High above the zoo, the ghostly trip sat in a gondola where Danielle stared out the window in awe as she took in the sheer size of the place.
"This place is huge!" exclaimed the little one.
"Well it is sixty-nine acres," explained Danny with a laugh, finding Danielle's child-like wonderment entertaining. "They need all of that space for the four thousand animals they have here."
"They have that many?!" squeaked out the ghostling, turning to her guardian with wide eyes.
"That's right, Mini-Pop. Not only that, but most of those animals can only be found here in Australia," added Ember, also amused by Danielle's wonderment.
"Are we going to be able to see all of them?" asked Danielle, looking back out the window.
Danny merely ruffled her hair. "We're going to try."
The gondola soon came to a stop and the ghostly trio got off, ready to look at the various animals the zoo had to offer. Unbeknownst to them, they were being followed.
"Right in range," stated Bruno as he and Sheila got off a different gondola. He had his ghost detector out and pointing in the direction the trio were heading in.
"B-Bruno! Do you have any idea who that is?!" questioned the blonde in a hushed tone. "I think that's Danny Phantom!"
Bruno raised an eyebrow before getting a better look at his prey. A grin made its way onto his face. "This just makes things better now, doesn't it, Sheila?"
She couldn't believe what she was hearing. She already didn't like this plan to begin with, only going along with Bruno in hopes of talking him out of it, but the fact that Bruno was willing to hunt the world's hero and what was apparently the hero's family…it made it even more disturbing.
Actually, why WAS there a child that looked like Phantom? Never mind that! She needed to stop Bruno!
"Bruno, I think this is a REALLY bad idea!" stated Sheila, afraid of what could happen.
"Then it's a good idea I didn't hire you or pay you to think," growled out Bruno as he cast a side glare at the blonde. "Now stop your yapping and move it!"
Oh how she wished she could throttle this man! She quickly followed after Bruno, thinking of some way to stop this.
-:-
One of the first animals the ghostly trio stopped to look at was one of the national symbols of Australia and quite a large animal at that. Some were larger than others, red fur covering their bodies, while the smaller ones were covered in grey fur. Of course that wasn't the first thing Danielle noticed.
"Danny! Some of these things have two heads!"
The older Halfa's mouth twitched into a smile while Ember had a slight giggle fit.
"These are kangaroos, Danielle. More specifically red kangaroos and those "second heads" are actually babies nestled in their mothers' pouches," explained Danny.
"Really? Wait, pouches?" questioned the ghostling as she looked back at the animals in confusion.
Danny nodded as he started to explain. "That's right. There's a small group of mammals known as marsupials, which carry their young in abdominal pouches. About three-quarters of all marsupials fall under the superorder known as Australidelphia and all but one species from that superorder live here in Australia. The red kangaroo here is actually the largest living marsupial."
From their hiding spot, Bruno had a blank look on his face while Sheila was genuinely impressed.
"Wow. I wouldn't have expected such knowledge about our wildlife from a Yank," stated the blonde. She then cast a smirk towards Bruno. "He might know more than you do."
The zookeeper just let out a growl of disapproval.
Back with the ghosts, the girls stared at Danny with wide eyes, causing the boy to raise an eyebrow in curiosity.
"So not only do you know about history, but you know biology as well, huh, Baby-Pop?" questioned Ember, giving a teasing smirk.
He just gave off a shrug. "I once had to study a purple-back gorilla at the Amity Park Zoo for extra credit and that might have led to learning about other animals."
"How'd you do on the extra credit?" asked the rock diva, curious.
"Considering I discovered that the gorilla was a she instead of a he like everyone else thought, I say I did pretty well," replied Danny with a smug grin.
Ember let out some giggles. "Look at my Baby-Pop, smarter than professional animal experts."
"Just call me the next Jack Hanna," replied the boy, going along with it.
The little group then headed off to see more animals, with the zookeepers right behind them.
-:-
"That's a really big bird," said Danielle as she watched the large birds walk about.
"Those are emus, Danielle," replied Danny. "They're the largest native bird of Australia and the second-largest living bird by height after the ostrich."
"If these are the second biggest birds, I can't wait to see those ostrich things," stated the ghostling, shaking slightly in anticipation.
"That'll have to be for another day, Mini-Pop. Unfortunately this zoo doesn't have any ostriches," explained Ember, unfortunately bursting the little one's bubble.
Danny then ruffled the little one's hair. "Don't get down, Danielle. Besides, emus are way better than ostriches anyway."
"How come?" she questioned.
"Because of the Emu War."
Danielle tilted her head in confusion, while Ember gave Danny a deadpan look.
"The Emu War, Baby-Pop?"
"It was a real thing," he replied as he pulled out his phone and made a few taps before handing it to Ember. "Back in late 1932 Western Australia was overrun by emus to the point that the birds were destroying crops. Citizens were unsuccessful in stopping the emus and had asked for assistance from the military…who were just as unsuccessful at getting rid of the emus. Armed soldiers actually lost to these birds."
Ember blinked a few times before looking at the article Danny handed her. "Well I'll be damned."
"So cool," added Danielle as she looked at the emus in awe. She then turned back to her guardians, opening her mouth to say something, but…
"No emus," stated the teens, each in a deadpan tone, as they knew exactly what the little one was going to ask.
Danielle could only pout as she turned back to look at the emus.
Ember rolled her eyes at the little one before turning to Danny with a grin. "So these birds kicked a bunch of soldiers' asses, huh? Says a lot about the Australian military."
Danny could only laugh as he and the girls left the emus. With Bruno, he had a scowl on his face, while Sheila looked at him weirdly.
"And what's got your knickers in a bunch now?" questioned Sheila, earning a glare from Bruno.
"My granddad was in that war! Bleeding Yanks. They don't know anything about what men had to go through back then!" replied the zookeeper with a growl.
Sheila could only roll her eyes as she and Bruno followed after the ghosts.
-:-
Entering the building, the three went over to the main pond to look at the building's namesake. Upon seeing the animal though…
"What exactly am I looking at?" asked Danielle, a blank look on her face as she looked at the strange looking creature swimming around.
The creature had a beaver-like body and tail, webbed feet, and duck-like bill.
"That would be a platypus, Danielle," said Danny. "Despite its appearance, it's actually a type of mammal and a very unique one at that."
"I can see that. It has a beak!"
"Well not only that, but the platypus is one of two species of mammals that fall under the group known as monotremes and monotremes are the only mammals that lay eggs instead of giving live birth," explained Danny. "The platypus is also one of the VERY few mammals to be venomous, with the male platypus having a venomous spur on its hind leg."
"Wait, what?" questioned the ghostling.
Even Ember was surprised by this information. "I don't know what's stranger; that it can lay eggs or that it can kill you."
"Well technically platypus venom can't kill a human, but it can be very painful," stated the older Halfa.
Danielle looked at the platypus with narrowed eyes. "Danny, are you sure this thing is what you say it is? It doesn't even look like it should be real!"
A laugh escaped the older Halfa. "That's exactly what European naturalists thought back in 1798. So much so that the first scientists to examine a preserved body of a platypus judged it to be fake, with it just being parts of various animals sewn together."
"So they thought it was Frankenstein before there was a Frankenstein," said Ember.
"Exactly."
The ghostling kept looking at the platypus before ultimately pointing at it. "Your name is now Frankie!"
She then scampered off to see the rest of the animals on exhibit in the Platypus House. Danny and Ember glanced at each other, each wondering why the little one decided to name the platypus, especially since it probably already had a name.
An annoyed Bruno followed after, his eye twitching all the while.
"There's something wrong with that pup of theirs," he muttered out.
Sheila held back a giggle as she made a mental note to name the next platypus they get "Frankie".
-:-
They were nearing the end, having seen as many of the animals the zoo had to show. This left one of the most recognizable ones for last.
"Aw, look at the teddy bear in the tree!" squeaked out Danielle. She then frowned. "Why is it not moving?"
"That's a koala, Danielle. Despite how it looks, it's actually not a bear at all, but a marsupial just like the kangaroo," explained Danny. "As for why it's not moving, koala's tend to sleep up to twenty to twenty-two hours a day."
"Twenty-two hours?" questioned Ember, turning to her Baby-Pop. "How the hell are they able to sleep that much?"
"It's because they eat only eucalyptus leaves, which have little to no nutritional value and take a long time to digest. They sleep that much to conserve what little energy they have. In fact, out of all the animals in existence, koalas sleep the most."
"And I thought sloths were the laziest ones," muttered out the fiery girl.
"They look kinda cuddly like this though," chirped Danielle with a cute smile.
"Don't let their appearance fool you, Danielle," warned Danny, glancing at his little clone. "Koalas are asocial creatures and can be very aggressive towards others. The only bonds koalas make are between mothers and their offspring."
Ember gave off a scoff. "Seriously? And I thought humans were the only mammals capable of hitting it and quitting it."
"What does that mean?" asked Danielle, tilting her head in confusion.
Realizing her mistake, Ember blushed slightly in embarrassment. "N-Never mind that, Mini-Pop. J-Just forget what I said."
"And with that I think it's time to leave," said Danny in a deadpan tone. "We'll stop at the zoo shop first and then head off to Bondi Beach for the rest of the day."
"I want a plushy!" exclaimed the ghostling as she ran on ahead.
The teens followed behind, walking side-by-side. As they did, Danny leaned over to whisper in Ember's ear.
"If she starts asking about sex, you're the one giving her the talk."
With her blush returning full force, Ember whipped her head around to look at Danny. "Wh-What?! Wh-Why?! I d-didn't mean to say wh-what I said out loud!"
"But you still did," replied Danny. He then gave her a grin. "I wouldn't worry too much, though. Chances are she'll get distracted enough and forget the whole thing."
Ember could only hope.
-:-
The waves crashed into the sand as the ghostly trio, now in their swimwear, stepped onto the beach.
"This beach looks different than the one we went to in Los Angeles," said Danielle, her new plushy (a koala dressed in outback gear) in hand.
"It's the lack of palm trees," replied Ember, adjusting her sunglasses. "Now let's find a spot!"
The three headed further onto the beach and set up their things once they found the perfect spot. Once the towels and parasol were in place, Danielle got started on building a sand castle while Ember lay on her stomach on her beach towel.
"Oh Baby-Pop~ Can you put some sunscreen on my back for me, please?" asked the rock diva, holding up a bottle of sunscreen and lightly shaking it. She was also looking over her shoulder and giving the boy a seductive smile.
To her surprise though, he gave her a questioning look. "Can ghosts even get sunburns?"
It was a legitimate question once Ember thought about it. "Not really, but I figured you and I could enjoy this little bit of intimacy."
Shaking his head in amusement, Danny took the bottle and squeezed out a generous amount of sunscreen. He then started to massage it into Ember's pale skin.
"Oh Baby-Pop!" moaned out Ember, not believing what she was feeling. Who knew Baby-Pop had magic fingers? She was definitely going to ask for more massages in the future.
The boy continued maneuvering his fingers across Ember's back and shoulders, much to her pleasure. Pleasure soon turned into annoyance though when a voice called out to them.
"Look what we got here, mates. A couple of bleeding Yanks on our beach!"
Turning annoyed looks towards the speaker, Danny and Ember found a small group of teens, their ringleader being a boy with sandy blond hair. The native teens were looking down on the young couple with looks of superiority.
"Can we help you with something?" asked Danny, already hating these people.
"Yeah, you can leave," spoke the blond boy. "We don't care for outsiders on our beach."
"Oh no. Tourists visiting a well-known tourist spot. Call the police," replied Ember in a deadpan tone. She then gave the boy a narrowed look. "Are you on something, dipstick?"
"Hey! Don't call Tobias a dipstick, you dipstick!" yelled out a brunette as she glared Ember.
As the girls got into a glaring match, Danny stepped up to Tobias. "Look, we're not looking for any trouble. All we're doing is trying to enjoy a day at the beach."
Tobias merely scoffed before glaring at Danny. "You're still an outsider and we don't want you here."
"Okay…" started Danny. "Except that it's really not your decision whether or not we're here. And you can't really force us to leave, either."
A scowl appeared on Tobias' face before being replaced with a cocky smirk. "Then how about we have a little competition? When I win, you have to leave."
"You mean IF you win," stated the Halfa, causing Tobias' eye to twitch. "And what sort of competition did you have in mind?"
"What else would it be at Bondi? A surfing competition!"
Danny just gave off a shrug. "Sure, okay."
The tone from the Halfa caused Tobias to let out a growl. "H-Hey! I know that tone! You must be a right drongo if you think you can pull a Steve Bradbury on me!"
"We'll let the waves do the talking," replied Danny with a smirk that caused Tobias to shake in anger. He loved getting under people's skin.
As Tobias angrily stomped away, with his little entourage following after, Ember and Danielle stepped up to Danny.
"Do you even know how to surf, Baby-Pop?" demanded Ember, getting right to the point as she crossed her arms and gave the boy a narrowed look.
"Shouldn't be too hard," replied Danny. "Valerie's let me use her hoverboard a few times when I was curious as to how it worked."
"Surfing and hovering are two completely different things, Baby-Pop," deadpanned the fiery girl.
Danny just waved her off. "Eh, I'll be fine. When I used Valerie's hoverboard, she was surprised by how much of a fast learner I am, so I should be able to get a hang on surfing as I go."
That still didn't lessen Ember's worries.
"Just make sure you kick that guy's butt, Danny!" squeaked out Danielle with a determined look. "He deserves it for being mean!"
With a ruffle to the ghostling's hair, Danny set off to get what he needed for the competition. Once he had a surfboard in hand, a nice black and white one, he and the girls made their way to meet with Tobias and his entourage.
"Don't even think you can beat me, Yank! Us Aussies were made for the waves!" declared Tobias, his own blue surfboard in hand.
"As the saying goes; actions speak louder than words," said Danny, glancing at his opponent. "So let's surf."
The two boys ran towards the water, catching the first wave they could in a bid to earn victory. While Ember knew absolutely nothing about surfing, it looked like Baby-Pop was doing well, being able to keep up with the native dipstick.
"Go, Baby-Pop, go," said Ember to herself, not wanting to shout and distract her boyfriend.
"Your man's not going to win against Tobias," said the brunette from earlier, giving Ember a side glare.
Ember returned the glare with a glare of her own. "Slag off, bitch."
A haughty look appeared on the brunette's face. "You know it's true. Tobias is just better than a Yank."
"Is that why he's yelling at Danny while Danny's doing tricks?" asked Danielle, pointing out at the surf competition.
Everyone turned and paid attention to the two surfers, now hearing Tobias yelling out curses while Danny was laughing and doing various poses and flips on the board as the two were riding the top of a large wave.
Ember turned to the now blank-faced brunette with a taunting grin. "Care to retract what you said about my Baby-Pop?"
The brunette started to fidget in nervousness.
With Danny and Tobias, the two teens maneuvered down the wave and entered into the tube made by the water. While inside, Danny continued to laugh as Tobias glared hatefully at him.
"I refuse to lose to a Yank!" exclaimed the blond boy.
"Well there's a first for everything!" called back Danny as he left Tobias in the metaphorical dust.
They soon exited the tube and were making their way back to the shore. Unfortunately for Tobias, his anger got the best of him and he took a too sharp of a turn and wipeout, handing Danny the victory as the raven-haired boy reached the beach.
Once back on solid ground, Danny was met with a very happy rock diva who glomped him.
"I knew you'd beat that dipstick!" exclaimed Ember, hugging and nuzzling her Baby-Pop.
Danny let out a laugh and gave her a teasing smirk. "Weren't you worried earlier since this was the first time I've gone surfing?"
This caused Ember to blush slightly, but she refused to dignify that with an answer.
Tobias, now soaking wet as he finally arrived on the beach, overheard what was said and couldn't believe he lost to someone who had never surfed in their life! Gritting his teeth in anger, he was about to call out the Yank, but…
*BANG*
A loud bang went off and the next thing Danny and Ember knew was that they were knocked to the ground as a net wrapped around them, binding them together. Tobias and his entourage took this opportunity to run away, not wanting to get involved with whatever was about to happen.
"Hey! What's the big idea here?!" demanded Ember, as she and Danny struggled to escape. Why couldn't ghost through this thing?!
They then heard footsteps in the sand. Looking up, they saw a tall, muscular man staring down at them with a grin on his face and a large bazooka in his hand. Was he the one who shot the net at them?!
"G'day, mates. The name's Bruno and starting today you're going to be the newest residents at the Taronga Zoo," stated the man, pride emanating off of him in waves.
The ghostly teens glanced at each other before looking back at Bruno with blank looks.
"What the hell are you talking about, dipstick?!" demanded the rock diva, her blank look turning into a glare.
"In case you haven't noticed, girl, I'm the head zookeeper of the Taronga Zoo and I've been following you all day in hopes of capturing you," explained Bruno.
"But why?" questioned Danny. "We didn't do anything!"
"It's simple really. You're ghosts," replied the zookeeper, bringing out his ghost detector and surprising the ghostly couple. "I want to have more people come to the zoo and what better way than to have a couple of ghosts on exhibit."
"Are…Are you insane?! You can't put us in cages like we're some kind of animals!" yelled out Ember, wanting to burn this guy to a crisp.
"Of course I can. People will come from all over and pay good money to ghosts. Best part about this is that I've got a male and a female ghost in my clutches, meaning I can breed you and you can pop out a few sprogs that I can eventually sell off to other zoos around the world!" exclaimed the zookeeper, showing his greed. "It's foolproof!"
Danny and Ember were horrified. Not only was this guy planning on turning Ember into a baby factory, but he was also planning to SELL those babies like they were merchandise!
"You're a sick son of bitch!" screamed out Ember as she tried to rip and tear open the net so she can throttle this man.
"Ah, don't be like that, girl," replied Bruno with a laugh that sent shivers of disgust down Ember's spine. "You and your mate will enjoy your new home!"
There was just one little problem with Bruno's plan and that problem was an angry ghostling that didn't take kindly when you messed with her family.
"Hey! Let Danny and Ember go!" demanded Danielle as she glared at the man.
Bruno let out a confused hum as he turned to look at the little one. "And speaking of sprogs, I seemed to have forgotten about this one. How about it, pup? Want to live at the zoo with the rest of your pack?"
"Don't call me a puppy!" snapped Danielle. "And I said let Danny and Ember go!"
"Not going to happen, pup," replied Bruno, starting to get annoyed now. "Now be a good little girl and come along quietly."
Danielle scowled at the man as she transformed into her ghost form. "Not going to happen."
And to Bruno's surprise, she took off in a blink of an eye.
"Crikey! She's fast!" exclaimed Bruno, looking about and keeping an eye open for the child.
Back with Danny and Ember, the fiery girl was starting to worry.
"Baby-Pop, we need to get out of here. We need to help Mini-Pop," she said as she continued to claw at the netting.
"While I agree we need to get out of here, I don't think we need to worry about Danielle," replied the older Halfa.
"Huh?" questioned the rock diva, turning as best she could to look at Danny.
"Just watch."
Turning back to where Bruno was standing, she watched as something suddenly punched him in the face.
"Ow!" yelled out Bruno, holding where he was hit in pain. He then looked around with a glare. "Where are you, you little ankle biter?!"
He then let out a yelp when something blasted him on the behind.
"Now let them go!" demanded Danielle, her hands engulfed in green ecto energy as she glared at the zookeeper.
Bruno could only let out a growl as he pointed his ghost bazooka at the child. "You're going to be the first one I sell off!"
He then started firing, but his aim was terrible as Danielle was easily able to dodge every single shot. She then shot a blast of her own, destroying Bruno's bazooka in the process.
"Ha! Try hitting me now!" taunted Danielle with a smirk.
With a yell of frustration, Bruno pulled out a small rod and pushed a button, turning the rod into an energy whip that he lashed out at Danielle. Not expecting this, Danielle couldn't dodge in time and the whip wrapped around her arm.
"Ha! Now I've got you, pup!" yelled out Bruno. "Time to reel you in!"
He pulled on the whip, but was surprised when he felt resistance. When he pulled for a second and third time he was met once more with resistance. Looking up to where the child was, he was met with a glare as she held onto the whip with her wrapped arm.
"Hey, Crocodile Mundane! Probably should have told you, but she's a LOT stronger than she looks," called out Danny, a smirk of his face while Ember had a shit eating grin on hers.
"…Uh, Sheila? Any chance you can give me some help?" asked Bruno, starting to sweat in fear. Receiving no answer, he looked towards where they parked the jeep to find her on the phone. "Sheila!"
Hearing her name, she looked up towards Bruno with a disinterested look. "Hm? Oh, sorry, Bruno, but I'm in the middle of something right now! Good luck though!"
He was doomed, wasn't he?
With a mighty tug, Danielle pulled Bruno off the ground and towards her where she then punched him right in the face, knocking out some teeth and sending him back to the sandy ground.
"That's what you get for being a dipstick!" yelled out Danielle as she glared down at the now unconscious zookeeper.
With Bruno out of commission, Danielle flew down to help Danny and Ember, only to bristle in fear when the blonde lady that was with Bruno was already there. She picked up speed to try and stop her, but became confused when the lady cut the net open and freed Danny and Ember.
"There! No more net!" chirped Sheila with a smile as she finished cutting open the net.
"…Why are you helping us?" asked a confused Danny as he and Ember stood up. "Aren't you with that guy?"
Sheila gave off a huff. "I may work at the zoo, but I was against this idea from the very start."
"Well at least some people have common sense," replied Ember with a huff of her own.
That was when a small object collided with the ghostly teens.
"Danny! Ember! You're okay!" squeaked out a teary eyed ghostling as she hugged them.
"Of course we're okay, Mini-Pop. You kicked that buy's butt! You even called him a dipstick, which makes me so proud!" exclaimed the rock diva as she hugged the little one back.
A groan then caught everyone's attention. Danny got in front of everyone and Ember held Danielle protectively as Bruno stood up and glared at them.
"It's not over yet, mates," growled out Bruno.
Before he could take a step though…
"Freeze!"
Everyone looked over to where the new voice came from to find a plethora of police and squad cars, guns pointing at Bruno, who immediately put his hands in the air.
"What are the cops doing here?" questioned Danny, he and the girls wide-eyed in surprise.
"That would be my doing," replied Sheila, proud of herself. "That's why I was on the phone earlier."
"You traitor!" yelled out Bruno as the police cuffed him and shoved him into one of the squad cars.
"Quiet you," said the police officer. "You're going away for a long time for selling off exotic animals on the black market and for illegal use of high tech weaponry."
As the police drove off, Danny let out a sigh, glad that this was over. "Still can't believe that he was actually planning on doing that."
"Don't remind me. You have no idea how much I want to throttle that sick freak," growled out Ember as she glared at the disappearing police cars.
"Well at least we can now spend the rest of our time in Sydney without worry," replied the older Halfa with a smirk.
"Hey, Danny?"
"Yes, Danielle?"
"That dipstick said he wanted to breed you and Ember. What exactly does that mean?" asked Danielle, looking at her current guardians in worry and confusion.
The ghostly teens blushed brightly, unable to answer the question due to embarrassment. All Sheila could do though was give them a look of sympathy.
It was going to be a long night.
-:-
"Thank you and good night, Sydney!" yelled out Ember to the cheers of the many Aussies that came to watch her rock out on the steps of the Sydney Opera House.
She had just finished up her concert and met up with the Phantom Duo by the tour bus. She was surprised to find Sheila there, waiting as well.
"That was a wonderful concert Miss McLain!" chirped the blonde.
"Uh, thanks…why are you here?" questioned the fiery girl.
"We were discussing what to do with Bruno's ghost hunting equipment," explained Danny. "Basically, all of it is going to be shipped to my folks back home so they can be properly disposed of."
"As the new head of the Taronga Zoo I do not want what happened today to happen again," added Sheila, her hands on her hips. "Just because you're ghosts, doesn't mean you should be treated like animals."
"Good to hear," replied Ember. "By the way, how long is the dipstick going to be in prison?"
Sheila gave off a grin. "Let's just say that it's going to be a very long time before he's eligible for parole."
Letting out a laugh, Ember savored that information.
"I'd also like to give you this, Mr. Fenton," said Sheila, handing the boy a card.
"What is it?" he questioned as he looked at it. His eyes widened when he saw what it was. "Wait, what?"
"It's an honorary Taronga Zoo employee card," explained Sheila with a smile. "When Bruno and I were following you around the zoo today, I was impressed with your knowledge on the local animals, so I was hoping that the next time you decide to visit if you'd be willing to act as a tour guide to the zoo's visitors."
Danielle let out a gasp before bouncing in excitement. "Does that mean we get to go to the zoo again?!"
The older Phantom placed a hand atop of the little one's head to stop her bouncing. "Well this was unexpected. I don't even know what to say."
Ember gave him a light punch to the shoulder as she smirked. "I say take it, Baby-Pop. Gives us even more reason to visit again in the future."
He just rolled his eyes before turning back to Sheila with a smile. "Thanks, Miss Sheila."
"You're welcome, Mr. Fenton."
It was soon time to leave and with one last goodbye to Sheila, the ghostly trio stepped onto the bus and headed off.
Where could they be heading to next? Only Ember knew for sure and she wasn't saying anything, much to Danny's chagrin.
SYDNEY END
-:-
I think this might be the longest chapter yet, which would explain why it took so long to get it posted. At least Danielle got her time in the spotlight with her fight with Bruno, which is one of the reasons why I was looking forward to writing out the Sydney chapters. The intermission chapter SHOULD be out tomorrow though.
Fun Fact: Much like how North America has the hoax animal known as a jackalope, Australia has a hoax animal known as a drop bear, which is a larger, more carnivorous version of the koala and would drop from trees onto unsuspecting people.
And we're finally back to the recaps. In the original MHA version, Bruno was still the main villain of the chapter, but he was a bounty hunter instead of a zookeeper. He was also going to have a Quirk that would have given him attributes of a kangaroo, with large feet, a tail, and long ears. He would have been after Izuku since he had found out about the bounty Shigaraki had placed on the boy's head.
