"Your abilities are sorely lacking." Dark was easily pushing Danny back. "What is wrong? Not enough energy?" Dark's leg snapped up and landed in Danny's gut. He grabbed the back of his head and slammed him into the roof. "Your moves are getting slower." Danny swung his sword wildly, but Dark was quick to float back.

Danny pushed himself up to his feet. His energy was fading. 'Damn! I thought absorbing ghost energy was simply keeping Burn in check. But it was actually keeping my own energy level up. I need my body back.' He called on what reserves he had left. "I'm taking my body back." He threw out an ecto beam.

Dark blocked the beam with The Banshee Blade. "Is that the.." Danny shot forward and rammed a green glowing fist in Dark's face. Before the half ghost even felt the full impact of the attack, Danny spun his foot around and slammed it into Dark's side. The halfa shot towards the glowing sign and crashed into it. It sparked and shut down. Danny's sword began to glow and he swung it. A large blade of energy shot from it. Dark raised his sword to block. The blade sliced through the sign and sent the top half crashing to the parking lot below. Danny was just thankful no one was down there.

"Not bad!" Dark stood on shaky feet. His sword had managed to absorb the cutting force of the blade, but not the power of it. "But how long can you continue?" He held his sword up. A loud wailing shockwave shot from it. It ripped through the roof and slammed into Danny. Danny managed to hold his grown, but his suit was ripped and his energy low. He fell to a knee. Dark smiled. "Not bad! For only having half your normal energy, you managed to keep going all these months. I am impressed!"

"So happy I could entertain you." Danny forced himself up. "But I'm far from beat."

Dark shrugged. "I have no problem kicking your but around for a few more minutes."

Samurai and his group slowly moved through the hospital. Most of the staff were busy trying to make sure the patients were safe considering the racket outside. The cops had been called, but Malice was making sure they would be delayed. He had sent half of his halfas to the infant ward as he and three others went to the girl's room. He just prayed Slamburt could keep the two morons in line. As they got to the right floor, he heard a sword being removed from a sheath. He turned in time to see Fright Knight down a corridor. "Liu Ren! Take the others and capture the children." The teenager with black hair nodded and he led the remaining an older man and a teenaged girl towards the Sam's room.

Liu Ren turned into his ghost form as he reached the door. His ghost sense went off. "Someone is here!" Four metal tentacles phased through the floor and wrapped around his legs. "Keep going!" He was pulled through the floor and crashed into the floor.

Tucker Tech was standing over him. "I think we have a fight to finish. And your little boy isn't here to save you this time."

The remaining halfas shrugged to each other and reached for the door. A large red force field covered the door. A large ghost in a white suit and cape appeared. "Those happen to be my children in there."

The two halfas transformed into ghosts. The old man was now dressed in a brown suit with a cane. The girl was in leather body suit with a lightning bolt cut into the front. "We have you out number."

"Really!" Huntress appeared behind the pair with her weapons ready.

Danny fell back as Dark pressed the attack. "Why don't you give up?" Dark tossed an orb of red energy. It exploded in front of Danny and blasted him to the roof.

Danny rolled to his knees. He had kept a firm grip on The Nightmare Blade. He started to see no hope, but suddenly he felt time slow around him. An image of a gold coin appeared before him. The coin spun in front of him for a few minutes and landed ghost side up. It vanished and time resumed. "The Karmic Coin!" He reached into his belt pouch and pulled it out.

"And how is that going to help you?"

"This is a ghost artifact. And like the Wraith Blade, it can amplify my power."

"What?" He pressed the coin to his chest. He flashed with light and he split into two. Dark laughed. "Your kidding! How can splitting your power even further be any help?"

"That ain't my power!" Danny grew paler. He tossed the sword to his double. "Your up!"

The copy of Danny smiled as he caught the blade. "Finally!" Blue flames erupted around him and he changed into a tall ghost in a black trench coat.

"Burn! How?"

"I used the coin in combo with my duplication power." Danny smirked. "So who is pathetic now?"

Dark didn't have time to respond. Burn shot towards Dark and swung his sword. Dark blocked, but blue fire swarmed from the sword towards him. "Damn you!" Dark jumped back and summoned and energy shield to block the fire. "How is this possible?"

"You ask a lot of questions!" Burn chuckled as the ghost fire spun around his sword. "And all of them have the exact same answer." Burn thrusted the sword into the shield. The fire surrounded the shield and it shattered. Dark flew up to avoid the flames.

"Your powers seem overwhelming, but I can defeat them!" He swung his sword and the wail shot from it. The fire around Burn was smothered and the roof collapsed underneath the ghost. The wave slammed Burn into the hole. "Not so bad when I snuff out your powers." He started to fly towards the hole. Several green beams slammed into him and he crashed into the roof.

Danny managed to stand. His hands glowing green. "So tired!"

Burn shot onto the roof as Dark was getting back up. "Stay down!" He swung his sword and a wave of fire blasted Dark across the roof. A small gold coin flew from him and spun in the air. Burn hand managed to knock Dark's karmic coin from him. It flew past Burn and landed in front of Danny. It landed on its side. It sparked with white light.

"That can't be good." The coin exploded with white light, blinding everyone on the roof. When the light died off, Danny spotted his body laying a few feet away. Standing nearby was a tall ghost who looked to be in his late twenties. Wearing a white and black bodysuit with a DP symbol on the chest. Danny recognized the white hair and goatee. "Dan! Why am I not surprised?"

"Malice gave me my freedom in exchange for agreeing to his little experiments. Granted I hated being stuck in that pathetic human body." He cracked the bones in his neck. "But it did prove to be a useful tool." His hands glowed with red light. "Now to claim what is mine."

Danny wasted no time. He attacked with his ghostly wail. The attack wasn't at full power, but it was enough to push Dan back. Danny dived for his body and phased into it. The Karmic Coin on the ground flashed with green light and vanished. Danny Fenton opened his eyes and stood up. "Going Ghost!" The energy ring formed around him and transformed him into Danny Phantom. "Finally! I got my body back." He heard a lout laughing sound as the ghost shield around the hospital fell.

"Very good!" Malice flew onto the roof in front of the two. "It is nice to see my experiment went so well." Several orbs of green light surrounded him. "Now my sword if you don't mind." Both Danny and Dan looked around, but neither The Banshee Blade nor The Nightmare Blade could be seen. Burn had also vanished. "Well this is annoying." The orbs fired several thin beams of light that blasted both Phantoms across the roof and nearly knocked them off. "Dorathea! Aragon!" A male and female ghost in medieval clothing flew onto the roof. "Please entertain these two as I acquire my prizes."

"Your not getting anywhere near my children." Danny shot at Malice, but stopped as both ghosts next to him transformed into large half dragons. They stood as humanoids with large muscular bodies. Covered in hard scales and had large wings on their backs. "Can't anything just go easy for once."

In the underground parking garage, Burn placed The Karmic Coin in the handle of The Nightmare blade. "Soon I will have my revenge for almost a year of humiliation." He connected the handles of both blades together and the glowed with bright light. "Now the power of The Wrath Blade is mine. And all those who stand in my way will be burned to a crisp."
