Danny was floating through the Ghost Zone. This green ectoplasmic background was the only thing he knew pretty well now. He was feeling it like his home. Something close to him. But the problem was that he forgot the routes he was flying to, like the one for...what was his name again..Vlad, yes, that was, for his old home, for the...ice kingdom? There was a talking polar bear. He missed the name though. Frost-something was his name. Maybe. Oh, and the route for the Ghost King. Yes, that battle, he still remembered it.
Anyway, he was floating whenever the wind let him. He encountered other ghosts. Some of them knew him, but he had forgotten them. Then, he found himself at Clockwork's place.
"Well well well. What we have here. Danny Phantom. Or should I say Fenton?" Clockwork asked.
"Wait- Clockwork?! Is that you?!" Danny asked surprised.
"Yes, Danny Phantom. You haven't changed since the last time we met. But your hair got a little longer."
"Yeah, they sure did." Danny said.
"Ah, yes. I learned about your imprisonment. It was...1000 years before, right?"
Danny nodded.
"Yes. All this time..even now of course...I fell myself dead." He laughed. "Not that I am not.". It was truth. Ghosts= dead. Plain logic.
"Do you remember anything?"
"No. Everything is gone. Everyone is gone. I..can't remember anything. I am like a new person."
"You see, we ghosts see time differently. For example, I felt like I have to see you for...let's say 100 years." Clockwork said.
"What? Only?"
"Well, I could feel them like 90 too. Or 30. If I also wish it, 0 years." Clockwork smiled.
"But...how..?"
"King of Time, remember? Time has no meaning for me."
"I see...so I-"
"If you were a human, a halfa better, you could feel 20 days without food like some hours. If you extract the water too, that means one week, you could feel it even less. But when your human halfa died after one week, you became a full ghost. So time wasn't comply to you too. That means..."
"That I actually felt like I was imprisoned for 100 years!..not 1000!"
"Yes. Walker didn't realize that."
"Either way, in the real world have passed 1000 years. All the people I know, their kids and the kids after them, they are all dead." Danny said.
"So you don't want to go to the real world anymore?" Clockwork asked.
"What's the point? To me it will be like I am stepping to a new planet. Who knows if Amity Park still exists! There could be a village, a new city, or even a desert! What if there isn't humanity on the planet, or the planet itself is destroyed!" Danny yelled.
"There will be many changes for you, but I can assure you this; humanity still exists. Earth too. Don't you remember? Our world is connected with the humans'. If they die, we will too."
"Oh, yeah, forgot about that."
Clockwork smiled.
"Do you miss your family?"
"Of course I do. I mean….I have to see them for 1000 years...they died..Why shouldn't I miss them? What they say about ''time cures the pain''...doesn't complies to me." Danny said.
"Do you want to see them?" Clockwork asked.
Danny thought that by that he meant ''you have to die to see them again in the other world''.
"I didn't know ghosts go to heaven. I mean..ghosts are already dead….if they get killed again, where do they go?"
"I don't know. Nobody knows. But when I asked you if you want to see your family again, I didn't mean you should die."
"Then what did you mean?"
"I will break a lot of rules, but, you are an old friend. I will send you back in time."
"Wait! You mean.."
"You will travel back in 1000 years to change your fate." Clockwork said.
Yes! Danny is about to change everything that happened! Stay alert for the next chapter!
