I have DarkShinobi's permission to rewrite this and I hope you enjoy the new beginning and twist that I have!
Chapter 1: Falling from Grace
My name is Uatu the Watcher. I have watched over many worlds that have sprung up in the multiverse. I have seen what has happened, what is to become and what should change. Each world is different from the last with some similarities. What is fiction in one world may become true in another.
Every single thought has the potential to create a new world so the possibilities of them are endless with new ones springing up every day.
Why am I telling you this? It has to do with a hero of Amity Park, Illinois.
Amity Park is a normal city until an accident that created a hero unlike any other turned the place into the most haunted location in the world.
This is the story of Daniel James Fenton a fifteen year old teenager who a year ago became half ghost. His parents Jack and Maddie Fenton are Ghost Hunters who tried to break through the walls between the world of the living and the world of the dead but their machine failed… Or so they thought.
Encouraged by his friends Daniel entered the inactive portal at the age of fourteen only for his hands to brush the on button which for some reason was put on the inside of the machine. He was electrocuted enough to where he died yet the machine was so strong that it punched a hole between earth and the land of the dead releasing ecto energy into the electrocution saving him at the same time.
Since then he was the halfa. The arbiter between life and death and he used his powers to stop escaped ghosts from causing havoc in Amity Park. He was called a hero by some, a villain by others and both sides have evidence due to a mind control incident by a mortal named Freakshow.
But Danny preserved fighting even the all-powerful King of Ghosts, another halfa who has years of experience and a twisted, alternate future version of himself hell-bent on destroying his present.
Danny supposedly saved the world from something called the Disasteroid which revealed his halfa status making him a hero to everyone that is how his story is supposed to go. But someone tampered with time and changed history making this parallel world where something different will happen to him.
This world has mirrored the exact same events up to a month before the Disasteroid and yet it hasn't come. Most likely because this world is a mirror of the Marvel Universe as well where extraordinary people like the X-Men and the Fantastic Four fight the good fight. There are other teams like the Power Pack, New Warriors and even the solo heroes like Spider-Man and Daredevil but unlike the other worlds this world doesn't have an Avenger's team… At least not yet.
But for now my part in this is done the rest is up to young Danny Phantom.
~Amity Park Saturday July 6th, 2010~
"Hold still whelp!" A mechanized ghost with flickering green hair and wearing a black skintight hunting suit aimed a rocket gun at a boy with snowy white hair and glowing green eyes who wore a black Hazmat Suit with a ghostly white DP on the chest and ghostly white gloves, belt and boots.
The teen rolled his eyes. "Seriously Skulker, I'm trying to enjoy what's left of my Summer so can't you hunt for my pelt another time? Preferably during school?"
Skulker's answer was to fire his rockets to which the teen lazily put up a shield made of green ecto energy blocking the attacks. "I will have your pelt today!"
"Seriously man, it gets creepier every time you say that." The teen joked with an overconfident smirk. "You've been hunting me ever since I got these powers and while you may have been a challenge back then I know all of your tricks by now."
All that did was piss the ghost off as he came in with a glowing green machete popping out of his wrist guard but Danny put up his hands as they glowed blue and in a second Skulker was a block of ice and he fell to the ground landing there still frozen.
"You done?" The teen didn't even wait for the ghost to break out as he pulled out a silver thermos with a green F emblem on it and trapped Skulker in there. "Good, now I can get back to my break."
People cheered for him as he left. "YOU ROCK!"
"GO DANNY PHANTOM!"
"YOU DA GHOST!"
'Finally.' Danny thought with a smile. 'After a year of screams and hatred they're giving me a chance! They're finally accepting that a Ghost can be a protector.'
Of course there were others who think that their 'protector' was lulling them in a false sense of security before bringing a ghost invasion. Sure his parents didn't know he was Phantom but they were ghost hunters so it was to be expected.
Shaking his head Danny flew into an empty alleyway and focused as a white halo surrounded his torso before splitting apart and his look changed. His face stayed the same but his hair was now jet black and his eyes were cerulean blue. He now wore a white T-Shirt with a red circle on the front and blue jeans before he yawned.
"Man, good thing it's Summer otherwise I would've fallen asleep in class again." Danny chuckled as he left the alley and resumed his normal life when he smiled as he saw his two best friends. "SAM! TUCKER!"
Samantha Manson was a Goth girl with black hair who wore a black shirt and a black skirt with combat boots while Tucker Foley was an African American who wore a red beret, a yellow turtleneck, and green cargo pants. They were his best friends since preschool and they were there when he had the accident that made him half ghost. If it wasn't for them Danny wasn't sure what he would do.
"Danny!" Tucker gave him a fist bump. "You back already? You were only gone for three minutes."
"So was it the Box Ghost or Klemper this time?" Sam asked in an amused tone.
"Nope it was Skulker." Danny chuckled. "I froze him before sealing him inside the Thermos."
"Wow. It seems like all of your fights are getting easy." Tucker said with a laugh. "Just last week you beat Johnny 13, Amorpho tried to get revenge on you but you turned it around and you saved Dani from becoming a pile of ecto goo."
"How is Dani anyway?" Sam asked since she and Tucker didn't get a chance to talk to her.
"She's fine." Danny shrugged. "After we stopped her destabilization she flew off dramatically like last time."
"Still wants to see the world?" Tucker teased.
"Yeah, she'll be back someday but right now she's living her own life." Danny yawned. "So what's on the Agenda for today?"
Tucker checked his PDA. "How about Nasty Burger?"
Danny's stomach roared in agreement causing them to laugh as they walked off into the distance not knowing of someone watching them in silver armor with a black goatee and black shoulder length hair.
"What have you done?" A blue skinned ghost wearing purple with red eyes and a scar over his left eye asked as he appeared next to the man. "You should know better than to tamper with time it has far reaching-!"
"I know what it is capable of Clockwork." The man interrupted with a sadistic smirk. "I was just curious on how these two universes would be together."
"You're risking innocent lives to satisfy your curiosity?" Clockwork asked because this was the one being in the world who he couldn't predict. "Have you gone mad Beyonder?"
Beyonder chuckled. "Watch your tone Time Master. You may be the most powerful ghost in existence but don't forget who helped in creating you."
Clockwork scowled at the Beyonder knowing he was right. "Just what are you planning with young Daniel?"
"Have you grown attached to the young halfa?" Beyonder asked with a laugh. "You should know better than to let your emotions get the best of you."
"He is my responsibility-."
"Was your responsibility." Beyonder cut him off. "Not anymore."
"Web will hear about this." Clockwork wasn't giving up.
"I'm sure she will." With that they both disappeared.

Danny laughed with his friends as they spent a normal afternoon eating at Nasty Burger. "Let me get this straight, Tucker tried to ask Valerie out again?"
Tucker sighed with a smile. "Yeah, but she said she'll think about it so I have a chance!" He cheered. "After she comes back from vacation of course."
"Speaking of which she accepts you as a hero now?" Sam asked as she ate some fries.
Danny nodded. "Yeah after she found out about Vlad being a halfa and became friends with Dani, I think she guessed I was a halfa as well… But as far as I know she doesn't know who I am."
"Things are really changing." Tucker commented slurping his soda. "People love your hero half, Valerie doesn't shoot first ask questions never anymore, and you're working on making a treaty with the Ghost Zone."
"Yeah." Danny chuckled. "The Observer's may be a race of ghosts who don't interfere but they want peace as much as anyone else so I got some ambassadors working on the treaty and working on who will be in charge of the prison."
"Plus you also have the Far Frozen People helping you out as well." Sam pointed out referring to when Danny first gained his ice powers but she blinked when she saw Danny look out the window. "You okay?"
"It's weird." Danny muttered gaining confused looks. "Everything is going so well… It makes me think that a storm is coming."
"You mean something like Pariah?" Tucker asked remembering how strong the Ghost King was.
"Oh God I hope not." Danny muttered before Sam reached out and had his hand.
"Just remember that no matter what happens we'll always be there to help you out." Sam promised while Danny was turning a little red because they were holding hands.
"Thanks Sam."
Tucker rolled his eyes. "Get a room you two." He teased making them go red in the face.
"TUCKER!" They both cried out causing him to laugh at their embarrassment.

Vlad Masters an eccentric millionaire who was also the mayor of Amity Park watched on one of the many cameras he had around the city as Danny hung out with his friends.
'Laugh all you want Daniel.' Vlad thought as his hands clenched the sides of his chair. 'There will come a time when you are lost and I will be there to mold you into my son.'
The only reason that Vlad was intent on turning Danny into his son was because he was the only person that was just like him, a halfa. He was cheated out of his chance to ask Maddie Fenton his mom out when the Ghost Portal Prototype he helped Jack Fenton in college make blasted his face destroying any chance he had.
Vlad was certain that Jack did it on purpose because he could see that Maddie was falling for him. 'If it wasn't for that fat oaf I would've had the woman of my dreams.' Vlad has wanted to kill Jack ever since but he was always stopped by Daniel. 'If he would just see that his father is a true idiot then there wouldn't be an issue but no he has to go believe that he's a good man.'
"Do you want power?" Beyonder appeared behind Vlad making him jump.
"Who are you?" Vlad demanded about to call security.
"Wouldn't you like to know Plasmius?" As Beyonder said his ghost name he stopped as his finger was about to press the alarm button.
Snarling, Vlad changed to his ghost form which looked like a blue skinned vampire with blood red eyes and black hair gelled up like devil horns wearing a white royal suit and a white cape that had a tint of blood red on the inside. "Answer me!"
"I am the Beyonder." As the Beyonder spoke Vlad paused in shock.
'The Beyonder? The one who helped create sentient life?' Vlad took a step back because this man was a deity to ghosts. "I always thought you were a myth!"
Beyonder smirked. "There's always some truth in myths Plasmius, remember that."
"What do you want with me?" Vlad asked hesitantly because he had to be careful. This man could make him cease to exist with a simple wave of a finger.
"I wish to help you take what's yours." Beyonder took a seat lazily. "Do you want the power I'm offering you?"
Vlad was sorely tempted but he narrowed his eyes. "What's the catch?" He asked cautiously. "A Deity like you would offer anything out of charity."
Beyonder chuckled. "You are smart." He said with a dark glint. "I'm sorely curious about what could happen if I give a mortal, especially a powered one, extra powers. Call it research if you want."
"So I'm a Guinea Pig?" Vlad snarled not liking that.
"No." Beyonder stood up. "I can see that you will survive but you can have the power to take anything you want. To do anything. All you need to do is accept it."
Vlad wanted to decline so he could do it himself but something was tempting him into making this deal he could see images of him and Maddie together and Daniel calling him father so he smirked and shook Beyonder's hand. "I accept."
Beyonder smirked. "I knew you would." With that his eyes glowed as Vlad felt pain coursing through him and he screamed out. "You will have supreme power!"
Vlad laughed as he could feel it coursing through his veins. "This is true power… And I know just who to test it on."

After a bit Danny, Sam and Tucker were planning to head to the movies when his ghost sense went off. "Oh great again-?" Danny began before he shivered violently as the ghost sense happened again.
"Danny!" Sam and Tucker cried out as they grabbed his shoulders.
"T-This feeling." Danny's eyes widened. "My Ghost Sense only reacted like this when I faced him."
He was referring to Dan Phantom and both Sam and Tucker knew it.
"Is that right little badger?" A voice laced with fake concern spoke up and they spun around to see Plasmius only power was coming off of him in waves. "How's your afterlife going Daniel?"
"Vlad?" Danny narrowed his eyes. "I'm Going Ghost!" He shouted as he changed to his alter ego. "What are you doing here? What happened?"
"I was given power." Plasmius smirked evilly. "Now, let's see how you fare against a taste of it."
In a second Plasmius disappeared before something slammed into Danny sending him flying through three buildings in pain.
"Done already?" Plasmius sounded disappointed. "I was hoping for a challenge."
Danny stood up. "What happened to you?"
"This? Oh this is a gift from the Beyonder." Plasmius flew down slowly. "A Ghost Deity granted me power to take what I deserve!"
"Well you won't win!" Danny flew forward shooting ecto beams but Plasmius lazily dodged them with ease before slamming him into the ground.
"Actually I want to see how long you can go until you break so I'll be testing your obsession." Plasmius chuckled darkly.
"M-My obsession?" Danny shook his head as he got back up. "I don't have an obsession!"
"Daniel, every ghost has one." Plasmius told him. "Yours is to protect and I want you to watch as you see people you try to protect perish."
As he said perish Danny's eyes widened because none of his enemies except for Dan and Pariah tried to kill anyone. Even Plasmius never tried that. 'Is this new power messing with his mind?'
That was all Danny thought before Plasmius shot an overpowered ecto blast past Danny and he heard a scream so he spun around to see Dash Baxter, a blond haired jock in a letterman's jacket, who always picked on him with a gaping hole in his chest before he fell over dead.
People screamed as they started to run because this was the first time anyone was killed in a Ghost Attack.
"No." Danny whispered as he saw what happened while Plasmius laughed. "Y-You went too far this time Plasmius!"
"Oh I'm sorry." Plasmius sarcastically said with a chuckle. "How about this!" He blasted part of a building where people were running under so Danny flew forward powering an ecto shield to catch the debris from falling and he managed to stop those deaths but Plasmius blasted cars with people in them causing explosions.
"STOP IT!" Danny flew forward tackling Plasmius into the ground. "STOP KILLING PEOPLE!"
"See what I mean?" Plasmius chuckled. "You're not protecting people because of choice, it's your obsession!"
"Shut up Plasmius!" Danny went to punch him but Plasmius kicked him back.
"If you're that mad at me killing someone who bullied you and some random people you don't know then how would you feel about this?" Plasmius blasted more ecto energy and Danny turned to see that they were heading for Sam and Tucker!"
"NO!" Danny flew forward willing an ecto shield between the blasts and his friends but it shattered through like it was nothing and killed them. "SAM! TUCKER!"
"How pathetic." Plasmius chuckled as he stepped forward. "Unable to save your closest friends. What kind of hero are you?"
Danny clenched his fists as he felt rage coursing through him. "YOU BASTARD!" Danny turned towards Plasmius with blood red eyes. "I'll KILL YOU!"
Plasmius laughed as Danny flew at him but he simply sidestepped and backhanded him away before the Fenton Battle RV pulled up. "Freeze Spooks!" Jack Fenton shouted as he pulled out the Ecto Cannon along with Maddie Fenton.
Those two saw the dead bodies before seeing Sam and Tucker. "Where's Danny?" Maddie asked sharply.
"Stay back!" Danny stood up pissed. "I'm going to tear this bastard limb from limb for what he did!"
"Oh how scary!" Plasmius taunted as Danny shot more ecto beams. "The same tricks over again? You won't win like this."
Then Plasmius split himself to make an army but Danny took a deep breath and unleashed his Ghostly Wail for the first time letting everyone see how much power he had blasting Plasmius back but Plasmius got up like it was nothing as Danny fell to one knee panting.
"Even your most powerful attack doesn't have an effect on me." Then Plasmius saw the Fenton's about to shoot and he smirked. "Let's see how you take this!" He shot an ecto blast forward towards Jack but Danny flew up taking the hit before he hit the side of the Fenton RV changing back to normal in front of his parents.
"Danny?" Jack asked in shock that his son was the Ghost Boy.
"Taking the hit for your idiotic father Daniel?" Plasmius laughed. "You are pathetic even among Ghosts."
"S-Shut up." Danny glared as he changed back. "You are going to pay for what you did."
"Please, I'm even more powerful than Pariah Dark right now-!" Plasmius was interrupted by Jack and Maddie blasting at him.
"Get away from our son!" Maddie snarled as she kept blasting him until dust covered the area before he shot out and slammed his fist right through Jack's chest.
"DAD!" Danny shouted in horror as Jack fell over dead while Maddie went to shoot but Plasmius turned around and blasted the gun but he misfired and killed Maddie by accident. "MOM!"
"No." Plasmius stopped because he didn't mean to kill Maddie. 'I-I was supposed to marry her.' He said as the power started to leave him, allowing him to think clearly again and before he knew it he was punched in the face by a pissed Danny Phantom.
"YOU MONSTER!" Danny shouted as he kept punching Plasmius drawing blood. "YOU TOOK EVERTHING!" He kept punching Plasmius even when he reverted to human. "I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU!"
"FREEZE!" Danny looked over his shoulder to see the Guys In White showed up and all around him were dead bodies and a bloodied up Vlad Masters. "Phantom you are under arrest for the attack on Amity Park!"
"Are you- ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" Danny screamed in rage letting out a low Ghostly Wail. "I was fighting the real attacker and you blame it on me!"
"Put Master's down and surrender!" The GIW Agent ordered.
Danny snarled as he dropped Masters knowing he couldn't kill him and fight the GIW at the same time so he turned intangible and shot through the ground before emerging on the outskirts of Amity Park where he took off flying.
'I will make Master's pay for this.' Danny thought in anger as he flew off into the distance.
To Be Continued…
So what do you think of this new beginning to Avenging Spirits? I hope that you liked it and I will try to add more. If you have questions about what happened to the power that Plasmius had it was because he realized what he was doing after killing Maddie, which rendered his deal with Beyonder null and the power left him.
I'm actually surprised that I managed to make the beginning this long though. So review and tell me what you think.
