This a Fenton Family-oriented chapter with a bit of background. I hope it came out fine.
Danny dodged the big shadows sent his way. Another day, another challenge for the throne. Except for this time, it was an Ancient Danny didn’t know. She was a being made of pure shadows and darkness.
And she had just proclaimed in front of Amity Park, including the GIW, that Danny was the fucking Ghost King. That will be a joy to deal with later.
Danny needed to put a stop to this. The being had already destroyed infrastructure and caused too many injuries. Danny didn’t want any deaths on his hands.
His parents were following their fight with the GAV, too afraid of hitting him to shoot any ectoblasters. The GIW had no such problems. Danny ended up dodging shadows, GIW blasters, and the random attack from a townsperson trying to be helpful.
“Have to get away from everyone,” Danny muttered to himself.
He flew to the empty park and duked it out with the Ancient Shadow. If it weren’t for his intangibility, Danny would have a shit ton of bruises instead of the few he did.
It was going badly when it took a turn for the worse. The Shadow turned six stories tall and somehow, impossibly, got stronger. Danny was at the end of his rope. He could feel his strength waning. Already, a white ring had appeared around his waist three separate times. Even though he didn’t need to breathe in his ghost form, he could still feel his lungs burning. Danny was going to lose, and a chaotic shadow would rule the Infinite Realms.
No, he wouldn’t allow it; he couldn’t!
Danny felt power growing deep in his chest and raring to be let out. His ghostly wail came out of him.
The Ancient didn’t stand a chance.
Danny used the Fenton Thermos to suck her up and let himself float down slowly. He was too tired to notice Agent K hiding behind a tree; he was too tired to keep his ghost form.
Danny sure felt the ectoblast hitting him.
Danny let go of the thermos and held on to his now bleeding shoulder.
“Freeze, ghost scum, under the Anti-Ecto Act Laws, you are to be detained and taken by GIW to be neutralized.”
Danny gritted his teeth and turned to run (he was too tired to transform) straight into Damian’s sword.
Danny woke up hyperventilating. He touched his chest. He was trying to stop the bleeding and remove the sword he felt protruding from it. It was there, the cold steel chilling him to his very core.
(Not like his ice, though, not the silly little tickles of frost; no, it was a straight-up chill that froze to the bone.)
It took a while for Danny to notice the strong arms around him as they rocked him. Then he heard the words.
“It’s okay, Dann-o, we got. We won’t let anything happen to you.”
Through blurry tears, Danny saw his dad’s large figure holding him tight. His mom was on the bed scratching his head, and his older sister was holding his hand up to her chest and taking deep breaths. Danny soon mimicked her.
“I’m sorry,” he eventually whispered through a hoarse throat, “did I wake you?”
“Oh, sweetie, don’t ever apologize about something like this,” his mom said.
Danny was about to apologize again but bit his tongue; he didn’t want his family to feel guilty about him feeling guilty. It was a cycle.
Danny sighed and decided to be selfish for once. He sank deeper into his family’s embrace.

Maddie tried to stitch Danny’s injuries as her husband drove away from their smoldering home.
The Fentons had contingency plans in case something like this happened; she just hoped it would never come to it. Thankfully, Jazz was home from university that weekend and could escape with them.
She shuddered to think about what the GIW would do if they had gotten to her while separated.
Danny sobbed in her arms.
“I’m sorry. This is all my fault. I’m so sorry.”
Maddie ignored Danny’s (unwarranted) apologies. She had to focus on his injuries first. Then she could comfort him emotionally.
“Sharp turn,” Jack called out, giving her enough time to put away the needle before he made a crazy move to avoid a shot from the pursuing white vans.
Fuck. Maddie wanted to tear them apart for even hurting her baby.
Danny stared at her with big, fearful eyes, and she had a flashback of a ten-year-old Danny with the same look as they first brought him home. She had promised to protect him; instead, she had gotten killed. Now, he was being chased by a shadowy government organization.
“I’m sorry,” was repeated over and over again from her baby’s mouth. It should’ve been her saying those words.

Danny finally cried himself to sleep in his father’s arms; Maddie continued scratching his head. She never wanted to let her small family go. Now, she feared Bruce Wayne, Batman, would try to take her baby away. If not him, then the GIW. If not them, then Danny’s responsibilities, and if not those, then…To say Maddie had separation anxiety would’ve been an understatement.
So, for the time being, she put away all those fears and stayed in bed with her family as they held their youngest.

Jazz used the encrypted laptop and smartphone that Tucker and Technus had programmed. Code Blackout had been implemented. Before the GIW had blown up Fenton Works, Tucker had downloaded a remote virus into all of their techs so they would be unsalvageable. Danny had let the being through the portal before it had been shut forever.
Now, they were in a random, run-down motel.
Danny fiddled with a bracelet hiding his ectosignature, looking out into the distance.
Jazz knew better than to say anything, but she did put her arms around his shoulder before giving him a quick kiss on his head.
They already had gotten in contact with Vlad.
After Danny’s secret was spilled, it didn’t take long for his parents to put together who and what Vlad was. They had made a deal; Vlad left them alone, and Maddie and Jack wouldn’t hunt him down for what they put Danny through.
(That truce almost went out the window when they found out about Dani. To say her parents were murderous would’ve been an understatement)
Now that they were on the run, they needed all the help they could get.
Vlad had set them up with a contact that could get them to Europe, where the Anti-Ecto Acts didn’t exist. They just had to get to New York by the end of the month without being caught.
Easy.
Thankfully, both Vlad and Sam had deposited enough money for them to survive in an untraceable account.
Now all they had to do was wait and escape.
____
Jack had always believed in ghosts.
He had believed in them even when he was called a whack job. And when he found Maddie, well, he wasn’t alone anymore.
Jack had never really believed in God, but as he held his small family, he prayed to whatever higher being would hear him that he would be enough to protect his family.
