Danny Phantom Unlimited

Chapter 13

Sick Sad World, Prologue

What the world needs.

Two weeks ago a ghost bomb blew up half of Amity Park, in an incident known now as "The Bombing of Amity Park". That same day Technus broke Danny's ghost core unleashing his unlimited potential but taking away all control over his power, leaving him as good as powerless, unable to stop the incoming war between the human world and the Ghost Zone. Crippled, he sought out for help from a "shady gentlemen" who granted him a new cutting edge battle-suit that would not only hold his powers together as it heals them but it would also allow him to tap into his unlimited potential without losing control, making him stronger than before.

Now he flies higher and faster than ever reaching heights he could only dream of reaching on his own, ready to meet the man of mystery that gave him his new suit.

When Danny called Mr. M to set a meeting claiming he wanted to talk to him in person, he expected to meet him either in a really big fancy building or in a dark parking lot, but the meeting point was beyond the limits of what he could have imagined.

Instead of a ground based headquarter, the New Millennium Foundation operation center is a giant hovercraft at least the size of Amity Park. Just the mere sight of it from the distance took his breathe away and rendered him speechless barely able to utter a faint "wow" in its presence.

The H# was large chromed V-shaped airborne platform with large reflective glass windows on each side and a very large crystal sphere in the middle which seemed to be a ghost energy powered engine resembling a giant plasma lamp.

Flying closer to this massive flying aircraft he sees the structure is even larger than he first conceived.

- How am I supposed to find M in this place?

- Don't worry, in the spirit of games like Zelda, I'll be the annoying fairy that will lead you through halls of this labyrinth. Only but instead of a fairy I'm just a voice in your head and instead of an old castle, it is a city large high-tech aircraft - explains G.A.S.P.E.R., his suit's ghostly operational system.

- Dude, there is so much wrong with what you just said.

Following the instructions of his suit, Danny floats through the hovercraft's halls getting amazed at every turn with everything he saw, the technology of the base was nothing like he had ever seen. It was like staring into the future.

- Tucker would love this place. - He states.

Finally he phases into Mr. M's office where he was sitting waiting for him. His office was a dark room with only one spotlight on Danny's head leaving Mr. M's face in the dark. The scenario seemed a cliche ripped off from a spy movie but Danny was willing to play along. He knew it had to be a dark room with no doors or windows, absolutely isolated for utmost privacy so he could talk to him about his latest decision to join the New Millennium Foundation.

- …So, you have decided to join us? - asks Mr. M hiding the excitement and surprise in his voice. - You have no idea the joy it fills me with to hear you have decided to become one of us. But… may I inquire why exactly?

- The thing is… I can't do tit, ok? It's only been two weeks since the bomb and the ghost are starting to go all-out war on us and… I know this isn't even the beginning of the real war. Ghost are attacking the real world more than ever before and I'm powerless to stop them all, even with my team and my upgrades-I couldn't even control my powers if it wasn't because of this suit you gave me. Thanks by the way.

- You're welcome.

- I want to save the world, but… you were right, I can't do it alone, and my team… my resources… they're too limited. If I want to save the world, I have to get better, I have to be unlimited… I have to be part of your foundation.

- I see… Before we come to a final decision I must tell you this, there are more things to this war that you do not know. Things I know and given you are the only one who can save us at the end, I owe it to you to let you know but for that same reason I must ask you one thing before telling you anything

- What is it? My mom's phone number? - he asks with his usual jocular.

- You see, to save the world we need to change more than just you.

- How so? What do you mean? - asks Danny tilting his head confused.

- To save the world, we must first change it… we got to make it better as well. I need your help to change the planet, to make it… a Phantom Planet. Would you help me do that?

A Day for Tomorrow

Amity Park, 6 Years into the future.

- "And now, the election week is over, votes are counted, the decision has been made - says the news host -. After a very heated and close contend, the new and first president of the human-ghost world zone is… ladies and gentlemen, Danny Phantom, winning by a very, very close range, with only 1,02 % of votes over his contender, Nicolai Technus. This is the true beginning of a new era, one where the human world and the ghost zone will finally be one world, and will have a place in the Galactic Council, a face to represent both humans and ghost alike, as a single specie…"

Those were the words that changed the world. People around it goes crazy when they hear those words, humans, ghost and hybrids alike. Of course those who where on Technus side where sad and angry like when Obama beat senator McCain in the elections of 2008. But those on my side… I can see them partying like crazy on the streets. Literally, I don't know if I should step in… maybe it'll make things worst. Besides I have a meeting with my team.

Location, still non-existent.

I step through the double solid plasma doors at the other end of a silver, green and black hall and close them behind me. As I keep walking forward, I spot a man with green skin and a ponytail, wearing a black cloak who walks out of the shadows as I turn away from the doors

- President Phantom - said Technus to me.

- Senator Technus.

The two of us step up and face each other like if we wanted to kill the other, then start to giggle, then roar with laughter.

- Boom baby! - we say while we give each other a high-five and a low-five.

- I almost thought we were gonna tie for a minute there. - He says with a big smile on his green face. - That would have screwed us all.

- You and me both. Still… you played it perfectly, there was no way we failed. You know what that means.

- Yes, I sure do - says with great relief.

- …Is everyone here?

- Yes, the whole Phantom and Technus team is here.

- Nick, we had this conversation before, that's an awful name - I say opening the black double door at the end of the hall -. From now on… we are the New Millennium Corps - I say walking into the room. - The most powerful phantom team in the universe.

I walk in and take a look at my new teammates: Ember McLain fashioning a new even more rocker outfit with a fish net underneath her, uh, let's say remains of T-shit, ragged leather pants and a very tight and short skirt with a flaming skulls belt, Spectra wearing a more elegant and decent body tight dress with small shoulder pads -very 90's-esque- and what I think is a very big cleavage, the Fright Knight "2.0" with a Technus-Phantom armor, and of course my cronies Tucker, Dani and Valerie.

- Whatever you say, you are the president now - he says.

- Yeah, so I've heard, buddy - said Tucker.

- I know, I love democracy, when it works on my favor of course. God, when did I become a politician?

- You guys are out of your freakin' minds, you know that? - he points not knowing how much truth there is in his words.

- Yes, we do - I reply.

- Bravo! - exclaims Spectra. - For years you two have been working on this plan and you've finally pulled it off! Question is, what are you pulling off? After all this time and work you still haven't tell us what.

- Whatever it is… Sure hard part's over, right? - Dani asks.

- Actually, the hard part's just starting - states Technus.

- I knew it! I knew when you two ran for President you were just working an angle - Tuck says grinning.

- Always workin' the angles. - I said. - Guys, we've all known each other a long time, had many incredible adventures, saved the world countless time - I say looking at my oldest friends -, tried to kill each other only to change our lives in way we never thought possible - I say looking at my most unexpected allies -, but this is going to be our greatest feat ever. The ultimate goal that will ensure a legacy-our legacy shall be… unlimited…

- So… Now, what's next on the agenda, President? - Tucker asks.

- Business as usual - I says with smirk.

- Business as usual - Technus repeats.

- Now prepare… 'cuz phase two of our plan is on the way.

- That's my favorite phase - Ember says, stretching her body over the sofa she was laying on, exposing her underboob down her tattered t-shirt.
