The next morning Jack and the others had sailed closer and closer to the giant form of the observant, unaware that Danny, Sam, Jazz, Frostbite, Cujo and Desiree were right behind them in the air. Danny held onto Sam while Frostbite carried Jazz.
"You have arrived" The Observant said and then disappeared back inside the oracle.
As soon as the observant was gone, the boat rocked a bit and fog began to appear, they all looked around for the island but there was nothing there, Dan was starting to get really angry.
He came up close to Jack and shouted, "I have had enough of your trickery!"
"No! This is it, the Vanishing Isle. Just watch" Jack said.
They all looked and then suddenly the boat rocked more and more as huge currents began to form, they all gasped and yelled in shock as suddenly the top of a building started rising out of the ocean right in front of them, along with statues and other buildings as well, Jack smiled and then so did Dan as the island continued to rise and rise more. As the island rose the ship caught on the land part and rose with it and everyone looked in awe as a giant head of a turtle burst out of the water revealing the entire island was actually a giant turtle. Danny and the others flew around the island just amazed of the structure.
"The Vanishing Isle!" Danny said with awe. Sam then added, "On the back of a giant turtle"
"So that's what it meant by the island never being in the same place twice, it's constantly on the move under the water!" Jazz exclaimed.
Frostbite nodded in agreement and said, "Kind of like the natural portals of the Ghost Zone, they are constantly shifting"
"Let's get closer. Dan and the others are around here somewhere" Danny said and they flew closer in.
Dan and the others continued walking through the city, Dan kept on pushing Jack forward when he fell behind. Danny signalled Desiree to begin the attack, Desiree parachuted down as a female version of Rambo and shouted as she landed and pointed the gun at all of them, "TIME TO ROCK AND ROLL DUDES!"
She began firing the gun and all of them ducked down to avoid the bullets, Dan's eyes widened at the sight and then with a growl he grabbed Jack close to him and dragged him away from the scene. The thieves started getting back up and ready to fight, they laughed for a second as they saw Sam, Jazz, Cujo, Frostbite and Youngblood standing in front of them, they all then charged at them, Frostbite froze a bit of the ground underneath them causing them all to slip backwards, Sam charged at Bullet and dodged his punch at her, she then kicked him in the stomach, Jazz pulled out an ecto staff and hit Elastica and Midget-ghost with it, leaving Cujo and Youngblood to fight Lydia and her tattoos. Just when it looked like Lydia was about to win, Cujo snuck behind and her and bit her right on the bum, causing her to scream and run around in pain, Jazz then knocked her out with the staff.
Valerie was fighting Frostbite in her battle suit, she fired a net trapping the icy yeti and she smiled with a grin, she then felt someone tapping her shoulder and turned around to see Sam standing behind her who then delivered a hard punch to her face and knocked her unconscious.
Bullet were rubbing their heads, Desiree smiled and stood behind a statue, she then pushed it off the platform and it landed right on top of them. She then transformed into a muscular wrestling woman and punched Goliath right to the other side of the island. Danny stood on top of one of the pillars watching Dan shove Jack more and more forward, Desiree then appeared beside Danny.
"Desiree we need a distraction" Danny said.
"Survey says show me turtle!" Desiree said as she transported in front of the turtle and began punching it like a professional wrestler.
"BOOM! ANOTHER PUNCH TO THE HEAD! BOOM!" Desiree exclaimed in a deep voice and continued punching the turtle.
The turtle then opened its mouth and then Desiree flew inside as it closed it again, she then began to tickle the uvula at the back of the throat while exclaiming, "TICKLE! TICKLE! TICKLE!"
The turtle screeched and then the whole island shook for a few seconds, almost causing Jack and Dan to lose their balance. Danny then jumped down and delivered a powerful ecto blast to Dan's chest knocking him on his back.
"It took me years to find my father! I'm not losing him again!" Danny exclaimed.
Dan stood back up, but then he was suddenly knocked back again by a powerful ghostly wail, causing him to hit his head on the fall and knock him unconscious. Danny transformed back into his human half and untied the ropes from Jack's hands.
"You came to help me?" Jack asked surprised.
"How can I do anything else?" Danny said which earned him a smile from Jack.
"Now let's get that treasure of yours" Danny said and the two then walked over Dan and down the corridor.
At the end of the corridor, they found a large temple that had many statues of Pariah Dark and all different pictures on the walls that showed what he did during his reign over the Ghost Zone and then this city.
"Amazing" Jack said in awe.
They walked to the middle of the room to see a giant golden floating hand up above them in the air, which is where they would find the Hand of Pariah Dark. They suddenly heard the turtle screech again and the ground began to shake once more but this time harder than the last one.
"I think Desiree got carried away" Danny said with a laugh.
"No! It's the Vanishing Isle, the turtle is diving we must climb higher!" Jack exclaimed as he headed towards the walls.
Danny looked at the corridor and saw water rushing down it, he ran over to the walls and transformed into his ghost half, he flew up and grabbed Jack began flying higher and higher as more water came rushing in. Back outside the corridor, the rushing water had woken Dan up and he stood up coughing water, he looked down the corridor and smiled as he heard the voices of Jack and Danny shouting and he flew down the corridor knowing that when there's them, that's where he will find the Hand of Pariah Dark.
As Danny and Jack got higher and higher, the statues of Pariah Dark began sprouting water out of their mouths and continued flooding the room. Danny landed with Jack on top of one of the statues heads and they watched in awe as the statue standing on top of the giant golden hand spun slowly showing the ultimate treasure right before their very eyes, the Hand of Pariah Dark! Tears of joy sparked in Jack's eyes but he quickly wiped them away.
"Pity I didn't find this place years ago. This would be much easier if I were much younger" Jack said as he prepared to make the jump, but Danny beat him to it as he flew over and landed on the edge of the giant hand, but almost fell as the hand tipped a bit causing Jack to gasp in fright for a second.
But Danny regained his balance and stood in the middle of the hand and exclaimed, "You see? It pays to have a junior partner whose half-ghost!"
"Be careful son! Don't touch the golden hand, only the handle" Jack said with caution.
Danny grabbed the handle and pulled the hand out of the statue, he stared at it with awe and then said, "Heads up!"
He threw the hand to Jack, who then used a bit of his jacket to catch it, he began laughing as the hand suddenly turned his jacket into solid gold, and Danny smiled at this as he held the handle and held it up in the air.
"The Hand of Pariah Dark!" Jack exclaimed and then touched the statue underneath him with it.
In an instant the hand's magic spread through every corner of the room turning every statue and everything around them into solid gold, Danny watched in awe and amazement as the water beneath them changed its colour into a yellow colour as it reflected off the walls. However the moment stopped when they noticed the water becoming higher and higher and the more pats of the walls began sprouting water.
"Time to go Danny!" Jack shouted.
Danny was about to fly over when he was suddenly jumped by Dan who blasted him in the back with an ecto blast and knocked him to the floor of the hand. He then picked Danny up and held his hands tightly behind his back.
"Nobody's going anywhere!" Dan exclaimed angrily. He then demanded, "Give the Hand of Pariah Dark to me Jack or your son dies!"
"Dan Phantom! Your battle is with me not him!" Jack shouted back.
"DAD DON'T! I CAN TAKE HIM ALONE! JUST TAKE THE HAND AND GO!" Danny shouted glaring at Dan.
"But you're not alone, not anymore" Jack whispered looking down at the hand. He then shouted, "You want the hand Dan? Take it!"
Jack threw the hand towards them, Dan shoved Danny to the side and reached out to grab it, and he grabbed it by the hand part and exclaimed in victory, "The Hand of Pariah Dark is mine! HA! HA! HA! And also the life of your brat!"
Jack however just crossed his arms and stared at Dan, Dan then turned around to see Danny staring at him with wide eyes.
"What are you staring at?!" Dan demanded.
Danny then cringed as he saw the hand begin to glow, Dan then looked down and saw his mistake that he grabbed the hand instead of the handle!
"NO! NO! NO! I AM DAN PHANTOM! NO!" Dan screamed as he dropped the hand and in just a matter of seconds and one final scream, he was turned into a golden statue!
Danny cringed once more and watched as the now statue of Dan fell off the hand and sunk to the bottom of the rising water, where he will forever remain on the Vanishing Isle.
