Outside of Time

Chapter 1: Blast from the Future

Wisconson. 10 years into the future

An elderly Vlad walked over to a desk on the other side of his lab. On top of it lay a pair of Ghost Gauntlets, untouched since that tragic day. He looked at them with a sad smile recalling what Danny had just said just seconds ago.

"Maybe that's all anyone needs, a second chance."

He slipped on his pair of ghost ghost gauntlets and looked back at the boy.

"So your saying there's a medallion lodged within you, keeping you rooted in the time period?"

"Yes, and I can't reach it." said the young teen. "But I'm guessing if you could reach into me and rip out my humanity, which by the way sounds totally gross, you can get the medallion out too. Then I'll pop back to my present like Tucker and Sam did."

Vlad just raised his gloved hands feeling an powerful energy flowing through them.

"Or I could just destroy you now and prevent this future." he said coldly his eyes now bloodshot. "Didn't think of that, did you?"

He lunged at Danny who was too shocked to move. A horrible scream pierced the air as he sunk his gloved hand into the teen. Almost as soon as he had pushed the glove into Danny's chest he found what he was looking for. The Time Medallion, he promptly pulled it from Danny's chest and the screaming stopped as Danny disappeared. Returning to his own time period.

Vlad just held the medallion in front of him. A prize worth much more to him that taking Danny's life. With this he could unlock the secrets of time, a power much greater than anything he had ever seen. He set to work right away, taking the still glowing gloves off and putting the medallion on a nearby lab table.


The present. Wisconson.

Vlad Plasmius was standing in his lab watching some videos recorded by his many sources of surveillance equipment. A fight between Danny Phantom and a highly advanced robotic ghost was playing, the two were currently floating above the streets of Amity Park.

"Stop, analysis."

Several boxes appeared on the screen focusing on the time medaillion around the robots neck.

"File 076 12LM." another picture of the robot appeared on another screen beside the first one. "Stop, anaysis." more boxes appeared on the window once again around the time medallion.

"File 076 12LV. Stop, Analysis." This time the video had showed the medallion falling off the robots neck.

"File 076 12MC." The new video showed the robot disappearing along with Danny and his friends. The medallion sat in the middle of the road lying untouched and unnoticed by onlookers of the fight. The video continued in fast forward for several minutes until traffic resumed. A car drove over the top of the medallion sending it to the gutter still unseen by anyone.

"Very well." Plasmius said to himself with a smile. "It may still be there. I had better not waste any time." He turned away from the screens before turning himself intangible and flying through the ceiling of his secret lab.


Plasmius flew invisibly above the city of Amity Park. In the distance he saw the large building that was Fenton Works. Underneath him was a partially destroyed Nasty Burger damaged in an explosion Vlad had seen on his videos. Vlad flew for just a little longer before he found the place he was looking for. A couple of broken flag poles and a damaged street light were the only signs a fight had occured here just an hour ago. Vlad looked towards the street and quickly found what he was looking for, a small glowing medallion lying ignored in the gutter, he swooped down and grab it without a second thought. He simply smiled as he slipped the medallion over his neck. Nothing happened, but that didn't surprise him. He simply left it in place and said quietly to himself.

"And now to wait. If Danny and his friends come back I want to find out where they went."

He flew towards Fentonworks knowing Danny would return their eventually.


Vlad waited invisibly in Danny's room. He didn't have to wait long for the teen to return. He stood in the corner of the room and watched Danny fly through the floor to stand in the middle of the room.

"My old room," he said walking towards the dresser, "And my old face."

"What's he saying?" Plasmius wondered. The door burst open and Jazz entered the room.

"Danny, we need to talk." she said with a nagging tone.

"And my old sister, Jazz." Danny said turning around. "What'd you want Jazz? I'm busy."

"Yeah, busy cheating." she said lifting the test answers she had found earlier. "Lancer was right, you did steal the answers. Don't you understand?"

"That I'll be destroying my future." Danny laughed and took the answers from Jazz. "You don't know the half of it."

"Something is wrong here. Daniel is acting strangely." Plasmius mulled over it for a few seconds.

Jazz's voice changed to a disappointed tone. "Danny, I know all of it, about everything. That your part ghost, that you were always doing the right thing with your powers, until now."

"You knew?" Danny said slightly shocked

"She knows?" Plasmius almost said aloud.

"I know, and I've been covering for you with Mum and Dad because I'm proud of you and the good that you do." Jazz put her hands on her hip. "But not anymore."

Danny smiled "You always were smarter than I gave you credit for."

A large white ring appeared around his waist. It separated and moved up and down revealing as it went this Danny's true form. Jazz stepped back when she saw this.

"Your, your not Danny?! Thats why the boomerang wasn't homing in on your ectosignature. Your not Danny!"

"I was. But I grew out of it." Danny said calmly, rubbing his fingers together, "The Danny you know is floating helplessly in the ghost zone 10 years in the future."

"What is going on here. The future? Is this Danny from the future?" Plasmius looked rather shocked but no one could see it. He looked briefly at the medallion around his neck before looking back at the brother and sister.

"He'll escape. He'll beat you."

"How? Is the answer A: The Fenton Portal? Destroyed it. B: The Only Remaining Portal? The one my idiot cheesehead archenemy has. As soon as I find it thats going too."

"My portal? Still exists in the future. Which means wherever this Danny has come from I must still be alive." Plasmius was thinking fast considering how much information he was taking in.

"Cheesehead? Vlad Masters? He's your archenemy?"

"Is it C: You? No. You can't stop me from cheating on the C.A.T. and solidifying my future, so it much be D: None of the above." Danny shot an ectobeam at Jazz which harmlessly knocked her out. He then transformed back into his human half and opened the test answers.

"Well what'd you know, the answer the to first question is D."

Danny looked at his now unconcious sister and quickly decided what to do with her. He carried her across the hallway to her room and put her in her bed. Plasmius could only follow silently unsure of what to do next. When he was done Danny flew through the roof disappearing from sight. Plasmius decided not to follow him. Simply standing in the hallway taking a moment to get a grasp on what had just happened.

"So that was Danny. From the future. Something must have happened to him. The Daniel I know would never attack his sister like that." Plasmius decided to return to the room and he sat down on the end of the bed. "If that was Danny from the future, then what happened to our Danny? More importantly, how can I take advantage of the situation?"

Vlad smiled. The introduction of this new Danny could be very interesting indeed. Vlad pondered over it for the next few hours remaining hidden within Fenton Works until the other Danny returned later in the evening. This time Danny used the front door to enter, not wanting to draw any attention to himself. He grabbed some food from the empty kitchen and looked downstairs into the ghost lab to see his parents working on their newest invention. He didn't bother them and instead took his food upstairs to his room. When he entered he found a now visible Plasmius standing in front of the dresser.

"You." Danny said rather calmly. "What do you want this time."

"No need for charades dear boy. I know who you are." Plasmius said with a smile, "And I have a few questions for you."

Danny closed the door behind him before transforming into his ghost self.

"You've grown since I last saw you Daniel, how longs it been?"

"10 Years." Danny said with a cold smile. "But you already knew that didn't you."

"It was one of the things I overheard earlier." Plasmius said. "I would have found that hard to believe had I not seen the power of this medallion earlier today."

"Clockwork." Danny said carefully. "So he's been meddling here too."

"Clockwork?" Plasmius said with a smile. "Is he the one who made the these medallions?" Plasmius had also noticed the medallion around Danny's neck. Plasmius quickly drew his conclusion. "So I merely have to take that medallion from you and you'll leave this time period?"

"That is correct. If you are planning to take it from me then you should know that I am a lot stronger than the Danny you know so well."

"You would be very interesting to get to know Daniel. But unfortunately your too much of a threat. I must study this medallion to learn its secrets. And I can't have you running around here messing up my plans like your younger self always does."

"Sadly for you I must remain here to ensure my future. If you truly wish to fight me then we must do it where nothing will be changed."

"Very well Danny." Plasmius laughed before taking off through the ceiling.

Danny followed shortly afterwards and soon both of them were high in the sky above Fenton Works.

"Its been such a long time since I've had a chance to really test my strength" said Danny with a huge smile. "It really was a pity I could never test my powers against you. Until now that is."

"What do you mean?" Plasmius looked confused "What happened to me in the future?"

"Ha, I am you in the future. I absorbed your ghost half long ago."

"Absorbed my ghost half?!. How is that even possible." Plasmius was shocked and it was showing.

"I've never seen you so surprised. You used to be so calm, cool. But there are still things that surprise you." Danny laughed. "I have your powers and my own, there is no way you can beat me."

Plasmius collected himself. He was used to having the advantage when it came to emotions. The Danny he knew was an emotional teenager but no longer it seemed.

Danny flew at him firing off several ectobeams. Vlad dodged a few of them and blocked the others with an ectoshield created with the wave of the hand.

"You still fight like the Danny I know." Plasmius said smiling. "Although your beams are a little stronger. Do you have any tricks up your sleeves?"

Danny said nothing at flew at him again. This time Plasmius attacked back so all Danny could do was dodge. Soon they were right next to each other and Danny made an attempt to grab Plamius by the throat. Plasmius knocked away his hand before making another attack of his own, punching Danny in the face with a glowing fist. Danny was knocked back and before he could recover he was hit in the chest by a red ectobeam.

"Seems to me like your all talk." Plasmius smiled. "I was expecting more from you."

"I underestimated you. Perhaps you would like to see my newest power?"

"New power? What could you possibly have up hidden up your sleeve?" Plasmius had made the mistake of becoming over confident.

A high pitched wail filled the air, Plamius had no time to react as the powerful soundwave quickly approached and knocked him out of the sky. He almost lost conciousness as he fell but regained himself so he didn't crash into the ground. Instead he floated down softly and landed on a rooftop. He fell to his knees in pain and reverted to Vlad Masters to weak to maintain his ghost form.

"What was that? That power?"

But he didn't have the chance to think about it because Danny was now floating in front of him.

"You like it? I call it my ghostly wail." Danny smiled proudly. "Its a pity I can't finish you off now."

Vlad looked at him dazed and saw him fly towards the Fenton Works before falling unconcious.
