Chapter Fifteen

Trouble in Ghost town

Danny woke up the next morning to find that Dani was still asleep on his lap. Some of the Gryffindors had come down to the common room and the girls were making fun of Ginny by said what a good father Danny would someday make. "You have no idea." Was Ginny's only responds. Then Harry and Ron burst into the room in nothing but their underwear and dashed straight for the stairs. Suddenly everyone had something new to laugh about.

"What was that about?" Ginny asked still laughing a little.

"Hermione was to smart and guessed some things about Dani. Ron and Harry said some less than nice things about her so I knocked them out and left them stripped in the dungeons." Danny said before waking up Dani. "And you they do it again I won't leave them with their underwear." Ginny looked a little concerned about this. Ron was known for being thick headed but recently Harry was starting to act just as if not more thick headed then Ron. Ginny hoped that it was just the stress from the tournament but something told her that won't it.

Danny on the other hand was not friends with his so called brother or his friends. It wasn't even the weirdness from being complete strangers anymore. No in Danny's mind they were rude, judgmental and nosy people. They have insulted Danny's family to many times, Hermione even called him a murderer to his face without anything but suspicions. And Danny knew that most of those times that they had gone to the library were attempts to research information on him and Clockwork.

"I just want them to mind their own business. Harry can't just jump into my life after twelve years and try to act like an older brother. I have an older sister that tries to understand me. I know how there suppose to act. And telling me that I should just turn my back on Dani because it is not my choice that she excites. It is unforgivable." Danny was a little more than just angry. "I think I am going to add them to the 'A-list' if they don't watch it."

"I hear you man." It was Fred. "Harry has no idea what he is doing. You need to sit him down and tell him straight that you two are not family regardless what blood says. Hopeful that will get him to think before he speaks. If you want Gorge and I will do it for you."

"Thanks Fred but I will do it myself." Danny said before kneeling down to his daughter. "Come on Dani. We will eat breakfast then I will take you home to your Aunt Pandora's."

"Ok. But can we see the giant squid first?" Dani yawned. Dani grabbed the dragon figure and followed her Dad out the common room and to the lake were Myrtle helped them find the giant squid. After a little play with the squid they went to the Great Hall for breakfast.

Danny ate a salad, toast and some tofu bacon. After finding out that animals really did have thought and feeling that could be as advance as any human, Danny realized he couldn't eat meat anymore. He wasn't going all out like Sam was with soy ice cream but Sam still felt like it was a victory for the books.

"Hey Clockwork." Danny turned his head to see Malfoy standing in front of him. "Was it you that left the Golden Boys unconscious and in nothing but their underwear on the Slytherin door step."

"Yes it was." Danny didn't see the point denying it. "Why do you ask?"

"Why did you do it? I thought you were one of the lions." Malfoy said.

Danny sighed and tried to think about what to say. "I don't like the so called 'Golden Trio'. They are a lot worse in my opinion then even you and your body guards. They have been insulting me and my family since I got here and trying to do research on me. Then last night they said some mean thing about Dani so I knocked them out and did what I did. I would have done it to Hermione to but she was smart enough to stop talking and run away."

Malfoy actually started laughing. "Remind me never to say anything about your family. But isn't Harry your real family?" Malfoy was seeing if there was any loyalty to the elder Potter.

"We aren't even friends, family is a two way street. If I don't want to be, then we aren't family. Don't matter what blood or parentage says, I have made my chooses." Danny put an arm around Dani who hugged him back. This pleased Malfoy but he knew that it only meant that Danny could be used against Harry, not to help himself.

"Well you still have Slytherin if you ever feel like coming back." Malfoy said before turning and waking back to his own table.

"What was Malfoy doing here?" Neville asked looking a little nervous.

"He wanted to know if I was the one that did that to Harry and Ron this morning. I think he think it is a sign that I am turning to the dark side." Danny said with a small laugh.

"If you did you could go 'Dani, I am your father'." Dani did her best Dark Vader voice. Causing Danny to laugh at the irony. Neville didn't know any muggle movies other than the ones Danny had on his ecto-powered laptop, and as such didn't get the reference.

"Well I think it is time for you to go home." Danny said, pick up his staff. The staff was suddenly consumed by the lime green light. Danny swung his staff and cut a rift into the Ghost Zone a skill that Clockwork had just recently taught him how to do. Everyone close by jumped away in fright as the Dannys walked into the swirling light. Hermione watched in amazement as the portal to the legendary land of ghost closed behind the black haired children. All the knowledge that was denied to her was on the other side of that portal, but she could never get to it.

"You and your friends need to stop this." Viktor said out of nowhere.

"Stop what?" Hermione asked.

"Stop trying to do research on Danny. He is just a boy and your illogical prying into his history and family is not welcomed." Viktor said.

"But he is hiding so much from us. Like that Dani is real a clone that some mad man made of him trying to get his hands on the 'Spirit Weaving' magic. And that he believe that it make her his daughter." Hermione said expecting a huge reaction out of Viktor.

"So what?" Viktor asked simply. This shocked Hermione. "All that proves is that Danny has a heart of gold. If he doesn't want people to talk or look down on the girl because of her origins then I do not blame him. Look at what you are doing. You are trying to make him out to be this untrustworthy boy when he is nothing but a kind and strong soul. You are afraid of him, but you don't even know why. I thought that you stopped suspecting him of using spirits as fuel for his magic. What new excuse do you have for hating the poor boy?" Viktor said.

"I don't hate him." Hermione said wide eyed. "I just… I just want to know… is that so bad?"

"Hermoninny there are hundreds of old proverbs that say 'let sleeping dogs lie'. There is nothing dangerous about Danny's past that he won't tell us about it. But only if we need to know. All you are doing is hurting him and steering up bad memories. He already classifies you on the same level as the Malfoy boy and says that Harry is no brother of his. What more do you have to do to him before you stop."

"I… I don't know if I can. Trying to find out everything is just who I am. I don't think I can stop." Hermione said starting to tear up. "I really am a monster."

"Hermoninny Danny is a very forgiving person. But in order for him to forgive you, you need to stop. Find something else to take up our time so you can't try to invade his privities or ask the librarian to stop letting you use the books on the subject." Viktor said. "Yes you have a problem, but it is only hard to solve a problem if you are trying to do it alone."

A portal appeared in the middle of the room and Danny came out. "I'm back." Danny said sitting back down in his usual spot. Before he noticed Hermione and quickly looked away.

"Danny, I want to say I am sorry and that I will try not to look into your past anymore and I am sorry for prying into yours and Dani's business. I hope that you can forgive me." Hermione said.

Danny held his breath for a moment before sighing. "Just don't do it again. I don't like people judging me or the people I call my friends or family." He then looked at Hermione. "I guess everyone deserves a second chance, but this is the third I think, so if it happens again then I will just stop believing the apologies."

"I will try not to let that happen. But the years here have made me paranoid and curious. I can't help asking question and looking into thing when I don't get the answer." Hermione tried to explain herself.

"Let's get off of the subject for now. Viktor how has the property changing on the ectoplasm been coming." Danny asked to Viktor who let out a groan.

"I think this 'Spirit Weaving' stuff is like you are trying to land a broom on a unicycle by only using your sense of smell. I have never done anything so hard in my entire life." Viktor said with his head in his hands. Then his looked up. "But don't for a minute think I will give up. I will fly without a broom before the year is up."

"Good attitude. You still have seven more months to get it down." Danny said with a smile.

Viktor then lowered his voice and said. "So Danielle was your daughter, explains why she was so good. You make a good father, even if you are completely insane." Viktor said this last part with a smile.

Danny shot Hermione a glare. "How many people did you tell and was this before or after you decided to mind your own business." Danny said a little angry again.

"I only told Viktor, and then he talked some sense into me." Hermione said blushing.

"Well, as long as it is only Viktor. I can trust him to understand my motives for keeping it secret. I just want Dani to have a good life. It is what she desires after all the horrible things she had to go through just because my blood runs through her vanes. And she can't have that life if everyone treats her as some kind of copy. She is her own person and deserves to be treated as such." Danny said none of his usual smiles and jokes; they saw the fire behind his eyes which had started to glow with the usual lime green light. The grim determination that said he would give his life to see his goal through to the end. The look scared Hermione a little but she tried to put the feeling down.

Viktor on the other hand was amazed at his expression. He had never seen such eyes in the young boy before. Even when Danny fought Skulker or the dragon, Aqua, he never lost the kind expression that made everyone feel like things weren't so bad. To see him determined made Viktor feel like it might be a good idea not to get in his way.

Before Viktor and Hermione could react however a portal opened up in the middle of the Great Hall and what looked like a giant white yeti walked out. "Great One." It said kneeling before Danny. From up close Hermione and Viktor could see the golden ornament that looked like grain a top his had as well as the arm made completely out of ice. You could see the bones inside of the arm through the ice.

"What is it Frostbite? Is there a problem with the infinite map?" Danny had quickly gotten up and walked over to him. Most of the other students we shying away in fear, but Danny didn't care he knew Frostbite was a Ghost with a heart of gold that made even Danny's look like copper. Danny trusted Frostbite with is life. Danny had noticed a wound on Frostbites right side and several cracks in his right arm.

"I almost wish, Great One. Some of Aragon's follower tried to stage a Cue and managed to free him from his prison. Luckily Ore was still sober and managed to drive them out and protect Queen Dora, but he could not recapture them out numbered as he was." Frostbite said before dropping from the pain in his wound.

Danny started to pick him up and flew him to the guest room that his sister and daughter used just two days ago. "I don't understand Frostbite, Aragon is not nearly strong enough to do this to you." It was true, even with his amulet Aragon was only a medium powered greater spirit. Frostbite was a grand spirit and one of the ancients that helped to first seal away Pariahs Dark; there was no way that Frostbite could lose to Aragon.

"Therein lays the problem great one. Aragon in his foolishness needed more power to get revenge on his sister and the one you call Sam. So he unlocked the seal on Leviathan's lake. We don't know if he survived doing it. Leviathan is free and is about to tunnel his way into the human world in the weak spot left where the Fenton portal was. My people as well as Dora's are trying to slow him down but he is too strong for us to stop him without a seal. He will soon break free into Amity Park and destroy everything." Frostbite admitted.

Danny knew there was not a moment to lose. Leviathan was one of the Dark Gods that Remnant had sealed away back when he was in his prime. But that was with a seal made for the job and this time they had no such seal.

"Thank you for the message Frostbite. Don't worry my friend leave the rest to me." Danny said before calling out. "Dobby I need some help." In a crack the house elf appeared.

"What do you need, sir?" the house elf asked with a small bow.

"My friend here is hurt and needs some medicine. I got a special supply underneath my bed in the Slytherin dorm. Can you get it for him? He will know how to use it." Danny instructed.

"Yes sir, I will get right on it." Dobby said with a smile.

"Thank Dobby I am counting on you." Danny said before tearing a new hole into the Ghost Zone.

Danny was thinking as fast as he could. 'He hasn't broken through to Amity Park yet but I don't know if I can stop him before he does. So evacuation the town comes first before he wipes it out.' Danny had been told stories about Leviathan and none of them were good. He was just as strong as Pariahs and the only thing that stopped him from being on the top of the treat list is the fact that he lacked to arms that Pariahs, Fright and Undergrowth had. And that he needed to physically be there in order to destroy the area unlike Vortex that could drop a storm and leave.

Danny transformed and opened up a portal straight to Amity Park News station. 'I hope there is enough time.'

It had been the middle of nightly Weather report because of time difference with Lance Thunder the weatherman when Danny had entered the room in clear vision of the camera. "Mr. Phantom, what a surprise no one has seen you in months, not since the ghost attacks stopped. Can you tell us what happened? Or maybe something about those new clothes of yours." Lance asked since he knew that Danny Phantom was safe to be around and good for ratings.

"I am afraid we don't have time. Maybe after this ordeal is over but for now we need to evacuate the town." Danny said in all serious making Lance's eyes widen. "A ghost hoping to get revenge on a certain human girl that; lost him his kingdom, and locking him in his own dungeon, as well as making the prison uniform pink; unsealed a ghost that is just as powerful as Pariahs Dark who we have no way of resealing and is trying to tunnel into Amity Park as we speak. Sam we really were asking for this after the whole pink thing." Danny said crossing his arms and rolling his eyes. "He will break through into this world any minute and we will need to get everyone out of town."

"But you can stop him right?" Lance said with a wavering voice.

Danny started to rub the back of his neck. "Don't know, I could only beat Pariahs because I had armor that was magnifying my strength a hundred fold. Though I only need twenty fold in order to match him. But I am stronger now but not that much stronger. We also never really beat Pariahs we only resealed him. But we don't have a seal for Leviathan anymore. But I think we still might have a chance." Danny was not making the best impression but then he turned his attention to the camera and started to talk to his friends. "Red Huntress, I need you to head up evacuation but if Leviathan breaks through don't confront him. The entry point is the old FentonWorks where the portal use to be. FriarTuck and Chaos, I need you to gather the specter deflectors. With any luck we can get them on him and then will just have to buy our time until they weaken him. I will not lie this is going to cause a lot of property damage. I hope to do it in thirty minutes but that still mean that a lot of buildings will be level. I have fought someone of this level without a proper seal before using this tactics. But he killed six people before the fight was done. So everyone needs to leave the city." Danny was thinking about the Dark Dan incident. Dan was around as strong as a Dark God, if some specter deflectors and a wail could take down Dan to a point where the thermos would work than maybe there was hope.

"You hear the man. Start evacuation the city." Lance's said a little franticly. Danny phased out of the room and flew straight to Sam's house.

"Good to see you, Danny." Sam said with a sarcastic smile. "I assume the world is in danger… again." She had her arms crossed and rolling her eyes.

"I know but this time it is your fault and not Vlad's. You just had to put him in hot pink didn't you." Danny laughed; the mood in the room was surprisingly light considering the topic was the end of all sentient life.

"Hey he put me in a dress I put him in one. It is just how the world works." Sam said turning her chin to the sky.

Danny could only laugh. "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth leaves the world blind and a monstrous creature on our door step." He then put on a war face. "Do we have the equipment."

"Everything has been tested and was in top working order as of two nights ago." Sam brought out a large chest out of her closet from behind all the untouched dresses. Inside the chest was enough armament to give the American army second thoughts. "We have six functioning specter deflectors, as well as the upgraded Ghost Gauntlets." Sam tossed him the belts and gauntlets that had spicks coming out of the knuckles. Danny didn't like it, it was a weapon designed to hurt but he needed it. Putting his misgivings aside he took the equipment and checked his own Thermos.

"Sammy we need to leave a ghost is coming and that awful Ghost Boy is going to fight him here. We need to get out of…" Sam's mom stopped when she saw Danny standing in the middle of the room. She started to scream.

"Shut up mom, he is just here to pick up his weapons." Sam said kicking the chest. "Talk to you later Phantom, and if you see Aragon tell him I said the dress looked better on him than it did on me."

With that Danny laughed and gave a little salute before flying out through the wall and back towards Fenton works. He sat above the ops center trying to visualize how the fight was going to go. Not having much luck considering he didn't know the size of the ghost or the range or speed of its attacks.

"So you finally come back and this is what it is for. No sorry for lying to you all this time Val. Just jumping straight to 'the world is in danger'." Danny turned his head to see a black suit of armor on a flying surf board. Through the red visor he could see the face of Valerie his old friend and one time date.

"Sorry but I never told anyone that I was Phantom. You didn't exactly tell me that you were the Red Huntress." Danny said with his usual light tone regardless the oncoming battle.

"I didn't have to I guess. How long did you know?" Valeria asked with a shrug.

"The whole time, you didn't mask your voice. And I don't know how the whole town didn't know I was Phantom. I didn't exactly do a very good job hiding it." Danny laughed. "I thought you would figure it out for sure after Danielle. I guess even that wasn't a good enough hint. Or maybe no one would think that the Fenton weakling was just acting like a weakling." Danny turned upside down and crossed his legs. "Sorry about everything with Cujo. But I made sure to house break him so that it wouldn't happen again."

"I over reacted about that. Seriously you lost control of a dog and I started to end your afterlife. I got some counseling from you sister. She says I apparently have anger problems, but that can't be right I am very good at getting angry." They both started laughing at the joke.

"I took Dani in as my own daughter and found her a place to live in the ghost zone where she would be safe. She has been asking if she could see you. Want to visit her after this is over? I got a spare portable portal since I can open my own now." Danny said the last part swinging his staff. "Accio portable portal." Danny turned to Valeria, "I just cast a summoning charm to call the thing her. I will take a few minutes. It is coming from England after all."

"What a minute you can use magic? You have been in England all this time?" Valeria asked a confused look on her face.

"I have been going to a school for wizards for the last month. I am even in an international competition inside of the school." Danny said with a laugh then he realized that his chains were also at the school and summoned those to.

"Danny… I am sorry about everything that happened between us. I would understand if you hated me after everything I did." Valeria was turning away trying to hide her face.

"Not really," Danny scratched his nose like Viktor did. "Val, you were only doing what you thought was right. There is no shame in admitting that you were wrong. Only in continuing after you know that you are wrong."

"Thanks." Valerie's voice was unstable and she started to cry. "Danny after I heard that your parents killed you I… I didn't know what to do. It felt like nothing mattered anymore. Lancer stopped talking in his class, all the A-list kids stopped bullying people, and even the ghosts just hovered around with a blank look in their faces. You don't know how much you meant to everyone." Then she gave a small smile that didn't stop her from crying. "The eulogy that Dash gave at your funeral really was something else. No one knew he could think that deeply." Danny warmed up inside at the thought but stayed silent for Valerie as she continued.

"But then Sam and Tucker pulled me to the side. I hadn't understood how they could be so ok with your death until they told me that you were alive and that there was something you wanted me to see. They showed me the video from the day you died. When you were tied to the table your parents leaning over you…" Valerie paused then said. "Then you vanished, it was too good to be true. Then they told me about how you were you. And I could help but to feel ashamed. I went to your house after you left and found myself holding some spare rope from the basement." Danny's eyes widened with horror at what she was implying. "I had set everything up when your sister came back to the house to pick up some of her stuff. She gave me one hell of a talking too. I don't think I lost the blush on my face for a whole week." Valerie looked up and into Danny's eyes. "I guess what I am trying to say is it is good to have you back."

Danny smiled from his position upside down in the air… and then it hit him. The Portable Portal that is. Danny lost control of his flying and ran into the Fenton works sign. The impact messed up the signs lights and caused some of them to go out. It went from saying FentonWorks to just saying F orks. This started them laughing until Danny got tied up in a flying chain. This tied him up and left him on the ground. Valerie stopped laughing long enough to untie him.

"Your magic seems to work but I don't think it is that good." Valerie laughed before her phone went off. "My dad is calling. I will leave the rest to you. But remember ghost boy if you die I will hunt you down and kill you again." Valerie put her fingers up in the shape of a gun and did the movie style recoil.

"Good to know you haven't changed too much." Danny said back with a laugh of his own. And like that Danny was alone. Danny rapped the chains around his arms and checked his equipment that he was storing on a ruff four houses down before returning to his own home to wait until Six hours had passed since the evacuation was first called.

Danny felt Leviathan before he saw him. A large stream of white mist erupted from Danny's mouth. Danny staggered and struggled to right himself in the air even as the amount of mist grow. Then Danny was shot back as the entirety of Fenton works was blown to pieces as Leviathan made is entrance into the world of the living.

This chapter took 2 hours 22 minutes 41 seconds.

Sorry, I thought I had posted this days ago, but it has just been sitting in my Doc Manager.

I have now rationalized my giant monster fight. So now I can quit knowing that the giant monster fight had meaning.
