Middle of the Desert: Center Training Base, Evening…
Dani was currently sitting at the desk in her room doing some of her assigned work. Despite what most, including her thought, The Center's training was not like WOOHP's. If you wanted to be an agent, it was going to take a bit longer than 48 hours.
Not that it made Danny, Clover, Sam, or Alex any less of an agent than someone from The Center. Despite how many accidents Martin caused, he's still a fine agent with credentials on par with theirs.
Dani had heard rumors that The Center and WOOHP were starting to put together an all-inclusive training regimen for each agency. Taking what works and doesn't work to get the most effective training possible.
Dani sighed as she leaned back in her chair. "If only that training regimen were actually done before I came here, then I could likely be done quicker and get home to my family sooner."
"Trainees, report to the combat hall within the half hour." A voice stated over the loudspeaker. "We begin your combat training today."
At least training wasn't boring. Since Paranormal Investigators could be called in at any time and work late into the night, their classes happened at any time the instructors decreed. Even the time allowed to get to class was rather interchangeable.
"I'll give it this." Dani leaned further back and looked at the speaker. "They sure know how to make things interesting around here."
Dani let her seat fall and rolled with it before hoping to her feet. She then picked the seat up and made her way out of the room. Once out there, she bumped into Jonny and Kitty who had apparently needed to wait as M.O.M collected a proper group.
Most of the time, agents were trained when they were trained, but every so often M.O.M would find groups of promising candidates, put them together at the training compound, and have them learn together.
"Well, if it isn't Squirt." Jonny crossed his arms. "Tell me, you think you can hang with the big dogs?"
They started to walk towards class together.
"I can hang better than a ghost whose powers have been handicapped." Dani retorted before smirking. "So far, our results speak for themselves. Especially since you need Kitty to get the grades you do."
"Whoa, I may need her help with the books, but I still put in the work." Jonny stated. "Even without my powers, combat is where I excel. Even with my powers reduced, I still got what matters."
"So, you wouldn't mind facing me?" Dani challenged.
"Bring it on Squirt." Jonny replied.
The two of them stared at each other intensely before bursting out in laugher.
"You're definitely the kid's little sister." Jonny shook his head. "If you can talk toe to toe with me, you can probably hold your own in combat."
"Thanks Jonny." Dani nodded. "I've seen you training around the compound. You might just stand a chance against me."
"What's this might stuff?" Jonny asked. "I'll take you down no prob."
Kitty just rolled her eyes as she put a hand on each of their shoulder. "I swear, if you two didn't have me, you'd walk right by class." She pushed them into the main hall. "In other words, we're here."
Ghost Zone: Clock Work's Tower
Clockwork had expanded his viewing screens to include enough to keep surveillance of multiple, moving pieces. Given the frankly bizarre interaction his powers have been having with his future sight, he had to keep better track of things in the present.
He watched as Dani, Jonny, and Kitty sat in combat class learning some of the basic moves. He saw Ember still touring with those boys. Danny was walking to school, and he was glad to see the halfa in much higher spirits.
Vlad was back home having yet to awaken his created son. That was probably for the best as the man had much to change within himself. Hopefully, his clash with Danny would see the right time. Of course, there were countless, other things he was keeping track of.
"Everything's the way it's supposed to be." Clockwork took a deep breathe. "My death draws closer with each passing day. Even after death, my guidance can't end. If that means my soul must be trapped within the Unworld for years to come, so be it."
Clockwork tapped his staff on the ground causing several glowing balls, of varying sizes, to come from his body. Small portals to the future appeared allowing each orb to enter before closing.
Earth: Millions of Years into the Future, Day…
The earth was nothing but a barren wasteland with blowing sand. In mere years, it would reach its natural conclusion. For now, it was home to a Fenton Thermos which contained the most powerful enemy Danny ever fought. Dan Phantom.
A mirror appeared and the figure within started to thrash about. "Whoever you are, let me out of here!"
"You will be free in due time Dan Phantom." Fun House stepped out. "My master's ally has decreed that I give you the beginning of great power to do as such." He pulled a cage containing Jonny 13's Shadow out of his mirror. "We also have big plans for you."
"I do not listen to the plans of others." Dan retorted.
"We thought you might say that, so allow me to give you a taste of what still drives you." Fun House stated. "Power."
Fun House picked up the thermos and held it up to the cage. Shadow didn't know what was in that their, but he could feel its malevolence. He growled in warning while backing up as much as the anti-ghost metal would allow.
"That's 13's Shadow." Dan stated. "He's not around. In fact, the distance between them is immense. Yes, this will do nicely." Shadow glowed with a noticeable green and pink outline which caused the ghost to screech in pain as it faded. "A new ability."
"One of many a ghost like you could earn." Fun House held the thermos up. "We have a special need for you, so we'll grant you all the power you could ever want. Power enough that a mere thermos couldn't hold you. What's more, we can guarantee Clockwork's death."
Dan was silent for a few minutes before speaking up. "What do you need?"
The merged ghost would use Fun House, and this master's ally, for all that they were worth. Amass power beyond what he's just gained. Once he used them for everything they had, he'd kill them, kill Danny since they were no longer tied, and finally see the end of both worlds.
Fenton Residence: Danny's Room, Night…
Danny was currently pacing back and forth going over what he intended to say to Sam. These days he felt much better. Sure, there were still nightmares and times he felt sad, but his life had turned around. Now, it was time to try with Sam.
That said, Danny had no idea how to ask someone, he liked, out. Sure, he asked Paulina out countless times, but that was just a schoolboy's crush. This was asking someone he genuinely liked to go on a date with him. Even though he knew she liked him, it wasn't easy.
"Hey Sam, I was wondering if maybe you wanted to do something this weakened." Danny quickly waved his hands. "Not in a hangout, but an actually date." He face palmed. "Real great. Perfect."
He continued pacing. "Sam, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind going out on a date with me this weakened." Danny rolled his eyes. "I'm sure she'll love that considering I've made her wait all this time. Just the perfect way to ask her out."
"I think you may be overthinking this." Jerry stated from the doorway.
Danny jumped and spun to face his uncle. "Uncle Jerry, I was just…" He sighed when he noticed the look in the man's eyes. "You've been standing there the entire time, haven't you?"
"Just about." Jerry walked into the room. "You do know Samantha likes you, right?"
Danny sighed. "I know uncle, but I've made her wait so long that I don't want to screw anything up. She's put up with me this entire time, so I want to get this right."
"Danny, no one can blame you for how long it's taken you to get to this point. I'm certain Samantha doesn't." Jerry stated. "Just approach her as the guy you are. That's the person she's developed feelings for."
Danny thought about it for a few seconds before nodding. "Thank you, Uncle Jerry."
"Anytime." Jerry put an arm around his grandnephew. "Now, how about we order take out and catch up properly? What with all the missions and late nights, we haven't had much of a chance to talk lately."
They walked out of the room and Danny smiled. "That sounds like a great idea."
Beverly Hills High: Next Day, Morning…
Danny had brought Sam to that same tree where he first opened to her about the incident and later spoke to her about his misgivings concerning that pageant. This just seemed like the place to ask his question.
"Okay, we're finally out here Danny, so are you going to tell me what this is about?" Sam questioned.
Danny took a deep breath. "Sam, you're understanding, smart, beautiful, and so much more. Honestly, I'm not sure what you've seen in me all this time…"
"Danny." Sam interrupted him thinking this was just another instance where he needed reassurance. "You're something else. You're funny, noble, brave, strong, and so much more as well. I like you for you, so don't doubt that, okay?"
"I'm glad you see that in me Sam." Danny blushed. "While I appreciate it, that's not exactly where I was going. I know I've made you wait a long time, but honestly, I don't think I could have been the date you were looking. Now, I'm confident I can be."
Sam was shocked. "Danny."
"Sam, I was hoping we could turn our hang outs into dates." Danny rubbed the back of his head. "Starting with this weekend if that's okay with you?"
Sam couldn't believe what she was hearing. She had hoped Danny would be comfortable enough to think of their hang outs as dates for a while now. To finally hear it was surreal. Beyond that, she was concerned.
"Danny, you know how I've felt about this for a long time; however, are you sure you're not rushing things?" She put a hand on his shoulder. "I don't want you to do anything you're not comfortable with or ready for."
"I've known that for a while now." Danny stated. "Trust me when I say, I'm ready." He looked at the red head with a smile. "I'll ask again. Sam, will you go out with me this weakened?"
"I never thought you'd ask." Sam hugged Danny. "I'd love to go out with you."
Danny decided to hug her back. "You know, if we don't tell Clover about this, she'll be a nightmare to deal with in the future."
Sam giggled as they pulled apart. "You're right."
"I actually have some things to take care of today, and class is no place to talk about it." Danny stated. "How about I meet you girls out front after school? We can go to the mall, and tell them there."
"With any luck, something else will draw Clover's attention." Sam nodded. "I like it."
"So, I guess this is good-bye for now." Danny stated.
"Yeah, see you later." Sam stated.
Danny awkwardly hung around for about a minute before walking backwards. "Guess I'll be going now."
He eventually turned around.
"I never thought I'd see Danny acting flustered like that." Sam smiled. "It's rather cute."
Mall, After School…
The spies walked into the mall together and started walking around.
"I can't believe we're at the mall." Alex stated. "It feels like forever since we last came here."
"By forever, you mean about 2 days, right?" Danny asked with an amused smile.
"That's what she said Danny." Clover nodded. "It's totally been to long since we've been here."
Danny rolled his eyes before looking at Sam. "Well, since we're here now, you want to tell them, or should I?"
Clover stopped and whirled around hopefully. "Tell us what Sammy?"
Alex turned around to face them as well.
"Girls, Danny's asked me out on a date this weekend." Sam happily stated.
"Finally!" Clover smiled. "Now, I can stop waiting for it to happen and get access to all the details."
Alex smiled as well. "Aw, I'm happy for you two. You'll make a great couple."
"Thanks for that girls and rest assured I won't be like that evil boy friend you've told me about." Danny nodded. "I have no plans to get in the way of your friendship, and if you need space for, tell me. I know how important friends can be."
"Don't be ridiculous Danny." Clover rolled her eyes. "While we're going to want the occasional girl's night, you're our friend to. The problem with that lousy guy was that he only wanted Sam while cutting us out. Granted, it was all for some evil plot, but my point stands."
"Yeah Danny, you've already proven yourself a friend to Clover and I." Alex stated. "If we didn't include you on as many activities as we could, we'd miss hanging out with you eventually."
Danny gave a small smile at that. "Thank you, you two."
The group had got on the escalator to the next floor.
"With that out of the way, let's just enjoy our time here." Sam stated.
They had reached the top and continued walking.
"You're right Sammy." Clover noticed something in the distance. "No way! Chic Boutique is hiring part time!"
"Every girl who's worked there has gone onto become a super model." Alex added.
"I know." Clover stated. "Our destiny as fashion icons awaits us."
"Uh, are you sure the two of you have time for something like this?" Danny stated.
Sam added. "Yeah, we kind of have a job, remember?"
Alex popped back over. "For Chic Boutique, you make time."
She then dragged Danny and Sam over to the store.
Chic Boutique
Inside there were so many black clothes. Danny didn't have a problem with that considering his hazmat suit was mostly black, but would it kill them to add a splash of color? Anyways, they approached a woman in black.
"Hi, we're here for the part time jobs." Clover stated.
"Here are your Chic Boutique handbooks." The woman stated as she gave Clover a stack of books. "I suggest you study them for your interviews."
"Interviews?" Alex asked.
"Books?" Clover questioned. "Couldn't you just give us the job. We're like your best customers."
"Yeah right." The woman pointed to a whole group of girls. "You and every other girl in Beverly Hills."
"Looks like you girls have some competition." Sam stated.
Danny shrugged. "Best of luck to you two."
Airplane
The spies had left the store and started walking only for Jerry to WOOHP them into a plane. Somehow, they were beamed in which caused them to feel rather cold. Well, the girls felt cold, but Danny felt rather fine with the ice on him.
"Peculiar?" Danny thought. "Do all ghost just have such a resistance to the cold?"
"Is it just me or does how we get WOOHPed sometimes defy the laws of physics?" Sam asked.
"Forgot to mention the laws of etiquette." Clover added.
"Time to focus spies." Jerry stated. "We are currently on our way to London to capture a group of criminals who have stolen the world's largest supply of diamonds. Now for your gadgets. We have helmets with infrared capability, titanium drill heel boots, and laser lipstick.
Not to mention, a new gadget WOOHP Lab's just invented called anti-gravity propulsion rings," Jerry spun the girls on the sofa instantly changing them into their cat suits and granting them, plus Danny, a helmet. "Good luck spies." He snapped his fingers. "WOOHP is counting on you."
London
The group were ejected out the top as the spies activated their parachutes and Danny transformed into his ghost half. As they moved towards the ground, the spies noticed the diamond heist taking place.
"Diamond heist at 9 o'clock." Sam stated. "Danny, we're falling…"
Suddenly, the group were bypassed by three guys on rocket powered hang gliders.
"Who was that?" Alex asked.
"I don't know, but their heading for the diamond thief's truck." Sam stated.
The group watched as one of the hang gliders opened fire on the truck before nailing it and making it crash.
"Did you see that?" Sam asked.
"Yeah, and that news crew caught the whole thing on video." Alex stated.
The group landed on a roof.
"What they did put those men inside at risk." Danny stated. "I know they're bad guys, but there were other things they could have done to apprehend the suspects. Shooting it should have been a last resort. Especially considering the potential risk to civilians."
The group slid down a ladder and listened in as the news crew interviewed some woman in a tan cat suit with brown hair.
"We're standing just outside of London where an incredible, new crime fighting organization has just caught heavily armed diamond smugglers. Let's go to their spokesperson, Geraldine Husk."
The camera turned to the woman in tan. "Good afternoon everyone. We are Super Protection International or S.P.I for short. What you just witnessed is the future of crime fighting." The crowd ate it up. "If you'll excuse us, we must get these criminals into our holding facility."
"I wonder if Jerry knows about S.P.I?" Sam questioned. "Maybe we should give him a call."
Jerry walked up behind them. "I'm already here."
"Jerry!" All four of them exclaimed before falling over.
"I noticed something amiss, so I landed the plane." Jerry stated. "As for the existence of S.P.I, I'm as surprised as the rest of you."
S.P.I started walking by with their captives, and said agents caught Clover's eyes. "Those agents are like so cute." She leaned against a building waiting as a cameraman and Geraldine walked by before stopping the guys. "Hi, I'm Clover and I'm a spy to. Maybe we could…"
One of the convicts spoke up. "Out of my way."
Something about this rubbed Danny the wrong way.
"Excuse us." Geraldine stated as she returned.
"So, uhm I'll talk to you later then." Clover tried.
Geraldine put her hand on Clover's shoulder, so Danny moved grabbing her wrist before she could shove his friend.
Geraldine looked at him. "He's fast."
"I don't believe it's proper for crime fighters to attack their fellow crime fighters." Danny released the wrist. "While I have your attention, why don't you satiate some of my questions Ms. Husk."
"Sorry, but we don't have time to talk to any more reporters." Husk stated. "Why don't you take your friend there away and give us a clear path to get these criminals the justice they deserve."
The other convict spoke up. "Yeah, get out of here."
"Odd how these men seem so willing to be imprisoned." Danny raised an eyebrow. "Willing enough that they seem bent on helping you get them there. Tell me, why did one of those camera men follow you off the site of the incident without his reporter?"
"I do not need to answer to a petulant child." Geraldine stated. "I will ask you one more time to step aside."
"Alright Geraldine, we'll step aside." Danny held his hands up. "That said, I have my eyes on you and your organization."
Danny led Clover back to their group.
Geraldine scoffed. "I'll keep that in mind." She then sneered at the entire group before addressing her spies. "Let's move out."
As they walked by, Sam noticed a certain tattoo on one of the smuggler's arms. "Did you guys notice that creepy tattoo?"
"I don't think we did Sam." Alex looked at their boss. "So, what do we do now Jerry?"
"It looks like we are no longer needed here." Jerry shrugged. "I guess we should all go home."
"Uncle, mind doing me a favor in this off time?" Danny asked.
"Sure Danny." Jerry stated. "What is it?"
"I want you to use WOOHP's systems to dig up all the information you can on Geraldine and S.P.I." Danny stated. "Don't leave any stone unturned."
"Alright Danny." Jerry nodded. "I promise I will look into Geraldine."
Beverly Hills Mall: Juice Shop, Later…
The spies sat at a table with Clover and Alex going over their hand books from Chic Boutique while Sam and Danny watched a news report recounting S.P.I's success in stopping the diamond smugglers.
Sam closed her compact. "This is to weird. S.P.I was virtually unknown until today, and now they're all over the news."
"This is starting to remind me of how Walker turned Amity Park against me, but I don't think there's a ghostly influence too this." Danny stated. "I just think Ms. Husk is using the power of the media to her advantage, and I don't like it."
"Well, I personally think we should be glad that another organization, almost as good as WOOHP and super cute, is around to pick up the slack."
Alex smiled. "Yeah, having S.P.I around gives us more time which I need if I'm ever going to memorize these handbooks."
At that moment, Danny's wallet phone went off. "Sorry to interrupt spies, but we have an emergency. We've just received an advanced tip that a weapons plant in Los Alamos, New Mexico is about to be infiltrated."
Alex shrugged. "So much for more free time."
The seats instantly lowered taking the spies with them before being replaced by new seats.
Los Alamos Weapon's Plant: Midnight…
The spies made an abrupt landing before coming to.
"Look, it's S.P.I and Geraldine's giving another press conference." Alex pointed out.
Danny instantly floated up and watched the end of the conference as one of the criminals leaned back to clearly speak into a mic. "We would have gotten away with it if not for the incredible abilities of S.P.I"
"Since when did this all turn into some cheesy spy novel?" Danny thought as he floated down to the girls. "I swear, something about this rubs me the wrong way."
He then watched with the girls as the spies and Geraldine led their group away.
Sam noticed something again. "Did you see that?"
Alex looked back at her. "Yeah, if I looked that hairy in a dress, I'd probably turn to a life of crime to."
"I think she was referring to the tattoo Alex." Danny stated. "I saw it this time."
Sam nodded. "It looks exactly like the one I say on the diamond thief."
Clover was about to try greeting those guys again, so Danny held her in place with a firm hand on her shoulder.
"Sam, you're the smartest of us." Danny stated. "By tomorrow, they'll have images and voice clips out there for everyone to see. Run comparisons before school and send it to Jerry to further his search into S.P.I."
"Good idea Danny." Sam nodded. "For now, we should get out of here since there isn't much more we can do here."
Beverly Hills High, Morning…
The group were walking into the cafeteria.
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm so glad to be back at school." Clover stated. "This whole S.P.I thing is weirding me out."
They entered the room only to see S.P.I merch everywhere.
"It just got weirder." Alex stated.
"Alright, it's official." Sam stated. "The whole world is insane."
Danny moved the girls back towards the hall, and once outside the room, he spoke. "S.P.I can have all the fame it wants, but not if they are shady about it. We need to contact Jerry and get that information to determine our next course of action."
Before anyone could reply, the floor beneath them opened up WOOHPing the spies away.
Jerry's Office
The spies landed on a couch before Jerry's desk. "Good, you four have arrived, so now we can get down to business."
"What business Jerry?" Alex asked.
"The business of stopping Geraldine before WOOHP's put out of business." Jerry stated.
"WOOHP's going out of business!?" Clover asked shocked.
"Not if we have anything to say about it." Jerry stated. "To much of the future rides of WOOHP sticking around for it to fail now. Fortunately, it might just not with the information I've dug up per Danny's advice and Sam's help.
First, each of these crime's S.P.I stopped where perpetrated by the same group." Jerry brought up an image of the tattoos and merged them. "The one on the man and that of the woman's are identical like their voice. One was just made higher."
Sam nodded. "They are the same person at both crime scenes."
"Shouldn't that be impossible… unless Geraldine was behind them." Alex stated.
"Precisely." Jerry stated. "Now, S.P.I is as clean as they come, but Geraldine Husk is a different story." An image of Geraldine, on stage, with tears in her eyes as others were accepted into WOOHP appeared.
"Having a rap sheet doesn't automatically disqualify you from being a spy as exceptions have been made in the past, but her actions during training were inexcusable. She made little to no effort for change, so she was booted from the program."
"That's a motive if ever I heard one." Danny stated.
Jerry nodded. "That motive, combined with the same criminal at two scenes, is all the reason we need to send you four in for a closer look. I won't sugar coat this. If you find nothing or they prove to be on the up and up, WOOHP is done for."
"I think we understand uncle, but this little meeting we've had only confirms my feelings." Danny nodded. "S.P.I is not the organization it presents itself as."
The group were then WOOHPed away.
S.P.I HQ
The group evaded a search light and ended up at the fence.
"Alright, how do we play this?" Alex asked. "Are you going to phase us in Danny?"
Danny shook his head. "May be to risky if they have anything to track ghostly activity. You girls should use your heels to dig a tunnel while I cover our back."
"Sounds like a plan." Sam stated.
The girl's heels turned into drills and they made a hole.
Geralddine's Office
The spies' hole was made just behind Geraldine's desk in her office.
"So, this is Geraldine's office." Clover whispered. "Seems tacky to me."
"Alex and Clover, watch the door and give a low whistle if anyone's walking by." Danny stated. "Sam and I will look for clues."
The girls nodded and got into position, Danny approached the nearby bookcase, and Sam started opening a large binder on the desk. Clover and Alex soon heard footsteps, so they whistled. Danny went invisible, Sam and Clover hid around the door, and Sam ducked down.
The spies of S.P.I walked by without thinking to look in the room, and once they were gone, Sam popped up looking at the book. "Hey, take a look at this."
The group convened at the desk only to see detailed plans for each robbery that had been committed prior to this as well as several more planned after.
"That's odd." Alex whispered. "Why would S.P.I have plans for all these robberies?"
Before anyone could answer, they heard more footsteps.
"Put a hand on me." Danny stated.
The girls placed their hand on his back and Danny made them all invisible allowing them to see who was walking by.
Once he made them visible, Danny looked back at the girls. "There's your answer Alex. The thieves S.P.I captures are working for S.P.I."
"Danny, think you can keep us invisible longer?" Sam asked.
Danny smiled as he knew where she was going with this. "Just keep contact with my back, and I'll have us a front row seat to wherever their going."
Meeting Room
Danny, while maintaining invisibility, phased the whole group into the room where they caught the tail end of Geraldine's meeting.
"My plan to put WOOHP out of business has worked perfectly." Geraldine stated. "Now, the world is at our mercy." Danny slowly moved behind the men in suits with the girls. "It's time to go to phase 2. Prepare the jets."
Before they could answer, Danny floated up slightly, grabbed their head, and hit them together hard enough to knock the guys out.
"What was that!?" Geraldine asked shocked.
"I told you I'd be keeping an eye on you and your organization Geraldine." Danny floated away from the girls revealing them before landing on the table and revealing himself. "Also, don't count WOOHP out yet."
The three guys stood and faced off with the girls,
"Speed, intangibility, and can phase through things." Geraldine focused on Danny. "What are you?"
"Never heard of a ghost?" Danny questioned. "You might have if you kept your nose cleaner. Pity for you, but rather fortunate for me."
"Well, it doesn't mater what you are because my S.P.I agents won't let you off easily." Geraldine stated firmly." She jumped onto the table to face Danny. "Just as whatever a ghost is won't stop me either."
"Girls, why don't you show the boys your new toys." Geraldine threw a fist, but Danny phased through it to the woman's shock. "I will handle her."
The girls clashed with the guys as they dodged one another for a couple of hits. Eventually, each girl got a ring in the guy's clothing. They were immediately launched into the ceiling flailing about for control where there was none.
Danny walked back from Geraldine before spinning around and kicking her off the table. She crashed into a nearby wall before falling to her butt. The woman recovered only for the halfa to land a punch on her gut winding Geraldine and making her collapse.
"You couldn't join WOOHP because you didn't display the drive to do good." Danny crossed his arms. "What you've done now shows they were right to reject you."
Geraldine managed to get to her arms and knees before looking at Danny with hate in her eyes. The halfa merely sighed, shook his head, and knocked her out. S.P.I was finished.
Waikiki Beach, Next Day…
After their defeat, all of S.P.I was imprisoned, their assets, which had been acquired illegally, were sold off with the money going back where it belong, and Danny and the girls were rewarded with a mini vacation to Hawaii. They were currently in swimwear catching some sun.
"It was so cool of Jerry to give us this vacation for saving WOOHP." Sam stated.
"You know, in all the excitement, I completely forgot about those silly Chic Boutique jobs." Clover stated.
"Eh, who needs part time jobs when you're a full-time spy." Alex stated.
"Now that's a sentiment I can get behind." Danny stretched out on the chair. "This is great."
The girls couldn't agree more.
I decided to cut them being sent to Siberia since the four spies needed a small win. Especially with everything that does and will be happening in the background.
The date shall occur next chapter.
Also, small question for your guys. How many chapters should be considered a season? Both Danny Phantom and Totally Spies use 26 episodes per season, so that's what I've been aiming for with season 1 of this story. Maybe you have a different idea. How should it be divided moving forward? If you have no ideas, that's fine. I'll stick with a 26 chapter cycle or maybe whatever feels natural moving forward.
danifan3000: You're right on many accounts with your review.
Runeion: You have some solid points, and the only reason I didn't do a Dani chapter this chapter was because I'm still working it out in my head. For now, I hope the brief look into her training is enough.
Yakuza2010: Glad you are enjoying it. Maybe next time Danny will do a dance, but I felt it was time to bring Vlad back in. Continue his development. As for David and Arnold, they have skills that can most certainly be helpful in the future. Remains to be seen just how useful they be, but effective numbers is always a good thing. Trust me when I say that the fights going to be eye opening for both of them.
IrishKatana: Go for it. Post that AU challenge.
pokemon fan 1991: As I said, there were options when it came to what I could do with Vlad. Honestly, Redemption seemed like the harder path. A challenge. I realized I wanted that challenge. I wanted to show the humanity Vlad still has and bring back the humanity he lost. When he inevitably faces Ariel, I think it'll be interesting to see what he does when faced with someone obsessed with him.
Jebest4781: Hopefully, this a step in the right direction. Keep in mind, they aren't a couple yet. They are simply dating.
Matt: Nothing is off the table. As I said, I'm taking events and holding them in my pocket if I skip them.
