WARNING: Violence ahead.

Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom or any of his "other sides". I own April Spirit but just barely.

April flew at Dan with fire burning in her eyes. She ignored Danny's cry and proceeded to wildly beat at the evil specter. Dan was unabashed and casually blocked each punch and kick. He smirked at her and she screamed in fury. He took the opening and blasted her away.

((Cue Danny Phantom Theme Song))

April was sent flying at the bleachers that lined the soccer field and wasn't given the time to phase through them so she crashed like a meteor into the seats. Dan flew over to her but drew back as a green blast of energy brushed past his cheek.

Dan turned, "I wondered when you would jump in."

Danny glared at him, "Leave her alone."

"Not yet," April muttered as she pulled herself up from the wreckage. Her body was battered in bruises and the right sleeve of her trench coat was ripped revealing a bloodied arm. "I'm not done yet."

"Hear that Danny…she still wants to fight."

"NO!"

Dan smiled and suddenly there were two more Dan's (copies of course), who flew at Danny and grabbed him. Danny pulled against them but they held on; not allowing him to phase through their grasp.

The original Dan turned back to April and help up the thermos that contained her father, "You know maybe you should listen to your Daddy-dearest."

"SHUT UP!" April burst into purple ecto-flames and appeared to teleport from the bleachers into Dan's face (really she just moved EXTREMELY fast). She blasted him with two open hands and Dan flew backwards.

He caught himself and secured the thermos back to his belt, his grin now gone. "Serious now?" He cracked his hands which April now noticed were confined within deadly looking clawed gauntlets.

"Where—where did you get those," she asked, their sleek structure looked vaguely familiar to her.

"From my other side…the old man sure has gotten soft in his old age," Dan muttered.

"You—you saw Vlad?"

"Yes. But that's hardly the point at the moment…I thought we were in the middle of a fight. Are you going to rescue your father or not?"

April, after having delivered such a blast, was breathing hard. She wiped the sweat from her brow, "You bet."

"APRIL! STOP THIS!"

April glanced over at her father's past self, "Don't worry Danny I can handle him."

"Oh, can you?"

April turned to find Dan was right beside her. He grabbed her and wrapped a hand around her neck, choking her.

"APRIL!" Danny almost broke free from the copy-Dans' grips but was successfully pulled back.

"Not so fast Danny," the original Dan Phantom muttered, squeezing harder.

Danny stared wide eyed at the scene before him. He couldn't comprehend what he was seeing; he wanted to scream and lash out against the monster before him. 'We can't be the same person. He's actually going to kill her! That can't be what I could become,' he thought.

April gasped and wheezed; kicking with all her might against Dan. He finally dropped her and she choked up the air.

"Pathetic. Are you really descended from me? I will show you power girl."

Dan fired a blast at the ground and April managed to roll out of the way. He continued to fire blast after blast as April did her best in her weakened state to dodge. Suddenly she flew into the air at Dan in a wild tackle.

Danny watched in slow motion as Dan raised his clawed hand and drew it back. Danny sensed something horrible was about to happen…he was right.

Dan's clawed hand drove through April's gut but instead of phasing through it impaled her. April's eyes grew wide in pain and her mouth was wrenched open in a silent scream. Her hands flailed out and knocked the thermos from Dan's belt. The villain didn't notice however and smirked at the contorted body draped on his arm. He let his arm go intangible and April fell off.

She seemed to drift to the ground like a leaf as her transformation was undone and the white hair billowing around her turned black.

As soon as her body touched the ground Danny let out a gut wrenching ghostly wail which blew the two Dans holding him out of existence.

Danny ran for April, tears welling in his large green eyes. He grabbed April's hand and she turned to him, "Da—nny."

Danny opened and shut his mouth and finally managed to say two words, "April—don't."

April gazed up at him, her eyes blurring with tears, "Save—dad."

"April."

April's eyes clouded over and she closed them; her body going limp.

Dan watched on in amusement as the light faded from the girl's eyes and Danny crumpled to the ground in despair.

"You…you killed her," he said in a mere whisper.

Dan shrugged, "I've killed plenty Danny. Or don't you remember? She was merely a pest and now I can deal with you."

Danny clenched his fists, "You…you." Danny's head snapped up and his eyes blazed green and a green ghostly aura began to envelope his body pulsing with anger, "I'll—KILL YOU!"

"Tch. You can't kill me Danny," he grinned, "It isn't in you."

Danny unconsciously wrapped his free hand on the thermos and stood up; it crushed easily and beams of light shot from it. Dan reached to his side as if to see if it was the same one. 'Damn,' he thought.

The thermos blew apart and a figure floated in front of Danny for a moment before gently lowering to the ground. Danny watched coldly as the man drifted down. This was the man he was to become. Older Danny was in human form so his hair was jet black and the wind caused by the unreleased pressure of the thermos made his shaggy hair flutter about him. He had a handsome face with baby blue eyes and a bit of stubble on his chin. His clothes consisted of black jeans and a plain white tee shirt with a long sleeve red flannel shirt over that, unbuttoned. Older Danny was in human form because he had eventually worn himself out struggling to get out of the thermos.

Younger Danny dropped the jagged pieces that remained of the thermos and his green aura pulsed, "I've fulfilled April's last request…now I can take care of you."

"You can't kill me boy. You barely beat me last time. I will dest—."

Before he could finish Danny had appeared behind him, literally teleporting, and slammed a green glowing fist into Dan's head.

Dan spun around, "How did you…?" He smiled, "…this is intriguing. You're fighting with your emotions now. That will be your downfall bo—."

Danny was in his face now and punched him hard. Dan flew back and caught himself. He glared at Danny, "You want to get serious," he growled, "FINE!"

Dan exploded in an aura of red ecto-fire but Danny was unabashed. He was not about to back down on the killer of his future daughter. Below them older Danny's hand twitched, but neither noticed. They were in a standoff that would determine the course of everything.

To Be Continued…
