Danny Phantom shot over they skies of Amity Park at high speeds. Thanks to the indirect information from Clockwork, he knew what he needed. A seed from Undergrowth. A crazed ghost of plants that had turned Sam into the queen of his gardens a while back. It seemed obvious now that he had figured it out. The second ghost DNA, he should have known. Danny cursed himself for being so clueless. "I'll save you Sam."

"How cute! Rushing to save to save your love. Or?" Dan appeared in a flash of green light. He wore a flaming red crown on his head and a glowing red ring on his right hand. He smiled sinisterly. "Should I say our love?"

"Don't you dare assume you have any connection to her! Your right to her died when you gave up your humanity."

"I suppose so!" Dan's right hand tightened and the ring glowed brighter. "I shall let you two die together. Consider it a parting gift."

"Gee thanks!" Danny suddenly noticed the two items Dan had. "The Crown of Fire and The Ring of Rage. But those artifices were sealed away along with Pariah Dark, The Ghost King!"

"So you thought! Vlad was stupid enough to save these two items for future use. I liberated them for my own use." He flew back and held the ring up to the sky. "And that is not all that I have acquired." A red beam of energy shot from the ring and tore open a hole in the sky. Hundreds of green glowing skeletons dropped out of it and landed on the street bellow. "I also command his limitless army."

"Afraid to fight me one on one?"

"Now you're beneath me!" He smile grew. "And I figure your rushing because you know of the cure for what is causing you love's illness. I plan on delaying you until it is too late."

"Damn you!" Danny started to charge, but several skeletons fell on top of him and dragged him downward.

Dan crossed his arms. "This should be entertaining."

Tucker eyes were locked on Clockwork as the ghost of time moved through the small crowd. He had disabled the ghost sensors in the backyard, but still. He had told Sam that Danny had taken off for some reason. She was disappointed, but said she was sure he had a good reason. Tucker froze as he saw Clockwork head towards Danny's parents. "Please just walk past." Clockwork stopped and started a conversation. "Crap!"

"And you are?" Jack looked over the blue faced man in front of him. He had Riker in his arm.

"I am Danny's tutor! My name is Rubious Timer!" He smiled at Lilith who slept in Maddie's arms. "I sense that these children will have an interesting future." He bowed slightly and walked away.

"What a weirdo!" Jack looked at his wife who just shrugged.

"Was that necessary?" Tucker followed Clockwork inside the house. He was standing alone in the hall, his eyes glowing red. "Hey!"

"He might die! I cannot see his current fate clearly." Clockwork seemed to talk to the wall. "If he were to fall before the time." Clockwork eyes narrowed and stopped glowing.

"Clockwork!"

The ghost of time turned. "Sorry!"

"Is Danny alright?"

Clockwork smirked. "Fate has many twists. Danny must unknot the path himself. But I trust he will figure it out." He stepped past Tucker. "Now for the appetizers."

Tucker stood silently as Clockwork went back outside. "What is wrong with that guy?"

The ball of ghost skeletons with Danny in the center crashed into the street hard. Bones exploded everywhere and Danny was left lying in the middle of the street. Cars stopped and were abandoned as their drivers ran clear. Danny pushed himself up as he was surrounded by dozens of Skeletons. Each armed with a glowing green sword. His eyes sparked with green light. "I don't have time for this!" He yelled out and a dome of green energy formed around him. It exploded and blasted the skeletons around him apart. He went intangible and vanished into the ground. Several more skeletons followed him into the sewer. Danny gritted his teeth as he was surrounded. The skeletons were annoyances at best, but they were delaying him and he didn't have much time to waste. "Get lost!" He blasted his way through the skeletons and flew back to the surface. More continued to charge at him. "Back off!" Danny planted his feet into the ground and yelled out his ghostly wail. The green shock wave broke all the glass around him and shattered all the ghost skeletons in its path. Danny dropped to a knee. "Now then!" He was blasted in the back by a red energy beam.

"You have gotten more powerful!" Dan floated down and landed. More skeletons formed a circle around Danny. "But you will eventually run down and then your mine."

"I won't be stopped by the likes of you." Danny tried to stand, but fell back to his knee. "Used too much energy on these losers. Didn't think it through. I failed you again Sam."

Dan waved his hand forward. "Archers!" Several skeletons stepped up armed with green bows. "Block this!" The archers fired a volley. Fifty green arrows shot into the sky and fell at Danny.

Danny formed a barrier around himself and the arrows exploded against it. "I won't fail her again!" His hands burned with green light and the barrier burst apart. Several bolts of energy slammed into the circle of skeletons. Many exploded, but there were still many more of them. "Stop hiding behind these lame solders and let's do this."

"I would love to give you that pleasure, but I have decided too not. Fire!" His troops exploded into red fire. "Not like that!"

"I'm not sure what is harder to believe." The buildings and cars around the street burst into flames and filled the area with smoke. It spun around and formed a dome surrounding Danny and Dan. A ghost with angelic wings of red fire landed in between the two. A large weapon made of two swords in his right hand. "An evil copy from the future." His eyes started to steam. "Or the fact you're trying to kill Danny before the time I designated." Dan's eyes narrowed as the ghost in front of him smirked. "He has two weeks left before I kill him. You will not interfere!"

"And who in the hell do you think you are?" Dan's eyes began to glow.

"Get lost kid! Your time isn't up yet!"

"Great! My life just keeps getting more complicated." Danny shot through the smoke and into the clear sky.

"You let my prize get away." Dan's fist shot forward.

The ghost blocked with his free hand. "Inferno! My name and your fate!"

Danny landed in the middle a large construction site. His narrow escape was the last thing on his mind. "This is where Undergrowth was beaten." He looked around. "But where could one of his seeds be." He went intangible and dropped into the ground. About a mile down, he flew into a small cavern. Large green roots covered every inch of the area. "Bingo!" He spotted a small flower pod near the center of the cavern. He unphased and flew to it. It was a green oval with black barbs around it. He looked around the cavern and was satisfied that nothing was moving. "Easy does it!" He tapped the small pod. It split into three parts and opened up. A large green and black seed was sitting on the inside. He reached for it, but several vines shot from the roots and wrapped around him. He was pulled from the pod as a loud voice filled the cavern.

"Fool! Like a moth to the flame, you have wandered to close and now your mine."

"Let me go Undergrowth! Or do you want me to put you on ice again."

The voice chuckled as the vines tightened. "You can't use your powers while you can't breathe."

Danny struggled and found it harder to draw breath. "Damn it!"
