"Destroy him, NOW," roared Vlad Plasmius, pointing a finger at Danny.Fenton. Vlad had earlier managed to convince all the ghosts that Danny had ever defeated to band together to destroy the fourteen year old, and it looked like he would finally succeed. Danny had no chance, and now he was lying against a slab of rock, to weak to go ghost again. He closed his eyes waiting for the inevitable. It never came.

Danny opened his eyes to see Clockwork floating in front of him. "Clockwork, what are you doing here?" "Saving you," he replied. He paused then said, "Well I'm not saving you, but giving you a second chance." "What do you mean," Danny asked, a little dumbfounded. Clockwork sighed, then said "Danny haven't you ever considered the fact that one day your enemies might blow you in to an oblivion?"

"Well, yeah... but I've always won, and usually the only time I lose is to Plasmius, but he doesn't really want to kill me when he's in love with my mom," he replied, rolling his eyes a little. "Well Danny, apparently you've realized you are going to get killed. "But I thought you said- "I said," said Clockwork impatiently "That I'm going to give you a second chance," he hurried on before Danny could interrupt again, "Since you are half ghost, you will simply become a full ghost, however I'm willing to give you a chance back at becoming the "halfa" once again... Only if you enter the Ghost Zone interdimensional tournment. Danny quirked an eyebrow and said, "I'm not going to ask the obvious question." (What's That?) "Good," Clockwork retorted. "The tournament only allows ghosts and ghost hunters from the Ghost Zone, and the Human world."

"So, they don't allow half ghosts?" Danny asked. Clockwork rolled his eyes. "Well a half ghost can look like a ghost or ghost hunter, and if by a half ghost you mean Vlad over there don't get your hopes too high, he has quite a few connections in the Ghost Zone." Danny asked flashed a eerie green for one second. "I'm not hoping he doesn't enter, I want him to enter, along with those other punks, so I can get them one by one!" Clockwork smirked "Wow you figured out one of the rules of the tournament without asking a rhetorical question."

Danny felt his anger give him a surge of energy through his weak body, and suddenly two white rings appeared around him that transformed him into his ghost half: Danny Phantom. How before he could even think of firing his ghost ray,a monstrous ghost ray

that no ghost alone was capable at creating, came roaring toward Danny, a brief moment of pure indescribable agony, then blackness...

Sorry that was such a shory I need to work on my spacing so it seems bigger. Rand R
