Chapter 11

Metropolis, Delaware

Superman

A giant centaur charged forward trying to trample Superman. The Man of Steel quickly dodged it and kicked one of its horse legs, making it stop and giving him time to knock it out with a quick punch to the jaw. Superman didn't have much time to celebrate as he was soon frozen in a block of ice yet again. He quickly broke out and fired his heat vision at thirty ghosts that were flying towards him only to get a kick in the solar plexus from below knocking the wind out of him. Fifty ghosts dog piled him and they all crashed into the street. "RRRRRRGH!" Superman groaned as he pushed against them with all his might, sending them flying up. Superman quickly flew up and spun as fast as he could, sucking at least 100 ghosts and sending them flying.

It's no use, there's just too many, Superman realized as he saw more ghosts come out of the portal. As he got ready to fight to the last he saw a blue ice beam freeze twenty ghost then a funnel-like ray of light sucked them into a Thermos. "Danny!" Superman yelled out in relief. "The cavalry's arrived!" Danny yelled as he flew into the fray, blasting ghosts left and right with his ghost rays and sucking them up with his Thermos. Danny's friend Tucker was riding on what looked like a flying surf-board with a red clad woman blasting away with ecto guns as they flew over to Superman. "Here, these should help," Tucker said as he handed him a pair of gauntlets. "Ghost Gauntlets, ghosts can't phase through it and when it hits, it hits hard," Tucker explained as Superman put them on. "Where's Steel?" Superman asked. "Right here!" his friend replied, rocketing over and blasting ghosts with a laser firing rifle.

"Here," Steel said as he landed near him and handed a bottle of green fluid, "The Fenton's say that this spray should close the portal. We'll cover you while you do that," Steel told him. Tucker nodded and the woman in red said, "We got this." Superman recognized Valerie Grey's voice and nodded. They all flew up in the air, Steel, Valerie, and Tucker blasting at ghosts the whole way as Superman flew forward with the Ecto-Dejecto. Out of the corners of his eyes Superman saw the tide turning. On the ground Danny's sister Jazz and girlfriend Sam were leading the Police to victory, on the rooftops Mr. and Mrs. Fenton were break dancing as lasers in their suits fired away. He was most amazed as Danny flew through the air, blasting with ice and ghost rays and handling the ghosts like they were nothing alongside Kara who was hitting anything ghostly in her way with Ghost Gauntlets like the ones he was wearing.

Superman flew higher and higher and finally reached the Ghost Portal. Please work, he begged as he sprayed the Ecto-Dejecto onto the portal. Like magic the portal started shrinking and fewer ghosts came out of it. "Yes!" Superman crowed as the portal continued to shrink. "My my, we can't have this end too quickly now, can we?" Superman heard Mxyzptlk say. All of the sudden everything went green, and intense pain shocked through his body. Superman looked and saw a glowing green dust covering his whole body. "Kryptonite…" he gasped as he started plummeting to Earth.

Danny couldn't believe it; he was actually fighting side by side with Supergirl. She was just as strong as he'd heard and was handling herself like no one's business. Danny snapped out of his fanboying when he saw a green object falling to the ground from the portal in the sky. Supergirl gasped, "Its Kal, he's covered in Kryptonite dust!" "Oh man!" Danny yelled, flying as fast as he could to catch him. Danny caught his hero, who slurred, "Water…gets…dust…off…" Danny spotted a water tower and flew towards it, "Oh no you don't," he heard a voice say, then red flowers fell on top of him, and pain shot through his body. Blood Blossoms! Danny's mind screamed as he fell on a rooftop. Danny screamed as he felt the flowers burn like acid. "Danny!" he heard Tucker scream as him and Valerie flew next to him, "We gotta get these flowers off him!" Tucker yelled at Valerie as he grabbed some and threw them off his friend. Valerie stood there blasting at ghosts that saw Danny's predicament and were trying to get him. All of a sudden a massive burst of water fell on them, washing the flowers off.

Danny stood to see Superman, stand up, a partly melted water tower behind him. Superman stood up and flew back at the portal. Danny got up himself and helped Valerie and Tucker fight off the ghosts that were approaching.

The battle went on for ten more minutes before everyone stopped and realized there were no more ghosts. A quick look skyward showed that the portal was gone as Superman floated down to Danny. "We did it!" Danny yelled. "Indeed you did, not bad kid," the same voice said. Danny turned around and saw a little man in a purple suit floating with him and Superman. "Who are you?" Danny asked, getting ready to fight again. "Mr. Mxyzptlk," the imp said, taking a bow, "I made that portal that Blue Boy here closed to see how good the two of you were. I must say, you're not half bad," Mxyzptlk told him. "Well, this was fun, I can't wait until next time, but I'll be going now. Kltpzyxm!" With that Mxyzptlk disappeared. "What just happened?" Danny asked, confused. "That was Mxyzptlk; he's a being from the Fifth Dimension who alters reality in this dimension for fun. It appears we just gave him his fill of fun for now, so he went back home," Superman explained.

"Man, that guy must be a pain to deal with," Danny commented as he sat down, "You have no idea," Superman agreed as he sat down next to him.
