Fable of a Phantom
Meet the Greek Goddess
When we last left off, Skulker attacked Danny and Star. Danny was hit by a null ray which disrupted his ghosts powers and left him with nothing but his magic powers. However due to the limitation of his mana, he had to end it quickly. Using the last of his energy, he formed a mana bow and arrow and hit Skulker directly on the chest. After defeating Skulker, Star found out that Danny Fenton was actually Danny Phantom. Being impressed with his bravery and kindness, she was able to work up enough courage to confess her feelings for Danny. All the other girls arrive to the scene only to find Star and Danny kissing. Little did they know that someone else was watching the entire scene.
Park
"I can't believe that Star likes Danny Fenton?" cried Paulina as she ran away from the scene. Luckily for Danny, Paulina missed the entire scene of him transforming.
"Star? What did you just say?" asked Danny. He couldn't believe that Star actually confessed to him. It's only been one day since he actually interacted with her but she really felt that way about him.
"I-I...said I love you Danny." confessed Star as she got closer to Danny and kissed him again. Danny would've tried to stop but he was covered in bruises and lacked the strength to do so.
Just then Sam and Tucker finally caught up to the group of ghosts that were still watching the scene.
"Man! Where is Danny? He was suppose to get our lunch 20 minutes ago!"cried Tucker as he was gasping for breath. Sam then saw the four girls and went over to them to see what was wrong.
"Hey guys, what are you all doing?" asked Sam as she looked over to the group. All four of them had lifeless eyes but then Kitty pointed to the real action at the park. Sam turned her head to see that Danny was kissing Star and he wasn't rejecting it. Sam just popped out an angry vein and punched the side of a garbage can leaving a fist mark. Tucker finally got enough air and looked over to see that Danny was kissing Star. Tucker just flopped to the ground with jealousy with all the things that happened all day.
After a while, Star and Danny finally let go of each other and stared right into each other's eyes. At this point they had no regrets or blushes to share.
"Uh...whoa. Sorry, it's just...that was some kiss. Star...I really...don't know if I can go through with this. I mean...you're really beautiful but...I don't want you to get hurt." confessed Danny as he tried to back away from her.
"Danny, I don't care about any danger. I'll learn self defence, or any other martial arts. I'll even hire bodyguards...anything to be with you." declared Star as she went over and hugged Danny from the back.
"But what about your status? Being with me, you'll lose your right to stay with the A list kids." countered Danny.
"They...don't mean anything to me. Right now, you're everything I ever needed." said Star as she hugged him tighter. Danny was able to tell that she hesitated saying that since the A list kids were the only ones she was ever friend's with. Now for her to give them up, it was difficult.
"Can you tell me again why we're just standing here watching?" asked Tucker. All the girls then immediately turned to Tucker with flames in their eyes and realised...he was right. Why are they just standing there? All the girls then immediately ran towards the two and left Tucker behind.
"Danny!" yelled all the girls. Star quickly noticed the girls and let go of Danny. The girls then quickly pushed Star to the side and went over to Danny to look at his wounds and bruises.
"Danny, what happened here?" asked Sam as she tried to help Danny walk.
"Oh uh...a ghost attacked and it got me really good." groaned Danny as he was holding his side.
"We'll get you to doctor right away. And what about you Star? Did you get hurt or anything?" asked Kitty. Even thought Star made moves on the guy that Kitty liked, she was still kind enough to care for her friend.
"I'm fine. Danny was protecting me the entire time." said Star. They were about to leave when all of sudden, they heard a very annoying noise.
"BEWARE!" yelled a blue ghost wearing overalls and blue gloves with a beanie hat. As soon as they heard that sound, everyone just face palmed themselves except for Star who was surprised at the sight of the ghost.
"With the aid of my very special box! I shall bring stackable, packable doom to you all! BEWARE!...ooohoo that was a good one." yelled the box ghost as he took out a mail box.
"Guys! We need to run, that ghost has a weapon!" worried Star. Everyone then gave Star a motionless face and just decided to walk on.
"Fools! You may not fear me now, but you will face the power of my mail box of misfortune!" cried the Box ghost as he opened the mail box and sent a dozen envelopes flying towards them.
"You guys! Watch out!" yelled Star as she tried to escape but the group was standing still as the envelopes were flying towards them. After a few seconds the envelope finally hit the group but they bounced off with ease, barely hurting. One was finally able to brush itself next to Danny's hand, giving him a paper cut.
"Oh no...I'm hurt." mocked Danny.
"Star, there's nothing to worry about. This ghost isn't really that threatening. I'm sure you should've known that from the way he say's beware." said Amber.
"I guess so." agreed Star. The group then decided to head back and get some rest after all that happened.
"HEY! Don't just leave me here! With my mail box of doom, you will never get your packages in time!" cried Box ghost but by then everyone was gone. "Fine! Run for today but I will get you soon enough!". The box ghost then finally flew off.
Few days later
Casper High
All the tests were finally complete and all that was left was Star's make up test. All the girls were finally finished and began comparing their test results on the bench outside of school. No ones surprise, Desiree was able to get all A's. Ember did her best but the best she could get was a B+. Kitty and Dora were able to work hard together to get all A's as well. They already knew that Danny got all A's as well but the more important question for them was how well Star did for her test.
After a while, they finally noticed that Star finally came out with all of her papers. Desiree and Ember didn't really care much for Star's grade but they had something else to discuss as well. Kitty and Dora however were really eager to see what Star was able to get. Star then finally approached the girls with her paper.
"So...how did it go?" asked Kitty. Star had tried really hard to get the grades that she was expecting and really didn't want her to fail. Kitty, Dora and Star made a great friendship doing their best to help each other. Star then finally placed her paper on the table and revealed all of her grades. It was all A's!
"We did it!" cheered Star as she was really happy about the grade she got. Kitty and Dora then went up to her and hugged her, congratulating Star for her achievement.
"Wrong, you did it. You got great grades!" cheered Kitty as she finally let go of Star.
"But I wouldn't have been able to do it, if it weren't for you guys and...Danny." thanked Star as she remembered how Danny was there to help her and protect her in her time of need. But then all the other girls also remember that little scene that Danny and Star had which made Ember and Desiree stand up. They then went over to Star and made her sit down.
"Okay Star, we need to talk." said Desera.
"Yeah, about that incident few days ago." said Amber. Star was getting pretty nervous since she knew that this was gonna happen sooner or later. She knew that Desera, Amber, Katherine and Dorothy all liked Danny.
"So uh...what do you want to know?" asked Star. Desiree and Ember just looked at each other and sighed as they knew what they had to do.
"Okay, now we would be lying if we didn't say that we love Danny as well. But the competition is just getting out of hand now." confessed Desera. With four girls and a new addition to the group, it was time they had to discuss this with each other.
"Yeah, the fact is we all love him but only one of us will be with him in the end." admitted Amber. Star was actually a bit confused of the conversation that they were actually having. She thought that they were actually going to tell her to give up on him but instead they were taking it well.
"I know...the truth is with you girls I don't stand a chance. I thought that I should at least let him know how I felt." confessed Star. Kitty and Dorothy then went over to Star and sat next to her.
"Star, you don't know that yet. I can't deny that some of us are definitely gonna be hurt but we don't who it will be yet. Danny might even pick you amongst us." said Kitty.
"That's right, the truth is...you have a good chance as the rest of us. We're not gonna try to make you back off from Danny but allow you to join in." said Dorothy.
"So...you guys are okay with me loving Danny?" asked Star.
"Yes we are but don't forget..." said Desera.
"We're not gonna give up easily!" said the girls in Unison. Star then stood up and hugged the girls.
"So this is where you've been the entire time." said a familiar voice. The girls then turned around to see A list kids. Paulina, Dash and Kwan.
"Star! What are you doing with them?" asked Paulina in an annoyed tone.
"I'm just hanging out with them." replied Star.
"With them?! How come you're not hanging out with your real friends?" questioned Paulina.
"I am. I am hanging out with my real friends. Friends that actually care for me and not my money." said Star.
"Star what are you talking about? Don't hang out with those hot losers." demanded Dash as he looked over to see that all the girls were really pretty.
"Star! If you don't get over here right now, you're no longer part of the A list!" said Paulina. Kitty and Dorothy then looked over to Star who was finally making up her mind.
"Fine." cried Star. Everyone then turned to Star with a surprise look.
"So you've finally come to your senses?" asked Dash.
"Yeah, I have. I would rather quit being an A list kid than lose my friends. My real friends." answered Star as she went over to Kitty and Dora.
"Hold it!" yelled Dash as he went over to grab Star's hand but just as he was getting close, Amber quickly stepped in and grabbed Dash's arm before it reached Star.
"You've heard her. She's made up her mind." Amber said with a cold tone scaring the crap out of Dash. Dash quickly backed off and started rubbing his arm.
"You're gonna regret this." said Paulina as she walked off with Dash and Kwan.
"With friends like you guys I doubt it." said Star as she got a group hug again.
"Well now that I'm part of the competition, is there anything I should know?" asked Star.
"Well I guess we should be honest. The one thing I should let you know is that we all know about Danny's other side as well." confessed Kitty.
"You mean you knew this entire time?" questioned Star.
"Yeah, the truth is, he saved us from a lot of ghosts in the past and that's how we were able to meet." said Desiree. Star was finally able to feel more comfortable since she finally felt accepted by the girls.
"Oh speaking of which, where is Danny?" asked Star since she didn't see Danny all day. They were actually a bit distant after the confession.
"Oh I think he was taking care of the box ghost for the seventh time today." answered Desiree.
"Box ghost?" asked Star.
"You know that ghost that tried to attack us with the envelopes?" said Dora trying to help Star remember the ghost.
"Ohhhh...you mean the ghost with the overalls?" asked Star.
"Yep, he's the one. He's been showing more than usual." responded Amber.
Danny/Sam/Tucker
"Seriously, we've been taking down the box ghost all day. Can't he give it a rest?" groaned Tucker.
"Well he's attacked seven times and we sent him back to the ghost zone seven times. I think he finally got the message." replied Danny until a shadow covered all three of them.
"Maybe you should write it down." commented Sam as they look over to see the box ghost with yet another box. A lunch box.
"Behold! The lunch box of doom!" yelled the Box ghost only to spew out a thermos of soup with a purple design.
"Hey bringing your own thermos to our battles now? You know you'd be saving us a lot of time if could just show up inside it." advised Danny.
"Now! Taste your multi grain doom!" yelled the Box ghost as he raised his lunch box to the sky. Just then a load of sandwiches were flying out of the lunch box flying everywhere. Tucker, Sam and Danny caught a sandwich each and took a bite out of it. Everyone else was actually cheering for the box ghost thinking he brought free samples.
"Hey, I gotta say it's not bad but it could use a bit more flavouring." said Danny.
"You wouldn't happen to have any mustard of doom on ya, would ya?" asked Tucker.
"Doh!" cried the box ghost as he face palmed himself and flew off.
"Will there ever be a time where he's actually a threat?" asked Danny. Tucker and Sam then looked over to Danny and started laughing.
"Nah." said all three of them in unison. They then enjoyed their sandwiches and carried on with their day.
The next day, it was an official picnic day at Amity Park. All families and friends were called over to enjoy a wonderful picnic with their friends and families. Danny was getting ready to leave when all of a sudden his phone started ringing.
"Hello?" answered Danny.
"Oh Danny, it's me Star." replied Star.
"Oh hey Star what's up?" asked Danny.
"Well...I was wondering if...I could join you for picnic day." asked Star which actually confused Danny.
"Wouldn't you rather spend picnic day with your family?" asked Danny.
"Oh you see, my parents are too busy working abroad so they can't join in. I didn't really have anything else to do so I thought I could ask you but if you don't want me too, then it's fine." said Star with a bit of disappointment.
"Hey don't worry about it. You can come over. My parents and I are gonna be at the park in a few minutes. Do you want me to come and pick you up?" asked Danny.
"Oh really? Thanks Danny. You don't need to pick me up. I'll try and get their as soon as I can." replied Star.
"Okay then, guess I'll see you in a few." said Danny.
"Sure bye Danny." said Star as she hung up the phone. Danny then placed his phone in his pocket and got ready to leave until his ghost sense kicked in and alerted him of a ghost.
"What are you guys doing here?" asked Danny to look around.
"Guess we really can't fool you." replied Ember. Just then the girls all became visible and got near Danny.
"We heard that it was picnic day and wondered if we could join you." said Kitty.
"Wait, all of you?" asked Danny. The girls then nodded their heads and they closer to Danny with puppy dog eyes. "Okay, fine. My parents are gonna setup at the park in 10 minutes, you guys can meet up there." said Danny causing all the girls to cheer and fly off to get ready.
"This is gonna be such a difficult day." said Danny as he finally left and headed for the park.
At the Park, Danny finally arrived to the park. He finally met up with his family to see that his mom was wearing a pair of red high heels. His dad was attempting to turn on his grill with no success and Jazz was just reading her book near the Fenton RV. Danny finally saw Sam and Tucker and decided to chill out with them.
Sam was finally enjoying her fruit salad and Tucker was munching on his burger. Danny packed himself a ham sandwich ready to enjoy but then he noticed his mom walking their way.
"Danny, you kids can come eat with us you know." offered Maddie but just as she finished, Jack blew up the grill. Jazz just covered her face with her book to avoid any embarrassment.
"Uh...we're fine here mom. And by fine I mean both safer and less humiliated." said Danny.
"Nice shoes miss Fenton." complimented Sam as she looked at the high heels that Danny's mom was wearing.
"Oh thank you Sam. I got em free from some caterer at the mall who was giving away free samples. They pinch my feet a bit but being a fashion icon sometimes requires a little pain." said Maddie.
"I hear that. Word up miss Fenton." said Tucker as he laid back on the grass. Maddie then walked back to Jack to tend his burns from the explosion.
"So Danny what took you so long?" asked Sam as she started eating her salad.
"Oh just got a few calls." replied Danny as he carried on eating his sandwich.
"Oh you mean by Star?" said Tucker as he started making kissy faces which made Danny blush in embarrassment and Sam just feel annoyed. Danny didn't answer and just looked away, making Tucker realise that he was actually right. "Wait are you serious? She called you?!"
Star had arrived to the park and was carrying a picnic basket full of sandwiches and drinks for Danny. She was feeling really excited since this felt like a date for her, since she thought it was a good opportunity to hang out Danny and get to know him more since he was avoiding her. She finally saw Danny but she also saw how Danny was with Sam and Tucker.
"Oh no...I didn't expect them." said Star as she tried to get in closer but then she started over hearing the conversation.
"Yeah...she wanted to...hang out with me. For the picnic." replied Danny which just annoyed Sam completely.
"What?! Danny this is supposed to be just us, your friends." argued Sam.
"Sam, she is my friend. Besides her family are too busy with other affairs so why not let her join?" asked Danny.
"More like your girlfriend." teased Tucker getting a glare from both Danny and Sam but Star blushed at the thought of being his girlfriend. Tucker just turned his head and started awkwardly whistling to avoid the death glare.
"Danny you've only known her for a few days now and she only confessed to you because she found out that you were Danny Phantom. Don't you get it? She doesn't like you, she only likes the ghost side of you." argued Sam. Star feeling really hurt started welling up tears in her eyes and started walking away.
"Sam...I know you don't like her. I know you don't trust her but...I can tell the truth about her. When I first saw her, I could see the hardships and pain she was carrying. Her heart was able to give me all the truth I needed to know." replied Danny which surprised both Sam and Tucker. Star immediately stopped and carried on listening.
"Her heart?" asked Tucker.
"Do you guys remember when you first visited Albion? When you met the Guild master?" asked Danny. Sam and Tucker then started remembering the location of where Danny was training since a young age. They also remembered the old man who was apparently Danny's tutor for certain skills.
"You mean the bald old guy who made you fight whisper?" asked Tucker.
"Yeah him. When he first met you guys, he didn't trust you at all. It was then he used a technique called "Silent Serene heart." It allows you to hear the heart of any other person and let them know where you are and how they're feeling. I've been using this technique to find out the truth and Star was definitely telling the truth. She really does love me." answered Danny shocking Sam and Tucker. Star then proceeded to wipe her tears.
"You're telling me that ability of yours helped you know that she was telling the truth? That is so cool!" complimented Tucker.
"Tucker!" yelled Sam since she didn't want this conversation carrying on.
"More importantly, how are you gonna respond to her?" asked Tucker which made Sam curious. Danny was also thinking about the answer for the past couple of days but there was nothing he could say. Star also tried to get in close because she really wanted to now how Danny felt about her.
"I don't know. I never believed that anyone would actually fall in love with me. I just don't know if I can be in relationship without endangering them. I thought maybe it could work out but you guys saw what happens when you're with me. I'm nothing but trouble." said Danny as he looked to the sky. Tucker then looked over to Sam who was looking away to hide her blush since she knew she fell in love with Danny when he saved her from the Lunch Lady. Star was a bit disappointed in the answer since she really wanted Danny to love her.
"Well, just be honest with your feelings Danny. I know you feel pressured about giving her a reply but it won't mean anything unless you really mean it." advised Tucker as he placed his hand on Danny's shoulder. Danny then smiled and realised that Tucker was right.
"Thanks' buddy. I really needed that." thanked Danny.
"No problem. By the way, you still haven't told us how you actually got to Albion to begin with." asked Tucker. Danny then remembered that he was right, he did promised to tell them the story soon but that was a while ago.
"Right sorry guys, I guess I'll..." said Danny only be cut off by a ….."BEWARE!" by the box ghost.
"(Sigh) Sigh and put down my sandwich." said Danny as he turned to the box ghost who was actually red this time. His skin and overalls actually turned into crimson red.
"Behold! THE BOX OF..." showed the box ghost. A box with a green skull with fangs. The lock had a P shape with snake marks from the side.
"Pandora?" questioned Sam after looking at the design of the box. Tucker and Danny just looked at each other in confusion.
"Pan whata?" asked Tucker and Danny in unison.
"Pandora! The ancient Greek legend." answered Sam. Danny and Tucker were just looking at Sam with confused looks. Sam just sighed and face palmed herself. She then quickly took out a book of Greek mythology from her bag and showed it to the two.
"Greek mythology says that Pandora had a box which contained all the worlds evil! I didn't think it was real!" said Sam as she looked over to the box again.
"Well it looks real to me. Figures that an evil box is just floating around in the ghost zone." said Tucker as he looked over to the box again.
"Danny, that box should never be opened!" said Sam as she grabbed Danny's shirt.
"You mean like this?! CREATURES OF THE NIGHT, UNLEASH MY FRIGHT! Hehe...I'm so totally a poet." yelled the box ghost as he opened Pandora's box which unleashed a horde of bats. The hordes of bat then started flying around and terrorising the people in the park. Star quickly managed to hit some of the bats away with her picnic basket and ran up to Danny.
"Star?! What are you doing here?" asked Danny.
"Well you said I could join you but then...the bats arrived." replied Star as she saw the bats attacking everyone else.
"SLITHERING SNAKES! RAISE MY STAKES!" yelled the box ghost as he opened the box again and shot off hundreds of snakes out of the box. Everyone immediately started to run away after the snakes began chasing everyone with the bats. The snakes then started getting closer to Sam, Tucker and Star.
"Ugh! Why did it have to be snakes?!" cried Tucker as he backed off.
"Danny this is serious! Do something!" yelled Sam as she jumped on a park bench to get away from the snakes.
"Right! I'm going...over there." said Danny. He ran off behind the tree and transformed into his alter ego and flew up to the box ghost.
"Go Danny! You can do it!" cheered Star.
Danny flew up to the box ghost and tried to punch him but the box ghost immediately dodged the punches and kicked Danny in the gut to push him away.
"Beware my amp FEAR bians!" yelled the box ghost as he opened the box again, unleashing a horde of flesh eating frogs. The frogs quickly jumped onto Danny and started biting him but Danny charged his body with electricity and blasted them away. With the energy blast, Danny started descending to the ground.
"Dude are you okay?!" asked Tucker.
"Nugh...I've never been frogged before." said Danny as he was rubbing his head but then a frog landed on top of his head. Danny quickly flicked the frog away from his head.
"If I remember the legend correctly, each time the box is opened..." said Sam.
"…...the evil released gets worse." said Star. The three then look over to Star with a bit of confusion. "What? I know some things too."
"Really? Then who puts snakes before frogs? I mean seriously!" asked Tucker. Star then went over to help Danny stand back up.
"Doesn't matter. Cos I'm sending this box back where it cam from! C.O.D!" said Danny as he flew back up to the box ghost. The box ghost immediately opened the box again which sent a powerful energy ball towards Danny. Danny dodged the energy blast but then the box ghost swooped in and slammed Danny's face with the box sending him flying off.
The box ghost immediately re-opened the box which brought out a Pegasus with dark flames for wings.
"Danny, evil pegaus at 3 o clock!" yelled Sam. Danny quickly got back to sense and looked over to see the deadly mythical creature flying towards Danny. The pegasus quickly charged at Danny and rammed him. Tucker quickly walked over to try and grab him but his arms were way off. Danny stood back up to see the Pegasus getting closer to them.
"It's okay. I don't think it can do anything." said Sam only for the pegasus to blast a fire breath towards them. Sam and Tucker quickly jumped away from the fire attack where as Danny grabbed Star and pulled her away from the attack.
"Hey horse face, do the words "glue factory" mean anything to you?!" said Danny as he started creating twin ecto disks. Danny then charged up towards the pegaus and threw his disks which hit the pegasi's wings. But just as it started falling, it immediately regrew it's flame wings and took flight again. The pegasus then enlarged it's wings and started flapping them faster, creating a strong wind push sending Danny and his friends back. After the strong wind, Sam and Tucker quickly got back up and tried to find Danny. They found but it was an awkward scene since Danny was on top of Star.
Sam was just quietly trying to hold in her rage and helped him get up. After the pegasus stopped, the box ghost quickly jumped on it's back.
"YEE-HAW! There is a new sheriff in town and now it's time to meet my deputy...OF DEATH!" yelled the box ghost as he opened the box again to unleash a 10 headed hydra.
"RRRAAAAWWWRRR!" roared the 10 heads of the hydra.
"And suddenly I miss the snakes." said Tucker. All of them got up and started running as the hydra blasted fire from it's mouth. The hydra then turned and blasted down everything around it. Danny quickly jumped in created an Ecto sword. He dodged the incoming fire and sliced off the hydra's head.
"Hah! Look's like I'm a "Head"! mocked Danny.
"Danny no! When a hydra's head is cut, it grows..." said Sam only for the hydra create two new heads for it's lost one.
"Oh come on!" yelled Danny as he flew around the hydra and dodged it's fire. Cutting it's head off became a no go, so Danny quickly thought of the next best idea and created twin lightning whips. He quickly flew up and tied their heads together. He then transmitted energy through his whips electrocuting them. The hydra then started shaking it's head and taking Danny along with it. After flailing so much, the whip finally snapped, sending Danny off and crashing down.
"What are we gonna do?" asked Tucker running away from the hydra.
"We need to get that box away from the hydra at all cost!" yelled Sam.
"And how do we plan on doing that?" asked Star. Just then, the snakes starting coming over from other side. The hydra took the opportunity and blasted a fireball towards them only for an ecto disc to slice it in half. Danny arrived and created a ghost shield deflect the fire that was being blasted by all 11 heads of the hydra.
"I can't hold on much longer!" said Danny as the shield started getting weaker. Just then three ecto blasts were sent towards the hydras heads, stopping them from firing. The four look back to see the Fenton RV with Jazz holding a bazooka.
"Taste me fire, dragon breath!" insulted Jazz as she fired more ecto energy. After the RV stopped in front of the hydra, Maddie quickly jumped out with another device.
"11 heads, meet 9 tails!" said Maddie as she blasted 9 electrical wires with Jack's head in the middle. The net caught all the hydra's head and electrocuted them with a much stronger volt. Jack then got out of the RV and brought his weapon as well.
"I DON'T HAVE A CLEVER QUIP!" yelled Jack as he sent an electrical wave at the Hydra. The Hydra then started running off to the city.
"This is not good. There's too many of em." said Danny.
"Well we're here to help!" said the voice that everyone recognised. The four look up to see Desiree, Ember, Kitty and Dora in their ghost form.
"Oh great! More company." said Sam as she got out a Fenton Bazooka.
"Sam stop! They're here to help us!" said Danny as he got in front of the Bazooka.
"What?! Danny, what are you talking about? They're the enemy!" yelled Tucker.
"Guys just trust me on this one, they're here to help us." said Danny.
"That's right dipstick, I wanted to have a peaceful day off but with the box ghost using Pandora's box. That's clearly not gonna be happening." said Ember with a bit of annoyance since she wanted to enjoy the picnic with Danny.
"We need to stop the box ghost before he unleashes everything in the box." said Desiree.
"Exactly right. I need you guys to stop the Hydra and everything else attacking the city." commanded Danny.
"And what about you?" asked Tucker.
"I'm gonna go get this "Pandora" person and let her know what's going on her with box." said Danny.
"WHAT?!" yelled the four ghosts.
"You're going to Pandora's lair?" asked Kitty.
"Danny that's seriously a death wish. Don't do it!" advised Dora.
"Guys...we don't have a choice. Right now, we're in a really bad position with all these creatures attacking us. I'd say we get as much help as we can. Besides it's her box, maybe she can help us return all this...stuff back in it." declared Danny. Sam then went over to Danny and passed on her book.
"What's this?" asked Danny.
"Since you're not really up to date with information about Greek mythology, I think it's better if you take this. You can use it as a guide" said Sam as she gave him a book about her greek mythology. "It was the last one, so...be careful"
"Oh uh...I will Sam. Uh...thanks" said Danny as he flew off. Star just had a concerned look throughout that entire conversation since they really did seem close to each other. Like more than friends thing.
"Danny, there's something you need to know." said Dora as she got closer.
"What is it?" asked Danny.
"If you find Pandora, you need to show her proof of your strength. She only helps those who she believes is worthy of her time." advised Dora. Danny started thinking about how he was gonna try and show his worthiness but then something came in his mind.
"Thanks for the advice Dora, I think I know exactly what I need." said Danny as he flew off to his house. After a few minutes, he arrived home and went up to his room. He quickly started looking for the object and saw it inside his own Fenton Thermos. Even after containing it in the thermos, the power was just raging to be released. Danny didn't want to take the risk so he just took the thermos itself. He flew down and went into the ghost portal.
Ghost zone
Danny was just flying around to try and find the home of Pandora, however with no luck. Until he noticed that Skulker was being chased by three monstrous unicorns. They then began started energy blasts from their horns and they hit Skulker's jet pack, sending him flying down. Danny quickly flew down and grabbed Skulker and flew off.
"I won't tell anyone if you don't." offered Skulker.
"Deal!" agreed Danny as he flew into a crater to ditch the unicorns. After hiding themselves, the unicorns just carried on flying off.
"I can never understand why people think those things are cute." said Skulker.
"Alright, you should be safe here. Now do you know where Pandora is?" asked Danny.
"Just follow those things. They'll lead you straight to Pandora. But you won't get an audience unless you have something to prove your..." said Skulker.
"I know and I got already got that covered." replied Danny as he flew off after the unicorns. "I just hope everything is under control in Amity Park."
Amity Park
"THINGS ARE OUT OF CONTROL HERE IN AMITY PARK! THERE ARE SNAKES, FROGS, BATS AND A HYDRA DESTROYING THE CITY!" cried the Anchor-man as he ran away from the monsters.
Ember and Desiree were using their ecto blasts to take down as many bats as they could. They to tried to wish for the evil to disappear but only the power of the box would be able to defeat the creatures.
"Look out!" cried Ember and Desiree in unison as they shot incoming bats behind each other. Ember quickly strummed her guitar sending a giant fist towards the bats. Desiree blasted an ecto hammer towards the bats sending them away.
"Not bad Ember." complimented Desiree.
"You're not bad yourself." returned Ember. The two then carried on taking down as many bats as they could in the air. Kitty and Star were shooting down all the snakes that they encountered. Star quickly borrowed two ecto guns and started shooting them. She was dual wielding and shooting them with ease. Kitty was using her ecto beams to fry as many as she could.
"Wow, you're good at this." complimented Kitty as she fired more ecto blasts.
"Thanks. I learned a few things from my parents." thanked Star as she carried on shooting as many as she could. Dora was too busy fighting the hydra in her dragon form and stopping it from destroying the city. After being nagged at a lot by Sam, Tucker and Jazz, Maddie and Jack agreed not to shoot the ghost girls and dragon.
"I sure hope Danny's doing better then we are." hoped Sam as she shot down more bats.
Ghost zone
Danny was being strangled by the snake hair of medusa. He tried to do his best to avoid any eye contact with her since he knew that she was going to turn him to stone thanks to Sam's book.
"Gaze into my eyes so that I may turn you to stone!" demanded Medusa as she tightened her grip on Danny's neck.
"Lady...maybe all you need is a little conditioning!" said Danny as he fired an ecto blast towards Medusa's head, destroying all the snakes and leaving her bald.
"AAAHH! My babies! No!" cried Medusa as she ran off the other way. Danny was finally gasping for air after being freed from her grip. Danny took off the the sky and started reading Sam's book again to find clues about Pandora's castle.
"Okay, Pandora's castle rests on the other side of the lightning arch. You will be amazed how easy it is to find." read Danny until he finally found what he was looking for and man was he disappointed. Right before stood an electrical gate which led to a gigantic maze. "Amazed...A maze. Duh."
Danny entered the maze hoping to quickly get out of it as soon as possible. He would've tried to fly over the maze but he was worried that once he got off the hedges, he would attacked or electrocuted. He carried on walking throughout the maze but then he noticed a sign.
"(This area is protected by minotaur's.) Minotaur's? What's that?" asked Danny as he started reading his book again but then he felt the ground starting to rumble. He looked back to see a giant red minotaur. It was wearing a normal Greek outfit and held a giant mace. He saw another in front of him with the same look. "Oh this so not good."
The two minotaur's then charged directly at Danny and started swinging their maces. Danny carried on dodging them one swing at a time but then their swings started getting in sync. He quickly dodged the first swing but as he saw the other one come in, he knew he could only block it. Danny got his guard up only to be sent flying back towards the hedge.
The two minotaur's charged at Danny again but this time Danny created twin lightning whips. He used the two whips to grab their legs and pull them back. After the two minotaur's tripped, Danny took the opportunity to transform his two whips into arrows. He created his electrical bow and quickly flew up to shoot the minotaur's directly on the head. "Man, now that's what I call bull headed." mocked Danny.
He proceeded to go through the maze but another obstacle came in his way. He stopped to see a centaur with a very angry face.
"Whoa...not as in you're a horse but...can you tell me if I'm close to Pandora's castle?" asked Danny. The centaur didn't reply but simple blasted a blue energy attack from his front two hooves. "Does that mean you don't know?"
The centaur just stayed silent and carried on firing more energy blasts from it's hooves. Danny created a ecto shield which took the blasts and gave him a bit of power. Danny retaliated by sending twin energy disks toward the centaur but centaur easily dodged the two disks. The centaur then shot three arrows at Danny, luckily Danny was able to create a mana shield just time to deflect the shields.
"Okay, this is just getting tiresome!" sighed Danny as he formed an electrical sword. He then started charging towards the centaur who was shooting more arrows at Danny but this time Danny was able to slice all the arrows before they even touched him. As soon as Danny got close enough, he slashed the bow and spin kicked the centaurs head. Danny then changed the sword into an electrical ball and fired it towards the centaur which sent him flying into the hedge.
"The next time I see you, it better be in a merry go round!" yelled Danny as he carried on flying through but just as he took a turn, he crashed into a giant cyclops. The cyclops just roared and fired an energy beam from it's eyes sending Danny crashing to the ground. The cyclops blasted more energy beam towards Danny but Danny quickly dodged them all and started running for it. The cyclops gave chase and ran after him but little did he know that was Danny's plan. Danny quickly turned back and flew straight towards the cyclops creating two lightning whips to catch his arms. Danny them flew over him and pulled him down. Taking the opportunity, he flew up and created a giant thunder ball and threw it straight towards the minotaur. After explosion, the minotaur just stayed down.
"Okay...now I'm just getting tired. Luckily Pandora's castle is really close." said Danny as he carried on flying through the maze and finally found the giant castle that belonged to Pandora.
"Okay, I found it. But how am I gonna open this thing?" asked Danny to look around only to find a doorbell. "Wow, I can't believe I didn't notice that." said Danny as he pushed the button. Just then the doors started opening slowly. As the door opened, Danny saw a tell ghost with four arms, wearing ancient Greek battle armour and spear.
"Uh...are you Pandora?" asked Danny nervously.
"Who wants to know?" demanded Pandora as she got closer.
"Um...I found your box." answered Danny.
"You found my treasure?! Where is it?" asked Pandora in a more calmer voice.
"Um...the truth is, that the box ghost has been using it in my town. He's been unleashing all the evil inside the box and I was wondering if you could help me stop him!" replied Danny. Pandora then looked up and started thinking about the choice she had to make.
"How do I know I can trust you? For all I know, you could be working with him and trying to trick me." questioned Pandora.
"Why would I be lying at a time like this? I just wanted to help you get back what you lost." argued Danny.
"I see. Fair enough but you should know that I only help those who are worthy of my time. Someone whose proven themselves to be a strong warrior. And would you perhaps have any way of showing me this?" asked Pandora. Danny just nodded as he took out the Fenton Thermos which was spewing a red mist. "This power...it feels so familiar. It can't be..." said Pandora. Danny then opened the thermos and took out the Cursed Dragon Amulet.
"This is the amulet I took from Aragon when I defeated him in battle!" showed off Danny. Pandora was just awe struck at the young ghost, he was holding one of the most powerful ghost artefacts in the ghost zone. And what's even more surprising is the fact that he was able to defeat the original bearer of the amulet.
"Your telling me that you defeated Aragon and took his amulet?!" asked Pandora is shock.
"…...yes." replied Danny but Danny was feeling too much of guilt trip since he knew that it was due to the help of Dora that he was able to defeat Aragon. Pandora was able to see the hesitation in his answer.
"You're not telling me the truth. I knew it was impossible for someone such as you to get that amulet." said Pandora.
"Look...I know that you don't trust people that easily but I can assure you I'm telling you the truth. I just want what's best for you and my city. Right now my friends and family are doing their best to stop the monstrosity that's destroying my city. I swear to you, I need your help." answered Danny as he kneeled down. Pandora then looked over to Danny and closed her eyes and smiled. She could tell that Danny had a good heart and really did want to protect those he cared about.
"Well I see that you're not lying. You truly do have a good heart. Very well, I will help you." offered Pandora.
"Really?! Thank you!" said Danny as he got up from his knees and tried to stand but then he quickly grabbed his chest. His heart beat was getting louder and bigger.
"Are you okay?!" asked Pandora as she made herself smaller to reach Danny's height. She quickly went over to Danny who was still holding his chest. Pandora had no idea what was going, Danny started screaming in pain as the beating of his heart got even faster. Danny stood up and started unleashing red energy from his body. His eyes changed from green to red and teeth started getting sharper. Pandora then quickly jumped in and hit him with an energy beam to his body causing him to fall to the ground.
Danny finally stopped screaming and reverted back into his normal self. Pandora went over and checked on Danny but she was surprised when she realised that Danny wasn't breathing properly. She immediately took off his shirt and began scanning his body. His heart was getting weaker and weaker and in time, it was gonna stop completely. Pandora immediately started doing CPR and placed her lips on his. She carried on giving him CPR until Danny was finally able to open his eyes. He looked up to see that Pandora had her lips on his. Danny just started blushing like crazy and quickly got up.
"Oh my gosh! What happened?!" asked Danny as he tried to hide his blushing face. Pandora finally sighed in relief seeing he was okay.
"I'm so glad you're okay. And to be honest, I was hoping you could tell me. You just started screaming with so much hatred. I quickly hit your nerve system to calm you down but afterwards your body was starting to get weaker due to the energy unleashed. Your heart was about to give up on you so I had performed CPR." explained Pandora. Danny then smiled and looked back to Pandora.
"Wow so you saved me. Thanks a lot Pandora." smiled Danny. Pandora then smiled and blushed as she hadn't kissed someone in a very long time.
"It's okay. But what happened?" asked Pandora. Danny just looked away and scratched the back of his head.
"It's nothing important. It was cos of...that thing." said Danny as he pointed towards the Cursed Amulet. The cursed amulet carried on spreading more red mist but Danny immediately grabbed it and placed it in his thermos. "Ever since I got it, it's been trying to influence me with it's dark powers. I wanted to destroy it but it just wouldn't even get a mark. Throwing it away wouldn't be an option, if someone else got caught by it's dark powers. Then it could all go south, so south. Well forget it, right now, we need to go and stop the box ghost."
"Agreed." said Pandora. The two of them then immediately got out of the castle and flew towards the portal.
Amity Park
Jack, Maddie and Jazz were doing their best to take down the mythical creatures but they were starting to get cornered with the box ghost unleashing more evil from the box. Desiree and Ember had to got their separate ways since the number of bats increased to thousands. Kitty now carried Star bridal style because the snakes were overflowing and covering the ground.
"Foolish humans! The reign of the box ghost has only begun!" cried the box ghost.
"Then this is gonna be the shortest rule in history." replied Danny. Next to Danny stood Pandora who grew taller and cracked her knuckles.
"Danny!" cheered Sam, Tucker, Jazz, Dora, Kitty and Star.
"Pandora?!" gulped Desiree and Ember at the sight of the Greek goddess.
"Uh oh...I mean, UH OH FOR YOU! It is time you...uh...crumble and you know...FEAR ME! Fear my box of terror!" yelled the Box ghost as he revealed Pandora's box.
"Your box...YOUR BOX?!" roared Pandora.
"Oh poop." said the box ghost as Pandora got closer.
"That is my box! You stole it from me and for that, you must pay!" yelled Pandora as she fired two energy blasts with her two left hands. The box ghost opened the box and absorbed the energy blast. After charging it up, he blasted it back towards Pandora and pushed her back. Pandora quickly tried to fly after him but the box ghost sent another energy blast towards her. The beam hit her directly and sent her flying back and causing her to shrink into normal human size. Danny quickly flew after her and caught her in bridal style.
"Are you okay?" asked Danny. Pandora then looked up to see Danny's face and boy was she impressed at what the gods brought down.
"Uh...I-I'm fine. Thank you for helping." thanked Pandora as she tried to hide her blushing face.
"What are we gonna do? The box ghost has never been this powerful before." said Danny as he let Pandora fly again.
"He's opened the box too many times, now he's filled with it's energy. I thought I would be able to stop him by myself but he's gotten too strong. I need your help." said Pandora.
"Okay but I'm not very well read." said Danny.
"The whole world, shall crumble before me!" yelled the box ghost.
"Why don't you show us how?!" asked Danny as he fired two fireballs towards the box ghost. The box ghost just absorbed the fireballs with the box and threw them both towards Danny sending him crashing towards a wall. Danny flew back with his lightning whips and hit the black flame pegasi's wing. They were about to start falling but the pegasus once again re grew it's flame wings.
"How about you just give me the box and no one else will get hurt?!" asked Danny.
"Haha! You are the only one getting hurt!" mocked the box ghost.
"Yeah, I noticed that too. But that is about to change!" said Danny as Pandora appeared behind the box ghost and punched him off the pegasus. The pegasus then flew away after seeing Pandora.
"Come back! I command you!" yelled the Box ghost.
"You command nothing and you do not steal from me!" yelled Pandora as she blasted a giant ecto ball at the box ghost. The box ghost crashed against the wall and dropped the box. Danny quickly grabbed it and flew back to Pandora.
"I did ask nicely." said Danny as he gave the box to Pandora again.
"My most treasured possession. How dare you betray it by using it for evil?!" questioned Pandora as she fired an ecto beam at the box ghost.
"Wait a minute? The box wasn't meant to be used for evil?" asked Sam as she got closer to Danny and Pandora.
"But I thought it contained all the worst malevolence in the universe?" asked Star.
"It does...because I created it contain it all. I was trying to rid the ghost zone of all this..."malevolence" as you call it to make both our worlds a better place. Underneath all this fury and rage, I'm actually a kind and thoughtful gal." said Pandora as she fired another energy blast at the Box ghost.
"So...much...pain." cried the box ghost.
"You know if you show us how to use the box correctly, we could collect all the evil for you." offered Danny.
"Thank you for the offer Danny. But you've done so much for me, besides this is the easy part. I knew that spew switch was gonna come back to haunt me." said Pandora as she turned the box upside down to reveal a spew and reclaim side. She changed the setting to reclaim and opened her box which then began sucking in all the bats, snakes, frogs and the giant Hydra.
"Yeah we did it!" cheered Star. Kitty and Dora then flew in and jumped on Danny.
"Pandora, I can't thank you enough for what you did. You saved the city." said Danny.
"It's fine. If anything I should be thanking you, you helped me reclaim my lost treasure." appreciated Pandora.
"By the way, where's Ember and Desiree?" asked Danny.
"Huh...I don't know. Those two were meant to take care of the bats but they're not here." answered Dora. Ember and Desiree were actually on top of a roof and didn't want to get any closer to Pandora.
"You ready to get down there?" asked Ember.
"Don't think so, as long as Pandora's around there. I'd rather not get anywhere closer." stated Desiree.
Down with the rest of the group, everyone was finally cheering for their victory. However the box ghost was finally getting back up.
"I...still have...some power." said the box ghost as he charged up all of his power and sent an energy wave towards Pandora. Danny immediately saw the attack and jumped in front of Pandora. The energy blast then struck Danny's chest and made him collapse.
"Ugnh...I'm...dead." said Danny as he collapsed on the ground.
"DANNY!" yelled all the girls. Pandora quickly grabbed Danny and saw the giant cut on Danny's chest. The ghost girls, Sam and Star just gave the box ghost a deadly stare making him fear for his after life.
A really horrifying beating that I can't describe later, Pandora picked up Danny and started getting ready to fly off.
"Hey where are you going?" asked Sam.
"I'm taking him to my realm. This wound will kill him if I don't help him soon." yelled Pandora as she flew into a ghost portal.
Pandora's Realm
Danny finally started waking up after getting treated. He was currently in some type of old room, the only things to notice were the bloody towels and portrait of a woman. She was wearing a white Greek robe and held a spear. Danny felt a strong pain in his body and saw that his chest was covered in bandages and he was still feeling weak. He tried to get out his bed but then...
"You really should be resting." said Pandora as she walked into the room with food. This however, she wasn't wearing her usual Greek armour but instead, she was wearing a white Greek robe and sandals. Her hair was long and reached down to her legs. Danny just couldn't help but blush at the sight of someone so beautiful but he tried his best to hide it.
"Pandora, what happened?" asked Danny.
"Well you collapsed after you saved me from the box ghost's attack." said Pandora as she remembered Danny's heroic action.
"Oh right...I remember now. Sorry I gave you so much trouble." apologised Danny.
"Don't be, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to stand right now." said Pandora. Danny then stood up from his bed and started walking off.
"Danny? Is there something wrong?" asked Pandora.
"To be honest, a lot." replied Danny.
"What is it? You can tell me." offered Pandora.
"The truth is, ever since I was eight years old. I was trained in the arts of Strength, Skill and Will. With those abilities, I tried my best to protect those I cared about. I even received ghost powers and thought it would make me stronger but it wasn't enough. Lately with the battles I had, I've been lacking so much. I was struggling against Skulker and almost lost one of my friends. The same with the Box ghost, I always thought he was nothing but a joke but today he proved that even he can be a threat. I mean he almost destroyed the whole world. In fact, I wasn't all that honest with you either." confessed Danny.
"What do you mean?" asked Pandora.
"The truth is, you were right. I didn't defeat Aragon by myself, it was thanks to Aragon's sister that I was able to defeat and get rid of the cursed amulet. Speaking of which, I'm so pathetic that I almost lost my life to the amulet. So I'm really sorry I didn't tell you the truth. " apologised Danny. Pandora then smiled and went over Danny.
"Danny, there's no need to apologise. I can understand that you only lied with good intentions. Besides, even if you didn't have anything to prove yourself with. I would've gladly helped you." said Pandora.
"Really? But why?" asked Danny. He really though that he had to accomplish a great feat to get an audience with Pandora herself.
"I listened to your heart. It told me about how you were really concerned about your friends and wanted to do anything you could to save them. Even lie." said Pandora.
"You listened to my heart?" asked Danny remembering there was only way to do that.
" "Silent Serene Heart", you're not the only one who knows that ability." admitted Pandora.
"But even so, that doesn't change the fact that I'm so pathetic. Even with all these powers and the training that I do, I couldn't protect anyone. I had to lie to you just to protect those I cared about. My strength just feels so useless not being to protect anyone even after everything I learned." said Danny as he looked at his hands. Pandora then placed her hands on his and smiled at him.
"Danny, I know that you wanted to train yourself to become the strongest to defend those you care about but that's just not possible. One way or another, you will always meet someone stronger. But the most important thing you need to remember is that the toughest battle that you will ever face in life, is the fight against yourself. You don't want to fight to defeat others but to defeat yourself. To show that you can beat your own limits. And that's what I will help you do." offered Pandora surprising Danny.
"Wait, what? What do you mean?" asked Danny.
"You said it yourself. "You wanted to get stronger and I can help you do that. Let me train you, I can give you the knowledge of strength, and magic." offered Pandora.
"Really? I mean, I try to train myself but will it be any different?" asked Danny.
"Believe me Danny, my training will make you stronger but it's not gonna be easy." said Pandora.
"That's just the way I need it. If I'm gonna protect everyone, I need to get stronger." said Danny. Pandora could see the burning passion that driving Danny in his heart and knew that he was really serious about training.
"Very well Danny. Oh and there is one more thing." said Pandora.
"Oh really? What's tha..." said Danny only to be interrupted by Pandora who placed her lips on his. Pandora made the kiss even more intense and pinned Danny against the wall. She then used her others arms and stroked Danny's sides. Danny could not believe his situation and blushed red like a tomato. After a while, they finally broke off from the kiss and took a breath.
"Um...Pandora...why?" asked Danny as he tried to get his head back together.
"That was for rescuing me from that attack." said Pandora as she left the room. But just as she left the room. She stopped at the door.
"By the way, training begins once you're finished healing." said Pandora as she carried on walking. Danny just placed his fingers on his lips and realised that he was kissed by a Greek goddess.
"Oh...this is gonna be troublesome." said Danny. Danny then placed his hand on his chest remembering the pain he had to go through for letting out the cursed amulet for a few minutes. He knew that he had to find a way to destroy it...or control it.

"Soon" said …...
(A/N GOD DAMN IT! 10,000 words?! I can't believe that these chapters are just getting more and more longer. Not to mention this one wasn't even that good especially for the long desired Pandora. Like what, the chapter only contained 10% Pandora. But that doesn't mean she won't come back of course. But to be honest, I actually wanted to make this chapter extra long because I have some bad news. No new chapter for the next couples of weeks sadly, due to college work. I really was surprised to see the results from the last chapter. Not even kidding, I thought Valerie was going to be the next candidate then this happened :
Spectra : 11
Pandora : 15
Valerie : 14
Perona : 2
Tara : 1
Paulina : 2?
Seriously, Pandora won the poll by one additional vote! No joke, I really didn't expect I wanted to thank everyone for reading.

I mean I know compared to others this is nothing amazing or impressive but I'm glad people could enjoy the story and tell me how they feel about it. I should let you all know that I'm a bit of review hungry freak and check the website everyday for anything new. Anyways once again thank you very much for the support and hope you guys can stick around for future chapters.
