Mina: Here's the next chapter! I'm sorry it took so long! I do not own Danny Phantom.


Danny and Cana just stood in the middle of the dome waiting for something to happen. Then, in one area, the ghost shield was let down, allowing a few ghosts to enter. Once they were in, the ghost shield was put back up. The ghosts that had entered the dome were the ectopuses. Cana and Danny just stared at each other with a questioning expression on their faces. They had each expected much harder ghosts to fight.

The ectopuses moved toward them. There were five ectopuses in total. Cana ran toward one and whacked it with her pole. The ectopus immediately disappeared. Two of the ectopuses had headed toward Danny. Danny swung the pole at one of them and then pulled it back toward him letting the back part of it hit the ectopus that was behind him. Those ectopuses both disappeared leaving only two more. Danny and Cana ran at the remaining ectopuses and they each hit one of them. The final ectopuses disappeared and the crowd outside the dome cheered. However, Danny and Cana had a feeling that this wasn't the only thing Plasmius was going to throw at them.

"Very good you two. Although the ectopuses really weren't much of a challenge," Plasmius said. "You will obviously be facing more ghosts but at this time you can chose someone else to join you."

With out any hesitation Cana said, "I chose Valerie."

"Very well," The dome opened up in one area but the ghost shield remained. "You may enter Miss. Gray."

Valerie entered the dome and the opening closed behind her. She pulled on her red suit and got out her glider and her bazooka. She then joined Danny and Cana in the middle of the dome. The ghost shield was let down and some more ghosts entered. These ghosts were just green blobs and really had no discernible shape.

Danny, Cana, and Valerie charged at the ghosts and began fighting. Cana swung her pole around and was able to take out a large number of the ghosts. Valerie flew at the ghosts and shot a few with her bazooka. A lot of the ghosts had swarmed toward Danny and surrounded him. He managed to do a combination of attacks with his pole causing the ghosts to vanish. The trio then destroyed the rest of the ghosts to cheers from the crowd.

Wow! I never knew Fenton could fight like that! Dash thought.

Danny's just like me, Jack Fenton, ghost hunter! Danny's father thought.

Wow! Danny's actually pretty good at this. It must be in his genes. Maddie thought.

So Valerie is the ghost hunter! She lied to me! Valerie's father thought.

Many other thoughts swam through the minds of the people watching the fight in the dome. Many of them were surprised at how good these teens were at fighting ghosts.

"Well done you three!" Plasmius complemented them from above. "However, those ghosts weren't too challenging either. Obviously you will be facing more ghosts and I will once again allow you to pick someone to join you in there."

Cana, Danny, and Valerie got in a huddle.

"So, who are we going to pick?" Valerie asked.

"I have an idea of who we should pick but I also think I see what Plasmius is trying to do," Cana said.

"You do?" Danny and Valerie asked her.

"Yeah. I mean think about it. He expects me to pick people who are good at fighting ghosts so that we have a chance in here. So far it has been easy but I bet that he will make it get harder until it reaches a level where we will lose. Also, at that point there wouldn't be any competent ghost hunters left in the town leaving it vulnerable to an attack if we fail on winning in here," Cana explained.

"And who do you think he wants in here?" Danny asked.

"Well, he obviously wanted you and Valerie. I think he may also want me to choose Sam and Tucker and then probably your dad."

"But that would leave my mom out there and she's better than my dad."

"That may be true but Plasmius doesn't want to harm your mother because of how much he loves her and he also would love to hurt your dad. Therefore I think we should bring Danny's mother in here. We'll figure out the rest later," Cana finished saying to them and then louder she said, "Plasmius! We want Maddie Fenton to join us in here!"

Plasmius' eyes went wide for a moment but quickly returned to normal. "Very well." The dome lifted up. "You may enter Maddie."

Maddie walked into the dome and the opening closed behind her. She was wearing her blue jumpsuit and she now pulled the hood up. She carried her Fenton Bazooka, a pole similar to Cana's and Danny's, and the specter deflector. Once she joined Danny, Cana, and Valerie in the center of the dome the ghost shield was let down and some more ghosts entered. The ghost shield was then put back up. The ghosts that had entered were similar to the blob ghosts except they were bigger, stronger, and there was more of them.

Danny, Cana, Valerie, and Maddie headed toward the ghosts with their weapons in hand. Danny, Cana, and Maddie were using their poles while Valerie was using her bazooka. The ghosts shot some green blasts at them which they dodged around. Cana hit one of the ghosts from behind with her pole and then quickly used the other side to hit a ghost that had come up beside her. Maddie did a bunch of fancy things with her pole and then hit a few of the ghosts causing them to vanish. Valerie was flying on her glider and dodging the green blasts while firing her bazooka. She managed to take out a lot of the ghosts. Danny had run into the middle of a circle of ghosts. They all kept firing green blasts at him but he jumped up in the air to avoid them and then brought his pole down hard and hit one of the ghosts. He was still in the middle of the circle so he swung the pole in a circle and made the rest of the ghosts vanish. With a few more blast from Valerie's bazooka the rest of the ghosts disappeared and the crowd outside of the dome cheered.

"That's my wife!" Jack said in a loud, proud voice to the people around him. Those people stared at him with annoyed expressions on their faces because they all knew that. The Mansons and Foleys were standing next to Jack along with some of Danny's peers.

"Wonderful job!" Plasmius applauded them. "But, as I'm sure you've guessed, there's more to come. However, I feel generous and will allow you to pick one more person to fight with you."

The group in the dome huddled together so that they could discuss their options.

"So…who do you want to pick?" Danny asked them.

"I think that we shouldn't pick Sam, Tucker, Mr. Fenton, or Jazz," Cana replied.

"Why not?" Maddie asked.

"Because he wants me to leave no ghost hunters to protect the town so we need to leave them there in case we fail in here," Cana explained to Maddie.

"Okay. Then who should we choose?" Maddie asked.

"I'm thinking Dash," Cana replied.

"Dash!" Danny and Valerie asked shocked.

"Yeah. He's strong and he likes to hurt things, plus I taught him some stuff about ghost hunting when we left the town to go to Vlad's house. Is that okay with everyone?" Cana asked.

"It's fine with us," they all responded together.

Cana then said in a loud enough voice for Plasmius to hear, "We all choose Dash Baxter to join us in here!"

Plasmius' eyebrows inched up his forehead but he still responded in a calm voice, "Very well. Dash you can enter the dome." The dome then opened up to let him in.

"Dash! Grab a jumpsuit and some weapons and then come in!" Cana told him.

Dash went over to Mr. Fenton and got a jumpsuit which he put on. He then grabbed the Fenton Ghost Gloves and entered the dome. Once he was in, the opening closed and Dash joined the others in the middle. The ghost shield was let down and some more ghosts entered. These ghosts looked like the blob ghosts but had much more advanced and powerful attacks.

Instead of charging right away the group let the ghosts make the first move. The ghosts shot green beams from their hands toward the group. They each dodged the blasts and advanced toward the ghosts. Valerie shot a few blasts from her bazooka at the ghosts and a few disappeared. Dash punched a bunch of ghosts with the Fenton Gloves causing them to disappear. Maddie, Cana, and Danny each used their poles to get rid of the rest of the ghosts. The crowd outside the dome cheered once all of the ghosts were gone but the group inside the dome all had a feeling of what was going to happen next.

"Another job well done but still not much of a challenge," Plasmius said from above. "And since I'm so nice you can chose one more person to join you in the dome but this is the last time that you can do that so choose wisely."

Before the rest of the group could talk with her Cana said up to Plasmius, "I choose Paulina to come in here!"

Paulina's eyes went wide and she pointed to herself as if there were other Paulinas there.But she still walked toward Jack and got a jumpsuit and put the jumpsuit on. She was then handed a pole like the ones that Maddie, Cana, and Danny had as well as another Fenton Bazooka. The dome then opened up and allowed Paulina to enter. Once she did the dome closed behind her and she joined the others in the middle. Like the last few times the ghost shield was let down and some ghosts entered.

Once the ghosts had entered the ghost shield was put back up. These ghosts were a mix of some of Danny's enemies. Skulker was there as well as Ember and Johnny 13. Johnny 13 was on his motorcycle and Shadow was right underneath him. His girlfriend, Kitty, was there also, in her red jacket and clothing. Technus was also there. They all grinned evilly at the group in the dome. Paulina gave a little shriek and ran behind Dash.

"We've been looking forward to this," Skulker said and all the ghosts began to inch forward, preparing to attack.


Mina: I decided to cut it off there. The next chapter will probably be shorter than this but I'm not sure yet. Also, just so everyone knows, when I say poles I mean the thing that Maddie was using in Maternal Instinct. I didn't know what to call it so I just refer to it as a pole.I hope everyone enjoyed reading this chapter. I would like to thank Missmeliss4251, Nari-chan SND, and xheartkruezx for reading and reviewing the last chapter. I also would like to thank anyone else who has read this but have for whatever reason not reviewed. Just remember that I except all types of reviews including anonymous, flames, constructive criticism, and just an 'update soon.' Please leave lots of reviews!
