What's this? Have I actually written another story after this everlasting hiatus? GASP!

Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom, I never will, so this will not appear on future chapters.

Prologue

Sometimes, there wasn't a good choice. All of your options sucked and there was no way out. At that point, you're in checkmate. Some people know when they're beat, some people refuse to give up.

Sometimes, you have to choose the lesser of the two evils.

It was the situation Clockwork was in right now. It was a situation he was often in. He'd seen every possible choice. All of them ended badly. Yet, there was one path that had the possibility of a happy ending. It was a risky path; one he'd be putting a lot on, but…

It was the lesser of the two evils.
