Danny P.O.V.
I was flying through the sky, on my way home from my nightly patrol. Sam and Tucker weren't with me tonight; I told them to rest for tonight as we never really know how many ghosts we'll end up fighting.
So far, tonight had been pretty quiet, one encounter with the Box Ghost, and one fight with Skulker trying to get my pelt (Still gross.) As I headed towards my house, I wasn't aware of 3 figures following me, until it was too late. For the first time in forever, I let my guard down, thinking I wasn't gonna see any more trouble. Oh how wrong I was.
As I was floating, one of the figures aimed a rifle at me, and fired. I stopped moving because of the sound. That was the biggest and last mistake of my life. As I stopped, the bullet hit me in the chest, destroying my human heart and ghost core. I wanted to scream in pain, but the sound never came, and I was falling towards the ground, my ghostly appearance faded off of my body and I returned to my human appearance.
As I hit the ground, my vision was so blurry, I could hardly see anything. I was dying, and I knew it. I was vaguely aware of 3 white figures in front of me. One seemed to have a glowing thing in its hand.
"Ecto-scanners are picking up no ecto energy!" the figure said in surprise.
"How is that possible?" another asked.
"Phantom must have been half human." The first one theorised. I could feel myself fading away at this point.
"If its body is human now, it's useless. Let's just leave it here." The final figure said. I heard nothing more, as that is when I faded.
Clockwork P.O.V.
I was looking into my time windows, taking note of any fluctuations in the timeline.
"Nothing I need to focus on at this very moment." I thought to myself. Out of nowhere, I felt something disturbing. My ability to see Daniel's timeline had vanished; I no longer saw any of his future. My view into his timeline was already limited, so this was definitely not a good sign. I heard 2 voices call out to me.
"Clockwork." They said. I turned and saw 2 observants approaching me.
"What is wrong with Daniel?" I asked them calmly, with a hint of sternness in my tone.
"You're the Master of Time, you tell us." Observant 1 said with a bit of an attitude.
"Don't play games with me." I said with a little bit of venom in my voice.
"The boy has died." Observant 2 explained.
"He shall be reformed as a full ghost, a very powerful one, I might add." I narrowed my eyes.
"Powerful enough to escape my viewing abilities?" I asked. They both nodded.
"The boy will too powerful to handle this alone." Observant 1 said. I'd never let them know this, but I agreed.
"He will need help. You are his guardian, so he shall be reformed as your apprentice, and when the time comes for your retirement, he will take over as Master of Time, as you did millennia ago." Observant 2 explained. I didn't like that this had happened so soon. I knew Daniel would take over for me one day, but I had thought it would be a lot later in his life. I nodded and the observant left me to my thoughts. I got a room ready for my new apprentice, and waited for him to arrive.
A few hours later, a bright light appeared in my tower. When it faded, the figure of what used to be Danny Phantom was lying on the ground, passed out, possessing the appearance of a full ghost.
A/N: I hope you enjoy this story! This story is inspired by RaeSoul's story; Time Master's Apprentice. This not a re-write of that story, but my own version of what would happen if Danny became CW's apprentice.
