.......GhostZone - Prologue (Present Day, 2006........
Clockwork sighed as he watched sixteen -year-old Danny Fenton's life crumble before his eyes.
Danny's as well, on account of him actually being in this horrific situation.
Clockwork only but a witness as to the observant's, only giving the permission to watch.
He clenched his fist on his staff wanting to change the hero's outcome. 'To watch' they always said to him, Clockwork grit his teeth in anger at the memory.
"but never act," he said allowed, angered by their ancient ways. Speaking of Observants, "Clockwork." they said allowed as they entered the room,
"Here to check on me?" he asked in an annoyed tone as he continued to watch the doors.
"Just checking to see if you chose to interfere, we know how much the boy is of interest to you, For whatever reason, but you cannot interfere!" they said yelling the last word in emphasis.
"I know," he said reverting to his baby form, from his previous senior form. " and I won't," he said turning towards the one-eyed headed ghosts.
Silence... "But it doesn't mean I don't care for the boy," he said as the Observants looked at each other before facing Clockwork once again who had reverted to his senior form.
"But the child must be destroyed, you know of his future!" said the first Observant,
"It won't be necessary," said Clockwork facing the doors once again, "I do, you do.. but the child does not! and he is to be given a choice!" not bothering to look at them this time,
"Daniel will not be going to Vlad, this time," he said speaking softly as if lost in thought. "Then where?" they asked curiously.
Clockwork smirked as he turned towards the Observants, "Enchancia."
.........meanwhile in the Kingdom of Enchancia, 1892........
eleven-year-old princess Sofia was asleep on her bed in her bedroom, she sighs irritably as the sun peaks through her satin curtains, the brightness making itself home on Sofia's face.
"Sofia wake up come on!" Clover the bunny shouts as he jumps on his best friend’s bed.
"mmm... five more minutes..." Sofia says softly as she yawns, putting her pillow over her head in a way to escape the sun.
Clover chuckled at the realization, "Usually, you're the one, making me get up, and I''m the one asking for more sleep." he said.
Violet the maid quietly entered the room, completely unaware of Clover's own feeble attempts. "Princess Sofia, breakfast is nearly ready, time to wake," she said.
as the maid headed towards the curtains as she quickly tossed them to their respected sides, the morning sun shining excessively, as it beat down on Sofia's pillow causing it to radiate heat.
Sofia groaned as she tossed the pillow on its usual spot, as she yawned and stretched before sitting on the edge of her bed before slipping on her slippers.
"it's easy, starting the day, once finally escaping the warmth of your bed," Sofia said softly as she smiled up at Violet.
"It sure is, Princess," said Violet as she helped Sofia into her usual purple gown, Once complete Violet slowly bowed. "Breakfast awaits Princess," she said with a smile.
"Thank you, Violet you're the best, as always," said Sofia as she waved back at the maid who stood to tidy up Sofia's room.
"Always a pleasure miss," she said as Sofia left her room as she walked through her sitting room and into the hall, heading into the dining room.
......Amity Park, 12/17/2006 Amity Park Courthouse......
"Case 3/0414 is in a discussion, as of 9:00 am on the date of 12/17/2006, Amity Park's known ghost hunter's, daughter, aka, Daniel’s parents."
"Daniel's teacher and dear friends were suddenly killed in the Nasty Burger explosion a week ago." said the judge as he adjusts his small glasses as he leaned over his desk.
"Now as of now, with the child's welfare at risk, it is in our best judgment that Daniel would be best suited with the Fenton's college friend Vladimir Masters."
said the judge as he read the file. "Daniel has a living relative though," pointed out a witness.
"Who lives in Arkansas, and the middle of nowhere, where Daniel won't be able to thrive socially." said the judge as he turned his head towards the court.
Murmurs, of Amity citizens, erupt through the courtroom. His Aunt, hidden in the faces of the crowd, as she wiped tears from her eyes.
........Amity Park, 12/15/2006.........
Flashback: The sounds of an explosion radiated throughout the town of Amity Park, Luckily no one was near the facility,
no customers or staff, but when being completely honest, people were killed that day. Good people, important people, to Danny Fenton/Phantom at least.
Family, friends and a man, who Danny never admitted to him, but was vitally important to the teen's life.
Crowds gathered amongst the rubble, debris, flying embers floating throughout the area as concrete spread amongst the city streets,
gasps heard throughout the crowd as they noticed the Nasty Burgers fate, A frantic Mrs. Foley shouting out her son's name as she clutched her husband's hand.
"Tucker!" the parents yelled as they walked quickly through the crowd. only to bump into the Manson's. "Sorry," said Mr. Foley as he grabbed his wife before backing up.
"Have you seen Samantha?" asked Mrs. Manson in a worried, tone.
"N...no we're sorry, we were looking for Tucker, have you seen him?" they asked, the Manson's only shaking their heads at the question.
"Where could my precious granddaughter be?'' asked Ida as she clutched her scooter's handles, unaware of the horrific event that just occurred.
.......Amity Park Courthouse, 12/17/2006.........
"Where is Vladimir Masters by the way?" asked the judge as he looked amongst the crowded courtroom.
Vlad stood up from his seat in the third row as he adjusted his suit and tie, before looking up at the judge. "Here your honor," he said as he gave him his most cunning smile.
"Oh, well there you are then." said the judge as he once again looked through Danny's file, reading Maddie and Jack's take on the billionaire.
"So you attended Wisconsin University with the recently deceased Fenton adults, correct?" asked the judge as he motioned the file in front of himself.
"Yes, your honor," said Vlad as he stood up straight as he adjusted his suit once again.
"You're of an appropriate guardian age," began the judge as he read Vlad's file, "You have multiple businesses, so money isn't an issue," he said.
Danny looked around the courtroom, wearing his suit from the reunion, a hand in his pocket, He stood tall, bruises, cuts, and scrapes were seen on his face, though looking a tad healthier compared to days before.
......Amity Park, 12/15/2006.......
"Has anyone seen the Fenton's?" asked Mrs. Foley, hoping her son was with his best friend Daniel Fenton.
The cops, that arrived moments before the paramedics, walked towards the Foley's and Manson's, as the two families looked at the broken family, unknown to them as they were.
"It seems with the incident at hand, releasing students from the high school earlier in the day...a few people weren't at the desired meeting location," said the cop.
"Well, who?" asked a very annoyed and emotional Ida, The cop took out a notepad as he read off the list.
"The Fenton's. Mr. Lancer, Samantha Manson, and a Tucker Foley." he said in conclusion.
The Manson's were frozen by the news, only Ida breaking down in tears, as for the Foley's well they weren't afraid to show their feelings.
Maurice fell to his knees as he clutched his fist in sorrow, as a tear trickled down his cheek.
-Flashback-
Tucker had wanted to make some sort of updated tech model and needed his father's parts engineering expertise, but he had always put it off, telling Tucker,
"Tomorrow, I am very swamped at the office," Tucker would smile, and say "it's not a problem." -End Of Flashback- but looking back, it was to late.
Pamela cried for her daughter as she yelled, "If only I tried to understand you!" as her husband clutched her against his chest in comfort.
A few hours later it was confirmed but more horrific. Mr. Lancer, Sam, Tucker and the Fenton's aside from Danny were killed in the explosion of the Nasty Burger.
"I am so sorry for your loss." said the cop as the EMTs entered the scene to look for any remains...
"What about Danny?" asked Mrs. Foley, she couldn't be there for her son but what about a boy who was family all the same?
.........Amity Park Courthouse, 12/17/2006.......
“You have multiple businesses, so money isn't an issue,” he said glancing at Vlad's files.
"No criminal records," Danny crossed his arms, a serious look on his face.
'that we know of.' thought Danny as he kept his arms to the side as a sign of respect, for the situation.
........Amity Park, 12/17/2006........
Amity police, Sargent Gomez slowly steps on the makeshift stage in the center of town, clearing his throat.
"In the events of the Nasty Burger's sudden demise, which can always be rebuilt, We were struck by a loss of a family,"
"their only living heir is their son and brother... Daniel James Fenton, Who is still missing, with an avid search in the process, as we plan to find the young..." he said.
as another cop ran up the steps. "We found him!" yelled a cop, as everyone turned towards the cop.
........meanwhile, with Sofia, Enchancia 1892.…...
"good morning mom, dad, Amber, James, and everyone," Sofia says softly as she yawns tiredly as she walks towards her family slowly at the table.
"good morning Sofia, good morning Princess Sofia," they said back in a kind and yet serious tone as they stare at her.
Sofia smiles kindly at them as she sits down in her seat at the dining table which was between Amber and James. as she took a sip of her water as she looked around the table.
It's been about a week since the Vor incident and things have been oddly quiet, too quiet.
"Listen up everyone we will need to discuss a matter of serious importance of what happened a week ago," King Roland says in a serious calm tone a worried look evident in his eyes.
Sofia took a deep breath biting her lip as she looked up at her dad, but not before taking a very long sip of water.
"yes your highness," Baileywick says politely in a calm and serious tone as he looks at his favorite princess with worried and serious eyes as if she was like a granddaughter to him.
Sofia looked up towards Baileywick, a sign of worry, as her eyes emphasized a pleading look of assistance.
"yes daddy I understand I was also worried about Sofia ever since I found out she always sneaking out of the castle to go on dangerous missions," Amber says in a worried and tired tone.
“Amber!” yelled Sofia, as she looked at her sister, utter betrayal surrounded her, her sister, practically raised together and she did this?!
“well, she’s the one that brought princess Ivy here!, By taking my amulet by the way!” She yelled pointing, as she put emphasis on the word amulet.
"what?!" King Roland yelled in anger as his head turns towards Amber next as he looks at her with serious and angry eyes.
"it was an accident I didn't mean to dad!, it was Sofia's mission that led to everything!" Amber says in a defensive tone.
“But you wanted it, didn’t you?” said Sofia with a smirk, “that’s why you took it when I was asleep,"
"you didn’t even want to have a sleepover with me, did you? You just wanted my amulet, it’s not a toy Amber.” She said in a serious tone.
as Queen Miranda looked up at her husband. James chowing down on a chicken leg very into the fight that was taken place.
"it's not fair you get to go on adventures and have powers and I don't." Amber complains as she frowns as she stands up from her seat looking jealous.
Sofia lifts up her hands towards Amber as if saying "See." an angry look on her face.
"that's enough! You both are to blame, go to your room's you both are grounded.” King Roland says angrily as he pointed his finger at the bedrooms with a serious expression.
Sofia doesn't say a word as she leaves the dining room, heading to her room, not bothering to look at Amber.
Amber pouts as she follows Sofia towards the hall's as she walks towards her own bedroom as well.
Sofia sighs as she walks into her room, once she enters her bedroom, she slams her door hard which made her bookshelf shake a little,
making a book fall from the shelf as it hits Sofia's forehead hard making her fall down as she hits the floor hard making her passed out.
........Amity Park Courthouse, 12/17/2006.......
"The fact of the matter is, Daniel, needs to be taken care of in a nurturing environment!" he said as he slammed his gavel on his podium, As he silenced the murmuring crowd. Silence...
Danny rubbed his neck as he sat quietly in a front row of the courtroom, sweat dribbling from his face, as he pulled at the collar of his dress shirt. He had no idea how to process this entire ordeal.
"As of the 17 of December 2006, I give custody of Daniel James Fenton to Vladimir Masters." he slammed his gavel,
"Daniel will be escorted to Fenton Works to gather some items, he wants to take to Mr. Master's home, Court adjourned," he said as he left through his small back door.
........Amity Park, 12/17/2006.........
Danny was led to his home for the last time, He was quiet, he was living with the Foley's through the whole court ordeal, which was pretty quiet with everything that's happened.
He didn't talk much to them, him wanting to let them process their new reality, I mean, what can you say to your recently deceased best friend's parents.
Danny quickly entered Fenton works as two men closed the door,
"Thirty minutes." said the man on the left, as the man on the right looked around the home, which looked as if nothing has changed.
Danny sighs as he looked around his childhood home, that just wasn't his anymore, When all hope was lost, as he had already accepted his fate, an idea popped into his head,
"It will be better than this." he said softly to himself as he headed into his room, as he quickly packed clothes, ghost weapons and a thermos hidden in his closet, shoes,
a few model rockets, his Ipod, cell phone, chargers, purple backpack after ditching everything school-related and an unopened model rocket box.
He turned around his room as he noticed his old stuffed ectopus, and rocket hidden under his dresser as he quickly tossed it in.
After making sure he got everything from his room he grabbed his open duffel as he keeled on the floor phasing his arm through the floor,
as he got a plastic bag that held his life savings of $600.00 dollars, once phasing it into the duffel he headed to Jazz's old room.
as he fought the tickling of a cry wanting to escape, wanting Jazz to nag him at least one more time.
He looked around as he quickly found what he was looking for, Bearbert Einstein, if anyone was going to have it, it should be him,
He took the stuffed bear in his hand as he phased him in the cramped duffel, Danny did the same as before as he phased his hand through the floor,
He had convinced Jazz to hide her savings in the floorboards just a year ago when life was complicated for the Fenton's though not as complicated as his life is today.
Once he finished stuffing it all in Danny headed to his parent's room. Messy and clean at the same time, Danny chuckled figuring one side of it is Jack and the other Maddie,
He looked at his cell, 10 minutes.. he looked through the entire room and only found $300 dollars, He sighed figuring the rest was in the bank, and Maddie hadn't been able to go to the bank recently.
Danny wouldn't be able to go to the bank, even though legally it's his, but that wouldn't be until he turned eighteen.
And he couldn't wait that long, luckily Danny found his mother's duffel as he tossed the $300.00, $600.00 and his dad's piggy bank in the bag.
Overall $900 and who knows cents, he brought out his phone as he checked his phone, 5 minutes. "It's now or never," he said.
as he went ghost, turning invisible as he went to his room grabbing his wallet and a picture frame of his family and friends as he phased them in his duffel with his clothes.
"Three minutes!" yelled a man as Danny sighed, taking a deep breath as he turned invisible and headed down to the lab.
He quickly ran towards the portal as he began tapping at the portal keys to gain access to the Ghost Zone, but also setting the self- destruct sequence.
"Fenton Portal to explode in 59...58...57..." the machine began to say as the men above heard from below as they began to head down to the lab,
Only to open the door too late as the explosion was heard, unknown to them, Danny Fenton/ Phantom was long gone.
