DarkFoxKit: Hello everyone, so happy to see you here today!

Andy: *was pouting* I'm not… this is bringing back some really bad memories for me. Did you have to make it a movie!?

Key2DestNE: Why of course we did, dear Andy- what else could we do~?

Andy: You two are sadistic! You could skip this, you know!

DarkFoxKit: We could, but that would upset our fans. Anyways, you guys were excited with that last chapter huh? I hope you like this one.

Key2DestNE: Ohohoho, this is gonna be good!

Andy: I think you mean painful… *crosses his arms in annoyance* Danny Phantom isn't owned by these two sadistic authors, I'm their only creation- that and this plotline. Enjoy my suffering…


Chapter 9: The Last Human

Danny's Point of View

Finally, FINALLY, I've got Andy back. Ugh… I guess it's true what they say- every time, the best laid plans go awry… This should've been a simple 'takeover'- get everyone in one fell swoop, done, finished. And yet I'm having trouble getting the last few people who were prepared in the unlikely event this happened! Dash and Valerie managed to elude me, but not for long. I've already got two more clones on their tails… Heh, it's why they couldn't catch us, they're too busy trying to save their own skins.

My clones didn't catch them yet, but I'm sure they will soon. For now, I'll focus on my brother- he's the bigger catch. "Well then… why don't we talk for a bit, Andy~?"

"Uh… c-can you look away so I can use the bathroom?" he said as he gave me the infamous Fenton nervous grin. "I… w-we're twins, but I'd still feel awkward about… t-that… you know…"

I smirked back, stroking his cheek. "Oh, but I do know- which is why you're not leaving my side, dear Andy~ Now then… let's get started, shall we? I'm sure you're just, heh, dying to fly in the sky by my side!"

I kept smirking as I saw him looking away, as if to try and hide a blush of embarrassment. Heh, even if he tries to deny it himself, I know him better than anyone- I know my brother wants to fly, especially after he found out I was half ghost and not fully dead like he thought. I could see it his eyes, but I suppose it's more of a guilty pleasure to him right now.

"I-I've… been a little intrigued yeah… b-but… not like this." Andy frowned nervously, still not looking at me. "Y-you're not exactly yourself… m-maybe you're trying to unite the world a-and all, but… don't you think this is too extreme? … I-I mean what about V- …" he stopped suddenly, his eyes wide as if he just realized something, but he wouldn't finish that sentence… What was he saying there?

I frowned, looking at him suspiciously. "...What was that, Andy? What about whom- Valerie? The one who tricked me?"

Andy didn't answer at first, as if he was thinking about something. Oh boy… I never say this too often, but my brother's really smart when he wants to be. Sure he's not considered a genius like Jazz is when it comes to things like school and book smarts, but he's pretty intelligent and when he begins to think like that- that's when he's most dangerous, human or halfa, I better watch my step here.

Finally, he said softly, "... Danny… I understand you have your reasons, but… you're going about it the wrong way. I don't know if this is a half ghost thing or if something else happened, but this isn't the way to go… and if you weren't… like this, maybe you'd see that too. Would the world really be happy to live as halfas?"

...What? Is he- is he joking? He's joking… right? "Andy, I'm not going about it the wrong way!" I frowned at him, letting a fang show. "Besides, just because I look different doesn't mean I am! You think the world wouldn't be happy to live as halfas? Well I think this is just the next stage of evolution for humans to take! You know all about evolution, right bro? How true my words are right now? After all, you are a biology wiz…"

"I don't believe in evolution." Andy said, glaring back at me. "You know that already. And besides, every human you've changed… they're basically under your control if you so will it, am I right?"

I shrugged… eh, no big deal- I don't do it all the time, if anything I might do it if two halfas fought. "Yeah, so? I'm not a tyrant like some rulers are, Andy- for the most part, I'll let them keep to their everyday lives."

"I see…" He looked down, his hair hiding his eyes. "And… you plan to do the same to Tucker and Sam soon? … They're not halfas yet, are they?"

I blinked but shook my head. "Nah… I'd prefer to handle those closest to me on my own- not have a clone do it. It's less… emotional that way- you understand, of course, right Andy?"

"And… your last words before… was 'to save the best for last', and it was clear you meant me… so… are you going to turn them first before you turn me?" he asked cautiously- he looked calm but I could hear his heart beating rapidly in his chest. I almost wanted to smirk… that was so adorable, he almost seemed like a little kid.

"Hmmm… maybe~" I smirked at him, shrugging. "I suppose it depends on what I decide… I'll most likely save you for last- but I can't just have my misguided brother wandering around, trying to catch me or kill me, now can I~?"

Andy suddenly looked up at me, his eyes wide in shock. "What? No! I wasn't going to kill you! No… I couldn't and wouldn't do that… I know I wouldn't be able to anyway… A-and besides… I only wanted to catch you to try and help you go back to normal… You know, to stop being this Corrupted Danny."

That made me freeze. "...What did you call me?" … Corrupted Danny… "Did… you call me Corrupted Danny?" My voice was oddly calm, despite the emotional storm quickly forming within my mind.

"... It's… what I'm calling you as long as you're in this form." he answered softly. "A-and… and it fits, too!"

"...It… fits, huh?" I couldn't help but chuckle, even though I wasn't amused in any way. "I see… so you think I'm Corrupted." My eye began to twitch as my whole body began to glow. "That I'm evil. That I'm… a Freak. Is that what you're saying? Hmm?"

Andy began back away from me, but he still seemed determined to continue. "I didn't say you were a freak… but you seem pretty corrupted to me. And I'm not going with you, Danny, not while you're like this!" Then he held out his Fenton Rod at me. "I don't care anymore, I'm not going down without a fight!" and he activated the blasted blue fire on that thing!

I couldn't help but growl at him, my eyes flashing in fury. "Oh really, bro? Hmph… fine then- let this dark corrupted soul teach you what I'm really planning!" And with that, I quickly fired off a Ghost Ray at him- not one meant to hurt him… much, just to stun him long enough for me to knock him out. I guess I'll have to perform the Mind Meld on him when I take him back… such a shame too, I didn't want to perform it on my own brother.

But of course, Andy wasn't going down that easily- he swung the Fendon Rod and deflected my Ghost Ray back at me! I canceled it out with my hand since it was a weak one, narrowing my eyes once more. I guess he'll have to learn his lesson the hard way- I didn't want to do this, but he gives me no choice. "Fine… you want to play dirty? Then let's play dirty!" With that, I quickly flew at him, brandishing my claws like the new weapons they were.

I flew much faster than he expected, because he didn't react until after I left some marks on his arms. He groaned and hissed in pain. Heh… unfortunately for him, as tough as he is, he's really no match for me. "You're just fighting a losing battle, bro! Why not make it less painful for the both of us and just turn yourself in like a good little brother?"

Andy panted a bit, clutching his arm. "I told you… I'm not… going down without a fight!" He quickly fired his wrist gun at me… tch- what a slow weapon. I easily dodged of course, and in response I slashed at it, forcing him to yank his arm away from me.

"Oh?" I raised an eyebrow, circling him and making sure he couldn't escape. "Just like a mouse, eh? Heh… well, I doubt you want to share that mouse's fate, now do you~?"

Andy was hissing in pain, rubbing the arm I slashed at, but he was still being annoyingly defiant. "I'm not… going to stop…!" He then ran in a random direction and I was in front of him before he could blink- this speed is just incredible! It's almost like I was teleporting. But this was my mistake, though, since Andy knew I'd do that and he swung that infernal rod at me! I groaned in pain when that blue flame hit my waist, it BURNS! That thing really HURTS!

Of course, Andy didn't stop, knowing if he let up I'd attack him, clever boy. The pain… oh the pain- he kept swinging at me frantically, until I had enough! Faster than a cobra, I snatched that stupid rod with my tail and curled around it, making sure he couldn't swing it on me! Once I get rid of this annoying weapon, Andy will be completely powerless… Heh, and he'll be a cute little sitting duck for me. "Are we going to listen to each other now, Andy~?"

Andy glared at me, trying to get his weapon back, but it was useless. I glared, my eyes glowed in anger as I squeezed the rod harder, and finally my sharp tail managed to snap that stupid thing in half, rendering it useless now. The look on my brother's face, hah! It almost looked like I just killed his puppy or something!

"Y-you destroyed the Fenton Rod!" he paled as he backed away from me. I guess now he knows who's really in charge here. "I… h-how- how did you…?"

I shrugged, tossing it away idly like the toy it now was. "Oh come on, Andy- do you really think I'd be beaten by such a weak weapon as the Fenton Rod? You know I've bested our parents' inventions before, and I'll continue to do it!"

Andy lowed himself to the ground, and I watched him carefully. "So… now it's completely hopeless for me?" I wasn't sure what he's trying to do, but it looks like he's either giving up or trying to make himself smaller.

"...Hmph." I shrugged, giving a small smirk. "You could say that, yes- after all, your main weapon is snapped like a twig, and your little wrist gun is more like a toy than anything else. Face it… you'll just have to come with your corrupted dark brother." That… hurt a lot more than I expected…

"The Fenton Rod and the Ray Gun aren't the only things I have with me." he said quietly. "And… I meant what I said… you're not taking me without a fight, bro." before I knew what he meant, he suddenly threw dirt right in my face! My eyes! They're covered in dirt! And I felt that stupid ray gun hit me into a tree! I growled in anger as I quickly tried to wipe my eyes while I heard his footsteps hurrying away from me! No! I can't let him get away!


*Andy's Point of View*

After I blinded Corrupted Danny and hit him with a Ray Gun into a tree, I ran off like there's no tomorrow! Because, frankly, there won't be if he catches me! I quickly turned on the portable Ghost Shield I still had with me to avoid any sudden grabs from him again or from any other halfas that decide to abduct me… I don't know how much battery I have left, but I have to hurry and find Valerie and Dash! They should still be out there!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAANDYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" I gulped and paled… Corrupted Danny's really angry now. "GET BACK HERE! YOU ARE NOT LEAVING WITHOUT ME BY YOUR SIDE, DO YOU UNDERSTAND!? GET BACK HEEEEERE!"

Already I could hear him flying towards me with great speed! I have to pick up the pace! Come on, come on, gotta get out of the open! Oh shoot, I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die! I'M SO GONNA DIE! WAH! Oof… I tripped and landed in some bushes. Wait… bushes… Yes! These things can help keep me covered! I turned off the Ghost Shield, because it could easily be seen. I need to save power anyway, since I have to stay hidden and try to find Dash and Valerie.

I stayed perfectly still as I saw Corrupted Danny just above me. I couldn't make a sound, one wrong move and he'll instantly find me! I couldn't move, I couldn't twitch, I couldn't so much as blink or breathe for fear he could hear and pinpoint me.

Corrupted Danny growled in fury, looking around once more before he flew off, and I could finally breathe easi- "I'LL SET THE ENTIRE WORLD ON YOU IF I HAVE TO, BRO! YOU ARE NOT GETTING AWAY!" I paled… no, he's joking right? Surely he couldn't possibly control every single person in the entire world at once just to go after me, right? …R-right? "IF YOU WANT TO SAVE YOURSELF THE TROUBLE, SURRENDER YOURSELF RIGHT NOW!"

I still didn't move… and after a minute or two, he finally lost his patience. "FINE! IF THAT'S HOW YOU WANT TO PLAY IT! JUST REMEMBER BRO, YOU ASKED FOR THIS!" And with that, he flew off into the distance.

I slowly made my way out of the bushes… oh great… what have I done? How am I going to get out of this one? I couldn't possibly go back into town like this! I'll be surrounded before I could even blink! But how am I going to find Valerie and Dash? I'm going to need at least Valerie's help to get away, her hoverboard's the only thing that'll help us traverse the land a bit…

I looked up… There's one halfa that I'm sure Corrupted Danny hasn't gotten a hold of yet… but he's… all the way in Wisconsin. I'm sure Vlad hasn't crossed my brother's mind yet, which is why I was careful not to say his name in front of him, but Vlad… just may be my only hope to get back into the Ghost Zone. Because… I think the only way to fix this for sure is using Clockwork's time powers again- despite how badly I screwed everything up last time, surely this time it couldn't be worse than a halfa apocalypse, right?

I sighed as I began walking… I don't know where, but I just want to walk. I don't know what I'm going to do now… It's not like I can walk to Wisconsin, right?


Then I heard what sounded like grunting, explosions and screaming… was that… That was Valerie! I hurried to where I heard the ruckus and stopped when I reached a clearing, seeing Valerie on the ground and in pain! I gasped, seeing her fighting with Corrupted Danny… I don't know if that was the real one or another clone, but either way, I can't possibly fight him like this, he's far too powerful- even when Freakshow was controlling him, I couldn't even keep up! The only way I got to damage him before was because I had to predict what he was going to do, and I got extremely lucky! And even then I barely scratched him!

Where's Dash, though? I just see Valerie! She was still firing her bazooka at my corrupted brother, and he looked like he was having fun with her. Corrupted Danny chuckled, easily evading another blast as he smirked at her. "Come on Valerie, don't you want to help me find Andy~?"

"You stay away from me!" she snapped, firing yet again. "I won't let you take me or Andy! Now get away!"

I couldn't let Valerie get taken… but before I could do anything, Dash suddenly came out of nowhere and grabbed me! "Wah!?"

"W-we can't stay here! W-we have to r-run!" Dash quickly said, pulling me along. "Valerie's keeping him distracted! W-we have to g-get out of here!"

"What!? We can't just leave her!" I yelled, trying to fight back. "Besides, she's the only one who has transportation! We can't get back to town!"

"I-I know, but we're not trying to get back to town!" Dash replied, still tugging me along. "Come on, Andy, trust me- she told me to head this way for a reason!"

"B-but… Valerie…" I didn't want to leave her! I didn't want to throw her to the wolves! "We can't just leave her!"

"We don't have a choice! Now come on!" Dash yelled as he quickly picked me up, being the stronger one out of the two of us!

"No! I don't want to leave her like this! Put me down!" I snapped, pounding my fists against his back.

"And what are you going to do? You don't have a weapon other than that ray gun now do you?" Dash asked me, still carrying me.

I stopped at that… He's- he's right… I don't like it, but even if I went down there to help her, it'd only bring the moth to the flame… there's… nothing I could do. I was… completely powerless… I'm… only human… I have no powers… and without a weapon… I was completely defenseless… there's… there's nothing I can do…

Dash sighed in relief, feeling me no longer pounding his back. "Alright, good… Now apparently there was some kind of tracking device on her suit, allowing her to track it back to it's original owner- maybe whoever it is can help us out!"

"... What?" I blinked, still feeling lost and guilty to really have paid attention.

"I said that the one who gave her those ghost hunting equipment had some kind of tracking device! She said she tracked it back to its original owner- if we can find who it is, maybe they can help us. I'm sure they were able to escape the whole conversion thing too." the jock answered.

I blinked before frowning, looking at him in confusion. "... and… where are we going exactly?"

Dash shrugged, still walking through the forest. "Apparently we have to keep going this way- we're in Wisconsin right now, and the tracking device said we were close."

"Wait, what!? How are we in Wisconsin!? That's like four days away from Amity Park!" I shouted in disbelief before I quickly shut up, not wanting Corrupted Danny to find us.

The jock sweatdropped, coughing awkwardly. "Y-yeah, er… when the hoverboard's engines finally gave out, we had been flying just above this forest… so I guess technically a really fast halfa could make it in a minute or two."

… I see… so that sky chase lead us all the way to Wisconsin… I knew Corrupted Danny was fast, but dang... But that's pretty convenient… if we're here… maybe Vlad can help us… But… what if he's not willing? Then what do we do? ...I-I can't think like that! Right now, Vlad is our only hope, so we can't try to think of another solution at the moment!

We were still in the forest, we had to get out. I cringed when I heard Valerie's scream from a distance. I looked back for a moment to see sparks of red lightning back there. I shut my eyes… I can only assume that Corrupted Danny converted her into a halfa now. I still don't know if that's a clone or the real thing, but either way… now it's just me and Dash who are still humans.

"Let's just… hurry and get there." I said quietly. "I… I don't want to take any more chances." Dash clearly must've felt the same way… he was friends with Valerie too. But he understood that we didn't have time to mourn, so he didn't argue, and we kept going.

After a while, I was growing a bit tired, and I glanced down at Dash who was still carrying me. "...So how much further?" I asked since he had the device thing that was leading us to the tracker.

"It's still quite a ways… we may have to set up camp for the night." Dash said, frowning a bit.

I shook my head, though, sighing. "We can't… if we sleep, we're going to get caught. Corrupted Danny threaten to have the entire world come after us, so if we sleep, there's a good chance they'll find us."

"So we should keep going?" Dash asked, frowning worriedly.

"Yeah… we won't be safe until we can find whoever we're looking for." I said as he nodded, and we continued to go towards Vlad Masters… the only halfa in the world not under Corrupted Danny's control.


*Danny's Point of View*

Heh… good, I managed to get Valerie, and this time I made sure she wouldn't trick me. All that's left is Dash and my troublesome brother. Oh, right… I almost forgot… heh… I should work on Tucker and Sam before I do. I'll have everyone on the look out for my brother while I work with them. I closed my eyes as I sent out a mental signal to everyone I've changed. There was a stable connection link to all my clones had changed, so it was easy to just activate the 'switch' for complete obedience.

When that was complete, I began broadcasting… It was an odd feeling, but it was nice to be in control at the same time. "Attention all halfas- be on the lookout for Andy Fenton and Dash Baxter. If you see them, capture them immediately- do not hesitate for anything or anyone! You may take Dash and turn him into a halfa on the spot- however, for Andy, do not change him, I want you to let me know you got him and let me come to you, is that clear?" I heard an all mutual agreement, or rather sensed it. "Good, now find them!" Until then, I have two best friends to change…

When I returned to the hotel, I smirked, seeing both Tucker and Sam still under the influence of my clones. Good… this'll make things run much smoother. With a wave of my hand, I had the clone overshadowing Sam lessen it's hold and let the goth girl retake control. "Why hello there Sam, how do you feel~?"

Sam blinked at me, looking confused before her beautiful purple eyes widened when she saw me. "W-what…? What just- D-Danny? What happened to you!?"

I chuckled, stroking her cheek as my eyes began to glow. "Oh Sam… I'm simply adjusting my body, adapting it to my environment. Now tell me… would you like ghost powers too~?"

"H-huh? … But… wait, my grandmother… is she okay? Wh-what've you done with her?" she demanded angrily- heh… she's so cute when she's angry.

I chuckled, my eyes flashing into hers and making her pause for a brief moment. "I only gave her the power of ghosts- and you could join her, you know~ Come on, Sammy… don't you want this~?"

"B-but… D-Danny… I-I don't know… I-I don't think people c-can take having ghost powers…!" she said with a frown, looking into my eyes. "Y-you're special… a-and it's unfair… t-to take that away and turn everyone else into… halfas like you."

I smirked, giving a small shrug. "Oh really~? Is it that unfair, Sam? I consider it unfair for others to not get this chance too! Just think about it… you'll be able to fly wherever and whenever you want, along with me. We could go on that romantic date you've always wanted and fly to any city you want for it. We could fight bad ghosts together on equal terms- it'll be fun and nobody has to be left out again."

"... I-I… b-but… this… nature didn't intend for this…" she said, hesitating, I could see it in her beautiful eyes, she did want ghost powers. Heh, who am I to say no to that desire? My eyes glowed into her's, and I began using the Mind Meld that I had just named when I was chasing my troublesome brother down. I seeped my thoughts into her mind, slowly taking it over. "I… it didn't… did… did it…?"

I shrugged again, stroking her cheek. "Who knows… but personally, I like to think of it as a human's next evolution- and wouldn't you like to join me on this path, Sammy~?"

"I-I… I do… b-but is this… right?" she asked. I just kept smirking at her, putting in my thoughts. Of course it's right, it's helping the world and people get along now isn't it? This is what it should be after all… She then nodded and began smiling, seeing my point. "Yes… you're right… no more fighting… and no more animal abuse…" Heh, that's my Sam- always thinking of animals even in this situation.

I smiled at her, giving her a small kiss on the cheek. "Well then… we'd better start your transformation, wouldn't you say~?"

"Of course, I'm waiting." Sam smiled as I nodded.

I then began pouring the energy into my hand, crackling with red electricity. "Now this is going to hurt a bit- are you ready for the pain?" My little goth girl nodded and I smirked. "Good." With that, I plunged my intangible hand into her chest, causing the entire electricity to travel through her body, and letting ectoplasm fuse with her DNA. She screamed out in pain as her body began changing, her hair turning white, her eyes turning red and her clothes inverting, turning from black to purple. Thankfully the process was finished soon, and I took my hand out- I didn't like hearing such a beautiful girl scream in pain like that. "...How do you feel, Sam?"

She panted for a minute, not that I blame her- this always exhausts the person I change. But she smiled, looking up at me happily. "Like… like I've been reborn…!"

"Heh… good- but before we take a test flight, we'd better do the same with Tucker too. I don't want the poor guy to get jealous again." I smirked as I turned to my techno friend, who was still under the influence of my clone. I then snapped my fingers and Tucker snapped out of it, his eyes staring straight into my own glowing ones. "Hey there Tuck, miss me~?"

"Wah? W-what… what happened to you, dude? Y-you… almost seem scary!" Tucker pointed out, looking nervous.

I shrugged, chuckling. "Well, I suppose I do- but I just consider it a good way to frighten new ghosts. Besides… I've figured out how to turn humans into halfas, including you Tucker~!"

"What… really?" He blinked but smiled hopefully, it was obvious he had been wanting this for a while. "I-I could really become a halfa now? No mutation? No corruption?" I cringed at the word 'corruption', and he blinked. "... Uh… you okay?"

"Y-yeah… I just…" I glanced away, remembering Andy… he… he had called me… "I… it doesn't matter- there's not going to be anything wrong with it. It will hurt a bit at first, but that doesn't really matter, right?"

"Sure, no pain no gain right? Besides, you had it far worse when you were in the accident." Tucker pointed out before he began looking around. "What about Andy? Where is he?"

"Don't you worry about Andy, he'll be joining us soon, I can promise you that." I smirked, remembering my initial plan. Heh… I didn't even have to use the Mind Meld on him. "Alright then, let's do this…" I then turned my hand intangible and began charging it up with electricity. "Brace yourself!" With only that small warning, I shoved it into his chest, allowing the same process to take him over.

Like with Sam, Tucker screamed in pain as he began changing. His clothes inversed, his yellow shirt becoming dark green and his dark green pants becoming yellow, his eyes changed to red, even his beret turned black and his glasses turned red. Soon, it was done, and I took my hand out. "How do you feel, Tuck?"

Tucker looked down at himself and smiled, pumping the air excitedly. "This is going to be SWEET! Let's go for a test flight! Come on!"

I chuckled, nodding in amusement. "Sure, sure, you and Sam go ahead and test it out. But… I've got a brother to find. Let's just say we're playing a long game of… hide-n-seek, one with no rules."

"Eh?" Sam blinked, before she picked up on my thoughts and she nodded in understanding. "Oh, I get it… Well, maybe we can help you? Andy can be pretty inventive with anything when he wants to be!"

"And I want to help too." I blinked, looking up, surprised to see my sister Jazz of all people here. She sighed, looking down in shame. "I'm sorry, Danny- I let Andy go before because I thought he was seeing things our way, and I want to make up for it. Allow me to join the search party with you…"

"..." I couldn't help but give a small smile… this was sort of ironic, in a way- all four of us, Andy's closest friends and family, searching for him so he sees our point and we can bring him back with us, and join in our full growing family in this world. "Heh… alright then- I'll see if Valerie wants to join in, and we'll get started."

"Great!" all three of them said, looking excited, and I gave another smile… maybe if I can just talk to my brother, he'll know I'm not corrupted.

…Wait… "...Hmm?" I just got word from one of my, ahem, 'loyal subjects'… "Ah- seems they found Dash somewhere in the town of Wisconsin, and Andy should be close by." I grinned at the three members of my new search party, crossing my arms confidently. "Heh… who's up for a trip to Wisconsin?" I could swear I'm forgetting something that involves Wisconsin… but it couldn't be that important, right?


*Andy's Point of View, an hour earlier…*

Dash and I have been walking through the woods for what felt like hours… but we soon came to the end of it, because I saw a town up ahead. Wait… a town? … Ohhh boy… of course, this means we have to be on the look out now for people- if my corrupted brother's threats was for real, then we're going to have one heck of a time getting to Vlad from here on out.

Dash frowned slightly as he glanced around, trying to keep hidden. "Alright… so should we try to go around the town?" he whispered to me. "Or should we try to sneak through it?"

"How far away is the signal?" I asked him, frowning in concern.

"It's still quite a ways away. In fact it might take us days to get there if we had to go around the town." Dash frowned, looking at the tablet.

I sighed, reluctantly shaking my head "We can't afford days, our bodies wouldn't make it like that. We'll have to try and go through town." But if they see us, we're as good as half dead… "Maybe we should try on some disguises…"

"Disguises?" Dash blinked, looking down at me curiously. "Like what? I don't think anybody has a ghost costume just laying around for us to use…"

"It doesn't have to be a ghost costume." I said, shrugging. "Just something to cover our faces from view. Is there any cloth or capes or hoodies we can use?"

"Hmmmm…" The jock looked around before he smiled, and I followed his path to see a bunch of clothes on a clothesline. "Bingo- there's a few hoodies right there!"

"Looks like someone was drying their laundry. I'd hate to steal from them, but desperate times calls for desperate measures." I said as I took a navy blue hoodie and put it on. I looked at Dash and saw he just took… "Uh… that's a big red hoodie… are you sure that won't draw too many attention?"

Dash huffed, giving me a raised eyebrow. "Hey, I like red- besides, you think navy blue won't do the same? It's fine, nobody's going to notice the color of my hoodie!"

"Oh whatever, let's go." I put my hood up to cover my face, and my friend quickly did the same as we began to walk.

"What are we going to do if they ask us to fly with them or something?" Dash whispered to me.

"Just try to ignore them and keep going." I whispered back. "Don't look suspicious, just act casual." To be honest, I'm glad Dash was still here, if I was left alone I don't think I could handle it.


The town was full of halfas flying around, a lot of them were young teens, I guess the older ones either weren't comfortable to fly or were busy with something else. Hmm? Wait, those teenagers seem to be gathering somewhere- what's going on? What, is there like a school for halfas now or something?

As we got slightly closer, we heard a young man speaking, and he sounded pretty confident. "Now listen up everyone, if we want to be good halfas we have to learn our new powers! Thus, I want everybody to line up and try to use whatever feels natural- understood?"

"Yes sir!" they all said as if they were in some kind of boot camp.

Dash and I were passing them, trying to remain as unnoticed as possible. However, that apparently didn't work, because the teacher… who was someone our age… ended up spotting us. "Hey, you kids!"

Dash and I both froze, my blood ran cold. I could practically hear Dash's heart pounding in his chest! Please don't know it's us… please just go away… we're just a couple of kids minding our own business…

"What are you doing, not practicing your new powers!?" he snapped, and I couldn't help but notice a lab coat and pair of goggles he was wearing. "Get. To. Work! We're trying to learn about our new powers, not just stand around and stare at the sky!"

"W-w-what do we do?" Dash whispered to me, trying not to panic.

"Just stay calm." I whispered back to him before I turned to the uh… doctor… teacher… professor guy. I made sure to keep my face hidden as I responded. "Um… sorry… but we're new in town and we're pretty tired after flying around for so long."

"...Oh really?" The halfa raised an eyebrow, suddenly pulling a clipboard out of nowhere… where'd he get that from? "How long were you flying, boys?"

Dash looked ready to run, and I had to made sure he didn't lose it as I elbowed his side. "We were flying around for almost a day or two, we're pretty tired."

"Right… right…" He quickly wrote this down and looked up at us. "Well, I suppose you both can head on your way- but don't forget to start training yourselves tomorrow, I expect as much information about the halfa body as possible from everyone in town!"

Geez, this guy almost reminds me of myself if I was more obsessive with halfa biology! I don't like that… "R-right… l-let's go now, uh… friend of mine." I said to Dash, not wanting to say his name in front of this guy.

"Hey… who are you two?" Ugh- oh great, another one, this time a trainee there.

"Don't mind us, we're just passing through." Dash almost squeaked and I facepalmed, so much for staying calm.

"Yeah, just don't mind us." I said quickly.

"... Where did you two come from? I'm quite curious." the young teen boy asked curiously.

"We came from Amity Par- ow!" I stomped on Dash's foot to get him to shut up, but it was already too late.

"Amity Park…? Wow! That's where the Great Danny Phantom came from, right?" The teenager's eyes began to sparkle, almost as if he was a fanboy.

"... Uh… yes… that's right… now if you'll excuse us, we-" I began to speak, but he jumped and interrupted me.

"What's he like!? What's the town like!?" He began rattling off more questions than I could comprehend! "Is there an arcade there? What happened to make him want to give us all similar powers? Are there any houses for sale there right now? Do you wanna fly to a different place and tell me all about it?"

"No, no! That's okay, we're too tired to fly!" Dash quickly said, shaking his head.

"HEY! THESE TWO CAME FROM AMITY PARK!" the boy shouted and pointed at us! The other teens suddenly charged over at us like we were Ember or something!

"You came from THE Amity Park!?"

"That's the place Danny Phantom came from!"

"Can you fly with me there!? I wanna meet him!"

"You're so lucky to have come from the same town!"

Ugh! So much for not getting too much attention… "We better get out of here!" I pushed Dash, trying to get us out of the crowd of halfas. It's a wonder why nobody's in their human forms, they spend a great deal amount of time in their ghost forms!

Suddenly, the first teenager grabbed both me and Dash by the shoulders! "C'mon, let's go- I still have so many questions to ask!"

"H-hey! Don't you dare!" Dash screamed as the boy began flying up with us!

Oh crap… "H-hey, uh… you're not gonna let us go are you?" I asked nervously, suddenly feeling like a baby bird that the mother bird is about to drop to let them learn how to fly, only… we're not birds… or halfas!

The boy chuckled, shrugging. "Well I can't hold onto both of you forever- just quickly transform and we can get going!"

"ARE YOU NUTS!? WE WON'T SURVIVE! PUT US ON THE GROUND!" Dash screamed his head off.

I knew I had to think of something fast or we're dead meat. "H-hey, uh… if you put us down, we're not going to show you where Amity Park is!"

The halfa blinked at us in shock before he pouted, quickly bringing us back down. "Aww, fine… looks like you two are a pair of party poopers…"

I sighed in relief, though Dash looked like he was about to pop out of sheer fear. "Ahem… well… uh… we'll show you there tomorrow. But we have to be somewhere, so-" Suddenly, some of the halfas flew past us, causing a big wind… and of course this caused Dash's hood to flip since he wasn't holding onto it like I was! "...E-er…"

"...Wait a second…!" The boy's eyes widened as he stared at Dash. "You… you're one of the two Danny Phantom wanted to capture!" He then looked at me. "And you-"

"Wah!? H-hey! What did you do to my friend imposter!?" I snapped at Dash as he looked at me, I just gave him a look that says 'play along!'.

"W-wha…?" Dash blinked before his eyes brightened in understanding. "I-I was just… trying to blend in! It's not my fault your friend was stupid enough to fall for my… tricks!"

"You go get the professor!" I said to the boy, quickly grabbing Dash's hoodie by the shoulders. "I'll hold the imposter off, now hurry!"

"Uh… R-right!" The boy quickly nodded, flying off, and as soon as he was out of sight, both of us began to run as fast as we could.

"Go, go, go!" I shouted as the alarms began to go off in town.

"ATTENTION! DASH BAXTER HAS BEEN SPOTTED! ATTENTION! DASH BAXTER HAS BEEN SPOTTED! CONVERT HIM IMMEDIATELY!"

"AHH! I DON'T WANT TO HALF DIE!" Dash cried as we kept running.

"You won't half die, just keep going!" I had to get him to stop crying and focus on getting away, otherwise he might trip and fall again.

All of the halfas in the area began searching the entire town, forcing us to occasionally hide in dumpsters and other places, but it seemed like we were going to make it out in one piece!

"We're going to make it! Just keep going!" I could see our way out- the sewers! Yeah it's gross but I doubt anyone would look for us in there! We're going to make it! We-

"Well, well, well, look at what we have here." My blood ran cold when I heard that voice… the voice of… my brother… "Two for the price of one… I told you four we'd find them soon enough."

"Heh… not bad, dude- I gotta admit, your tracking skills are amazing!" That… that was Tucker… he's… he's been converted too… are we the only two humans left?

"I gotta say it's impressive, but I shouldn't expect anything less from you, Danny." Sam's here too… I felt almost sick.

"Andy, you're not getting away again." I backed away, Jazz was here too… Dash and I knew it was hopeless, especially when… oh… my… gosh… is… that… VALERIE!?

"I'm sorry, guys, but… you really need to feel this for yourself- it's amazing, and I think you two will like it!" Valerie smiled at us… showing a new fang. Her… her hair was ghostly white… and her ghost hunting outfit… it was a mix of blood red and black, instead of the bright red it used to be. In, fact she looks more like Danny in that regard, and her eyes were red… Well, all of their eyes were red.

"W-what are we going to d-do now?" Dash asked me quietly, trying to slowly back away.

"I-I… I don't know." I said, feeling hopeless, and this made Dash frown. "T-there's… there's no way out…"

"..." Dash took a deep breath before looking at me. "Andy… you still have that portable Ghost Shield, right…? Hurry up and use it to get out of here… I'll try to buy you some time."

"Wait, what? No! You're not going to let them catch you two! The Ghost Shield can cover both of us! We can both escape!" I quickly said, not wanting him to fall into the same fate as Valerie and the others!

"Hurry up, if we do this together they'll just follow us until the Ghost Shield breaks down!" Dash snapped, putting his fists up. "Until then, I'll remind them exactly why I'm the captain of the football team…"

"N-no! You can't! I won't let you! I already lost Valerie, I'm not going to lose you too!" I shouted at him, not at all willing to leave him behind. Dash then took my Ray Gun from my wrist and he handed me the tablet. "Wh-what are you doing?"

"You gotta go on, Andy…" He looked at me, trying to make sure the other halfas didn't get too close. "You're the only one who can stop this now. Use the tablet- it'll get you to your destination. I'm sorry I couldn't go with you all the way…" He put the Ray Gun on his wrist and aimed it at Danny. "Now go, and don't look back!"

I shook my head, tears starting to invade, but he already fired the gun at them! That was all the trigger they need to attack, Sam firing off an ecto ray! I quickly turned on the Ghost Shield around me, and Dash nodded to me. I looked at him, feeling my heart pounding and my feet starting to take me away from him. It's as if my body wasn't listening to me anymore… it just wanted to get away.

Corrupted Danny glared at me, before he dodged an attack from Dash. "Hmph- fine, you want me to focus on you? I'll show my brother just what it means to be a halfa!"

I only looked back for a second, just in time to see Corrupted Danny aiming his lightning filled hand and plunged it into Dash's chest! I quickly looked away as I heard Dash screaming filled the city and didn't stop. I didn't stop running, I kept going and going until I tripped, but even then I didn't stop until my body was too exhausted to move. I had to turn off the Ghost Shield… I don't want it to die on me- it still has enough for a day or two, but… I can't keep using it. I wanted to cry so badly… I… I was… the last human on Earth…


DarkFoxKit: … Uh… Andy?

Andy: …..

DarkFoxKit: Erm… you uh… okay?

Andy: …...You HAD to bring that up…!

Key2DestNE: ...Hide. *ducks behind a nearby couch*

Andy: *glares angrily* YOU BOTH ARE THE WORST PEOPLE EVER! HOW DARE YOU FORCE EVERYONE TO TURN INTO HALFAS! THEN YOU HAVE THE GALL TO LEAVE ME ALL ALONE LIKE THIS!? WHY!? WHY!? WHY!?

DarkFoxKit: X_X

Key2DestNE: ...W-well, it DID happen, so why not?

Andy: I dunno, because I DON'T WANT IT TO BE BROUGHT UP!?

Key2DestNE: E-er… sorry Andy, but-

Andy: YOU BOTH ARE DEAD MEAT! *storms out of the house and shuts the door*

DarkFoxKit: … Errr…. well now… uh… we better get to the reviews while Andy throws a temper tantrum. Ora, I'm pretty sure this chapter answered what Andy did to escape from Corrupted Danny, and yes, Andy is trying to get to Vlad's house to stop this madness.

Key2DestNE: M G Brett, I'm glad to hear it doesn't look good for Andy- that's kind of our point! ...Yeah, we should've called the chapter something else, but eh, what do you do? As for how we stop it… Well, sometimes we can't. *sweatdrops* Still, at least you liked the chapter!

DarkFoxKit: Dark Saiyain Shinobi Raven… Well, I'm glad to know you grew to like Andy… you were gonna kill him because he was an OC? Erm… again, glad to see you like him. Blue, well I don't watch a lot of Gravity Falls, but yeah, the warning was pretty much there.

Key2DestNE: Guest, weell you'll have to see how Andy can fix this… but he can't escape the fangirl menace~ X3 Captivity, yeah, things ain't good for Andy at all. But he's hiding from his fangirls, not from you. :P

DarkFoxKit: … He kinda is- *Key stomps on Fox's foot* OW! … Andy likes you Captivity. Anyways, leslidannyphantom, love your pictures, I loved seeing how Corrupted Danny would just have him faced away from him if he should vomit. Muney73, well as you can see, Valerie got caught, and as for how Danny is going down… yeah not spoiling it. We already had the Mind Meld name in mind, we were just waiting for the right time to reveal it. Hmm… Key, you wanna take the rest?

Key2DestNE: Of course! Glad to hear you enjoyed the name- I came up with it for now. Really? You made cool outfits for Danny? Huh… Well, I guess we could shrink Andy for for a bit. *smirks* Glad to hear you waited for this chapter!

DarkFoxKit: Why do you need to shrink Andy? They said LIFE SIZED, as in his original size. I think they want to play with him.

Key2DestNE: ...Oh, whoops. *sweatdrops* Well, life-sized works too! Now then, I believe that's it, right Fox?

DarkFoxKit: Yup, looks like it, at least we had a decent amount of reviews this time. Alright guys, we hope you enjoyed this chapter, and yes, I do realize the pacing is a bit rushed, but hey, it's a movie, the pacing isn't gonna be perfect. I am DarkFoxKit, this is Key2DestNE and we look forward to hearing from you!
