Disclaimer I don't own Danny Phantom. This is just a story for fun.
It was night time in Amity Park. At FentonWorks the Fentons were all asleep. Everything was calm and relaxed. In the lab there was a huge energy surge as a flash of light appeared and vanished just as quickly. Two humans laid on the ground groaning. One was a old man with a cane wearing a tattered suit and the other was a women in her twenties wearing a jumpsuit. With a groan the two humans stumbled to their feet and looked around confused.
"Where are we?" Asked the female.
"I don't know it's to dark to see, but I think think were in some kind of lab." Said the male.
"Wait. How are we here I thought since the past was changed our timeline wouldn't exist anymore?" Said the female.
"I'm...not sure. My guess is that we either exist in some new future timeline or that some kind of force has kept us from being erased." Said the male.
"We'll whatever the reason is, lets find out where we are first." Said the female.
"Good idea. There must be a light switch somewhere." Said the male as he and his companion searched for a light switch.
The two humans patted around the room searching for a light switch, unbeknownst to them they had set off a silent alarm. In Jack and Maddie's bed room their computer watches went off.
"Aaaa...ghost! No boogie man...takes Jack Fenton!" Shouted Jack half awake as he jumped out of bed, tripped on his bed sheets and hit the floor.
Maddie sprung from bed ready for combat.
"Stoping fooling around dear, we have intruders in the lab." Said Maddie as she helped Jack up.
"Ghost?" Asked Jack.
Maddie looked at the scanner on her watch.
"It doesn't to appear to be any ghost. According to the scanner there are two humans in the lab." She said.
"That's odd. We better wake up the kids." Said Jake.
They went into the hallway to find that Danny, Dani, and Jazz were already awake having heard Jack's tumble.
"What's going on?" Asked Jazz with a yawn.
"There's a couple of intruders in the lab." Said Maddie.
"Ghost?" Asked Dani.
"No. According to the scanners the intruders are human." Said Maddie.
"What kind if people, would want to break into the lab?" Asked Jazz.
"I think it might be The Guys in White. They must be after blueprints or files." Said Danny as he went ghost.
"Who are they?" Asked Dani as she went ghost.
"Ghost hunters from the government. They shoot first and ask questions latter." Said Danny.
"We'll they picked the wrong ghost lab to try to rob." Said Jack as he, Maddie, and Jazz pulled out blasters.
The group went down to the lab door ready for battle.
"I'll go in first." Said Danny as he slowly entered the lab. "Man it's dark down here." He thought as he lit his hand up with energy so he could see.
He went deeper into the lab and saw two figures stumbling around blindly in the dark. Before Danny could say anything the two figures spun around and saw the light. The light only illuminated Danny's chest and hand.
The two humans starred at the newcomer, whose hand seemed to be glowing with energy. They couldn't make the whole figure out, but they saw a giant D on his chest. The symbol was worn by a being, who had fought and tortured the two humans in their timeline. The sight of the symbol sent a mixture of hate and fear through the two humans.
"It's him!" Cried the male.
The female didn't say anything and simply pulled out a blaster and fired an energy burst in one quick movement. The blast hit Danny and sent him crashing into a wall. Danny's light went out as he laid moaning on the floor.
"Danny!" Called the rest of his family as they came charging into the lab.
Dani, Jack, and Maddie fired off energy blast at the two intruders forcing them to retreat further into the lab. Maddie stumbled around looking for the light switch.
"Found it." She called as she flipped the switch.
The entire room was flooded in light and the Fentons got a real good look at the intruders. Danny, who was still lying dazed by the wall looked at the two intruders in shock.
"What...you...guys!? But how can you still exist!? How...did you get here!?" Cried Danny in shock as he got a real good look at the intruders.
The male was an old man with bare feet, a beard, dark circles under his eyes, clothed in a tattered suit, and holding a cane. The women was tall and muscular, wearing a red jumpsuit and sporting a crew cut.
"Vlad? Valerie?" Asked Danny as he starred at the two future versions of his old enemy and old friend in shock.
The Fenton family starred in confession at the two intruders as they starred back at the Fentons. In am instant all the Fentons except for Danny had their weapons and powers trained on Vlad, who still seemed shock to see the Fentons and just starred a Jack and Maddie not really seeming to care about the weapons and attacks trained on him. Valerie was just starring at Dani not really paying attention to all the weapons and attacks trained on Vlad. Danny quickly flew between the Fentons and Vlad.
"Wait don't attack!" He shouted.
The Fentons lowered their weapons and attacks in confusion.
"What are you doing that's Vlad!" Called Dani.
"That slippery serpent must have some kind of mind control device controlling Danny." Said Jack as he tried to get a clear shot at Vlad with his weapon, but Danny blocked his way.
"I know this is Vlad, but his not the Vlad from our time and that's not the Valerie from our time either." Said Danny indicating both intruders. "Remember that whole time travel story I told you all about where I encountered Dan the evil future version of myself, well these two here come from that same timeline." He explained.
"We'll that still doesn't explain why your protecting Vlad." Said Maddie.
"This Vlad is no longer has his ghost powers and his shown repentance for his misdeeds. If it weren't for him I wouldn't have been able to return to the present and stop Dan from killing you all." Explained Danny.
The Fentons lowered the weapons and attacks, but still eyed Vlad with suspicion. Danny faced the two guest from the future.
"Hello Vlad. Hello Valerie." He said.
Vlad and Valerie turned to look at Danny.
"Do you remember anything before you ended up here?" Asked Danny.
"I remember...you rescuing me and losing consciousness. Then I woke up in a bunker hospital. I went outside...and Vlad showed up and told me about his encounter with you. Then Fright Knight showed up with Dan's army and attacked. We were fixing to be killed by Fright Knight, when everything started changing. Buildings that were in ruin vanished and were replaced by new buildings, the Fright Knight and the ghost army vanished. We realized you changed the future and our timeline was coming to an end. I remember a bright flash then darkness, next thing I know me and Vlad found ourselves here." Said Valerie.
"We'll if your timeline no longer exist how can you still exist and how did you end up here?" Asked Jazz.
"I honestly don't know." Said Valerie.
A confused look suddenly crossed Vlad's face as he suddenly reached into his suit pocket and pulled out an envelope with a CW on it.
"I...don't remember having this." He turned to Danny. "I think this is for you."
Danny walked over and took the envelope and opened it. He pulled out a letter and started reading.
"Hello Danny,
by now two unexpected guest have probably just arrived in your lab. This was my doing. These versions of Vlad and Valerie are crucial in helping you deal with the challenges ahead. I know your probably confused, but do not worry all shall be explained in the future.
Sinisterly Clockwork." Read Danny.
"We'll that explains how these versions of Vlad and Valerie came to exist in our time." Said Maddie.
"Lets find you two somewhere to sleep. Will talk tomorrow." Said Danny.
They all went up stairs and pulled out some sleeping bags for the guest in the living room. Valerie was still looking at Dani.
"Can I help you with something?" Asked Dani.
"No...I'm good. It's...just great to see you." Said Valerie.
"You to I...guess. Well goodnight." Said Dani as she went to her room.
"Goodnight little sister." Whispered Valerie.
Vlad was watching Jack and Maddie pull out a sleeping bag.
"Here you go." Muttered Jack as he handed Vlad the sleeping bag and he and Maddie started heading to their rooms.
"Wait! Jack. Maddie. I just...want to say...I'm sorry." Said Vlad his voice full of regret.
This stopped Jack and Maddie in their tracks. Never before had they heard those words muttered by Vlad with such regret. They slowly turned to face Vlad and saw tears in his eyes.
"I'm sorry...for everything! I was a arrogant fool! Jack I'm sorry for blaming you for the accident and for all...those times I tried to harm and...humiliate you. You were my best friend and I let my pride...and jealousy taint our friendship. I understand now why Maddie chose you over me. Maddie...I'm sorry for being a creep and for trying to force myself into your life. It wasn't...right and I know that now. Your a person completely capable of...choosing who you want to be with. I respect your decision. I know I've done some horrible things in the past and I absolutely hate myself for that. After...I lost my powers and saw my mortality...I realized how much of a fool I was. I prayed for a day...that I could meet you two again to apologize to you and ask for your forgiveness." Said Vlad.
Jack and Maddie just starred at Vlad in amazement and shock without saying a word for several minutes. Finally Jack stepped forward.
"I forgive you Vlad. If my son can forgive you then I can to." Said Jack as he grabbed Vlad and gave him a quick embrace.
"It's...good to have you back Vlad." Said Maddie with a small smile.
"Thank you both so much." Said Vlad his spirits lifted a little. "May I ask what happened to the me of this timeline?" He asked.
Jack and Maddie glanced at one another then back at Vlad.
"Will discuss that in the morning." Said Maddie.
"You just rest up buddy." Said Jack.
The two of them left Vlad and Valerie alone. Vlad glanced over and saw Valerie looking at a picture of herself with her father and an older Dani.
"You going to tell her what happened to her in our timeline?" Asked Vlad.
"I guess so, she's tougher then she looks. She can handle it. It's...just good to see her even if this is another timeline." Said Valerie.
"I know what you mean. I finally made peace with Jack and Maddie. Maybe now...I can start forgiving myself. As for Dani can you throw in a good word for me to help make amends with this version of Dani?" Said Vlad.
"I will and don't be so hard on yourself. You changed...into a better person and I'm sure Dani will forgive you." Said Valerie.
"Thanks that means a lot coming from you." Said Vlad.
"We'll were in this crazy adventure together. I trust you. I wonder what kind of challenges Danny needs our help to deal with?" Said Valerie.
"I honestly don't know. I'm wondering what kind of trouble the me of this time caused in this timeline." Said Vlad.
"I'm sure some kind of explanation will be given." Said Valerie.
The two humans stopped talking and fell asleep wondering about the future.
To be continued.
