Chapter Eight: Back to the Past part 2

Our heroes found themselves falling through a spinning vortex of blue light. They saw the events of the past ten years rewind themselves like a real life video tape. Then suddenly they fell out of it into a heap on the ground. (AN: I'm going to refer to the future versions of our heroes with an F in front of their name, such as FDanny.)

"Ow! Time travel hurts." said FEmber.

"I know, I think I sprained my arm." said FJazz.

"Uh guys, we have a situation here." said FDanny.

They turned around to see their past selves, tied to the bomb that would destroy Amity Park. They were happy to see they had made it, the same could not be said of their past selves.

"Ahhh! Dan sent ghosts to finish us off!" said Jazz. Everybody started screaming.

"What is their problem?" said FValerie.

"I think we forgot to turn off the holobracelets." said FTucker.

Everyone turned of the holobracelets and looked like their normal selves again, but their past selves were still screaming.

"Quiet! We're here to help you!" shouted FDanny over the noise.

They all started to calm down and then noticed the future versions of themselves had changed.

"Who are you?" said Danny.

"We're you, from ten years in the future." said FDanny.

"Why are we supposed to believe you?" said Alicia.

"Argh! We don't have time for this! Tucker, disable the bomb." said FDanny.

FTucker quickly got to work and in seconds the bomb was disabled, one second from detonation.

"Now set up the wide beam hologram generator so Dan thinks it worked." said FDanny.

FTucker set it up to and it show a hologram of a nuclear explosion over the town, so Dan would think the bomb went off.

"Now help me get these restraints off of them." said FDanny.

Our future heroes quickly untied our past heroes and they were free. The past Danny and friends stared at their future counterparts.

"So, you are supposed to be us from the future?" said Danny.

"That's what we said. Man, we're you always this hard of hearing?" said FEmber to FDanny.

"Well if you're us, then do something to proof it." said Valerie.

"Yeah, say something only the real us would know." said Tucker.

"Ok, but you asked for it. A few months ago while you were in Alicia's room there was an accident with one of her spells. It turned you all into half human half animal creatures, it took exactly ten hours to fix it and Danny got fleas." said FValerie.

"We never told anyone about that. Oh my god, you really are us!" said Alicia.

"Yes, you finally get it!" said FAlicia.

"Hey kids, what is going on?" said Jack, after Tucker managed to get them down.

"Well we just meet the future versions of ourselves." said Jazz.

"What!" said Maddie as the other adults gathered around.

"Its true, we asked them to say something only we would know, and they answered correctly." said Danny.

"My god, he's right, those two look exactly like Danny and Jazz." said Maddie.

"How do you know that from just looking at them?" said Ember.

"A mother always knows her children." said Maddie.

"So, thanks for saving us." said Alicia.

"Don't mention it, now we have to go and stop Dan before he takes over the world." Said FDanny.

"How can we do that? He is too powerful." said Jack.

"We have five halfas' four ghosts, and a bunch of ghost hunting humans, I think we can do something." said FDanny.

"Wait, you said five halfas, your not suggesting we let Vlad help are you?" said Valerie.

"We need all the help we can get." said FDanny.

"But its Vlad, he's the one who started all of this. Why should that jerk help?" said Jazz.

"Um, I'm right here you know?" said Vlad.

"I know that you don't trust him, and I'm not asking you to, all I'm asking is that you fight with him. We have to stop Dan at any cost, he is to great a threat to the world to use any less then everything we got. In our time Dan has taken over not just the Earth and the Ghost Zone, but almost the entire galaxy. There are thousands of species on thousands of worlds suffering under his tyranny. I would do anything, even work with the devil himself to get rid of Dan. All I ask is that you work with Vlad, if you don't all our futures are worth nothing." said FDanny.

"He does have a point." said Vlad.

"I guess we do have to work together, but only temporarily." said Danny.

"Yes, I do think this situation calls for a temporary halt to our hostilities." said Vlad as he held out his hand.

Danny took the hand and shook, sealing the alliance.

"Ok, now that that is over we have to get to New York to stop Dan." said FDanny.

"Why New York?" said Tucker.

"Because by the time we would get to Washington it would be too late, we have to stop him at The United Nations when he demands the surrender of the world." said FAlicia.

"Well we can't go unarmed, we need to get some weapons from the lab." said Maddie.

"What about the RV and the Speeder, their trashed." said Valerie's dad, who finally found his voice after the shock of everything that had been going on.

"We have something better, come on." said Jack as they raced to the Fenton's house.

In the lab Jack and Maddie were standing in front of a large object covered with a tarp. They waited for everybody to settle down, and then Maddie spoke.

"Ladies and Gentlemen I am pleased to present the Specter Speeder mark 2." said Maddie as Jack took the tarp off.

"This model is twice as fast as the original and bigger so it can accommodate more people." said Maddie.

"Yeah, plus it is loaded with every weapon we have, every inch of this baby is a ghosts worst nightmare." said Jack, then he noticed the horrified looks on the ghosts faces.

"Uh, I mean Dan's worst nightmare, yeah." said Jack, rubbing the back of his neck in embarrassment.

"What Jack means is that it should be good for taking out Dan's army." said Maddie.

"Mom, you never cease to amaze me, this is perfect." said FDanny.

"Thank you Danny." said Maddie.

"So what's the plan? You know more about what is happening then we do." Said Valerie.

"Ok, after Dan gets the surrender of the United States, he goes to the United Nations to get the rest of the world to surrender, which is where we hit him. We wait outside the building for him to arrive, he won't bring his army because he doesn't think he'll need it. Then we beat him and the ghosts still working with him, give them everything we got, then we suck Dan and Sam into the Fenton Thermos and then it is done." said FDanny.

"Woah, hold up, what do you mean Dan and Sam?" said Danny.

"I mean we're going to capture Sam and Dan and lock them in the thermos for the rest of eternity." said FDanny.

"No way, I am not locking the girl I love in a thermos forever." said Danny.

"The girl you love is going to be responsible for millions of deaths." said FDanny, getting angry.

"But that hasn't happen yet, there is still time to save her." said Danny.

"There is no time, she is already lost!" said FDanny, starting to yell.

"How would you know!" screamed Danny.

"Because I tried." said FDanny.

"What?" said Danny in shock.

"Shortly after Dan got most of the world to surrender I went alone to see Sam. I tried to snap her out of it, I begged her to come back, but she would not listen. She attacked me and I almost didn't make it out alive. Because of my stupid action Dan figured out we were alive and we had to run, I still have the scar she gave me." said FDanny, as he lifted his shirt to reveal a nasty, jagged scar running down the side of his body.

"My god…" said Danny, the rest were speechless.

"I know, lets say I'm a little more aware of what she is capable of then you." said FDanny.

"But there still must be a way to save her, if we get the weapons Dan used on her maybe we can turn her back to normal. You loved her once, shouldn't we at least try to save her?" said Danny.

At this FDanny began to soften, after a moment he finally spoke.

"Ok, we will try to save her, but if I think it is not working she is going in the thermos." said FDanny.

"Well if you two are done we have to get to New York to stop Dan." said FValerie.

"Right, all humans to the Specter Speeder, the rest of us will fly ahead in case there is trouble." said FDanny.

"Is he always this pushy?" said Ember to FEmber.

"You have no idea, after he lost Sam he basically married himself to the resistance, it and being in charge is all he lives for now, that and kicking Dan's butt." said FEmber.

All of the humans loaded into the Specter Speeder, while all the ghosts, Danny, FDanny, Rob, FRob, and Vlad flew ahead of them. They flew high above the town and then they headed to New York city to face Dan.

As they were flying Vlad moved over to FDanny.

"Say Daniel…" said Vlad.

"Don't call me Daniel, call me Danny." said FDanny.

"Uh yes, Danny, so Danny, what ever happened to myself in the future? He does not seem to have come back with you." said Vlad.

"Do you really want to know?" said FDanny.

"Yes." said Vlad.

"Well, you we're captured by Dan during on of our attacks, he tried you on global TV and executed you." said FDanny.

"Wh-what!" said Vlad.

"It was some spectacle, I can say this, during the whole trial you should no fear, and you died a brave man. Almost all of the people in my time view you as a hero." said FDanny.

"Well, be that as it may, I would prefer not to die for a very long time." said Vlad.

"Don't worry, once we kick Dan's butt, no one has to worry about dying." said FDanny.

Our heroes flew on, not knowing what would lay ahead, but knowing that this battle would be over soon, one way or another.

Ember: Sorry to cut the chapter short, but Rob has a big paper to write, and since he is trapped in the story me and Tech boy have to do it for him, but at least we squeezed in one more chapter before it. Hey Tech boy! What is the Odyssey?

TechnoRob: It is the story of the journey of Odysseus from the city of Troy to his home in Ithaca.

Ember: Oh…who is Odysseus?

TechnoRob: This could take a while…So while we do this here is the chapter summery.

Well it looks like Danny and friends made it to the past and meet up with their past selves. Now they, Vlad, and the ghosts are off to New York to wait for him to show up so they can kick his butt. But what happened to the future Dan and Sam, what could they be up too? Will our heros be able to defeat Dan? Will they save the Earth? Or are we still all doomed to a future ruled by Dan? The only way to find out is to read the next chapter of the Return of Dan.

TechnoRob: So until next time Danny Phantom fans, Read and Review!

Ember: Hey, what is the Cyclops?

TechnoRob:…Although next time might be a while off.
