Reviews corner

Nathair1: yeah, Spectra isn't really a favorite of mine. I tried to think of a video game name that would fit Danny's status and new appearance. A hint to the later part of the chapter. Walker is seriously stubborn and he never really learns. Yeah, it was always planned that Danny reach this point because of Spectra. Also, I have plans for the anger thing, but that would be spoilers. Yeah, I put myself in Danny's shoes when it came to how Jazz forced this onto him and I would not like it either. She is way too pushy and her know-it-all attitude doesn't help win her any favors. Some people do need therapy but it has to be their choice. Forcing him into it was only going to frustrate him more, especially since he has a lot to deal with already. Wings will be dealt with soon, as well as his suit. He needs his energy. And you will find out whose realm he ended up in, in this chapter. I know Johnny will be pissed, but if I add her, it will be his fault

Daniel6: I know the phrase is "rubbing salt on the wound" I changed it to pepper purposefully since I think it would sting more. Not going to try it but the point is there. Aragon will get what's coming to him. I plan on it

Zeckromizder: glad you like how I am making this story. Hope you continue to like it. And you will find out whose realm he ended up in.

Dragonrule: you'll find out in this chapter

Ghust95: are you willing to bet your money?! Anyway, too bad Halloween has already passed, but the way I set things up, I just wasn't going to make it for the holiday

Arraia: updated

DJ Rodriguez: yeah, Danny had a very bad week with everything that happened. But he did get some fun bits with Desiree and Ember. I had planned on Desiree's and Danny's date for some time and I'm glad you liked it so much. Dany doesn't have a map since this was his first time in the ghost zone and he was dead tired from flying for hours. He will be getting better soon. And you will find out whose realm he entered in this chapter Aragon will get what is coming to him but I have to keep him in character for the most part.

Fallen-Ryu: yeah, Danny has a lot on his plate and he is having trouble handling it. But now Danny's powers will grow and you will see how they grow and what he will be able to do.

Wrightdylen21: you will have to find out in this chapter

Ryu wolf: thanks

DJTimmer: I was originally just going to do a brief summary of the episodes but it ended up being good portions of key moments of the episodes. I like how it came out, though. And you will find out whose lair he fell into in this chapter

Ryavrel: yeah, I wanted to take Sam out of the equation and things just went on from there. I wanted the dragon parts of Danny to take time and now part of it is out. Thanks for liking this fic and hope you continue to like it

ArashiNokitsune: you will find out whose realm he ended up in, in this chapter. And honestly, Spectra and Bertrand got off easy with the amount of power Danny displayed.

Ryuofhi99: you'll see how your bet plays out in this chapter.

Issei Lucifer: so do I. and I can't have all of his powers come out at once. And he was inside a building, pretty sure his ghostly wail would destroy the place.

HulkMac21: I know you wanted it on your B-day, but I had other matters that required my attention. Life and all that. But I can give you the next best thing. A chapter the day after it. Also happy belated birthday

Chapter 10: Where….?

Valerie was flying through the skies as she was looking for any sign of ghosts so she could take them out. She had been doing nightly patrols as the ghosts tend to come out more when the sun goes down but she was fine with that. Especially since her day job was just that, a day job. She did get night shifts but not that many.

But these past few days had been tiring her out more than before. And that had to do with the fact that there seems to be more ghosts to handle than before. And through all of it, she hadn't seen any sign of the black and white ghost that she has at the top of her wanted list.

"Where are you!?" she grumbled to herself as she put her hoverboard to be stationary in the air. She looked around for any sign of the white hair that usually stood out in the night. But nothing. She let out a sigh as she crossed her arms in frustration. She still wanted to take him down herself but he hadn't shown up in the last few days. And in those few days, she had to deal with more ghosts than she could handle, not that she would admit it.

Not seeing anything, she sat on her board and let her legs dangle over the side. She glared at her wrist as if her burning gaze would cause the ghost detector to catch something that she could take out her frustration on. But after a minute of nothing, she let out a sigh and relaxed a bit. She leaned her elbows on her knees as she looked out onto the city. Her mind was still in the mindset of hunting ghosts but she also let it wander to her normal life.

The loss of her A-lister status, the loss of her ability to buy whatever she wanted when she wanted, and the odd friendship she had with Tucker Foley: The second part of the "loser duo". Though no one could really call them that anymore since everyone knew about the blow-up between them. Despite how everyone knew about it, no one knew why the two broke off their friendship. There were rumors but nothing concrete. Tucke wouldn't tell her anything either yet he did tell her that it was his fault, but that was it.

It must have been big since she still had her friendship with Star and Kwan after she had lost her A-lister status so whatever it was, must be big.

And now that her mind went to that, she had noticed that Danny Fenton hadn't been in school either.

The school had been shut down for about three days in order to fix up the damage before they were allowed back. But Danny hadn't shown up on the first day. Though many didn't come back since they said they didn't get the notice about the school being back up.

She had asked Tucker if he knew anything but all he told her was that he had no clue but that he was probably ok, doing something important.

She laid on her hoverboard as she thought about it. "What could be so important that he had to skip school for several days?" it was then her mind thought about another that hadn't been seen about the same amount of time. She glared as she sat up. "Did that ghost do something to him?!" She didn't feel anger specifically for Danny but at the thought that the ghost wanted to ruin the life of another teen. Feeling a bit more invigorated in hunting down ghosts and destroying them, she hopped up on her board and flew off to find something to shoot at.

It was as she flew over the park that her wrists beeped, signifying that a ghost was detected. She looked at it and followed it to where the ghost was. She lowered down till she was just over a water fountain. She looked around to see any sign of it but so far, nothing. She looked back down at her wrist to see that the signal was gone. "Where did it go?" She flew around the park in search of it as she thought about the other times she had the same thing happen. Many times on her patrol she would get a signal and follow it to a water fountain but as she got closer, it would disappear. She wondered how the ghost would disappear but she would find it one day and take it out. Especially since she found it annoying having to come to a fountain only to not find anything.

She groaned as she figured that this one would be long gone by now and she should continue her patrol.

~Elswhere~

Desiree appeared in a puff of magenta smoke somewhere far away from her current haunt. She let out a sigh as she crossed her arms under her bust. "It has become far too dangerous recently with all these new ghost hunters appearing."

Recently, there has been an influx of ghost hunters coming to Amity Park in search of her kind and it has become more difficult for ghosts to come here without running into some of them. She had heard that there was a bounty placed on Danny's head a couple of days ago but she was pleased to know that he wasn't in town for it but she did wonder what he was up to. But that didn't mean that the hunters didn't aim for any other ghost that they run into. She has had to deal with the Red Huntress, a name the humans gave the hunter after seeing her chase a few low-level ghost animals some time ago. She thought it was amusing that the humans were able to give such a decent name to the female hunter yet they gave her Danny a name like Inviso-bill. She smiled as she thought back to when she brought up the name and the groan that Danny gave her.

She had been able to avoid the Red huntress easily since the hoverboard she used was not that quiet, so anytime the genie heard it, she would teleport to either another of the fountains in town or just away from the area.

Her mind focused on the young Phantom and frowned as she hadn't seen or heard anything about him. She had even teleported to Dora to ask if she had seen anything, yet the dragon princess had said she had not had the chance to go to the human world recently. The fact that Danny hadn't been seen worried Dora but the mature genie told the young princess that panicking about it wouldn't help. Desiree told Dra that she would keep an eye and ear open for anything about him but that from what she could tell, he was still alright.

Desiree had a bit of a connection with the young halfa, thanks to her giving him some of her energy. A little gift in case of emergencies. The connection was just an inkling that Desiree could feel and so far, all she could feel from it was that Danny was resting. But it was so faint that she couldn't tell where he was. It was usually how she found him when he was alone.

Figuring that she should lay low, for now, she lowered herself to the ground and waved her hands in a circle around her as her smoke spiraled around her. Once the smoke cleared, she came out with her chocolate skin color and wearing something a bit more modern. She was wearing a purple tank top, some thin fabric blue pants, a thin waist veil, and some simple slippers. She still had the jewelry she normally had as she still enjoyed having them. She walked out of the alley she was in and onto the street. This was something she started doing to enjoy the human world more while not causing a panic. Not only that but with the amount of power she had now, she could conceal her Ecto signature from the ghost hunter's equipment. She had enough control to conceal it from the general scanners but if they ever got a lock on her specific ecto signature, she would not be able to hide at all.

As she walked, she was reminded why she was vindictive to men. The lustful looks she got from the men she walked past almost made her wave her hands to get them to disappear, but she knew that Danny would not approve of such a thing. His protective nature would not allow it and despite how she may have not cared for the thought of any man, Danny was not just any man.

Danny was the man that had stolen the heart of not only her but Dora as well. And if the rumor that was heard around the ghost zone was to be believed, there might be another. Though, that is just a rumor. Something she would have to look into later on.

She walked into the mall while ignoring the men that were drooling at her appearance. She figured they were like this because of the natural sway of her hips when she walked. It was something she had gained during her time alive and she was not going to try and lose it after so long not being able to use it. Besides, she did find it amusing seeing some of the men being reprimanded by their better halves.

She made it to the household part of the mall to see if there was anything she could find to add to her lair. Some of the new products of the modern time caught her attention so she would occasionally go out to see some of the furniture and get an idea of how to construct it. Sure, her lair still held the old style of an Arabian palace but there were some couches, chairs decorations, and appliances that she had added to it. And she just enjoyed rearranging her home.

After spending a few hours browsing, she decided to leave for now and hope to come back with Danny to see what he would like… for a potential ….future….. Together.

She can't deny it, she looked forward to that as now, she actually had a future with someone dear to her.

As she made her way towards the exit, her good mod soured as she almost bumped into the human she had granted ghost powers during her first meeting with young Phantom.

Tucker looked up from his PDA as he bumped into someone and looked up to see who it was. Only to start drooling at the sight of a beautiful woman. His eyes were level with her bust so his eyes started going up to her face. He flinched though when he saw the scowl on her face. "Um, sorry."

Desiree wanted to say something but thought better of it since he should not remember her fully. It had been months since the event and she did not fully look like she did back then. Choosing not to say anything as she did not want to risk that he recognized her voice, she sidestepped him and left.

Tucker watched as the gorgeous woman left and couldn't help but think she looked awfully familiar. "I know I've seen her before but where?" He walked into the mall with that thought in his head. Even when he made it into the electronics store, his mind kept the woman's image there. It was bugging him to the point of annoyance, even when he saw the newest PDA on the shelf. He grabbed it and looked at the price before thinking about what he had in his wallet. He knew it wasn't enough to pay for it and he knew for a fact that this one didn't have the option to pay in installments. He put it down with tears in his eyes as he had to put down a piece of wonderful tech. He browsed the tech store for a bit more before he left and went to the food court for some food.

He made it to the pizzeria and ordered a couple of slices of all-meat pizza. He would have ordered more but he wanted to save for the PDA he hadn't been able to buy earlier. As he sat at a table, he began to scarf down his meal only to pause as he looked to the other seat and frowned at the fact that it was empty. Usually, Danny and he would fight over some of the pizza before they ended up splitting it. Yet now, despite how he had the pieces all to himself, it just didn't seem that satisfying anymore.

And he had no one to blame but himself.

"I know I'm jealous about him having ghost powers but he doesn't need to take it so seriously."

Despite how Tucker knew that he might have gone a bit too far, he still didn't realize that he had been taking Danny for granted all this time.

Danny had been helping Tucker out for most of their lives while Tucker tended to use Danny as a shield from problems he didn't want to deal with.

Danny had a standing, he knew right from wrong, and despite how sometimes he wanted to just be crazy and use his powers for some personal gains, he had learned that even if you can do something doesn't mean you should. If he did start doing that, he would be no better than Vlad. someone that Tucker knew nothing about.

Tucker on the other hand didn't see a problem with using what you had to get something you wanted. Sure he also knew right from wrong, but he focused more on his own benefit, rather than the betterment of others.

Tucker, didn't see that.

He wondered what Danny could be doing at the moment since he hadn't seen him in school recently. He had covered for Danny from Jazz by saying that he is just staying at his place since it seemed that something happened between the two. She said that she expected this after what she did and this caught his interest but he didn't delve too deep into it. He figured that he might gain some favor back from Danny by helping but he did wonder what he was doing.

Tucker took a bite out of his pizza before he got up from his seat and began to leave. His mood was soured thinking about the broken friendship between him and Danny.

He came back to pick up the box that had the rest of the pizza and began to eat it as he left.

~Fenton household~

Jazz came into the house and called out. "I'm home!" she didn't expect an answer back as her parents were once again, working on something.

They had been working more after the bounty placed on the black and white ghost that has been seen around town. Her father had tried to catch the ghost saying he would tear it apart molecule by molecule. But he hadn't found the ghost so he came home disheartened. It was after that, he began to work on other things.

Jazz made her way upstairs and looked into Danny's room to see that he still hadn't come back from Tucker's. She sighed as she walked to her room and sat at her desk. She thought about the thing that caused Danny to distance himself from her. "I was only trying to help. His grades have been dropping and his social life is so limited that he barely has any friends. He doesn't talk to me or mom and all this is just going to lead him into a life of misery."

She didn't see a problem with talking to a therapist but she figured that she should have asked Danny if he wanted to take part in it. It's just that she knew that if she asked him, he would immediately go against it and not listen to anything she says. "But he needs an outlet, he can't just bottle everything inside and just think it will all be ok." She moved over to her bookshelf and pulled out a book about Teen psychology. She read it to see if there was anything in it that would tell her what to do. So far, it was everything that she knew already. She needed to push harder for Danny to get help. "Maybe I need to try a bit harder to get Danny some help. But Miss Spectra resigned after spirit week. I should have gotten one of her business cards so I could call her when I wanted her help."

She put the book down and sighed as she thought about what to say to Danny next time. "Maybe I could be his therapist and we can talk about what's bothering him." she smiled as she had new vigor at helping her brother. With that, she began to read the book on teen psychology to know how to help him.

~Ghost Zone~

Danny felt drained. His mind came back to consciousness and immediately remembered what had happened before he fell unconscious. He was in the back by a flying rock and fell unconscious after hours of flying in circles. And the last thing he remembered was that there was a figure coming towards him.

With his eyes still closed he did a mental checklist of his body. 'Legs… check. Arms….. Check. Still got all my fingers and toes. …wings….. *sigh* check.'

Without his control, his wings fluttered a bit on the soft floor he was on.

'Ok, at least I know I didn't fall into Skulker's realm.' after his mind calmed down a bit, he realized something else. There was a wet rag on his forehead. Finally choosing to open his eyes, he saw that he was in a room that looked like it was from an ancient time. He sat up and looked to his left to see an opening that led to a garden with pillars adorning the sides of the open wall. He knew he had seen this type of architecture before but he couldn't pace it. "I should really pay attention more to ancient history." He looked down and saw that he was in his human, wings, and everything. Sighing, he got up from the large bed and stumbled a bit as his feet hit the ground. He walked out into the garden in order to find out where he was. He looked around at the garden and saw that there was a hedge doorway. Without having a view of the top, which was excessively tall, he could tell it was one of those hedge mazes. He would have loved to try it out, but there were growls and roars coming from it and he did not want to find out what made them. He looked back to the building that he was just in and could finally tell what kind of design it was. He had seen some movies with the design and he wondered where in the ghost zone he was.

"I see that you have finally woken up, young one."

Danny spun to the side, where the voice came from and his eyes went wide.

Sitting on a stone bench was a massive ghost woman, with blue skin, flaming pink hair that cascaded down her back, and FOUR ARMS. she was wearing a toga that hung loss in her front and had a book in one of her hands, signifying that she was reading just before he came here.

"Uh…" The ghost woman stood up, towering over him and he felt very tiny now. He was about to get into a stance to defend himself till…

"It is good that you are well enough to stand. I was worried about you since you had been unconscious for about a week. I had been watching over you ever since you crashed into my realm.

Danny shook his head as he cried out. "A week!? Why was I out for a week!?" his mind was going crazy over the knowledge he had been out for so long but there was also another question he had. He was thankful to her for watching over him and not wanting to destroy him or anything but he had to know. "And who are you?"

The woman smiled as she thought it was amusing to see him panic a bit. Keeping her welcoming attitude, she answered. "I am Pandora, and welcome, Young one, to my lair."

~elsewhere~

"Personal analysis Entry # 43. So far my attempts at coercing young Danial to join me have been fruitless. The boy is too stubborn and narrow-minded to see the potential benefits he has in using his powers for personal gain. To rule over all around him. No doubt thanks to whatever genetic faults he gained from his idiot father. Though… the potential he shows, which he clearly achieved from Maddie, outweighs the faults."

Vlad was pacing back and forth in front of his computer as he was recording some of his thoughts for future reference or notes

He was currently in a lab he had set up in Amity Park for a few projects that required him to be close to the younger halfa.

"But I must admit that after the last attempt failing, I have come to realize that I must take more drastic measures if I wish to have the son I truly deserve. Close personal log."

The computer stopped the recording and sent the file into a folder labeled "personal notes".

Vlad paused his pacing before he turned away from the computer and began to order. "Bring up recording 555.674."

A video of Danny fighting a couple of ecto bears was brought up. Danny brought his arms into an X formation before thrusting his arms out, sending a blast at the two bears at his side

"Freeze, zoom in, analyze."

The computer did as asked and began to scan the image before pointing out key points of his body that showed ecto concentration.

"Bring up recording 654-32."

Another video appeared of Danny doing a leg sweep to Skuler.

"Freeze, zoom in, analyze."

The computer did as instructed, this time focusing on movement and flexibility.

Vlad did this several times and each time, he grew more frustrated. After another few, he closed them and spoke to his computer. "Record, research log #198."

{recording, sweetness.}

"I have done extensive analysis on Young Daniel's form yet for some unknown reason, I cannot lock onto key factors! With all the data I was able to obtain thanks to Valerie's inbuilt recording and samples I myself have been able to acquire, you would think my work would be closer to completion. But there is something about the boy that caused all my results to end in failure." He began to walk through the hall with the recording continuing thanks to his Maddie AI. "After months of research, I was able to get a potential landmark in my work." He stopped in front of a wall before pressing his hand on it and channeling his ecto energy to activate the machinery to move the wall to the side. He took a few steps forward and looked up at a tank. "Yet, thanks to me having to remove some unknown factor, the result was not what I expected… or wanted. Even if the methods of our creation were different, my general genetic ghostly makeup should have helped but all it did was show me that there is a variable he has that I do not." He looked at the thing floating in the tank's liquid and scoffed. "Apparently, removing this unknown variable has caused the removal of the chromosome. Despite this, the fact that it has lasted this long must mean something. Shutting down the accelerated aging might also be a reason but I lack enough material to study. Regardless, I might have a use for this thing, which is why I haven't destroyed it yet." he pressed a few keys to check on the vitals of the subject. So far they have remained stable but he was sure that if he released it as it was now, it would dissolve just like the rest of them.

He moved away from the tank and spoke a command. "Section this to personal research side notes" He waited for the beep to signify that it had done as asked. "It has been days since Danial appeared in town and so far, Valerie has done well enough against the weak low-level ghosts. I do not know where the young boy has gone but for now, I put my research on hold since I have no new video research to use. I still do not know the component that I had removed as I have never seen something like it before but I dare not do the same process that led to this failure." He turned away from the tank as he continued to think out loud. "My current scheme to antagonize the boy is useless now since the boy is nowhere to be found. What purpose is there in setting up a bounty if the bounty is not here to be obtained." He paused and looked behind him at the tank and sighed. "I wanted to just dissolve this subject in order to research the material, but you never know. I might find some use for it later on." he turned away as the wall began to close again

The doors closed as the subject in the tank had its long black hair waver around it before all went dark

End of chapter

Sorry for this chapter being so short but it is kind of a filler

Well, many of you were right. But then again, I'm pretty sure that the ending of the last chapter was a dead giveaway

Now the last bit was added because I felt that it was time I added her to the story. Especially since she is one of my favorite characters. Do I need to say who it is?

But I do have a question. How old should I make her? I have had the thought of her being either younger, canon age, or Danny's age. Depending on how I make her, the interaction and future events will be changed to fit her age.

This DOES NOT mean I am adding her to the harem. I would like your opinion on the age on general thoughts, not pairing potential. Danny already has Dora and Desiree and as of this moment, those are the only ones that I planned out. Ember is a MAYBE, I can still have her as just a close friend. Kitty is an UNKOWN, as she still has Johnny and despite how I don't like him, I'm not just going to say "oh, Kitty likes Danny, they get together, that's it".

However, for the newcomer that was hinted at the beginning, I don't mind your opinion on the relationship she would have with Danny(daughter, sister, cousin, etc). I don't mind if you tell me, I'm just telling you that I don't have any plans for her to join the harem. I don't want to get any hopes up. That's why.

And me asking for the age also helps. Should I make her younger, like child-like young, which would be a good family dynamic? Should I make her canon age, which would be an apprentice-type/sister dynamic? Or should I make her Danny's age, which would be like a partner/ twin/ etc dynamic?

It will be a bit before she pops up so you have a chance and I might make a poll for it but I will let you know about it in the next chapter.

Now for this chapter in general

This chapter was more to show the other characters and what they were doing while Danny was away. I wanted to add Dora but with how Aragon is, I'm pretty sure she wouldn't have much to do. And there was a scene of what she did in the last chapter so that should work for now.

Also gave an explanation of how Desiree was able to stay away from Valerie and her equipment. Desiree is a very powerful ghost but her magic is very flexible so I don't think it is out of the question that she could hide herself.

I also got through a few more episodes in this like the "million-dollar ghost". I think I can get away with this since it has been months since Danny started and if I recall, Vlad said "it's taken months" when he takes about the clone. Yet Danny is still a freshman during that time. So, everything happens fast and not a lot of time goes by in the show. Also, I am rearranging the episodes because I can.

I will be adding some original content soon but I will still have some episodes sprinkled in here. One of which is Pariah Dark. cause that fight is a big one that I enjoyed. I will not say what other episodes I plan on adding so you will have to wait and find out.

But I must say that it will be some time before I get to the next chapter since I want to go to my other fics. So please be patient. Please

Flames will be ignored.
