"Kuri... You... You came from the future!?"
"I crossed time," she says. "I came here from the future. I didn't believe it at first, but it's true. There was a sudden explosion... the Nasty Burger, and everyone... I want to save you Danny, and Dark Danny's always been after me. But I don't know how to do it. I don't really know what happened..." She rested in Danny's arms.
"Take us to the future." Danny said.
"I-I can't..." Kuri said. "I p-promised Clockwork I wouldn't..."
"We are on your side." Danny patted her head. "Let's go home." Tucker said.

Kuri stood in Danny's bedroom, wearing one of Danny's nightgown's.
"You can sleep in this bed," he says. She gets in it, and pulls the covers up. "Can I ask you something?" he says. "Did you come here alone? From the future, I mean."
She closed her eyes. "Nope, I came with Moggle."
"Just Moggle.." Danny thinks. "She came to the past to protect herself. Could she be linked to my evil self?"
"Kuri," he says. "If you want us to help you, you can't run away anymore. But you didn't run from your problem. You came here. That's great. You're strong."
She feels Danny's arms around her. "Danny!?"
He holds her close. "I didn't know she was feeling like this," he thinks.
"I'm worried..." Kuri says. "I don't want to lose you, Danny."
He hugs her tightly. "I don't want to lose you either, Kuri. I want to be with you, always." He rests her down on the floor and lays over her. "I want to protect you." He presses his lips to hers. She wraps her arms around him...

Kuri was dreaming of a warning from the Observants long ago.
"Kuri." Observant said. "You must never travel through time. Time is controlled by a solitary figure and entry is not allowed."
Kuri looked up at the Observant, her child eyes wide.
"Time is the last and final taboo."

Kuri woke.
They offered their help. I can't run away again.
She stares through the window at the rising sun.
Danny walked in. "Kuri?"
"I'm going to the future," she says. "Danny. Come with me."
Xxx
Night fell over the park. Danny stood outside with Kuri, who holds up the key from her necklace. She reveals to the others that they key is a 'space-time key' used to time travel and it is how she came from the future.
"Fledgling," said Clockwork in her memory. Clockwork held an ornate staff. His form shifted in age. "The highway of time isn't allowed. Using it, or even knowing about it is strongly forbidden."
"Danny may not be able to go to the future," thinks Kuri.
"Don't let go of my hand," she says.
She raises her key into the air. "Tempus Custos! Dilacerant caelum et aperire ianuam spatii-temporis ad me voca me cum vera Dei omnipotentis dei nomine temporis tempus custos pater? Chronon? Indica mihi iter luminis"
A blinding vortex of light flashes in the sky above her. Danny exclaim over the brightness and the overwhelming, crushing pressure around them from the vortex.
Kuri is drawn by the vortex. Danny grabs onto her arms. "Kuri!?" Her grasp begins to slip, and Kuri flies into the light. "Oh no!" cries Danny. "Kuri!?" The wind roars around her. "Kuri!?"
Xxx
At the same moment, Dark Danny realized that the time vortex has been opened by someone without using the black crystal. They know it is Kuri and that she has brought with her the remaining members of his family.
Pariah Dark appears. "Dark Danny. The time has come. Now, destroy the, the successor to the time power, and the life of Danny!"
"Dark Danny," Ahri said. "I will present the beautiful fledgling to you. Come: Nocturne!"
"I will take the girl for you, Dark Danny!" Nocturne said. "As you know, I was always her greatest weakness. She has more delicious nightmares than any human I have ever encountered."
Xxx
Danny saw a large wooden door surrounded in mist. "Is that... the Gate!?"
"Stop!" a voice called. "From here is the Otherworld. You cannot proceed." Clockwork stepped forward. He carried a long staff resembling a key. "I am the watcher of the space-time door, the guardian of the underworld. And I will eliminate those who violate the law."
Danny gasped.
Clockwork held his staff out and shouted, "Mortuus Clamor!"
Danny cried out in pain as wind whipped sharply across his skin.
"Danny Phantom," Clockwork said. "No matter who you are, I cannot allow you to break the law. My mission must be to destroy you." He raised his staff again.
"Wait!"
He turned around and saw Kuri running quickly toward her.
"You've got it wrong!" said Kuri. "I brought her here! Don't kill her!"
Clockwork lowered the staff. "As you wish Fledgling."
"This is my Master! His name is Clockwork, to the ghosts, or Chronos, to humans. Or rather that is his title as the deity of Space-Time. Chronos chooses his appearance. He does this so trespassers drop their guard."
"Who is this Clockwork? Why did I not see him before?" Danny asked.
"Clockwork only exists at this Gate. This is the Gate that leads to the Otherworld." Kuri said.
Clockwork smiled as he watched them. "Your family has had me here since long ago. Now go. The door has opened." He motioned toward the door.
Kuri held onto Danny's arm. "This is it, Danny."
"Wait," said Danny. "What about you, Clockwork?"
"I cannot leave here," Clockwork said. "Danny Phantom, please protect our Fledling."
Kuri and Danny stared at the light shining through the large doorway. "On the other side... The Other World..." They walked through.
Xxx
"This... is the future..." thinks Danny. "Such a quiet city."
"This doesn't feel right," Danny says. "It's too quiet. We should look a little closer."
Kuri holds onto Danny's arm, looking at the ground.
They see buildings devastated and torn down. "Everything's ruined..." A fog surrounds them as they walk further into the city.
"Why aren't there any people?" asks Danny. "Oh my god!" He sees decaying corpses scattered across the ground.
Danny looks out and sees a giant black column of stone in a clearing. "A black monument... What is that?"
Kuri hugs him tightly. "Kuri!? What's wrong? Is this painful for you?"
"Don't come any closer."
"That voice again..." he thought. "Who is it?"
"This place looks dangerous," he says. "What on earth happened here? What is this? It just looks like some cluster of rocks..."
"There was an unbelievably huge explosion," Kuri says. "Afterwards, this was all that was left. In one moment, the flash of light leveled all these buildings. Since then, San Francisco has been veiled in mist. I don't know why I survived while everyone else... died... As time went by, their bodies deteriorated..."
"Was it the Dominion that attacked?" asks Danny.
"I don't know..." she says. "Come with me...to Fentonworks."
"Fentonworks!?" They approach the large house before them. They disappear outside the wall, and reappear inside. But this is a trap. The servant of Ahri appear. Nocturne multiplies and comments on what an honour it is to meet the Fledgling and the ghost of legend, Danny Phantom. He zapped Kuri, causing her to faint into her nightmares, screaming. Danny tried to attack him, but it wouldn't work. Nocturne informed him that there is a magnetic field that prevented his power.
Ahri appeared in the air. "So you've cornered them... In this lovely monument. These people from the past are no match for the power of the Dominion. Behind me is the real Fentonworks. It was blown away."
"That's a lie!" yells Kuri, coming out of her nightmare. "Vlad promised to protect this city! It can't be destroyed. And you can't defeat us! Y-You're supposed to be my sister!"
"You're sure a brat," Ahri says. She raised the crystal barrier higher around them. "Siblings means nothing. Family means nothing! Just look at Dark Danny!"
Danny's eyes widened.
"Such a sad end... Nocturne will let his Sleepwalkers eat you, and you'll all be blown to bits."
Danny hears the voice in his head. "Listen! It's not real crystal! Break it!" He raises his arms and smashes through the crystal. "Get down!" He grabs the others and drops to the floor. "Get down!"
The crystal barrier exploded around them.
"No!" says Nocturne. "It didn't work right!"
"Now!" yelled Danny. He used his ghost ray.
The attacks shot at Nocturne, and he was destroyed in a burst of light. Ahri left.
Danny looked back. "The voice..." he thinks. "Who is it? This house...it looks like...Is this Fentonworks?"
Kuri runs to the front of the manor, where a large door appears. They walk inside.
There was a memorial to the deceased Fenton Family, Tucker, Sam, and Lancer, and and an order to find and capture Kuri.
Suddenly a white light appeared and Vlad Masters was standing, smiling.
"I did make you a promise, Kuri."
Shocked, Danny stared at Vlad.
"I'm sorry, my boy." Vlad said. "This is a future I never wanted you to have to see."
