Danny Phantom and Burn stood several feet apart in Amity Park's park. It was early so people were few and far between. A perfect place to practice. After Vlad took his minions and retreated, Specter had split back into Danny and Burn. Wolf was kind enough to rip out The Demon Ghosts from his mother and sister. Fortunately neither of them had remembered what happened. That had been two days ago and Burn began to teach him about duplication and the finer points of his intangibility power. In return, Danny would help him with his own ghost wail. Danny listened, but made sure to remember who was teaching him. After the split, Burn had told him that no matter what, as soon as Ember was back on her feet, their truce was over. So both of them would probably use what they have learned against each other. Burn cracked his neck, "Now stop trying so hard. Visualize yourself in two places and just let your power split."

Danny nodded and closed his eyes. White energy sparked around him and he flashed with white light. Danny opened his eyes, "How's that?"

Burn shook his head, "Why me?" Danny had split into five, but their arms and legs were connected. He looked like a giant paper doll cut out.

"Dang it!" Danny collapsed into one, "Why is this so hard?"

"Duplication is a difficult technique! I can only split into two."

Danny nodded and was ready to try again, but his Fenton Watch beeped, "Crap! I'm late for school!" He took off.

Danny ghosted through the main doors and flew down the corridor. The bell had just rung a minute ago, so he was hopeful he wouldn't get caught. Danny transformed into Danny Fenton and walked toward his homeroom. As he reached the doorknob, "Mr. Fenton!"

Danny slowly turned and smiled, "Mr. Lancer! Hi! What's up?"

"Your detention! Why can't you come in on time? Your sister makes it here on time."

"Missed the bus!"

Mr. Lancer's eyes narrowed, "Daniel! I've tried to be patient. But if getting to school is really that hard, I guess I will just have to pick you up every morning when I come in. At five thirty!"

"That won't be necessary!"

"Oh I think it is! Maybe after a month of early mornings, you learn to appreciate the school schedule a little more. Now get to class before I decide to add another detention on your list."

"Yes sir!"

Danny sat on the steps of Casper High with Sam and Tucker. Tucker patted his friend on the back, "It could be worst!"

"How? I have one enemy sleeping in a tube at home, who will wake up in a very grumpy mood. I have another who will turn on me as soon as she wakes up. And Vlad is making what little free time I have a nightmare." Danny stood up, "Lets face it! It couldn't be worst!"

"Mr. Fenton!"

"Then again." Danny turned around and walked toward the front doors, "Yes Mr. Lancer!"

"I'm sorry about this morning."

"HUH!" Danny, Sam, and Tucker's jaw dropped.

Mr. Lancer smiled, "You should of told me that you were showing the new math teacher around. He came to my office a few hours ago and told me he forgot to give you a hall pass." Mr. Lancer's smile vanished, "But I am still watching you! Try to come in on time." The teacher walked back inside.

Danny stood frozen for a moment, then shook his head, "What just happened?"

"I think you off the hook!" Sam walked up to him, "So who is the new teacher?"

Danny's ghost sense went off, "I have a bad idea!" He jumped into the bushes, "Going Ghost!" He flew into the building.

Danny flew around the school until he reached a math classroom. He phased through the door and appeared in front of it, "Alright ghost! Why are you here?" A man in a black suit was erasing math equations from the black board. He had black hair which was combed, a clean face, and he wore a pair of glasses. Danny sighed, "Burn!"

"That is Mister Maxwell to you!" A ring appeared at the man's feet and flew up. He transformed into his black outfit and trench coat. His hair returned to being flame like, his skin turned a blue tint and his glasses changed into sunglasses. He smirked, "Like the cover!"

"Nice! But your still a ghost. My parents ghost sensors will pick you up."

"Not when they have been tuned to ignore my spectral signature."

"Tucker!" Danny's hands glowed green, "Whats the angle?"

"I figured having a teacher covering for you would be a good idea. And besides, your parents kept looking at me weird."

Danny shrugged, "I see your point." He floated up, "I'll see you later." He flew out of the school.

Technus turned a nut with his wrench once more before standing back. A large metal arch was sitting in the middle of the room. Technus laughed, "My Ghost Changer Arch is complete."

Plasmus appeared behind him, "So how does it work?"

"Simple! All I need is a small sample of energy from a ghost. I feed it into the machine and another ghosts steps through the arch. That ghost will temporally be transformed into a copy of that ghost with all of their powers."

"How long?"

"About five hours! The process is a little unstable. But if we get a sample from that ghost boy, any ghost that I transform will be able to turn into a human. There by bypassing all of the anti ghost contraptions of The Fentons."

Plasmus nodded, "Excellent! Now to put my plan into action." He held out his hand and a red orb appeared, "We will use my energy to capture the boy's."

Technus nodded, "That will work, but they won't be as powerful as you. The machine won't make a ghost stronger."

"No! But it will be enough to scare him into submission." Plasmus laughed so hard, it echoed through out their warehouse hideout.

Danny landed on top of a building in downtown. Cars drove through the streets, people walked about, and the sky was turning a lovely shade of red and pink, "Sam would love this view!"

"But I thought we could enjoy it."

Danny turned around, "Plasmus!"

The ghost stood in front of him smiling, "Hi Daniel!"

Danny's fist sparked green and he shoved into Plasmus's jaw. The ghost fell back and landed on the roof. Danny grabbed the ghost's jacket and lifted him up, "This will hurt you a lot more than me." His right fist glowed green and he rammed it into Plasmus's hut. As he hit, he let go and Plasmus flew through the air and landed on the roof next door. Danny floated up, but a hand shot out of the building and grabbed him. He was phased and pulled into the building. Another Plasmus spun his around and smashed him into a wooden desk. They were in an office. People in suits ran away, as Plasmus threw a red beam at the fallen ghost. Danny rolled clear and ghosted through a wall. He flew out of the building, but Plasmus shot from the sky and slammed into his back. He cried out as the force of the blow sent him to the street. He spun in mid air and landed on his feet, "Damn! Those copies have way to much strength. How could he have copied himself so many times without draining his strength?"

"Practice!" Plasmus blasted him in the back. The other three landed on the ground and surrounded Danny, "Something wrong Daniel?" All four spoke at the same time.

Danny stood up, "I can take you!" He closed his eyes and his body flashed with white light. He opened his eyes and he was looking at himself, "Yes!" He looked down, "NO!" He and his copy were still connected at the waist.

Plasmus laughed, "Your never going to get that one. And I can do it so easily." Two more Plasmuses rose out of the ground, "See!" All of them held their hands out and they glowed red. They each fired a beam at Danny. Danny managed to pull himself together and phase through the ground. The beams exploded on contact with each other. Danny flew out of the street and into the sky. The Plasmuses laughed, "You can't run forever."

"I'm not running!" He pulled back his glove and reveled a green watch, "I'm just calling for backup!" He pressed a small button on the watch, "Now to deal with you!" Danny shot toward the group as they fired red beams at him. He dodged them and suddenly veered off course. He flew down the street, "Just got to buy some time." Danny stopped as five Plasmuses appeared in front of him. They smiled and all punched him at the same time. Danny fell to the ground, "This doesn't make any sense."

"Oh it makes lot of sense." The Plasmuses took aim, "Goodbye Daniel!" Before they could even fire, a large shockwave hit them in the back. As they fell, a black ghost wolf charged at them and blasted through them. He landed next to Danny and stood ready as the six others flew at them. He took a deep breath and howled. A green shockwave shot from his mouth and blasted the other Plasmuses back.

Danny stood up, "Thanks Wolf!"

"Your welcome!"

"You speak English?"

"Sister help!" Wolf's claws extended, "Fight!"

"Works for me!" Danny flew at the group of five as Wolf charged at the group of six. As they reach their targets, four more Plasmuses flew out of the ground behind them and grabbed their feet. They spun them around and Danny and Wolf slammed into each other. The group of Plasmuses surrounded the pair as they stood up, "How can he split himself so many times?" Wolf grumbled. Danny's hands glowed, "We have no choice but to fight!"

"DUCK!" Danny and Wolf dropped to the street as The Specter Speeder shot forward and rammed into the group of Plasmuses. The speeder stopped and Jazz jumped out, "Sorry I'm late!"

"Better late than never." The three stood ready as the Plasmuses stood up.

"So you have yourself a team now Daniel! We will continue this later!" All the Plasmuses laughed and ghosted through the street.

Danny stomped his foot on the ground, "This is getting ridiculous! He attacks, then runs."

"He is just trying to run you down." Jazz patted his shoulder, "We'll stop him. We just need to figure out his plan!"

Danny looked around and turned into Danny Fenton, "All I know is, that soon we will go on the offensive."

The Box Ghost held up a green glowing box, "I got the energy just as you wanted!"

Plasmus, the original smiled as he took it, "Very good! You have served me well." He handed the box to Technus, "Begin!" The bot nodded and flew to his machine. Plasmus turned to Walker, "Your ghost cops did their job well."

"Thank you Master Plasmus!"

"Ready!"

Plasmus chuckled and flew into the arch. He flashed with green and red energy and flew out as Danny Phantom. He laughed in Danny's voice, "Yes! Soon my master plan will be complete."
