I don't own Danny Phantom or any of the characters. They are doing a life sentence to their original owners without the chance of parole. Enjoy part 6 of operation babysit.
Amity Park Playground
Danny was anything but pleased at the current situation at hand. It was bad enough that he was spotted with Dakota by the guys in white. But they also had no problem with shooting at not on him but Dakota who was nothing but an innocent baby? Danny not wanting to see Dakota hurt tried once again to scoop her up only for the itchy trigger figured Guys In White to fire again.
"I will warn you again human! Stop pushing the swing with the ghost baby in it, and back away!" One of the Guys In White said with his finger on the trigger.
"Oh come on she is just a… Ah!" Danny winced as a warning shot was fired just inches away from both him and Dakota.
"The next one won't miss child! Now step away from that ghost baby or we will put an ectoranium bullet in your skull as well as hers! This is your last warning!" Said another Guy In White agent.
The thought of getting shot with an ectoranium bullet wasn't at all a pretty one for Danny. However, at the same time he knew that if Dakota was harmed in any way let alone made 'dead dead' not only would he have hell to pay, but his entire home town would have to deal with it as well.
'There is no way in hell I am letting Dakota get shot! Sure she can be a pain in my ass, and at times a walking disaster for those she is around, but she is still just a baby.' Danny thought to himself only to hear a familiar scream.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Dakota screamed as she raised her body temperature by 2,000 degrees while setting herself on fire earning another scream.
"AHHHHHHHHHH! I am on fire get this brat off me!" The now wailing Guy In White as he began to stop, drop, and roll in the attempt to put the fire out.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"AHHHHHHHHHHH MY EARDRUMS ARE GOING TO… AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The second agent screamed changing from aching ears to screams of pain due to Dakota teleporting onto him while setting him on fire as well.
"WWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Dakota wailed once again as teleported from the second agent to the third only to scream in pain due to him turning on his own version of the Fenton's specter deflector before she could set him on fire.
"Nice try brat, but you won't be setting me on fire like you…"
"WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Dakota wailed once again due to the pain she felt from touching the GIW version of the Specter Deflector completely neutralizing the final agent just before telporting back to Danny.
"WWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Dakota screamed in agony once again threatening to burst Danny's eardrums.
As Dakota continued to wail at eardrum bursting levels loud enough for the entire city to hear, Danny doing his best to ignore the wailing activated his ice powers in an attempt to soothe the pain Dakota was feeling while singing the chorus of the song that calmed her down the first time around.
"Now hush little baby, don't you cry everything is going to be alright. Stiffen up that upper lip little lady I told you daddy's here to hold you through the night. I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why we feel how we feel inside. It may seem a little crazy pretty baby but I promise mama's going be alright." Danny sang which combined with the added the icy aura around him surprisingly soothed the little girl enough to calm her wailing.
However, even with the ice aura, and singing, Danny now holding Dakota in his hands could still see the injuries or rather boo-boo Dakota got from the Guys in White's version of the Specter deflector.
'Darn it, If Ember sees these marks on Dakota, I doubt I will get any rest from her or Skulker. While my ice aura, and singing seem to be keeping her calm I am going to need some help with this one from the other side. Clockwork, while I know he knows everything won't help me directly seeing as he is extremely cryptic with his responses, and Johnny and Kitty while I know they would help me if they could would tell Ember and I don't need that right now. So that leaves me with Frostbite, and…'
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
'Pandora it is. While she won't help Ember and Skulker due to them not being my friends, maybe she will help me with this situation.' Danny thought to himself before he looked around the area he was in.
A hotel in Egypt 30 hours later
"You know what? I don't have to take this from you Ember! We haven't been on vacation for 2 days yet, and now you want to melt me for protecting someone who actually shares an interest in what I do?!" Skulker spat in anger.
"That same bitch had her lips all over yours, and was trying to claim you for her own! And…"
"I told her I had a wife, child, and I wasn't going to do anything to ruin that even if the both of them drive me up the walls." Skulker spat in his defense.
Ember at this point not in the least willing to listen to reason felt her neon green eyes change blood red, and her normally blue flame change to a bright orange to due her anger with her husband. However, after about 5 seconds of anger her eyes went back to there normal neon green and her hair returned to it normal blue. However, in place of a look of anger was a very vindictive smile which if Skulker could would have wet his pants.
"You know what Skulker? You are absolutely right. Maybe I do need to chill out and have some time away from you. Ciao baby!" Ember replied before disappearing into a whirlwind of flames.
"Oh great now there is going to be even more trouble. I mean seriously I did nothing wrong and she wants me to admit I was wrong? There are times I wonder why I even married that walking headache. Might as well go back and do some hunting on my own." Skulker said to himself before he flew out of the hotel and went back to the African hunting grounds to hunt.
Pandora's realm at this moment
"And that is what happened Pandora. I know you normally wouldn't do anything to help Dakota because of her parents relationship with me, but this time it is me asking you for help. So please help make her wound better?" Danny pleaded almost to the point where he was going to get on his knees.
"I have no reason to deny you help Danny, besides..." Pandora replied before scooping up Dakota into one of her arms. "Even if she has parents I wouldn't lift a finger to help she is still an adorable child." Pandora replied before getting a good look at the burn Dakota took.
As she saw the injury getting worse she narrowed her eyes in disgust. How dare those idiots harm an innocent baby?!
'I swear if I ever have the displeasure of meeting those idiots I will pay them back for what they did to her. I know she isn't my child but the thought of hurting a baby ghost or human sickens me.' Pandora thought to herself while trying to contain her rage and anger.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
"It is ok Dakota, your discomfort will be over soon I promise." Pandora said in a sweet voice as she handed both Dakota and a blue jar to Danny.
"Seeing as I am too big to apply it correctly you will need to apply this to her wound. Just place some of the ointment on fingers and gently apply it on her inflamed area." Pandora replied to her younger half ghost friend.
Complying with Pandora's request Danny took some of the contents of the ointment and applied it gently to her inflamed skin. As the contents of the jar soaked into Dakota's skin the inflammation from her boo boo slowly began to vanish, and Dakota's wailing did the same. Seeing that she was feeling better Danny proceeded to sing the same song to her he did after the fire and the GIW attack. Eventually Dakota no longer able to feel the pain feel asleep in Danny's arms with a content look on her face.
"Thank you for your help Pandora, I don't know what I would have done if you couldn't help me." Danny explained as he now held the sleeping Dakota in his arms.
"It was my pleasure. It isn't very often that I get to help out with a baby especially seeing as most of the parents that reside here either don't like you or I don't know them. Stop by again if you need my help again." Pandora replied only for Cerberus to come into the room and approach Danny and Dakota.
Danny upon seeing the three headed dog instantly went on guard due to the possible threat he might hold, but upon the dog sniffing both Danny and Dakota the dog's expression changed from that of a cold blooded monster to that of a gentle teddy bear.
"Don't worry about Cerberus Danny he loves children as when it comes to them he wouldn't hurt a fly." Pandora explained before turning to her loyal pet. "No Cerberus she is sleeping you can't play with her right now." Pandora scolded causing the giant dog to whine a bit before walking away with a sad expression on his face.
"We will stop by on a later date before I have to give her back to Ember." Danny said teleporting away from Pandora's realm.
Guy is White HQ
One of the many agents who was in charge of overseeing her fellow member's safety frowned at she saw earlier. Her superior had ordered 3 members to go find and eliminate the source that matched the one that had destroyed the landmark that was the Amity park movie theater. While all this was going on she noticed that the vital signs of 2 of the three agents despite their protective gear were as soon as they were brought back were put on life support. The third agent while nowhere near as bad as his allies thanks to his quick thinking didn't escape injury. Thanks to Dakota's extremely loud wailing his eardurms were permanently damaged resulting in him never being able to hear anything for the rest of his life.
'Poor Tom, Dick, and Larry. Tom and Dick both have a wife and 3 kids, and that ghost was the cause of their families being put through this hell. Oh and Larry will never be able to hear his little girl's happy cries ever again.' The agent thought to herself as she finished up her paper work.
"Agent Samantha, did you find any clue as to the identity of what caused my agents to suffer such serious injuries?" Samantha's superior asked.
"No Ma'am, all I know is that said ghost has power of fire and heat seeing as Tom and Dick suffered massive 5th degree burns. When Larry recovers we will get the full story from him." Samantha explained.
"Have the lab techs improve the protection of the suits and armor. If this ghost can cause 5th degree burns to our agents wearing it then the protection isn't enough. As for Tom, and Dick, push their panic buttons, and let their loved ones know that they died honorably on the battle field batting an evil malevolent ghost." Her superior replied earning a frown from the agent.
"But they didn't die at the hands of said ghost or to their injuries as of yet. They are still alive and could possibly…"
"With the condition they are in they might as well be dead seeing as they will never have normal lives again! Now do as you are told agent! They knew the risks and rules when they took this job! Unless of course you want to give your life for what is left of theirs." Her superior said in a cold tone as she turned around already knowing what Samantha's response would be.
As Samantha pushed the panic buttons of Tom and Dick, her superior clenched her fist in anger.
'Damn it, now I am going to have to answer to my boss due to having to use the panic buttons for 2 of our agents. Oh I swear when I get my hands on that ghost it's fate will be so agonizing that it will wish it was never born.'
Skull island 11 Pm
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Dakota screamed knocking Danny out of his sleep.
Hearing the wailing infant cry her eyes out Danny once again picked her up and began to rock her while singing the lyrics to the song he knew would normally calm her down. However, this time around instead of calming her down Dakota proceeded to wail even louder while raising body Temperature to a near staggering level much to the discomfort of her babysitter.
In fact the only thing that spared him the Guys In White's fate was the fact that he instantly used his ice powers to counter her fire power. This went on for a minute until Dakota finally lowered her body temperature but like before was still in pain.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Ignoring his ringing eardrums Danny once again focused on trying to calm down the wailing infant as he had his clones go and fetch some formula and diapers hoping she was either hungry or wanted to get changed. Eventually the clone with the diapers showed up first and Danny proceeded to change Dakota's diaper.
The diaper when checked of course wasn't the issue seeing as Dakota hadn't done number one or number two, however this didn't stop her for unleashing a stream as golden as the yellow sun into Danny's face or at least she would have if he hadn't made him face intangible at the last second causing the girl to miss.
"Nice try Dakota, but you will have to do better than that to…"
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Dakota wailed once again causing Danny to stop mid taunt and focus on the matter at hand.
It was only while Danny was cleaning her up and changing her diaper that he noticed that the same area where Pandora helped treat her boo-boo was bright purple in comparison to her normally pale blue skin.
"Ugh stupid Guys In White! I know they have a vendetta against ghosts, but to take aim at us when all I was doing was pushing you in the swings me and my mom used to play on when I was your age?" Danny spat as he rubbed some more of the ointment Pandora gave him while adding a bit of his own natural ice powers to soothe the injured area.
Much to Danny's relief Dakota after receiving the special medicine along with the ice patch from Danny calmed down and surprisingly laid her head into his chest. It was then that the clone with the formula came and handed it to his original before disappearing out of existence. As if knowing that it was dinner time Dakota reached out and took hold of her own bottle as she drained the contents of the bottle as if it were the drink of the gods itself. After being burped and rocked Dakota once again went back into the land of dreams much to the young halfa's relief.
'Hopefully Dakota will sleep through the night cause even with my clones dealing with her is exhausting. I seriously don't envy Skulker and Ember and once this is over they better keep their end of the bargain.' Danny thought to himself as he laid on his back and went back to sleep with the sleeping Dakota in his arms.
Unknown to Danny a certain flaming haired green eyed rocker ghost watched the entire scene. The moment she saw the boo-boo on her baby she extremely tempted to kill Danny then and there due to this happening on his watch. However after seeing him deal with the situation and learning the reason why it happen she quickly reconsidered.
'I was originally hoping that Dakota would drive him up the walls and cause him to forfeit on looking after her for the week. But after seeing this it makes me wonder what would have happened if I had instead tried to woo him instead of… No Ember you are married to Skulker, and even if Baby pop is looking like the better father material Skulker is the better husband material. I will just ask Baby pop to give him some of the tips and things will work out better in the long run. Or I can just make Baby pop our babysitter from now on if he keeps this up.' Ember thought to herself before disappearing into a whirlwind of flames.
