The trio screamed with Ferdinand screeching the same, because the robotic shapeshifter can feel fear as well, as the Shuttle clamped down on the Jet before Danny righted himself for action. "Going ghost!" He went Phantom before turning the Jet intangible, slipping free before he released and took flight through the jet, blasting at the shuttle, but it barreled right on through the blasts and he slammed into the cockpit eyes to look in on the Gem of Life on the cockpit seat before he was tossed off and he crashed as the Fenton Jet came in for a landing and Sam exclaimed through the loudspeaker.

"Danny, go, get the Gem!" Danny took flight once more before he dodged the snap of the jaw and grabbed hold of the shuttle's fin, it roaring as it tried to shake him off, but he scaled the fuselage with even prying a piece of the outer hull off as he mused to himself.

"I always wanted to ride on the Space Shuttle, just not on the outside!" He shouted before pushing himself to fly to the front and go intangible, snatching the Gem out of the seat and holding it high as he exclaimed. "Yes!" The shuttle reverted back, but that also meant that it was going to fall, the Fenton Jet its crash zone as Tucker spoke with exasperation.

"We had to come here first." As ever the hero, Danny turned intangible and seated himself into the shuttle controls as he versed to himself through the number of controls before him.

"OK, I've run the simulation a million times on my computer." He worked through the motions for a flight landing as he started to pull up, Sam and Tucker hugging the Auto-Jack before Danny managed and the shuttle went screeching past before he deployed the parachutes, slowing it down to a halt before he breathed, smiled to the controls and left the shuttle before he exclaimed with a sense of joy. "Ladies and gentlemen, the eagle has landed... intact!" The moment was ruined by the Guys in White, having followed them to the camp.

"Daniel Fenton, AKA Danny Phantom. Give yourself up!" The GIW had come swooping in with jets as they blasted the Fenton Jet, the craft exploding and Danny flying over in sheer shock before the smoke had soon revealed Sam and Tucker emerging in motorcars, perfectly okay as he cheered.

"Yes!" But the GIW were not done yet as they wheeled about to launch more missiles at the team as the motorcars bolts before suddenly a wall of sound blurred and blasted the GIW away in slightly ruined jets, heat scorching the hulls before Danny looked and a he spotted a moving shimmer as he called out. "Drive, guys!" They nodded to his exclaimed and rode, but they didn't expect to suddenly ride up a ramp and disappeared with Danny as the Agents exclaimed in losing visibility.

"We've lost visual again!"

"Don't worry, they won't get far. We've got sensors everywhere." What they didn't seem to notice was the shimmer taking off like a helicopter and flying away to where they needed to head next...


Lights flared alive as the trio took in the steel hull of a ship before a hatch opened up and in came Cedric as he spoke. "Cutting it close, you guys, but that can wait." He turned to Danny. "Danny, revert back, there is something that needs to be done." He nodded before pulling out the Gem of Life from his suit.

"Let's just put you someplace where your ghostly energy can't get out." He pulled out a Fenton Thermos as well and dropped it in as he spoke. "One Reality Gem found, two to go." He reverted back with capping it before he turned. "Now, what is..." A shock prod was jabbed into Danny's gut as Tucker and Sam exclaimed.

"Danny!" They got shocked too before realizing that, it wasn't too painful, then where was the screeching...? From their shirts dropped three bat ghost tattoos as Cedric hummed with whirling the shock prod in his hand.

"I thought so, agents of Lydia, Freakshow's been keeping tabs on you three since you left Fentonworks." Talia hovered over a capsule and Topaz put the little buggers inside as he continued. "In any case, welcome aboard the Phoenix, our ride out to the other sites." They nodded in amaze as Cedric guided them through the airborne vessel, her pilots being Johnathan, Johnny Thirteen's Demi form, and Kathleen, Kitty's Demi form, to the trio's surprise. "Converted and overhauled from the GIW's 'precious' White Pelican, this now-mobile gunship will get us down to Nevada and California in no time."

"Besides, Baby Pop, you didn't think that we were going to leave it to you to do, did you?"

"He did." Tucker and Sam voiced as Danny exclaimed.

"Come on!" The Demi shook their heads with amuse as Cedric spoke.

"Let's fly!"

"No problem!" Johnathan answered as he adjusted his aviator hat. "I got it on lock!" With that, the ship started to fly and it was much quicker than the hover settings to the four-wheelers as they started to cut down on time while, elsewhere, Freakshow made the threat clear, but Jazz had the knowledge and skill to turn it around on him by acknowledging his obsession as 'ghost envy'.

The Mansons were angry about the whole thing, but the Foleys took a look and knew that the Fentons were playing along with being the 'expert ghost-haters' that they often portray, but they couldn't answer about their routine until much later, when they were in a more quiet location to do it...


In the Nevada landscape, after the group had made the mistake of dropping by a fast-food stop and getting some food in their stomach and nearly getting busted for it, saved by Johnathan's Shadow in draining the batteries of the waitress, a customer, and the counter clerk, Sam cheered as they approached the next location. "Gothapalooza! The ultimate celebration of despair and darkness." But they gasped when it was clear that was not what was waiting for them as the area was of sunshine, happiness, and cuddles as Kathleen spoke with them landing outside the zone.

"This is nightmare fuel for ANY goth."

"Yeah, I am not much for cuddly stuff, but I know this is a terror on any dark person." Johnathan answered back as the trio took the four-wheelers to get closer, but they were soon swarmed as the teddy bears cheered.

"We love you!"

"Destroy them, Danny!" Sam yelped as she suffered the tackles from the plushy toys. "Find the gem that did this and rip the stuffing out of every last one of them!" She yelled to getting tackled again, but Danny was a bit more calm as he spoke.

"Somehow I don't think that'll be necessary." He then asked the bears for the Gem of Form, since that was likely the reason for this change. "May I have the Gem of Form?"

"Say the magic word!"

"Die?"

"Please?" The sea of fluff parted to one holding the yellow gem in hand and Danny accepted it before he flashed the Gem across the area, the happiness deluging to dark, punk-rock, and gothic ways as the teddy bears reverted back to being Goths with Sam relaxing to the goth touch as she breathed.

"Aahh. I love the smell of anti-establishment in the evening."

"Two gems down, one to go." Danny answered to dropping the Gem of Form into the Thermos and breathing. "And we have a full day to find the last one before Freakshow goes back on his word, I think." But anymore was lost when the goths started to panic to a rolling tank as it fired at Danny, missing, but still on him before the vehicle started to haywire and pop before it broke down, Danny beaming as Johnathan waving and gestured to the ride as they took to it as the Phoenix took off again before Danny spotted a semi pulling a trailer with his face on the side. "The world knows who I am and now are sending newspapers about me too?"

"We need to get to the Comic book Convention before the deadline hits." Tucker exclaimed as Kathleen spoke.

"No worries, the two of us have got your back in getting to Cali, and as much as I want to lounge in the sun, saving the world is more important than a sun tan."

"Keep me from the beach, hot-blooded males like me would just make things worse."

"Johnny, you know that I can't stop you, but I love you nonetheless."

"Right... right, I can do it, but saving the world is first." The party blinked before they looked to each other.

"Johnny is getting himself straight for Kitty?

"I could never have factored this in!"

"I am seeing the end of the world right now if this is real."

"Kitty and Johnny are always arguing about that, I never thought I would see my girlfriend being so... humble with Johnny doing the same." Cedric glanced among them before he and Talia shared a glance and they shrugged before leaving the four to debate as Cedric spoke.

"Take us in, we will find that Convention and get the last Gem before it is too late."

"Hold on!" The Phoenix flew true in leaving the GIW behind in their wrecked tank while, in the same location elsewhere, Jazz struck a solid line between Freakshow on the family ideals as it was clear that Freakshow was letting ghost envy dominate him and Jazz used it to get a firm standing and where she could work with as this was a prime example of ghost envy, greater than her folks.


Arriving in San Diego, the party looked out to a giant screen revealing Danny's identity and people swarming about, some even looking like they were looking for the ghost kid with smiles as Danny spoke. "What is this, a world-wide event where I am the main attraction?"

"I hate this, if I was a ghost still, I would be roasting your buns, Baby Pop." Topaz answered with a frown as Danny exclaimed.

"I have never BEEN to California, Topaz, please don't pin this on me!"

"In any case, locating the Convention is our first priority." Tucker answered before he huffed. "Also, why are there no Tuckers? Am I not geek-worthy?"

"Geeky enough, but not geek enough to warrant a costume of you." Kathleen smirked as the other two looked and spoke.

"Whoa, Danny Phantom and Sam Manson cosplayers, I was not seeing that coming." Topaz looked as well before she beamed to some of her kit being worn about.

"Well now, some old Ember McLain cosplays, some people still have great taste."

"Tucker still has his cosplay and I am sure Jazz keeps hers in a closet." Topaz beamed at that statement from Danny, at least some people still liked her style as they looked before spotting it at one of the large convention centers.

"There is it, let's land."

"Roger."

"Copy that." The two surprisingly excellent pilots started the landing and uncloaked in the lot for the trio to get off as Danny spoke.

"Smooth landing, you guys, you have to teach me someday."

"We ran sims and went through practice flights to get it right, Danny, you got a freebie with the shuttle." He nodded as they got down to the ground floor and looked about as Tucker exclaimed to even more cosplayers, none doing him justice.

"Still no Tuckers. A crying shame. I even come with gadgets!" He voiced with pulling several out before Danny stated.

"Hm. Everything here looks normal." Topaz and Sam watched a tiny cosplayer walk by as the goth voiced.

"Compared to what?"

"Oh, you know what I mean. I don't think anyone's triggered the Gem of Fantasy yet."

"Baby Pop, you realize..."

"I might have jinxed us? Yes, Topaz, I do." They headed in, just as a trio of cosplayers showed off the Gem of Fantasy.

"Behold, the Crystal Leviathan's life-sustaining Kleptonian gem!"

"Wow, where'd you find that?"

"Lemme see, lemme see!" The wolfgirl cosplayer begged with taking it in hand before the gem came to life and she yelped with it burning her hands, the gem flying into the red cosplayer's hands to burn before it flew again into the blue chunk's hands before the fantasy came to life as one became a monster of blue crystal, the red one became a samurai with a flaming katana, and the girl transformed into an actual feral creature between wolf and cat as Danny exclaimed to the trio floating in the air.

"Awesome! The Gem of Fantasy turned three regular nerds into superheroes!" Danny gesturing to them as he hoped that they were actually heroes to help out. "They can help us rescue our parents!"

"Baby Pop, I'd hate to burst your bubble, but if you read comic books, you would know those aren't super heroes, they're super villains!"

"Wow..." Danny moaned with running a hand over his face. "I did jinx us..." The fantasy-turned geeks went on the attack and Danny and Topaz had to step it up...


Doubt had to be pushed to the side for now as the trio of villains brought to life went on the attack as the party dodged out of the sword slash of the Red Samurai, Danny landing before Blue Chuck's feet as he commented. "I've gotta get that Gem before there geeks do some real damage." Cedric moved fast with blocking the Samurai's swing, his armor protecting him before he swung his fist into the samurai's gut to stagger him as Talia quickly changed in the panic to support as Danny got up and fired an ectoblast to knock Chuck off his feet and went for the Gem when the big guy returned with a slam, knocking Danny into a Danny Phantom booth and Danny pulled off a comic book biography on him before exclaiming. "Hey! I never approved of this!"

Topaz stole it off and looked it over before she hummed and tossed it to the nerds still slightly running the booth. "Too heroic of a backstory, but good storyline." The two recovered to fight as Tucker and Sam made a break of the Gem as the she-wolf landed in front of them.

"You shall not pass. So speaks Empress She-Wolf!"

"That may be the hottest geek I've ever laid eyes on." Tucker voiced to Sam as She-Wolf transformed into a more wolf-like and inhuman form to roar as Sam inquired with narrowed brow.

"Yeah? How 'bout now?"

"Yeah, still hot." Sam wasted no time as she extended her power to a nearby series of plants and lashed out, slamming She-Wolf from the side and dazing her as the geeks yelped.

"Aah! Our comics have come alive!" Blue Chuck roared with smashing some more things as the panic continued.

"I don't know whether to be horrified or run and report this on the internet!"

"Let's get them out of the building!" Topaz shouted as both her and Danny took flight and phased through, somehow drawing the transformed nerds to give chase as She-Wolf lashed out a wolf's claw to snatch Danny and fling him into the roof of a building before she had a lesson in blunt trauma from Topaz as she shouted, having slammed She-Wolf with her guitar. "No one touches my Baby Pop!"

"Yours?"

"Look, I got more time with you lately, don't judge me!" Both dodged out of the way of Chuck before Danny grabbed him and tied him up to a flagpole as Danny voiced.

"Now to finish off the rest of the legion of super-dweebs." He tackled the Red Samurai to the roof, but their problems were not done as Agents O and K arrived, on jetpacks, but out of breath as O spoke.

"Man, these cross-country ghost chases are like... totally exhausting."

"How the heck did they even...!?"

"No time, watch out!" Both agents fired and Topaz dodged as Danny and the Samurai were caught in nets before they attempted a few more shots at She-Wolf and Blue Chuck that charged at them before the Red Samurai slashed free and quickly damaged the jetpacks to sent O and K into the roof as Danny ripped himself free as he exclaimed.

"Not so fast!" The Red Samurai clearly didn't speak in English in counter, but the pair of Demis blasted them, causing Blue Chuck to lose the Gem of Fantasy and Danny caught it as the trio fall to the roof and puffed up smoke to which they reverted back to normal as the Guys in White confronted them in surprise.

"Hey, you're just geeks."

"Technically, we're enthusiasts." Danny and Topaz returned as Sam spoke.

"Nice work, Danny. We've got all three gems now!"

"And Freakshow only has one." Danny answered as he dropped the Gem of Fantasy into the Thermos. "That means once we find him, we can beat him and take the Gauntlet!" He tapped his jaw in pondering as he asked. "Now how do we do that, as much as I want to revert reality back so not everyone knows my secret, I don't know where to go first in order to find Freakshow."

"We may have an option to that." The four of them looked to Cedric and Talia as Cedric was holding the capsule containing Lydia's tattoo spirits. "Lydia was going to use these to keep track of you and catch you once all three Gems were collected, Talia and me could have been able to back trace the source to Freakshow, but with the time limit, we can't." Talia joined in as she explained.

"So the more drastic option is to find you once Lydia has grabbed you and brought you to Freakshow." The four of them shared a glance before Danny spoke.

"We got no other option, are you sure you can find us again?"

"Danny, I don't often ask this, but are you willing to be traced down by a ghost hunter?" Danny pondered it for a moment before both Sam and Topaz grabbed his arms and spoke.

"Danny/Baby-Pop, are you sure that is a good idea?" Both glanced at the other before looking back at Danny.

"Like this whole thing is, it's risky, but Cedric knows what he does and besides..." He pulled his arms free a bit and walked over to Cedric as he spoke. "He has the plan, so let's trust him." He extended a hand and Cedric shook it before they released and Cedric breathed as the system worked.

"Starting the tracker, Talia." She nodded as her hands glowed before the glass dissolved and Topaz joined the pair as Freakshow would be expecting the trio to get caught, so it would work as the ghosts flew and the trio played the long con as Lydia appeared and unleashed her tattoos, Sam a bit nervous voicing it.

"Uh, guys?"

"We can save our parents!"

"And we can change reality so that nobody remembers my secret." The vortex of tattoo ghosts swirled around them as they yelped with getting taken away, Cedric grimacing at letting it happen while Talia held Topaz back a bit before Cedric had a fix.

"They just got teleported to a rural area, let's move!" The trio bolted for the Phoenix in following the trail...


Beside the train that ferried Freakshow, a vortex of ghosts emerged from the ground and from that vortex emerged the trio as they groaned with falling to the ground, dazed as the ghosts retracted to Lydia and Freakshow made his presence known as he spoke. "Well, well. Look what the bats dragged in... with my Reality Gems!" The failed ringleader spoke with rubbing his hands together as Danny took a glance to the Thermos before moving to refuse as he got up with a hand on the cap.

"I don't think so." But some of the tattoos must have lingered as they suddenly snatched the Thermos out of his hands. "What? Ah!" He failed to retake it as the Thermos was sent into Freakshow's hand as Danny grimaced. "Oh, no." But he could gun for it when the tattoo that was binding his friends suddenly grabbed him and pulled him into the hold as Freakshow popped the Thermos open and dumped the Gems into his hand and tossed it before slotting the Gems in.

"The Gem of Life... the Gem of Form... the Gem of Fantasy... and put them with a power source, and..." He turned to the trio as he continued to speak with a tap of the head. thanks to you, I now know how to activate the Gauntlet!" He laughed before starting the sequence which was... different, much more complex as they activated it through Form, Fantasy, Form, Life, and Fantasy, perhaps the new sequence of Form, Life, Life, Form, Fantasy, Form, Fantasy, Form, Fantasy, Form, Life, Fantasy, and Power was meant for a more superior control over reality? Not that it mattered too much as Sam pleaded for Danny to do something, her grasp of her own power unruly right then.

"Danny, stop him!" But Danny couldn't with his struggling.

"I can't break free!" Freakshow completed the sequence as the Gems glowed as the power transformed Freakshow as well as his dark attire changed to that of an actual ringmaster with elaborate coat of red and hat of black and white, a red-jeweled specter forming in his hand as the ground rose to his command.

"Thanks to you, I am now ringmaster of all reality!" Fireworks erupted behind him before he waved a gauntleted hand to the sunny sky to change it to a starry night. "Neato, huh?" He laughed with glancing to the captive folks as Danny exclaimed.

"Let 'em go, Freakshow! I brought you the gems. We had a deal!" Freakshow countered as he walked over.

"The deal was, bring me the gems if you want to see them alive again." He continued with gesturing over to them. "Well, here they are: alive-for now." He laughed before the Gauntlet glowed red and the folks vanished before Freakshow turned to Danny and his friends as they too disappeared with a red puff, to Danny's surprise as they reappeared on a roller coaster, but the trek was littered with death traps of fire-breathing Jack-in-the-box, clashing stone mallets, and a dead-end drop into a deadly compound of liquids as Lydia, approaching the junction box to the ride, threw the switch the coaster started as Danny growled.

"You lied to me!" Freakshow glanced over his shoulder as he spoke.

"Yes, yes I did. Goody for me." He turned to the side as he continued. "And even though that tin-suit stole my Djinn from me, I can't punish him for it and it wouldn't be drama if I didn't give you a sporting chance." He smiled in undoing the bindings as he bent over to continue. "And an audience!" Where the stadium level stands came from was anyone's guess as Freakshow exclaimed. "A big audience!" They were filled with clowns as Danny got up to look at the coaster and moved to save them from the death traps as Freakshow played it up, his scepter turning into a microphone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, freaks of all ages, may I direct your attention to the center ring-" He gestured to the efforts of Danny as he took flight as fast as he could with grim determination. "-where Danny Phantom, AKA Danny Fenton, will attempt to rescue his friends and family from a ghastly doom of my own construction!" He spotted the best place to stop the ride band landed just has he was hit with a golden beam and turned into an orange gelatin as he moaned.

"Really, gelatin!? As if being a ghost was bad enough at times!" He couldn't move as the ride splattered him as Freakshow continued his speech.

"Only to be stopped at every turn by the master of all reality." He took off his hat and bowed as the members shouted.

"Danny!" Sam exclaimed as Tucker joined her.

"It can't be!"

"Noooo!" Jack screamed in disbelief.

"Danny! No!" Maddie tried to lunge out of the car, but Jack stopped her and she fell against him in crying as the globs of gelatin fell to the ground as Freakshow listened for more.

"What's that? You want more?" The clowns cheered as Freakshow yielded to their cheer.

"Well, since you insist, I'll give you more. Much more!" He blasted the sky and the world changed to his desires, changing it all to a freakdom worthy of his name and a kingdom with a crown for him as he cheered as well, the big screen showing all of the changes, making the location based in Washington from the looks of it, from coasters, tents, hammer games, and much more dangerous and scary things to his tastes, even Mount Rushmore, the Capitol Building, Washington Monument, and Golden Gate Bridge were changed. "It's all mine now. My revenge, your nightmare." He cheered with a stride.

"There! A kingdom fit for a freak, and a freakdom fit for a king." The coaster rattled on with the screaming occupants before Danny pulled himself together with a groan.

"That didn't hurt, but sure was exhausting." He bolted for the car as they soon approached the Jack-in-the-Box before something slashed right past him as the car stopped and the flames started to surge before a eagle-sized hawk flapped in right of the flame and beat its wings with such force that the head literally was blasted back as Danny exclaimed.

"Ferdinand!" The hawk screeched in greetings as the riders realized they were just saved and that their ghostly hero was still okay as Jazz called out.

"Danny!"

"He's alive!" Jack exclaimed with joy as Jazz quickly used the moment to get Danny thinking about how to handle Freakshow.

"He has ghost envy! Use psychology!"

"Psychology? That's it!" The Jack-in-the-Box popped right back up to blast flames, but Ferdinand didn't let that happen as it blasted the head, cleaving it from the trap before the pair gunned for the ride, the mallets coming up before someone landed on the hood of the ride as she shouted with a keyboard in hand.

"Ever heard of breaking the charts?" Topaz McLain beamed as she readied her stride. "Because I can break them and stone at the same time!" She lashed out with a groove of power as the stone actually erupted into pieces and they rode on as Danny breathed before he heard a booming voice behind him.

"Oh, no. You do not get to leave this world with a smile." Danny evaded the grab of a titan-sized Freakshow as Danny started to use the mind against a stuck up actor while avoiding the hits and swats.

"Why wouldn't I smile? So what if you're the most powerful human on earth?" Freakshow clapped, but Danny just phased through. "No matter what you do, I'm half-ghost, and uh, you're not."

"I am the master of all reality!" Freakshow blasted, but Danny just dodged.

"Oh sure, but can you do this?" He stretched and bent around the blast as the crowd cheered for the act as Freakshow shouted with rage that his limelight was being taken away.

"What? No! He's not the star of this circus! I am! Me!" Danny cartwheeled in the air as he continued.

"Ghost powers..." He vanished and reappeared with energy in his hands. "...ghost energy..." He fling a few blasts at the big hat as Danny exclaimed in getting inside Freakshow's head. "...ghost, ghost, ghost!" The blasts made a smiley face on the hat as Danny waved on the big screen to the cheering crowd as Freakshow bellowed.

"I will not be upstaged by a ghost!" That got the crowd's ire in throwing drinks and popcorn at the floundering ringmaster as Danny just corrected.

"Ah, half-ghost, technically, but still way cooler than you." He didn't brace as Freakshow swatted him out of the air.

"Enough!" Danny groaned in a daze as Freakshow mused. "I may be losing control of the crowd, but I control all reality." Danny rolled over and eyed the Thermos discarded before glancing back up to the giant.

"And if you think being a half-ghost is so cool..." He lifted the gauntlet up as the Gem blazed white and he changed in a flash of light into an abomination of ghostly elements as he roared, with four arms, wings, three eyes on his now-green face and a face on his chest which was hidden under a cloak. "What do you think of me now that I'm all ghost?" The chest roared before Danny beamed with snatching the Thermos.

"I think this just got a lot easier." Good part about it was that Freakshow had no protection against the pull of the Thermos now as he was getting absorbed into the Thermos.

"What? No! Nooo!" With that, Freakshow was defeated and the Gauntlet popped right off to shrink back down before Danny capped the Thermos as he spoke.

"Sucker." He glanced up as the coaster was coming to an end before another hand grabbed the gauntlet and donned it as Talia spoke, a golden aura around the Gauntlet.

"Allow me to do the honors, friend." She gestured and snapped, the tub of death suddenly turning into a rubber ducky pool as the ride jumped and landed in the waters below before the riders got out, Topaz having jumped and bounced on the rubber side while Ferdinand landed on Tucker's soaked head as Danny joined Topaz on the side as he exclaimed.

"Are you guys OK?! Oh, Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Manson, Mr. and Mrs. Foley." Danny waved to the other pair of parents in the pool before a wall of ghosts erupted and Lydia the center of it as Danny noticed with with a turn. "And as for you..." Talia did so as Lydia was turned into a fish, mallet, apple, teddy bear, and back, but before she could escape, Cedric tossed a disc, capturing Lydia and the disc returned as he spoke with a tap of the helm.

"Capture Disc, still in production, but a bit of a lighter way to carry ghosts, but needs a lot of them for a lot of ghosts." Talia removed the Gauntlet before tossing it as Danny bolted up, snagging the Gauntlet on and pointed a palm at the sky before everything returned to normal in a wave of orange energy across the world as Danny landed in the light of the sun and turned back to human, the Gauntlet remaining the same before Jack's voice called out.

"Danny!" He turned to the stern looks on his parents' face as Maddie joined in with a firm tone.

"Young man?"

"I...I'm sorry." He yelped as Jack caught him in a bear-hug and pulled away as he spoke.

"We're very proud of you, son." No sooner had Jack released than Danny getting tackle-hugged by his mom and being repeatedly kissed on the cheek.

"Oh! Oh, my baby boy!" Danny spoke to give the chat volume and direction to the rest of them that were more in the dark than Team Phantom.

"But I lied to you. Over and over for a really long time. If I were you guys, I'd be furious."

"Well, of course, you lied to us. We never gave you a reason not to."

"All this time we've been yammering on destroying and dissecting ghosts." Jack filled in as he rested a hand on Danny's shoulder. "I'd have been terrified too, if I were you."

"We love you, sweetie. You."

"Whether you're ghost, boy, or something in between."

"And I appreciate that." Danny voiced in giving a hug to Jack as he continued. "More than you guys will ever know." Maddie joined in and Danny noticed a wink from them and a slight metallic shape under their suits at the shoulders and chest as he continued with looking at the Gauntlet. "Or will ever remember." With a wave of his hand, the Gauntlet did its work in rewriting history around them before he had to stop at a familiar location to get rid of some bad baggage, giving a salute to them as he headed off...


On the outskirts of Amity, the GIW were hard at work getting data together before said data was swiftly changed, but they still worked on it heedlessly before the alarms went off and O and K glanced to the screen at the end that read about an ecto-intruder as K exclaimed to his partner.

"What is it?"

"A massive spike in ecto-energy." Both looked up to Phantom hovering in the air, the Reality Gauntlet still on his arm as he spoke.

"That would be me." The agents moved to fire their ecto-weapons before Danny did away with those.

"Ah-ah-ahh..." The weapons turned into a tuba and a chicken to the Gauntlet's glow, to their surprise, as Danny fished out the Thermos with speaking. "Here, a gift." It tossed it as it clattered to the floor before shattering to released the ghostly monster of Freakshow before Danny reverted the turn back to human as the agents arrested the villain as Danny made to leave before he returned to set some rules. "Oh, and from now on, you're gonna leave Danny Fenton and his family alone."

"Why would we do that?"

"Because he's not the ghost you're looking for." The gauntlet glowed blue as both agents answered in parroting.

"He's not the ghost we're looking for." With that, Danny left the scene behind for the GIW to handle Freakshow as he returned back to his house where the party had formed to meet him there...


Danny had flew over all of the city to make sure that he was nothing more than 'Danny Phantom' before he returned to the party resting at the steps of Fenton Works as Danny reverted back to being human as he spoke. "So that's it. I set everything back to the way it was before. Nobody knows I'm half-ghost, except you guys, Team Phantom, and Jazz." He brought the Gauntlet up to look at as he spoke. "Now it's time to destroy this thing for good." On reflex, Danny hid the Reality Gauntlet behind his back when a voice called out.

"Hey, Fentonio, Orlando, and Dawn!" Dash and Paulina came walking over as Dash his minor spiel, both dressed for a time at the beach. "What are you still doing in town?"

"Yeah, weren't you taking a trip to Loserville?" Paulina continued as she took off her sunglasses. "Oh wait, you're already there!" She put them back on as both laugh before she cleared her throat and spoke. "Thanks for keeping us safe, maybe next time, it could be us saving the town!"

"Yeah, that would be so wicked, but today is summer, and summer waits for no one!" Both headed off as Danny realized the meaning behind the world reverting back to pre-reveal standards.

"Oh, man. That's right. Everything's back to the way it was. Which means we should be getting ready for our vacation!" Danny turned to Sam and Tucker who had stood up to watch the pair leave, but both didn't look too thrilled with the idea as Sam spoke first.

"Uh, if it's OK, Danny, pass."

"Yeah. We already had one cross country trip together. I don't think we can handle another." Tucker stated as Danny could see the connection as he breathed.

"Yeah, I guess so." He peered at the Gauntlet with switching back to Phantom as he confirmed the intent. "All right, then, time to finish this." He took to the sky and flung the Gauntlet high up before using his right hand to blast, the Gauntlet floating for a moment in green ecto-energy before it erupted into charred fragments and Danny beamed with the work done before Jack made his appearance again, swiftly peering about before making the scene.

"Hey!" Danny turned to him, peering out the opened window. "Yeah, you! You've got a lot of nerve, floating around like that!" He rushed back in and grabbed a large ectogun as he made his usual threat for just the appearance. "When I get my hands on you, I'll tear you apart molecule by molecule!" He readied and fired to which Danny dodged as he waved goodbye.
