Disclaimers: I do not own Danny Phantom

Author's Notes: Sorry again for the long silence guys. But it was necessary, the good news is I'm taking the rest of the summer off from school so hopefully I will actually have time to write, and updates will happen more frequently. With that said thanks for reading, and please review.

(Present Day)

[Back with Dani…]

All she had to do was get him talking and buy everyone some time, still Dani couldn't help but feel nervous as she drew closer to the ghost king. This would be the first time she defended the town on her own and honestly she didn't know if she was ready.

Still she had to try!

"Aw see I told you the place is infested with half breeds." Pariah Dark spoke as she drew closer.

"Yes Sire." The Phantom Knight answered respectfully, but it was obvious that while he was loyal to the king that he didn't really care that half breeds existed. "That's close enough filth." He warned as Dani came within earshot.

Dani stopped as the Phantom Knight drew his sword defensively. "Leave this place now!" She demanded.

"You have no right addressing his majesty in such away." The Phantom Knight growled reading to strike.

"His majesty has no domain here!" Dani snapped, and though she addressed the king properly it was obvious that she did not see him as her king at all. "This is the world of the living!" She tried to look as if she was in control of the situation, but she was freaking out on the inside. Danny always made this look so easy. She on the other hand had to work at it, too often Dani had allowed her emotions to guide her in battle.

Apparently the Phantom Knight had the same problem because he readied his sword for a deadly blow. "How dare you-"

"No she's right." Pariah Dark said shocking them both. "This is not my domain." He agreed.

The Phantom Knight put his sword away as the king continued to speak. He knew he was coming off as too loyal, but he had no choice, it was the only way to trick the king into thinking he was not a threat. He looked to Danielle and a since of pride surged through him. She had grown so much since the last time he saw her.

He knew this wasn't really true, that he had saw her just this morning, but that morning already felt like a century away.

"You'll have to forgive my new Knight." The king went on. "He is eager to prove his worth." He reasoned. "I do not wish to cause the humans any trouble." He said. "It is you I wish to address."

"Me?" Dani asked.

"Your kind sickens me." Pariah Dark snapped. "I will eliminate you, and the offspring of the Ghost boy and then be done with this world." He told her.

"No I won't let you!" Dani screamed preparing for a fight.

"Fight if you must." Pariah Dark said. "But if you truly cared for this world then you would do it a favor and die."

His words cut deep, they were meant to, however Dani did not dwell on it, she had to do whatever she could to stop this. Sure she would gladly sacrifice her life for this town, but Lilith and DJ were just kids, they deserved to live. She had to protect them, which shouldn't be too hard, all she had to do was stall them until the shield was up and running again then the twins would be safe.

"Dani we'll hurry we promise." Tucker said, her communicator was still on, so he heard everything that was just said.

They all had.

"Just keep them busy." Valerie said. "We're making our way to the backup shields now." She fired off her blaster as she spoke. Several ghost had flooded through thanks to the failed tower on the west side. She knew they should have checked the shields more often for malfunctions, then maybe this wouldn't have happened. However, she couldn't dwell on that now she had work to do.

They all did.

"Dani hang in there." Sam shouted her blaster at the ready. "Jazz and I are on the way!"

"Just stall them!" Jazz added. She and Sam had met up shortly after Sam had left the twins at home. And were now heading towards the west side to help Tucker and Valerie but were quickly changing direction as she spoke. "Sorry Tucker you guys are on your own."

"Copy that!" Tucker said with a smile to Valerie.

"Looks like it's just the two of us." Valerie said.

"So much for date night hu?" Tucker joked.

"You are kidding?" Valerie laughed. "This is the best date we've had in weeks."

Tucker laughed as he aimed his blaster at another ghost. "Man they just keep coming!"

"We're almost there!" Valerie said more to the Comm link then Tucker. "Just hold them off a little longer."

"Got it!" Dani said as her fist began to glow green as she readied herself for battle.

"Knight, get rid of this filth." Pariah Dark ordered.

The Phantom Knight snickered, and something about that small laugh sounds familiar to Dani, but she can't place where she's heard it.

"Gladly." He mused, and with that he made his first blow…

(Back with Abby)

She knew it had been stupid to leave the house before they even tried, but she couldn't just sit and do nothing. Abby Foley took the lead as the three kids raced down the chaotic streets, most of the town residents were retreating to the underground bunkers. Each bunker was equipped with their own ghost shield and had been created for instances like this. With the ghost shield around the town down for the moment these bunkers were the last safe place besides the Fenton home.

And they had every right to flee, several ghost had gotten threw from the west side and DJ and Lilith were both doing their best to fight them off. The twins had very minimal powers though, nothing but an ecto-blast and flying to call their own, and even those weren't always so reliable. Luckily Abby had her own weaponry for the fight, scratch that these were her mom's weapons from the old gear she had received from Vlad Masters, Abby had even learn how to reprogram the suit to fit someone of her age rather than her mom's.

Valerie of course got her new suit built by Maddie, which carried the logo DP, like the rest of the group. She had told Danny that she didn't feel right wearing it now that they were on the same team. Abby on the other hand had no problem with wearing the suit and Valerie was constantly hiding it from her daughter. Of course she tried to destroy the suit, but soon learned the task was impossible. So she resulted to hiding it, however her hiding spots were never good enough. Abby always ended up finding it, and it was a good thing she did because like always the three little troublemakers had bit off more than they could chew.

"They're everywhere!" Lilith screamed as DJ blasted at an oncoming horde of ghost, most of them flew past them, but one noticed the children as the threat they were.

"I am the box ghost beware." The box ghost shouted throwing several boxes their way.

"At least this one's easy." Abby said and began to aim at the ghost.

"Easy?" The box ghost shouted, obviously insulted. "How dare you call me easy, let's see how you handle my storm of fragile packages!"

Said packages began to whorl around them like a hurricane of boxes, sadly Abby was right, the box ghost was so easy that three little kids could handle him with relative ease.

Lilith fired an ecto-blast from his front, as DJ did the same from behind, giving Abby enough time to pull out her Fenton Thermos and suck the pathetic ghost right up.

"One down." Abby whispered as they stopped to catch their breath.

DJ allowed himself to fall on his butt in exhaustion "We're almost their right?" He asked hopefully. Man he was really starting to regret not listening to Aunt Dani during their training lessons, but then again Aunt Dani wasn't the best teacher. Not that it was her fault, no it was simply hard to teach when she was still learning herself.

Lilith couldn't agree more, "We have to keep moving, Abby's parents will need all the help they can get."

The west side tower isn't far from here." Abby assured them. "Well go, hang back out of sight, and cover them if they need it."

The twins nodded, Abby beginning a year older than them was naturally in charge of the group.

"Okay let's go!" DJ said as he managed to get to his feet again, the girls nodded and just like that the three troublemakers were off on their quest once more.

Minutes later Jack Fenton brings up the rear breathing heavily. "Boy those sprouts are fast." He said, heaving slightly. "Jack you've really let yourself go this time." He whispered to himself, patting his fat belly. He was starting to regret the fact that he had doughnuts for breakfast again this morning. "Damon my man how's it coming."

"Oh it's getting there." Damon Gray said with a grunt as he hauled yet another weapon off of the shelf and blasted it at the vault door. "I'm almost out." This was true sure the vault door was thick, but a few blast from the ecto-laser cannons had begun to weaken the area were the handle should be on the other side. If he could cut threw it, the door should open; he just needed a little more fire power. "Find the kids."

"Right behind them." Jack assured him. "They're headed towards Tucker and Valerie."

"Darn kids, should have known they'd pull something like this." Damon said as he made two final shots. He smiled as he finally broke the thick door causing the handle on the outside to clatter to the floor. Damon pushed hard on the heavy door and it slid open just far enough for him to squeeze threw. "I'm on my way, don't lose those kids!"

"Got it!" Jack answered confidently and continued racing after them without any knowledge that danger was far closer then he could ever imagen.

(Back with Vlad…)

He knew he could not afford to get on the king's bad side so early in the game. Still Vlad knew that there were no half ghost here. He looked around the wretched town before him with utter discuss as the skeleton army terrorized the locals. Vlad could care less about this town, so much so that he didn't even bother to learn the name. Why bother? The fight was not here, it was with Daniel.

So without giving it much thought Vlad deserted his post over the skeleton army and headed back towards his prey. After all there was only one place in the world with half breeds, and that place was Amity Park.

"I hope you're ready for me Daniel" He mused "because only one of us is leaving this battle alive."
