Penelope's realm
"What has gotten into you Penelope? The dipstick isn't protecting his town anymore, and all we have to deal with is a greenhorn chlorokinetic goth girl who you already mopped the floor with, the dipstick's cousin, that red hunter girl, and a brown-skinned dipstick with a stupid red hat! We could rule this town no problem so why don't you?" Ember asked while only to watch Penelope eating a gallon of vanilla ice cream.
"Ember is right. You haven't been going on conquests like you used too, and you haven't even been at Wily's bar anymore. What is wrong?" Kitty asked only for Penelope not to answer.
"You know what Penelope? We are having a girls night out, and that is all there is too it. We are going to terrorize Amity, and teach those dipsticks the meaning of fear!" Ember continued only for Penelope to wave it off.
"So you are going to just pig out on ice cream all day and lose your girlish figure? I thought your goals where to be beautiful and make other besides your friends and boyfriend miserable! Where is that Penelope at? Don't tell me you are letting Danny's rejection get to you." Kitty said causing Penelope to shake her head.
"I just have a craving for vanilla ice cream that is all. But you know what? You are right. I have wanted to terrorize that town for a while, and I just have so much energy within me that I just want to let it out!" Penelope said releasing her red murky aura from her body causing Ember and Kitty to whistle.
"Wow girlfriend, you look like you could take on Plasmius and tie or even win!" Kitty smiled as Penelope changed from her second form to her third form causing Ember to smile.
"With that look you will be turning a few heads. Now let's teach those goody two shoes who we are, and show them just how wrong they were for doing what they did!" Ember said as she grabbed her girlfriends and vanished into a whirlwind of flames.
While Ember teleported her girlfriends to Amity Park Penelope couldn't help but think about two-week ago when she made her offer to share Danny instead of fighting over him.
Flashback two weeks ago
"Are you serious Penelope? Why are you even making this offer to me?" Danny asked causing Penelope to smile.
"It is simple Danny. I want you and Desiree wants you as well. So instead of you choosing one of us and have the other pissed off why not share and keep the peace. Besides you said you weren't going to be the hero of Amity anymore anyways so that means we aren't enemies anymore. I would rather be spending my time enjoying the finer things and possibly finding love, and I actually can see that within you." Penelope explained causing Desiree to frown.
'You must be joking Penelope? Really love? The only love you may have for me the love of sex. I can't see anything else between the two of us.' Danny thought to himself just before Desiree started speaking.
"Why should I share Danny with you You not only used him to get to his best friend, but toss him out like yesterday's garbage! Danny deserves someone who will treat him as a person not as a boy toy! So no I am not sharing him with the likes of you!" Desiree said only for Penelope to latch onto Danny, and begin rubbing her bosom on his back.
"Do you feel the same way Danny? Do you hate me that much that you will just turn down every man's dream? Think about it. You will have not one but two of the hottest women in the ghost zone as your girlfriends. You will never have to long for attention from a woman again like you were before due to your best friend. I know it may sound weird but I have grown fond of you. Fond enough to try a real relationship with you." Penelope said causing Danny to frown.
'Penelope if you hasn't used me for your sick tricks and I knew you were sincere maybe it might have happened, but even if you are sincere now it won't be happening.' Danny thought to himself before he spoke.
"Even though this is a tempting offer I can't and won't do it. I am not looking for a 100% physical relationship. If I was I would have to break your heart Desiree and get with Penelope. Before you get upset let me explain why. First of all Desiree after what you been through on your part I wouldn't want to use you like that. You have been used enough as it is. You deserve someone who will love you and want to be with you not use you for your body like all the others." Danny explained calming down the wishing spirit.
"Penelope you on the other hand were throwing that kind of relationship at me when you came to me that night. So if I were to get in a relationship like that with you I know I wouldn't be hurting you in the process. However, as I said I am not looking for a physical relationship but one with everything in it. So my choice is obvious." Danny said causing Desiree to smile but surprisingly not causing Penelope to frown.
"Spectra why are you still smiling for? Danny just all but rejected you for me. So why aren't you upset?" Desiree asked causing Penelope to speak.
"Oh wouldn't you like to know?" Was what Penelope said just before Danny spoke once again.
"But no matter who I choose I need to talk with the other person who is after my heart. I want to get that out since I owe that much to her before I start dating anyone be it her, or you Desiree." Danny explained causing Penelope to raise an eyebrow.
"So much loyalty to someone who caused you so much pain. It is a shame you don't place your loyalty in beings who actually deserve It Danny." Penelope said only for Desiree to throw a sledgehammer fist at her hitting her in the face.
"He doesn't need to place his loyalty in a manipulative woman like you! You used him, betrayed him and that is fact! Danny let's leave before this eel tries to use her silver tongue to pour more lies in your head." Desiree said just before she and Danny disappeared into a smoke leaving Penelope alone.
'No I won't do that to him. What the hell am I saying? When it comes to men especially those I want I would do what I do best to get them. So why do I want to play fair now especially to the universe's bitch as well as that spoiled brat of a Goth girl?' Penelope asked herself before smiling. 'Wait why am I worrying everything will go my way relax. Both of them are in similar boats, and with the way they are they won't agree to sharing him which would be the only solution that would work without hurting someone. Especially since both have a bitter taste of being overlooked by the one's they want. With Sam if Danny chooses her Desiree will be hurt, and with her vindictive nature she will want revenge on Sam more than Danny due to Sam being the one causing Danny to choose her. If Danny chooses Desiree Sam won't be happy in the least. Especially since she was overlooked several times by Danny for other women. Either way they will fight, and if everything works right they will perish by the other's hand. I had him in my bed and make the mistake of tossing him out. That is a mistake I do not intend to repeat.' Penelope thought to herself smiling before her murky red aura began to change from murky red to regular red.
End flashback Ms. Shūnenbukai's office after school
Ms. Shūnenbukai sat at her desk going through her paper work when she heard a knock on her door. Upon hearing the knocking Ms. Shūnenbukai sighed.
'It is already my first day, and I am already swamped with complaints about my staff. This school is a true mess. No wonder Danny was on the verge of snapping with who knows how many others.' Ms. Shūnenbukai thought just before she spoke up.
"Come in the door is open." She said just before the door opened to reveal Danny causing her the raise an eyebrow. "How may I help you?" Ms. Shūnenbukai as in a calm tone.
"You told me that my punishment for defending myself this morning was to help you out with the filing work for a month remember?" Danny said causing a switch to flip in her mind.
"Oh yeah I did tell you that. I am sorry child it is just that I have been so busy with the work, and corrupt teachers in this school that I had forgotten your punishment." Ms. Shūnenbukai explained. "But from what I saw today mostly I can tell you are a good kid with a good head on your shoulders. But I have to ask what was that argument you were having with Samantha Manson all about?" Ms. Shūnenbukai asked curious about what had happened.
"Can we not talk about that? I would rather just bury the past and let it stay buried." Danny explained in a mellow tone.
'He has been hurt badly by this girl that is certain. Maybe she broke his heart or something.' Ms. Shūnenbukai thought to herself before speaking.
"Well the filing work is over there. You know how to do filing right? If not I will be glad to show you." Ms. Shūnenbukai asked only for Danny to shake his head.
"Maddie Fenton showed me how to do that sometime ago. Just tell me how you want everything organized and I will do it." Danny said remaining calm.
'He calls his mother by her first name? Man if I was a psychologist this would be a dream student for me seeing as he has a lot of pain in his heart. Or I could be wrong and he is one of those kids with hippy parents who tell their kids it is ok to call them by their first names.' Ms. Shūnenbukai thought before answering his question.
"Just organize them by the name of each file Danny. But the way isn't Maddie Fenton the name of your mother? Why do you call her by her first name instead of mom?" Ms. Shūnenbukai asked causing Danny mood to darken.
"After what those she and Jack Fenton did two weeks ago I will never consider them my parents ever again!" Danny said taking a deep breath to stay calm.
'If I fed of misery I would have hit the jackpot with him. But still him being miserable isn't good. Especially since he was about to snap. We are going to need a school psychologist. Maybe I can find a new one or somehow convince Penelope Spectra to come back. Her reason for leaving was mysterious as well.' Ms. Shūnenbukai thought to herself before speaking.
"Does this have to do with the reason you told Kwan not to call you by your last name Danny?" Ms. Shūnenbukai asked getting a positive answer.
"When the people who are supposed to love you and protect you go on to punish you for doing the obvious right thing instead of showing concern for your child after finding out they were tormented and the suffering they endured they lose the right to be called parents." Danny said in a bitter tone that instantly concerned her.
"I saw the news report, and when I heard the reported story and saw the video feed. I was disgusted that corruption could go so far that it would bring you so close to snapping. If it wasn't for that spirit you would be in jail now wouldn't you?" Ms. Shūnenbukai asked while she watched Danny continue to break down the filing work she had.
"Yeah I owe her my guardian angel my freedom since she took me over, did what I wanted to do to that slime ball and revealed that she did it." Danny thought while smiling at the thought of the 10,000 year old wishing ghost. "But at the same time all I could think about at the time before I wanted to snap was helping said spirit." Danny explained as he continued putting away the filing work.
"What do you mean Danny? While I know what happened to her why did you want to help her so much?" Ms. Shūnenbukai asked causing Danny to sigh.
"When she came to my school that day she went after that slime ball for the crime he commented on her. However, since that piece of garbage abused her powers on a previous day he had a protection wish so she couldn't do anything to harm him. It was then that I made a wish to find out the truth in which he confessed. It was bad enough that he did something like that, but that arrogant slime had the gall to brag about it like it was nothing. I may be just a teen, but that is the number one thing I hate more than anything." Danny explained remembering his past encounter.
'So he has a strong sense of justice. I wonder if he wants to be a criminal lawyer? If so then I can help steer him in the right direction.' Ms. Shūnenbukai thought to herself smiling at the thought.
Ms. Shūnenbukai listened intently as Danny continued to explain the incident for the next 30 minutes while Danny continued to file the paperwork that came in. When Danny was finally finished Ms. Shūnenbukai spoke her thoughts once again.
"If what you said is true Danny, which I have a good clue that it is, as I said before you are a good kid with a good head on your shoulders. However, it seems you have a bit of bitterness in your heart. Both with your parents and Samantha Manson." Ms. Shūnenbukai said with concern. "I saw what happened between the two of you this morning, and you were very cold to her as if you were dealing with those bullies. However, unlike them she wasn't trying to attack or hurt you was she?" Ms. Shūnenbukai said causing Danny to shake his head.
"No she tried to apologize to me for a past incident. However, after what she and Tucker done I will not forgive either of them!" Danny said in a cold tone causing Ms. Shūnenbukai to frown.
"Are you sure that is a good idea Danny? I mean while I don't know what she and Tucker did to make you feel this way, I know from experience that good friends and family is something you cherish and not throw away." Ms. Shūnenbukai explained causing Danny to raise an eyebrow.
"I beg your pardon for speaking out of turn, but I have to ask have you ever felt the sting of betrayal before? If so was it done by someone close to you?" Danny asked in a mellow tone.
"I shouldn't be telling you this Danny but yes I have felt the pain of betrayal Danny. I have also felt it from those I cared as well as loved. However there are two things that are different between us. The first is none of them even attempted to apologize to me or fix the mess that was made like Samantha did, and the second is recently I met someone who actually cares about me. They showed me by their actions that they cared about me, and thanks to this dear friend I started to learn to trust again." Ms. Shūnenbukai explained causing Danny to frown.
"Are you saying that I make up with her after what she did to me, possibly risking the same betrayal again?" Danny asked trying to keep his anger down.
"I am not telling you to do anything Danny. All I am explaining to you is what happened to me. However, as an educator and principal it is my job to guide my students as well as keep this school safe from corruption. So if you want to give any of them another chance you can. However, if you don't that is your decision as well. Just don't let the fear of betrayals control you. It will end up being your undoing Danny. You will end up alone, and that is no way for anyone to live. Especially since life is so short." Ms. Shūnenbukai explained causing Danny to sigh.
"I honestly just want her to leave me alone so I can move on with my life. Those two betrayed me, and I won't forgive betrayals! All that does is leave you open for it to happen again!" Danny said still bitter only causing Ms. Shūnenbukai nod at this.
"As I said before it is your choice Danny. If you want her to leave you alone for good tell her how you feel. However, acting like a jerk when that wasn't what I got from you originally isn't the way to do it. While it is wrong to act like a jerk if you are going to do it do to people who actually deserve it." Ms. Shūnenbukai explained just before the bell rang causing her to sigh. "Your punishment for the day is over Danny, you are free to go. However, please listen to the advice I have given you. Trust me when I say it is no fun to be bitter and alone." Ms. Shūnenbukai said just before she watched Danny leave her office.
As soon as Danny left the office Ms. Shūnenbukai closed all the doors and windows then looked over at the files she asked Danny to sort. As she looked through her paperwork and saw it was sorted well Ms. Shūnenbukai frowned.
"He is so young, yet so bitter and cold. That is going to hurt him in the long run. Well since he is going to be coming here for the next month maybe I can get him to release that bitterness and cold. After all it is my job to help the students of my school." Ms. Shūnenbukai said as several teachers came into her office only for her to glare at them.
"You know the rules you are supposed to knock before entering anyone's office especially when it is a person of higher authority! I didn't give any of you permission to come in!" Ms. Shūnenbukai said causing fear within just about all the adults.
"We all do respect Ms. Shūnenbukai, but even though you are the principal of this school, your actions are disrupting the order of this school! Especially with the younger Fenton. He should have been suspended just like those other boys yet you gave him special treatment." Mr. Faluka said in a firm tone.
"You saw the damage he did to them as well! Two of them had concussions, and one had sustained burns due to skidding on the floor." Ms. Testef added. "Those boys made the school look good and…" Ms. Testef stopped in her rant when she and the others saw the look on Ms. Shūnenbukai's face.
If looks could kill they would be 6 feet under, and it was at this point where Ms. Shūnenbukai said her piece.
"Please explain to me how those boys were making this school look good? I would like to know because the majority of those boys look like they are going to end up in either jail, bum's on the street, or at worst 6 feet in the ground!" Ms. Shūnenbukai asked causing Ms. Testef to speak.
"Those boys have brought our school sport's team several victories, and even a football championship! That makes our school look good." Ms. Testef explained only to receive a hard glare.
"So because they can play sports you let them walk all over their peers and give them immunity from punishment? That is not a good excuse to do something like that! Besides have you looked at our school's GPA? We are at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to academics, and that is what these kids are coming to school for! Not sports which is only temporary, but a good education! In fact if I remember correctly the grade point average those boys need to have to play school sports is a B average. Last I saw only 2 of those boys could actually play while the others should be suspended from playing. Now tell me which of you is in charge of the gym?" Ms. Shūnenbukai asked causing Ms. Testef to raise her hand.
"I want all those boys suspended from the team until they bring their GPA's up to where they need to be! If I find out otherwise you can kiss your Job goodbye do I make myself clear?" Ms. Shūnenbukai said with authority causing the fitness buff teacher to nod. "As for the rest of you, if I find out that any of you are giving any students special treatment you will get the same punishment that Mr. Lancer got! If you try it again I will personally hand your pink slips got it?"
"We understand, however that doesn't excuse you for doing the same thing we did. You gave that Fenton kid a light punishment in comparison to the others with the exception of Kwan. Shouldn't you practice what you preach?" Mr. Faluka asked trying not to wet himself.
'I was so hoping he would say something like that. Time for me to eat him for breakfast.' Ms. Shūnenbukai thought to herself with a predatory smile.
"Let's be honest here. If anything my punishment on those boys was extremely light. There were at least 7 boys fighting Danny which can bring up the laws on school gangs, and we all know that they were attempting to harm Danny. Then there is the case with Dash since he was not only attacking but ordering the other boys around. That right there add the charge of racketeering on the boy. If I would have called the police on those boys, and let them know what they did there would be no sympathy for them in a court of law. Especially with the school records I saw on those boys showing they have a history of this. Each of them would serve 2 years in jail, and Dash since he was racketeering would get 12 years in jail at least. With no high school education a 27 years old Dash Baxter's life would have been destroyed the worst if I did that." Ms. Shūnenbukai explained causing most of them to gasp.
"As for Danny Fenton, since he was only defending himself his punishment if anything would get a light punish if warranted or no punishment if his actions were justified." Ms. Shūnenbukai continued only for Ms. Testef to speak up.
"You saw what he did to those boys, even if it was self-defense he went too far. If he had accidentally killed one of them he would be going to jail for manslaughter!" Ms. Testef said causing Ms. Shūnenbukai to raise an eyebrow.
"You are right on that one Ms. Testef. If Danny would have accidentally killed one of them he would have indeed served jail time due to his actions if he had a bad lawyer. Which is all the more reason why I am going to be harder on my staff! To make sure stuff like that doesn't happen! We already are the news due to the negligence you have shown due to your past actions, and not only that but since you weren't there I will explain what I heard. Danny Fenton even though he was possessed by that spirit was 5 seconds away from snapping. If he wasn't possessed, and did that his life would have been over all because none of you would do your jobs correctly!" Ms. Shūnenbukai pointed out not hiding the disgust in her voice. "But before I get off topic I will let you know this. By law if it can be proven that his extreme physical force was justified than he can get off those charges, and one kid like him versus 6 physically built jocks who are stronger than him coming at him? Try convincing a court of law that his actions weren't justified especially since the staff in the school didn't do their job! If anything Danny shouldn't have been getting punished at all for this situation, however because our school has a zero tolerance policy to violence I gave him that punishment and lengthened it due to the injuries." Ms. Shūnenbukai explained causing one of the teachers to speak up.
"Ms. Shūnenbukai, how exactly do you know about all this stuff? If anything you should be a criminal lawyer not a high school principal." One of the nameless staff said.
"While I majored in education and administration and got my PhD in that, I minored in criminal law and got a Masters in it which are both shown up there." Ms. Shūnenbukai said as she pointed to both her degrees. "It took me 12 years to get both of my degrees and it was worth it. But as to why I choose being a principal instead of a lawyer it is simple. I love young people, and I want to help them get where they need to be without helping criminal scum. Now if you excuse me, it is time for me to be going." Ms. Shūnenbukai explained just before she put away her files neatly, and walked out of her office along with the staff in the school.
A carnival just outside Amity 2 hour later
"I never thought I would come to another one of these again. Not since last time anyways." Danny said as he was eating a stick of cotton candy while holding a silky smooth green hand.
"The last time we were both at a carnival I created a sea of cotton candy, and then you blasted me away." Desiree said with a not to fond smile.
"Funny how things turn out sometimes? One minute you are someone's worst enemy then the next…"
"You are saved by your worst enemy and dating them." Desiree said with a smile on her face.
Desiree at this point however noticed Danny's expression and the look on his face. Worried for her new boyfriend Desiree voiced her opinion.
"What is wrong Danny, your mind is elsewhere instead of on us." Desiree asked with her voice full of concern.
"Don't worry about it Desiree let's just enjoy our first date which will be the gateway to many more." Danny said trying to avoid the subject.
"Oh no you don't Danny, I know when someone is trying to avoid the subject and there will be none of that Danny. Communication is one of the keys to a good relationship." Desiree explained causing Danny to crack.
"Dani, and Jazz are now upset with me. All I did was tell Samantha I didn't accept her apology and I wanted to be left alone, and now they are calling me an insensitive jerk for rejecting her apology." Danny explained causing Desiree to raise an eyebrow.
"What exactly did she say to you, and what exactly did you say back to her?" Desiree asked in concern.
"Since I don't remember exactly Desiree I wish that you could see the entire exchange between me and Samantha this morning." Danny wished causing Desiree's powers to comply.
'Danny we are sorry for what we did to you. We weren't considerate of your feelings, and because of this that fall out happened. I know you are still angry at me and Tucker for what we have done to you, but we have been friends for 8 years. 10 years for you and Tucker. Please don't throw it away over one fight.' Danny and Desiree watched as Sam pleaded to Danny for forgiveness.
'Apology not accepted.' The image of Danny said trying to walk away only for Sam to block his path.
'No Danny I am not going to let you make the biggest mistake of your life.' The image of Sam said adamantly only for a howling wind to be heard.
Desiree continued watching the scene until the memory ended causing Desiree to voice her thoughts.
"While I want to side with you Danny, I can't completely. While I know how you felt, and you were trying to get rid of her the way you did come off was harsh." Desiree explained causing Danny to frown.
"Not you to Desiree, are you really going to side with them on this one as well?" Danny asked not liking what he was hearing.
"No Danny I am not taking anyone's side on this one. I asked to see the memory so I could voice my thoughts on it, and I did. I am not siding with either of you. I know you wanted them gone, but you could have done it in a nicer way. At least that is what I believe." Desiree explained causing Danny to sigh.
"That girl is really stubborn. Maybe as stubborn as me especially when she fights for what she believes in or wants. A simple no wasn't getting through to her as you saw from the memory. However, it seems Dani, and Jazz both think I should forgive them so we can go back to the way it was. Well that isn't happening! The moment I do that is the moment everything else bad will happen." Danny said in a stubborn tone causing Desiree to shake her head.
"That won't be happening Danny. Even if you did go back to being their friends everything wouldn't be the same even if they did do what you expect of them. For one you have a principal that won't tolerate any bullshit especially those who pick on the others. Second those teacher who defend that shit won't be doing that anymore so you won't have to worry about corruption within the school either, and that is just in school." Desiree started causing Danny to think about her words.
"Now let's go outside of school. You aren't the hero of Amity anymore which means no more people shooting at you for trying to protect them, which include your parents. Then there is the fact that you moved in with me so you have no fear of ending up strapped down to a lab table. The biggest fear you may have to worry about is and extra bit of chill on your back from me when we are spooning but that is it. As for the lack of female attention and enjoying it? Well Ms. Manson won't be taking that from you because I am not going anywhere it would take more than a jealous best friend to scare me off" Desiree declared smiling. "So many things have changed for you for the better so doing that one thing won't bring all the nightmares you had back." Desiree explained causing Danny to actually smile.
"You are right about all that. However, even with all that I won't forgive them for that. If it wasn't for you I would have been in jail or worse. Then they had the nerve to lecture me about how I shouldn't have done what I did to that sack of shit." Danny hissed causing Desiree to agree with him.
"On that I 100% agree with you. He actually deserved far worse than being locked in a jail cell with big muscle-bound inmates who are homosexual chubby chasers. If left up to me I had the perfect punishment for him. I would have made him roll a rock up a hill and have him keep doing it until he got into shape. But here is the catch at the end each week whatever weight he would lose he would gain right back." Desiree explained causing Danny to frown.
"Not harsh enough. How about adding some cuts on his skin that have (1) screw worm larvae in them. They will feed off his flesh while doing so, then at the of each day he is healed minus the wounds so more flies can lay eggs in his flesh." Danny said causing Desiree to smile.
"It seems I am rubbing off on you Danny. I have never known you to be so vindictive." Desiree said with a smile.
"I learn from the best in that field." Danny said just as Desiree closed the gap between the two of them. "But I have to ask how did you know I got a new principal that doesn't tolerate corruption or playing favorites? I never told you about her." Danny asked causing Desiree to smile.
"I overheard some of your peers talking about how the new principal shut down what was happening in the school, and I also heard that she didn't play favorite's either." Desiree explained before she placed herself on Danny's lap.
"I know it may open another can of worms to let them back in, but I think you should still forgive them. If there is one thing I value more than anything is our friendship and relationship. Something that would have never happened if not for me letting you get close. Also indirectly while they caused so you so much pain they also brought us together. If you were never at that bar I would have never been able to save you, and you would have never saved me Danny. Plus I could hear no deceit from that girl. If they hurt you again to that magnitude and you don't want to forgive I will stand by your side if you don't want to. But this time I really think that would be best." Desiree continued causing Danny to sigh in defeat.
"While I may be wrong for being wanting to be left alone, the moment I go back to being their friends is the moment I will be back to protecting this rat hole of a town. The moment that happens I become their friend again is the moment I am stuck babysitting a bunch of ungrateful…
"Help somebody help me!" A person screamed only for laughter to be heard.
"We are out in the middle of nowhere at least two miles away from any police. You really think anyone is going to save you now woman?" Said another voice causing Danny to frown.
"The boss is right. There is no one here to help you so you now have two choices. We can do this the easy way and you submit to us, or we can do this hard way where we abuse you still get what we want in the end." Another voice said in a lecherous tone.
The leader looking at his gang memeber frowned at him for speaking out of turn just before smacking him in the head.
"You better be glad you said what I was going to say or you wouldn't be getting any at all. But I as always I will go first!" The first male said only for a beam of green energy to hit him.
"Ok who is the idiot who dare shoot at our…" The third thug never got the chance to finish his sentence as they looked up to see a very livid looking Danny staring down at them.
"Danny Phantom? I thought you quit being this town's hero, since we haven't…" The thug never got the chance to finish his sentence as Danny slugged him which in turn sent the thug flying into a tree.
Danny then made a clone of himself and scooped up the woman taking her out of harms reach while the rest of the gang glared at Danny.
"Why don't you go battle the ghosts like you have done in the past and leave us humans alone? Unless of course you want us to mess up your face." The thug said trying to sound threatening.
Danny upon hearing this flash a very sadistic Cheshire grin that instantly struck bone chilling terror within them. Upon seeing the looks on their faces Danny then remembering the words they said to the woman decided to give them a taste of their own medicine.
"Like you said to that young woman a few minutes ago we can do this the easy way or the hard way. But know this. None of you will be leaving without something broken." Danny said in a dark tone still flashing that sadistic smile.
"There is only one of him and 7 of us! We have him outnumbered!" The human thugs said only for a familiar wishing ghost to appear next to the Danny who was holding the woman bridal style.
"While that is true he has you assholes outmatched." Desiree said just before she created a barrier around them all to prevent escape.
Upon doing so Danny quickly cloned himself 7 times then went to work on the would be rapists. The first one having a bottle in his hand attempted to stab Danny with it only for it to through him. Not giving him a chance to make another move Danny slugged the guy into the barrier which in turn gave the second in command a nasty shock.
'Electric barrier. Nice touch Desiree that will make beating the crap out of these worms even more fun.' The first Danny thought to himself before merging with the original Danny.
The second thug with who was holding a lead pipe took a swing at the Danny clone he was fighting only for the same result of the pipe going through him. Seeing that his weapon was useless he took up a boxer's stance in a futile attempt to defend himself only for Danny to zap him with an energy beam. The force of the blast sent him like the first thug into the dome causing him to get a nasty shock as well.
Danny seeing the third thug so scared he was about to pee his pants decided to play yo-yo with his thug. In the form of kick his victim into the shield with enough force to shock him and make him come back to him.
"Stop shocking yourself, stop shocking yourself." Danny said each time he would send him flying into the electric done until the third thug was extra crispy.
The third clone went to check for a heartbeat and upon finding one smiled.
By this time the other four thugs knowing they couldn't win decided to take the easy way out only for the remaining Danny clones to stop them.
"Just where do you think you are going? Trying to take the easy way out to avoid my wrath?" Danny said while waving his finger.
"Please spare us. We know we were wrong now please…" The fourth thug never got the chance to finish his sentence as Danny slugged him with enough force to not only break his jaw but send him into the shield frying him until he was unconscious.
"If there is one thing I hate more than rapists, it is rapists who are cowards! Were any of you going to give that woman mercy when she begged for you not to rape her? I don't think so. So why should I show any of you any mercy?" Danny said in a dark tone.
"I told you that this was a bad idea, why didn't any of you listen to me? Now because of you idiots we are going to get our asses kicked!" Said the 7th thug who decided to stare Danny in the face and not flinch while doing so.
Danny seeing this went on to pulverize the 5th and 6th thugs right before all the other Danny's merged into one and looked at the last thug.
"Go on Phantom kick my ass like you did my idiot friends. I won't beg for you not to as I deserve this as much as them. I will take my beating with dignity." The last thug said just before Danny punched him in the gut hard enough to send him flying into the shield.
Danny then saw that the leader of the gang was outside of barrier. Seeing his posy under attack but knowing he wasn't a match for Danny tried to run away only to be trapped under Desiree's escape proof claw. Desiree then grabbed the leader, and with little effort flung him into the barrier while making it shock him in the process of entering it. Danny seeing this then flew out of the barrier before merging with his final clone.
"Thank you Danny. I don't know where you have been the past 2 and the half weeks, but I am glad you came back to save me." The woman said causing Danny to shake his head.
"I just happened to be at the right place at the right time. I couldn't care less about this rat hole of a town." Danny said in a cold tone that surprised the woman.
"But if you hate this town why did you save me for when I live in this town?" The woman asked.
"While I hate this town I despise rape and rapists even more. To me they are somewhere between a cockroach and the white stuff that accumulates in your mouth when you are really thirsty." Danny explained once again just before the woman heard a familiar voice.
"That is my daughter and husband. You can put me down now so I can get to my family." The woman said just before Danny complied with her request.
It was then that Danny and Desiree turned invisible and watched the heartwarming scene while the woman explained to her husband what happened. While this was going on the cops who had followed the husband and daughter got to the scene just in time to see the knocked out thugs in the barrier of electricity. It was at this point that Desiree snapped her fingers and the barrier vanished without a trace.
"I am sorry that I couldn't treat you to a better first date Desiree, but those idiots had to choose today to try and rape someone right in front of me." Danny said with annoyance in his tone.
"It is ok Danny I am proud of you. In fact I would have been more upset if you did nothing instead of doing what you did. Now let's go home Danny." Desiree said smiling just before the two of them left the scene viva teleport.
With Dani, Valerie, Sam, and Tucker at this same moment
"Damn it, this isn't supposed to be happening! Why are we getting our butts kicked so badly again!" Sam hissed as she dodged Ember's flaming mane.
"The answer is simple. It is because Baby-pop isn't helping you losers anymore. I mean why else would he give us all the green light to attack this town two weeks ago?" Ember said without shame.
"You lie you flaming haired bitch! Danny would never…"
"It is true believe it or not. I was there when he told Bertrand that he didn't care for this town. Heck he even said tell everyone that he was no longer watching over this town. That was when everyone decided to start attacking." Penelope said with a smile on her face.
"Shut your pie hole you redheaded bitch!" Sam hissed as her mind vines reached out and to catch Kitty, Ember and Penelope.
Penelope was able to dodge the attack with ease, however Kitty and Ember weren't so lucky. Before Ember's pyrokinetic powers could kick in Tucker used a Fenton Thermos to capture both Kitty, and Ember with ease leaving Penelope by herself.
"It seems once again the tables have turned Spectra, and this time Danny won't be unleashing a storm to help you." Sam said with a smile on her face.
"Yeah but at the same time he isn't helping you out either. Since he isn't here that must mean what I think it means." Penelope said smiling which struck a nerve with Sam.
"What are you smiling for, it is four against one! You don't stand a chance!" Sam hissed.
Penelope at this point looked around feeling the emotions around her. The negative emotions she felt empowered her even more, however from one of them she was getting a different emotion. Upon feeling it Penelope flew towards Tucker while dodging the attacks everyone launched at her. Penelope then fired an energy disk at Tucker destroying his Specter Deflector, latched onto him and pull him up in the air.
"Put him down you old hag!" Sam hissed only for Penelope to smile.
"You don't want me to do that do you Tucker?" Penelope said causing Tucker to harden his emotions.
"You heard her let him go now you redheaded bitch!" Valerie added causing Penelope to smile.
"That is right. (2) I am that bitch. Remember that." Penelope said before turning her attention to Tucker. "I take it you saw what I gave your best friend, and you want some of it as well." Penelope said striking a nerve with Dani, Valerie, and Sam.
"You really have no shame do you! Well your time has run out!" Sam hissed as she sent her vines towards Penelope only for her to toss Tucker towards the vines.
"Please girl, did you really think I was into your best friend here? I don't do third-rate like him." Penelope said just with the Fenton Thermos in her hand while pissing Tucker off.
"Seriously Spectra what does Danny have that I don't?" Tucker said completely pissed off while completely forgetting the fight.
"Tucker we will talk about that…"
"No Sam I mean seriously! I am a guy who has charm, and good looks too! Yet everyone seems to overlook me for Danny! Paulina, Valerie, you, Hell even Spectra just did it! What does it take for a guy to get noticed by a girl!" Tucker as in a frustrated and jealous tone while Penelope released Ember, and Kitty from the thermos before crushing it.
"It isn't just those four Dipstick. From what Penelope told us even Desiree wants Danny." Ember said stretching her arms.
"What you got to be kidding me, the hottest ghost in the ghost zone wants him too?" Tucker said extremely pissed off.
"Since I am feeling nice today I will answer you question. For starters your best friend his better equipped than you if you know what I mean." Penelope said ignoring the comment about Desiree being the hottest ghost while sticking out her pinky causing Ember and Kitty to laugh.
"Tucker we can talk about that later when we are not in battle!" Sam hissed causing Tucker to get pissed off.
"You know what this isn't even worth it anymore. Let's go home and leave these losers alone." Penelope said causing Ember to grab Kitty and Penelope before disappearing into a whirlwind of flames.
Sam at this point walked up to Tucker and out of anger smashed him upside the head with her vines hoping to knock some sense into him.
"What the hell Tucker? What is your problem? Why are you more concerned about getting a girlfriend and getting laid than our very lives?!" Sam hissed only for Tucker to kick a wall.
"I am sick of getting overlooked! Every single girl I have shown interest in have overlooked me for Danny. You of all people should know this frustration Sam since the same happens to you!" Tucker said pissed.
"You are right Tucker, I know how it feels to be overlooked. But I don't let it turn me into what you are becoming!" Sam explained causing Tucker to laugh.
"Quit kidding yourself. Your jealousy has caused many of Danny's problems including some of his frustration towards being the hero of this town. I had promised not to say nothing but since we aren't friends I will tell you. Danny hated it when you would give him flak for enjoying the female attention he would get. He at times wished you would just shut up and let him enjoy it because it was one of the few things he did enjoy." Tucker explained. "But back on topic I am through playing second fiddle to him! Every girl I seemed to like goes to him like he is god's girl to women. Paulina, interested in Danny, Star, Interested in Danny, Tara, has a crush on Danny, Valerie still likes Danny, Even you Sam which I knew was a lost cause interested in Danny. Hell even someone who I shouldn't have had a slight crush on like Penelope Spectra even she is interested in Danny, and if what they said is true even the biggest man hater and hottest ghost in the ghost zone is interested in Danny!" Tucker said pissed off shocking Valerie and Dani as well as Sam.
"Wait a minute you actually had a crush on me Tucker? That is so creepy and wrong." Sam said shivering striking a nerve with Tucker.
"Yes Sam and the main reason I didn't pursue my crush was because I knew it was pointless since I knew you liked Danny, and if I am willing to bet still like him even though he has treated us like the plaque." Tucker explained in a bitter tone. "I even put my feelings aside to try and help you Sam but no all you did most of the time is just ignore my advice because I wanted to see you happy!" Tucker explained sharing the pain of his heart.
"Maybe if you stopped acting like women are objects and got to know them as people maybe you would get lucky and get a girlfriend." Valerie said dryly causing Tucker to glare at her.
"Done that before and you know what happened? I get rejected each and every time like the plaque. Plus here is another fact you don't Sam. About 50% of the female population in the school actually likes Danny as of late. I don't get what makes him so special but I am sick of it! If you want to wait for that traitor fine but…"
"Don't you dare finish that sentence, and don't you dare walk out on our friendship Tucker! Danny will be back I just know he…"
"Oh shut up Sam! Danny wants nothing to do with you or me! Or did you choose to ignore what he said to you this morning? You actually put your beliefs aside for that asinine boy, groveled and begged him for his forgiveness and what did he do? Pulled out his penis and pissed in your mouth. Do you like him that much that you will let him give you golden showers and possibly Cleavand steamers? But then again if you had to choose between the two of us the friend who has been by your side, or the one who has gone and broke your heart you would choose the heartbreaker." Tucker said in a very bitter tone.
"Tucker listen to yourself, you are acting like Danny was this morning! You are being a complete asshole!" Dani said trying to talk some sense into Tucker.
"Oh shut up you test tube baby who is nothing more than an incomplete copy of an asinine fool!" Tucker said only for Valerie to slug him in the face causing him to glare at her.
"I don't know what has gotten into you, but you call my sister that again, and I will do far worse than just try and punch some sense into you!" Valerie said while Tucker stared down the three angry girls.
"You know what I don't have to take this! If the three of you want to be asinine and let him piss in your backyard fine! While I still believe he is being even more Asinine than the three of you I will take a lesson from him! Sam, Valerie, Dani consider any friendship we one had terminated!" Tucker said as he gathered up his tech including the improvements he made to their gear and left.
Vlad's condo home
A now smiling Vlad masters finished looking at one of the many spy bots he had over the town.
'So you think you can get away with that you did do you Daniel? Well guess what even if it was viva accident I am going to make your life a living hell. All the pawns are doing what they are supposed to be doing, and soon Maddie will be mine along with the entire planet. Plus Jack will be gone for good as well. ' Vlad thought to himself before he transformed into his other form and flew into the ghost zone.
