At the Alternate Clockwork's Tower, a bright light appeared and then disappeared, revealing Danny, Dayla, Dani, Dale, Sam, Tucker, Valerie, Andrew, Tabitha, Jimmy, Sonya and Annaya. They looked to see standing in the room was Older Danny, Older Dani, Kayla and Older Valerie.
"They're here again." Older Danny said to Older Valerie nervously.
"I did see the whole thing on the time screen dude." Older Valerie informed with her hands on her hips and a slight smile.
Valerie looked at her older alternative self and smiled as she said, "It's nice to see you again Older Valerie. You're looking well."
"Same to you." Older Valerie said with a smile.
"It's gonna be tough to explain to the whole team." Older Dani said, rubbing her neck.
"Definitely." Older Valerie said.
"I can't believe we're back. It's been so long, I just wish it was under better circumstances." Dayla said.
"I wish that too, but it looks like we'll need to hold off the reunion introductions at the moment." Older Danny said. "We need to know what's happening in Chicago."
"I'll need to make a quick stop to my craft that went down when I landed. There's something in there that I need and it's important in stopping Camila." Kayla said.
"Let's go then." Older Danny said.
They all headed to Kayla's craft so that she could gather what she needed. She looked all through the ship and then smiled as she found what she was looking for and held up a small device.
"What's that?" Sam asked.
"This device contains all the intel and information on the Keep II's specs and the drill." Kayla explained. "It should help us in our battle with Camila."
She tried turn it on, but her hope was short lived as it didn't seem to work. She tried again, but once again it didn't work.
"Shoot! When I crashed landed, it must've gotten damaged during the impact. I lost some data." Kayla said, frowning a little.
"Is there any chance to recover any of the data that was lost?" Andrew asked.
"I should be able to, but it may be difficult." Kayla answered.
"Can I see that, your Highness?" Older Danny asked, holding out his hand.
Kayla handed the intel device to Older Danny and he took a good look at it the screen. He then said, "I'm sure Tucker can recover the data, but it might take hours. Let's head back to Fenton Works and see what's going on with Chicago. Hope they didn't start the harvest yet."
Older Danny, Older Dani, Kayla, Older Valerie, Annaya and Team Phantom began to head to the alternate Fenton Portal. They entered the portal and arrived in the lab of the alternate Fenton Works where the rest of alternate Team Phantom, except for Victoria, David and Trevor were waiting for them.
At that moment Sam, Tucker and Valerie finally hugged Older Sam, Older Tucker and Older Valerie much to their surprise. Normally Sam doesn't hug people except for Danny, but this is an exception since her along with Valerie and Tucker remembered when they watched what happened to Older Sam, Older Tucker and Older Valerie two weeks after they went back home the last time they were in the alternate dimension.
"Thank goodness you're okay!" Sam said, relieved to see her older self, alive and well.
"Alternate Sam, I'm fine. Everything's okay." Older Sam said, a little taken back by the hug.
Sam pulled apart from the hug and the said, "Sorry about that, it's just so good to see you're back and alive."
"We saw what happened to you guys with Thanos and everything." Dale said, looking down as he remembered when they watched the Decimation.
"Ever since we watched Thanos snapped his fingers, we've been worried about you guys." Dayla said.
"No need to apologise. I'll admit, it was terrifying being wiped from existence." Older Tucker said, shivering as he remembered that awful day.
"It was a good thing the Avengers, Danny, Dani and Valerie found a way to bring us back." Sierra said with relief.
"We also heard about your friends Tony Stark and Natasha Romanov. We're so sorry for your losses." Andrew said with sympathy.
Alternate Team Phantom, especially Older Danny and Dani looked down as they remembered their fallen Avengers. Natasha Romanov and Tony Stark had given their lives to not only find a way to bring back everyone who had snapped away from existence by the Mad Titan, but also to stop him once and for all.
"Tony and Natasha won't be forgotten. Danny and I managed to get Amity Park to have a monument to honour both Natasha and Tony as well as a future fallen Team Phantom members." Older Dani said, wiping the small tear that fell from her eye.
"Don't forget Steve. We may never see him again, but at least he enjoyed the life he wanted." Older Danny said, remembering and missing his role model and hero that he idolised as a kid.
"Well….welcome back to our universe and welcome to the year 2024 Alternate Team Phantom." Older Dani said with a smile.
"Anyway Tucker…." She began but then stopped when both Tuckers said at the same time, "Yes?"
"I'm still getting used to that." Older Dani said with a slight chuckle and then went back to being serious. "Older Tucker….Kayla has some info on the Keep II and the drill, but some of the data got lost when Dani and I shot her down. Think you can recover the data?"
"I should be able to, but I don't know how long it'll take though." Older Tucker answered.
"I'll try and give a hand. It may increase the time and two Tucker's are better than one." Tucker added.
"Okay, you two better get started. Time is critical." Older Dani said with a nod.
"By the way, Keep II?" Older Tucker asked.
"It's Camila's aerial ship." Kayla answered.
"Very original." Older Sam and Sam said sarcastically which caused the both of them to laugh a little.
"Anyway, update us on Chicago and what has happened while we were gone." Older Danny asked alternate Team Phantom.
Alternate Jack turned on the TV showing the news broadcast of what is currently going on in Chicago and said, "The Harvesters has Chicago and has assembled this towering structure at Lake Michigan."
"That's the drill." Kayla said.
"Wait….that towering structure is the drill?" Older Danny asked.
Kayla nodded and answered, "Yep."
"That's definitely gonna be a problem." Older Danny commented.
"Is it currently active?" Jimmy asked.
Alternate Maddie shook her head and answered, "The Harvesters haven't activated it yet, judging by this live broadcast."
"Let me see." Kayla said and looked at the news broadcast of the attack at Chicago and she paid closed attention to the drill and saw a long cable that stretched from the drill to the city.
She then explained, "Okay, I do have some information thanks to this broadcast as you called it. Looks like the drill got damaged since their last harvest, otherwise they wouldn't be using that long power line."
"Where would they connect the powerline?" Sonya asked.
"Normally, at a village's power source." Kayla answered.
"Where in Chicago would they connect at?" Dani asked.
"By what Kayla described, most likely a substation." Older Danny answered.
"Well, the US Army, Air Force, Navy and the Royal Canadian Air Force are doing their best to hold them off." Jacob said.
"But the main question is, how are we gonna stop them once and for all?" Venus asked.
"We'll just have to wait until both Tucker's recover the data." Older Danny answered.
"Anyway, it's great to see you all again." Venus said with a smile at Team Phantom.
"Same to you Venus. By the way, I like what you did to your hair. You look great as a brunette." Valerie complimented.
"Thanks." Venus said, still smiling.
"So I see there are some new people I don't recognised from the last time." Sierra said, referring to Jimmy, Sonya, Tabitha and Annaya.
"Guys, this is my boyfriend Jimmy Olsen." Dani said, introducing her boyfriend.
"It's nice to finally meet you all." Jimmy said, shaking their hands.
"It's so weird to see an alternative version of Dani with another guy." Sierra said.
"I know right? I'm so used to Dani and Jacob." Venus commented.
"It's alternate universes. What do you expect?" Jacob said.
"It's weird but whatever." Older Dani said. "I'm just happy that my alternate self finally did find someone as well as her twin brother."
"Speaking of, I want you all to meet my girlfriend Sonya Orlov." Dale said, now introducing his girlfriend to the group.
"I know most of your names thanks to Dale and Dani." Sonya said shaking their hands next.
"Your last name, are you Russian?" Jacob asked.
"No, I was born here in America….well the America in our world anyway." Sonya answered. "My grandmother was originally from Soviet Russia."
"Nice." Jacob said with a nod.
"This is my cousin Tabitha Tasman, which all of us and Older Danny, Older Dani and Princess Kayla rescued." Andrew said while introducing his cousin.
"It's nice to meet you and very weird to see older versions of some of my friends or to be in a different universe." Tabitha said as she shook their hands next.
"It's nice to meet you too, and I'm glad to hear that you got rescued safely." Older Sam said.
"Thank you and I hope I don't have to go through that again." Tabitha said.
Everyone then turned their attention to Annaya. Danny then spoke to introduce her, "Alternate Team Phantom, allow me to introduce to you her Majesty, Queen Annaya, ruler of the Ghost Zone….at least in our universe."
At that moment, everyone except for Older Danny, Older Dani and Kayla bowed down in respect.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, your Majesty." Alternate Jack said.
"It's a pleasure to meet you all as well. Ummm….One thing Danny didn't say is that I'm the daughter of Pariah Dark." Annaya said, which made Tucker spit out his drink.
"You're Pariah Dark's daughter?! You're not evil like him?" Alternate Maddie asked.
Annaya shook her head and answered, "No and I'm glad to hear that this universe's Pariah was defeated fifteen years ago."
"Thank goodness." Older Jazz said and then asked, "So if you don't mind me asking, what happened with the Pariah in your world?"
"Similar story. Both Danny and Dayla defeated my father when they were fourteen years old and during their final year of high school, the Observants destroyed the Sarcophagus and Pariah along with it." Annaya answered.
They all nodded and then Jacob said as he introduced his cousin, "I think there should be one more introduction. Alternate Team Phantom and your Majesty, this my cousin Brooke. She's visiting town."
"It's a pleasure to meet you all….this is weird." Brooke said.
"Ghost things are weird cuz." Jacob said.
"Wait a minute, where's Victoria, David and Trevor?" Older Danny asked.
"They're locating Doctor Bauer. We're gonna need him again and the Phantom Blasters are on their way back with him." Alternate Maddie answered.
"Who's that?" Kayla asked.
"Doctor Manfred Bauer was a scientist who worked for Fenton Works with my grandfather in the 1940s, and they were friends until he betrayed him. He made an alliance with the Harvesters, which Hertha corrupted him, in his quest to find an ancient ghostly pyramid-shaped artefact called the Tetrahedron, which is now destroyed and once known as the Artefact of Clockwork's Tower." Older Danny answered. "He found it in 1948 and at the same year, he kidnapped Sam's grandmother in the process and almost killed Grandpa Fenton. He want to make Grandma Manson his queen in his world domination quest, but thanks to my grandfather, along with Sam's grandfather and another family friend of ours, they saved and rescued her. Grandpa Fenton also fought Bauer and during that fight, Bauer tried to harness the Tetrahedron's power with his bare hands, but he only managed to open a ghost portal and got teleported to the Keep where he would spend the next 69 years there before returning to Earth. He eventually ended helping us in defeating Hertha a year after his return."
"He may have had a dark past, but he came through for us and deep down, he's a good man." Sam said.
"The nerve of Hertha, corrupting this Bauer guy. If he was with Hertha for sixty nine years, he must know a lot about her." Kayla said, thinking about Manfred. "I shall have to have a talk with him when he gets here."
"Well, while we are waiting for both Tuckers to recover the intel and for the Phantom Blasters to get here with Manfred, you should all relax." Older Danny said.
