I'm so, so sorry, everyone. Time got away from me. :)

Anywho, here is the final chapter. Enjoy! :)

Minor spoilers for the Danny Phantom episode: "Infinite Realms".

Chapter 10: By Your Side

Danny fired his ice rays at Vlad Plasmius, who simply blocked the rays with a smug look.

A smug look that changed to horror when he felt ice suddenly strike his back and he could do nothing to stop it. Genesis flew in front of the wicked halfa and fired more ice from her eyes before smirking and turning to Danny. "Think we can throw him all the way to Walker's prison?" She asked.

Danny shook his head. "That's very tempting though," he said. "Did you slow down time by chance?"

She nodded. "It's high time we had the upper ground with this creep," she said.

The boy was now glad Genesis had insisted he wear a time medallion in this battle because as she just said, it gave them the upper ground. He then had an idea. "Hey, remember that guy that came to the Clocktower the other day? That yeti in the blue cloak?" He asked her.

"Frostbite? Yes, I remember," Genesis said with a nod.

"He was pretty mad at Plasmius for stealing the Infi-Map, right?"

The girl ghost caught on what her brother was saying. "He was hopping mad," she said. "Even when Dad found the map in Plasmius' home and returned it to Frostbite, the Far Frozen leader was really looking forward to teaching Plasmius a big lesson, but Plasmius got away before he could."

Danny grinned. "How far are we from the Far Frozen right now?" He asked.

Genesis glanced around and saw the realm in the far distance along with the Clocktower and the Dream lair. "Pretty close, actually," she said, pointing over to where it was.

He was still grinning. "Hit a double?" He asked.

She returned the grin. "Let's do it," she said.

The two fired up their ghost rays from their eyes and Danny also fired his ghost rays from his hands too. Genesis did the same with one hand while her other hand lifted up and just as the ghost rays hit the frozen halfa, Genesis snapped her fingers, putting time back at normal speed.

Plasmius couldn't even cry out as he was blasted away from the two and on a collision course with the Far Frozen realm. Giggling, Genesis turned to Danny, who was chuckling. "So, we delivered Undergrowth back to the Observants, dealt with Technus, and just sent Plasmius to the Far Frozen," he said. "Thank goodness today was a day off from school."

"You said it," said Genesis with a smile as they began flying towards the Clocktower. Nocturne, who had just returned from a mission himself, waved to them.

"Hello, you two," he said.

"Hi, Nocturne!" They returned the greeting and the dream ghost motioned them closer, giving a book to Genesis and a packet of sleep dust to Danny.

"Genesis, will you please take this book back to your father and tell him I enjoyed reading it?" He asked.

"Of course," she said instantly.

He nodded. "Danny, you can use the dream dust if you ever need to head out without your parents noticing," he said. "I've seen you've had trouble leaving the house when some of the other ghosts cause trouble and your parents jump in before you're able to transform and deal with the troublemaker ghosts."

"Thanks, Nocturne," said Danny, taking the dream dust and then looking sad. "It'd be a lot easier if they weren't so bent on destroying ghosts," he said softly.

Nocturne placed a gentle hand on the boy's shoulder. "If you ever feel endangered by your parents, Danny, you can always come to my lair," the dream ghost said kindly.

"Thank you," the halfa said politely before Genesis straightened up a bit and turned in the direction of the Clocktower.

"Dad's calling us," she said gently.

They bid farewell to Nocturne and flew to the Clocktower. "Danny, you know Dad would never turn you away if you needed a safe haven," Genesis said to him.

"Yeah, I know," Danny said with a sad sigh.

They arrived at the Clocktower and went into the screen room where Clockwork was and he came over to them, pulling them both into a warm hug. "Well done, both of you," he said. "Genesis, how are your time powers doing, little one?"

"I think they've leveled out now," she said. "And that's okay. I don't need my powers going out of control."

"Same here," said Danny with a chuckle. "I don't need you more powerful than me, little sister."

She smirked at him. "I'm already more powerful than you, Danny," she said.

"Oh, yeah?" He asked with a smile.

"Yeah," she said, returning them smile before Danny caught her in a gentle headlock and gave her a noogie, making her squeal and laugh. "Danny!" She protested, but her giggles told him that she didn't really mind as they roughhoused a bit. Clockwork chuckled a little as the siblings then called a truce and got up, but Danny then gazed at the time screens and saw his parents were battling some more Octo-ghosts and sighed.

"Daniel?" Clockwork asked in concern, although he had a feeling he knew what was bothering the boy. While he could see the future and such, he couldn't always see what was bothering his charges.

The boy halfa looked at Clockwork and Genesis. "I wish my parents will accept me if and when I reveal my secret to them," he said softly.

Genesis went up to her brother. "I'm certain they will," she said. "Because if you could accept me as your ghost sister, then your parents will still accept you too. Both sides of you."

Danny smiled at his sister, who then hugged him and he returned the hug. "And I'll be at your side the whole way, Danny," he heard her promise him.

He smiled. "Thank, sis," he said.

Andreas, who has just arrived at the Clocktower, gently cleared his throat. "I'll be there for you two as well," he promised.

"As will I," said Clockwork seriously. "Remember that, Daniel."

"I will," he said. "Thanks, Clockwork. Thanks, Andreas."

The Observant nodded. "By the way, the Observant High Council asked me to thank you two for delivering Undergrowth to them," he said.

Genesis turned to him in surprise. "Wow, I never would have expected that," she said.

"I must admit, they did say it begrudgingly," said Andreas.

"Well, if the Observant High Council can say thank you, then I think there's hope that my parents will accept me too," said Danny.

Clockwork smiled secretly. "Yes, Daniel. They will, one day," he said to himself as he watched the siblings begin messing around once again and this time dragged Andreas into their game, making the Master of Time chuckle as he watched them, proud of both Danny and Genesis.

Because of them, time was exactly the way it should be.

And that concludes "Genesis Of Time." I want to extend a big thanks to everyone who read, faved, reviewed, and liked the story. You guys made it all possible. Thank you so much for your support and kind words.
