Kamen Rider Garren: The Former Phantom
Chapter 1
Return to the Past
So, I've been thinking about a fic where Danny took a bit of time to train up before going after Dan Phantom since he was able to do so through time travel. As for I went with Garen. I wanted a Card Based Rider, Diend is OP and unless it's Dragon Knight, I hate the Mirror Riders (With a few exceptions.) Anyway... Let's kick it up!

Inside Casper high school in the heart the town of Amity Park, somebody appearing to be a fourteen year old boy handed in a test over to a bald man before walking out of the room with an evil smile on his face.
Outside the building, a young man on a white and burgundy dual sport bike watched as the the young man walked out before his eyes of the caught the sight of the very same boy dragging a red haired girl. He then flipped back black jean jacket and pulled out a burgundy, green, and gold hand gun, with a silver diamond on either side and a diamond shaped barrel.
The other version of the young man looked down at the red haired girl for a few moments before he leaned down to pick her up once more only for a blast of red energy to go through his face and him to disappear in to vapor.
"I just wish that it would be that easy for the real one." The rider said before spinning his weapon and placing it back in the holster. He then took off his helmet and ran to the girl. "Jazz! Jazz, wake up!" He all but shouted before the girl groaned slightly and woke up.
It took the girl a moment to get any kind of focus. "Who... who are you?" Jazz asked.
"It's me, Jazz. It's Danny." The young man said before the girl's eyes widen.
"Danny? But how? You look..." Jazz began.
"Three years older. I know. It's a long story. Can you stand?" Danny asked, gaining a nod from Jazz as he helped her to her feet.
"Hold. The other you. We have to stop..." She tried to say only for Danny to put a hand on her shoulder.
"I know. We've only got three hours. Come on." Danny said, signaling for Jazz to follow him back to his bike and tossed her a spare helmet before they rode off.
"So, do you have a plan?" Jazz asked as they sped through the streets.
"First up. Don't die." Danny joked.
"A good part to any decent plan." Jazz joked back.
"Second. We need to take care of that sauce bomb inside the Nasty Burger." He said as the pulled up to the very place he was speaking of. "Third, which also kind of mixes with second, you'll be needing a crash coarse in using this." He said before handing Jazz a silver and gold buckle with a mechanism with a red center on the left side.
"What the heck is this?" Jazz asked as the looked the strange device.
"Like I said. I've been getting ready for this for three years. That's what the last one was focused on." Danny said before leading Jazz through the broken wall of the Nasty Burger, red and gold lights beaming through it moments later.
A short time later, a large high tech van pulled up to the Nasty Burger where the bald man was waiting for him. Just then, the younger looking version of Danny stepped out next to a blue clad woman with shoulder length red hair and a heavy set orange clad man with black and white hair before they approached the man.
"What's all this about Mr. Lancer? It sounded important on the phone?" The woman asked before, just as Lancer was about to explain, a young man wearing glasses, a yellow shirt and a red hat and a girl in an all black outfit came running up.
"You guys have to get out of here! The Nasty Burger is about to blow!" The boy shouted.
"Don't worry, Tuck. I handled that right after I got here." The five heard before turning to see the older Danny leaning against a wall.
"How did you..." The younger looking Danny began to ask, Tucker and the girl, Sam realizing what was happening.
"Pro tip. If you strand a guy in the future, make sure not to do so in a dimension filled with time portals and rips between realities. Because you will have given them ample prep time for a rematch." Danny said with a smirk that was quickly matched by his counterpart.
"You should have waited longer. It looks like you only spent three years getting ready." The younger Danny said as Tucker and Sam urged Danny's parents away from him.
"I've had more than enough time to become something way beyond you." The older Danny said, gaining a smirk from his counterpart before a shock wave out and changed his from to that of a twenty four year old man with blue skin and flaming white hair wearing a caped jumpsuit with a cape on the back and a D with a P inside it on the chest.
"Well, what are you waiting for? You'll have to transform if you want to fight me." The man, Dan Phantom said as Danny pulled a silver buckle out and placed an Ace of Diamonds with a Stag Beetle inside it.
"With pleasure." Danny said, putting the buckle to his waste as a silver belt formed around it before he called out the word "HENSHIN!"
"Turn up!" A voice from the belt said as the face of the belt flipped to show a gold diamond in a green rectangle and a blue energy version of the card came out. Danny then walked through the card, and was coated in silver and burgundy armor with two horns on the front of the helmet and a pair of green compound eyes.
Dan was slightly taken aback from Danny's new form as Danny took his pistol off his hip.
"Like I said, Phantom. I'm way beyond you now. I am Kamen Rider Garren." Danny said while pointing his gun at his dark counterpart.
Not a moment was wasted by Garren as he opened fire on Phantom who quickly raised his cape to block the hits before charging up red energy in his hands. Garren then pulled back a mechanism on his gun and pulled out a 7 of Diamonds with a Tortoise on it and swiped it across his gun before the word "Rock" was heard as his body was coated in stone as he ran through the blast to punch Phantom square in the face.
The onlookers were quick to get behind the van when Jazz maneuvered over to them.
"You guys alright?" Jazz asked, gaining quick nods from the others. "Okay. I'm gonna help Danny." She said before she got up to move.
"Jazz, wait." Her mother said, grabbing her arm.
"Don't worry. I'll be fine." Jazz said with a smile as she held up her own buckle and card. "HENSHIN!" She called out as she slid the buckles side as an A was revealed and a gold card appeared which she then walked though to be given black and gold armor with a red diamond serving as the eye. She then pulled out a gold bladed sword and ran forward to aid her brother in battle.
Jazz, now in the form that Danny had dubbed 'Glaive' was quick to slice at Phantom's back with her sword as Garren to kick away and swipe a 4 of Diamonds with a Woodpecker on it as the word "Rapid" was heard and he fired a quick volley of shots.
Phantom sent a pulse of energy to push back Glaive before taking flight.
"Absorb Queen Fusion Jack" A sound coming from the device on his wrist which the then put the Jack of Diamonds with a Peacock on it as several parts of his armor became cold, six small wings came out of the back of his suit, and a gold and silver blade came form the bottom of his gun.
"You really thought flying would secure you the win?" Garren asked as he flew after his counterpart.
"No. But this mite." Phantom replied as he created three clones which then flew towards the Rider only for him to swipe the Zebra themed 9 of Diamonds as the word "Gemini" to be heard as clone of Garren to appear. The two versions of the Rider then slice through one clone before they both shot the third and continue flying towards Phantom.
Enraged by continuing to be put on the back foot took a deep breath before letting it out in a sonic blast, the word "Thief" being heard before making contact. Phantom was shocked to see that neither version of the Rider had been there before he suddenly felt a stab to the back followed by a series of kidney punches before tossed him down as the word "Gale" was heard from Glaive swiping a Geruda themed card past her sword to aid in damaging Phantom, slamming him in to a wall.
Phantom tumbled slightly as he tried to get to his feet before looked up to see Garren flying at him at top speed, swiping three cards. "Rock Drop Fire: Magma Smash" heard before lava formed around Garren's leg as hit Phantom with an insanely powerful ax kick.
Garren stood tall as he looked at the crater formed from his kick to see the broken form of his dark self before he then pulled out a blank card and threw in to his chest, absorbing him in to it as the picture of his shadow and the words 'Evolution Devil' appeared with it as his logo appeared on the corners.
Suddenly, Garren felt a presence behind him before time stood still, as the two Riders were granted medallions which aloud them to move. Glaive then readied her blade once more, only for her brother to signal for her to stop.
"It's okay, Jazz. He's with us." Garden said before he took the Ace of Diamonds out of his belt in order to change back.
"I must congratulate you on defeating your counterpart, Danny." The Ghost, Clockwork said, with a smile that showed a small bit of pride.
"Thank you, Clockwork. And now, I have a question for you." Danny said, gaining a nonverbal urging to ask. "You had to have known what would happen. That I'd end up with Kanzaki and the others. Why take the risk that I'd become like him or worse, become like Asakura?" He asked.
"Most beings see time as a river and I, unlike most, see where the river may branch and where those branches lead to. In all but one of the branches I have seen, I see a champion standing tall to protect others. Be it as a ghostly guardian, a Dark Knight, or indeed a Kamen Rider. You are that champion, Danny. You are a good man." Clockwork said.
"Yeah. Well... I was raised right." Danny replied as he turned to look at Jazz. "So, what happens now?" He asked before Clockwork waved his hands and suddenly the area shifted as Danny's body changed to that of his younger self.
"A second chance. Your powers will remain gone. But you have no use for them down." Clockwork said, opening a portal and leaving with the words "Fight on, Kamen Rider Garren."
"So, what do we do now?" Jazz asked.
"We have a lot of work to do. Let's ride." Danny said, leading his sister to where his bike was parked.
