On the next day.
Danny was patrolling alone as usually on Monday. The sky was midnight blue and the stars were shining, drawing beautiful images of light. And there was the sound of a hover board.
Wait, what?
Danny stopped mid-air, looked around and saw the source of the sound. was fast approaching, bearing a look of determination but no weapons which surprised the halfa.
"There you are. I was searching for you since yesterday. I wanted to ask you some things."
Danny was caught off-guard by that statement, "Oh? Ok. Shoot."
Valerie nodded and mentioned to the young prince to follow her to an abandoned building.
"Ok first question. Is Dani your clone?"
Danny nodded. He expected her to figure that out sooner or later.
"So that means that you are half alive too?"
Danny nodded again. Why else his clone would be a halfa?
"I think I know who are you." Danny tensed. What would she do with that information.
"And what are you going to do about it?" Danny hoped with his heart and core that she won't hunt him in human form too.
"I will adapt to it."
Danny lifted a questioning eyebrow.
"I will become an ally to you or just stop hunting you."
Danny sighed in relief, "So who do you think I am?"
Valerie smiled mischievously under her visor, "My ex-boyfriend."
"Wha- Which one? Danny Fenton or Kwan?"
Valerie's face betrayed her shock, "How did- Danny?"
The while-haired teen smiled, nodded and transformed in his human half, "You must be wondering how I know who are you. Well I kind of knew even before Pariah attacked." Danny smiled sheepishly and rubbed his neck in his favourite gesture which screamed 'I am nervous'.
"Oh."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Before Danny could open his mouth, his ghost sense went off. So Valerie's did as well. Danny send a meaningful look towards her, transformed in his ghost half and followed the ecto-signature he felt with the Red Huntress hot on his tail. It led them to Casper High. You could hear the the Fenton RV coming closer and the young prince couldn't help but hope that it was his mum driving the huge machine.
"Let's go inside. So we can get to the ghost first if it's dad."
"You still have a lot of explaining to do." Valerie said while the halfa phased them in the school.
"Funny. I have been hearing that all weekend."
Valerie smirked, "Not my fault." She said when they took a turn towards the chemistry laboratory.
Inside they saw mas destruction. And in the middle of it was a ghost who looked like Technus but he didn't have glasses so his purple eyes were visible. He wore gloves, black boots, black belt, some strange clothes and a lab coat.
"Who are you."
The ghost stared at Danny and said, "So you are new prince. I thought that you were taller. You will have to excuse me, your highness, but I am still working on my teleportation."
Danny was speechless. Who was that ghost and how die he knew about him being the unofficial ghost king, "How...?"
"How do I know? Easy - rumours travel faster than time flows. Though only I was brave enough to see if they were true."
Valerie was too shocked, by that point, to even make a sound, let alone raise her weapon.
"My name is Dr. Stein by the way." After Stein said that he ported to his lair. Moments later Jack Fenton burst in the room. Danny and Valerie looked at each other.
"You still have a of to explain."
*groan* "Why is that I hear this for three days in row."
"Three days?"
"It's ten minutes past midnight."
Valerie's eyes widen, "Dad will kill me. Later Danny."
"Later Red." After that both teens left, ignoring Jack.
"Freeze ghost." He cried after the halfa.
"Um... No thanks. I have frozen once. It wasn't a good experience."
Before Jack could say anything else, Danny Phantom was gone.
Next day.
After school the halfa took Sam, Tucker and Valerie to his house to study for tomorrow's Literature test and he wanted to get a mark different from F or D.
"Good thing that we have only Literature tomorrow. I have yet to tell you about my trip two days ago." Danny said.
Ha and his friends were in the halfa's room, their bags next to the bed and the teens themselves were on the bed with books in hands.
"It's definitely quiet since your trip Danny."
"And I have no idea why. Unless..." Danny shook his head, "Now isn't the time to think about these things. We have a test to study for." Said the young prince while writing down the answer to his second question.
The next hour and half went with the four teens studying in their own way and testing each other.
"I believe that we are done for now." Said Valerie who had the highest mark in the class.
"Let's get Jazz and mum then." Danny was about to get up from his bed when Sam added, "What about Valerie? You can't seriously tell me that you will tell her about you... what."
Danny looked at Sam and facepalmed.
"I already know about Danny being a halfa and all Sam." Valerie interrupted Sam from screaming at Danny.
Said boy sent a look of gratitude towards the huntress.
Insert a Sponge Bob panel saying five minutes later.
When Danny came back with his sister and mother Valerie had told Sam and Tucker how she found out that Danny was a halfa so they both had blank expression. While Danny had explained almost the same thing to the people he brought with him.
"So as I told you, I am going to tell you about the meeting in the Ghost Zone. The GZ Conference Hall is an enormous building with many rooms, who have different size and form. The one we were in had the shape of a circle and fourteen seats for mostly ghosts I know. The only one I didn't knew was Cosmos. Frostbite brought up the fight between me and Pariah Dark. Or better yet- the consequences."
Sam and Tucker eyed the halfa carefully and the goth gasped while the techno-geek's eyes widen while Valerie caught up a second later.
"And you agreed to that?" Asked Sam furiously.
"I had no choice. It was either me or him. And you know just as well as me that he will try to do the same thing again and succeed this time. I cannot allow that to happen."
"Do you have to do it now!? Asked Valerie, to the shock of everyone in the room. Her answer was nod.
Sadly only Danny's mum hadn't understood what the teens were talking about, "What do you mean?"
"Mom I am going be the new ghost king."
