Chapter 4: Questions and Arrangements.
Let's move it along
Skies of Amity
After a couple hours, it was now 9:00 at night, Danny and Dani decided to take a quick flight/patrol, after which they decided that if nothing was going on, and if there was enough time, they could spend a little time at the park.
Fortunately, the town was mostly quiet with box ghost being the only one to leave the zone. And as such we now see the new father/daughter duo, on the swings. Currently they were on the swings, and Danny, was teaching Danielle how to swing.
"This is confusing, it sounds so simple yet it's so hard to do." Said Danielle, who was trying and failing, to get her swing to swing.
"I know, it gets annoying, but eventually you'll get the hang of it." Said Danny, who contrary to Danielle, was swinging quite nicely.
They decided to play a little bit more around the playground. Danny knew that Danielle looked too old to be playing at the slides and everything, after all she is biologically 12, but she does however have the mentality of the young child.
All goes well until one fateful moment.
Snap!
'Frick.'
Valerie's POV
I was flying around on my hover board, patrolling, all I got was box ghost, but before I could get him Danny and Dani, come in and pop him into a Fenton Thermos. Which brings another thing into my mind. 'What the hell, happened, Danielle, the sweet little girl, is now Phantom, that evil ghost's daughter!
I saw what happened in the news report today, along with my father, what happened, definetly scared me about what Phantom's capable of. The ferocity and brutality, he scared me, because even though he was angry he held back, and I wonder on what his true power could be.
Flashback
Me and my dad were watching a movie, one of those stupid funny ones that you're supposed to make fun of. It was going good, until it cut off to the news.
"I'm Lance Thunder, we interupt your regularly scheduled program, with this news bulletin, a small ghost girl with a strong resemblance to the town ghoul Danny Phantom has been sighted over the park, and is now facing off against the Guys in White and our very own resident ghost hunters the Fentons."
"Danielle!" 'Oh no, I just had to have my guns go through a software upgrade, Danielle's going to be in trouble
My dad was right next to me and I could tell you could tell he was glad that I was here. I saw Danielle get shot down, I couldn't look, "DADDY, HELP ME!" I heard hear and…wait, daddy? Who the hell is she talking about?
It was then that IT happened a roar of rage caused the both of us to get scared the both of us. I saw a black and white blur that hit the ground, them impact itself knocked down the agents and it was followed by green fire, and icicles! I had a feeling as to who it was, and my suspicions were confirmed when I the dust cleared…Phantom…my enemy.
But, honestly I was scared, his tone of voice sounded deadly, usually he's all witty, and makes jokes to his enemies…not this time. But his looks, it wasn't normal. I could see the fear in my dad's eyes too, but look at him, he had claws, pointed ears, his hair was like fire, had had freakin fangs!
But his eyes, they were red and green and looked on fire, it kinda reminds me of Ghost Rider, if Phantom, you know if Phantom was a flaming skeleton biker that punished the guilty. Fortunately I knew that Phantom cared about Danielle, but the brutality of when he dealt with the hunters, and the Fentons didn't last even a minute!
When it was over he grabbed Danielle and looked over her injuries, he then started saying something, I paid attention but the last part shocked me…"-STAY AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER!"
'Wait…WHAT?!'
End Flashback
I followed the two to the park, honestly it was kinda cute, Phantom playing with Danielle, I knew that even though she was almost a teen biologically, she was still a kid in mind and heart. I watched them a bit, but I still wanted to get answers, so I slowly started to creep up to them, I had a net launcher, I wasn't going to kill Phantom, I don't think Danielle would like that.
It was all going so well until…
Snap!
'Sh*t'
Fentons-Maddie
We were following the Fenton Ghost Tracker there were 3 then one dissapeared, the other two then went to the park and stayed there. I was honest hoping that we might be able to find Phantom and his daughter, I had a lot of questions. Me and Jack were sneaking around and when we got to the location, what I saw, I admit, made me smile, Phantom was playing in the park with his daughter, they looked like a true father and daughter, it makes me wonder whatever happened to the mother.
Jack
Maddie nudged me with her elbow and pointed at the scene at the park. It looked adorable, they acted a lot like me an Jazz used to when she was younger and before she went into that psychology phase. 'Ah, the good old days.' The both of us started sneaking, and without ghost weapons, we wanted to show peace. 'Like a ghost could be peaceful.' Since we did hunt his daughter.
We were so close…
Snap!
Of course I just had to step on a twig.
'Oh fudge.'
Neutral POV
Phantom spun around ectoblasts already in his hands, prepared to fight and protect Danielle if I need to.
"Who's there!" He called out slowly, the three hunters walked up slowly, hands above their heads, Valeries' gun on the ground. Phantom's fingers on his right hand split in two (picture the Vulcan hand thing, but it's pointed at people.) smaller ectoblasts pointed at the Fentons.
"Calm down Phantom, we just want to talk, look we have no weapons, and Red Huntress hear has dropped hers.
Phantom, seeing the situation puts his hand down, discharging the blasts, but he still remains guarded.
"What do you want?" He asked, anger still laced in his voice for what happened earlier that day.
"Easy Phantom, we just want some answers, considering you have just about broken a majority of our theories of ghosts. We just want to ask some questions, and we get some answers." Maddie said.
Phantom seemed to complemtate this, but then he asked "What theories, exactly have I broken?"
"Well, there's our theory of reproduction, the theory of emotion, power, I believe a few others." She said.
"I have an idea." Said Jack, this obviously caused some eyebrows to be raised. "The scientific community as well as the rest of the park should get to know these answers, perhaps tomorrow, we can schedule a time to ask some questions in front of cameras so that people can know the truth."
"That surprisingly sounds like a good idea, I pretty sure I can make it, it can be after one of my ghost fights. Good thing tomorrow's Saturday. Well I have to get going. Oh and Huntress, I believe somebody wants to talk to you." Danny said, as he motioned at Danielle. As she went to Valerie, he continued to talk with the Fentons.
With Dani&Valerie
"Dani, please tell me that you aren't the daughter of that evil ghosts." Valerie pleaded to Danielle, hoping that it was all an intricate lie.
"Valerie, my dad isn't evil, and yes he's my dad, we've both been wanting this for a while and we finally found eachother today. I know you think he ruined your life, but all you lost was money and popularity but what you did gain, was character, and friends. Plus Cujo isn't even his dog." Danielle said.
Valerie, comtemplated this, and while much of it was true, it didn't mean that she was going to trust Phantom and time soon, but at least she would stop hunting him, for Danielle's sake at the very least.
"Fine, but I'm not trusting him anytime soon. He still destroyed my suit and revealed me in front of my father. Do you know how much trouble that caused?" Valerie said still mad at Danny.
"And it was all for good reason Valerie." The two girls turned towards the voice and saw Danny looking at them.
A bit earlier with Danny&Fentons`
We were talking about what to do, so far we made a plan, they would pretend to capture me with a fake ectoplasmic net, then they would ask me questions and I would answers, in front of cameras too. Just in case the GIW came back I could easily take the net off and fly away.
Apparently according to Maddie, that even though I'm an lying piece of ectoplasmic scum, no girl should live without a father. We finished up and I floated over to where Dani and Valerie were, what I heard made me even more proud of Danielle.
"Fine, but I'm not trusting him anytime soon. He still destroyed my suit and revealed me in front of my father. Do you know how much trouble that caused?" I heard Valerie say.
"And it was all for good reason Valerie." I said. "I knew that you were not in the suit at the time, so I had no reason to hold back on my power. I unmasked you to your father because I couldn't let you fight Pariah Dark, for even that battle nearly killed me. I could not let anybody else carry that burden." Danny said with a tone of regret in his voice.
The two had a stare down for a moment, until Valerie gave in with a sigh. "Alright but what about the robberies, and the whole mayor incident."
"A staff that could control ghosts, and the entire ghost pd overshadowing people." Danny replied to her. The two looked at each other again before Valerie replied. "Fine but if you do anything, you're done for spook." Valerie warned.
The two Phantoms started to float higher about to fly away before Maddie spoke up again. "Phantom, if the girl is your daughter, then…who is her mother?" "As an old friend of mine said, all will be revealed in due time." The two then proceeded to fly away and turn invisible.
The Fentons and Valerie soon went their own ways. Preparing themselves for tomorrow the Fentons wrote a list of questions while Valerie prepared her weapons just in case Danny did anything.
With the Phantoms
The father daughter duo was heading to Sam's house since she said Dani could sleep there until a better living arrangement could be made. She would be in one of the guest rooms, and due to her house being pretty big it wouldn't be too difficult to hide her from her parents.
"Thanks for everything Dad." Danielle said to Danny while he tucked her in. Danny smiled at her. "You know I would do anything for you Dani, now go to sleep tomorrow is going to be an interesting day.
"Thanks Daddy, I love you." She said before finally falling asleep. Danny beemed at her before kissing the top of her head and saying. "I love you too, Danielle."
And the chapter ends, it's a bit smaller than last couple of ones but here it is. I honestly have to thank everybody for their support.
