*shrieks with joy* Yay! Well, yay and no at the same time, because unfortunately, this story won't have many more chapters, but that's good for me… ish. I told you I was going somewhere with this! See I'm not all that boring! Um, forgive me because I've only seen The Ultimate Enemy once, so, yeah (I kinda got creeped out by it, cause I'm kinda squeamish…). And I am so so so sorry I noticed in my last author's note on the last chapter I made two mistakes! Here is the fixed version!

'So yeah, I know it's really short, but I felt like I had to stop there. I am probably going to start one or two more stories tonight and update. Um… keep reviewing! I will give you cyber cookies!

Thank you, reviewers! I'm up to nineteen! Here are your well deserved cookies!

ElenaxoxoSilber-okay, sorry for the shortness, but it was… um, well I don't know. Five sad lines? ACK! I CAN'T TELL YOU IF SHE'LL BE OKAY! Thank you for the compliment! Please do read more!

EmberMclain13-yay, cheers are awesome! So catchy! Did you say meep? OH NO! MY SISTER SAYS MEEP! RUN AWAAAYYY! What up with the eye twitches?

Idontknow742- thank you, and she is mine, also! Why she only got two episodes (and a cameo) I will never understand. She had great potential! *sobs loudly*

Meli31295-good guessing! I wondered if anyone would guess that it was him! Thanks for reviewing again! Loyal to the end! Mmm… cherries. Since you gave me cherries, I give you updates!

Disclaimer: Why can't I own Danny Phantom? Because I am not even twenty one, for that matter… but really? If I did own Danny Phantom, it would still air on Nick everyday, not just on Nicktoons. And for more than one hour.

Chapter 12: The Rescue

Danny's POV~first person

I stared in horror at my ultimate enemy. How could I let him overshadow my sister? He would probably kill her! Why did Clockwork have to interfere anyway? I could've done it just fine on my own. Before I could say anything, Clockwork drew out a charm and slung it over Dan's head. He immediately woke up.

"Ah, if it isn't me," he hissed, locking his red eyes with my green ones.

"I'm not going to fight you," I growled, getting up to my feet. All of a sudden, he thrashed around and screamed wildly. I even stepped back because the sight was so frightening. Clockwork withdrew a device from Dan's back that I'd never seen before, but I had a feeling that it caused a lot of pain to the victim.

"Behave! You must save the young boy's sister," Clockwork ordered.

"And why should I?"

I practically heard Danielle whispering the answer in my ear. "Number one, if you don't save her, she might not turn into you (A/N dunno how, but she does…), and number two, that… thingy," I told him, pointing to the gadget Clockwork gripped.

My evil counterpart considered this through. I knew that he was smart. "Alright, I will. But only because I want her to go evil, like me. Who knows?" he grinned, showing off that scary smile. I noticed that he didn't admit that the device had hurt him badly.

"Good. Come with me, Daniel," Clockwork gestured. I realized he was talking to me, since Dan had no choice but to follow. We flew up a couple of stories and phased into a window, leading into a white, sterile room. Lying on the hospital bed was my torn up sister. I raced to her bedside, turning human. She looked horrible. Tubes were stuck up her nose, into her arm, and bandages were closing up cuts everywhere. Black, blue, and yellow bruises were showing up. I wanted to act all tough, be the strong big brother, but tears welled up in my eyes and began falling onto the clean linen. The heart rate monitor was frozen mid-beep. I turned back to the two older ghosts.

"You'd better do it right," I muttered, unable to speak in a normal tone. Clockwork unchained Dan, and for a minute I thought my enemy was going to make a run for it. Instead, much to my surprise, he just rolled his eyes and quickly phased into my sister's limp body.

"I'll bring your family and friends up," Clockwork said apologetically. He knew the outcome of today. He knew if she was going to die or not. The anxiousness threatened to make me pass out.

"TIME IN!"

And just like that, Mom, Dad, Jazz, Sam, and Tucker replaced Clockwork with a flourish. They immediately started to chatter in confusion but fell silent when they saw Dani. The heart monitor began beeping slowly. Mom stepped over to her and ran a hand down her face, touching it gently.

"Is she…" she whispered.

"If you're talking about her being dead, not yet. If you're talking about her being Dani Phantom, then yes," I replied. The young girl twitched and a ring slowly formed around her waist. It took so long that it looked painful.

"He's doing it!" I shouted, running to the bedside. I know that I fear and hate you, but please work, I thought silently. The ring split in two and they began traveling their ways, so slowly. I was afraid that the plan wouldn't work.

"Who's 'he'?" Jazz inquired. I shooed her request away.

"I'll explain everything later," I said, not taking my eyes off of the slowly transforming Danielle. When the rings reached the top of her head and the bottom of her shoes, they disappeared. Now all I could do was wait. But then, my heart dropped to my stomach and I felt dizzy. Why?

The heart monitor let out a droning tone, signaling that her heart had stopped.

*GASPx1000000!* I don't know what I just wrote! *rereads story over again* Oh yeah! I made an evil cliffhanger! Not many more chapters left to go! I wonder where my wild brain will take me next for this story…

Poll time! Please answer in your reviews! Should Dani die or live or what? I need inspiration! Please be honest and don't say something jerky! One more thing, should there be one or two more chapters? I NEED HELP!

Now, please review while ElenaxoxoSilber, EmberMclain13, and meli31295 throw pans at me for making an evil cliffy!

*they begin throwing pans at me*

Okay-ow!-not-ow!-that-ow!-hard!-ow!

*they start to throw harder*

*I pass out and have to finish this author's note*

IhateDan. That's the truth.
