Danny Phantom: The Ghost Hero

Chapter 5

The dinner in the Midoriya household was comfortable, but slightly strange if Danny had to describe it. The food was great and the atmosphere was very nice. Danny even had a great time just talking with Izuku and Inko. But there was only one thing he was slightly annoyed by.

It wasn't that Inko and Izuku were irritating to be around or anything, it was just that they both constantly apologize and get so easily embarrassed.

If Danny didn't know any better he would have thought they both had red skin because of how many times they blushed in embarrassment. They were like the human embodiments of nervousness, embarrassment, and innocence rolled into a person, then that person had a kid.

But besides that Danny had a great time as it was his first family dinner....in a long time.

"I had fun. Thank you for inviting me," Danny sincerely thanked both Inko and Izuku as he made his way to leave the apartment.

It was already getting late as time had passed by much faster than Danny thought possible.

"It was our pleasure to have you," Inko and Izuku said together as they waved to Danny.

"Have a good night," Danny smiled as he slipped on his boots and went back to his apartment.

As he was walking back inside his apartment, Danny realized that he never got around to asking Izuku about his quirk.

Saving this question for a later date, Danny quickly took off his boots and stumbled his way to his new room. Once in his room, Danny stripped and haphazardly threw his clothes before collapsing on top of his new bed and soft comforter.

Danny was exhausted but fully satisfied from the meal he just had. Slowly closing his eyes, Danny for the first time in a while felt truly comfortable with his surroundings as he slipped into the realm of Nocturn.

[Danny's Mind]
"W..ak..e up.....Wake up, Danny Boy!"

Staring up at the blood-red sky around him, Danny could only sigh in annoyance and frustration. For about a year he's been having the same dream over and over again. Like a repetitive cycle that would never end.

The dreams were always of the same monster. The same devil that destroyed an entire world. The nightmare that snatched Danny's friends and family for him.

The incarceration of evil itself, Dan Phantom.

"What do you want, Dan?" Danny announced even though there seemed to be no one around him for miles.

For a few seconds, there was complete silence as Danny glared up at the blood-red sky. And then there was a deep baritone chuckled that still sent a slight shiver down Danny's spine.

"I'm still here," Suddenly appearing in the middle of the red sky was Dan Phantom in all his glory.

Slowly floating towards the ground, Dan grinned madly as his fangs easily poked out of his mouth.

"Hahaha. I still exist. That means you still turn into me," Dan laughed maniacally as a storm of ecto-energy began to brew behind him.

Standing at 7' tall with an incredibly muscular build, flaming white hair, and blue skin with red eyes. Dan Phantom looked like the devil himself.

Glaring at Dan with flecks of hate in his eyes, Danny could only release a sign in defeat as he stared at his future self from an alternate timeline.

"I still can't tell if you're an illusion in my own mind or maybe Nocturn just loves messing with me. Probably just slowly going crazy," Danny questioned as he made himself float in the sitting position.

For as long as he had these dreams no matter what he did they just never stopped coming. Danny had tried everything from fighting Dan, talking with him, even letting Dan kill him but nothing stopped these dreams from happening.
