Ghost King Danny: Book 1
A Danny Phantom Overlord Fanfiction
Author's Note: Welcome to chapter 4! Seriously guys? Only one person reviewed the last chapter! Anyway, I am done with college, at least until January 11, 2016, which is when the new semester starts! So without further delay, I present to you, Chapter 4!
Danny sprinted to the lunchroom with the speed of 100 teenagers (which is quite slow for a boy who could fly faster than most airplanes and higher than the stratosphere of the Earth), with his friends following close behind. The trio kept at this pace until they reached a large oak tree. This tree was located far from the sight of prying eyes, which made it perfect spot for talking about their "extra-curricular activities", aka ghost hunting. It was also the one place Sam was happiest, and when shown the place by Danny, who was shown the spot by Tucker, who hid behind it running from Sam after calling Sam and Danny 'lovebirds' loud enough for her to hear and begin chasing after him with her spiked combat boots, took to it like a fish to water and the trio have been eating their lunches there since.
The trio of friends sat down on the soft grass and began eating their lunches. After a little while, Sam spoke and said "So, Danny, what ghosts did you fight last night?" Danny looked up from his (ectoplasm free) tuna salad sandwich and turned to face the Goth girl of his dreams-not that she would know that- and rattled a list of names off after sighing from tiredness from the night before. "Ember, Skulker, Box Ghost, Technus, Box Ghost, two ectopi, Box Ghost, Skulker, Box Ghost, two more ectopi, and Clockwork. At the mention of the last ghost, Sam and Tucker's mouths were both open in shock, as they both knew all too well that the omnipotent ghost almost never left his tower unless it was detrimental to the time stream (case in point Dan). So if he came to Danny directly, then the situation must be serious. Sam was the first to regain composure, as she asked, "Why did Clockwork come to see you Danny? Dan is still in the thermos, isn't he?" Danny replied "Yes, Dan is still in the thermos. Clockwork assured me of that." "Well what did he want? Certainly not just to say hello?" Tucker asked incredulously.
Danny paused, but didn't know why. Just as he was about to tell his friends what Clockwork told him, a voice that sounded like a thunderclap shouted, "TIME OUT!" Danny then felt the weight of a golden-chained medallion with the engraving CW on it hit his chest with a soft 'whump'. "Clockwork? Why did you pause time?" Danny asked. He couldn't see the all-knowing specter, but suddenly a swirling purple portal opened up and out came two more medallions, which Danny assumed were for his friends. He placed them on his friends and looked at them for a second while they got used to the fact that time just stopped and they were still able to move.
"Daniel. It seems I may have to bring you and your friends in early. Come my young apprentice." Danny rushed through the portal, his friends following close behind, unsure of what exactly was happening, but ready and willing to follow Danny to the ends of the Earth and the Ghost Zone, wherever he may go.
Danny and his friends exited the swirling portal. Where they expected to see ticking clocks and whirring gears, they saw a dark, dreary castle that has clearly seen better millennia. Danny also took in the four one-eyed ghosts in robes, known as the 'one-eyed jerks' to Danny, his friends, and, occasionally Clockwork, but to everyone else, they are simply known as the Observants.
The trio stood, silently staring at the disheveled castle, which brought back memories, memories that they sometimes wished they forgot, but would never truly say these thoughts out loud, firstly to prevent another 'Desiree incident' and secondly as a reminder of Danny's improvement over the years. Suddenly they were broken out of their thoughts by the Observant to the far right's begrudging degree:
"Come, Daniel Phantom, and claim your title as King Of All Ghosts!"
Author's Note: Hello everyone! I know I said I'd have this up by yesterday, but I had my bio exam. I'm just happy I'm done with college! See you next chapter!
