Ghost King Danny: Book 1
A Danny Phantom Overlord Fanfiction
Author's Note: Welcome to chapter 5! Oh, One thing. Danny and his friends are 17 in this story. Now I do plan on having Vlad and Dani in this eventually for those of you who are wondering, it's just that I need a scenario to bring them into because I don't just want to drop him in the story with no reason. I also plan on Danny's parents figuring out the secret, but I don't want it to be cliché. So if you guys could give me ideas, that would be really helpful! Thanks and enjoy the chapter!
Danny Fenton has been many things to many people. A son, brother, pseudo-brother, secret (not really) crush, punching bag, even temporary boyfriend. Danny Phantom has also been a lot of things to a staggering amount of people. Hero. Public Enemy Number 1, Whelp, Ghost Child, life ruiner, even a, as Spectra so eloquently put it, 'a walking bundle of misery'. But never in his 17 year old life did he ever believe he would become the king of the very beings he fought to protect his town from.
"What do you mean "Ghost King"!? If I recall, I remember rejecting the power and the title of King Of All Ghosts." Danny exclaimed angrily.
"You do not understand, halfa. This timeline WILL experience Dramascus' arrival if you do not take the ring and crown." An Observant grumbled. Clockwork was seething in rage at the racial slur one of his many 'bosses' called his apprentice. So much in fact, that when he heard the word 'halfa', he transformed his time staff into a black handled, purple bladed scythe, pointed it at what was supposedly the Observant's neck, and said in a threatening, yet still monotone voice: "If you ever talk to my apprentice that way ever again, I will not hesitate to throw you in the thermos, and you and I both know what I'm talking about."
Sam, hating to be kept out of the loop for so long, spoke up. "Wait, wait, and wait. What exactly is going on here? Who is this Dramascus person you guys keep going on about, and why is it so important that Danny becomes the Ghost King?"
The four Observants turned towards the two full humans, prepared to speak, but before they could possibly insult the two humans, Clockwork spoke.
"Ah, yes. You two deserve to know what exactly is going on." A large viewing portal opened up to the two showing Danny's conversation with Clockwork.
Viewing Portal
"Clockwork"?
"Hello, Daniel. You are probably wondering why I am here. You need not worry about Dan, as you have strayed too far from that specific timeline. I have come to let you know that the Ghost Zone is in peril from a new threat: The Observants."
"The Observants"? "What have they done? I thought they were the justice system there"?
"They were, until one of them went rogue, tired of watching the stream and released an evil so powerful it makes Pariah Dark look like a little child. The threats true name can destroy mountains, so let's just call it Dramascus. Know this, he is not a ghost. He is a spirit who preys on fixed points in time and devours them. The other Observants are still devoted to their duties that they have enlisted me, and by association, you, to help end this threat."
"Clockwork, I have a question. What happens if Dramascus comes here"?
"He will devour all of the fixed points until there is nothing left of this timeline. Then he will move on to the next timeline. You must stop him before he devours everything in the timestream." Now, you are not strong enough to battle Dramascus, so tomorrow, come by my tower and we will begin training. Tell your friends and bring them as well. They will help you immensely."
"How?" Danny asked.
"All in due time, my young apprentice. Sleep now".
"Alright Clockwork. I'll see you tomorrow"
Danny then realized he wanted to ask Clockwork a question but before he could ask it, Clockwork disappeared in a swirl of purple.
Viewing End.
Shortly thereafter, the viewing portal closed and Tucker walked up to the Time Master and asked, "According to the viewing portal, we are supposed to have an immensely important role in defeating Dramascus with Danny. What is that role exactly?"
"Not here. I will tell you at the tower. Right now, Daniel must accept the power and the title of the Ghost King. Come, Daniel."
Danny was worried though. He was worried about becoming like Pariah and being corrupted like he was by the crown and ring. "What if I can't handle the power of the ring and crown, Clockwork?"
Clockwork turned to face Danny, staring into his neon green eyes and a ghost of a smile appeared on his face as he proclaimed these next few words. "Danny. I know I only speak in riddles and don't give you direct answers to your questions, but know for certain when I say this: You will be remembered, and you will do wondrous things." Clockwork looked past Danny for a second to look at his friends, then back at Danny. The all-knowing ghost could still see uncertainty across his apprentice's features, so he said, "If you don't believe me, ask your friends what they think."
Danny turned around to face his two best friends, rubbing the back of his neck so long, hairs started coming off onto his hand. His breath shaky and his legs slightly tired from standing, he asked the question.
"So guys. What should I do?"
