It had taken a few days to finalize all the details.
It was at the end that Jinx had blurted out something that had brought attention once more to Danny.
"So, Danny how was your world?" Jinx turned to Danny and asked. "Did people do stuff like this in your world as well?"
Danny almost face-palmed. Her words were the catalyst that drew everyone's attention. They remembered the fights they had seen and it seemed unlike anything before. The environment and the cities looked different than anything that they had seen compared to before.
All eyes were drawn to him; Danny found himself the center of attention again. The details had been forgotten, would have been forgotten and maybe remembered when they left this place. Now, with someone else opening the line of question. Questions began popping in everyone's heads.
Danny sighed again.
"Jinx, tell me what do you want to know?" Danny said. Come on Jinx, you need to learn some common sense.
"So, are you royalty?" Jinx asked, tilting her head. "I mean, are you my prince charming? A foreign prince betrayed in his kingdom. Came to another one to liberate it."
Danny placed a hand on Jinx's mouth in order to shut her up.
"hmph hmph hmph." Jinx grew red as she felt Danny's hands on her mouth, she licked it once and then twice. Danny, let her go. A mistake that Jinx capitalized on, as she pushed Danny onto the chair and got on top of him.
"My own prince charming." Jinn with some tricky maneuvering put Danny on her lap. "And he comes in fun size."
Danny turned intangible as he moved through Jinx. Jinx tried in vain to capture him, as Danny disappeared. He appeared by Silco's side as Jinx was trying in vain to locate him.
"I was the next in line in Succession of the underworld, in a manner of speaking." Danny explained.
"What do you mean by that?" Mel and Swain looked at him attentively.
Danny looked at both of them. "By right of conquest."
"Pardon me," Mel exclaimed.
That caught Darius's attention as well.
Danny thought that a visual presentation would be better.
A green fire appeared in Danny's hand. It was a trick that Clockwork had taught him, he concentrated on the flame as images began to appear. Soon, Danny's memory from a third-person perspective began to play. A memory that everyone was drawn into.
"There was once a king of the underworld. One that wished to rule the living and the dead." A scene appeared of a king who was a giant of a man with his head surrounded by fire.
"We fought." The scene continued with Danny fighting him and losing. "He was too strong, I lost and the world was plunged into chaos."
The scene changed and the sky turned green, as Skeleton's rose in the world of the living. Herding people, killing them. Too few had the power to resist them.
"I evened the playing field." The scene changed to Danny putting on an armor. "One that increased my power and abilities ten fold." He paused. "But one that drained my life energy. Wearing it was a death sentence."
The mood grew somber as Danny confronted the ghost king again. This time, in their clash, they were evenly matched. Rings of fire and ghost ice surrounded them, as they clashed. All tricks being used, Danny summoning weapons around him and with a wave of his hand, throwing them at the ghost king.
"In the end, I prevailed."
The scene transitioned into Danny finally managing to knock the crown off the kings head. Danny crushed it in his hand, as a weapon formed in his hand. The king perished.
Danny fainted inside the armor.
"And so I became the new heir to the throne by right of conquest. I did not rule, of course."
The scene changed to a castle. Danny was showing off a kingdom of ghosts. "They did not need a ruler, but a protector. I became that for a time. Helping people move on, learning. You know, stuff." Danny closed his hand as the scene disappeared.
"Who was your greatest opponent?" Jinx asked, an excited face showing up.
Danny smiled. "I was my own greatest opponent." He imagined always saying that.
"Well. That is true, one is one's won greatest enemy." Samira nodded. "One's fear, hesitance. Those need to be overcome on the path to power."
Samira said. She felt a little letdown, as she wanted to see a great battle again. She looked at the boy. There was a smug smile on his face.
"To understand, you must keep an open mind."
Danny concentrated as the fire reemerged.
"This was the planet I used to live on." Earth was shown from space. "Beautiful, is it not? "There was a smile on Danny's face. "But my interest was always above, in the stars. You know, we learned how to travel the stars. We even reached our moon."
The scene transitioned to a man in a space suit standing on the moon. His back turned as he looked at the earth.
The scene was mesmerizing. Everyone's attention was caught by the beautiful scene.
"The stars would soon be ours. It was always my dream to be an astronaut, to brave the unknown, to travel the stars. To go where no man has ever gone before. Do you know what light years are, Mr Jayce."
Jayce shook his head. "I don't."
"How fast does light travel?" Danny asked.
"It is near instantenous," Jayce answered.
"Imagine the distance light travels in a year. That was the closest approximation we could find for distance in space. Unfathomable, is it not." The scene zoomed out showing even more showing a cluster of stars. "Each star, with unknown worlds. Trillions of them to find."
Danny calmed himself.
"Similarly, there exists a multiverse. Each decision making a new branch. An infinite amount of them."
The scene changed showing off an infinite amount of time lines.
"I faced an evil and older version of myself from one of these timelines. The scene transitioned to two Danny's fighting. One older and one younger. Their clashes causing cracks in the air. It was there I met my mentor, he trained me. He was the master of time."
The scene changed showing clockwork. "He helped me become the man I am today."
The fight went back to Danny vs Dan. "We fought across space and time. He invaded my timeline. He wished to ensure his own creation."
"With each clash, I grew stronger." The scene showed Danny being pushed back, and getting hurt in each clash. Dan fired a beam of fire from his eyes, Danny neutralized the attack with a beam of ghost ice from his eyes. Danny made clones, Dan made double of them. Each of them dealing with Dan's without any difficulty.
"It was a version of me who had killed his humanity. He had no inhibition." The fight showed Dan grabbing Danny and putting him through a few buildings. "I was against a time limit. Everything I cared about needed to die, for me to become Dan."
There was a sad smile on Danny's face as he looked at his family.
Silco touched his shoulder. Danny gathered himself and continued.
"I used my humanity. I matched him blow for blow." The scene changed, showing Danny pushing Dan back. "In the end, I overcame myself, I overcame a stronger and older version of myself." The scene changed to Danny using his ghostly vail, destroying the buildings around him as Dan was pushed back
"In the end, Dan lost because he gave up his humanity." A final scene showed Danny sealing Dan up in a thermos.
"A battle against yourself, in your prime. Not many can overcome such a hurdle." Darius said in a gruff voice.
"No one wishes to see the monster that they can become as well," Danny answered.
"And yet, you overcame yourself." Darius continued in a gruff voice. "In quite a literal sense." Darius wanted to continue, yet he felt a whoosh of air by his side. Samira had moved. Darius scanned the room for her, they could not afford a diplomatic incident right now right off the bat.
Samira had leapt, she lived for the excitement. She lived for the thrill. That was the only reason she had joined the Noxus Empire. She enjoyed fighting, she enjoyed going up against impossible odds. Now, she saw a prince that hit all the right spots. A warrior who faced the impossible, an inventor who did not hesitate, a liberator. He hit all the right spots.
A flash of red hair and Samira was in front of him, paused. A gun was pointed at her head.
Danny looked on the side of his head and saw two arms, with blue tattoos holding two guns.
"Sorry tots, Danny is taken already," Jinx said.
"Step away from her." A charged-up fist was present and pointed at Samira. "Or else."
"Um, I can just phase through you guys, ghost powers remember? You guys know that right." Danny interrupted. He was promptly ignored.
Samira with a slight wave of her hand produced a rose. One that she placed behind Jinx's right ear.
"Who says that I am only interested in the ghost prince." For the first time, there was something that Jinx had no reply to. For a moment, her brain shut down as it took her a moment to comprehend the meaning of Samira's words. Same was with Vi, who had paused as she felt as if she was going through a crisis of her own.
Samira taking advantage of the lapse of judgement on both of their parts, smothered Danny winked ad Danny and jumped back.
"Stay away from my sister, you old hag," Vi yelled back.
"Age is but a number." Samira answered as she took her place back at Darius's side. "I will be back, my cuties." She blew a few kisses at Danny and Jinx
Victor snapped himself out of it as he asked Danny. "I wish to know about the foremost invention of your time if you don't mind."
Danny shut up, he was afraid. The last time he had talked about a nuke and it's working principles, Jinx had nodded at him and made one. They both had gotten to work, and most of the problems that they had were somehow solved. Jinx kept on coming on with one solution after another. No fissable materials, no problem. They found some deposits and using zaun alchemy made their own. They both tweaked it but it was Jinx that made it a reality. Crazy and smart had a very blurry dividing line for Jinx, a fact that Danny was starting to recognize. Most of the safety measures Danny came up with were made for Jinx and to make sure that she did not blow Zaun sky-high.
Zaun was worried about writing another edition of books as he was working with Jinx. Now that she was dwelling within automobiles. So now, Danny had to be very careful with his answer.
"The internet," Danny answers. "It is a giant network of that stores information and anyone can access it. Also, use it to communicate."
He got into the specifics, about how it worked. Its invention. By the end, Heimendinger's eyes had been wide.
"SO, anyone can get access to this information."
"As long as you have a device to connect to it," Danny answered.
He saw that everyone was reeling for the implications.
"It does make it difficult to differentiate between false information." Danny added at the end.
"How about something with a little umph." Jinx asked.
Eyes were once more drawn to Danny. Danny decided to use something that was from a comic. Something that was impossible in all manners.
"There is the arc reactor." Danny answered.
His hands glowed as he played the life of a fictional man.
"His name is Tony Stark. He was a weapon dealer once." Danny said.
The life of Tony Stark played. The testing of a Jericho missile. Tony leaving to Afghanistan.
"He does not paint a good picture, does he. So, is it a weapon?" Viktor aksed.
"No, much more than that." Danny replied.
They saw Stark being kidnapped, metal lodged in his chest, held back by an electro magnet. They saw him helped by another scientist. They saw him make a miniature reactor, use it to power his suit. They saw his friend die, and Tony realize the truth.
"Tony Start realized that his weapon were in the hands of some very terrible men. Men who used it to kill innocent people."
They saw him return and close the weapon department and go into clean energy.
"He made all this without magic." Jarvan the fourth asked.
"Magic for us was very different." Danny replied.
Stark made a new armor and used it to fly for the first time. A lot of the inventors gave wide eyes stares at that.
"That speed, its unheard of." Swain said as he looked at the armor breaking the sound barrier.
"How delightful," Hermindenger said. "It's like I am watching a novel."
"Tony went out to destroy any of his weapons that people may have gotten their hands on." Danny continued.
"In time, he found out who was selling his weapon." It showed Tony confronting his mentor and killing him. " Such is the nature of greed. He smuggled weapons to line his own pockets."
"It was funny in a way, his own reactor was killing him." The scene switched to Tony suffering from Palladium poisoning.
"In time, he made a new element to deal with the problem." Danny continued. "He tried to name it Badassium."
He heard various snorts going around the table.
Jinx stepped forward as she looked at the arc reactor. "I want to make it." She said.
She looked at Danny with her hand pointed at Danny. "I want one."
"Stark was very secretive about his designs," Danny answered. "He did not want them falling into the wrong hands."
"Tell me what you know," Jinx asks him as she pouts at him and brings him close to her.
Danny gulps as he smells Jinx and sees the made look in her eyes. "Well, there are highly energized particles moving in a circular path due to magnetic field acting upon them, and thus generating energy through collisions." Danny had his hands up." Palladium isotopes possess distinct nuclear properties, and as a result, the reactor produces more energy than required for it to keep running, meaning, it would be self-sustaining! Palladium is also responsible for cold nuclear fusion, due to its ability to absorb hydrogen. Thus, the Arc Reactor runs at lower temperatures that do not damage the human body, while also producing electricity directly through the generation of a minimal amount of heat, resulting in higher efficiency."
Danny said that all at once, he had difficulties recalling that information.
"So, it is like that bomb." Jinx said.
"Yes and No, it is like making a small sun, without it making heat and giving a lot of energy."
"That would be an unlimited source of energy. I am not part of the council, so can I collaborate?" Hermindinger asked.
"Interesting, creating a sun in the palm of one hand," Viktor said. The scene of the armor entranced him.
Jayce was quiet, he was rethinking his life plans now. He would need to get a clean break from the council after this. He also needed a way for the council not to interfere in the lives of inventors as well.
Swain was making plans to get an R&D department up and running.
Jarvan was also thinking quietly, making plans for Demacia to change. His father would need to know about this as well.
Danny was glad, the entire thing was fictional so it did not matter. No one can call him out on it as well.
