Back in the Great Hall, Nautabu was having fun as Danny and Valerie was upon the back porch, side by side as they talked and kissed. After a slyly mischievous kiss from Valerie, Danny chuckled, "You're beating me by being a great kisser, Val, but I beat you in the race today.".
"You're not going to stop bragging the whole night, are you?". asked Valerie with a raised eyebrow and a smile. Danny smiled, "I can't help it. Winning a couple of races here and there is fine, but on my birthday, well, I had to do something awesome.".
"So, that's why you asked for the feast tonight.". replied Valerie thoughtfully. Danny nodded, "Yeah.". Valerie then rested her head upon Danny's shoulder and sighed deeply as she glanced up through the patches of the trees to see the few stars glimpsing on.
"Sorry that you couldn't be a astronaut anymore, ghost boy.". Valerie murmured softly. Danny blinked slowly, his hand slowly coming up, elapsed Valerie's shoulder warmly, "The past is the past. We're in a entirely different world, with new friends, and our small family together like it always is. Besides, I am half ghost, and I only had been outside Earth one time, just one time. I'd never gone beyond much further than that. Nah, I feel like I actually can live here, you know?".
Valerie sighed lightly at that, "I hear you, Danny, yet I could be happier if Dad was here too, yeah?". Danny squeezed Valerie's shoulder, "I know. He helped me move on so much. I suppose I can go back to get him, but the Fenton portal and the others are gone, the only chances I'd be back in Amity Park is those natural portals like the one that had back on that day of the Disasteroid.".
"No, Dad would've wanted all of us safe and alive in the one place we need to belong, and that is here.". Valerie mused carefully as she nuzzled Danny's neck softly. Danny sighed, nodded slightly, "Fair enough, Val. So, what do you say to eat some grub back inside?". Valerie was to answer when a scream of pain alerted them as a battered up Keldan fell into the ground through the bushes from the western way of their positions.
"Keldan!". shouted Danny as he and Valerie came to him, with Valerie cradling up his head as he whimpered and mumbled words. "She..she..". Valerie reprimanded him quickly, "Keldan, slow down and tell us what happened.".
"Dani's been taken, those evil Vikings, they overwhelmed Mosshunter, threw these chains over him, and Dani as she was trying to help Mosshunter out. I was fighting them all I did, and one of them hit me upon the head, and they vanished when I woke. I had to come back!". Keldan rambled in panic and horror, his eyes terrified and pained as he realized that he failed Dani, his soul mate.
The Great Hall heard the scream and half of Nautabu understood what Keldan said besides Team Phantom who clearly understood the situation as they crowded in the back in the open door. Jazz then replied, "We can find her with the Boomerang.". Sam nodded, "It's worth a shot as we got hair from her in her brush, and the Boomerang can lock upon her signature!".
Danny growled slightly, "Tucker, go get it from the base. I think it's time to reveal the Speeder.". Sam came up to Keldan, and sighed, "I better work with the shaman to heal Keldan. He's not that good at all. Danny, go find our daughter before.." as Tucker turned around to hop on Lakestar and fly off to Phantom Base.
With a firm nod, Danny replied, "No matter what it takes, how long it takes, we will get Danielle back, even if I had to save her from this leader of the Rogue Vikings!". He then turned ghost and flew off, his heart beating, his eyes narrowed in anger and panic, and he muttered, "Princess, we will find you, I swear it.".
Meanwhile upon a cage that was held by a chained flying Rainbow Claw which is being ridden by a Rogue Viking, Danielle screamed in pain as she tried to regain her powers, but the chains on her blocked her powers, and soon enough, with exhaustion from struggling to break free, she shifted back to human, heaving and crying with stifling sobs. Her neck was already sore from her screams and the chain on her, with her arms held down in more chains as well, with her legs free to move around. She was having a flashback of the terrible time that Vlad tortured her like she was a experiment, and it scared her as she couldn't imagine what she would see from the Rogue Vikings or their leader.
Poor Mosshunter was chained similarly as well, being in another cage by a particularly big Dark Striker with its forced Rogue Viking Rider. He roared in anger and disbelief as he saw that he was chained once again, and upset to see his human's mate chained like him. He knew where they were going, and it isn't good for him or Brave-Ellie which he called Danielle by. He only hoped that Brave-Ellie can pull through what she will endure in the most worst place he absolutely despised and hated with all his heart. To the dragons, it is called Uffern's Gate, but to the Rogue Vikings and their leader, it is called the Darklands, and to the humans outside that, in Nautabu and the other towns call it the Forbidden Lands.
