Speaking of Danny, he was furiously fighting off Plasmius' clones. But it seemed no matter how many he fought, more would take their place.
"You can't win Daniel" Plasmius gloated "with my powers increased by the Gauntlet, I can create an infinite number of clones to fight for me."
"Too bad they'll all end up hating you" Dani replied, as she flew unto the scene, taking out a few with her powers.
"Ah Danielle, my least favorite treacherous experiment" Plasmius said, "I didn't expect you to be here."
"I didn't want to miss this family reunion" Dani replied, "it's not every day you can beat up the guy who almost destroyed you."
"Wow, your banter is getting a lot better" Danny commented.
"Too bad banter won't save you both" Plasmius replied, firing a blast at Dani. She avoided it and Danny flew over to her.
"Double team?" she asked.
"Oh yeah."
Both then let loose with their ectoplasmic blasts; Plasmius used his shield to avoid them, but knew he wouldn't be much of a match against both of them.

Elsewhere on the battlefield, Sam had the problem of dealing with Shego & Terence, both of whom had been enhanced by the Gauntlet's power.
"I was really expecting Kimmy to show up" Shego said, "but I guess you'll do!"
The woman put her hands together and released a torrent of green flame that nearly enveloped the WOOHP spy.
As for Terence, Vilgax had bequeathed him with super strength, which he demonstrated by hurling a large boulder her way, which Sam barely avoided.
"Looks as though you're caught between a rock and a hard place" he said.
"Your puns are as lame as you are" Sam replied, only to be felled by a blast from behind by Shego.
"Time to put 'little miss spy girl' out of her misery, permanently!" she said, readying her hand for the killing blow.
Just then, a powerful energy blast slammed into her, knocking her into Terence. Sam slowly recovered and saw Ace & Axel standing above her.
"You all right?" Axel asked, offering her his hand.
"I am now" Sam replied as she got to her feet.
"We figured you could use a little help" Ace added.
"Okay, that's it, you guys are toast!" Shego shouted, having gotten back to her feet.
"Not happening sister" Ace said.
"Wow, three against two, those aren't good odds…for you!" Shego said, before rushing forward, her hands aflame.

As the battle raged on, Leo nervously watched Vilgax, who refused to attack unless attacked directly.
I don't understand why he isn't doing anything he thought he has the power to control reality itself, and yet he isn't using it. Why not?
He was roused from his thoughts by the powerful punch of Jack landing mere inches from him.
"Jack get green man!" he bellowed.
"Well I see the Gauntlet didn't affect your intelligence any" Leo joked.
"Grrr, me show you!" Jack said, slamming another fist on the pavement. Leo jumped to avoid it, and before Jack could attack again, he was slammed from behind by the combined power of the Xiaolin monks.
Meanwhile, Shego squared off against both Sam & Axel. Despite the Gauntlet increasing the intensity of her flame blasts, it did not increase her regular fighting skill.
"Stand still so I can fry you two!" she shouted angrily as she fired blast after blast at the two heroes.
"What's wrong, I thought you were supposed to be a challenge?" Sam asked mockingly.
"You're asking for a serious beatdown red, so keep it up!" Shego shouted.
Sam flipped up to avoid another blast and brought both her feet down in Shego's face. As she stood triumphant, Shego grabbed Sam's leg from the ground, pulling her to the floor.
"I warned ya" Shego said, as she loomed over the spy "now you're gonna get it!"
"The only one who's going to get it is you" Axel replied. Before Shego even had a chance to react, he delivered a flying kick to her face, knocking her out cold.
"Just for the record, I had everything under control" Sam told him as he helped her to her feet.
"Sure you did" he replied sarcastically.
Over with Terence, meanwhile, Ace was taking everything the British baddie could give him.
"Looks like yer super strength ain't all that super doc" Ace said, using his sword to slice a dumpster that had been thrown at him.
"True" Terence said "you seem to have avoided all my projectiles."
Before a surprised Ace could react, the villain plowed into him, slamming a fist into his gut. "However, as you can see, it's quite useful for close combat."
He delivered another series of punches to Ace's gut, then one to his face. "What? No witty remarks, no quips?" he asked mockingly "not so tough when the shoe is on the other foot, eh?"
So saying, he hit an uppercut that sent Ace flying a few inches. The battered rabbit watched as Terence approached him.
"So rabbit, any last words before you shuffle off this mortal coil?" he asked.
"Yeah, look out below" Ace said, before using his heat vision to melt the ground beneath the villain's feet. As Terence struggled to keep his balance, Ace shocked him with a well -placed punch to the face.
"Like I said doc, you ain't so super after all."

Back with Plasmius, he was fighting off both Danny and Dani's attacks and had sent out more clones to attack them.
"I told you two you couldn't defeat me," he said, "when will you learn?"
Then, a blast of fire destroyed several of the clones; Plasmius looked and saw Jake, in dragon form, flying nearby.
"I figured you two could use some help" he said.
"Too little, too late, I'm afraid" Plasmius replied floating towards him, "you won't be helping them anymore."
"Guess again, fruit loop!" Danny said, firing a blast towards him.
Plasmius didn't have time to activate his shield and was knocked for a loop from the blast. Dani added a few blasts of her own, but it was Danny who finished the job with one of his cryo-blasts.
"Oh fudge tarts!" the frozen Plasmius exclaimed.
"Way to go, cuz!" Dani said happily.
"And now that Plasmius is on ice, I have a Gauntlet to destroy" Danny replied as he flew off towards Vilgax.

"It's over" Leo addressed Vilgax "your forces have been defeated and it's just you against all of us."
"Don't be so quick to claim victory yet, reptile" Vilgax replied "you should know I always have one trick up my sleeve."
Suddenly Karai, who had been strangely absent from the fight, arrived and took a position next to Vilgax.
"It took me a while, but I found what you needed" she said, handing him a slip of paper.
"Stop him, don't let him use the Gauntlet!" Leo shouted.
"On top of it" Danny said, until he suddenly felt himself freeze up. "What's…happening?" he said "can't…move!"
Indeed none of the other heroes could make a move, as much as they wanted to.
"Forgot about Drakken, didn't ya?" Dr. Drakken asked, emerging from nearby with a handheld machine. "Well good old Vlgax didn't, and he helped me design a new and improved Immobilizer."
"And now, you shall bear witness as reality itself bends to my will" Vilgax replied. He touched each of the gems in order, resulting in a flash.
"Okay, this isn't good" Mikey replied.
Ace however, realized that though he couldn't move his body, he didn't need to and fired his heat blasts toward the Immobilizer.
"Not again!" Drakken shouted as the machine shattered "why do all my inventions have to break?"
"Stop Vilgax!" Leo ordered, but it was too late.
"Behold, Vilgax, master of all reality!"
"Aw shell" Raph replied.
Next time, Vilgax uses his new powers to obtain the Omnitrix and uses it and the Gauntlet against out heroes. Thankfully, an old friend comes to their aid, but will she be of any help?
