Fable of a Phantom
Meet your end
When we last left off, Danny, Vlad and Valerie were doing their best to push back the ghost attack but the numbers were starting to overpower them. But once all three of them combined their efforts, they were able to defeat the skeletons and defeat the Fright Knight. Just as Valerie was about to deliver the final hit to Fright Knight, another female warrior in black armour similar to Fright Knight's had arrived. She defended Fright knight and pushed her back. Danny then took the opportunity and blasted away the female warrior.
After attacking, her face revealed to be the person that he was protecting. Perona! And now we carry on.
"Perona?! Is that you?! (Talk about a 180 on her personality)" asked Danny. The armoured girl then removed her broken helmet and just glared at Danny without giving a response.
"I know not of this "Perona" in whom you speak of. I am Daedra, one of the 4 commanders of Pariah's army." Replied Daedra as she created an ecto sword.
"What?! What are you talking about? You're with them?" questioned Danny with disbelief.
"Enough! I shall hear no more words, for our blades shall now do battle." Declared Daedra as she readied herself to fight but then Fright Knight stood in front of her.
"Master?" asked Daedra in confusion.
"Enough Daedra, we have wasted enough time with these fools. But now the sword has sunk, your die now cast. The sword removed shall signal fast. Make reappear the ring thou hast or your next day shall be your last." Threatened Fright Knight. Daedra then walked over to Fright Knight and used her powers to teleport the two in a mist of green smoke.
"The Ring thou hast?" questioned Danny as he turned to Vlad who just shrugged his shoulders. Just then, they could hear the noises of vehicles crashing through.
"Children of Amity Park! Report to the safe bosom of the Fenton Family Assault Vehicle!" alerted Maddie as she was ramming through the Skeleton ghosts with the Fenton RV.
"Mom!" "Maddie!" said Danny and Vlad in Unison.
"(I can't let her see me like this!)" thought the two before flying off in different directions.
"What the?! Where did they go?" questioned Valerie but then she decided to fly off as well since she sustained damaged from the battle.
Danny then quickly flew back to Star's location and saw that she was still under the shield. He then flew down and quickly transformed back into his human form.
"Star!" yelled Danny as he went over to the girl under the shield.
"Danny!" cried Star as she went over and gave him a kiss instead. "I'm so glad you're okay."
"Thanks Star but listen, my mom is coming with our vehicle right now. I need you to go to with my parents, you'll be safe with them." Said Danny as he picked her up and flew towards the Fenton RV.
"Why does it feel like I need to ask "What about you?" said Star knowing that Danny wasn't going with him.
"Good question, turns out one of the Knight's henchmen was Perona." Said Danny.
"What?! How can that be? Perona…..she seemed so innocent and kind." Said Star in disbelief.
"I know…we were both fooled. But now there isn't much we can about it, she's probably already told them about my home and my secret identity. Which means that my family are gonna be targets for them. But anyway, I need you to go with my mom. I need answers and the only way I can do that is by finding a ghost." Said Danny.
"Okay, but please be careful." Said Star.
"I promise you, I'll be fine." Said Danny.
Star then watched as Danny flew off. She then ran towards the source of the sound and saw a bunch of students near the Fenton RV. She then went over to Sam and Tucker.
Danny was then flying around trying to sense a ghost around him but it wasn't working. All the ghosts were hiding and the only other ghosts to find were the minions of Pariah standing still with their weapons.
Danny carried on flying around but he found nothing. He then decided to head home into hin room. He then jumped onto his bed.
"Perona…but how?" said Danny. He wanted to protect her and know her but he was betrayed. No matter what was going through his mind, the one thing came back to his head. What happened at the battlefield today? He fought some kind of knight with his enemies and then the person he wanted to protect was his enemy.
"Just what is going on? Everything is happening so fast and now…Amity Park is in danger." Said Danny. He then turned to look at the necklace that the female ghost gave her and looked at it again but then his mind went blank.
"What the…" Just then his eye went blank and his mind was going through a trance. His mind started going dark but then he started hearing something.
"…Rosie….." said a little girl in a sad tone.
"What the…?" asked Danny confused at what he was hearing.
"I can't….find Rosie." Said the girl as she was crying.
"What….this memory…I…." said Danny.
Just then the darkness in his mind started disappearing and it revealed a tiny girl who was looking over to Danny while wiping her tears. She was wearing a blue dress with sandals and blue hair.
"Don't worry, I'll help you find Rosie." Said a young boy who was offering a hand to Perona.
"What…whose voice is that?" said Danny
"Really…thank you…..um…..what's your name?" asked Perona.
"My name is….." said the boy.
Just then the face of the young boy was about to revealed but then the vision quickly changed into something else and a shadow started covering his mind.
Just then the shadow started disappearing and then his vision started becoming clearer. On a snowy day, in front of him was woman who had pink skin and green hair but she was bleeding. She had wounds and cuts all over body and she was barely alive.
"Mommy!" cried a child's voice but it did nothing as the woman in front of her just passed away. The vision then ended as Danny quickly removed his hand from the necklace. Danny was breathing hard after seeing such as a vision.
"What….what was that?" asked Danny.
He had no idea what happened but he had to speak to Sam and Tucker. He then started walking downstairs and saw Sam, Star and Tucker speaking to Valerie.
"Hey guys." Greeted Danny as he went over to his friends. Valerie just smiled as she saw the boy she liked walk towards her.
"Hey Danny, are you doing okay? I mean you ran off earlier and then the ghost attack happened." Said Valerie in a concerned tone. Sam and Tucker were starting to get annoyed since they knew that she was trying her best to get back with Danny. But Danny had no idea.
"Don't worry Valerie, my parents found me before the ghost attack." Said Danny. Sam just couldn't take anymore and just decided to stand up. She then went over to Danny and grabbed his hand.
"Can I talk to you for a sec?" questioned Sam as she pulled Danny and then pulled Tucker with him. She then took Danny and Tucker into the closet and then slammed the door for privacy.
In the room, Valerie and Star were the only one left in the room. But Valerie too had something to talk to about with Star. She didn't forget about what she did with Danny Phantom.
After they got into the closet, Sam then turned on the lights. The two then turned to Danny and game him a serious face.
"Danny, you need to be careful. After all, the moment you turn into Danny Phantom. She'll shoot first and ask questions never." Said Tucker.
"You guys, I know you're worried about me but she won't find out." Said Danny trying to calm his friends down.
"How do you know she isn't snooping right now?! What if that ring on her hand isn't some kind of ghost detection device?" asked Sam.
"Wait…..ring?" asked Danny. He then gently opened the door to get a peek and saw that Valerie and Star were arguing. But then he looked over and noticed that she did have a ring on. Danny then quickly remembered the words of the Fright Knight and then quickly shut the door.
"The ring….thou hast." Said Danny. Sam and Tucker then turn to Danny with confusion for what he said.
"Danny, are you okay?" asked Sam.
"Guys…. those ghosts that attacked the school. They were after the ring that Valerie has. Vlad must've given it to her!" said Danny.
"Vlad? Isn't he too old for her?" asked Tucker.
"I think now it's all starting to make sense. Those ghosts are after the ring that Vlad gave Valerie and he's using her to hide the ring." Said Danny.
"So that's why they attacked the school. Because they were drawn to the ring that Valerie had." Said Sam.
"Danny, you know this means that you need to stay away from her. Not only is she your hunter but she's also attracting your other enemies." Said Tucker.
"He's right, you and Perona will be in danger as long as you're with her. Speaking of which, where is she? She was with Star but then she was gone." Said Sam. Danny then covered his face and started stressing out.
"Uh….guys…..there's something I need to tell you." Said Danny in a disappointed tone. Sam and Tucker then went closer to listen to Danny. He then started telling Sam and Tucker about what happened at the school. His fight with the Fright Knight and his apprentice but the real surprise came when she revealed her true identity. It was Perona.
"What?! Danny, I told you that ghost was nothing but trouble! I bet they found you because she alerted them towards you." Yelled Sam.
"Man, I can't believe it. At first glance, I wouldn't have been able to tell that she was the enemy. I mean she looked so innocent and kind." Said Tucker.
"Yeah but when I fought her with the Fright Knight, she immediately turned into a dark fighter who wanted to destroy me. But I don't understand, when I listened to her heart, she was perfectly normal. It's as if she turned into a whole new person." Said Danny.
"Well if she's with the enemy, she has everything she needs to know about us. Which is bad for us." Said Sam.
"Okay guys please, I know after what happened I shouldn't trust her but I just had so many questions. The other ghost asked me to protect her saying she was being hunted and I could tell she wasn't lying. But why would she need protection if she was a part of them? Why are they after that ring? And the only way to get answers is by asking the other ghosts." Said Danny.
"So you're telling me that just because you want answers, you want to risk your life?" said Sam.
"I know what I'm doing is risky but I trust her. There was something about her that I remembered which makes me know that I can trust her." Said Danny.
"But you saw what she did, she's basically the ghost version of Valerie. When she's in her human form, she acts all kind to get close to you but when she's in her armour, she'll kill you the first chance she gets." Said Tucker.
"Maybe so but I know that I can trust her. I just ask that you guys trust me." Said Danny. Sam and Tucker then look at each other realising the risk that he was going for. But as his friends, they wanted to help him.
"Okay fine but the moment she attacks you, I'm not gonna hold back." Said Sam.
"Thanks guys. I need you guys to distract Valerie while I go." Said Danny.
"Wait, you're leaving?" said Tucker.
"Yep, I'm gonna need answers. And who better to get it from then the ghosts themselves?" asked Danny as transformed into his ghost alter ego by summoning two white rings. He then became intangible and flew off.
"He owes us big time for this." Said Sam.
At the sports store
Danny was flying around to find any familiar ghosts that he could to get answers and then he finally found one.
"I'd much rather kick your butt but this works too!" said Danny as he pointed the Fenton Thermos as Skulker but turns out it was cardboard cut-out. Danny just stared at the fake for a while but then he quickly did a spin kick behind him, hitting the real Skulker and crashing him to a wall.
"Come on Skulker, I ain't gonna fall for that. I could tell that thing was a fake from a mile away." Said Danny as he charged at Skulker.
Skulker then quickly activated his missiles and launched them at Danny. As the rockets were flying towards him, he quickly fired lightning to blow them up but he was still caught in the explosion. Danny then looked around and saw that Skulker fired a net at him but then Danny decided to retaliate by shooting 4 arrows, piercing through the net The arrows then quickly split into 8 and then started hitting each piece of Skulker's armour, pinning him to the wall. Skulker tried to move but his circuits were fried.
Danny then went over and ripped off Skulker's head.
"Now listen up Skulker, I didn't come here with the intention to fight. I'm here because I need answers. I would appreciate if you guys could give me answers." Said Danny as he turned his head to see the other ghosts. There was the box ghost, Klemper, Johny, Bertrand, Point Dexter, Walker and many other ghosts.
"Please everyone, I know this has nothing to with me but I want to help. Both for your world and mine. I need to know what is going on and what we're up against." Said Danny. He then let go of Skulker and placed him back on the suit's head.
The ghosts then agreed and decided to sit around a sake campfire.
"This story began many years ago, before the rule of Pariah began. It all started with the peace treaty of the two nations." Said Skulker causing all the ghosts to look down and disappointed. Danny then looked around and saw that it was a difficult subject for the ghosts.
"So what happened?" asked Danny curiously.
"The two nations known as the Dragon blood and the Dark Sin had finally decided to end their feud. They decided that they no longer wanted to fight but wanted peace for their people instead. The Dark Sin decided to show their proof by giving the Dragon Blood one of their treasured artefacts known as the Crown of Fire." Said Skulker which made other ghosts shiver at the name. Danny then noticed how all the ghosts began changing their emotion when he said that name.
"So what's the Crown of Fire?" asked Danny.
"It is one of the legendary ghost artefacts that has the power to destroy the world but it can only do so when it is combined." Said Skulker.
"Combined?" asked Danny.
"Well get to that, anyways after they gave the artefact. The Dragon Blood decided to return the favour by offering them a chance of marriage with their children. The Dragon Blood had sent their daughter, the most beautiful ghost in all of the ghost zone. Her name was Grata Draco. Of Course Pariah accepted and decided to marry her. Adding another wife to his collection." Said Skulker.
"Wait, he had more than one wife?" asked Danny.
"Yes, he had many wives. As a king, he was authorised to have many heirs for his kingdom. He also had a son named Pariah Fear. Pariah Fear was a noble leader and wanted the best of his people. It was him who convinced his father of agreeing to the peace that the Dragon Blood had offered." Said Skulker.
Danny was immersed into the history, he had no idea that there was to this than he had realised. He knew that this story also had a reason why he was after Perona.
"So what happened afterwards?" asked Danny.
"Pariah had finally decided to agree to the marriage and decided to marry their daughter. Fear was going to be new leader of the Dark Sin army and therefore could not accept their marriage because of his new duties. Soon afterwards, as the marriage was getting closer. Pariah Fear had decided to visit the Dragon Blood nation to discuss news of their peace treaty. Grata had also returned to her kingdom to visit her family once again…" said Skulker but then he paused. Danny then turned to him to see that whatever was coming, he was gonna have a hard time saying it.
"What happened?" asked Danny. All the other ghosts were looking down in sadness knowing what was coming.
"Grata and Pariah Fear both lost their lives due to a deadly disease known as the Killer X." said Skulker.
"Killer X?" asked Danny.
"Yes, it is one of the most dangerous diseases that the ghost world carries. If not cared for soon, then there is no hope for survival." Said Skulker.
"Oh…..I see." Said Danny.
"And on that day, we lost two of the most cherished ghosts in the entire of the ghost zone. The two ghosts who had made a real difference….gone…just like that." Said Skulker causing all the ghosts to start tearing up.
"So what happened then?" asked Danny. He knew he had to get answers even if it was painful.
"All the ghosts in the world, mourned their loss. Both kingdoms took a huge hit after they lost their children. However, after many years, it all changed…for the worst." Said Skulker.
"What?" asked Danny.
"Furious, Pariah decided to retaliate by waging a full out war on them. He blamed them for the loss of his son and decided to attack the Dragon Blood nation….and destroyed it." Said Skulker.
"Wait, he destroyed an entire nation?!" asked Danny.
"Yes but wasn't enough for him. After he destroyed the Dragon Blood Nation, he took the other half of the artefact that he gave them and made it complete. The Ring of Rage." Said Skulker which made Danny realise that he was talking about the Ring of Rage.
"When he combined the power of the Crown of Fire and the Ring of Rage, he became unstoppable. To a point where he could've become a god. He used his new powers to destroy and take over every part of the ghost world but it was then that the council of the ghost could no longer stand what he was doing. And so they banded together and they barely defeated Pariah. Knowing that his powers were too uncontrollable, they took the Ring of Rage and the Crown of Fire away and locked him in the sarcophagus of forever sleep. Never to be awakened…. or so we thought." Said Skulker.
After hearing the whole story, Danny realised what happened and the cause of their war. A father, broken down and a promise broken between two nations. But something didn't make sense, he didn't understand, Perona didn't fit into the story at all, why was he after her? So many questions left unanswered.
"Well, he currently has the Crown of Fire and now he's waiting for the Ring of Rage. We can't let him get to it. That is why I need your help, I need you all to fight with me and take on death itself. It is only way that we can save our worlds." Said Danny.
"You fool, even if he doesn't have the Ring of Rage, he's still the strongest ghost in the ghost zone. He could wipe you out with a breath." Said Skulker.
"Yeah, you dumb punk. You think we'll waste out lives trying to achieve the impossible? Think again. Now if we're done here, I'm leaving. Those skeletons will soon come back to life and then they'll kill us for sure. I'm leaving while I still can and those of you smart enough can join me." Said Johny as he started walking away. All the ghosts then agreed with Johny and started following him. Just as Skulker was about to leave as well, Danny quickly stopped him.
"What?" asked Skulker.
"I need to ask something, do you know where Ember, Desiree, Dora, Spectra or Kitty are? Cos I lost them before this whole incident happened." Said Danny in a concerned tone.
"I haven't seen them at all and I don't care either. If they're not around then that only means that they're dead. Well….more dead then currently are." Said Skulker before flying off.
Danny just looked down to the ground not knowing what he wanted to do. Everything was happening so fast that he just couldn't handle what was going on.
"Where are you guys….I miss you." Said Danny before looking up and finally realising what he needed to do.
Outside the Fenton works
Vlad was waiting underneath a lamp post waiting for Danny with a smirk since he knew what was coming. Danny then walked out of the front door and went over to Vlad.
"You wanted to see me?" asked Vlad.
"You're putting innocent people in danger. This stops now!" said Danny.
"Really? You figured out the rest of my plot? You know what I'm up to?" asked Vlad.
"That you stole the ring, woke the ghost king, gave the ring to Valerie and now you're waiting for the opportunity to get it back." Said Danny.
"Right, you do know. But even so, I still don't consider you a threat." Said Vlad annoying Danny causing his eyes to glow green.
"What? You mad? What're you gonna do about it?" asked Vlad. Danny then blasted the lamp post above destroying the only light source in the area causing the place to go dark.
"Oh sugar cookies." Said Vlad before Danny blasted him with an Ecto ray and sent him flying to a billboard.
"Not bad, Danny. You're becoming like me with every battle." Said Vlad as he transformed into his ghost form.
"I am nothing like you!" yelled Danny as he transformed.
"Oh you're not? Throwing the first punch, attacking the enemy from the back, using your powers to get back to the people you don't like? You're more like me then you know." Said Vlad before he flew in and punched Danny sending crashing to the ground. Danny then saw the sword on the field and went near it.
"If you're not gonna give it willingly, then I'll make you!" yelled Danny as he grabbed the sword.
"DANIEL! NO! The sword is a signal!" cried Vlad but it was too late, In his frustration. Danny had already pulled out the sword without thinking of the consequences. Just then the ghost dome then started shattering and it fell to pieces. Danny and Vlad then looked up to see that the entire of Amity Park had been transported to the ghost world. And all the Skeletons had begun moving again and started attacking.
"A signal?" said Danny as he looked at the sword but then it started flying off his hand and into the air. He then looked up to see that it went over to the Fright Knight who was on his stallion with Daedra and Pariah Dark standing next to him.
"A signal of surrender." Said Pariah before he sent a huge red Ecto blast at Danny and Vlad causing them to crash on the ground with the full force of the blast. They then reverted back to normal. Pariah then walked down and picked them up.
"Amazing, they're human and ghosts. Is there no end to this day of surprises?" asked Pariah as he charged up his right arm with Ecto Energy.
"Hey stone face, surprise!" cried Valerie as he blasted Ecto goo on Pariah's face. He then dropped Danny and Vlad. Valerie then tried to fly closer to the two so she could rescue them but then Pariah quickly took off the goo and blasted a red energy ray through his right eye. Valerie then quickly tried to dodge then she crashed into the post of the football field.
She then saw Pariah approach her but then she quickly activated her glove blaster but because of all the damage she took, it started malfunctioning. She then quickly took off the blaster before it blew up and revealed her hand showing the Ring of Rage. Daedra and the Fright Knight then quickly notice the ring and fly towards her.
"The Ring! Return it to the King at once!" yelled Daedra as she flew towards Valerie with an electric blade.
"You want it? Then go get it!" yelled Valerie as he placed the ring on a bazooka and fired it off somewhere else. Pariah then quickly took off after the rocket. Seeing her opportunity, she quickly flew over to Danny and Vlad, she grabbed them and took off towards the Fenton shield.
"You shall not leave our duel!" yelled Daedra as she flew after Valerie. She then carried on firing lightning at Valerie but Valerie was doing her best to dodge with what little strength she had left. After finally reaching the Fenton Shield, her glider finally took a hit and she started crashing down. Daedra tried to fly in but the ghost shield prevented her.
"ARGH! This is not over!" yelled Daedra as she carried on swinging her on the shield.
"Actually my servants, it is." Said Pariah as he revealed that he had the ring. He then placed it on his ring finger and unleashed a huge wave of energy which shook the entire town. Valerie then fainted again as he was too exhausted. Vlad then saw Pariah put on the ring and unleashing his full power.
"No…..he has the ring!" said Vlad before he quickly turned intangible and flew off.
At the same time, Danny also woke up and saw that Valerie was covered in injuries. He then ran over to her and looked over but then he turned to see Pariah with both the Ring of Rage and the Crown of Fire.
"Oh no, he has them both!" said Danny in a worried tone.
Pariah, Fright Knight and Daedra all start walking away after claiming their reward but it was far from over for them. Danny then picked up Valerie and took her to his room. He then saw that Star was currently going through her phone in his room but she saw them enter.
"*Gasp* Danny! What happened? Is she okay?" asked Star in a concerned tone.
Just then, Sam opened the door and saw Danny.
"Danny! You're okay! But whoa, what happened to her?" asked Sam.
Danny then clenched his fist and started realising that it was due to his action that it all ended like this. Had he not recklessly pulled out the sword, then none of this would've ever happened. Now Pariah had both the Ring of Rage and the Crown of Fire and the entire of Amity Park was now in danger.
"You name it, Fright Knight, the Ghost King, VLAD! All of my enemies, everything I thought I could handle but couldn't." said Danny in a disappointed tone.
"Danny, please don't blame yourself. It's not your fault." Said Star trying to comfort.
"Maybe not but it is my responsibility." Said Danny as he transformed into Danny Phantom. He then turned intangible and flew down.
"Where did he go?" asked Star.
"Oh no." said Sam.
Downstairs lab
Danny flew in seeing that his family was revealing the Ecto Suit to everyone. He then looked over to the suit and realised that it was his only choice of defeating Pariah.
"While the Ecto-Skeleton can enchance your natural abilities one-hundred fold. Using it could be fatal." Said Maddie.
"Which is exactly why I'll be using it. Because if the suit's going to be killing anyone, it's gonna be me." Said Jack but the Maddie slapped his neck and knocked him out.
"You're already weak from the first time you used the suit. I'll be going in." said Maddie but then Jazz hit Maddie's neck as well.
"Forget it mom, Danny needs both of you. I'm doing this." Said Jazz but then Sam's dad hit her neck.
"I'll do it!" said Sam's dad but then someone else hit him.
"Huh, I thought I had to blast everyone with a ghost ray but this was easy." Said Danny.
He was then about to walk over to the suit but then he quickly dodged a laser blast from the back. He quickly turned to see Valerie in her ghost hunting gear, pointing her laser at him.
"Valerie? What're you doing? (I thought you were with Sam and Tucker)" asked Danny.
"Stopping a thief from stealing our last hope." Said Valerie as she was about to fire again but then Danny quickly used a finger laser to destroy her laser gun.
"Valerie please, let me do this. You're already hurt and this suit drains the user's energy. You won't last with it." Said Danny.
"So? If I don't do this, then who will?" asked Valerie.
"I will." replied Danny.
"You?! You're the last person I trust." said Valerie.
"I know you don't trust me and wanted to rip me apart molecule by molecule. But I want to save this town as well, even if it means risking my life." Said Danny. Valerie didn't respond and just looked at Phantom to see the seriousness in his eyes.
"You better win." Said Valerie as she de-activated her suit and collapsed. Danny then went over and picked her up.
"I promise I will." Said Danny but then he noticed something. He looked over to see that she was wearing the ring he wanted to give her. He was both disappointed and happy at the same time to see the ring. He then smiled knowing that she shared a treasure that he wanted to give her. He thne kissed her forehead and placed her on the chair and grabbed the Ecto-Skeleton. He then took the suit to the roof and got ready as he morphed into his human form.
"Activate neural receptors!" said Danny. Just then a mechanical wire attached itself on Danny's back. The screen then turned on showing all the data to Danny.
"Initiate power up sequence." Said Danny. He then pulled the handles and got the suit to start moving. He then looked to the screen to see that it was charged 100%.
"Great, that'll do." Said Danny. He then heard a noise from the door behind.
"Guys, I can see you over there." Said Danny. Sam, Tucker and Star then go over to Danny.
"Danny, please don't do this. You don't know how strong he's become now that he has the ring." Said Sam.
"Come on guys, you didn't think that it would always be as easy as shoving the box ghost into the Fenton Thermos did you? I'll be back." Said Danny.
"Danny, maybe you didn't know but your mom used the word "Fatal"." Said Tucker.
"I know Tucker but I promise I'll be back." Said Danny. He then saw their saddened expression and realised that it may not be as easy.
"But if there's anything you want to say to me. Now might be a good time." Said Danny.
"I….I…" said Sam but then he saw that Pariah had unleashed his energy and showed his giant head to the people.
"HUMANS! HEAR ME DECREE!" yelled Pariah.
"Well, that's my que. Tuck, I need you to drop the ghost shield on my way out." Said Danny.
"Got it Danny, Be careful man." Said Tucker before backing away. Sam then looked over to him one last time before walking away as well.
He then transformed into ghost form once again. Just then, two new white rings had appeared around the Ecto Suit giving it a new design as well. The Ecto Suit had turned black and white like Danny's suit. Even the F was changed into the Danny's symbol DP.
He then took off towards Pariah as Tucker quickly shut off the shield for a quick second so that Danny could leave.
"I hope I can do this." Said Danny as he carried on flying and found Pariah.
Pariah then turned around to feel a strong force heading towards him.
"Ah I guess the human had one more surprise." Said Pariah.
"What do you mean master?" asked the Fright Knight but then he turned back to see an object fly towards them at super speed.
"Master, what is that?" asked Daedra as she got into a fighting position.
"Worry not my servants, for this young warrior…..is mine." Said Pariah as he walked ahead.
"But master, we cannot let….." said the Fright Knight. Pariah then turned back with an angry glare.
"You dare talk back?" questioned Pariah in an annoyed tone. Daedra and Fright Knight then quickly cower and stepped back at his words.
"F-forgive me master." apologised the Fright Knight.
Just then Danny landed in front of Pariah and looked at him right in the eye.
"So child, are you here to help me warm up?" asked Pariah.
"No. I'm here to defeat you so I can rescue my town and friends." Said Danny as he got ready to fight. Pariah just laughed at the young boy's determination but he wasn't worried in the slightest. Pariah then used his powers to summon forth his ghost mace and pointed it Danny.
"Very well child, let us BEGIN!" cried Pariah as he took the first attack and swung his weapon at Danny. Danny then quickly created a shield and deflected the attack but he was starting to get pushed back from the force of the hit. Danny then quickly used force push to send Pariah back so that he could recover but then he started feeling drained as his power decreased to 97%.
"Okay….I only have a limited amount of energy so I need to end this fast." Said Danny.
Pariah then got back up and saw Danny getting ready for an attack. Danny then started charging energy into his mechanical hands and fired a large energy blast which sent Pariah flying into the air. Immediately afterwards, Danny then flew after him and started hitting Pariah with a barrage of punches but Pariah was blocking his attacks for minimum damage.
Pariah then decided go on the offense and swung his mace hitting Danny directly on the chest. Danny then flew back and crashed on an island trying to recover. He then looked around to try to see the damages but he had no time since he saw Pariah throw his mace at him.
Danny decided to dodge by jumping off as soon as he could but as soon as the mace hit the island, the ground started to break in half. Completely destroying it all.
"Whoa, if I got hit by that, I wouldn't be standing up again." Said Danny. He then checked over to his power and saw that it was 87%. "Come on, I need to do this fast!"
"Okay, time to get serious!" yelled Danny as he charged at Pariah and started sending in punches towards him but then Pariah quickly took to the sky to dodge his attack. Danny quickly followed after him into the air. Pariah noticed him and quickly got his guard up while Danny tried to punch him.
The two were in a fighting frenzy as they were sending punches while dodging them. Both of them dodging and attacking fast but the quick movements of their attacks were sending shockwaves all over the place. Fright Knight quickly grabbed Daedra as the fight was getting so intense that the shockwaves were destroying all the islands around them.
Pariah then quickly backed off from all the fighting and tried to gain some distance.
"Get back here!" yelled Danny as he charged at him again and grabbed his hands. Neither would be pushed back from their attack but then Danny quickly charged up lightning in his hands, shocking Pariah.
"AAAAHHHH!" cried Pariah as the lightning was being channelled into his body. Danny then let go of his hands and then quickly spin kicked him out of the way.
Finding the opening, he quickly went after him and delivered a quick uppercut to his face.
"(This boy….he's strong!)" thought Pariah. Danny then quickly tried to go in for another attack but then he started getting slower as the suit began draining more of his energy. He tried to attack Pariah but since he got slower, Pariah was able to quickly defend his punches one after another. Danny then quickly kicked him directly on the face and sent him flying back.
"Ungh…not good." Said Danny as he looked over to the power to see it was 49%. Danny was trying to rest so that he could get into it again but then Pariah quickly returned.
He zoomed right in front of Danny and punched the suit. The impact sent him flying towards a mountain and crash. But Pariah wasn't done, he then flew towards him and stomped on him to send him further inside. Danny was already thrown inside the mountain but Pariah wanted to be sure and quickly started blasting the mountain with thousands of energy blasts for good measure. He would continuously carry on firing until there was nothing left of the mountain.
Danny then decided to bring out 4 clones and charged at him. Pariah was waiting for his mace to return but then Danny got the upper hand and began attacking. The first clone started blasting him ecto energy, the second quickly jumped on his back and started continuously punching him from behind. The third one started shooting an ecto ray while running around him in circles. The last one however was charging up for a real attack.
Pariah just tried to defend against the four clones but then he noticed his mace returning to him. He then quickly grabbed his mace and swung it at the third clone which was running around. After taking the hit, the clone quickly disappeared but then another clone quickly came in and bashed him from the back.
"Now leave me town alone!" demanded Danny as two of his clones quickly started sending more punches and energy blasts towards him. Pariah then decided he had enough and quickly used his mace to send an energy wave which split both of the clones in half. With two clones gone, there was only one left.
"(This is my last shot.)" thought Danny as he powered up the suit to it's maximum power. The suit then started unleashing an aura as it was powering up. The suit was finally at 29% and he had to use it to the best of his ability.
Pariah just watched as Danny was about to unleash the full power of the Ecto suit. Danny then flew towards Pariah at a blinding speed and kicked him on the head. Even Fright Knight and Daedra were amazed at how quick Danny was. They never even saw him move, he just appeared in front of Pariah.
Danny then started sending in punches directly at Pariah's guts. After a few more hits, he quickly threw in another uppercut. Pariah tried to stand again but then he saw Danny throw an energy blast at him. Pariah quickly put up his guard and took on the hit. But then Danny flew in closer and threw another ecto blast directly at Pariah's face. After the blast, Pariah fell straight to the ground.
"Time to end this!" yelled Danny as he started concentrating all of his magic into his hands and started blasting as many energy blasts as he could towards Pariah. Danny didn't stop even for a second, he just carried on firing without any hesitation. The force of the blasts was so strong that it was even reaching Amity Park.
But then Danny pointed his fists at Pariah one last time and gathered up all of his energy for the last attack. His left arm was charging with electricity while the other was burning up with fire.
"THUNDER FLASH!" yelled Danny as he fired a large energy blast which was large enough to completely swallow the entire island. It was so strong that it even carried on going through the entire of the ghost zone. The blast lasted for a minute but then it finally stopped. Danny looked down to see that the island was no more and Pariah was gone. He was finally down to his last 4% but even then he was feeling drained.
"It's…over." Said Danny.
Fright Knight and Daedra just watched as Danny single handedly destroyed the most powerful ghost in the entire of the ghost zone. They were able to process what just went on.
"I-impossible….the king lost?" questioned the Fright Knight.
Danny then fell on his back…..the suit's back and started breathing heavily as his entire body was sore all over. The suit was almost ready to kill him had he not used all the energy.
"Not bad child." Said Pariah as he was floating behind Danny. His armour took a few hits and his cape was torn. Other than that, he had no other damage.
"N-no….." said Danny as he looked up to see that it was all in vain.
"You are powerful kid but it's no good against the power of the Ring and the Crown. Besides, I had a special surprise. It's called transformation." Said Pariah as he was starting to glow. Pariah's body then started glowing as he absorbed the power of the Ring of Rage and the Crown of Fire. Just then his entire body started to heal of all wounds and it started undergoing change.
After the glow was starting to disappear, in front of Danny was an all-new Pariah. A demonic form with luminous inflamed eyes, shady red skin and dim wings. He also had a large, luminous red eye on the centre of his chest. He also had long green hair with two long red bangs on the front. His skin tone was black with red outlined onyx coloured armour. Lastly, his eye patch was finally removed revealing his draconic eye.
"This…this is my true form. I am the ultimate ruler of all worlds and none shall stand before me. That includes you, boy." Said Pariah as he walked towards Danny.
Danny then tried to use what little energy he had to stand up again but by the time he got up, he noticed something odd.
"Looking for these?" asked Pariah as he was holding two mechanical arms. Danny then looked down to see that the suit's arms were gone. Danny had no idea what just happened, he didn't even see him move or when he attacked. Danny tried to walk towards him but then Pariah simply lifted his hand and pointed it at Danny, firing a laser blast which cut the suit in half.
As the suit finally fell to the ground, the glass covering the cockpit was shattered. Danny tried to use what little strength he could muster and tried to crawl out through the broken glass but it was pointless as Pariah had already caught up to him and stepped on him.
Danny couldn't retaliate or move since his body was completely drained. He was in so much pain since his body was being pushed on the glass of the broken cockpit. Pariah then grabbed Danny by his neck and then started choking him.
"I admit, you were brave to try and fight me. But there is nothing that you can do against the king." Said Pariah as he got ready to attack.
"(I…lost. I never foresaw…this outcome. All is lost.)" thought Danny as he closed his eyes.
"PLEASE STOP!" cried a familiar voice. Fright Knight, Pariah and Danny then turn to source of the voice and when he saw who it was, Danny was shocked. It was Daedra but it was another voice, a gentle and kind. Just then Daedra's necklace started glowing blue and she quickly clutched onto her chest as she was feeling extreme pain. She screamed as she felt a part of her ripping out of her. Just then a blue soul escaped out of Daedra. Right in front of them stood the girl that Danny was meant to protect, but what surprised everyone even more was the fact that she looked exactly like Daedra. Daedra had collapsed from feeling the intense pain.
"P…Perona?" questioned Danny. Even Fright Knight was surprised at what they saw, right in front of stood a girl who looked just like Fright Knight's apprentice came out of Daedra's necklace. However, Pariah was the only one who didn't react surprise manner. Instead he just smiled like he knew.
"T-that girl…..why does she….." said Fright Knight.
"Please….don't hurt him." Begged Perona while shedding tears.
"P-Perona….go…..run." said Danny weakly. But then Pariah threw Danny to the side and started walking towards Perona.
"It has been a very long time, hasn't it. And yet, you haven't aged a bit." Said Pariah.
"Yes it has…..father." replied Perona giving everyone a shock. Danny was just speechless after what she said, Fright Knight was just as surprised. None of them knew that Pariah had a child, especially one that looked so similar to Daedra.
"(T-this has to be joke…she's Pariah's daughter?!)" thought Danny.
"Well, I must admit. This day has indeed been a day of surprises. First I find out about human and ghost hybrids, then I receive my ring and now, it seems I've found my long lost daughter. But now I've had enough, I wasted enough time here. I'll destroy this human and then take over their home." Said Pariah as he walked over to Danny but then Perona quickly grabbed his hand.
"Father please, I beg you. Do not kill him. He is just a child." Said Perona.
"A child with ghost powers. He can be a nuisance if I don't get rid of him now." Said Pariah as he charged his hand with Ecto energy.
"Please father, there is nothing that he can do. He may have powers but he is too weak. He won't be able to do anything if we just leave him." Said Perona as she was doing her best to save him. Pariah then turned back to Danny who was barely breathing at this point. He then stopped charging his attack and turned away from Danny.
"Very well, I will let the child live for now. But if I see him again, he will die." Said Pariah as he walked off.
Perona then turned to Danny who was still lying on the ground and walked closer to him.
"Do not waste your time with that boy. He's already a lost cause." Said Pariah as carried on walking.
"I understand father but a few words if I may?" asked Perona.
"Make it quick." Said Pariah. Perona then nodded her head and went closer to Danny.
"Danny…. though the time we shared may have been brief. I enjoyed every moment of it. But now it's all over. Please forget me." Said Perona. She had already began shedding tears knowing that it was time for farewell.
"It was nice to see you again…" said Perona but then just as she was about to finish. She then silently said a name that only Danny was able to hear. After that final message, she then decided to walk ahead towards her father and his knights. Fright Knight then ran over to his unconscious apprentice to see that she was going to make it but he had no idea that Perona was inside her this whole time.
Danny however was still processing what he saw and heard. He knew it didn't make sense that she changed who she was all of sudden and now he understood why. There were two ghosts who looked identical, one was shy and timid whereas the other was more confident and ready for battle. Perona however knew that she was in danger and so she protected herself by hiding with enemy.
"P….Perona…Perona….." said Danny. All of a sudden, a surge of power was beginning to burst out of him. Danny then started standing up as his body was releasing a red aura. He was then starting to breathe heavily as his skin was starting to change into scales. His teeth started getting sharper and then his eyes started changing into draconic eyes. He even had horns growing in top of his head and his hands turned into claws.
Pariah then stopped as he was feeling a large power behind him. He then turned his body and looked back to Danny and saw that he was transforming. Perona also turned to see that Danny was undergoing a transformation.
"Impossible." Said Pariah as he looked over to Danny.
"…Danny?" questioned Perona as she saw her friend turned into part dragon.
Danny then looked up to Pariah and Perona and started growling as his body was releasing even more energy. Danny just roared as his body started transforming even more, he then finally grew dark scaled wings.
"Unbelievable, it seems a dragon has awakened within him." Said Pariah.
"But that's impossible. Only Dragovians should have that power." Said Perona.
Danny then charged at Pariah with quick speed, trying to attack him but the Fright Knight got into a battle stance.
He then quickly took out his sword and charged for Danny. He quickly swung his sword towards Danny but Danny just stood there and took the attack head on. Danny then used his arm to block the attack and when the blade came in contact with Danny, it didn't even leave a scratch. Danny's arms were covered with strong dragon scales.
Danny then punched Fright Knight to the ground and turned his attention to Pariah again. Pariah just watched in amusement as his commander was easily defeated by Danny's new form.
"Impressive, this boy has potential." Said Pariah.
Danny just charged at Pariah in hopes of a successful attack but Pariah was still stronger. Pariah simply grabbed his arm before the punch landed on his face. Pariah then charged his other hand an energy ball and threw it directly at Danny's stomach. Danny then flew back and crashed on the ground.
"You may have new powers but you cannot control them." Said Pariah as he got ready to attack again.
Danny was knocked out cold. Pariah got ready attack again but then he quickly turned his body and saw an energy blast headed his way. He quickly created a shield to stop the attack. He then turned back to see that Danny was gone and so was Daedra.
"Where did he go?" questioned Pariah as he was looking around. But there was no trace of either of them. Fright Knight was finally waking up after the attack and saw that Danny was gone.
"Where is he? Where is Daedra" questioned Fright Knight.
"It doesn't matter. As long we have her, that is all that matters. Come, we must leave." Said Pariah.
"But my lord, Daedra's life in danger." Said Fright Knight.
"Silence! We have what we needed. For now, we will return to the castle." Said Pariah.
"Of course my lord." Said Fright Knight.
Meanwhile with Danny
Danny was still in half dragon form being carried away by a figure in a black cloak. They were also accompanied by 4 other ghosts who were also carrying Daedra.
"How bad is it?" asked the first ghosts.
"He's needs help quickly. He lost too much blood and this hole in his stomach isn't making it any better." Replied the other ghost.
