Venelope continued to watch the battle from the old window of the abandoned building. Reflecting on everything she's done, what was once she felt pride, she now felt ashamed. Now realising who Vlad Masters really was, she had regretted doing everything she had done for him.
"I did this. This….isn't what I wanted. Mother….I don't know if you can hear me but….I'm sorry. Somehow, I'll make this right." Venelope said in her head, wiping her tears away.
She looked at Vlad and saw the Staff of Dreams in his hands. She then saw him hand it to one of the shadow ghosts and ordered them to watch it. She thought about what do to do and then saw one of the Fenton Hand Blasters lying on the ground near the building.
Looking back and forth between the ghost holding the staff and the blaster, she then thought of something and looked in determination. Walking outside, she grabbed the blaster and began to ran to the ghost holding the staff.
Vlad ordered a few of the ghosts, "Bring all four Phantoms to me."
After letting off a screech, a group of ghosts disappeared into the ground. Vlad grinned a dark grin as he said, "It's time to end this."
As Dani woke up weakly in Jimmy's arms, he asked her, "Are you alright?"
"I'll be fine. I just need a moment to catch….my breath." Dani said wearily as she stood up slowly.
She didn't even have time though, when several shadow ghosts appeared from the ground and before she could do anything, they bound her arms with their strong ectoplasm and took off with her.
"JIMMY! / DANI!" Jimmy and Dani screamed.
Jimmy roared in anger and began charging his way, blasting ghosts left and right, trying to keep up with Dani.
Sonya and Dale were back on the ground, fighting off some shadow ghosts. Dale thrusted his hands out and started spinning around until suddenly, a medium sized tornado formed in front of him, he then pushed his hands out and sent the tornado forward. The tornado snagged onto shadow ghosts and sent kept them inside the swirling vortex.
He suddenly saw shadow ghosts sneaking up behind Sonya and quickly pushed her out of the way, but then was grabbed, tied by ectoplasm and carried off.
"DALE!" Sonya shouted as she got back up.
Annaya, Dayla and Andrew stood back to back as they continued to fight against the shadow ghosts. Dayla was unaware as she continued to blast ice and fire blasts, that several hands appeared from the ground and before she could do anything, they turned her intangible and phased her into the ground.
"DAYLA!" Andrew and Annaya gasped.
"Where is she? Where'd she go?!" Andrew asked, now panicking.
Frostbite, Wulf, Sam and Danny stood in a line together, ready to take on more shadow ghosts.
"Ready guys?" Danny asked.
"Ready." Sam said, determined as she took a stance.
They all then charged at the several shadow ghosts. Danny punched, kicked and burned his opponents down to a crisp, Sam blasted three shadow ghosts, before pulling out her own Fenton Bo Staff and knocking more back, Frostbite froze three of them with his eyes and Wulf opened a portal that led to Antarctica, picked up several shadow ghosts and threw them into the portal before it closed.
"Great teamwork guys." Danny said impressed, but then yelped when ectoplasmic rope snagged onto his waist and pulled him away from the group.
"Danny!" Sam, Wulf and Frostbite shouted as they watched Danny being dragged away from them.
Vlad floated in the air and roared in a powerful mighty voice which caused everyone to stop, "ENOUGH"
The shadow ghosts stopped attacking and all floated behind Vlad. He grinned at the sight of most of the enemy, bruised and tired from the battle thus far. He grinned wider when the shadow ghosts returned with Danny, Dayla, Dani and Dale in their arms, bound and gagged so they couldn't make a sound.
Vlad used his ectoplasmic energy to form a large platform. He floated down and nodded to the shadow ghosts holding the Phantoms. They bought them down onto the platform and pushed them down to their knees.
"DANNY! / DALE! / DAYLA! / DANIELLE!" The Fenton's, Tucker, Valerie, Sam, Andrew, Jimmy, Sonya and Jazz all shouted, now completely and truly terrified of what Vlad may do to them.
"You have all fought valiantly, but it is over. I will let these four live, but on the condition that you all surrender to me, make me ruler of both Earth and the Ghost Zone and swear your loyalty to me as my slaves." Vlad announced, unaware that someone was sneaking up to the shadow ghost who had the Staff of Dreams in its hands. "Do this and I will not only allow these Phantoms to live, but most of you will live too."
But only after a second, he smirked and said after forming three other duplicates, each holding a blade made of dark energy, "You know what? I'll just kill them anyway."
"NOOOOOOO!" Everyone screamed as the Vlad's bought down their blades, ready to kill all four of them.
Suddenly, the blades turned into bubbles and the bonds around the Phantoms suddenly disappeared, freeing them.
"What?! Who dares?!" Vlad roared in anger.
"I do!" A voice shouted and everyone turned to see Venelope standing at the side of the platform, holding the Staff of Dreams in her hands.
"Venelope!" Everyone shouted in shock.
"What are you doing?!" Vlad demanded.
"Doing the right thing for once in my life." Venelope answered.
She then raised the staff high and said, "I wish that all of Vlad Master's wishes were reversed and I wish he was back in prison where he belongs forever."
Vlad gasped and suddenly, all of the shadow ghosts disappeared, the platform they were on disappeared and Vlad screamed as his powers were once again stripped away, Venelope's returned back to her and she floated in the air in her ghost form. Vlad screamed as he was changed back into his human form and before he could do anything, he vanished into thin air.
Vlad found himself back in his prison cell, never to escape again. He panted and then let out another roar of anger and defeat.
Venelope, Dani, Dale, Danny and Dayla floated back down to the ground and changed back into their human forms as the crowd cheered, for their heroes, including Venelope.
Sam, Jimmy, Sonya and Andrew all ran up to their boyfriends and girlfriends and pulled them into loving embraces. They all then turned to Venelope who stood there, looking down at the ground in shame.
They all walked up to her and Danny said, "Thank you. We never could've done this without you."
"I don't deserve your thanks. After everything I've done and now….I have nothing. There's only one more thing left to do, so I may never do any harm ever again." Venelope said, her sadness and regret showing.
"What do you mean by that?" Dale asked.
Venelope didn't answer and turned to Clockwork and requested, "Clockwork, I think we can all agree that this staff is too dangerous to keep around. Please ensure that it's destroyed."
She looked at the Staff of Dreams and said, "Staff of Dreams, I wish for me to disappear from this world forever."
Everyone gasped and her entire body began to glow. She handed the staff to Danielle and began to accept her fate.
"No don't! / Venelope! / You don't have to do this! / Please! We can help you." Danny, Dayla, Danielle and Dale all pleaded.
"This is the only way. I don't have anything left in this world to live for and at least." Venelope said as she was now floating in the air. She gave them a small sad smile as she finished, "It's okay. I've accepted this."
She began to rise higher and higher into the air and then suddenly, she began to fade into nothing.
"We have to do something about this!" Dale pressed, wanting to help Venelope.
"We have to use the staff to save her." Dani said, still holding the Staff of Dreams in her hands.
"I'm sorry young ones, but the staff must be destroyed. Its power is just to dangerous for anyone to use and to use them for personal gain would be…." Clockwork began to say but Danny cut him off.
"It wouldn't be for personal gain. It'd be for her!" Danny said as they continued to look up at Venelope.
"We won't let her be destroyed after she just saved all our lives. She deserves a normal life with a family that loves and cares about her." Dayla finished.
Danny, Dayla, Dani and Dale all looked at each other and all of them grabbed onto the staff together and wished, "Staff of Dreams, we wish that Vlad Masters was never Venelope Hawkeye's father."
The Staff glowed and released energy into the air and hit Venelope dead on. Danny, Dayla, Dani and Dale then slammed the staff onto the ground and it broke into a thousand pieces as everything turned white.
