Within the Shattered Reality, it had became known that Solar hadn't returned from leaving his post on finding Devina. Leaving their king Lucius to come home with a different approach, to either forget the girl escaped and leave it to the other realm to deal with her or find and drag her back himself.
"The mortal realm is very dangerous and mysterious place to us here, but they don't know anything about our realm either. Yet where is he?" Lucius said to himself along with his wife Dione who now sat with two babies in her arms, cooing and enjoying their infant lives. Beautiful mix of both parents. Both being boys. A life to be filled with constant competition for love and respect from both parents. Especially their father if they want to have a chance of ruling the kingdom next.
"It has been months now since he stepped foot into that cursed realm! I need my son back here where he belong" Dione said hating being away from their own offspring, the fear of death eats away at them everyday. What if he fell in battle? Or if he's stuck somewhere and no one can hear him?
"I'll-" Lucius was caught of when Solar barged in scratched, bruised and bleeding collapsing on the throne room floor. Dione's eyes widened when seeing him in such a state, but Lucius only looked disgusted that he failed to do such a simple task.
"Get up, Solar. And where is the reject?" Lucius stated knowing he can't hold any crowning if that thing isn't contained. How else can he kill it?
"She.. has friends in the mortal realm. A mate even, and he's very strong.. I failed you" Solar owned to his failure kneeling whilst bleeding blue ectoplasm from deep wounds, struggling to stay up.
"A ghost more powerful than you? That's impossible! Who are they!? I demand to know!" Lucius roared shooting up from his throne, causing the twins to cry startled by their sudden loud voice. Dione immediately began to hush the twins as Lucius walked down towards Solar who seemed mortified, know what he'll do to him since he saw first hand of what happens to those who fail to fulfill their promises.
"Sir, please. I don't mean to fail you" Solar quivered as he was grabbed by his hair, yanked up to meet Lucius' gaze.
"I said.. who is he!" Lucius growled repeating himself again, but this time he wants an answer. And Solar obliged for the only means for his life.
"His name is Dan Phantom.. he's a monster who can disguise himself among the humans. That's all I know about him, I swear!" Solar responded before thrown to the ground blood everywhere, glancing down at the boy he raised and now this is what he is. A pleading mess?
"Pathetic. You're supposed to be the next face to rule my empire once I retire.. looks like I have to cancel the coronation and wait for the twins to come of age instead" Lucius' words made Solar limp hearing the disappointment come from his mouth, whilst Lucius walked back to his throne beside his wife. "Prove your worth by getting both of those things here, and maybe I'll reconsider having you rule" Lucius added making Solar's head perk up, when hearing the opportunity to reclaim the rank and take his place on the throne.
"May I ask for some help?" Solar asked clutching the wound to control the bleeding, as the king nodded not uttering another word allowing Solar to limp out and get medical, before searching for anyone to help him complete his quest.
Solar got his wounds tended to, finally seeing his family only for a short time saying goodbye, and left again to find a suitable comrade to help him contain two individuals by the next full moon.
Searching throughout the several villages within the kingdom, no one was willing to help no matter how much money he gives them. Then it led him to search across the country to find potential hunters with experience to help him, and he eventually did.
A pure bred dragon hybrid male, over 7 feet tall scales covering parts of their arms cheeks, but completely over their hind legs which were completely dragon along with the tail. Other than that he appeared normal, and buff enough to take down a bear sized ghost or even a gigantic kaiju. His scales were black like obsidian, dark red hair, bright yellow eyes and pale skin that slowly faded out to black where the scales were.
"How many Mystic Chips and Blood Janne?" The beast held out his clawed hand that was covered in scales and. They too had pad in the centre of their palms and bottom of their feet, plus the finger tips so they can feel and leave fingerprints too.
"A bag full. Will this do?" Solar handed a large hand sized bag of chips and Janne' as the dragon took it and picked out one of them and bit it, testing for any false cheap material, but it was real.
"Deal. Where are we heading?" He asked with a determined look, tied the bag in their waist band only clothed from their upper body due to having dragon hind legs. Luckily no one can see his cock as it's hidden in their body like most scaled creatures.
"The Mortal Realm. I have two individuals I want you to help me acquire. But first, what is your name my scaly friend?" Solar replied seeing their eyes widen hearing the name of the destination of where they're going.
"The Mortal Realm? That's impossible, but how? That's incredibly risky especially for us" the dragon was shocked and regretting accepting the job offer, but it was too later. A deal had already been made.
"Your name?" Solar ignore his concerns and wanted to know their name. The warrior they're going to he partnered within until this task is done.
"Uh.. you can call me, Soreo. You're Solar, correct? The king's step son and soon to be ruler of the kingdom" they added now seeing some recognition on this ghost's appearance, and become more formal to not get himself killed.
"Just refer me as, Solar. I have to regain my title by completing this task. And if you help me succeed, I'll personally give you a good, well earning job once I become king" Solar confidently suggested making the dragon quite suspicious, but interested to see how far this will go. If not at least he has some coins.
"He doesn't think I'm this stupid right? Imma just go along with it and see how it goes" Soreo thought tail slightly swished hitting the group, but since Dragon hybrids are rare so their behaviour patterns are unknown. Solar was completely clueless on what's happening.
"We go to the portal at proximately one moon cycle, whilst it's at its highest point. That's when the portal is at its strongest" Solar stated getting close to whisper for the dragon, so it'll take it proximately 4 weeks and 1.5 day for the gateway to be properly accessible.
Back in the mortal realm, Devina was helping Dan fully move into her home. Reaching the year mark in their relationship. It felt right and suited them not only for privacy, but for space and peace as the city can be a very noise polluted place.
"You sure it's alright for me to move in with you?" Dan asked still in his human form carrying more of the heavy stuff, seeing a few boxes scattered everywhere in neat piles. Devina poked her head up from behind some boxes at him, seeing his unsure expression.
"I know it's nerve wracking to move to a place you're not exactly use to, but you can trust me. I'll easily help you settle in" her tone was gentle and understanding as she had been in the same predicament ever since she crashed into this strange world. He felt his shoulders become lighter when listening to them. "So do you want a separate room or share with me?" Devina randomly added not bothered with any suggestion, he was unsure if his stuff would fit, but that was when he remembered how big the wardrobe was in Devina's room. And it has the best bathroom too.
"I'll share with you. I don't think I'd be able to spend a night away from you" Dan answered being more positive about this, as she smiled at his decision to share the master bedroom together.
"Do you want me to help unpack or do you want to sort everything out to your liking? I don't really mind as it's your house now too" Devina stated coming over not wanting to damage anything he had brought here.
"I'll do it. I believe you've got some paperwork to do" Dan grinned knowing that she has to add him as a new member to the lease, making it official. She did the online work on the laptop upstairs in the bedroom, whilst he unpacked. Occasionally looking to see how much she's done or if they needed some help, but she didn't.
After a few hours it was done and sent out to be looked through for any false information before properly being put through.
"Mm.. that took longer than I had wanted it to be" Devina groan stretched her arms hearing them crack from their stiff posture. Dan came in seeing that she was done and had brought up some food and a cup of tea. Just some chapstick salad sandwiches.
"I'd thought you'd be hungry from all that typing" he gently placed them down on the desk, just as she put the laptop away. Taken back by this generous gesture.
"You don't have to do this for me, Dan. But I appreciate it" Devina was touched by this and placed a tender kissed on his lips for a moment. He melted into it, but wanted her to eat and hydrate if he wanted to do anything with them. "Also those cookies in the cookie jar. You can have them if you like, just don't get diabetes, it isn't nice" she added worrying about his sweet rough for chocolate chip cookies, a treat he absolutely loves.
"That's all I needed to hear" he perked up leaving for the kitchen again, as she chuckled at him before slowly eating the sandwiches he made for them.
After she had eaten and drank the tea and sandwiches, Devina took the pots taking them downstairs to wash them, suddenly feeling a strange wave of nausea reaching the stairs immediately stopping and sat down on the top step. Placing the pots down beside them.
"Ugh.. why is this happening again?" She groaned to herself, loud enough for Dan to hear and walk to the stairs cookie in his mouth. Spotting her with head in hands, something was definitely wrong.
"What's up? Is it the nausea again? I do hope you're drinking enough water, love" Dan was concerned for her health, knowing how she sometimes forgets to drink water whenever working or hyper focused on something. He walked upstairs and sat down beside her when she suddenly gaged and rushed to the bathroom, but fail now having clean throw up on her bedroom's wooden floor.
"Mm.. I really liked those sandwiches" Devina was clearly upset staring at the half digested vomit, Dan came in seeing the situation and knelt down rubbing her back.
"Why don't you get in bed and rest, I'll take care of the rest. You might have a stomach bug, so light meals and plenty of water for my little sunflower" Dan stated lifting her up sitting them on the bed and grabbed a black nightgown, helping her change into it before tucking her in.
"But I need to clean my mess" Devina tried to interject, but he didn't let her leave the bed. Keeping them in place so they can rest and fight against this stomachs bug.
"No. I'm doing it, so stay and rest. I ain't having you collapsing on me, I need you in my life or who knows what I would be right now" Dan responded sharing his concerns and worry of what he'll be if he were to lose her, but even Devina's smile alone made him feel at peace.
"Fine. I'll rest, just for you and for myself" she agreed reaching out and gently cupped his cheek, caressing it with her thumb. "I love you" the three words no one can ever get enough of, burying his face into her palm planting a gentle kiss.
"I love you too" he stayed a little longer than expected before the smell of her vomit disturbed the intimate atmosphere.
"I believe you said that you'll clean it up" Devina mentioned reminding him of what he said, sticking to his word not as squeamish as most would be. Stepping back he walked around the bed and towards the bedroom door, avoiding the vomit just to come back with cleaning products, bleach and a mop. His mouth and nose was covered by a black face mask, making Devina chuckle as he appeared like a cleaner making him playfully narrow his eyes at them, but began to clean.
Took a few minutes, but he managed to get everything cleaned up in secure bags, tying them up and threw them out in the bin before coming back to spray the room with air freshener.
"Care to nap with me now? Or do you plan to have a shower?" Devina asked still up as he took off the face mask, knowing he'll have to wash from what he's been doing all day.
"I'll have a quick shower, I absolutely reek of sweat and.. vomit" he replied looking at his shirt seeing the little blob, she laughed softly at him as he sighed shaking his head with a little chuckle. "You're impossible, love. But after I'm done I'll join you" he added heading into the bathroom leaving its door slightly ajar giving her ear shot of his activity inside.
"I'll probably be asleep when you're done" Devina called out laying down on her right side, which would make their back face where Dan would be sleeping. Emerging from the bathroom naked causally walking over to the wardrobe and picked out some Pjama trousers, and walked over to his side of the bed hair down slightly damp and shirtless.
The bed creaked as he got into bed, going under the blanket looking over at Devina's back seeing it slowly go up and down as she slept. The bed moved as he wiggled up behind her, wrapping his big arms around them in a back to chest embrace, accidentally waking her up.
"I was wondering when you'd get here" Devina tiredly said yawning exhausted giving into his gently hold, allowing him to snuggle up closer. This made her more sleep and drifted off again softly sleeping in his embrace, as he too slept once knowing that she is safe.
As the next full moon came in the following 4 weeks, the Fentons along with Devina have been invited to a party at a posh, heavily decorated mansion which was obviously from Vlad.
"I can't seem to fit in this damn dress.. am I getting fat?" Devina was struggling to fit in a nice black dress she bought last month, but thinking it'll fit. Yet it didn't seem to be going around the gut right.
"You're absolutely gorgeous no matter how much you weigh. How about the other dress we got you?" Dan suggested having no issue with Devina's sudden weight gain. He actually found it quite more alluring giving him more to grab.
"I guess I can try it on" she went to pull out a red flowing dress that showed a lot of their back and right leg, and when she put it on allowing him to see her in it. His jaw dropped, stunned with how it fit thanking himself that he got a size up just in case.
"You're..." he stopped eyes widened looking her up and down covering his mouth with a single hand, hiding his flustered state. Even if he had to wear a slightly tight black suit, it was dashing making him look handsome and mature.
"I'm what? Is it bad? I'll change" Devina panicked attempting to go swap dresses, when he grabbed her arm stopping them from taking this moment.
"No!.. I mean, no. You're absolutely stunning my love. It's suits you perfectly, and I'd love it if you wear it for me tonight as my beautiful rose" he appeared desperate for her to wear it, leaving Devina shocked on how he desperate they wanted her to wear it, but she couldn't deny that it actually did look better than the black one.
"Fine. I'll keep the dress on, if you promise to behave" Devina stated making him stiffen up knowing he'll have to be on his best behaviour if he ever wants to see her in this dress again.
"Anything. I'll do it" he agreed on the terms as she quickly adjusted her hair into an elegant messy bun with some shiny hair clips. Dan watched as she did her thing, but no makeup as she believed it ruins skin and because people say she doesn't need it.
They were intending to get their by car, but Dan got impatient and flew her in his arms to the location. Leaving them to land nearby to not be spotted before entering the property, and wait for the others to arrive.
"You almost ruined my hair" she whispered to him slightly adjusting it, as he lowly chuckle to himself making her playfully roll her eyes.
"Jazz thinks you're wearing that black dress, but she'll be surprised to see you in the one I got you from our first Christmas together" Dan stated curious to see how his sister would react on the sudden change in formal attire. Devins shrugged not really caring about much about clothes, as it's just an appliance humans need to protect their skin. And to not flash anyone with anything unsightly.
"Such a joyful time. No matter how many times you wanted to murder that old man" Devina laughed remembering it exactly how they almost wanted it to go. Family together, laughing, eating, watching movies and playing games. The perfect day only if it was missing that one person, Vlad and his slick advances on women.
"The smack you gave him too. Is it bad to say it turned me on?" He added with a grin joining in with the chuckling, finally inside the mention hearing the calm classical music playing from the orchestra. The room was filled with hundreds of people, tables and chairs decorated with expensive fabric making it quite a sight for a decent meal.
"Uh.. do you know where we're supposed to be sitting?" Devina asked turning to look at Dan who was a bit confused too, but pulled out his phone after remembering something. There it was a text from the family and their assigned table along with its number. 22.
"Hm, 22. I guess it's better than in the hundreds i suppose, come on, love. Follow me" Dan gestured offering his arm for her, as she linked on letting him to show the way. And in a few stressful minutes the table was found, and sat down.
"Finally. Now all we have to do is wait, right?" Devina asked looking at Dan again as he was then caught looking at her as if gazing at something breathtaking. But snapped into reality when he was caught.
"Uh.. yeah" Dan sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck, then he spotted the others waving them over. Jazz jogged over hugging Devina from behind.
"You made it! I wouldn't know what to do if I got stuck with these three all night" Jazz was glad to have her there, a calming aura and helping hand whenever she needs them.
"I'd be praying for you if I wasn't" Devina chuckled knowing how Jazz dreaded watching over her siblings, especially the mischievous ones and when they argue or fight which is almost impossible to ignore. Jazz let her go and sat down on the other side of them at the large round table.
However, what will happen at the party would make the party not only interesting, but catastrophic.
