Hello readers! It's been awhile huh? there's a lot of reasons why I haven't posted and this is one of the reasons, a seperate story, not related to Ghost Titans, since this is just DP story.
I'll talk later about it later, so enjoy the show!
-Line break-
Beautiful.. A simply beautiful day falls over the city. Sunshine hits over busy cities and the rainbow shines through the clouds.
Cities all over the world are lively, adults are working, teens are relaxing at school and kids are playing in the playground. Swinging away on the swing set, a group of children help each other swing high up, the pushed kids imagine they are flying in the sky like birds.
One such girl laughs joyfully as she reaches higher than the other kids, she looks behind her at the smiling boy, someone she helped encourage to join everyone."Push more, push more!"
"..Ok!" he pushes a little harder but is careful to not make her fall off, she holds the chains harder."Wheee!"
She looks over to the sky, happiness radiates over her as everyone can tell it's a perfect day that keeps on giving.
She notices something new in the sky, curious of the glowing blue clouds forming over the city."Stop pushing, look!" Every kid heard her and looked up where she pointed, awestruck at the beautiful blue clouds?"Woahh..." It forms and forms until it reaches the middle of the city, blocking all daylight.
"Aw man!..." The kids are bummed out by the sudden darkness but are still curious with what's happening with the blue clouds becoming solid ice over the city.
Everyone looks up at the strange sight."this was not on the forecast.." they all start getting cold from it, shivering all over, they start scrambling for warmth.
"You know one thing is bothering me.. How exactly can ice be floating..?"
Everyone starts heading home or wherever they can to warm up but the ice starts glowing, forming ice stalactites over the city and...
Breaks off!..
All chaos breaks loose as it hits everything at breakneck speeds, hitting over screaming people, buildings got pinwheeled into and windows break from the force, cars crash into each other from the sudden weight as the cars start smoking. Catching on fire.
Eventually it stops raining ice stalactites as the floating ice breaks apart adding insult to injury, to the now broken.. and burning city.
The ones who survived but are crippled or the ones lucky to not get hit, desperately try to hide or run away from the madness, some look up to see if anything else will happen and they see with fear, a figure descend?! Slowly from the sky.
The figure is low enough to be seen glowing blue, he descends to the ground looking at the survivors with emptiness in his dark blue eyes..
He focuses himself, a blue mist forms out of his chest as it envelopes all over him, every living thing tries all their might to leave but to no avail, he screams loudly letting ice cover the whole city turning everything and everyone, hypothermia cold.
The living try in vain to move from their ice prison finding their entire body unable to budge...
The last painful breath was drawn as they all let go of their body.
..The city is destroyed with nothing that survived, even the underground is frozen.
Another city has fallen to a evil ghost, one with no obsession or dreams to speak of, dying from a broken obsession but stuck 'living'.
The blue glow stops completely as his face, that was completely ice blue turns tan, no longer overwhelmed by the cold and his blue eyes turn green.
The ghost that destroyed almost half the world is...
Danny Phantom...
In a haze He starts ascending back up only to hear a buzzing sound, he looks behind him and sees a Vlad bug close to him, he immediately charges his hand to blast it, but stops. The bot turns half its body into a screen projector with a video message from Vlad..
Staring at the pause, he reluctantly presses the pause button, turning it to a plus and the video starts playing.
The video shows Vlad in his old mansion in Amity, Danny has a confused look on his face."Interesting...Choice.. Vlad.." His voice strains from not talking in months and his echoed voice adds a ghostly chill to the frozen atmosphere.
"Long time no see Daniel.. By the time this message arrives to you, I'd say in, one to two hours you'd have destroyed some poor city.. And for that, congratulations... For being more vile than me!" Vlad laughs with insanity at the irony..
Danny doesn't react to his comparison, instead he gets suspicious of Vlad, thinking on it.
'He wouldn't just mock me... We both changed after Dan's...' Shaking his head to avoid thinking about it, he decides to hear what Vlad actually has to say, he rewinds the video to where he was before.
Turning serious Vlad continues."I don't know why you're doing horrible things Daniel but if, by some chance this is some "fruitloop" attempt at being a hero, then I have a proposal for you." He smirks gleefully using Danny's insult against him, Vlad moves the camera to a...
Bonded Sam.
Danny glares hard at the screen as dark blue eyes overtakes his green, he holds himself back from destroying the bot and rushing blindly back to Amity. Calming his nerves he pays attention while resisting his temper.
"You see Daniel, I know you're humanity is in there somewhere.." He moves towards the struggling Sam."This "Purple Huntress" is important to you still isn't she?"
"It's interesting how she somehow escaped the explosion, BUT MY DEAR MADDIE DIDN'T!" Turning angry Vlad continues on."WHOEVER THIS GHOST WAS I WANTED TO DESTROY IT!... Calming himself a little he looks at Danny again, smirking."But speaking of Maddie.. You are just like me Daniel! Even when you're broken you're still obsessed with something." he points to Sam.
Sam glares defiantly at Vlad."Why would he care about me! He sure doesn't care about the world he destroys!" Getting angrier she recklessly tries to escape off her glowing chains but to no avail.
Danny loses his glow, he doesn't try to deny her words, but he knows he still cares for the only family he has left..
"She must be the reason you live on... So I want you to come back to Amity, to get your dear Samantha and we'll make a deal aboit her freedom."
Vlad grabs a tired Sam who too tired to comment on Samantha. He goes back to the camera."One last thing before the video ends, I destroyed Valerie and you only have two days to save the second huntress, ta ta."
Danny destroys the bot having heard enough, he immediately speeds to Amity Park which will take awhile since he's far away from America.
While he's flying he thinks about Dan succeeding in his future... Somewhat.
'Did he feel as torn within as I feel, when he was a halfa?' Did him separating his human half, save him from a destroyed ghostly obsession?'
Danny looks behind him, seeing the destruction he caused, holding his chest where his ghost core is, he wonders..
'...Does becoming a full ghost build a new obsession?'
He slows his speed and phases his hand through his chest, trying to ignore the agonizing pain he slowly pulls something out, a small handheld device with a red button next to it.
"I... Will.. Save.. Sam!"
"What if this fixes my broken obsession? I have to find out...!
Inwardly hopeful he puts the device back where it was and speeds up again, determined to save Sam..
"Nothing.. Wrong with ..one more.."
Believing he can get a new obsession he continues to utter the words..
"Good deed..."
For the rest of trip he repeats the words, hoping to be right.
-Line break-
Danny finally reaches America, he's almost nearby Amity Park. It's night time in America and he managed to reach the continent in half a day!
'Just two more cities to pass and I'll be in Amity in no time!' He looks down, seeing various people still up and about, but what caught his eye is all the fast food joints, hearing a faint rumble from his stomach, he decides to eat and rest for the night.
'I'll just do the usual and steal it as usa-' Pausing his thoughts he hesitates, thinking back on the video. He gets lost in fond old memories of his family and friends, he sighs, regretting what he was about to do instead.
"I.. Haven't Been. Human.. In a long time.." Slowly getting used to using his voice again, he descends to the nearest fast food place. He checks the back and finds nobody there.
".. Alright here goes..!" He finds his ghost core and draws out the nostalgic cold sensation over his entire body as white rings flow over him, turning him into Danny Fenton, but he immediately has a big coughing fit, clutching his chest in pain.
Now on his knees he looks at the fabric remembering something.'At least My shirt Got fixed..' struggling to breathe a little, now that he isn't in ghost form.
Getting up he walks around the fast food place, holding his chest where a gaping hole hides under his old white and red oval shirt.
'If I'm gonna get a new obsession.. Then I need to start over, starting with not stealing.' He reaches in his jean pocket and takes his wallet out, taking a few bills out and putting his wallet back in his jeans.'..And buying my food instead.'
Danny now at the front door of the fast food joint, sees others with night cravings, bracing himself he heads in.
10 minutes later he walks out with takeout and makes sure he's not seen before going behind the building and transforming, feeling slightly relieved of the chest pain he flies off to the outside of the city.
Once outside he splits two of himself and they search for a sleeping spot, giving the original time to admire the constellations, tracing them with his fingers.
Lost in the moment he gets a jolt, yelping at the sudden absorption of his copies, getting memories of a spot with a nice tree that has a decent view of the area around, just in case.
He finds the spot immediately and floats to the middle of the tree finding a spot to eat and sleep.
While grabbing the box and unwrapping the burger he thinks deeply about his whole life up to this point, eating his burger and fries. 'Saving Sam and destroying Vlad will be my one good deed... In months.' Looking up at the sky he continues'I may even get a new obsession! But Sam hates me..'
He stops eating, finding himself in doubt about it all, clutching his aching chest.
After awhile he sighs in resignation and finds some motivation to continue eating and finalizes his thoughts'.. Even so, at least there's one less evil halfa for the world to deal with, if I'm not already wasted by then..' Finishing his food he looks at the spot he placed the handheld device and burns the takeout box, before freezing it slightly.
Wiping the smoke away he gets comfortable looking at the stars again, until eventually he falls asleep.
-Line break-
Danny wakes up alert! Hearing people chatting about in the distance, he tries to ignore the tearing core pain and splits two of himself as they survey up tree. They look around until they find the people from the south, 10 GIW members are in the forest clearly searching for a ghost. Them, so they nod to each other and split off from right and left to pincer maneuver the agents.
The original sits this one out for now, waiting for the pain to subside.. eventually. Back to the copies they reach their positions far enough away from the agents, which in, surprise they notice that the agents have no spectre deflectors, which definitely makes the plan a whole lot easier.
The GIW agents are near enough to track the orginal before one of the agents, adjusting his glasses turns to his right before suddently pointing up to-"Phantom!" All the agents pull blasters at the copy before firing at the fleeing ghost, reaching a far enough distance from the original the agent who saw Phantom suddenly copllapse, unconscious before a copy emerges from him, copy one forms multiple saws from his hands the sawing sounds catches the agents attention as they turn around aiming their blasters about to fire.
But the "fleeing" copy charges a blast turning around he blasts all the agents-"Argh!" the explosion sends them flying towards the ecto saws, which the other copy releases the saws at the agents, as the saws come close- The original Danny recovers from the pain only having a lingering ache left as usual, he stretches a bit yawning before he ascends high up in the sky.
He looks around for the agents and his copies, feeling no copy "poofed" he finds his copies, he notices one of the copies is invisible. Having an inkling of why he confirms it sighing deeply, gaining the memories of his copies.
Now knowing that he will be dealing with GIW sooner than he realised he speeds towards Amity Park.
On the way there his core gets colder and colder, until his skin turns blue from the cold by the time he's at Amity Park, slowly he starts freezing from his own cold.
Shivering he looks down from the clouds and sees an army of GIW agents all over Amity in rows circling Amity, but the most powerful agents, guards the City Hall where they have two tanks spread from the hall, the agents outside the vehicles are grunts sporting the best armor that they can offer.
On the rooftops on City Hall and the buildings around it are 5 snipers ready to pick of any ghost in the distance.
Danny looks at his hands."I.. wish I had someone.. to teach me how to control my ice powers..." He thinks of ways to mitigate the cold, as well as how to get in the hall, since they are heavily guarding their boss.
"What if I.." he splits two of himself but it seems to have barely taken away the cold, leaving his copies blue faced as well, he looks at the agents and the copies before sighing."Alright they leave us no choice.. To get to Vlad.. We must destroy the Guys In White."
The copies look at each other for a second before nodding to the original. He thinks on it for a minute before speaking."Here's what we'll do.. We have to refrain from using our ice as much as possible." The copies look unsure of this plan but they wait for the rest.
"We need as much ice as possible for Vlad, so I need you two.. To take out the agents around City Hall, especially the snipers, while I take on the front lines.. Do whatever you need to, to make sure we win!"
They reluctantly agreed realising this keeps the original most safe and so they split up towards the clouds above City Hall, getting a bird's eye view of the enemy. One copy separates to the other sniper spots outside the Hall and then...
The original flies to the front lines charging ecto rays with a hint of ice in them, he blasts both at the front row of the army, causing two explosions of green and blue to overtake half the street, almost near the street from City Hall catching every agents attention.
Now that he has their attention he turns a street left of him to safely deal with the other front row agents, while using the buildings to avoid the snipers, the circle formation of GIW breaks as left and right of them go after him, while some of them heads toward the hall hearing sniper shots, the sound going a completly different direction.
They surround the original from all sides blasting immediately with no concern. Danny realising he can't fly up quickly phases through the ground as the blasts hit everything else including themselves, he emerges from the ground seeing the damage they did, he quickly flies to the left side of the agents, dodging more reckless shots, he charges a big circular energy from both hands before blasting it at them, causing a big explosion.
With the copies they quickly deal with two snipers before phasing down dodging the sniper shots, alerting the agents to them, once they reach two more sniper targets again they phase up to them, the plan is blast their spectre deflectors apart before pointing a finger that forms a precise ray blasting right through instead of the usual push or explode.
Except, the second copy away from City Hall was not that lucky as his target already activated the spectre deflector's shield before he went up, so the copy frantically ducks the incoming sniper shot, only to pause at the agent looking alarmed about something, dropping the rifle.
The clone looks confused until he sees the agent pull out a knife, he realises that the spectre deflector's shield means that it can't be shot through unless it's normal ammo.
But the clone can't really do much to the agent now as the agent lunges for him. He dodges to the right but he ends up getting shot at from below, he becomes wide-eyed as he suddenly speeds toward the middle of the rooftop, narrowing a sniper shot that hits the shielded agent, causing the agent to backup to the edge of the rooftop falling.
Screaming, in a desperate attempt the agent reaches for the ledge and grabs it! But he almost slips off from the momentum. The copy looks for the other sniper and seeing that the other copy is dealing with him, turns to the struggling agent and the copy blasts ledge off, making the agent fall. Hearing screaming from under, the copy looks down at the scene, seeing the agents scattered half to the original Danny and the others surrounding the hall. He Gets an idea, he charges a green blast with a hint of blue and as soon as the screaming agent crashes hard into the ground, he blasts the agents shield and flies away quickly from the big greenish blue blast, it consumes everything including the tank, leaving nothing but the deadly cold.
The copies join before looking at the entrance of City hall seeing nothing but blue, except for the occasional spark of the spectre deflector on a crashed agent, the resistance of the shield must have inadvertently made a big enough blast to cover most of the street and buildings in blue dealing with most of the agents and whoever is unfortunately in the buildings around City Hall..
The copies notice something strange however, they could've sworn they saw two tanks, before making a gasping face realising that the tank must be..
Hearing the tank shot in the distance confirms their worry, immediately they rush towards their original, hoping he is doing fine.
Danny shoots green blasts at the tank's green dome shield, which doesn't seem to affect the shield at all. He tries to descend to the ground before the tank suddenly speeds towards him forcing him back up the sky to avoid the dome.
He speeds away from another tank shot almost hitting him again. He narrows his eyes focusing his next blast with both hands.
He blasts with a big precision ray, budging the dome a bit before flying behind the tank keeping the ray up, having the same effect as before, the tank turns around completely, Danny stopping his blast, readies to dodge but notices the dome shield isn't faltering at all.
'There must be something..' dodging another shot he rushed down phasing through the ground before the tank could do anything, the agent inside the tank is confused, he however sees two "Phantom's" speeding towards him, he aims his shot towards them before they both suddenly touch the ground.
Using the same tactic as before the tank drives to make the dome hit them, before they went up to and dodge a shot. They blast him a bit before seeing their original come back up turning human, coughing in his hand, Danny walks through the shield, which gives the copies the idea to distract the tank having to dodge more tank shots that destroys Amity Park and the nearest cities, before the tank suddenly stops and the shield turns off.
Danny leaves the tank before freezing it solid marking the end of the battle..
But not the war.
-Line break-
In City Hall a furious Vlad Plasmius stomps around in his broken office he, throws his office table at the wall breaking it apart and part of the wall.
"Useless oafs! At least weaken him" Pacing around the broken room he rambles on."I did not expect Daniel to come here so quick, If I'd known that I wouldn't have sent my minions across Amercia!"
Stopping his pacing he calms himself before ascending, phasing through the roof."Since he's more powerful than I thought AND, unhurt I have no choice, but to get half my power back!"
Focusing himself Vlad calls back all his copies in America even the ones that was possessing important figures. They all start heading towards Amity Park for one purpose only.
Destroy Danny Phantom!
-Line break-
Danny now as one again, looks at his shivering blue hands."Definitely didn't.. Lose much cold.." Curling his hands into fists he looks towards City Hall before seeing Vlad in the distance." Just perfect for him!" Glaring, his eyes turn dark blue, he flies halfway to Vlad who's smug in the face, clapping his hands together in a proud fashion.
"I must say Daniel, you would've been a perfect son after all."
Ignoring him Danny flares his hand in green energy."Where is Sam?"
Vlad laughs loudly echoing through the dead silent Amity."Tsk, tsk, I can't just tell you now can I.." Both Danny and Vlad looks around them as the Vlad copies arrives in Amity Park Danny immediately copies himself to two.
Vlad continues. "You'll have to force it out of me.. But you are the only one left to oppose me in my kingdom... And the last, so try to entertain me the best you can!" Grinning pointy ear to pointy ear he flares both hands in pink energy.
"So, do not hold back!" All Vlad's surround them grinning as well while the Danny's looks at each other before facing different directions, their backs towards each other ready for anything.
'This is it no more halfa ghosts will be left to cause problems for everyone..'I will save Sam and gain my new obsession no matter what it takes!'
The original Danny and Vlad stares each other down before Danny responds."I will win Vlad and you won't be here to witness a new me.."
"Fruitloop!!"
-Final Battle!-
The Danny's smile for the first time in a while while all Vlad's lose their cool snarling rushing the Danny's. The Danny copies one and two takes on the six Vlad copies, while the original Danny blasts the original Vlad far away from the hall nearing the destroyed Nasty Burger, Danny dodges pink rays, going on the offensive.
The Danny copies takes on three Vlad's each as they suddenly form a green dome around them, causing the Vlad's to crash into it at full speed, hurting themselves greatly before both Danny's overwhelm the domes into a big, bright, green blast that hits all six of the Vlad's, the force crashing the one Vlad's hit directly by the blast into a building. The damage is overwhelming as they poof away into a angry original.
The others stand up from the poles, roads or agents they destroyed from the force they crashed into them, two Vlad's each charges towards the copies again leaving ice cracks, they don't rush blindly like last time they instead surround the Danny's as four and they all, in unison blast at one of the Danny's, but two Vlad's gets blasted frozen! Before they could go through with that.
The Danny hit with two blasts, comes back up, rushing for the frozen ones and hits them both with Blue glowing fists shattering them, he dome shields himself quickly before it shatters from one Vlad punch pushing him back, realising he is significantly weakened from two Vlad blasts, he precision shoots the Vlad going after the second copy! This Vlad takes two shots in the back before the second Danny copy kicks him in the neck, taking him out. Turning back to the other Vlad, only to get punched hard enough in the face, Fire explodes, smoke comes from his face. He poofs, catching his orginal's attention before even hitting the ground.
The last Danny copy who's slightly hurt faces the last Vlad, they each stare at each other, waiting for the other to make a move, before the Danny copy does.
Danny moves in his defense, blasting ice at him, before he responds with fiery pink blasts of his own leaving the two dodging some of the blasts, while the rest of the blasts shockwaves into each other. Vlad moves in with flaming pink hands intending to grab him, but Danny dodges to the side, the lunge Vlad made, cost an opening, as Danny blasts his back, only slowly freezing him thanks to his fire core. Vlad tries to burn the ice, but Danny blasts his arm joints frozen.
Knowing he's losing, Vlad Uses more heat to explode around him, hitting Danny. He glares at the copy, both are weakend. They both know one more hit can be victory or loss.. Vlad readies both hands, before getting an idea from his original, smirking he immediately does it catching the Danny copy off guard.
He teleported and the copy didn't even think about it and rushes towards the original, worried, but determined to be there in time, he turns his legs into a ghostly tail and speeds off towards the sound of explosions.
-Before the copy fight-
Dodging the pink blasts from Vlad he goes on the offensive blitzing towards him making wild green punches at Vlad's face, which Vlad shields successfully but gets pushed back towards the destroyed Nasty Burger.
Both briefly see the statue of Maddie, Jack, Jasmine, Tucker and a lone Mr Lancer. Vlad would've made a comment on the Nasty Burger incident until he felt two copies of himself return to him defeated, losing his composure again he screams angrily, rushing him again before stopping at the dome shield Danny formed. Getting an idea of what he plans to do, thanks to his copies memories he readies a square shield.
He was right, as the green dome becomes overwhelmed into a big blast going right for Vlad! Vlad shield gets hit directly as the force of blast pushes him back, nearing the bits and pieces of the Nasty Burger before the shield absorbs the entire blast.
Vlad laughs and sends the blast back to the owner who phases through the ground with no other option, the blast hits half a building and the top half of another building behind it, destroyed parts fall off, crashing into the streets!
Seeing no trace of Danny left, he laughs triumphantly believing he destroyed Danny."The end of a deluded fool! What did you think wa-""Crack!"
Vlad's chin receives a extremely fast green uppercut from right under him. The added strength of the ghostly energy, the speed and the force of the uppercut, turns Vlad neck upwards unnaturally until his neck cracks loose, leaving a Vlad that can see behind him, but not infront of him. His body turns upwards in reaction to his head direction and his hands reaches for his neck but-
Danny continues his attack Punching Vlad in the stomach, making Vlad hold his stomach, before Danny, using the momentum, kicks Vlad in the side, before backing up and shoulder bumping Vlad into a pole that breaks in half, it falls on Vlad. But Vlad's regeneration kicked in at this point, so Danny backs up again but charges up a blue blast forming a circle in front of his hands before mini ice needles form and Danny shoots them rapidly at Vlad.
Vlad takes multiple needles across his body, he tries to scream but can't, he shields himself in a pink dome, but the freezing from the needles start forming all across his body and his shield.
Before his shield shatters and his body turns frozen he receives more memories of his copies so, Vlad decides..
No more holding back.
His neck fully healed and back where it was, screams animalisticly, as he flares his entire body in pink fire, overwhelming the cold and pushing Danny back onto the broken building parts from before, hitting the back of his head and body into it.
Groaning he touches the back of his head and body. He glares at Vlad who blasts a fiery pink blast at Danny while Danny Blasts ice at Vlad.
Both get hit, but Danny takes the most damage as the explosion launched him far backwards over the street back towards City Hall. He balances on the air, but is visibly weekend as he descends to the ground dry heaving on his hands and knees, parts of his hazmat suit burnt.
Vlad slowly floats towards Danny, reaching halfway there."It's no use Daniel, from here on out, all my copies will arrive soon!" The ice around Vlad's neck fully melts from the flaring heat.
He charges a blast and smirks looking behind Danny."Besides one of copies is already here."
Suddenly a Vlad copy emerges from his teleport and grabs Danny, before electricuting him, screaming rings appear briefly over Danny before forcing itself close confusing the Vlad's before proceeding."It's over Daniel!"
'I wish I could've used my Ghostly Wail, but I'm already struggling with my human half as it is!..'
Throwing the blast, it speeds towards Danny and the Vlad copy smirks in victory, before Danny freezes him solid, but the electricity still courses through him so desperately, he reaches in his core letting the ice envelope him before forming a giant blue shield in front of him.
The shield holds strong as it takes an explosion of pink fire, creating a smoking screen in the area.
The smoke clears and Vlad sees a perfectly fine, unburnt Danny stand up focused as his eyes turn dark blue and his hands glows blue.
Vlad receives the memories of the frozen copy as it's left as only a statue, with the body gone, the copy only saw smoke at the end.
Vlad descends to the ground crossing his arms not even looking behind him as... An uncountable number of Vlad's appear just in time teleporting in green swirls and the second copy of Danny arrives at the original Danny's side activating his ice.
The original Vlad backs off turning his back from the Danny's."I'll let them handle this." Walking towards the Nasty Burger while the Vlad copies surround the Danny's they all charge pink blasts, ready to take them out.
But multiple Vlad's suddenly gets blasted by rockets and sniper shots taking them out, poofing from the damage. Everyone, surprised looks in the direction of the City Hall rooftops and sees..
Purple Huntress and Valerie!
The original Vlad is surprised before becoming enraged."How did you escape!? And how did live!?"All Vlad's repeats what he said in unison.
Valerie who's heavily bandaged responds."You're.. Both.. Going.. Down!!" firing another cluster of rockets.
Purple Huntress snipes the other Vlad's."No more evil ghosts!.. No more..." Seeing that Danny did come back causes an ache in her chest, Valerie briefly looks at her, before firing another cluster.
The Danny's has a surprised look on his face before smiling, focusing on one last thing he set out to do.
The end of Vlad and so both Danny's separates, one goes after the Vlad's who's speeding after Purple Huntress and Valerie, while the original is after Vlad but he gets intercepted by the mass of copies.
The Vlad's after the Huntresses dodge both the cluster rockets and sniper shots while some of the others get hit, not as many fall as last time. The Vlad's charge a fiery pink blast, before they got frozen taking the other Vlad's attention away as they get cluster rockets to the face, taking them out.
The copy takes out the frozen Vlad's before dodging a sniper shot, he rushes full speed at the huntresses, who alarmed, turn "their" spectre deflectors on bracing for impact.
But it didn't come as they look back and see the Danny copy blast most of Vlad's blasts frozen while the other misses and hit parts of the hall instead.
Looking back at their surprised face he looks at Valerie who glares at him."I'm not gonna fall for it Danny! You'll never be a hero again!.. You never were.." she falters slightly at the look Danny gave her.
Surprise hurt. A genuine hurt falls across his face, he looks down as his hair hides his face, confusing Valerie and deep down saddens her.'Why did you destroy half the world Fenton? Why are you evil? Why did I have to be right about you after all!...' she notices a big blue shield surround them as multiple pink blasts slam into it budging it.
The copy looks at Sam who's faltering the most out of two before the copy starts to get pushed back from the force of Vlad's blasts.
"That comparison Vlad made about me and him?"
Both huntresses looks in surprise at the copy suddenly speaking."You don't belong to me Sam and you never did.. That's what Vlad will never understand about Maddie."
He turns back and suddenly bursts to the air, as the dome disappears revealing that most Vlad's became frozen from the original Danny, who himself is frozen..
"Danny? Danny!" Valerie stops Sam, holding her back. Shaking her head Sam looks down hiding her face.
Back to the original Vlad who gets a class of wine poured from his copy, who after that teleports back in the battle.
Vlad drinks from the wine."Freezing yourself willingly to death how poetic.. And ironic." Vlad laughs amused, barely heard through the sounds of explosions, he raises his class to the sky as the Danny copy draws out all the cold from himself and suddenly explodes, freezing the rest of the Vlad copies down, freezing them beyond hypothermia cold.
"A toast for a good show and victory for the king of the world." Drinking the last of his wine he tosses it aside as it breaks.
Hm? Why is Daniel?-"Vlad notices something off about both Danny's as they fall from the air, Vlad sees the body of the original Danny...
Disappeared from their ice prison, the "body" becomes a statue of their last moment, just like Vlad's copy from the smoke..
Before Vlad could figure it out he feels a cold sensation from his chest before...
"Arrrghhh!!"
His core start to freeze! He looks behind him and sees Danny Phantom using all his cold to freeze Vlad permanently.
Vlad, while trying to flare his ghostly heat to resist Danny's ghostly cold, notices the telltale signs that the Danny he thought was the original.. wasn't.
He realises that Danny's regeneration isn't as powerful as his, for even though Danny is healed from the burns it clearly took a long time and his suit didn't regenerate with him..
Vlad screams turn silent as his vocal cords turn frozen and he begins to lose his heat faster than he can make it!
Danny noticing this, finally speaks after a while."The smoke gave me an idea, split a copy and go underground and hope. You can't see through smoke... You didn't."
No longer being careful he lets all his cold out, freezing Vlad completely still, turning him into a blue statue, like many others.
"No more halfas left Vlad!-" He suddenly coughs painfully out of nowhere.. Realising something wrong, looks, before his blue eyes consume most of the shadow on his face.
"No more halfas... This was all.."
"..One more good deed..."
Seeing Danny fly away, the last thoughts left in Vlad's mind before it shuts down is..
"There's still one more left..
"Soon."
-End battle!-
Danny flies to the top of City Hall and sees Sam aiding a injured Valerie. They notice him, so they tense up and becomes worried, but unable to do anything..
Danny conjures something blue, increasing their nerves, sweating Sam bravely stands in front of Valerie.
She looks away as the energy brightens before looking back, only to be surprised at what he made.
"Anybody want an ice pack?"He presses one against his body, hissing at the pain before offering one to the girls.
Baffled the girls look at each other before Sam, numbly takes the ice pack as her breath shows from the cold tempertures."I don't know what to think anymore..."
Realising what she's thinking about he, with empty eyes responds."What the news told you about me... Isn't wrong."
Sam gives Valerie the ice pack before pausing, she looks down."Why? Why did you freeze half the world? Why are you just like your future, jerky self?.. Why did you leave me?!"
Falling down to her knees, she finally lets go and cries after her outburst, Danny wants to comfort her, but he's the reason why,so.. He backs off.
Valerie who holds an ice pack to her side, comforts Sam, holding her close before looking at Danny."And why did you come back, if not for Sam?"
Danny after a while confesses while Sam eventually recovers, red in the face."I truly believed my future was set in stone, That Dan.. Was right. So I left thinking that I can at least delay Amity's destruction, maybe find a way to stop it and if not, hope you guys can stop me."
They listened to what he has to say intently, wanting to know and... Wanting to be wrong about him, as he continues."By the time I discovered my new powers, I didn't know how dangerous it was and so the city I first visited.. Became frozen solid."
.."Something snapped in my head and from that point, I became who I am now." I destroyed anything I could always deluded, thinking this is how I must learn the power, knowing it's wrong but not even resisting once, not one bit to stop.. I truly became just like him, I may not take pleasure in it, But I never stopped, even now! I didn't hold back or care about the destruction I caused here... My home.. Home.."
They observed him until now and finds their hopes.. to be crushed. Even now they notice the blue eyes of Danny Fenton, is gone, replaced by empty dark blue hazed eyes, it's like the owner has nothing to lose and will do whatever he wants.
The worse part of it all, is that he IS like Dan, aware of the horror he causes, but doesn't stop, in fact they both keep doing it anyway and right now..
they start to notice Danny's going through a breakout, he looks like he's seeing things, but nothing's there, so they both back up slowly near the broken ledge.
But before it overtakes him, Danny coughs violently, catching them off guard as they walk towards him, slowly. "I'm ok.. I'm ok.. I.. just learned something about myself. Another thing that aided this.. cycle.."
They look at each before looking at him."..What did you find out?" The girls ask in unison.
"All this time I never noticed an unsolved problem, that finally broke out, free.. I never really dealt mentally with the duality of the people of Amity, they like or hate my ghost half, hunting me like an animal, while my human half gets bullied and the teachers never did anything to help me, only put their limiting beliefs in my head like everyone else... The worst part of it all, is my parents duality, my dad made me like this with that flawed portal design, but they hunt me! ME! THEIR OWN SON! Just to"tear me apart molecule by molecule!"
he walks opposite of them to the unbroken ledge, ignoring the people under him.
"So this all bottled up, bottled up until Dan's arrival and my only family... ends tragically, so the bottle broke. Just like my ice powers, like my obsession broke Me!"
Sam noticed the word obsession while Valerie became confused"Wait... Your obsession broke!? But that would mean-!"
Danny coughs painfully again, heaving after it finally stops, he hears them screaming his name before feeling them holding him, he looks around noticing he must have fell as his vision clears, he notices that's it been night time and he's never noticed when it happened.
"Are you ok? Danny!" They repeat his hand before he stands up.
"Yes. I'm dying Sam.."
"You what!?" Valerie exclaims, not knowing where this was going at all.
"My human half is starting to die and I will be next-" Danny unexpectedly gets hugged surprising him, he looks at the both of them, holding him with tears in their eyes, he looks regretfull about something.
He's made up his mind.
"What are going to do? What do we do about you... You destroyed half the world, you practically saved this town from that tyrant and you're dying!?" Valerielets go of him and gives him space.
"Is this the last time we'll ever see you?" Afraid of what's gonna happen to him she holds him tighter, overwhelmed with all this information..
Danny hesitates before hugging Sam back, Valerie smiles slightly, but is to worried about Danny's wellbeing, confusing her to no end, why she finds herself caring for a evil ghost.. 'Who happens to be Danny of all people..'
After letting go of each other, Danny turns around and phases his hand into his chest, grunting before pulling out a handheld device, turning around he quickly finds out that they saw anyway, going of their uncomfortable look, they look blankly at Danny to explain what's he holding.
"I have one last option to save myself and save everyone from me.."
He looks at Valerie. "You're right Valerie, I'm no hero and my time's ticking, so there's no way to become one again.."
"..I truly was wish I was wrong... That I can say I'm sorry for everything I did and believed in, but what you did can't be fixed.." She looks away from him a second holding her arm.
Sam can't find it in her to self to truly forgive him either, but she still wants to know something.
"What is that thing Danny? It's definitely not a Gameboy.."
Smiling he happily responds."It's.. It's a portable portal to the ghost zone, to find a way to save myself and, you know to get away from everyone, after what I did.."
Sam smiling hides her sadness."I hope you come back... To fix this mess!"
Danny briefly loses his smile before it comes back, nodding"I must get going, I- Bye!"
Valerie who watched their conversation noticed the sudden happiness and...
The big lie of it all. The smile and what that device may actually be..
"Danny! Wait!"
He stops and looks back keeping his smile up, but it still looks shaky.. "Yeah?"
"Danny- I- is there no other WAY for you to SAVE yourself?" She asks afraid of what that device actually is, especially since he phased it in his chest, Sam gets confused with why she said it like that, especially since he already said how..
Danny realising she knows loses the hint of soul in his eyes."There's no other way..." he looks up at the stars, hiding his tears."Farewell girls! Take care of yourselves!" He says all this while speeding up high in the sky, his voice barely being heard anymore.
He reaches to the clouds ignoring Valerie's scream.
He looks up to the stars...
"Ding!"..He presses the button.
He goes faster as the sound of "One!" Echoes through the skies.
'I wanted to do this before Vlad led me here and now...'
"Two!"
'There's no more chance I'll be fine as a full ghost... I already am one!'
Crying he finds himself.. deluding again..
"Three!"
Looking at the stars he looks down at his "astronaut suit" as he flies around in "Space." "Mom, Dad, look! I'm an astronaut! I-"
In the skies across all Amity, a far distant sound of a explosion hits the skies, it take a lot of focus to hear it...
But the cries of one kid, is loudest, echoing through Amity while the other kid thinks she's finally not hiding her pain anymore..
There's no doubt he was evil.. but for a moment just a moment..
He was a hero, who saved Amity and the world from the tyrant known as Vlad Plasmius.
The Vlad "Statue" stays frozen, unbreakable naturally, its like his entire being is locked in its ice prison as his full ghost form, never forms...
He stays permanently on earth.
-Story end-
Alright! sheesh, this one-shot story took way longer than I realised, I failed a deadline I tried out on this, but this was defintely fun to do especially since it was orginally meant to be a break from Ghost Titans..
But speaking of that I'll go back on doing chapter three which is meant to be a long one, kinda like a end of arc one, I don't know if it will be as long as this story, but only time will tell.
Other than that this was one of the reasons I wasn't "here" for a while, mostly I was working on story projects, long story type of deal, now there's no way I'm trying to manage that and Ghost Titans, doesn't mean I won't have it prepped for.. After Ghost Titans?
That's enough rambling from me, I hope you enjoyed or had fun with the story, seeing whatever flaws I didn't see or whatever the story lacks, lacked.
Last thing, nothing from me is a requirement, but if YOU want, you can give me advice and tips about writing, but thank you for reading:
".. One more good deed..."
