Time Fixers: Nicktoons of the Future

Episode 05: Attack of the Killer Plants

Plot: During the hottest day of the year, Darry accidentally awakens Undergrowth, who was previously defeated by Danny Phantom years ago. Now he's back and takes over HQ. With his plants, he kidnaps Danny and other Nicktoon associates, replacing them with plant clones that require sapping their life energy from the originals in order to become stable. Undergrowth also kidnaps Yuki in order to create his new "daughter" and plant queen to his new realm, and SpongeTron to reprogram into a "human-whacker". Without Danny's ice powers to inherit, can Darry and friends save his sister and everyone in HQ before they become plant food?

Part 1


Back in HQ, Yuki was asleep this whole time until she opened her eyes. "Ugh...my head hurts. What happened?" she groaned until her vision became clear. Yuki realizes she was trapped inside a giant pod and somewhere in the center of HQ. The first person she recognizes is Danny. "Daddy?!" she asked.

"Yuki… you're awake," Danny said in a weak tone.

"Daddy, what's going on? Where are we?" Yuki asked while trying to move inside, "And what are these things?"

"They're giant plant pods that are currently breaking down our bodies for plant nourishment." Jimmy explained, trapped in a giant plant pod of his own. "We might not have long until we're completely drained of our lives."

Yuki gasped with a frightened look and weakly asked, "But...But where's Darry? Is he here with us?"

"With SpongeTron..." Danny answered, sounding weaker than ever. "…I believe."

But from the shadows of the dark room, something metal was clanking on the floor and glowing green eyes were the only things visible. "Process nearing completion." a robotic-sounding voice said, eyeing the trapped humans.

The metal thing walked out of the shadows, causing Danny, Yuki, and Jimmy to gasp in shock. It was SpongeTron whose eyes were glowing green and vines were attached to the back of his head. "SpongeTron?!" Jimmy was horrified, but wanted answers. "What did you do with him?"

"I simply hacked into his CPU and reprogrammed him," the Jimmy copy responded, whose vines are connected to SpongeTron, "He's one of us now."

"You blasted vegetation doppelganger," Jimmy cursed at his duplicate.

"Every garden needs a trimmer," a voice called out, which is similar to Yuki. The figure from above the darkness climbed down with her vines which Yuki comes face-to-face with the Plant Yuki, now dressed similar to the Plant Queen.

"He just needed a little fine-tuning in order to function properly." the Plant Queen Yuki said. "Thanks to him, he'll rid the garden of all those pesky 'weeds'."

Crash suddenly opens his eyes from inside a pod and sees everything that's going on. "Gee..." he said, smiling at the Plant Queen Yuki. "She sure is prettier than a sea flower."

This caused Jimmy, Danny, and Yuki to stare at him until Crash chuckled nervously, "I'm mean, like a tumbleweed in a washed out desert- that's so not not-ugly!"

"Okay, as much as I hate to admit it, I look pretty cool in that outfit," Yuki said, somewhat impressed.

"And pretty..." Crash said, looking at Yuki, love-struck again until he snapped out of it before being noticed. "...dumb!"

Danny started groaning as more energy is sapped out of him. "Daddy!" Yuki cried then faced the Plant Queen, "Are you gonna let this happen to our father?"

"My father is Undergrowth," the Plant Queen Yuki told, "And soon, he will become your father once your body breaks down and you are reborn as part of our children."

"And should any of you try to resist...your hedges will be trimmed." the Plant Jimmy stated as he stuck another vine into SpongeTron's body, causing the robot to spark and jerk until he growled ferociously.

"Where is Undergrowth anyway?" Danny questioned.

"He's becoming stronger, thanks to your solar power," the Danny copy explained, "The sunrays are nourishing him and making him more powerful. Soon, our father will be unstoppable and not even the great Danny Phantom can defeat him."

"That's where you're wrong, you overgrown shrub!" Jimmy protested, "Cuz there's one team remaining and strong enough to defeat your so-called 'father'!"

One of the Plant Jimmy's vines inside SpongeTron moves around and SpongeTron's hand suddenly turns into a blade as he leaps forward and holds it toward Jimmy's neck.

"SpongeTron, no." Jimmy whispered to him, trying to lift his chin away from the blade. "Snap out of it."

But SpongeTron didn't seem to acknowledge anything he was saying. "Destroy fleshwalkers." he said in a monotone. "Cut down weeds."

"No matter how big you are in numbers, our father will still win." the Plant Jimmy said. "Once we find them, they'll suffer the same fate as you." He pulled back his arm, and SpongeTron was recoiled away from Jimmy. Then, the plant doppelgangers left, dragging SpongeTron across the floor by Plant Jimmy's vines.

Yuki began to pass out as she weakened, "What's...gonna happen now?" she asked.

"I don't know." Danny answered as he suffered the same fate. "Hopefully, Darry and the others can still..."


Back in the Ghost Zone, Darry was still in the Far Frozen, having practiced to control the Ice Crystal which would give him the ice powers he needed.

"YES!" Darry shouted in triumph as he jumped up and down with the Ice Crystal around his neck. "I totally rocked with my new ice powers! Watch out, Undergrowth, because there's a new Phantom that's taking you down!"

But in the arena where he was training, there were pieces of ice everywhere, destroyed target signs, many inhabitants that were watching were either frozen or injured. Tammy and Junior were thawing out the frozen by either chipping off the ice or using a hairdryer.

"I'm ready, Frostbite." Darry said excitedly. "I'm ready to go stop Undergrowth and save everyone."

"If you are sure of yourself, I can't stop you." Frostbite responded. "I believe that you will come out victorious just as your father did."

Darry smiled when Tammy is able rig power from the hairdryer to charge her Recaller. She pushes a button and is able to unlock a portal. "We're all set, Dar!" she called.

"Yay! We're coming, Crash, Twitchy, and Buster!" Junior cried as he and Tammy jump into the portal.

Darry is about to follow, but Frostbite held on his shoulder. "Remember this, Darrel Fenton," Frostbite advised, "You don't have to be like your father to be great. Only you must rely on yourself to do so."

Darry thought about this for a second. But then, shook his head and nodded. "I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for everything, Frostbite." then he walked through the portal as it disappeared behind them.


The portal re-opens in Nicktoon HQ as Tammy, Junior, and Darry jump out of it. But to their surprise, it didn't look like HQ at all. Everything was covered in vines, leaves, grass, and flowers. "Wow," Junior said in amazement. "It looks so pretty." then he shivered in fright. "And kinda dark."

"It kinda reminds me of that movie with the cursed board game." Darry mentioned. "Note to self, stay away from the bedroom."

"But where is everyone?" Tammy asked, worried. "Where's Tommy? And my dad? And Jimmy, and SpongeTron?"

"Let's look around." Darry instructed as he pushed her forward. "We just might run into someone."

The three began walking down the dark hallways of what was once Nicktoon HQ. After a while, Darry wiped his forehead and asked, "Is it me or is it hotter than it was before?"

"Guys!" a familiar voice called them. The trio looked closer to see the figure whose voice belonged to.

Tammy recognizes whose voice it was. "Tommy?" she called back.

Tommy ran out of the shadows. "Guys, I'm so glad to see you!" he smiled, "You won't believe what is going on in here."

"Tommy, we're here to-" Darry covered Tammy's mouth to keep her from speaking further.

"Hold on," Darry said, very distrustful.

"Where have you been?" Tommy asked. "I need you to come with me quickly. We need your help."

Darry gestured to Tammy in caution. Tammy understood and clears her throat. "Umm...Tommy. What's your favorite color?"

"Chlorophyll," Tommy answered easily, "Why'd you ask?"

"That's a pigment, idiot!" Tammy aimed a blaster at Tommy and fired at him. Tommy fell on the ground, and his eyes were now green and the hole blown in his chest began to regenerate.

"Let's go!" Darry shouted as they quickly rushed passed the fake Tommy before he could completely recover.

They ran passed a corner and hid against the wall. "We have to find Undergrowth." Darry stated. "I can freeze him with my ice powers and this will all be over."

"But what about everyone else?" Tammy asked. "Where are they?"

"Uh... I think I found them." Junior shakenly said as he pointed up. Darry creates a bright light in his hand to discover they are in the center of HQ that now became a jungle and covered in giant pods with everyone trapped.

Tammy gasped. "Dad! Tommy! Jimmy!"

"Buster! Crash! Twitchy!" Junior cried.

"Tak! Kida!" Darry called out when he finds his family. "Dad! Yuki!" He flies up to Jimmy to find him semi-conscious. "Commander, are you alright?"

Jimmy opens his eyes half-way to see Darry. "Dar..." he groaned weakly. "Watch out...for...Sponge..."

Before Darry can get the whole message, he heard a buzzing noise from behind him and turned around to see SpongeTron flying through the air towards him with his arm as a chainsaw.

Darry quickly turned intangible and SpongeTron landed on the ground with his chainsaw still going. "Destroy...fleshlings!" SpongeTron snarled.

"SpongeTron?" Darry asked until his eyes wide and smiles. "Wait, I get it. You're just some plant copy of the real SpongeTron. Well, you can't fool me!"

He fired an ecto-beam at SpongeTron and directly hit him, blowing his arm off. "Yeah!" Darry cheered, until he saw SpongeTron's arm sparking with electricity. "You're...You're really SpongeTron."

"He's following his original programming," the Plant Jimmy appeared, "To obey orders of the dominant species, which is us instead of you humans."

Darry gasps when the Plant Queen Yuki pops up in front of him. "Have you come here to serve our father?"

"Yuki? Wow, that's a cool outfit for you," Darry said in admiration until he got serious, "You're mistaken. We're here to take back HQ, and stop Undergrowth and you plants from sapping everyone's life forces."

"Oh really?" Plant Yuki asked with a smirk, when unknowingly, Tammy and Junior were suddenly wrapped in vines and pulled away. "Don't you wanna help the children? Your friend SpongeTron has already joined our cause."

"You're a liar!" Darry shouted angrily. "He didn't join you, you're controlling him! He's nothing but a weapon to you guys! And you're killing our friends and family with all your 'helping' for your dumb children!"

Plant Yuki glared at him. "Fine." she snapped her fingers and SpongeTron growled viciously and turned his arm into a weed-whacker.

He jumped toward Darry and tried to cut him down as Darry jumped out of the way. "SpongeTron, wake up!" Darry shouted. "This isn't what you wanna be, remember?"

SpongeTron's eyes widen and his weapon slowly powers down. "What I wanna be?" he questioned.

The Plant Jimmy glared and shot another vine from his arm that stuck into SpongeTron that caused him to jerk around and growl viciously.

"SpongeTron!" Darry cried, but hear more screams and turns to see Tammy and Junior tangled in vines as they threw them into two more giant pods. In fury, Darry charged his fists with ghost energy. "Let them go now!"

Suddenly, a roar echoes the entire HQ. The Plant Queen and the Jimmy copy smiled wickedly. "You're too late, fleshing," he said, "Undergrowth has awakened and is now all-powerful."

The earth shook before them as giant vines rise up and form into Undergrowth. Darry backed away slowly as Undergrowth took complete form. "So you're the only one left." Undergrowth spoke to Darry. "Danny Phantom's offspring. But far from his level of experience."

Darry trembled before him now until he glanced at the Ice Crystal and took a stand toward him. "You'd be surprised by what I can do now." Darry boldly said as the crystal glowed around his neck and his fist began to glow bright blue.

Undergrowth seemed surprised by his newfound power. "No, it can't be…" Instantly, Darry shot ice rays at Undergrowth, freezing him.

"Father!" Plant Yuki cried. She growled at Darry, who easily blew the smoke from his hands. "Destroy him!" she yelled and summons vines and flytraps after him.

Darry quickly ducked and jumped out of the way. When the plants pass him, Darry uses his ice power to freeze them like Undergrowth. He smiles with his new ability when plant pods emerge behind him. The pods open up, releasing the plant clones of Danny, Timmy, Tak, Kida, Crash, Twitchy, Buster, and the newly formed clones of Tammy and Junior. The plant clones surround Darry as their arms form into vines and other assortments of plant-like weapons.

"I don't wanna hurt my friends and family," Darry said until he remembered what they really are, "So I'll hurt you instead!"

The Plant Danny forms his two hands into one flytrap. The flytrap opens its mouth, beginning to charge a large amount of solar energy. He blasts Darry with a solar ray, but Darry backed away and dodged until the Plant Tak attacked him. He had Darry trapped in coils of vines until Darry's body glows blue and the vines around him began to freeze until he was able to slip away. Darry shot a ray that instantly froze the Plant Tak.

"That's one…" Darry counted when the Plant Timmy and Tammy attack him with thorn blades. The Plant Tammy was able to slice through a bit of Darry's arm. Darry clutched his arm in pain when the Plant Timmy raises his blade and swings at him. Darry dodges and froze both of them.

"Three!" Darry is applauded for his success until the Plant Junior jumps on his shoulders and attacks. Darry stumbled around as the Plant Junior pulled at his hair. He soon grabbed the plant copy and froze it in ice before throwing it aside.

"Four!" then he turned around and saw Plant copies of Crash, Twitchy, Kida, and Buster charging at him. Before they could attack, Darry blasts ice beams from both his arms and from his eyes. All four beams hit them, freezing them in sight.

"Eight," Darry continued counting. "Now, who else?" Suddenly, a vine grabs his neck and drags him toward the ground. He looks up to see the Plant Tommy, using his vines to pull the ghost boy. Darry grabs a hold of the vine and freezes it, where its power heads toward Tommy. The ice spreads through Tommy's arm and covered the plant copy in ice. Darry breaks the frozen root around his neck and stands up to face the remaining clones: Jimmy, Danny, and Yuki. "Nine down and three to go."

"You're very skilled with your new ice powers, son." the Plant Danny said as he shoots a vine that grabs a hold of Darry's wrist. "But are you sure it would do you any good?"

Darry's fist glows blue as ice began to travel across the vine, about to freeze the Plant Danny as well. "Of course I am." he answered cockily.

Before the ice could travel further up his arm, Plant Danny's other arm turns into a flytrap as it snaps the vine off before it could freeze him. The Plant Danny charges another solar ray from his flytrap arm.

The ray directly hits Darry and he flies backwards, landing on his front. He pushes himself up, but sees a piece of shard across from him. His eyes widen and he sits up to see pieces of ice on the floor. The string around his neck was bare and he realized to his horror, that the Ice Crystal was now in pieces as was his ice powers.

"No..." Darry whispered in horror as he picked up the pieces and held them in his hands.

"What's wrong, Darry Phantom." Plant Jimmy asked. "Is your chance of defeating us in pieces?"

Darry glared and stood up to face Plant Jimmy, Plant Danny, and Plant Queen Yuki. "I can take you three on by myself!"

The Plant Yuki raises her vines, the Plant Danny snaps his flytrap arms, and the Plant Jimmy transformed his arm into a thorn blade while his other arm controls SpongeTron whose arms are now weed-whackers.

Darry backs away while still holding his fists up to begin defend himself. But suddenly, he felt a drop of water fall on his head. He wondered what it could be, but to his surprise he noticed the water was coming from the ice that had frozen Undergrowth- which could only mean one thing.

"Oh no," Darry realizes in horror as he looked up at the sun. Due to the high temperature, the ice that was incasing Undergrowth and his creations were melting. The ice melted as the plant clones leave their petrified state. Soon, Undergrowth breaks out of his icy imprisonment.

"You mere fleshwalker," Undergrowth growled, "Did you think your ice powers can stop me with the sun by my side?"

Darry stood there in shock and horror until he was suddenly tied by a thorny vine from the Plant Tammy and held to the ground as SpongeTron held a power saw toward Darry's head.

"Like I said to you before, fleshling." Undergrowth said to Darry. "You're just a sprout compared to your father. Even with powers like him, you stand no chance against me like your father once did. You're a failure!"

As Darry listened to Undergrowth's verbal taunt, he shut his eyes tightly as he laid at the plant's mercy. "He's right." he sadly whispered to himself. "I'm nothing like Dad. I had ice powers and I still lost. What can I do that he would? What can I do...?"

But then, he remembered what Frostbite had told him before he left, "Remember this, Darrel Fenton. You don't have to be like your father to be great. Only you must rely on yourself to do so."

As his words came to Darry's mind, he spots the vines connected to SpongeTron are connected to the Plant Jimmy. He looks up to see one of the solar panels above him. All the fear was gone from his eyes, which remain a glimpse of determination. "I may not be as good as my father," he glares up at the Plant Jimmy, "But that doesn't mean I don't have the strength to defeat you!" He fires beams from his eyes, hitting the solar panel.

The Jimmy copy looked up to see panel break and fall off. "Gas planet," he spoke as the panel crushed him, cutting off the vines connected to SpongeTron.

With the vines controlling him severed, the robot spun around and looked disoriented as his body whirred and sparked. "Master...destroy fleshwalkers...trim weeds..." he muttered before falling on the ground, deactivated.

Concern about the robot, Darry bit the vine attached to him. The Plant Tammy screamed in pain and lets go. Once released, Darry runs up to SpongeTron, yanking the remaining vines off him. "SpongeTron! Are you alright?" Darry asked when he noticed that the vines in his hands began to wilt away.

SpongeTron restarted as his body whirred once again and he opens his eyes. "Ugh...I had the most horrible dream," he groan in his normal voice, "I dreamt something creepy and crawly was inside me and it was controlling my movements..."

Darry chuckled a bit and replied, "You could say something like that kinda happened."

Undergrowth suddenly growled angrily. "You little fool! You may have taken out my source of solar energy, but the warmth of the sun still gives me plenty of power."

Darry looks at the wilted vines in his hands that were cut off from the Plant Jimmy and notices the sunrays reflecting on the panels and hitting the plants that started to hiss. "That's it…" Darry realized, "That's it!" he smiled, putting down SpongeTron and standing up. "SpongeTron, I have a plan. But we're gonna need our team back."

"Um...okay, but how can we release them from those pods?" SpongeTron asked.

Darry looks at the pods and notice that they're connected to a large vine. He turns back to see the Plant Jimmy getting out from the panels and regenerated any crushed or broken limbs from his body. Darry finally notices the vine connected to Jimmy's pod is connected to the Jimmy plant. "Like this!" Darry said, grabbing the dismembered chainsaw arm of SpongeTron's that he cut off earlier. He pulls the string that triggers the chainsaw.

The Plant Jimmy growled away as both of his arms turn into blades. He intends to finish them off until Darry uses SpongeTron's chainsaw to cut the vine connected to Jimmy's pod. Terminates the link between the two, the giant pod opens up and releases Jimmy. The Plant Jimmy screams as his arms begin to wither and the rest of him begins to wilt away into dead leaves and vines.

"NO!" Undergrowth yelled when he saw this. "You will pay for this!"

Jimmy groaned as his life energy returned to him. "Commander!" SpongeTron cried, running up to him.

Jimmy fluttered his eyes and noticed him. "SpongeTron... you're back to normal."

"Dar, you did it!" SpongeTron smiled, "Now we have to cut off connections from each pod to save everyone else."

"Right," Darry nodded, "And if we wanna save them all, then we have to terminate the core that started all this." SpongeTron nodded as he assisted Jimmy to walk and head toward Junior's pod.

Suddenly, the Plant Danny grabs Darry at the back by both arms. "You dare to defy our father!" he yelled angrily.

An ounce of Jimmy's strength returned as he uses an ax to chop off the root connected to Junior's pod while simultaneously extinguishing the Plant Junior that no longer possesses its host.

As the real Junior falls on the ground, something fell out of his pocket and bounces off the floor. As Darry struggled to get out of Plant Danny's grasp. He spots Junior's magnifying glass on the floor. He grabs the magnifying glass with his feet and moves it in the right position. Using Junior's gadget, Darry reflects the rays of the sun toward the vine of Danny's pod. As the ray of light hits it, it began to smoke and burn until the vine snapped apart. The pod opens, releasing Danny as the plant copy withers away, releasing Darry from his grasp.

Darry ran toward to his father, who due to being the first copied, is unconscious and appears to lack any energy left. "Dad?" Darry asked when the Plant Queen Yuki grabs him and wraps the boy with her vines.

"You're destroying our siblings, Darry." Plant Queen Yuki spoke coldly as she held him close. "You're ruining Father's plans. This place is our greenhouse. Even after all that you do, Father will just make more copies of you all. He still has power from the sun, you know."

Then, a ghost ray blasted the Plant Queen away from Darry and lets him go. It came from Danny, in Phantom form, and has hold of the vine connected to Yuki's pod. "Get away from my son!" Danny yelled in fury and pulls the vine apart, "And let go of my daughter!"

The pod opens up, releasing Yuki as she falls out, landing unconsciously in Danny's arms. Plant Yuki gasped and looks at her hands as they star to shrivel up. "Father!" she cried to Undergrowth before completely withering away into dead vines.

"Daughter!" Undergrowth shouted in horror until he furiously shot one of his large vines toward Danny, who was too preoccupied with Yuki to do anything. But Darry quickly flew in front of them and was grabbed instead.

"You..." Undergrowth said as held Darry in front of his face and glared furiously at him. "You have destroyed all my children. But once I destroy you, I will grow them all anew. And you will be nothing more than a shadow of your father."

Darry opened his eyes and glared back. "No...I won't." he looked down to see Jimmy, Timmy, Tak, and SpongeTron setting the solar panels back up.

"Haven't you ever heard that too much sun is a bad thing?" Darry asked as the sun shined down on the panel, and the group below pointed it in another direction toward Junior, who caught the light in his magnifying glass, and with the help of Buster, aimed the light upward.

The light seemed to annoy Undergrowth as it shined in his face, but Darry then spoke up, "Thanks to you, I know just who I am now." he broke out of Undergrowth's grasp and took off his visor. "You're right. I'm not my dad. I'm Darry Phantom: the new Danny Phantom!"

He used his visor to reflect the light into Undergrowth's face which began to sizzle and burn his eyes. Darry then signaled to everyone below and they moved the solar panels downward and the sun's rays reflected onto Undergrowth's roots, burning them and setting them ablaze.

"What? NOO!" Undergrowth roared in agony as the sun is used against him and the fire spread up to his upper body.

He began to shrink as flames consumed his body. Soon, the fire began to die down and the Nicktoons see there was nothing left but charred roots. All the leaves, vines, and flowers surrounding HQ began to wither away now that the main source was gone.

Darry floated back to the ground, panting in exhaustion as he sat on his knees and wiped sweat off his now bright red face. He sighs in relief with Undergrowth gone for good. However, he looks down to spots something. He wipes the charred roots away to find a tiny seed, the core of Undergrowth's power.


Much later, Darry places the seed back inside the black box. He closes and locks the box, storing it back into the glass dome in the Hall of Villains. He turns to Jimmy, who has a stern look on his face.

"I never knew a tiny seed would cause so much destruction," Darry admitted. "I'm sorry for disobeying you and causing of all this to happen." He bows his head, ready for his punishment.

However, Jimmy patted him on the head. "That's alright. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, even your father."

"My dad?" Darry asked surprised, "No way."

"Well, who else would sell his parents' junk at a garage sale; not knowing it was possessed and would merge into an evil techno-ghost? Or choose his best friend to become the bride of a royal dragon tyrant? Or if he ever cheated on his C.A.T.s, he would create a catastrophic future that includes an evil version of himself?"

As Darry listened to all this, he was certainly surprised by all this. "Gee...I guess I am a little bit like my dad." he touched his cheek in realization, but yelped in pain when he remembered the sunburn he received all over his forearms and face during the last battle.

Jimmy chuckles and asks, "Dar, do you know why I chose you to become a Nicktoon?"

"Because you thought I would be as powerful as my dad when it comes to ghost fighting?" Darry dryly guessed.

"No," Jimmy answered as he placed his hands on Darry's shoulders. "Because of your fortitude and perseverance. You showed today that even though everyone thought you didn't have what it takes to save the day, you still stood strong and proved that it's not the skills or the abilities that make someone a hero. It's the heart."

Darry smiled in satisfaction when Kida comes in with Tak. "Guys, come on!" Kida called out, "You're missing all the fun."


Outside HQ, it was a winter wonderland almost similar to the Far Frozen. Everywhere was snow, though part of the ground was frozen solid as SpongeTron, Crash, and Twitchy ice skated. Tommy and Timmy threw snowballs at each other. Junior and Tammy were making snow angels, but Buster just sat on the snow reading his comic.

Darry was confused. "But...what happened to the heat wave?"

"Your dad made snow for us and froze the ground so we can ice skate!" Crash answered, twirling around in the ice and skated away.

"Careful Crash!" Jimmy shouted out, "You might break something…" They hear a loud crash and the ice crackling as Jimmy, Darry, Tak, and Kida cringe as they see the accident. "...Again." he finished with a dull expression

"I'll get a medic," SpongeTron insisted before dashing off.

Darry looks around the winter playground for his family when he finds Yuki skating around, but Danny was clumsily trying to walk on the ice. "This is nice." Darry said with a smile until it dropped in disappointment. "I just wish I can do something like this for everyone. If only I still had that crystal Frostbite gave me."

But Jimmy held Darry's arms and turned him around, much to the discomfort of his sunburn. "Dar, I may not know much when it comes to ghost stuff, But I'll tell you this," Jimmy assured him in a friendly tone. "Everyone starts somewhere, even your father. In time, you'll develop more powers, maybe even some of your own."

Darry thought about this and looks back at his father, who kept falling off the ice as Yuki easily skated with her friends. Then Kida grabbed his hand and dragged him away. "Come on, Dar!" she shouted excitedly. "Let's have fun already!"

Once the two adults were alone, Tak asked, "You really think so, Jimmy?"

"Who knows?" Jimmy responded. "Darry may be Phantom's son, but he's still his own person. It may be possible for him to go above his limits of being one-quarter ghost. But if it were to happen, who knows when and if it will."

The End
