I failed them. I always do…by dying during a battle. I tried my best and now I'm getting a second chance by Clockwork. He pities me every time I fail and gives me a second chance…but this time he has an idea. Well, I never know until I try now do I?

Danny was not having a good day. He learned his girlfriend of 3 months had been cheating on him with Tucker. Ghosts have been coming out of the portal almost like on a schedule. And people were looking for a missing student known as James Steele who went to his school.

Danny knew James and knew about his past. James lived alone and was a constant target for bullies at school.

He, in a sense, was like Danny without the ghost powers. He always showed up to class beaten and bruised like Danny but the teachers refused to believe him about the bullies the A listers were. But something was up with one of the A listers as well. Star, Paulina's satellite, had joined the search in an attempt to find the missing boy. It was as if she was guilty about not stopping the A listers.

She came to class late always tired, and wearing sweats, as if she had spent all night trying to search for the missing boy.

Danny decided to ask Clockwork, he might know where James was.

"Master?" the teenage halfa called into his Master's tower. "Daniel. Please, come in. I have something to tell you."

Danny walked in and gasped, there lay James in a bubble of ghost energy seemingly unconscious. "James…" "This boy, his many possible timelines are being destroyed one by one and the James from each of those timelines are fusing back into James to make him complete. He doesn't have the memories of those timelines but their powers are slowly making him complete." "What do you mean?" "Time moves in all directions and all possibilities are possible but not in the same timeline. Where one turns left, another turns right and another turns back. This boy can do many things, heck, even somethings I can't predict. This James is almost whole again. He's almost done but…" that was when two Observers came in, "Clockwork. You know both Phantom and Steele are not to be in this timeline." Clockwork smirked and looked at James, "Young James, can you understand me?" the unconscious boy nodded and started to rotate in his bubble vertically. And his hazel eyes opened.

He growled at the Observers and said, "You think I wouldn't have caught on to your little scheme? Getting rid of me destroys timelines altogether! I don't want this to continue, so if I have to fight for my future…then fight I shall." He raised his hand and summoned a sword with a red handle which encased a clear diamond like jewel. Danny was surprised but decided to help the boy, "James, I'll help you. They said we need to die? Hah! Who gave them rule over us?"

James smirked at Danny and yelled, "Rune Enhance!" and the jewel in James's blade shined a brilliant purple and Danny could feel his energy being boosted as could James.

Danny and James soon emitted a purple aura and both rushed for the Observers. James got behind one of them and slashed with all his might but slashed into nothing. 'Shit. Using time as a tactic. This will be interesting…Not!' His eyes flashed blue as he saw Danny being zapped by both Observers. The vision cut out and James yelled, "Rune Blade, Shield my friend from harm!" the blade shined a brilliant yellow and Danny was soon engulfed in a yellow shield.

Before Danny could ask the shield blocked the oncoming attacks by the Observers. James smirked as they were caught off by as he yelled, "Rune Purge!" The blade soon a brilliant green and engulfed the Observers clouding their view of time.

James smirked and he felt the blade shine a brilliant white as did he.

"RUNE WAVE!" The boy yelled as he slashed horizontally sending a massive wave of energy into the enemies bodies. They soon teleported out and gave a dire warning, "You will soon see the error of your ways, Rune Blade Wielder. Make our words…you will not emerge alive. Just like our last string of successes: you will die!"

James rolled his eyes and walked over to Clockwork while sheathing his sword, "Clockwork, I need to get back to Amity Park." The Time Master nodded and along with Danny, James was warped to an alleyway near Casper High. Danny, still in ghost form, asked James, "You know who I truly am?" The boy nodded and smirked, "Now that I have some memories…yes, Danny Fenton…I know your identity." Danny sighed and changed back to human form.

"We should get to school. Everyone is going to be surprised to see you…you were missing for 10 days." Danny said as he checked his phone.

James nodded and both the town hero and his new friend walked off to school. Unbeknownst to them, a figure watched from a rooftop, "Daniel made a new friend. Very interesting."

The figure vanished into thin air after that statement.

Short chapter I know. But bear with me I'm getting back into his after that long ass hiatus.

Anyway, be sure to Follow the story if you want more and why not follow me for any other things I do in the future.

Until then, peace out.
