At the convention, The trio looked around saw several more Danny and Kurai cosplayers.
Tucker was dismayed. "Still no Tuckers. A crying shame. I even come with gadgets!" Tucker pulled several out of his pockets.
"Hm. Everything here looks normal." Danny said.
Kurai watched a tiny cosplayer in a green outfit pass by and laughed. "Not quite normal."
"Oh, you know what I mean. I don't think anyone's triggered the Gem of Fantasy yet." Danny said.
They walked inside. In front of them three exaggeratedly nerdy cosplayers: a girl in a vaguely wolfish outfit, a big guy in a blue outfit studded with rocks, and a skinny chap in a red samurai costume. Blue Chunk held up the Gem of Fantasy.
"Behold, the Crystal Leviathan's life-sustaining Kleptonian gem!" Blue Chunk said.
"Wow, where'd you find that?" Red asked.
Wolfgirl grabbed it. "Lemme see, lemme see!"
As she gazed down at it, the gem began to blaze with blue light, blinding and burning her.
Wolfgirl flung it away. "Ow!"
Red caught it and then juggled it in his hands. "Agh, hot!" He flung it away as well.
Blue Chunk caught it, and it glowed even brighter, making them all squint and cover their eyes. Suddenly Blue Chunk transformed into a monster of blue crystal, Red Samurai changed into a real red samurai with a flaming sword, and Wolfgirl transformed into a scary wolf...cat...thing. The three of them hovered in the air.
Danny looked up at them. "Awesome! The Gem of Fantasy turned three regular nerds into superheroes!" Danny gestured to them as he turned to Tucker. "They can help us rescue our parents!"
"You need to read more comic books." Tucker pointed. "Those aren't superheroes-they're supervillains!"
Danny looked back up at the three supervillains in dismay as they began to attack.
Wolfgirl, Blue Chunk, and Red Samurai started attacking people. The trio scattered as Red threw a red blast at them. Danny went tumbling and landed at Blue Chunk's feet.
"I've gotta get that gem before these geeks do some real damage." Danny said.
Sitting up, he fired an ectoblast at Blue Chunk, knocking the Gem of Fantasy to the ground. Danny lunged to retrieve it, but Blue tackled him and threw him into a Danny Phantom display. A biography of Danny Phantom landed open on his face. Picking it up, he realized what it is.
"Hey! I never approved of this!" Danny scowled.
Kurai and Tucker run to pick up the gem, but WolfGirl jumped in front of it.
"You shall not pass. So speaks Empress She-Wolf!" Wolfgirl said.
Kurai transformed into Khione and created a barrier to protect them.
"That may be the hottest geek I've ever laid eyes on." Tucker said.
Khione held up the barrier, protecting Tucker.
Empress She-Wolf morphed into a significantly more wolfy and less humanoid model, roaring.
"Yeah? Is she still hot?" Khione asked, grunting as she held up the barrier.
"Yeah, still hot." Tucker admitted.
Danny tackleed She-Wolf to the floor, and she morphed back into her semi-human form, dazed.
"Aah! Our comics have come alive!" A cosplayer ran off.
Behind him, Blue Chunk smashed its fists into the floor, roaring.
"I don't know whether to be horrified or run and report this on the internet!" Another geek said.
Going intangible, Danny flew up through the roof. Red and Blue Chunk went after him, smashing a hole in the ceiling, and She-Wolf followed. Danny flew over the street, the supervillains running after him on top of the streetlights. Gaining, She-Wolf twirled a wolf's claw overhead on a cable and threw it after Danny. It grabs him by the ankle and she slammed him down to the roof. Danny rolled, narrowly missing getting crushed by Blue Chunk, who he grabbed by the leg and tied to a nearby flagpole.
"Now to finish off the reset of the legion of super-dweebs." Danny said.
"I got it Danny!" Khione flew off and attacked Red. Diving back down, she smashed headlong into Red, sending them both crashing to the roof.
Then, as if Khione and Danny didn't have enough problems, Agents O and K landed nearby with their jetpacks.
Agent O was out of breath. "Man, these cross country ghost chases are like...totally exhausting."
The agents shot a pair of nets out of their ectoguns, trapping Khione and Red. Launching back into the air, they fired several more shots at the mysteriously freed Blue Chunk and She-Wolf, but missed. Red slashed through the net with his sword, attacking the agents and apparently damaging their jetpacks. Agents K and O crashed to the roof. Khione throws off the net, springing into the air.
"Danny you'll have to take it from here." Khione said, transforming back into Kurai. "That net drained my powers."
Danny flew over. "Not so fast!"
Red started to say something in a muffled foreign language, but Danny blasted the three of them. From the resulting flash of light the Gem of Fantasy fell. Danny caught it. The supervillains crashed to the roof, and when the smoke cleared away they're a tumbled heap of normal cosplayers. Red looked up as the Agents came to stare down at them.
"Hey, you're just geeks." Agent K said.
Red held up a finger. "Technically we're enthusiasts."
Danny flew down to land by Kurai and Tucker.
"Kurai, are you alright?" Danny took her hand. Some of his power went into her and she was healed.
"You helped me. Thank you." Kurai smiled and blushed.
"Nice work, Danny. We've got all three gems now!" Tucker said.
"And Freakshow only has one. That means once we find him, we can beat him and take the Gauntlet!" Danny dropped the Gem of Fantasy into the thermos.
Lydia came up behind him. Her bat minions that were attached to Tucker flew out from him and return to her as she threw back her hood. Then her tattoos all detached, flying toward the trio and surrounding them.
Kurai looked around at the tat minions. "Uh, guys?"
Tucker was oblivious. "We can save our parents!"
Danny was also oblivious. "And we can change reality so that nobody remembers my secret."
Danny and Tucker finally noticeD the ghosts, too late. The tattoo ghosts swirled around them and they all vanished, reappearing by the train where Freakshow has set up camp. The trio fell to the ground, dazed, and Lydia reclaimed her minions.
