Disclaimer I don't own Danny Phantom. This is just a story for fun.
Dan and Eyeuran arrived in the Ghost Zone. The two of them made their way to a floating island to rest. Dan used the Reality Gauntlet to repair his clothes and to heal himself a little.
"So Eyeuran what must I do to become the new Ghost King?" Asked Dan.
"You must defeat the previous Ghost King Pariah Dark and take the Crown of Fire and the Ring of Rage from him. Only then will you become the new Ghost King." Said Eyeuran.
"So I have to knock around old Pariah Dark. I always wanted to test my skills against him, but I never found the time." Said Dan as he cracked his knuckles.
"He will be a tough opponent, but I have great faith that you will defeat him." Said Eyeuran.
"Lets go I'm itching for some action." Said Dan.
The two ghost took off and headed towards the direction of Fright Knight's castle.
Back on Earth Danny had gathered his friends and family in the FentonWorks lab to explain everything about Dan and the Reality Gauntlet. Jack, Maddie, Valerie, and Dani took this in with shock in amazement.
"Ok, so let me get this straight. We are dealing with a evil twisted version of you from the future, who has both your and Vlad's ghost powers. You managed to beat him on some crazy adventure through and you made the choice that would prevent you from ever becoming him. But somehow he still exist despite the fact his timeline was erased." Said Valerie.
Danny nodded.
"Now this Dan guy is back and his welding a mystical artifact known as the Reality Gauntlet that gives him power over all reality. You said you destroyed it, but Dan went back in time and stole it?" Said Dani.
"Yes." Said Danny.
"Dude this just keeps getting worse and worse." Said Tucker before Sam elbowed him in the chest.
She walked over to Danny and put a hand on his shoulder Jazz joined in and put a comforting hand on his other shoulder.
"Ignore Tucker. Don't give up Danny you beat him once you can beat him again." Said Sam.
"Yeah, but last time he went easy on me because he needed me to be alive and I managed to surprise him with a new power. He exists out of time now, so he doesn't need me and he won't be taken surprise by the Ghostly Wail this time around." Said Danny.
"That may be true, but this time your not alone. You have us your friends and family to help fight him." Said Jazz.
"Yeah there ain't a ghost around that can take down the Fenton Family!" Declared Jack.
"If this so called future you thinks he can walk on in here and harm my kids his got another thing coming!" Declared Maddie.
"We'll show him a thing or two!" Cheered Dani.
"Got your back." Said Tucker.
"Count me in." Said Valerie.
"You see, you don't have to fight him alone. We're behind all the way." Said Sam.
Danny smiled at his friends and family they were right he wasn't alone this time around. They were what he was fighting for. With them behind him he would defeat Dan once and for all.
"Thanks everyone." Said Danny.
"Lets gear up! We have to prepare for a ghost attack!" Said Jack as he started handing out weapons from the armory.
Danny smiled and chuckled as he joined in.
In the Ghost Zone Dan and Eyeuran arrived at the Fright Knight's castle. A huge army of skeleton ghost surrounded them and Fright Knight appeared before them.
"Why does an Observant and a stranger intrude on my territory?" Demanded Fright Knight as he pointed his sword at the two intruders.
"I have come to see Pariah Dark to see if he is still worthy of his title and worthy of the Ring and the Crown. After all I'm the one that helped him rise to power." Said Eyeuran.
"I know precisely who you are. Why do you mean you want to see if Pariah Dark is still worthy of his title and the Ring and the Crown?" Said Fright Knight.
"We'll considering that with both the Ring and the crown he was beaten twice over the years. First by Clockwork and the ancients and then by the young ghost hero Danny Phantom. That simply will not do. I will give him one more shot to prove himself. I have chosen a ghost to succeed Pariah Dark." Said Eyeuran as he pointed at Da. "If Pariah Dark defeats the successor I have chosen he will keep his title the Ring and Crown."
"What's to simply keep me from destroying you both where you stand? I will not have Pariah Dark escape Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep. I refuse to work for someone like him!" Declared Fright Knight.
Dan stepped forward and pointed the Reality Gauntlet at Fright Knight.
"That's no way to talk to your master." Said Dan.
"Bold words, but your no master of mine." Said Fright Knight.
"Oh but I was and I will be again. Let me just refresh your memory." Said Dan as he used his telepathy and the Reality Gauntlet to flood Fright Knights heads with images and memories from the Fight Knight of Dan's timeline.
"Master?" Asked Fright Knight as he looked at Dan in confusion.
"Yes it is I." Said Dan with a smirk.
"Stand down everyone!" Ordered Fright Knight to his army.
The skeletons backed down as Fright Knight sheathed his sword and approached Dan and Eyeuran.
"Is it really you master?" Asked Fright Knight.
"Indeed it is now take me to the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep I need to see Pariah Dark he has something I want." Said Dan.
"If it's his title, Ring, and Crown you want. I can help you get the Crown." Said Fright Knight as he lead the way down to the lower levels of the castle.
The trio entered a room full of weapons and artifacts. On a pedestal was the Crown of Fire.
"Here is the Crown." Said Fright Knight.
"Oh now I remember. I blew the Crown off of Pariah Dark's head to weaken him and throw him back into the Sarcophagus." Said Dan as he walked over to examine the Crown.
"Yes that was quite a battle you had. It was Pariah Dark's second failure." Said Eyeuran.
"Pariah Dark still has the Ring of Rage with him." Said Fright Knight as he pointed to the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep.
"Lets wake him. I have a destiny to claim." Said Dan as he walked to the Sarcophagus.
The Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep was over ten feet tall. Dan walked up to it and undid the lock. The door slid open and Pariah Dark stood before the ghost asleep. In a sudden flash he was awake. He stomped out of the Sarcophagus and glared at the three ghost ready for battle. He study Dan for a moment.
"You resemble the last person, who managed to best me in combat. Who are you?" Demanded Pariah Dark.
"I am Dan Phantom. I am your successor and the future Ghost King." Said Dan.
"Ha! Truly you jest! You think you can succeed me!" Laughed Pariah Dark.
"I believe he can." Said Eyeuran.
Pariah Dark looked at the rogue Observant and recognized him.
"We'll if it isn't Eyeuran. Pry tell what this nonsense is about this young whelp being my successor." Said Pariah Dark.
"Dan is the a future version of the one known as Danny Phantom. The young ghost that defeated you last time. Dan's time no longer exists and he now exists out of time. He has tremendous power and he came close to wiping out all the humans from his timeline, but Danny Phantom and Clockwork interfered and he was latter imprisoned by Clockwork. I saw great potential in him, so I freed him and helped him beat Clockwork. I believe him to be worthy of becoming the new Ghost King." Said Eyeuran.
"You can not be serious. I am the Ghost King! What makes you think that this whelp is more worthy of my title and of my Crown and Ring?!" Bellowed Pariah Dark angrily.
"I am quite serious. Despite your powers and the power of the Ring and the Crown you have lost twice. First you lost to Clockwork and a bunch of other ancient ghost and were imprisoned and then you lost to Danny Phantom, who imprisoned you again. I think it's time for someone new Ghost King to rise up take control and destroy the humans." Said Eyeuran.
"You insolent worm! How dare you decide to choose a new Ghost King! Those fools only got lucky! That was the only reason they beat me!" Roared Pariah Dark as he clenched his massive fist and gritted his teeth.
Dan decided to step in.
"Alright Pariah Dark lets settle this. I challenge you to a one on one fight. No mystical artifacts. We will only use our natural powers. Whoever wins gets all the artifacts and the loser severs under the winner." Said Dan.
This seemed to calm Pariah Dark down.
"Alright I'll accept your challenge, but first what do you have to wager?" Said Pariah Dark.
"This." Said Dan as he took off the Reality Gauntlet and showed it to Pariah Dark.
The Ghost King studied the Gauntlet carefully.
"Is that the Reality Gauntlet?" He asked.
"Indeed it is." Said Dan.
"Alright I accept your challenge." Said Pariah Dark as he took of the Ring of Rage and handed it to Eyeuran, who had the Crown.
Dan handed the Reality Gauntlet to Eyeuran.
"Let us go find a battle ground worthy of your fight." Said Fright Knight as he lead the way out of the castle.
A few minutes latter the group found a large floating rock to do battle. The three mystical artifacts floated above the ground surrounded by a green energy field. Dan and Pariah Dark stood facing one another, with Eyeuran standing between them.
"Let the battle to decide the title of Ghost King commence!" Shouted Eyeuran as he waved his hands to start the battle.
"I will enjoy crushing you whelp!" Laughed Pariah Dark.
"No it will be me crushing you. Your an old relic, who I will be replacing, so enjoy your title, while you still have it." Said Dan with a smirk as he made four copies of himself and charged forward.
Two of the copies flew around Pariah Dark bombarded him with energy attacks. Pariah Dark roared angrily and pulled out his Mallet shooting off an energy attack and destroying the two copies. The other two copies charged forward and slammed into Pariah Dark knocking him into the air. The Ghost King regained control of his flight and hurled his Mallet at the two copies. The two copies dodged out of the way.
"Ha! It is pointless for you insects to try and avoid my attack!" Laughed Pariah Dark as he telekinetic power to smash his Mallet into the two copies from behind and destroy them!
Pariah Dark called his weapon towards himself, but a burst of white flames shot out from below and destroyed the weapon. Pariah Dark looked down and saw the real Dan grinning up at him. Pariah Dark was furious! Dan had managed to outthink him and destroy his weapon.
"You'll pay for that!" Bellowed Pariah Dark as he charged down at Dan swing his massive fist.
Dan dodged the swing and delivered an uppercut to Pariah Dark's face! The Ghost King quickly retaliated by grabbing Dan, lifting him up, and slamming him to the ground as hard as he could creating a dust cloud.
"Taste my boot insect!" Roared Pariah Dark as he slammed his foot down towards Dan's head!
Dan quickly rolled out of the way as Pariah Dark's boot slammed down creating cracks in the ground. Dan quickly fired an energy attack and hit Pariah Dark in the shoulder making the Ghost King stumble back in pain. Dan charged forward and delivered a couple of punches to Pariah Dark's body making him stumble back. Dan pressed forward, but Pariah Dark punched Dan back knocking him several yards away onto his back. Pariah Dark charged at a down Dan, who quickly got up. The two of them locked hands and pushed against one another. Both seemed evenly matched in strength despite their size difference.
"Give it up you can't beat me!" Laughed Pariah Dark.
"I'm not beaten yet. I still have a few tricks up my sleeve." Said Dan with a smirk as he pointed his head down at Pariah Dark.
The Ghost King looked confused. It appeared to be that Dan was giving up. Suddenly the living flames of Dan's head leaped up into Pariah Dark's face making him scream in pain and let go of Dan. As Pariah Dark grasped his wounded face Dan put his hands together and unleashed a powerful energy attack that slammed into Pariah Dark and knocked him off the island. Eyeuran and Fright Knight applauded. Dan took a bow and made his way towards the artifacts, when the whole island suddenly started shaking and full air became full of evil laughter.
"You think I'm beaten? Don't be absurd!" Laughed Pariah Dark as he reappeared and started growing until he was fifty feet tall. "Prepare o be squash!" He shouted as he put his hands together and fired a massive energy attack.
Dan managed to avoid the attack and flew up to attack Pariah Dark's face. The Ghost King swung at Dan with his fist. Dan just barely avoided the swings. Dan needed a plan to take down the giant Pariah Dark. He carefully examined his opponent, until his gaze landed on the giant's ears. That gave Dan a great idea. He created a copy of himself and he and the copy flew up to Pariah Dark's ears, while dodging the giant's swinging hands.
"Hold still you little bugs!" Bellowed Pariah Dark.
The two Dan reached the ears.
"Time for a little wake up call!" Declared Dan as he and the copy unleashed a Ghostly Wail right into Pariah Dark's ears!
Pariah Dark screamed as he grasped his ears in pain. Dan and thevcopy flew away. Dan created three more copies of himself. They all started to gather energy for a large energy attack. Pariah Dark was to busy grasping his ears to notice Dan and his copies gathering energy for a powerful attack. After a few minutes Dan had a giant green glowing energy sphere nearly as big as Pariah Dark's head. The copies vanished having given Dan their energy.
"Hey Pariah Dark here's a little retirement gift from me!" Laughed Dan as he hurled the energy bomb at Pariah Dark.
The Ghost King managed to catch a glimpse of the attack, before it slammed into him, with a tremendous explosion. A giant green mushroom cloud could be seen and heard throughout the Ghost Zone.
When the dust from the explosion cleared there was a large crater and in the center of the crater laid Pariah Dark, who was back to his normal size. The Ghost King's skin was blackened and charred, his armor was chipped and dented, his cape was reduced to a rag full of holes, and was he missing a chunk out of his other horn. Pariah Dark stumbled to his feet blood dripping from his mouth. Dan floated a few feet away from him grinning in triumph.
"It appears I win." Said Dan.
"NO! You have not! I will not lose to you!" Roared Pariah Dark as he raised his fist and staggered towards Dan.
"Oh I believe you have." Said Dan as he unleashed a Ghostly Wail that sent Pariah Dark flying several yards away before crashing into the ground.
"This is...impossible! I...can't be beaten!" Gasped Pariah Dark before he fell into unconsciousness.
"Hail the new Ghost KIng!" Shouted Fright Knight.
"We'll done sire. You really showed how worthy you are to become the new Ghost King." Said Eyeuran.
Dan smiled and turned to Fright Knight.
"Go take Pariah Dark to the castle and heal him up. I want him to be in good condition, when he serves under me." Said Dan.
"Right away sir." Said Fright Knight as he turned to deal with Pariah Dark.
"Now it is time to take my destiny." Said Dan as he approached the artifacts.
He put the Reality Gauntlet on first, then he put the Ring of Rage on, and lastly the Crown of Fire. Dan felt a huge surge of power take his body! Red lightning coursed around him as he gritted his teeth and clenched his fist. The surge of power seemed to last for hours, but in reality it was only a few seconds. As abruptly as it started it stopped. Eyeuran eyed Dan with amazement.
"How do you feel?" He asked.
"Like I'm INVINCIBLE!" Laughed Dan with excitement.
With a wave of the Reality Gauntlet he changed the color of the Ring to black and the color of the Crown to white.
"Come let us introduce the Ghost Zone to it's new master." Declared Dan.
Eyeuran nodded and they flew off back towards the castle.
"Just you wait, until you see me now Danny, you have absolutely no chance against me!" Thought Dan with mad excitement.
To be continued.
