Author's note. This story takes place after the end of both shows but phantom planet never happened. Other changes include Dani never being made, the GIW not being incompetent, and vlad being slightly less of a fruitloop. It will also contain elements of JLU and young justice as well as the DC animated movies. I'm sorry for the wait but when I was finishing it I got sick for several days and couldn't look at any electronics without burning my brain out. So without further ado I give you chapter 2.

On a chilly tuesday night in the middle of October our favorite have dead boy was currently fly through the sky's of Amity Park, Illinois thinking about his half life.

Danny's POV

'You know being a half dead superhero isn't so bad, sure when I was starting out I didn't get much sleep, my grades were slipping, not to mention the constant ghost fights, but hey I got these sweet powers. I can walk through walls, shoot energy beams, fly, turn invisible, freeze just about anything, or even level a city block with just my voice.'

I raised my hand into a cloud I was flying past before twisting to look at the night sky.

'Not to toot my own horn but as far as super's go I one of the more powerful. All those news clips Tucker showed me comparing superheroes has really helped my ego. Most hero's don't have 2 powers let alone half a dozen and those that do are usually aliens.'

I shook my head to get my thoughts back on track.

'In my freshman and sophomore years I was struggling, I had just gotten my powers at the ripe old age of 14 and ghosts were constantly invading the town. My previously mentioned grades slipped because I never had enough time to do my homework since I was protecting my town from ghosts. I was always late class, once again due to ghosts. I was constantly tired from those thrice damned nocturnal ghosts. You see full ghosts don't need things like sleep, food, or air but a half ghost like me does. Not very fair if you ask me.'

I began lazily looping around a small cloud.

'Despite this I fought on, beating back ghost after ghost and invasion after invasion. Defeating the likes of Nocturn, Undergrowth, Vortex, and even the Ghost King Pariah Dark himself. Though it wasn't all fights and battles. I gained several allies such as Frostbite, Pandora, Clockwork (the ticking bastard), Princess Dora, and Wulf. They are some of the few ghosts I call friends. Thou some of my enemies aren't so bad. Speaking of which.'

My ghost sense went off and I turned intangible just a missile was going to hit me before grabbing it and throwing it behind me.

BOOOM

"That was a new suit Welp!" 'Skulker' I rolled my eyes before turning to face him. I saw that the suit was sparking and some of the armour had been blown off but otherwise it was fine.

"Normally that would have blown you to bits. New upgrades?"

"New upgrades. Much like this one!"

He fired a disk of ecto energy at me which I dodged only to be slammed in the back with it and blasted into a nearby car by a grinning Skulker.

"Really Skulker, the destructo disk. Since when do you watch dragon ball?"

I pulled myself from the car before throwing it at him, I knew he would dodge by turning intangible so I attached a piece of ectoplasmic rope to the car and made it invisible.

Like I predicted he turned intangible. "What's dragon ball?" He turned tangible again and i pulled. He was slammed with the car and into the ground tearing off one of his wings. 'Right, no tv in the GZ.'

I flew up as my eyes turned blue and i began peppering his suit with small ice shards that quickly froze his joints and the exposed wiring of his suit. Before taking out my thermos and sucking him up.

"I'll mount your pelt at the foot of my bed next time ghost child!" he screamed as he was trapped in the thermos. 'No matter how many upgrades he gets this just gets easier and easier. Why is this getting easier?'

I took off again heading home since whenever Skulker shows up all low level ghosts flee and since I'm not hearing any sounds of destruction I can safely assume none of the higher level ghosts are out.

Gasp~ I felt another ghost appear.

"Huh, normally ghosts stay away when Skulker is hunting. Who cou~" "BEWARE AHHHHHHHHH!" The box ghost screamed as I blasted him into the street. 'How did he get out again? It's the third time this week!'

"You may have take me by surprise Halfa, but I, The Box Ghost master of all things cardboard and squaaaAAAHHHHHHHHH!" I sucked him up mid monologue. 'I can't believe that works every time. Vlad, Technus, Box ghost. Everytime them monologue they leave themselves open. Man this is fun.'

I shake my thermos as I fly back home smirking at the muffled shrieks coming from Skulker and Boxy. I phased into my room before turning back into my human form.

"Next time you two numbskulls decide to interrupt my star gazing i'll leave you and every other ghost stuck in here for a week. Am I clear?" Their muffled cries of yes made me smile.

After dumping them into the Ghost zone I finally went to bed only to open my bedroom door and stumble into what looked like a debate hall.

I blinked before eloquently voicing my confusion. "What the hell!?" Like I said eloquent.

"Ah Great One, I'm glad you could join us!" A boisterous voice said before i was crushes in a hug.

"Frostbite!" I hugged him back. "How have you been? I trust Vlad hasn't come after the infi map again. Also do you mind telling me where we are, it's definitely not the Far Frozen." I said as I looked around and soon I saw several of my allies and a few of my enemies as well. Besides Frostbite there was Dora, who was chatting with Pandora, Undergrowth, who was currently glaring at me with Vortex, both were in chains, Nocturn, who was talking to Clockwork, and Fright Knight, who was yelling at Walker for some reason, as well as many ghosts I've never seen before.

"Don't worry Great One, we are currently in the Hall of the Observants! Plasmus did try to steal the map again 3 weeks ago but my warriors and I froze him before throwing him out his own portal. I made sure to destroy his lab."

I blinked, I had never heard of the Hall before, then I grinned when I realised that's why Vlad was MIA 3 weeks ago. 'Makes sense, those 1 eyed headaches have to stay somewhere and Vlad certainly deserved that.'

"Ah, Daniel now that you're here we can begin." Clockwork said.

"Begin what?"

"Daniel, what we have to tell you will be hard to hear and you will feel overwhelmed but do try to stay focused." Clockwork's words did little to ease my confusion but i gave him the benefit of the doubt. 'What's the worst thing they could possibly say.'

"Well punk, there is no easy way to say this but you are the Prince of all ghosts and your gotta marry a demon." Walker said.

'What? Damnit Murphy!'

"What do you mean I'm a Prince and i have to marry a demon!? Demons are real!?" I was hyperventilating as millions of thoughts ran through my head.

'I can't get married in only 16, and too a demon no less! And what's this about me being a prince. Last I checked in not royalty.'

"Daniel."

'I'm still in school and i just started to get my grades up! How can I run the Ghost zone when I'm just a B student!?'

"Great one!"

'What am I gonna tell mom and dad? Hey I'm Danny Phantom, I'm also the Ghost Prince and I'm getting married. To a demon no less!'

A sharp pain exploded at the back of my head and I fell to the floor. I got up and glared at Clockwork. I know he stopped time just to smack me with his staff. I could see it in his smirk.

"Was that really necessary?"

"No, but it was entertaining." 'Damn ticking bastard.'

"Now if you're done having your little panic attack, i can explain why this is happening."

I sent one last glare at Clockwork before nodding for him to continue.

"As you know the Ghost Zone is the flip side of the universe. It's where lost souls end up but it's not the only realm. Pandora was apart of the Greek pantheon and upon her death she should have gone to Elysium, the Greek version of heaven, but as her soul was traveling from the living world to the Greek afterlife a portal opened up and she ended up here. This was no accident however. Zeus, the king of the Greek gods has forsaken her soul after she opened her box. As a result she could never enter Elysium and as such she entered our was not the first time a soul ended up here and not its original afterlife nor will it be the last. What you must understand Daniel is that there are trillions of gods and billions of afterlives across our universe but also the countless dimension that connect to it."

This was a lot to take in. I knew there were aliens but i never gave any thought to alien gods. Not only that but apparently our gods are real. "I guess Wonder Woman was telling the truth about the Greek gods. Man Sam is gonna flip." I felt my mood plummet. "I'm gonna have to marry someone I don't love, someone I never met, someone who isn't Sam. No, I'll find a way out of this."

I felt more pain as Clockwork once again stooped time to knock me out of my thoughts. "Stupid stopwatch with that stupid smirk." My glare returned but i was paying attention again.

Clockwork continued as if he wasn't giving me brain damage. "One of these dimensions was home to a terrible demon known as Trigon. This monsters crimes were worse than any being ever to enter existence and some so gruesome that even speaking them is enough to scare your mind. Millennia ago he attempted to conquer all creation but was denied when the most powerful beings in existence banded together to deny him entrance to reality. Eventually he found our realm and learned that it could be used to circumvent the barriers that trap him in his realm and once again last siege to creation. When he invaded myself and the rest of the Ancients lead Pariahs armies against Trigon and his hordes and for eons we fought until eventually a truce was signed. Since both armies were immortal neither side could gain any advantage. One of the clauses of this truce was an agreement that should both tyrants have heirs of opposite genders they would be wed but neither had any intention of giving up the throne. Pariah made it so that his heir would need to defeat him in single combat which you did when he invaded. Trigon made it so that he would need to be slain by one of his children for someone to claim his throne. Both were too arrogant to see their defeats and as such they have fallen."

I felt relieved that such a vile monster was gone before I realised I had to marry the one who killed him.

This time Pandora took over. "With both Trigon and Pariah being defeated the criteria for that particular clause has been met. I know it's not ideal and that it's definitely not something you want, considering your infatuation with young Samantha, but while we won't restart the war Trigons generals will. That's why you and young Rachael must be wed and you both must claim the thrones. Both our ranks have grown over the millennia and the next war will spill into the universe and very likely destroy it."

I felt faint, it's one thing to be in an arranged marriage, but to marry the demonic daughter of what is basically super satan. And to top it all off if I don't it could lead to a war that could destroy the universe.

I swallowed before asking, "Is this really necessary? I mean the Ghost Zone has been without king for ages, do I really need to claim the throne, to marry some stranger?" I turned to Clockwork with pleading eyes, silently begging him to tell me there was another way, like when he helped me stop dark Dan. His next words sent a stabbing pain to my core.

"I'm sorry Daniel, but this is the only way. The only timelines were the war doesn't restart are the ones were she claims the throne and when she does the clause activates and you will need to claim your throne. If you don't then not even she can stop her generals from invading. And should that happen, the Earth will not survive." His words sent another pang of pain to my core. Clockwork never gives out direct predictions, it's always cryptic messages and lessons but never something so absolute.

"I don't know the first thing about ruling, I'm a B student! How can you expect me rule and avoid war?"

One of the floating Eyeballs spoke next. "Since Clockwork is your guardian, he will be educating you on the essentials as will many of the other ghosts here. Walker and myself will teach you the True Laws of the realm, while Pandora and Frostbite will teach you how to lead a true army. Princess Dora and Nocturn will teach you how to rule and Clockwork will teach you our history. You will learn everything you need to by the time your coronation and wedding come upon your 18 birthday. We have less two years to prepare you for your future duties. If there was another way we would take it but there isn't not without either returning the crown to Pariah, who will marry young Rachel to claim her throne, or restoring Trigon, which is not an options. I'm truly sorry young Phantom."

I sighed, feeling mentally drained and emotionally defeated. My core ached and my heart felt torn, far worse than when Sam broke Ember's spell. I gave the crowd of ghosts a rueful smile. "So, what's first?"

Authors note. Im so, so, so sorry for the delay. This was meant to be out much earlier but a combination of sickness and a strong dislike for how the original delayed this chapter. Anyway I wanted to get this out and i promise you, before the end of the week part two will be out and that focuses on ravens reaction to the news. After that will be the phantom crew and and the titans reaction and finally the True plot can begin. The first few chapters will be short but future chapters will be much longer. I don't plan on this going over 50k but you never know. Sorry again for the wait and see you next time.
