Danny quietly went through the Maldum base, not knowing what to expect. He was looking for Myrus or Cobaark, hoping that if he found them, he'd be able to overpower them with his enhanced strength. He hoped this would force their surrender.

Gee, I hope Raschenda and Vundeter are okay, Danny thought to himself as he went through the base. Those guys were surrounded. How are they going to escape? Are they really this dependent on me?

Danny didn't have time to answer his own question. He looked into a room and saw Cobaark and Myrus standing there, staring at a giant machine. The machine looked similar to the machine Danny had been strapped down to when his powers got extracted, except this one wasn't horizontal. This machine was also hooked up to the computer Cobaark was researching the Endoplasmic Molecular Vaporizing ability on.

Danny was trying to quietly walk in and blast both of them by surprise, but it didn't work. Cobaark turned around and saw Danny walking in.

"Hey!" Cobaark snapped. "Lord Myrus! There's an intruder here!'

Myrus turned around and saw Danny. His dark, brooding face had an evil smile appear on it. "Well, well, well, Danny, I see we meet again."

"Yeah. And coincidentally, this is going to be the last time we meet!" Danny yelled. "My powers are more greatly enhanced than either of yours. Surrender now and stop or the war, or be ready to taste some ghost plasma!"

Danny was hoping to intimidate Myrus and Cobaark. It seemed to work on Cobaark, but Myrus remained calm. "Cobaark, I told you to finish this traitor, did I not!" Myrus snapped. "It's your fault he's still alive. Kill him now!"

"Er…right, my lord," Cobaark stammered. "As you wish."

Saying this, Danny balled both of his fists up and began a stare-off with Cobaark. The two stared at each other coldly, and without warning, Cobaark fired the first blast.

A stream of ghostly energy fired out of Cobaark's hand, and Danny was hit right in the chest with it. He got sent flying back, but it didn't take him long at all to recover. He countered with a blast of his own, and the shock sent Cobaark flying backwards almost twice as hard.

Cobaark struggled to get up, but Danny flew over and grabbed him by the front of his armor and started punching Cobaark as hard in the face as he could.

It wasn't until Danny nailed Cobaark in the head with his fist about ten times before Danny realized, something is not right here. Something is seriously not right about the way this fight is going…

Ignoring these thoughts, Danny continued to pummel Cobaark. It looked like Danny would win until Cobaark had a surprise surge of strength and grabbed Danny by the throat. In less time than Danny could react, Cobaark slammed Danny into the ground like the way a football player throws the ball on the ground after making a touchdown.

Danny struggled to get up, but Cobaark just picked him up again and threw him at a wall head-on. Just as he was about to hit it, Danny was able to completely halt his momentum and got back in control of himself. He started charging at Cobaark and prepared to fire another blast from his hands.

When Danny finished charging it up, he fired it at Cobaark and hit him right in the head. Cobaark fell on the ground in pain. Danny went over to him and prepared to fire another blast until another thought came to him.

I'm not crazy, there is SERIOUSLY something wrong about this fight. I KNOW there is. But what is it?...

Trying his best to take advantage of Cobaark's weakened state, Danny ignored the thoughts the best he could. He continued to mercilessly pound Cobaark, as if he was trying to grind Cobaark to a pulp.

After the longest time, Cobaark showed one final form of resistance. He fired a blast at Danny's head, causing Danny to be sent flying backwards. He fell on the ground with his head feeling dizzy after the blast.

Cobaark didn't waste any time. He ran over to Danny and picked him up by the throat. Doing this, he started firing punches and blows to Danny's head. Danny took a few blows until he finally got the sense to go intangible.

After going intangible and being able to go through Cobaark, Danny escaped from Cobaark and got out of his grasp. When Danny turned visible again, he fired a blast of energy so quickly that Cobaark didn't have time to mentally prepare. The pure shock of the blast sent Cobaark flying against a wall. He slowly sunk down to the bottom of the floor and only a few moans were heard from him.

Danny went over to Cobaark as he lay on the floor, helpless. Danny had beaten him; now, if only his dad hadn't inadvertently broken the Fenton Thermos. If he did, he would be able to suck Cobaark into it and not have to worry about him anymore. Then, Danny realized what that feeling was about when he was fighting Cobaark.

Myrus, Danny thought to himself as he stared at Cobaark lying in a heap on the floor. Myrus was standing right there during that fight! How come he wasn't helping Cobaark to take me down?

Danny turned towards Myrus. While Danny and Cobaark were fighting, Myrus had hooked up some wires to himself that came from the computer. Myrus was just staring as Cobaark lay absolutely defensless. In fact, Myrus was grinning. After Danny was breathing heavily from the fight, he saw the words DOWNLOAD COMPLETE appear on the screen.

"Ah, excellent," Myrus said. He ripped off all the wires and then started laughing. (it was a stereotypical evil laugh that villains make when their plan succeeds) He walked over to Cobaark and stood right in front of him.

"M…My lord…" Cobaark managed to choke out. He was barely unconscious after the whooping Danny just gave him. "I…I'm so sorry. I couldn't finish the Ghost Boy…I'm so sorry…"

"Sorry for what!" Myrus snapped, walking over to Cobaark. "Didn't you notice how I wasn't helping you take the Ghost Boy down while you were fighting him?"

"My…my lord, what were you doing? Why didn't you help me? Together…we could have…defeated him…" Cobaark managed to choke out.

"What, you actually thought I expected you to beat him!" Myrus yelled. "Please! You couldn't beat Danny when he only had a fraction of his power. You think I'd expect you to beat Danny when his powers were more dangerous than they were before?"

Danny's eyes opened wide in fear as Myrus revealed this. Did Myrus actually want Cobaark to lose? Why didn't Myrus help?

"While you were busy getting beat by this adolescent," Myrus explained. "I was hooking myself up to the computer that had the Endoplasmic Molecular Vaporizing ability on it…the one you were gracious enough to research for me!"

Cobaark gasped, but it sounded more like a choke. Myrus now had an Endoplasmic Molecular Vaporizing ability (the same one Cobaark had been researching) and could now use it whenever he wanted.

Myrus began slowly advancing towards Cobaark. When he was right in front of Cobaark's practically unconscious body, he opened up his hand and aimed it at Cobaark's head, but kept his hand a few inches away.

"You have truly been a great assistant, Cobaark," Myrus said with an evil smile. "But, now it is time to say good-bye."

"…my lord…"

"Good-bye, Cobaark," Myrus said with no emotion. A bright white light started to form in Myrus' hand, and after a few seconds, a blinding green beam of energy erupted from it. It was the Endoplasmic Molecular Vaporizing beam, and it hit Cobaark square in the head.

Danny gasped breathlessly in shock. He saw Cobaark's body turn bright green, and in less than a second, his body clearly was no longer one solid piece, but now literally millions of small particles. Shortly after this happened, the small particles started to break apart from each other and start to disappear.

Danny watched as all the small green particles that once made up Cobaark's ghostly body floated throughout the entire room. As they drifted further and further away, they all started disappearing into thin air.

Danny was shocked beyond words. Cobaark's body was completely gone when the particles disappeared-something that left an evil grin on Myrus' face.

"Di…did you just destroy a ghost?" Danny asked Myrus very timidly.

The grin stayed on Myrus' face as he slowly started to turn around. "I told you it could dissolve anything, didn't I?" Myrus said. Basically, Myrus was saying "yes", he did kill a ghost with that Endoplasmic Molecular Vaporizer ray.

Danny still stared in shock. In no time, Myrus raised his hand horizontally and pointed it at Danny's face.

"Your turn," Myrus said, starting to from another Endoplasmic Vaporizing ray in his hand.
