Chapter 5: Predictable Victory

[Dimsdale street 11:56 (with 30 seconds)]

They had exactly three and a half minute until midnight. That wasn't good.

So far, all they had accomplished was not to get slashed by the sword. They had taken more hits than their foe, and every second the Fright Knight seemed to get stronger... also, Timmy couldn't help but notice, Wanda had eventually lost whatever semblance of intelligence and was no longer useful int their fight.

It also seemed that the power of the knight had reached to all the people in Dimsdale (including those not dressed) and managed to turn them into different kind of mutants or monsters or zombies.

He didn't have time to dwell on it though. As soon as Vicky was out of the picture, the Fright Knight turned his eyes on them, and the Phantom guy had gone back to the one or one fighting from before.

Timmy felt a bit scared, but he was a brave kid. A valiant 10 years old feared by a whole race of aliens (for his ability to eat chocolate and hug teddy bears). A ten years old that managed to almost mess the universe on a daily basis but ended up cleaning his messes at the end of the day... heck he had even messed up so bad Jorgen had ended up adding more rules on the 'Da Rules' Book.

This time Timmy was also sure he would be the cause of other rule making it there.

He could do this. Timmy was sure... he was just not exactly sure what to do other than wait on his feet until the other guy asked him for the pumpkin.

"Well, sorry if I give you the cold shoulder." Timmy heard from above as the Fright Knight's shoulder began to literally freeze. Despite himself, Timmy rolled his eyes: that was a bad pun if he ever heard any. This white haired ghost surely sucked on the pun department.

Up from that point it was an epic fight in fast-forwards. A black sword slashed air where a second ago a neck had been; a blue beam was fired from a gauntlet-wearing hand and froze an innocent tree; a mock insult sounded half drowned as steel hit metal; a horse neighed from somewhere and tried to dove his horseshoe into a mop of white hair... it landed into the white hair and the owner of said mope of hair flew downwards utterly destroying a school bus.

"Say your prayers, ghost boy!" The Fright Knight was a foot away from Danny.

"Not if I can help it!" Timmy declared heroically and teleported right between Phantom and the sword.

The Ghost of Halloween noticed a second too late the pumpkin's presence, but there was no way he could stop the momentum of his stab. The steel buried into the orange vegetable and Timmy smiled.

"NO!" The Fright Knight yelled and tried to pull out, but his efforts went unrewarded. An spiral of purplish-white light began twirling from outwards and the residual ectoplasmic all over the place were sucked into the vacuum effect the pumpkin was creating.

"NoooOO!" Fright Knight tried to put some distance, to get away from where he was. Many of his doing reversed before he was inevitably sealed again: the people from Dimsdale went back to being mere humans, as Wanda went back to being her normal fairy self; the little ghosts that had been lured into the place vanished in a puff of green smoke; somewhere in the back of a trunk a couch spit a ten year's old blond with brackets and the bald African American hiding inside of a broom to run save himself from a haunted broom was no longer in imminent danger..

Needless to say, Timmy's house was no longer awesome, award-winning or spooky, like it had become when he summoned the Ghost of Halloween. Regardless, he was happy.

"We did it!" Timmy cheered.

"That we did," Phantom agreed, then frowned and mumbled something Timmy couldn't entirely decipher (even with his enhanced hearing), but he did caught the words 'Unfair', 'teleportation', and 'at least it wasn't duplication'.

When the Fright Knight was finally sucked out of the way (literally) the people he had made disappear started popping all over the place... That included certain pink-eyed babysitter with a black heart.

"Vicky you are back!" Timmy cheered before pausing. "That's a good thing, right?" He turned to ask to he new battle partner who simply shrugged. He didn't know Vicky, after all.

Surprisingly, Vicky looked at Timmy with horror for a fleeting moment, then scowled, looking for all the world like she was about to murder him. A hand went half way towards Timmy, but then a small cough made her the evil nanny that they had company... company that was not a kid and might get her in trouble.

"Hehe, well I..." Her words died in her throat. Right in front of her was a boy, a handsome boy, with lean muscles, dressed in a skin tight costume. He looked so foreign and hot and... "Hi," she battled her eyes coquettishly, drooling the tiniest bit, "I'm Vicky."

Danny smiled back, "Danny Phantom," he offered with a small smile. So cute.

"He, hehehehe. Well, I was just... going to hug this twerp and tell him how I think he is such a great child." She hugged Timmy with an arm. "A moment," she demanded before sunshine-ing away from where Danny was in a way worthy of a Konoha Ninja.

"Spit it, Twerp, who is the hotty?"

"Huh?" Timmy blankly replied, having no idea what she was talking about. She couldn't mean Danny, right (and how weird is that he only learn the name of the guy after Vicky asked him?).

"Don't play dumb, Turner! He looks too cool to be hanging with a twerp like you...Where did you meet him?!" She was shaking on his shirt at this point.

"Umm... Internet?"

A few feet away Danny snorted. The kid was a real bad liar. He should probably save him, get him away from the snappy ginger, then ask him how he actually ended up dragging him all the way from Amity Park to Dimsdale (wherever in the country that was) and ask him to send him home, which, if Danny's theory of the guy having a power that was more or less than Wulf's -in the sense that could open portals, though he didn't remind seeing a portal before getting spirited away- then he could be home soon enough.

"We met on an internet forum," Danny played along with a lie. "A forum about very mainly stuff you wouldn't be interested in."

Ok, Danny was also a bad liar, sue him.

The girl battled her eyes at him but before she could say anything else, the world around them froze in time in a way Danny had only ever seen Clockwork do.

It shocked the halfa that, instead of seeing the blue-skinned Ghost of Time, a bulky military man with tiny wings on his back pooffed into existence. The weirdest thing about him was the huge girly star-tipped wand thingy in his hand.

"Timmy Turner, you have let a mortal know about your Fairy Godparents. According to The Rules, you are to loose your godparents, effect immediately."

"WHAT!?"

"WHAT!? You have fairy godparents!" Danny blurted incredulously to Timmy, then to the two little fairies that suddenly appeared at the hand of the huge military fairy.

"You didn't know?" Jorgen asked incredulously.

"Well, I didn't," Danny trailed, "Not until you just told me about it. I was actually going to ask him how he got me here... wait, how can you have fairy godparents if you are a ghost?" Danny asked bewildered and the kid looked bashful.

A silent conversation seemed to pass between the kid and his godparents, and then the fairies moved tiny versions of the wand the big fairy had, and the green skinned Timmy Turner went back to being his normal human self.

"That explains a lot," Danny nodded. It only hit him now that a ghost shouldn't be able to participate in a human haunted house contest, nor have a human teenager snap at him randomly if he was a ghost... It still made Danny wonder, though: how come that girl recognized the kid? Nobody seemed to recognize Danny Phantom as Danny Fenton despite only being a hair color and eye color away from each other, yet this kid with his brand-new green skin was unmasked in a second.

Maybe the people of Dimsdale were really smart?

Or maybe Amity Park people were simply dense.

"So, Jorgen, it looks like you just broke the rules," the green-haired fairy that seemingly came out of nowhere after defeating Fright Knight smiled. "But then again, maybe you did it on purpose since this teen is now a hero to both the human world and the fairy world."

If Danny had known Cosmo before that point, he would have understood the shocked expressions of the three that were fixated on the usually dumb fairy. But, since Danny didn't know the fairy (it having only arrived seconds before), he was confused as to why they would looked like the one offering a reasonable, sensible excuse out of what he figured was some sort of mess -the rule breaking comment, the horror on everyone's (but Jorgen's face) and the 'you are to loose your godparents, effect immediately' were pretty big clues.

"Right!" Jorgen agreed hastily. "That was exactly what I meant! You, Danny Phantom are, from this point onward, allowed to know everything about the Fairy World. Tell anyone about it and I will wring your neck!" And with that merry tone Jorgen pooffed away.

Danny stared at the point the fairy used to be and shrugged. He had seen weirder.

He still was curious, though. "So... Timmy, Mind telling me what all this was about?"

"Sure, but first; I wish we were home..."

And so they left home in yet another poof.

[Timmy's room, time-skip: five minutes]

"...And that's what happened."

Danny stared at the kid for a moment. The tale of bad parents, fairies, evil baby sitters and a magical world at the other side of the rainbow would be impossible to believe to most people. Danny simply thought it made about as much sense about him being half-death.

Still, he would keep the whole thing a secret. He didn't want to think how his parents would act if they heard wind of it and Jazz, Sam and Tucker deserved to keep whatever piece of sanity they had left.

"Right. So the world is a lot weirder today that it was yesterday... can I go home now? I got homework to do."

"Sure," Timmy conceded a tad deflated to part with his newer friend -at least he considered him a friend. "I wish for Danny to go back home." And so Danny Phantom was sent back to Fentonwork in the spot.

Timmy simply got up the bed and dived face-first. He hadn't even notice that he was awake way beyond the usual hour (the one he could never get pass and caused him to wish for no sleep for him and then the world.).

The moment his face touched the pillow Timmy Turner was dead to the world.

To Be Continued...

*Bonus*

[Worst Nightmare's Realm, Vicky, 11:55pm (before the Fright Knight was defeated)]

"How weird, I would have sworn that a moment before it was night... oh well... Twerp?" Vicky looked down to see Timmy. But not just Timmy, AJ, Chester, the creepy guy with the acne plimp on his face and a couple others she remembered seeing around at some point were all standing in front of her with bright smiled.

"Vicky, we love you, Vicky!" Timmy declared and hugged her leg, then another kid hugged her other.

"Kids, are hugging me... ugh!" Vicky looked positively gray for a moment. Then the whole thing went to a new height of creepy as more and more kids began appearing out of nowhere and chanting her name and more 'we love you's.

"Stay away from me you monsters!" She yelled and sprinted into the fake street, more and more kids popping at each turn.

Being loved by kids... That was Vicky's worst fear.

*Bonus end*

AN: Fear not. We are not over yet. It's just that this was getting too long, and this was as good any point to cut it. See you on the next one!
