Chapter Eleven: A Blast from the Future
"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.
"I'm afraid it is." said FSam.
"You! How did you get here!" shouted FValerie.
"You really should have destroyed the time portal when you left." said FDan.
"We would have if we had the time." said FDanny.
"Well your time is up." said FDan as he sent a huge blast at our heroes.
The blast sent them flying into the air and into the rubble around them. FDan and FSam went down to see if Dan was all right.
"Hey past me, we're here to help you beat these losers." said FDan.
"Hold still, I'm going to restore your energy." said FSam.
FSam used her magic powers to restore Dan back to normal; this was a bad turn of events for our heroes.
"Thanks for the save, those brats almost had me." said Dan.
"What are future versions of yourself for?" said FDan.
"For getting their butts kicked!" shouted FDanny as he and the others attacked.
"When will they learn." said FDan as they launched themselves into the melee.
The battle began yet again, but the fact that our heroes were tired and their enemies were fully charged meant this would be one tough battle.
Dan and FDan began by duplicating themselves; this meant they now had to face eight Dan's. Our heroes were tired and FDanny and Vlad barely managed to make two extra copies, while Danny could not make any at all. The Alicia's were still recovering but they still managed to fight, they sent a series of magic blasts at the Dan's, but FSam used her powers to protect them. The Dan's sent ectoblasts, causing our heroes to scatter.
"Where you going? The party has just begun!" said Dan as the duplicates spilt up to chase our heroes.
Two of the Dan's were chasing the Valerie's.
"Valerie, why are you running, don't you want to see your old friend?" said one of the Dan's, laughing cruelly.
"Take this old friend!" shouted FValerie as she shot one of her ghost grenades at the Dan's.
The Dan's dodged this by turning into ghost clouds, and they fired a barrage of ghost energy orbs at the Valerie's. The Valerie's barely managed to dodge this.
"Try this on for size ghost!" yelled Valerie as she took out her ghost bazooka and fired at them.
But the Dan's still managed to dodge this; they just kept coming closer and closer. Finally they were right on top of them. From right behind the Valerie's the two Dan's fired a massive ghost ray. The blast exploded right behind them, causing them to fall off of their hover boards. They slammed into a wall and fell unconscious. With these foes out of the way the Dan's decided to head back to the originals.
Meanwhile down another street two Dan's were chasing the Rob's and Ember's. they were zipping and zagging to avoid the many ectoblasts that they Dan's were firing. Finally the Rob's had had enough and decided to face the Dan's. they landed on the ground and turned to face the oncoming enemy.
"Ok, Ember and Ember, stand back, this is going to get ugly." said FRob.
"Are you sure you can handle this alone?" said Ember.
"I'm sure, just stand back, we don't want you to get hurt." said Rob.
As the Ember's got to cover the Dan's came around the corner. They saw the Rob's floating there in the middle of the street and paused for a second, staring at the two halfas, then they flew full tilt at them.
"Ok kid, I'm going to use an attack I saw future Danny use, I want you to copy it. Think you can do it?" said FRob.
"You forget who your talking to." said Rob.
"Right, here goes. Go ghost lightning!" shouted FRob as he sent the attack at the Dan's Rob quickly copied it and sent the attack also.
The ghostly lightning flew at the Dan's and they had barely enough time to dodge it, the lightning just missed and singed their clothing. The Rob's poured on the attack as the Dan's tried to find a way to block it. Then one of the Dan's noticed a rubber tarp lying on the ground, he smiled as he picked it up and went back to his brother.
They held the tarp in front of them and since rubber doesn't conduct electricity they were protected from the green lightning. But they could not stay under the tarp forever (AN: No matter how much we would want them to), they had to take out the Rob's. Then on of the Dan's noticed a metal rod with a long length of metal wire attached to it lying in the rubble.
The first Dan spoke to the second about the plan he had and the second Dan smiled an evil smile. The first Dan turn intangible and grabbed the end of the metal wire and raced over and attached it to Rob and FRob's feet. The second Dan took the metal pole and stuck it right in the ground in front of him.
Before they could do anything to stop it the ghostly lightning hit the pole and traveled down the metal wire. The lightning hit them at full force, they were engulfed in a sphere of green energy.
"Ahhhhh!" screamed the Rob's as the energy zapped them.
Soon it was too much for them and they fell out of the sky.
"No! Rob!" shouted the Ember's as they raced over to our fallen authors
"Well it seems your husband just doesn't have the same stamina he used to?" said the second Dan.
"Husband?" said Ember.
"We'll talk about it later." said FEmber, as she rose to face the Dan's.
"No one hurts the man I love and gets away with it!" said FEmber.
"Yeah, no one hurts the man I…uh, like as a friend!" said Ember.
The Ember's launched sonic attacks in a fit of fury at the Dan's. But the Dan's easily blocked these attacks and yawned in boredom. Then with one mighty blast the Dan's sent the Ember's and the unconscious forms of the Rob's flying through the air and through the broke window of a mattress store that had conveniently survived the pounding the city had been getting. The Ember's hit the wall and were knocked unconscious, then they all fell on to a king sized mattress that was conveniently placed there. (AN: Don't you love convenient plot devices.)
Seeing their work was finished the Dan's decided to rejoin the originals.
Speaking of the originals they and FSam were having fun battling the Danny's, Sam, and Vlad. They had gotten rid of the FDanny and Vlad duplicates and were starting to win the battle. Our heroes were not doing so well, Sam had been injured in one of the blasts and the Danny's and Vlad were covered with small cuts and bruises.
But they kept fighting, Danny and FDanny kept throwing plasma orbs at the Dan's while Vlad kept hitting them with ghost rays. Sam despite her broken arm was doing her best to keep FSam's magic attacks off of them with a shield. But it was a lost cause because our heroes were quickly tiring and the Dan's and FSam were still ready to fight.
"Give up Danny, you can't win." said Dan.
"Yes, we have you beaten, give up now and we might make your deaths painless." said FDan.
"Yeah, we might do that, but most likely we'll do the opposite." said FSam, as they laughed evilly.
"We'll never give up you monsters." said Danny.
"Yeah, you'll never get us to surrender." said FDanny.
"Uh, about surrendering, do we at least get a last request?" said Vlad, who noticed the Danny's glaring at him.
"Kidding, I was only kidding, of course we will not surrender." said Vlad.
"Yeah, if you want to get us you have to do it over our cold, dead bodies." said Sam.
"What a good idea, turning you into a ghost would make things easier." said Dan.
"You'll never hurt Sam!" shouted Danny as he threw a plasma blast at Dan, which he batted away like it was nothing.
"I was hoping you would try the hard way." said Dan as the battle began again.
Meanwhile back at the U.N. things were still a mess. Technus had take technology from all over the area and had built an army of robots. Our heroes had to bat them off as well as having to deal with Technus and Skulker. They were blasting robots left and right, pieces of metal and electronics forming piles in front of their barricade, but still they kept coming.
"There's hundreds of them, they just keep coming." said Jazz.
"That is right child, my amazing robots will crush you into dust." Said Technus, laughing manically
"Keep firing, we will not let a bunch of ghosts take us down." said Maddie as she destroyed five robots in one shot.
"Yeah, they'll never take us alive!" said Jack.
"Uh dad, I think that's what they had in mind." said FJazz as more robots were created and sent at them.
"I just hope Danny and Valerie are doing ok." said Tucker as he blew up another robot.
Back at the tip of Manhattan the Danny's, Sam, and Vlad were wishing the same thing. They were putting up a brave front but they knew that they were starting to lose. FDanny had brought out his Ghostly fire, but even this was not powerful enough to stop the on slot of the Dan's and FSam. FSam sent another explosive energy orb, this threw or heroes through the air. They landed roughly on the ground, and turned around only to get punched in the face from the Dan's.
"So ready to give up?" said FDan.
"Never." said FDanny, wiping some blood off his face.
"To bad, Sam if you would, capture the girl." said FDan.
"Yes, we wouldn't want her pretty little face to get smashed." Said FSam.
FSam used her powers to trap Sam in a bubble of energy and bring her over to them. Sam pounded on the side of the bubble and hit it with her remaining energy, but it was no use. So Sam decided to insult them instead.
"You pieces of crud, when I get out of here I'm going to kill you!" said Sam.
"Sam, could you keep yourself quiet?" said FDan.
"With pleasure." said FSam.
She sent a surge of energy through the bubble of energy. Sam screamed as the energy ran thorugh her, then she fell limp.
"Sam!" shouted Danny.
Suddenly Danny started to become enraged, without thinking he threw himself at the Dan's in a blind rage.
"Danny! No!" shouted FDanny.
But it was too late, Dan powered up a blast and sent it at Danny. The blast hit him head on and sent him flying into a pile of rubble, knocking him out.
"No! You will pay for that." said FDanny.
"Yeah, he is supposed to be my future son when I get him and his sister and my dear Maddie to join me." said Vlad.
"You're never giving up on that are you?" said FDanny.
"No, I will not stop until I have the family I deserve." said Vlad.
"Oh give it up, you must know by now they will never live with you voluntarily." said FDanny.
"That is why I will capture them, in time they will grow to love me." said Vlad.
"Your insane, like that would actually every work." said FDanny.
"So I'm a little crazy, but that's what happens when you're in true love, not that you would know anything about that." said Vlad.
"Why you…" said FDanny.
"Uh, if you have forgotten you're supposed to be battling us, not each other." said Dan.
Uh, right, we should be fighting them." said FDanny.
"Yeah, them." said Vlad.
They got into a battle stance to face the horrible monsters that had visited so much evil upon the Earth. They flew at the Dan's throwing what remained of their energy into the attack. They threw ectoblast after ectoblast at them. But their heroic effort was in vain for the Dan's were not phased by the weakened attacks. The Dan's punched FDanny and Vlad as they came closer and did not stop. They threw blow after devastating blow. FDanny and Vlad could not stand up to this relentless pounding and they gave up the ghost, so to speak.
They fell from sky and landed in the same pile of rubble Danny was in, they turned back to human as they hit. The Dan's and Sam flew over to mock our fallen heroes.
"Well, it looks like the fat lady will be singing at your funeral." said FDan.
"I wonder if the Lunch Lady is available?" said Dan jokingly, they laughed evilly at this.
The Dan's powered up a huge attack and raised it over their heads. It was a huge ball of energy that pulsed with a dark energy.
"It looks like it is all over now." said Dan.
"It's not over yet." said a voice from nowhere.
Suddenly a dozen blasts of purple energy hit the Dan's and FSam and knocked them away from the Danny's and Vlad. They were blown into a wall and embedded into the surface. As FSam was hit she lost control of the bubble Sam was in and dropped her. Sam plummeted toward the ground, before she hit the figure grabbed her. He flew to the ground and put her down genteelly, Sam opened one of her eyes and saw who it was.
"Its…its you." said Sam.
"Rest now child, I will take care of this." said the figure.
Sam went back to sleep and the figure turned to see the Dan's and Sam had gotten themselves out of the wall, and they didn't look happy.
"Who are you?" shouted FDan.
"I am the one who sows decay and decline through the world, I am the one who rips the souls of the living out and send them to the after life. I am the end, I am the angel of death, I am the Grim Reaper." said Grim.

Ember: Wow, it looks like Dan and crew are in trouble now.
TechnoRob: Yeah, I would hate to be them.
Ember: Almost everyone would hate to be them.
TechnoRob: That is true.
Ember: Well its that time again, time for the chapter summery.
It looks like Danny and friends are on the ropes, the Dan's and Sam have really turned the tide. This may be the end for all of us. But will the arrival of the Angel of Death be enough to turn the tide back in our heroes favor and bring them their final victory? Will our heroes win the day? Will the Earth be safe for future generations? Or will humanity be doomed to a new dark age. If you took my advice to leave the planet before, pack a return bag just incase, for the answer to these questions will come in the next chapter of the Return of Dan.
Ember: So until next time Danny Phantom fans, Read and Review!
