Season 3 Episode 12
Phantom Planet: Part 1

Theme Song:

(She's a phantom)

(Dani Phantom, Phantom, Phantom)

Yo, 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)


In the vast void of outer space, hundreds and thousands of miles away from Earth, in the rings of Saturn was a privately owned satellite, which was owned and created by Vladia Masters, one of the richest women on Earth, but in reality was the most villainous to ever live as she was really Vladia Plasmius, the evil half-ghost on both ends of the ghost portal, who used her powers to grant herself power and even tried to destroy her old friend, Jackie Fenton, for 'ruining' her life, and even became archenemy's with another half-ghost, who was a teen who used her powers for good, Dani Phantom (who was really Jackie Fenton's daughter). Right next to her own satellite, was a humongous green asteroid with a skull-shaped face and glowed with some kind of unnatural element unknown to humankind. A probe of the satellite took a few rocks from the asteroid for a few samples before hovered into the satellite as it placed a container into a slot and the rock floated in a small scanning room as its results came up on the monitors.

"Analysis conclusive." A hologram Matt Fenton said to it's copy. "Asteroid composed entirely of unique anti-ghost element: Ectoranium. It's negative effects of which can only be felt by ghosts."

"It will be most effective in making anti-ghost weapons and ease Masters's takeover of the Ghost Zone." The other Matt said as he gestured to the portrait of Vladia Masters.

"And I shall be the one to tell her the good news."

The second Matt hologram frowned as he placed his hands on his hips. "No, I shall."

They went face to face aggressively. "I shall!"

"Your resolution is much too low and your band-width is far too thin."

The first hologram gasped in shock and then glared angrily at his copy. "Why you holographic-" They began to tackle each other.

Meanwhile, outside the satellite, a natural portal opened as Vladia Plasmius herself flew out in her spacesuit and helmet with a bright smile on her face. "What a glorious morning, defeating Blizzard and pilfering the all-powerful Infimap." She said as she unrolled the map as projections of the purple doors spring out, making her smile even more with anticipation after she had recovered the map she previously lost several months ago. "If this keeps up, I should be ruling the galaxy by lunch."

Unfortunately, one of her antennae on his helmet got blasted off. She glared at the portal as her archenemy, Dani Phantom, flying through the portal in the Specter Speeder with her best friends, Sam Manson and Tina Foley, all of them glaring angrily at the evil half-ghost villainess who stole the Infimap from their ghost friend once again for her own evil deeds.

"Kitchen's closed, Plasmius!" Dani exclaimed angrily through the bullhorn. "Give us back the map!" Tina pressed some buttons on the tiller and fired some more beams from the guns of the Speeder as she blasted Vladia dead on, making her yelp. Dani placed a space helmet over her head and pulled a lever to close the door to the cockpit and prepared to fly into space and face off against Vladia to recover the map from her. "Let's rock!"

"Three, two, one, PUNCH IT!" Sam said before he slammed his fist on the button.

The doors opened before Dani flew into space and towards Vladia as she fired ecto blasts at her, each she avoided them and blasted at the asteroids instead. "I know you're a lost woman, Vladia, but no map is gonna help you find your way! You need therapy for that!"

Dani fired her own ghost blast at Vladia as she angrily threw up a ghost shield in front of her and deflected her attack, but it exploded on a nearby asteroid next to her, sending her flying and flipping in the air. Dani then formed a giant snowball with her ice power and threw it over her head and at her archenemy. Before she could react, Vladia gasped gasped until she became frozen solid when it instantly hit her. Dani took this opportunity to phase her hand through the ice and retrieved the Infimap as she smiled at Vladia.

"Seriously, girl…" Dani said before Tina drove the Speeder up through her as she phased into it before poking her head out again. "Therapy."

Tina then drove the vehicle away to head back into the Ghost Zone, leaving Vladia in the ice trap. Vladia gathered her energy and broke free from her icy prison as she shouted before she flew after the meddling teens as they flew back into portal. She tried to fire her ecto beams at them, but she only ended up on her satellite as her last blasted at her fuel tanks, setting it on fire.

"The fusion reactor! If the flames reach it, it'll explode!" Vladia exclaimed before she phased into her satellite and into her own speeder and prepared for lift off, and she had a very ticked off and provoked face. "Taking my map, destroying my satellite, mocking my mental health, it's time I finally finish off Dani Phantom...ONCE AND FOR ALL!"

Vladia then flew her speeder out of the satellite and through the portal right before it exploded. Unfortunately, Vladia's satellite exploded with such great force, it made the green asteroid it was studying fly straight out of the rings of saturn as it hurled straight across the solar system, and it was on it's way to make a one-course collision with Earth!


Later on that day on Earth at Amity Park, Dani, Sam, and Tina all returned home after they have successfully retrieved the Infimap from Vladia and planned on returning it to their friend, Blizzard. "Ah, home sweet home." Sam sighed as they headed to school, and looked relaxed that day. "Nothing like good ol' solid terra phoma."

"I thought you liked being in space, Sam. All that infinite darkness everywhere?" Dani said to him.

"Yeah, well, I like my darkness with a little more oxygen and a lot less asteroids."

"Still, it's cool we were able to help out Blizzard. I bet she'll be glad to get her map back." Tina said as she held up the Infimap as it glowed.

"Yeah, we'll return it to her as soon as we can, but right now though I'm with Sam." Dani said as they continued down the sidewalk without a care in the world. "It's good to be back to where things are normal."

"Attention, Amity Park!" Jackie Fenton's voice bellowed, causing the three teens to freeze their tracks in surprise. They looked ahead and saw the Fenton RV being driven madly by Jackie and on the passenger seat was her husband, Matt. "The Fentons are on patrol! Restassured, the streets are safe!" The RV then accidentally bumped over a rock, causing the vehicle to go out of control until it crashed into a fire hydrant as water spewed like a geyser, much to the Fentons' concerns. "Uh...city water supply A-okay!"

Dani made a flat look of annoyance and embarrassment at her parent's big screw up. "Yep. Normal." Tina said as she stared at her friend's parents.

Dani's ghost sense suddenly went off, and they turned around to find an explosion at the electronics shop, where Techna was stealing some goodies. "Hahaha! Nothing like a lazy day of shopping, lattes, and terrorizing the minimum-waged workers!" Techna said as an employee shivered in fear. "Boo." The worker ran away as he screamed.

"I'm going ghost!" Dani cried as she ran between buildings and changed into her ghost form before flying into action.

Techna took more PDAs as she stuffed them into her shopping bag. "Well, look on the bright side, at least I'm not downloading them illegally."

Dani appeared and punched Techna away from the worker as she glared. "Next register, cyber-brat!"

The technopathic ghost is sent flying out of the store and into a car as most of her electronics broke. She narrowed her eyes and blasted her energy at a car, making it stand upright as she made her electronic goodies attach to it and in a flash it transformed into a robotic car as Dani hovered from the hole in the shop. "Behold, ghost twerp! The perfect combination of technology, past and present: The Car-puter! It will drive you...to your doom!" Techna laughed like a madwoman.

Dani charged at the robotic car, but it suddenly shot out its engine at her, hitting her dead on as it retracted it. Dani crashed to a building and collapsed on the ground while she rubbed her head. "Great, my first car accident and I'm not even driving yet." The Car-puter then drove on its wheel feet away, creating smoke in the process. "Hey!" She coughed from the smoke, but then noticed it was heading straight for her friends. "Tina! Sam!"

Tina and Sam both shouted and braced themselves, but then the Car-puter suddenly stopped "HUH?!" Dani and Techna said in unison, both looking confused at who would stop that thing.

They then noticed three adolescent teens with red and black jumpsuits and special kinds of ecto-guns as the bigger guy had restrained the robotic car with a grapple gun. "Yo, I got it, Vid!" The larger guy said to one of his teammates.

"Awesome, Thrash!" The girl with red hair, Vid, said before she turned her attention to the guy with a flipped hat. "Take it, Download!"

Download threw out his wrist as energy fired from it and it hitted the Car-puter and sucked the robot inside, much like the Fenton Thermos, only looking much more advanced than Dani's. "Downloaded, sheyeah." He said as he held out his ghost.

"Uh, who are those guys?" Sam asked Tina in confusion.

"I don't know, but those are the coolest jumpsuits I've ever seen!" She said, admiring the looks of their jumpsuits, until she noticed Dani floating beside her as she scowled at her offendedly with her arms crossed. "Uh, except yours of course. Black is very slimming."

"Adolescents, how dare you?!" Techna exclaimed to the mysterious teen ghost fighters. Vid fired three electric disks at her from her wrists. "And another thing, the high-tech look is my bit!" The disk sliced into her body and electrocuted her, making her shout before she dropped to her knees and then Download sucked her inside his wrist.

"Ghost gal gone, the very is safe; have a righteous day." Download said to no one in particular.

"Masters Blasters stop disasters!" The three teens shouted out loud before going in dramatic poses as the citizens cheered for them.

Vid then pressed on her wrist and showed a holographic video projection of Vladia Masters herself. "Greetings, citizens. I've hoped you've enjoyed this little presentation of Amity Park's newest teen-ghost fighting team: Masters Blasters." She announced to everyone.

"Masters Blasters?" Dani and Sam both asked in confusion.

"As mayor, I provided funding for this top-notch troop, equipped with the latest teen technology, they're going to stop ghosts and succeed where Dani Phantom has so obviously failed." As she spoke, her wicked smile grew.

"'Teen ghost fighters'?" Sam asked with wide eyes.

"'Teen technology'?" Tina asked, equally as surprised.

"'Where Dani Phantom has so obviously failed'?" Dani said as she frowned.

"My plan is very simple: out with old and in with the new!" Vladia continued before she smirked evilly at Dani. "And the old should give up now if she knows what's good for her." Dani glared angrily back at her archenemy before Vid powered off the projection and she and her teammates ran to their ghost-hunting van and drove off down the street.

Dani crossed her arms with a suspicious look on her face. "If Vladia's funding them, then they're definitely up to something."

Sam began thinking deeply until he smiled with an idea. "They can't fight ghosts if there are no ghosts to fight, right?" He asked his friends.

"Uh...right?" Dani and Tina said with uncertainty.

"So you just fight ghosts like crazy!"

"Yeah! Remind everyone in this town that there's no better ghost fighter than Dani Phantom!" Tina said confidently to her ghost fighting friend.

Dani smiled brightly in agreement. "You're right. It's time to show them who's the boss around here. Buckle in, guys, Operation Dani Phantom Rocks is about to begin!" She said as she made a confident look.


The next day, Dani faced off against Undergrowth as she spreaded her vines all over Amity Park again in another attempt to take over the world. Dani charged right at her, but she threw dozens of large sized thorns, making her gasp and braced herself as the thorns passed by her. She got ready to fight again, but then her jumpsuit fell apart, leaving Dani in her bra and undies. She gasped and blushed in embarrassment as she tried to cover herself and fell from the sky. The Masters Blasters team then arrived and started cutting through Undergrowth's vines with a giant saw on their vehicle. They began circling around the plant ghost and sliced her down before Download captured her in his containment device.

Over the past few days, to Dorothea (who blew fire at the ghost girl) to Vortex (who struck the ghost girl with lightning), it has been pretty much the same. Dani would try to fight, only to end up having her uniform shredded to pieces, leaving her in humiliation in her bra and her undies while the Master Blasters defeated each foe and captured them with their high-tech gears. Now, the whole town began to praise the Master Blasters for their heroics and left the town to think that Dani Phantom was just a nuisance and a meddling ghost teen.

One day, the town held up a parade in honor of Vladia Masters and the Masters Blasters. People cheered and threw confetti and balloons everywhere as their new heroes hovered down the street with Vladia in some sort of hover vehicle. The Masters Blasters began tossing their brand new action figures to the crowd while Vladia continued to grin as her plan was working.

On one side of the street of the parade, Dani, Tina, and Sam were all sitting on someone's steps. Dani looked down after her failed attempts to get noticed by the citizens while Sam gave her a sympathetic look and Tina read off a newspaper about her friend's recent embarrassments.

"Hmmm, three news photos of you in your underwear, nine more and you could have your own calendar." Tina said jokingly to Dani.

Dani made an annoyed look at her best friend. "This is serious, Tina!" She snapped. "As far as this town's concerned, Vladia's goons have totally replaced Dani Phantom!"

"Did you say Dani Phantom?" A man asked as he turned around and heard the trio's conversation. "She's wonderful!"

"She's my hero!" His daughter said as she held up a Dani Phantom action figure and hugged it.

Dani perked up with hope when she said that, until the Masters Blasters tossed the man an action figure of their own. "But she's yesterday's news. Masters Blasters gave us cool stuff!"

The man gave his daughter the doll as she dropped the Dani Phantom doll like it was nothing and held up her new toy. "Masters Blasters stop disasters!"

They both then walked away to catch up to the parade. Dani looked down sadly as she picked up the now soaking wet Dani Phantom doll the girl had just abandoned for the Masters Blasters. She felt like ever since Vladia began her own ghost fighting team, the citizens began turning to them for help more then to her, like the invisible girl she once was, and now everyone didn't seem to want her anymore. Her heart began breaking as a tear leaked from her eyes and clutched the doll to her heart.

"Cheer up, Dani." Sam said to her in comfort. "All you have to do is make people see the heroine we know you truly are."

You can do it and maybe try a cool slogan. Dani Phantom stops…" Tina said, but then faltered as her smile dropped. "Uh...nothing rhymes with Phantom."

The trio then heard screaming and then Dani ran into a alleyway and changed into her ghost form. She took to the air and saw a green ghost flying down the street. She smiled, seeing her opportunity to show the town what a great heroine she can be.

"Check this out, everyone! There's not a ghost anywhere that can stand up to Dani Phantom, the original teen ghost fighter!" She announced before turning around and fired an ecto beam at the ghost.

But the blast went right through it and made a hole and then saw air coming out, and she realized she just attacked a giant parade balloon of a ghost. Dani saw the balloon about to fall right on top of Sam and Tina as they both screamed and braced themselves. Dani was about to go save them when the Masters Blasters flew down on jetpacks and caught the balloon before it could crush them. The crowd roared in anger at their former ghost heroine for almost ruining the entire parade.

Vladia grinned casually as she flew up on her hover vehicle. "Yes, as you can see, Amity Park is in much cooler, safer hands, thanks to Masters Blasters." She announced, making the crowd cheer for her again and her own ghost fighting team.

Vladia then grinned evilly at Dani, who in return, glared angrily at her for making her look bad again.


The next day, Jackie and Matt Fenton were both in the lab after they have shutted down their Fenton Ghost Portal and began working on it with a now-gloomy Dani, Tina, Sam, and James watching them.

"I always knew that Phantom kid was a menace. Not only did she nearly kill Sam and Tina, but she destroyed a perfectly good parade balloon, and that's just plain un-American." Jackie said as she put on her welding goggles and used her blow torch on the portal.

"But Mom, it was just an accident. I, for one, am glad there's someone out there protecting us." James said as he smiled at Dani and winked, but she only continued to look down in shame.

"Me, too, and they're called Masters Blasters! Vladia's team has style, guts, acne, and they're human. Plus, they gave me this cool poster." Jackie gestured to the Masters Blasters poster hanging on the wall, signed by the team themselves. "'To the old woman in the orange suit, stop bothering us!'"

"Why are your folks messing with the Fenton Portal?" Tina asked James.

"Mom's breaking it down to stage one so she can update the software. She says this way she'll be able to catch ghosts and download songs faster." James answered with his arms crossed.

Tina smiled a little. "Isn't science awesome?"

"It kind of looks the same way it did when you first got your ghost powers, Dani." Sam said as he smiled about the accident about a year in a half ago the day Dani first became half-ghost from the ghost portal accident.

Dani, however, looked more annoyed as she frowned at her gothic friend. "Can we stop talking about my powers, please?" She snapped, making Sam's smile drop. "They're causing me nothing but problems lately. "I'm starting to think that maybe we'd be better off without 'em." Sam's arched his eyebrows high when he heard her mutter those words.

Jackie halted her works and stretched her arms and back while she yawned. "Alright, Matt, that's enough for today. I'll let you rub my feet and remember...I have bunions." She said and walked away from the portal.

Matt followed his wife as he laughed nervously and made a look of disgust. "Thank goodness I'm wearing gloves." He said under his breath.

After her parents left the lab, Dani walked in front of the inactive portal and stared at it in thought. "This thing gave me my powers..." She said quietly to herself and began to think about another thought in her mind. "I wonder if it could-"

"Dani, what are you thinking?" James asked like he was reading her mind, knowing what she was thinking about.

Dani frowned back at her friends and brother. "Name one good reason why I should keep my powers."

"You're the target of hundreds of evil ghosts!" Tina said as she tried to finding a slogan, until Sam glared at her. "Oh, wait, that's a bad one. I'll go back to rhyming Phantom."

"Dani, think of all the good you've done, in our doing!" Sam tried to reason to his best friend. "If you took your powers away now-"

They heard the doorbell ring from upstairs. Jackie and Matt answered the door and it was the Masters Blasters, much to Jackie's delight as she smiled brightly. "Hey, Masters Blasters! Remember me?" Jackie said to them respectfully. "The old orange gal? I-" She got cut short when the teen ghost fighters suddenly pinned her and her husband to the wall with a net and it electrocuted them a little as they shouted.

"Jackie and Matthew Fenton, our readings indicate an ectoplasmic entity in the premises." Vid informed them.

"By order of the mayor, you're both under arrest for harboring a ghost." Download added as he pointed at them accusingly.

Dani, Sam, Tina, and James saw the whole thing as they hid from the entrance before hiding behind when they saw that Dani was narrowing her eyes like it was the final straw in her holder.

"That's the last straw. I'm going ghost!" Dani said as she ran back to the lab and changed to her ghost form while flying towards the control panel and began pressing buttons. "I can't catch ghosts anymore, almost hurt my friends, and now my parents are arrested because of me?"

When she finished, the portal began powering up. Dani looked inside it with determination before walking inside just as her friends and brother arrived to stop her.

"Dani, stop!" James said urgently. "This isn't the way!"

"You're a heroine! We can talk about this." Sam tried to reason calmly yet urgently.

"Don't do it, girl! We'll find something that rhymes with Phantom!" Tina exclaimed with her arms spread wide.

But Dani listened to their pleads and as much as she didn't want to hurt them, she almost did hurt them she and couldn't even save them in time and she didn't want it happening again. She looked down and closed her eyes as she shedded a tear, showing them that she has already made up her mind as she looked back at them.

"Sorry guys." She said to them before she pressed the ON button.

The portal began to glow red as Dani looked around before it began shooting off electricity. Dani shouted in agony to the top of her lungs as the portal began to work its magic on her. Sam covered his eyes when he couldn't bare to watch as Tina comforted him and James stared in shock. Dani began to feel weaker as the portal removed the ectoplasm clean out of her human DNA and out of her body, back to its original status before her accident a year ago. The screen on the panel began showing that all the ectoplasm has been successfully removed from Dani's body. The portal then exploded when it was incomplete as Dani walked out weakly in her human form. Her clothes were tattered, her face was burnt, and she had a few streaks of white in her hair, almost like highlights.

She groaned as she falls out and collapsed to the floor. Her friends and James quickly dragged her away from the portal just before it exploded.

Sam looked at the portal before turning his attention to Dani. "Dani, can you hear me?! How do you feel?" Sam asked in concern before placing his hand on her hand. He gasped when she places hers on his.

"Human." She said to him before she drifted to unconsciousness.

Sam, Tina, and James all exchanged worried looks before Sam went back to trying to wake her up. "Dani, Dani, can you hear me?!"

"Did she just do what I think she just did?" Tina asked nervously as she stared at her now fully-human friend.

"You mean step back into the Fenton Portal, remove her ghost powers and revert her DNA profile back to that of a normal human?" James clarified in worry.

"I was going to say go un-ghost, but that works, too."

"Greetings, dudes." Vid said with her teammates behind her. "We're here to, like, police the premises for signs of any spectral activity."

"Just go about your business, we're not even here." Download said as the three of them pulled out scanners and began scanning the entire lab. He scanned on the unconscious Dani, but nothing came up.

"Place is clean, no ectos." Thrash said to his teammates.

As Vid and Thrash walked past the teens, Download grabbed Tina's beanie and began autographing it. "There you go, girl, and remember, the mayor watches constantly. Loves you." He handed Tina back her beanie and left the lab to follow his team. She placed her hat back on her head, but didn't look too happy about the autograph.

After the Masters Blasters left, Dani began to come back to her senses. "Wha-what happened?" She asked wearily as she stood up next to her friends. "Did it work?" She began checking her entire body and then ran to the mirror and saw she was in human form and noticed that her hair now had white strands of hair like highlights.

"You didn't register on the Blasters scanner." Tina pointed out.

Dani smiled in confirmation. "Then that means…" She jumped to the center of the lab. "I'm going ghost!" She thrusted her arms up, but she didn't change to her ghost form as her friends and brother stared at her. "I said...going ghost!" And again, nothing has happened as she laughed happily and looked down at herself. "It worked! I don't have my ghost powers anymore! I'm normal again! Isn't that awesome?!"

"Yeah." Sam said dully with his arms crossed.

"Great." Tina said, equally dulled.

"Thrilling." James said, not smiling either.

Dani noticed that neither of them were smiling. "Oh, come on, guys, don't you realize what this means?" She asked them.

"Yeah, that you're just an average, everyday, not-special human again." Sam said sarcastically, still not smiling.

"Oh, come on, Sam. Think of how great this is gonna be. I won't have to fight ghosts anymore. Now, we can all just be normal teenagers and hangout as much as we want."

Sam glared even more as he walked out of the lab. "Yeah, normal rocks."

"Hey, if it's what you wanted, then I'm glad for you, girl." Tina said, who still was not smiling.

"It is, thanks." Dani said.

"Looks like we'll have to find other things to occupy our time, huh?"

"Looks like."

"There's this new Masters Blasters video game we can play. It's cool. You hunt ghosts. See ya." With that depressing note, Tina left the lab to follow Sam.

"I really can't believe you just did that." James said sadly in somewhat disbelief to his little sister. "It feels like I lost a good friend...someone I was just starting to get to know."

Dani frowned in annoyance. "Why is everyone but me bummed about this? Dani Phantom's not needed anymore. From now on, Dani Fenton is just a nice normal girl from a nice normal family. Now, let's go get Mom and Dad out of jail."

As Dani walked the lab in a huff, James glanced back sadly at their now-wrecked and unusable Fenton Ghost Portal before following his now fully-human sister.

At city hall, Matt and Jackie both walked out of the building after their trial and to their children, who were next to the Fenton RV. Since the Masters Blasters have found no ectoplasmic entity in the Fenton Works lab, they have been officially been cleared of accusation of harboring a ghost fugitive and were dismissed from their case, much to their big relief.

"Thanks for getting us out of jail, kids. I knew there must've been some sort of mistake." Matt said.

"I was never worried." Jackie said. "I was this close to tunneling us out of there with trusty ice cream spoon, but then they, uh, served ice cream. So, well...you know."

Matt then noticed Dani's new hair style as he smiled a little. "By the way, Dani, I think cute what you've done to your hair."

"Yeah, it kind of reminds me of that band I was in back in 80s, the Skunk Punks." Jackie pulled out an old newspaper article and showed it to her daughter.

"'The Skunk Punks stink'?" Dani read out loud, looking a little confused.

"Yeah, we walked right into that one."

James, Matt, and Jackie then walked into the Fenton RV. Dani looked up and saw the Masters Blasters blasted a giant purple ghost as it roared in agony before swiping them away with its tail. "Uh, you guys head on home. It's such a nice normal day, that I kind of want to walk around and be...well, normal."

"Well, okay. Just be normally careful. Bye, sweetie." Matt said before he drove the RV away.

Dani smiled in satisfaction as she placed her hands on her hips. "Don't worry, I plan on being careful for a long, long time."


The next two weeks have been quite normal for Dani. Now that she was completely human again, she could ignore a cry for help and the Masters Blasters could take care of the problem, now that all of the citizens didn't need Dani Phantom anymore. People were confused about how their original ghost heroine disappeared, but they didn't seem to care as they only continued to praise for their new team of teen heroes. Sam, Tina, and James, however, still haven't gotten used to Dani making a choice of removing her powers, as they were still bummed about being normal teens again.

One morning, Dani slept peacefully on her bed until Klemper flew past her open window and screamed like an alarm as the Masters Blasters chased after her. Dani woke up and pressed the snooze button on her alarm clock before heading to sleep.

Outside of school, Youngblood's ship hovered over Casper High as everyone gasped as Youngblood laughed out loud. Sam and Tina turned to Dani, but they immediately forgot that she was completely human now and she just looked down and walked away, leaving her friends to exchange sad looks. Youngblood turned to the Masters Blasters on their jet packs as Vid sucked her inside her containment wrist.

One day inside of the school, a group of students ran past Dani, who was going through her locker, as Spector chased after them. She then noticed Daph Baxter and Kwyn running away from Jessie and the shadow ghost before the Masters Blasters chased after their ghost targets. Dani smiled without a care in the world and walked away casually past Sam and Tina, who exchange sad looks with each other. They were still not enjoying Dani being fully human and that they weren't fighting ghosts anymore with her.

About two weeks later after Dani became human again, the trio were all at Sam's basement as they watched the news about the Masters Blasters and their boss, Vladia, as the town seemed to be forced to exchange money to the Masters Blasters with every ghost they captured for them. Of course in everyone's minds, it was for funding weapons, but the trio did know that it was just one of Vladia's schemes to gain even more power to make herself superior than everyone else, even the richest men on the planet.

"And it's been another busy day for Mayor Masters' Masters Blasters." Lena Thunder announced on TV as she showed a video of the teen ghost fighters capturing the Box Ghoul and the citizen was forced to give them some cash. "Who are now charging a small fee to cover their growing expenses."

Vladia then appeared on screen. "Yes, quality ghost fighting is getting very expensive these days." She said as she grinned and showed another video of her team capturing ghosts and charging money from some residences. "Time, equipment, storage, it all adds up. And since that cowardly Dani Phantom has disappeared, not that she ever was helpful, there's no one else in town to assist us." She then showed Vincent Gray in his ghost hunting suit as he flew after a ghost. "Oh, there are certainly a few crackpots out there, who think they have what it takes, but they only get in our way." Vincent suddenly got shoved roughly by Masters Blasters and landed in a garbage truck as it drove away and his hoverboard demolished on the street. "It seems that when it comes to fighting ghosts were the only game in town...and I do so love games." Vladia then laughed evilly briefly before she quickly covered it up. "I-I mean, have a nice day."

Dani sighed happily. "This is the life, just sitting around, not fighting ghosts with my totally ordinary pals. Can you pass me a corn dog?" Dani asked Sam. He narrowed his eyes and shoved one in her mouth before storming outside his house with Dani following him, looking offended. "Sam, wait! There's no reason to get mad, the corn dogs are made of tofu."

"I'm not mad about corn dogs. You're not you anymore: you're just a...a normal kid, and a selfish one at that." Sam said, crossing his arms and frowning at his friend.

"How am I selfish? Because I don't want to endanger the people I care about the most?"

Sam facepalmed himself. "Dani, don't you get it? Your powers gave you a chance to change things, a chance that no one else had, and I was thrilled to be helping you, but…" Sam slumped on the steps miserably and rested his chin on his fist. "Now you're just one of the crowd again."

Dani climbed down the steps and sat next to him with a clueless look on her face. "What's wrong with that?"

"Everything! You got to fight ghosts after school while other kids fought acne, and you don't really seem to care about what you just gave up."

"I care! It's just that I...care about you and my family more."

"When you had your powers, I knew that this town was protected from evil, but now…who knows where we're heading?" Sam looked down at the Masters Blasters next to caged ghosts as a citizen gave some of his cash to them, knowing that Dani would never ask for anything in return. Sam stood up and looked down at Dani. "I'll always be your friend, Dani, and I'll always be there for you, but I can't live life by just sitting on the sidelines; I'm surprised to think that you can." With that sad look, Sam walked back into his house, leaving Dani alone.

Dani allowed his words to sink in before she took a bite out of her corn dog, until she coughed it out in disgust. "YUCK! Tofu."


The next day at Casper High, Dani walked down the hallway, starting to feel more regretful at her difficult choice of being a normal girl. She removed her powers to keep her friends from getting hurt, but...she began to think that she actually hurt their feelings by becoming human again, hurting them even more than endangering them with a parade balloon and she hasn't even noticed for two weeks.

Dani stopped at a Masters Blasters poster taped to the lockers, before she growled in anger as she ripped it out and crumpled it into a ball. Despite the fact that she was ignoring ghosts for two weeks, Dani was still very distasteful at Vladia's team of ghost fighters and hated them for taking her heroics, and that they even made her want to be a normal girl in the first place.

Dani suddenly heard growling while she turned around and gasped and the Lunch Man ghost in his meat monster form crashed through the wall, carrying an armful of burgers and a look of disprovement.

"How dare they serve veggie burgers today, and how dare you students eat them?!" He roared before throwing several of them at the students as they ran for their lives and he grabbed Daph Baxter by her arm as she shrieked in fear.

"Somebody help!" She cried in terror.

"No more sitting on the sidelines! Hang on, Daphne!" Dani said before jumping into the air, but she suddenly remembered that she didn't have her ghost powers anymore and she landed on the floor as she made a look of annoyance. "Oh, right, ordinary girl again."

The Lunch Man then grabbed Dani by her arm and lifted her off the ground as he roared angrily. Then, the Masters Blasters skateboarded into the school, ready for some action.

"Masters Blasters stop disasters!" They shouted in unison.

"Chill, dude!" Vid sassed before firing an ice ray from her skateboard and froze the meat monster in a block of ice before shooting four disks and sliced off his arms to free Daph and Dani as they landed back on the floor.

"What's with you, Fenton? Who do you think you are? Dani Phantom?" Daph retorted as she scowled at her and stood up to her feet before she walked up to the Masters Blasters as the students cheered for them. "You guys are the coolest ghost fighters ever!"

"Thanks, sis." Download said, before he held out his hand. "That'll be three hundred bucks." The students stopped cheering as they all pulled out some of their money, looking bummed that they were still being forced to pay fees.

After school, Dani returned to the lab and stared at the now-ruined Fenton Ghost Portal, unusable, thanks to her using it to remove her ghost half. She pressed a button, but all there was were sparks sparking from the hanging wires.

She stepped inside and looked around. "I'm going ghost!" She cried out as she concentrated and threw her arms up in the air with her voice echoing through the portal, but nothing happened.

She made a look of regret as she looked down, actually realizing her big mistake that she actually gave away someone she really was: a heroine. Sam was right all along, she really did change into a selfish ordinary girl who became part of the crowd again, all because the citizens didn't want her, but she realized Sam was trying to say was that they needed her. The Masters Blasters may have took all her heroics, but she had a very good feeling in her guts that this was exactly what Vladia wanted. All the fees, the ghost fighting, Dani turning back into an ordinary human, Dani knew that Vladia's own team of teen ghost fighters were just her pawns as Vladia tried to shame Dani into retiring from being Dani Phantom so she can make expensive fees for herself. Dani knew that was not what heroes are supposed to do, and the Masters Blasters were just the pawns in Vladia's little game for her to grab more power. Dani realized that Vladia actually got what she wanted.

Dani sadly walked out of the lab and back into the living room, where she found James looking down and bummed on a chair and saw her mother crying as she stared at a picture of the Fenton Ghost Portal as her father tried to comfort her.

"There, there, dear, it's alright. So the ghost portal exploded, it's not the end of the world. You can always make another one." Matt said, looking at the bright side to his sobbing wife.

"I don't want another one!" Jackie cried as tears leaked from her eyes. "That portal and I have been through alot together, and all because I wanted to download music faster! Oh, CURSE MY IMPATIENCE!"

"We interrupt this program to bring you breaking news from the Universal Observatory." Lena Thunder announced on TV before it showed two men in the observatory as everyone in town watched and listened carefully.

The Fentons, Tina, Sam, and everyone else around the world were this big watching the news, which was extremely bad for the entire planet. "Earlier today, our stellar readings indicated that a massive asteroid is hurtling across the solar system!" One one of the observants said with a grace look on his face, showing a familiar-looking large green asteroid flying straight towards the Earth. Dani could have sworn that she has seen that weird-looking asteroid before, but couldn't remember when or where she saw it.

"Where it's trajectory will send it crashing directly into the Earth." His partner added.

"If immediate action is not taken, our entire planet will be completely destroyed."

"We estimate we have one week before impact."

"One week, use it wisely."

They then showed a simulation of what would happen if the giant asteroid crashed into the Earth: it would shatter into millions of pieces and kill every single being on the planet. Everyone gasped in complete shock and absolute horror as Dani looked at the TV in fear, really wishing she didn't remove herself of her powers before this urgent global crisis. Now the world was officially in danger, now that the Earth was in an apocalyptic collision with the giant asteroid, and now everyone needed her once again, now more than ever.
