Chapter 3: The Time Warp

A/N: Okay then, so it looks like this chapter will be too long for me to fit into one chapter, so I'll split it into two chapters. But please, review. Then I'll make the final chapter a surprise and don't worry, that long mystery I keep dragging out will be revealed in either this or the next chapter. So stay tuned.

And now, chapter 3: The Time Warp, but first, a little recap.

Previously,

Sam: We should make our own time capsule!

Wilt: That's a great idea!

Mac: That's a dumb idea!

Jack: Say Danny, checxk out te latest ghost hunting invention, The Fenton Time Capsule!

Danny: This is perfect!

Technus: Do not interfere with my plans!

Danny: Aren't you at least going to blab out your plan?

Technus: Well, since you're about to be destroyed, I might as well tell you my plan...

"Send me back in time to my parents' college days, Clockwork."-Danny-Masters of All Time
"I guess I will tell you my plan." Technus said. "Well, I stole Clockwork's time staff from behind his back, and saw that your goofy father invented this capsule that will send anything into thin air until its timed date. So, I'm modifying it so that with this staff, it sends you to that time once you're zapped. Pretty cool huh?"

"Wow, I didn't think it was possible, but that has got to be one of the bvest plans you've ever come up with." Danny sighed.

"I should've guessed you'd do that."

"Hey!"

"Too bad you won't succeed this time in stopping me...because I'm done!"

"You are?"

"I'm not stupid, you're just butting into my business and you're always cranky."

"WHat? No I"m not! You're just trying to mess with me, aren't you."

"Yes, and it's true. And now, prepare to PERISH!" He fired a plasma blast from the capsule, but Danny was able to dodge. He can fly up to 175 mph now. Hee flew home to see if he had any gadgets to stop Technus. Unfourtnetly, Jack was the goofball he is now. There was nothing he could do about it. But...

Perhaps Clockwork could help.

"I am the master of time, not the master of miracles."-Clockwork-Masters of All time
Clcokwork arrived at the scene of the crime, as he saw Technus fiddling with the time capsule. He couldn't do anything but watch since he didn't have his staff. Danny was at the scene watching Technus unvale his plot. Only this time, Danny was all tied up, literally. He couldn't do anything. But the others could.

Mac watched as Technus was jinxing their time capsule. But in his mind, he had other problems of his own!

"Yu know you gotta do it, Mac! It's the only way!" His thoughts said.

"I can't. I won't!" He answered back.

"Oh, so you're just gonna let that freaky ghost take over that capsule while you sit here helplessly?"

"OH don't even start there..."

"So help Danny! You know you gotta do it." Mac thought for a second, then reached into his collar, and pulled out a golden keychain.

"Sorry dad, but this is for my friends!" He aimed at Technus, and through it. The result: it hit Technus's neck and he dropped all his things. Danny looked up at the window, and saw Mac, with a sad face.

"Alright!" Danny said. "Way to go, Mac! YOU ARE THE BOMB!" He charged at Technus. He looked up and saw Danny, but he couldn't dodge in time. He was knocked to the ground, but used the staff to knock Danny out. But before he could attack again, he found himself sliding into the ground right under a 16-wheeler. It was of course-Dani Phantom, back from her last run in from Technus. (in Chapter 2)

"Must you two tempt me?" Technus asked, lifting up the truck. "If so, then eat 16 wheels of eternal oil!"

"Dani, run!" Danny shouted. "If that gas hits you, you'll lose all your ghost power! And without that, you could melt into ectoplasm!"

"Oh, now you tell me?"

"Just RUN!" And she did, but Danny didi too, right to the keychain. He picked it up and saw the engraving: Lancelot Kazoo, world's greatest dad

"Wait, this is the same keychain that Mac's dad gave him..." He froze, in memory. "...before he left for Antarctica."

"Well, I guess carelessness runs in the family." Technus said behind him.

"Yeah...AND I GUESS SYMPATHY DOESN'T EXIST IN THE GHOST ZONE!" Danny yelled. "Your expressions say to me 'Hi, I'm Technus and I like to insult everyone I see'". Now he was facing him. "Well you know what I say...EAT GHOSTLY WAIL!" He inhaled in deeply, and unleashed his most powerful attack. It knocked back Technus so hard his weapon came apart and seperated into the time capsule and the time staff. Danny took out the Fenton Thermos, only to find that Technus was gone.

"Great, I used up that power for nothing." He said, putting the thermos down.

"Really?" Technus shouted, behind him, coming from the ground. "I beg to differ!"

"Yeah, we'll see about that!" he picked up the thermos, sucked Technus in and transformed back into Danny Fenton, because there was one thing to get off his chest.

"Actually, I have to tell you something."-Danny-Mystery Meat
"And so, Mac's mother had that keychain engraved for him as a father's day gift. He was proud to get it. But then he was called out to an exibitation of the icicles in Antarctica. That was the last time he was seen by the family." Danny explained to the gang. "It was about a year ago that he was coming home, but then a ghost attack caused the ride to break down. He hasn't escaped since. In fact, we don't even know if he's still alive. That was when Mac began to look up to me as not just a cousion, but a friend."

A/N: Sorry, but my first fanfic was supposed to state that Danny and Mac are cousions. Sorry.

"Wow, I never thought that a simple keychain could represent an entire lifetime." Wilt said, upset.

"Yeah, I completly forgot about that man." Bloo said.

"Yeah, and it made me decide..." Mac said, finally. "...I know what to bury."

"Speaking of burying, there just one more thing we have to take care of." Danny said, putting on a frown.

To be continued
Okay then. I may styart writing shorter fanfics, and if I do, I'll stretch out the chapters. Chapter 4, on the way!
