Chapter Ten: We're Gonna Burn this City

We rejoin our heroes as they begin the battle to decide the fate of the Earth. Dan began with a barrage of ectoblasts and Sam used her magic powers to hurl a bus at Danny and the others. Our heroes scattered as the blasts and bus impact left a huge hole where they were standing.

"It will take a lot more then that to get rid of us." said Danny.

"That was just the warm up, prepare for the real show." said Dan.

He and Sam began to throw ectoblasts and Ghost rays at our heroes, who responded in kind. Ember sent a blast from her guitar at them, ripping up the street. It exploded right in front of them, but they jumped out of the way. Danny, Ember, Alicia, Valerie, began to up the attack, throwing every attack they knew at them, along with their future counterparts.

Jazz, Tucker, Rob, their future counterparts, and Alex began to use the ghost weapons and powers they had to give Dan and Sam a hard time.

Jack, Maddie, Vlad, and Valerie's father were making sure that Dan and Sam could not get away and try to sneak attack.

It was at this point Dan made a decision.

"This isn't working; we have to divide them, Skulker! Technus! Take the humans, me and Sam will handle the annoying brats.

"Yes sir." said Skulker and Technus as they began to attack, this left Dan to face Danny and his group.

"Well, it looks like I have a chance to use my ghostly wail." said Dan.

Dan opened his mouth and let out his ghostly wail. Since Danny and the others were flying at the time the shock wave blew them through the air. Dan kept it up until they were all the way at the lower tip of Manhattan, where they crashed into the ground.

"Damn, I hate that thing." said FEmber as our heroes tried to get back up

"Oh I don't know? I think it's charming." said Sam.

Danny and the others quickly got back up and back into battle mode.

"You think your so funny, don't you?" said FAlicia.

"Yes, yes I do." said Dan.

"Well laugh at this!" shouted Alicia.

Both Alicia's used her powers to hurl a Gas truck at Dan, which sent him crashing into a building. The fuel spilled out of the truck as Dan lay in a huge puddle of it. His hair set the gas on fire causing a huge explosion which totaled the building, which fell on him.

Well that should take care of that, now all we have to do is get Dan in the thermos and then…." said Danny, but as he was speaking they heard a rumbling sound.

Dan burst out of the ground in the middle of the street, holding up a section of subway cars and looking really pissed.

"I think we got his attention." said Valerie.

"Yeah, but suddenly I don't want it." said FValerie.

"Let's play a little game of catch the subway cars, catch!" said Dan.

Dan threw the subway cars at our heroes; they came down with a crash and exploded. This sent them flying. Alicia and FAlicia went smashing into a wall and fell to the ground unconscious. Ember and FEmber were blown into a bus stand, and Sam seeing this quickly used her powers to encase them in metal from the subway car and make it ghost proof, trapping them. Danny, Valerie, FDanny and FValerie were the only ones left standing.

"Well it looks like we are down to the last of the losers." said Dan

"Valerie's, I want you to get the Alicia's out of here." said Danny.

"But…" said Valerie.

"No buts, we need to get them out of the battle zone, this is about to get messy." Said FDanny.

The Valerie's hesitated but them flew over to the Alicia's and picked them up, then flew off with them.

"Hey kid, you know how to duplicate your form yet?" said FDanny.

"I can make a second one of me." said Danny.

"Well we're gonna need all the help we can get." said FDanny

FDanny then duplicated himself into four FDanny's, while Danny produced another one of himself.

"So you're trying to out number me? That trick won't work on me." said Dan as he made four of himself.

"Well I have a few tricks up my sleeve." said FDanny.

The FDanny's sent an attack at Dan that was unlike any Danny had seen before, it looked like green lightning. The attack hit the Dan's sending them flying into several buildings, leaving huge holes in them.

"What was that?" said one of the Danny's.

"That was ghost lightning. Cool isn't it?" said one of the FDanny's.

"I'll say." said the one of the Danny's.

"Well see how you like this!" shouted Dan as he and his duplicates came back into view.

The Dan's began to throw huge ectoenergy orbs at the Danny's causing them to scatter. The Dan's were giving it their all as they destroyed the area trying to get the Danny's. Meanwhile the original Danny and FDanny were sitting behind an overturned bus talking.

"Ok, we need to hit him hard, you attack him from below, I'll come at him from above." said FDanny.

"Ok." said Danny as he and his duplicate sank into the ground.

Danny and his duplicate shot out of the ground below the Dan's sending a series blasts that sent them flying into the sky. This sent them flying right at the FDanny's, who used a new attack.

"Go Ghost Fire!" shouted the FDanny's

The FDanny's summoned fire balls to their hands and launched them at the Dan's. this set them on fire and all the duplicates disappear. FDanny sent a blast at Dan that sent him crashing into the ground, ripping up the asphalt as he went. The Danny's and FDanny's went down to see the battered and chared form of Dan.

"Well it looks like it is all over now." said Danny.

"Yeah, for you two!" said Sam as she sent a blast at them.

The blast hit our heroes and destroyed their duplicates. They fell from the sky and landed hard on the ground.

"You didn't think this would be easy did you?" said Sam.

"Yeah, we sort of did." said Danny.

"Well let us remove that delusion of yours." said Dan as he got up and the battle started again.

Meanwhile back at the U.N. our other group of heroes was dealing with Skulker and Technus. They had set up a barricade out of the wrecked cars and pieces of building that littered the area, from which they fired at the two ghosts. The area looked like it had been hit with bomb; buildings were wrecked or completely demolished. In fact the U.N. tower itself had toppled into the East River when one of Vlad and Rob's blasts had sent the robot suited Technus into it, causing it to fall like a domino. At the moment they were trying to knock out Skulker, who kept launching missiles at them.

"Why won't he go down!" shouted Maddie.

"He's the Ghost Zone greatest hunter, which means he's really good at fighting." said Jazz.

"Yeah, but he can't keep this up forever." said FJazz as she shot a laser blast at Technus.

"We have to take them down, I think Danny and the others may need our help." said Rob as they saw another explosion come from where Danny was.

"Your right, you, future Rob and Vlad go over and help Danny, we'll take care of these ghosts." said Maddie.

"Are you sure about that Mrs. Fenton?" said FRob.

"I'm sure, now go!" said Maddie as she blasted the arm of Technus's robot suit off.

"Good luck dude." Said Tucker.

"Hey Vlad! You better bring my son back alive or I'm going to test me next invention on you." said Jack.

"Uh, right, I'll try to remember that." said Vlad nervously.

"Be careful you two." said Jazz and FJazz to Rob and FRob.

"We will, lets go you guys." said FRob.

Tucker, Jazz, FTucker, and FJazz gave them cover fire as the three halfas flew off to help Danny and FDanny. As they flew off FTucker turned to Maddie.

"Do you think we'll win this fight?" said FTucker

"We have too, I will not let this city fall to this monsters." said Maddie as she fired another anti-ghost mortar at Technus.

Not that there was much of a city to save. The battle had destroyed large swaths of lower Manhattan; whole blocks were nothing but rubble. The blasts that had missed had landed in other places, starting fires. With no one to stop them the fires were out of control and huge fires burned throughout the city. The Rob's and Vlad flew over this ruined city.

"Damn, we certainly did a number on this place." said FRob.

"Yeah, and I wanted to go to the Natural History Museum too." said Rob.

"Well that's near Central Park so it should be fine." said FRob.

"Uh, I hate to interrupt this conversation but we're here." said Vlad.

They looked down to see Danny and FDanny battling Dan and Sam. From the looks of it they were having a hard time. Rob and FRob sent blasts at Dan and Sam, which knocked them off of the Danny's. They flew down to see if they needed any help.

"You two ok?" said Rob.

The two Danny's glared at Rob.

"Sorry, standard question." said Rob.

"You guys look like you could use some help." said FRob.

"No, we don't need help, we're just lulling Dan into a false sense of security." said FDanny sarcastically.

"Daniel, I think we need to concentrate on the matter at hand." said Vlad, pointing to the very angry Dan and Sam.

"So Vlad and Rob decided to show their faces, this just got a lot more interesting." said Dan as he cracked his knuckles.

"I was just about to say the same thing." Said FDanny as he got into a fighting stance.

"Ok, Me, Danny, future Rob and Vlad will take on these two, Rob I want you to free the Embers from that bus stop." Said FDanny, pointing to the bus stop Sam had trapped them in.

"Right." said Rob as he flew over to it.

"Hey? Where are the Valerie's?" said FRob.

"They had to take the Alicia's out of here, Dan and Sam hurt them a lot." said Danny.

"What! No one hurts my OC characters!" said FRob, causing everyone to look at him funny.

"Uh, I mean, no one hurts someone on my team!" said FRob quickly, everyone bought it.

"Lets rock." Said FDanny as he sent more ghost lightning at Dan and Sam.

Thus the battle began again, Dan and Sam ducked out of the way of the lightning. But this put Dan right in the path of Vlad's ectoblast attack, which knocked him back. FRob transformed into the Aragon dragon and began to breathe fire on them and swipe at them with his huge claws.

While this was going one Rob was at the bus stop turned ghost prison, trying to figure how to get then out. He tried to touch it but the metal shocked him.

"Damn! I have to figure a way to free them." said Rob.

"Maybe I can help?" said FValerie, who had finally returned.

"Future Valerie, I'm glad you're here, where is present Valerie and the Alicia's?" said Rob.

"She is taking care of the Alicia's right now, they got hit pretty bad." said FValerie.

"Well their in good hands, but right now we have to get the Embers out of this thing." said Rob.

"Maybe if I blast it." said FValerie as she brought out here Ghost Bazooka.

"No! You might hurt them! We have to figure out another way." said Rob.

Rob thought about it for a minute and then he got an idea.

"I got it, my shape shifter powers are separate from my ghost powers, so I can use them on this thing. Ember's can you hear me?" said Rob.

"Yeah, we can hear you." said Ember.

"Yeah, and tell Valerie out there we didn't appreciate her blow us up idea." said FEmber.

"Ok you two, I want you to stand back, I'm going to try something." said Rob.

"Ok." said the Ember's.

As soon as they said that Rob used his shape shifter powers to transform into a giant can opener. He then used himself to open the metal wall of the container and the Ember's were free.

"Nice work smart guy." said Ember.

"Aw, it was nothing." said Rob blushing, then he noticed a blast head their way.

"Look out!" shouted Rob.

He grabbed Ember and got her out of the way just as the blast hit. They rolled along the ground until they came to a stop with Rob on top of Ember. They stared at each other as a bright red blush came to their faces.

"You saved me." said Ember.

"Yeah, I guess I did." said Rob.

"Hey you two, we got an evil ghost to fight, you can play kissy face later." said FValerie.

At this Rob and Ember quickly untangled themselves and got back up.

"Uh, sorry about that." said Rob.

"That's ok, its no big deal." said Ember.

They flew off to help the Danny's and Vlad. Vlad and FDanny had duplicated themselves and were trying to bash in the heads of Dan and his duplicates. Danny was battling Sam with the help of FRob, who was still a dragon. Danny was riding on top of FRob and sending ectoblasts at Sam while FRob sent fireballs at her. Sam used her magic to block most of these, although blocking paws the size of small cars was much harder.

"Ok, past Rob and Ember help future Danny and Vlad, future Ember, you're with me." said FValerie.

Past Rob and Ember zoomed over to help FDanny and Vlad. Rob starts to blast at the Dan's duplicates while Ember sends a sonic blast at them with her guitar. This destroys the duplicates and sent Dan smashing into the ground.

"Need some help?" said Rob.

"Yeah, you could say that." said FDanny.

"Well hold on baby pop, because we're about to rock the house." said Ember.

"We'll see how much rocking you do in the afterlife!" said Dan as he came back and sent a barrage of blasts at our heroes.

They dodged the blasts and responded to them with four times the fire power. Vlad sent ectoenergy orbs, FDanny used something that looked like a ghostly tornado, and Ember hit him with another energy blast. This sent Dan flying through the air, and then Rob noticed something on Dan's belt. As he was flying through the air Rob raced over and tackled him.

"What the hell are you doing?" said Dan as he threw Rob over his shoulder.

"I'm just getting something to help us win." said Rob as he held up the age changing ray gun and the evil ray gun.

"The ray guns!" shouted Dan in dismay.

"Yeah, and guess what I'm going to do with them. Hey Danny! Catch!" said Rob as he threw them at Danny. Danny caught them out of the air and quickly realized what they were; a smile crossed his face as he turned to face Sam.

"Uh oh." said Sam as she backed up.

"Its time to get my girlfriend back." said Danny as he fired the ray guns.

Sam tried to avoid the rays, but it was too late. The rays hit her and began to change her back to her normal, 16 year old, non-evil self. Soon she was completely back to normal, she started to fall over, but Danny caught her. He held her in his arms as she began to wake up.

"My god, the kid did it." said FDanny.

"Da-Danny?" said Sam.

"I'm here Sam, I got you." Said Danny.

"Oh, Danny! I'm so sorry, I did such terrible things, I was to weak!" said Sam as she began to cry.

"It's not your fault, you were under the influence of Dan and his evil ray gun." said Danny.

"Dan…Oh my god, I kissed that monster!" said Sam.

She ran into a convenience store that had miraculously survived the battle so far. There she got a bottle of mouthwash and began to rinse the horrible taste of Dan from her mouth. After about 10 minutes of this she came back out looking really pissed. She turned on Dan and gave him a look that would have sent a pack of ghost wolves running for the hills. He turned an even deathlier shade of pale as she stomped over to him.

"You monster, you turn me evil and set me loose against everything I care about. You make me try to destroy my friends, my town, and my world. You make me hurt innocent people, but do you know what the worst part is?" said Sam.

"No." said Dan, trying to sound brave in the face of the demon-like girl in front of him.

"You made me hate Danny." said Sam.

Sam summoned a ball of energy to her hand, it grew until it looked like a miniature sun, then she threw it at Dan. The blast carried him through at least 8 buildings before it hit the ground and created a gigantic explosion. At this point Valerie and the Alicia's had finally returned. They got there just as Sam released her attack and sent Dan flying.

"Wow, it looks like Sam is back to normal." said Valerie.

"Yeah, I almost feel sorry for Dan, almost." said Alicia.

"Lets go add insult to injury." said FAlicia.

The three girls came up to the group.

"Hey guys, we're back." said Valerie.

"Good, how are you Alicia and Alicia?" said FDanny.

"We're fine, but I can't say the same for Dan, that was one hell of a attack." said Alicia.

"Its only the beginning, we're going to make Dan pay for what he did." said Sam.

"I really missed the old Sam." said FAlicia.

"We all did, now lets go kick Dan's butt." said FDanny.

They flew over to Dan who was getting himself out of the rubble. He looked up to see all of our heroes looking at him, looking really angry.

"Oh crap." said Dan.

To make a long beating short they knocked the stuffing out of Dan. Dan was laying on the ground bruised and scratched up with burns allover his body. Danny stood over him with the Fenton Thermos.

"It's over Dan." said Danny.

"It's not over until the fat lady sings Danny." said a voice from above.

They looked up to see two ghosts that looked familiar floating above them.

"My god, it can't be!" said FDanny.
