Upgrade vs. Technus! Let's fight! But let's be friends too!

"What problem with the time stream?" Upgrade asked.

"Exactly what I said. A problem arose within this timeline exactly half a year ago that is in desperate need of repair!" Paradox said.

Danny and Ember were having a hard time believing these guys' story, but at the very least they were trying to be open minded about it. They figured that if ghosts could exist, who's to say that aliens don't exist. And this whole time travel shtick really caught their interest.

"Go on." Upgrade said, motioning for them to continue the story.

Azmuth decided to take it from here. This next part of the story revolves around the watch that Danny transformed with anyway. He took a sip of lemonade that Ember had been kind enough to provide, and began to explain.

"The watch that is currently on your wrist is known as the Omnitrix. It contains the DNA samples of over one million different alien life forms, and has the ability to turn the wearer into any of these aliens! In this timeline, I had sent a second your Omnitrix to you in hopes that you would find it and become a great hero! Alas, problems arose when a small rip in the time stream opened and sent the Omnitrix to a different time line! In the timeline your Omnitrix landed in, it was found by someone who used its powers to become a galactic warlord." Azmuth explained.

Neither of the two liked the sound of that. This dystopian warlord guy sounded like a lot of bad news, and they did NOT wanna deal with someone like that! But Paradox had even more to add to this story. Something that made Danny seriously question his career choice, and what caused this whole mess in the first place.

"And I'm afraid that you were never supposed to have gotten ghost powers in the first place. That incident was the work of an old enemy trying to manipulate the time stream to his will. I can not tell you anymore than that, but I'm certain you will know him when you see him." Paradox explained.

Ember looked at Upgrade in concern. If he wasn't supposed to be half ghost, what was supposed to happen? And how would this affect future events in this timeline? As if sensing Ember's concerns, Upgrade put a comforting hand on her shoulder. She could somehow tell that he was smiling, but she didn't know why.

"Ember, I just want you to know that no matter what was supposed to happen nothing has changed between us!" Upgrade said.

Suddenly, the house began to shake violently! Everyone ran outside to see what was going on, and saw exactly who was causing the problem. It was the technology controlling ghost known as Technus. He had taken control of virtually every piece of technology in the ghost zone, and was on a rampage!

Walker the ghost warden and his ghost police force were doing everything they could to stop him, but their attacks were doing nothing against the tech ghost's durable armor! Technus activated hidden missile launchers and laser guns in his arms. Upgrade looked at the tech, and his lone eye narrowed mischievously.

"So Technus wants to take over our technology? Then let's see how he likes it when the shoe is on the other foot!" Upgrade said as he ran at Technus.

Upgrade turned into a blob and hit Technus in the chest. But instead of simply going splat like the officers thought would happen, black and orange circuitry began to spread all over the armor! Orange spikes also grew out of the forearms and knuckles! Technus was confused by this, but he paid it no mind.

"I don't know what this is, but I, Technus, master of-AGH!"

Technus was cut off from his rambling when he ended up punching himself in the face. That wasn't supposed to happen. Not without Technus doing so, at least.

"Master of boring, long winded speeches!" Upgrade snarked like a smartaleck.

Upgrade started using Technus' arms to attack the ghost. He punched him, slapped him, even used the lasers in the arms to shoot Technus in the face! Within the span of four minutes, Upgrade had beaten Technus to a pile of scrap metal. He unfused from Technus while taking all of the stolen machinery, revealing a ghost that looked like a rejected design of Albert Einstein.

"You know, I think I could get used to the whole alien hero gig." Upgrade said to himself.

Walker and a small platoon of his officers floated over and put a pair of ecto cuffs on the tech controlling ghost. These cuffs prevent ghosts that have been arrested from using their powers. The Omnitrix beeped a few times, and Upgrade turned back into Danny in a flash of orange light. Walker walked over to Danny, and extended a hand to the boy. Not wanting to be disrespectful to an officer of the law, Danny shook hands with Walker.

"Thank you for your assistance in taking down Technus. I doubt we could've brought him in without the help." Walker said with a tip of his hat.

"Happy to help, officer." Danny replied.

Reaching into his coat pocket, Walker took out what appeared to be a police badge and gave it to Danny. Said boy looked confused as to why he was given the badge, so Walker decided to clarify.

"We could use someone with your abilities on the force, so I've decided to make you a member of the police force. Your friend, Ember is already working with us in her spare time." Walker explained.

Danny was a little surprised that he was made a member of the ghost zone police force, but was otherwise glad for the job. It gave him something productive to do outside of school, at least.

"Thank you for the invitation, sir. I accept your offer to join the force! When do I start?" Danny asked.

"You start next week on Monday. You'll be working with Ember as your partner after school hours from three PM to five thirty PM. See you then!" Walker said.

With that taken care of, Walker flew off towards his prison to have Technus incarcerated for his crimes, and have the stolen technology returned to their rightful owners. That was when Ember suddenly remembered something.

"Wait a minute. Danny, how did you end up in that condition anyway?" Ember asked.

"My thoughts exactly!" added Azmuth.

Paradox also looked curious as to what had happened to Danny to put him in the condition that he was found in.

"I was attacked by someone called 'Skulker'. He claimed that he was the ghost zone's greatest hunter, and then tried to turn me into a pelt on his wall! I barely got away with my life!" Danny explained.

Ember clenched her fists and started growling menacingly. This unnerved the time traveler, the Galvan, and the recently recruited officer.

"Skulker. That guy's had a warrant out for his arrest for a long time now." Ember said heatedly.

"What are the charges?" Azmuth asked.

Ember took out a clipboard that had a few dozen papers on it that listed all of Skulker's crimes, and started to read them off.

"Let's see... He's wanted for theft of hunting equipment, hunting and killing endangered species of both ghosts and living beings, sexual assault on a good friend of mine, and attempted rape on said friend. And those are just his worst crimes!" Ember explained.

Hearing these crimes made Danny even madder than he's ever been. He was so tempted to reach for the Omnitrix and just hunt down Skulker with one of his aliens! But he didn't. Danny knew that doing so would make him no better than Skulker. So he resolved to bring Skulker to justice for the many crimes that he has committed!

Sorry the fight with Technus wasn't much of a fight, but he's one of my least favorite characters. I didn't wanna waste any of Danny's heavy hitters against that weirdo! Remember to vote on the poll for the rest of the girls in the harem! See you next time!
