Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom because Butch Hartman does. (In case you were wondering who did)
Last time left off with Vlad in a pretty bad situation with no way out and it seems his fate is sealed. Just read and find out what happens now in the second chapter of King of the Ghost Zone.
Fright Knight raised his sword and brought it down to cut Plasmius' chest with a diagonal slash to send him to face his worse fears. Plasmius just looked him right in the eyes the entire time.
Looking someone in the eye actually served as a good thing this time. At the last possible second Vlad shot a beam at Fright Knight's eyes causing him to be temporarily blinded and clutch his face. He dropped his sword and it fell in front of Vlad almost still cutting him had he not move his head back.
"It would be in your best interest to let go of me now." Said Vlad as he charged his body with electricity. The ghosts holding him yelped in pain and let him go to stop the current of electricity flowing to them. The newly freed Plasmius then sent out a shockwave of energy effectively blasting his captors back and giving him some space. "Told you to let me go. Didn't listen and paid the price."
"Plasmius!" yelled an infuriated Fright Knight who had mounted Nightmare.
"Now the horse is back." Said Vlad as he sent a few blasts at the horses legs making it stumble and fall over. "I'd rather not have a repeat of last time."
"I do not need my mount to kill you Plasmius!" yelled Fright Knight as he pushed Nightmare off of him and rushed towards Plasmius with Soul Shredder ready.
Plasmius was in the process of making a second sword when he was struck in the back by at least a dozen ecto blasts. He fell to the ground on his hands and knees. He quickly got to a kneeling position and turned around to retaliate with an energy wave directed towards those who attacked him. Fright Knight brought his sword down towards Plasmius who made a ghost field and sent it towards Fright Knights legs knocking him over and then sent the shield along with the knight into a group of ghosts to his left.
"Spread out and attack him from a distance!" yelled Skulker as he fired rockets along with ecto blasts.
Vlad made a cube of reflecting shields around himself and sent the blasts back to their senders with a littler added strength. Many got hit by their blasts and cursed Vlad while others dodged them remaining unscathed. I can only stall them but can't beat them with how I am now. They just won't stay… Vlads thoughts were interrupted by his cube shocking him and becoming smaller, crushing him.
"Beware Plasmius! For you have crossed into my domain! The domain of the Box Ghost!"
"You can't be serious." Said Fright Knight.
This was the same things every other ghost was either saying or thinking. They had continued to fire at Vlad to keep him in the box while the Box Ghost was attacking him. This had led to them dodging their own blasts while occasionally getting hit by them when they felt shock after realizing that Plasmius was at the mercy of the Box Ghosts of all people.
"The ghost regarded as the weakest is taking down Plasmius." Said Skulker as he just looked on in amazement along with the others.
Vlad felt the little air he needed being squeezed out of his lungs and the pain in his side returned as he felt a new pain from the other side. This can't continue or I'll be crushed to death for sure. Vlad thought as he started to gasp for air and poured all his power into his arms and legs to keep the box from completely crushing him.
"It is I the Box Ghost who shall defeat the powerful Plasmius who could not be brought down by the combined power of all of you." He motioned towards the crowd and started to pour more power into compressing the cube.
Small pink cubes then started to appear inside the cube and Plasmius thought nothing of them until they started to attach themselves to his arms and legs. The cubes started to electrocute Plasmius who kept his arms and legs under control through shear will power alone.
"This is unreal." Said Plasmius as the current from the small boxes grew stronger. "I refuse to be defeated by the likes of the Box Ghost!"
"Give up in defeat now and your end shall be quick."
With this statement and with a renewed spirit Plasmius poured even more of his power into his limbs but still couldn't move the cube outwards but prevented it from moving inwards anymore. He refused to be at the mercy of them any longer and felt his resolve boost his strength in a way he couldn't understand but wasn't complaining.
"Fool you cannot even start to hope to fight against me when it comes to boxes!"
"He didn't need to beat you." Said a voice from behind the Box Ghost.
The Box Ghost turned around to be met by a punch to the gut and a jumping uppercut that knocked him out.
"Finally!" yelled Plasmius as he enlarged his shields and sent them flying towards the ghost surrounding him.
"I can't believe I had to save you from the Box Ghost though." Said the newcomer while holding back her laughter. "You're the one that always tells me not to underestimate my opponent."
"That can all be explained later Danielle."
The newcomer was none other than Danielle "Dani" Phantom.
"Looks like their getting up." Said Dani as she dropped into a fighting stance. "Why did you try to fight so many alone?"
"Didn't want to wake you from your nap."
"I woke up anyway when they flashed the emergency alert on all the channels. It took me watching the news to figure out that this was all happening and then imagine my shock when I see you getting your butt kicked by Fright Knight."
"Very funny Danielle." Said Plasmius as he and Dani went back to back to face the large number of ghosts charging towards them.
Dani started the attack by sending waves of energy from her hands and feet while Vlad fired a few ghost rays along with it.
"On your left!" shouted Dani.
Plasmius grabbed a snake ghost and threw it at an approaching Fright Knight. Fright Knight simply cut the unfortunate ghost in half. Not a moment of hesitation.
"Danielle don't even try to fight Fright Knight!" yelled Vlad. "Leave him to me!"
"Don't think it's a good idea. He already beat you once." Said Dani as she blasted a wolf ghost away.
"he's beyond your level right now. I can at least hold my own." Said Vlad as he tossed a second wolf ghost in the air for Dani to shoot down like the other.
These wolfs are no doubt courtesy of Skulker. He was pulled from his thoughts by said ghost charging at him and Dani.
"You take care of him."
"Alright some fun. Time to dance Fire Hair."
"I am Skulker the Ghost Zone's greatest hunter." He yelled as he fired blasts at Dani.
"The hunter who can't even catch my cousin!" she sent her own blasts at Skulker and nailed his right arm. "When was the last time you even caught a ghost anyway!"
Skulker dived at Dani only to have her leap over him and sent a blast at his back sending him crashing into the ground.
"Flawless victory!" yelled Dani as she stood victorious on Skulker's back.
He back flipped off of him and landed on a charging Ember's head knocking her to the ground as well and sending a blast into her back for good measure.
"Stay down pop star." She said as she leaped off her back.
She was hit in mid-air by a blast and fell to the ground clutching her left shoulder.
"Whoever just shot that is going to really pay!" yelled an infuriated Dani.
Meanwhile Vlad had been fighting Fright Knight again but now he was able to hold him off after fighting him for so long.
"I see you have gotten a second wind Plasmius."
"I learn from my mistakes. Like not taking out that stupid horse the first time. Or this." With that Plasmius grabbed Fright Knights raised arm and sent a powerful shock to him. "I was wondering if your armor would conduct electricity. It seems that by your screams of pain it does."
With that he increased the power even more and after a few more moments threw him to the ground still twitching from the shock.
"I wonder what your nightmare would be." Vlad said as he walked over and picked up Soul Shredder. "I remember when you loaned it to me before and taught me how to use the Nightmare ability. A mistake on your part I would say."
He slashed Fright Knights eyes and heard him scream in pain before he disappeared to the pocket dimension taking Soul Shredder with him.
"I should have got the horse first." Said vlad as he flew over to help Dani. He stopped in his tracks though when he saw he sitting on a pile of unconscious ghosts. "Your work I presume."
"Yeah. I got a little angry and lost it."
"Get down!"
He tackled Dani off the pile just in time for 2 green nets to miss them.
"It seems the ghost hunters have decided to join the fight again." Said Vlad with a smile.
"You mean Danny's parents or Valerie."
"Get back here you ectoplasmic scum!"
"Well since that sounded like Maddie I would say the Fentons."
"We can take em." Dani said as she stood up and prepare to launch herself through the pile.
"Go one then and gain the wrath of young Daniel."
"I suppose I won't then. Speaking of Danny. Where is he? I mean he usually wouldn't miss all of this."
"He's been in a meeting with Clockwork and the Observants since last night. I do not envy him right now."
"Yeah I had to sit through one once too. It was worse than melting."
"Well I suppose we need him anyway to fix all the damage the ghost caused."
With that he grabbed Dani and teleported them both into the Ghost Zone and to be more specific the Observants' meeting room. The meeting room was circular with several layers for people to sit at along with a raised floor with a podium at the center and lower part of the room. The sudden interruption of course angered most of them while Danny and Clockwork welcomed the disturbance an each smiled at the newcomers.
"Explain this intrusion imm…" started an Observant before a blast hit in front of him.
"Shut up already." Said Danny as he stood up.
"You little…" started another before the same thing happened to him except that the blast hit him.
"I'll make myself clear this time. All of you shut up!" said Danny as walked into the center of the room. "Now I believe our guest here need something so all of you can get out." Said Danny.
"But the meeting…"
"The meeting is over. Now I order you all to leave the room." Said Danny as he made his fist glow.
He got his wanted reaction with all the Observants leaving the room leaving only Danny, Vlad, Dani, and Clockwork.
"It feels much better with them gone and the silence is also welcomed." Said Clockwork.
"I agree with you a hundred percent." Said Danny as he stretched a little since he had been sitting for so long.
"I suppose I do owe an explanation for our visit since it interrupted you." Said Vlad. He quickly launched into a explanation of everything that happened making sure not to leave anything out of it.
"Well lets go fix the town. Clockwork can you tell them I'll have another meeting Saturday around noon." Said Danny.
"I can do that. Be careful out there all of you." Said Clockwork as he teleported back to his tower.
"Will do." Said Danny as black rings appeared at his waist.
"He's finally going to show off the new form now!" Said Dani with excitement obvious in her voice.
Danny's original Phantom costume was now replaced by his King Phantom costume. (It consisted of his armor from the episode Beauty Marked along with 2 black gauntlets on his arms up to his elbow, the Ring of Rage on the left one's index finger, the Crown of Fire on his head, a second shoulder pad, and cape that was black with silver on the inside. He also had on black knight like boots that came up to about his knees.)
"The power you have in that form is unreal." Said Vlad. "No matter how many times I see you in it, it still amazes me."
"The Reality Gauntlet does give extra affect." Said Dani as he marveled at her 'cousin'.
"Yeah it does." Said Danny as he opened a portal to Amity Park.
He walked through it and was quickly followed by the other 2.
"Wow you 2 really did a number on the town." Said Danny as he looked around.
"It was mostly Vlad. I just got here towards the end." Said Dani as she pointed an accusing fingr at Vlad.
"I tried to protect it actually. It was all of those ghosts." Said Vlad.
"Where are the ghosts anyway?" asked Danny as he continued to look around.
"We left them over there in a pile." Said Dani as she pointed towards a medium sized crater.
"I can't even sense a single ghost there." Said Danny.
"So they all escaped." Said Vlad. "Sugar cookies."
"You really need to drop that habit." Said Danny as he suppressed a laugh.
"Just fit the town already Daniel." Said Vlad a little annoyed.
Danny quickly pressed the gems in the sequence to activate the gauntlet and snapped his fingers. To the shock of all the people that remained around they saw the town start to repair itself in seconds when they hadn't even begun to start to shift through the rubble. Everything was like it was before the attack and many thought even better.
"Hey Phantom! When you get that power? And what's with the new costume?" yelled a Dash Baxter.
"Yeah! When did you get that power?"
"Marry me ghost boy!" Guess who that is.
Danny then quickly shot up in the air and was quickly followed by the other 2 halfas.
"That's why I didn't want to show them tis form." Said Danny as he looked down and saw news crews already filming.
"You could always just blats them away." Said Vlad with a smile.
"That would only give them more of a reason to let my parent's and Valerie attack me." Said Danny. "No matter how bad I do want to do that though."
"Just forget about all of them. Don't tell me the almighty and powerful King Phantom can't take a little attention." Said Danny as she playfully punched Danny on the arm.
"I'm fine." Said Danny as he grabbed Dani and ruffled her hair.
"I'll take my leave then. Danielle I take it you will be staying at Daniel's house tonight." Said Vlad.
"Yeah." Said Dani as she finally got away from Danny.
"Good. I need to go and heal my ribs. Take care both of you." Said Vlad as he turned invisible and flew away.
"I'll race you to your house." Said Dani as she took off.
"You took a head start and at least turn invisible." Said Danny as he turned invisible to follow her. "But first I should visit Sam and Tucker."
He quickly teleported in front of Dani and then to his room at the house.
"No fair. I said a race." Said Dani as she stomped her foot.
"You never said I couldn't teleport. Besides it's a tie this way." Said Danny.
"I can't even use that yet and neither one of you will teach me it." Said Dani still a little mad.
"I'll teach you it as soon as you're ready." Said Danny as he patetd her own the shoulder.
I'm ready to learn it now. I'm already strong enough. Thought Dani with a frown still on her face.
"No you're not." Said Danny with a smile.
"What?! Can you read minds now too?" screamed a shocked Dani.
"No. It's just all over your face." Said Danny as his smile grew wider.
He changed back to Phantom and then to Fenton while Dani did the same.
"I'm about to go meet Sam, Tucker, and Valerie for a movie. You want to come?" said Danny as he was walking into the bathroom to take a shower.
"Yeah."
"Your stuff is still in the guest room." Said Danny.
Let's say about half an hour later…
The 2 halfas were on their way to meet the others ouside the Movie Theater but decided that walking would take too long so they turned invisible and flew there after transforming in an alley. They landed in a similar alley and transformed back to walk towards Danny's friends who ran at them with questions.
"What was with that new costume dude?" courtesy of Tucker.
"Did you get rid of the old one?" asked Sam with a slight hint of sadness.
"Nice to see you Danielle." Said Valerie as she hugged her. (yes Valerie knows who each halfa is after she figured out about Dani and Vlad. Kinda prevented her from going a little crazy.)
"I'll explain that later, no I can still change into that, and can we go see the movie now." Said Danny.
With that the group walked into the movie theater to see Michael Bay Explosions.
AN: I hoped you liked the story so far and feel free to leave a review, like the story, and tell me what you liked and what I can do better. I'm always open to helpful critique. The actions going to go down in the next chapter by the way. It's going to sort some things out that I think need to be cleared up but didn't really fit this chapter. Until next time.
