Hello... Um... this is my first Danny Phantom story! ... Well at least the first one I've posted.

At the moment this story is my 'baby' I just love the plot and the characters i created. So if someone doesn't review this.... I'll feel really sad. :(

Anyway sit back (or forward if you can't read that well) and enjoy the story!


The ghost stared at the screen/portal. It showed a man about forty years old with strangely white hair playing chess with his cat. The ghost smiled as he said checkmate for about the thirtieth time. The man was good at chess, she would give him that, but he was lacking in some elements she knew were essential for a proper human life.

The scene wasn't unusual for the ghost or the man. She had been watching him do the same thing for months now. Honestly, they both needed to get a life, or afterlife as the case may be. Any sane person watching the ghost watching the man would probably wonder why any normal ghost would be so interested in a boring old human. But the truth was neither of them were normal.

The man was in fact half ghost, one of three that inhabited the world. Vlad Masters, or Vlad Plasmius as he was often called, was currently the mayor of Amity Park, home of one of the other half ghosts, Danny Fenton, or Danny Phantom, as he was known to most of the town. Vlad was also the 'father' of the last half-ghost, Dani/Danielle Phantom. The ghost knew that one action from any of the halfas could and would change everything. That was why she created them.

The Ghost was debatably more interesting than the man, but she was definitely more powerful, even if she didn't look it. You could see nothing of her face, if she even had one, for she appeared to be nothing but a long black cloak, the shadow from the hood covering her face and the sleeves covering her arms and hands. The only part of her form actually visible to anyone looking was a small wisp of a ghostly tail coming out of the bottom of her cloak.

"Still watching Plasmius, Infinity?" A blue ghost asked appearing behind the female.

"Yes," The ghost, Infinity, said smiling, "though you already knew that, Clockwork." Clockwork smiled.

"I might have, it is often hard to see your actions." He said floating over to her and changing into his younger form. Infinity smiled.

"And yet you seem to manage." She said her focus returning to the image of Vlad who had just gotten up from his chair.

"It is almost time." Clockwork said also looking at the picture as he changed to his oldest form.

"If you say so." Infinity said, "Time is your job after all."

"How are you planning to do this?" Clockwork asked raising an eyebrow. "You have yet to tell me."

"You'll see." She said waving her hand over the screen replacing the image of Vlad with one of the youngest halfa, Dani Phantom, as she flew over a forest in an undisclosed location. "The pieces are falling into place as we speak, and as you have noted it is almost time." Clockwork frowned, Infinity seemed a little too happy about this.

"As much as it seems like it, this isn't a game." He said changing into his adult form. "There are many things that could go wrong." Infinity seemed to ignore him as she concentrated on whatever she was doing with the screen, humming some tune never heard by anyone except clockwork and herself. He sighed. "I wish you would share your thoughts with me." Clockwork said floating away only barely catching her last words.

"If I did that, this wouldn't be nearly as interesting." Clockwork went back to his duties with a smile on his face.


Dani Phantom flew over some forest. Now I say 'some forest' because she had no idea where she was exactly. She had flown into a storm in the middle of the night and got blown off track, so now she wasn't even sure she was in the same country that she started in. Considering she had been flying for hours and had yet to see a sign of civilization, it had to be somewhere remote with few people, like Canada, or China, or Wisconsin… Actually, it could be a lot of places.

Suddenly she noticed that in her reverie she had accidentally drifted off to her right. A minute later she noticed that it was a good thing when she spotted a town a few miles away.

"Finally." She said, darting towards the town as fast as she could turning invisible when she was close enough to be seen. The town was surprisingly large for being in the middle of nowhere. It consisted of a bunch of houses surrounding a central area composed of shops, churches and the town's school. The entire town was crammed together as if the buildings were afraid of the forest surrounding them.

Dani flew into an alleyway between two shops and transformed back into her human form. Once she walked out of the alleyway she realized something, it was cold. She hadn't noticed it in her ghost form since in that form she was naturally cold, but as a human it was freezing! Shivering she ran into the nearest shop and blinked.

It was empty.

The building had looked warm and inviting from the outside but now that she was inside it was completely empty. And by empty I don't mean that they ran out of products to sell and the shelves were bare, no. There was nothing, the whole building was completely bare like someone had gutted it down to the core leaving only the outside standing. There wasn't even any pipes running through the ceiling.

Dani was definitely confused. But as heroic as her cousin, she was determined to find out what happened to the building. So braving the cold she ran outside and went next door, only to find the same thing as the first building. Okay, now she new something was up.

She went from building to building noticing that everywhere she went it was the same thing, empty building, normal outside. Curious she decided to check the houses, and what she found surprised her. All the doors were unlocked and every house still had all it's furniture inside it, some houses even looked lived in, and yet there was no soul to be found. There weren't even any ghosts for crying out loud!

"Something definitely isn't right." Dani decided sitting in the first building she had found.

"I swear I heard someone!" A woman shouted and by instinct Dani turned invisible. She walked to the front window in time to see a woman wearing a strange very heavy dress walk by with a man in a white suit.

"Well there's no one here," The man said, "Though it was good thinking on your part to put on your disguise before coming to check."

"Thanks," She said looking around for the person she could have sworn she had heard. "Well we'd better get back down to base before someone misses us." Dani had to hold back a gasp as the man and the woman walked into the building she was in. They walked to the back of the 'store' and opened a hidden door revealing a staircase going down under the town. Dani, determined to find out what was going on, followed them invisibly.

This was definitely the icing on the cake. Underneath the abandoned town was a laboratory for ghost testing! The woman and the man were only two of the dozens of people working there. Dani was so shocked she nearly lost her invisibility. She wandered around and watched as agents tested out weapons and did experiments with ectoplasm. Silently wondering how she was able to get in unnoticed, Dani spied a door that read, "Top Secret: only level three personal allowed" If that didn't scream 'you have to see this' nothing did.

Danielle easily phased through the metal door, and saw a bunch of people in white lab coats looking at something behind a glass window that Dani guessed was reinforced with ectoplasm.

"Are you sure you got the right DNA?" A man who was no doubt a commanding officer asked a nervous looking man.

"Yes sir," He said without hesitation holding out a bag full of white hair. "I wouldn't forget a DNA sample as hard to get as this." The officer snatched the bag from the man's hands.

"It looks right." He said examining it. "But what could have gone wrong?" The officer asked looking at whatever was behind the glass. Danielle had a sinking feeling that she new what was going on. Sure enough behind the window was a human toddler playing with some blocks in a completely white observing room. The boy had black hair, green eyes, and was wearing overalls and a red t-shirt. Dani had no doubt in her mind that he was a clone of the person with white hair. Poor kid, none of the scientists seemed happy with him, and he'd probably be doomed to be scrapped like Vlad had almost done with her.

"Maybe a ghost retains it's human DNA when it dies, so when you try and clone it, the clone is human." A woman suggested.

"That may be, but then why does he still exhibit ghost like abilities?" The officer asked.

"It could have something to do with the cloning process." A man suggested. The officer nodded.

"Very possible." He said staring at the child.

"But sir," A young man asked, "why is his hair black? I know ghosts are supposed to look like they did when they died, so then why is his hair black when Phantom's is White?"

"Danny!" Dani gasped quietly, looking at the boy who suddenly resembled her 'cousin' greatly. Immediately everything they had said made sense. The boy's hair was black because Danny's hair was black. He was human and showing ghost like abilities because Danny was half ghost half human. The boy was Danny's clone, which meant he was practically her brother. Dani felt a strange anger bubbling up inside her.

"I don't know," The officer said, "Maybe he died his hair white the day he died. It doesn't really matter, what we need is a clone of Phantom, not what he was like as a human. That ghost is the only one we know of that's powers grow and change, we need to figure out why and if possible train a 'Phantom' for ourselves to use against ghosts. It will be the ultimate weapon." His last words triggered something in Danielle and at that moment all hell broke loose.

By the time the people in the base were warned of the ghost attack, Danielle and the boy were gone along with any information the scientists had on the project.


"I AM THE BOX GHOST MASTER OF…" The ghost yelled once again failing to scare the people below him.

"Master of being a pain in my but!" A white haired ghost yelled flying up to come face to face with the box ghost. "Seriously, you come out of the ghost zone like every day and the same thing happens every time." He said crossing his arms and raising an eyebrow staring at the other ghost. "Why don't you just give up already?"

"THE BOX GHOST WILL NEVER GIVE UP, GHOST CHILD!" The box ghost yelled raising his arms and causing several boxes to fly at his opponent. The white haired ghost just sighed as he phased through the boxes, causing him no harm what so ever.

"Fine have it your way. Now guys!" He yelled at a girl wearing all black and a dark skinned boy with a red beret. The girl smiled as she pulled out a green and white scientific looking thermos and opened it causing a beam of bluish white light to come out and pull the box ghost into the thermos.

"I WILL RETURN!" The box ghost yelled as the girl put the cap on the thermos.

"It'd be better if you didn't." The white haired ghost said taking the thermos from the girl and, making sure no one was in sight, transforming from a ghost with white hair and green eyes to a human boy with black hair and blue eyes.

The boy was the last halfa, Danny Phantom, the hero of Amity Park. He made it his job to fight any ghost who dared attack his city, which, more often than not, included the box ghost.

"So who's up for going to the arcade?" The dark skinned boy, Tucker, asked as the trio walked down the street towards Danny's house.

"Sounds good," Danny said, "but I need to send ol' boxy here back to the ghost zone first." He shook the thermos to emphasize his point and you could vaguely hear the box ghost yelling inside.

"Why don't we just keep him in there?" Tucker suggested. "He's just going to end up back in it again." The Goth girl, Sam, frowned at this.

"Would you like to be stuck in a Thermos 24/7?" She asked incredulously. Tucker shrugged.

"Depends, How big is this Thermos, and does it have a fridge." He said smiling. Danny just rolled his eyes at his friends as they neared his house, the giant 'Fenton Works' sign glowing brightly.

"Well since I've actually been inside it," Danny said walking up the steps to his front door, "I'd have to say no. And if I was the box ghost I'd want to get out of there A… Whoah!" He was cut off as a ball of black red and blue tackled him as soon as he opened the door.

"Danny!" the girl yelled, hugging Danny so tight he could barely breathe.

"Danielle?" Danny asked from his spot on the ground. The black haired girl stood up allowing Danny both to breathe and to get up as well. "What are you doing here?" He asked as soon as he stood up. Danny looked his cousin over. It looked like she was just crying and she was really tired. "Are you alright?" Tears appeared in the corners of her eyes.

"I didn't know what to do," Dani started but the rest of what she was going to say made no sense to Danny since she started crying again.

"Hay, it's okay." He said going down to her eye level and wiping a tear out of the corner of her eye. Dani smiled. "Now what's going on?" Danny asked.

"In here," Dani said pulling Danny inside the house. Sam and Tucker followed closing the door behind them. Dani continued to pull him until they reached the living room, where a black haired toddler was sitting playing with a few blocks. Danny stared at him for a second.

"So what's the problem?" Danny asked, totally confused on why a two year old would be much of a problem. Dani sighed, walked over to the kid and picked him up.

"His name is David." She said as the kid, David, sucked on a block. "And well he's…" She paused trying to find the right way to put this, but lucky enough for her she didn't need to. David dropped his block and, failing to grab it back from his current position, he phased through Dani's arms to get at what appeared to be his favorite toy. "He's got ghost powers." Dani finished.

"Wow," Tucker said going up to David who was sucking on his block again. "He's really little." David stopped sucking on his block to look at Tucker, or more specifically, his red beret. "How'd this little tike get ghost powers?" he asked as David tried to grab the interesting hat, but Tucker didn't seem to notice.

"Well," Dani began giving David a teething ring so he wouldn't try to eat Tuckers hat, if he managed to get it. "I found him in a laboratory, and from what I understand," She looked at Danny, "He's your clone too."


Clockwork raised an eyebrow as he watched the scene unfold. Infinity was concentrating on another screen, humming her song, and didn't seem to notice he was there, but Clockwork knew better. From the notes she was humming, Clockwork guessed she was in the middle of… whatever she was doing. Sighing he paused the scene and floated over to look at the screen his counterpart was working with. On the screen was, what appeared to be, a skin colored blob. As he watched the blob changed, it grew arms, legs, and other features until what was once a blob became a human baby. Infinity's song came to an end and once the last note escaped her, the baby started to cry. Her eyes snapped open and she watched eagerly as the screen changed to one of a hospital where the baby she had just created was being born.

"He'll live," Clockwork said moving so he was next to her. Infinity didn't seem to hear him and kept staring at the scene intently.

"I know." She said suddenly, "but I always like to see my children's first moments in the world." Infinity glared at Clockwork, glowing green eyes shining brighter under her hood. He closed his eyes, knowing why she had shouted the word children and not looking forward to the verbal spar that would inevitably follow.

"You know why…" He started tiredly.

"Yes, I understand your side of the argument well enough," She said sharply. "But you have yet to understand mine." Clockwork frowned, this was the same argument they had been having since the beginning, but he didn't have time for this, well actually he did, but there were other matters to attend to.

"I know your argument," he began.

"Knowing is different than understanding, Clockwork." She snapped.

"And even if that is true, it is unlikely that I will understand in the next few minutes." Clockwork said sternly. Infinity glared at him for another moment before looking longingly at the screen where the baby was being handed to his mother.

"What did you want?" She asked quietly waving her hand over the screen, replacing the image with that of a swirling green vortex.

"I was watching this." Clockwork said motioning to the screen where the image of Dani, Danny, and David was still showing. "and I was wondering what this has to do with what you are trying to accomplish." Infinity floated closer to the screen and smiled.

"I told you to wait." She said tauntingly before flying over to another screen. The image changed to show Vlad once again playing chess with his cat. Clockwork glared at her for a minute before leaving the room. Infinity smirked, watching him leave from the corner of her eye. "Now Vlad," She said to the image once she was sure Clockwork was out of hearing range. "Lets see if you can play a little game with me."


So that's that tell me what you think... Oh and if anyone can think of a better name for this story, it would be greatly appreciated if you would share it with me, I didn't like this name very much but it was the best I could come up with. Well anyway, bye.
