I don't own Danny Phantom. If I did, then Danny would've ended up with Ember. XD

Chapter 1: Time Hole

Time is ever changing. It moves like a flowing river. Beings can never stay in a specific time. They always move forward, and only forward. They can never stop or even go back. It is its rules.

But...

Only those that are gifted with it are not bound to its rules. Beings that are masters of time can even see what happens, what had happen, and what will happen. They are, what you say, time itself. They can traverse through time with a blink of an eye, as well as make other non-time beings experience traveling through time. However, even though time masters are and almost considered as gods, they have a deep responsibility to uphold. Time is a very difficult thing to control. One nudge, one mishap, one minor forgotten detail, and everything would fall away and crumble to pieces.

That is why they only observe.

That is why they have their own rules.

That is why they are time.

But unfortunately, only this time, time is not in their control...

~Amity Park - Friday 9:30 pm - 2014~

16-year-old Danny Phantom, AKA Danny Fenton, was suddenly hurled to the opposite side of the rooftop by non-other than the Ghost Zone's pop & rock ghost teen siren, Ember McLain.

"Give up dipstick. There can only be one star running this show. And that's me baby!" Ember fires off a skull beam.

Danny dodges the beam and flies right back up in the air. "Ever heard of earplugs, 'cause your strumming is straining my delicate ears." Danny insults.

"Haha baby pop, very hilarious." Ember rolls her eyes. "Where'd you get that line, your grandma."

"Actually-"

"Wasn't a question dipstick. Now hold still." Ember cuts off. She fires another skull beam at Danny.

"Oh I don't think so." He dodges just in time and charges at Ember, tackling her to the next building.

She phases through the building along with Danny. And as they pass through the other side, Ember charges up a pink ecto-blast, intending on damaging the dipstick at this close of range. Danny, noticing the glow, quickly breaks free and fires a ghost ray of his own. The two beams collide, creating a large powerful blast of pure energy.

'Whoah. If somehow that blast had hit me, I'd probably be a full ghost by now.' Danny thought.

As the smoke clears, Ember floats in the air, panting for breath. The ecto-blast she shot was fully charged. And it was really quite a shock to her that it was easily stopped by the dipstick's ghost ray. Scowling, she fires off multiple beams on her guitar. Danny ducks and evades the beams, counterattacking with his own.

Meanwhile, Sam and Tucker were running through the empty street, trying to catch up with Danny and Ember. Since the two teen ghosts were fighting a hundred feet high and chasing each other from building to building, Sam and Tucker really had a hard time catching up.

"Sam, wait up." Tucker pants.

"Come on Tucker, we're almost there." Sam says, turning around a corner. But she quickly retreats as an ecto-beam shoots where she stood. "Well that was close."

"Sam, where's Danny?" Tucker asks.

"Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrgghhhh." Danny crash-lands on the ground right in front of Sam and Tucker.

"Uh, here he is." Sam says.

"Hey Sam, hey Tuck. Glad you could make it." Danny says, wincing in pain.

"Dude, Ember's got your butt kicked bad." Tucker chips in.

"No she's not. You got the thermos?"

"Right here Danny." Sam takes out the Fenton Thermos. "You know, you really should bring this with you every day even if there are little to no ghost attacks happening these past few weeks.

"Don't remind me." Danny says, taking the thermos and strapping it on his back. "The only time I left it at the house is the time when Miss 'I don't do duets' showed up. Anyway, you guys back me up while I finish this." Danny commands as he flies back up and charges at Ember.

Ember holds her guitar on the neck and swings it like a bat as Danny closes in. He ducks in time, evading the blow to the face, and kicks her in the gut. Ember quickly recovers and punches him in the face, only for Danny to grab her fist as well as the other one that followed. They float up in the air for a while, pushing each other for dominance, until Ember suddenly teleports in a whirlwind of flames, leaving Danny stumbling forward. She appears again from behind and strikes a power chord.

"Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrgghhhh." Danny yells as he receives the blast and was hurled again to a rooftop.

"Yep, Ember's got his butt kicked." Tucker comments.

"Not helping Tucker." Sam rolls her eyes. "Come on, we need to get to Danny."

"But Sam, that building's ten stories high. How are we gonna get up there in time?"

"Leave it to me." Sam grins as she takes out her phone.

Back to the fight, Ember curses as Danny shoots ice beams at her fiery hair, causing her powers to wane.

"Stop that!" Ember yells, her green eyes glowing brighter.

"Stop what?" Danny smirks as he fires another round of ice beams.

Ember darts and weaves, avoiding Danny's attack. Using her guitar, she bats away the beams back to him. Danny goes intangible, the ice beams running through him. Danny goes tangible again, only to duck and avoid Ember's guitar. He flies back away, but Ember closes in and continues her barrage.

"Aaaarrggghhh! Stop dodging dipstick!"

"Are you crazy?! If I don't dodge, I'll have a permanent mark on my face."

"That's the point baby pop." Ember says sarcastically. She strums a power cord, sending Danny into another building. "Give up dipstick. You and your little friends have foiled my plans for the last time. You can't stop the revolution from happening!"

"Guess again Ember." A voice cuts in.

Ember turns around to come face to face with a helicopter with Sam and Tucker inside. Sam uses her Fenton Wrist Ray, blasting Ember away. Tucker types in his PDA, using it to control the helicopter. He guides it down and lands it on the roof.

"Man, this copter is the bomb. It's a brand new customized automated UH-N1 Twin Huey. It has built in ghost rays, missiles, shields, and other kinds of ghost hunting equipment. It even has a cup holder." Tucker grins, using his PDA to open the cup holder for them to see.

Sam rolls her eyes and runs to Danny. "Danny, are you okay?"

"Yeah." Danny rubs his head. "Where's Ember?"

"Right here!" Ember appears, hovering above them.

~The Ghost Zone: Clockwork's Headquarters~

Clockwork, Master of Time, watches the scene unfold from the giant screens at his realm. Three scenes were shown. One was where Danny defeats Ember, while the next one was the other way around with Ember defeating Danny. But the last one was different from the other two.

"It seems something is blocking my sight of the future." Clockwork mutters as he changes from adult to his child form. He makes the first two screens vanish and concentrates on the last one.

"Oh, I don't think so." Danny says as he dodges Ember's skull beam. He then tackles her to a building, both of them phasing through. Ember then charges a pink ecto-blast, while Danny backs away and prepares to shoot. Both of them shoot at the same time.

Suddenly, the screen buzzes and fluctuates. Black and white noises appear on screen. It starts to rewind, then stops, and then forwards. The screen stops again for the last time, before continuing on its own time.

"Clockwork." A voice calls. Clockwork didn't need to turn around to see who it was, or more specific, were. The Observants. "Something is wrong with the time stream. It seems that there's an anomaly that is becoming."

"Yes, I know." Clockwork stares at the screen where young Samantha fires her weapon at Miss McLain. He changes from his child form to his old one. "Most troubling indeed." He swings his staff, creating a blue portal with a giant clock's big hand that spins until it reaches the top, before disappearing completely.

~Amity Park - Friday 9:37 - 2014~

"Danny, are you okay?"

"Yeah." Danny rubs his head. "Where's Ember?"

"Right here!" Ember appears, hovering above them.

She strikes a power cord at the three, but Danny quickly reacts and puts up an energy shield, leaving them safe from harm. Ember strums and strums her guitar, bombarding them with her sound waves. The shield suddenly starts to crack, which made Danny worry.

Just then, a blue portal appears, and out comes none other than the ghost master of time, Clockwork. "Time Out."

Time stops with Ember in mid strum. Clockwork knew that one more blast from her guitar would make Danny's shield collapse. He floats to his apprentice with a medallion in hand, changing from old to adult. But as he gets closer, the area around space ripples, much like a single stone dropping on a still water. Suddenly, time moves forward without the permission of the time master himself. And for the first time in forever, Clockwork was surprised.

As time resumes, Ember finishes her strum, sending a power chord and shattering Danny's ghost shield. Danny, Sam, and Tucker were hurled back. Even Clockwork was sent back as well.

"Any last words before I end you dipstick." Ember sneers.

Danny's eyes glow green as he gets up. He had enough of this. "Yeah, when I send you back into the Ghost Zone, I'll make sure that no one will remember your name!"

"You're gonna regret saying that." She growls.

Ember turns a knob on her guitar, maximizing its power, and charges all her energy for the blast. Danny, sensing Ember's power increase, stands protectively between his friends and the ghost siren. He stands firm and readies his most power ability yet.

Both of them glare at each other, not noticing the master of time getting up. Clockwork, seeing the two giving glares, had a hunch- 'Wait, hunch? Well that is disturbingly new' -that something bad is going to happen. 'If I don't stop them right now, then...then…wait!' Clockworks eyes widen as he just realized something. He didn't know what would happen. He didn't know, because he couldn't oversee time anymore!

"Time Out."

Nothing happened.

'No, what is happening?' Clockwork looks at both Danny and Ember. Both were in the act of starting their attack. "No, stop! Both of you!"

But it was too late. His words were lost to their ears as Ember performs a maximum charged power chord, while Danny unleashes his death ringing Ghostly Wail.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Danny and Ember scream as they unleash their attack.

The two attacks collide. Two powerful attacks that are made up of pure ecto-energy. A large blast of energy erupts, lighting the area as if it was morning. The shockwave hurls both Ember and Danny from the opposite direction. Sam and Tucker were almost blasted away, if not for Clockwork intervening by saving them from destruction.

Clockwork lays the two unconscious teens on the ground and flies back up in search for his apprentice. He sees an unconscious Daniel laying on a rooftop in his human form. Then all of a sudden, time and space fluctuates all around. The space above Danny shifts, turning to a circular pattern. It then sucks in Danny, pulling him in by what looked like a wormhole. Clockwork flies toward his apprentice, but it was too late as Danny was sucked it completely. The wormhole vanishes and everything was dead quiet.

"Where could you have gone Daniel?" Clockwork says.

Suddenly, another wormhole appears a block away. Clockwork flies toward it to see Ember being sucked in. But just like with his young apprentice, he didn't make it in time.

'Time. It seems that time is not on my side anymore.' Clockwork thought. He floats up and observes his surroundings.

Time and Space shift and fluctuate. The ripples in space are changing time holes as they move forward, backward, and even stop. Clockwork could only think of one thing to describe this situation.

Time was in chaos.

AN:

Hey Guys! This is my first Danny Phantom fic. Firstly, I would like to thank my dear friend for helping get this idea (If he's reading this, he knows it's him…hey there blackwood *waves*) Haha.

Anyway, this will be a DxE story. Woohoo!

Oh, I haven't yet watched all of the DP episodes, so if they seem OOC *coughs, Clockwork* it's not my fault. I only read their bio in Danny Phantom wiki. But, I'm currently watching the show again and hope to reach "Phantom Planet" episode.
