Hey guys! As a celebration for me finishing midterms, with startling grace if I do say so myself, here's an update. I'm actually really proud of how this one turned out so please let me know what you think. Of course this oneshot would not have happened without the amazing help of, you guessed it, TypicalHyphen24! This AU is set in Amity Park with the same general idea as the show but not really. I'm also gonna bend some of the "rules." So, yeah.

Long ago in a small town named Amity Park, there was a dark age filled with monsters and ancient ghosts. Though these ghosts plagued the poor defenseless humans, there was one hero that rose above them all. But what is the measure of a true hero? Now, that is what our story-

"Will you listen to him?!" Shiza exclaimed, "He's making this oneshot seem like the beginning of a Disney movie! Better yet, why don't we get some 'Nants ingonyama' action in here and call it Lion King?"

"Yeah, this isn't a Greek tragedy. Lighten up," Hyphen added. Hic nodded, "We'll take it from here, narrator."

You go, girl…

"We are the Writers," Hic introduced, "Protectors of fanfiction and Proclaimers of Delsa. And in this one shot, we are going to tell you about a hero named Danny Phantom-"

"Girl, you mean Dam Phantom," Shiza added.

"Our story," Hyphen interrupted, "Actually begins way back before Danny. Many eons ago."

(To the tune of : Gospel Truth I)

Over on the west coast

Amity Park was down on its luck

And everywhere gigantic ghosts

and monsters ran amuck

It was a nasty place

There was a mess

wherever you stepped

Where chaos reigned and

villains and criminals never slept

Then along came Clockwork

He fought for humans' homes

He zapped

Locked those suckers in a zone

They're trapped

And on his own stopped

chaos in its tracks

And that's the gospel truth

The guy was too type A to just relax!

Clockwork sent them packing

He tamed the globe

using the things he knew.

Though, honey, it may seem impossible

That's the gospel truth!

In the Ghost Zone, ghosts were held and

Kept from the world.

Though, honey, it may seem impossible

That's the gospel truth!

"So," Hic began, "Back to Amity Park. I'm sure you know how Danny got his powers right?"

Shiza and Hyphen shared a look before breaking into a rap, "Yo, Danny Fenton, he was just 14 when parents built a very strange machine-"

"Okay!" Hic stopped them, "I think they know the theme song. But, do they know what happened after?"

"Picture this," Hyphen continued, "Present day Amity Park. Danny Fenton is now half ghost. Everyone knows his secret. Sam and Tucker with him the whole way. But now, he's gone from 'geek to freak.'"

"And that," Shiza smiled, "Is where our little Elsa comes in…"

"Danny, I don't know why you're so worried."

The trio of friends sat together in an isolated part of the park, trying to avoid any contact with literally anyone. Once news spread that Danny Fenton was in a horrible accident that gave him ghost powers, no one would leave him alone. Right now, the feedback wasn't negative… but it wasn't exactly positive either.

"Don't know why I'm worried?" Danny raised a brow, "Sam, I've been fighting off ghosts. What if something happens to my family? What if-"

"Let me go!"

The three looked up at the sound of a new voice. "I'm guessing we need to save 'What ifs' for later," Sam said. "Yeah," Tucker added, "Sounds like a D.I.D." Danny raised a brow as he stood up, "D.I.D.?" Tucker nodded matter-of-factly, "Damsel in distress."

"Okay, then. I'm goin' ghost!"

A bright flash of light appeared at Danny's waist and created two rings, one going up, the other going down. Once the rings were gone, Danny stood with silver hair, electric green eyes, and a black jumpsuit. He rushed off towards the sound of the scream with Sam and Tucker close behind.

"I swear, Johnny, let me go or I'll-"

"Oh, I like 'em fiery."

The trio came into a clearing that was hidden from prying eyes by trees and bushes. They found a girl who was cornered by a blonde guy in front of her and a motorcycle behind. A dark shadow was gripping her wrist as she struggled to get away. The girl had platinum blonde hair that was down in a braid and bright sparkling blue eyes.

"You know, there are better ways of getting a date."

Suddenly, a green blast of energy sent Johnny flying away from the girl. Danny quickly flew up to her, "Hey, are you al-"

"Keep moving Junior," she huffed.

" … -right? But aren't you… a damsel in distress?"

"I'm a damsel," she struggled to break the grip of the ghost holding her, "I'm in distress. I can handle this," she stopped struggling and gave him a smirk, "Have a nice day."

Johnny then flew straight at Danny and tackled him to the ground, "Hey man, no fair. I got first dibs. Honor the bro code." Danny kicked the ghost off of him. "Shadow!" Johnny called, "Attack!" The dark ghost let go of the girl and flew towards Danny.

Danny narrowly dodged the attack and heard his named being called. He turned to see Sam throwing him the Fenton Thermos. He caught it and easily sucked the shadow into it. Once the thermos was capped, he immediately flew towards the girl, scooped her up, and set her down away from the fight where Sam and Tucker were. "Are you okay?" he asked. She got on her own to feet and answered, "I'm-"

The hum of an engine cut her off and Danny looked back to see Johnny getting on his bike. He turned back to the girl, "Would you excuse me for a second?" As he rushed back to deal with Johnny, Tucker turned to Sam, "He really is getting better."

"Is Ghost Boy here for real?" the girl asked.

"What are you talking about? Of course he's real," Sam said with her hands on her hips. Tucker smoothly wrapped an arm around the girl's shoulders, "And bye the way sweetcheeks, I'm real, too." She rolled her eyes and shoved him away.

"See you on the other side, Johnny," Danny smirked as he sucked the ghost into the thermos. He looked up at his friends, "Ha! Did you see that?" Sam scoffed, "Okay, buster don't go getting a big head. You have to think before you barrel into a fight like that."

"Hey, at least I beat him."

"Next time, don't let your guard down because of a pair of big blue eyes!"

He moved his focus to the girl, who was leaning up against a tree seemingly trying to get something out of her shoe. He walked over to her, "Are you alright, Miss-"

"Elizabeth," she answered as she finished putting her shoe back on, "but my friends call me Elsa. At least they would if I had any friends. So," she turned at looked up at him through her lashes with a small smirk, "Did they give you a name along with that tight jumpsuit?"

Danny felt his cheeks heat up, "Oh, well… I-uh… I-I'm… uh-"

"Are you always this articulate?"

"Danny! Ahem, my name is Danny Fenton."

"Danny, huh? I think I prefer Ghost Boy," she smirked at his obvious stutter. He tried to be cool leaned up against the tree, stumbling a bit before regaining his balance, "S-So, how did you get mixed up with the… um-"

"Pinhead with a bike and a shadow? Well, you know how boys are," she joked getting closer to him and batting her eyes, "They think 'no' means 'yes' and 'get lost' means 'take me I'm yours.'" Danny blinked back at her and she sighed, "Nevermind."

She began to walk away before turning back to him, "Well, thanks for everything Phantom. It's been a real 'slice.'"

"Wait!" She turned back to him. "I-uh… do you need a ride home?" She moved back towards him, "I'll be alright," she jokingly flexed her bicep, "I'm a big tough girl," she put the hand of the arm she flexed under his chin, holding it up with her pointer finger, "I tie my own shoes and everything." She turned and walked down the path out of the park, "Bye bye, Ghost Boy."

"Bye," he waved dreamily.

Knock knock

"Enter."

Elsa opened the door of the mayor's office and entered. The big chair at the desk spun around, revealing a grey haired, midnight blue eyed man. "Ah, Elsa darling, come in, come in. Sit." Elsa did as she was told and sat in one of the two chairs in front of his desk. The man then pushed a button that was under his desk and the desktop flipped, changing to a map with figurines on it, resembling a battle plan. "So, tell me Elsa, what exactly happened here? Hm?" he asked, folding his hands together, "I thought you were going to persuade Johnny 13 to join my side for world domination. And here I am, without a Johnny 13."

"Vlad, I gave it my best shot but he made me an offer I had to refuse," Elsa replied smartly, flicking Johnny's figurine off the map. Vlad growled, "Then I'll have to add two more years onto your service. You 'gave it your best shot.'" Elsa scowled and sat back in the chair, "Look, it's not my fault. It was this Ghost Boy, Danny Fenton."

" … What was that name again?"

"Danny. He comes on with this innocent farm boy act but I could see through it in a second."

Vlad smirked to himself, "It seems Jack's son has taken on the role of a hero." He rose from his chair and opened a drawer, "Fortunately, it seems we can correct this little set back, hm?" He pulled out a silver collar with a red light on it that was currently not on. "What's that?" Elsa asked slightly nervous, hoping it wasn't something for her. "This, my dear, is my latest creation," he smirked, "It can bend any ghost to my will with the push of a button."

"But there are millions of ghosts out there."

"Oh Elsa, did you really think I only had one? But first, we must dispose of the 'Ghost Boy.'"

"Please, help! Please, there's been a terrible accident!"

"Elsa?"

Elsa looked up into the crowd to see Danny looking at her questionably. Bingo. "Ghost Boy," she sighed in relief running to him, "Danny, thank goodness."

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Just outside of town. Three little boys, they were playing in the gorge. T-There was a rockslide a terrible rockslide. They're trapped." Danny's expression hardened and he scooped her up into his arms, "Hang on."

She screamed as he launched into the sky, attracting the attention of the crowd that formed around them. Said crowd was following them as they zoomed towards the outskirts of town.

When they finally landed on a small ledge in the gorge, he looked down at her, "You okay?"

"I'll be fine. Just put me down before I ruin the dry cleaning."

"Help!"

"We can't breathe!"

"Hurry!"

Danny set Elsa down and hurried to help the boys. The crowd arrived and watched from the step-like ledges in the gorge. Elsa watched as Danny talked to the boys before placing both hands on the gigantic rock that trapped them. He turned himself intangible and, slowly, the bolder followed suit. The three boys scampered out from underneath the rock, complimented Danny on his powers, before running off.

"Startling performance, boys. I was moved," Vlad said as the three boys ran up to him. He stood in a cave-like part of the gorge, hidden from prying eyes. The three boys suddenly turned into three ghosts, bright green vultures. "And of course, a standing ovation for our leading lady."

Elsa sighed and looked back down at the boy in the gorge, "Get out of there ya big dork while you still can."

Suddenly, a bright green vine grabbed Danny's ankle and pulled, knocking him to the ground. He grunted and rubbed his head. He gasped when he looked up to see a giant plant ghost thing that roared, "I am Undergrowth!" He immediately leaped into action, flying around the ghost and blasting ecto rays left and right. Undergrowth roared and fell to the ground, vines that connected his limbs were now smoldering and detached. Danny landed on the ground as the crowd applauded. "Nice one, hero," Sam smirked as she and Tucker went up to greet him. He smiled but stopped when he heard a noise behind him.

"That doesn't sound good," Tucker said. Danny turned back to see Undergrowth's limbs reattaching themselves and his vines growing back. "Definitely not good!" Sam yelled as Danny flew out to try and defeat the ghost again but to no avail. Everytime he made even a dent in the stupid giant plant, it would grow back faster each time.

"Would you quit it with the ecto blasts?!" Sam yelled.

A giant hand came out of nowhere and slammed into Danny, knocking him into the wall of the gorge. The same hand held him there, trapping him.

Danny suddenly felt a chill roll down his spine. Undergrowth laughed at him, "Now all the world will know of Undergrowth!" Danny felt the chill in his body grow more intense, as if it wanted to burst out of him. He growled up at the ghost, channeling this new energy, "Let. Me. GO!"

The entire arm of the ghost froze as Danny used another ecto blast to shatter it. Once he was free, he scowled at the ghost, his eyes glowing a bright blue along with his hands, "Bundle up, it's gonna get chilly."

He quickly flew down and phased into the ground. As he began to freeze the ghost's roots, everyone above ground was watching as the ghost's entire body slowly froze. Danny reappeared when Undergrowth was completely frozen. He sent one final ecto ray to the center of the ghost's chest, shattering the ice and destroying the ghost once and for all.

Danny drifted back down to the ground, drained now that the adrenaline was gone. Once his feet touched the ground, the entire town erupted into thunderous applause. Tucker, Sam, and Jazz rushed up to him. "Okay guys, you gotta admit," Danny sighed, "That was pretty heroic."

"Well, would you look at that," Elsa smiled to herself as she joined the crowd in applauding him.

"From that day on, our boy Danny could do no wrong," Hic said, "He was so hot, steam looked cool."

"But Vlad was not so thrilled at our hero's sudden rise to fame," Hyphen added, "He sent ghost after ghost to try and destroy him but each one failed."

"And each of these ghosts also had a shiny new chrome accessory," Shiza continued, "Vlad sent them to do away with the boy but with each failed attempt, the ghost was set free."

"And Vlad was not happy."

"Pull!"

Three vultures sat near a pile of Danny Phantom dolls. One threw a doll up in the air. Vlad Plasmius fumed as he shot a bright ecto ray right at it, sending stuffing everywhere. "Nice shot," Elsa commented.

"I cannot believe that Jack's son has bested me!" Elsa laughed as Vlad blasted one of the vultures out of pure anger. She stood up from her place in a lounge chair and sauntered out to the edge of the balcony of the Mayor's house, "Looks like your game is over. Ghost Boy is hitting every curve you throw at him." She looked out at the giant billboard that read, "Amity Park: Home of Danny Phantom."

"Hm, I wonder," Vlad smirked moving closer to Elsa, "if I've been throwing the right," he outlined her figure with his hands, leaving a trail of pink smoke behind, "curves at him."

Elsa's eyes widened in shock as she turned to him, "V-Vlad, I-I would never-"

"Elsa, my dear, he must have a weakness and we need to find out what it is."

"But, Vlad I've done my part," she turned away from him, "Get your vultures to-"

"The couldn't handle him if he was a baby," he said coming up and gripping her shoulders, "I need someone who can handle him."

"B-But, I'm not sure I'd be very good at-"

"Besides, what if I offered to end your service?" Vlad added.

" … I'm listening."

"You give me the key to bringing down Daniel and you are free." Elsa turned back to look him in the eye, "And Anna? You'll let her go, too." Vlad took her hand, "I swear on the River Styx."

"There he is!"

Sam, Tucker, and Danny stopped at the top of the Fenton Works front steps to turn and find a screaming group of female "Phans." They all rushed at Danny, not caring that he was in Fenton form. They tackled him to the ground. "Sam, Tuck, help!" he gasped under all the girls fighting over his left shoe. Sam rolled her eyes and whispered, "Use escape plan 'Beta.'" Danny nodded, "Gotcha."

Sam used to fingers to whistle. The group of girls stopped, realizing Danny had disappeared. "Hey, where is he?" one asked. Sam pointed down the street, "There he goes! Around the block!" The girls screamed and ran with Tucker following close behind, calling, "Ladies wait!" Sam huffed as she ran after him. Danny sighed in relief as he became visible again.

"Boo."

He jumped as he turned around to see Elsa smirking up at him from the bottom of the stairs, "Elsa!" Her smirk melted into a smile as she took in his appearance. His silver hair was raven black and his usual electric green eyes were sky blue and wide in surprise. His hair was messier then usual and parts of his clothes were torn. Not to mention the lipstick smudge on his cheek was completely and utterly adorable. "So, is this Danny Fenton?" she asked. His jaw moved but no sound came out. Her smile widened, "Though, I imagined you would have two shoes on."

Danny looked down to see his shoe was in fact missing. "Aw, man," he sighed, "I liked those shoes, too." Elsa laughed, ascending the stairs to stand next to him, "Don't worry the sea of hormones has ebbed." She pointed to her cheek. He took the hint and rubbed his cheek, getting the lipstick off.

"So, you think your friends would go nuts if you snuck out today?" she asked. Danny's eyes widened, "Oh, jeez, I don't know-" Elsa grabbed his shirt, "Oh, come on. Through the house, out the back door, you phase us through the fence and we're gone."

"Oh man, that Hercules movie was something! Didn't like the mythology inaccuracies though."

Danny, now back in Phantom form, and Elsa were walking through the less populated part of the park, where it was more gardens then park, after going to the movies. "I have to agree," Elsa laughed. Her smile faded as she saw a familiar streak of green flash through the sky, reminding her that she was not here to have fun. She gasped as she fell forward. Danny was quick to catch her. "Sorry, weak ankles," she lied as he held her in his arms. "Here," he gently picked her up bridal style, "You should sit down then."

He set her down on a nearby stone bench. "So, do you have any problems like this?" she said, scooting closer to him and hooking her leg around his, "Weak ankles, I mean." Heat rose in his cheeks as he gently moved her leg away, "Uh… no… not really."

"No weaknesses whatsoever? No trick knee," she purred while running a hand across his knee. His blush darkened as his mouth moved to say something but, again, no words came out. "No ruptured disks?" she trailed her hand from his hip, up his chest, to his chin, lightly tracing his jaw. She could see him visibly gulp. He, against every male hormone in his body, turned away from her and stood up, finding his way to a nearby fountain. "No, I'm-I'm fit as a fiddle," he said in a rush.

Elsa sighed, "Ghost Boy, you are perfect."

He shrugged his shoulders with a, "Thanks," and she stood up and moved next to him. "You know," Danny said, "When this all started, I would've given anything to be normal again. To be like everyone else."

"You wanted to be ruthless and dishonest?"

He furrowed his eyebrows, "Everybody's not like that."

Elsa looked down at her reflection in the fountain, "Yes, they are."

"But you're not like that." Elsa turned to him in surprise, "How do you know what I'm like?"

He smiled down at her, "All, I know is, you're the most amazing person with weak ankles I've ever met." Elsa smiled at him. He took her hand, "Elsa, when I'm with you, I don't feel so… alone." Elsa's heart clenched in her chest as she pulled away and sat down on the edge of the fountain, "Sometimes, it's better to be alone."

"What do you mean?"

"You can't hurt anyone and no one can hurt you," she sighed as she fiddled with her hands. "Elsa," Danny sat next her and took her hand in his again. She looked up to meet his eyes. "I would never hurt you," he promised. "And I don't want to hurt you," she admitted, "So let's stop this… before…" She trailed off as he leaned in closer.

"Alright, break it up you two! Party's over!"

Danny rolled his eyes, "Oh, no." A girl with orange hair appeared, with Sam and Tucker close behind her, "Big sister coming through! Danny, you are in for it!" Elsa stood up, "Calm down, sister, this was my idea." Jazz placed her hands on her hips, "Well, we've been looking everywhere for him!" She pointed to Danny, who stood up. "Jazz, I can take care of myself." Jazz crossed her arms, "Tell that to Mom and Dad, who are worried sick."

He looked back at the blonde. Elsa sighed, "I'm sorry. I didn't-"

"Eh, it's fine," he shrugged, "They'll get over it." Danny flew up to a cherry tree, picked a blossom, flew back down and handed it to her. Elsa smiled at the adorable gesture and took the flower, admiring it. She was so focused on the flower that she almost didn't notice the soft peck on her cheek. Almost. It was gentle, light, and barely there, but she felt it.

When she looked up, she watched him get dragged away by his sister. She laughed to herself before sighing and sinking onto the edge of the fountain. Lovesick thoughts invaded her mind as she gazed at the small pink flower.

Swoosh!

Elsa turned to see Vlad in ghost form behind her. "Elsa, my dear," Vlad said, landing on the ground, "Tell me, what is Daniel's weak link?"

"Get yourself another girl. I'm through!" Elsa said through gritted teeth. Vlad's gaze hardened, "I don't think I heard you correctly-"

"Then read my lips!" she yelled, "Forget it!"

"My dear, aren't we forgetting that your sister…" Elsa's shoulders slumped at his words. "Well," he continued, "If you disobey me, I'll let your imagination conjure up the gruesome details."

"Ugh, Danny," Sam cursed under her breath, "Just had to drop your wallet didn't you?" She immediately shut up when she spotted Elsa in the garden with Vlad. She ducked behind a bush and listened.

"You work for me. If I say, 'Sing', you say, 'What ballad?' If I say, 'I want Daniel's head on a platter,' you say…"

Elsa sighed, "'Medium or well done?'"

Sam gasped and ran back to the football field where she knew Danny would be doing laps.

"I'm sorry, do you hear that?" Vlad asked, "It's you and your sister's freedom, fluttering away." Elsa shook her head, "I don't care. I won't help you hurt him."

"Elsa, this is just a guy," Vlad sighed.

"But, he's sweet, and honest, and gentle. Besides, 'Oh, great ruler,'" she looked down at the flower in her hand and smiled triumphantly, her tone growing more confident, "You can't beat him. He has no weaknesses. He's gonna-"

The flower was suddenly plucked from her hand and Vlad smirked, "I think he does Elsa." He grabbed her by the arm with his other hand and the flower burned in a pink flame, "I truly think he does…"

"Way to go Fenton," Danny sighed to himself, "You just lost one of your best friends. God, I'm so stupid!" Why did he say those things to Sam in the first place? But why would she say those things about Elsa? Accusing her of working with an enemy?… And where is Tucker?

"Ah, Danny Phantom."

Danny turned at the sound of a voice to find the mayor. "Mr. Masters?" Danny asked, "What are you doing here?" The mayor shrugged, "I wanted to show you something, my dear boy." Suddenly, two black rings appeared at his waist. When they disappeared, they revealed none other than Vlad Plasmius.

"Mr. Masters… you're-"

"Just like you," Vlad smirked, "Only, I knew how to keep my secret. Now onto business, Daniel. I have a project in the works. Real estate, if you will. And you are in the way."

"Me?"

"Yes, so, I'm proposing you take a day off. It must be exhausting, all those ghosts fights and such." Danny shook his head, "No way."

"Not so fast, Daniel," Vlad said, his tone growing colder, "Because I have a little leverage you might want to consider."

With a snap of his fingers, Elsa appeared out of nowhere. "Elsa," Danny called. She shook her head and rushed to him, "Danny, don't listen to-" She was cut of by a long pink ecto-plasmic rope that wrapped around her body and mouth. Danny rushed towards her but she disappeared again. He turned back to Vlad and glared, "Let her go!" He blasted an ecto-ray at him but Vlad easily blocked it with a small yawn.

"So, here is my new offer. You give up your powers for 24 hours and Elsa here," he snapped again and Elsa appeared on the bleachers, still trapped, "is safe from harm."

" … People are gonna get hurt, aren't they?"

Vlad chuckled darkly, "My boy, this is a war. Need I say more?" He flew over to Elsa and cupped her chin, "But isn't she more important?" Elsa looked at him with pleading eyes, shaking her head no.

" … You have to swear she won't get hurt."

Vlad smirked, "Okay, Daniel, I'll give you that. Elsa will be safe or your powers will be returned." Vlad flew back over to Danny and offered his hand. Elsa shook her head violently, praying that he wouldn't do it. Danny took Vlad's hand and shook it.

Suddenly, Danny fell to the ground, changing back to Fenton. Vlad chuckled as he kicked Danny over, placing his foot on his chest. "How does it feel to be just like everyone else, Daniel?" Vlad got off of Danny and snapped his fingers, making Elsa's constraints disappear. Elsa gasped for breath and coughed. Vlad took her hand and pulled her up onto her feet, "Isn't she a fabulous actress? I bet you didn't even suspect she was working for me the whole time."

Elsa pulled away from his grasp, "Don't touch me." She rushed to Danny's side but he glared at her, "You- … You lied to me." She shook her head, "Danny, it's not like that. Please, I-"

"Oh, and Elsa," Vlad said giving her a sharp look, "I'll tell your sister you said, 'Hello.'"

"Danny Phantom! Come out and face me!"

Danny stood at the front of the school, watching Vortex destroy the whole town. He barely took a step forward before a small hand stopped him. "What are you doing?" Elsa asked, gripping his shoulder, "Without your powers you'll be killed!"

"There are worst things," he said in a monotone voice, not looking away from the ghost, before walking out towards Vortex. Elsa thought to herself, trying to think of a way to stop him before he killed himself. She suddenly heard a bang from the shed by the fields. She ran to it and flung open the door, finding Tucker tied to a post. "Tucker!" she exclaimed, rushing to untie him. He scoffed, "Since when are you so happy to see me?"

"Since, Danny's in terrible danger. You know where Sam is? She's the only one who can talk some sense into him."

Sam looked out her window to see the Specter Speeder. She opened the window, "What do you want, Tucker?"

The hatch in the front opened, revealing Tucker, who was driving, and Elsa. Sam's eyes narrowed, "Why are you here?"

"Sam, I know you don't like me but right now, that's not the issue. Danny needs you!"

"Why would he need me? He's got you. He doesn't need me anymore," she said coldly.

"Sam," Elsa said in a softer tone, "I never wanted to drive Danny away from you or Tucker. I could never replace either of you. He needs a voice of reason. He needs you. Both of you."

" … Make room."

They zipped towards the center of town to find Danny lying on the ground with his clothes singed, probably from a lightning strike. As soon as the Speeder landed, Sam and Tucker rushed out to help their friend. They spoke to him while Elsa hung back, not missing the glare Danny sent her. Sam pulled his focus back on her and seemed to talk some sense into him. A giant hand came down and grabbed him. As he was being pulled up, Elsa threw him the first weapon she could find in the Speeder. He caught it in his hand and opened it to reveal the Fenton Fisher. He quickly used it to poke Vortex in the eye. Vortex dropped Danny and once he hit the ground, Danny used the Fenton Fisher to pull Vortex down by his tornado-like ghostly tail. He quickly hit the button that activated a new electricity attachment, electrifying Vortex to the point where his collar shorted out. Vortex fell to the ground, making the whole town shake.

Elsa immediately noticed the Nasty Burger sign as it began to wobble and fall towards Danny, who was trying to catch his breath.

"Danny!" she cried as she rushed over and shoved him out of the way.

Crash!

Complete silence fell as the dust settled and the trio saw Elsa under the heavy metal sign. "Elsa!" Danny yelled as he rushed to move the sign off of her, not caring that his enhanced strength was gone. Sam and Tucker hurried to help him. A white ring suddenly appeared around Danny's waist as he was finally able to move the sign. Once it was off of her, he looked down to find himself in Phantom form, "What-?"

"Vla-Vlad's deal is broken," Elsa gasped in pain, "He p-promised I would get hurt."

"Elsa," Danny fell to his knees beside her, taking her in his arms, "Wh-Why did you-? … You didn't have to-"

"People always do crazy things… when they're in love."

Danny's eyes widened, "Oh, Elsa… I-I…-"

"Are you always this articulate?" Danny couldn't help the small smile from forming on his lips. "You-You haven't got much time," Elsa winced, "You can still save the town. Stop, Vlad."

A cushion from the Specter Speeder was gently placed under her head. "We'll watch her," Sam said and Tucker nodded. Danny smiled gratefully at his friends before looking back down and pressing his forehead gently against Elsa's. "You're going to be okay. I promise." She lifted a hand to cup his cheek. "Go," she whispered softly. With renewed vigor, Danny stood and zoomed into the sky, determined to stop Vlad.

Elsa watched him go with a sigh. "S-Sam," she whispered. Sam and Tucker exchanged a look before Tucker nodded at Elsa, urging her to go. Sam moved to Elsa's other side and looked down at the girl expectantly. Elsa winced again, "S-Sam, Tucker, you need to hear the truth. To hear w-why I helped Vlad. So you can tell Danny-"

"You're gonna tell Danny yourself," Sam said and a soft tone.

Elsa shook her head, "And if I can't, can I trust you to tell him?"

Tucker and Sam didn't even hesitate as they nodded. Elsa let out a small sigh of relief , "My family is not the most fortunate. So, when a millionaire with a job opportunity comes along, I jumped at the chance, leaving my family behind so I could support them. Turns out, this job was less conventional then I expected. But when I began to refuse his orders, he told me he had my little sister, Anna, somewhere and she could easily be disposed of with the press of a button." Elsa gave the two a pained look, "She's only five."

Bang!

Flash!

The three looked up to see flashes of green and magenta light in the sky, revealing silhouettes behind the clouds. Elsa smiled when she saw Danny with an army of ghosts behind him. She recognized them to be all the ghosts he had set free from Vlad's control. Her smile widened when she noticed how much bigger his side was.

!

Elsa gasped and jolted at the sharp pain that coursed through her, feeling even weaker then before. She felt someone take her hand and looked up to see Sam holding her hand and Tucker smiling comfortingly down at her. She returned the smile with a small one of her own. Suddenly, a bright flash of light exploded from the clouds. Elsa squeezed her eyes shut to block out the harmful glare.

When she opened them again, she saw Danny flying back towards them, a small part of his "army" following closely behind. He landed next to Sam with Skulker, Ember, Poindexter, Dora, Wulf, and Walker on the other side of her. He didn't even acknowledge them as he took her in his arms, holding her close to his chest, "Elsa, listen to me okay, we're going to get help." He looked around frantically for any sign of help. Elsa smiled softly and reached up to cup his chin, turning his face back to her and shaking her head.

Danny's face fell, "Come on Elsa, don't… don't be like that. Y-You're going to make it." He brought their foreheads together and dropped his voice to a whisper, his voice cracking slightly, "You have to make it."

"Walker," Dora whispered, careful not to interrupt the two, "Can't we bend the rules… just this once?" Walker's blank stare didn't falter but he softly called, "Wulf." The black haired creature stepped forward. "I need you to fetch something for me."

"Sam," Elsa looked up at her, "Can you do me a favor?" Sam nodded. "Find Anna. Bring her home. Tell her I-" she stopped, her vision slowly drifting in and out of consciousness. "Elsa," Danny whispered.

"Phantom."

Danny looked up when he heard his name being called. He frowned, his arms protectively tightening around Elsa, "Not now, Skulker." The ghost just stepped to the side, revealing Wulf who had another ghost in his arms. The ghost looked like Elsa, though she was barely visible. With each breath the real Elsa took, the ghost grew more visible. "If we can reunite her spirit with her body before it's too late," Dora explained gently, "It may save her."

Wulf walked towards them and Danny immediately set her back on the ground, desperate for anything that could save her. As Wulf laid the spirit into Elsa, Danny felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up to Sam and Tucker giving him encouraging smiles.

They all looked at Elsa and waited with baited breath. Moments passed and nothing happened. Just when everyone was beginning to give up hope, Elsa sat up and gasped with her eyes wide. Danny's eyes lit up, "Elsa?"

Elsa let out a relieved sigh when she saw Danny, "Ghost Boy."

She practically leapt up into his arms, tackling him in a big hug, which he gladly returned, and burying her face into his chest. Elsa opened her eyes when she felt two more pairs of arms wrap around them. She smiled at Sam and Tucker as the four friends let go of each other. Danny turned to the small party of ghosts, "Thank you for-"

"Save the sap, dipstick," Ember stopped him with a small smirk, "You're the one who helped us first."

"You saved us from that bully," Poindexter added.

"So just this once, I'll break a rule," Walker said with a smile, "Just don't get use to it, punk."

Danny chuckled and rolled his eyes, "I'll try." He looked back at Elsa when he felt her take his hand in her small one. They smiled at each other but were interrupted.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Kiss her," Skulker interjected. "Get on with it," Sam added. "Go for it bro," Tucker gave Danny a thumbs up. He laughed and turned back to her. She stepped closer to him, "Well, you heard them Phantom, just kiss me already."

"I hate to put a damper on things but I never really liked happy endings."

A magenta rope appeared out of nowhere and wrapped around Elsa's wrist, pulling her away from Danny. She landed in the arms of Vlad, still in ghost form. His clothes were tattered and he had a few burns but there was a malevolent grin on his face that made her uneasy. He roughly gripped her wrist and pulled her to his side. "Elsa," he sing-songed, "Aren't we forgetting one tiny little crucial detail?" he pulled her closer and yelled in her face, "I OWN YOU!"

Elsa winced at the shout and tried to pull away. Danny sent Vlad a glare so cold and harsh, it would make any ghost wince in fear, no matter how powerful. But Vlad didn't even notice him as he reached into his belt and pulled out a small remote. "Have you forgotten that with one press of a button, your sister will-Ack!" A small green ecto ray zapped the controller out of his hand, "Oh, cheese logs!"

Tucker blew off the smoke that was coming from a green stick of lipstick, "It's a lipstick and an ecto ray! Because I'm worth it."

"Blast!" Vlad growled before smirking and turning back to Elsa, "Not matter, you still have nowhere to run."

"Let me go!" she shouted with an icy glare.

"I don't think so, girl. I am taking you far away and this time," he tightened his grip on her wrist, "you won't escape me."

"Ow! V-Vlad, you're hurting me!"

Zap!

Vlad was sent flying back into a building by another green ecto ray, releasing Elsa in the process. Once the smoke cleared, Danny stood in front of Elsa in a protective stance that dared Vlad to come near her again, fists smoldering and eyes now glowing bright green with fury. He felt a familiar chill roll down his spine as he thought of Vlad laying his hands on Elsa… No… chill wasn't the right word. It was more a surge of power.

Vlad stood again, laughing darkly, "Oh, has the hero come to rescue the fair maiden?" He took a step towards them and Danny tensed up, growling through his teeth, "Get away." Vlad laughed again and continued walking towards them.

"I said get AWAY!"

Suddenly an inhumane sound erupted from Danny's mouth at the end of his sentence, sounding almost like a ghostly wail. Sound waves shook through the town and sent Vlad flying backward into the building again. Once Vlad changed back into a human, the sound died down. Danny sighed as he changed back into Fenton and fell to his hands and knees. Elsa took her hands off her ears and knelt down to him, checking to make sure he was okay, "Danny, you… you-"

"People do crazy things," he panted weakly, "when they're in love." Elsa's heart swelled at his words as she helped him up. Tucker ran up to the unconscious man, snapping a Specter-Deflector around his waist.

Vlad opened his eyes slowly and grunted, "I can't focus my powers." Danny weakly straightened up and changed back to Phantom, seeing as Vlad was awake and was prepared for a fight. Elsa put a hand on his chest and walked up to the man.

Elsa gripped the man's collar, "Which means I don't need any to do this. So, Vlad," she swiftly punched Vlad in the face, making him fall to the ground, "Stay away from me and my sister." She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to see Danny. "That just may be the hottest thing I have ever seen you do," he joked. She rolled her eyes at him. "Next, we find your sister," he added with a comforting smile. They looked away from each other when they heard whispers, noticing the crowd of civilians that had formed around them.

"Just kiss her already!" the two heard Sam call out from somewhere in the crowd. Danny blushed and rubbed the back of his neck as all eyes turned to him and Elsa. He gave her a shy look. Elsa rolled her eyes, grabbed the collar of his jumpsuit, and smashed their lips together. The crowd around them erupted in cheers and thunderous applause. Danny's eyes widened she pulled him closer to her roughly before they broke away from each other and laughed.

"Hit it, Writers!" Tucker shouted. Hic, Hyphen and Shiza gladly obliged as they watched their Delsa ship dance to the music.

Here's a hero who can please the crowd.

A star is born!

Come on everybody shout out loud.

A star is born!

Just remember in the darkest hour

Within your heart's the power

For making you

A hero too.

So don't lose hope when you're forlorn.

Just keep your eyes upon the skies.

Every night a star is

Right in sight a star is

Burning bright a star is born!
