Danny and Wraith crept through the mist filled chamber. Neither of them could see each other through the mist.
"Wraith can you hear me?" Called Danny to Wraith.
There was no response. Danny tried to use the Force to sense Wraith and call out to, but there was some kind of interference. The teen had no idea if this was some power of the labyrinth or possibly the power of the crown and ring.
Wraith was dealing with a similar situation.
"Phantom can you hear me?" Called Wraith to Danny.
No response. Wraith tried to sense and call Phantom with the Force, but she had no luck either. Just want was going on? Was this part of the final challenge.
Danny carefully made his way through the mist, until he saw a shape move ahead of him.
"Wraith?" Asked Danny as he ran towards the figure.
The figure turned to face Danny revealing themselves not to be Wraith.
"What the?" Said Danny as he took the figure in.
The figure appeared to be a copy of Danny, though this person had skin with a green hue and red eyes instead of green.
"Hello Danny." Said the figure in a voice that sounded just like Danny's voice.
"Who are you?" Asked Danny.
"I'm you, though to be a bit more exact, I'm the darkness inside of you. You can call me Dark Phantom and I'm here to show you what you can become."
"How exactly are you here?" Asked Danny.
"Oh the power of the crown and ring called me out of you and gave me form." Said Dark Danny.
"But I'm a Jedi." Said Danny.
"Everyone has a bit of darkness in them, even Jedi." Said Dark Phantom.
"So exactly what do you want?" Asked Danny.
"As I told you. I want to show you what you can become." Said Dark Phantom waving his hand at the mist.
The mist swirled, twisted, and changed colors and soon Danny and Dark Phantom found themselves in Goza City in front of the Capitol. Thousands of humans and aliens stood before the Capitol clapping and cheering. Standing on a balcony overlooking the crowd was an older looking Danny wearing a green crown on his head and green ring with a emerald-green skull with red eyes and a black background circle on his righthand.
"What is this?" Asked Danny.
"This is the future you can have if you abandon your Jedi ideals, embrace the Dark Side, and claim the Crown of Fire and the Ring of Rage. You can defeat the Empire and bring peace to the Amitrax System." Said Dark Phantom.
Danny study the image for a few seconds and I scowled.
"Nice try, but no deal. I know the Dark Side likes to tempt people with promises of power and greatness. The Dark Side uses people and ruins them. If I gave into it I would be no better then Vlad or the Empire." Said Danny as he faced Dark Phantom and pointed his lightsaber at him.
"So be it. You'll fall one way or another." Said Dark Phantom as he produced a red lightsaber and the two of them rushed at each other.
As all this was going on, Wraith encountered a double of herself with green skin and red eyes.
"Who are you?" Asked Wraith.
"I'm the darkness in you given form by the crown and ring. You can call me Dark Wraith and I'm here to help you reach your full potential and achieve your destiny."
"What is my destiny?" Asked Wraith.
The mist swirled and took on the shape of a large military base with thousands of Stormtroopers and officers standing at attention. Standing on the balcony overlooking the gathered troops was Wraith wearing the Crown of Fire and the Ring of Rage.
"You can bring peace and order to the Amitrax System. You would no longer be just a clone or a apprentice. You would be your own master with others waiting to follow your orders." Said Dark Wraith.
"What about Master Vlad? What about Phantom?" Asked Wraith.
"You don't need them. You can either enslave them or kill them, but you don't need either of them. All you need is the Crown of Fire and the Ring of Rage." Said Dark Wraith.
Wraith considered what Dark Wraith was saying and shook her head.
"Sorry, but I prefer having both my Master and Phantom in my life. The power does sound nice, but I prefer having some people in my life then just myself and servants." Said Wraith as she pointed her lightsaber at Dark Wraith.
"Then you are a fool. You'll see things my way." Said Dark Wraith as she pulled out a red lightsaber and charged forward.
Wraith and Dark Wraith began to battle.
Danny and Dark Phantom circled each other as they struck and blocked each other's moves. Dark Phantom was very aggressive, but Danny managed to keep calm as he defended himself waiting for a opening to present itself. The dark double lunged forward and Danny sidestepped him using a Force push to slam Dark Phantom into a wall.
Wraith and Dark Wraith fought each other. Wraith was being aggressive, while Dark Wraith was calm and defend herself. The clone girl lunged at Dark Wraith, only to have Dark Wraith sidestep her and use a Force push to slam her into a wall.
Danny rushed at Dark Phantom intending to finish him off by slicing off his head, but he stopped himself a few inches from his enemy's neck. This was not the Jedi way. The dark double had been trying to trick Danny into going over to the Dark Side by killing him.
"This is over." Said Danny as he lowered his weapon and backed away from Dark Phantom.
Dark Wraith pointed her weapon at Wraith's neck and then she backed away.
"You're weak." Said Dark Wraith with a smirk.
Wraith felt her anger boil as she lashed out with a Force push and knocked Dark Wraith back.
Danny was hurled back by a Force push by Dark Phantom, who rushed at him and began to reign blows down on him forcing Danny on the defensive. Dark Phantom seemed determined to kill Danny. Danny grimaced as he blocked blow after blow and backed away from Dark Phantom. Something was different about Dark Phantom and Danny was beginning to have an idea of what was really going on and who he was actually facing. Danny took a deep breath and concentrated with the Force.
"WRAITH STOP!" Yelled Danny with all his might as he pushed out with the Force.
The air and mist rippled as Dark Phantom vanished and was replaced by Wraith who blinked her eyes in confusion.
"What's going on? Where's Dark Wraith?" Asked Wraith.
"She was just an illusion, just like the guy I was fighting. It was the final challenge." Said Danny.
"How was that possible?" Asked Wraith as the mist began to drain from the chamber.
"The mist must have been laced with drugs or herbs, or maybe it was a trap created by Pandora using the Force." Said Danny.
The chamber cleared and a pedestal rose out of the ground. On the pedestal was a purple box topped with a green skull. It was Pandora's Box! Before either Danny or Wraith could say or do anything there was a loud explosion from down the hall! Dark Laser's began to storm down the hall towards the chamber!
