Chapter 10: Winter Solstice Part 1: Bitter Reunions.
Shadow: Welcome to the 10th chapter… the big chapter where Danny meets his arch enemy.
Dani: The chapter within the Fire Nation Capital. But before we go into this chapter we need a brief recap. Last time Danny was kidnaped by Hei Bai… then he met Po the Kung Fu Panda. Danny then got back and learned that Aang had to go into the Fire Nation to go talk to Roku. And we also learned that Danny was having a meeting with his family.
Shadow: Now readers before we continue I would like to say thank you for reading this far and staying faithful in the fanfic. Now CA15 has decided that there will be cameos of other characters from other Nickelodeon shows. So please enjoy.

Danny was beginning to worry as the boat his parent's made got closer and closer to the Fire Nation Capital.
They were already past the gates of Azulon and were speeding towards the city that was right in front of them.
Danny knew that once he went onto the land his family would be hounded by royal kiss ups and guards.
Danny knew one thing would be cool about when his family and three friends arrived. They would be the most unique. They would be arriving in the Fenton Family Assault Ship. A small ship charged by ecto energy that had the Fire Nation Logo, the Water Tribe Logo and the Fenton Logo.
It was good to have parents who were inventors and had IQ's of 200… well his mom had the high IQ anyway.
"Okay Sam what is your fake story?" Danny asked.
"I am from the Fire Nation colonies. My dad is a firebender my mom in an earthbender… they are both dead and I have been adopted by the Fentons." Sam said.
"Cool. If we keep that story then no one will suspect a thing." Tucker said.
"Kids we're about to stop get your things ready." Maddie called.
"Well here we go." Danny said.
Once they docked they were greeted by the guards who escorted them to the royal palace where they would be staying for the next few days.
When they entered the first Person they saw wasn't Ozai, Azula the royal brats (as Danny called them) or any of the other guests, the first person they saw was the Genius Billionaire Playboy Philanthropist Vladimir Masters… wait was Danny thinking about Vlad Masters or someone else because a better description popped into his head for some unknown reason… Vlad Masters the Seriously Crazed Fruit Loop Billionaire Lonely, Needs a Cat, Evil Guy.
Once Danny saw him he felt a cold feeling but no blue mist came out of his mouth.
"Vladdy!" Jack said as he gave his former friend a large bear hug.
"Jack good to see you." Vlad said through gasps of air. "I didn't expect to see you here until later this afternoon."
Jack then let Vlad go before he introduced Vlad to his children… and their friends.
"Allow me to take you to your little brother Jack and Family." Vlad said before he escorted them to Ozai's thrown room.
When they walked in Danny had to resist rolling his eyes at how Ozai was sitting behind his wall of flames.
Danny then noticed the other three people in the room, his cousin Azula and the other two cousins, whom Danny called Royal Brats, Yang and Sie.
Yang was Sie's twin brother. He had black hair and he had the usual orange red eyes that most members of the Fire Nation had. He was also in the Fire Nation royal uniform. Sie was Yang's twin sister. She also had black hair and the usual orange red eyes. She was also in her Fire Nation royal uniform.
Danny hated those two like hell. They were rude, arrogant, cocky and were quite frankly royal pains. The fact that they looked Azula and Zuko also made Danny's blood boil.
"Ahh, Jackson, Madeline, Jasmine and Daniel." Ozai said. "It's been a while since you were last here."
Danny really felt like bolting. He didn't like it when people called him by his full name in an evil yet happy calm tone and now that it was his entire family he felt a lot of dread. Then again he felt that every time Uncle Ozai talked like that anyway.
"Azula, Yang, Sie, take the others to the area were all you children will 'hang out' while us Adults talk." Ozai said.
"Of course father." Yang and Sie said in sync as if they said it a thousand times.
"Yes Father." Azula said.
Azula then escorted her cousin and her friends… and Sam out while the two 10 year old brats left them with Azula.
"Okay no matter how many times I see them; those kids always mange to creep me out." Tucker said.
"You and me both." Azula and Danny said in sync. "Ah, would you stop that?"
"Danny, stop that or I'll make you look like Zuko." Azula said in a challenging voice.
"Oh come on cuz, you wouldn't do that." Danny said while returning the challenging tone. "You wouldn't strike your own cousin with lightning… nor would you want to ruin this good looking face."
"Uh what just happened?" Sam asked.
"Danny and Azula are twins. Two cousins born on the same day." Jazz said.
"Really?" Sam asked.
Azula then showed them to where they would be staying. When they got there they saw two of Danny's other Fire Nation friends from the time he spent here, Valarie and Mai.
~00000~
By the evening a lot more people had arrived at the Royal Palace.
All the children of the adults that went to the same university as Danny's parents were here and they were all socialising in the court yard.
There was Danny and Jazz Fenton, Sam Manson, Tucker Foley, Azula, Ty-Lee, Mai, Valarie Gray, Dash Baxter, Paulina Sanchez, Star, Kwan, Carly Shay, Sam Puckett, Jimmy Neutron, Cindy Vortex, Tori and Trina Vega and Timmy Turner. Also there were the two twin devils that Danny didn't feel were worth the mention.
Danny noticed that some of the girls were trying to flirt with him because they knew if something happened to Ozai, Zuko, Azula, the terror twins and his parents then Danny would be the logical choice for the heir to the throne. Plus Danny had to admit he looked good so why wouldn't the ladies want him.
Danny continued to chat before he heard something that sounded close but far in the castle.
"Alright listen the boss gave us the job of killing the one guy." A voice said in an accent that Danny couldn't really get.
"Which guy was it?" a second voice said in the same accent.
"The big fat guy in orange Fire Nation blacksmith clothing." A third voice said in the same accent. "How could you forget?"
"Hey I am two thousand and eight years old. I forget tings." The second voice said.
"Okay fine let's just go kill the baboon." The first voice said.
Danny then realised that they were going to go after his dad.
"Guys, I gotta jet, some ghosts are going after my dad." Danny said in a low tone.
"Danny I'm going with you to help you." Sam said.
"Cool." Danny said.
What Danny didn't notice was that two people who weren't meant to hear that heard it.
As Danny and Sam snuck away Yang and Sie then followed after.
Danny and Sam then went into a secluded area before Danny raised his hands up high and said.
"I'm Goin' Ghost." Danny said as his twin white halos appeared at the top of his hands and the bottom of his feet before they moved to the centre of his body.
Danny then turned and saw Sam already in her ghost form and shaking her head with embarrassment.
"What?" Danny asked.
"Was the 'goin' ghost' necessary?" Sam asked. "Actually why do you do it?"
"It strikes fear into my enemies." Danny said with a smirk.
At the other end of the hall way the two twins smirked evilly.
"So cousin Danny is half ghost as well?" Yang said telepathically to his sister.
"And the same can be said about Sam." Sie replied "Should we tell father? Or should we have some fun?"
"Fun. But I wonder who sent ghosts to kill Uncle Jack?" Yang wondered.
"It doesn't matter. Let's follow and figure out his powers." Sie said.
Two flaming halos appeared on each of their waists before they split and travelled in opposite directions.
Their jet black hair then became stark white. Their amber eyes became blood red. Yang's outfit transformed into a black jump suit that had red markings on the arms and legs and red gloves, boots and a red belt. Sie's outfit transformed into a black and red top. One half was black while the other was red, with one red glove and one black glove. She also had black pants with red marks and red boots… also her stomach was showing. (AU: Is it me or are those outfits a little familiar)
They then followed Danny and Sam.
~00000~
Danny and Sam followed their ghost sense before they got to the location of the three ghosts. They then phased into the room and saw three ghost vultures.
"You three overgrown chickens are the ones trying to take my dad?" Danny asked. "Now I think should have just let him take care of you. Ya'll don't look like much."
"Danny, never estimate them by their looks. They could be dangerous." Sam said.
"Who are you?" the first ghost vulture asked.
"Danny Phantom the teenage half ghost hero." Danny said. "But you can call me your ass kicker."
The three ghost vultures then swooped down to Attack Danny but he created ecto blasts before firing at them before Sam called for some vines from the ground to wrap the vultures up in.
The vultures then dodged Danny's attack but were caught in Sam's weeds.
"Okay so who sent you after my dad?" Danny asked.
"Vlad Plasmius." The second vulture said before the third one hit him on the head.
"Idiot, you weren't to tell him that." The third vulture said.
"Sorry I forget tings. I am 2 thousand and 8 years old." The vulture said.
Danny then rolled his eyes before he opened the Fenton Thermos and sucked them in.
"So let's get back to the others." Danny said.
"No problem Danny." Sam said.
~00000~
The terror twins watched as Danny and Sam flew back and went back into blending with the teenagers in the room.
"Our cousin has powers that we don't have. Why don't we have those abilities?" Sie asked telepathically.
"We probably do but we don't know how to use them." Yang said telepathically. "Our freakish aunt and uncle probably told him about the powers he had."
"You know if it hadn't been for that Watertribe wench that our uncle calls a wife, then he would be king, he wouldn't care about this ghost nonsense and Danny would probably be less powerful then we are." Sie said telepathically.
"Come on let's transform and get back before they notice we left." Yang said.
They then transformed and went back into the room and they watched as their cousin hung out with their sister.
~00000~
The next morning Danny tried thinking about the three ghosts that tried to attack his dad but that was changed the moment he got to the beach.
The moment he walked onto the beach he noticed everyone watching him.
"What?" Danny asked.
"Well you are the only Waterbender here and we were hoping you could show us your skills." Carly said.
"Are you kidding?" Danny asked as he looked at the group of firebenders. "I'm not good at waterbending."
"Come on Danny; show us what you can do." Azula said.
Danny then sighed before he took a deep breath in and pushed with his hands while trying to tap into his powers.
Instead of making the water push back something else happened. Ice grew all over the ocean and spread for a few meters.
Danny then stopped and looked at his work.
"Wow. Didn't know I could do that?" Danny said.
Danny then walked forward and took a look at the frozen ocean. He noticed how thick he had made it and then he smirked.
"Guys forget swimming in the Ocean." Danny said with a small laugh. "Let's do this Waterbender style."
He then ran across the ice and the top of it became snow before he turned around and kicked up a bunch of snow curved it into a snowball with his hands before he aimed it precision accuracy and threw it at his target.
The Snowball hit Azula.
"Hey Princess…" Danny called with a mischievous childish smirk. "Face me in my element."
Azula was shocked before she smirked. And as if they were all little kids having fun they all got ready for a fight.
"Firebenders, I am Fire Lord Azula and you are the best benders our nation has seen. The king of the Watertribe has waged war against us, so your job is to attack with their weapons." Azula said as she took charge and spoke with her bloodlust tone. "Your job is to take their king."
The war then started, snowballs and the occasional fire blast were shot towards Danny and he dodged a few, was hit by more and also returned the fire… or ice in this case.
While this was happening Vlad, Jack, Maddie and Ozai had come out to the beach and saw the fight taking place.
Ozai was obviously glad as his daughter had taken charge and was issuing a massacre against his nephew even thought it was just fun and games.
Jack and Maddie were proud that Danny had created the ice and was dodging their attacks. But they were also worried as Danny had a regenerative ghost core that always spiked in moments of adrenalin especially when he was using his waterbending.
Vlad on the other hand seemed to be watching Danny and Sam. Something told him that they weren't just simple benders. Something told him that they were special. And he could see that was obvious how they fought with the snowballs. Something about their fighting style was too abnormal.
Danny kept on dodging and evading and he noticed that the firebenders and Sam were getting more and more aggressive with the snowballs and they increased. A lot more were coming but Danny could still dodge. He was feeling this sensation that he hadn't felt for a while. He couldn't explain it but the snow and ice all seamed ghostly but also felt like his powers. He didn't seem to notice how his eyes glowed more bright blue but he did notice that time seemed to slow down as a large volley of snowballs came towards him.
He then found himself remembering something that happened two years ago.
He was trying to practise bending with Katara. She was a lot better than him because almost everything he tried froze and had a sense of power on them.
"Jeez why can't I do this right?" Danny asked.
"Well it looks like you're better than bending ice while I'm better at bending water." Katara said.
"So what, I'm an ice bender?" Danny asked.
"Well that could explain why you aren't so good at bending water." Katara said.
"I just need a proper teacher." The 12 year old boy said.
"We both need proper teachers." The twelve year old girl said. "Remember we both suck at bending."
"You sure? You seem like the best waterbender in the world. And I should know I've travelled around the world." Danny said.
"But not to the North Pole." Katara said
Danny looked in front of him and the snowballs were all about to hit him so he reacted on instinct he didn't know he had.
"STOOOPPP!" Danny called shielded his hands in front of him and nothing touched him.
Danny then looked up and noticed that all the snowballs were floating there in suspended animation.
He saw the shocked looked on everyone's faces. And everyone was pretty sure that Danny's eyes were completely glowing blue. They couldn't see any detail in his eyes just a blue glow. They thought it was a trick of the light but a few knew part of the truth.
Danny could feel that ghostly presence again as if there was a whole bunch of frozen ghosts awaiting his orders.
Danny then clenched his fist and it seemed to glow blue. He smirked.
"The war has turned." Danny said with the knowledge that was war was now in his favour. The war had now got their ultimate weapon to bring order and peace.
But which war had this advantage?
Ozai was afraid when Danny said those lines and something about the way his eyes looked in the light brought up a very bad thought of glowing eyes and glowing arrows.
Jack, Maddie, Vlad, Sam, Jazz, Azula, Valarie, Ty-lee, Tucker and Mai all seemed to notice that the sky became the night time sky with the moon shining down on Danny… but that wasn't the moon because it was a whitish silver blue colour with a DP symbol etched into it. It pulsed with power as if it were a core of freedom that would help end hardships.
Danny then punched the air and the snowballs flew forward but not only that but all the snow on the ice they were standing on as well.
There was an explosion of snow and the ice cracked underneath their feat but the snow blast was enough to push the teens back onto the mainland while Danny fell underwater.
Ozai looked with a tinge of fear in his eyes. Every person in Azula's fun Fire Nation army had been taken down by the power of one boy. The power of a boy with glowing eyes and abilities strong enough to destroy entire armies. A boy that his son was currently searching for. A boy with glowing eyes and glowing arrows with abilities of a thousand benders that could destroy armies. The Fire Nation's biggest Threat. The Boy that had made the war turn in the favour of the enemy.
Danny then burst out of the water and swam back to shore. He then helped everyone out of the snow before he apologised instead of gloated. He had just won a war and made peace with his enemies that still stood.
"Where did all that power come from?" Timmy asked.
"I don't know?" Danny said with a shrug. "Jeez how come I'm not this good when I'm in life threatening situations?"
"Maybe it's the fact that you haven't been trained yet." Jazz said.
Before Danny could reply a blue wisp of cold air escaped his mouth and he gasped.
"Uh I gotta go." Danny said before he ran to the nearest cover he could find.
~00000~
Over the next few days Danny and Sam found themselves fighting more and more ghosts that were going after Jack Fenton.
And it was tonight where they were really shocked.
They were floating around the castle looking for the ghost that set off their ghost sense while the terror twins watched them.
Danny and Sam were looking for the ghost but they couldn't find it but then he found them.
As they floated about they saw a glowing green box sitting in the middle.
"Oh don't tell me the Box Ghost was the one that's currently haunting this place." Danny said.
"Wrong whelp." Skulker's voice said before the box flashed and Danny and Sam fell down unconscious.
~00000~
Danny and Sam awoke in a purple laboratory and they noticed that they were both in large black and green boxes.
"Sam can you go ghost?" Danny asked.
"No, I'm guessing you can't either?" Sam asked.
"Yeah." Danny said.
"Well, well the second half ghost half human hybrid created from Jack Fenton's foolishness." Vlad said as he walked into the light of the room. "And a Demi-ghost."
"Second?" Danny asked.
A black ring then appeared on Vlad's waist and it split and turned his regular Fire Nation uniform into a white suit with a black cape. It also turned his skin blue and his eyes blood red. His grey hair also turned midnight black.
"So I'm guessing you're Vlad Plasmius." Sam said.
"Yes I am. The man who was cursed by Jack Fenton during collage who now has ghost powers." Vlad said.
"Having ghost powers are awesome not a curse." Danny said.
"Your father also stole my love from me." Vlad said. "Maddie and I were meant to get married. She loved me but then you father came and took her and the children I was meant to have."
Danny and Sam then exchanged nervous glances.
"What do you mean?" Danny asked.
Vlad then turned to Danny and Sam.
"Daniel, Samantha, Join me. Become my children. Allow me to train you to use the proper potential and to be the best of the best. We will rule the world. I will dispose of your father and marry your mother and then we will reign over the world." Vlad said.
Danny and Sam then stared at the man in front of them and Danny's views of the man changed.
He wasn't a Genius Billionaire Playboy Philanthropist as Danny had previously perceived, no he was a Seriously Crazed Fruit Loop Billionaire Lonely, Needs a Cat, Evil Guy.
"We will never join you. My mom will never marry you… you are one seriously crazed fruit loop if you think you can just come here, demand that we become your children and talk about killing my dad like it's a walk in the park." Danny yelled.
"Well you might not see it now but you need me Daniel." Vlad said. "Maybe once your father is dead you'll be able to see the truth."
Vlad then vanished from sight.
Danny felt his anger overwhelm him and he broke free from the box that confined him.
"We can't let him win." Danny said as he broke Sam out.
"Yeah that's true." Sam said. "So come on Phantom, let's go kick the ass of that fruit loop and save your dad."
Danny and Sam then flew out of the lab and discovered that they were at Plasmius's mansion that was slightly far from the royal palace but they'd make it back to Palace in time to stop Plasmius.
They then flew at full speed towards the palace and when they arrived they saw Plasmius was about to kill Jack.
Danny then flew in head first and punched Plasmius away.
"Hey fruit loop, why're you attacking innocent guys?" Danny said as his hands began to glow green with ecto energy.
Everyone stared at Danny. They'd all heard stories about the Phantom Bender but they never thought that they'd see him in person. But they all had the same thought what was he doing in the Fire Nation.
Danny shot ecto blasts at Vlad but he just dodged them or deflected them with ecto shields.
Danny kept distracting Vlad while Sam snuck up behind him. She used her plant abilities to try and restrain him while Danny continued to attack.
Sam was eventually able to contain Vlad before Danny came and knocked the evil halfa out.
Danny and Sam then took him out of the room and back to his lab before they tied him up with ectoranium ropes.
"Alright Plasmius, we are prepared to strike you a deal." Danny said. "If you don't tell our uncle or anyone about us then we won't tell my parents, Ozai and the world about who you are."
"Think about this, who would they believe?" Sam said. "Their loveable relative Danny Fenton who isn't known for lying or the cheating snake that hid the truth from them for several years?"
"Well you win Daniel and Samantha, but I will have you two as my children later on." Vlad said.
"Yeah sure and I will become evil and destroy the world." Danny said.
Danny then heard a snicker coming from the shadows so he quickly spun around and shot eco goop at two invisible entities before he spun then them around and attached them to the wall.
The terror twins then became visible.
"Terror Twins?" Danny asked.
"Their halfa's as well?" Sam asked.
"Hello cousin?" Yang and Sie said in sync.
"Seriously you guys should stop doing that." Danny said.
"We should report you three to our father." Yang said.
"And we will." Sie said.
"And if you do we'll tell them about you guys and since Ozai hates ghosts he'll have our parents remove your ghostly abilities." Danny said.
"Can they do that?" Sie asked.
"Yes they did it to Tucker." Danny said.
"So no one tells anyone about our abilities. And we walk away with a clean slate." Plasmius said. "Wonderful."
"Can you release us now?" Yang asked.
Danny looked at the 10 year olds and the 48 year old then he looked at Sam and remembered that it took 2 months before she was released from Fire Nation Care.
Danny and Sam then smirked before they turned invisible and left
~00000~
The next day every family left the royal palace.
Danny, Jazz, Sam, Tucker and Ty-Lee met up with Aang, Katara and Sokka before they decided to continue their journey.

Shadow: And there was chapter 10.
Dani: Wow. So Zuko and Azula have two younger siblings who seem more evil than they are.
Shadow: Yeah. You guys all know that Yang is bad the opposite of yin, etc. so that explains why Yang was named Yang and the name Sie is because Sie means evil in Chinese.
Dani: Cool. So what will happen next? Read, Review, Favourite and Follow to find out.
