Chapter 6: Meeting The Phantom Ranger
Previously
"Now, if I was The Phantom Ranger, and in a way...I am...where would I hide the piece of the infi map..."Danny muttered as he looked around the bedroom. After a few moments, he was about to give up, only to notice something sticking underneath the mattress of his doppelgangers bedroom.
Wasting no time, Danny pulled it out and saw that it was the DP belt and buckle that The Phantom Ranger was wearing and it's holsters...and he also saw something inside the holster.
"I KNEW IT!..."Danny exclaimed as he grabbed the piece of the Infi Map in relief.
"I knew that I'd find it..."Danny said, happy that he managed to find it and nothing went wrong.
"TRESPASSER!...'Another voice called and Danny turned around and saw his doppelganger at the entrance of the door...with a shot gun in his hand...
"I spoke too soon, didn't I?..."Danny muttered, as he was now face to face to his very angry looking look-a-like.
Yeah, it seems things Murphy's law just kicked in...
Earlier
Young Daniel James Fenton, son of local farmers and aspiring inventors, Jackson and Madeline Fenton, younger brother of Jasmine Fenton and the only boy of the family, had been left in charge of taking care of his family's farm while his pa, ma and older sister went to the county fair with another of his father's kooky contraptions and they would be away for a few days.
Daniel didn't mind, he loved all of the critters on the farm and he was used to working hard. He was now at the stables, feeding Spirit, his ten year old white stallion, that was born on their farm when he was a little boy and they practically grew up together.
'Eat up, boy...y'all certainly earned it...'Daniel said as he gave his trusted steed some extra oats, which the worse ate vigorously, while Daniel petted him a bit.
After he finished feeding him, Daniel was about to go tend to the crops, but decided to go get something to drink before then. He had worked up a thirst earlier this day. The dark haired boy entered his family home, was in the kitchen but before he could drink anything, he suddenly heard something happening.
Upstairs..
'What in tarnation?...'Daniel said, before his eyes narrowed and he immediately grabbed the Fenton family rifle, which they mostly just used for hunting or to scare off anyone foolish enough to try and steal from them.
The dark haired farm boy carefully walked up the stairs, being quiet as a mouse in order to get the drop on whoever was foolish enough to break into his home.
He was upstairs and could hear that the noise was coming from his room. He quickly opened the door, pointed the gun and saw a stranger in his room, getting his grubby mitts on his stuff.
'TRESPASSER!..." Daniel shouted as he kept pointing his gun to the now wide eyed intruder.
Main Danny cursed under his breath while Western Danny kept the shot gun pointed at him, blue eyes met blue eyes, due to Main Danny having morphed back indoors, one pair was nervous and the other was glaring.
"Uh...hi?..."Main Danny said and his alternate self kept glaring at him, with his finger on the trigger of the shot gun.
"TRESSPASER!..."His double shouted again and was about to shoot, only for main Danny to raise his hands in surrender.
"WAIT! Don't shoot, don't shoot! I'm not here to cause any trouble!..."Main Danny said hurriedly, while his doppelganger rolled his eyes, obviously not believing him.
"Y'all break into my home, go through my things and then y'all say y'all ain't out to cause trouble?! What kind of fool do y'all take me for?...'Western Danny accused as he kept pointing and Main Danny sighed.
It's not that he was fearing for his life, he could easily become intangible and fly away, but he had a gut feeling that doing that was just going to open up a whole new set of problems, so the less powers he shows for now, the better. It's a good thing he was in his human form right now and still wearing that mask he "borrowed" earlier.
"Look, I know this looks bad, but...but please...just let me explain...I don't mean you any harm...'Danny said, even dropping the accent at this point and his other self kept sending him glares.
"Oh please, this here is the Fenton Family Farm and y'all ain't no Fenton..."Western Danny yelled at him.
That gave main Danny an idea...a risky one but it might be his only way to calm this guy down without having to explain his situation...
"Actually...I kind of am ..."Danny said as he took the handkerchief off and his other self actually lower his shot gun in shock as his own eyes widened.
"What in tarnation?...'Western Danny exclaimed in shock as he actually let his gun go and then walked closer to the other Danny, looking at him like he saw a ghost or something.
Since in a way, he has.
The last time Danny was in a situation like this, it was when he used the Fenton Ghost Catcher to make two of himself and it went all the way south. Now, here he is, facing against another Danny and the only difference between them now is their clothes, other than that, they could be mirror duplicates.
Heck, they are duplicates in a sense, and the western Danny Fenton looked stunned and even whistled a bit in astonishment.
"Wooweee…we must be kin or something…this is sure uncanny…we could almost be twins or something..."Southern Danny said while the other Danny nodded.
"Well…sort off…I'm not from around here..."Danny said as his other self even started poking at him, for some reason.
"Could you please not do that...'Main Danny said and his other self stopped.
"Okay...y'all got my attention, if you really are one of my kin, I guess I can let you talk...so talk...and it better be the truth, if not, kin or not, I don't tolerate no threats..."Western Danny said with edge in his tone and Main Danny sighed.
"My name is Danny Fenton...I am...not from these parts and I am...looking for someone and something..."Main Danny said.
"Now are you trying to fool with me, how is it that we are both Fentons, we both look the same and we both got the same first name?...'Western Danny demanded.
"I guess both of our mother's liked that name...'Main Danny lied smoothly, while his other self kept giving him a look.
"Y'all said you were looking for someone, who is it and why?..."Western Danny asked, wanting to get this over with so he can go back to tending to the animals and crops.
"The Phantom Ranger..."Main Danny said and his other self's eyes widened.
"I need his help and I have reason to believe he is around here...'Main Danny said, before sending him a smirk... "You wouldn't happen to know where to find him?..."He asked in a playful sort of way and he saw his other self starting to sweat bullets right now.
"N-No...why would you think that? I'm just a simple farm boy...what would I know about some masked hero?...'Western Danny asked in a nervous tone.
"Maybe, because...in a way, you are him..."Main Danny said, deciding to get to the point.
His other self's eyes widened, and immediately, he went into denial, even fake laughing right now.
"You...You honestly think I am The Phantom Ranger?..why would you think that? He's some tough hombre, I am just a simple farm boy who spends most of my tending to the sheep and barn animals..."Western Danny said in a nervous voice, and Main Danny wasn't buying it.
"You can cut it out, I know that he's you...look, we're both boys here, so let's-
"Boy?! In these parts, I'm considered a man, I'll have you know.." Western Danny said in an indignant way but it's obvious he was just trying to change the subject.
"Whatever...I know that you are The Phantom Ranger and that white horse on your property is his horse..."Main Danny said, having saw a white horse in the stable when he flew onto the property.
Western Danny, however, remained in denial mode.
"You ain't got no proof of me being The Phantom Ranger...and besides, there are dozens of white horses in this town alone…it doesn't mean nothing…"Western Danny shouted.
"I know that you are him...'Main Danny said with his arms crossed.
"Are you calling me a liar? I am NOT The Phantom Ranger and my old boy out there ain't Spirit..." Western Danny shouted, all the while Main Danny had a smirk on his face.
"I never said the horse's name..." Main Danny said in a coy tone.
"He...he's always saying "Hi-Ho Spirit"...everyone here has heard him say that, so that's what his horse is called..."Western Danny said and Main Danny rolled his eyes, getting tired of this.
"Then explain why did I find this under your bed?...'Danny said as he pulled out the DP belt from behind him and the other Danny gasped as he grabbed it.
"It's the same belt I saw on The Phantom Ranger when he fought against Dash and his cowboy goons, so I knew that it's yours..."Main Danny said and the western one looked like he was about to go into a panic attack.
"Okay, fine..I'm The Phantom Ranger and Spirit is my horse...happy?..."Western Danny shouted and Main Danny smiled.
"Chill man, I promise that I won't tell anyone...'Main Danny said, only for his doppelganger to look confused.
"Chill?..." Western Danny asked and Main Danny could have smacked himself, he is suppose to act like he is not of this world until further notice.
"I mean...calm down...I swear I won't tell your secret..."Main Danny said and his double looked at him in suspicion.
"How can I be so sure that I can trust y'all?...'Western Danny demanded, making it obvious that he doesn't trust him.
"We are both Fentons...I swear...'Main Danny said and Western Danny looked suspicious, he looked into his eyes, to see if he could find any dishonesty in them, after a few moments, the young cow boy just sighed.
"Fine...if y'all really are a Fenton, I will trust ya, but you better keep your word...a man who doesn't keep his word ain't welcome in these parts...'Western Danny said in a warning tone.
"I understand..so, now that we got that out of the way, I really need your help and to ask you some questions...please..."Main Danny asked and his western doppelganger sighed.
"Uh...and here I thought the hardest thing I had to do today was sheering the sheep...'Western Danny muttered, before turning to his look-a-like..
Fine..."He muttered and the other Danny smiled.
That's one bullet that has been dodged...literally.
Downstairs
The two Danny's went downstairs and were now in the old fashioned living room, with Western Danny pouring some tea from the kettle before he sat in the rocking chair, while his look-a-like sat on the old fashioned sofa.
"Alright, what is it that y'all want to know?..."Western Danny asked and Main Danny blinked, before addressing him.
"Well, before I ask for your help, could you please tell me...how you became The Phantom Ranger...and why you are trying to hide your powers...I can tell that no human can be as fast, strong or jump as high as you can...so, care to explain?..." Main Danny asked and his alternate self sighed, unable to believe that this strange knew about his powers.
He was careful to be discreet with the towns folk, who just see him as a very skilled cowboy...but it seems that this feller here is more observamt
"I knew I was going to have to tell somebody someday...okay, look, my name is Daniel James Fenton, and I am The Phantom Ranger... it all started like this...'Western Danny or Daniel then began to explain his tale.
Of how and why he became The Phantom Ranger.
