First thing I wanna do is remind people that this entire story is NOT to be considered part of my fake season four story line. It is the original version of the updated version which can be seen on my profile. Anything read in this story should NOT be considered part of the story line I have written, even if some elements have been carried over into the other stories.
From this point forward, you should also take into account that Danny's friendship with my OC Kim is staying just that, they are remaining friends in the updated version. Kim no longer has feelings for Danny and so therefore no romantic relationship will EVER happen between them. As much as I support DannyxOC, I'm trying to keep my stories as close to the original episodes as possible, which includes keeping Danny's relationship with Sam intact.
The fight between the Phantom Siblings and their clones will be retained, albeit with some alterations to the fight sequence. That along with the first jump through time will be retained in the future update of this story.
Chapter 8- Attack of the Evil Alter Ego's:
A beam of swirling blue light is shot into the air, engulfing a red ecto-energy ball. The attack was sucked into a Fenton Thermos being wielded by Jack before he lowers it to his side. He then raised the Fenton Peeler blaster and fired at Vlad.
Plasmius easily dodged it and flew down to punch Jack. Even though Jack was armored thanks to the Fenton Peeler, he was knocked back into the brick wall of the castle with a grunt. "He dodged too quickly," he wheezed as he slid to the floor.
"Did you seriously think you even stood a chance against me you buffoon?" Vlad asked mockingly before he hears the hum of an ecto-blaster. He turns to face the green glow of the ecto-blaster as it was being charged to fire.
"Dodge this," Sam challenged before she pulled the trigger, firing a bright green beam of energy directly into his face, blasting him through the wall Jack had crashed into before.
He went through the wall leaving a hole behind. A few pink ecto-blasts come through the hole before an angered Vlad stands up in the hole as he continued firing ecto-blasts.
Maddie jumps onto the wall and runs a few steps as she is fired at before jumping back to the ground. She rolls to a stop and aims a Fenton Bazooka at him before she fires.
Vlad reacted by raising his hands and created an ecto-barrier that reflected the attack back at Maddie. The attack was about to hit her but Ron grabbed her and pulled her out of the way. It exploded on the floor, leaving behind a hole into a lower level.
After pulling her out of the way, he reached down to her belt and grabbed an ecto-grenade and pulled the pin before throwing it in Vlad's direction.
"Oh please," Vlad mocked as he flew through the air directly at them. He caught the grenade and tossed it over his shoulder.
It landed on the floor at Jack's feet as he got to his feet. "Hmm, what's this?" he asked himself as he picked it up and examined it. Suddenly it exploded covering him in a thick layer of ecto-plasmic goop that started dripping off and onto the floor. "Nobody makes a fool out of Jack Fenton!" he yelled angrily.
"Odd, because I think I just did," Vlad said with a smirk before he dove for Jack who retaliated by lifting his fists to reveal he was wearing the Fenton Gauntlets. Vlad gasped before Jack nailed him in the face sending him flying across the room and into a display case filled with Packers memorabilia. He stood up and growled angrily as his eyes flashed red.
"Eat this!" Tucker yelled as he got down on one knee and balanced a Fenton Bazooka on his shoulder and aimed at Vlad. It hummed loudly before he fired a large ball of green energy at him.
Vlad reacted quickly reacted by picking up a football signed by Ray Nitschke and threw it at him. He was hit by the blast and knocked back into the remnants of the display case, destroying whatever was left.
At the same time the football he threw got lodged in the barrel of the bazooka just as Tucker was about to fire again. When he fired, the resulting explosion banana peeled the barrel of the bazooka and covered Tucker in a fine layer of soot. "What is this, a cartoon?" Tucker asked himself angrily as he tossed the destroyed weapon to the floor.
"You'd be surprised," Vlad said with a smirk as he stood up and brushed broken glass of his shoulder. He then took off into the air and hovered over all of the others as they looked up at him. "I need to take all of you out now, this is getting way too boring for me," he said in a slightly bored tone. "Here's a little trick I learned from Daniel," he said with a smirk before he took in a deep breath.
"What's he doing?" Tucker asked in a fearful tone.
"I don't know, but I don't think it's a good thing," Sam said in the same fearful tone. "Everybody get down!" she yelled as she dove for the floor.
Vlad exhaled and unleashed a ghostly wail of pink ecto-energy. The piercing sound waves lifted everyone off the floor and pounded them into a wall, shattering glass display cases and windows. Vlad let off the attack and grinned at his victims.
"How did he learn that attack?" Tucker asked weakly to no one in particular. "I thought that was Danny's attack."
"It is," Sam responded. "I didn't think he could use that one. There's got to be some explanation."
"Something tells me there is a reason, and that we aren't going to like it," Ron said as they all slid to the floor and out of view.
The moon shined brightly over Vlad's castle as Danny floated over the forest quite some distance away. He tightened his fists as Danielle flew up next to him. "Why did you stop?" Danielle asked as she stopped and floated alongside him. "Our family is only right over there," she said as she pointed at the castle. "And who knows what Vlad's doing to them right now."
"Probably using them as bait until we come to get them," Danny figured. He started looking around for someone in the trees below them. "Wulf's gotta be catching up with Jazz and Kim soon shouldn't he?" he asked as he scratched his head.
Below them Wulf was running through the underbrush with Jazz and Kim clinging to the fur on the back of his neck. He phased them through a tree that he was unable to run around. "I don't know how much more of this I can take!" Jazz yelled upon Wulf returning them to their normal physical state after passing through the tree.
"Then I suppose we should get Wulf to stop for a moment," Kim suggested. "We've got to be almost there by now."
"Well you're the only one that can talk to him!" Jazz yelled to her.
Kim glared slightly before she pulled herself up to Wulf's ear so he could hear her. *"Pensas ni povus halti kaj preni rompiĝo anytime baldaŭ?" she yelled into his ear.
*Think we could stop and take a break anytime soon?
Wulf perked his ears up and stopped running. They slid on the ground as he dug his hind feet into the ground leaving a trail in the dirt behind them. Jazz and Kim dropped from his back and collapsed to the ground as they fought to catch their breath.
Wulf knelt down next to them and with one swift lick, left both of their faces covered with green ecto-plasmic slime. "This is so disgusting," Kim said in a disgusted tone as she shivered slightly.
The three of them looked up as Danny and Danielle descended through the trees and landed on the ground a short distance away. "We aren't that far away now," Danny informed them. "You girls ready to fight for our family and friends freedom all while fending off Plasmius, those evil clones he made of us and the other ghosts that are helping him?" he asked in a single breath. "I hate these long-winded questions," he scolded himself.
"Well, we're as ready as we're ever gunna be," Jazz said as she held up a Fenton Peeler she had gotten from their house before they came this way. She activated it and covered herself in shiny metal armor.
Kim pressed a button on her bracelet and covered herself with the red ghost hunting suit given to her by Valerie. "We don't really have a choice. Either we fight and beat Vlad now or the entire planet is going to suffer until there is nothing left."
"Alright then, let's get going," Danny said as he turned and prepared to take flight, but Wulf grabbed him by his arm and held him in place. "Wulf! What are you doing!?" he asked the ghost dog, but he was too busy sniffing the air.
*"Ni havas firmaon," he whispered in a frightened tone causing Danny and Kim to look around scared.
*We have company.
"What, what did he say!?" Danielle said as she too started looking around frantically, not knowing what they were looking for.
"We're not alone," Kim said fearfully before all five of them were suddenly surrounded by a glowing red ring of ecto-energy. "And now we're trapped," she said sourly.
"Umm guys," Jazz said nervously as she pointed into the darkness passed the red ring of energy. The others looked in the direction she was pointing and tensed up when Dark Danny walked into the moon light from underneath a tree.
"Well well well; look what we have here," he said with an evil grin. "Father is going to be most pleased when we bring all of you in."
"Over my dead body!" Kim yelled. She raised an ecto-gun and fired at Danny's evil clone, but the attack bounced off the red energy ring and was deflected back at her, hitting her in the stomach and knocking her to the ground. "Can't send attacks to the outside of the ring…great, now what?"
"Live and learn I guess," Jazz said as she helped her to her feet.
"Maybe our weapons can't get us through, but I know a ghost that can claw his way through a ghost shield," Danny said with a grin as he looked at Wulf.
Wulf grinned, showing off his sharp teeth as he extended his green claws. He charged for the ring of energy and roared as he leaped for it. As he brought his claws down on the energy, bolts of red electricity passed from the ring of energy straight into his claws. He yelped in agony as he the energy passed through his body.
When the electricity stopped, his fur was smoking and the bases of his claws were leaking green blood. He fell back into a sitting position and started licking his claws clean of the ghost blood.
"Well that didn't quite work out as planned," Danny said before his evil clone started laughing.
"You actually thought that mutt would be able to slash his way out of a trap I created myself? Please; now if you would all be so kind, we'd like to take you in."
"Not gunna happen dude," Danny said sternly. "If you're a clone of me, then you should know full well that I'm not gunna go without a fight!"
"That's why we will be bringing you in by force," he said with a grin before he saluted the four teens and Wulf. "God-Speed Phantom's."
Before they could react, the ground around all five of them started glowing pink. "YAAAAAAH!" they all screamed as the ground suddenly exploded with energy, engulfing them and sending them flying as a beam of energy erupted from the ground.
The energy beam gradually disappeared and Dark Dani flew up out of the hole in the ground and landed across from her brother. "Father told us to have fun with them but to not kill them, not bring them to him!" she scolded him with a hiss.
"Oh alright," he huffed. "I guess we could beat on them for a little while."
High up in the air, Danielle caught Jazz and Kim while Danny caught Wulf. They hovered in the air as they took a breather after being attacked from beneath. "Cowards!" Danielle yelled as they all looked at the ground where the two clones could be seen standing next to the hole.
Suddenly they disappeared in puffs of swirling smoke. "Where'd they go!?" Jazz screamed as her eyes bugged out.
"If passed experience has taught me anything…"Danny said as he turned around to look behind them. "It's that our enemies like to come up from behind," he mentioned as he glared at the evil clones.
They snickered to themselves as Danielle turned so she Jazz and Kim could see them as well. "Why does that not surprise me?" Danielle asked in a surprised tone as she lowered her eyebrows.
Danny suddenly felt something push off from his back. "Wulf! No!" he yelled after the ghost dog after he pushed himself off Danny's back with his hind legs. He extended his claws and roared as he lunged for the two Dark Phantom's.
They both glanced at each other before they grinned evilly. They both took in deep breaths and exhaled with Ghostly Wails, only they were more like Vortex's Ghostly Screech rather than Danny and Danielle's Ghostly Wails.
Wulf covered his ears and closed his eyes as he strained to keep himself floating in the air as he was pummeled by the high pitched sound waves.
Danny did the same as did Jazz and Kim. Danielle was holding Jazz and Kim so had to suffer hearing the blistering noise as her ear drums rattled. They were all hit by the attack and sent flying backwards from the power of the attack. They all flew directly towards Vlad's castle as they fell from the sky.
Inside the castle, Vlad was holding an exhausted Jack as pieces of the Fenton Peeler started to break and fall off. The armor covering his right arm and leg as well as parts of his torso had been torn away.
Across the room, a Vlad duplicate had Maddie, Sam and Tucker tied up with ecto-energy and was about to chase after Ron and his parents when an explosion is heard.
They look up to see Jack fly over them and crash into a wall before falling to the floor in a heap. "Never expected things to end like this," he wheezed before he collapsed from exhaustion.
"It would seem that I have beaten all of you," Vlad said with a grin as he fused back with his duplicate. "None of you can stand a chance against me, I'll just have to wait for Daniel to get here. Perhaps he will give me a bit more of a challenge than all of you."
Then right on cue another explosion is heard. Everyone gasped and looked up to see a gaping hole in the roof. Flashes of colors came through the hole and crashed into the floor, forming a crater.
At the center of the crater were four teens and a giant wolf dog. Vlad descended from the air and landed next to the edge of the crater and snickered as he looked at the intruders. "I was expecting you to do something like this Daniel," Vlad said in a welcoming tone as Danny pushed Jazz off of him and stood up.
He flew up and landed across the crater from Vlad. "Which is why we came prepared to fight you Plasmius," he informed the evil specter.
Danielle jumped out of the hole and spun in the air before landing next to her brother. She firmly planted her feet on the ground as she took a battle stance. "And we won't be taken advantage of so easily like last time," she warned him.
"Is that so?" Vlad asked in interest as a shadow appeared behind him. His evil grin disappeared before he turned to see Cujo growling in his face. He barked loudly before he jumped at Vlad who smirked before turning intangible so the giant ghost dog simply passed through him.
Cujo yelped as he fell into the crater and crashed into the wall underneath Danny and Danielle. He slid down to the bottom of the hole until he came face to face with Wulf.
Both Ghost dogs growled at each other ferociously, then Wulf extended his claws in a threatening way. Cujo stopped growling and was wide eyed. He shrunk to his puppy form and ran off yelping in terror.
Wulf watched as the little ghost ran off terrified. He was too confused to figure out what just happened and simply scratched his head before shrugging his shoulders.
He turned to look up at Vlad and growled, showing his teeth as his eyes started glowing bright green. He lunged for Vlad who duplicated himself. He and his duplicate each grabbed one of his paws and pulled them behind the ghost dog.
He fused back into one Plasmius so he was holding both of Wulf's paws behind him. His hands started glowing with pink energy before he tied Wulf's paws together.
Wulf struggled to get free, but was unsuccessful. As he tried to get away, Vlad formed ecto-rope and wrapped it around Wulf's feet, tying them together as well.
Wulf yelped as Vlad pulled him back with one swift swing and threw him to the ground. Vlad jumped onto his back and tied his feet to his hands so he was hog tied. He then grabbed the ecto-ropes and spun Wulf in circles before releasing him, sending flying across the room and into a wall, shaking loose dust from the entire castle.
"WULF!" Danny yelled out to his friend. He took flight and flew over the crater to help his friend, but he was stopped when Vlad grabbed him by his ankle. He only laughed evilly as he swung him around and threw him at his friends.
Sam and Tucker, who were still tied by ecto-rope, screamed as Danny flew straight at them. He crashed into them and opened his eyes to find himself lying on top of Sam in an unusual position. He pushed himself up onto his hands and knees as he looked down at Sam and looked into her violet eyes as she looked into his.
"Danny/Sam!?" they said to each other in unison before ecto-rope was wrapped around Danny's waste. He was pulled off Sam and pulled back to Vlad who grabbed him by his arms and held him in front of him. "What are you gunna do, waste me?" Danny asked in a rude manner.
"That sounds like a marvelous idea," Vlad said with a smirk before he threw him high into the air. He fired an energy attack at Danny as he struggled against the binding Vlad put around him.
Just before the attack hit, Danielle flew between it and him. She was glowing bright blue and her hair had turned into ice. She raised her hands over her head as they started glowing with freezing energy.
She brought her fists down on the energy attack, freezing it and sending it back down at Vlad who was startled by this counter-attack.
"YAAAAH!" he screamed as the frozen ball of energy slammed into his gut, sending him crashing into the floor, sending dust and ruble in every direction.
As Danielle helped Danny get the binding off from around his arms and waist, Kim and Jazz helped get the bindings off their friends and family. Sam was the last one to be freed by Kim who helped her to her feet.
They smiled slightly to each other before they gasped and looked up as ecto-attacks hit the ground around them.
Danielle was now dodging attacks as Vlad gave chase to her. "Hold still so I can kill you!" he demanded as he shot ecto-rays at her.
Danielle flew sideways to dodge the attack and turned so she was flying backwards. She didn't respond with words, instead she stopped flying and put her hands together at her side and formed an energy ball that sparked to life in a flash.
She brought her hands forward and sent a large beam of energy at Vlad hitting him and sending him crashing into the floor.
Danielle let off her attack and lowered her arms. She was none the wiser as Dark Danny and Dark Dani became visible behind her. They grabbed her arms and snickered as she gasped and screamed.
They twisted her arms behind her and threw her across the room, sending her crashing into Tucker. They rolled to a stop with her on top of him. "I'm getting tired of these guys sneaking up on me from behind," she said as her evil clone walked up and stood over her.
"This will be the end of you," she hissed as she raised her left arm into the air and formed an energy ball that pulsated.
"YAAAH!" Danielle and Tucker screamed as they grabbed each other. They closed their eyes and waited for the inevitable. They reopened their eyes again when they heard the evil clone screaming in agony.
Danny was now standing over them and his eyes were solid green while his hands continued letting off a green mist. They looked over to see the clone clutching its shoulder as green blood seeped through her fingers.
She was stumbling around as her brother came down next to her and removed her hand so he could see the damage. Danny had unleashed an attack powerful enough to sever her arm clean off at the shoulder. "It's not that bad," Dark Danny said with a grin as he looked over at Danny as he stood in front of his sister and best friend.
"You will pay for that," Dark Dani said as she turned and scowled at him.
"With one arm?" Danny mocked. "That'll be kinda hard don't you think?"
Dark Dani's scowl turned into an evil grin as bubbles of ecto-plasm formed at her shoulder and grew out a few feet before reforming her arm. "Good as new," she hissed before lowering her arm back to her side.
"But…how…how did she do that?" Ron asked. He was dumbfounded. Jazz and Kim were standing on either side of him and had their mouths hanging open.
"She regenerated herself," Jazz stated as Sam's memory sparked.
"But that's only something that undergrowth could do," Sam informed everyone that didn't know. "How is it that they can?" she asked no one in particular, but Vlad decided he'd answer.
"It's quite simple actually," he said as he descended from the air and landed behind the clones as they folded their arms. "They have more than just our DNA in them. I've been experimenting with Genetic Manipulation and have added genes from other ghosts into their being to make them even more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
"They have genes from other ghosts?" Danielle asked in a confused tone. "Wouldn't that make them look different than just evil versions of us?" she asked Danny who shrugged his shoulders in response.
"That is because I didn't introduce physical genes into them, only dormant ones that controlled their powers," Vlad informed her. "Undergrowth's ability to regenerate after being damaged, Vortex's ability to control weather, Technus' ability to manipulate technology, Skulker's hunting skills and quick wit as well as intelligence, Amorpho's ability to change their physical appearance into that of any person and Bertrand's ability to take the form of anything else," he finished.
The evil clones showed they had this last power by changing their forms to look just like Danny and Danielle in their human forms only they had red eyes and sharp teeth. They returned to their Darker Ghost forms immediately afterward.
"With all of these powers at their disposal they are the most powerful ghosts to ever exist," Vlad finished with an evil grin.
"If they're so powerful, then how come they don't rebel against you?" Danny asked, cocking an eyebrow at the clones as if giving them an idea.
"Impossible Daniel," Vlad retaliated. "The mind controlling bacteria that I injected into them, courtesy of Youngblood, allows me to maintain control over them. They can and never will turn on me and will always obey my every command."
"Great, so they're pretty much indestructible?" Danny said in the form of a question despite not actually asking it. "We've always found a way to stop you Plasmius, we'll find a way to do it again."
"I'd highly doubt that boy," Vlad stopped him. "For you see, not only have I introduced these ghostly genes into their DNA, but I have also altered my own ever so slightly."
"What have you done to yourself?" Danielle asked demandingly.
"I took some of your DNA Daniel," Vlad said with a smirk as he acknowledged Danny. "And introduced it into my own being. It wasn't all of your DNA, just one specific gene that I found gave me a special power that you like to call...The Ghostly Wail," he finished with a grin.
"You can do a Ghostly Wail now!?" Danny asked frightfully as he took a few steps back.
"Yes he can," Tucker said. "He used it on us not too long ago," he informed his friend.
Danny looked up at his enemy and growled at him. "I don't care if you did steal that power from me, I will still beat you into the ground Plasmius," he threatened. "All of you!" he finished indicating the two clones standing behind Vlad.
"Not if they have anything to say about it," Vlad said before he snapped his fingers. Dark Danny and Dark Dani grinned evilly as they stepped forward and increased their power, increasing the intensity of their flaming hair.
"I don't like the looks of this," Tucker said before he covered his head with his arms.
A view from outside the castle shows bright pink light flash through all of the windows before Danny and Danielle were blasted through one of the larger windows and into a tree. "I'm getting tired of these guys," Danielle said in an annoyed tone. "Think we can beat them by ourselves?"
"Negative! Incoming!" Danny yelled as two beams of Ecto-energy came straight for them. He grabbed Danielle and flew away with her just before the two beams of energy struck the tree, setting it ablaze.
They both flew up over the burning tree and used their freeze powers to settle the flames. The tree froze over as the flames died off. "Way too close," Danielle said as they let off on freezing the tree solid. "We've got to come up with some sort of plan to beat these guys."
"I know, I know," Danny said hesitantly as their evil clones flew up in front of them. "They have all the best ghost powers we know of. They are going to be impossible to beat without some sort of help."
"If only you two were stronger," Dark Danny mocked as his and his sister's hands started sparking with electricity. "Then you might stand a chance."
"Of course no matter how much stronger you get you would still get pummeled into the ground," Dark Dani informed them before they both unleashed the static charges they had built up.
"YAAH!" they both screamed in terror before they dove for the ground to dodge the bolts. The Dark Phantom's fly over to where Danny and Dani once floated and dove after them.
Back at the castle, Vlad stood in the doorway as he watched his clones fighting the original Phantom's. "I can't stand here and watch them get killed!" Jazz yelled as she ran passed Vlad and down the driveway to where the four Phantoms where fighting.
"Jazz wait!" Kim yelled as she gave chase to her. She stopped and took a glance back at Vlad. "You make me sick," she said angrily before she turned and continued chasing Jazz into the fight.
"Hmm, this should be good," Vlad said with a smirk before the view switched over to Danielle putting up an energy barrier to deflect an energy attack that was strong enough to break through anyway.
The energy hit the ground inside the energy dome and exploded, sending Danielle flying backwards into Danny who was trying to hold off Dark Dani. She slammed into him knocking him back with her.
"I thank you for the assistance," Dark Dani hissed with delight. She floated up into the air and flew in the direction they both flew in. She hovered over them as they recovered from hitting the ground. "You two are so weak," she hissed as her brother flew down and landed next to her.
"We should think about eliminating them so they won't be a bother to father any longer," Dark Danny suggested to his sis who grinned in approval.
She formed an energy ball in her hand and aimed it for the Phantom siblings. "This should be strong enough to finish them both for good," she sneered before an anti-ghost gun was fired at her. "YAAAH!" she screamed as she was blasted away after being hit in the head by the attack.
"What!? But who!?" Dark Danny yelled as he watched his sister crash into the ground some distance away. "Are you all right sis?" he yelled to her before he heard the hum of a Fenton Bazooka behind him. His eyes widened before he turned to see Kim aiming the Fenton Bazooka right at him.
"Get away from them!" she yelled before she pulled the trigger. The blast was close range and strong enough to blast a hole straight through his abdomen, sending him flying backwards. "Yes! Direct hit," she cheered before she got a worried look on her face.
Dark Danny stumbled backward and regained his footing. "Sorry Kimmy," he said with a grin before the hole closed up as he regenerated himself. "But you're forgetting that I've got the powers to make myself invincible."
He looked over at Dark Dani as she stood up. The blast that had hit her in the head hadn't destroyed her head; it had only split it in half down to her neck. The two halves fused back together to make her whole. "You're gunna pay for that," she hissed angrily.
She flew up next to her brother and they both started growling as Danny and Dani stood up between them and Kim. "Ghost hunting weapons have no effect on these guys Kim," Danny informed her as he slowly walked backwards pushing her with him.
"Tell that to her," Danielle said as she pointed into the air above them.
"What!?" Danny yelled as he looked up to what she was pointing at. Jazz had jumped over them with a front flip and landed between them and the Dark Phantom clones. "Jazz back away from them!" he yelled to her.
She didn't respond to him. She pressed the activation button with her thumb and covered herself in the shiny metal armor. It had been deactivated when they crashed into Vlad's mansion. She aimed the gun and fired at the Dark Phantom's.
They both rolled their eyes and sighed as they were engulfed in the bright green light, having their outer layers stripped away like a banana peel until there was nothing left of them. "That took care of them," she said proudly before blowing away the smoke being emitted by the barrel of the Fenton Peeler.
"Jazz!" Danny yelled as he grabbed her by her arm and spun her around so she was looking at him. "I just got done telling Kim that these weapons won't work on them because they can regenerate remember!" he reminded her.
"Oh…ya," she said with a nervous gulp before she turned around to see two blobs of ecto-plasm forming where the two Dark Phantom's once stood. They formed into Dark Danny and Dark Dani, and they were not happy.
"I'm getting very annoyed with these weakling humans and their fable attempts to destroy us when it is clear that we will defeat them," Dark Dani hissed angrily. Their eyes started glowing pure red as electricity sparked from their hands.
"Brace yourselves!" Danny said as he and Danielle put up an energy barrier together so it was twice as thick and twice as strong. The evil clones unleashed a ferocious attack on them. Plasma licked at the air around the barrier as they were pushed backward.
The barrier started to crack and eventually gave way as the energy shattered it like glass. The four teens were blown backwards into a parked limo outside of the castle.
As they lay on the ground next to the smoking limo, the cloned Phantom's flew up and hovered over them. "Out of the two of us I'm stronger so I'm going to finish this!" Dark Dani said angrily as she charged up for another attack.
As she was about to attack, her hand was grabbed by her older brother. "Stronger than me!?" he asked angrily. He threw her to the ground forcing her to lose the power she was building up. "I'll show you whose stronger!" he snapped as he charged for her and tackled her to the ground.
"Now's our best chance to strike while they're distracted in their own affairs," Jazz suggested as the Dark Phantom's rolled around the driveway, shooting ecto-blasts at each other in random directions.
"Right, let's do this," Danny whispered as they slowly stood up so as to not draw their attention. Then the silence was interrupted by Vlad.
"That is enough out of you two!" he yelled at the two clones, stopping them from fighting. They stood and coward in fear of him. "You two should learn a little more control. Now I have plans to eliminate them once and for all, but they don't include killing them here on the spot."
"If we aren't going to kill them here and now then what do you plan we do with them?" Dark Danny asked angrily.
Vlad grinned evilly before he held up Clockwork's Time staff with the Spectral Barometer attached. "Ruin the past, destroy the present, and eliminate the future," he said as he handed the staff over to Dark Danny who grinned with a large smile. "Travel through time and prevent them from being born. They won't be that much of a problem if they don't exist."
"I can tell this is going to be really fun," Dark Danny said with an evil grin.
"Ya but what if we get stuck in the time stream?" Dark Dani said skeptically as she put her hands on her hips. "We don't know how to work that thing and we'd need a way to get back home if that were to be the case."
Vlad held out his hand and the infi-map appeared in a puff of smoke. "The infi-map will lead you to any natural ghost portal. If you get lost in time you can use it to find a portal to bring you back to this time period."
"This pleases me," Dark Dani replied with an evil grin as she took the map and stuffed it into her Phantom suit. "So wanna mess with time stream a little?" she asked her brother who was fiddling with a button on the staff.
"Oh ya!" he responded before he raised his hand and formed a portal into the ghost zone with ease.
"I have got to learn to do that," Danny said skeptically as he watched the evil clones jump through the portal. He looked over at Vlad who stood there smirking at them.
"You can try to stop them if you'd like," he suggested to them. "If you don't fight for your existence then you won't exist anymore; and don't worry about your families," he said before he turned and shot ecto-beams out of his finger tips, wrapping the seven people and two ghost dogs in ecto-rope. He tugged on them pulling them outside into the driveway. "They'll be waiting here for you when you get back…if you get back," he said with an evil laughter.
Danny growled in anger. He tightened his fists as his eyes started glowing bright green. His concentration was broken when Jazz tugged on his arm. "What!?" he asked her. She had startled him and he forgot what happened for a moment.
"Common Danny!" Danielle yelled to him as she and Kim jumped through the portal into the ghost zone.
"We've got to follow them or there's no hope left," Jazz said as she ran towards the portal with Danny in tow. "If we stay here and fight Vlad our existence will fade away, we have to ensure our lives in the present, then we can continue the fight later."
Danny looked from her and back at Vlad who continued grinning at them as his family and friends struggled at his feet. "Danny go!" Sam yelled as she got up onto her knees. "We'll be fine just go!"
Vlad kicked her in the stomach, making her groan in pain as she fell onto her side. "Yes Daniel, listen to your girlfriend," Vlad mocked. Danny looked down at the teenage girl as she looked back up at him. "The fate of the planet rests on your shoulders. What will you do?"
Danny scowled at him as Jazz tried to usher him into the portal. "I'll stop those two from destroying the past and I will defeat you, no matter what it takes, you will fail as always." And with that he turned and grabbed Jazz by her waist before he flew through the portal. It closed moments after they passed through.
As soon as Danny and Jazz came through the portal they were hit with an energy attack from the side, blasting them away from the portal before it closed. Dark Danny smirked as his hands let off a pink smoke. He turned to face his sister as she spun Danielle around in a circle by her leg.
She released her sending her flying into a floating door breaking it in half on impact, making it useless. "I hate these things," she said as she brushed a few wood splinters off her suit. She looked up to see Kim jumping on random floating rocks as she dodged ecto-blasts being shot at her.
She landed on a rock and pulled out her own gun and fired. Dark Danny just barely dodged before he pushed the button on the top of the time staff, reversing time sending the weapons attack back at her.
She was unable to react before the blast reentered the barrel of the gun and exploded. When the smoke cleared, Kim fell from the rock and plummeted into the dark voids of the ghost zone below.
Danielle flew down and caught her before she hit the ground where there appeared to be a cemetery of some kind. "Careful Dani!" Kim yelled as they flew around pieces of broken debris from the floating rock Kim had been on.
They flew up next to a recovered Danny and Jazz who were floating some distance away from the two clones. "Well should we have a little bit of fun?" Dark Dani suggested as Dark Danny raised the time staff.
"Let's start with eliminating them from the time stream so we can play with time without being slowed down," he suggested as he pushed the button on the time staff, opening a portal to an unknown past time period. They both laughed evilly as they flew through the portal into the past.
"We've got to hurry!" Danielle yelled as she flew towards the portal with Kim in tow.
"If those things do something to prevent us from being born it'll all be over!" Jazz yelled as Danny flew after the other two towards the portal.
"Not if we have anything to say about it!" Danny said sourly as the four teens flew through the blue portal moments before it vanished into thin air.
