Vol 1: The Impact
Chapter 1: The Arrival

The Ghost Zone, a world below ours, but that doesn't mean that it's the bottom. There are many other worlds that are above and below of the so called Earth. This is a story of relationships between families, friends, races and worlds, because everything is connected with everything else. Everything including persons, ghosts, or even demons.

This Story begins with the arrival of 3 enemies from the Ghost Zone, and the unusual visit of a young 19yr ghost to his old master.It has been 3 years since the last time he's seen his old teacher, from whom he learned the nature of the Ghost Zone, and many things have changed since then. He has black hair, yellow eyes and white skin.

¨I was expecting you, Faust¨, said Clockwork turning and seeing his old disciple. He was impressed of how much he had grown, but what impressed him most was the cloth he was wearing - a black and gold cape, a white shirt, black pants and shoes - the Observant's uniform.
¨I see you found a new job, good for you¨
¨Don't be sarcastic, I'm here because Kross and 2 small demons have entered Earth¨
¨I know that already¨ said Clockwork
¨I know that you know, I'm here because you have not done anything yet¨
¨So the Observants sent you to scold me? Well I already know what will happen and my help is unnecessary¨ said Clockwork
¨UNNECESSARY!? Oh, I see you will send your new student, that 14yr old boy, Danny Phantom¨, said Faust angrily
¨So you know¨, replied Clockwork
¨The observants tell me everything, including what he could become¨
¨ Ok, firstly he is only 15 now, secondly I know he will never become that monster, and lastly his destiny is somehow bound to what will happen with these 3 anyway¨ said Clockwork
¨You never believed in destiny, neither do I, but what you are trying to say is that they are already in Amity Park?¨
¨If you already know why are you still here? ¨, asked Clockwork.
¨I forgot how charming you were. Good bye¨ Faust begin to walk to the door.
¨Wait, I have something more to tell you. You know, out of all your family, the one you were always most like was your great-great-great-grandfather, Johann Faust the First. I never met him because you know where he is, but I do know his son, Justus I, and he told me a lot of stories about him and you always seem to follow the same behavior, but I never thought that you could be such a fool to also sell your sold for knowledge¨
At this Faust stopped.
¨I have not sold my soul, the only reason I'm helping the Observants is because it is good for the Ghost Zone, and besides, I'm the most powerful member that the Faust Family has ever had, more powerful than Johann I or Justus II or Johann II, and certainly more than my father. At my age he hadn't even archived half of the things I have done, so don't ever compare me with any of them again¨ said Faust with anger in his eyes. He then began to walk to the door.

¨Your father would be very disappointed right now¨
Faust flinched at hearing that, but he kept walking.

¨Good bye, Johann Faust IV¨Meanwhile, our hero is suffering terribly…

…At his work at the Nasty Burger.

Danny was cleaning the floor, but his mind wasn't, in fact he had been cleaning the same spot for over 20min, and the reason was because of what happened last night. He didn't even sleep last night, thanks to the A-bomb that his parents dropped. He was tired of thinking, and the worst part was that he hadn't even found the correct answer to his problem.

¨Hey, are you alright? ¨ said his work friend
¨Valerie, no I didn't sleep well, that's all¨
¨You're worried about your uncle, aren't you?¨
¨Eh, what uncle? You mean Vlad? Why should I be? ¨
¨Didn't you hear? He's abdicating his position as mayor, it's on the news right now¨ she said as she pointed to the TV where, in that very moment, his archrival was making an announcement. Meanwhile Valerie returned to her duty.On TV:
¨It is a great misfortune to me to announce that, for personal circumstances, I can no longer be the mayor of this fine city.
In other words, I renounce my position and it is effective immediately¨
This is the part of the announcement that our now former mayor, Vlad Masters, made last night. He hadn't explained his reasons, but…He couldn't hear any more, what Vlad was planning, without any doubt, wasn't good. Just another problem to add the list, but without noticing, a big-headed customer distracted him from his thoughts.

¨Excuse me, good person, have you seen the ketchup?¨ It was an 11yr old boy with glasses and a very big head
¨It's over there¨
¨And have you seen any ghosts lately?¨ Danny was a little bit shocked to hear the question, but he responded honestly.
¨No¨
¨Oh come on, I know who you are¨ Danny become pretty nervous by the accusation.
¨You're Daniel Fenton, son of Jack and Maddie Fenton, the ghost hunters¨ Danny felt relief but…
¨Who are you? ¨
¨My name is Dib, and I'm a paranormal investigator, I'm asking around about the ghost phenomenon. Did you know there has been at least 200 apparitions in Amity in just the last 2 years? Not to mention that this city has a very ancient history of strange success since it was created. So tell me, what system does your father prefer using to capture ghosts?¨
¨Investigate? Wait, how old are you? ¨
¨11, but my age is not important and you didn't answer my question¨
Just at that moment Tucker and Sam entered. Danny looked at his watch, his shift was over.
¨I'm sorry but my turn is over, so I think I'm gonna go now¨ said Danny.
¨Ok, ok, just let me give you my number, please call me if you want to talk¨ Dib wrote down his cell on a napkin and gave it to Danny, who tossed it while Dib was going to his table, where a mystery man with a black coat, a black hat and a black eye patch was waiting.
¨He said something? ¨said the mystery man
¨He knows something, that is the important issue¨
¨We have been here for 2 days and we haven't seen him yet¨
¨Don't worry Boss, that boy and his family is the key to finding Phantom. I can bet on that¨

Meanwhile Danny was returning from picking up his stuff, when he saw Tuck waiting at a table.
¨What are you doing? Where is Sam? ¨ Asked Danny.
¨She's ordering food¨ Tuck responded
¨We're eating here? ¨
¨Why not? ¨
¨Ok...¨

Danny sat down at the table, and just at that very moment the door of the Nasty Burger opened and 2 little girls entered, running and giggling. They looked like twins but one was blond with green eyes while the other one had black hair and yellow eyes, something not very common. They sat at the table right in front of Tuck and Danny, everybody noted them. Then a man, who could be their father, entered and went to order, but what happened next was just like time itself had stopped.
A young and beautiful girl, aged 14 or 15, entered and every single boy there become astonished at her beauty. She had very very long silver hair, stunning pale blue eyes and on top of it all, a celestial smile that made the restaurant unworthy of her presence.
The girls admired her cuteness, but the men acted as if their brains were shut down as they watched her walk to the table where her sisters were.
Danny and Tuck had their jaws on the floor, they barely noticed Sam violently put the food on the table.

¨Your meal¨ said Sam angrily

After that they begin to eat and chat, except for Danny, he was just looking at the happy family of the unknown pretty girl.
¨Hey, I know she's hot but at least be less obvious about it¨ said Sam angrily and a little bit jealous.
¨No I was only… it doesn't matter¨ Danny looked down at his food.
Sam watched how the family ate their meal happily, and then understood.
¨Family problems?¨ asked Sam.
Danny didn't answer but 'yes' was written all over his face.
¨Come on, we're your friends, you can tell us¨
Danny thought for a moment
¨My mom is pregnant¨, Danny said it like she were sick instead
¨WOW¨ said both of his friends
¨And how do you feel about it? ¨
¨I don't know...¨Not far from there, 3 villains were planning their attack.

¨It is here, I can feel it¨
¨Are you sure? ¨
¨Don't you trust me, ghost?¨
¨It's not that, it's just that I can't believe that something like that could be in a human city¨
¨The only reason for us to have released you from your exile was because, as a ghost, your attack will not be as notorious as ours. In this city there are many of your kind, the humans will not pay notice to another one¨
¨And the only reason why I joined you was because when The Gate opens, the Ghost Zone will be like before and I will have my vengeance¨
¨What about that good ghost, the phantom guy? ¨
¨If he is like what we hear of... then he will most surely be eliminated¨
