Hello all!
I apologize if in later chapters it get's...confusing.
I do not own the characters. I had fun working on this request. Hope you all enjoy!
Battle Cry
Dan waits patiently for his chance. Being stuck in a thermos of his own human parents creation was a cruel twist of irony, but his efforts in breaking the confounded contraption were finally paying off; a small crack in the side, too small for him to slip thru – that and ecto-proof wires were very visible – was starting to widen with each thrash he threw himself into. He had to stop though so that Clockwork wouldn't hear him, otherwise it would be another very long time for his escape and his plan to take hold. Hearing the ghost of time slip away, Dan rammed the side of the thermos once more. A loud crack flooded the thermos before the eerie green light fills the area as Dan finally escapes.
Clockwork emerges into the room, horror on his blue scarred face.
"But how…" Clockwork starts only to be hit with a powerful blast sending him flying.
"I know how my parent's inventions work. I know that after a certain amount of force and time, the thermos eventually brakes." Dan chuckles as he takes to the air.
"And I also know exactly where I'm going." Dan laughs as flies thru the air. Clockwork follows him, doing his best to keep sight of him but also stay out of his sight. He follows him to the realm of Pariah Dark, watches as he flies over the large foreboding castle to the smaller castle and suddenly he stops in his tracks.
"No, not them." Clockwork mutters as he watches Dan land and walk into the smaller castle. Getting closer he peers in thru the window and watches as Dan approaches the ten seemingly harmless objects.
"Ah, Pariah Darks ten strongest followers. Naturally, the pumpkin is Fright Knight, but I have not met the other nine. How about I do that, but first, the Knight." Dan chuckles as he pulls the sword from the pumpkin. Fright Knight emerges and kneels.
"Ready to serve you master." He says.
"Excellent, now, introduce me to the other nine. I have a plan for them." Dan chuckles.
"Certainly sir." Fright Knight says as he unlatches the tiny ring box.
"The Wailing Widow. Her husband was killed by her rebuffed lover, and so, he killed her as well. She haunted the man who killed her and her husband until he died of fright." Fright Knight says as a loud wail erupts from the box and a ghostly figure of a woman, fire and anger clear in her opaque red eyes.
"Charmed to meet you." Dan smirks as the angry looking female ghost glares back.
"Continuing on. The Screeching Banshee." Fright Knight states as he unlocks and opens the bird cages. A loud unbearable screech erupts as a white haired, winged figure whistles into the air.
"Perfect. Next." Dan smirks.
"The Bailing Baron." Fright Knight says as he cuts the chains away from the sophisticated jewelry box.
"Come on, I don't have all millennia." Dan near snarls, earning the attention of the released ones.
"Oh, and I thought he would be a pushover." The widow cackles.
"Ok, continuing on. The Murdering Marquee. The Vengeful Viscount. The Butcher." Fright Knight says in rapid procession.
"Wait. Just 'The Butcher'? Nothing else?" Dan asks with a cocked eyebrow.
"No further explanation is needed sir." The Butcher chuckles with the large, blood-stained cleaver in his hand. Dan shrugs before Fright Knight continues.
"The Jeering Jester. The Queen. And lastly, the Slaughtering Seductress." Fright Knight says. Dan smiles at the lineup of legendary and terrifying ghosts before him.
"So this is the Terrible Ten. I can see why the name suits you all, now I have a question." Dan smirks. Clockwork flies far away from the eleven evil ghosts back to his lair. He quickly looks ten years in the future and jumps thru the portal.
Daniel Fenton exhales in shock at the sudden cold that envelopes his home. Glaring, he shifts into ghost form before he spots an all too familiar face.
"What is it now Clockwork?" Daniel asks with a scowl.
"Your evil counterpart has escaped.' Clockwork gasps.
"Is that all? If that's the case that should be easy." Daniel chuckles.
"He unleashed the Terrible Ten." Clockwork states as he watches the color drain from his face.
"Hey honey is everything…why is Clockwork here?" Samantha asks.
"You two and the other two members of team Phantom have two hours to prepare yourselves for quite possibly the fight of your lives." Clockwork says.
"There are four of us, and eleven of them. It's gonna take more than just us!" Daniel shouts.
"That's why I'm suggesting you team up with the young ones." Clockwork states.
"Not the kids. They're only five and three." Daniel says as Samantha panics.
"I wasn't talking about the halfa's in training. I'm the ghost of time travel, who do you think I'm referring to?" Clockwork says with a smirk.
"You mean our younger selves? Are you crazy? Even with them we won't stand a chance." Samantha shouts. Clockwork smiles.
"You may be stronger now than you were back then, but keep in mind, back then, you could rebound and had uncontrollable bursts of energy that caused massive destruction to your opponents. Val has gotten better, Tucker is a lot craftier now, but back then, he was a great distraction. And well, Sam has only changed in what she knows, she's always been talented." Clockwork says. Daniel looks to Samantha before he lets out a sigh of defeat.
"I'll call your sister to watch the kids if you call Tucker and Valerie." Sam sighs as she pulls out her phone and turns around to see her three year old daughter.
"Why are we staying at Aunt Jazz's?" the small girl asks.
"Oh sweetie, mommy and daddy have a job that may take us away for a little while. We'll be back, promise." Samantha says as she calls Jazz. Danny shifts back to his human form before he calls Tucker.
"What up?" Tucker chuckles over the phone.
"Call your parents and tell Valerie that she needs to pack clothes for the kids. There's a huge problem that caused Clockwork to show up. We have two hours." Daniel says.
"Say no more I'll see you in thirty." Tucker says as he hangs up the phone.
Next chapter will be up shortly. Stay tuned!
