Chapter 2: The Nightmares

The first thing the group noticed was that it was pitch black

"Okay" Tucker said. "We should first watch the nightmares to see what we're up against. Then during the next round we'll stop them."

"Right" everyone agreed

The scene formed to reveal a lab. Dani was shown tied to a vertical table as she was melting into ectoplasm goo. Vlad Plasmius was fighting Valerie and Danny Phantom was trying to free the ghost girl

"There's only one other choice" Dream Danny said "Feeling brave?"

"A little weak in the knees. And I don't even HAVE knees!" Dream Dani said

Dream Danny sprayed something on the girl, but whatever it was didn't work

"Hang in there. Don't give up on me Dani."

"I'm sorry Danny" Dream Dani said as she was nothing more than her hands, neck, and head. "I lo…"

"DANI!" Dream Danny shouted "I…I failed"

The viewers all turned to the real Danielle who looked like she wanted nothing more than to tell Danny right then and there that this was only a nightmare

The scene changed to a church. All of Amity was in the audience with a veiled bride and Dash as the groom. Danny Phantom was being held back by Spectra and Ember

"You knew this day would come" Dream Spectra whispered to Dream Danny

"Don't do it! Please…don't…" Dream Danny tried to shout to the bride.

Dream Dash lifted the veil. Both Tucker and Jazz moved fast to keep Sam from acting too early as the bride was revealed to be Sam Manson

"Sam! Please…" Dream Danny tried to call out but was ignored "I love you"

Sam stopped fighting Jazz, Tucker, and the urge to vomit as she heard those three little words she had always dreamed of Danny saying to her.

"I think she'll be fine" Jazz whispered as she felt Sam's mouth drop a bit and curve into a smile

The scene changed again. This time was in the Fenton Works Lab

"What are we doing here?" Jack asked

"Mom. Dad."

Everyone turned and saw a Dream Jack, a Dream Maddie, and a Dream Danny Fenton

"Why is this one of Phantom's nightmares?" Maddie asked

"Judging by his shouts these past few hours…I'm not sure I want to watch" Jazz whispered

"Remember the accident?" Dream Danny asked

"Yes" the dream Parents answered

"It…I lied. It DID do something to me. I'm going ghost"

Then, to both Jack and Maddie's shock, Danny Fenton turned into Danny Phantom

"Danny's the ghost boy?" the real Maddie gasped

"I'm still the same Danny" Dream Danny told his parents

"No son of mine is a ghost!" Dream Jack said

The Real Jack started to say something but Dani flew up and placed a hand on his shoulder as Maddie could only watch in horror as she watched herself and a dream version of her husband gang up on their son who was DESPERATELY trying to convince them that he was the same Danny they loved for 15 year now

Just before things got too gruesome, the scene changed

"Why didn't he tell us?" Jack asked

"Did you not see what just happened?" Jazz asked before semi-recognizing the scene that was shown. However, to her, this was one of her own nightmares

Dream Jazz, Tucker, Sam, Jack, Maddie, and Lancer were tied to an 'about to blow' Nasty Sauce boiler while Dream Danny Phantom was fighting with what looked like an evil older version of himself

"You can't escape destiny Danny. I AM your future!" Dream Dark Danny said

"No. I promised. I'm not you!" Dream Danny argued

Dark Danny then shot an ectoblast at the boiler and it promptly exploded

"MOM! DAD! JAZZ! TUCKER! SAM!... LANCER! NOOOO!" Dream Danny screamed as his evil self laughed evilly
