In the Fentonworks basement, Jazz and Yuji had arrived back to be met by Tucker and Sam.

"Hey. Who's this guy?" Tucker asked as they climbed off the Gold Piercer.

"This is Yuji. He's a friend of Danny's from the other dimension." Jazz explained.

"Oh. Nice to meet you." Tucker said before Yuji gave a respectful bow, the traditional gesture being returned by the other two.

"Where is Danny, by the way?" Sam asked before the group heard the engine of the Red Rhombus before they turned to see Danny ride in with Valerie holding on to him.

"What the heck?" Sam asked in a whisper.

"And your sure that all my gear is compromised?" Valerie asked.

"Vlad may be crazy. But he's not stupid. He absolutely built in kill switches for all your weapons." Danny reasoned out. "Thankfully, I have a plan." He said before he began to type in to the console connected to the Fenton Ghost Portal.

"Uh Danny. Mind telling us what she's doing here?" Sam all but demanded of Danny before he looked up from the console.

"Well for one, I've told her everything and she's joining the team." Danny said, splitting his focus between typing and the conversation.

"Awesome. It'll be nice to not have her shooting at you anymore." Tucker said before looking to Valerie before saying "No offence."

"None taken. I'm gonna be feeling bad about that one for a while." Valerie admitted.

"Don't be. I should have talked to you about it at least after Skulker captured us." Danny said while continuing his work.

"The question is, why did you tell her now?" Sam asked, not taking her eyes off the ghost hunter. Danny then took a moment to look at Valerie before getting a nod signifying permission.

"When I was in future, Vlad told me about one of his side projects. The real reason that he gave Valerie her gear. He was trying to clone. In his sick mind, if he couldn't get me to come to his side and be his half ghost kid. He'd just make one of his own." Danny said, Tucker's eyes widening at the realization.

"Vlad was using Val's suit to get scans of your DNA to clone you." Tucker said before Danny nodded.

"He tried to use just mine. But they all failed. So... he added Valerie's." Danny said.

"Oh my God." Jazz barely got out.

"Yeah. Valerie and I have a kid." Danny said before hearing a ping from the console. "Ah. There we go." He said before opening the portal to reveal it to be white rather than the normal green of the portal.

"Woah. What did you do?" Tucker asked as Danny approached the portal.

"While I do have the power to summon Dimensional Walls and travel between worlds, I'm still not skilled enough to do it without it taking a lot out of me. So, I'm using the portal so I can get what I need while still having it in me to ride and fight." Danny said before walking through the portal.

"What's he getting?" Tucker asked, gaining a shrug from Valerie before Danny came back through with a bike with golden markings above the blue headlights, grey jets on the back, and black and yellow parts above the wheels.

"I cannibalized parts from other Riders' gear. I made her using pieces from mass produced bikes called Ridevendors and Zectoron over the frame of Kuuga's old Trychacer and of coarse, I added in the same type of AI used in the Rhombus and the Piercer. I call her the Ride Patcher." Danny explained before gesturing over to Valerie.

"Seriously?" Valerie asked, Danny nodding and letting her take the bike.

"You'll also be needing this." Danny said before he went to his repair area and pulled out a black case. "I met a group of Riders that used Drivers like these. I was inspired by them and the look of another Rider to make you this. He said as he opened the case.

"So, I put these in to this?" Valerie asked before Danny went to clarify.

"You put this one here and pull this out. These are sub ones. Start out only using one with the main one. You can get some practical learning on the road." He said.

"Wait. Hold up. You guys are going now?" Sam asked.

"Yeah. It's kind of something we need to worry about immediately. To that end..." Danny began before snapping his fingers as a large robot walked out before transforming in to a black and gold bike with gold markings on it. "Kiba. Can you help Jazz protect Amity Park while I'm gone?" He asked.

"Of coarse I can." Yuji replied before Danny gave him a handclasp. With that Danny and Valerie both got on their bikes and rode out.

Hours of riding later, Danny and Valerie arrived at an isolated field behind a hill where Danny unhooked his duffel bag.

"So..." Valerie began, not being able to find the right words. "What was it like when you were there? It couldn't have been easy." She pointed before Danny sat down and let out a sigh.

"I gotta tell you. It wasn't easy a lot of the time. But I got through it thanks to my friends. We would do anything for each other and I know, if I ever need them, they'll be right there." Danny said with a smile.

"I guess it's true. Better than the strength to stand alone is faith in the knowledge that someone else has your back." Valerie said, slightly envious that she always felt herself forced in to the former position.

"You have that too now. I'm here for you, Val and now you know I am." Danny said as he grabbed Valerie's hand.

"I hope that's not just because I'm the mother of your child." Valerie joked, Danny playfully shoving her with his shoulder.

"We've only got a couple hours of light left. We should use it to train." Danny said as he and Valerie both stood up. The two then walked to stand apart from from one another an the other side of the hill, flashes of red and purple could be seen.

The next day, Danny and Valerie found themselves in the middle of a Colorado forest once there, Danny pulled a Bat themed 8 of Diamonds from the Garren Rouser and scanned it before the word 'Scope' was heard and he knelt down look down at in opulent house in a clearing of the trees.

"You sure he won't be able to detect these?" Valrie asked as she came up walking up with what appeared to be soda cans.

"Their signature isn't ecto based. His systems aren't tuned for much else." Danny confirmed before Valerie nodded and pulled the tabs of the cans, causing them to fold out in to small red Hawks and purple Pterodactyls. The four robots then flew off to circle around the area.

Valerie then pulled the tabs of two more cans which then folded out in to a green grasshopper and orange peacock. The robots then linked up before the eyes of the grasshopper glowed before projecting the images from the others.

"Okay. Looks like he's got two generators here. We'll have about thirty seconds to get in before the generator in his lab takes over." Danny said, Valerie nodding in conformation before signaling the Ptera Cans to take out the generator and the two began to move out.

Once the two had broken in, Danny moved to where he had seen the lab had been the last time he was there. Once they had entered the lab, the two began to look around.

"Oh that son of a bitch." Danny growled after opening a drawer to see candid photos of his mother. "I'm gonna burn this whole place to the ground." He whispered before Valerie signaled him to come to a small pod. The two looked inside to see what looked like an six year old female version of Danny.

"I almost didn't want to believe it." Valerie said as she felt tears welling up her eyes.

"I know." Danny said before putting his hand on Valerie's shoulder. "This is messed up even for you, Vlad." He said before the two turned around to see a man in a black suit with his white hair.

"Oh come now, Danial. What man doesn't eventually be a father?" Vlad asked in the smug voice that Danny had always known the man for..

"And you used us to to it." Valerie growled as she went to rush forward for Danny to stop her with his arm.

"Ms Gray. I'm surprised that you are here." Vlad said, his faux polite persona coming at seeing his hapless pawn.

"She know's everything, Vlad. So cut the tone. It was always a little white vanny." Danny said, getting a shrug of agreement from Valerie. "Now then. HENSHIN!" He called as the usual "Turn Up." was heard before the Garren armor came to him.

"That's new. But it still wont be enough." Vlad said before he hunched down with arms out before he transformed in to a blue skinned ghost in a white jumpsuit and cape with his now black hair standing up in two points.

"We'll see. Let's take it outside." Danny said as he pulled out a Chameleon themed 10. Swiping the card, the word "Thief" was heard before a transparent blast went through Vlad and in to Garren, leaving the older man confused and allowing the Rider an opening to uppercut Vlad through the ceiling and leap after him, both of them phasing through.

"Yeah. Don't wait for me." Valerie said with a playful head shake before hearing a noise to her left. "You must be the guy Danny called." She said before gesturing to the pod. "Keep her safe." She requested.

"Don't worry." A young man clad in a white jacket over an all black outfit with his hair dyed auburn said as he walked to the pod. "I'd never let a treasure this valuable get damaged." He said before Valerie nodded and left.

Outside, Garren shot blasts Vlad fired from his hands out of the air. Vlad then turned invisible to attempt an attack on Garren only for him to swipe the Stone card just before Vlad reappeared behind him and chip one of his claws in his attempt to strike the Rider.

"I must admit, Daniel. These new powers of yours are very intriguing. But I will get past them in due time." Vlad said, trying to save face.

"Wait till you see what I'm packing, fruit loop!" Vlad heard before turning to see Valerie holding a purple and black book depicting a headless horseman and the words Hollow Dullahan. She then opened the book before it began to speak.

"The Horseman who guide's the innocent and punishes the guilty." The book spoke before Valerie closed it and placed it in to grey buckle with a violet sword hilt in reach of her right hand as the title of the book was spoken.

"Henshin!" Valerie called out before pulling out a black and gunmetal colored Khopesh, causing the book to open.

"Ride through the darkness. Hollow Dullahan." Was heard before Valerie preformed a forward stab before she coated in dark grey armor a violet coat with a high collar and long coat tails, and a simple black mask which was featureless with exception of a grey line between with light purple eyes.

Vallerie, now in the from Danny had dubbed after the Khopesh she wielded rushed forward to slash at Vlad before he flew up only for slot the Woodpecker themed 4 in to his Rouser before the word "Rapid" was heard as he fired a small barrage of blasts in to Vlad's side.

"I'm getting tired of this." Vlad said as he used his powers to make three clones clones of him self in hopes of overwhelming the two with two to one odds. However proved fruitless as Garren used the Gemini card to split in two which was then repeated by both versions that four of the Rider stood against Vlad's clones. All four Garrens then swiped the fire card before shooting each Vlad in the chest.

"All yours." Garren signaled as Khopesh put her blade back in to her Driver before the fords "Ready Finish" were heard. she then pulled the blade out before with a call of "Hollow Charge" was heard as Khopesh stabbed forward with a spectral horse forming around her before she stabbed in to Vlad in the shoulder and making him fly in to a tree before he landed on the ground and fell in to human form.

"Now. Let's make one thing clear." Garren said before making his armor disappear. "You've always put more stock in power and scheming than skill. So I'll put this in terms you can understand." Danny said before he put the Garren Rouzer to Vlad's "That was one third of what I can do now and Val is fresh to this. You come after our family again. You better be ready to see what I can do when I'm not holding back." He said before Vlad passed out and he spun the Garren Rouzer before holstering it.

"Our family, huh?" Valerie asked with a smirk before she powered down.

"Yeah. Our family. Now, let's go meet the newest part of it." Danny said before snapping his fingers to call their bikes to them and the two rode off.

A short time later, Danny and Valerie arrived at a hotel and went up stairs where the clone was lying in one of the beds and the black and white clad man sitting at a recliner.

"Kaito." Danny said, getting the attention of the other man. "Thanks, man. Seriously." He said before the two of them shared a hand clasp and a hug.

"Don't worry about it. I was happy to do this one for free." The young man, Daiki Kaito said.

"Yeah. What's that then?" Danny asked before gesturing to a football on the coffee table.

"Come on. The game ball from the first Superbowl? How could I resist?" Daiki asked as Danny shook his.

"Take care of yourself, man." Danny said before generating a Dimensional Wall. He then tossed a small vile to Danny before the two gave each other a finger gun gesture before he left.

With the other Rider gone, Danny and Valerie to sit down on the bed while looking on the sleeping form of their daughter. Both found themselves with a mix of several different emotions. But at the core, the both felt one thing above everything else. Joy at the existence of the little girl in front of them. The girl that they would both do anything to protect. Their daughter, Danielle Fenton.

Well there you go, guys. I hope you enjoyed this chapter as well as well as my attempt at a fan made Rider. I seriously would love the feedback on that. Next time, Danny is caught in the middle of fights with foes and friends alike until then and as always... keep on keeping on.
