"Viceroy!" A loud voice caught the attention of the teens and... adult. "How does my brilliant invention work?" The man called loudly, emphasising the my way too much.

"Well Mr. McFist. If you made the darn thing, why don't you control it?" An overly sarcastic tone replied.

"I know how! Just wanted to make sure you knew how!"

"Mm-hmm. Okay then, give me the controls."

The ghosts and dragon looked in the direction of the voices curiously, only to find nothing. As soon as Danny turned back to Vlad -dismissing the random conversation- a massive robot appeared out of nowhere, snatching the pixie and swatting Vlad away. Danny and Jake blinked a few times, then processed what had happened. Jake was first to respond, chasing after the grabber-arm, then Danny followed. Why would a robot want the pixie? Skulker? He flew past Jake and shot a quick energy beam at the bot, taking off the arm that held the pixie. Relatively weak metal for a ghost, besides, they didn't put a shield up or anything. Danny glanced behind him to spot that Jake had caught the pixie, safely carrying it to the ground. Phantom nodded and flew down to the robot, this would be an easy clean-up.

Danny jerked to the left as a missile whizzed past him, he stopped and watched the missile for a second, then froze it. He turned back to the robot, curious at its actions, then quickly went intangible, narrowly avoiding another flying projectile. When he became tangible again, Danny rushed to the robot and knocked on the cockpit, floating quite high from the ground. Pretty tall robot. "Hey, I was just wondering, you don't happen to be a ghost named... Oh, let's say... Skulker?"

"Skulker?" The answerer questioned then paused, "VICEROY WHO'S THIS SKULKER THE KID'S TALKING ABOUT?!"

"You don't have to shout Hannibal. You'll make a scene." The other voice, Viceroy (as Danny presumed), replied. "Tell me something... Inviso-Bill? I think I've heard of you before. Anyways, that is a pixie, yes?"

Danny facepalmed and addressed the more serious issue, "It's not Inviso-Bill, I have a name. Danny Phantom."

"Ooo I like this kid." The first voice answered.

"Mm-hmm. It would be beneficial to make a robot that's identical to him."

"Yo! Ghosty! Dis guy thinks he's all that, we should take him down a notch or two don't you think?" Jake's voice cut through the conversation Danny was having. Danny turned away from the robot, suddenly remembering Vlad as well.

"Oh right! Love to stay and chat guys, but I'll be needing this." Danny temporarily turned to the dismantled robot, then flew over to Jake, snatching the pixies from him. He then turned to Plasmius and sent a ghost ray, which bounced off Vlad's perfectly timed ghost shield.

From the corner of his eye, Phantom spotted the robot shoot a missile right at Jake. Startled, Danny dashed to Jake, only to be surprised when the dragon simply bashed the rocket to the side via tail. "Pah! You think a mere missile can take down The American Dragon!" Danny rolled his eyes when Jake made the statement.

The halfa turned to Vlad and asked, "Why're you so quiet all of the sudden Vladdy? Ghost got your tongue?"

"No. I just want my pixies!" He dashed forward, grabbing the pixies' from Danny's loose grasp, "Thank you!" Almost sing-songy-like he floated away a few steps. He then started to fly off.

As soon as Danny followed, three things happened. First, that one annoying robot shot another missile. Next, it was suddenly cut in half. Third, the pixies were out of Vlad's hands.

"Oh these little things? But they're so cute! Who would want to hurt them? That's just mean!" For a second, Danny imagined the judge from the talent show, then shook it off to notice that a ninja clad in black was on the scene. Sorry,The Ninja.

"NINJA!" the robot -McFist was it?- suddenly shouted loudly and randomly shot a barrage of missiles, as if it was an air strike. Danny turned intangible, then remembered Jake and flew over, turning him intangible too. The boys watched as the ninja dodged all of the missiles, then neatly cut the robot in half.

"And that, my boys, is a Ninja destroy-robot-while-taking-a-barrage-of-missiles." He hopped up to the rooftops, "A Ninja exclusive!"

Danny let go of Jake and slowly flew over to the ninja. "Hey, can I have those?" The teen asked -he thought that this ninja seemed pretty trustworthy, even though he might be obnoxious.

"Um, let me think... No! You'll just hurt them!" He looked into the cage again, then unlocked it.

The pixies instantly dashed over to Jake. "American Dragon! You came to save us!"

"Woah woah woah woah, one at a time pixies, this dragon need its space too!" Jake replied as he grinned, a day well done in his books.

"Waitwaitwait a second, I'm the one who saved you, not this..." He paused and looked at Jake, "...Dragon." His eyes widened, "Wait, you're an actual dragon? Not some robot that's freakishly realistic?"

"Hell yeah! I'm no fake!" Jake landed on the rooftop in front of the ninja, "Does this look fake to you?" He blew a ring of fire around the ninja's feet.

Instantly, the ninja jumped around, "Ow! Hot!" When the fire died, he looked up at Phantom, "So.. You're a real...Ghost?"

Danny floated down next to Jake. "And let me guess, you're a real ninja. Not a wannabe." He said almost sarcastically.

The ninja took a few steps back, "Well, that's enough weirdness for one day. I'm outta here. SMOKEBOMB!"

Danny coughed, "Does he have to use the smokebomb?"

"Does he have to be captain obvious?" Jake said in pretty much the same tone.
