Reign

Two

Danny's chest heaved as he sucked in huge amounts of air.

His wide open eyes were draining pure black from his icy blue orbs. The ghostly green flames that surrounded his form died down, until disappearing from the long onyx table altogether. Danny slowly drifted down from his floating position and landed gently on the table.

Danny slowed his breathing and blinked his eyes rapidly.

Clockwork stood to the side, his childlike form shifting into one of a young adult.

"Thank god, its over..." Danny muttered.

Danny groaned and sat up, his black bangs dropping in his face, almost touching his nose. Danny swung his legs over the side of the levitation table and hopped down.

"I hope I don't look too different..." he muttered.

"Oh, you'd be surprised." the young Clockwork snickered.

Danny panicked. He quickly formed a long mirror of ice, then took took at his reflection.

He sent an irritated look at his mentor. Clockwork shifted into an infant form and giggled.

"You made it sound like I looked totally different." Danny snapped.

Clockwork giggled and floated himself upside down.

Danny rolled his eyes. "Whatever."

He turned back to the mirror, then frowned. "What happened to my hair?"

His hair was longer, and darker. The sides and back were cut short, but the rest of his hair was longer, and in the same style as always. But with how good it looked, Danny figured he should have done this to it a long time ago.

"What the...?" Danny leaned closer to the mirror, staring into his own eyes. The icy blue that he was familiar with was there, but it was trapped in a ring of dark blue.

As he explored his face, he noticed how white his already pale skin had gotten. And were those freckles?

Danny's mouth opened in astonishment, but then he snapped it closed. He had seen it for just enough time.

"Holy crap, Clockwork! Why the hell did you give me FANGS?! I look like a freaking vampire!"

Clockwork was in his adult form now. He simply shrugged and said, "It wasn't me. The flames simply enhanced what you already had."

"But I didn't have fangs! Not even a SINGLE freckle." Danny mused.

"Perhaps it is reflecting your personality. You do not like it?" Clockwork raised his eyebrow.

Danny glanced at himself in the long ice mirror. He had a red and black t-shirt, dark green jeans tucked into black combat boots, a dark blue hooded jacket, and (for some weird reason) his cousins signature red beanie. He was a little bit taller, not too noticeable...His hair didn't look that bad...

Danny mentally groaned. He just faced the fact that he looked totally hot.

"It's fine, I guess...It's not too bad." Danny pouted. Clockwork smirked.

"Right."

"So what now?" Danny mused.

"Now we take a look at Phantom." Clockwork said.

Oh right. Danny glanced at the mirror and shook his head.

He searched deep within himself for the cold ball of energy, and pulled it forward.

A flash of light appeared at his waist, forming a blue ring, which split apart. One ring traveled up, the other down, revealing black and white fabric in it's wake. Danny's raven hair turned to a silky, snow white. Skin went from pale, to slightly tan. Icy blue eyes were replaced with shockingly green ghostly eyes.

"Cool!" Danny exclaimed, his spectral voice echoing. Even his hazmat suit had changed.

Intead of the one piece, black and white hazmat, he had different style clothes.

Danny Phantom now wore black skinny jeans and white combat boots, a long sleeve black shirt with a sleeveless, hooded white half jacket. White fingerless gloves were on his hands.

Two white belts crisscrossed across his waist, one belt holding a Fenton thermos. His white hair was in the same style as in human form.

Danny looked in the mirror and saw that his white half jacket had the Phantom logo in black on the upper left side.

Danny's feet left the ground as he charged up and ectoblast. Now this, he could get used to.

He turned his head to the side and noticed a green and white headset on his ear. With two nearly invisible buttons and a mic extending to his jaw, it looked kinda like what a singer would wear, a microphone for performing onstage.

He pushed a button and a loud beeping noise made him put his hand over his jacket pocket. Danny reached in his pocket and pulled out four more, one all black, one white and red, a icy blue and white one, and a black and green one.

Danny flashed a sharp grin towards Clockwork. "Perfect."

Danny floated a while longer, then touched back down on the cold onyx floor.

"Is that all?" he asked.

"Yes child. It is time." Clockwork said, back in young adult form.

Danny huffed and made the ice mirror explode into frost.

Danny ran his hand through his freakishly soft white hair.

"I'm ready."
