21: And we are back.
Dan: Finally, I was getting tiered of waiting.
Phantom: You don't get tiered, your fully ghost.
Dan: Then I was getting annoyed. Can we just start?
21: Not yet, we still have to do these side projects.
Phantom: But it would be easier if we got some REVIEWS.
21: Well were not getting as much as I like!
Dan: Sooo... now what?
Phantom: I don't know, think of something.
21: (Sigh) Fuck it...ju-just start the story.
Phantom: Dan, if you would.
Dan: Fine fine, (Look to audience) all this crap is owned by who ever really owns them.
21 & Phantom: God damn it Dan!
Dan: HAHAHAHA!
Phantom May Cry
Ch 5: Guess Who's Back
Valerie's P.O.V
I was fly over Amity doing my regular patrols like always, although it wasn't really necessary. There's hardly been any ghost aside from a couple of animal ghost over the last six months, not even the Box Ghost came to town. But I still did the patrols to keep my skills sharp.
Looking at the time on my digital watch, I saw it was 12:13. I quickly flew to the Nasty Burger to meet up with Jazz, Tucker, and Sam. The four of us have been good friends these last months with, supporting each other and having fun.
Lots of people took Danny's absents differently, the Fenton's still disowned Danny and planed to end his ghost half, as soon as they fix there ghost portal, they hardly left there home, only when they needed supplies. The A-Listers disbanded shortly after the ghost war out of respect for Danny and now actually try to do good in school, that shocked a lot of people. The GIW pulled out of Amity because of the stop in paranormal activity and insufficient funding.
The citizens of Amity even made a statue of Danny in front of city hall, as a show of respect for the hero.
I founded myself just above the Nasty Burger and flew down to the ally to change back. Thanks to Tucker, my suit was fully operational and it even had some improvements.
Walking into the Nasty Burger I saw Jazz, Sam, and Tucker siting at a back booth.
"Hey guys." I call out as I make my way there and sat next to Jazz.
"Hey Val, how was patrol?" Sam asked.
"Same as always." I said with a sigh.
"What are you complaining about, I thought you didn't want the ghost in Amity anymore?" Tucker asked.
"I don't, it's just..."
"Boring." Jazz offered, giving me a slight grin.
"Yeah, but what's really bugging me is Danny." I said getting a surprised look from them. "He should of been hear by know."
Jazz just shrugged. "Clockwork only said he'd be here in six months, he didn't give us a specific date." She said as she put a hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry, will see Danny soon."
I smiled at the red head. We all looked up to her, as a sort of supporter when we feel down and uneasy.
After eating and talking, we decided to head to Sam's place and just relax for the day. As we walked down the street Tucker spoke.
"Umm guys." Tucker said in a worry tone.
"What's up."
"Remember when Clockwork said to be prepared for anything in six months." He said as he took off his backpack and took out his drone while staring down the street.
"Yeah..." I trailed off as I fallowed Tuck's gaze and I stared in disbelief. I saw dozens of ghost portals in the sky, dropping skeleton ghost right into Amity. "Fuuuuck."
Thinking fast I activate my equipment, not caring about witnesses, and start firing at the skeletons. I glance to my side and I see Sam firing two ecto-pistols she kept hidden in her bag. Jazz brought up the Fenton Peeler and activated it, covering herself in a bulky armor, only this one had a DP symbol instead of the flaming F. Tucker used his drone and started firing at the skeleton, controlling it with his PDA.
As we blasted the skeletons, citizens were running passed us, among them was the A-Listers and kids from our school.
"Oh shit!" I heard Dash yell behind us.
Glancing back, I saw more skeletons coming at us from behind. Not as many as the ones in front, but still a lot.
"Get down!" I shouted, swinging my blaster around and started firing as soon as everyone hit the ground.
I shot with precision, taking all the skeletons down easily. Unfortunately my victory was short lived.
"Val, we got a major problem!" Jazz yelled.
Turning back I saw a massive portal open down the street and out walked a giant skeleton behemoth. The skeleton was exactly the same as the one seen at the ghost war, had a club the size of a car, but this one just looked... meaner, bigger even. We all started firing at the monster, occasionally hitting the other skeletons, but the behemoth would not go down. As we fired my gun clicked and stopped firing.
"Shit! I'm empty!" I shouted as I looked as I started to reloaded my gun.
"Me too!" Sam yelled.
When I looked back at the monster I saw it rise it's club in the air.
"Everyone MOVE!" Jazz yelled, but it was too late. The behemoth throw the club and it came right at us at high speeds.
Everything seem to slow down, Sam, Jazz, and Tucker were trying to move out the way, but they were moving too slow. I heard the A-Listers scream behind me surprisingly, thought those guys would of ran away by now. I thought of my dad and how he will move on without me, he already lost mom, losing me might really break him. Then I thought of Danny, how I hurt him, shot at him, fought with him, caused so much trouble for him. If I could see him, I'd say... say.
"I'm sorry." I said as I closed my eyes and waited for the impact.
But instead of getting hit I here a small battle cry and I felt the ground shake. I open my eyes and I was shocked at what I see. In front of us was a small 9 year old girl wearing a white jacket with black sleeves and a DP symbol on the back, she had pure white hair and was wearing a pare of shorts with leggings. But what was really shocking was that her hands were glowing green and there was a green shield in front of us, blocking the club.
Then the shield shattered like glass and the girl staggered a bit.
"Really should of put more energy into it." She groaned.
Just as I was about to question the girl, a person appeared right next to the girl out of nowhere in a black mist.
"Hey your getting better." The figure said. "Last time you couldn't take a hit that strong."
I was shocked when I heard the persons voice. The voice that the four of us haven't heard in six months.
So in response, the four of us, including the A-Listers, said the one thing on everyone's mind.
"DANNY!?"
Daniel's P.O.V-30 minutes earlier.
I just woke up in clockworks realm and I couldn't help but feel a little happy. Today was the day I finally get to see my friends again after six, long, hard, months. The training was hard with my three teachers, but it was well worth it in the end. I would think about it more but that is a memory for another day.
Getting up from the bed, I went to my closet and put my cloths on quickly. When I passed the mirror on my way out, I saw just how much I changed during my training.
I wore a long black leather trench coat with a plain white shirt and a pair of black jeans. On my belt I had my DP symbol as the buckle and I had a pair of white combat boots. On my back, I had Rebellion in it's sheath along with Ebony and Ivory.
When Clockwork gave me the two guns I was a bit reluctant at first, but as my training went on they became apart of me, just like Rebellion.
When I walked out the room I was greeted by Dani in her new look.
"Hey daddy." She said in a happy voice. Not long after I started my training, Clockwork showed Danielle how to combine her human form and her ghost form to always have axes to her powers. The only physical change was that her hair was permanently white now.
"Hey cupcake, ready to go back to Amity?"
She nodded and we walked into Clockworks observer room. He was floating in front of a blue portal with his always neutral expression.
"Are you ready Daniel, Danielle?"
"You already know that answer." I scoffed.
Clockwork just smirked at me. "Always."
"Is everything in order, I don't want all the planning we did to go to waste?" I asked and he just throw a wallet at me. Taking a quick look inside I saw it was exactly what we needed. "Alright, let head to Amity Park."
Just as me and Dani were about to walk into the portal Clockwork just smirked at me.
"Have fun on your first mission." He said mysteriously.
"Wait what!" I yelled back, but it was too late, I was already through the portal and in Amity. "Damn stopwatch." I side. I really hate it when he always gives me half assed messages.
"Umm... daddy, you might want to see this." Dani said behind me.
When I turned to her I saw the very last thing I thought I ever seen. It was a statue of me in the armor I wore when I fought Pariah Dark, only this one had the DP symbol on it's chest. "What the..." I trailed off when I saw a plack at the base of the statue. When I read it I was a bit surprised at what it said.
Daniel Phantom/Fenton
Hero of Amity Park
1994-2010
"Huh," I said as I processed the information. "So everyone in Amity knows I'm Phantom and thinks I'm dead." I said out loud.
"That sucks." She shrugged.
"Hmmm," I looked closely at the plack and saw two major problems. "Hey Dani, give me a hand with something."
She came right over and I told her my little plan, that made her grin. Making her hand green, she went over to the plack and started to change a few thing. When she was done I read the new plack.
Daniel Phantom
Hero of Amity Park
1994- and still kicking ass and taking names
I laughed when I read it. "Can't wait to see how they react to this. And nice hand writing"
"I aim to please." She said giving me a thumbs up.
"Alright, lets see the mayor and get everything in order." I said.
Dani nodded and took my hand, making me invisible and intangible, and we flew to city hall. I admit I do miss my ghost powers a bit, but not to much, I can live without them.
We quickly flew into the mayor's office and saw him working behind his desk. He was a man in his late 30's, he was wearing a suit and had black hair.
"Mayor Butch Hartman." I said as Dani dropped the invisibility.
The mayor jumped in his seat. "W-what the..." He trailed off when he saw me, then his jaw dropped and his eyes bulged. "Danny Phantom!? Your alive!" He shouted in joy. He came from around his desk and shook my hand.
"Nice to be back." I said as I shook his hand back.
"Everyone thought you died during the ghost war, what happen to you?" The mayor asked in a serious voice.
"Training," I said simply. "But theirs something very important I need to discus with you." The mayor nodded and we went back to his desk, there I told him my plan. " And that's my plan." I finished.
The mayor let out a sigh. "I understand, and I can only wish you luck. But before you go I have one favor to ask."
"What is it?"
"Would you give a speech," He asked, surprising both of us. "It would really bring up moral if you did."
I thought about it. "I don't see why-" I was cut off when the door to the mayor's office burst open.
Looking back I see the secretary come into the office, completely out of breath. "we have a problem! There's a massive ghost invasion down town!" She shouted, not even noticing us.
The mayor put on a serious excretion then looked to me. "I need to ask you a favor."
"On it. Just get the town together for the speech." I said as Dani grabbed my arm and flew us out of the office.
As we flew to down town I heard ecto-weaponry in the distant. Not wanting to talk to my 'adopted parents' I directed Dani to a nearby building. Landing on the building, I was surprised to see my friends and sister handle the rough ghost.
"Looks like they've been busy." I said, happy my little plan was coming together.
"Dad, Look!" Dani shouted, pointing down the street.
I fallowed where my daughter pointed and I saw a behemoth at the of the street. It razed it's club high in the air, and throw it right at my friends and sister.
"Dani, save them!" I shouted to my daughter.
She nodded quickly and flew down to them at high speeds, giving a small battle cry. As soon as she touched ground she made a ecto-shield, blocking the club. I let out a sigh in relief. The shield shattered like glass and Dani staggered. Using my new power, I teleported right next to her.
"Hey, your getting better." I said. "Last time you couldn't take a hit that big."
She was breathing have but gave me a thumbs-up and a grin.
"DANNY!?" I heard my named yelled.
I turn around and saw my friends, sister, and surprising the A-Listers, stair at me in shock. I can't really blame them for that.
"Hey guys, how's it going?" I said in a care free tone. They look like they where about to blow, but a loud roar was heard from the behemoth. "Let's hold this conversation for alter, I need to kick some ass." I said as I took out Rebellion and started walking towards the behemoth. "Danielle, handle the skeletons. You guys to." I said looking back at my daughter, friends, and sister. Then look back at the giant ghost.
I here'd ecto-blast behind me, but didn't look back. I only focused on the ghost in front of me.
I ran straight at the mindless the and use my new power to teleport right in front of it. It saw me and raised it's skeletal hand and tried to bring it down on me, but I was to fast, I ran around the behemoth and cut it behind it's legs, bringing it down to its knees.
Using another power, I snapped my fingers and time slowed down to a crawl. I used this opportunity to get in front of the giant and took out Ebony and Ivory. I shot the behemoth at least 20 times before time resumed. The force of the shots were so great, the mindless ghost went flying down the street.
I teleported again and used Rebellion to drive it right into it's chest. It gave one last shriek before dissolving into a puddle of ecto-slime. Letting out a sigh, I looked back and saw there was still a large number of ghost skeleton. Thinking fast I slammed my foot on the ground and activated a little something Pariah gave me.
Five red portal opened around me and out climbed out five black skeletons in Greek armor.
"Alright boys! Take down the remaining ghost!" I shouted to them.
They all gave a battle cry before we charging into battle.
About 20 minuets later there were only piles of ecto-slime.
"Well I'd say that is a mission acco-" I was cut off when my sister and friends tackled me down to the ground.
"Danny! Your back!" Sam said as she hugged my chest.
"Welcome back little bro." Jazz said with tears in her eyes.
"Dude, how the hell did you get so strong?" Tucker said excitedly.
"Great to have you back Danny." Valerie said with tears of her own.
I laughed at there enthusiasm and picked myself, and them, off the floor. "It's good to see you guys." I said as I hugged them.
I was surprise to here the next voice talk. "Holy Crap! Fe-Phantom's alive." Dash exclaimed.
"Oh my god, our Phantom has come back to us!" Paulina shouted in excitement.
I rolled my eyes but still smirked. Some thing's will never change. "Hey guys, there's something important I need to talk to you about." I said to my friends and sister, which they nodded.
"We could go to the Nasty Burger, I'm starving." Tucker said, rubbing his stomach.
"We just came from there." Sam scolded.
"And I worked up an apatite."
I chuckled at Tucker and Sam's bickering. Yes, some thing's never change.
"I could go for a burger." Dani said, walking to my side.
Everyone looked at her a little surprised that they missed her.
"Hey, it's you. The little ghost girl that went to help Danny. What are you doing here?" Valerie asked.
"Let's talk inside. This is a little important."
They nodded and we walked to the poorly named restaurant. Fallowed by the A-Listers, not really surprised on that.
"Why are you fallowing us!?" Sam said completely ticked off.
"It's a free country Goth girl." Star countered with a smug grin.
Sam glared at the blond and was about to start a argument, but I put a hand on her shoulder stopping her.
"I don't really care if they listen or not, as long as you guys hear this from me." I told Sam.
She sigh and nodded. We found a big booth in the back and sate down, with the A-Listers siting by us in a close booth. Dani sate on my lap as she ate her food I ordered for her.
"So Danny, what did you want to talk to us about? And who is this?" Jazz asked, looking at Dani.
Dani looked at Jazz with a smile. "I'm his-" I cut her off by putting a hand over her mouth.
"One bomb at a time cupcake." I told her and she nodded, understanding. They raised a eyebrow at my words but I ignored it. "Look, lets just pull the pin on this bomb and get it over with." They looked a little nerviest, but I continued. I took a deep breath, I let it out and pulled the pin to this grenade. "... I'm leaving Amity Park."
Aaaaaaand. BOOM!
21: And that's a wrap.
Phantom: No, that was a cliffhanger.
Dan: It's about time is what it is. Finley a little violence.
Phantom: Violence is the only thing you care about. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were a masochist.
Dan:...

Phantom:... No way.
21: Oh my god.

Dan: SHUT THE FUCK UP RIGHT NOW YOU SON'S OF BITCHES!
21: It all makes scene now.
Phantom: You liked it when people insulted, blasted, punched, and threaten you. That shit turns you on. That's why you destroyed the world.
21: I can't tell if I should laugh my ass of or puck my guts out.
Dan: CAN WE JUST MOVE THE FUCK ON!
21: Alright, alright, I'm good. Phantom, you?
Phantom: Yeah.
Dan: Good, now when am I going to appear in the story.
21: Oh never.
Dan: What, why!?
21: It would never work out. It's not me, it's you.
Dan: God damn it.
