Chapter Eight: The Battle for Yugopotamia
The two fleets attacked each other. Laser cannon blasts were flying everywhere. The ships attacked and dodged each other as they tried to gain an advantage. The Earth/Phantousian fleet was firing back with all that they had, even though the Yugopotamian fleet was weakened it still was a hard fight. The battle raged but slowly they began to push back the Yugopotamian fleet. The commander of the Earth fleet decided it was time to board the Yugopotamian ships.
"First mate, give the order to board the Yugopotamian ships." said the Admiral.
"Yes sir!" said the first mate.
"All soldiers prepare to board the enemy ships." he said over the intercom.
"Well guys, it looks like its time." said Danny.
"I guess you're right, lets do this." said Sam.
"Yeah, good luck out their guys." said Alicia.
"You too." said Valerie.
"See you guys on Yugopotamia." said Tucker.
"Stay safe you guys, especially you Alicia." said Alex.
"We will." said Alicia.
"Good luck ghost child." said Skulker.
"Yeah, I'll watch your back, it's the least I can do for the kindness you showed me." said Abra Calamity, who they had met on the ship. (From 14 Days in the life of Danny Phantom, chapter one.)
"Attention, all soldiers get to ready stations, the attack begins in 10 minutes." said the intercom.
"Well, this is it." said Danny.
"Good luck Danny." Said Rob.
"Yeah, you better stay alive because you're invited to Rob and mine's wedding when we get back." said Ember.
"I'll try." said Danny.
"Ok troops, its time to move out." said sergeant Galahad.
So everyone went to were they would leave the ship, when the order was given they used their ghost powers to leave the relative safety of the ship and head straight into the battle. before them was the Yugopotamian fleet, battered but still fighting, and behind them was the planet Yugopotamia. They began to fly towards the ships, and the Yugopotamians noticed this.
"Admiral! The Phantousians and Earthlings are sending their troops at us." said a soldier.
"Darn it! Fire the smaller weapons at them, I want them blasted out of space." said the Admiral.
So the Yugopotamians fired at the approaching soldiers, but since they had ghost powers they just went intangible. They began to enter the ships, now you may be wondering why the Yugopotamians don't have ghost shields. Well the Yugopotamians, not being the brightest race in the galaxy, never figured out how to get it to work, even though the Phantousians had been their enemies for years. The soldiers began to take over the ships and one by one they fell.
"Admiral! Their taking over our ships!" said a soldier.
"What! How are they doing that?" said the Admiral.
"They have…chocolate!" said the soldier in fear.
"Oh no." said the Admiral in fear.
Then suddenly the door to the control room burst in and our heroes came in.
"Ok, surrender now! We have candy and we know how to use it!" said Danny.
The Admiral tried to look defiant, but in the face of his greatest fear he could not keep that up for long.
"Ok! We surrender, just please don't use the chocolate, we beg of you!" said the Admiral.
"Good, one down, a hundred to go." said Danny.
Pretty soon the Earthlings and the Phantousians had taken over the whole of the Yugopotamian fleet.
"Your majesty! The humans and Phantousians have taken out our entire fleet with their weapons of chocolaty doom!" said a frantic guard.
"Its happening! Their taking over our world, were all doomed! Ahhhhhhh!" screamed Queen Jipjorulac.
"Fear not my queen, they still have to get by the planetary defenses." said King Gripullon.
The Yugopotamians began to arm their death cannons and aim them straight up. Soon they began to fire into orbit trying to hit the soldiers and ships that were up their. One shot headed straight for one of the Earth ships.
"Sir! A laser is heading straight for the ship, it will destroy the ship!" said the weapons officer.
"Danm, tell the crew to go intangible and abandon ship." said the Captain to the communications officer.
"All crew go intangible and abandon ship." He said over the intercom.
All the crew quickly followed the orders and they got off the ship just as the death ray hit and blew up the ship.
"Oh my god, did you see that!" said Alicia.
"I did, we have to get down there and stop them." said Danny.
So our heroes along with the rest of the army began to fly down to the planet's surface. They flew through the atmosphere of the planet and for the first time got a view of the surface close up. The planet Yugopotamia looked like a place that was designed by people that hated all things beautiful and good.
"This place is a dump." said Valerie.
"Yeah, I would not expect this from an advanced civilization." said Sam.
"What do you expect from a group of people who hate all that is good?" said Alex, just then a blast grazed by him.
"Hey, no one tries to hurt my boyfriend!" said Alicia as blew up the laser cannon with a ghost ray.
"Looks like they aren't going to go without a fight." said Tucker.
"Then lets give it to them." said Danny.
All the soldiers flew at the Yugopotamians and the battle was on. The Yugopotamians fought back, but the candy launching weapons the humans had made them have to retreat. Slowly they were pushed back all across the planet, except in their capital. It seems that they were going to make this their last stand. The line halted as the Yugopotamians refused to move.
"Darn, it seems like they won't give up come hell or chocolate." said Rob.
"Well it is their capital, I don't think they will give it up that easily." said Sam.
"Troops, this is starting to look bad, if the advance falters we will be stuck here for who knows ho long. If there was only a way to punch a hole in the lines?" said the sergeant.
"Wait sir that's it, we can punch a hole through the lines." said Danny.
"With what?" said the sergeant.
"With my ghostly wail and Ember's sonic attacks, that should make a big hole in the Yugopotamians lines." said Danny.
"Ok, if you think it will work then go ahead." said the sergeant.
"Ok Ember, we need to time this just right, so on my signal we attack, ok?" said Danny.
"I'm ready when you are." said Ember.
Danny waited for the fire coming from the Yugopotamians side to calm down alittle, then they made their move.
"Ok, now!" said Danny.
They jumped up and before anyone knew what had happened the attack began. Danny's ghostly wail and embers sonic attacks flew towards the Yugopotamians line. The force of the blast sent the Yugopotamians flying through the air, even the tank like machines were thrown around like toys. Soon there was a huge hole in the lines.
"My god, it actually worked, well don't just stand there like idiots. They just opened the door for us, charge!" said the sergeant.
All the soldiers began to run towards the hole in the line. The Yugopotamians, after seeing what had happened, finally came out of their stupor and started to fire on the advancing army. But it was too late, too many of the Earth/Phantousian soldiers had gotten through. The Yugopotamians were now in full retreat as the soldiers advanced. Soon the Earthlings and Phantousians had gotten into the city and were making their way to the royal palace. In the royal palace there was panic as the battle was going against the Yugopotamians.
"Your majesty! The humans are breaking into the city!" said one soldier.
"Your majesty! They have taken over half the planet!" said another.
"Your majesty! Our forces are in full retreat, we can't stand up to their candy based weaponry!" said one more.
The king listened to all this and was in a state of shock. In all the years that Yugopotamian civilization had existed they had never been in such a bad situation. This was the day that they had feared ever since they found Earth and its abundance of evil, sugary treats. The Queen had long ago started to run around screaming that the end was near, and the king was beginning to agree with her.
"What do we do your highness?" said one of the generals.
The king finally realized someone was asking him for orders, and now he had to say the one thing that no king of Yugopotamia ever thought they would have to say.
"Tell the troops to ceasefire, then call the humans and Phantousians and ask them…for terms of surrender." said the king, his head held low.
The soldier was shocked, but followed the orders of his king.
"Its over, its all over." said King Gripullon sadly.
Meanwhile outside the battle was still raging. The Earth/Phantousian army was in the city and fighting building to building. As they were fighting the fire from the Yugopotamian side began to slow down, then it stopped.
"What's going on?" said Danny.
"They stopped firing for some reason." said Sam.
"Maybe it's some sort of trick." said Valerie.
"Yeah, they could be trying to lull us into a false sense of security." said Alicia.
Then a messenger from HQ came running up to the front lines. He ran to the line yelling frantically.
"The war is over! The Yugopotamians have surrendered, the war is over!" said Poindexter.
It took a few seconds for these words to sink in, then the Earthlings and Phantousians let out a mighty cheer. They began to celebrate and our heroes hugged each other.
"My god! It's finally over!" said Tucker.
"Its over, we can go home now." said Alex, as Alicia kissed him.
Soon all our heroes were kissing, relieved that the fighting had ended and they could now go home.

Hello again fellow Danny Phanatics, this is Rob Phantom. I come to you saying that things are still bad in my neck of the woods. My grandfather has just gotten out of surgery and is now recovering. I'm a little scared about what will happen next, I don't know what could happen. But now to lift everyone's spirits I turn it back over to Clockwork, so he can pull the hurt Vlad lever.
Clockwork: Thank you Rob. Clockwork pulls the hurt Vlad lever. On the TV screen we can see Vlad kissing Spectra again (God, could they get a room or something!). Then suddenly Vlad is attacked by a very ticked off moose. The moose hits him and sends him flying out of the room and into a dumpster full of garbage.
Vlad: Can't I have a moment of peace! (Not in this fanfic you can't!) then the Fluffy Army of Doom surrounds him.
Vlad: I guess that is a no. Then the Fluffy Army of Doom attacks, providing the daily recommended amount of Vlad getting hurt we all need.
Clockwork: I hope you all enjoyed that and now the chapter summery.
Finally the war is over, and the Earth won. Now our heroes can go back home and live a normal life, well as normal as living on a world populated by ghosts. There is one chapter left, it will be a short one and we will see what Danny and his friends have to deal with back home.
Clockwork: So until next time Danny Phantom fans, read and review.
