A Journey's End… For Now

Chapter Nine

Teaming Up

Kirstyn walked down the footpath that cut across the park. Her scarf blew in the morning breeze, and her hands were warmed by gloves. She looked around, seeing emptiness everywhere. Of course, it was too early for many people to be wandering the park.

Morning, chirped a few birds.
Kirstyn spun around in shock to face them. She smiled and said cheerily, Good morning!

She continued to walk around, looking at places she hadn't noticed before. She found a bush that lead to a bench that sat in front of a small pond. Kirstyn sat down to think aloud.

"My memory is still a bit fuzzy," She sighed. "But I remember what happened when I lost my memory. I just wish I knew what happened that day when we got teleported into the ghost zone last month."

GHOST! Said something in her head.

She looked around but didn't see the pink swirling mist that formed behind her. She sighed and added, "I wish I could live the last two days that we were missing in the ghost zone, except in this world, something happened then, and I want to know."
"So you have wished it," whispered someone. "So shall it be."

Kirstyn gasped and brought a black ring and a pink ring up. The black travelled left, the pink travelled right. She jumped up into the air and glared at the cackling ghost.

"What did you do?" Kirstyn asked.
"I granted your two wishes." Desiree told her.
"Why?" Kirstyn wanted to know.
"Because it might open your eyes," Desiree said. "The bus is coming."
"Bus?" Kirstyn asked.
Desiree rolled her eyes. "The bus that takes you on your trips."
"Where am I going?" Kirstyn asked.
"Since I didn't hear most of your wish, you shall be going to the future, except it shall be deserted." Desiree informed her.
"NO! I ASKED TO STAY IN THIS WORLD!" yelled Kirstyn.

"Ah, the bus is here, hop aboard."

Kirstyn had no choice, she felt herself being pulled away. Before she left the earth, she heard a familiar voice that belonged to Danny shout "Oh, so your back?"

Vlad rubbed the wrist of his arm that used to be handcuffed. He smiled and walked over to a screen. The brats might've broken the spell that Sandman had over Roxy, but they forgot about one special being: Fungus.

She wasn't like most ghosts, or transformers. Because this one special person that had the odd name of a plant without leaves, flowers, or roots, such as a mushroom or mould, had many things in her. She kept this to herself, but when Vlad tested her, he found out that she had mostly transformer, a tiny bit of a mage, a bigger bit of ghost, and a tiny bit of human in her.

She could do some things that others couldn't. She didn't know how strong her power was, and what her abilities were. And hopefully no one would tell her until Vlad had used as much of her power as possible, so she couldn't escape, ever.

Sandman floated in a tank, unconscious. When he had been questioned, and would've died if he tried to tell the truth, Vlad had returned him back to his conservation tank.

Vlad's ghost sense went off and he turned to face a green skinned genie. "Was the wish as I had guessed?" he asked Desiree.

"Yes Master," she bowed. "And I granted the wish."

"Good," Vlad pulled something out of his pocket. "Here it is, the token of life."

"Thankyou so much!" Desiree cried. "I wish to thankyou very much!"

"You served me for ten years," he pointed out. "You deserve something like this, and I don't need it. Now," he turned back to his screen. "Go."

Fiona walked out of Kirstyn's bedroom and knocked on Jazz's door. After a few moments, the door opened slowly and Jazz popped her head around. "Oh," she sighed with relief. "It's just you."

"Who were you expecting?" when Jazz hesitated, Fiona added, "You don't have to answer that. Look, I just came to ask if you knew where Kirstyn might be."

"She went for a walk – I heard her. That was like an hour ago; maybe you should go and look for her." Jazz suggested.

"Alright," Fiona gulped. "Can someone come with me? I don't really want to go alone because I could get hurt."

"DANNY!" Jazz yelled at the top of her lungs.

Danny Fenton's door opened and he rushed out, looking around. "What where and who?" he asked.

"I need you to go with Fiona to the park – she doesn't want to go alone." Jazz told him.

"Oh," he sighed. "Alright then."

"Thankyou." Fiona mumbled.

"One second," Danny rushed off into his room.

Fiona shrugged and used her telekinesis to get her shoes and socks from outside her bedroom door. She pulled on the socks which reached her knees, and put on her white and blue sneakers.

"Ready?" Danny asked as he shut the door to his bedroom.

"Yeah," Fiona replied.

"Then let's go." Danny said.

The two walked out of Fenton Works and down one of the many paths that led to the park. On the way, Danny asked, "Why are we going to the park?"

"Kirstyn is missing – she went for a walk about an hour ago, and now I don't know where she is." Fiona told him.

"OK," Danny said. "But you know she might just be hunting a ghost or something."

"Yeah but I just want to be sure." Fiona told him.

They reached the park quicker than they thought they would. They walked around and checked the secret paths that Danny had learnt since he got his ghost powers. They didn't see Kirstyn, but both sensed a ghost.

"Looking for your sister?" the ghost asked.

"Desiree," gasped Danny. "What did you do to her?"

"I just granted her two wishes." Desiree said. "So that means you will never see your sister again."

"And they were?" Danny asked, ignoring the last part.

"Hmm, something about going back to the future to see what happened." Desiree told him.

Something invisible zapped Danny which made him hold his head and cry out in pain. Fiona sensed a ghost, except this time it was a good one. Danny too sensed a ghost, but was in too much pain to look around. He collapsed onto his hands and knees.

"You shall remember, Danny," whispered a familiar voice. "You need to find a way to save your sister."

Danny looked around cautiously. "Clockwork?"

"I know you can…"

Danny cried out in pain once more, and then it all went away. Blackness came and swallowed him up, only to spit him out a few seconds later. He started to cough, and looked at the two.

"Kirstyn will… die, wont she?" Danny asked.

"You're smarter than I ever gave you credit for. Maybe you might turn out evil after Vlad is done with you. It would be great to have the most powerful… hmm what are you then? Ah, ghost, in the world, on our team." Desiree said.

Danny looked up with eyes full of hatred. "NO! THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN, I'D RATHER DIE!"

"Oh, you will die." Desiree charged up a ghost ray.

Fiona didn't know what she should do. Danny was probably defenceless, but she couldn't do much after all the power she had burned when defeating Vlad. She just stood there, watching the evil ghost that stood before Danny Fenton. Hopefully his parents don't let him leave the house without some ghost hunting gadget, she thought.

Desiree let go of the ray, and it went directly for Danny. He dodged it and others that came towards him. Desiree flew after him so he grabbed a branch and swung around it so he was behind Desiree. He punched her in the face and sent her flying into a building.

"Woah," gasped Fiona. "You're strong."

"Oh give it up Daniel." Desiree spat. "You know that after a matter of time she will know."

"Know what?" Fiona asked.

"That Dan–"

Desiree was knocked down by a pink energy beam. Kelly-Go-Boom floated in the air behind Danny, her hands glowing pink. Desiree got up and sighed – she was used to Kelly interrupting her fights.

"You again." She said.

"Hey, where's Kirst?" Kelly-Go-Boom asked, looking around.

"Didn't you hear?" Fiona sobbed. "She is going to die because Desiree granted some wishes of hers."

KGB gasped and looked at Desiree. The genie disappeared and in her place floated the one and only – Vlad Plasmius. "YOU!" gasped KGB.

"Ha! Ha, ha, ha!" he laughed happily. "I HAVE to try… this!"

Danny looked at the strange man. "I think he's gone crazy."

"He already was," KGB reminded him.

Vlad flew towards Danny and pushed a button on his wrist. When he saw Danny raise an eyebrow, he disappeared as well.

"Uh-oh."

Everyone turned to stare at Roxy, who had been controlled by one of Vlad's mages. "Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh–"

"YOU CAN STOP!" KGB yelled.

"Why Uh-oh?" Danny asked out of curiosity.

"That!" she pointed to Danny's waist.

Two blue rings were forming around it, and they slowly travelled across his body. Fiona watched with wide eyes as Danny Fenton, the geeky loser that people liked to tease, turn into the heroic, secretive ghost Danny Phantom.

KGB fell to the ground, Vlad Plasmius behind her. In his hand he held a small device that Danny knew as the Plasmius Maximus. Two pink rings appeared around her waist, and soon she was no longer Kelly-Go-Boom – she was Kelly Stager.

"Woah," gasped Fiona. "Who ISN'T a ghost or Fregher in this world?"

Kirstyn wrapped her arms around herself, hoping to warm up. It didn't work but she kept them there for comfort. She wandered around slowly, looking at the big screen that was just turning on. On it was Vlad Plasmius' ugly face.

"HELLO, KIRST, I KNOW YOU HAVE RUN BACK TO YOUR LITTLE HOME. I AM GOING TO HAVE TO FIGHT YOU. I HAVE KING DERWICK, QUEEN TAMA, PRINCESS USUBA AND MANY OTHERS ON MY SIDE. I SUGGEST THAT DANNY PHANTOM FROM THE PAST AND FUTURE HELP, BOTH KELLY'S AND EVERYONE ELSE YOU HAVE, THIS WILL BE HARD FOR YOU. WE WILL COME IN A MINUTE; I WILL NOT BE SURPRISED IF EVERYONE KNOWS YOUR SECRET WHEN THIS IS FINISHED. HAVE FUN!"

"What the–?"

Kirstyn looked around and saw no one coming. Nearby she spotted Fenton Works and trotted over to it. She opened the door and looked in to see the lights all turned off.

"Hello?" she called out. "Please, this isn't funny anymore!" she entered the living room. "Come on, come out!"

Nothing. Silence. She saw a note on top of the TV. She ran over to it and grabbed it, her eyes scanning the words on the page.

Kirstyn,

You can stop this. I can't interfere though. You need to work this out on your own. I know what will happen, but I have to tell you, don't be hoping for the best, you need to be ready tomorrow morning when the attack begins.

Clockwork…

"What is going on?" Kirstyn asked no one. "Where is everyone? This has to be a dream, it HAS to be!"

"This is no dream." A voice said. "This is just you living out your nightmare – again."

Goodie, I finished it. I did a good job – I hadn't written anything for a few days and I just went and completed this story. I am so sorry that I was slow updating, but it is the holidays – in Australia – and I've been busy. I hope you liked it! Read and Review

Love Kirst…
