Phantom vs Aliens: Hot Ectoplasma!
Chapter 20: What is this feeling? Part II
Danny had just arrived home after dropping Sam and Tucker off.
Good news, he managed to get home before curfew, plus his folks were still out chasing Z-list ghosts.
"I don't even wanna imagine how'd they react if Mandie actually managed to win..."Danny thought, rubbing his temples.
He shudder at what could happen as he imagined himself introducing his "bride" to his folks, Mandie clinging to his arm and proudly proclaiming to his parents and the rest of Amity Park about their so-called union. Worst of all how his family would react to it all.
It's bad enough he has to keep his powers a secret from them but now he also has to hide an unwanted fiancé who, if his hunch is right, won't give up on him marrying her, til death do they part.
"I can't believe this happened and that she went through all that trouble, I can only hope she leaves me alone for good..."He groaned as sat on the couch. "Still, I gotta be careful since she probably won't..."He mused.
"Maybe I can chuck her into the Ghost Zone?..." He considered "That way I'd-..."
CRASH!
Danny's eyes widened when he suddenly heard a noise and got defensive. He heard a nearby crash and stood up.
"What was that?..."He asked out loud.
The ghost boy quickly changed forms and went to the sound's direction.
"Okay, this is either a ghost, a burglar...or my unwanted stalker of a fiance coming back for another round...I really hope it's one of the first two..."Danny thought as he readied himself and neared his destination.
He went to the direction where he heard the sound, seeing what caused the crash sound.
He saw a knocked over trash can but he didn't see anyone here...but that didn't mean that it was the way it seemed.
"A ghost, thankfully..."He thought, only for another sound to be heard.
He suddenly heard a noise in the kitchen and went there, there, to his surprise, he saw a young kid on the floor, tired and panting heavily.
It was a girl who looked to be no older than 12, with black hair, blue eyes and worn out clothes, as well as looking starved.
A girl that Danny was very familiar with on a personal level.
"Danielle!?..."Danny said in surprise.
The ghost girl looked at Danny, gasping and smiling, before flying over to hug the boy.
"Danny, you're here. I'm so glad that I found you..."She said in relief, shivering as she embraced her cousin.
Danny felt it, holding her in attempt to calm her down.
"Is everything alright?..."Danny asked.
"No, I wish I could see you for better reasons..."Dani said, looking scared.
"What happened? You're not melting again are you?!..."Danny asked in a panic.
Danielle shook her head.
"No, it's Vlad...he found me and I have no idea where to go..."Danielle said.
"I was hiding at an amusement near Lake Eerie when his vultures spotted me in the air and tried to get me. I managed to get away but he's after me. It's only a matter of time before he takes matters in his own hands and finds me again or sends someone to capture me..."Danielle said, looking frightened.
Danny felt angry and devastated as he listened and held her protectively in his arms. His body acting like blanket, making the girl calm down.
"Why can't he just leave you alone?..."Danny said, sick and tired of his enemy's antics.
"He just wants his perfect half ghost son and he'll do anything to get it...even trying to melt me again to see how I lasted this long..."Dani said before crying into the boy's chest. "Please help, I need you, Danny..."The little girl said, looking up with sad eyes.
The girl dug herself into her cousin. She was scared and rightly so.
Danny held her tightly, there was no intention of letting her go. His chin rested on her head as the girl gripped harder.
"Don't worry Dani. No matter what happens, I won't let that Fruitloop get near you again..."Danny promises.
Danielle sniffed before nodding, leaving Danny to stop thinking of the alien in favor of aiding family.
He needed to do something. Dani needed a safe place to stay, but one that couldn't be accessed easily by Vlad...and there was only one place Danny could think of.
"I think I know of a place where you can lay low for a while..."He said, still holding her as he formulated a plan.
Later
Danny had to be extra careful to keep a low profile as he didn't want to deal with any ghosts for now, especially one of Vlad's minions. He quickly boarded the specter speeder and put Danielle on the back seat, trying to keep her hidden as they headed to their destination.
The Far Frozen.
There, Danny met with his friend and mentor, Frostbite and explained to him what happened. It was awkward at first to explain who the little girl was, but Frostbite remained open minded and understanding of the whole thing.
"And that's the story...the Fruitloop might come for her again, so she needs a place she can be safe in..."Danny said.
Frostbite seemed concerned, studying Dani like a scientist would for a test subject but he smiled at the two of them.
"This is very distressing news, Great one..."Frostbite said, showing off his fanged smile.
"I know. So, can Dani stay here for a while? At least until we think of another way to keep her of the fruitloop's grasps?..."Danny asked.
"But of course, it would be an honor to give shelter to your...uh...sister?..."Frostbite asked as he looked at the female halfa.
"We prefer to call each other cousins..."Danny and Dani both said.
"Very well, your cousin is more than welcome here, for as long as she likes..."Frostbite said generously.
"Thank you..."Dani said, grateful.
"You're very welcome...Now, I will just inform the others that we have an honored guest in our village..."Frostbite said as he went to tell his followers the news.
The two sat down on a bench by the wall. After everything that had happened in the last hour or two, they needed a break.
As they waited, the two got to talking, catching up on lost time. A lot of it. Dani was telling her cousin about all the places she saw, from local festivities to big city events. It was tough, given the girl could only had money when she found some. Nobody would hire a child and there no such thing as a free meal in any restaurant. Not to mention, she can't exactly find anything stable without risking exposing herself.
Danny was both concerned and impressed his cousin survived on her own, but he wanted to make sure she was well taken care of.
"Sounds like you had it rough..."Danny said.
"Well, it wasn't easy but it was better than being with Vlad..."His cousin sighed.
"If I had my way, I'd give you a place at the OP center..."Danny said.
"I know but Vlad's the mayor...it's too risky...but I'll be fine here..."Dani before trying to change the subject.
"So, enough about me, what's been happening with you, cuz? Anyone you're seeing?..."She asked curiously.
Though her words were innocent, Dani had made the ghost boy think of Mandie. The ghost boy groaned at the thoughts, leaned back seething. He did not want anything to do with Mandie, memory or not.
"What?..."Dani asked.
"Nothing..."Danny waved off.
"Doesn't seem like nothing. What? Did you meet a cute girl?..."Dani sent a playful grin.
"Heh...cute isn't the word you'd ever describe Mandie with..."Danny wore a snarky smile, not realizing he said that out-loud.
"Man...die?...okay...that does not sound like a normal girl..."Dani said in a questioning way.
Danny shot up, surprised he even mentioned her name. He turned to Dani, who wore a blank face, and sighed.
"Okay...is there something I should know about? Who is this girl?..."Dani asked, staring as her cousin rubbed the top of his head in frustration.
"Long story, but to start, she's an alien princess..."Danny said, getting his cousin/clone's attention.
Dani blinked, processing the words alien princess before wearing a grin.
"Okay...this I gotta hear...tell me everything..."The little ghost girl said, fascinated.
Danny began to tell her about what has recently happened these last few days, from his first encounter with Mandie, their second one which lead to her challenging and deeming him as her fiance and soulmate and all her "visits" after that, with her displays of affection and her attempts to trap him into marriage.
He even mentioned saving her from her space craft before she left. All of this had Dani at full attention trying to make sense of everything.
"And she went back to her home planet and I haven't seen her since..."Danny said, mentally exhausted.
After the explanation, the girl slouched in awe. She opened her mouth in silence before sitting up and looking her cousin in the eye.
"So...you're telling me there's this, in your words, smoking hot alien princess who wants to marry you with the idea of having kids and conquering the universe...but in the last fight, you two made a bet and now she's supposed to leave earth alone?..."Dani repeated incredulously.
Danny groaned with a sigh, leaning back against the icy wall. He glanced at the ceiling trying to find some reprieve as she spoke.
"Yep, that's the whole idea...worst part is I'm not sure she'll keep her word...she calls me her soulmate and says she loves me..."Danny said, rubbing his temples in agitation.
"I don't even think she even knows what that word even means since her idea of a date is attacking me with her flame sword and locking me up in chains to get me to the alter..."Danny said, recalling those incidents.
Danielle seemed baffled and creeped out by that, to be honest.
"So, she's like that Paulina girl, only deadlier and willing to hunt you like Skulker?..."Dani asked.
"You could say that..."Danny said before he paused. "Wait...how do you know about Paulina?..."Danny questioned, since he didn't recall mentioning her during their last visits.
"Vlad kept tabs on your life, including your old crushes..."Dani said.
"Okay, that's totally not super creepy, isn't it?..."Danny said sarcastically, having another reason to hate his foe.
"Mandie, however, is taking it too far. She made it clear that she wants me just because I have powers and because I beat her in a fight, so she's hoping any kids between us will have powers she can use to take over the universe..."He said. "Even if she thinks she loves me, she clearly doesn't understand it. Plus, she's totally out of her mind!..."He muttered.
"I don't wanna talk about her anymore...what matters is that you'll be safe here until I figure out what to do about Vlad..."Danny said but his cousin pouted.
"But I wanna hear more! Since when can people actually say they've met an alien?..."Dani said, pulling at the boy's suit.
"I promise that I won't leave you out of the loop on this spaced out adventure but right now, keeping you safe comes first..."Danny said, making Dani giggle at the pun he used.
Dani pouted a bit but sighed and nodded, figuring that he had a rough few days and they should leave it at that, for now.
Frostbite soon came back and showed Dani where she will be staying in a nearby room very close by. The little ghost girl let go of her cousin and got up to follow.
Danny and Dani soon hugged each other goodbye and promised to meet again soon, with the ghost boy flying back home before his parents came back and noticed his absence.
"This should keep her safe till I find someway to deal with Vlad for good..."He thought as he flew through the Ghost Zone, knowing he'll have his hands full in the future.
He just hoped that things won't get any crazier from here on out.
A few days later
Mandie was about to attack, but something came falling towards her.
"Look out!..." He said.
Looking back, Mandie saw her ship falling on her.
The ship pressed down on her and, due to her exhausted body, she can't get out.
"No! Not now!..." She hissed in anger and pain.
She tried to break free, but it wasn't enough.
That's when she saw the boy she was trying to force into being her mate standing above her.
Thinking he was going to end her and end the royal bloodline, Mandie sighed in defeat.
"It's over..."She thought.
Then, to her surprise, Danny phased his hand through the ship, grabbing her arm and pulling her out after turning her intangible.
After that, he used his strength to push the ship upright.
Once done, he turned around and saw Mandie staring at him with a blank expression.
He didn't have time to think about it as he walked past her.
"There... I won... " He said with a strange smile and Mandie was stunned.
"Why... why did you save me? I... forcefully kissed you repeatedly... kidnapped you even... tried to hurt you if you rejected me..." She questioned this leap in logic.
To her surprise, the ghost boy just smiled and wrapped his arms around her.
"Maybe there's a lot more to me than you first thought, your highness..."Danny said in a gentle voice before he pulled her closer, kissing her.
Mandie gasped but soon melted into the kiss.
The girl bent a knee as she giggled with joy into the kiss. She didn't know how long it lasted, but it felt like an eternity.
"MUAH!~"
They pulled away, both with dreamy looks on their faces as they kept their arms wrapped around each other.
"So, does this mean you'll really marry me and rule beside me as we conquer everything in the universe?..."Mandie asked hopefully.
"Of course, my Queen..."Danny said as he kissed her again, holding her up as it grew more passionate.
They kissed until the sunset down, never once letting go of another.
When it ended, they both boarded her space ship and set course for Boudacia...and spent the next six hours kissing, cuddling and expressing their love for each other until they landed.
Once there, Mandie took Danny to the Boudacian grand priest, who had just set everything up for wedding ceremony of the princess and her fiance from earth.
The wedding continued with the tradition prayers, vows and soon the exchange of rings. Mandie gasped in happiness and pure bliss as Danny place a golden ring of her left hand and soon the grand priest was ready to conclude the ceremony.
"With the sacred kiss, you are wed..."He said and they didn't need to be told twice.
Mandie leaned in and Danny leaned forward, and the newlyweds kiss one another, sharing their first passionate kiss as husband and wife and as the future king and queen of Boudacia.
It was perfect!
They pulled away in an audible "muah" and looked at each other lovingly as newlyweds.
"I now pronounce you man and wife..."The grand priest declared happily.
"I'M SO HAPPY!..."She cried out with tears of joy before turning to her groom and pulling him in for another kiss, this time longer.
As they kissed again, time seem to stand still as the world around them slowed down in a single moment.
Everything was perfect .
Soon the perfect wedding ended and they left for their honeymoon, just as it was about turn dawn to dusk, but then the whole scene went dark and faded away.
In Reality
Mandie jolted awake and soon found herself in her room with no Danny, no grand priest and no wedding ring on her finger.
"It was just a dream..."Mandie said in disappointment.
The princess groaned before Dieana, her handmaiden, came in.
"Good morning, Princess. I trust you slept well..."Dieana said, sounding perky.
"Yeah...sure... whatever..."Mandie said, not caring as her handmaiden helped her get ready for her day.
Once that was done, she washed up, did her morning work out and then went to join her parents for breakfast.
There, she found the irritation sight of Brutis sitting with them.
"Oh no, what is he doing here?!..."Mandie thought in anger as her parents and unwanted suitor faced her.
"Good morning, daughter..."Queen Milee said.
"Morning..."Maurus said.
"Good morning, Dear Mandie. You look lovely..."Brutis said, smirking lecherously.
It only earned him an irritated look from the princess.
"What is he doing here?..."Mandie demanded.
"Daughter, don't be rude. Brutis has come to enjoy our breakfast. He is our guest..."Maurus said, sending a scolding look at her.
"Yours perhaps..."Mandie muttered but knew that she was stuck here.
She chose to sit next to her mother, not wanting to sit next to that sexist creep who's eyes were eating her more than the scenery. The breakfast was too slow and everything seemed distasteful for some reason for her, especially with Brutis and his smug grin but the girl figured she'd punch it out next time he challenges her.
Soon, it was time to talk business and everyone got up to talk in the war room and due to being the princess, Mandie had to be there too, even if it's just to listen to Brutis beinga nuisance again as he talked to her folks about whatever.
"My spies have detected a large amount of energy coming from Earth. There are creatures of power gathering in one specific location..."Brutis said, changing the image. "The so-called ghost like creatures that inhabit the town of Amity Park..."He explained. "We also gathered that some of the humans have rather advanced weaponry...for their primitive species, that is..."He said in a condescending way.
"Do you think they suspect an invasion?..."Maurus asked, not liking this.
"Don't know but does it even matter? We will win..."Brutis said, more interested in crushing them than any other concerns.
Mandie frowned at this as they continued to talk business and planning.
"I want you to take care of this Earth problem personally..."Maurus said, much to his daughter's surprise.
His top soldier merely smirked and nodded.
"He's going to Earth?..." Mandie thought, not liking this.
"With pleasure, your majesty..."Brutis said in a dark way. "I'll go to Earth myself with my men and personally and see for myself if these so-called ghosts so powerful and if they really are a threat to us..."He said to the king.
"And what of this Danny Phantom warrior, what should be done with him?..."Queen Milee asked.
"Simple, I'll deal with him myself and bring back his head as proof of his weakness..."Brutis said with a smirk.
Mandie heard this and got mad at what her annoying wanna be suitor plotting to attack Danny.
She knew that Brutis is all talk and Danny is more than capable of handling him but still, she did not to take any chances, as minuscule as they are.
She did not want her beloved and the biggest pain in her neck to meet.
"There is no way I'm letting that idiot ruin everything I've been working for and take it sitting down!..."Mandie thought as she decided to take matters into her own hands.
"Father...Mother...I should go on this mission alone instead of Brutis and his men. I know this warrior better than anyone and lessen the numbers of men while showing off the power of people. If we use too many soldiers, they could be spread out too thin should anything unexpected happen..."Mandie said suddenly as she couldn't keep quiet any longer.
Maurus sternly glared at his daughter.
"Mandie, stand down you—"
Before the king could reject his daughter's request, his wife spoke up.
"Very well, Daughter. You have my blessing to go to Earth and see if this Danny Phantom or any of the other ghosts pose any threat to us..."The queen said.
Mandie smiled while Brutis looked angry at this development and Maurus looked uncertain at his daughter's interruption.
"Milee? Are you sure that this the right thing to do?..."Maurus said.
"Our daughter is a capable warrior and I am sure she can handle herself against a few ghosts on this scouting mission..."Milee said, with utmost confidence.
Brutis did not like the idea of his mission being given to another and wanted her away from Earth. He wanted to scout ahead and "inspect" Danny Phantom for himself. He didn't want anyone taking that away from him, even the girl he wishes to marry.
"You're majesty, surely you can't really think that sending the princess to earth by herself is such wise decision..."Brutis said, only to receive a glare from the queen.
"Brutis, you may be a strong soldier but I am queen and my daughter IS our planet's mightiest female warrior. I know that she can handle herself against whatever this new Earth has to throw at her. You must remember that you answer to me..."Milee said in a cold tone, causing Brutis to flinch in fear from Boudacia's cold and commanding queen.
Brutis frowned but didn't dare talk back to the queen, he could only nod and bow to the queen, while silently cursing that this missed opportunity to obtain more glory to prove himself to Mandie.
"As you wish, your highness..."Brutis said, ignoring the smirk Mandie sent his way.
"I can always count on mom to put Brutis in his place...beneath us..."Mandie thought, grateful for her mother providing her permission to scout out Earth, officially under royal orders.
"Alright daughter, scout ahead and scan for any threats, but should you see this Danny Phantom, deal with him as you see fit..."Maurus ordered.
"Of course, Father..."Mandie said, saluting.
Unknown to all of them, she just wanted to keep Brutis from Earth...as well as the chance to see if she can still court Danny and reconcile with each other. Even though she started to suspect that was unlikely.
Still, she would not give up.
She just really needed to see Danny again and...try to figure out this new feeling and if there is any chance for them to be together, still refusing to see his rejection.
"I must know of these feelings...and I really him see him again...Oh, Danny..."She thought, keeping appearances to disguise her thoughts.
As the princess went to get ready for her official mission, her wannabe-suitor sent her a look, unsure of the princess's true intentions for this mission.
"She knows more about that Phantom person than she's leading on..." He said to himself, pondering as he plotted.
As he finished, Brutis thanked the royal family and left. All the while, he had his own plans.
"Maybe it's time I see why she is so insistent of going to that little mud ball of a planet...and who her mysterious suitor is..."He thought angrily, coming up with plans of his own.
