Danny-2 and Charybdis were floating high in the sky over Amity Park. Danny-2 used his town sense power to find bad Ghosts or Spirits. He found that some were causing havoc at a jewelry shop. Danny-2 and Charybdis flew off to stop them. Danny-2 stopped momentarily and called Kim.
-
"Did you change your mind?" Kim asked over the phone.
-
"No, but I need the thermos." Danny-2 said shortly. "There are people causing trouble at a jewelry shop." He told his redheaded friend.
-
"Oh, right. One moment." Kim told Danny-2 and there was shuffling heard from across the phone. "Okay I have it out, just make a portal."
-
Danny-2 made the portal, and Kim stuck her arm through it with the thermos in hand. "Thank you." Danny-2 said into the phone as Kim pulled her arm back through the portal.
-
"Anytime. We really should each have one, so we don't have to keep passing it around." Kim told Danny-2.
-
"We'll get right on it." Jack's loud voice could be heard through the phone.
-
"Okay, well, I gotta go. Bye." Danny-2 told Kim.
-
"Wait, Wade wanted to know if you would be available tomorrow to check out your top speed and strength and all that. Do you want to do that for him?" Kim asked.
-
"Yeah. But I really gotta go, I don't want the people to get away with the jewelry." Danny-2 said before hanging up on Kim.
-
Danny-2 and Charybdis made it to the jewelry store to watch the crime still being in progress. The crime was being perpetrated by a person with neon green hair, pale blue skin, red leather jacket with a black shirt with purple stripes underneath and ripped blue jeans.
-
'Charybdis, you grow and stand guard in case they escape. I'll go in and confront them.' Danny-2 told Charybdis telepathically and she nodded.
-
'Want me to stay invisible?' Charybdis asked telepathically, already growing.
-
'If you don't mind.' Danny-2 told her telepathically as he invisibly flew into the jewelry store.
-
Despite Danny-2 being invisible, the Ghost or Spirit knew he entered the shop. "I know you're there. So just show yourself." They said in a more feminine voice.
-
Danny-2 decided to show himself. "I'd rather not fight, but you need to return what you're stealing." He said to the ghost with neon green hair.
-
"What's it to you?" They said to Danny-2.
-
"I'm Phantom and the self-proclaimed protector of Amity Park. I can't have you stealing from a civilian like this." Danny-2 told them. He decided to lower the temperature in the room for effect.
-
"Well I'm Katherine, or Lady Jewel, if you wanted to know. I control all things gemstone and appreciate all things jewelry. It's not like I want to steal from this place. It's just this place has been here the longest and was here while I was alive. I just, I just wanted to have something that reminded me of the past." The ghost with the neon green hair, Katherine, started tearing up at the end of her rant. "I was planning on stealing some of the cheaper stuff, but I was only appreciating the rest I swear." She made a motion with her finger over where her heart would be. Danny could feel the sincerity roll off of her.
-
'I totally need to refine my searches.' Danny-2 thought to himself. 'Maybe Theryon could keep an eye on her.' He thought. "Can you make jewelry?" He asked Katherine "Because I know some people who are venturing into that kind of craftsmanship. I'm sure they'll appreciate having someone who knows what they're doing when it comes to jewelry." He told her.
-
Katherine smiled widely at Danny-2. "Yes. I can totally make jewelry. I'd love to help. Are they selling the jewelry?" She asked. Danny could feel hope rise in her.
-
"They plan to. They haven't had the best luck finding buyers for their original products. My friends and I gave them the idea today to stray into other kinds of products." Danny-2 told the girl.
-
'There are police cars coming towards the shop.' Charybdis told Danny-2 telepathically.
-
"Leave what you were planning to steal, and we can go to introduce you to the craftsmen I was talking about." Danny-2 told her and Katherine complied, dumping out her bag onto the ground. Danny-2 sent a thought to Charybdis to come, and she did, small, just as Danny-2 made a portal to Sidney's realm. "Let's go, the police are on their way." Katherine got wide eyes and hurried through the portal with Danny-2 and Charybdis not far behind.
-
The other side of the portal was the outside of the ghostly Fenton Works building. Danny-2 didn't want to scare any of the denizens of the realm by appearing at the school or the cave.
-
'Sidney, I brought someone that could help with jewelry making. Can you help me introduce her to Theryon?' Danny-2 asked the green ghost telepathically.
-
'I'm with him right now. Bring her to the cave.' Was Sidney's response.
-
'Alright.' Danny-2 told Sidney telepathically. 'Charybdis, follow behind Katherine. I'm taking her to the cave.' He told the golden ectopi
"Follow me and we'll meet with Theryon at the cave." Danny-2 told Katherine.
-
"You got it Phantom." Katherine gave a thumbs up and started floating.
-
Danny-2 flew toward the edge of the realm and down the side; he didn't go very fast, so as to make sure that Katherine was able to keep up. Both Sidney and Theryon were waiting for them at the edge of the cave and backed up enough for Danny-2 and Katherine to land on the edge of the cave.
-
"Greetings, I'm Sidney, the owner of the realm we are standing in. The spirit standing next to me is Theryon, the leader of the craftsmen here." Sid introduced. "Phantom here told me that you can help with jewelry, can you tell us more about what you mean by that?" He asked Katherine
-
"Well, I'm Katherine and I used to make jewelry when I was alive. I have been since I was a child. It would be better if I showed you, I'm not the best with words." Katherine explained.
-
"While you figure out a way to do that, could I leave her here for a time? I need to go back on patrol." Danny-2 told the three people before him.
-
"Of course. She is not nearly as powerful as you are, so if she starts trouble, we can overpower her." Theryon told Danny-2. "No offense Katherine. Although, be glad that you weren't on his bad side, he took out all of my people in one attack. Sid was telling me that he was a superhero." Theryon said after turning to Katherine and leading her to somewhere in the tunnel.
-
"You found her on patrol? You didn't tell me that. Are you sure we can trust her?" Sidney asked as Danny-2 opened a portal.
-
"Yeah Sid. I wouldn't bring her here for a job if I didn't. I have the power to sense emotions and that such. Trust me, Sid. Have I led you wrong before?" Danny-2 asked.
-
"Not really. Do you need help on patrol? I was just about to separate from Theryon when you called me." Sid told Danny-2.
-
"Not right now. Keep an eye on Katherine. Just so I know that she can fit in or if there is a spat between her and another person." Danny-2 told Sidney, who nodded. "You're the only one here who can communicate with me telepathically." Danny-2 assured him.
-
"Alright then. Go ahead and go on patrol. I'll catch the next one." Sidney said.
-
"Yes you will. I won't leave you out every time, don't worry." Danny-2 said before going through the portal, Charybdis following shortly behind.
-
Danny-2 sat crosswise in the air with Charybdis on his shoulder, thinking on how to refine his search. 'I could always go with malevolent Ghosts and Spirits, but what counts as malevolent for me?' Danny-2 thought to himself. 'Maybe I should try looking for Ghosts and Spirits that need help?' Danny-2 decided to do that and sensed something nearby
Danny-2 and Charybdis flew to where the power told him and found what looked to be a child yeti being bullied by some adults. Danny-2 flew down next to the group, landing with an audible thud to draw the attention of the humans. When the bullying stopped, Danny-2 spoke up. "It's not nice to pick on a child if you're an adult. Back away from them."
-
"This ain't no child, this is just a freak." An older man with graying hair said. "Who the hell even are you?"
-
"I'm Phantom, self-proclaimed protector of Amity Park." Danny-2 told them.
-
"Good, now protect us from this freak." A tattooed woman said.
-
"From what I see that Child needs protection from you all. Now step away before I have to hurt you." Danny-2 used his telekinesis to levitate some trash cans and a dumpster into the air as a threat.
-
The group ran with a chorus of 'Oh hell no's' and left the yeti child alone.
-
Danny-2 slowly lowered the trash cans and dumpster and even cleaned up some trash that had missed the cans. Danny-2 slowly approached the yeti child and spoke to them in Gholric. "Hey, little one. You're safe now. Do you live in the Far Frozen?"
-
"Yes I do, sir. Thank you for saving me. What would you have me do in return?" The yeti child asked.
-
'Seems a bit too formal for a regular child, but what do I know' Danny-2 thought to himself. "I need nothing but to know what to call you. It is my job to protect people in this town." Danny-2 told the little child. "Especially children."
-
"You may call me Frecia. I'm the daughter of a noble family in the Far Frozen. You may ask for anything, and I will give it to you." The Yeti child, now named Frecia, told Danny-2.
-
"No, you're parents will. You shouldn't make promises like that." Danny-2 chastised Frecia. "What if I made an unreasonable demand of you and your parents couldn't back it up? What would happen then?" Danny-2 asked
-
"You would then have ownership of me and could do whatever you wanted." Frecia said, as if it was only natural.
-
Danny-2 blanched at hearing that. 'Glad I found her first, and not someone who would take advantage of that rule.' Danny-2 thought to himself. "That is why we should go to your parents first. You don't want to be someone's plaything, do you?" He asked Frecia, whose eyes widened and shook her head violently no. "Give me a moment to make a portal and we'll be on our way to your home, hopefully." Danny-2 told Frecia as he opened a portal in front of Klemper's porch. "Let's go." He said as he picked up Frecia in one arm and walked through.
-
Danny-2, Charybdis, and Frecia made it through the portal to find a couple of yetis talking to Klemper on his porch. The yetis were clearly in distress and were talking frantically.
-
"Mommy! Daddy!" Frecia wriggled out of Danny-2's grip and ran onto Klemper's porch to hug the yetis, her parents, and Klemper flew down to meet Danny.
-
"I didn't know you would come to visit again so soon." Klemper said, giving Danny-2 a strong hug.
-
"It wasn't for pleasure though, I needed to return Frecia, the girl you passed, to her parents and you are the closest I have been to the Far Frozen." Danny-2 said as Klemper let go of him.
-
"That's even better, her parents are the friends that taught me how to control my ice powers." Klemper told Danny-2. "And they're here now." Danny-2 nodded to his large blue friend.
-
"Speaking of returning Frecia, what do you ask of us?" One of the larger yetis asked with a deep voice.
-
"I was thinking of negotiating on that. Frecia told me what would happen if I made a demand you can't go through with, and I don't want to take her from her home." Danny-2 told the larger yeti and the other let out a shuddering breath, presumably in relief.
-
"Thank you for deciding on negotiating with us. I'm her mother and I was scared I would lose her." The other yeti, now holding Frecia, said with a shake in her voice.
-
"Of course. I was thinking about learning more about the Far Frozen. Do you have any books on social structure and prominent history? Or is that too much to ask from a stranger to the Far Frozen?" Danny-2 asked the two large yetis.
-
"That's not our place to give outsiders, no. Sorry." The yeti with the deep voice said.
-
"That's fine, that's why we're negotiating." Danny-2 said. Danny-2 thought for a moment before giving up. "What do you do besides training ice core powers?" He asked the yetis.
-
"I'm a seamstress and my husband is an armorer." The mother yeti said, still holding Frecia.
-
Danny-2 perked up at that. "I can work with that. Could you both each make me something to wear, or is that another thing you can't give outsiders?" He asked the yeti couple.
-
The yeti couple brightened at that. "We can do that. It's our personal work, so we can give that out to anyone." The father yeti said .
-
"Yes, we only need your measurements, and we can get them done in about an hour or so. Could you wait that long?" The yeti mother looked between Danny-2 and Klemper with a worried look. Danny-2 could feel the anxiety from her.
-
"Of course. Klemper is my friend, I wouldn't mind spending some more time with him." Danny-2 said as he tried to wrap an arm around Klemper's body.
-
This made the mother yeti feel relieved. "Well, I have my measurement tools so if Klemper doesn't mind us using his cabin I could get your measurements quickly and we can make your outfits."
-
"Of course you can use my cabin for that. I'll stay out here though, if you don't mind." Klemper said to the yetis.
-
"Okay, I'm ready if you are, but will the measurements match for the armor as well?" Danny-2 said as he walked up the steps of Klemper's porch.
-
"Oh yes, I always have her measure my clients, she has never given me bad measurements." The father yeti told Danny-2. "My name is Lucius and my wife's name is Narcissa. I know we didn't introduce ourselves before. Frecia said that you were called Phantom?"
-
"Yeah, I'm a self-proclaimed superhero. I saw her being bullied by a bunch of humans, so I scared them a little to get them to leave her alone." Danny-2 explained to the father yeti, named Lucius. "They ran after a little demonstration of my telekinesis." Danny-2 chuckled at that. Lucius chuckled too.
-
"Really? Are all humans so cowardly?" Lucius asked Danny-2.
-
"No, not all of them. I would know as a halfa." Both Lucius and Narcissa momentarily froze at him mentioning that but quickly got to work measuring Danny-2.
-
After that was finished, the yeti parents left to make the outfits. They left Frecia with Danny-2 and Klemper saying that they couldn't take her with them until the transaction was completed. Danny-2 and Klemper didn't mind and they started a snowball fight to pass the time.
-
Danny-2 made a snowball with his ice powers and threw it at Frecia, just as Klemper threw one at Danny-2. Danny-2 dodged and made another snowball.
-
"Wait, Phantom. Do you have an Ice Core?" Frecia asked Danny-2.
-
"Yes. Klemper helped me unlock it a few hours ago I think." Danny-2 answered the yeti child.
-
"Really!" Frecia turned to Klemper. "Can you teach me? My parents won't let me practice because my core isn't whole enough yet." She said to the large pale blue ghost.
-
Klemper had wide eyes and turned to Danny-2. "Could that be why you passed out?" He asked the half ghost.
-
"No, my core was already whole, it was just that I strained myself making your swords. I'm much better with it after the nap I had here." Danny-2 assured Klemper before turning to Frecia. "I could maybe help you get your core whole if you want." He told the young yeti.
-
Frecia was bouncing on her heels. "Yes! Yes, I want to make my core whole." She ran to hug Danny-2. Danny-2 accepted it and patted her head. She let go of Danny-2. "What do I need to do?"
-
"Can I join you? I don't know if my core is whole." Klemper raised his hand.
-
"Of course. Let's go sit down on the porch. We're gonna do some meditation, but instead of clearing our minds, we'll look inwards to our powers that make up our core." Danny-2 started explaining. "For me, they were orbs of different colors. They might be something different for you, though, this is only my second time doing this, but the first time was with someone I was backing." Danny-2, Frecia, and Klemper sat crosswise on the various porch chairs. "You might have different colors of what your core appears to you as. I suggest that you start by merging the same colors first, then merge the different colors." Danny-2 suggested to Frecia and Klemper.
The two students sat crosswise on their chairs and relaxed their minds. Danny-2 could sense when they made it to their trance state when he couldn't sense their emotions anymore. Instead he could feel their energies fluctuate. 'Could emotion be energy for ghosts? Their consciousness went into their subconscious so it would make sense if it would change to just energy that exudes off of them.' Danny-2 thought to himself. 'Klemper wants friendship, Sidney hates bullies, hell, even Katherine had an emotional reaction to the jewelry at the shop. I wonder if Ghosts and Spirits form from their strongest emotion from their deaths. Could it be that simple?' Danny asked himself in his mind.
=
It took ten minutes for both Klemper and Frecia to finish merging their cores together. Danny-2 saw it in the way they glowed briefly. There were no big changes in their appearances. Frecia grew some and her horns grew pointier. Klemper's skin grew a darker shade of blue, but that was it.
-
Frecia opened her eyes first with a huge smile on her face. "I did it! It was just like you said, floating orbs in different colors." She ran to give Danny-2 another hug, which he accepted again. "Thank you. Now I can start training my Ice Core."
-
"You're welcome, Frecia. I always help out my friends." Danny-2 told Frecia, trying to keep her fur out of his mouth. She responded by hugging Danny-2 tighter.
-
"Can I hug too?" Klemper asked from his seat, having opened his eyes a moment ago.
-
Frecia ran and grabbed Klemper and pulled him to Danny-2. "Yes, but only if it's a group hug." She said as she wrapped her arms around both of the boys.
-
"Okay." Klemper said, wrapping his large arms around his two friends.
-
Danny-2 wanted to tell them that he couldn't breathe, but he realized that he wasn't feeling light headed or any other pain you get when you can't breathe. 'Do I need to breathe at all? I should test that later.' Danny-2 thought to himself.
-
It was five minutes in the group hug until they let go of each other. Danny-2 took some deep breaths and didn't get into a coughing fit. Klemper looked at Danny-2 with worry. Frecia was bouncing on her heels again.
-
"When do we start with the ice training?" Frecia asked the two boys before her.
-
"We can start right now, if Klemper wants." Danny-2 said to Frecia before Klemper said something.
-
"Alright, we can start now, but I don't know much. Before, I couldn't learn much with my powers." Klemper said hesitantly to the young yeti.
-
"What are you talking about? You know enough to capture some villains for Kim and I." Danny-2 told Klemper. "Granted you were unlucky with who you froze up, but you were still able to catch them."
-
Frecia was looking at Klemper with wide eyes. "Are you a hero too?" She asked the large blue boy.
-
Klemper shook his head. "No, I just helped someone who wanted to be my friend. That's it and I couldn't even do that." He hung his head while saying that.
-
"I told you that you were just unlucky. Shego was just stronger than you thought." Danny-2 tried to reassure his ghostly friend. "Besides, you could have only gotten stronger by merging your core together."
-
"Phantom's right, you feel stronger than you did before merging your core." Frecia said to the blue ghost boy. "Let's wait for my parents to teach us more about our ice powers." She said, patting Klemper on his arm.
-
"No, your parents won't let you practice without proof that you can use ice, right? So let's get you to make an icicle." Klemper said as he walked down from the porch.
-
"Can we do it here? I think the training grounds are occupied." Frecia told Klemper.
-
"Sure. We can do it in front of my house." Klemper told Frecia.
-
"I'll stay up here, keep an eye on everything." Danny-2 said as he leaned on the fence on the porch.
-
"Okay. That's fine with me. Let's get started now." Frecia said as she sat crosswise on the ground not that far from Klemper's cabin. "I remember that my parents say that you have to meditate to first draw out your core power. Right?"
-
"Right, so, your parents told me that I should imagine my core as a giant snowball and to pull out the power was to make smaller snowballs and imagine them going into my hands and out of them. They also said that it is supposed to be different for each person, so I don't know how helpful that will be." Klemper explained, scratching his head at the end. Danny-2 chuckled at remembering that he said almost the same thing when he taught him.
=
It took until Lucius and Narcissa arrived for Frecia to generate a singular snowball. She was so excited that she didn't notice that her parents were there until they hugged her.
-
"That's wonderful, Cia." Lucius said to his daughter.
-
"How were you able to access your core? It is very dangerous for one to do so while your core isn't whole." Narcissa said, looking suspiciously at the two ghost boys.
-
"I have a technique that allows a Ghost or Spirit to merge their core together on their own." Danny-2 told Narcissa. "I have taught it to someone else before and there were no issues." He tried to assure her.
-
"Yeah, didn't you notice that I've grown and that my horns grew pointier? I grew up some." Frecia tried to defend her friends. "Why don't you show Phantom his outfits?" She tried to deflect.
-
"Very well then. Let's go inside and you can try on the outfits." Lucius said, leading everyone inside Klemper's cabin.
-
Narcissa laid out the outfits that she made on the back of the couch. They were a theme of whites, grays, and light blues. "I was thinking that you would like more outfits than just the one, so I made five." She said, presenting the outfits.
-
"Thank you, Narcissa. I appreciate it." Danny-2 smiled at the mother yeti. "Do you need to make some final fittings that I need to put on or something?" He asked Narcissa.
-
"There is no need. I have never gotten a measurement wrong, as I'm sure my husband has told you." Narcissa said. "You don't have to put them on now if you don't want to." She finished.
-
"Same goes with your armor as well. I made it so it would fit over your jumpsuit." Lucius spoke up, holding a clanging bag.
-
"Please put on the armor." Frecia pleaded childishly. "I want to see my savior in his shining armor." She said, clasping her hands together.
-
"Alright. If it fits over my suit, then I don't see why not." Danny-2 said, smiling at Frecia before turning to her parents. "Just so you know, the deal is over and you can take her back without worry." He told Lucius and Narcissa, who both nodded.
Danny-2 fitted his armor over the jumpsuit, thankfully Lucius had the wherewithal to make it easy to put on by oneself. After about five minutes of fastening straps and everything, Danny-2 looked pretty knightly.
-
Frecia squealed in delight. "You look so amazing in that, but Dad, did you have to make that many straps for his armor?" She asked her father.
-
"Yes, mostly because I usually make stuff for other yetis. So the size difference made me a bit self-conscious that it would fall off of him." Lucius answered his daughter.
-
"Here are the outfits that I made for you. I tend to work with smaller people more than my husband does, so I'm more confident in the sizes." Narcissa said as she handed me a bag of the clothes that she must have put in while Danny-2 was putting his armor on.
-
"Thank you, Narcissa, Lucius for the armor and the outfits." Danny-2 thanked the yeti parents. "I really must get going, I was on patrol when I found Frecia. I hope we get to meet again under more relaxed conditions." He said as he opened a portal out of Klemper's Cabin.
-
"Good bye, Phantom." Both Lucius and Narcissa said in unison.
-
"I really do hope we meet again." Frecia said, waving her hand in goodbye.
-
"See you next time, Phantom." Klemper said with a huge smile.
-
"Well, I'm off." Charybdis flew from her place next to the fire and went through the portal with Danny-2.
-
Danny-2's first stop was to his bedroom to drop off the bag of clothes. It was strange to watch himself sleeping. He transformed back into his classic jumpsuit and portaled out to high in the sky. 'Let's see, I stopped a petty crime, saved a noble's daughter, what's next?' Danny-2 asked himself. He thought about what to search for next. 'I have been focusing on Ghost and Spirit crimes. Why don't I try to stop human crime?' Danny-2 decided to do that.
Danny-2 used his town sense power to find human criminals in the act. He found a hostage situation happening downtown. 'I could get the hostages out, but it could be dangerous to do it alone.' Danny-2 thought to himself and smirked but shook his head. 'I should call Kim.' Danny-2 thought to himself as he pulled his phone out. He instantly put it away. 'No, I can do it myself. No need to bother her about that.' He thought to himself
-
Danny-2 and Charybdis flew towards the crime scene to find police already there. It was a bank, just called Amity Bank, and there was a blockade surrounding it. 'Charybdis, transform and grab as many hostages as you can, go invisible and intangible the whole time and get them behind the blockade.' Danny-2 thought to the golden ectopi.
-
'Got it. What will you do?' Charybdis asked.
-
'I'll be the Distraction. Maybe disarm the criminals. Leave all that to me.' Danny-2 told Charybdis as they flew into the bank. Danny-2 used his town sense power to determine how many criminals were in the building and found there to be only three. One with all the hostages, one in the offices, and the last one in the vault. Danny-2 made two more clones and sent them off to the other criminals, while he chose to distract the one with the hostages.
The hostage criminal held a rather large gun in his hands, one with a strap that was held up by his neck. Danny-2 silently, invisibly, touched the gun and willed it to become intangible. The gun fell from the criminal's hands and neck and Danny-2 caught it before it hit the ground. The criminal cursed and took a few steps back from the floating gun. Danny-2 used his super strength to break it in two.
Danny-2 flew to the door and threw the gun pieces outside, making them intangible before doing so. After doing that, he made himself visible. "Hello there, I'm Phantom. You know guns are dangerous, right?" Danny-2 asked rhetorically. He flew right up to the criminal and punched them right on the nose. Danny-2 didn't put all of his strength into the punch and only knocked the criminal out.
Danny-2 tied the criminal up in an ecto-tendril just as Charybdis decided to take out the hostages in his squid-like transformation. Danny-2 hung the criminal on the ceiling in case he woke up while Charybdis was taking out the hostages. Danny-2 checked in mentally with the other clones and they did something similar.
Danny-2 decided to take the criminals outside. Taking the one he took out first, he was intercepted by FBI agents coming into the building. "Oh awesome." Danny-2 said to the frozen agents. "I'm Phantom, self-proclaimed hero of Amity Park. I sensed the situation here and decided to help out. My Familiar took the hostages outside, behind the barricade. There are two more criminals in the back. One is tied up in the offices and the other is tied up in the vault." Danny-2 rambled and the first agent to come out of the stunned trance put handcuffs on the criminal that Danny-2 was levitating down.
"I'll take you to the others now if you'll follow me." This knocked the other agents out of their stunned trances, and they followed Danny-2 to where the other clones tied up the criminals. Danny had dispersed the clones as he got close to them to not give away that secret.
-
"Thank you, Phantom. For your assistance." The agent that was the first to come out of the shock said to the half ghost.
-
"You're welcome." Danny-2 said to the agent. "I should get going now." He said as he and Charybdis flew out of the building and back home. Danny-2 yawned and dispersed himself after he phased into his room. Charybdis then snuggled up next to the original Danny.
