All the Time In the World

Chapter 1

All Is Lost

AMITY PARK 10 YEARS INTO THE FUTURE

How had it come to this?

The city was in ruins, with buildings and streets crumbling down. The skies were grey, full of pollution. People were taking cover where they could in armored safe houses around the city. Even with all the technology they had now, it seemed somethings would never change, like the city being under attack.

Several people in varying attire and weapons stood at the ready for anything. One of them, a twenty-three year old woman, had long black hair down to just past her shoulders with a streak of purple and amethyst eyes. She wore her normal attire, a purple bodysuit with black gloves and combat boots. Her hair tied back and a look of sadness on her face. She and her team had done everything they could, but to no avail.

A building across from them is suddenly reduced to rubble and the woman and her team of three others, two other women and male, brace themselves. Once the dust clears, a ghostly man levitates to the group. He looks at them and sneers.

"Puny, worthless mortals," he says snidely, "You have lost and you have failed the very people who depended upon you to keep them safe. Say goodbye to your world, as I usher in a new era, my new domain!"

He raised his hand, ready to strike, and end their lives as they knew it.

"Time stop!" an omnipotent voice echoed.

Everything stood still in silence. So quiet a pin could be heard dropping to the floor. A blue portal opened, giving entrance to a blue ghost in a purple hood with red eyes.

He stepped out, looking at the scene, a knowing yet sad expression. Even though he'd seen all this coming, it was still a depressing scene. At the rate things were about to go, the entire world and the Ghost Zone would be lost. There wasn't much that could be done at this point to stop what was inevitable, and the events of five years prior had ensured this.

There wasn't much they could do and there wasn't anyone strong enough to even the odds, at least not anymore...except…

With a pondering expression and another look at the scene before him he came to his decision.

"I suppose it can't be helped." he stated, gliding over to the woman and her team.

With a wave of his scepter they were all in his domain in an instant. The second they were there, time began to flow for them once again. After the initial shock of being in a different place, they looked to the blue ghost.

"Another ghost!?" an African American woman exclaimed, ready to fire at him with her blaster.

"Wait a second, Valerie! He's good!" another African American, a male, spoke, blocking her.

"What!? He's a ghost!" she replied, taking aim again.

"When are you going to learn that not all ghosts are bad? To be completely honest, it's really getting old." another woman spoke up. She had caucasian skin, with blue eyes and black hair. She wore a bodysuit of her own in blue with white gloves and boots.

"Ghosts are our enemies! Have you forgotten that!?" Valerie exclaimed.

"Danny wasn't! And you know damn well that if he was here now, he'd be saying the same thing so please shut up!" the woman shouted.

"Jade! Valerie! That's enough! Don't you see you're upsetting Sam!?" he male cut in, irritation clear in his voice.

"Tucker...I'm fine. But you're right. Val, not all ghosts are bad. You should know that by now." Samantha stated, a knowing look on her face. Valerie had no response but looked away with some embarrassment.

A cough caught their attentions once again.

"I hate to interrupt, but there are pressing matters to attend to." the blue ghost, now elderly looking with a long beard, stated. Sam turned back to him and spoke.

"Right, so Clockwork, are you here to help us?" she asked.

"Me myself? No, I'm afraid I can't help you there." he replied.

"Yeah, real good ghost you guys." Valerie grumbled.

"SHH!" Tucker and Jade shushed her.

"I may not be able to help you physically, and I already know about what happened to Danny of course…" he sated. Everyone seemed to have an expression change into sadness.

"However, there is a way to save him and prevent the devastation in your time." he continued.

"How, if I may ask, Clockworth." Jade asked, stepping up next to Sam.

"There is someone who can help you. Whether or not he'll want to is another thing entirely." he replied.

"Whether he'll want to? Is this a ghost that we know from fighting them before? And even if it is, you would think that he'd want to save his world, if not for everyone else than for himself." Jade replied.

"You are a perceptive one, aren't you." Clockwork, now a child with buck teeth and chubby cheeks stated.

"Guilty as charged." Jade replied with a smile.

"So who is it then? Samantha asked.

Clockwork said nothing, simply floated over to a shelf, picking up a metal object. An old fenton thermos with dents protruding from it.

"Try not to freak out, would you?" he stated, unscrewing the top to the thermos.

The top fell off deftly, before a streaming blast of light filled the room, forcing everyone to cover their eyes, followed by a deep voice laughing.

"You've finally cracked, old man!" the voice stated.

The light faded and a new figure stepped forward as the others uncovered their eyes, though none of them were expecting the sight in front of them.

There, standing with an air of darkness around him, a toothy, fanged smile on his face, fiery hair as white as snow and eyes as red as blood stood the unthinkable.

"It's been a long time hasn't it?" he spoke, still to the shock of Sam and her team.

There standing a few feet ahead of them, was Dan Phantom, the evil alternative self of Danny Fenton.

At that moment, two things were certain. One being that no one had been prepared for this, and two, all Hell was about to break loose.

So, I was feeling nostalgic and was watching all our old favorites from the early 2000's, and I had this idea. I wondered what it would be like to see Dan Phantom again since it didn't get to happen in the series before it ended. Let's just see where this goes, shall we? Review and Like! Peace out!
