Kordo had Desiree's arms pinned behind her back with a tight grip. He was slowly crushing her arms with every second that passed. Desiree felt like her arms were going to snap at any moment.

"Let. Go. Of. M-Me!" Desiree struggled to break free. After recovering from her shock, she went intangible and phased through Kordo's grasp.

Desiree dashed backwards once more. She rapidly fired Ecto Beams at Kordo, each blast flanking him from all sides. Kordo summunond a shield around him, which deflected all the blast back at her.

Desiree began to dodge the barrage of beams when Kordo dashed toward her. Kordo tried to slash her with his sword but Desiree ducked just in time, but not before Kordo kneed her in the stomach. He then elbowed her in the back of head, slamming her back toward the tiny island. Before Desiree could hit the ground, she went intangible, phasing through the island.

Kordo shot a beam from his mouth at the island, blowing it up in the process. Desiree turned invisible, but Kordo could still see her somehow. Kordo teleported in front of Desiree and punched her hard in face while she was still intangible. Clutching her face in pain, Kordo used the opportunity to deliver another blow to the side of her head. Upon impact, Desiree was slammed to the side of a nearby mountain. She tried to turn intangible again, but to no avail. Kordo disabled her power.

Kordo charged up a giant energy ball and threw it towards the mountain. Desiree managed to free herself before the ball hit. The mountain blew up in fiery blaze as Degree escaped the explosion.

Kordo flew towards her and fired energy blast at her. They all hit her and managed to stun her. Kordo flew right up to her face and slashed her right across her abdomen with his sword. Desiree grew her arm bigger and tried to slap Kordo away but he managed to stop the giant arm with his fist. He grabbed her now giant finger and tossed her high above him, then teloperted above her and bashed her face with hilt of his sword.

Kordo grabbed her before she could fall through the air faster. He proceed to punched her rapidly in face before Desiree blasted him in the eyes, blinding him for a few seconds. Desiree used the chance to free herself and flew over to giant rock. She hid behind the rock to try to compose herself.

"Just...just what is this guy? I've never seen anyone with this amount of power before" Desiree huffed. "I can barely feel my arm and my power feels like it was cut in half". She looked down at her abdomen and saw that it was gushing green blood. "Crap. I need to heal".

Desiree tried to heal herself but the rock behind her was blown up, knocking her forward. Kordo emerged from the dust behind her and started doing a strange hand motion. All of a sudden the the broken rocks around them darted toward Desiree and hit her repeatedly in the chest.

Desiree tried to block, but a larger rock hit her in the back of head, with another one hitting her in stomach right after. She then tried to move out of the way but a huge flash of light blinded her and stopped her in her tracks. Kordo dashed and grabbed her head, slamming her face into his knee.

Kordo grabbed her hair and lifted her up to look at him. At this point, Desiree looked like a mess. She had cuts and bruises all over her body and her face was full of bumps and scratches. She groaned out in pain as Kordo roughly pulled her hair. She tried to pound at his chest but every time she moved she felt more pain.

Kordo smiled at her pain "Stop resisting. I'll just make it worse". Desiree could barely lift head to look at him, so Kordo did it for her. "Look into my eyes bitch. Tell me, what do you see?".

Desiree tried to look away but Kordo summoned his sword again and held it toward her throat. "Look at me when I talk to you. Answer my question now bitch! HAHA!".

Desiree looked into Kordo's pitch black eyes and saw images of the Mortal Realm getting consumed by darkness. Violent visions of her past life flashed through her mind. Bloody images of bodies getting hanged, terrible wars and all out chaos appeared before her.

She felt like she was going insane. Kordo grabbed her by the neck and started to choke her.

"W-what do you want from me?" Desiree choked. Kordo tighten to grip on her neck.

"I want you power" Kordo said simply. "Your power to grant wishes...intrigues me…".

"W-hy? Why would you-" Before Desiree could finish she got a hard slap in the face.

"That's none of your concern, whore. You will benefit me. I don't need your consent. All I want is your power. It will be helpful for the ritual".

"Ritual?" Desiree thought. Kordo transformed his blade into a vase and held up toward her nose. As she sniffed to contents inside, she began to lose consciousness until…

"HEY JERKWARD!".

"What?" Kordo was suddenly blasted away from Desiree and was knocked a few feet back. Desiree was lifted up by a figure and was brought far away from Kordo.

She looked up at her savior and realized it was Ember. Ember had followed Desiree to her secluded to spot because she was worried and saw that Kordo had her by the neck.

"W-what are...you...doing here?" Desiree struggled to ask.

"I was worried about you so I followed you here and found that creep looking like he was to kidnap you" Ember explained.

Kordo recovered from his daze, enraged. He looked over and saw the blue haired girl carrying his prize.

"Yo jerk! What the hell do you think you're doing hurting my friend?! You creep!" Ember yelled.

Kordo glared hard at the girl and got into stance. Ember put Desiree down and gestured for her to escape. She complied darted away behind her. Kord gestured to Mal, who was out of Ember's sight, to follow Desiree.

"You're going to suffer from interrupting my fun time" Kordo growled. Ember fired blast from her guitar at Korido. He deflected the blast easily, but Ember quickly dashed toward him and blinded him with her flame hair. She used he flames to to enchant her fists and punched Kordo in the face, knocking him back.

Kordo summoned his sword and tried to stab her, but she used her guitar to block his attack. Ember used her guitar as a melee weapon and clashed with Kordo's sword. They rapidly hit at each other before Ember began to get overwhelmed by Kordo's slashing barrage. Ember teleported behind him and tried to punch him but Kordo ducked out the way. He quickly turned and the two began to rapidly throw punches at each other.

They both punched, dodged and blocked in rapid succession until Kordo teleported upside down above her. He tried to punch the top of her head, but she dodged and tried to jab at one of his eyes. Kordo blocked her attack then spun and kicked her in the back of the head.

Ember flew forward and threw her guitar at Kordo. He dodged out of the way but Ember used her guitar as a boomerang and hit Kordo in the back of his head, stunning him for a moment. The guitar returned Ember, and in one swift motion, she began playing. Giant soundwaves erupted from the guitar and hit Kordo.

"ARGHHHH!" Kordo screamed as he covered his ears and closed his eyes. Kordo was completely immobilized under to pressure of Ember soundwaves. Kordo open his eyes and grinned at Ember. Suddenly, Kordo summoned 9 clones of himself outside the soundwave. One of the clones tackled Ember, freeing Kordo from her trap. Ember killed the clone easily and quickly recomposed herself to fight off the 8 other clones that were dashing toward her.

The clones flanked her from all directions but she used her guitar and summoned a huge shockwave around her, blasting all the clones away from her. Kordo teleported behind her and grabbed both of her arms. Below them was another island so Kordo used the opportunity and dashed them both toward the island. Kordo flipped Ember over and body slammed her to the ground, face first.

Kordo grabbed her arms and pulled them while she was still on the ground.

"You know bitch? This actually pretty fun. If you were the same level of power I am, you could have been a good rival" Kordo chuckled.

Ember growled "What? So you've been holding back?".

"Yes. 95% of my power, exactly. You really caught me off guard bitch. You have some unique abilities and an okay amount of power. You'll be quite the treat".

Ember broke free of Kordo's grip and dashed away. She positioned herself far away, in preparation for Kordo's next attack. Kordo smiled and shook his head.

"I'm starting to get bored. I want that wish granting chick badly to continue my plans. So let's end this now!" Kordo lifted his hands and began to chant. "Lux aeterna, aeternum occursum tenebrae! Pulcherrima mei resurgent. Dici seducat bestia mi …".

The green glow of the Ghost Zone changed to a dark purple. A black portal appears above the two. A black, slimy creature emerges from it. The creature has 17 heads and 17 arms. The arms quickly grow and capture Ember. She struggles to break free of it's grasp but it's no use. The creature pulls her into the portal and it closes. 7 minutes later the portal reopened and tossed Ember back onto the island and closes once more.

Kordo floats over to the unmoving Ember lying on the ground. She's completely paralyzed. She's foaming at the mouth and her eyes are twitching. Her arms and legs have giant purple lumps all over them and she's breathing very slowly.

Kordo grins and brushes his hand over her face "You like what I just did? That little guy's name is Ogajurumphan. My pet". As Kordo exaimins Ember's body, Mal returns with Desiree. She's chained up with Mal carrying her. She takes a look at what happens and panics.

"What did you do to her?!" Desiree screams.

Kordo smirks, "I sent her to my realm. While only 7 minutes has passed out here for us, when she entered my realm, she experienced 4 days of nonstop physical and physiological touratue at the hands of my pet".

Desiree looks horrified as Kordo picks Ember up. Kordo's face takes on it's horrifying form and a terrible screech erupts from him. In few seconds, Ember is sucked into Kordo's body. Kordo's face transforms back and he burps "Delicious".

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?!"

"She's now apart or me. Her power is my power now. And boy dud it taste good. Best meal I've had in awhile".

"Y-you killed her…".

"No sweetie, you guys are already dead! She and Skulker are both alive and well inside me. Both of their minds are constantly tortured and their power is used to serve me. I they can't see, hear, or smell anything. But they can feel pain whenever I move. Eternal torture. Forever".

"Y-you're a complete m-monster!"

Kordo floats slower over to her "I am more than a monster. I. Am. EVERYTHING!". Kordo punches her in the face, knocking her out instantly.

He looks up at Mal "Let's get out of here. It won't take long for people to realize Skulker, Ember and Desiree are missing. I want to talk to you about your assignment once we get back. Kulder should be waiting for us, as well".

"Yes sir" Mal said. "I am ready for any objective you have for me". Kordo nodded and they all quickly disappeared from the area, leaving nothing but destruction in their wake.

Clockwork felt the strange energy again.

"This can't be a coincidence…"

o-o-o-o-o

Jake, Danny and their friends all made it out onto the football field and sat on the top of the bleachers. The kids began pouring outside as the Football players and Cheerleaders were getting ready.

"Oh man look at all those cheerleaders" Spud said.

"I know. Perfect specimens right?" Tucker asked.

"Absolutely. I wanna get all up in their pom-poms".

"Yes!"

Trixie and Sam both rolled their eyes at their friends behavior.

"Men" they both said.

As Spud and Tucker were ogling at the cheerleaders, Danny and Jack struck up a conversation.

"So I heard that you guys will all be staying at Hotels. Did you see them yet?" Jake asked.

"Not yet. After the game were all going to go over there" Danny replied.

"Getting all those buses through New York traffic is going to be a nightmare".

"Don't remind me. Just getting here was bad enough".

The two boys sat awkwardly for a minute before continuing to speak.

"So...you like video games?" Jake asked.

"Oh yeah. I'm more of a computer gamer, but play consoles too" Danny replied.

They sat awkwardly again for a few more minutes.

"...so, uh, you like space?" Danny asked.

"Yeah" Jake replied.

More awkward silence.

Before either him could speak again, an obnoxious guy started yelling about how great he was.

"Oh yeah! The Bradster is gonna show these Casper chumps who's boss" Brad Morton said as he emerged to greet his fellow football players.

"Ugh. Brad" Jake groaned.

"Lemme guess. He's an annoying, egotistical Jock, Right?" Danny asked.

"Yep. He's not a HUGE jerk, he has his moments. But that ego man. Dude, the guy was held back twice, he's almost 20 and still hasn't changed since elementary school".

"I get it man, I do. Dash is basically the same way. I remember one time he failed English. MIDDLE SCHOOL English. I mean, how do you do that?"

More and more kids began to surround them in the bleachers. In front of Danny and Jake sat a purple haired kid his oranged haired friend. They began talking.

"So how the juice did they let you off the the hook" Randy asked his friend.

"It was the craziest thing. Apparently my Uncle and the Vice principal of this school went to college together!" Howard explained. "He basically gave me a speech about how Ninja stars are dangerous and I how I should be smarter next time. He let me off scott free!".

"That's so bruce man! So did you hear about the fight that happened?".

"There was a fight?!".

"Yeah, apparently Bash and some dude from Casper High were brawling outside the auditorium. I didn't see because I was inside".

"Oooh I hope Bash got his face bashed in! Get it? Bashed in".

The two friends laughed before Howard accidently hit Danny on the knee with his arm.

"Ow man. Watch it!" Danny clutched his knee.

"Oh cheese. Sorry man" Howard apologized.

"It's cool man. It's cool".

"Hey I heard you two talking about the fight earlier" Jake began "You know one of the guys".

"Oh yeah Bash. He one of bullies at our school. He's such shoob" Randy replied. "Did you guys see the fight? Please tell me that Bash lost".

"Unfortunately the staff broke up the fight. So it a draw" Danny replied.

"Aw man. That is so wonk!".

"But they both did get messed up pretty badly".

"Now that is honkin bruce!".

Both Danny and Jake stared at Randy weirdly before Howard stepped in "Yeah. In Norrisville we use different slang. Bruce means cool. Honkin means very, and so on."

"Um, alright?" Danny said.

Howard whispered in Danny's ear "Pfft. These shoobs don't get our superior lingo".

Jak crossed his arms "You do realize we can hear you right?".

"Oh".

"Yeah…".

The four boys just sat awkwardly (they're not good with convo's) for a few more minutes until Howard broke the silence one more "You dudes like Grave Puncher?".

Danny and Jake lit up.

"Dude Grave Puncher is my life" Danny said.

"I just beat Grave Puncher Platinum last week!" Jake exclaimed.

Spud and Tucker got into the conversation as well.

"We talking about Grave Puncher?" They both said.

"You guys play too?" Howard asked.

"YES! Man, you guys getting the new one?!" Spud asked excited.

"Absolutely dude! Grave Puncher Gold is gonna be the brucest game of the year!" Randy exclaimed.

"Did you guys see that new trailer?! Where the one guy does a body slam off a building!" Tucker yelled.

Jake perked up "Oh my gosh, yes. That was insane. Then there was that part where the hero fights that giant zombie thing with buildings sticking out of it's back. That was rad".

"Don't forget the new features!" Danny reminded. "You're gonna be able to to rip zombies arms off and use them as weapons!".

The 7 talked about the game for several minutes until the announcer got on the microphone. At this point everyone was outside ready for the game. It Casper vs Millard, and the Casper team was freaking out due to Dash, their quarterback, being sent to the detention office.

The announcer was Heidi Weinerman and she got to the microphone ecstatic. "Hello students from Casper, Millard, and Norrisville High. My name is Heidi and I'm the official announcer for the Cheerleading Competition! Every 4 years our schools come together, in an act of friendship and unity, to create an exciting experience that everyone can enjoy!"

"Woah that chick is pretty hot" Spud said.

"I know" Tucker agreed.

Howard looked at the two, annoyed "That's my sister….".

"Oh" they both said.

Heidi was frantically flipping through her cards, quickly forgetting what she was supposed to say. "Umm...oh yeah. The staff at Millard apologies for the rather, bad auditorium experience…."

The students in the bleaches all groaned loudly at the experience.

"...But! We will put that stuff behind us, because for the next two week our cheerleading girls, and some boys, will compete in a friendly competition that will...uh…" Heidi flipped through her cards again. "...Bring unity among our schools. So before we do all that, let's give it up to our football players to kick off these events with a nice game off...football. Enjoy!".

The crowd clapped their hands and cheered as the teams from Millard and Casper all ran out to the field to begin the game.

"Huh. Didn't expect people to get so excited" Trixe said, suprised.

"Nobody's excited really. But a lot of people placed bets on the winners,so people are just anticipating the money they might get" Sam explained.

"Now THAT makes more sense".

o-o-o-o-o

Flying high above New York City was the infamous Vlad Plasmius. Vlad had been instructed by Kordo to cause fear in order to fill the jar and that's exactly what he's going to do.

Kordo had given Vlad three little cubes that were supposed to cause as chaos if they were thrown into a crowd. Vlad figured that New York would be the perfect place to test out his cubes. It was one of the most densely populated cities on the planet after all. So it made sense why he chose it.

Vlad contemplated on his options to launch his attack. Times Square? Yankee Stadium? Liberty Island? Some busy intersection? The possibilities are endless!

Vlad searched and searched until he stumbled upon a High School Football game.

"Hmm...Millard High. A decent amount of people there. It's packed with young people, so they scare easily. Plus their parents will be panicking, staff too. It'll certainly end up on the news making parents and kids all over the country afraid. I think I've found the perfect spot!

Vlad turned invisible and slowly flew down to the school.

A cold, blue mist escaped Danny mouth. Sam and Tucker looked at him. Danny gestured to them that trouble was coming.

The Nomicon began to glow, alerting Randy and Howard.

Jake's advanced hearing hearing a faint ghostly like whisper coming from above them. He looked up and saw nothing.

Vlad floated right above the bleachers and dropped one of cubes onto the ground right in front of them. As soon as cube hit the ground, it morphed into a giant grey blob monster with a huge mouth with 10 rows of razor sharp teeth and big muscly arms with 4 legs.

The monster let out a huge roar and within seconds kids started to run away screaming.

"Uh oh!" Danny said as he ran off the bleachers. The monster took the bleachers and ripped it into two. The monster began pounding on the ground and started throwing balls of dirt at anyone trying escape.

Jake, Spud, and Trixie ran off to the side of school.

"Yo Jake do something!" Trixie yelled.

"I can't! There are still tons of people around. I can't let them know Dragons exist!" Jake yelled back.

"Listen dude, I know your Dragon Council buds limit what you can do but...we live in a world where people know a Ninja and Ghosts exist!" Spud said.

Jake was conflicted on what to do until suddenly he heard…

"Alright bring it on you gray...blob...thing!"

The trio looked back at football field to see Danny Phantom fighting the monster while getting cheered on by the other students. Danny charged at the monster but it dodged out of the way. Danny turned around a launch rapid energy attacks at the masters back, angering it.

"Oh dang! What's he doing here?" Spud asked.

"How am I supposed to know?" Jake said, not taking his eyes off the action.

Danny shot an ecto blast at the monster but it was having no effect. He then tried using his enhanced strength to slam monster into the ground. He was successful and managed to make to monster fall, however, the monster immediately got back up and took a swing a Danny, with him turning intangible just in time to phase through the attack.

Danny flew high above the monster and it stretched itself to reach him. The monster grabbed Danny by leg and slammed him back down to the ground. The monster formed a giant fist and right before it had a chance to crush Danny…

"Ninja-Monster-Slice-Move!"

The Norrisville Ninja appears out of nowhere and slices the monster arm off. The arm falls to the ground a disintegrates, enraging the monster.

The Ninja lands on the ground next to Danny.

"What's up" Randy greets.

"Uh...hello." Danny replies

The crowd watching starts freaking out

"Oh my god. The ghost kid and the Ninja are both here. Oh my god.

"I can't believe this is happening! Is this really happening?!".

A kid sips a soda "Cool".

The crowd started cheering them both on as the monster starts to get more and more enraged.

Danny gets up and prepares to fight the monster again but Randy stops him.

"Don't worry bro. I got this!" Randy says with confidence.

"I was handling it just fine" Danny said annoyed that he was stopped.

"Oh really? That's not what I saw".

"I just haven't figured out my strategy yet!"

"Uh-huh".

"Cut me a break I just started fighting a few minutes ago!"

"I'm just messing with ya man! Now let's-" Before Randy could finish, the Monster used it's other arm and tried to smash the two heroes. Randy dodged of the way while Danny phased through the attack.

"Ninja Smoke Bomb!" Randy threw a smoke bomb at the monster's head, blinding it. He climbed on the back of the monster and wrapped his chain sickle around its neck. Randy jumped from the monsters back onto the ground and while using the chain, he pulled the monster to the ground. He shoved the sickle into the ground, keeping the monster in place.

Randy backflipped onto monsters chest then used his nunchucks to repeatedly bash the monsters face. While Randy was beating the monsters face, it spawned 7 little creatures from its stomach to attack Randy.

"Look out!" before Danny couldn't go deal with the creatures, Randy spun around and killed them all with his ninja stars. The monster quickly got back up and once it was standing, Randy used the chain still around its neck to swing to its other arm. Randy chopped it off with no difficulty.

The monster tried to body slam its side in an attempt to crush Randy, but he managed to jump over the other side just in time. With Monster now completely immobilized on the ground, Randy jumped on its chest and began cutting away at the chest until it revealed a glowing heart.

Randy was about to stab until his feet were grabbed. The monster had grew an extra pair of arms from its stomach. The monster began flailing Randy around while he stabbing the hands that grabbed him.

"A. Little. Help. Pease?" Randy asked Danny while he was getting flailed around.

Danny dashed to help Ranny shooting both of arms in the process. The arms immediately disintegrated, freeing Randy. The monster resealed its chest but it was still slightly exposed. Danny shot a more powerful blast at the chest area, exposing the heart once more. Before Danny could deliver the death blow, Randy jumped up high and impaled the heart with his sword.

The monster grew 5 more arms in a desperate attempt to stop Randy but it was to late. The Heart started to violently shake and bubble. Using his enhanced strength Randy tied his scarf around the monster neck, spinned the monster around and threw it high into the air where it exploded into goo chunks that burned away when Randy did his hand signs.

"NINJA! NINJA! NINJA! NINJA! NINJA!" the crowd cheered. The crowd surrounded Randy asking him for autographs and pictures. Randy happily obliged and signed people's yearbooks and took selfies with people.

Meanwhile Danny was standing by himself in the back. While some people did ask him for pictures and autographs it wasn't many and those who did usually came after getting the Ninja's or used him as a sort of consolation when they couldn't get the Ninja through the large crowd.

Danny sighed and flew away. Randy noticed this and chased after him, leaving his fans in the dust.

Randy was running along rooftops until he saw Danny on one of them. He jumped behind him and greeted.

"Bro! That was so bruce! We kicked that thing's butt!" Randy exclaimed.

Danny looked at the Ninja, dejected "You mean you kicked that things butt".

"What're you talking about? Without you we wouldn't have been able to defeat that thing!".

"Ninja, I got my ass handed to me by that thing. I barely did anything during that fight while you basically fought it all by yourself".

"Well that's just a case of bad luck. Like you said before, if you had a strategy, you could have beaten it".

"Did you have a strategy?"

"I...well..uh...um...no, I didn't. But that was just a case of good luck! I could've gotten slaughtered".

"Yeah" Danny turned back around and stared at the city streets below. Randy could tell that he was feeling down about everything that happened so he tried to change the subject.

"So what do you think that thing was?" Randy asked.

"Huh" Danny said.

"That thing we fought. I've never seen anything like it before. It probably wasn't some mutant creation considering the only person capable of doing that is in jail. And it definitely wasn't a person who stanked. Was it a ghost?".

Danny thought about it for a sec "My ghost sense did go off right before it appeared. So it's possible. I've never seen a ghost like that before though. It didn't look like it was made of ectoplasm of any kind, and definitely wasn't a dead person. This is weird".

"I honestly don't know" Danny respond.

"Eh, may have been some weird McFist creation that escaped or something" Randy said.

"Wait. McFist. As in Hannibal McFist. The same one who runs McFist Industries. The company who makes EVERYTHING. He makes mutants?".

"Eh, he probably does. He created all those robots to try to kill me. Glad the jerk's in prison".

"He's not in prison".

"Yeah he is. My friend told me".

"He just made an announcement speech today though" Danny gave Randy his phone and showed him that McFist held a conference this morning.

"Huh" Randy says surprised. "Guess my friend just got his information messed up".

"Right"...

The two stood on the building for a good two minutes until Randy asked "Can I have your autograph?".

"What?".

"Could I please have your autograph".

"You want my autograph".

"Yes".

"Why?".

"Because you're so bruce!" Randy yelled like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Danny looked at him, stunned "You think...I'm cool…that's what bruce means, right?".

"TOTALLY! I mean...you're a ghost! A ghost superhero! Tell me that's not the brucest thing you've ever heard!".

"Oh. Thanks" Danny smiled. "I'm honored"

Randy pulled out a comic book and pen and gave them to Danny "Make sure it's nice and bold!".

Danny laughed and signed his name, almost writing Fenton before catching himself and quickly writing Phantom. He gave the comic book back to Randy.

"AW SWEET! Thanks man. My friend is gonna be so jealous!".

"No problem Ninja".

Randy shoved the comic book back into his suit and turned around. He gave Danny a thumbs up before jumping off the building.

"SEE YA LATER!" Randy yelled as he fell of the building.

Danny stood there in silence for a moment, processing what just happened.

"So I have another hero as a fan. Neat" Danny flew off the building back to the school.

Watching him from the distance was Vlad. He looked at the jar to see that it had a little bit of power in it, and was steadily growing. He flew away in order to plan his next move.
