Danny Phantom: Finding the Lost King

How the Hell did they get it out of the Basement?!?!?

"Fuck!"

Danny just stared.

"How the fuck is it gone?!"

Danny stepped down into the room from the stairs, a look of utter horror plastered on his face.

In front of him was a giant hole where the portal used to be. The whole lab looked to have been ransacked from his late parents' inventions. Every blaster, every ghost themed tech, even the Fenton creep stick was gone. Shelves torn off the walls, tables flipped over, papers scattered everywhere.

He bent down and picked up a paper from the floor trying to see what had been on it, but the ink was too faded to make out any of the words. Dropping it he walked further into what was left of the lab.

The closer he got to the hole in the wall, the more Danny could not believe it. His first thought was how the hell did they manage to get it out of the wall, much less the basement. His next was, what is he going to do now? He needed the portal to get to the Ghost Zone, to get Dani to Frostbite.

Danny reached the hole and leaned heavily against the wall as he looked inside. It looked like the portal had been carved out of the wall itself. Wires and pipes were sticking out of the walls on the inside. Some of the wires were still sparking and a toxic green liquid dripped from the pipes.

Danny sighed, rubbing a hand down his face, a migraine starting to form. He knew what his next move needed to be but was reluctant to take that step. Other than his parent's portal, there was only one other portal that he knew of, and he was not looking forward to talking to the fruitloop.

Pushing off the wall, Danny took one last look around what was left of the lab and went back upstairs. Once he reached the ground floor, he quickly made his way to his bedroom. He opened the door slowly, not wanting the hinges to squeak. Even though Danny knew his daughter would not wake up from the noise, he didn't want to disturb her.

They had been through enough already.

Danny was silent as he walked over to the bed, sitting down gently beside Dani. He reached out and tenderly pulled her into his lap, wrapping his arms protectively around her. He buried his head into her dirty white hair, "I'm going to need to clean her up soon. Hell! I need a shower too. Don't when the last time I took one, if I am being honest with myself."

Danny chuckled at that thought as he started to rock his daughter back and forth on the bed. He scooted further back on the bed, leaning on the headboard. He took a deep shaky breath as he tried to bring comfort to his daughter. Even in sleep.

I remember tears streaming down your face

When I said I'll never let you go

When all those shadows almost killed your light

I remember you said don't leave me here alone

But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

Danny pressed his lips to the top of Dani as he sang, hoping even though she was asleep, she would be able to hear him sing to her.

Just close your eyes, the sun is going down

You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now

Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound

Grabbing the blankets, Danny pulled them up and over both him and Dani, tucking them in tightly as he hugged his daughter closer to his chest.

Don't you dare look out your window, darling, everything's on fire

The war outside our door keeps raging on

Hold onto this lullaby even when the music's gone

Danny closed his eyes, finally letting the exhaustion from all that had happened to him, take over. He might not need sleep, but he wanted it. He wanted to have happy dreams, now that Dani and him had escaped the GIW.

Just close your eyes, the sun is going down

You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now

Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound

Feeling content with his daughter in his arms, in the safety of his childhood bedroom.

Danny slept.
