Author: Hey guys, sorry about the slow updates. ^^' I've been obsessed with Undertale and Mother 3 lately, so I've been burned down from Danny Phantom for a while sadly. But I will keep writing, I don't want to abandon Andy and my fans. It'll just take some time before I can get back into the swing of things. Oh and I finally got a new computer. ;)

Blue: Whoa, talk about a close call! DX But I had fun with Andy hallucinating. XD FYI I was listening to Mother 3's Red, Green Yellow, Yellow soundtrack. Look it up if you don't know it, it's craaaaazy. XD

OMNISENSE95: Yup, Andy can finally fly now. ;P And wow, Dustin was just teasing Andy, but it seems you really like that pairing. XD

ZAFT Prime: Awesome, I might check it out! You know, after I take a break from the DP fandom for a while. ^^' And this hand me down is actually pretty new, so I'm happy with. :D

Mana: It was pretty fun writing Andy when he's high. XD It's so contrast to his usual logical nature that it's hard to think he's the same guy. Yes, Dustin sure is interesting.
I understand that the wing thing was a suggestion, but I can't stand putting wings on humanoid creatures, it just doesn't look right to me. But I appreciate the suggestion. Heh, I just gave Andy most of my own personality, so thanks for calling me sweet. ^_^
Yeah, it's a bit tricky to do those episodes when inspiration is low, but I'm sure I'll find a way eventually. I do owe a lot to Identity Crisis for giving me the idea to use a twin, in a way it's one of the reasons why Andy exists.

Luna Lillyth: Blue boy? You mean Andy? Heh, yeah he needed something drastic for him to learn. Low self esteem really makes it difficult for one to learn since they believe they'll fail right away. I should know, I'm one of them. ^^'

sjsreader: Yeeeeah, you'll soon see how messed up Dustin is in the story. ^^' Aww, I'm so flattered that your sister enjoys this so much. It must be torture to have to wait while the author (that's me) have a drought on DP right now. And of course you're mentioned; I answer back to all the kind people who reviews my story, you guys are what keeps me going when I feel like giving up. It reminds me that people enjoy my story and I want to see it through to the end. So even though I'm going through some tough times, I want to be able to write a great story for everyone to enjoy. And I won't spoil anything for future chapters, but I do still have a lot plan for The Ultimate Enemy and I love building up to it, even though the hype may bite me in the butt if it doesn't turn out to be as good as people were hoping. ^^'

gabeandreloewen: LOL

Lizzie2145: Yup, interesting. :3

CalmTheHydreigon: *Is hiding*

anjanishe: Did you mean that in a cute 'aww Andy can fly' way? Or a disappointed one? Cause it's kinda hard to tell through text alone. ^^' I kinda hope it's the former. And well, Andy was hallucinating, can you really blame him for not seeing who's who like that? And uh, hope you're not all out of patience. ^^'

Mimi1012: Yeah. I had a lot of fun writing a high Andy. XD It's not often I can write Andy loosing up and actually acting happy without it seeming a little out of character of him.

Joltik12: It was pretty fun writing Andy like that. XD And as for your question about Dash knowing about Andy being half ghost, that is a maybe right now. I'm not too sure about it yet, but I'm leaning on yes, he will. I don't really have a real reason to keep Dash in the dark, other than I don't have much plans for him right now. Once Andy tells him, Dash will have to be a bigger part of the story, and right now I'm good with where he is. I hope you get into Mother 3 soon, my co-writer is worried that nobody likes it because he's writing it too. So if you ever do, I hope you'll give a supporting comment, but it's up to you. I'm glad you enjoy my books so far, even the unfinished/cancelled ones. ^^'

Captivity: Yeah, I can see that. ^^' Thought I don't know what IGDINZRUBSL is. And yay, I did a good job with Andy being high. XD

Chapter 25: Chaos

As soon as I reached Fenton's Works, I returned to human form. Thankfully there were no witnesses nearby. I ran through the ghost shield my parents put up and opened the door… I see Valerie is in the living room watching the news. Seems the weatherman has to report the machine trying but failing to pierce through the dome.

I wonder where Tucker and Sam are? Did they go home? … No, I doubt they'd go home like this. They might be in the lab helping my parents with the ecto suit thing. Good, so it's just going to be me and her. I took a deep breath and walked over to her before sitting down next to her.

"Hey Val," I said softly.

She turned to me and smiled, "Andy, there you are! You had me worried, you looked like you were really upset with something earlier, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, don't worry about me," I quickly said. "Um…" I looked down at the ring on her finger. "Hey Val… about that ring… who gave it to you?"

She frowned a bit before looking down at the ring, "Well… I would tell you, but… I promised I'd keep it a secret."

"Was it Vlad?" I asked her.

Valerie shot up her head and looked at me in shock, "H-how did you know that?"

"Let's just say I know the man pretty well," I told her. "Listen… that ring… I don't know what Vlad told you about it, but it's dangerous to keep it on you. He's trying to hide it from a dangerous enemy that's looking for it, you really should take it off."

"N-no, Andy, that's not true! Vlad's a great man and he gave me this ring because it's been passed down from ghost hunter to ghost hunter," She said with a frown.

"Is that what he told you? Well since when was Vlad into ghost hunting? And why would the ring have a skull on it if it's meant to be a 'good luck charm' precious heirloom? Don't use emotion to think, Valerie, use logic. You're a smart girl, you should know what's true and what's not. Are you really going to believe a man you just met over your friend?" I asked her in a serious tone.

"..." Valerie gave me a hesitant look. "A-are you sure about this Andy?"

"Would I lie to you about this? I just want you to be safe, Val. I know you can handle yourself, but these are no ordinary ghosts, they are powerful and dangerous. They will stop at nothing until they get that ring you're wearing," I warned her.

"So what do you want me to do? Give it to them? That would just mean more bad news for us," Valerie said.

"No, don't give it to them, but we need a better place to hide it. You can fight these ghosts, but I rather you weren't wearing it when you do," I said to her.

"... You have a point there. It'd be stupid to walk into a thug town with gold in your hands," She said as she was about to take it off.

Suddenly the entire world began shaking… oh no, Danny must've pulled the sword!

"W-what's happening?" I heard Tucker and Sam yelling as they ran into the living room.

We looked at the TV that showed the dome on the news. The weatherman guy, I think his name is Lance Thunder, looked around in shock.

"What's going on? The dome is… it's cracking! Ahhh!"

Lance screamed like a girl as pieces of the dome began falling towards town. Uh-oh, this can't be good… the sky… the sky is gone. The dome began breaking, revealing the 'sky' was black and green… like the ghost zone. And suddenly we could see all the skeleton ghosts marching on and people were panicking and running around.

"RUN PEOPLE! PANIC! WE'RE ALL DOOMED!" Lance screamed into the camera as his shirt was all torn up. I quickly grabbed the remote and shut off the TV, that man really should get another job.

"Andy, where's Danny?" Sam asked me with a worried look on her face.

"Probably in the middle of it all," I said.

"Then shouldn't we do something?" Tucker frowned.

"No, let me, I'll go save your brother Andy," Valerie said as she stood up and groaned in pain.

"No Valerie, you're still hurt!" I quickly said. "I'm sure he'll be fine, but if you go out there-"

"Danny's just a kid Andy, he has no ghost fighting experience like we do. he needs help!" She said stubbornly.

Before I could argue she ran out the door and cringing from the pain, she's going to go out there to save Danny. "Valerie!" I called out to her but to vail as she pushed a button on her watch and automatically put on her ghost gear and red huntress disguise and she took off on her hoverboard.

"That girl is going to get herself killed!" I growled.

"You should go after her Andy!" Sam said urgently. "Hurry!"

I don't know if it'll do any good trying to go after her as a ghost, she'll just want my head, but I still couldn't just let her go out there alone. "Between her and my brother, it's a wonder how they survived this long," I muttered under my breath before running out of the house and transforming into a ghost before taking off into the air.

I was glad that flying became much easier for me, but the problem right now is getting to Valerie and protecting her from the king's army and the king himself if he is here like in my vision.

I could already feel my legs fusing together, turning into that ghostly tail that helped me move faster in the air. I could see Valerie heading out into the football field. Then suddenly Mom and Dad's voice echoed through the city, turning back I could see them on a giant screen TV. How'd they get on Amity Vision?

"Citizens of Amity Park, this is Jack and Maddie Fenton!" Dad said with a serious tone and look on his face that was pretty foreign on a happy go lucky man like him.

Mom ruined it by waving and smiling, "Hi everybody!"

"Malevolent spirits has pulled our world into a dimension known to us humans as the Ghost Zone!" Dad continued.

There was some kind of machine being launched out into the Ghost Zone, before the Ghost Shield began increasing in size, almost making a dome itself… uh-oh… YAH! It slammed me into me and making me stuck there while it continued to expand itself over the city.

"The fact that we're currently in an alternate form of reality would be a lot cooler if we weren't all in mortal danger." I rolled my eyes at that as I was still riding the Ghost Shield.

"For your own safety, please run into the anti-ghost shield. Where our daughter Jazz will be serving tea and cookies! And boys, she's siiiiingle~." I heard Mom say and chuckled when I heard Jazz's embarrassed voice.

"MOM!"

"But more than anything, know this; THIS IS NOT MY FAULT! I REPEAT! THIS IS NOT MY FAULT!" I heard Dad yelling as if he had to prove this whole thing wasn't his fault. It's really stupid to go saying it's not your fault like that since, for one; it makes you sound like a kid trying to get the blame off you and two; it kinda implies that it is your fault when nobody's accusing you of anything. Oh whatever, that's just how Dad is.

The Ghost Shield finally stopped pushing me and covered nearly the entire town, but I could see the football field wasn't covered in the shield and… there's Pariah Dark… holding two unconscious people in his hands; Vlad and Danny… oh no.

"They're ghosts AND humans! Is there no end to this day's surprises?" I heard Pariah announced. Great, if nobody else was in the know that sentence just made no sense.

"Hey stone face! SURPRISE!" Valerie shouted as she came out of nowhere and shot a pink ecto foamer at his eyes, blinding him as he threw down Danny and Vlad.

I smiled as I saw her flying in, but then… she crashed right into a pole… I cringed, that looked painful! I almost flew in to help her, but stopped when I remembered that she was my enemy as a phantom. She tried shooting Pariah Dark with her hand missile, but it shorted out- probably from the crash earlier, and she had to yank the glove off, revealing the ring on her finger.

"The ring! Give that to the king NOW!" The Fright Knight demanded.

This is bad, I knew Valerie was in trouble if she kept that ring. Looks like she was thinking the same thing as she took it off before putting on another missile and taking out her ecto blast gun thing. "You want it? Then go and get it!" She shot the thing into the Ghost Zone.

I gasped when Pariah Dark flew after it, his legs turning into that ghostly tail as he flew past me without noticing I was there. Huh… so there are ghosts who can be both power and speed based. Ignoring that, I looked back to Valerie, seeing her grabbing Danny and Vlad before summoning her hoverboard while the Fright Knight goes after her.

This is it, I can help Valerie by fending off that Fright Knight. I flew up after the Fright Knight as he got on his Pegasus and fired a ghost ray at him.

"What? Who dares challenge the Fright Knight!?" He snapped, turning around to see me. "You? But you're…" He glared. "It matters not who you are, you are causing me trouble."

He raised his sword and before I could react I was suddenly being swarmed by the skeleton army ghosts, I gave a yelp as they tried to flood over me. I flew away from them and turned intangible, hoping I would go through them. Looks like Valerie is on her own after all.

One of the skeleton ghosts managed to grab onto my foot. Ow! It's digging its bony finger into my leg! I fired a ghost ray at its face to get it off me, but then more jumped on me.

"Get off!" I screamed as I created my Plasma Rod and swing it hard at them.

I flew around them to try and keep them from grabbing me, there's way too many of them, I'll never survive if I stay out here! I have to get into the Ghost Shield. I know I can get through there when I'm back in my human form, but I have to get there first.

If only I knew if Valerie is okay, she has my brother and Vlad with her too. I turned around, trying to get to the Ghost Shield.

A group of those skeleton army ghosts suddenly launched themselves in front of me and tackled me to the ground, covering me and pinning me down. They were keeping me powerless so I couldn't go intangible.

I blinked when I just realized I had another vision. And as if on cue the skeleton ghosts jump out in front of me, but I quickly flew in a diagonal, narrowly avoiding them. Wow, these visions can come in handy during battle after all!

I see Valerie up ahead, and the Fright Knight fired a ghost ray with his sword at her hovercraft, causing her to fly down into the road, just a shy away from the shield. The Fright Knight stood over her and the unconscious bodies of Danny and Vlad.

Another vision… and it looks like it's about to happen. I could already see Valerie trying to avoid the ghost rays from Fright Knight who's right behind her. "Valerie!" I called out as I flew towards her. "Look out!"

She turned back to see the Fright Knight firing at the hoverboard, I couldn't reach her in time to stop it from hitting the jets on the hoverboard, she's already going down along with Danny and Vlad. Oh this is bad.

He was about to stab her with his sword, but I thought fast and threw my Plasma Rod right at his armored face, and it hit with a CLANG!

"Ugh! Who dares!?" The Fright Knight hissed when he turned to see me.

The Plasma Rod dissipated and I quickly created a new one before slamming it into him as soon as I had reached the Fright Knight, he acted quickly and raised his sword to block it, both of our weapons collide.

"Pick on someone your own size!" I hissed. "Or in this case; someone who can fight back."

"Impudent brat! Do not interfere!" The Fright Knight snapped at me as he pushed me away.

I flew back before looking at his horse, a better way to distract him would be to get that horse instead of the knight on it. I charged in at Fright Knight again and he held up his sword ready to defend once more, but as soon as I got in close I immediately swung down, right at his steed's foreleg. With a loud SLAM! The ghost Pegasus gave a loud shrill in pain and raised up, throwing the Fright Knight off.

I turned to see Valerie's already gone, along with Danny and Vlad. Good, looks like I've given her enough time to escape into the Ghost Shield. Now I better get in too before I get overwhelmed. Speaking of which, those ghost skeleton armies were coming at me in waves while the Fright Knight was distracted. I glared before I created a big ball with my ghost ray in my hand, then I used it to throw at the wave, creating a scattered mess. While they were all distracted, I ran for the Ghost Shield and transformed back to human, which wasn't hard to do since I was already all but wiped out from that.

As soon as I passed the Ghost Shield I felt relieved and tired. I took this time to stop running and pant with my hands on my knees. At least I'm safe from the ghosts in here… now I just… have to get home… in this sea of panicked people… this is going to be fun.

As I was walking, trying to get pass this crowd of scared people, I began thinking back on that battle.

When I was trying to escape from that wave of ghosts, I had several visions. They used to only come few and far between, but during that entire segment it's as if they kept triggering to warn me of danger. Was it because I was in distress? Do these future visions only occur when I'm in some sort of danger? If only I could figure these out… they could help immensely in the future.

My mind began drifting towards Valerie, Danny and Vlad… I really hope they're okay, those three really looked like they took a beating. I'm glad Valerie was able to rescue them, but now she's hurt even more because of it. I should've stayed with Danny… maybe then I could've saved them myself and spared Valerie the pain.

"Well Andy, great job distracting the Fright Knight and allowing your friends to get away." I gave a glare at that voice… just beside me was Dustin again.

"Don't you ever get tired of stalking me?" I hissed at him.

"Heh, you're fun to mess with," Dustin chuckled. "By watching how you handled the situation outside shows how much of a thinker you are rather than an all out fighter like your hotheaded brother."

"... Wait… we're inside a Ghost Shield… how did you bypass this?" I asked suspiciously, there's no way a regular ghost could get past this shield.

"Why don't you use that brain of yours and think? The Ghost Shield was spreading throughout the city to push away all the ghosts in the area, at the surface it could push away any ghosts," Dustin said, smirking.

I eyed the ocarina in his hand carefully; if he starts playing it I'm going to have to disappear faster than those notes could corrupt my brain again.

"On the surface…? Wait…" I remember the Ghost Shield did indeed spread out through the city to push out the ghosts in the immediate area… but that was only on the surface… and a ghost could easily phase themselves underground to avoid being sent out. "You went underground?"

"I knew you were smart," Dustin said, clapping his hand.

Oh great, not even the Ghost Shield could keep this little bugger out of my hair. "What do you want from me now, Dustin?"

"I was just wondering… how is your telekinesis skills coming along?" He asked me with an intrigued tone.

"... What? I don't know how to use telekinesis." I frowned.

"Then learn. Every ghost can use it, even the smaller ones since they tend to not have hands to grasp something with. It should be easy for someone like you," Dustin said. "It's like manipulating your ghost ray, only you're using your mind to lift something with it. The ghost ray has an invisible string with whatever it is you're trying to pick up, and you can only lift what your own mental strength can carry. If your mind is strong enough you could easily lift a bulldozer as if it were a simple pillow."

"Well I don't exactly have the time or the patience to learn how to use another ghost power right now, not with the entire city in the Ghost Zone and Pariah Dark attacking." I growled.

"True enough, especially since he now has the ring," Dustin said, pointing behind me.

"What!?" I turned to see Pariah not too far away, outside of the Ghost Shield, smiling sinisterly as he put the ring on his finger. The ring and crown on him flashed brightly.

Oh no… was everything we've done… everything I've tried to prevent, for nothing? The dark king now has both the Crown of Fire and the Ring of Rage!

"Now things are going to get interesting." I heard Dustin say behind me, before I felt his hand on my shoulder and his cold face near my ear. "Don't bother trying to stop him now, Andy, everyone is going to die and become a ghost slave to the king."

I slowly turned to Dustin and he gave me a sinister smirk before he disappeared, as if he was never there.

Author: Sorry this chapter was kinda short, but I thought that was a pretty good way to end it after all that action going on. I was watching Reign Storm while I was writing this, to make it more accurate and where to put in Andy. I had some trouble figuring out what to do with Andy, since the story is in his point of view I had to get him into the action somehow without it being contrived or just outright copying whatever was going on in the canon. Andy battling it out with the Fright Knight and the skeleton army was pretty fun, and it gave me better usage of those future visions for battles. It'll definitely give Andy more variety and advantage in the battlefield. Don't worry, I won't abuse it, especially since Andy has no control over when it happens. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter, I am DarkFoxKit and I look forward to hearing from you!
