Here's chapter 2 of 'A Phantom's Grudge' and I have some ideas for this story like one where main timeline Danny comes to help with the Fentons of this timeline. I was going to just make this a complete AU, but I like this idea. Now obviously with this idea I will most likely go back and forth between the alternate universe where the story is meant to take place and Danny's timeline. The AU takes place in 2005 which is during S2 and before 'The Ultimate Enemy' while Danny's timeline takes place in 2006 during S3 and just after 'Infinite Realms', so you can tell when I've switched timelines then.
Now, if anyone has questions about the story I'll be glad to answer them as long as they don't delve too deep into spoiler territory.
Hope you enjoy!
Also, I have drawn some pictures of Danny Phantom for this Fanfic among others on my Amino account. I haven't really touched my DA account in a while and Amino has a 'nicer' community with rules that ACTUALLY stop people from being complete dicks online. Here's the account if you wish to check it out: - amino apps c / danny - phantom / page / user / luckydrawr / 7WzX_a3tBf8E2470XxNgQWgwpDRzw3Vk5g (Just get rid of all the spaces)
Chapter 2: Ectoplasm
Jasmin Fenton stared at the green words as they dripped down the mirror like green paint, staining the reflective glass. She swallowed, bending down and opening the cabinet underneath the sink and taking out a sponge and a spray bottle. She squirted the spray bottle at the ectoplasm and rubbed the sponge over it to clean it off, wincing as she did so.
'I have to get rid of this before Mum and Dad see it...'
She really didn't know what they'd do if they saw ghost blood on the bathroom mirror.
They could start talking about one of their crazy theories or even claim a ghost is haunting them.
She shook her head at the thought as if it were stupid.
As if that would happen.
But she really didn't need them spouting nonsense right now.
Not after what happened.
All of the ghosts that came from the Ghost Zone had an obsession; Ember with music, Skulker with hunting, Technus with technology and so on.
What ghost would have an obsession unlike the other ghosts?
Her brother's obsession had been to protect...protect Amity Park from the bad ghosts.
He may have been half human, but he was also half ghost, so he also gained an obsession in the process and being half human made him understand the danger of ghost attacks.
The threat they were to the town.
He put his life on the line to save others and had wanted only one thing in return...
Acceptance.
However it just seemed strange.
Once she had finished cleaning up the green goop off of the mirror; a sigh of relief left her lips as she bent down to put the materials away. However a squelching sound caused her to freeze in place and lift her head up, slightly to take another look at the mirror.
Her aqua eyes widened when more words started appearing after she'd just finished cleaning the first one off.
She was frozen in place, hands still clutching the cleaning supplies as she watched the new words be drawn into the mirror with precision. The wet ectoplasm dripped slowly down to the bottom of the mirror, creating a small puddle of green.
It was as if the green blood was fresh.
Once the words were all there ... Jazz stared with wide eyes at the new message, swallowing.
The new message told her loud and clear who was behind this.
Jazz felt a pang in her chest as she read the message, dropping the cleaning supplies and stumbling back.
She couldn't stay in the bathroom.
She ran to the door, unlocked it and hurried out and back to her room.
The message she had tried to escape from that was now written across the mirror in the same ectoplasm as the first was, 'Why didn't you save me?'
Fenton Residence - July 20th - 2005
A loud crash was heard as Danny ran outside his house, a puff of cold air leaving his lips as he saw the ghost that was currently terrorizing the town. It was two floating globs of ectoplasm with a large head, googly eyes and long string-like legs. Danny knew them as the ecto-pusses; the first ghosts he'd ever fought after getting his powers. He hadn't seen them in quite some time as most humanoid ghosts have been inclined to come into Amity and cause havoc while animal types have stayed away.
He frowned, running into the alleyway beside his home and allowed the familiar cold sensation of the glowing rings to hover over his body; transforming him into his ghost alter-ego. He hovered above the ground before turning around with a determined smirk on his face.
The teenager flew after the ghosts. "Hey!" The two ghosts looked at him with wide red eyes. "I didn't think sushi was on the menu tonight!" he exclaimed as he blasted the closest ecto-pus with a green ectoblast from his outstretched hand.
The ghost was shot back by the blast as the other wriggled its' tentacles around, angry that its companion had been shot down. It shot a tentacle out towards the fourteen-year old that Danny just dodged with ease with a smirk on his face.
"Come on! I fight Skulker almost weekly! You two are nothing compared to him!" This seemed to agitate the two ghosts as they both floated on either side of the teenage halfa, trying to surround him as he let out a sigh. "This trick again..."
He flew up as the two flew at each other, colliding heads and looking around dazedly for the boy. This only caused Danny to shake his head in resignation as he took a thermos out from behind his back, pressing a button on the side. "Man, the Box Ghost is more challenging than you two."
A bright blue light came out of the thermos, enveloping the two ghosts. A loud screech escaping their crooked lips as they were sucked into the capsule-like device.
Once that was done; Danny placed the cap on top and let out another sigh.
Now that that was taken care of he could relax.
Fighting ghosts almost daily was exhausting for a teenager that still attended high school.
He needed to make himself some type of schedule...
A loud boom caused him to turn around, seeing his Mother and Father standing in the doorway to his house with a Fenton bazooka each trained on him. "We got you this time, ghost boy!" his Mother practically shouted, aiming her gun straight at him.
Danny blinked at them before giving them a small grin and waving. "Have a nice day!" He then, flew by the house and into the alleyway he'd been in before the fight.
The fight was over, so now he can head upstairs to his room and sleep in his nice, comfy bed.
He was so tired...
He didn't noticed two jumpsuit wearing adults enter the alleyway, their weapons trained on him as they watched the white ring engulf Phantom and leave their son in his place.
The weapons were lowered, but not without Danny hearing the confused voice of Maddie behind him, causing him to whirl around with wide eyes. "Danny?"
He could feel his heart beating a million beats a second in his chest, like it was constricting his breathing.
Or maybe he'd just held his breath.
He let out a breath, staring at his bewildered parents. "Umm ... you didn't see that, right?"
Ghost Zone: Clockworks Tower - August 22nd - 2006
A lone figure stood watching the screen with a grim expression across his features, a slight frown upon his face as his red eyes watched the red haired girl run from the bathroom. After that a figure materialised into view with a huge grin spread across his face, white hair a mess and red eyes aimed at the door before flickering out of existence once more.
A small sigh left the ghost of time's lips as he turned his attention to the same mirror only it held another boy around sixteen with messy black hair, his head was on top of arms as he slept on a desk. There was drool leaking from his slightly agape mouth and the ghost chuckled at this before frowning again.
The mirror's vision flickered once more before it fizzed out and showed the black-haired teen once more only this time it also showed the white-haired one. One was standing above the other, a snarl on his face as he glared daggers at the other teen; holding him by his shirt which was drenched in blood. The words 'you fake' could be seen mouthed from the white-haired boy.
The ghost closed his eyes, fiddling with his staff before opening his eyes and saying, "All is as it should be..."
