Arthur's Note: I'm rewriting the whole thing. THE WHOLE THING. This is how serious I am about this fic. OK, so after this whole fic there WILL be a sequel. I GOT THIS! Also because its summer, I won't be updating frequently. But don't worry I'll diffidently finish this. Plus a big thanks to FaultyStars for helping me with character interaction.

Time Changes and Old Friends
Circling around his empty domain, Clockwork was humming through his work, viewing the many windows of time. Inspecting every single one individually, a smile crept on the corners of his mouth. Aware that each one was relaying to the current future, he descended from the floors towards the Omnis Quo.
The Omnis Quo, which was the oldest display in time ghost's domain, would transmit what the past would give to the dominant future. Of course, there are many outcomes of the future, but the Omnis Quo would always project the future that would most likely come true. Currently the vision showed of a positive future, a future where all ghosts and humans alike lived in a balanced peace. Everything was going according to plan.
Seeing that no change has occurred, he drifted away from the swirling green frame…swirling? Quickly turning around, the ancient soul lowered himself to gain a better view of the sudden change. Hoping for the best he mentally crossed his fingers, then his clock felt like it stopped ticking. As the green smoke disappeared, the image of a devastated Amity Park came to view.
Several lay wounded on the blood stained concrete begging for their lives, many already laid dead. Cracked buildings burned, the streets filled with chaos, and the air polluted with fumes and agonized screams. The young hero Danny Phantom stood tall in the sky looking deadly, and prepared for the ultimate battle. Then the impossible happened.
The young hero fell in defeat, with his crushed body meeting the harsh ground. As the terrifying villain darkly laughed at the pitiful hero, he raised his hand to send down the final blow. The final blow that would destroy all hope for humanity, all hope for freedom, all hope for survival, all hope in the end, the final blow that would come from Vlad Plasmius.
Speeding through his realm, the time ghost quickly checked through each timeline. Pinpointing any change that he could make, viewing the slightest possible missed detail, and calculating each movement that the two certain individuals would make. By at the end of his pursuit, it all seemed fruitless. Because no matter what changes he made, the outcome for the future came to the same conclusion. The end of all life and afterlife as he knew it.
Gripping his staff anxiously, the ghost of time found himself at a complete loss. Never in his immortal afterlife did he, by all means, know what to do during such an emergence. Not even the tricky Dan incident was this difficult to think through.
Knowing that the Observants would come soon for their usual inspection, Clockwork had to think fast. Desperate times does call for desperate measure.
Opening a swirling portal with his cane, he prepared to visit an old friend. A friend older than him, and time its self. The creator of all, Titan.
Going through the vortex, he entered a pasty white empty room. "I see that you haven't changed in taste all these years." Clockwork tightly smiled.
"Clockwork, my dear friend, what brings you here?" A voice sounded throughout the room.
"I seek…guidance," he wearily stared at the blank ground; he doesn't quite enjoy asking for help when it came to his timeline.
"I see." The voice hummed. "Is it time for you line to end?"
"End?" Clockwork's grip on his staff could have snapped the object. "I was never told I would meet my end."
"My friend, please, let me explain-"
"No, let me explain." he cut off the god. "Time has no end, there will be a past, a present, and a future always. Granted that my timeline will have a dark future, but a future non the less." Clockwork gritted out. His face looked ill, but his eyes were sparked with flames.
A humming noise rumbled around the room. Then a swirling image appeared before the time ghost.
"I apologize for I have misunderstood." Titan's apologetic voice came through. "Now I see that you came for the solution. I have thought you came too late, but I should have not underestimated you my friend."
"What do you ever mean old friend?" Clockwork questioned looking through the vortex that appeared. "And what does this have to do with a simple living girl?"
"Everything, yet nothing at all my friend." Titan appeared in front of the ghost.
The gods physical ghostly appearance was a skeletal figure, and his pitch black eyes seemed to bore into your soul. His white hair flickered around, as if made of flames, and his unclothed white skin looked almost transparent.
"For you see my friend, she plays a major part in your world." He opened another vortex with the swift motion of his boney hand. "If all goes according to plan, a bright future will be seen." Opening another portal, his voice dropped. "But if not, it will bring upon a darker future than you have anticipated."
Clockwork looked through the three vortexes showing a bright future, a dark future, and in the center of the two, an ordinary teenage girl.
So, what do you guys think so far? Also my favorite quote here is "And what does this have to do with a simple living girl?"
