Note: I will only refer to Danny's alternate future self as Phantom. It was the only thing he was actually called during the special, and it's fairly accurate (he's basically Danny Phantom with the Danny part ripped out of him). That and I think "Dan" just sounds kinda stupid.
Phantom looked upon Clockwork's home with caution, expecting the time master to appear at any moment with that calm, lightly amused smirk of his.
After making sure Clockwork was nowhere to be found, he quickly grabbed a time medallion and flew out of the tower.
'There's a whole new world to destroy now, plans to make, enemies to ruin,' Phantom thought grinning ant the prospect of being able to repeat the destruction he caused in the alternate timeline.
But being trapped in a thermos for so long had been extremely frustrating. He saw in the distance a large landmass with what looked like a settlement large enough for a few hundred ghosts.
An insane grin appeared on his face.
'Time to blow off some steam.'
Pariah floated in the depths of the zone, the ghosts seeing him panicking and fleeing in terror.
Despite how he had seemed when facing the Observants, what they had said disturbed him deeply.
'No you must seize power to truly rule, the fools simply couldn't understand that.' He reasoned.
Still his revelations did come very soon after he had first worn the crown and ring.
"AGHH!" Pain seared in his head and his desire to find his crown intensified. Unknown to him the ring of rage glowed, the eyes of the skull printed on it radiated with malevolence.
"Perhaps I should rest for a spell, and create a plan to retrieve my crown." The Ghost King said.
He spotted a familiar location and dove to it.
Dora's Renaissance kingdom (with time passing normally now the kingdom had passed the Middle Ages into the Renaissance) had prospered with Aragon out of the way, making such things like widespread riot and panic unheard of.
So when widespread riot and panic was heard to be in the main streets it didn't take long for Princess Dora to hear about it and go to investigate.
"What is going…oh my…no." she said, staring dumbfounded that in the middle of the main street was King Pariah Dark.
When Pariah saw Dora standing there he smiled, and lumbered over to her.
"My Daughter!" He bellowed, "It is good to see you again. I did not find you during my first release; I assume it was because of all the commotion with those cowards leaving the zone."
"Ahhh!" Dora screamed, stumbling out of her stupor and running in panic.
"Daughter! Come Back!" The Ghost King yelled, flying after her.
'The horror on her face, she was always a little upset at my methods, always a bit soft, takes after her mother that way, but I never expected…" He thought, the Observants words creeping up one more.
And once more horrific pain crept into his body.
"AAGGGHHHHH!" Pariah bellowed, falling to the ground, his body twitching horribly.
"Father!" He heard his daughter yell, right before he lost consciousness.
Pariah awoke slowly, his head throbbing. Getting to his feet he quickly noticed that he was in one cells of the old subterranean dungeons, which had, to his surprise was empty except for one other prisoner on the other side of the chamber, too far away to actually see.
"Father." Dora said quietly, entering the dungeon room with a tray of food, a sad expression adoring her pale face.
"Daughter! What is the meaning of this?" Pariah roared, anger and confusion plain on his face. "I come back to my birth home, the former heart of my kingdom, and I am thrown into the very cells home to the Ghost Zone's worst, most traitorous enemies!"
Dora shrank back, her nervous hands letting of the food tray which instantly crashed to the ground, every inch of the confidence gained from standing up to and being feed from her brother instantly fading away.
"I-" she started weakly, trying to explain her actions.
"-was a coward and a fool!" A much stronger voice echoed from the other side of the dungeon.
The other prisoner walked up to the edge of the cell, his pale blue arms grabbing the cold, steel bars.
"Aragon! My son! Is that you?" The ghost king cried. Staring in disbelief at the fact that his son and successor was trapped in a filthy cell, much like his indignation that he was put in a similar filthy cell.
Aragon looked significantly worse for ware. His hair was wild and unkempt, clothes ragged and torn, his eyes showed the insanity of being trapped in the dungeons for so long.
"I tried to stop her father, but the traitorous witch conspired with the ghost child that imprisoned you, to change-to ruin your kingdom!" Despite his appearance, Aragon's voice still carried its confident, commanding tone.
"I had no choice father!" Dora pleaded. "The power of the amulet had made him a tyrant long before!"
"Bah! More of this 'corruption', all it did was show him what was needed to seize true power!" Pariah said.
"I couldn't even keep my mind with the amulet, until recently." Dora cried. "Look!"
Dora pulled out an amulet and waved it close to her brother. Instantly Aragon's eyes took on an even crazier look.
"Give me my power!" Aragon screamed, nostrils flaring. "Give it to me!"
Pariah watched intently, transfixed on his son's behavior. The scene before him reminded him so much of what he felt when separated from the crown and the ring and to see his son acting as he did…
The Ring of Rage glowed once again and searing pain shot up in the ancient king.
Find the crown a deep voice resonated in his head, malevolence dripping from each word spoken.
'The voice,' Pariah thought, through the suffering he was feeling. 'I have heard it before.'
And memories drifted back to the past, of how this voice assured him of his goals, how it drowned out pleas of how the powers of the crown and ring had corrupted him, how it convinced him to retrieve the Amulets of Aragon.
With a final yelp of pain the Ghost King removed the Ring of Rage from his finger and threw it to the far side of the dungeon.
The king fell to his knees breathing heavily, though before he could regain his footing an explosion shook the very ground.
Not a moment later the ceiling exploded, revealing Phantom grinning down upon them.
"So exactly how do you know Wulf again?" Valerie asked stepping out of the rift between the dimensions Wulf had created.
"Oh, after the Desasteroid incident, we met up and after finding out that we were both friends of Danny we decided to hang out a bit." Dani remarked cheerfully.
"Uh huh." Valerie said warily.
"Oh don't worry, he's house trained," Danni joked "and he's really affectionate."
As if to demonstrate, Wulf licked both Dani and Valerie covering them with ghostly saliva.
Dani simply laughed, while Valerie angrily muttered something about how much she hated ghost dogs.
Suddenly massive flashed of light glowed in the distance followed by the sounds of explosions.
"Woah! What was that?" Dani asked.
"Don't know, but I bet it's not good." Valerie replied heading towards the anomaly.
"Finally! Done!" Danny exclaimed, finishing up what would hopefully be the last of the paperwork that would involve the treaty between Earth and the Land of the Far Frozen.
"Agreed, that was most annoying Great One." Frostbite said next to him. "Though hopefully it will lead to better relations between my people and the Earth,"
"Ugh, nothing could be worth than 18 hours of nonstop paperwork." Tucker complained angry that his position as mayor coupled with his close ties with to Danny Phantom had made him have to come along.
"Oh, it wasn't that bad." Maddie said. "In fact I found the way of how ghosts handle politics fascinating." Jack and Maddie insisted to coming along into the Ghost Zone, such an opportunity was a dream come true, for two people who had devoted their lives to studying ghosts.
"Right Jack?" Maddie said prodding her sleeping husband.
"Wha…" Jack said barely awake (which became fully awake once he saw how his wife was glaring at him). "Oh yeah! Especially the part where you threw that chair Frostbite!"
The yeti simply smiled sheepishly in response.
"Guys! Come Quick!" The voice of Sam came through.
The would-be diplomats raced outside Frostbite's palace to see the commotion. Sam, Jazz and about a dozen Guys in White agents were looking in the distance at several flashes of light accompanied by the sounds of explosions coming from a landmass in the distance.
"What is it!" Tucker cried.
Frostbite and Danny looked on more warily, the sounds of battle clear to them.
"Trouble" They replied in unison.
High above Dora's kingdom the Ghost King fired a powerful ball of ectoplasm which barely missed Phantom, singing his cape and falling down, destroying much of the landscape. Pariah Dark drew his flail backwards, destroying the duplicate trying to sneak up on him in a puff of smoke.
Phantom grimaced. When he first set out to cause massive destruction and blow off some steam he hadn't expected to find the Ghost King, who had proven to be an admirable opponent. Phantom's clothes were ragged and torn, and the ghost himself was exhausted, ectoplasm was leaking out cuts all over his body in the same manor as blood to a human.
While Pariah Dark was in little better shape it was apparent to Phantom that he would need an edge to win.
"Well time to break out my secret weapon." Phantom muttered.
And with that he inhaled deeply and a second later let out a massive ghostly wail, sending Pariah flying back into Dora's palace, the combination of the wail, the impact, and the shockwave destroying the palace and most of what was left of the kingdom.
Phantom began laughing, but was quickly interrupted by laser fire that set him crashing down as well. Phantom slowly got up to get the look at who had caused the sneak attack.
Standing in front of him was his past self, hand smoking. Next to him were a dozen G.I.W. agents, Jack, Maddie, Sam, and Tucker (all armed) and what looked like an entire army of yetis.
"Hey spook." A strong voice said from behind.
The psychopathic ghost turned around and came face to face with Valerie, Wulf, and what looked like a younger female version of his former self.
From the wreckage of the city appeared Dora and Aragon, now wearing the Amulets of Aragon and in their full dragon state's. Below them the residents of the kingdom appeared below, now armed and wanting to fight back against the one who destroyed their home.
And to top it off Pariah was slowly recovering from his ghostly wail.
Deciding that the odds were not in his favor, Phantom quickly created a portal to Earth and jumped through.
'Well that was disappointing.' Phantom thought 'Still not a total loss.'
Phantom drew from his hand the Ring of Rage.
