The Battle Through Time
Disclaimer: The only thing I own is the plot, the boy that has the ghost within him, and the ghost that is within him. The rest belongs to the creators of the show Danny Phantom.
Summery: Clockwork must find answers, Danny and Ember must find a connection, and a lost boy must find his place in the world, and all this happens through time as they battle the evil one. A Danny/Ember flick along with some other romances. This story happens some time after Phantom Planet.
Chapter 1: The Plan
Clockwork and the Observers were in a meeting discussing the danger that was going to happen. One of the video screens that were in the room was showing a monstrous ghost being released from a human boy that tried to resists. Another of the screens was showing the same boy killing many people at different times including some ghosts. An additional screen showed a man summing something ghost like and putting it into a women. Another screen was showing the ghost that exited the body of the boy as the ruler of the Ghost Zone and the human world. However, Clockwork was looking at the last of the five screens which was of Danny Phantom using his ghostly wail at the same time Ember McLain uses the power of her guitar. This causes a ghost arm from the boy from the other screens to break apart. All the videos were repeating except for the one of the boy killing humans and ghosts.
"Clockwork as you know this ghost," one of the Observers said afraid to say the name of the ghost, "is beyond any of our control or powers. We were never given the power to change the events of the Four."
"Yes, I know the four original ghosts that created the Ghost Zone and gave us the power to keep time in balance." Clockwork said as he floated to the video he was still looking at. "However, we do have the power to change what the only two that are able to hurt the evil of the Four do."
"Clockwork they were only able to hurt him once, and when he was still sealed within the boy," one of the Observers said.
"I am well aware of that. Now, why don't you finish observing why I do my job," Clockwork said as he used his staff with a clock at one end to create a vortex to travel through time and space.
At the Fenton's House
Danny and Sam were watching a movie on their couch cuddling. Maddie, Jack, and Jazz were in the kitchen about to leave to take Jazz to see the college she would be attaining in the fall.
"Bye Danny we will be back in a few hours," Maddie told her son.
"Now you kids don't do anything too crazy, unless you're after a ghost," Jack yelled at Danny and Sam.
"We won't dad. See you guys latter," Danny yelled back.
"Ya, bye Mr. and Mrs. Fenton," Sam said.
"Now Danny you really need to behave. You have a girlfriend now. And if there is a ghost attack please take care of it," Jazz said to her little brother. She still doesn't like her little brother dating Sam, but as long as her brother was happy she didn't mind that much.
"Don't worry Jazz I can take care of it," Danny said.
Mr. and Mrs. Fenton, along with Jazz left and head on to the road. After they were long gone Tucker came running into the house screaming and out of breath.
"What is it Tuck?" Danny said as he and Sam rushed over to him.
It…it…it was Ember," Tuck struggled to get out.
"Ember, where?" Danny said as his eyes went green for a second from the slight anger of having to fight a ghost instead of spending time with Sam.
Tucker finally caught his breath and said, "At the park. She's going crazy, destroying everything and everyone she can."
"Well, I'm going ghost," Danny said as he change into his ghost form. "I'm sorry Sam; it looks like we'll have to finish the movie another time."
"Sure just don't let me wait too long," Sam said as she and Danny kissed for a hopefully short good bye.
"Man do you two have to do that in front of me, I mean come on," Tucker said in protest.
"Sorry Tuck, I'll see you guys soon, this shouldn't take long," Danny said as he flew through the ceiling and headed to the park.
At the Park
Ember was yelling and playing her guitar like crazy with her blue fire hair spreading everywhere. What or who ever pissed Ember off was going to pay.
"Where are you Box Ghost, I'm going to destroy you for reading my diary," Ember yelled out screaming at the top of her lunges.
The Box Ghost was hiding behind a tree shaking in fear. I can't believe this. Why did I read Ember's diary? Do I like being beat or something? The Box Ghost thought to himself. The truth was The Box Ghost just found the diary in a box, with no idea that Ember's old human self use to live in the house he was trying to haunt, that is until he opened it.
Ember fired another blast from her guitar that destroyed the tree in which The Box Ghost hid behind.
"There you are," Ember said just before hinting another note on her guitar. The blast hits The Box Ghost and knocks him to the ground.
"Now where is my diary?" Ember said holding up The Box Ghost by his shirt ready to punch him.
"Over there," The Box Ghost pointed to a pile of boxes that were next to a blue book with slight flames drawn on the cover.
Ember flew over to her diary, still holding The Box Ghost, and picked her old diary up. Wow, it's been a while, the girl thought to herself.
Ember looked from the diary to The Box Ghost and yelled, "Now if you ever tell anyone, I mean anyone anything that is in this diary then so help me…you will free more pain than you could ever imagine."
The Box Ghost nodded terrified as Ember let go of him. After he was free he flew off as fast as he could.
My old dairy from when I was still a human. How did that idiot ever get his hands on it, Ember thought to herself as she stared at her old dairy mesmerized in thoughts of her past.
Just then Danny Phantom flew over to Ember extremely fast. "Oh great, just what I need," Ember said crossing her arms staring at Danny angrily for his interruption of her thoughts of the past.
"Well Ember funny seeing you here destroying this park," Danny said.
"Easy dipstick I'm in no mood for you. I just got done beating up The Box Ghost for reading my diary," Ember said as she thought, Why did I just tell him about my diary.
"Ha, you keep a diary, and to think I thought you were this hard core rock singer or something."
"Shut up dipstick," Ember yelled as her hair fired up when she played a note on her guitar unleashing a purple fist at Danny which he dogged.
"What's the matter Ember too busy putting your sole in your diary to practice your aim," Danny said as he blasted her with one green echo blast after another until one of them hit Ember sending her flying to the ground. Danny flew over to her getting the Fenton Thermos out aimed right at her.
"Danny, wait," Clockwork said coming out of no where with his time vortex.
"What…Clockwork, what are you doing here?" Danny said as he almost dropped the thermos in surprise.
By this time Ember got up wounding why Clockwork of all people would be here.
"Danny, Ember, there is something I must show you," Clockwork said as he opened a time vortex.
"Why do you need to see Ember, she's the enemy," Danny said looking from Clockwork to Ember, and then back to Clockwork.
"You both need to see this, and as for the why. It will be easier to show you why. Now both of you follow me," Clockwork said entering the vortex before either Danny or Ember could say a word. Danny and Ember looked at each other, and then without words entered the vortex both wanting to know why Clockwork wanted them.
The vortex leads them to Clockwork's place which has a portal of echo energy that can lead to any time and any place.
"Wow, you know I always wanted to sneak in here and become the ruler of all of time, but I could never find out where this place was," Ember said looking around to try to determine her location in the ghost zone.
"Ya, I know, of course I know everything…well except one thing. However, that is the reason I need your help," Clockwork said turning to Danny and Ember.
"What, you need our help, as in me and dipstick here. Why would I ever help you Clockwork," Ember said staring at Clockwork like she was going to kill him for even considering the idea.
Clockwork just pointed his staff at the vortex, and said, "This is why you will help me."
The vortex changed to the monstrous ghost killing Ember. The sight was unbearable, Danny had to look away, and as for Ember she stood their motionless with a look of both horror and fear, Clockwork just stared at Danny and Ember knowing that Ember will now help him.
"I'm sure I don't have to show you your death Danny," Clockwork said as he turned the vortex to its normal state.
"What happened, no what is going to happen? What was that thing that," Danny looked at the motionless Ember with remorse as he thought, I can't believe I free sorry for her, but that was a horrible way to die, and then said, "What was that thing?"
"It was the evil one of the Four, that is the four first ghosts that created The Ghost Zone."
"And it…it kills me, but how, I already died, how can I die again," Ember said tears nearly coming from her eyes.
"Well Ember that thing kills many humans along with many ghosts. There are two ways to kill a ghost Ember, one being what the other three of the Four did, and that was give yourself up to go somewhere else, and as for the second way that way is lost somewhere in time. Only he knows what it is."
"Then is that what you want us to help you with Clockwork, but I don't see how we can hel…" But before Danny could get out the last word Clockwork again changed the vortex, this time to the scene where Danny uses his ghostly wail and Ember uses her guitar to destroy the huge ghostly beast arm that was coming from a pre-teen boy.
"That boy is containing the ghost sealed within him, for now, but in time the seal will break completely and the evil one of the Four will be free, and as you can see you two have the powers to at least hurt him, somewhat, but only together. The reason I need your help is because no one else has any power to hurt him. Why you two have such power I don't even know, but if you're lucky in time you will find out."
"So what are we suppose to do find this boy and kill him," Ember said now back to her old self. I can't believe I almost lost it there, Ember thought to herself.
"No, you see killing the boy will only make this future come to pass quicker, and we need time. The evil one can also travel through time, and he will be looking for us, me partially due to his own arrogance and pride. As for the boy he seems to be the only thing that can resist the evil one and he seems to have some control over the evil one's powers. However, the seal has been slowly loosening as time goes on, and soon it will break all together."
"Then what do you want Ember and me to do?" Danny asked.
"For now you two must train to use your powers as one. You will be sent four years into the past where hopefully the evil one will not find you," Clockwork said as he handed Danny and Ember both a time belt to travel through time.
"So you really are going to trust me?" Ember said looking at Clockwork as she thought, Once this ghost is beaten I will have my ticket to ruling all of time.
"It's like I said before I know everything, and I know you won't betray me Ember McLain."
"So Clockwork what will you be doing as we are in the past?" Danny asked as he thought, I can't believe I have to work along side Ember, but if it is to save the world then I guess I have no choice.
"I will be searching all of time and space for the answers I seek, and yes for the second way to kill a ghost."
"So we will be killing that ghost," Ember said.
"Yes, but not the boy, only kill the ghost when he is not sealed in the boy anymore."
"Ya, I got it," Ember said as Danny and her approached the portal now showing Amity Park four years ago.
"One last thing if you run into the boy don't make him angry, and if the evil one himself shows up, run," Clockwork stated as Danny and Ember walked into the portal neither wanting to work with the other, but are given no choice.
As soon as Clockwork turned the portal to its normal state one of the Observers came flying through the door.
"Clockwork its…its him," the Observer said before he passed out, and then out of the door came Undergrowth, Vortex, Fright Night, and lastly the evil one in his monstrous form.
"Hello Clockwork," said the evil one as he slowly floated over to Clockwork.
"Well it seems that you're right on time," Clockwork said as he smiled knowingly.
"I see you managed to see me coming, but even you can't change what you know will happen next," the evil one said staring at Clockwork.
"That is where you're wrong," Clockwork used his staff to flee from the evil one and managed to get away just in time.
"So the hunt begins, just like I thought it would, ha," the evil one said as he turned around and floated out of Clockworks place. "Destroy everything." And so Undergrowth, Vortex, and Fright Night started to blow the place to pieces as the evil one glared at the vast space known as The Ghost Zone and said, "It is only a matter of time."
Author Note: There, end of the first chapter, hope you liked it, the next chapter will be uploaded in May or sooner if I find the time to write it. As for the story if you think Clockwork told Danny and Ember his full plan you are mistaken because Clockwork has a few surprises in store for everyone even the evil one. As for the whole Danny and Sam thing at the beginning had to do they are dating, but that will change.
Thanks for reading and reviewing.
