AN: Just a little idea that popped up out of nowhere. Please enjoy.

Danny and the Ghost Zone

Danny could still remember the day he became half ghost clearly, the experience burned permanently into his memory with painful clarity. The day had started normal enough, he was complaining about his parents' latest failure with their prize project: the Fenton Ghost Portal. Sam and Tucker had heard about the portal before, but they were eager to see it in its completed form, even if it didn't work. So reluctantly, he led them home after school.

His parents weren't home, still depressed about the portal's failure and Jazz was at the library or something. With free reign of the lab, Sam was eager to take pictures and eventually encouraged Danny to explore the portal's interior. Spurred by Sam's words and his own curiosity, Danny put on the suit and entered inside. Because it was dark and he was notoriously clumsy, Danny ran his hand along the wall of the portal. He felt nothing but smooth metal until his hand sunk into the wall. Danny had a chance to see a green button with the label "ON" before his life changed forever.

Danny saw a bright flash of green before he was enveloped by pain. His nerves were on fire while his insides melted. His mouth was open and he may have been screaming, but he couldn't hear anything over the electricity crackling across his skin. After an eternity or possibly only a few moments, Danny felt a change as coolness enveloped him. Though the electricity was still as strong as ever, the pain began to fade slightly from his body. A part of Danny feared he was dying, but mostly he felt relief at the escape. The coolness began to pour into as well as a strange feeling of calm and assurance. As Danny began to fade into blackness, he swore he almost felt a powerful presence whisper to him as he fell into the arms of his friends.

Danny didn't realize it at the time, but he had been connected from the Ghost Zone from that moment on. As Danny struggled to accept and control his powers, he would often go to the lab and stare into the swirling depths in the Ghost Zone. He didn't understand it, but he felt calm whenever he was near the portal. When he actually went into the Ghost Zone, the strange calmness and the terrifying landscape and inhabitants caused Danny to feel panicked and incredibly relieved when he finally returned to Earth.

And yet, despite his terrible experience there, something kept drawing him back to the Ghost Zone. He tried to rationalize it as curiosity or a ghostly instinct, but Danny knew deep down it was something more. He could feel something guiding him whenever he explored its depths and something defiantly was helping him when he faced the Pariah Dark. And later on, he could not deny he felt a strange happiness greet him whenever he was in the Ghost Zone. Even when he was trapped in the future by his Evil Self, Danny felt something protecting him and assuring him everything would be alright.

Then there was the time he gave up his powers. Amidst all the pain, Danny felt a strange sadness and understanding that slowly drew away from him. When the process was complete, Danny felt an emptiness that went deeper than the absence of his powers. When he first attempted to unite the ghosts and he got attacked, Danny's powers returned to him. Though the process did hurt, Danny felt more relief and happiness than anything else. And when he finally did unite the ghosts, Danny knew he didn't do it by himself. Something he didn't understand was helping him just like it had his whole time since he had become a ghost. Danny never really questioned it and he never thought he would know what it was. That is, until Clockwork called him to the tower one day.

"What is it Clockwork?" Danny asked as he landed behind the time master. "It's isn't time for any of my usual training with you… do I have a mission or some moral lesson I need to learn?"

"Nothing like that," Clockwork replied, turning to Danny as his form shifted. "There's just someone that has wanted to meet you for a long time. Come."

Clockwork floated out of his tower and deeper into the Ghost Zone with Danny following close behind.

"So who wants to meet me?" Danny asked as he watched the colors around him become deeper as they traveled. "Do I know who it is? Have I heard of them?"

"You know who she is," Clockwork replied vaguely. "She's the one that gave your powers and she has been watching over you ever since you've became a Halfa. She's the one that had me help and guide you when the observant wanted to eliminate you."

"Really?" Danny said in surprise as they came to a stop. He looked around but didn't see anyone bedside them. "Where is she?"

"She's all around you."

"What do you...?"

"Danny…" The voice was powerful and resonated from all around them, but it carried motherly and caring feel. "It's wonderful to finally be able to speak to you."

"Who are you?" Danny said in wondered, still looking around.

"I am the Ghost Zone," The voice replied and Danny could see the air around him pulse in time with it. "And I am so proud of you… my little Halfa."

AN: I hoped you enjoyed this little sequel chapter. Really tough, this is it. I have absolutely no plans to further this idea. If someone else wants to run with it feel free.
