SZ: *falls down from the ceiling, dressed in a pale white ninja-garb*behold...shadow ghost ninja!...It's almost the month of spookiness and costumes, so I must dress for the occasion, especially for this chapter!

Z0: *ground begins to shake before splitting open as blue light shines from the newly made fissure in the ground* For thousands of years I lay dormant! Who has distrubed my…Oh it's just my friends, sup.

SZ: Oh not much. Just getting ready for Hallows eve...and preparing to revist yet another classic show for this story.

Z0: Neat...I need to repair the earth now...I tunneled a giant hole through the earth's crust.

SZ:...*looks at the readers just as the area began to shake*We own nothing aside from original content.

GT: *on the moon watching everything* Wow. ...So glad I left the planet. *sees it blow up* And there goes the studio.

"Why did I agree to this?" Tsubaki asked as she was jammed into the ProtoTruck with the others as Makoto somehow convinced Rook to let her drive this time. Which...was an issue for another day, but for now the issue was why she was taking them halfway across the country.

"Because you're needed to make sure we stay on track," Makoto replied before whispering, "Also could possibly find more teenage heroes for your little project."

"If you didn't use logic...I would not be allowing this…" she sighed.

"Heh heh…" Makoto smirked in victory as she leaned back into her seat. She then yelped as she was slapped across the back of her head with a paper fan, "Why~?"

"Sit up straight. Hands at 10 and 2," Tsubaki reminded.

"Mou…" Makoto pouted as she did so, "Killjoy…"

"Act your actual age…" Tsubaki sighed.

"So where are we going again?" Jenny asked as she poked her head up from her seat.

"Amity Park. It's supposed to have some primo stuff for Halloween," Ben replied.

"You're trying to scare us again, aren't you?" Tsubaki bluntly asked Makoto.

"What~? No ho…" Makoto laughed in response.

"You totally are, aren't you?" Mai deadpanned.

"Again with this, Makoto?" Noel sighed.

"She has tried to scare everyone before?" Rook asked.

"Honestly, the last time this happened, Makoto was the one who ended up frightened and Mai had impressions of Makoto's hands on her b…" Kajun began before Mai covered her mouth.

"Okay, moving on!" Mai demanded, her cheeks pink.

"So you've tried scaring your friends...but ended up scared yourself…" Ben spoke slowly, "You're a regular evil mastermind, aren't you…?"

"What? I like to joke around," Makoto argued, "...Just get surprised when it backfires on me at times is all…"

"Wow…"

"Oh what? Like a prank didn't backfire on you?" Makoto huffed.

"Yeah...when I was ten…" Ben smiled.

"D'oh…!"

"Well..hopefully we can have a nice and calm trip," Noel spoke...unaware that she might have possibly jinxed it.

"WOAH!" a figure screamed as they crashed...er phased through the wall, adjusting themselves midair as they skidded to a halt within the walls of a warehouse, "Seriously, Skulker? You pick now of all times to try and attack me?"

"Originally no, but…" a voice began as the wall suddenly exploded in green energy, an armored figure being seen within the dust cloud as they smirked, "Hunting you down will be a nice bonus."

"Oh that's just original…." he snarked with heavy sarcasm as they dodged a laser blast, "So what 'toy' do ya have ready for me this time? Ghost attack dog? Ecto-capture ball?"

"Tempting, but…" the armored figure began before a pair of missile pods appeared on their shoulders, "I prefer a little chase."

"Missiles? Really dude?" the first figure snarked as missiles were fired right at him, the figure becoming intangible as the missiles phased through him, "Nice try, b-"

"Look behind you."

"?" the figure raised a brow before looking over their shoulder, tensing as the missles headed straight towards him, "Oh shoot!"

"Chaser missiles; designed to hunt down any target, even if they become intangible," the armored figure smirked as the first figure flew up into the air to try and avoid the missiles, "You'll have to change back sometime, boy. And when you do, I'll be there to capture you."

"I hate when they somehow have something clever…" he groaned, flying away from the missiles before whispering to himself, "Okay think Danny...how can I get these off my back? They chase you specifically...somehow...how...it's times like this I'm glad I have a tech wiz best friend." he took out a cellphone as he flew back down and around in a circle to keep the missiles at a consistent space behind him, "Come on pick up...what can you be doing in the middle of the afternoon...I'm your best friend. This is literally the highlight of your day man…"

=Yo what's up man?=

"Oh thank god...Tuck, I'm dealing with Skulker and he has these new missiles designed to chase me. Any ideas on how I can get rid of them?"

=Hmm...Oh I know! Remember that web show we found last week?=

"You mean the one based on that old anime? Yeah wh...oh I get it. Thanks man."

=It's what I do~= he laughed =Now if you'll excuse me...I need to go to your place, get you the thermos you forgot to carry around and bring it to ya before you let Skulker get away...again=

"Do it once and you never let it live you down…" the figure muttered, putting his phone away before flying at the armored figure, the missiles hot on his tail.

"Really? This old tactic?You do realize I'm too smart to fall for…" the armored figure began before the first figure fired off green energy blast at the ground before him, "What?!" he grunted, shielding themselves from the resulting dustcloud as the figure flew behind him, the armored one looking up just as the dust cloud died down...and saw the missiles heading towards him, "...Clever boy…"

*BOOM!*

"I got it! I got it!" he called out as he caught Skulker's literal head, "This is still so weird…" he muttered as a tiny little green figure kicked its legs around in an attempt to get out of the head...which was more or less just a miniature cockpit.

"D'oh…! When I get a new body boy, you are gonna regret messing with the Ghost Zone's greatest hunter!" the green figure snapped as they tried to get out.

"Yeah yeah. That's what you always say after every time I kick your butt," the first figure rolled their eyes as they stepped out of the hole, letting the sunlight reveal who they were.

The figure was a teenager with snow-white short hair, their green eyes giving a light glow as they looked down at the little green figure. He wore a black jumpsuit with the gloves, boots, and collar a white-color with a stylized 'D' on the chest area. This was the hero of Amity Park and enemy of rogue ghost of the Ghost Zone; Danny Phantom.

"Phew...and here I was hoping for a normal Saturday…" Danny sighed as they leaned against the wall, "Well least now I can relax and help get things ready for Halloween...once I get Skulker back in the Ghost Zone...speaking of..." he picked up the small green figure just as they attempted to jump out of the cockpit, "What were you even doing before deciding to attack me? Are you someone's errand boy now?"

"Silence! Like I would tell you!"

"Yeah you're right. You probably don't even know anything useful anyway...like a typical goon." Danny taunted, dropping him back into the head as he closed one eye while watching him with the open one, waiting for him to crack due to the jab at his pride.

"Goon?! I am no goon!"

"Dude. You admitted you weren't originally gonna try and attack me earlier. Pretty sure that sounds like something a goon would say."

"SILENCE!"

"What? You gonna go 'fear me~!' next?" he went on, "Told ya, you don't know anything~" he taunted further in a sing-song tone.

"GRRR!"

"Well if you're gonna act like that…" Danny began as he held his free hand out, catching a thermos that was tossed to him before opening it, "I think some time in 'the hole' would do you some good."

"No no! Don't you d-!" the small figure began before he was suddenly sucked into it, "You'll regret this!"

"Yeah yeah…" Danny rolled his eyes as he closed the thermos, "Nice timing, Tuck," he looked over at an african-american teenager in glasses and a red-cap as they approached him, "Though what took ya so long in answering my call?"

"Dude, it's Saturday. I was busy." he countered, "You know how hard it is to get time to have Tucker time with all the shenanigans in our lives? I need 'me time'man."

"Hey I needed seem me time too. Not my fault Skulker decided to attack me out of nowhere," Danny argued.

"That's practically every bad guy you go against," Tuck countered.

"Look. Let's go meet with Sam and we c-" Danny began before he noticed something flying over head, "?"

"...something up?"

"...I think Skulker hit me harder than I thought, because I just saw a flying truck fly by."

"...Flying truck?" Tuck repeated with a raised a brow. He looked up to see nothing, "Man you need a vacation…"

"...Maybe I do…" Danny admitted as his appearance changed, his hair becoming black while his outfit became a white and red shirt, blue jeans, and a pair of white shoes as the two walked off.

"Okay. Just to make sure everything is clear…" Tsubaki began as she looked at a list, "One group will focus on getting the costumes for the costume party and supplies needed for the haunted house portion of said mentioned party, and the other to focus on the supplies for the party."

"Who goes where?" Ben asked.

"I shall stay in the truck. I don't think I wish to experience shopping in human stores with Makoto again...not after last time." Rook spoke.

"Oh it wasn't that bad," Makoto argued.

"We are banned from 50 different locations in the state…" Rook argued.

"...Mai, you go with Ben and Makoto for the haunted house and costumes," Tsubaki sighed, "I'll tak Noel and Kajun for the party supplies."

"Wh-why me?!" Mai gawked.

"Because I need someone to keep an eye on those two to make sure we don't get banned from anymore stores."

"...Okay, fair point."

"Why those...Okay. No. Answered it before I finished it…" Ben sighed.

"Dang it…" Makoto pouted.

"What can I do?" Jenny asked.

"Mayhapes stay with Mai and her group for now," Kajun suggested before pulling out a teal bracelet with a heart-shaped jewel on the center trimmed in cyan, "Plus it'll give you time to test this out."

"Hmm?" Jenny blinked as Kajun handed it to her, "What is it?"

"Put it on and press the 'jewel' on it."

Jenny blinked at that before she put the bracelet on and pressed the small 'jewel' on it. A quick flash went off as her appearance changed into that of a human girl in a blue blouse and skirt, almost similar to her regular outfit. Her hair was still the light blue/teal, but not made of metal.

"?! I...I'm human?!"

"Oh no. I just reverse engineered the DNA Mask and its prototype to make something for you. A bit of hard-light technology to mask how you look, though you won't be able to eat or drink anything that isn't edible for robots," Kajun replied, "Just simply tap the 'jewel' again, and you'll change back to normal. Think of this as...your secret identity before going into battle."

"..." Jenny quickly hugged her, "Oh, you are just the bee's knees, Kajun!"

"I'm glad you enjoy it," Kajun smiled as she returned the hug, "Now go on. I believe you and Mai's group have some task to complete."

"Can do!" Jenny beamed, releasing the hug as she ran over to Mai, Ben, and Makoto just as they were leaving.

"...That was really sweet of you to do that, Kajun," Noel spoke as she looked at the female scientist of the group.

"At least this will provide some nice data on her adjusting to the modern time we're in," Kajun noted to herself, a tablet in hand and typing away on it.

"I think she might be too busy to hear…" Tsubaki sweatdropped, "...Kajun, why don't you stay here with Rook? We'll contact you if anything comes up."

"...Very well then."

"Ah, that is good," Rook noted.

"Seriously? You still haven't found a costume?" Danny raised a brow as he and Tucker were in a costume store of sorts.

"What? Halloween is coming up and I need to pick out something perfect," Tucker argued, "Besides, what do ya think I was doing when ya called?"

"Geeking over the articles on that new 'WeU' console that's coming out in November," Danny replied, "Either that or playing Black 2 or White 2."

"First, it's pronounced 'Wii U,' not 'We' and 'U,'" Tucker replied, "Second, I need to find the perfect costume that makes me look cool for the ladies. People are coming in from out of town, so you know some cute girls are bound to show up."

"Please tell me you don't have anymore Foley by Tucker Foley with you," Danny deadpanned.

"...m-" Tucker began before the doors open.

"Holy...look at all these costumes!" Makoto's voice awed.

"No kidding. Not even Tremorton had this many costumes available back in Halloween," Jenny's voice noted, "Jumpin' jiminy, I don't even know anything here."

"Let's try and not take too long," Mai's voice suggested, "Ben left to go check for a Mr. Smoothy's, so let's try and not keep him waiting."

"A what?" Danny whispered.

"New smoothie place. Will make any flavor combination that's on their menu with the price depending on the size of the cup and the amount of flavors," Tucker explained, "And sounds like some girls are here from out of town."

"Sounds like it...and this Ben guy is probably the boyfriend to one of them."

"Not my...sorry force of habit," Makoto's voice whispered.

"With good hearing apparently," Danny continued.

"...Please let them be cute…" Tucker quietly whispered to himself as he looked from behind the clothes racket he and Danny were behind...and soon pulled back after getting a good look at the three, "Please let one of them be single…!"

Danny rolled his eyes, "Just don't spray that stuff, Tucker. Last time you worked on it, you smelled like moldy bread and dad's unwashed jumpsuits."

"Hopefully with any luck, I won't need it," Tucker smirked, fixing the collar of his shirt a bit before walking off.

"...Sam, be ready," Danny called out to someone behind a nearby clothes racket.

"Tucker trying to hit on another girl?" a female voice asked from behind it.

"Three of 'em...from out of town."

"Oh this should be good…" the voice deadpanned.

"Ooh! This looks cute," Makoto noted, pulling out a white and light-blue dress with a pair of matching colored squirrel ears, "I can dye my tail to go with this and I can be a Pachirisu gal."

"I'm surprised you didn't go with something more...revealing," Mai admitted.

"Pretty sure if I did, Tsubaki would smack me with something harder than a paper fan..like a wooden sandal or a hammer that goes 'piko' when you get bopped by it," Makoto stated.

"...Okay good point," Mai muttered before looking at Jenny, who was looking at her own clothing and the outfits, "...Something up?"

"Well…" Jenny rubbed her arm sheepishly, "It's just…."

"...Oh I get it…" Makoto realized before whispering to her, "This is your first time buying actual clothing, isn't it?"

"...Even if it's a costume...yeah…" Jenny admitted with a whisper, "Plus...well, I'm not sure if I can change my outfit given...well…"

"I…" Mai began before she got a text on her phone, "Hmm?" she blinked as she pulled her phone out.

=It won't affect her normal appearance, so she can change her outfit and wear whatever she wants. Kajun=

"..." Mai quickly typed =You put a camera in her bracelet, didn't you? Mai=

=I am ashamed you assume that of me. Kajun=

=(raised brow of disbelief) Mai=

=...I may have looked through your Plumbers Badge for a quick check up on Jennifer… Kajin=

=Of course. Mai= Mai typed before speaking, "Kajun says you're good for changing clothes, Jenny."

"Great! ...Um, can you tell me about some of these, though?" Jenny asked as she held up a hockey mask and machete, "Like why a hockey mask and a plastic machete is a costume?"

"Ah ah hah...that…yeah…" Makoto nervously chuckled, lightly picking the hockey mask and machete out of her hands before gently putting them back, "Afraid if we told you, you'd get nightmares after watching the movies that costume is based on…"

Jenny raised a brow at that, "Okay…" she held up another mask, "And this one?"

"That's Michael Myers," Mai noted, "That film series is, well...confusing. It keeps retconning."

"Ret...conning?" Jenny repeated.

"Overwriting old material to make it more interesting meo or less," Makoto explained...while taking the mask from her, "And how's about we find you something less…horror-movie themed...okay?"

"You just don't want to be spooked by her wearing something like Edward Scissorhands or Pennywise the Dancing Clown," Mai deadpanned.

"How are clowns scary?" Jenny asked, scratching her head in confusion.

"Unless you watch 'IT' or read the Batman comics by DC, you'll see why," Makoto quickly replied.

"...uh...noted," Jenny muttered in confusion.

"...Maybe we sh-" Mai began.

"Hello ladies…" the three looked over to see Tucker looking at them, a confident smirk on his face as he leaned against a clothes racket, "Mind if I help you three out?" he nearly lost his composure when the hangers holding some of the outfits moved, making him almost trip before quickly recovering.

"I guess even the workers here wear costumes as uniforms," Jenny noted, "Jumpin' jiminy, stores have gotten strange."

"Ahh...a fan of the classic 1920's style of speech, eh?" Tucker noted with a grin, "Well ain't that just the bee's knees."

"Oh? You sp-"

"Hey, Jen. How about this if it's not too on the nose?" Makoto spoke as she pulled out a female armored robot costume, "Might modify it a bit, but it's the Nobel Gundam from G Gundam...actually come to think of it, I've heard there's a new Gundam series coming out next year based on customizing."

"Gundam?"Jenny repeated.

"Wait...You know about Gundam?" Tucker asked as he looked at Makoto.

"Uh duh! Only one of the best mecha shows out there, especially G Gundam!"

"...Excuse me," Tucker said as he turned around and looked up at the ceiling while putting his hands together, "Thank you god…."

"...Uh it does seem nice," Jenny spoke as she looked at the costume, "Though it seems a bit more like a school-girl honestly…hmm...oh!" she grabbed one of the hanging costumes, "You think Noel would like this Eevee one?"

"Probably," Makoto replied with a shrug, "Let's keep searching to see what we can find."

"Good idea," Mai nodded.

"...But what about him?" Jenny asked, motioning to Tucker as he was muttering something.

"Eh. He seems busy with something," Makoto shrugged.

"Okay, Tuck...play it cool," Tucker whispered to himself, unaware of the girls walking away, "Not everyday you meet a bunch of cute girls, one being a fan of mecha-anime. Just play it cool," he turned around, "Just play it co-and they're gone."

"Wow. He didn't get slapped this time," Danny noted.

"Or get verbally abused," a girl with her short raven hair pulled into a small ponytail added, sporting a web-themed black skirt, purple leggings, black combat boots, and a black tee with a purple dot on the chest.

"True, Sam. Very true," Danny agreed.

"So close…" Tucker groaned, hanging his head before shaking his head, "No way...I ain't giving up. Next time I see those girls, I'll be ready."

"Always a trooper, that one," Sam deadpanned, rolling her eyes.

"Agreed," Danny added.

"Come on... Where is it…?" Ben muttered as he looked around the area, "There has to be a Mr. Smoothy's here…Ugh. I knew I should've studied a map of the town before we got here, but oh no. Makoto wanted to get to this place as fast as possible...I should've asked Tsubaki or Kajun to print a map of this place." he groaned, "I bet I could find it from the air…" he muttered looking down at the Omnitrix, "Eh I'm sure one quick change won't hurt. But who to change too...Big chill. Out of sight...out of mind," he smirked, selecting said alien before pressing down on the symbol.

"Brr~!" Danny shivered, a light wisp of air escaping his mouth, "That's...new..and cold."

"Oh no…" Tucker sighed, "No...No...that's not fair...two in one day?"

"Must be a new one," Sam guessed as she looked at a lightly shivering Danny.

"Maybe...you two stay here. I'll contact ya if something comes up," Danny stated, looking around as he quickly rushed out of the stare.

"Hmm..what about this one?" Mai suggested, she and her friends on the other side of ths store as she held up a costume.

"Oh that's…" Jenny began.

"Uh girls?" Makoto spoke, earning Mai and Jenny's attention, "I think something's come up…"

"...of course…" Mai sighed.

Outside the store, Danny quickly rushed into a nearby ally, taking a quick look around as he leaned against the wall.

"Okay..no one in sight…" Danny whispered before declaring, "I'm goin' Ghost!"

With that a flash of light formed from the center of his body as it formed a ring around him. The ring split into two as they went up and down, as they did it seemed to cover him in his black suit from before. Once the ring reached his head, his hair turned white and his eyes flashed green. He then crouched down before taking off into the air, leavign a small dust cloud in his wake.

"Ahh...there we go," Big chill sighed in content, sipping his smoothie as he floated in the air, "Huh...Pumpkin spice has a bit of a kick to it...not bad." he mused taking another sip, "I'd question why the clerk didn't flinch at Big Chill...but this is so good, I don't even care. May eve-"

"*whistles!* Hey!"

"...ah geez…" Big Chill groaned as he turned, seeing what looked like a white-haired teen in a jumpsuit flying towards him, "...uh, can I help you?"

"Yeah. You can help me by...uh…" Danny began, looking at big Chill in confusion, "...What kind of ghost are you? Someone in a Mothra costume that ended up passing in a paint factory, or a moth that got caught in the snowstorm?"

"Ghost?" he blinked, "I might look like a ghost to you buddy, but I'm not dead…" he countered taking another sip, "I'm just here for a drink, so...wait. What are you supposed to be anyway? And what's the deal with no way to hide your face...oh wait. Do you do the whole 'no secret Identity' thing...Bold. I respect that."

"...Okay first off. I do have a secret identity and choose to hide it," Danny countered.

"So you also shapeshift?" he asked, taking another sip despite it sounding like he had already run out.

"...somewhat, b-" Danny began before shaking his head, "What am I even doing? I'm having a conversation with some weird moth ghost."

"I'm not a ghost…" Big Chill spoke up again as he floated back up with another smoothie, "I'm actually an alien...though given your thick skull, you're going to not buy it in 3...2..1…" he pointed at Danny.

"Alien? Okay...ghost I believe, but aliens? Yeah..not buying it," Danny shook his head before he pulled the thermos out, "And since you're being so casual, might as well escort you back to the Ghost Zone with no trouble."

"Don't know what that is...but I keep telling you I'm not a ghost." he replied, taking another sip of a third Smoothie he somehow got his clawed hands on.

"Yeah well tell it to the thermos," Danny counted, opening it as he aimed it at him...only..nothing happened, "...huh?"

"What? Run out of soup?" Big Chill quipped as he held up a 4th Smoothie, "Want one…? Benefits of ice powers...they never melt."

"...hold on…" Danny muttered as he shook the thermos a bit, "What's up with this? Normally it works on ghost…"

"Again..not a…" Big Chill began before a crash was heard, "...so much for a relaxing trip."

"Huh?" Danny blinked.

"Let's put a pin in this whole 'I'm not a ghost chat'...I got work to do, people to save and a life to get back to." Big chill spoke as he turned away and flew off, "Huh. Ghosts exist...I'd be shocked but...Ghostfreak…" he rambled to himself.

"What...hey...hey! I'm not finished with ya!" Danny argued as he flew after him.

"Feels pretty finished to me buddy." he quipped back.

"...I've heard about a Zombozo in lock up, but…" Tsubaki whispered, hiding behind a corner with a shivering Noel as Zombozo had a group of people tied up, "Did not imagine him to be this…"

"C...c...creepy...z...zombie…." Noel shivered in fright, her guns rattling a bit in her hands.

"Oh now is not the time Noel…" Tsubaki sighed.

"Well you are a wonderful audience folks, your tips are taken with respect." Zombozo bowed, "Now...onto other matters." he chuckled. "If someone can direct me to the nearest haunted castle, I…"

"Freeze!" Tsubaki shouted as she moved out of the corner, her word and shield out as Noel nervously poked out, "Don't move."

"Ah...I've heard of you two. You're part of Ben's little entourage," Zombozo noted as he pulled out a gift box, "Here. For you lovely ladies…" he smirked as he lightly tossed the box at them.

Tsubaki and Noel tensed as the box landed in front of them, giving a light ticking sound as the two braced for it to suddenly explode. After a few moments...no explosion came, making the two sigh in relief.

"Honestly th-" Tsubaki began before the box opened, revealing a stuffed...patched up zombie panda, "?!"

"AH!" both girls cried in shock, jumping back in fear, Tsubaki especially as she immediately got into a defensive stance.

"Ahahahaha!" Zombozo laughed, kicking his legs before the box was frozen over, "Oh no…"

"Oh...yes…" Big Chill smirked floating down, "I almost had a gut feeling it be you…" he smirked letting his wings wrap around him, "Well now I get to enjoy this trip a little more." he spoke finish the smoothie still in his hand, "So what're you doing here, Zombozo?"

"Do you really care or are you just making small talk?" Zombozo countered.

"Eh not really. But I need my daily fill of stupidity to make me laugh." Big chill countered, "What...another brain heist...or have you downgraded to kidneys? Oh no wait...your here to steal a rare Clown painting that looks almost like you...but handsomer!" he went on, "No no...something more stupid like 'Steal an entire haunted castle!'"

"Tempting on all of those, and partially true on that last one," Zombozo countered with a smirk, "Ever hear of the Ghost Zone?"

"Recently…" he muttered, "Oh...I probably should not have ditched the floating kid who looked like a skinny Ragna in all black…"

"Beg pardon?" Zombozo raised a brow before Danny landed behind him.

"Okay! You have to…" Danny began as he pointed at Big Chill...before taking notice of Zombozo, "Gh?!"

"Boo!" he laughed, making him stumble back, "Not exactly braveheart is he…"

"I bet literal Zombie clowns are new to him." Big Chill argued, "His Dead guys don't have rotting corporeal bodies."

"It's a fine musk thank you." Zombozo countered.

"Yeah, yeah whatever, now can we get to the kicking of your butt, and putting you back in jail now?" Big Chill spoke, opening his wings as he coated his hands in ice formed into spiked maces.

"...Charming, but you may want to help your two lady friends over there," Zombozo smirked.

"Huh?" Big Chill blinked before looking over at Tsubaki and Noel...the former shaking as she nervously aimed at the panda doll.

"K...K...keep away you vile hellspawn of black and white…" Tsubaki whispered.

"Seriously…" Big chill spoke, looking at them, "Ugh…" he groaned, unfreezing his hands as he slapped the Omnitrix getting Danny's attention, "It's times like this...your lucky I kinda like turning into Ditto!" said tiny alien spoke as he multiplied several fold, a battalion of them carrying the box away while another small team carried the girls off, leaving a good dozen left to face Zombozo.

"...how'd you do that?" Danny asked before shaking his head, "Nevermind. I can tell this guy is bad news, s-"

"Oh I would not recommend touching or his box," Zombozo spoke with a chuckle, "He doesn't like his bubble invaded."

"Mr. Wuggles? Who names…" one Ditto began before the box began to shake violently, "...oh that can't be good...hey four, mind looking inside?"

"Oh no...not me! Not after last time!"

"I know...let's just toss this thing in that convenient wood chipper…" one of the Ditto's spoke in a lazy tone.

"We might need a big one then," one ditto pointed out.

"Huh? Wh-" one Ditto began before the box suddenly exploded, the zombie panda doll now as big as a regular bear...razor sharp claws and teeth included, "Nevermind!"

"That is definitely nightmare fuel!"

"Why thank you! My finest work yet!" Zombozo laughed as he ran off, "Toodles~!"

"...yeah I don't think so," Danny frowned as he flew after him, "You take care of the panda! I got this guy!"

"Oh sure! Leave us with this thing!" one of the Dittos complained before they were all sent flying from a swipe from Mr. Wuggles.

"And here the girls are totally useless...which is something I never thought I'd say because they are so productive and helpful!" another Ditto complained.

"Tsubaki! Noel! Snap out of it!" one Ditto panicked as he jumped up and slapped them both across the face as hard as he could.

"'Scuse me…" one Ditto spoke taking Tsubaki's badge from her pocket, "Hey Makoto...yeah we need help...Zombozo...yeah again...no...this time he brought a...and I kid you not, Zombie Panda bear of horror...yeah its named Mr. Wuggles...well Tsubaki and Noel are kinda not helpful right now!"

"Wait really?!" Makoto asked with a mischievous smirk that promised teasing later, "Ah... Well, I'd love to help but a crowd of scared folks is making that kinda hard."

=D'oh!=

"Just turn into something bigger."

=So...just throw caution to the wind and Step on it at Way Big!=

"Huh!? No wait...you can't use that unless I'm there to see it and geek out! Ben! No...don't you dare! Mou…"

=Sorry the person your trying to complain to has thrown caution to the wind and is doing something stupid! Please leave a message after the Hero time. HERO TIME!=

"Oh you cheeky jerk…" Makoto growled.

"Grimlock...Aw man~ Grimlock never get what Grimlock want..." Grimlock groaned as Mr Wuggles kept punching his metal body to little effect, "Hey Wuggles...wanna see a trick?" he asked as he punched both hands into the ground letting them transform into legs as his body folded and moved up slightly as his T-Rex head folded forward and completed itself as he became his Tyrannosaurus Alternate mode, Gimlock lowered his head and roared sending the monster falling on its rear as Grimlock stood over it, "BURN!" he roared unleashing jets of fire, engulfing it in fire as the bear roared.

"...I heard the phrase 'kill it with fire', but not taken literally," Danny whispered, noticing the fight real quick before ducking under a water balloon, "...really? Water ba-" he heard a hissing noise, making him turn to see the water...was really acid as it ate away at a shelf of items, "?!"

"Come on Junior first time facing a super villain?" Zombozo taunted as he jumped away gaining more distance, "I might be undead but I'm not about to let some new kid take me in." he laughed pulling out a cannon from...god knows where as he pulled a string and it fired a pie which exploded as soon as it hit something.

"Gah! Uh no. Used to fighting villains and evil ghost...just not zombie clowns!" Danny argued, quickly ducking under another fired pie as he fired a blast of green energy from his hands.

Zombozo jumped back as the blast hit his cannon making it explode. Zombozo pulled a rubber chicken from his sleeves which he began swinging around like a pair of nunchucks. Danny stopped for a moment to question the sanity of this guy, but this was a mistake as Zombozo tossed it as it stiffened in the air and stabbed into the ground next to Danny like a spear.

"Whoa!" he jumped, "This is getting crazy…" he muttered.

"Come on boy! I'm not here on vacation to mess around you know," Zombozo taunted as he stabbed at him again, only to miss as Danny jumped back, "...oh who am I kidding? Of course I am!"

"Dude you are nuts!"

"I'm a zombie clown...what did you expect?" Zombozo argued making him blink, "You...really aren't used to Super villains are ya kid...always expecting an excuse like that ain't realistic...some of us just love this bit!"

"You know you're kinda right…" Danny muttered, letting the next swing of Zombozo's rubber chicken go right through his intangible body, "And I keep forgetting...I'm a ghost." he smirked forming an energy sphere in his hands.

"Now this is why I don't like kids…" Zombozo spoke as he was blasted and sent flying into a shelf, knocking the items on it off and piled on top of him.

"And again dude...you are nuts," Danny simply countered, "Now to send you back to...uh…" he looked over at Grimlock..who was now stomping on the ashes that used to be Mr. Wuggles, "What do we do about this guy?"

"Call police…" Grimlock explained as he wiped his feet on someone's car, "Crazy Zombie Clown? Yes! Still human...sadly still yes."

"Pretty sure they'd freak out if they see he's a zombie!" Danny argued, 'And this is from someone who fights ghosts for a living..'

"Isn't ghost boy also ghost? So...also dead?" Grimlock argued giving Danny a look that read 'As if you should talk' on his Tyrannosaurs face.

"It's...complicated," Danny sighed.

"Oh...Grimlock know complicated...this no complicated...this just regular Saturday...maybe also a Tuesday...but that regardless." he spoke walking over and...chomping and what Danny assumed was Eating the pile that held Zombozo, however after a moment he spit up a steaming ball of molten material that kept him trapped within.

"Ugh...again with the Dinosaur spitball Ben...really now? This is as Cliche as the time you webbed me up in a giant spider web with the words 'Doofus' written in the web and pointed at me…" Zombozo groaned.

"This coming…" Grimlock began before he timed out, changing back into Ben, "This coming from the guy who thinks the 'IT' movies are funny."

"They are comedy gold I'm telling you...that writer is ahead of his comedic time!" Zombozo laughed.

"Whatever you say, discount Pennywise…" Ben groaned before he kicked the ball over tilting it upside down.

"How…" Danny blinked realizing that all the monsters just turned into a guy who looked about the same age as him.

"Told ya...Aliens." Ben smiled, "Hey...Tsubaki...Noel...you can calm down now...its gone...like goner then gone!"

"...Are you sure?" Tsubaki asked once she poked her head out of a corner.

"That answer your question?" Ben said as he pointed at the ash pile, "Want me to turn back into Grimlock...pretty sure I could do a Dinosaur scale jig on the ashes to prove a point."

"No no. Y-you're good," Noel spoke as she poked out next.

"Good. Y-" Ben began before Tsubaki walked past him and began to stomp on the ashes.

"Die! Die you horrid abomination of furry evil!" Tsubaki snapped.

"I can't explain that…" Ben turned to Danny, "Believe it or not, she's the sensible one on my team."

"She really doesn't like pandas…" Noel added, "Like...Really doesn't like them…"

"...I can tell," Danny muttered, looking at Tsubaki now practically jumping on the ashes to 'further kill' what they used to be.

"Okay that's enough…" Ben sighed as he walked over and picked Tsubaki up by her waist and dragged her away, "Your making a scene and that's normally my job!"

"Ah...r...right...right...sorry…" Tsubaki whispered as she panted heavily, "Just...did not expect him to do that."

"Well that makes two of us." Ben chuckled.

"...I think I might've jinxed it before we arrived here…" Noel whispered to herself as she followed the two.

"...Wait. Guy that changes into aliens...where have I heard that before?" Danny pondered before his phone rang, prompting him to answer, "Yo."

=You catch the ghost yet?= Tucker asked.

"Well...kinda…only he's not a ghost..." Danny replied, 'He's more of a zombie clown...thing."

=...I'm sorry...zombie clown?= Sam repeated.

"Yep….Zombie Clown."

=Cool=

"Sam…"

=I'm sorry but you mean zombie zombie…= Tucker spoke up.

"I don't bite people...I'm not that sick!" Zombozo muffeldly shouted, his face in the floor due to the position of the ball.

"That's not the weirdest thing that happened," Danny added, choosing to ignore Zombozo right now, "That feeling I had earlier? Well I found the source, but...what was odd that it felt like a ghost, but it wasn't."

=Huh?=

"Then when I caught up to him while he was fighting said mentioned zombie clown, he change into this small guy who split into multiple copies of himself, then he changed into this transforming robot that changes into a T-Rex."

=...Danny are you….= Sam began in concern.

=Did they all have some weird symbol on their chest?= Tucker instantly asked.

"Not weird, it's a badge for space cops." Ben spoke up, poking his head back in real quick.

"He has sharp ears for these things…" Noel explained, poking in with him.

=...Badge for sp…= Tucker began before it dawned on him =...dude, do you know who that was?!=

"Should I?"

=I told you he wasn't smart…= Sam spoke up.

"Hey…"

=Where are you man?!= Tucker demanded.

"Party store, but what d-"

=He already left…= Sam sighed.

"Wait left...why did he...oh geez!" he panicked as Tucker ran in with a huff.

"Where...where is he?" he panted, putting his hand on his Superhero best friend to support himself.

"I...think he already left." Danny pointed.

"Ah man…" he groaned, "Dude, don't you know anything...that was a Real Superhero!"

"Hey...I'm a superhero…" Danny argued.

"Yeah but he's globally famous!" Tucker argued, "He does the whole cool no secret identity celebrity thing...you won't even tell the town just to get some popularity…" he looked at the door, "He went that way...I can smell the popularity…" he spoke running off after him, "Wait...Ben 10!"

"...He calls himself 'Ben 10'?" Danny raised a brow as he ran after him.

"Danny Phantom…" Sam argued appearing next.

"Oh geez!" he jumped in shock, "Don't do that!...Wait. What's wrong with...oh don't start that with me."

"Just saying...your still using the same name…" Sam shrugged, "So do you really have room to talk about his hero name?"

"...Okay fair point."

"Okay…" Rook began with a sigh, the others having regrouped with him and Kajun, "Who did the jinxing this time?... Ben? Makoto?"

"She/He did it." both pointed at one another in pure reflex.

"A...actually...I think it was me," Noel spoke, meekly raising a hand.

"She/He did it." Makoto and Ben blamed one another out of desire to defend their meek friend.

"I had a feeling this wouldn't be a normal trip…" Mai sighed.

"I think this IS normal for us." Makoto argued.

"Meh...same old same old…" Ben shrugged, "Oh, and found out that ghosts are real and a thing her."

"Hmm?" Kajun raised a brow, looking up from her tablet for a moment.

"I'm sorry…?" Tsubaki asked.

"Wha…." Noel gasped out slowly.

"Wait Ghosts are real!?" Makoto shouted, already behind Mai.

"Yeah..." Ben nodded, "This town has a ghost superhero. I mean he has to be. He claims he deals with a place called the Ghost Zone...and Ghostfreak was kinda a ghost so...I believe it."

'Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!' Mai mentally begged, Makoto's hands already on her chest as she shook.

"I mean from how he acted, ghosts are probably more annoying to him by now. So I figure he's got this whole ghost superhero thing down." Ben went on, as he fiddled with the Omnitrix for a bit, "Also weird thing...the Omnitrix has been acting funny since I met him. I can only dial up the more scary aliens for some reason."

"I got her…" Jenny sighed as she took Mai's place as Makoto's fear hug-pillow.

"...Hmm...maybe w-"

"BEN 10!" a voice screamed excitedly.

"Tuck, calm down before ya cause a scene...again!"

"You're asking for a Miracle…"

"Sam, you are not helping!"

"That's kinda the point."

"I can smell celebrity…" Tucker spoke as he skidded over from a corner in the street, rapidly looking around before noticing Ben and his group, "?!"

"These are not the heroes you're looking for…" Makoto attempted as she held her hand up and waved to the side slightly.

"...Really Makoto?" Ben deadpanned, "Jedi mind trick?"

"What?"

"...Wait. Wasn't he at the costume store?" Mai asked upon seeing him.

"Ah….." Tucker gasped.

"Was he?" Makoto blinked.

"Oh, did we forget to pay for something or did we forget something and he came to tell us we did?" Noel pondered.

"Ugh...Seriously Tucker, you should try out for Track when you're motivated like this…" Danny panted as he and Sam caught up to him, "...Tuck. …Tuck?"

"I think he broke…" Sam noted, waving a hand in front of Tucker's face.

"I think that your friend is...unconscious," Rook spoke, making Danny and Sam jump and turn to him.

"...Let me guess…alien?" Danny cautiously asked.

"That is correct."

"Not what I was expecting. Too fluffy," Sam muttered in disappointment.

"I was under the impression people liked this...Fluffiness." Rook spoke.

"It depends on who or what is fluffy, Rook," Ben explained

"Humans make no sense." Rook replied simply.

"We really don't!" Ben laughed shaking his head.

"...Hey, I remember you now…" Danny spoke once he got a good look at Ben, "Didn't that Harangue guy make a report about you?"

"...Whatever he said, I…"

"Don't worry. It was clear he was avoiding certain facts," Danny stated, "Also...heh, can kinda relate on people really not liking you."

"Oh thank god…" Ben sighed.

"Told ya not to pay the jerk no mind." Makoto argued.

"Like you're one to talk?" Ben deadpanned.

"What…?" Makoto began before recalling her first time she saw Harangue's 'report,' "...Okay, fair point."

"But I think we got enough small talk…" Danny spoke as he changed back to normal, "We…"

"Interesting."

"OH GEEZ!" Danny jumped as Kajun was instantly before him.

"You don't have any devices or the like to transform, and yet you're able to change between this and what I assumed was your Ghost Form," Kajun noted, already writing down notes as she examined him, "Interesting indeed…"

"...Kajun, no…" Tsubaki instantly spoke.

"Kajun yes."

*CLANG!*

"S-sorry…" Noel whispered as she looked down at a knocked-out Kajun, a steaming bump on her head as the shy blonde held a frying pan.

"What just...and…" Danny began.

"Welcome to our lives," Ben sighed.

Meanwhile, outside of town stood a fairly large mansion, a sorta eerie green light coming from one of the windows. Inside, a figure stood as they stared up at the large computer, their cape billowing a bit.

"...Where is Skulker?" he groaned, "He can't have...ugh...nevermind I know what happened." a green portal appeared behind them as Skulker walked out, donned in a new suit as the portal closed behind him, "...speaking of whom…"

"I got what you wanted…" Skulker stated, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a USB drive, "Honestly this is a waste of my skills...why didn't you hire that idiot Technus instead?"

"Because that's what Daniel would've expected. That, and there's a chance he would've blabbed," the figure replied as they took the USB drive.

"...and that clown you brought in from out of town?"

"Well I needed someone to play as a distraction, even if I had to pay him in...ugh, brains," the figure shuddered in disgust as he slotted the drive into the computer, "Still he did his part, especially now that I know Ben Tennyson is in town." They then held up a finger, "Do not think about it, Skulker. He has been hunted by worse, so you wouldn't be any different to him."

"What does that mean?" he complained.

"I mean that unlike young Danniel...Ben Tennyson has had five years of experience, and has faced as many diverse threats as there comes...You'd not like the results." he smirked, "Besides...don't you already have your preferred pray?"

"...I do…"

"Good. Then why not go back home and contemplate your next plan on capturing him?" the figure suggested as he waved him off, "I need to focus on my little experiment here."

"Are you sure it's wise to mess with things from that section of the Ghost Zone?" Skulker asked.

"Oh don't you worry about it...It's perfectly under control," he laughed, "And well worth...all the risk."

"So let me see if I got this right...you found a watch that fell from space back from when you were ten?" Danny asked, pointing at Ben.

"Yup," Ben replied.

"Since then you've been using it to fight off a bunch of bad guys both from Earth and from space…"

"Oh yeah."

"You're also part of this intergalactic police force called the Plumbers…."

"Correct," Rook chimed in with a nod.

"And those five girls with you are your apprentices...and are all from a bad future while Jenny there is in actuality a robot from the 1920s…"

"That's right."

"And you guys...this crack team of Warriors from across time and space cops came to this town...just for party supplies?" Sam chimed in with her rough summary of why they came to Amity Park.

"My idea," Makoto spoke up, "I heard Amity Park sold some primo stuff for Halloween…though we did not expect there to be actual ghost here."

"Or a half Ghost hero boy," Noel added.

"Hey. I never knew aliens existed before today, so we both learned something out of today," Danny admitted with a shrug.

"I'm still freaking out!" Tucker proudly declared in excitement, "Danny, I am so jealous you got to fight alongside Ben 10...and I wasn't even there to see it!"

"Pretty sure if you were, you'd have nightmares for weeks after seeing Mr. Wuggles."

"Burn in whatever pit you were sent to, Mr. Wuggles…" Tsubaki spoke, shaking at the memory, "Vile bear of monochrome evil…"

"I like her," Sam smiled, hearing all that.

"As charming as it is to make small talk, I think we should bring up the elephant in the room," Makoto spoke, "Said elephant being Zombozo."

"Isn't he one of Ben's villains?" Jenny asked, "What was he doing here?"

"Don't know...He mentioned something about a haunted castle or something and this 'Ghost Zone' place Danny mentioned when we first met," Ben shrugged.

"Haunted castle?" Danny repeated.

"Beats me. For once in his, er...afterlife...Zombozo was cryptic. And this is a man who blabbed all about his power as an 'emotional energy vampire,'" Ben admitted.

"Given how nuts he was, that I can believe," Danny agreed, "As for why he wanted the Ghost Zone...If I had to guess, he wanted something to produce more nightmare fuel."

"I think the bigger subject is how does he know about the Ghost Zone," Sam spoke.

"...Good point," Ben noted, "I mean this is the first time he's ever mentioned it, meaning he must've learned about it recently...question is from who."

"Maybe one of Danny's villains?" Mai suggested.

"But aren't all of them ghosts you tend to catch before they can even get out of your town?" Makoto asked, "Last we saw Zombie the Clown was back in Bellwood...and we flew a good distance to get here…"

"...I think I know one guy who might've told him," Danny spoke with a frowned, "Vlad Plasmius."

"Who?"

"Vlad Plasmius, otherwise known as Vlad Masters," Tucker spoke up, pulling out his phone as he showed a picture of a man in a black business suit, his slicked back silver-white hair pulled into a ponytail, "To put it simply, he's the 'Green Goblin' to Danny's 'Spiderman.'"

"Oh…" Ben and Makoto said, understanding that.

"Huh?" the other questioned.

"We'll explain later…" they waved them off.

"Point is Plasmius is bad news," Danny stated, "And if he told Zombozo about the Ghost Zone, it's probably to distract us from something big."

"If that's the case, let's just storm in a-" Ben began.

"I would advise against that," Kajun spoke, looking at her tablet as the others looked at her, "Vlad Masters is one of the richest people in the country and a public figure. If any of us is seen attacking him on his property, it would raise some suspicions with the US government."

"Also you know who," Makoto added.

"Grr…" Ben growled.

"If this Vlad Masters is up to something, there must be something we can do to check," Rook stated.

"Fortunately we have such means," Kajun said as she turned her tablet around, showing a promotional image, "There's a costume party about to be held at his mansion tonight."

"Meaning one group can stand by and keep an eye on him…" Tsubaki began.

"And the other to look around his mansion!" Jenny finished.

"Wow, so this is what it's like to have a big team..." Danny muttered.

"I mean...all of us have powers and/or Black belts in space karate," Makoto argued.

"They have a point," Sam nodded.

"...Wait. But...won't he recognize you?" Noel asked, pointing at Danny.

"That is a good point...unless I possess someone…"

"Do that around any of us and I'll make you full dead…" Makoto spoke simply, "Or even consider doing it to one of us and I'll send you and your best friend to the same plane of reality…"

"She means you," Sam smiled to Tucker.

"Hey…"

"Hmm...There's a chance he knows what Ben looks like from the news," Tsubaki muttered, holding her chin in thought, "...Ben, you -along with Makoto and Danny- will lead a small team to search the mansion while the rest of us stay at the party to keep a close eye on things there."

"Sounds good to me," Ben nodded.

"Eh why not? Been a while since I've been on a stealth mission," Makoto shrugged.

"I imagine there are things worthy of my being angry at you, but you were smart and didn't mention them," Tsubaki spoke.

"Nope!"

"Alright...just about finished here…" the figure whispered as they typed away on the computer, "There and...perfect. And look at that. Only a few minutes before the party...but it's truly not a party once the 'star' arrives…"

=Sir, the perimeter is secure. Should we…?= a voice began from a radio comm.

"No no. You gentlemen have the night off…" the figure replied as a white flash happened around them, "I've got things covered from here…"

"...That is a big mansion…" Mai noted, the bluenette dressed up as Lucina from Fire Emblem, "...Still not as big as Tsubaki's place…"

"Really?" Sam asked, wearing a black dress intentionally tattered near the bottom with a black cape that had a purple inside, skull necklace, earrings, fake pointed ears, and fake fangs.

"True. This feels more like the house for the butlers and maids in size," Tsubaki admitted, dressed up as a valkyrie.

=She has a seperate house for her butlers and maids?!= Tucker's voice exclaimed from the communicator.

=That is what broke him out of his state of shock?= Rook asked.

=Wouldn't you be as shocked if you were surrounded with this much technology?= Kajun asked back.

=...Fair enough=

"Let's just focus on the plan, okay?" Mai spoke up.

"H-hai," Noel nodded, dressed as a nun with the black replaced with a dark-blue.

"...Why a nun?" Sam asked.

"Honestly I don't know, but...it just feels right," Noel admitted.

"Well you look quite nice in it," Mai complimented.

"T-thanks," Noel said as they began to walk inside the mansion, making sure to blend in with the crowd.

"Ben, are you and your team in position?" Tsubaki whispered into her badge.

=Yup= Makoto replied =Funny enough, Ben went Alien to better blend in if some wayward party goer runs into us and, well...He's the alien you turned into when the Omnitrix malfunction, Tsubaki. And his jaw's not splitting every few seconds, too=

=A ghost moth and an alien werewolf...what's next? A mummy or Frankenstein's monster?= Danny commented.

=Maybe= Jenny shrugged.

"Focus," Tsubaki whispered sternly, "The moment the party starts, sneak inside and make sure not to be seen. One slip up and we're in deep trouble…"

=Got it= Ben replied, his voice a bit deep.

=Heh. And his mouth didn't split in two once=

"Makoto…Do I need to remind you how you acted as an Appoplexian?"

=...Never gonna let me live it down…= Makoto muttered =But while we wait...hmm...Sonic Howler...Loboom...Shockwolf…=

=What is she doing?= Danny asked.

=Trying to come up with a name for this guy= Ben answered =I haven't used him since I was ten and even then, everyone just kinda called it the silly thing I called myself when I thought I was turning into a Werewolf...If I'd known it was an alien, I'd have tried something cooler like SonicWolf...or LunarLobo...No, those don't work…=

=So...you just name these guys on the fly?=

=Pretty much=

"Just try and focus on the mission," Tsubaki sighed as she turned her badge off and put it away.

"I mean, I like to think this helps calm nerves…" a growling voice spoke as Ben in his alien form walked forward, he stood taller than Danny and the others with dark grey fur with a black mane of fur around his neck and up to his head, his tail also the same black fur color as his mane. His hands ended in four claws and his legs in three each, his body covered in a green jumpsuit with black shoulders, his look completed by a green collar around his neck where the Omnitrix was set.

"And it's fun," Makoto added, "Hmm..oh! How about Moonpack?"

"That would be cool if he was capable of cloning himself."

"...Los Lobos? ...No no. I feel we'd get sued for that by both the actual band, and/or the creator of Bleach."

"I feel like it has to be something Wolf...since everyone called it BenWolf before." he grumbled.

"He has sound attacks, right? Maybe something based on a song or something?" Jenny suggested.

"You're into this, too?" Danny raised a brow at her.

"Kinda after what happened a few weeks back."

"...Well come on. Last thing we need is to be spotted and make this party into a ballroom blitz."

"...Oh! Blitzwolfer!" Makoto and Ben beamed quietly.

"Wow…" Danny muttered, 'I know next to nothing about relationships...but Tuck...I know your chances with this girl have literally become...zip.'

"...I don't know why, but I feel like my shot at one of Ben's friends became zip," Tucker spoke with a sigh.

"Would it have been wise to seek a romantic relationship with a person from the future anyway?" Rook pointed out, "Earth's media paints such situations as complicated."

"True."

"Also the fact she is actually older than she looks," Rook mumbled.

"Huh?"

"Side effect from being brought here to the past," Kajun answered, "Same for myself, Tsubaki, Noel, and Mai."

"..." Rook moved his hand and closed Tucker's mouth., "Shocking, isn't it?"

"Yeah…"

"Mai, everything okay on your end?" Tsubaki whispered to Mai as the two passed one another.

"Nothing weird or out of place...if you don't count the jock-looking guy making an idiot of himself," Mai sighed.

"Hmm. Yes...let's try and ignore that," Tsubaki sighed.

"Always best to…" Sam stated as she passed by.

"N-n-nothing odd going on at my end," Noel said as she walked up to her friends.

"Then everything seems clear for now…" Tsubaki whispered, "Still..keep an eye out for…"

"Well now...who do we have here?"

"?!" Tsubaki jumped a bit as she turned, seeing the same man from the picture Tucker showed earlier standing before her.

"I don't believe I recognize you...and I know everyone, my dear," Vlad said as he looked at her, "Given the regal air you seem to have around you, you must be of royalty or are like myself, a member of the high elite."

"...Ahem! Y...you could say that, yes," Tsubaki nodded once she regained her composure, 'I never even saw him coming…'

'Oh my...where did...did none of us see him coming?' Noel pondered.

'...So glad Makoto isn't here right now…' Mai thought, the bluenette kind of feeling a rather...creepy vibe coming off of Vlad.

"Oh, but where are my manners?" Vlad chuckled before bowing a bit, "Vlad Masters, owner of the mansion you stand in and proprietor of this party. Now if I may ask, who are you my dear?"

"Tsubaki Yayoi. My friends and I are from out of town and wanted to enjoy a simple costume party."

"Ahh. Fair enough," Vlad nodded.

"A friend of ours heard that some of the best seasonal parties happen around this area." Tsubaki quickly added, "So far I can say we aren't disappointed."

"Oh well of course, Ms. Yayoi. Amity Park is known for seasonal parties, especially Halloween," Vlad chuckled, "Though I'm sure the rumors of our little town being haunted by ghost didn't deter you from your little trip."

"Of course not...It did at first, but then we heard you had some Hero Ghost boy so we figured it had to be silly nonsense."

=Ow…= Danny replied over the intercom, before a loud smacking sound was heard =OW!=

=Do you know anything of stealth!?= Makoto complained.

"S-sorry!" Tsubaki yelped as she tapped the side of her armor a bit, "I forgot to pause a video a friend of mine shared with me."

"It's fine. You and your friends just enjoy yourselves a-"

"Hey Vlady!"

"...Beg pardon…" Vlad said as he walked away...while muttering into a communicator in his suit's collar, "I thought I told you to make sure he doesn't find out about the party."

=We did sir, but who...LARRY!=

=Jenkins did it…=

"I need to do a better background check on who I h-" Vlad began before he was suddenly lifted up, "Gah!"

"Ah, what's the rush, Vlad? I just wanted to say hi!" a rather large man in an orange and black jumpsuit beamed as he tightly hugged Vlad.

"Yes well...I was going to get ready…" Vlad grunted, before finally looking him over and freeing one hand to gently smack his face, "Jack...what...you know this is a costume party, right? Work clothes don't count as a costume...it's tacky and lazy…" he coughed the last part.

"Hey who am I to refuse a party? That and heard some ghosts were sighted recently today, so me and the missus wanted to make sure none of them ruined your party!" Jack replied with a smile.

"Oh? Maddie's here?" Vlad asked, his annoyance fading for hopefulness for a moment.

"Oh she's just getting the stuff out of the car. Said she can handle it while we catch up!" Jack beamed.

"Oh...joy…" Vlad noted, his annoyance coming back in spades, "Yes well...as much as I'd love to catch up, Jack...I need to go do something important, so excuse me…" he said as he turned and began to walk away.

"Ah come on! You got plenty o-"

"There's miniature corn dogs at the buffet."

"Corndogs?" he asked, turning his head to the table, "Ah…" he paused as he began to drool, Vlad looked around a few times before making part of his body intangible and slipping through his arm, he then made a run for anywhere but there, "Vlady? Oh that sly dog...speaking of dogs…" he ran off faster than his body physically should have allowed...and B lined for the buffet table.

"That…" Tsubaki began.

"That was Danny's dad," Sam spoke up, "I wanna say he's competent at his job...but he doesn't even realize that Danny in his ghost form is Danny...and he's supposed to be his son."

"...What?" most of them blinked.

"His mom on the other hand...while she doesn't realize it...she's...kinda good at the job," Sam added, "More or less everything his dad can't do...His Mom can in spades."

"Wow," Mai noted in surprise.

"So...his dad is…" Noel began.

"Loveable and dumb," Sam bluntly stated.

"Behind all great men...so the saying goes," Tsubaki mumbled.

"...This Vlad guy really likes himself…" Jenny noted, the group quietly moving past a large picture of Vlad.

"Typical bad guy lair," Blitzwolfer spoke as he walked on all four to look at the floor for an opening in the walls for a secret door, "Ya know what's weird to me?"

"What?" Danny asked.

"You and this Vlad guy both have this little extra smell to your scents. Kinda...um...oh! Kind of like a small hint of rotting flesh, but it's extremely subtle that you don't really notice it unless you're trying to focus on it," Blitzwolfer noted, "Then again, you also have a small icy smell mixed in while his doesn't."

"Icy?" Danny repeated.

"Maybe something you have that Vlad doesn't…" Makoto asked, "Maybe you have some ghost power that he doesn't."

"But he's had his powers for years," Danny argued, "And we both got them the same way. Kinda…"

"Yeah, but you said his was an accident with the prototype...yours was with the real deal," Blitzwolfer replied as he walked up to one painting, "Maybe you got a bigger blast of that ghost DNA scrambling stuff." he went on as he clawed at the floor, "Oh...I can see that the space under this wall is cooler...there's a breeze coming from under here."

"Bigger blast…" Danny muttered, looking at his hands, "Wait...did he say I smell like rotting flesh?" he realized.

"Now that you mention it…" Makoto covered her nose, "I just thought it was that weird cologne your friend had…"

"Oh come on!" Danny complained, "I could have gone my whole life without knowing ghost powers made me smell like the dead...oh that explains a lot of things now…"

"No openings," Blitzwolfer frowned, "Guess he uses his other form to go into secret places he builds."

"That makes sense...he is part ghost." Makoto muttered, "Wait then how do me and Jenny get in? We'd need to smash the wall."

"I guess Danny and I will go intangible and go in to see what's up, while you two will need to be lookout," Blitzwolfer spoke.

"Boo!" Makoto complained.

"Don't fight with me…" he complained while changing to Big Chill, "If you see anything, send me a silent message to my badge." he ordered before going intangible and phasing through the wall.

"Can do," Jenny nodded.

"Dang it...Why do we have to be on standby?" Makoto muttered as Danny followed after Big Chill, leaving the squirrel girl and Jenny to themselves.

"Because we can't phase through walls?" Jenny guessed.

"Don't give me logic…" Makoto muttered in disappointment.

"...Okay, this is odd. No traps or security systems...or anything..." Danny noted as he and Big Chill flew down a long metal wallway.

"If his ego is anything to go by, he probably thinks he doesn't need it," Big Chill commented.

"Oh no. I know Vlad...he doesn't do something like this unless he has something big planned," Danny argued.

"So he's that level of annoying...ugh...I hate those types…"

"...Let me guess, you got a 'Vlad' of your own?" Danny guessed.

"Kinda...if he was a large space octopus tyrant capable of taking down even my heaviest hitters," Big Chill answered.

"Yikes...I'd hate to run into that in a dark alley…"

"Try fighting him as a ten year old with zero clue how to even use your powers the right way," he added, "At least you got your powers when you were older. Trust me, the heavy stuff hits harder when you're just a goofy kid…"

"Dang...noted, man," Danny muttered.

"Ah, what can I say? Big Chill is the one alien that makes me act more mature…" he replied, "Not by a lot mind you...but enough…"

"...Least you never fought an evil version of your future self…"

"Huh?"

"Long story, but...I went to a future where I...well more like the ghost-half of me went full on evil."

"Your ghost half is evil?"

"More like it can become evil if it possesses Vlad's ghost half...at least I think it did...would...ugh. Time travel makes things confusing."

"Boy, don't I know that feeling," Big Chill sighed, "Still sounds like you got the short end of the meeting your future self adventure...my future self was just a grade A jerk...good guy...eh debatable...but a total jerk…"

"How many similar adventures have we had?" Danny asked.

"Ever get stuck in a body swap situation with family and/or an enemy?" Big Chill asked.

"Yep…" he sighed, "Evil Gimmicky villain who keeps coming back despite their lame theme?"

"Oh several…" Big Chill sighed, letting out a cloud of icy mist, "Family member finding out your secret and messing with your hero mojo?"

"Sister…" Danny sighed.

"Oh well better than your parents. They grounded me when they found out," Big Chill revealed.

"Dude really...harsh." Danny replied, "Okay. Maybe I don't tell my folks ever…"

"Aren't your parents also ghost hunters?" Big Chill asked.

"Yep," Danny replied, "And one of their inventions keeps hitting me every time it's thrown, but they think it's a malfunction."

"Either your parents are total suckers for the Superman effect...or…"

"Yeah, my dad is not the brightest or the sharpest…" Danny sighed, "Mom on the other hand...just be careful around her."

"Noted…"

"...So random question, are you and Makoto…?"

"Hmm? Oh...oh ho no!"

"Really? You two seem to go well together."

"We get that a lot...but I'm sure some people have said the same thing about you and your friend Sam, right?" Ghostfreak asked.

"Sam!?" Danny repeated as he lost focus and face planted into the next wall they had to phase through, "Ow!"

"Heh heh…"

"Not funny man…" Danny muttered, rubbing his face a bit, "...Wait. When did you change forms?"

"I…" Ghostfreak began before his sole eye blinked, making him look down, revealing he was indeed the pale grey alien with black crack like streaks all across his body with one single green eye, "...Wait. When did I change into Ghostfreak?"

"Ghostfreak?" Danny asked.

"My creepiest alien from when I was 10…" he grunted, slapping his Omnitrix relentlessly, "I hate this form...It literally has a mind of its own and tried to take over my body!"

"Wait. It tried to take over you once?"

"Yup...and it managed to escape and take on a life of its own," Ghostfreak added, grumbling in annoyance as he practically slapped the Omnitrix symbol, "Come on, change already!"

"Maybe it's glitching."

"If it was, I'd be rapidly changing aliens or something!" Ghostfreak snapped, his green eye moving along the black cracks to look at Danny, "Ugh...sorry...I just hate this form so much after all the pain it's caused...If I begin to act evil...I need you to knock me out or put me in that thermos of yours."

"Gotcha," Danny nodded as the two phased through the metal door, "And here we are...Vlad's lab...so far nothing out of the ordinary."

"Except maybe the giant not-Stargate with the green portal."

"The wha…" Danny blinked as he slowly looked over, seeing a large gate of sorts with a swirling green portal in the middle, "...Wait. Did...did he build a portal to the Ghost Zone?"

"So you mean on the other end of that...is a world of ghosts and poltergeists...and where your powers come from?" Ghostfreak asked, floating over, "Ugh...I almost don't want to go through that as I am right now...last thing I need is Ghostfreak feeling at home anywhere…"

"Then let's shut it down before…"

"Oh I wouldn't recommend it, Daniel."

"...Should've known you'd be hiding in the shadows…" Danny muttered a Vlad came out from the shadows of his lab.

"Yes, well I didn't want to ruin the surprise," Vlad countered before looking at Ghostfreak, "Ahh, and you must be Benjamin Kirby Tennyson...or Ben 10 as you like to be called in the news."

"...Oh, now I recognize you from the news. You keep failing at buying the Green Bay Packers," Ghostfreak recognized, "Wow and here I've never had a psycho millionaire villain...Oh wait. Captain Nemesis and Billy Bob." he muttered, "But they don't count...this...oh now this guy counts…Wait...is that other voice you, Ghostfreak!?" he panicked, hitting himself.

"Seems Will Harangue's reports may be slightly more accurate than one would believe," Vlad noted, raising a brow.

"I'm not crazy...It's the evil alien ghost warlord in my body!" Ghostfreak snapped, "Don't give me that look. You're both half dead…Wait what do you mean? We're half dead too?"

"Yes...and I was expecting you to turn into this form," Vlad smirked as he walked over to his computer, "You see Daniel...Benjamin, if there's one thing I learned last year, it is the fact that we are not alone out there. When you were revealed on the news, Benjamin, I used my resources to do some studying on alien species...specifically the ones you used from the news clips used."

"Wait...you mean you've been studying my ghostly aliens?" Ghostfreak asked, "What do you mean that was obvious...well sorry I don't speak villain!"

"Oh ho...I was hoping this would happen," Vlad smirked, "Well yes, Benjamin, I did study on your more ghostly aliens...specifically your current form - the Ectonurite."

"He's done his homework!" Ghostfreak laughed, his eye turning purple for a moment before it flashed back to green, "AH! You're getting stronger...go back down in our brain!"

"Okay, starting to get why you hate this form," Danny noted.

"Of course he does. Every single strand of DNA within an Ectonurite? It houses the memories - the very soul - of the Ectonurite," Vlad explained, "More than likely, the original willingly had his DNA taken just so it could be a way for him to continue survival and even obtain the very device used to store the DNA."

"Oh how right you'd be! Ahahahaha!" Ghostfreak cackled as his eye was purple again, "Stop that!" green-eyed Ghostfreak snapped, "NEVER!" purple-eyed Ghostfreak laughed, "This is worse than last time!" the green-eyed Ghostfreak complained, "Shut up, Tennyson! I'm trying to have a moment here!" purple snapped before green came back, "Danny!"

"Right!" he said, blasting a beam at Ghostfreak...only for the alien to rip open part of him...and suck the beam into the darkened sections, "And now I'm having nightmares…"

"Oh boohoo, Danny-boy!" Ghostfreak laughed, his eye purple once more, "Oh Danny-boy, the pipes the pipes are calling~" he cackled as the Omnitrix symbol was absorbed into his body.

"...Guys…" Danny began as he turned on a communicator he was given before the mission began, "Ben's being possessed by one of his forms!"

"Ben's not here right now...Ghostfreak will take his calls!" Ghostfreak spoke as tentacles ripped out of his skin.

He raised his hands as claws ripped out of his fingers. He then jabbed them into his face before ripping the rest away giving way to a black skinned specter, his ghost tail becoming stripped near the end. His body seemed to pump up in musculature as he now seemed larger than Danny, spikes began growing from the back of his now larger hands and shoulders. His face was now an upside down skull with one eye, his teeth growing and sharpening to points.

"...Well I'm not sleeping for weeks…" Danny whispered with wide eyes.

"Ahahahaha~!" Ghostfreak cackled as he swung his claws, making Danny back up as he left large gashes in the metal wall, "I can feel so much power leaking through that portal...and I want...MORE!"

"Then what's stopping you?" Vlad asked with a dark grin, "Go inside and take as much as you need! Oh, but if I may suggest something? If you go deep near the center of the Ghost Zone..there's something special there just waiting to be found!"

"Why thank you, Vlad…" he smirked before looking at Danny, "Boo!" he shouted as a pulse came from Ghostfreak's mouth knocking him over, "Ahahahaha!"

"...Wait. Is this what you had Skulker get for you…?" Danny asked as he glared at Vlad, "A way to open the Ghost Zone?"

"In a way...Oh, and to make sure you and Benjamin would be near one another, I hired Zombozo and brought him in as a distraction," Vlad revealed.

"So when he mentioned he kept changing into his more scary aliens…"

"Yup. You are to thank for this, Daniel!" Vlad laughed, "Ghostly DNA mixed in with alien energy? Not a safe combination, especially for Benjamin ...speaking of whom..."

"Later, fools!" Ghostfreak cackled as he flew towards the portal.

"No you don't!" Danny grunted, grabbing Ghostfreak's tail, he then looked up as Ghostfreak twisted his entire head around 180 degrees, "Ahahaha…" he sheepishly chuckled, "Oh, I'm fully dead now, aren't I?"

"I'm going to eat your soul…" Ghostfreak growled, raising his clawed hand and swiping at him.

"AHH!" Danny freaked as he jumped back, the claws barely missing him as they dug into the floor.

Ghostfreak growled as he rushed after him swinging as Danny ducked and avoided each time. Danny blasted at Ghostfreak, who just let the energy absorb into him. Danny panicked as a tentacle grabbed him.

"Oh right. Ectonurites are made of Ectoplasmic energy…" Vlad smiled, checking his fingernails casually as he watched, "Meaning you're just feeding him with each blast." he mused as Danny was slammed into the ground.

"Now he tells me…" Danny groaned before phasing through Ghostfreak's tentacle, "Guess I'll just punch you back to normal, Ben!" he spoke as he flew at Ghostfreak and punched him across the face several times.

Ghostfreak stumbled back as a final uppercut seemed to break his neck and make his head bend backwards...only for it to snap back into place as he smiled. He raised up two tentacles and grabbed Danny's punches. Ghostfreak swung Danny around before tossing him through a wall. The alien ghost moved to enter the portal, only to turn around and slice a large computer that was tossed at him.

"I really don't want to kick your butt, Ben!" Danny grunted.

"Oh, Danny-boy...even if that's true...I'm not Ben," Ghostfreak spoke as the tentacles in his torso all opened wide as a sphere of black and purple energy formed in the center.

"Oh that doesn't look good…" Danny muttered, raising his hands and forming a dome of green energy around himself just as the beam of dark energy shot at him.

"You hear screaming?" Makoto asked as the wall exploded and Danny skid across the floor.

"I'm okay…" he grunted, sitting up.

"Danny, what happened?"Jenny asked as she helped him up.

"Ben...Vlad planned this whole thing…" Danny grunted, "He was hoping Ben would change into this Ectonurite thing and had a portal to the Ghost Zone ready and waiting."

"Oh Danny-boy~" Ghostfreak sang as the girls saw him for the first time, "I'm not done with you yet!" he shouted, his hands glowing with the same dark energy as the carpet came to life and began tangling around Danny, Makoto, and Jenny, "Oh and look what else I captured...Ben's little robot friend and girlfriend…"

"Not...his girlfriend!" Makoto grunted, trying to free herself from the carpet.

"You say that...and yet I know for a fact you always stare at him." Ghostfreak spoke, putting one of his claws next to her face and slowly dragging it down, "And I know that me doing this...is really...Really upsetting Tennyson...I wonder what would happen if I…" he aimed his claw at her, "Do this…" he laughed as a smaller sphere of energy formed at the tip of his claw.

*BANG!*

"Gah!" Ghostfreak hissed as he backed off, holding his claw as the bullet hole in it began to disappear, "Who dares…?"

"That was close…" the three captured looked over to see Tsubaki, Noel, and Mai standing a few feet away from them, Noel already having Bolverk out.

"Grr…" Ghostfreak growled, "The other unneeded guests…"

"...Well I'm not sleeping for weeks…" Mai muttered with wide eyes.

"I know you're scared, Mai, but we need to focus and try and get Ben to change back," Tsubaki stated, her sword and shield already out.

"Ben's never coming back!" Ghostfreak shouted, "And to make sure he never gets control again...I'll make it so he has nothing to come back to…" he spoke, his hands glowing as the walls began to creak and crack.

=...He's...get out of there! NOW!= Kajun shouted from the communicator.

=Huh? Wh…?=

=Ectonurites are at their strongest in the dark...and if I had to guess...the e…= Kajun began before she was suddenly cut off.

"And there goes our contact…" Mai whispered.

"And this is starting to remind me of that movie 'Monster House'!" Makoto freaked.

"Does anyone at all know how this form works?" Tsubaki asked as the walls began cracking as they seemed to be...closing in on them.

"Vlad seems to...but I doubt he'll tell us willingly…" Danny grunted from his bindings.

"I think Ben once said something about...light?" Makoto asked as she tried to escape her bindings.

"Light...oh! In that case…" Jenny began as her eyes shone brightly, becoming like flashlights of sorts as she aimed them at Ghostfreak.

"GAH~! THE LIGHT!" Ghostfreak hissed in pain as he tried to shield himself, smoke coming off of him, "IT BURNS~!"

"Yes! It's working!" Jenny beamed as the carpet began to loosen around her, Danny, and Makoto.

"What kind of light are you using?"

"Oh, the light frequency I'm using is for 126.22 Hz," Jenny explained, "In other words, pure sunlight."

"So he's weak to sunlight...good to know!" Danny shouted once he got free, pulling out his thermos as he aimed it at Ghostfreak, "Sorry Ben, but this is for your own good!"

"RAH!" Ghostfreak roared as he rushed at Danny, claws aimed, before the Thermos blasted him with its capture ray, "Gh! H...what...is this?!"

"The Fenton Thermos, meant to capture and contain any ghost, which I bet includes Ectonutires!" Danny exclaimed as the beam began to pull Ghotfreak into the thermos.

"NO! I will not be sealed away again!" Ghostfreak panicked as he swung his claws around to grab at anything, he then growled as he swung his hand out and grabbed Danny by his shoulder.

"Hey what...AH!" he panicked as both of them were sucked in, "Aw man~! Not again!"

"...What...what just happened?" Noel asked.

=...lo? Hello? Tsubaki, come in= Rook spoke from Tsubaki's badge.

"I'm here. Communications are back on our end," Tsubaki replied once she answered her badge, "We managed to detain Ben for now...but he managed to pull Danny in with him."

"COME BACK HERE, YOU HALFA!" Ghostfreak shouted from inside the Thermos as it shook around erratically, even bouncing around after a while.

"GYAH! HELP! NIGHTMARE FUEL IN HERE TRYING TO MURDER ME!" Danny freaked from inside the Thermos.

"This...is awesome…" Makoto spoke, her eyes sparkling, "Can we make a gadget to catch bad guys like this!?"

=That's….note to self, suggest such an item with Blukic and Driba= Kajun whispered.

"Can we…" Tsubaki sighed, "Can we go before things get worse?"

"Uh...girls...bad news...Danny's parents are coming this way," Sam spoke while jogging up to them, she also was fast to notice the only two boys of the group were gone, "Thermos?"

"Eeyup," Makoto nodded her head.

"SERIOUSLY GUYS! HELP!"

"I'M GOING TO SUCK OUT YOUR SOUL!"

"This is becoming one of the best misadventures ever," Sam spoke while taking the Thermos, "Right...so let's use Danny's folks as a distraction to get out of here…"

"Good idea…" Mai nodded as the girls quickly rushed out of there, "...Wait. But what about Vlad?".

"Don't worry Vlady!" Jack shouted as he tackled Vlad as soon as he walked out, "I'll keep ya safe!" he shouted, taking out a giant laser cannon of sorts all while holding Vlad in his other arm tightly and cutting off his air supply, "Sam, you get your friends out of here!"

"What's wrong?" Tsubaki asked.

"Our ghost detector just gave off a big ol' reading! One of the biggest yet!" Jack explained, "Hoo boy! Haven't had one this bad since that time the entire town was pulled into the Ghost Zone!"

"That really did happen once," Sam whispered to the girls.

"Maddie! Any sign of the ghost on your end?!" Jack called out, unaware of Vlad's face turning blue as he struggled to free himself, "Oh ho! We are not letting this sucker get away!"

"Right well, we will just exit the building and go hide out by the cars where it's safe," Sam spoke, "Good luck with the ghost hunting...and hang on tight to Mr. Masters!"

"Oh you…!" Vlad began before Jack held him tighter.

"As if I needed to be told that!" Jack laughed.

"Good luck, Mr. Fenton!" Sam waved as the girls ran off.

"Nice girls," Jack smiled, "Costumes are getting weirder for teenagers these days though…"

"Ahahahaha!" Tucker laughed as Rook moved the Truck next to the Fenton's own metal-armored truck.

"That is quite reinforced," Rook noted, "Though with all the artillery and armaments, they made sure to have the appropriate license to drive this, correct?"

"Better we not answer that…" Sam replied simply as she slapped Tucker upside the head, making him fall out of his chair, "It's not funny...he's stuck in there with this evil form of Ben's."

"I would like to get out!"

"Your soul is mine!"

The Thermos jumped around as the two were at it once more.

"I got it!" Jenny shouted as she grabbed the Thermos, "Phew."

"So what? We dump them out when the sun comes out and Ben goes back to normal?" Makoto asked.

"That would seem for the best…" Tsubaki spoke.

"You mean I gotta spend the night in here with him?!" Danny shouted.

"Got a device that can keep a Ghost stuck in a small area?" Jenny asked.

"M-maybe Danny's parents might have one," Noel suggested, looking at the truck belonging to Danny's parents.

"The girl makes a good point." Sam shrugged.

"Not it…" Makoto quickly replied.

"I'll get it!" Kajun spoke excitedly as she jumped out.

"Oh no ya don't!" Makoto exclaimed, grabbing Kajun by the back of her blouse and pulled her back in, "You'd take too long and they'd notice everything stripped clean out of there if we let you go in."

"I can get it," Tucker offered.

"Well go get it," Sam replied simply.

"I hate when you get new friends...me and Danny feel outnumbered," Tucker complained.

"SOMEONE GET IT ALREADY!" Danny pleaded.

While all was calming for our heroes, they had no idea the amount of trouble coming their way. The proximity of a handful of people from the future sent waves of disturbance upon their proximity to the portal to the Ghost Zone. Waves which made their way to a section which existed outside the bonds of time. Within this floating palace of gears and mechanisms, deep within a hidden room...a second Thermos shook. An indent of a face on it was the only different...before a second formed on the other side...more and more dents formed from it...until the cap used to close the device and seal its captive within...popped off.

"Hahahaha…" a deep voice laughed as green flames began coming from the opening in the thermos, "I'm...back…" at that, the flames turned white as a shadow rose up, red eyes glowing ominously.

GT: ...Eep.

Z0: Mwahahahaha...I caused pure evil to be unleashed Again! Ah for the record Overlord was GT's idea...this one's mine.

GT: And SZ…*looks over to see him snoozing* Yeah, he got sleepy near the end.

Z0: ITs okay we're at the end anyway, well, see you all next time for the Second part of Ben 10 Meets Danny Phantom, *gets whispered to by Intern* Well yeah but adding in EVERY series we've used so far would make that to long…

GT: Yep. Read and review, folks!
