PLAYING WITH FIRE AND ICE
Somewhere in the Ghost Zone on a floating island that had a volcano continuously letting off smoke, a female ghost with pale white skin, fiery red hair that was tied in a tight bun and fiery red eyes wearing a red Asian style long sleeved tunic that went to her knees and brown boots was practicing her tai chi when she suddenly felt something.
She opened her eyes and smiled as she said, "I feel two ghosts are starting to gain their fire powers. Interesting. I have a feeling that I shall meet them soon"
It was a cold Monday morning in Amity Park, Jack came inside after getting the morning paper and was rubbing his arms as he sat down at the kitchen table. He then said, "Hey Maddie I'd wear a coat today, it's really cold out there"
"Huh? That's weird" Maddie said in confusion as she placed a plate of pancakes in front of him. "The weatherman said yesterday on the news that the weather would be a warm and sunny today"
"His readings must've been wrong, unless it's that weather ghost again" Jack suggested.
"No it would've been on the news and Danny and Dayla would be already out there fighting Vortex already" Maddie said.
Speaking of Danny and Dayla they both had just come down and sat down on the table for breakfast. Jack then said with a smile, "Morning kids. I'd wear jumpers today if I were you two, it's really cold out there"
"Really? I thought it was really warm" Danny said. "I'm not even wearing my jacket today"
"Same here" Dayla said. "I'm feeling really warm as well"
Maddie looked at them both in concern and then walked over to them, she first felt Danny's forehead and then checked Dayla's. She both found that they were both feeling very warm but showed no signs that they were maybe sick.
"You both are feeling warm. Neither of you are feeling sick are you?" Maddie asked.
They both shook their heads and answered, "No"
"Okay well your father and I had to leave this morning to go and get some parts in order to upgrade the Fenton Thermos so on our way we'll drop you both off at school" Maddie said.
They both nodded and continued to eat their breakfast. Once they were finished they were all in the RV and heading for Casper High, Maddie continued to look at Danny and Dayla in concern and asked, "Are you both sure you're not cold?"
"Yeah" They both answered.
"Honestly mum we're both feeling fine" Dayla said.
They arrived at Casper High where Sam, Tucker, Valerie and Andrew were waiting out the front, they hopped out of the vehicle and were about to head inside the school building when suddenly the clouds turned grey and snowflakes started falling down from the sky.
"Snow? At this time of year?" Tucker said in confusion.
"Uh I know the weather is cold today but this is ridiculous" Sam said.
The snow started falling down faster and then wind started blowing, Jack and Maddie stepped out of the car. Dayla then said, "Something doesn't feel right here"
Andrew then noticed small amounts of steam coming off Danny and Dayla's body and said, "Uh guys you're both steaming"
Danny and Dayla looked down at themselves and saw the small amounts of steam coming off their bodies as well. They both then said, "This is weird"
The wind started blowing harder and then Valerie shouted as the ground and Amity Park was starting to become covered in snow, "What is going on here?!"
A large amount of snow then started forming together into a shape in the air, there was a bright flash of light and then floating before them was a pale blue skinned ghost with white pupiless eyes and his hair was pure white, he wore a dark blue suit with a faint snowflake signature in the middle, his boots were light blue that looked like they had icicles at the front of the shoes, he had a see-through cloak flowing behind him and his hands were covered with short light blue gloves.
"Greetings Amity Park" The ghost announced. "I am Blizzard, ruler of all things ice and snow! I have come to your world to make this pitiful little city into my own home where everything shall remain in my eternal winter forever! If you all don't want to be frozen like statues, I suggest you all bow to me!"
"Not if we have anything to say about it!" Danny shouted.
"Guys you help our parents get everyone inside the school and Tucker call Johnathan and tell him to start getting all the citizens inside their homes or anywhere that's a shelter" Dayla said.
"We're going ghost!" They both then shouted and changed into their ghost forms as Sam, Tucker, Andrew, Valerie, Jack and Maddie all left to do their jobs.
Blizzard smirked in amusement and said as he lit his hands with blue energy, "Ah Danny and Dayla Phantom. Heroes of Amity Park, they say you're both powerful opponents but are you both powerful enough to take on me?"
"Only one way to find out" Dayla said as they both flew up and charged at him with hands lit with ecto energy.
Blizzard simply smirked and then suddenly in a gush of snow, disappeared before their very eyes. Danny and Dayla both stopped completely confused and started looking in all directions for their opponent, suddenly Blizzard appeared behind them and blasted them both in the back with a powerful ice blast that froze them completely solid.
They started falling from the sky and was about to hit the ground but suddenly their eyes glowed a fiery orange for a moment and then ice completely melted and they burst back into action. Meanwhile Jack, Maddie, Sam, Andrew and Valerie had just finished getting everyone inside the school and Tucker had just finished talking to Johnathan in putting Amity Park in a state of emergency as the weather got colder and the snow storm became worst.
Jack and Maddie then ran over to the RV and started handing Sam, Andrew and Tucker some ghost blasters and stood ready to help Danny and Dayla if they need it. Danny started flying around Blizzard keeping him distracted while Dayla turned invisible and snuck behind Blizzard.
Blizzard growled in annoyance and then Danny smirked as he stopped circling him and then without warning Dayla blasted Blizzard in the back with her own burst of ice powers and sent him straight into the snow covered ground, Danny and Dayla landed on the ground and waited for a second but he made no move to attack them.
Danny and Dayla high fived each other and were about to capture Blizzard with the thermos but then Andrew asked, "Uh if you guys have defeated him, then shouldn't the snow storm stop?"
That stopped Danny and Dayla in their tracks and then suddenly they heard a spine chilling laugh in the air, they all turned to see that the body of Blizzard was now just a large pile of snow.
"What the heck?!" All of them shouted in shock.
Blizzard then appeared before them and froze Danny and Dayla in a thick case of ice and said, "Foolish children! I can see you both have very strong ice cores but unfortunately you cannot defeat a ghost with ice powers as well, especially since I am more powerful than the two of you combined!"
"Release them right now! Danny! Dayla! Can you hear me?!" Sam screamed as she and Andrew tried to break the ice.
Suddenly Danny and Dayla's bodies started glowing the same fiery orange that appeared in their eyes when they broke out of the ice, steam started appearing off the ice and then suddenly the ice broke into a million pieces they all looked in shock as flames appeared in Danny and Dayla's hands and their eyes and bodies continued to glow in the fiery orange colour.
Suddenly they both blasted a fire blast straight at Blizzard, his eyes widened and he dodged out of the way in time. Danny and Dayla looked down at themselves as they both asked themselves, "What the heck?! What's going on?"
"You both look like you're on fire" Tucker said.
They both suddenly felt weary and came close to collapsing, but Jack and Maddie managed to catch them both before they could fall and helped them stand back up.
"I think we may have…a new ghost power" Dayla said wearily.
"But I thought you two had ice cores? Why are you both suddenly producing heat?" Maddie asked.
"I don't know but I don't….think we're gonna last long…in this fight" Danny answered wearily. "We better hurry….and start wrapping this up before we collapse"
"Just don't push yourselves guys" Sam said in concern. "If this is a new ghost power, it's certainly taking a lot out of the both of you"
They both took off and charged straight for Blizzard, Dayla duplicated three times and then each of them grabbed Blizzards arms and legs and held him still in the air. She then called out, "Now Danny time for the finishing move!"
Danny nodded and charged straight at them, he charged both his hands with ecto energy and then added more power to them, Dayla then released Blizzard and before he could do anything, Danny slammed both his fists right into his stomach sending him flying straight into a tree. Dayla then sent multiple ecto rays from her hands and her feet, hitting Blizzard dead on and causing smoke through the air.
Danny and Dayla landed on the ground and panted heavily, feeling tired from the fight but just when they thought it was all over, the smoke cleared to reveal Blizzard was no longer there. Suddenly Blizzard and a duplicate that he made of himself appeared behind them and before they could react, they summoned two snowballs with ecto energy inside and slammed them right into their chests intangibly.
"DANNY! DAYLA!" Jack, Maddie, Sam, Tucker, Valerie and Andrew screamed and ran over to them.
Blizzard laughed and said, "Frostbite had taught you both well, but he didn't teach you everything. I shall be back in 48 hours and then this place you call Amity Park will be forever mine."
Blizzard then disappeared in the storm laughing evilly into the air, Danny and Dayla's skin started turning blue and they both collapsed to the ground unconscious and shivering hard, icicles formed in their hair and on their cheeks.
"What's happening to them?" Andrew asked.
None of them answered but then Sam gasped as she remembered where she had saw what Blizzard had done before. She then said, "I think I know, when Danny and Dayla defeated Undergrowth when we first met him, they did that same move. I think it's messing with their ice cores and since they're worn out, they can't activate whatever new flame power they might have to keep themselves warm"
"What do we do? What do we do?" Tucker kept asking in a panic.
"Tucker calm down!" Valerie shouted. "Panicking isn't going to help Danny and Dayla right now"
Andrew then said, "When they first got their ice powers, Dayla told me that after the fight that when Frostbite helped them, he healed them in a de-icing chamber. It might help them again"
"Okay here's what we're gonna do" Sam said. "Tucker, you and Valerie stay here and keep everyone in the town safe in case Blizzard gets any ideas and make sure they keep warm and stay indoors, Mr and Mrs Fenton along with Andrew and I are going to take Danny and Dayla to Frostbite and hopefully get help"
Tucker and Valerie nodded and then left to do their jobs, Andrew and Sam helped Jack and Maddie get Danny and Dayla inside the RV, Jack got in the driver's seat and for once no-body complained about his crazy driving as he drove down the road and stopped at Fenton Works.
They all then got Danny and Dayla inside the house and headed straight down for the lab, they all climbed into the Spectre Speeder and Jack took the wheel and then drove into the Ghost Zone and started heading for the Far Frozen. Maddie pushed the hair out of Danny and Dayla's faces and then she and Sam covered them both in thick blankets hoping to give them some warmth.
Sam kissed Danny on the lips and then gave Dayla a hug as she said, "You'll both pull through this, and I know you will"
Andrew kept holding Dayla's hand as Jack drove, he then kissed Dayla on the forehead. Maddie smiled sadly at them and said, "Don't worry, everything is going to be alright. From all the adventures you guys have had, you have all pulled through and we will again and defeat this Blizzard"
"We'll be arriving at the Far Frozen in a few moments" Jack said as he drove.
At Frostbite's village, he was talking to the same female ghost from the volcano island. He then asked, "Are absolutely sure that it's them you sensed to have fire powers?"
She smiled and answered, "Absolutely. Have I ever been wrong when it comes to sensing ghosts who possess fire abilities?"
Frostbite smiled back and said, "No you have not. It's just hard to believe that a ghost could possess a fire and an ice core at the same time…then again they are halfa's"
One of the guards Bifrost suddenly entered the room and said, "Sorry to interrupt sir, but the Great Ones are heading our way"
They both immediately followed Bifrost outside and watched as the Spectre Speeder landed in the village, their smiles then dropped into concerned and worried faces as they watched Sam and Andrew exit the Spectre Speeder with Jack and Maddie carrying the unconscious Danny and Dayla in their arms.
"Family and lovers of the Great Ones, what has happened?" Frostbite asked.
"We were attacked by this ghost named Blizzard who has the same ice powers as Danny and Dayla only stronger" Sam answered. Andrew then finished, "He fired a blast of both ice and ecto energy straight into their chests and now they're in this state"
Frostbite took a close look at Danny and Dayla and then nodded in confirmation and ordered Bifrost and IceBlast, "Take the Great Ones to the medical facility immediately and place them into the de-icing chambers"
The two ghosts nodded and took Danny and Dayla from Jack and Maddie's arms, all of them then followed them to the medical facility and watched as the doctors removed Danny and Dayla's suits, placed the oxygen masks on their faces and place them in the de-icing chambers.
Frostbite then looked at their charts and said, "They're going to be alright. Blizzard had damaged their ice cores but the de-icing chamber will help repair them"
"How long before they wake up?" Jack asked.
"About three hours, why don't you four come with me to the waiting room where we can discuss what happened" Frostbite suggested. "I have been meaning to come and see the Great Ones anyway"
"Really? How come?" Maddie asked.
The female ghost stepped forward and said, "I believe I can answer that"
"Who are you?" Maddie then asked.
"My name is Phoenix" She answered with a gentle smile. "And Frostbite and I were going to see your children because I had sensed something about them yesterday at my home"
"Does it have anything to do that they somehow summoned fire as they were fighting Blizzard?" Andrew asked.
She nodded and said, "I'll explain everything once they wake up"
Meanwhile back in Amity Park, all the citizens were being kept at Casper High or the Amity Park mall, the heaters were on full blast trying to keep everyone warm. Tucker was at the mall helping out there while Valerie was helping out at Casper High.
Valerie walked up to Mr Lancer and Lunch Lady Doris who were cooking hot soup for everyone and asked, "How's the food going?"
"Pretty good. We'll be ready to hand it out soon" Lunch Lady Doris answered.
"Good" Valerie said. She then turned to Dash and Kwan and asked, "Guys how we are doing keeping everyone warm?"
"The heaters are up to full capacity and we have been handing out blankets to everyone" Dash answered.
Valerie pulled activated her Fenton Phone and called Tucker and asked, "Tucker anything to report?"
"Nothing yet" He answered. "Johnathan and I have taken care of everything here at the mall keeping everyone warm and out of the storm. The last few citizens arrived just a few minutes ago and there has been no sign of Blizzard around here"
"There's no sign of him around Casper High either. Keep an eye out and contact me as soon as you see him" Valerie said.
"Roger. Over and out" Tucker said.
A little girl holding Danny and Dayla Phantom plush toys walked up to Tucker and asked, "Are Danny and Dayla Phantom going to be back?"
Tucker smiled at the little girl and kneeled down to her height, he placed a hand on her shoulder and said, "They'll be back and they'll kick that ghost's butt back to the Ghost Zone. I promise"
She smiled and clutched her toys tight and then walked back to her parents, Johnathan then walked up to Tucker and asked, "Has there been any news from them?"
Tucker shook his head and answered, "Nothing yet but hopefully Frostbite will be able to help them"
Three hours later, Danny and Dayla groaned as they awoke feeling like they were floating. They both then saw they were in the de-icing chambers and they were back in their human forms. In front of them they saw Sam, Andrew, Jack, Maddie, Frostbite and a female ghost they had never met before.
"It is good to see you both awake Great Ones" Frostbite said with a smile.
"Frostbite" They both said in unison.
"How you feeling?" Sam asked.
"Much better" Danny asked. He then turned to Dayla and asked, "How about you Dayla?"
"Same here. Blizzard packs a real hard punch" Dayla answered.
"Indeed he does" Frostbite said as he brought a holographic image of him. "I would know because I had once trained him"
"You trained him?" Andrew asked.
He nodded and explained, "Blizzard appeared in the Ghost Zone five years ago, and he had a very powerful ice core. We found him wondering the Ghost Zone with nowhere to go so we welcomed him to our home and I started training him and teaching him to control his ice powers. After two years he had fully mastered his powers, however having ice powers wasn't enough and so he had tried to take over the Far Frozen, he even went as far to try and steal the Infimap, but we had managed to defeat him thanks to the help of my friend Phoenix which is who you see before used her fire powers to weaken him enough, but before we could grab him he flew off swearing he would find a new kingdom to take over. It looks like he has chosen your world to take"
"Yeah tell me about it" Danny said. "Dayla and I tried to stop him, but unfortunately he was more powerful than us. We only managed to push him back a bit with this weird new power we somehow summoned"
"Ah yes that new power you mentioned" Phoenix spoke up. "First off it's an honour to meet the two halfa's who not only defeated Pariah Dark but saved both worlds from destruction. I am Phoenix"
"It's nice to meet you" Dayla said. She then asked, "Has this new power got something to do with both Danny and I feeling warm all day?"
She smiled and answered, "Yes it does"
She walked over to the screen where it showed x-rays of both Danny and Dayla's central core was both blue and red at the same time. She then explained, "When you both first gained your ice powers, I'm guessing Frostbite had mentioned how you're central core readings indicate extreme cold and that your bodies are self-generating it, the same thing is happening again only now your central core readings indicate not only extreme cold but also extreme heat. You two are the first not only ghost but the first half-ghosts to have both fire and ice cores at the same time"
"Incredible" Everyone said at the same time.
"Yes and I will teach you both how to control the fire powers, but we will need to hurry because according to your family we only have 45 hours to be ready for when Blizzard returns to your home" She said.
Danny and Dayla nodded in determination and said, "Bring it on"
An hour later Danny and Dayla were taken out of the de-icing chambers and were back in their ghost forms, Frostbite had accompanied them all to Phoenix's volcanic home to watch their training.
"My home is perfect for this training, especially since we are near a volcano" She started. "Before we begin there is something you need to know about fire that I want you both to keep in mind. Fire maybe destruction and dangerous, but it is also energy and life"
"The main reason why you both were feeling warm today is like your ice powers, the heat and energy of the fire is contained within you both and the first step is to allow the energy out all at once" She continued. "Have a try. Remember it's just like releasing your ice powers, just let the energy within you flow until it has nowhere to go but out. I suggest all of us stand back please a fair distance"
Everyone moved out of the way as Danny and Dayla followed her instructions and closed their eyes, they felt the warm energy of fire within them and then in one burst, flames shot out of their hands and into the air. They opened their eyes and smiled as they both felt they were back at their normal temperatures, they both then saw their reflections in a small water puddle and saw that their eyes were fiery orange.
"Well done both of you, now let's continue our training" Phoenix said with a smile.
Over the next few hours, Frostbite had also helped them during the training. In one part, he created some ice sculptures of some of their enemies and Phoenix melted them with a burst of fire. Danny then had a go and managed to melt two out of the five sculptures, Dayla then tried but she accidently set one of the bushes on fire instead of melting the sculptures.
Phoenix then showed them how to create a circle of fire around them and use it to fend off attacks, Frostbite and Maddie fired blasts from her weapon and Frostbite fired ice shards straight at her, the fire moved around her in a perfect circle and fended off both attacks much like an ecto shield would.
Dayla then tried and moved exactly like Phoenix did in a full circle and concentrated, she smiled as she managed to make a full circle of fire around her. Danny then tried but instead of a circle, he made a triangle instead.
"Well….it's practically the same" Phoenix commented. "Don't worry, the first time I did that I made it look like octopus tentacles"
The rest of the day, Phoenix had shown then how to make their fire into different types of weapons such as a flame thrower, a sword and a staff.
The next day they stood in front of the Spectre Speeder, ready to go and face Blizzard. Danny then said, "Thank you both so much for all your help"
"Always a pleasure to help the Great Ones" Frostbite said.
"If either of you need me whether it's more training with your powers or when you need help facing a foe, consider me one of your allies" Phoenix said.
"Thank you Phoenix" Dayla said.
"I wish you both luck as you face Blizzard" Phoenix said.
They all then climbed into the Spectre Speeder and headed back for the Fenton Portal, they entered the portal and landed in the lab. Jack, Maddie, Sam and Andrew then put on thick snow coats to keep them warm from the bitter cold happening outside.
Sam activated her Fenton Phone and called Valerie, "Valerie we're back. What's the situation? Any sign of Blizzard?"
"It's gotten colder out there, we're all doing fine though" Valerie answered. "There has been no sign of Blizzard and the snow storm is getting worse by the second"
"Okay. Val call Tucker and tell him to just keep everyone inside, we don't want anyone outside during the fight" Dayla then said. "We'll call you both if we need assistance"
"Roger that" Valerie said and then hung.
Jack tried to open the front door but the outside was frozen, with one more hard push he managed to push the door open and they could see what Valerie had meant, it was getting colder and the storm was getting worse, the RV was completely covered in snow as well as other vehicles and houses outside.
A spine chilling laugh then filled the air and then suddenly Blizzard appeared before them and he said, "You two are still alive? HA! I will say this, you both are brave but very foolish to think either of you could possibly defeat me"
"You guys stand by and get ready to capture him" Danny said.
"But Danny…" Sam was about to protest but Dayla said, "It's okay Sam. We got this"
"Just be careful" Both Sam and Andrew said showing concern for their partners.
They both nodded and then Danny whispered to Dayla, "We play around with him at first, make him think we haven't learned anything new and then we'll unleash the fire"
She nodded and then without hesitation, both charged straight for Blizzard. He laughed and asked sarcastically, "Haven't you children learned anything from your last beating? I am stronger than you!"
Dayla started firing some blasts of ecto energy at him keeping him distracted, Danny then flew behind him and wrapped him tight in some ecto rope he made out of his own ecto energy.
"Not bad but do you two really think you could trap me in pathetic rope like this?" Blizzard said.
"I think we just did so why don't you just surrender now and save yourself from a world of pain" Danny suggested.
He suddenly vanished into thin air, he then reappeared behind them with two ice duplicates by his side and the duplicates grabbed them both tightly by their arms. He grinned at them evilly and said as he prepared two medium sized snowflakes in his hands, "You both should've just stayed out of my way"
Sam and Andrew were about to go and do something but Jack and Maddie held them back as Jack said, "Don't. They can do this"
"This time I'm gonna make sure you both die a frozen death" Blizzard said as he prepared to place the snowflakes inside their hearts. "Now nothing shall stand in my way as I take over your home. Goodbye Phantoms"
Danny and Dayla closed their eyes and looked for the fire within themselves, their eyes suddenly revealing the fiery orange in their eyes as they screamed, "LEAVE OUR FRIENDS, OUR FAMILY AND OUR TOWN ALONE!"
There was a bright flash of fiery light and Blizzard was thrown back in shock, he regained his bearings and then looked in shock as Danny and Dayla's bodies glowed the same colour as their eyes and flames danced in their hands as his ice duplicates melted into water and fell from the sky.
"We had warned you and now you have just entered a world of pain" Dayla said.
They both fired another fire blast straight at Blizzard who was in too much shock to create an ice shield and was hit dead on by the fire. He heard his body sizzling as the fire hit, he growled in anger and then summoned a lot of ice energy within his hands and fired a huge blast straight for them, Dayla then stood in front of Danny and created a circle wall of fire around them and deflected the blast.
Blizzard then charged straight for them with a sword made out of ice, Danny created his own sword out of fire and started fighting Blizzard blade against blade, however the fire of Danny's sword was so hot, it cut Blizzard's sword straight in half and before Blizzard could do anything, Dayla punched him right in the gut and sent him straight into the ground.
Blizzard groaned as he sat up and said, "I haven't fought someone with fire powers for a long time. Phoenix trained you both didn't she?"
"Yes she did" Dayla answered as she and Danny landed in front of him on the snow covered ground. Danny then said, "And I have to say she is an excellent teacher as well as Frostbite"
He stood up weakly and growled as he screamed, "THIS ISN'T OVER!"
He raised his hands and the snow in the air formed into a giant ice hard snow ball and was about to throw it at them but Danny and Dayla both nodded to each other and held hands, they both started combining their fire energy together and then screamed as they released it into one huge blast and it hit Blizzard dead on and sent him flying into a tree as the blast continued.
He screamed in pain as they continued to blast for a few more seconds and then stopped, his clothes were burnt and his face was covered in ash and burns, he tried to get up but he was too weak and fell back down. Danny and Dayla groaned and almost collapsed but managed to stay standing as Sam held onto Danny and Andrew held onto Dayla.
Maddie handed Danny then thermos and he said as he opened the lid, "As protectors of Amity Park, we hereby arrest you for causing a snow storm in Amity Park, trying to take it over and for being a major pain in the butt"
"No! Nooo! NOOOOOOO!" Blizzard screamed as he was sucked inside the Fenton Thermos.
With Blizzard gone the snow storm ended, the sun started shining and all the snow melted into puddles of water, everyone cheered for their heroes as they ran out of Casper High and the Amity Park Mall. Valerie and Tucker joined in as Danny and Dayla changed back into their human forms.
"I'm glad that storm is over" Johnathan said. "Well done you two on taking care of that ghost"
"I don't know about you guys but I got snow board being at the mall" Tucker said and then laughed.
Everyone groaned at Tucker's joke who then said, "Oh come on! That was a good one!"
"Sorry Tuck maybe next time" Valerie said and they all laughed as he pouted in annoyance.
