Danny phantom multiverse
universe:5
Daniel Fenton sat on the roof of Fenton Works, the home/lab of his ghost hunter family. It had been about month since his accident that changed his life. When his parents tried to create a portal to the ghost dimension. They had gone inside the device that would create the portal, imagining the possibilities of what would be on the other side. He hit a rather badly placed on switch and it turn on altering his DNA. He gained ghost powers he had trouble controlling them. He had been lucky and not been caught phasing through objects or randomly disappearing.
His parents are the most well known ghost hunters in the world. Jack and Maddie Fenton had been interested in ghosts for a long time but it wasn't until college they were able to be start research. They met Vlad Masters another student who befriended them and helped with their ghost research;however things went wrong. Their first ghost portal malfunctioned and nearly killed him with a near fatal case of ecto-acne. They stayed close as he recovered but they were never the same. They developed a hatred for ghosts.
He sat there thinking of what he could do with his new powers. He had been raised to think that ghosts were naturally evil and existed only to torment the living. He knew that he could do good with these powers but he didn't know how. He used them mostly to go places and disappear when he needed or more often wanted to. He had always been an outsider and had 2 friends Tucker Foley and Sam Manson,but after his accident he had stopped being around them. He didn't want them to see him as a freak. He had not been that close to anyone. That made his new powers very unnoticeable to most.
It was a few days after school started when things started to change. Sam, a embodiment of a vegan flower child, had protested the menu since the first day of middle school and the school board caved after a suspected bribe from her rich parents. The menu had been replaced with the worst imitation of vegan that Danny had ever seen. It was a piece of sod on a bread which was inedible by anyone. The few students that dared to try were quickly made sick. Tucker was hit the hardest he would not eat anything that didn't have a face; he is the anti-vegan. Danny was trying to comfort him but then he felt a strange sensation then let out a breath of air that was visible. He turned and that's when his life changed forever.
She looked fairly normal aside from the pale skin and green glow that makes her skin appear greenish. She stood behind the lunch line,not serving the food and appeared to be pacing. Danny thought this would be a good time to actually talk to a ghost. He slipped under an empty table and transformed into his ghostly self. He flew over invisibly to where she was, no one would notice his absence. She looked over to him. "Why hello young man could you help me? I'm looking for the meat loaf but I can't seem to find it." She says sweetly.
"I'm sorry but the menu has been changed" Danny said expecting her to freak out.
She just looked concerned "That's not good children need a good balanced diet. I made a perfectly balanced menu here over 50 years ago. It was all I had left here." she said as she started to cry.
Danny could have never thought a ghost could feel anything let alone the sadness of being forgotten. All his life he had been taught ghosts a corrupted remains of a human after death. His parents destroyed so many ghosts in front of him and now he felt guilt for all of it knowing they were just like people.
"You won't be able to stay here." He tells her. "This world very hostile to ghosts they'll destroy you if you're caught." She wasn't bothered but the warning. "If I'm completely forgotten why am I still here at all." was all she said. Danny was not going to let a sweet and innocent old woman get captured. The time he spent with her was cut short. They talked alone over several days in that time he learned so much about her life before and after death, that he never would have thought possible. He was stayed longer after lunch one day. when he didn't show up to class his parents were called. They arrived in less than 15 minutes.
When his parents walked through the door Maddie Fenton was in a panicked state "Where could my baby be?" she says worried like any mom would be. "Don't worry, Maddie, he is here somewhere he's only been missing 20 minutes at best" said Jack. They were met by Mr Lancer the vice-principal "Mr. and Mrs. Fenton so good to see you again. I haven't seen the last PTA meeting." he said. Jack didn't have time for pleasantries "Our son is missing so get out of our way." He said gruffly. Mr. lancer stepped aside and let them go freely into the school. He knew better than cross the Fentons. That's what happened to the last Vice principal.
Jack Fenton was once a happy-go-lucky and mostly oblivious moron (his own words) but that changed as he watch Vlad recover slowly in his hospital bed all those years ago. He felt haunted knowing he had caused that accident with his recklessness. It was his error that caused the ecto-impurities in Vlad's system. He was afraid that Danny would have some kind of after effects from his lab accident but none were obvious. He was either lucky or it was a delay reaction. It didn't matter to Jack which ever was the case he would keep a watch on Danny for as long as he needed.
Danny,still unaware how much time had past, continued talking the ghost he had come to know as Annabelle. Then suddenly the cafeteria doors opened and the Fentons walked in Maddie, Jack, and even Jazz was there. They looked around trying to find any trace of Danny Fenton. When suddenly Jazz yells out "I don't have anything on Danny but I'm picking up extreme ecto energy residue under this table." the scanner lit up with readings the Fentons had never seen before. It was as if a ghost simply blinked into existence.
With the thought of a ghost on school grounds Jack's mind raced thinking it appeared and might have been attracted to Danny because of his accident. Then Jack turned around. He saw not just one ghost but two; they were unaware of the Fentons. Jack reached slowly for his thermos,with a flick of his wrist he shot out an energy net out towards the ghosts. He captured one of them but the ghost boy had vanished too fast for Jack to catch. He knew something was off about that one couldn't place it. The ghost boy looked eerily similar to his own son. He was determined to get to the bottom of it, but then Danny emerged from the cafeteria bathroom seemingly unaware of what had happened.
"What kind of school are you running here?!" Maddie yells at Mr Lancer "We bagged a ghost and you called us down here and you didn't bother to check the bathrooms first?!" She was furious, Jack had to calm her down as all four Fentons left. Jack knew just how to make her smile;he held the thermos up "Well we got a ghost you know what that means" he said with an almost sadistic edge to his gleeful voice. Maddie smiled wickedly.
Jazz sits on the back seat with Danny with a look on her face that was like a giddy giggling little girl. It would have been mistaken for cute,but Danny knew better. That was the look she got after every successful ghost hunt. Now that Danny knew ghosts weren't just creatures it made what was coming even worse. He sat quietly in dread for when he returned to Fenton Works. They all got out of the modified RV. Jack and Jazz quickly ran into the house while Maddie trailed behind carrying the red metallic thermos in her hand.
Danny slowly followed them into the house and then heads upstairs to his room with a tear forming in his eye. Then, Maddie yells up to him come on Danny we're having family time. "I don't want to be part of this family anymore" Danny thought as he walked down the stairs. He went down into the lab in the basement to see the site he was afraid he would see. Jack was attaching the thermos to a piece of equipment to take Annabelle into a specialized glass chamber. The glass was made from an ectoranium compound which meant that a ghost trapped inside couldn't get out and no ghosts could get in to rescue.
Jack looked over to Danny he could see the sympathy forming in his eyes. "This just a creature there is no need to feel anything for it." he says as he hands Danny the remote control for the molecular separation chamber. Danny looks at the control knowing what is expected of him. He knew that they wanted him to push the button. He couldn't do it then as Jack saw the hesitation he forced Danny to push the button. Annabelle let out a blood curdling scream that apparently only Danny could hear. No one else seemed to noticed or if they did it didn't affect them like it did him. They didn't care as she was ripped apart and a single tear slides down her cheek.
Danny spent the rest of the night in his room silently crying for the second death of his friend. He knew he would never be able to reveal the effects of his accident to anyone. He transformed and phased through his bed and kept going down until he was in front of the portal. Alone in the lab with that machine, Danny turned and let his anger fill him and then felt a strange sensation in his hand. He raised it up and shot out a blast of energy at it and the machine exploded into several million pieces.
He opened the ghost portal that gave him his powers. He gazed into the swirling green vortex and stood there thinking about the life he could have in this family. He knew the truth now and that meant he would have to kill so many ghosts a second time. He could not even think of doing such a terrible thing anymore. He flew into the portal ready to live as a ghost since that's all he would ever be to anyone he tried to connect with.
