The Fenton Thermoses were never meant to contain ghosts for more than a few hours, although, as with most Fenton technology the Thermoses worked much better than originally expected, and our heroes would come to find that they would hold even the most powerful ghosts for days, weeks even, if the situation demanded it.
It is perhaps this that lulled them into a false sense of security, and caused them to never question whether or not that which was once a soup can, could hold a ghost who destroyed the world, and bind him for all eternity.
Only the Master of Time himself foresaw the inevitable end to the monsters captivity, and even he saw this event as one that would not yet occur for years, allowing enough time for the boy to gain strength enough to defeat his older counterpart. If only this had proven to be true, but instead, history had chosen to take the least possible of its options. And Dan had escaped a mere two years into his captivity.
Once again choosing the improbable, Dan ignored his expected enemy, instead deciding to take out a future threat while it was still weak.
For you see, Dan was still acting under the assumption that his future would still come into being, he did still exist after all. And in his future his world conquest was delayed several years due to a select group of humans with the ability to manipulate Anaphasic energy and their bothersome leader whose power and sheer stubbornness rivaled even his younger self's.
It was for these reasons that when he left the smoldering remains of the Castle Beyond Time and Space, he exited through a portal to the present day, a time when his future enemy was still weak and inexperienced, through a portal that also led to his dark haired adversary's home country, England.
