#Ghost Zone Breakout AU

[bet-on-me-13]

Ghost Zone Breakout Au

So! Danny is missing. Maybe it's a Vivisection AU and he ran away, maybe he got trapped by one of his Rogues, either way, Danny is gone and his Rogues are free to spread across the planet.

Walker in particular has an interesting adventure.

After Danny trashed his Prison and broke Wulf out, people realized that it wasn't as impenetrable as he made it out to be. And what's an army of Immortal Criminals to do when given all the time in the world? They test each and every method they can to break in or to escape.

Danny's actions caused a Domino Effect that lead to Walkers Prison being torn apart from both the inside and the outside. He lost his Territory, his Power, and most of his Guards. So he decided to start again in the Mortal Realm.

And he found the perfect New Haunt.

Arkham.

He's never seen such a sorry Prison in his AfterLife (It's an asylum). Criminals breaking in and out every other week, no prisoner staying for longer than a month at most, and nobody is doing anything to fix it.

He needs to remedy this.

So one night, he and his Army of Ghostly Guards attack the Prison. They Overshadow whatever guards are on Duty, take control of the Prison Systems, and Initiate a Total Lockdown.

Walker then sends out a Message.

"People of the Mortal Realm. I an Warden Walker, the new Head of this here little Prison. We have seen how terrible this sorry excuse for a prison is, and decided to take it upon ourselves to fix it. From now on, we will be the Guards of this Arkham. Send your prisoners here, and they will stay here. Try to break in, and you will never leave. Try to force us out, and you will join our undead Ranks. This is not a Negotiation, this is not a Request, this is an Announcement. If you have a problem with this, then I will be happy for personally meet you. I am in need of new employees after all."

After this message, many tried to stop him, but none were successful. He didn't seem to understand that a Prison is meant to hold Prisoners for a determined amount of Time, not forever. Or that it wasn't a Prison in the first place, it was an Asylum to treat the mentally ill.

The Bats could do anything either. Any time they tried to take back the prison, they were beaten back by the Possessed Guards and Ghostly Guards patrolling the grounds. And they didn't want to hurt the Hostages.

They needed a solution, so they got to digging.

Apparently they weren't the only ones who were dealing with Ghost Related Issues. All across the world, powerful Ghosts were claiming large areas of land as their new Haunts, weaker Ghosts were running Rampant in the spaces in between, and JLD was being run ragged as they tried to help wherever they could.

It was a worldwide issue, and they needed to find the Cause.

After a lengthy investigation, they found that all the Ghosts originally came from one Place. A small town in Illinois where they had been trying to break into the Mortal Realm for years, but they had been stopped by another. A Ghost who protected the Mortal Realm from the powerful Spirits of the Dead.

If they had any hope of containing this threat, they needed his help. They needed to find Phantom.

2 and 16 for the ask game for DP?

2 is Royal AU and 16 is Prison AU.  A strange, foreign part of my brain just started chanting ‘Man in the iron mask.  Man in the iron mask.’  

(Also: Yo, it’s been a while.)

Anyway.  

Instead of TUE: 

Danny is being a curious little bean in the Ghost Zone when the Observants show up, drag him off for a mockery of a trial, and stuff him in the deepest, darkest prison they have.  It is, as one might imagine, very deep and dark.  Vortex, Undergrowth, Nocturne, a wide variety of genuinely dangerous and terrible people, and a bunch of other people the Observants don’t like are kept there.   

The Observants claim their judgement is because Danny will someday become, well.  Dan.  Show pictures and everything.  Danny is skeptical and defiant, and everything you’d expect.  You know the drill.

The inside of the prison is brutal.  Worse than Walker’s.  Danny hasn’t gotten quite all of his canon character development (we’ll ignore whatever was happening in season 3) or the sauce-powered wakeup call so he’s still got a lot of those flaws.  He uses his powers to survive, of course.  He would anyway.  But over time he starts going overboard in the name of survival.  His friends and family aren’t there to balance him, to give him that outside perspective.  He’s slipping.  

Then he catches himself before doing something the Observants said evil-him would do.  Has a breakdown.  Changes tactics.  Gathers allies.  Follows the advice of that weird old guy who always shows up at the right time.  Makes more of an effort to be kind.  To do more than just survive.  He was doing that before, too!  He’s just trying to be more conscious about it, to see the other ghosts.  

Before he knows it, some of the more old-fashioned ghosts are calling him one of the ‘kings’ of the prison.  (Danny now knows what it’s like to be a gang leader at 14.)

He gets together the other prisoners, and they stage a breakout.  Possibly at some point, it’s discovered that the whole prison thing was so that the Observants didn’t have to acknowledge that Danny is the rightful king of the Ghost Zone.  Not that it really matters, with all the ex-prisoners backing him.
