Hey sorry everyone but I just couldn't get this chapter on the road. It's like my inner writer has taken a vacation without my permission. So please don't be to hard on me for this chapter. I will try to make up for it in the next and last chapter of this story. Though that can also take some time depending on how fast this writer idiot comes back on his tracks and I get enough time to let him play.
So until then thanks for your kind reviews till now and I hope to get more to motivate myself again to get my act together.
Here is the next chapter of Soulmate. Enjoy.

Please Review and please don't hold back. Tell me if something bothered you, I can handle the truth.

It's been a month since Danny had brought Vlad and Claire together and to everyone's surprise she had blown every thought of Maddie from his mind. He was head over in love. They spend day after day together. Shortly after they had met she had left the NASA and joined VladCo as a new business manager. It was a joyful month. Claire took Danielle in as her own and loved her.
While the two worked Danny and Ember watched over the little one and cared for her however they could. Eventually Maddie, Jack and Jazz joined them from time to time.
Danny and Ember had also stepped up their relationship. Just two weeks ago Danny had proposed to his girl and she accepted. A small silver ring with small embedded with 3 ruby's on each other left hand signified their bond.
Sam and Tucker were unaware of their new step but even so they supported the two lovers.
Also another thing happened to Phantom. His visions became more frequent and clearer. He could see and hear the nearer future more clearer and the headaches vanished completely. Though during the last week a bad feeling had took it's place in his stomach and wouldn't leave him alone. Nothing he did could rid him of this feeling. Something would happen soon. Something dark was coming.

Somewhere in the depths of the ghost zone an ancient evil began to stir.
"He was risen once again.", the evil being said to himself.
"I shall destroy him once again for you my lord. I will destroy everyone that could become a threat to you.", the being vowed to his sleeping lord before he left his master's realm.
The ghost jumped onto his dark horse and rode away to the human realm.
'I will defeat you once and for all. For the honor of my master.', he thought.
–
We see our hero walk down the street on his way to meet with his fiancée.
"So how is it going with Claire?", Danny asked through his headset.
"It's wonderful my boy. I'm so happy with her. I can't thank you enough.", Vlad whistled from the other end.
"I knew you two would fit together perfectly.", Danny smiled.
What he didn't know was that his day would go down the drain in a few minutes. Further behind him where the A-Listers. Paulina was still seething with anger over what Danny had said and done to her in the past. Dash actually feared his former punching bag. After their last clash he never tried anything with him or his friends again even if Paulina was trying to get the jocks to do her dirty work.
Also watching from the sky was a dark ghost. Waiting for the right moment to strike. Then he saw his opportunity and he took it. With a kick to his horse they shot forward. With an incredible speed he pulled out three glowing green knifes and threw them at the unsuspecting teen.
Danny's danger sense kicked in but it was to late. The three knifes hit him with such a huge momentum that it ripped him of his feet and through the next brick wall. The A-Listers stared in shock at the scene. Even Paulina freaked a bit. She wanted to embarrass him not killing him.
"Come out! I challenge you to a duel for life and death!", the unidentified ghost bellowed.
Everyone on the street was frozen in shock. There above the street floated a medieval ghost in a black armor and purple flames around his head riding on a winged horse.
"Oh god I think he killed Fenton.", Kwan whispered to Dash.
Just as Dash wanted to answer a shuffling noise was heard. Out of the smoking hole emerged a hand and gripped the edge. Right after it came Danny's head with his hair covering his face. But between his bangs shown cold deadly eyes. His right eye glowed ice blue but his left glowed golden. He looked outright evil.
"You should have stayed in the Ghost Zone, Fright Knight. Now I will kill you!", Danny growled and in a flash of light, not a ring, he transformed in his ghost form.
He wore black loose pants with many pockets, a black muscle shirt, black combat boots with white soles and a white coat over it with a black DP on his back. In his hand he held a silver long 6 ft fighting staff with a black 1,5 ft long blade on the top. But the most potent feature of him where his now golden, previous neon green eyes.
All the people were in shock. This usually calm and till recently inconspicuous teen was the towns ghost hero. The A-Listers stared at him with dinner plate big eyes while Paulina fainted.
With his free hand he ripped out one of the throwing knifes from his shoulder and stared at it.
"Throwing knifes? You have sunken deep Fright. These are weapons for pro's not stubborn bricks like you to use.", Danny whistled as he removed the other two knifes without a flinch.

At FentonWorks a certain flame haired beauty got a bad feeling about her man. She felt a cold shiver run down her spine.
'What's this feeling? Did something happen to Danny?', she feared and flew out of the house.
–
The two ghosts stared at each other. Danny's now golden eyes burned with the thirst for revenge. He wanted to make his previous murderer suffer.
"You know Fright you should have stayed in your damn pumpkin with your master.", Danny snarled.
"You dare to insult me boy?", Fright Knight snarled back.
"Oh yes I dare you. You murdered me back then and now I will wipe the floor with your face.", the teen growled and disappeared.
He reappeared behind the old ghost and hit him with the butt of his staff. Fright Knight flew of his horse. It made a run for it because it feared the power of the teen ghost.
"You traitor come back here.", Fright snarled as he stopped in mid flight.
"She won't listen to you anymore Fright. She is too afraid of me.", Danny smiled.
The knight charged at the boy enraged only for him to dodge and hit him on the back of his helmet. The old ghost double over and turned to his enemy again. With a strong thrust the boy rammed his blade through the armored ghosts shoulder. A loud shriek escaped the old ghost.
"You dare! You will pay!", he exclaimed and drew his sword.
Danny withdrew his blade and made a back flip to evade the powerful sword.
"Oho... you already take out the big guns. Are you really that afraid of me?", The boy taunted.
"SHUT UP!", the knight yelled and charged again.
Danny flew backwards still taunting the knight with poses. He showed him the bird, sticking out his tongue and such stuff. That enraged the ghost even more and his attacks became even wilder. Finally he landed a hit on the boy and smiled.
"Now I got you boy!", he snarled but his smile vanished as the boy didn't vanish.
"WHAT? WHY? WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE? YOU SHOULD FACE YOUR WORST FEAR BY NOW!", he screamed.
"I already faced my worst fear thanks to you a long time ago.", he stated in a dry tone.
"You made the love of my life suffer and that was the worst thing that could happen to me. And now you are going to PAY!", he explained and yelled the last part.
With that his staff changed into a gigantic scythe. The staff turned a slight S form with many separate parts. It looked like a 15 ft long spine with a 12 ft long blade with a thick saw blade on the backside and a skull where the staff and the blade connected.
Danny slashed forward and cut through the armor like thin paper and ectoplasm sputtered from the new wound. Fright Knight howled in pain and backpedaled from the heavy armed boy only to be hit again by the blade even if he was out of reach.
"W... Wh... What... How?", he stuttered.
"Simple.", Danny shrugged and began to rotate the weapon with his hand at the end of the staff.
Due to the momentum to blade gained the staff began to prolong. The space between each vertebra grew and showed nothing. It looked like the vertebra's were connected by nothing but gravity. At the end the staff reached 36 ft as Danny rotated it over his head. With a quick slash forward the blade cut through the other ghost again.
"You should have stayed in your pumpkin weeping for your master. Now I will kill you.", the ghost teen snarled.
The knight saw his end getting closer but he found a way to survive the boy's onslaught in the brink of his sight. He lunged forward and grabbed the ghost that had just arrived at the fight. Danny froze in his step as he saw the hostage. His core ran cold. There before him his girl was being held hostage by the clearly cornered ghost.
"You bastard! LET HER GO!", the teen snarled.
"Kill yourself and she can life!", the knight snarled hoping that the teen would do everything to save his girlfriend.
"Danny don't do it. Kill him! We can be together in a later life. I know we will meet again.", Ember pleaded with teary eyes.
Danny's hair fell in his face and covered his eyes. The temperature dropped to a drastic level everything in a mile radius began to freeze over. Everyone began to shiver at the sudden cold. The air around the boy began to fluctuate as his ghostly presence grew out. It became so strong that instead of a slight glow to his form it began to burn like a huge flame around him. But instead of his usual white glow it turned blood red. Time seemed to slow down around him. Space seemed to distort as Danny's muscle's began to move under his clothes and they began to grow. His already good build frame became a bit bulkier but nothing to big.
"You dare to threaten her? You dare to promise pain to her? YOU SHALL BURN!", he bellowed.
Time turned into pudding for everyone but Danny. He dashed forward and passed the two at a speed unseen by anyone. A nanosecond later he stood behind the knight wife his soon to be wife in his left arm and a ectoplasm covered scythe in the right. A scream of pain hollered through the area and time resumed it's normal pace. The Fright Knight's right arm fell to the ground, cut away at the shoulder and dissolved.
"Your time is over Fright Knight. You have gone to far this time. You will burn in the flames of the purgatory and if it will be the last thing I will do!", Danny snarled without turning around at the old ghost who tried to stop the bleeding.
"D... Danny?", Ember whispered a bit afraid of her man.
She had only seen him like that once before and that was when Clockwork had send him back in time to deal with an event during the second world war. She had watched the massacre together with the time master. It was brutal. She had thought that she had lost him back then but luckily he returned to her as his usual self. But now she wasn't so sure anymore. It was different. Someone had threatened her and that was the worst thing one could do. It was the biggest sin someone could commit around him. She was his soulmate, his other half.
"Don't worry I'm still me. I'm just continue the act to get him to back off.", he whispered.
"You better be. I wouldn't want my child's father to turn into a monster.", she hissed.
Danny stared at her for a second in total shock but recovered by putting the thought away for later so he could deal with the medieval ghost .He then turned to the whimpering ghost with a dark look.
"What do you have to say for yourself before I end you.", the boy stated in a dark tone.
"Yo... You... you have... you have proven... proven yourself... you are... are worthy of... of the title...", he stuttered trying to control his voice over the pain.
"I never wanted that title and I told you that the last time. I have another way heavier burden to carry.", Danny groaned tired of that topic.
"What are you talking about Danny?", Ember asked feeling a bit left out.
"Fright Knight here is afraid that I will claim the title of the ghost king. That's why he killed me the last time, in order to save his master's position.", Danny explained never leaving the old ghost out of his sight.
He had learned from his past mistakes after all. With the swing of his scythe he cut open a rift to the ghost zone.
"Return the Ghost Zone and tend to your wounds. But never bother me again.", he pointed to the portal and the old ghost.
The knight obeyed and left through the portal but before he left he said his last thought for the boy.
"You really are worthy of any title you may hold boy. And I'm sorry for everything I did.", with that he passed through the portal and it closed.
Silence befell the two as they descended to the ground.
"So you are pregnant?", he suddenly asked.
"Yes. Yes I am.", she answered with a big smile.
At that the hero's eyes rolled upwards and he fainted right on the spot. His weapon dissolved into thin silver mist as he lost consciousness. Everyone who had heard the two before he fainted laughed at his expense and reaction, already over the shock of his revealed secret identity.
'Guys.', Ember sighed grabbed him and teleported them to his room.
