AUTHOR'S NOTES:
Hey guys welcome to season 4! I know that this isn't the publish date I said it would be published, but I've been having a great week and I decided to publish the first chapter two weeks early. The second chapter will be published on the 10th of June. Now just a heads up, I got my characters outfits ideas from Amethyst-Ocean and JaxxyLupei on Deviantart. I also watched Butch Hartman's video on YouTube about the Secrets of the Ghost Zone and had decided to include some of those in this new season. If some of you don't know what I'm talking about, go to YouTube and check out the video and also there is a reference to LooneyAces's DPMU fanfiction story in this first chapter so keep an eye out.
ENJOY!
"So Danny and Dayla Phantom are heroes of the world? Accepted for the half ghost hybrids they are?" A voice filled with anger asked. "How dare they?! How dare they take my glory?! Well I think it's about time for a little reunion with Little Badger and Little Wolf"
A BITTER RETURN
It had nearly been a year since the Disasteroid incident and Danny and Dayla Fenton had revealed themselves to the world that they were Danny and Dayla Phantom. The two had become famous heroes and were loved and accepted by everyone. They fixed things up with Valerie and now she was part of Team Phantom, the GIW were disbanded by order of the President of the United States but rumours have spread that they were still continuing their operations in hiding, Tucker was still Mayor of Amity Park and still going to high school, Danny's grades had greatly improved thanks to Mr Lancer and the other teachers of Amity Park, both their powers had been getting better thanks to Clockwork and Frostbite being their teachers and Sam and Danny had become boyfriend and girlfriend.
Today the twin siblings were just coming out of the movies and walking towards their home. Over the past year, their attire had changed a bit. Danny now wore a full red short sleeved shirt with a black jacket, his jeans were a little darker in blue and red converse shoes and Dayla wore light blue long sleeved shirt with a short sleeved purple shirt over it, her usual black jeans and now purple converse shoes.
The others had also gone through a wardrobe change. Sam's hair had gotten a little longer and was now just at her shoulders are and she now wore a black short sleeved shirt that left her midriff uncovered, short purple lace fingerless gloves, black combat pants and her favourite combat boots, Tucker still had his red beret, a yellow short sleeved shirt with black trimmings on the sleeves with a white long sleeved t-shirt underneath with also black trimmings, his usual green cargo pants and brown boots, Andrew wore a white short sleeved shirt with a long sleeved red and black checkered shirt over it and left the buttons undone, light blue denim jeans and black combat boots, Jazz's hair was shorter and was just above her shoulders and she now wore a black short sleeved shirt, a blue skirt with black leggings and flat blue shoes and Valerie wore a black skirt with her yellow singlet top but now an orange cardigan with it and white boots that went to her knees.
"I wonder why mum and dad wanted us out of the house for a few hours" Danny said.
Dayla shrugged her shoulders and said, "I don't know but it was kind of weird that usually Sam, Tucker and Andrew would come with us but today they were all busy"
They both continued and as they came near Fenton Works, Dayla sighed and said, "I can't believe it's almost been a year since we saved the world"
"Yeah. So much has changed" Danny said in agreement.
Danny then opened the front door of the house only to find it was completely dark inside as they both entered, Dayla then flicked the lights on and as soon as she did Maddie, Jack, Jazz, Sam, Andrew, Tucker and Valerie all jumped out and shouted, "SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"
Danny and Dayla jumped in fright and then panted heavily causing everyone to laugh at their reactions. They both then regained their postures and smiled.
"Oh my gosh! I completely forgot it was our birthday today" Danny said. Dayla then added, "Me too"
Sam came up and hugged Danny who then smiled brightly and then they both kissed each other on the lips. Andrew and Dayla then did the same thing. Music played, food was served and everyone talked to each other.
"I can't believe my little brother and sister are now sixteen years old" Jazz who was now 18 years old said as she hugged them both. "I'm gonna miss you two when I go to college in the fall"
"We're gonna miss you too Jazz" Dayla said. "I can't believe we're gonna be juniors in just a few weeks"
Jazz had been accepted at the University of Wisconsin just like her parents did and was going to be studying a degree in Psychology and Paranormal Studies.
"Seems like only yesterday we were all freshman" Valerie said. "And now look at us"
A few minutes later they were all opening presents. Sam had gotten them both brand new laptops, Andrew got Danny a new video game and Dayla a new art set, Tucker had invented them video watches/communicators, Valerie with the help of Maddie and Jack actually made them some brand new weapons for ghost hunting, for Danny she made a brand new version of the Booo-merang so not only it would track down a ghost but also trap it within a an anti-ghost rope and for Dayla her own Bo staff similar to the one Maddie used during that time they were being chased by ghost animals, Jazz got Danny a ticket for the brand new space exhibit at the Amity Park museum coming soon and Dayla some extra art lessons during the rest of the summer.
A couple of memories came to Jack's head as she saw Jazz's presents and he smiled warmly as he remembered them.
FLASHBACK SIXTEEN YEARS AGO AT THE AMITY PARK HOSPITAL…
Jack standing in the delivery room holding Maddie's hand as she screamed in pain due to being in labour.
"Just one more push Mrs Fenton and we'll have the first baby" The doctor said.
Maddie nodded and then with one more scream and the sound of a baby cried throughout the room. The doctor kept saying, "It's a boy! It's a boy"
Jack and Maddie smiled happily and then after taking care of the newborn baby boy he said, "Okay Mrs Fenton it's time to deliver the second baby"
Maddie nodded and then screamed as she began to push. A few minutes later another sound of a baby crying was heard in the room and the doctor said, "It's a girl"
Both Jack and Maddie smiled and kissed each other for the arrival of their daughter. The doctor and nurse then handed the two babies to the tired mother and said, "Congratulations Mr and Mrs Fenton, you have a pair of healthy twins"
Maddie smiled warmly at her two newborn children and kissed them on the forehead, Jack then held the boy while Maddie held the baby girl.
"Maddie they're so beautiful" Jack said. "I can't believe we have twins"
They both then swapped babies and this time Maddie was holding the baby boy and Jack was holding the baby girl. They both then watched as both the babies eyes opened, revealing that they both had been born with blue eyes.
"Jack look at their eyes" Maddie gushed. "Aren't they amazing?"
"Have you decided on their names?" The nurse asked.
"Maddie I promised you would get to pick the names this time" Jack said. "I named Jasmine"
Maddie smiled and said, "Our son's name will be Daniel but I will call him Danny for short and our daughter shall be named Dayla"
The nurse smiled and wrote down their names for the birth certificates and then left the new parents to spend time with their newborn children.
"These two are gonna do amazing things when they're older. I just know it" Jack said with pride.
FLASHBACK TEN YEARS AGO AT FENTONWORKS…
"Happy birthday Danny and Dayla!" Jack, Maddie and an eight year old Jazz cheered as they sat in the living room celebrating their youngest children's sixth birthday.
Danny and Dayla giggled and blew out their candles on their cake. They all cheered and they all began to eat the cake.
Maddie smiled at her children and then asked, "So Danny, Dayla what do you two want to be when you grow up?"
"I wanna be an astronaut and fly in a big rocket ship" Danny said with a bright smile. Dayla then answered, "And I wanna paint pictures mummy and put them in a gallery for everyone to see"
She smiled warmly at them knowing a few days ago she heard them in their rooms talking about the same thing. She then pulled out two colourful wrapped boxes and handed them out to them. They both smiled brightly and opened their presents, Danny gasped and smiled as he found a Build Your Own Rocket Ship set and Dayla squealed in excitement as she found a sketchbook and coloured pencils in her present box.
"I think your dreams are gonna come true my babies" Maddie said as she kneeled down in front of them.
They both placed their presents down and then hugged their mother together and said in unison, "Thanks mummy. I love you"
"Oh I love you guys too" Maddie cooed as she hugged them back.
Maddie came out of memory lane and then she and Jack handed them their presents for them. She and Jack got them both some new clothes, of course Maddie made sure Jack wasn't going to get them jumpsuits.
Danny then smiled as he thought of a present he could get for both of them, he summoned the coldness inside him and then used his ice energy to create a ying and yang symbol pendant. It then split the symbol apart and put them on two rope chains and handed the ying symbol to Dayla.
"I'm sorry this is last minute since we both forgot it was our birthday, I made this for the both of us" Danny said as he tied the necklace around her neck. "This is a reminder of my promise to always take care of you as your brother and to always be by your side in everything"
"Oh Danny thank you!" Dayla said with a bright smile and then both of them shared a sibling hug. "I promise that too"
Everyone smiled at the moment, especially Jack and Maddie as they remembered exactly when Danny had made that promise when he and Dayla were six years old.
FLASHBACK TEN YEARS AGO AT THE AMITY PARK PLAYGROUND…
Six year old Danny and Dayla Fenton were playing at the park around the trees and bushes, Dayla then saw a seven year old boy on the other side of the bush and ran over and asked, "Hi do you wanna play?"
The boy sneered at her and then ran over and shoved her over to the ground as he said while laughing at her, "No way freak! My daddy says your parents are wackos, which makes you one too!"
Dayla's lip trembled and then she began to cry, Danny got angry and then shoved the boy away from Dayla as he shouted, "Leave her alone meanie!"
Suddenly a woman came up to them and shouted, "Hey! That's enough!"
She then kneeled down to her son and asked with concern, "Baby are you alright?"
"They were being mean mummy" The boy faked cried.
A younger looking Jack and Maddie then came over to them and Jack asked, "Is there a problem here ma'am?"
The woman glared and said, "Fenton? Why am I not surprised? Your delinquent children apparently were hurting my child and causing trouble"
"Ma'am my children are not delinquents!" Maddie shouted not happy with what this woman was saying about her children. She then looked down and asked, "Did you children hurt her son?"
"No mummy. He was being mean to Dayla and pushed her so I told him to stop and pushed him back" Danny said truthfully.
"Dayla is that true?" Jack then asked his little girl. Dayla nodded with a sniffle.
"They're obviously lying like you two do about ghosts" The woman said. "A couple of wackos just like their parents"
That's when Jack got mad, "Hey! My children are not wackos and they are certainly not liars!"
The woman huffed and just held her son's hand and the two walked away. Jack and Maddie then calmed down as Dayla asked, "Mummy am I a freak?"
They're gazes softened and Maddie kneeled down and pulled both Danny and Dayla into a hug as she said, "No baby. You're not a freak. Neither of you two are. You're my special babies and you'll always will be"
"Are you okay Dayla?" Danny asked as he then helped his sister off the ground.
She nodded and then the cutest thing happened. Danny pulled Dayla into a hug and said, "I promise to always protect you and be with you, because I'm your brother and that's my job"
"Thanks Danny" Dayla said as she stayed in the hug while Jack and Maddie smiled warmly at the scene.
The party continued on and all the teens were sitting in the living room looking back on some of their old battles.
"Hey Danny remember when Ember put a love spell on you?" Tucker laughed. "Oh man you looked like a love sick puppy!"
Everyone laughed earning an annoyed look from Danny. He then smirked as he then said to Tucker, "Oh yeah? What about that time when you went Goth because you didn't like being called Bad Luck Tuck?"
Everyone then went into hysterical laughter as they remembered that, Tucker remained quiet and just pouted at the memory. Valerie then said, "Hey remember when Skulker kidnapped us and took us to his island?"
"Oh man! How could I forget? That was when Tucker tried out a babysitting service and then everyone's flower sacks got destroyed because his mum made cookies with them" Andrew said while laughing.
"Or what about the time when mine and Danny's moods were connected to the weather?" Dayla said as she giggled. "Remember everything we did to Vlad?"
Danny laughed while holding his stomach and then said, "Oh yeah! I was just glad he didn't charge us for damaging his antiques"
Everyone laughed at that one. Sam then said, "How about the time Dayla and I were taken to Dora's realm after the beauty contest? My feet were killing me after trying to put on those glass slippers!"
"I will say this Sam, you may not have been a princess but you made an awesome knight" Danny said which earned him a kiss on the cheek from Sam which everyone awed at.
Soon the party ended and everyone left for their homes, Danny and Dayla kissed their partners goodbye and then helped Jazz, Jack and Maddie clean up before going to be bed. As they slept they were both unaware that a pair of red eyes was watching their windows and then took off.
The next morning Danny and Dayla woke up and then went downstairs to join their family for breakfast, the both found that the best part of breakfast was that there was no longer any secrets kept from each other, as they finished they both suddenly heard a knock at the door.
Danny got up and answered it and found it was Professor Wakes from the Amity Park Observatory who said with urgency, "Danny Fenton I need you and your sister to come to the observatory"
Dayla then came up to the door as she heard that. Danny then asked, "What is it? Is it the Disasteroid again?"
"No but we found something on our telescope and on the spectral reading that your parents installed that we need your help with" Professor Wakes answered.
"If it's urgent than we better get moving" Dayla said. "Wait here while we go get dressed"
Professor Wakes nodded and then Danny and Dayla ran upstairs and got dressed as quickly as they could. They both then exited the house and got into the back of Professor Wakes's car and remained silent as he started driving to the observatory. They arrived and then headed to the main computer room where the large telescope was, Professor Wakes then pulled out a photograph from the desk and handed it to Dayla.
"This is an image that the satellite took where our telescope picked up" Professor Wakes explained. Dayla looked at it and saw a white blur but couldn't make out what it was.
She then handed it to Danny and asked, "What do you think Danny?"
He looked at the picture and then answered, "At first by looking at it, I would say it's a meteor but the trails all wrong and plus you mentioned Professor that it had a spectral reading"
"Maybe a closer look at the image could depict what it is" Dayla suggested. "Professor, can you send a digital copy to us, our parents equipment or Tucker might be able to clear the image more"
"Of course. I'll have it sent to you later this afternoon" Professor Wakes said with a nod.
They both nodded and then phased out of the lab, they arrived back at home and explained to Jack and Maddie what they found. The email then arrived later that afternoon and Maddie had taken it to their computer where Tucker fully upgraded to the next level.
"Okay the computer is scanning the image but the results I'm afraid will not be shown for about 24 hours" Maddie explained as the computer began to scan the image.
"Just do your best mum" Danny said. "The sooner we figure out what the picture is, the sooner we can discover why it had an ectoplasmic reading on it"
"I didn't think there'd be any ghosts or anything that has a spectral reading other than the Disasteroid" Dayla said. Danny nodded and said, "Neither did I, but whatever it is let's hope it's not bad news"
Later that night Danny was out on a movie date with Sam, they were watching the latest DC film Son of Batman. Danny smiled warmly as Sam leaned her head on his shoulder during the movie, his mind however was still on about the satellite picture.
"Danny are you okay?" Sam asked quietly.
"Sorry just thinking about what happened today" Danny said. Sam nodded and then asked, "Do you want to skip the movie? I'll totally understand"
"No it's okay. Let's finish the movie and then how about we go for a walk in the park?" Danny suggested.
Sam nodded and they both turned back and continued watching the film. An hour later the movie was over and just like Danny suggested they both headed for the park and sat down at the fountain that was in the middle of it.
"Hey Danny I never asked but what do you think happen to Vlad?" Sam asked. "You know after his plan failed"
Danny shrugged and answered, "I don't really know. A lot of people even some of his allies who are in the Ghost Zone think he died in space"
"Do you think that?" She asked. Danny shook his head and said, "No. For some reason I have a feeling he's still out there but too much of a coward to even try and come back and besides even if he did, the police, FBI and CIA are all after him"
"Well if he does ever come back, we'll be ready for him. I just don't want you to get hurt if he does" He finished.
"That won't ever happen Danny, because we've handled Vlad before and we'll do it again" She said.
He smiled warmly at her and then they both shared a passionate kiss. Danny then said as they kissed, "I really love you Sam Manson"
"I really love you too Danny Fenton" Sam said back.
Meanwhile Dayla was sitting on the far side of the park under a tree, sketching the night sky. This was always her favourite part of summer vacation, she always found the opportunity to sit down in the park and draw to her heart's content. She had just finished and sighed in satisfaction, she got up and began to leave when suddenly her phone rang.
"Hello?" She asked.
"Dayla! The results came back" Maddie said with slight panic and fear in her voice.
"Woah mum calm down! What did the computer say?" Dayla asked calmly.
"The picture from the satellite it's…"
BOOOOOM!
Dayla was knocked off her feet as something blasted right near where she was sitting and caused a small crater in the ground. She groaned and then stood up and changed into her ghost form. She looked around and then stood in front of the small crater.
"Where the heck did that come from?" Dayla wondered. "Could it possibly be from that alternate universe again?"
She saw her phone on the ground, she picked it up and sighed as she saw the screen was cracked and now the phone was broken. Suddenly she heard an evil chuckle behind her as her ghost sense went off, she dropped the phone and turned to face whatever ghost was there but no-one was there. She then walked warily around and kept an eye out.
"Whoever you are show yourself!" Dayla demanded.
"Now, now my dear" A familiar voice said. Dayla froze at the sound of it. "Is that anyway to treat your dear old uncle?"
She gasped and then turned to see floating right there was Vlad Plasmius! Her eyes widened and she shouted, "Plasmius!"
"In the flesh" Vlad said with a grin. "How's life? Had a nice year while I was rotting in space because of you and your pathetic brother?!"
Dayla growled and then fired an ecto blast right into his stomach and knocked him back a few feet. She then said, "Actually yes. We both have gotten stronger"
He chuckled and said, "Oh I can see that but I am still consider myself much more powerful than you Little Wolf"
Danny and Sam were on their way to Sam's house as they left the park when Danny's phone rang. He picked it up and asked, "Hello?"
"Danny! Thank goodness! You need to find Dayla right now" Maddie said in pure fear.
"Mum what's going on?" Danny asked now feeling worried.
"I think she's under attack at the park. I called her to tell her that I got the results of the computer" Maddie began. "It's Vlad he's back! And I think Dayla might be in danger!"
Danny's eyes widened and then he said, "I'll find her mum. Get everyone else and meet us at the park with any weapons you can grab"
He hung up the phone and changed into his ghost form, he then turned to Sam and said, "It's him Sam. Plasmius is back"
She gasped and then he picked her up and took to the air looking for Dayla, they both then stopped in mid-air as they heard noises coming from the far end of the park. He flew over and then landed behind the bushes, they pulled the branches back to see Dayla and Plasmius battling it out against each other.
"Sam stay here and call my parents" Danny said. "Tell her that we found Dayla at the far end of the park"
Sam nodded and said, "Go get him Danny"
He nodded and flew out of the bushes and then kicked Vlad right in the back and sent him straight into the ground. He then landed next to Dayla and they both glared at their arch enemy.
He chuckled as he stood up and dusted himself off as he said, "Well, well little Daniel has come to join the party"
"Well looks like ex-Mayor Fruitloop is back" Danny retorted back. "You should've stayed in space Plasmius"
"Sorry dear children but I still have plans to take over and rule the world" Vlad said as he threw a blast at them. "The plan you brats robbed me of a year ago!"
Danny deflected the shot and then Dayla's eyes glowed blue and she threw a large burst of ice straight at him, he dodged the ice but didn't see Danny come right at him and punched him right in the chin
"You made your own bed Plasmius, now you can sleep in it!" Dayla shouted as she froze his hands and feet to the ground. "That should hold you"
They all then heard the sound of the RV come up and out came Jack, Maddie, Andrew, Tucker, Valerie, Sam and Jazz with weapons in hand.
"Kids are you okay?" Jack asked.
"We're fine dad" Danny answered. Dayla then added, "Yeah but my mobile is now busted"
They all then turned to Vlad who continued to grin. Jack then sneered, "Well if it isn't Vladdie my ex-pal"
"Wow Jack. You look fatter and more stupid than ever" Vlad retorted back.
Jack growled and aimed his blaster, he was about to shoot him when Tucker stopped him and said, "Don't do it. It's just what he wants Mr Fenton"
"It's over Plasmius" Sam said. Andrew then added, "I called the police and they're on their way here"
"Looks like your little trip back home was a total waste of time fruitloop" Valerie then said as she kept her blaster on him.
"Do you mere children really think you can trap me?" Vlad challenge his grin not dropping.
"I think we just did" Dayla said with a smirk. "Just turn yourself in like all the good little criminals and no-one will have to see your ugly mug again"
"Oh I assure dear girl, I have no plans on going to jail just yet" Vlad said and then before any of them could say or do anything else he just disappeared.
"What the heck!" Everyone shouted in shock.
"Impossible!" Danny said. "He shouldn't have been able to phase out of Dayla's ghostly ice"
"Unless…." Jazz started and then her eyes widened in realisation. "It was a duplicate"
"Very good Jasmine" Vlad said as he appeared right above them. "After a year of becoming stronger in your powers and yet you two still fall for that old trick"
Danny and Dayla growled and charged right for him beginning a fight in the air, as they were fighting several police officers arrived and got out of their cars. Some of them were about to start shooting at Vlad when the chief shouted, "Don't shoot! We don't want to hit the Phantom's by accident!"
All of them nodded and just kept their guns at the ready. Vlad began charging right at them, Danny and Dayla nodded to each other and then combined their powers and formed a powerful ecto tornado, and Vlad didn't see that coming and gasped at the sight. He turned around and tried to fly from it but was sucked in and spun around and around until they shot him straight into a tree, they both stopped the tornado and watched as Vlad flew back up to them and stayed a great distance from them.
"Not bad at all" Vlad said. "You two have improved, but I also learned a new trick of my own"
"I doubt there's anything new you learned fruitloop" Danny said as he and Dayla then charged right at him for a frontal attack.
"Oh really?" Vlad challenged and then suddenly his eyes turned black and raised his arms in the air.
Danny and Dayla stopped as then suddenly a small bunch of clouds started circling in the sky, they continued to watch and then some sort of dark energy was absorbed into his body and the aura around Plasmius went from white to black and before they could do anything, he screamed as he blasted them with this dark energy.
Danny and Dayla screamed in pain as they were hit dead on, they could feel whatever power Vlad had blasted them with cutting and ripping at their bodies and with one final scream they both were sent straight into the ground causing a large crater. They both groaned and mumbled, "Wh-what w-was th-that?!"
Vlad then sent another burst and hit Danny and Dayla dead on once again, they both screamed a second time and when it was over, they both felt so weak they changed back into their human forms.
"DANNY! / DAYLA!" Everyone screamed and ran to their almost unconscious bodies.
Vlad continued to grin and then said, "Well looks like I did learn something new after all"
"What the heck was that?!" Jack demanded.
"Well you big oaf I shall explain it to you but I'll try to use words you can understand. When I was hit by that blasted asteroid the pain that was inflicted on me woke up a hidden power inside of me" Vlad explained. "I now have the ability to summon dark negative ghost energy no matter whether I'm in the Ghost Zone or in the human world and use it as a deadly weapon against my enemies at will and as you can see it's very effective, I can even use it to destroy Danny and Dayla once and for all"
"You're not gonna touch my babies you rat!" Maddie screamed as she held Danny and Dayla close to her.
Vlad continued to grin as he saw the damage his new power caused, their clothes were ripped and they had a few cuts on their arms and faces.
"Oh I won't kill them Maddie. Not today at least" Vlad said. "I'll let them live, they're still very useful to me"
"Surrender Masters! We got you surrounded" An officer demanded as all the police kept their guns on them.
"Sorry gentlemen but this is where I say ta!" Vlad said and then disappeared in a cloud of dark energy.
"He's getting away!" Tucker shouted. Valerie then said, "Never mind that, we better get Danny and Dayla to the hospital"
"She's right" Andrew said and looked down upon the now unconscious Danny and Dayla who were being held in the arms of Jack and Maddie. "Plasmius's new power did some heavy damage to them. Sam call an ambulance"
Sam nodded and started the phone call. Danny and Dayla woke up to the sound of beeping, they looked around to see they were in a hospital room on separate beds and in hospital gowns, bandages covered their arms and small ones on their faces and they were both attached to IV drips.
"Dayla are you okay?" Danny asked as he looked at his sister.
"I'm fine bro. A little weak but I'll live" Dayla answered. "How about you?"
"Same. What was that?" Danny asked.
Before Dayla could say anything a doctor along with Sam, Andrew, Jack, Maddie, Valerie, Tucker and Jazz entered the room. They both smiled at their friends and family, Andrew and Sam both pulled their boyfriend and girlfriend in a passionate kiss and then pulled apart.
"Thank goodness you both are okay" Sam said as she then turned and hugged Dayla.
Jack and Maddie then hugged their children, Dr Sarah then said, "The good news is you're both recovering very well. In fact if all goes well, you two will be released in two days but I suggest once you get home take a break from ghost fighting for a week"
"Thank you Doctor" Maddie said with a smile and then Dr Sarah left the room.
"I'm glad you guys are finally awake" Tucker said with relief. "You've both been asleep for ten days"
"TEN DAYS?!" Danny and Dayla shouted in shock.
Tucker then laughed and said, "Nah. Only for nine hours"
Everyone just glared at him and then her nervously laughed and then said, "I'll just quit with the jokes now"
"What I'd like to know what the heck was that power Plasmius hit us with" Danny said. Dayla nodded and said, "If felt so dark, negative and all I could feel was pain ripping me all over my body"
"It's some sort of new power he developed while he was stuck in space, apparently he got hit with the asteroid that was gonna destroy Earth and it somehow gave him the power to summon dark negative ghost energy and use it to fight" Andrew explained. "And we practically just witnessed what it can do to you guys"
"I had never thought that negative ghost energy could be used for something like that" Jack said.
"What happened after we passed out?" Dayla asked. "Did you manage to catch him?"
"He got away before any of us could grab him" Valerie answered. "Sorry guys"
"Hey it's not your fault. It's not anyone's fault. We should have figured he would've obtained a new power during his absence" Danny said.
"Where do you think he went to?" Jazz asked.
"Possibly the Ghost Zone but where I don't know" Danny answered. "There's a million doors leading to anywhere meaning trying to look for him will be like looking for a needle in a haystack. The best thing we can do is be ready for when he attacks"
"And we'll do it together" Dayla said as she placed her hand in. "Right Team Phantom?"
They all smiled and then Danny placed his hand in followed by Sam, Tucker, Andrew, Valerie, Jazz, Jack and Maddie.
They both were released from the hospital two days later and decided to pay a visit to Clockwork for advice on Plasmius, later on they took the Spectre Speeder and headed for Clockwork's tower, they landed at the front and then entered the tower and headed upstairs.
"Clockwork are you here?" Danny called out.
Clockwork then appeared before them with a smile and said, "Hello Danny and Dayla. Are you both alright? I only just saw on my time screens you both just got out of the hospital"
"We're both doing okay. By the way what's going on in that other universe" Danny explained.
Clockwork gestured to the time screen, showing an older Danny Phantom and Dani Phantom in a more advanced uniform fighting Dan Phantom and Dana Phantom along with the Masters Blasters in an epic battle along with the Avengers, Team Phantom, The United States Air Force, some ghosts they recognized such as Pandora, Skulker, Frostbite and Ember and some sort of strange Viking boat like craft.
"Looks like an intense battle" Dayla said. "I just can't believe that they're fighting Dan Phantom again and some sort of evil version of the Dani Phantom in that universe"
That made Danny thought of something and so he asked, "Clockwork, there's no way that Dan and Day Phantom can escape from the thermoses right?"
"I cannot say Danny" Clockwork answered. "There are always possibilities for Dan and Day Phantom to escape but that is up for the future to decide, but you both have come a long way since gaining your powers and if the day ever comes that you both may have to face your future selves again, I know you two will be ready and overcome your greatest fears. But I sense that's not the only reason why you two came here"
"As you probably know, Vlad Plasmius has returned and now he has some sort of new power that controls negative ghost energy" Danny started. Dayla then asked, "Was it all the Disasteroid that gave him that power or did Vlad have it inside him all along like?"
"There is a dark side and a light side in everything around us" Clockwork started as he replayed a scene on the time screen showing Vlad getting hit by the asteroid. "I can't say for sure but I believe that Plasmius did have that power inside him all along and all the Disasteroid did was awaken it"
"Is there any way to stop it?" Danny asked.
"I truly do not know Danny. Just remember what I said, in everything there is always a dark and light side" Clockwork repeated. "I'm sorry but that's all I can offer you two"
"Thank you Clockwork" Dayla said. "We better head home now"
"Have a safe journey you two and remember, you still have training with Pandora on Friday afternoon" Clockwork reminded with a smile.
They both nodded and then went back downstairs to the Spectre Speeder and started heading back to the Fenton Portal. As soon as they left, Clockwork's smile dropped and he felt some regret not telling them something he knew, but as much as he wanted to he knew it wasn't time yet.
Meanwhile in the Ghost Zone….
Fright Knight headed for the far end of the Ghost Zone on his horse heading for a large floating island, he landed and then tied his horse to a tree. He then flew up the large mountain that was on it and came up the ledge, he then knocked on the wall three times and then suddenly it opened to reveal and entrance.
He entered and then the wall closed behind him, he walked downstairs and found himself in a laboratory and sitting there in the large chair at a computer was Vlad Plasmius. Fright Knight kneeled before him and said, "Master I am glad you have returned"
Vlad grinned and turned the chair to face him, he gestured for him to rise and then stood up himself. He then said, "It's good to be back. It's a good thing I had this secret lair built before my unpleasant departure. I must ask though Fright Knight, what happened to the Crown of Fire and the Ring of Rage that I kept in my old mansion"
"I went there to try and retrieve it but unfortunately the ghost children along with the human forces found them before I did and now have hidden them somewhere" Fright Knight said.
Vlad's grin dropped and then he asked, "That is troublesome. Figures those brats would have taken them. What about any artefacts I have told you to keep an eye out for?"
"It seems that I have come across something Plasmius" Fright Knight answered as he pulled out what looked like an old journal page and handed it to him. "There was a rumour of a ghost named Sojurne who travelled around and documented everything section and everything about the Ghost Zone in a journal. The journal has never been found but some have said that pages of it float around in the Ghost Zone in random places and I came across this page a few months ago"
Vlad opened the journal page and saw what looked like a crimson red crystal on a gold chain and it immediately took his interest. He then read the journal entry out loud:
I have come across many powerful artefacts during my travels but nothing has compared to what I have found today. This crimson red crystal may look like an ordinary amulet but as I have often told myself, nothing is what it seems.
I had heard rumours about this crystal but I had never thought in my afterlife would I actually see it with my very own eyes.
It is known as the Amulet of Kyba, a powerful crystal which had been rumoured to be once owned by a powerful ghost named Sorcerer Kyba.
The legend of the story is incredible and sad to say the least. Sorcerer Kyba was part of a group of powerful ghosts named Nova and Bergthora who were given the job to protect the inhabitants of the Ghost Zone, but Kyba grew dark and saw nothing but evil and power about the Ghost Zone and so he had created the amulet it out of the dark energy of the Ghost Zone, ectoplasm of a ghost who he murdered and the blood of a female human and he had used it immense dark power to try and destroy all those who live in the Ghost Zone and rule it in his image.
Nova and his sister Bergthora fought against him to stop him for they were the only ones who could, no one knows why but somehow they had the ability to use the positive pure energy from the Ghost Zone.
During the battle, Nova was about to be killed until his sister made the ultimate sacrifice. She pushed Nova out of the way as Kyba sent the power of the crystal like a dagger straight for him and took the hit which destroyed her instead. In Nova's despair, he defeated and destroyed Kyba with a powerful blast and to this day, no-one knew how he managed to destroy Kyba but only that it left him so weak from the loss of his energy.
Nova and the rest of the Ghost Zone mourned for the loss of his sister and then he took the amulet and hidden it somewhere not known until today. With the last of his energy, he created a glass case and cast some sort of powerful spell on it that has been translated that only someone with a pure heart and who is both living and dead at the same time may open it and release the amulet.
But that is ridiculous! How can someone be alive and dead at the same time?!
Vlad smirked at that remark since he himself was a halfa and there were currently four more in the world. He then kept on reading out loud.
I understand how dangerous this amulet can be in the wrong hands so I for once shall not reveal its location in case right at this moment if someone truly evil is reading my journal, I have visited an old friend of mine who has used his power and knowledge of magic to place a charm on three more pages where I have written the location of this amulet and clues on how to get to it so that only those of pure heart can read it.
Vlad growled at that part but then kept on reading the entry.
I hope for my sake and everyone else's, no-one evil finds this amulet or uses it. I best leave for my next location.
Until next time,
Sojourn.
Nomad Traveller of the Ghost Zone.
Vlad continued to grin at the page and kept looking at the image of the amulet. He then faced Fright Knight and ordered, "Fright Knight, keep a look out for the next page of the journal that may describe more about this Amulet of Kyba and also any other pages you might find"
"Yes sir" Fright Knight said.
"It seems this journal that Sojourn wrote may prove useful to us and if I can somehow get a hold of this amulet, I can use it to once and for all take over the Ghost Zone and Earth" Vlad said getting more excited. "And also take care of Danny and Dayla Phantom once and for all!"
He laughed evilly into the air of his lair thinking about all the misery he was planning for the Ghost Zone and Earth.
"Spread the word around the Ghost Zone Fright Knight to any allies I may still have that Vlad Plasmius is back" Vlad ordered.
Fright Knight nodded and then left the lair to go and carry out Vlad's orders. Both of them didn't know that Clockwork had been watching them on the time screens the whole time, he shook his head at Vlad as the monitor went off.
He then turned to another screen which showed the image of Danny and Dayla with their friends and family in the hospital.
"Danny, Dayla be ready for the major battle that is to come" Clockwork said in his head. "I can't tell when it will happen but it will happen and when it does, you both will need to rise to the challenge and be victorious"
He then floated to a room in his tower and opened a door to reveal two bright amulets in the room, both of them had a glowing white chain attached to a glowing yellow crystal and a glowing green crystal.
"Everything is the way it's supposed to be"
