SZ: *sits in a meditative state, dressed in a monk-like attire*
GT: *walks in* ...I am not giving everything I own away, nor my identity, nor will I shave myself and constantly fall down stairs like Yosemite Sam did for Bugs when he told the guy that he had a great treasure.
SZ: Who says you are...this is more for unity..and to help start the next part of this arc….that and I've been playing Indivisible, the latest indie game to come out.
GT: Ah. Never heard of it. Then again, been more focused on Pokemon Sword and Shield with the recently revealed Galaran Ponyta along with Pokemon Go. They're doing a Halloween Event where Pikachu is dressed as Mimikyu and Bulbasaur's a Shedinja. I forget what Squirtle and Charmander are, but those four are in costume.
SZ: Ahh...it's an indie RPG that is really fun so far. Ajna, the main character of the game can summon people that decide to join her journey into battle...by absorbing them into her head via them becoming balls of light..I'm not sure how that works. Still playing hte game.
GT: Ah, I see. Well, folks, here's-hopefully-the last part of the Halloween chapters. As always, we don't own any series used in this. And since Z0 hasn't arrived yet…*pulls a lever* SZ, ever see the Book of Life?
SZ: Not since that one clip you showed me no...why?
GT: *ground shakes* Oh, not much. But, uh, you may wanna flee from the giant skeleton bull made from thousands of bulls that were killed by a family of bull fighters over the years that's also on fire. *takes out a sombrero before dropping it on my head...causing it to completely cover me before blowing away, revealing I was gone*
SZ:...ahh...then I have something to counter it since I beat it…*closes eyes as an orb of light came out of me..and formed into a Zinogre* bull..meet Zinogre...get him boy!
*giant skeletal bull on fire rams through a wall and wrecks the studio with the Zinogre*
"...I...I don't...are you…" Tsubaki stuttered in disbelief, "He's out?!"
"His fault," Ben and Danny pointed at one another, "What?! How is it my fault?!"
"You dad was the one who let him out!" Ben snapped.
"Yeah, well...you should've hid the thermos or took it with you!" Danny argued.
"Well you could've put it in some safe so your dad couldn't get to it!"
"I was too busy being traumatized by Kajun doing...wait a second."
"Kajun!" both called.
"Eh?" she blinked.
"Her fault!" they both declared simply, "We never would have screwed up if not for her...wait, how are...stop...no...Stop...Cut it out!"
"So...the skinny nightmare fuel GhostFreak is in the Ghost Zone…" Tucker noted as he looked at the portal, "...I am not going in there."
"Well we kinda have to go in there…" Danny sighed, "You saw what he could do just being near an open portal. Imagine how strong he's getting while inside there."
"Wait. We're going into a portal...to a dimension of ghosts?" Makoto asked, her face going white until Mai's spear whacked her upside the head and knocked her out.
"Sorry. She gets really grabby when terrified," Mai informed.
"I already sent out an emergency call to Magister Tennyson in case he sees the evil Ghostfreak or Dan," Rook informed, "If worse comes to worse...th-"
"Don't!" Ben exclaimed, "Dude...just...don't say anything to make things worse..."
"Is it even safe to travel in there?" Tsubaki asked.
"We have a ride for when we need to go in there," Sam explained, "Plus while in there the rules are swapped. Anything that's alive can pass through all their buildings and etc. In the Ghost Zone, it's like we're the ghost."
"Good idea, but we may need some people here in case either Ghostfreak or Dan is spotted," Tsubaki stated as she pondered for a bit, "...Ben, you and Danny will lead a team into the Ghost Zone while the rest of us stay here to monitor the situation."
"Oh no yeah. 'Cause going to the world of the dead has always been on my bucket list…" Ben muttered, looking at the portal.
"Well...We'll avoid the prison there," Danny assured.
"...There's a prison there?" Ben asked, "How do you even know that?"
"Ended up locked in there one day," Danny answered, "...It was really harsh in there, especially the guy who runs the place."
"...h...how harsh?" Noel squeaked, already hiding behind Mai.
"...Anyone ever see those old prison movies, like the Shawshank Redemption or the Green Mile?"
"So...Makoto stays here…" Ben and Rook quickly replied.
"I volunteer!" Mai quickly offered.
"I'm always up for a trip in there," Sam shrugged.
"I...I'll stay here…" Noel gulped.
"I will go to assist," Rook offered, "I am rather intrigued on what this 'Ghost Zone' looks like."
"I'm coming, too!" Jenny offered.
"You sure you're up for it? You got dented up pretty badly against Dan," Danny pointed out.
"Oh trust me...I want to give that guy some payback," Jenny argued, banging a fist into an open palm, "Not to mention give Vlad a punch in the schnoz for that 'outdated' comment. If anyone's outdated, it's his looks when he's transformed."
"Then both teams are set then," Tsubaki noted with a nod, "Just be careful in there…"
"Don't worry. It's us," Ben assured.
"Which is why I worry."
"Hey…" Ben groaned.
"Well...that didn't turn out the way I hoped," Vlad muttered as he floated back into his lab, "That Dan is very unpredictable...nothing at all like his current self...maybe I did too good a job with him in that timeline."
"Eh you could say that." Dan's voice spoke, making Vlad scream as he turned to face him, "Sup?"
"How did you...?"
"I can make my own portals to the Ghost Zone...can't you?" he smirked, holding a little portal in his hand, "Hey look it's almost the size of the one my dad blasted you with!"
"...duly noted…" Vlad muttered as he regained his composure.
"Oh and by the way, I have a new house guest."
"Hmm?" Vlad raised a brow at that as he turned...to see the face of Zs'Skayr staring at him, "?!"
"Yeah. Turns out Tennyson learned how to steal my tricks...or rather tricks I did with my parents tools they never figured out how to use. Seriously how stupid do you have to be to not perfect half the crap you make…"
"Grr…" Vlad growled in annoyance at that.
"But enough about that. We need to borrow the lab for a bit, 'dad'," Dan stated as he moved over to a computer.
"Now hold on. I…" Vlad began before Zs'Skayr pulled out a scythe and aimed it at his neck, "?!"
"I don't believe that was a question Vlad…" Zs'Skayr chuckled, "Why not let us go forward with our plans...it'll be a real scream!"
"Ha ha! I love this guy!" Dan laughed.
"...Wait. There's a good chance Daniel -along with Benjamin and his little group- will no doubt come after you two," Vlad pointed out, "How will you…"
"Oh trust us...no doubt they'll follow me into that realm…" Zs'Skayr stated, motioning to the portal to the Ghost Zone, "Little do they know...they will be in for a nasty surprise."
"Knowing that young and stupid me...he'll take Ben in with him, leaving those too afraid to come after this nutcase." Dan smirked as the scythe swung at his neck only to cut through green slime, "And that will split them up power wise."
"So while the two strongest threats to us on Earth are stuck running around the Ghost Zone facing all of Danny's old enemies and our traps, we'll be here on earth...setting up a nice welcome home present for them." Zs'Skayr laughed.
"And it will be glorious…" Dan smirked darkly.
'...I thought I'd never say this, but Danny...you better hurry and stop these maniacs!' Vlad thought.
"I hate everything about this," Ben spoke as he and Danny finished prepping the vehicle they used to traverse the Ghost Zone.
"I hate it too, but we can't just leave that evil Ghostfreak floating in there," Danny countered, "I mean, he might be eating some poor guy's soul in there or something. Plus, there's my evil future self, and we certainly can't let him roam freely to do whatever he wants."
"Yep," Ben agreed.
"I'm serious. For all we know, he's already doing what he did to the ghosts in his time to the ghosts in the present."
"...What did he do?" Jenny asked.
"He actually made the Box Ghost scary," Danny replied.
"I...doubt the validity of that...but I haven't seen it so…" Jenny shrugged.
"Just...trust me on this," Danny added as the group hopped into the vehicle.
"Just be lucky you didn't encounter any of my other bad guys in that bad future," Ben countered before blinking a bit, "...Although given evil future you, he might've axed them to 'thin out the competition'."
"I'd rather you not talk about this subject…" Makoto argued.
"Oh come on it's not like you guys existed in that timeline." Ben argued.
"Yeah, because our timeline had to deal with a planet destroying monster that made a majority of the world uninhabitable with those surviving having to live on top of mountains, and having to deal with a really corrupt world government," Makoto countered in a deadpanned tone.
"Right...oh shoot. Do you think your future is related to that timeline?" Ben asked.
"I mean...from what I hear, evil me made the world...a wasteland." Danny added, "Maybe he unleashed whatever that thing is you talked about in your timeline."
"...that might seem possible…" Kajun muttered a bit, "I mean, no living thing can withstand so much Sethr that now covers the surface of the Earth, so it may be possible ghost can withstand it…"
"Ah-ba-ba! No more talks of this!" Makoto replied.
"How odd...normally you're the one who makes us picture unsavory things…" Tsubaki noted the irony.
"Well sorry for me having a vivid imagination!" Makoto snapped.
"If not for the fact your a girl, I'd mistake you for a perverted old man." Tsubaki added, making her sputter in disbelief.
"What?!"
"She kinda has you there…" Mai pointed out.
"H-hai...," Noel added with a nod.
"Eh?! You too, Noellie?!"
"You d-did get kinda grabby the Mai during our first year at the academy…"
"...Grabby h-" Tucker began before Sam pinched his neck, making him tense as he collapsed on the floor.
"No..none of that."
"Thank you Sam." Tsubaki sighed.
"It's what I do." she shrugged, "You get use to it after knowing Tucker for so long...and how to hold back the urge to hurl when he tries his bits…"
"And we're usually there to pick up the pieces when he fails," Danny added.
"Okay...everything is set," rook spoke as he sat at the driver's seat, "Is everyone strapped in?"
"Ready as we'll ever be," Ben replied.
"Good, then open the portal Kajun."
"Doing so n-" Kajun began.
"Um...guys?" a girl with long orange hair held in a teal hairband spoke as she poked her head into the lab, "You may want to hurry. My and Danny's parents are coming down here to pick something up."
"Book it got it!" Ben spoke, kicking the petal to make the ship go.
"WAIT!" Rook shouted as they shot through the portal like a bullet.
"...wow," Makoto slowly blinked, "...wait. Did they forget something impo-"
"Oh Jazz! Good timing!" Jack's voice beamed, "Think you can grab the Extra Large Fenton Thermos for us? Is in the big drawer in the bac of the lab!"
"Of course, dad!" Jazz replied as she ran towards the back of the lab.
"Jack honestly, we have enough tools. I'm sure we c-"
"You can never be too careful Maddie!" Jack assured with a laugh as he walked in, "Plus I wanna beat out the traffic when we get to Vlads and not get boxed in...much like the jockstrap incident."
"Ah that's...TMI…" Makoto complained, getting the said gadget for them and tossing it to Jack who was unprepared and knocked over by the force of the throw.
"...I'm okay!" Jack gave a thumbs up.
"Wow you are really strong." Jazz noted.
"Oh trust me you've seen nothing." Tsubaki added.
"...okay...this place is spooky central…" Ben noted, looking at the area around them as some debris floated nearby the ship.
"That's putting it mildly…" Mai added with wide eyes, "And so...green."
"Oh trust me. You've seen nothing yet," Danny stated as he looked around, "No sign of Dan or that Evil Ghostfreak...or any of the bad ghost I've faced...and that worries me actually."
"Oh no it's a trap…" Ben groaned.
"Ben you can not just assume…" Rook began before blinking a bit, "No it is probably a trap…"
"Most likely," Jenny added, looking to the side before her eyes widened, "Incoming soundwave!"
"Sound-WOAH!" Ben yelped as a green wave of sound hit the ship, a riff of a guitar being heard in the air.
"Ah geez...Ember's here," Danny groaned, his face mashed against the window before he got off it.
"Ember?"
"Ghost girl who's bit is hypnotizing music."
"Oh..wait. Hypnot-" Mai began before the ship was his once more.
"Come on out, Danny! I wanna give you a rocking encore you'll never forget!" a ghost girl with flaming teal-colored hair declared on a nearby piece of debris, doing a hard riff on her guitar as she unleashed another soundwave at the ship.
"She really doesn't like him after he ruined her plan to make the whole world fall for her music," Sam explained, "We had Tucker ruin it with his awful singing voice, people hated her music so much she had what I can only describe as a mental breakdown on stage. Eye twitch and everything."
"Dang...and I thought I drove my bad guys cr-" Ben began before something landed in front of the ship, "?!"
"...oh crud. Skulker," Danny whispered.
"Oh I'm gonna enjoy this…" Skulker grinned as he aimed his missiles at the front window, only to flinch a bit when a green flash went off, "?!"
=Hey this is a rental!= Ben's voice declared as Upgrade's fist uppercutted Skulker sending him skidding back, =And we didn't get the insurance, so hands off Ghost Khyber!=
"My name is Skulker…"
=Really...I just see a metallic version of the Hunter who goes after me...only no dog that has a predator for all my powers...which means...oh you'll be easy, for two reasons. 1: I'm an alien who makes any and all technology better...and 2: This is a ghost hunting ship filled with weapons that I bet sting like heck= At that the ship deployed several large cannons and missiles batteries as a multitude of aim dots formed on Skulker, =So...wanna play who has the better weapons...no never mind...I'm winning=
"...oh you little…" Skulker began with a frown before he was sent blasting back into some floating debris.
"Need help babe?" Ember asked mockingly.
"Woman, I don't even know why your here!" he snapped.
=Pretty sure its to watch you get blown up= Upgrade replied, forming all his weapons into one giant blaster.
"Whoa whoa whoa! 'Babe?' You two are dating?" Danny blinked.
"If by dating you mean she comes with me to everyone of my hunts then yes."
"That is way better than Lunch Lady and Box Ghost I'll admit that." Danny muttered.
"Totally…" Sam nodded.
"Ugh don't get started on them…" Skulker groaned.
=Hey Skull face...if I blast you at max power...will you like regenerate from the leftovers?= Upgrade asked, charging up a giant ball of energy.
"...you distracted me…"
"You keep falling for it." Danny shrugged.
=Buh-bye~=
"CURSED ALIEN BOY!" he roared as the blast struck him and sent him flying into a random door, "Oh hello Technus…"
"Really...every time I take a bubble bath!"
=...did that just sound like Gilbert Gotfried?=
"Huh...never noticed that." Sam muttered.
"Sa...wait...he just bumped into Technus…" Danny realized, "...Jenny, you might wanna be careful."
"Why?"
"Matter of fact, hey Ben. Upgrade's never been taken over by people who control techs, has he?" Danny asked.
=No. Why a...this Technus guy can do that, can he?= Upgrade asked before he suddenly punched himself in the face =Ow! Question retracted then…=
"See?! I told you it was something new!"
"Can ya give me a minute? I'm still in a towel here…"
"Give him a minute!" everyone snapped.
"See?! Thank you…"
"Just how many enemies do you have, Danny?" Mai asked as the ship began to rock back and forth, as if Upgrade was trying to fight for control of both it and himself.
"About as many as Spider-man, not counting the time me, Jimmy, Timmy and Spongebob saved our universes," Danny replied.
=...What?= Upgrade blinked at that before catching his own fist =Ha! Nice try!=
"Danny...you said all your ghosts were nowhere to be found right?" Sam asked.
"...yeah…" Danny replied in a light worried tone.
"What's happening back home?"
"...oh shoot."
"Ahh!" Makoto screamed as she narrowly avoided an exploding car, "Remind me to smack Danny upside the head when he gets back for not telling us about every one of his villains!"
"Wait. You said Danny...So are you guys on my side?" a young girl that looked almost exactly like Danny in his Ghost form asked...minus the mini-ponytail she sported as she floated down.
"Umm...What the what...Danny?" Makoto blinked.
"Dani. It's spelled with an 'i' instead of a 'y.' I sensed a lot of ghosts and two powerful ones...So I thought Danny needed my help and I end up finding you guys," she explained, "So quick, tell me something to trust you or I could start blasting all of ya."
"Uh...Danny and Sam have a crush on each other but don't admit it out of teenage stupidity?"
Makoto responded.
"Not big. Literally the entire town knows that. Besides, I'm joking," she said while blasting Box Ghost in the butt as he fled, "I'm not as strong as Danny, so back me up ok?"
"...Well considering some of our heavy hitters are elsewhere.." Makoto began as she backfisted a creeping ghost, "Sure. Tsubaki?"
"The more help…" Tsubaki began using her shield to block a knight ghost's slash before pushing it back, "The better!" 'How could this happen now? Did Dan and the evil Ghostfreak plan this?'
"Why are so many even out!?" Makoto complained.
=It could be possible they're being summoned from a Ghost Zone portal...most likely Vlad's...that or Dan is summoning them through his own portals= Kajun replied over Makoto's badge.
"Oh boy, isn't that pleasant to think about!" Makoto grunted, punching another ghost.
"Dan?" Dani repeated as she blasted a crow ghost down, "...Oh don't tell me Vlad made another clone of Danny."
"Clone of...huh?"
"Long st-" Dani began before a swarm of crow ghost were shot down, "?!"
"Th-that was close…" Noel spoke, shaking a bit as she hid behind some debris for cover, "Still...scary…" she looked over at Dani, "Ah! D-Danny turned into a little girl?!"
"Boy, I hope the others are doing okay…"
"GAH!" Danny screamed as he was blasted down onto a floating island, "You know...I came here to save this place, but maybe I should let the evil future me have some time with you guys…"
"Try and make me punch myself, huh!?" Big Chill growled as he blasted Technus and Skulker with ice blasts from his hands, "Why not take a cold shower?!"
"Why didn't you tell me he could turn into a hundred other things!?" Technus complained, "Or that the watch thingy is impossible to control for me!"
"I didn't know!" Skulker snapped before Big Chill punched him with his fist covered in ice.
"Well you should've done your homework, b-!" Ember began before bringing up her guitar, blocking Mai's throw spear before she ducked under Jenny's thrown punch, "Oh ho! Ganging up on a gal, huh?!"
"To be fair...you're the bad guy for attacking first," Jenny argued with a deadpan expression, "You don't really get to argue our cheating when you cheat all the time."
"I mean it's not inaccurate!" Technus spoke as Danny punched him, "Gah my face!"
"Ooh, this looks important…" Big Chill spoke looking at Skulker's arm noting a PDA acting as a control system.
"Please don't mess with that…!" Skulker panicked.
"I'mma do it," Big Chill replied tapping a button making his jetpack activate against his will, "Ha!"
"No! No! No!" he panicked as it turned on and flew him off and into another floating island.
"Hahaha...ah...what a doofus!" Big Chill laughed.
"That...seemed like a design flaw…" Rook noted from the ship, "Could he not…"
"RAAGH! I am the Box…!" Box Ghost began before Rook simply fired a net from his Prototool, ensnaring him as he fell, "Ghost?!"
"Hm...yes you are," Rook replied simply.
"Seriously Skulker. You're still using that nerd's stuff in your suit!?" Ember complained.
"Woman!" he snapped, "If you know something better, I'd love to hear about it!"
"Need a minute? Trust me, I know how difficult willful women can get," Big Chill taunted, folding up his wings as he landed in front of Skulker.
"...I'm not sure if that was supposed to be a jab at Makoto or myself," Sam noted in slight annoyance from the ship.
"Knowing Ben and his ability to insult multiple parties without trying...unintentionally both," Rook argued.
"You know...I wish I could've gotten a smoothie before we headed out..." Big Chill muttered to himself, unaware of green ghostly mist appearing behind him.
"?! Dude! Don't say those words!" Danny panicked.
"Huh? Why? I was just..."
"Your wish...is granted~"
"...There's a ghost lady behind me, isn't there?" Big Chill asked, completely calm.
"Yep," Danny replied in the same calmness.
"Arabian attire? Kind alike a belly dancer or something?"
"Yep."
"Grants wishes, but it's more of a monkey's paw sorta situation with them?" Big Chill asked as a shadow came over him.
"Yeah."
"...Bring it," Big Chill stated as a giant living smoothie roared behind him.
"...I...have several questions…." Rook blinked in confusion.
"Same!" Jenny and Mai exclaimed before they dodged a soundwave from Ember.
"Why is there a ghost genie?!" Mai shouted.
"I never ask; I just go with it," Danny replied as he blasted at the shapely djinn-like Ghost near the smoothie that tried to attack Big Chill, "But I will ask this though...why are you guys even attacking me?! I...Dan enlisted you guys, didn't he?"
"Let's just say he had our best interest in mind…" the djinn-like ghost replied.
"That and if we played a distraction, he…!" Technus began before Skulker covered his mouth.
"Shut up!"
"Knew it…" Big Chill noted as he blew a blast of freezing air at the giant living smoothie, freezing it solid, "Dan must've been wanting us to come here…"
"Which means the human world is being attacked right now," Jenny realized before she was knocked back by a soundwave from Ember, "Hey! Easy! I like music, but not when it sounds so miffed off!"
"Y...what? Miffed off?" Ember blinked at that, "Whoeven says that?"
"Oh darb! Someone who knows the right slang!" Technus exclaimed, "Honestly, there are days when I wish for a bit of giggle water to deal with the headaches that come from the youngsters these day."
"...Nora Wakeman a familiar name to you?" Jenny asked.
"Nora? Oh, now she was a choice bit of calico," Technus noted, "Such good times in college and-and-and you're XJ-9, aren't you?"
"I am."
"Wait you know her?" Danny asked.
"I knew her mother!" he corrected, "She talked about her endlessly when we got together for old college reunions...ah parenthood sounded so great." Technus waved off.
"Now is not the time for this, Technus! Who knows how long the...what…" Skulker stopped as he watched Upchuck sitting on the Smoothie Monster as he drank from the straw.
"Huh...Makoto's right. It is adorable." Mai noted as they watched Upchuck drink the contents of the Monster Smoothie until the cup part of its body collapsed in.
"That...was disgusting." Danny spoke simply.
"I love it when magic makes that happen." Upchuck laughed as several tongues licked his lips.
"Insolent little welp!" Skulker snapped as he aimed an arm cannon at him, only to blink as Upchuck literally bit his entire forearm off, "Oh come on!"
"Upchuck can eat anything…" Jenny explained.
"Wait anything?" Ember asked as four tongues grabbed her guitar and snatched it out of her hands, "HEY!"
"Bleh...tastes like a need for attention and validation." Upchuck groaned.
"HA! Told you!" Skulker snapped.
"Don't you start with me, 'babe'!"
"...do you two need a m-" the djinn-like ghost began.
"Butt out of this, Desiree!"
"Yeesh. Such temper," Technus cringed.
"Think about couple counseling?" Upchuck asked as he burped and fired a green energy ball that exploded in Skulker's face.
"Okay now that's just disgusting…" Technus spoke before one blasted him in the face, "I was right!" he cried, falling into Skulker, "It smelled like motor oil and wheat grass…"
"Get off me!" Skulker snapped.
"Need some h-"
"Don't you start, woman!"
"So wait. All of him is just a suit?" Upchuck asked Danny.
"I know weird right?" Danny nodded.
"If I ate the whole thing what part would I need to avoid to not get my literal pocket dimension stomach haunted by a cranky ghost?" he smirked.
"The head. It's where he controls the whole thing," Danny smirked back.
"...Oh cr-" Skulker began before all but his head was wrapped up in Upchuck's tongues, "?!"
"That...is utterly horrific…" Technus noted.
"And I thought Lunch Lady's food was horrifying to look at when she's making it…" Deisree muttered."
"Uh Skulker...Babe?" Ember began.
"Not a word woman!" his head barked as it was still functioning normally, "How mortifying. The hunter becoming the prey."
"Don't sweat it pal, Upchuck is the literal top of the food chain...his species eat entire planets." Upchuck replied, laying on his back and rubbing his tummy before burping a bit, "Excuse me…"
"Ew…" Mai gagged a bit with Jenny.
"Well that seems poetically ironic…" Danny smiled.
"Do you even know how to use that word?" Desiree asked.
"He doesn't!" Sam called out.
"Sam!" he complained before a giant fist struck him, sending him slamming into their ships windshield, "Not the time…"
"Hey. I've got nothing to do," Sam shrugged.
"Mayhaps we sh-" Rook began before a giant pair of hands grabbed the ship, "?!"
"Did you forget about me?" Desiree asked with a smirk, her hands glowing in green energy as the hands sent the ship crashing into a small island.
"Little bit yeah…." Sam grunted.
"I am not a fan of anatomical shapeshifters…" Rook groaned.
"Don't worry! I…!" Upchuck began before he was suddenly engulfed in a cage of green fire, "...really? A fire cage?"
"They get creative…" Danny grunted.
"Creative? Please…" Upchuck began as he tapped the Omnitrix Symbol, engulfing him in a flash of green light as he changed into Heatblast, "I can j-Ahh! Cold!"
"Like it? It adapts to whatever you turn into," Desiree smirked.
"I'm starting to hate genies now…" Heatblast muttered.
"We've hated her for over a semester of school now!" Sam replied, "Oh duh...I wish you'd let Ben go...and you'd hit Ember!"
"Gh?!" Desiree tensed at that before she snapped her fingers, causing the flame cage to disappear, "Your wish...is granted."
"Oh you..!" Ember began before she was hit with a giant fist, "GAH!"
"Wait. It was that simple?" Mai blinked.
"I know...we kinda keep forgetting." Sam sighed, "I mean seriously we keep forgetting...I guess it's because we are so used to the by the books hit and fight…"
"...she has a point there," Jenny spoke, "We tend to forget that sometimes with some of our villains."
"...and honestly surprised it's just you four," Danny noted, looking at each of his villains.
"I am here too!" Box Ghost declared down below.
"Was thinking of something worse waiting on us, like the ghost dragon or.." Dany began before a green flaming slash nicked his cheek, "...Fright Knight…"
"You idiots can't do anything right…" an armored ghost covered in purple flames spoke, floating there, "Let me show you how it's done." he formed a ball of purple flaming magma in his hands before launching it at Danny, who formed a barrier...only for the explosion to blow him away.
"Ow...forgot he can do that…"
"Uh dude? Who's that?" Heatblast asked as he helped Danny up.
"The Fright Knight, also known as the spirit of Halloween," Danny explained, "He's...he's really powerful and not to be taken lightly."
"Hmph," Fright Knight scoffed at that before deflecting an energy blast from one side with his sword before using it to deflect Mai's thrown spear. Just as it was about to bounce off the air again, he grabbed it before throwing it back at the bluenette, who yelped as she jumped back from the now flame engulfed weapon, "Pathetic."
"So...he's the strongest around." Heatblast noted, messing with the Omnitrix, "But I think I figured him out."
"Ben."
"No point going in guns blazing...if he's the strongest thing after our evil parts…" he went on tapping the Omnitrix as he transformed into ReBoot, "Then I need to fight him with a smart plan." he spoke forming a sword out of data energy.
"So an honorable duel...how foolish." Fright Knight aimed his sword at the alien shape shifter.
"Maybe…" he replied as they charged and slashed, clashing swords. Fright Knight blasted at ReBoot, who seemed to glitch and let the attack go through him, "Maybe not." he spoke forming two floating swords that blocked his next swing, ReBoot held his arm back as it began glowing and used it to punch the Knight ghost, sending him skidding back, "Lets just say...I got a few cheat codes to even this up."
"...hmm. So you have some skills…" Fright Knight noted, "..Very well. Let us see who is the better of us, child…"
"Dude I've ended wars, saved the galaxy, faced gods...if you think I'm scared of a wannabe Pumpkin King..." ReBoot began as he held his sword up, "You're just asking for this butt kicking."
With that the two clashed again as they flew around the area. Everyone cringed feeling bursts of air as they clashed multiple times. Explosions went off as both fired beams from their blades at one another. The two clashed as their heads bashed against one another as well. Both growled as their eyes began glowing. The two jumped away from one another before firing optic beams that clashed with one another. ReBoot swung his arms out as four floating cannons formed in the air above his shoulders. They all fired off at the same time merging the beams into one larger blast that began overpowering Fright Knight.
"?! I..impossible!" Fright Knight exclaimed.
"Ben's been practicing with this new form a lot." Mai explained, "He's learned to build all sorts of constructs and how to fight with him."
"He might not act like it but he prepares for things." Jenny added.
"GAH!" Fright Knight cried as he was blasted into an island.
"Ha! That was easy!" ReBoot laughed.
"Impossible…"
"You know I'm starting to think this was a bad idea…" Skulker spoke as Ember picked up his head.
"Was your first clue? The alien boy turning into a mass of sentient digital energy that overpowered him?" Technus asked, "Spoiler...we all are realizing it!"
"Duh!" ReBoot laughed, "Now tell us what Dan and Ghostfrek want!"
"Ghost...who?"
"Uh duh. The Evil Ectonurite th-"
"Ahh! Where?!" Technus panicked as he rapidly looked around.
"Wait...you guys know what those are?" ReBoot asked, floating down to stand in front of them, "How do you know what they are...I mean they're aliens."
"Foolish boy...Ectonurites are not just aliens, they are ghosts." Skulker replied, "They exist between dimensions, only reaching the mortal world via naturally occurring portals on the alien world Anur Phaetos. We thought they'd all left for there and finally left us in peace."
"Peace?" Danny asked.
"Their power are near limitless here...they even feed off us…" Skulker sighed.
"They're your predators!" ReBoot realized.
"No duh, idiot!" Ember snapped.
"So you guys what? Drove them back?"
"Yes." Skulker sighed, "One day some five years ago, the few remaining here where called away…"
"Wait I know this story!" ReBoot spoke, "Yeah Ghostfreak tried one last attempt on Earth before Azmuth locked him up...and before Vilgax freed him...ugh. He just keeps escaping everything…Anyway, he made a portal and I guess it was a Ghost Zone portal...and called all his friends to earth. It was a whole thing but we sent most of them to the Null void via shenanigans...and thanks to Vlad, he's back..."
"Plasmius…" most of them groaned.
"I mean you guys realize your are working for an Ectonurite right now given he's teamed up with the evil alternate future version of Danny who according to him...tortured and tormented his worlds version of you." ReBoot explained.
"..."
"..or you already knew…" Danny realized.
"Can you blame us? He threatened to sic that...that monster on us!" Desiree exclaimed.
"What were we suppose to do!? Say no and wind up lunch?!" Ember argued.
"Wow...so once again you guys are running scared from the real big bads…" Danny crossed his arms, "This is Pariah Dark all over again."
"Yes, but Zs'skayr…" Fright Knight began as he got up, using his sword to stay balanced, "That thing..he is far different. It is like he is the Grim Reaper..only he steals souls and eats them for his nourishment."
"Trust me...I shared a body with him since I was ten years old…" ReBoot argued, "I know how creepy he can be."
"You've shared a body with him?" most of them asked as ReBoot sighed and slapped the Omnitrix, changing to his GhostFreak form.
"Boo!" he shouted, making them jump, "As you may or may not know, these things have their minds in their DNA...that means that poor ten year old me had to fight that monster...and guess what? Me and my family beat him...twice...three times if you want to count the time I did a Bram Stoker and burned him to ash with the morning sun."
"I am gonna take his word on that." Mai spoke.
"Bram who now?" Danny asked landing next to him.
"The man who wrote Dracula...oh wait...right. D in English…" Sam sighed.
"Hey...C...a solid C!" Danny argued.
"What we're trying to say is...if you want him taken care of, we can do it." Jenny offered, "But you need to stop attacking us and let us do our part of the job."
"Or you could help us?" Danny offered.
"...why should we help you?" Skulker frowned.
"Trust me..I've fought versions of you in the future Dan is from and..not pretty," Danny replied.
"Also the time with the Ghost King." Sam added.
"But that was…"
"Christmas incident…" Sam cut them off, "Didn't you also help Danny escape prison...after he suggested it…?"
"..."
"Let's face it you guys aren't exactly total diabolical evil...just annoying enemies of the week...you don't want the earth ruined as much as we do...cause that will just cause a housing shortage for all of you," Sam pointed out.
"Yeesh, Sam. That was Morbid…" Danny spoke.
"I mean let's face it. Their schemes are less evil and more whacky most times...I mean kidnap adults to power some ghost kids Pirate ship?" Sam argued, "Technus can't think of a plan for world domination...unless Danny gives it to him."
"It was a lapse in judgement…" Ember argued.
"My shame...is vast…" Technus sighed.
"Plus there's the fact you just wanna hunt Danny for sport, Skulker…even if he keeps wrecking your suits."
"Grr…" Skulker growled in annoyance at that.
"Lets just phrase it like this…" Ghostfreak added, "You could help us stop the real evil monsters out to destroy your world and ours...or you can stay here and wait for them to come back for their fun and lunch time."
"..."
"It is the only options you have," Rook pointed out.
"...Tch…" Fright Knight scowled behind his helm, "Do you promise to make sure Zs'Skayr never returns to the Ghost Zone?"
"I'll do what I can; but he's escaped from the impossible before," Ghostfreak replied, flashing back to Ben as the Omnitrix timed out, "But if we can pull off the plan we have on Dan...it might just work on him, too."
"...Fine. We shall assist you...for now."
"Good. Now let's hurry and find a way out," Ben nodded, "...I just hope the others are doing okay."
"Is...is that...the last of them?" Makoto heavily panted, standing near a large pile of knocked out ghosts.
"I think so…" Dani replied, wiping a bit of sweat off her face.
"Well well…" a voice spoke, making them all look up at Dan as he floated down, "I was worried that you wouldn't...wait...What is that?" he pointed at Dani, "...Oh my god. He didn't…"
"What the….?" Dani whispered with wide eyes.
"Before you assume...no. I am not a clone like you," Dan stated to her with an annoyed frown, "I am an alternate evil version of Danny Fenton, and-ugh!-why did he make clones of me? Especially a little girl one?!"
"Hey!"
"Oh Vlad...I knew you were a creep...but oh…" he groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose, "This is why I killed smart people, too."
"What are you looking to accomplish here?" Tsubaki demanded as she and the others stood ready, despite how tired they were.
"Hmm? Isn't it obvious? To lure away Mini-me and Ben Tennyson so me and my new partner can do what we need to do," Dan replied with a grin.
"N...new…" Noel began before a scythe was aimed at her neck, "?!"
"Hello…" she slowly looked over her shoulder to see Zs'Skayr looking at her with a crooked smile.
"Oh god! Now he became a nightmare fuel grim reaper!" Makoto freaked.
=I am so glad me and Kajun aren't there= Tucker spoke =...Wait. I jinxed it just now, didn't I?!
"Wait, how are you out in the open right now?" Tsubaki asked.
"That would be my little invention which should be taking noticeable effect...now," Zs'Skayr pointed up as the sky began getting dark.
"...He's blocking out the sun…" Tsubaki realized.
"Yup! Call it a…'permanent eclipse'…" Dan smirked, "Without the sun giving him a nasty burn, he can roam around whenever he likes…"
"And I am going to savor every moment of it!" Zs'Skayr cackled as he reeled his scythe back.
"Kya!" Noel screamed as she quickly rolled out of the way of his slash.
"Hehehe...You can run...but there's no where on Earth to hide anymore!" Zs'Skayr laughed while swinging his scythe around, forcing them all to dodge out of the way.
"Welcome to our world now!" Dan added with an evil laugh, firing blast of green flames at the group as well.
"I hate it when smart bad guys team up!" Makoto shouted as she dodged a blast, "Tsubaki, any ideas would be helpful right about now!"
"I'm trying to think!" Tsubaki replied, using her shield to block a blast before she was sent skidding back
"I doubt you'll have time to think of much," Dan spoke, raising his glowing hand, "I've always wanted to see what would happen if I blocked the sun. Sadly, kinda hard to make happen...cause, you know, science. Now I'm hoping this leads to some weird timeline with mutants and stuff...Oh, that'll be a riot."
'Starting to think he might be the reason we got the Black Beast in our timeline!' Makoto thought.
"But...none of you brats will live to see that world," he smirked while aiming at them, "I'm gonna start another Hero murder spree in this timeline. Starting with all of you!"
Everyone tensed as he fired, only for a figure to land in the beams path. Everyone blinked as the beam was absorbed in.
"Phew...made it in time," Chromastone spoke as he absorbed the energy, "Did Ghostfreak block out the sun again?"
"He's done this before!?" Makoto snapped.
"Yeah. It also mutated people...so…"
"Oh, you cheeky bastard! You never said it would do that!" Dan laughed.
"I wanted to keep the surprise…" Zs'Skayr replied before glaring at Chromastone, "Tennyson…"
"So...going with a Grim Reaper look now, eh Ghostfreak?" Chromastone asked.
"Do not call me by that name! It is Zs'Skayr!"
"Zs'Skayr? As in 'So Scare?'" Chromastone quipped, "Wow. What a dumb name. Honestly, even your partner here's smarter with the naming; and all he did was shorten his name to 'Dan.'"
"Ha! He has a point there!" Dan laughed.
"SILENCE! Both of you!" Zs'Skayr snapped.
"Yeesh. Touchy…" Chromastone muttered before narrowly avoiding a slash from Zs'Skayr, "Woah! When did you get a scythe?!"
"You'll find out after I tear your soul from your body, Tennyson!"
"Had that happen before and it did not end well for the gal who took it," Chromastone replied.
"Wait, what?" Makoto blinked at that.
"It involved a whole lot of things and something that'd be perfect for the Cthulhu Mythos," Chromastone replied before Dan blindsided him with a punch to the face, "Gah!"
"Don't forget I'm here too, Tennyson!" Dan smirked, "Oh and where is Mini-me? I am dying to…" he held a hand up to catch Danny's thrown fist, "Oh honestly...when has this ever worked, Mini-me?"
"Only when it's meant to be a distraction," Danny replied.
"What?" Dan asked before being blasted by a multicolored beam that sent him crashing through a wall, "GAH!"
"Forget I was here, too?" Chromastone smirked.
"Oh, you think you're clever?" Dan frowned as he climbed out of the wall, "But wait…" he looked over at the others, "I have a retort…"
"...Oh, I don't like how he's staring at us like that," Makoto whispered.
"...?! He's gonna try and possess the others!" Danny realize as Dan flew out and headed for the others.
"I think I got something for that," Chromastone spoke before slapping the Omnitrix.
"What the…" Dan blinked as tentacles ensnared him.
"It's still gross using this form at times...but at least I don't have to be afraid to use it anymore," Ghostfreak spoke as tentacles shot out of his torso and captured Dan.
"That just looks disgusting!" Makoto snapped.
"It saved your fuzzy tail, didn't it!?" Ghostfreak snapped.
"Need a minute?" Dan asked, grabbing Ghostfreak by his neck.
"Oh god, I regret this choice almost instantly!" he shouted as he was punched, sending him flying and rolling across the ground before landing in front of his friends, his eye spiraling out of dizziness all along the 'tracks' on his body, "Grandpa...did I score the goal?" he asked as they looked down at him.
"Okay, this is getting old," Danny spoke, floating up to his Evil Alternate.
"I agree...There's no need for two Phantoms," Dan smirked as his fist began glowing with energy, "Don't even think of it. You should know that even if you have my powers...I don't lose energy by spamming them like you."
"Then I'll just beat you the old fashion way then," Danny replied, his fists glowing along with his eyes.
"Ooh...I'm impressed with that rage...maybe your more me than you think!" Dan laughed, showing off his sharper teeth.
"I'm nothing like you!"
"Not yet…"
At that, the two blasted massive beams of ecto-energy. The two green beams clashed with a great flash. Due to its nature, however, it did not cause Ghostfreak or Zs'Skayr to flinch. The two Ectonurites glared at one another. Their claws sharpened before shooting at one another.
"Oh Tennyson, how flattering...thinking you can beat me as me!" Zs'Skayr grinned, swinging his scythe as Ghostfreak turned to gas and let it pass through him.
"But I'm not you...and you were never me. You're gone from my head and I'm not afraid of you anymore…" Ghostfreak argued while grabbing Zs'Skayr's scythe by the handle before he pushed back, slamming him into a wall.
"Oh, but Ben...I'll always be a part of you...and you me. We've been linked since you were ten years old...and now I'll cut it, just like I'll soon do with your head from your body!" Zs'Skayr growled, pushing back.
"I get it...you have a Scythe!" Ghostfreak snapped before rearing his hand back and punching Zs'Skayr, making him shoot back and slam into the street, "I forget how strong Ghostfreak actually is...oh crud!" he cried as a tentacle grabbed and slammed him into the ground.
"Gah!" Danny cried as he was struck by Dan.
"Gr!" said evil alternate counterpart growled, happily slamming a second punch to Danny sending him flying back.
Dan flew forward only to grunt as he ran into a barrier. He growled as he began crushing it with his hands only to blink as it vanished, giving Danny a chance to land a glowing fist into his face. Dan was sent floating back with a look of shock, before turning his head back to face Danny with a smirk. Dan charged as he shot his hand out and grabbed Danny by his throat.
"Oh mini-me...face it. No matter what you do, I'll one-up you in just about everything," Dan smirked, "...huh. Funny...I just noticed this, but a lot of your...well our villains loved to choke the hell out of us." he muttered, "Also, good lord, you take an eternity to choke!"
"That...all you got…?" Danny grunted.
"As a matter of fact…" Dan smirked as he tightened his grip.
"Ack! Regret! Regret!"
"Ha! Love it when th-" Dan began before grabbing Ghostfreak just as he tried coming at him, "Also really? You think you'd learn by now from me...what's wrong, Skayr?! Got tired of using Tennyson like a punching bag?!"
"He has no idea how to even use that form…" Zs'Skayr replied, "Doesn't even know how to use the other powers…"
"I have other powers?" he blinked, "Like what!?"
"He could shoot a beam of energy and do telekinesis…" Makoto spoke.
"I CAN DO THAT!?" Ghostfreak snapped.
"You really should look more into some of the ones you don't use just in case…" Makoto deadpanned.
"Ah, and I just learned the tentacle thing…" he groaned as he was tossed to the ground, "Makoto...I'm getting my butt handed to me…"
"Oh! R-" Makoto began before a blast hit her in the back, sending her flying "Gah!"
"Makoto!" Tsubaki gasped as the Beastkin landed near Ghostfreak and Danny.
"Honestly, do you forget who else is here?" the others looked up to see Vlad floating there, his hand glowing a bit.
"To be fair, you are kinda forgettable right now, 'dad'!" Dan countered.
"Do not…!" Vlad began before he blocked an incoming blast, "...Oh ho...Danielle..."
"Ugh...let me guess...She was raised by him...learned he's evil and didn't care for her...now she hates him?" Ghostfreak grunted just before timing out and changing back to Ben.
"Does not help…" Danny began as he coughed a bit, "She's a clone of me…"
"You know the irony is that the whole wrong gender thing might have helped stabilize her as I bet the 'perfect' copy clone melted…" Ben spoke.
"Wow...you really have seen it all," Danny blinked.
"No...I just like sci-fi movies," Ben corrected.
"I do too, but we have more pressing matters at hand," Makoto spoke as she got up, "Seriously starting to feel like Castlevania up in here…"
"Please don't tempt fate, Makoto…" Ben grunted.
"Oh no. Please do…" Dan smirked as he held his hands out, causing dozens of portals to appear as a hoard of tainted green ghost began to fly out, "I want this to be a night to remember!"
"Goddamnit, Makoto!" Ben snapped.
"Argue later!" Makoto snapped.
"...Well, might as well call for Plan B then," Danny spoke.
"Hmm? Plan B?" Vlad raised a brow at that.
"God, I hope they finished with giving those idiot ghosts what they need..." Ben grunted.
"The he-!" Dan began before a barrage of missiles hit his army of tainted ghosts. He then grunted as the red wisp escaped his nose, "Oh don't tell me…" he turned to his Old Villains, "Oh now that's just adorable."
"What is the meaning of this?" Vlad asked.
"You think we're gonna allow that filthy monster to torment us? You have another thing coming," Skulker pointed at Zs'Skayr.
"Hey...I know Vlad is a bit creepy..." Dan began.
"He meant the Ectonurite."
"Well no need to resort to name calling, Vlad," Dan replied.
"Our point is…" Fright Knight began as he moved to the front of the ghost group, "We will not be submitted to that monster's reign of fear. He is a danger to both the world of the living and the Ghost Zone."
"Oh boohoo...tell it to someone who cares about either!" Dan spoke, swinging his hand out and forming a streak of green energy in the air which exploded and began raining energy blasts at them.
"Oh yeah? Well you better get ready for a night on the town, because we're…" Ember began, holding a new guitar as she did a loud guitar riff, sending out a massive soundwave that blocked the energy blast, "Gonna take you to a ballroom blitz!"
"Well...that's bigger than normal...Oh don't tell me...the nerds helped empower you, didn't they?" Dan asked.
"To deal with you…" Skulker began as he crossed his arms, causing a pair of pale-white energy blades to pop out of his wrist, "Worth it."
At that, the ship Ben and co had used to enter the Ghost Zone came flying overhead. Rook poked out of the opened window as he fired a few shots at Dan's corrupted ghost army.
"...Well th-" Vlad began before Jenny blurred by him, punching him in the face as she landed near Ben, Danny, and Makoto, "Gah! Will you people stop interrupting me!?"
"Oh thank god...We got the other bad guys on our side…" Makoto sighed.
"It was kinda easy… They are hardly ultimate evil incarnate. Just massive jerks," Ben explained.
"Oh."
"You just focus on dealing with the Ectonurite and his partner!" Desiree shouted as she summoned an energy wall to deflect a bunch of corrupted ghost, "We will deal with this army!"
=Which should be easy!= Technus shouted from Skulker's suit.
"I still regret letting you in here," Skulker muttered.
=What? It was the only way you could properly use your suit!=
"Ew…" Danny whispered to himself, as if having a flashback.
"...Noel, see if you can target any ghost that try and escape," Tsubaki spoke as she looked at her group, "Makoto, you and Jenny help Danny and Ben. Dani and I will hold Vlad off as best we can."
"Got it!" Makoto gave a thumbs up, "...wait. Where's Mai?"
"Back at the lab to help Kajun and Tucker in case any more spooks escape," Jenny answered.
"Ahh...right then."
"Oh that is cute…" Vlad chuckled as he floated down near Tsubaki and Dani, "You think you can handle me, Ms. Yayoi? Danny has trouble dealing with me most of the time."
"Yeah, you're right…" Danny spoke as he rushed and tackled Vlad through several walls while intangible.
"Hey!" Makoto complained.
"It's part of the plan," Ben spoke.
"Wait. You...You have a plan?" Makoto asked.
"It's all complicated!" Ben countered as the Omnitrix finished recharging. He quickly slammed down on it as he turned into Humungousaur, "Yes!" he cheered before growing to max size.
"He can do that?" Skulker asked, "...Starting to think I might've gone after the wrong prey…"
"Oh, don't you start that again!" Ember complained.
"Woman, let me have this!"
=Do you two need a minute?= Technus asked.
"Shut up!" both snapped.
"...Ignoring the peanut gallery…" Dan muttered as he looked at Humungousaur, "I am gonna have so much fun fighting you...Skayr, you can have the hunk of junk and beast freak! Tennyon's all mine!"
"Excuse you?!" Makoto snapped.
"RAH!" Humungousaur roared as he charged.
The two punched at one another, causing a massive shock wave that shook the very street itself. Dan grunted as he was punched back. He rushed back and slammed an uppercut to the giant alien's stomach, sending him skidding back and crashing into a guilding. Dan smirked before Humungousaur's two hands clapped with him stuck between them. Everyone cringed from the sound as Humungousaur kept adding force trying to crush his enemy. He then grunted as Dan phased out of his hands and blasted him right in the face with a giant beam of energy.
"If he thinks I'm gonna let that 'Beast freak' comment slide, I…!" Makoto began in her rant before dodging a slash from Zs'Skayr with Jenny.
"One problem at a time, Makoto…" Jenny sighed a bit.
"I cannot wait to see the look on Tennyson's face when I present to him your corpse!" Zs'Skayr shouted as he unleashed a green energy wave from one of his tentacles at Makoto.
"Hey! That's not the same trick as last time!" Makoto snapped as she dodged it.
"What can I say...you are what you eat!" Zs'Skayr laughed as his tentacles all began shooting small energy beams making them jump around to avoid them.
"I so hate you…" Makoto complained as she picked up a giant hunk of rubble and tossed it at the Ectonurite who let it hit him.
"Oh that was cute…huh?" he blinked as Makoto grabbed Jenny's hand and swung her around before the robot girl...transformed into a large blaster rifle, "Well...That's unexpected…"
"Ha! Practiced this one!" Makoto snapped before blasting a large blue beam that hit Zs'Skayr with a massive explosion.
"Did it work?" Jenny asked, transforming back to normal.
"It better…" Makoto whispered as the smoke cleared, revealing a semi-injured Zs'Skayr as he panted a bit, "...yes!".
"That...that felt like I was hit by the sun!" the evil Ectonurite snapped.
"That was my idea," Jenny smirked.
"I will enjoy this…!" Zs'Skayr growled, lifting up his scythe as he unleashed a massive corrupted green flaming slash.
"Woah!" Jenny and Makoto freake as they quickly ducked, letting the slash slice an empty building in two, "?!"
"...Oh yeah...Didn't Kajun say that the darker a place is, the stronger an Ectonurite gets?" Jenny recalled.
"...ah acorns…" Makoto muttered, her ears and tail drooping before both yelped as they barely dodged another slash.
"We really need to deal with him," Jenny scowled.
"Agreed," Makoto frowned, "Only issue is how to get sunlight on him. I mean, the moment we try that again, he'll do somethin' to stop it, like telekinesis or that scythe of his or something!"
"...oh!I got something!" Jenny gasped before whispering something to Makoto.
"..oh...oh I see...oh me likey~" Makoto grinned, "Let's do it."
Jenny nodded as she flew right towards Zs'Skayr.
"Foolish, automaton! You think rushing to me will w-!" the Ectonurite began before Jenny...pulled a camera in her colors out, "?"
"Say cheese~"
*FLASH!*
"GAH! IT BURNS!" Zs'Skayr hissed, using his arms to shield himself as he dropped his scythe, "What was that?!"
"UV Rays...You should be familiar since I kept flashing you with back when you and Ben were one."
"You insol…" Zs'Skayr began.
*FLASH-FLASH-FLASH!*
"GYAAAARGH!" he screeched as smoke began to come off his body, "The light burns!"
"Hey ghosty!" Zs'skayr looked down to see Makoto holding his scythe, "I got your weapon...but-oops..."
*CRUNCH!*
"It broke," Makoto smirked, letting the sawdust and crushed metal that used to be Zs'Skayr's scythe fall to the ground.
"Oh, you…"
*FLASH-FLASH-FLASHITY-FLASH-FLASH!*
"HHHHGRKGRKGKRGRK!" he cried out as his body ignited in flames, "IT BURNS~!"
"Nice touch," Makoto noted, motioning to the mirrors Jenny had deployed from extending her pigtails to behind Zs'Skayr.
"Thanks."
"You insufferable whenchs!"
"Huh...Guess I underestimated Tennyson's f-" Dan began before Humungousaur punched him, sending him crashing into a car, "...heh. Thank you, sir...may I have another?"
"RAH!" Humungousaur roared as he looked around before giving an annoyed sigh, "Forget it...rolling with the joke!" he spoke before punching both hands down and into two cars; he curled his hands, folding the vehicles around his fists as he bashed them together.
"That is...unnecessarily destructive…" Dan muttered, "And that's coming from...Oh crap!" he cried as he was punched through several walls, the makeshift boxing glove exploding due to the impact sending him flying.
"I am the vehicle destroyer!" Humungousaur roared.
"...You got that from that one Hulk movie, didn't you?" Makoto asked.
"Makoto!" he complained, punching Dan as soon as he got up, "Now is not the time!"
"Who says I'm complaining? That was awesome!"
"Hahaha...Okay...have to agree with your woman!" Dan laughed.
"Not His/My Woman!" both snapped.
"Hmm. Could have fooled me."
"SHUT UP!" Humungousaur and Makoto shouted as they punched him in unison, sending him rocketing into the sky.
"Oh...this is so much fun! If I knew your weird friends were so fun...I would have left them alive!" Dan laughed, forming energy orbs in his hands, "But let me show you how I got rid of them in my time." he spoke while letting them float upwards into the air as they began growing.
"...Oh, he's pulling a Frieza…" Makoto whispered as her ears drooped.
"Nah...I prefer a little more controlled…" he smirked as the orbs began expelling a multitude of smaller beams down like rain.
"Everyone move it!" Humungousaur shouted.
Everyone there tensed as they began to avoid the multitude of lasers that rained down on the area, some even hitting some of Dan's army while Zs'Skayr avoided a few.
"Stop firing, you idiot!" the Ectonurite shouted at Dan.
"Why? I'm having too much fun!"
"Grr!" Humungousaur growled, slapping the Omnitrix as he turned to Diamondhead.
He slammed his hands down as giant pillars of crystal began erupting from the ground and began bouncing the beams around and away from everyone. He then grunted as he raised his hands up and lifted the crystals up into the air via some sort of telekinetic control.
"Wow…" Makoto awed for a second.
"HA!" Diamondhead roared while punching his fist upward, sending the giant crystals flying at Dan.
"Yes! This is what I'm talking about!" Dan shouted as he punched one of the pillars, making it shatter; he then grunted as two struck him sending him up higher...then two more struck him, and then another pair struck. He grunted as more and more giant crystals slammed into one another before causing a giant explosion.
"They explode?" Skulker paused for a moment.
"If I want them to," Diamondhead explained with a shrug.
"Okay, seriously! You gotta…!" Makoto began before barely dodging a laser from Ghostfreak, "Gah! Oh right...Forgot about the tentacles…"
"Diamondhead…" Zs'Skayr growled, "Deep down one of your favorites. And the one you've mastered the most, Ben...well second most."
"Grr…" Diamondhead growled at that.
"I bet you could beat us...as him?" he taunted on.
"?!"
"Oh? A form even I don't know about?" Dan asked with an intrigued grin.
"Yes...Ben called this form F-" Zs'Skayr began before he was punched hard in the face, sending him rocketing into Dan as the two crashed into a wall.
"Sorry, but that's on a 'nobody else needs to know' bases," Makoto frowned as she landed, her fist clenched.
"Makoto?"
"Sorry...but nobody messes with my friends like that and gets away with it," Makoto stated as she hopped near Diamondhead.
"Oh, and now I'm just upset you held out on me, Ben," Dan spoke, pushing Zs'Skayr off as he marched forward, his hands and eyes glowing.
"Well I'm sorry to disappoint. Actually, no I'm not. You seem like a really evil prick." Diamondhead spoke marching forward as well as the two squared off eye to eye and face to face.
Dan looked up at the slightly taller Diamondhead as the two glared at one another. The two growled as they suddenly swung at each other. The two grunted as Diamondhead's literal diamond hard fist struck Dan's face, while the evil ghost empowered his hand with energy, making the alien stumble back a step. The two growled as they began trading blows back and forth. Dan blocked a swing from Diamondhead before uppercutting him. Diamondhead was sent skidding back only for him to swing his hand down and stop himself. Dan grunted as a diamond pillar shot from under the ground and struck his chin, sending him flying up. Diamondhead roared, pushing his hand deeper as he formed a path of diamond pillars he used as stairs to meet Dan in the middle of the air.
The two punched one again as their fists clashed with one another while in the air. Both grunted as Diamondhead began reinforcing his fist; Dan did the same as his fist began glowing. As the force of their arms grew, a bubble of what looked like pressure formed from the points their fists were clashing. The two were suddenly blown back as it exploded outward. Diamondhead grunted as he began regrowing his arm while Dan smirked as his arm reformed from smoke.
Diamondhead landed as Dan charged at him. He held his arm out as a crystal spyr shot out of the ground and speared Dan. The evil ghost grinned as he dissolved into a smoke like form as he moved around all the spikes Diamondhead formed. Dan reformed in front of Diamondhead and slammed both hands into the sides of his head before unleashing his eco energy in the form of electricity. The Petrosapian growled in pain raising his arms up. He suddenly gripped his hands as he sharpened the edges of his forearms before swinging them down and cutting through Dan's arms. Dan laughed before grunting as Diamondhead put his name to use and slammed his head into his nose.
Dan skid back as his arms reformed the same way as before. He smirked and took a breath only to grunt as Diamondhead rushed and slammed his left hand into his mouth, his crystal fingers growing and meeting behind his head to form a muzzle. Dan's eyes widened as Diamondhead held his right hand back and grew it into a flowering cup-like pattern. Dan looked back as Makoto held up Jenny in her giant blaster form again. The evil ghost cried in surprise as the beam blasted into Diamondhead's other hand and was absorbed into his body, making him glow bright blue.
'OH….CRAPBA-!' Dan realized as the muzzle around his face began glowing until a powerful explosion of energy swallowed most of his upper torso.
"GAH!" Zs'Skayr cried as the flash of light made him back away.
"That...was…" Makoto began.
"Don't jinx it!" Diamondhead snapped as smoke began slowly reforming until Dan reformed...only his hair was mostly gone.
"Damn it…" he grunted as he held his breath for a moment and reignited his hair.
"Oh come on!" Makoto complained, "What hurts you!?"
"Not a whole lot, I tell ya!" Dan laughed, "But that did sting, Ben. Maybe this version of you is more fun than I gave ya credit for."
"You can hurt us all you want, but you can't stop us...not this time!" Zs'Skayr growled.
"No...I can't stop both of you," Diamondhead spoke, "I can't do this alone. I've never done it alone." he spoke simply, "That's why I wasn't doing this to stop this on my own. I was waiting for Danny to get us one more bit of help."
"What?" Dan asked before crying in pain as a green sound wave blast struck him, sending him flying off as he cried in pain.
"Gh...ah…" Danny breathed, his hair turning back to black for a moment before he shook his head, returning it to normal.
"Just one blast?" Dan grunted, "You think that's enough to take me down, Mini-Me?" he growled before grunting as a pink beam struck him burying him into some rubble, "Oh...that's gonna cost you some…" he growled, floating up and staring at Vlad, "Whatcha doing, V-Man?" he growled.
"Lets just say...I've learned what you haven't fully told me," Vlad replied with a scowl.
"Oh, is this about the ripping out your ghost powers and taking them for myself?" Dan asked, "Cause if so...you're a few years too late to cry about it in my universe." he smirked.
"Ha!" Vlad roared, blasting at Dan who swatted the beam away with the back of his hand.
"What's wrong? I thought you wanted to kill my stupid old man?" Dan arched an eyebrow, "I thought you'd love this chance? I mean...unfortunately I'd have to kill the rest of my family to but...oh...now I get it, this is about you still creeping on my mom. News flash Vlady...she's as dumb as my dad and you never realized it." he smirked, blasting at Vlad who blocked it with a shield.
"You truly are the most vile monster I've ever met...and that is coming from me." Vlad growled.
"Oh what? Now you care about people? Mister I overshadowed all the richest guys in the world and made them sign their companies over to me?" Dan countered, "Let's face it, Vlad...if not for me, you were one world domination scheme away from losing any shred of humanity you had left."
"Grr…" Vlad growled punching at Dan who avoided each swing.
"Oh what's wrong? Finally hit a nerve?" he asked, rearing his hand back and punching him sending him shooting away and into a building, "You're right Vlad, I learned a lot from you. Now take in the results of your hard work!"
"If my options are an annoying teenager who barely understands how to pass highschool and a monster who murders the only things that matter to me...I'll take the stupid teenager failing math," Vlad replied.
"Hey...I'm getting a D!" Danny argued.
"My point exactly, Danny!"
"Oh how cute...you've gone from villain to Anti-Villain…" Dan laughed, "The irony of this is not beyond me...but then again I still don't even know how to use that word." he spoke, catching a punch from Danny before grunting as Vlad punched him, "Grr!" he growled happily as he punched Vlad before swinging his hand and backhanding Danny.
The two half-ghosts grunted as they flew back and tackled into Dan tackling him through several buildings. Dan roared unleashing a burst of energy knocking them away. He held his hands up and blasted them both making them cry in pain. He then held his left fist up as a sphere of energy formed around it, he twisted his body around as he swung his arm back across his chest before twisting back and slamming the back of his fist into Danny's side as the energy exploded and sent him flying back. Vlad roared as he slammed an energized fist into Dan's face. Vlad flinched as Dan growled and looked up at him.
Vlad cried as he was sent flying back and crashing into Danny. Both groaned, pushing themselves up as Dan marched towards them. The two looked at each other before turning back to their shared enemy with looks of determination.
"Ah…." Dan took a deep breath.
"Ah…" Danny did the same.
"Ghostly Wail!" at that, both unleashed their strongest attack as both green sound waves collided with one another, the clash resonating outward from the meeting point.
Vlad floated up as he appeared behind Dan. He grunted as three Black rings formed and created three more Vlads. Each cupped their hands together and fired highly concentrated beams that struck Dan's back, making him falter for a second, making Danny's Ghostly Wail push his back slightly.
Dan grunted as his cape seemed to come to life before splitting into four sections that all grew and extended into four clones of himself. The clones growled as they blasted back against the Vlad's. The Vlad clones lost their beam struggles as they were blasted and sent flying back. The Real Vlad grunted as the clones surrounded him and began punching him from every angle.
"Come on! Do you really think you can gang up on me and try to make me lose the scream struggle?!" one of the Dan clones laughed, "Oh you two are sadly mistaken!"
"Gh…" Vlad grunted as he was held by one of the clones so the others could continue to beat him.
"It's cute you think that the two of you can stop me! I'm both your powers and more!" the clones laughed.
"Maybe…" Vlad grunted as they stopped for a moment, "But you've only had my powers for ten years…" he went on as his three clones grabbed the three who where beating him, "While I've mastered a few more small tricks…" he smirked as his clones began glowing with energy, "Like overloading my duplicates for a stinging explosion."
"...ah sh-" one of the Dan clones began before the Vlad clones holding all three exploded, the resulting shockwave causing the real Dan to stagger a bit.
"And as for you…" Vlad grabbed the last Dan clone before tossing him back at the original, "This is for trying to fool me!" he roared, blasting a beam of pure purple light at the clone, sending it into the original and forcing it to remerge with him. Vlad then swung the remains of his cape letting him Teleport behind Danny, "Ha!" he grunted, putting his hand to his back and channeling his energy into the younger Half-Ghost.
"AH!" Danny roared as his Ghostly Wail grew stronger and began taking a pattern of Green, Blue, and Purple rings.
"?!" Dan tensed as Danny's Ghostly Wail started overpowering his to the point it was starting to come back towards him.
"You're right about one thing, Dan…" Vlad spoke, "I do still have a shred of humanity left...and while I despise Jack Fenton with every fiber of my being and every dollar to my name...I don't want him to die...that is not the satisfying conclusion I desire after what he did to me. So...I'm sad to say that our partnership...is over!" he grunted, channeling even more energy into Danny, causing the Ghostly Wail to grow even stronger.
'?! ...N...no...not again!' Dan thought in rage as Danny's Ghosty Wail shattered his and slammed into him, 'I can't be losing again!'
"Grr...must I do everything mys-" Zs'Skayr began, about to unleash a beam before Makoto grabbed his wisp, "?!"
"Oh no you don't!" Makoto snapped as she swung him around and tossed him away, "Ben, Jenny, now!"
"Huh?" he grunted as he slammed into...NRG.
"Hello…" he spoke as Jenny yanked the top open.
"Whoa!" she cried as the real NRG climbed out while unleashing a bright red light that made Zs'Skayr cry in pain.
"I imagine this must sting...Nuclear light is rather bright and hot is it not?" NRG asked, "Ya...it's hot!" he laughed, raising his hand and slapping Zs'Skayr, sending him flying down to the ground.
"Ah...you had a form like this!?"
"Yeah...but I never like taking the suit off," NRG replied, floating down and crossing his arms as he flashed brighter, "I just realized this might be a good alien to fight you with since he's always producing light. I'm not that smart!" he laughed, "But...I still stopped so called genius monsters like you, Zs'Skayr…" he replied, walking towards him as the Ectonurite cried in pain, "I imagine you'd love to go back to the Ghost Zone right about now, no?" he held a hand up, forming a ball of energy, "But I can't let you go back there...yeah, they are dead...and probably all a bunch of jerks and really annoying losers..."
"HEY!" many ghosts on his side complained.
"But they live there...and you are a major threat to them," NRG continued.
"So what...are you going to destroy me!? Finally cross that line?" Zs'Skayr taunted trying to find any method of turning this into a win for himself.
"Oh heavens no...this...is to blast you into range for Mai's surprise," he explained.
"What!?" Zs'Skayr asked as the ball hits the ground causing a burst of heat and light that sent him flying back and right into a blue beam of a familiar device, "NO!"
"Hey jerkface…" Danny huffed walking up to a coughing Dan, who's costume was tattered and his hair blown out once more, "Next time? Stay in the stupid Thermos!" he shouted as his hand began glowing before he punched Dan, sending him flying back and into the same beam.
"We got 'em!" Mai shouted as Noel helped her aim the larger than normal Thermos.
Once both occupants were sucked in, Noel slammed the cap on as it began spinning to seal into place. Latches closed along the sides as well. A section even slid up to prevent the small little crevice from being exposed, further sealing the device closed. It beeped a few times, revealing a final electric lock for best measures.
"Is it over?" Noel asked slowly as it shook slightly with muffled screaming coming from within.
"Give me one more minute." NRG spoke, flying up into the air, "Come on. We need to destroy the things blocking the sun!"
"I'll…I'll let you guys handle that." Danny panted as he and Vlad changed back to their human selves due to energy depletion, "I...whoo boy…"
"I...I am starting to get too old for this…" Vlad heavily panted, "Th...the machine...is at my mansion...rooftop…"
"I'mma blow it up!" NRG shouted flying off.
"I wanna see! I wanna see!" Makoto shouted, holding Jenny's hand as they flew after him.
"You destroy my mansion, I…oh forget it..too tired to yell…" Vlad groaned as he plopped down. He then looked up to see the other Ghosts, Rook, and the others staring down at him, "...ugh...go ahead...lock me up or whatever. I'll just get out eventually anyways…"
"Oh brother..." Dani shook her head.
"Our debts are repaid, Ghost boy," Skulker spoke.
"I'm not gonna let you go next time any of you show up." Danny replied.
"And likewise...I still want to mount your head over my mantle," Skulker replied.
"Who's mantle...ours?" Ember asked.
"Woman!" he growled.
=Again, back w...nevermind. I need to take another bath= Technus spoke.
"?! Wait, don't…!" Skulker began before Technus flew out of him, causing his body to glitch and sputter before the suit ejected Skulker out, "TECHNUS!"
"Can you guys just go home already…?" Danny sighed.
"Yes...and next we meet…." Fright Knight spoke, lifting his sword, "Your head is mine."
"Hey!" Skulker complained.
"Shut it…" Ember sighed.
"Agreed. I am getting a migraine from all this yelling…" Desiree muttered as the ghost flew off.
"As for you…" Rook began as he lifted Vlad up, "You more or less started all this...and yet you helped stop it…yet you still caused harm to a Plumber Agent and helped bring back an incredibly dangerous criminal..."
"Is there a point here, or can you just read me my rights so I can call a lawyer…?" Vlad sighed.
"Ehem well then...very good."
"Chadzmuth…" Vlad pulled out a phone.
"Oh you have to be kidding me…" Rook and Tsubaki deadpanned.
"Let's see…" Tucker muttered, checking off things on his PDA, "That's all of them except for...ha…Box Ghost."
"Honestly didn't see him back at the battle," Sam noted, "...I guess he decided to hide back in the Ghost Zone or something."
"Or he's hiding in that store for moving supplies again," Danny sighed.
"Maybe…" Tucker shrugged, "Least there's nothing in the way of Halloween this time...still...wish Ben and the others could've stayed longer."
"Hey. They have their own things back in Bellwood," Danny argued.
"True, but dude! It would've been cool if you joined them! Fighting both ghosts and aliens...think of the rep you'll get!"
"Yeah...because the last time I got rep turned out so well…" Danny rolled his eyes, "Besides, how can they recruit me? It's not like i'm gonna be suddenly enrolled in some special school or something."
"...you…"
"I know. I might've jinxed it, Sam…" Danny sighed, staying silent for a few moments as he waited for something to happen, "...huh. Would've expected a phone call or somethi-"
"Well, I did get Ben's number if we ever need their help." Tucker spoke, "And uh...with our lives. I bet I'll call 'em up next week."
"..." Sam opened her mouth to say something snarky.
"It's only Ben's…" he cut her off.
"Knew it…" Sam smirked.
"I shouldn't have opened my mouth…" Danny muttered.
"Hoo...finally glad to take a break for a change, " Ben sighed in relief as he stood at a party taking place in the park, dressed up as Spiderman...albeit in an altered version of said superhero's outfit due to the large White Spider on his torso and white patches on his arms and boots, "Also, I gotta thank Makoto for suggestions on the Spidey suit...I look awesome!"
"I still do not understand these...costumed parties here on Earth for this holiday," Rook muttered.
"I keep telling you they are fun," Ben argued, his masks's eyes shrinking in annoyance, "Didn't you have parties on your home planet?"
"Yes...but it was to celebrate a bountiful harvest," Rook argued, "This...I do not understand this Halloween."
"...eh. You'll get used to it," Ben shrugged, "...wonder where Makoto is anyway? She's the one who set up this party any…"
"She said she had to get ready," Mai answered as she walked by, dressed up as Lucina from Fire Emblem once more.
"Ready? Ready for what?"
"Her costume of choice," Tsubaki stated, wearing a Valkyrie outfit again.
"Seriously?" Ben blinked at that, "...It can't be that hard to put on...can it?"
"Tail…" Tsubaki reminded, "It's been rather limiting in terms of clothing options she hadn't modified over the years."
"Ahh."
"Hoo! Finally done!" Makoto's voice exclaimed.
"Hmm?" Ben blinked as he turned to see Makoto, "?!"
"...what?" Makoto blinked, dressed in a rather popular hero costume of her own.
She wore a orangish-brown colored shoulderless corset like top with a fur lining around the V neck lining which stopped just above her cleavage, matching colored shorts covered her waist with a yellow military pouch belt melding the meeting line of the two pieces of clothing making it look like one article of clothing, a pair of grayish-brown tights under her shorts, connecting to her grey boots that stopped just short of her knees with the same fur lining around the cuffs as her top, she wore a tan jacket with the sleeves rolled up, and was short in length stopping just under her chest, to finish her costume she wore a black hairband modified to fit around her natural animal ears, with a small pair of fake acorn earrings clipped to sair ears.
"...I got something on my cheek?" she asked.
"...uh…" Ben muttered before smacking himself, "You look great!"
"Oh...thanks!" Makoto beamed, "Figured since you were going with a Marvel Character, I might as well go with one too! Hmm and a perfect one at that! The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl!"
"But...Isn't that what Ragna calls you?" Rook asked.
"Yes, but she's a legit character from the Marvel comics," Makoto stated, "She even beat the likes of Dr. Doom and Thanos!"
"Wha!?" Ben gawked, "...you're lying."
"Oh no, it's true," Makoto gave a squirrely smirk in response, "All with an army of squirrels."
"...That...cannot be possible," Rook noted, "How can you defeat someone with an army of squirrels?"
"Have them jump in your armor and clothing…" Makoto replied.
"...Yeah, that would do it," Ben nodded.
"I...nevermind. Comment retracted then…" Rook sighed as he walked off.
"Heh heh…" Makoto grinned a bit before looking over at a part of the crowd, "oh! Looking good, Jen!"
"Thanks!" Jenny waved, dressed as Ami from HiHi Puffy AmiYumi as she stood near Noel, "Noel helped pick this one out! …Though Kajun said it would make more sense if I had a Yumi with me."
"I...I would've offered, but...well…" Noel began, dressed in a red bodysuit with black dots all over it, a yoyo on her hip in the same motif, her hair pulled into two ponytails, and a domino mask in the same red and black spot coloration, as she meekly poked her fingers together, "I'm...not exactly the type of person to act like her…"
"So what is with this outfit, Noel?" Ben asked.
"An old show that's not supposed to come out for a few more years," Makoto replied, "Noellie's the Miraculous Ladybug of Paris, France. It's Noellie's favorite old cartoon back in our time."
"Ah, I'm so happy Kajun had her tablet with her when she got pulled into this time," Noel sighed happily.
"You're welcome," Kajun said as she walked by, dressed in a white buttoned shirt with long puffy sleeves, a purple bowtie, a black dress that was opened in the back with the traps in an 'x' pattern, black stockings, and high white boots with purple laces as she was looking at her mentioned tablet, a pair of glasses with purple hexagonal lens on her face, "Hmm...interesting…"
"Come on, Kajun. Put that thing away and enjoy the party," Makoto spoke, 'Besides...we haven't even gotten to the best part yet…'
"Let me guess, another thing coming out in the future?" Ben guessed.
"Yup. I won't say what series it's from though," Makoto replied with a grin.
"Eh, fair," Ben shrugged.
"Hmm...everything seems calm…" Tsubaki muttered, "...Makoto, what are you planning?"
"Hmm?"
"Everything seems too calm…" Tsubaki stated with a frown, "...You're planning something, aren't you?"
"What? No, I'm not," Makoto replied with a small laugh, "It's just a normal costume party for Halloween. I swear."
"...You're gonna try and scare us again, aren't you?"
"Nope."
"...Jenny, Noel, Mai?"
"Whatcha need?" Jenny asked.
"Did Makoto ask you for anything odd?"
"Odd? Odd how?"
"Odd like…" Tsubaki began before the lights went off...before they came back on as everyone was black and white...like a panda, "?!"
"...Tsubaki?"
"P….p….p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p…" Tsubaki stammered before she ran off for the nearest tree, "EEEEYAAAAAAAAAAA!-!-!-!-!-!-!"
"...Makoto…" Mai frowned.
"I swear to god it was supposed to be meant for her...the lights shining down on her I mean," Makoto immediately raised her hands up.
"What the heck?! How did I go Mr. Negative?!" Ben asked.
"Quite unusual," Kajun noted, focusing on her tablet.
"..." Jenny's arm extended and grabbed the tablet before shooting back to her, "Camouflage Mode?"
"Uh-oh. The jig's up," Makoto squeaked
"...Kajun, why?" Mai asked.
"A free pass on not being scared or multiple attempts at being scared by her," Kajun replied.
"...KAJUN FAYCOTT! MAKOTO NANAYA!" Tsubaki's voice snapped.
"...Quick, Kajun! Deploy the Panda Fazbear we put in the tree!" Makoto panicked.
"The Panda what?" Ben raised a brow at that before a mechanical screech went off in the tree Tsubaki was in.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!-!-!-!" Tsubaki screamed as she bolted out of the tree, "EEEEEEEVILLL!-!-!-!"
"...What the heck did you two do?" Ben asked.
"Oh, Makoto went to the scrapyard to get the materials and I provided the programming," Kajun replied as a robotic panda in a tophat, cufflinks, a microphone in a paw, and a bowtie crawled out of the tree.
"...That's a freaky 'bot," Jenny commented, "I know he's a robot, but still…"
"So why just her?" Mai asked as Kajun had the panda robot wave at them.
"Because last week she swiped my chestnut smoothie," Makoto replied.
"...Seriously?"
"Hey. You don't mess with someone's smoothie," Makoto argued.
"Yup," Ben agreed as the two fist bumped, "...Still, girls?"
"Yeah?"
"Get rid of the robot panda before she comes back," Ben deadpanned.
"...Maybe I should've gone up there for that party…" Ragna muttered as he looked up at the 'ceiling' of Undertown, "...nah. Big chance I'd encounter the Usagi or something...or worse, gh-"
"BOO!"
"Hmm?" Ragna raised a brow as he turned...to the face of Box Ghost, "?!"
"I AM THE BOX…!" Box Ghost began before he was suddenly uppercutted, sending him rocketing away, "GHOST?!"
"Was that a ghost?!" Ragna freaked, "...nope. Nope! NOPE! Not dealing with this shit! Absolutely NOT!"
SZ: and with that, another arc is finished..and next tiem is a BIG ARC!
Z0: *sealed in straight jacket armor with a Hannibal Lecter mask* I am sealed away till next time...hehehehehehe…AHAHAHAHAHAHA!
SZ: 0-0….GT, get the sleeping darts!
GT: Oh, I had to use them on OverNerd. But don't worry. I have something that will knock him out. *puts on a Duel Disk* Red Daemons Dragon, if you'd please? *a large dragon's fist hits Z0, burying him into the ground* Thank you.
Z0: Ahahahaha….*rises up as the restraints begin cracking and breaking* I Lied...I'm going wild again…*voice becomes demonic* Run…
GT: Ah well. I tried. Bye-bye. *vanishes to outside of Z0's influence*
SZ:...Read and review folks!*Runs outside of Z0's influence..and insanity*
Z0: Happy Halloween~ *rips open hole in reality leading straight to GT and SZ* I'm back!
SZ: AHHH~!
GT: *in a dimension Z0 can't stand even in his wild state* Happy Halloween, folks.
SZ:...WAIT! We forgot to address something important, specifically involving a certain series Noel's costume is from.
GT: Oh, right. Well, since it's a costume and implied to be a series in-universe...that means that we will not be using Miraculous Ladybug as a hero in this.
Z0: *back to normal* Yes, we talked it over and realized...this world is already pretty freakin nuts! So some of the many possible shows we could use have to be cut for I guess balancing. We rightly can't put everything in without things getting absolutly bat shit insane. I mean as of now...we have Super sentient Teenage robots, Aliens with powers beyond imagination...and now Ghosts with super powers...we...uh yeah we need to draw a goddamn line in the sand somewhere.
GT: Especially with how the enemies are made in Ladybug. That...yeah, that is a major issue. Especially if an Akuma was made from Ben via the Omnitrix AKA the dang watch that is indestructible outside of its own Self Destruct mechanism.
SZ: Yeah...that...yeah.
Z0: Also I don't think we want to beg the question of more intense VS scenarios. Even if we are just like to totally avoid that...there are some shows where if we bring in all their elements...and take into account the villians In this world...oh no, that's not good. I'm just...bad in how I take advantage of what I have available but...even I know that's too much chaos.
SZ: Yeah...take it from our resident action scene master...so we'll try and limit to what we can use in this story…
Z0: Yes, but don't worry this is a show that used the Multiverse, so...pretty much any suggestion or question like: What If… the answer is simple: It's all a God damn big ass 'Maybe'.
GT: Indeed. So until next time, please read and review. And Happy Halloween to the readers who celebrate the holiday.
SZ: Later guys!
Z0: Back to trying to murder my friends *puts on mask* Gotcha bitch! *swings sword at them*
