Authors Note: I don't own any of this! This is my first Danny Phantom fan fiction, but it's an idea I've had since like third grade, when the last Danny Phantom movie came out. It's long.
Summary: Older, evil Danny escaped, (of course he did, he's Danny Phantom, even if he is evil) and wants to make sure his younger self becomes evil. Meanwhile Danny (present Danny) deals with braces, bullies, and blooming romance with his best friend.
Prologue
In a place that exists on the outskirts of time, a thermos tips from where it's sat for along time, or no time at all, because there is no time there. The being within is freed. Laughing, red eyes glowing, he flies off, ready for revenge…
"Sam! Behind you!"
"Wha-" with a running leap, Danny Phantom, ghost boy of Amity Park grabbed Sam around the waist and pushed her out of Vlad's energy blast. They crashed into the weak floor which broke, and went spinning towards the next floor. "Danny, we're-"
"I know, I know!" Danny angrily bit out. They crashed through another floor, but only landed on the third. Dust flew everywhere, and Sam began to cough. Still on top of her, Danny put a finger to his lips and motioned for her to be quiet. Silent moments passed. Relief washed over his face. A cut ran down from his left eye to the bottom of his chin. "I think he's gone."
"Uh, Danny?"
"Yeah Sam?"
"We're not falling anymore. You can get off me now."
"Oh…Sorry."
"That's okay." Blushing, Danny quickly stood up. He put out a hand which Sam took. Bells went off in Danny's head, but he ignored them. He pulled her up, but his hand still lingered on top of hers. Awkwardly he bit his lip and rubbed the back of his neck, a sign he was nervous.
"So…"
"Yeah…" Luckily they were interrupted by a shout from Tucker, who was two floors up. Quickly, Danny grabbed Sam around the waist again, but this time they went up. Tucker was cornered by Vlad, fear in his eyes.
"What I wouldn't do for the Fenton Thermos," he complained. With eyes as cold as the ice coming from his hand, Danny nearly hit Vlad, had he not put up a force field. Vlad chuckled.
"You'll have to do better than that Fenton!" He mocked. Suddenly something on his wrist (probably his watch) beeped. "Oh fiddlesticks, I'm late!" Danny took advantage of the moment and green energy flew out of his hand. He probably would have gotten Vlad to if he hadn't disappeared in a flash. He nearly killed Tucker though. Danny groaned.
"Not again!" He kicked at a box. Inspecting his scorched hat, Tucker patted Danny on the back.
"Nice try Danny. You almost got him."
"Yeah. Almost," Danny bitterly replied. "I still didn't catch him." Sam sighed.
"Half ghost or not Danny, you're not perfect. Besides, you've been tired lately, not to mention you're probably stressed out about the big math test tomorrow…" A look of horror froze on Danny's face. Sam dropped her head in her hands. "You forgot about the test didn't you?"
"Yes."
"Danny!"
"Tough luck dude," said Tucker, trying to make Danny feel better, but not succeeding.
"I'm sorry. But with the ghosts, and-" he was interrupted when his watch went off. "Aghh! Ten o'clock! Dad's gonna kill me!" And then his ghost senses went off. Shivering, he cursed. "Crud! Vlad's back!"
Sam sighed. "How do you know it's Vlad?" Danny's eyes widened.
"Duck!" Tucker looked around.
"Where? I don't see a duck!" Sam grabbed him by the wrist and dragged him behind a dusty box. The spot where they were stand was now a scorching hole in the ground. Grinding his teeth, Danny flung ice towards Vlad, pinning him against the wall.
"I thought you said you had an appointment, Plasmius." The other hybrid chuckled.
"I did Danny boy, but it seems it was canceled." His mouth curled in a wicked smile. Sam looked from Plasmius to Danny.
"Danny, he's stalling!" But by the time Danny had heard her Vlad was free of the ice, and had already knocked Danny out of the window. When he hit the pavement, everything went black…
