Chapter 3

Quickly the Fenton family and friends packed both the RV and the Specter Speeder with ghost equipment and technology with Danielle leading the way to the hideout. She had to prove that she was human as well and Danny had to explain that she only had their safety and well-being at heart. It was an awkward ride for everyone due to multiple factors, mainly that Danielle proved that she was from the future and hinted that she was going to be a part of the Fenton family.

Finally they arrived to what looked like some cabin in the woods. On closer inspection, it looked something more like a facility under some construction once they got inside and beyond the living quarters.

Maddie got an ill feeling of the place because it remind her of Vlad. Jazz stated that it reminded her of Vlad as well. Danielle confirmed it. She also explained how this was really one of Vlad's cabin hideouts and how she knew after he was eventually exposed and investigated. Vlad had many more too throughout the country and even a few in Canada as well. Danielle brought them here because the Dark Phantom wouldn't know about this place and Vlad was least likely to use this facility because it wasn't quite complete although quite a bit of it was functioning. She also explained that Vlad had a couple of hideouts closer by and that were fully functioning at this time.

"How exactly did you know that?" Sam questioned.

"Clockwork refreshed my memory once I got stranded in this timeline." Danielle admitted.

"Who's Clockwork?" Maddie and Jack asked.

"The ghost of time." Danny answered. "He got me out of a couple of jams before."

Then Jazz spoke up. "Danny, you and this look alike still need to do some explaining on how we all in danger and the nature of this situation."

Danny signed and thought for a moment in order to figure out where to start. No doubt what he was going to reveal was going to be hard to accept. Danielle knew she was going to explain quite a bit more about herself as well.

"Dani, I think I should be the one to explain your true origins to everyone. Is that alright with you?" Danny asked with sincerity.

"The fact that I'm a clone doesn't bother me anymore, but very few people know about it other than our family and a few close friends of my time. But yeah, I think you better explain and I will confirm it. However you are going to be explaining a whole lot more to them than just about me." She replied.

Danny then took a deep breath and sat down. He then braced himself for any questions about the situation and who was involved. His parents were still rather upset at the fact that he didn't tell them about his ghost powers or ghost fighting activities sooner. Plus they would be upset at Jazz too for not telling them when she had full knowledge of it too.

Meanwhile in the Ghost Zone, the Dark Phantom was practically throwing a fit. Not only did his alternate self thwart him, but somewhere that ghost girl he teamed up with was able to follow him into not only the Ghost Zone and this current time but she managed disabled his portal producing power. She had managed to leap into the real world while freezing him in a block of ice in order to stall him too. Worst part was that was the second time it happened. First was by the original Danny himself. He knew that his previous self (now a man) had some developed powers and a female partner that he seemed to treat like family. He shouldn't be surprised if she had all his powers, after all she seemed to have them and act like them.

He started shooting numerous rays at the multiple of rocks, doors, and the occasional unlucky ghost that passed by. Who was she and how did she gain her powers? Why did she look and even act like his former hybrid self? Was she a hybrid too? He at first thought she was Jazz but she appeared to be too young compared to Danny nor did she act like Jazz. Heck how did Jazz find out? She must have seen him go ghost while he wasn't looking was all he could think.

Now how in the Ghost Zone did she get into this timeline without a medallion? Was his portal producing power only temporarily disabled? If so, for how long? He hoped so and not for long, otherwise he was going to have a hard time dodging her, various ghost hunters/fighters, and being limited to what few portals he knew of, both natural and artificial. He had grown so used to it that he had almost taken it for granted. He was able to stop the original Danny Phantom from following him, but he still had to face Dani Phantom. She wasn't going to give up without a fight.

"Whoever this 'Dani Phantom' is and how or why she allied to my younger self, I've got to find out. I won't be surprised if that Cheesehead knows a thing or two, but in this timeline?" He growled to himself upset by the uncertainty. He had to keep the other medallion out of any enemy's reach otherwise he would cease to exist. He managed to evade the original Danny Phantom into this timeline, but not the female Phantom.

The Vlad of the alternate future that he arrived in wasn't able to be located and what information he got, the secret of him being a manipulative ghost hybrid had gotten to be known to the public. However, no one knew who Danny Phantom was or this female version of him came from. No doubt he was defeated and exposed. Perhaps he could ruin Danny's future after all and secure his existence. He could use this situation to his advantage. Still he had to worry about the other Phantom that was able to follow him and she would no doubt go great lengths to aid the current Danny and stop him. She reminded him of his former hybrid self which he was disgusted with. No doubt he was going to have to be very subtle and even sneakier to accomplish his evil designs and desires. Plus he wasn't going to 'play games or mess around' with his younger self like he did before.
