Beware the Blob Mafia

Where Danny is younger (12-ish) wants to be an entomologist (Insect Scientist) instead of an astronaut and develops a different core as a result...an Insect core!

Also, I kind of headcanon that Blobs are animal ghosts and Zone-born ghosts while Shades are intelligent Sapient ghosts who crossed over the the Infinite Realms.

~•~ ~•~ ~•~ ~•~ ~•~

• It all started when a blob got caught in the middle of a fight with one of his rouges. The little blob remembered Danny when he released it and a small bundles of them from his parents' traps. Intially, they saw the boy as an unusually powerful newborn predator, so they tended to stay away to avoid being eaten by him up until they realize he was purposely freeing several dozens of them from the bad human scientists with no sinister intent.

- They decide to form a symbiotic relationship with Danny by becoming a loyal swarm in the hopes of staying close to him as protection, as they are lowest on the food chain. The young Halfa has no idea they imprinted on him, he thinks they're just being extra friendly.

Blobidious (as Danny named him) and his group bring refined ambient ectoplasm and human food to their protector to keep both sides of the Halfa nourished. They unintentionally stole from random restaurants, stores, and homes for a little while until Danny catches wind of food going missing from people's houses and has to teach them to not do that. Though, the occasional Nasty Burger wouldn't hurt anyone...a small fee in the shape of a combo meal for keeping Amity Park safe, if you will.

- Thankfully, Sam and Tucker help by having food stuff stashed away in their rooms at their houses for the little battalion to grab for him when he's hungry, as his own home is to dangerous.

• As time passes, Danny's new ghost core slowly evolves to become a living hive/den for blob ghosts to live in where they rest after a day of successfully working on collecting nourishment for their protecter. With the area around his core becoming a small pocket dimension that serves as the main nesting area for them, adorned with a honeycomb pattern over its surface.

- Danny's human body has also evolved to hide the ecto signature of the swarm and himself as a defense mechanism, making the Fenton household defenses unable to detect their ecto signatures, much to his surprise and relief. When he transforms for the first time after his body successfully completes its metamorphosis, he appeared more insect-like in the beginning.

(Think like Devorah from MK series.)

Due to the nature of having a bestial core, he can transform into a large variety of Insect/Human forms and utilize their abilities via his Obsession with bugs. Danny's already insane strength and skill set being amplified by using the powers of the most unique insects on the planet.

• Danny's naturally produced ectoplasm from his body combined with the refined ambient ectoplasm collected by the swarm creates a ghost jelly. As he uses it to revitalize himself for the first time, the effects are almost instant, with wounds healing themselves rapidly and finding himself full of energy that lasts for days with no need for sleeping or eating. Due to the energy crash, he uses it sparingly, which causes an overflow resulting in a leaky core and him puke up the excess amounts.

Not wanting to have it happen again, he lets his swarm have the excess as reward for everything they've been doing for him, completely unaware of the hell he was gonna unleash on everyone with this offering to his little buddies.

~•~ ~•~ ~•~ ~•~ ~•~

• They proceed to evolve rapidly and become much more powerful as a result of eating the jelly. They begin to specialize and diversify their roles to better aid their boss to help him succeed and survive in Amity's ghost-ridden madness. Their symbiosis has resulted in Danny learning a form telepathy only he and the Swarm can communicate with.

From the simple blob ghost, Collectors, Warriors, Hunters, Scouts, and Workers arise to fill new roles. What's more astounding thing is the fact that they aren't just stronger, but have a higher intellect and can think and behave with reason, picking up on Danny's thought process and following his lead.

- Collectors are tasked to seek out ambient ectoplasm and food for the Danny. They also evolved in a way to leech it from hostile ghosts and follow hunters/soldiers to aid in subjugation. They can even drain humans attackers of their stamina and emotions, stripping them of their will to fight and leaving them unable to act.

- Soldiers are responsible for accompanying Danny to fights and following his orders on the field. They are also tasked with protecting the civilians from other ghosts looking to cause harm and evacuate the nearby area. The townsfolk were intially terrified, seeing monstrous ghost bugs, but calmed down knowing that they were Phantom's " pets", ready to defend them all.

- Hunters specialized in stealth, ambush and hit-and-run tactics, purposely venturing out into Amity Park and seek out his rouges in packs and dragging them back after paralyzing the offenders to be souped with a few Collectors in tow to squeeze 'em dry.

- Scouts are the crew that watched over Danny when he sleeps or when he's unable to transform into Phantom at the time, patrolling Amity Park for ghostly activity. If they saw/sensed a nearby ghost, they would emite a pheromone to alert the horde.

- Workers kept their intial blob form and stay inside Danny to be on standby to strengthen his body via nurturing it and repair it from the inside, taking the non-combat role; focusing on healing his wounds and making his body much more durable and healthy by merely being the caretakers of their boss. Thanks to their continued efforts, it increases the space for small pocket dimension to carry things he would need and increase the capacity for the swarm's hive.

His body is at its peak and the definition of perfect health. Perfect sight, hearing, strength with a quick healing factor for a boy young as he!

• Danny was intially surprised when the Swarm first came out of their volition to fight and was worried for them. But after seeing them pull a Cujo and transforming into Insect monsters of various sizes to beat down the unsuspecting victim rouge (Box Ghost), he's relieved that they're safe and he's excited that he's no longer alone in the literal fights against ghosts and that his friends don't have to jeopardize themselves without proper backup.

• Meanwhile, Danny's rouges are having an awful time in the wake of his growing bond to his Swarm. They can't enter the living world without a literal army of blob ghosts waiting for them to pop out the portal.

- Skulker tried to hunt them down only resulting in him getting his suit torn to shreds by the Welp (Phantom/Danny) when one of his blobs got hurt by the hunter's stray shot.

- Ember tried to pull a Pied Piper and force them under her control, but it only resulted in her guitar getting badly damaged and her ectoplasm sucked out of her by the Collectors.

- Spectra and Bertrand developed a severe phobia of insects after they brought her scheme crashing down and nearly killed them both after she tried to manipulate Danny like in canon, reveling in his despair until it brought the full fury of the swarm to make the attempt to destroy her when she made him upset. The swarm would've succeeded if Danny didn't call them off and she hasn't returned from the Zone since.

- Technus kept having his machines melted by corrosive acid being spat at him and ripped apart with the insane bite force of the insects assaulting him.

- The only one who managed to get passed them was Cujo. The pup's obsession wasn't destructive in nature and took a liking to Phantom and his hundreds of friends, even going as far as to acknowledge Phantom and even listen to him, making him get a pass while the others were stuck in the Zone, totally not jealous.

• The ghost pup was able to be stopped by Danny and the Swarm before he could destroy Axion Labs, making Val see the infamous "Spectral Skitter" in a more positive light.

She was a little mad, but seeing Phantom laughing as he gave the ghost puppy his favorite toy gave her a somber reminder that they both, the puppy and the ghost boy, had died way too soon. Val would still become Red Huntress, but less out of revenge, but to find out more about Phantom, becoming the 4th person to know Danny's secret.

• Vlad is rather good in this au! The sting of Jack and Maddie's abandonment made him a recluse and he refused to try and find happiness out of fear of being abandoned again. Causing his once green ectoplasm to become a shade of violet, as it was his pent up love made manifest.

- But Vlad wouldn't let that stop him, nor would it hold him back in life! He came into his own in Wisconsin after starting a successful chain of brands revolving around dairy goods, using a small portion of the earned funding to research ghosts in his free time using actual methods of study and not the havoc he's heard regarding a certain set of ectobiologists. He honestly can't help but be worried about young Daniel and Jasmine. He can only imagine that whirlwind of a life the children must have, having his former friends as parents.

- After making enough progress, his therapist suggests Vlad getting back out there and try giving the socializing scene another shot, as the Halfa himself mentioned that he missed companionship during their last meeting. Being socially inept, he decides to transform and look around for potential associates while invisible. So lost in thought that he ended up in Illinois on accident when his ghost sense went off like a bomb.

- He jaw fell open when he couldn't believe what he was seeing. He saw giant ghost insectoids that were taking down several Ecto beasts being led by Skulker, who seemed to have tamed (intimidated) them to his side. Another group was taking the people far away from the fighting and standing guard over them. Despite his curiosity being peaked, Vlad couldn't help but groan loudly and facepalm. The tin can tried skinning the older halfa in the past, only for it to end with the said Halfa threatening to destroy the little nuisance's core if he kept it up. He hadn't had a problem since, but seeing the "Greatest Hunter" again made his eye twitch something fierce.

"When I get that welp's pelt I'll–"

"Prove to everyone that you're the greatest hunter ever and yada yada yada...Soup Time!"

Along with his defeated beasts, Skulker is absorbed into the Fenton Thermos and Phantom powers down back into his human form after hiding in a nearby alley...not even realizing that Vlad just saw him do that.

• Vlad immediately knows that this is Daniel Fenton, due to looking up the Fentonworks Website in the 'About Us' page and seeing the major similarities between the "two" boys". He also knows that Phantom is labeled as the "Ghost Menace"...who was constantly being hunted by Jack and Madeline, getting shot at like it's open season, causing needless destruction in their wake...like how they tried to hunt him a few years prior...

- Knowing Jack and Madeline, This makes poor Vlad's mood go from bad to infinitely worse because that meant that they had no idea that they've killed their own child (like him, oof) and have been hunting him since his first appearance in Amity. He immediately retreats back to his castle and has a severe panic attack.

• After calming down, Vlad will probably try to murder his old friends like in canon by inviting the family to his place, but it comes from a messed up sense of needing to protect Danny from his disastrous parents, seeing the younger as a victim of his parents recklessness. It takes a lot of convincing, but Danny is able to get him to stand down and explain that his parents aren't as dangerous as he says they are. Except Vlad had made very good counterarguments that made the younger Halfa question the doubts he had about his parents.

- It doesn't help that the original members of his swarm don't answer when he asks for a biased opinion in his favor. Surely his folks would still love him once he tells them what happened down in the lab...right? Danny makes the protocol "Friend or Foe" with Sam and Tucker and creates a guideline depending on which way the wind blows that fated day.

- Vlad gave him his number, a key, and a room for him to stay at the castle should he be inclined to take the offer should the worse come to pass. Telling the young badger that he had a place to retreat to in case things goes sideways and someone willing to train him as well.

• Jack and Maddie are up to their usual activities, but they meet more resistance by both the ghosts and people of Amity Park.

- The blob ghosts they usually catch to turn their ectoplasm to power their weapons or experiment on have made an alliance with Ghost Boy, Phantom, who made them far more powerful and elusive than they previously were. It doesn't help that their failed attempts to grab one usually end up with some form of property/vehicle damage while Phantom and his monsters scatter and vanish as soon as they arrive.

- People are genuinely looking to the literal ghost child (Phantom) for protection and has been keeping the streets of Amity Park safe from ghosts more than the proclaimed "Ghost Experts". He even began rehabilitating most of his old enemies at this point and helped them find non harmful methods for them to fulfill their obsessions at this point of the timeline. They couldn't defeat him or his army, so they yielded and gave his methods a chance with good degrees of success.

When a curious person (Jazz, the daughter of the town ghost experts) "asked" about a ghost's obsessions and why they fight, Danny goes into extreme detail (thank you, Clockwork and Pandora!) about why it is a ghost would do the things they do, debunking many ectobiologists theories and scientific discoveries made by the field of study.

• It felt like a slap in face and all their hard work was being undermined.

- This causes a screaming match between Maddie and Phantom. Both who are refusing to back down and causing a crowd to form.

"You're kind are danger to humans!"

"Have you seen how you nutjobs drive!? There's a reason nobody parks their cars on your street! You're a living road hazard!"

"You ghosts have been terrorizing the town!"

"Excuse me!? We've been PROTECTING it from your mistakes! Maybe if you actually studied ghosts instead of labeling us non sentient and cutting us up and making them live ammunition, you'd get better results!"

• It just keeps going until something in Danny starts snapping. He's already past sobbing and red in the face with panic and anger, the swarm is practically going feral as they sense the distress rolling off of him in waves, waiting for these humans to dare to make a move. Snarling, hissing and growling could be heard from hundreds of creatures slowly manifesting in the sky, floating with eyes glowing blood red.

People begin to start to worry out as they never seen Phantom's pets like this before...but then again...holding guns up to a kid who died recently and protects them from both the ghosts and the Fenton's daily madness isn't exactly a good image.

"You may have fooled everyone else, but you haven't fooled us, Phantom Menace! If we let our guard down, your kind will exploit us and we'll all be paying for it!"

And just like that...the final thread self control snaps and Phantom explodes. His scream of anger is amplified by his swarm and takes out most of the devices powered by ectoplasm.

Pay for it...PAY FOR IT!? WHAT DO YOU NOW ABOUT "PAYING FOR IT" WHEN ALL THIS WAS ALL YOUR FAULT!? ALL BECAUSE YOU MADE A LITERAL PORTAL TO HELL! YOU'RE SO OBSESSED WITH GHOSTS YOU HAVEN'T EVEN NOTICED WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME..."

The silence that came after was deafening and as the "good doctors" try to object, they themselves are stunned into silence as well when a ring forms around Phantom's waist and reveals who he actually is. Gasps and shouts of surprise are heard as a teary eyed boy stares down at his parents from a roof, glaring icy daggers with tired eyes.

"You were always in the lab, for days on end, as Jazz and I grew up. She put up with it and accepted the fact that work took priority, but I didn't! I hated that stupid portal and I went into the damn thing trying to make it work so you could pay attention to us again...but it turned on with me inside because a "genius" put the power button inside...which I hit on accident...making me die alone!

My grades dropped off a cliff because I had to step up and take responsibility for YOUR obsession with ghosts! I lost so much sleep because there were threats almost every other day trying to cause problems for Amity Park! Jazz was almost murdered and I almost had to kill the ghost to stop her from harming my sister! I had to literally beat my rogue's gallery into submission so they could behave and to protect them from ghost hunters so I could get to live a semi-normal life again! My so-called evil "parasites" have been helping me out keeping everyone who saw me as some weird freak safe since we teamed up and I won't let you slander them or myself anymore!"

It made the people of Amity feel sick to know the truth. The small kid who likes bugs who was supposed to barely start high school was the same friendly ghost who constantly charged into battle to keep everyone safe. His friends and enemies alike were under his protection out of the kindness of his heart when he could've easily used his powers for mischief, or worse, evil. As the realization began to sink in, people began to whisper and mutter to each other.

"An actual kid was defending us the whole time!?"

"Bug-a-Boo was really just a kid..."

"Danny Fenton is the Spectral Skitter!?"

"THEY KILLED THERE OWN KID!?"

That's what made people turn on the Fentons with the looks of disdain and anger. People were forming a protective ring around Danny as they continued to bombard his family with accusations and throwing insults. "Hey, Jazz is innocent in all of this, so leave her out of the hate mob! My sister barely found out and has been taking care of me better than our own parents well before I died...was there for me when things were at their worst fighting back the ghost..."

As the two Fenton siblings looked at each with soft, reassuring smiles, the tender moment was ruined when a blast went off, screams were heard and Danny stumbled back in shock at the sudden pain and blood blooming in his chest. It didn't punch through him fully, but cracked his ribs and now he was on the ground in pain. The shooters fate was sealed when a soldier's stinger punched through the attacker's leg with an ecto blast before the swarm and began fighting men in white suits, the attackers being overrun quickly and being mangled savagely before stopping at Danny's order before fainting.

In their desperate attempt to get Danny to safety, the swarm grabbed his unconscious body and hurriedly went through the Ghost Portal before blowing it up, preventing the Guys in White from doing more damage. There, they were greeted by Danny's greatest ally, Clockwork, and Yeti named Frostbite who wished to help their Boss. With reluctance and cries of sadness, they gave him to the beastman and hoped for the best.

DP X DC WRITING PROMPT #18

✦

Handle With Care

So. Danny is more exhausted than usual, his enemies seemingly agreeing to harassing him all at once for the past couple of days. Which is the only reason his Dad gets a lucky shot in on one of their usual chases all across town.

The only thing is, Danny got shot with a new weapon his parents had just finished making that afternoon and it produces terrifying results. Instead of being a regular ecto blaster his parents so love to make, this weapon his an extra special function. It's meant to end a ghost's very existence from one shot alone.

Danny is half ghost though and it's the only thing that saves him. The new weapon siphons away the ectoplasm that makes up his ghost form's very being and forces him into a painful, paralyzing state of destabilization while still partially retaining his form.

Basically, instead of Danny falling apart into puddles of goo like he'd witnessed with Dani, his ice core cracks from the stress of the sudden, severe lack of ectoplasm and in an act of self preservation, slowly freezes him solid from the center of his core to his extremities. He only has time to catch sight of his friends and several of his classmates staring in horror, some even recording everything live on their phones as he slowly froze over. A single tear slips from his eye before he completely freezes over.

The Fenton parent's hoot and holler over their victory to the disgust of onlookers. After they're done celebrating, they make their way over to Phantom's frozen form and were about to proceed to shatter him completely but several of the football players and many other students managed to tackle them to the ground before they could so much as scratch him. Several others set up a human barricade to keep them as far from Phantom as possible, most of them in states of anger or full on crying over what the two ghost hunters had done to their hero.

Sam, Tucker, and Jazz are understandably a mixture of both. They decide to inact one of their back up plans for whenever Amity Park became too dangerous for Danny's continued existence.

As Sam and Jazz carefully prepare to transport Danny to the Ghost Zone to get to Frostbite as quickly as possible, Tucker breaks through the firewalls around the city long enough to open a window for the previous live videos to flood the internet and to send out a single message to the last hope they have of their friend being safe from those who want to destroy him utterly and completely.

They contact the Justice League.

Another Danny Phantom and DC/Batman crossover idea...

The Infinite Realms exist in practically all times and spaces, as the in-between plane. This results in things like ghosts from an alternate present or an alternate history or even from the future popping up but keeping those somewhat ordered is under Clockwork's domain. But there are exceptions.

When Danny was made High King of the Infinite Realms, there was a need for a personal knight. Fright Knight remains on retinue but as he was first and foremost the Spirit of Halloween, he can't pull double duty. But in his search for a squire to raise into a proper knight, he found an unusual spirit.

He fulfilled plenty of qualities the knight know would gain the young high king's approval. Vigilante with a strong sense of justice, the skills necessary for the role though his desire to use guns irks the knight's desire for traditional sword and shield, and even the sensation of being a halfa or at least the potential to be one. And so he took him in and trained him and soon presented his squire as a candidate for the position.

The high king accepted, mostly out of wanting to complete the paperwork, but also because their personalities meshed well, bantering together in the process, becoming part of the high king's council circle.

Unfortunately, after some time under the high king's service, the young knight commited an act of treason despite the high king's mercy. Under the guise of fun, the young knight put on the high king's Ring of Rage with permission, joking about it being a lantern ring before vanishing.

To say that the young high king was in shock was to say it mildly, exploring the Infinite Realms to find the missing knight. Fright Knight went on a quest to find his errant squire and return the Ring of Rage before it fell into the wrong hands, and perhaps punish his one time squire for treason.

But time is relative, especially so in the Infinite Realms and especially between dimensions.

And the young knight gained some more years in his return until crowning of the High King of the Infinite Realms in the mortal world's time...

Birthday Wish

(It's my b-day so I decided to do angst!)

"Happy Birthday to you~!"

"Thank you Jazz, I'm glad you could visit me all the way out here in Gotham."

"Of course Danny I may be dead now, but I will always be here when you need me."

Danny looked down at her, his form now taller than her, something he would have been very happy about many years ago before...

before that.

"What did you wish for Danny?"

"..For you to agree into being reincarnated."

"Danny."

"Please? As my birthday wish."

"..."

Just an Idea

Miscellaneous things from my “Danny Fenton is Thomas Wayne” au (a better au name to follow)

When Bruce was younger/learning to talk, he couldn’t pronounce his name correctly. When Danny was teaching him his name, he’d say “Booce” so Danny started call him “Boo” as a nickname. Danny still calls him “Boo” as his main nickname as Bruce gets older.

When Bruce was a little older, Danny would take him out to the balcony or sneak him up to the rooftop so that they could look at the stars together. Danny told Bruce that if he ever felt alone and Danny wasn’t there to be with him, just look at the stars, Danny will always be with him.

Danny likes making things. He’s a tech whizz like Tucker and the two of them love to create ideas together and try and make them. After he gets adopted, Danny has a lot more access to making gadgets and gizmos. He doesn’t really sell them unless he thinks they’ll help the world be better, or because its harmless.

When Danny was adopted, he didn’t tell his friends until the Waynes asked what he wanted to do to ‘debut’ himself. (They figured that the world and press would find out about him eventually, might as well make an impression) And Danny thought, regrettably, that some sort of party would be best for him to make connections. So the Waynes taught Danny etiquette and other stuff that would help him, and then sent the invitations out.

He asked them to invite the Mansons, so they did. Then texted Sam about it and asked her to attend, and possibly bring Tucker if she could. Safe to say the day of the party, when Danny got introduced, he could feel Sam glaring holes into his head. It was totally worth it. (Bruce was being taken care of back home, which Danny fretted about the entire time. He kept having to convince himself not to leave early.) He was sorely tempted to invite Vlad to see his face.

Speaking of Vlad, he has no idea that Danny changed his name. He didn’t think Danny would do that, he just thought he ran away or left town. And its not like any of his friends would tell Vlad. He doesn’t know that Danny’s changed his name until the headlines about the new Wayne Heir come out.

After Danny was adopted, he started self-teaching himself business and other stuff that would help him learn how to run Wayne Industries. He did it in secret so that he could surprise his new parents.

Also about Martha — I’m not making Sam the Martha Wayne equivalent. Amethyst Ocean really isn’t my thing, so Martha Wayne is either going to be a separate character that Danny genuinely falls in love with. OR Danny’s just gonna remain a single dad.

Danny has somewhat retired ‘Phantom’ / his ghost form. Or at least he doesn’t transform into a ghost quite as often. Mainly because there’s no reason to, and also because Gotham doesn’t have nearly enough ambient ectoplasm to sustain Danny like in Amity. The only times he transforms is to have late night flights.

Sam and Tucker don’t call Danny by ‘Danny’, they call him Thomas or Tom. Tucker sometimes jokingly calls him Tommy.

More miscellaneous stuff to come lmfao

Taglist(?)

@blankliferain idk if this is what you meant by tag you but you didn’t specify if you wanted to be tagged for a fic or a post so I figured it wouldn’t hurt

@storm-and-fire same as above it might not be a fic but its a more info on the au?

I'm not a huge fan of ghost king Danny BUT,

Danny's old. He's nearing 115 and most of his friends have passed on and become ghosts. He's aged some, but not nearly as a much as his should have. The observants are getting restless. They know the ghost zone needs a new king, but have been putting it off so it will not be one of the living. They're finally accepting that there is no other choice. On the hundred year anniversary of Pariah Dark's defeat. The observants go to Danny and inform of his new status, that he will be the ghost zone's new High King.

Danny promptly dies of a heart attack.

#danny phantom #danny fenton #sam and tucker are laughing their asses off in the ghost zone #they give him shit all through his coronation #hes survived invasions the guys in white high school #but the shock of being ghost king is what finally did him in #he's never afterliving it down

The Heart of the Matter Ch.2 (part 4)

@kyrianclawraith, @jesimilu, @bleuyellow93, @ocearnawrites, @undead-essence, @violet-catsarelife, @sunsetdew0101, @tsukihimeyfan, @the-legal-shipper

***

All ghostkind speaks of Pariah Dark in hushed whispers.

He is formally titled the King of All Ghosts or High King of the Infinite Realms.

His subjects have different titles for him.

The Tyrant King, they call him.

Core-crusher.

Thrall-keeper.

The last title manages to be the most horrifying of them all.

A skeletal army stands at his beck-and-call, unable to do anything else.

They weren’t always skeletons.

A few millennia into his reign, he discovered something new to do with his enemies.

Instead of crushing their cores, he took to changing them.

Binding them.

Controlling them.

He reduced thousands to will-less slaves who could do naught but scream inside their own minds while their bodies obeyed his slightest whim.

To fall in battle against Pariah Dark was to lose one’s very form, to lose one’s freewill.

A fate worse than destruction.

And when the Tyrant King is finally sealed away by the Ancients, ghostkind rejoices.

Nature abhors a vacuum.

The position of High King of the Infinite Realms is necessary, and not just to keep order among the various afterlives that exist therein - though that is incredibly important.

Beyond even that, the High King is the humming core of the zone itself, maintaining the veil between realms and ensuring the safety of both worlds.

Ghosts are meant to pass into the land of the dead, some souls must return to the land of the living, the cycle marches on.

Doors must open, but they must also close.

The living and the dead are meant to remain separate.

Pariah Dark lay sleeping in his sarcophagus.

Nature abhors a vacuum.

The crown has only passed down twice, both times by combat.

Legend has it that the first High King was the will of the zone given form.

It never sought to rule, a simple little thing that flitted about closing stable portals down, opening temporary portals for new ghosts, and shepherding fading spirits to the Zone’s heart for their soon-to-be return to the cycle.

Always with the same emotionless expression.

Ghosts sought it out for access to the human realm - which it sometimes granted - or as a third-party in disputes - but it did not speak.

Already, war and chaos had crept into the once-peaceful realm. As the number of dead increased, so too did the infighting.

Friendly combat was one thing - being dead, there was little true harm that could befall them - but things escalated far beyond that point as the collective beliefs of the living bloomed gods and devils into existence, all howling after whatever power they could obtain and more often than not butting heads in the process.

Not that the ghosts of the dead hadn’t already begun seeking that same kind of power for themselves, but the added structural divisions only managed to escalate hostilities.

The second king was one of the first sapient beings to die, and had been dead long enough to see those first peaceful centuries.

He wept at its loss, at the blooming rot of terror and violence.

And when he heard of the ghost referred to as High King only half in jest? He sought it out.

Many had challenged the being before, seeking to subjugate it for on-demand access to the living world or simply to claim the title of High King formally for themselves.

All of them failed.

The to-be second High King did not.

When he looked upon the first and its title he saw more than the potential for power.

He saw the potential for peace.

He could become that mediator that was so badly needed and keep the zone stable all at once.

He rallied his once-fading will, trained his power, and sought the being out.

And so the second High King fought the first and claimed his victory. But there was no core to be found when he reached into his enemies’ chest.

It is said that the moment the second High King drove his hand into the chest of the first, the being’s expression changed for the first and final time: it smiled.

Then, in a flash of light, the being was gone, a crown bathed in green fire floating in its place above the new king’s hand and flooding him with power he’d never imagined.

The second High King of the Infinite Realms brought about the return of the peace he had so sorely missed, bringing stability to the land of the dead.

The title itself became formal and true; countless kings of countless factions challenged his powers and his claim, and countless kings bent the knee.

Some tried to steal the newly named Crown of Fire, but it never changed the outcome and it always returned itself to float above the High King’s head.

They could have their factions, but fighting decreased with the newly available mediation option - and the fact that the new king would put an end to fights and mediate them anyway, less favorably for those who started it since they didn’t seek his council of their own volition.

Nothing lasts forever.

A member of an ancient race on a planet called Aik’lan dies and becomes a ghost named Pariah Dark.

He is dead for barely more than a century when he grinds the second king’s core to dust between his hands.

When he places the Crown of Fire on his own head, it stays.

He is power-hungry. The land of the dead alone does not satisfy him. He hungers to return to the land of the living as a conqueror, to become the ruler of All Things.

He starts as a tyrant and a core-crusher.

He only grows worse with time.

The second king’s right hand ghost swore loyalty to the crown, but one can only tolerate so much. They finally lash out, enraged, when Pariah attacks the last king’s closest friend.

Pariah has done enough research by now; he rips their core from their chest and mounts them on a ring that feeds the would-be usurper's power straight to him in a sick perversion of the first king's legacy.

It is eventually named the Ring of Rage, for the constant, spitting fury that leaches into the air around it whenever it lies on the High King’s finger (always).

Pariah’s rule is as dark as his namesake.

The Ancients lock him away as a group, and the crown refuses to remain outside of the sarcophagus.

The crown is passed down by combat.

There is no High King.

Nature abhors a vacuum.

No one saw Pariah coming.

Not even Clockwork - so young, then - lost as he was in admiring all the different paths reality could take, missing the poison at the river’s source in favor of all the lush, winding branches.

He could have swam upstream, of course - when he finally noticed the change in kings and the monstrousness of the new one - could have changed the past to save the future.

But the second king only ever gave him a single order.

“Never interfere with that which has come to pass, Clockwork. Learn from it, but look only to the future, and make your mark on the world that will be rather than the world that was, lest you drive yourself mad in pursuit of an imagined perfection and grind the world to a standstill.”

He held those words close to his core as he watched Pariah Dark’s past, present, and - most importantly - his future.

Clockwork reaches out to the other ancients, and Pariah Dark is locked away.

He is not defeated.

The High King sleeps, and the Infinite Realms turn on without him.

But Nature abhors a vacuum.

The Observants were originally historians, marking time as it passed them by.

When Pariah Dark is sealed away they turn their many eyes to the future.

Clockwork sees too much, they agree. He is too unfocused.

Let him lose himself in his possibilities; they will be there to watch what shall be and to rouse him from his wanderings when he is needed to avoid that which should not be.

It doesn’t take long for the Observants to develop a taste for power.

In the absence of a high king, lower-kings and faction leaders seek out the Observants for mediation - after all, what better stand-in than the council that even an Ancient would obey?

The Observants grow used to control.

It isn’t difficult to hide their own actions when they make so obvious their refusal to act.

They mediate discussions, yes. They observe.

But whenever something requires action, they always seek out Clockwork.

No one suspects the growing collection of dormant cores hidden away in their shared lair. Their dissenters disappear - for all anyone knows they just got sick of arguing and went back to their lairs.

A small abuse of their future knowledge has dissenters-to-be taken out before they can appear.

By the time Clockwork discovers their actions they have him trapped in a web of contracts he can’t escape without ending up as another dormant core in their collection.

He spends the next hundred thousand subjective years reviewing as far into the most likely futures as he can, sick of being blindsided with nightmarish outcomes that he failed to anticipate and determined to find every crack in the collar he unthinkingly wrapped around his own throat.

The Observants find a possible future that ends in their cores being crushed not a thousand years out - their little collection won’t stay hidden forever if it stays in their lair. They need somewhere to put it.

Then they remember the Oan.

A living species had once found its way into the land of the dead.

The Oan, they’d called themselves: a species seeking to create an interstellar peacekeeping organization to manage their ever-growing universe.

They’d been seeking an energy source for the framework they’d made - which unfortunately demanded more resources to power than they were capable of providing.

They had sought to bargain with Pariah Dark, hearing tell of his crown and ring after a short time in the Zone, and too blinded by the potential to acknowledge the horror inherent in the tales.

Pariah Dark is not a bargaining kind of ghost. He is a possessive one.

He could not deny how useful having a group of combatants in the living world would be, but why bother bargaining when they needed him and he did not truly need them? What did they have that he wanted?

He would give them their power source in exchange for absolute obedience, signed away and promised in the form of gifting him their souls.

He would accept nothing less than complete and utter servitude.

But the Oan sought peace, and Pariah Dark’s warfaring ways were made clear in short order.

Of the five Oan that entered the land of the dead, only one left.

Pariah Dark butchered four of the Oan down to their very just-forming cores and allowed the last to flee with their injuries.

Let the Oan learn to fear and respect The King of All Ghosts, a being able to kill that which cannot be killed.

The Observants have a taste for power, but they are willing to make compromises - both to hide their indiscretions and to obtain a foothold in the human world.

The Observants use their collective power to reverse-summon one of themselves to where the Oans had first entered the Zone from, bearing news of Pariah Dark’s defeat and an offer of peace and alliance.

The Oans, still unsuccessfully hunting for either a power source or a successful alternative, take the news of their species’ personal boogeyman with relief and the offer of alliance and energy with glee.

The Oans get their peacekeepers, the Observants get a foothold in the living world, and the collection of cores disappears from the Observants’ lair.

3 billion years later, Pariah Dark is freed from his slumber to wreak havoc on the Ghost Zone and the human world.

Danny Phantom’s allies stand against Pariah Dark’s reawakened thrall army, and Phantom stands alone against the Ghost King.

Pariah Dark formally accepts the challenge - he and his crown and ring against Phantom and his little suit.

Pride cometh before the fall, and fall Pariah does - right back into his slumber.

Phantom alone forces Pariah Dark back into the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep and holds it shut long enough for one of his own to lock it shut - as much as he will hate that Vlad was considered anything of his, even for the purposes of a fight (though he’ll find it funny that Vlad is painted as a pawn in the battle despite him considering Danny to be one at the time).

The crown does not go to him.

A child-ghost has never defeated a king before. When nothing happens they think, perhaps, it didn’t count.

The High King still sleeps in his sarcophagus, they assume.

But the crown does not go to the sarcophagus either, unmoving. Waiting.

Clockwork waits.

Danny Phantom’s core reaches maturity the day after he turns 18, on the fourth anniversary of his death.

Nearby ghosts watch in shock as the Crown of Fire races through the Zone.

It ends its merry flight atop Danny Fenton’s head, arriving at the exact second of his death, crown passed for the third time.

Danny Phantom is crowned High King of the Infinite Realms at age 18 and formally coronated two months later.

The Observants drown him in backlogged paperwork to hide their indiscretions.

Clockwork is unable to speak on the matter without an inciting incident or a direct question, bound as he is.

Two years later Hal Jordan locks eyes with Jason Todd, and Clockwork smiles and requests an audience with The Ghost King.
