Predawn on a city highway. The trio passed a billboard reading "aKon: 5 miles". Danny is flying again. Khione is flying next to him.
"Akon! The ultimate celebration of anime and cosplay!" Khione exclaimed.
They all pulled up, gasping. Cresting a ridge, they discovered a sunny grassy valley of flowers, smiling teddy bears, and cheerful banners surrounding a giant pink teddy. The trio lands, and a wave of teddy bears approached them.
"We love you!" Teddy Bears said.
"Aw they're so cute." Khione said as several of the teddy bears landed on her. "But we gotta break the spell. Danny?"
Danny had picked up several groupies of his own but was more relaxed about it.
Danny was cheerful to the bears. "May I have the Gem of Form?"
"Say the magic word!" Teddy Bears said.
"Anime? Cosplay? Adorable?" Khione grinned.
"Please." Danny said sweetly.
The sea of teddy bears parted to let through a pink bear carrying the glowing yellow stone, which Danny accepted. He began to drop it into the thermos, and on second thought flashed the gem around. The grassy meadow became a building full of nerds with manga in costumes and a stage with voice actors and YouTube stars.
Khione relaxed as the two teddy bears hugging her turned into nerds, dropping her arms around their shoulders. "Aahh. I love anime and cosplay. Danny wanna go meet Eric Vale?"
"We can't." Danny dropped the Gem of Form into the thermos. "Two gems down, one to go. And less than 24 hours to find it."
He gasped as nerds started screaming and a GiW tank bore down on them. It fired a torpedo at Danny, which missed and crashed into a rock formation. Inside, Agents O and K aimed again for Danny. Danny grabbed Khione and Tucker by their collars, went intangible, and flew through the nearest rock formation. The Agents slammed their fists down on the dashboard with a growl of frustration.
On the other side of the rock formation, Danny saw a semi traveling along a highway, and flies them inside. The side of the truck read "The Worldly Week Inquisitor - Your #1 Source for Danny Phantom Information" and is blazoned with a picture of Danny's face half morphed. Inside the truck were bales of newspapers.
Danny reached down to pick up a paper. "What's this? Oh, great."
He turned the newspaper so they can see it. The main headline reads "Ghost Kid and Friends Still Missing!", and had headshots of all three of them. The truck drove onward.
