DarkFoxKit: Hello everyone. Here's the next update to We Are Phantoms.
Andy: Fox! Are you playing on Pokemon Colosseum again?
DarkFoxKit: I'm in the after game! I must purify all Shadow Pokemon and beat Mt. Battle in Colosseum mode to get Ho-Oh!
Andy: Whoa now, Fox. Why don't you just put the GameCube controller down and-
DarkFoxKit: No! Everyone else are playing Pokemon GO, I'm staying right here in the comforts of my home to play an old GameCube game.
Andy: Fox! The camera's still rolling!
DarkFoxKit: ... What are you guys still doing here? Go on, read the chapter.
Chapter 36: Into The Future
"Clockwork!" I smiled.
Clockwork looked down and smiled at me, "It's good to see you again, Andy."
"Wait, Andy, you know this guy?" Sam pointed at him, looking at me in shock.
"This is Clockwork?" Danny asked.
"No, it's just a regular ghost who likes clocks. Of course this is Clockwork, he just introduced himself," I said as Danny just rolled his eyes at me. "And yes, Sam, I know him. He helped me before."
"Whoa, that's so neat. So you can literally control time?" Tucker asked, looking at Clockwork like he was the most fascinating PDA in the world.
"In a sense," Clockwork said. "See, for me time moves backwards," he turned into a child. "And forwards," he turned into a young adult. "And… oh why do I even bother? You're 14," he said as he turned into an old man.
"I think they get the gist of it," I said. "Clockwork, would you mind telling us what's going on? I kept getting these warnings from some voice in my head, and these dreams and visions, I-"
"Calm yourself, Andy," Clockwork said as he held up a hand. "The visions, as you know by now, are a side effect from when you gained some of my powers. The future shows you what could happen as a warning, sometimes you may be able to change it, other times you can't. As for the voices and dreams… well, let's just say you've been doing that to yourself."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Hey, what is this?" I heard Sam asked.
I turned around and saw that Danny, Tucker and Sam were looking at the time window. The time window said '10 years' and showed that big, destructive Danny I've been seeing in my nightmares blasting people with his ghost ray. The evil Danny was laughing as he destroyed buildings and killing innocent people. Tanks from the military tried to stop him, but then he took a deep breath and released a sonicboom kind of power from his mouth. I could literally see green sound waves breaking the glass windows and tearing apart the tanks like they were just made of wet paper.
"That's it, that's what I've been seeing in my dreams lately," I said, pushing between Tucker and Sam to get a better look.
"Is this Danny in the future?" Sam asked. "Jeez Danny, you're a really big jerk."
A big jerk? That's putting it lightly, he's more like a psychotic genocidal maniac; he's destroying and killing everyone for the sport of it, but I didn't want to say that outloud for the sake of Danny being here with me.
"Whoa," was not a response I expected from him, he sounded impressed rather than horrified. "What was that? Some kind of ghostly wail? What an awesome power!"
I stared at him, Tucker and Sam were staring at him too. Danny frowned, as if just realizing what he just said. "If it wasn't being used for evil!"
I wonder if Danny acting in awe like that was a coping mechanism? I mean seeing that you become an evil monster like that has got to be traumatizing, especially since Danny had already been 'evil' before.
"But I don't understand, how did I get this way?" Danny asked, turning back to Clockwork. "I thought I… you know… learned my lesson after the first time."
"First time? Wait, when was this?" Tucker and Sam asked in unison.
"There are different reasons and ways to turn evil, you know," I said to my brother, ignoring Tucker and Sam's question.
"Wait, did we miss something here? When was Danny ever evil?" Sam spoke up, gesturing at Danny with her hands in an exasperated way. "Is it because of Freakshow? He was being mind controlled, that doesn't mean he was evil!"
"It was because of Freakshow… and Desiree… and me…" I said, not sure if we should tell them.
"What? What are you talking about?" Sam frowned.
"Yeah, that makes no sense, you didn't even know of Desiree's existence until after you got your own powers, and I'm pretty sure Danny wasn't evil then," Tucker pointed at me.
I looked at Danny and Clockwork, wondering if we should tell them. Danny looked away, before Clockwork raised his staff and the time window changed, showing me making that wish. It felt so long ago that it was like watching a home video from my childhood, but not in a good way. Tucker and Sam watched as Clockwork showed what had happened in the corrupted era, and how it was stopped.
Tucker and Sam were speechless. They turned around to face us before Sam put her hands on her hips.
"... And why don't we remember any of this happening?" Sam demanded.
"Because when I reversed time, the timeline where Danny changed everyone never existed, so it never technically happened. The only reason Danny and I remember it is because we were in the void," I answered. "Well… it was a miracle that Danny remembered me while I was in the void."
"But were you really evil? I mean you seem to really believe you were doing the right thing," Tucker said.
"Yeah, and this Danny seem to like the destruction he's causing," Sam said, pointing back at the time window that showed the ten year future.
"You guys… really think I wasn't that bad?" Danny asked with a hopeful tone in his voice.
"Your intentions were good, but you went about it the wrong way," Sam said.
"And besides, that mist corrupted you as Andy said, so it wasn't all your fault either," Tucker said.
Danny gave them a small smile, and so did I. Tucker and Sam always knew what to say to my brother.
I turned back to Clockwork and said, "But how did Danny become that way?"
"I could tell you, however my employers want me to destroy your brother so that future never comes to be," Clockwork said, turning into a young man.
"What? Clockwork, you're not seriously going to do that, right?" I asked nervously.
"I have no choice, Andy. There are rules even I have to abide by," Clockwork said. "But let's see how well you and your brother can face off against me." I wasn't sure, but I think he gave a mischievous smile.
"Wait, I thought you were Andy's friend, why would you do this?" Danny demanded.
"Friend or not, my duties come first," Clockwork said. "So defend yourself."
I didn't know what Clockwork was planning, but I felt the stinging pain of betrayal. Surely he wasn't really going to destroy Danny, right?
"Clockwork, please don't do this," I begged, standing in front of my brother.
"I do apologize for this, Andy," Clockwork said, holding his time staff tightly. "But I must do what I have to in order to protect the time stream."
"Some friend you turned out to be," Danny growled. "I'm going ghost!"
Danny allowed the ring of light flash over him as he transformed. I did the same without the battle cry. I can't believe I have to fight against Clockwork in order to protect my brother. He helped me bring back my brother, and now he's going to kill him… I… I can't let him do that.
"Time Out!" Clockwork's voice echoed as he pushed a button on the time staff.
I saw Danny's ring of light going… backwards? Usually when he turns human the lights would go out the same way it would when he turns ghost, but they literally went back towards his torso. It was like watching my brother on rewind, and it was disorienting.
"I'm going ghost!" Danny yelled again, before frowning and holding his head. "Whoa, serious deja vu."
"Wait, did you just get reset?" I asked, staring at him.
"What?" Danny looked at me, before shaking his head. "Come on, we have to fight." he transformed again, before flying up at Clockwork.
I guess I should've expected Clockwork to be able to reset or pause time. I flew behind Danny, though I was hesitant because I didn't want to fight Clockwork. Then Clockwork pushed the button on his Time Staff again, freezing Danny in place. I fired a weak ghost ray at Clockwork, enough to push him back but not enough to really hurt him.
Time unfroze for Danny and he flew at Clockwork to punch him, but Clockwork dodged and Danny hit a bell. "Time Out!" Clockwork reset Danny hitting the bell again.
"H-hey, stop that!" I kicked Clockwork's arm to try to get him to let go of the Time Staff, but all it did was stop the resetting.
I saw Danny coming up behind him, but Clockwork pushed the Time Staff again. "Time Out!"
Danny froze in time again. I looked over at Tucker and Sam and noticed they were frozen too. Wait, why are they frozen? Did Clockwork actually freeze time? Then why am I… oh, right, I was still wearing my Time Medallion. That's it, I have to get Time Medallions for my brother and friends, then we'll even the plane field!
I turned myself invisible as I quickly flew down, feeling my legs fuse into a misty tail, looking for wherever Clockwork keeps his Time Medallion.
"Come on, where… ah-ha, there!" I smiled, seeing a wall full of Time Medallions. I rushed over and grabbed three of them.
When I turned to get these Time Medallions on my friends, I saw the last person I expected to see here; Dustin.
Dustin was looking at me before he gasped and sink into the floor before I could say anything to him.
"Wha- Dustin!?" I looked down at the floor he disappeared into.
"It's time I finished you off, Danny," I heard Clockwork say. I shook my head, now was not the time to worry about Dustin.
I flew as fast as I could back to Danny, my tail wavering to help me gain speed. I threw the two medallions on Tucker and Sam as I passed them by, seeing Clockwork putting down his Time Staff and grabbing a scythe. I tackled him away from my brother.
"Sorry Clockwork, I won't let you hurt my brother," I said before throwing the last Time Medallion onto my frozen brother's neck. He blinked before his body moved again.
"Whoa, what just happened?" He asked as he landed near Tucker and Sam, who were checking out the Time Medallions around their neck.
I ran over to join them and said, "Keep these on, they'll protect him from Clockwork's time powers."
"You all have seen too much, now I must erase you before you permanently alter the time stream," Clockwork said as he turned into an old man.
Clockwork, somehow, summoned different versions of himself to surround us. I saw a Clockwork wearing a soldier's uniform with a gun, a Clockwork wearing a viking outfit, another Clockwork that looks like a… muscular caveman with a loin cloth and a club, another Clockwork wearing an exterminator outfit with some kind of flamethrower on his back, and a Clockwork wearing a green military outfit with a bazooka. What even is this? Clockworks from different timelines? Okay, this is ridiculous, even for Clockwork.
"Nowhere to run," The original Clockwork said, turning into a young man again.
I looked back and noticed he boxed us in right next to the time window. Wait, what? Why would he do that? Doesn't he know it's dangerous to let us too close to the time window? We could go into the future and- wait… was that his plan all along? Drive us into the future? But why?
"Nowhere but the future!" Danny yelled, breaking my train of thought as he grabbed Tucker and Sam before diving into the time window.
I looked at the window and back at all the Clockworks. I wasn't sure if I should follow them, but Clockwork didn't seem to want to talk right now. He looked at me as he turned into a child, before gesturing to the time window.
"Well Andy? Go on." he smiled. "Let's see if you have what it takes to face that future."
He and the other Clockworks began to crowd me, trying to push me into the time window. I still didn't know why he was doing this, but… Wait, is that Dustin over there? I wanted to fly at him to be sure, but I don't think the Clockworks will let me, even if I go intangible they could easily catch me. I gulped before turning around and flying into the time window.
It felt like I was flying through a tunnel for a short time before I fell through a hole and landed on concrete.
"Andy! Oh I was worried you got caught there for a second," Danny said in relief when he saw me.
We were both still in our ghost forms. Tucker and Sam looked around as Danny floated ahead.
"Whoa, this place is even worse in person," I said.
"How do you think this all happened?" Sam asked.
"I don't think I want to know." Danny frowned. "I get the feeling it's my fault…"
"Considering your evil future self? That might be the case," Tucker said.
"No," I said. "Whoever that was destroying everything isn't Danny, as far as I'm concerned, that thing is just a monster using what was once my brother's ghost."
"So what should we do now?" Tucker asked.
I looked around before noticing something, a statue… It was a statue of Mom, Dad, Jazz, Tucker and Sam. There was a separate statute of Mr. Lancer nearby. There were words carved in at the bottom that said 'Gone but not Forgotten'. Wait… I felt my stomach growing queasy as I backed away from the statue and turned to Tucker, Sam and Danny, who were looking around at the ruined city themselves.
"Guys," I called, getting their attention. "You might want to take a look at this."
"What is- hey! Is that a statue of us?" Tucker said as he ran over beside me, noticing the statue.
"I don't like what those words are implying," Sam said when she came up beside me. "Are we… did… did we die in the future?"
"I really don't like this," Danny said as he floated above me.
"You two, our parents, Jazz and Mr. Lancer must've died at some point, and it looks like around our time seeing how the statue has you guys the same age as you are now," I said.
"Is that really our future?" Tucker was looking pale. "I'm definitely not taking the C.A.T.!"
"I don't think that matters, Tucker," I said. "We have to figure out how this happened and why."
"Well, can't you use your future visions or something?" Danny asked.
"I can't control when those visions come," I said. "And besides, we're in the future now, would I even be able to see what happened that's considered in the past?"
"You're a bunch of suicidal idiots to come here."
That voice… I turned around along with my friends to see Dustin was there. Did he follow us into the time window?
"What are you doing here?" Danny demanded.
There was something about Dustin that seemed different… he seemed more… scared? He was looking around nervously, almost as if expecting something or someone to attack us at any moment. Did he know about the evil Danny?
"I could ask you three the same question," Dustin hissed at Danny. "I can't believe that meddlesome Clockwork is doing this, his time shenanigans are going to get us all obliterated."
"How do you know about Clockwork?" Danny asked.
"He was there," I said.
"What?" Danny, Tucker and Sam looked at me.
"I saw him. Dustin was there when we were in Clockwork's tower," I said.
"Yes, I was there," Dustin said. "And now I'm going to end this before it gets ugly."
"What are you going to do?" I demanded as Dustin held up his hand at us.
"I'm going to take out the problem!" Dustin hissed before shooting out a ghost ray at Danny.
"Look out!" I pushed Danny away from the attack, barely missing us both as it shot at the Mr. Lancer statue, causing it to sink into the ground.
I glared at Dustin, "What's your problem!?"
"Don't you see? Your brother is the cause of this! He needs to die before his crueler, much stronger future self finds and eliminates us all!" Dustin growled.
"I'm not going to let you kill him, Dustin!" I snapped before I flew right at him and tackled the ghost boy into a building.
I heard Danny and friends calling me, but I ignored them in favor of focusing on Dustin. Dustin pushed me off him and I landed on my hands and feet.
"Do you think you're doing your brother a favor by protecting him?" Dustin hissed. "All you're doing is allowing the inevitable to happen to him. You wanted to show mercy, and killing Danny would be the greatest mercy for him, otherwise he'll turn into a killer himself and I know neither of you soft hearted idiots want that."
"No, we don't. But the future isn't set in stone," I said. "I'm not going to let you kill my brother when there could be another way."
Dustin's hands were glowing with ectoplasm and I knew I better brace myself. "Oh you think you know better? Well guess what? Sometimes you have to kill in order to get a better future!"
I felt my own ghost ray forming in my hands and formed it to try to make a shield in front of me. I was surprised at how easy it worked, a green square shield came up in front of me just as Dustin fired his ghost ray at me, and the shield easily absorbed it.
My body shivered. Something powerful was coming, I've never felt anything this strong or evil before, except for Pariah Dark, but this felt different from him.
"Get out of my way!" Dustin growled. "If I don't kill Danny right now, then we're all dead!"
Before I could reply back, I heard a blast not too far behind me as well as my brother's cry. I turned back, despite having an enemy in front of me, to see Danny trapped in a green glowing net, and… is that… Valerie…? On her hoverboard, pointing a big bazooka at Danny.
"Thought you could fool me a second time, ghost?" The woman who looked like an older Valerie hissed at Danny.
I turned back to Dustin, and he glared, "Don't say that I didn't warn you, idiot."
Before I could even retort, he phased through the road and disappeared. I didn't have time to go after him right now, I had to stop the woman I'm assuming is Valerie ten years later from destroying my brother. Sheesh, first Box Lunch, then Skulktech, then Dustin, and now Valerie, everyone's just after Danny today.
"Valerie stop!" I shouted as I came in front of my trapped brother, ready to block her attack.
"Wha-" The older Valerie looked shock before Tucker and Sam stood beside me.
"Please don't hurt him!" Sam begged.
"He's our friend!" Tucker said.
If older Valerie was shocked when she saw me, she was outright stunned at seeing Tucker and Sam.
"Sam? Tucker!? This has to be a trick, you two can't be alive!" Older Valerie said, her face still in shock.
"That's it, I'm not taking the C.A.T. period," Tucker groaned.
"The C.A.T., that was the last time I saw you two alive… there was a big explosion at the Nasty Burger…" Older Valerie looked at us. "You and Sam, Danny and Andy's parents… wait, Andy? Why are you defending him? And… why are you…?"
"Huh?" I looked at her. I had no idea what she was going on about, but something tells me there's a future me who's still alive.
A red ghost ray blasted older Valerie before I could ask her anything, and she slide across the road… that looked painful.
"How curious," A voice… a voice that I thought I'd never hear outside of my nightmares.
I felt my chest falling into the pit of my stomach, and I felt my blood (ectoplasm?) grow cold as I slowly looked up to see something that was literally in my nightmares; an older Danny Phantom who looked like he was half Vlad Plasmius with flaming white hair.
"So… Clockwork is meddling again I see," The ghost said as he landed in front of us. I could already feel the overwhelming power from his aura, it was enough to make my stomach feel nauseous.
Tucker, Sam and Danny were all speechless, not that I could blame them. The aura of this guy's power and evil was enough to make anyone feel sick to their stomach, however I've seen this guy enough times in my nightmares that I was a little more used to it.
"... Danny?" I dared to say.
The evil Danny looked at me before laughing, "Oh Andy, I've forgotten how full of hope you used to look! But call me Dan, it has a nicer ring to it than 'Danny'."
Since I was in front of Danny, I couldn't see his reaction to this, but I can pretty much guarantee he's not liking what he's seeing right now.
"What… happened to you?" I asked, seeing how I was the only one in our group talking right now.
"Why should I bother explaining it to you? After all…" Dan smirked, whether it was at me or Danny who was behind me I wasn't sure. "... It's bound to happen with your Danny soon."
Then to my horror, Dan's hands were glowing, powering up a deadly ghost ray. "Or I could just speed up the process now, that would be fun."
I grabbed Tucker and Sam's arms and pulled them behind me, they both let out a surprised yelp as I stood protectively in front of them, glaring at Dan.
"Don't you dare!" I growled.
"Oh, like you could stop me, my weak little brother?" Dan's grin was so wide it almost threaten to split his face. "This will be even more entertaining than I thought."
I quickly raised up an ecto shield just as Dan fired his red ghost ray at us. I made sure Tucker and Sam were still behind me, hopefully trying to get Danny out of the net. The ghost rays were far stronger than I thought, because my shield was already starting to crack. I put more energy into the shield, pouring as much energy as I could from my core, but I was starting to feel tired. My body was aching for me to stop, but I couldn't let up, because once I do the shield will shatter and we'll all be blasted.
I could hear Dan laughing as he continued firing his ghost ray, "This is just too easy. You're nowhere near as frustrating as your future self is! I'm not even breaking a sweat."
This is bad, I can't hold on much longer… I was shaking, my body was trembling from having to hold the shield from such power.
"Andy!" I heard my friends yelling from behind me.
"You… you… gotta… run…" I barely managed to croak. "Run… now…! I… I can't… hold it…"
There was a blast sound, and the ghost ray stopped firing. I immediately let down the cracked shield and fell on my hands and knees. I was exhausted, I felt like I could pass out. My head was spinning, and I noticed a ring of light passed me. Oh… I must've used up so much energy into that shield that my body returned to my human self. I looked up to see what hit Dan, and saw it was older Valerie. She was on her hoverboard again, pointing the bazooka at Dan, who was coming up from one of the crumbled buildings.
"Seems even the past is coming up to try and defeat you," Valerie said casually.
Dan gave a glare before he flew up and fired another ghost ray at her. She dodged while on her hoverboard.
"Andy… we have to get out of here," I felt someone pulling me up to my feet, and I could see it was Sam.
"Got it!" I heard Tucker yell in triumph, and I'm guessing he managed to get Danny out of the net.
"Andy, are you alright?" I heard Danny asked as Sam helped me turn around.
"Fine… just… exhausted," I answered, trying to catch my breath.
"We have to get out of here, dude, or that ghost is going to vaporize us!" Tucker yelled frantically.
"We can't just leave Valerie to deal with him," Danny protested, looking up worriedly.
"And what are we going to do?" Sam asked. "We're no match for a ghost that powerful!"
"We have to do something!" Danny yelled.
Valerie was firing torpedoes at Dan, but he easily dodged by duplicating himself before coming together and grabbed Valerie's hands.
"Valerie!" I found myself yelling before reaching into my core and transforming into my phantom form again.
Danny and I flew at Dan before I could even think, and we fired our ghost rays at him. This caught Dan by surprise as both of our rays hit him from behind, forcing him off of Valerie.
"You guys are from the past, aren't you?" Valerie said to us. "In that case, you better get out of here, now!"
Dan came up from behind Valerie and blasted her with his ghost ray before either of us could stop him.
Dan grinned at me before he said, "Perhaps I should kill you now before you become a thorn in my side."
I grabbed Danny and tried to make a run for it, but I felt a searing pain behind me. It hurts so much… I think I might… just… faint…
I blinked and was talking with Valerie. Was that a future vision?
"Did you hear me? You two need to leave!" Valerie shouted.
I saw Dan coming up from behind, and rushed forward. "Look out!" And I tackled her to the ground, barely dodging that ghost ray.
Dan turned and fired another ghost ray. I grabbed Valerie and flew away from the shot.
"Andy, put me down," Valerie said calmly. "I can handle it from here."
I looked at her, but knew better than to argue. This Valerie knew what to do. I let go of her and she clicked her heels, summoning her hoverboard.
Danny flew around us before floating next to me, "You're going down!"
Dan laughed before he said, "You three actually believe you stand a chance? Oh please."
Dan smirked as he held his hand in the opposite direction, "Hero types are easily manipulated once you put them in the right situation."
Dan fired his ghost ray, and I saw Danny diving forward, yelling, "TUCKER! SAM!"
Danny flew in front of the ghost ray to protect our friends, but he got blasted into the ground.
I gasped when I saw Dan just firing his ghost ray. I acted quickly and threw an ecto ball at his ghost ray, hoping to cancel it out since I don't know how to put shields on other people yet. The ghost ray collided with the ecto ball and caused an explosion. I had to shut my eyes from the smoke and debris.
"Looks like you're going to have to try a little harder than that," I heard Valerie say, and she was probably talking to Dan.
I rubbed my eyes to try to get them open as quickly as possible, seeing Dan already coming at us. He created three solid clones and each of them were going to fight us. I didn't know if I'm fighting the real one or a clone, but he's still just as dangerous. I flew back and summoned my Plasma Rod, before swinging it at Dan. I couldn't see what Valerie or Danny were doing, but I'm hoping they're okay. I'm probably the weakest one here as I have the least amount of experience.
Dan flew through my rod and grabbed my arm. I hissed as he sent jolts of electricity into my arm, it felt like knives were cutting their way into my veins, it hurts too much for me to concentrate and go intangible. I let out a scream as I tried to kick him. My foot did managed to hit his leg, but it didn't seem to faze him at all.
When I managed to open my eyes again, everything around me was spinning… no wait, I think I'm the one who's spinning. Dan was spinning me before he released my arm and I was sent flying. Ugh… I hit something hard, which I'm assuming is a building or a really big rock. I had forgotten I used up a lot of my powers earlier, and this cost me.
My body reverted back to my human form without my say, and I fell on my knees. I was too weak to transform again.
"Andy!" I heard my friends yelling.
I looked up to see Dan flying at me. I gasped just before he was blasted away by Valerie's bazooka. She flew in front of me and said, "I told you to get out of here. If you stay any longer he'll kill you."
Tucker and Sam rushed over to me.
"Andy, dude are you okay?" Tucker asked in concern.
"You took a pretty big hit back there," Sam said in concern.
"I'm fine…" I answered. "I just used up a lot of energy earlier."
I saw Danny trying to fly to us, but Dan grabbed him by the leg and threw him to the other side before the evil ghost grinned evilly at us.
Dan released the Ghostly Wail. It was loud and powerful, and I couldn't even move. I heard the buildings falling around us, glass shattering and rocks falling on us.
"Run!" I screamed. "RUN NOW!"
But there wasn't anything I could do to prevent this vision… or can I? Dan took a deep breath, and without really thinking, I launched myself at Tucker and Sam, grabbing their Time Medallions and yanking them off before they could have a say in the matter.
"Andy, what-?" They looked at me in shock before they disappeared in a flash of light, back to our own time period.
As soon as they disappeared, those green sound waves coming from Dan's mouth hit me and Valerie hard. My ears and head was flooded by that screeching wail, it was hard for me to think. I tried to cover my ears, but it barely did any good. I could feel the area around me trembling, glass shattered, buildings were collapsing. Valerie and I are going to get crushed at this rate.
I felt something grab me, but I couldn't see who or what it was, my head was hurting from the Ghostly Wail and I couldn't keep my eyes open. I felt something tingle before all went deathly quiet…
DarkFoxKit: I decided not to keep you guys waiting too terribly long for the next update. Just don't expect the next one to be as quick. ^^' Anyways, time to answer the reviews.
spatterson: Well here's the update.
Auguste the clown: Yup, I hope this chapter didn't disappoint.
Barely Existent: Here's the next one.
sjsreader: It's always fun to have your characters point out the cartoon mindsets. XD There are a lot of fun ideas I have for this movie, now it's just a matter of executing them.
Blue: You should probably rewatch the movie then, although it's more of a two parter than a movie. Always happy to see you so excited. XD
Andy: Hi, nice to see you again Blue. And yes, I have seen Danganronpa, it really solidifies why I think teddy bears are evil! And anyways, my favorite character? It would either be Makoto or Hinata. They both remind me of myself in a way and I can easily relate to them, especially being a normal person among super talented people. And DarkFoxKit is following the anime, so she's pretty much making me watch it with her. ... A crush? H-hey! I do not! Nor am I a cute dork! *pouts*
OMNISENSE95: Present Andy or Future Andy? I guess you mean present Andy. Well he's had enough of freaking out, so he's going to take matters into his own hands.
Lizzie2145: Yeah, but I'm trying not to make too many more Undertale references. I've calmed down a bit from it.
ZAFT Prime: Okay, I guess. ^^' Thanks for liking it. :) I don't like how it determines a person's future either, I think it's really stupid. I don't even know why schools think it's even necessary to stress their students out so much over it.
Joltik12: ... Uh... you're talking to Andy or me here? And I personally like Frosslass as a Ghost type, though I don't usually use Ghost types on my team. Not because I don't like them, but because by the time I find one, I already have a full team. And well actually, the ironic thing is Andy did try that stunt from before he became a half ghost himself, so that's why he knows it wouldn't work. ^^' And the plural for Andy? It's just a name, so there shouldn't be a plural, but I guess it would be more like Andys.
Andy: What!? Why would I kiss Valerie? And hello! Valerie's got a big revenge grudge on the Phantom brothers, Danny because of what happened with the whole job firing lab incident, and his brother by association! I think telling her I have ghost powers is like trying to shake a wasp nest! And... I'm smart? Well that's good to know. ... You would shrink and hug me until I die? Why? *raises an eyebrow. Ugh... Fox doesn't turn people into plushies, her other muse Mew does, and she's not here.
DarkFoxKit: You've read this and the prequel 10 times? ... Maybe you should talk to someone. ^^' But hey, I'm flattered to know you love my books so much you've reread the whole thing so many times. XP
Luna Lillyth: O.O' Scary.
PrincessDragon96: I'm glad to know an update lifted your spirits a little bit. :D I hope things get better for you soon. I can't stand the heat myself.
Andy: Hey, it's good to be back, I guess. My brother could be a Treeko or Charmander? Interesting. I could use him as my Kanto or Hoenn starter!
Mana: Admittedly that is a pretty funny scene. XD Meeting Dan seems to be on everyone's waiting list. ^^' Yeah, being an author is tough, especially when writer's block hits you. It's only too bad that we'll never get to see how the parents would actually help them, like there could've been an episode where their dad would mess everything up like how Jazz used to, only he's much more stubborn about it, while Maddie tries to come up with inventions to help her son and maybe even have him volunteer to get 'checkups' so she could study his ghost powers without dissecting him.
Andy: I'll be fine, but dang that was a migraine!
Andy's Fangirl: Nah, nobody could replace future Vlad.
Andy: If you asked me that when I was still freaking out over my powers, then the answer would've been 'heck yes I would!', but now, I think maybe it's good I have these powers. At least now I can actually help my brother when he really needs it.
DarkFoxKit: If he did go back in time and stopped the incident, well a lot of things could happen. But I guess the likely thing that would happen is that Andy wouldn't get his powers and the rest of the series have him as a normal human boy trying to help Danny along with Tucker and Sam.
leslidannyphantom: Yup! People just wanna know more about Andy so I let them ask him what they wanna ask. And of course Skulltech would, I think he knows a bit more about time travel than one would think, also neat and cute drawing. :)
Andy: Err... thanks? Although I'm far from perfect. ^^' Actually I like all four of those you just listed, I can't just pick a favorite. But I guess if I had to go with one... maybe chocolate. And as for your question... either try to survive until someone saves me or eventually go mad myself.
BLINIX: Yeah, he's here.
Anime lover 3593: Heh, I know that feeling. Rereading a story you enjoy but skip to the chapters you want to read. Well Skulltech is more aware of time travel and he developed technology to combat against ghosts or people who can use temporal powers like Andy or Clockwork, though Clockwork could still overpower him if he wanted to. As for is future Andy a threat to them or not, well let's just say it was never stated that future Andy wasn't a threat to him.
I haven't looked at the crossover in a while, mostly because I'm focusing on Child of Mew at the moment, but thanks for the encouragement.
Andy: Well it's more of because I either forget or it's just really hard to bring up the subject. Can you imagine trying to tell your mother that her very close friend and sister just died? It may be important to tell her, but it's not easy. And as for who has it worth... I suppose that's open for debate. But if you ask me, I think my brother does since he has a hero complex and seeing that he turned evil... twice, that's gotta be a big blow to his self esteem.
DarkFoxKit: Yeah... *looks at Andy with a smirk*
Andy: ... I don't like the way you're looking at me.
DarkFoxKit : Well folks, we hope to hear from you soon. *Still smirking at the nervous Andy.*
