Danny Phantom: chapter 29, pissing sister off

Summary: Sam and Tucker are brought back safely. Danny is very worried about them, but has no time to rest. Pariah gives a distress call about his sister showing up. Soon after there is a loud bang and two figures burst out of the ghost portal. Danny has to change into a ghost to fight the next enemy.

Danny's view:

My heart was racing. Why was Pariahs family so damn scary and oppressive. I evaded the woman's death blow death blow by a hair. She sounded furious. I flew back to create a bit more distance. Instead of attacking again, she mocked me. I grimaced. "Don't worry about it. I believe your dad had enough fun creating you." I went intangible to avoid her knife going through my skull. Yikes, she was a bit too easy to tease. Pariah flew up with a grin. "Daniël meet your older sister Luana. The only person in our Dark family with no sense of humor, well until recently." He was answered with a knife flying close to his head." Luana stared at me, like sizing me up. "Who the hell is your mother supposed to be? Alcafoar couldn't find a woman with such strong roots in freezing like his own. And now some child with the capability of soul freezing exist in his family? How the hell did that happen? We were locked up for centuries inside that slumbering prison. I'm pretty sure that he can't be your father, since you're still a greenhorn."

I had difficulty even following her questions. Why was she asking this kind of information in the middle of a fight? Since I didn't answer her, her face reddened. She turned around to look at Pariah with disdain. "You got actually married? Where is that slut? I love to torture her after I kill you." Wow, just wow. What is happening right now? It feels like this fight just went from killing Pariah to interrogating him about his love life. Pariah smiled. "Why would I tell you that? It's not like I would invite you to the wedding?" She lunched at him with one of the black knives in her hand. "Oh, I bet you would. Just to make sure that I don't destroy the wedding location at the same time." I landed on my parents car. What is going on? Mom, Jazz, Sam and dad stopped shooting as well. Even Notrada flew back to me. Her facial expression was just as confused. She stared at me? "Are they discussing a wedding in the middle of a death fight?" I nodded. "It seems that she believes that I'm Pariah's son, since Alcafoar couldn't have escaped the ancient ghost zone."

We stood at the sidelines seeing the siblings throwing words at each other. They weren't fighting with their full strength. It was mostly a verbal fight. Fenrir came back to me and laid down on my shoulders. He truly had grown a bit. I petted his fluffy fur with my hand. How long will this discussion continuo? How should we defeat her? She noticed my power as soon as I tried it on her. I won't be able to concentrate if she starts to attack me. I stared at Notrada. "How should we capture her? Is the prototype fenton thermos strong enough for a ghost of her position?" Notrada stared at the woman screaming abuse at Pariah. "Yeah it should be able to hold her if she is weakened. Sneak attacks won't work with the prototype. We have to beat her down in order to capture her. So if you could capture her and slowly drain her?" That would be dangerous. The last time that I used my barrier, I was locked inside with them. Was I able to handle her attacks if Pariah was already at the end of his breath?

I suddenly noticed the glance of Pariah. He nodded at me and his sister. Wait, did he stall on purpose? Did he know that Luana would start a discussion with him as soon as she saw me? That sly fox. Well, no use in pondering. I imagined the large barrier that I made for the fire brothers. Multiple layers of freezing ice. Killing the warmth in the surroundings. Instantly freezing the ground inside. My core started to spin happily. It gushed out waves of cold air. My body felt even colder than before, but It made my body hyper. Like I drank too much energy drinks at once. The strength that I felt coming from my core was strength that I didn't recognize. I love to flaunt my might, but this power wasn't that of my half ghost form. In this case it would be good, but it didn't feel like being a half ghost. I opened my eyes to see Luana staring at me with her mouth open. "How the hell did you learn dads techniques? Pariah isn't smart enough to remember any of these." Wow, she really underestimated Pariah. Were they always like this at home before closing the ancient ghost zone? I shrugged at her. "Don't you like the cold? Doesn't it remind you of Alcafoar?"

Inside my barrier it was freezing. The ground was white with a slight nuance of blue. The grass on the side crumbled to pieces when Pariah moved his feet. The street slowly cracked under the cold. The glass from the lantern broke including the lamp. Luana's and Pariahs body steamed from warmth. My body did not, since it was causing the cold environment. Luana cursed. "It reminds me a bit too much about dad. I should have killed him before he learned this technique to anyone else. Well, as soon as I kill you it will stop." I stepped aside to avoid two blades going for my head. I whistled. "You don't want to discuss wedding pictures anymore?" I got a wave of blades coming at me. Whoops. I think I hit a nerve. I hit every blade with an icicle of my own. The blades froze and fell to the ground. Luana cursed again. "Argh, I hate freezers. It's so annoying to battle in the cold! Pariah, I'll make you pay for creating such a nuisance." And just like that she focused on Pariah again. This was a really strange fight.

I just focused on slowly freezing her skin and body. She seemed to shiver a bit. How could this be working? Even Pariah wasn't so weak right. It felt so strange. I touched my earphone and talked to Sam. "Don't you think that this fight is a little too easy? Look at Pariah's wounds? How can she harm him but not me? The only thing I need to do is evading her knives?" Sam nodded from outside the barrier. "Start soul freezing her. If she is underestimating you, why not use it?" I nodded and stretched out my hand. I felt the cold on my fingertips and let the cold creep up on her feet. Her eyes instantly turned towards me. I couldn't fully evade her dagger this time. It cut into my arm. Green blood slowly dripped from the wound. Her face was ugly from her angered expression. "Don't try anything funny while I torture my brother, otherwise your next!" My hearth sped up. What was up with her speed. She wasn't serious with me. That's for certain. How should I finish this fight when I can't even evade her knives?

She focused her attention on Pariah and continued her fight. How should I do this, without getting killed. I couldn't back out of this fight since it would be at the cost of Pariah's life. I asked Sam since I had no bright idea's. Luana gave me quite a fright with her last attack. Sam connected me with Notrada. "What should I do? I can't use my shield to block her knives for even a second. I can't start to freeze everything in my ice dome since Pariah is here as well. Throwing icicles is probably not going to work on her too. Soul freezing seems like the best option, but she'll kill me before I get to her." I suddenly got hit with Pariah and flew with my back against the barrier. Pariah wheezed and panted. He grinned at me. "She's quite a difficult one to handle, don't you think?" I nodded and whispered. "How do we beat her? She isn't even fighting us seriously? You're almost at your limit?" Pariah slapped me on my back. "She's weakening alright, otherwise I would be death by now. Can you take it up a notch?" I shook my head. "You're in here as well. I can start the ice dome, but you won't like it as well." Pariah shrugged. "I don't need to be afraid that you'll lock me up in a thermos. My sister doesn't know that we posses such an option and I'll warm up eventually. Rather frozen than dead."

He flew up again and battled his sister with his mace. He swung it against her knives. Smashing them to pieces, but many of the other knives slashed at him. He was in a disadvantage because of his weapon. Just as he suggested, I started the ice dome. It was already freezing inside, but now! It started hailing with ice shards. A wind strong enough the gauche your skin blew through the dome. The temperature dropped even more, but I felt nothing of it. My core was having fun. The cold from my core was now spreading out throughout my body. Before it felt like my body was containing the cold with layers of flesh, slowly growing warmer towards the outside. Now everything in my body was as cold as my core. I noticed the influence it had. Pariah and Luana started cursing. Their already bad skin color turned slightly blue. I surrounded myself with the icicles that formed inside the ice dome. What if I used these as my shield? It felt like I could do anything at the moment.

I gathered the icicles and made them into a moving current around me like a globe. I made another layer moving in an opposite direction. This was going to be good. I was quite proud of myself at the moment. I made a third layer just to be sure and not a minute to soon. Luana didn't seem to like the extra cold and send a batch of knives towards me. The first layer stopped most of the daggers, breaking upon contact. No this wasn't strong enough. If she got close, she would smash them with ease. They had the be harder than this. I stretched my hand to envision it better. A pale blue light gathered around my fingers. The white icicles turned blue. It became a darker shade the more I concentrated. I heard another curse from Luana. It rained daggers towards me. My icicles slashed them to pieces now. Her face had multiple scratches with a bit of blood. How did she get those? Pariah cursed as well. I suddenly noticed the blue colored hail flowing in waves against Luana. Dammed. That wasn't my intention. I pissed her off without knowing.

She lunched at me but pulled back her hand away from the first layer of icicles. She had deep gauches in her hand. I grinned from triumph. My plan worked. These layers were imitating a shredder. If she tried to kill me, she would harm herself too. If glares could kill, I would have been so dead by now. I suddenly felt the toll of using this ice. My energy got drained at an alarming speed. I could stop myself from panting, but sweat crept up on my face. I couldn't keep this up for long. Luana formed something like a rain shield with her green daggers, shielding herself from the shredder hail that I unintentionally made. Pariah was suffering from it as well, but couldn't protect himself. Now what. Stop my protection or accidently kill Pariah with hail? It was Notrada that warned me. "Danny stop your attack. It's more dangerous than you think. You're not only affecting things inside the dome!" I glanced through my barrier and almost bit my tongue. No, no, no. This couldn't be happening? Why was everything covered in snow and hail?

Notrada talked to me again. "Danny, stop using the cold from you're core. The human world is not able to support it. The plants and trees are frozen so badly that I can pulverize a tree by tapping them. I evacuated everyone away from this barrier of yours. Humans would immediately die if they got close right now." Immediately die… Her words spooked around in my head. I could've killed Sam. I could have killed my family without knowing. My hands trembled from her words or was it from the strain of using this technique? Why did I suddenly have enough power to kill humans. I mean, I fought them, humiliated some but I couldn't kill a human right? Pariah snapped me out of it. "Little brother do it now! She has no way of killing you at the moment!" I hesitated. I had to stop this cold because of the danger for humans, but it would free Luana. I bit my lip and answered Notrada. "Is the prototype ready for use? I'll try to freeze her now." Notrada kept silent and sighed. "It's ready. I'll manage it."

I raised my other hand and concentrated on freezing Luana. She went into a frenzy. She hacked and slashed against the rotating icicles. Her green blood started to flow, but she didn't stop. I froze her from the feet up, towards her knees. She kept hacking and slashing the ice shards, destroying the first layer. I never felt so frightened except for my meeting with Alcafoar. She was scary as hell, especially while wielding a knife coming for my life. Pariah couldn't even get close to us to help me. My power started the stagnate. Luana smashed the second layer with much more ease. I saw the dark blue layer creeping up to her hips. Her strength started to fade a bit, but she was still ramming my last layer of icicles like a ferocious beast. I saw them cracking under the pressure. My heart was beating in my troth. Please freeze before you can kill me. Luana's smile became even more scary as she cracked a few icicles. I felt a knife stabbing at my arm and tried to push my power out from my core. I was now wheezing and panting like Pariah. Luana's movements became sluggish. I was closing in on her heart.

I suddenly heart a loud voice in my ears. "Now Danny!" I dropped the barrier and the ice dome. Only my thin shield of broken shards remained to protect me from the knife that was still trying to take my life. Until she started to struggle. Her frozen legs started to fracture. Luana screamed in pain. "I'll pay you back for this boy! You and Alcafoar will suffer!" She intended to flee, but she was pulled in by the prototype. She grabbed at thin air, trying to escape the suction of the prototype. She cursed one more time. "I'll come for you Pariah and that rotten son of yours. Momentum will come for you!" After that she disappeared into the fenton thermos prototype. I let the shards fall down on the ground and followed them. My breathing was heavy. I felt like I could cry. My whole body trembled. I covered my face with my hands and tried to breathe. My heart was still racing. It was Notrada that pulled me in her arms and started to ease my mood. Her arms felt warm against my skin. My heart calmed down a bit. She barely said anything but it helped. "Danny it's over. It's okay now. She's gone and locked up for a long time."

I heard heavy footsteps coming my way. A large hand covered my hair. "It was your first fight with your life on the line. You did extremely well little brother, but remember that it won't be your last fight. Rest well. I'll personally deliver my sister back to my father. Thank you for your help." He grabbed the thermos and flew off. Notrada started talking to me again. "Slowly enclose your cores coldness. Otherwise your family and other humans can't get close. You're still freezing everything around you." I tried to follow her advice, but noticed that my core didn't like her idea that much. It even resisted a few times. It took me quite some time before the layers of warmth in my body returned. Notrada smiled. "Yes, that's better. Let's call Maddy and the others shall we?
