Hey y’all. Sorry for the wait!
I’ve gotten some questions from readers a bit confused by some things. Don’t worry, you didn’t miss anything, it’s just not there. On purpose. This is almost the final chapter of the story itself. We will get some of these questions answered now, some in the last chapter and epilogue...like:
- Why are Vlad and Danny different ages if Oidhche and Nikikou died at the same time?
- Why was Sylphine so mean to Vlad and how exactly did she help Danny?; Why did she let them both go bat shit crazy?
- What up with their weapons?
- Who the fuck is Chainey and where has he been all this time? (This answer actually fits the cartoon oddly enough)
- What happened to Sylphine?
- Ebedi erased everyone’s memories except Team Phantom and Valerie. What about his Mages? What now that the Cube of All is complete?
There will be an epilogue that leads into the sequel Parallels.
Staind’s So Far Away gets us going. Let’s go!

Chapter 15
So Far Away
Now that we're here,
It's so far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
All in the mistakes,
One life contained
They all finally start to go away
Now that we're here it's so far away
And I feel like I can face the day, and I can forgive
And I'm not ashamed to be the person that I am today
“Okay...” Valerie looked about the basement lab with a mix of awe and disgust. “Now what?”
The Fentons were far from neat. The tables and counter space were covered in half finished experiments, notes and various other debris. Including a plate of fudge wayyy past it’s prime. But what was complete was the very high tech gear that she had seen the Fentons, Phantom; Tucker and Sam using on a regular basis.
In a back corner, a bunch of weapons she had never seen them use before rested in a glass case. There was red tape reading CAUTION! USE AT OWN RISK! wraped in an X across the front. All were marked with the FentonWorks logo like normal but just under that was a symbol that kinda reminded her of an O that was open at the bottom and had feet. There was a red circle and line through the symbol.
Anti-omega weapons.
She had heard of them while spying on the Goons in White a year ago. Supposedly, ghosts like Phantom were too powerful to be destroyed by normal ectoplasmic weapons. She never really paid the technobabble any attention but she did know that the means to power such devices was so unstable that there was a 50/50 shot of blowing oneself and a 3 mile wide radius to hell as well as the target when fired. They were to be used under Omega Level Attack Protocol only. It always bothered her that ‘Omega Level Attack Protocol’ never included evacuating citizens. They were to be considered collateral damage. Bastards.
“Well, I think we’re supposed to go into the Zone.” Tucker stared at the portal doors. “We still don’t know where Danny is or if he’s okay.
On cue, the portal doors were thrown open and all four of them were sucked inside. After and eternity, they landed in a heap on a polished stone floor.
“Why am I always on the bottom?” Tucker groaned. Once again he found himself getting up unaided. No love at all for the techno whiz--
“Hi guys!” A very chipper, very young voice rang out and the group did a double take.
Standing before them in a white toga like outfit and barefoot was what they could only describe as a mini Danny Phantom. His white hair was down his back and the entirety of both eyes were a deep emerald green. He smiled at them as they gawked back.
“D-danny?!” Jazz exclaimed.
“Yeah?” He blinked up at her confused by her reaction. His attention turned to the second child partially hidden behind a pillar. Blue tinge, blood red eyes and long black hair. One guess.
Mini-Danny ran up to the hiding child and gently pulled him closer to the teens. He appeared to be voicing his protest but the other child paid no mind.
“It’s okay.” The tan boy smiled at him and pulled him closer.
“But what if they hate me? I was so mean to them.” he mumbled not meeting their gazes. The floor was far more interesting to him. His pale blue face burned with a deep crimson blush. He knew they had figured out who he had been by their expressions. He felt terrible about who he had been before.
“That wasn’t you. The crystal hurt you and made you bad. It’s gone so now everything is okay.” The other child spoke as if reading his twin’s mind. Mini-Danny turned to the human quartet and grinned like a loon. “I’m Nikkou. This is my twin brother Oidhche. We used to be Danny Fenton and Vlad Masters. Then Father woke up and he fixed everything.” Mini-Phantom spoke as if it were the most normal thing in the world. Oidhche was still still trying to figure out how to just melt into the background.
“Hi.” He mumbled shyly before slipping his hand away from his brother and vanishing in a pink flash. Nikkou, Danny...who ever the little boy with snowy hair was, shook his head.
“Used to be?” Sam’s heart sank. One of her best friends used to be...what? This little boy wasn’t a ghost and he damn sure wasn’t human. Same with his brother. So...
“Time out!” Seems it was Valerie’s turn to have a mental fit. She waved her arms around as she began to rant. “What the hell?! My day started out awesome! I aced a history test, I got a text that my prick boss got fired this morning. I even found 5 bucks in the parking lot. Then the school is on lockdown and creepy people herd us around like cattle and I almost get killed. But wait! My hero is a Lucky Charms mascot reject that kidnaps me and drags me to see Masters who I also found out is a monster in disguise. Crazy Irish guy then drops me in crazytown and I find out one of the sweetest people I know is the jerk I’ve been trying to waste for almost two years. To set him free and save the fucking world, we have to break a magic mirror with our feelings of all things. Then I get dragged into this freakshow world and now you say you're Danny? Seriously, how old are you?! 8?!”
“Age is such a relative thing, as is time in general Ms. Grey. Do you feel better now that you let all of that out?” An amused chuckle caused the gang to look left.
“Hello Father.” Nikkou smiled.
Standing by the observation orb was a tall man dressed in white robes. The robes were adorned with intricate black and gold stitches that reminded them of the night sky through a powerful telescope. His eyes were like a clear night sky flecked with stars, pale skin that glowed against the robe.
“Um...” Tucker blinked.
“Ah yes. Two of you know me in the form of my bondage.” The image of the purple clad time spectre he once was superimposed over him. Jasmine, Valerie I was once known as Clockwork, Keeper of Time. To all of you, my true name is Ebedi, Guardian of Reality. I should like to tell you all a story. Please sit.”
Four chairs appeared and the teens cautiously obliged. Nikkou merely hopped into the air crossing his legs. And simply remained hovering in the lotus position. Sam and Tucker couldn’t process this. Their best bud was now a child. A child that had a strange aura about him. A child that had called Clock--Ebedi ‘father’ with such warmth in his voice. They saw that Jazz was on the verge of tears. She was probably terrified that she was losing her brother. Valerie’s expression told them the answer to the regal man’s previous question was ‘hell no’.
“The universe as you know it has not always been. Your teachers will tell you that it came into being after a singularity expanded violently. In fact it is not far from the truth. This realm, the Ghost Zone as it has been dubbed, was once the domain in which I resided eons ago. You were correct in assuming it is the ‘flipside’ of your planet. However, it is actually the counterpart to all of the universe. What you have explored is but a fraction of it.” Ebedi sighed at their expressions. Confusion played across each face. “ What that means is I have always been. This realm has always been. But the universe itself was created when I set the expansion in motion. As time passed, the beginnings of stars, planets and the multitude of objects that hang in the night sky formed. There was much to attend to in order to insure it did not stagnate. Progress requires change but the task of monitoring such progress was, I must confess, tedious. So, I created the beings known as Observants. As their name implies, they acted as watchers, seeing how the universe progressed.” The observation globe morphed into a mirror that seemed to stretch on forever. It reflected the Guardian setting the physical plane in motion merely by waving the staff he led. Then his manipulation of left over energy to create the first of many of the beings that would later make his life hell.
“So we exist cuz you got bored one day. Then you got lazy and lost interest. Sounds like the Christian God to me.” Sam snarked and Valerie looked at her as if she had grown another head. How smart was it to antagonized the guy who created the universe?!
Wait, he’s God? It did make sense if he created everything...
“I assure you Ms. Grey, Ms. Manson, I am not the deity spoken of in the Christian bible. Nor am I of any other faith. They came into being after my imprisonment. But we are getting ahead of ourselves. As the observants did their duty, I noticed that I was rather lonely. My creations were sentient but not in the way I desired. Next I created my beloved sons. Nikkou here to be the living manifestation of what Chinese philosophers would later call Yin. His brother, the opposite Yang. Neither is pure good or evil as I sense your thoughts are proceeding down that path. Good and Evil are merely constructs of intellect. Yin and Yang are merely the antithesis of one another. Neither can exist without the other. How can one know what ligh is if it has never been dark? Or vice versa?" Ebedi waved his staff and the timid mini-Plasmius shimmered into existence beside his brother.
"Eek!" The squeak he made was to manly what night was to day. His first instinct was to hide from their gazes behind his father's robes. The pale man chuckled at his son's reaction before gently leading him by the arm to stand in front of him.
"I my haste to educate and nurture Oidhche and Nikkou I failed to realize my Observants had grown jealous and hateful of them. I had given the twins the means to interact not just observe the universe. They could influence the development of planets, the death of stars. The chief Observants Gozlemek and Kayit saw only that the twins held no regard for life or order. That I allowed them to create and destroy on a whim without repercussion. They couldn't understand that the chaos the twins created encouraged the natural progression of thing otherwise no change or evolution could come about.
So knowing they couldn't destroy these agents of chaos fully, they trapped them and myself. This was done by stealing, shattering and casting the pieces of this cube to the depths of the cosmos, save two. I had not anticipated that I would be weakened for so long after their creation. Nor did I expect my servants to betray me.” The Cube of All flashed a deep angry red atop his staff. A clear sign that he was barely containing eons of rage. “I watched helplessly as my dearest children were murdered savagely. Gozlemek and Kayit forced the remaining pieces of the cube into their bodies, ensuring that they would be lost in an endless cycle of rebirth instead of returning to their true home.
My power severly weakened, I was forced to become a slave to my own creations; my memories erased. Told that it was they who made me for the sole purpose of maintaining time’s flow. And for millions of years, this was the case. I served them well, unaware of just how backwards and dire the situation truly was.”
“That’s horrible! Oh, I didn’t mean to interrupt!” Jazz covered her mouth, a sheepish expression in her face. A gentle smile was his reply.
“it’s quite alright my dear. Things began to change when mankind arose on Earth. The Observants took what I believed to be an unusual interest in the young world when there were so many that had long since developed civilizations across the universe. Only recently did I learn why.”
*Flashback (several)*
“AAAIIIEEE!” A shriek shook the Clocktower followed closely by a speeding streak of golden light. The comet like object rocketed overhead as the Observants looked up. It seemed that it was going to pass by before abruptly dropping out of its arc and landing inches from the two.
“No!” Kayit exclaimed when the glow faded. The projectile had been a very lovely young woman who now lay unconscious in the small crater caused by her fall. A mass of long coal black hair splayed across the damaged floor beneath her and partially covered her pixy frame. Her skin was the color of shea nut shells, a rich light brown. Her lips dusty pink in color were parted in a pained expression. She was wearing the same type of robe as the two little abominations they had dealt with so long before. Though she was...much older in appearance. A human teenager by his estimate.
“How can another be born? Ebedi is our puppet now!” Gozlemeck shouted, jestering flippantly at the new arrival..
“We must get rid of her lest she undo everything. We’ve done it before.” Kayit snarled.
“I’m not knocked out you rubes.” She mumbled before rolling onto her stomach and shakily getting to her knees. Golden eyes glared at them through the cascade of hair.
“Begone from here, whatever you are.” The two boomed at her as she stood up.
“Pfft. Two walking eyeballs ordering a Chaos Mage around? Are you feeling brave or have you gone out of your mind? Where is your Guardian?” The young girl narrowed her eyes before widening them in shock. “So I have you to thank for this sudden change of venue.You ripped me away from those I love.”
“Such lies. Leave here and return from whence you came girl.” She had no idea which one spoke seeing as they had no mouths. Due to the lack of an echo though, she knew only one had said something.
“First of all, my name is Sylphine, Empress of the Immortal Dawn. Second, you should have thought about that before you upset the balance of your own world, and forcing me to fix it. Don’t bother to deny it the very atmosphere of this place is tainted with betrayal and the beginnings of ruin!” She placed her hands on her hips looking nothing like a majestic goddess and everything like a pissed off high school girl. After a moment of thought, a sinister smirk crept across her lips. “And I will enjoy undoing what you have done, watching your plans unravel and laughing at your misery as you fear your fate.”
“The time it would take to do anything of the sort is too great girl. You haven’t the ability.” Once again she had no idea which one spoke. It did not matter for in an instant, she was surrounded by a purple dome. She quirked an eyebrow at the force field meant to deter her before giggling like a small child.
“Oh you know nothing of my abilities. You can’t cage the wind.” Sylphine waved her hand and the prison exploded violently, showering the two of them with it’s remains. “And what is time to an immortal? Be seeing you.”
*The scene fades to another. The same girl is walking with Vlad Masters on the campus of Wisconsin U. She is laughing and smiling at a very innocent looking version of him.*
“I’m so over this chemistry junk. Like what’s an art major need with it anyways?” She twirled her straight hair on her finger, loudly chewing her gum in valley girl fashion.
“Well Syl the board of education says you do if you want to graduate. I gotta get to class, see you Saturday. Don’t forget your notebook this time. We don’t take the same science classes.”
“Like, cheeyeah. But you totally, like, have to come with me to the mall Saturday evening . You’re a total Richie and you dress like a mondo Herb.” She blew a bubble.
“Not really a trendie Syl-”
“Like duh. But this is the last 4 years of freedom you’ll have before like the real world majorly turns your life into a dead dream-o-rama. You got like an okay bod, let’s show it off even just a scoche.” She giggled.
“Okay? Now I’m not sure if I should be flattered or insulted...fine.” He sighed and she stuck out her tongue at him.
“No fake? Outrageous! Like bring Jack-man and Mads too! Later days!” She dashed off in the opposite direction and disappeared behind a few trees before he lost sight of her. Once there she scowled. “I sounded like an idiot.”
“W’ll m’lady ya met yer goal ta get ‘em ta trust ya wit tha goofy speak.” A hearty laugh sounded from behind her. A tall red headed man materialized out of thin air.
“Shame I have to crush his spirit like this. Take everything away and give him a heart full of such hate and obsession. But it’s the only way to motivate him enough to search for the cube fragments. Once he has the power to do so of course.” She held out her hand and he placed a small doo-dad with a frayed wire in her palm. She rolled it around between her fingers before it burst into flames and the wind scattered to ashes. “He has an inkling of what’s to come from the dreams I’ve given him but this ‘accident’ will set things in motion. Sylphine Glenns will go missing tomorrow but Professor Doyle will stay on through the semester, won’t he?”
“‘Course m’lady, wouldn’t do ta cause su’picion in her dis’pearance. People talk donna they?” The man’s voice deepened and his loud hawaiian shirt and painter pants were replaced by a tweed suit. “I’m off, classes ta teach. 'plosions ta watch.”
*New scene. The Fenton Household circa mid-nineties. A punkish girl is standing with them in their living room*
“Don’t worry. I’m a pro with kids Mr. and Mrs. Fenton. Enjoy your night out.”
“Alright Sylphine. You know, you remind me of a girl I used to know in college. Same name and eyes but she just vanished one day...” Jack stared at her critically before Maddie handed him his coat.
“See you guys later.”
As soon as the door closed, 4 year old Danny and 6 year old Jazz stared at their new sitter. They vaguely wondered what had happened to Ms. Malone. But that was okay. She was closer to their age and she even brought them presents! A picture book about space for Danny and a plushie butterfly for Jazz.
“She can keep Bearbert company.” Sylphine whispered and Jazz’s face lit up in awe.
“Will you teach us to play checkers?” The little girl brought out the board and pieces while her brother climbed into a chair at the table.
“Of course. I promise, I’ll teach you lots of cool things.”

*I am a line break! Beware!**I am a line break! Beware!**I am a line break! Beware!*
Soo whadya think huh? More about Sylphine’s behind the scenes role to come as we begin to wrap everything up. I AM NOT DEAD! See ya’ll soon. Sirensoundwave out!
