Kuri stepped forward. "Vlad, you're alive!?" She ran to Vlad and hugged him.

"You're safe," Vlad said.. "Your journey to the past was dangerous, but your judgment was fit for a warrior, Kuri."

"Vlad..." Kuri said.

He turns to the others. "I'm glad you've come to the future to visit our home. There's been a terrible battle. I wouldn't want you to see this future. I wanted to meet you, but... not this way." He turned around and started to walk around the room. "It's possible there was a misunderstanding with Dark Danny, so I was surprised when it happened."

"Come on, Kuri," said Vlad. "Have you properly introduced yourself?"

"My name is Kurisuta Hikawa Watanabe, Apprentice to Clockwork," Kuri said. "I am fiancée to Daniel Fenton, though unwilling, and on the run for my life."

Vlad grinned. "I taught her that."

"So that is why evil me was after you?" Danny said.

There was an explosion outside.

"Vlad! Danny! Stay here! I will protect my family!" Kuri shouted and ran outside to face Ahri once more.

Ahri appears in the air above her. "Well, well. Seems you're defenseless. What happened to your beloved Danny?'

"I will protect him! I will stop you and save the real Danny Phantom and his family!" Kuri snapped.

Kuri felt two hands wrap around her neck from behind. Ahri laughs as the hands choked the girl. They raised her into the air. "Well, duck. You have the blood of ancient magic. Show me your power."

Kuri tried to breathe.

"Kuri!" called Danny. He rushed toward her, followed by Vlad.

He shot a ghost ray and Ahri let go of Kuri.

"Why?" Kuri said. "Why am I the only one who can't use my power!?"

Dark Danny appeared in the air behind her. "They blew away Ahri..."

Xar appeared beside him. "But, I don't think it was done by the girl's power."

Kuri turns around and looked at them.

"I hope you're pleased with your future, my other self. Soon, things will be very different."

"Dark Danny!" yelled Kuri. "What do you want!? What are you doing with this planet!? Where are the others? Tell me!"

"It's..." thinks Dark Danny. "Those eyes... From when... she was staring at me..."

He held out his hands and activated his power.

Kuri gasps. "I can't move my body! I can't even move my eyes."

"Kuri!" Danny called. "Don't look into his eyes!"

Dark Danny bound Kuri with energy and grabbed her. The two faded in black light.

Danny rushed forward. "KURI!"
