Danny and Vlad looked at Nadera in complete shock. They were her father and brother? What did that mean for the two of them? Not to mention if they were related why had she kidnapped them?

"You must be mistaken. There's no way I'm related to you. I'm single!" Vlad stressed tugging unconsciously on the handcuffs.

"Yeah and incase you haven't noticed we're human," Danny added.

"Your halfas, ghost hybrids. Not pure humans or pure ghost, but something in between. Your ghost halves were my father, Lord Vladimir Plasmius and my twin brother, Daniel Phantom from so long ago. By ghost laws any ghost reborn to human hosts are still related to their ghost family. Besides, had I been reborn I would have been given to Jazz because of her relation to you two. I would have still be your sister and thanks to that alternate timeline you forced Clockwork to create I would have been Vlad's stepdaughter because your mother was married to Vlad so there," Nadera said pointly.

"You have to admit as disturbing as it is she has a point," Vlad said.

"Shut up would you. Your not helping our case one bit with your smart aleckly talk. By the way how do you even know about that incident? What's your deal with Clockwork and how does it fit in with your story?" Danny questioned eager to figure out the rest of this crazy mess.

"Why wouldn't I know what goes on with Clockwork? We've been at odds with each other for six hundred years. He knew I survived the attack on the castle and didn't bother to come looking for me. I was left to fend for myself with only a horde of zombie ghosts to assist me. He has to suffer as much as you two and your ghost sides as well. So I've made it my business these past centuries to keep tabs on him. That's how I got the tablet with the prophecy and know about your little adventure in time and about Dan Phantom while others don't," Nadera replied harshly.

Danny gasped in horror on hearing that name and took a step back. He didn't ever want to think about Dan Phantom ever again. What he represented was too horrible for thought.

Vlad looked at the teenager in confusion. This wasn't the usual self-confident kid he was use to dealing with. He seemed scared to death. "Daniel, who in the world is Dan Phantom?"

"Oh you don't know? How quaint I guess even my brother has things to hide from our dear father. Not surprising when you see the kind of monster you two created. Even I wasn't suicidal enough to want this guy as an ally. He would have destroyed me," Nadera replied coyly. She waved a hand over the basin and chanted softly. Instantly images from "The Ultimate Enemy" began to play in right before their eyes. What he saw horrified even him.

Danny looked at the past memories and hated himself even more. How could such an evil being exist? But what surprised him was when he saw the scene where Nadera saved the thermos containing the monster from opening up. That confused him as well as her reasons for letting Clockwork go and giving him the Crown of Fire and Ring of Rage. What was her deal? He asked her to explain.

"I'm surprised Vlad, sorry I mean father, hasn't figured it out yet from his little memory flash. Clockwork is special to me because he's dad's younger brother and our uncle! Why do you think he was Lord Plasmius key adviser and entrusted with the duty of guarding the canisters of ectoplasm? The Observants came to him to help them whenever a problem came up with the three of us because he knew how to handle it. But no longer, now he will pay along with the four of you and mother for the pain you caused me!"

"Nadera I can honestly say we have no idea what your talking about and even if we did why should we have to pay for what happen to you six hundred years ago?" Vlad argued angrily while glaring at her.

"I really don't think that was such a good idea," Danny muttered.

"How easy it is for you to stand there like nothing ever happened. Your so self-rightness it's sickening! You want to know the truth about my past? About your own past life? You want to hear your other halves try to defend themselves? Then lets see them face the truth shall we?" Nadera snarled using her pendent to remove the gags from Plasmius and Phantom's mouths. The two ghosts were still unconscious from the pain caused by the inscriptions, but Nadera was ready to continue without them.

Using her basin she brought up images from her own past that she thought would have the most impact on them. The first image she brought up was of her as a toddler, barely older then two playing in the throne room with her twin brother. Her parents were watching them and smiling. Well Plasmius was at least. For some reason they couldn't quite make out Lady Specter.

"Let's play Kingdom. I'm the Supreme Ruler of the Ghost Zone and you're the peasant who has to obey my every will!" Phantom ordered her younger self.

"But we always play Kingdom! I want to play Magicians and Witches. Mommy, Daddy, please make Danny play with me," Nadera pouted.

"Now Nadera, be reasonable. Your brother was first with his suggestion. You can play Magicians and Witches another time," Lord Plasmius said firmly.

"Besides, didn't you two play Magicians and Witches yesterday?" Lady Specter pointed out gently.

"That's not the point Mommy! Every time I want to do something you always take Danny's side. It's not fair! I'm older by twenty seconds what I say should go!" Nadera cried.

"Grow up Nadera. Don't whine and cry just because you didn't get your way," Danny teased her. Nadera threw a punch at him and ran away. The memory ended.

"I'm afraid I don't get it. That sounded like typical sibling rivalry and parents settling a conflict," Danny admitted.

"Yes, what was so painful and wrong about that?" Vlad asked trying again to wiggle free from his cuffs.

"I showed you this memory because this is where it all started. The first time you two hurt me. It gets worse as time goes on. Allow me to show you my eight birthday," Nadera said bringing up another memory.

This time the entire castle had been transformed. Thousands of decorations hung from the ceiling and there was a huge feast on the table. There was all sorts of entertainment going on ranging from jugglers to fire dancers. There were hundreds of guests and in the background they could just make out a huge pile of presents.

Lord Plasmius was chatting happily with some guest his with his wife next his side. Both of them seemed very happy to be celebrating their children's birthday. "As you can see I spared no expense for my children's party. I want them to have the best birthday ever."

"Anyone can plainly see that you're Lordship. The young prince and princess seem to be enjoying themselves greatly. I can't believe their not tearing apart their gifts yet," one ghost, a duchess, commented on.

"Oh they will in a few minutes. I hope they enjoy the gifts my husband got for them. I thing that their going to have a lot of fun with them," Lady Specter said pleasantly.

"Mom! Mom! Danny stole my presents! Make him give them back!" Nadera ordered her mother. Before she responded her husband spoke up.

"Nadera, please its not polite to interrupt adults when their talking. Now I'm sure that Daniel isn't hoarding your gifts and will give them back if you ask nicely. Now please run along and fetch your brother," Lord Plasmius ordered in a not so gentle tone.

Nadera glared at her father, but did as she was told. She found her brother eating a piece of their birthday cake. "DANNY! That was for both of us! Can't you behave yourself?"

"Would you quit your complaining? Honestly your way to bossy and strict. Loosen up its our birthday!" Danny replied shoving past her rudely.

A little while later everyone was seated and they started to open up their gifts. Danny got all kinds of models, books, and hunting stuff. Not to mention all kinds of toys. But it was his gift his from his parents that he loved the most. His mother gave him a small crystal statue and his father gave him a telescope that could break the boundaries of the Ghost Zone so he could stargaze.

Nadera's gifts were not as glamorous. She mostly got girly stuff like dolls, sewing kits, and jewelry. Her toys weren't as nice. But it was her parent's gifts that made her want to cry. Her mom got her a toy magic wand and her dad had given her storybook. Clearly he didn't understand her wish for real magical items.

More images past including the flashback she had experienced played before their eyes. In each one she was given little attention, passed over or ignored. Plasmius and Phantom spent so much time together they barely had time for her. Lady Specter tried to keep the family together, but it was far too difficult. It just seemed that no one understood her or encouraged her abilities in magic. With a wave of her hand the images faded away leaving the two humans with much to think about.

"As you can see for yourself my anger is well deserved. My father and brother never paid any attention to me. They ignored me, mocked my magical abilities, and never gave me an ounce of attention! All I ever wanted was to be loved and respected by my family and I never got it! Now do you understand why I want revenge? Why should they get a chance to be reborn and live their lives again while I'm stuck here? I don't think so. I was almost glad to hear about you two fighting almost," Nadera said quietly. Tears streamed down her face.

"Almost? If you hated our ghost halves so much why aren't you happy were fighting now as humans?" Vlad challenged.

"Because as much as I despised my brother and father for ignoring me I respected them for the way they lead our people peacefully for years. You two have ruined their good names. And I'm not just referring to your conflicts with one another. I speak also of your own human lives and the suffering you've caused.

Let's start with you Dad, or do you prefer to be called Vlad Masters? First off you used your ghost powers for personal gain, you robbed innocent people and hurt anyone who got in your way. Your lust for a married women is almost as disgusting as your desire for vengeance on a man who has done nothing but be your friend. He even named you Danny's godfather did you know that? Your twisted desire to have a family has caused you to break so many ethical codes I don't even know if you realize what's right anymore. I am of course speaking about your disastrous attempt to clone Danny Phantom, which would never have worked. Even if you had gotten the midmorph DNA your attempt to split Danny's soul in two would have resulted in the destruction of the clone within seconds. From Jazz's memories I am able to determine that beneath her loathing of you she feels nothing but pity because you refuse to move on. I despise what you have done with my ghost father's name.

Then there's you Danny, my dear brother. Don't think just because you're a hero that your not as bad as him. You use your powers to pull pranks on innocents, you're judgmental of others, and take people for granted. You are mean to mean to your parents and sister. You don't know how lucky you are to have such loving parents who would do anything for you or a sister that listens to you! Don't get me started on how you treat your friends I mean do you ever thank them? Are you ever going to trust them completely? I think not. You complain so much that your life is horrible that you think this a curse and not a blessing. Well I think you should grow up and Jazz agrees with me. You're a terrific kid Danny, but you need to listen to her more often.

You asked why I hate your fighting so much well I think the answer should be easy. What about the innocent victims who get caught up in the crossfire? The damage that you two do is as bad as the pain you cause. Should everyone suffer because Vlad Masters and Danny Fenton are two prideful and arrogant to settle their differences with words? Those are the reasons I want revenge on you two. That is the reason I've brought you as well as the important part you play in the ceremony," Nadera finished explaining. The basin, which had been reflecting images to support her claim stopped.

Both humans looked at her in stun disbelief. They couldn't deny there was a certain ring of truth to her words. Still even if they were like that it didn't give her an excuse to kidnap them.

"Nadera listen to me. People make mistakes all the time. It doesn't mean they can't change," Danny said slowly

"Daniel is right Nadera. Despite the atrocities we might have performed, I don't think you have the right to kidnap us and take your feelings of anger and resentment out on us in some silly magic ritual," Vlad told her.

"Silly magical ritual? Is that what you think this is? I spent centuries preparing for this night and there is nothing silly about it believe me. This ritual will endow me with the ultimate power and give me the revenge I've desired for so long," Nadera lashed out at him. She fired a lighting bolt at him barely missing his head.

"Excuse me but how does this ceremony work exactly? What is this ultimate power that you seek." Danny asked nervously. Nadera smiled pleased by the question. She gestured towards the center of the village where the ceremony had finished being set up.

The symbol of the triquatra had been painted on the ground and candles now covered it. Where the points intersected stood a huge stake with firewood under it. On the outside edges of each point was a smaller stake with the dolls tied up to it. Two items of personal value, one to the ghost side and one to the human rested at their feet except the one for Lady Specter. The same glowing inscriptions filled the space. Surrounding the area were several crystals of varying colors. The last thing they saw were small fires being lit and people bringing out musical instruments.

"The ultimate power is the combined power of all four royal stones and the Earth's magic coursing through my veins. The ceremony is very simple and quite effective. You see when the stars of Earth align into the constellation form of a ghost the will cast the light upon the Earth absorbing all its magic. I positioned mirrors through out the house to focus the beam so that is magical light is directed straight here. When the moonlight from the moon here intersects it the power will be drawn towards the crystals. The crystals will transfer their powers to the points where the dolls are tied up. Once there I will start the spell by chanting the inscriptions, which will activate the dolls powers. By using personal items from both halves of you I will keep you under control long enough for me to absorb the ghost forms of my father, mother, and brother. Once I have them I will be able to control the power all four stones and all the magic of the world. I have taken steps to ensure that my mind stays in control so I don't end up like Dan Phantom. Soon I will be queen of both the Ghost Zone and the Earth!" Nadera exclaimed happily.

"Uh that's nice an all, but you still haven't told us what are part in all this is? If you plan to absorb our ghost halves what use are we?" Vlad asked afraid of what the answer will be.

"Your services our required for the most important part of the ceremony. To ensure that my ghostly brother and father don't escape back into you a sacrifice is required.'

"Sacrifice? You can't be serious."

"Oh but I am. In order to gain the human experiences I need to rule I will need to add your memories into the mix. By sacrificing you I will have my revenge as well as the human equation. Oh don't look so sad it won't be that bad. And if you worried about Jazz don't be. I plan to release her moments before I absorb everyone so she'll be safe. Well I love to stay and chat some more, but I have to rest up for the big ceremony. Enjoy your last two hours of life!" Nadera told them heading for her hut. As she left she stopped and turned to face them once more. Her face was filled with mix emotions.

"Despite what you might think of me a small part of me is sorry about doing this. You two had no say in receiving my father and brother's ectoplasm inside you and you should be spared. But my desire for revenge outweighs anything I might feel for you. Good bye," she said and with a quick turn she was gone.

"Well this isn't how I planned to end my life. I expected to die surrounded by my fortune," Vlad admitted sheepishly.

"Well I don't plan to die young at all! Come on Vlad get with the program. If we don't figure a way to escape this place in the next two hours we're done for!" Danny yelled at him.

"Well the two of you arguing like that isn't going to solve your problem," A familiar voice said. The two humans turned to look in the other cage where Phantom and Plasmius floated. It was Plasmius who had spoken. "Nice to see our human halves even if they're panicking."

"How long have you two been awake?"

"The whole time. We were just playing possum. It's a great way to get out boring meetings with royalty. By the way what is with you and denying your emotions? I mean hello if you love Sam why don't you tell her?" Phantom asked.

"How do you know about that? I thought those inscriptions withheld your ancient memories and those are mine!"

"Well your part of me and I'm part of you. We share the same memories. As for the inscriptions, the spell is losing its effectiveness due to Nadera's emotional conflict. I'm starting to remember everything from my past life and I have to admit I was kind of a jerk," Phantom admitted softly.

"No less then I was son. I should have been more encouraging of your sister's magical abilities and paid more attention to her. She deserved a whole lot better then what she got. I'm the worst father ever. How I wish Madeline were here. At least she knew how to handle Nadera when she got like this," Plasmius said as he berated himself. Phantom put a hand on his shoulder to comfort him.

"Excuse me, but what do you mean that Nadera's emotional state is effecting her magic?" Danny inquired.

"And why do you believe your wife, Madeline, could do any better? In my opinion you have to a have a firm disposition to handle kids," Vlad added.

"You don't understand what it means to be a father yet Vlad. It's about being there when your child needs you the most. To protect them from as much harm as possible. To always love them no matter what. I was all that for Daniel, but for Nadera I failed to take in account that she isn't her brother. That's the worst that can happen to a parent. That they fail their child by not protecting them. Maybe one day when you're a parent you'll understand," Plasmius replied to Vlad's question.

"As for Nadera and her magic its simple. Magic is controlled by emotions and feelings. What you feel reflects in your ability to control it or use it. When she placed these inscriptions on us she was angry and didn't want us to remember. That's why she used the dead language of ghost. The inscriptions read as followed: Withhold the hidden truth from his conscience mind and if he seeks it out let the pain he caused others be reflected upon him by a thousand fold: As you have witnessed she's confused right now she can't control the magic around her as well," Phantom explained.

"Maybe we can use that to our advantage. If we can distract her long enough she might lose control of her magic long enough for us to bust out of these cages," Danny mused.

"Then we can get the jump on her and destroy her before she destroys us. Brilliant Daniel!" Vlad exclaimed.

"Not going to happen. I will not allow you to harm our daughter. If I have to I'll fight you to protect her," Plasmius vowed.

"But she wants to kill us! Don't you believe in self-protection? Survival of the fittest? It's her or us! Can't you see she's a villianess?" Danny yelled them shaking the bars of the cage.

"No it isn't! It's never truly black and white. There are always shades of gray. Our sister is as much a victim as she is a villianess. All she truly wants is to be loved and respected. We have to try and save her before she's to far gone. I know you think this is strange, but it isn't. Family sticks together no matter what. I'm sure if you two look inside your hearts you realize we speak the truth. Please don't waste this chance to make things right," Phantom pleaded. After that the four of them fell silent with nothing left to talk about.

Inside her hut Nadera was attempting to meditate, but found herself unable to. Her emotions clouded her mind making it difficult to concentrate. On the one hand this was what she had been waiting for the past six centuries and nothing was going to stop her from gaining the ultimate power. But on the other hand she could feel a strong desire to try and make things better this time around.

Letting out a cry of frustration she picked up a vile containing the essence of griffin and hurled it at the wall. It smashed against the wall causing a thick layer of smoke to engulf the room. With a wave of her hand the smoke cleared leaving her just as bewildered and poignant as before.

"I can't stand this! Being a halfa has caused me to become soft! Why can't I be excited about this as I was before? This is what I want more then anything! Revenge for all my pain and misery. The sooner I've separated from Jazz the better," she spat.

Soon the two hours were almost up. It was time to begin the ceremony. Nadera strode out of her hut and down to the cages. She was greeted by Skull who informed her he had not been able to locate the remains of Lady Specter. It mattered not because she would summon them.

She turned to face the cage containing her ghostly brother and muttered a quick spell replicating the cuffs so now both ghosts wore a pair. She created another pair for the humans so now both hands cuffed them. Ignoring their pleas for mercy she had her zombie ghost escort them painfully down to the ceremony.

Phantom and Plasmius were dragged apart and taken to opposite spots where they were then shackled to the stake. The humans were flown above the center stake and dropped over it so the had no chance to escape. They could only watch helplessly as Nadera entered the triquatra and spoke to her minions.

"My fellow ghosts. Tonight is a night worthy of celebration. After six hundred long years your promise to me will be fulfilled! Tonight I shall absorb the powers of my ghostly brethren and obtain the magic of the Earth. Together this will make me powerful enough to rule both worlds as Princess Nadera Apparition! I can only ask that after this all over you will still remain by my side as my loyal friends," she preached.

"We have pledged our undead loyalty to you Nadera. We have been as close as family these past few years and don't plan to stop now. So lets start the music shall we?" Skull asked with cheers rising from the others.

Soon the drums were beating, maracas were shaking, and the castanets were clacking as the group began to chant and dance around the painted triquatra. Their unearthly song and graceful moves memorized Danny and Vlad, who were still trying to break free before they were roasted.

"Well you have to admit she's a good dancer. Any luck yet in breaking free?" Danny asked straining with all his might to get loose.

"Not even a inch. Your father may be an idiot, but he sure knows how to build things that last!" Vlad gasped.

"Well we better hurry because once that song is done their going to light the bonfire on us!"

All to soon the song ended and the dance came to a halt. The ghostly green moon came into position overhead. On Earth the stars aligned sending their mystical light through Fenton Works and into the Ghost Zone.

"The power is almost upon us! Light the fire quickly I must began the chant!" Nadera ordered Skull who quickly obeyed. Soon the orange flames were licking at the feet of the two former halfas. Both let out a screech that could be heard throughout the Ghost Zone. "That's hot!"

Nadera smirked at them and rose directly above the two humans smiling happily as the two lights intersected creating a spectacular light show. The lights were drawn into the crystals, which sent it directly to the dolls waiting to be channeled into Nadera, but first she had to summon her mother's remains.

"I call upon the ancient powers of both life and death. Grant me the power I need to call forth the remains of my mother, Lady Madeline Specter! Acio Transporta Summones Portalas!" Nadera chanted.

Both Phantom and Plasmius as well as Danny and Vlad watched in amazement as a hot pink light with a mix of jet black formed at the third point. It soon started to take the shape of a human.

"Yes! Bring forth my mother's remains now! I must have them to complete the ritual! What the? Ahhhh!" She screamed as a jet black chain came soaring at her. She received a glancing blow and looked down in bewilderment.

Standing at the third point was a young woman. She wore black heels, blue tights, and blue knee length skirt with silver trim. Her top was also blue with the initials MS plastered on the center surrounded by silver studs. Her sleeves were short and wide with silver trim. Her black elbow length gloves had white trim and she wore several sapphire rings that complemented her royal sapphire stone chocker and earrings. On her head was a silver tiara with a single sapphire stud. Her skin was normal and she had neon green eyes and long volumes white hair. She looked up at Nadera and spoke gently. "Hello Nadera it's been a long time."

"Yes it has mother. It has indeed!" Nadera snarled angrily at her. She tried to use the ring she was using in the ritual to control her mother, but was shocked that she was unable to.

"Your magic is unable to effect me. I'm a halfa now. Just like you, your brother, and your father are. Unless you have a doll of both halves of me your magic is useless. Now why don't you free these nice humans and return them back to your father and brother?" Specter suggested kindly.

"How about I you take your place in the ceremony? Take that!" Nadera shouted firing ghost lighting at her with one hand and hurled fire with the other.

Lady Specter dodged the attack and sent her own ghostly chain at her daughter. She deliberately missed her. "Please stop this Nadera. I don't want to hurt you!"

"You already hurt me! You can't pretend that you actually loved me! You can't possibly be able to justify the injustice done to me! I will have my revenge!" Nadera screamed flying through the air at her mom.

Specter went intangible and invisible. Nadera looked around trying to use her ghost sense to find her. Suddenly a ghost ray hit her from behind. When she turned she was surrounded by two Specters.

Down below another Specter worked furiously to free Phantom from his stake. "Don't worry son. I'll have you free soon as well as your father. I just need to undo your sister's magic."

"Don't worry about me worry about the humans! You need to free them before the flames consume them!" Phantom warned her.

"Don't worry I'm just a clone. Your real mom is trying to free Vlad and Danny before it's to late. Now hold still while I try to break these locks," the clone assured him.

Meanwhile Danny and Vlad were in deep trouble. The flames were already starting to burn through their shoes and were leaping up at their faces. There was nothing they could do to stop it. "HELP! I DON'T WANT TO BE BARBUCUED!" Danny screamed.

"Would somebody please save us before my Italian suit is destroyed!" Vlad wailed.

"Calm down you two. I'm going to try to use my royal stone to put out the flames. Hopefully this will work," Specter mused touching her chocker. Instantly a pale blue light engulfed the flames in an attempt to smother them.

At first it seemed to work. The flames started to retreat leaving the two struggling humans alone. Soon they were all, but gone. Specter was smiling happily at her progress when a powerful ghost stinger was sent at her disrupting her.

"I'm not as stupid as you assume Mother. This has gone on long enough. Time for a little magical assist! Trapest Bindest Powerlessness Strip! Gortao Showna Leta Magica!" Nadera shouted with a sweeping gesture.

Her magic was doubled by the power of her amythesis pendent. Specter tried to resist the pull, but it was too much for her. She soon found herself tied to final stake and stared helplessly as the flames started up again. "No, please Nadera don't do this. We love you."

"She's telling the truth my little princess. Don't cross a line you can't cross back over," Plasmius warned her struggling to break free.

"Sis, if you part human now then use your human heart! You know this is wrong. You don't need to hurt people to feel loved and respected!" Phantom pleaded.

Nadera, who was back in position gazed at her ghost family one by one. Her eyes were full of unshed tears. When she gazed down at her human family her heart raced. It wasn't to late to stop this.

Skull shouted at her from down below. "Don't let them mess with your mind! Think about all the pain and suffering you have dealt with. The loneliness and betrayal you have felt. Let them pay for it!"

Nadera wiped the tears from her eyes and glared at them. Her doubts were banished from her mind. This is what she had waited centuries for and nothing was going to stop her. "It is time for the retribution! Let the ceremony proceed!"

Nadera made a sweeping gesture and spread her arms wide apart. Her eyes took on a whitish glow and unearthly wind began to wrap itself around her body. She opened her mouth and began to sing the incantation. "Fala Mala Sala Orla Absorption Plasmius, Absorption, Phantom, Absorption, Specter, Sacrifice life-forces Danny and Vlad!"

On the ground the inscriptions lit up brightly. They encompassed the voodoo doll writing the inscriptions all over it causing the doll to light up. At the same time the live counterparts started to scream as they felt themselves started to feel themselves being pulled into Nadera. They tried to resist, but the personal affects held them there. Things weren't looking good.

"We got them to help them! If Nadera absorbs them then nothing will be able to stop her!" Danny yelled as the flames ravage around him.

"Well how to you suggest we do that when we can't free ourselves! And even if we did how do you suggest we fight her? We don't have any powers!" Vlad replied hotly.

Danny felt his mind whirling. There was something he wasn't getting. It was like he had all the pieces to the puzzle, but was unable to put them together.

"Got to think. What is it I'm missing?" Danny thought scrunching his eyes closed. He remembered that Phantom told him Nadera's magic was controlled by her emotions, he knew that her ghost family still loved her and wanted to save her as well as that part of Nadera doubted this whole thing. But it was the last line of the prophecy that was the final piece. "But be aware of the heart of humans and a mother's love for her child." That was it!

"Vlad I think I know how to defeat Nadera!"

"Well please share already!"

"Its so simple! It's the last line of the prophecy that's the key. The heart of humans combined with the love of the mother can defeat her without killing her. Think about it. Nadera's magical powers are powered by emotions. So lets use our own emotions to fight back. Grab my hand and think about the thing you love the most and try to be pure hearted!" Danny ordered grabbing his hand.

Danny and Vlad both began to think about the things that mattered the most for them. The people they loved and the places they cared about. Soon the flames died away and they were free of their bonds. It was time to fight.

"Come on we have to join with our ghost halves and help Lady Specter. Focus your energies on your ghost half and merge!" Danny ordered reaching out for his ghost half as Vlad did the same. Almost at once they felt themselves joined up with the ghost halves again.

"NO! I won't let my plans fail!" cried Nadera.

"I think its time to put you in a time out. I'll take care of the zombies you two hold her off for awhile." Danny ordered as he flew off. Touching his medallion he used it powers to cage the zombie ghost up.

Meanwhile Plasmius used his clip to send spheres at her hoping to ensnare her, but no success. Nadera was just too strong to be taken out by an individual.

"We have to work together! All three of us must use our stones powers to encase her in a crystal shell! That's the only way to block her magic. Join your powers with me. Nadera please forgive me," Specter whispered as the trio surrounded her.

Nadera tried to block their attack, but was unable to. The combine power of three royal stones was enough to trap her. Danny caught her before she smashed into the ground.

Specter used her powers to fetch all the voodoo dolls so they could undo the magic upon them. "We must hurry and leave this place before the zombie ghost break free. If we head to Clockwork's tower he can separate Jazz from Nadera and me oww," she started to say before she started to fall from the sky.

Plasmius dived bomb after her and caught her. He looked at her concerned. "Lady Specter? What's wrong with you? You seem so weak."

"I used up almost all my energy in that fight. I must be taken to Clockwork and separated from my host before it's to late. Please hurry," she begged. Two rings of hot pink light formed around her waist and transformed her back into a human. Who it was surprised them.

"MOM!"

"MADDIE!"

"Look normally I hit you for holding my mother, but right now we need to haul butt and get to Clockwork so lets go." Danny ordered as the two halfas flew away as fast as they could.
