On Berk Hiccup was getting ready for his own camping trip along side Toothless to work on survival skills with a dragon. He actually had to give credit to Danny and Dani for this idea and if everything went well for a week he would make each teen and dragon go away for an entire week just to survive. Then of course he would make sure that each teen could survive on their own without their dragon as well for extra practice. "Well bud, everything is packed that we would need for survival training, and everyone knows where we'll be so… lets go." With that Hiccup got on an excited Toothless and the two took off for a place that no Outcasts could get to or anyone else for that matter unless they had a dragon.

In Clockwork's layer the time ghost watched as Hiccup left the island before turning his attention back to another mirror showing Danny, Dani, and Atlas training. The time ghost had to stifle a chuckle upon seeing one of his charges fall face first onto the ground after failing to fly yet again. "Clockwork do you think it was wise to send our best agent to not only train the two halfa's but to also give them a new life?" Turning around the ancient ghost looked at an Observant or one of his bosses really, that had decided to come and check on him. "Was it wise… certainly not, but the real question is was it necessary… and yes it was necessary if Daniel was to continue being a living being."
The time ghost looked back at the mirror just in time to see said halfa suddenly flash freeze himself in a block of ice while trying to use his ice powers. Dani ended up laughing at this and the ghost known as Atlas shook his head before floating down to defrost the halfa. "If not for Daniel your best agent would have become depressed… possibly crazy and twisted due to his powers. Daniel would of become depressed though and stayed in the deepest part of the Ghost Zone where he would eventually die and his ghost side would of just wasted away. As for Danielle she would have just become a puddle of ecto-goo on the floor that Masters would of had to clean up."
The ghost stopped talking and watched his two charges interact with the powerful ghost a bit training themselves outside the regular flow of time. The Observant also said nothing in favor of watching the training that was truly intense before speaking again. "As long as those two stay on the path of good we Observants won't say anything about our agent interacting with them. But we expect you to still keep an eye on them… when he gets back though send him after the evil future ghost of Danielle Phantom." With that the floating eyeball that called itself one of Clockworks' bosses dramatically turned invisible and floated away not damaging anything in the tower.
The time ghost let out another sigh before looking back at the time window and smiling upon seeing his two charges having some fun. "All is as it should be at the moment… all is as it should be… now to figure out what to do with little old you Dan." Clockwork turned slightly to a beat up thermos that held Dan Phantom with a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eyes. If anyone or anything saw this look they would quickly get out of there but alas Dan couldn't and was stuck in a thermos as punishment for trying to ensure his future.
|-Scene Shift-|
Atlas let out a yawn of boredom due to the two halfa's growing quickly accustomed to this section of the Ghost Zone. Already their power had increased dramatically due to just being here and they weren't backing down yet. Looking at Mink though he had a small smile on his face seeing the dragon look around curiously but not going to leave his shoulder any time soon. "So… Mink take it that life on Berk is treating you well and that you find the two halfa's really interesting and nice." In response to speaking in Norse Atlas had the dragon look at him for a bit before letting out a small chirp of happiness before doing her best to frown.
The ghost stayed quiet for a bit before realizing what was going on within the dragons head and speaking again. "If you're wondering why you haven't grown tired or hungry yet this place is responsible, but you can still sleep if you want." With that said he turned his attention back to the two halfa's as the Terrible Terror looked at him for a bit more before looking back at them as well. Danny and Dani were now sparring and actually having a good time as brother and sister or equals as it would be in terms of power.
Unknown to the two of them though Atlas was in the middle of something else and looking into his duplicates mind he frowned before speaking. "Dani, Danny! I have to head to the real world for a bit to deal with Vlad… I'll open up a portal for the two of you to look threw. Don't worry about falling threw it is just for observation… actually it would just be like a normal TV of sorts… I'll be back soon." Both halfa's looked up as Atlas teleported out of the area leaving behind Mink who quickly fell a bit before straightening out and flying over close to them to watch.
Atlas instantly appeared in Master's office glaring at the older halfa who was holding a book from Ghost Writers library. He didn't look up and continued to read as the full ghost glared at him a bit thinking about just lighting the book on fire but instead opted to just lighting the desk. Vlad looked up upon smelling smoke and instantly changed before creating a dome that suffocated the fire and glaring at Atlas. "Ah so the ever mysterious ghost has returned from wherever it is that he goes off to while not working. What do I owe the pleasure of for the visit of said ghost at this time… also why did you light my desk on fire it has done nothing to anger you."
Atlas let out a growl upon hearing Vlad's smart alack tone causing the halfa to flinch a bit before before calming down and changing back. "I came here due to the fact that you tried to have a duplicate break into my home just a few short minutes ago." Vlad frowned not really surprised that Atlas had found out about the attempted break in, but he still had to wonder how he got here so fast. "Well if you would just give me the location of Daniel then I would be happy to stop it and make no further attempt to break into your home."
This got Atlas even more mad and his normal ice fire blue eye's turned red while his hair became a flame. "I would never tell you where he is Vladimir Masters… you're nothing more than a cat that doesn't know when to quit getting it's nose into other peoples business." Vlad raised an eyebrow curious as to how the ghost came to that analogy, but it went down and he smiled thinking he could easily beat the ghost. "Everyone has a price… maybe there is something I have that interests you… or possibly you don't even know where he is in the first place."
Atlas took a few deep breaths and calmed down a bit before having a smirk on his face much to Masters confusion before speaking. "There is nothing you have that I can't get a hold of, as for the location, nice try trying to make tell out of anger. All I will tell you is that he's in a… special part of the Ghost Zone that only those who know where it is can get into. Now you will leave him alone if you know what's good for you Plasmius due to the fact alone that I can tell the world your secret and there's nothing you can do about that."
Vlad's eyes turned red in response and he quickly changed before delivering a highly powerfully charged ecto-punch at the ghost.
His anger quickly turned into surprise as the ghost only went back a few feet before stopping and glaring at him not a mark on his body. Than he saw the ghost's hands as they lit up with red ecto-energy and with a voice void of emotion they spoke. "Your strongest moves are nothing compared to my powers Plasmius… now back down or you will live to regret it." Vlad thought about this for a moment but before he could fire a shot Atlas had crossed the distance to him faster than a blink of the eye and punched him as hard as he could.
The halfa was sent clear out the window and threw several buildings all before he could turn intangible and right away he could tell he had a few broken ribs. Landing in the ground he changed back to normal and threw blurry vision he looked up at Atlas who had appeared in front of him again. "This is my last warning Masters stay away from my family or suffer the consequences of meddling with powers almost as old as Pariah Dark himself." With that Atlas faded away as people came out to investigate what had caused a loud noise at three in the morning.
|-Scene Shift-|
In the Ghost Zone Danny, Dani, and Mink all watched what had gone down between Atlas and Vlad in worry and shock. Shock due to the vast amount of power Atlas had by punching Vlad so hard and fast making him go threw several buildings without intangibility, and though they wouldn't admit it worry for Vlad. "I am so glad that Atlas is on our side… that punch could rival Dan's and I don't think he was even trying." Danny spoke in a low whisper as Atlas slowly faded into view much calmer before speaking to them in Norse.
"I told Vlad that he shouldn't interfere in my business really and he didn't listen… he'll live there's no doubt about that and I'll admit I was holding back." He took a few calm breaths before looking at the two halfa's that looked at him frightened now before floating away and resuming his original aerial position. "I have to agree with you on that… also who the heck is Dan and why in the name of Pariah do you sound scared of him?" Danny looked at Dani for a moment with a face that told her she didn't want to know who he was. Meanwhile Atlas lazily floated around in circles in the green sky just thinking about Vlad's sad attempt to get Danny.
The idea of just ripping out the parasite that was Plasmius from Vlad was tempting but he shook his head not surprised. Looking threw his other duplicates though he saw that one was in court room and getting interested he entered it's mind. "The whole place is just a crater in the ground practically, so what purpose does the GiW have to buy it and the bank to deny someone willing to buy said crater?" The duplicated slammed his fist onto the table glaring at the GiW agents and the Bank owners in anger. At the moment and thanks to his shape shifting powers Atlas had black hair, and dull green eyes. Though his clothing consisted of a business suit he still gave a casual feeling to anyone who looked at him while also giving off a sense of business.
A GiW agent who was in the room rose up holding a piece of paper and after a quick coughed they spoke. "Our agency has detected levels of ecto-radiation on the property and we wish to set up a base of operations on there." The agent spoke in a deep voice and Atlas let out a sigh and after a moment smiled and looking up at the people spoke again. "The lease on the house has been paid in full by the original owners as such the property falls to their next of kin despite any government claims or the fact that it's a crater in the ground." Right away he had to smile as everyone in the room looked at each other nodding in agreement before speaking again.
"I will voluntarily submit a sample of my blood for DNA testing, and as such this will show that I am the long lost brother of Maddie Fenton. It took some time but I managed to find out about the relationship and was on my way to Amity Park when it happened. Therefore the bank and the GiW have no rights to take away the property from me and I demand that they also return all things related to my sister right away." Atlas quickly backed out of the duplicates mind not wanting to hear the protests and accusations that were going to head his way.
Though he was related to the Danny it was more of a half brother sort of way and looking down he could see the two halfa's actually improving in a slow but steady rate. Though he knew that Danny and Dani were confused on how they weren't growing tired they were still enjoying the training. "That's enough you two, were heading back to my home for the time being… and Dani make sure that Mink doesn't cause any problems while you stay there." The two halfa's stopped right away and looked at Atlas for a bit allowing the small dragon to quickly fly on over and sit on Dani's shoulder who proceeded to pet her.
Danny shrugged and soon the three white haired ghosts were flying threw the Ghost Zone until they came upon a black door. On it was the familiar 'EP' symbol that was on Atlas' arm ecto-green in color making both halfa's raise an eyebrow in confusion as to why that was. Upon entering both saw the familiar living room and upon changing back they instantly passed out on the couch making Atlas chuckle and spoke in Norse to the dragon. "Come on Mink I have some fish for you in the kitchen… those two will be out for the reset of the night." The Terrible Terror that was on Dani's shoulder still hopped off and flew over to Atlas and landed on his head as the ghost walked over to his kitchen.
Being a full ghost he didn't need to sleep so he stayed up watching as the two halfa's slept before letting out a sigh and going into another room. Inside this one he had a signal sphere that he used for communication with the outside world in case he needed to be held up in here for a while. Placing his hand on it Atlas put a bit of his own energy into it concentrating on contacting Frostbite before seeing the yeti ghost and speaking. "Hey Frostbite!"
Said ghost whipped around instantly upon hearing someone yell at him before freezing in place upon seeing who it was. "Who are you and how do you know of me?" Atlas smirked before allowing his eyes to glow ice blue telling the yeti ghost all he needed to know before speaking. "I was the one that sent Dani to you for training… anyways know that the Great One is in the zone again along with his younger sister. Just ask the Infini-map to take you to a section Z letter ten and you should get to my front door and before you say anything I've known about your people holding the map for a long time."
The yeti ghost was confused for a moment nodding but eager to see Danny again and before Atlas turned off the transmission he spoke again thinking of someone else. "Oh before you come here can you also pick up Princess Dora from her kingdom… just tell her that the person who sent Dani to her want's to see her in person. That should instantly make her stop whatever she's doing and come with you… I'll have her brother contained and waiting for her sense he has escaped." With that Atlas ended the call and walking out of the room he looked briefly to the sleeping halfa's and miniature dragon before shaking his head and speaking in Norse. "Better let them all sleep… though I doubt that Aragon will let them for any longer… good thing Clockwork sent me Dan's old thermos." With that the white haired ghost left grabbing a dented old thermos before heading out his door to confront the ghostly dragon who had a sword with him.
It was a one sided battle that ended up with Aragon being captured in the old beat up thermos before he went back inside. Looking around he could hear nothing but the quiet breathing of the two halfa's as they slept before walking into his own study. That was where Atlas put the thermos down and sitting at a desk he began to fill out some forums that were required to do this. With a slight smile he began to remember Dan or should he actually say his old self before Clockwork gave him a new opportunity back a long time ago as it would be. This caused him to frown wondering if the time ghost knew that he knew him before the while time travel thing.
Another moment of thought and he ended up hitting his head on the desk groaning before speaking slightly under his voice so only he could hear himself. "Clockwork created a paradox where I was created by Phantom and Plasmius and I help to create Phantom… why didn't I realize this before hand?" He was really, really hoping that he wouldn't have to explain his past to Danny as it would be, heaven forbid the Observant's.
Making a mental note to deal with Clockwork later on this question before going back to the papers and after a moment something came over him. His blue eyes turned red and his white hair turned into white flames as he instantly burned all the pieces of paper he had on the desk with ecto-fire. A loud band echoed throughout the layer waking the three sleeping occupants from their slumber suddenly as Atlas let out a sigh and calmed down. One last look at the papers and he walked out of his study as Danny, Dani, and Mink looked at him startled before he took a deep breath and spoke in Norse to them.
"Sorry about that… I have some anger issues… that's why I tend to stay away from everyone really and why the entrance to my layer is rather lonely in relative terms of location." The two halfa's raised an eyebrow in confusion upon hearing this and shrugging went back to sleep along with Mink who just squawked in response. As they went back to sleep Atlas gave them one last glance before heading to his own private garden to relax.
crai22: That's right people Atlas is actually a much older version of Dan! Major Plot twist!
Miola: Seriously though... you all didn't figure out who he was talking about in the first chapter of the story? After all Dan could be considered a ghost with two obsessions due to the fact alone that he is the combination of both Danny's and Vlad's ghost half's.
crai22: It was kind of obvious when you think about it anyways I own nothing in this story except the plot and characters I added in. So please read and review people while I got sort out a small misunderstanding between Dan and Danny while beating some sense into them both.
