Chapter 10: Nightmare

A/N: Hello many peoples, welcome back! Danny refuses to dismantle his war bunker in my Writer's room I have moved into Ghost Writer's place while he's on vacation.


Ghost Writer: *enters* Hello books, I'm home! Did you miss- Wait.... what are you doing here?!

Me: Aw man *sigh* Now I gotta find a new place. Hmm maybe I can hang out at Clockwork's.

Clockwork: *pops head through a portal* Not a chance.

Me: Ugh, I guess it's back to the bunker. While I get kicked out, enjoy the next chapter! Hey Danny! Get my popcorn ready please!

Danny's POV

I was running through darkness.

"You can't escape yourself Danny," Dan's voice taunted,"You will become me, one way or another."

"No!" I shouted as I continued to run through the pitch black.

Dan laughed, it's hollow sound surrounding me, "You can't escape fate Danny. And your fate, is me."

Dan continued to laugh as I caught sight of the Nasty Burger. My friends and family (and Mr.Lancer) were all tied to the explosive vat. I ran as fast as I could, trying to transform to no avail. I tripped over a piece of debris and fell to the ground. The Nasty Burger exploded right before my eyes. The force of the explosion knocked me backwards and I smashed my head on the ground. My head pounded as I felt blood drip down my neck. My ears were ringing with Dan's laughter.

Tears dripped down my face, "I won't let you win. I beat you once and I'll beat you again."

Dan stopped laughing, "Ever the hero," his voice echoed, "But you can't beat me, if you already are me."

A mirror dropped in front of me. I looked up to see Dan's smiling face. I scrambled away from the mirror, the reflection mimicking my movements. The reflection of Dan began to laugh and to my horror, so did I.

Our laughter echoed through the darkness and tears streamed down my face. I fired a ice dagger at the mirror, shattering it to pieces. I continued to laugh. I couldn't stop. I was gasping for breath in between laughs.

I curled into a ball, tears falling, my laughs echoing around me.

"Time to face your future Danny"

THE ALMIGHTY LINE BREAK

Fright Knight's POV

Clockwork continued to be silent, pacing back and forth in thought as he shifted from form to form. I was getting slightly annoyed at his lack of explanation.

I was just about to speak when Talia flew into the room. "King Pavor! Time Master! Come quickly!" she cried as she raced towards us.

Clockwork stopped his pacing and stared at the young maid, "Talia what's wrong?" I asked as she caught her breath.

"It's Danny," she panted. Clockwork immediately flew out of the room. I grabbed Talia's hand and raced after the Master of Time. We flew up to Danny's room and rushed in. 2 maids and a butler were standing around Danny's bed, holding him down while he thrashed about and laughed hysterically. Another butler was standing off to the side.

"What is going on here?!" Clockwork demanded .

The butler on the side was the one who answered, "I heard some commotion coming from Master Danny's room and found him like this."

I rushed to Danny's side and grabbed his shoulders. "Danny!" I shouted, "Wake up." The young halfa continued to laugh and thrash about.

"Castle, can you wake Danny?" I asked

"I have been trying. For some unknown reason our link is blocked, I cannot speak to him," the castle replied.

Clockwork floated beside me and removed my hands from Danny's shoulders. He placed his hand on Danny's forehead and closed his eyes. The boy's laughter died down and he stopped fighting against the maids and butler. His eyes flew open and he bolted upright in bed.

"GET AWAY!" he screamed and fired an ectoblast. Luckily, it didn't hit anyone. I grabbed Danny's shoulders once more, "Danny, calm down. You're safe."

He looked me in the eyes, breathing heavily. Danny slowly laid back down on the pillow.

"Can one of you please fetch a drink and towel for me?" Clockwork asked the staff. They all nodded and left the room leaving only Clockwork, Danny, Talia, and myself.

"He's back," Danny whispered, "He's back."

Danny continued to whisper to himself and Talia floated to his side. She sat on the bed and squeezed his hand. I stood up and angrily faced Clockwork, "I mean no disrespect Time Master, but I demand you explain who that ghost was and why you and Danny both know him."

Clockwork sighed as he shifted to his elderly form, "Dan Phantom was a version of Danny from the future. I'll spare you the gruesome details, but basically Dan Phantom was the worst ghost to ever exist. Danny fought him and trapped him inside a Fenton Thermos that has rested in my realm ever since."

Clockwork shifted to his toddler form, "Not to long ago, my tower was attacked and I assume during that time the thermos was stolen. Due to him existing outside of time and being in the same realm as an Elder Spirit for 2 years must have let him absorb some spirit energy, thus making him part spirit."

The Master of Time pulled a book out of his robe, the title reading 'Ancient Artifacts of the Ghost Zone'.

"When my tower was attacked this book was knocked over," Clockwork said as he flipped through it's pages. He stopped on a page with a drawing of a yellow stone on a black chain. The same one that Dan Phantom had been wearing.

"The Stone of Thought, created to allow the wearer telepathic abilities and increase their ghostly abilities," Clockwork explained.

He pulled out another book, this one looking more worn with it's rough leather cover and frayed pages. Clockwork flipped through the pages and stopped on a page with old faded writing.

"This is the prophecy Dan Phantom spoke," Clockwork said. He pointed to a symbol that was on the page, opposite the prophecy. A flaming red crown covered in black thorns with a blue diamond in the center.

"This symbol was on Dan Phantom's chest when he delivered the prophecy," I exclaimed.

Clockwork nodded, "And the prophecy mentions a Crown, Diamond, and Thorn. They most likely refer to people."

I began to read the prophecy. Once I finished I noticed the title.

"Clockwork? Fright Knight? Talia? What happened? Where am I?" Danny asked as he sat up in bed.

"It's ok Danny. You're safe. That evil ghost man won't hurt you," Talia said as she hugged Danny. The young halfa hugged the girl back.

"What were you guys talking about?" Danny asked as he and Talia separated.

I gave Danny the book holding the prophecy. He read the ancient writing and his eyes widened, "What does all this mean?"

Clockwork lowered his head, "That someone wanted to make sure, the Phantom Prophecy was delivered."

A/N: *back in Danny's war bunker* Hope you all enjoyed that chapter. On a random note if you don't hear from me tomorrow it is because I am obsessing over the Star Wars Rebels season 3 premiere!!!!!
