It should have been a surprise that soon after the whole Prince Aragon fiasco that it was a campaign run for student council president, but it really wasn't for anyone involved as the members running for the office were Dash and... Tucker as the geek tried to get people to vote for him. "If elected, I promise to…" But no one stopped to agree or remark as Tucker continued his campaigning. "Can I scan your vote? Digitize your yes for Tucker?" He PDA printed and it ripped it out to toss to a student, who then crumbled it and walked away as Tucker sighed. "How can I run a campaign for student council president when nobody's listening to me?"

"What was that? Did you say something?" Even though Cedric, Talia, and Topaz were part of handing out posters and the like, they weren't exactly helping in keeping attention on Tucker as much as Danny as Tucker groaned before Sam spoke up to Tucker getting some distance.

"You're just going about this the wrong way, Tucker."

"Yeah, your campaign is all about victory through technology and the triumph of machine over man. It's kinda creepy."

"As much as I too want to advance a bit of tech around here, we are not exactly looking for Webnet here."

"I love that movie, actually, the recent ones were getting weird though." Topaz answered as Talia shook her head.

"Machine is not meant to replace man, though, it is to lighten his burden.

"So we changed your lame official campaign platform." Tucker took the paper offered to him as he read out a few.

"Grafitti art classes?" No brain who was behind that as the members glanced to Sam who, to her credit, looked embarrassed by their glances. "Rage against the PTA meetings?" She looked flustered as they glared at her before the final one. "Mini skirt Fridays? Okay. That's good."

"Yeah. That was my change to it, I love my girls, but I had to think of something you would do." Sam and Topaz gave a fifty-fifty gesture as Tucker recovered to exclaim.

"But it's not what I told you to write. I wanna have my voice heard, not yours."

"Okay. Okay. Your voice coming up."

"Thank you." Tucker went back to trying to promote his platform. "Hi, I'm Tucker." But the girl just walked past before he exclaimed. "And what's it take to get listened to around here?!" Sadly, that is due to the other platform as Dash called out to everyone.

"Hey, everybody. Gather round or the football team will pound ya. The theme of my campaign is who cares what Foley has to say." That didn't get a reaction before he pounded his fist into his palm again and the crowd went wild before Tucker gasped to a tongue licking him and he rushing over to the band as he exclaimed.

"Danny, listen...!"

"Not now. I'm busy writing in your voice. Would Tucker say it like that?"

"But-"

"A little more nerd and a little less suave." As fortune had it, the ghost sense went off and all turned to find a one-eyes iguana rampage across the campus before Danny made to change.

"I'm going gho-" He didn't get the chance before the bipedal ghost smashed the tree and launched Danny away as the five headed over to Danny to take cover as the lizard stomped before Sam mused to the creature attack.

"Wow. I never saw that coming."

"I did." Tucker grumbled as Danny countered, having not gotten his legs trapped under the trunk.

"Well, geez, Tuck, why didn't you say something?" It would have been apparent, but he didn't say a thing in fear and now he was holding resentment toward his friends for not getting his back, that also allowed something else to come into play...


The issue with the lizard was handled rather well, but the trip to the museum where a new Egyptian showcase was being made was not really as Lancer lectured about it. "The treasures of the Pharaoh Duul Aman, which you see before you, date back over four thousand years." Tucker tried to make it out as a joke.

"Duul Aman? As in man, is this dull?" No one laughed at that as Tucker slumped with musing to himself. "This action is being quite harsh." Dash then tried.

"Hey. Is that Duul Aman? As in man, is this dull?" No one laughed before Dash pulled out the jock vote and they laughed as Danny mused to the band.

"The way I see it, Tucker has to take the jock vote away from Dash."

"Right. While not alienating his social misfit slash geek base."

"Here's an idea. How about you let me make my own decisions and listen to me when I talk to you?" But they didn't hear him past looking at him and walking passed him as Tucker continued as he tried to get their attention. "Oh, come on. At least look at me."

"We are." He gasped and walked over to Lancer gesturing to an image on the wall.

"Behold. King Duul Aman." It was... his face, in pharaoh attire, but still somehow sporting specs as Tucker mused in amaze.

"Now that is one snappy looking dude."

"Wow, Tucker. You look like a king."

"The likeness is so real, I could barely split the two apart." Topaz answered with wide eyes as Talia nodded with Cedric before Lancer continued in gesturing to a scepter in a glass case.

"The King's scarab scepter. The secrets of its dark magic are lost to the ages." It was an impressive piece of rulership as Lancer then stopped at a large sarcophagus. "The mummified remains of the pharaoh's minion Hotep Ra. Ancient legend holds that he will hold when the pharaoh's image reflects anew in his sacred mirror." Tucker was still amazed as Kwan walked over to him.

"Hey. Why don't you look in the mirror, Foley. Either you'll get a minion, or another zit on your forehead." The party glared at him as he spoke. "What, it was a suggestion."

"If that thing opens up, we are putting you under house arrest, Kwan." Cedric answered as Kwan nodded, but they were ignored as Tucker looked at it and looked for a zit.

"What zit? I don't see a-" Suddenly, the thing shook and rumbled before erupting in a burst of energy as the other students had headed off prior before the seven of them were launched as Tucker exclaimed. "A mummy ghost?" From the opening of the case, came a mummified figure of Egyptian origins before both Talia and Cedric smacked Kwan across his skull as both spoke.

"Under house arrest...!"

"Can we make it two days, please?" Kwan pleaded with holding up a pair of fingers to the members' glare before both nodded and he breathed easy as the minion known as Hotep Ra spoke.

"I am risen!"

"And you're going down." Danny answered back as the four changed form, to three Demis in ghost form and the Iron Exorcist before charging as the mummy hurled his sarcophagus at them, Danny quickly putting up a barrier that broke the case and trapped Sam under one piece before the heroic Danny flew over as he exclaimed. "Sam?"

"Danny?" Hotep wasn't going to let them get her out as he exclaimed.

"Time for this mummy to cry uncle." But he was not ready for the sandstorm and getting hurled out of it as Talia wrested with the sand before getting tossed as well, Ember couldn't even glass the ghost without getting tossed as well, Danny catching her as she spoke.

"I heard of the sandstorm before..." She coughed up some sand before continuing. "...But I thought it was just a upbeat music video." They didn't get the chance to attack again before Hotep caught them, pinning them together and raised a foot to crush them before Tucker shouted.

"Leave them alone."

"Who dares order Hotep Ra to-" The mummy stopped with a gasp as Tucker jumped out from behind the stone tablet before he retracted his arms and walked over to the geek as he took a knee and to bow as he spoke. "Your humble servant hears and obeys, oh great one. Your dynasty begins anew, my pharaoh!"

"I'm a pharaoh? I have a minion?" Tucker beamed as he made to make his first command. "Who will hear and obey?" Danny, on the other hand, didn't let it happened as he blasted Hotep through a wall and Tucker exclaimed. "Dude, you toasted my minion." Danny answered back as he reverted.

"Trust me. It's for your own good." They made to walk over before Sam spoke up.

"Guys. I like a good coffin as much as the next goth, but the novelty is wearing thin." They stopped and nodded as they helped get Sam out of there as Cedric spoke to Tucker.

"Tucker, you shouldn't be happy about having a minion, what if Hotep was hiding under false pretenses, we don't want you to suffer a betrayal like that, it is just like what happened with Talia's powers being granted to you."

"I... I mean, yeah, but..."

"With this campaign, you want people to listen?" Tucker nodded sadly as Cedric rested a hand on his shoulder as the seven of them headed out, Kwan staying to see what went down and was both in trouble for making another ghost appear and amazed that Tucker Foley now had some ancient ghost as a minion now, that was prime...


They headed down the sidewalk, a difference being that Tucker was lacking his book bag before he gasped to what was posted nearby, him holding a poor report chart as he grumbled. "You can't spell Foley without F? Who came up with that?"

"Danny and me." Sam beamed, her powers not yet tested to be helpful in combat or otherwise, in case of what happened at Aragon's realm would cause an echo as Danny joined.

"Yeah." He chuckled as he continued. "It's your new election campaign. You like it?"

"No! It's not the slogan I told you I wanted."

"But it appeals to the idiot fringe. Do you want the jock vote or not?" Sam asked before Tucker yelled at them, Talia and Cedric standing on Tucker's side while Topaz was with the other two as a trio.

"What I want is for you to listen to me. Can you do that?"

"Take it easy, Tuck. We're just trying to help."

"Great. Why don't you start by taking down those stupid posters."

"Okay. Okay. Relax." Danny glanced to Cedric and he nodded as the trio headed off to remove the posters, Talia's sense going off as Hotep arrived from the ground before conjuring a book bag and approaching Tucker as he huffed.

"You're late."

"And I am sorry. But I told you they wouldn't listen to you, my liege."

"Looks like you were right. They don't seem to get the listening concept." He glanced to the two beside him as he continued. "Except for you two, you listen to me, right?"

"We try to look out for you and we don't mean to intrude on your newfound position."

"We are both friend and guide, you just need to take a moment to understand it at times." Tucker nodded as he turned to Hotep.

"You got grapes in there?" Hotep reached in with pulling out a bunch of grapes before offering them to Tucker, who was being bitter to the duo that are his friends, consumed a decent amount as Hotep mused in answering.

"I assure you, you will have no such problem with me. My loyalty knows no bounds."

"Duly noted." He glanced to the pair and they nodded as he turned back to Hotep. "Care to give me a lift to school, being around here is getting on my nerves right now." With that, Hotep picked him up and flew as Danny huffed as the last of the posters were taken down there.

"There. They're down. Happy now, your highness?" The trio stopped to only find Talia and Cedric as Danny mused. "Tucker?" He stopped and glared at the pair as he asked. "Got his new minion to give him a lift?"

"You're kind of the one who didn't put Hotep Ra in the Thermos, so yes, Foley had his new minion a lift." The trio raised their arms in disbelief before Topaz huffed.

"What's next, he is going to rule the school in bandages?"

"Chance for that is slim, but we did warn Tucker to be at least wary of Ra, as long as you guys also give him your ear." They glanced to the other as Tucker and Ra arrived.

"Better let me down here Ra. We don't want anyone to see you." Ra landed and offered up the pack as Tucker beamed. "See? I ask for something and it happens. Is that so hard?"

"Not for me, my liege. But why hide me? What have you to fear? You are royalty." Tucker hummed at that fact, it was true that his face allowed him to control Ra a bit, but was Tucker really royalty as he inquired.

"I am?"

"Yes. And with my help. All of this shall be your domain. This poorly funded educational center. Hazah!" Tucker hummed as that sounded quite promising, but his notions of tricks from Ra slipped away as he spotted his posters being covered up by Dash's as he growled.

"I'm not going to get to be master of this domain with those jerks covering my posters."

"Shall I smite them for you?"

"Maybe not smite." If Hotep was able to control a great deal of things, then there was one thing that would be a real threat as the pair yelped to a swarm of locusts charging them before reforming back into Hotep as Tucker mused. "Locusts. Now that's old school. You're pretty mean with a plague." He paused to dust himself off as Ra was quite unclean, maybe it was just the time spent in the case. "You know, a guy could get used to having a minion." Tucker made to walk off as Ra started to speak to himself.

"Do not get too used to it, my king." He opened up his bandages to pull out the Scarab Scepter as he voiced. "For very soon, you and everyone else will be my minions." What he didn't expect was Tucker as he swiftly dashed over, taking the Scepter with a snatch.

"I KNEW IT!" Ra raised his hands in surprise and plead as Tucker unloaded, tapping into something left behind and empowered by the Scepter. "You were planning to betray me all along, I should have known!"

"M-My king, please!" Tucker lashed out and turned Hotep into a pin and picked him up with anger, the ghost at his mercy before he hummed with grief.

"You know, I could have understood all of it, if only you spoke to me..." Hotep stopped as Tucker continued, sitting against a tree and humming. "I get that I have the face of Duul Aman, I get that I could be commanding the whole school by now if I wanted to, but I have been hanging around Cedric lately and I have... been having doubts about myself, most of my friends have powerful abilities while I'm... just me, just Tucker Foley, a geek in the end and no one of great meaning." Ra paused to Tucker's spiel as he continued. "He didn't treat you right, did he, he treated you like you were low and you rose up to oust him, didn't you...?"

"A mortal trying to understand the dead's desire, how foolish you are, child." But Ra felt... shame, he was ashamed that here was the face of Duul Aman, but not his actions as he turned back around in the pin. "Duul is many things, but he was a selfish child, he wanted the world at his tips and I wanted to do things my way."

"Differing opinions, I get it..." Tucker stood back up and waved the scepter, reverting Ra back to normal as he returned the scepter. "Keep this safe until I actually need it, I have to get going and see what I can change before I NEED to resort to using the scepter." With that, Tucker walked off, the ghost completely confused as he slipped the scepter back in and rubbed his head.

"Duul would never just give the Scepter back, he would cling to it like an infant to sweets." He hummed before he snapped with a bit more understanding of Foley. "I am starting to like this one, maybe ruling the lands isn't in the fates' plans here..." With that, Ra shadowed Tucker's moves before they conversed again in the halls as Tucker, surprised, recovered to speak to him.

"What's up, Ra?"

"Your rise to sovereignty. I bear a gift to help you achieve it."

"The Scarab Scepter? But do you really think I am worthy to hold that which belongs to King Duul Aman?"

"To whom I humbly present it. Use it in good health, my Pharaoh." Tucker took it and felt different as he lightly got the notion that he was in a haze, his mind clashing with another, a spoiled child that lost again as Sam spoke up.

"Tucker. There you are." He frowned as he closed the locker to the trio walking over with Talia and Cedric arriving as well, noticing the slight change near the eyes as Danny spoke.

"We got your talking points for the debate."

"Keep them. I no longer require your meddling advice." Tucker answered in smacking the cards away as Sam just realized what he was now holding.

"Hey, that's the scepter from the museum. How'd you get it?"

"Why should I explain to you how I acquired what is rightfully mine?" Tucker growled as Danny questioned.

"Yours? Tucker, I-I don't like this. You have to listen to me."

"As you listened to me? Or you?"

"Is he letting the scepter control his voice?" Talia asked as Cedric answered back.

"I think that whatever is INSIDE the scepter is actively motivating him, Ra was the servant, but what if, whatever dark magics the Scepter possesses, also allowed a hint of Duul Aman to flow through, I don't think Ra would even notice as the energy needs a mortal body to do it and one off-guard." She nodded as Danny tried in vain.

"Tucker."

"Did you hear me? The scepter is mine. Now stand aside or face my wrath." He pushed past them as he head for the auditorium as Topaz questioned.

"Am I the only one who was getting vibes of mind-control in play here?"

"It is possible, Topaz." Cedric answered back as they looked back to the room before heading over. The room was not quiet for the debate which was not good as the five took their seats as Sam inquired with Cedric.

"So how badly is this going to end?"

"First up with opening statements is Tucker Foley."

"Poorly." Cedric answered as if Tucker was first and no one wanted to listen he could draw upon the Scepter's power to take control, as Tucker took the mic.

"Thank you, mortal fool." That didn't sound right as Tucker spoke to Lancer waking away, suspecting that something had happened yesterday that was a concern. "At the museum the other day we saw a glimpse of the past. But now I wish to talk about the future." Suddenly, he started to hear sounds all around, drowning out his voice as he exclaimed. "Hey I'm talking here. Listen." But not a one was listening as Ra beamed from being invisible behind Tucker.

"Yes. Let the scepter take you."

"I. Said. Silence!" Tucker shouted with smashing the mic stand with unbelievable force, stopping the chatter short as Cedric counted on his fingers before Ra appeared and everyone gasped as Lancer exclaimed.

"Antony and Cleopatra!"

"I'm tired of not being listened to. Of not being respected."

"Um, I think that's your cue." Sam exclaimed to Danny while the two supporters reached under their clothing and adjusted something as Danny ducked down and turned into Phantom before bolting for the scepter as he demanded.

"Give me that scepter now."

"No. It's mine. Let go."

"Tucker."

"You're still not listening to me." With a surge, the whole place changed to a arena as Danny groaned before he found that he was the rider in a chariot and tied to it as he exclaimed.

"Tucker? Sam? Cedric? Talia? Topaz?" He glanced forward and grimaced as a gladiator came charging for him, but he would not be alone in that strange place as outside for now, Tucker had just destroyed Phantom as he exclaimed.

"And let that serve as a warning. To all of you." He slammed the ground to a ring of blue flames as Topaz uneasily chuckled before she glanced to the prepared pair.

"So, uh... any other vests?"

"Properly, no; Sorry, Topaz." Talia beamed as she waved. "But don't worry, we will all handle it soon." She grimaced as the whole school was enveloped before turning into a Egyptian landscape, ghostly servants building a sphinx of Tucker's facage as the members came to, all wearing dresses or kilts of linen, even Sam was not spared as she was certainly looking the part before the crowd in the distance bowed in calling out.

"All hail Pharaoh." Sam turned with a gasp as Tucker now looked the part of a pharaoh, she just glad that Valerie wasn't here as well as Tucker exclaimed.

"From now on, this is my world. And my word is law." He raised the scepter and called down lightning from the clouds above, sending fear through them all as he mused. "I guess you'll listen to me now."

"Tucker please, this is wrong. But the clothes are pretty rad."

"Stand down, Samantha!" Sam took offence to that as Topaz, in the same attire, grimaced as Sam shouted.

"Samantha? Nobody calls me that!" Topaz rushed over and had a hard time stopping her before two guards barred their way and Sam yielded. "Except, you." Ra commanded as an extension of Tucker's new power.

"Guards. Put these drones to work on the Sphinx." With that, the whole audience was pulled away as Ra spoke to Tucker. "Once finished, it will herald the dawning of your new dynasty."

"This pleases me."

"Ah. Then you'll love what else we have for you. Even as we speak, two warriors battle for the honor of being presented before you." Danny was having a bit of trouble, in the arena, as his foe swung at him and got a good hit in as he mumbled to himself.

"I'll have to remember this if I ever do a report on the history of road rage." The gladiator came back to tear the wheel apart, slowing Danny down, but he easily broke his bindings with that before he leapt for his foe, both grimacing before they ran into a wall. Back at the Sphinx, the members worked to assemble the beast as Lancer was well out of his zone.

"Myth of Sisyphus." And thus goes him with a block pushing him down as Dash and Kwan worked with lifting bricks, FAR heavier than what they are usually able to work with.

"Doing manual labor for a geek we used to make fun of. This isn't supposed to happen until we're like, 30!"

"Dude, I don't think we'll even make it to thirty. We're doomed!" Sam answered with bearing a bowl of water to swoop and pouring it on the member overheating.

"Trust me, I can tell you from experience we're nowhere near doomed. We just have to bide our time until we can figure a way out of this." She worked as she pondered where the heck was Cedric and Talia while she and Topaz were splashing water while Tucker was getting his feet cleaned by the two popular girls as he commanded.

"Henceforth, all in the realm shall eat nothing but meat. And all citizens must wear red berets, including you hand maidens." Both bolted up as Star stated to what was going on.

"He's clearly under a spell."

"I don't care if he's under some spell. He dies for this." Paulina hissed as she glared at him. "Have you even heard of nail clippers?"

"Any other edicts, my king?" The Anubis creature inquired as Tucker spoke.

"Yes. Mini skirt Fridays. It's a good idea and its time has come." He paused with waving the girls forward before he turned to glare at the Anubis, the scribe grimacing as he spoke. "Ridiculous as they are, scribe, I would like to have some childish edicts done before I start with the greater tasks, I expect a colossus of bronze to stand as a monument of both my reign and in the image of Hotep Ra's image, he is my second and he DESERVES the image, people need to respect him as much as me here." Tucker answered with going as the Anubis spoke to Ra with the rolled up edicts.

"What shall I do about these ridiculous laws?"

"Oh, you heard him, implement them. Let the child have his moment of amuse." Ra answered with looking out to the Sphinx. "Once the Sphinx is completed and I have the scepter once more, this realm shall be mine." Time ticked on as the edicts were made and all did so before the Sphinx was close to being completed as the members arrived to Ra's exclaim. "It's almost finished, my Pharaoh. A true monument to your glory." A chariot arrived with the armor of the gladiator, but something was very... different as Ra continued. "And behold. This masked champion has returned from the field of honor. Having vanquished the ghost boy in battle." It leapt off, but no one STILL spoke to its difference as Same exclaimed.

"What? Ghost boy? Where is he? What did you do to him?" Ra snapped and Sam was hauled away from the gladiator as she exclaimed. "Let me go! Tucker! Tell them to let me go!"

"Woman. You. Will. Be. Silent!"

"No, you di-" But she was bound up as Tucker turned to the gladiator in praise.

"Congratulations warrior, on defeating your ghostly opponent. How did you accomplish that?"

"I just had the advantage of surprise." The voice echoed before Danny Phantom jumped out of the armor and swiped the Scepter out of Tucker's hands, shattering the control that the former pharaoh had on him. "Like I do now."

"Where am I? What have I done? And why is everyone wearing a red beret except you?" Tucker blinked before he palmed himself. "Oh great, Duul was influencing me."

"Long story, and it's not over yet." Chaos reigned as Ra exclaimed.

"He has the scepter. Seize him!"

"By the dunes, you will not harm that man!" A sandstorm tore through, launching the ghostly guards away as it reformed as a Arabian warrioress and from the sky came her companion, clad in Roman armor, his eyes pierced like the ocean depths as more arrived to attack.

"Peace is not the answer in this battle, we stand to thwart you here!" Ra, on the otherwise, fired at Danny and took the Scepter when the heroic teen had taken flight before blasting the Sphinx, bringing it to life to crush Danny and the duo before they blasted at it and found it was immune to the blasts before Danny pulled his trump.

"Oh great. That thing's as hard headed as Tucker was." He unleashed the Wail, but it wasn't able to be brought down before he topple and was launched to one of the pyramids, while the other two fought it to a standstill as Tucker ran for it to get some distance as Ra exclaimed.

"Don't let him get away." The guards gave chase as Ra brought some of the hieroglyphs to live to attack Danny as Tucker exclaimed to the scorpion and bird paying for taking on Danny.

"Danny! Help!" The doberman was a bit harder in it was trying to take the lower half of his jumpsuit, but Danny recovered to blast it as Ra, his guards not succeeding, took matters into his own hands.

"I guess I'll have to take care of the Pharaoh myself." He took off as Tucker exclaimed.

"Somebody help me!" Hotep Ra nearly had Tucker, but Sam, Paulina, and Topaz were quick in snatching a piece of bandage and pulling it, unraveling Hotep Ra to a weathered husk who, for a moment, tried to cover himself up before he dissolved into dust before Tucker made a run for the Scepter before Ra reformed to his exclaim.

"I am risen!" Tucker came to a stop as he inquired.

"Do you say that every time you wake up?"

"Sphinx." The beast turned to Ra as Danny exclaimed.

"Uh oh."

"Finish this." Ra commanded with blasting the forehead and the beast attacked as it launched Danny, the warrioress and soldier bolting to get him back up as Paulina exclaimed, using his common name to keep from revealing the truth.

"Ghost boy. Do something, ghost boy."

"I can't. Too powerful."

"Okay. Now we're doomed." Danny recovered as he thought of something that could work as he worked along with it.

"We do have one shot at this. Tucker, right?" He got up in stepping over to Tucker as he spoke. "You've got to talk to that thing. Command it to stop."

"Me? Are you nuts? The scepter controls it."

"Maybe. Or maybe it's loyal to the king and for now, that's you. It might listen to you." Tucker huffed back as he pointed out.

"Somebody should have." He said with crossed arms as Danny did so.

"I know. And I'm sorry." Tucker looked before he beamed and breathed.

"Well, here goes nothing." He trembled before the great stone construct, it roaring at him before he spoke. "Uh, heel?" He flinched before the red eyes of the Sphinx turned blue and it did as it was asked as it came to a heel as Ra exclaimed.

"What? No! Sphinx, destroy him!" He blasted and the Sphinx growled at Tucker, but he had command as he exclaimed, his voice and will overpowering the Scepter's control.

"Hello? King talking here. Be still, my Sphinx. Lay down." The beast did so as Ra exclaimed in disbelief, somehow the power he commanded was lost on the greatest weapon before them.

"How is this possible? I control the scepter!" Danny bolted over to snatch it away as he voiced back.

"Not anymore, dusty." He came back around to deliver a punch to the face and send him skidding to Tucker as he grimaced in plead.

"Shall I, uh, grape you, my liege? O-or smite thy foes?"

"As tempting as that is, I need to set a example, too bad for you." Tucker spoke as he spoke again, to the Sphinx and giving Hotep Ra a running start. "Sphinxy, sic him." He screamed as the Sphinx gave chase as it tore through the city made, destroying it all as Danny mused in surprise.

"Well, now I know why they call these things ruins."

"Nice work Tucker." Sam beamed as Tucker pulled one last stance.

"Thanks, woman." Sam narrowed her brows as Tucker answered. "Aw, come on. Kidding."

"I gotta admit, it was pretty cool the way you got that Sphinx to listen to you without the scepter."

"Yeah, but I'm much more commanding with the scepter." He said as he took the scepter in hand as Danny called out.

"Tucker, no!" But he called upon the power of the scepter once more as he spoke.

"Which is why I say we all go back to the school debate. And nobody remembers this except me, Danny, Sam, heck all of the members of Team Phantom." He slammed it and the whole thing went back to normal as Danny chuckled.

"Nice one. I'll take this one."

"Mr. Fenton, Ms. Manson. Back to your seats. This is not a group debate."

"Give it to 'em Tuck. I gotta get this scepter back to the museum." Topaz blinked as she looked to her side to find Talia and Cedric giving her the okay symbol and she smiling as Sam and Danny came back for Danny to head out.

"Relax, it won't be long. Friends, classmates, and miscellaneous band geeks who I never associate with. I'm conceding the election to Dash. Somehow, being in charge just doesn't appeal to me much anymore."

"Well, I guess that's it then. Mr. Baxter, you win by default. Huzzah!"

"Yes! As my first law, I would like to propose nerd wailing Fridays, but I would also like to extend a jock study for Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays as well." Tucker huffed as the trio got off stage.

"Couldn't he have said mini skirt instead? How hard is that?"

"Tucker, thanks for bailing us out. The Sphinx was a way better listener than Sam and I have been lately."

"We'll do a better job from now on."

"You know you really could." Tucker answered as he continued. "I get I am not much of a... awesome guy, but I do want to be heard in the very least." The pair listened to him as he brought up his flaws. "I know I try to be the cool guy, I know that I believe myself handsome, but above it all, I know I am a geek, my thoughts about tech have a great deal of merit." Both nodded as the crowd started to disband. "I mean, look at this stuff. It was handmade in Japan." That caught two girls' attention as they exclaimed.

"Did you said handmaiden?" Tucker turned and narrowed his brow as he spoke.

"No, I said the tech was handmade in Japan." He stopped and counted it out before he realized something. "Whoa, I am a horrible person, spell or not."

"Tucker?" Danny asked with scepter in hand as Tucker spoke.

"I have never actually heard of nail clippers before, I have never heard of many beauty products before, and I just had two girls washing my feet which was wrong, spell or not, I am beginning to rethink my WHOLE life choices..." He headed as Star pointed out, sure angry that she was part of the foot cleaning with Paulina, but was more confused with what just happened.

"Is Foley going to be okay...?"

"Honestly, Star, I have NO idea, he is not really easy to listen to at times." Danny answered as he headed out to return the scepter, no need worrying about Hotep Ra again for a while as any pocket dimension they encounter always ended up going to the Ghost Zone or otherwise...
