Hi and welcome to the last chapter of For the future
Not much else to say here we go
Not much of a list but hey something is better than nothing
The Many Dates of Danny Fenton Danny and Luz
For the Future Part 3
"What are you looking for"
"My mother demanded that I be the top student in Abomination magic not just at Hexside but for every school on the Isles I had to score higher than them all" Amity explained a spell circle later and a lilac colored tome floated over landing in front of Amity with a heavy thud kicking up a cloud of dust
The Abomination track year book a magic tome that recorded name of every student who registered in the abomination track since the formation of the Coven system back when she obssesed over being the top student Amity had read this book dozens of times to know the names of her enemies
Looking through the pages Amity looked through the names "No Miki no Miki no Miki"
Amity turned pages speed reading through "no Miki no Miki no Miki" Amity muttered as she continued going back further and further until she finally found who she was looking for
"Oh no not her"
"What whose her"
"She's talking about me human" Miki said as she stood with the cloaked construction witch Roca holding a vial of sleeping nettles potion breaking it sending gas taking off her mask and goggles revealing it to be Kikimora
"Ugh not you" Amity groaned in annoyance before she and Sam passed out falling asleep thanks to the sleeping nettles
While Amity and Sam had gone off to do something Luz wasn't sure what in the library while she had gone to the photo lab with everyone else Willow had grabbed a pair of memory tweezers that thankfully unlike paperclips hadn't been used as a meat substitute
"Now Luz remember no tricks no schemes" Willow started
"And no shenanigans" Luz finished getting a small laugh from the plant witch Luz frowned a little weird usually Willow laughed a lot more when they reminisced about that
"Willow you okay" Luz asked worried
"Oh I'm fine don't worry Luz" Willow answered quickly looking down at her feet which made Luz more worried for her first friend before she began to dig around in Luzs ear for the memory of Phillips ugh teleportation glyph
With it they'd teleport to the skull rescue everyone and find a way to stop the Collector
She wasn't sure how they were going to do that last part but they'd find a way they had the student of Eda the Owl Lady Danny Phantom the former Golden Guard and the most powerful young witches in three different fields of magic not forgetting mami and Sam
They were gonna find a way
'Don't worry Eda King I'm coming for you guys' Luz promised to herself
Hunter stood on guard having been on edge since they arrived in Hexside no before that since Flapjack-
Hunter closed his eyes gritting his teeth and clenching his fists he would not cry not now
It wasn't the time for mourning the mission needed to be completed Belos needed to be found and the Collector needed to be stopped
Than and only than would he allow himself to mourn
Only than would he let himself cry
"Ah ha you found it Willow" Luz cheered "it's so clear"
"Yeah it's uh what is it" Danny asked cluelessly
"It's a glyph combo Phillip used to teleport with this bad boy we can get to the skull" Luz said excitedly
Danny cheered "that's awesome"
"Finally we can go let's get Sam and Amity and leave" Hunter said impatiently moving from where he'd been leaning on the wall
"Hey Hunter" Gus said getting his attention "can we talk first"
"Sure did you also notice the composition of the student councils members" Hunter asked
"What about it" Willow asked
"That apparently it has witches my mija scammed out of money" Mrs. Noceda asked
"Not all of them" Luz replied quickly "Eda never took me to the toes"
"Not the way you apparently did" Gus answered obviously unsure where Hunter was going with this
"Every council member was from a different track with no multitrack students at all among them" Hunter said "and despite the potions track witch being the president" Hunter made airquotes while saying the witches title "the abominations witch from Saint Epiderm was the one calling the shots and the construction witch was the enforcer"
Now Hunter realized why it felt familiar
"It was just like Coven head meetings with Belos in charge and the head of head of the Emperors coven as his enforcer" Hunter realized
"That is disturbing uncharacteristic for Boscha but no that's not what I wanted to talk about" Gus said putting a hand on Hunters shoulder while Willow handed him a memory photo of him in his flyer derby uniform
Hunters eyes locked almost instantaneously the image of Flapjacks filling him with grief "we're all going to miss Flapjack" Willow told him
"He shouldn't have tried to save me" Hunter said "if he never met me than-" Hunter began to hyperventilate his heartbeat pounding in his ears Gus put a hand around Hunters shoulder
"In for four out for eight" Gus instructed gently Hunter didn't respond at first but soon he did the breathing exercise that Gus had taught him once he was calmed down Gus looked down before he unclipped the spell amplifier from his ear
What
"Hunter I know that you're a grimwalker" Gus said "the 205th grimwalker that Belos made with Calebs bones"
Two hundred five
Belos had used nearly all of Calebs bones
"Did Luz tell you" Hunter asked Gus shook his head showing him the spell amplifier of course now Hunter understood Adrians spell amplifier a powerful tool that the coven head would use to peer into the memories of his opponents to trick them and make his illusions seem more convincing
Gus must have used it during the battle with Belos on the day of unity
"I saw a lot of things some I wish I hadn't" Gus said
Dear Titan no wonder Gus had so many nightmares since the Day of Unity Hunter had thought that the nightmares were just because of the Collector but no who knew what horrors Belos had unleashed in his four centuries of life that traumatized Gus
For Titans Sake he was twelve years old he shouldn't be thinking of things like this
"I never knew my mom she was a journalist like my dad Gus began "no one knew what happened to her she just disappeared a month after I was born"
Oh no
"She met with the Golden Guard your predecessor they were working together to uncover the Day of Unity Belos ambushed them and he gloated letting them know what would happen on the Day of Unity"
Oh Titan no
"I didn't have any memories of my mom I didn't know what she sounded like what she looked like now I see her look of terror and I hear her screams"
Oh Gus
Hunter couldn't even begin to understand the pain his friend must feel how because of a grimwalker Gus grew up with only one parent how could he even stand to be around him
"Why are you telling me this" Hunter asked tears falling from his face
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to make things worse" Willow said sadly vines creeping up from her boots before she ran off
No Captain no this wasn't your fault thats what Hunter wanted to say but his tongue felt like lead in his mouth he couldn't bring himself to say anything
"Hunter if anything this is my fault I've known you were a Grimwalker since the Day of Unity I was waiting for you to want to talk about it maybe if I talked to you sooner we might not be hurting so much"
No Gus it wasn't your fault
You weren't the one who was made by a madman who'd blindly followed him like a fool who'd been weak enough to get possessed by him
Who lost his first friend
Hunter ran off
"Hunter/Mijo" he heard the others cry after him but he didn't stop
"Hunter" Danny said flying up besides him Hunter swerved fast running through a door
The pain snapped him some coherence back into him as he picked the splinters off of him he heard something scuttling around
"Man you're really fast" Danny said following after him "look man let's go back the others are worried about you"
"They shouldn't be I cause nothing but trouble" Hunter said bitterly
"Wow you and Luz really are siblings" Danny replied "didn't you yourself say less than a month ago that it's not Luzs fault Belos tricked you he brainwashed you"
The scuttling sound got louder
"It's different"
"Why because you're a clone" Danny asked
"That still makes it Belos' fault he raised you he told you all his lies just lies just like told everyone else and you believed the fruitloop because he raised you" he continued "trust me I know I know someone she went through all the same stuff you did"
"Where's she now" Hunter asked curiously
"Last I heard France" Danny answered not that Hunter knew where that was "she likes to explore I'll introduce you two "
There was that scuttling sound again
"Okay what is that sound" Hunter asked looking around for himself finding a small cage stashed behind a desk filled with six palismen a crab a chamelon a chicken two bears a apple with four green legs and two eye stalks and a seagull
"Why are a bunch of palismen in a cage" Hunter asked
"I don't know but they don't look happy to be in there " Danny told him cluelessly with a shrug Hunter frowned seeing the poor scared palismen gripping the lock he was about to break it when a loud explosion shook the building
Hunter and Danny shared a look nodding with each other
Hunter got to his feet taking the Palismen with him running out he went to look for Willow while Danny flew off to find Luz
"Ugh no not you" Luz said annoyed having grabbed Gus and mami when Kikimora with her giant abomitron blasted through the photo lab
"Long time no see human I was hoping that the Collector had gotten you" Kikimora cackled madly aiming her cannon at Luz "I can't have you exposing me to my pawns on the student council"
The arm cannon began to charge up Luz tapped her staff against the ground a plant glyph in her head vines shot up from the floor jerking the cannon to the left hitting the wall instead of Luz
"Let me guess you're pretending to be a kid and probably dosed everyone else on the council with mind control potions like Terra did to Raine so you can be the big boss" Luz deduced
"How did you figure out my plans so quickly" Kikimora demanded ripping the cannon free from the vines
Man where was Willow when you needed her
"It wasn't hard to figure out you're just copying Belos' plan you're just using fear of the Collector instead of Wild Magic" Luz replied rolling her eyes "what are you going to do if the Collector shows up here"
"The Collector is a child and will eventually grow bored and leave the Isles" Kikimora boasted "when that happens my new empire will be built and I will rule unopposed"
"I can see some opposition coming your way in three two one" Gus said pointing down the hall
"Ha do you think I'm dumb enough to fall for that" Kikimora asked before turning in time to see Danny punch her in the face sending her flying down the hallway and through the wall
"You tried to warn her Gustonimo" Luz said deadpanned
"Not that she'd listen" Gus replied deadpanned
"Aren't you concerned about how that evil red kitty cat is mind controlling children" Mami exclaimed gripping her bat tightly
"Of course we are mami we're just not worried about Kikimora" Luz said "Gus you find Willow and the others I'll help Danny"
"You just want to watch your boyfriend kick Kikimoras butt don't you" Gus asked deadpan
"Heh heh I wasn't being subtle was I"
"No no you weren't" Gus and mami answered
Kikimora scowled groaning as she got her abomitron back onto its feet
That human oracle witch hit harder than she could have possible
Kikimora made a spell circle "student council emergency Luz Noceda and her friends are spies of the Collector destroy them" she ordered transmitting her orders to student council pawns
"You'll pay for that human" Kikimoki or Kikimaki no Kikimooki ok Danny didn't remember her name from Luzs and the others stories he just remembered she was Belos' lackey
"Yeah send me the bill Kikimiki" Danny quipped firing a ghost ray "well you won't since you're not going to be in charge for much longer"
Kikimiki smirked as she pushed a button the giant robot glowed purple and Dannys ghost rays blasted off "huh" Danny asked
"Being a member of the Emperors Coven has its perks human" Kikimiki bragged "I adding shielding against oracle magic"
Okay protections against oracle magic also worked on his powers
Good to know
Kikimiki grabbed Danny the purple field shocking him throwing him into a tree
Amity groaned holding onto her pounding head seeing Sam waking next to her
"you all right Sam"
"Ugh my mouth tastes like I ate grass what hit me" the gothically dressed human asked
"Kikimora she hit us with sleeping nettles" Amity looked around it looked like they were in the Titans veins that under the school "she must be trying to get rid of us"
"I get she was your enemy but isn't the Collector the big issue here" Sam asked reaching she pulled out a ghost weapon
To other members of the former emperors coven yes probably but not to Kikimora
"Kikimora is the pettiest witch on the Isles probably in the whole realm" Amity answered deadpanned "she gave up her entire family just for a promotion"
"That's just messed up" Sam said
Amity nodded before noticing the six eye glows surrounding them "mind control potions" Amity grumbled standing back to back with Sam "well that explains how 'Miki' got elected"
"This is your world how strong are these guys" Sam asked "I don't want to hurt them"
"Boscha is an expert with potions magic assume that the others are very good at their specialty" Amity answered "though on the brightside because of the mind control they won't be able to fight at their best"
Tree branches shot out of the constricting them while oracle spirits and fire bees swooped down from below Amity squeezed her hand out of the trees binding her making a spell circle Amitys costume changed to abomination lavender growing and encasing her body turning from cloth hardening into armor
Abomination slime seeped over her neck encasing her head in a helmet the eyeholes and a circle on the chest glowing with lavender light
A suit of abomination armor inspired by the human hero Tony Stark Amity had worked with Mrs. Fenton to create it
Amity broke free of the branches Amity held her hands out shaping fire glyphs onto her palms 'remember what Luz said focus on what you want' Amity thought before shooting fire forcing the firebees back
Sam wearing a suit of ghost hunting armor blasted the oracle spirits sending them back a Boscha made two spell circles bringing them together a flood of acid poured out of the combined spell circle Amity grabbed Sam jumping up Boscha smirked "nice try Collector" she taunted
Acid rained down onto Amity she could hear the acid corroding her slime the 'acid' down below vanished in a poof of blue smoke
"Nice work cuz" the oracle witch said to the illusion witch who grinned there was something that was very familiar about that smile though Amity had never met this kid before
"That'll teach the Collector not to mess with the Clawthornes" he replied
'That explains it' Amity thought in realization 'his smile reminds me of Eda'
The Bard Witch opened his mouth wide showing his three throats he began to sing un three different tones the waves slamming into Amitys armor Amity shaped the armor on her arm into a shield weaving a spell circle with her staff shooting a fire spell at the beast keeping witch who had morphed into a three headed chimera part panther part wolf and part orangutan
Sam was surrounded by oracle spirits she blasted at them while avoiding tree branches growing up from the ground and blasts of potions from Boscha
Amity looked to Sam who nodded back Amity formed a ice glyph on her left hand and a fire glyph on her right slamming them together creating a cloud of smoke hopping on her staff she grabbed Sam flying off
"Those guys were tougher than they looked" Amity said commanding her visor to go up sweat pouring down her forehead making her hair stick to her body
"And they looked pretty tough to begin with" Sam agreed looking back Amity expected at least Boscha to be in hot pursuit on her staff
But there was no sign of her
Why
"Watch out" Ghost warned through their bond stopping when they got into a room filled with vines Willow was holding onto Hunter who was crying while Gus was just watching while holding a cage full of palismen Amity didn't recognize any but Boschas palisman Maya
'Why is Maya in a cage' Amity thought
"Willow are you ok" Amity asked Willow looked over
"I'll be okay" Willow said looking to her and Sam "are you okay you look like you've been in a warzone"
"Yeah something" Amity answered
"They're this way get them" Boscha yelled
"And here we go again" Sam said getting ready to fight as the Student Council came in Hunter zipped past wait what grabbing the cage freeing the palismen Maya clattered her claws
Boscha froze turning with tears in her eyes "Maya"
Maya clattered scuttling over Boscha knelt down hugging her palisman the yellow glow in her eyes faded returning to their natural pink "oh I missed you so much Maya I was so worried about you"
Maya clattered again turning into her staff before she growled "Miki"
Boscha made a spell circle the student council froze before dropping to a kneel throwing up a potion their eyes stopped glowing as their palismen ran over to them
"Wow that's both awesome and disgusting" Sam said
"Like a lot of things in the Demon realm" Gus answered
"Are we going to have to fight them" Sam said
Hunter shook his head "I read palismen can cure a potions witch they're bonded to from mind altering potions" he said "once the potion witch was freed she could free the other"
"Boscha her names Boscha" Amity supplied stepping forward to meet Boscha "Amity" Boscha said cooly
"Boscha" Amity said with the same tone this was the longest conversation that they had since the grudgby game
Amity held up her hand "I'm glad you're okay"
Boscha looked at her hand with all three eyes before shaking it "same" she said
Amity and Boscha looked up when they heard an explosion "I'm guessing that's where Luz is" Boscha asked surprising Amity that she even knew Luzs name
"Probably Kikimora you uh know her as Miki" Amity said
Boschas grin turned savage like it did before a big game "good"
Amity almost felt bad for Kikimora
Almost
Kikimiki grabbed Danny the purple field shocking him throwing him into a tree
"I don't know what kind of weird oracle witch you are but I know this will vaporize you" Kikimiki said "any last words human"
"That is such a cliche why do all bad guys ask me that" Danny asked
"Hey Kikimora" Luz shouted throwing a blast from her staff hitting the robot knocking Danny free "stay away from my Danny"
Danny flew away
"Maybe ghost powers don't work on you how about ice powers" Danny quipped eyes glowing blue as he fired a full powered blast from his hands and eyes Luz followed the same using an ice glyph creating an iceberg
The combined ice enveloped the robot
Danny flew down landing next to Luz "your Danny huh" he asked Luz smiled giving him a kiss on the cheek
"And don't you forget it" she said "Kikimora's going to break out of that any minute now"
"Oh her names Kikimora I thought it was Kikimiki" Danny admitted
"Why" Luz asked puzzled
"You told me a lot of stories I don't remember everything" Danny answered
"Luz Danny are you okay" Danny heard Mrs. Noceda run up to them "are you two all right"
"We're fine mami it's just Kikimora" Luz said "she's only a threat because of the robot"
Speaking of which the Kikimi- Kikimora Danny mentally corrected broke free shivering as she glared hatefully "you impudent little human no one will stop my empire" Kikimora aimed at Danny
Danny couldn't dodge Luz and Mrs. Noceda could be put in danger got ready to blast her with the Ghostly wail "cover your ears and get behind me" Danny instructe- he stopped talking when giant vines rose up from the ground wrapping around every joint of the robot while holding Kikimora in place before pulling apart
"Never mind" Danny said
"Are you guys okay" Willow asked her eyes glowing green while standing on a giant vine Gus Amity Hunter and Sam were all on it behind them flying in the air were the student council
"Willow you're awesome" Luz cheered rushing over hugging her friend
'I'm suddenly much more intimidated by Willow' Danny thought gulping seeing how she did ripped apart that robot like it was an action figure Hunter sped over
"Whoa I missed a lot" Luz said
"Someone wanted to go watch their boyfriend kick butt" Gus teased
"I regret nothing Gus" Luz retorted sticking out her tongue playfully "I regret nothing"
Kikimora groaned pulling herself out of the abomitrons destroyed cockpit finding several staffs pointed at her head "hi Miki" Boscha said with a frown
"Madam president honorable student council I can explain all of this" Kikimora said "everything I did was well what I mean is uh everything I did was the will of the Titan" Kikimora stumbled trying to find an excuse
"You mean in the name of your 'new Empire'" Boscha rebutted
Kikimora knew she was done for she couldn't escape the Collectors minions would find her and turn her into a puppet so she did the only thing left she could do
"Please madame president don't kill me I beg of you" Kikimora groveled on her knees "I'll do anything anything"
Madame President grabbed her by the collar "oh Miki" she practically sang the cold look in her eyes "I'm not going to kill you"
"You're not" Kikimora asked
"You're not" everyone else asked
"Madame president with all due respect she was the Emperors right hand flunkie she might have known about the day of unity" one of the student council members said
"She might have unleashed the Collector for all we know"
"No I'm going to give you exactly what you always wanted Miki a kingdom all your own for your service to the council" Boscha promised Kikimora gulped
Why did she suddenly feel like she was better off taking her chances with the Collector
Luz couldn't help but laugh as she watched Kikimora shrunk by a shrinking potion and put in a terrarium from the beast keeping classrooms
A teeny tiny one
"Enjoy your empire Kikimora" Luz teased
"The teeny tiny emperor of her teeny tiny micronation" Danny added laughing before seeing Luz yawn
"Come on we should go rest" Danny told her
Luz shook her head
She was so close she had the teleportation glyph combo they were so close to rescuing Eda and King Danny reached out holding her close
"Eda and King have been ok for this long but we can't help them if we're dead on our feet" Danny told her holding her close Luz nodded hugging him close to her
"You're right" she said leaning up she kissed him Danny leaned down returning the kiss holding her close before she stepped away heading to find a place she could sleep
Hold just a little longer Eda King I'm on my way
And that's the chapter man this was a long one and I'm glad it's over
So obviously this chapter had the biggest change from canon with Boscha and Kikimora not working together like in the special
That was the only thing that didn't make any sense at all to me
No disrespect to Dana and her team I wouldn't have been able to compress a tv season into three specials but yeah from a character point of view it didn't really make sense from Boschas point of view to team up with the Emperors stooge
At least not to me
Ok now in the last chapter I had a guessing game to guess the disney references of the student council
Congrats to no one because no one participated
But here are the answers
Plant council member: Johnny Appleseed
Healing council member: Rapunzel
Bard council member: Willie the operatic whale
Oracle council member: Moana
Illusion council member: Robin hood
Beast keeping council member: Mowgli
Two of which as you noticed I made Clawthornes why
I'll explain next time in the authors note of Reading and Dreaming
Last thing before we go I'd like to give my sincerest condolences to the friends fans and family of Martin Mull the voice of Vlad Masters who passed away yesterday at the age of 80
You played one of my favorite villains of all time Mr. Mull thank you
Until next time
Stay safe
And as always
Excelsior true believers
