Danny charged forward and dove through Orlic's chest. He phased his body into reality and kicked the warrior in the back. Orlic's armor buckled under the force of his kick.

Danny went rocketing forward and flipped into a crouch. "Is that all you got creep. I thought you were a god." Danny turned around in time to see the fist collide with the red oval in the middle of his chest.

The force of the hit sent Danny slamming back first into a small outcropping of rock. Pain shot up his spine before he got to his feet. He watched Orlic warily and started to back up.

Orlic smiled as Danny tripped over the rock and fell behind it. He aimed his hand and sent a blast rushing at the outcropping. Dust rose as it was decimated.

That was when he felt a powerful blast slam into his back.

Danny's form settled onto the ground in front of Orlic. The two powerful beings faced each other with malice showing clearly on their faces.

Danny blinked.

He flew forward as a surge of energy slammed into him. His body twisted in mid-air and went rolling across the ground. Orlic walked toward his downed opponent. "You're a worthy foe. What is your name child?" He stopped in front of Danny's form.

He pushed himself to his feet and stared at the monstrous presence in front of him. "My name," Three voices joined him as one. "IS DANNY PHANTOM!" Three green and blue blasts slammed into the inter-dimensional evil as Danny slammed his fist into it's face.

Orlic flew out of the ring formed by the four Dannys. As one they shot their energy into his chest and left a hole at least one foot in diameter. The four figures merged into one as they stared at what was left of his opponent. Danny glared in disgust at what he'd had to do.

He walked away from the body and stopped where Shade rested on the ground. In his place was the figure of his teacher. "Wake up. It's over, we've won." The eyes that looked back at him were glazed and unfocused. What Orlic had done was enough to make sure that Shade was going to stay down for at least a couple of hours. He leaned over to check his ally for injuries.

That was when the boot caught him in the ribs.

"Astounding. you can change into several forms, make clones of yourselves, throw energy blasts almost as powerful as mine, and numerous other things. Your world is so interesting. It's been many a year since I had even a small challenge. Let alone somebody capable of wounding me. Perhaps I'll seek some more entertainment while I'm here." This last bit was punctuated by a vicious kick to Danny's jaw as he tried to get up from the previous blow. "I wish there was another way, but you're simply too dangerous. In a matter of minutes you grew almost as powerful as me. If I let you live much longer, I don't think I'd be able to beat you."

Danny looked up in fear as a ball of purple energy appeared at the tip of the finger pointed at him. The point blank release of energy shot through Danny's skull. He vanished in a wisp of green vapor. "Who said you can now?" Orlic turned halfway around before the fist slammed into his face. He skidded across the floor leaving a smirking Danny standing at the other end of the field. "What, did you think I wouldn't remember those holes Vlad put in you? I'm not dumb you know."

Orlic pushed his hand forward unleashing a large purple stream of energy at Danny. Danny focused his energy into a beam of energy straight at Orlic. The two powers met in the middle of the battlefield. A swirling ball of blue, purple, and green energy formed between them. They continued to feed the attack with their continuing streams of power. Slowly the energy pushed toward Danny. He could feel heat coming from the massive attack.

Danny forced more power into his blast, but the ball kept coming. He could feel himself weakening as he put more effort into the stream of energy that emanated from his hands. The energy flared as he released most of his power into the blast. The energy ball exploded sending both Orlic and Danny flying away from each other.

Danny slowly rolled to a stop against the massive blade that remained resting in the ground. Orlic stopped near the area where he'd eliminated Vlad Masters. Danny got to his feet much more slowly than his opponent. Orlic marched forward while Danny supported himself on the broken sword.

"I don't think I've ever faced an opponent quite like you. Nobody has ever managed to fight me this long. I truly wish that things could be different. Perhaps we could even have been friends." A purple aura started to form around his hand.

"I don't think so. I could never be like you."

Orlic shook his head. "Too bad." He stretched his hand out and prepared to fire.

Danny knew that he didn't have the energy to continue this fight. He glanced down at what his left hand now rested on. He realized that it was his last chance. His hand turned blue and sank into what was left of the monstrous sword. Then he let his hand return to normal.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The pain intensified as his hand became solid and started to fuse with the metal. He pulled the metal up and straight up the middle of Orlic.

Danny tried to pull his hand from the metal before fainting in exhaustion.
