The doors opened in the throne room of Spectral Castle, the home of Queen Annaya ruler of the Ghost Zone. After receiving a message from Danny about what happened with Andrew's cousin and the arrival of their friends from the other dimension, she was shocked at first but then offered any assistance that they needed.
She watched as Danny, Dayla, Dani, Dale, Team Phantom, Older Dani, Older Danny and Kayla enter the room. She walked up to Andrew and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder and said, "Do not fear my friend. We will come up with a plan to save your cousin without giving Anandlok what he wants. I swear to you as queen, that no harm will come to Tabitha."
"Thank you. We appreciate the assistance your Majesty." Andrew said, giving her a sad smile.
"Allow us to introduce our alternate dimensional counterparts Older Danny and Danielle Fenton / Phantom and our new ally Princess Kayla." Dayla said, gesturing to their friends.
"It's an honour to meet you all." Annaya said smiling at them.
"It's great to finally meet you as well, your Majesty." Older Danny said. "I had never thought that the Ghost Zone would finally have a ruler. Well at least in alternate universes."
"Does the Ghost Zone in your world have one? I hope it's not my father's dimensional counterpart." Annaya said, a little worried.
"No! Absolutely not, he's been defeated for good by Danny. Been 15 years since he defeated him and he's still imprisoned in the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep. Our Ghost Zone doesn't have a ruler." Older Dani assured the queen who then sighed with relief.
"Our Ghost Zone is also the flipped side of the whole universe instead of just Earth. There are many dimensional planes connected to other worlds and take light years to get to one of them. If you were the ruler of the Ghost Zone in our universe, you would just be the ruler of the Earth dimensional plan, your Majesty." Older Danny then said.
"That's very interesting. Someday you two will need to talk to me about your Ghost Zone." Annaya said in amazement.
She then approached and looked at Kayla.
"Greetings your Majesty. It's nice to finally meet you. I am Princess Kayla, heir to the Harvesters, leader of a coalition force and new ally to Team Phantom." Kayla said and before kneeling a bit to show respect and doing royal protocol.
"I never thought I would meet another ghost princess. It's nice to meet you, your highness." Annaya said.
She then gestured for her to hold out her hand. Kayla did so and then Kayla gently took it and looked at her hand before looking at her eyes, she could see that this female ghost alien has been fighting for so long and some pain she could see.
"You have been fighting for so long dear one. I can see it in your eyes and understand the pain and weight that fate has placed upon your shoulders to carry." Annaya said with sympathy.
"If you want your Majesty, I can show you the war through my telepathic powers." Kayla offered.
"Wait a minute, if I remember correctly, your telepathic powers are powerful and dangerous that you can kill someone by mind frying." Older Danny said.
"Yeah, no offence but Danny, Older Danny, Older Dani and I know what it's like to be mind fried by a Harvester. Not a pleasant experience. " Dayla said, haunted by the memory of the experience.
"And Hertha used hers against me. It was bad and it hurts as well." Older Dani added.
"That may be true, my telepathic powers are dangerous, more powerful than a regular Harvester's that I can kill someone by mind frying, but I can control my telepathic abilities. Of course I can use my telepathy to kill an enemy or simply neutralise an enemy and give it a chance to surrender." Kayla explained.
"Are your sure you want to do this your Majesty?" Jazz asked.
"I'll do it. I want to see what you've been through your Highness." Annaya said, agreeing to allow Kayla to use her powers on her.
"Okay, but I should warn you it's going to hurt. It's like similar to having a migraine headache." Kayla warned.
"I'll try and handle it." Annaya said.
"Alright then. Just tell me when to stop your Majesty. Now close your eyes." Kayla instructed.
Annaya closed her eyes and then Kayla began to use her telepathic powers on her. Annaya heard the pitching sound coming from Kayla's telepathy and began to groan in pain a little. Afterwards, she began to see vision of the war Kayla has fought against her siblings for millennia and saw so much horror, destruction and death.
She first saw Kayla beside Hertha as she commenced a harvest on an alien world, but then saw her show sympathy and guilt for those that became victims. Annaya then saw Kayla rebelling against her siblings and kind, she then saw the war between the Harvesters and Kayla and her coalition, who are victims of the Harvesters after harvesting their worlds and Ghost Zone dimensional planes. She then saw Kayla's siblings harvesting many worlds and in some harvests, Kayla and her coalition stop them or try to stop them. The battles resulting in either Kayla being victorious or her siblings successfully harvesting a planet and its Ghost Zone dimensional plane.
She also saw Hertha's four attempted harvests on Earth, all ending in failure. She also saw Hertha's demise and finally, she saw what was once Hertha's, now Camila's plan for Earth and looked in horror. She then saw the massive drill shooting an ecto-beam over Lake Michigan near Chicago and saw the Harvesters and Camila slaughtering the entire human race, including Team Phantom and the ghosts at the Ghost Zone to extinction.
She then saw Earth in space and suddenly watched as the Earth's atmosphere and the water disappearing, becoming dead and exposed to the hostile environment of outer space along with its Ghost Zone dimensional plane, becomes destroyed. Seeing enough, Annaya opened her eyes and gasped in horror making Kayla stop using her telepathy.
A few small tears of sadness fell from her eyes and she hugged Kayla, showing her sympathy and understanding as she said, "To see all that destruction, horror and death…what a horrific war for you to be in. So much worse than they war that overthrew my father. I'm sorry you have to fight against your siblings. I know what that's like and as I said, I understand the pain and weight that fate has placed upon your shoulders to carry. Your coalition of alien refugees and their ghost counterparts from fallen worlds trust and depends heavily on you."
"Someone has to carry it and try and save planets from being destroyed by my siblings." Kayla said.
Annaya nodded and said, "I too have known what it's like to fight against my own family and I understand what you must be going through."
"Thank you, your Majesty for your kind words." Kayla said, with a sad smile which Annaya smiled back.
Annaya then began addressing the matter at hand, "Now, we need to come up with a plan to rescue Tabitha without giving you four to Anandlok. One thing's for certain, I will have Walker and some of his officers standing by ready to arrest Anandlok and all those involved in this, but they will remain in the shadows until the time is right. We don't want him to grow suspicious and kill Tabitha before we have a chance to rescue her."
Suddenly, Frostbite and Zortheus entered the room. Frostbite then said, "Zortheus and I heard that Anandlok had kidnapped the human cousin of Andrew. We wish to help."
He then noticed Older Danny and Dani and asked in confusion, "Umm….why are there older versions of Danny and Dani Phantom?"
Frostbite, meet Dani and I's alternate older selves from another universe." Danny said, introducing Older Dani and Danny.
Frostbite was shocked at first, but he got over it and smiled as he said, "I never thought I would see alternate versions of the Great Ones. It's an honour to meet you two."
"Pleasure to meet you too Alternate Frostbite." Older Dani said.
"Same. Anyway, back to the matter at hand." Older Danny said, bringing everyone's attention back to the main focus of the meeting.
"What is it that he wants?" Zortheus asked.
"Us." Dani said as she gestured to herself and then Dale, Danny, Dayla, Older Danny and Older Dani. "He wants us and our dimensional counterparts in thermoses brought to him or he's gonna order Skulker to cut the rope and send Tabitha to be eaten by the Carnivorous Canyon."
"I don't know why he wants Dani and I for. We're not from this universe, and my universe's Earth has a ghost threat that needs to be stopped." Older Danny said.
"Seriously, I mean sure Danny and I interfered with Alternate Skulker's and Ember's attack but still, why would he want us? We barely know this Anandlok and as Danny said, we have problems back at our universe that Danny, Kayla and I need to stop." Older Danny added.
"We need to find a way to save Tabitha without giving ourselves up to be destroyed." Dale said.
Zortheus suddenly thought of something and said, "Then we should give him exactly what he wants, without really giving him want he wants."
"What do you mean? As in….duplications?" Jack asked.
"No. Duplications would be too obvious as they disappear as soon as they take damage, but magic will help." Zortheus answered.
He then turned to Danny, Dayla, Dale, Dani, Older Danny and Older Dani and said, "Hold still you six."
He aimed his hands at them and said an incantation, "Edgebonoutoosis."
His energy hit them and suddenly, standing in front of them were very real copies of Danny, Dale, Dani, Dayla, Older Danny and Older Dani.
"Wow! What did you do?" Valerie asked.
"This is more than just a duplication spell, this spell can make exact copies of anything I cast the spell on and they can only disappear when I command them to." Zortheus.
"Really weird to see a copy of myself but pretty nice and cool as well." Older Danny said.
"Geeze….I don't know how to feel considering I am a….well you know." Older Dani said, showing her uneasiness.
"I know how you're feeling Older Dani. I feel the same way." Dani said.
"Same and I don't like to think about that." Dale added.
"Which is I am against cloning, especially human cloning." Older Dani said, remembering how it was human cloning that created her in the first place.
"So they're not gonna bark like dogs?" Sonya asked.
They all gave her strange looks and then she said, "What? It happened when Alex duplicated herself and she thought of dogs."
"Please do not compare my magic to Wizards of Waverly Place…..even if it was a good show." Zortheus said seriously, before smiling and admitting he liked the show.
"You know Danny, I wonder if Strange can do that spell as well." Older Dani wondered.
"I don't know. If we ever see him again, we'll ask." Older Danny said.
"Strange? Who is this Strange?" Zortheus asked.
"He's a powerful sorcerer and a leading member of some order called the Masters of the Mystic Arts. We fought alongside him before." Older Danny answered, clearing the confusion.
"Sorcerers in your universe? Interesting." Zortheus said.
"Alright, we now have the advantage and now all we need to do is plan our move." Danny said.
Kayla nodded and said, "Yes, we must take down this Anandlok and save Andrew's cousin. Time is very critical for both our worlds and now, let's plan our victory."'
All of them gathered and began to plan their rescue mission to save Tabitha.
