Chapter 1: Dan's Escape.
All was quiet in Clockworks tower, well except for the ticking of all the clocks of past, present and future. Clockwork was talking with two of the observants…again. Well it was more like a loud argument, and the argument was over killing a monstrous being that lived outside of time and space. And it was starting to get on the nerves of a resident ghost who was a prisoner in Clockworks domain.
"Would you shut your bloody cheese holes?! You are all getting on my last nerve!" Shouted a green and grey thermos that was situated on a table in the corner off the room.
"No. And you are a ghost you don't have nerves" Said one of the one eyed ghost.
"Don't have nerves" repeated the second in a slightly lower toned voice.
"It's a figure of speech! And why does one of you always have to repeat what the other one has just said? It is extremely annoying!" shouted the thermos.
"Calm down Daniel" said Clockwork in a soothing, but in Dan's mind; condescending manner.
"Don't tell me what to do moron! And my name is Dan, not Daniel! Not Danny! Not anything that stupid dweeb of my younger alternative self goes by! It's just Dan!" shouted Dan, the evil alternative future ghost of Danny Phantom, who thanks to Danny was now trapped in a Fenton thermos.
"Why do you even keep him alive? Just kill him, then all of time and space will be rid of him, it's in favour with everything, even your own existence so why won't you do it?" asked the first Observant.
"Why won't you do it?" asked the second Observant.
"I have my reasons" answered Clockwork.
"Cryptic as ever" said the second Observant.
Even though Dan could not see which Observant was speaking he recognised the lower toned voice of the second Observant.
"Wait did the second one speak and he wasn't repeating?" asked Dan in either confusion or in fear he was going mad….well madder than he already was.
"Yes. Well this is most intriguing" replied Clockwork, teasing the observants but at the same time trying to keep a serious voice and expression.
"CLOCKWORK!" shouted the two Observants.
"Oh keep you bloody eyes in their sockets, for crying out loud!" shouted Dan.
"KEEP OUT OF THINGS THAT DON'T CONCERN YOU BOY!" Shouted both the Observants in perfect sink.
"They do concern me if you are talking about KILLING ME" Dan growled.
"That will not happen since he is in my care" said Clockwork calmly.
And at that statement…Dan flipped out.
"Care? CARE! If this is your CARE then I don't want to know what your punishments are like. Do you know what it's like to be trapped in this God forsaken thermos for...I don't know how long, in nothing but darkness and hearing nothing but the sounds of ticking clocks and you lot arguing?!" Dan ranted.
As Dan was talking the Observants where blocking him out, but Clockwork looked a little worried.
"Time to prove your' worth Dan" Clockwork mumbled, no-one but Dan heard it.
"What?" asked a confused Dan, stopping his rant ignored by everybody in the room.
"3, 2, 1 poof" counted Clockwork.
And with that the thermos disappeared in a puff of green smoke, with Dan inside it.
The observants stared at the space the thermos had occupied not 10 seconds before, then slowly turned to the calm form of Clockwork floating over by his time windows seemingly oblivious to what had just occurred, Clockwork turned to the two observants and seen that their eyes were holding the question 'what just happened?'.
"All will be revealed in good time. But for now, would you care to observe the door" said Clockwork.
And with that the two observants faded away, back to their own domain. And Clockwork continued to watch his time windows as normal.
*Meanwhile*
Danny Phantom and Valerie Gray where fighting above the Nasty Burger, well more Valerie was shooting Danny while he tried to avoid the blast's.
"I haven't done anything! Why are you shooting at me?" asked Danny, fed up of fighting. He was only in ghost form to fly home quicker after spending his Sunday with Sam and Tucker, he just wanted to go home and hopefully get some sleep ready for school the next day, but could he catch a break? Of course not.
"Cause we're worst enemies, you ruined my life and you're a ghost" listed Valerie.
"YOU'RE not my worst enemy" stated Danny, shivering at the thought of Dan.
"Well you're mine. Argh, I wish your worst enemy was here right now, that way we could team up and finish you off!" shouted Valerie.
"So you have wished it so it shall be" said Desiree, popping out of nowhere. The sky where Danny and Valerie filled with a green smoke and then it disappeared with Desiree, there was only one thing wrong…
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!" shouted the thermos in Danny's hands, Danny jumped as he recognised the voice and on instinct threw the thermos away. But it hit Valerie and she caught it.
"OWWWWWWWWWWWW, MY HEAD" whined the thermos loudly.
"What in the world?" mumbled Valerie; she looked at Danny who was frozen in fear, a look of terror across his face as he stared at the thermos fearfully. Valerie then remembered what she had just wished for and started to smirk at Danny.
"So this is your worst enemy, a thermos?" she asked in disbelief. Danny didn't reply still frozen in fear, he felt like someone was squeezing the air from his lungs.
"Helloooooooo? Clockwork? Annoying dudes? Anyone?" asked Dan, disorientated from the inside of the thermos.
"Ummmm, hello? Who's in there?" Valerie asked the thermos, glancing across at Danny occasionally.
"Uhhhhh, ok" mumbled the Dan, he was pretty sure he had no clue where he was. "Where am I?" he asked.
"Uhhhhh, Amity Park" replied Valerie.
"AMITY PARK!" Shouted Dan.
"Who are you?" asked Valerie.
"If you must know… It's bite my ectoplasm!" shouted Dan.
"If you answer this question, and give me the answer I want, I'll let you out, okay?" asked Valerie.
"Yeah, sure, whatever" said Dan absentmindedly, he just wanted to get out of the blasted thermos.
"Are you Danny Phantoms worst enemy?" she asked.
"I suppose so…Yes, yes I am" Dan answered.
"Now that's the answer I wanted to hear" said Valerie as she pressed the release button on the thermos.
"Nooooooooooooooo!" shouted Danny reaching out in front of him, towards Valerie as if trying to undo what she had just done.
"Yes! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Came the shout and evil laughter of Dan as he emerged from the thermos and his body became solid and visible through the smoke the thermos or Dan had made on his release.
"No…" whispered Danny, eyes wide in fright as his mind reeled at the sight of Dan and as he tried to think of a plan to help himself, and Valerie, to get out of the terrible, terrible mess.
"Miss me?" Dan asked arrogantly, rolling his shoulders and cracking his knuckles, smirking at Danny.
