Almost forgot my disclaimer: Danny Phantom and all related characters are the product of Butch Hartman and Nickelodeon studios. Django, though loosely inspired by a character of the same name from the game Ergheiz, is the product Silent Elegy.

A/N: So I have a conundrum. Basically, the third season screwed up my personal canon (which is part of why I stopped writing for so long, though certainly not the bulk of the reason), but I don't want to throw it out completely because it had some great moments. So, I've decided that while I will allude to episodes having happened, I'm going to handwave the bits that contradict things I've written.

For instance, Reality Trip had Danny causing his parents to forget that he's Danny Phantom and return things to normal. In my canon, Maddie already knew and, much like Jazz did, was waiting for him to tell her himself. So she went back to quietly knowing instead of completely forgetting.


Somewhere in the Ghost Zone, there are portals into the human world. One was closed firmly against all intrusion by a heavy door made of ectoplasmically reinforced steel. One was closed, though less firmly, by a steel door and surrounded by broken, orange and white police barricades. One was only recently opened; its security consisted of some attentive guards on the human side. They were very attentive guards, though, and when the odd, monochrome spook appeared in their midst screaming "Hide me!" they were quick to subdue him.

His cries told them that someone was chasing him; the question was, would that someone come through their gate as well? Several minutes passed while they stood at the ready, then, just as they were about to relax again, the gate pulsed and a tall, white ghost in a black fedora came through. He wasn't alone, but his allies either vanished or escaped when he was subdued. They waited, but that was the last of the day's excitement.

The next day, a message tied to a glowing rock flew through the portal. "Release Walker," it read, "or suffer the consequences. You have 24 hours." The message made the rounds of the compound, and everyone had a good laugh.

The day after that, the war began. No ghosts invaded, but their energy blasts did, firing blindly through the portal. The guards fired back, aiming where shots had come through in the hopes of catching the attackers. Reinforcements came and went as people were injured. Hours went by. Eventually, the attacks tapered to a halt. The agents congratulated themselves on a job well done.


Somewhere in the Ghost Zone is a prison. Normally, it's filled with guards and prisoners, but only one was left. He stalked the slowly fading walls and considered his options. The last of the guards had vanished during the attack, and without Walker to maintain the prison, it wouldn't last much longer. Bullet knew he wouldn't stand a chance against Guys in White, considering the speed with which they had taken down the warden.

But perhaps, he could force someone to do his work for him.
