Welcome back! This is my first Danny Phantom FanFiction, so please endure my occasional OCC aspects and moments. I still need future ghost ideas for some chapters! So send me your ideas for both enemies and allies to the ever-growing Team Phantom. If I like the idea then I'll add that character to the story! Also I'm completely disregarding the whole "humans are the ghosts in the ghost zone" concept because then some of the situations wouldn't be as challenging for the high school students.
Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom and this is non-profit. Also I used a translator for the language being spoken, I don't own that either.
Claimer: I own Sam's Ghost Forms.
Chapter 3
As Sam was holding onto the cold diamond that represented her ghost powers just trying to find the will power to transform, Skulker was laughing from above. That laughter gave Sam a new resolve to continue the fight. She quickly opened her now neon green eyes. Quickly following, the alien and somewhat comforting purple rings appeared around her waist. Not wasting any time, the rings traveled across her body, switching her human form for a ghostly one. Silently applauding herself, Sam smirked at the fact she managed to transform back before she hit the ground. But Sam knew that she didn't have enough time to pull up, so she used her momentum and instead of going straight down, she became parallel to the ground and shot off towards the left.
Then pulling up she was eye level with a surprised Skulker," so you are a bit better. Your pelt will be valuable, but not as valuable as the whelp's pelt. I wonder what he would say when he finds out that his girlfriends pelt was hanging above my fireplace?" He charged at Sam with his ecto-guns ready. She met his challenge, her Ghost Rays enveloping her hands. The two clashed and it ended up being a test of strength. Sam somehow managed to shove Skulker off her and place a Ghost Ray right where his head meets the rest of his armor. Skulker's head blew off its hinges and started falling. Sam flew over and caught it, she phased her hand in and pulled out a small green blob, Skulker's true form and popped the lid off the thermos hanging around her deactivated Spector Deflector. Throwing Skulker into the air, he got caught in the light blue beam. Before he was fully in the thermos he screamed out," I will have all the Phantom's pelts!" When he was safely in the thermos, Sam put the lid back on and slowly floated to the ground.
Her transformation rings appeared again turning her back into a human. She started walking slowly towards Dora's kingdom, but Sam wasn't making much progress due to how tired she was. After an hour of walking Sam couldn't move anymore, she started leaning to the left then the right before she collapsed. Before the wonderful world of darkness claimed her, Sam could have sworn that she heard voices. Her eyes were struggling to stay open. Sam saw a bunch of things come and surround her. Despite how close the things were close to her, Sam couldn't make out anything they were saying. She felt herself being picked up before the darkness fully enveloped her.
"She's coming around, get the others up." A voice said, Sam tried to figure out if the voice was male or female. Though she couldn't decide which, the only thing she could tell was that the voice was familiar. All Sam wanted to do right now was sleep, but before she could return to the realm of eternal darkness, another voice stopped her.
"Is she ok?" Was what this voice said, unlike the previous one, Sam could clearly tell that the voice belonged to a female.
"She better be or I'm sure that a Phantom would send her on a one-way trip to Dora's isolated castle till they could figure out how to get everyone home!" Another voice shouted, not out of anger but out of worry. Just the sound of the voice wanted Sam to return to the world of the light. Forcing her eyes open, Sam slowly looked around. She had something covering her mouth and nose, and besides the smell of plastic disinfectant hung heavily in the air. This confused Sam, as she tried to sit up. But then a gentle hand pushed her back onto the bed. The hand felt cool, not freezing cold but a refreshing cool.
She looked up the arm to see that it was in fact Danny's hand. Then holding onto Danny's other hand was his sister/cousin Danielle, who had a worried look on her face. Next to Dani were Tucker and Valerie and finally behind them was a ghost. "Where am I?" Sam quietly muttered as she remained under the covers and the oxygen mask off her face.
"The medical ward in Queen Dora's kingdom. You've been out for a week. When you were still unconscious after the first two days, you had us all scared." Danny explained as the realization of what Sam did hit her. Sam frowned and shook her head once everything sunk in.
"Sorry, with you and your powers messed up, Dani too far away to help and then Skulker threatening the students I didn't know what else to do." Sam whispered quietly, realizing the trauma that she put her friends through. Dani grasped both her hands and looked at Sam. The only thing in her eyes was understanding and relief.
"Both of us get it, if the roles were reversed in any way then we would of also done the same thing."
"Great now can I get out of here?" Sam asked desperately, looking at the group. She wasn't terrified of hospitals, nurses' offices, or even doctors offices, but there is only so much of disinfectant a girl can take before going crazy. Though her cries for freedom were met with an outburst of laughter the loudest coming from the self appointed jokester of the group.
"You are fine to leave Dame Samantha, though Sir Daniel and Sir Tucker requested we keep you her for an additional few days to determine what your normal vital signs are." The ghost spoke, a female appearing about the age of sixteen. Unlike most ghosts in Dora's kingdom, her skin was pale with light blue eyes, long brown hair that was braided, she also had a floor length green dress with leather going from her right shoulder to her waist then around her waist. Attached to the belt were various bags that held various herbs, potions, and teas. "I'm Lady Eleanor, Queen Dora's best apothecary at your service." She bowed towards the entire group.
"Sir Daniel? Sir Tucker? You two aren't hearing the end of this one for awhile." Sam smiled and laughed at the two boys who weren't making eye contact with anyone. "But fine I will stay here until you deem that I can leave. But I thought we brought this area out of the dark ages?" She asked a bit confused at some of the terminology Lady Eleanor used.
"We did Dame Samantha, though due to the length of time that everyone was left in the Dark Ages, no one really wanted to move forward completely. So many things here are still found only in the medieval time period. Though they have advanced in language, politics and my favorite technology!" Tucker explained smiling widely when he mentioned his favorite thing in the world.
"And the students, Mr. Lancer and most importantly Danny's parents?" She asked, feeling sorry for Dani and Danny who had to lie to their own parents.
"Fine, they have relaxed now after a week of being here. Some of the ghosts have actually been teaching lessons on the Dark Ages and such. They are a lot better than Lancer." Valerie smirked as she explained what's been going on. She was mentally laughing at how mad Lancer was when his class paid much more attention to the ghosts versus himself.
With everything explained, Tucker, Valerie, Danny, and Dani left Sam alone to get some rest. Though not going to openly admit that, she was actually quite grateful. With the medical war quiet, she drifted off to the comfort of her own dreams.
Four days later...
Sam was discharged from the medical ward with a clean bill of health and normal vital signs for Tucker. He was semi-right about Sam's core. It was a neutral one that surprised the group slightly. Mainly the fact that her ghost form resembles Danny and Dani's they assumed she was going to have an ice core as well. As soon as she was released a tournament was announced for the next day.
Since humans couldn't fly, Queen Dora declared that it would be a ground only battle. No powers were allowed of any kind. It was pretty obvious who was going to sign up. In the end the list of people who signed up were: Danny, Sam, Valerie, Dash, Kwan, Nick, Justice, Laura, Tucker, and Dani along with a few of the other ghosts. The fact that Tucker, Danny and Dani signed up surprised the jocks. Dash, Kwan, and Nick wasn't worried about training so they blew the rest of the day off.
Everyone else got familiar with how to hold a sword, shield, or polearm. Along with being able to move around in the light or heavy armor that they chose. Danny was grinning in anticipation and secretly asked if Dora could place Dash against him. She agreed while the brackets were being set up.
The next day, Sam was getting suited up in her armor. She wore a black helmet that covered her nose along with white accents. Her black breastplate had a white "S" with a "P" inside on her chest. Then on her right shoulder was the inscription of a gryphon and on her left was a triquetra. The oval on the left was outlined in light blue, while the middle oval was white and the oval on the right was a bright green. Where the ovals overlapped held a roaring gryphon with the Danny Phantom crest on its body. Her arm, wrist, and leg guards were all black with various silver floral patterns inscribed. Her silver shield had the roaring gryphon and logo inscribed onto it. Though what Sam found a bit interesting was what was written on the outer edges of the shield. It read," Two will become six, one of the six originally wanted to hurt the two but then saw the truth. Another just wants to protect the ones she loves, while another is just trying to find what his role is in the grand design. Together the six have to figure out how to work together to defeat two evils. One that was supposed to be removed from the timeline and another long forgotten."
Sam finished reading the inscription and then shrugged it off. She figured that Dora would explain later. She smiled at the fact that she gets to fight Kwan first much to Danny's disappointment. He wanted to cream Dash as the opening act. With her sword in its sheath, Sam stood by the door that would lead out into the arena.
Apparently the battle arena was enchanted with magic that protected everyone from substantial harm. Two years ago she wouldn't believe that was even true but after the whole portal incident, Sam is much more open-minded. The arena would protect against lethal and dangerous wounds but they said absolutely nothing about scrapes, bruises, and most importantly wounded pride. Sam stood up tall and proud as she heard the announcer," the first skirmish of the night is Dame Samantha Manson! Royal knight of Queen Dora and advisor to Prince Daniel Phantom, the future King of the Ghost Zone!"
She rolled her eyes at some of the various titles she's acquired in the last two years. She was also a guardian of the Infamap; Ice-Kin to the Orai or more commonly known as Frostbite's tribe; and probably the most important princess of the Ghost Zone. She smiled at the thought of the last one. Two weeks ago when Clockwork told Danny that he needed to think of a symbol and animal to represent his rule in two years. We brought it up that I agreed to be his queen in the future, though we haven't told anyone to protect my family. So we act like we are just friends and not aware of our feelings for each other. Though it's getting harder each day to hide it.
Clearing my mind and focusing in on my battle, I strode into the arena with confidence in each step. I smirked at Kwan's choice of attire. Though Team Phantom had custom made weapons and armor, we weren't required to wear everything. Kwan on the other hand had only two daggers and a helmet. "Introducing Kwan! Football player at Casper High School!" The ghost announcer finished as the crowd burst into cheers.
Sam looked up to the cheering crowd, Danny, Dani, and Valerie were all sitting in the royal's stands. 'Danny looks so cute in his black and white tunic.' She smiled as she waves to her boyfriend and his adopted sister. Though Danny pointed to his right and I covered my face at the scene unfolding. Tucker was going through the students and having them place bets on who was going to win.
Sam knew that Tucker was in trouble, but now she had to focus in and win. "The rules are simple, the person or ghost to score three hits that draws blood or ectoplasm wins the round. Competitors don't have to worry about hurting the other too badly. The arena is magically enhanced to prevent that. Ready! Set! Fight!" The announcer explained before the two got into a fighting stance.
Sam just stood there with her sword drawn waiting for Kwan to make the first move. She didn't have to wait too long for him to do so. He charged right at her and aimed for two slashes on her shoulders. She smiled and brought her shield up at the last moment, effectively blocking Kwan's attack. Then Kwan went for Sam's exposed shoulders, with his left dagger. Sam simply just jumped out of the way as Kwan stumbled forward.
Getting mad that he couldn't hit the Goth, Kwan took one of his daggers and threw it at Sam. If she wasn't experienced in ghost fighting then the dagger would have hit. But instead she bent backwards, her hand touching the ground as the dagger harmlessly sailed over her head. Figuring that she might as well finish this battle she charged at Kwan her sword swinging around.
Sam looked like she was aiming for his stomach, but she was actually aiming for his shoulder. Kwan jumped out of the way to avoid the impending stomach attack. But that meant he left his arms and shoulder open. Sam was expecting that and got three quick attacks off on the recovering Kwan. "First, second, and third strike go to Dame Samantha!" The announcer shouted as the crowd burst into a mix of cheers and groans. Sam could already tell who was groaning and cheering. The people who made bets with Tucker were now paying up and the rest were cheering at the show.
Back in the changing area, Sam just took off her helmet and flicked her hair around. Placing it on the armor rack she smiled and headed out. She was now wearing black pants with a white long sleeved shirt and a black tabard over the shirt, with the tabard showing her new logo on the front and then the roaring gryphon with Danny's logo on the chest on the back. On her way out she saw Danny starting to get ready," don't hurt his pride too much Danny." She smiled and walked out.
Danny smiled as Sam left him to prepare and nodded at her request. Danny was amazed at what he saw his armor was all light blue with black accents. Putting on his breastplate, Danny noticed what the black was representing. The black was his ghost side and the light blue was his human side. When he's normal he has access to some of his ghost powers that help him. It's showing the balance between his two sides. He was greatly impressed with the craftsmanship as he continued to put on his shin, wrist, and arm guards. Finally he put his boots and helmet on, his helmet covered his entire face except a T that showed his baby blue eyes, nose and part of his mouth. His choice of weapons was a long three pronged pike with a black shield strapped to his back. His shield also had the writing that Sam's had on it with the triquetra in the various colors on it.
Ready to go Danny stood by the door into the arena. He rolled his eyes when he was being described by the announcer," presenting Sir Daniel Fenton! Royal knight to Queen Dora and advisor to Prince Danny Phantom the future King of the Ghost Zone!" The door opened and Danny strode out with the posture someone would only see in Phantom. He didn't care because he could finally give some payback on fair ground.
'Yeah, I'm the advisor to myself.' He though for a minute and laughed, 'this isn't fair at all, but hello misplaced aggression.' He grinned in anticipation, no one can yell at him for doing this so everything was fair game.
"Now introducing the Casper High's own football quarterback! Dash Baxter! "The announcer stated as he strode onto the field waving his hands. The crowd was going nuts at his appearance. Just like during Sam's fight, Danny and Dash were having bets placed on who would win.
"Ready!" Dash drew out his long sword while Danny readied his pike.
"Set!" Both boys tended up for the start of the fight.
"Go!" Dash charged straight at Danny his sword perpendicular to the ground. He was slightly better equipped than Kwan. He had a steel breastplate with shoulder pads and wrist guards on. Danny just jumped out of the way and stood up looking bored. He placed his pike on his back and sat down.
Dash spun around and was mad," Fen-turd! Stand still so I can hit you!" He cried out as he charged back at Danny. Danny didn't look interested and rolled through his legs as Dash brought his sword down. With the force he used, Dash's sword actually got stuck in he ground. While Dash was trying to get his weapon out Danny stood up and sent a roundhouse kick to Dash's stomach. The force of the impact sent the jock skidding a few feet before standing back up. Pulling his pike out, Danny beckoned Dash to come and attack him. Dash response with a roar and charged Danny. Though Danny was expecting that so he slammed his pike into the ground and delivered a nice kick to his head by using the shaft of the pike as a pole to gain momentum.
There was a gasp going through the crowd as Dash struggled to get up. Danny walked over at the wavering Dash and just pushed him with one finger. He fell over with a large crash. "Dash cannot fight any longer! Sir Daniel is victorious!" The announcer shouted out, as the groans were louder then the cheers. Danny smirked and walked off the battlefield with various Ghosts coming to drag Dash off the arena.
The battles continue on for another few hours, Tucker still was betting on the battle outcomes. Valerie was facing off Nick, it was a close battle but Valerie came out on top with a sweeping kick to score the last hit in. When Tucker found Justice, he somehow managed to win by dodging all of Justice's attacks and striking when her guard was down. Laura lost to Merek just because Merek was a better swordsman and more experienced than Laura. Finally Dani just moped the floor with Brom. It was no contest between the two, Dani won in about a minute after they were allowed to start.
The five victors were chattering all in their battle armor walking to the mess hall. Tucker's armor had the color triquetra on his left shoulder and the gryphon on the right shoulder. The main color in the armor was orange, but there was a good deal of black and silver. The way that the armor was designed, it appeared that the orange was supporting the black. Tucker had his helmet on his side; his entire face was visible compared to Danny or Sam's helmet.
Valerie's armor was almost like Tucker's except on the front it seemed like the red was fighting with the black but on the back of her armor, the red and black were actually in harmony. The triquetra and gryphon on their respective shoulder pads. Her helmet showed her entire face also, but the helmet was pure black with orange mixed in.
Dani's armor was exactly the same as Danny's but instead of the light blue, her armor was silver and black. Though something that her armor had that no one else did was the symbol for harmony. Ying and yang that symbol was surrounded by gold in her back. Though Dani wore no helmet, instead option for a silver and black circlet band around her head.
The friendly and happy chattering stopped when a ghost stopped in front of the two humans and three half breeds. "Sir Daniel! Dame Samantha and Danielle! Queen Dora is in trouble! She needs your help Aragon has escaped and is attacking her!" The messenger screamed before passing out.
Two flashes of light blue, and one of purple later, stood the entire Phantom family. Though Danny and Dani noticed something a bit different, the armor that they were wearing just moments ago stayed on though the colors were inverted. A shaking went through the castle and various pieces of the ceiling started falling. "They must be fighting outside! Come on let's go!" Valerie shouted as she drew both of her swords. They were near the front gates so they just ran or flew depending who you asked.
As soon as the group rushed out of the front gates they gulped. Aragon was almost a third larger then he was last time. Queen Dora was holding him off from damaging the castle anymore but that's about it. Tucker already had three arrows ready to be shot; Sam had her sword and shield out; while Danny had his pike and shield ready; Valerie had one sword in front of her and the other above her head; and Dani just floated above the group, her hands glowing in preparation to launch some Ghost Rays. "Hey Aragon! I thought you had another 15,000 years in the dungeons!" Danny shouted at him as he took to the sky.
Aragon growled and dropped his sister and looked for the insignificant whelp that dare challenged him. He eventually saw the three small humans and two halfas. He smirked; he was finally going to get his revenge on Daniel for overthrowing him! "You dare challenge me? I am all powerful now!" He roared and ripped Dora's amulet off of her and placed it on himself. That's when he was officially double the size than what he was when the original trio fought him.
"Well crap, thanks Danny you just made him madder!" Valerie shouted as Aragon flew down to where the group was. Green flames were licking the side of Aragon's face. "Scatter!" Valerie screamed as Aragon launched his large fireball at where the group was just standing. He landed on all fours and roared; Aragon thought he burnt them all to a crisp. But they just ran out of the way. Roaring in frustration Aragon knew that was going to win this battle, no matter what. He was getting his kingdom back today and sending them back to the Dark Ages!
