"Oh can anything be sweeter?" Plasmius chuckled as he pushed the proxy ghost back with an energy beam. "After almost a year of putting up with you and doing what you say. I have finally risen beyond you and will take my rightful place as king of the Ghost Zone."

Malice laughed as his proxy started to dissolve into a puddle of green slime. "Just because you beat my puppet, doesn't mean you will beat me."

"Your time is coming old man." Plasmius' hands exploded with red light. "And I will be the one to finish you." He slammed his fists together and the proxy exploded. "Soon you will join your pathetic puppet." He looked at the seed that was still in his hand. "The perfect bargaining chip." He clasped the seed in his hand. His hand shined with a dim light and the seed disintegrated. "No longer needed."

Fright Knight collapsed as Danny broke through his shield with an ectobeam. With Huntress down and out a few feet away, he was the only one left to fight the kid. "What has happened to you? I have never seen you fight with such power and ferocity."

Danny's eyes shined green. "I'm not sure. But I am truly enjoying it." Danny shot forward and slammed a glowing green fist into Fright Knight's stomach. The black and green armour cracked broke apart under the blow and the spirit of Halloween backed away. Small wafts of green smoke flowed from where his armour had been cracked.

"So much power!" Fright Knight looked at the sword in his right hand. It had cracks from where he tried to strike at Danny. "So much unnatural power. Only one option remains." He dismissed his sword. "We will fight again!" Fright Knight charged passed Danny and picked up the out cold Huntress.

Danny made no effort to stop him as he flew away. "Another time!" He looked over to Sam's body. "You deserved better than this."

"As do you as well." Clockwork appeared through a portal. "What has happened to you?"

"The part of me that made up Dan has been returned to me." Danny looked at his hands as they sparkled with green energy. "So much energy!"

"Your mind has been clouded."

"Or has it been opened." Danny walked up to the ghost of time. "For the first time in my life I see the possibilities opened up to me." He glanced over to Sam. "I know you can't take me back in time to save her."

"I am truly sorry! I know what you must be going through."

"No you don't." Danny smiled with a sinister grin. "Allow me to show you." Danny grasped Clockwork's face with his hand. Dark green energy flowed from his hand into Clockwork. The ghost of time cried out as the energy penetrated his body. Danny let go and let him drop to the roof. "I am tired of being a pawn. It is time I took control of my destiny." Danny floated up. "Now I will make the world feel my pain." He held his hand out and fired a green beam of energy. It cut open a portal to The Ghost Zone. He flew through it and it closed.

Clockwork slowly rose up with his eyes glowing red. "If I would have been anyone else. I would have gone insane." He floated over to Sam. "She is still alive. Breathing to shallow for Danny to detect." He sensed a presence and turned around. A small vortex opened and two guys dropped out of it. One seven feet tall and all muscle. The other was shorter in a torn up straight jacket. "What are you two doing here?"

"She sick!" The large one held his arms out. A girl with black hair was sitting in his large hands. Small drops of green goo dripped from her body.

The small one bowed his head. "Malice said you powerful ghost. Can you help her?"

Clockwork shook his head. "Her time was up long ago. Only her determination has kept her going this long." He walked over to the girl. "Danni!" The small girl looked up at him. "Your body is slowly falling apart. While I can't save you, I can give you the chance to save another. I needed the seed from Undergrowth to filter out his ghostly energy that still resided in Sam's body. But your body should be able to interact with it and convert it to something less harmful to Sam. It is your decision." Danni smiled and slowly nodded her head. Clockwork bowed. "Your are very brave. Please lay the girl next to Sam." Bruser nodded and did as he was told. He backed away as Clockwork held his time staff up. It shined with white light which wrapped around Danni and Sam. The light filled the area and it vanished. Danni was gone and Sam was sitting up.

"What happened?" Sam rubbed her head and stood up. "I feel better."

"Danni sacrificed what little energy she had to save you." Clockwork floated to her. "Danny's mind has been corrupted by Dan's energy."

"What can we do?"

"Nothing for the time. You need time to adjust to the changes in your body."

"What changes?"

"You will find out soon enough. You two!" Both halfas stepped forward. "I see you have left Malice's army. I will leave Sam in your care."

"Where are you going?"

"To make a deal." Clockwork vanished.

Clockwork reappeared deep in The Ghost Zone. He stood on a large floating rock covered in red fire. A ghost surrounded by fire stood at the center of the island. "Inferno! I would speak with you."

"What do you want ghost of time?"

"I want you to fight Danny Phantom now and defeat him. If you do, I will send you back in time to save yourself from this fate."

"In exchange I assume you want the boy alive."

Clockwork chuckled. "No! I am tired of trying to rescue that boy. Kill him and put an end to this."

Inferno smiled. "I'm starting to like you."
