Ch 4: Truths Reveled
Jazz's P.O.V
It's been at least two days since the ghost kings invasion. Things were still hot in Amity but were calming down. No one has seen a trace of Danny since then, most think he died in a stalemate with the ghost king, I pray that isn't the case. It wasn't that hard for the people to figure out that Danny Fenton was acutely Danny Phantom ones they saw him change and the power he showed. Vlad has also gone missing but no one was really looking, Most thought he died as well. I moved out of my parents house after they told me that they disowned Danny for what he was, so I moved in with Sam and her parents. There hasn't been a ghost siting in the past couple of days, not even the box ghost, which was really strange.
I was currently in Sam's movie theater with her, Tucker, and Valerie. We didn't watch anything but kept each other company.
"Where could he be?" Sam asked for the hundredth time.
"We don't know Sam, no one know, so stop asking the same damn question!" Valerie shouted at but quickly caught herself, she side with a guilty look. "Sorry, I know your worry, I am too believe me."
Sam waved her off. "No problem."
"Maybe we could look for him in the Ghost Zone?" Tucker offered.
"We don't have a portal, Jack and Maddie won't let us use there's and Vlad's mansion was destroyed do to his portal malfunctioning." I said with a bit of Venom in the names. Ever since the fight with Jack and Maddie, I refused to call them my parents because of how easily they hated there own son, even if he was adopted.
"Well we got to do something, I can't just wondering if my best friend is dead or alive." Tucker said in frustration I could relate to. "I just wish we know if was ok or not."
"I maybe able to answer your question." A voice said from behind us. We look back and see a ghost we've never seen before. He had a purple cloak and was welding a staff with a clock at the end of it.
Valerie brought out a ecto-plaster and pointed it at the ghost. "Alright ghost, you got five seconds to tell us why you are you hear."
The ghost's expiration did not change when he answered us. "Daniel is alive." Was all he said but it got Valerie to put down her weapon.
"He's alive, is he ok, what happened to him, where is he." Sam demanded but you could clearly see she was happy.
The ghost put up a hand to stop her. "All will be explained in do time. First introductions, I am Clockwork master of time." The now named Clockwork said. We all gave him a skeptical look, but didn't say anything when he continue. "Daniel is in my lair healing at the moment."
We where all relived beyond belief when he said that. "Can we see him?" I said eagerly with everyone nodding. He gave me a sad look that unsettle me.
"I'm sorry but I can't let you see him." He said.
"What!? Why not!?" Both Sam and Valerie demanded, both pointing blasters at him again.
Clockwork had a thoughtful look before answering. "Daniel is going through some changes right now that may put normal people in danger."
"What, like puberty?" Tucker asked which he received a slap upside the head for.
"What is happening to him." I asked, worrying for him.
"It has something to do with his father." Clockwork answered me.
Sam let out a frustrated yell. "Great, what did that fat idiot do?" She said with annoyance, I didn't hold it against her for the name call, hell if she didn't say it I would have.
"Not that idiot," Clockwork said in a annoyed tone. "Daniel's real father." He said with a note of pride.
We where all shocked at what he said, me because I wondered how did he know Danny was adopted.
"W-what do you mean Danny's real father?" Tucker asked, not sure if he believed the ghost.
The ghost then shifted into a toddler out of know where making us take a step back out of the surprise. He then look to me. "I believe you are the best to explain this." He said, the just turned back to normal.
Deciding to ignore the ghost sudden changes everyone looked to me expecting an answer, with a sigh I did. "About 15 years ago Danny was adopted in a orphanage outside Amity Park." I said which shocked them but I continued. "Jack and Maddie wanted a son, but were to busy in there 'research' to go through pregnancy again, so they adopted."
There was silence for a while until someone spoke up. "Dose Danny know?" Sam asked.
I shook my head. "No, Jack and Maddie were planning on never telling him. Said it wouldn't change anything."
Tucker took a breath in before reliving it. He then turned to the ghost. "Ok, Danny was adopted and he is changing, what dose the have to do with anything?"
"Danny is not like other humans, the power he is giving off will have negative effects on you if you where to see him now." The ghost explained before turning into a old ghost.
"Ok, when can we see him again?" Valerie asked a bit impatiently.
The ghost side. "Six months." Then shifted back to normal
We where all dead silent. Then we erupted. "What!" We all shouted.
"Six months, why the hell will he be gone for six months!?" Sam shouted at the ghost.
Clockworks face did not change at Sam's rage. "It will take time for the training Daniel will receive. If not done properly he will kill someone or not have the power to save someone."
"But what about the ghost that keep coming, without Danny this town is dead." Valerie said desperately trying to get her friend back.
Clockwork shook his head. "I sabotaged the Fenton's ghost portal so no ghost will come." Clockwork said, he then looked at us with sad eye. "I am sorry, I know this is hard, but Daniel needs to be prepared for the future. If not things will be cataclysmic."
"Couldn't you send Danny back in time to this moment so we wouldn't have to wait?" Tucker asked, thinking he had the answer.
Clockwork side again, but this time it was more annoyed. "I would if a group of ghost called the observers wouldn't try to correct the time stream. Which would result at an attempted at Daniel's life." he said making everyone wince.
I side at the situation. I was happy my brother was alive but I won't be able to see him for six months. It hurt but I need to be strong, like Danny was fighting the ghost king. I then look at Clockwork. "Tell Danny that we love him and to come see us as soon as he can to come see us."
Clockwork nodded before he opened a portal. "One more thing, exactly six months from now, you need to be ready for anything." Clockwork said cryptically before leaving.
"Are you sure about this Jazz?" Sam asked.
"Yes, we can be strong like Danny. We'll wait for him." I said in determination.
No One's P.O.V
At Clockwork's tower, Daniel Fenton was resting in one of Clockwork's many rooms. He was not alone in the room, Danielle was also there. She had not moved from his side since he got there. Both where asleep, Daniel on the bed and Danielle on a chair next to the bed.
Slowly, Danny opened his eyes... and was met with a blinding headache. Groaning, Danny sat up and looked around the unfamiliar room. His eyes land on Danielle, her head sleeping on the bed. Danny couldn't help but smile at the little girl. He reached out a hand and rubbed her head. The result was her waking up.
When Danielle's eyes landed on Danny, she had tears running down her face and jumped right at him, giving him a hug. "Dad-Danny, your ok!" The slip up was caught by Danny as he returned the hug.
Just then, the door to the room and in wal-err floated the ghost of time, Clockwork. "Glad to see your finally awake Daniel." He said in a gentile tone.
Danny looked at the ghost and rubbed his head. "Awake with a major headache. But still alive," Danny gave the ghost a warm smile. "Thanks to you. I would be dead if it wasn't for that sword you gave me. So thank you..." He trailed of, not knowing the ghosts name.
"I am Clockwork, the master of time." He said with a normal face, not really being arrogant but stating a fact. The two halfas stared in awe at the ghost clime and could feel his power to back it up. "And that sword is yours Daniel. It was meant to be yours for a long time know."
Danny raised an eyebrow at the ghost. "My sword, why would it belong to me?"
Clockwork looked right into Danny's eyes, Danny felt a bit nervous staring into the time ghost eyes. They held age and knowledge beyond normal beings. "There is a lot we have to discus Daniel. About your past and possible future."
Danny nodded to the ghost but glanced at Danielle. There was one thing he needed to take care of before anything else. He looked back to the time ghost. "Um Clockwork, can you give Danielle and me about ten minute. There's some things we need to talk about." He said making Danielle, who was still holding him, a bit nervous.
Clockwork nodded before floating out of the room, leaving the two alone. Danielle let go of Dani and sat back in her chair. She felt a bit nervous when Danny looked at her, but was reasserted when she saw him smile at her. "So, how you feeling?" He asked.
"Ok, just glad your ok." Danielle said with a small smile, but then look down her hair covering her eyes. "I thought I lost you, back at the battle. I never felt so scared in my life." She said in a sad tone.
Danny's heart ached when she said that. He grabbed her chin and made her look at him. "Look, you'll never lose me. Not now, not ever." He said getting a smile out of her. Danny put his hand down and gave Danielle a serious look. "Dani, when I was out on the battle field I herd you call me... daddy."
Danielle was shocked and started stammering. "I-I-I-well y-you see that w-was-" She put her head down and tears started running down her face. "I-I'm sorry." Danielle said, sobbing.
"Danielle."
"I was caught in the moment."
"Danielle." Danny said a little more sternly.
"please don't h-"
"Danielle!" Danny yelled, cutting her off as he throw has arms around her. "I don't hate you, I love you."
Danielle was not believing what she was hearing. "W-what?"
Danny pulled away, put his hands on her shoulders and looked her right in the eye. "From the moment I met you, I never saw you as some failed cloning experiment. I saw you for what you where." Danny then gave her a smile. "My daughter."
Danielle wondered if she was hearing him right. "D-Danny?"
Danny took a breath. "When you left, everyday I was worrying about you. If you where ok, if you were eating, if you were brushing her teeth." He laughed at his last comment. "I might be 16, but that doesn't stop me from caring about you. Your my daughter no matter what."
Danielle couldn't hold it in anymore. She throw herself at Danny and started cry hard. "D-d-daddy!" She sobbed as she cried into Danny's chest.
Danny just put his arms around her and stroked her hair. "There there, daddy's got you." Danny said in a soft tone.
In Clockwork's time observer room, Clockwork was watching the scenes of Daniel and Danielle. He smiled as he looked at the two, he know how this would end, but it was still nice to see. Unfortunately, Clockwork was brought back to reality when three very angry observers floated in. Clockwork side in annoyance and turn to them.
"Clockwork! What have you done!" One observer shouted, his one big eye glairing at the time ghost.
"What needed to be done." Clockwork said in a normal tone.
"You directly interfered with the time line, this could have dire consequences!" The second one shouted, also glairing.
"If I had done nothing the ghost king would be running ramped in the human world and the ghost zone." Clockwork said, starting to get annoyed by the floating eyeballs.
"The boy is to dangerous to be left alone. It would be wise to eliminate him while he is weak." The third observer said, making the other two nod.
This pissed Clockwork off. "Do you have any idea who that 'boy's' parents are!" Clockwork shouted in rage making the observers take a 'step' back. "Dante and Lady sacrificed there lives to save both the human world and the ghost zone, the same as there son!" Clockwork's eyes now glowed a deep red making the observers shake a bit in fear. "If your worried about Daniel coming after your group don't bother, your in the clearer." He scoffed.
The observers were still shaking a bit but manage to give Clockwork one last glare. "We will remember this Clockwork!" They said before they left fast.
Clockwork let out an annoyed sigh and pinched the bridge of his nose. "I'm getting to old for there crap."
Daniel's P.O.V
Me and Danielle hugged for about 10 minuets. She stopped crying and just held me tightly. I look to one of the many, many clock and saw how long we were hear for. "Danielle, we need to talk to Clockwork." I said.
She nodded into my chest and pulled away. Her eyes were puffy and there where dry tears on her face, but she looked the happiest I've ever seen her. We both left the room and made our way down the hall way and see Clockwork standing in the center of the room. The room was round and had many screen floating around, showing different images.
"Glad to see everything worked out." Clockwork said, looking at a swirling screen.
Deciding to cut right to the case, I looked to Clockwork. "Ok, what did you want to discus?"
Clockwork motioned me and Danielle over to a screen he was looking at. When we stood by him the screen showed two people. One was a man with white hair and was warring a red trench coat, he was fighting some monsters with the same sword I used and duel pistols. The second was a women with short black hair and was warring a white blouse with a short skirt, she had one eye that was red and the other blue, what was really strange was that she was swinging around a giant missile launcher with a bayonet attach to it.
"These two are Dante and Lady, two of the worlds best Demon hunters." Clockwork explained.
I raised a skeptical eye brow at him. "Demon hunters, really?"
Clockwork chuckled at my response. "You are in another dimension completely populated by ghost." He throw back.
"Touché." I said. "Ok, so there demon hunters, why is that important?"
Clockwork look back at the screen and gave a sad smile. "There last mission was there final one. They went to defeat Mundus, demon lord of the underworld, before he and his army opened the doors to the underworld and take over the world. They managed to close the doors but at the cost of there lives."
I didn't know what to say, but for some reason I felt sad. Almost like crying.
Clockwork continued. "Before they left they did two things. One, Dante and Lady had a son and had to put him up for adoption because they knew that they would not come back. Two, Dante asked me to give his son his weapons when his power was unlocked." Clockwork turned to me with a grin. "And that is exactly what I did."
I looked at Clockwork in confusion... when it clicked. My eyes widen at what he said. "C-Clockwork! Are you saying..."
Clockwork nodded to me. "Daniel, you are the son of Dante and Lady."
I look at the time ghost in disbelief. "Bu-but I look nothing like them."
"Oh really," He said and then pointed to the side. I look and was met with my reflection... only different. My hair was white like my usual ghost form, only without the glow, one of my eyes was blue like in my human form, but the other was red. I step back in shock at the new look, I knew I wasn't in ghost form.
"What happened to me?" I asked.
"Before you left your father put a magic seal on you. Locking your powers and change your appearance to ensure your safety." Clockwork explained. "The power you showed agented the ghost king was not a ghost power, but a power you inherited from your father." He look strait into my eyes. "Daniel, you are half demon, the same as your father."
My jaw hit the ground hard, the same as Danielle. "D-d-demon!" We both shouted.
Clockwork nodded. "Yes, even though your father was half demon and your mother was full human, his blood was strong so you still ended up half demon." Clockwork explained. "And not just any demon blood, but Sparta's blood, a demon who concurred the underworld to protect humanity."
"Dose this mean I'm also half demon?" Danielle asked not scared but shocked.
"Only part, you are mostly ghost and human." Clockwork told her.
This was a lot to take in. I was adopted, my real parents where demon hunters and I was actually half demon because of my father. I look to Clockwork and saw every word he said was true. "Why dose my life have to be so complicated?" I side but then straighten myself. "Ok now what?"
"When you gained your ghost powers the seal broke just enough to keep you alive, but the ecto-energy prevented it from fully breaking." The ghost said explained. "When Vlad cut off the ecto-energy the seal weakened, allowing you break the seal to access your demon powers." Clockwork waved his staff and an image of the battle appeared.
"H-holy-is that me!?" I nearly shouted seeing the demonic version of me. "I...look awesome!"
Clockwork had an amused smile on his face. "This is known as 'Devil Trigger' where you release your true devil self. Since the seal was preventing your power from expelling, it caused a build up in power and allowed you to achieve this state." He then gave a small frown. "But because of the build up you are releasing demonic energy without even knowing it."
I look at my hands and see a white aura around them. "Is it dangerous?" I ask in worry, glancing at Danielle.
"To a normal person yes, but others no, so Danielle is safe." Clockwork said making me sigh in relief. "In order for you to control this power you must train."
"How long will that take?"
"Two months." He said surprising me at how short it was. "But I would like to make you an offer..."
"What kind of offer."
Clockwork looked at a screen seeing various of demons. "Daniel, in the past year demons have started returning, luckily in very small numbers but they are still coming." He then looked to me with very intense eyes. "I want you to become a demon hunter like your parents were."
I was shocked about the sudden request, but when I looked at the screen I felt something motivating me, more then becoming a astronaut. I know this was something I had to do. I look at Clockwork with a look of determination. "Ok, where to we start?"
Clockwork gave me a grin, then he waved his staff and three screens appeared in front of us, showing three 'people', the only one I recognized was Pandora. "These will be your teacher," He pointed to Pandora. "Pandora will teach you sword play and be adaptable with other weapon." He then pointed to the old man with a black suit with a cane. "This is Kent Nelson, he was the original Dr. Fate, he will teach you magic, magic beings and artifacts." I was shocked that this big shot was teaching me. Finally Clockwork pointed to the last person. "And this is Jonah Hex, a bounty hunter from the old west and a master gunslinger, he will teach you how to use fire arms and be cunning with them." The image showed a man in gray clothes with nearly half his face melted off.
I stared at the three in awe, but something caught up with me. "How long will all this take."
Clockwork side. "Six months." He said completely shocking me, I was about to protest but he cut me off. "You have nothing to fear about Amity, I sabotage the ghost portals to the town will be safe before you return. Your friends and sister know you are alive and will need training to control your powers. They send there regards."
I side, every point he made was valid. Then I realized something. "You know I was going to say yes didn't." I glared at the time ghost how just grin chicly.
"I know everything." He said in a smug tone.
I rolled my eyes at his joke, but remembered something. "Wait, whose going to teach me how to use my ghost powers."
"Ah, you see there may be a problem with that... you don't have most of your ghost powers." he said completely shocking me. "When you activated your Devil Trigger you burned out most of your ecto-energy. The only powers you have left are your ghost sense, overshadowing, a weak invisibility, and your unique ghost power."
The last part caught may attention. "Unique ghost power?"
"All will be explained in due time." He said, giving me a small grin. "Now it be best to start your training now. First is Pandora." Clockwork waved his staff and a blue portal appeared.
"One second Clockwork, I need to talk to Danielle." I turned to Danielle and went down to her eye level. "Do you want to come with me, or do you want to go back to Amity, you choose."
She just hugged me. "I just got my daddy, I'm not leaving any time soon."
I smiled and surprised her by picking her up, getting a yelp out of her. "Alright Clockwork, let's rock."
21: Cut and cue credits.
Dan: What the hell!? Where's the blood, the violence, the naked chicks!? What a fucking copout.
Phantom: Most of that happened last chapter.
Dan: God Damn it Clockwork, why didn't you bring me sooner.
Clockwork: I was only invited for this chapter.
Phantom: Anyway! shouldn't you be leaving with that asshole (points at Dan).
Dan: (Flips Phantom off) Bite me bitch.
21: I can really feel the love between you two.
Clockwork: Your right I should be leaving, (opens a portal) but I'm leaving Dan, if that is ok with you (looks at 21).
21: I'm fine with it, it'll be a good change of pace (Clockwork nods and goes into the portal).
Phantom: What!? But he's evil! He destroyed the world!
21: Technically no, because the events that let to that time line never happened, so that time line never existed.
Dan & Phantom: Huh?
21: (Sighs) The time line that Dan destroyed the world, never happened, so he never killed anyone.
Dan & Phantom: Ooohhh.
Phantom:... He's still an asshole.
21: Oh yeah, no doubt about that.
Dan: (groans) Hate you, hate you both.
21: (Looks to audience) Alright everyone, thanks for reading and don't forget to REVIEW.
