[this is kinda AUish, as, in this fanfic, Phantom Planet never happened] Clockwork, as we all know, watches over the time-stream, seeing every possible future stemming from every person's potential actions, like watching a parade from above. But what happens when clouds cover a branch of the parade? Pariah Dark is going to return, hellbent on revenge against Daniel Fenton for defeating him. Clockwork, seeing that every possible outcome leads to Danny's death, decides to do the one thing he can do without destroying the time-stream, he lets Dark Danny/Dan Phantom go. Will Dan prove to still be a hero at heart? Or will he prove to be the villain he once fought against?
