The moment Danny destroyed the computer and disappeared in the resulting explosion with Technus and Electro, his duplicate failed. Doctor Octopus shrieked angrily.
"No! I was so close!" Doctor Octopus shouted outraged. Spiderman and Iron Fist looked up and gasped at the crater left behind by the explosion. However their fight against Scorpion, Sandman, Johnny 13 and Beetle quickly demanded their attention. Nova joined them as Doctor Octopus joined the fray. White Tiger had gotten the upper hand in her battle with Ember. Powerman and Skulker's wrestling match hadn't changed.
Danny blinked away the stars in front of his eyes. He pulled down his hair to see it was black. He quickly glanced around him. He was in the cell block again. Technus was getting up slowly. Electro had hit his head and been knocked out. Spectra and Bertrand were in the middle of a heated argument, no doubt due to how they'd gotten in each other's way during their fight with Danny. No one was taking any notice of him so he slowly put his hand to hip and changed into his ghost form. White rings appeared at his waist and glided across his body. His jeans and white shirt changed into his black and white jumpsuit. His black hair turned white and his human blue eyes changed to neon green.
He unclipped the thermos from his belt and pulled off the lid. He pointed it at Technus and pressed the suck button. The technology ghost was sucked inside before he could react. Danny then turned to Spectra and Bertrand and pointed the thermos at them. He fired two quick shots of his ghost ray at them both. Distracted by their argument, they didn't dodge and while they were dazed by the attacks, Danny sucked them inside the thermos. The halfa then turned to Electro. He couldn't just leave him. He froze the villain's feet and hands to the floor. It would hold him there for a little longer. Not indefinitely but hopefully long enough for the halfa to go back into the system and get the other villains out.
Danny stood in front of the fried controls beside Kraven's cell, luckily he hadn't been in view of any of the cells and the cameras were down so his secret was safe. The ghost teen wasn't sure if that was fair since he did know Spiderman and his team's secret identities. But then again, if they got revealed… yes their families would be in danger but they had S.H.I.E.L.D. to help them. If Danny's secret got out, he would have no one. Sure Sam, Tucker and Jazz would try to protect him but there was only so much a few teenagers could do and stopping the Guys in White from arresting him wasn't one of them. If the Guys in White caught him… that was it. They'd experiment on him and then probably kill him.
Danny phased back into the computer and appeared in the same clearing as before. He floated up into the sky and zoomed off to the mountain. It was time to end this. He only had three more ghosts left to catch and then he could go home. Helping S.H.I.E.L.D. with this security breach was just a bonus that would hopefully get him into their good books.
Spiderman leapt away from Sandman and glanced up as Nova blasted Beetle.
"Nova, swap partners!" Spiderman ordered and jumped up on Beetle's back again. Nova obeyed and flew over to Sandman and began to blast the villain repeatedly. Spiderman scanned the circuitry and smirked to himself as he recalled what he had left to do. He tweaked a couple of wires and pulled a power pack out of alignment. Beetle's armour shut down and the villain crashed to the ground. One down, three villains and three ghosts left. He was worried about Danny. He didn't know what happened to the ghosts and Electro could have been sucked and dispersed in the system. He really hoped that the ghost teen didn't just get ripped apart. Ghosts were just, scientifically speaking, after images of living people, electrical impulses left over and fused together to form a mass capable of thought. Theoretically, enough electricity could break that sentient mass apart.
Spiderman turned to Doctor Octopus as he lunged at Iron Fist. Spiderman shot a web at the scientist and then ran forwards. Doctor Octopus was taken by surprise and didn't have the time to block Spiderman's kick. The man stumbled back on his arms but quickly regained his balance and thrust an arm forwards to hit the hero.
Iron Fist and Scorpion were too evenly matched. They knew each other's fighting style too well having trained together at Kun L'un. Even with Iron Fist's training at S.H.I.E.L.D., Scorpion was more than a match for him. Nova wasn't doing much better against Sandman. He fired concentrated beams of hot energy but since the villain was touching the ground, it only held him back for seconds.
Suddenly there was a blast of green energy that hit Skulker. Powerman gasped in surprise and turned to see Danny Phantom flying forward and tackle the ghostly hunter. Skulker grinned and called out a gun from his shoulder. The ghost fired but Danny dodged and the shot hit Ember, throwing her away from White Tiger.
"Help your team mates! I've got these guys," Danny called to them and charged his hands with his green ghost energy and fired it at Ember, twisting away from a net from Skulker. White Tiger and Powerman blinked at the ghost teen in surprise but didn't hesitate to help Nova and Iron Fist with their opponents and Johnny, who wasn't a tough opponent but definitely a distraction.
Danny barrelled into Ember and punched her into Skulker. Both ghosts were much stronger than Spectra and Bertrand. Danny nodded to himself. He had to create such an explosive force that it would do the same thing as the computer did. He built up his energy in his hands and his eyes glowed pure green with power. Ember and Skulker collected themselves.
"You two need to find better dates than attacking me," Danny growled as he struggled to contain the energy in his hands as he added even more. Both ghosts scowled at him and flew forwards, just as Danny threw the ball of concentrated, dangerous ghost energy forward to them. The energy expanded instantly, so fast it resulted in a massive green explosion. The shock waves erupted outwards and hit Sandman, Powerman, Johnny 13 and Nova by accident. Danny threw up a shield and was the only one remaining when the bright light and smoke faded.
Now, it was Beetle, Spiderman, White Tiger, Iron Fist, Scorpion and Doctor Octopus left in the fight. Danny scanned the battle and saw Beetle. His armour had seized up but the villain hadn't been blasted out of the system yet. Danny flew over to the villain and grabbed his shoulder. He phased them both out of the system and dropped the armoured mercenary to the ground and pulled out his thermos the moment he returned to the cell block. He quickly sucked in Skulker, Johnny and Ember before they had a chance to recover. Nova, Powerman and Sandman were recovering. Danny fired a beam of his ice energy and encased Sandman in an ice cube.
"What happened?" Powerman inquired blearily.
"Sorry, didn't mean to blast you guys out of the system as well as Skulker and Ember. Stay here and get these three into cells. I'll go and help the others," Danny apologised and jerked a thumb at the control panel. Nova and Powerman blinked in surprise at the ghost teen. He was gone before they could say anything further.
Yeah, Danny and everyone blasted out of the system are fine, just dazed.
Let me know what you guys think so far.
Yeah, heh heh. Completely forgot about Johnny again. I was so shocked when I read over the story because I don't usually do that. In fact, I'm usually really good at remembering all my characters.
