TO THE STORY

DANNY'S POINT OF VIEW

Danny sighed as he floated through the ghost zone. It had been a year, but he was having nightmares of Dan again. He sighed, thinking over the past year. A year ago, to the day, he sealed away Dan Phantom, the evilest ghost there ever was, so far anyway. He had revealed himself to the world 6 and a half months later. He had been swarmed by the paparazzi, and had eventually asked Clockwork to let him grab the reality gauntlet from the past to erase everyone's memories. Clockwork allowed him to take it, but took it nd returned it to it's own time when Danny was done. Danny sighed, remembering how how relieved he had been. The world still knew Danny Phantom saved the world, but the Fentons still declared him evil, again. He sighed, as he remembered when he had been in the ghost zone, looking for Pandora. He had needed advice, when he hadn't paid attention where he had been going. He flew through a portal, not realizing it until it was too late.

He yelped, rushing back to the portal, to no avail. He watched, speeding toward it, as the portal shut itself. He screamed out in frustration, before looking around. He turned, and sighed, 'Great, I don't know where, or when, I am. I am lost, and I'm in the middle of a frozen wasteland. I flew off, trying to fly up, when I was knocked to the ground. I screamed, feeling something imbeded in my side. I looked at my stomach, and there was a knife covered in odd writing that looked . . . demonic, in my side. I screamed. I eventually stopped screaming, rational thought returning. I gripped the hilt, prepared to pull it out, when a shadow fell over me. I saw . . . an angel? 'Ok, what drug have I been injected with?' Danny thought to himself as he saw the angel conversing with a small figure. They began to walk away, as Danny cried out. "Please! Help!" He yelled. I couldn't pull the knife out, like it was cemented to my side.

He saw them turn around, heading toward him, when someone tripped over him. He groaned, feeling someone trip over the blade, driving just a bit deeper. He saw the two get closer, seeing him and the girl. The pair approached, as he sighed in relief. He saw the angel with a spiked mask, and a glove missing, while the other was a . . . kid his age? What was going on? The angel approached, helping him up as the boy helped up the person who tripped over him. He gasped, seeing the blade, and rushed to his side as the angel seemed to grumble in annoyance. "This dagger was forged in hell, and can only be removed by a creature of the very same. Tell me, child, when did this strike you?" The angel said.

Danny responded with, "I was flying, when I was knocked to the ground. I felt something digging into my side, and this was there. It just came out of nowhere." The angel nodded, turning to the young boy. "See, little reaper? Did I not warn you of the dangers these skies presented. Only a creature of hellish descent may remove that dagger, of which I am not. Little reaper, it seems you must remove it. The boy looked shocked, before he shakily nodded. He looked nervous, reaching for the dagger, and pulling it out with ease. The angel quickly grabbed it, driving it into the ground, and kicking snow over it. He sighed, before turning to the one who tripped over Danny. He looked on in horror as he saw a girl, but that she had no hands, instead, she had bandaged stumps. Dannny yelped, surprised at this obvious problem with her anatomy. 'Who would do that to a child?' he thought as she looked at him sadly.

He was about to comment on the whole situation when a shadow fell over him. "There you are. I've been looking everywhere for you." someone said. The boy went pale, before saying, "Hey guy! What are you waiting for? Chop his hands off or . . . his legs off . . . or something." The boy said. The angel glared at him, before responding, "Child . . . as I have told you before, you should see not just with your mismatched eyes. Furthermore, you should not judge people by their appearance. This individual here is not a monster." This confused danny, before rolling over, wincing as he felt the snow in the gash in his side. He was speechless as he saw a giant spider standing over him. "We better get to shelter, looks like a blizzard is coming. By the way, I'm Jeff." The spider said. Danny was put onto Jeff's back after an explanation of his injury, as Jeff placed the girl, Mimi, on his back next to Danny. She looked at Danny, this time with curiousity, as the angel and the boy trailed along behind the trio.

They all walked, or were carried, to a cave. Jeff led them inside, placing Mimi and Danny by the fire. he got out a first aid kit, tending to Danny's injury, to the best of his ability. He spouted some things off to the others, but Mimi continued to stare at Danny. Danny was feeling a bit unnerved at her staring, but was acclimating to it, and joined the conversation. The angel was speaking, "And after that, you will simply let her go?" The boy stuttered. "I . . . uh . . . I . . ." Suddenly, arms enclosed around his waist from the shadows, as a blonde girl was angel immediately shouted, at the top of his lungs, "WHAT TRICKERY IS THIS!?" followed by a shout of betrayal as Danny, the angel, and the boy were shot with webbing from Jeff. "I'm sorry. I'm very very sorry." the spider pleaded, before turning towards a shadow. "There! I've done everything you asked." He said as a large red man dressed in . . . furry red jackets that looked like santa rip-offs?

He saw the handless girl be reached towards by Jeff's scarf, as it twisted into a writhing mass of tentacles. It enveloped her, before forming similiar garb to the red figure, along with giving her a tail, claws for hands, and black horns. Her skin had become red as well, as metal spikes made themselves known on her tail. He noticed how the man and the girl now looked alike, even the hands like metal crab claws. The man seemed to exude an aura of dread as the other two captives were sqwaking about betrayal, the 'why's, the 'because's, and the 'what for's. The man, Him, seemed a ruler of something. 'What kind of name is Him?' Danny thought. He looked back at Mimi, and realized she looked more his age when not cut up. It seemed that the boy and Danny agreed on something though, based upon both staring speechlessly at Mimi.

Danny came back to reality as he saw a television screen lower. The man, Him, was speaking. "You and your sister are truly quite a pair. Behold what you both have created! Magnificent! A beast of such immense power . . ." he trailed off as a massive creature appeared on the screen. It held a massive scythe, and was cobered in eyes, and looked talled than the entire town it was destroying. Him continued, "Not even Death can stop it. Nor will any of the underworld's greatest warriors stand a chance against it." Danny suddenly started to glow, his eyes flashing dangerously red for a few seconds. The whole group went silent, watching what was going on. Danny's eyes glowed again, a red ectobeam shooting from his eyes, destroying the image of the last warrior on the screen.

He growled, phasing through the webbing. "Where. Is. He." Danny said, dangerously. Him laughed, seeing the power in the boy before him. The engel, seeing the gleam in Him's eye, realized Him would try to get the power of this boy. He began to say something, but was hit in the head by Mimi with an iron, silencing him.

TIME OUT

Clockwork's time circle pops in, leaving a big sign that read

' P.S. Him IS THE VILLAIN, WHILE him IS A WORD DESCRIBING ANYONE ELSE MALE, NOT THE Him, JUST TO CLEAR THAT UP IN CASE OF ANY CONFUSION '

IT went through a portal, before clockwork's voice could be heard.

TIME IN

Him began to speak, smiling. "My dear boy, the warriors are all in Halloweentown fighting a creature of immense power. The warriors, the personifications of Death (GRIM), Evil (MANDY), and Pain (GENERAL PAIN), along with a young demon and a ghost are fighting a massive demonic entity infused with the energy of death itself." Danny ground his teeth, not questioning WHY they were fighting it, fully focused on Dan. "That. Ghost. Should. Be. In. The. Hands. Of. The. Master. Of. Time! HOW DID HE ESCAPE! HE SHOULD NOT EVEN EXIST, YET HE EXISTS OUTSIDE OF TIME!" Danny said slowly, before yelling the last part, angrily. Him smirked, before saying, "To my knowledge, when something or someone exists outside of time, time's master can just will them from existence. Like they never existed." This seemed to further piss of Danny, who thought to hmself, 'CLOCKWORK! I am going to have to have a chat with him, and there WILL be some answers!'

Him cleared his throat, before saying, "Perhaps I can be of assistance? Perhaps provide you a way to get rid of this ghost?" While this was said, Him began to scheme in his head. 'Oh, this will be magnificent. A boy with supernatural powers serving me alongside Mimi, and possibly the scion to the lordship of the underworld. This will be quite fun.' Danny seemed to consider this, before realizing that maybe this wasn't a good idea. However, it was not meant to be. The thought of refusing died when he thought of future Amity Park, the graves, and all that had happened. Mimi, using her telepathic powers, enhanced by her powers saw a glimpse of this. Him, being Him, had found a way to read and influence Mimi's mind. He saw whatshe did, but looked a bit deeper. He saw what happened, the memories, and how angry he had been. He smirked, a plan forming. 'If I can find this 'Amity Park' and replicate that situation, this boy may crack, and embrace darkness. Yes, that's it!' Him thought.

In his plotting, he nearly missed Danny's nod of acceptance, nearly. He smiled, before gesturing to join him at his side, next to Mimi. Danny merely nodded, too far gone down the path of rage to relent and think through what he was doing. The angel began to yell about the foulness of the residents of this place, as the young boy was lifted from his bindings. Mimi went and shot the angel with paint balls, silencing him long enough to get a gag on him. Him did the whole spiel on a speech, but released the boy, to his sister. the two eventually ended up kissing, as the angel's muffled insults and remarks were heard. The two siblings argued, as Him took the sister. Him began to monologue, a thing Danny would have to suggest an end to, when the angel appeared, his sword out. He threw Danny and Mimi across the room with a kick, and sliced of Him's hand. He grabbed the sister, as Him started to get angry.

The angel teleported, or whatever, away, leaving Him livid. He ranted at no one, before turning to the boy. All he saw was a clock face spinning, as it disappeared. Danny saw it too, yelling at the top of his lungs. "CLOCKWORK!" Him calmed down, looking at his new apprentice, seemingly, well, pissed at the fading clock. "I assume you know who that was?" Him said, knowing the answer. "Yes, that, Him, was Clockwork. The master of time, and of annoying riddles, unofficially. It was HIS job to keep that ghost from escaping." Danny said. "By the way, I'm Danny. Danny Phantom!"
