Jazz took the controls of the Specter Speeder, ready to take down this bastard who screwed over her brother and made her - and the rest of the world - hate him. She glanced at her brother every few seconds, wondering how she had been such an oblivious idiot. The similarities were uncanny. And with good reason, since they were truly the same person. She supposed she never realized it because she didn't think that Danny Phantom was anyone but Danny Phantom. In her mind and countless other minds, he was just a ghost. Some kid that had died in his early teens. There was no alter ego, no disguise. He wasn't some guy behind a mask like Spider-Man or Daredevil. The fact was, no one had ever guessed Danny was a ghost even with all of the clues because no one ever thought that it could even be possible.
That being said, Vlad revealed himself to be a halfa due to a lab experiment gone wrong so it was proven possible. However, the odds were so low, plus everyone had thought for so long that their beloved town hero was a ghost so they never suspected that he could be half-human too. Regardless, Jazz felt very annoyed with herself that she hadn't figured it out sooner.
"So you pass Vlad's place and then take a left here," Danny pointed to a football.
Jazz raised a brow. "That's a -"
"Yeah, don't ask. Uh, you take a right here."
She turned over to Danny and saw that he didn't have a map. "Do you have the Ghost Zone memorized?"
He shrugged. "I mean, once you've lived here for long enough, you get to know your way around pretty well."
"Lived?" They both laughed.
But both stopped laughing as they arrived at a large mansion guarded by about 100 menacing ghosts. All of these were the most evil and frightening ghosts Danny had ever fought.
Jazz felt like her eyes would fall out of her head. She saw the most vicious-looking creatures and even recognized a few of them. "Is that…?" She couldn't finish and she could barely move her shaky hand to point at the large figure with black armor, gray boots, green hair, a green fiery crown hovering over his head, two horns - one of which seemed to have been torn off, and a long cape flowing out behind him.
"Pariah Dark," Danny growled, clenching his hands into fists and transforming on instinct. He couldn't tear his gaze from his foe. It took him long enough to get rid of him the first time… But, suddenly, a boom rattled the Specter Speeder backwards and the glare was broken. Out of the green smoke came Danny's worse enemy. His ultimate enemy. A nightmare he thought he would never have to face again appeared before him with red eyes and light blue skin. "No…This - this isn't possible!" Danny yelled, stumbling backwards. Jazz looked at her brother with surprised and fearful eyes, and back at the ghost. Who is this ghost? He has the same insignia as Danny. Is he the other halfa?
"We meet again," Dan grinned and flew closer to the window with arms spread out on either side. "I guess your fate hasn't changed."
"I never became you and I never will!" Danny shouted.
Dan laughed, but stopped and had a grim expression on his face. "Maybe not. But I still have the chance to make you and your -well, our - family suffer."
"Danny, what is going on?" Jazz asked. "Is he like you?"
"What's this? You brought along Jazz? Word's out, is it?" he formed an ecto-beam and started to shoot it through the window. Glass started cracking, but Danny turned on the controls and shot at Dan who dodged each blast.
As he did this, Danny told Jazz, "He's someone I thought was gone for good. And yes, but he wasn't the other halfa I was talking about."
"But you said -"
"Look, it's hard to explain, but I would really rather talk about this some other time. We need to get out of here and attack."
"With what army?"
Danny closed his eyes and 3 duplicates formed next to him.
"Whoa. Okay, that's new."
"Yeah, I've been practicing," all four Danny's said in unison rubbing the backs of their necks at the same time.
"And creepy," she added.
Jazz grabbed a large gun and some knives and opened the door of the Specter Speeder. All five got out and started battling the ghosts. Luckily for Jazz, any time a ghost tried to injure her, they were zapped and injured themselves. They were fighting off everyone surprisingly well. That is, until Pariah Dark blasted all of Danny's doubles and they vanished into thin air. Distracted by this, Danny didn't notice Vortex sweeping in behind him and striking him in the back with lightning. He fell forwards, shocked by the sudden pain. He climbed back onto his feet and scowled at the attacker.
"You've gotta be kidding me," Danny muttered as he summoned cold energy in his hands and a glowing blue snowball formed that he promptly tossed at Vortex. He tumbled back but recovered quickly and wailed at Danny, pushing him back several meters. The evil ghost breathed in heavily to produce another wail but this time Danny blocked it with an ecto-shield. For a few seconds, Danny noticed Jazz fighting through the monsters easily. She was untouchable which pretty much made her invincible. Anything ecto - which was pretty much everything in the Ghost Zone - would bounce back or be electrocuted. To Danny's surprise, she didn't even seem to need the protection; she defended and attacked with expert skills. No doubt taught to her by their mom. She had already taken down about 2 dozen ghosts. He realized, however, that he had thought this too soon, as ropes lassoed around both of Jazz's arms and her feet. She fell to the ground and a young, annoying, all-too-familiar laugh resonated. Youngblood. Danny put the shield down, and used both hands to blast Vortex out of the way. Youngblood put his sword at Jazz's throat.
Danny's eyes turned red. "HEY! Don't touch my sister!" He then wailed, causing the entire army to run for their after-lives. Everyone fell and most were knocked unconscious. Jazz unknotted the ropes. She noticed Danny's blood-red eyes and nearly gasped. But a soft noise crescendoing grabbed her attention. Someone was…clapping. The doors to the palace glowed green and opened slowly. A laugh began, accompanying the clapping, and a silhouette stepped into view. Jazz and Danny stuck close together but didn't dare touch since Jazz had on the Specter Deflector. Danny stepped in front of Jazz. "It's over Gregory."
White eyes were first revealed, then the specter's red and black muscular body came into the light. A deep, malicious voice hissed. "The name is The Master. And you will do best to bow down boy."
Danny urged every bone in his body to stay put but his knees bent against his will and soon he was down on the floor bowing to his master.
Sorry it is short! Have a good night/morning!
