Phantom raced down to the main hall where Skulker, his greatest hunter waited very patiently for his soon-to-be King to come to him. Phantomeentered the room and briskly walked over to the hunter. " Skulker, Fright tells me that you have important news that concerns our number one prisoner. Is this true? "
The hunter bowed his head before his soon-to-be King and straightened himself before speaking, " I'm afraid so your highness, Plasmius had escaped from Walkers prison as of this morning in the early hours." Skulker explained to Phantom and the royal ghost teen cursed under his breath. Of all the times that crazed fruitloop of a ghost escapes he chooses now to be his time, when Phantom has a fience to care for and a wedding to plan. Plasmius never did have good timing.
But wait, what if he comes here?
What if he finds Danny?
What if-
No.
Phantom will refuse to stand around and just let that oversized vampire come in here uninvited and ruin all of his plans for his future with Dannyand all the new plans for his Kingdom. He must stop Plasmius at all costs before he gets here.
Even if it kills him.
" Skulker, I want you to make it your personal mission to find Plasmius and end him. That's an order." Phantom ordered to the hunter and Skulker bowed his head and nodded in agreement with the soon-to-be King before leaving to get ready for his new hunt.
Phantom left to go back to where he left Danny, only to remember that he got the Fright Knight take him back to his room while delt with Skulker. He sighed heavily as he walked down the hall to Dannys room. He knocked on the door and heard a soft 'come in '. He entered the room to see Danny sitting on his bed with his face in his hands looking pretty down. Phantom frowned and wondered what was wrong with him. " Hello." He said.
"Hey." Danny said not looking up.
" You okay?"
Danny sat up straight and thinned his lips, " I'm fine, so what were you needed for?"
Phantom sighed, " I suppose I can tell you since we will be married soon." He paused and sighed again. " It's Plasmius, he's broken out of Walkers prison. "
Danny gave Phantom a look and asked "Who's Plasmius? "
" He is a man who wants the thrown but can't have it because he wasn't next in line, I was, which made him hate me with every fiber of his being. So he tried everything he could to get me to step down, flattery, bribery, favors, and when none of those worked on ke because I knew what he was up to, he tried to end my existence which is why he was in prison. " Phantom explained to Danny who's eyes went wide with each bit of information that was told to him.
"Do you think he'll come here?" Danny asked feeling a little worried about his own safety.
Phantom nodded, " More then likely, but it will take at least a day or two for him to get here so we have time to get ready for his attack. Which means you'll have to be ready Danny. "
" Ready? Ready for what?" Danny asked feeling slightly confused but not liking where this is going.
" To fight."
"Fight !" Danny exclaimed not believing his ears, Phantom couldn't be serious.
" Of course! We are at war now with Plasmius, Danny he is a ruthless, cunning, and blood hungry demon, he won't stop until me and all my subjects are beyond dead. We are going to fight and you will be helping." Phantom said as he pulled out a sword from the closest in Dannys room and handed it to him. "And I'm going to show you how. " Phantom said as he started to walk away from Danny and head to his own room.
Danny on the other hand felt his eyes bug out of his head and grabbed Phantoms hand to stop him from leaving, "What? Are you nuts? I can't fight! " Danny protested, Phantom turned to him and gave him a look before speaking.
" Okay, first off no, I am not nuts as you put it and two you can and will fight whether you like it or not." Phantom shot back in a level serious tone of voice.
The human teen narrowed his eyes slightly and scoffed, " I seem to be doing a lot of things I have no say in lately dude."
Phantoms expression turened dark and he glared at Danny, the human gulped and tensed a little. He hopped he didn't do something that would change Phantoms mind and kill him instead. " Danny, this is a huge inconvenience on your half I agree, and Plasmius is one on mine, but you fighting has nothing to do with protecting me; that's Frights jobplus I can take care of myself. It has to do with being able to protect yourself. " Phantom explained and Danny just blinked at him before letting his arm.
" Really?"
" Yes really, I can't be there to protect you all the time and I need to know that you can hold your own. That is why tomorrow we are going to have fight training, with and without weapons. And if there's time we can practice for the ball but I doubt that will happen. We may need to postpone until this Plasmius business is taken care of. " Phantom mused to both himself and Danny. He then smiled at Danny, which lightened up his expression a tone and made Danny feel better. " So I'd head to bed early if I were you, we start training bright and early. Good night Danny." Phantom said before taking Dannys hand in his and giving it a light kiss.
" Good night, Phantom. " Danny said as he watched the soon-to-be King stand up straight and turn to leave. When he was sure Phantom wasn't looking he wipped his hand off on his pants. He flopped down on his bed and stared at the ceiling for who knows how long. But how could he? Today was just a roller coaster or he should say the past couple days have been. First he is getting married to a Demon of another world where he is to help rule over Phantoms people as their Prince and now he has to help with a very possible war between some crazy old guy that tried to and will possibly try again to kill the guy he's going to marry.
Oh yeah, Dannys life is just great right now.
