Chapter 7: The gloves are OFF
"Bravo, Bravo Danny I was sure that you would make it but not this quite in this sort of fashion," Vlad said as he walked towards him. "Oh and before I forget…want to see your parents?" He said as he pushed a button on his remote that opened to reveal Jack, Maddie, Jazz and Tucker. "All you had to do was do one little thing and I would have

let her go but no, you had to choose option 'C'm" Vlad commented. "Your new friends, the pitiful demon, and the thief were bad influences but…"

"You would let them go?. I don't buy that," Red-X looked at Vlad skeptically.

"Alas, you knew that already. Also I want you all to see my new friend…His name is Gin," Vlad Introduced.

"The guy who took down the Captain of the Sixth Gotei 13," Gin told them all proudly.

"Too bad at the time he was protecting his sister and he still lives," Ichigo spat out.

"Damn, now I'm going to have to fight him now," Gin bemused as he stepped towards Ichigo. "Too bad you're not going to be there to stop me."

"My other ally is the newly empowered Dark Danny Phantom," Vlad introduced who was now an Arrancar.

"Nice to see all your faces and to see the demon down on the floor…the soul must have been wasted when he died," Dan said aloud as he walked in his white and black yutaka. Remnants of his mask were covering his red eyes. "Ember, nice to see you back here and siding with these guys. I'll take this time to do something I wanted to do for a very long time since I gotten back." He licked his lips with his reptilian tongue.

"You dare touch her you are going straight to Hell!" Oni cried out, struggling against his bonds.

"You're in bonds and you can't get out of much less the thief," Dan said as he pointed to Red-X. Red-X glared at the evil trio.

Vlad smiled, "And now to do what we were planning…The merging of a Hollow and a halfa."

"You self righteous monster! After all the things that Jack has done for you this is how you repay him?" Maddie questioned Vlad.

"Danny told you I guess, didn't he?" Vlad mused. "Too bad this ended this way Maddie, but I'm still thinking of you."

"STOW IT V-MAN! I'LL TEAR YOU LIMB FROM LIMB IF YOU DO THIS TO MY SON!" Jack yelled out with a blood thirsty glare.

"Jack, you were never in a position to do anything especially now," Vlad told him as he then selected a Hollow and put into Danny. He then had the Hollow lie next to Danny. "It's only going to hurt for a minute. After that, you will have such magnificent power, and without the weakness of your goodness to keep you back." Danny gave Vlad a glare.

That was when there was suddenly a beeping sound in the tune of the 'Magnificent 7' tone. "Antonitis Fenton McCrown, authorization of the Crest has been approved. Have a nice day," a voice came from the disembodied arm of the Resonik.

"Authorization…Undertaker theme," Resonik whispered so no one could hear as the lights went out except for a violet light that shone on Resonik.

The others and even the villains were confused to what was happening. Resonik sat up quickly without using his hand and got up to a standing position as the music continued playing. He soon walked over to his left arm, which was lying on the floor.

He said in a low voice, "Illusion end." The blood disappeared and he reattached his arm with a grotesque howl that rivaled that of a Hollow's. He looked up and gave then a grin that sent shivers down the spines of those around them.

"End theme," he then said before the music stopped and he reached inside his jacket to bring out a vial of green mixture. "You know, when I first arrived, I was expecting you to kill me. You know, go for the shot in the head or heart…Not the freaking take his arm off and let him bleed to death scenario, especially the left arm which has already been cut off more times than I care to remember," Resonik finished as he poured the mixture into his hands that began to glow green. "It has been cut off by my twin brothers, my rival and last but not least the head of organizations like you guys. Those were multiple times."

"Who are you?" The elder Halfa asked, quaking in fear.

"His teacher," Resonik said as he pulled the mask off to reveal the face of Peter Earp.

"MR. EARP?" The collective heroes confused and asked at the sometime.

"Yes and no…but before I say that…What's with the Scooby Doo Syndrome?" he asked as he the said into his arm, "2nd Illusion off."

His head shimmered and it was soon replaced by a twenty seven year old face with two bangs out stretched on either side of his head and a long brown corded hair. His eyes were ice blue.

"Now if you were still wondering…Peter Earp was only an alias I use when I'm on missions like this or giving advice to my younger self," the stranger said as he took out a small badge like object and placed it on his jacket and walked over to get his sword and gun, "Excuse me for a moment."

He jumped up, even without the mask, high enough to slash the net that held Red-X open and rushed to free the rest of the gang. This was all done so fast that he was like a blur. The guys were ready to pound in the enemies when the young man held out his arm to stop them.

"Wait," he said very tersely as he then looked towards the three in front of him, "Now I know what you're thinking: 'The fools don't remember but we took them down the last time'." He mocked them. "Well guess what? There is going to be a little change in that forecast. Danny…Ichigo come near me for a sec."

"What?" they both looked at him confused.

"Just do it," The man told both teens.

They walked next to him a little gingerly.

"Now focus a small amount of your energies into your left fist Danny and your right Ichigo."

The proceed to do as told…

"Now at the same time hit your fists together and say 'FUSION NOW'."

"FUSION NOW!" they both shouted as their energies clashed upon hitting their fists together. They get sucked into the ball of light and had found themselves changed. Out stepped a tall man. He had white boots but had some Shinigami uniform pants tied together with the white belt that had a black 'I' on the left and a 'P' both as phantom as the insignia of Danny's. He wore the same black sort of faux trench coat with tattered ends but on the shoulders was like the belt only they were white. Instead of bare hands he had black gloves that were a part of the trench coat. His skin was milky white, his eyes were brown and his hair was a mixture of red and white hair. He still wielded Tensa Zangetsu in his hand.

"Hello. My name is Ichigo Phantom; you almost killed my friend and almost put a Hollow in me. Prepare to pass on," he said with a grin that would give the Devil goose bumps.

"Now to reveal the true power of Red-X. Show them the power of a Zodiac Knight," He told Desmond as he reached into his jacket to get a belt that had a deck on it and threw it to Red-X.

"H-how?" Red-X stuttered as he took his belt.

"I'm a trained ninja as well some other things," the Stranger shrugged.

"You better spill after I'm finished."

"I will but you don't tell the others."

"HENSHIN!" Red-X cried out as he put his Zodiac Knight belt and deck on. "ZODIAC FORCE! SNAKE!" His armor came and attached onto his body. "Zodiac Knight Shadowcobra."

"HENSHIN!" The Stranger said as he tapped twice on his badge and raised his left hand into the air. "IGNITE THE NIGHT!"

The transformation started with black holes enveloping his arms and legs then the armor sprouted on with a reddish gold tinge. The boots were knee high and the gloves had three triangles. To his left of his hip was a katana that now had its hilt with a black grip and to the other a holster that housed his side arm. The belt had multiple shell pockets and pockets that held some other gear. A mythical lion pounced up from behind him and went through him as the lion's head became his chest armor connected to four bands meeting on his back and in the mouth an amber crystal sat in its mouth looking like an orb. Also on his back was a broad sword that had ornate hieroglyphics. On his right was a gauntlet with four long imprints. The other hand there was none as the arm was part of the armor it's self. The mask itself showed only the mouth but on the sides were two armored plates that were held by a metal strap much like a helmet that covered his head. It had two eye slits to tell where the eyes were and a diamond like shape on the top of the head that started a long to the base of the head that stopped at the corded part. "Voltron: Liemz. Let's get ready to Rumble."

The sides lined up and they began the last fight that night.

The Dance partners decided the battle was on.

Kyubi and Hitokiri vs. Ichigo Phantom-1

"Well nice to see you two. Let me show you what I can really do," Ichigo Phantom told them as he smiled again. Both Arrancars proceeded for the attack but didn't expect Ichigo to go airborne.

Ichigo sped up and went through the floor and quickly fired two ectobolts to each of them. He flew at them and slashed their heads off quickly and thus ending his fight.

"Way too damn easy." Ichigo smiled devilishly as both Arrancars were taken to Hell and went to free the others.


Vlad Plasmius vs. Shadowcobra-1

"My, my, aren't we confident?" Vlad told the Knight of Invisibility. "All you did was put on some armor, thief."

"That's where you've just doomed yourself. Did you really think that I was even fighting my best? I stalemated Battosai," Shadowcobra stated. He took up his scepter and slid down a card. "Trick Vent: Shadow Clones."

3 clones of Shadow appeared and surrounded Vlad. Vlad didn't care because he knew that he already had a solution to it. He quickly created duplicates of himself to confuse and overwhelm the Knigh

Shadowcobra however had a counter solution as he jumped up and bashed the real Vlad with a punch that was laced with his dark power. The Vlad duplicates disappeared.

"Nice try Vladdie," Shadow sneered before he dodged an ecto-blast from Vlad. And went to attack the evil halfa.


Battosai and Gin vs. Liemz-1

As in the other match, Liemz once more didn't seem too afraid of his opponents. Just a little more excited as he started bouncing off the walls as he started moving.

Battosai was getting worried and Gin was using shupo for all it was worth.

"Oh, come on, do you think that I'm not vulnerable running like this or how about I just stop in one place?" Liemz asked as he leaned against a wall. "I'll give you one shot before I defeat you Gin, and Battosai is just another soul dragged down to hell."

Battosai looked to his superior and looked at Gin and he was getting angry. This guy was now insulting the dead. Well it was corrupted in the first place but it was still disrespectful.

Battosai started his attack as he quickly closed in on the warrior. Liemz didn't show any emotion thanks to his mask as the sword came near. At the last minute he parried Battosai's attack with four claws that extended from the back of his hand. He then destroyed Battosai with a single slash. Battosai eyes widened at the warrior. With a flick of his right wrist, Liemz willed his gauntlet to unfold his blades and brought them out to fire a shot that soon sent Battosai to Hell.

"I love these lion claws…versatile and fun for the fights," Liemz told his opponent who was feeling a little shaky. Gin just saw someone took an Arrancar down and made it look ridiculously simple. This was no ordinary opponent that they were fighting…He was on an entire different level.

"Come on Gin. Or has the assassin found someone unkillable?" Liemz stated to the former captain. "Come, my blade wishes to meet yours."

"Shinosou, Ikorose!" (Devine Spear, Shoot for Death) Gin stated as he commanded his Shi Kai to kill Liemz, going full speed. He smirked and thumbed his hilt.

Liemz pulled his sword, which had Japanese characters of the list of warriors that wielded the sword before him and parried Shinosou before he jumping up and then yelled out his attack, "Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryū: Ryūshōsen Kaze (Dragon Rising Flash Wind)!"

Three things went through the mind of Gin Ichimaru:

How in Hell does he know Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryū?

Why is it that I see one blade but feel five blades cutting into me?

I'm reporting this to Aizen with my resignation.

Gin, like the coward he was, quickly exited the premises with his severe wounds.

"That takes care of the message. Now for taking down the monster that is a City buster threat."


Vlad Plasimus and Dark Danny vs. The Ghost Hunting party

To say that Vlad and Dark Danny were going down was pretty much a given now. The two evil ghosts were facing against an army of good guys

Liemz and Shadowcobra took point as they were the most powerful, aside from Ichigo Phantom who was in the same room.

"We suggest that you leave now Vlad and never come back to Amity Park unless it's for business or a threat that Danny needs to hear about, but as for you, Dark Danny…" Shadowcobra stated to the evil ghost as he left it to the Agent.

"…You are too dangerous to exist on this plane and I doubt there is a prison that could hold you for the rest of your afterlife. Therefore, it's with a heavy heart that I send you on to Hell and tell my good friend to put you near the ninth circle of Hell where you will be punished for betraying humanity," Liemz stated with no malice in his voice as he looked directly at Dark Danny knowing that it will be one hell of a fight and this was only a formality.

"Who is this friend of yours?" Vlad asked out of curiosity.

"One Kyosuke Dante, Soultaker. He has been waiting for Dark Danny ever since he heard from Clockwork," Liemz told them straight.

"Well then since that much is going to happen I guess that I need to have some even more power., Dark Danny said as he spoke into his sword. "Rise Alucard."

Energy exploded as shadows wrapped around Dark Danny. When the shadows subsided, he was now dressed in a trench coat that was pure black. His gloves were white and he wore a black fedora, which he tipped.

"Time to flee and fight another day," said Vlad in a sing song voice before he flew away while the others faced down the new creep.

"Would this be a problem Rukia?" Shadow asked her as she rubbed her wrists.

"It's no different from Ichigo's Ban Kai, I think," Rukia stated as she backed away, feeling the demonic aura.

"Stealing my shtick is he?" Ichigo growled.

"Uh Liemz?" Shadow asked as noticed that Liemz was gritting his teeth.

"This has gotten tougher than I thought," Liemz told Shadow with anger in his voice. "Do me a favor and spell Alucard backwards."

"D. R. A. C. U. L. A…..oh you have to be blooding joking!" Shadow then noticed as he backed away. "Guys, back off, this has become much worse than what we had expected.

"No kidding." Ichigo told Shadow.

"No he means that we are in for a long fight," Liemz told him before he held out his arms. "BUZZ SAW MODE!" The lion claws extended and spread apart in four points then they started spinning like buzz saws.

"Do you think that is going to matter now if you change the blades to do something else?" Dark Danny sneered.

"Of course not…It's going the make things a little more interesting but then again having," Liemz growled as he stood with his left arm up and away and his right down and forward.

Ichigo took hold of the left side of Liemz's back as Shadow took hold of the right.

"So you fools still want to face me?" Dark Danny laughed as he sent what looked to be a thousand black bats.

The group held together as they started fighting off the bats and dispelling them off.

It was by then that Shadow out of the corner of his eye saw that there was a fatal flaw in Dark Danny's Zanpakuto…

"Say I may have found a 'chink in his armor'. When its in use, it leaves the body and it certainly doesn't make the user invulnerable, just a little harder to kill,." Shadow informed the other two who were slashing the other bats.

"I'm seeing a few problems with this plan though," pointed out Liemz. "He's re-growing at will and to make things worse…They're after the others!"

"NOT ON MY WATCH!" Ichigo shouted as he phased into the floor and came out about five feet behind the rest of the gang before he inhaled then emitted a loud scream.

"Oh bugger," Shadow muttered as he drew a card from his deck. "Guard Vent: Cobra Shield!"

The shield went up and covered both Shadow and Liemz as he had already retracted his claws and started loading his side arm with some bullets and the Ghostly Wail firing and taking out all the bats before they reformed on Dark Danny.

Dark Danny was thrown back as he then flew back up and landed in front of them. Danny and Ichigo separated since the Ghostly Wail had exhausted them both.

"I'm not through yet," Dark Danny told them as he formed his Zanpakuto into what appeared to be a dog with many eyes and razor sharp teeth.

"Oh yes you are," Liemz said as he took aim with his gun. "DARKNESS: BLACK HOLE BULLET!" The gun fired a slow moving ball of black energy that stopped in front of the monster hound. The hound soon was in fear as it was sucked into the hole before it shot back at Liemz, who seemed to feel some of the recoiling pain afterward.

"YOU…" Dark Danny said as he flew towards the duo.

"Yeah me," Liemz said weakly as he drew up his gun again and fired twice at the monster. "ANGEL BULLETS!"

The monster was thrown back to the wall and paralyzed as Liemz and Shadowcobra readied their final attack.

Shadow slid the card into his scepter. "Final Vent."

Liemz cupped his hands to the lion mouth of the chest armor as he focused his energies.

Genosnaker slithered behind Shadowcbra and he jumped only to be propelled as he kicked down with his final attack

"GENOCIDE CRUSHER!"

The energies were full as Liemz finished powering up his attack and fired

"LIONHEART ROARING BLASTER!"

Shadow kicked at Dark Danny rapidly, pealing away whatever protection he had with his acidic and venomous kicks before Liemz's blast finished him off.

"NOOOOOOO!" Dark Danny screamed as he was then taken to Hell.

"It's over," Liemz told everyone as he dissolved his armor to what he was wearing previously. "Let's just get out of here and I'll explain everything to you and somewhat I'm going to break the rules."

They soon all got in the vehicles. Some of them were just too tired to fly or to do anything else at the moment. So they all went on for the long ride home to Amity Park with out any stops.

To fill in for the enjoyment of Desmond, Liemz told him from the beginning.

"You know I'm strong enough to destroy the Earth but I'm not authorized to go and use the power that I acquired after all these 13 years. It started when I was in my teens as I was waiting in July with my best friend Brad while we were skating…"

Liemz or should I say Antonitis 'Ant' Fenton McCrown, had a life akin to the opinion of Desmond…himself. He lost and loved, gained power, joined the dark side, but all it did was make him stronger.

Hell, he was even married for six years and after this year he was going to settle down and start a family this time. He lost someone dear to him as well and went to a side that was much like Yoshido's, but more relaxed and business like. It was there he had received the mask.

After a little bit he had returned to his friends but he was on watch as he understood why they didn't trust him like before. It took him several months to gain their trust back and soon the status quo returned with a few new bonuses.

He and his friends soon afterwards grew more powerful and they earned the right to actually come full circle with their lives. Ant had proposed and married to the girl he laid eyes on since he first met her during his first year and all his friends did as well as they were all living their lives better.

"So what was your mission here?" Desmond asked in the Taurus that had its hologram reinstated.

"I was to make first contact with a certain Goth kid who was to be facing off in what I like to call a 'Highlander-like Game'…someone who was destined to have an effect on the world," chuckled Ant as he kept his eyes on the road.

"'Highlander'?" Desmond asked with a confused look on his face.

"In another world, 'Immortals' fight each other in order to become 'The One', but this game of theirs raged on for centuries. Anyway, the man I was looking for was you and you were tested," Ant said with a smug smile. This came to as a shock to Desmond. "You have done well in testing Danny, who we rated a Street leveler, but I'm grateful that you tested yourself. That saves me the time to fight and test you myself," Ant told him with both eyes on the road as he then called out to Thantosos, "You drive now."

"What do you mean?" Desmond's eyes narrowed as Ant reclined in his seat.

"I mean that I didn't have to test you because how you fought and conversed with me last night. I find you acceptable to be a suitable liaison between the Dragon Force and Smart Brain…" Ant told him then muttered, "However, may I dislike the name of that company."

"What's wrong with the name?" Desmond asked him.

"Another Universe I bumped into had this company with the same name that was planning the extinction of the human race," Ant told him with a grim face.

"And I'm going to be a liaison between your group and mine?" Desmond questioned.

"That's up to you, but right now I want some sleep," Ant said as he closed his eyes to sleep.

"You better explain it tomorrow to me or else I'm going to say no," Desmond muttered.

"You really want to know don't you?" Ant gave a small smirk with one eye cracked open.

"Yes I do." Desmond told him.

"You are a Zodiac Knight and an operative of a company not to mention a part of the Deathtron Secret Police. You're also someone who needs to get out of a certain relationship."

"Alright, you made your point and what do you purpose to give me and Smart Brain?" Desmond asked him.

"One a communication device to call us when you need our brand of help, some defensive hardware and one holo-date to get you out of the problem you're in," Ant told him while leaning up and taking out a wrist device and a small device that had a small pad and a small vent. "Here you go," he told Desmond as he handed him the two items. "The holo-emitter is programmed to my specifications and don't worry too much about it. I may be, as you see me, insane but I do have a mind and you might be a little attracted by your date."

"Why do all this? Why contact me of all people? Why put up a façade?" Desmond asked him.

"I'm the guy on first contact duty. I'm to go in and meet the heroes and help them out while the others are setting up the foothold in the universe. When our cover is blown we kick the other guy's ass and then explain everything we know of the Dragon Force as we are allowed to say," Ant explained. "Listen, it's a long road so let's just get some sleep."
