A/N: Thanks divinedragon7 and CharmedMilliE for your reviews! I'm glad you guys like the sequel so far.
Okay, I've only seen Ultimate Enemy once so some facts might be off. Also, Dan Phantom's only five years ahead not ten in this one because that'd just make him too old. I mean, if Danny was 21 when he and Sam got married, and they're going to be celebrating 9 years of marriage, that'd make Dan Phantom 40 instead of 35. LOL Oh, yeah, and Clockwork and the Observants are kind of out of character. :D
Disclaimer: See Chapter 1Chapter 2
Clockwork watched patiently as the Observants revealed to him a parade of events in the future of a Daniel Fenton. Dan Phantom rampaged the towns until they invented ghost shields; Dan Phantom gained a new power called the Ghostly Wail and used it against the ghost shields; Valerie was risking her life to keep an army out of Dan Phantom's hands; Dan Phantom tortured and slaughtered many before finally taking over the world.
"What do you want me to do about it?" he asked once they were finished.
"Stop Daniel Fenton at all costs. This," an image of Dan Phantom flashed upon the Observants' portal, "must not happen." They turned to another portal where an image flashed of Daniel Fenton playing with two children. "It would be best to attack him when he is most vulnerable."
"The future will be saved…without killing him." Clockwork took a medallion from a nearby hook, smiling at it as a plan formed in his mind.
Danny woke in the middle of the night from the same nightmare. He sat up slowly, breathing hard. Beside him, Sam also sat up.
"Again?" she whispered, rubbing his shoulders.
He didn't answer; he didn't need to. He pulled her into his arms, holding her close. "I'm afraid for you, Sam," he whispered.
"I'm not going anywhere," she whispered back, wrapping her arms around his neck. "You don't have to worry about me and the kids, okay?"
"But the dreams are just so real." He trembled and held her closer. "I can hear you screaming in my head."
She looked up, gazing into his frightened blue eyes. "Danny, the only way the kids and I are going to end up anywhere near an overheating boiler is if someone kidnaps us and locks us in there."
"And that's what I'm afraid of. The whole town knows I'm Danny Phantom. What's to stop my ghost enemies from knowing?" He reached up to caress her cheek. "I don't know what I'd do if I lost you or the kids."
She hugged him, resting her cheek against his shoulder. "You're not going to loose us," she whispered. "I promise."
Danny stretched then looked back at the computer screen before him. He worked as a security tech where he had once accidentally been the cause of Valerie's dad loosing his job. Valerie's dad was now his boss.
"Hey, Danny."
He looked up as the door opened. "Hi, Mr. Gray." He stifled a yawn. "How's Tucker treating Valerie?" The two had gotten married a few months after he and Sam.
"She's like a princess in a small palace." Mr. Gray glanced toward the ghost hybrid who had set his head on the desk. "Looks like Sam's not treating you too well…again."
"It's not Sam this time. Just my head."
When Sam had wanted another child, she made sure Danny didn't sleep a wink until he agreed to give her one.
Danny sighed and rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand. "I'm fine though. Don't worry."
Screaming was heard from the hallways then a small ghost phased through the door into the security area. She had pigtails and was wearing overalls and a pink hat resembling something a cafeteria helper would wear.
"I am Boxed Lunch!" she cried.
Danny and Mr. Gray stared at her then burst out laughing. She didn't look any older than Hailey. "Boxed Lunch?" Danny asked.
"Daughter of the Box Ghost and the Lunch Lady! Beware!"
"Ew," he and Mr. Gray said at the exact same time.
A/N: Now, as we all know, Danny's going to beat her, and she's going to disappear because her medallion falls off… Blah, blah, blah. There's going to be a teeny, tiny difference though. Instead of the CAT scores, it's going to be something else… that's worse. Mwahahaha!
