Hello everyone, sorry I haven't updated this in so long. I've been busy with so many other things such as my job, my mental and physical health, and so many other things that have distracted me from this fic. I do still plan to continue it, but sadly I haven't had a chance to, and I can only update and focus on one fic at a time. I know this chapter isn't as long as the others, but it was the best I could do at the moment. I'm already working on the other chapter to follow up with this one, but I can't exactly give anyone a time frame on when it will be finished. I will try to not make everyone wait for so long in the next update, but still thank you all for your support.

Another thing is that I'm trying to stay on base to the original episode on this, but with so many twists and turns (time travel is difficult to write for me lol) I tried to play various scenarios in my head, and this is what I came up with.

Please read and feel free to leave a comment.

I do not own the cartoon Danny Phantom.

Danny flew in various directions searching desperately for the shadow creature that attacked them, but so far he couldn't sense anything. Not even his Ghost Sense was coming up, "What was that thing? Not like any ghost I've ever seen. I doubt it was Johnny's shadow either. It looked more feral and wild…and stronger."

Danny kept replaying the incident in his mind thinking, and slammed his fist into a nearby wall regretting that he didn't react fast enough to save Desiree. He decided to go back to see how she was doing unaware of the feral glowing red eyes that were watching him from a distance. He retreated back into the shadows until he was good distance away in an abandoned alleyway.

'W-What is happening?! What is this?!' mentally growled the shadow figure as he grabbed his head with his clawed hands.

'What are these memories?! Who was that girl?! I don't remember her from 10 years ago! I don't even remember anyone who looked like her?!' mentally groaned the figure as he felt his consciousness slowly fading. He slammed his head against the wall in frustration and anger while trying to stay in control, but could feel his power slowly starting to spiral uncontrollably. He was suddenly bombarded with a memory he never experience before.

Flashback

Chuckle "So I guess we both thought the same thing about each other", said Danny placing a hand on top of hers, "I know I'm not really good at this, or have any experience with these sort of things, but…would you like to go out with me?"

"I would love to Danny", blushed Desiree, "But let's keep it a secret from your family for now."

"Agreed", chuckled Danny, "So…does this mean that Desiree Phantasm would like to go out with Danny Phantom?"

"Only if you can keep up", giggled Desiree playfully nudging him.

"I'll take that challenge", chuckled Danny as they both shared a kiss.

End Flashback

"Desiree…Phantasm?" growled the figure placing his hand against the wall to hold himself up when he noticed part of his fingers slowly start to fade in and out without him activating his invisibility or intangibility, "How is this possible?! I have perfect control over my powers! No…This isn't my ghost powers. My existence is fading from the timeline. This has to be his doing. No other ghost has the power to alter time like this, but him!" growled the voice with his fading hand glowing until it became solid again, "I commend you for your effort, but this time, I'm coming directly after you Clockwork!"

Fenton Works

Danny quickly flew back towards Fenton Works and phased through the wall where he noticed Desiree was lying on the couch breathing heavily with her scratch marks glowing brightly in an ominous green glow. Sam was wiping off her sweat while Tucker put a bag of ice on her forehead to help cool her down. Danny changed back to his human form as he rushed over to Desiree, "How is she?"

"Bad, really bad. She has a fever and it's not going down. These scratch marks are also glowing. I don't know what this means", said Sam when she noticed Desiree was still holding onto the medallion they found earlier.

"D-Danny…" groaned Desiree opening her eyes as they occasionally glowed pink and green.

"Desiree, we're here. Hold on, we're gonna get help", said Danny grabbing her hand.

"W-Wish…" groaned Desiree feeling herself grow weaker.

"We already tried wishing for the poison out of you. Whatever this thing is, it's shorting out your powers", said Sam worried for her friend.

"W-Wish…" repeated Desiree slowly losing consciousness.

"Wish for what? What do we wish for?" asked Danny trying to help her stay awake.

"I wish we knew someone who could help us with this", said Tucker in a worried tone feeling her forehead.

Desiree heard his wish and sent out a pulse with her powers confusing her three friends, but also alerting the shadow of her presence. The three friends looked around wondering what happened, but nothing appeared to be happening.

"Did her powers shorted out again?" asked Danny.

"Not like that", said Sam feeling startled.

"Uh…Guys…Desiree's power worked, but I don't know what it did?" said Tucker looking at his PDA.

"What do you mean?" asked Sam.

"My PDA never had static before", said Tucker showing his PDA with a white static screen.

Sam took out her phone and noticed that it was emitting static as well. Danny turned on the television showing that every channel had static as well. The three friends were confused as to what was happening when they heard a loud clatter outside. The three went outside to see the familiar dark feral shadow crashing into several buildings before it finally crashed in front of Danny's house.

Danny changed into his ghost form ready to battle when its form took on a more solid figure showing a tall blue skin, muscular ghost with white flaming hair, blazing red eyes, a long white tattered cape, a black suit with white outlines, white gloves, white boots, and a familiar DP logo on his chest. The three were shocked to see what they were seeing especially after his form changed, "Finally found you. I'd say 'hello', but I'm in a hurry here."

"Who or what are you, and why do you have that symbol on your chest?" said Danny floating in front of his friends.

"Why Danny, don't you recognize me? Then again, we never did officially meet. I'm you, from the future. Ten years to be exact", smirked the older ghost.

"But that's-"

"Impossible? Hardly, if you know where to look. It's good to see you again Tucker, Sam", interrupted the ghost, "Now get out of my way. I'm here to deal with that girl, and then I'll take care of you two."

"Okay, now I know you're definitely lying! I would never hurt my friends!" said Danny charging forward when the older ghost transformed into his shadow feral form once again. He backhanded Danny knocking him into a building with one hit, and charged towards Tucker and Sam. Tucker quickly tapped into his phone and PDA trying to do something until Sam pushed him inside barely missing his claws. The shadow looked around when he noticed Desiree's unconscious form on the couch and charged towards her when he noticed his claw marks were glowing brightly with vein like markings appearing around her arm.

He raised his hand glowing brightly making Desiree groan in pain as the green vein-like markings spread wider, "Well this is interesting. It seems my powers are poisoning this woman. The more power I concentrate, the more pain and suffering it causes her", smiled the ghost maniacally when two puffs of red smoke escaped from his nostrils, "And here comes the 'hero' to save the day."

"Get away from her!"

Danny phased through the walls charging straight at him, when the older ghost turned around slamming him to the wall, "Too predictable Daniel. Makes me wonder just how naive I was during my younger years, but as long as it secures my future I don't really care."

"Your future?"

"Here's a little taste of what's in store", said the older ghost as he inhaled deeply.

Ghostly Wail

AHH

Danny screamed in pain as he felt like his powers and ear drums were about to explode, "Let…me…GO!"

Danny unleashed a green energy slash at the older ghost pushing him back, and partly slashing his chest, Grunt "What was that? I never had that power before."

"That proves you're not me! I got that power-"

"When you rescued Desiree", groaned the older ghost holding his head as another set of memories entered his mind. Danny's widen in shock at what he was hearing with the older ghost grunting in pain as he held his head, "Desiree…when Walker attacked the school and tried to imprison us. That never happened, I remember doing that alone. That's right, Desiree is the wish granting ghost. That woman who almost beat me in my youth. Desiree Phantasm, she was never supposed to exist. That can only mean a wish was made. A wish that could alter time like this? No! That's impossible!"

"'Impossible' you say?" said a mysterious disembodied voice getting their attention. A large clock hand appeared as it swirled around creating a large white-blue portal, "To quote your earlier statement, 'Not if you know where to look', is that correct?" said a small child-like ghost appearing.

"Clockwork! So this was your meddling after all!" growled the older ghost.

"Quite the contrary, this occurred naturally without my interference. You are receiving his memories after all. You said it yourself, Dan Phantom", said Clockwork glaring at Dan.

"'Dan Phantom'?" asked all three friends at once.

"This is all occurred by your younger self's decision. I didn't interfere in anyway. Seems to me like you lost even before this fight started. I doubt you're willing to destroy yourself, and she seems to be a good influence on you if you ask me. Quite ironic isn't it", smirked Clockwork, "Now be a good little specter and just fade out of existence like you're supposed to. It's a wonder how you're even here."

Maniacal Chuckle "What's wrong Clockwork? Curious as to how I'm able to exist for this long that you're willing to come here yourself instead of sending one of your little lackeys?" chuckled Dan, "In a small part it was thanks to Valerie and her father for building a time traveling belt. I knew I had to come myself, but the moment I set foot here I knew something was wrong. I was able to exist for this long thanks to my own power, with a little help from you of course."

Clockworks eyes widen as he shifted into his adult form. He knew what he was referring while Dan got up with his hands glowing in green flames, "How did you get my time medallion?"

"From one of your pathetic attempts to erase me of course. You give those little trinkets out as if they were candy. Once I found out about you, I knew something big was being put into work. When I heard from Valerie that she was planning on building a time travel device, I thought it would be the best time to strike and secure my future. So I waited patiently all those years until it was finally done. I also found out something else…that woman that my younger self cares about…she will definitely cause more pain than the death of my friends and parents", said Dan shocking Danny.

"W-What?" stuttered Danny with Sam and Tucker shock as well.

"My ectoplasm is poisoning this woman as we speak. Little by little I can feel my presence solidifying while her presence slowly fades away. I may not even need to kill Sam, Tucker, Jazz, and my parents. Then again one can never be too careful", smiled Dan.

"You're a monster", growled Danny in frustration.

"Now Danny, is that really anyway to talk to yourself?" smirked Dan sinisterly.

"I'm never turning into you!" said Danny.

"Never say 'never'", said Dan charging at them.

"Time out!" Called out Clockwork pressing on a button on his staff freezing everyone around him. Dan started to glow making Clockwork's eyes widen as he pushed Danny out of the way, and pressed the button on his staff again, "Time in!"

Dan charged forward hitting where Danny and Clockwork once were with Dan chuckling once again, "Did you really think that would work?"

"All it takes is just one second to change the course of history", said Clockwork calmly.

"Time puns? Really? I would think for a ghost of your caliber that would be beneath you", said Dan shooting a red ghost ray at him. Clockwork quickly created a clock shaped shield protecting him from Dan's attack.

"And for someone who once posed as a Champion of Justice, you tend to monologue a lot", said Clockwork shifting into his elder form, "I would think that would be beneath you as well."

"Touché", said Dan arching his eyebrow, "But onto more pressing matters."

Dan's hands started to glow brightly causing Desiree to groan in pain. Her vein-like markings soon started to spread all over her arm when it suddenly stopped causing Dan to groan out in pain as well. Danny, Sam, and Tucker could only watch helplessly as the evil ghost was about to take their friend, but were confused as to why he suddenly started yelling in pain. He looked over his hands noticing that they were fading in and out of existence.

"What is-"

"Funny thing about Time…it doesn't like paradoxes or enigmas, and you Dan are all that and more. Not even my time medallions can protect you from that", explained Clockwork to young Danny.

"No, but I still have the Time Belt to move to a more appropriate timeline that will help me cement my future. If this moment won't help me, then I'll just stop myself even further back", laughed Dan pressing a button on his belt before disappearing in a swirling vortex.

"We don't have much time. If you wish to save the girl, bring her along", instructed Clockwork.

"Hey, he's not going anywhere without us. Danny and Desiree are our friends", said Sam standing next to Danny while gently picking up Desiree.

"It would be a lot safer if you both remain here. It could have some unintended consequences to the timeline", said Clockwork stretching out his hand encasing Danny and Desiree in a bright energy glow. Sam and Tucker quickly lounged at them grabbing onto their friends as they all disappeared.

Ghost Zone Temple

"Typical teenagers, who didn't see that coming?" commented Clockwork floating a nearby panel with swirling green energy.

"Where…are we?" asked Sam as she looked out the window to see various clock gears and cogs spinning in midair with a familiar dark green sky.

"I think we're in the Ghost Zone, but no part of the Ghost Zone I've ever seen", said Danny walking up next to Sam while still carrying Desiree.

"Welcome to my castle", greeted Clockwork shifting into his adult form as he moved away from the screen panel showing a label that read 'FUTURE: 10 YEARS', "And this…is what is currently happening to your town, or…more precisely, what will happen to your town if things keep going the way they are."

"Who are you?" asked Danny

"Introductions? Fine. As your older self has mentioned, I am Clockwork, Master of Time", said Clockwork shifting into his baby form.

"Is that really…me?" asked Danny looking at Dan Phantom in the viewer destroying several helicopter and military vehicles while laughing manically before letting out a large ghostly wail, "So that guy was telling the truth? I turn out to be evil?"

"Sadly yes…and I was tasked with eliminating this future. Your future", said Clockwork shifting into his elderly form showing Dan destroying Amity Park and fighting many humans while laughing manically.

"Wait! Wait! That can't be me! He didn't know I could do that new power I had when I saved Desiree! And I definitely can't do that…that…wail thing!" argued Danny looking at the screen, "Although it would be cool to learn that if it was."

"Danny!" harshly whispered Sam.

"I mean, if it wasn't used for being evil! Besides how can time travel be possible for him and this ghost too?!"

"Time flows different for me. It moves backwards and forwards and…why am I explaining this to you? You're fourteen", groaned Clockwork shifting forms as he tried to explain only to see their blank confused expressions.

"Okay, look, I can prove he's not me! Name one evil thing I've done!" argued Danny.

Clockwork pointed his scepter to the screen showing Jazz returning home. She looked around noticing Danny's backpack, and reached inside to find the CAT answers, "Oh my gosh! Lancer was right! Danny did steal the answers! Danny's a cheater!" cried out Jazz sobbing on the floor with the answers falling to the ground.

"Okay, I know this looks bad, but I swear I was just about to-"

"Wish for Desiree to return the answers. Yes, I am aware of that, but that still doesn't excuse some of your actions, or actions that will happen", interrupted Clockwork.

"How about going two for two?" asked Tucker.

Clockwork pointed his scepter again showing Dan destroying more soldiers and buildings while laughing as the destruction around him, "How about two thousand?"

"Well I'm out of ideas", muttered Tucker.

"Wait! How can this be my future if-"

"If Desiree isn't being shown? Yes that's right. That's because, in this timeline, Desiree was never turned into a half ghost by you. This was all supposed to happen, but just even the slightest alterations can change the flow of history about you", said Clockwork showing Danny's battle with Desiree during the meteor shower with him beating her and trapping her in the thermos instead of making his wish, "All by one simple wish. It almost seems poetic in a way."

"But…how…I-"

"I'll try and explain this as simple as I can. Time is like a river. Sometimes its one big stream, but there are occasional branches that pop up. Sometimes little ones, others take a big change, and it's my job to make sure that river keeps flowing as it should. However, there are some occasional changes here and there that sometimes tend to have a big impact in the most unexpected ways even to me. Much like you and your other new half ghost friend here", said Clockwork continuously shifting forms.

"As I explained to your other counterpart, I didn't intervene in you making this wish, nor did I suggested it in any way. All this happened naturally, but had a very small possibility of coming into existence and merging with the main timeline. Yet it somehow did, and it succeeded in altering parts of your future for the better in my opinion. Thus also solving this little dilemma that was bestowed upon me to clean up", said Clockwork.

"But then why-"

"Your future self is quite powerful indeed. Powerful that he's foiled several of my attempts to stop him from coming into existence, which is why he's feeling the effects of the timeline in waves rather than all at once. My medallions may protect someone from traveling through time, and my own powers, but they're not powerful enough to protect someone from any changes naturally made by Time itself", explained Clockwork.

"Is anyone else getting a headache?" asked Sam trying to understand Clockwork's explanation.

"Naturally", commented Clockwork.

"Yeesh, someone has a big ego", muttered Sam making Clockwork stare at her with a deadpan expression.

"As the timeline continues to move forward, there are some changes that occur as well. Much like your new power, and why your future self doesn't have it nor remember it. Some changes have even started to take effect. However, as long as your evil self exists, there's still a possibility of his also existing. Albeit an altered version, but still the same desolate future none-the-less", explained Clockwork ignoring Sam's comment.

Clockwork pointed his scepter towards the screen showing Jazz sitting in her room, "However, there are some things that still remain the same."

Fenton Works

Jazz was sitting in her room hugging her teddy bear as she continued to wipe away tears, "How could you Danny? I know you're part ghost, I know all about you being a hero to everyone, so why would you go and do something so evil like this? This isn't like you. I hope Desiree at least talks some sense into you. Though I still don't know how she's a half-ghost like you, but still…at least I know you have a good partner with you."

Ghost Zone Temple

"She knew?" asked Danny.

"Yes, for quite some time really. Your future self didn't know about this either. Thought this might motivate you a bit into doing the right thing. A little lesson I learned from your partner there", said Clockwork smiling at him.

"Whoa", commented Tucker.

"I know", commented Sam, "How did she find out about Desiree?"

"All in due time. Right now we have more pressing matters, and I have a schedule to keep. Follow me", motioned Clockwork.

"Where are we going?" asked Danny.

"To visit an old friend of yours so to speak. He could help you with what you need, and possible help save your friend from your own powers poisoning her", said Clockwork.

"Wait a minute, where he goes, we go", commented Sam.

"I believe the appropriate term is 'when' not 'where' in this situation. You two however, were only here for the free ride, but now that ride is over. It's back from whence you came", said Clockwork with a bright blue aura enveloping Sam and Tucker before they were carried over to another screen showing Danny's current present time.

"Hey! Why'd you do that for?! I could've used their help!" argued Danny.

"Because it was necessary, and they'll be more useful to your sister than to you at the moment. Your future self has been busy, and until you take away that Time Belt of his along with my medallion that he stole, he'll still find ways to make his future come to pass", said Clockwork.

"Why can't you do it?" asked Danny.

"Just because I'm the Master of Time, doesn't mean that I don't have rules to follow as well. I'm doing this to help you, and to secure your future. The future that was unforeseen, and thrived against all odds that it even caught me by surprise. I've seen the potential the two of you can do, and I'm curious to see what else you can accomplish together", said Clockwork smiling at him creating a clock portal in front of him.

Danny looked down at Desiree who was breathing raggedly in her weaken state and looked onward with determination while hugging her a bit tighter in his arms, "Alright, let's do this."

"Jump into the time portal, and it will take you to Dan's future. There you'll find someone who can help you, and do not remove these time medallions until you are ready to return to your own time", instructed Clockwork putting a time medallion on him and Desiree.

"What exactly am I-"

"As I said before, all in due time", said Clockwork.

Amity Park 10 Years In The Future

Danny stepped through the portal to see a desolate wasteland of destroyed buildings and ruins all around him, "Man this place is a total bummer. Do I really do all of this?"

"You sure do punk", growled a deep voice as Danny's ghost sense went off.

He looked over to see a muscular ghost with blue skin, an eyepatch over his left eye, a double hooked hand in the shape of an anchor on his right hand, and a heart tattoo on his left bicep, "Is that…the Box Ghost?"

"What of it?" growled the Box Ghost.

"Wow…you got ripped", blinked Danny feeling a bit intimidated.

"Thanks, been working out to for the little lady. Doris loves a man with a bit of meat on his bones", said the Box Ghost flexing his muscles.

"And I take it back-ew", commented Danny with a deadpan expression until he realized something, "Wait, the Lunch Lady Ghost's name is Lunch Lady Doris?"

"Whatever punk, and you're not fooling anyone with that pathetic disguise. We remember exactly how you look like all those years go. Not even you are strong enough to take on all of us", growled the Box Ghost.

"Uh…'Us'?"

"Yes, welp. 'Us'", commented another familiar voice revealing a weaponized robotic suit with a metallic skull-like head with bright electric green eyes and jagged teeth surrounded by ghostly green fire.

The mechanical ghost had black and dark gray metallic armor surrounding him with glowing green circuit patterns all over his body with two giant metallic gauntlets as hands, dark gray shoulder guards, and a large circular green panel with another familiar face showing on his chest that looks similar to another one of Danny's arch-nemesis. Two green tubes were attached to a mechanical backpack-like unit from a collar like construct around his neck, and several weaponized features on the wrists of the gauntlets. Danny also noticed a gray utility belt around the mechanical ghost's that had a green "ST" on the buckle, and a long ghostly green tail.

"Is that…Skulker and Technus? Together?"

"I am Skulktech 9.9! The future Ghost Zone's greatest hunter!" yelled out Skulker.

"With its greatest techno-villain as his Operating System!" yelled Technus.

"And that's not all", growled the Box Ghost pointing behind Danny revealing several more of his rivals.

"Johnny 13?" said Danny recognizing a familiar older looking man with balding blonde hair and a ponytail on the back, wearing a white tank-top, fingerless gloves, bright green eyes, a green skull pendant around his neck, and a flowing tattered blanket around his waist.

"Been waiting a long time for this punk", growled Johnny as his blanket flew up revealing his monstrous bad luck shadow.

"It's because of you that we all had hard lives!" growled a feminine voice revealing a curvaceous woman with short green hair cut into a modified pixie-bob, glowing red eyes, a red leather jacket over a black shirt, a red skirt, green leggings, black shoes, and a grey purse over her shoulder.

"Kitty? You…actually you look good in the future", commented Danny noticing that Kitty looked more mature and business savvy compared to her younger look that he was familiar with.

"Aww, thanks, it almost makes me a bit sad that I have to destroy you. Almost", said Kitty swinging her purse as a weapon before looking over at Johnny, "See? At least he still knows how to give a complement."

Johnny could only groan in frustration while pinching the bridge of his nose, and growled at Danny, "We can talk about this later Kitty! Let's just waste this punk already!"

"Wait! Wait! I'm not that evil Danny! I mean I am, but I'm not evil yet! I time-traveled back here to look for someone to help me with curing Desiree!" yelled Danny.

"Nice try faker", growled Kitty.

"Desiree was destroyed by you during one of your earlier sieges years ago. She was obliterated without a trace", said Box Ghost readying his hook.

"And hiding behind a human shield ain't gonna do you much good, punk. We're here to destroy you once and for all", growled Johnny.

"But I'm really not that evil Danny! I really did time-travel here from an alternate, maybe possible…time travel is confusing okay?!" yelled Danny in frustration not knowing how to explain it.

"He certainly does sound like he did in his younger years", said Skulker.

"Which is even better. By my calculations, if we get rid of him, there's a 65% chance that it also destroy his future self and thus eradicating not only this desolate future, but all our past miseries", said Technus smiling evilly.

"That's it? Just 65? Why so low?" asked Skulker.

"Hey! Time travel isn't an exact science, and there's a lot of variables to take into consideration! Let's just get rid of him while he's weaker and dumber than his older self!" argued Technus.

"Meh, Good enough for me", said Skulker shrugging his shoulder.

"Hope you're ready to meet your doom", growled Box Ghost shooting several box shaped energy cubes at him forcing Danny to transform and fly back to dodge.

"D-Danny", groaned Desiree breathing rapidly once more as her vein like markings started to spread once more.

"Oh no, the venom is reacting to my power now. If I stay in ghost form, I'll end up hurting her more", said Danny transforming back into his human form noticing the vein like markings slowly shrinking once more.

"Got'cha brat!" yelled Kitty swinging her purse knocking Danny back into a ruined building rubble.

Danny saw this and hugged Desiree close shielding her with his body as they crashed against it making him lose consciousness. Desiree opened her eyes with her vision blurring noticing that she was in a different location. She looked up noticing some of the familiar ghosts she had come across yet looked completely different, and more powerful in a way. She didn't know exactly what was going on, but used what little power she could muster try and raise a shield around them. Her shield let out a pulse as she remembered Tucker's wish once more before falling unconscious once again stopping the ghosts in their tracks.

"Was that some type of attack?" asked the Box Ghost.

"I don't feel anything, but that girl has powers too apparently", said Johnny with his shadow pushing his wheelchair.

"Then we get rid of 'em both", said the Box Ghost.

"Technus, you're malfunctioning my optical relays", commented Skulker rubbing his eyes.

"What are you talking about?! Your optical relays are just fine!" argued Technus.

"Oh really?! Then explain why my facial recognition is saying that the woman down there is Desiree, when she's clearly a human teenager?!" argued Skulker.

"What?! That's impossible! She was obliterated right in front of us and…hey wait you're right", said Technus looking at Desiree.

"Wait, so that's really Desiree? She's alive? I mean literally alive?" asked Kitty.

"By my calculations that shouldn't be possible. She even commented that she was forbidden from breaking her own rules even if someone did wish for it", said Technus with various programming patterns running across his screen panel.

The world around them flashed a bit fading in and out with phantom images of perfect buildings in place of ruined ones before flashing back to their previous location. Images of flying cars and people were walking around before fading back out of existence, and the sky turning blue and green every time it did.

"Seems like the whole world is going unstable", said Skulker confused as to what was happening.

"Told ya it wasn't me", argued Technus looking up.

"Then that means Skulktech was right! Let's finish him off for the sake of our future!" yelled Johnny as they all prepared their Ghost Rays at the unconscious pair.

Danny slowly regained consciousness noticing all the ghosts flying above him readying their final attack aimed directly at them, "Wait! Wait! Stop! Please stop!"

All the ghosts fired their attack in full force making Danny's eyes widen in shock, "NO!"

Power Cord

Danny shielded his eyes after being blinded by the oncoming attack. He slowly opened them to see a swirling pink shield surrounding them, and a beautiful curvaceous pale skin woman standing in front of him with her back turned. She was wearing a bustier black leather top with a metal plate across her chest that hugged her hourglass figure, black tight shorts with black leggings, a white half-skirt around her waist, black arm length fingerless gloves with a single hoop ring around her middle finger on both arms, two earrings on her exposed right ear, and was holding a metallic colored electric guitar in the shape of a familiar DP logo. Danny looked up seeing long flowing flaming blue hair tied in a high ponytail, that reached down the small of her back, "E-Ember?!"

"Ember?!" repeated all the ghost surprised to see her appearance.

"That's my name Babypop, don't wear it out just yet. Although I do like it when you chant it over and over again", said Ember looking back at him with a seductive wink.

"That can't be Ember! She's overweight with a raspy voice after the jerk used that Ghost Wail on her!" commented Kitty.

"The who what now?" asked Ember looking at her with a confused look, "Hey Kitty, what's with the MILF look? I mean, it's okay I guess, but…I don't know just doesn't quite suit you just right."

"Me?! What about you?! That's one heck of a weight loss program for you to lose all that body weight!" replied a shocked Kitty.

"Okay, trying not to get too insulted here, but you're really making it hard girl", said Ember trying to sound calm while her eye twitched in anger.

"Wow. If I had any feelings left for her I would say she looks amazing", commented Skulker scanning her.

"What exactly are you scanning?" asked Technus looking up at him.

"Uh Nothing. Just trying to get a reading on her, that's all", stammered Skulker looking slightly away.

"Ugh, The techno dweebs fused together? And I thought they both couldn't get any more annoying separately", commented Ember looking at Johnny next with a bewildered look on his face, "Hey Johnny, looks like living on the edge finally caught up with ya huh? Although what's with the bald spot? If you're trying to go for that DILF look or something, it's really horrible."

"I'm…confused", commented Danny.

"Hey Danny, how come you're having such difficulty with…these…losers?" asked Ember looking back at Danny getting a good look at his appearance, "Why do you look like your younger self? I know I said I wanted to incorporate some roleplay in our foreplay, but isn't this a bit much? Did one of Desiree's wishes backfire on you or something?" asked Ember looking at him before noticing Desiree's unconscious form on the ground, "Sis! Danny, what happened to her?! What's this scratch?! Is this why you two look like you did 10 years ago?!"

"Ember! Don't you remember?! He's evil! He killed Desiree in front of you before he unleashed his Ghost Wail that destroyed your vocal cords!" yelled out Kitty.

"What are you talking about?! Danny would never do that to me! I love him, and he loves me! I'm one of his wives remember?! What exactly is going on here?! And why is the city so messed up like this?! Did you idiots have something to do with all of this?!" yelled out Ember in anger.

"Have you lost your mind Ember?!" yelled out Johnny.

"Have you?! Because I'm seriously ticked off right now, and you bozos are gonna get it if you don't come quietly to the Ghost Zone!" yelled Ember with her hair flaring up.

"Um…To put it simply, there was this weird evil version of myself, something about my future and-"

"Bap! Bap! Hold on! Back up a sec there Babypop! What do you mean-", Ember interrupted herself when she noticed the medallions both Danny and Desiree were wearing around their necks, Groan "This is one of those stupid time things isn't it? Great, now I'm probably gonna get lectured by Baby Gramps for some stupid time shit."

"Ember!" yelled Danny in shock.

"What?" groaned Ember noticing his shocked face, "Oh, Right, you're still at that age. Sigh Well this is gonna be a bummer headache, but I guess I might as well help you, Babypop. Might even make you fall for me again."

"I don't know what he did, but this has to be some kind of trick! Shadow!" yelled Johnny with his Shadow flying in front of him.

"Don't worry Ember, I won't let him get you like he did with Desiree", said Kitty readying her purse.

"It's four-on-one Ember. I doubt even you can beat those odds", commented Skulker with an evil smile along with Technus.

"Well clearly you guys haven't messed with me before. Let me show you the power of Ember McLain Phantom!" proudly proclaimed Ember readying her guitar.

"I think you know what comes next then Ember, just don't take it too hard", said the Box Ghost with his energy glowing in his hand, "Beware."
