Soldiers Heart

Chapter One: A new mission

~(^.^)~

Clockworks Lair {Dani's P.O.V.}

It has been almost thirteen years since Vlad created me and Danny managed to stabilize me. A lot has changed since then. Clockwork had taken me in as his apprentice, even going so far as to give me a room in his lair, and had started training me on how to better control my powers, and he also trained me on how to fight without my powers. I've also grown up a lot, and made one small change to my costume, I'd added a silvery white cape with an emerald gem clasp that has the DP symbol etched into it.

Clockwork on occasion sent me on missions to fix timelines when one is messed with. It was hard work, but it was fun. I got to see so many cultures and civilizations that have been dead for a long time. Clockwork also had me read up on the ghost zone, ghosts, and everything to do with them, and he had me learn all the things I would have learned if I'd gone to a human school. He'd also taught me several languages including; the language of the ghost zone, Esperanto, Spanish, German, Russian, Latin, Celtic, Norse, and Mandarin. Honestly Clockwork had become like a father to me over the years.

Speaking of fathers, A couple years after Vlad made me, Danny finally told his parents about his ghost powers, and then explained me to them. Danny's parents had immediately started treating me like their daughter, which I technically was, and I spent a lot of my free time with them and the rest of my human family. Jazz and Danny had become the best older siblings anyone could ever ask for, with Danny teaching me everything he knows about astronomy, and Jazz teaching me everything she knows about psychology. Sam and I had become best-friends quickly, and on her suggestion, I'd become a vegetarian. Tucker had taught me a lot about technology over the years, and though I wasn't at his level I was still pretty good with technology.

Right now, though, I was currently just relaxing in Clockworks library reading a book. The library is my favorite place in Clockwork's lair, it was warm, filled with books, and had plush comfy bean bag like chairs for me to sit in, I also loved to read whatever I could get my hands on.

"Dani, come with me, I have a new mission for you," Clockwork stated, floating into the room.

I set my book down and followed him out into the hallway. The library was down the hall from what I called 'Clockwork's Time room'. It was the room he spent the most time in, the room where all the time windows were.

"I've been watching the time line of another universe for some time now, and I'm not liking what I see. A great evil is forming and the people who are meant to protect that world will not be able to handle this evil on their own," Clockwork started to explain.

Another universe? I've never been to another universe before. My missions so far have been fixing this universes timelines, so I couldn't help but feel excited about this new mission. I followed Clockwork into the time room and stopped as I noticed my family standing in the room all looking melancholy.

"Um, not that I'm not happy to see you all… but why are you here?" I asked, moving over to give them all hugs.

"They are here because I asked them to come. I've already explained your mission to them. They are here to say goodbye to you," Clockwork stated.

I turned sharply towards him, my eyes wide. What does he mean by that?

"Why do they need to say goodbye?" I questioned.

"Because if you choose to take on this mission you will not be able to return. Once in this new universe you cannot return," Clockwork explained.

I stared at him in shock, a pit forming in my stomach. Moments ago, I had been excited about this new mission. But now all I felt was fear and sadness. I'd have to leave behind my friends and family, my home, and everything I knew. I'd never be able to see any of them ever again.

"Dani, listen to me, this mission is important. Without you this universe will not survive. Clockwork has assured me that you will be very happy in this universe, otherwise none of us would even think about letting you go," Danny exclaimed, pulling me into a hug.

Tears rolled down my face, and I buried my head into my brother's chest. I felt someone hug me from behind and realized that my whole family had pulled Danny and I into a group hug.

"We love you so much sweetie, and all we want is for you to be happy," Maddie stated.

"We realize how important this mission is, and even though we're all gonna miss you we think you should do it," Jazz added.

"But I'll never see any of you again," I cried, holding on tighter to Danny.

"It's not gonna be easy Dani, but you'll always have us with you. Plus, you'll meet new people who you'll care about a lot," Dany murmured into my ear.

Slowly my family released me from the group hug and I wiped away the tears rolling down my face.

"We made this for you, so that you'll always have a piece of us with you," Sam stated, holding out a small black box.

I took the box from her and opened it up, revealing an oval shaped silver locket with the DP symbol etched into it and a small slightly glowing green gem expertly glued onto it above the symbol. I opened the locket and smiled. On the left was a black and white picture of Jack, Maddie, Jazz, Danny, and I together standing in front of the Fenton House, though you couldn't see the ops center. On the right was a black and grey picture of Danny, Sam, Tucker, and I standing together in the park. I quickly put the locket on and hugged Sam.

"Thank you," I murmured, more tears falling down my face.

"I made the gem with my ectoplasm and ghost ice and had it put on the locket. A little piece of me to take with you," Danny said, pointing at the gem on the necklace.

I took my time saying goodbye to everyone. Soon enough I watched them leave and it felt like my heart shattered into pieces. I know this mission is important and I have to go, but it doesn't stop the hurt. Once my family had left I turned towards Clockwork.

"So, what's my mission?" I asked, wiping away my tears and squaring my shoulders.

"There are several things you have to do before you can stop the evil that is coming for this universe. The first place you will be dropped off at in this universe is Georgia in 1941. Once there it's up to you what to do, just do whatever you would natural and you will get to where you need to be. Once you've accomplished your task there you will be transported to your next destination and given your instructions by this."

Clockwork pulled out a dark brown leather steampunk looking arm band that had a clock centered on it.

"This is a dimension watch. It will transport you to the other universe. I've programed it so that it will first take you to Georgia in 1941. After you've accomplished your goal there this device will pull you out of that time period and drop you off at your next destination. Before it drops you off a prerecorded message will inform you about your next destination," Clockwork explained, strapping the device around my left arm.

"Now while you are in 1941 the device will lock your powers. You won't be able to go ghost or use any of your ghost powers. Which is why I'm sending Cujo with you. I have designed a special collar that will allow him to look like a normal dog. I know you are capable of protecting yourself without your powers, Cujo is just there for extra protection and to be your companion," Clockwork continued.

The second he stopped talking a large Rottweiler Pitbull mix came bounding into the room and knocked me off my feet. The dog, who I'm assuming is Cujo, started to lick my face. I giggled and gently pushed him off of me.

"Down boy," I exclaimed, patting him on the head.

I stood up and glanced over at Clockwork, feeling Slightly nervous that I wouldn't be able to use my powers, though having Cujo with me definitely made me feel a little bit better about this whole mission. Suddenly a medium sized brown leather duffle bag was shoved into my arms.

"This has all the clothes you'll need while in 1941. You should change into a set of clothes before I send you off," Clockwork said.

I nodded my head and moved out of the room and to my room to change. I changed into a pair of dark navy-blue Sailor pants, and white blouse, and a leather jacket, then headed back to the time room. I glanced around the room for what will surely be my last time and took a deep breath.

"I'm ready," I exclaimed. Clockwork glided over to me, and pulled me into a hug.

"I will miss you Dani," He murmured.

I wrapped my arms around him, feeling tears forming once again in my eyes. After a few moments Clockwork let go of me and grabbed my arm with the dimension watch on it. He pressed a button below the clock on it. The device lit up and suddenly everything around me started to fade away and for a second I felt a sharp pain radiate from my arm and through my body, and then everything went black…
