Deep in the Ghost Zone, A tree stood with berries all over it. The leaves move as if the wind passes through them. The tree made a low groaning noise before it seems to shake a bit. It remains still, but then a voice was heard from it.
"He's coming."
The inf-map stop at a piece of land that was far away from the others as Danny stood up from the ride. He turns and saw that Blinky's and Inky's hairs were a mess. Pinky looks as if she trying to fix her dress. Clyde was trying to get her head to stop spinning.
"Told you it would be a wild ride," Danny said once the girls get themselves together.
"I swear we never flew that fast before," Blinky said.
"I think we passed many lairs during the trip," Inky said.
"I should have changed if we were going on a trip," Pinky said blushing.
"Did everything stop spinning?" Clyde asked.
"Yeah, you okay?" Danny said.
"I feel like I'm going to throw up," Clyde said.
"Deep breathes Clyde," Danny told her and rub her back.
Clyde took some breathes and was starting to feel better. Now that they had recovered from their trip, they look around and saw many Power Pelts everywhere.
"Wow, there a whole field of Power Pelts," Blinky said surprise.
"Agree. This must be where Sue is getting them." Inky said.
"Well, we better hurry. Who knows when she'll come back for more of them." Danny said.
The girls nodded and started to look over the Power Pelts. Danny leans down to look at one when he heard a voice.
"Welcome...Young halfa."
Danny stood up and look around, making the girls look at him.
"Danny? What's wrong?" Inky asked.
"I thought I heard someone." He said.
"Come, I'm waiting for you."
"There it is again!" Danny said.
The girls stood up and try to listen. Soon they could hear the voice as well.
"Come, I can help you and your friends."
The girl's eyes widen in surprise and turn to Danny.
"Should we do what it says?" Clyde asked.
"It said it will help us," Inky said.
"We might not have a choice. Just be on your guard for anything." Danny said knowing that none of them has been here before.
They started to walk down deeper into the land, keeping an eye out for anything that might attack them. The trip was quiet and no one seems to appear. Still, Danny kept his guard up. Knowing his luck, there is always someone waiting for him and it almost never turns out good. However, he and the girls were shocked to see a giant tree that appears to have glowing berries.
"What is this?" Danny asked.
"Not sure," Inky said.
"Welcome,"
Everyone jumps at the voice and started to look around.
"Who saying that?" Danny asked.
"Forgive me, it been so long since I had visitors."
"Who are you?" Pinky asked.
"My dear, sure you and your sisters heard of the Tree of Life."
The girl's eyes widen as they turn to the tree.
"The Tree of Life?!" They shouted.
"The what?" Danny asked.
"The Tree of Life, it the one thing that holds life for the humans. Legends said that the Tree move to the Ghost Zone to stay out of reach of those who wish to use its power for evil proposed!" Inky said.
"Right you are right, Inkamena. I came to the Ghost Zone to escape those who were after my power. I kept myself hidden from Ghosts who also wish to do the same."
Everyone turns and looks at the Tree. They saw the leaves move a bit before hearing the tree making a groaning noise.
"I know what your sister Sue is planning and how she going to do it. I was told long ago that a Halfa would come before me and seek out my help to stop a dangerous ghost. And now you are here. I heard much about you...Danny Phantom." The Tree said.
"You have?" Danny asked surprise.
"There isn't a story that passes in the Ghost Zone that doesn't mention you. Out of all the Ghosts, you are the one thing they always talk about. And seeing you for the first time, I can tell they were not false." The Tree explains.
"So if been here this whole time, Why didn't Sue see you?" Clyde asked.
"Simple, I hid myself. I saw what lay in her heart and knew she could use my power for the wrong reasons." The Tree told her.
"What about the Power Pelts? Couldn't you hide them?" Blinky asked.
"No, but I'm afraid Sue didn't get the power she sought for. Those "Power Pelts" as you call them, as no more than seeds." The Tree said.
"Seeds?!" The Girls asked surprise.
"Seeds of what?" Danny also asked.
"The Power Berries." The Tree answer.
"Power Berries?" Danny asked.
"Yes, I grow these berries for many centuries, waiting for the one who would use them for the greater good. And now he has appeared before me." The Tree told them.
"Me? You were waiting for me?" Danny asked once he places it together.
"Indeed, I have something for you in your quest to stop Sue." The Tree said.
Danny watched as a branch bend down towards him and handed him a berry pouch. Another branch bends down and sets a basket of berries down in front of him.
"This pouch will allow you to carry and use the Berries should you need them. This basket is for you to grow your own Berries. Don't worry, they grow much quicker in the Human Realm." The tree told him.
Danny took the pouch and look at the tree, confused about why it was doing this.
"You have many trails to face once you return home, young halfa. And not just to save your home." The Tree said.
Danny blinks and looks at the pouch and clip it on his waist. Clyde walks over and picks up the basket and Danny looks at the Tree.
"There is one more gift I need you to have. Something that will help you in your fight." The tree said and had one of the branches bend down.
It had a Berry, but it was yellow and Danny could almost make out a face on it. He took it and look at the tree.
"That's is a berry I grew just for you. It's called a Pac Berry." The Tree told him.
"Pac Berry?" Danny asked.
"Yes, this Berry is the most powerful Berry I have made. Sadly I can only grow tow of them. I have placed the second in the basket with the others. I'm hoping you can grow them much better then I can." The Tree said.
"What does it do?" Danny asked.
"The Pac Berry holds a power that most Ghosts do not. If you eat this Berry, you will gain the ability to eat other Ghosts." The Tree explains.
"WAIT, WHAT?!" Danny asked shocked.
"I understand the thought of eating Ghosts is not very pleasing to you, but remember sometimes you must do what you can to save those in trouble, even if that means throwing away your morals." The Tree told him.
Danny looks down at the Berry, wondering if he should take it with him. He sighs and puts the berry in the pouch before looking at the Tree again.
"You can come here again after you use the berries in your fight. I would be happy to answer your questions." The Tree said.
"Danny, I think we better head back," Inky said.
"Yeah, Sue's is not going to wait any longer if she found a way to heal her ghost really fast," Blinky said.
"Alright," Danny said and pull out the Inf-Map.
"Remember young halfa, there will be a time that you must throw your morals away to save those you care about." The Tree said before Danny asked the Map to return them to Far Frozen.
The Tree remains still as if it never spoke at all.
"And so it begins. The Legend of the Halfa." It said.
After returning the Inf-Map to Frostbite, Danny and the girls headed back to the Human Realm. Danny was still shocked by the Berry he was given. When he uses the berry he can eat other ghosts. The idea didn't sit with him very well, but the way the Tree said about throwing away his morals. To save those he cares about? Danny was unsure about that as well.
"Danny? Are you okay?" Inky asked.
"I'm not sure," Danny said, knowing his trips to the Ghost Zone was never simple.
Inky walks up and places a hand on his shoulder. Danny turns to her, confuse.
"Danny, we heard that the Tree of Life was wise as well as it was old. If it gave you that berry and told you something, then it must be for a good reason. Even if you don't know what that is." Inky smiles.
Danny blinks and chuckles. He heard those words before.
"Yeah, but I'll use the Pac Berry only if I have to," Danny said.
"Sounds good to me. Let head towards your house and fill everyone up." Inky said.
"Yeah," Danny nodded and they start to head to his house.
"Hey, Pinky. If Sue doesn't attack this weekend, let's get our date done." Danny spoke up.
"Sounds good!" Pinky smiles.
Short but that because I only wanted to cover the Tree of Life in this chapter. Now Danny has the Power Berries and the Pac Berry. I think I cover Danny's and Pinky's Date next chapter, I want to get that out of the way before the big fight. Remember Danny and Pinky were talking about their date plans before Sue show up. KorevainsoLightshire, I notice you didn't review on the last chapter. You told me in Chapter 19, you did feel like reading and was going to review both chapters later. I'm guessing you still didn't feel like reading did ya? Now to get the reviews.
AnimeGoji91: Easy man, you're getting a little too excited. But I do remember the show as well. From what I found out, it only ran for two seasons and stop. I'm guessing the Seasons wasn't as good as the first. But for now, Danny is going to be fighting Ghost that mostly immune to his Powers, until he uses the Berries.
OechsnerC: Thanks. Here another one, through it much shorter than my other chapters.
Guest-N: Thanks, Good to know that I still have them match the show even if I haven't written them in some time. And yeah, I think the girls should.
thomaspheasant: I'm glad you like this, but I must ask you to not ask me to update this immediately. Everyone has their own pace and sometimes I get stuck on what to write next. Just know I'm going to write more, just in my own time.
