A/N: This is it guys! Thank y'all so much for sticking through this wild ride. I can't believe where this went but I certainly wouldn't have gotten here or done so well without all your inspiration. I can't thank everyone enough!

Guest: Thank you! I thought so too. The ghost hunting term will probably stay, the peacekeepers just won't be such, they'll be something different entirely. The next chapter will definitely have the Fentons in it, along with some general glimpses of how things are going to continue in Amity and the wider world. Alas, between revealing her identity and joining the Peace-keepers or keeping it secret and becoming Amity's mix of Batman and Iron Man, Valerie will probably go for the latter. At least for now. Still, if the Peacekeepers need her help, she'll be there.

Thanks for reviewing and all the ideas!

Spirit: Glad you liked it! Agent L thought he'd spotted the loophole Mayor Foley would trap him in and neglected an even stronger case against him. But that's why Agent L isn't a lawyer.

As for Maddie and Jack, while they accept their son, they're still far from accepting all ghosts as people, let alone co-workers, which they'd need to do especially since right now the budding peacekeepers are mostly paladin ghosts on loan by three ghost nations.

Thanks for the compliments and ideas!

Finale

"This is Tina Tori, welcoming loyal viewers to, sadly, the last episode of Ghost Station. Due to repeated lawsuits from former GIW members and legal troubles due to certain unauthorized recordings, we're either ending this show –"

" – Or being drowned in debt."

"So let's end this as we began, with a Q&A from anyone who wants to give us a call? Yes, this is Ghost Station, Tina Tori speaking and yourself?"

"I-I'd prefer anonymous. Um, is that giant plant ghost going to invade Amity again? Cause last time was enough for us. My kids haven't touched a vegetable since."

"Right now Undergrowth and his allied environmental groups are too busy in the Amazon rainforest. On the plus side, decimated habitat is being re-grown at an impossible rate. On the minus side, he can't restore the animals and is decimating the jobs of area farmers and anyone else connected to the beef industry. For now though the only effects on Amity is the prices of beef, milk and cheese."

"So it only seems like vegetables are invading."

"Things aren't that bad Isamu and Amity is low on the list of world environmental damage for Undergrowth to tackle, so he won't be back any time soon. Thank you."

"Hello, this is Isamu Diaz, to whom am I speaking?"

"This is Mr. Manson and I have heard ghosts will be invading our Casper School system. What is our fair Amity Park coming to?"

"Nothing it wasn't already up to before. The schools are just living up to their name and inviting spirits in. However if you're not fond of the spooky sort you'll be glad to hear most education-interested ecto-entities have embraced online courses – something about dying in high school makes it less appealing. Who'd 'ave thought?"

"Well that's a relief. Hanging around those Fentons was bad enough but now a whole school of ghosts?"

"I don't think you have to worry sir. Your house is more haunted than the school."

Click.

"No appreciation for your humor Isamu. Hello, this is Ghost Station –"

" – Spread the word! Those ice ghosts are magiking an ice apocalypse in Canada! It'll be like the Long Night in Game of Thrones!"

"Calm down, the Far Frozen people aren't making it any colder than it was two-hundred years ago. In fact, according to calculations freezing up the arctic melt will stabilize the climate and hopefully stop all those pesky polar vortexes from dropping by for a visit. It certainly won't trigger any apocalypse, ice or otherwise. The Canadian government – and many others – just want the Arctic circle returned to a more pristine state."

"Zombies not included. Next up."

"Hello Mr. Diaz, this is Terri. I's been followin' you'ns since Ghost Station started. Tis a cryin' same ta hear this's the finale. I's just wondering where you'ns headed after this?"

"Well thank you for asking Terri. We've both decided to take a break from the news reporting but I'll be writing more real-life adventures in the form of novels. I've still got lots of material to work through and flesh out. I might even have a partner. Every famous novelist needs a ghost-writer after all. What about you Tina?"

"I'm going full circle in the ghostly business with an application to the new Peace Keepers. Fingers crossed they'll have a place for me."

"I certainly hope so. My new ghost-writer and I'll need the protection. Thank you and next question."

*Beep. Beep. Beep. Incident on Casper High and Main. That's the road Casper High and Main Street, in the middle of town square. All units please report.*

"Uh oh, sounds like there's one last story to cover. Future talk's done, let's focus on the present."

"Why couldn't we have ended this program peacefully?"

"I'll drive, you keep talking."

"Reports conflict on what is causing this new mess. Some blame ghosts. Some say humans are responsible…did someone just say they saw a zombie clown?"

"Is that where we're drawing the line Isamu?"

"Well, ghosts, living or zombies or all of the above, this sounds like a mess of living and ectoplasm. I don't envy anyone who's here to sort it out. Sure you don't want to reconsider that application Tina?"

"Someone needs to sort out these messes and this one's a doozy – living and ectoplasmic people are crowding and swirling around town square. Spirits of all states are gathered so close at this intersection it's almost impossible to tell who's living and who's ghost but they look to be surrounding someone…or something."

"I don't think it's that old statue. Oh hey, Mr. Phantom, or Fenton."

"Don't look!"

"Okay, we're not looking but we've got lots of curious listeners who want to see. What's going on and why are you faced away from the crowd?"

"Put these on. Tucker says they should stop Freakshow's weird new gadget – "

"Mistake Danny Phantom. You should all feast your eyes on me!"

"More like a famine for the eyes. Zombie clown is the most apt description for this guy, though he doesn't have the moaning and groaning mindless zombie thing down. Isamu can you see any better?"

"I am once again the Master of the Circus, but the circus shall be all of Amity Park, and soon, all the world!"

"He's holding some strange device that's making everyone else moan and groan mindlessly. News crews should stay away or use microphones only, we don't want another Ember incident. For that matter so should everyone else. I'd bet all the money from my future book sales that's a mind-control device."

"No bet. I remember this guy from the ghost robberies we've talked about with Danny. That device let him control ghosts and this, unfortunately, must be the new and improved version of that ghostly artifact which let him enslave Danny Phantom. Only now it works on humans and ghosts."

"And Vlad! Danny, watch out! Oh *bleep* a kid shouldn't have to handle this!"

"Come on, let's get closer. If we can take out Freakshow…it's the best we can do."

"Right Tina. Oh, looks like Danny won't be alone. I can see Peace-Keepers on the scene, lead by one of Queen Dorathea's paladins. And it looks like Tucker offered his special glasses to them first. None of them are affected even if Vlad is completely under this freak's control."

"This is just the opening act! My minions, rip those goggles from their faces. Expose their eyes to my glory!"

"Vlad is completely focused on beating the tar out of Danny – ouch, that's got to hurt – and his only saving grace is half this crowd can't fly. Phantom's insults don't seem to do much but at least his ghostly wail lets him whale on Vlad too."

"Ahahahahahaha! Your struggle is futile. Join me, come over to the – ack! Unhand me!"

"Ohh, nice tackle by Jasmine Fenton, who seems to have had the same idea as us. And now she's got hands on the staff."

"Plasmius! Help your mas – !"

"No, Vlad, you are under arrest, come down here. And you Frederich Showenhower, no more commands. You are under arrest for enslavement."

"Jasmine twisted the staff and Freakshow into some kind of Judo throw right into Vlad. Whatever else you can say about Maddie Fenton, she's clearly a good martial arts teacher."

"Now they have Vlad in custody. That's two birds with one stone. Jasmine Fenton! Isamu Diaz, Ghost Station. Are you going to keep Vlad Masters – or Plasmius – under control with that whatchamacallit?"

"No. This was and emergency tactic only to get him into custody. I'll deactivate it now."

"Under arrest? Take that loathsome cheese custard to the under-taker, or release me and I will give you a proper reason to arrest me."

"Not happening fruitloop, but if you behave nicely maybe they'll let you share a cell."

"Whew, Vlad Masters did a vampire proud with that glare. Freakshow had better hope they go to separate prisons."

"Looks like everything's calmed down – "

"No it's not. I recognize those screaming tires. Jack Fenton's headed this way."

"Freeze ghosts. Anyone who harms a hair on our babies' heads bites it."

"Mom! We are both legally grown adults!"

"Dad I thought you weren't supposed to have ecto-weapons." *Kpew!* "Argh, and that's why."

"Madeline, I swear I would never hurt a hair on either of your babies' heads."

"Now those are some doubtful look Tina. Not as dour as the Fentons having their ecto-weapons legally confiscated by their own daughter. But fair's fair, they aren't registered to have them."

"We will be getting permits Mr. Diaz."

"Of course Dr's. Fenton, never thought you wouldn't. Though I'd ask why you need ecto-guns. After all this mess wasn't caused by a ghost and didn't you change your tune after your son's revelation?"

"Well…yes…but-but ghosts can still be dangerous. And Danny and Jazz. They're out there fighting these ectoplasmic monsters all alone."

"We've been doing this for years mom. Besides, Mr. Diaz is right, our rehabilitation programs have been working wonders with proper funding. There are fewer aggressive ghosts. Today's attack was an unusual one and the monster behind it was fully human. You can't protect us with ecto weapons. You almost accidentally hit Danny trying!"

"And a refreshing change from being shot on purpose."

"Ouch, but Danny and Jasmine Fenton are right Dr's Fentons'. If you want to protect anyone, you're better off making shields."

"That I can pass through!"

"That won't lock your son out."

"Ooohhh! That gives me a brilliant idea!"

"Before you run off with this idea Mr. Fenton, a couple quick questions for both of you?"

"Fire away."

"Right. You changed your tune about ghosts for your son, but what about all the other ghosts who are someone else's son?"

"Danno's only half ghost!"

"…Ghost…sentience…did not occur to us – "

"Until your son was the ghost."

"Do you two want your interview? Then stop interrupting. Jack and I admit we had a very large blind spot. It…could have cost us…very dearly."

"Mom, dad, it's already cost other people very dearly. What would you do if those people had shot me out of the sky instead? What were you prepared to do just now?"

"…"

"I-I think that's it. Got stuff to invent. Goodbye!"

"Well, that wraps this mess up. Freakshow and Vlad Masters-Plasmius are both in custody and the Peace Keeper's problem now."

" – And each other."

"All Fentons are clearing the scene so the town square should be safe to drive through now. Just as well because tomorrow promises to be a most exciting and unique Day of the Dead with the main event hosted right here, all day November first!"

".Ghost Station has given up the ghost. This is Isamu Diaz, hoping to see you at my future book signings."

"And Tina Tori, hoping not to see you on my future missions."

A/N: And that's a wrap! On Halloween, of course. Since this story couldn't continue forever I needed a reason in-universe for Ghost Station to stop and found one once Isamu snuck into GIW headquarters to record L's damning words. Technically that's government trespassing and unauthorized recordings and state secret stuff.

It's been a fun ride and I'm glad it worked out that I posted the last chapter in October. Thank you all for your comments, critiques, suggestions and encouragement! I've enjoyed every last one of them and they've made this story so much better than I ever could have written on my own.

Happy Halloween!
