Chapter 70: The Carnival
The humans and ghosts enslaved by the Terakon horde would be grateful to leave that island, especially since the machinery was finished and more of that dark ore called Dark Plasma was uncovered.
So, when all of them were finally off the beasts' island, they were still in leashes, keeping them in close contact. To make things more uncomfortable, they were all inside the building of Drakken's island lair.
All of the ghosts noticed the signs on the island shore and Skulker looked insulted when he turned around.
"There are no ghosts here! How dare you claim this is haunted?!"
Drakken, who was typing, ignored him.
"Aha! I found it!" Drakken shouted as he reached the website.
"What did you find?" Skulker asked.
"The systems for the satellite… now then." Drakken tried to hack but couldn't and he did what he always did when he didn't get what he wanted. Whine. "Oh! It wont open!"
"Let me do this…" Technus said as he entered Drakken's computer.
"No! I wanted to do that! I want to be the one to hack the systems!"
Both Shego and even Skulker rolled their eyes at his whining.
"Seriously, how do you put up with this?" Skulker asked only to notice Shego had put on headphones. He looked annoyed. "Can you even hear me?"
"I'm sorry, what?" Shego asked loudly.
That's when Technus was ejected quickly out of the laptop.
"What happened?!" Drakken questioned out of impatience.
"The firewall's encrypted and their systems saw me as a virus and pushed me out…" Technus said with a hand on his head.
Skulker then marched over to the laptop.
"Let's see if my new systems can handle it…"
He plugged it in.
It took seconds, but nothing was happening. Drakken got impatient.
"What's taking so long?!" Drakken shouted.
"Yell at me again and I will use your pelt to decorate my fireplace..." Skulker threatened, shutting Drakken up for once. Once he finished scanning, he turned to the others. "I can't get in, we need the password..." Skulker said.
"Password?!" Drakken asked.
"It seems whoever was in charge of designing the satellite's systems made sure only one person could have it."
"Oh alright, who do we get who knows this password?" Drakken demanded.
Skulker looked at his scanner and read.
"There is one scientist, we need. Dr. James Timothy Possible."
"Kim Possible's old man?" Shego asked with grin. "Perfect, which means we can just drop by her place and-"
"No go, Shego." Vlad Plasmius said. "I sent a special robot insect to spy on her home and they left days ago."
Shego looked a bit startled to hear that. She asked a question.
"Please tell me you don't spy on anyone in the bathroom…" She asked.
Vlad took offense to that.
"No! I'm evil, not sick!"
"Well, where are they?" Skulker asked. "Her family, I mean."
"It seems they visited a relative in Florida…" Vlad said. "So, if I can reconnect with that insect, I can find out where they are…"
"And hopefully soon…" Drakken said with a notable look of fear. "I really don't want that big black lizard mad at us…"
It was morning. The Possible family, in their van, were driving to Amity Park. They brought the eldest of the family, Nana Possible, with them to see that Kim was alright. She was asleep though.
There was someone else along for the ride, inside a small trailer the van carried.
James went on a walkie-talkie.
"Slim, everything okay in there?"
"Not a problem, Squirt." Slim said in response over the device.
"Well, you and Joss will stretch your legs soon as we get there."
"I don't get why we have to go..." Jim whined.
"Yeah, can't we go home? We wanted to test flight our new drone..." Tim said.
"Now boys, we are going to Amity Park to go check on your sister..." James said to his sons.
"And I told you, no more drones in the house..." Anne reminded.
Her sons pouted.
"Dang…" They both went.
"Now boys, it won't be so upset. It's a new town, you guys might have some fun here..." Anne said.
"Hey yeah, this is where Danny lives." Jim remembered.
"Which means we might find a ghost he clobbers!" Tim said.
"That's the spirit! Uh… no pun intended…" Anne said.
No sooner she said that, they arrived to Amity Park and they saw that the sign with Danny Phantom on it saying "Home of Danny Phantom".
That's when they saw something at the park.
"What in the world?" James asked.
While his sons looked amazed.
"AWESOME!" 'The tweebs shouted.
"Yee-haw!" Joss could be heard from the trailer.
It was now 10 AM and Danny got out of bed. He found it comforting he was able to sleep as Ron, who snored, took the room next to his. As he got up, he got dressed and thought to himself.
"Kim and Ron will likely go home after this. Considering the bad guys got the staff thing, and Drakken mentioned the Reality Gauntlet, we might be in big trouble."
He had informed Kim, Ron and Yori what the Reality Gauntlet is and knew things were going to get extreme. He knew they had to take on the threat soon.
There was also another thing that was on his mind.
He still thought of Kim so fondly. But he feared Ron's presence.
Ron was an old friend and likely had more of an edge if he had any interest in Kim. He doesn't hate Ron, though his lack of help when it comes to hiding a secret identity made that hard.
But still, his feelings for Kim are already strong.
"I gotta find an excuse to be around her, to talk to her…"
That's when the doorbell ra/ng.
After moments, he heard the door open and there was talking.
Downstairs, Danny's parents are meeting Kim's parents.
"So, you're Kim's parents…" Maddie said.
"Welcome, on behalf of me, Jack Fenton!" Jack said proudly.
"It's a pleasure." Anne said.
"I see our daughter's met some nice people here." James said before whispering to his wife. "I heard of these two, you sure this is a good idea?"
Anne elbowed him. "Don't worry…" They smiled to the two. "Where is Kim, anyway?"
"Mr. and Mrs. Fenton?" Kim's voice said from above. She was going down the stairs when she saw who was there and smiled. "No way… Mom and Dad?"
"Kimmie-Cub!" James said happily.
Kim ran down the stairs and gave both her parents a big hug.
"Kimmie." Her mother said. "We came to see how you're doing and wondering if you wanted to come home with us."
"Well… it doesn't look like it's necessary for me to stay for now." Kim said.
Jack whispered to Maddie.
"Good thing, too. That boy and his pet rodent ate all my ice cream…"
"So, where's Danny?" James asked.
Maddie took notice of that wording and was confused.
"You know my son?"
Kim elbows her father, giving her a look that reminded him his parents were unaware of his secret.
"Uh… no. Actually, I heard of your son through the Junior Astronaut Program and was surprised to hear my daughter was staying at his family's home… although he is much too young for my Kimmie." He said sternly.
"Dad!" Kim snapped, blushing in embarrassment as Anne giggled.
"Well, it looks like there's a carnival going on today, we're all going." Anne said.
"We?" Kim asked. "You and the tweebs?"
"And your Nana, Uncle Slim and cousin Joss… they came to see you too." James said with a smile.
"Spankin." Kim said. "I'll get Ron and see if he wants to come. I'll see if Danny and his friends want to come too…"
She was unaware Danny was watching via phasing his head through the ceiling. He smiled.
A carnival? As in people, lots of people? As in Kim and I could be alone? Awesome!
"Explain to me… quickly…"
Thirorex did not look patient at all.
As a result, none of those who aren't a large reptile quaked in fear at his large presence as he literally looked down at them.
"Well…" Plasmius started, trying to seem unafraid. "We need a password… to make it work." Thirorex snarled, making Vlad flinch. "But we know who to get it from!"
"Kim Possible's father!" Drakken said, hoping to calm the situation.
"Really?" Thirorex questioned with an interested look. "You've kept an eye on the girl… will it lead to him?" They nod. "Good… meantime, I will have a reward for the one who responsible for this password."
It was a carnival all right. And it encompassed the whole park.
In the parking lot, the Possibles waited for a certain someone.
That's when Joss saw her and smiled.
"Kim!"
She ran to her oldest cousin and hugged her leg once she and Ron approached.
"Hey Joss…" Kim said before noticing Joss's new top.
It was a Danny Phantom t-shirt, black with his logo on it. She still wore pants like Kim's.
"I saw this while we was hidin' from those reptile varmints and I just had to have it!" She said.
"Oh… uh, cool." Kim said.
"Where is Danny anyway?" She asked.
"He's… getting some family to come along." Kim said. "So, should we go on in?"
Meanwhile, Yori was meditating atop the Fentonworks Ops Center. She was perfectly still, at least until she sensed someone approach her.
"Is there trouble, Phantom-san?"
"How'd you know I was here?"
Danny Phantom was hovering in the air. He couldn't have made a footstop.
Yori opened her eyes and smiled.
"That is what years of martial arts training can do for one." She said.
"So, there's a carnival in town today. I invited my sister and cousin, along with my friends. Do you want to come along?" Yori looked unfazed until the next thing Danny asked. "Ron's going to be there."
She smiled.
"Stoppable-san?" She straightened herself. "I-I suppose it is worth time."
Danny smirked.
Perfect, it looks like she likes him. This might make my plan work…
"Ugh… pink?" Sam said with a disgusted tone. "Why are all these tents mostly pink?"
"Since most carnivals don't attract only Goths." Tucker explained. "So… you know there are Goths that wear pink, right?"
"NO!" Sam denied. "They're not true Goths!"
"Or there's more than one kind…" Tucker muttered.
Sam crossed her arms and looked away.
They entered the carnival just moments ago.
That's when someone saw them and called out over the people walking and talking around them.
"Sam! Tucker!"
Both of them turned to see Jazz, who waved to them.
They turned around and walked towards her, noticing someone with her. Someone smaller and resembling Danny to some extent.
It took them a moment to recognize her, as they only saw her human form once.
"Uh… hi." Danielle awkwardly greeted them.
"Uh… hey." Sam said.
"Hi?" Tucker went.
There was a notable awkwardness that Jazz noticed. She realizes they barely know each other and decided to speak up.
"So, anyone seen Danny yet?" Jazz asked.
Meanwhile, Danny entered with Yori.
"Well, here we are. Ron's around here somewhere with Kim. We better-"
"I shall go along." Yori said with a smile. "Perhaps I shall find something of amusement, like the mole whacking game."
Instantly, using her ninja stealth and movement, hopped atop tents and stands and began her search for Ron and fun.
Danny smirked.
"Wow… she's more into him than I thought."
"Danny?"
The voice of Kim's father caught his attention. He saw the source of the voice, as well as Kim's mother, grandmother, uncle and cousin, who approached him and hugged him.
"Hey there, superhero!"
Danny panicked and shushed her.
"Secret identity, remember?"
"Oops…" Joss stepped back and covered her mouth.
He looked around and sighed in relief.
"Nobody heard…" He then noticed Joss's shirt and smirked. "Nice…"
"Thanks." She said before whispering with a smile. "You and my cousin a thing yet?"
Danny blushed and stoop up.
"So…" He looked to the rest of her family, noticing the brothers were absent. "Where are the twins?"
That's when they looked around, noticing Jim and Tim were missing.
Anne sighed in exasperation. "We're getting lawsuits for property damage for this…"
"You're not worried they'll get hurt?" Danny asked.
"We are…" James said. "Though I doubt anyone would come near the boys as soon as they get their hands on some tech."
"How are you, by the way?" Nana asked in a friendly tone.
"I'm… good." He responded.
"Danny!"
The voice of his sister went as he looked to see her, with Danielle, Sam and Tucker approaching.
"Hey." Once they made it, he decided introductions. "So… Possible family… my sister Jazz, cousin Danielle, and best friends Sam and Tucker."
Jazz smiled when she saw Kim's mother.
"Anne Possible? I've read about you! My research paper on you got me an A+!"
"Aww… thank you." Anne said.
Danny continued. "Guys, Kim's mom and dad, uncle Slim, her Nana and-"
"I'm Joss!" Joss said proudly. "Kim's cousin!"
"Right…" Danny said with a smile. Seeing enough distance from any eavesdroppers, he added something in. "They all know my secret."
Sam scowled at that.
"Of course they do…"
"I hope Kim wasn't a hassle for you and your family." James said to Danny and Jazz.
"Don't worry… she's welcomed at our house."
Jazz sent a wink at Danny while Danielle giggled. Danny played dumb and looked away.
"Uh... so, you let Kim spend a week by herself in another city?" Sam asked, feeling somewhat jealous.
After all, her parents would never WILLINGLY let her do something like this, but it seems Kim's folks don't seem to bother.
"Well, it's not like Kimmie was alone. After all, her teacher was here and she did do her homework, besides, she was trying to save the day..." Anne said, like it is no big deal, much to the surprise of the teenagers.
"Wow…" Tucker said.
"Well, at least Kimmy is off fighting dragon monsters instead of being out with a boy..." Mr. Dr. Possible said with arms crossed.
Tucker, Sam and Jazz heard this and raised a brow.
"Is he joking?" Sam questioned.
"Somehow, I don't think so..." Jazz whispered back.
"Where is Kim, anyway?" Anne asked.
"She and Ron are probably somewhere here." Danny explained. "I was looking for them…"
"While you're looking for them, let them know the boys are off and to keep an eye out…" Jame said. "Or… keep an ear out for the screams."
"Got it." Danny said.
Sam was turning red with rage when Jazz had an idea.
"So… Danielle and I are going to… do some bonding together." She said with a wink to her cousin, who got the idea. "Let's go…"
Both of them walked away, smiling mischievously at Danny, who didn't see it.
"So…" He looked to Sam and Tucker. "You guys wanna help me find her?"
Tucker grinned, looking excited.
"Yeah!"
"Ahem…"
James gave a fake cough to get Tucker's attention, and give the boy a disapproving look that made Tucker cower.
"Uh… actually…" He took Sam's hand. "We saw a ride we want to take."
"What? Tucker, I-"
She's too late as Tucker pulls her away.
Danny is clueless, but carries on finding Kim.
Moments later, the tweebs are behind an ice cream vending machine and opened the back, doing some tinkering.
"So… think it'll work?" Jim asked.
"It should." Tim said. "We'll make it give us the best stuff, maybe find some weird lovey-dovey thing Dany can share with Kim."
"That's a good idea."
Both of them gasped and saw who said that.
Seeing them is Jazz, Danny's sister, and Danielle, his clone posing as a cousin. Both of them smiled. Jazz finished her question and it was Danielle's turn.
"Can you help us find them?" Danielle said.
Both twins pondered.
"On one hand, helping someone be with our sister is a waste of time." Tim said.
"On the other hand, he's a cool superhero who saved our lives once…" Jim said.
They both smile.
"We're in!"
"Me too!"
All of them were surprised to see a fifth person with them.
"Joss?" Her cousins asked.
"Y'all ship 'em too, right?" She asked with a smile. All of them nod quickly. "I wanna help too! I ship DanKim!"
"Okay then." Jazz said. That's when she noticed with Joss said. "Uh… DanKim?"
"Well, Kanny sounded too… lame." Joss said.
"Well, we should have a better name than just putting their names together." Danielle said.
"How about Dim?" Jazz suggested, only for everyone to send her a look and she realizes why. "Now that I said it outloud, I hear it too…" She said in embarrassment.
"How about Fensible?" Jim suggested.
"Or Possiton?" Tim suggested.
"KimDan, since she's older?" Danielle asked.
"Shouldn't we go looking for them?" Joss asked.
The others remember that and realize she's right.
"Uh… oh, right!" Jazz went.
As Danny walked around, he finally found her. In her long-sleeved blue with dark jeans.
"Kim!"
She couldn't hear him over people talking. Then he saw someone else.
Danny saw Ron being so close to Kim. He crossed his arms, trying to control his jealousy.
"They are just friends...but...but what if..."
Danny paused before he noticed Yori.
She was playing a game of ring toss.
He knew that Ron obviously has a thing for her and the cute ninja girl actually seems fond of him.
If they got together, he no longer had to worry about Ron stealing Kim from him, but Ron seems to be clueless when it comes to girls, even with one who clearly likes him.
He needs a little push.
Now how... wait… that's it! Danny thought as he saw something that might do the trick. The tunnel of love. If I get Yori and Ron on that thing, it might work... Danny thought mischievously, before he paused. Wait...isn't this too underhanded?
He liked Kim, a lot. But Ron had every right to like whoever he wanted to.
"Danny!"
Danny straightened when he heard Kim calling to him.
He snapped out of his thoughts.
He saw Kim waving to him with a friendly smile, with Ron and Yori doing the same. She approached them while Danny was lost in his thoughts.
He smiled back and approached.
"Hey, guys…" He said before looking to Kim. "Your folks say to keep an eye out for your brothers causing trouble."
Kim rolled her eyes.
"There's something I don't miss about home…" She said.
"So…" Ron spoke up. "Wanna see how many corndogs I can eat?!" He challenged.
"Yeah!" Rufus says.
"No…" Kim says flatly.
"I bet I could eat more than 30!" Ron said.
Danny scoffed.
"No way…"
"It's true!" Ron insisted.
Danny's jealousy was replaced with amusement.
"Oh yeah? I'll bet 20 dollars you can't…"
"You're on!" Ron went.
5 minutes later, Ron was on the ground, groaning in pain as he clutched his stomach. He burped.
Kim hid her face in her hands out of shame, Yori looked sympathetic while Danny is outright impressed.
"Wow… I underestimated you…" Danny said with a nod.
"Told you!" Ron said as he belched. "Ooh…"
"Stoppable-san, are you alright?" Yori asked.
"He ate like 40 corndogs, of course he's not alright." Kim told her.
"40? No… 48." Ron said proudly despite his condition.
Rufus waved a napkin in his face to fan him.
"You need to see a nurse…" Kim said.
"I shall assist." Yori said. She helped Ron up. "We will locate someone to treat him…" She said as she had his arm around her shoulders. "Come."
As she carried Ron, with Rufus riding atop his sick friend, that left Danny with Kim. Once he realizes this, he blushed.
Then Kim took him by the wrist.
"It's actually a good thing Ron's at the nurse, because I need to speak with you alone…" She said.
"Really?" He asked.
"Yeah, come with me."
She said as she pulled him with her.
Danny took notice they were heading to the tunnel of love.
A smile came to Danny's face.
Are we… is she…
His grin grew. He thought it looked like they were going to board the tunnel of love and possible be romantic. He saw them reaching the back of the line.
This is it… THIS IS IT!
Then they passed the line. His grin goes away.
Wait… are we… not…
"It involves our big friends…" Kim said as she looked back, unaware he thought they were to do something else.
"Oh…" He said.
"Now…" Kim stopped and looked around. "Where to go…"
That's when she felt her right foot go off the ground, causing her to lose her balance and almost fall before being able to buckle her knees.
"Whoa, Kim!" Danny said as he helped her up. "You okay?"
"Yeah…" Kim said. "I…" That's when she saw it and smiled. "Found it."
Danny looked to where she was staring.
It was the Ferris wheel.
He noticed there weren't that many people in line and it was two people per carriage.
So… we'll be alone? He thought with both fear and excitement.
He then noticed Kim motioning to follow her.
"Come on…"
As she walked to the ride, he followed.
He was unaware a certain girl with power just turned visible and watched them go.
"Phase 1… accomplished." She said with a smile.
Inside the wheel's cabin, sitting opposite of each other, both of them looked towards each other.
I'm in here… alone… with Kim! He thought. That's when he decided to speak up.
"So… what did you want to talk about?" He asked with a bit of hope.
"I'm gonna be leaving for home today." Kim said.
As the ferris wheel started moving, Danny's smile quickly became fake.
"Oh…"
"Yeah… infestation can't be faked that long…" She said. "But no worries. Global Justice has an eye out for that island. And they're watching over your house, so if anything happens, we'll get together."
"Oh… sure." Danny said, slightly upset he's not going to see Kim anymore. "If you need me… I'll be there."
Kim smirked.
"I'm sure, even after this whole mess is taken care of, we'll have plenty of team ups…"
Suddenly, the ferris wheel stopped just at its highest point.
"Huh?" Danny asked as he looked out the window.
"What's the sitch?" Kim asked as she realized that it was no longer moving. "Why'd we stop?"
"I don't know…" Danny said. He looked out the window and looked down. "Weird, there weren't that many people…"
That's when he saw a few people approaching the ferris wheel. They were carrying tool boxes.
Kim looked down and saw it too. Then she saw something else that made her annoyed.
"I think I know what caused this…" She pointed out in a direction. "Look."
Danny noticed that the tweebs had just walked away from the ferris wheel and they had a gizmo in their hand.
"Uh... what am I looking at, exactly?" Danny asked.
"My brothers are being a pain... that thing in their hand is their latest flop that just ends up frying the wiring on any device it connects to... and I know that this is no accident..." Kim said.
Danny realized what she means and he saw that the tweebs were now talking to three people they knew.
"I didn't put them up to this... I am just as surprised as you are..." Danny said.
"Weird…" Kim said. "Since when do they all know each other so well?"
Although he liked being alone with her, he knew this was kind of a bad way of doing it.
"You want me to fly you down?" Danny offered.
Kim thought about, before she shook her head.
"Nah, it seems like too much trouble. And at least there is a nice view..."
Danny blushed for a moment, but he smiled back at her.
Outside, all five of these shippers were applauding. Jazz, as the de facto leader, nodded.
"Joss, good job finding the ferris wheel. Danielle, good job getting them see where it is."
"I didn't need to overshadow Kim or anything." Danielle said.
"And you two, I can't believe I'm saying this but still, congrats on making that thing break down."
"It was easy." Jim said as Tim held up the device.
"Took us 5 minutes to get this ready!" Tim added proudly.
"How long ya reckon it'll take to fix it?" Joss asked while pointing to the mechanics fixing the wheel's machinery.
"Probably a while…" Jazz said as she smiled that the two haven't left.
Because they had to wait, both Danny and Kim still sat across from each other.
And now, here they were, out of important information involving their mission and with nothing else to say.
"So..." Danny started, before pausing, unsure what to say.
"So..." Kim repeated but stopped, for the same reasons.
"I was wondering-"
"Do you think-"
They both spoke and stopped at the same time. They felt a little awkward...
A lot actually.
"Uh… I was… thinking…" Danny spoke up.
"Yeah?" Kim asked.
Danny's face suddenly turned very red.
"So… maybe… if… when we're done… we could… do something?" He asked.
"Just us or everyone?" Kim asked with amused smile.
"… either or… I guess…" He said.
Kim chuckled.
"You'd think you'd do a better job of asking me out by now." She said, earning a smile from Danny. "Maybe you and I can do something together. Ever been to Hawaii? I have some friends there you'd like."
Danny blinked just when he heard that.
Hawaii? As in… the beach? As in… I get to see Kim in a bathing suit?!
As that thought entered his mind, he nodded fast.
"Sure thing."
Kim smirked.
"You were thinking of me in a swimsuit, weren't you?"
Danny turned an even deeper shade of red.
"No! No I wasn't!"
Kim laughed it off.
He's at least more fun to talk about stuff like this than Ron…
Outside, with binoculars, Jazz was watching.
She soon saw that Danny was beginning to laugh along with Kim and smiled.
"Looks like it's working…"
"Really? Lemme see!" Danielle insisted.
"I wanna take a look!" Joss insisted as well.
Jazz pulled the binoculars down and looked to the smaller kids.
"You're all too short to work from this angle."
All of the kids groaned, and that's when someone approached them.
"Jazz?" Tucker asked. "Are you babysitting?" He pointed to the kids.
Jazz drew a blank.
"Uh… we're… looking for…"
"We're hitchin' my cousin Kim with Danny." Joss answered.
"Shh!" All of them went towards her.
Tucker rose a brow before gasping and smiled at his supposed realization.
"So that's why she doesn't look at me like that!"
"Uh… no…" Jazz said. "There's like a million other reasons why…"
Tucker scowled in response.
"So… what's going on now?"
"We stuck them at the top of the ferris wheel…" Jim pointed up.
"They'll be there a while." Tim added.
Jazz noticed someone missing. "So… where's Sam?"
Tucker laughed nervously.
"I had to avoid her before she causes more property damage…"
"Why would she break other people's stuff?" Joss asked.
"Long story…" Both Jazz and Tucker answered her.
"Well… I better make sure she doesn't find out…" Tucker said as he turned away. "See ya…"
Back in the ride, the two were still awkwardly silent with each other.
"So Kim… what should we do while they're still fixing the thing?"
"Not sure…" Kim said. "Maybe-"
Suddenly the wheel began moving again, but very suddenly as it caused the two to hunch over. It stopped.
"What was that?!" Danny asked as he rose his head.
"They're probably still fixing it." Kim rose her head. "I guess-"
That's when the two noticed how close their faces were and turned red.
Now they were staring into each other's eyes, unable to say or do anything as they froze.
Eventually, Danny spoke.
"So… uh…"
Kim spoke up too.
"Looks like-"
The wheel moved again.
The sudden movement pushed Kim and Danny close.
Their lips touched.
At first they were both surprised, but then melted into it.
They were unaware a certain ghost girl, out of curiosity and impatience, phased her head through and saw this.
She stuck her head out and was super giddy. She flew back to the group and, once she got cover to change back, joined them.
"It worked! Your re-wired gizmo making the wheel move suddenly to get them closer actually worked!" She said.
Joss was holding the same device the brothers used. It was rewired to make Ferris Wheel move slightly.
"They was kissin'?" Joss asked.
Danielle nodded and the rest of them considered it a good job.
Back inside, the two were still kissing for a moment before finally pulling back.
As Kim had a small smile, Danny was completely red in the face.
She chuckled.
He's… pretty cute.
Danny blinked for a moment before a smile finally came to his face.
"I see you're finally reacting…" Kim said.
"Heh… yeah…" Danny said nervously with a smile.
I should say something.
"Say, Kim?"
"Yeah?"
Before he could say a world, a wisp came out of his mouth.
They both knew what this meant.
"Uh oh…" He went.
That's when they heard something hit the roof of the ferris wheel. Something that sounded bipedal by the footsteps.
"Danny? Please tell me you guys have giant ghost pigeons who are super harmless…"
"Afraid not…"
"Find him!" They heard Skulker shout from above.
That's when they both saw Ember flying past them and noticed the crowds on the ground running away from the sight of two certain villains.
Danny and Kim got serious.
"Okay… now get us down!"
Nodding, Danny knelt to avoid being spotted as he morphed. Now as Danny Phantom, he took Kim by the wrist and phased himself and Kim out.
The Possible family, normally not in the middle of such a scenario, were a bit surprised. The four eldest just stood there, watching in confusion at the crowds running away.
"What is all this? James asked.
"Ghosts!" One person was heard screaming.
"Ah yes, this is Danny's town." Anne remembered. "They deal with this all the time…"
"Still, ghosts?" Slim questioned. "Couldn't they pick a better, less creepy way of referring to 'em?"
That's when one certain ghost made his presence known to them when he landed.
Raising his arm to scan the four, he saw the picture of James Timothy Possible and recognized him.
"Ah, James Possible! You are coming with me!" Skulker demanded.
"In the words of my daughter, as if!" James said.
"And in the words of Ron, as if if!" Anne said harshly.
James sent a rather disapproving look.
"I don't think Ronald is the right person to emulate in this scenario, dear."
"You may have a point…" Anne admitted sheepishly.
Before Skulker could do anything, someone flew in and tackled into him.
"I got this!" Danny shouted.
"Ah, Daniel. I see you've made it." James said rather casually.
However, Skulker wasn't the only one who came to cause trouble.
Shego and Ember quickly revealed themselves, both readying to do harm if needed.
"Alright, Pops. Give us what we need!" Ember demanded.
"I will do no such thing, young lady!" James said with his arms crossed, unafraid.
"Better listen to her!" Shego demanded.
However, someone swung in and kicked her. It was Kim, who got back in her mission gear fast.
"Get away from my dad!" Kim demanded.
Ember saw this and grinned.
"Finally, a little payback!"
Ember ran to Kim and tried to club her with her guitar. However, Kim quickly dodged it with a backflip.
That's when Ron and Yori finally arrived to see what was going on. Both of them saw Ember's attack.
"Ron-san? Is this a foe?" Yori asked.
"Yeah!" Ron said, his eyes still on Kim and Ember.
Yori nodded and readied for battle.
"Then I shall assist!"
Yori then flipped her way into battle. She landed between Kim and Ember.
"Who are you?!" Ember questioned at the Japanese girl.
"A friend of their's, evil spirit!" Yori said with her hand out in a "come at me" motion.
Ember scoffed. "Too easy!" She swung her guitar.
However, Yori then did a slicing motion.
To Ember's utter shock, her guitar was sliced in half. That's when she saw what was in Yori's hand.
It's a tessen war fan.
"Do not underestimate a student of the Yamanouchi School!"
"Whatever…" Ember said as he used the half of the guitar she still had in her hands as a melee weapon. "Come get some!"
As Kim observed this, she heard someone yelling as she was running towards her.
It was Shego, and Kim readied herself for more.
Meanwhile, Danny punched Skulker to the ground.
"What do you want with Kim's dad, Skulker?!"
"Our best shot at getting away from those monsters…" Skulker answered him as he got up. "Now stand aside, so that I will be free to hunt you another day!"
"Ha! No…" Danny answered flatly.
"Then you shall-"
Skulker is cut off as Dani Phantom flew in from behind and kicked him in the back of the head, causing him to hit the ground face first.
"Got him!" She said.
"And I've got you!"
To their surprise, Monkey Fist came jumping in, kicking Danny down.
"Back off!" Dani demanded.
However, Monkey Fist avoided her punch and easily backhanded the hovering girl into the knocked down boy.
Skulker got up and saw this. However, he turned his head and saw a few people looking.
One of was Danny's sister, the others he didn't recognize. At least at first.
He recognized two from a photo of James Possible and had an idea.
Danny used intangibility to avoid a sweep from Monkey Fist's leg. Then, Dani took advantage and stomped on Monkey Fist's only leg he stood on.
"OW!"
Monkey Fist stopped the fight and held onto the injured foot.
"Nice!" Danny said to Dani.
"Thanks!" She said happily.
As the elder Possibles watched, they just now noticed someone aiming a blaster at them.
"James Possible! You have a password to a certain satellite!" Drakken demanded.
Danny saw who it was and smirked.
"Oh no, it's Doctor Doofus." He said sarcastically as he fired a blast from his finger, destroying the blaster.
Drakken whined in reaction as he dropped what was left of his weapon to the ground.
"My teenage daughter and her friends aren't afraid of you, so why should I be, Drew?" James said with a smug look.
Drakken started throwing a tantrum, much to his amusement.
"Ah! I said to never call me that again!" Drakken shouted as he began to whine.
'I cannot believe that I have to work with this guy..."Skulker muttered, having gotten annoyed with Drakken a long time ago.
"Just give me the password now or else!..."Drakken demaded.
'Forget it Drew... nothing you say will make me do so.."James said.
To his surprise, the mad scientist grinned maliciously.
"We shall see about that, James...'Drakken said before turning to Skulker.
"Show them...'Drakken ordered.
Skulker then revealed something that made everyone, especially the Possibles. panic.
"Jim?! Tim?!" Anne shouted horrified.
"Boys?!" James shouted in horror.
"Talk now, old friend!" Drakken demanded with sarcasm on that last part.
As Jim and Tim were hung in the air by Skulker, James let out a breath in defeat.
"Fine… I'll give you the password."
"Do we have your word you won't double cross us?" Drakken questioned.
"Yes. No tricks. I give you my word…" James said in defeat. "Kimberly, Daniel, stand down…"
Reluctantly, both of them backed down. With a nod, Dani did the same, though she hated doing so.
Drakken nodded at Skulker, causing him to descend slowly.
"Now… the password!"
James let out a sigh.
"Everything is possible for a Possible. No spaces, the first letter of both the first and last words are capitals…"
Drakken looked a but dumbfounded.
"Seriously? Your family motto is your password?"
"I ran out of creative ideas, okay?!" James snapped in annoyance. "Now give me my sons back!"
Drakken nodded to Skulker. In response, he roughly tossed the boys to their mothers.
"OOF!" They went as they hit the ground.
"BOYS!" Anne shouted as she helped them up.
"That's what I like about humans. Their loved ones make it so easy to blackmail them." Skulker said with a grin.
That's when he's hit by someone in the head, knocking said off his shoulders thanks to a certain cheerleader.
"Stay away from my brothers!" Kim demanded.
"We got what we came for! Let's go!" Drakken ordered.
Hearing that, Ember flew off while Shego and Monkey Fist went with Drakken back to the hovercraft.
Skulker's body was aimlessly looking for his head, much to said head's annoyance.
"I'm over here!" The body turned around and knelt to try reaching for him. "This is what I get for upgrading the suit to have audio receptors at a low price…" He grumbled. It finally got a hold of him and flew away. "THIS ISN'T OVER!" Skulker was heard shouting.
Once they were gone, everyone's attention was directed to Jim and Tim.
"Are you boys alright?!" Anne asked her sons. Both of them silently nodded as she hugged them both. "Thank goodness you're both okay…"
As this went on, Kim approached her panicked father.
"Dad, what did they want the password to?" She asked, notably worried.
"Danny!"
Danny heard both Sam and Tucker and looked to his left and saw them approach.
"What just happened?" Sam asked.
"The bad guys, I guess they're still The Faction, wanted a password to something. What was it, Mr. Doc P?" Danny asked.
"It's a satellite." James said.
At this moment, Jazz and Joss, who were also in hiding, joined everyone else.
"What's so special about a satellite, Uncle James?" Joss asked.
"Because with it, they'll hack into any system on the planet." James explained. "It was designed to interfere with broadcast signals and transmissions of all kind in case of world wide emergency."
"Including television?" Ron asked.
"If you mean their broadcasts, yes." James said. "Even cable…"
Ron got to thinking. "And next week is the season premiere of the Z-Boy animated series…" He gasped in horror. "Do you know what this means?! They can cancel all our favorite cartoons, and cause massive panic!"
At that moment, everyone, even Rufus, gave Ron a rather disappointed look for thinking that.
Danny rolled his eyes to Kim.
She saw his reaction on his face was "Seriously?"
She shrugged with a small smile.
Ron was genuinely confused "...What?"
"Let me get this straight." Danny spoke up. "Our worst enemies have brought intelligent psychotic dragons back from the dead, who are now keeping said enemies as prisoners. And are working to obtain some powerful rock that'll give them the power to ether enslave the human race, or bring our extinction. Now our main bad guys who caused all this have the password to a satellite that'll give them access to any network or broadcast in the world. And you think their main goal is to use it to cancel cartoons shows?"
Ron then gives an insulted look.
"You know when you say it like that, it makes my theory sound kinda stupid."
"THAT'S BECAUSE IT IS STUPID!" Sam shouted.
"Haven't seen you made a deduction like this in a while…" Kim said with her arms crossed. Then she directed her attention to her father. "So… what now, Dad?"
"With that password, the only way left is to go to the satellite itself and reprogram it to prevent any and all hacking of transmissions." He answered.
"By… go to the satellite… you mean-" Danny was asking.
"We need to do it… manually!" James said.
Meanwhile, atop FentonWorks.
"Continue, mammal!" One of a few Nyklaw who were keeping watch on Freakshow ordered.
Freakshow, who held up the Staff of Restoration, grumbled. It's been glowing for a long time, but nothing has happened.
I've been doing this for an hour. The Gauntlet and the Gems should be restored by now…
"This thing is ancient!" He argued. "It may take time before-"
That's when the gem in the staff finally stopped glowing.
Then, right in front of them all, green glowing dust formed in front of them. It took the shape of a Gauntlet.
Chapter 70!
I'm gonna try and make it Chapter 75. I think that's where things start to go crazy.
Special thanks to Flower Princess11 and qazse for helping me out.
Looks like next time our heroes have to go... IN SPACE!
Also, those were genuine attempts at shipping names. I saw one called KimDan on DeviantArt. I suggested Fensible.
Any ideas?
qazse: Perhaps.
Luiz4200: Definitely.
Jebest4781: We might find out later.
Guest: That so? I just decided to make Bonnie into Danny for laughs, now a lot of people, myself included ,like it.
MeteorElDrago: That was something suggested for Danny and Kim. Maybe at some point in the planned trilogy.
Leonardo: Well, Shego would have to wait for Danny to turn 18. Glad you like it./
