Chapter LII: Prelude to Gigantomachy
Stephanie
When I got home I got on my computer, "I never promised what I wouldn't reveal," I said laughing as I began my smear campaign.
"Oh Stephanie," I heard my father say.
"Yes father," I answered as I walked down to his office where he was waiting for me.
"I have wonderful news, the Dalv people heard about Ms. Phantom's disappearance and have agreed to help and I thought this would be the perfect chance for you to get first hand leadership experience," he says happily.
"What are you talking about?" I ask him curiously.
"You're going to help Mr. Masters look for Danny, if you are going to be mayor you must take the reins of such situations," he says Mr. Masters comes in the room.
"You have nothing to worry about Theophilus, I will take good care of Stephanie," he says smiling.
"I know you will," he says slapping Mr. Masters on the back and shaking his hand, "With your help, we'll find our hero," he says as Vlad smiles at him.
"Yes, well we should be on our way, come along Stephanie," he says as I sigh and follow him out the door.
Danny
"Do you think it was wise telling that kid your secret Billy, I mean he is the purple princess' brother," Amorpho says worriedly as he changes into Stephanie.
"I know, but it's better this way, he heard the truth from me than hear some wild rumor at school," I said as Edgar came in the room. "Something wrong," I ask him.
"I just took these pictures from the Edgar-Scope," he said as he handed me a photo of Vlad and Stephanie.
"My least two favorite in the same area," I said groaning at the thought of this Infernal alliance; I could see the clouds start to gather outside as my mood changed.
"We think it might have to do with this PhantomWatch the mayor has," he explains.
"You're probably right but we better keep an eye on this," I tell him wanting to be cautious about this whole event but easing up causing the sun to come out again.
"Will do," Edgar said as he left to monitor the situation.
Mayor Knightly
"I finished handing out the flyers, sir," Bob said as staggered back into my office and fell on the floor.
"Bob, stop being selfish, Danni Phantom needs us," I tell him upset by his laziness. "Has miles come back yet," I ask him curiously.
"I believe so sir, I think…," he stutters before I stop him.
"I know where his room his," I said as I walked to the stairs and went to his room. "Miles," I said as I walked in and saw a young girl laying on his bed, "Great Jellybeans," I gasped, "Bob get over here at once," I order my intern as he comes up the steps.
"Yes…oh my," he says seeing the girl as well.
"Who is she Bob?" I ask him curiously.
"I think that might be his friend Danielle," he whispers to me, "what shall we do," he asks curiously.
"You're going to the kitchen and whip something for the poor dear to eat while I go back to heading PhantomWatch," I tell him as he heads downstairs to fulfill my order.
Clockwork
"Enjoying your stay Clockwork," Lilith says as she walks back into the room, "Oh I forgot you're gagged, silly me," she laughed. She had gagged me earlier so I would unable to utter anymore scripture at her.
She walked over to me and cupped my chin in my hands, I tried not to look into her eyes but I was far too weak.
"Clockwork," she whispered to me as her eyes drilled into my soul. I can see why Adam fell for her and why parents would protect their sons from her. She was evil but sometimes the Devil plays the most beautiful music and once we hear it our fortitude melts away.
While she staring at me one of her demons came barging into the room, "My infernal lady," he said kneeling as she turned to face him.
"What is it," she snapped as she walked away from me and glared at her subject intensely.
"We have intruders in our realm," he said terrified of his mistress.
"How could they have gotten so far," she hissed as her wings flapped violently.
"Your orders my lady," he asked trying be brave.
"Release Typhon and Sthenno," she growled as he left her, "Soon time master, your friends will join you," she said laughing as she sat down on her throne and laughed causing me to shudder.
Stephanie
"I think we should report our progress to my father," I tell Mr. Masters as we sit down and take out my smart phone. I was going to report but to father, I had other plans.
"Brilliant idea, I'll go get us something to drink, you must thirsty after such a long walk," he says as he leaves, giving me the chance to enact my plan.
I dialed my friend Cassidy's number, "Hello Cassidy, this is Stephanie I have important information regarding Danni Phantom," I said as I told her what to do but as I was giving her instructions my phone was shot out of my hand. "Who…," I began to fume before I saw Skulker behind me.
"You didn't think I forgot about you did you," he laughed aiming his gun at me smiling.
"Why do you bother me?" I asked him as I dodged his shot, "Why don't you go back to the freak show," I told him angrily.
"He's busy at the moment, besides he's not as rare as you are," he said as I ran from him and he followed, "THOSE TWINS!" I shouted angry at them and their ghost friends.
Danni
"NO!" I screamed as I woke up in a cold sweat, "Where am I?" I asked fearing that I was in Vlad's lab again. The thought of being his guinea pig made my heart race.
Suddenly, I felt a hand on my chest, I looked up and saw Miles staring at me, "You're okay Danni," he said taking my hand.
"Where am I?" I ask him still upset and nervous, the last thing I remembered was the fight with….oh no.
"You're in my room, that Technus hurt you and I brought you here to recover," he says, Oh Smoof, he probably knows my secret. I raise my eyes at him. "I know your secret and I won't tell anyone, Daniel told me everything," he says defensively.
I was about to say something when Danny flew in, "That's right Danni, he's promised not to tell a soul about this," Danny says smiling.
"Are you sure?" I ask Miles as he nods at me and I get up.
"Where are you going Danielle," Miles asks as I head for the window.
"I'm leaving, you don't want be friends with a freak clone," I tell him with tears in my eyes, I thought for once I was going to be happy but no there will never be happiness for me never.
"Wait Danni, I still care for you no matter what, ghost or clone, I still like you," he tells me as I turn around and smile with tears on my eyes.
"What did you say," I ask him on the verge of crying.
"I care for you no matter what, please don't go," he pleads taking my hand, "There are two people in here who care for you me and Daniel. You think you're alone but you're not," he tells me as I look over to Danny who smiles and nods.
"Thank you miles, I care for you too," I say kissing him on the cheek, "but we're still taking this relationship one step at a time, deal," I tell him.
"Deal," he says as we shake hands.
"I'll think I'll leave the lovebirds alone," Danny says as I glare at as he phases through the wall.
"You're so dead if you try anything Danny, I know where you live," I tell him waving my fist at him laughing. For once in my life I am happy.
