Sam and Jazz run into Fenton Works where they nearly bump into Mr. and Mrs. Fenton.
"Jazz, Sam, have either of you seen that awful Danny Phantom?" Maddie questioned.
The girls took a quick glance at each other before straightening up.
"No... but why?" Jazz asked.
"It seems your father has made a slight miscalculation," Maddie explained.
"I guess I should've done further study before blasting the Phantom kid. Look." Jack Fenton showed the girls a sterile plate with grey colored dust inside.
"What is it?" Sam asked.
"This was the same ectoplasm I used to test the Spirit-Splitter concoction but after 30 minutes of exposure to the serum, the ghost turned gray and dissolved into dust."
Hearing this, the girls' hearts nearly stopped beating.
Not noticing the teens' reactions, Jack continued. "We got to find the ghost punk and collect his remains."
"Wait!" Sam shouted. At the surprised look on the adult faces, the goth girl cleared her throat and said in a calmer voice. "I mean, isn't there a way to save him. Like a reverse switch."
"I never made one for the splitter," Jack replied. "And I'm sorry but we can't stop to explain."
"Jack is right," Maddie said. "We'll be back shortly. Bye kids."
Mr. and Mrs. Fenton ran out, with the Spirit-Splitter, and left the two teenage girls. Said girls were in disarray. Their dear friend and brother could be gone within minutes.
"What are we going to do?" Jazz said with tears in her eyes. "Danny's in pieces and we have no way to merge them back together."
Sam blinked as she thought. "Merge...?" she said. And then she jumped up, "That's it!" she runs into the kitchen.
"Sam! Where are you going?" Jazz cried out as she followed the goth girl.
"Danny's been split apart before when he used the ghost catcher." She makes it into the lab and quickly finds the giant spectral dream catcher. "Remember when you saw two Danny's at the same time?"
"Yes..." Jazz said recalling the crazy event when she thought she lost it.
"He split himself with this thing." Sam pointed at the catcher. "If the Ghost Catcher can merge the Danny's back together maybe Danny will be saved."
Jazz nodded. "It's the best we got. Let's do it." she and Sam grabbed the large catcher, held it up, and carried it up to the stairs.
"Don't go too fast, you're gonna to make me trip," Sam complained.
"We have to hurry before my parents find him... or worse." Jazz said grimly.
"Don't talk like that," Sam said. "Leave the dark stuff to me and let's just focus on saving Danny."
"You're right. I mean we've only been gone for two minutes. What could've happened?"
Jazz and Sam first checked to see that the coast was clear. Once it was deemed safe of the Fenton parents, the two teens stepped out of the house and went to where they left Tucker with the five Dannys'. When the ladies got there, they found Tucker, Sad Danny, and Fearful Danny trapped in a green and red ecto bubble.
"Tucker! What happened!?" Jazz exclaimed.
Tucker struggled against the near stranglehold he was in with the two Dannys'. Sad Danny was crying actual puddles of tears, and Fear Danny was hyperventilating.
"Dannys' green and red trapped us in here and took off," Tucker explained. "But Happy Danny dodged them and then went after them!"
"A-a-an-Anger and Di... Disgust hate us..." Sad Danny continued to sob.
"Who knows what they'll do?" Fear Danny spoke clutching Tucker closer. "They could cause all kinds of trouble. Like infractions, or misdemeanors... or stub their toes! Oh, Anger hates it when that happens."
Tucker tried to pry the ghost arms from his neck. He also pointed his neck to Fear Danny.
Fear Danny's eyes widened. "Oh no... TUCKER'S SUFFOCATING!" he shouted. In his panic, the purplish ghost boy flung his hands in the air and blasted purple ecto rays against the bubble. At once, the ecto trap popped and the teens landed in a thud and splash.
Tucker stands and brushes his himself, "So, what's the plan?" he asked noticing the Ghost Catcher.
"The plan was to get the Dannys' to go through the catcher so they can get back together as quickly as possible," Sam explained.
"But we need all the Dannys' for this." Jazz added. "Or else Danny will-"
"Or else what?" Fear Danny interrupted.
Jazz saw the purplish ghost boy looking up at her and she saw his shoulders shaking. "Um..." Jazz struggled. Should she tell him?
"Because..." Sam stepped in. "Danny will... get migraines?"
Fear Danny winced and said nothing further before clinging to his sister's arm.
Tucker stepped next to Sam and leaned his head close. "Migraines? Really?" he questioned quietly with a 'You're kidding right?' tone.
"Explain later, find Dannys' now. We're on the clock," Sam said impatiently. "Where could they have gone?" she asked worriedly.
"Hey," Sad Danny spoke meekly, gaining the attention of the others. "I think I know where they went."
"You do?" Jazz asked.
"Where?" Sam asked.
"I saw them looking at this." Sad Danny opened the newspaper stand and showed them the article.
Team Phantom went deadpan and said with expressionless tones in their voice. "Of course,"
A large crowd gathered at the metro station awaiting the opening. A large strip of red ribbon was placed at the doors of the station and Lance Thunder (Local TV Reporter) was getting his hair styled one last time before going on air.
"Should I change how I part my hair?" Lance asked the stylist.
Meanwhile, out of sight, Vlad Masters was straightening out his suit.
A brunette woman in a suit approached him. "It's time, mayor Masters." She said.
"Yes, yes, I'm ready," Vlad answered. "Where's my security?"
Just then two men in black suits, wearing earpieces, and dark sunglasses stepped up behind Vlad.
"Here we are, sir." said one with a smile on his face.
Vlad found this odd since he had never seen his guards smile before, but he'll just have to ignore that for now. At least the other one had a more collected if not serious expression. The two security men joined Vlad outside before the crowd but behind a stand. Vlad grabbed the giant ceremonial scissors and went to the ribbon. Vlad smiled and held up the scissors against the ribbon, getting ready to cut.
"As Mayor of Amity Park, I hear by declare this station op-"
BLAST
Before Vlad could finish a shot of green ecto energy came from the sky and snapped the ribbon in half. The two men held onto Vlad by his arms and pulled him away. Screams could be heard within the crowd of people and some ran in fear while others merely ducked.
"HEY MAYOR!" boomed a voice.
People turned their heads while Vlad, still held by the two men in suits, looked up and saw... a greenish Danny Phantom with a megaphone.
"Yeah, you, the cheesehead in the suit with the charm of a Kempler and the Perrie Edwards ponytail." Disgusted Danny said into the megaphone. "You cheated your way into the political office and are nothing but a seriously..."
With anger in his eyes, Vlad hissed under his breathe, "Don't say it."
"Crazed-up..."
"Don't-"
"FRUITLOOP!"
Lance Thunder's cameraman started captured the event on his camera. Then Lance himself stepped in. "We are at the opening ceremony for the Metro where Danny Phantom, now all in green, is lashing out against the mayor."
"Let go of me!" Vlad demanded. "What are you waiting for?"
The angry guard answered coldly. "This," and he pulled a taser, set it on high, and stabbed Vlad with it. The mayor screamed at the top of his lungs and within seconds, he passed out. The two guards soon fainted as well, Happy and Angry Danny phased into view, still holding up Vlad.
As Jazz drove her car with Sam, Tucker, and Fear Danny as passengers. While Sad Danny sat on the roof with the Ghost Catcher strapped down.
The bluish Danny heard the screams and sat up. "I know that sound." He said and flew.
Sam spotted Sad Danny flying ahead of them. "Where's he going?" she asked.
"Hopefully in the same direction." Jazz said.
"And hopefully the Dannys' haven't done anything bad yet." Tucker said. He pulled out his PTA and looked for the report channel.
"Did you find anything?" Sam asked. "Are they there? Are they in trouble?"
"This is Lance Thunder," said the reporter to the camera, "Three Danny Phantoms in primary colors have captured the mayor and are now holding him hostage."
Tucker's eyes widened. "Well... at least that confirms where they are." he said in a tense voice.
A passed-out Vlad was bound by the wrist to the top end of a tall flag pole with yellow ecto energy. Crowds below demanded the mayor's freedom but were silenced by Angry Danny's ecto blasts.
"Shut up, you ingrates!" Angry Danny shouted. He shot into the crowd but did not hit any citizens. But the people got the message anyway and dispersed.
The noise was enough to stir the elder half ghost awake.
Happy Danny was the first to notice. "Hey, Unckie Vlad." He greeted cheerfully.
Vlad blinked a few times before his vision cleared. "Daniel...?" he said. "Why are you yellow?"
"That's none of your business old man!" Angry Danny shouted. And he shot an ectoblast squarely at Vlad's chest.
The man shouted and groaned from the pain. He shook his head and glared at the reddish Danny. "You insolent brat." Black rings appeared around Vlad's waist.
"Ah ah ah Vladdie," Happy Danny chimed. Then he pointed at the news crew. "Secret Identity~. Remember?"
Vlad Masters saw the active cameras, "Fudge buckets," he cursed under his breath and the black rings disappear.
"Can't do much with all of Amity Park watching, can you," said Disgust Danny, "Mister Mayor?"
Though he would never admit it out loud, Vlad was actually worried. The man spotted the yellowish Danny floating above and then behind him.
Happy Danny strengthened the binds on Vlad with ecto energy and smiled. "This is going to be so much fun." He said.
Disgusted and Angry Danny readied themselves and blasted Vlad with ecto beams, making the man scream again.
"I won't lie to you, ladies and gentlemen," Lance Thunder said to the camera. "Things are looking grim for our mayor. Can anyone stop them?"
Just then Sad Danny came in flying from behind the two Dannys' shooting Vlad.
The bluish Danny sniffed as tears flowed from his eyes. "They're... hurting him." He sniffed.
Team Phantom finally caught up and were horrified by the sight.
"Stop!" Jazz cried out.
All the Dannys' turned their attention to the team below and temporarily ceased fire.
"Stop it!" Sam cried out. "You're better than this! I know you are!"
A loud horn erupted and then came a familiar family assault vehicle, correction RV. The Fenton parents bolted out of the vehicle with weapons. "Freeze!" They ordered together.
"Release my best friend slash duly elected mayor, you prismatic protoplasm punk!" Jack yelled. Then he smiled at his wife, "Thanks for writing the word prismatic on the sticky note, squeaky cheeks."
"Of course, honey," Maddie replied before ripping the sticky note off of Jack's ecto gun. "Wordplay is usually well appreciated."
But Angry Danny ignored his parents and went back to blasting Vlad with red ecto energy. Disgust soon joined in.
"This pleases me," Angry Danny grinning.
"Me too." Disgust Danny agreed.
Sam, Jazz, Tucker, and Fearful Danny watched helplessly and the felt the weight of dread and urgency over them.
"If Danny offs Vlad, he'll never forgive himself," Tucker said. "What do we do?"
"Vladdie!" Jack cried out.
Without waiting another minute, Mr. and Mrs. Fenton opened fire. But the shots were deflected against Sad Danny's ecto shield, protecting him and the other Danny's.
"Why do you keep doing this to me?" Sad Danny wailed. "You threaten me every day and yet you say you care about me all at the same time. You don't how much that hurts me and everyone else around you. It-... It all hurts so much!" and, after a deep breath, Sad Danny gave his parents the most sorrowful ghostly wail yet. Its waves were strong enough to send the Fenton ghost hunters flying.
When Fearful Danny saw what Sadness did, he jumped out of the car and flew to his parents, screaming,
"NOOOO!"
