Author's notes
A big thank you to all who have reviewed The Phantom Twins Season 4 so far. I'm really glad to see so many people enjoying this new season.
Also for those who don't know but I have a Facebook page called Mikaela2015 Fanfiction where I post status updates on each chapter of some of my stories, posters I have made along with LooneyAces for our upcoming collab fanfic in 2018, book covers for each of the Phantom Twins seasons and what I plan hopefully to write when it comes to Danny Phantom fanfics and crossovers with Disney movies in the future.
TIME TROUBLE
In the secret lair of Vlad Plasmius, he was currently keeping an eye on the monitors for any signs of more pages of Sojourn's journal in order to find the Amulet of Kyba he's been so determined to gain lately.
He was also keeping a sharp eye on Danny and Dayla in their day to day activities, during the previous fights he was able to plant new spy bugs in their home and around the places they hang out. Suddenly Fright Knight came into the lair and bowed before him.
"Pardon for the interruption master, but I bring good news" Fright Knight said.
"Go on" Vlad said.
"I have discovered that the next page is due to appear near Clockwork's lair on Friday at noon" Fright Knight said as he stood up.
Vlad grinned a sickening smile at the sound of that. He then said, "That is good news. Good news indeed. I shall retrieve the page myself Fright Knight, stand by for now and keep your eyes and ears out for any more information about the next page"
"Yes sir" Fright Knight said and then left the lair.
"This is turning out to be a truly magnificent day" Vlad said and then laughed evilly into the air that it bounced off the walls inside his lair and echoed all around him.
It was another history class with their teacher Mrs Frank on a Thursday afternoon, she wrote on the blackboard as she was finishing her class History Presentations.
"I won't be able to explain this tomorrow since you all have no school for Teacher's Day Off. For homework this week, I want you all to partner up in pairs and pick any moment or person in history. It can be on a person during 1930's Chicago, World War II, during the pirate era etc. Presentations are due next Thursday and they are to be done in front of the class" Mrs Frank explained.
The bell then rang and everyone got out of the classroom to get their stuff from their lockers and head for home. Danny, Dayla, Andrew, Sam, Tucker and Valerie headed for the Nasty Burger as they sometimes usually do after school.
"So Valerie do you want to be my partner in this history project?" Tucker asked as they sat down with their food.
Valerie smiled and said, "Sure. Any ideas on what part of history you want to do?"
"We could do World War II" Tucker suggested. "What are you guys gonna do?"
"Andrew and I are gonna research Elliot Ness who led a group of nine federal-law enforcement agents against Al Capone in 1930's Chicago" Dayla answered.
"Cool. Danny and I are actually gonna do our project on Edward Teach also known as Blackbeard the Pirate" Sam answered. "And hey if you two want, you can actually speak to my grandma on World War II. She was there at the time and has this really amazing story about her friend who was in Germany"
"Thanks Sam" Valerie said. "What happened?"
"I'll leave that to Grandma to tell" She answered.
Danny then thought of an idea and said, "You know there is someone else who could probably us out with this project. Someone we know who has a way with time"
"No" Dayla quickly said.
"You don't even know who I was gonna suggest" Danny said.
"Yes I do. You were gonna suggest Clockwork and there have been times, when we messed with time something bad happens" Dayla said.
"Oh come on! Name one time" Danny challenged.
Dayla crossed her arms and said, "A year ago, we tried to stop the accident that gave Vlad his powers. Should I remind you of what happened when we stopped that?"
"Okay but that was once accident" Danny said. "And beside we're not going to ask Clockwork to send us back in time, I mean we can ask him to let us view time. Just from the screens, no time travel, no trying to change things. Just some good old fashion research for an important homework assignment"
"I'm in" Tucker said. "It could be cool and we could get a head start on our project"
"Okay I'm in. Besides I have rarely been to Clockwork's tower, a full look at the place might be awesome" Valerie said.
"I'm in if all you guys are in" Sam said. "How about you Andrew?"
"It might be fun. I'm in" Andrew agreed.
"Well Dayla are you in?" Danny asked.
"Well…." Dayla started but then paused for a second. She then sighed as she saw everyone's faces and said, "Okay I'm in. I just hope that nothing comes back to bite us in the bum"
"Well if it does, you can go ahead and blame me Dayla" Danny said. "Okay we'll head to Clockwork's tomorrow at 10:30"
"Actually Danny can you make the meeting time 11:00? Dayla and I have need to go to the beach tomorrow morning at 9:30" Andrew asked.
"Yeah sure. Everything okay?" Danny asked.
"Yeah it's just….tomorrow's the anniversary of my father's death and every year I always visit the beach from 9:30 am to 10:30 am on that day" Andrew said.
Everyone was silent and they all gave him sympathetic looks. Danny said, "Do what you need to do man. We can wait"
"Thanks guys" Andrew said.
"If you don't mind me asking but…how did your dad die?" Sam asked.
"No it's okay Sam" Andrew said. "My dad Arthur Knight was in the US Navy. He was the commander of his ship the USS Brooklyn, sure his job took up most of his time but whenever he was on shore leave we enjoyed every moment we spent together. When I was nine years old, he told me that he had been offered a promotion at the naval base in Jacksonville and we were going to move there after his next shift, but as they headed out to sea there was a man with a bomb was heading for the city in his boat, threatening to blow up the harbor. My dad led the boarding party to stop the boat but even though they stopped the boat and got it away from the harbor, the man had set off the bomb taking my dad and six other crew members with him"
There was silence in the room. Dayla pulled Andrew into a hug and said, "I am so sorry Andrew"
"It's okay Dayla. He died a hero along with all the other sailors that were with him" Andrew said as he hugged her back.
"That's rough man. I can't imagine growing up without my dad" Tucker said.
"Neither could I. I already lost my mum, I don't ever want to lose my dad" Valerie then said. "I know what it's like to lose someone Andrew. My mum died in a car crash when I was 10"
"I'm really sorry about what happened" Danny then said and patted his shoulder.
"Thanks guys. I'm really glad to have really great friends like you guys and a really great girlfriend" Andrew said. "I don't know what I'd do if I lost any of you. Especially you Dayla"
"I'm not going anywhere. None of us are and you won't lose us or me" Dayla said with a warm smile and they both kissed each other deeply.
It was now Friday morning 11:00 AM and Vlad was preparing to go and get that page near the Time Master's lair. He then turned to the monitor screens and said as he was now viewing Jack and Maddie's lab, "I wonder what Jack and Maddie or even little Danny and Dayla are up to this week"
He watched as Danny, Dayla, Valerie, Sam, Tucker and Andrew enter the lab with backpacks on them filled, Danny and Dayla changed into their ghost forms and then Danny said, "You guys ready to go and see Clockwork?"
Vlad's eyes widened in shock at the sound of that and said, "What?! Drat! With them nearby, I won't be able to get that page without them knowing I'm there"
"Danny are you absolutely sure about this?" Dayla asked.
"We go in, work on our history homework for a bit and then come home" Danny said. "What's the worst that could happen?"
Vlad frown turned to a grin when he heard that piece of information. He then thought of an idea to keep them busy and said, "Oh you'll be doing so much more than your history homework Daniel. I guarantee that"
They hopped inside the Spectre Speeder and Andrew took the wheel and started heading for Clockwork's tower, they had arrived a few minutes later and parked the vehicle just outside the tower and entered the front door.
They headed upstairs where the screens were and saw standing there was Clockwork, he turned and smiled at them as he said, "Greetings young ones. I hope your journey here was safe"
"Yes it was. Thank you Clockwork" Danny said. "Anyway the reason why we're here is because we wanted to ask if you could…"
"Help you all with your history reports ranging from Blackbeard of 1718, Eliot Ness of 1930's Chicago and World War II? Clockwork cut in.
"Yeah. How'd you know that?" Valerie asked.
"Well I am the Master of Time. I do know everything from past, present and future" Clockwork answered with a smirk. "And to answer your question, yes I can help you with your schoolwork but I am not sending you back in time"
"We know that. We just want to look at the time periods from the screens" Dayla clarified.
"That I can do, but unfortunately I will have to leave for a bit because the Observants have requested my presence for an hour or two" Clockwork said. "I will have to leave you all here alone. I will set the time screens on the time periods requested so you can work on your school work but please don't go messing with anything"
"We promise Clockwork. Nothing will be touched or messed with" Danny said.
He smiled at them and then started setting the three time screens to the time periods requested and then left. As they started writing notes down in their books, they were unaware that Vlad was watching them from the window invisibly. He looked down at his watch and saw it was 11:30 and the page was going to appear in less than thirty minutes, he entered the tower through the window and waited to make his move.
He remembered Fright Knight once telling about him Clockwork and about how his time medallions could keep people in different time periods when wearing them.
After ten more minutes, Danny stood up to stretch his legs and then walked over to another time screen in the far to see the other universe where his older counterpart Danny was part of the Avengers was on there again. He watched as the older Danny in that universe and his family and friends were greeting the other members of the Avengers as they arrived at Fenton Works.
Vlad then saw his chance and grabbed him by his arms. Danny shouted, "HEY!"
Everyone turned and saw Vlad holding Danny very tightly, he then threw Danny over to the others and then before they could do anything he sent out a wave of ecto energy which tied Danny to Sam back to back, Dayla and Andrew back to back and Tucker and Valerie back to back.
"What are you doing here Plasmius?!" Valerie demanded.
"Keeping you meddling kids out of my way" He answered simply.
He then walked over to where there were time medallions hanging and grabbed six of them, he ripped the gears off their black ropes that they hung on and replaced them with his dark ectoplasmic energy power. He placed the medallions around their necks much to their resistance and then grabbed Valerie and Tucker and threw them into one of the time screens and they both screamed as they fell through.
"TUCKER! VALERIE!" Everyone else shouted.
Vlad then grabbed Danny, Sam, Andrew and Dayla by their ropes and threw Danny and Sam in a different time screen and Dayla and Andrew in the one opposite of them. He then shouted as they fell through, "Enjoy your history lesson! I know I will!"
He then laughed evilly into the air as his plan to get rid of them worked and he could retrieve the first page without any interference.
1718
Danny and Sam appeared and landed on the sandy ground, the ectoplasmic energy that kept them tied together faded and they both stood up. They found themselves on a beach on an island.
"Where are we? When are we?" Sam asked.
"I don't know and I don't know why Vlad would sent us here but if we take off these time medallions, we'll be back at Clockwork's tower and we'll find out" Danny said and then tried to pull his medallion off.
But for some reason it wouldn't go past his neck, he kept pulling and pulling but it wouldn't move. Sam then tried but it was the same results, she then said, "Okay Danny remember when you asked what's the worst that could happen? Well guess what? It happened!"
"Vlad must have somehow messed with the medallions to make sure we don't get back easily" Danny said.
"We better see where we are" Sam said. "Then we'll plan from there"
They both walked up the hill from the beach and walked up the road, they then found a town with people dressed in clothes of the 1700's. Sam's eyes then widened and then she quickly pulled Danny to an alleyway.
"Sam what is it?" Danny asked.
"Danny I think I know when and where we are" Sam answered. "We're in the 1700's! Blackbeard's time period!"
"What?!" Danny asked in complete confusion.
"Vlad pushed us all in the different time windows that we asked him to open for us. Tucker and Valerie are in WWII and Andrew and Dayla are in Chicago in the 1930's" Sam clarified. "And we're in the time period we asked for, stuck for some reason"
"Oh no! The worst happened. Dayla was right, this came back to bite us in the bum" Danny groaned. "So what are gonna do?"
"First off you need to change into your human form and we need to get some different clothes on" Sam said.
"How come?" Danny asked. Sam groaned and said, "Think about it. We're in the 1700's and last time we were in 1600's, people thought I was a witch and nearly burned me at the stake and almost destroyed you because they thought you were an evil spirit"
"Oh right" Danny said. He then saw some old clothes and gave one to Sam as he changed into his human form. "We'll put these around us until we can get some disguises, either we find a natural portal to the Ghost Zone or Clockwork returns to the tower and helps us out. I just hope that the others are okay wherever or whenever they are"
1943- Nazi Germany
Meanwhile Tucker and Valerie had just gotten out of their ectoplasmic energy rope and found themselves somewhere in the woods. They looked around and couldn't figure out where they were but Tucker had a pretty good feeling about when they were in time.
"Where are we Tucker?" Valerie asked.
"Judging by the fact that Vlad pushed us inside the time portal that we were watching, we're in Nazi Germany during the 1940's" Tucker answered. "But the plus side is that if we remove the time medallions off our necks, we'll be back in Clockwork's tower"
They both then tried to remove their time medallions but they wouldn't come off. They both pulled harder and harder, tugged and tugged but still they would not come off at all.
"What the heck is going on?! Why won't they come off?!" Tucker asked in frustration. "They should be able to come off"
"It must've been Vlad's dark ectoplasmic power. He must have found a way to make sure we can't remove our time medallions" Valerie said. "So now what do we do?"
Tucker thought and thought and then said, "Hopefully a natural portal to the Ghost Zone will open up, otherwise we're stuck here for an hour or whenever Clockwork gets back from the Observants. We better start walking out of this forest and see if we can find a town somewhere and hopefully not run into any Nazi soldiers on our way"
They started walking out of the forest, unaware that some people had started following them. One of them whispered to the other one, "Those two are dressed weirdly for soldiers. You don't think their Nazi's do you?"
"No. There's no way Hitler would allow African Americans in his army and not to mention they're kids" The other one said. "We'll just follow them and see what they're up to"
1931- Chicago
Meanwhile in 1930's Chicago, Dayla and Andrew like all the other's discovered that their time medallions as well wouldn't come off. They remained hidden in an alleyway and watched as people walked passed.
"Oh sure let's visit Clockwork, it'll be fun, we'll get our homework done" Dayla mimicked Danny sarcastically. "Great now we're stuck in the 1930's until Clockwork helps us or we find a portal to the Ghost Zone"
"We better get some clothes from this era" Andrew suggested. "And then we can take a look around without people thinking we're weird"
"Okay. Wait here and I'll be right back" Dayla said.
She turned invisible and flew to a woman's department store and waited for the owner to go out the back.
"I really hate to do this but…" She said with regret as she grabbed off the shelves some clothes and then fled the store.
She then went inside a men's department and grabbed some clothes for Andrew, she then flew back to the alley and landed in front of Andrew.
"I hope these fit. We'll need a place to change" Dayla said as she handed the clothes to Andrew.
She looked around and saw an abandoned building and then dragged Andrew inside invisibly, they both went into separate rooms and changed into the clothes Dayla grabbed. They both then came out of the building after making sure no one was walking past, Dayla was in her human form wearing a green and brown cross patch skirt with a white shirt, stockings, black flats and a brown coat with a short brown hat.
Andrew was wearing a grey suit with black dress shoes and a grey fedora hat, in his right hand he had a black leather business case to carry their modern clothes in, knowing that if they accidently left them behind it could risk damage to the time stream and change the future. They both walked out onto the pathway and started walking around the city hoping to find a portal or at least hope that Clockwork would be back soon to help them.
"Well at least we learning about what it was actually like in the 1930's" Andrew said trying to brighten their situation up. Dayla nodded her head in agreement, "Yeah that's true"
An officer then tipped his hat at them and said, "Good afternoon. You kids better start heading home soon, these streets aren't really safe at night"
"We will officer. Thank you" Dayla said.
They continued to walk through the streets of Chicago as the sun began to set, Andrew then saw a newspaper on a stand and looked at the headline Successful raid! Eliot Ness and his team of Federal Law Enforcement officers stop illegal shipping of Alcohol.
"We are definitely in the time during Prohibition 24" Andrew said as they kept walking. "The question is why Plasmius went through all the trouble to send us into these different time periods"
"All I know is that he said he needed us out of the way" Dayla said. "But what exactly?"
Present Day- Ghost Zone
Meanwhile in the Ghost Zone, Vlad laughed as the first journal page appeared exactly where Fright Knight said it would be and grabbed it, he then flew off back to his lair. Clockwork had just come out of the Observants lair, shaking his head in annoyance but then his attention turned to the right as he saw Vlad flying through the air and then turning invisible.
"Where'd did he come from? He looks like he's in a hurry" Clockwork thought in his head but then suddenly his eyes widened as he felt something was going on in the time stream.
He then realised that Vlad had come from the direction of his tower and immediately started heading there at top speed as he thought in his head, "I have a really bad feeling about what happened. I just hope I'm wrong"
1718
Danny and Sam had just finished changing into a different set of clothes suitable to the time period they were stuck in, Sam had managed to find a light purple simple gown and Danny wore a white shirt with black pants and boots and a brown coat. Sam tied her hair back in a small bun as she remembered she read somewhere in a book that during the 1700's, women always wore their hair tied up. They put their modern day clothes in an old sack and Sam carried it around pretending it was just a bag full of laundry to make them look less suspicious.
"I have to admit that this is sort of cool Danny" Sam said.
"Yeah at least we can definitely tell Mrs Frank that we have been doing our homework" Danny joked.
They both laughed at that and suddenly…
BOOOM!
A cannonball flew right through the air and hit directly into a house completely destroying it. People started screaming and running as they heard, "PIRATES! PIRATES ARE ATTACKING!"
More cannonballs were fired at other houses, Danny and Sam ducked to the ground trying to avoid the debris flying everywhere. They looked up to see men with swords and guns chasing after people and running into houses stealing everything they could grab, leading the men was a tall man with a black beard wearing a black sailors coat, black boots, black captain hats and carrying a sword in his hand.
"Blackbeard" Sam and Danny both whispered.
They both got up and started running off, Danny was about to change into his ghost form but Sam said, "Not a good idea right now Danny. Too many people around"
"Okay so what do we do?" Danny asked as he looked behind him and saw some of Blackbeard's pirates chasing after them.
Sam looked around and then saw some forest up ahead and said, "Let's head for those woods. I have a plan"
Danny nodded and they both started heading for the woods as he said, "I really hope the others aren't dealing with any trouble wherever they are"
1943- Nazi Germany
Valerie and Tucker continued to walk through the forest, it started getting dark reflecting that it would soon be night. They could see that up ahead that they were soon going to exit the forest and could faintly see some train tracks just on the edge.
As they got closer, they were still unaware of the group of strangers following them. As they stopped for a second to catch their breath, they both were suddenly grabbed and dragged into the bushes, before they could scream hands covered their mouths and silenced them.
"Shhhh. We're not gonna hurt you kids, we just want to ask you some questions" A male voice said.
They both stopped struggling and kept still, they were then released and they turned to reveal the ones that had captured them was a group of American soldiers. The first one whose name was Jason then asked, "Are you Nazi's or not?"
Valerie and Tucker shook their heads as she answered, "No. Neither of us are Nazi's"
"Your obviously American, now what are you two doing all the way out here?" The second one whose name was Eric asked.
"Uh….we're special soldiers" Tucker lied. "We were on our way back to base when our…unit was attacked. Yeah and we were the only ones to…survive. Right Val?"
"Uh…yeah that's right" Valerie said playing along.
"You two seem a little young to be in the army" Jason said with a sceptical look.
Tucker shrugged and said, "Can never be too young to fight for your country right?"
"I guess, well if you guys are soldiers you two might as well help us with our mission" Eric said.
"What mission?" Valerie asked.
Jason pointed to the train tracks and explained, "We had received a report a couple of days ago that a train carrying Jewish people is heading this way to take them to the camp in Auschwitz. The train is due to arrive in less than twenty minutes from now. Our men and I are to intercept and rescue all of them"
"What do you need us for?" Tucker asked.
"You guys will put on these coats and pretend your Jewish, we were able to get someone on the inside to tell whoever is in charge of that train to make a stop here in order to pick up some Jewish people that was captured" Eric started explaining as he showed them a couple of coats with yellow stars on them. "I will be dressing up in a Nazi uniform pretending to be a soldier and holding you two, once they stop that's when we attack and get all those people out of there"
"You two in?" Jason asked.
Tucker gestured for them to give them a minute to think and then he and Valerie walked away from them a little bit and started whispering to each other. Valerie started and asked, "What do you think we should Tuck?"
"I think we should help, so far we haven't found a portal to the Ghost Zone and we don't when Clockwork will get back to the tower. I say we help them" Tucker answered.
Valerie nodded and then they turned back to Jason and Eric and Tucker answered them, "We'll help you"
"Thank you. Now let's get ready" Jason said.
1931- Chicago
Andrew and Dayla kept walking through the streets of Chicago, they suddenly heard some noises going on in alleyway. They walked down in and hid at the corner to see a few men in suits beating up another guy in a suit.
"How did they know about the shipment?!" One of them demanded in anger after the guy was punched. "How did they know?!"
"I…I….do-don't…know" The guy that was being beaten up weakly answered.
The man picked him up by his collar and sneered, "You're lying. Now I won't ask again. How did they know about the shipment?!"
When the man didn't answer, he shoved him into one of the other guy's arms and got ready to punch him again.
"NO!" Dayla shouted.
The men turned at the sound of her shout and saw her and Andrew standing there around the corner.
Dayla chuckled nervously and said as she rubbed her neck in embarrassment, "Oops"
"GET THEM!" The man ordered and then the other three men started chasing after them as they ran.
"Wonderful! Now we're being chased by gangsters in 1931! Thanks a lot Danny!" Dayla shouted. "Things have officially gotten worst!"
"We can worry about that later, right now we need to figure out how to get these gangsters off our backs" Andrew said as they ran.
"If I can change into my ghost form, I could overshadow one of them but I need somewhere where they won't be able to see me" Dayla said back.
Andrew looked ahead and saw an alleyway coming up near a fruit stand and then got an idea, he stopped and pushed the fruit stand over sending all the fruits all over the ground and then dragged Dayla into the alleyway.
"Andrew what are you doing?" Dayla asked as they hid behind the trash cans in the alley.
"Giving you some time so you can change into your ghost form" Andrew answered. "When they come down, I'll distract them while you overshadow them and then we'll take care of the other two"
Dayla nodded and changed into her ghost form and then turned invisible just as the gangsters came into the alley. The first one then demanded as they held their guns out, "Come on out! We know you two are here so come out!"
Andrew then started and walked out with his hands in the air and said, "Okay. I give up"
He stood still and the first gangster asked, "Where's the girl that was with you?"
"What girl?" Andrew lied.
"Don't play dumb with us kid. There was you and that girl back in the other alley. Now where is she?!" He shouted getting impatient and angrier by the second.
Dayla made her move and flew inside the third gangster that was standing beside the second one and took over his body. The first gangster then said, "I'm gonna count to three and you had better give me an answer"
"One…two….." The gangster started counting when Andrew continued to remain silent.
"THREE!" They heard the third gangster (Dayla) shout and before they could do anything, the third gangster (Dayla) knocked the first one out with the handle of the gun he/she was carrying.
"What the…" The second gangster began to say in shock but was cut off as Andrew ran up and delivered a kick to his gut.
The second gangster dropped his gun and held his sore stomach and then Andrew punched him in the chin and then was knocked down by the second gangster (Dayla) and he fell unconscious. Dayla then came out of the gangster who groaned and held his head in pain, he then looked to the ground and saw his unconscious comrades on the ground.
He suddenly felt two hands tap his shoulders and turned around to suddenly be punched in the face by Dayla and Andrew right in the head and he fell to the ground knocked out cold. Dayla changed back into her human form as she and Andrew dusted her hands.
"Okay I will admit that fighting gangsters in the 1930's is actually pretty awesome" Dayla said.
Andrew laughed and said, "Yeah, this will be a great story to tell one day"
Suddenly there was a bright flash of light at the wall behind them and before they knew it, they were pulled in along with the briefcase that had their modern clothes and everything and the portal disappeared. A police officer then walked by and saw the unconscious gangsters on the ground and ran over to investigate.
1718
Sam and Danny hid amongst the bushes in the forest and watched as the three pirates that were chasing them before entered the woods and started looking for them.
"Are you sure this is gonna work Sam?" Danny whispered as he finished wrapping the old ragged cloak around him.
"Absolutely. I remember reading about this somewhere at the Skulk 'N' Lurk that pirates are very superstitious" Sam said with a slight laugh. "Now get out there and spook them"
Danny turned invisible but leaving the cloak visible like that time he thought that doing this was a good idea for his haunted house room. Sam then rattled the bushed to gain the pirates attention, all three of them stopped as they heard the noise.
"Did you hear that lads?" One of them asked.
"It came from over there" Another one answered as he gestured to the bushes where Sam and Danny were hiding.
Danny then started moaning, the pirates froze at the sound of the haunted voice and then suddenly Danny sprung from the bushes and shouted, "BOOOOO! BOOOOOOOO! FEAR MEEEEEE!"
"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" All three pirates screamed and then ran away as they continued screaming, "It's a ghost! / RUN FOR IT! / IT'S THE HAUNTING SEASON!"
Sam and Danny laughed hysterically as they turned visible. Danny then said as he laughed, "I can't believe they fell for that"
They continued to laugh at the prank they pulled but then they stopped as suddenly there was a flash of light and they were both pulled into a portal, their screams echoed as they were pulled in and the portal disappeared.
1943- Nazi Germany
Eric, Tucker, Valerie had finished putting on their disguises and waited by the train tracks, they suddenly heard the sound of the train coming down the tracks and heading their way.
"Remember to keep your heads down" Eric reminded them.
They both nodded as the train started slowing down as it came closer towards them, they kept their heads down as the train came to a complete stop and Eric kept his gun pointed at them pretending he was holding them prisoner.
Two Nazi soldiers from the front cart of the train came out and walked up to them. The first soldier then asked with his thick German accent after saluting, "Are these the Jews you caught?"
"Yes sir. We caught them trying to flee the country" Eric lied putting on his best fake German accent.
The Nazi soldier sneered at the sight of Tucker and Valerie but before he could say anything else, Valerie kicked him in the shin and then Tucker punched him right in the face.
Eric shouted as he hit the other one with the handle of his gun, "NOW!"
Jason and the other American soldiers then sprung from the bushes and surrounded the train, one of them then handed Valerie and Tucker a couple of guns and they all aimed at the other Nazi soldiers and the train conductor and engineers and shouted, "Surrender and drop your weapons!"
The Nazi soldiers did nothing at first but then Jason fired a shot right near one of their feet causing them to jump back in front. Jason then said, "That was a warning. Don't make the second one the real shot"
All the Nazi soldiers then dropped their weapons and surrendered, the American soldiers then started rounding up the Nazi soldiers and tied them to the trees. Tucker, Valerie and some of the other American soldiers started opening up the train doors revealing so many Jewish men, women and children looking frightened.
"It's okay you're safe now. We're gonna get you out of here" Eric said.
All of them started walking out of the compartments, each of them saying thank you to the soldiers for their rescue. A little girl about eight years old that was standing with her mother and father suddenly walked up to Valerie and wrapped her small arms around her in a small hug.
"Thank you" She said in a small voice.
Tucker and Valerie smiled at the little girl sadly and then Valerie kneeled down and hugged the little girl back. Her mother and father then walked up to them and shook their hands as well as gave them huge hugs.
"God bless you dears" The woman said as tears of happiness fell down her face.
"We shall remember you always" The man said.
"Your welcome" Tucker said.
The small family then joined the others and started heading with the other American soldiers to their base camp. Eric and Jason then walked up to Tucker and Valerie and saluted to them as Jason said, "You two were brave for a couple of teenagers. We thank you for your help"
Tucker and Valerie saluted back and then Eric asked, "Would you two like to come back to our base camp? We can call whatever unit you're with from there"
"No we'll continue on" Tucker answered. "Our base shouldn't be that far from here anyway"
"Well then carry on soldiers" Jason said and then he and Eric left with the others.
Tucker and Valerie continued on their way and crossed over the train tracks, suddenly a flash of light appeared and standing before them was a portal. They were both suddenly dragged into it and they both screamed as they were fully pulled in and the portal closed.
Andrew, Dayla, Danny, Sam, Tucker and Valerie all landed on the floor of Clockwork's tower out of each portal. They all groaned as they sat up but then smiled as they saw that they were back and Clockwork was floating there.
"Clockwork! Thank goodness your back. You wouldn't believe everything that happened" Danny said.
"Sorry for the wait. I was just coming out of the Observants lair when I saw Plasmius flying away from the direction of my tower and then I felt something major going on in the time stream" Clockwork said as he helped them stand up. "So much for not going back in time huh? But I can't blame any of you, I had a feeling that this had something to do with Plasmius"
"Yeah. He pushed us into each different time period" Andrew said. "He said something about getting us out of the way but for what we don't know"
"You wouldn't happen to have any ideas on why do you?" Dayla then asked.
Clockwork did have an idea why Vlad wanted them out of the way, but he decided it was best not to tell Danny and Dayla just yet exactly what Plasmius was up to. He would tell them eventually when the time was right, but in order to keep the time stream in order he had to keep it a secret from them for now.
"No. I'm sorry but I'm not sure just yet" Clockwork lied. He then turned to the time screens and said, "Unfortunately we can't leave any evidence of you six being in those time periods, they could permanently alter the time stream. I'm resetting time just before all of you arrived in those time period"
They watched as the time reset on each time screen, their medallions then floated off their necks and into Clockwork's hands. Sam then asked, "How come we weren't able to remove the time medallions"
"It seems that Vlad Plasmius's newfound power has some powerful uses, if it wasn't for the fact that I'm the Master of Time I probably would not have been able to remove them from around your necks" Clockwork said. "Dark ghost energy can be very powerful, dangerous and useful to the user in many different ways"
"Well I think we'd better head home guys" Tucker said. "I've had enough history lessons to last me a whole year. That and Valerie and I still need to visit Grandma Manson before heading home"
"Thanks for everything Clockwork" They all said in unison as they grabbed their stuff.
"Your welcome and good luck on your history projects" Clockwork said with a smile.
They all hopped inside the Spectre Speeder and flew back to Fenton Works, they parked the vehicle in the lab and then headed upstairs to change out of their wardrobe and back into their normal modern attire.
They all said their goodbyes and headed for each of their homes, Tucker and Valerie went with Sam to her place to go and see Ida. Ida smiled at Valerie and Tucker and began to tell the story about her friend who grew up in Germany during World War II while her family moved to America to be safe from the war, after the war she and her family moved to America and she had told Ida how a group of American soldiers stopped the train she was on heading for Auschwitz and rescued them all.
Tucker and Valerie's eyes widened as they heard that story as they both realised that the soldiers they helped was the exact same ones from Ida's story. They had helped save Ida's friend in 1941! When they told Sam and everyone else later during that week, they were completely shocked and amazed about what happened, they had finished their projects and were ready to present them by Thursday's class.
THURSDAY- MRS FRANK'S HISTORY CLASS
"…World War II ended on September 2nd 1945. Catherine and her family moved to America where she told her story to her friend Ida Manson about her incredible rescue" Valerie finished their speech as she and Tucker presented their project on the projector.
The class clapped and Mrs Frank said, "That was amazing! I am so impressed by yours, Danny and Sam's and Dayla and Andrew's projects on the subjects you chosen. You all spoke like you six were actually there during those times. Well done!"
Danny, Dayla, Sam, Tucker, Andrew and Valerie gave a wry smile as Tucker and Valerie sat down, knowing that they did actually go back in time. They all celebrated the success of their projects at Nasty Burger and since it was actually Danny's idea in the first place to go to Clockwork in the first place and Dayla was right that something was going to go wrong, they all made Danny pay for their meals on his tab.
Meanwhile in the Ghost Zone, Vlad grinned as he changed into his human form and placed the journal page in a secure safe in his lair.
"One page down and two more to go" Vlad said with a grin, unaware that Clockwork was watching him.
He looked at the time screen and watched the future to come, he saw a huge battle between Vlad Plasmius and Danny and Dayla.
"With every darkness, there is light and hopefully the light will prevail" Clockwork said.
THE END
