Danny finally reached Ryder's lair the next day. This might be his final day alive, he told himself. But that wouldn't get in his way. Ryder was an extremely powerful ghost.

Danny stood at the gates. "Well," he sighed, "it's now or never." He flew into the castle and broke the doors and found Ryder sitting on his throne, flirting with Ember, who was sitting on his lap, laughing.

"Ew, it's you." Ember says

"What the hell are you doing here?"

Ember floats toward Danny. "You could say he and I share the same qualities."

"We both want to take over these realms." Ryder cackles

"Well, I want to stop you from stealing anymore souls and kick your butt!"

"Fine, then!" Ryder yells, "I accept your challenge!"

There is a flash of lightning and a boom of thunder. Ryder disappears.

"Ha, I showed him! I scared him good!"

"Not quite." Ember says and points to behind him.

"He's right behind me isn't he?"

Ember nods. "Oh yeah."

Danny turns around and Ryder is standing there, in full battle armor. Danny was no match for him.

He's way too powerful, Danny thought to himself.

Just then, Ryder's staff appeared in his hand.

Oh, shit, Danny thought. I'm dead.

Ryder screams as he makes a huge lightning bolt appear from the staff and made it go straight towards Danny.

Danny dodged it just in time.

Now it was Danny's turn. He made an atom-like ghost ray come from his fist.

It barely hurt Ryder when it hit him.

Oh, God, Danny thought. There's no way I can defeat him.

After many vigorous hours of the battle, Danny was almost dead.

"This is the best that you can do? Ha! You're such a loser. You'll never be able to defeat me." Ryder laughs, Ember joins him in the laughter

Danny's eyes flare green.

"Do... Not... Call... Me... A... Loser!" Just then Danny let out almost all of his energy, knocking Ryder almost-unconscious.

Ember ran over to her master and helped him up.

"Come on, Ry, you can do it! He's just a little kid! You can beat him easy!" Ember says softly

Ryder gets up and throws many ice beams at Danny. He dodges them.

"Alright, he's already got the ice powers." Danny looks up. "But so do I." He looks at his hands: iceballs were forming in his hands. "Try this on for size!" Danny throws an iceball at Ryder, which had a portable portal in it.

Danny uses one last ghostly wail on Ryder, before he disappears.

Ryder is gone in the blink of an eye.

Danny and Ember start walking out of the castle.

"Wait a minute, if you put a portal in there, wouldn't Ry be transported back here or to your world?"

"Nope. I programmed that portal to transport him to Level Zero. He won't be back for a while."

Ember hits him. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

"What are you talking about? I thought you wanted to be away from Ryder."

"No! He's my beau! He was gonna marry me soon!"

"Oh, shit."

"I'm gonna kill you!" Ember yells as she blasts Danny with a powerful blast.

Danny didn't have any energy left, so he passed out at Ryder's gates. And Ember took his battle suit. For now, he'd never be able to leave the Ghost Zone since he was on the verge of dying. If he didn't wake up soon, he'd be dead.

But Danny never woke up, he died right there at Ryder's castle. He died saving his daughter and a whole other world. Allie found her father at the gates when she was roaming the Ghost Zone. She brought him back to the portal to his lab and called out to Sam. She came running down the hidden stairs and saw Allie floating there with her dead husband in her arms. Allie gently laid Danny on the ground of the lab and Sam picked up his head gently.

"Is he alive?" Sam asked

Allie shook her head. "I'm sorry, Mom. He's gone. He'll be with me now. I'm sorry."

She reached her hand to touch Sam's but her hand just phased through. Now both of them were crying.

"I'll be back, I promise." Allie flew off into the Ghost Zone back to her home.

And she did come back. Allie returned to Sam after three months. By then, Sam had built a machine that could make a ghost come back to life. She pointed it at Allie. The Ghost of Allie looked like her, but a lot scarier. Sam pressed a button and a huge flash of light emerged from the machine towards Allie. Within seconds, Allie looked like she did six months ago: pretty, perky and alive. Immediately, Sam hugged Allie to make sure she was really there. Allie didn't phase through Sam, she was alive again. They found Danny Phantom (when Danny died his two halves were split and the ghost half stayed in the Ghost Zone, while the other half was burried), and tried to use it on him. But it failed, since Danny had died in the Ghost Zone, not Earth. The machine couldn't bring back ghosts who died in the Ghost Zone. They were so upset that they couldn't bring Danny back to life, but Sam was glad that her daughter was alive again. She hugged Allie again, just because she was glad that Allie was alive and with her.
