a/n: hey everybody im redoing the first few chapters i hope you like it
chapter 1: the news
Danny's pov
Well clockwork invited me,and my girlfriend,sister,and best friend otherwise known has (Sam, jazz and tuck) to tell us some news, what he told us was the last thing I couldn't imagined. you see ever since I saved the world a lot has changed. for starters, Vlad is banned from the earth. Secondly I'm dating the girl of my dreams, who was always right beside me... Sam. Then there's the fact that, the world literally knows my secret.
The fourth fact I'm less enthused about, tucker is dating my sister...at first I was enraged, I mean that's my sister. and then I realized he genuinely liked her, and I slowly excepted it after i made him swear to spare me the details. Besides those changes ghost fighting has made me and tuck erm uh well different,muscily back to clockworks news it was the worst news id ever received...
"well Daniel what I have to tell you is something unusual but true, you can never age physically pass 25 and you must live forever" clockwork said as my heart shattered, the words seemed to painfully ring through my ears.
"you cant be serious" i said, after getting over the initial shock, my voice cracked as my half beating heart speed to the speed of light, all i could thing of was sam.
"unfortunately I am" clockwork answered as pain struck my heart once more, tears welled in my eyes, i wouldn't let them fall though.
"what about your powers you gave me a second chance, not to become dark dan...so please don't let this happen, i need to grow past 25, i need to have sam... And my family and tucker. Why save them, why damnit, just for me to watch them die again." I yelled as i let a lone tear fall, at the thought of watching them grow old and die.
" I'm afraid not phantom, your powers came at a price I wish you could go on and live with those you love but it simply cannot be, the time stream is a delicate thing something that cannot be tampered with..."
I heard the words slip through his mouth as he spoke, but it was like i couldn't here them at the same time, i need to find a way. I have too, again my mind was one sam.
"clockwork how would you feel if you had to watch those you love grow old,while you stuck in never land, never really living...just saving" i asked as i looked him in the eye, and for the first time i saw emotion there. He let his guard slip... He felt.
"you don't think I had love , well I assure you Daniel I did... but she had to pass on to heaven, and I must remain here forever, so don't guilt trip me Daniel!" Clockwork said and for the first time i realized what he was... misunderstood. I saw him in perfect clarity he was, just like you and i, though he wasn't aloud to be. So maybe he'd understand...
"please I will never love another I will never have another jazz, or tucker or ...Sam please clockwork" i begged, my whole body shook this was my life before me, held in his palms, i found myself praying to deities i didn't believe in, he had to understand, he had to change this... Change me.
"her name was Elisabeth Watson III..." He began as a beautiful blind woman popped up in one of his time windows. "...she was beautiful, dazzling, unlike anyone was rich,and she hated normal, with a passion. she shifted through the Bermuda triangle, and ended up here. she was wounded, even though it was against the rules, I cared for her until she was healthy enough to go back. she went and she came back again.
we were in love she came here so often she lost the ability to age, but she died when she 87 years old, but didn't look a day over 25,because she had no unfinished business she had to go straight to heaven. and so she went leaving me behind, to watch these time windows, brokenhearted for all eternity. so believe me when I say I know your pain Daniel, but I cannot help."
He did understand, he more than understood he empathized but still, he did nothing. How could he condemn me to this, a world with sam wouldn't be a world at all. He knew, that so how could he do nothing.
"clockwork please" i begged in my knees now, but nevertheless, it was over both the conversation and my life as i knew it.
With the wave of a staff clockwork sent me back to the human world, in the My kitchen as a single tear fell down my face.
Team phantom minus Danny all, sat emotioniously in Danny's room. Sam was the first one to speak.
"so what are we going to do?"
"what do you mean Sam?" Said jazz curious. Sam smiled sadly a determined look in her eye.
"there has to be some way, that we cannot age and live forever like Danny"
"we could see a seer" jazz suggested, a look of uncertainty about her.
this was more of sam's expert, hell the girl even had a book on this sort of thing entitled "numbers and addresses to paranormal and supernatural businesses" the girl swiftly pulled the book out of her purple spider backpack and, flipped through bit before quickly landed on the page she needed.
"there's one on vink 13th street." The goth girl stated, after reading the entry in the book. Closing the book and stuffing it back into her bag, the girl stood up quickly once her bag was slung over her shoulders. Tucker and jazz followed suit standing up as well, but tucker couldn't help the comic relief forming on his tongue.
"damn I can break through all types of fire walls, and all of the above, but when we want to find paranormal activities, Sam's our girl."
"it's a Goth thing, let's go" sam said smirking before, running out of the door, allowing her companions to follow suit.
"kay ill drive" jazz said simply as the pair all began there trek to the car.
"this is the street Sam, where's the address" jazz stated her hands on the driving wheel and her face in the road. Without blinking sam simply answered the question.
"its 1313"
"here it is" jazz added pulling into the parking lot, there was a frown settled on her face as well as sam and tucker's. Tucker was the one to break the silence.
"but this building looks like it hasn't been used in years" tucker said a bit shocked and annoyed.
Sam merely rolled her eyes and retaliated. "the book says she's a very powerful seer, and only those who really have an important request, are able to see to the book there's some kind of code to get her to come here."
The goth girl said as she browsed through the big gothic book.
"what's her name?" Jazz inquired, a look of triumph on her face.
"Madame, Beth why" sam retaliated an eyebrow cocked.
As if on cue, a woman with salt and pepper hair down to her waists, and an all blue gypsy outfit on appeared, and the old build faded into anew.
"that's why" jazz said her triumphant smile even wider.
Sam Manson face palmed before a dower look crossed her face. "I walked right into that one" the girl said mentally kicking herself.
The trio exited the car, and walked up to the old woman before them.
" hi I'm-" sam began before being cut off by the old seer.
"Sam Manson, and your friends are jazz Fenton and tucker Foley, and you three seek a way to live forever,never growing older than 25" beth finished for her leaving tuckers mouth agape.
"damn" the boy said after shaking his head clean.
"are you surprised Mr. Foley you did come to a seer after all" the old woman quipped, a smirk on her face.
"uh with all due respect, don't you already that" the boy said a bit wary of her, but still not enough to stop him from talking.
"of course I do, but unfortunately everything comes at a price. how much are you willing to pay?" The woman asked, her eyes growing hard and tired, there was a warning in those eyes. It was a sure warning and the 3 members of team phantom saw it, but they quickly shook there head of it, they didnt come there for warnings...
"money is no object; I just want to be with Danny" said sam her amethyst eyes holding even more determination and fire in them, she didn't joke when it came to Danny.
Beth simply scoffed, a since of knowingness about her, even before she spoke."I said nothing about money child, I don't want your money. that's the problem with mortals, they look but only see what there is to be seen... no I don't want anything from you, what you seek you can't get from me. let me let you in on a secret. Danny cant age because he isn't a normal human being, so if you wish to share that fate, you must give up your mortal hood."
The woman finished looking down at the teens before her, seeing nothing but determination in there eyes, no fear nor anything else, just determination, they were willing to go to the ends of the earth and beyond to accomplice there goal, and beth knew it.
"that's it that's all stop being mortal, that's the only price" jazz asked raising an eyebrow suspecting foul play, and now a bit wary of the woman.
Beth simply laughed haughtily, she somewhat settled down upon seeing the annoyed looks upon the adolescence's faces, she simply waved her hand in dismissal before speaking once more.
"hardly there are prices within prices, but I already know the outcome of this." The woman said letting the last part slip.
She wished she could spare them of what was to come, oh how she wished she could, but atlas has clockwork always said 'all was as it should be'. Though she wished it wasn't. After silence, tucker finally spoke.
"so you want us to become half ghost ...like Danny" tucker said a bit wary about the idea seeing as what happened last time he had ghost powers, the boy had almost lost everything he held dear, Danny, sam his family, himself, his humanity, jazz. So you could see why the boy wasn't thrilled, at being a ghost again. That was Danny's thing he knew that now.
"far from you 3 have your own identities your own creature you are destined to become. Sam a vampire tucker a cyborg and jazz were a lot alike my dear" beth said finishing her statement as she looked at jazz.
Jazz simply was at a lost for words for a moment, before the girl got her wits about her.
"wait you want me to be a physic, no offense but you look older than 25" jazz said a bit stuttering, but it was a strong yet true statement nonetheless.
Beth simply sighed and shook her head jazz.
"there you go again with what appears to be, I'm not your average seer far from actually. I had a life once, I was mortal like you three. I'm different now, by different I mean dead." The seemingly elderly woman said, confusing the teens even more.
"but I don't understand, you look has human has all of us." Sam said thoroughly confused and spent.
But as soon as sam made that statement, beth decided they needed to be shown and not told. She faded into her angle form, she glowed with beautiful white wings. instead of the seemingly 60 year old before them, just moments before she became a beautiful 25 year old.
"how about now" the angel said to the 3 shocked youth.
"impossible" jazz said stunned.
"your" tucker added equally as stunned.
"Elisabeth" sam finished just as shocked as, her friends.
Jazz was the first one to get her wits about her, and when she did she spoke breaking the silence that had built up.
"but I don't understand, clockwork says you've passed on." Said jazz an eyebrow raised confusion holding her face captive.
Beth seemed to sadden a bit at the mention of her long lost lover, but the woman quickly got her wits about her. She forced a smile and decided to crack a joke.
"what angels can't go on vacation? but back to the matter at hand, jazz you will be a physic and I assure you won't age." Beth finished, making the topic close.
"so were ready for our transformation" tucker said, sticking his arms out and puffing his chest up, in a dramatic position. Beth rolled her eyes and bit back a giggle.
"if I didn't know everything I would think you were joking, it doesn't work like that. each of you must take you own journey ,to get your powers."
She said as she teleported them to a place, that looked an awful lot like the ghost zone, only instead of green it was an icy blue.
"welcome to the netherworld, like the ghost zone is the flip side of earth, this is the flip side of the ghost zone. This is where all paranormal creatures that aren't ghost live. I can only get you this far Sam, here is a map leading you to the coven of the vampires, tucker here's a map leading you to cord haven the realm of the Cyborgs, And jazz here is a map leading you to the palm of the physics." The woman said as she gestured to each person, as her companions surveyed the strange world with there eyes.
"Jazz this is for you" beth said has she handed jazz the necklace from her own neck. The necklace was made of elegant white pearls, and at the bottom was a crystal diamond shaped pendant that momentarily lit up, when beth placed it around jazz's neck.
"this necklace will let them know, I sent you and they will help you transform." She said before turning toward sam and addressing her. "Sam here" beth voiced before pulling a dark purple locket with a picture of fangs on it, out of the fanny pack, she wore, and handing it to sam.
"take this, when you arrive at the coven this will let them know I sent you to become one of them, and to only bite you and not suck your blood." Sam nodded at beth's words as a shiver went up her spine at the thought if being bit.
'Its for Danny' she told herself, as she willed herself calm. Sam Manson had never been coward, and she wasn't about to begin being one.
"Tucker this is for you" beth said turning to the boy before handing him an extension cord to hang around his neck. Tucker looked at beth like she was crazy, his eyes wide like dinner plates.
"is this an extension cord?" He asked after an awkward pause.
"yes and no, it has the form of an extension cord, but it is a symbol to the cyborgs that you are meant to be one of them..." She told tucker before turning, back to where she was facing all three young adults.
"...Now this goes for all three of you, when you get to your desired destination, ask for the leader of your desired species. they will give you your transformation, and transport you to this very spot. a portal back to your world will open, take it. you will arrive back at the seemingly abandoned physic shop, then your mission will be complete...any questions." Beth said knowing there weren't but asked anyway if only for the sake of her own amusement.
"don't you already know that?" Tucker asked confused his head tilted to the side.
"of course I do..." Beth said chuckling. "goodbye children and good luck" she said simply.
A flash of with light appeared and in the blink of an eye she was gone. silently Sam, tucker and jazz looked at each other, and each knew they were on their way, to each of their destinations. for the first time since the accident, their lives were about to change forever, and there was not going back... but the each loved Danny...tucker as a brother, jazz as a sister and Sam as a soul mate, and although they were paying s huge price, it was all worth it was the price for Danny.
