Chapter 57: Amity at War Pt. 2

It took minutes, but Danny was finally released in time. Thankfully, he did not see Bonnie on his way out. This is fortunate, since it means he can tell Kim.

Reaching the downstairs lobby, he saw Kim and Ron standing and watching the television that was set near the ceiling. He walked up to them.

"Guys… you're not gonna belie-"

Kim held a hand up before pointing at television. Danny looked.

It was a news report outside Axion Labs, with a certain reporter with his microphone onscreen.

"Axion Labs has been attacked by dragons. Yes, dragons!" Lance Thunder said. "First ghosts, now more dragons. If you recall, weeks ago the city was attacked by one. Now it seems more are causing widespread destruction. So we urge you… at home… RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" Land dropped his microphone and ran. "I QUIT!"

"You know…" Ron spoke up. "My dad visited Amity Park for a few days once. Says this guy quit onscreen for like 3 times a day that whole week…"

Danny shrugged. "I guess they just pay him well enough…" Danny then shook his head. "But we have another problem…" Before looking around to make sure nobody could hear him. "Bonnie knows!" He whispered harshly.

Kim gasped. Rufus, who was on Ron's shoulder, also gasped. Ron was just clueless.

"About what?" All of them just give him a "REALLY?!" look before realization hit him. "Oh, you mean that you're Danny-"

Kim put her hand on Ron's mouth.

"Ron!" She whispered harshly. "Secret identity, remember?! You made a big deal when you were the Fearless Ferret!"

"Isn't that a fictional character?" Danny asked.

"Long story…" Kim said as she lowered her hand from Ron's mouth. "We better go. We can deal with Bonnie later…"

All of them nod before leaving as fast as they could.

Barkin, who walked out with a coffee, noticed the three were leaving.

"Something smells very bad… and I still need to find that ghost kid." He thought as he sipped. "Since Possible and Stoppable seem to know him, I should follow."

He decided to follow.

Meanwhile, Bonnie just saw the three left, huffing.

"Great, Danny's not around… I guess I can go to the mall while I wait for him." She shrugged. "I can figure out what we'll do there."

Thanks to his powers, Danny was able to fly the two with him to Axion Labs. However, one of them wasn't very ecstatic.

"AAAHHHH!" Ron screamed as he was swinging while holding onto Danny's hand, while Kim rolled her eyes while holding onto his other hand. "DOWN! PUT ME DOWN!"

"Ron…" Kim said flatly and kind of annoyed. "Danny's powers affect gravity for us. We're fine… as long as you don't let go…"

"THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME FEEL BETTER, KP!"

Danny rolled his eyes as well as Kim. Rufus, meanwhile, was on Danny's head and embracing the rush of air.

"We're almost there…" Danny said.

They arrive atop Axion Labs. With his powers, Danny got them inside through the roof and land in a room above where the beastly intruders are.

"Okay… we gotta find what those scaly creeps are here for." Kim said.

"I know why!" Ron spoke up. "They're here for the new games!"

Both Danny and Kim stared at him in disbelief.

"New… games?"

"Yeah!" Ron said, before noticing the awkward silence and realized something. "This isn't Axion Games… isn't it?"

"No… it's not." Danny said. "It's a lab owned by my archenemy to develop cutting edge tech in his plot to take over the world."

"Oh…" Ron said. "Then never mind…"

"So…" Danny spoke up, wanting to change the subject. "What's the game plan?"

"We should get whoever is still in here and get them out…" Kim suggested.

"Didn't they say it was one guy named Damon?" Ron asked, remembering the news report.

"Wait… Damon Gray?" Danny asked.

"Yeah… why?" Kim asked.

"He's the father of a friend of mine." Danny said. "We gotta find him…"

"And we will." Kim assured. "Since these guys want the two of us, maybe we can be the ones to distract them." Kim looked to her sidekick. "Ron, you get Mr. Gray out while we handle this."

Ron held up the okay sign. "No problem, KP."

Meanwhile, Barkin took a cab when he saw the two were in the direction of the Terakons.

"Here we are." Barkin said once the cab stopped.

He looked to the lab, which had a few people and police surrounding it.

I need to get in there…

He started scratching his chin in thought.

"Maybe… there's another way in."

As the trio were going down one hallway, Ron stopped.

"Oh, I need to use the bathroom!" Ron said.

Both of them groaned.

"Dude… seriously?" Danny asked.

"Hey! I had plenty to drink in that hospital! Excuse me!"

Ron ran to the nearby bathroom in the hallway.

As Danny and Kim were shaking their heads at Ron's antics, Danny's phone suddenly started ringing.

"Huh?" Danny questioned as he didn't recognize the number. He answered though. "Hello?"

"Hi, Danny... finished with those dragons yet?" A flirtatious but snobby, and also familiar voice asked.

"Bonnie?! How the heck did you get this number?" Danny said in annoyance and Kim glared when he said her name.

"Hmm... I don't think that's any tone to speak to your new GIRLFRIEND, now is it?" Bonnie said in an annoyed tone.

Danny groaned. He mouthed "HELP ME" to Kim.

"Put her on speaker phone...I need to hear this..." Kim whispered to Danny, who did just that.

"As for how I got your number... I saw Kim put her phone down and just looked for it when she took her loser friend with her to get something to drink while waiting for you."

Kim looked angered to hear that.

"Yeah, that's not super creepy at all, now is it?" Danny asked sarcastically.

"There is that tone again..." Bonnie said in a testy voice.

Danny rolled his eyes.

"Sorry..." Danny said sarcastically. "Now why is it that you called? I sort of have something important that i have to do..." He said impatiently.

"Well… we need to talk later on how we're going to make this work. Anyway, I gotta do some shopping to pass the time. Bye!"

She hung up.

Kim groaned. "That Bonnie! She's such a… Bonnie!"

As they both looked displeased by this, Ron walked out of the bathroom, clueless to what happened.

"What'd I miss?" He had a look of shock on his face. "Whoops, almost forgot!"

He ran back in and the sound of a faucet went off, to the surprise of the two.

At the mall, Bonnie was going through a few stores, scoffing at them.

"I don't see a single Club Banana here…" She said to herself.

"Hey Beautiful, what's your name?" Someone asked in a flirtatious voice.

Bonnie turned around and, to her surprise, it's a jock.

"Bonnie, Bonnie Rockwaller..." The brunette said as she eyed the jock with interest.

He is tall, good looking and a jock, just like Brick.

"Dash… Dash Baxter. Star quarterback of Casper High…" He said with that same tone. "Wanna grab a bite tonight?"

Bonnie smirked.

Hmmm... He is awfully cute. Sure, Danny is special but still, it's not like he is OFFICIALLY my boyfriend yet. Besides, it's not good for a girl like me to go too long without a boyfriend... Bonnie considered in her head. Besides, maybe seeing me around this guy might make him jealous if I need a Plan B.

She liked the idea of Danny seeing her with a new guy, getting jealous and trying to work to get her interest on him again.

Dash saw someone and grinned maliciously.

"Hey, loser!"

Dash ran up to Nathan, a fellow student at Casper High. He then pulled trash from a nearby trash can and started pelting the boy with it, earning laughs from other teens who were passing by. Dash himself laughed in a very obnoxious way.

"Ugh..." Bonnie muttered in disgust. "No way… even I have standards…" She said as she turned around.

Dash saw this and looked annoyed that he stopped harassing Nathan.

"Hey, where are you going?!" He questioned as she was walking away.

"What does it look like?! I'm leaving..." Bonnie said.

"But what about our date?" Dash said.

"Geez, are you slow? Don't you get it, I'm not going on a date with a loser like you..." Bonnie said and those who heard her gasped.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!" Dash shouted in outrage.

"Are you deaf on top of being stupid?! I said that I said that I am not going out with you and before you ask, here is why... You are rude, obnoxious, and only losers think throwing trash at others is fun..." Bonnie said, referring to what she just saw him do, not that she'd admit it. "Besides, my ex-boyfriend is a lot like you, but he's not a jerk and he's actually dumb in the sweet sort of way..." Bonnie said before walking away with her nose held high.

Dash was left behind to deal with the fact that he has just been dumped.

"Here!"

Damon Gray pressed a button on his tablet, causing the large screen to show a map of the Earth with red dots in various areas.

Slashfang, who returned with Trescorn and Skyscreech, observed.

"So, this is what the world looks like now, eh?" He observed. "What are those red dots?"

"Indicating scientists who have developed the kind of technology you're looking for." Damon said, shivering in fear.

"And where are we on this map?"

Damon pressed another button. A blue dot appeared in the area of Amity Park.

"This blue dot? That's us."

The other Terakons observe.

"It appears there is only one red dot within close distance to us." Skyscreech pointed to Montana.

"What the coordinates of this location?" Trescorn questioned with his arms crossed.

"That's Montana…" Damon started speaking. "The distance from here would be-"

"Names are unwanted." Trescorn said with a fist out and ready for crushing, and his nostrils flare with rage.

Damon shook with fear before he spoke. "46.8797 North. 110.3646 West." He said.

"Excellent…" Slashfang said. "Now… is there any type of this technology we will require?"

"Well… most of this might be a bit too much for you, considering you claim to be millions of years before human civilization." Damon said.

Slashfang laughed it off. "We aren't as savage as you may think… Now… explain to me how your language works, namely your alphabet…"

Damon rose a brow. "You want me to teach you the alphabet?" He would have laughed, but Slashfang bore his claws. Damon put on a terrified smile. "Let's start with the letter A!"

After a few minutes, the trio were about to turn a corner after coming up with a game plan, when someone stood in their way.

"Possible! Stoppable!" Barkin saw Danny and glared more. "Phantom!"

"Mr. B?!" Ron questioned. "How'd you get past the cops outside?!"

Flashback.

Barkin saw the crowds of people and cops and pondered an idea. He smiled and pointed away from the direction of the labs.

"A ghost!"

His shouting made all of them look in that direction and actively went after the ghost with cellphones and the police readied their nightsticks. With them gone, Barkin just ran to the lab, which had a large hole on the side due to the large reptiles that attacked.

Flashback Over

"Let's just say it was some quick thinking…" Barkin pointed at Danny. "As for you…"

"Dude! I did not cause an infestation of roaches or whatever you think is crawling around your school!" Danny snapped.

Kim sighed.

"Mr. Barkin?"

"Not now, Possible!"

A loud roar that caught their attention.

"What was that?!" Ron asked as he and Rufus cowered.

"Our scaly friends…" Kim said, getting ready for battle.

"Come on!"

Danny used intangibility to fly past Barkin while Kim and Ron followed by foot.

"Get back here!" Barkin barked.

They bursted through two doors, leading to the room where Damon was with the Terakons.

"You three!" Barkin shouted as he caught up with them. "I'm not done wi- OH MY GOODNESS!"

The three were staring at them, all were glaring.

Meanwhile, Damon was shivering in fear.

"Uh… hi! We just finished learning about the letter Z and I think they were about to claw me to death when you got here…"

"Not for long!" Kim shouted as she ran towards him.

Trescorn tried to flatten her with his fist, but she jumped out of the way and rolled a bit before resuming her run. Skysceech swung his tail, but she hoped over it. Once she got to Damon, she grabbed him around the chest and fired her grapple gun, zipping over before Slashfang could claw them.

Once he was with the rest, Damon's legs were about to give out.

"My life… flash before my eyes…"

"Ron." Kim handed Damon to him. "Get him out of here…"

"On it, KP!"

As Ron took the terrified Damon with him, Barkin remained.

"Mr. Barkin, you should-"

"NOT UNTIL PHANTOM ANSWERS FOR THE INFESTATION!" Barkin snapped.

"DUDE! I DID NOT-"

A roar caught their attention.

"Not the time!" Kim said as she saw what was coming toward them.

Due to his powers and her prowess, Danny and Kim got out of the way.

Barkin, lacking both, was grabbed by Trescorn.

"AAAAHHHH! PREHISTORIC MONSTER! I SURRENDER!"

"Loud ape… you die!"

Before the Triceratop-like dragon could slam Barkin into the ground, Danny fired a chunk of ice from his hand into the giant beast's eye, hurting it and making it let go of Barkin.

Barkin screams as he falls, but is caught by Danny in the air.

"I gotcha!" Danny said.

Kim, meanwhile, saw the map on the monitor and gasped.

"Montana?" She has family there, and did not like the implication. "Why is there a dot on Montana?"

"The human says a scientist there could assist us, and if my newly acquired knowledge on the English language is correct, the name on his little glass object said "Slim Possible"…" Slashfang said. "I'm Slashfang, by the way…"

Kim, to his surprise, was able to perform a high jump and kick him in the nose, actually hurting him.

"That's my uncle, you creep!" She said as she landed gracefully.

Slashfang shook his head to get rid of the feeling of her kick, then snarled at her.

Meanwhile, seeing Danny in the air, Skyscreech shot out a sonic blast from his mouth, hitting the ghost boy.

Danny ended up crashing to the floo, unconscious, and letting go of Barkin.

Mr. Barkin got up and was actually worried. He might have had a bone to pick with the ghost kid but he didn't ask for this.

"He looks hurt..." Mr. Barkin said as he was about to check on him. "Casualty of war!" Then something unbelievable happened. Two white rings appeared and soon Danny Fenton was in the the place of the ghost kid. Steven Barkin saw the entire thing. "WHAT IN THE WORLD?! THAT FENTON KID?!"

Kim turned around and gasped. "Uh oh…"

"Be more concerned your own fate, than you ally's, female!" Slashfang shouted as he swung out at Kim, who jumped out of the way.

Barkin tried to stir Danny awake.

"Fenton! Wake up!"

Danny did so.

"Ugh… what?"

"Possible needs you! Change in that ghost kid again!"

"Right!" Danny got up and was mid-morph when he realize what just happened. "Uh… wait, what?!"

"NO TIME, SOLDIER! YOUR COMRADE NEEDS YOU!" Barkin ordered.

Danny quickly finished his morph and flew to aid Kim.

Slashfang was too late to react at Danny kicks him in the head, knocking him out.

Reluctantly and with an annoyed grunt, Trescorn helped him up.

"We have the location of what we need… Can we go now?" He asked his still conscious ally.

"Yes, let's go!" Skyscreech said.

With a small breath, Skyscreech made a loud sound that distracted everyone still there long enough for them to get out.

Kim, shaking her head, ran after them through the large hole they created with their entrance. Only to see what looked like a portal was closing, and the large beasts gone.

"Okay… I'm going to assume that's how they escaped." Kim said to herself.

When she got back, she got a good look at the room. The Terakons were gone and the lab is in a wreck.

"Where are the prehistoric Larry, Moe and Curly?" Danny asked as he lowered his hands.

"I think a portal opened… and they went through." Kim said with a confused shrug.

"Darn it, they got away..." Danny said in frustration.

"Don't worry, I think I know where they might strike next..." Kim said with a worried tone. "The scientist they're-"

However, before she could say anything else, Ron got their attention.

"Guys!" He ran back in. "Damon's outside and-" He saw someone next to them

"Stoppable…" Barkin said with a glare and arm cross. "I'm gonna assume you and Possible haven't done your homework… Instead, hanging out with your half-ghost friend."

Ron gulped.

"Uh... KP... Danny... I think we have another problem..." Ron said nervously.

Steve Barkin, looked to Danny, his eyes widen and he looked flabbergasted.

"I just don't believe it... you're the ghost kid?!" Mr. Barkin exclaimed.

Danny looked nervous. "Not so loud, people could hear you when they realize those Jurassic Jerks are gone!" He shouted.

"Mr. Barkin... please... we can explain..." Kim said.

"Then please do..." Mr. Barkin ordered. Danny groaned as he knew he had no choice now.

"Okay...look...it's like this..."

"Well?" Thirorex questioned with his arms crossed. "I better hear you either have what I need… or it's back to being worn out bones…"

Slashfang, reawakened, laughed nervously.

"I know what ape could make it for us… I even know the global coordinates for where to find him…"

Thirorex had a somewhat nasty look that made the rest of their kind look nervous before he scoffed.

"Well… it's something…" He lowered his arms and turned away. "We only had enough energy to return you. We must wait until tomorrow."

With that, he flew off, returning to his throne room.

Slashfang sighed in relief.

Once Danny finished his explanation, Mr. Barkin looked like he was having a migrain.

"Ghosts... hybrids... ancient dragons... why does it feel like I suddenly wound up in a Saturday morning cartoon?" Mr. Barkin said as he gripped his head, feeling a migrain coming along.

"Mr. Barkin... please... Danny's powers are a secret... No one can know about them... If word of this gets out, every ghost hunter in the country will be after him..." Kim said in worry and Ron nodded.

"Mr. Barkin… Please...we're begging you..." Danny said, desperate at this point.

Mr. Barkin saw this and sighed, feeling all sorts of guilt now for his attitude towards the kid.

"Very well Fenton... you did save my life and a Barkin always repays a debt… I'll keep your powers a secret..." Mr. Barkin said.

Danny looked relieved. "You mean it?"

"A Barkin always keeps their word..."Mr. Barkin said.

"Thank you..." Danny said, feeling grateful.

It made Mr. Barkin crack a smile a bit but only for a brief second.

"Now that that's been settled, maybe now you can tell me why you caused that infestation at Middleton?"

Danny looked exasperated.

"FOR THE HUNDREDTH TIME! IT WASN'T ME!"

"We… kind of have a certain government organization who wants us to deal with these things who wanted us to be here in Amity Park for a while… so they may have… caused an infestation…" Kim admitted with very guilty look on her face.

Barkin groaned. "I should have known…"

Outside FentonWorks, Danny had to bring in a few guests to the house. Once he opened the door, they entered with him. His mother got up and smiled when she recognized one of them.

"Kim!" She greeted with a smile. "And… Kim's friend!" She forgot Ron's name, much to his irritation. He then saw Barkin, who she did not recognize. "And… who are you?"

"Steve Barkin, Mrs. Fenton, vice principal of Middleton High." He answered with respect. "My car was kind of destroyed when Kim Possible and that Danny Phantom were involved in a battle with those dragon monsters."

Maddie rose a brow.

"Dragon monsters? Plural? Like, more like that black one from some time ago?"

Kim nodded.

"In any case…" Barkin made a notable glare at Kim and Ron. "I'm sure my car repairs will be compensated…"

Kim earlier got in touch with Global Justice, who agreed to pay off his car repairs for his silence. Meantime, he's going to need a place to stay.

"Where will you stay?" Maddie asked.

Then, to their surprise, Jack Fenton came in and wrapped her arm around his wife.

"Well, we're currently taking tenants!"

"We are?" Maddie asked.

Jack whispered into her ear.

"Remember last night, where we missed that ghost and shot a two foot hole in a billboard?"

Maddie's eyes widened.

"Ah… yes! We can rent you a room for the next few days." She said.

"Grateful, Mrs. Fenton." Barkin said with a smile as his eyes darted to Kim and Ron. "Besides, I have to make sure two of my students do their homework…"

Both of them smiled innocently.

Meanwhile, Danny received a text, one by someone he really doesn't want to see right now.

Danny couldn't believe that he was over at some nice hotel in downtown Amity Park, where Bonnie was using her sisters' stolen credit card as payback to stay. Granted, he was here against his will, but his new "girlfriend" insisted that they needed to talk about their new "relationship".

"Hi there, baby..." Bonnie said as she wrapped her arms around him once he phased into her room through the door.

"Let's just get this over with, what is it that you wanted to talk about?" Danny asked in a hostile tone.

Bonnie frowned. "The tough guy routine is cute to a point Danny but you better learn to watch that tone of yours. The reason you are here, besides the obvious... is that I need to make sure you understand the rules to our new relationship. I know that you're a superhero and you and Kim have to "save the world" and whatever..." Bonnie said with air quotes.

"What's with the air quotes? We actually do save the day...it's not like we watch TV or something..." Danny said.

Bonnie rolled her eyes. 'Whatever...look...I get that you guys are have to get those dragon things but outside of that, I don't want you near Possible..." Bonnie said.

Danny glared at that. "You can't be serious..."

"Yes, I am… You're my boyfriend now, not Kim's...so you better remember that..." Bonnie said in a serious, threatening tone, while Danny just glared at that. "Well, now that those dragon freaks are dealt with, I do believe we have business to attend to... such as dinner and a movie." Bonnie said.

"I repeat, you can't be serious..." Danny said.

"Hmm... I don't know Fenton... or it it Phantom? Am I serious?" Bonnie said with an edgy tone.

"You should know the Terakons are still out there." Danny pointed out.

Bonnie rolled his eyes. "Fine, deal with them. After that, you're picking me up at six for the movie and afterwards we're having dinner..."

"This isn't how a real relationship works Bonnie, you know that..." Danny said.

Bonnie still had that look on her face, though it soften for a brief moment. "You left me with no choice with that attitude of yours but I know that after of while, after seeing what it's like to date me, you will fall for me..." Bonnie said confidently but Danny just glared at that.

"If we are done here, I have to get home, I'm not sure about you but I still have a curfew." Danny said.

"Ugh, fine... but before you go, I do believe a kiss goodnight is due..." Bonnie said and Danny rolled his eyes.

"Fine…"

Danny closed his eyes and moved his head closer.

Bonnie, impatient, grabbed his head and pulled him in, kissing him for 5 seconds before letting go.

"Well… goodnight, boyfriend…" Bonnie said with a smirk.

With that, Danny phased out of the building and groaned.

"It's like with Kitty, but worse…" Danny muttered.

It took a while, but Danny finally arrived. Kim was shown waiting for him on his rooftop. He landed.

"Where's Ron?"

"He's crashing on your couch since Barkin has the room next to you." She responded. "How'd it go?"

Danny groaned. "At this rate, Bonnie is going to expect a wedding ring by the time we're all out of high school… anyway, any word on the dragons?"

"Afraid not. Tomorrow, when you finish school, all of us are going to Montana. From there, we're going to get to my uncle since he's likely the scientist they're going to go after."

Danny nodded.

"We'll keep him safe."

"I hope so…" Kim looked at the night sky. "Whatever they're planning, it can't be good. The fact that another one of those things we didn't see in Vlad's lab is walking around suggests they're more of them. And if there's more, that means one other thing… we might be at war..." Kim said in serious tone.

It's been a long time and I like to thank flower princess11 for the help.

It looks like war is coming. Now, Kim's uncle is in danger.

In case you're wondering where is Vlad, I'm saving him for later.

Danny and Kim are going to need to deal with Bonnie later.

Let's find out what happens next time...
