{"THE KING OF ALL SHOWS!"}


*Now, outside of the town, there is a sign that says "Amity Park - A Nice Place to Live!". Unfortunately, that nice place to live is now encased in an ectoplasmic dome with no way out whereas on the football field of Casper High, Danny flies up and crashes into the dome. Carrie attempts to blast a hole through with an ecto-blast, but it deflects it where Valerie then flies over to the sword and attempts to grab it, but is pushed away by Fright Knight. She faints as she hits the ground with her hunter garb retracts, revealing herself to be seriously beaten.*

Danny and Carrie: Valerie!

Vlad: My pawn! *Notices the look both teens are giving him* I mean, that poor girl…

*The three fly down to take a look at the injured Valerie until the Fright Knight's voice is heard.*

Fright Knight: The sword has sunk, your die now cast, The sword removed shall signal fast. Make reappear, the Ring thou hast, or your next day shall be your last…

*The Spirit of Halloween then disappears in a puff of smoke and bats. Vlad, Danny, and Carrie take cover from the bats (both half-covering each other) while the skeleton army remains motionless.*

Danny: 'The Ring thou hast'?

*Vlad shrugs uncertainty which causes Carrie to let out a scoff.*

Carrie: Oh, come on, you caused this mess, it's obvious you know something about it, old man!

*Soon the voice of Danny's mother, Maddie is heard through a microphone out of the large vehicle.*

Maddie: Children of Amity Park! Report to the safe bosom of the Fenton Family Assault Vehicle!

*As the vehicle drives over, it smashes through an insert of skeletons, causing all three halfas to become aware of their surroundings (mostly both men as it's someone close to them).*

Danny and Vlad: *Simultaneously* Mom/Maddie! I can't let her see me like this!

*Carrie says nothing but sighs in disappointment before flying away with Danny whilst Vlad disappears in a puff of pink ectoplasmic smoke. And so, both teens hide behind a tree and transform into their human selves before running over to Valerie just as Maddie and Damon do so. The two adults frown at them as if they had something to do with her form of injured state.*

Danny: Uh… She was like that when we got here…

*Not even bothering to investigate this even further, the four kneel over to check on Valerie.*


*Back at Fenton Works where the ghost shield is activated around the home as ghost skeletons roam around the neighborhood, both Sam and Tucker are seated in the living room, on the ground with the TV in front of them where Tiffany Snow is reporting the news that's happening within their town.*

Tiffany Snow: Welcome back to Big Scary Dome Watch! I'm Tiffany Snow. We are in our fourth hour of captivity, and Amity Park remains cut off from the outside world. With more on that, outside the safety of our studio, is our own Lance Thunder… Lance?

Lance Thunder: *To some guy off-screen angrily* Why the heck do I have to do this? I'm a weatherman, for the love of- uhh… *Realizing he's on camera and puts on a smile* Tiffany, despite the odd circumstances, an eerie calm has fallen over Amity Park, emergency teams still having no luck in piercing the dome. *Gestures to men attempting to drill through the dome* Wishing he had taken that job in Chicago, this is Lance Thunder, Action News…

*Just then, once they were finished watching the news down in the laboratory, Danny, Carrie, and Valerie looked back at Maddie and Vlad as the two were working on the Fenton Battlesuit while Joyce was kindly nursing Jack back to health.*

Maddie: This suit is the only hope we have to punch through that dome. But I still don't think we'll be able to perfect the neural receptors…

Jack: Which is why I'll wear the suit. If anyone's gonna beat that ghost back into the Ghost Zone, *Stands up* it's me.

*However, the effort weakens him considerably.*

Maddie: No, Jack, look at you! You're still wiped out from the last time!

Joyce: *Grabs the cup and coaster* I'll make you some more tea.

Danny: *Leans over to Vlad* It kills ya, doesn't it? *Smugs* How much they love each other?

Vlad: I have other things to worry about and so do you.

Carrie: *Scoffs* Like, what? *Glares* Changing your profile status to desperately single?

Vlad: Of course not!

*After he expresses this, Jack attempts to walk away, but Vlad sticks out his leg as he walks by, making the big man trip.*

Vlad: And yet, I will always have time for that. Besides, *Leans his head down towards Carrie* I didn't meet your mother on a boring, old website now, did I?

*Carrie says nothing but scowls angrily at her father, whilst Valerie has made her way up the stairs to Sam and Tuck, who continue to watch the broadcast, now completely stationary. The ghost huntress is still covered in bruises and so, she sits with them, clutching her stomach.*

Tucker: You feeling any better?

Valerie: A little. Though I'm surprised you care… You guys don't like me very much, do you?

Sam: We don't know you very much. And honestly, you used to be pretty mean to us.

*When Sam says this, Valerie looks a bit shocked.*

Sam: You think we're just gonna start hanging out with you without wondering what you want? And… *Eyes gaze down onto the Ring of Rage on her finger* Where you got that ring?

Valerie: That officially falls under the category of none of your business.

*Behind her, Danny and Carrie come up the stairs.*

Danny: Hey, guys!

*Valerie then gives the other two a sly smile and Sam then runs to them and grabs them by the arm angrily.*

Sam: *Speaking very fast* Can I talk to you two for a second?

*When the goth teen hauls him away, she grabs Tucker by the backpack and hauls him too and pushes them into a closet full of Fenton gear and slams the door, then turns on the light.*

Tucker: *To Danny* Yo, man, you guys do know the minute you and Carrie turn into Danny Phantom and Carrie Wraith, she's gonna shoot first and ask questions never.

Danny: She's not gonna find out.

Sam: How do you know she's not snooping right now? *Whispers harshly* What if that ring on her finger is some sort of ghost detection device?

Carrie: *Raises an eyebrow* A ring?

Danny: Yeah, w-what are you talking about?

*Danny then goes, opens the door a crack, looks out, and sees the Ring of Rage on Valerie's finger. The ghost huntress notices Danny looking at her, and waves in a slightly flirtatious manner, causing him to happily wave back before realizing what he's doing and closing the door.*

Danny: Oh, man, that's gotta be the ring the Fright Knight's looking for! Vlad must've given it to her!

Tucker: Isn't he a little old for her?

Carrie: *Scowls at Tucker* Not that way!

Danny: He's obviously using her to hide the ring from the Fright Knight. Something's going on with that ring, and we need to make the ghosts tell us what it is.

*So, he and Carrie stand up and transform. Once they do that, the duo then turns intangible, grabs Sam and Tuck, and they phase through the wall.*


*Now, inside the hunting/sports store, a somewhat similar-looking cardboard cutout of Skulker is staring at a corner. Danny phases up behind him with the Thermos alongside Carrie.*

Danny: We'd much rather kick your butt, but this works too!

*Just as he powers up the Thermos and pulls "Skulker" in (or at least tries) the beam merely passes through the cutout, which falls over. Both teens are so surprised that they don't even notice that the real Skulker has just punched them into some camping gear.*

Skulker: Did you actually think you could sneak upon me?

*The ghost hunter then lunges at the halfas only to slam against the Specter Speeder that was parked by Sam and Tucker. And so, Danny and Carrie become intangible, phase through the floor, and come up right under Skulker with a hard punch that sends him careening toward the ceiling, but activates his rocket boosters at the last second. He sends out some netting towards both teens, who are instantly captured in it. However, they fly around aimlessly, taking Skulker along for the ride, and then phase out right before the crash landing. A baseball helmet falls on his head alongside a ball and bat falling near him. He smiles evilly as he whacks the ball towards Danny, and another towards Carrie, knocking them down. Just when Skulker picks them up, the voice of Sidney Poindexter is heard as he and the other ghosts stand around the room.*

Poindexter: Ix-nay on the ight-fay, Skulker. Maybe they can help us.

Danny: Please, tell us what's going on! Let us help you guys!

Carrie: Yeah, I mean, let us hear you out! We're all ghosts here, aren't we?

Kitty: *From the crowd* It's true!

Carrie: *Smiles with relief* Kitty!

*Resentfully, Skulker puts Danny and Carrie down. But as soon as they are placed down, Kitty rushes out of the crowd and embraces Carrie whereas Danny takes this opportunity to send a hardcore punch at him, which he is thrown backward. Tuck and Sam fly over in the Speeder while Danny is flexing his wrist.*

Sam: How is that helping?

Danny: It's payback. It helps me on the inside.

Carrie: *Singsongy* I told you!~


*Moments later, every ghost (including the humans) is seated, gathered around a fake electric plug-in fire listening to Skulker tell a not-so-fake campfire story.*

Carrie: *Gestures to the fake fire* You know, stories would be better if there was an actual fire?

Danny: *Glances at his partner with a small glare* Care, seriously?

Carrie: What? I'm just sayin'…

Tucker: *Gestures to the room they sat in* We're surrounded by wood, you think building a fire right in the center is a good idea?

Carrie: *Groans and crosses her arms* Whatever…

Skulker: It was many years ago… Before you. Before me. Before most of us. His name was Pariah Dark, and he ruled the Ghost Zone… He was a ghost of such power and magnitude, only he could control the entities contained within the Crown of Fire and the Ring of Rage. When wearing both, he could do anything… Until a group of powerful ancient ghosts banded together in a last-ditch effort to defeat the King. By locking him within the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep. Or so we thought…

Ember: He's only been freed for a day and he's already destroyed our homes.

Carrie: And that's without the Ring… We can't let him get it!

Danny: So me and Carrie are gonna need all of you to help us put the Ghost King to sleep. I'll need you to battle against all odds, face untold danger, doom, and destruction, with no guarantee of ever coming back. *Interlocks his hand with Carrie's and they hold their arms up* WHO'S WITH US?!

*All the ghosts in the room pause for a second before bursting into laughter and floating away, feeling both halfas in an embarrassing moment.*

Kitty: *Puts a hand on Carrie's shoulder as a reassurance and whispers* Just know that I'm with you, Care!

Danny: *Raises an eyebrow, a bit offended* Uh, what about me?

Kitty: *Waves her hand at him* Eh…

*Watching the green-haired ghost fly away, Carrie couldn't help but hold in a laugh and pat Danny's shoulder as Sam and Tucker walked up to them.*

Tucker: You guys should probably take that as a 'No' from the other ghosts…

Carrie: Gee, Foley, ya think?


*Now, at Fenton Works where it is covered by the Ghost Shield while the city is still in its dome. Outside of the home, Vlad is casually leaning against the Specter Speeder, which is parked in the street. Danny and Carrie, both in human form, walk out of the house and up to Vlad.*

Vlad: You two wanted to talk to me?

Danny: You're putting innocent people in danger. It stops. Now.

Vlad: *Smugs evilly* Really? *Laughs a little* You two know what I'm up to? Both of your tiny teen minds have pieced together the rest of my plot?

Carrie: *Scoffs as her eyes glow blue* Oh, the fact that you stole the Ring, woke the Ghost King, gave it to Valerie to hide it, and now you're waiting for your chance to steal it back? I mean, come on… seeing as all the mistakes you made in the past, what makes you think you'll be off the hook from this one, old man?

Vlad: Oh, my, that's pretty good, Caroline. It's almost as though I barely consider you or Daniel a threat.

*Soon, Danny's eyes were next to glow his signature green for merely a second.*

Vlad: *Shaking in mock fear* Oh, and here I thought Caroline's the only one who had a temper, but there's that temper of yours again, dear boy… What are you and her going to do? *Leans in dangerously close to them* What if Valerie sees us, hm?

*And speaking of Valerie, inside Fenton Works, the young ghost huntress is listening by the closet door as she still thinks that the others are in there.*

Valerie: Danny? You guys still in there?

*Now, back outside, Carrie doesn't hesitate but blasts an ecto-blast from her finger that shoots directly at a streetlight, causing darkness to surround the three halfas.*

Vlad: Oh, sugar cookie!

*Within the darkness, Danny is next to blast another ecto-blast from his hand, only this time, it sends Vlad flying right out of the ghost shield with a shout. Once the adult halfa is out, both teens stroll out of the shield, transforming into their ghostly selves to meet up with Vlad whereas Danny is given the opportunity to lunge at Vlad and kick him. He goes flying and crashes into a billboard.*

Vlad: Sneak attack, very good, Daniel. *Transforms and flies away from the billboard* You are getting more like me with every battle.

Danny: I am nothing like you!

*And so, the two teens fly at Vlad and together, they ram the man where soon, the three land right on Casper High's football field owned the Fright Knight's Soul Shredder right in the center.*

Vlad: Oh, you're not? Using your powers to get back at people you don't like? *Stands up* Throwing the first punch? You are more like me than you know, and even Caroline knows seeing as she's grown to be like me already.

Carrie: Get this through your thick, evil skull, old man… even if we are blood-related, I'll never, ever be like you!

Vlad: From time to time, you'll have to join me eventually, darling…

Danny: Oh, yeah? *Stands up, angrily* Well, if that's the case, then instead of asking you to give the ring back, I'll make you!

*He then puts his hand on the handle of the Soul Shredder which causes Vlad to become worried as Carrie could even take notice of her father's expression seeing as her partner's hand is centered around the one item that surrounds the world of chaos.*

Vlad: Daniel, no! The sword is a signal!

Danny: A signal? *Pulls the sword out of the ground* A signal of what?

Carrie: Danny, no-!

*However, it was too late for the father-daughter duo to warn Danny as he had already pulled the Soul Shredder from out of the ground to suddenly have the dome above their heads beginning to crack. Pieces of it fall near people who scream and run away while the three halfas on the football field turn intangible, avoiding pieces of the dome as they fall right through them. The students still waiting on the lawn, plus Danny, Carrie, and Vlad watch as the dome crumbles away, revealing a terrifying sight. Not only has the dome trapped the town, it has now transported it into the Ghost Zone where the skeleton army springs out of it and marches down the streets. The Soul Shredder shakes in Danny's hands and then flies out of them into the hand of Fright Knight where the Spirit of Halloween has brought an even more unwelcome visitor, King Pariah Dark of Ghosts himself.*

Pariah King: Of surrender!

*Danny, Carrie, and Vlad are frozen in their tracks by the sight of the sudden change their world has created. Finding an advantage of this, Pariah Dark fires red ectoplasm at the trio, they shout in pain before reverting back to their human forms. They collapse, unconscious and the King of Ghosts looms over three, and clutches them into his fist, ready to dispose of them permanently until the jumbotron of Amityvision shows Jack and Maddie Fenton where their voices can be heard throughout the entire city.*

Jack: Citizens of Amity Park! This is Jack and Maddie Fenton!

Maddie: *Happily waves* Hi, everybody!

Jack: Malevolent spirits have pulled our entire town into a dimension known to us humans as The Ghost Zone…

*Inside Fenton Works, Damon Gray is typing on the computer from the other side whereas the married couple are doing their broadcast.*

Damon: I'm launching the Ghost Zone probe now.

*He presses a red button and a device flies out of Fenton Works and heads into the unknown fathoms of the Zone.*

Damon: I'm also increasing the Ghost Shield's radius to protect the city.

*The dark-skinned man then pushes a lever up, which expands the Ghost Shields beyond the home. As the shield expands, it pushes all skeletons backward and people are running into the shield, screaming.*

Jack: The fact that we are currently in an alternate form of reality would be a lot cooler if it weren't for the fact that we are all in mortal danger.

*And soon, the Ghost Shield is now covering most of the city.*

Damon: The Ghost Shield's cranked to capacity, and our probe of the Ghost Zone is operational.

*This makes Valerie frown and run away, but grunts in pain after the earlier event for a second before making her way out of the basement, mostly likely to prepare her ghost-hunting ego.*

Maddie: For your own safety, please run under the Fenton Anti-Ghost Shield, *Cheerfully* where our daughter Jazz will be serving tea and cookies! And boys, *Pulls an anxious Jazz on screen* she's single!

Jazz: *Pushes her away in embarrassment* Momm!

Jack: *Comes on screen* But more than anything, know this: This is not my fault! I repeat, THIS IS NOT MY FAULT!

*Once that is claimed by the man in the orange jumpsuit, Pariah Dark has heard enough of this and blasts the screen with a red ecto-blast before directing his attention back onto the unconscious three halfas clutched in his hand.*

Pariah Dark: They're ghosts and humans! *Holds an ectoplasmic ball in the other hand* Is there no end to this day's surprises?

*But just as he is about the fire, an angelic voice is heard from the young ghost huntress herself.*

Valerie: Hey, Stoneface, *Fires ectoplasmic goo from her weapon which lands on Pariah Dark's face* surpriseee!

*He groans as the goo blinds him, then drops Danny, Carrie, and Vlad onto the ground where Valerie flies towards them. Managing to quickly swipe off the goo, Pariah Dark blasts a red ecto-laser from his (non-covered) eye which causes the teen to drop her gun when avoiding the laser and almost lose balance before slamming into a pole and falling to the ground. She sits up to find the King of Ghosts floating right before her and prepares to shoot out a missile from a machine attached to her wrist only to have it shorted out, and shock her.*

Valerie: *Stands up, removes her glove, and holds her wrist in pain* Owww!

*However, the Fright Knight's eyes widened as he didn't expect us to see that the teen was wearing the Ring of Rage right on her finger.*

Fright Knight: The Ring! Give that to the King now!

*Valerie looks down at the ring and removes it, obeying the Spirit of Halloween only to have a plan form within her mind as the moment she takes it off, she reaches from her backpack, pulls out a bazooka and a missile, then attaches the ring on the top of that missile, and places it in the bazooka, ready to fire.*

Valerie: If you want it, *Charges the bazooka* then go get it!

*Once she fires the missile off somewhere, Pariah Dark flies after it, and this allows Valerie to run and grab her hoverboard to fly on it. When she gets on it, the young ghost huntress flies off towards Danny, Carrie, and Vlad, grabs them by the back of their collars, and flies right past the Fright Knight who attempts to slash them with his Soul Shredder only for the teen to successfully get away. However, as she flies away from the football field, the Fright Knight gets on Nightmare and he flies after the four figures, beaming his sword at Valerie which she dodges. Unfortunately, one beam hits one of her hoverboard's boosters, and she goes down, carrying the three halfas, but fortunately, she manages to land it inside the Ghost Shield. The Fright Knight tries to follow her in, but crashes into the shield. As Valerie gets up, uniform ripped and dirty, grabs the three unconscious trio by the backs of her shirts and drags them away as the Spirit of Halloween attempts to break through the shield only to have the Soul Shredder cling against it.*

Fright Knight: *Strikes* This! *Strikes* Is! *Strikes* Not! *Strikes* Over!

*After one last clank, the voice of the King of Ghosts is heard.*

Pariah Dark: Actually, my loyal servant… IT IS!

*Looming over the Fright Knight, Pariah Dark smiles evilly as it turns out, he was able to retrieve the Ring of Rage. The moment he puts it on now acquired both items of power, the power rushes within him. He groans (as if he was in pain) against the sudden change that surrounds his figure where a white flash is shown merely for a second until Pariah Dark is now shown to be at full power, which causes the Fright Knight to bow at the King of Ghosts sight.*

Pariah Dark: Come. We have plans to make. *Stomps off with the Fright Knight close behind as each of his steps is marked by a pool of fire* For soon this… Human world… Will also be mine!

*Back at Fenton Works, a lot of people are crowded outside of the home where Jazz steps out with a tray filled with cookies while Valerie quickly flies into the front window that guides into Danny's room, carrying the two male halfas by the wrists while the female halfa is on her back, piggyback style. She drops Vlad onto a chair, then Danny on his bed, and finally, Carrie on a beanbag. Once they are safely placed down, Valerie retracts her outfit and hoverboard as she is now shown to be beaten more than before.*

Valerie: *Sits against the wall, feeling extremely worn out* Maybe I'll just rest… for a second…

*As soon as she faints, Vlad wakes up. He sees Danny, Carrie, and Valerie, all out cold, but his eyes widen at the first glimpse of the one item not occupied on the ghost huntress' finger.*

Vlad: The Ring! It's gone!

*Soon, he hears Jack and Maddie coming and immediately turns invisible just when they open the door to find the three teenagers asleep.*

Jack: Ah, *Looks at Joyce who is behind them* y'see, Joselin? I told you Carrie was up here with them! What do the kids call it…? Hanging out!

*When Jack and Maddie leave, Joyce stays by the doorframe and glances over at Carrie fast asleep on the beanbag. She sighs in relief to find that her daughter is safe and sound and closes the door. Soon after the three adults are gone, Danny wakes up to find Valerie and gasps just to have Carrie wake up next. Vlad, still invisible, looks at his daughter for a moment before phasing away through the floor and into the basement where Sam and Tucker are, sipping tea.*

Sam: I'm getting worried… We haven't seen Danny, Carrie, or Valerie in hours.

*As the goth teen says this, Vlad sneakily phases through from above the ceiling and into the ground near them just as Jack's voice is heard.*

Jack: *Walks downstairs* Ah, they're fine. They've been up in Danny's room. Alone. For hours!

*Once that's said, Sam drops her teacup (which breaks) and instantly she and Tucker rush up the stairs, all the way to the third floor where Danny's room is located, and burst into the room, finding their two best friends awake while looking down at an unconscious Valerie.*

Sam: Danny! Carrie! You guys are okay! *Gestures to Valerie* Whoa… What happened to her?

Danny: You name it: Fright Knight, Ghost King, Vlad… *Puts his hand on her forehead* All of our enemies. Everything we thought we could handle, but couldn't…

Carrie: And none of it wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for us…

*He removes his hand and Sam and Tucker approach them.*

Tucker: Guys, you can't blame yourselves for this. It's not your fault.

Danny: Maybe not. But it is my responsibility. *Goes ghost*

Carrie: *Raises an eyebrow and goes ghost as well* Uh, I think you mean - our - responsibility, Fenton.

Danny: Not entirely, Care.

*Before the duo can have a discussion about this, they grab each of their friends, turn them intangible, phase through the floor, and go down into the basement. Down there, many authority figures are gathered like the Mayor and the police, among others (including Sam and Tucker's parents) facing Jack and Maddie as the ghost-hunting duo stands by the Fenton Invention battlesuit covered in a tarp.*

Maddie: *Removes the tarp to remove the Ecto-Skeleton completely finished * And while the Ecto-Skeleton can enhance your natural abilities one-hundred fold, using it could be fatal.

Jack: Which is exactly why I'll be using it. Because if the suit's going to be killing anyone, it's gonna be me…

Maddie: *Smacks her husband on the back of his head which causes him to fall* You're already weak from the first time you used the suit. I'll be going in.

Jazz: *Smacks the back of her mother's head next* Forget it, Mom. Danny needs both of you. I'm doing this.

*Suddenly, Jeremy Manson smacks the teen to the ground next.*

Jeremy: I'll do it!

Joyce: Hey! *Smacks the back of his head* That gives you no right to hit a child, Jeremy! *To the group* And if you people think I would volunteer to do it, please, Carrie already lost one parent, I'm not gonna let her lose another!

Pam: *Approaches Joyce with her hands on her hips* Oh, lawyer - shamyer, that doesn't mean you could abuse your power with it by smacking the back of someone's head, Joyce! But in any case, *Smacks the back of her head* I'll do it!

Danny: *Looks at Carrie* I thought we were going to have to blast everybody with a ghost ray, *Smiles a bit* but this is much more efficient.

*The quartet lands safely on the floor, finding the adults (Jazz being the only teen) knocked out after being smacked on the back of their heads multiple times (more when requiring a need of justice).*

Carrie: *Realizes what he's getting out and grabs his shoulders* Wait, Danny, no, you're not doing this alone! You-you just can't!

Danny: Care, do you see any other battlesuit built by my parents anywhere else?

Carrie: *Sighs* No… But I-

Danny: *Grabs the back of her hands that held his shoulders and cuts her off* Then, I'm the only one who has a chance to save our lives.

Tucker: *Points* Somebody oughta tell her that…

*Looking at the direction Tucker's finger is pointing, they find Valerie is suddenly awake and already up and running in her hunting garb by finally having to knock out the mayor.*

Danny: I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you to step away from the suit!

Valerie: *Drops the mayor* Back off, spook! I don't know how you or your little girlfriend got inside the Fentons' Ghost Shield, but this is my fight!

Danny: No, it's not. *Flies over to her* Not anymore.

*Soon, Damon, Valerie's father, walks in, and gasps, dropping some of the tools he was holding when having to take in the scene of the unconscious group as two figures stood there, clearly fine and conscious.*

Damon: *Shocked* Hey! What's going on in here?

*Having to quickly hide behind Sam and Tucker to revert back into her human form, Carrie sadly glances at Danny before sneaking out of the basement with them, leaving Danny and Valerie to deal with this themselves.*

Valerie: *Points a stern finger at Danny* You're not the boss of me!

*Without a warning, Danny's hand raises to suddenly flip the hood off of Valerie's. She shrieks and holds her face as she has her identity revealed right in front of her father.*

Danny: *Smirks* No. But he is…

Damon: Valerie?!

Valerie: *Screams* AAAAHH! You're dead for this, you hear me?! DEAD!

*She growls in anger before whipping out some ecto-guns, ready to fire them at Danny until her father grabs her away and tries to hold her down. Danny flies up, grabs the suit, goes intangible, and flies the suit through the roof, leaving Damon to have a huge discussion about what had just happened right before his eyes.*

Damon: You've been battling ghosts? All this time? Are you okay?

Valerie: I'm… *Sighs and calms down* I'm fine…

*Glad to hear this, Damon puts her down in relief until the real discussion hasn't begun in his case only to have it start off with an angry lecture.*

Damon: THEN YOU ARE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE!


*Meanwhile, up on the roof of his house, Danny has the Ecto-Skeleton standing right in front of him. He flies up to the top, takes off the glass covering, and transforms back into his human half. He jumps in as the hatch closes behind him, and he grabs the controls.*

Danny: Activate neural receptors…

*The neural receptors come out and snap onto his spine where on a little screen, it shows the battery and how much percentage of energy he has.*

Danny: Initiate powerup sequence…

*He pulls back on the controls and the suit begins charging and the battery's gauge goes from 88% to 90%. He pushes down on what looks like a gas pedal and within time, he is fully connected to the battlesuit; the battery continues to fill.*

Danny: Yeah, there we go.

*Soon, behind him, Sam, Tucker, and Carrie open the door onto the roof, practically spying on the teen in the battlesuit.*

Danny: *Notices them and smirks* I can see you over there, you know…

Carrie: *Turns invisible* No, you can't.

*They push the door open wider and run over to him.*

Sam: Danny, please.

Carrie: *Becomes visible* Yeah, there has to be another way, I mean, come on, we've beaten tons of ghosts, why should this fight include an energy-draining battlesuit?

Danny: C'mon, guys. You didn't think it was always going to be as easy as shoving the Box Ghost into the Fenton Thermos, did you? I'll be back.

Tucker: Your mom used the word 'fatal.'

Danny: Guys, I'll be back. *Looks down at Carrie who eyes away in a bit of sadness* But… *Kneels down in front of her* If there's anything you wanted to say to me… Now might be an excellent time to do it.

*After this is said, Carrie's eyes widen a bit, but figures, seeing as if this might be the only (possible chance) to confess, it might as well be now.*

Carrie: Well, uh, there's a lot on my mind, and, *Tugs on her pigtails* I, uh…

Sam: *Places her hands on Carrie's shoulders in a reassuring gesture* We'll be back inside there, *Grabs Tucker's arm and drags him towards the door* just act like we're not even around…

*Once their two human friends are "out of sight", this gives both halfas to stand in an awkward moment of silence until Danny finally decides to break it.*

Danny: If it's gonna take long, then, I might as well let this thing charge up in the meantime…

*He has the Ecto-Spine detach from him and the glass top flips off to allow Carrie to revert back into her ghost self, and float up to properly speak with him, which allows their eyes to be met while the female halfa is anxiously still tugging on her pigtails until she finally decides to pull herself together.*

Carrie: *Sighs* Look, we've come so far from this journey as a ghost-crime fighting team, but this is something you shouldn't have to do alone… Let me come with you. I'll be fine - hell, battling all those skeletons will be a piece of cake!

Danny: *Chuckles* As much as I love the way you phrase that, Care, I'm sorry, but this is the only way I'll be able to keep the world safe - to keep you safe… *Glances down at her hand that's laid on the center of the battlesuit and places his hand on top of it* But promise me something… If anything happens to me, you have to keep the city safe. Don't turn into Vlad, or any supervillain we've dealt with, just fight for them - fight for us… *Holds out his pinkie finger* Promise?

*Carrie stays silent for a moment before letting out a shaking sigh as what he proposed is true, if nobody can protect Amity Park, who will?*

Carrie: *Interlocks her pinkie finger with his* Promise. But just know that I'm really proud of you, and that you'll always have someone rooting for you on the sidelines…

Danny: Let's just hope I make it back…

Carrie: Danny, come on, don't say that, you'll come back, you'll-

*Suddenly, just before she could finish the sentence, Danny leans forward, grabs her by the shoulders, and pulls her in, smashing his lips against hers. Not even bothering to process what is happening, Carrie doesn't hesitate, but closes her eyes and kisses him back. Peeking from the door leading inside Fenton Works, Tucker and Sam smile at the sight of their best friends finally sharing a real kiss which instantly has the techno-geek sneakily take a picture from his PDA. Unfortunately, that moment is ruined when a rumble is made around the town where the two pull away and look within the red clouds as the face of Pariah Dark is shown.*

Pariah Dark: HUMANS! HEAR MY DECREE!

Danny: *Grips Carrie's hand* Well, that's my cue… *Looks down at Tucker as he and Sam approached them* Tuck, I'll need you to drop the Ghost Shield on my way out, okay?

Tucker: Okay. Be careful, dude.

*He runs off with Sam this leaves Carrie to land on the ground, revert back into her human form, and take one last glance up at her best friend - her partner in crime - sadly as he gives her a small reassuring smile before watching her run towards Sam and Tucker who were at the control panel. Now, inside the suit, Danny transforms into Phantom, but not only does he transform himself, but he manages to merge the ghost within the battlesuit as it becomes silver and black, with the emblem on the front. Carrie gives him the thumbs-up, looking at him with a small satisfied smile which he happily returns and takes off, going faster than he could before, blowing his friend's back with his ghost trail in blue instead of green. Watching this from down below, the students cheer as they see one of their heroes taking off into battle.*

Paulina: Go get 'em, Inviso-Bill!

Danny: *Annoyed* It's not Inviso-Bill! It's Phantom! DANNY PHANTOM!

*When he flies close to the Ghost Shield, Tucker uses the PDA to temporarily knock it out. Danny flies through. He is now out of the safety of his town, ready to take Pariah Dark down. As he flies out, he looks back on the town sadly, especially because he thinks he won't make it home safely, but knows that he can trust the one person to make sure it is safe on her watch.*

Paulina: Let's hope Vanish-a can somehow make an appearance with her weak bones!

Carrie: *A bit annoyed* It's not Vanish-a! *Goes ghost* It's now, Wraith! CARRIE WRAITH!

Sam: *Smiles* Glad to see you've finally come up with a name, Care.

Carrie: *Clenches her fist softly and glances up into the deep distance of the Ghost Zone that Danny flew in* Yeah, me too...


*Now, deep within the Ghost Zone, Danny gasps as he comes across an army filled with thousands of ecto-skeletons guarding the Keep inside the red castle, their weapons armed and ready to defend.*

Danny: Maybe if I tried to pick these guys off one at a time…

*When he points his finger (the battlesuit mimicking) the tip opens up, pushing out a tiny blue ectoplasmic ball. The second it lands in front of some skeleton ghosts, it suddenly explodes, sending up a large blast, getting rid of many skeletons.*

Danny: Ha! Ha! One hundredfold, huh? That doesn't reek!

*Danny, happily with his newfound power, forms a full-sized blast on his fist and fires it, making many skeletons fly all around. However, the effort weakens him considerably as his battery is down to 98%, but goes right back up.*

Danny: *Grunts* Whoa… Okay… Gotta be smart about how much of my own power I use at once.

*He looks down as some of the skeletons are preparing to shoot arrows at him, but luckily, he puts up a blue ghost shield that deflects the arrows.*

Danny: *Gleefully* STILL NOT REEKING!

*And so, the male halfa then begins to fire more blasts at the skeletons. But just as he lands on the land, a bunch of skeletons tackles him, forming a very large pile. So, with much effort, he focuses really hard and suddenly the power he unleashes makes all the skeletons on top of him explode. Danny is weakened even more, however before the skeletons can take him again, an anonymous blue ectoblast shoots down, annihilating some of them. Danny looks to see that the blast came from his dear partner, Carrie as she flies beside the Specter Speeder, driven by Sam and Tucker.*

Sam: In general, I'm pretty opposed to violence, but I'm willing to make an exception in this case.

Danny: *Horrified to see them* Get out of here, guys! It's too dangerous for you to be here!

Carrie: Ha! And you'd really think I'd listen that easily, Phantom? We're a team, and like it or not, we have to stick together, and watch each other's backs!

Tucker: Plus, *Gestures to Sam* we're not staying. We're just making a delivery.

*From the bottom of the Specter Speeder, green smoke has fallen and soon every ghost Danny and Carrie have ever fought (and grown to be quite close friends with) is shown.*

Danny: How did they cram all of you into the Specter Speeder?

Ember: Hey! Ever been inside your stupid Thermos? Compared to that, it was the Taj Mahal in there!

Carrie: *Places her elbow against Ember's shoulder* Oh, just be happy I've made a few improvements at the last second, McLain…

Skulker: Less talking, more FIGHTING!

*Once he clarifies that weapons appear from every conceivable place on his body just for the Box Ghost's voice to be heard.*

Box Ghost: Beware! For my place of employment has given me a new weapon! *Holds up a relatively harmless piece of bubble wrap* The Bubble Wrap: OF DEATH!

Carrie: *Facepalms* Really, that's the best attack method you could come up with, dude?

Ember: Just go with it!

*And so, Klemper takes a huge puff of air and uses his ice breath on some of the skeletons, freezing them. The Box Ghost then goes and wraps them in his Bubble Wrap of Death, and Klemper pushes them off the land.*

Klemper: Now will you be my friend?

Box Ghost: NEVER!

*Dorathea, the Dragon Ghost, ridden by Poindexter, spews flame at the skeletons, leaving Ember to take out a skeletal dragon with a power chord. She misses a couple, where one is blasted by Carrie's ectoblast while the other is smashed by Skulker a second later. He turns around to face Danny, Carrie, and Ember.*

Skulker: Now, go! Defeat him! So I will be free to hunt you another day! *To Carrie* Don't think I'm letting you off the hook, Ghost Girl.

Danny: *Sarcastically* Guy really knows how to motivate ya.

Ember: *Smirks* Yeah, he does...

Carrie: *Puts her hand against the glass* Just be careful in there, will ya?

Danny: *Puts his hand against hers* I will…

*And so, Danny goes flying into the Keep. He reaches the doors to the throne room.*

Danny: Well, this is it.

*He blows the doors open and standing right there is Pariah Dark, the King of Ghosts himself, ready to take the male halfa on. Danny growls angrily at the tall ghost which is a pleasing sight in his eye(s).*

Pariah Dark: A little ragged round the edges, eh, child?

Danny Phantom: Whaddya say… *Flies closer* We ditch the snappy patter and get right to the part where I kick your ass!

Pariah Dark: Very well, I accept your challenge!

*The king flies towards Danny as the teen puts up a shield to stop him where his power is now at 40%, and his strength is limited. Danny is now very tired and such. But he manages to fire an ectoplasmic ray at Pariah Dark, which knocks him onto his throne. The male halfa is now weaker than ever, but the king simply gets up.*

Pariah Dark: Having that much power, it's a burden, isn't it, child?

*He throws his mace at Danny and the teen jumps up to dodge it, but it just comes back around to hit him in the back and comes back to its owner's hand. Once that's over with, the king kicks Danny, and he goes flying into the wall.*

Danny: *Gets up, sweating* The power isn't the burden. The burden is in how I use it. And I've been using it poorly lately…

*He focuses very, very hard on the one strategy he hopes it'll work through. With a bit of focusing, for the first time, Danny is able to duplicate four clones of himself whereas now, he has 25% power. The four Dannies fly at King Pariah and hit him with beams from all directions. Angered, Pariah swings his mace at one out of the four Dannies, making him disappear. Soon, one of the Dannies gets the king in the back, knocking him over, leaving the three remaining Dannies to walk up to him.*

All Four Dannies: NOW, LEAVE MY TOWN ALONE!

*Together, they punch King Pariah whereas outside of the Keep and the Ghost Zone surrounding Amity Park, Sam and Tucker are still in the Specter Speeder where the goth teen had parked the ghost vehicle in front of Fenton Works and their eyes look to see the sky flicker normal for a second before reverting back with the Zone's ectoplasm.*

Tucker: Whoa!

*Back in the Keep, King Pariah has blasted another Danny which instantly disappears, leaving two more Dannies left.*

Pariah Dark: Surrender, child! You can't possibly win!

*Suddenly, a rock smacks against his forehead. Pariah Dark growls in anger as he and both Dannies look to find Carrie floating down the hall, carrying an item.*

Carrie: Not on his own he doesn't, King Jerk-of-The-Ghost-Land! *Notices that there are two Dannies and becomes shocked* Hey, you did it!

Danny #1: Care, stay back! You're not even armed for this!

Carrie: Oh, really?

*In her hand, Carrie lifts up one of the Fenton Inventions and it happens to be the Fenton Peeler, except changes are made as the peeler itself is removed and replaced with an ecto-blaster. Once she is coated in a body of metal from the one device, she focuses, and transforms, allowing her signature initial to be in the middle while black and silver surround her.*

Carrie: Whoo… Would you look at that, I am armed! *To Danny* Now, are you ready to win this, or what, Phantom?

*Even if Pariah Dark is as large as a house, the female halfa will still do everything in her power to make sure he doesn't do anything else to the town.*

Danny #1: I'm ready. *To Pariah Dark* Because we don't have to win.

*His hands charge. He fires his blasts at the wall, revealing the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep.*

Danny #1: We just have to make sure that you lose!

*And so, Danny #2 flies up and holds the Sarcophagus open for a slightly scared Pariah Dark, which allows Danny #1 to fire a bit of ectoplasm, knocking off the Crown of Fire, and allowing Carrie to catch it.*

King Pariah Dark: No! NO!

*She throws it aside and watches as the second Danny then flies up and, with extreme difficulty due to Pariah Dark's size, he begins to push the tall ghost into the Sarcophagus with Carrie helping out as well. Once they managed to get Pariah Dark in his coffin, Danny #1 closes it as Danny #2 all worn out, retracts back into Danny #1, who is now the only Danny. Soon, a whitish-blue oval of light surrounds both the Sarcophagus and Amity Park. The Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep shakes violently as Danny and Carrie hold it shut, this causes the male halfa to groan, seeing as he's almost at his limit.

10%... 9%… 8%…*

Carrie: *Groaning* Come on! Come on!

*7%… 6%… 5%

Danny is now sweating from exhaustion. He slumps down, ready to find himself scum into the darkness where Pariah Dark continues pounding against the coffin, ready to break loose, unleashing all heck on both worlds.*

Carrie: *Kneels down and places her hands over the glass top with tears in her eyes* Danny, no!

Danny: *Manages to look into her eyes* Carrie… I… I…

*However, just before he can finish the sentence, a black-gloved hand turns the Skeleton Key in the lock, sealing Pariah Dark, the King of Ghosts back in.*

King Pariah Dark of the Ghosts: NO! NOOOO!

*After he is locked in, the Ghost Zone sky over Amity Park reverts back to a normal sky and the residents cheer as the skeletons still in town turn brown and crumble to dust. Back at the Keep, Danny looks over as he and Carrie find the black-gloved hand belonging to none other than Vlad Plasmius, who is standing with the Fright Knight and all the other ghosts.*

Carrie: *Shocked* There's no way…

Danny: Wha…? I don't understand…

Vlad: What? That I used three 14-year-old pawns to turn a knight and topple a king?

*As the adult halfa spoke, Carrie notices Danny's eyesight begins to waver as he slowly loses consciousness.*

Vlad: It's chess, Daniel. Of course, you don't understand, but then, you never really did…

*Once Danny fully loses consciousness, Carrie sighs in relief as she can tell that he has passed out from exhaustion.*


*Hours have passed and soon, Danny is slowly regaining consciousness only to hear a voice.*

Voice: Danny?

*And when Danny's eyes open up, the first person he sees is Carrie seated right in front of him.*

Carrie: *Exhales a relieved breath* Danny! You're okay!

Danny: *Eyes open fully as he is still subconscious* Huh, huh… what?

*Soon, the teen looks around and he finds himself in his room, on his bed. Standing around him are his family, Joyce, Carrie, Sam, Tucker, and Valerie, and her father, Damon. Valerie is in bandages, including a cast on her left arm, and soon, Vlad comes out from behind Damon. Luckily, not only were Vlad and Carrie in their human forms but so was Danny.*

Vlad: You gave us quite a scare there, little badger.

Jack: Vladdie said he'd found you just outside the dome after the town flickered back to reality. He saved your life.

Joyce: Not only did he find you outside, but he also found Carrie where she was running to you… *Puts her hands on Carrie's shoulders and the two Mayths glare a bit (especially the blue-haired teen who scowls) at the thought* How splendid…

Maddie: *Puts her hand on Joyce's shoulder* Well, things might have been weird there for a while, but if Vlad saved your life then I say, *Happily cups her hands together* bygones.

Jack: *Looks at Vlad* And you will always be welcome in our home, V-man. You can stay in Danny's room!

Vlad: *Walks over to him while lying through his teeth* Too bad you lost your ecto-suit, Jack.

Jack: That's okay, V-man. Those pants made me look fat.

*When Danny tries to get up, which causes him intense pain, Carrie pushes him back down again. She smiles graciously at him, thankfully to have her best friend safe and sound. He gives a dazed smile back and places a hand over hers in comfort.*


Tiffany Snow: Well, the worst ghost crisis in the history of Amity Park is over.

*As she reports this, everyone comes together around the town to clean up the streets and the mess caused by all the chaos they have suffered.*

Tiffany Snow: Cleanup continues and a sense of normalcy has returned. And while we may never know exactly what happened…

*Although, back at the Box Store, the owner of the shop stood confused as to why one of his items had suddenly "disappeared."*

Box Store Owner: WHERE'S MY BUBBLE WRAP?!

*As the sun shines upon Casper High's football field, some students are putting the goalposts back up with Dash Baxter guiding them.*

Tiffany Snow: One thing's for sure. Inviso-Bill, or should I say, *On-screen, a picture of Danny and Carrie in their ghost forms are shown* 'Danny Phantom' along with his partner, Vanish-a whose new name is revealed to be 'Carrie Wraith', *Their pictures disappear, and it is replaced by a pie chart. It shows "Pro, 64% - Con, 36%"* have both gone from villains to heroes in the eyes of many in our town-

*Watching this broadcast, a certain someone couldn't stand the sight of the two halfas faces plastered across the screen and suddenly a pink ray fires at the TV, smashing it. And that shot was fired by Valerie Gray herself.*

Valerie: *With total despising* That depends on who you're asking…

Damon: *From the other room* Valerie? Was that the ecto-gun?

Valerie: *Hides the gun behind her back* No!

*Back at the Mayth household, Joyce is standing by the counter with a cup of coffee in one hand while watching the broadcast and smiles softly at her daughter's picture and newly found superhero name declared.*

Joyce: *Sighs with pride* That's my girl…

*Now, inside Casper High, it's another day and Danny is still angry about yesterday's incident as he slams his locker shut.*

Tucker: Dude, you have to let it go.

Danny: I can't! What was that all about? The ghosts are all off rebuilding their homes, but the Ecto-Skeleton is gone! And what about Vlad? Did he make some sort of pact with the Fright Knight? I-I-I-

*Through his panicking, Carrie softly puts her hand over his mouth.*

Carrie: Danny, come on, you beat the big bad guy, and saved the town, that's much more if you ask me. And besides, if my so-called dad has another evil plan plotted up his sleeve, *Punches her palm against her hand* we'll be there to take him out.

*Listening to everything his partner said, Danny sighed in calmness and smiled softly at her before grabbing her hand in his.*

Danny: Well, I'm not the only one who saved the city, y'know?

*Carrie then blushes at not just him crediting her for partially helping, but his hand accompanying hers as this made Sam and Tucker smirk at the duo's moment until Dash unfortunately just had to ruin it by storming over to them; meaning Danny.*

Carrie: And besides, that's enough for today, don'tcha think?

Danny: *Glances at Dash* Almost…

*And so, the male halfa walks over to the blonde-haired jock unafraid.*

Carrie: *Sighs and looks at Sam and Tucker* When are people ever gonna stop being the bigger person to others that we don't owe?

Sam: *Places her arm around Carrie's shoulder* Well, that's the best part about being superheroes, Care, you gotta live up to being a bigger person…

Dash: You've got a lotta nerve just walkin' up to me in broad daylight, Fenton!

Danny: Actually, I wanted to say… I was sorry. I pulled some pranks on you, and well, with all the weirdness in the last few days… I'm sorta thinkin' that just because I can do something doesn't mean I… *Smiles softly* should…

*As the teen spoke this, Dash was looking down at him a bit surprised.*

Danny: So… Apology accepted?

*Once this apology from Danny is given, Dash smiles evilly as an idea comes to mind.*


Dash: Apology accepted.

*Unfortunately, after school, Dash stood by the doors outside of the Nasty Burger as Danny didn't expect the jock's level of forgiveness to be taken to this level whereas now, the halfa is hanging Danny by his underwear from the flagpole. Soon, Danny's underwear snaps in half and he goes plumbing to the ground with a scream as Sam, Tucker, and Carrie are also seated outside of the fast food restaurant at a table just to have Valerie walk over to their table.*

Valerie: Looks like everything's back to normal.

Sam and Tucker: *In union* Looks like

Valerie: Although… Y'know how I said I didn't really like Fenton? I kinda like him now.

Carrie: *Becomes appalled and spits out her soda* Like him, how? As-as in, like him, like him, o-or-?

Sam: *Covers her mouth* What Carrie is really trying to say is, yeah, we like him too. *Points a stern finger* And we're watching you.

*Carrie (thankfully) happily nods at her best friend's excuse seeing as the female halfa is coming down to having mixed feelings about Danny.*

Valerie: I accept your challenge!

Sam: Then you leave us no choice…

Sam and Tucker: *Shouts* NATHAN!

*Once this name was shouted, Valerie didn't think that this challenge of trust would include geeks (especially if those were obsessed with wanting a life with her) as this made her scream, and ran away, knocking the table over just to have Nathan run up, geeky as ever, holding flowers and chocolates.*

Nathan: Valerie! Come back! WHY WON'T YOU SAY YESS?
