Season 2 Episode 6
Identity Crisis
"Multiple THRILLS!"
It was a quiet Friday afternoon at Amity Park. Dani Fenton and her best friends, Sam Manson and Tina Foley, were in the Fenton Works lab where Dani sat by the computer and began to scroll over her private ghost files that were about every ghost they have encountered in the past. Each of her personal file contained information, backgrounds, abilities and powers of the ghosts. Plus, the trio were hoping they have captured all of the ghosts in hopes that they could have at least a weekend off from fighting ghosts before they went back to school.
Dani brought up a file about Amber McLain, the mind-controlling rockstar ghost. "Amber?" Sam said out loud.
"Ghost Zone." Dani replied before she clicked on the Ghost Zone browser as the file got stored into the site.
A file of Skulka, the Ghost Zone's greatest huntress as she dubbed herself, popped up on the monitor. "Skulka?" Tina said.
Dani clicked on the Ghost Zone browser again and stored it into the site. "Ghost Zone…"
"Box Ghoul?" Sam said.
"Who cares?" Dani, Sam, and Tina simultaneously groaned together in annoyance while they rolled their eyes.
On cue, the Box Ghoul poked her head from the Fenton Ghost Portal, looking offended. "HEY! I have feelings, too, ya know!" She protested as she glared at the trio until the portal closed on her face.
Dani began to type on her computer, satisfied that she has finally caught every ghost and sent them back into the Ghost Zone. "All enemies captured and accounted for. Which means, as promised, the one hundred percent ghost-free weekend of fun starts now." She said just before she pressed a key on her board to upload the files. However, it failed when it told her that her hard drive was full. "'Hard drive full'? Uh, well, hang on, I'll just delete some old…"
Dani scrolled her mouse and clicked on her personal files browser, but she accidentally pulled up a digital picture of Paul Sanchez, her school crush, on screen. "Nice…" Sam said sarcastically as he crossed his arms and frowned at his friend, unimpressed.
"I am so downloading that!" Tina said excitedly when she pulled out her PDA. She aimed her trusty device as she connected it to Dani's computer and downloaded the picture of Paul Sanchez until it appeared on her screen.
Dani laughed nervously as she smiled sheepishly at Sam. "Uh, hehe, uh, how'd that get there? Oh, hey! Here's something I can delete: this old version of Doomed!" Tina glanced back at her friend's computer and her smile dropped when she saw Dani drag the Doomed browser over the trash can.
"Dani, wait! That's the video game where you trapped…" Tina tried to warn, but too late when her friend placed it into the remove icon.
The icon began to glow before, in a flash of light, Dani's old technopathic ghost foe, Techna, appeared on screen as she cackled loudly. Dani suddenly remembered that she once trapped Techna inside the Doomed game, where she placed her in Level Zero, the inescapable glitch in the program, after her defeat. Unfortunately, now that her old version of Doomed was deleted, Techna was free from her glitch prison.
"HAHA! I, Techna, am free at last!" She shouted in the computer as the trio stared at the monitor with wide eyes. She then bonked to the side of the computer as she tried to break free, and then slammed her face into the front, but failed again since she was still trapped inside. "Well free-ish...but even within the confines of this computer, I, Techna, shall rule once more!" The computer suddenly hovered off the desk and into midair. "But first…"
She clicked on the paint icon as the same digital photo of Paul appeared before she grabbed the brush with a chuckle. She then painted a black mustache and glasses on his face.
"Hey, you know how many digital collectables I had to trade for that?!" Dani said as she glared at the monitor.
Techna made the console of the computer spring out as Dani changed into her ghost form before it smacked her away, next to the Fenton Ghost Catcher (the dream-catcher device that separates ghosts from humans). Wires suddenly sprang out as they wrapped around Sam and Tina and bounded them together, which made Tina drop her PDA underneath Techna, still in its wireless download feature. Dani flew up to the computer with the Ghost Catcher in her hands as she swatted it across the computer monitor, forcing Techna out of the device.
The technopathic ghost growled and fired a beam at the webcam, making it fire a laser heading straight for Sam and Tina. "Too bad you can't expunge me and save your friends at the same time!" Techna said with a grin.
"Then I'll...just have to be in two places at once!" Dani exclaimed determinedly.
She concentrated on trying to duplicate herself, but ended up with two heads like the last time she tried before another small head popped on top. Dani's friends gasped before it then continued down as her body stretched into weird and funny positions since Dani still hasn't quite perfected duplication yet.
"Oh, for the love of pete, here!" Sam said with an annoyed look.
He jumped up as he avoided the laser as he unplugged the computer from the wall socket, shutting off the laser and making the computer drop to the ground. While the trio was distracted, Techna quickly phased into Tina's PDA as Sam and Tina untied themselves from the wires.
"Has the weekend of fun started yet?" Sam asked Dani as she changed her entire body back to normal.
Dani sighed as she landed on the ground and smiled in somewhat relief. "It's starting now." She replied.
"Indeed it is, but first…" Techna said from Tina's PDA before she did the same thing on Dani's computer and drew a mustache and glasses on the image of Paul before she laughed evilly, ready to begin her next scheme.
Theme Song:
(She's a phantom)
(Dani Phantom, Phantom, Phantom)
Young Dani Fenton, she was just fourteen
When her parents built a very strange machine
Designed to view a world unseen
(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)
When it didn't work, her folks, they just quit
Then Dani took a look inside of it
There was a great, big flash, and everything changed
Her molecules got all rearranged
(Phantom, Phantom)
When she first woke up, she realized she had snow white hair, and glowing green eyes
She could walk through walls, disappear, and fly
She was much more unique than the other gals
And it was then that she knew what she had to do
She had to stop all the ghost that were coming through
She's there to fight, for me and you!
(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)
(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)
(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)
The next day on Saturday that afternoon, Sam and Dani were both in front of Fenton Works while they impatiently waited for Tina to show up so they could head to the movies together. Dani sat on the steps while Sam checked his watch as it currently read four o' five, but Tina still hasn't even shown up yet.
Finally, the techno-geek arrived on her motor scooter, looking a little troubled. "Sorry I'm late, my PDA's acting wonky." Tina explained as she pulled out her PDA.
"Wonky?" Sam asked as he arched his eyebrows up in confusion.
"Maybe you should just junk this thing and get a new one." Dani suggested as she walked over to her. Techna's face appeared as she cackled before she shocked Dani a little, making her yelp and hug her stomach. "OW! It was just a suggestion!"
"Looks like we're gonna miss the movie." Tina said sadly as she tucked her PDA away.
"Unless we find some way to ignore all speed limits, red lights, and certain laws of physics." Sam said sarcastically as he crossed his arms.
Dani let his words sink in before she smiled with an idea, She knew just the person who could be so caught up on hunting a certain something, she would be bound to drive them to the movies in no time.
Dani managed to persuade her mom, Jackie Fenton, into drive them to the movies fast by telling her that there was a ghost in the theaters, but she was probably beginning to regret this idea. Most of the citizens scattered and ran out of the street as Jackie drove the Fenton RV like a madwoman. She steered with sharp turns and drove across the wrong and right lanes, disobeying the laws of traffic. Dani, Tina, and Sam were clenching onto their seats for dear life.
"Couldn't you have just flown us?" Tina asked Dani, thinking it was more safer if Dani could have just flew them across town to the theaters.
"The way my mom drives, this is faster." Dani replied with wide eyes.
"Are you kids sure there's a ghost in that movie theater?" Jackie asked as she continued to steer in sharp turns.
Dani tried to manage a smile. "Absolutely! And if not, you can pick us up in...two hours and six minutes."
"Previews." Sam reminded her, making her correct herself.
"Two hours and twenty-six minutes."
"Good thing I installed the Fenton On-Board Computer to plot our clearest route." Jackie said as she stared at the digital map in front of her.
Unknowingly to everyone, Techna then transferred herself out of Tina's PDA and into the map. She painted a mustache and glasses on a photo of Jackie to her husband, Matt and cackled evilly. The technopathic ghost then used her powers to connect herself to the RV when she took it over and strapped everyone onto their seats with multiple glowing seat belts, trapping all of them.
"Uh, Mom, is this some new safety feature?" Dani asked as she cocked an eyebrow and stared at the glowing seat belts.
"Safety feature? Why, safety features are for punks." Jackie said with a frown. The RV suddenly began to fly into the air as the Fenton's green logo changed into Techna's red emblem and everyone began to scream as the vehicle flew at top speed. "Hang on, kids! I'm deploying the Fenton Ejector!" Jackie tried to reach for the ejector button, just as the RV drove straight towards the electronics shop get in front of them.
Luckily, the ghost huntress managed to press the button as the four of them suddenly shot out of the RV and into the air with shouts, just before the assault vehicle crashed straight into the store. Dani, Sam, and Tina's parachutes deployed as they slowly descended back towards the ground.
"Next time, your dad's driving." Tina said to Dani with a frown.
They watched as Jackie plummet straight towards the ground while she shouted until she crash landed on the ground hard with a grunt. Her parachute then deployed and covered her up underneath, just her unfortunate luck.
Inside the electronics shop, something short-circuited inside when the customers all exited out of the store as they shouted and ran for their lives. Dani landed on the ground as the parachute covered her up, giving her an opportunity to transform without worrying about people looking at her. She immediately phased out of the chute and flew straight into the store, where she found that the RV has lunged itself into rows of small TV screens.
Dani watched as the TVs began to show green skulls before they merged into one, and then flashed into Techna's face as she laughed mechanically all around her.
She began to make all different types of electronics in the shop merge with the RV with her technopathic power. "Hmm, plasma screen, surround sound, I don't know what this thing does. Oh! These are on sale!" Techna said to herself.
TVs, computers, remotes, and all different types of electronics merged with the RV, until there was a bright flash that knocked Dani backwards as she slid across the store. She then looked up and gasped in shock when she saw that Techna has made herself a new robotic body. It was pretty much similar to her previous robot suit from the first time they met, but this time the Fenton RV was a part of her bottom half and her top half was much larger with three screen faces.
"Behold! The new Techna 2.0! Now in pop-up blocker!" She shouted into the heavens before she fired a beam at Dani, forcing her to float in front of her.
"Sounds like the same old Techna to me. What do ya say you shout out your plan, and we get this thing over with?" Dani suggested sarcastically.
"Techna 2.0 does not reveal her secrets!" She then smiled cleverly as she crossed her arms. "Go on, try me."
"Uh...coffee or espresso machines?"
"NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" Dani cringed from her sudden outburst until she made a casual smile. "See?"
Techna then grabbed Dani and threw her out of the building as she shouted before she crash landed into a garbage bin. The technopathic ghost then flew out of the building with her new body as she disappeared into the city, just as Dani peeked out of the garbage bin, now covered in trash as she glared up at the sky.
Dani then returned to Fenton Works as she cleaned herself up in her bedroom while Sam and Tina sat on her bed. Dani really hoped that she could have just one weekend to chill out and have fun with her friends, without having to fight ghosts, but now that Techna was at large once again, she would have to postpone their weekend plans.
"I promised you guys a ghost-free weekend of fun, and now I've gotta spend it tracking down Techna." Dani said as she removed a banana peel out of her shirt and dropped it into her trash bin. "I just wish there was someway I could do both." She then smiled when an idea clicked in her mind. "And maybe there is…" She transformed into her ghost form and phased through the floor. Sam and Tina glanced at each other while they both wondered what their friend was thinking about, until she phased back into her room with the Fenton Ghost Catcher in her hand. "The Fenton Ghost Catcher, expunges all things ghostly."
"Dani, wait. You don't need to do this, we don't mind spending the weekend fighting ghosts with you." Sam said as he stood up and gestured to himself and Tina, who smiled in agreement.
Dani then frowned as she crossed her arms. "Yeah, well I mind. My ghost-fighting life and my personal life are always interfering with each other."
"You have a personal life?" Tina asked in confusion.
"Well, I will now."
Dani flew in front of the Ghost Catcher as she prepared to fly straight through to separate herself, and it did exactly that. Her ghost and human halves separated when her ghost and human DNAs expunged from each other while she shouted. Then Dani Phantom and Dani Fenton both emerged from the device while the Fenton part of Dani fell onto the floor with a grunt.
The Dani Phantom half looked down at herself until she smiled brightly. "At last!" She said before she grabbed a white bed sheet from her bed and tied it around her neck and collar like a cape as she got into a heroic/dramatic model like pose. "I'm Dani Phantom, full-time superheroine!"
"Yeah, okay sure, whatever." The Dani Fenton half said as she stood up. Her bangs were covering one of her eyes while she smiled absentmindedly at her friends, like a lay-back teenager. "And I'm gonna par-tay as Dani Fenton, full-time-ah...haha-fun, dude."
Apparently, unlike the last time Dani went through the catcher by accident the first time, the Fenton Ghost Catcher seemed to have not just separate Dani's ghost and human halves, but also splitted her personality as well. Super Dani Phantom had her confident, heroic, serious, and well-meaning personality, while Fun Dani Fenton had her lay-back, fun, lazy, and friendly personality.
"...This has bad idea written all over it." Sam said after a moment of silence, not liking this idea one bit when he frowned with his signature knowing stare.
"I call the Fun Dani!" Tina said with excitement before she dragged Fun Dani out of the room with her.
Super Dani smiled at her reflection in the mirror while her hair fluttered and her bed-sheet cape bellowed in a breeze, even though there was no wind at all. She then turned to Sam, who was staring at her in silence. "Say, you wear an awful lot of black for a superhero sidekick. Have you considered switching to bright, primary colors?" Super Dani suggested dramatically to the goth boy.
"...Tina, wait up!" Sam said, not really wanting to be with Super Dani with that suggestion. He bolted out of the room, leaving Dani's ghost half to admire herself in the mirror again.
In the Marmal Movies in town, Fun Dani, Sam, and Tina were watching Twins II: The Revenge for their first night of fun. Fun Dani was leaning back on her chair with her feet hoisted on an empty chair in front of her, making herself more comfortable without a care in the world.
"Now this is more like it, dudes: no responsibilities, no ghost fights, no lame, super heroics…" Fun Dani said until she accidentally tilted her soda too much and spilled her drink all over the floor next to her.
"No manners." Sam said, not liking the human half of Dani's lay-back attitude.
"You gonna wipe that up?" Tina scolded.
A woman was about to walk past the trio, until she slipped over the soft drink Fun Dani spilled as she yelped and landed on her butt. She then glared accusingly at the trio. "I think that ma'am's butt has it covered." Fun Dani said lazily.
"Dani!" Sam and Tina said in unison.
"Lighten up, guys, it's a free country. Besides, what kind of girl with a wet butt's gonna do to us?"
"Not much...unless she's the manager." Sam said while he smiled at the woman nervously.
Fun Dani finally glanced up and saw that her name tag indicated that she was the manager, which made her smile drop while she slumped in disappointment. "Whoa, bummer."
The trio were then forced out of the movies when the manager took them outside. "And stay out!" She exclaimed before she slammed the door, locking them out.
"No problem, I'll just phase us through the door." Fun Dani grabbed Sam and Tina as she tried to get back into the movies, but she ended up slamming all of them to the door. She then realized that she didn't have her ghost powers anymore when she stared at her hand. "Whoa! I can't go ghost!"
"That's not right, we better go back to the lab and check this out." Sam said as he stood back up to his feet.
Fun Dani stood up, but smiled somewhat carelessly again. "Or...we could go bowling? Who's up for bowling?"
"I am! I call the Fun Dani!" Tina exclaimed as she grabbed hold of Fun Dani and ran off towards the bowling alley. Sam was about to say something to her, but then groaned in annoyance while he made a dull face.
In the skies of Amity Park, Super Dani flew across town as she enjoyed her night patrol while she searched for Techna.
"Now this is more like it: no distractions, no cover some secret identity, more time to expand my unique brand of ghostly justice." She said to herself as she hovered in mid air. She then heard screaming when she turned and found Techna absorbing some electricity from a power line as a crowd of people screamed at her in fear. "Leaping lightning rods! This looks like a job for, Dani Phantom!"
Super Dani charged at Techna, but then when she tried to contact with her, she bounced back when she activated her ghost shield. She managed to regain her air before she glared at her dangerously.
"You felonious fiend, your ghost shield prevents me from painfully pumpling you into a pulp!" She shouted in alliteration before she smiled cleverly with her hands on her hips. "Too bad for you, Dani Phantom is only half-ghost!" Rings appeared at her torso and intersected her, but when she was about to attack again, she glanced at her hand and realized that she was still a ghost. "Hey! I can't turn human!"
Techna suddenly blasted her several feet away with a gun on her shoulder. "Neither can I, but you don't hear me shouting it into the heavens. I don't do that anymore." She retorted mockingly.
While Fun Dani bowled with Sam and Tina, Techna threw a bus straight to a little boy, making Super Dani gasped while Fun Dani gasped that the ball was gonna hit the pins. Super Dani quickly flew to the boy and got him out of the way before it crashed into him, and he cheered for his heroine while Fun Dani, Sam, and Tina cheered for Dani's strike.
Later on, Fun Dani went back to Fenton Works for the night as she fell asleep and Super Dani continued to fight Techna when she flew into a store and grabbed some grappling hooks. She lassoed it to Techna, but ended up getting dragged along with her.
The next day, Fun Dani woke up and looked out the window, enjoy the new Sunday morning. Super Dani continued getting dragged by Techna, and it was on the news as Jackie and her husband, Matt, and their oldest son, James, watched the television in their kitchen.
"Galloping goblets! Dani would want to see this!" Jackie said.
"She's not here!" James said quickly as he stood in front of the TV, trying to cover for her, but he only got strange looks from his parents. He then shrugged nervously while he smiled. "I-I mean...she's probably still asleep."
"S'up?" Fun Dani greeted her family as she walked past James, who cocked an eyebrow in surprised confusion. Fun Dani now wore a red sweatshirt with a white oval on the chest, and her bangs were still covering one of her eyes.
"Dani!" Jackie said with a smile.
"Dani?!" James exclaimed with wide eyes in surprised confusion.
Jackie shoved her daughter in front of the TV. "Get a load of this!" They watched Super Dani getting punched by Techna's fist when she crashed into it.
"Ghosts? Who cares? Gonna go meet Sam and Tina at the pier." Fun Dani said lazily before she walked out of the kitchen.
James looked very baffled and confused that his little sister was both fighting a ghost in the news and was in his actual house. "But-but you...but she...but I…" He stuttered as he pointed at Fun Dani, to the news, and then to himself, until he finally shouted in overwhelming confusion. "ARGGGGH! That can't be Dani!" He held his hands on his head as he stared at where human Dani left.
"I'll say, no daughter of mine says 'Who cares about ghosts?'" Jackie said as she crossed her arms, not looking too pleased by her daughter's sudden lay-back attitude.
At the pier, the sky was bleak and dark like a night sky, but that didn't stop all of the kids from having fun in all of the rides, games, and just enjoying themselves at the carnival. Fun Dani, Sam, and Tina all rode on the roller coaster together as it made its way up a slope hill.
"This is the life. I wish I could stay on this ride, like, forever." Fun Dani chuckled when she was about to head rest, until the car suddenly stopped at the top, as did most of the other rides.
"And you may just get your wish." Sam said sarcastically.
They suddenly noticed a bright flash when they glanced down and saw Techna absorbing energy from a power grid, shocking Super Dani in the process. She then grabbed her and tossed her several feet away as she shrieked with her human half and friends watching in silence.
"Why couldn't you wish for supermodels?" Tina asked rhetorically to Fun Dani as she raised her arms up for emphasising.
"Did someone say 'super'?!" Super Dani asked dramatically as she stroke a pose with her cape billowing behind her.
"Oh, somebody kill me." Sam groaned in annoyance by these two halves of Dani's personality.
Super Dani flew back in front of Techna, whose robotic body exploded with volts of electricity. "HAHA! Tremble before the awesome power of Techna!" She shouted with a grin.
"Wait a minute...electric streetcar, power line, generator: you've been recharging yourself all night! Techna 2.0 is a wanage waging westral!" Super Dani shouted in alliteration. Techna only swapped her away as she regained her air beside the coaster car with a confident smile. "Relax, citizens, Dani Phantom is on the job!" And she charged back at Techna.
"Dani, aren't you gonna do something?" Sam asked Fun Dani, who was just leaning back and relaxing.
"What? She said 'relax'." She said lazily.
However, Jackie arrived by the coaster car in the Specter Speeder. "Hop on board, kid. Your mother's gonna show you how to catch a ghost." She said proudly before she grabbed Fun Dani by her wrist and dragged her into the vehicle. Jackie then turned to Tina and Sam. "Oh, and you kids will be safer down there." She pulled the coaster car down the hill as all of the passengers screamed for dear life.
While Super Dani charged for Techna, she was suddenly blocked by the Specter Speeder, which made her freeze her tracks as she gasped in surprise. A gun sprang from the roof of the hover vehicle while it began to charge with a hum.
"Uh...Mom, I-I don't know about this." Fun Dani said nervously as Jackie slowly tried to aim for the ghost girl, who was her daughter's own ghost half.
"Okay, now you're gonna wanna nail her right between the eyes." Jackie said as she lean close to her, ignoring her reluctance. The targeting system aimed directly at Super Dani, who was still frozen in concern. Jackie began to charge up the weapon on the roof while Fun Dani gaped worriedly at her ghost half. "Now waste her! Take the shot, kid, make your own mother proud."
Jackie placed Fun Dani's hand on the stick. She began to glance frantically at Super Dani and her mother until she, with very little choice, shoved against her mother. The Speeder tilted sideways as it fired the beam, narrowly missing Super Dani while she leaned away. She then gasped when she noticed her human half falling from the hover vehicle with a yelp and plummeted towards her doom as she shrieked. Super Dani quickly swooped down and caught her human half bridal style before she could even collided with the ground.
"Dueling doppelgängers, have you lost your half of our mind?!" Super Dani exclaimed to Fun Dani before they landed gently on the ground.
"Yo, I'm not the one wearing a bed sheet." Fun Dani retorted with a shrug.
Jackie suddenly blasted a beam at both of their feet, making them scatter from each other. "I'll save you, Dani!" Jackie shouted, but then made a look of realization that her daughter and the ghost girl have the same name (but didn't noticed the rhyme in their last names). "Wait, they're both named Dani, now that's gonna be confusing. I'll save ya, kid!"
Techna then came from behind Jackie and fired a couple of lasers at the back of her Specter Speeder. She sent it flying out of control as the ghost huntress screamed and crashed landed.
Both Fun and Super Dani came up to the Speeder and saw their mother was unconscious from impact. Techna drove up to them and noticed that Dani has separated her ghost and human halves for multitasking.
"Backup copies of yourself? Why didn't I think of that?" She asked herself before she drove away.
Fun and Super Dani both exchanged determined looks before they ran a few feet when Super Dani grabbed hold of Fun Dani by her under arms as they flew after the technopathic ghost. Just then, Sam and Tina arrived back on the ground from all the inactive loops of the roller coaster, and both of their hairs were wild.
"That was awesome! Let's go again!" Tina exclaimed as she hopped off the coaster car, earning a look from Sam who just narrowed his eyes.
"The rampaging robotic probe is heading for the power plant! We have to stop her before she consumes this city's energy supply!" Super Dani said to Fun Dani.
"We? That's your job. Uh, besides, I can't go ghost." Fun Dani pointed out.
"No, but you can get past the ghost shield, human."
Jackie managed to quickly recover from her crash landing when she came out of the damaged Specter Speeder on a small motorbike. "Hang on, Dani!" She exclaimed determinedly.
Once Super Dani got close enough to the back of Techna, she dropped Fun Dani onto the RV while she smiled. "Cool ride!" She said with a smile.
But her smile dropped when Super Dani flew behind her and glared at her. "FOCUS!" She ordered. Fun Dani did as she was told when she quickly crawled inside the RV while Super Dani flew in front of Techna and charged up her hands with energy. "You want fire power?! I'll show you fire power!" She fired her ecto beam at one of Techna's wheels, making her briefly lose her balance as she yelped.
Fun Dani toppled from the inside the RV a little. "Now let's see how else we can drain her batteries." She began to press all of the random buttons in the RV. The vehicle to let out some rock music, colored lights, and a sign appeared on the windshield that read 'Jackie rules!' with her face on it.
As hoped, the music and lights made Techna to lose enough power to force her into shutting down her ghost shield. "I'm powering down! But how?!" She exclaimed in confusion as she examined her arms.
"Bingo!" Super Dani said with a smile, knowing that her human half has done it.
She fired another ghost beam at one of the wheels, enough to make her drive out of control as she shouted in surprise. "Ahh! WhoOOO! YAHHHH!" Super Dani quickly phased into the RV as she grabbed Fun Dani out, just before Techna crashed into the edge of a the pier, over the water. "No–" Techna immediately powered off completely when her last power became empty.
The two Dani's then pushed Techna together off the ledge as her robotic body fell into the harbor. They both watched the technopathic ghost's robotic body sink underneath as the water surface bubbled.
"Ah, okay, when Mom asks me 'Who trashed the van?', I am so not covering for you." Fun Dani said to her ghost half.
She was about to walk away, but was stopped when her ghost half landed in front of her. "And that's the sort of irresponsible attitude that makes you such a disappointment to our family." Super Dani scolded with her hands on her hips as she stood up straight.
Fun Dani rolled her eyes with her arms crossed. "Uh, hello! Not our family, my family! You're the full-time heroine, remember?"
"Then perhaps it's time we fused back together!" Super Dani then phased into Fun Dani's body. However, instead of fusing back into one, she just ended up overshadowing her own human half.
Sam, Tina, and Jackie (who rode on her tiny cycle) all arrived as Dani glanced at her friends and mother. "Dani, are you okay?" Jackie asked her daughter.
"I've never felt better in my life!" She said dramatically with her hands on her hips. Her friends and mother stared at her strangely before they glanced at each other in confusion.
Later on, Jackie drove Dani and her friends back to Fenton Works for the night while the trio went up to Dani's bedroom, but she continued to act very strangely after she 'fused' herself back together.
"Curse this infernal messy room! This looks like a job for, the vacuum cleaner!" Dani said dramatically as pointed at her vacuum cleaner. She began to vacuum all over her floor, even riding on the cleaner, while her friends watched in confusion.
"Dani, something's up. You definitely have not been yourself since you've fused back together." Sam noticed.
"Of course I'm myself! I'm more than myself! I'm–" Fun Dani began to fight for control when she reached into herself. "Get...out of ME!"
She shoved Super Dani out of her body as she landed on the floor. "No! We must become one again!" She said dramatically.
"We didn't become one at all! You overshadowed me!" Fun Dani began to inspect herself through the mirror as she checked her eye and the inside of her mouth.
Super Dani allowed her human half's words to sink in. "You're right." She then turned to the Fenton Ghost Catcher that separated her in the first place in thought. "Something must've gone horribly rai when I used the Ghost Catcher to duplicate myself."
"You didn't duplicate yourself, you split yourself and your personalities in half!" Sam corrected as he stood from her bed with his arms up in the air.
"But, in theory, another trip through the Ghost Catcher should straighten out this mess…" Tina said as she got up and held onto the catcher device. She and Sam hovered it over both of the Dani's and placed it over them, hoping it would fuse their friend back together. However, as soon as they removed the Ghost Catcher off of Dani, they stared at her with surprised faces. "...or, it can make it ten times worse."
There were still two Dani's, both in human form in their original attires and hairstyles, but the only difference was their eyes: Fun Dani had her regular blue eyes, while Super Dani had green eyes.
Just then, James walked into her room. "Dani, Mom wants you to–AHH!" He began, but then noticed the two Dani's standing in her room, which made him yelp in surprise before he ran out of her room.
"Dani, what's going on in there?!" Jackie called from downstairs, making both of the Dani's eyes go wide.
"Quick, hide!" Tina exclaimed as she shoved both of the Dani's into the closet while they both grunted in unison.
"No, just one of you!" Sam said as he panicked a little as well.
"I call the Fun Dani!"
"I got o–" Sam was about to pick a Dani, but too late when Tina quickly pulled out Fun Dani from the closet. "Darn it!"
"Hey..." Jackie said. Sam quickly slammed the door shut with Super Dani and Tina inside as he and Fun Dani pinned their backs to the door. The obese huntress came into her room with and found the Ghost Catcher laying in her room. "What's the Ghost Catcher doing in your room? You march that back down to the lab right now, young lady."
While Fun Dani carried the Ghost Catcher out of her room and down the stairs, Jackie entered James' room to talk to him. Matt then walked out of his son's room and into Dani's, just when Super Dani walked out of the closet. "I swear I don't know what's come over James. Dani, please be a dear heart and show him you're alright?" Matt said.
"I'm more than alright! I'm Dani Fenton!" Super Dani exclaimed dramatically as she stroke a pose with her hands on her hips. Matt looked happy at first, but then made a look of perplexity by her sudden attitude. He glanced at her friends, who merely glanced at each other in silence.
While Super Dani walked out of her room and into James', Tina noticed that Fun Dani was still walking down the stairs with the Ghost Catcher. The techno-geek acted quickly when she shoved her red beanie onto Matt's face before he turned around. "Hey, does this smell funny to you?" She acted out as Matt yelped in surprise.
Inside James' room, he looked very overwhelmed with confusion while Jackie sat near him in concern. Super Dani marched into the room and placed her hands on her hips while she smiled heroically, but Jackie frowned in confusion.
"I thought I told you to take that Ghost Catcher down to the lab." Jackie said solemnly to her daughter.
"Fear not, pudgy patriarch!" Super Dani said dramatically as she crossed her arms, which made the huntress glance down at herself in confusion.
Back in the hallway, Matt shoved Tina's beanie off his face. "Tina, I don't have time for this...and you really need to do something about that problem dandruff." Matt said with a hint of disgust, until he noticed Fun Dani midway down the stairs. "Dani, the Ghost Catcher can wait, you need to talk to your brother."
Fun Dani groaned in annoyance before she placed the device down and began to walk up the stairs again. The goth and the techno-geek noticed that Super Dani was walking out of James's room with Jackie behind her.
"DANI, HIDE!" Sam and Tina exclaimed in unison.
Super Dani immediately froze and zipped behind her mother with a yelp while Fun Dani quickly leaped over the staircase, before the parents could even figured out that there were two Dani's at one place. Jackie scratched her head in confusion while Matt glanced at his daughter's best friends with his arms crossed.
"Uh, ready or not...here we come?" Tina said nervously as she covered her eyes and then looked up at Matt.
The doorbell suddenly rang, catching the parents' attentions. "I'll get it!" They announced in unison as they ran down the stairs.
They answered the door, revealing a policewoman standing in front of them. "This your vehicle, sir?" She asked Matt as she gestured to Techna's inactive, wet robotic body that was still attached to the Fenton RV, which was towed back to Fenton Works.
Matt narrowed his eyes at Jackie suspiciously, who shrugged her shoulders sheepishly. "Hey! It's...back from the shop!" She lied nervously, but she knew that she was in hot water with her husband now.
In the lab, both of the Dani's, Tina, and Sam were all standing beside the Fenton Ghost Catcher, trying to figure out how to make it fuse Dani back together again. They apparently couldn't seem to figure out clearly since they had to continue pretending that there was one Dani to her family.
"Okay, uh, from now on you hide and I will be Dani." Fun Dani said to her other counterpart.
"I think not! You were Dani all day and did a pretty poor job of it." Super Dani said boldly as she crossed her arms.
Just then, Matt and Jackie walked into the lab while Jackie carried a metal box in her hands. "Good news kids." Matt said while Sam and Tina both quickly covered up Fun Dani from the adult's views. "We uncovered the RV's Black Box Data Recorder."
"This baby will show us exactly how that ghost took control, just as soon as I download all its memory into the Fenton Mainframe." Jackie said before she walked to a counter with the Black Box.
"MOM, NO!" Both of the Dani's warned their mother.
It was too late when Jackie plugged the box into the mainframe of the lab, just as it began to spark with electricity while Techna's robotic face appeared on screen. She laughed mechanically when she began to take control of the entire house while the whole building trembled madly. Outside, her robotic form began to levitate into the air before it attached itself into the roof antenna of the house and cables shot from the roof as they plugged themselves onto Techna's new robot body.
Her faces turned on with grins when she was once again transferred and back online. "Excellent! My upgrade is complete! With the technology in this house, I will drain all the power from the city, and then THE WORLD!" Techna shouted into the heavens. She then realized that she has just ironically shouted out her entire plan, like she said she didn't do anymore earlier. "Nobody heard that, right?"
Back inside the lab, Techna's energy spreaded across the lab when multiple cables came to life and sprung out as they wrapped Jackie, Matt, Tina, and Sam in an egg-shaped cocoon of wires.
"Going ghost!" Both of the Dani's shouted before they changed into their ghost forms, much to their surprise. "Whoa! I can still do that?"
"I'll save everyone! You deal with the house hijacking horror!" Super Dani told her other counterpart.
Fun Dani flew towards the ceiling and tried to phase through, but she ended up slamming her head with a shout. "OW!" She rubbed her head and realized that she didn't have all of her powers, since she didn't have intangibility. "Would it be too much to ask for all of my powers back?" She asked herself rhetorically before she flew through the stairs instead.
Super Dani got into a fighting stance as she charged up her hands to fire at a robot approaching her. "Eat ghost ray, you evil electrical extension!" However, as the robot moved closer, her energy suddenly fizzled out. She stared down at her hands and realized that she lost her ability to fire a ghost ray. "Fizzling Phantoms! Are my powers diminished as well?!" She quickly leaped over the robot and used her power of intangibility on the wire cocoon that phased everyone out as they grunted. "At least that one still works."
Back outside, Techna grabbed a couple of wires from the roof as she began absorbing their power, but then they got blasted off her hands by Fun Dani's ghost beams. She hovered in front of the technopathic ghost and glared at her angrily.
"That's for totally ruining my weekend of fun, dude!" Fun Dani exclaimed.
"Oh, I'll ruin more than that, whelp!" Techna retorted as she raised her hands out and made a few weapons spring out.
They electrocuted her and sent her plummeting down to the road while she screamed, just as Jackie, Matt, Sam, Tina, and Super Dani ran out of Fenton Works. The parents then realized that there were a couple people missing. "Wait, where's Dani?" Matt asked urgently until Fun Dani crashed to the road in front of them, catching their attentions.
While they were distracted, Super Dani quickly changed back into her human form. "I'm right here, father!" She said dramatically as she placed her hands on her hips.
"Wait a minute, weren't you just…" Jackie began to ask in confusion.
James looked out from his bedroom window while he waved his arms in the air. "Mom! Dad! Dani! Other Dani!" He shouted fearfully from his window.
"James!" Matt and Jackie exclaimed before they immediately ran back into the house to help their son.
Back on the roof, Techna finished absorbing the energy from the cables when she dropped them while her hands smoked. "Mmm, that was tasty. Now let's see what I can do with all that power!" She said to herself.
She fired beams to the road, just as four giant cables burst out of the concrete and slammed back onto the road, enough to make the others topple onto the ground. The cables attached themselves to Fenton Works and lifted the entire building off its place before it began to walk straight into the town of Amity Park.
"We have to stop Techna before she takes over the whole city!" Super Dani said as she got back to her feet and changed back into her ghost form.
"Well, good luck, girl." Fun Dani said lazily to her other half.
"I only have half our powers! We must do it together! It's your duty!"
Fun Dani snickered. "She said doody."
Super Dani grabbed Fun Dani by her shoulders and held her close. "We have to stop her!"
Fun Dani gently pushed her away. "Try it, didn't work. Back to bowling."
"It'll be fun." Tina said.
"You'll get to hit stuff." Sam added.
That made Fun Dani smile dully again, but agree to help anyway. "Sweet." She chuckled.
"You go inside and get the Ghost Catcher, I'll keep Techna busy." Super Dani told the others.
She tried to fly after the house, but dropped to the street as everyone stared down at her oddly. Everyone guessed that meant it only left Super Dani with her power of intangibility and invisibility while Fun Dani had her flight and ghost beam abilities.
Fun Dani bent down a little. "Uh...how about we all go inside?" Super Dani only rubbed her head while she stared at her other half in silence.
Meanwhile, Techna roamed around the city, pulling power lines and absorbing every electrical energy she could find while most of the buildings blacked out. Fun Dani flew Super Dani, Sam, and Tina straight towards the moving house when Super Dani turned them all intangible before they phased back into Fenton Works.
"No one can stop me now!" Techna shouted into the heavens again.
"No one, maybe…" Super Dani said when she phased out to the roof.
"But how about two?" Fun Dani finished as she flew from the hatch door, both of them ready to battle against the technopathic ghost.
Techna glared at them while she aimed some of the roof's weapons at the Dani's, but Fun Dani quickly blasted all of guns with her ghost beams and destroyed them. "Two or two thousand, you still can't get past my ghost shield!" Techna exclaimed.
She fired a beam at the top of the antenna and activated the ghost shield when it engulfed the entire house as it continued to stomp down the neighborhood. Fun Dani cocked a skeptic eyebrow while she pointed at the shield. "Uh, dude, that only works if we're outside the ghost shield."
The ghost merely smiled. "No matter! My upgrade is extremely adaptable!"
Techna then raised two giant metal cables when Super Dani phased through the first and Fun Dani flew out of the way from the second one. She charged at her, until she managed to grab her while she strained to break free.
"I'll save you!" Super Dani shouted and tried to fly off the ground, but forgot she didn't have the power of flight anymore when she dropped back onto the roof with a grunt.
Techna then fired a beam at Super Dani as she brought her up to her. One of her screen faces popped out and moved close to her face with a grin. "If you wish to split your focus, you must first learn to multitask." She said to the Dani's
Sam and Tina then ran out into the roof with the Ghost Catcher in their hands as they charged straight at the screen. "Multitask this!" Tina retorted.
Techna's eyes went wide. "What? NOOOOOO!"
They waved the catcher-like device across the face screen before they dropped it to the ground when it expunged Techna out of her robot body. The house froze in place before the ghost shield deactivated and then the entire house slammed back onto the road. The metal cables retracted as Super and Fun Dani were released and stared in awe as Techna materialized in front of them, with a new body.
She was now a taller and a more well-fit version of herself with legs instead of a ghostly tail. She still had her green skin and white hair, but her hair was now combed back into a ponytail and her teeth were straight. She now wore a long black coat with three green buttons and pockets, a gray skirt, a black belt with a rectangular belt buckle, and a light blue-gray cape that covered her shoulders and was held closed at the neck. She also wore black boots and green gloves.
"And it's time my ghostly form had an upgrade as well! You cannot defeat me!" She exclaimed before she began to fly away to escape.
"Oh, yes we can!" Both of the Dani's exclaimed as they grabbed Techna by her spectral tail. "Together!"
They both pulled him backwards together while Tina and Sam raised up the Ghost Catcher. The two Dani's flew right through, and this time, into just one Dani Phantom as she landed on the roof.
Dani looked disoriented before she looked down at herself and realized that she had all of her personalities and her powers back. "We did it! No...I did it!" She said to herself as she smiled until she glared and stood back up, in front of Techna. "Alright, Techna, it's just you and me now. Me, the one and only Dani Phantom!"
"Techna 2.0 will escape to find another…" She began to shout her plan again when she was about to fly away, until Dani quickly grabbed her tail again.
"Shouting out your plans again?" Dani rolled her eyes, unimpressed by this. "That is so 1.0."
Tina finally tossed her the Fenton Thermos while she smirked and flicked the cap off with her thumb. She then began to suck Techna into the device. "I'll be back, child! COUNT ON IT!" And with that vow, she got completely sucked in before Dani recapped the thermos.
"Way to pull yourself together, Dani!" Sam said with a smile, grateful that his friend was back into the one Dani he always knew.
"How'd that last pass through the Ghost Catcher do that anyway?" Tina wondered as she turned to the device and examined it more closely. "'Side two: merge, side one: separate'." She made a dubious look like that should have been obvious before. "Duh."
"Too bad I couldn't pull together that fun weekend I promised you guys." Dani said to her friends as she transformed back into her human form.
Tina smiled like her friend was just joking around. "Are you kidding? This was a fun weekend!" Tina and Sam both walked up to the ledge.
Dani smiled hopefully. "Really?"
The trio leaned against the ledge fence as they gazed out at the sunset in the distance as their weekend almost came to an end. "We're your friends, Dani. Kicking back or kicking butt." Sam said to Dani.
Jackie, Matt, and James all walked from the entrance to the roof, and James saw that there really was only one Dani after all. "One Dani? Then I'm not nuts! I'M NOT NUTS!" He exclaimed happily as he pumped his fists into the air in triumph before he ran up to his one and only sister.
"Oh, isn't that sweet? That's exactly how you reacted when I proposed to you." Matt said to his wife as he smiled with his hands on his waist.
"And I still said 'yes', who's nuts now, huh?" Jackie said before she and her husband walked up to their daughter and her friends. "Good to see you in one piece, kid."
"Tell me about it." The trio said in unison, sounding relieved and smiled at the little irony.
"Now to work on putting the house back."
"Um, Mom, can't we wait until after the rest of this weekend?" Dani asked her mother.
Pretty soon, the entire Fenton family, Sam, and Tina were gazing from the roof as they stared at the sun set in front of them, and that Fenton Works was placed at the center of a beach. The trio knew it really has been a fun weekend for Dani after all, and like how Sam said her both of her lives were and are always going to be like, while kicking back as Dani Fenton and kicking butt as Dani Phantom.
