Oh, I'm looking forward to writing this one.

Eons pass for the wanderers of the soul.

Entities seek this hidden paradise,

of legends passed and stories of ole.

For neither virtue nor vice,

and greed nor goal,

are judged there by any device.

Trek open-minded and self-aware.

Look with an eye not of greed nor ire.

Keep this thought near, and bare

this guidance you may need prior.

For those that pursue this lost land,

I wish for them, no less, than success.

Let the pages in your very hand

be the first step towards Elsewhereness…

"Clockwork!" Two Observants called upon entering through the time ghost's door.

Without sparing the pair a glance, Clockwork continued watching the time stream silently. "For what reason did you bring your presence here?"

The two eyeballs looked at each other briefly, before they both floated closer in unison. "You've already seen the future," one spoke.

"You know what is about to come," the other added.

The master of time sighed, turning into his youthful form in the process. "I have," he confirmed.

"We should act before the entirety of the Ghost Zone plunges itself into senseless chaos."

Clockwork shifted to his eldest form. "We have no reason to act."

The second of the two pointed towards one of the screens. "Don't forget that your responsibility," the screen that was pointed at revealed Danny Phantom soaring through the ghost zone, before promptly crashing face first into one of the floating mounds of rock, "is what will prompt the mayhem."

The hand not occupied by his staff was fisted and rested against his waist. "Now that's just plain bias." Clockwork frowned as he shifted towards his adult form. "You can't simply blame him for every trivial disturbance in the Ghost Zone."

"Trivial? Disturbance?" one observant questioned.

"Nearly the entire Ghost Zone will be involved," the other followed up.

Clockwork's face remained neutral as he responded. "So too during the release of Pariah just over two years ago. We didn't interfere then."

"Because we already saw the inevitable outcome that was his defeat."

"By Daniel," Clockwork added.

"Who has now been deemed by the council as an unpredictable outlier of the time stream-"

"For the tribunal, maybe," he countered.

"-ever since your interference two years ago."

Clockwork shook his head. "You can't deny that compared to past incidents, this is a trifling case."

"Depending on which timeline."

"Which is set on the optimal path. That, I can guarantee."

The duo grunted. "Very well. We shall leave the discussion at that."

Clockwork nodded towards his guests. "Now, leave me be. You can inform the council that everything will be taken care of on its own. Their concern is unwarranted."

"You better know what you ar-"

"I know what I am doing." He turned back towards one of the multiple monitors around them.

The two Observants vaguely bowed before heading out the door.

"I always have, I always do, and I always will."

A/N: …I own nothing. Danny Phantom belongs to Butch Hartman.

Let the adventure begin.
