Random Danny Phantom au.
The world ended, nukes launching to every corner of the world.
If the nukes didn't kill them, then the aftermath sure did.
An actual, honest to god supervillain wanted the end of the world, and they did it even when they got taken along too.
Vlad, Danny and Dani survived due to their Halfa biology, with Dani leaving for the ghost zone after everything went down.
Danny is overcome by grief, and anger with no place to direct it.
Same goes for Vlad.
And they already didn't like each other, so just one minor thing set them off on each other.
Due to Danny's victory over Pariah Dark, and Vlad helping him with the suit and pushing Pariah back into the coffin, they each became king of the Ghost Zone.
More like half-king since they both share the position but eH.
Danny got the Crown of Fire, which because of his ice core turned into the Crown of Frost.
Meanwhile Vlad got the Ring of Rage, and became much quicker to anger than he was before.
Surprisingly enough, Danny was the one who landed the first hit.
The opposing nature of their cores, fire and ice, wasn't at all helping the planet when they both went all out, especially with the added power boosts.
They fought on the wasteland planet for a few years, then moved to space. To which something of surprise happened, Danny, with his ice core and the Crown of Frost connected to the moon, meanwhile Vlad, with his Ring of Rage, connected to the motherfucking sun.
Why is this important?
Well, because even though humanity was basically wiped out, the faith left behind on things they worshipped was still around.
So Danny and Vlad both got even more boosts of power from the lingering faiths left behind on the sun and moon. Basically becoming gods.
Not that Danny or Vlad cares, for Danny he just wants the earth back to how it was, and his family by extension. For Vlad, even though he has all of this power now, Madeline isn't here anymore, nor is Vladco and everything else he worked for.
So they just, continue fighting.
The Sun vs the Moon.
They held nothing back, using every inch of power in their cores and the power gained from lingering faith of the sun and moon and caused devastation if they were still on earth.
They fought for years and years. Until one day they just, stopped.
Be it because of how much power they used up, or they just felt emotionally exhausted, perhaps both. Danny just stayed on the Moon while Vlad just kinda, drifted, around the sun.
During this time, Clockwork saw this as the best time to yoink them over to the ghost zone, and properly appoint them as Kings of the Infinite Realms.
Of course they had to have the clothes to match, and with them having a connection to the sun and moon certain ghosts had a motif to go off of.
Danny was gifted a white robe that glowed a soft light, with the edges seeming to turn into frosty mist and the area around him is extremely cold.
Vlad was gifted a golden robe that glowed intensely, the entire thing seemed to be made of fire and the area around him extremely hot.
Opposites and stuff I guess.
No other ghost really wanted to fight them and take the Ghost King title, it's honestly far more trouble than it was worth and they didn't want the responsibilities.
So Danny and Vlad had to put aside their differences and rule together properly for each and every ghost in the zone.
Safe to say, neither of them were thrilled to be working with the other. (With Danny not thrilled to be working at all.)
Which is pretty in character with them being polar opposites.
During their off time, much to some ghost's chagrin, they typically leave outside of the zone to their respective domains, the moon and sun. Both of them feel a sense of comfort when near them.
Surprisingly after their battle and working together, Vlad feels calmer around Danny because of his overall aura, whereas Danny feels the never ending chill he experiences lighten up whenever he's near Vlad.
So they're on some sort of truce right now.
Everything is going fine, the zone finally stabilized with the extended presence of both its kings, the Ghost Zone now has some sense of law and order, and everything is just better over all than under Pariah Dark's absence and rule.
Until Danny gets summoned to some far off dimension, still in the appearance of a teenager because he never aged (neither did Vlad) and is absolutely stunned to see living, breathing humans.
It's been far, far too long since he's seen humans.
So there he is, still in his king robes (Which basically become his regular clothing), sitting in a magical summoning circle with cultists all around him preaching to him about he's going to enslave the world and how they off themselves up to be his servants.
Stunned beyond compare seeing people, and then out of the blue more people come out and beat up the cultists, with the last one begging for him to help them and then being knocked out.
A stray thought entered his mind, and he doesn't even care about the other people anymore. So he steps out of the circle, ignoring the others surprise, their battle ready stances, and their attempts at talking with him and just exits the building and flying out of the planet's atmosphere.
He then turned to look at the planet, and he started crying.
It was breath taking to see the earth living again, especially when from the moon all he ever saw was the wasteland that was once his.
Some random dude came up out of the atmosphere with him, with a determined expression on his face before that melted away into surprise and concern. Who then just floated there alongside him.
Meanwhile, over in the DP outer space:
Vlad is not at all amused when he felt the sudden void of the moon. So he went to check it out, seeing the moon deity gone from his place. Usually when they go to the Infinite Realms they are still aware of the others presence.
But now Vlad doesn't feel him at all.
So Vlad goes to find Clockwork, who should surely know if his opposite decided to go back in time.
Clockwork says he doesn't know where Danny is, but he does know he was summoned to another dimension. Vlad questions how Clockwork doesn't know where Danny is since he's the literal Master of Time.
Clockwork says that he oversees all the events and timelines in this dimension, the one where Danny was summoned to however? Noooot so much.
So now Vlad feels he has to look for his counterpart and is increasingly angry that he has to do so, but then Clockwork nudged him along to go and find him.
So now Vlad has to look for the wayward moon deity; while said deity is now talking with a bunch of actual people and is not at all hiding his wonder and amazement at seeing and talking to living people again.
(Clockwork when he knows exactly where, how, and why Danny got summoned, but isn't telling Vlad a single thing other than "You have to go find him." and acting as if he couldn't just pop into the timestream and ask the Linear Men if they've seen an immortal teenage moon deity in any timelines.)

Honestly agility practice tonight wasn't really noteworthy because I kept spacing out. We ran the same course three times, once using front crosses, once using blind crosses, and once with it being up to us. I got lost multiple times each time. Which is a shame because the handling aspect is something I'm really trying to focus on. .
In between runs I mostly focused on rewarding Forte for being calm. He wasn't tense or anything, but I was anticipating that he would be reactive.
Near the end I was having him do position changes to give him something more interesting to do. And he kept breaking to alert me. I wrote it off as patterning behavior because I often have him practice alerts near the end of class.
But then I felt myself dissociate in the way that I feel like I'm sitting to the side of my body. I could see and hear everything but couldn't do anything. Forte immediately came up and braced himself against me in the chair, paws on both shoulders and head tucked in the crook of my neck.
And then I saw a guy from the next class come in with his dog like a kite at the end of the leash. I could tell him his trajectory that he was going to pass behind us, which he did, and that his dog was going to get all up in Forte's space, which it did. And I felt completely helpless because I was sure Forte was going to spin around and blow up at the dog. I was waiting for while I felt like an eternity of this dog with it's nose practically up Forte's ass.
But Forte didn't whine or growl or even lift his head. And I could have cried from relief and pride and gratitude.
This doesn't mean his reactivity is magically cured or that I'm going back to public access yet. Once the dog moved away and I came back to myself he was anxiously clocking all the dogs. But he did accept my practically shoving hot dogs in his face and for every rapid check in.
But this does tell me that yes, he still wants to work as my service dog and that takes greater precedent for him than his current feelings about dogs in his space. It also tells me that a big factor for him is the environment. We've been practicing in this space almost every week since last October so he feels more comfortable here than in new places. And thus his dog tolerance is much higher.
I feel bad that I wasn't in a position to advocate for him. But I'm so proud and humbled that he chose tasking over reacting even though he was definitely uncomfortable. He really is an amazing dog.
