Chapter 4
(Post D-stabilized, before PP.)
"Weeell," Danny replied, rubbing his neck nervously, "that's a bit more complicated."
He then went on to explain his world, leaving out a few necessary details.
He told Dominic that he was a ghost (it was half true) who had died at 14 and ended up in the Ghost Zone, and managed to return to Earth via a portal.
After that, he found that ghosts who often liked to scare and frighten the human inhabitants, and even try to take over the world infested the town! So, he decided to protect the humans of the town from ghostly attack.
So, since humans can see ghosts unless they are using their power of invisibility, he was eventually exposed to the human population of Amity Park, unfortunately, it was at the hands of Sheriff Walker, a control freak of a lawman.
Walker framed him for kidnapping the mayor, resulting in him being labeled public ghost enemy #1. And if that wasn't bad enough, a $1,000,000 bounty was put on his head by his archenemy, and an enemy who had a way to control ghosts brainwashed him and some other ghosts into stealing for him before they managed to break free and stop the lunatic.
After that, things went on until his archenemy accidentally released Pariah Dark, the tyrant that had once ruled over the Zone as the King of All Ghosts before a group of ancient and powerful ghosts managed to seal him away. Quickly escaping, Plasmius had stolen the king's Ring of Rage, which, when combined with Pariah's Crown of Fire, gave him power unimaginable.
So Pariah, enraged at the theft, sent his general, the Fright Knight, the ghostly personification of fear and the spirit of Halloween, to lead his army of green spectral skeletons to Earth after Plasmius to reclaim the ring, who had hidden it on a human girl who hated ghosts he was manipulating.
When Danny and Plasmius were forced to team up to fight off the skeletons, the Fright Knight, who was frustrated by the lack of progress, trapped the entire town in a green dome, claiming it for his master, and causing the skeletons to stop.
When Danny, who had taked to the ghosts who had tried to flee Pariah in a sort of mass evacuation after he had attacked their homes, and heard the king's story, he realized why the Knight was there and he confronted Plasmius, and during their battle, Pariah transported the town into the Ghost Zone, and the skeletons started to attack again, a pair of married ghost hunters (Jack and Maddie Fenton), who unfortunately believed all ghosts to be inherently pure ectoplasmic evil, put up an anti-ghost shield to protect the town.
Pariah, after arriving on the scene of the battle, took them both out with one blast, and though they managed to get away, Pariah managed to obtain his ring.
After escaping, he managed to sneak inside the Fenton's shield, and witness the unveiling of a battle suit they called the Ecto-Skeleton, which would multiply the wearer's natural abilities by up to 100%. However, the neural link that would allow the wearer to control the suit like it was a part of their body was faulty, causing it to drain them like a battery after extended use, even to the extent of being fatal.
Even so, fully aware of that fact, all the parents in the lab at the time volunteered, and they all started to knock each other out over who would use it.
Sorry for the lack of updates lately, I've been busy. Check out my story Danny Phantom Messages for The Ultimate Guide to Danny Phantom, which when complete, will have all the information any DP fanfiction author (or anyone else, for that matter) could ever need on the show! Also, if you liked Transformers Animated, I am putting up a petition to continue the series with a 4th season, go check it out (NOT a request).
