DarkFoxKit: And here it is! The last chapter of The Ultimate Enemy.

Andy: It felt like it's been a long time.

DarkFoxKit: Yup. Yo Andy, what if I brought someone here again?

Andy: What do you mean bringing someone here again?

DarkFoxKit: Oh... nothing. Just thought we could use the extra playmate is all. *smiles*

Andy: ... I don't like that smile, Kit.

DarkFoxKit: Then get used to it. XP Anyways, I'll lead you lovely readers get to the climax of The Ultimate Enemy here. I loved seeing everyone's shocked expression of the twist from the last chapter. Remember how I said originally Dustin was created by Key and he was gonna be the long lost son of Pariah Dark? Well after Key left, I've decided on another route for Dustin. Instead of Pariah Dark's son, I wanted him to be a familiar face to the readers, and perhaps someone they least expected most of all and why Dustin exist in the story at all since he didn't exist in the actual show.

Andy: If you guys go back and read those dreams I had, there are subtle hints about what happened to my future self's ghost half. See if you can find them.

DarkFoxKit: Anyways, I hope you all will enjoy the climax and I look forward to updating more chapters soon! ^^

Chapter 40: Future Andy's Lament

I still couldn't believe it. All this time… Dustin was Future Andy's ghost half? But why did he disguise himself as Dustin and what was he doing in my time period?

I didn't have time to question these things, because Future Andy fired a ghost ray at Danny. I had to protect Danny. Without really thinking about it, I turned myself intangible and flew into Danny's body. I made his body move away from the ghost ray.

Future Andy floated up and said, "Why do you still protect him even after seeing all he's done?"

"He hasn't done any of that and he never will!" I yelled, still in my brother's body. "I saved our family, Danny defeated his evil future self, so he would have no reason to go to Vlad and remove his ghost half!"

"You don't know that, there are too many variables, too many different reasons why he could still go to Vlad and get the same or similar results. The possibility is still there even if the original catalyst was removed. How do you know that it didn't just delay Dan's existence? How do you know that a year from now something else just as tragic won't happen and cause Dan to come to be?" Future Andy said before summoning two fiery fox-skulls, aiming their hostile glare at us.

Because I wanted to keep Danny safe, I transferred some of my own powers into his core to make his body transform. It was a lot easier to maneuver as Danny Phantom rather than as Danny Fenton. The fiery fox skulls blasted their blazing hot beams at us. I remember seeing how they worked in my dreams, so I was prepared for them, but it was still hard to dodge them all since they were so fast.

One of the heat beams grazed my/Danny's right arm, melting the suit and exposing the arm. I let out a hiss of pain. It was like having a super heated knife graze me. To make it worse, this is Danny's body he's hurting.

"Look out!" I was almost too late to dodge, but I managed to fly up, avoiding another heat blast.

What was that just now? I thought I heard Danny's voice.

"Come on bro, we can't lose to your jerky future self. Not after I managed to defeat mine," Danny's voice said with a chuckle.

Danny? How am I hearing you?

"I don't know. When you overshadowed me, I didn't black out, instead it's like I'm just taking a backseat from your control."

Future Andy flew at me with dual plasma swords. I yelped before quickly creating my plasma rod to defend myself against those swords. Future Andy swung his dual swords at me while I was trying my best to keep up to defend myself and Danny. Our weapons clashed with each other, causing ecto sparks to fly.

"He's too fast and hard to hit!" I heard Danny groaning.

Yeah, Future Andy is way too powerful to take on myself.

Future Andy backed off and slammed his two plasma swords together, creating several smaller but sharp looking plasma knives. I paled as the knives floated around him before he sent three of them to attack me. I quickly put up a shield to try and block the incoming knives, but the other few knives flew around my shield. I tried to blast them away with a ghost ray, but another set hit me from behind. The knives didn't stab through me or Danny's body, thankfully, but it did feel like several needles struck my/Danny's back and I fell.

I created a shield below me like a platform to land on since it would be less painful than hitting the road altogether. I hurried to stand just before Future Andy got up to my face. One of the swords slammed into my/Danny's side, but I managed to stay on my shield platform before I retaliated with a ghost ray, blasting Future Andy back a few feet before creating my plasma rod again. Once again, our weapons clashed with each other. But Future Andy had the advantage, he had two weapons and he can still summon those fiery fox skulls.

As if reading my mind, Future Andy summoned a fiery fox skull above us that blasted away my shield platform. My/Danny's feet turned into that wispy tail as I flew away, trying to avoid the heat beams from those flaming fox skulls.

"You may be my past self, Andy, but you lack the experience to face me," Future Andy said as he continued to chase us with those fiery fox skulls. "You can't even use Foxfire yet. Just give it up and let me kill Danny so Dan will never come to be!"

"No! I won't let you kill my brother, even if you are me!" I yelled back.

"Don't you get it yet? The world would be a better place without him!" Future Andy snapped.

"You can't really mean that!" I yelled. "I love my brother, and you should too!"

"I don't care about love," Future Andy said. "In fact I don't care about my family surviving. I've gone on far too long without human emotions to care about that as Dustin, and as Andy I've suppress my real bitterness towards Danny for so long that it had erupted into paranoia. Because of this, all I care about is having a severe threat removed, even if it's at the cost of myself and my timeline's existence."

"No, Future Andy would've never said that… even though he was bitter, I knew he still loved me. That's gotta be Dustin talking right now," Danny said.

Dustin must've given Future Andy all of his bitterness and hatred, overwhelming him. It must've overridden his other emotions.

"Even if I have to kill you along with Dan, then so be it. You are too much of a soft hearted idiot to understand," Future Andy said before he was surrounded in a fiery cloak.

Both Danny and I gasped when we saw the cloak transforming him into a blue fox made of pure ghost fire. He got down on all fours in a quadruped position before running so fast that all I could see was a blue blur. The next thing I knew, Fox Andy was right in front of me before he used his paw to slap me away. His paw left a burning sensation on my/Danny's cheeks. Then I felt something sharp impaling into my ankle. I let out a scream before I could see Fox Andy had bitten down on my ankle and threw me against a building.

I quickly turned us intangible, hoping to avoid more of his attacks. Fox Andy was fast, too fast to keep up with. Of course, intangibility didn't work against the fiery fox skulls for some reason. The heat beam went through us, yes, but the heat was unbearable, so much so I was genuinely worried Danny's body would start melting. I tried to fly away, but I couldn't hold the intangibility and the next thing I knew I was tackled and pinned to the ground by Fox Andy. His touch was scorching Danny's arms. I didn't hesitate to kick the other me's stomach to get him off me.

Fox Andy let out an inhumane and animalistic growl before he summoned two fiery fox skulls beside him. Both he and his flaming fox skulls opened their mouths and began powering up their next attack. I don't think dodging this is an option. He could destroy a lot of buildings with that power. Fox Andy released the attack, which turned into a red, blue and green fire tri beam attack. I summoned the strongest ecto shield I could manage. As soon as the attack hit the shield, it already began to crack. I braced myself just as it shattered and… the only thing that could rival this burning pain was when we were in the ghost portal when it turned on.

When the attack was finally over, I couldn't move Danny's body. Uh-oh… I hope the attack didn't actually killed him!

"It's alright Andy… I've taken back control of my body, that's why you can't move," Danny said.

What? Why?

"That pain isn't something you should bear alone… and… I think I can stop this fight. Just let me talk to him. If he is still you, then I just have to get him to listen. He's not like Dan, he still have his human emotions and reasoning."

Are you sure you can do this, Danny?

"Yes, please trust in me."

… Okay Danny… I trust you.

"Thank you, bro."

I watched as Danny's injured body weakly got back on his feet. There was a flash on his torso and the ring reverted him back to his human form. Probably because his ghost form had taken too much damage.

Fox Andy's flames petered out, having him back to just his ghost form. Future Andy approached the weakened Danny.

"I'm impressed that you survive that," Future Andy said. "That's about my equivalent to Dan's Ghostly Wail. But you won't be standing for long, it's pointless to resist anymore."

"Andy, stop this already," Danny spoke up.

"Hmm?" Future Andy looked into Danny's eyes. "I see, you've taken back control, huh Dan?"

"Andy, you know I'm not Dan. I made a promise to my family that I would never turn into that, including to you," Danny said with as much sincerity in his voice as he could manage.

"How naive, if you think some stupid little promise would-" Future Andy began to say.

"Why are you so sure I would still turn into Dan?" Danny asked, interrupting him. "Is it because you truly think Dan is as inevitable as he said he is, or is it because you just want an excuse to take revenge on everything he's done out on me?"

"Of course Dan will come back! As long as you're still alive, there's always a chance he'll return. Best to get rid of you now before you become an apocalyptic problem later," Future Andy hissed.

"Is that what you really want, Andy?" Danny asked. "And don't you think it's unfair to condemn me for something I never did? How do we know you wouldn't one day turn out to be just as bad as Dan was? Maybe you and Vlad would end up fusing and turning into another Dan instead of me. And people always have a choice, some choices can lead to a bright future while others can lead to a horrible doomed future."

Whoa, when did Danny get so wise?

"I got it from you, bro."

"... You need to be removed. Dan still exist, so you still turn into him despite your words," Future Andy growled.

"Is that what you really think about me, Andy?" Danny asked.

"Huh?" Future Andy frowned.

Danny gave a sad smile, "I've spent time with Future Andy. He may have gotten bitter, but I could tell he still loved and cared for me. He was doing everything he can to protect me and get me back to this timeline to save our friends and family in hopes of making a better future. Even now, I don't think that's really changed, right?"

Future Andy frowned even more before he said, "What makes you think I still care for you?"

"If you didn't, then you wouldn't have been trying so hard to protect me," Danny said before he started stumbling towards him. "You even said it yourself that you didn't want to see Dan as me anymore because he's not me. I'm not Dan, I'm Danny, your twin brother."

Future Andy looked hesitant.

"I know that what happened to you wasn't fair and you suffered probably more than I ever did in your timeline," Danny said. "But you are still Andy, and I know my brother. We used to stick together like glue, we would help each other in class and homework, we would play videogames together with Tucker and Sam, we would ignore Jazz when she started to psychobabble, and try to survive our parents' antics and inventions."

"Shut up!" Future Andy snapped. "That's what I always kept telling you, but you just laughed in my face about it before blasting me!"

"But don't you remember? That wasn't me," Danny said as he stumbled closer to Future Andy. "That wasn't the Danny you spent your childhood with. I am, and I can see that you're hurting. Don't keep bearing everything on yourself, please learn to trust me again, Andy. I want us to be a team like we used to be. I want to help share your burden."

I couldn't help but feel like he was also talking to me about that, and maybe he was.

"Stop it! I don't want to hear anymore of your sentimental prattle!" Future Andy snapped before powering up a ghost ray.

Danny!

Future Andy fired the ghost ray, I gained enough control to create another shield, barely taking the ghost ray since I was so tired. I fell out of Danny's body, still in my ghost form, but tired and weak.

My body couldn't move and I felt I was being lifted up. I saw Danny's body was too. Future Andy was using his telekinesis and time powers on both of us. He threw me and Danny into the wall. I grabbed onto my brother's weakened body and tried to shield him, since I could take more than he can right now. Even though Future Andy was trying to pry Danny away from me with his telekinesis, I held onto Danny, not wanting to let go. Future Andy hissed with impatience as he began to slam me into the road and the walls. I still wouldn't let Danny go.

"What are you doing?" I heard my future self snap. "Let him go!"

"No! I won't!" I yelled back.

"Let him go!" Future Andy lifted both of us up again with his telekinesis.

"Andy…" Danny spoke up.

"Stop looking at me like that!" Future Andy snapped before slamming me into the road while I kept Danny protected.

I looked at Danny before he nodded to me. I helped him up to his feet before my weakened body reverted back to my human form. I let Danny lean on me before I helped him walk towards Future Andy.

"What are you doing?" Future Andy frowned. "Stay away before I kill you!"

"If you're really me, then I know you would never kill Danny," I said. "We care too much for our brother to actually kill him."

"What?" Future Andy glared.

"You've had the power to kill Dan a long time ago, yet you never did, not even as Dustin," I said. "Even now you're trying to justify it in your head, aren't you?"

"What do you two know about me!? Neither of you went through the hell I went through!" Future Andy shouted. "From both sides, as a human and as a ghost, I couldn't stand living that way anymore! And it's all because of Dan!"

"Andy, if you want to take it out on me, then do it," Danny said. "If I had truly caused you that much pain then I deserve whatever punishment you decide to give me."

"Danny, don't say that," I said. "I don't want you to die."

Danny gave me a small, reassuring smile before he looked back to Future Andy and said, "You once told me that even though you couldn't get that peaceful future you wanted, you'd do anything in your power for this Andy to obtain it. But what do you think will happen to this Andy if you do kill me? He might follow in my future self's footsteps and become another Dan."

Future Andy glared. "Then I'll destroy both of you!"

Danny and I braced ourselves as Future Andy summoned two fiery fox skulls and they blasted at us. It hurts… and yet it's not burning. It's hot but not scorching. It's as if he wasn't trying to really hurt us.

The attack stopped and I looked up to see Future Andy still glaring at us, but I could see a glister of tears in his eyes.

"I… I don't want… to see Danny become Dan again. I don't want to live through that hellhole of a timeline anymore. I don't want to always be reminded that Danny had become that psychopathic demon Dan. If it happens again… I don't think I'd…" Future Andy shook his head. "I refuse to let my brother become a demon again!"

Future Andy raised his hand as it glowed with fire and ectoplasm. Danny let go of me and ran forward. I only had time to reach out to him in shock before he wrapped his arms around Future Andy's waist in a hug.

Future Andy froze as Danny hugged him. I was surprised myself, I have never seen my brother get so emotional before, not since we were eight years old.

"I'm so sorry that you suffered so much because of me," Danny said. "I never wanted to hurt you like this. Maybe if I had told you about my ghost powers after I discovered them from the first accident, this never would've happened. I know you care about me, but I want you to know I care about you too. Remember when you almost faded from existence when you saved me? I managed to save you because of how much I love you, Andy. No matter what happens… I will always love you, just like how you loved me."

I couldn't help but feel like he's talking to me too, and maybe he was. Future Andy's arm shook before the ghost energy in his hand dissipated and he brought his arm around Danny's back. I swear, it was like I was watching a cheesy ending to an anime.

Future Andy shut his eyes as tears began to fall. "I'm sorry… Danny… I never wanted this to happen."

I walked over to them, giving both of them a hug.

"You… forgive me too?" Future Andy asked me.

"Well, I've always been one to take things to the extreme," I chuckled. "If Danny can forgive myself, then so can I."

"It's been so long… since I was able to feel this way," Future Andy said. "As Dustin I couldn't remember how to feel like this… and as me, this feeling was only something I could find in my memories. I never want it to end."

I felt Danny hugging my future self tighter.

"But it looks like this is it for me," Future Andy said before he let go of the hug. "The timeline has been changed. The only thing keeping me here is the time medallion around my neck… but once I take it off, I'll cease to exist."

"W-what? Why?" Danny asked.

"Because my timeline no longer exists," Future Andy said. "The moment you kept your family, your friends and your teacher from death's clutches, was the moment my timeline disappeared. The only reason why I'm still here is because of the time medallion. Once that's removed, I will be gone."

"But…" I frowned. "That's…"

"That's… what I wanted. I knew this would happen no matter what. Whether I killed Danny or he succeeded in stopping the death of our friends and family, I was bound to disappear either way," Future Andy said with a smile. "And I'm happy. Dan is gone and the timeline can go on to a better future. I'm no longer needed here. You two stay together, you are stronger when you are united than when you are apart."

Danny and I shook our heads, we didn't want him to disappear, but at the same time would it really be okay to let him continue to exist in a timeline that was no longer his? He didn't have a home anymore. Nobody knew him, and he couldn't live as himself because I'm him too.

"Danny, please go on to be a great hero for everyone," Future Andy said as he grabbed onto the straps of his time medallion. "And Andy… please take care our brother for me."

I nodded and Danny gave him a sad smile.

Future Andy gave both of us a smile before he took off his time medallion, and his body faded away before he said his last words to us. "Maybe there's hope for this future yet."

Danny fell to his knees, looking completely exhausted and hurt.

"D-Danny!" I bend down to help him back up.

"Ugh… I'll be okay…" Danny said as he leaned on me.

I looked over at the Nasty Burger, seeing how it was in pieces. Our parents, Jazz, Tucker, Sam and Mr. Lancer were all lying unconscious. What a mess this place is, that fight probably destroyed more apartments and employee buildings than any other battle before. It would take years to rebuild everything...

"Time Out!"

I blinked and suddenly Clockwork was right in front of us. Danny gasped, probably just as surprised as I was. I had a time medallion around my neck and so did Danny.

"Clockwork?" I said.

"It seems you boys finally put an end to this chapter," Clockwork said.

"You're not going to attack us, right?" Danny asked skeptically.

"No, don't worry. I only did that to drive you two into the future," Clockwork said.

"Clockwork… Not that I'm not happy to see you, but why are you here?" I asked.

"To offer Danny a second chance," Clockwork said.

"A second chance?" Danny asked.

Clockwork nodded with a smile before pushing a button on his time staff. Clocks appeared around us, ticking backwards. Whoa… so this is what traveling in time feels like, not that I hadn't done it before.

We were suddenly back in the classroom of Casper High. I looked around, noticing Mr. Lancer at his desk, and everyone else sitting at their desk doing the C.A.T. Everyone was frozen in time, I could see the clock on the wall wasn't moving either. It was so weird yet cool to see, almost surreal.

I looked over at Clockwork and Danny.

"Perhaps this is for the better," Clockwork said. "The Nasty Burger never explodes, and the people don't lose their homes or jobs from that battle."

I nodded with a smile. "Thanks, Clockwork."

Clockwork turned into a kid before picking up Danny's answer sheet from under his desk, handing it to him.

"You've given everyone else in your life a second chance, why not you?" Clockwork said.

Danny took the answer sheet and gave a smile.

I walked over to Danny and put a hand on his shoulder, smiling encouragingly at him.

"Time In!" Clockwork said as he pushed a button on his time staff before disappearing into a clock-like portal.

Time started moving again. Danny and I didn't have our time medallions on anymore. Clockwork must've removed it when he started time up again. Everyone in their desk looked up at us, probably surprised that we were suddenly standing.

"Mr. Fenton, is there a problem?" I heard Mr. Lancer say.

Turning around, Mr. Lancer was looking at us, but mostly at Danny expectantly.

"You know what you have to do," I said.

Danny nodded before going over to Mr. Lancer. "Actually Mr. Lancer, there is."

I watched him with pride as he put the answer sheet down on the desk in front of Mr. Lancer.

"I found this the other day," Danny said.

"Hmm…" Mr. Lancer looked at the answer sheet and said, "The seal has been broken."

"Yeah, I know, and I'm sorry…" Danny sighed. "I couldn't stop myself from looking at the answers, but I'm not a cheater and I never will be."

Mr. Lancer smiled, "That's what I like to hear from you, Mr. Fenton. You will have plenty of time to study for your remake test in detention."

"Seriously?" Danny smiled.

"Yes, but for now…" Mr. Lancer pointed to the door.

I saw Jazz out there, who was probably watching. She gasped when we looked at the door and she ran off. I couldn't help but smile, getting an idea.

"Hey Danny… maybe it's time you talked to Jazz about… your condition," I said. "The one from the accident."

"What?" Danny looked at me. "Why?"

"Let's just say… I wasn't the only one who discovered your secret that day," I said.

Danny's eyes were wide in shock, probably putting two and two together. I didn't want anymore secrets between Danny, me and Jazz anymore. Danny needed to know that Jazz knew, and they need to talk it out.

"Go on, I'll see you after class." I smiled.

Danny nodded before he left the classroom while I went back to my desk. I was actually glad I could retake the test myself when Clockwork sent us back in time, because I wasn't focused on it last time. This time, maybe I could actually get a decent score.

After about half an hour later, there was a green splat on the window. This caught everyone's attention, Dash was the first one to open the messy window to look outside.

"Hey! It's Danny Phantom!" He said in excitement.

Everyone ran out of their seats to look outside. I decided to join them to see how Danny was doing. I could see Danny sucking up the green splats over on the streets with his Fenton Thermos before looking at us.

"Hey, guess who's back and better than ever?" Danny stated proudly.

Everyone cheered loudly. Tucker and Sam were just smiling at each other while I just shook my head with a chuckle. Despite everything that's happened, it looks like our future is going to be a bright one.

OMNISENSE95: Yes, yes it was.

goddragonking: Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy it.

sjsreader: Heh, you and everyone else didn't see that one coming. I'm glad the hints I left in the story were subtle enough that people didn't expect it. ^^ And to answer you question about if it's always been that way since they first met him, no, it wasn't. Original Dustin was an OC created by by former co-writer Key, and he was supposed to be a snobby rich kid who was shot. Then we changed it to Dustin being Pariah Dark's son, but all mentions/revelations of Dustin being Pariah Dark's son were removed when I posted the chapter of Pariah Dust since I had a better idea for him after Key left. I wanted him to be someone more familiar and explain his actions and why he exist in the story when he doesn't exist in the show at all. So in a way, Key's OC became mine when he left. XD
Yeah, Danny and Andy are really close and care about each other, to the point that they would do anything for the other.
The plot twist was something that later came to mind, and I'm glad it did because I honestly didn't know what to do with Dustin at first after Key left.
Well it was pointless for Dan to reveal Andy's ghost side since Clockwork reversed time, but yeah, that is something he could easily do. And thank you! It brings a smile on my face to see so many people enjoying a story I wrote.

Luna Lillyth: What don't you understand? You'll have to be more specific than that. If it's the fact that Dustin is Future Andy's ghost half, go back and read some of the hints I gave leading up to this reveal. If you still need an explanation, PM me. I rather not explain everything on a review. I think the real final fight for The Ultimate Enemy arc was on this chapter, since the fight between Dan and Danny was basically the same as in the show. And yes, you may hug Andy.

blue: Dustin didn't do anything to Future Andy, all he did was merge back with him since they are technically the same person. Think of Dustin as Ghost Andy and Future Andy as Human Andy. Dustin isn't forcing Andy to kill Danny, Future Andy himself wants this, though as you can see in the end he didn't go through with it. Well, I've only seen bits and pieces of Supernatural, and don't spoil the season finale for me, even if I may or may not ever see it. ^^'
Yeah, poor Chiaki, she did not deserve to die the way she did. Seems everything is going to be okay after the end of Hope Side.

ZAFT Prime: Yup! The idea came to me during the Pariah Dark arc, and I'm glad it did, so I was able to remove any mentions of Dustin being Pariah's long lost son before it was posted and would've been too late to make him Future Andy's ghost half. And good luck with your writing!

RedHood001: No, not evil Andy, just bitter Andy, there is a difference. He's not like Dan where he wants to kill and destroy just because he thinks it's fun and entertaining, he only wanted to kill Danny because he wanted to make sure Dan ceases to exist for good. If I wanted to make an evil Andy, he would look different too.

FoundingRaiderChrona: Glad to hear you enjoyed the chapter. ^^ Sailor Moon had a lot of fun ideas, even if most of the episodes were filler, sometimes I find the fillers to be the best episodes if done right and there were a lot I enjoyed seeing. I'm still not sure if I would play Pokemon Sun or Pokemon Moon first, since I'm not sure which version I want my first playthrough of the Alola region to be. My second playthrough is usually when I do much better since I now know better what to expect, but you only get that first experience once.

Heh, Dustin being Andy's ghost half was an usual idea but an idea I liked since I didn't know what to do with Dustin after Key left. I didn't have anything for Dustin after his 'big reveal' of being Pariah Dark's long lost son since Key was supposed to have plans for him. I've decided not to make Dustin Pariah Dark's son and instead make him a familiar face that nobody was expecting, but the twist shouldn't have just come out of nowhere, I did leave some subtle hints about Dustin being Andy's future ghost half throughout the story near the end and after the Pariah Dark's arc. I'm glad to see this idea later on paid off.

Andy: Going insane isn't a good thing! DX And no, I haven't heard of Hysteria by Nano.

DarkFoxKit: Neither have I, but I'm flattered to know there are songs that can relate to the story I made.

gwencarson126: Yes, it was quite a plot twist. XD And does this chapter answer your Clockwork resetting time question? And thank you, I'm flattered, though it's far from the 'best fanfic ever'. ^^' I still have a lot to improve on.

Just another fan: It started out as a bad time, but it slowly turned into a sober yet satisfying one, at least for me it did. And I love it when fans review, it's like my reward for putting up a new chapter every time. ^^ But you don't have to force yourself if you can't think of what to say, it is still very much appreciated.
Skulker/Technus will always create a device to counter Andy's time power, no matter what it is, since they've had ten years to find a way to counter that specific time power. And I hope you enjoyed this chapter!

spatterson: I don't know how to participate in anything like that. ^^' I think I've made a fool of myself when I tried something similar last time.

xAmethystFox: I'm happy to know the waits are usually worth it. ^^' What nickname are you talking about?
Heh, you're probably one of the very few to put up a spoiler warning in their own review. I can imagine that the dark future we see in the show is a very hard and hellish world to live in, hence Future Andy's bitterness and why he wanted to keep Dan from coming back so badly.
I've been trying to find a spot for Dash and Valerie in The Ultimate Enemy's arc, but this felt more like a personal thing between Danny and Andy, so there wasn't any real spot for Dash and Valerie here. But I do hope I can find a place for them and Andy to hang out again. What was wrong with your comment on The RESET Warfare?

Mana: Well, now you know what happened. XD Yes, Dustin is Andy's future ghost half. Dustin did start out as a separate entity from Andy, but after Key left I didn't know what to do with Dustin and it would be such a waste to just have him for Pariah Dark's arc and never mentioned again. I wanted to make Dustin someone people could feel sorry for or relate to, and that's when I decided he'll be Andy's future ghost self who got lost in time during a fight between future Andy and Dan. If you look back near the end and after Pariah Dark's arc, you'll seem some hints in the story that points to Dustin being future Andy's ghost half.
Well, it makes sense Danny in the canon series would come out unscatched because it's a family friendly show. ^^' And well, Danny didn't come out completely unscatched, he did get beat up quite a bit from the angry future ghosts. Yeah, I'll admit that Danny giving no indication about future Vlad when he saw Vlad again in Secret Weapons was a bit of a let down. I was hoping Danny would've at least tried to talk to Vlad or give him a second chance, but no, Vlad was treated like an every day villain again.
Yeah, I heard about Hurricane Matthew, let's hope Vortex isn't loose or we'll all be in trouble. ^^'

Andy: Wait, when did I say that? Why would I be holding Bearbert? GET THAT THING AWAY FROM ME!
