Dark Danny was frowning down at the trio, who stare back up in shock. Danny got up and helped Kurai to her feet. Dark Danny landed on the street and put his fists on his hips.
Tucker Foley. It's been a while. Ten years, to be accurate. And my beautiful Queen, always an honor." Dark Danny Raised a hand, he swept it down, and Kurai and Tucker were encased, motionless, in green light. "So, to what do I owe this little blast from the past?" His eyes widened as he noticed Tucker's CW medallion. "Clockwork. Meddling again."
He began to raise his arm, but a purple blast from Kurai knocked him into the street. As he stumbled up and waved the smoke away, Kurai, now Khione, was protecting her young friends.
Scowling, Dark Danny got to his feet and charges. Kurai attacked him using her ice powers, but he transforms to a green, blobby form and they passed through him. She fired her plasma powers, but he was too fast and grabs her by both wrists. Meanwhile, Danny bursts forward with a cry. Dark Danny lifted Khione with one hand and punched her with the other, sending her bouncing off the pavement. He followed as she props herself on one hand and one elbow
"This is the moment." Dark Danny reached for her. "The moment when I make you mine."
"KHIONE" Danny lunged forward.
Danny flew and caught Khione around the middle, making them fly intangibly through a few buildings before crash-landing in the street on the other side in a tangle.
"I-I can see why he—I'm obsessed with you." Danny said, embarrassed.
Khione chuckled.
"You are the only reason I continued to refuse him." Khione admitted. "I couldn't bear to be with him; it mocked the memory of the hero I still love."
The two stared at each other; then Danny spoke up. "Wow, an older woman likes me."
Meanwhile, Dark Danny was threatening Tucker.
"You know, if I had an ounce of humanity left in me," Dark Danny walked around Tucker, still trapped in the green light. "this would be a touching little reunion." Tucker looked nervous. "But of course I surrendered my human half a long time ago."
Behind him, Danny rose invisibly from the street, teeth gritted and fists clenched. Dark Danny's ghost sense went off as tendrils of red smoke came from his nostrils.
"Oh, please." Dark Danny said.
He turned and punched an ectoblast at Danny, who returned in kind. Both were knocked down by the other's blast, and the green light trapping Tucker vanished, dropping him to the street as well.
"Tucker! Kurai! Run!" Danny said, panicked.
Kurai grabbed Tucker and they ran.
Dark Danny was back on his feet. "Run? Where are they going to go?"
Turning, he let out a Ghostly Wail. Danny covered his ears. Tucker and Kurai stopped, looking up at the FentonWorks next to them. The brick began to crumble, the Op Center tilting from the top. Kurai and Tucker covered their heads.
"For the record, I blame you." Tucker said to Kurai.
Danny gasps as the FentonWorks fell over on top of Tucker and Kurai, throwing up a cloud of dust. Danny stared in shock for a moment, then cried out as Dark Danny shocked him with energy. He reverted to human form, and Dark Danny spun and throws him toward the wreckage. Getting up on his elbows, he saw the time medallion Tucker had been wearing lying abandoned on the ground.
"Kurai took off his time medallion!" Danny got to his feet. "That returns them to their time period just like Box Lunch and Skulktech!" Danny held up a medallion. "Tucker and Kurai made it out alive!" Danny took hold of his own medallion. "Which means I can-"
Dark Danny seized Danny's arm. "What?" Danny cried out as he lifted him into the air, dropping the other medallion. "Go back for them? They're doomed anyway. And you aren't going anywhere if you can't remove your time medallion." His hand glowed green. Ripping off the time medallion, he made it intangible and stuck it inside Danny's chest. Danny screamed then slumped, unconscious. "In fact, you aren't going anywhere at all."
