The Fenton lab was an unsettling place to be, if you know the meaning behind it as the group gathered to confirm their plans for the weekend as Danny asked, still unsure who or rather what was the mech or exosuit that came to aid him in the big fight. Cedric was being very cryptic about it as he asked with an old picture of Ember on the computer. "Ember?" Sam asked just for clarity as Topaz spoke.
"Present." They nodded as Tucker was the one asking as Topaz's file was sorted into the 'Need for Update' File.
"Skulker?"
"Ghost Zone." The file went into the 'Portal' icon as the final ghost was brought up.
"Box Ghost?"
"Who cares?" All answered as the Box Ghost popped his head out of the Portal.
"Hey! I have feelings too, you know!" Talia sighed before she punched the close button and the Portal slammed shut on the Box Ghost as Danny typed away on the keyboard before he voiced.
"All enemies captured, and all friends and allies accounted for, which means, as promised, the one hundred percent ghost-free weekend o'fun starts now." They beamed to him as their collection of goods were ready for the period as Danny pushed 'Enter', but the computer said otherwise as a red bar appeared with a hard drive, semi-human like, clutched its stomach as Danny questioned. "Hard drive full?" He moved the cursor about to work on getting rid of some of the files that were filling up the hard drive. "Well, hang on, I'll just delete some old-" He clicked the 'Personal' folder, which had the D-P icon for it, to get a picture of Paulina posing seductively at them as Sam and Topaz mused with frowns and crossed arms.
"Niiice." Danny was confused as Tucker exclaimed.
"I am so downloading that!" He digital downloaded it onto his PDA before it appeared on his device as Danny spoke, sure of himself instead of nervous.
"Did I... forget to delete this one? That's weird." He didn't delete it right away as the data use for it was minor so he went to the next greater thing that he could find, a purple skull with the word 'DOOMED' on it, unaware of Tucker's sudden panic as he spoke. "Oh, hey, look, uh, here's something I can delete, this old version of Doomed." He moved the icon toward the trash can before Tucker could actually exclaim.
"Danny, wait! That's the video game where you trapped-" Too little, too late as the trash can icon flashed green to the deleted game with cracks forming before it erupted into Nicolai Technus as he cackled.
"I, Technus, am free at last!" The party looked surprised before frowning to the ghost slamming into the sides of the computer and into the screen itself before Topaz spoke.
"What the hey, how did you..."
"Honestly, I am just as confused as you here, Topaz." Technus recovered as he mused from being trapped in a computer.
"Well, free-ish." The set-up lifted up as Technus made his speech. "But, even from the confines of this computer, I, Technus, will rule once more! But first-" He brought up a palette program before doodling a mustache and glasses on the picture of Paulina before Danny exclaimed to the act of the floating computer.
"Hey, do you know how many digital collectibles I had to trade for that?" Technus didn't really care from the next actions as the CPU launched itself and slammed into Danny just as he slipped into Phantom form, the blow lessened before the disc drive fired wires that quickly wrapped themselves around Sam and Tucker as the others got out of the way and caused Tucker to drop his PDA, its wireless synchronization still on, while Technus laughed in victory.
Danny, on recovering got an idea and quickly grabbed the Ghost Catcher before swiping the monitor with it, pulling Technus out of it as he charged ecto-blasts and caused the webcam to blast a ray at the bound friends to Danny's panic as Technus went into a monologue. "Too bad, you can't expunge me and save your friends at the same time, eh?"
"Then I'll just have to be in two places at once!" Danny made to duplicate, but somehow, it didn't work out so well for him as what came form it was an abomination of body parts and him, the free trio grimacing to the mess before Sam exclaimed.
"Oh, for the love of Pete, here!" She quickly jumped away with Tucker on her back, as the laser passed them, but the jump also pulled out the whole setup as everything shut down, Technus was worried, but didn't linger as he took to green mist and entered himself into the only piece of technology still on, the screen reading 'Evil Download Complete', the device in question just resting on the deck somehow as Sam pulled off the cords and asked Danny who was still somehow failing his duplication. "Weekend o'fun starting yet?" Danny snapped right back to himself as he answered with certainty.
"Phew. It's starting now." Sadly, that too was out of the question as Technus schemed from inside the PDA, ALSO defacing Tucker's copy of Paulina's image with a laugh before the screen went into static, the party more confused as to what just happened with Danny, he was able to duplicated in the past, with the hunters, and doubled that number against Pariah, so what happened to result in that amalgamation...?
If Danny's first time with a scientist was going to be like Cedric, he would rather not go in at all as Cedric hummed before he answered with a grim tone, his own PDA in hand and reinforced with the notion that Technus could still be around. "It's official, your power of duplication has been shut down in the face of Dark, it will take time for it to return, but for now, you are not in any state of ability to be using duplication for any of this ghost hunting right now."
"Yeesh, tough break, Baby-Pop." Topaz hummed with a pat on the back, but Danny just groaned to the 'sympathetic' smile on her face as Talia spoke up as well.
"Don't worry, we'll cover the ghost hunting for now if Technus or any other ghost is going to be giving us trouble." Danny quietly nodded as Sam checked her watch, annoyed as the group agreed to meet at Fenton Works for the day plan, but Tucker was running late as he drove up in his electric scooter and answered to the waiting band.
"Sorry I'm late. My PDA's acting wonky." Sam raised her brows in confusion as she inquired.
"Wonky?" Danny stood up from the investigating pair on his sides as he spoke.
"Maybe you should just junk this thing and get a new one." Of course, the PDA acted up right then and zapped Danny somehow as he exclaimed, none of them aware that Technus was hiding in the system. "Ow! It was just a suggestion!" The screen went to static again as Tucker mused with disappointment.
"Looks like we're gonna miss the movie."
"Unless we find some way to ignore all speed limits, red lights and certain laws of physics." Cedric shook his head with Talia as Topaz just raised a brow to the idea before Danny, frowning for a second, suddenly smiled as if the idea he got was an answer to relief. Cedric could only voice the look.
"Here we go..."
Danny's idea was more or less murder on the road as Cedric didn't loan out his jeep to them to ride, nor did it possess the horsepower to push it, so they trio going to the movies took the reckless option, Jack Fenton's GAV ride when motivated by ghosts, Tucker finding his voice to inquire with the trio in fear of the crazy driving skill of Jack Fenton. "Could you have just flown us?"
"The way my dad drives, this is faster." Danny answered as Jack asked.
"Are you kids sure there's a ghost in that movie theatre?"
"Absolutely!" Danny bluffed as he continued. "And if not, you can pick us up in two hours and six minutes."
"Previews." Sam Corrected as Danny revised.
"Two hours and twenty-six minutes." Somehow, that worked as Jack peered to the screen in the center of the GAV's driving console.
"Good thing, I installed the Fenton On-Board Computer to plot our clearest route." That was a good thing to have, but the situation developed from there as, somehow, Tucker's PDA was still transmitting and Technus took the chance to beam himself into the GAV, deface a picture of Jack, and take over the vehicle as Technus locked them all down with seat belts as Danny asked.
"Um, dad, is this some new safety feature?"
"Safety features? Safety features are for punks!" Jack exclaimed as the RV took off into the air as it changed to a face of Technus and a logo for him as the four yelled as the RV soared before angling to slam into an electronics store as Jack exclaimed once more. "Hang on, kids! I'm deploying the Fenton Ejector!" He reached from the restraints and slammed it as the RV hit the ground and they launched out of it as the possessed RV crashed into the store, the party descending with parachutes as Tucker spoke to Danny.
"Next time, your mum's driving." Jack crashed before his chute deployed, he looking no worse for wear as Danny landed, the chute hiding his change as he took off into the store with people running out of it before he approached the crashed ride before the TOWER of screens lit up with skulls before becoming Technus's face before the appliances came to life to his laughter as he mused.
"Plasma screen, surround sound, I don't know what this thing does. Oooh, these are on sale!" Parts and pieces, monitors and screens gathered on the RV before it erupted in power as Danny glanced up to the Goliath before him as the multi-screen being spoke. "Behold! The new Technus 2.0! Now with pop up blocker!" He fired a stasis beam at Danny as he remarked, secretly wanting to just get on with his day of fun.
"It sounds like the same old Technus to me." Danny spread his arms as he spoke with being lifted up. "How about you shout your plans and let's get this thing over with?"
"Technus 2.0 does not reveal his secrets! Go on, try me." A behemoth of Technus's current should be that smug as Danny gave a honest question.
"Uh, boxers or briefs?"
"NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! See?" Technus answered with snatching Danny and hurling him, he crashing into a trash bin outside before Technus took off with his new form as Danny emerged with a scowl as Technus got away and was going to completely ruin the fun weekend.
Danny huffed as he removed the last of the trash on him. "I promised you guys a fun, ghost-free week and now, we have to spend it tracking down Technus. I just wish that I could do both..." For some reason, Danny didn't think to call Cedric about the runaway ghost and instead take on the task himself and, since his duplication ability was out of order, there was one other method to do it as he clued in on it. "...And maybe there is." He turned ghost and went through the floor to the unease of Tucker and Sam before he returned, the Ghost Catcher in hand as he announced. "The Fenton Ghost Catcher! Expunges all things ghostly!" Sam spoke up as she pleaded with him.
"Danny, wait. You don't have to do this. We don't mind spending the weekend fighting ghosts with you." But Danny was not swayed as he answered back.
"I do. My personal life and ghosting hunting life are always interfering with each other."
"You have a personal life?"
"Well, I will now." With that, Danny readied and dove through, two Dannys coming out of it as Phantom floated while Fenton, with a mullet, dropped to the ground before Phantom glanced at his hands before speaking.
"At last..." Wasting no time, he snatched the bed sheet and tied it on before he posed in exclaiming. "I am Danny Phantom, full-time super hero!" Fenton got up as he mused in a chill fashion.
"Yeah, whatever! And we've gonna party as Danny Fenton, full-time fun kid."
"This has bad idea written all over it." Sam grimaced before Tucker leapt in taking Fun Danny's arm.
"I call the Fun Danny!" He dragged him out as Phantom commented to Sam's appearance.
"Say, you wear an awful lot of black for a super hero sidekick, have you considered switching to bright primary colors?" That was Sam's moment to bail as she chased after Tucker.
"Tucker, wait up!" She headed out and shut the door, none of them remembering to call Cedric of the latest twist as there were now two Dannys about, one that is pure human and just lacking any responsibilities while the other is a bed-sheet wearing hero...
The friends met at the movieplex as Fun Danny chilled. "This is more like it, dudes! No responsibilities, no ghost fights, and no lame super heroics." He answered with 'pouring' his drink over as Sam scolded at him.
"And no manners!"
"Seriously, aren't you going to clean that up?" Tucker questioned as one of the employees came by and slipped on the mess as Danny didn't agree, just chilled like a rebel.
"Looks like that guy's butt already has it covered." He then belched as Sam and Tucker scolded him.
"Danny!"
"Lighten up, guys. It's a free country, besides what kind of guy with a wet butt do to us?"
"Not much, unless he's the manager." Tucker uneasily said with Sam and him smiling nervously to the now-glaring man, but Danny didn't make it better.
"Whoa, bummer!" That same manager grabbed them and tossed them out the back as he exclaimed.
"And stay out!" The door slammed, locking them out before Danny just moved to get back in.
"No problem, I'll just phase us back in." Danny spoke and, before any of them spoke otherwise, Danny grabbed their wrists and rushed for the door, only to crash into it and he exclaimed in confusion. "WOAH! I can't go ghost!" Sam spoke as she got up in the confusion, a bad feeling settling in her stomach.
"That's not right. We should go back to the lair and check this out."
"Or we could go bowling. Who's up for bowling?" Tucker was just on the side of fun as he exclaimed with raised hand.
"I am! I call the Fun Danny!" He then bolted off with Danny in tow as Sam groaned, neither of them still cluing in to tell Cedric or even call him in the first place. Meanwhile, on the other side of town, Phantom flew high across the nightly sky as he mused with valor.
"Now this is more like it! No distractions, no cumbersome secret identities, and more time to dispense my unique of ghostly justice." To the sound of screams, Phantom turned to see Technus absorbing electricity over a bus of people before he exclaimed. "Leaping Lightning Rods! This looks like a job for Danny Phantom!"
Of course, his charge was met by a ghost shield, supplies by the GAV compartment of the behemoth before Phantom scowled in disbelief. "You frivolous fiend! Your ghost shield prevents me from painfully pummeling you into a pulp!" Somehow, just somehow, Phantom didn't clue in on the adverse changes of the choice of dividing himself in two currently, much like a moronic nitwit doing bowling. "Too bad for you, Danny Phantom is only half-ghost!" The rings formed and went, but nothing changed as he glanced to a still-white glove as he voiced. "Hey, I can't turn human!" He was blasted as Technus scoffed.
"Neither can I, but you don't hear me shouting it to the heavens! I don't do that anymore!" Honestly, it was just a total mess as Phantom tried to stop Technus, but he couldn't get get near the machine behemoth while Fenton just enjoyed his game-filled life free from the responsibility of... anything really, night turning to day and somehow, Phantom's face was seen on TV as Jack jumped to his feet in exclaiming.
"Great gobs of ghost goop! Danny will want to see this." He moved to tell Danny, but Jazz cut him off as she exclaimed.
"He's not here!" That was a suspicious answer form Jazz as she explained. "I mean, Danny's probably still asleep." She WAS right as Danny slipped in with a cool guy look as she spoke with a rock-out hand gesture.
"S'up?" Both Jack and Jazz exclaimed to the Danny before Jack took his son and showed him the set.
"Get a load of this." But Danny just brushed it off as he answered.
"Ghost? Who cares?" He slipped out of the giant's hands as he finished with his plan. "Gonna meet Sam and Tucker at the pier, he headed out with a smile as Jazz exclaimed in utter confusion.
"But you... but he... but I..." She groaned aloud as she continued in exasperation. "That can't be Danny!"
"I'll say! No son of mine says who cares about ghosts!" Jack headed out to get Danny to be interested again to Jazz's utter shock before she stopped and pulled out her phone before dialing up a number, begging that he has answers, two rings and the call was answered before a catchy theme could play.
"What is it, if it is for cookies, biscuits, or donuts, I am..."
"Cedric, listen, I need some help here." The friend paused to Jazz's words as she spoke. "I don't know if I am losing my mind, or something crazy, but there are TWO Dannys running around."
"Excuse me, two?" Cedric questioned as he continued. "That's not possible, Danny's duplication power is on the fuzz, there is no way that he can duplicate at all right now."
"Yeah, but there is Phantom on the set and Fenton walking out the door with no regard for Phantom, like way too chilled." The other line was silent before she had a 'Oh, he is going to die' before Cedric spoke up again.
"Jazz, just focus on Danny, the Fenton one right now, I have a feeling of what the idiot just did." The line cut and Jazz moaned, she just wanted one day where things would actually go right for a bit...
Down by the pier, where rides and fun was to be had, Fenton mused in glee. "Man, this is the life! I wish I could just stay on this ride forever!" The roller coaster going up halted with the other rides as Sam answered in reply to Danny's desire.
"You may just get your wish." Across from them, down on the edge was Technus draining more power while Phantom tried in vain to pull the behemoth away, only to get grabbed and hurled across the pier as Tucker exclaimed in disbelief.
"Why couldn't you wish for supermodels instead?"
"Did someone say super?!" Phantom returned with a smile as Sam just groaned.
"Oh, somebody kill me." Phantom soared over again as Technus exclaimed.
"Tremble before the power of Technus 2.0!"
"Wait a minute!" Phantom exclaimed as he recounted the things that Technus has been interacting with lately in his behemoth form. "Electric street car, power-lines, generators... You've been recharging yourself all night! Technus 2.0 is just a wattage-wasting wastrel!" Technus blasted him away before he resumed with posing. "Relax, citizens! Danny Phantom is on the job!" He flashed a winning smile before Sam inquired to the relaxing Danny.
"Danny, shouldn't you do something?"
"What? He said relax." That didn't help anyone when the Spectre Speeder arrived with Jack Fenton at the helm.
"Hop aboard, son, your old man's gonna show you how to catch a ghost!" With that, he snatched Danny out of the seat and then launched the party down the coaster, getting to lower ground, but it really was dangerous nonetheless as the SPeeder pulled right in front of Phantom as Danny spoke up to the weapons moving to lock on.
"Dude, uh, Dad, I don't know about this." But Jack was not convinced as he mused with the lock-on.
"Okay, now you gonna wanna nail them right between the eyes." It finalized as Jack exclaimed. "Now, waste them!" This was becoming a mess and they really should have thought this one through more clearly...
Jack took Danny's hand and mused. "Take the shot, son, make your old man proud." Fenton held the controls to fire before he shoved hard, tilting the Speeder, but also tossing Fenton out the open door hatch to Phantom bolting down in saving him as Phantom scolded the reckless fool.
"Dueling Doppelgangers! Have you lost your half of our mind!" The two landed as Fenton exclaimed back.
"Dude, I'm not the one wearing a bed sheet." Suddenly, a blast separated the two as Jack came in with the Speeder as he exclaimed.
"I'll save you, Danny!" He paused as he thought about it, he still not sure why Danny was... right now two people, but he could file under 'look into later'. "Wait, they're both named Danny. Now, that's going to be confusing." He exclaimed all the same. "I'll save ya, son!" Now, if only he focused on the rolled behemoth behind him as Technus blasted the Speeder and the pair rushed over to the downed ride and the still-conscious man before Technus mused to Fenton AND Phantom at the same place.
"Back-up copies of yourself. Why didn't I think of that?" With that, Technus headed off with both halves taking after him while the roller coaster came to a stop and Sam glared at Tucker for wanting to go again as Phantom monologued.
"That rampaging robotic rogue is heading straight for the power plant! We have to stop him before he consumes this city's energy supply!"
"What do you mean we? That's your job. Uh, besides, I can't go ghost."
"No, but you can get past the ghost shield, human!" Phantom picked up speed as Technus tried to keep going to Phantom's delay tactics while Fenton, having gotten in from the rear window, started to use up the power that Technus had as he exclaimed with losing all that energy.
"I'm powering down! But how?!"
"Bingo!" Phantom answered with blasting one of the tires and sending the hunk of tech crashing into the edge of the pier with rescuing Fenton as well, Technus uttering a last 'no' before the mech powered down and the two pushed the machine into the waters below before Fenton spoke up.
"Uh, okay. When dad asks me who trashed the van, I am so not covering for you!" Fenton made to walk away, but Phantom floated in front of him as he spoke in scolding the reckless behavior.
"And that is the sort of irresponsible attitude that make you such a disappointment in our family." There was no middle ground between the two as Fenton answered back to the figure.
"Uh, hello! Not our family, my family. You're the full-time hero, remember?"
"Then, perhaps, it's time we fuse back together!" Phantom took to phasing into Fenton and turning his eye color green as Jack, Sam, and Tucker arrived and Jack exclaimed.
"Danny! Are you alright, son?" Fortune had other plans as Phantom exclaimed in Fenton's body.
"I've never felt better in my life." That got some strange looks as it seemed that the danger was over for the most part...
"Curse this infernal messy room!" Phantom exclaimed as he continued. "This looks like a job for the vacuum cleaner!" He blazed through the room with power and reflex before Sam spoke up to the slight difference, Cedric there also with Talia as Topaz wanted to sleep in for a bit.
"Danny, something's up, you are definitely not yourself since you fused back together!"
"Of course, I'm myself." Phantom exclaimed with turning off the vacuum before going into a monologue. "I'm more than myself! I'm..." He started to convulse as he reached inside himself with exclaiming.
"Get out of me!" From Fenton's body came Phantom with a toss as he exclaimed in landing on his feet.
"No! We must become one again!"
"We didn't become one, dude! You overshadowed me!" Fenton exclaimed with checking himself over in the mirror before Cedric spoke up, getting the readings from both now to Talia's own awe that such a thing happened.
"And yet, it didn't stick, the first time was a swift connection back together, love you by the way, Talia Rahmat." Cedric spoke in kissing Talia's temple and causing a puff of blush and her face covering to the affection as Cedric continued. "This time, both of you are filling in the gaps slowly, the Ghost Catcher must have had a delayed reaction of separating your personalities, you didn't divide yourself in the first place, you separate yourself in half, one being human and the other being ghost." Tucker spoke up as Sam and him stalked over to grab the Fenton device.
"But, in theory, another trip through the Ghost Catcher should straighten out this mess..." The pair picked up the Catcher and swept it over both of the Dannys and stood back to the worst turnabout. "...Or it could make it ten times worse." It got the right form form both of them, but that was the problem, there were now Two Danny Fentons in the room as Jazz entered.
"Danny, Dad wants you to..." She stopped and would have screamed to the fact of two Dannys as she never saw Danny do it before, but she turned and asked Cedric. "It didn't turn out so well, did it?"
"We are working on it, Jasmine."
"Danny! What's going on in there?" Both panicked as Tucker exclaimed the same.
"Quick! Hide!" He pushed the pair of them into the closet as Sam exclaimed.
"No, just one of you!"
"I call the Fun Danny!"
"I call the... Darn it!" Sam exclaimed to Tucker taking the blue-eyed Danny to Jazz's, Cedric's, and Talia's own raised brows before Jack spoke up again.
"Hey..." Sam was quick in slamming the closet shut with Tucker inside, leaving him and Fun Danny in front of the door as Jack walked in to the Ghost Catcher standing in the room. "What's the Ghost Catcher doing in your room?" Jack brokered no argument as he stepped to the side as Danny picked it up to his command. "You march that back down to the lab right now, son!" Fenton did so just as Jack headed to his room with Maddie coming out and Phantom coming out of the closet to her relief as she spoke, Jazz still in the room.
"I don't know what's come over Jazz. Danny, Please be a dear and show her you're alright?"
"I'm more than alright! I'm Danny Fenton!" That earned him a strange look before she spoke to the teen on the bed.
"There are two Dannys running around, aren't there?"
"The Ghost Catcher divided them in half, we are still working it out." She nodded as she left, taking the moment to get the Fenton half back up.
"Oh, I see you're taking the Catcher back downstairs, but don't think that you don't need the help, can you friends help him out?" They nodded as they made their way downstairs, the door bell ringing as both parents headed to the door, and to an officer who spoke.
"Is this your vehicle, ma'am?" Somehow, they managed to get the powered-down form of Technus's GAV monster back from the waters and Maddie frowned at Jack as he nervously asked.
"Hey, it's... back from the shop." Meanwhile, the party met down in the lab as Fenton spoke to the Phantom.
"Okay. From now on, you hide and we will be Danny."
"I think not! You were Danny all day and did a very poor job of it!"
"Is it so wrong of me to think this whole thing was stupid?"
"Nope, Talia, I don't think it was stupid, it was moronic for Danny to do this." Cedric answered with folding his arms before Maddie and Jack came down the stairs.
"Good news, kids, we've recovered the RV's Black Box Data Recorder." Sam and Tucker jumped in front of Fun Danny to hide him as Jack finished the trail of thought.
"This baby will show us exactly how that ghost took control, just as soon as I download all its memory into the Fenton mainframe." Both jumped out in exclaiming to the man about to plug in a lingering ghost into the system.
"DUDE/DAD! NO!" But too little, too late as Jack plugged the black box in and Technus surged out across the house, surging through all of its technology before the robotic form floated to the top and was attached to the house with cords as Technus surged back into it as he exclaimed.
"AT LAST! My upgrade is complete! With the technology in this house, I can drain all the power from this city and then the world!" He paused before asking himself. "Nobody heard that, right?" It was certain that it was heard, but for now, the party in the lab were attacked by the devices around them, Cedric and Talia dodging under as the family and friends were wrapped in cords before both Dannys shouted.
"Going ghost!" Both changed before yelping in surprise. "Whoa, I can still do that?"
"Less talking, more action, you two!" Cedric exclaimed as the armor donned and Talia fought with him in repelling the active lab as Phantom exclaimed.
"I'll save everyone! You deal with the house-high-jacking horror!" Fenton took flight, only to hit the ceiling, it appeared that, while both were about to switch and all of that, their powers were divided as well, as Fenton mumbled with his flying.
"Would it be too much to ask for ALL of my powers back?" So he took to the stairway out as Phantom joined the battle in the lab, ready to fire an ecto-ray.
"Eat ghost ray, you evil electronic extensions." But it fizzed out as Phantom exclaimed. "Fizzling Phantoms! Are my powers diminished as well?" He leapt over the robot that came at him, it getting wasted by a intense flare form Talia, as he rested his hands on the trapped members and got them out with intangibility as he answered. "At least that one still works!" Outside, Technus made to absorb more power before one of the cables was blasted out of the machine's hands as Fenton ranted.
"That's for totally ruining my weekend-o'-fun, dude!"
"Oh, I'll ruin more than that, whelp." He mustered the tech to attack Fenton and launch him off as the party rushed out to him crashing before Maddie exclaimed.
"Wait! Where's Danny?" Fenton crash and drew their attention before Phantom reverted ot human in panic and shouted.
"I'm right here, Mother!"
"Wait a minute, weren't you just...?" Jack's question didn't last as Jazz, somehow making it into her room after the gang headed into the lab, went to her room and now was trapped in there as she exclaimed.
"Mom! Dad! Danny! Other Danny!"
"Jazz!" Jack and Maddie rushed back in as Technus finished draining more power from the block.
"That was tasty! Now let's see what I can do with all power." He blasted the ground and causing large mechanical tendrils to erupt from the street before attaching them to the Fenton household and lifting the upper section of it into the air and walking away with four legs stomping across the ground as Phantom exclaimed with changing back to his ghost form.
"We have to stop Technus before he takes over the whole city!" Fenton was casual about just laying back and watching it happen.
"Good luck, dude!"
"I only have half our powers! We must do it... together. It's... our duty!" Fenton joked about it as Phantom pushed for it as he grabbed Fenton. "We have to stop him!"
"Tried it. Didn't work. Back to bowling." Tucker and Sam stepped in as Cedric and Talia just rubbed their temples to this personality stupidity.
"It'll be fun?"
"I'll get to hit stuff?" Somehow, that swayed Fenton over as he spoke up again.
"Sweet!"
"You go inside and get the Ghost Catcher!" Phantom exclaimed to the two as he prepped for flight. "I'll keep Technus busy!" He tried, but failed to fly as Fenton answered.
"How about we all go inside?" Technus rampaged through the town, draining more and more power from the city as the six flew to the possessed housing and phased through with Phantom as Technus exclaimed.
"No one can stop me now!" Phantom phased through as he exclaimed.
"No one maybe..."
"...But how about two?" Fenton jumped out of the hatch as Technus tried to blast them, but Fenton had it covered as the dishes were destroyed before Technus spoke.
"Two or two thousand, you still can't get past my ghost shield!" He blasted the shield and it activated before Fenton pointed it out.
"Um, dude, it only works if we're outside the ghost shield." And it only stopped them if they openly tried to change and make them a focus for the anti-ghost barrier as Technus exclaimed once more.
"No matter! My upgrade is extremely adaptable!" Technus surged with a few more tendrils to take out the pair, Fenton dodging in flight and tried to get closer to blast, but was captured, Phantom tried AGAIN to fly, in vain, as Technus blasted him with a ray as one of the screens on Technus shifted over to the captured Phantom and monologue. "If you wish to split your focus, you must learn to multi-task."
Multi-task this!" Tucker shouted as Sam and Tucker charged with the Ghost Catcher in hand as Technus exclaimed in surprise.
"What!? Nooo!" But the screen was too slow in retreating form the Catcher as it swiped and pulled Technus out, shutting down the whole set up and retracting everything back, the Dannys freed before the four looked upon the reforming Technus, now more like an evil mastermind of a ghost than a mad scientist as he turned, hair down into a mullet, black lab suit, and sliver cloak draping over his shoulders and back as he spoke once more. "Then it's time that my ghostly form had an upgrade as well! You cannot stop me!"
Technus made to fly away as both Dannys shouted. "Oh yes, we can!" They jumped in grabbing the ghostly tail in finishing. "Together!" They pulled him back and slammed hard into the Ghost Catcher, releasing Technus for a moment as both merged back together as Danny, now normal, exclaimed. "We did it! No, I did it!" He got back up as he exclaimed with facing with Technus once more. "Alright, Technus, it's just you and me now! Me, the one and only Danny Phantom!"
"Technus 2.0 will escape to fight another..." Technus mused with trying again, only for Danny to grip the ghost tail as he mused back.
"Shouting out your plans again? That is so 1.0." Tucker tossed the Thermos he had and Danny caught it, uncapping it before plunging it to pull in Technus as he exclaimed in vengeance.
"I'll be back, child! Count on it!" Danny capped it as Sam mused in glee.
"Way to pull yourself together, Danny!"
"But how'd that last pass through the Ghost Catcher do that anyway?" Tucker mused before Talia huffed and pointed to the words on the bottom of the ring.
"Side Two: Merge, Side One: Separate."
"Duh..." Tucker gloomily answered as Danny apologized.
"Too bad I can't pull together that fun weekend I promised you guys." Danny answered with reverting back to human with Talia as Tucker beamed with Sam, Cedric rolled his eyes.
"You kidding? This was a fun weekend."
"Really?" The trio headed over to the railing as Sam beamed as well, Cedric and Talia joining them with Talia lounging on Cedric.
"We're your friends, Danny, kicking back or kicking butt." The rest of the Fenton clan came out as Jazz counted only one Danny and beamed.
"One Danny, they did it, they really did it!" She cheered as she just added to it. "I'm not nuts!" She rushed over as Maddie mused.
"Oh, isn't that sweet? That's exactly what you said when you proposed to me."
"And you still said yes. Who's nuts now, huh?" The parents walked over as Jack continued in joy. "Good to see you're in one piece, son." The five mused just the same.
"Tell me about it."
"Now to work on putting the house back."
"Um, Dad, maybe that can wait until after the summer?" The house somehow ended on on the beach line as the party looked over all of it; the sand, the ocean, and the morning sun raising up to greet them all...
With that, they spend the day on the beach, people gave the house a brief glance, even Valerie when she arrived to see the beach for a bit, but nothing could really ruin the day...
...Well, besides Cedric giving Danny a hard time for trying to single-handily handle a ghost and split himself in half, but Danny was glad to be back in full. Still, there was something about battling both Valerie and Cedric in Volleyball that was just so nice, with Sam by his side...
