Once again I do not own Danny Phantom or Arrow

Chapter 19: Sam's Training

"Find the peace within you and let that grow." Undergrowth looked down at his pupil, even though she was part of the trio the prevented his reign, she was a good student. He watched as a dark green glow began to appear around her. "Now, imagine a vine growing from the ground." He watched as a vine grew from the pot that was set between them. "Open your eyes." Sam's eyes opened and looked at the progress she made. "You can give the vine some action by moving your hands in different directions." She moved her hand to the side, the vine following what she did.

"Yes, awesome!" She yelled throwing her hands in the air. The vine grew more hitting the ceiling. "Oops."

Undergrowth sighed, he glanced down at the human turned ghost before noticing something different in the pot. Sam lowered her arms and cut off her concentration. She looked down at the plot as well when she sensed Undergrowth change his emotions. The pot now held a couple of flowers, they were multiple shades of purple with three large petals surrounding three small petals that had spots on them. "It seems," Undergrowth started, "you are able to grow plants based off of your emotions. These are what the humans call Alstroemeria, they grew from your sense of accomplishment and excitement. Since you died as a human your emotions are stronger, your abilities are tied directly to them."

"What else will grow with them?"

"That will be something you can find out yourself." Sam knew that he didn't mean it like that, he meant that she had to figure out what emotions grew which kind of plants. He couldn't help with that since he never had the experience.

"What's next?"

"Next, is your etiquette lesson with Princess Dora."

"Okay."

(Line Break)

"The oval spoon is for the soup."

"No offense Dora, but I already know proper dining."

"Then, we will head into the ceremonies." Sam followed Dora out of the dining hall and into the Grand Hall. "Ceremonies that may take place in the Grand Hall include treaty signing, Ascension, and Marriage. Anything that is meant for public knowledge should be made here."

"Why are the residents reluctant in having another king?"

"When Pariah took on the responsibility as king, he was honest. He was doubtful that he could become what the kingdom needed."

"Just like Danny is."

Dora only shook her head, "Prince Phantom is only doubtful because he wishes not to become evil." Dora walked to the far end, looking out the window. "Pariah did something drastic." Sam stood beside her. "To become king he either had to have the power or he had to marry into royalty. He didn't want to marry into an arranged marriage. So he trained hard for the level of power that was required. Eventually he heard of two items that could prove his worth." She stopped for a moment and clenched her hands over the windowsill. "Originally known as symbols of power since they could hold the power of the King."

"Pariah wasn't king yet."

"No, the power that was stored in them was from the King before him. Since Pariah placed the ring and crown on himself without an audience, the crown and ring became infused with dark majic. Throughout the years the items were renamed as the Ring of Rage and Crown of Fire. They corrupted Pariah, turning him into the tyrant that we fear."

"Now I know why Danny was against the idea of becoming king."

"If Phantom becomes a true king then the ring and crown might return to their original purpose. The dark majic will leave, and pure light will bring peace."

"The ghosts that placed Pariah in the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep, what happened to them?"

"It took seven to seal him. They were the seven ghosts that represented different aspects of the worlds." Dora looked over at Sam. "You know the one. The ghosts of Life, Death, and Time are known. The last two are only rumored to have lost their lives from the battle. Their titles are lost through time."

"Clockwork." Sam whispered.

"Yes."

"What about the location of Life and Death?"

"Only Time knows."

"What are the respectable bows that I must know?"

Dora smiled at the change in subject. "A simple curtsy towards your kingdom, a half bow towards other royal families, a full bow to give if you find someone who has earned your respect."

"Will Danny get these lessons as well?"

"Prince Phantom will get a wardrobe change at the least." Sam smiled for a little before getting a lost looked. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah. Just that it's never been the same without the third member of our group."

"Sir Tucker? I remember. Maybe some people are better left to their own devices."

(Line Break)

"Close your eyes and take a deep breath." Oliver and Danny were sitting on the foundry floor with a single candle between them. "Breath out." As Danny relaxed his mind a figure appeared. "Find the problem and block it out." Danny imagined a wall that came between him and the figure. He opened his eyes and felt more at peace. Oliver watched as his eyes burned a clear radioactive green with no hints of red in them. Danny's shoulders relaxed and his eyes slowly faded into their normal icy blue. "Feeling better?"

"Yeah, thanks."

"Ember, you will remember. Ember, so warm and tender. You will remember my name." Danny looked around for the source of the music.

"How long has that been going for?"

"Just started." Felicity said. "I began running searches based off of your ghost files and this came up. New Pop Artist Creates Big Hit."

"I'll head out." Danny said transforming.

"Ember is at the Starling City Stadium."

Gaining altitude, Danny saw the stadium lights glow in the darkness blinding even the brightest of stars. "Found it. Thank you, Felicity." He flew closer hearing Ember's song grow louder. It was an open roof stadium allowing him to float above the large crowd that gathered around the stage. The crowd screamed Ember's name; her ponytail, which usually grew larger, stayed the same. Confused yet he stayed invisible out of sight, but still in close enough range to get the attention of the pop singer. The fingers on her guitar slowed confusing some of her fans at the front of the stage. Ember glanced up towards Danny, knowing that he was here. She brought the tempo back up to the original speed. Danny floated there, dumbfounded that Ember did not start a fight.

"Thank you, Starling City!" she and the band disappeared in a flash of smoke. Danny phased through the rooms trying to find the pop singer. "What do you want, dipstick?"

Danny turned tangible, standing on the black linoleum floor. The dressing room lights provided a mysterious atmosphere in the room. "What's the reason you're here?"

"Just because we created some chaos in the past doesn't mean we will return to those habits."

"You usually grow stronger when people chant your name."

"I didn't hypnotize the crowd."

"Then why…?"

"I just want to spread my music." Ember walked over to the vanity, she opened the drawer and pulled out a black box. "Also to find and give this to you." Taking the black box, Danny opened it and nearly dropped it once he found out what it was. "Plasmius had that in his possession. When the true king wears the ring, the emblem on the ring will change."

"I'm not becoming the next king."

"Plasmius will be out for you. He won't stop until either you step up to the throne or your dead."

"How many are against me?"

"None that I know. We're heading to the next city, see ya, baby pop." Ember disappeared making all the lights in the stadium turn off.

Danny closed the box and flew back to the foundry. 'I won't be the king, but if Plasmius wants a fight…I'll do anything to stop him.

(Line Break)

"All that needs is a circuit board." The ghost stated looking at the device in his hands.

"Do you need help with that?" another asked him.

"I am Technus! Master of all things electronic and beeping!"

"Dude, you say that line every time."

Technus turned around to see another ghost with a red beret, yellow shirt, and green cargo pant holding a PDA. "You are the kid that is usually with the halfa!"

"Sam, Jazz, and I worked together to break Danny out of the government's facility. For some reason I came here."

"Yes, the goth and soon to be queen."

"Sam's here?"

"She's been working with Undergrowth and Princess Dora."

"Can you take me to her?"

"I, Technus, will take you to the lady."

(Line Break)

"Are you okay?" Diggle asked coming over to Danny. "You've been staring at that box for a while."

"Yeah, just thinking."

"Is it about taking the throne?"

"To take the throne I must wear the Ring of Rage and Crown of Fire."

"Aren't they just symbols of power?"

"No. They are infused with dark majic. They can corrupt however wears them."

"You haven't expressed any hidden anger since you've been meditating."

"I know. It's just," Danny paused. "all the ghost have been pressuring that I'm the true king. I'll do whatever I can to defeat Plasmius, but I don't want the throne."

"Why not just let another take it?"

"He's trying. If he defeats me in a duel, he gets the throne. He'll ruthlessly rule both the human zone and ghost zone."

"You do what you think is right. It may not be what you or others see, but in time you'll know what to do. You have a team here that is willing to help you. Don't forget that."

Danny opened the box to glance at the ring before closing it and following Diggle back to the house to get a better night's sleep than before.

I just keep thinking how alike Team Arrow and Team Phantom really are.

Both have hackers, the hero/leader, and another person that is the backup/kicks the leaders head into the right direction.

Sam is goth. Felicity used to be goth. Danny and Oliver dated a Huntress.

Two of the members of each team have feelings for each other.

There's a fourth/fifth that knows the secret and apart of said secret. (Dani and Jazz/Roy and Laurel)

Both have issues with a billionaire enemy, government organization, law enforcement hated them (At first)

Danny and Oliver have the two façade going. They both need to act weak so their identities can't be connected.

...now I'm pretty sure I just written a Danny Phantom version of Arrow Season 3. *bangs head on desk*

If you haven't read 'Teamwork' yet, the second chapter are full of plot bunnies that can be adopted. As stated above, the last random story has been adopted.

Please don't comment on how I spelled 'Majic'. I know that it's actually spelled 'magic'. i just find the other way more mysterious and misunderstood.
