A/N: Well, we're gettin' near the end here. Thanks for all the positive responses, people, I'm glad you're enjoying my work! Not much to say at the moment, so let's get on w/ it!
Disclaimer: Naco, Dude, the Goo Gun, the retractable hover-scooters, the plot, and the giant neon-purple 3-tailed ghost cat are mine. Everything else is somebody elses. (Or I don't care about it enough to claim it. ;) )

Replies to Reviewers by Riverfox
charizardag: Mmm, don't be so sure you know what's gonna happen. Counting this chapter, there are 3 more chaps to this story. Here's the next chap for ya! Enjoy!
blue dream fairy: Thanks, I'm glad! Hey, cool! Going from several people's reviews, my story's now been called funny, suspenseful, and exciting! (I think there were others, but I can't remember them right now.) In my mind, that means that this has been a success! Thanks again, hope you like this chapter, too!
Grifffinrose: Oh, I'm sorry! I can explain. See, the first few reviews you sent me were about a chapter behind what I was updating. If you read the A/N at the top of Ch.3, I put in a sentence about how it was embarrassing when I update and then have someone review my story a view minutes later, and then I added an apology to you, 'cause that's kinda what happened. I did answer one of your reviews in Ch.4, though. And now I'm answering this one! As far as I can tell, I only got reviews from you for Ch.1, 2, 3, and 6. Sorry if there was some confusion. I'm really glad you like my fanfic, and again, I'm really sorry if you thought I was ignoring your reviews. Hope you like this chap, and thanks for voicing your concern. Keep reviewin'! (I promise I won't skip you again!)
Anythinggirl2004: You do? Great! Yes, Ron is rather oblivious. If you're referring to his outburst about Plasmius' name, I figured it was something Ron would do. :) Plus it sounded funny! Hope you enjoy this chap, and thanks for reviewing!
Daeron Blacloak: Yeah, you've pretty much gotten everything right. Apparantly you didn't figure out my hint w/ the dogs thing, though. That whole bit where they were able to break from the control of the emitter was because they remembered a boy who looked and sounded like Ron. Basically, they're the ghosts of the dobermans Ron's great-grandpa owned. Oh, and I never said the ghost cat was ugly, but Vlad is. Glad you're enjoying the ride! Here's Ch.7 for ya! Thanks for reviewing!
Fantastic Bouncy Girl: Yeah, Vlad's pretty annoying. Notice how I continually put the adjectives 'weasely' and 'annoying' next to what I was currently writing about him. ;) Glad ya like the chap! No, sorry, I'm no good w/ pairings, and I'm not really fond of them (no offense), so I didn't put any in. This is basically set before both "So The Drama" and some time before the DP episode "Memory Blank". Hope you like Ch. 7, and thanks for reviewing!
ron-sama: S'okay, I don't hold it against you. Thanks, glad ya liked it! Enjoy Ch. 7!
Worker72: Oh, fudge! You're right! I completely forgot about that! Man, that would have been perfect, but it's too late to add it in now! Sorry 'bout that! And actually I have seen EVERY episode of DP, but in my own defense, I haven't seen some of the older ones in a while. Also, I only remember him ever losing his pants once, in front of Paulina. Could you give me a list of episodes where he does that, to refresh my memory? Paragraph 2: Why do you insistently think that just 'cause Vlad's fighting Kim, she's gonna blow his secret on her web site? She hasn't even told Wade that Vlad and Danny are halfas! And that rouge gallery thing is only in our world, kept up by the makers of the show (and they haven't even added some of the newer villains onto it yet). I'm pretty sure Kim can pick and choose what is put on her web site in her reality. Danny doesn't want Vlad's secret blown because then Danny would lose any leverage he had against the much-more-powerful ghost man, so I'm sure Kim could keep it a secret. If Vlad DID get put on Kim's web site, he'd be known as a freak, and lose any utterly ephemeral chances he might have had of ever getting Maddie Fenton to love him, so he wouldn't want his secret blown, either. Are you satisfied now? I just wanna get that confusion out of the way. Anyways, thanks for reviewing, sorry I forgot the pants thing. Hope you like the new chap! (Wow, I think that's the longest review reply I've done yet!)
JK rulez: You won't believe this, but I just sent you a review a little earlier asking you to review this fic! Haha! Oh, irony, how I love it!Anyways, I'm so glad you like my KP/DP cross, I definitely like yours! I hope you enjoy this chap, and thanks for reviewin'! Please update your fic soon! Oh, and I see you put me on your Favs list. Thanks! I like to wait a few chapters before I add stories to my Favs list, but if yours keeps going as well as it is, you can bet it'll earn a spot really soon!
Okay, here we go! There's only a few chapters left, so I hope you guys enjoy them! On w/ the update!
Ch. 7: The Battle
Kim Possible held the Fenton Goo Gun at the ready as she studied the ghosts advancing on them. She knew Danny wouldn't be able to help them, so she needed to formulate an attack plan. The cheerleader's eyes locked onto several pieces of weaponry set on racks on the wall. One looked like a handheld laser cannon, and the other was a coiled metal whip. An idea began forming in her head.
"Ron," she said quietly, "you and your ghost dogs keep them busy. I'm gonna try to up our arsenal." Ron gave her a thumbs-up, then gave Naco a surprised look when the dog knelt on his front legs next to him.
"You want me to get on?" Ron asked excitedly. The green saber-fanged dog nodded with a smile. "Booyah!" Kim's sidekick cheered, then scrabbled clumsily onto the dog's neck.
Kim turned to Sam. "Sam, I'm gonna grab that stuff on the wall and throw the laser gun thing to you." The Goth girl nodded, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"Hey, what about me?" Tucker cried indignantly, glancing nervously at the ghosts surrounding them. He jumped when Dude suddenly nudged him from behind. A happy expression on his face, Tucker immediately accepted the silent offer and climbed onto Dude's neck. The 2 rider-bearing saber-dogs turned to the ghosts, baring their teeth in menacing snarls.
A large wolfman-like ghost jumped at Kim. The teen heroine shot it with the Goo Gun, then whipped out her hairdryer-shaped grappling hook and fired it at a beam over the weapons she wanted. Leaping up, she swung over the heads of their attackers and landed on the wall, her shoes sticking out small spikes to grip the vertical surface. Grabbing the laser cannon, Kim called out, "Sam!" and accurately tossed the weapon. Sam reached up, caught it, and instantly aimed and fired at a ghost Viking who was about to swing his ax at her. A bright pink energy beam cannoned into the ghost, sending it flying against the far wall next to the goo-covered wolfman-ghost. "Figures," she muttered. "It would be my least favorite color." Kim gave her a nod of approval, shot a green hawk out of the air with another wad of ectoplasmic goo, then grabbed the metal whip and went swinging back over to the little circle her friends were defending.
Ron, Naco, Tucker, and Dude were busy distracting the giant cat. All 3 animals bit, clawed, kicked, and shot energy beams at each other, but none were backing down. Ron and Tucker cheered their dogs on, yelling a warning whenever other ghosts tried to sneak up from behind. Sam was blasting away at every ghost that came too close, and Kim struck at them with her green-glowing whip, which seemed to electrocute any ghost it touched. She saved her gun for only the ghosts that got past their defenses, which weren't many. However, the seemingly endless horde of ghosts continued to press forward.
"I don't know how much longer we can hold them off!" Sam yelled over the din as she zapped a 2-headed bear.
"It is looking kinda bad," Kim admitted, her whip wrapping around a short ghost dressed like a plumber who cried, "Beware!" before he was thrown to the side. (Come on, you knew he'd be in there. ;) )
Vlad Plasmius floated in the air off to the side, watching the fight as he held the struggling Danny Phantom. "Well, Daniel, you're friends are determined little fighters, aren't they?" He turned to the white-haired teenager, who was pulling as hard as he could at the metal collar and glaring hatefully at Vlad. "Tell me, Danny, how does it feel knowing that I've won? You're little friends will soon be eliminated, and with you under my control, there'll be no one to stop me from getting rid of you're idiot father and retrieving the love he stole from me."
"My mom'll never love you," Danny spat back at him. "And you'll never get away with this!"
Vlad laughed maniacally. "Oh, but I will. Just look at you're friends." The small group looked as if it was about to be overwhelmed. Sam had been separated from the others and was pinned against the wall, barely holding off the ghosts with her laser cannon, which she had perched on her shoulder for balance. Kim had climbed onto the back of Ron's saber-dog, Naco, and was busily lashing her ecto-whip at any ghosts coming from behind while the boys and their dogs scrapped with the giant 3-tailed cat. Dude let out a howl of pain as the cat slashed him across the nose, and Tucker tried to burrow into Dude's green fur as more ghosts dove at them from overhead. Vlad grinned smugly at the enraged look on Danny's face. "They're all going to lose, and there's nothing you can do about it. Admit it, Daniel! You've lost!"
As the pale vampire-ish ghost-man laughed victoriously, Danny stared at the fighting scene. Helpless anger welled within him as he watched his friends barely holding off the battalion of mutant ghosts. I've got to save them, he thought frustratedly. It's my fault they're here! Sam let out a sudden gasp of pain as an ectoplasmic blast grazed her arm, and Ron yelled as Naco was cannoned into the wall by a series of enemy beam shots. Suddenly a new determination began growing in Danny's mind. His hands began to glow bright green as he gripped the collar tighter, feeling a sudden wave of power coming to him. Turning to Vlad, he began building power into his hands as he said through gritted teeth, "I won't…let you…hurt…my…friends." His body was glowing more brightly as he built up all of his strength, and suddenly his eyes turned solid green and seemed to be surrounded by a green mask of energy. Vlad tried to shock Danny back into submission, but the electricity only seemed to feed his power build-up. "And I…won't…let… you…WIN!" the ghost boy yelled, and then pulled with all his might.
A brilliant flash of green light engulfed the white-haired boy, and then it seemed to shoot through his body into his hands. A loud, electrified CRACK rent the air. For a second the energy seemed to die down, and nothing happened. Then, like a piece of fragile glass, the collar shattered into a million pieces that flew through the air. "NO!" Plasmius yelled in shock. The broken pieces of metal clattered to the floor, useless.
Danny's eyes had returned to normal white and green, but green energy was still floating around his eyes and hands. The ghost boy turned to Vlad again and, with a confident grin, swung his arm back and delivered an ecto-charged punch before his arch-nemesis could recover from his surprise. Plasmius flew backwards and slammed into the wall. That taken care of, Danny quickly turned back towards the fight and dove down to help his friends.
Kim was carefully perched on Naco's back, lashing out at the attacking ghost horde. Counting the wolfman-like ghost and the green eagle, there were only 4 ghosts plastered to the wall by Fenton Goo, but the teen heroine was trying to save her shots for fear of running out. Suddenly she was struck from behind and fell to the floor. Rolling over, she saw a large, ugly ghost monkey jumping down on top of her. She raised the Goo Gun to shoot, but before she could fire, a green energy beam blasted the creature to the side. Kim jerked her head around, and was instantly relieved to see Danny Phantom blowing ecto-smoke from his finger like movie-cowboys do to their guns after firing. "Danny!" she exclaimed. "Are you alright?"
The ghost boy paused in mid-air for a second and gave her a thumbs-up. "I'm feeling just fine," he replied, grinning. "Now let's kick some ghost tail!" The little group felt a sudden rush of confidence at this and immediately doubled their attacks against the ghost horde.
Lifting up his white-gloved hands, which still emanated a super-charged green glow, Danny clasped them together and fired. A huge green energy beam shot from his double-fist into the enemy ghosts, and Danny flew around the room, plowing a line through the crowd with the continuous beam. Both of his legs had merged together into a wispy black tail as he flew. Ghosts were slammed against the walls, and as rapidly as he could, the white-haired ghost teen sucked the group's defeated enemies into the Fenton Thermos.
While Kim held her own with the ecto-whip and Fenton Goo Gun, Sam rapidly knocked out any ghosts within range with her pink-laser-shooting hand cannon. The black-haired Goth had a cool and confident smile on her face as the enemy's lines began to thin. Suddenly something hit her in the back. The large metal gun went skidding across the floor, and Sam turned over to see a white-and-green ghost cobra sliding towards her, hissing balefully. Sam backed against the wall, her mind racing for a way out of this predicament.
Meanwhile, Rufus had been hiding behind one of the large machines that lay scattered across the floor of the large room. Peeking out, he saw Sam backed against a wall by a large snake, her gun lying several feet away. Without thinking, the brave little hairless rodent dashed out, dodging between the legs of enemy ghosts. Just as the ghost snake was about to strike, Rufus leapt onto the gun, right on top of the emergency firing button. A pink energy beam zoomed out of it at…well, light speed, obviously, straight into the side of the white-backed cobra. As the creature crashed to the floor, Sam scrambled over to her gun. She gave Rufus a smile. "Thanks, little guy." Rufus gave her his big buck-toothed smile and ran up her outstretched arm onto her shoulder. Samantha quickly propped herself up by kneeling on one knee, like she had before, and then, placing the back-end of the laser cannon on her non-Rufus-holding shoulder, began blasting away at the evil ghosts once again.
Soon most of the ghosts were down, and Danny turned his attention from the remaining ones to the dog-and-cat fight on the other side of the room. Naco and Dude were giving it all they had, their solid-red eyes glowing brighter as they shot energy beams through them at the feline. Naco was now latched onto one of its legs, digging his huge teeth in. The neon-purple ghost cat yowled in pain and, with a mighty swipe, struck the brave canine off of its leg and onto the floor. Ron scratched the whining saber-dog's fur comfortingly while Tucker and Naco faced off with the 3-tailed ghost cat. Danny had an idea, and he quickly flew done next to his techno-geek friend.
"Tucker," the ghost boy said quietly, "try to draw that cat away from the wall so I can get behind it." Tucker nodded, saying, "You got it, Danny!", then leaned forward and whispered into one of Dude's pointed ears. The ghost dog nodded it's understanding, and then carefully backed away from the cat. It watched them suspiciously. Tucker leaned around Dude's head and yelled, "Hey, you big, stupid hairball! Come and get us!", and Dude pawed at the side of his nose with a canine grin, a major insult in animal body language. The ghost cat hissed angrily, then leapt at its slightly-smaller foe, vicious claws extended.
As soon as it jumped away from the wall, Danny came out of an invisible state and zipped around behind it. Dodging the lashing purple black-striped tails, he landed on the cat's back. "Say goodbye, Kitty!" he shouted, and then the ghost-boy stuck the open end of the Fenton Thermos onto the purple ghost cat's back. The feline meowed in confusion as it felt its spectral body being sucked into the small ghost-catching container, and then, with a yowl of rage, it was gone. Danny capped the thermos and gave Tucker a high-five.
By now all of the ghosts were defeated. 9 were glued to the walls and floor by sticky, green Fenton Goo, and the rest lay moaning or unconscious, covered in black energy burns. Vlad Plasmius had recovered, and now he viewed the wreckage in angered shock. "Danny Phantom!" he yelled, fists clenched. "I can still defeat you single-handed!" The ghost man lunged towards Danny, but before he could reach the teenager, a wad of ectoplasmic gunk hit him by surprise and hurled him back against the concrete wall. Struggling vainly, he screamed, "You cannot hold me! I'll destroy you all! I'll-" Then he looked around. The white-suited, goo-covered billionaire found himself surrounded by an ecto-charged halfa, 2 girls with ghost-guns and an ecto-whip, and 2 very large saber-dogs and their teen riders. Danny had finished sucking up all of Vlad's minions, and now he floated in front of his nemesis, smirking cockily.
"Looks like you're outnumbered, Plasmius," the ghost boy taunted.
Strangely, Vlad smiled back at Danny. "Very good, Daniel. I see you've been getting stronger. You may have won this battle, but trust me: I will get you and your mother eventually."
Danny rolled his eyes. "Right; like I'd ever trust you."
Vlad smirked at that. Then his body glowed a bright green, and suddenly the Fenton Goo shattered like dry clay. Before anyone could stop him, Plasmius pulled a remote out of his belt and pressed the red button on it. A red light began flashing from the ceiling, accompanied by a loud, blaring alarm, and a mechanical female voice said, "Self-Destruct in 5 minutes." Plasmius smirked triumphantly. "Well, ta-ta for now. I'm sure we'll meet again." With that, he phased through the wall, leaving the teenagers to their current life-threatening problem.
Kim groaned in annoyance. "Why does the villain's lair always have to blow up?" she muttered.
Tucker slid off of Dude's back and ran to the transportation device. Checking the readings, he called over the blaring warnings, "I think we just have to activate this thing to send the Ghost Portal back!"
Kim yelled back, "Then do it, quick!" Tucker instantly pressed one of the large buttons. There was a flash of blue light, and then the portal was gone.
"Now what?" Tucker yelled, near panic. "If we don't get out of here fast, we're all gonna fry!"
Kim ran to the machine. Pulling out the Kimmunicator, she turned it on. Wade's face instantly appeared, and he calmly asked, "What's up, Kim?"
"Wade, we're in a lab that's about to blow up and we need to get out fast. Can you rig this transportation device to send us to the Fentons' lab? It's what Vlad Masters used to steal the Fenton Portal in the first place."
"Sure, jack me in," the 10-year-old genius replied. Pulling a cord out of the bottom of the blue Kimmunicator, Kim plugged it into the ray-gun-shaped machine. Wade began typing furiously on his computer. A minute later he said, "Done! Get everyone in front of the machine. I've set it to activate in 15 seconds."
Kim quickly told everyone to get on the spot where the portal had been. Soon 2 girls, 2 boys, 1 halfa, 1 naked mole rat, and 2 now-normal-sized black Dobermans were packed together on the spot. "Okay, Wade, we're all ready," Kim told the boy on her gadget's screen.
"Okay, here goes," he replied, somewhat nervously. "3…2…1…" Kim clamped her eyes shut as they were engulfed in the blinding blue light, hoping desperately that this would work.
