Never Look a Ghost Horse in the Mouth
Prologue:
It was a normal day at Amity Park's Casper High School. Students, from freshman to seniors, all walking, talking and hanging out with friends, having lunch, even the occasional school bully shoving a nerd in his own locker. All was fair and all was peaceful, except for a selected few. Danny Fenton, and his 2 friends Sam Manson and Tucker Fowley had never seen a normal day. Not ever since Danny took a plunge in his parents ghost portal, and had his entire DNA and molecular structure fused with an ectoplasmic substance caused from the blast of the ghost portal that Danny switched on from the inside, which made him half human, half ghost. It also gave him a number of ghost powers like invisibility, flight, intangiblity, overshadowing and many more. Ever since Danny has had his ghost powers, ghost from this other world called the Ghost Zone has been escaping and causing havoc into their world, but Danny and his friends have always defeated every ghost that they have came across using cutting edge skill, intelligence, strength, and endurance, especially with the help of Danny's newly found ghost powers. After a few months, fighting ghost was an every day occurrence for Danny and his friends. Defeating box ghosts, lunch ladies, circus freaks controled by an envious ringleader that wanted to control all reality, and even other half-human, half-ghosts. In a sense, Danny and his friends have been there, and done that. That is, until one day, that Danny gets stuck in a strange place he would never imagine, desperately trying to find his way home.
It was a normal day at Capser High School for Danny Fenton: a brand new âFâ on his science test, second-to-last in the gym class footrace, and stuffed into a locker by the jocks on the football team. Rejected once again, with equal parts disgust and hilarity, by Paulina. Even the fight with the ghost was just another part of his everyday routine.
"Wahahahaaa! I am the box ghoooost!" cried the ghost, his face twisted with glee as he darted down the halls. His worn, vaguely translucent overalls fluttered in an unfelt breeze as he darted for cover, an irregular, fracture box clutched in his death-like grip. "Now and forever, the keeper of the all mighty and all powerful Pandora's Box!"
Just then, an ectoplasmic beam comes from the other ghost (or half-ghost) that's chasing him, it was Danny Fenton (or Danny Phantom). "Give it back box brain, you don't want to end up destroying the entire Ghost Zone with it." He shot another plasma beam at him, hiting him square in the back. (no pun intended)
Then, out of nowhere, a beam of plasma come out of nowhere and hits the box ghost, making him disappear in thin air, leaving Pandora's box to fall in the void of the Ghost Zone. Danny went to get the box, but was stopped short by something metal, while another entity went and grabbed the box.
The metal object and ghost entity came back together, "Excellent work Skulker, as usual." said a rather elegant sounding man.
"As to you as well, master Vladimir." Said the metal object. Yes, Vlad and Skulker, yet again, causing trouble, not only in the real world, but the Ghost Zone too. Skulker, looking the same as always, and Vlad, while holding Pandora's Box, is also hold something else on his shoulder.
As Danny took time to absorbed what they were doing, he took flight, and flew twords them, then stops at a distance from them. "I should have figured you would have Skulker brown-nosing for you as always." Looking at the box, then looking at the big, metal, cylinder object on Vlad's shoulder. "What happened to the box ghost, and what the heck is that on your shoulder?"
Within a split second, Vlad sends out his clones to grab him in his place as Danny tries to struggle out. "All excellent questions my dear boy." Vlad said with a smirk. "You see, what I have on my shoulder is what is essentially a portable Ghost Zone/real world portal gun that my colleague here designed." pointing to Skulker. "We used this to go in and out of the Ghost Zone and the real world, and also send other ghosts to the real world to cause chaos." Showing Danny a time frame of what Vlad and Skulker have been doing with the the portal gun for the past few hours while Danny was chasing the box ghost. "We initially wanted you're cat and mouse game with the box ghost to continue to the real world, but I didn't set the gun to the "Real World" switch."
Skulker jumps in and adds: "We think what might have happened is that by shooting a Ghost Zone portal in the Ghost Zone triggers a multi-dimensional warp that might send subjects who is hit with this portal to go to another dimension."
Vlad jumps back in. "Exactly." He turns to Skulker and hands him Pandora's Box. "Will you take this and put this back where it belongs? I can handle him myself."
"Yes sir." said Skulker as he flown away, leaving only Danny, Vald, and his clones. Danny still struggles to break free, but ultimately ends up nowhere.
Danny begins to ask. "So let me get this straight, you and Skulker invent a portal gun that transports you to Ghost Zone to the real world and vice versa. You wanted to have fun with me and the box ghost, but ultimately banishing him to another dimension."
"Correct my dear boy." Vald answered with a sinister grin.
Danny continued. "So what did it have to do with Pandora's Box?" curious, seeing how they sent the box ghost where noone can find him anymore.
"It didn't." Vlad said as he begins to explain. "But, put it this way. You're pinned down by my clones, and I have a gun that can send subjects to a whole nother dimension." He pointed the portal gun at Danny. "Are you starting to get the picture?"
Somehow, Danny didn't looked shocked, he looked as determined as ever. Did he think Vlad was bluffing? "I get the picture alright, the question is, where are you taking me?
"I honestly have no idea." Vlad said with a sheepish grin. The gun starts powering up, ready to shoot another multi-dimensional portal at Danny. "All I know is that you will no longer exist in this world anymore." Vlad then shoots a pink plasma beam at Danny, and at the blink of an eye, the ghost boy, and protector of all ghosts in the real world, was gone, and nowhere to be found. "Au do Voir, ghost boy." he said sinister-like, then follows a meniacle laugh all the way from a distance.
"Gaaaaaah" screamed the ghost boy as he falls from the sky from a portal that his arch-nemesis Vlad created that made him teleport to this somewhat calm, peaceful, elegant dimension that noone knew existed, kind of. "Oof!" He lands in some apple tree forest, still in ghost form, but tries to recollect himself. "Uugh! Where am I?" He noticed that everything was much more colorful and vibrant than his dimension. He then tries to get up on his four hooves, his mane in the way of his eyes and his wings a little sore from hitting the trees....wait....
Then, out in the distance he hears. "YEEEEHAAAAWWW!!" Danny then hides in the ground, hopefully noone seeing him. He then sees two horse like figures, no, they were ponies. One was a orange coated mare with golden blonde mane and tail, and the other was a more bulkier, red coated stallion with a more dirtier blonde mane and tail. "C'mon Big Macintosh, time to get to bucking these red deliciouses out of these trees!" said the over excited orange pony.
"Eeeyup." said the more mellow and just as confident red pony. As they started to buck the apples out of the apple trees, Danny took the time to observe them both from the ground.
"Ponies, huh?" Danny said curiously, relieved that he didn't get sent off to a dimension where giant monsters ate everything. In here, it was colorful and nice. "At least there aren't any ghosts here."Almost on cue, a few ghost monsters emerged from the portal that Danny came from and immediately starts trouble, starting with the two ponies right below them. "Oh no, why here? Why now?" Danny then emurged from the ground, flew in the air with his wings, and starts to take action on the ghost that was about to harm the two ponies. He stopped right in front of the ghosts as the two ponies can see him clearly hovering in the air. "Hey, how about you stop messing with them and go back to where you came from?
"Und vhy should ve visten to you, po..." said one of the vulture ghosts he met back in Wisconsin in Vlad's place as he paused recognizing his color scheme. "Vait! Your ze ghost voy!"
"Bingo!" said Danny as he shot out a plasma out of one of his hooves and hit the vulture on the left. "And I'm going to suggest you leave these two ponies alone, or you're gonna regret it." he threatened the three ghosts.
"Vine! Vut don't zink your safe, cuz master Vladimir has everthing vlanned ver your zemize!" The three ghosts then flew back into the portal where they came from.
As he floated back down, he thought about what the vultures said to him, and as he ponder, he now notices something was different about him, he had a tan coat with his suit still on. He had a streak white mane that covered some of his new floppy ears and the same color tail, both with the similar hair style that he had when he was a human. He also had wings that was used for his flight, and on further investigation, he had a black mark on his flank that was the same DP mark on his suit. He then realized that he was now turned into a pony himself.
"Thank ya kindly fer saving us from those green, scary things in the air!" Yelled the orange pony from a short distance. Danny realized that he had been caught, and flown twords the two ponies. "I've never seen you around before, are you new here?"
"Well, you could say that." Said Danny going out of ghost mode. The orange and red pony flinched as they watched. Going back into his human...er...pony form, his wings disappear, his streak white mane and tail turns jet black, and his flank mark turns white, but his coat still stays the same, now not having his ghost suit on.
"How in the hay are you doing these things?" said the curious orange pony.
"What things?" said Danny, curious on what she meant by that question.
"Those beams, and transformin and whatnot. Yer not a unicorn, so that means you can't do magic." said the orange pony observing him. "But I could have also sworn that you were a pegasus pony."
"AppleJack!" said the red stallion to the orange pony.
"Yes Big Mac?" replied the orange pony.
"Ah don't think you should be pesterin him after he just saved our lives from somethin we don't know about. Ah say we should get him properly acquainted before we ask em big questions." suggested the big, red pony to the orange pony.
"Ah guess yer right." said the orange pony, turning back to Danny. "Y'all wanna come back to our cottage to have dinner with the family?"
His stomach starts to growl. "That would sound nice right about now." said Danny smiling.
After a few minuets of trotting around the apple orchard, they finally head back to their cottage where they stay at. Danny had gotten used to walking on four legs surprisingly quickly, maybe it was just implemented in his brain somehow when he dropped into this other, unfamiliar dimension. They all sat down to have their normal dinner of salad from freshly grown lettuce and other veggies, hay and oats. Danny has also noticed two more distinctive ponies in the house as well. An old one and a very young one. He sat down with the other four ponies at the dinner table and ate what his normal teenage metabolism back at home would not normally tell him to eat, but something about this dimension made him want to eat healthier.
"Alright." the orange pony started. "Allow me to introduce ourselves. Mah names Applejack. Dis big feller right here is Big Macintosh, the little one is Applebloom, and the one who made dis here dinner possible is our one and only Granny Smith."
"It's very nice to meet you all." Danny said, starting to introduce himself. "My name is Danny Fenton, and, I'm actually not from here."
"Yer new here in Ponyville?" Applebloom said. "Where did you come from? Fillydelphia? Trottingham? Detrot?"
"Applebloom, that's enough! Let him explain his story." Applejack said to Applebloom as she pouted at Applejack's remark.
"That's ok." Danny continued. "Actually, I'm not from this world you live in."
"No kiddin?" Applebloom interrupted.
"APPLEBLOOM! You do not interrupt our guests!" Applejack shout at Applebloom's rude behavior.
"It's alright, Anyways." Danny continued. "I come from a place really different from this. We usually walk on two legs, and we eat meat." Danny said as Applejacks eyes were fixed directly on his. "In my world, humans ruled the earth, and what you saw flying in the air were ghosts."
"Ghosts!?!" Applejack said, shaking at the thought about such things, especially if they had come from the Everfree Forest.
"Yeah." Danny continued. "And we humans seek to fight off these ghosts to stop them from wreaking havoc." Danny continued to explain the ways humans lived and how they run the world, then it comes to how he can do all those things he can do to fight these ghosts. "A long time ago, My parents invented this portal that would let us go into the world of these ghosts called the Ghost Zone. It didn't quite work as they planned, so I went inside to see what was wrong, then all of a sudden I was blasted by this ectoplasmic energy that altered my DNA and gave me ghost powers. That's why I was able to transform, because half of me is ghost."
Applejack, having a confused look on her face. "Ecto-wah and DNA-wah? All that sciencey mumbo-jumbo doesn't comprehend with mah brain."
Big Mac jumps in. "Ah think what he means is that because of a freak accident, he now has these powers."
"That's nothing like what we have here." Applejack stated. "The only ponies here with all the powers is the unicorns and the princesses, and they were born with it."
"Princesses? Unicorns?" Danny questioned.
"In our world," Applejack started to explain. "We have four species of ponies: There are Earth ponies which we here are. Unicorns, which they have an affiliation with magic, which they use their horns for. Pegasai have the ability of flight and use their wings accordingly. Finally, you have the Alicorns, which only our two princesses are in this world."
"Who are these two princesses?" Danny asked curiously.
"Their names are Princess Celestia and Princess Luna." Applejack answered. "Princess Celestia every day gives us the sun that keeps us warm and grow our plants and trees, while Princess Luna gives us the beautiful night sky with all the vibrant stars and bright, round moon."
'Sounds like a religious factor more than an actual real act of an every day thing someone does, unless they have god powers.' Danny thought. 'But then again, I am in another dimesion'.
"One of mah friends," Applejack continued "Twilight, she has a strong connection with Princess Celestia. She writes to her every day, and Celestia calls Twilight her prized pupil, whatever that means." Applejack pondered a little more into that thought. "Hey! How 'bout ah introduce y'all to my friends in the mornin? Ya'll can crash here if ya like." Applejack offered as they all finished dinner for the night.
"Thank you very much, I would love that. I had a pretty long day today." Danny said, yawning his words out as he finished his dinner. "Besides, I have alot to think about, and alot to get used to."
"Ah understand completely." Applejack said as she started to set up the blankets on the couch Danny was going to sleep on for tonight. "After pertty much savin me and Big Mac's patoody, yer already considered part of the Apple family." Applejack said, giving a big 'thank you' hug to Danny for saving them.
"It was nothing, It's what I do best. Protecting everpony in trouble and defeating every ghost that come across my path." Danny said as he tucked himself in the blankets on the couch.
Applejack gives a slight kiss on Danny's forhead as a compliment for Danny's act of bravery as he was tucked in the couch, Danny blushes. "Goodnight, Danny Fenton."
"You can just call me Danny." He said, Applejack nodded as she turns off the last light in the house, only having the moonlight from outside hit the window next to the couch and shine on his muzzle.
Danny was in deep thought, he was just chasing an average ghost that he knew he could beat, was blasted to another existence, morphed into one of them, and all the while still having ghosts follow him. Did Vlad lie to him when he said that he wouldn't know where he would be? If that was the case, he would have to be extra careful to whom he would be putting in danger, especially in an unfamiliar place like Ponyville. Tomorrow he was scheduled to meet Applejacks friend with her in the morning. With all that has happened that day, he worries that not only will he put Applejack in danger, but her friends as well. Who knows who will come out of that portal again, Skulker, Ember, Walker, Youngblood, or even Freakshow, coming to mess up all of this dimensions reality? He didn't know what would come his way, all he could do is wait and face whatever became a threat to Ponyville, or even all of Equestria. He smiles confidently.
"Bring it on Vlad. Bring it on." He said with smirk as he slowly passes out in the night.
Back at the Ghost Zone, Vlad had been watching Danny the whole time he was there. "Oh, it has already been brought, my boy." Just then, He send out his first of his many colleagues with him out to Ponyville, Vlad letting them know when the time is right to strike. Vlad, in a lower tone. "It...has already...been brought" Following with a maniacle laughter escalating off to a distance.
End of Part 1
Author's Note: This is my first crossover fanfiction I've wrote. So go easy on me a little. I do, however want to see some constructive criticism, any specific flaws and whatnot that needed to be pointed out would be appreciated. I made this out of total inspiration to write. Although Danny Phantom is not my favorite Nick cartoon, I feel like it had way of making alternate dimensions and other worldly places and powers and whatnot make sense, much like with Doctor Who. Again, I expect constructive criticism, and opinions. I am currently writing the 2nd chapter, so whatever you have to say, speak now and forever hold your peace in the world. I'll see ya'll next time.
