Part 10
"Don't you remember me? The pink hated, buck-toothed punk with ghost powers?" asked Timmy.
"Ghost powers? What's that? Besides, ghosts don't even exist." said Danny.
"Oh my gosh! When I broke the time stick thing, I must've changed time so that I don't exist!" Timmy said to himself.
"Uh, Danny? We have to hurry; we don't want to miss 'Cracking with Crocker'. Remember what happened last time?" said Sam.
"Oh yeah, um, Timmy right?" Danny said turning to him.
"Yeah." he answered.
"Can you, like, go now? Before I call the cops. And why are you wearing pink anyway? Don't you know that pink is against the rules?"
"Uh…uh…"
"Just leave him; he can get caught on his own. Now let's go!" Tucker shouted.
"Hold up, I need to get something." said Danny, searching in his drawers and then his bed.
He looked at Timmy and saw the medallion.
"Hey! That's my medal! What are you doing with that?" he shouted.
"Your medal? This is my medallion; well technically it's yours but well…"
"FYI, we need to leave. NOW!" shouted Sam.
"Yeah, come on, Danny." said Tucker.
"Fine, I'll deal with you later."
Danny walked over to his friends and left the house.
Timmy walked over to the window and looked around.
The sky was dark red and a building is seen standing on a hill, away from the city.
People everywhere were gathering to that particular building.
"I have a hunch on what's going on in there, but I better just explore the city while I have the chance."
Timmy went ghost and left the medallion and staff on Danny's bed. He flew out of the window and had a look around.
"Doesn't seem so different, except for Crocker's face everywhere."
He landed and looked at the abandoned streets.
A wind blew and a newspaper hit his face. He took it off and read it closely.
"EMPEROR CROCKER HAS NOW CALMED DOWN AFTER LAST NIGHT'S FIASCO ABOUT HIS SHOW 'CRACKING WITH CROCKER'. IT IS NOW DECREED THAT EVERYONE MUST WATCH IT FOR HE IS NOW GIVING AWAY INFORMATION ON HOW TO BECOME POWERFUL LIKE HIM."
Timmy skimmed through the newspaper and looked at the headline.
"THE CRACK ON CROCKER. PRINTED BY THE CROCKER COMPANY, MAY 31, 1989."
He gasped and looked around for the date. He spotted a big screen on a building showing a theme song of a show called 'Cracking with Crocker'.
After the theme song, Crocker appeared on the screen with his Fairy suit on.
"Why hello there, lesser people of Amity Park. Do you know what day it is today?" he asked the audience.
A hand shot up and the man stood up.
It was Jack.
"June 1, 1989?"
"Oh let's see…WRONG! It's another day for everyone to bow down to me! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"What! 1989? I didn't erase myself! I must've fused the future with the past! I gotta-"
"Hold it right there!" boomed the familiar voice.
Timmy turned around and saw the helmeted two guards he encountered in the future.
"Why are you out here? Don't you know that 'Cracking with Crocker' is on right now?" said the second guard.
"I, uh…lost my way!"
"Well the building is over there," the first guard said, pointing to the big hill, "you can't really miss it."
"Hey, Skulker, check this out." said the second man, holding up a gun.
Skulker took his helmet of and showed his face.
"Please, Gray, we don't have time for this. And don't call me Skulker! It's Patroller X-13."
"Oh sorry."
While the two guards were talking, Timmy took the chance to make a run for it.
"Hey! The kid's escaping! After him!" shouted Skulker.
Damon Grey ran after Timmy and Skulker followed.
Timmy ran through the streets, making sharp turns as an attempt to lose the guards.
"Gotta get back to Danny's house and fix the staff. But how am I going to get these guys off my back? Wait a minute, duh, ghost powers."
He went invisible and flew back to Danny's house.
Skulker and Damon looked ahead and saw that Timmy was gone.
"Where'd he go?" asked Skulker.
"The boss isn't going to like this." said Damon.
"Then don't tell him, let's just keep this to ourselves."
At Danny's house.
Timmy phased through the wall up to Danny's room and looked at the broken staff.
"Hmm, maybe I can just glue them together."
He looked around the empty house, found some art paste, and returned to the room. He took the staff, stuck it in the art paste bottle and stuck the bottom of the staff onto it.
"There, good as new. I hope. I could change this by going back even further. But I have one more thing I want to do before I leave."
At Crocker's Studio.
"Okay, it's time for 'Crocker's Kids'! All of you little monsters should come on down and take a seat with the Emperor." he said to everyone.
Kids from the audience ran down the steps to Crocker and sat down, staring at the camera.
"So, children, do you have any questions to ask the nice Emperor?" he asked.
"Yeah, when could take your crud off the air?" asked Timmy, coming down from the ceiling.
"You dare to insult me? For that, you shall pay!"
Crocker blasted a ray out of his hand at Timmy, but he dodged it.
He jumped behind the set and went ghost. Timmy went invisible and flew to Crocker, punching him up high and making him land on the cameras.
"Well, at least he's off the air. I think I can go back now." he told himself.
Timmy took the staff and medallion from behind the set and was prepared to press the button.
"Well, here goes everything. Time out!"
He pressed the button on the staff and closed his eyes shut.
Nothing happened.
"What the heck? Why isn't this working?"
He pressed the button over and over again until he saw it light up.
"Finally!"
A blinding light appeared and Timmy was ready to go back to the past and fix all of it.
The light faded away and Timmy was confused.
"What? I'm still here? What happened?"
A massive explosive the size of a nuclear bomb's exploded in the building.
Timmy was thrown back onto the ground. He felt pain and slowly closed his eyes, fading into the darkness.
Timmy woke up in dark place.
"Huh? What happened?" he asked himself.
A figure appeared in front of him, with a long, black robe and a hood and a scythe.
Timmy gasped.
"The Grim Reaper? I'm dead?"
The dark hooded figure floated around Timmy, not making a sound.
"Are you here to get my soul?" asked Timmy.
The figure nodded and held up his scythe at Timmy, preparing to cut him.
"Aahh!" Timmy closed his eyes and felt the scythe slicing the air on his right.
He opened his eyes and saw that the Grim Reaper wasn't going slice him.
The scythe opened up a small portal screen of Timmy's first visit to Amity Park.
It showed Timmy's first battle with Skulker and how he rescued Danny and Valerie.
"Huh? That's when I first got my powers. Why are you showing me this?"
The Reaper pointed back at the screen and showed Timmy stealing the scythe from Clockwork.
"Is that why? You're just showing me how I messed up?"
The figure said nothing, just nodded and showed him on last thing.
Timmy turned to the screen and saw the future.
Crocker wasn't only ruler, but Danny, Tucker, and Sam were dead. Their grave was being visited by their families.
"What? How'd they die?" asked Timmy.
Reaper changed the screen to a scene after Timmy went too back in the past.
Nineteen year olds Danny, Sam, and Tucker were being chased around by the guards who were shooting at them.
"Why won't Danny just use his ghost powers?"
Reaper pointed at the screen, showing the three still being chased by the guards.
Around Danny's neck was something that looked like a neck guard.
"Does that thing around Danny's neck have anything to do with it?"
Reaper nodded and pointed Timmy's attention back on the screen.
Danny, Sam, and Tucker are now running through the football field and the guards are now close.
Skulker shoots his ray and hits Tucker's leg.
"Tucker!" Danny screamed.
"Go on, without me." Tucker groaned with pain.
Danny and Sam ran back to him and tried lifting his shoulders.
"Come on, Tucker, try running with one foot." said Sam.
"It hurts real bad." said Tucker.
"Let's go." said Danny.
Danny and Sam were running as fast as they can with Tucker on their shoulders.
They ran off the field and back onto the road.
"Oh my gosh! Tucker!" shouted Timmy.
Danny tripped on a rock and dropped him.
"Come on! Let's get Tucker before they get here!" panicked Sam.
Danny took Tucker on his back and ran with Sam.
Skulker and Damon were gaining on them.
"When is Timmy going to fix this?" asked Sam.
"I don't know, but he better hurry!" said Danny.
Tucker groaned with more pain.
"Come on! Let's get Tucker to a doctor!"
Danny and Sam ran over to the west side of Amity Park to the Hospital.
When they finally reached it, the doors were locked and it was closed.
"Oh no! It's closed! What are we going to do now?" asked Danny.
"Maybe I can call some doctors, but we have to hide." said Sam.
"Over there, in the trees."
They ran behind the bushes and stayed quiet.
Skulker and Damon reached the hospital.
"Hmm, where did the ghost child and his friends go?" asked Skulker.
"Let's make a search around here." suggested Damon.
"You search by the hospital, I'll search the woods."
Damon walked around the hospital looking for any sign that they're there, and Skulker was walking towards where Danny, Sam, and Tucker were.
Tucker groaned with pain and looked at his leg, it was bleeding fast.
Danny and Sam saw his leg and decided to take a risk.
Danny picked Tucker up and ran off to the city with Sam.
Skulker spotted them and ran after them.
"Stop!" he shouted at them, "Come on Damon! They're getting away!"
Damon looked back at the running teens and joined Skulker.
"Let's head over to my house, I have a safe there filled with supplies." said Sam.
As they got to the streets, Danny began slowing down until he couldn't run anymore with Tucker on his back.
He fell to the ground with only his arms holding him up.
"Danny! You have to get up! The guard is on his way!"
"Take Tucker and go home, I'll handle the guard." said Danny with gasps of breaths.
"No! I can't leave you!" said Sam.
"You have to! It's either we all die are just me."
"Then come with me!"
"I can't, this neck brace drained most of m energy and I barely have any to stand."
"Then I'll stay here with you!"
"Sam! What about Tucker!"
Tucker was now screaming in pain.
"I-I can't leave you!"
"It's okay, I'll be fine."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, now go!"
Sam took Tucker's arm on her shoulder and ran off. She stopped and looked back at Danny.
"Sam! G-" Danny said but couldn't finish because Skulker blasted him with his ray gun.
"Danny!" screamed Sam.
Danny fell to the ground and Skulker smiled.
"Finally, after all these years. I, Skulker, have killed the ghost boy!" he shouted.
"Skulker?"
"Danny!" shouted Timmy, with tears starting to form in his eyes.
Sam put Tucker down and stood firm, with an angry fist.
"You killed him!" Sam ran towards Skulker, preparing a punch.
Before she even got to touch him, Skulker caught her fist and held onto it.
"Well, you'll be joining him." he said with an evil smile.
Sam had a huge amount of anger in herself. She was full of anger and frustration and wanted to take it all out on Skulker. So much anger that she took her other hand and was able to lift him and throw him against the ground.
"Wow, I guess I'm regretting making fun of her now." said Timmy.
Sam was satisfied with what she did, but forgot that Skulker is still holding onto her hand.
Skulker was able to press a button on his arm that shocked her, causing her to fall to her knees then the ground.
But it was a very powerful and painful jolt.
Sam wasn't unconscious or sleeping, she was dead.
Tucker had enough energy to see what happened to Sam.
"Sam!" he screamed.
Skulker got up and walked over to Tucker.
"And now, how to waste you…"
Deep inside Tucker, he was crying and bleeding. On the outside, he was bleeding too but his face showed the emotion of anger and frustration.
"You killed me best friends, you killed them…" he said quietly to himself.
"Indeed, but with your wound, you have nowhere to go. So how about joining them?" said Skulker.
He took his gun and aimed it at Tucker.
Tucker had a mix of emotions inside of him but he was mostly scared and angry.
Skulker prepared his gun and shot Tucker.
"Tucker! No!" screamed Timmy, with tears in his eyes. He turned to the Grim Reaper.
"I didn't mean for any of that to happen! I only wanted my fairies back!" Timmy sobbed, "And because of that, Danny's dead. And so are Sam and Tucker. The time stick is broken and I'm dead, how am I going to fix this?"
Timmy just stared at the screen and watched Fentons, Masons, and Foleys gather around the graves of their child, then he turned to the Reaper.
"Why are you showing me this if I have no way of fixing it?"
Reaper changed the scene in the screen back to when Timmy stole the medallion from Danny's room.
"I know what I did already! I don't want to see what I did wrong over and over again!"
Reaper floated to the screen and held his scythe out. The screen froze and he walked inside it, sending him to that certain scene.
Timmy was dumbfounded.
Reaper came back out of the portal without a word.
"Huh? Is that screen a portal?"
Reaper nodded.
"So what do want me to do?"
He pointed to the screen and Timmy understood what he wanted him to do.
"You want me to change what happened don't you?"
He nodded.
"But wait, don't let me come in at that part, change it back to when I got my powers."
Reaper pointed his scythe at the screen and the scene changed to Timmy's first visit.
"Okay, here goes everything."
Timmy shut his eyes and jumped into the screen.
He fell on the ground of the alley next to the movie theatre and slowly got to his feet, dizzy and with a really bad headache.
"You okay, sport?" asked the fairy in front of him.
It was Wanda.
"Wanda! Oh I've never been so glad to see you!" cheered Timmy, hugging her very tightly.
"What do you mean by that? I haven't gone anywhere. You just passed out from slamming into the dumpster.
"Maybe this isn't Timmy. What have you done to Timmy!" screamed Cosmo.
"Cosmo! I've never ever ever been so glad to hear your stupidness!" cheered Timmy, giving him a much tighter hug.
"Too…much…hugging…can't…breathe…" said Cosmo, in Timmy's bear hug.
Timmy let go of Cosmo and looked around. Everything was normal.
"Wait, what do you mean I slammed into a dumpster?" he asked Wanda.
"I saw you running here and slam into the dumpster. Then you got unconscious and kept moving around, talking in your sleep then started screaming things like "Danny!" and "Tucker! No!" I think you were having a nightmare." she answered.
"Nightmare? That was all a dream?"
"You seemed like you were going to say something before you slammed into the dumpster."
Timmy remembered everything that happened in his dream.
"Uh, yeah. Danny's in trouble! We gotta do something! Well I'm about to do something pretty bold."
Meanwhile in the sky, Danny is still in Skulker's Net.
"Like my new net? I designed it just for you." said Skulker.
Danny tried to phase out, but couldn't. He couldn't even move.
"Now, it shocks you and makes you paralyzed and helpless for and hour, which is 59 minutes more than I need to take care of you."
A blast shot at Skulker from behind. It was Valerie again.
"Let the ghost go." she said.
Skulker shot out another net from his other arm.
"I got that net especially for you." he said, pressing a button, which shocked her.
"Valerie!" shouted Danny.
Danny felt weak and helpless, but then felt like his power was returning and he was getting stronger. He noticed that he was stronger than ever and decided to save himself and Valerie.
He broke out of the net and flew to Skulker.
"What? How? You're supposed to be paralyzed and this net was specialized as unbreakable and inescapable to ghosts!" shouted Skulker.
"I don't know how I broke it, but I do know that I did it and that you are a stubborn hunter who can't catch me."
Danny prepared a ghost ray and blasted him with a very powerful ray, sending him to the ground.
Skulker let go of the net Valerie was in while he was up in the air.
She was dropping really fast and screaming.
Danny flew over to her, easily caught her net, and safely dropped it on the ground.
"Whoa! Guess I don't really know my own strength."
"Hey, I can move now! All right ghost, it's now between you and me." said Valerie, pointing a gun at him.
"Yeah, you know that you should at least thank me for saving you."
"Fine, I'll ask you nicely. Are you going to fight me or just be a loser and back down?"
"Uh, neither."
Danny flew back to his house twice as fast as his fastest speed.
"Guess I don't know my own speed either." he said and snatched the thermos from the lab.
"You're just a scared little ghost kid!" shouted Valerie to the gone Danny.
She had a plan.
Danny flew back in record timing, opened the thermos at the unconscious Skulker, and captured him inside.
"Wow, Danny! That was so cool! You were all strong and fast!" cheered Timmy, coming out of the alley.
"Timmy? What are you doing here? I thought you were watching a movie with Tucker and Sam." said Danny.
He saw a light from an alley and knew what was going to happen.
"Timmy, look out!"
Danny quickly pushed Timmy away and was hit by the blast instead.
"Gotcha." said Valerie, coming out of the alley.
Danny fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Danny!" shouted Timmy.
Valerie walked to Danny and prepared another blast.
"That was for making me poor. This one's for making my life miserable!"
She blasted the gun and didn't hit Danny, she hit Timmy.
He jumped in the gun's way and was hit by it instead. Timmy fell to the ground next to Danny, also unconscious.
Valerie gasped.
"It's Danny's buck-toothed cousin! Oh my gosh! I'm in so much trouble!"
She got on her hover board and flew out of there.
Timmy slowly opened his eyes to the sight of Danny, Sam, and Tucker staring at him.
"Huh? What?" Timmy sat up and looked around.
He was in Danny's bed and in Danny's room.
"You okay? Sam and Tucker saw Valerie blast you by accident." said Danny.
"Uh, yeah." He moved his arm and felt a lot of pain there.
"Don't try to move, the pain will only get worse." cautioned Sam.
"Wow, you saved Danny back there." said Tucker.
"Thanks, I saved you and you saved me back. I guess we're even."
Timmy smiled.
"Can you please leave the room for a while? I want to be alone." he asked.
"Sure," said Danny, and left the room with his friends.
Once they were gone, Cosmo and Wanda poofed into the room.
"Oh, Timmy, I hope you're all right." said Wanda.
"Well, I'm fine. It could have been worse, like instead of wishing that Danny was as strong as the Crimson Chin, I could have wished for ghost powers myself."
"How is that worse?"
"Uh…, well the future would have been really bad. Crocker ruling, Danny, Sam, and Tucker dead, I'm lost in time…You know, those stuff."
"He must've slammed his head a little too hard, he's blabbering like an idiot. Usually, that's my job." said Cosmo.
"Well, I'm sure am glad I still have you guys for a long time."
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?"
"It means, I'm still going to be with you guys."
"And what's that supposed to mean?"
"Cosmo! He's just saying that he likes being our godchild."
"Oh, and what's that supposed to mean?"
Timmy sighed a happy sigh.
"This time here has been the best, but I want to go home now. I wish I was healed!"
Cosmo and Wanda waved their wands and Timmy's scratches and bruised were all gone.
He jumped off the bed and went downstairs.
Danny, Sam, and Tucker were sitting on the couch talking about something.
"Hey, Timmy, what are you doing out of bed?" asked Sam.
"I thought he was in pain." said Tucker.
"Timmy, you aren't going to heal if you're moving around." said Danny.
"Finally! My ghost magnet's been fixed! Now it makes any ghost attach to it that is 200 feet from you. If you're looking for a certain ghost, scan the ghost's DNA. If you have a ghost attached to this, you can press this button to make them weaker." said Jack, coming out of the kitchen and holding it, "Now to press the button to turn it on!"
Jack pressed the button and Danny knew he would stick to it.
So, he held onto the couch as tightly as he can and placed his feet firmly on the ground. He felt the magnet pulling him, but he knew he was strong enough not to be able to be even moved.
Jack waited a couple more seconds before giving up.
"Piece of junk, maybe I can just make a better gun."
He threw the magnet behind him and walked down to the lab.
"Phew, that was close." said Danny.
"I'll keep this magnet thing, it might come in handy with your ghost fighting." said Tucker.
"But if you use it, Danny will stick to it too." informed Sam.
"Oh, yeah. Piece of junk."
Tucker gave it to Timmy.
"Here, can you get rid of it?" asked Tucker.
"Uh…okay." said Timmy, taking it back to his room, and stuffing it into his backpack.
He ran down to the kitchen and saw his parents there.
"Hi, Timmy." said his mom.
"Uh, mom? Can we go home now? My, uh…, paper is, uh…, due tomorrow." said Timmy.
"Tomorrow? Today's Friday."
"I, uh…, want to hand it in early?"
"My boy is wants to hand his paper in early? What have you done to our Timmy!" panicked Mr. Turner.
"Did you slam your head into a dumpster again?" she felt Timmy's forehead, "Timmy, you feel warm. I think he's getting delusional. We better get back home."
"Aww, so soon?" whined Jack.
"It's okay, we'll be back next year." said Timmy's dad.
"Really! I can't wait until you come back! I can blabber more about ghosts!"
The Turners got into their car and left.
Timmy looked back at the house and waved goodbye.
Sam, Tucker, and the rest of the Fentons were waving too.
"I'm gunna miss it here." sighed Timmy.
"Well, you'll be back next year." said Wanda.
"Well, I'll be glad when I get home."
The hooded figure watched Timmy from his portal screen. He was holding the time staff instead of the scythe.
Two figures were walking towards him in the darkness.
"You've done it again." said the first observant.
"You now have total responsible of two children, Clockwork." said the second observant.
Clockwork took off the hood and faced them. He looked down at his staff, it was in perfect condition as if it was never broken.
"Well the future is now the way it is meant to be, for now."
