The Trial of Danny Phantom

Hi readers. Were near the end now, just one more chapter left. It's been quite the ride, I would like to thank my loyal reviewers Pokemonfan1991, Simm36 and Pedro Alonso Buby Huayanay Zamudio. You guys have been here from the beginning and I appreciate you staying until the end.

Looking back now, I realize there's another thing I could have done to make this story better. For one thing I wish I could have had Danny meet the guardians and maybe fight against them a bit before the confrontation with Lum. I knew it's cliche to have two superheroes fight over a misunderstanding, but I feel like it was an opportunity missed.

I also think I might have gone too fast with Danny and Lita's relationship, but I had to make ten days of the mushroom crisis work.

I also kinda regret saying Makoto also goes by Lita. I mainly did that because that's what she also goes by in the "Many Dates" series by Flowerprincess11 and related stories, but it just caused confusion with her name.

I've also been told I have choppy writing, I apologize for that too.

I would like you all to tell me what you liked about the story, what you didn't like, and how it could have been improved.

Thank you and happy reading. After i'm done with this I will be working with fellow fanfic writer Luiz4200 to write a short Danny Phantom story, so keep an eye out.


"Hey, I think he's starting to wake up!"

"Danny-Kun!"

"Hey, kid. You ok?"

"Jazz's brother, you not dead?"

Those are the first things Danny hear's as he starts to regain consciousness. The first thing he sees is darkness, then a blurry vision as he opens his eyes and then the concerned faces of Makoto "Lita" Kino and his sister Jazz staring at him. Behind them is Lum, Ataru and the Sailor Guardians.

"Danny!"

Jazz shouts as she sees him coming to consciousness.

"Danny-Kun we're glad you're awake!" Lita cries. "But, we're sorry you have to wake up like this."

"What are you-"

Danny tries to reach out to them, but he can't move his arms. He then realizes that he's restrained up to his shoulders in a glowing green thread like the Wraith Wrangler.

"Hey, what the-"

As Danny tries to wiggle free he finally notices that the others are stuck in a cage (that has a birds head on the top for some reason) and he himself is dangling by the rope from a tree. He looks around and notices he is in a strange field with a yellow sky. He is astounded. Then he turns around and sees Inaba dangling by his foot next to him.

"Hey Danny. Nice job destroying the device." Inaba tells him.

"Silence Inaba! Glad you can join us Mr. Fenton."

Danny turns to see who said that, and his eyes widen in shock. He sees several rabbits the size of men sitting at a long table facing them.

"Now we can begin the trial." The rabbit in the center says.

"No, we're still waiting for the representatives to get here." Another rabbit tells him.

"I don't even know why they have to be here, this is our turf!"

"Well it's not theirs!" Another rabbit says pointing at Danny and the guardians.

Even with all the weird things he's seen in Tomobiki, let alone his whole life, Danny couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"Uh guys." Danny says. "I think I've lost it, I'm seeing talking rabbits."

"No, they are real." Lum says.

Everyone in the cage except Lum and Ataru flares at Inaba.

"Do you want to tell Danny, or shall I?" Jazz asks.

Inaba sighs.

"Danny you're in Sub-Space." Inaba tells him. "This is the Destiny Production Management Bureau. They decide the fates of every living being in the universe. And we're on trial because you kinda…we're never supposed to come to Tomobiki. Also I may have, sorta, pulled some strings to help you beat the device."

"Destiny production bureau, what?" Danny says flabbergasted, the idea of a bunch of anthropomorphic rabbits controlling people's destinies was ludicrous even to him.

"Yes," Inaba says. "And I'm sort of an apprentice. Sorry for lying about working in a mall. Oh by the way as someone who watches time and space I know about all your superhero exploits! I'm so glad I can tell you that now I'm a huge fan, can I get your autograph!?"

"Wait hold on!" Danny snaps then turns to the rabbits. "If you guys control people's destinies then were you guys responsible for Dan Phantom?" He asks furiously. "Did you decide it was my destiny to turn into a monster and destroy the world!?"

"Your fate, Daniel Fenton, was to die." The lead rabbit says bluntly and a bit critically. "Die at the hands of the physical embodiment of your ghost powers merged with your arch enemies. And by the way, you were cowering in a corner like a little baby. And the whole reason the events leading up to Dan's creation was meant to happen for the sole purpose of creating an interesting story line where you fight him and keep it from happening in the first place. So no, it wasn't truly your intended fate. And second, no, as soon as you became a half ghost you fell out of our jurisdiction and into Clockworks. All we did was ensure that no one who could have stopped Dans rampage was not allowed to fit the sake of YOUR story."

The lead rabbit snaps his fingers and a screen appears.

"We came up with a few different ideas on how Dan Phantom could have been defeated. For starters we could have ensured that Exodus fights him to the death. Or maybe Pandora sucks him into her box. And then we thought of a few people in Japan that could have defeated him if they were lucky and smart enough."

It shows a clip of Dan engaging the Sailor Guardians. Then the Sailor guardians look pretty beaten, likely from fighting Dan before, but they use the Prism attack and Dan is unable to fight back with either his blasts or wail. He is unable to escape as the energy of the attack draws him in, and all he can do is scream as the orb of energy the guardians generate disintegrates him.

Another clip shows Sakura and Lisa Fukuyama banding together to banish Dan to the netherworld through a black hole-like portal.

The next clip shows Dan being knocked around faster than he can react by two vampires, a boy and a girl with white hair (Tsukune Aono and Moka Akashiya) before they punch him together at once. The entire time, they are engulfed in their demonic aura's to keep him from phasing away. As they punch him they utilize their "creation" ability to generate an explosion which destroys Dan.

Then finally a clip where Dan has been reduced to a puddle of ectoplasm, and Chizuru Aizawa standing in the middle, wiping off a ecto-knife on her ectoplasm stained shirt.

Danny is baffled.

"Course all of our suggestions were rejected. For the plot of the story to work Dan needed to last long enough to get the observer's attention. So we had the Japanese government have the idea to make a deal with the only people they could think of to protect their country. And their country alone."

The screen shows officials from the Japanese government meeting with Lum and her parents. Then many Oni ships collect a massive skull-shaped ectoranium meteorite, plugging it into one of their ships, the ships are positioned over Japan, and they create a net-like force field around all of Japan made entirely of ectoranium energy and also with Ofuda symbols on the outside. Dan is unable to break in. Every attack either gets disintegrated, the ships redirect it back at him, even the ghostly wail. Dan just gives up and flies away grumbling that Amity Park will be less protected.

"-the shield was put up around the same time you girls lost your memories after beating Metalia." The lead rabbit says looking at the Sailor Guardians. "And the Oni evacuated all unregulated aliens from the country so in that time line you never remembered who you were. At the same time otherworldly threats weren't able to get through so you got to live safe normal lives."

The Sailor Guardians think about that, safe normal lives. It sounded good, but they feared not knowing each other as a trade off. They didn't want that.

"Ok, so why are we in trouble then?" Danny asks sarcastically. "If everything we do is part of your grand plan?"

"That's the thing Daniel," The lead rabbit says. "You, Jazz and your parents, you were never supposed to come too Tomobiki!"

"Wait, what?" Jazz asks.

"That's right, we had a plan for Tomobiki and you weren't supposed to be in it. Since you came along we have been working tirelessly these last ten days making sure that, at the very least, the main plot points occur despite the intervention of a ghost superhero!"

"Wait, is that why I suddenly got ideas for new gadgets?" Lum asks.

"Yes, we ensured that you would think to ghost proof your tech so Daniel couldn't beat you and make you stop your game." The lead rabbit admits. "Just as we ensured that any time you or Ataru thought about giving up, we created a near future for you where you continue it anyways."

Ataru and Lum stare wide eyed at the rabbit while everyone else turns to them in shock.

"Wait, you WANTED them to endanger the world!?" Danny shouts furiously.

"The world was never in danger." The lead rabbit says matter-of-factly. "Lum was intended to let Ataru grab her horns on the final day, the device would have shut off on its own, and then that would have been that." He glares and points to Danny. "But YOU destroyed the device!" He points to Inaba. "YOU created the future where he defeats the device!"

"Wait hold on, I beat the device using a power boost I got from, I dunno, the city's soul or something." Danny says.

"What?" Jazz asks.

"Just go with it." Lum tells her.

"Uh, yes." Inaba says. "I created a door where you beat the device thanks to a power up, and it caused a ripple down the timeline that influenced Tomobiki-Cho to contact you."

"You went against your bosses to help me?" Danny says surprised.

"I told you, you're my favorite hero. I hated seeing you struggle like that."

"YOU WENT AGAINST DESTINY!" The lead rabbit shouts. Then he turns to Jazz furiously. "Inaba's machinations and your brother's power ended up creating a creature that almost destroyed the world. And if this three things weren't bad enough, its because of YOU that Ataru told Lum he LOVES HER!"

"Now hold up, when did I do that?" Ataru says blushing.

Lum playfully jabs him with her elbow.

"You told me that when you saw the dark cloud, Darling." Lum says happily.

"Yes, I remember hearing it." Sailor Jupiter says. "Girls?"

All the sailor guardians agree. Ataru pouts but Lum kisses him on the cheek. He immediately smiles.

"YOU SEE!?" The lead rabbit shouts at Jazz while pointing at Lum and Ataru. "Look what you did to them!"

"Make them confess their feelings and grow closer as a couple?" Jazz asks skeptically.

"EXACTLY!" The lead rabbit shouts. "They are Lum and Ataru! They weren't supposed to end that event on a happy note, they were supposed to be as dysfunctional as always! And that was to also leave room for one final adventure for us to orchestrate for them! An alien princess was going to coerce Ataru into getting a love potion for her by offering him a kiss. Now that Ataru's said he loves Lum that ruins that entire plot!" The lead rabbit shouts. "Now we have to scrap the whole project and, I dunno, just have the princess and the Tofu seller confess their feelings normally."

"Oh, I feel so ashamed." Jazz says sarcastically.

"Wait, you were going to have a princess, try to use a love potion, on a tofu seller?" Sailor Mars asks.

"Yes, why?"

"Oh nothing, just most people would expect the opposite to happen."

"Hold on, what makes you think you have the right to mess with people's day to day loves like that!?" Danny shouts.

"All will become clear when the trial starts."

A door appears out of nowhere and it opens, revealing a tall woman, dressed like the Sailor Guardians, with long green hair wielding a staff. The Sailor Guardians stare at her shocked.

"Consider it started." The woman says.

"Not yet." Says a rabbit.

A rabbit at the far end of the table stands up and speaks.

"Presenting, Sailor Pluto, representative of the Sailor Guardians and keeper of the time door."

Sailor Pluto glances at the dumbfound Sailor Guardians before taking her seat.

A ghost portal opens up and out steps a ghost in a purple cloak, a glass door with a pendulum inside and changing from an adult, to an old man, to an infant, then an adult again.

"Clockwork!" Danny shouts, glad that he's here.

The announcer rabbit announces him.

"Presenting, Clockwork, the ghost master of time and overseer of the destinies of all ghosts in the universe."

"Friend of yours?" Sailor Moon asks Danny.

"Yeah."

"Don't worry Danny, I'll get you out of this." Clockwork flies over to the rabbits.

"Took you long enough to get here." The lead rabbit says, unhappy to see him.

"You call this a trial?" Clockwork asks. "Where's the jury?"

"Their guilt is determined, this is merely a sentencing." The lead rabbit says.

A door suddenly opens up followed by Shinobu, bursting out of it, wearing a playboy bunny suit. The literal bird-cage screams in fear seeing her, remembering how Sinobu bent its bars last time she was here. The girls (besides Lum) are shocked at her apparent clothing choice. Danny's jaw drops and he blushes at the sight. Mamoru tries not to stare. Ataru is also grinning but stops when Lum elbows him in the ribs while Inaba just smiles.

"Sinobu!" Inaba cries happily. "You're here!"

"You again!?" The lead rabbit asks.

"Give me back my boyfriend!" Sinobu shouts.

Ran, Benten, Sakura, Rei, Oyuki and Ryuunosuke jump out from behind her with weapons. Then jump Jack and Maddie Fenton.

"Release our kids!" Jack shouts pointing his ghost lazer at the rabbits.

"I'm warning you, I used to hunt rabbits with my dad and sister." Maddie says pointing her own gun at them.

"Mom, dad?" Danny asks.

His parents turn to him.

"Danny, we know you're the ghost boy." Jack says. "Sakura told us when we went looking for you and Jazz then she brought us to Sinobu who brought us here."

"We will have a long talk later but for now let's show these oversized rodents what happens when you mess with the Fentons." Maddie says glaring at the rabbits.

"How did you get here? Also, why are you in a bunny suit?" Jazz asks.

"Inaba gave it to me!" Sinobu shouts.

Lum turns to Jazz, Danny and the confused guardians and explains.

"Like Inaba's rabbit costume, the playboy bunny suits allow her to transverse Sun-Space."

Jazz looks at Inaba critically.

"And why a playboy suit, exactly?" She asks.

"That's just how the girl suits are designed." Inaba says innocently. "I asked the bosses why they aren't just regular rabbit costumes like mine and other guys but they just told me to 'think about it.' Whatever that means."

Now all the girls, Mamoru, Danny, as well as Clockwork and Sailor Pluto look skeptically at the rabbits.

"Shall we begin the trial?" The lead rabbit asks before turning to the rescue party. "And you all…glad you could make it." He says trying to spin this in his favor. "What's a fair trial without a jury of the defendant's peers?"

The lead rabbit claps his hands and a jury stand appears. They all glare at him skeptically.

"Look, you have a better chance of walking out of here with your kids if you just go along with it." The lead rabbit says.

"As soon as you move against my boy I'm blasting our way out of here." Maddie says as she and the others begrudgingly take their seats.

"Alright then. Before we begin, there's something I need to do first." Clockwork says.

He opens a portal and everyone just sees dark purple smoke.

"What is that?" Sailor Jupiter asks.

"It's the inside of that cloud creature you all helped destroy, just before it was destroyed." Clockwork explains.

He then takes out a Fenton Thermos, the one that Jack and Maddie recognized as the advanced thermos that their son asked them to make for him. Clockwork throws it through the portal and it closes.

"Ok now, or rather then…the creature eats through the metal. The contents are released. The contents quickly are drained of energy and devoured by the creature and whatever's lift of both are destroyed by the ectoranium lightning sent into it." Clockwork smiles at Danny. "He's gone."

Danny's eyes widened in joyous shock. Was it true? Dan Phantom is now truly gone?

"Now that we have everything all set up, shall you explain to the jury why we're here as you did to the defendants a while ago?" Clockwork asks the rabbits.

Fifteen minutes later, the rabbits explained the situation to the jury. Many of them were furious that the rabbits had essentially been responsible for everything crazy that's happened from Lum coming to earth until now. Benten and Oyuki turn to Lum who apologizes sincerely to them for everything she's done lately, they forgave her knowing some of the decisions she's made were influenced by "destiny".

The rabbits then go on to explain what was supposed to happen and how Inaba, Danny and Jazz's actions had prevented it.

"You were going to have someone drug a boy into loving her!?" Maddie shouts outraged.

"Not drugs, it's a love potion." Says the rabbit. "And besides it wasn't actually gonna happen, Ataru would have drank it all, fallen for her, Lum would cure him and Lupica and Rio would have confessed to each other. While also destroying parts of the city in the process. But now that won't happen thanks to your daughter!"

"I regret nothing!" Jazz shouts.

Sakura stands up.

"Your honors." She says. "Yes, based on what you have told us there is no doubt that the Fentons actions have charged destiny from what you planned. But I think instead of taking it out on them you should find out WHY they were even allowed to intervene in the first place."

Jack stands up.

"Listen rabbits, Danny didn't even wanna come to Tomobiki. This family trip was my idea. I'm responsible for your plan not working out so punish me instead."

Now Maddie stands up.

"No, I was the one who theorized that the legendary Japanese Yokai were kinds of ghosts. A theory that wasn't even true. So punish me."

"No Maddie, this is my fault." Says Jack.

"I can handle a bunch of rabbits Jack, you need to go back to Amity Park with the kids."

Jack and Maddie argue back and forth on who should take the fall for their kids. Lum watches them with a bit of envy wondering if she and her darling will ever be like that. True love was right there. Ryuunosuke was also looking at Jazz and Danny enviously, wishing she had parents who cared for her like that. Lita as well. Clockwork stands up.

"Enough!" Clockwork shouts.

The couple stops arguing and everyone turns to Clockwork.

"I'm responsible for this." Clockwork says.

"What?" Danny asks.

"WHAT!?" The lead rabbit shouts.

"I visited Mr and Mrs. Fenton a few days before they planned the trip to Tomobiki and whispered to them that they should try ghost hunting in Japan." Clockwork admits. "I did it because I knew they would go to Tomobiki right in time for the mushroom crisis."

"C-Clockwork?" Danny gasps in shock.

"I'm sorry Danny."

The lead rabbit bangs his hands on the table and glares at Clockwork.

"I should have known! You've always been too lenient with the rules. But why!?"

"You know why." Clockwork says.

The screen turns back on and what it shows shocks and horrified everyone that is not a rabbit, a time-ghost or who guards the time door. It shows a gigantic creature, taller than a skyscraper, that looks like a cross between an insect and a xenomorph with tentacles rampaging through a city and destroying everything in its path.

"GOD! WHAT THE HECK IS THAT THING!?" Jazz shouts.

"Is it an alien?" Ataru asks Lum who shakes her head.

"Is it from the black moon clan? A remnant of the dark kingdom?" Sailor Moon asks Sailor Pluto but she shakes her head and her eyes fall to Sailor Mars and Danny.

Sailor Mars had recognized the creature from her studies of magic and Danny recognized it from when he was captured by Ryoko Mendo. Both were horrified.

"Alucard…" Danny says in shock.

"What?" Sinobu asks.

"Alucard was a monster that tried to wipe out all humans on the planet." Sailor Pluto says. "He was defeated by three powerful yokai and placed in hibernation. However, a month or two from now, Alucard will awaken again."

"What!?" Danny and Mars shout at once.

"Don't worry." The lead rabbit says. "The city has already been evacuated by this time. We've also selected a group that will defeat Alucard when he awakens. They are training for it now."

The screen shows a girl with wings (a siren) facing Alucard. She sings a song and his tentacles burst. Then it shows two humanoid monsters throwing punches at the kaiju together with enough force to knock it around. Then it shows two vampires, a boy and a girl, flying at Alucard with such speed and strength that they punch a hole on the monster's chest. Then they proceed to blast it to bits with a series of generated explosions. Everyone watches in astonishment.

"Impressive." Sakura says in awe.

"I wanna see that movie!" Ataru shouts.

"Such incredible creatures." Maddie gaps.

"I recognize two of them." Sailor mars says. "The ones who were knocking Alucard around were two of the three dark lords who originally sealed Alucard away."

Clockwork rewinds the screen to show the two young vampires again.

"The boy is Tsukune Aono. He was born human but became an alpha vampire after receiving repeated blood injections from his girlfriend, and having the blood synchronized with his own through a holy lock. His girlfriend, the other vampire, is Moka Akashiya." Clockwork turns to Mars then Danny. "Akasha Bloodriver's daughter."

Danny and Mars' eyes widen hearing that. They had heard that Akasha sacrificed herself to stop Alucard long ago. Clockwork continues.

"Yes, a decade ago Akasha was temporarily freed from Alucard and had a daughter. Unfortunately she had to reseal herself inside Alucard to keep him from reawakening."

"Only for him to wake up anyways." Danny says bitterly.

"At Least her daughter kills the monster." Benten tells him.

"Yeah…not quite."

Clockwork shows footage of Alucard, though blown to smithereens, piecing himself back together as a monstrous mass of flesh.

Everyone stares horrified.

"It…it was blasted to bits and reformed…" Jazz stammers.

"How the heck do you destroy that?" Danny asks worriedly.

"Like this." Clockwork says.

The screen shows A man/vampire with dark hair that is seemingly merged with Alucard at the top.

"That's Miyabi Fujisaki. Before Alucard was sealed away the first time, he released a small piece of himself that contained his intelligence that took the form of what he used to look like before he started absorbing other monsters to turn into…that." Sailor Pluto explains.

The screen shows Tsukune fighting through a mass of tentacles despite an injury to place a rosary onto Miyabi's chest. Miyabi's flesh suddenly bursts and Akasha Bloodriver forms from his body. Many watching are disturbed by the sight, but a few are caught off guard by Akaha's beauty.

"G-god…" Mamoru says in utter shock.

The scene shows Akasha singing a chant along with the other two dark lords. They and Alucard disappear in a flash of light, leaving Tsukune and Moka crying over her death. Everyone looks at the pair sadly.

"Is there anything we can do?" Usagi asks.

"No." Says Sailor Pluto. "This has to be their fight."

"This event will expose yokai to the world." Clockwork says.

"And from this point forward, Tsukune and Moka will work together to unite the human and monster worlds." Says the lead rabbit.

"I'm sorry, but the knowledge that there was a giant monster that wanted to kill all humans will terrify people enough, Alucard has to be beaten by a task force composed of monsters to create a balance and allow for some humans to consider co-existence." Pluto says.

The Sailor guardians nod in sad acknowledgment.

"I'm a ghost. Maybe I can help." Danny says.

Clockwork gestures to the screen again and it shows Dan Phantom engaging Alucard. Possibly in some alternate timeline. Dan avoids the kanji fearfully as he dodges swipes of his massive arms. Dan tries using his ghostly wail and echo blasts on the creature, all it does is irritate him. At most his attacks are only able to keep back the tentacles or destroy a few. But Alucards demonic aura keeps him from doing any serious damage. Dan is too focused fighting the tentacles coming at him he doesn't see one sneaking behind his back. It turns on its demonic aura and stabs Dan from the back through his chest. Dan gasps and coughs up some ectoplasm before the tentacle absorbs him.

"Ok never mind." Danny says.

"Uh, who was that?" Jack asks his wife, who doesn't know either.

"I'll explain later." Jazz tells them.

"Moving on." Clockwork says. "In addition to his kanji form, Alucard also spent the last few centuries laying eggs.-"

The screen shows various human cities being attacked by other gigantic monsters which cause destruction and devour humans. To everyone's horror.

"-Atleast one is in the monster world, others are in the Japanese cities of Sapporo, Morioka, Tokyo, Kyoto, Nagasaki and Hiroshima."

"Wait…" Lum says. "Those are all the cities that my ships had to lose weight in."

Danny looks at her with an eyebrow raised.

"You had to what?"

"Oh, after you showed me that people outside of Tomobiki are capable of being, you know….injured I had the pigs clean up some of the mushrooms."

"Oh, yeah I know that."

"But during the process a lot of the pigs got so full they needed to rest on ships from my parents' fleet. They got weighed down and a lot of the crew members ended up dumping some of their machines. These were at the same exact cities Mr. Clockwork just mentioned."

"And I made sure that would happen." Clockwork says.

"You sent me to that crazy city, had me fight a device that was never going to go off, just so Lum would end up dumping her junk in different places?" Danny asks on the verge of anger.

"It was for good reason, Danny."

Clockwork turns to Ataru and Lum.

"Lum, Ataru, do either of you remember the time you went to a carnival and a magician transformed Ataru into a pink hippo?" Clockwork asks.

Everyone stares at Ataru and Lum, but the couple just look confused. Ataru scratches his head and when he turns to Lum she gives him the "beats me"shrug.

"Uh….no." Ataru says.

"That's because it was one of those events that we make sure happens for the purpose of making sure it doesn't happen through time travel shenanigans." The lead rabbit says.

"Like Dan Phantom." Another rabbit says to Danny, who glares at him.

"Anyways, in that aborted timeline Lum ended up disappearing from Tomobiki and every other alien ended up leaving. It had quite the impact on the city." Clockwork says.

"What? It was safer?" Danny deadpans.

"Well, there was less city property destruction, but also this..."

Clockwork motions to the screen again. It shows Sinobu trying to lift a desk and it being too heavy for her. Just about everyone in the jury and held captive sits up and gawks at the sight.

"What!?" Sinobu shouts. "How did that happen to me!? I'm so weak!"

"Ryuunosuke, Sinobu, Sakura and Ataru. Think for a moment." Clockwork asks. "Your super strength, your durability, your speed, did any of you possess these traits before?"

They all turn and look at each other. They think back to their pasts, rub their necks and shrug. The ones in the jury whisper to each other then speak.

"Uh, not as much." Sinobu says.

"I thought they got super powers throughs eh ANME-Gene?" Danny asks.

"They do." The lead rabbit says. "Just about everyone in Japan has the ANME-Gene. And it grants abilities to varying degrees based on the individual. However, in most cases the gene is recessive or it works at a lower level than others. However, Oniboshi residents and technology, which includes from Oni themselves or from their subgroups Gods of Luck and Succubi, release a radiation that activates the gene in carriers and amplifies them."

Lum, Benten and Ran widen their eyes. They were genuinely surprised to hear this.

"Wait, you're saying that Lum's the reason I'm super strong?" Sinobu asks.

"Why I am really fast?" Ataru asks.

"Exactly." The lead rabbit says "Believe it or not, but since Lum has come to Tomobiki there has been a great decrease of average deaths associated with injury."

Danny couldn't believe what he was hearing. At this point he wasn't sure he could even completely blame Lum for the craziness she's caused in Tomobiki given the revelation that most of it was the rabbit's machinations.

"And that's why I wanted to spread that radiation to those cities." Clockwork says. "The effects will last a few months for the cities populous. More than enough time for the eggs to hatch and then die when Alucard is destroyed. In fact, the number of human deaths from Alucards awakening should be reduced to practically none. Which in turn will allow Tsukune and Moka to achieve their goal much easier. Thank you Danny and Lum."

"So that's why you brought me there." Danny says a little disappointed. "So I could indirectly help someone else out."

"Not just Tsukune Danny." Clockwork says. "Both you and Jazz have helped Tomobiki more than either of you know."

"How?" Danny asks.

Clockwork smiles.

"Well, we all agree that the story of the princess trying to get a love potion is morally wrong, right?" Clockwork asks the jury.

All of them agree, even though Ran had considered using it on Rei the looks from the others pulled her away from those thoughts.

"More so, Danny, you helped Lum reflect a lot on herself with you calling her out on her selfishness and callousness. If not for the Bureau she would have ended the game many times over."

Lum looks down.

"And thanks to you, the demon of good luck has been freed of his bond to the Mendo family. The worst members have gotten what they deserve and their influence on Japan has been broken because of your actions."

Danny smiles proudly at that, thinking about how crazy Shutaro and how scary his sister Ryoko were.

"And though the machine would have deactivated without your interference, you destroying it allowed Lum and Ataru to confess their feelings in a healthier way."

"Woah, who said I confessed?" Ataru says defensively.

"You said you love me." Lum teases.

"That's what I heard." Sailor Jupiter says.

Everyone else voices their conformations. Ataru grunts and Lum kisses him on the cheek. Ataru smiles and blushes. Clockwork watches those two proudly, now the possible future he had seen where they get married was practically set in stone. What's more is that their descendant Ruu was more likely to be born now, and though he would get into some time travel shenanigans in his youth he would grow to be one of the greatest heroes of that era of the new silver millennium.

"While Danny got through to Lum, Jazz also got through to Ataru. You helped him see himself and showed the girls of Tomobiki there are better ways of dealing with idiots. It's because of you he was finally able to confess. Unlike that awful intended ending where they get chased by an angry mob for still being stubborn."

Jazz smiles at Ataru, proud of him for making the right choice for him and Lum. Ataru smiles back at her. He knows she, directly or not, led him here, and he knows that if not for her (and not for the way she did it) he wouldn't have grown as much as he did. He is sincerely grateful for that.

"Danny, Jupiter, while Rupa would have still asked Carla to be his queen, you helped him do it the right way."

Danny and Sailor Jupiter smile at each other proudly.

"And Jazz, without you some people never would have found the resolve to make a better life for themselves."

Clockwork turns to Ryuunosuke who averts her eyes. She knows it was true, without Jazz she would have probably stayed with her horrible father forever. Now she had a chance at a better life.

"And some would have continued down their dark path never realizing they needed help."

Clockwork turns to Ran, who wordlessly nods.

"So, yes I did go against destiny." Clockwork says. "I admit it, I knew what was supposed to happen but I chose to manipulate Danny and his family into changing things for what I believed was better. So, please leave everyone else out of this." He looks at all the Fentons. "I'm sorry, but I thought this was the best choice."

Jack, Maddie and Jazz don't know what to say. They aren't mad that they came to Tomobiki, they had learned a lot, helped people and made some new friends. But they didn't like the idea of being used, least of all by a ghost. Danny just sighs, "Clockwork I cant say im happy about being used like this. But I accept your reasoning." Danny says.

"Well I dont." Says the lead rabbit. "I wills definitely enact justice on you Clockwork, but the Fenton siblings made their choices out of free will and I will certainly have him erased!"

"Boss please…" Inaba pleads.

"No! You should have been erased a long time ago." The lead rabbit says.

"Now hold on a second! What make scout think you can just mess with people's day to day lives like that!?"

"Yeah and why allow Alucard to even exist in the first place?" Jazz asks.

"Our job is to create a variety of different possible destinies for individuals to reach." The lead rabbit says. "Some are better than others, but we create them based on their lives, personalities and the choices they would logically make based on who they are. It is them that ultimately chooses which destiny occurs from the decisions they make in the present." The lead rabbit turns to Inaba. "For example, aren't you curious why Inaba is a human in a rabbit suit but we are not? He came from a possible future where his mother and father married and had him, and they would have had they made those choices. But instead they both chose different paths that resulted in them settling down with others allowing a different door of destiny to be set in stone. So his door and the others hereto be discarded-"

Inaba saddens upon being reminded of this, how the timeline he came from no longer exists and how his parents are/will be married to different people and not even know him. Everyone stares at Inaba with shock and sympathy while Sinobu, who had already known, just tries to give him a comforting smile.

"-However, higher-up saw potential and told us to give him a job under us instead." The lead rabbit clears his throat. "Anyways, that's our job, normally, but as for what we've done to Tomobiki the last few years that wasn't our choice."

The jury and the captives look at them confused.

"What do you mean, not your choice?" Sakura asks.

"Normally we all just let people's daily lives happen as they happen." The lead rabbit says gesturing to his kin and the other time-keepers. "But then one day we got orders from higher up. They said that they had interest in Tomobiki and ordered us to ensure that a series of wacky events occurred. Honestly, for entertainment purposes-"

Danny flinches in anger. Not for the rabbits, but for whoever is higher than them.

"We first started it by having the Oni come to earth and end the tag game with Lum misinterpreting what Ataru said as a proposal. A funny episode, if you will. That was what we were told to make happen. After that we were just supposed to have Ataru get involved with a bunch of different supernatural occurrences with Sinobu as the love interest, we even created a possible future where they married and had a son for when we were done with them-"

Sinobu flinches in disgust. Ataru gives her a teasing smile but stops before Lum see's him. Lum glares at Sinobu and gives her an "i'm watching you" motion. Inaba also looks uncomfortable.

"-But then higher up said that they really liked Lum so we brought her back with that space-taxi incident and we have included her in the craziness ever since. Sometimes we made her cause the craziness, other times we made her help out of it. Then we introduced Mendo." The lead rabbit looks at Sinobu. "You falling for him and leaving Ataru was all you. As was you falling for Inaba.-"

Sinobu feels more comfortable hearing this. As does Lum.

"-Anyways, it was just going to keep going as long as we kept getting orders. After the love potion incident we would have been done with Tomobiki, ok?" The lead rabbit says.

"Alright then, I want to talk to your boss then." Danny says seriously. "Where is he?"

A light shines down from above. Then a voice like thunder calls out that shakes the realm.

"That would be me."

Everyone looks up and they see a being flat down from the light. It is shaped like a man, except that he seems entirely composed of television static and he has wings (imagine Tabuu from Super Smash Bros but made of static). The entity floats down and joins the time-keepers while all the mortals look at him surprised. Jack raises his blaster at it but Maddie lowers his hand. Despite this, with a blink of his eyes the couple's blasters glitch and disappear from existence. The entity wasn't even looking at them.

The time-keepers bow before the entity as it floats up to the caged heroes.

Danny stares at it. He is getting a completely different vibe from when he faced the Memories of Tomobiki entity. He considered the former to be a god of sorts, elemental, supernatural, but this thing was completely different. It was extra dimensional, and the way these masters of time seem to bow before it, Danny would guess that its power goes beyond them. That it could warp the very fabric of existence itself.

"A-Are you god?" Danny asks. "I am the embodiment of the desires of the beings beyond the fourth dimension." The entity says, mouth not even moving. "Call me, Status Quo."

"So…god then?" Ataru says.

"You're the ones who have been telling the rabbits to make Lum and Ataru almost destroy the world once a week?" Danny asks skeptically.

"We exist in the third dimension." Status Quo says. "Beyond that are beings that are responsible for this world. They created all that is and they watch it progress. Most of the time, they let things happen on their own, but sometimes, when they see potential, they ensure that certain events happen to make the world they observe more exciting."

"Why?"

"Entertainment mostly." Status Quo says. "Think of them as producers of a television show and we're characters in a cartoon."

"But we're not!" Sailor Moon protests.

"From YOUR perspective you aren't, no." Status Quo says. "But to them all of us, including the Destiny Bureau are. I am simply the embodiment of their wishes and I instruct them to ensure that certain things occur as they desire them too." He says, gesturing to the time-keepers.

"You allow them to push us around for fun?" Danny asks, irritated.

"They have complete control over this reality, if they don't like it they can easily end it." Status Quo says. "If you wanna be mad at someone, then be mad at Rumiko Takahashi, Naoko Takeuchi, Akihisa Ikeda and Butch Hartman."

"Hold on, you said that you were instructing Clockwork and Sailor Pluto to do things too?" Jazz asks.

The Sailor Guardians and Danny turn to their respective time-keepers (Sailor Pluto and Clockwork) who look guilty then back to Status Quo.

"Hey, she's right." Sailor Moon says. "What do you mean?"

"Let me ask you something Danny?" Status Quo starts. "Remember when your ice powers first manifested?"

"Yeah, just in time because if they hadn't then Undergrowth would have made the whole world a jungle."

"Clockwork ensured that you would develop that ability just in time so you could beat him. On my orders on behalf of the ones beyond."

Danny turns to Clockwork shocked who looks guilty.

"Also, remember when you thought Vlad made a deal with the Fright Knight?" Status Quo asks. "And yet you haven't seen them together since? Even though you figured Vlad took the crown of fire? That story arc was abandoned, partly because the person on the other side who had the idea of what to do with it left and we made sure their partnership was erased on the others behalf. Just like how we ensured that Freakshow would get the Reality Gauntlet and you would figure out how to beat him. And your parents found out about your powers and they accepted you, yet for some reason, despite now they certainly wouldn't be shooting at you after that anymore, you still chose to erase their memories-"

"Wait hold on, what?" Jack asks, shocked.

Status Quo continues.

"Him thinking to do that was my doing, because you two aren't supposed to know and I had to keep that plot point continuous. We also ensured that your parents would develop that exosuit around the time we knew you would have to face Pariah Dark. Oh, and what about the time you sought to prevent your arch enemy from getting ghost powers? Don't you think Clockwork couldn't have just told you that it was a bad idea instead of letting you screw up the timeline before undoing it? Now keep in mind that a lot of your mishaps happened on their own, but we did ensure that certain plot points happened for make your story more interesting."

Danny looks utterly defeated and shocked. He turns to Clockwork who looks guilty. Was it true? He thought Clockwork was his friend. His eyes looked at Clockwork pleading for him to say it was a lie. Leading him to say that he hadn't been screwing with his life the whole time. But Clockwork just looks guilty.

"Im sorry Danny." Clockwork says sadly. "It was even our idea to have Sam convince you to go into the ghost portal. We wanted to create an antithesis for Plasmius. Someone who could do good with their powers. We didn't create Plasmius, we swear that, like Alucard, was something that happened on its own. But just like how we allowed for Tsukune to get his powers to help defeat him, we made sure you would be able to defend your city from ghosts. I swear, I didn't cause the lunch lady, or ember, or skulker to attack you. But, yes, a few specific villains I made sure you fought at the right points and the right times. I never liked it, but if I had refused then the ones on the other side would have been displeased and our section of reality could have been turned off. Im sorry."

Danny glares at Clockwork and cries. He turns his head to avoid looking at him. Clockwork also turns to Jazz and their parents, who also look furious at him. Clockwork sits back down and covers his face.

"And you?" Sailor Venus asks Sailor Pluto. "What did you do?"

"Not much honestly." Sailor Pluto says. "The end of the silver millennium happened on its own, as were your resurrections and the cats finding you. Now, you fighting The Dark Kingdom and now the Black Moon Clan were natural occurrences. As will the future enemies you will have to face. However-" She looks a bit guilty. "To give you more in-between stories, on behalf of the fourth-dimension people, I did, sorta, make certain little things happen."

"What kind of little things?" Sailor Moon asks steaming.

"Remember that time you got sick and Venus took care of you?" Pluto asks and Sailor Moon's eyes widen. "That was…sorta…me…."

Pluto says that guiltily. Sailor Moon just stares at her in silence for a minute. Her friends back away from her, but after a while Tuxedo Mask tries to approach her.

"Uh, Sailor Moon. Are you-"

Sailor Moon suddenly snaps and she tries clawing at Sailor Pluto through the bars of her cage. Of course Sailor Pluto is sitting several yards away.

"YOU BITCH!" Sailor Moon screams. ""DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT TORTURE I WENT THROUGH THAT DAY!?"

"Hey!" Sailor Venus protests.

"No it's true Minako, you aren't a good caretaker." Sailor Mercury says.

"What else!?" Sailor Moon asks.

"Just one big thing." Sailor Pluto says. She turns to Status Quo. "Can I tell them?" She asks.

Status Quo turns to the rabbits.

"Show the guardians their Destiny."

"Oh, what horrible thing did you plan for us?" Sailor Mars asks. "Or things?"

"Actually, you and the other guardians only have one sure fate ahead of you all." The lead rabbit says.

None of the guardians were all too happy about that.

"Oh what?" Sailor Moon asks scornfully.

The screen shows older versions of the Sailor Guardians. They are dressed in fancy regal dresses and Sailor Moon has the Silver Crystal raised over her head. The people down below cheer.

"Sailor Moon, in the future you are going to create the new silver millennium." The lead rabbit says. "Tokyo will become Crystal Tokyo while you and Tuxedo Mask will be known as Neo-Queen Serenity and King Endymion. The world shall again be united under a single rule free of conflict, there will be advanced technology, it will be a Golden Age of prosperity just as it was then and the earth will have connection to the rest of the universe again."

The screen shows Neo-Queen Serenity meeting with an older version of Oyuki, setting up trade with Neptune with older versions of her friends by her side. It also shows her meeting with an older version of Lum (who now looks and dresses like her mother) that is pregnant, setting up peace with Oniboshi and Lum sharing their technology. Beside her is older Ataru…

Both Ataru and Lum blush seeing that.

It also shows her meeting with older versions of Tsukune Aono and Moka, they shake hands fortifying a new peace between humans and Yokai. Also meeting with her is a man with a bald head, a big nose and with a nameplate that reads "Ochanomizu", beside him is an innocent looking robot boy. The entire world is a technological marvel with flying cars and zero pollution. It also shows adult Danny…

The girls, especially Jupiter, gawk over how tall and muscular he's going to grow to be, to present Danny's embarrassment.

being knighted by Neo-Queen Serenity and then adult Danny kissing adult Sailor Jupiter.

Both Danny and Lita blush seeing that and awkwardly turn away from each other.

"Ok, this isn't so bad." Sailor Moon says.

"Looks pretty great to me." Says Jazz.

The rest of the jury agree.

"Now, Neo-Queen Serenity and Endymion will have a daughter, but due to complications involving the new immortality you shall receive the child will stop aging while she's still a little girl."

"What? That's terrible." Sailor Moon says.

"Yeah, it causes self-esteem issues." Sailor Pluto admits. "Now, my meddling in this is that during a crisis I send your daughter back in time, to the present."

The screen then shows a little girl, who looks just like Usagi but with pink hair, falling from the sky and landing on top of Usagi (The Sailor Guardians all freak out seeing that).

"WHAT!?"

"IT'S CHIBIUSA!?"

"Wait, is that the girl that just appeared out of nowhere that you guys told me about?" Danny asks the guardians.

"Yep." Mercury says, while Moon is still frozen in shock.

"She's our daughter!?" She screams at Tuxedo Mask, who is equally surprised. "Oh no wonder that brat drives me crazy! She got that from you!"

"Yes, once you go back home you shall go with Chibiusa to the 30th century and you will defeat the Black Moon Clan together." Sailor Pluto says.

"But every thing we do has a threshold." Clockwork says. "The creators force us to meddle for a certain time, then after that we stop and we let things continue naturally. No control."

"And then we set up different destinies for you to choose based on your choices." The lead rabbit says. "Everything else good and bad that happens to people is on them. And you, Sailor Guardians, your destiny may be set in stone, but it is your happy ending and you shall bring it to all others."

"Lum and Ataru, your threshold was supposed to be the end of this mushroom crisis. The whole love potion thing was a later addition. So I guess now you guys are free to do what you want." Inaba says.

"Sailor Guardians. After the Black Moon Clan you will have to defeat Pharaoh 90, then Queen Badiane, and then after you save the world from all of them you will save the universe from Sailor Galaxia. So I apologize, you have a long painful road ahead of you. But the good news is that it will only be another year and after that you're totally free."

The Sailor Guardians don't know what to say. On one hand, they are glad that their main struggles are only going to be another year, but they will have to save the world THREE more times!? Sailor Moon faints.

"And what about me?" Danny asks. "What about Danny Phantom?"

"Oh, your threshold is actually about to happen soon." The lead rabbit says. "And don't worry, it ends with you being a world famous hero. Now-"

"I want to tell him." Clockwork tells Status Quo.

"Haven't you done enough already!?" The lead rabbit snaps. "Status Quo, the whole reason we are here is because he's already changed fate too much."

"Yes, normally I am against that." Status Quo says. "Bit as you know this reality is not the one we are all accustomed too-"

The jury and the heroes in the cage look at them confused. Not knowing what he means.

"What does that mean?" Ryuunosuke asks.

"Tomobiki…" He turns to the Sailor Guardians. "Your version of Tokyo…." Then he turns to Danny. "And Amity Park, those places, and you all, did not always exist in the same reality."

Now everyone but Inaba and the time keepers are shocked.

"WHAT!?"

"Yes, what happened is that a creator copied the timelines of your respective realities and meshed them together to create this one. Daniel, if the prime version of you had gone to his version of Japan he wouldn't have met Lum or Makoto."

Danny and Jupiter turn to each other and they think the same thing, that would be horrible.

"Now, whenever you merge timelines, introduce new elements and new characters there are bound to be deviations from the original plan."

"Yes, that's why we had to make sure that the Sailor Guardians and other empowered beings in Japan wouldn't have been able to fight Dan Phantom in the aborted timeline for this new world. So it wouldn't impact a past plotpoint." The lead rabbit says.

"Yes, I told you to do that. But did I tell you you had to make sure Lum didn't change her mind? Did I tell you to give her the idea to harness ectoranium? Did I tell you to have her use a Nemesis Crystal, which as you can see nearly had disastrous effects on the world?"

The dead rabbit tenses up. No, he was never told to do that. He just figured that Quo would have wanted him too since he asked him to do it before. He assumed that "higher up" would have wanted him too. He sweats nervously as his fellow rabbits, the Jury, Inaba and the caged heroes all glare at him. Along with Clockwork and Sailor Pluto.

"Well…I…."

"The point of merging timelines is to allow deviations." Status Quo turns to the caged heroes. "None of you did anything wrong. Case dismissed."

Status Quo blinks and Danny, Inaba, Lum, Ataru, Tuxedo Mask, Sailor Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter are instantly transported out of their cages of bonds and with their feet on the soft grass. Danny smiles at being free of the rope he was tied in while Inaba claps his head from the sudden blood rush and Jupiter picks up Danny easily before kissing him. Making the ghost boy love-dazed. Sinobu cries Inaba's name then runs up and hugs him, crushing his spine but he doesn't care. Jazz and their parents run up to embrace Danny, who hugs them back. Everyone else from the jury just walks up to the group. The lead rabbit can't believe this.

"B-B-But Status Quo!"

"You know, I've put in a few complaints about your female dress code." Sailor Pluto says pointing at Sinobu. "I consider that sexual harassment in the workplace. That's why you guys are all dudes now."

"You dress in a sailor suit!" The lead rabbit retorts.

"No, she has a point." Status Quo says. "Inaba, I'm making you the new head of the Destiny Production Management Bureau."

Inaba turns to him and gasps, eyes widened. While the (former) lead rabbit just stammers in shock and anger.

"What? Me?"

"WHAT!? HIM!?"

"Yes." Status Quo says.

Everyone, including Lum and Ataru, congratulate Inaba. Danny pats him on the shoulder.

"Hey, good job man." Danny says and Inaba blushes. "Do a better job than these jerks."

"I'll try." Inaba says. "I mean-" he wraps his arm around Sinobu's shoulders. "-WE, will try. If you want to."

Sinobu smiles at him.

"Of course. First order of business." Sinobu stares down at her own Bunny suit. "Let's make boy suits and girl suits more identical."

"Why?" Ataru asks. All the girls glare at him, including Lum and Jazz. Sakura and Ryuunosuke nearly punch him, but they retain. "Joking, I was joking!" Ataru says half-meaning it.

The (former) lead rabbit doesn't pay any attention to this, he continues pleading to his boss.

"Sir, please…"

But Status Quo turns back to Danny and the Guardians.

"Sailor Guardians, you are halfway through your intended story, I cannot allow you to change things this early. But if Sailor Jupiter is to have a boyfriend then all I ask is that he not help you in your battles. The threats you face are for the Sailor Guardians alone."

"Understood, sir." Sailor Moon says. The rest reluctantly nod.

"Good. Now Phantom, because you are so close to your threshold like Lum and Ataru were I shall allow Clockwork to tell you anything and you are allowed to make any changes you wish. Consider yourselves freed."

Honestly, Danny's mind was still rattling how they were essentially like characters in a show to beings beyond their dimension. That they basically decide what they do and don't do, including what enemies they fight for their amusement. But knowing that he was free now, as well as that Lita and the other guardians will be free soon and are destined for greatness made him feel a bit better, and relieved. Clockwork floats up to him but Danny is still cautious. His family stands in front of him protectively.

"Danny, I really am sorry. I know I can't make everything up to you, but I'm trying to help you now." Clockwork says. "So, Plasmius has currently sent a satellite to the rings of Saturn where he detected a large amount of ectoranium.-"

The screen shows a fairly large asteroid, roughly the size of a city block and shaped like a skull, floating in the rings of Saturn with a satellite with Plasmius' face on it.

"-He planned to harvest it to conquer the ghost zone."

"Wait, hold up." Jack says. "First the Wisconsin ghost has a ghost portal, now he has a satellite? Who is this guy?"

Danny looks too Clockwork who gives him a waved hand motion back.

"I'll tell you later, dad." Danny says. "Go on Clockwork."

"Anyways, you and your friends will stop him, but during the fight Plasmius will accidentally cause the satellite to explode and it will fling the asteroid toward earth. It will reach it in just a few weeks and cause apocalyptic devastation if it hits."

The Fentons eyes widened with horror.

"Wait hold up, that's not right!" Sailor Mercury says approaching them. "Ok first of all an object moving from Saturn to earth would not get here in a few weeks, it would take years. Secondly, that meteor is way too small to cause an apocalyptic impact. It would destroy a city at most!"

Clockwork snorts.

"Yeah, actually the meteor is also set to hit in a barren landscape so it wouldn't even do that."

"Honestly the creators weren't thinking about physics when they set the idea up. They just thought that the idea of averting an apocalyptic meteor would be a good…finale." Status Quo says.

"So basically you were going to make the meteor reach earth faster than it should have then make everyone think that if it hits everyone would die?" Lum guesses.

Status Quo nods, then Lum gives Danny a coy smirk.

"Suddenly I don't seem so bad now, huh ghost boy?"

"Whether or not the asteroid is actually deadly, it will bring some good changes." Clockwork says. "For example, Plasmius will attempt to phase the asteroid through earth in exchange for control of the earth-"

"HOW IS THAT GOOD!?" Danny asks.

But Jazz, Jack, Maddie and Lum just laugh.

"Son, it's a asteroid made of ectoranium, remember?" Jack laughs harder. "The Wisconsin ghosts gonna fail!"

"Indeed." Clockwork says. "Plasmius won't even bother returning to earth, but Danny will have another idea. Making the earth itself intangible."

The screen shows Danny and countless other ghosts using their intangibility powers at the North Pole. The whole world becomes intangible and the asteroid passes through it harmlessly. Then the screen shows Danny revealing his powers to his parents and everyone else there. Statues of Danny are erected all over the earth. Tucker is Mayor of Amity Park and Danny and Sam become a couple before flying off together.

Just about everyone has issues with what they are seeing.

"Hold on, I don't wanna get with Sam!" Danny shouts. "I mean, she's my best friend, but I love Lita!"

"Did you say love?" Sailor Jupiter asks.

Danny blushes, realizing who just just said that in front of. He gets nervous and faces her.

"I mean I…"

Sailor Jupiter picks him up and presses her lips against his. Danny is speechless and Lita looks at him lovingly.

"I love you too, Danny-Kun."

Danny smiles and they two embrace again.

"Now hold on, are you suggesting that Danny become famous through a false heroic action?" Sailor Venus asks skeptically.

"Yeah, and why is Tucker mayor? He's fourteen!" Jazz shouts.

"That whole thing is garbage." Ryuunosuke says.

"Yeah, I think that after this incident people realize that the disasteroid wasn't actually a world ending threat." Says Clockwork. "But Danny still remains a world renown hero when he publishes his biography explaining how he DID save the world from Vortex, Freakshow with the Reality Gauntlet, Pariah Dark and Undergrowth."

"Tucker was only made temporary mayor due to being the so-called-world-saviors best friend, he was kicked out early when he suggested miniskirt Fridays and the position was given back to the former mayor." Inaba says.

"Daniel, you end up with Sam because that's what the creators intended." The (former) lead rabbit says. "She's a strong female character, she's a goth your half ghost! We even made a possible future for you two where you marry and have two kids."

"Honestly I never really liked Sam as a love interest." Inaba says. "I mean she's ok as a friend, but I don't think she and Danny really had much in common. But I'm still going to let that door exist as an alternate timeline for the sake of Jackson and Misty. Bye the way, that's going to be my new policy!"

Danny breaks the kiss.

"Well, I don't wanna be famous over stopping something that wasn't actually dangerous." Danny says. "Or endanger the world for real."

"It's funny. Your intended threshold was supposed to be you facing Dan again." Status Quo says. "But again, the guy left, complications happened and your series actually had to end early, with alot of plot ideas unfulfilled. So they went with this idea and it did happen in the unmerged timeline."

"Well he's gone so no to that as well!" Danny says happily.

"But now, Danny, now you can allow your threshold to end the way you want it too." Clockwork says. "And I will be happy to answer any questions and help you anyway I can."

Danny turns to Jazz and his parents. Danny sighs.

"Clockwork, I will forgive you for everything under one condition." Danny says.

He turns to his family.

"Mom, dad, Jazz, whose Flynn?"

Jack, Maddie and Jazz become frozen in shock. Maddie and Jack turn to each other while Jazz covers her mouth in shock. Finally Jack speaks.

"Flynn? Flynn who?"

Everyone else is confused.

"Yeah? Flynn who?" Sinobu asks.

"Mr and Mrs Fenton," Inaba says. "As part of ensuring Danny would destroy the amnesia device I sent him to a place that accumulates memories from those that live in town. That includes yours."

"And it seemed like Flynn was my older brother who was taken by a ghost when I was a baby." Danny says.

Everyone else gasps.

"Mr and Mrs. Fenton, is that true?" Sailor Jupiter asks.

The Fentons sigh.

"Yes, that's true." Maddie says. She cries. "My first baby boy."

"We're sorry for not telling you about him, son." Jack says. "It's just…"

"We miss him." Jazz confides.

Danny turns to Clockwork.

"What happened to him?"

Danny asks Clockwork.

Clockwork pulls up an image of Pariah Dark on the screen.

"For those of you who do not know, this is Pariah Dark. He was the ruler of the ghost zone but he was overthrown and imprisoned by a band of powerful ghosts."

The screen shows several ghosts in robes attacking Pariah Dark. When he is down they take his ring and lock him in a sarcophagus.

"Danny asked about our brother, not ghost history." Jazz snaps.

"This ties into your brother." Inaba tells her. "Particularly who the leader of the group that defeated him was."

The screen shows the leader removing her hood. It is a female ghost with purple skin, red eyes and wearing a green headpiece that has spider-legs.

"Her name was, is, Misery Vex." Clockwork says. "After defeating Pariah Dark she dedicated her afterlife to bringing order to the ghost zone. But over the centuries she's realized she needs help."

The screen shows Misery Vex looking through a portal in the ghost zone leading to the Fenton Works basement. And young Flynn looking into it.

"Humans in the ghost zone can gain abilities that ghosts don't have. They can avoid being touched, they can gain superhuman strength, and prolonged exposure can result in them psychically connecting to the ectoplasmic energies of the realm. Granting them incredible powers beyond any ghost. She also sensed how your family's altered genetics can grant ghost abilities and more than that she sensed the boy's heart. His desire to do good."

"She took my son!" Maddie shouts in furious realization.

Clockwork nods.

"She raised him. Empowered him. Trained him to be her champion, the ghost world's greatest protector. He barely remembers his old life now, his new name is Exodus."

The screen shows Flynn, now an adult. He has a tall, muscular body not unlike Danny's future self. He has glowing white eyes and long red hair in a ponytail. He wears a black long sleeve shirt, gray jumpsuit pants and black boots. He also wears a green cape that also creates an "X" across his chest.

All the young ones look at Jazz and Danny sympathetically. Maddie and Jack just stare at the image of their oldest son all grown up. Clockwork brings the screen down and Maddie walks up to it. She presses her hand to the image of her son's face. A tear falls down her cheek.

"My boy." Then she becomes angry. "He grew up without me. Forced to be a soldier…because of her."

She says with her heart swelling with hatred for Misery Vex. She screams and Clockwork pulls the strewn away before she can punch it. Maddie faces Clockwork with crying furious eyes.

"Where's my son! Where's Misery Vex!? I'm going to tear her apart!"

"Yeah and how come I've never heard of an Exodus before?" Danny asks skeptically.

"The ghost zone is infinite Danny." Clockwork says. "The realms you've visited there don't even make up one percent. Flynn/Exodus is responsible for maintaining them all. There's a lot more threats than just what you've faced. Trust me, he's kept some terrifying ghosts from spreading through both our worlds. He could have even beaten Dan had he not been on the other side of the zone keeping demons at bay at the time. But I can lead you to him now."

Maddie and Jack sigh sadly and Danny approaches Clockwork.

"Thank you." Danny tells him and Clockwork smiles. Danny turns to his parents. "Mom, Dad, Jazz. Let's go find my brother."

"Right behind you, son." Jack says.

"I offer to help." Says Sailor Mars, snowing an Ofuda.

"Me too, of course." Says Sailor Jupiter.

Ran, Oyuki, Ryuunosuke and Benten step forward.

"Count us in too."

"I'll help." Says Lum.

"Sure, why not." Says Ataru.

"Hold up, we don't have enough room in the ghost zone probe." Says Danny. "And before we do that there's something else I need to do first. Take down the fruit-loop!"

Danny turns to a confused Jack.

"Vlad Plasmius."

"Ah! The Wisconsin ghost! Yes!" Says Jack.

"But, before we do that, there's something you should know about him." Danny tells his parents.

"I've got that covered Danny." Clockwork turns on the screen again. "Ok, first I'm going to show how your son got his ghost powers and how he was framed for things committed by other ghosts he didn't actually do. And then, I'm going to show you Plasmius and what he's done."

The screen turns on.

First of all, everybody there sees Danny stepping into his family's ghost portal and he accidentally turns it on, his DNA merges with ectoplasm and his friends Sam and Tucker find he's half ghost.

"Why would you put the on switch inside the device?" Lum asks the adult Fentons, who ignore her.

Then it shows Danny trying to capture a ghost dog, but instead it just pulls him through town causing damage. Then it shows the former mayor of Amity Park being possessed by a white ghost that looks like a jail warden, then him making it look like Danny is attacking him at town hall. Then it shows Danny accidentally destroying a ghost author's book, the ghost author says that anything he types with a special keyboard happens, then he types that all the Christmas presents will surround Danny.

Everyone else is unfazed but Jack and Maddie turn to their son looking shamefully at him.

"Oh, Danny we're so sorry." Maddie says.

"Damn actual ghosts making my son look bad." Jack says.

"Question, why did you destroy that ghost's book in the first place?" Sakura asks Danny.

"Oh, well I was in the ghost zone destroying Christmas stuff and one accidentally landed on the book." Danny admits guiltily. "And then when I heard it was a Christmas book I wasn't sorry at all."

Everyone, including Lum, Ataru and Sailor Jupiter give him a look that says "really dude?"

"I used to hate Christmas. My dad would insist Santa Claus is real, Mom argues against it."

Now everyone stares at Jack.

"What are you, five?" Ataru asks.

"My son's half ghost and you're dating an alien!" Jack retorts.

"Ok whatever, show them Vlad." Danny tells Clockwork, then he turns back to his parents. "Dad, I just want you to know, I am really sorry."

The screen then shows a younger Jack and Maddie with another skinny young man with dark hair.

"Hey, that's Vladdie!" Jack exclaims. "Wait, I thought you were showing us about Vlad Plasmius, not my friend Vlad Masters?"

Just keep watching.

The screen shows young Vlad talking to young Maddie in private.

Jack frowns, realizing Vlad was trying to confess to her.

Then it shows Vlad unsafely looking into a miniature ghost portal, Jack obliviously pouring soda into the fuel cartridge, and Jack impulsively plugging in the device right after Maddie says his calculations weren't right. As a result Vlad gets a face full of ghost portal energy, his hair turns white and he gets a serious case of ecto-acne.

Everyone but Danny recoils at the sight.

"Man, I wouldn't wanna be that guy." Benten says.

"You really should have listened to your wife." Sinobu says to Jack.

"Now let's be fair, that guy should have known better than to lean over in front of a device before it turns on. That's not what I would call safety in the workplace." Ran says.

Rei nods in agreement.

The screen then shows an older Vlad. Black rings form around him and he transforms into a blue ghost with vampire-like fangs.

"WHAT!?" Jack shouts in horror as he catches Maddie who faints.

Everyone but Danny is only mildly surprised.

"Oh, so he's half ghost too." Sakura says.

"Makes sense seeing how Danny got his powers." Sinobu says.

"Wait, is that the Vlad Plasmius you were talking about?" Benten asks.

"Your arch enemy you said, right?" Ryuunosuke asks Danny.

"Yes, they are the same." Danny says.

"No..this can't be." Jack says crushed. "Vlad is my best friend."

The screen shows Vlad telling Danny, who is trapped, that he will train him if he kills Jack. It shows him sending ghost animals to attack Jack at his house before showing him offering gift baskets to Maddie and Danny at his house. It shows him short-circuiting Danny's powers with a taser device then sending ghost animals after him. It shows him sending a package to a girl, Valarie Gray, and her attacking Danny with ghost hunting tech. It shows him and Danny fighting. It shows him freeing a weather ghost, Vortex. It shows him creating misshapen clones of Danny in his lad, him torturing the actual Danny while standing next to a smaller female clone of Danny, then him attacking both of them. It shows Vlad creating many ghost copies of himself and possessing people so they elect him mayor. And it shows him admitting to a trapped Danny that he made his first million by robbing banks as a ghost and possessing people so they sign their companies over to him. And finally, it shows him melting the young female clone of Danny to a puddle.

"Wow, your best friend sucks." Benten says bluntly to Jack, who became more and more depressed with every scene.

"What a jerk." Says Sailor Jupiter.

"Danny, give me the word and I'll use the Fire Soul on him." Sailor Mars says.

"I'll slice him with my roses." Says Tuxedo Mask.

"I'll use my Rainbow Moon Heart Attack and destroy him!" Shouts Sailor Moon.

"I'll freeze him." Says Sailor Mercury.

"No, I'll do that. You can kick him so hard he shatters." Says Oyuki.

"I'll whip him with my chains!" Says Sailor Venus.

"I'll send the Thunder Dragon up his but!" Says Sailor Jupiter.

"Can I help?" Lum asks.

"Sure, thanks."

"If he still lives I'll drop an ectoranium meteor on him!" Lum adds.

"I can banish him to the netherworld." Says Sakura.

"I'll do to him what I did to Jazz's ex." Benten says tightening her chain.

"I'll weaken him." Says Arab, puckering her lips.

"If you guys give me some ghost tech I'll teach him some decency!" Ryuunosuke tells the Fentons.

"No, I'll crush him first!" Says a disgusted Sinobu.

"Oh is it my turn now?" Asks Ataru. "Hmm, I bet if we tattoo Ofuda symbols on him it'll hurt."

"Ok everyone stop!" Jack shouts.

Everyone stops and stares at him. Maddie wakes up and she looks at her husband who is covering his face in distress.

"I just…I need to process all this."

Jack sits back in the jury seats and rubs his hands through his hair. Danny approaches his father and pats his shoulder.

"Look dad, how Vlad turned out isn't your fault." Danny tells him. "One time I went back in time and I prevented Vlad from getting hit with that ghost energy. You wanna know what happened?" Jack looks at his son, wondering if Vlad was better without him. "Vlad lied to mom to keep her away from you. They got married and mom wasn't happy, he treated her like a trophy wife-" Maddie and the other girls groan hearing that. "-and then he killed other you and tried to keep me from fixing the timeline. I'm sorry dad, but Vlad is just a bad person and you shouldn't blame yourself for that."

Jack finds new resolve.

"Alright, I can accept that Vlad was never really my friend. And he's hurt you and done a lot of harm with his powers."

Jack stands tall and faces the others.

"So how are we going to go about this?"

Danny smiles at his father.


To be continued…

…immediately.
