Author's Notes: This is just a chapter where I explain some of your questions in you reviews. Now all of these questions come mostly from DireWolfEmily, and Invader Jonny from their review of this story so far. With that said if you had any questions that you would like to ask about. Something that doesn't make since, are any theory's you may have so far about my story so far, or in the future please leave a review and ask about it, and I will contribute another Q/A Chapter.

BTW I will be doing these kind of chapters throughout the series since we are dealing with a time Paradox series, with some pretty big surprises and changes in store for you. Which I know for a fact will lead to some pretty big questions.

But any ways back to the current questions at hand. Let's get started!

First Question!

-The first two questions will be focusing on Invader Johnny's Questions about Time Paradox Part 1 thus far.-

Q: Now it makes me wonder whether Clockwork's actions in previous chapters were a ruse and if so, for what purpose?

A: This is actually a very good point to bring up. If you correctly remember Clockwork supposable knows all and sees all that may or not may happen throughout time. If this is true then Clockwork knows that he will one day change his mind about not Changing Danny's future.

So why all the drama? Why does he stay stubborn to the very end? Is it a Ruse? Is he trying to teach the Observants a lesson about picking and choosing when to follow their own rules?

The answer is a big fat no! Why? Well there is actually 2 main points that disprove this theory.

1: If you remember correctly all the ghost in the Ghost Zone were once alive. This is explained by the fact that the Dairy King who once lived in Vlad's castle before him, actually haunts the very halls of the manor! This is also explained when Danny reveals to Vlad's mutated ghost animal minions that they should be against Vlad not him. Since Vlad decorated his walls with their pelts.

With this in mind we can assume Clockwork was once human, and was not born with the powers to alter time. (Though that would be pretty cool if he had.) This fact is proven since he uses his staff to actually pause, fast forward and rewind time. And Medallions to allow others to wonder in the past, present, and future. While the rifts actually show him what is to come. With that said if Clockwork had the rifts off since the Nasty Berger explosion. Then he really couldn't know what happens next in less he looked ahead at a previous time. Which we can assume he did since he knew why Valerie had come to see him in the future.

With that said this second point proves why this theory is seriously flawed.

2: You have to remember Clockwork was once human and since he was once human, Clockwork has his share of flaws, and while the ghost are dead they seem to still have some emotions. Like anger, rage, and the longing for Revenge, friendship, and idolization. So no Clockwork isn't teaching the Observants a lesson, he really is bitter about how they have been misusing him and his power, and is out for revenge!

He has lost faith and all ghosts and humans, and believes Fate is sending them down a dark path on purpose, because they all really deserve it. And even though he knows he will eventually find new hope in both races thanks to Valerie he is still unmoved. Kind of like some of us humans who know their wrong about something, but still chooses to feel strongly about their beliefs regardless of the facts.

-Invader Johnny I hope this clears up your confusion, because in all reality I seriously planned for Clockwork to be a bitter Jerk who has lost faith in everyone which is why he lets everything play out the way it does no matter how horrible it is. –

Next Question!

- Invader Johnny's next question actually ties into DireWolfEmily's only head scratching question so far, but since hers is more in depth I will focused on Invader Johnny's first.-

Q: Umm... Dan feels vindicated, umm I wasn't expecting that, I only believed he felt anger and rage, ya know?

A: This is a good point Johnny but what you may not know is this idea was very popular in Fan fiction during the time after the episode The Ultimate Enemy was release.

Now for those of you who don't know what Invader Johnny is referring to, I'll explain. When Dan is separated from his human half he still shows some human kind of emotions but only the negative ones like the urge to show or prove his actions to be right, reasonable, or justified. Which happens to be the very definition of Vindication. Now remember Vlad's original plan was to rip all emotion out of Danny, not separate him from his ghost half. So there for we can assume Vlad did not succeed in making him emotionless!

So when Dan claims in the original series of Danny Phantom that he gave up all his human emotions long ago this is actually a big fat lie! How? You might ask? Several reason come to mind.

1: As you come to discover by watching the show not all ghosts are evil. Some like the Dairy King, Clockwork, and Frostbite (A winter king of yeti like creatures). Are actually good, and help Danny better understand himself, and how to control his powers and his uncertain future. So no Dan cannot just be angry, and full of rage for no reason, because if he was, then all ghosts would be this way too.

2: Besides the ghost in the Ghost Zone do have some positive emotions; for example love. There are a lot of star cross lovers in the Ghost Zone with only a few of them being for self-gain. Some examples? Ember McLain and Skulker are actually in a relationship. This is proven in "Lucky in Love" the sixteenth episode of the series.

And Skulker proves it's more than personal gain. How? When Ember hurts his feelings by saying he's a terrible ghost hunter, and then breaks up with him. This prompts him to hunt and finally kill Danny to prove her wrong. Now if he really didn't care about her opinion like a lover really would, he would not go through so much trouble to kill Danny and prove her wrong just so Ember will take him back. Now if it was just an ego thing he would not want to get back together with someone who purposely busied his ego. He also wouldn't carry a picture of her around with him like some lovesick puppy.

Some other examples, Are Kitty, and Johnny 13, or the future Lunch Lady and the Box Ghost. None of these seem to have personal gain in mind. in fact the only personal gain relationship I can think of is between Penelope Spectra, and her assistant Bertrand who first appears in "My Brother's Keeper" where they feed off of the kid's misery while pretending to be councilors for high school youths. They obviously have something going on, but Spectra is the only one with the power to draw out the misery from the teens and use it to make her younger.

This means Bertrand is feeding off of her to stay young too since it is revealed in the episode that they both use Misery in hopes to stay young forever.

So when Dan says he's emotionless he's lying, he just wants to appear like an unreasonable monster. Which is possibly a front to ensure that he is never hurt again, by anyone or anything.

Finally 3: If you remember correctly Danny seeks Vlad's help for the sole reasons of forgetting the pain and suffering he felt from the loss of his family. But something goes wrong! He's only separated from his human half, freeing him from all emotion. Or so he tells himself, but we soon learn he feels things like weakness, and uncertainty about his own abilities. Without his human self to hide behind Dan admits to feel exposed, and weak without it. This prompts him to separate Vlad from his ghost half so he can fuse with it. So that he feels more confident in himself thanks to Vlad's power and 20 some odd years of experience.

This fusion explains why Dan seems to be heartless, and emotionless. If you remember the episode The Ultimate Enemy, Dark Dan's personality is almost identical to Vlad's. In fact some say Dark Dan's personality betrays what Vlad would have been like if he wasn't a crazy fruit loop obsessing over Danny's mom all the time. Both ghost are evil, heavily sarcastic and imagine a future where they rule as the greatest superpower. With all that said Dan is bitter, and angry at the world for a reason Just as Vlad was.

Vlad was angry because becoming a half ghost robbed him of the life he thought he rightfully disserved. He felt vindicated! Similarly Dan wants his once fellow humans to suffer the way he did. He wants this because of how wrongly everyone treated him, and blamed him for the deaths of his family, friends, and teacher. And even though this is only explained in my story it's hinted at in the real series.

How?

Come on people Danny would not go to Vlad, before considering living with his Mother's sister in Texas, who BTW was a real character in in the show! She first appears in "Prisoners of Love." Where Jack forgets his anniversary, and Maddie runs away to her sister's to get away from it all while she helps plan a surprise celebrating her sister's divorce.

Furthermore Danny hates Vlad, and would rather chew off his own limbs then live with him. With that said we can assume that everyone, including his Aunt discover the truth of the disaster and rejected him, and ridiculed him; prompting him to turn to Vlad, as "The last person who could ever hope to understand him."

Ironically even though Vlad did not intend to create Dan he still ended up getting his successor. If you remember correctly Vlad wanted Danny to denounce his father, and become his apprentice, so he could follow in his foots steps, and gain all his, KNOWLEDGE, WEALTH, AND POWER! And in a way Dan does all these things.

Just a little something to think about.

-Invader Johnny I hope this answers your question, Yes Dan has emotions, he's not some savage beast pumped up on rage and anger all the time, and he does fell like he's justified in the way that he's treating the world that was once his home.–

Last Question!

-Like I mentioned in the previous question, DireWolfEmily has a very similar question to Invader Johnny, it's just more in depth. Here it is…-

Q: Is it just me? Or are all these moments of insanity for Danny actually your way of making us feel sorry for Dark Dan? I mean you actually humanize Dark Dan's reasoning for going evil once his human sides is removed. Instead of him being a mindless evil ghost, he's just trying to insure that he's never too weak to get hurt again. You're vindicating him! Which makes me think you're foreshadowing the fact that while Danny's evil future self still exists in this alternate future, he may not stay evil later on in this trilogy.

Are you writing a story about Dark Dan's Redemption?

A: Wow that's a very deeply thought-out question, and I'll try to answer it the best I can without giving away any spoilers to any readers. For starters like I said before Humanizing and Vindicating Dan was an idea that was very popular in Fan fiction during the time after the episode The Ultimate Enemy was release.

For example in several Fanfics Dark Dan's reason for killing his human self is explained as a crime of passion! Not because he is a heartless emotionless blood thirsty monster. And since I've already proven without a doubt that Dan being emotionless is clearly impossible due to the way other ghost act in the show this theory actually holds a lot of ground. So how is it a crime of Passion? Think about it, who do you know better than your own self? We say we love people more than ourselves, but let's be honest. Humans are selfish, and self-centered more than some of the time.

Dan kills his human-self solely because he reminded him of his weak pathetic life of pain, and human emotions.

This is actually a very common reason for murder today. A woman who has loved her husband all her life kills him after he cheats on her in a jealous rage, but soon admit after the fact that they still love their husband. And that they killed them because looking at them every day after they found out about the affair only made their feels of betrayal feel stronger, and the pain cut deeper.

Also Dan doesn't just kill him, he drawls it out, and puts a lot of rage, and emotion into every blow. Much like real crimes of passion which are more likely to be performed with several blows by blunt objects, or many stabbings of knives. If Dan really was emotionless, and didn't care about his past life he would have simply ended his human self quickly.

And even thought the kid show never shows the murder, Vlad's vague description of what happened to Dark Dan's human self does not leave much up the human imagination. When Present day Danny asked him what happened to his human side in the future Vlad simply states. "Some things, my boy, are better left unsaid."

We then see a flash back of Vlad's showing the human Danny shaking in fear as Dan advances. So because of this we can assume the older full human Vlad witnessed something horrible, something that was not quick in the slightest.

Furthermore even if Dan was emotionless he would still remember how he felt as a human. Since the ghost seem to remember their lives before they died. This would prompt Dan to get rid of the visual reminder of all his pain.

So yes, I am Humanizing, and Vindicating Dark Dan, but I'm not the only one who does it, and Dan isn't the only evil ghost who is vindicated in the actual series as well as Fan fiction stories all over the web.

According to the series prior to becoming a ghost, Desiree (The wish granting ghost) was a harem girl who won the heart of a sultan. He promised to grant her all of her heart's desires and even a kingdom of her very own. However, she was cast away from the palace by the sultan's jealous wife. Dying of a broken heart and old age, Desiree wandered around as a ghost, forever granting others' wishes. However, if you haven't noticed the wishes are anything but pleasant which hints at the fact that Desiree is sickly twisting everyone's desires in order to ensure that they get their hopes up only to be crushed just as she had been. And feels no remorse and dose not try to justify her actions.

This is the exact definition of vindication! She's been wronged, and feels justified in making others feel the same way she did.

Another vindicated ghost is Ember McLain, though her past is never revealed in the series. Due to the words of her song it is popular belief that her drive for idolization was due to a broken heart. According to Several Fan fiction stories when alive Ember was a young freshmen who fell in love with an older boy in his senior year. They dated throughout her ninth-grade school year, but when he graduated Ember never hears from him again. She basically puts her life on hold for two whole weeks waiting for him to call her.

Only to find out that by accident later on that he's moved on, and started dating a much older than him, collage girl behind her back. Ember ends the relationship, and though he ex does not appear crushed by the breakup, she vows that he will never forget her name. After this Ember goes from super preppy prom queen to Goth, buys a guitar, and becomes a singing sensation almost overnight. And Fan's state that her hit song: You Will Remember My Name, is actually her singing to her ex that now that she's a rich pop star he will never forget her name, and neither will anyone else.

It also is a reminder to herself that she will never forget the pain he caused her.

Later when Ember dies she becomes obsessed with being known, and idolized. It makes her more powerful, but she uses that power to influence the minds of others. Why? Because she thinks she deserves love, but feels like no one will love her willingly thanks to her ex.

All of this can be backed up by the Ember's song who'd full version was actually release to the public. Here are the lyrics:

Yeah, Oooooooo

It was, it was September, Wind blow, the dead leaves fall. To you, I did surrender, Two weeks you didn't call.

Your life goes on without me, my life, a losing game. But you should, you should not doubt me, you will remember my name.

[Chorus:]

OH Ember, you will remember. Ember, one thing remains, OH Ember, so warm and tender, you will remember my name. Your heart, your heart has rendered, your loss, now bare the shame.

Like dead trees, in cold December, Nothing but ashes remain. [Chorus x2]

As for your other question I will not confirm, or deny if this is a redemption story for Dark Dan, but I can see where you have drawn that conclusion. Dan states he hasn't evaporated into nothing because he still exists in the future, and yet Clockwork, and the Observants no longer seem to fear his existence.

This does make you wonder why?

Is it because Dan changes for the better? Who knows? We never find out since Danny Phantom was cancel, but whether or not it will play out this way in my story is yet to be seen. So sorry Em, you'll just have to wait and find out. But I'm sure you're not the only one wondering the same thing.

End Notes: Well that all the Q/A for now, but please if you have any questions do not be afraid to ask. I wrote this story planning to receive many questions since it's about time paradoxes, a very old show, and my own personal perception of that show and its characters. So please ask away, because the questions are for you, I already understand completely what is going on in my head, this is so that you can better understand the story plot and its characters.

Thanks for reading and please review.

Yours Truly, RoxieDivine :)
