It has been a while since I written another Danny Phantom story but this would be my first DP film version.

I would like to give thanks for the inspiration for writing this story to mikaela2015 for her help, permission, and inspiration for this work of art.

Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom characters except for Valiant.

Enjoy!

PHANTOM (DP Tarzan)

Chapter 1: Two Worlds, One Family

The sky was dark and stormy as a huge lightning storm blew strongly in the sea. In the open sea, a ship had caught on fire caused by the lightning that had struck it, setting it on flames. It was crumbling and slowly sinking to the water as the fire spread quickly.

Amidst in the chaos, a woman in a blue jumpsuit was on a lifeboat watching with fear as she held her baby boy while her husband, a large man in an orange jumpsuit, lowered the lifeboat from the ship. As he turned and cranked the lowering mechanism, it burned off by the flames and hit the man. This causes him to release the lifeboat holding his wife and child and fall into the water, but it landed safely.

The woman, known as Maddie, looked with worry from below, hoping to see her husband Jack. Miraculously, she saw him diving into the water. He bursts out of the water and made it onto the boat. They both hugged each other in relief and joy while Jack caressed his son. The baby had icy blue eyes, black hair, and was only wearing a diaper. Then suddenly, thunder thudded and lightning flashed, revealing the land known as Africa in front of them. As the ship sank behind them, they stay put as the waves took them to the shore.

Put your faith in what you most believe in
Two worlds, one family
Trust your heart
Let fate decide
To guide these lives we see

The scene cut into the deep jungle where there was a family of ghosts living peacefully. Despite the stormy night, all the ghosts were calm and most of them were preparing to sleep with their loved ones.

In the middle of the family lay the leader of the ghosts. He was an armored knight ghost with flaming purple hair, green eyes, and a fit body. Everyone refers him as The Fright Knight though his mate is the only one who calls him Knight. His mate, Pandora, is a tall, powerful female warrior but with a caring and kind nature when treated kindly. She also wears Greek clothing, purple hair, and red eyes.

Both ghosts are currently tending their child: a young boy with green eyes, flaming purple hair, and wearing Greek armor. He bears resemblance to his father though he has his mother's spirit. They name him Valiant for his bravery. Fright Knight tends to be a strong ghost, but he's very caring and gentle to his son.

A paradise untouched by man
Within this world blessed with love
A simple life, they live in peace

When morning came, both Maddie and Jack arrived on the beach and went to explore the unknown land, hoping to find a safe place for their son. Then their baby cooed as he pointed to a specific tree. Its trunk was thick and strong, sturdy enough to withstand anything. It was a perfect place for them. Jack patted his baby's head proudly. Not even a year old and he's already making decisions for the whole family.

Softly tread the sand below your feet now
Two worlds, one family
Trust your heart
Let fate decide
To guide these lives we see

At the same time, Fright Knight was playing with Valiant with his toy sword. Valiant laughed as he climbed on his father while he tried to catch his son.

"You can't catch me, Daddy!"

"Oh yes, I will!" Fight knight chuckles. Valiant then jumped down as he ran towards his mother.

"Looks like I got you!" Pandora picked him up and nuzzled him.

"Oh, Momma." Valiant nuzzled her back with love.

Beneath the shelter of the trees
Only love can enter here
A simple life, they live in peace

Meanwhile, Jack and Maddie started to build their safe home using the wreckage from the ship that had washed up on the shore. They carried their supplies up the tree. With Jack's strength and Maddie's planning, they worked together to build their house. After many days of hard labor, they succeeded as their home stood proudly and safely from the dangers below.

Raise your head up
Lift high the load
Take strength from those that need you
Build high the walls
Build strong the beams
A new life is waiting
But danger's no stranger here

Unbeknownst to both families, no place was without its dangers and that danger was known as Aragon, the Dragon Prince. Aragon used to be a proud and noble ghost until an encounter with ghost hunters harmed him with their weapons, turning him wild and rogue. The traumatic experiences had nullified his ability to turn back into his human form, remaining him as a dragon. Now he's a danger to anyone, roaming around the jungle while hunting for his prey.

One night, as the ghosts slept peacefully including Pandora and Fright Knight, Valiant notices a small, blue, ghost frog jumping near him.

"Cool!" He whispered as he tried to touch it, only for it to hop away. "Hey, hopper, come back!" He then began to follow it, wandering away from his parents.

Unfortunately, he's unaware that the dragon, Aragon, is out hunting. Both sides were nearing to each other as Aragon rapidly came towards the sound. Valiant suddenly halted in shock at the sight of Aragon, who roared and screech loudly the moment he spots the boy.

"HEELLPP!" Valiant screamed as he ran away with Aragon chasing behind. Not far, his parents heard his scream and ran towards him with their friend Clockwork, the Ghost of Time who wears a violet cloak, red eyes and wielding a time staff.

"Momma! Daddy!" Valiant tries to race back to his parents, but Aragon corners him and suddenly takes him in his jaws.

The Fright Knight and Pandora hear their son's cries as he's being eaten alive and race to try to protect him, but Knight gasps at the scene.

"NO!" Fright Knight watched in horror and realizes that they are too late to save him, so he stops Pandora in her tracks.

Clockwork knew what has happened and bowed his head sadly while Pandora cries sadly in her mate's arms at the loss of her only child. "My baby boy! Not my son!"

"I'm so sorry." Clockwork sadly whispered before he left them alone to mourn for their loss.

In the morning, Fright Knight announced the family to move to a safe area away from Aragon's hunting grounds. They immediately obeyed and after they found out of Valiant's death, they too mourned for the boy and comforted the depressed mother who followed them behind slowly.

But suddenly, a baby's cries broke her out of her trance and she curiously ran towards the sound. She followed it deep in the jungle until she arrived to the tree house that the humans built.

No words describe a mother's tears
No words can heal a broken heart
A dream is gone, but where there's hope
Somewhere something is calling for you
Two worlds, one family
Trust your heart
Let fate decide
To guide these lives we see

She heard the cries inside. She was curious to know what it was despite not knowing anything about it. She decides to check it out and climbed up the ladder to investigate. Little does she know that her world will change by a strange but destined visitor.

Hope you enjoyed the first chapter.
