Things in the Ghost Zone—sorry. Things in the Infinite Realms had calmed down quite a bit once the rest of the ghosts discovered that 1. Danny was technically a baby in ghost terms, and 2. The boy's grave was the portal.
No one had considered that a new Gatekeeper would need some training. Most of the time, Gatekeepers were Neverborn, and therefore having a little halfa as the guardian of a human-made portal, and being constantly bothered by people who thought that since there wasn't a designated guardian they could be rude, was a real headache.
But everything changed after the defeat of Pariah Dark.
After that adventure, Danny had decided to get to know the ghosts who almost never visited Amity Park better, hoping to be friends (actually, he wanted to escape one of his parents' arguments about whether Santa was real or not). Encountering a knight in low spirits, and feeling his instincts tell him something was wrong, the boy from both worlds decided to approach and ask about Nightmare's care.
Soon, Danny found himself involved in lessons on caring for mythological creatures, learning to distinguish between dimensions thanks to a minor accident in Clockwork Tower, and a few other things.
So when he detected the disappearance of a basilisk egg via summoning, he didn't hesitate to jump between dimensions to rescue the little creature and possibly the universe that had no idea what had happened.
However, he hadn't taken into account the time dilation that could exist between his dimension, the realms, and this specific universe. So the idea of taking the egg and jumping back home would have to include an extra step: making sure the little viper could survive the journey.
Nothing he couldn't handle, honestly. He had done it before, but this was the first time he had encountered a very, very persistent group of cultists who desperately wanted their own Lofcraftian beast. And that's why we find ourselves in the present, where a very worried Danny had wrapped the small, deadly spaghetti snake around his head so it could get the sunlight its species required. The only problem: Danny thought it would be a good idea to do this in a dog park.
When people noticed the boy had a snake, they ran away in terror. Only one boy stayed and decided to approach him.
"Excuse me. What kind of snake is it? It doesn't look like any I've ever seen before."
Danny just blinked at how calm the blue-eyed boy was, noticing the small, ghostly green note that floated for a few seconds on the black-haired boy's head.
Tired and with nothing to lose, the boy decided to follow the advice. "Basilisk." The boy made a face, not because he disliked the answer, but because he felt he was being infantilized.
"Tsk, Basilisk is a type of lizard." Danny sighed. He needed to explain more.
"I know. This is a mythical snake known as a Basilisk, she hatched two days ago so shes tiny, and non-lethal to humans- so long as they're relitively healthy and don't breath in her toxic breath."
That make the kid open his eyes and tryed to barely hiding his excitiment "Mythical beasts are real?"
Danny, looking at him like hes stupid. "Of course they are. She shouldn't be in this dimension, but some stupid magic user summoned her egg, luckily I got her before she hatched and got away. She has no predators in this dimension, so if she grew even half size it would ruin this world's ecosystem"
The kid eyes narrowing "What will you do with her now? Cull her? "
"Don't be stupid, I'm taking her back to her proper dimension. I only haven't done it yet because I want to get a few feedings in her first, make sure she can hunt and that the residual magic didn't harm her.
It would be a very bad situation if some magical residue were to make her sick. In that case, I'd have to check if it's something treatable, adaptable, or if I should just put her to sleep permanently to prevent her from suffering or posing a danger to this and four other worlds.
But I don't want to do that. Look at her! She's such a good girl who'll kill a dragon or two one day, right?" Danny started patting the little snake.
"Sure. Let me tell you how"
And so, Danny found a new friend. One little staby robin by the name of Damian that would help him find and take care of all the Mythical best that would had been sumoned to this dimencion.
So the next time the bat fam had to deal with a beast Robin just put out a prety strnge loking phone:
"Hey, Do you have a missing Chimera? Its semes a little irrated, how should i care of it untli you come pik it up?"
(idk how to continue this, and my job has called upon me, so im gona edit it or add more later)
