Author's Note: Again no new reviews, shame, but on with the show.
The third of the three Underworld Alliance armies under the control of one Lord Charles Pain marched through the ruined streets the City of Megaville, being supported a trio of Halfas. "I'm loving this!" One Dan Phantom stated, as he blasted a group of monsters with mismatched body parts with a large ecto ray attack.
"Phantom do you know what these things are!?" Vlad Plasmius asked while he and a army of his clones possessed the bodies of several of the creatures and used them to attack the other monsters.
"Chimeria maybe? But something seems to be off about them." Danny stated, having transformed his mechanical arm into a large great sword that he was now using to slash at the enemy creatures.
"Off how!? I mean look at them!" Plasmius exclaimed pointing with both hands down at the creatures that they were fighting.
If they were to try and name one characteristic that they all had in common it would be that they all had absolutely nothing in common. There was creatures that stood on 1 limb, two, three, four and more! Some of them had eyes ranging from covering the entire body to none at all! Many one set, two sets, threes sets of wings or none at all! And the differences didn't even stop there. There was no other way of describing them other than a army of monsters with nothing in common.
"I can't quite place it, something about them sets off my ghost sense, but it's so weak that I've only barely noticed it. And yet they're strong enough to stand up to our attacks." Danny stated, pointing over to Dan who was blasting a stream of ecto down upon the heads of their opponents, however they were also quickly getting back up again.
"Any idea of what these things are Phantom?" Plasmius asked while he held off a group of the enemy creatures with the ones that he had already possessed.
"I have an idea, but I'll need a few minuets to confirm, and if I can confirm it then I have something that I can use to beat them." Danny stated while he skewered a spider like creature and slung both it and the blade over his shoulder like a bag on a stick. "For that I will need you two to cover me for a bit while I go and investigate this matter." Not waiting for a reply from his two makeshift comrades Danny took off back to one of the Reaper Units. "Excuse me but what can you tell me about..."
"They're all Ghouls." The reaper replied cutting off Danny in a instant.
"Are you sure?" Danny asked, while he blasted the Ghoul he had brought with him to examine off of his sword, now that he no longer had a use for it.
"There's thousands of these things roaming the Ash Lands surrounding the Castle and our chief job to eliminate as many of them as possible but they just keep coming back! So yes, I know what a ghoul looks like." The Reaper explained seriously while he used his scythe to hack off the arms, legs and heads of a ghoul that had attacked him. "Now do you mind? I'm kind of busy here."
"Sorry to disturb you." With that Danny put his sword back into his shoulder socket and pushed a button on it. The button made a elevator tube appear from a ghost portal that he then entered and disappeared through. Using the Elevator Danny arrived inside of a laboratory complex where he brought up a Holographic desplay. "Tucker, I'm uploading a DNA sample I took from an enemy combatant, analyze it and get back to me once you have the results." Danny stated as he moved a file marked with a DNA Helix from his arm into the computer.
"It shall be done sir. Is there anything else that you want me to do?" The AI's disembodied voice asked.
"Have the prototype Separator prepped in five minuets." Danny stated closing the hologram.
"Sir the preparation procedure takes seven minuets." The Tucker AI replied back in a casual tone of voice.
"Then skip the spinning rims we're on the clock!" Danny barked impatiently.
Thus approximately five minuets later Danny returned through the elevator, wielding with one hand a oversized bazooka type weapon that looked like it was attached directly to his mechanical arm. Danny took the position of the cannoneer in the no man's land between his allies and his enemies and began to charge his weapon.
"Vlad! Dan! And all other relevant ecto related parties!" Both Vlad and Dan looked down at Danny whose weapon now had a green glow coming out of the barrel. "Fair warning!" Was all the warning that Danny's allies had before he fired a gigantic wide spread energy wave that seemed to force the ecto out of the bodies of the Ghouls as they passed through it.
The Reapers and their Jiang-shi got out of the way easily on account of the Reaper portals, while Dan was already air born and thus out of range of the attack anyway, while the Vlad's abandoned their hosts and fled underground. Once all of the Ghouls had the ecto forced out of them their empty lifeless husks fell to the ground while what remained of their souls floated into the air. Not one to let up a assault when the going gets good Danny then sucked up all of the formless souls into the Fenton thermos in his arm. "OI!" Dan landed on the ground with a crash and picked Danny up by his collar.
"What's the big idea!?"
"Firstly, remove your hand!" Danny ordered as he activated some sort of Taser function on his arm that he used to forcibly remove Dan's hand from around his throat. "Secondly, we needed to get rid of those things. If you're upset about losing the practice dummies then you should go over there." Danny growled pointing over to another group of ghouls that was approaching them from down the street.
"Just don't ruin them this time!" Was all that Dan said before he inhaled and fired a Ghostly Wail attack at the enemy forces, pushing them all to the far end of the road, and followed up by forming a huge ball of ecto and hurled it over to the ghouls blowing them to pieces in the process.
"You're one to talk. Ghouls are created when Reapers don't reap people when their time has come right?" Danny asked looking at Lord Pain.
"I believe so. So if you're wondering what reaper is in charge of this place then I believe it consists of scavengers and exiles, forced by stronger Reapers to pick off the left overs in this god forsaken place." Lord Pain stated indicating the entire city with both of his hands.
"Could that be why the 'Fairies' set up their base of operations in this city?" Danny asked looking down the street at the mass of mutilated ghoul body parts.
"This doesn't look like the work of a scavenger, this looks like the work of a madman." Lord Pain stated, looking around the ruined city.
"Agreed. We need to find out who's doing this, and put a end to it." Danny stated before he flew into the air, surveying the ruined battle field a spotting a unfamiliar looking Tower untouched by time nor the elements. "Over there, that building wasn't here before, and it looks new. That's where they've made their base!"
Every one followed the direction that Danny was pointing to, and observed several large buildings in the way.
"Fortunately, we have Reapers. Everyone get ready to..."
"SCREW THAT!" Interrupting Lord Pain's commands Dan wound up another huge ecto attack between his hands and fired it directly at the buildings carving a path of destruction out of the city straight to Fairy Tale's front door.
"That'll work too." A stunned Pain responded bluntly.
While Dan redecorated the landscape Junior was sitting on top of a sky scraper and observed the smoke from the path of destruction Dan carved through the city.
"Glad to see someone's following my orders." Junior stated with a tad bit of annoyance in his voice.
"You want the city destroyed?" Deshiko, Junior's young aid, asked looking confused.
"The city was already destroyed, we're just clearing out the rubble and forcing the rats to scurry out of their holes." Junior stated as he got up off of the side of the building.
"Perhaps we should move on with the campaign then? By the looks of things everyone else is too." Deshiko stated, pointing out their own army, as well as Chi's and Hell Boys armies all of whom were marching towards Fairy Tale's base of operations.
"Agreed, get the horse ready." Junior walked over to his steed and began the process to get it ready to fly off.
Meanwhile across the city within the citadel of the Fairy Tale headquarters the white haired leader was having a meeting with one Django Dead, a reaper in her employ who on a related matter was also soaking dripping wet from the top of his sombrero to the toes of his boots.
"I told you that relying on those morons wasn't going to get us anywhere Gyokuro! Junior is in an entirely different league from them!" Django ranted in a rage filled state.
"And I told you that we cannot hope to over power him, the only way to defeat the Demon Reaper is to out smart him by targeting his weaknesses! I assumed that you would have been able to do that by now considering all of your speeches about how much of a 'brain dead idiot' he is." Gyokuro replied sounding increasingly annoyed with Django.
"Oh really, then what did you hoped to accomplish by sending to the bottom of the stupid ocean to get this idiot!?" Django growled pulling a long yellow spear shaped Devil Arm from a Reaper portal.
"After all the trouble we went through powering up Raika and Kuyo it would just be shameful to let them sink to the bottom of the ocean. Aside from that we don't have any real plans for our Raikou friend." Gyokuro stated, smirking when she saw the enraged and frustrated Django.
"Are you telling me, that you sent me into the heart of that death trap of a castle, to the very bottom of the ocean where I nearly got crushed by the water pressure, just to pick up a few wall HANGERS!?" Django asked, his rage having officially boiled over to the point that he could no longer contain it.
"ENOUGH BOTH OF YOU!" Suddenly both individuals turned their attention to a man standing in the doorway of the room, he had black hair, slicked back, and wore a business suit and held a cane between his hands. "Django. My apologies for how my second in command has been treating you, you've been a vital part to many of our strategies and you deserve better treatment then what we have been giving you. If you want, there are some towels and fresh clothes awaiting you in your room, and once you are refreshed we we can discuss our plans to eliminate the Reaper." The black haired man stated, indicating the door with a set of vampiric eyes.
"I'm fine." A light dusting of ecto energy later and Django was perfectly dried off. "Now perhaps you'd like to discuss with me what you were planning to discuss without me!?"
"Now now Django, what kind of partners would we be without trust? That said as you are already dried off then perhaps we should discuss the plan to put down the Grim Reaper once and for all?" The apparently true leader of Fairy Tale asked as he cocked a single brow.
