Chapter 25: He's A Phantom

In the Ghost Zone, a half-human half-ghost clone girl named Dani floated by in the endlessly confusing building. This was the home of Clockworks, with no place to go Dani ended up here and he'd allowed her to stay if she helped clean.

Dani found her way to Clockwork's room; it was a large room where countless screens. Clockwork was a blue ghost in a purple cloak; he regularly changed from a baby to an adult, to an old man before starting the cycle over again. He was busy looking over the screens.

"What's up, Clock Works?" Dani asked.

"Something is off," Clockworks told her, "Possible future timelines have suddenly begun blink out of existence."

Dani didn't get a lot of this time stuff, "Is that bad? They're possible timelines, right? They might never have become real."

Various screens showed places all over the Ghost Zone and the Human world. A Ghost Jail run by Walker when suddenly Walker and several ghosts began to vanish into dust. There was a medieval Ghost castle were a princess and several peasant ghosts disappeared. One screen showed the Observers also disappearing. Yet another screen showed a school where students in a panic as they dissolved, Dani recognized a bald teacher who turned into dust. Dani then noticed Nasty Burger were some of the staff and customers vanished.

"What's going on?" Dani asked, "I didn't think timelines blinking out would look like that."

Clockwork was scared, Dani didn't think she had ever seen him scared.

Clockworks rushed to a closet and opened inside was a Fenton Thermos that quickly dissolved. "It's catching up." He held out his staff and activated its power.

At Fenton works, the Fenton family was having breakfast together. Well, Jazz and Danny were having breakfast while Maddie and Jack Fenton were attaching something to the toaster.

"There!" Jack said triumphantly, and the toaster seemed to dance to his joy.

"Did you mean to do that?" Danny looked at his father's work.

"Hey, Danny." The goth girl Sam entered with Tucker close by.

Danny smiled at the arrival of his friends. It had been a few months since they all saved the world from a strange asteroid, and he revealed his identity to his parents, so he liked how some things still were so grounded.

Tucker waved at Danny as he worked on his PDA, Danny still wasn't sure how he was mayor. Sam leaned over and gave Danny a kiss, that might have been Danny's favorite change. They started dating, and things were good.

"Okay," Danny got up, "where's gonna head out to school and-"

The room burst open as Clockworks, and a confused Dani popped up.

Clockworks rushed for Danny.

Maddie and Jack pulled out their ghost hunting gear and aimed it to the ghost. They were ghost hunters, and even if their son was part ghost and they were more tolerant, they just saw a spirit show up out of nowhere and go for their kid.

"Whoa!" Tucker stopped them, "He' s a friend, sort of."

"Dani?" Sam looked over the confused clone.

Clockworks got to Danny, "Look, we don't have time, so listen, it's affecting all possible futures. You need to a map to trace-"

Suddenly the ghost that guarded time dissolved before them.

"What just happened?" Danny asked.

Dani just shook her head, scared, "I don't know, we saw all these screens."

"Jack!" Maddie let out as Jack faded away.

"Tucker!" Sam yelled as her friend Vanished.

"Jazz!" Danny looked on as his sister vanished.

Dani, in a panic, grabbed Danny hoping for anything, Danny held her close. She was his clone, and in many ways, a little sister, and right now, she was a scared little girl.

Sam's phone beeped as she got alerts from news reporting the same thing happening everywhere.

"Danny?" Maddie regained her, composure, "What's happening? And why does she look like you?"

Danny didn't know where to start, but he knew things were going to get worse before they got better.

Author's Notes: Okay, I'm probably going to get a lot of stuff on this one so let me explain. First, yeah, I know I age up some shows like Kim Possible and let their stories go on. I even know that Danny Phantom creator Butch Hartman has even designed the character's future versions and some story lines. Thats cool. Just I felt for the story I wanted to tell we would pick up with Danny a few months later after Phantom Planet. Most people don't know Danny's secrets, mostly the people who where there when he revealed it. And they seemed okay with keeping it secret despite the world making him a hero.

Okay, so people are going to say it should work on ghost since they aren't alive. Okay Thanos idea was based on resources and yes ghost have been shown to take resources. If you don't believe me check the episode in the ghost jail there was a cafeteria so they eat. If you take them as some sort of ecto energy beings then yeah they exist by feeding off energy. Hartman has said none of the ghost are the dead, which yeah okay we have ghosts of tornadoes and there are some that are clearly dead people. If they exist in some form I take they can still be snapped, if you got some sort of soul you can be snapped. The dead that moved on and there isn't some easy way to come back are except. So anyone in heaven or hell is probably safe. But realms like underworlds where people both living and dead can seeimgly travel to and from are fair game.
