Chapter 12: The Phantom Knight
Previously
"Wait, you don't understand! I don't work for any Dark One and I am not evil!..." Danny pleaded but the crowd wasn't listening to him.
"Thou Lies! Allow us be done with this wicked creature!.."Vlad shouted as the crowds all agreed.
However, before he could burn Danny at the stake, his rescue came in the most unexpected way possible.
"Methinks not!..." An echoing voice said.
The crowd gasped in horror, the Vlad look a like and Valerie look a like glared hard and Danny gasped when he saw who it was.
"Is this him?...'Danny whispered as he eyed the figure.
It was a figure wearing a strange version of a medieval knight suit. He was wearing black metal chest plate and beneath it, he wore a white, long sleeve leather shirt and a pair black pants. His arms were covered to the elbow with white gauntlets and his legs where also wearing matching metal boots. On him, was carrying a crossbow on the left below the chest plate were, a shield on his right arm and a sword on his belt. His entire body was covered and the only thing that could be seen was his eyes, as the rest of his face was covered with a metal face plate and his head concealed by a helmet.
He also had a crest on his chest that looked eerily like Danny's own DP symbol.
"TIS THE PHANTOM KNIGHT!..."The medieval version of Vlad shouted hatefully.
Danny heard this and saw amazed.
There is no doubt about it. This is him.
"The Phantom Knight..."He said as he knew that his theory was right.
If this kingdom is a medieval version of Amity Park, then The Phantom Knight is the medieval version of Danny Phantom.
Oh boy.
Danny blinked a bit when he saw the knightly version of himself appear to the scene, looking all dramatic and heroic.
"I look awesome in this world!..." Danny thought with a grin, impressed.
He was the only one who was glad to see him, as everyone else was either scared or looking at him with hate/anger.
The citizens looked particularly fearful.
"It's the dreaded Phantom Knight!..."One cowardly villager shouted before he and the rest left, leaving only the two Phantoms, the Medieval Vlad and his medieval minions.
"Okay, that proves that he is me! The people don't like him...just like high school..."Danny muttered, before he saw his counterpart speak.
"Vladimir Masterson! This stranger, though adorning strange garbs, is not guilty of any crime! Release Him!..."The Phantom Knight ordered and Danny, despite the situation, frowned.
"Okay, even if Ember and Kitty didn't go on a rampage the week Lancer covered Shakespeare, I can tell that I am being insulted..."Danny thought in mild annoyance.
Before he could voice any of it, the medieval version of Vlad or Vladimir Masterson spoke up, in argument to the ghostly knight.
"He did confess with his owneth tongue to being an evil spirit!..."Vladimir said.
"Yes, we all hath heard that gent confesseth..."A Medieval version of Mikey said, while dressed like a monk.
"I AM NOT EVIL!..."Danny shouted but the humans didn't listen
The Phantom Knight didn't budge, however, he did seem to listen to him before he turned to his version of Vlad.
"To exist is nay more a crime than for the sky to beste blue or horses to walketh upon their lord given legs! Only the most cowardly of curs wouldst maketh claimeth such things art wrong..."The Phantom Knight said eloquently, before turning to the King's suppose right hand man.
"Release this stranger or suffer the wrath of mine own sword!..." The Phantom Knight said, drawing his sword.
Once it left it's sheath, the sword glowed with green energy.
Ghostly green energy.
The Medieval Vlad just looked outraged and sent him a most hateful look.
"You dareth fig mine own honor as a gentleman, as well as threaten the king's most trusted advisor while while thee weareth the armor of a knight guards! Seize him, in the name of the king!..." Medieval Vlad shouted as he ordered the knights to deal with him.
"Yes, Lord Masterson..."Dash The Knight said with a sadistic smile on his face.
The medieval versions of Dash, Dale and Kwan then ran forward with swords drawn. The Phantom Knight looked at the other three knights and held his own sword out.
"Back! I beseech thee to standeth down as I wisheth not to causeth thou harmeth for doing thy oath-sworn duty to our King. Standeth down, gentlemen!..."The Phantom Knight said.
The Medieval Dash grinned sadistically as he said these words.
"A shame than for thee, for nothing would bringeth mine own fellows, most wondrous joy than bringing justice to the impostor to our order! Get him..."He shouted as he and the other knights ran towards him, determined to slice him to bits with their swords.
Less than a minute later, all three of them were on the ground, knocked cold, courtesy of the Phantom Knight, who didn't even have to use his sword, after all.
Danny saw the whole thing and looked pleased.
"Even just seeing Dash get hit is strangely satisfying..."Danny though as his double began to speak in a loud, almost Shakespearean sort of way.
"There shalt beest no killing this present today! So decrees, The Phantom Knight!..." The figure yelled before bravely slashing away at Danny's restraints.
Danny quickly flew into the air. He the arrows effects seemed to be wearing off , at least enough that he could move again.
Medieval Vlad looked even more angry at the sight as he dramatically pointed up to the floating ghost boy.
"Proof of what I informed thee, good folks of Amity! The Phantom is in league with evil spirits!..."He shouted.
"I AM NOT EVIL!...'Danny shouted but once again, no one listen to him.
He quickly flew down to his medieval counterpart
More knights appeared and they surged up with spears pointed at the two while Medieval Valerie notched another arrow.
"I'll have my vengeance on you, Phantom!..." She thought darkly.
Danny flew back to his medieval counterpart, who couldn't resist saying this bit.
"By Merlin, either thou art training to be my squire, or thou art the town fool..."The Phantom Knight said after seeing his state of dress.
"You're the Phantom of this world...I'm-..."Danny didn't get a chance to finish as a shrill but furious voice caught their attention.
"You!..." Valerie shouted as she notched another arrow.
"Thy luck has officially run out Phantom and vengeance shall be mine!..."She shouted.
The Phantom Knight soon stepped in front of Danny, holding his shield out to protect the both of them.
"Your claim of vengeance is sound yet thou aim your bow at the wrong target. I am not he who destroyed your ancestral home..."The Phantom Knight said but Valerie the archer refused to listen to him.
"All spirits art the same!..." Valerie shouted.
Danny rolled his eyes upon hearing this, already getting an idea what her problem is.
"Great, this Valerie is just as angry as the one back home..."Danny muttered as he thought about his almost girlfriend.
Valerie then fired her arrow that the Phantom Knight blocked with his shield. While the knights charged again, having recovered from the last attack, Phantom Knight blocked a swing from Kwan's sword before pushing him into Knight Dash. Medieval Valerie ran at the Phantom Knight, who reacted by stepping back. Medieval Valerie crashed into Medieval Dale.
"Off me, bounty hunting scum!..." Dale shouted as he pushed her off.
"Stay out of mine own way, fool!..." Valerie shouted.
She got back up and saw the Phantom Knight taking down a few knights with minimal trouble.
"This timeth thou shall feeleth the stingeth of mine own vengeance..." She shouted.
The Valerie loosed her arrow but the Phantom knight blocked with his shield. The arrow bounced off without leaving a dent. Using his crossbow, he fired an arrow across the square with a rope the arrow stabbed into the wall of a tavern that kinda looked like the Nasty Burger.
The Phantom Knight used his shield to slide across the rope dropping down between Danny and Medieval Vlad, who then ran off the platform.
The Phantom Knight then approached Danny, while their enemies were still a little out of it.
"Come hence, if be true thee value thy life..." Phantom Knight told Danny.
"I do value my life..." Danny said.
The two of them then began running, both trying desperately to avoid being hit by Valerie's blood blossom dipped arrows. However, before they could get far, the rest of the knights arrived and circled them, all of them pointing their arrows.
Danny then turned to the Phantom Knight, whispering this.
"Do you trust me?..."He asked. The Phantom Knight looked at Danny.
"Not particularly Sir, we just hath met..." He said jokingly.
"Hey, you do witty banter too..." Danny said, pleased.
"Of course, tis throws the enemy off their focus...and t's amusing..." the Phantom Knight
"Pardon, what doest thou mean by too?..."He asked.
Before Danny could answer, the medieval Vlad started ranting again in the medieval way of talking.
"Servants of the Dark one, none shalt escapeth justices burning flame! FIRETH!..." Vladimir yelled the knights loosed their arrows.
"Come on!..." Danny said as he quickly grabbed his doppelganger.
Danny grabbed onto the Phantom the two turned intangible, phasing through the platform into the ground. The arrow flew past where they were into the burning pyre.
They were gone.
With Danny
Danny and the Phantom Knight managed to escape. They appeared in an alley, far away from the angry mob and blood thirsty knights.
Danny stepped back the Phantom looked at him.
He realized that he had just gotten him away. Sure, the Phantom Knight could have done so on his own, but this stranger did went out of his way to help him.
He suppose he does owe him his appreciation, so the knightly hero did a small bow to the other male.
"I thank thee, stranger. It seems I am in thy debt..."The Phantom Knight said to the white haired boy.
"No problem. You did the same thing for me. Thanks for getting me out of there before they tried to barbecue me...'Danny said.
"Pardon?...'The Knight questioned.
"Uh..burn me..."Danny explained.
"Most of the timeth, the people whom endeth up there art simple mortals who just hadst the misfortune of one person accusing those folk of being a witch.I cannot just simply standeth by and alloweth the innocent suffer due to the dangers of frightened fools..."He said, before the knight approached him.
"And yet, it seemeth this timeth, those gents have gotten someone who doest posses power? So, whom and what art thee? Why doest doth posses features that art very much liketh mineth? Art thee another spirit cometh to challenge me?..." Phantom Knight questioned with an amused tone.
"Uh... no." Danny answered.
"Then I asketh thee this, once more...wherefore doth thine appearance resemble mineth? Art though a fool, or seeking to be my squire?..."The Phantom asked.
"Neither! I'm you, from another world!..." Danny insisted.
The Phantom Knight, despite having been all gentleman like a few moments ago, didn't look like he believed him. And when he spoke, it just confirmed that fact.
"A fool it is... one who is't shouldst leaveth, less Vladimir wishes to manipulateth the people against thee!..." Phantom Knight said before turning around and leaving.
"Wait! Danny!.." Danny said.
That made the knight stop, looking shocked to hear that name.
"What didst thou calleth me?...'The Phantom Knight demanded, no longer looking like he wanted to be friendly.
"Danny... that's your real name, right?..."Danny asked in a weak sounding tone.
Suddenly, the knight pulled out his sword, which was now glowing bright green and he now pointed it directly towards Danny.
Yep, he definitely wasn't feeling friendly now.
"How doth thee knoweth this? Explain thy self!..." The Phantom Knight demanded.
Danny realized he has no choice here and he needs all of the help that he can get. He took a deep sigh.
"Because..." Danny looked around.
Seeing nobody was present but them, he morphed to human form. The Phantom Knight saw this and gasped, nearly dropping his glowing sword in the process once Danny's transformation was complete.
"Do I look familiar?..."He asked, bracing himself for the knight's reaction.
"By the heavens above!..." The Phantom Knight said reaching up to his face plate, lifting it up revealing a very familiar set of green eyes and long white hair.
There was then a pair of ring appear, solely around the face as the armor seem to be the same. The only thing that chance was that his hair was now black and his eyes were now blue.
He didn't care as he was too busy looking at the face before him. It's a face that he saw whenever he looked in a mirror.
"How doest thou posses mine own visage? Mine own mortal face?..."He asked in an astonished tone.
"Like I said, I am you! I'm from-
Danny fell back landing against the wall. The Phantom knight knelt down besides him, looking concern.
"Stranger, art thou feeling well?..."The Phantom Knight asked, no longer being hostile.
"I'm...I'm fine...'Danny said, trying to get up.
He didn't realize just how tired he was. Between the fight with Vlad and Deadeye Plasmius plus the Blood Blossom Arrow he just barely recovered from...well, it took more out of him than he thought.
"I...How?..."Was all he could say.
Danny sighed .
"It's a long story..."He said.
The sound of footsteps marching could be heard as Danny's medieval doppelgänger lowered his face plate and helped him to his feet.
"A tale that shalt waiteth till later to beest toldeth... but toldeth it shalt beest..we must flee before Masterson's guards findeth us..."The Knight said.
Danny got up and nodded. He didn't feel like nearly being burned at the stake again.
"I promise that I will tell you everything but first...Do you have a place where I can hide?..."Danny asked.
"Indeed, I doth knoweth of a lodging we can encave..."The Phantom Knight said as he put his helmet back on.
Danny, who barely understood half of what he just said, just stood up.
"I really hope that means yes...'Danny muttered before the Phantom Knight grabbed his arm.
"Followeth me..The Knight ordered and soon his entire body started glowing green and before Danny knew it, the knight soon fazed out of there.
