A/N: Okay, since I blathered on so long last time, and I have lots of reviews to answer, AND I skipped updating a day, I'll try to make this short. Thanks to everyone who reviewed!
Disclaimer: I own Naco, Dude, the ideas for the Goo Gun and hover-scooters, and the plot. Everything else is somebody elses.

Guilgamesh: Oh, good, I'm glad everyone's staying in character. Glad ya like it so much! Maybe when I finish I'll change the summary to attract more people, but I just loved the idea of a mystery cross. Cool, you're from Venezuela? I don't think I've ever reviewed/been reviewed by anyone from S. America! I don't really know where most of the people who review my fic are from, but that is an interesting thing to know! Hope ya like the new chap! (Oh, and I'm glad ya don't cuss.)
Gundam M: Okey-dokey! (No, I'm not being sarcastic, I just felt like saying that. ;) )
charizardag: Lol! I'm glad you thought that was so funny! It just seemed like somethin' those 2 would do if they met, ya know? Sorry, I've never watched Family Guy (not sure I should if they cuss that much).W/ the Brittney Spades thing, I purposefully changed the last name, mainly so I wouldn't have to put anything in the disclaimer about it. And yes, I know about the 'D' emblem. I have 2 reasons for not using it: 1) This episode is supposed to be before he got that emblem, and 2) I think it looks stupid. But I haven't seent the newest episode of DP yet ("Doctor's Orders"), so I don't know if it looks any better. More on that later, I could fill a whole page ranting about it. No, I don't live in LA. In fact, I'm on the EAST side of the U.S. I submitted the last chap at almost exactly 10 p.m., and I read you're review at 11:30, but the time thing on the e-mail that this site sent me said you reviewed at 10:30, so I haven't got a clue what the time dif is. I promise to read the last chap of your fic! Hope you enjoy this chap!
Darkcloud1: Yep, that's Ron for you.Yeah, I doubt Ron's dad could be allergic to ghosts.Thanks for clearing up all that! Enjoy chapter 6, and thanks for reviewing!
kIrEigIrL: Oh, wow, thanks! I'm so glad you think it's so excellent! Hooray, I have found another KP and DP fan! Some people have actually never heard of DP, I guess Disney channel is more popular. Yeah, I've noticed the name thing. I think it's a trend in TV shows to name the show after the main character/subject. (Ex: Pokemon, MacGyver, Static Shock). Nope, sorry, no pairings here. I'm no good w/ romance. Thanks for reviewing, hope ya like the new chap!
Sirka: Thanks, and okay, seeya in a week! Glad ya liked the dogs!
Robert Teague: Oh, good, I'm glad I'm doing so well! Thanks! I'm so glad people are actually finding this funny, that's what I was hoping for. Hope ya enjoy chapter 6!
theferretmenace: S'okay, that explains why ya haven't updated for a while! Glad ya like it, enjoy chapter 6! (And please update your 'And 2 Shall Meet' Fic soon! I really liked the 'SHS' update!)
Worker72: Heeheehee...read the chap to have some of your questions answered. Glad I have Ron's personality down, but what did you mean by, "...Tucker mention that Danny has the same problem."? What problem? I'm not sure what you're talking about. Well, hope ya enjoy the new chap!
ron-sama: Hey, dude, haven't gotten a review from you for a while! Glad you're enjoying it! Thank goodness my attempts to make this funny have succeeded! ;) I like Kim Possible and Danny Phantom equally, for their own different reasons. Ron's great though, since he's the comic relief of the show. Thanks for reviewing, enjoy chapter 6!
Anythinggirl2004: Yeah, that's Ron. Cool, I've never had my story called stellar before! Thanks!Here's da next chap!
Fantastic Bouncy Girl: Thanks for all the reviews! I'd like to answer all of them specifically, but that would probably take up a lot of page space. So, I'll try to reply to the highlights. Ch.1 review: Glad I got Ron's character right! So glad ya like my fic! Cool, another Hank/Hidalgo fan! Hooray! Ch.2 review: Yeah, it seemed like somethin' Jack would do. :) Glad ya think it's so funny! Ch.3 review: Yeah, I figured I might as well update every day. Once a WEEK? Couldn't you at least make it every couple days? Thanks for da compliments! Oh, and thanks, I wasn't sure if I was spelling Foley right or not. I thought Sam spitting out her drink would be funny. ;) Ch.4 review: Answer to question: because that's how I say it, basically. Ch.5: Oh, yay, you're a Christian? Hooray:) Yeah, I thought that argument would be great! It just seems like somethin' those 2 would do if they met. It's fun finding what you have in common w/ others! About '3 Ms in ME': okay, thanks for warning me. I shall try to be patient! Hope the next chap comes quicker than you were expecting! It's okay, I won't hold your delayed reviews against you. ;) And thanks so much for putting me on your favs/alert lists! Okay, so I fibbed, I couldn't resist answering most of your stuff. Well, here's the next chap, hope ya like it! Please keep those wonderful reviews comin'!
Daeron Blackoak: Yep, I figured only Ron could pull it off. There is another reason why he was able to, though, besides luck. See if ya can figure it out in this chap! Maybe I will be able to use Monkey Fist in my next fic...OO, OO! I think I just got an idea for a sequel! Here, I will give you one big reason for why Kim and Ron are there: because she's a professional hired by Danny's parents who didn't know their son might have the ability to get it back. That's not the only reason, but it is a main one. Glad you're enjoying my fic! Hope you like Ch. 6! Thanks for reviewing!
Oh, yes, and I have discovered that I am not the VERY first to have KP and DP in the same fic, but I do claim the position of being the first author to write/post a fanfic that is STRICTLY a KP/DP cross, since all others I've discovered are big crosses w/ a bunch of different characters from different shows. I shall hold to this belief until someone proves me wrong! Okay, here we go. The newest update! (Wow, I got reviews from 13 different people that time! Rock on!)
Ch. 6: Answered Questions
Dude and Naco led them all over the place, through halls and rooms, up and down stairs, but eventually everyone realized that they were headed in a gradually downward direction. Kim noticed that Danny seemed slightly nervous, and she asked why. Danny shrugged and answered, "I'd just rather find the portal and get out of here than find Vlad first."
Kim suspected that he was still hiding something, but instead of saying so, she replied, "Yeah, we'd probably find it faster at the rate we're going looking for Vlad. Still, that portal is rather big, right?" The floating ghost boy nodded. "So it'd probably help to get him to show us how he got it here without anyone noticing."
Danny sighed. "Yeah, right, sure, I guess." Needless to say, this was not the most reassuring response Kim had ever heard.
Tucker was looking around as they walked. Suddenly a realization hit him. "Hey. Do you realize that we've been wandering all over a 'secret' mansion with a huge wall and ghost guard dogs?"
Sam rolled her eyes. "No, Tucker, I thought we were at the mall. What's your point?"
Her friend glared at her vehemently. "My point is, why haven't we run into anything in here? We're running around in the guy's house, for goodness sake, yet we haven't seen any guards or ghosts or evil butlers in ugly tuxedoes…"
"Tucker's right," Kim agreed. "We should have run into some trouble by now. And I've been wondering about something else, too." The red-haired cheerleader seemed to be contemplating the currently-normal-looking ghost dogs in front of them. "How was this Masters guy able to train 2 ghost dogs?" she wondered aloud. "I mean, even with a ghost portal at his disposal, you'd think ghosts would be hard to control without a special collar or something." The 3 Amity Park teens glanced at each other guiltily. Kim glared at them, crossing her arms. "Is there something you're still not telling me?"
Suddenly Ron hissed, "Look! These stairs are going down to the basement. Looks like a great place to store that ghost portal-y whatchamacallit." Kim turned her attention to the door at the bottom, and Sam, Tucker, and Danny quietly sighed with relief.
The door led into a large empty room with another, steel-framed, door on the other side. As they approached it, Dude and Naco began growling quietly. Kim motioned for everyone to stay against the walls as they slipped toward the open doorframe. Holding the Fenton Goo Gun, point up, near the side of her head, she carefully peeked around the side of the door.
The room inside was massive and filled with strange-looking machines and devices. Several bizarre-looking weapons were racked on the wall. Peering around carefully, the green-eyed girl finally straightened up and said, "Looks empty. Let's go in, but be careful. I don't like the look of this place." She walked into the room, and the others began to trickle in behind her. Rufus climbed out of Ron's pocket and began looking at all of the strange machinery. Tucker let out a cry of surprise.
"Look! It's the Ghost Portal!" he yelled, forgetting to keep his voice down. Sure enough, in the middle of the room sat what looked like a large metal pod. On the front end was a large circular doorway with striped WARNING-labeled steel doors closing it off. It looked unharmed. Naco and Dude were sniffing it all over and whining.
Danny was still outside of the room, waiting for Sam and Ron to go in so that he could get through the doorway. As he followed them through, he heard a beeping sound and looked up to see a flashing red light. Suddenly, before he could react, something flew out of the doorframe and latched onto his neck. "Gack!" he choked in surprise. The others whirled around to see what the matter was.
"Danny? Are you okay?" Sam asked with confusion.
Danny was clutching the object around his neck. "There's something on my neck!" he cried, pulling at it. "I can't get it off!"
Sam took a closer look at the thing. "It looks like…some sort of electronic collar!" she told them. "It's metal and has little green veins creased through it like the junk in the Fenton Lab." She glanced up at Danny apologetically. "No offense, Danny."
"None taken," he replied, still straining with the collar. "Just get this thing off me!" Sam nodded, then motioned Ron over to help her pull. As they reached for it, however, green electricity sparked from the device and shocked them sharply. The 2 teens leapt back with a joint yell, and Ron pulled off his gloves and began sucking on his fingers fiercely, while Sam flapped her stinging hands as if to cool them off.
Mocking laughter echoed through the room, and the white-haired halfa spun around. A tall silhouetted figure stood in the doorway, laughing maniacally. Kim crouched into a fighting stance as an evil-sounding voice said, "Why, Danny, my dear boy. So good to see you again. I see you've fallen right into my trap." The figure stepped forward, revealing a middle-aged man with silver-gray hair, a square beard, and an evil, weasely smile on his face.
"Plasmius," Danny growled, gritting his teeth and glaring angrily.
The man looked at his watch. "I must commend you, Daniel. You're here much sooner than I expected." He glanced at Kim and Ron. "Ah, but I see you had some extra help." The strange blue-eyed man gave Kim a gentlemanly bow. "Miss Possible, I've heard much about you. Welcome to my humble home."
"Humble?" Ron muttered. "I've seen castles less humble then this."
Kim relaxed her stance slightly, but she continued to keep a wary attitude. "Vlad Masters, I presume," she said, raising an eyebrow suspiciously. Glancing at Danny, she asked, "But why did he call you Plasmius?"
Vlad sighed, but the relaxed smile remained on his face. "Well, my boy, it seems you've given my secret away. Ah well, I was going to destroy them anyway, so I might as well show them."
2 black energy rings suddenly appeared at the waist of his black suit. Just like Danny's, they zipped over him, changing his black suit to white with a long, flowing white-backed and red-lined cape and black gloves, belt, collar, and boots. His skin turned to a slightly bluish white color, his eyes turned bright, solid red, and he seemed to now have vampire fangs. Last of all, his straight silver hair turned pitch black and curled into a shape like a pair of horns above his head. The man floated a few inches off the ground as the transformation was completed, that annoying, self-confident smile still on his pale face.
Kim hardly even flinched; the teen heroine had been through enough strange stuff in the last hour to keep her from being all that surprised. With her hands on her hips, she looked the ghost man over and then glanced at Danny, Sam, and Tucker. "So this is what you've been keeping from me," she said, her eyebrow still raised accusingly. Sam and Tucker gave her sheepish grins and shrugged, but Danny continued to glare at Vlad.
Kim turned back to Vlad. "I'm guessing that Plasmius is you're name in this form."
"Actually, it's Vlad Plasmius," he said cockily. "And I-"
"Ewww!" Ron suddenly blurted, a grimace on his face. "You call yourself Plasmius? It sounds like something that comes out of your nose!" Rufus pretended to throw up, showing his agreement with Ron. "And what are you supposed to be, anyway?" the blonde goofball added. "Some kind of flying vampire?"
Vlad's face had turned an angry beet red. "No, you idiotic buffoon!" he practically screeched. "I'm a ghost! Or at least half-ghost, like young Daniel here."
"What do you want with the Fentons' Ghost Portal?" Kim asked seriously.
Vlad let out another mocking laugh. "Oh, I don't care about that thing; I already have my own. It was simply bait to draw the Danny Phantom here." The pale ghost man then noticed Tucker and Sam about to try pulling the collar off of Danny again. "Ah, ah, ah, I wouldn't do that," he warned gleefully. "That collar is set to shock any humans that make contact with it. And I can set it to shock ghosts, too. Watch." He pushed a button on his wristband. Green electricity sparked out and surged through Danny's body. The white-haired ghost boy cried out, and Plasmius clicked another button, stopping the shocks. "See? I now have complete control over you, and no one other than another ghost can help you get it off!"
Danny was lying on the ground, holding his sore neck. Rufus hovered worriedly over him, jumping onto his chest and peering at his pained face. As he leaned over the collar, a spark jumped at him. With a squeaky, "Yileep!", the pink naked mole rat raced back over to Ron and into his pocket. Ron patted the pocket comfortingly as Danny groaned.
"It was almost pathetically simple, really," Vlad began in that annoying arrogant tone villains have.
"And here comes the plot-revealing monologue," Kim whispered to Ron sarcastically. He grinned.
"You see," Plasmius continues, "I have acquired a new invention: a transportation device." The pale ghost man gestured to a ray-gun-shaped machine near the Fenton Ghost Portal. "The only problem was getting a tracker on the Ghost Portal so that it could be transported from a distance, and I needed a place close enough for the tracker's signal to reach the transporter."
"So that's why you're here instead of Wisconsin," Sam interrupted. Vlad glared at her.
"Yes, I was just about to say that. Anyway," he went on, still smiling evilly, "I hired a ghost to slip through the Ghost Portal and plant a tracker on it. Then he was to place several clues in the room that only Danny was likely to find, like one of my hairs, and then leave the house and let Danny Phantom capture him. Daniel would, of course, want to put him back in the ghost zone through the Portal."
Danny had recovered and was listening with the others. He smirked for a second and rattled the Fenton Thermos a bit. "To bad for you're ghost lackey that I decided to wait 'til after school to throw him in."
Vlad merely shrugged. "I don't care about that dolt; his being captured was simply assurance that you would discover the disappearance of the Portal." The middle-aged halfa turned to look at Kim and Ron. "It's too bad your parents had to call in extra help. Oh well, I'll just have to destroy them with the rest of your pathetic sidekicks." He snapped his fingers, and suddenly a bunch of ghosts fazed through the wall. They all had blue or green skin, and they varied from rather normal-looking human ghosts to strange animal hybrids. Kim brought the Fenton Goo Gun into a ready position and crouched into a fighting stance again, while Ron tried to hide behind Dude and Naco, who were growling softly.
Vlad flew over to the Fenton Portal. Turning back to the surrounded group of humans and Danny, he smiled mockingly. "Remember how you told me to get a bachelor cat, Daniel?" he asked. "Well, I decided to take up that idea." The red-eyed man pushed a button next to the portal, and the door whooshed open to reveal a swirling green vortex. Everyone stared at it tensely as a high-pitched yowling roar echoed from it. Suddenly a giant feline head with glowing red eyes like the ghost dogs' pushed through the doorway. It had 2 long, sharp fangs sticking out of its upper jaw, and its fur was, strangely, a neon purple with black stripes. The massive creature had to squeeze through the doorway, its razor-sharp claws digging into the metal floor. Finally, it stood fully in the large room, 3 tails lashing behind it menacingly.
Suddenly Naco and Dude lunged forward, barking and snarling. The black dogs began glowing green again, and as they morphed back into ghost saber-dogs, Ron cheered them on. "Booyah! Go, dogs! Do your ghost thing!" When they had fully transformed, both were only slightly smaller than the big cat. The green saber-toothed Dobermans barked and growled ferociously at the giant ghost cat, which backed up against the far wall, hissing and swiping at them.
Vlad stared at the beasts, his expression changing to surprise for the first time that night. "What? How did you get my ghost dogs down here!" he yelled angrily.
Ron leaned against one of the strange machines, grinning cockily. "Those dogs are my pals now, dude! And they're going to whup you're kitty's tail…er, I mean, tails." The machine he was leaning on suddenly tipped and went crashing to the floor. Ron stared as the wreckage for a second, then embarrassedly said, "I know a guy that can fix that!"
Vlad regained his overconfident smile and laughed mockingly (again). "Oh, please! They followed a buffoon like you? Well, they won't be following you for long." The blue-skinned ghost man held up his arm and pressed another button on the glove. A strange humming noise began emanating from it, and Naco and Dude froze abruptly. Vlad's evil grin widened. "You see? With this special emitter, I can gain the loyalty of any ghost animal. You've simply provided me with extra means for destroying you!"
Ron saw, with horror, that his beloved ghost pals were falling under Plasmius's control. He cried out, "Dude! Naco! Don't do it, guys! We're buddies!"
At the sound of Ron's voice both dogs began turning their heads back and forth in confusion. Plasmius gritted his teeth angrily and turned up the power level of the emitter. "Come to me, beasts!" he commanded. "I am you're master!"
The humming pounded through the confused ghost dogs' brains, urging them to Vlad's side, but a faint memory was trying to surface in their minds. Through the hypnotic humming, Ron's voice echoed in their ears. "Good boys…we're buddies…don't do it…I love you!"
Faint images began forming in Naco's mind: playing fetch, scarfing Mexican food, chasing a thief out of a house; always with another dog, who could only be Dude, and a blonde-haired boy. At the same moment, a face formed in both dog's minds: Ron's! The glazed look in their eyes dissolved, and the 2 saber-dogs bounded to Ron's side, yipping like happy puppies. Ron sighed with relief and laughed as they covered him in green slobber-coated licks. "I knew you guys wouldn't let me down!"
Vlad was seething with rage. "Impossible! No ghost animal can withstand my emitter's signal! How?"
Sam smiled and crossed her arms over her black shirt. "Looks like you need to get that thing checked."
Vlad glared at her, and then waved his arm at his ghost minions. "No matter, those beasts will simply have to be eliminated with the rest of you! ATTACK!" The random ghosts and giant purple cat began advancing slowly, tightening the circle around the small group of humans and ghost dogs, who prepared to fight for their lives.
A/N: Okay, that really was meant to be a cliffhanger (sorry, cliffie-haters!). Well, I think most of the major questions have been answered by now, but if you're still confused about something, please wait until I'm done to ask them, as they might be answered in future chapters. I think I'll probably make a "last-time Replies to Reviewers by Riverfox" section at the end. Hopefully no one will rat on me because of this and get my fic erased. Oh, and if ya want, my dear reviewers, you can start thinking of ideas for sequels! By sequels I mean other KP/DP crosses I could make where they have to fight, say, one of Kim's foes. (I already have a vague idea for one. Thanks, Daeron Blackoak!) Oh yes, and please review! Welp, that's all I got for now. Riverfox237 signing off!
