PLEASE REVIEW
Author's Notes: Yes! I LOVE those reviews, as for the confusion: the jumping from present to future IS relevant; it was detailed in my summary but in order to get people to read I had to include snippets from the chapters instead. So I apologize for the lack of explanation, so here it is:
IMPORTANT! The present Danny Fenton is undergoing a lot of stress from schoolwork, friends, and ghost fighting, not to mention Vlad staying over for a weekend. Meanwhile, Clockwork sees threatening events which involve the present Danny Phantom becoming so powerful he will eventually destroy himself. In order to keep this from affecting the future, he freezes that time span so that nothing in the past will affect the future (that is a spoiler I was trying to avoid, but hopefully it will clear everything up). Meanwhile, Valerie makes a wish for Danny Fenton to return, and he does. Clockwork sees this as an opportunity and releases Dan into the future…but why?
Okay, I'm not revealing anymore than that. If it's still confusing, PM me and I'll try to answer your questions.
Disclaimer: No ownage.

Future
"Hello, Danny," Phantom said smirking, blood lust in his eyes as he formed an ecto blast in his hand, "Been a while, you should be taking a dirt nap, right?" He asked as he inched forward, the blast slowly growing in his palm.
Danny walked backwards, shaking almost violently, "I…I," he tried to stammer out anything to the last thing he saw those ten years ago when he was believed to be dead, but nothing came out but a stutter.
Dan chuckled and stopped walking, looking at the blast in his hand, "How do you like what I've done to the place?" He asked teasingly, "It was fun roughing it up."
Danny couldn't help but glare at the malice coming from something that used to be a part of him. It was almost like he was a part of…Plasmius. Danny's eyes widened, then he realized that talking was the only way he could possibly escape, he forced a smile, "Um, look, before you uh, kill me, could you at least tell me what happened in the lab before I woke up to you beating the crap out of me?"
Dan cocked an eyebrow, "You really don't remember do you?" Danny shook his head, leaning against a tree. Dan sighed, "Hmm, well long story short I separated Masters from Plasmius after he informed me that you wanted to get rid of me, then I merged with his ghost half, things became a little hazy after that but all I knew was that I wanted to get rid of you like you had wanted to get rid of me," Dan said quickly, the blast in his hand becoming much stronger, "Feels a little familiar at the moment."
Danny looked around, trying to absorb all this information, "Wait, you merged with Plasmius?" Danny asked curiously, "That explains…a lot."
Dan caught the sarcastic tone in his voice and glared; growling, he sent the blast flying for the tree. The tree snapped and it was sent flying in the air along with Danny who was gripping it tightly. The tree landed violently on the ground away from the park and into the streets. People looked at Danny with fear. Danny quickly got up, "Run, he's back!"
Automatically knowing what he was talking about, the people in the streets went running. Going every which way. Danny hated to cause a panic, but it was the only way. He saw Dan flying overhead, he saw the death glare he made, and Danny continued to run trying to avoid the blasts that escaped from the monster above him. 'Get away from Amity,' he thought to himself, 'Get him away from Amity.'

Valerie's house
Danni dropped the glass of water she was bringing to Valerie when she felt something inside. The shattering of the glass brought Valerie into the kitchen, "Danni? What is it?"
Danni didn't answer, only walked quickly past Valerie and into the living room. She opened the front door and went outside to the sidewalk to see people running in fear. "No," she whispered, fearing the worst. She walked to the sidewalk and grabbed a civilian who was carrying a suitcase, "What's going on?"
The scared man whimpered and looked behind him before shaking free of her grasp and kept running, "He's back to finish us off!"
Danni's eyes widened and she looked behind her; she could see green ecto blasts in the distance. And they were getting closer, "Valerie!"
Valerie ran out and looked at the sight drawing closer, "No," she said softly, in awe.
"Mommy, what's going on?" Raylyn said, coming outside, "Aren't you coming to tuck me in?"
Valerie looked at Raylyn, fear all over her face, "Raylyn, get back inside!" She saw Raylyn shrink back inside the house and turned back to Danni, who was already running towards the blasts, "Danni! No!"
"He's not going to destroy our lives again!" Danni shouted as he jumped into the air, transforming into her counterpart. She heard Valerie's protests as to how she was still unstable but they were lost when she landed far away. Danni looked around cautiously, "This is where the blasts were coming from," she said as she saw how the area had become empty; she could see fresh holes in building and ectoplasm dripping from them. She heard a groan coming from behind a parked car and ran towards it.
She saw a man, tall, lying down on his stomach, clearly in pain. She rolled him over, "Sir are you ok-Oh my god!" She recognized that face anywhere because it was a mirror image of her own…only hers was female, "Danny!"
Danny's blue eyes fluttered open for an instant, "Danni?" he slurred before passing out.
Danni shook him, "Danny, wake up!" No response. She checked his heartbeat, "Still alive, okay, now to find-"
"Ah, my little cousin, it's been a while; I see you've reunited with my human half."

Valerie's house
"How's that for tucked in?" Valerie asked Raylyn, smiling. She was secretly screaming inside for Danni's safety. It had only been a few minutes and she was already freaking out.
Raylyn nodded to her question and turned over, asleep in a matter of seconds. Valerie picked up the empty plate and glass and walked quickly down the stairs, shaking all the way. She put the dishes in the sink and ran hot water over them while she debated leaving Raylyn unprotected to go defend Danni.
No. She could never do that. But she couldn't abandon Danni. Not after all she'd done for her and Raylyn. Valerie pounded the counter with her fist in frustration, "Damn you, Phantom," she muttered softly, "Why couldn't you just stay gone?"
Valerie didn't understand, of all times why now? Everything had just gotten better, she had adopted Raylyn, and she even met a nice guy at the bookstore the other day. Now he was back to take everything away from her…again. He took away her father, her home, her friends, and Danny.
Danny. Valerie's eyes widened, none of this started happening until they all heard that news report about Danny Fenton being recovered. Could he have something do with it? Valerie shook her head, 'No,' she thought, tears forming, 'He wouldn't, he was…'
Valerie quickly ran outside to her neighbor's house, knocking on the door and praying that they had stayed. The door creaked open a little and a young woman peeped through, "Valerie?"
"Trisha," Valerie said, out of breath, "I need you to-"
Trisha stepped out of her house, "Sure, I can watch Ray for you, it's the least we could do," she said before she could finish, it was as if she were expecting Valerie to come out.
Valerie smiled and nodded, "Thank you," she said as she ran off to the place where Danni was.

Danni screamed as she was hurled through the air by one of Dan's blasts. Dan smirked and looked at his unconscious human counterpart, "You're not going anywhere for a while," he said, glancing back at Danni who was getting back up, "Which means I have more time for this!" He flew towards Danni, laughing manically.
Danni's eyes widened and she went intangible right before Dan flew right through her. She glared back at him and flew in the air, "Leave us alone!" She shouted as she threw a blast at him.
He blocked it easily, "And miss all this action? I think not, I'm surprised you haven't destabilized yet," he smiled at the fear of reminder in her eyes, "So you can still turn into goo? I'll have to stick around to see that!" He laughed.
Danni glared hatefully and she lunged five blasts at the same time towards him, "Why would you do that?" She screamed as she blocked one of his blasts.
"What?" he asked as he blocked her punch by grabbing her fist, "See you turn into goop?"
She growled as she swung her left out and kicked him in the side, causing him to let go of her and go tumbling down, landing with a hard thud, smoke and dust forming around him. "No! Merging with Plasmius?"
The smoke cleared and Dan wasn't there, Danni looked around cautiously. Suddenly a pair of strong arms took hold of her and she was turned around. She met Dan's angry face and he zapped her, causing her to scream out in pain. The pain was so great that Danni morphed back to human, Dan smirked, "Interesting, it was actually a way to stop him that ended in what you would call a failure," he tossed her up and punched her in the face, sending her to the ground, "I call it a new beginning."
Out of nowhere, a red energy blast hit Dan straight in the chest. He screamed in pain as he flew halfway across the street. Valerie glared in his direction and then looked down at the two people below. She hovered down and saw Danni try to get up.
Danni opened her eyes slowly, "Val," she stuttered, "Take Danny…home," she said as she got up, "I'll hold him off."
Valerie looked at her in confusion then looked at the unconscious male on the ground, 'Oh my…' her thoughts were interrupted by Danni transforming.
"What are you waiting for!" she yelled, "Go!"
Valerie knew she shouldn't have done what she did, but she listened. She grabbed Danny and flew into the air while Danni held Phantom off. As she flew, she could feel the tears from before now pouring down her face, everything was too confusing for her to get a grip on things.
Danni watched as Valerie soared back to their home, she knew she would be back, so she had to be quick with this. She floated up in the air and extended her arms, a green glow emanating around her. She closed her eyes and concentrated on her power.
Dan flew into the air and saw Danni hovering in her little light show, "What the hell is she doing?" The answer didn't some as a great glow of light exploded around Danni and he was forced back into the air, sailing farther away from Amity Park.
Danni transformed back into mid air and fell to the ground. She saw the goo that had seeped from her legs slowly retreat back, "Ugh," she moaned as she fell back and closed her eyes, "That should buy us some time," she whispered silently before she drifted into unconsciousness.
