Resurrected Clone AU
An AU that started with the idea that Perfect Clone was aware of what was happening in the events of Kindred Spirits and spiraled into all the clones being resurrected forming a family (including Danny, Jazz, and Flynn), and then each getting adopted by the ancients.
Full timeline under cut.
Kindred Spirits happens with Perfect Clone aware in his pod. x
GiW find and gather up the ectoplasm from the melted Franken Clone.
Vlad dumps the ectoplasm from melted Tiny Clone into the Ghost Zone. x
Destabilized happens
Vlad remakes Perfect Clone, now stable and unable to resist any order Vlad gives him. Vlad orders Perfect Clone to kill Dani, but Perfect Clone is able to break the control Vlad had over him before he can hurt her. This leads to Danny, Dani, and Perfect Clone fighting Vlad, but Perfect Clone is separated from Danny and Dani and is unable to be found. x
Perfect Clone is found by an adult, mistaken for Danny skipping school and taken to Casper. There he runs into Sam and Tucker while Danny is out fighting a ghost. They confront him and the truth comes out. They tell Danny and Perfect Clone is surprised at how happy Danny is to see him alive. x
Perfect Clone changes his name to Liam. x
Liam is reunited with Dani, now called Elle, and lives on the streets with her. x
Liam offers to cover for Danny at school while he’s ghost fighting and runs into Wes who gets suspicious. He also encounters Sidney Poindexter which leads to Danny’s first truce that allows a ghost free access to the living world. x
Tiny Clone eventually reforms in the Ghost Zone and finds his way to the Fenton portal. x
While avoiding Danny’s parents Tiny Clone hides in Jazz’s room and scares her, drawing Danny’s attention. He tries to run but is caught by Danny, who reassures him that he’s safe. x
Tiny is reunited with Elle and Liam. x
Tiny changes his name to Kenny.
During an experiment with a stolen ecto dejecto formula the melted ectoplasm from Franken Clone is covered, causing him to reform.
After escaping the GiW base, Franken Clone sees Elle and Liam together and mistakes it as the set up for Vlad’s plan for him to attack. He is stopped by Elle and Kenny and the situation is explained to him.
Franken Clone changes his name to David.
David finds a place for them to live in the Green Light/Neon district and the clones move in.
Danny asks Sam and Tucker to help him bring back Skeleton Clone, but they’re only able to retrieve a small amount of ectoplasm. It’s not enough to resurrect Skeleton Clone on its own, so they make a plan to steal a clone pod from Vlad.
Danny, Sam, and Tucker steal a clone pod from Vlad without Vlad, or the clones knowing and use it to bring Skeleton Clone back.
Danny surprises the other clones with Skeleton Clone, who changes his name to Jack (Jax to avoid confusion)
A video of someone finding Vlad’s Colorado lab and early cloning notes goes viral and people start to think it’s connected to Phantom.
Elle and Liam get seen in human form wandering around the back alleys of the city and have to use their ghost powers to escape the police and social workers looking for them, creating an urban legend.
Some people see Liam in ghost form and there are a few rumors but more just think he’s Danny with a hood.
Maddie notices Jazz taking the ecto contaminated food out of the fridge and driving off with it one night and follows her. She sees Jazz meeting with Liam and spies on them until Liam notices her and bolts. Maddie tries to chase him, but he disappears down a dead-end alley and she doesn’t know what happened.
Maddie tries to confront Jazz on what happened and asks about Liam but Jazz refuses to tell her anything.
Kenny is seen on camera saving a kid in a ghost fight and it makes the news, drawing Vlad’s attention to the clones.
Vlad’s first attempt at kidnapping one of the clones (probably Kenny) in order to make Danny/Elle/Liam cooperate with him fails, but does reveal the existence of the clones to the general public.
David discovers his Echo power while confronting Vlad.
While out ghost hunting Jack sees Elle and Liam running from Spectra. Vlad (as Plasmius) then shows up and reveals Spectra to be a ghost. After keeping the kids safe from Bertrand, Jack notices that Plasmius does the same replacing swears with desserts as Vlad does and combined with Spectra showing that ghosts can disguise themselves as humans makes him start to think.
Jack explains a few of his worries to Maddie which add to her own worries, and they decide to build a device that can detect ghosts pretending to be human.
At some point Danny finds Flynn in the Ghost Zone and tells him about his parents.
While out exploring, Elle falls through a portal and ends up in a dangerous swamp in the Ghost Zone. She is then saved by Sojourn. He offers to take her to the Center (place for orphaned child ghosts) but on the way he starts to get attached to her.
While at the Center Elle is given a Caretaker to look after her until she’s adopted, but a random portal opens, and the Caretaker is pulled through.
The portal brings the Caretaker to the material world, and due to its lack of knowledge, mistakes human kids as orphaned ghost children. So, they treat them as such, by trapping them all in the school and preventing any adults from getting in. This includes Danny, Sam, Tucker, and the clones except for Elle.
Elle tells Sojourn about the Caretaker being pulled through the portal and when they find out what happened on Earth, they make a plan to rescue the kids. It works but it means the clones are registered as not belonging in the Center, so they are unable to go and be safe there.
Elle is adopted by Sojourn.
Kenny fines Undergrowth as a tiny weed in the woods trying to hide from some hungry deer. Spec scares off the deer, leading to them and Undergrowth getting close.
Eventually Undergrowth is able to grow large enough to gain his power back and offers to make Kenny’s larger form more stable, essentially adopting him. Kenny agrees and during the process, while they’re asleep, Undergrowth invades Amity again.
Kenny wakes up to his new leafy form and sees that Amity is covered in vines and appears to be abandoned. They eventually find Sam trapped in her greenhouse and helps free her as she explains what’s going on. Spec is furious to learn that the person they’ve been looking up to would do something like this and they both go to find Danny. They eventually find him trapped in a cage of power draining vines and start working on freeing him, only for Undergrowth to show up. Spec starts yelling at him and even goes as far as to try and rip out the plants holding his larger form together. This convinces Undergrowth to stop and let everyone go. There may also be some threatening of Vlad to turn the woods outside Amity into a nature preserve.
With Undergrowth just outside the city Vlad becomes more wary of directly attacking the clones. This leads the clones to feel safer being seen out in public.
Jax finds out he can create illusions and uses them to mess with people. His favorite is making himself look like a creepy version of Danny.
Ecton gets wrapped up in a ghost rebellion against Walker and manages to overthrow him. In the process it’s revealed that Walker was the founder of what eventually became the GiW and is Danny’s great-grandfather. This leads to a truce between Walker and Danny.
During Halloween Danny gives Jax a constructive outlet for his obsession by making a haunted house. Fright Knight is summoned to the house and witnesses Jax skill in scaring people, making Fright Knight want to adopt him. Jax is wary of the offer but is also too scared by Fright Knight to say no and Fright Knight starts training him. Eventually Jax starts having fun and forgets why he was worried in the first place, which allows things to go too far. Jax is having too much fun to notice until the other clones get hit by Fright Knight’s sword. He realizes that they need to stop but isn’t sure how to tell Fright Knight. Danny helps him and Fright Knight brings the clones back. After a conversation on appropriate levels of scaring, Fright Knight and Jax begin to bond again.
Pandora learns about Ecton’s rebellion against Walker and goes to investigate. After talking to Ecton and being impressed with all the good he’s done she decides to adopt him.
While watching a ghost fight Liam sees Danny just drop and quickly goes to rescue him. Only to find the person he was fighting was Nocturn and is instantly knocked unconscious as well.
After realizing the dream he’s trapped in isn’t real, Liam wakes up. He confronts Nocturn and notices some inconsistencies between what’s happening and Danny’s previous encounter and Nocturn offers to explain. With a need to know what’s going on he agrees and Danny wakes up to see Nocturn pulling Liam into himself.
Danny fight’s through Nocturn’s dream to rescue Liam only to find that he seems to be enjoying himself. However, before he can figure out what’s going on Nocturn shows up and Danny tries to fight him, but Liam jumps in to explain that Nocturn isn’t a bad guy. He was actually trying to take care of Danny’s health; he just had a hard time relaying that in a way Danny’s obsession would let him accept. Liam also tells Danny that Nocturn offered to adopt him, and Liam accepted.
It is discovered that Vlad has the Crown of Fire and Danny, Sam, and Tucker steal it from him. Danny then ends up with the crown stuck on top of his head in ghost form, marking him King of Ghosts.
It is discovered that the house with the lab from the video that went viral belongs to Vlad and after the authorities find the lab he is placed under investigation. Vlad tries to pay people off but with how public the case is it just makes him look more suspicious. So, he tries to turn to the Fentons for help.
Jack is still suspicious from that night in the alley, so he uses the device to detect ghosts disguised as humans on Vlad and reveals him as Plasmius. Vlad bolts before Jack and Maddie can figure out what to do.
Jack and Maddie take a trip into the Ghost Zone to take some observations but get knocked off course and land near Flynn’s campsite. When they wake up Flynn informs them of where they are and their circumstances, then introduces them to Misery Vex. Jack and Maddie are horrified but have no other choice but to trust ghosts to get them home, in the process many of their beliefs about ghosts are challenged.
Jack and Maddie study an artifact they found during their time trapped in the Ghost Zone and get so invested they don’t notice Jazz struggling from all the stress she’s putting on herself. Eventually Jazz has a meltdown which the artifact responds to and latches onto her, connecting her emotions to the weather.
Danny tries to tell his parents how to help Jazz but they ignore him and lock him in the lab to ‘keep him safe’. Danny uses his ghost powers to get out and goes to help Jazz. He manages to calm her down, but his parents still insist they know the best way to help her when they really don’t and Danny snaps. This results in him activating his power to create portals and he disappears with Jazz into the Ghost Zone.
With no idea where in the Ghost Zone their kids could have gone Jack and Maddie turn to the only person they can think of that could help them, and go searching for Vlad.
Danny takes Jazz to the Far Frozen and it’s revealed that they can’t just remove the artifact because its properties have fused with the nanobots that are still in her from when Vlad pit her and Danny against each other. The only thing they can do is reduce how much power she lets out, but they’ll never be able to get rid of it. The best option is for Jazz to learn to control the powers.
While hiding from the Observants Vortex runs into Jazz training and he agrees to help her in exchange for a safe place to hide. Eventually these training sessions turn into emotional venting sessions and both Jazz and Vortex learn to process their emotions in a healthy way.
That’s everything I have at this point. The next part kind of depends on if it seems believable that Vlad learned his lesson or not. I have a few vague ideas on what I want to happen next but not much is really fleshed out.
