Danny Fenton: Season of Growth
By: DJ Rodriguez
(Author's Notes: Hey everyone! How are you all doing? I hope and pray that all of you are doing well!
Before I say or do anything else, I want to give honor and glory to the Lord. Thank you Jesus for being with me, and also for guiding & guarding me, my family and my friends. While things continue to change; some for the better, some for the worse, you are a constant that is a source of strength and comfort to me. I will continue to rely on you in everything, and also to guide me more away from the world's toxic influence. And I will look to you more God to help me with my stories, with things in my personal life & with myself. I will do my best to be a better soldier and servant to you Lord, as you will always come first!
Things have been a bit of a roller coaster ride for me these past months or so. So believe me, I am thankful to God for being there for me and family. And I am not ashamed at all to say that Jesus is my Savior, and that it is He who I want to give all the credit to for my works here! It is He that has also given me inspiration for some future designs for this story, for the characters and more! So everyone, please give proper props to Jesus Christ!
Also, will be focusing on this and also my Star Vs. story Marco at a Crossroads story series as well. I plan to promote much growth and development into the characters, plot and story as best I can. To surpass certain stories, and also to showcase to all that my works are better than the ones made by certain executive creators of certain cartoon series.
I have been talking with my friend Author Dreams Come True 996 for some time, and we both agree that the cartoons/tv shows/movies of the past have more substance/truth/charm/special essence in them than the current ones of today. And we are determined to bring back common sense, dignity, honor and truth back in story writing!
I also hope still for this… that my works, especially my Disney/Toho works & specials, can become something more than just fanfiction.
Also, I would like to advertise for my new friend and fellow Author CMR Rosa. He had made some very interesting and moving fanfiction stories that tackle some real issues. The stories originally were on YouTube, but they got deleted and moved elsewhere. He can tell you where to find them in his works such as My Stepmother from Thailand has a Surprise, School Rumors are Dangerous & From Ugly Duckling to Alluring Swan Sitch. These stories are really good, so please read and review.
I also discovered something interesting. For some time, been watching what one calls Death Battles that is featured in the YouTube Channel DEATH BATTLE. And have seen that many characters from Marvel and DC are extremely powered up, and have information on characters that really blew me away as I never even knew of it! But… it also made me realize that more characters nowadays are having godlike powers, and sadly that things like demons/devils/Satan/Hell are being more promoted and the like.
Makes me glad that I never fully bought into the series, and also never will. It has also increased my determination to make my stories showcase what was once apparent in old-school anime like Dragonball, where skill, technique, development and growth are the focus instead of just powering up and changing. There will be that in my stories yes, but not the end all/be all like it is shown nowadays.
While my works will take time to finish due to needing to finish certain stories I had promised to do for other Authors here, I believe that it will be worth it as again I wish to promote growth and development for ALL the characters, for the overall story & also to leave something for others to follow up on at the very end.
I will also continue to pray and hope that the countries all over the world, especially the U.S., are freed from this New Normal/WOKE movement that is truly killing the people and more. And that people leave certain groups/communities before it is too late for them.
I will continue to hope and pray the best for the country I live in. I will continue to hope and pray that the people remember the many fine lines that used to be visible in the past. The small, subtle differences that are quite significant & make the entire difference between what is right & wrong. And that certain barriers/boundaries/limits were set up in the first place for a very good reason.
No slash/femme-slash actions or pairings. There will also be no trans, gender-free, binary/non-binary, gender-neutral characters or notions in this series, nor in any of my other stories. This I am DEADLY serious about! See my Profile here to see & know exactly where I stand.
To see fanart of the series here, check out the DeviantArt account of Dreams that is known as MarieAngel04. Her works are incredible, and deserve much recognition!
I wish to do this for my Tia Pamela Espurova-Allen, and will keep doing it until some solid news comes in. She is working with police and other official groups to locate and bring home a missing girl that is part of a family she works with & has befriended.
Her name is Lina Khil, a little girl that was taken on December 20th, 2021. The search is still on for her, but so far… no luck.
Her information is this: She was four years old when she was abducted; hair brown, eyes brown, race Afghan, weight 55 lbs. & height 4'0. If any can help to locate and find her, please do so and notify the proper authorities. Hoping and praying still that she is found alive & returned to her family. They have put up a special about her on TV thanks to the San Antonio Police Department. Any information you wish to seek about her you can search for online, and hopefully it will help to find her and bring her back home safely.

In the words of Winston Churchill- You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life. I will not kowtow or submit myself to others who feel offended at such in what I believe in, and make a big fuss or drama over it that causes unnecessary/unwanted trouble because of them being oversensitive and such.
I cannot please everyone, nor do I ever want to. In the words of my pastor Rick Godwin from my church Summit Christian Center at San Antonio, it is this- Those who seek to please everyone lose only themselves, who they are and displease their own beings. Okay, not an exact quote since my memory is not the best but you get the idea I hope.
I am making stories for people to enjoy them, not to please every single being. I have my own ideas, standards, thoughts, theories and so on. If people do not like my stories, it is okay. I cannot please all, and will not lower or compromise myself to please all either. Goes the same in real life too.
Any OC names that appear on here, I got from the website known as 20000-NAMES, which show various boy and girl names from different nations and ethnicities. Each name has a meaning, if you wish to see what it. Also, the Destroian Empire and the Destroian OC's belong to LORD DESTYRUK. Certain family members of theirs are from my fourth Disney/Toho novel Monsters and Magic Special: Sofia's Imagination.
When Danny and the ladies arrive, it is at the very early stages of the Piccolo Jr. Saga, at the exact moment when Shen Long was revived and granted the wish of bringing those that were killed by Demon King Piccolo and his minions back to life. And with a three-year gap before the next tournament, it would give Danny and his date's ample time to explore the new reality/world they are in & to collect the Dragon Balls.
Danny Phantom is a cartoon series that was created by Butch Hartman, developed by Steve Marmel. The series aired on April 2004, the network that released it was Nickelodeon. The production companies were Billionford Inc. and Nickelodeon Animation Studios, with the distributors being Viacom International Inc. and Nelvana. Look for my Danny Phantom series and specials when getting the chance, if you please. This takes place after the episode De-Stabilized, but before Phantom Planet. And also, said last episode will NOT be featured here.
DragonBall is a manga/anime series that was written by Akira Toriyama, published by Shueisha Inc. with North America published by Viz Media. The manga was created in December 1984, ending in June 1995 with forty-two volumes. The anime was directed by Minoru Okazaki & Daisuke Nisho, produced by Tokizō Tsuchiya/Kenji Shimizu/Jun'ichi Ishikawa. Studio was Toei Animation, licensed by Funimation Entertainment for North America. Original network that broadcasted it was Fuji TV, with multiple English networks such as Cartoon Network Toonami and Funimation Channel. It ran from February 1986 to April 1989.
If you wish, use your imagination and put in any kind of song/music intro from any anime series with the Intro and Outro here. And also, so no one is confused, this is DragonBall & not DragonBall Z. And also, not going to follow the Dragonball Super anime or manga series in any way. And not going to follow the current, too-many reboot/remake arcs to name that have been cropping up recently.
Different intro and outro will appear in the next book of the series. To see full intro and outro, look to the very first chapter in this story.
Now, on with the chapter!)
{{Intro, look to very first chapter for it}}
Time and Work Schedules
Master Roshi faced the ladies he had called in to talk; Inukami Dezato, Yume Tenshi, Angelica Pickles, Gwen Honorine, Jenny Wakeman, Bulma Briefs and Emma Mackenzie. After some moments, he spoke to the ladies, "Now then, there are some serious matters I need to discuss with all of you. But first thing's first, need to talk about the schedule for my students to Tenshi-sensei here.".
The lovely magical teacher looked to him and inquired in a curious tone, "Yes, what is it Roshi-sensei?".
The 300-plus year old hermit answered, "Well, my training involves more than what goes in a normal dojo or gym, Yume-chan. How about if I explain on how I trained my students Goku, Krillin and Yamcha?". The magical schoolteacher frowned a bit when Master Roshi called her by that suffix, but did not comment on it as she simply nodded her head in response to his question.
It took some time, but Master Roshi managed to explain his training methods to the two newcomers to the former RR headquarters base. Needless to say, Inukami was very much stunned to learn of the old hermit's training methods & it showed on her face. Yume tried to look surprise, showcasing her abilities as an actress. She had already known of Master Roshi's training methods, but since this was the first time meeting in the flesh and blood for the both of them, she needed to act surprised.
Once he finished his explanation, he looked to them and inquired, "Well ladies, that is how I trained my students. What do you think?".
It was Dezato-san that answered with a tone that was in awe & of surprise, "Wow… just… wow! I got to say Turtle Man, you make the training that most military people do look like a cakewalk! Not to mention original and effective!". Master Roshi sweatdropped at the nickname that the anthro female wolf had given to him. He had been called many things in the past by others, but this was a new one on him.
Yume added in, "I have to agree with her on this one, Roshi-sensei. While your training is VERY unorthodox and quite hazard to one's health, it does seem to show results if one sticks to your methods. And also that your methods tends to help others. ".
It was true. Yume had been able to see that the Turtle Hermit's program involved aiding others, and while some may believe it was extreme for the body, the results more than proved its worth.
Master Roshi smiled and replied, "Heh, thank you ladies. And now you know what my training entails. And while my training is going to be different since we are in a new location, and also more students than I am used to, the core principle is the same. Now then, we need to come up with a schedule for Gwen Ten-chan. So, any ideas?".
Tenshi-sensei looked to be in deep thought that lasted for several moments, than something came to her. She looked to the elderly master of martial arts and suggested, "How about this? You can have Gwen Ten on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I can have her Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. We'll let her choose on what to do on Sunday.".
The master of the Turtle School thought on this like Yume did earlier, and soon nodded his head. He answered in a positive tone, "That is more than reasonable. I agree to your idea Tenshi-sensei!'. This made the teacher smile as now something concrete was agreed upon.
Bulma cut in with a question of her own, "Hold on a moment! Tenshi-sensei, can you really work a schedule for your new students that quickly?". From her experience in high school, teachers needed some time to make a suitable curriculum for their pupils, and normally it would take weeks. And in certain cases, months or years!
Yume turned to the beautiful blue-haired genius/inventor and answered with a confident smile, "Indeed I can Bulma-san. All I need is a suitable room to teach in, and since I have some information on my new pupils, I use that.".
Dezato added in with the same confidence as her friend/adopted sister, "Believe me, she can! Yume can take any kind of information, even if it's just a scrap, and use it in a way that surprises her students and co-workers!".
Jenny put forth, "I'm sure that you will find a place to teach here after Danny gives you a tour of the place. This former Army base has it all! I mean, granted we have only explored about forty-five percent of the grounds, but we believe that it has everything that one needs!".
It was true. While they had explored much of the base inside and out, there were still some buildings that they have not checked out yet on account they had to take care of the prime necessities first. But Jenny did believe that this place had everything they all needed, especially for teaching. Yume nodded, showing that she believed in the robot girl's words.
Gwen Honorine than inquired, "While this is very informative and all, I still would like to know why me, Angelica and Emma were called in?".
Emma added in with genuine curiosity in her tone, "Yeah! I mean, what can we offer here in all of this?".
Master Roshi looked to the three young ladies and answered, "Well, it's your skills that I need. And also Dezato-san's skills as well.". This got the mentioned ladies puzzled, and if it was an anime series, one could see large blue question marks forming above their heads.
The bald elderly man started to explain, "Well girls, if you remember in my explanation, at some point Danny and the others training under me would be wearing large turtle shells for their training. But… well, sad to say, all of my other turtle shells are back home and not nearly enough for everyone. So this did present a problem…". Indeed, the ladies from another universe did remember Master Roshi's story on how he had Goku, Krillin and later Yamcha wearing heavy turtle shells on their backs that was part of the training. And Yume and Inukami just now.
His tone turned from slightly down to hopeful as he continued, "But when I heard about Inukami-san say that she specialized in awakening certain magical properties in stones, and that she is considered a Gem Mistress, I believe that she and you three can solve that little problem!".
The master of the Turtle-style looked to Angelica and inquired, "I remember seeing in the ID you made at Bulma's home, and that you consider yourself a Fashion Empress. Do you really have experience with designing clothes?".
Miss Pickles looked to be a bit offended at the question and proclaimed, "You bet I do! Some may consider me an amateur, but I have excellent taste in clothes & how to make them!". When it came to her field of expertise, she went in with confidence and strength!
This seemed to please Master Roshi, who looked to Gwen Honorine and asked, "And you Honorine-chan, your ID nickname stated you were an Artistic Supreme, meaning you were an exceptional artist. Is that true?".
She looked a bit nervous as she answered, "Well… I can do sketches and such. But I really…".
Emma cut in with positive confidence in her tone, "But Gwen, those sketches are cool! And so are the other drawings you made! Remember when you showed it to all of us?". Miss Honorine blushed from the praise, as while drawing was her passion yes, she was not completely confident in her abilities as an excellent drawer. She still needed to discover that in herself.
Bulma added in with the same energy as Emma, "Yeah Gwen! The pictures you drew of Shenron and the others wearing the uniforms of the Turtle School was awesome!".
Master Roshi exclaimed in surprise, "Wait! You already drew uniforms for Danny and the others? Well then, that is perfect! This actually what I wanted to ask you to do!".
Miss Honorine looked to him in moderate surprise and inquired, "You do? But why? And how does this tie in with Inukami and Angelica?".
He answered her as best he could, "Well, I was thinking of this. Inukami can put certain stones in the fabrics of the clothes, and maybe on the shoes as well. And if she can, she can use her magic to make them weighted!".
This got the ladies attention good as they exclaimed at the same time in surprise, "Weighted clothing?!".
Master Roshi nodded and continued, "Yup! I figured if people can wear clothing that are weights, like wristbands and leg warmers, why not use it like in normal clothing? Besides, that would be a considerable good substitute for the lack of training shells.".
He then looked to the anthro wolf woman and inquired, "So, do you think it's possible?".
Inukami looked at the elderly man in surprise, then was in deep thought for a few moments. She answered in a mild serious tone, "Well, I can do that. I mean, I can enchant the tones to act together to make the whole article of clothing to be weighted. And I can add in features like making the weights adjustable. But… well, to do that I would need gemstones that is required to make the clothes weighted. And also a large supply of it, which I doubt exists here in a paramilitary Army base. Especially one that came from the Red Ribbon Army.".
Emma smiled and stated with vigor in her tone, "Then your worries are over! We have gemstones and more in one of the buildings!". She then explained on how they went to one of the tall buildings that had a green domed roof on it, and that it had a lot of things within it. And that on the 3rd floor of said building was the Material Room, and that it had large calenders that had various clothing, metallic and even gemstone material in it.
Upon hearing this information, Dezato-san had a look of mild surprise on her face. She spoke her thoughts out, "This base had something like that? Well… when one thinks about it, it makes sense as they most likely used it to make the uniforms and such.".
The female anthro wolf looked to Master Roshi and stated with a tone of eagerness, "Alright then! If this place has the materials I'll need, I'll get right to work!". Yume smiled at this, seeing the passionate fire burning bright in her adopted big sister's eyes. Inukami loved to work, preferring to be active rather than staying still. Oh, she liked to relax once in a while yes, but when it came to doing things that she loved to do… look out!
This got the others to be surprised at the actions of Dezato-san, though some could understand where she was coming from. Angelica was passionate when it came to fashion, Gwen Honorine when it came to art & also Bulma when it came to anything electrical/mechanical.
Master Roshi smiled, nodded his head and stated, "Okay then! After Danny gives you a tour of the place, he'll take you to where you need to be. Do you require anything else?".
Inukami answered, "Yup! I need to get the measurements of your students, and also I need to learn more about them!". When asked by Emma on what she meant by that, Inukami answered that she needed to know more about Danny and the others, such as their likes/dislikes/personalities/etc. She explained that it was essential to making the clothes & also adding in the necessary gemstones needed for each one.
Emma looked satisfied with this, then looked to be in thought and asked, "Master Roshi, I have a question.".
He looked to her and answered, "Yes Emma-chan?".
She then asked once more, "I know that you need Jenny and Bulma's help with whatever you have planned. And you need Angelica and Gwen to help Inukami. But… why am I here? I mean, what can I do?".
The elderly master of martial arts smiled and answered in a kind tone, "I believe that you can help Dezato here in making the clothes. You may be a girl that loves to surf, according to your ID, but I believe you got some fashion sense that can be of help to them.".
Master Roshi continued, "I know that you, Honorine-chan, Angelica, Kara, Jen, Phantasma, Vicky, Ginger and Spectra may not be involved with big projects like the others. But I believe that you can find something that will keep you busy. Perhaps even discover things about yourselves that will help you to grow, just like that DJ Rodriguez character that brought you all here. He did say that ALL of you have untapped potential and promise, so maybe you can find it here along with your purpose.".
This did make Emma think now, a look of deep thought showing on her face as she closed her eyes to think a little more clearly. She said to herself, 'Untapped potential and promise? I do remember Danny saying those words when he was reading off that letter from the scroll shortly after we all came here. Do I really have that kind of thing?'.
Most of her life, Emma, been an average girl at best. Sure, she had a good disposition and loved to encourage others. But… she did not do well under pressure and also while she did like surfing very much, she was not good at it and constantly wiped out. Add to the hazing she was given by Kelly at the place she worked in Surfer's Paradise, and also messing up a lot at her workplace, she was wondering on what she could do. Yes, she was stronger than she looked and did take some judo lessons for self-defense… but that was it.
Now here she was; in a completely different universe with its own kind of rules by a being of incredible power, surrounded by various beings who were amazing and powerful in their own right, and seeing things that just had to be impossible yet it was all real! If someone could see her potential… then why couldn't she?
~Inside Emma's mind~
A soft, but clear voice came from inside her own mind. It was her conscience, one that she had often listened to in the past… but this time it was different. The voice was like her own, but sounding tempered and full of determination.
The conscience of Emma spoke to the young teen, "Emma, you should go for it! You should believe in them!".
The young woman opened her eyes to see that she was in a black space, looking about to see nothingness there. What she was in was her own mind, or just the forefront of it. And appearing before her was… herself! It was her conscience, a projecting of the good part of her soul… an agent from Heaven to help her choose the good path. She was transparent like a ghost, one could see through her.
The conscience spoke once more, "Emma, you have been given something that not everyone gets. And that is to make a fresh, clean start! You can now be whoever you want to be!".
Emma spoke with a voice that unsure about herself and the situation, "I don't know, I mean I…".
Her conscience cut her off, "Emma, look… back at our home, no one had high expectations of you. And you tended to just blend into the background. You tried your hardest, but you did not get anywhere at the hotel or with others.".
Suddenly, the dark space around her was filled with many mirrors that all showed her memories from her time at the hotel. She looked at the various things she did with her friends… but also saw that her conscience was right. She did try hard to fix mistakes she made, she did her best to surf, and also did her best when it came to love like her crush on Tyler. But no matter what, she seemed to always go back to square one. And she did not seem to make herself better in any aspects.
She started to feel down, but her conscience came to the rescue. She spoke softly like a mother would who wanted to comfort her child, "It is hard to view and accept yes. But Emma, look at the opportunity you have been presented with. Now you have the opportunity to become much more than you are now. It will take much hard work and effort… but I believe that you can become someone so much more than you are now. A different Emma. But who, that is up to you.".
Emma looked towards her conscience, who had a warm smile on her face. Then she looked to the mirrors… and to her surprise, she saw something different in them!
She saw various versions of herself; one that looked like a professional animal caretaker as she fed Nebula who looked to be enjoying her treat, another that looked to be a mechanic who stood proudly next to the mecha-suit that Vicky took for a spin some time ago, one that had a nurse's outfit carrying a jar that contained green substance of sort, one that looked like a professional stuntwoman riding on one of the airbikes that she had seen at West City, one that had a cool-looking outfit on that looked to be a mixture of rock and pop music star, one who had an outfit that was the same that Krillin and Yamcha wore as she did a martial arts pose… and there was one wearing her a version of the outfit that Danny Phantom wore, with said young hero by her side!
She blushed very much at seeing the image & said to herself, "W-W-What?! How did…?! I mean, why would this show?! I mean, Danny is very cute and noble but… I'm… I'm…".
Her conscience had a soft smile on, very much knowing the young woman even better than Emma knew herself. She knew that her real-reality self harbored a small crush on the boy, just innocent puppy love that was small and not noticeable now… but with the right interaction and nurturing, it would slowly but surely blossom into something deeper and stronger! IF it would tended to, of course.
She spoke once more, "YOU are still young, and have the potential to be any of these. The next steps are up to you, but I promise you this. You will be like that boy from one of your favorite movies- The Pagemaster. Do you remember what the Pagemaster said to Richard when he saw himself near the end?".
Miss Mackenzie did remember that movie well, as she had seen it many times as a little girl on VHS. On how the young boy had gone through many adventures, and soon at the end… saw himself. And the Pagemaster stating that it WAS him, indicating that Richard was indeed not the same one that had come into the world of books.
And her conscience was telling her this; that after everything was through, she would be a different Emma. But WHAT kind of Emma was all up to her own choices and decisions, and also the commitment to stick with said choices with courage and heart.
Emma turned to look at the agent from Heaven in the eyes, determination in her own and conviction in her tone as she spoke, "Well then… let's do it! And I'll be relying on you more to guide me through this uncharted territory!".
The conscience smiled, nodded and answered back in a gentle but firm tone, "That is good to hear, and of course I shall guide you as best I can.".
She soon disappeared, along with the mirrors. The world went all white, Emma having a smile on her face that was of courage and conviction.
~End of insight~
When Emma opened her eyes, she saw the curious faces of Master Roshi and the others. She looked to them until her gaze stopped on the bald fighter, the smile that was present on her face before she left her mind showing now physical in real-reality. Miss Mackenzie said to him, "Thanks Master Roshi. I need to hear that, and you are right. All of us were brought in for a reason, and… and I will do my best to find it! I'll work hard to realize my potential, but also to realize my purpose as well!".
This pleased the group as they all smiled, especially Master Roshi and Yume Tenshi. The two teachers had long learned this little fact; that while it was important to realize one's full potential, it was more important to realize one's PURPOSE. People tended to forget purpose, as they were focused on potential. So much more than they leave the other out, which led to dangerous traps. And so they had worked hard to instill that fact; that while reaching potential was good, above it was finding the purpose.
And coincidentally, Honorine-san and Pickles-san were also in their own minds as well at the same time Emma was. They too were wondering on why they were there as well. While they did have special talents and such, they were in the dark as much as Mackenzie-san was concerning on why they were here with others that had talent. While they did talk with their own consciences & also seeing mirrors that reflected possible outcomes, it was a bit shorter as the duo had more confidence than Emma did. While each was unique in the expression of self-confidence, nevertheless they had it more than Emma due to their attitudes/nature/upbringing.
But they all agreed with what Emma just declared. So all three were now in the same boat!
Master Roshi looked pleased and stated firmly, "Okay then, its settled! And now it's time to get to work! Jenny-chan, I need you and Bulma to help me get the fireworks we bought to the place where the missiles are at. From there, I'll explain everything else. Dezato-san, Yume-chan, I believe that you two are needed to go on a tour with Danny and the others.".
The two nodded their heads, then it was Inukami who looked to Emma and said, "And Emma, you and the others to get the girls that will be training with Master Roshi together. I need to get their measurements, and also I need to know about them.".
Emma nodded and inquired, "Yes ma'am! But what do you think I should ask them?".
The anthro wolf woman answered, "Ask them about their likes, dislikes, their accomplishments and also a bit about their personalities. Take detailed notes as it will be both useful and important.".
Angelica added in, "Also be sure to take notes of the girls measurements. Make sure to write it all down accurately!". The surfing girl nodded her head, saying that she would get one of her notebooks she bought at the stores in West City to take the notes down.
Yume smiled, feeling the excitement in the air. She believed that with the energy flowing through the group as is, things would get done swiftly but also accurately. She could even feel the energy coming from Jenny, and she was an android! She looked to a clock that was near the door, and it read 8:45 a.m., so they had been in here for some time.
The magical school teacher exclaimed with vigor and positive energy, "Okay then, let's get going!".
The group nodded their heads, going out the door with a mission to fulfill. They returned to the living room to see the others not there, but heard some commotion outside. They turned to look out the window to see Nebula hitting a ball with her head. All went outside to see three things:
Danny in his mortal form, Katie, Penny, Ginger and Daria were in a circle formation playing a game of volleyball with a large red ball with Nebula in the middle. Apparently, they were playing a modified version of Keep Away with a red ball that one of the girls bought. But instead of keeping it away from the baby dragon, they hit it to her volleyball style & Nebula sent it back via headbutt to any other that she chose to hit back to.
Another group was Cleo, Sabrina, Gwen and Diana talking to Chiaotzu and Tien. They were asking the duo about their unique abilities such as their psychic powers & their ki techniques.
And the rest were talking to Krillin and Yamcha, asking about Goku & what they were capable of. The two martial artists were loving the attention from the ladies, especially Krillin as the large smile and small blush on his face was apparent. Yamcha was appreciating the attention too, which made Bulma huff a little in jealous-anger.
Master Roshi called out, "Hey everyone! We're all done!". Everyone turned to him, the Turtle Master soon calling for the groups to come to him. So they did, Daria having the ball in her arm to put up later.
Penny asked, "Hey ya'll! So, you got everything straightened out?".
Yume nodded her head and answered, "Yes we did! There is still a lot to be done, so we need to get started. Danny, are you ready to take us on a tour of the complex?".
The young Fenton lad answered with a smile, "Sure! Also, Spectra and Phanty are going to be joining since they were with me when we explored the place.". Nebula went to her adopted father and squeaked loudly, saying that she was coming too. Danny grinned and rubbed her head, replying she was welcomed as well.
Spectra added in, "Granted, we do not know what is inside most of the buildings that are around here. Would you like to view them from the inside as well?". It was true as the grounds were quite vast, and even though some days had passed since they arrived, they had not fully checked all of the buildings.
Yume looked around the place, surveying the multiple tall buildings that dotted the area… until her eyes fell on a particular one. It was quite tall, slightly taller than the main manor one. It was quite wide and tall, a perfect circular building with a red domed roof with a tall spire on top. It had about seven floors judging from the way the windows were aligned & spaced as it rose up. And at the very last level, which was underneath the domed roof, was a circular walkway with windows as well.
She pointed to said building and stated, "I would like to see the inside of that particular building. I believe that one speaks out to me, and I would like to see the inside of it during the tour please.". Danny nodded his head, saying that it would not be a problem.
Master Roshi than pointed to Emma with his staff and declared, "Also, I would like my pupils to go to Emma-chan, Gwen-chan and Angelica-chan! They need to get some info from you that is actually very vital. And Danny, you can join them after you have given your tour.".
The new students of the Turtle Master had quizzical looks on their faces, but they soon nodded their heads in compliance with the instructions. Angelica put forth, "I believe it's best to do this in the Dressing Hall in the manor.". The ladies had found a place that was used for changing, a room totally dedicated to clothes and viewing. It seemed that Commander Red was fond of admiring his very expensive wear in his abode, the room having some clothes that were of exquisite style & taste. Plus very expensive, according to Bulma.
She proposed a plan to sell them back to some people she knew that would very much have such expensive wear. It was accepted, and a majority of the clothes were put into storage boxes that could be shrunk into Capsules. However, Krillin did insist on keeping some that seemed to catch his eye. They were a little big on him, but he believed he would grow into them soon. He would like to wear something that called for being formal, and despite the madman that Commander Red was… he did have good taste in clothes.
So now it was converted to a Dressing Hall, where they would design their own clothes & also model them to see how they looked & modify them if it was called for. The place already had the necessary tools needed for properly measuring a person, such as measuring tape.
Angelica then looked to the ladies and exclaimed, "Okay everyone, follow me! Emma, you go and get that notebook of yours! Gwen, go get that sketchbook that has the pictures of the others in the uniforms!". The two young women nodded and went inside quickly to do what Angelica had requested. When they were gone, Miss Pickles walked with confidence and purpose inside with the others following her.
Master Roshi looked to the remained of the group and stated, "You all are free to do whatever is you wish to do. Me, Jenny and Bulma are going to get to work on something that is for the training.".
Yamcha spoke up, "Mind if I help Master Roshi? I like to be productive today, especially now that I am back at one-hundred percent better!". Krillin, Tien and Chiaotzu also offered their services as well.
Bulma looked to the Turtle Hermit and stated, "I think we might need them Master Roshi. Their strength and other abilities could come in handy.". He nodded with her in agreement with her, and so the martial artists were now to assist with the help.
The elderly master of martial arts looked to the remaining women and asked, "So, what will you all do while we work?".
Debbie answered him, "Me, Daria and Felicia are going to check over on Jewel Sapphire. There is still a lot to do concerning her. And according to what Felicia told us yesterday, we need to be very precise when it comes to her physiology & biology so that it will mesh well with the robot parts that are going to be installed in her body.".
The famous catburgler of New York City added in, "If we do this right with her, she can still age like a human does albeit slower than normal. And also have children should she wish for it.". Master Roshi nodded his head in acceptance to that, mentally hoping that indeed the poor girl would come back as an android but having all of the biological capabilities of humans.
Ginger put forth, "I think I'll go read up on the geography of the world. I would like to see how this planet is different from our own.". Jen and Diana said they would join her, as they too were curious on how different this Earth was to their own.
Kara stated, "I believe that me and Vicky need to go and repair more of the surrounding areas. Come on Miss Aidith.". She then walked from the area, dragging a confused Vicky along with her to the shed that held the repairing tools. While the ladies have done a good job repairing the manor and some of the buildings over the past few days, there were still some places that needed some work. Minor stuff compared to the major damage they had to repair from, but it still needed to be looked at. It did give them something to do while waiting for Master Roshi to return.
Normally, Vicky would have put up major fuss and fight. But now after learning that Kara was the famous Supergirl, related to Superman on many levels & also having the same capabilities as said hero… well, now Vicky did not want to push her luck with her. Sure, she had pushed it multiple times against certain adults who were easy to intimidate with her anger & fear tactics. But now she saw it was not going to cut it here, and when one has Supergirl as a sort of parole officer… one does not want to test the patience of someone that can easily destroy a brick wall with a single hit.
Sabrina spoke, "Me and the girls are going to talk about some things while out here. In the meantime, good luck with what you are doing with the others.".
Master Roshi thanked them, and the rest went off to talk while enjoying the pleasant day. He saw them off before going with Jenny and Bulma to where they needed to go.
In the meantime, Danny showed Yume and Dezato the grounds of the former RR base. He, Spectra and Phantasma made colorful commentary as they walked through the tall buildings, making Yume giggle & Inukami to chuckle softly. Nebula walked between the newcomers, trying to imitate their walking which highly amused the duo.
Yume then looked more closely at the dragon, looking at her horns and other features. When they reached the tall white building with a green-colored domed roof on top of it, Danny stating that it was called the Multi-Plex Building due to the various rooms that housed the different kinds work areas, Tenshi-sensei exclaimed, "Oh wow! Danny, you really hit the jackpot here!".
This startled Danny and the others, especially Nebula who squeaked in fright from the sudden sound & hid behind Spectra. Tenshi looked at her, realizing what she had done and put on an apologetic face on while saying in a tone that conveyed said emotion on face, "Oh! I'm sorry Nebula. I didn't mean to scare you.". Her words were genuine, and Nebula sensed it as she slowly came out from behind the Monster High student.
Danny looked at Yume with a perplexed look on his face and asked, "Miss Tenshi, what was that about? And what do you mean by I hit the jackpot?".
The magical school teacher looked back to him and answered, "Well, I was thinking that Nebula here looked familiar. And after looking her over, realization soon hit me! I know what she is!".
She reached down into her right pocket and fished out a small dark blue handbag, identical to the one used by the character Merlin from the 1963 Disney animated movie The Sword in the Stone. Yume then gathered a small amount of magic in her right hand, which sent a slight electric tingling sensation through Danny that was unusual but not unpleasant. It was faint but visible, a light blue aura that covered her hand.
The magical being snapped her fingers with said magical-covered hand, and the bag suddenly enlarged to become normal-sized! This surprised the others minus Dezato, Nebula backing up a little but not afraid. Tenshi-sensei then opened it, reached down within it and pulled forth what she was looking for.
It was a large tome book that was almost the size of the Great Book of Gummi, a book featured in the 1985 Disney TV series Adventures of the Gummi Bears. It had a white hardcover with a black dragon's head insignia on the front, one that looked similar to Shenron. There were bold golden words above it which read- CODEX OF DRAGONS, and below the image were the words in golden but in a slightly smaller font- By Kearitona Sjachraelgil & below it were the words Illustrations by Angela Sjachraelgil (Kearitona's Mother).
Phantasma cackled loudly in delight and exclaimed, "Hahahahahaha! That was so cool! Has some flash and pizazz than what Miss Grimwood does! What is it by the way?".
Yume looked to her with a smile and answered, "It's one of the many books I brought with me. It's a book that covers any and all dragons, personally reached and written by Kearitona Sjachraelgil, the headmistress of Kearitona Magic University. And it's in here that will show what Nebula is.".
She used her magic to levitate the book, which floated in place and opened the book. She flipped through the pages, the others converging to get a better look at what was shown there. Yume said softly, "Hmmm… where is it? I think… ah ha! Got it!".
The young woman stopped on a certain page that showed a full body picture of a dragon. It had brilliant yellow scales with a cream-colored underbelly, slim like an Oriental dragon. However, it was not as long & stood up on two legs rather than on four. It was not hunched up, showing that while slim the lower parts were a bit thicker with stronger muscles. And the front claws looked to be able to grasp like a human hand could. The head of the dragon looked exactly like Nebula's, only with shorter horns on the top.
Yume stated like a teacher giving a lecture, "Ahem… this is a very rare kind of species that one can consider themselves lucky to view. It is an Interdimensional Dragon, Platinum-ranked which is the highest mark magical beasts have due to not just their power and abilities, but their rarity to even find.".
She turned the page, reading off the info that was written down:
Interdimensional Dragons
Type: Regular & Royal
Size: Males- 80 meters in height (262 feet), 108 meters long (354 feet, tail included). Females- 100 meters in height (328 feet), 140 meters (459 feet, tail included). It takes about 1,000 years for the dragons to reach full height and length.
Life Span: 50,000 human years max.
Diet: Omnivore (though some are picky eaters)
Characteristics:
There are two types of dragons of these species; Regular-types have short horns on top and come in a variety of colors. Royal-types have longer horns on the top of the skull, and are colored differently. Female Royal-types are said to be colored like that of outer space; deep blue colored scales on the back, wings that are dark-blue with white spots on them that resemble stars & eyes that are pure white. Not blank eyes like some would assume, but white-pupil eyes. Male Royal-types are platinum scaled, the inside of the wings are golden and their eyes are violet.
Interdimensional Dragons are normally nomad creatures, living in what is dubbed the Void Space, which is the space BETWEEN dimensions. They only emerge into other dimensions/worlds/realms/universes in order to eat, mate and raise a family before going back into the Void Space.
When a male and female mate, it is for life. They go to a dimension of the father's choosing, and settle in a secluded area where they mate & the female lays a clutch from one to seven eggs in a nest. The eggs are incubated by both parents, each taking a turn to keep the eggs warm at a constant 700 degrees Fahrenheit. It takes about 2 months for the eggs to hatch. Once they hatch, the family stays in the dimension for about ten years until the hatchlings are all capable of leaving with their parents back into the Void Space.
Baby Interdimensional Dragons are considered hatchlings for ten years, in which the juvenile years are from that day until they reach the age of thirty which they are fully developed into maturity. It is then they can decide wither to stay with the clan, or break from it to start their own clan with their mate and hatchlings. Others can join in if they wish.
Parents can lock onto the very spirit essence of their hatchlings, which is useful for the first time they do take the plunge into the Void Space. Hatchlings often stumble into other dimensions on their first try, and their parents can find & bring them back so they can try again. It takes several tries before the hatchling manages to get a suitable grasp on interdimensional travel. However, a strong enough blow to the head could be enough to disrupt the link. Possibly also destroy it, though cannot be proven at this time.
Royal-types are considered to be very rare; a few showing every 500 years or so. They are different from Regular-types by the following characteristics and abilities they have.
First is that they are extremely intelligent, more on the level of humans and other similar sentient beings. Another is that they have a strong empathy, capable of forming bonds with others quickly. Once a Royal-type has bonded with someone or something, it is the same as finding a mate. It is for life. Nothing short of death can sever the bond, and if the one it bonded to dies, the dragon will be in a deep depression that can last from several weeks… to many years. Fortunately, the bond can be carried over to another if they share the blood of the first bonded. But the strength of said bond depends on the individual.
Another amazing ability is that the Royal-types can change form! To be more specific, their parts of their body that are not cream-colored change colors & gain different attributes. When they come in contact with certain elements, as a defense mechanism, they can absorb the element and thus change into different Forms.
For example, when one is hit with a fire attack from an enemy or touches fire, their scales change to that of crimson color. The wings gain a fiery aura, and their horns are enveloped in a protective covering of flames. They are now protected from fire attacks, and also use heat & flames to speed up healing processes on the outside and inside. They can also bathe in magma! However, they also become vulnerable to certain elements like water, ground, rock and anything that takes the oxygen from the air.
So far these are the known Forms that were seen and recorded: Fire, Water, Ice, Wind, Earth, Nature, Rock, Metal, Ghost, Light, Darkness, Electricity, Plasma and Magic. If any new forms are found, please notify proper magical authorities immediately so it can be recorded. When they take on a Form, they gain new abilities and powers. Such as if one somehow becomes a Ghost-Form, they can summon spirits, possess others & turn invisible by supernatural means.
Royal-types hatchlings discover this power when five years old, but they can only maintain one Form at a time & only for thirty minutes or until they run out of energy. Once they change back to their normal forms, they must wait a period of time before they can make the change. It varies; from an hour to twenty-four hours, depending on state of health of dragon.
If they are hit multiple times by different elements in rapid succession, it causes moderate to severe trauma on their bodies and minds. It can lead to unconsciousness… or even death. If unconscious, the dragon does recover… but the time of recovery of both body and mind depends, going from a few weeks to even years if it is serious enough.
Once the hatchling reaches ten years old, or gain enough experience, they can maintain a Form longer. Once it reaches twenty years old, or gain enough experience, they can change into Forms on their own without the need to absorbing an element! The longest known record of a Royal-type holding a Form is two weeks. They must change back to their regular forms, or else the Form could start to affect their biology and mind.
Royal-type hatchlings can travel between dimensions when they are five years old, while it takes a Regular-type about ten to make a first attempt. But again stated, interdimensional travel is dangerous so thus the parents have to keep an extra eye on the hatchling.
As she was reading the words from the tome, she turned the pages to continue reading at certain parts. That is when Danny and the others saw more pictures of the Interdimensional Dragon species, and visitors from another universe were impressed by said images of the mighty beasts. Yume put forth that all of the pictures in the tome were not photographs, but hand drawn by Kearitona's mother Angela. She explained that she had a quick but precise hand, and a strong memory that allowed her to draw each dragon in fine detail.
Mr. Fenton whistled, looked to Nebula and said in a tone of surprise, "Wow Nebula! So this is your species… I have to say, I am impressed!". The baby dragon smiled with pride, glad that her adopted father was pleased like so, demonstrating that indeed she was intelligent.
Phanty cackled like she usually did and exclaimed, "Hahahahahaha! I have to say, you are going to look lovely when you reach full size! I bet you'll be a hit at parties!". Danny gulped a little as she imagined Nebula in her full size… and oh boy, it would be like the Toho movies that he saw as a kid that features the giant monsters. Only it would be real!
Spectra looked to Yume and inquired, "Excuse me Miss Tenshi, but is it possible to see what age our little dragon friend here is?".
The magical girl closed the book, shrinking it back down and putting it back in her travel bag, which she shrank and put back in her pocket. She snapped her fingers and appearing in her right hand was a staff! It was made out of Polish larch, a form of European larch that could be found in the highlands of central Poland. It was about four feet-five inches tall, smooth and polished with a large blue diamond that was fastened on top of it! It was securely fastened to the top of the staff, the size of a softball and polished so that it was very bright in the light.
Yume pointed the staff at Nebula, who was surprised and scooted over to Danny for protection. The diamond glowed, and in small flash of light, a single blue-white number digit appeared that showed the number 5. Tenshi-sensei spoke as she ceased the spell, "According to my readings, she is merely five years old. She is still a hatchling.".
This did surprise the group, Dezato than posing the question, "Then… where are her parents? Surely they would have found the kid by now.".
Her friend thought for a moment, than suggested, "Well… it's just a theory mind you, but I think little Nebula here perhaps had used her interdimensional power on accident. She must have hit her head when she landed here, and according to the book, a good enough blow could disrupt the link. Something else could be a factor on the parents' side, but that is just speculation. Until something solid comes up, that's the best theory we have concerning Nebula's parents not finding her.".
Danny petted Nebula's head, the baby dragon cooing and licking his face. He smiled and chuckled, than something seem to hit him as his face looked a bit pensive. He then spoke out, "You know… it almost sounds similar to the story Master Roshi told us some time ago. You know, on how his first student Son Gohan found Goku.".
This had the two spectral spirits think, and soon they too had realizations on their faces. Seeing the quizzical looks on Inukami and Yume, Danny explained to them on what the Turtle Hermit told them concerning Goku. Such as how he was found by Son Gohan, and how he Goku had changed from a wild child to a good boy after falling down & being conked on the head hard.
Dezato-san knew of Goku, as she is a fan of sports & at the top was the martial arts. She seen on television Goku's match when he first started out, and she was amazed that a small child had participated in THE toughest competitions on the planet. And her amazement increased when she saw him rise all the wall to the top! The feed was cut when Goku changed into a Great Ape, but it was restored once he had changed back into a human.
The anthro wolf had been stunned to see such a transformation, and was wondering on what Goku was as she had never heard of a human with a monkey tail. Sure, she had seen anthro gorillas and the like, but not anything like the small martial artist. She was a bit disappointed when Goku lost, but had much respect for him as he made it that far in such a prestigious and tough tournament.
Her respect increased when she managed to hear from some reliable sources that a young boy had managed to decimate the Red Ribbon Army single-handedly, and that the description matched that of the one who won 2nd place at the tournament! This impressed her very much, and now she sees that it is true since she was in the main HQ of the whole paramilitary army that she once had the displeasure of meeting.
Inukami also managed to see the fight between Goku and Tien some time ago, and was impressed on the prowess of both him and the three-eyed martial artist. Then the incident with King Piccolo occurred when he announced himself on public television, the anthro wolf digging herself in one of her safe houses and preparing for the worst. She soon managed to breathe a sigh of relief when it was announced by King Furry that the demon king was no more… defeated by Goku of all people!
Dezato made a mental note to ask the others about the whereabouts of Goku later on. She wanted to meet this amazing lad that seemed to be able to pull off the impossible.
Yume looked to Danny and said, "Hmmm… quite interesting. I would like to ask you and the others more on certain things Danny. But for now, I believe you still have a tour to give us.". She said the last part with warmth, a smile and a giggle at the end. The halfa blushed and realized that indeed, he still needed to give them the tour.
So he brought them inside the Multi-Plex Building, showing them the Ground-Floor which was the Covert Operations Room. Upon seeing it, Inukami's eyes widened as she beheld the place that looked to be a fashion model's dream set. Danny explained, "The girls and I cleaned this, and the others floors up as best we could. Gwen and Angelica want to use this room as a place to get their artistic creativity off the ground.".
Spectra looked to Inukami, smirking at seeing the look of awe on her face and inquired in a light tine, "I believe that you will make full use of this place, right Miss Dezato?". Said wolf girl nodded her head, remarking that she was going to take full advantage of this particular level.
The group explored the room thoroughly before Danny guided them to the elevators. He looked to Yume and Inukami and said, "You two will have to go first to the next floor. I'll come up the next one with Nebula. She kinda gets a bit skittish in an enclosed space, but she is calm when I am with her.". Spectra and Phanty just simply smiled and went upwards, phasing through the ceiling.
And this was how Danny conducted the tour of the building. Yume and Inukami were impressed by the other levels; the 1st level Art Studio Room, 2nd floor Schematics Room, 3rd floor Material Room, 4th floor the work-in-progress Sensational Studios & finally the last room which was the now newly cleaned out VIP Modeling Room.
Various things happened at each floor. Yume had almost geeked out at seeing the Art Studio Room, which had more space than the art room at the college she attended & also was more professional looking. Phantasma told her that the girls managed to replace the unusable stuff with new ones, and the school teacher was very much declaring that she would be using this particular room in the after-hours. Inukami grinned and told the others that she REALLY loved to paint, draw, sketch… anything that had to do with the visual arts.
The duo were mildly impressed with the Schematics Room, Dezato-san looking over the plans that the RR had been working on before vacating the premises when Goku invaded. She did see a notebook that was fairly new, opening it to see some notes and suggestions, apparently made by some of the girls for ideas. There was some suggestion by Kim, Penny, Jen, Felicia, Jenny, and even Danny! The young man admitted that he did have some ideas in creating something, and also that perhaps the various blueprints could be used to make something useful for the future.
Yume stated that there was no harm to that, as everything could serve a purpose. Inukami added as long as said purpose was to be helpful to the innocent and just, which Danny agreed to.
It was the Material Room that really got Inukami all excited about, the anthro wolf woman almost salivating at the sight of so many materials. Spectra informed her that the machines still worked, and also that the material was still usable. She checked the place out, and indeed she found a place that had numerous gemstones of various sizes there! Some would have to be cut and shaped, but there were still usable.
Nebula was confused at seeing the wolf girl go all crazy like, tilting her head in cute confusion. Yume smiled and told her that her friend was just excited in a good way at seeing what was there, which was enough for the dragon hatchling.
After finally being able to pry the normally stoic former soldier away from the room, Danny showed them the Sensational Studios. He informed the newcomers that it was formerly an ID Room, but Musa had deemed it the right place to change it to a new music studio. There was still some things to do, but it would be completely finished in a couple of days. Tenshi-sensei did admit that the new room looked good, and would like to try some of the instruments one day. But she did say that this room would be good to use in the future, given Musa's magical info.
At seeing the cleaned out last floor, Phantasma told the duo on what it was before it got cleaned out. Needless to say, Yume and Inukami had deadpan looks on their faces when they heard on what Commander Red had up in here. The magical school teacher muttered that if she had her way, she would have just obliterated the place with a potent blasting spell.
Danny stated that the room had potential, him and a majority of the ladies wanting this to be a place to just hang out and get together. He admitted that he would like to turn it into a video game area, but the idea was sadly vetoed. Yume giggled at that, while Inukami just shot him a smirk and shook her head.
Once they had completed the tour of the building, Danny took them to see the other areas such as the Target Range building & the Communications/Crematory one. Dezato-san stated that she was going to frequent the target range one as to keep her skills up in markswomanship, and also to see if she could help with the portable communications. The soldier within her told her that having good communications was first and foremost before even weapons and such, as communication between allies was essential for any and all things.
They continued onward, soon reaching the tall white domed building that was next to one of the smaller pink-domed ones. Going inside, the group saw that the Ground floor was cleared out. Spectra explained, "Some of the girls believed that this place is ideal to make a greenhouse area. Katie found some herbs while they were working outside to clean the place up, and apparently she is somewhat of an expert when it comes to plants. So they started to clean the place up, but they have yet to build a foundation for the greenhouse.".
Yume spoke up, "That is not a bad idea. Having a greenhouse for herbs is good, not to mention other foods that I believe we'll need. I believe this would be a great project for my students to work on!". She was already formulating some ideas to add to her lesson plans.
Danny stated with petting Nebula, "There are about three other floors above us, and we have checked that it's all soldier barracks. Ginger actually suggested changing them to be like miniature gardens, like raising potted flowers and fruit/vegetable plants in there. It has merit, but we don't have the items for it. We'll have to wait until we can go to West City and get the materials there.".
The magical school teacher nodded her head, looking at Danny and putting in, "Her ideas have possibilities, and if it can be done, it would enhance my magical classroom schedule.".
Phantasma looked at her quizzically and asked in a tone mirroring her emotion, "Enhance it? How?".
Tenshi-sensei smiled at her and answered, "Simple! I can bring in some seeds that are actually magical plants that have special properties and capabilities if tended to right!". The others were impressed by the statement, and Phanty inquired excitedly if she had any seeds that could pop out man-eating Venus Flytraps.
Fortunately for most, and unfortunately for Phantasma, Yume replied with a sweat drop on her head that she did not have any seeds like that. Oh, she knew where to find said plants & other flora that were quite dangerous to both mundane and magical beings… but she did not need to tell Phanty that.
When they left the building, they came to the place that got Yume's attention in the first place. The group went inside the building, Nebula letting out a soft coo of awe at seeing the inside that looked to be quite large. The Ground-floor was circular, with large desks of high quality black wood set up on the left and right areas. And on the tiled glazed floor was the insignia of the Red Ribbon Army. Despite the layer of dust that covered the place, everything looked to be in good condition.
Dezato put in, "Looks like this place had seen better days. Looks to be an office of sort.".
Nebula went towards the desk on the right, peering on it and behind it. She than saw a clipboard, sniffing it and sneezing cutely due to the dust that was on it. Once she was done, she took it in her mouth and went to Danny, giving her adopted father the item.
The halfa hero wiped the remaining dust that was stubborn off of it, thankful that the words were in English. He read them over and stated for all to hear, "It seems to be a clipboard for… I think it appears to be students. Or at least fresh soldiers as the names have the words Private in first.". He flipped the papers, showing to the ladies that it also showed names of others that were of higher rank that acted like professors.
After examining the clipboard and its contents from over Danny's shoulder, Inukami spoke up, "So this place was an academy of sort for the RR. Figures that they needed someplace to train the greenhorns as any kind of normal campus wouldn't do.".
The group pressed onward, going past the desks to the doors that were ahead, which thankfully were tall and wide enough for even Nebula to go through. They found themselves walking into a university-style classroom, where there were seats were arranged neatly & close together with a pull-out desktop that was on the left side of each chair. There was a total of 80 chairs; 40 on the left side, 40 on the right side. In front of them was a large projector screen, with a moderate-sized desk and chair put on the right side of the platform.
Danny commented in mild surprise, "Okay, now this is huge! I bet Jazz would find this cool.". He looked to see that some desks were still up in place, with some books and notepads still on them.
Spectra commented, "It looks like there was a session before Goku came in to attack the base.". She looked down to see some books flipped over with papers spilled all around them.
Yume looked around the place and stated, "Well, this place is like a classroom back when I was studying at Ronald's Sorcerer University. So this will do! Need to clean up a bit here and there, but it will do!". A smile was on her face, already her mind working overtime in seeing what she was going to work with.
Inukami walked onto the stage and towards the desk. She saw a computer screen, a thick notebook and some papers scattered about. She opened a cabinet doors that was underneath the computer screen, finding the console and a printer. The anthro wolf woman pushed the ON/OFF button, and the console whirled to life. She looked up to the group and exclaimed, "Well, we know this place still has power. And that certain stuff still works, but we'll need a computer expert to see if it is still usable or not.".
They all nodded, even Nebula though she did not get any of it. Danny then stated, "Well then, let us continue the tour of this place.". They left the room with Inukami jogging a little to catch up with them.
The small group soon discovered that the Ground-floor had three more classrooms like the one they just saw, and also a cafeteria that was used to serve the soldiers. The kitchens in the back smelled bad, and all knew that it would take a LOT of work to fix that one area up. They also discovered a distance from it a room called the Professor's Lounge, a place that was for the various ranked commanders that were assigned to teach the recruits. It was quite spacious & more finely decorated than the cafeteria, which showed that the ranked officers got better privileges/treatment than the students did.
On the 1st floor, they discovered that it was dedicated to science as many rooms held laboratories and equipment that looked very expensive and complicated. Some liquids were still in their containers, and while some were labeled, some of the containers had labels that were badly faded which made it next to impossible to decipher. Nebula sniffed one, and immediately pulled back with a crying squeak as the liquid made her uneasy. Inukami strongly recommended to leave them be until they could safely identify the liquids & if they needed to be disposed of.
Danny very much agreed with that as he calmed Nebula down, petting her head to soothe her.
The 2nd floor was a workout area, the rooms having various workout equipment such as weights, stationary bikes, gym mats for physical workout and more. A couple of rooms also had green boom-boxes with cassette player and AM/FM radio, something that was very retro back in Danny's world but it looked brand new right in front of him and the others!
Inukami checked both of them out, stating that they were still in good working condition but needed to be dusted & the batteries changed. And Phantasma phased through one of the closets nearby that held the equipment, coming forth and saying that she found a lot of cassette tapes in there. They would have to check them out later though.
The 3rd floor contained rooms that seemed to focus on weapon training, specifically for hand-to-hand, close-quarters combat. One room had practice swords made of wood or polypropylene, and the swords came in various types such as the katana, hook swords, kukri, bowie knife, machete, double-edged swords and more. Some rooms held more exotic weapons like sais, bo staff, nunchakus, tonfas, kunai, shurikens… even tomahawks!
Inukami stated in a serious tone, "This place should be off-limits to novices, and even then make sure that a real weapons master is present to make sure that no one gets hurt.". While she was a soldier that did handle weapons, she was not a real weapons master and knew that.
The 4th floor contained rooms that were meant for the ranked officers that taught the recruits, and it certainly looked better than the barrack rooms down below. Some had games set up in their rooms; dartboards, pool table, board games like shogi or chess… some even had their own mini-fridge units!
The final top 5th floor was a meeting place, one large room that was impressively decorated with much exquisite rich taste. However, the décor had many pictures and symbols of the RR… including a very tacky picture of Commander Red tall & his subordinate Officer Black small! The place would need a SERIOUS overhaul in replacing the décor. Danny and the others saw the papers on the table, looking through them to see that they were progress reports & final reports concerning some of the soldiers.
Phantasma looked at one, cackled loudly and exclaimed, "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, the reports are a riot! This one named Private Rokuro Susumu, he got an F in almost every category! Hahahahahaha! I wonder how even made it in here! Hahahaha!".
The group winced a bit from Phanty's overcackling sound, even Nebula as she flinched and rubbed the left side of her head where her ear hole would be. Danny thought, 'While I do know that everyone has a unique quirk and all… I think we need to do something about that cackle of hers…".
The lot went outside the door on the walkway that encircled the top floor area, getting a good look of the place. Spectra commented, "You know, this would give any soldier a good view of just about everything. True they would have to make a large round to see everything, but still…".
Danny then asked Yume and Inukami, "Well ladies, do you want to go back down the normal way… or take the Phantom Express down?". The two realized what Danny meant, Yume giggling while Inukami merely smirked at the halfa hero.
The duo stated at the same time, "Phantom Express please!". Danny smiled, changed into his Spirit-form, and gently took the two ladies by the waist. He held Tenshi-sensei on his right, Dezato-san on his left. He then leapt off the walkway, using his spirit power to float gently down to the ground. Nebula Spectra and Phantasma soon followed after them.
He let go of the ladies, Yume giggling and exclaiming in delight from the rush, "Whoo! That was fun! Thanks Danny!". He bowed playfully and answered that it was no trouble at all.
Inukami merely smirked and stated with some mirth in her tone, "Not bad kiddo. Not bad at all. Now how about we finish the tour by checking out the hangers?".
Danny nodded his head, and when the others came to his side, they all went to the hangers to complete the tour.
It was 9:45 a.m. when Danny managed to finish the tour with the newcomers. When he walked back to the manor, he saw the others all gathered there at the door. Master Roshi saw them, waving to them and exclaiming, "Hey Danny, everyone! Just in time! Come on over here!".
The five plus Nebula did a little jog to get to the group, wondering on what was up. When they got here, Master Roshi asked for Yume to come to him which she did. Inukami spotted Emma, the surfing girl going to her with a pleased look on her face. The anthro wolf woman inquired, "Emma-san, did you manage to get what I needed?".
She nodded her head, handing to Dezato-san a dark-pink notebook that had her name on it in black permanent ink. Emma replied, "I got it all! Their measurements, and their likes, dislikes, their accomplishments and their main personalities!". Mackenzie looked very pleased that she accomplished her mission like so, Inukami smiling and congratulating her on a job well done.
Master Roshi and Yume talked for some moments, then the Turtle Master called out, "Okay everyone! I believe it's time for me to tell all of you of my training schedule for Danny and the others.".
He cleared his throat and spoke again, "Well first off, we wake up at 4:30 a.m…". That got a groan from a majority of those that were his students, even Danny. They were warned that his methods were tough, but they believed they could handle it. All they were worried about was the time, hoping that he would change things up a bit by not waking them up at such an early hour. But it seems that their hopes got dashed like so.
The Turtle hermit continued on as he ignored the groans, "We zig-zag through the trees all the way to the end of the property, then once we leave the trees, we skip the entire way to Giran's village. There is where we will start the second leg of our training.".
Krillin and Yamcha let out gasps, the small bald warrior exclaiming, "Giran?! Are you saying you want to take them to that guy's village!?".
This got the others from surprised from the outburst, Kara inquiring, "I take it that this Giran is bad news?".
Yamcha looked to her and answered, "Yup. This guy is a serious trouble. He entered the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament, and managed to get all the way to the top eight. He is strong, intelligent and strategic. He almost managed to beat Goku in the round he faced him, but Goku managed to beat him when he broke through a special technique he used.".
This did surprise the others, Jen asking if there was a picture of him. Yume was about to do some magic so they could see Giran, Master Roshi held up his hand. He called out, "Hold on there! I believe they'll understand more when they do see him. So no sneak previews please, Yume-chan.". The magic teacher was a bit reluctant, but decided to trust the elderly man.
Nodding his head in thanks, Master Roshi continued onward, "Once we are done with helping Giran's village out, our next stop is the desert land that leads to Nam's village at a brisk walking pace.".
Tien was a bit surprised at the info and inquired, "Nam's village? Master Roshi, is he okay?". The elderly master nodded his head, stating that Nam was okay & also bared no grudge against him. This in turn relieved the three-eyed warrior, which had the group a bit puzzled until it was Yamcha that told them that Tien had really beat up Nam in the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament. But it seemed that Tien was now genuinely regretful for his actions, and glad that the fighter was okay.
Master Roshi pushed on, "Once we help Nam and his people out, we go eastward towards the grasslands. Once there, we will stop and do some studying & have lunch. After that, our next stop is the Gallimimus Breeding Ranch/Raising Ranch owned by Masao & Maiko Kunio. We're going to help them with their dinosaurs.". Now this really surprised the group, as now they were going to be interacting with dinosaurs!
The blue-haired beauty Launch then asked an important question, "Umm… Master Roshi? You have been telling them where they are going to go but… what are they going to do there?". When they heard this, the group quickly realized that she just made a good point. While the Turtle Hermit did tell them where they were going, he did not say on WHAT they were going to do there. One had to give Launch for being more intuitive then her action and nature painted her to be.
He smiled and answered, "I'll tell them when they get there, Launch-chan. For now, it's a surprise.". The answer did not do anything to make the new students be reassured now.
Master Roshi continued on, "Once we finish that, we're going to the Northern Mountains and start to go westward from there. We're going to ascend and go through the snowy forests and peaks there to get to our next destination.". Now the students were looking a bit worried as this was getting a bit extreme even for them.
The master of martial arts then pushed ahead, "Once we get to the forest, which is the Sacred Land of Korrin, we're going to meet up with an old friend of Goku's, which is Bora and his son Upa.". Now this got Danny and the others interested, wondering now on what these friends of Goku looked like.
The Turtle Hermit finished up, "And once we are done there, we head back home here. And that will be the end of the training for the day.". The students had looks of relief on their faces… missing the knowing smirks on the faces of Bulma, Jenny, Tien, Yamcha and Krillin. It seemed that they knew something, but decided to leave it be for now. A real surprise for the others when they came back from the trip.
He then looked to Danny and asked him to come forward. The young man did, soon standing before the martial arts master & the magical school teacher. He inquired, "Yes Master Roshi?".
Said master of the martial arts replied, "Danny, I would like to see your other form's capabilities and abilities. I want to see what you are capable of in your other form, and also to test some other theories I have about you.".
On the next episode of Danny Fenton: Season of Growth, Danny Phantom comes forth to show to all what he can do & his unique abilities. And it is after the demonstration that Master Roshi puts forth his own unique theory concerning the halfa hero, one that will really change his outlook on what he is! And also open up possibilities on certain abilities as well! And also, Yume and Inukami go right to work with their own plans as well! Stay tuned to see what happens next time!
Next Episode- Theories and Planning
{{Outro- See very first start of story}}
(Author's Notes: And… cut! That is it for this chapter! I hope you all liked this one!
Before I say or do anything else, I want to give honor and glory to the Lord. Thank you God once again for helping me with this story! I really had to go back and see what I needed to move on, but you helped me immensely in that area! God, it is you that has been helping me from the very beginning! Not only with this crossover, but with others as well including my Disney/Toho works! I thank you immensely for the wisdom, insight and courage that you have given me Jesus Christ! And that is why I am proud to say that all of this is due to you alone, and I thank you for that Lord!
It really took me some time to make this, looking back in the previous chapters from the first book and all. I really hope I got it all right, and I hope that a certain Author likes how I put her mother in like so. A little dedication to an excellent friend, and her mother who may be gone… but her spirit and creativity live strongly in her family, especially her daughter!
Also, for the height and size of the Interdimensional Dragon species, I took my cues from info from my all-time fave monster… Heisei-era Godzilla! I used the info of Godzilla from the 1989 Toho feature film Godzilla vs Biollante for the male dragons, and the info of Godzilla from the 1991 film Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah for the females. Heh, in real life nature, the female is larger than the males. Also, I hope you like the info I gave concerning this species which I believe just made entirely up on my own.
And on a serious note, I did mean what I said in where I wanted ALL the characters, minor and major, real growth and development. I remembered the words from my pastor Rick Godwin, and believe me, his sermons on Jesus Christ and life are seriously powerful, raw, straight-up and also having a dash of good humor that makes them worth listening to. I remembered the words he spoke, and will be using them here in my stories.
So Emma and the others will NOT be left out! They will find their potential, and also find their purpose as well. It will be slow yes, but natural and flowing. There will be bumps, confusing twists and turns, and also pain in many forms. But it is through those obstacles and the pain that they find the strength, wisdom, clarity and grit needed to really prosper and grow inside and out. And it will be the same for all concerning the slowly budding feelings they have for Danny; slow, each different but it will be there.
And also that the characters have something unique and different that will stand out from other stories that have been made, this I believe and will strive for!
And now for the questions! Ahem…
What did you think of the schedule for Gwen Tennyson since she will be training under two teachers? What would your suggestion be concerning her and the schedule?
What do you think of Emma's inward thoughts concerning herself? If you were inside her head with her & her conscience, what would you say to her?
If you were outside with the others while Master Roshi was discussing stuff with Yume and the chosen girls, what would you be doing?
What did you think of the Interdimensional Dragons? If you found one, what would you do?
If you wanted to, what would you suggest to turn the former VIP Modeling Room into?
For the future Greenhouse Building, what kind of greenhouse would you recommend to be the main part of the building on the Ground-floor? And what would your plans be for the rooms that were shown above?
At the RR School Building, what would your plans be for it? What would you do in any of the rooms shown in it?
After hearing Master Roshi's schedule, what would you be thinking? And what kind of advice would you give to Danny and the others that will be training with Master Roshi?
And finally this… if you were with Yume, what schedule would you recommend she make for her new magical pupils?
Optional Bonus Question: What would you do if an Interdimensional Dragon hatchling bonded with you?
