"The black crescent moon on her forehead... The sign of the Dominion... The queen of Dominion, Reiko!? Can... Can that really be Reiko!?"

"She's awakened in that form!? Reiko!?"

"Reiko!?" Kurai calls. "It's not you, is it!?"

The Moggle beeps on the ground. "Reiko... Reiko..."

The woman turns and blasts the ball. "Noisy toy."

"Reiko!?"

"Reiko!" says Danny. "Wake up!"

"It's useless," says the Xar. "The Fledgling no longer exists in this world. Now she is my pretty Reiko. Heh heh heh..."

"Xar!"

"Dan," says Reiko. "Fright Knight."

The two men appear. Fright Knight's hands glow with darkness. "I've inherited these death hands from the Xar," he says.

"And I have the power of evil vision," says Dan. "Take this!" The mark on his forehead shines, and energy shoots at Sam and Tucker.

"Sam!? Tucker!"

Fright Knight's hands reach out and grow, wrapping around Danny.

"Danny!"

"Reiko," says Sam. "Stop it! Don't you recognize us!?"

"This is your birthplace!" says Tucker. "Are you going to fight us right in front of Fentonworks?"

"I have no feelings for this place," Reiko says. "Look." She points outside. "A second monolith. The Darkness produces twisted darkness, which will quickly spread out across the planet. Everything will be drawn into it. People. Buildings. They will collapse hundreds of times faster than they have been. This planet will be brought to ruin."

"But, Reiko..." says Kurai. "No, Reiko. Did you put it there? Into your own planet!?"

"Since I have what I want," she says, "whatever happens to this planet is fine. Dan."

The caped man with black eyes steps forward.

"Dan!?" Kurai calls. "Dan!?"

"He's mine," says Reiko. "I've got him all to myself. He's all mine."

"Dan!"

"Get her."

He holds out his hand, attacking her.

"Dan!? Can't you see me!?"

He jumps up.

"Dan!" Danny calls to himself.

Dan comes down and strikes Kurai with his ghostray. She falls to the ground.

"With the magic of our legacy..." she thinks. "He... He couldn't have..."

"Kurai!" says Danny.

"He won't listen to anyone but me," Reiko says. "Come, Dan." He goes to her, and they kiss.

"They're here, but..." Kurai says. "Reiko! I know we screwed up, but you're important to us! Why are you fighting us!?"

"You're a good girl," Clockworkd said. "I'm proud of you, Reiko."

Reiko flinches. "I'm not listening to you!" she shouts. "You don't know anything about me!" She hits Kurai and knocks her to the floor. "Dan!"

"You have love taken by force," Dan says. "That is one way to get it."

Reiko raises her arm in the air. A huge darkness appears above her. They others all gasp.

"Everyone!" Sam says. "Get out of the way!"

The darkness shoots down and embeds itself in the ground, near the other two monoliths.

"A monolith!?"

"Fentonworks," Reiko says. "This world, and you will all be drawn into the darkness of the Underworld."

"My pretty Reiko," says Xar. "She's right. With her immense power, she can manipulate this world quite easily, along with you, her relatives of the Phantom line. Heh heh heh..."

Xxx

Clockwork's staff glows. "I feel uneasy..." she says. "Such anxiety... What's happening on the other side of that door!? I can only wait here, alone. Reiko... Are you safe!? Kurai!"

"Look!" says Sam. "The palace...!"

"Kurai!?"

Kurai stands in front of the Manor, her eyes closed. They glow.

"Heh..." says Xar. "She's still struggling. Your loved ones are all mine. I can crush you at any time. If you want them returned, become mine together with Phantom. You and your Ultimate Power!"

"Never," says Kurai. "I'll show you! I'll protect them! Fentonworks and this planet!" She holds out her arms before the manor.

"Use your powers," the Xar says.

"But then..." says Dan. "This planet...!"

"I don't care," the Xar says. "The Ultimate Power and the Phantom are as good as mine. I don't need the planet anymore."

"And is it the same with us?" asks Dan.

"Dan!?" says Reiko.

"Xar," he says. "You took us with your evil vision. Ironic that it was the power you sent out that cleared my mind. I've come to my senses! Pariah, Fright Knight... For years we lived as your comrades. I won't let them have died in vain!"

"Fright Knight!" Reiko calls. Fright Knight approaches Dan.

"Are you going to fight against me, Fright Knight?" Dan asks. "You've always been on my side. But now you're wearing that earring..."

Fright Knight's long black arm reaches out at him.

"That's the single sign of your rebellion," Dan says. The mark on his forehead shines, and Fright Knight's body is torn to shreds.

"That's it, Fright Knight," he says. He turns to the cloaked figure. "Die, Xar!" The light blasts the Xar. The cloak flies off, revealing a skeleton that collapses. Dan gasps. "That's... the Xar's body!? Oh no..."

Reiko laughs. "His true form is here," she says. She reaches to the sky. "Xar!"

Dark clouds circle in the air above her, swirling over the palace.

Clockwork looks around. "The storm's gone...? What... What is happening!? I have to get through that door now! I want to help the others fight! But... I am the solitary guardian of the Ghost Zone. I can't leave here."

Xxx

"Clockwork," Elder says. "You watch the Ghost Zone. You are the warrior who controls time and space. There are three things you must not do. First, you may not cross time. Second, you can never leave the door you must protect. And third..."

"What is that!?" they cry.

A huge black planet comes through the storm in the sky.

"That's...!?"

Two eyes shine through the sphere. "My name... is Xar."

Kurai covers her ears. "That voice is so loud! Where's it coming from!?"

"That body of mine," he says, "was an afterimage of the past. The world of Dominion has come. That corpse has been rotting away for ages. Time is running out for this world. I will have it assimilated. It and Dominion will become one. I am Dominion! This world is myself."

"Dominion... has a mind!?" Dan says. "That's the Xar's true self!?"

Reiko smiles before the glowing planet. Buildings rip from the ground, and fly into the air.

"Everything's being sucked in!" says Kurai. The other soldiers start to fall over. "Danny!" she calls. "Sam! Tucker! Everyone! Dominion is approaching. Black, distorted space is expanding everywhere... The planet will really become a planet of death. I can't let it happen! I'll stop it!"

"Dominion..." Dan says. "Then Xar never existed...!? It was the planet all along. We were being fooled... Into thinking our lives had a purpose..."

"Look!" Sam says. "The Manor... It's shining!"

Kurai stands still before it.

"Is that Kurai's power!?" says Tucker. "The Ultimate Power."

"No," says Danny. "That's Kurai's power!"

"Fentonworks!" Sam says.

"It's being crushed!" says Tucker. "Kurai!"

Danny turns and runs toward it.

"Danny!?"

He rushes into Fentonworks, toward the place where Kurai stands.

"Kurai..."

Tucker looks at him, concerned.

Xxx

"Clockwork!"

Clockwork turns. "Tucker!?"

"Clockwork," she says. "You have to help Danny. We're all in trouble. Reiko has changed! Into the queen of the Dominion! Dominion has appeared in the sky! You have to fight! Kurai and the others are already being worn out. They might not be able to save Fentonworks... Or the planet!"

"I have to stay here..." Clockworks says. "I want to fight with them...!"

"Clockwork... I will stay here and guard!"

Tucker stays and wishes Clockwork good luck as she runs to help Kurai and Danny.

"It's getting stronger..." Kurai thinks. "The power..." She raises her arms as she kneels on the floor. "Clear, beautiful power. Light, run across time."

"The power of the Darkness..." thinks Dan. "The rewriting of history... That white power will pierce through us. I can't resist it... That power...!"

"Heh heh!" says Reiko. "This planet is finished! Sister, this is your ruined future! How long can you stand against the Darkness contorting time and space! Ahahaha!"

"Reiko...!" Kurai thinks.

The others lie on the ground. "Kurai..." Danny moans.

"I can't keep my strength up..." Kurai says. "No... Stop! Reiko! If you get any closer, our lives will be over. Please! Open your eyes! Return to the real Reiko! Don't let the future turn out this way!"

"Dan..." Reiko says.

"Danny!" says Kurai.

Dan lunges at Kurai and attacks her. She lands on the ground.

He hears a voice in his head.

"Dan..."

He stops for a moment.

Reiko pushes him aside and approaches her sister.

"The power of Darkness—" she began to glow dark. "And the force of Ultimate Light—" Kurai glowed white. "If we touch it's over for everyone."

Danny and Clockwork run out from the palace.

"This is the END!" Reiko screamed.

"Damnit!" says Danny.

"Oh my-!?" says Clockwork. "Is that... Reiko!?"

"I don't believe anyone anymore!" yells Dan. "Reiko, Xar, you have the immense power of the Darkness. We must end everything!"

"What's Reiko going to do!?" says Danny. "The two of them..."

"If they touch," Clockwork thinks, "everything in this world could be over!"

"Reiko!" calls Clockwork.

"We'll all be going on a trip," says Reiko as she lunged for her sister.
