Chapter 8: Talks and too little fights

He clenched his fist, and their captivity was less uncomfortable. Not enough for them to do anything, though.

"Well, I guess we don't have anything better to do," his lips thinned.

"Fall dead," Sokka said weakly.

"If it is a joke, then it is the worst I have ever heard. Seriously? Saying it into the face of the walking corpse? Lame."

"Hey! Not my fault you are like this."

"Didn't stop you from making stupid jokes. I can feel offended for all I care."

"Not to ruin your friendly chat," Toph put in. "But isn't our mighty Lord of the Dead to go do his evil things?"

"Believe me, if I was evil we wouldn't be having this conversation," Danny said calmly. "But I guess you are right. Although I am in no hurry. After this is over, no one is going to care about you being here. Except for the princess, of course."

"Such loyal lapdog."

"Sokka," Toph said slowly.

Phantom found it amusing to see the young girl scold almost an adult. She didn't want to piss off the one who could finish them off in one blow. Not that they could anger him to that point. And she wanted him to go away so they could get out without being trapped again. Poor things didn't know that they lacked the power to even crack that ice. Well, he wasn't going to ruin their expectations yet. Better for them to find out by themselves. Danny got up and bowed theatrically.

"Well, good luck with getting out," he said, before walking off.

"I hate this guy," Sokka mumbled once he was out of reach.

"I can hear you!" Called Phantom from a distance in a sing song voice.

"Damn it."

Phantom wasn't exactly sure what to do next. Then it dawned upon him that the girls' Kioshi Warriors' disguise hadn't been figured out yet. They probably were there. But how would he bang into the Earth King's Throne room uninvited and without any puns? He had to think some on the way. Something flashy...He reached the place, and he knew that the plan had come to that point already, with the generals captured only he remained. Then he simply banged the huge doors opened.

On his place the Earth King jumped in surprise, his glasses leaping in the air as well. Danny kept grinning widely, while seeing his disguised companions' stunned faces. Maybe just comprehending the fact what he had just done.

"What's going on? Who let you in?" The monarch demanded to know.

"Nobody. Because there is no one outside to begin with. I have come to say that the Council of Five is now under arrest, Your Majesty."

Azula smirked on her place, but her back was turned to her 'boss'.

"What?! I have given no such command!" The king exclaimed, more out of shock than anger. "And who are you?"

"Daniel Phantom. The name is familiar, I hope."

The Earth King's face showed terror. Yes, the name of the Ghost King was known to him. If he hadn't known, the earth monarch wouldn't have believed that that boy was the one from descriptions. Phantom was known thanks to his assistance in the military campaigns, more so than the princess, because she was more subtle. His power showcases were enough to make the commanders wary of him nowadays.
