Ascension: Part 1
"Sometimes…" He said as he walked around his armor. "You can't help but step back… and take a look at what could have been." He had his back turned to Danny, how having his arms behind his back. "I guess we'd both be disappointed for different reasons…"
Danny just kept glaring at him.
"You're less scary without the armor, arent' ya?" Danny asked in a sarcastic tone.
"Heh… as…" He moved his head around to get rid of the crick in his neck. "… tight as it could be, I can't argue with results. It's partially based on the ecto-skeleton the old man once made, it increases my strength to 100 times max. You'll learn to love it over the black and white, including a few… features."
Danny ignored him, he wanted to ask something else.
"So, what do I call you now? Dark Danny? Dan Phantom? Dan Plasmius? Phantom? Dark Phantom? Dark Dan? How about Jerk?"
His older self only chuckled at that.
"Let's just stick with Thanatos… the name has grown on me. Besides… I outgrew my old name." He then turned around, sticking his arms out to his sides. "I even got rid of that stupid emblem Sam made us…" Danny saw the the DP logo was indeed gone from his chest. It was fused into the suit, but it seems he found a way to remove it. "In retrospect, it was obvious how into us she was… it was also obvious… how annoying she was…" He said with disdain, while purposefully making Danny angry. "I'll be sure to let her and Tucker know when it's their turn…"
"I don't understand…" Danny began questioning something that clearly didn't make sense. "You shouldn't even be here. The explosion that caused you to exist never happened… you're a paradox."
"A temporal aberration, from a timeline that no longer exists… you stopped the explosion from taking your loved ones thanks to Clockwork. You went about your happy little pathetic life, you met Kim Possible and could have ended up having a happy future with her without her knowing about me… but our old pal Vlad had to ruin everything without realizing the consequences because he can't help but think he belongs amongst gods… He unknowingly set me free, I ended up derailing Clockwork's plans for a happy life for you two, and imprisoned him as payback for doing the same to me."
"I received a message from Clockwork… he said the thermos was destroyed…" Danny brought up.
"The thermos… but not what was in it." He explained. "I survived…" There was a notable angry look on his face. "But a very funny thing happened when I tried to leave… As you said, I shouldn't be here. Because the timeline changed too far, I started fading as soon as I left the area of his tower… I took a time medallion, but even with one, my existence was running out. I was literally living off borrowed time… So, with Clockwork knocked out, I tried to destroy him but I couldn't. Turns out… being the ghost of time means he exists as long as time exists… But then, when I found out what timeline I was in, ideas came to me… I guess our old pal, Clockwork, failed to bring that up in his message, didn't he?" He had a grin appear back on his face.
"How do you even know about Kim? Or my dates? They happened after I met you." Danny questioned.
"I was punished to see how your new life unfolded." He had a notable irritated look on his face. "You see… being a you from a defunct timeline meant that I could receive your memories of the one I'm in now and there were like hundreds of them! And being in Clockwork's lair, my punishment was to be occasionally exposed through psychic signals to every timeline where you turn out the opposite of me, being happy with some obnoxious girl… and that was every timeline except the one I'm from…" There was a notable eye twitch. "Not just most of those girls though… there were even timelines were Tucker's girlfriend's gal pal dated you, or that Bloom fairy… There are even timelines where you reformed Ember, or rescued Star from an island, and had happy lives with them. Each one made me want to vomit at how weak you were…" He scoffed. "I'm actually surprised that the timeline I'm in is the one Kim Possible became your girlfriend. Even I think she's out of your league. If I had an ounce of humanity left in me, I'd be ecstatic and allow myself to exist in a world where I get to spend my life with her…" Then an evil smile appeared on his face. "Of course, we both know there's nothing human left in me. You know, she was among those I exterminated in my timeline. It was this area, in fact, I ended her and Global Justice from stopping me. Ron was the most annoying…" He pointed to the spot beneath his feet. "I killed him right here…" Danny's eyes widened in shock. "Wait… no. I stepped on his pet here… He was a few feet behind me. In any case, once I found out which timeline this was, I hatched a plan. I got in touch with a scientist who could help me keep Clockwork as my prisoner so that the medallion could work as long as I need it to be, that idiot crab Psychobos. My suit was constructed to help slow down my time limit. This isn't just armor, it slowed down the time limit to a grinding halt. I'm only out now because of my plan working to buy me more time. Enough time to integrate myself here…"
"How did you become Thanatos?" Danny asked.
"My suit needed upgrades, hence why it looks like the grim reaper of Cybertron here… each world I visited allowed me to upgrade our tech, while also kidnapping scientists and extracting their knowledge to enhance my own. That stupid crab was so full of himself, that he never saw he was making me smarter than him." He laughed mockingly. "During my travels, people mistook me as some kind of angel or deity, come to punish them. At first, it was a good laugh. But as it kept going, I realized something. I was being too small minded. Even if I made sure you became me… what's left for me? True, I'd still wake up to be the amazing destroyer of worlds I am now… but there would always be some idiot who tries to get in my way. That's when I realized how much I loved their mindless worship before I ended them, how they thought me higher than any being. That's when I asked myself, Danny… why fake being a god… when you can actually become one?" He grinned maliciously. "We modified my suit to absorb energy. Then, with Clockwork's knowledge and pieces of his ruined tower, we figured out a few things that will happen in this timeline, like the Energy Combiner. Now, I have almost everything I need to become a god. I only need two more things…" He rose two fingers in V-shape. He lowered his middle and held one up. "The first… is my favorite. For your precious Kim to die… it will break you. It will break you so bad that it'll hurt forever. Everyone that follows, your parents, your sisters, your friends, even your other potential girlfriends… all of them. It will hurt so much that it will destroy you. And from those ashes… I can be reborn."
"What's the other thing you need?" Danny asked.
Thanatos only chuckled and shrugged in a faux-innocent manner. "At the risk of sounding clichéd and ironic given the scenario… I'll keep that one to myself for now."
"So… what would happen to your plans if I, say, flew 100 stories, morphed back into a human and didn't bother changing back? If anything happened… you wouldn't exist period, right?" Danny asked as if to challenge him.
Thanatos was unconvinced.
"Hmph… I see dating a straight A student has its upsides… like logic and reason. But cause and effect didn't work the first time, Danny. After all, you stopped the explosion… and yet I still exist. Besides, even if you did go away, I'd only have a few minutes left. I'd take hundreds of innocent people with me." Danny glared more at his older self. "That's the problem, Danny. With Clockwork as my prisoner, there's no one around to help you get rid of me! I have mastered and manipulated time to work to my advantage!" He said with a confident grin.
"But I wasn't supposed to know it was you!" Danny argued. "When Eon showed me the future, I didn't know. That means there's still a chance, there's still a way to stop you!"
"Is there?" He scoffed before glaring. "It doesn't matter… my ascension to godhood is close. Once I destroy your life, and I am reborn in this timeline and become the unstoppable force of evil I am meant to be…" He pointed at Danny. "The name Danny Phantom will be long forgotten! The Age of Thanatos will be forever!"
He turned around, and started walking back to his armor.
No…
Danny flew past his older self and threw a punch in the face that sent him to the floor. As Danny stood overlooking his older self, he didn't see a certain armor moving.
Danny pulled out a thermos and aimed it at him. "This time… I'm putting it somewhere no one can find it… I'll check back after tomorrow night, past your expiration date! You'll never hurt Kim or anyone ever again!"
"By the way…" The evil Danny said with a grin. "Want to know why you'll learn to love my suit? One of those features? A protective A.I.!"
Before Danny could register what that meant, something crushed the thermos that was in his hand. It also backhanded him. Looking up, it was the Thanatos armor. The flames and eyes were gone, but it still moved to protect its master. It tried to stomp on Danny, then grab him, but he rolled away each time.
Seeing an opportunity to get away, the wearer of the armor returned to it. It opened its back for him, allowing him it. The eyes turned red and the flames returned.
Unwilling to let him go, Danny charged his hands for a powerful blast. Seeing his younger self in action, Thanatos did the same.
Both of them ran to each other, shouted, and fired their blasts in point-blank range. The result exploded in their faces, literally, and launched both of them back, only Danny was shot further. Seeing no point in staying, Thanatos turned invisible and left. Danny failed to get up in time to see this, only seeing his foe gone, to his frustration.
The Possible household was in ruins, so Danny sent a message for everyone to meet him at FentonWorks. This was something he had to share with everyone. So, here he was, in the living room, sitting with everyone there. His parents, sisters, two best friends, Kim, her family, Ron and Wade
All of them were in disbelief with what he's just said.
Kim walked up to him and knelt to look him at eye level, she was just as lost as everyone with what he said.
"You're serious?"
Danny nodded.
"I… I don't get it…" Jack said to his son. "How could that thing… Thanatos… be you?"
"He's not me…" Danny said. "Or… he's me, but a different me… if that makes any sense…"
"He's from another timeline."
Jazz spoke up. Everyone not familiar with this incident looked to her.
"One we've seen before…"
Sam spoke up as well.
"One we thought was gone for good…"
Tucker got their attention as well.
"Wait… you guys knew too?" Danielle asked, sounding a bit hurt she was left out.
"We all promised Danny we'd never talk about it again…" Jazz said, looking to her brother sympathetically as he still sat hunched. "For obvious reasons."
Kim looked to Danny again. "Does that mean-"
"Yeah…" Danny looked away, ashamed. "He's my last secret…"
There was a moment of silence, that's when Jack spoke up.
"That… answers it all! Why Cujo didn't attack him! He must still smell like Danny…"
"And how he seems to know us and so much that only Danny would…" Maddie added.
James scratched his chin.
"Any it explains how the M.R.M. is showing him things he should know, to speed up the memories you've made going into his head!"
"It also explains why Katie was so willing to trust him…" Anne spoke up. "He has the face of someone she loves!"
"A green-skinned version of it, anyway…" Danny muttered.
"So…" Danielle spoke up. "Vlad must have seen him out of the armor. When he saw you and freaked out shouting "Danny Phantom", he wasn't talking about you… he must've meant the Thanatos armored version of you…" She nodded. "It's all making sense now."
"Wait… one question!" Ron said with his hand raised. "Actually, a lot of them. Like, where did he actually come from?"
Danny took a breath and got up.
"Before… the dating service, before I even met Danielle… there was the C.A.T. test." Sam and Tucker wanted to speak up, but Danny raised a hand. "I'd… rather be the one to explain it." Both of them nodded and stepped back. "I found out about an alternate timeline, one where if I had cheated, everyone I loved… would have died." Jack and Maddie both felt a cold chill down their spines. "Vlad would have adopted me and, either out of pity or genuine sympathy, offered to help me get rid of my grief. His idea was to separate my human and ghost halves. My ghost half, I'm just guessing here, was so full of rage and frustration that he attacked and ripped Vlad's ghost half with the same gauntlets. Then, he merged with Vlad's half and turned… into that."
"Wait…" James spoke up. "You said he merged with Vlad's other half. Doesn't that make this Dark Da- Thanatos… a different person all together?"
"Not really. The half that's me caused the merge by overshadowing him. So, the half that's… me… is the one in the driver's seat. The consciousness of Vlad's half is, well, gone…"
"So… how is he still around?" Wade asked.
"Well… Clockwork helped me save everyone, I trapped him in a thermos and gave it to him. That's where he was… until Vlad destroyed Clockwork's tower, letting him out."
Jack crossed his arms. "Why am I not surprised? I should have known this was his fault."
"Even two years later, Vlad causes us nothing but trouble…" Maddie said with a disgusted tone.
"From there, he found his way through space and became who we know today as Thanatos." Danny continued.
"Creating and embracing the lie that he's a god…" Jazz added in. "Letting it go to his head and now he wants to make it a reality."
"So… all of this… was to make sure you still end up like him?" James asked Danny, who nodded. "Fascinating… it's like an invasive species, only he's invading a timeline instead of a location…"
"Fascinating isn't the word I'd use…" Kim said sharply, reminding her father of what this villain intended. "So, what do we do?"
"You'll have to find out on your own…" Danny said, to the confusion of everyone. "He still has the M.R.M. If I learn anything new, he'd find out. You guys can't tell me anything, not even how you plan to use the Quantum Cannon on him. The fact that I don't know how it works is a good thing. In fact… I have to go… to keep you all safe."
All of them stared at him as he was leaving.
"Wait, Danny?" Kim asked.
He stopped, sticking his hand out.
"Sorry, but I can't…"
He then morphed and, with his powers, phased through the roof.
This left everyone alone, all of them looking at each other, unsure.
"So, what now?" Ron asked.
"We need to get Kimmy somewhere Danny doesn't know." James stated. "Nobody tell him anything, right?" He looked around, noticing someone is not there. "Kim?"
All of them noticed she had disappeared.
"Where is she?" Ron asked.
The villains of Kim Possible are gathered in a café in Middleton. The Señor Seniors are at a table with Bonnie, but then become shocked as the girl shape changes into Camille Leon. DNAmy and Adrena Lynn are seated at a table with a stone Monkey Fist. Duff Killigan is sitting at a table by himself. Drakken and Dementor are at another table conversing.
"You must admit that it is exquisitely amusing." Dementor mused over Drakken helping to save the world.
Drakken was annoyed. "Okay, Dementor, I'd really rather not talk about it."
"But the irony! As a mad scientist, you have been a total failure your entire career!" He laughed.
"New topic please!" Drakken snapped.
"Okay, okay. Why the blue skin?" Dementor asked.
That made Drakken actually smile.
"Glad you asked! Funny story... not funny ha ha... but, it was a Tuesday..." That's when his phone rang. "Hold on." He answered. "Hello…" His smile dropped. "Oh, it's you. What do you-" Drakken looked surprised. "Wait, really? You need my help, doing that? Really?" The person on his phone kept talking. Drakken nodded. "I see. Alright, Shego and I will meet you later." He hung up. "Sorry, gotta go." Drakken said, taking his coffee with him.
"But what about the blue skin?" Dementor questioned, genuinely curious.
"Later!" Drakken said as he was going through the door.
It was noon, a sunny day. However, Danny was somewhere the sun couldn't reach him. He was in the Ops Center, sitting alone in one of the guest bedrooms, being completely silent. It was dark, but he didn't mind it, since it meant he didn't know where Kim was, meaning a certain someone else couldn't know.
That's when a knock occurred at the door. Something that surprised him.
"Danny?" Kim's voice could be heard outside.
Danny couldn't believe it, he had to shake his head just to make sure he heard her.
"Kim?"
He got up and opened the door, seeing Kim, in her mission gear, standing in front of him.
"I had to see you." She said, but was stopped before she could keep going.
Danny held a hand up.
"You shouldn't be here. I shouldn't know where you are."
"I know, but I just… wanted to see how you're doing."
"Not good…" Danny admitted, looking away from face. "I'm not exactly over the moon about this whole revelation."
"I figured…" Kim said, sounding sympathetic to his plight.
She was about to put a hand on his shoulder, but he stopped when he rose his own hand to block.
"This whole time… I wanted to just rip that stupid helmet off and punch him in the face for all he's done to us. I just…" Danny winced at the words he was about to say. "Never thought it'd be my face…" He sighed. "Maybe… if I stay away long enough, he'll disappear."
"That's a terrible idea, Danny." Kim stated. "We have no idea how long that would take and he's probably hurt someone until he finds out. There's another way… I'm sure you'll find it."
"Kim, I need you t-"
"Don't worry." She said. "I understand. You won't know where I'm going, I just want you to know…" She moved in and kissed him on the cheek. "I have faith in you."
Danny froze right there, feeling a desire to stay with her, even as she left, still smiling at him as she went away.
"Kim?" He asked.
"Don't worry." She said as she was closing the door. "Things will be okay." She said assuringly as she closed it.
Once she did, Danny sighed to himself. He shook his head and felt ashamed of himself.
"I have to stay away. If I stay away, he won't know… and he won't find her. If I stay away long enough, maybe he'll disappear."
"Is that how you wanna handle it? At this rate, it'll take that CW Savitar Expy forever to disappear, Kim may as well get a new boyfriend!"
Danny was surprised and turned around to see standing in the room… *sigh*
…
You know who it is.
"Deadpool?"
"No, it's Voltron." Deadpool said sarcastically. "Who else could it be?!" He got up.
"How did you even get in?!" Danny questioned.
"Lazy writing." He said. "That's my line, not the Warners!"
"Well, someone's cranky." Yakko said.
Danny, to his shock, saw the three dog-like creatures he encountered first on his date with Katie years ago.
"How-"
"Like he said." Dot responded before Danny could finish.
"Don't mind us, we're just due to make an appearance." Wakko added.
Danny just rose a brow, confused by that line.
"What are you-"
"Hey! I've made more appearance in this story and had more relevance! So leave the fourth wall humor to me!" Deadpool argued. "Go back to your Hulu revival!"
All of the Warners just shrug.
Then they wave innocently at everyone. Then they looked in the direction of where the reader is seeing them in their head.
"Bye!" They all went.
"See you in the main Kara timeline!" Yakko said.
"Check out flower princess11's story!" Wakko said.
"We're in it and we're cute!" Dot added.
Danny was complete unsure what is going on. That's when Deadpool tapped his shoulder, getting his attention.
"I'm gonna need you to not see them leave, so that the moron author doesn't have to write it."
"Huh?"
Not cool, Wade.
Anyway, once Danny turned around, he saw the Warners were missing.
"See? They're gone." He said. "Anyway, I'm here to help you."
"To… fight Thanatos?"
"Oh no, that's your fight. I'm here to help you feel better." Deadpool pulled the Infinity Gauntlet out of- I'm not saying it. "Fanny pack!" Ugh… "With this…" He put the gauntlet on. "And… let's get a burger!"
Deadpool snapped his fingers.
Danny found himself suddenly in front of a burger restaurant, in a harbor town.
"Uh… where are we?" Danny asked.
"Someplace the author wanted to feature sooner." Deadpool looked up into the sky. "Speaking of, when's that Rick and Morty and Bob's Burgers crossover getting updated?"
Soon… ish.
"Ooh, that vague."
Just get a burger already.
"On it. Oh, be tee dubs, I-"
No, I am not somehow making the world of RWBY part of this universe so that you can inject your cells into Yang so she can grow her arm back and you could hit on her. I mean, you have Harley Quinn now, remember?!
"I know… I just want to make that show as good as it used to be, getting her arm back is just part of it." Deadpool stated. He then looked to the confused ghost boy. "So, burgers? Hungry?"
Danny was still reasonably confused, but shrugged.
"Sure, why not?"
Both of them walked in, earning a greeting.
"Hello, welcome to Bob's Burgers, I'm Bob." The owner, behind the grill, greeted.
"And I'm Linda!" The woman with comically large glasses and an odd hairstyle greeted.
Suddenly, Deadpool shuddered.
"Ugh… so much worse sounding in person." He straightened. "So, burgers and fries please." Deadpool said.
"Sure." Bob said.
Linda gasped. "Oh wow! Bobby! That's Danny Phantom!"
Bob took a moment to notice Danny and gasped.
"Oh wow… it is." Bob ran out the door and went up to Danny. "Hi, Mr. Phantom. How are you?"
"Oh…" Danny was unsure how to act. "Uh…"
Someone went through the door.
"Hey, Bob! Still got one kid in juvie, another at a special kids' place and the other at a different special kids' place?!" Jimmy Pesto came in to mock.
Before Bob was gonna answer, Deadpool pulled out a katana and aimed it at Jimmy Pesto.
"Leave now, before this story is rated M…"
Jimmy Pesto just stared.
"Whoa… that… looks real." He said.
"Want a demonstration?" Deadpool asked.
"No! I'm gone!" Jimmy Pesto said, afraid.
He ran off.
"So… burgers?" Deadpool asked.
After a few minutes, Danny and Deadpool finished their food.
"Huh… that was pretty good." Danny said.
"It's no chimichanga, but I gotta bring Harley here." Deadpool said. "You should bring Kim here, too."
"Y…Yeah…" Danny said, sounding unsure.
Linda, who was observing, couldn't help but step in.
"Aww, is there something going on in your love life?" She smiled. "I know, here's a song!"
Deadpool winced at that.
"No! Please no!"
"Love love love! It's the real super power! You gotta rely always on love!" Linda began singing off key.
"No!" Deadpool snapped his fingers.
"What?!" Linda asked, annoyed that he interrupted her. "Why are you-"
Suddenly, Linda found she was unable to talk. She tried speaking, but found no words were coming out of her mouth. This was making her panic.
"Linda?" Bob, who saw this, began to worry. "Linda? What's wrong?!" Linda tried to speak, but made no sound, much to his horror. "LINDA?!"
"Yeah, sorry… but the voice she's been given is so… annoying. Like, it was funny in that one video, but doing that all the time is just so unbearable. I get her voice and singing is meant to be intentionally bad, but it's just so painful to listen to." Deadpool said. "Don't worry, I'll give it back to her… off screen." He admitted cheekily. Then he looked to Danny. "Anway, now that you've calmed down a bit with food… I got a few friends of friends of yours who want to speak with you."
"Who?" Danny asked.
"You'll see." Deadpool pulled out cash and left it on the counter.
That's when he snapped his fingers and vanished along with Danny.
Bob and Linda were left alone.
"That… was weird." Bob said.
Meanwhile, Deadpool teleported atop the building of Jimmy Pesto's Pizzeria.
"Actually… I bet Bob's Burgers viewers would love this. Proof Pesto cheated and that jerk announcer guy should be fired." He snapped his fingers with the Infinity Gauntlet. "There. Now to get that fat little pest, Hugo, fired, and ruin Pesto forever." He snapped his fingers than giggled mischievously. "This will be good!"
Then he vanished.
Kim had just arrived to her family and Danny's loved ones, meeting up with everyone at Amity Park City Hall.
"Kimmie?" Ann asked. "Where'd you go?"
"I had to speak with Danny before I went." She said.
"Well, we're going to put you somewhere that monster won't think to find you." James said. "Wade got in touch with your Global Justice friends, and we're getting protection with them."
"We already sent your uncle and Nana home." Ann said. "For their safety, they don't know where you're going either."
"I understand." Kim said in an oddly calm tone.
Ron took notice of this. He looked confused.
"We're going too!" Jack stated. Maddie held up a blaster while Danielle gave a thumbs' up. "Added back up!"
"What about us?" Sam asked for herself, Tucker and Jazz.
"You guys stay, someone needs to be here when Danny decides to leave that Ops Center." Maddie stated.
All three of them looked to each other and nodded.
"Then let's go." Kim said, oddly enthusiastic.
Ron couldn't help but stare.
Why is KP acting so… okay with this? Does she have a plan?
Somewhere in the world, two figures were watching on a smartphone, a new report as they waited in the middle of a park, far away from Danny's hometown. It was in front of Jimmy Pesto's Pizzeria, where people were taking photos of the building that was now being quarantined.
"And so…" The female news reporter spoke. "Jimmy Pesto's pizzeria has been permanently shut down. Revelation of expired foods and mold in the walls were uncovered. The health inspector, named Hugo Habercore, has been fired for blatant negligence and favoritism."
"NO!" Hugo, the health inspector, shouted as police were dragging him away for refusing to leave. "This can't be! I can't be fired!"
As he was gone, the news woman continued after giving him a disgusted look.
"In other news, Chuck Charles has been fired due to proof he helped Pesto cheat on Family Fracas and has been banned from the studio for life."
Both watching the phone shook their heads in disapproval of Deadpool's antics.
"He actually did it." Paradox said with disapproval in his voice. "He's not wrong to have issue with those people, but he shouldn't be using that gauntlet for such things."
"Is he almost here?" Sailor Pluto asked.
"He should arrive… now."
"Hey! Ash Ketchum and Doctor Who-Else-Are-You-Obviously-Based-On!" Deadpool called out as he and Danny arrived on foot.
"Why does he call people things like that?" Pluto asked in confusion.
"Deadpool's sanity is one mystery of the universe even I do not wish to find the answer to, my dear." Paradox answered her. "All I know is he seems aware of beings even the Celestialsapiens are unable to interact with."
Pluto rose one brow in discomfort.
Deadpool arrived, with Danny Phantom looking pretty confused of why he's here. He also took notice who he was with.
"Paradox? Sailor Pluto? What's going on?"
"We know what you're up to, hence why I had to ask Deadpool to go retrieve you." Paradox answered. "Since what I have is something Clockwork left for you in case of a situation like this and it requires the presence of two beings with chronal radiation they've soaked up." He continued to explain. "Not even the Infinity or Reality Gauntlets could open it thanks to his seal."
"I would have come myself, but I could not stay for long, so I could only arrive here." Pluto explained.
"So… what'd he leave the kid?" Deadpool asked with his arms crossed. "Don't worry, I promise not to take it."
"You wouldn't be able to take it." Paradox said. "It will only work for Daniel."
"Wait…" Danny said, holding his hands up. "You brought me here to give me something?"
"More accurately, show you." Paradox said.
He and Pluto nodded. Paradox held out a small metal box. Once he and Pluto touched the top of said box, it folded open. It revealed some odd, circular blue object that was hovering lightly above the floor of the box.
Danny rose a brow.
"What is that?" Danny asked.
"A glimpse at what is to come." Pluto said. "Even I cannot see it, due to it only working for your touch."
"You want me to touch it?" Danny asked. They nodded. Danny looked to the orb object with reluctance. However, he took a sigh. "Well… if Clockwork left it, I guess that it's okay."
He reach out and touched it.
In a flash, Danny found himself in the middle of someone's backyard. He blinked, looking around.
What the heck?
Suddenly, a ball went through him. Then a little girl walked through him. One with red hair and two pigtails.
"Kim?"
He smiled.
It looks like her as a little girl. I remember it from a picture Ron showed me.
What looked like Kim was laughing happily as she retrieved her ball. That's when another voice called out.
"Sweetie!"
That voice sounded very familiar. So familiar that Danny was surprised.
That didn't sound like Kim's mom. It sounded like Kim herself…
"Coming Mommy!"
The little girl's voice said.
Before Danny was about to turn around when he looked back at the girl as she was running back.
As she turned around, he saw her face.
It looked like Kim, but she had a different face. A face similar to his. Name, she had his smile and his eyes.
Danny was nonplussed by her looks.
As she walked past him, he turned around and saw the woman who called for her.
His jaw dropped.
"KIM?!"
It was Kim Possible herself, looking much a bit older with longer hair, taking a knee to hug the little girl.
"How's my little Annie?" She said. "Are you ready to try again?"
"Yes, Mommy! Is Daddy coming home soon? I want him to see how well I'm doing!" The little girl said.
"He'll be home in time for lunch." Kim said. "Now, ready?" She asked.
The little girl, who Kim called Annie, nodded happily.
That's when the area flashed again.
Danny was in the exact same position he was. His arm was still out, but the strange, circular object disappeared.
He blinked just to make sure he wasn't going crazy. His arm lowered, still surprised by what he saw. He saw the love of his life with a little girl who had his eyes that called her Mommy.
"What-what just happened?"
"Clockwork left that for you. A glimpse into the future if you decide to stop hiding and face your evil older self."
All of them stared nonplussed at Paradox. All save for Danny, who started to look upset.
"You knew?"
"I am not allowed to say what happens." Paradox states. "Only to give you the nudge needed."
"Yeah… well, that nudge would have been great to let me know what to expect with Thanatos." Danny muttered. That's when he remembered something that made him react with horror. "Thanatos… he's still got the M.R.M. He can remember things I've done… he knows!" He steps back. "I just showed him proof he can lose! He's going to try and stop it!"
Danny took steps back and was panicking, but Deadpool put a hand on Danny's shoulder.
"Whoa there, you're cool." He said.
"Yes, Thanatos will not be able to know of this."
Danny stopped panicking, confused to hear that. "Huh?"
"It takes hours for him to learn this. However, he will never be able to learn in time."
"What does that mean?"
Paradox smiled.
"All I can say is what you saw is something that can happen so long as you don't give up. Do not give in to the fear of what he can do. Your life is yours to decide your fate."
"As I said before…" Pluto added. "Don't stop being the man she loves." She said with an assuring smile.
Danny blinked, looking unsure.
"So… you're saying I shouldn't be afraid fight him." They nodded. "So, does that mean that little gi-"
Paradox help a hand.
"What you saw is your future and your's alone. You needn't share it."
"I may or may not have gotten a glimpse due to messing around with time travel when I took Cable's tech." Deadpool admitted. The two other adults gave him an annoyed look. Deadpool shrugged. "What?" He asked innocently.
"In any case…" Pluto spoke up. "Now that you've seen it, you're free to go."
"Uh, where are we?" Danny asked.
"We are about a hundred miles East of Amity Park. By the time you arrive home, it will be afternoon." Paradox said. "I suggest you head back soon."
"Hey! I can get you there now!" Deadpool offered as he held up the gauntlet.
"Uh…" Danny took a step back. "No thanks, Deadpool. I'd feel more comfortable going on my own."
Deadpool just shrugged.
"Fine by me. I was gonna surprise Harley with this thing anyway…" Deadpool admitted.
"Okay… so." Danny looked to Paradox and Pluto and smiled. "Thank you both. What I saw does fill me with hope. And it's going to be the first thing on my mind when I head back."
He wasn't lying. He knew full well there was only one explanation for what he just saw, and who that little girl was calling Daddy. As such, it made the fear he had in him since seeing that monster unmasked melt away.
Now he felt ready.
"Then I recommend you head West now. And kick some butt…" Paradox said with an amused smile.
"I will!" Danny said with a grin.
With that, he flew up and headed West.
His spirits were lifted.
As soon as he was gone, Deadpool looked to the two.
"So… about my payment…"
Paradox groaned.
"Fine, I will forward that ridiculous joke to the versions of you in those specific timelines."
Deadpool nodded.
"Knew I could count on ya…" Deadpool said. He then winked at Pluto. "Be seeing ya. I'd stick around, but I have a girlfriend now. You missed your shot."
"I feel so disappointed." Pluto responded with deadpan sarcasm.
With that, Deadpool began to walk away.
"Say, NeoMark?"
*sigh* What is it, Deadpool?
"Can you add to the TV tropes page I want Abby Archer to be another girl I wish Danny dated in the main story?"
Why?
"Because Grossology was a great show! It deserves more attention!"
…
Well, you're not wrong.
"Exactly! So can you agree to it before we cut to the next scene?"
Sure…
"Excellent. Now, I gotta head back soon. Harley and I are doing roleplay. She's pre-idiocy RWBY Yang, I'm Izuku Midoriya, and-"
Please do not finish that.
"… we're playing Mice and Mystics, the board game. What'd you think I was gonna say?"
… never mind.
"So… I fulfilled my part. See you in the closing notes."
I'd rather not.
"Oh, but I will…" Deadpool responded cheekily.
*sigh*
At Fentonworks, in the Ops Center, the three who were part of Team Phantom with Danny prior to that fateful Summer were looking around the rooms, looking for someone they thought would be there.
"Weird, where'd he go?" Sam asked as she scratched her head.
"You don't think he went and fought his evil, jerky self on his own, do you?" Tucker asked as started leaning on the wall.
"No. I don't think he's that crazy to get rid of the problem." Jazz said.
That's when someone phased in from the floor. Someone they recognized as Danny Phantom.
"Hey guys…" He responded. "Sorry, I had to go and think."
They were surprised, but at least happy to see him.
"Where have you been, little brother?" Jazz asked.
"Just… needed time to myself." Danny asked. "Anyway, Kim already left?"
"Afraid so, lover boy." Tucker said with a small smile.
That's when the sound of something landed on the roof. Something that surprised them.
"What was that?!" Sam asked.
That's when what landed broke through the ceiling, landing several feet away from them. It was Thanatos, with his back turned.
"Oh no…" Tucker said as he began shaking in fear.
"We're prepared for this!" Jazz shouted. She ran to the console and, after pressing a large button, voice her command as she pointed to the armor. "Ghost shield, 300%, on him!"
That's when a shield surrounded the evil figure as he was standing back up, keeping him in place.
"YEAH!" Sam shouted in praise. "We got him!"
"Booyah!" Tucker went with a fist up. "Beat that, sucka!" He shouted.
Jazz, however, noticed something amiss.
"Huh… where's his fire?"
Danny walked up to the trapped armor.
"Well, that takes care of that. Kim is safe?"
"Yup." Sam said with her arms crossed. "I guess we can tell Global Justice it's all okay now."
"Sam!" Jazz chided. "We're not supposed to say!"
"What?" Sam laughed it off. "That shield was designed by your dad and Doctor Possible, it'll take hours to get out of that, by then, Kim will be somewhere else." She looked to Danny. "Right Danny?"
Danny had no answer, he just looked over his shoulder at them. It was an eerie period of silence before Danny smiled. Then his smile turned almost wicked and, after two rings of transformation appeared, revealed he was the wrong Danny Phantom.
The relieved looks on everyone's faces dissolved. The horror of what just happened no present on them.
"Oh no…" Jazz muttered.
Dark Danny fired a ray at the console, destroying it in a small explosion. This caused the shield to disappear.
"Thank you, Sam. I'll kill you faster as a thanks when this is over…" He answered.
With a finger snap, the armor opened, allowing him to enter it. As soon as it closed, and the flames returned to his head, he flew off.
As Sam had her hands to her mouth, horrified at what she's done, while Tucker tried to console her, Jazz pulled out her phone. She began texting to everyone.
"ALERT! THANATOS KNOWS WHERE KIM IS!" Jazz shouted her text as she typed it.
Seeing this text, Danny chose to speed up.
He dialed Jazz.
"Where's Kim?!" He shouted his question.
"Everyone! Battle stations!"
Dr. Director gave the order as Kim was left in a special panic room.
Kim just stood perfectly still, something Ron noticed and found off.
"KP? Why are you so… calm?" He asked.
"Just trying to maintain composure." Kim said, figuring she'd need it.
Ron then studied Kim suspiciously.
Hmm… is she a hologram again?
He poked her shoulder, proving she is solid. She took notice and seemed a bit annoyed.
"What are you doing?"
Ron put his hands behind his back and grinned sheepishly.
"Nothing!" He lied.
That's when the sound of an explosion happened. It caught their attention.
Using passwords, three people entered. Those being her father, and Jack and Maddie Fenton. All of them armed with blasters.
"He's here?" Kim asked.
"Afraid so." James said. He held up the blaster. "He gets to you through me!"
Kim had a look of concern on her face.
"Uh… Dad. I should say something."
"Later." He said as he, and the Fentons, aimed blasters at the door. "For now, keeping you alive is your top priority!"
That's when the vaulted door was punched down. And the one who did it was still standing there, about to take a few steps forward.
"Stop him!"
Dr. Director shouted as she and her men stormed him from the destroyed doorway, aiming their blasters at him.
Jack and Maddie did the same.
"One more step, and you're swiss cheese!" Jack warned.
Thanatos only scoffed. That's when he rose a hand.
"Here's a little trick Danny won't pick up for a few years. It's called… the void."
With a snap of his fingers, darkness soon engulfed the room.
"FIRE!" Director ordered.
Suddenly, blasts of energy were fired. However, there was no sound of anyone being shot.
That's when the darkness lifted.
Thanatos was perfectly still. Everyone was on high alert, keeping their guns ready to fire.
That's when Jack noticed something.
"Where are his flames?"
"Hey…"
Everyone gasped in surprise at the voice they just heard. Once they turned to hear the source of that voice, all of them were shocked to see who it was.
It was Dark Danny himself, standing in front of them with a smug smirk and his hands behind his back.
They knew of it via Danny, but still couldn't believe it. Jack blinked a few times. Ron had to rub his eyes. Ann Possible and her sons were looking in down the hallway and could see as well. All of them were just as shocked.
"It... it can't be..." Maddie said, tears going down her eyes as she had her hands on her mouth. "It's really true..."
"Yes... it is." Dark Danny answered with amused look on his face. He took a step forward, but the GJ agents aimed their blasters at him. "Shoot me and you all die..."
Seeing that they don't really have a chance against this foe, Director gave a hand sign to stand down.
James, undaunted, raised his gun.
"Stay away from my little girl!" That's when someone got in his way, someone he did not want to fire. "JACK?! What are you doing?!"
Jack, and his wife, slowly approached their son's evil lookalike, to the shock of their allies. They were both heartbroken to see their son's face on this monster, and felt they had to in some way reason with him.
"Listen to me... you were our son once, remember?" Jack asked.
"Whatever happened to... make you this way... it doesn't have to be that way." Maddie was on the verge of breaking down.
Dark Danny only scoffed.
"What? Give up what I am? No thanks... I love what I've become... and what I will become..." Dark Danny said with an evil grin.
Jack had only one option left.
"Please son... please, Danny?"
The evil grin was gone. Now there was a very angry look on his face.
"No... the part of me that was your son has been dead for a long time. That's not my name..."
Jack gulped.
"Danny-"
"THAT'S NOT MY NAME!" A shout of rage came out.
"STOP!" Kim shouted. She walked up to Dark Danny. "You don't have to kill anyone… I'll go." She pleaded.
"I won't kill them… yet. I need the whole world to watch you die first…"
James tried to take his daughter by the wrist to pull her back.
"Kimmie-Cub, no!"
Kim pulled back.
"Dad, I have to!"
Dark Danny chuckled.
"Well, you've accepted your fate." Dark Danny snapped his fingers, making his armor reach in and grab her by her arm. "You should all learn from her… I'm inevitable."
He then creates a portal with a flick of his hand.
The armor flew in, carrying Kim with it. Dark Danny then followed, making the portal close.
Once it was done, the real Danny finally came in. He looked around, ready to step in, when he saw the horrified look on everyone's faces.
Including James'…
"He took her…"
Back in his armor, Thanatos tossed Kim onto the floor, allowing her a moment to observe her surroundings. Her eyebrows rose.
"Isn't this-"
"The same island? It is."
It was the island tower Vlad Plasmius used 2 years prior in his plot for world domination. Where he attempted to attack the Earth with an asteroid unless the world gave into his demands. Only now, it's been restored. Last they were here, it was in ruins. This was significant for a reason.
"How is it not a wreck anymore?"
"It was here that idiot cheesehead thought he could play god… it will be the first part of my ascension to one…" Thanatos told her. "While I was locked up, Vlad and Psychobos were quietly rebuilding this part as a means of repeating his attempt at world domination."
"And now you're doing the same?" Kim asked.
"Exactly." He said, walking towards the console, pressing buttons. "In mere minutes… I'll broadcast to the whole world what I'm going to do."
"And conveniently, so Danny could see too in case he's not coming, right?"
"Oh, he's coming." He says. "It'll take a while before the M.R.M. shows me what I want to see, but I know he'll be bent on hunting me down and saving you. And he'll be too late." He looked over his shoulder. "You know, this is the second time I've killed you. In my timeline, I killed you and your idiot friend pretty early in my reign. I also killed most of his little dates. Supergirl was my favorite… I had plenty of fun before I snuffed her out." Hearing that made Kim's glare more venomous. "I'm actually surprised any girl, including you, would ever be his girlfriend. I'd high-five him if I didn't hate the idea of being so weak…"
Kim got back on her feet.
"What's weak about being happy?" She questioned.
"I can't exist in a world where he is happy. I'm happy how I am, free of weak human emotions…"
Kim decided to press his buttons, crossing her arms. "So… you like not being Danny?"
Thanatos turned around quickly, pointing a finger at her.
"Do not remind me of who I once was!" He shouted.
Kim glared back at him. Once Thanatos turned his back to her, she smiled.
As though she had a plan.
He didn't bother to wait.
Even as everyone was getting the Quantum Cannon ready, Danny was flying as fast as he could. Kim's Kimmunicator on her wrist had been given a tracking device and Wade was able to find it. Carrying Kim's old Kimmunicator to track it, Danny was following it over the waters.
That's when it went off. Danny answered.
"Wade, not now!" He stated. "I'm almost there!"
"Thanatos is making a broadcast!" Wade said. He typed. "Here, take a look."
It then cuts to Thanatos, looking into the camera.
"People of Earth… I am Thanatos, the god of Death. I am the one who destroyed Quahog, the one who assaulted the CIA, and who attacked Danny Phantom on his graduation. However, you all know me by a different name…"
Danny rose a brow. What's he doing? That's when Thanatos's armor opened from the back. Danny was shocked. He wouldn't…
He did. He got out of his armor, revealing himself to the world. He presented himself with a big, evil grin.
"I used to be Danny Phantom…"
Everyone around the world watching just stopped what they were doing. From WOOHP, to Metroville, to even Acmeville.
In fact, one family in particular was watching.
The Kaboom family just froze there, with Katie rubbing her eyes to make sure she wasn't seeing things.
"Danny?" She gasped.
Suddenly, memories were flashing in her mind.
Meanwhile, Dark Danny continued.
"The Danny Phantom you knew rejected a future as me… so I'm going to make sure he has no choice." He said with an evil smile. He then returned to his armor, which reactivated. "I will take Kim Possible's life in front of everyone, to show Danny Phantom cannot defy me…"
"DON'T COUNT ON IT!"
Danny flew in and tackled Thanatos into the floor.
With a look of rage, Danny started blasting in his foe's face.
However, this did not bother the evil armored villain, who just backhanded Danny off him.
Getting back on his feet, Thanatos only scoffed at him.
"I figured you'd get here fast."
"Why would you reveal yourself to the world?!" Danny questioned.
"To make things harder for you…" He admitted. "When the world sees me take her life, they'll turn on you, knowing you're destined to be me. As I said… I'm inevitable…"
"I beg to differ!" Danny shouted, firing a barrage of ghost rays.
His blasts were wild, unfocus, and very destructive, creating a large cloud of smoke.
Once it cleared, Thanatos remained, unfazed.
"Are you done?" He asked, slightly bored. "Are you finished defying me?"
"I told you before! I'll never turn into you!"
Thanatos just groaned in annoyance.
Danny flew at Thanatos, but the older Phantom grabbed his fist and slammed him into the ground. Before Danny could do anything else, he's hit with a barrage of punches that render him injured and unable to get up.
That's when the older Phantom grabbed Danny by the leg and hoisted him up.
He presented Danny to the hovering drones that filmed what's going on.
"Behold, your little hero! This boy… is no god!"
"STOP!" Kim called out. She walked up to him, looking very afraid. "Just do it. Do not hurt anyone anymore!"
Thanatos found this amusing.
"Very well…"
He tossed Danny aside.
"STOP!" The voice of James Possible called out.
Thanatos, getting annoyed, looked up.
That's when a Global Justice aircraft, flown by Will Du, was there in the air. The cargo door opened up and revealed the signature Quantum Cannon being aimed at him.
It was being aimed by James Possible, with Azmuth, Ford Pines, and Nora Wakeman at his sides.
Ron and Rufus were behind, watching with much concern.
"The cannon should be ready." Wakeman said.
"Indeed. With the addition of Galvan tech, it will work." Azmuth stated.
"Here we go!" James shouted.
With a press of a button, he fired the cannon at Thanatos.
Once the green blast hit Thanatos, he seemed to have just frozen.
With that, the ship landed atop the tower.
"Kimberly, Daniel, let's go!" Ford Pines shouted.
As Danny was about to get up, and Kim made a few steps, a laugh was heard from Thanatos. One that erupted into hysterical cackling as his shoulders bobbed up and down.
All of them gasped in shock.
"What?" Azmuth questioned, completely dumbfounded. "That… should have worked!"
"I already had precautions before you even made that stupid thing! It has no power over me!" He shouted. "Now…"
He flew fast and grabbed Kim around the neck, lifting her up.
"NO!" James was about to run, but Ford and Will held him back. "LET ME GO!" He demanded.
The Specter Speeder landed as well, with the Fentons coming out with weapons, and Ann with her sons, looking to see what's going on and gasped.
Dani Phantom landed nearby and readied her fists.
However, with a finger snap, he created a dome shield to keep everyone out.
"Like I said…" Thanatos said as he held Kim up and readied his weapon that left his back and entered his hand. "I'm inevitable…"
Danny ran to the dome and started pounding his fists.
"NO!" He shouted. "NO! PLEASE!"
Thanatos readied the blade as Kim's parents were running towards the dome.
As Thanatos readied his blade, Kim looked to Danny.
In that split second, he saw her smile assuringly.
Danny stopped and looked surprised to see that look.
Why is she smiling?
That's when Kim smiled smugly at Thanatos before, to his surprise, her skin started melting.
Thanatos' eyes widened.
"WHAT?!"
Everyone else gasped in shock as well.
What was in his hand was not Kim, but something metallic.
"A synthodrone?" Danny questioned.
"AHA!" Ron shouted. "I knew something was up with her!"
That's when the synthodrone started shaking, with her eyes glowing green.
"Wait… what?!" Thanatos questioned. The drone exploded, shocking him and making him call out in minor pain. "WHAT IS THIS?!"
Distracted, his shield disappeared, though nobody approached him.
However, a laugh was heard.
Rising into view was a smaller hovercraft, one piloted by Doctor Drakken and Shego.
"Got you, sucker!" Drakken shouted mockingly at Thanatos.
"You think you can get away with getting rid of Kimmie?!" Shego added in.
"Nobody but nobody destroys Kim Possible, save for us!" Drakken stated.
Thanatos glared at them for moment when he noticed something.
"Wait… Danny's memories… they're… not coming to me as fast anymore… What did you do?!"
"That explosion was meant to short out the M.R.M!" Drakken stated.
Hearing this, Thanatos had his hands glow. He glared at them with a desire to kill.
"YOU SHALL PAY FOR YOUR HUBRIS!"
He rose his hands and readied to fire.
Seeing this and gasping, Drakken quickly pushed Shego off the craft.
As she fell, she only had one brief look at him.
"DR. D?!" Suddenly, Drakken and the ship were engulfed in a large stream of energy. Shego landed and gasped in horror. "NO!"
Once the blast was done, there was nothing left.
Not satisfied, Thanatos huffed. That's when he almost fell over, clutching onto his chest.
"Annoying fool…" He muttered to himself. "I only have one day left thanks to that idiot… Fine then, Plan B!"
With a snap of his fingers, he made the area dark once again, causing gasp.
"What happened?!" Danny questioned.
"Where's that metal freak?!" Shego demanded loudly.
"WHOA!" James called out.
"JP?!" Jack questioned.
Ann could be heard screaming.
That's when the darkness started to fade away. Once it did, Thanatos was gone.
"GUYS!" Ron shouted. "Mr. and Mrs. Doctor P are gone!"
Everyone looked around, seeing they were gone as well.
"Look!" Dani pointed to where the Quantum Cannon was.
It's gone, a portal was closing. Danny flew to it, failing to reach in time as it closed.
Danny landed on a knee, pounding a fist onto the floor in anger. He didn't bother looking up, only kept to his thoughts as he stared at where his foe likely left.
"Why'd he take them?!" Maddie questioned.
"What was that?!" Jazz asked.
That's when the sounds of the elevator opening happened.
"He called it the Void." Jim answered.
"He said it's a new power, but where are our parents?!" Tim questioned.
"We'll find them." Will Du said.
"We better… becau-"
Jazz's words were cut off. Danny was too angry with himself to notice this still. He just kept starting.
"KP!"
Ron's words caught his attention, making Danny stop scowling at the floor and slowly turn his head.
He saw everyone was surrounding someone, talking to her. After she motioned for them to split, they did so, allowing Danny to get a look at her.
It was Kim Possible, in her original mission outfit.
Suddenly, Danny's anger over Thanatos escaping and kidnapping the Possible parents disappeared. There she was, smiling at him.
He stood up and saw her, a smile coming to his face.
"Kim…" He said, overjoyed. He walked to her, but stopped inches before reaching her. A thought came to him that made him worried. "Wait… is this you, like, the real you or another synthodrone?"
Kim smiled, a small laugh came from her before she quickly kissed his lips.
"Yes… it's really me." She said.
Danny threw out all thoughts, he quickly kissed Kim deeply, which she returned. Once that was done, he didn't stop hugging her, which she returned.
"How?" He asked.
"Drakken and Shego… I'll explain later." They parted. "Right now… we gotta find my parents and stop Thanatos from whatever he's got in store for them…"
Danny nodded.
"Right…"
... You know he's gonna show up... may as well.. Come out, Wade...
Hey, everyone!
*sigh* Just say what you want to say and let's get this over with.
Okay... I also want Sunset Shimmer as a girl I ship Danny with!
Okay... what else?
That's about it.
... Really?
Also, can you make an M rated version of that Batman and Poison Ivy fic? Maybe, a version of Batman proposing to her instead of Catwoman, since Harley's convinced they'd be happy together?
*rolls eyes* Oh boy...
What?! You're a fanfic author! You can do whatever you want! Like me! I used the Infinity Gauntlet to make Spider-Marvel canon in this universe and helped my boy Bullseye become a daddy!
Wait, what?
And by the way! I am very offended those Warners used my phrase in Danny and Kara!
Tell flower princess11, she wrote that.
But YOU helped her on that bit! And you let them make an appearance!
Okay! But is that all?! Like, is there anything else you want?!
Hmm... chimichangas?
Anything I can do for you at this moment?!
No, not really...
LEAVE!
Okay! Jeez!
...
*sigh* Finally! So-
Also, I'm expecting you make me and Harls have kids...
...
Hmm, okay, sure. I can do that.
Yippee! See you either later in this story of the Gwen timeline!
Okay- wait... WHAT?!
Oh dear... well, until then.
Thank you, flower princess11 for helping me and suggesting Danny see that look into the future.
We have ourselves a three-parter.
Let's find out if Danny can stop his evil doppelganger from an alternate timeline!
Also, forgot to mention this last time, but Danny curbstomping Warhok was taken from Mastered Ultra Instinct Goku fighting Jiren.
As for what happened to Drakken, well, next chapter is going to reveal a little something to help out all those Thanatos has taken out.
Fiona Starblade: It seems you were the only one who didn't see it coming.
Flower princess11: I was so tempted to tell you.
wiseguy2415: Indeed.
Batguy01: He did mention taking out Supergirl.
Invader Johnny: The worst is is still yet to come.
61394: Well, Danny only won because he surprised Dark Danny with the Ghostly Wail. As we see, Dark Danny had a counter for it. And yes, it's sort of a mind link, hench how he knew.
Jebest4781: Stay tuned!
Leonardo: That is something I'm planning for that story instead.
Luiz4200: Worse. He's trying to not only make Danny go bad, but also make sure he turns himself into a god.
SofiPhan29: Indeed.
And to everyone else... good job figuring it out.
