Disclaimer I don't own Danny Phantom. This is just a story for fun.
(Arthur's note: the Valerie from Dan's timeline will be referred to as Future Valerie so as not to get confused, when she meets her past counterpart. The same goes for Vlad, when they talk about past Vlad)
The heroes starred up at Arsenal Tech with both a mixture of fear and amazement on their faces. The huge mobile fortress stomped it's way towards the heroes in the direction of Amity.
"How...do we stop this thing?" Asked Dani.
Danny pulled out his communicator and called his parents.
"What is it Danny?" Asked Maddie.
"We have a serious problem, a technology ghost named Technus took over the factory. You remember that one time our house got taken over and turned into a mobile base and went on a rampage?" Said Danny.
"I do." Said Maddie.
"Well this is much worse. Technus created a computer virus that allows him to take over more machines and take over the factory. I need you to make an antivirus to use against Technus." Said Danny.
"Alright will whip up an antivirus, you just be careful." Said Maddie.
"I will. Love you mom." Said Danny.
"Love you to." Said Maddie.
Danny hung up his communicator and turned to his teammates.
"Here's the plan. My parents are making an antivirus to use against Technus. I need one of you to fly to the house and get it once their done. Once we have the antivirus will smash are way into the factory, find the main computer, plug in the antivirus, and shut Technus down." Said Danny.
"I'll go my jet board the fastest thing here." Said Valerie.
"Good luck." Said Danny as Valerie flew off as fast as her jet board could go.
The three heroes turned towards the massive mobile base. They watched as it started producing possessed Invisibility Suits, Ecto-Skeletons, and tanks. Off in the distance a large group of Guys in White were heading towards the factory with tanks, planes, and helicopters.
"Looks like a wars fixing to take place." Said Dani.
The heroes watched as a bunch of the possessed machines charged towards the Guys in White. A huge battle began between the two armies.
"Ok the plan is to keep big tall and ugly distracted by any means. Were going to attack the legs and anything else that looks vulnerable." Said Danny.
"Sounds good." Said Future Valerie.
"Lets show this over size tin can not to mess with our town." Said Dani.
The three heroes charged at the factory dodging and flying past all the lasers and missiles it fired at them. Danny went up to one leg and started freezing a part of it, when it was frozen Danny slammed his fist into and smashed it to bits! A screen with a skull on it glared at Danny.
"You think you can stop the mighty Technus!" Shouted the skull as several turrets aimed their weapons at Danny.
"Your not the only one who can shout." Said Danny as he unleashed his Ghostly Wail.
The sound wave shattered the screen and caused the turrets to either explode or go haywire. The turrets that went haywire started to blast other turrets or the factory itself! Chunks of the factory fell off.
"You like the redecorating I'm doing?" Asked Danny.
"Don't get cocky! I will crush you!" Shouted another screen skull.
"You have to catch me first!" Shouted Danny as he flew off to attack another segment of the factory.
On another side of the factory Dani and Future Valerie were using teamwork. Dani would fly by the legs and blast a hole in them, while Future Valerie flew behind her with a grenade launcher and fire grenades into the holes. The grenades exploded destroying a huge segment of the legs. Arsenal Tech shot it's other legs out to keep itself balanced. Dani and Future Valerie flew to the top of the factory where they meet up with Danny.
"Lets do some damage up here." Called Danny.
Dani and Future Valerie nodded. The heroes flew around and started attacking the screens and turrets on top of the roof. Deep with the factory Technus glared at a computer screen that showed the heroes attacking the roof.
"So they think they can just fly around and wreck my base? I'll let my minions deal with them." Said Technus as he pushed a button on the computer.
On the factory roof a hole opened up and several possessed Invisibility Suits and Ecto-Skeletons flew out to attack the heroes. Danny and Dani charged forward blasting the possessed machines as Future Valerie attacked the possessed machines from above, but for every one they cut down more took their place. Soon Danny and Dani were back to back surrounded by the machines.
"They're to many of them!" Cried Dani.
"Don't worry I have an idea. I hear you can do the Ghostly Wail now. Can you do it now?" Said Danny.
"I can do it, but not very well. I'm still getting used to it." Said Dani.
"It will have to do. Lock your arms together with mine and get ready to unleash the Ghostly Wail." Said Danny.
"Ok." Said Dani.
"Whatever your planing it will fail miserably against my might!" Laughed Technus's from all the possessed machines.
"Man I'm going to enjoy shouting this guy up." Said Dani.
"Me to." Said Danny as the two Phantoms locked arms together.
They started spinning and unleashing the Ghostly Wail! A look of total shock appeared on all the possessed machines as they were smashed to pieces by the powerful attack. The powerful attack flew across the roof destroying the screens and turrets. After a few minutes the Phantoms stopped spinning and collapsed to the ground exhausted.
"That...was awesome!" Said Dani.
"Yeah. Whew that took...a lot out of me." Said Danny.
"I'll admit...that attack took me by surprise, but it has exhausted your energy. Now I will destroy you!" Shouted Technus's voice as a damaged Ecto-Skeleton with a hole on the top of it's domed head sprung out of a pile of destroyed machines and headed towards the down heroes.
"Hey tin head, you forgot about me!" Shouted Future Valerie as she flew in from above and threw a grenade at the Ecto-Skeleton.
The grenade flew right through the hole on the Ecto-Dkeletons head and went inside the machine. A look of panic appeared on the possessed machines face as it desperately reached into it's body to try and retrieve the explosive, but failed.
"Oh crud." Said the possessed machine as it exploded into pieces.
"Hole in one!" Cheered Future Valerie.
"Great save." Said Danny.
"Your were awesome." Said Dani.
"Fools! It will only take me a matter of minutes to repair the damage to this base and send out a fresh batch of minions to destroy you!" Declared Technus's voice.
Before anyone could say anything there was a loud roaring sound. All the heroes looked up to see a fleet of white jets armed with missiles heading towards the base.
"Looks like there's fixing to be some fireworks. We better get off of this thing." Said Danny as he quickly grabbed Dani and took off from the roof.
Future Valerie flew after them as the jets fired their missiles. The missiles slammed into the factory with a tremendous explosion blasting holes into it, knocking it to the ground and on it's side. Inside Technus nearly fell over. He glared at the screen the veins bulging in his head as he gritted his teeth, then he took a deep breath and let out a chuckle that turned into a mad burst of insane laughter!
"They think they won, the poor fools! They may have damaged this version of my base, but I have a little trick up my sleeve. It's time for an upgrade!" Declared Technus as he pushed another button.
The machines of the assembly line quickly whipped up more minions that were quickly sent outside the factory. On the outside the heroes watched as swarms of machines flew out and gathered on the right and left side of the factory in a weird formation.
"What are they up to?" Thought Danny.
"Get ready for the next level!" Shouted Technus's voice.
Everybody watched as all the machines started to fuse together to form two massive arms that attached themselves to the factory! The arms help push the factory off the ground as some other machines appeared and started fixing the damage. A bunch of screens on the roof merged together to form one massive screen that displayed a giant green and red skull.
"BEHOLD ARSENAL TECH TITAN VERSION 3!" Boomed Technus's voice.
"Things just got a whole lot worse." Said Danny as he and the other heroes starred at the mechanical titan before them.
The massive machine raised one of it's arms glowing with energy and aimed it at the white jets that were flying by. The arm released a massive bast of green energy that blasted all the jets out of the sky, luckily the pilots had seen the attack coming and ejected from their jets before the blast hit the planes.
"I hope Valerie comes back with that antivirus soon." Said Dani as they watched the factory start making it's way forward.
At the Fenton house Jack, Maddie, and Future Vlad had just finished making the antivirus, when Valerie showed up.
"Your just in time, we just finished up the antivirus." Said Maddie as she handed Valerie a flash drive.
"Thanks." Said Valerie as she took the flash drive and took off.
Back at the battle things were not looking good. Several Guys in White tanks, planes, and helicopters were blasting away at Arsenal Tech, but the giant machine just kept moving forward swatting and blasting all the vehicles as if they were mere insects. Even the attacks from Danny, Dani, and Future Valerie had very little affect on the giant machine. Technus had apparently upgraded the armor on the factory.
"Man this is hopeless!" Cursed Future Valerie.
"The only way to stop this thing is to go inside and attack Technus, but we need the antivirus to destroy the Takeover Virus, because even if we defeat Technus the factory would still go on a rampage." Said Danny.
"Special delivery! One antivirus coming right up!" Called Valerie as she flew up to the other heroes and handed Danny the antivirus.
"Thanks now it's time to take the fight to Technus." Said Danny as he lead the group to the top of the factory.
Danny grabbed Valerie's hand and went intangible, while Dani grabbed Future Valerie's hand and went intangible. The group flew through the roof and into the factory. They became visible once they reached the factory floor. They all looked around in amazement as a assembly line produce machine after machine. Suddenly they heard somebody clapping everybody looked up to see Technus floating above them grinning.
"Well you finally arrived. If you come to surrender then I promise to make your deaths quick and painless." Said Technus.
"No were not here to surrender, were here to shut you down and put you out of business for good." Said Danny.
"As if you could! Even if you defeat me, my virus would still control the factory and it would still go on a rampage! There's no way you can stop my brilliant plan!" Laughed Technus.
"You know despite how powerful your are right now, one thing still remains the same. Your still have a huge ego and you underestimate your opponents!" Declared Danny.
"Ha! Sticks and stones. I'm going to have my head of security deal with you." Said Technus as he snapped his fingers.
Skulker became tangible by Technus's side, before charging forward to attack the heroes. A tentacle shot forward and slammed into Dani, Valerie, and Future Valerie throwing into a wall. Skulker then shot his arm missiles out and grabbed Danny. The arms slammed Danny into the celling before slamming him into the ground. The arms let go of Danny and reattached themselves to Skulker.
"Never pictured you working for Technus Skulker." Said Danny as he stumbled to his feet.
Skulker didn't reply.
"What's the matter your armor on mute?" Asked Danny.
"In a matter of speaking yes. When he found what I was planning, he tried to stop me, but unfortunate for him I left a little control device in his chest now his my puppet! He wouldn't stop complaining and making threats, so I put his armor on mute! That should teach him not to challenge the might and intellect of Technus!" Gloated Technus.
"Thanks for telling me an important part of your plan." Said Danny as he charged at Skulker.
"Your welcome." Said Technus with a smile. It took him a few seconds to realize what he'd done. "Wait what?!"
Skulker shot his tentacles at Danny, who dodged them and got close to Skulker's main body. Danny made his arm intangible and rammed it into Skulker's chest, he then made his hand tangible and fleet around before his hand grabbed something round. Danny made his hand intangible as he yanked it out holding a tiny spider like device with a T on it.
"It looks like you just lost your head of security." Said Danny as he crushed the device.
Skulker looked down at Danny.
"You have my thanks Phantom. Your were right about Technus's treachery. Allow me to help you beat him." Said Skulker as he turned to glare up at Technus.
"Uh oh." Said Technus as he turned around and tried to fly away.
One of Skulker's tentacles shot out and grabbed Technus by the leg slamming him into the ground! Skulker started dragging Technus towards him. Technus pulled out a long silver staff and smashed the tentacle to pieces with it. The technology ghost shot to his feet to see that Dani, Valerie, and Future Valerie had rejoined the fight.
"Ha! Skulker teaming up with Phantom to fight me. Fine Skulker your fired from your job! I don't need you anymore anyway! I have plenty of help right here!" Shouted Technus as he slammed his staff into the ground unleashing a shock wave of green lightning.
Every machine in the factory turned to face the intruders and the former head of security. Technus flew into the air and started to head back towards the office laughing.
The heroes and Skulker stood in a circle surrounded by possessed machines.
"Hey Skulker I'm looking for the main computer of this factory. Do you know where it is?" Said Danny.
"It's in the office that Technus went into. Also Ember's being held in there." Said Skulker.
"Don't worry I'll stop Technus and rescue Ember. I just need you to clear the way a bit so I can do it." Said Danny.
"Leave it to me." Said Skulker as he fired several laser blast from his tentacles taking out several machines giving Danny a clear path.
Danny flew through the opening, he went intangible and went into the officer, where he found Technus at a large computer and Ember tied up.
"Nice office." Said Danny.
Technus spun around to face Danny.
"And still you insist on stopping me, but today is the day I shall taste victory!" Declared Technus as he pulled out his staff and swung at Danny.
Danny ducked the swing and delivered a powerful punch to Technus knocking him back and making him crash into a wall in a dazed heap. Danny fired a tiny energy blast freeing Ember, who managed to stagger to her feet, she went intangible and floated out of the office. Danny turned towards the computer and plugged the flash drive in. A cartoon face of Jack appeared.
"Lets cure this computer of deadly ghost viruses." Said the cartoon Jack as it went to work.
The antivirus took affect immediately. The factory started changing back towards it's normal colors along with all the machines. The skull faces on the machines and screen let out a scream as the antivirus deleted them. On the outside of the factory the arms, tentacles, and head fell off, as the factory landed on the ground with a thud. In a matter of minutes the virus was deleted and the factory and machines were back to normal.
Inside the office Technus stumbled to his feet glaring at Danny.
"I will destroy!" Shouted Technus as he charged at Danny.
"Game Over." Said Danny as he unleashed a Ghostly Wail and sent Technus smashing through the office wall to land on the factory floor below.
Danny floated down towards the factory floor, he caught Skulker carrying Ember as they went intangible and escaped. Danny pulled out the Fenton Thermos and pointed it at Technus and sucked him up.
"Alright now that that's done lets head home before the Guys in White show up." Said Danny.
"Sounds like a good idea." Said Dani.
The two Phantoms each grabbed a hunter, went intangible, and flew out of the factory.
Elsewhere in the Ghost Zone Eyeuran was putting up his equipment, he had just finished making the enhancements to Sam and Tucker.
"With these new enhancements they'll crush Danny and his group like flies. The master would love to see them." Said Eyeuran as he opened a ghost portal. "But first I must retrieve those new recruits the master wanted."
Eyeuran went into the portal and vanished.
