AN: I just realised that I had messed with the time gaps. I'm so sorry about that.

Jazz woke up in her rebuild room. Saying that she was sad after she had calmed down about what happened was a lie. She was depressed. When she returned to school nobody was able to cheer up the girl. She didn't smile, laugh or have fun like she normally did. She only observed, studied like she always had and kept a ‚I-don't-give-a-fuck'face.

Maddie was in a similar position. She was sad, depressed and still so hard working. She put her attention on the household chores and her family but that was not enough to keep her thoughts away from Danny. Vlad thought that he died in the explosion. Ohh how wrong he was. Danny died while trying to repair the Ghost Zone Portal and became a ghost. So she put the ghost hunting business aside for now.

Jack was dealing with all this ordeal the best. He had done a lot of deep thinking. He didn't want to give up on ghosts but he couldn't get himself to hunt them she decided to research them. He became a Ghost Researcher. He spent most of his time in the new lab make useable gear to help people protect themselves from ghosts like the Ghost Shield. No weapons. Well... if you use the gear the right way it may be able to have the effect of a weak weapon. Like the ones which can only hurt the ghost. No destroying. The only problem is that: first-if he wants to research ghosts he will need ghosts; second-he has to persuade his wife to become a GR.

"Come on Maddie. I'm sure that you don't want to give up on ghosts. We can be researchers not hunters. There is a difference between the two. "Jack said. Maddie isn't an easy person to convince.

"I don't know Jack. What about Jazz? Won't she think that we don't care about the fact that her brother is a ghost now?" Maddie frowned. She didn't know what had possessed Jack. Their son had died little more than a week ago. She wasn't ready to return to the ghost business yet.

"But we do care. And that's why we'll research not hunt them. Also Jazzy-princes could help as well. I'm not good with all the psychology thing."

Maddie sighed. She knew how exited Jack could be. Even if this was only a fragment of how exited had ever been and never will be. "Why have you been in the lab without anything to research, Jack?"

It was the man's turn to sigh. "Mads we still a shield to protect ourselves from the ghosts. Look, how about this? I'll continue with the work and Jazz and you will join me when you are ready." He said with a ghost of a smile on his lips.

Meanwhile

When Danny and Wulf entered the Clock Tower they were met with the song of time. A ghost stood in front of a viewing orb .He was pale blue with a scar across his left eye and violet cloak. A clock-like mechanism was embedded in his chest. He carried a violet staff with a clock held by a w-like head. He looked like he was in his mid-twenties. He was known by many names Time Keeper, Time Master, Old Timer (Dan), Clocky (Danny from different timeline) and Clockwork.

"Are you Clockwork? " Danny asked.

"Yes Daniel, I am. Sadly I will have to have you here linger then I originally expected. Come. We have work to do. First let's see the letter your guardian sent." He led Danny to an office-like room. It was full of bookshelves, chairs, coaches, tables and a desk. The little shelves had uncountable number of folders while the big shelves were full of books. The chairs, coaches and tables were arranged as if they were in a library. They were in the middle of the enormous room while the bookshelves and the desk surrounded them. Said desk was farthest from the door. It had a pencilcase, few unused sheds of paper, a quill and a thick book which's cover had been written in an ancient language which only a number of timeless ghosts could read. "Let's have a look at the letter, shall we?" And with that Clockwork sat on the chair behind the desk. He opened the letter and started reading it out loud."Dear Clockwork, I hope that the letter had got to you without problems. I will probably send Danny Phantom and Wulf to deliver it to you. I can't trust Bullet any more. Especially after the last time. I will appreciate it if you could at least hint me who will do a better job than him. I have went through the documents you sent me last month. They were of great help to track down the idiotic ghost who destroyed the statue of The Great One. I have mentioned Danny. He is a good boy as you already know. I was hoping that you will be able to teach him everything he needs to know about the Ghost Zone. How is going the search for the Black Diamond? I think that I have a lead so I sent a team to investigate it. I have a feeling that this is what we needed to find it. Oh and could you please tell the Observants to stop messing around with my work? Thank you in advance. Walker. Danny could you and Wulf find the book The Timelines? I would appreciate it if I was left alone to answer your guardian 's questions." While reading the letter Clockwork age changed from the ones of a young man to the ones of an elderly? When that change happened Danny blinked and guessed that this was one of the unique things which made the Time Master different from the other ghosts.

"OK. Venu Wolf. Ni havas libron por trovi.*" And with that Danny and Wulf went to search for the book." Let's get started with this letter." the Time Keeper thought.

As Danny and Wulf walked through the rows of bookshelves they noticed that there were symbols on them. The first symbol Danny saw looked like a sun and moon put over each other then he looked at one of the books under this section and Danny found out that it means space. Given that the book's name was The Timelines Danny thought that it will be in the section about time. Soon enough Wulf found a symbol which looked like a hourglass inside of a gear. It meant time. After that they saw that the books are arranged by language and name. The Timelines's cover looked like deep space, under the title there was a realistic image of a black hole. When Danny saw how the book looked like he couldn't wait to read it some day. When they got the book to Clockwork he had ended with writing the letter for Walker.

"On our way here we had to take a letter and two books for you from Ghost Writer."

"Hand them over."

"Ĉu vi povus Wulf... ?*" Wulf didn't waste a second and put them on the desk.

"I will take care of them later. As for now could you take the letter for Walker and the book I asked you to take and follow me?" While his words may fool everybody, his tone said what he truly meant. It wasn't a request. Danny nodded and did as he was told.

Clockwork led them back in the viewing room. There was a pedestal. There was a battled thermos. He took it in his hand and gave it to Danny. "Don't shake it... too much. There is a ghost inside of the thermos. When you go to your lair you will open it. Give Walker the letter as soon as possible as for the book, read it. After you are ready with The Timelines come here and I will give you the next book I have decided to give you." Danny took the thermos and clicked it to his belt and put the letter in the inside pocket of his suit wordlessly. It was originally made by his parents. They were ghost hunters. This pocket was big enough to hold three different blasters and a few other things without anyone realizing that they are there. How is it possible with the skin-thigh suit, nobody, even Clockwork, doesn't know. While Wulf took the book. After they bid good byes to the Time Keeper they left a yellow portal with many runes on it opened. A girl dressed in a gray top, a shade darker wedge, matching high-heeled combat boots, black belt which is used for the same purpose as Danny's and high-tech bracelets. Her hair was reaching her waist and it's color was something in between black and dark violet. Everything about her appearance screamed HUMAN warrior from IX century except the eyes. They were red but their color could change because of the different types of energy she could control.

"Interesting. It was indeed the best decision considering the circumstances Clocky." When she said 'Clocky' she let out a playful grin while Clockwork groaned and thought that she, sadly, had got her father's sense of humor.

"I know for sure that young Daniel will like the little surprise I have sent him through the thermos, Atlanta."

BEEP-BEEP-BEP

"I have to go. Bye Clocky." And with that Atlanta disappeared in red light.

AN:

Meanings: Come on Wulf. We've got a book to find.

Could you please, Wulf…?

Dan: Why, people? Why? What have I done to you? Ugh. This will be hell.

Clockwork: Of course I could hear you when you commented my choice, Atlanta.

I: O_O
