Timmy and Wanda had found their way to the home of Pandora. It was located in the Acropolis of Athens in the Ghost Zone. She had an immaculate mansion. She had led Timmy and Wanda to her dining chambers. There she sat at the head of the table. A crystal ball was placed in the middle of the table. Timmy and Wanda sat on either side of Pandora.
There were other seats at the table. Pandora was waiting for other members of what she referred to as the Ghost Tribunal. After a few minutes the three other seats had been occupied. A ghost that kept transitioning from a baby, to an adult, to an elderly man took the first seat. "This is Clockwork, a dear colleague of mine," Pandora explained. "Welcome, Clockwork." He inclined his head in acknowledgement.
The second seat had been taken by a large creature that, at first, terrified Timmy. It resembled a polar bear and a yeti at the same time. "Timmy Turner, meet Frostbite. He is in charge of the Realm of the Far Frozen."
"Hiya," Timmy said nervously, pulling at the collar of his shirt.
The third and final seat had been filled by a ghost wearing a crown with a large thing of cheese underneath it. He wore robes of red and his staff had ice cream on top of it. "Hello there, young Timmy," the ghost said.
"This is the Dairy King," Pandora explained. "One of the more conventional ghosts, but still very powerful."
"May I?" Clockwork asked. Pandora nodded and Clockwork stood up. He kept transitioning in age, so it took Timmy and Wanda some getting used to. "We are all here to assess the situation at hand. There has been a massive breakout of ghosts into the human world and the only one who could have prevented it has gone with the others, that being Walker."
"The only other one who can do anything about it has been taken prisoner," Pandora added.
"You mean Danny?" Wanda asked.
"Indeed, fairy," Clockwork replied. "Danny has been captured and taken to the Master."
"Where is the Master?" Timmy asked.
"All in good time, young mortal," Frostbite said. "To save Danny you first need to understand everything."
"What you all need to understand is that my fairies have been captured!" Timmy said. "You can't just expect me to sit here and do nothing!"
"Calm yourself," the Dairy King said. "You will see them again. I just so happen to know where the Master resides."
"Well what are we waiting for!?" Wanda exclaimed. She grabbed Timmy and made to leave, but Clockwork froze the two of them in time with his staff. He then waved his hand and only their faces unfroze.
"Before you free your fairies, it is Danny you must seek," Clockwork explained. "Without his help you've no chance at freeing your fairies." He then unfroze the two of them and placed them back in their seats.
"Quite so," Pandora agreed. "You see the Master has committed an act of great evil. Danny Phantom has been turned."
"Turned?" Timmy asked.
"The Master has used his powers to turn Danny evil," Frostbite said. "Danny is already a threat to many ghosts, but his dark side is dangerous to not just ghosts but now humans and fairies alike."
"That's ridiculous!" Wanda said.
"I have proof," Clockwork explained.
"You didn't bring him here, did you?" Pandora asked.
"If this young child is the only means of helping Danny, we have to show him," Clockwork explained.
"Show me what?" Timmy asked.
Clockwork produced a small thermos. All the ghosts positioned themselves around the table each holding a small, grey tube-like device. Clockwork then tossed the thermos onto the table. A swirl of smoke protruded from the opening and yet another ghost emerged before the group. Each council member pressed a button on their devices and electric whips emerged tying themselves around the ghost.
"Say hello to Dan Phantom," Clockwork said. Floating above the group was a ghost unlike any Timmy had encountered thus far. He could see the strong resemblance between this ghost and the one that had appeared in his room. "This ghost is my responsibility. He is the older version of Danny Phantom and is a fusion of Danny's ghost-half and Vlad Plasmius' ghost-half."
"Who?" Timmy and Wanda asked.
"Danny's personal rival," Clockwork replied. "Vlad Plasmius is the one responsible for bringing nearly every ghost to Dimmsdale."
Timmy became enraged but Wanda placed a hand on his shoulder, calming him down. "So what? This is like a future version of Danny?" Timmy asked.
"He used to be," Pandora explained. "He now exists outside of time, thanks to Danny and his friends."
"The reason we have brought him here is to show you what Danny is now like, courtesy of the Master," Clockwork stated.
At that moment Dan opened his mouth and a ghostly wail emitted causing the whips to disconnected from his body. Everyone had been blasted backwards and it appeared that Dan was free once more. Once Timmy was able to stand back up he saw all the ghosts attempt to lasso Dan, but to no avail. "Fools! You've no hope of catching me!" Dan then fired several dozen ectoplasmic blasts at the Ghost Tribunal never missing a shot.
He turned to aim for Timmy and his fairy when he stopped, clearly intrigued at the floating creature. "What is this?" he asked.
"I wish I had a device that could capture that ghost!" Timmy exclaimed.
Dan laughed as he approached the two. "Wishing will do you no good!"
Suddenly a large metal net appeared in Timmy's hands. He pressed a button on it and the net sucked in everything directly in front of it, which at this point was Dan. "What the!?" Dan exclaimed. Connected to the net was another thermos which Dan was then put in after being sucked into the net.
Timmy tossed the thermos to Clockwork who smiled in appreciation. "Perhaps there is hope after all," he said.
