Ch. 4: Get Ready To Battle!
Skulker's Island
Skultech reappeared back at Skulker's lair, and Skulker was furious.
"TECHNUS! Do you realize what you've done? I was this close to finally claiming his pelt." shouted Skulker.
Technus replied "I had to. That game console would have been destroyed."
"YOU WERE WORRIED ABOUT A VIDEO GAME!"
"AH ah ah, not just any game. I downloaded some of the material from it nd have found a way to use it to our advantage."
"How?"
"OBSERVE!"
He beamed a bright light fron his monitor and out came a cute creature similar to the one that attacked Danny. "You wanted me to see a hologram?" asks Skulker.
"Watch and be amazed!" shouts Technus. "Moshi-mon, attack that chair." The creature turned at a chair and sprang at it, tearing it to pieces.
"HEY! That was my favorite chair."
"Don't you see? I have just created a loyal minion that will obey us forever."
"And why didn't you just show me this when I was attacking Phantom?"
"Because I wasn't able to download all of it. I only managed to get a couple of the monsters. See?" He beams out 5 more monsters, each with big cute eyes, and colorful fur.
"That is tempting, but I want them to be terrifying, not cute."
"They won't be so cute once they evolve."
"Evolve?"
Technus demonstrated by making the dragon-like Moshi-Mon destroy the fish-like one. The dragon creature grew bigger, sharper talons, big wings, and a more menacing look.
"Alright, how do we get them all to do that?" Skulker asks.
"If I can download the rest of the material into your suit, I can an entire army of digital monsters whenever I want!" said Technus. Ten, they notice one of the cute ones nuzzling Skultech. "I'll need to look up the manual for raising on of these." said Technus.
Skulker blasts the cute one and said "No more cute! Just find out more moves they can do. The more advanced, the better." The rest of them disappeared as Skulker eyed the empty spot on his wall, imagining Danny soon being on it.
Fenton Household
Danny felt bad for Danielle. Jack was really hard on her for going to the convention without his pemission. His mom explained that his Dad was just mad that she wanted to go to a convention than stay home with him. Danny knew that Jack was just jealous because he though that Danielle wanted to be with Danny. To Jack, ghost hunting was the best thing he could do, and Danny was outdoing him. Little did Danny know of the real terror.
Danielle was in her room shuffling through a deck of Moshi-mon cards. Jazz entered the room and saw her with the cards.
"Hey Dani. Are those Moshi-mon cards?" Jazz asked.
"Uh, maybe?" she said.
"You don't have to be embarassed. Danny used to play that before he realized people laughed at him."
"Let's just cut to the chase. Am I in trouble?"
"Well my Dad says you are, but he always gets that way when someone doesn't like ghost hunting with him. He did the same thing to me and Danny when we were little."
"So, I can't go back to the convention tomorrow?"
"That's what my Dad said. He'll probably set up the security system to make sure you don't leave. He only lets a few people know the code. So you're basically stu-" Jazz said. She started to worry when she saw Dani smile slyly. "Why are you smiling?"
Then, Dani tried to overshadow Jazz, but ended up being thrown out. Jazz smiled proudly as she revealed the Fenton Anti-Ghost Belt she was wearing. "Did you really think that you could overshadow the daughter of two psycho ghost hunters and a halfa's sister and expect to get away with it?" Jazz asked.
"Kinda." replied Dani.
"Well forget it. Danny already explained that you're his clone, so that means I know all of your tricks."
"That doesn't mean I have my own tricks." That's when Dani pulled out her most powerful, secret weapon: she pulls out the puppy dog eyes. Jazz tried to fight it, but Danielle looked so cute.
"Ugh, er ALRIGHT! Enough with the cutesy face." Dani stopped and exhaled.
"Trust me, that hurt me more than it hurt you."
Jazz left the room, not telling Dani that she would have turned off the security system any way.
Anime-Convention Center
Danielle used her ghost powers to sneak into the center and add her name to the roster. She anxiously awaited for the tournament to start. She was worried that her cards weren't good. She saw how everyone else had rare, collectible cards while she only had beginners. Suddenly, she felt some tap her shoulder.
"Excuse me, would you like some cards?" asked someone. Danielle turned to see a buge, muscle-bound man with long, blonde hair, shorts, sandals, and t-shirt with an image of a computer screen on it. Danielle felt like the screen was following her.
"What did you say?" she asked.
"I said did you want some cards. You look like a nob, I mean noob, so I thought it would be a wicked if I gave you something to help you." said the man. Danielle accepted the cards and couldn't believe her eyes. The cards were extremely rare and pwerful, some even looked brand new.
"Wow! Thanks Mister- Hey where'd he go?" The mysterious stranger disappeared. The mysterious stranger was still there, just invisible. And Skultech in disquise. And smiling as he watched Danielle took the same cards he had. Or at least, the programmable ones that could change into any card with just a thought. Technus' thought, no less. I think I'll just move on now.
Fenton Household
The next morning, Danny was asleep on the computer. He spent the whole night trying to find more videos of the Skultech fight yesterday. Mainly, to see if Technus got his hands on anything dangerous or if anyone saw Danielle change from ghost to human. If anyone got footage of that, the Guys in White would be all over her. Or worse, Danny's parents.
RIIIIIIIING!
Danny woke up to the sound of the phone ringing. He answered and said "Hello?"
"Hey man. It's about time you woke up." said Tucker. "I found what you were looking for. I just sent you an email with the details."
"Thanks Tuck." Danny hung up and checked his email. The night before, he asked Tucker to look up what those creatures that attacked him were. They looked very familiar. He clicked the link and discovered what those creatures were. They were Moshi-mon. Exclusive ones that were to be released on the H.O.G.I.
Danny looked at the clock on the computer and saw it was 11:42 AM. Danny had a hunch where those two were going to be.
"Tucker! Call Sam. We're heading back to the Anime-Con." said Danny.
He hoped that he would get there in time.
Anime Convention Center
Dani couldn't believe her luck. Her cards were the best in the tournament. All she did was lie a card down and in just seconds it beat her opponent's card.
Dani and couldn't believe it, but Skultech could. Technus already planned this out. Phase one, give Danielle the cards. Phase two, use same cards. Phase 3, meet ghost girl in final battle. Phase 4, download remaining monsters. Phase 5, take over the world.
Skultech pulled a wire from his "pocket" and slipped it into the H.O.G.I. Then the two watched as the H.O.G.I. turn on and buzz to life. Two Moshi-mon appeared and the game started.
Danny zoomed through the convention center to where the Moshi-Mon tournament was being held. He phased through the walls just as the final round was about to start. Danny gaped as he saw Dani and some guy who looked like he was on steroids playing in the arena.
"I summon PineTul!" said Skultech in disguise. A cactus like creature appeared and struck a battle pose. "Use thorn blast!" The thing obeyed and shot a dozen small thorns at Dani's creature. Most dealt damage while the others that missed hit the wall behind, sticking to it firmly. Everyone was too surprised by that realistic move to not notice the surge of electricity from the stranger's pocket.
Even without noticing the chord sticking out of the mystery man's pocket, Danny knew that it was Skultech. No nerd could be that big and like playing Moshi-mon. He had an idea how he could prove it.
Danny phased out of the wall and turned on the Fenton Phones. "Hey Tuck, you there?" he asked.
Tucker replied "Yeah man, I'm already here. What do you need?"
Danny asked "Do you think you can hack into the H.O.G.I.?"
Tucker said "Are you nuts? That's like brand new tech! I can't just hack into it."
"You're joking right?"
"Yeah I'm just messing with you. Hold on. Got it. What do you need me to do?" Danny told him what to do and waited for Skultech to get shorted out.
Dani was about to play her next move with she noticed something. All of her Moshi-mon got switched with a water Moshi-mon that looked like a seal but with blue and white fur, and the only commands she could use were "splash".
She just shrugged her shoulders and said "Alright, uh do splash attack." Her Moshim-mon obeyed and sent a wave of water at the other Moshi-Mon. Although it didn't do much to the Moshi-mon, it doused Skultech and shorted out his camoflauge software.
His disguise faded and everyone saw Skultech's real form. Skulker shook the water off and elled "You couldn't make a simple WATER-PROOF CAMOFLAUGE UNIT!"
"Can't you just be happy for what I do make? All I her is "Technus, this is busted." and "Technus you idiot." Would hurt to give me a compliment? Besides, we don't need it any more. I just finished downloading. WE'RE IN FULL CONTROL BABY!" said Technus.
Skulker smiled as he heard that. "Well then what are you waiting for?"
"An apology!"
"WHAT!"
"Saaaay it. Say you're sorry."
"Are you joking?"
"Nope. Not when I'm the only thing that can create your army."
"*Grumble* I'm sorry. NOW GET ON WITH IT!"
Technus obeyed and started making Skulker's army of Moshi-Mon. The H.O.G.I. shined brightly, and the two Moshi-Mon that SKultech and Dani saterted to move on their own and leaped from the projector. Skulker's Moshi-Mon growled at the crowd and shot more thorns at the crowd. Dani's Moshi-mon whimpered and ran away. Dani agreed with her Moshi-mon and followed it.
Then, more creatures came from the projector. There were monsters that looked like dogs, cats, bugs, fish, crabs, dinosaurs, and even robots. All with different colors and different elemental attacks. Danny watched in awe as the last one came out. Skultech had an army of nearly a 150 Moshi-mon.
"Moshimon, ATTTAAAAAACK!" ordered Technus. They obeyed and focused all their attacks on the crowd. Just as the crowd was about to be hit, Danny swooped down and cast a huge force field. Danny was concentrating all his will power on this shield, bigger than any of his other shields. He told everyone "GO! Get out of here!". Everyone did what they were told and ran out through the exit.
Danny saw that his force field was shrinking and everything was getting fuzzy, so he dove to the side and watched his shield disappear.
Even he couldn't believe what he did. He had never cast something that big before and from the way he was panting switching between human and ghost form, there was a reason why. He saw while catching his breath the Moshi-mon follow the people and he knew that everyone was in dnager. He struggled to get up, only to see Skultech towering over him.
"Need a breather?" Technus teased.
"No. How about a pop quiz?" mocked Skulker. Danny tried to swing a punch at him, but Skulker caught Danny's fist and started to crush it. "GAAAAAAAAAHHH!" Danny yelled. Skulker grinned at Danny's pain. "Now class, we're going to learn about Danny Phantom." Skulker threw Danny straight at the wall.
WHAM!
Danny fell to the floor instantly, moaning weakly. Skulker floated to him, continuing his lecture like the one Danny did a few days ago. "Danny Phantom: The youngest, most annoying halfa in the Ghost Zone and Earth, and also known as Danny Phantom. Easy to describe by his snow white and glowing green eyes-" He then pulled Danny up by grabbing his hair. "-Not to mention a tacky black and white jump suit with a "D" on it, unfunny jokes, and inability to avoid lasers."
Skulker demonstrated that last comment by throwing Danny into the air, and blasting him three times as if he were a tin can. Danny got hit three times and didn't even have enough energy to fly and just fell to the ground.
Skulker continued by saying "Attacks: cliche ecto blasts from the palm, flimsy punches and kicks, using technology that he borrows from his parents, ice powers, and a scream that knocks himself out." He then punches Danny in the gut and sends hm flying into the bleachers.
"Interesting fact:He knows how to take a punch." Skulker then threw Danny threw the wall and made him land back in the center of the convention center. Danny managed to get up, but by the time he could get up, he looked and saw he was human again. He didn't have the strength to turn back, but he was too concerned about the chaos around him. Everywhere, the Moshi-mon wer chasing after innocent people, forcing some to hide in fear.
He hid under one of the tables and waited for his wounds to heal. He couldn't help but wonder where Sam and Tucker. Or worse, Danielle.
Meanwhile...
"AAAAAAAHHHH!". Dani was trying to run from some Moshi-mon that were chasing after her. It was hard enough carrying a backpack with Moshi-mon cards, a DS, and other junk she got at the convention. She wanted to go ghost and stop them, but her blasts didn't do anything. She also didn't want to get her secret exposed.
She hid behind one of the booths and tried to catch her breath. She was surprised that Danny had to deal with this stuff all the time.
Then, she froze. She tried not to move as she saw the water Moshi-Mon that she used in the battle. She hoped that it would leave, but instead it just creapt closer. She had never been this terrified in her life.
"Ni-ni-ni-nice Mishi-mon. Please don't eat me." she begged. It got close enough to bite her so she decided to close her eyes and hope for the best.
Then, the next thing took her by surprise. The Moshi-mon started to nuzzle her, like a cat. She looked at it in confusion and the Moshi-mon just stared at her like a cute puppy. She thought to herslef "Why isn't it attacing me? Why isn't it attacking me like all of other Moshi-Mon Skultech-THAT'S IT!" That's when Dani realized something. All the Moshi-mon that attacked her were Skultech's Moshi-Mon. This one wasn't attacking because it was her Moshi-Mon.
She heard a rumbling noise. Apparently, her Moshi-mon's tomach was growling. She didn't no what to do. Then she remembered that in the Moshi-mon game on her DS, part of owning a Moshi-mon was taking care of it; which includes feeding it. She turned it on and selected her inventory. She noticed that when she put her DS near her Moshi-mon it got some sort of connection with it. She chose to feed it some Moshi chow and pressed "okay".
The Moshi-Mon, or as it was called in the game Aquine. Dani's frown disappeared when she saw a fire Moshi-mon come in, growling at her and Aquine. It posed to attack, but Aquine got ready as well. The two froze there and Dani was completely confused. "Aquine do something. Bite it, scratch, kill it, splash it do something!" Immediately hearing that, Aquine splashed the fire Moshi-Mon and put out it's fire. The Fire Moshi-Mon scratched Aquine. Dani looked at her DS and saw the two fighting on there as well. She realized that they were following the game rules and would follow her command, just like in the game.
"Okay Aquine, do another spash!" Dani told Aquine. It obeyed and splashed the fire Moshi-Mon again. Dani saw on the screen that it was down to almost nothing. Then she got an idea. She selected a Moshi-ord and tried to capture it. She waited a second and was successful. Both right in fron of her and on the DS, the fire Pokemon got captured. The one in front of her just stared and did nothing.
It was creepy and depressing. It looked like Skultech was working his Moshi-mon like a drill sergeant. She wanted to help, but with all the other Moshi-mon attacking, she couldn't do much. However, she did save her game near a Moshi-mon store. She continued playing and decided to get some grooming tools and came up with an idea to stop Skultech.
Outside of the convention, Jack and Maddie were trying to bust into the convention. They saw on the news again that a ghost was attacking the convention again and were ready to fight. They just weren't prepared for Technus sticking the doors shut with ectoplasm and didn't have the legal power to blow a hole into the wall. Jack was persistently trying to open the doors with a blowtorch.
He opened his mask and said "There, I finished." Maddie and inspected and said "Honey, you just welded the doors shut." He face plams himselfand goes into the Fenton RV to blow off some steam.
Meanwhile, Sam and Tucker were hiding behind a food stand from the Moshi-mon. Tucker was enjoying the free food while Sam just acted like her gllomy self.
"*Groan* Can't you do something like give them a virus or something." Sam asked.
"Sorry, no can do. Technus has a anti-virus thing in Skulker's armor and plus, I don't have any virsus on me." he replied while sinking his teeth into a hamburger. Sam was disgusted by that.
BOOM! CRASH! BLAM!
The two were startled by the noises and wondered what was going on. They peered up from the stand and saw Dani in her ghost forms, standing proudly as her new Moshi-mon defeated the bad Moshi-mon that weregoing to get Sam and Tucker.
She turned around and said "Hey guys."
"Uh hey to yourself. How'd you beat them?" aksed Tucker.
"Oh, you know. A splash here, a firette move there, the usual."
"Wait, you got them to fight for you?"
"Duh. Now, do you have any cheat codes for like infinite Moshi-orbs or infinite Moshi food?"
"For the new game or last years?"
"New one. And give it fast. I want a rematch with Skultech."
20 minutes later after Dani found Tucker and Sam, Skultech had found Danny and continued pummeling him. Danny crashed into a booth and groaned in pain. Skultech had already blasted him, punched him, made 5 different Moshi-mon attack him, and even wedgied him. Except for the Moshi-mon, it was freshman year all over again. Skulker picked him up and finished his mock lecture by saying. "So what to do? Mount him on a wall and claim him as a trophy."
Technus was just about finish to finish him off when suddenly, they heard something.
"HEY! Leave him alone!" They turned to see Dani all alone in her ghost form.
"Danielle? What are you doing here?" asked Danny woozily.
"What does it look like, I'm saving your butt." she remarked.
Skulker grinned evilly and threw Danny to the side. "Sorry, but his butt is already reserved as my trophy."
"We'll see whose butt is going to be a trophy and whose isn't."
"Can we stop talking about butts now?" asked Technus.
"Gladly." Skulker fired a glob of ectoplasm at Dani and managed to get her legs. Dani tried to break free, but couldn't it was like being trapped in tar.
Skultech floated over to her and asked "Any last words?"
She smiled and said "Yes, Aquine. SPLASH ATTACK!" Suddenly, Skulktech was splashed by a huge wave of water. Skulker rubbed his eyes and wiped the water off Technus' screen to see that behind Dani was Skultech's army now working for her.
"MY ARMY! Why aren't they attacking you?" Skulker yelled.
"Because they're my army now. Or at least, the half that wasn't beaten and dissolved to nothing." Everyone watched as the Moshi-mon growled at Skultech.
"What are you?" yelled Technus.
"I'm Dani Phantom. And you're about to pay. NOW ATTACK!"
Skultech flew away as fast as they could, but they weren't fast enough. Pretty soon, half of Skultech's army was attacking Skulker and Technus, chewing them up like a chew toy. The people watching left because of the gruesome violence.
"AAAAAGGHH! OUCH! Nice fire Moshi- OWOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" screamed Sulker.
"GAHHH! NO NOT THERE! AAAAAAHHHHH! NO! That's not a FIRE HYDRAAAANNNTT!" screamed Technus.
The ectoplasm dissolved and Dani ran over to Danny while the Moshi-mon continued to tear Skultech to shreds. She helped him up and get balanced. "*Moan* Huh, wow, nice work." Danny said complimenting her plan.
"Thanks. You think we should help?" asked Dani. Skultech was still being attacked by the Moshi-mon.
"Nah, he's okay." said Danny. "How'd you even do this?"
"NOT MY FACE! IT's SO GROOOVVYYY!" screamed Technus.
"Well Skulker used his army by stealing all the Moshi-mon from the H.O.G.I. and addding them to his arsenal. So I just recaptured them with the Moshim-mon you gave me." she explained.
"How'd you know I gave you that Moshi-mon."
"Duh, you used Tucker. It's not that hard to figure out."
"HEY!" shouted Tucker. Tucker and Sam ran over to them. "What's that suppose to mean?"
"Oh nothing." said Dani.
"Is he okay?" asked Sam.
"I'm fine." said Danny.
"No, I mean him." Sam said pointing to Skultech,.
"NOOOO! NOT MY ANTI-VIRUS PROGRAM!" yelled Technus. A huge metal piece landed near the 4 kids.
"Hey, I think I can hack into Skultech's system." said Tucker. He pulled out his PDA and with a couple of taps, all of the Moshi-mon disappeared, leaving Skultech scratched, torn, and with an arm missing.
"Is he gonna be okay?" asked Dani.
"Meh. They always find a way to come back." said Danny.
"Yeah, we should probably go before we get blamed for this." said Sam.
They all started to leave when suddenly...
"EEEEEK!" Dani shrieked. The three turned to see Dani being dragged by Skultech's remaining arm. The ghost managed to get up and pull Dani back to them. Dani could tell by their scowls and angry panting, they were furious.
"Nobody. Humiliates. Skulker." Skulker grunted as he could barely contain her anger. "Especially not an tiny, abnoxious, little HALFA!" A surge of electricity went up his arm and electrocuted Dani again like before.
"DANI!" shouted Danny.
"AAAAHHHHHH!" she screamed in pain. They watched in horror as she screamed in pain. She couldn't help herself and changed back into her human form, but Sultech continued electrocuting her.
"Consider yourself my new number 1 target, you worm." said Skulker.
Dani was just about pass out from the pain when she heard something.
"LEAVE OUR NIECE ALONE!"
Out of nowhere, an ecto blast was shot and blew Skultech's arm off. Everyone turned to see the enraged Jack and Maddie, with a whole arsenal of weapons at their hands. Including the Jack o' Nine tails and the Fenton Anti-Creep Stick.
Danny quickly grabbed Dani and let his parents pass.
"Oh, I'm going to enjoy this." said Maddie.
"You messed with the wrong family of ghost hunters." Jack said.
"Uh-oh." said Technus.
"For the love of Pariah Dark, bring back the Moshi-mon!" begged Skulker.
Danny just ignored him and let his parents do there job. Though he knew just as well that the only thing worse than an army of Moshi-mon is the wrath of Jack and Maddie Fenton.
One long violent, very impressionable, not very kids under 13 battle later.
By the time Jack and Maddie were finished, Skultech was literally in pieces. Jack unscrewed the head off personally and sucked Skulker into the Fenton thermos.
"That'll teach him to mess with the Fenton's." said Jack.
"Dad, did you just suck Skulker in using what I taught you a couple days ago." asked Danny.
"Uh no."
Danny gave him a "really?" look.
"Okay fine. I guess your teaching isn't that bad."
"Thanks, but I'd rather let you do the teaching. Too much work."
"Yes, and speaking of teaching." Jack looked at Dani.
"Um, am I in trouble?" asked Dani.
"You mean for hacking into my security defense, running off to a convention where you were nearly killed by a ghost!" asked Maddie.
"Um yes." she said.
"Heck no!" said Jack
"Come again?"
"If anything I'm proud. You risked your life just to go chase after a ghost. Sounds to me like a future ghost hunter." He gave he a big hug.
"As heartwarming as that was, Tucker, any idea how we can get Technus out of Skulker's armor. She looked and saw Tucker submitting a video of the fight on Youtube. "TUCKER!"
"GAH! I admit to nothing!" he yellled frantically. He dropped his PDA and Danny picked this up.
"Wait a minute, these are the videos that were on the news. TUCKER!" yelled Danny.
"Um, hey guys look something on Danielle's PDA!" stalled Tucker. Dani looked to see Technus on there.
"Oh great. Now what?" asked Dani. She looked it over and it showed that Technus was a playable character. "Dani, I think I know how we can get him out of Skulker's armor.
One idea later...
After hooking up Skulker's armor with the H.O.G.I., Tucker selected Technus and hoped Dani's plan would work. From the projector, Technus got beamed out, back into his original ghost form.
"YES! I, TECHNUS, AM FINALLY-"
"Going back to the Ghost Zone." said Danny, as he uncapped the Fenton Thermos and sucked him.
"AHHHHH!" Technus screamed. Danny recapped the thermos and put it away.
"Well, it looks like all's well that end's-" said Danny.
"Not so fast." Jack interrupted. "Check this out!" Jack was looking at Tucker's videos and was watching his newest video: the one of Dani leading an army to defeat Skultech.
"Danielle, did you know anything about this?" asked Maddie.
"Uhhh, no."
"Well you know what I think." said Jack.
"Um, what?" asked Dani nervously.
"We got a ghost girl in Amity Park. Maybe if you're lucky you'll catch he."
"Yeah, uh maybe."
As they headed to the car, the two halfas shared worried glances.
Meanwhile, in the Fenton Thermos, Skulker changed. He had been embarassed by a child. He decided that he would spend less time on Danny Phantom. Now his new priority, was Dani Phantom. No one embarrassed Skulker and live to tell the tale.
End of Ch. 4
The End
I hope you enjoyed this and I'm sorry this took so long. I'll be focusing on my other story TDU before I do more Danny Phantom. Please review and stay tuned because my next story is called "Natural Disasters" (Title not official) with my brand new villain. I also want your opinion on my new female, weather OC villain. Should it be Mother Nature or The Weather Gale.
