I do not own Danny Phantom as much as I wish I did. This came to me while watching the danny phantom movie marathon and concerns my 2 favorite characters. Danny Phantom (which please forgive me for what happens) and everyones favorite wise man or ghost in this case, Clockwork. I have changed a few things I think but I think it kinda fits, I hope you enjoy it.
-Chapter 1: Bliss….?
3 months have passed since then, 3 happy, carefree, understanding months, things couldn't be better for Danny. 15, the boyfriend of the best girl in his mind, a 15 year old Goth girl named Sam, best friends with the most technologically smart person (not Technus) Tucker, and no pressure about keeping his ghost abilities a secret from his peers who thought him now the coolest kid around, and his parents who are surprisingly understanding and supportive of his ghost powers. As a bonus, Vlad wasn't around anymore, he couldn't be seeing as how he shamed himself and now is in hiding. Danni came around a little more often revealing herself as well and when the Fenton's found out about her not being able to use her powers for very long without almost turning to goo the Fenton's started researching and was only recently able to stabilize her so now she could use her powers till she herself was forced into transformation back to her human state. Stupid rumors have been going around that the people are trying to get the planets name changed from planet earth to planet Phantom, it hasn't passed, but there are more rumors going around that a lot are considering it, or at least trying to convince others. Danny thought it was ridiculous to change it to something like that just because once again the world avoided disaster.
"Ok, guys, lets go back to my place drop off boxy here and hang out the rest of the night, what do you guys say?" Danny asked as he turned to the other two people with him in the warehouse.
"Sounds good to me!"
"Ya, lets go." the other two agreed as Danny transformed back into his human form.
"Man, is it just me, or was he a little harder than what he used to be?" Asked Tucker as they watched the box ghost get transported back into the ghost zone
"Haha, you should've seen him 10 years from now, he was big and I almost didn't recognize him." Danny laughed nervously as they all remembered the incident with Dan phantom and Clockwork.
"Hey, speaking of him, aren't those his medallions on the floor?" Sam pointed to the entrance of the Fenton portal where 3 medallions with CW on them sat on the floor.
"Ya dude, but any ideas what it means?" asked Tucker as he picked them up and handed them to his friends.
"I do. The last time I found one on my bed and when I went to go ask Clockwork about it he said he had to get me to his castle on order of the observers. I guess he wants all of us this time." Danny said as his two friends just stood there.
"How would he know we are all together right now?" one of them asked. Danny just laughed
"He is Clockwork, Master of Time, he knows everything. Now come on and lets go." he said walking towards the portal.
"Go Where? We don't have any idea where his castle is located, how will we find him?" "We wont, there's a reason he keeps the location of his castle secret, he knows we don't know where he is, but I do know that if we go into the ghost zone and wait he will get us. Its complicated just come on." he said disappearing into the portal. After a few moments the other two teens followed close behind.
"Ok, we are in the ghost zone floating slowly away from the entrance to the portal, and no clock tower castle in sight." Sam pointed behind her where the portal was slowly getting smaller.
"Guys please, just have a little patience, after all, there it is." he said pointing to the giant clock tower that was clockworks castle. Taking each of them by the hand he started flying towards the castle. When they arrived the door opened allowing them into the spacious main room.
"Tucker, Samantha, and Daniel. Right on time." came a wise old voice from their left.
"Do not call me that! If you know everything you should know that I do not like being called by my full name!" Sam shouted at the ghost appearing as a young toddler. Smirking slightly he turned to Sam
"I do know everything young Samantha, but you should know by now that I always have and always will call a person by their given name. It is simply my nature just as it is in yours to simmer in dark and black apparel. Speaking of which, I wonder if you would like this. It is an old cloak made from the silk of worms in ancient feudal Japan. Lost to the sea after a sudden hurricane hit the royal fleet, wiping out over half the royal family." he said placing a long dark purple cloak on Sam's shoulders as a giant empty clock serving as a screen showed a ship caught in a violent storm.
"Oh wow, its beautiful, thank you, but your still not off the hook Clockwork. I still don't like being called Samantha." she said as she examined part of the material with awe.
"It looks good on you Sam." Danny said smiling as she turned slightly to face him blushing slightly.
"I really do hate to interrupt you love birds but, wasn't it Clockwork who wanted us for something?" Tucker said interrupting the two as Clockwork simply sat back and watched as the 3 interacted.
"Oh ya. Sorry Clockwork. What's up?" Danny asked as he turned his attention to the ghost now in the form of an old man who no longer looked amused.
"I was simply wondering if you would like to take some time away and spend it here for a few days." he said somewhat cryptically.
"What about our parents dude?" Tucker cut in before Danny could say anything.
"Well first I need an answer, but leave your parents to me. They will agree with proper negotiation." He said smiling again now in the form of a toddler.
"What about Amity Park?" Danny said as he changed the screen from the fleet in a storm to the fight between him and the box ghost that happened a few moments ago.
"Danielle would be more than happy to watch over Amity Park. She needs to practice and get better at controlling her powers, and she figures that the best practice is the one you got, needed combat." he said simply making the screen change once again from the fight to a picture of Danni, Danny's alleged 'cousin'.
"Well I suppose I don't mind stayin here for a bit. What about you dude?" Tucker said turning to Danny.
"Well, I don't see much harm in it. You in Sam?"
"Sure." she said as all turned to look at her for a response.
"You all seem close." Clockwork said cryptically again as he watched the three try to plan what to do while in the ghost zone.
"Of course, they are my best friends. Is something wrong Clockwork?" Danny said turning to the ghost once again looking like a young man.
"Everything is fine for now Daniel, here I have prepared you all…rooms I suppose. More like small dimensions made from empty space, each one suits the needs, desires, and comfort of each of your personalities. If you find something to your disliking let me know." he said as three small doors appeared, each of them different in their own way. One door was blood red with a medium sized purple dot in the middle with the image of a flying bat, obviously for Sam who went over to the door, but when she touched it the bat flew out of the circle and started flying around her. Another was a steel door, the only thing on it was a small P.D.A. asking for a password which Tucker immediately went to and started trying to crack the code. The last door was a simple swirling misty portal that had…a doorknob in the shape of a simple small ball swirling with the portal, as if floating on water.
"A door knob?" Danny asked looking at Clockwork who gave a small laugh.
"I figured you would best like something appealing to your ghost side, while keeping it to your human half. Would you prefer something else?" he asked smiling as he already knew the answer to the question.
"No, its good Clockwork. Very clever." he said as Tucker let out a small whoop as the screen went green and with the sound of air being released his door started to open.
"That was an easy password Clockwork. Tech? Seriously? HA!" he crowed as Clockwork smirked.
"That password will always change, every time you close that door it will change. Once you enter you will see 4 other doors. As you know, this one leads from the room to my castle, another will lead to random places in the ghost zone, that door will always be moving around, but always in the ghost zone, and the third door will lead to your bedroom closet and will close to the size of a golf ball and stay in your closet or wherever you leave it. The last 2 doors will lead you to the others dimensions, so you will always be in contact." he explained as the teens turned to each other excitedly, Sams small bat circling all 3 of them which brought Sam to another question.
"Not that I'm complaining but, what's with the bat?" she asked as it perched on her shoulder.
"You remember Johnny 13 right? That bat acts similar to his shadow. It is a ghost so it can fight, how it fights you will have to figure it out, and if you get close enough to him he might start talking, but if you ask him to do something he will try his hardest to complete the task. Think of it as your version of Shadow." Turning to look at all of them he got their attention before he spoke.
"All of your doors have one more ability to them. If ever you need to get back in but are no where near the portal itself, items have been made to allow you to create a temporary portal that will close after a minute. The P.D.A. can be taken off the door and carried around, it will not break, not from falling, not from water, not even from an attack, to open your portal simply crack the code. The bat that will follow you around will only be visible if you are alone, or if you call it, otherwise he will remain hidden but always within earshot, he is your ticket to opening a portal, simply ask and he will. Yours is that little ball swirling with the mists, it floats in mid air on its own but always carry it with you. When you want to open your portal simply set it in mid air and give it some of your energy. Anything that deals with your ghostly powers will create a portal similar to that, simply open the door when you close it it shrinks back into the little orb and will simply float there so don't forget about it. Only you can use your portal, the P.D.A recognizes its owner in its own way, the bat is yours and will listen to only you unless instructed otherwise, and yours will only respond to your genetic powers." He explained as the others listened excitedly as the old ghost's form changed to a young child then turned around.
"It is late I suppose, good night. I hope the rooms are to your liking but I have a feeling they will be." he said over his shoulder as he was messing with one of the screens.
"Night Clockwork." the 3 said simultaneously as they all turned to their rooms and entered. As the doors closed Clockworks small smile faded as he turned to the screen which showed a scared and confused Danny Phantom staring at Maddy and Jack, disbelief, fear, anger, and confusion evident in the teen as he backed up slowly away from them saying something, but the sound was somehow muted, then flying away as quick as he could.
"Lets pray your friendship is as strong as you claim Daniel, or else your life will take a turn…" he muttered opening a portal and going through it paying no attention to the screen showing a frightened and even more confused Danny as he faced his 2 friends.
"..no…not you to…please…" his voice suddenly heard before the screen went black shrouding the entire room in darkness.
-Ha!…ok that was kinda mean, and it gets a little worse unfortunately…forgive me, but it is good I promise, just stay with me….want some cookies? *Tentatively holds out a plate of Cookies.*
