"But there's one thing I have to know." Tucker looked at the two ghosts with a mature and serious tone.

"What?"

"Did Danny legit fart fire?" Danny gave a small growl of aggravation as Tucker started rolling on the floor with laughter. Just before the red beret wearing teen got back onto his feet, Dan gave a small chuckle and Tucker suddenly slipped through the floor with a short yelp.

"Hey. It's awful quite in here. Why don't we put on some music?"

"Actually, why don't WE go train some more." Dan gave a small growl as he placed his right hand upon Danny's head.

"Aw! Come on, Dan. I'm tired!"

"Tired of farting fire!?" The rest of the group glared at Tucker as he entered the room again through the door.

"Tuck, two things. One: That was only funny the first time, and two: Have you ever heard of knocking before you enter a closed room?"

"Focus."

"That's all you've been telling me to do!" Danny shouted as he continued to try to throw a more stronger flame from his palm. Other than having a constant flame for about two feet was helpful, but Danny was far from Dan's twenty foot ranged fire based attack.

"Tuck, why are you recording this?"

"I wanna catch his next fire fart on camera." Sam could only facepalm as the PDA filmed away at the possible event.

"WHY ISN'T THIS WORKING!?" The flame from Danny's hand shot out to a clear thirty foot trail as the halfa closed his eyes and yelled out in activation.

"It is working. You just needed more anger put into it." Dan smirked as the white haired ghost boy opened his eyes in surprise.

"Why didn't you say anything about that!?" Another yell and the long flame dissipated for a second. Dan was shot back by another flame as Danny used the older ghost as an outlet for aggression.

"He could have just gone back into the Ghost Zone for the Box Ghost if he needed to punch something."

"Or used his anger to do something more productive?" Jazz shrugged as she watched Dan hold her little brother back by his forehead as Danny swung his fists in a vain attempt to kick the older ghost's butt again.

"Faster!" Dan growled as he flew only a hundred and twelve miles an hour.

"This is as fast as I can fly, Dan!"

"Lies! I can fly eight times faster than this! You're more than able to do the same!" Dan barked back as he grabbed Danny's wrist and shot forward to eight hundred and ninety six miles an hour.

"Dan! Are you insane!?" Danny shouted as Amity Park sped past and the outlying forests were soon the only objects below Danny's feet.

"If this is the only way you can learn, so be it." Dan growled as he eased his grip on Danny's wrist.

"Not like this!" Danny bared his teeth back as he focused on flying beside his still possible future.

"... You'd better not fail me."

"I will never fail you."

Dan glared at the almost fifteen year old through the corners of his eyes. This wasn't helping... Danny gasped as his ghost sense went off. Dan growled as red mist flowed out of his nose and the threat lifted it's ugly face out from the tree tops.

"Halt!" The Fright Knight shouted as he held his sword out at the two approaching Phantoms.

"Ah... I was wondering where you were." Dan smiled as he stopped at the very edge of the sword. Danny hovering beside him with his fists lifted and ready to fight.

"I am giving you only one chance. Surrender and follow me to Plasmius to speak with him." The Fright Knight held his head high in confidence as he proclaimed the terms of surrender.

"I've got a bargain. Head back to Plasmius without losing a drop of ectoplasm now or fight me and get crammed into a soup can after I break your sword over your head." Dan snarled as he charged up a blast of ectoplasm in his clawed hands.

"Fine. If that is your decision. I shall bring you to Plasmius one way or another!" The Fright Night lifted his blade up and was tackled down to the ground by Dan. The fourteen year old Danny stayed above the conflict and looked for an opening to throw a fire ball.

Dan was holding The Fright Knight down with a clone as he repeatedly slashed through the armored ghost's unprotected neck. Dark green and purple ectoplasm splattered onto the ground with every cut that was made. The Fright Knight was vainly trying to grab his sword that was just too far out of reach from his hand. A third copy picked up the blade and lifted it high above it's head.

"Before I break every plate of metal, will you surrender and scamper off to Plasmius with your tail between your legs, or go back just barely still existing?" Dan growled as he regained the clone holding the sword and he held the blade at the ready.

"Never." The Fright Knight spat ectoplasm at Dan as he sealed his temporary fate.

"Fine. I see how it is." Dan laughed as he swung the sword down and the blade cracked as it collided with the helm of the suit of armor.

"Dan! Don't break his sword!" Danny looked up from his phone as he received a vital message from Sam.

"Why not? It's a flimsy piece of crap!" Dan growled as he examined the cracks in the metal.

"If you break the sword, then either the Ghost Zone gets devoured by a black hole, you become the next Fright Night, or The Fright Knight's power will be added to Pariah Dark's and he can get out of his coffin!"

"That actually is bad." Dan mumbled as he lowered the now delicate blade due his previous careless act.

"Hah! I have won this fight! You can only-Gah!" Dan silenced the knight as he stepped down on his throat.

"Please... You're far from victory." Dan growled as he kicked the knight's head.

"You wanna cram him in the thermos?" Danny asked as he landed near the sight of the beat up.

"Nah. I need to break something on him. Maybe his leg or an arm." Dan smiled as he picked up the right ankle and positioned the calf under his foot and added enough force to snap a tree branch.

The whole thing about ghosts not having bones is true, but the ectoplasm makes a synthetic structural system if the ghost is powerful enough.

Crack! And the Fright Knight is well over that level of power.

Dan smiled as he relished the sight of Dark's right hand ghost having a leg bent at the wrong point and at the wrong angle. Obviously the Knight wasn't crying out in pain, he ignores any kind of pain inflicted on him. Keeps his image looking tougher than it really is, but just seeing the ectoplasm flowing out from the leg plate was satisfying enough for Dan.

"Contain him." Dan smirked as he watched the beaten ghost disappear into the soup can. Dan took the thermos and teleported it to Vlad's house and watched Danny's eyes brighten in excitement.

"When will you teach me to do that?"

"When you can teleport."

"How long will that be?"

"When you start growing up."

"You have got to be kidding me." Vlad growled as he saw the Fenton Thermos teleport onto his desk. This obviously meant one thing. Dan kicked the crap out of The Fright Knight.

"What does it take to just speak a few words to that ghost?"

Danny quietly gave a yawn as the return home in the now rising moon revealed how much time passed. Dan had taken him to a clearing and had him focus on controlling what was burned. That session of training was actually cut short as a dry tree was burst into flame and a fire watch helicopter came whirling over to see what had caused the fire and to put it out.

"At least you didn't ignite that tree with your exploding farts." Tucker was never going to shut up about that. Danny made a mental note that if he ever did fart fire again, he'd send it Tucker's way if he was nearby.

"Go home and get some rest." Dan mumbled as he started to branch off from the path back to Amity Park.

"Where are you going?" Danny stopped Dan just before he went off to wherever he was going.

"Either to pay Vlad a visit or to enjoy my freedom while I still have it." Dan growled as he hoped that the fourteen year old wouldn't press further.

"So... Sometime Sunday then?"

"Fine."

Sunday
02:17 a.m.

Dan gave a exhale as he closed his eyes and waited.

Thankfully, he didn't have to wait for very long.

"What now, Dan?" Clockwork sighed as he teleported into the oddly peaceful clearing. Dan was in a calm forest over in the state of New York, this is where he would be during the nights of Danny's training.

"What does Vlad want from me?"

"He wants you to join him." Dan rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"I know that, but something tells me he wouldn't go through this much trouble to get me to join him." Dan sighed as he inched the bridge of his nose in light aggravation.

"Well... Perhaps he finds the want for you so great that he will not stop until he receives the possession over you."

"... And he never takes "No." for an answer..." Dan growled as he tried to think of other ways to get through Vlad's thick skull.

"I know of ways for you to get him to be quiet, but then all of the outcomes would cause a multitude of outcomes." Clockwork said as he transitioned between youth and adulthood.

"Is there one where I can get him to just stop bothering me and shut up?" Dan knitted his brows together as he he picked a leaf off of a low lying branch of the tree he was standing under. Clockwork only responded with a denying shake of his head.

"Sorry. I can't make all of the rules, but I do wish for this timeline to have Danny Phantom become the strongest half ghost and use his power for good... You do realize what the Observants would do if you resurfaced for good again, don't you?" Dan ignited the the leaf in anger as he thought of the possible future. Clockwork would just go back in time and send the fourteen year old Danny to defeat him again, and that Thermos was not comfortable.

"Not even just burning his cheese castle down would shut him up?"

"It would not. Vlad would just want you on his side even more."

"What about just ripping his-"

"Dan, the Observants have already noticed you helping Danny Fenton learn how to use his powers, but they do not want you to cause any permanent damage to any other ghosts in this timeline. Including the three halfa's." Dan looked up at Clockwork's last sentence.

"Three?"

Yes. Dani will arrive into this story. I decided to make this take place after the end of Season Two... so Season Three either hasn't/never happened in this story.

So, Chapter Seven and probably future chapters will have Dani in them... There's not really any pairing in this... probably just very light DannyXSam, but not very strong shipping. Probably just those two in an action scene and they momentarily end up in each other's arms and they blush for few seconds... And then Dan would probably smack Danny in the face.

Anyways, I'll see you guys later!
