Chapter 14: TheNewest Eipc Problem

Frankie and Bloo crept behind the ghosts to distract them.

"Hey, check this out." Technus said. "We got two more victims here."

"Oh no you don't!" Danny yelled as he charged at Technus and then to the machine. He fired an ectoblastic energy blast at it and in an instinct it was blown up into a thousand pieces.

"No, the machine is gone." Skulker scowled. "Oh well, time to crush them." The ghosts teamed up and fired at the four of them. They flew back out of the ghost zone back into Danny's lab.

"Well, at least Bloo's safe." Mac said.

"Yeah. We were lucky to get out of there alive." Frankie added.

"Really? I beg to differ." A voice said coming out of the portal.

"Ahoy, Biltrates! I've come for me booty!" Youngblood shouted.

"Give the pirate thing a rest." His parrot said. "You're not very good at it."

"Shut up."

"Now, let's party!" Ember said, playing her guitar. Once she did, a powerful wave of ghost energy shaped in a fist came out of it and went towards the 4 of them. Danny used intangibility to get them out of the house.

"Alright, that's it!" Mac shouted. "It's Christmas eve tomorrow, and I want to spend it without interruptions!" Mac jumped to the ground, grabbed the ghost gauntlets and headed for the lab.

In a mere 10 minutes, Ember and Youngblood had broken arms, legs, and crushed feet.

"Okay, Danny…" Ember began to plead. "Is your…friend…always this angry?"

"Only at Christmas." Danny replied.

Danny grabbed Ember and Youngblood by the chest and sent them back into the ghost zone. The 4 of them went back to Fosters to finish decorating. When they entered the house, Bloo was working on a world record.

"Hey, Bloo, what are you doing?" Mac asked.

"Well, I'm working on a world record for eating the most food." He replied gulping down a can of Cherry Coke. "Care to join me?"

"No thanks." Mac said yawning. "I'm going upstairs to get some rest." Mac grew more exhausted with each second. Until he saw an empty couch. "Or maybe I'll just rest here." Mac walked slowly to the couch, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When he woke up, he was in Bloo's bed. Bloo was still asleep. Mac opened the window to see it pitch dark. Mac was in his pajamas. He walked downstairs to see Frankie and Danny in the T.V. room. Mac walked slowly to them and sat down.

"Hey, Mac." Danny said. "I guess you woke up."

"Woke up?" Mac asked, clueless.

"Well, yeah. Danny found you asleep in here a few hours ago. So he took you up to bed."

"Yeah, and you've been asleep for over four hours." Danny added. "You want some hot chocolate?"

"I guess." Mac took his cup and rank it. They watched the Christmas parade on T.V. Then, Danny took Mac home.

While Danny was going home himself, his ghost sense went off. He looked around until he was knocked back into a wall.

"Who did that?" Danny shouted transforming.

"Well, I see you're ready for anything." The voice said.

"So, you're the one that stabbed the man at Adventure Land, aren't you?" Danny knew it was his future self that attacked him.

"Well, of course. I needed to do that for my trap to be successful." He said. "Now, I can destroy you." The ghost charged at Danny. Danny used invisibility and flew away. The ghost charged into the wall.

Future Danny Phantom flew into Fosters and crept around to find Bloo. Danny flew into Fosters and found his future self. He charged his Super Plasma Blast and fired it at Future Danny. Future Danny was flown back into a wall and phased into it. Danny followed him.

Christmas Eve was finally here! Mac and Bloo were just relaxing in their room. Wilt and Eduardo were donating the money earned in the big show. Everyone who helped out in the show came over for a big party.

Danny was helping with the decorations. But when he hung up the last ornament, it exploded, and Skulker came out.

"Ah ha! There you are, ghost child." He said. "Now, it's time to finish what we started…" Then, his PDA rang. It read:

!0:55 a.m.

Go to library and return magazine on purple back gorilla, then meet Mr. and Mrs. Foley at the Health-o-Mart

"I thought that place closed years ago." Skulker said using intangibility as his jetpack flew him out of the house.

More imaginary friends were coming in for the holidays. Frankie and Mr. Herriman were up to the necks in paperwork. But it was worth it. Mac was so happy that Christmas was here, so he was in a great mood.

"Hey, Bloo, do you want to play video games?" Mac asked getting ready to play.

"Uh Mac, have you been drinking any coffee, lately?" Bloo asked, sitting down.

"Well, maybe a little, 12 cups. Why do you ask?" Mac asked in a hyper tone.

"Well, let's do something else." Bloo said.

"Okay." Mac ran out of the room into Bloo's room.

Coco was still recovering from her broken leg. Bendy was tending to her every whim. Meanwhile, the whole time, Bendy was being controlled by Walker. When nobody was looking, Walker escaped from Bendy and flew into Mr. Herriman's body. Now it was time to put phase II into action.

Eduardo was dressing his stuffed animals with Christmas outfits. He had no idea that he was being stalked by Desiree.

"I wish Bloo would stop bullying me." He said. Desiree granted his wish and Bloo appeared at the door with a plate of cookies.

"Here, Eduardo." The clone Bloo said. "These cookies are for YOUUUUUUUU!" He screamed as the ghost within Bloo was pushed out by Danny.

"Oh no you don't Desiree." He shouted. "You leave this house alone."

"Not a chance." Desiree said. But Eduardo wouldn't be fooled. He charged at Desiree and sent her flying.

"Way to go, Eduardo!" Danny said. "You rock!"

"Si! I know." He replied. The two of them went downstairs for lunch.

"Wow, you sure have been fighting a lot of ghosts, lately." Eduardo said.

"Yeah. I know. They always do this on Christmas. That's why I hate them." Danny replied. "But look on the bright side…" Danny split into four ghosts. The four of them said, "…now that my power has increased, I could take down any ghost that gets in my way."

Mr. Herriman flew into the room Mac was in. Mr. Herriman was being controlled by Walker.

Meanwhile, Future Danny was roaming the streets. He was getting ready for phase III.

"Soon, it will all end, and I will rule the Earth." He said, as he entered the house to claim his pray. It was his time to rule as king.
