A reviewer told me that Sam can just be marked for love. It's true she has feelings for Danny and I am a big fan of those two, you can check my pen name, but this doesn't have any pairings. Sam is marked for keeping Danny going, that's it. Not love or any of that junk, even though I would love to put it. Review please!!

You see beams coming from everyone, hitting Danny, who was in the middle. A glob of green smoke filled the entire realm that came out of him. It was like a cloud, it was so thick. The smoke thickened and thickened. Danny felt a little weird at first, then realized he was growing weak, very weak. He felt so tired and dizzy at the same time. He soon, found himself changing back as the marks disappeared along with the smoke. Dani was still in her ghost form and everyone looked normal, but Danny was so tired and weak.

"How do you feel Danny?" asked Maddie.

"Like catching some z's," muttered Danny as he fell asleep instantly.

"All the energy taken out of him, must've made him exhausted," said Maddie.

"That must be alot of energy the Ghost Zone fueled out of him," cocked Lancer.

"We should take him inside to let him get some rest," suggested Dani as Alisia took Danny and carried him out of the Ghost Zone.

Alisia set him on his bed, and tucked him in. The others were wondering how long he was gonna stay in bed like this. It was probably gonna be a long time depending.

"I've read about the 'marked one,' but I don't know how long he'll rest," said Lancer, "it never said anything about that."

"Who do you think knows?" asked Sam.

"I do," answered a voice.

"Who's there?" asked Dani as her ghost sense went off.

"Don't be alarmed, I'm a friend of Danny's," said Clockwork as he fazed in as a young man.

"Who are you?" asked Ishiyana.

"I'm Clockwork, master of time," introduced Clockwork.

"I think I've heard of you from my studies," cocked Maddie, "you know what will happen in the past, present, and future of everyone."

"Exactly, I would've help Danny with being the 'marked one,' but I had to watch my poisoner to make sure he didn't escape. Luckily, the refueling takes all of the energy of the one that's marked," said Clockwork, "but that's from another parallel universe."

"O...k," said Valerie, all confused.

"So, the refueling took all of Danny's energy?" asked Jazz.

"Exactly," answered Clockwork, "that's why he needs guardians."

"To take him out?" asked Tucker.

"No, to give him some fuel for him to live," explained Clockwork, "if he didn't have all his guardians, he'll die. The one who created the Ghost Zone, explained that the most powerful ghost would be the 'marked one,' although Danny is just starting. He knew that the 'marked one' would need ten guardians, so he decided to put the ones that cared about him the most to be marked too."

"That's why we were chosen," realized Tucker.

"How long will he sleep?" asked Lancer.

"Till the Sun rises, but he'll still be weak," explained Clockwork.

"When will he be back to normal?" asked Sam.

"The next Sundown," answered Clockwork.

"But who will deal with the ghost?" asked Sam.

"He will on next Sundown, there's a truce on the next day. It's considered a holiday," explained Clockwork, "you will find out tomorrow," he told them as he pressed a button on his staff, "TIME IN!!" and disappeared.
