Filler Arc
A Shocking Development
Danny Phantom sat at the top of one of the highest buildings in the city of Amity Park. It was some time after he broke into Vlad's mansion with Ulrich and Odd to search for clues leading to Vlad only to find prove that Xana was still alive. It was now starting to look like everything that happened after Xana's death was part of something bigger. Danny didn't notice his younger clone a.k.a cousin Danielle land on the roof behind him in her ghost form.
"Something bothering you, cuz?" asked Dani,
"Hey, Dani. I am just thinking about all that's happened. I mean it now looks like we were set up from the beginning. Xana's death, the Ecto Promethium, Freakshow and Undergrowth, and the Gasworks. It's now abvious they were all just part of some big twisted plot and Xana was pulling the strings." said Danny.
"So, you dealt with more then enough bad ghosts to let something like this get to you. I mean the others are on the lookout so we should have no problem. Anyway the real reason I am here is to tell you about Technus and Skulker but since you're so busy . . ." said Dani, smiling mischievously.
"What about them?" asked Danny?
"Just that they broke out of the Ghost Zone a while back and they're back in the city. I found Skulker's hideout and wanted to bring you but since you're busy sulking . . . : said Dani.
"Show me." said Danny.
Dani smiled as he stood up.
"That's better. I just know kicking their tin plated ecto butts will make you feel better." said Dani,
"Somehow I think you're right." said Danny.
Dani took off into the air with Danny following her as they flew through the city.
"So how did you find about Skulker and Technus?" asked Danny,
"I have my sources plus you're not the only one with ghost sense." said Dani.
They flew through the city and Dani landed in a warehouse at the coast. Dani landed and waited for her cousin to land and then opened the door.
"What would Skulker be doing here?" asked Danny,
"I damaged his suit before he escaped and I decided to bring you along for back up." said Dani.
"You went up against Skulker by yourself?" asked Danny,
"Relax cuz, I can handle him." said Dani.
The door opened to reveal a massive room with fans on the ground blowing air upwards. Skulker stood on the railing as he looked down.
"Well if it isn't the whelp and the whelpette. I don't know how you managed to track me but you saved me the trouble of hunting you down for your pelts." said Skulker,
"Don't you ever get tired of saying that?" asked Dani.
"I'm tired of hearing it." said Danny,
"Silence, whelps!" said Skulker.
Skulker started to launch missiles which the two Phantoms dodged and started firing ecto bolts which the hunter dodged as well. Dani flew in close and launched an ecto bolt which turned into a net and trapped the hunter.
"What is this?" asked Skulker,
"Just the hunter becoming the hunted." said Dani.
Skulker growled and his back started glowing. Dani stepped back as the light grew it large ball and the room seemed to darken from the charged weapon. Danny quickly grabbed Dani and flew as it turned into a massive ecto shockwave which destroyed the net and Skulker laughed as he stood up.
"The hunter never allows himself to be captured by his prey, whelps." said Skulker.
Skulker aimed his arms at them and missiles started to fly. The Phantoms started to dodge as Skulker released lasers, missiles, and ghostly containers to capture them. Danny quickly flew and delivered a quick punch to the hunter which sent him flying. Skulker got up and launched an ecto grapple which wrapped around Danny and swung it around and had Danny the ground and the wall.
Dani quickly fired a blast at Skulker which exploded like a flash bomb and blinded the hunter. Danny took this distraction as an advantage and broke free. The Phantoms quickly fired several ecto bolts which hit Skulker hard and sent him flying back. The hunter looked up and glared at the Phantoms.
"This is not over, whelps." said Skulker.
He quickly released a firestorm of missiles at the Phantoms and quickly turned intangible to phase through the wall while the Phantoms dodged.
"So much for a big bad hunter. He just flew away like a frightened rabbit." said Dani,
"He'll be back." said Danny.
Dani nodded.
"I guess so. I need to run. I promised to help Jazz decorate for the following art convention. She's still trying to convince Aunt Maddie and Uncle Jack to not bring any ghost weapons to the school." said Dani,
"I know about that. You should see them argue on Christmas." said Danny.
"I can understand them arguing on Halloween because Uncle Jack can't stand when he has to hand out fudge instead of eating it but Christmas." said Dani,
"Well at least all ghost have a truce on that day." said Danny.
"That is a day I can look forward to." said Dani.
She flew through the roof laughing and Danny smiled. He took off and flew through the city. It was still night time in the city and the city was quiet for once. Danny landed on the roof and looked around. It was quiet for now.
Mall
"I love this new shop. All the technology here is every techno geek's dream." said Tucker.
He was busy buying all the latest bits of technology there when something happened. A cackle was heard throughout the mall. A green face with white hair in a mullet and sunglasses covering his eyes appeared on the TV screens.
"I, Technus, shall use this new technology for my plans to take over the world! Oooh! New Ovens! I can have that for making my crab cakes!" said Technus.
With that Technus started to take control of every electronic shop in the mall. Robots that looked like aliens on vehicles appeared and started shooting lasers.
"These new Hollywood aliens work much better with my upgrade." said Technus.
Suddenly an ecto bolt was heard and several of Technus' robots blew up. Technus looked up to see Danny fly.
"I thought you were done shouting your plans." said Danny,
"Technus only rants that he will take over the world not how he will do it." said Technus.
Danny fired an ecto bolt which hit Technus in the chest and knocked him down. He then quickly pulled out the Fenton Thermos and sucked the ghost into it.
"He really needs to stop making long speeches." said Danny.
Fenton Works
Danny landed in front of his house and changed into his human form. He looked to see the Lyoko gang come out with Jazz and they all wore grim expressions.
"What's going on?" asked Danny,
"Danny, Xana's stolen blimp has been spotted over at the Gasworks." said Jazz.
"It's already started." said Ulrich,
"What has?" asked Danny.
"Xana's death and everything that has happened since has been part of something bigger. Some kind of big twisted joke." said Ulrich,
"How? Why?" asked Jazz.
"That's what I plan to find out." said Danny.
Next time: Out of the Frying Pan and into the Inferno
"I'm not dead and Amity Park is."
"And the Ecto Promoethium?"
"That's the burning question isn't it. My monsters will show that Ecto Promethium and a little fire are two great deaths that kill great together."
