Me oh my, my lovely readers, this is Goliath Pyroson comin at you from his dorm suite at like 11;40 at night, bringing you the newest brainchild that i have birthed, and Danny Phantom is the subject at hand once more. I will warn you now, I'm not sure exactly where this is going. no it's not a prequel to The Summoning, yes I'm still gonna finish that up, but I want to give you all something to read while you wait!
and so without further adue, YO DANNY FENTON HE WAS JUST FOURTEEN
Danny is not a normal guy, in any sense of the word. His parents are geniuses in various scientifically quantified ways. Jack is an expert in mechanical engineering, Maddie is an excellent biochemist, and the two of them had discovered alternate realities, fought off paranormal entities in their years of travel between college and settling down. They invented technology that the world only dreamed of unless you're a member of the secret government agency called the Guys in White. They are also so obsessed with their particular field of study, paranormal science, that the two of them hardly recognized anything they made that isn't ghost related as truly significant or groundbreaking.
His sister is obviously as smart as their parents. Everyone who knows her name knows Jazz Fenton is a brilliant psychologist, a mathematical genius, and an A+ student all around. What most didn't know is that she also excelled in mechanical engineering and helped to build some of the technology that her parents made, even built the engine for their prized exploration vehicle the Specter Speedster. Really, she didn't see that as all that special either, it was something her parents could do faster than she and had faded into a mundane task whenever one of the previous inventions broke and her parents hadn't the time to fix it since they were on another project.
Danny himself is not far from the tree in intelligence, though he'd never recognize or acknowledge as such. Growing up in a house full of geniuses makes upgrading the prototype Gravity Inverter your parents made and helping your sister replace the ectoplasmically powered rifles hidden around the house in case of a ghost attack when a power surge had them all go off while still hidden in the walls seem ordinary. The process of rebuilding the guns from scratch and properly seating them in their proper place is tedious and used to be complex, but it's just something that he had grown to live with and wrote off as something anyone that might grow up in the same environment as he would have to figure out as well.
What Danny sees about himself as unique would have to be his walk into the failed interdimensional gateway that his parents had crafted where he'd accidentally turned it on. While it was plugged in, and he was inside. Needless to say, the amount of electrical discharge and the bombardment of transdimensional energy killed him, disassembling his very atomic structure. The fact that he's still around to guard the secret of the tale will tell you said atoms were put back together, that which made him a human resident of our world still present, for the most part. What had been lost to the electricity burning half of him away, was replaced with the energy of the world he had just opened a doorway to. Thus, he became the second half ghost, or halfa as the inhabitants of the Spirit World - or Ghost Zone as his parents called it - referred to his new kind as.
Unfortunately, along with being forced into this new state of being both alive and dead - is he really dead? Did ectoplasmic beings all count as dead beings or are some of them alive in their own way? He didn't want to be dead - came the burden of warding off the malicious beings who come through the portal. Some of the more significant of these ghostly foes are sent by the first of his kind to murder his father, whilst others have plans of their own to fulfill, and even one whose original plan, Danny didn't know. He had heard Danny's assumption of what he would do and rolled with it, trying to accomplish his goal with an obsessive determination that all of the ghosts seemed to share. An obsessive stubbornness that terrified the poor teenage defender of the living world.
Danny has his fair share of enemies, but he also has some friends and allies. His life is complicated, dangerous, and flat out exhausting. With no time to focus on school, barely any to hang out with his friends in a normal way, and the rest spent patrolling his city for ghosts and fighting the malevolent ones. Somehow, he's managing at the moment. Hovering like a Reaper over him is the fear of his parents - either being killed in the crossfire or killing him on a lab table - the other halfa, Vlad, the government agency out to get him, and every spirit and ghost coming through the portal in his basement or a natural one close by who wants to pick a fight with him and might eventually win and even his own possible future.
Daniel James Fenton is not a normal guy, but he has established his own sense of normal since he was fourteen years old. Unfortunately, Danny Phantom is about to have his sense of normalcy ripped away from him once again by the cruel mistress known as Fate and her partner in crime Destiny.
And just as Fate and Destiny conspired against Danny, so did they against his most powerful ally, Time.
Clockwork is not a fan of ripples in the Timestream. Things that had changed in the timeline they were watching over gave the Time Guardian and master a headache. Events as influential as this gave them head splitting migraines. Some being, some entity, some force had changed the course of Time, and centered the new events to come around three particular beings, though the third was a mild surprise. In their mirrors within the observation room of the Citadel of Time, Clockwork saw the three living halfas, Daniel Fenton/Phantom, Vlad Damian Masters/Plasmius, and Danielle Protea Phantom. That Vlad had cared even slightly enough to give her a middle name gave Clockwork something that they seldom had the privilege of having before Danny came into the picture: hope.
The halfas are a species endangered simply by the fact that they had come to be by the will of Fate and the Spirit World herself. But if Clockwork was correct in their reading of this timeline, they are about to become quite a bit less endangered. "Daniel needs to know of this…"
YES i do love tormenting you with omninous endings, no i will not reveal anything from The Summoning here, or vice versa. All shall be revealed in Time. Till next Time, I love you all, leave nice reviews, and remember!
HAIL PHANTOM, THE HYBRID KING!
