I finally got wifi back! Since I have off on Mondays I'll be updating then instead of Tuesday. So, I'm trying to keep the style of both shows, Danny Phantom with the comedy but with Arrow it's darker so there wont be much until farther on.
The 'quotes' before each chapter title are mine. They are lines I've made up that I have learned throughout high school. I would put quotation marks there (" ") but they aren't official, despite friends telling me they are because i said them.
All grammar mistakes are mine.
This is after Boxed Up Fury of DP and between seasons 2&3 of Arrow.
Once again I do NOT own Danny Phantom or Arrow.
Come to terms with your mistakes so you don't make them again.
Chap 2: Collapse
"Tucker, where are you?" a girl said over the comms unit.
"Checking the security system one more time."
"The first time was lucky, get back here."
"Sam, come one. It's not like they are ever here at night."
"Don't jinx it!"
"Their security is weak, it'll be easy to get in." there was a crackle over the comms that both teens froze.
"Is everything okay over there?" came another voice.
"Jazz, you scared us." Sam breathed a sigh of relief
"Sorry, about that. Just got in from college."
"Talk to you later Jazz, Tucker is kind of busy."
"No, all of you need to stay on unit." A man said over the noise. "Foley, don't you dare drop this. There is seven of us trying to plan a way to get Phantom out."
"Why should we trust you?" Jazz asked getting seriously tired of the government.
"We know Phantoms secret, and we would've exposed it if we knew that the GIW would get shut down permanently."
"You would lose your jobs."
"I'd rather lose my job than the risk of my family. I have a son, daughter, and wife at home. If I said anything outside this facility of what we knew was really going on, then they would have been murdered in cold blood."
"What is happening to him?" Sam asked fearful.
"We have war veterans in here and they moved departments trying to get away from what Agents O and K were doing. They didn't quit because they were afraid of what would have happened to Phantom without their involvement." All three teens heard a deep sigh over the comms. "Each person in every one of our departments have been helping him in some way. Creating an ointment to numb pain, diluting the ectoranium equipment, destroying Phantom's blood sample, and destroying all files that connect anything and anyone that may lead back to him. We need to get him out ASAP, we can do it anytime this week."
"Do you have positions already placed?"
"Everything is in order. We planned on getting you three in to Phantom so no one else gets attacked, and he would recognized you three as friends."
"I'd rather stay on the home front here. A lot of people go to school around here who are Phans yet."
"When this is over we have questions for you three. Besides that, phase one will start tonight so we can get him out quickly tomorrow."
"Sounds good. When do you want us there by?"
"Late afternoon. Less busy the better."

"Ashley does someone have the keys to the cell door?" Seth asked stepping past her.
"Matt has them, I'll take them back before he leaves." She said walking past him turning into the cafeteria where everyone is at.
Seth walked to his station after his meeting with the group, the plan started this morning. Someone had to cut the power, two people had to take the agents down, two had to do a sweep for any hidden cameras.
As the hours ticked by something on the screen wasn't right, they were bringing Phantom back out. Zooming in on the papers in the one scientists hands he realized that they were planning to work him at the same time that they planned on breaking him out. He paused the video when one of the other rebellion members walked in.
"They found out, how?" Seth asked.
"Remember Phantom wouldn't give up, so why should we?" he placed a hand on Seth's shoulder. He looked up in time to see the boy's insignia on one of the screens. Despite how depressed he is, the symbol gave the two men the hope they needed. "I'll nock the agents out."
"You will need to get out then."
"What about you?"
"I let my family know what was happening. Tell them what I did, all of it."
"You want Phantom out that badly." Seth nodded his head not trusting his voice.
"It's getting to that time. You ready?"
"As ready as I'll ever be." He turned around back to his systems. "Get everyone into position as I wait for the call." Seth sat almost peacefully as he waited for the inevitable, some reason already getting the feeling that he won't make it through till the next morning.
"Agent, you there?" a voice came over the comms.
"Yeah, walk towards the back door someone will be waiting there." He watched Foley and Manson come in contact with Ashley at the door.
"Remember, no noise and please follow our instructions." She said to the two teens.
"What's with the warning?" Sam asked.
"Some things just didn't go as planned today." She pulled the keys from her pocket as they reached the stairwell. "This may go well into the night. You two can stay with one of us then if you wish." She reached a certain point of the floor and stopped. Next to her was the sound proof door that led down to where Phantom was.
"What are we waiting for?"
"The signal." Said Seth from the comms. "Although I do have a question? How did Jazz survive the explosion and why aren't Phantom's parents looking for him?"
"That's two questions."
"Shut up about my ability to count."
"Jack and Maddie Fenton caught Phantom and vivisected him taking a blood sample as well. They got the sample and found out that they been torturing their own son. As they waited for him to heal the GIW got word of the situation and stormed the house, they got Phantom then tore the house down leaving Jack and Maddie inside. Jazz was in college when she found out then told us; that was a year and a half ago." Tucker answered knowing that it was a very sensitive subject for Sam.
"I should have figured this out sooner!" There was a bang on the other side. "The signal is about to come, Ashley be ready."
"Key is in the door."
"Once the power shuts off it'll be up to you four to get him out."
"Four? There's only three."
"We have someone who will take the other agents out."
There was a blinking light above them as all the other lights shut off. Ashley grabbed their arms as she brought them down the steps. "Ashley his straps are cut." Said the voice.
"Are the agents knocked out?"
"One got passed and I'm trying to find him, stay where you are." There was some scuffle on the other end before it sounded like something was hit. "NNOOO!" the man said. Painful screams followed.
Ashley pulled back on the teens as they tried to go past. "What happened?"
"They threw a knife into Phantom, freshly made ectoranium scalpel." The screams still going. "Get everyone out! This place isn't going to hold all that pressure."
"I'm not leaving without Phantom!" Four of Seven voices yelled at the same time.
"I'm going to return power."
"Don't, we won't have the upper hand." The sound of the wall and ceiling started to crack forcing everyone to rethink their train of thoughts. As they ran out of the stairwell, the place started to crumble around them. "We are trapped!"
"I'm coming down to get everyone out." Seth said leaving his station.
Phantom's pressure with his ecto-blasts continued, but stopped as another knife tore through his skin. His scream formed into his Ghostly Wail. Turning intangible he flew through the floor just to see his friends and unknown to him his rescue crushed beneath the rubble that he caused. Angry, upset, and still in pain he flees the room to the night sky showing the full moon on this sad night. Using his cyrokinesis he froze the building where it was and shot an ice filled ectoplasmic ball in the air to create an explosion of light blue and neon green; big, bright, and loud enough to be investigated.
From there the moon looked sadden as the young hero flew north tears flowing freely after everything that has happened.

"I am quite surprised Clockwork that you haven't stepped in yet." Said a one eyed blob that didn't have a mouth but a white and gold robe around him.
"He needed to see the deaths of his friends to remind him that he can still go down the path if he chooses." Clockwork stated. "Not that you care." This figure seemed like a grandfather clock with a purple cloak around him. He changed between child, adult, and elder as he looked into the time screens that show the being all of the possible outcomes.
"Just kill the boy and be over it." another stated coming in.
"You exist to observe, not to watch the timeline and all the changes that it may make."
"That boy—"
"Enough! I will not wait here for you to ridicule something you have no control of." The observants left to leave Clockwork alone. "Daniel, there will be a time that you must come to the acceptance that you are the future ghost king. Until then, the prince will be left alone to heal and come to another team that needs him." He watched as a green hooded man kneeled down to Daniel to speak with him, only for Daniel to lash out. Another played to see Daniel laying shirtless on a metal table and shoot up scaring the four occupants in the room.
I'm trying not to take this forever but I don't want to rush it...the rest of this A/N is my thought process.
I do enjoy stories where Danny looks up to Clockwork like a father, not in this case. In TUE it was Danny's choice to cheat on the C.A.T, due to that the world was destroyed. Those involved in time can't let that happen, something needed to be done.
In this, Danny would have fallen into depression and the reluctance to use his powers would have created destruction around him. Still causing to destroy the world. By giving him a reason to still live he would reign in his powers using them again.
This is becoming writing practice towards a book. Don't usually like line breaks, but for Phoenix Rising it's becoming a need to get where I need to go.
