Ch. 11 - Once Upon a Time...
Dani is flying over a city while doing barrel rolls and spins. "I never get tired of flying!" She then turned lazily onto her back and began flying in a laying position. She closed her eyes for a few minutes but when she opened them she was shocked. "What the…." The blue sky was now green and doors were floating everywhere. "Where am I?"
Dani had never been inside the ghost zone before but it didn't take her long to put 2 and 2 together. "This has to be the ghost zone….. but how did I get here?"
"Didn't you just come through that portal?"
She turned to see a large green horned ghost with no legs. "I did?"
It shook it's head and flew off. "Kids these days don't watch where their flying….'sigh'…"
Dani crossed her arms and began to think to herself. "Now how do I get out? The portal already closed so….." She floated their racking her brain for all the things Danny had told her she could do if she got stuck in the ghost zone. "Okay let's see…. Theirs Frostbite." She looked around but couldn't see even a speck of snow. "Well I have no idea where the land of FarFrozen is…."
She took a moment to think again. "Pandora?" She once again looked around but couldn't see anything that looked like Greek ruins. "Geez. Next time I'm getting a map from him. What's the point if I don't know where anything is?"
She then decided to fly off in another direction. "He said if all else fails, I should start opening random doors cause they lead to the real world sometimes." She then spent the next hour opening and slamming doors, one even having an evil robotic duck in it. She pressed that door closed as fast as she could and sighed with relief. "Danny didn't do this place justice….."
She then spotted a door that looked like a medieval castle gate. "How about that one?" She floated on through and laid her eyes upon a large castle that look as though it had been through a few battles. "What's this place? It looks like Camelot or something." She floated down and landed near the entrance of the castle where she was immediately spotted by the guards.
"Halt! Who goes their!?"
She jumped in surprise as a large spear was pointed at her face. "EEP!"
The guard was quickly joined by 3 more and they circled her. "What is your business in the land of Aragon!?"
She raised her brow as that name sounded rather familiar. "I-I'm sorry… I just got lost!" She seemed pleading by this point and was then directed into the castle at spear point. They conducted her into a large decorated hall where a pale woman sat in a large embroidered chair.
"Queen Dora, we have brought a new intruder we caught just outside the castle. She has been brought here unharmed, as per your request." They all bowed as the noble ghost looked over the young girl they brought her.
"What business do you have here?" She didn't sound nearly as threatening as the guards which put Dani at ease.
"I sort of got lost…" She shrugged and smiled sheepishly.
The queen smiled and then noticed the emblem on her chest. "Sir Phantom?"
Dani raise her eyebrow. "Who?"
The queen shook her head. "No wait….. do you know Danny Phantom?"
Dani's face brightened. "Yes! He's my cousin actually. Do you know him?"
Dora rose from her throne and approached the young halfa. "Why yes of course! Sir Phantom liberated my kingdom from my tyrannical brother. I owe him more than I could ever repay."
Dani jumped up in excitement. "OH! Your princess Dora right? OMG Danny told me about you! He said you have the power to transform into a dragon right?"
She calmly nodded which sent Dani spiraling into more excitement. "Calm down now." Dora said in a calm voice. "Now you said you were lost?"
"Uh-Huh." Dani floated back down to the ground.
"Well I'd like to take you back to Sir Phantom's portal, I sadly cannot because I must remain here to protect my kingdom, but I can send word to Lord Frosbite to come and get you. He is an honorable ally to Sir Phantom."
"You would do that?"
"Of course." Dora wore a smile as she was hugged by the young halfa.
"Thank you so much Miss Queen Dora!"
"Okay so that's how you ended up in Dora's kingdom, but what about the twins?"
Dani gave Danny a smirk. "How about a little patience? You want to me to finish or not?"
Danny gave a motion of surrender. "Keep going then geez."
"Why don't we start now?" "Yeah, cause we can just skip ahead at this point." Dani nodded in compliance as the twins went ahead.
The two of them fell through the portal and shot down like wet toilet paper. They landed hard about 7 feet down in front of an old castle gate. "That guy has more issues than I thought." "No kidding." The stood up and brushed themselves off as good as possible in their cuffs. They then took a long look around at all the crazy sights and sounds of the ghost zone.
"Hicka-bicka-boo?" "Hoo-sha!" They then turned their gaze to the gate. "Let's check it out." "Definitely!" They ran at top speed into the medieval portal and found themselves a little lost in time. "Whoa!" The sight of the castle was the most amazing to them yet as they hurried to get a closer look. Their unfortunate lack of tact got them caught immediately by a guard patrol.
"Humans!" They were surrounded before they knew it, but they seemed more excited than scared.
"Ghost knights!" "Awesome!"
Then the leader pointed his spear at the boy. "You have but a second to explain yourselves humans!" The twins looked at each other and raised their hands in surrender. The ghost noticed the bindings on the boys and scrutinized them carefully.
"Heads up!" Dani flys over and picks them out of the crowd of guards my their raised cuffs.
"Lady Danielle! What is the meaning of this!?"
"Their humans, they're not going to hurt you!"
"We are following our Queen's orders!" The knight then motioned to his men to give chase.
"Crap!" She turned to the boys and shouted. "Time to run!" She took off in the lead with Jim and Tim not far behind. As they approached a dead end they started worrying because Danielle hadn't slowed down.
"Where are we going!?" Dani simply motioned to keep going and as she approached the dead end a ring formed around her waist. It split and transformed her white hair black and her jumpsuit into a pair of red pants with a blue hoodie. They quickly got over their initial shock of the transformation when they saw her run right through the wall. "What just happened?!" They cried out in unison.
"Just keep moving! Trust me its fine!" Given the choice of being captured by the ghost knights or running into a wall they decided to trust her. They squeeze their eyes shut as they passed through and were both jerked into a small room just inside after they crossed. "Shhhh! We don't need any more guards to notice you guys just yet." Dani lit up the dark closet space with some ecto energy where she finally saw the astonishment on their faces.
"Who are you!?" "Yeah and how can you do what Danny Phantom does?"
Dani was pretty surprised they had met. "He's my cousin actually, but who are you?"
"Jim." "Tim." "and you are?"
"Danielle but you guys can call me Dani with an I"
"And you have ghost powers like your cousin?" "Cool!"
Dani quickly realized that she missed something earlier and begins to address it. "Wait you know my cousin's half ghost?"
"Yeah…. It was kind of an accident." "We won't tell anyone though."
Dani sighed with relief and then peeked out the door to see if the coast was clear. "Alright it looks like we can make it to Dora from here." She jogged out of the room and the twins were quick to follow. They were able to get into the throne room without incident, but the guards beat her to it.
"Lady Danielle!" Dora, who was being addressed by the guards when they entered, quickly moved towards her. "What were you doing?"
Dani smiled sheepishly. "I was just trying to keep the guards from attacking them. They had spears pointed at them."
Dora sighed but wore a smile. "They were not going to harm them. They are under orders by me to bring all intruders to me unharmed."
Dani blushed a bit from her misunderstanding. "Oh…"
Dora then turned to the boys and noticed the cuffs. "Who bonded these boys? I gave no such orders!"
The lead knight shook his head. "It was not us your highness, the boys came already wearing them."
She then turned back to the boys. "What happened?"
The boys traded nods and they began their story. "We snuck into the lair of a mad scientist." "But we got caught by his lackey Shego." "Dr. Drakken, the mad scientist, then cuffed us." "When Danny Phantom showed up with our sister he tried to save us." "But the cuffs shocked him!" "Dr. Drakken then threw us into the ghost zone!"
Dani gave them a worried look. "Danny's in trouble!?"
They responded in unison. "Yeah!"
Dani gave Dora Pleading smile and she nodded. "If it is for Sir Phantom, I would be happy to help."
"Then she broke us out of our handcuffs and flew us back threw the portal on her back." "Her turning into a dragon was the last this I expected after all we had seen."
Sam and Danny traded knowing glances. "Trust me, that's just the tip of the iceberg."
Dora craned her neck back towards the teens. "In all my years, a halfa has to be the most unusual thing I have seen."
Danny shrugged. "I'd have agree considering I only know of three including myself."
They were then surprised by a familiar beeping noise. "Wade?"
"Kim! Thank god I got you. I've been trying to reach you for hours now! That lair must have had some kind of shielding device."
Kim looked to Danny who simply nodded. "Yeah, sounds right."
"Anyway, I posted one of the pictures you sent me of Danny and I immediately got a hit on my profile. Some guy named Tucker asked me where he got it but I didn't give him any details. He bombarded my message box with questions after that."
Danny and Sam laughed. "Don't worry about it. Tuck is one my friends and he's always on the internet. He keeps tabs on news about me as a safety precaution."
Sam rolled her eyes. "He practically lives their actually. One day it wouldn't surprise me if he married his PDA."
"I HEARD THAT!"
They turn to Wade's screen to see it halved off partially showing Tucker. "I was worried about you and this is how you thank me?!"
"Calm down Tuck it was a joke."
"Besides it's true isn't it?"
Tuck only gave them silence before Wade cut it. "Did you just hack my feed?!"
"Yeah sorry, I've been watching your activity since you posted that picture. I noticed Sam in the background so it got me worried." A low ringing was heard as tuck picked up his phone. "Hold up a sec…. yeah hi…. Yeah…. Wait what!?... Why would they-….. great….. yeah thanks I'll tell him." He then hung up and placed his phone down.
"Who was that?"
He gave a sheepish smile as he began to answer. "That was Jazz….."
"And?" Sam was a bit agitated at his hesitance.
"She said Danny's parents just dragged her into the RV and their on their way to Middleton. Apparently Sam parents called them to complain that she wasn't answering her phone and blamed Danny for it."
Sam face palmed and Danny sighed. "Figures….They are so ridiculous!"
Danny turned to Sam. "Calm down. I'm sure we can come up with something."
"Yeah, I can tell them you came with us. It's not like it would be a lie."
"That works, now all we have to do is get their casually without raising too many flags." Danny sat and pondered over his situation.
