Sorry, this was later, ff wasn't working and had to find a way around it. Well I guess technically it's still Saturday, so there you go.

Chapter 6

Once again, Danny pulled up to the small shack on the edge of the Ghost Zone.

"Okay, you know what to do?" he asked them.

"Yeah. While you go in from the front, Tucker and I break in from the back," Sam replied.

"Right. Here's some Fenton Phones and blasters. Okay, you two ready?"

Sam and Tucker nodded their heads in unison. They got out of the Speeder and onto the rock it was on. They all got into their positions, waiting for the word to move. Danny peered into the window. He saw the same fireplace, but he also saw a flicker of green fire.

"Okay guys, he's in there. We move in 3..."

A a bead of sweat christened his brow.

"2..."

Sam and Tucker waited at the back door, anxious for the final number.

"1."

All three burst into the room at that moment. Danny, who was in human form, Sam, and Tucker all phased through the walls (seeing as humans can do that in the Ghost Zone) and turned towards the large creature in the cormer. He was taken by surprise, but soon was in control. He poised himself to attack his intruders. He raised one long, fiery arm towards them.

"Remember Danny, you can't touch him, or get hit by the fire," Sam reminded him.

"Got it. Going Ghost!" The two familiar rings formed, and within seconds he was in his ghost form. The Fire King's eyes widened in recognition. He knew who this was now. He formed the arm into a cannon like device, and fired a regular ecto blast at him. This was easily dodged. Danny came back with a blast of his own. It was a direct hit, and it blew a hole right through him. They all watched in horror as the flickers of ecto fire touched and re-created his midsection. He flew at high speed toward Danny and shot off a series of fiery blasts. Simultaniously with this, Sam and Tucker kept blasting into him with their Fenton weapons. Danny quickly dodged the blasts, but the last one wasn't completely avoided.

"Augh!!!" Danny screamed in pain as one of the flames singed his arm. Danny looked back at the huge form of fire, determination in his eyes. He ran right at him, ecto blast after ecto blast tearing into the his flaming opponent. The Fire King was taken aback by this bold move, but was unharmed. He put his hands into a ball, and slowly ammassed a large ball of flames. Danny took a few steps back as he watched the ball slowly get bigger and bigger. He tried throwing some ecto blasts at it, but it only was absorbed and made it bigger. It kept growing, the flames licking at the arms of it's creator. It was now about four feet in diameter. Sam and Tucker crowded in towards Danny, hoping he knew what to do. Danny formed an ectoplasmic shield around the three of them, and they got as small as they could. Both the shield and the ball of fire grew in intensity. Danny looked into the Fire Kng's eyes, and he saw satisfaction. That confused him. Was he satisfied Danny was protecting himself? It didn't make sense. Suddenly, it burst. Flames flew everywhere, singing everything in the house. Danny struggled to maintain the shield. The flames flew for what felt like an eternity, but was more like forty-five seconds. When it was all over, Danny fell to the floor on his hands and knees in exhaustion. Sam and Tucker fired at will while Danny built his energy back up. He slowly stood up, staggering to an upright position.

"That's it. I'm ending this," Danny proclaimed with a edge of anger. His eyes turned blue as his hands glowed light blue. He raised both of them towards the great fiery beast and shot off a blast of ghostly ice. The light blue blast flew quickly at the opponent. It struck with great strength and competely froze the fire. It's eyes were frozen in shock. Danny smiled in false victory, because seconds after the flames came up through the ice, melting it away within a minute. As surprised as Danny was, what happened next surprised him even more.

"Did you really think that would work?" it asked in a very low, almost hollow voice. All three of them recoiled in surprise at this very surprising development. "Yes, I can talk. Now, are you going to answer my question or not? Did you really think that shooting me with ice would work?"

Danny finally spoke up. "Uh, I was kinda hoping..."

The Fire King gave a deep, creepy laugh. "Well I guess you were wrong, weren't you?" He fired a shot towards Danny, but went too high to hit him.

"At least I have decent aim," Danny replied. He soon realized he wasn't the target as a chandelier fell on him. He struggled with it until he lit his hands up and blasted it away. He formed a shield around himself and jumped right through the Fire King, creating a humongous hole. Of course, it was quickly healed.

"So what was the plan anyway?" Danny asked. "Study me for a while, then do away with me? Find the key and unlock the Sarcophagous of Forever Sleep? Free Pariah Dark, the Ghost King, and rule by his side? Is that what all this is about?" Danny dodged a few blasts, then returned his own.

"What are you talking about?" the fiery form asked as he threw a flaming arc at Danny, only to have it avoided.

"Don't play dumb. I know all about you. You first showed up at the end of the battle that put Pariah Dark away the first time, didn't you?" He dodged another set of blasts.

"Yes, all of that is true," he confirmed as he healed a wound.

"And you were made by Pariah himself, weren't you? Pariah made you using all the power of the Ring of Rage, Crown of Fire, and the Soul Shredder!"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"You're a minion of the Ghost King, on a mission to bring him back!"

"Lies! I am not his warrior, nor his creation. And I don't want to see him come back!"

Danny, Sam, and Tucker stood stunned by the revalation. "You, you aren't? You don't?"

"Of course not. He oppressed every ghost . He ruled with an iron fist. He is a very evil ghost."

"So that takes care of one thing. But one question remains. Why are you obsessed with me?" By now all firing had stopped, and the two floated, face to face. Danny's face intense, the Fire King's unreadable.

"Because, I am your..." he began.

"Don't even try telling me that you're my father, because I know my dad, and you are definitely not him," Danny cut in.

"No, I am your son."
