I don't own Danny Phantom and Young Justice or the characters.

10/27/22-Edited

A bright light woke me up. I guess I forgot to close the curtains. Well since I am already up I should start getting ready. It has been a week since we defeated the A-List once and for all. Since we have time now we are going into the Ghost Zone to talk to allies, visit and introduce Star to my closest friends in the Ghost Zone and finally start plans for a portal to the Living Zone from the Ghost Zone. After I got done showering, I was greeted by my friends and Jazz in the kitchen and the smell of fake and real eggs and bacon with toast that I didn't eat today. Breastfast was a lively affair and lovely. Everyone was on a high from finally defeating the A-List. I still am very worried. The ghosts aren't attacking, which means something bad is going to happen. Star looked worried too. That is why we are going to the Ghost Zone for the most part. We needed to know what was going on.

After breakfast, we all went downstairs to the lab, where we found Mom and Dad slumped over on the table with their notes. Before I could notice the weird but familiar logo on their blueprints they started waking up so we had to run into the Speeder and gun it. The Ghost Zone looked like itself with neon green skies and purple doors. Looking back I saw Star looking wide-eyed into the Ghost Zone, much like the first time I was here. We were going to Pandora and Clockwork to talk and to learn what I needed to do to become the Ghost King. Of course, I want to slowly make the Ghost Zone a republic government. It would give the ghosts something else to do, follow politics, and maybe even become a politician.

We were getting close to Pandora's place. The white houses and buildings on the hills were sticking out. Finally, we were at the gate that was guarded by spectral guards.

I pulled up and said, "We are here for Pandora and Clockwork."

They let us in and we went to her place. The halls of her place had marble floors with cream walls and gray trim.

One of the servants, Oliva said "What can I do for you Prince of the Ghost Zone?"

I said "Nothing currently, thank you though. We are just going to the meeting room."

When we got in,

Pandora ran up to us and said "You're here! Oh, this must be Star. I have heard about you from Danny and Clockwork. Oh, where are my manners? I am Pandora."

Star smiled and said "I am Star, you knew that though. Nice to meet you, Danny also told me how you have helped him a lot. Thank you for that."

"No problem, I enjoyed it."

Clockwork said "And I am Clockwork. We need to get this meeting started sadly."

We all sat down at the chairs with our names on them. Star was sitting next to me. I thought I saw Clockwork smirking but it disappeared just as quickly.

Pandora said "First order of business, Ghosts have been disappearing from the Ghost Zone. Have you noticed anything lately?"

I was shocked and said "I have been fighting way fewer ghosts, but I didn't realize that they were going missing. I just thought they were planning for something big."

Star squeezed my hand and I squeezed back.

Pandora said, "Have you noticed anything with your parents or the GIW?"

"Nope, not really. My parents have just been working a lot and they also got overshadowed for some reason."

Pandora "What did the ghosts look like and did they tell you anything?"

I said " They had red eyes and green bodies. They also said that all they did was amplify my parent's true feelings, which showed they were brash and violent and not caring."

Pandora said "Why did they overshadow them? You can't stay there. Do you have any other place or person you can live with?"

I said " I don't know why they did it. I can see no motive. I kinda have to stay. What if my parents find out or the police? The house could be off-limits to me and I couldn't get to the Ghost Zone. Plus Aunt Alica couldn't adopt us because her house is miles away from civilization and schooling. Plus we couldn't keep Amity safe."

Clockwork said "You can just buy a house or a base of operations with a living space. I agree with Pandora, you can't risk your life on this."

Star said "That is a really good idea! We can keep our suits there and have a place to do superhero stuff. We might be able to have a computer place for Tucker and a Ghost Warning system. We could have a training area and teleportation system for my connections."

I said, "Yeah I think I will do that, my Dan Knight money would help me out with this project."

Pandora said "Dan Knight, isn't that the writer that everyone has been raving about for a while? Wait, your enemies love your books, talk about irony."

Star said, "I can also help my Mercury Drew money is enough to help out too."

Sam with her mouth slightly open said "Have I told you how much I like you? You have written some of my favorite books!"

Star said, "Thank you."

Pandora exclaimed, "I now have even more reason to read your books!"

Clockwork stated "As much as I want to continue this conversation, we have a lot to discuss before our allies get here. We need to have rough plans so they can keep the Ghost Zone in order. For one Danny, you need a Ghost Zone guardian until you officially become King."

I pondered the issue for a while,

Then I came up with an idea, "You guys are the closest people I have to parents. Do you both want to be my legal guardians?"

Pandora had tears in her eyes saying tearfully "Yes of course."

Clockwork also with a small smile said, "I would love to."

I said, "So what are our first orders of business for when I am King."

Pandora said "Well you need to make a few basic rules to keep the peace and to be able to add to them. Like you need to control the ghosts going out of the Ghost Zone. You also need to make this place have more entertainment to keep the ghosts more entertained so they will go into the Living Zone less. You also need to be an ambassador for us in the political and world scene."

I said, "That sounds like a plan. But we need to also have a rough plan for moving the Ghost Zone into a republic democracy, it has to be slow or the whole process would turn into utter chaos. I cannot in good conscience have the perfect setup for me to become a dictator."

Pandora said "This is why we need you as King. You care too much for everything to go wrong again."

So we all got a slideshow ready, mostly with Tucker's help in only 30 minutes, and were ready for our allies to come in. The Observants have been ruling the Ghost Zone since their ancestors defeated Pariah Dark, they have become very power-hungry. That means if I want to get on the throne I have to have a very strong political backing before I even start. Then my bills started coming in. I grabbed Star's hand and she rubbed my hand.

First Frostbite which rules the Far Frozen which had the best lab in the Ghost Zone.

When I introduced Star to him he said "It is great to meet O'Great One's girlfriend!"

I said with a slight blush "We are just good friends."

Frostbite said, "Sorry for my mistake."

Star said "No problem."

I said, "Well anyway, you have met the rest of Team Phantom and then there is my support team Pandora and Clockwork."

Then Princess Dora showed up. "Star this is Princess Dorathea. Princess Dorathea this is Star Waller, the one that was the reason that Amity Park got cleaned up. You know everyone else in Team Phantom. Then there is my support team Pandora and Clockwork."

Dorathea said "Nice to meet you, Star Waller. I am glad Amity is less corrupt. All of you guys can call me Princess Dora or just Dora depending on the circumstance. We will all be working together to drag the Ghost Zone to glory."

After Dora sat down in her seat Nocturn came in. He was there mostly because he was a huge political name in the Ghost Zone. We had come to a truce a few months ago after I said no trying to take over Amity Park, just harvest dreams.

"Nocturn, this is Star Waller, Star this is Nocturn, one of my former enemies."

"Nice to meet you, Nocturn."

'You too.'

We all sat down and

I said "Let's start the meeting. All of you are here because you guys care about the Ghost Zone and want to move it in the best direction possible. Basically, the plan is that we are going to control movement into the Living Zone or the Human world but also put entertainment and jobs in the Ghost Zone so we all have something to do. We also need to add a few basic rules. I am thinking about doing a Bill of Rights for the Ghost Zone. I will also be an ambassador for us in the Living Zone since Atlantis and Paradise Island are showing up. Now is the time to reveal ourselves. My priority is our safety, so if we have to hide, we will. I also want to slowly move the Ghost Zone into a republic democracy, the king will mostly be a symbol, like the US government system. What do you guys think?"

Princess Dora exclaimed "I love it! The basic plan is awesome and I am willing to work on it all the way."

Clockwork said, "I think it will work, it will take years, but it has the potential to change the Ghost Zone forever and make it modern."

Pandora stated "I see no major flaws. We need to get a large diverse group of people to form our government but, this could be the next US."

Frostbite exclaimed, "It is a brilliant plan O'Great One."

Nocturn said "I like it and I agree with Pandora. We need a committee for the new government and they will outline it."

I said "Yeah Pandora is right. That is perfect. Since I have too many enemies right now to lead a meeting for the committee, can you do it, Pandora?"

Pandora said, "Of course." Then I said "I am going to make a Ghost Zone portal and try to get it close to Pariah's castle and hopefully it can go wherever I want it to. Does anyone know how to do that?"

Frostbite said "I know how to do that O'Great One, I can do that. Where do you want the one in the Living Zone so I can start?"

I said "Not yet. I am going to buy a lot to build a base for my hero activity and a place to live. A warning to all of you guys, my parents have started to go off the deep end. Unless necessary please don't go through their portal. Can you guys spread this across the Ghost Zone? I will buy the lot as soon as possible so you can start."

They all said that they could do that.

Frostbite said, "Sounds like a plan."

I said "Meeting over." We all started moving out and going home. The meeting took seven hours to finish and it was getting late. Once everyone was out except for Team Phantom and Pandora and Clockwork,

Pandora said, "Do you guys want to stay for dinner?"

I said "I need to go home. Can any of you guys stay?"

No one could stay, so we all left with the promise we would come back for dinner. Clockwork also couldn't stay, time stuff. We all got into the Specter Speeder and headed to the Fenton Portal.

We all snuck into the Lab and my parents were awake and working like mad on some invention. So I flew the Specter Speeder while it was intangible and invisible into my room and then,

I said, "Everyone get out please and let me know when I can bring this downstairs."

Star then said, "Everyone out."

Then I brought it down to the lab and put it back. I made the Specter Speeder visible and solid when my parents weren't looking. Then I flew up and landed in my room. Then the ghost alarms went off and my parents quickly ran into my room, eyes wide and insane smiles.

M-mom said "Honey, do you know where the ghost is?" in a sickly sweet tone.

I said, shaking "No. You must have missed it."

When my parents left,

I said "That scared me shitless. I need to get that base now."

Star said "Yeah you do. Scared me shitless too."

Everyone else agreed with me. Team Phantom left to make it home for curfew.

Then Jazz hugged me and said "I have to go. I would feel better if you came with me to my home and stayed there for the night. Can you come?"

I said 'Sure just let me pack. Be out in a few."

After packing I flew Jazz to her apartment which is slowly becoming more of a home than the Fenton's home. I got ready for bed and,

I said, "Jazz, what is happening to our parents."

She said "I don't know little brother. We can only hope we end up okay."

I hugged her and both of us went to bed. The minute I hit the couch I fell asleep.
