Invitation Accepted

She was busy fixing breakfast and planning how to convince Richie to attend Duncan’s party. She was just finishing up when her host wandered into his kitchen pulling his shirt on. She was amazed at the transformation that had taken place in the years since he was believed dead. He’d never been in a bad shape no immortal who wanted to last more than five minutes in the game was but his chest was so much more defined than it had been before. “All right Amanda I’ll go to Mac’s welcome home party.” He said giving her a skeptical look. “Just quit doing out of character things like getting up early to fix breakfast you don’t even do it for Mac unless you want something.”

She was a bit surprised by the quick agreement but at least he’d finally agreed to come. “What changed your mind?” She asked knowing he had to have already made up his mind sometime last night or early this morning. She picked up the plates and set them down on the table as he seemed lost in thought.

“I got thinking about Joe last night and how your right he’s not immortal so its best I see him as much as I can while he’s alive.” She wasn’t sure he was being completely honest but he sounded sincere. “I do have a couple of questions though how did Mac end up with two students he never struck me as the type.”

“He’s not normally but it was kind of an accident according to Joe,” she said before pausing to take a bite of her food. “After that sorceress he was staying with was killed he spent a few weeks in Japan with the immortal who killed her looking into things.” She was surprised honestly that he’d left the young guy alive. “He decided that the guy who killed his teacher was really responsible and set out to find him it took a while but he finally tracked him down with help from a friend in New Jersey.” She took a bit more time to eat on that note and Richie did the same.

“While in New Jersey that friend asked him to teach a recently deceased older former military fire fighter who had died too publically to stay in the city and learn.” She could see that Richie got that public news worthy death was something he was familiar with. “Duncan agreed and said he’d pick him up after he was done with the guy he was after in Chicago.” She wondered how Richie was going to react to the next part even she noticed the similarities. “While dealing with the guy he ran into an immortal street kid who recently had his first death and felt he needed to take care of him too so that’s how he ended up with two students.”

“Why didn’t he pass one of them off to his friends he’s done that before,” Richie said with a curious look. “Unless he hasn’t got any friends left who are willing to teach them?” She thought that sounded extremely cynical.

“Duncan gave his word he’d teach the fire fighter and he feels the boy is mistrustful enough without passing him off to someone else.” She could tell Richie was still deep in thought. “I don’t know much about them truthfully only what Joe has told me I’ll be meeting them for the first time myself when we go to the party.” The rest of breakfast passed in a sort of silence and she wondered not for the first time exactly how much Richie had changed from the boy she used to know.

[Danny Phantom Fic] Seed Verse Lucky Break

Disclaimer: Danny Phantom belongs to Butch Hartman, Nickelodian and anyone I'm not aware of.

Notes: This is part of my seed verse and takes place during The Gift.

Lucky Break

“What do you want Plasmius, I’m tired of watching you fail to open the portal.” She said as she arrived following his summons. “You’ve been trying for weeks and all that ever happens is you go all scaly and get the forked tongue.” She suspected it was the power drain causing traits form the original source of the ghost seed to show through.

“I’ve finally figured out why I can’t puncture threw this ridicules zone and escape.” Plasmius said looking at the place he’d kept trying to open a portal. “I simply need a power source to support the portal until I can force my way through.”

“And where Plasmius are you going to find a power source this is the Null zone there is nothing else here but the two of us.” She said and then realized seconds too late what he intended to do. She felt his hand smash into her chest and suddenly her strength was draining. “Let me go Plasmius you can’t do this.”

“Shut up Spectra I need to concentrate and if I’m not careful you’ll die and then I’m stuck here.” He said as he stretched out his other hand and a portal began to form. She felt herself getting weaker and knew she’d black out soon if he didn’t stop. “Its working look Spectra the portal that will take me to freedom sorry but your not coming.” She saw it then the portal it was glowing brightly she silently cursed him and added him to the list to get revenge on. She was just about to black out when suddenly an explosion of energy shot threw the portal and hit him. It just missed her but she could feel the surge of energy as it broke their connection.

She looked over at him once the surge ended pleased to see he was in bad shape covered in scales and his outfit shredded exposing more of his suddenly snake like skin. She quickly turned away and looked toward where the portal was pleased to see it was still there. “Good bye Vlad.” She said diving threw the portal. She looked back immediately pleased to see it had closed after she went through it leaving him trapped in the null zone. “Serves him right now what caused that surge.” She said to herself as she looked around. She realized she was standing in what used to be the Hall of the Observents but it was smashed everything was destroyed floating debris littering the ghost zone. She didn’t know what had happened and she didn’t care she had to find Bertram and with his help recover from what Plasmius did to her then she could start hunting Mr. X and the boy the other two people on her list.

As she flew from the ruins of the Hall she noticed that it wasn’t just one location that had been destroyed everywhere she looked was rubble and she once again wondered what could have caused it. “Hey Octopus Lady a little help?” a ghost called trapped between two pieces of rubble. She ignored the call for help and looked at her self in the nearest reflective surface seeing that her body had sprouted tentecles and a beak. She guessed she finally knew the origin of the ghost seed that created the clone. “Are you going to help me?” The ghost called again.

“No,” She said and flew off she needed to find Betrand more than ever he could help her recover her true appearance. She had to admit having a few tentecles was a small price to pay for her freedom and the satisfaction of leaving Plasmius in the Null Zone to rot. She really had a lucky break today.

Notes: This is part of my seed verse and takes place a few days after The Gift

The Search

“Mom, Dad I can do this on my own I’ve been in the ghost zone plenty of times,” Danny said as he tried to convince them to stay back at the Fenton Works again. “I mean I’ll have Ghost Dad with me?” He said pointing out the Ghostly Version of Jack that was still hanging around and more than happy to let them perform experiments on him.

“You can forget it Danny we are going with you,” She said as she adjusted the fit on the Specter Deflector. She and Jack both felt that since she still had a ghost seed inside her that it was best to limit the amount of ecto plasmic energy she would absorb. “Just let us get into the Specter Speeder and we’ll follow after you.”

“I can’t believe we are finally doing this Maddie,” Jack said brightly once they were inside and she had to agree. They’d talked about going into the ghost zone so much but they’d never got around to it. The fact her children had been making regular trips into it for ages detracted a bit but it was still exciting. She saw Danny and Ghost Jack fly ahead into it so they followed. She had to admit her first view of the ghost zone was a bit of a let down just chunks of debris floating. “This place is a dump.” Jack said but her attention was focused on Danny.

“Danny what’s the matter?” She asked as she saw him looking around clearly in shock. She heard Ghost Jack repeating what the real Jack had said but Danny didn’t seem to be listening. “Danny is something wrong?”

“It shouldn’t be like this everything’s wrecked.” He said sounding upset. “There was a stone walk way right here that led to the ghost portal.” He then looked up at the same time as ghost Jack. “There’s a ghost coming get ready in case its not friendly.”

“Oh its you I thought it was Ghost Danny,” A green version of Danielle said as she lowered down. “So Ghost Jack finally popped that’s good if he wants to see the town I’ll give him a tour of what’s left of it.”

“What happened here?” Danny asked looking around. “And Ghost Danny is why we are here the ghost seed that came out of me threw him into the ghost zone in a Fenton Thermos.” She looked over at Jack who had his fingers on the weapons trigger. He was as nervous as she was seeing their son talking to a ghost.

“Someone blew up the satellite that Mr. X was using to keep your rogues gallery contained and it did all this.” The green ghost girl said. “If Ghost Danny is in the thermos can’t that thing find him?” She pointed at them.

“I’ll check the scanners,” She said before Danny could ask and started searching. She’d completely forgotten why they’d come here. She was pleasantly surprised to see that it could detect the thermos. “I’m amazed but I’ve got it just follow us.” She looked at Jack who nodded and they took off in the direction indicated by the scanners. She was suddenly anxious to get this over with and get back to their world.

The destruction got worse as they headed forward and came to a small damaged island chunck where the thermos was visible. She watched Danny fly down to it and then frown. “Its empty and cracked so either he’s already free and out there somewhere or the explosion....” He didn’t finish as he looked around. “Were any ghost killed in the explosion?” He was asking the green ghost girl again.

“Some but most were just knocked for a loop and some of those came back different,” the ghost girl said. “Ghost Kwan for instance is now calling himself the Sport Master and is more like the other ghost obsessed with one thing.” The ghost girl said sadly. “He’s hoarding sports equipment and keeps talking about going back to the real world to become an NFL star with his ghost powers.” The green ghost girl looked grim. “When we lost the town it seems some of us lost our grip on who we were modeled on.”

She was making mental notes to add to her new theories on identity being connected to form for the ghosts. “Why don’t you guys head back to the human world and I’ll keep a look out for Ghost Danny here if I see him I’ll let you know.” She said and then looked over at Ghost Jack. “You can come help me if you want?”

“I was really hoping to wait for ghost Maddie before I came here to the ghost zone,” Ghost Jack said cheerfully. “But it looks like you could really use some help here so I’ll stay for a while.” She was glad because two Jacks was pushing it a bit. “Just send Ghost Maddie to me as soon as she appears.”

Danny looked reluctant but a glance at them and he was flying back toward the gate. “Mom how are we going to tell Jazz and Sam about this.” He sounded tired. “I think he’d have come back by now if could.” She privately agreed unless he’d been changed like that other ghost has been.

“Don’t worry Danny I’m great at giving bad news I’ll handle it.” Jack said and she immediately made plans to distract him when they arrived there was no way she was letting him break this news to the girls.

“Really Dad I should handle it,” Danny said clearly thinking along the same lines. Her husband had many wonderful qualities but tact wasn’t one of them. “Besides you and mom should make sure Mom hasn’t absorbed too much spectral energy.” She was both impressed and disturbed at how quickly he managed to redirect Jack’s focus. She realized he’d been doing it for a while now and that wasn’t a comforting thought.

[Danny Phantom Fic] Seed Verse Visiting Family

Disclaimer: Danny Phantom belongs to Butch Hartman, Nickelodian and anyone I'm not aware of.

Notes: This is part of my seed verse and takes place after the Search

Visiting Family.

“Guys you should come take a look a this,” It was Jazz calling form the other room where she was watching the news. She looked over at Jack who nodded and they headed into the room. She hoped Dani would be back soon since Danny was still grounded the girl had been doing brief sweeps for ghosts at night. She looked over at Danny who followed with a slight smile on his face. He’d been extremely helpful for her and Jack tonight she thought they might finally be getting back on the right track.

As they walked into the room Jazz pointed at the screen on the tv. “Ghost Danny is back and on a date with Paulina’s ghost seed.” She said excitedly. She looked past her daughter to see the press talking about the ghost boy and some ghost girl on a whirlwind romantic tour.

“That’s not Ghost Danny its your son he saw Paulina fly by and went to try to control her and got zapped by her love spell power.” Danny said and she felt a moment of terror as she looked back and he changed into the ghost seed Danny. “I just thought I’d spend a little time with my family without all the drama.” He shrugged. “Don’t worry about Danny the little girl clone is chasing after them trying to snap him out of it she’ll most likely succeed any minute now.” She was worried about her son but she had to deal with this monster first.

“Why do you keep doing stuff like this?” Jazz said before she could. “Why do you keep tormenting everyone for no better reason than because you can?” She could understand how angry Jazz was.

“Maybe I’m just paying you all back for treating me like a monster despite being just as much as part of Danny as Ghost Danny is.” He said and then smiled. “Or maybe I’m just bored since tomorrow night is going to be the big show when Sam’s ghost seed activates I’m expecting one hell of a cat fight over the real Danny.” She wasn’t sure how to respond to that statement it was disturbing on several levels. He floated up into mid air and crossed his legs. “Anyone have any other interesting questions I’m in a friendly mood I might even answer them.”

“Who was Thaddeus Fenton,” Jack said surprising her. “You told Sam about a Thaddeus Fenton designing the satellite you destroyed.” She had nearly forgotten that. “Was he our grand son?” She realized then what was worrying Jack the other thing he’d told them why it had been built the death of their son.

“Oh no he’s your great grand son’s great grand son,” the ghost seed Danny said with a shrug. “Danny Phantom is virtually immortal even after the Danny Fenton part of him dies the Phantom part will live on unless something destroys him.” The ghost seed Danny then pointed at himself. “Ghost don’t die from old age they die form losing the will to live or getting destroyed by someone or something.” He then smiled and she realized he was going to say something hurtful again. “Thaddeus isn’t a blood relative of yours since Danny is shooting blanks his human half makes having children with a ghost impossible and his ghost half makes having children with a human impossible.” He shrugged. “He and Sam had to explore other options for a kid in that future that no longer exists.”

“Are you sure that future no longer exist?” She asked before anyone else spoke. She knew from Danny’s stories that the future could be changed as well as the past but she didn’t want to dwell on it. She also needed to arrange for some testing for her son to see if he really was incapable of having children. She asked because the idea of her future grand children ceasing to exist scared her.

“Well as far as we are concerned it does it’s the future that got replaced by the one with Danny turning into the guy a lot like me.” He said with a smile. “What the future is now is anyone’s guess as to what happens to the old futures you’d have to go ask Clockwork about that.” He paused then and looked up as her son and Danielle arrived. “Look here comes Danny and Dani so she got him away form the other ghost.” He started to fade out then. “Be seeing you around Mom, Dad, and Jazz.” He was gone then leaving them all staring at where he’d been.

Identity Revealed

“Trying to catch the happy couple?” A familiar voice said and she spun to see Danny Phantom but he looked different. He had blue skin and flaming blue hair. “Oh taking in the new look don’t worry I’m not either of the Danny Phantoms you know.” He said with a smile. “I’m the ghost seed that was put into the human Danny after the copy was made.”

She considered using attacking him but something about the way he was smiling gave her pause. “What do you want I need to find the other Phantom and the Ghost Seed of Paulina.” She’d had to head out in search of them once she’d seen them on the news.

“Oh the ghost seed of Paulina fled after Danielle drove her off and freed the real Danny Phantom form her love spell.” He said with a shrug. “So since they were back with their human family I decided it was time we had a little chat because there’s something I’ve been dying to tell you.”

She didn’t know why but something about the way he was still smiling unnerved her so she took a defensive stance. “Well tell me and then get out of here ghost unless you want to get blasted into next week.”

“You’re an idiot you know that Valerie Danny Fenton, Danny Phantom they even look almost exactly alike never see one with the other.” She was staring at him in horror he was actually implying Danny Fenton was the ghost boy. “The real Danny figured out your identity from the beginning and was going to give up being a hero for you during that whole disaster of a flirtation you two had.” She couldn’t believe Danny was the ghost boy it just didn’t make sense. “Oh good grief your really in denial meet me down town tomorrow night and everything will be proven to you.” He vanished then in a swirl of ecto-plasm leaving her standing there.

Girl Fight

“This isn’t a good time,” he said as he dodged the blast from Valerie when she showed up out of no where. “I have to catch up with that ghost seed ghost before it wrecks the town.” The explosion in the distance made it clear that Sam had made it to the auto dealership. He still had no idea how she’d escaped the containment pod they’d rigged up in her house for her to use so her parents wouldn’t find out.

“Are you Danny Fenton yes or no?” Valerie demanded as she aimed another blast at him. His shock must have shown cause she dropped the gun. “You really are Danny Fenton he wasn’t lying.” He was still staring in shock when Valerie was blasted away from him.

“Ghost boy I found you,” Ghost Paulina said as she tacked him. “Come lets go on another date.” She said and he began to feel woozy. Just what he needed to end up back under her love spell while Valerie knew who he really was.

“Back off he’s mine,” Sam yelled and blasted her away from him.. He looked back to see her standing there a yellowish green skinned version of herself from when she was under Undergrowth’s control. He was still shaking off the after effects when Paulina retaliated and they began to fight in the middle of town.

“Valerie, Danny just in time to enjoy the show,” The ghost seed Danny said as he arrived. “I let Sam out then told Paulina where to find you so pull up a chair lets watch the cat fight.” He sat back on a chair shaped out of ecto energy.

“Truce,” He said to Valerie as she headed over. She nodded and he pointed at the fighting girls. “Keep those two from wrecking the city it’s time I dealt with my ghost seed ghost once and for all.” She nodded and took off.

“So much for the show,” The ghost seed Danny said and took off flying into the air. He followed after him and tried to blast him but he shielded himself. “You really should go help Valerie out she’s no a match for Psycho Mother Nature Sam.” He ignored him and kept trying to blast him. “Your really angry and I get that but you should look back at the girl fight it’s a good show its even attracting the media.” The ghost seed ghost then split into three and two of them grabbed him and spun him around. “See I think your going to have to come up with something to tell Sam’s folks cause no way they won’t recognize their baby girl.”

He blasted himself free and let loose with a ghostly wail that made the two doubles vanish and sent the ghost seed ghost flying away. He looked back down and saw Ghost Paulina fleeing and Ghost Sam having Valerie pinned. He flew down and even though he hated to do it blasted Sam as hard as he could knocking her off Valerie. “You traitor I will make you pay.” Sam yelled looking at him darkly. “The Earth itself will punish you.” She waved her hand and vines wrapped around him and Valerie. Then seconds later she was frozen.

“You can thank me another time.” The ghost seed Danny said looking tired. “That wail of ours really hurts next time I’ll use it on your so you can feel it.” The ghost vanished then and he was forced to drag the frozen Sam away as the Media swarmed them. He saw Valerie flying away and he wondered what the consequences of her knowing who he was would be.

[Danny Phantom Fic] Seed Verse A Glimmer of Good

Notes: This is part of my seed verse and takes place the night after Girl Fight

A Glimmer of Good

She sat looking over the latest test results. She looked up briefly at the screen to make sure Sam’s parents hadn’t let her out of the containment cell. After the news broad cast of their ghost daughter battling another girl ghost over Danny they’d had to reveal the fact their daughter was possessed by a ghost seed. She was amazed that so far this was the only time a ghost seed ghost had caused mass chaos and destruction. “Mind if I join you,” Danny’s voice asked but she knew it wasn’t Danny. She knew exactly where he was so she looked up not surprised to see the ghost seed back.

“So what are you going to do now,” She asked as she reached under her desk and put her finger on the button for the silent alarm that would alert Jack and the kids. “Haven’t you caused enough trouble after setting Ghost Sam free and arranging that fight with Ghost Paulina over Danny.”

“I’m here to help actually.” He said throwing a folder on her desk she was startled enough not to push the button. “There’s a complete fictional history for Dani that’s already been inserted into all the relevant government databases.” He said with a shrug. “She’s now officially Danny’s third cousin and since her parents are deceased she’s been sent to live with her only living adult relatives you and Jack.” He smiled then. “You can give her the home she’s always wanted and enroll her in school.”

“No tricks no us sending her to school and then revealing to the world the whole truth?” She was terrified that he’d decide to tell the entire world everything. She could only imagine the chaos that would result if the world knew everything.

“Nope, oh I’ve got plans none of you would approve of but nothing like that.” He said with a chuckle. “I’m made from your son I’m not completely evil.” He said and then was gone just as quickly. She opened the folder and began to read. It appeared that he had been telling the truth. She’d have to make some phone calls and discreetly make sure it wasn’t a trap before they used any of this but who knows perhaps there is a bit of good in him after all.
