20. The Ultimate Battle

Danny Phantom Forever

The Ultimate Battle

Things were dark and spooky in the Ghost Zone, as usual, and things were even more restless at Clockwork's lair. The Observants were in Clockwork's lair as he showed them a video of Danny fighting Desiree by himself. She was a giant as she tried to punched him but he dodged her fist and flew at her face as he punched her as hard as he could. He knocked her to the ground and she tried to get up but showed fear as he defeated her and froze her in ice.

Danny smiled victoriously as he joked, "Looks like your wish has been put on ice."

The Observants stared at the round screen as one of them honestly said, "He grows stronger with every victory."

Clockwork showed a serious expression as he stared at the screen and said, "Yes, he will need every bit of strength he has, for he will soon face his greatest challenge yet."

The Observants all looked at Clockwork as one of them troubledly concluded, "So our vision has come to pass."

Clockwork looked at them with an urgent expression as he seriously declared, "Yes. The moment is upon us."

They all looked at the damaged Fenton Thermos that Danny imprisoned his evil future self in, and the Thermos started shaking rapidly. The Thermos then exploded and out of it emerged Dark Danny himself as he stretched his arms out and clinched his fists. His white fire hair burned intensely while he laughed evilly, which echoed throughout the Ghost Zone.

Dark Danny smiled evilly as he held his arms up and maniacally said, "Finally I'm free, and ready to fight!"

Clockwork and the Observants stared at him as Clockwork seriously said, "The time has come."

Dark Danny turned to Clockwork with a hostile expression as he said, "Yes Clockwork, your time has ended and my time has begun."

He held his left hand out and fired a powerful ghost ray from it, which blasted Clockwork and the Observants away. The ray also blew a giant hole in the wall, through which Dark Danny flew out of with his fists out as he escaped into the Ghost Zone.

As Dark Danny flew he smiled maniacally as he said to himself, "I'm free, free to make up for lost time! Now I'm ready to begin a new reign of terror, havoc, and vengeance! But first I'll need to recruit some new help to start my new beginning."

He flew through the Ghost Zone, past some floating doors as he said to himself, "Get ready Danny, because now it's time for you to get a blast from your past!"

Opening theme

The title card showed an image of Danny and Dark Danny standing across from each other in fighting stances. Danny glared daggers with his costume in tatters and scratches all over him while Dark Danny leered at him evilly with no damage on him. The scene began with a bright and sunny day at Casper High as the students had just been let out of school and were leaving. Danny walked out of the school doors with a smile on his face and as he walked on the path several kids greeted him happily.

He passed Dash, who happily said, "Hey Fenton! Good seeing ya!"

Paulina waved at Danny with a flirtatious smile as she said, "See you tomorrow Danny."

She sighed happily while Danny happily joined Tucker and Sam, who were waiting for him at the sidewalk.

They both smiled at him as Sam happily said, "Hi Danny."

Tucker raised his left hand as he happily greeted, "Hey dude."

Danny smiled as he put his arm around Sam and happily said, "Hey guys. What a day huh? No ghosts, no Guys in White, and no hard or annoying classes."

Tucker showed a relaxed smile as they walked and he said, "Yeah, and no big meetings for the mayor of Amity Park. Only one thing could make today better for me."

Suddenly Valerie came to them holding some books as she said, "Hey guys."

Danny and Sam smiled as they simultaneously said, "Hi Valerie."

Tucker smiled lovingly as he pointed his left thumb aside and said, "Hey Val, wanna eat at Nasty Burger later?"

Valeire smiled politely as she said, "Sorry baby I can't, I'm going on patrol."

Tucker was mildly disappointed before he smiled while he said, "Oh okay. How about tomorrow?"

Valerie smiled as she looked at Danny and Sam and said, "Sure, we'll meet for lunch. How about a double date?"

Danny smiled as he looked at Sam and said, "I'm cool with it. What about you?"

Sam smiled as she said, "Sounds good to me."

Valerie smiled happily and said, "Great! See you tomorrow then."

She then jumped in the air as he suit materialized over her and her hoverboard appeared under her feet, she hovered in the air and lowered her visor as she blew Tucker a kiss then flew away.

Tucker had an enchanted smile on his face as he said, "That's it. Today's perfect."

Danny and Sam showed amused smile when Jazz joined them, carrying books in her arms as she said, "Hi guys. What's up?"

Danny smiled at his older sister as he said, "Hey Jazz. We're just enjoying this nice peaceful day. Not a ghost in sight."

Suddenly Danny's younger sister Danielle appeared in front of them in her ghost form as she said, "Boo!"

The others were startled as Jazz jumped a bit and dropped a few papers and Danielle floated in the air and laughed.

Tucker smiled as he pointed at her and said, "Nice one Dani."

Jazz smiled as she sarcastically said, "Very funny Danielle, but you made me drop my papers."

Danielle smiled as she floated down and picked up the papers while saying, "Sorry Jazz. I'll get them."

She held them and looked at them curiously as she asked, "What are these?"

Jazz took them from her as she said, "College application forms. I know college is still five months away but I like to get a jump on things."

Sam curiously looked at the papers as she said, "Yale? Harvard? Stanford? Wow you picked some really good ones."

Jazz smiled at the papers as she said, "Yeah. I've got my future all planned out."

Danielle floated in the air and frowned at Jazz as she said, "Great."

Danny noticed Danielle looked sad and smiled as he said, "Hey Dani."

She looked at him as he changed to his ghost form and floated in the air with a competitive smile as he said, "Race you back home."

Danielle smiled enthusiastically as she said, "You're on!"

She and Danny both flew into the sky and Tucker, Sam, and Jazz smiled as they watched them and then ran after them. Jazz drove Tucker and Sam to Fenton Works and they waited for the two Phantoms as they saw Danny and Danielle racing toward them. They both flew at the front door before stopping and floating in the air in front of the three human teens.

Danny arrived first as he smiled victoriously and said, "I win!"

Danielle smiled competitively as she said, "Yeah, but I'll get you next time."

Danny smiled smugly as he said, "We'll see."

They both landed and changed to their human forms before entering the house while Jazz, Sam, and Tucker followed them.

Jazz put her hand on Danielle's shoulder as she smiled reassuringly and said, "Don't worry. You'll beat him one day."

They entered the living room as Danny called out, "Mom, dad, we're back."

Jack smiled proudly as he looked at them and happily said, "Hey there they are. The future of the Fenton family."

Danny smiled as he said, "Hey dad."

Maddie came out of the kitchen with her goggles on as she happily said, "Hey kids. I'm getting started on dinner, and for dessert I'm baking cookies."

Jack and Danielle both excitedly raised their fists as they excitedly exclaimed, "Yes!"

Danny, Tucker, Sam, and Jazz laughed a bit while Maddie kept working; Tucker and Sam stayed for dinner before heading home.

Later in the evening Danny was happily walking through the hallway upstairs by himself as he said, "My life is perfect. Nothing could ruin this day for me."

He stopped walking when he looked through Danielle's open door and saw her laying on her bed playing a handheld videogame. She looked sad and she didn't play hard as she lost her game, but she did not care as she let out a sad sigh and put it down on her bed.

She sat up and hung her legs over the right side of her bed, Danny came and sat next to her as he said, "Hey Danielle, what's up? I can tell something's bugging you."

Unbeknownst to them, Jazz was passing by with a college application form in her hands when Danielle said, "It's Jazz."

Jazz heard her and her eyes widened in shock as she leaned against the wall and listened to her younger siblings.

Danny looked down at Danielle as he curiously asked, "What about Jazz?"

Danielle kept staring down at the floor as she sadly said, "She's already applying for colleges and planning her life out. Soon she'll be out of the house and I won't have a big sister around anymore."

In the hall Jazz listened as she sympathized, Danny glanced to the side before smiling down at Danielle as he said, "I have to admit, I will miss having her around, but that's still five months away."

Danielle looked up at Danny as she sadly said, "I've only been living here for four months and Vlad only created me five months before that. Five months will go by faster than you think. I haven't even had my first birthday yet and Jazz is already talking about going away to college."

Hearing this made Jazz's eyes widen in shock and realization, then she turned and placed her finger to her chin in nervous thought.

Danny looked down at Danielle as he held up his left palm and sincerely said, "You should talk to Jazz and tell her how you feel."

Danielle stood up and looked at Danny as she held her palms up then sadly looked down at the floor while she said, "I can't do that. I don't want her to go away to college, but I don't want her to give up her future just for me. I guess I'll just have to get used to the idea of growing up without Jazz."

Jazz heard everything and was saddened and touched by her little sister's words, then Danny stood up and said, "Dani…"

Danielle kept looking down as she sulked, "I'm gonna go down and see if any more of mom's cookies are left."

She then turned intangible and phased down through the floor as Danny watched her and then let out a sympathetic sigh. Jazz peered over past the doorsill and looked at Danny before looking down at the college application form in her hands. She felt very conflicted as she kept staring at the paper and then quietly went back to her bedroom to think.

Danny went to his bedroom with a mildly bummed expression as he said to himself, "Man, time flies. But at least…"

Suddenly everything stopped as Clockwork's voice said, "Time out."

Clockwork then appeared through a blue portal that formed from a giant hour hand moving in a clockwise circle.

Clockwork flew to Danny and hung a time medallion around his neck and Danny said, "It can't get any… worse?"

He looked around and then saw Clockwork floating in front of him, and Danny said, "Clockwork? What are you doing here?"

Clockwork changed from his adult form, to his child form, then old man form while he explained, "I've come to warn you ghost child. Your darkest hour draws near. You will soon face your most dangerous enemy ever."

Danny looked nervous as he asked, "Who?"

Clockwork held up the destroyed remains of the Fenton Thermos in his right hand for Danny to see and said, "You."

Danny stared at it and showed a terrified expression as he said, "Oh no! Not him!"

Clockwork put it away with gravely serious expression as he changed to his younger self and said, "Yes. Your evil future self has escaped and is planning his revenge. He will destroy you, your world, and everyone you care about."

Danny held his head in fear as he frantically asked, "How do I stop him?!"

Clockwork changed to his childish form as he seriously said, "I cannot tell you."

Danny was shocked as he exclaimed, "What?! But I need your help?!"

Clockwork showed a serious expression as he changed to his adult form, then elderly form while he said, "I cannot simply tell you how to defeat him, that would risk jeopardizing the future and unleashing chaos. But I will tell you this: you must prepare for the worst, for it is coming."

He pushed a button on his staff and said, "Time in."

He disappeared, as did the medallion around Danny's neck as time started again and Danny was very worried.

He stared out his window as he nervously said, "My evil future self is coming! I've gotta stop him before he attacks!"

He turned and glanced back at his house and seriously said, "I'm not gonna let him hurt anyone! I can't let anyone know he's back, they'll freak out. I've gotta find him and take him down myself before he comes and attacks anyone else!"

He then clinched his fists and narrowed his eyes as he exclaimed, "I'm going ghost!"

He then transformed into his ghost form and his eyes glowed green before he flew and phased through the wall. He flew outside as his legs became a ghostly tail and he took off to search with his fists straight out as he stared forward with a serious expression.

Meanwhile in the Ghost Zone

Dark Danny was floating in front of two ghosts with an evil smile as he said, "So, what do you say? Are you in or out?"

The two ghosts he was talking to were the Fright Knight and Tucker Phantom, who smiled evilly as he said, "Oh yeah! Count me in!"

The Fright Knight had his arms folded as he said, "Very well, we will serve you and join you in your objective."

Dark Danny smiled evilly as he ambitiously said, "Good, and this is just the beginning. We'll build an army of ghosts that will destroy Danny and his friends, we will wreak havoc and conquer the human world and the Ghost Zone, and I will be the one and only Danny Phantom."

Tucker Phantom smiled evilly as he clinched his fists and said, "Yeah! Now we're talking!"

Dark Danny smiled evilly as he said, "But first, it's time we pay Danny a visit and give him a taste of what he's in for."

Tucker Phantom smiled as he snarled while the Fright Knight nodded in agreement and Dark Danny laughed evilly.

The next morning at Fenton Works

Danny's family were sitting at the table eating breakfast together when Danny walked in with a tired expression as he cracked his back.

Maddie looked at him as she curiously said, "Danny are you alright? You don't look so good."

He stretched his arms out and then said, "I'm fine, just a little stiff. I was up pretty late last night on patrol."

Jack smiled eagerly as he said, "Did you find any ghosts and give them a good beating?!"

Danny rubbed the back of his neck as he reluctantly said, "Uh… no."

Jack looked down in disappointment, then Maddie sternly looked at Danny as she said, "Well I'm not sure I like these late night ghost patrols. Unless you know there's a ghost at large you should stay home after curfew and get some sleep."

Danny held his palms up at his sides as he said, "Sorry mom. I just wanted to make sure everything was okay and that no ghosts were trying anything."

Jazz was holding a book in front of her breakfast when she looked at Danny with concern and said, "Danny, is everything alright?"

Danny smiled and feigned innocence as he said, "Sure! Everything's fine! Couldn't be better! There's nothing to worry about!"

They all stared at him with surprised expressions as Jazz said, "Okay…"

Danielle was eating some cereal when she smiled and said, "Come on Danny. Sit down and eat some breakfast."

Danny was secretly very worried but did not concern his family as he walked to the table and said, "Okay, but I can't stay long. I've got a busy day planned."

He sat next to Danielle and made himself a bowl of cereal like hers and started eating at a steady pace to avoid looking suspicious.

Maddie looked at Jazz as she curiously said, "Speaking of busy days, Jazz did you finish filling out your college application forms."

Jazz hesitated as she glanced at Danielle, noticing she looked sad, and reluctantly said, "Uh… Yeah. They're all finished and ready to be sent."

Maddie smiled happily as she said, "That's great honey."

Danielle then sadly got out of her chair and said, "I'm done."

Jazz watched Danielle put her bowl in the sink and walked into the living room; Jazz sympathized for her little sister as she hated to see her so sad. Danny sympathized as well but brushed it off as he had bigger problems to worry about at the moment.

He promptly finished his breakfast and stood up with his bowl as he said, "Okay, I'm done. Thanks for breakfast. Gotta go. Bye."

He quickly put his bowl in the sink and walked out with an awkward smile, leaving Jazz and their parents confused.

Maddie looked at Jack as she asked, "Does Danny seem a little jumpy to you?"

Jack shrugged his shoulders with a clueless expression and Jazz was just as confused as she glanced to the side with curiosity. Danny went straight up to his room and spent the next few hours pacing the floor, stressing about how he would stop Dark Danny.

At one point Danielle came in to talk to him as she entered and said, "Hey Danny, can I talk to you for a second?"

Danny hastily turned her around and shoved her out of his room while he said, "Sorry Danielle, now's not a good time. We'll talk later."

He pushed her out into the hallway and she turned around and looked at him as he smiled nervously and then closed his bedroom door in front of her. Danielle was confused by his behavior but then walked away and left Danny alone in his room as he kept pacing his floor. Meanwhile, a Ghost Portal opened outside in a nearby alley and from it emerged Dark Danny, Tucker Phantom, and the Fright Knight before the portal closed behind them.

Dark Danny put his fists on his sides as he glanced around with an evil smile as he said, "Amity Park, so peaceful, for now."

Tucker Phantom had a monstrous evil smile as he said, "Yeah! We're back and better than ever!"

The Fright Knight looked at Dark Danny as he asked, "Shall we begin our attack?"

Dark Danny looked at him with a serious expression before smiling evilly at Fenton Works across the street while he said, "No! We need to build our army before we can begin conquering the world. We're just here to pay an old friend a visit. Home sweet home."

In his room, Danny was still pacing the floor when Sam walked in and happily said, "Hey Danny. You ready?"

He looked at her and asked, "Ready? Ready for what?"

Sam was surprised as she pointed her left thumb sideways and said, "We're supposed to meet Tucker and Valerie at Nasty Burger for our double date, remember?"

Danny remembered and smiled nervously as he said, "Oh yeah! That's today! I completely forgot! Thanks for reminding me!"

Sam noticed how strange he was acting as she said, "Danny, are you okay?"

Danny kept smiling as he did not want to worry his girlfriend and said, "I'm fine. Just a little excited. Come on let's go."

He took her hand and quickly walked with her out of his room and down the hall, passing Danielle as she watched them leave.

Noticing how strange Danny was acting, Danielle went into Jazz's room and said, "Hey Jazz…"

Jazz was sitting on her bed with a college application form, which she quickly put away as she smiled nervously at Danielle and said, "Hi Danielle. What's up?"

Danielle walked to her while pointing her left thumb behind her and curiously asked, "Does Danny seem a little weird to you?"

Jazz nodded with a concerned expression as she said, "Yeah. He does seem a little edgy today. I think something's bothering him. Where is he now?"

Danielle kept looking at Jazz as she said, "He's going out to lunch with Sam, Tucker, and Valerie."

Jazz got off her bed and stood up as she looked down at Danielle and said, "Okay, when he gets back let's talk to him and find out what's going on."

Danielle nodded in agreement, meanwhile Danny and Sam went out the front door to see Tucker and Valerie waiting for them.

Tucker smiled as he jokingly said, "Hey dude. Ready for a Nasty double date?"

Danny kept smiling nervously as he dragged Sam behind him and walked on the sidewalk and hastily said, "Yeah sure. Come on! We'd better get going. We don't want to be too long. The lunch rush will start soon."

Tucker and Valerie looked at each other with confused expressions before they followed Danny and Sam down the sidewalk. Unbeknownst to them, they were being watched by Dark Danny, Tucker Phantom, and the Fright Knight, who were all standing in an alley across the street.

Dark Danny smiled evilly as he watched them and then looked at his two minions while he said, "A double date, how sweet. A shame we have to rain on their parade. You two, go after them. Let them know that I'm here and their time has come."

The Fright Knight obeyed as he respectfully said, "As you wish."

Tucker Phantom stopped him and held his left hand out as he curiously said, "Hold up, what are you gonna do?"

Dark Danny smiled sinisterly as he transformed to look just like his younger heroic counterpart in his human form.

He smiled at them as he maniacally pointed his right thumb at Fenton Works and said, "I have a family reunion to attend to."

Tucker Phantom smiled evilly as he snarled viciously and then he and the Fright Knight flew away while Dark Danny laughed evilly.

Commercial break

Danny, Sam, Tucker, and Valerie were sitting at a table together at Nasty Burger as they enjoyed a nice lunch.

Valerie and Tucker sat across from Danny and Sam as Tucker smiled and said, "This is great, huh guys?"

Valerie smiled lovingly as she leaned against Tucker and said, "Oh yeah! This is the life!"

Danny kept glancing around frantically and Sam looked at him and asked, "Danny are you okay?"

Danny put on a fake smile as he put his arm around her and said, "Yeah! Of course Sam! Why do you ask?"

Valerie showed concern as she pointed at Danny and said, "Well you have been acting kind of weird today."

Tucker agreed as he said, "Yeah dude. You seem kind of on edge."

Danny took his arm off Sam and smiled as he denied, "Guys, I'm fine. Trust me. There's nothing to worry about."

Suddenly he gasped as his ghost sense went off and Valerie said, "Should've seen that coming."

Just then, the wall behind them was blown up and the blast knocked all four of them to the floor while everyone else looked in shock and fear. A giant hole was blown in the wall and Danny and the others looked to see Tucker Phantom standing in it with an evil smile.

Valerie looked at him with hatred as she said, "You?!"

Tucker Phantom smiled menacingly as he said, "Yo, what's the dizzle fizzles?!"

All the other people started running in fear while Danny and Valerie got on their feet; Danny changed to his ghost form while Valerie's battle suit materialized around her. Danny flew at Tucker Phantom and tackled him and they tumbled across the ground before Tucker Phantom grabbed Danny and pinned him to the ground. Valerie fired a small cannon on the back of her right wrist and blasted Tucker Phantom off of Danny, and he got back up and clinched his fists. Tucker Phantom glared at them and then raised his hands over his head and threw a big ball of ecto energy at them. Valerie materialized her hoverboard and flew along with Danny as they both dodged the ball of ecto energy as it blew up. Sam and Tucker came out and watched Danny and Valerie fight Tucker Phantom together with great effort. Valeire fired a purple ray from her hoverboard and blasted Tucker Phantom before Danny flew at him and punched him in the face.

He fell on his back and Valerie hovered over him as she glared down at him and said, "No one ruins our double date!"

Tucker Phantom smiled deviously as he said, "How about two?"

Valerie was confused as she said, "Huh?"

Tucker then pointed his finger as he yelled, "Valerie look out!"

She looked at where he was pointing but it was too late as she was hit by green blast of energy and knocked down as her hoverboard disappeared. The others joined her and helped her up as they looked to see the Fright Knight float down next to Tucker Phantom, who got back on his feet.

Danny was shocked as he said, "The Fright Knight?!"

The Fright Knight glared at them as he said, "Yes, and I serve a new mater now."

Sam was baffled as she held her hands out to refer to Tucker Phantom as she said, "What?! You're working for him?"

The Fright Knight kept glaring at them as he said, "No! My new master is far more powerful and greater."

Danny gaped in fear as he knew who the Fright Knight was talking about, but Valerie glared daggers and said, "Well whoever your master is, we'll kick his butt just like yours!"

Two small blasters came out of her pack and rapidly fired purple blasts at the Fright Knight and Tucker Phantom but they both dodged them. The Fright Knight floated in the air as he created a purple flaming crystal meteor and launched it at them, but they all scattered to avoid it. Tucker Phantom roared as he flew at them but Danny punched him in the face before Valerie blasted him with a cannon on her left wrist. He fell to the ground and then the Fright Knight fired purple lasers from his eyes, but Danny formed an ecto force-field over himself and the others to block it. He dropped the force-field and then flew at the Fright Knight and hit him with ball of ecto energy and blasted him back. He then grabbed him and threw him at Valerie, who fired both her wrist cannons at him and blasted him toward Tucker Phantom.

He fell down next to him and they both got up as Team Phantom stood in front of them and Danny said, "You've lost!"

Tucker Phantom smiled evilly while the Fright Knight deviously said, "No. We did not come here to destroy you, our master is planning to do that himself."

Danny angrily demanded, "Where is he?!"

Tucker Phantom showed a twisted smile as he joked, "Sorry, he couldn't make it. He's spending time with his family."

Danny's eyes widened in fear, then Tucker Phantom flew away while the Fright Knight turned into a few bats and flew off.

Valerie looked at Tucker and Sam with a confused expression as she said, "Spending time with his family? What's that supposed to mean?"

They shrugged their shoulders while Danny flew away in a hurry and Sam urgently shouted, "Danny wait! Something's wrong! We've gotta go after him!"

Valerie jumped in the air as her hoverboard formed under her feet as she said, "Hop on!"

Tucker and Sam got on her hoverboard behind her, Tucker put his arms around her while Sam held onto Tucker. They held on tight as Valerie flew on her hoverboard and tried to follow Danny as he flew with a ghostly tail and his fists out.

Back at Fenton Works

Dark Danny phased into the living room, disguised as the real Danny in his human form as he looked around with an evil smile. He looked in the kitchen and saw Jack and Maddie working on another invention and he smiled evilly as he walked away before they could notice him.

He went upstairs and went to Danny's room with disdain as he spoke with Danny's voice and said, "And to think this could've all been mine if I hadn't cheated."

He entered Danny's room and then Jazz and Danielle came in behind him as Danielle said, "Danny, I thought you were at Nasty Burger."

Dark Danny showed a twisted smile as he softly said to himself, "And I'd have two sisters instead of one."

The girls walked to "Danny" as Jazz sincerely said, "Can we talk?"

Dark Danny spoke with Danny's voice as he kept smiling creepily as he said, "Sure, but make it quick."

Danielle looked up at him as she asked, "Are you feeling okay Danny?"

Dark Danny looked down at her with the same creepy smile as he said, "Yep. Just fine."

They were both surprised by his new behavior as Jazz asked, "Are you sure?"

Dark Danny grinned at her as he creepily said, "Never been better."

Jazz became confused and slightly nervous as she said, "Okay. You seemed a little on edge earlier and we thought something might be bothering you."

Dark Danny ignored her concern as he looked down at Danielle with his creepy smile as he said, "You know, I never thought I'd end up having another sister."

Danielle happily held her palms up and said, "Yeah, but life doesn't always go the way you plan."

Dark Danny leered down at her as he spoke ominously and said, "You have no idea."

Danielle's smile vanished as she stared up at "Danny" with an unsettled expression as he said, "It's funny how things from your past can suddenly come back to haunt you."

Danielle moved closer to Jazz, who showed concern as she said, "Danny are you sure you're okay? Before you seemed jumpy, now you seem really weird."

Danielle nodded in agreement as she said, "Yeah, it's kind of creepy."

Jazz eyed "Danny" suspiciously as she placed her finger to her lip in thought and said, "Yeah, but it's kind of familiar. Almost like…"

Her eyes widened in shock and realization as "Danny" kept staring at her with an evil smile, seemingly confirming her suspicions.

Jazz then became nervous as she grabbed Danielle's shoulders and backed away with her as she said, "No! It can't be!"

Dark Danny then confirmed her fears as he changed to his true self with an evil smile right in front of the girls. Danielle let out a cry of shock and horror before changing into her ghost form as she sought to protect Jazz.

She stood in a fighting stance as she glared at Dark Danny and said, "You're not Danny! Who are you and what have you done with my brother?!"

Dark Danny smiled sadistically as he said, "I am your brother!"

Danielle stared in shock as she said, "What?!"

Jazz glared at Dark Danny as she pointed at him and said, "No you're not! Maybe you were once, but you are NOT the Danny we know in love!"

Dark Danny smiled evilly as he taunted, "You're right, I'm better."

Danielle was both frightened and confused as she asked, "What's going on?!"

Dark Danny smiled cruelly at her as he placed his hand on his chest and explained, "I'll make it simple for you, try and stay with me. I'm Danny Phantom from the future. I surrendered my human half long ago and now I'm the most powerful ghost there is. Your Danny and I fought not so long ago and beat me, but now I'm back and ready for a rematch!"

Danielle's fists started glowing green as she said, "Then how about you try me first!"

She put her hands together and fired a ghost ray at him, but he did not flinch as he formed a hole in his chest that the ray went through. The ray hit the wall behind him and then he filled in the hole in his chest, much to Danielle's shock.

He smiled evilly as he gloated, "Nice try Danielle."

Danielle looked at him with a spooked expression as she said, "You... You know my name?"

Dark Danny smiled sadistically as he mocked her and said, "I know all about you. You're my idiot cheesehead arch enemy's biggest mistake."

She glared at him and angrily flew at him but he did not flinch as he smiled and then punched her in the face and knocked her to the floor.

Jazz watched her with fear as she yelled, "Danielle!"

Danielle got back up and looked at her as she screamed, "Jazz! Run!"

Jazz fearfully glanced back and forth between her little sister and Dark Danny before she ran out of the room. Danielle glared at Dark Danny and then floated in front of him as she used Maddie's training and tried to punch and kick him repeatedly. Dark Danny did not move as he transformed into a green cloud of smoke, shaped like a body with glowing red eyes, and Danielle's hands and feet passed through him. She stopped and he returned to normal before making two duplicates of himself and then all three of them punched her at the same time. She cried in pain as they knocked her against the wall, she fell to the floor and they merged back into one as Dark Danny smiled evilly at her. She flew at him but he formed a rope of glowing green ecto-energy and wrapped it around Danielle's upper body to restrain her. She desperately struggled to break free until Dark Danny blasted her with a ghost ray and knocked her into the wall again. She cried in pain and her restraints were destroyed, she got back up and flew back at Dark Danny, but he remained motionless as he grabbed her in his right hand.

She struggled but could not escape his grasp as he arrogantly gloated, "You thought you could beat me? Even with ghost powers, I'm the most powerful ghost on the planet, and you're just a little girl."

He then zapped her with his ghost stinger as Danielle screamed in agony and then he threw her at the wall and she reverted to her human form as she fell to the floor.

She was weak as she opened her eyes and looked at Dark Danny as he evilly said, "I suppose because of your age I should spare your life, but that's not my style."

He smiled evilly as his hands glowed green and he prepared to finish her, but Jazz came in with a bazooka and blasted Dark Danny into the wall on the opposite side. She dropped the bazooka and kneeled down over Danielle as she hugged her for protection while Danielle hugged her back in fear.

Jazz turned her head and glared at Dark Danny as she fiercely exclaimed, "Stay away from my little sister!"

He glared at Jazz with a vexed expression before Jack and Maddie entered the room; Maddie had her goggles on as she held a large blaster rifle, and Jack held a large handheld blaster.

They both aimed their weapons at Dark Danny as Jack fiercely yelled, "No one hurts our little girls!"

Dark Danny was not deterred as he smiled evilly and sarcastically said, "How touching. At least you'll all die together."

He prepared to attack when suddenly he heard Danny shout, "Guess again old man!"

He turned and saw Danny fly into the room, intangible, as he flew at Dark Danny and rammed him, and forced him out as they both phased through the wall. Jazz picked up Danielle as she and their parents hurried to the bedroom window and watched Danny and Dark Danny outside.

Dark Danny forced Danny off of him and they both floated in the air as Dark Danny smirked and mocked, "I was wondering when you would show up."

Danny glared daggers at him, meanwhile Valerie, Tucker, and Sam arrived on Valerie's hoverboard as they watched.

They floated in the air as Valerie asked, "Who's that creepy looking ghost?"

Tucker and Sam recognized Dark Danny and were horrified as Sam said, "Oh no! Not him!"

Valerie looked at them over her shoulder as she said, "You know that guy?"

Tucker was very afraid as he exclaimed, "He's Danny!"

Valerie was baffled and scared as she watched and said, "What?!"

Danny glared at Dark Danny as he clinched his fists and fiercely exclaimed, "I beat you once, I'll do it again!"

He flew at Dark Danny with his fists out but Dark Danny smiled evilly as he floated in the air and waited for Danny to come. Danny tried to punch him but Dark Danny grabbed his fist and held him in place, much to Danny's shock and fear.

Dark Danny briefly zapped him with his ghost stinger, prompting Danny to cry in pain, then he said, "I went easy on you last time because I couldn't risk destroying myself. But I exist outside of time, regardless of what happens to you. So there's nothing to stop me from wasting you."

He punched Danny in the face and sent him crashing to the ground, then he flew down and landed in front of him with an evil smile.

Danny immediately stood up and glared with his eyes glowing blue as he countered, "Well, a lot's changed since then!"

He then shot blue ice rays from his hands and froze Dark Danny in a huge chunk of ice, but he did not move and he changed his expression inside the ice. He smiled evilly, much to Danny's shock, and Dark Danny's white fire hair melted the ice and then he fired a ghost ray from his left hand and blasted Danny onto his back.

He smiled maniacally as he gloated, "You may have gotten stronger Danny, but you're still no match for me."

He was suddenly blasted by a purple ray and knocked to the ground and then he looked and saw Valerie flying toward him on her hoverboard with Tucker and Sam riding with her. Dark Danny got back up and glared with an annoyed expression as Valerie prepared to fire her left wrist cannon, but he grabbed the tips of her hoverboard and stopped her in the air. She was shocked and then he swung the hoverboard and knocked her, Tucker, and Sam off and sent them falling to the ground before the hoverboard disappeared.

Valerie groaned on the ground before looking up at Dark Danny as he spitefully said, "You couldn't beat me in the future, Valerie, and you can't beat me now, even with your new suit."

His hands glowed green as he prepared to finish her but Danny flew at him and tacked him away from her, Tucker, and Sam.

He made Dark Danny slide down the street before he got back up and annoyedly said, "Always coming to the rescue aren't you. The world famous superhero Danny Phantom who saved the world."

Danny was a bit shocked as he asked, "How do you know that?"

Dark Danny glared at Danny as he explained, "Since our last encounter Clockwork has been watching you, and even from inside that Thermos I was able to see and hear everything. I've seen everything you've done and I know all about your new powers. I know everything about your life."

He smiled evilly as he glanced to Tucker, Sam, and Valerie at the side and said, "I also know all about your friends: Tucker the mayor of Amity Park, his girlfriend Valerie the best ghost hunter in Amity Park, and your girlfriend Sam."

Danny furiously flew at Dark Danny, but he knocked him away with his backhand, only for Danny to recover and float in the air.

He glared at Dark Danny as he fiercely yelled, "Stay away from my friends and family!"

Dark Danny smiled evilly as he said, "Now why would I do that?"

He was joined by Tucker Phantom and the Fright Knight, prompting the others to gasp as Tucker said, "They're working for you?!"

Dark Danny smiled evilly as he said, "Yes, and this is just the beginning. Soon I'll destroy the world all over again."

Danny flew at him and defiantly yelled, "Not if I can help it!"

He tried to kick Dark Danny but he grabbed his leg and threw him at a car, damaging it as Danny groaned in pain. Dark Danny then fired a ghost ray from his right fist and blasted Danny and the car, causing it to explode.

Tucker, Sam, and Valerie watched in fear as they exclaimed, "Danny!"

Danny was hurt but still standing as he glared daggers and fired a ghost ray at Dark Danny, hitting him and knocking him down. He got back up while Danny groaned in pain and fell to his knees as he willed himself to keep fighting while Dark Danny smiled evilly.

Danny's friends came to his aid and they all looked at Dark Danny as he said, "I suggest you save your energy, Danny. You'll need it. I'll be back soon, and then the real fun will begin."

He turned around and held his right hand out as it glowed green while he created a Ghost Portal in the air.

The Fright Knight glared at Danny and his friends and pointed at them while he said, "Our work is done, the message clear! Your end now draws very near! Our army's wrath will be severe, so flea now or perish here."

Tucker Phantom and the Fright Knight both turned around and flew through the portal into the Ghost Zone. Dark Danny smiled evilly back at the four teens before flying through the portal himself as it closed behind him.

Valerie looked at the others as she nervously said, "Our army's wrath?"

Danny groaned as he got on his feet and complained, "Great! Now I have to worry about those two and whatever else my alternate self has in store."

Sam then glared at Danny as she asked, "Did you know about him?"

She, Tucker, and Valerie all glared at Danny as he reluctantly said, "I… Uh… Yes."

They all glared at him but then Danny heard his family in his room and he flew up with a ghostly tail and phased into his room. He turned solid and floated near the ceiling as he looked to see his parents and Jazz gathered around Danielle as she laid on the floor.

Jack stared down at her as he frantically said, "Danielle! Are you okay?! Say something!"

She looked up at them as she groaned in paid but smiled as she said, "Do you have any Fenton band aids?"

They smiled as they realized she was okay, then Danny landed in front of them and asked, "Is everyone okay?"

Danielle clung to Jazz in fear as she stared at Danny and said, "Danny! Is it really you?!"

Understanding her fear, he calmly held his hands up and said, "It's me Dani. He's gone for now. We're safe."

She then rushed to Danny and hugged him before looking at him with a traumatized expression and said, "Danny! That was too close! He almost killed me!"

Danny pulled her off of him and reassuringly said, "I know! But don't worry. I'm not gonna let him hurt you or anyone else."

Maddie glared at Danny as she put her hands on her hips and sternly said, "Danny, you've got some explaining to do."

Sam, Tucker, and Valerie walked in as they glared and Sam said, "I'll say."

Later, they were all down in the living room as Danny, in his human form, explained everything about Dark Danny to his friends and family.

He finished explaining everything as he said, "So I gave the Thermos to Clockwork and then I returned the test answers to Lancer."

The others were all sitting on the couch with their mouths agape as Danielle said, "Whoa!"

Jack showed a confused expression as he said, "I got the part where you kids went to the future and met your older evil self, but after that you lost me."

Danny held his palms up as he calmly explained, "That's okay dad. It's all really complicated."

Valerie, in her regular clothes, was almost speechless as she asked, "So all this happened because of the C.A.T.?"

Danny nodded as he said, "Yeah, because I got desperate and almost cheated on it."

Maddie was shocked as she said, "Well I'm really glad you didn't."

Jazz looked very troubled as she said, "I knew you defeated Dark Danny, but I didn't know he was still out there."

Danny looked at her as he urgently said, "Yeah! Clockwork came to me last night and told me he was back."

Sam stood up and walked to Danny with her arms out as she frantically exclaimed, "Why didn't you tell us sooner?!"

Danny looked at her as he apologetically said, "I didn't want you guys to worry."

Tucker got up and held his arms out as he frantically said, "Not worry?! Dude! If your evil older self is back we're all in trouble!"

Danny looked at them all as he narrowed his eyes and seriously said, "I know! And I will! Somehow I'll stop that evil chump version of me and make sure he doesn't come back again!"

Danielle then curiously asked, "How?"

Danny's serious expression vanished as he became nervous and he said, "I… I don't know! I have to think of something before he comes back with whatever he's got up his sleeve!"

Seeing him worried, Sam grabbed his shoulders as she sincerely said, "Danny, calm down! We'll help you. We'll find a way to stop him, together."

The others all stood up behind her and smiled proudly as they nodded in agreement; Danny calmed down a little but still felt nervous.

He glanced around at them as he urgently said, "Okay, but we have to figure something out fast! There's no telling what he's up to right now!"

Meanwhile in the Ghost Zone

Walker was in his office in the Ghost Zone Prison as he spoke into a microphone and said, "I'm still waiting on my lunch! What's taking so long?!"

Suddenly a hole was blasted in the wall behind him and he turned around and said, "What the…?"

He stared up in shock and saw Dark Danny floating in the hole with the Fright Knight and Tucker Phantom.

Dark Danny smiled evilly as he said, "It's time someone else made the rules."

In the prison yard all the guards looked up as an explosion occurred in Walker's office and he was sent crashing down to the ground. Some of the guards came to help him while others watched as Dark Danny, Tucker Phantom, and the Fright Knight floating in front of them.

Walker then furiously pointed at them as he ordered, "Don't just float there! Take them down!"

All of the guards aimed their weapons and fired them, but Dark Danny didn't even flinch as he created a force-field around himself, Tucker Phantom, and the Fright Knight. They stopped shooting and stared in shock, then Dark Danny dropped his force-field and let out his Ghostly Wail. They all cried in pain as they were sent flying through the air and the Ghostly Wail also destroyed the walls and towers around them.

Rubble was everywhere as Walker got up, then Dark Danny grabbed him and sadistically said, "Sorry warden, it's time for a new law and order."

He punched Walker and sent him flying out of the Ghost Zone prison while all his guards watched in shock and terror.

They all stared at Dark Danny in fear as he said, "Unless anyone else wants to go on the same flight, you'll do what I say, when I say it."

All of the guards smiled nervously as they complied and nodded, then Dark Danny shut his eyes and laughed maniacally.

Commercial break

Maddie was in the basement lab with her goggles on as she trained in her martial arts with Jazz and Danielle. She held her glowing green bo staff and whirled it around while Danielle and Jazz did the same thing with regular bos.

They copied her movements as she fiercely swung her bo and stuff while saying, "Keep training girls! We'll have to be at our best to defeat that vile imitation of your brother!"

Danielle stopped and showed a nervous expression as she said, "Yeah, no kidding."

Jazz stopped and looked down at Danielle with concern as she said, "Danielle, are you okay?"

Danielle nervously looked up at Jazz as she honestly said, "I'm just a little scared about fighting him again."

Maddie kneeled down and held Danielle's shoulders as she sincerely said, "Don't worry Danielle. We won't let him or anyone else hurt you."

Danielle felt a bit better as she smiled lovingly and said, "Thanks mom."

Upstairs, Valerie was talking with Tucker, Sam, and Danny while Jack was in the ops center, looking out the windows with binoculars.

He lowered his binoculars with a serious expression as he said, "No sign of any ghost activity anywhere close by."

In the living room, Danny was pacing the floor while the others watched him with concern as Sam said, "Danny, please calm down."

Danny stopped pacing and looked at them as he nervously said, "How can I calm down?! My evil future self is back and he's planning to destroy me and everyone I care about!"

Tucker held his hands up as he urged Danny, "Easy dude. We still got time to come up with a plan to beat him."

Danny was still nervous as he moved his arms around and said, "Time? He could come back at any time! We have no idea what he's planning or when he'll return! We need a plan to stop him ASAP!"

Valerie thought for a moment and curiously asked, "How'd you beat him the first time?"

Danny looked at her as he negatively replied, "I used my Ghostly Wail to stop him, but that won't work this time. It worked last time because he didn't know I could do it, but now he probably knows everything about me."

Tucker smiled as he pointed at Danny and said, "You still got your cool ice powers."

Danny looked at Tucker as he pessimistically said, "You saw my fight with him. My ice powers might help my chances but they won't be enough to stop him."

Tucker looked down with disappointment, then Valerie smiled as she stood up and happily said, "Well this time you got all of us to help you out."

Danny showed appreciation but still frowned as he said, "Thanks Val, but I'm not sure I like that. Last time I fought him he almost killed Tucker, Sam, and my family. He almost killed Danielle today."

Sam showed concern as she looked at Tucker and Valerie and said, "And he's got the Fright Knight and Tucker's evil ghost clone helping him."

They both quickly became concerned as Valerie looked at Tucker and said, "Tucker, should we warn the city about that evil Phantom?"

Danny looked at Tucker as he urgently said, "Yeah, maybe we should evacuate Amity Park."

Tucker looked uncertain as he said, "I'm not sure that's a good idea."

Danny was surprised as he curiously asked, "Why not?"

Tucker held up his two left fingers as he honestly replied, "Two reasons: 1. I don't want to start a panic, and 2. I have no idea how to explain this to them."

Danny frowned in agreement as he said, "True."

Valerie was mildly troubled as she glanced around at the others and said, "So… What should we do?"

Danny was very stressed as he sat down, held his head, and said, "I don't know."

Sam looked down at Danny with a serious expression as she said, "We keep working."

Danny looked up at her with surprise and curiosity as he said, "Sam?"

She turned from him to Tucker and Valerie as she determinedly said, "Evil Danny's coming and who knows what he's got planned?! We need to stop laying around and prepare for the worst! This is our reality and we're gonna kick him out of it no matter what!"

Tucker and Valerie smiled as they happily raised their fists and cheered, "Yeah!"

Danny's spirits were lifted as he smiled, stood up, and asked, "Alright, what's the plan? Anyone have any ideas?"

Tucker smiled deviously as he got an idea and pointed at Valerie as he said, "I've got an idea! Valerie, can you give me a ride to the museum?"

Valerie smiled eagerly as she said, "You got it!"

Her suit materialized over her and then she formed her hoverboard beneath her feet, which Tucker climbed on behind her.

He looked at Danny and Sam as he smiled slyly and said, "We'll be back, we just need to pick something up."

Valerie flew out the front door with Tucker riding behind her on her hoverboard and then they flew off into the city.

Danny looked at Sam and curiously asked, "Okay, while they're getting whatever Tucker is thinking of what do we do?"

Sam pointed behind Danny as she suggested, "Well, I think we should help your family prepare for your evil older self's attack."

Danny urgently nodded in agreement as he said, "Good idea! I have a bad feeling we're going to need to be ready for anything."

Meanwhile in the Ghost Zone

Tucker Phantom was talking to a certain ghost with an evil smile as he sinisterly said, "So, what do you say?"

He was talking to Hotep RA, the mummy ghost, who smiled evilly as he said, "Oh yes! You are much better than my previous master!"

They both smiled evilly before flying away; meanwhile the Fright Knight went to the Ghost King's castle and assembled his army of ghost skeletons.

Later Tucker Phantom found Lydia and smiled evilly as he said, "So, you in?"

She nodded and bowed in respect and then Tucker Phantom flew away into the Ghost Zone with Lydia following him. They flew over to Dark Danny, who was standing on a small floating rock with an evil smile as he watched Walker's guards do his bidding.

Tucker Phantom floated down onto the rock behind him, and so did the Fright Knight, who said, "We have returned."

Dark Danny looked at them with a serious expression as he said, "Progress report."

Tucker Phantom smiled deviously as he pointed his thumb at Hotep RA and Lydia behind him and said, "I got two new members to join us."

The Fright Knight spoke ominously as he said, "And I have raised my army of terror. We will be ready at your command, master."

Dark Danny smiled maniacally at them before turning forward with his fists on his sides as he said, "Good, but there's still much work to be done. Soon our army will be powerful enough to destroy Danny and begin our reign over the Earth."

Back at Fenton Works

Danny was with Sam and his family in the lab as they gathered various ghost hunting weapons as they prepared for battle. Danielle floated in the air in her ghost form along with Danny as they sparred together and practiced with their ghost powers. She narrowed her eyes at Danny and clinched her fists as she tried to use ice powers like him, but all she shot were rays of ecto-energy.

Danny dodged her rays and she hung her arms in disappointment as she said, "How am I supposed to stand a chance against Dark Danny if I can't do any of your best moves."

Jazz smiled encouragingly as she said, "Keep trying Danielle, you can do it!"

Danielle then grunted as she tried to duplicate herself but only sprouted a second head, both heads sighed in disappointment.

She returned to her regular shape as Danny pointed at her and suggested, "Maybe you should have a ghost hunting weapon with you, just in case."

Danielle nodded in agreement as she sadly looked down, then they heard Tucker's voice shout, "Danny, we're back!"

Danny took Sam's hand while his legs became a ghostly tail and then he phased himself and her upstairs through the ceiling.

After they left, Jazz came under Danielle and smiled as she sincerely said, "Don't let it get you down. I know when the time comes you'll rise above yourself and do something amazing. One day you'll be as great as Danny."

Danielle smiled lovingly at her older sister, meanwhile Danny and Sam phased up into the living room before they turned solid.

They both stood on the floor before Danny let go of Sam's hand as she curiously asked, "Did you get what you wanted?"

Tucker stood next to Valerie as he smiled proudly and held up the Scarab Scepter as he said, "Yep. Take a look!"

Danny was surprised as he pointed at it and said, "Hey, that's the scepter from the museum. The one that mummy ghost used to try and takeover Amity Park."

Tucker smiled as he nodded and said, "Yeah!"

Valerie smiled happily at Danny and Sam as she said, "Tucker says it can do all kinds of things that could help us beat Future Danny."

Tucker smiled egotistically as he said, "Yep, this scepter made me king before I became mayor."

Sam was uncertain as she held her hands out toward him and reluctantly said, "Are you sure that's a good idea Tucker? Remember what it did to you last time?"

Tucker smiled confidently as he held his left hand to refer to the scepter and said, "Don't worry Sam. I won't let this thing mess with me or make me do anything. Trust me."

Danny smiled optimistically as he said, "Good, because that thing might be just what we need to kick my evil alternate reality's butt!"

Valerie smiled as she happily raised her fist and cheered, "Oh yeah! Now we're cooking! Nothing's gonna stop us now!"

Suddenly an alarm sounded and a red light flashed and everyone immediately hurried back downstairs to the lab to join the rest of the Fentons.

They hurried to them as Danny asked, "What's going on?!"

Jack and Maddie were staring at a monitor as Jack urgently exclaimed, "The Ecto Exodus Alarm is going off!"

Danielle was confused as she asked, "The what?"

Jazz showed a scared expression as she said, "An alarm that only goes off when we're about to be attacked by a bunch of ghosts!"

Danny was also a bit scared as he urgently said, "The last time it went off was when the Ghost King was free!"

Maddie stared at the monitor in shock as she said, "A massive number of ghosts are about to come out through the Fenton Portal."

They all stared at the Fenton Portal in fear as Danielle looked at Danny and asked, "Do you think this is what Dark Danny was planning?"

Danny narrowed his eyes as he turned from Danielle to the Fenton Portal while he seriously said, "There's only one way to find out! Come on!"

She narrowed her eyes as she followed him; Danny and Danielle floated with their fists clinched as they narrowed their eyes. They gritted their teeth as they prepared for anything while the rest of the Fentons, Tucker, Sam, and Valerie also fiercely awaited what would come out. Jack, Maddie, Jazz, Tucker, and Sam armed themselves with various ghost hunting weapons and aimed them at the portal. Valerie stood in a fighting stance while she activated two cannons on her wrists and made two blasters come out of her pack as she stared at the portal fearlessly.

Maddie held a bazooka in her hands as she glared her goggles at the portal and said, "This is it everyone! Get ready!"

Everyone kept glaring daggers as they stared at the portal and awaited whatever ghost was about to come out of it.

A ghost came out of the portal and Jack shut his eyes as he exclaimed, "Take him down!"

Everyone fired their weapons simultaneously while Danny and Danielle fired beams of ecto-energy from both of their hands. They all kept shooting for a moment before they finally stopped and opened their eyes and were shocked to see they missed every shot and it was just the Box Ghost.

Danielle lowered her arms in shock as she said, "The Box Ghost?!"

The Box Ghost floated in the air with a scared expression as he held his arms up and yelled, "Beware!"

He then turned intangible and flew out of the house while they watched him, then Jazz nervously said, "That can't be good."

Skulker then emerged from the portal along with Spectra, Ember, and Technus, who all showed scared expressions.

Skulker glared at Danny and Danielle as he angrily demanded, "Out of our way welps!"

He activated a blaster on his left wrist and shot Danny and Danielle and knocked them both down to the floor.

Skulker turned to the others and motioned for them to move as he exclaimed, "Go! Flee! Move out! Hurry!"

The humans all watched as Skulker and the other ghosts turned intangible and phased up through the ceiling. Many other ghosts flew out of the Fenton Portal and phased up through the ceiling as they fled in terror. Danny and Danielle got up and phased up through the ceiling and then flew out of the house as they saw many ghosts floating above them. Some of the ghosts were Danny's enemies, while some were his friends, and some were merely monstrous ghosts he didn't know.

Danny's enemies all glared down at him as Ember bitterly said, "Dipstick, you're a bigger pain for us than you know!

Danny and Danielle looked up at them in surprise as Danielle asked, "What are you talking about? What's going on?"

Danny looked up at them as he urgently asked, "Yeah, what are you all doing here?'

Skulker glared at Danny as he pointed at him and said, "We're trying to get away from you!"

Danielle was confused but smiled as he joked, "Then you're doing a lousy job at it."

Danny looked at Danielle as he nervously said, "I think he means my evil older self."

Skulker showed a serious expression with his fists on his sides as he said, "Exactly! We know all about your evil counterpart. Clockwork told us all about him."

Poindexter floated higher in the air as he glared and said, "He's the biggest bully in the Ghost Zone, and he came from you!"

Danny showed a bit of fear, then Danielle spoke up and curiously asked, "So you're all running from Dark Danny?"

Danny kept looking up at all of them as he added, "And you're here to hide from him like you did from the Ghost King?"

Skulker glared at Danny as he threateningly said, "This is even greater than the threat that the Ghost King presented! Your alternate future self is wreaking havoc in the Ghost Zone. Him and his growing army."

Danny quickly became concerned as he asked, "Army? What army?"

Skulker kept staring down at them as he replied, "He's been recruiting and coercing ghosts into joining him in his quest for destruction. He's already gotten the Fright Knight to raise the Ghost King's former army."

Danny's eyes widened in terror as he said, "Oh no!"

Walker floated next to Skulker with his clothes in tatters as he angrily clinched his fist and yelled, "He also kicked me out of my own prison took control of my guards!"

Young Blood floated in his pirate costume with his arms out as he whined, "He took my skeleton crew too!"

Danny and Danielle both showed scared expressions as Danielle nervously said, "So he's building an army to attack us with."

Skulker kept glaring at them as he pointed at Danny as he gravely said, "Yes! He's coming for you ghost boy! And when he and his army come, we will be hiding and waiting for them to leave."

All of the ghosts flew away while Danny held his hand out and desperately yelled, "Wait! Come back! We can stop him if we work together!"

The ghosts did not listen as they all flew away while Danny and Danielle floated in the air and watched them.

Danielle looked at Danny and held her palms up as she asked, "Now what?"

Danny looked at her nervously as he shrugged his shoulders, not sure about what to do or how to answer her question. The rest of the Fentons, Tucker, Sam, and Valerie all came out and stood on the sidewalk when Danny and Danielle flew down and landed in front of them.

Sam was concerned as she curiously asked, "What happened?"

Danny showed a nervous expression as he said, "Guys, I think things just went from bad to worse."

Back in the Ghost Zone

Dark Danny was fighting and beating Aragon in his dragon form as he punched him hard in the face then blasted him with a ghost ray. He then flew at him as fast as he could with his fists out and rammed him in the stomach and sent him crashing down on top of a giant floating rock.

Aragon reverted to his human ghost form and looked up at Dark Danny as he begged, "Alright! Alright! I'll serve you!"

Dark Danny smiled evilly down at Aragon; later he fought the Behemoth, the giant forearmed ghost that once guarded the Skeleton Key. The Behemoth roared ferociously as it tried to smash Dark Danny with all four of its fists but Dark Danny was not afraid as he dodged it. He made three duplicates of himself and together all four Dark Dannys surrounded the behemoth and attacked him. One blasted the Behemoth with a ghost ray, the other flew at its face and punched it, the third one created a huge ball of ecto-energy and threw it at the Behemoth's stomach, and the fourth kicked him in the back. The Behemoth roared in pain but kept fighting as he grabbed each Dark Danny in his hands and threw them away. Dark Danny merged back into one and used his Ghostly Wail to defeat the Behemoth as he sent him crashing into a giant rock, destroying it, and then making him float in pain.

Dark Danny floated over the Behemoth and glared down at him as he said, "Will you do as I say?"

The Behemoth glared at Dark Danny as he snarled, but then let out a huff of compliance as he nodded begrudgingly.

Later Dark Danny went to see Nocturne, who seriously complied and said, "Very well. I shall join your army."

Dark Danny smiled evilly as he said, "Good, we're almost ready."

Back at Fenton Works

Danny and Danielle had told the others everything that Skulker and the other ghosts had told them and they all looked very troubled.

Tucker was very nervous as he said, "So Dark Danny is building an army of ghosts to come and destroy us!"

Sam looked at the others as she held her arms out to her sides and urgently said, "And once he's done with us he'll use his army to destroy and conquer the rest of the world!"

Valerie looked nervous as she said, "This might be a little harder than we thought."

Danielle glanced around at everyone as she nervously asked, "What are we gonna do?"

Maddie looked at Danielle as she nervously said, "I think we're going to need help for this."

Danny narrowed his eyes with a serious expression as he said, "No!"

The others all looked at him in shock as they exclaimed, "What?!"

Danny stared into space as he seriously said, "I have to do this on my own! I'm going into the Ghost Zone, and I'm going to find the evil me and I'm going to stop him and his army before they can hurt anyone else!"

Jazz looked at Danny with fear as she exclaimed, "Danny, are you crazy?!"

Sam agreed as she stood in front of Danny and pleaded, "Yeah! You can't stop them all by yourself! He could kill you!"

Tucker agreed as he urgently said, "Sam's right dude. You're gonna get yourself killed if you go after him like this."

Valerie also agreed as she sincerely said, "Yeah, let us help you Danny. Maybe we can stop his army together somehow."

Danny's expression softened as he turned from Sam to the others and said, "Sorry guys, I have to do this. I can't risk him hurting all of you. I have to stop him myself."

Maddie glared at him as she sternly said, "Young man, you are not facing an army of evil ghosts all on your own! I forbid it!"

Danny narrowed his eyes and floated in the air as he seriously said, "Sorry mom, I can't listen to you this time."

Jack pointed at Danny as he strictly said, "Danny, listen to your mother!"

Danny turned around and prepared to fly out when Danielle held her right hand out and begged, "Danny no! Don't do it!"

He was about to fly out but stopped when suddenly a giant minute hand appeared and moved clockwise, forming a blue portal that Clockwork emerged from.

The portal closed behind him as he stared at Danny with a serious expression and said, "You should listen to your family."

Everyone was shocked as Danny, Tucker, and Sam simultaneously said, "Clockwork?!"

Jack was surprised as he said, "I did not see that coming."

Clockwork stared at Danny in his adult form before changing to his elderly form while he said, "I've come to stop you Danny."

Danny was shocked as he exclaimed, "What?!"

Clockwork changed to his childish form as he pointed at Danny, then he changed to his adult form then elderly form as he seriously said, "You can't go down this path. It will end horribly for you and everyone you care about."

Valerie became nervous as she curiously asked, "How do you know?"

Clockwork looked at all of them as he changed between his different forms and seriously said, "I know everything. I've looked ahead and seen your future. I've seen all the possible routes you may take and they outcome of every one of them."

Everyone looked nervous as Tucker curiously asked, "How many did you see?"

Clockwork kept staring at them as he changed from his infant form to his adult form while saying, "14,564."

Danny was very wary as he reluctantly asked, "How many did I win?"

Clockwork looked at him with a gravely serious expression as he changed to his elderly form and answered, "One."

Everyone's eyes widened in fear as they jumped in shock, worried about what Clockwork was warning them about.

Meanwhile in the Ghost Zone

Dark Danny was floating in the air with his fists on his sides and an evil smile on his face as he stared at his ghostly army floating in front of him. His army consisted of the Fright Knight, his skeleton army, Tucker Phantom, Aragon, Walker's guards, the Behemoth, Lydia, Hotep RA, Nocturne, Armand, Young Blood's crew, and Vlad's old ghost animals.

The Fright Knight was sitting on his horse as he held his sword in his right hand and said, "We are awaiting your orders master."

Dark Danny smiled maniacally as he stared at his army and said, "Yes! We're ready! Now it's time to make history!"

Commercial break

Clockwork was floating in the living room of Danny's house as he looked at him, his family, and his friends with a serious expression.

Danny held his hands out as he asked, "Clockwork, how do I beat him?"

Clockwork shook his head with a serious expression as he said, "I can't tell you that."

Danny expressed frustration as he said, "Aww come on man!"

Jack also showed frustration as he exclaimed, "Yeah! Are you gonna help us or not!"

Clockwork changed to his elderly form, then his childish form, then adult form while he said, "Time is a delicate and fragile thing, I can't just tell you what to do. But I can tell you this. Danny, you must defeat your evil self, but you can't do it alone."

He then vanished through a portal and left everyone as Danny kept floating in the air and turned back to the others.

Sam then sincerely said, "You see Danny? You can't fight this battle by yourself! You need our help."

Danny surrendered as he sighed and said, "Okay, I really hope Clockwork is right. I don't think we're going to be enough to stop the evil me's army."

Maddie showed a nervous expression as she said, "I think you're right Danny. We're going to need all the help we can get if we're going to see this through."

Tucker smiled as he raised his right finger and suggested, "Since the evil Danny is building an army, maybe we should build an army of our own."

Danny suddenly smiled deviously as he said, "And I think I know where we can get the troops."

Danny, Tucker, and Sam went to Casper High and talked to Dash, Paulina, Kwan, Star, and a bunch of other students and told them what was happening.

Danny smiled as he politely asked, "Well, what do you say?"

Dash smiled as he pointed at his himself and said, "We're in Phantom!"

All the kids happily cheered in excitement while Danny smiled proudly; later, he and his friends went to the GIW's headquarters.

He told K and O everything, and K stubbornly asked, "And why should we help you Phantom?"

Danny glared at them as he impatiently held his arms out toward them raised them over his head while saying, "Because if you don't these ghosts will destroy Amity Park and maybe the rest of the world!"

Tucker smiled slyly as he pointed his right finger at the Guys in White and said, "And even if they don't I'll use my power as mayor to pull your funding."

They both immediately complied as they said, "We'll help you."

Later, they found Wulf hiding in an alley and Tucker came to him and spoke to him with Esperanto and asked for his help.

He looked at Wulf with his left palm out as he said, "So Wulf, cu vi helpos nin?"

Wulf nodded with a serious expression as he said, "Jes! Friend!"

Tucker smiled as he lead Wulf away, meanwhile Cujo was running through the streets when Valerie came flying after him on her hoverboard.

She whistled and yelled, "Hey Cujo!"

He stopped and turned to her as she said, "Come with me and I'll give you a brand new squeaky toy."

Cujo smiled as he panted and followed Valerie back to Fenton Works as he panted heavily. Later, Danny and Danielle went to find Skulker and their other ghostly enemies to ask them for help.

Danny narrowed his eyes as he folded his arms and said, "Look, I know you guys all hate me and my world, but if we don't work together my evil adult self will destroy us all. So what do you say?"

They glared at Danny as Skulker had his fists on his sides and gruffly said, "Fine! We'll help. But only because we hate your evil counterpart more than we hate you."

Danny and Danielle smiled as they flew off with their enemies following them, later at Fenton Works Danny's family was preparing for the fight ahead.

Danny floated in front of Sam and Jazz in the basement as Jazz said, "The Guys in White are getting the White Knights ready, the ghosts have agreed to help us, and everyone from school has been equipped with ghost hunting weapons. Are we ready Danny?"

Danny shook his head as he honestly said, "Not yet. We still need a little more help if we're going to stand a chance of stopping the evil me's army. And I know exactly who to ask."

Danny turned around and flew through the Fenton Portal; he traveled to the Realm of the Far Frozen and met Frostbite and his people.

Danny explained everything to Frostbite as he asked him for help and Frostbite said, "Yes Great one, Clockwork has informed us of your evil future variant, and we will gladly help you defeat him."

Danny smiled as he gratefully said, "Thanks Frostbite. With you guys and everyone else I think we've got a chance of beating the evil me and his army."

Frostbite smiled as he held the Infi-Map in his ice hand and said, "And in case we're not enough we will have this to help us."

Danny was surprised and confused as he said, "The Infi-Map?"

Frostbite seriously replied, "It may provide us the means to defeat your variant once and for all. The map was created by Clockwork himself. It is one of the most powerful relics in all of the Ghost Zone."

Danny smiled eagerly as he said, "Well then, let's get this party started."

Later at Fenton Works, Danny's army was assembled outside his house; the Guys in White and their hazmat agents were gathered around the house with the White Knights flying overhead. Dash and the other kids from Casper High were wearing orange jumpsuits and were armed with ghost hunting weapons. And all of the ghosts were floating high in the air near the ops center as they stared out in different directions. Danny was with his family and Sam in the ops center; Danny and Dannielle were in their human forms as Danny looked out the window at their army. Suddenly Tucker entered the ops center as he came out of the fridge, along with Valerie and her dad.

The three of them were coughing and Tucker glared at Jack as he pointed his thumb at the fridge and said, "Mr. F, you seriously need to get rid of that ham!"

Jack smiled sheepishly, then Danny spoke up and said, "How's it going Tuck?"

Tucker pointed his thumb behind him before looking at Damon as he said, "I've had the town evacuated and everyone willing to help us is outside with the others. By the way, thanks for coming Mr. Gray."

Damon held a high-tech rifle as he seriously looked at Valerie and said, "If Valerie's in, then so am I."

Valerie smiled as she hugged her father, then Danielle looked at Danny and curiously said, "Danny, do you think this will all be enough?"

Danny was unsure as he turned around and stared out the window and said, "I don't know. I hope so. We definitely stand a fighting chance with all of this."

Sam came up to Danny and held his hand as she confidently said, "We'll beat him Danny. I know we will."

Danny smiled lovingly at her before turning to the others as he said, "Well, whatever happens, I want to thank you all for standing by me."

Tucker smiled proudly as he said, "Don't sweat it dude. That's what friends are for."

Maddie smiled lovingly as she said, "That's also what family is for Danny."

Danielle smiled as she turned from Danny to Jack, Maddie, and Jazz as she said, "Speaking of family, I just want to say how happy I am to be a Fenton. Moving in with you all was the best thing that ever happened to me. I love you guys."

Maddie smiled lovingly as she said, "We love you too Danielle."

Jack happily agreed as he said, "You betcha baby. And even though you haven't been with us that long, it feels you've always been a part of our family."

Jazz agreed as she went to Daneille and put her hand on her shoulder and lovingly said, "They're right Danielle. You're a member of our family and we love you no matter what."

Danielle smiled happily as she said, "Thanks Jazz."

Jazz smiled as she sincerely said, "Danielle, there's something I have to tell you."

Before she could say anything else an alarm went off and a red light flashed, and Maddie hurried over to a terminal and stared at a screen.

She then urgently said, "Ecto readings are off the scale! There's something big on the edge of town!"

Danny narrowed his eyes as he bravely said, "It's him! This is it! I'm going ghost!"

He transformed into his ghost form and heroically flew out of the ops center with a ghostly tail and flew to the edge of town.

Jack looked at Danielle as he fiercely pointed at the fridge and said, "Danielle, activate the emergency op-center release!"

Danielle smiled eagerly as she ran to the fridge and pushed the button, next to the ham, and the op-center began to change. It became the Fenton Blimp as it detached from the house and flew after Danny, and all the ghosts flew with it while everyone else followed on the ground. Danny flew to the outskirts of Amity Park and floated above the ground as he saw a giant Ghost Portal in front of him.

Dark Danny emerged from the portal and smiled evilly and said, "Hello Danny."

Danny glared at him with his arms folded as he said, "I was wondering when you'd show up."

Dark Danny smiled evilly as he sarcastically said, "The world famous Danny Phantom coming to protect his home from his greatest enemy ever."

Danny glared at his evil future self as he clinched his fists and said, "I won't let you hurt anyone and I'll kick your butt to protect the people I care about."

Dark Danny folded his arms with an arrogant smile as he said, "How heroic. A shame it will all be in vain."

His army emerged from the giant Ghost Portal behind him; the Fright Knight came out on his horse leading his skeleton army. Walker's guards flew out with their weapons, while the ghost animals came out and roared ferociously. The Behemoth flew out and snarled threateningly while Nocturne emerged from the portal with an evil smile, and Young Blood's crew came out. Aragon flew out and roared ferociously while Tucker Phantom emerged with a sinister grin, Hotep Ra came out with an evil smile, and Lydia emerged with her hood over her head. The portal closed behind them as Danny stared at Dark Danny's army with him at the front with his arms still folded.

Dark Danny smiled arrogantly as he said, "Still think you'll be able to protect your world?"

Danny showed no fear as he defiantly said, "I know I'm not going down without a fight!"

Dark Danny laughed mockingly as he goaded, "You are so naïve! You think you can stop me all by yourself?!"

Danny smiled slyly as he said, "I didn't say by myself."

Right on cue, the Fenton Blimp landed behind him and Danny's friends and family immediately came out of it. Danielle flew out in her ghost form as her fists glowed green, Jack wore the Ghost Gauntlets, Maddie wore a Specter Deflector and held her glowing green bo staff, and Jazz wore the Fenton Peeler. Valerie floated in the air on her hoverboard, her dad held his high-tech rifle, Tucker had his scepter, and Sam held a large bazooka.

Tucker Phantom smiled arrogantly as he taunted, "Ha! Is that the best you can do?!"

Just then the rest of Danny's army showed up as he smiled proudly; all of the ghosts floated overhead while the humans arrived. K and O flew in with jetpacks as they held large weapons in their hands and all their hazmat agents stood beneath them. The White Knights were hovering above them as they targeted Dark Danny and his ghostly army, awaiting orders. The students from Casper High were armed with Fenton Rods as they bravely stood behind Danny's friends and family. Some of the ghosts flew down and landed by Danny, including Wulf, Cujo, Dorathea in her dragon form, and Frostbite's people.

Dark Danny was surprised but smiled evilly and said, "Good. I was afraid this would be too easy. Attack!"

Dark Danny's army charged forward while Danny pointed at them and yelled, "Go!"

Danny's army yelled in fury as they charged forward to attack; the two armies advance toward each other with their leaders at the front of them. The armies collided and began to fight while Danny floated in the air and battled Dark Danny with everything he had. Meanwhile Danielle floated over her parents and Jazz as they fought together against the ghost animals together. Danielle fired ghost rays from her hands that took out a few ghost birds while Jack beat up a ghost bear with his gauntlets, Maddie destroyed two ghost rabbits with her bo, and Jazz peeled a ghost moose apart with the Fenton Peeler. The Guys in White fought Walker's guards as they fired blue ecto-beams that knocked down a few of them. However, four of Walker's guards fired beams from their weapons that captured four hazmat agents in rings of green energy.

The White Knights closed in on Nocturne, who held his arms out and yelled, "Sleepwalkers form!"

A bunch of Sleepwalkers then formed at his sides and fought against the White Knights; the White Knights managed to destroy some of them but the Sleepwalkers proved difficult. Some of Danny's enemies were fighting the ghost skeletons as Skulker, Ember, Technus, and Spectra battled them fiercely. Skulker launched missiles and blew up a few, Ember strummed her guitar and sent a wave of energy that destroyed several, Technus fired rays that destroyed some, Spectra destroyed some with her bare hands. Overhead, Aragon flew and prepared to breathe fire on Danny's army, but Dorathea flew at him and grabbed him and wrestled him down to the ground. Young Blood was with the students of Casper High as they fought his crew; they shocked them with their rods while Young Blood fired red energy from his peg leg. Wulf fought a few ghost animals by himself as he slashed his claws at a ghost mountain lion, smashed his fists on a ghost eagle, and lifted a ghost bear and threw him away before howling loudly. Sam was by herself as she blasted two of Walker's guards with her bazooka, then Armand flew down and landed in front of her.

He smiled evilly as he reached for her and said, "Hello my dark queen."

Sam immediately blasted and hatefully said, "I may be dark, but I'm not YOUR queen!"

Armand angrily got up, then flew at her with his arms out as he let out a loud cry of rage and tried to slash his claws at her. Meanwhile, Damon Gray fired his rifle three times and shot blue beams of energy that destroyed three ghost skeletons, but more came at him. Valerie flew overhead and fired a purple ray from her hoverboard that destroyed all the ghost skeletons approaching her father. They both smiled and waved at each other when more ghost skeletons came toward Damon, but Cujo came up behind him and growled at them.

He attacked the ghost skeletons as Damon watched and said, "Good boy Cujo."

Valerie kept flying and noticed Tucker approached by Lydia as she floated in front of him and made her tattoos fly off her and attack him. Tucker swung the Scarab Scepter through the air and sent a blue wave of magical energy that knocked Lydia and her living tattoos away. He happily cheered for himself until Tucker Phantom and Hotep RA landed in front of him with evil smiles. Hotel RA smiled evilly as he reached for it when Valerie flew by and rammed Hotep RA with her hoverboard and flew away with him between the ends of her hoverboard.

She kept flying as she yelled, "Keep your bandages off my boyfriend!"

She shocked him with purple energy but he punched and knocked her down as her hoverboard vanished and she hit the ground. She got back up as Hotep RA stood in front of her, but she activated both her wrist cannons and prepared to fight.

Meanwhile Tucker Phantom glared at Tucker as he threateningly said, "There's only room for one Tucker around here, and that's me!"

Tucker aimed the Scarab Scepter at him and yelled, "I don't think so!"

He fired a blue magic ray of energy, but Tucker Phantom dodged it and flew at Tucker as he tried to smash him with his right fist, but Tucker dodged him. Meanwhile, Frostbite and his people were facing the Behemoth as he roared viciously and tried to smash them with all four of his fists. They scattered to avoid him and then fired blue rays and froze him in ice, but the Behemoth escaped as he shattered the ice and attacked again. Meanwhile Danny as fighting Dark Danny on his own as he fired a ghost ray at him but missed, then Dark Danny flew at him and punched him in the face. Danny cried in pain before Dark Danny duplicated himself and they all blasted him and sent him crashing to the ground.

The four Dark Dannys smiled evilly when the White Knights came and one said, "Oh please."

The four Dark Dannys destroyed all of the White Knights, then landed around him before merging into one as Dark Danny coldly said, "Nice try Danny, but even this won't be enough. Look around."

Danny glanced around and noticed it looked like his army was starting to lose to Dark Danny's army. Walker's guards were beginning to overpower the Guys in White and the Behemoth seemed to have the upper hand against Frostbite's people.

Danny immediately got back up and glared at Dark Danny as he said, "I'll never give up!"

He flew at Dark Danny and tried to hit him but Dark Danny swung his backfist and sent Danny flying away before crashing into a boulder. Dark Danny turned and saw Danielle fighting some ghost animals as she swiped her leg through the air and launched a wave of ecto-energy that knocked them away. Dark Danny smiled evilly while Jazz fired a green beam from the blaster on her right arm before she turned and noticed Dark Danny staring at Danielle, who didn't notice him.

Dark Danny fired a ghost ray at her, and Jazz started running as she yelled, "Danielle look out!"

Danielle turned and saw the ghost ray coming at her, but Jazz quickly pushed her out of the way, but the ray blasted Jazz instead and knocked her on her back as she cried in agony.

Danny saw the whole thing and yelled, "NO!"

Danielle was horrified as she yelled, "Jazz!"

Jack and Maddie ran to help her but were stopped by several ghost animals, and in a fit of rage Danny flew at Dark Danny, but Dark Danny knocked him away and started walking. Danielle hurried to Jazz and kneeled down over her as she pulled the helmet off of her and stared at her face on the verge of tears.

The peeler suit was damaged as Jazz opened her eyes as Danielle said, "Jazz! Why did you do that?!"

Jazz smiled as she caressed Danielles face with her left hand and lovingly said, "I'd do anything for you Danielle. No matter what happens I'll always love you. You're the little sister I always wanted. I couldn't ask for a better one. You're amazing."

She then passed out and Danielle cried, Dark Danny stood behind her and coldly said, "If I had any humanity I'd feel bad for you, but of I'm not human anymore."

Danielle stood up and turned around as she glared at him and demanded, "Stay away from her!"

Dark Danny laughed with a sick smile as he said, "That's cute Danielle but it's over."

Danielle clinched her fists as she defiantly said, "No! No! NOOO!"

She then let out a Ghostly Wail, which surprised Dark Danny as she sent him hurtling back and crashing into a huge boulder. She kept letting out her Ghostly Wail with all her power as she kept her eyes wide open before it became too much. She stopped and dropped to her knees just as Jack and Maddie came to her and Jazz for support.

Maddie held Danielle as she desperately asked, "Danielle! Are you okay?!"

She opened her eyes as she weakly said, "I can't go ghost."

Dark Danny floated over them and said, "You're stronger than I thought Dani, but it still won't help you."

He prepared to finish them when Danny flew behind him and tackled him away from his family and knocked him to the ground.

Danny floated over him and made two duplicates of himself as all three said, "Stay away from them!"

The three of them ganged up on Dark Danny but he swiped his leg through the air and sent out a wave of ecto-energy that knocked them away. The battle raged on as Danny's army valiantly fought against Dark Danny's despite the odds not being in their favor. Jack and Maddie protected their daughters as they were on the ground, Jazz still unconscious and Danielle unable to go ghost. Danny fought Dark Danny as hard as he could but Dark Danny seemed to have the upper hand as he inflicted more damage on Danny to where his costume was in tatters and he had scratches all over him. He put his hands together and threw a big ball of ecto-energy at Dark Danny, but he withstood it and then fired a ghost ray at Danny. He knocked Danny on his back and smiled evilly as he turned and noticed Sam defeating Armand as she blasted him with her bazooka.

She smiled victoriously as she said, "Ha! That's one way out of a bad date!"

Dark Danny came to her with an evil smile and said, "And one way into a worse one."

Sam frantically aimed her bazooka at him but Dark Danny knocked it out of her hand and said, "If I still had any of my past feelings for you I'd spare you, but I've outgrown that."

He prepared to kill her but Danny tackled him and knocked him away from Sam, they both slid on the ground and got back up in fighting stances.

Danny glared daggers and said, "Stay away from the girl I love!"

Dark Danny laughed mockingly and said, "You are so pathetic! Time to meet your doom!"

Dark Danny then emitted his Ghostly Wail, but at the same time Danny did the same thing; their Ghostly Wails collided which created a sonic shockwave of ghostly energy. The shockwave hurt both their armies and knocked them all down along with Danny and Dark Danny themselves as they fell on their backs. Everyone groaned as they struggled to get up; Nocturne created more Sleepwalkers but Frostbite and his people came and froze Nocturne and the Sleepwalkers in ice. Tucker groaned as he got up and was shocked to find Valerie lying on the ground as she groaned and got on her knees.

Tucker Phantom landed behind her with an evil smile as he said, "Hey Val, you don't look so good."

Tucker then held the scepter with his eyes glowing red as he yelled, "Get away from my girlfriend!"

He then used the scepter's magic to summon the giant sphynx that looked like Tucker and it growled threateningly down at Tucker Phantom who looked up at it in fear. He then flew away with the sphynx chasing him; Tucker and Damon came and helped Valerie up while the armies started fighting again. Sam started hurried over to Danny and helped him up as he groaned and they were joined by Frostbite, just as Dark Danny got back on his feet.

He stared at them with a vexed expression as he said, "Valiant effort, but it was all for nothing."

Frostbite stared at Dark Danny as he urgently said, "Great one, we must defeat him!"

Sam stared in fear as she asked, "But how?!"

Suddenly Clockwork appeared before them, and Danny perplexed, "Clockwork?!"

He smiled as he said, "It's time."

Frostbite seemed to understand as he handed Clockwork the Infi-Map; Clockwork held the map as it glowed blue in his hands and he used it to open a portal behind Dark Danny. Dark Danny was frightened as he looked at the portal and Danny used every ounce of strength to fly at Dark Danny and ram him as they both flew through the portal. The armies both stopped as they watched; Danny and Dark Danny were floating in a giant black void together before Danny turned around and flew back to the portal.

Dark Danny watched him and flew after him as he yelled, "What?! NOOO!"

Danny managed to make it through the portal just before it closed, trapping Dark Danny in the void as he yelled in fury.

Sam was amazed as she curiously said, "Where'd he go?"

Clockwork smiled as he honestly said, "We sent him somewhere he'll never hurt anyone or anything ever again, the end of time."

Everyone was amazed but Valerie looked at the army as she said, "But what about all the other ghosts?"

Tucker showed a serious expression as he held the scepter up with his eyes glowing red as he said, "I'll handle this! With the Scarab Scepter, I send all these ghosts back to the Ghost Zone, and return the Fright Knight to his prison and trap my evil self in a prison of his own!"

The Fright Knight was shocked as he cried, "No! NOOO!"

All of the ghosts vanished as they were transported back to the Ghost Zone and then only the humans were left as they watched in awe.

Danny's family came to him as they helped Jazz walk as she proudly said, "Way to go Danny."

Danny happily flew and hugged her as he said, "Jazz! You're okay!"

He pulled away from her as she smiled lovingly at Danielle as she said, "Yeah, thanks to my family, and my little sister."

Danielle was amazed as she happily said, "Danny, I have a Ghostly Wail like you!"

Danny chuckled happily as he said, "Yeah we noticed Danielle."

Jazz smiled proudly as she said, "I knew you were as great as him."

Danielle smiled lovingly as the Fentons pulled in for a group ug as Jack proudly said, "We're proud of you kids. You're Fentons through and through."

Danny smiled as he pulled away from them and said, "Thanks dad."

They were joined by Tucker, Sam, and Valerie as Tucker said, "It's over dude."

Sam happily held Danny as she said, "You did it Danny! You did it!"

Danny smiled lovingly at her before glancing at everyone else as he said, "We did it Sam. All of us."

Danny and Sam kissed passionately on the lips as their army happily cheered for their big victory together. The next day, a crowd was gathered at City Hall as Tucker wore his mayor outfit and addressed everyone with Danny, Sam, and Valerie standing at his sides.

Tucker unveiled a statue of Danny and some of his army as he proudly said, "As mayor of Amity Park I happily dedicate this statue to remind us all of the time Danny Phantom led us in our greatest moment to save our city and our world. He showed us that together we can overcome anything."

The crowd happily applauded and Valerie kissed Tucker on the cheek and said, "Great speech honey."

Danny's family was in the crowd as they applauded and Danielle looked at Jazz as she said, "Hey Jazz, shouldn't you be filling out more college applications?"

Jazz looked down at Danielle as she said, "About that. I've been meaning to tell you Danielle, I heard what you said to Danny about me going to college."

Danielle looked nervous as she said, "You did?"

Jazz smiled as she sincerely said, "Yeah and it got me thinking. I'm not going to miss out on your teen years just to study ghost hunting and psychology."

Danielle was surprised as she said, "So you're not going to college?"

Jazz smiled as she put her arm around Danielle and said, "No, I'm going to college, I'm just not going away to college. I've applied at Amity Park University. It's right here in town; it's not the most prestigious but it's good enough for me. I'm not going anywhere."

Danielle smiled as she hugged Jazz who hugged her back, and they both looked at Danny as he smiled proudly in his ghost form.

Some reporters gathered around Danny as one of them said, "Danny Phantom, you and your friends and family have managed to defeat the greatest ghost threat ever! What's next for you?"

Danny smiled as he glanced at everyone as he said, "Honestly I don't know. I know there will always be some kind of threat, but as long as I have the people I love beside me, I know I'll be ready for anything."

He then held Sam and flew away with her while the crowd happily cheered for them and they flew off into the sunset.

The End

Author's note: That's the end of my story. I feel this would be an epic way to end the series. I made some references to Avengers Infinity War and Endgame. Also, in case you're wondering, Danny would grow up to be the most famous hero on Earth, Danielle would grow up to be as great and powerful as him, and Danny would stay very close to his family. Danny would also one day marry Sam, and Tucker would marry Valerie. Please review.
