Prophecy of secret origins
The next day just before break of day Danielle was rummaging through her closet. She seemed really stress out and looked like she hadn't got a lot of sleep.
"Where are those boots? And where are my designer sunglasses? Ah! Found them! Now just to find it oh here it is!" pulling out her hover board and pull on her outfit. "Lets see leather boots. Check. Black leather mini skirt, gloves and top check. Just need to put on my shades and I can go." She waltzed over to her window and prepared to jump when someone tapped her on the shoulder. "Hey what are you doing, Danielle?"
The commit came as a surprise and as a result was that her magazine rack blew up!
"Danny! What are you trying to do give me a heart attack! I can't believe it! I thought I final had control over that power! Any what are you doing here? It's 5: 25 in the morning should you be asleep?" she asked
"You know when trying to sneak out you should learned to not be so loud. A herd of elephants is quieter than you. So what are you doing and why you dress like that? It looks sexy." He said.
"I couldn't sleep and if I stay in the space with Kenneth too long I use the guillotine on myself. I'm going out to the valley of fire and doing some extreme hover boarding. You are welcome to rip it with me." She said as she laid the board two feet out the window and did a flip on it. "Come on. No one is going to be up till 6:45 lets have some fun. A break is what we need." He heisted then bit his lip and jumped and missed the board by 3 inches! Danielle uses her TK to place him on the board. "Now hold onto my waist and let's go!" As she began to do aerial tricks similar to that of a pro athlete.
"How fast are we going, beloved!" cried Danny as they weaved around the geysers of flames. Just barely making out a tunnel of fiery death.
"We're going about 250! That even faster then your top speed in ghost mode. Come on let's surf the lava wave next Yahoo!"
"Danielle I don't mean to pry , but who gave you this board? It looks just like the one Valerie Gray use.
"Valerie only got the Ghost Hunter Hover Board version 0.1 I got the new upgrade one Vlad hasn't even released onto the market yet. This one is faster and smarter. It thinks for itself. Vlad so good when it's comes to disturbing and selling ghost zone technology!" she cried as she then grabbed his hand they did a backfill off onto the top of a giant purple lava serpent.
"Is this not the best!"
"Hold on a minute! Your telling me Vlad sells ghost technology and he gave to Valerie so she could try to kill me? AND YOU STILL BELIEVE THAT MAN IS GOOD!" screamed Danny
"Oh Danny! The G.Z.P.D. and some of our scientist had been combining human and ghost tech for weeks now. But we need them tested to see if they work with Renegades situation. So Vlad gave a variety of people the goods and one of the people chosen to try out them was Valerie who name means strong which she proven to be. It also gave him the perfect opportunity to manipulate the situation and force you to come up with a different way to fight. And it gave you a human not a ghost opponent to fight! And as for the time in Colorado. He again manipulate the situate that fit his contract and his revenge. You were able to beat him with out your powers and you also cleverly disable his. So he taught you to use your head and not just your powers. Which every good fighter needs is to be able to fight when they have no power.
So any way that that! Come we must go back or we'll miss breakfast. Come on! She jumped back on the board and they went home to eat blueberry chocolate chip pancakes sprinkled with cinnamon and glazed with honey!
Jazz and the gang were putting up the finish touches on the ballroom and things were going great. But then the queen came in and told them something that they need to truly complete things.
"Jasmine, you have truly made this bud bloom into the most beautiful flower just as your name means. And you Tucker you have been helpful to us all. You fuller than of the cloth as your name imply. You've all been great. Sam, Sam come here! Hum. " Walking over to Sam who was listing to a girl band named the WITCHS on her disc player. She lifts the earpiece and said. "If you're done spell casting to the song "Witch's Ghost" I need to make announcement. So be like your name and listen please."
"Sorry, Desdemona. What's up?" she asked
"As I was saying all of you done a great job getting this place ready for Saturday Night. But I think it's vital that you know all guest are required to have a date for the ball. Luckily I've taken the liberty to get you all dates. They'll be here at five Saturday so please be dress for the night by then. I think you deserver a reward for all your hard work. Gabriella take them to the Hall of Great Leaders and Heroes. I'll send your sister and Danny your way. And please keep them away from the Melchior. I know they're snooping around! So please avoid them at all cost!" said the Queen to her youngest daughter.
"Sure Mother I will keep them safe. I'm as devoted to helping our family as my name means devoted to God. Come with me."
"Dude what is up with this thing about knowing what your name means? I had no idea that my name meant of cloths till your mom told me!" shouted Tucker
"Its just a custom in our culture to know. Now this is the Hall of Great leaders and heroes. All done by the outstanding artist prodigy Jacqueline Ivory who name means supplanter substitute; little Jacqui. She be arriving back from Earth soon. She was just present a scholarship to some budding artist. She is very kind. On the right is the Leaders and on the left is the Heroes."
"These panting are amazing! They look so realistic! You think these are photos and not paintings." Comment Sam
"It like she could catch a lighting bolt in motions. She really great." Said Jazz
"Hey Gabby what with this little alcove. Why is there a curtain? "asked Tucker
"That is the special sanctuary to the Ghost Zone greatest hero and leader. Only a few people deem worth are permit passed there."
"So in less you want another date with Demon and the other dogs you'll respect the scanty of that place." Said Danielle who just appeared with Danny and Wulf in tow
"Jacqueline Ivory artwork seems to have a magical affect to anyone who looks at it. I wonder if she her self as the same affect on people." Comment Danny.
"Well youthful Daniel why don't you turn around and see for your own eyes." Said a sugary voice.
They all turn and saw a girl about their age. She had short red hair with a beautiful flower on the right side. Her eyes where magenta. She had fair skin. Her earrings were blue sapphire stars with tiny diamonds at the points and almond shape topaz in the center. Around her neck was a pink ribbon and a pink crystal necklace. She wore a dark pink off the shoulder blouse and a short pink and lavender skirt with pink ankle strapped platform shoes with gold bracelets and an anklet.
"Hi, Jacqueline Ivory. I so glad you love my art. And because of that I like to a painting of each of you. So come on lets go to my studio."
"I would never image that she be are age." Said Danny as the walked.
Before Danielle could replay Kenneth and his wolfhound Kane step out from behind a tapestry.
"Well hello Princess, how would you like to go and have a little ride. My slaves can get our horse in a few minutes. And if not I beat them till they get it right."
"You have no compassion in your heart! Children shouldn't be your slaves. Now get away from me."
"I think I had quite enough of you attitude Danielle. You should act like a princess not some stupid human young. But then considering were you've been. You probably been poisoned by the worms. You must remember who the superior beings are and those fleshweares are the enemies. Especial those freaks the halfas!" he shouted.
"No one is better than anyone else. We are all equal. The contents of chanter show how good we are in the eyes of God. And you have failed to show any positive attitudes. Now if you excuse me , Danny and me are going." She said in rage
His hand lashed out and grabbed her arm and held. "I think you should learned to be a bit more tactful. I'm the most powerful ghost and I deserver some respect so you and me are going to spend time together. So lets go." He said.
"Hey! Leave her alone. You jerk! You think you should get respect you should show others it first! Now let her go!" shouted Danny
"And what are you going to do, boy?" he asked with a smirk on his face.
Danny and Wulf got into a fight stance.
Kenneth chuckled and said. " You want to fight? Fine. But I been train by the best fighter who ever lived and one of them was Alexander the Great. And I clean his clock three days after my first lesson with him. And Kane here never lost either. Ectoplasm Armor On!" he shouted. He was covered in green ectoplasms and in changed into a suit of armor. He than got out a long light force saber.
Danny just stood there. He want save his mimic power for later. But he did create rapier and shield of his own. He landed a few blows on him. He was trying to remember what Othello had said. When fighting always have a plan of attack and a defense plan, a back up for those. Think a few moves ahead. Analyzed your opponent weakness and strengths and be able to counter his attack. And you had to think of all this at the same time!
He went intangibly to avoid the saber and attack from behind. Then went invisible. But Kane sniffs him out and went for his throat but Wulf attack him. The both gave it all the got and just when they were about to slice the other head of someone shouted "ENOUGH!" And the quartette of Plasmius clones pulled everyone off each other.
"I will not condone fighting in my palace! You four are in deep trouble. Now you Kenneth go back to your private tower. Danny you and Danielle come with me. I expect you to remind your father Kenneth to be aware that while your family is at my home to follow the rules. Is that clear, my lordship?" asked Othello
"What you said shall be done. My king we'll not fight again. Come Kane we aren't welcome here. Not with those flesh lovers and freaks of nature polluting the atmosphere. " He ran as fast as he could.
I hate that boy! I wish he were alive so I could kill him! Thank you Danny you were very brave." Said Danielle as she blushed.
"That may be the case, my Filly but we can't let any of the Melchior antagonizing get to us. I think he only wish to fight Danny to see if he was his equal. That family carries a hate stronger then the KKK had for blacks. The think they are better and should rule." Said the wise Othello
"Try to avoid confrontation, Daniellela. Remember some battles in war are best resolved by words of harmony rather than fist of vehemence. Please be kind enough to avoid him this time." Said Desdemona as she kissed her on the forehead and smiled.
"We best be getting back to work. Danny you and Wulf go to the Armory and practice making weapons and try to come up with some new belligerent techniques. Danielle I think it be best if you would go along with Vlad and be of assistance to him. You need to get vindicate of all this anxiety right away! See you later my beloved daughter." Said Othello
"I will see you later. I won't let Kenneth hurt you again. Come Wulf I got some Fenton Jerky for you to try. I love you!" he said kissing her on her cheek and jetted of to the weapon store with a death glare at Plasmius.
"He quite a fine boy and he will be a even better man. He will defiantly surpass his father on many scales. He has great potential more than he will ever know. You chose sensibly my princess. There could be no better chose for an heir to the throne than he. You have been awfully quiet what thoughts could you be pondering? Tell me please." Asked a very concerned Vlad.
"Everyone expects me and Danny to be some kind of Savior. Like we are Jesus Christ or something. I know of the saying for being royally means giving up who you are for who you're except to be. And everyone expects me to be greater than my father. But I'm just a kid! I know my future as queen that part of my destiny was sealed the day I was born. But the events predetermined by the hand of Fate where conserved long before I was born. That my past and the destiny that lies before me were sealed long ago. If Danny knew that him become a Halfa and meeting me was no accident. I've had to conceal the truth from the boy I worship far to long. If anyone denser to know of the Prophecy it should be him!" she said as her TP and SC let loose an explosion that ripped half the palace.
"You know sometimes the truth, no matter how much we need it and maybe the key to unlock the door that has all the answer. It may not set us free. Maybe its better not to know sometimes. In life sometimes the truth is even more painful than the lies. Do you really think Danny will be able to handle knowing what lies beyond that curtain in the Hall of Leaders and Heroes?
He already be burden enough don't you think?" said Vlad
"I can't lie anymore. It's like a knife cutting me. I know from speaking to Sam that she was upset. I need to know if he doing this. That he really loves me and is willing to scarify so much that may include his humanity! That he truly understand everything. I know being a sister myself that Jazz is very consenter about Danny and wants to help him just like Sam and Tucker. Can I deny him the truth that might put their fears to rest? I need to tell him the truth. No matter whom it will hurt!" she exclaimed.
"Ahh!" shouted Kenneth as he threw a silver cup against the wall. It busted and crimson wine spilled everywhere.
"Calm down, my dark prince! You wouldn't want all that stress to ruin your perfect face. Remember appearances are everything! Now here have some of my famous chocolate brownies. Take one and get back in your pose so they may finish your statue. After all gold statues are made of the greatest of men." Said Lady Katharine as she held out a silver plate.
"But Mother! I'm the second most powerful person in the ghost zone. I have looks, power, and wealth. I have everything and still she doesn't give me the respect I deserve! I've been trained by the best and that little runt and the nerve to changeling me! And to make matter worse he almost beat me! I will not be humility by some freak of nature! I will be king!" he shouted as he ate his brownie
"Son, no one is questioning your greatness. The Fantana are unfit to rule for they have been poisoned by the humans' humanity. I know that there more to that Queen then meets the eye. But you must be patience. We have wait for 1100 years to take are rightful place as rulers of both world. We are strong, powerful, cleaver and smart. We are god among men. Nothing will stop us. Especially not some loopy lass fortune telling! With my own fist of iron." He said as his right fist turn to iron and smash the wall. "All our enemy will be crush into dust! And that doesn't work will slice them up like paper through a shredder!" He said as three inch gold claws palm bracelet sliced the curtains.
"You are right Father. It just so frustrating when you are superior to everyone in every single way. But we shouldn't be so hasten. The only way to achieve our goal and not be hung by our own noose is to pretend that we are loyal to those backstabbers! I say we have another meeting and make sure that we have covered all angles of this operation! I'm so tired of sucking up to that girl! Let intensify the tension around here. Keep everyone on the edge! I hate to see the terror leave their eyes. Ha, Ha, Ha! " He sneered as he laughed conceded way.
From the balcony above the armory Danielle and Plasmius observe intensely as Danny and Wulf work hard in the working out course and learn to work as one!
"Ok I got to top the time of 2:45! I need to be fast as lighting! Start the course on level ten. And turn off the safety guards." Instructed Danny as he prepared to the ultimate run through.
"But Friend Danny! You could get hurt. Very badly!" Said Wulf with caution
"Do it!"
"OK."
He first flew at top speed while dodging ice fire while firing ectoplasm energy blast. Then went intangible to get through the swinging axes. Threw up a shield to avoid fireballs. Overshadowed to pull a leaver and went invisible then used his new powers and fighting skills to win against the robot gladiators.
When he heard applauding he stared up at the pair.
"How long have you been there?" he asked
"Long enough to see how much you have grown and improved, son. Mmm you could very well be the greatest ghost every. Maybe even more powerful than I. You have come a long way since being a scrawny boy with out a clue who was stumbling to a young man with pride and honor. Who is a force to be reckoning with. I think I speak for everyone when I say it is easy to see why the people can't believe that you and Jack are from the same gene pool. You have no idea what in store for you, my child. You are truly a diamond in the rafted." Said Vlad with admiration in his eyes.
"Coming form you , that some complement. I like to know if there any powers you two think I might get. Tell me?" he asked.
"Well can you do this, Danny boy?" said Danielle as she place her right palm on his forehead and pulled out a pulsating green orb. She let it flouted to eye leave and popped and they all saw a few sec of Danny at age three on a tirck.
"Ok what was that!" asked Danny.
"Ectoplasm thought bubbles. I can retrieve any memory from your mind and have others see it. You should practice this some time. Now Danny I've decide I won't lie and hold back any more information. Come with me. There something you should see. A long time ago." She replied sadly.
He followed them down the twisting and confusing corridors till they arrived back at the Hall of Great Leaders and Heroes. They scurried past all the beautiful artwork till they came to the niche with the curtain. Turning she looked Danny in eye and said in a voice full of wisdom of ages gone by "Behind this curtain lays the doorway to a special sanctuary. That sanctuary is dictated to the great hero that the Ghost Zone and the Earth have ever seen. What you are about to see and hear can never be repeat to ANYONE! Now follow me." She said as she pulled back the dark cru ten to reveal a wooden arch door.
There was no handle or keyhole. Instead there was a box of brightly colored smooth stones each with a symbol written on them. He didn't recognize the symbols. She began to place the stones in a sequence around the door. When she finishes the stones all glowed for moment and hum unearthly music. The door vanished and a stone elevator appeared. They stepped inside and the door vanished "Brace your self." Whisper Plasmius
"Huh? AHH!" screamed Danny as he shot to the ceiling. The elevator shot like a rocket. In seconds they arrived to the top of the second tallest tower. They stepped out into a small room. There was a stain glass window in each decoration each with some kind of scene. There was a desk and a bookcase and scent candles lit everywhere. Under a spotlight there was a book under glass. On the west wall was a series of large portents painting.
"Nice little crib you got here. But what so special about this place you need to keep it locked up? I mean there enough dust to fill the Sahara Desert twice!" he comment
"Young Daniel opens your eyes! And look at the center panting and tell us what you see!" cried Vlad in dismay
He caution walked up to the painting and gasped! The guys in the portent look just like him! Well if was 24 and he combined his human and ghost form together. The boy had his hair. It was jet black with a streak of snow white. He had one blue eye and one green eye and his clothes were similar to his Phantom gear.
"Who is that? And why he look like me?" asked Danny
"His name was Joseph Macry. His name meant God will add or increase. He was the world first Medium."
"Medium? He looks like a small to me." Said Danny in confusion.
"A Medium, Daniel is someone who can see, hear, and interact with the dead. Like that show on NBC on Monday nights at nine." Explained Vlad.
"Oh"
"Joseph was very talented. He was not afraid of ghost like most people of his time. When he was 18 he come in contact with the spirit of a Arabian princess. Her name was Almira, which in her language means aristocratic princess, exalted. He married her. About that time the Ghost-Human War broke out. And to protect both world which he come to love his wife Almira use the power of her crystal heart necklace to turn him in to the world first halfa. He fought bravely and with honor. About a year and half after the war broke out Almira gave brith to twin sons. One complete ghost the other complete human. The first-born was completely ghost. He had hair white as snow and glowing green eyes. His name was Gabriel, which means devoted to God. That was the same Gabriel who was my ancestor. His brother had black hair and blue eyes. His name was Ezra means helper strong. Now here the part that may shock you. Ezra was your ancestor! We have followed the twin's bloodlines perfectly and Ezra is your ancestor! Don't believe me. Check the family trees behind you. Anyway on the day of their brith the Oracle Hasina made a prophecy. That each child would sever and protect their own kind and one day they're direct descended would surface in time to stop history from repeating themselves. Gabriel decanted would be born a halfa and Ezra would become a half through human magic of science. The two would become a force that would save both world form the worst fate manageable. By combing forces. I know this is a lot to take in. But it's all true. Please tell me what we should do?" asked Danielle
He started at her in disbelief. They share a common ancestor? After 1100 years they could still have kids and a life for the blood had change by now. He looked into his heart and said. "I want to save the world from destruction. And for the two worlds to be one again. What ever Fate and Destiny have in store for us we'll face together. I love you and my family and friends too much to let them get hurt by a war that worse then WWII. So lets do it!" he cried.
"Yes let do it!" she smiled as they kissed.
"Get a room you two!" cried Vlad. But he smiled at the two lovers. He knew that this was only the beginning of something much bigger than anyone could image.
