The Halfa Prince

Chapter 25: A New Teacher

A/N: Helloooooo peoples

Clockwork: Hello everyone

Me: Why are you still here? I thought I kicked you out last chapter?

Clockwork: I thought this might be interesting so I came back

Me: Ugh, just what I need.

Clockwork: You brought me here and now I'm staying

Me: Fine, So I know I said before that I didn't know when I would update next but it turns out my excitement got the better of me. So here is chapter 25! Hope you like it! :))

Danny's POV

"So when do we start training?" I asked. Vizier looked surprised, "Whenever you are ready my Prince."

I stood up tall and transformed into my Ghost Prince form, "I'm ready." Vizier nodded, "Let's start with some basic things. How many duplicates can you create and control currently?"

"Ten," I replied.

"Show me," Vizier said.

I closed my eyes and felt my ghost energy split itself into 10 separate beings all linked to my consciousness. I opened my eyes to see Vizier stroking his bearded chin, "Excellent, now order them to do 10 different tasks," Vizier said. 

I closed my eyes again and started giving orders to each of the duplicates. "PRINCE PHANTOM!" Vizier shouted. My eyes flew open and I lost my concentration, causing all but two duplicates to disappear.

"Impressive," Vizier said, "Even though you were startled you managed to hold to not one but two duplicates."

I looked at the two duplicates that remained and let them poof out of existence, "Why did you do that?" I questioned.

"To see how strong your concentration skills were," Vizier replied, "And they are surprising good for having trained under Clockwork."

"What do you have against Clockwork?" I asked him.

Vizier frowned and looked away, "It's a personal matter. One of which you should not be concerned about," Vizier turned to face me, "We'll just say the Time Master and I have a long history and it's not exactly a good one."

I didn't push it any further than that, I couldn't risk upsetting Vizier. One hand I didn't know what he was capable of and two I needed him to teach me.

"So what next?" I asked.

"Have you started creating portals?" he asked. I nodded, "Good, at least the old ghost isn't completely incompetent," Vizier said. I had to hold back a rude remark, whatever happened between Clockwork and Vizier obviously had Vizier still bitter about it.

"How big are your portals?" Vizier asked, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Just bigger than my hand," I told him.

Vizier nodded, "Where were you trying to create a portal to?"

"Clockwork's chamber," I said.

Vizier's eyes widened but he quickly resumed his normal emotionless look, "Try it."

I was confused, "Try what?"

"Try creating a portal to Clockwork's chamber," Vizier said. I raised my eyebrows, "I don't think I can do that." Vizier placed a hand on my shoulder and I had to forcibly stop myself from blasting him. His touch felt so... dark.

"You are only held back by your own thoughts. I have seen your power Prince Phantom, you are capable of many things," he said to me.

Vizier released my shoulder, "Now, create a portal," he commanded.

I extended my hand and let my energy slowly flow out of my core and into my hand. "What are you doing?" Vizier questioned.

"Creating a portal, "I responded.

"No, you are doing it all wrong," Vizier said as he floated closer to me. I lowered my hand and stared at the Elder Spirit, "That's how I was taught to do it," I told him.

"By Clockwork, but you are now my student," Vizier said as he floated beside me, "Don't try to control the energy. Let it flow. And try tapping into the Ring of Rage, you have it so you might as well use it."

I glanced at the ring, "I'm not sure that's such a good idea."

"You accepted my offer to teach you, now I am teaching you and you won't listen. Do you want to learn or not?" Vizier ranted.

I took a step away from the slightly angry ghost and raised my hand again. I reached into my core and felt for the energy that belonged to the ring. I let some of it's energy flow into my hand along with my own energy without restraint. I opened my eyes and saw a reasonably sized portal. I stuck my head into it and saw the Fenton Ghost Portal.

I removed my head from the portal, "What is on the other side Prince Phantom?" Vizier asked. "The Fenton Ghost Portal," I told him.

Vizier nodded, "That is very good. You are getting closer to being able to pierce the barrier between our two dimensions." he said, "Now how do you feel?" I noticed that I didn't feel dizzy or tired like I had when I first tried a portal.

"I feel... powerful," I told the old ghost.

"That is because you used the ring. It feels good doesn't it? Like you can do so much more?" Vizier said.

I nodded as I curled my hands into fists and flaming green energy appeared. I moved my hands in circles, watching the elegant flames glow in the darkness. Before I knew it, another portal appeared. It was only large enough that it might fit my hand but it was still there.

I stared at the new portal, "You are advancing quickly my Prince," Vizier said as he lightly gripped my shoulder but this time, I didn't feel the need to blast him, "In time you will become so powerful, creating large portals will be as simple as wrapping yourself in your cape."

I smiled as I absorbed the two portals back into the ring, their energy flowing through me. The flames on my hands grew brighter. I shook my hands and the flames went away.

Vizier released my shoulder and floated away from me, "That is all for this evening, we will continue tomorrow night. Until then Prince Phantom, do keep this between us." With that Vizier disappeared into the darkness

I transformed back into my normal Danny Phantom form, still feeling the power course through me. It felt amazing, like I could do anything. I began the flight back home. Vizier had nothing to worry about.

There was no way I was going to risk losing my greatest teacher.
