Follow-up to Halfa Dash AU

Believe it or not, Danny starts to get jealous of Dash. In his eyes, Dash got everything while he got little to nothing. Everyone in town knows Dash’s “secret” and work to hide him from the GIW or prying eyes. Valerie and the Fentons work together with him, and Vlad learned to let go of his anger a long time ago and isn’t in the picture.

When Danny helped in his universe, he was called a menace for accidentally causing property damage in ghost fights, half of which is caused by the other ghost attacking him and the other half is Danny being thrown at buildings or the ground, so he literally has no control over it! Even when he tried! He still tried to help the best he could, but it was never enough for the town.

“I gave all I could for them, and then some, but what did I get? Hunted! Torn open! I didn’t expect anything, not even a thank you!”

When Dash does it, he’s considered a hero, gets pats on the back, that kind of stuff. His fire core in still underdeveloped, but he warms up the area when he’s in ghost form. People love that, unless people are already hot and sweating, but no one lashes out. Danny’s ice core lowers the room temperature, and sometimes his body temperature. No one wants to hold hands that are cold.

As you can tell, Danny is pissed about this. He’s happy Dash doesn’t have to deal with what he did, but he’s still pissed.

As for Sam and Tucker, I have two ideas.

They went along with him to the alternate universe, where none of them existed, and all live and work together to get by and help each other out. There was no way they were leaving him alone.

The alternate Sam and Tucker like Dash. They think he’s a pretty chill guy, and they don’t understand why Danny keeps avoiding him or flinching. A part of Danny feels betrayed by this, even though he knows they’re not the Sam and Tucker he knew.

I think the last straw for Danny would either be Vlad or Lancer.

When Vlad comes into the picture, he’s not just… well, not a fruit loop, but he helps Dash! He helps him with his ghost powers, he teaches him, and Jack, and Maddie! He gives tips and advice on what to expect in the future and how to deal with it, and gives him his number incase he needs him!

Danny’s anger reaches a whole new peak.

If it’s Lancer, then it’s when he figures out that Danny has no parents and is living on his own. When he talks to Danny about this after school, he blows up at him. He goes on a rant about how Lancer thinks that he knows what’s best for him when he doesn’t know the full story. He lets it slip that he’s from another universe and had really bad experiences that made it hard for him to trust people and asks how he can be sure this isn’t a trap of some kind.

Eyes are glowing green, the room is freezing, and Danny’s cussing while trying not to have a mental breakdown and failing. He doesn’t want to be put into any adoption or foster care, especially with some strangers, and he’s determined to not let that happen. If anyone, he’d allow Frostbite to adopt him.

Surprisingly, this Frostbite and the one he first met are very similar and recognize him. It’s as if they’re actually the same! Like the Ghost Zone didn’t change, or at least, the Far Frozen didn’t.

Or maybe I can add the Nightingale Family from the PenPal AU! They’d be the one able to adopt him because he meets them all over again, and they’re some of the few people who are still the same. He knows he can trust them, so when they offer adoption, his answer is yes and a big hug.

I think that eventually, he and Dash might have a rivalry-type friendship. Ish. Danny’s constantly pushing Dash to get better with his skills. Dash likes to challenge him to a sparring match or race. Or maybe it’s like this closer to the start, but Danny’s genuinely mad under the mask. He’ll start to appreciate this Dash sooner or later.

Oook so I am late with my latest drawings/ sketches for today but I’ve been busy with many things BUT my ideas for fairly odd parents fairy Timmy with Nicktoons unite / Jimmy Timmy power hour haven’t left my head at all so super happy to talk more about what’s up with that

Now with past drawings I have my fairy Oc Felicity and her anti fairy are apart of this au and my idea of what happens with Danny Phantom goes with with what Butch has given on that (I mean the guy not always great with sticking to his story plots and he has been known to be a jerk but he at least gave some information on Danny’s future on YouTube so cannot ignore that)

So going with what I know Danny has a great ghost hunting team with Sam and Tucker and Tucker is also mayor of their town and later down the line him and Sam have kids who inherited ghost powers although the kids have ghost powers a little different from their dad so they’re half ghost like their dad

Now I think that Danny and his friends start up the ghost hunting team around time Timmy gets turn into a fairy and Jimmy has become a world wide teenager professional scientist while also still in high school but he’s on the fast track to great college at age 13 because he’s just that knowledgeable and it’s at 13 that Timmy gets turned into a fairy fully and becomes Wanda & Cosmo’s kid and gets raised by them with Poof/peri (who’s 4-5 at this time)

Now the process of becoming a full time 💯 fairy 🧚‍♂️ means you take on your adopted fairy parents DNA 🧬 so sometimes you take on powers from your fairy parents lines AND being as Timmy has save fairy world and his own universe so often he has a bit of magic from that as well so like peri / poof he becomes a pretty powerful fairy (( BUT it’s also noted by the fairy council that Timmy was becoming quite the ally to fairy kind and how much magic he was having build up AND how his wishes only seemed to get out of hand because of his Human parents were quite bad at being parents and well the human adults in Timmy’s life were failing him so bad they just couldn’t trust the human adults in Timmy’s life to raise him right and they don’t want any more cockers or something worst to happen with Timmy AND they figure Timmy getting to amune to having his memory wipe so figured it’s much better idea for Timmy to become a fairy and to be raised by fairies because the human adults of their universe cannot be trusted to raise any kind of powerful child and To help Wanda And Cosmo with Timmy & Poof/Peri getting settled into fairy world more my fairy Oc Felicity who was the last human child to be turned into a full time fairy and raised by fairies (she was adopted by Jorgen’s Nana boom boom who was her godmother back when Felicity was a child who had no parents and sent to Australia 🇦🇺 back in the times The British were sending convicts to Australia 🇦🇺)

Felicity is the fairy for 3 things

Her main thing is to help artists/ writers to get inspired to well art and write and help them get out of artists& writers block or burn out

She also helps homeless cats/ and kittens find humans who will give them forever homes

And record keeping of everything that goes on with fairyworld records ( she gets hang out with Father Time to get the truth of any events that happen with fairies being as she does paints for him that he likes to keep so she can do flash back viewings on events so you can see what happens without mucking with time itself)

BUT with Timmy becoming a fairy it also becomes her job to help with Timmy and Poof/Peri’s learning to control their powers being as while Cosmo was the last fairy baby before Poof/peri but Felicity was the last fairy kid before Timmy & poof/peri

Jorgen does help her out being as to him Felicity was kinda like a little sister to him (IS kinda his cousin thanks to Nana Boom boom adoption of her) but most of the time he’s busy with Da Rules so not always able to help

Now Jimmy with Danny’s help figure out what happened with Timmy when all the humans in Timmy’s don’t know where Timmy has gone (and he didn’t get to meet Cole ever before Timmy went through becoming a fairy forevermore so he doesn’t get to meet her until after Timmy is a fairy) and when he Danny and SpongeBob entered Fairy world to find out about fairy Timmy

Anti fairy Timmy (Ymmit) along with Foop/Irep anti Cosmo and Anti Wanda were causing havoc and so Jimmy Danny and SpongeBob become diplomats for their universes so they get to keep visiting fairy world and being as they know Timmy well and helped Felicity out with dealing with her own Anti Fairy (who was teaming up with Ymmit Foop/Irep Anti Cosmo And Anti Wanda )

She ends up going to Jimmy & Danny for help with helping Timmy & Peri/poof learn to use their magic so she like how Sam & Tucker do in some later Nicktoons unite games do gets to join the nicktoons unite adventures (think Wanda Cosmo and Poof/peri will still join as well until Timmy becomes a adult & Cole grows up and forgets Wanda Cosmo and poof/peri and only remembers Timmy when he was human and like everyone back her universe that isn’t a magical creature or fairy doesn’t know what happened to Timmy then Wanda & Cosmo retired and Peri goes off to study to become a fairy god parent and Timmy becoming a fairy lawyer who helps out with the Da Rules for Jorgen and also helps Felicity out with her other jobs and she helps him out with his lawyer work being as she keeps records for everything that goes on with Fairies; they kinda become fairy heroes to fairy world and Timmy becomes family to Jorgen Nana Boom boom and Felicity (Wanda Cosmo and poof/peri already family to Timmy and he to them) so Jorgen is like an uncle to Timmy & Poof/peri while Felicity is like an older Sister / cousin to him (so you’re likely see a lot siblings interacting with Felicity Tommy and peri )

Now Felicity will be a much better and more fun teacher to Timmy & poof than Cocker ever was being as she Loves creativity (I mean being the art fairy that she is it’s something VERY important to one of her fairy jobs so she will encourage Timmy and poof/peri to be creative all the time and give stickers whenever she see them being creative) now Jimmy being as he starts letting fairies visit his lab ( although it’s mostly Timmy poof/peri Wanda cosmo Jorgen and felicity who do being as most other fairies are a little nervous around scientists thanks to crazy scientist who wanted to get their magic for controlling the universe back in their universe so you can understand why they try to stay away from Jimmy in fear; it also doesn’t help Danny’s had to come in to stop Jimmy from using ghosts in some of his studies on other universes; although thanks to his growing feelings for Timmy Jimmy has a soft spot for fairies and so any fairy studies he does is to mostly protect them from those who wish to use their magic for not so good things (like what Cocker tries to do)

When both Timmy and Jimmy becoming adults they start to date but while they’re teenagers Danny would tease Jimmy about his soft spot for fairies especially one buck tooth one

I can totally see Jimmy becoming quite the world renowned scientist that he’s probably like top known professor that probably gets asked a lot to help consult on many subjects and matters so he’s probably got his own huge lab to help keep the world safe and to help improve things in his universe while Danny with Trucker and Sam are the ones that even the government have to consult to deal with all ghost like things dealings in their universe

Now with SpongeBob not sure if much will change in his universe being as he’s already an adult when the first time the nicktoons unite games/gang was form but in later games Patrick star and Sam Squirrel did join in on the

Nicktoons games so we’ll probably see them come in with SpongeBob a bit as time goes on and they’re join in with same adventures for sure

I’m gonna guess they’ll get along great with Hazel in the fairly odd parents a new wish

Would like Danny tell Hazel how they 1st met Timmy Wanda and Cosmo and all the times they went on adventures with fairy kid Timmy with toddler Peri

Or how help Timmy and Peri learn how to use their powers with Felicity as a helping guide

Who knows Hazel might join the team with adult fairy Timmy and Danny with his kids a few times as well

Don’t think Danny and Jimmy would trust Dev so much though (Danny would be a little worried Dev would be a bad influence on his own kids and Jimmy doesn’t like how power hungry the kid seems to get at times)

Now Danny and Jimmy know anti fairies are bad news and hearing that Dev would rather have Irep instead of Peri because Irep doesn’t care about following the rules would rub them the wrong way

Think it’s not until they learn what Dale’s like do they feel bad for dev a bit

Danny Phantom but he's just,,,,,there.

He doesn't have the portal accident, his parents get the portal working but everything goes wrong and the portal is way too unstable and it's just fucked up

Ghosts are making their way through the portal all the time, and not all of them have good intentions. The portal is unstable and keeps expanding and nothing the Fentons are doing is helping.

Danny still goes vigilante. He has to. He can't just ignore it when there's ghosts hellbent on destruction stepping out of the portal in his basement. He can't ignore it when the portal won't stop growing.

And so he goes. He straps in his ghost fighting gear and his fenton blaster and his thermos. He tries talking to any and all ghosts, even Plasmius, to figure out what's happening.

He steps out of class when his spook detector goes off, even when he knows it means he won't be passing his classes. He gives up sleep, he gives up Nasa, he gives up his friends.

It isn't enough.

Ghosts keep coming through. Bigger and bigger each time and he knows that he cannot fight whatever's coming next. It'll be too big. It'll be too powerful. The ghost portal is more of a gash in the universe now, encompassing his whole house and neighborhood. Amity park is at its breaking point.

And everyone knows it.

And maybe that's why Plasmi– no, Vlad. Maybe that's why Vlad finally told him how the first portal accident went. Maybe that's why he told him how he had to suffer to appease the portal.

Because that's just how it is, isn't it? The portal needed a sacrifice. The portal needed a stabiliser.

They try animals first. All kinds of animals, from lab rats to cats to chimps. All thrown to the portal, one by one. Shoved in by the desperate hands of all the Amity parkers.

It's a bit like insanity, he thinks. Maybe this is how the people of pompeii felt when they prayed for salvation.

It doesn't work. He isn't surprised.

The portal needed a person.

His parents and Vlad had made the prototype portal way back in their college days. Vlad paid the price. His parents made this one too, and who does that leave?

Who does that leave? Not Jazz who raised him when his parents wouldn't, who hadn't ever cared about their parent's insane work. Not Tucker who hacked into GIW files, who helped him hunt ghosts even when he was nearly crying from fear. Not Sam, who went out on patrol with them every night, who patched him up when he couldn't.

No, not them.

The portal needed Danny.

Good Godfather Vlad AU - Part 4

Link to Part 1 Link to Part 2 Link to Part 3

This took way longer than I expected, but it is done!

@kaitouhime @krzys2000 @moobloomrights @spooky-fm @undead-essence @theblackcatscratchpost

Concerns and Realizations

The next day passes in a bit of a blur up to the evening dance in the old high school gym. He almost does not know what to do with his plans all crushed and swept away with the revelation earlier in the week. Vlad feels himself being tugged along as if in a dream he had long ago thrown away. It is almost like when they all first meet and Vlad found some of the first people to take his racing mind and sharp tongue as interesting not off putting.

He does notice that the Fenton’s son seems to be a little jumpy today. Glancing off at the ceiling, windows, and floor for some time before nervously going on with his time. Jack tells him aside away from prying eyes that Danny has been having some anxiety issues. Grades are dropping and he has become more accident prone to the point they bought an entire set of plastic plates and glasses. He has not been sleeping well with reports from teachers about him sleeping in class.

He and Maddie are trying to be very thoughtful about approaching him as he had issues in the past with bullies. It has not been going well as the boy keeps dodging the topic every time they try to talk to him about it. They want him to know he can talk to them about anything and they will support him. It is why they brought him and Jasmine to the reunion. A chance at a break from school and seemed just the thing to help.

Whenever he spots the boy it appears to get worse as the day goes on. What was easy to brush off as a nervous tick has become a real concern. By the evening Danny looks like he is expecting something to jump out and try to murder him. Vlad decides to try approaching Danny about it even if it is just to give him an excuse to get out of the Fenton’s smothering.

“How are you Danny? I can hardly imagine what you and the other children are very interested in watching all of us go about things from before you were born.”

The boy practically jumps, hands twitching towards something not there at his waist.

“Uh, yeah. This is pretty boring you would think after a few days everyone would be caught up by now.” Danny nervously answers.

“It has been quite a long time since many have seen each other. Not everyone can sum up a decade of time quickly.” Vlad says. Allowing the deflection to stand. Danny seems to be calming down a little.

“Say, do your parents still go on ghost hunting trips or did they stop after graduating?” Vlad asks in curiosity. Ghosts and the portal had become a taboo topic since the revelation earlier in the week. As soon as Vlad finishes asking Danny gets a long stare as if seeing something in the distance.

“Not too often anymore. I mean they don’t need to go someplace to hunt ghosts anymore. Now with Amity being so haunted since the portal opened.” Danny bitterly says.

“They actually got the portal to work!” Vlad exclaims in surprise.

“Yes, have they not gone over their greatest scientific breakthrough with you yet?” Danny answers with a surprised look.

“I don’t think they want to talk about it as it is close to the accident.” Vlad responds mind racing.

How did they get it to work? He had tried over the years to get a version of the portal to work himself. Tried different locations of thin spot to connect to it. After his powers started to manifest in a bid to get answers. It never worked. Not so much as a spark. Let alone something stable if it is causing an entire town to be haunted. His latest project to work was a short range tracker of sorts to locate the echos a natural portal left behind. It is how he was able to find the ghosts he had initially hired. Shaking away from that though he looks back at Danny.

“That is surprisingly emotionally intelligent of them.” Danny says.

“Did they ever get through the stabilization issue?” Vlad asked in curiosity.

“It just sort of stays open. They had to build a blast door to keep it sealed off. I am not sure how it stays open.” Danny responds.

“Fascinating.” Vlad says.

"I just wish it would keep the ghosts from coming through. Been weeks since I got to sleep without the alarm going off that something has come through." Danny sighs out.

"Ghosts have been coming through that regularly?" Vlad asks in curiosity.

Most of the natural portals he had gotten to study rarely let things through even the ones that stayed open for a week.

"It is like nearly every other day. Sometimes every day something even just an ectopus comes out. I just want to not have to deal with them so much " Danny says.

"Deal with them? I am surprised your mother has not caught enough to cataloged them in a scientific paper yet. It was always her dream to get tangable proof of ghosts." Vlad says.

"Yeah by ripping them apart molecule by molecule. I am sure eventually they will if they could keep them from escaping. Kinda hard to catch something that can slip through solid objects." Danny says turning away a bit.

Vlad nearly flinches at this. One hand going to grip his wrist as memories of the hospital surface. A slow bubbling horror of what his newly renewed friends would do if they found out he was part ghost. It would not even be on purpose. Just can you do this test Vlad? Only a little blood to look at under the scope. The panic spiral screeches to a halt when he sees the self soothing gesture that Danny is making.

Stepping closer to him in concern while shoving down his own fear to process latter he feels it. That flush of warmth that signals a ghost is nearby. Tensing he scans the room stepping closer to Danny. There should be no ghosts here. Had one of the ghosts he hired decided they were not happy with payment? It increases as he steps closer again to Danny. As the boy shivers and breaths out and a cloud of frost despite the warm room. That is the final missing puzzle piece that clicks into place for Vlad.

~ Sorry for the abrupt end to part four. I just needed to update it now despite the end not being quite where I wanted it to be. Better done than perfect~

#good godfather Vlad au #danny phantom #good godfather vlad #danny fenton #vlad masters #danny phantom au #the fentons are trying so very hard to not talk about ghosts to Vlad #it is really hard for them #Danny is just waiting for the ghost that has to be here to just show themselves #Vlad I am so sorry but you held it together!#Danny is about to gain a very protective godfather

What would your OCs' first impressions of Jasper be? Either like they run into Jasper out on the street, or they sprain their ankle or something and have Jasper as their nurse in the ER, or something completely different?

Hm, let me come up with something

Fox: Jasper would be looking over her minor wounds she's gotten from bounty hunting. Fox would come up with an excuse for all the injuries since you know she can't just casually say what actually happened. Accident while working or something. Jasper would sense something was off, but probably wouldn't push it much since Fox doesn't radiate off any serious anxiety or stress. Fox would of course use the right pronouns and thank them for treating her injuries. Jasper would tell her to try to be more careful next time. Probably the best nurse Fox has had.

Carina Shepherd: (after everything happens) She'd be walking down the street maybe carrying groceries and a bag would rip and stuff would fall out. Jasper sees and helps her gather all the stuff. Carina would thank them and insists she can carry it all back (she'll use her powers eventually when no one is looking) I think Carina would sense Jasper's abilities and be confused but not mention it. Kinda like how Spider-people can spidey sense each other. Anyway she'd think that Jasper was pretty friendly for a stranger and feel grateful for their kindness.

Dannie Karim: Jasper would see them sitting down in a store on one of the shelves and their nurse instincts would kick in. They'd notice Missy so all they would ask is if they're alright and if they need any candy. Dannie would say no thanks and that they already took something but still thinks they're very kind, and appreciate that they weren't paying attention to Missy. Dannie would notice their pronoun pin and point it out, saying they use they/them themselves and it's a quick moment of trans bonding.

Silas Petersson: Honesty he'd be out and about probably wearing a Ghost t-shirt (because he's a supportive boyfriend :3c) and idk I imagine Jasper would at least have heard of Ghost before? Maybe? And they'd probably compliment his band t-shirt. Silas would smile and thank them. And in return Silas would compliment their style.

Arith: Jasper would remind him of other people he knew/knows like neighbors and such, and there's a sense of familiarity there. I think also the fact that Jasper's a nurse would remind him of Iriel. I think he'd find their abilities very interesting.

Iriel: (I'm kinda switching it a tiny bit.) Would notice Jasper getting overwhelmed by a crowd and emotions. Iriel would try to help them get somewhere less crowded and maybe use her powers to give them a temporary calmness. Iriel would maybe try to ask them stuff to keep them distracted like talking about music and stuff. Eventually Jasper goes home and probably wonders for a while who she was and how did she do that.

Kaia: Would be asking Jasper for directions and Jasper would help. Kaia probably doesn't travel to the US a whole lot so.. Kaia would compliment their clothes and overall style. Jasper would probably compliment her tattoo.

Odel: She would be out buying flowers for Kaia and maybe Jasper would be doing the same for Kyle :D and Odel would ask them their opinion on two different bouquets because she's having trouble deciding and Jasper would help her a little. Odel would thank them and maybe try starting a conversation about the bouquet Jasper was getting.

Eliška Hasek: Maybe after she and the rest of the Guardians fight a threat, she doesn't have any bandage/wraps left on her for her hands, and Jasper would offer her some and help wrap her hands. Jasper would be concerned at her injuries but Eliška would give a brief explanation. Jasper understands it's chronic pain basically and feels sympathy. Eliška appreciates that they aren't freaked out about her powers and that they helped her.

Marigold Rosales: Honesty I couldn't think of a specific scenario, except maybe Marigold rescuing them from something but idk, but anyway I feel like Jasper would remind Marigold of one of her students. Of course she would be respectful about pronouns.

Rosie Rosales-Maximoff: She'd be at a park and offer some peas or other duck safe food to Jasper so they can also feed the ducks. Jasper would thank her and Rosie would explain that bread isn't good for them. Jasper could probably feel the happiness and bubbly-ness radiating off Rosie and find her optimism sweet. Rosie would think they're really cool and ask them if they know the bands Peter listens to.

Allison Dahir: Allison's at the doctor or something after she got a particular rough scrape from skating. (She has fast healing but her parents wanted her to get it looked at and bandaged anyway) Jasper would help her and they'd bond over rollerskating. Jasper would probably give them some tips and honestly Allison would probably look up to them and think they're so cool.

Lee Quinn: Jasper would be her nurse at just a check up or something. Like when they do all the usual height, weight, blood pressure stuff? Idk if that's accurate but anyway Lee would use the right pronouns and probably give Jasper an apologizing look as her mother is being kinda transphobic. Jasper would mainly worry about Lee, sensing a lot of negative emotions from her, like more than usual. Jasper afterwards would hope everything would be okay for her. I don't know how much authority nurses have over that compared to doctors... and Lee looked physically fine anyway so there might not be anything that could be done. (Sorry I made it sad)

#sorry this took so long #answered asks #pringle answers #practically an xman #jasper wilson #not my oc #not my ocs #oc: fox #carina shepherd // beatrice maddison #dannie karim #silas petersson #pringles good omens ocs #eliška hasek #xmen oc au #lee quinn

ep 19 : million dollar ghost feels like it's supposed to be the season finale, what with vlad being the main villain and him going after the key for pariah's keep. but the production order says this one goes first, so i guess that's what we're rolling with!

the fucking alarm going off in the school to announce there's a ghost on campus and jazz shouting "DANNY HIDE" only for danny to go ?????whY?? had me REELING. like he doesn't even care and jazz is hyperventilating on HIS behalf.

the main plot of the episode is always fun when vlad is involved. pinning a bounty on danny's head to fuck with him and his family is absolutely villainous and cruel. especially cause vlad is just out for blood while danny is only reacting to being hunted down. poor kid knows there's a target on his back, and i feel like if this show was written a few years later, he would've said "dude go to therapy" as a comeback.

there was one scene that seriously caught my eye. vlad essentially electrocutes danny to a point of almost losing consciousness and turning back to being human. but either danny, barely hanging on to being awake, stopped the transformation part way and kept himself as phantom. or vlad SOMEHOW STOPPED IT??? i'm going with the latter bc im p sure danny had no conscious control over that. especially because he's so drained afterwards that he can't even fight back when he gets tossed into the pile of ghost hunters. but that just makes me question HOW vlad did that. like that is another person's autonomy!!!! you just STOPPED IT BECAUSE YOU CAN???? HOW

jack fenton continues to be such a fantastic character. he's so bull-headed about being an expert on ghosts, it's leading to him fucking shit up by accident. he means well, but at least he's able to acknowledge when he's screwed up. it makes the scene with danny tryna cheer him up by "surrendering" as the ghost boy hit just a little harder. his son's opinion of him matters so much to him, that even the ghost boy presenting himself as free prey didnt get him out of a bad mood until maddie literally put the prize in his hands. she's by far the better ghost hunter between them, but she cares more about her husband's pride that she literally gives the credit to him for capturing the ghost boy. it's so sweet to watch, even though you have to subconsciously accept that they just put their son in a fucking vacuum and they have no idea he's in that tiny ass box.

also another example of danny's anatomy just being fucked because of ghost powers, bc how the fuck did he fit in that box otherwise.

anyway, danny convincing jack to let him out of the vacuum thing because he throws himself under the bus and essentially bashes his human self for constantly forgetting to do chores, including replacing the ectro-filtrator on the ghost portal, was fucking funny. david kaufman seriously needs more props for the absolute blunt line deliveries he does, because i am WHEEZING.

the episode has fun antics, but despite the bounty on danny's head, it doesn't actually put much on the serialization? yeah, they've established that danny is elusive and a ghost that a LOT of people have eyes on. he even calls himself public ghost enemy number one. but not much sticks. especially bc jack sorta just forgets about this temporary alliance he has with phantom in future episodes and goes back to shooting on sight. besides getting definitive proof that phantom is well-meaning and doesn't wanna cause havoc. still, fun episode, danny getting compressed into a box is hilarious.

yknow what I'm cataloging my feelings as i rewatch every danny phantom episode, here we go

#danny phantom #storm rewatches his childhood #ep 19 #review #i was genuinely surprised valerie wasnt in here #but i guess they didnt wanna lump her with the joke ghost hunters and thus paint her as a joke too #but i guess if i was in the writers room and that was the reason given to me as to why she isnt in the episode #id just consider rewriting the whole episode #because it sounds EXACTLY like something valerie would want to do #especially bc the previous episode establishes that she tried to understand ghosts and trusted phantom for a brief period #but if there was a bounty on his head? and she lives in a rundown apartment because her family is broke?#the melodrama of going back on her trust because she needs to make ends meet has all sorts of potential #danny trying not to get caught because he knows something bad will happen if he is #but also he understands valerie is in a shitty living situation indirectly because of him #but then again feeling betrayed because she JUST had a bonding moment with his ghost self #idk the pieces were just laying on the floor dont blame me for putting them together

Awakes from her long-ass nap on Tumblr

I’ve seen people in the Phandom mentionning how Val’s suit could become sentient after Flirting with Disaster but I’ve never seen someone going into the meat of it (unless I’ve missed that one golden post about it).

Anyway, I present to you...

SPAWN, the Support Ghost Kamui Parasite

After Technus gave her a new “upgrade” on her suit, a new being made of ectoplasm, blood and nanobots was born. This ghost parasite now lives Valerie’s every moment and tainted her whole arsenal with their presence.

At first, Valerie was incomfortable with the idea of a speaking ghost nanoparasite within her at any time, especially with how she became the Red Huntress. However, the “ghost” wasn’t harmful towards her. In fact, they wanted to help her as long as she feeds them with some of her strong emotions. Overtime, the two get to understand each other and develop a whole new arsenal.

Click on the Read More to have a few infos on Spawn

Overall facts on Spawn

Spawn is a ghost nanoparasite that can shapeshift into her new enhanced jumpsuit. When Val doesn’t wear the jumpsuit, Spawn can change into her signature headband

In order to give powers to Valerie, Spawn needs two things: Strong emotions they can get thanks to Val’s anger towards other ghosts and Trust: Both has to trust eachother to work things out. The more “syncronized” they are, the stronger they’ll be

If there’s an overload of strong emotions (anger for example), Spawn can no longer control themselves and will “consume” Valerie to become an eldritch abomination fueled by whatever emotion triggered the overload.

Power-wise, they can bring any kind of technology and arsenal into existence. Along with that, Spawn can make Valerie intangible or invisible(He can’t do both)

Althought he can speak, only Valerie and ghosts could hear him.

When Valerie has to stop a ghost, Spawn "swallows” her whole in nanoshadows before the red parts glows and reveal themselves.

After a fight, Spawn “melts” and goes back to her shadow. Only the head section gets sucked into her headband.

Bonus facts about Spawn, Valerie and the rest of the cast

Spawn helps her on mostly anything, whether it’s ghost hunting or not

Valerie grew fond of the nanoghost and he’s known as the only exception to her hatred towards ghosts

Spawn has no problem with Danny but they doesn’t like his puns. Not the puns themselves but the quantity to be accurate: Too much puns kill the PUN, Twinky Invisobill!

Their instincts tells them that Danny and Phantom are related. Valerie doesn’t believe in that

Spawn coined the latest nickname for Phantom: Twinky Invisobill

Danny fucking hates that nickname to the point he hisses with sunken green eyes towards whoever said it. (and that’s the best case scenario...)

Skulker called Phantom Twinky Invisobill instead of whelp for a whole fight once. He almost died...

Wes can’t believe Valerie has a ghost headband on her head and felle completely fine( Of course, nobody believes in him)

Valerie and Spawn’s favorite anime is Kill la Kill hands down. This surreal anime somehow “teaches” her how keep a sane relationship between the two.

The idea of a ghost’s perception affecting their appearance applies to Spawn: He used to look like a black slime until they watched KLK. From now on, Spawn somehow looks like Senketsu (especially when Val changes into Red). This is due to them seeing the Kamui as a potential role model.

Valerie incorporated some of Ryuko’s moveset into her attacks.

Danny has to keep up with her by also watching the anime.

Phantom can be seen sleeping like a bat on lamppoles. If you want to take a photo, deactivate the flash and sound at all costs. If you don’t, he’ll look at you with pure green eyes and hisses at you until you’re gone.

What's In A Name

okay, this took me longer than I expected... but here is the fic based on this post

Title: What's In A Name

Summary: Danny thought that having a sub in class would make things easier. Unfortunately, this leads to everyone finding out that his first name isn't Daniel.

His class isn't taking the news very well.

word count: 1670

you can read it on AO3 or down below the cut!

Oh, and I guess I'll tag the people from that post: @spookberry @shinygoldstar

Danny had just gotten to school and was getting his supplies for first period when Tucker ran up with way more excitement for this early in the morning.

“Dude, you’re never going to believe it!”

“Believe what?” Danny asked with an amused grin.

“Lancer took a sick day since the first time in forever!”

Danny felt like he was missing something.

Tucker rolled his eyes when Danny didn’t react correctly, “Subs, man. We have subs.”

“In all of his classes?” Danny asked as the news finally sunk in.

“Yup.” Tucker said with confidence as he popped the ‘p’.

“I have so many classes with him.”

“I know dude, me too!” He wrapped his arm around Danny’s shoulder, “Which means that today is going to be a breeze.”

Danny smiled and couldn’t help getting excited about a nice easy day at school.

================================================

His first class was easy.

The sub seemed just as tired as they were and simply checked that they were in their assigned seats and handed out a worksheet for them to do.

Once the teacher made it clear that they didn’t care if they worked together or not, it turned into more of a hang-out session than actually getting much work done.

================================================

His second period was science which he didn’t have with Mr. Lancer so he actually had to pay attention.

It was a lab day and he was still banned for life from handling all fragile school property, so the lab they had was a bit difficult until the teacher remembered (was reminded) and let him team up with Mikey.

All he had to do was take notes on what was happening. Which was fine. He could do that no problem.

All Mikey asked was for his handwriting to be legible.

================================================

It was his third class that ruined everything. It had all been going so well until then.

The teacher had decided to ignore the seating chart list and did roll by reading off the class roster list on the computer. Which in theory would be fine, except that the computer list didn’t have the notes that Mr. Lancer had added over the year, things like nicknames for instance.

It would have been fine if she had called him Daniel. It would have reminded him of Vlad, which would have been annoying, but manageable.

Unfortunately his first name isn’t Daniel.

“Johnathan?”

Everyone perked up at the name. They looked around, confusion evident on all of their faces. There was no Johnathan in this class. No John or Johnny’s. Was this a secret classmate? It couldn’t be, all the seats were full and no one here was Johnathan.

The teacher sighed and tried again, “Johnathan Fenton?”

Danny perked up and raised his hand, “Here. Sorry. I just um, everyone calls me Danny. Or Daniel, or just Fenton.” he realized he had been rambling and apologized again.

He looked down at his desk still embarrassed that he sort of forgot his own first name for a second. Then he felt like he was being watched.

He looked up and realized everyone, but Tucker, who was too busy chuckling to himself, was staring at him with varying degrees of confusion and anger. Sam included.

The class said nothing. Only stared for the remainder of the roll call.

Once the teacher was finished, and before they could truly start class, Dash was the first to break the silent tension. “Your name is Johnathan?!”

“Yes?” Danny answered hesitantly as he leaned away from the angry jock. Normally Dash wasn’t much of a threat anymore after all the ghost hunting, but he couldn’t exactly use his powers in the middle of class.

“Since when?!”

“Birth?”

“No!” Dash countered.

“Look, I’m named after my dad and it’s too confusing if we both go by the same name, so we just use my middle name instead.”

“But your dad’s name is Jack.”

“Which is short for Johnathan,” Danny explained with a sigh.

Dash sputtered in confused annoyance. Apparently, he didn’t know that either.

Before he could get too angry about his lack of knowledge, the teacher made it clear that they were going to start class now.

Dash glared at Danny and pointed an accusatory finger at him, “I don’t believe you, Fenton.”

“Okay?” Danny shrugged it off and the rest of the class went back to ignoring him.

Except for Sam.

She was still glaring at him.

“What?” Danny mouthed not a hundred percent sure as to what his gothic friend was upset about.

She flipped open her notebook hard enough for the paper cover to slap against the desk and furiously scribbled something down before tearing out the page and quickly folding it like a ninja star and chucking it at his head.

He carefully unfolded the note and read it.

“Are you serious?! Is this some elaborate prank?”

Danny looked up to Sam in surprise and then back to the note.

“No really. That is my name.” he wrote before trying his best to fold the note back up as she had it. He really wasn’t as good at it as she was.

She wrote her response quickly and made a point to get the creases of the folds just right. “Then why is Tucker laughing?”

“I don’t know? I’m not a mind reader Sam.”

“Did he know?”

“Yeah.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

He didn’t really understand why she was so upset by this. It didn’t really matter. Did it? “I wasn’t keeping it a secret. I just forgot.”

“Forgot what? That it was your name or that I didn’t know?”

He hesitated too long and Tucker finally snatched the note from him and read it over before snickering to himself and added his own two cents before tossing it back to Sam.

Finally, Sam smiled. With a roll of her eyes, she slipped the note into the pocket of her notebook and went to doodling like nothing was wrong.

Danny wasn’t really sure what that was all about, but he was glad it was over.

================================================

The rest of the day was mostly fine. His friends teased him about his full name occasionally throughout the day, but it was nothing he couldn’t handle.

Dash kept giving him the stink eye, which was weird, but better than being shoved into his own locker.

Lunch was a bit of a disaster once Tucker let out his inner bookie and started holding bets on what Danny’s real name was.

There were three options.

One was that his name was really Daniel and he was just pranking everyone somehow.

The second was that his name really was Johnathan and he was telling the truth because Fenton can’t tell a lie to save his life.

While the third was that he had a completely different name and may or may not be related to the Fenton’s at all.

Danny wasn’t sure if he should be finding all of this hilarious or just plain annoying. Maybe it was one of those, ‘we’ll laugh about it when we’re older’ things?

Of course, word spread fast and everyone was trying to figure out what the real answer was. No one was asking Danny, because they weren’t sure if he actually was a reliable source. Tucker refused to give the answer until the end of the day when he would reveal the winners. And Sam admitted that all of the name nonsense was news to her, but since she loved chaos, she would wink and add, “But it could be true.”

Danny realized too late that the only other person to ask before the end of the day was his sister.

Before he could get to her, someone else beat him to it.

Dash had cornered her just outside of the library and asked, “What’s your brother’s name,” without any preamble.

Of course, Jazz, being two years older than them and in none of their classes, had no idea what had been going on. So she answered the question as best she could despite the confusion, “Danny?”

“Ha! I knew he was a liar!” Dash boasted as he turned around and punched his fist into his open palm as he eyed Danny.

“Wait!” He called out to Dash before turning his attention to his sister, “He means my first name!”

“Oh,” she turned to Dash, “Why didn’t you just say that?”

Dash’s shoulders slumped in defeat, “his name isn’t Danny?”

“His middle name is, but not his first name.” she turned back to Danny, “Didn’t you explain it?”

“Of course I did! He just didn’t believe me! And now the whole school is losing their minds because they think this is some crazy prank or that I’m a liar or something.”

Danny sighed and composed himself before giving the warning as he had meant to, “Tucker is taking bets on what my name is so other people might ask you about it too.”

Jazz hummed thoughtfully to herself while nodding, “I’ll keep that in mind.”

“You are going to tell them the truth right?”

“Of course,” she said but she still had that far-off look in her eye.

Danny figured he would probably regret asking, but he was just too curious, “what are you thinking about?”

“This is very interesting from a psychological perspective, don’t you think?”

“How?”

“Well by learning that what they assumed to be true, wasn’t, it has shifted their perspective on things.”

“Do you really think it’s that deep?”

“What do you think it is then?” she asked, not annoyed that her theory was being questioned, just curious.

“I think people just like drama.”

“Perhaps.” she said as she watched a dejected Dash walk away, “and maybe it’s a bit of both.”

“Whatever it is I hope it goes away tomorrow.” he walked away and wondered if this was a preview as to what would happen if his secret got out.

He stopped in his tracks with a sigh. No, if they found out he was really Danny Phantom it would be worse. So much worse.

Fictional Throwdown Friday: Season 2 Finale

This Week's Fighters...

Pariah Dark vs Dan Phantom

Conditions:

Pariah Dark does not have access to Crown of Fire, only the Ring of Rage. Fight takes place in Pariah's Keep.

Scenario:

Dan manages to escape from Clockwork's Keep and begins planning his vengeance on Danny. Worried that Danny may have gotten more powerful while he was gone, Dan goes to Pariah's Keep to steal the Ring of Rage from him. Pariah has no intention of surrendering his power or kingdom to Dan and attacks him when Phantom accidentally wakes him up.

Analysis: Dan

Danny Phantom, real name Danny Fenton, was always destined to have an abnormal life. When his ghost hunting parents created a portal to the Ghost Zone, yound Danny Fenton was caught inside it when it started up, accidentally turning him into the half-ghost hero Danny Phantom. Unfortunately for him, in this timeline, his tenure as a hero was destined to end in tragedy.

After an accident at the Nasty Burger restaurant killed his family, Danny was forced to live with his Arch-Enemy Vlad Masters. In a rare moment of humanity, Vlad sympathized with Danny’s pain and offered to remove it for him. By separating his ghost and human halves, Vlad hoped to remove Danny’s painful human emotions.

It worked… too well.

Now free from his humanity, Phantom ripped Vlad’s ghost half from him and fused with it, transforming into the monsterous Dan Phantom. Destroying Vlad’s home and murdering his human half, Dan ventured out around the globe to begin massacring humanity in relish.

In terms of raw power, Dan is difficult to place, as he lacks any proper feats of his own from which he can be properly scaled. As such, I’ll need to make some assumptions.

As of Season 2, Danny’s most impressive calculated feat is the crater he created in the first episode while fighting the Lunch Lady, a sizable 533 tons of tnt.

Source:

Since Vlad Plasmius is shown to be far stronger than Danny at this point, even capable of beating him one handed, I’ll assume he’s at least twice as strong at 1066 tons of tnt. Seeing how Dan is both their ghost forms combined, his power should be at the bare minimum 1599 tons of tnt. Keep in mind, this does not account for Danny’s demonstrated ability to get stronger over time or the ten years that Dan has to develop his powers, so he’s likely much stronger than that, but this is the best number I can give him as those things aren’t really quantifiable.

Dan has demonstrated to have all the powers of his individual counterparts (as of Season 2 anyways). This includes his basic Intangibility, invisibility, flight, body manipulation, ectoplasm manipulation, body possession, and regeneration. Dan should be capable of regenerating from luiquification and being turned to dust, something that other weaker ghosts have shown to do and something Danny himself has done, and, unlike his halfa counterpart, Dan’s regeneration cannot be nullified by beating him back into human form. Dan can create holes in his body and swivel his neck around, has shown to generate storms with his presence (see the swirling sky during his fight with Danny at the Nasty Burger, which was not present before Dan revealed himself), and he can duplicate himself at least up to four times, splitting his energy between each duplicate. It is unknown if Dan can duplicate as many times as Vlad can in Season 3, but it is likely, meaning he can create enough duplicates to possess an entire town. He even retains Danny’s ability to sense nearby ghosts, although, it’s unknown if he has Danny’s later developed ice powers.

As far as powers unique to Dan goes, he can shapeshift to disguise as his younger self, can create portals to the ghost zone by himself, can forcibly fuse objects inside of people’s bodies, and can nullify the natural regeneration of most ghosts, such as when he broke Johnny 13’s spine or destroyed Ember’s vocal cords. What’s worse, is that as a result of his timeline eventually being erased, Dan now exists outside of time entirely so long as he has the Time Medallion on him, meaning he’s immune to time manipulation entirely and can freely time travel. However, taking this medallion away from him will likely erase him from existence entirely, as it’ll bind him to the rules of regular time again.

None of this is even counting his most powerful ability, his Ghostly Wail. This massive soundwave generated from his vocal cords is capable of descimating entire armies with ease.

As you can see, Dan is a hax machine with superpowers galore, but what makes him truly deadly is his knowledge of how to use them. While it’s shown that he does not retain Vlad’s memories (as he doesn’t know where Vlad’s ghost portal is) he does retain Danny’s, and thus has all the experience of fighting off the most powerful ghosts Amity Park has ever seen. Dan Phantom is most evil being to exist in both the human world and the ghost zone. A one man apocalypse who single handedly wiped out the human race, Dan Phantom is the most vile and powerful ghost young Danny Phantom ever had to face.

Analysis: Pariah

Countless centuries ago, long before most ghosts came into being, a terrible power came into being within the land of the dead. No one knew where it came from and no one knew who he was before he died, but they all feared his name. This twisted and barbaric Ghost King dominated all that stood in his way, forcing all to kneel before the wrath of Pariah Dark.

In desperation, a group of powerful and ancient ghosts banded together to otherthrow the tyrannical king, locking him away inside the sarcophagus of forever sleep. However, thanks to the shortsighted meddling of the villain Vlad Plasmius, Pariah Dark was awakened once more. And this time, he didn't intend to simply rule the dead. Both the Ghost and the human world would bow to him if he had his way.

Standing tall as one of the strongest ghosts on history, Pariah has all the powers of a typical ghost amplified tenfold. Intangibility, Body Manipulation, Ectoplasm Manipulation, and many more powers lie at his finger tips to be used at a moment's notice, but he rarely needs to step onto the field of battle himself. He can summon a horde of loyal skeleton warriors to fight by his side, invading and subjugating entire worlds at his command. Although, when Pariah does need to get his hands dirty, he has a variety of awesome abilities at his command to dominate his enemies.

Pariah is a giant on the battlefield, capable of gripping both Danny Phantom and Vlad Plasmius in a single hand. He can manifest storms with his face on them into existence, even in areas that nullify ghost powers and leave even beings as power as Vlad Plasmius incapable of using their powers. He can summon a mace to his hand and manipulate mid air to hit opponents from a distance. He can even warp space itself to teleport entire towns into the Ghost Zone.

But, the true reason Pariah is so feared has to do with his unrelenting power. Pariah Dark stands alone as the sole being in existence strong enough to command before the Ring of Rage and Crown of Fire. Upon his reawakening, the entire Ghost Zone fled in fear of him, completely powerless to stop him from destroying their homes. But most impressively of all, Pariah could, with a single blast, knock out both Vlad Plasmius and Danny Phantom simultaneously.

What's more, Pariah could struggle evenly against an ecto-skeleton equipped Danny Phantom who had only 10% power remaining, making him a solid ten times stronger than the halfa. That means, with every blow, Pariah is throwing around 5330 tons of power.

Pariah Dark stands as one of the most powerful ghosts in the history of the Ghost Zone, an apocalyptic threat which even the combined efforts of Danny Phantom and Vlad Plasmius barely overcame.

Fight Theme:

Throwdown Breakdown:

Much like Dan's last foray into the Throwdown arena, this fight is very much a hax vs strength fight, though not to the same extent. Since both fighters are ghosts, neither character has any inherent physiological advantages over the other. However, Dan still has a greater range of powers to help him contend with Pariah's superior strength.

Both are immensely stronger than Season 2 Danny, with Dan being 3x stronger than Danny while Dark is 10x. However, comparing the numbers that actually gives us, 1599 vs 3500, Pariah is only 3x stronger than Dan. That's a large gap, sure, but not an insurmountable one. Think of Danny's own fights with Vlad as a good comparison.

Then there's both characters familiarity with the other to consider. I feel Pariah is likely smart enough to recognize that that Dan used to be Danny, whereas Dan would have Danny's memories of fighting Pariah. Knowing just how much a threat the other fighter is would likely encourage each to fighter more cautiously than they do typically. Dan wouldn't me smugly mocking Pariah like he would Danny or Valerie, as they were comparatively helpless against him, whereas Pariah wouldn't be quite as much of an aggressive onslaught as he was when Danny fought him.

What makes this such a genuine head scratcher is that both characters have such good answers for what the other brings to the table. Pariah's skeleton army and Dan's ghostly wail counter each other out quite well. Not only do I not think Dan's ghostly wail could obliterate his entire army in one go, as even full power Ecto-skeleton Danny was briefly overwhelmed by their sheer numbers, but the Ghostly Wail is also liable to leave him open to attacks from Pariah or his telekinesis. Duplication solves that issue, but at the cost of making duplicate less powerful, worsening the already considerable strength gap.

Having said that, I think Dan is smarter and more skilled. Pariah has been conquering for longer, yes, but Dan has better fighting experience. During his time as Danny, Dan frequently had to outwit enemies far stronger than he was, taking down foes with countless years of experience over him with cunning and quick thinking, Pariah himself included. Secondly, he most consistently demonstrates clever and creative use of his powers, using his basic ghost skills in ways Pariah has never shown to do.

And finally, Dan's ability to nullify ghost regeneration is canceled out by Parish's resistance to ghost nullifying weapons, like when he created a storm inside the ghost shield.

The thing that just barely makes this Dan's fight however, is two major factors.

1. Dan's ability to get stronger the longer he fights, as demonstrated during Danny's first fight with the Fright Knight, going from harmlessly bouncing off the Knight to hurting him on equal footing. The longer this fight goes, the less useful Pariah's greatest advantage will be.

2. How both characters are viewed by Clockwork. We are never given any canonical proof that Clockwork is one of the Ancients that sealed Pariah away. That's fan speculation. As such, we don't know exactly how big a threat he considered Pariah. However, of the two of them, Dan is the one that he and the Observers deemed a big enough threat to retcon out of existence. Dan, not Pariah, is the foe considered important enough to alter the timeline for, even with all the chaos Pariah caused. The all seeing master of time considers Dan a much bigger threat than Pariah.

Having said that, Dan is going to come out if this fight battered and bleeding. The fight will be long and his victory would be hard earned and painful. It is entirely possible that Dan gets pounded into the ground before he can pull all his tricks. But, six times out of ten, the odds still favor Dan Phantom.

This Throwdown's Winner is...

Dan Phantom!

“Wish I was Bruce, but this is bad, if we don’t treat your son’s core corruption, well, Ghost Cores are essentially one’s Immortal Soul Bruce, and the corruption could destroy it if left to long.” Jack took out a blocky, robust looking phone from his pocket, fingers flying across the numbers as Maddie gently grabbed his arm and pulled him over to a chair.

“What’s your son’s name? And don’t try pulling any of that Batman nonsense on us, we already had two people with secret identities we had to figure out and I think this is the time to bulldoze over yours, sorry.” Bruce felt panicked, his heart was thundering in his chest, but then he remembered.

“Twice?” Maddie smiled.

“Our Youngest two, they’re, well, Jack and I made a mistake and then Vlad, you remember him right?” Bruce did remember Vlad Masters, awkward, and falling just as hard and fast as Jack was for Maddie. “He cloned Danny, that’s how we got Ellie, eventually, we were quite wrong on a myriad of things, but long story short we found out Danny and Ellie were two of the ghosts we had hunted after the portal opened, and it took us an embarrassingly long time to figure it out. So no pulling any of that mysterious Bull on me Bruce!” Bruce laughed, a bit hysterically I’d he was honest, and Maddie’s grip on him tightened slightly as he pulled himself together.

“Alright, I should, I should call a family meeting.” Maddie nodded at that, Jack was having a rapid fire conversation on his phone as he hovered near them, checking over Bruce as the facade that separated Bruce Wayne and Batman fell and a far more accurate person filled those shoes, a Father now realizing how badly things could go. “Can you call Alfred?” Maddie nodded to him as Jack hung up his phone and sat back down beside Bruce, one of his massive hands falling onto his shoulder as Maddie went to get Alfred.

Bruce was still stunned how easily they had apparently seen through him, the fact that their two youngest had been heroes at one point made him think of the ways that they would have been tipped off. Then Jack began to speak.

“Alright, so you say one of your boys has been affected by the corrupted ectoplasm, is it Jason? I’d heard that…” Bruce nodded and Jack took a long breath, giving Bruce time as he began speaking again. “I’m now expert, but when do you think he was taken from his grave?” Bruce scratched his scalp, rubbing his fingers through his hair as Alfred and Maddie entered.

“I’ve called everyone Master Bruce, are you alright?” Bruce shook his head slightly, he’d recovered but it was like having one’s greatest fears put on display.

“I’m getting there, Jason was resurrected before he was placed into the pit, he was, absent though, brain dead practically from what I’ve heard.” Jack nodded.

“Sounds like he came back a revenant, a spirit of Vengence, usually they’re able to control themselves but Corrupted Ectoplasm could cut all sanity from them, Joker may be sane and plead the opposite, but this sort of thing may genuinely been a massive emotionally powered berserk state. Have any of your other children been resurrected by these, pits?” Bruce thought of lying, and decided to meet them halfway.

“I’ll tell you when everyone’s here, I don’t want to expose anyone else if a core doctor is unneeded.” Jack nodded. “What’s a Core Doctor?” Alfred, who had been listening asked.

“We have souls,” Jack began, pulling out a note pad and sketching a rough outline of a person. “We all have souls, many animals can’t become ghosts, not enough intelligence or emotional sophistication, I think, the reasons can vary, but in short when you die you’re soul goes to an afterlife to which you belong, or the In Between of the Infinite Realms. I’m on a tangent,” Jack shook his head. “We have souls, when we die those souls coalesce in the Infinite Realms, or Ghost Zone as some call it now a days, and make Ghosts, everyone whose died, especially here or in Amity given the high ectoplasm, has become a Ghost with very low levels of non ghost manifestation possibilities. The Core of your soul is the new housing of, you, essentially, and the ambient ectoplasm around it is used to make a new body, clothes, tools, etc. for the new Ghost. If that Core is damaged or becomes infected well, the soul takes an equal hit, the more it’s damaged the worse the infection gets, Ellie was very sick, her core wasn’t stable due to her being a clone, Frostbite, he’s an inhabitant of the Zone, not dead but VERY ecto contaminated, he’d probably get sick if he came out here, he’s a doctor, has cures for everything from measles to the Kryptonian Core Plagues that destroyed the planet. He can probably explain it better than I can though.” Alfred blinked and sat down in his chair, set slightly off to the side of the door, pinching his chin slightly.

“Jack you forgot to tell them that Frostbite and his tribe are Yetis.” Bruce felt like he was in a room without anything protecting his eyes and ears, getting flash banged a dozen times, each new piece of info hammering him harder than the last.

“Who did you call?” Jack lit up slightly, pride and joy in his eyes as he shook his phone.

“He’s in the Infinite Realms today, working on something, but Danny should be able to get Frostbite ready for an appointment then come over with one of the Autodocs that Frostbite and some folks working at the Hospital made during a particularly bad flu season, Ghost Illness mixed with Living Illness, it sucked. But Danny should be here in about an hour give or take, maybe less if he’s got one of his friends, Wulf? Yeah Wulf, Ghost of a Werewolf one of our ancestors killed a long time ago, he’s a good guy but he’s stuck in his state, though the plus side for us is that he can make temporary rifts between the Infinite Realms and our Dimension, which will cut down on travel time and probably avoid some of the more uppity ghosts.” Bruce decided to run with relevant information from that. Danny was doing something in this Dimension of the Dead, he could grab diagnostic supplies there and without extra assistance be here in an hour, if his assistance, that being Wulf, was available he could be here in a much shorter span of time. Bruce stood.

“We should get ready, is there anything we’ll need if we go into the Infinite Realms?” Wulf may be a variable unknown but having the information on what to do would be good.

“Food,” Maddie began, “Suits able to resist radiation, Hazmat is preferable,” she plucked at her own HAZMAT suit, as high tech as it looked Bruce could still see the upper hood and eye protection hanging onto her back, “and maybe a weapon or two, my Grandfather became a Ghost, Warden Walker is what everyone there calls him, he’s essentially the head of law enforcement and he’s been stuck running with an outdated book he can’t modify due to one of its rules being no new or modified rules, one of them that has been recently modified is “no UNNECESSARY items from the Living Realm” which means everything else should be good, as long as you believe in your soul that every piece is necessary. Hopefully you won’t have to deal with him but if you do let myself or Danny talk to him, he is technically in charge of dealing with Corrupted Ectoplasm until we find out where the ghosts that ran the waste treatment facilities in the realm went, and they’ve been gone since the Trojan war.” Bruce cringed at that last bit slightly but nodded along, the dead still knew the living, still cared as they had, probably best for everyone that Maddie and Danny speak with they’re ancestor.

The sound of running the door to the garage opening was faintly heard, and Bruce could swear he heard one of the Batcave entrances opening and closing as Alfred stood to go collect his grandchildren charges and bring them up to speed.

(I’ll probs not continue this for a while, currently using mobile)

Short DPXDC Prompts #652

Bruce met up with his old college colleagues, Jack and Maddie Fenton. Little did he know that they had changed. They smile a bit too wide and with far too many teeth. their movements are far too fluid, its almost hypnotic how seamlessly they move. The couples eyes gleam with madness and love for each other. They are no longer human, that Bruce is certain of, but they are still the brilliant people he was friends with all those years ago.

All These Scattered Gems

For Dannymay 2021 Day 4: Stars

“They can’t be real stars,” insisted Maddie, her voice tinny and static in Danny’s ear.

He paused, grimacing, and adjusted the frequency again. Something must have gotten knocked loose inside the Fenton Phones in the last fight he got into. “I didn’t say that was what they were,” he said, “I was just telling you what they look like. And they look like stars.”

Danny did tend to consider himself a bit of an expert when it came to whether or not something looked like a star. Astronomy was a special interest of his, after all.

(Despite the best efforts of both his parents and the doctors of the Far Frozen, efforts to decide whether or not he had a true, ghostly Obsession had been inconclusive. Danny was okay with that if he was being honest. Which he usually wasn’t.)

“Hm,” said Maddie. “That isn’t coming across very well in the video.”

“Mads, our video is half static that far from the portal.”

Maddie sighed. “Make sure you take pictures, sweetie.”

“I remember,” said Danny, who had forgotten. “The sky looks darker over there, too. It almost looks like real night. I wonder if someone did it on purpose?”

When Danny had first come clean to his parents about being half-ghost, he hadn’t really had any expectations that it would change his probable future. Which he had predicted to consist of a series of depressing, minimum wage jobs that he would keep losing due to ghost hunting.

His parents had something to say about that however, and although Danny had never really wanted to inherit Fentonworks or ghost hunting as a profession (ironic, he knew) he did like the exploration and science parts. Quite a bit, actually. And since he’d never be able to become an astronaut… Well. This was pretty good, too.

Especially since he was getting paid.

(All the extra equipment he had to bring with him to make forays into the Zone ‘experimentally useful’ was a bit of a drag, though. Literally, sometimes. The stuff was heavy.)

“Okay,” said Danny. “I’m going to get closer.”

The lights ahead of him really were starlike… but they were, as expected, much closer. The nearest of them stopped being pinpricks and started looking like tiny disks after just a few minutes of determined flight.

“Danny? Sweetie? You might want to slow down a little. Those speeds are rough on our sensors.”

Danny sighed, but complied.

Ghost cores were weird. Really weird. At least part of the weirdness was that, most of the time, they didn’t exist in either the Ghost Zone or ‘normal’ reality, but instead were tucked away in private self-generated pocket dimensions.

Ghost bodies were formed around the entrances to those pocket dimensions and would shift to accommodate the core that generated them, but usually didn’t actually house the core. It was a safety thing, and the reason ghosts could have their entire body destroyed only to pop up a few days later, perfectly fine.

Danny’s parents had been studying the phenomenon off and on, trying to compare it to ghostly lairs, which were also pocket dimensions. Or universes. The distinction was unclear. They’d been having trouble collecting data, however, as most ghosts would not blithely give such intimate information to ghost hunters, no matter how reformed they claimed to be.

After all, ghost cores were the equivalent of a ghost’s brain. One might even say their soul.

Danny was getting off track.

All this to say that Danny really should not have been able to physically feel his core.

He braked, ‘skidding’ to a stop.

“Danny?” said Maddie, sounding concerned. “Are you alright? Our instruments picked up a power spike…”

“I’m fine,” said Danny, pressing his fingers to his chest. Whatever he had felt was gone. “Just… a weird feeling.” He looked back up at the ‘stars.’ Some of them looked like little coins, now.

“How weird?”

“Like, I could have imagined it,” said Danny. “Timing is a bit strange, though, with that power surge. This might be a ‘Fisher Kingdom’ area.”

Some places in the Ghost Zone had such a strong feeling about how things should be that anyone or anything entering them was altered to fit. Some were generated by an actual ghost, but usually those ghosts just had very specific ideas about death and ghosts that didn’t quite mesh with the Zone at large. A few gave the impression that they had been carefully constructed and then more or less abandoned. Others didn’t seem to have any intelligence behind their existence, were random, almost natural.

Generally, the effects of Fisher Kingdoms were strictly physical, the average ghost’s core being safe in its aforementioned pocket, but even with that limitation, Fisher Kingdoms could be… difficult. Dangerous.

But they were also interesting. And Danny didn’t mind. He had the Ultimate Cheat Code when it came to dealing with Fisher Kingdoms. He could just turn human and float away. No problem. (In theory, anyway. In practice… Sometimes it was more complicated than that.)

“Alright,” said Maddie. “If you feel safe doing so, keep up your approach, but slowly. We want to monitor your vitals.”

Danny kept going, if at a greatly reduced pace.

His core pulsed again, and he stopped, hissing. This time, the sensation didn’t go away.

“Danny?”

“I’m okay,” he said. “I just…” He took a deep breath, feeling icy pressure on his lungs. “Oh, that’s weird.”

“What happened? Are you safe?”

“I think so. I think… I think this turned off my, uh, pocket dimension thing. You know, what my core goes in.” He blinked at his feet and the tips of his fingers, which were wisping away. The glow around his chest was bright and was becoming brighter. Something started beeping in his ear.

“Danny,” said Maddie, sounding alarmed. “That’s the stability alarm. Your numbers are dropping rapidly.”

Danny looked up, back at the not-stars. “I think I know what they are, now,” he said.

“What? Danny, you have to get out of there. Whatever is happening is seriously disrupting your ability to maintain your form.”

Danny brought his hand to touch the surface of his chest, which rippled as if made of water. The surface of his suit had started showing cracks. Even so, Danny was frozen in place by a thought:

Would it be so bad, to become a star?

His rings shuddered into life around him, forcibly and painfully returning him to human form. His heart stuttered at the ball of utter cold pressed against it. Every breath he took burned.

He cursed under his breath and followed his mother’s instructions, floating away from the field of false stars as quickly as he could. Despite how his core seemed to want to pull him back.

Eventually, the pull lessened.

“I guess,” said Danny, with extreme regret, “we should put that on the list of places I shouldn’t go.”

“Already there, kiddo,” said Jack.

“Come straight back,” said Maddie. “We need to give you a check, make sure there are no lasting effects.”

“Alright,” said Danny. “I’m on my way.”

Being a star… A shining beacon in the night…

It wouldn’t have been all that great, anyway, he was sure.

(He could settle for just chasing after them.)

I'm having memory issues to lets give Tucker some aswell. @imdeadtiredtm @ghost-pasta @faeroseghost @bibliophilea

Tucker has a problem. He knows he has a problem because it's consistent, always lacking at the back of his brain, taunting him while he tries to ignore it. He doesn't know when it began, but he knows that some days everything goes fizzy and next thing he knows, a whole day has passed with no memory of what or how it played out, and it keeps happening to the point he doesn't understand why Danny and Sam shared worry glances when he asks them to repeat what they just said. They keep telling him that there's something wrong, that he needs help, that he needs to tell someone about it, but he just can't. He'll go home, laugh and smile at his dads jokes while his mom scolds his baby sister for spilling her food on the floor while eating dinner and Tucker doesn't want to ruin the moment so he waits. Waiting ends up with him getting up in the morning, the buzzing faintly in the distance as he doesn't remember finishing the dinner, he doesn't remember what happened after or how he even hot to bed, and his mama smiles sadly at him from the doorway, a knowing glint in her eye as she tell him to get ready for school. The buzzing gets louder at the sight.

He goes to school with a smile,, trying to ignore the buzzing in the background while Tucker meets up with his friends,, they also have that knowing glint. Danny comments on his eyes, telling him that he won't look at them in the eyes and they are shifting towards every sound, and Sam jokes that he needs a therapist. That Jazz would be willing to help, but the way she says it is never really a joke as she gives him a side hug and changes the topic. It's slightly off putting to be told to talk to his best friends older sister, you she just got into her dream college and barely has time to face them. Then again, they barely had time to face time anyways with all the new baddies that seem to appear every day. Turns out, the ghost zone is bigger than they previously thought, after that one weird ghost lady named Lily kidnapped Danny for his ghost shots, it became apparent that his powers were abnormal so now it's an even more free for all with more baddies.

Tucker sucked in his teeth as he realizes he's reached home, he doesn't remember after the first period, after the buzzing got louder and now so does his temper. He tried to remember what mama always told him. She said it so much that it was almost etched in his head, why can't he remember? Tucker groaned and sat on the side of the curve, uncaring about the steps to the door, or how he got here. His mama said it all the time, every time he was in pickle. Oh why can't he remember? It hurt, his mama always left a large impact on him, she was his number one supporter and always cheered him on, even after he started losing his hearing. It's starting to tear him apart.

He clutched his head and squeezed heels eyes shut. He doesn't want to forget those memories he's had, he can't! These were his happy memories, things found randomly to bring out for a small laugh, or to cheer him up, just why can't he remember? Tucker groaned in frustration, first it was hearing, not his memories!? What's next? Is he going to lose a limb while out helping Danny hunt ghosts? He knows he's probably jingling himself but every single time something new happens, it seems to all go wrong now. Is the world out to get him and his friends? Is that it? The observant are probably laughing at him and his struggles.. Tears started to form but refused to fall, and the world started to fade around him. Tucker pulled his hearing aids off and blankly stared at them in his hand, buzzing growing and thoughts starting to slip away.

Distinctly, with the little hearing he had left, Tucker heard a small speaking sound, just barely past the sound of a car horn, that grew louder until it stopped right next to him. A glowing shoe tapped him with no response. There was a bit more squeaking before his unoccupied hand got tugged away from his head and something warm was pressed against it. A mug, and a dark blue glowing hand that was keeping it there. Tucker looked up just the slightest bit to see the mouth of the ghost, which was in an extremely soft smile, before looking back at the mug. Thoughts fuzzy and the buzzing the loudest, Tucker placed his hearing aids down and pulled it towards his lips, and without a thought, took a large gulp. A small part of him knew there would be consequences later of taking something from a ghost without knowing what it was, but it went down his throat like a warm drink on a cold day, reminding him distinctly as hot chocolate.

The more he drank, the quieter the buzz got, the clearer his thoughts got. Tucker almost finished the cup before he realized what he had done and jolted, before going to put the mug down. Only to be stopped by the same blue hands, much bigger than his now that he's a bit more aware. Without much more resistance he finished it. He grew hazy again but this time with memory, memory of when he first got his hearing aid and he and his mom had gone to go get ice creams before his dads came home.

"Mijo, whenever you are struggling you gotta pick yourself up, go to the nearest person you trust, and say 'I need help' don't ever feel embarrassed or scared to make sure you are the best you can be." She said before leaning down and wiping his ice cream covered face with a napkin. He laughed, pushing her away lightly, telling her to stop but she just smiled and held it out for him to grab. Mama always said weird things like this, but she always said this the most.

Tucker gasped, he remembered! He smiled really wildly, before getting up and running to his house, slamming the door open without any care and jumping into his mothers arms. His mama was right, he should never be scared to ask for help. She gently squeezed him, and tears seemed to come out faster. Oh wait! The ghost and his hearing aids! He jumped back, and went to turn before his mama stopped him and asked what was wrong. Tucker reached up and felt along his ears, the aids were ready in, he turned towards the open door and peeked out, the street was completely empty and the lights were on, the ghost nowhere to be seen.

His mama asked him again what's wrong, Tucker looked back at her with a sad smile before closing the door. Sorry Danny but he could never hide the truth from his mama, he won't tell her his secret, but he will get help. Wandering back into his mama's arms, Tucker started to explain.

#tucker foley #hes hard of hearing #memory #whump #danny phantom #thank you so much for the kind souls who helped me make my oc #ahhh #im so excited

Phasmophobia

Danny was very sick of tourists coming to explore Amity park. Like very sick of them, especially the ‘ghost hunter’ ones. In the end they just caused more problems than the actual ghosts, getting in the way of the fights causing Danny more stress and injuries than normal. Not to mention they sucked at their so called jobs. He was pretty sure even a single elementary schooler of Amity was a better ghost fighter than all of the tourists combined.

But at the moment it was the dead of winter and probably one of the coldest weeks of the year. So only the stupidest of self proclaimed ghost hunters would venture out to hunt ghosts in weather like this. While it was nice not having to worry about danger prone tourists Danny still was miserable, he could deal with the cold just fine in fact he preferred the cold. The problem was that It was the holiday season, the worst time of the year. At least the ghost attacks were less frequent as they all prepared for the Christmas truce party.

Still he supposed it could be worse. His parents weren’t fighting as much this year, though that was probably due to the fact they were still treating him like he was made of glass half of the time after he told them about the whole half dead thing. Danny figured that was due to the fact they blamed themselves for the portal incident, causing them to coddle him to an almost tortuous degree. It was as if they expected him to disappear if he was so much as bumped in the wrong way. It had gotten a bit better at this point at least, if things continued as it did at the beginning Danny was pretty sure he’d rather have them still be shooting at him. Now they only tensed up when he left the house instead of not so subtly stalking him all day.

At the moment Danny was sitting on the counter in the kitchen with his mom while she was cooking dinner. “Danny dear get off the counter that’s where the food goes not you.” Maddie said shooing him off the counter with a spatula.

Danny floated off in a huff, “This is ghostphobic mom. The counter is a perfect seat.”

Maddie rolled her eyes, “The term would be phasmophobic, and no it’s not it’s; I don��t want your butt all over where I’m making our dinner-phobic.”

“Fine transphobic then.”

“How about asking you to set the table? What would that be?”

Danny mulled it over for a few seconds. “A reasonable request I suppose.” He phased his hands though the cabinets grabbing the plates. Honestly he could have just as easily grabbed them normally but he was still trying to get his parents used to him having powers. “Oh by the way Sam, Tucker, and I are hanging out tomorrow to celebrate winter break starting and school being out for two whole weeks.” “Alright sweetie, but be safe okay?”

“Of course I will be mom.”

“I mean it Danny, please.”

Danny sighed “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to text you regularly to let you know I’m safe. I’ll be fine and stay out of trouble, I promise” Maddie nodded seemingly plated at least for the time being.

The next day Danny was really regretting making that promise. The day started out so well too. Danny, Sam, and Tucker were walking along the park trail. Danny was walking a few steps in front of the other two, subtly making the path easier with his powers. The only people out insane enough to bear the cold were people who had to go to work and teens who were bored out of their minds.

“All I’m saying Danny is that if you want to choose that class you should choose a race other than human for once. Hellspawn would be the best option in your case.” Tucker argued.

“Says the dude playing the race for furries.” Danny shot back turning his head to look back at his friend.

“Hey! The beastmen race is a perfect fit for my class, they have an exp boost for trickery and magic skills it’s the best for playing a character who mains in ambushing with traps.

“Boys boys stop arguing. Danny will be fine playing as a human he’s just gonna have to spend more time grinding. Also he’s right, beastmen are so the furry option.” Sam cut in.

“Whatever, I just don’t understand why he always plays the most boring race in every game he plays. I mean why would you want to play as a human when you could be a fantasy race like an elf or something.”

“Well that’s easy for you and Sam to say you both are still hum-,” Danny was cut off mid sentence by his ghost sense and a glowing red circle surrounding the group. He hardly had a chance to go ghost before being fully enveloped by the light.

When Danny was finally oriented enough to open his eyes he vowed to never complain about getting motion sick while his dad was driving again if it meant he would never have to go through that awful experience again. It felt like getting sucked into the Fenton Thermos if it was the size of a straw and being spun in a blender all at the same time. He looked around seeing if his friends were brought along with him. And just his luck, of course they got pulled through whatever the hell that was too.

“Ugh, you guys okay?” He closed his eyes again and focused on stabilizing his core and getting the last of the nausea to leave.

“Bleh I think I’m gonna hurl.” Sam groaned from beside him.

Danny heard Tucker shift beside him. “Yeah I’m good, I guess all that time staying up late playing VR games kinda helped against motion sickness. Landed on my arm though so definitely going to bruise later. Where are we anyway?”

That actually was a good question, Danny lifted himself off the ground literally, using legs to stand was lame anyway. The sight he was met with was both confusing and surprising. Looking down he saw that the three of them were in some sort of red magic circle or something, with candles lit around it. Looking past that was the part that was surprising. He was expecting this to be the work of a ghost but standing in a circle around the three of them were six humans in different colored robes. He couldn’t recognize any of them though, they must have been from out of town or just total shut ins. He was pretty sure he recognized where they were though, it was the basement of an abandoned building next to the mall, Sam was super into urban exploring the year before and it was one of the first places she dragged the two boys to.

“Haha uhh hey didn’t know there was a costume party going on, I would have dressed up, looks like you got all the colored robe thing going on though. Would my hazmat suit work instead of a robe?” Danny looked at the group around him and cracked an uneasy smile. Maybe it was some sort of accidental ghost summoning or something, it wouldn’t be the first time. Though the fact it brought his friends along pointed to it either being on purpose or something much more powerful, or both.

The man in the black robe turned to a woman in a white one. “Why did the spell bring two kids along with it .”

Danny tried to ignore being called an ‘it’ not like his parents didn’t do it before they knew about his identity. “I’m not the murder clown and I do have a name you know.” But his words seemed to fall onto deaf ears.

“I did the calculations right if that’s what you’re trying to imply, as you can see the subject did appear in the circle as planned. We probably just underestimated how much power the sacrifice would provide with the addition of the solstice.” White robe snapped. Great, this was totally just what Danny needed at the start of his winter break. Not only did they seem like ghost hunters they were the crazy obsessed culty ones.

“Either way the goal was achieved in the end, we have the ghost boy.” Black robe pointed to two men, one in yellow and one in blue robes. “Take care of the two bystanders, but don’t kill them. After all we shouldn’t kill our soon to be followers.” Yeah that wasn’t concerning at all Danny thought.

The one in the yellow grabbed Sam and the one in the blue grabbed Tucker at the black robed man's command. Danny assumed that probably meant the black robed one was the one in charge here. “Hey! Get your hands off me you freaks!” Sam yelled, struggling against the man’s grip.

But Danny’s friends didn’t have a chance against people twice their size. Before either of them could struggle more the two men slammed their heads to the ground in almost unison, knocking them out almost instantly. It happened so fast all Danny would do is watch on in horror. He felt like he watched their now limp bodies for ages, their chests shallowly rising at least giving him the relief of knowing they were still alive. But the sight of small puddles of blood forming around their heads snapped him out of his horror and into a rage.

Danny placed his feet to the ground turning to look at the two in the black and white robes. “Why?” He seethed, “You said they were accidentally brought along when you were trying to get me here. Technically in a way this falls onto me. So tell me, why?”

The man in the black robe seemed taken aback from being confronted so suddenly. The woman in white didn’t seem to have the same problem, maybe they both were in charge? Honestly though Danny didn’t care at this point. “We will take over the little town you haunt. After we do that we will find out where all the ghosts are originating from and then make them into our soldiers so we can take over the country and then the world. To do that we obviously needed you out of the way since you seem to be the only one capable of combating the other ghosts that come into this world. Or you would just defeat our pawns before they could take true action. So we found a way to summon and trap ghosts, then brought you here so we could get you out of our way.”

Honestly Danny was disappointed hearing that more than anything, his rage almost completely disappeared after hearing the plan. “Hold up that is the stupidest plan I have ever heard.” And that was saying something seeing as he dealt with Vlad's plans on a weekly basis. “First off you do realize it would be very hard to get or even force ghosts into your service if you don’t offer them, anything in return. Not to mention how some ghosts have almost godlike powers and you expect to overpower them? Also I am not even close to the only one who can fight ghosts. Everyone in Amity Park has at least some know how when it comes to ghost fighting. They sell basic ghost protection equipment at the supermarket. I just happen to be better suited than everyone else because I y’know can like fly and go intangible when chasing them. Using ghosts to take over the world is so stupid do you even know how to properly catch a ghost? Seriously this is like next level dumb, not to mention how did you even know the summoning would work if it didn't you’d just all be standing in a darkly lit room looking dumber than you already do.”

That seemed to anger the white one a lot. Apparently she didn’t like her intelligence questioned. “Why you little-.” She stomped her foot. “This plan was thought through down to the smallest detail. You want to know how it worked huh? How about asking your friend over there. I wonder what happens when the dead are killed? You will find out soon enough.”

Danny looked over to where we gestured and his refound taunting attitude vanished. Laying over in the corner inside a smaller less complex looking circle was a ghost or the ectoplasmic remains of one at least, the core was completely destroyed. Judging by the fact that the ectoplasm was red it probably had a fire core before it was destroyed. From the lingering ecto signature Danny doubted the ghost was even sapient. It was most likely the remains of something like a blob ghost or the ghost of an animal or even a weaker ectopus. Still all he could do was stare at the remains in horror.

“Of course summoning you was harder so we used that thing for its ghost energy to help power the circle. Instead of chalk we used it’s ectoplasm to ensure the strength and longevity of the seal to hold you in the circle.” The woman smiled as if she achieved something great. Achieve something she did indeed, but it certainly was not what she intended.

The rage Danny felt before came back in full force. Before with his friends he at least knew they would recover, all three of them got injured fighting ghosts more often than they should. But to injure a ghost to the point where not even their core remained was something so taboo that only the most despicable ghosts would do. Even Skulker kept the cores of his prey stable enough not to fade away completely. A ghost's form could be completely destroyed but as long as their core remained they would reform back where they first formed in the Ghost Zone. The only ghosts Danny could think of who would go out of their way to destroy a core were some of the ancients like Pariah Dark or Nocturne.

Danny finally managed to tear his eyes away from the ghost's remains to lock eyes with the woman. She and the black robed man took a step back out of instinct. Looking into his eyes they felt the feeling every animal of prey felt when it knew it was being watched, being hunted. The temperature in the room dropped and frost started to crawl across the walls. Danny took a step towards the two leaders before pausing to reconsider and turning and starting towards the two men standing above his friends.

Then men in yellow and blue robes looked to the man in black for guidance, unsure of what action to take. He looked uncertain as well but shook his head. “There’s no way it can pass through the seal, we tested it.”

Danny's eyes flicked over to the man then back to the two who hurt his friends and gave them a predatory grin, his teeth now looking slightly sharper than usual. He made no sound as he stepped over the circle with ease closer and closer to the two men. They both reached for their weapons, small bats, apparently they were the muscle of the group, and swung at the approaching ghost. Danny simply went intangible causing the two to overswing and hit each other instead, knocking the wind out of them both and causing them to drop their bats. While they were catching their breath Danny grabbed them by their hair and knocked their heads together. Their bodies crumbled to the floor just a few inches from the teens they did the same to just minutes before.

The one who had yet to say or do anything, dressed in red, made her way towards Danny while his back was towards her. Just as she got within arms reach of him she slipped and fell. The temperature had dropped even more at this point causing the ground surrounding Danny to ice over. Danny hardly acknowledged the large thud behind him simply trapping the fallen woman up to her neck in ice as he walked past and headed towards his final two targets.

When first summoned by the group Danny could, within reason, probably be passed off as a weirdish looking human excluding the glow around him. But now as he stalked towards his prey that was no longer the case. His chest no longer moved like it was breathing. His feet made no sound as they made contact with the ground. His eyes, non-blinking, no longer had pupils or even whites to them just a void of endless ectoplasmic green. His ears were pointed almost bat like. The tips of which, along with his lips, were tinted blue. His hair, normally white like snow, now was just the white that came from complete absence of any color. The hair was defying gravity almost as if it was underwater while smoke like wisps trailed off from his hair as he moved. His mouth was twisted into an emotionless smile splitting through his cheeks showing needle like teeth all the way back to where his molars would have been, there was no tongue or throat behind them, just another endless green void. The skin of his neck that was showing past the hazmat suit was marked with lightning like scars. The glow around him seemed to absorb all the light in the room.

The man in the black robe looked between the approaching horror and his partner before running towards the exit. Danny moved so fast it was almost as if he materialized right in front of the man. The man stumbled back falling down in shock but still tried to scramble away from him crossing his chest as he did so. Just as Danny started to raise his arm towards the man he paused and lurched back.

He looked down at his chest where an ornate knife was now lodged. Holding onto the hilt was the woman, she gave the knife a final twist before letting go and herding her partner into the corner farthest away from Danny. Danny showed no pain as he grabbed the knife and pulled it out, the blade was dripping with ectoplasm, and dropped it on the ground. The wound in his chest already healing, filling with more ectoplasm to replace what was lost.

The smile that was marring Danny’s face was replaced with a scowl as he made his way towards the corner where the two were cowering. Placing a hand on their necks he lifted them both up against the wall and started slowly burning their skin with an ectoblast. He let them go, letting them fall to the ground only when their screams of pain turned silent as crushed vocal cords and burnt throat muscles took their toll. Both cult leaders looked up at him in horror faces pale. "What's wrong?" Danny smiled, "It looks like you've seen a ghost."

The woman looked at him in fear as she grasped at the raw skin of her throat, which now was covered in blisters and charred in some of the worst places. “Wha-, what, what are you?” She managed to rasp out before coughing up some blood.

Danny let out a dark chuckle, his voice echoed over itself. “I-,” he snarled, “am a Phantom .”

After Danny sent an anonymous tip to the police about the cult, he brought his friends back to his house. Of course his mom freaked out after he stopped responding to her texts and even more when he phased into the living room with an unconscious Sam and Tucker. He was pretty sure she was about to break out the BOOmerang if she didn’t hear from him for much longer. She was more than willing to take the two of them to the hospital to get them checked out.

Danny made a quick stop into the ghost zone to tell Clockwork to spread the word to other ghosts to be on alert and that there were humans that were trying to summon and capture ghosts. After telling Clockwork what happened, in much more detail than the briefest summary he gave his mom, including how he probably went a bit overboard with dealing with the cultists. He also admitted he didn't regret it even if he did go overboard. They hurt his friends and caused a ghost to completely fade, and in Danny’s opinion they deserve whatever came to them. The whole story caused Clockwork to also start fretting over him making sure to let Danny know that his reaction was a completely normal response to someone threatening something that falls within his obsession especially since it happened in his haunt of all places. Danny swore that his ghostly mentor could be worse than his own parents sometimes especially when it came to reassuring him about his more ghostly tendencies.

Luckily after being released from the hospital it turned out the worst Sam and Tucker suffered were concussions that would heal in a decently short amount of time. That didn’t mean they weren’t complaining about it though.

“Stop laughing about my suffering Danny! I won’t be able to start playing Fantasy War Online VII until my two week tech restriction is lifted by my doctor. It was bad enough I had to go to a hospital but to be taken away from my lovely devices as well is just too much.” Tucker lamented.

“Quit complaining and suck it up. I’m on the restriction too Tucker.” Sam pointed out.

Tucker huffed. “Yeah well you’ll probably manage to catch up to all the people who are getting it on release day easily, since you’re scarily good at MMO’s.” He flopped back onto Danny’s bed. “Hey at least this gives us more time to convince Danny to play something other than a human for once in his life. Like I said before the hellspawn is the perfect race for the build you’re going for.”

Danny just rolled his eyes. “And like I said before, I like being a human.” “Whatever dude just don’t complain when I utterly beat you if we end up fighting because you wanted to be the lamest most boring race ever.”

Danny shrugged. “Somehow I’ll cope, I just think it’s nice to be seen as normal and not scary.”

Sam laughed. “Danny you are the least scary person like to ever exist. The only things scary about you are your grades and your wacky parents. I doubt you could be scary if you tried.”

Danny looked out the window watching the stars as they started to appear in the sky. “...Yeah I guess you’re right.”
