Well, it looks like Nantukos isn't going to leave me alone any time soon. I've been up since 4:00 am on a Saturday morning, writing limericks. You have no idea how much I hate this.

"Please give Danny my ultimatum,"
said Lancer. "Miss Fenton, persuade him!
I know that he's crooked
(though not how he took it);
it's what I overheard that betrayed him."

Though Skulk/Tech put on a good show,
the PDA brought them down low.
The medallion was lost,
to the ghost zone they're tossed,
with three helpless humans in tow.

The kids saw Dark Dan go berserk,
Destroying the town with a smirk,
"So is that the result,
when you are an adult?
I have some bad news: you're a jerk!"

Danny watched all this action with glee,
then he crowed, "Wow! Is that really me?
What an awesome display!
I'll be godlike someday,
although. . . to an evil degree."

"Introductions? I'm Clockwork, your host,
a most powerful, time-tripping ghost.
It's my grave obligation
to save that population,
I'm sorry, young Daniel, you're toast!

Danny tried to show Clockwork a bad 'tude,
"Hey—I don't have to take this from you, dude.
The ghost replied, "Child,
I can't let you run wild.
Your behavior puts me in a foul mood."
