At FentonWorks, the sky was dark, and it was night.
"All clear, Danny." Tucker said.
Tucker was in the lab by a giant console, peering up the staircase as he peeked around the corner. Danny stood in front of the deactivated Fenton Portal with his hands on his hips. Danny's white suit was hanging on a hook next to Kurai. Kurai was by a console next to the portal, examining the gauges. Cables ran all over the floor.
"Cool." Danny looked to the Portal. "How's it going over there?"
Kurai turned three dials expertly and pressed several buttons. "Pretty good. Looks like we're all set."
"Are you sure about this?" Kurai looked at Danny again, wishing he didn't have to shoulder this burden.
Danny looked into the chamber of the Portal, a hand in his hair on his forehead considering it.
"No." Danny put his hands behind him to refer to something in the past. "But you saw those things, those monsters ghosts! Those ghosts are attacking this world. Besides..." Danny smiled with curiosity as he looked inside. "I always wanted to go in here. Who knows what kind of awesome, super-cool things exist on the other side of that portal?"
Kurai and Tucker were by the gauges. Kurai held Danny's white jumpsuit with Jack Fenton's face on it by the shoulders. She threw it off.
Danny stood on a cable snaking into the chamber. He caught the suit by the shoulders, looking down at it.
Kurai pressed a square, blue button on it. It lit up and beeped.
Danny was now in the jumpsuit, his hand on the zipper. "Well, here goes everything."
Kurai took an emblem out of her pocket and walked over.
"Wait a minute." Kurai peeled off Jack Fenton's face and stuck the black emblem on.
Danny looked down. "Uh, what is that?"
Kurai Reassured Danny by putting her hands on her hips. "Just trust me, okay?"
Danny stepped in and looking over his shoulder into the Portal's depths.
Danny walked into the Portal, carefully and slowly.
Danny reached out and found the red and green buttons, reaching for the green "ON." Danny pressed the green one. It beeped.
The whole chamber filled with green light, zapping Danny and spilling the extra light into the lap. Danny screamed with hideous amounts of pain.
Light spilled out of the portal in white photons and made the lab all green.
Tucker and Kurai's eyes were shut tight due to all the light. They braced themselves.
Danny was in a wave of radiation, his hands up. He flickered, showing his internal skeleton as he flickered back, showing that he was now Danny Phantom, his suit colors reversed, his hair white and his eyes green, but that hasn't stopped him from screaming any.
Kurai looked over at the read-out of Danny's DNA.
Some green ectoplasmic blobs with red eyes and a mouth (Ghost DNA) dove onto it, smothering the strand in its ectoplasmic influence as the strand ends and spiralled off.
Danny flashed from full color to monochromatic green as he spirals into the black further away while green shock waves assaulted him in the background.
This all faded away to a cloud of green smoke. It cleared to show Danny's chest, which now has a white, DP logo on it that Kurai stuck on. Danny Phantom was now in front of the now active and open Fenton Portal, the back of his neck and both of his boots steaming with white. He opened his eyes, not knowing what happened. He looked down at himself. Then he put his hand together in front of him to observe them.
Danny's gloves flickered for a full, long second to show Danny's skeleton beneath it, then faded back to solid gloves.
Danny scrambled out of the Portal, putting his hands on the metal rim. He was panting heavily.
Danny had his hands on the rim of the Portal. He was smoking. He bent his knees and sat on the floor, then put his hand down to support him bending over as he put his other hand on his face. The smoke on him cleared. Kurai ran up and turned to him, concerned.
"Danny, are you-?" Kurai asked.
Danny's hand covered his face. Kurai put her hands under his armpits and supported him up. Danny yawned. He unconsciously turned intangible and Kurai's hands wisped through, she stepped away as Danny resumed his color.
Kurai stepped back as the intangible ghostly wisps faded from her hands.
"You're a ghost!" Kurai transformed into Khione and floated next to him. "Like me!"
Danny looked at himself in front of the portal. Khione floated and grinned. Tucker stared at both of them.
"You're right!" Danny Looked up, amazed. "I am a ghost! Cool!" He seemed confused if he should think that way. "Is this cool?"
Khione patted her hand on the emblem she put on his chest. "Oh, it's very cool."
Khione removed her hand and both she and Danny's eyes widened in shock at a voice calling out to them.
"What's going on down there?" Jack called.
"Oh man, your dad!" Khione transformed back in a whirl of ice and fire. Kurai raised her arms in urgency. "You've got to change back to normal!"
Danny didn't know how to do this. "Change back?" Danny Arched his eyebrows. "How?"
"Concentrate, Danny! Focus on your humanity!" Kurai said.
"WHAT?!" Danny exclaimed.
Jack peeked in. He marched downward. Jack was in the lab, Tucker beside the stairs hidden from Jack's view. Jack and Tucker turn to the left. Jack gasped.
Danny Fenton held a totally confused Kurai by the arm so she was leaning under him. They were kissing passionately under the Fenton Portal. The Fenton Portal behind them swirled in to a heart shape.
Danny stopped, whispering to her. "I call that a "fake-out make-out"."
Kurai blushed. Danny blushed.
Danny let go so they both stood up and turned, as Tucker and Jack walk in.
"You're in a lot of trouble, mister!" Jack shouted. "And who the heck are you?"
Kurai grinned. "I'm Paulina!"
"Then Danny Fenton is never, ever allowed to see you, Paulina." Jack commanded.
Kurai smiled gleefully. She hated that plastic girl.
