First of all, I want to thank everyone for their patience. After all, I didn't get any death threats, did I? I thank everybody who's reviewed and I hope you enjoy the last chapter.
"Poor, pathetic life forms!" exclaimed Meldar. "Did you really think you were going to defeat me, even with your new allies? In return for this, I'm going to destroy your planet."
"The minute you lower your shield, we'll blow this station to pieces." Will pointed out.
Meldar did not answer. The reactions from everybody were mixed. Jimmy and Will were ready to fight to the end; Jack and Maddie were shocked that this was how it was going to end, but accepting their death. Libby and Cindy were too stunned to fight back, Sheen trying to comfort them. The parents were glaring at Meldar, but there wasn't anything they could do. Carl was absolutely terrified, his parents holding him. Danny was looking for a way out, holding on to his sister, who was terrified beyond reason, and yelling threats to Meldar. The Viruses, Hypnos, and Gauls looked at Meldar defiantly.
Vlad, on the other hand, was silent. He didn't even acknowledge Jack and Maddie putting their arms around his shoulders, as he seemed deep in concentration. Realizing something, Jimmy decided to distract Meldar.
"Hey, Meldar, how did you absorb energy from your matrix generators into yourself?" asked Jimmy.
"It's quite simple, genius." replied Meldar. "After I finally escaped from the TV station, I gradually absorbed the energy. It was a long, painstaking process, since I needed to keep myself alive, but I'd finally done it!"
Unfortunately for him, he didn't notice Vlad before he got hit with a massive dose of ghost lightning. Before he could recover, he got hit by Danny and Sheen. Sheen could finally use ectoplasmic attacks, after more than 3 months.
Will and Cindy immediately jumped into action, taking out every robot around them, before they even knew what was happening. Goddard blasted them with his laser beams, saving Jack from a robot from behind.
All of them took action, eventually managing to take most of the robots out. Still, they had to deal with Meldar, which was up to Sheen, Danny and Vlad. Jack was about to fire, but Maddie pulled his gun down, saying he might hit one of the hybrids.
Meanwhile, the fight was going farther and farther up. Vlad was taking the main offensive, constantly pushing Meldar back. He fired a use energy blast, but Vlad dodged it. Knowing he had the advantage, Vlad became bolder.
What he didn't realize was that Meldar's blast was about to hit Libby and Will, and neither had any time to react. Sheen flew down as fast as he could and concentrated on stopping it, putting up an ectoplasmic shield, trying desperately not to let it get through.
He managed, but he was forced back into his human form, Will catching him. Jimmy and Libby did their best to tend to his injuries, while Will made sure they weren't attacked.
Suddenly, a huge explosion shook the area. Materials started to get sucked into space, including Meldar. Fortunately, Vlad and Danny turned intangible to avoid it. Still, this didn't help everyone else. Most of them grabbed onto the Fenton RV, but even that was about to be sucked in.
"Get inside!" said Jack, and they did so as best as they were able. Unfortunately, some of them couldn't fit, so the hybrids turned them intangible. As they were sucked out of the space station, a tractor beam from Neutron's Glory sucked them inside the ship, while the hybrids simply flew through with their passengers.
"Is you and your party uninjured?" said a robot.
"Take everyone to the hospital wing to check them over." said Will. "Sheen may need some real help."
It turned out that half of them needed to be hospitalized for a few hours, but they were as good as new afterwards. That is, except for Sheen. He stayed unconscious were nearly two days, Libby never leaving her side. Meanwhile, Jimmy and Will were discussing an alliance with the Gorlocks.
"This is a good idea, Jimmy Neutron." said April. "Few planets were dare attack the Gorlocks."
"What are the terms of the alliance?" asked Jimmy.
"That you will defend us, if necessary." said April. "There are no guarantees in the universe, and the Gorlocks have many enemies, including the Yokians."
"There are our enemies as well." said Will. "And we request that you defend us as well. If we have your word, you have an alliance."
They agreed and signed the alliance. April, of course, kissed both on the lips, Jimmy having a wide smile afterwards. Cindy, of course, saw it, and was about to attack April when Will restrained her.
"He'll come around, don't worry." said Will. "I know he likes you, but he doesn't know how to show it. As both of us know too well, his expertise is science, not emotions."
It seemed to calm her down a little, but she was still upset. Will seemed deep in thought, hardly paying attention to Jimmy and April.
I hope he tells her soon. Thought Will. I don't want him to suffer the same fate I did.
Finally, the talks were over and they could head back to earth and let the governments know. They were happy to have an alliance, though they feared the Gorlock's enemies. However, once Will gave the American government the blueprints for hyperspace engines, they were more reassured.
After about a week, they went back to Retroville. There were a few ghosts to catch, but it didn't take very long. Everybody was cheering for Jimmy, and even Dash had a grudging respect.
"Don't think this changes anything between us, Neutron." Dash snarled, though it wasn't as threatening as usual.
"And don't forget my threat still applies, Baxter." said Will.
Their argument soon ended, as there was much more to do. Jimmy, Cindy, Sheen, Libby, and Carl were assured that they didn't have to make up any missing assignments, though Jimmy and Cindy decided to do it anyway.
The rest of the week passed in peace. Now that ghosts were no longer plaguing Retroville, Jimmy and Will finally decided to study the molecular structure of ghosts, with help from Jack and Maddie.
The others had fun playing games on the Neutronic Pyramid, even though it was combat training. Vlad just laughed and watched, after giving Jimmy and Will his information about ghosts.
That night, Vlad called the Fenton Family into the lab to talk. He hoped they would not refuse and doubt his honorable intentions.
"I'd like to train Danny during the summer." said Vlad. "He needs to be prepared for future enemies, and I don't doubt they'll be even stronger."
"It sounds fine to me, but we would like to see him occasionally." said Maddie.
"We trust you, V-Man." said Jack. "Still, it's all up to Danny. What do you think, son?"
"I'll give a try, but I don't fully trust him." said Danny, and turned to Vlad. "If you try to capture me, you'll pay dearly."
"Don't worry, I don't have any such intentions." said Vlad.
They talked for a few more minutes and eventually agreed to it. Vlad sighed since he knew he'd never get over Maddie for more than a brief period, but he could at least help her son prepare for what lay ahead. Now was the hardest point: convincing Sheen's parents.
As predicted, they refused, because unlike the Fentons, they didn't know him at all and were extremely protective of their son now that they knew his secret.
"Well, I've found out why Sheen's powers took so long to develop." said Jimmy the next day.
"Why is that?" asked Danny. "I've been wondering for quite some time."
"It's quite simple: he didn't want them." said Jimmy. "His hatred caused a mental reaction that suppressed his ghost powers. You accepted them quickly, but he hated them because they got in the way of his relationship with Libby."
"I see. I had the same problem at Valentine's Day. I hated my powers going out of control so much that I had little strength to fight a cupid-like ghost, but I just thought it was a 1-time thing. Still, I have another question: How could Sheen develop two new powers in one day?"
"Same reason, except he really wanted his powers. Therefore, the brain stimulated the ghost molecules out of their semi-hibernation and they reacted."
Danny now understood why Sheen's powers were slow to develop. Hopefully, he could hold his own during the summer while he trained with Vlad.
The next day was a Saturday, and Sheen and Libby were walking hand in hand in the park. They sat down near a tree and Sheen finally gathered his courage.
"Libby, I got a question to ask you." said Sheen. "Promise you won't laugh."
"Of course I won't laugh, Sheen." said Libby, seeing that he was being serious and not his usual immature self. She hardly saw any of it ever since he became Sheen Striker.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" asked Sheen, deciding to get his humiliation over with.
Libby stayed silent for a minute. Then she kissed him deeply, knocking Sheen over. Both of them smiled, knowing they now had everything they ever wanted.
"Libby, I have to ask... what do you see in Music?"
"I really seem to like it. I can't really explain it; it just became part of my life."
"You just like it? You're obsessed with it, for crying out loud!"
"Hey, you're obsessed with Ultralord, so you don't have any room to talk! You love nothing more than Ultralord!"
"I love you more." and with that, they kissed passionately, to the dismay of the other residents of the park.
What they didn't know was that Will was watching them through a pair of binoculars. Maybe I should a Danger sign around them every time they kiss. He chuckled to himself. I just wish I had better luck avoiding crushing girls. God, I'm weird. Wonder if Jimmy knows it's my birthday.
He arrived at the lab, where everybody shouted "Surprise!" Cindy and Jazz hugged him, while everybody else was having fun. Judy and Hugh were dancing, to Jimmy's embarrassment. Libby and Sheen were making out on the staircase, to everyone's disgust. Danny was simply standing in the corner, completely emotionless. Jimmy and Cindy were playing with Goddard, while Jack and Maddie decided to have a little contest.
"So they think they can win, do they?" said Jack. "Well, nobody knows how to make out better than Jack Fenton!"
"Please don't tell me they're going to..." said Jazz, but it was too late. Jack and Maddie were kissing with every bit as much passion as Sheen and Libby, just a few feet away from them.
"You know... I wouldn't mind a kiss." said Carl, shying away, fearful she'd yell at him.
"You'll find a girl someday." said Jazz, and left as fast as she could.
"Why doesn't any girl like me?" said Carl sadly, and Will decided to console him. He never truly realized how low his self-esteem was. After failing to snap him out of it, he decided to find Jazz. He was surprised to find tears in her eyes.
"Great, another guy who wants my body." mumbled Jazz.
"Carl's too nice for that." said Will. "He's not very smart, but for all his faults, he's a kind person." I thought I'd defend him in my life, but you learn something new everyday.
Jazz stayed silent and let Will escort her back to the party. Danny asked what was wrong, but Will didn't answer him. Jazz just gave him a look that answered his question.
Everyone sighed in relief the minute the two couples stopped making out, but their relief was momentary as they started again. None of them noticed Jimmy and Cindy were staying as far away from each other as possible. That is, except for Danny, who pointed it out to Will.
"Maybe we should lock those two together" said Danny. "Then they could just kiss and get it over with."
"Let's use the utility closet." said Will. "Jimmy doesn't have any connections from there to his lab, so he can't escape."
So Will led Jimmy and Danny led Cindy into the closet and they locked the door, despite their protests. Danny went ghost to make sure they couldn't get out.
Meanwhile, Judy and Hugh came up with a little prank. They put a sign near Sheen, Libby, Jack, and Maddie saying Danger: Hyperactive Couples Snogging. When the rest of them saw it, they burst into hysterics.
After a couple of hours, the party was over. Libby wanted to know what Will was going to do now that he was an adult, but he didn't know himself. Jazz and Carl were talking with each other, Jazz explaining about the human mind.
"So that's why we can believe in false incidents." said Jazz.
"Wow, you're smart." said Carl. "Maybe you're as smart as Jimmy. No, not quite, but who cares?"
Eventually, Danny let Jimmy and Cindy out, but neither of them had kissed. They were simply ignoring each other. He sighed about the attempt, but he'd get them together if it took 10 years.
Jimmy and Cindy started arguing with each other yet again. Will snuck up behind them and forced their lips together. They stayed quiet for a few moments. Then they suddenly jumped on top of Will, trying to force him to the ground. He eventually got out of their grip and ran, both of them trying to make Will pay.
I'll never admit I liked it, Thought Jimmy.
I'll never admit I liked it, Thought Cindy.
"Well, we may as well give up." said Jimmy, panting. "I just can't catch him."
"Jimmy, I've been thinking." said Cindy. "Let's be friends permanently. The only reason we got along before was because we needed to help Sheen and Danny. This rivalry has gone on long enough."
"I'll go with that." said Jimmy, before a mischievous glint filled his eye. "Don't think I'll go easy on you in school, though."
"I'd never think that, Jimmy." and they hugged each other tightly.
Well, they're not together, but it's a start. Thought Will. But Now I think I'll occupy myself with training Danny and Sheen when I see them.
Life looked good for everyone, but unknown to everyone present, another evil was rising, and it intended to wipe out every person in America, staring with Danny Phantom.
Well, that's the end of the story. I'm planning a sequel, but I won't be able to get it out for some time, since I want to work on Danny in Jump City. Please review and tell me what you think of it.
