Danny flew home. He took a deep breath and allowed himself a smile. He had finally beaten Dan and Walker was going to make sure that Dan would never be a threat again. Danny phased through the front door and landed on the ground. He changed back to his human form and walked into the living room. Sam, Jazz and Lilith were waiting for him. They smiled as he walked in and sat down beside Lilith and Sam. The chairs from the kitchen were still in the living room. "So, what did the ghosts say?" Sam prompted softly. Danny shook his head. "Not much. I just wanted to thank them for helping out. That and I had a word with Walker. Walker has taken Dan in to custody and will sentence him according to his crimes," Danny answered.
Jazz nodded and started when her phone jingled, telling her she had a text. She took her phone out and saw it was her son. Sam had called Jack and Maddie as soon as they got home, which was shortly before Danny returned. They had carried Vlad's body into the ghost assault vehicle. They didn't know what to do with his body but they could hardly leave a dead body in the park. Jazz smiled and replied. "What was that about Jazz?" Danny inquired. "Oh, it was just Timmy asking if everything was sorted out," Jazz answered and then texted her husband that it was safe to return home. Danny turned to Lilith. "I'm sorry Lilith, but before I can explain a few things you need to know about being a halfa, I need to call Stan and check in on how he's doing. Is that alright?" Danny retorted to Lilith. Lilith was surprised as she wasn't sure that Danny had heard her in the park. She smiled and nodded. She understood, it had been a long and busy day.
Danny left the room and called Stan. He explained that Dan was being dealt with by the ghost equivalent of the police and that Vlad was dead. Stan informed Danny that Lance Thunder had been looking for Danny to get the scoop on the story. Stan informed Danny that no one had been hurt at the school and all the children had gotten back home safely. Danny informed Stan that there was currently a ghost shield up around Casper High. Stan let Danny know that the chief had given them the next day off. Danny promised to meet up and explain everything that had happened the next day and they finished the call. It was a short call.
Danny then returned to the living room and there was a knock on the door. Sam answered it and invited Jack, Maddie and the teens inside. They all filed into the living room and sat down. They waited for the full story. However Danny was tired and wasn't in the mood for explaining everything. Andrew frowned and noticed the missing members of their group. "Hey, where's Dani, Tucker and Valerie?" he asked boldly. "Valerie was injured during the fight and Tucker took her home. Don't worry Kalie and Frankie, it's just a broken ankle. Nothing serious. And Dani… well she had to go away for a little while," Sam answered. As if on que, there was another knock on the door and Sam invited in Tucker. Tucker saw that Danny really wasn't in the mood to explain everything and muttered to his friend that he'd take his girls home and explain everything. Danny smiled his thanks and Tucker, Kalie and Frankie left. Jazz assured him that she would do the same with Timmy and went home. Sam then invited to explain everything to Carly, Abby, Andrew and Jack and Maddie at Fenton works and then take the kids home.
Soon it was only Danny and Lilith left in the living room. Danny turned to Lilith and smiled at her. "So, how did you learn that you had ghost powers?" he asked conversationally. Lilith grinned excitedly and told Danny what happened and Danny nodded. He was furious that Dan had hurt his daughter but he knew that things would be easier for Lilith now, at least relatively speaking.
He then started to show Lilith some of his most basic powers and explained how he learned to control them. Lilith tried to copy but could only really use her intangibility. So as training, father and daughter returned the chairs in the living room to the kitchen by phasing through the wall. Danny decided to show Lilith how he changed from Danny Fenton into Danny Phantom and she tried to copy. White rings travelled over her body and she changed. It took her by surprise and she yelped in fear. She felt so different. She felt lighter and colder. Her body glowed softly with an ethereal light like Danny Phantom and most other ghosts. She rushed through the house and ran into the bathroom to have a look at herself. Her hair was still down and long except it was now white with a single black stripe. She wore a suit similar to Danny Phantom's. However it was different too. The sleeves only reached just past her elbow and she didn't wear any gloves. She had a thicker sliver belt across her middle and her boots were more like her mother's old combat boots than Danny's Phantom's boots. Her amethyst eyes had changed into a dark glowing green colour. Darker than her father's but they were still kind and caring. She stared at her new appearance and turned to see her father watching her, filled with pride. She smiled broadly at him and he held out his hand. She took it eagerly and Danny flew out of the house with his daughter and taught her how to fly like a ghost.
Sam looked up on her way home to see Danny and Lilith flying through the air above her. She couldn't help but smile at them. There was another Phantom in Amity Park. She couldn't help but think that the ghosts of the Ghost Zone were going to get a nasty shock when they next attacked. The Box Ghost was probably going to become Lilith's best training tool. The world would learn about Vlad and Dan tomorrow. The funeral would take place during the next few days. Lilith would be swarmed by the school kids once word got out but tonight was for Danny and Lilith alone. Sam watched her daughter take her first tentative flight with her father on his nightly patrol in the sunset.
So that's that. My second fanfic. Let me know what you thought of it. This will probably remain a stand-alone story.
I want to thank anyone that took the time to read the entire story. And of course thank you to everyone who took the time to review my story. It really means a lot for me to see people reading and enjoying this.
I will be writing more fanfics in the future, not sure just how many yet. I have an idea for two involving Danny Phantom but you'll have to wait and see if they make it to the page. (I often have lots of ideas for stories but don't write them because I lose interest).
Well, until the next chapter… or rather the next fanfic…
