At the Animarius Castle, Cicadeath and Flygor, with Mano Fantasma a.k.a the Ghost Dopant helping them, were scrolling through the various worlds that appeared in the Dimension Gate. Specifically, it showed an advanced technological floating city in the sky filled with street tracks and loops while populated by semihumanoid robotic beings with spherical bodies (Flip City from "RollBots"), an environmentally-friendly yet technologically advanced city with spherical structures surrounded by green trees and grass while populated by multicolored organic spherical semihumanoid beings (Pacopolis, the main city in Pac-World from "Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures), a regular-looking middle school building (Flying Rhino Junior High School, the main setting of "Flying Rhino Junior High"), an American city that had a gothic Tim Burton-esque feel to it with skull themed castle-shaped private set on top of mountain with a creepy laughing cartoonish sun floating above it (Death City from "Soul Eater"), a building compound set in Italy (Huntik Foundation Italian HQ from "Huntik: Seekers & Secrets), a South Dakota desert landscape with a mountainous structure that had a hidden high-tech military equipment beneath the granite surface as well a nearby diner a few miles away from it (Area Fifty-Something from "Monsters Vs Aliens"), an animal/pet-themed city metropolis populated by anthropomorphic animals (Petropolis from "T.U.F.F. Puppy"), a very tall Victorian building painted in many shades of bright orange and red, with tall windows, balconies, and three visible chimneys, two of them tied together, and decorated with a long emblazoned flag on the top, a Gothic gate at the front with the word "Foster" decorating the upper arc, and a massive willow tree taller than the house itself standing at the left side of the building (Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends from the TV show of the same name), a Mexican town that is situated on what appears to be a series of man-made islands (Monte Macabre from "Victor and Valentino"), another ordinary-looking middle school building (Ringworm Junior High School from "Grossology" (Hey, it's the best location in that TV series that I could find with a name on it that's outside of the Gag Lab, okay?)), a plain-looking urban town with a sign that says "Welcome to Plainville" it and a brown water tower with the word "Plainville on it (Plainville from "ChalkZone"), a gothic city supposedly set in Argentina, South America (Meridiana from "Cybersix"), a location that's literally a bizzare combination of a mall and Asian city that consists of many tall skyscrapers, connected by cable cars, along with lower areas with small, traditional Asian-styled buildings (Wasabi World from "Chop Socky Chooks"), an alien planet with a high-tech city (Shuggazoom from "Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!"), an American city metropolis with a small island off the coast that has a skyscraper-like building in the center of it that's shaped like a capital letter 'T' (Jump City from "Teen Titans" (the original one, not "Go!"), a futuristic city with tall skyscrapers, flying vehicles, and various types of robots alongside humans (Progress City from "Get Ed"), a completely technological planet populated by shape-shifting robots of various sizes (Cybertron from "Transformers Animated"), a large town that's split in half, with one half being on a grassy green hill with pristine clean buildings for rich people, fresh water fountains, and healthy trees while the other half being in a heavily polluted valley with toxic air, mucky water, and dead trees (Hill Valley from "The Oblongs"), a Dragon-themed city set on another world that's built in different layers in an almost vertical fashion and extends for 20kms (12 and a half miles) up into the sky, with the higher areas of the city being the more modern and high-class, whereas those further below are more industrial, poor and ancient (Dragon City, set in Draconis, the world of "Dragon Booster"), an average Canadian town (Bootsville from "Kid vs Kat"), a sunny town that had as many robots as it does people (Bubble Town from "Cubix: Robots for Everyone"), a network of environmental domes set on Mars (NeoMars City from "Bravest Warriors"), a classical Japanese building-styled school (the titular school of "Shuriken School"), a Japanese city with a river present (Riverview City from "Medabots"), a fantastic underground world beneath the Earth that had an artificial stationary sun that hangs on the ceiling, "The Inner World from "Spider Riders"), a fantasy-type world consisting of a Volcano island with a prehistoric jungle, a dark forest area with a wooden billboard that had a flashing arrow on it, a haunted snowy land with a castle made of ice, a barren desert with a frog head-shaped cave and a pair of Inflatable Air Dancers, a jungle that had copious amounts of wool-like overgrowth, a multicolored technological city metropolis straight out of science fiction, a private school set on top of a fist-shaped mountain, a large island cove with palm trees, pirate-era coastal town, and a pirate hook-shaped structure on the right mountain and a cutlass-shaped structure on the left mountain, and a bright green forested area with a medieval town, burger joint, and broccoli-themed castle (Lyvsheria from "Mighty Magiswords"), and finally an huge island archipelago that's actually a giant decaying Humanoid horned skeleton with various types of plantlife growing on it (The Boiling Isles).
"What exactly are we looking for again?" Cicadeath asked in boredom. "We're supposed to be finding a universe that's connected to this Ghost Zone that his Majesty has told us about!" Flygor reminded. "Thankfully, with my Ghost detecting equipment, it should be a piece of cake!" Mano said, as soon as he said that, it went off like crazy. "Whoa! Stop right at that spot!" Mano said as Cicadeath and Flygor stopped the Dimension Gate right at a specific world, which is a moderately large urban American city that had several downtown areas with modern skyscrapers and a sign at the city entrance that had the words "Amity Park, a Nice Place to Live!" on it. "Amity Park." Mano read. He then looked at his Ghost-detecting equipment, which was still going off at the place, now identified as Amity Park. "You don't think..." Flygor asked. "That this world has a connection to the Ghost Zone?" Cicadeath asked. "As a matter of fact, I do! Because my equipment is going like crazy here, that world over there has a high level of spectral paranormal activity, which means that there are ghosts roaming around the place and they could lead us to the Ghost Zone!" Mano explained. "Well then, what are we waiting for? Let's go tell his Majesty the good news!" Cicadeath declared as he, Flygor, and Mano dashed out of the lab. Meanwhile, King Draco and the Generals, along with Cerberion, Tytus, Elephantor, Stephano, and Morag, were in the throne room when the doors opened to reveal a male humanoid Welsh Hound dog with a body that narrows rapidly from the chest and terminated in three fish-like tails instead of legs, since he was literally levitating above the ground, and had the symbol of the Mythical Army on his left shoulder while he was wearing a bandolier that's holding a multitude of glowing crystalline cubes similar to Cerberion's bandolier of orbs. "Hello, everyone! I'm back!" The levitating dog/fish humanoid announced. "Cousin Dormarchus! You've returned!" Cerberion said as he and the newcomer, now identified as his cousin Dormarchus, went towards each other and then did a fist bump and an arm lock before they then howled like wolves.
"Ah, it's good to see you, cousin Cerberion!" Dormarchus said. "Likewise! What have you been doing since the last time we saw each other?" Cerberion asked. "Ah, the same old same old." Dormarchus said, jiggling the bandolier he was carrying. "I go around killing people and collecting their souls in theses cubes here, just like you do with your orbs! Of course, I go a step further than that by not only using theses cubes to capture ghosts of humans that have been long dead, but I also use them to control the imprisoned souls I collect like puppets, so that I would have have them capture ghosts for me, in case there's too many to capture by myself, and also use them as my own personal ghost army!" He added while pointing at the crystalline cubes on his bandolier. Cerberion laughed. "Nice! See this? In it is the Nature Fairy that helped that Ronin!" Cerberion said, showing Dormarchus the orb that contains Naturia.
"Very impressive!" Dormarchus said in awe. "Let me out!" Naturia called out from the orb. "Not on your life!" Cerberion said as Cicadeath and Flygor ran in. "Your majesty! Your majesty!" They called while Mano was following behind them. "What is it?" King Draco asked. "We may have found a world connected to that Ghost Zone place!" Cicadeath said. "Really? Show me!" King Draco ordered. Soon, everyone was in the room with the Dimension Gate. "As you can see, my Spectrometer here is picking up high amounts of Spectral energy." Mano started explaining. "And where there's Spectral Energy, there's Ghosts, which would make it easier to find the Ghost Zone in that universe!" He added, much to Dormarchus's interest. "Fascinating. Take Morag with you and try to find a way into the Ghost Zone from there, once you do, radio us." Stephano ordered. "Will do, boss!" Mano replied. Just then, a different kind of portal appeared on the opposite side of the lab to reveal three individuals in white business suits, one of them being female with brown shoulder-length hair, and the other two being male, with one being middle-aged, balding light blonde hair, and of German descendance while the other one is a young adult in his 20's with a full head of dark blonde hair and clearly a mix of Japanese and American traits.
"Which one of you is King Draco?" The man in his 20's asked. "That would be me." King Draco said. "Who are you?" Cerberion asked. "We're with Foundation X." The lone female said. "Oh, Yeah! We've met some of your Zodiarts, namely Vespa, Lepus, and Testudo!" General Kabuto said. "And I'm sure your bosses will be happy to hear I'm quite pleased with this." Morag said, activating her Zodiarts Switch, transforming, making the three scoff. "I'm from a separate division of Foundation X, one that focuses on these." The blonde man said, holding up an Eyecon. "My associates here are Zodiarts based off of Gamma-Ray Constellations, which I think you'll find to be much better than those the likes of you." He explained.
"Gamma-Ray Constellations? What exactly are those?" Megalonis asked in confusion. "I'll answer that, since I've been reborn in this world twelve years ago and I have been keeping up with current events during those years while keeping my both my body and mind in perfect condition! The Gamma-Ray Constellations are, as their name would suggest, a new set of constellations formed from gamma-ray sources instead of stars that have been discovered in 2018 by the Fermi Satellite! In fact, there are a total of 21 of those gamma-ray constellations right now! As for what they are modeled after, well, it's a lot of random things, some of which having some relation to gamma radiation! Specifically, they are a Black Widow Spider, the late scientist Albert Einstein, Schrödinger's Cat, which is as a famous thought experiment devised by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935, the Fermi Bubbles, which are mysterious structures that emerge above and below the center of our galaxy and spanning a total length of about 50,000 light-years, Thor's hammer Mjolnir, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Roman Colosseum, the Eiffel Tower, an Obelisk, specifically the Washington Monument, Neuschwanstein Castle, Pharos of Alexandria, the recovered Swedish ship Vasa, Mount Fuji, a Radio Telescope, the Saturn V Rocket, the Fermi Satellite itself, the TARDIS from "Doctor Who", the USS Enterprise from "Star Trek: The Original Series", the Little Prince, specifically the titular character of the beloved French novella by the same name, the Hulk from Marvel Comics, and, last but not least, the famous kaiju Godzilla, also known by his Japanese name Gojira!" Stephano explained.
"And you two?" Morag asked. "Einstein." The man said. "Antenna." The woman explained. "Judging by the names alone, Einstein is clearly codenamed after Albert Einstein, who's the late scientist that currently has a Gamma-Ray Constellation named and modeled after him, while Antenna's codename is clearly an alternate name for a Radio Telescope, which is also has a Gamma-Ray Constellation modeled after it!" Stephano noted. "Precisely." Antenna said. "What brings you three here?" Tyrannus asked. "We have been hearing rumors about the Dopants returning in a different world, specifically this one, and we got a bit curious, since we have not been involved in Gaia Memory production since the fall of Museum and the late Foundation X member Jun Kazu, so we thought we could see if those rumors are true!" The blonde man answered.
"Indeed it is. I'm Stephano Inverso, leader of the Inverso Mafia. In a previous life, I was Isaka Shinkuro, the Weather Dopant, after I died twice, the first after being defeated in battle by Accel in his Trial form and the second time when I was ressurected and became a member of Dai-Shocker, which joined forces with Dai-Zangyack in an attempt to destroy both Kamen Riders and Super Sentai, only for myself to be defeated by Ryu a second time when the Riders and Sentai teams joined forces, and got reborn in this world, I soon found myself with all my memories, including the knowledge of how to make Gaia Memories. Mano Fantasma here is one of the new Dopants I've created." Stephano explained. "Interesting. Would you care for a few words, young Master Inverso?" The man with the Eyecon asked. "Of course, Mister...?" Stephano said in confusion. "Oh, where are my manners? I'm known as Sone Akuji!" The blonde man, now called Akuji Sone, said.
"Pleasure to meet you. Mano, you and Morag go ahead and get started on that errand, while we talk with our guests." Stephano requested. "With pleasure, boss!" Mano replied. "I need the exercise anyway!" Morag replied. "You guys mind if I can come along too? My own ghost-hunting abilities could be of use!" Dormarchus offered. "Until we can find a way to get to the Ghost Zone, it'd be best to lay low, since you don't have a human form, it'd be impossible for you to do so, so you'd best wait until our signal." Mano informed. "Not a problem! I also happen to have invisibility powers! Watch!" Dormarchus said as he immediately turned invisible on command. "Very well." Mano said as the three of them walked through the portal. "Alright, then, Mr. Sone, what do you want to talk to me about?" Stephano asked.
Meanwhile...
Mano, Morag, and a cloaked Dormarchus were walking through Amity Park, no one paying any attention to them. "How are we supposed to get to this place called the Ghost Zone, anyway?" Morag asked. "Patience, my friend. First things first, we need to find a ghost, and force them to tell us. Fortunately my experience has taught me that they can be found in anything, anytime, anywhere. Even in something as innocuous as say..." Mano started saying before picking up a cardboard box. "This box." He said. That caused the box to shake and burst open to reveal a ghost in the form of a short, somewhat round man with blue skin and short black hair who was wearing gray overalls, a gray hat, light gray gloves, a light gray undershirt, and dark gray shoes. "I AM THE BOX GHOST! BEWARE!" He called. Needless to say, the three villains were neither scared nor amused. "BEWARE!" The Box Ghost repeated, however, Mano and Morag simply transformed while Dormarchus became visible again.
Ghost! GaiaRise!
Needless to say, it was the Box Ghost who was scared instead as the Ghost Dopant tied him up in spectral chains. "Alright, Mr. Box Ghost, you're going to answer our questions and you're going to answer them now!" Morag said. "What do you want?!" The Box Ghost asked in fear. "The Ghost Zone, how do we get there?" Dormarchus asked. That caused the Box Ghost to gulp in fright. "Fenton Works! In the basement, there's a device that can open up a portal to and from the Ghost Zone!" He said in fright. "Perfect! Where is Fenton Works?" The Ghost Dopant asked. "You can't miss it! It's this big building with this crazy looking thing on top and a sign with the word 'Fenton' on it!" The Box Ghost said. "You mean that thing?" Dormarchus asked, pointing to a nearby building matching said description. "Yep, that one!" The Box Ghost confirmed.
"One more question. Do you know anything about a being named Futaba? He should have come to the Ghost Zone some years ago." The Ghost Dopant said. "Futaba? Never heard of any ghost with that name!" The Box Ghost answered in honest confusion. "Dang it, looks like we're flying in blind." The Ghost Dopant said. "Maybe not." Morag said, pulling out a walkie talkie. "Hey, your majesty, do you happen to have something that depicts Futaba's image or something?" She asked. "Not physically, but I do have a way to bring out an image of him from my memories, specifically from the time I've met him in the Afterlife Nexus! I'll bring in Capricornus for that task!" King Draco answered back. A few minutes later, Capricornius appeared. "I have the image." He said, projecting an image of Futaba. "Does this look familiar?" Morag asked The Box Ghost.
The image in question looked like pale-skinned twelve year old human boy with green eyes and green hair with yellow-to-red strands in it as well as a blue-coloured jewelled headband on his head, who was wearing a skin colored top that's tucked under a pair of green, yellow, and brown shorts that go past his knees as well as wearing black bandages on his calves and black open-toed and open-heeled sandals, plus he weared some sort of metal gloves on each of his hands as well as metal armor on his shoulders and metal rings on his ankles that each have one small metallic winglike structure on the side facing away from each other. "Hmmm! Let me think!" The Box Ghost said before going into his thoughts. He then said "Oh Yeah! Now I remember! I've seen that kid roaming all around the Ghost Zone for quite a very long time, though I've never gotten his actual name! Personally, me and the other ghosts like to call him either Girly Boy, mainly because of his feminine face and voice even though he's obviously a boy, or Ankle Wings, mostly because of those bird-like wings that spread out from his ankles! Anyways, the last time I've seen him, he was being chased by Skulker!" upon remembering. "Who exactly is this Skulker?" Dormarchus asked.
"A hunter of rare and unique ghosts." The Box Ghost explained. "He's murderous, sadistic, greedy, and ruthless to the very core! Skulker enjoys a good hunt with good prey as a prize, so much so that he would often offer his targets a head start in their escape, just so he could relish the hunt even longer!" He added. "His only weakness is this PDA he took from the Ghost Boy and his friends that often takes over his suit's flight controls and makes him do research on gorillas." Box Ghost added. "Ghost Boy?" The Ghost Dopant, Morag, Dormarchus, and Capricornus asked in confusion. "You know what, that's not important. Where can we find this Skulker?" Morag asked. "Actually, that's him now." Box Ghost said, pointing upwards. They all then saw a male ghostly muscular metallic being with a skull-like face, electric green flames for his hair and goatee, jagged teeth in his mouth, off-white metallic "skin", and his arms having visible metal seams! He was wearing a black tank top and pants, a dark gray shoulder guard on his left shoulder, a dark gray belt that slings across his chest, dark gray gauntlets that have technological features in the wrists, a gray utility belt around his waist that has a blue "S" on the buckle, gray boots with blue laces, and a necklace with a white skull on it.
"Perfect." The Ghost Dopant said, tossing Box Ghost away. "Yaaaaaaa-hoo-hoo-hoo-hooey!" The Box Ghost hollered upon getting sent flying away. "Glad he's gone, he's more annoying than scary." Morag noted. "Yeah, that Box Ghost is a joke, and not the funny kind! Heck, he's not even worth being part of my soul collection!" Dormarchus noted. "For now though, let's talk to this Skulker." The Ghost Dopant said. "Hey, You!" He called out, gaining Skulker's attention. "What the?" Skulker asked as the Ghost Dopant wrapped him in chains and dragged him down. "Hey! What is the meaning of this?!" Skulker asked angrily. "We understand you have a knack for hunting the rare and unusual, and that you've been interested in our little target." Morag said, showing Skulker an image of Futaba. "Oh! That kid? I've already managed to capture him and left him on my island in a high-tech cage of my own design! I've got to admit it, he was a worthy target, since he did manage to put up a good chase for me, especially with those wings on his ankles, all over the Ghost Zone before I finally managed to capture him in my net!" Skulker proudly said.
"Take us to that island, now!" The Ghost Dopant said. "Or else you will be added to our friend here's collection." Morag said, pointing to Dormarchus' bandolier. "Yeah, I don't think so!" Skulker declared as he then broke through the Ghost Dopant's chains with his strength. "I'm out of here." He said, flying off. "Don't let him get away!" The Ghost Dopant ordered.
Meanwhile...
"I still can't believe they made you mayor." A voice said as three teenagers were shown walking down the street. The first one, who was the one that spoke, was a fourteen year old boy with fair skin, black hair and blue eyes, who was wearing a white T-shirt with a thin red collar, red cuffs, and a red oval in the middle, light blue jeans and red-and-white sneakers (Danny Fenton). The second one was a fourteen year old Caucasian Goth girl with violet eyes and short black hair with a small ponytail at the top and at the back of her head held by a green hair tie, who was wearing purple lipstick on her lips and a pair of black bracelets around both of her wrists while her clothing consists of a black choker around her neck, a black top that exposes her midriff with a purple oval in the centre, black striped skirt with a green crosshatch design, purple tights, and black combat boots (Samantha "Sam" Manson). The third one was a fourteen year old African American boy who had brown skin, turquoise eyes, black hair, and wearing black glasses while his clothes consist of a long-sleeve yellow shirt, green cargo pants with a black belt, and brown boots along with a red beret as well as carrying a gray backpack on his back (Tucker Foley).
"I know, even crazier than that is that you two finally got together!" Tucker said. That made Sam blush a little bit. "Yeah, well, wait, is anyone else seeing Skulker being chased by weirdos, or is it just me?" Sam asked as they looked up to see the Ghost Dopant, Morag, Dormarchus, and Capricornus still chasing after Skulker. "Get back here!" Morag called. "I'm afraid we are seeing it too, Sam!" Danny said. "Who are those guys and what did Skulker do to tick them off?" Tucker asked in confusion. "I don't know, but we'd better find out!" Danny declared. Suddenly, a flash occurred as a white ring appeared around Danny, rising up, turning his outfit into a black bodysuit with a stylized 'D' on his chest, turning his black hair silver, gaining a white aura. This made Danny Fenton become his half-ghost superhero identity Danny Phantom.
He then flew up. "Hey! What's going on here?" Danny asked. "Oh! Phantom! It's a good thing you're here! I was on my way here to resume my hunt for you, but those four freaks, whom I have clearly never seen before, decided that they have other ideas for me and won't leave me alone!" Skulker said, pointing at the four villains chasing after him. "Seriously? I find Skulker as irritating as the next guy, but why are you after him? And more importantly, what in the world are you?" Danny asked in confusion. "I am the Ghost Dopant." The Ghost Dopant said. "Powered by the Queen Constellation, I am the Cassiopeia Zodiarts." Morag said. "Dormarchus, the Dormarch Animarius." Dormarchus said. "Capricornius, the Capricorn Animarius." Capricornius said. "We came here from another world on an errand for the Great King Draco, and this punk has the one thing we need!" Morag said, showing a picture of Futaba. "Okay, I have no idea who that kid is or what Skulker has to do with him!" Danny said in confusion.
"Listen, we don't mean any harm. We just want to find this kid, and we'll leave." Capricornius said. "Also, in case you're wondering what Skulker has do with the kid, well, that guy had the audacity to hunt and capture the kid in his island, wherever that is!" The Ghost Dopant said, causing Danny to glare daggers at Skulker. "Really?" Danny said in annoyance. "Come on, you should know me by now, who or whatever that kid is, he's no ordinary ghost." Skulker said. "Seriously, he's got bird wings sprouting out from his ankles of all places!" He added. Danny simply sighed and pinched the bridge of his forehead. "Sam, Tucker, call my family and tell them we need the Ghost Portal fired up." He told his friends. "Understood, Danny!" Sam said. "Oh thank you." The Ghost Dopant said. 'You fool.' He thought.
Later...
Everyone was in the basement of Danny's home. "Alright, all we have to do is go through the portal, and head to Skulker's island, and we'll get your friend." Danny said. "Great! So, what should we do with him?" Morag asked while pointing at Skulker, who was conveniently tied up in a net. "Well, Skulker knows his own island better than any other ghost, so it should be obvious that we make him lead the way!" Tucker suggested. "Fine." The Ghost Dopant said. He then wrapped his chains around Skulker's body. "Just in case if he tries anything funny along the way!" The Ghost Dopant assured, causing Skulker to grumble. Soon, Danny lead everyone into the portal. "Those guys creep anyone else out?" Danny's older sister Jazz asked. "They do to me!" Danielle "Dani" Fenton, a twelve-year-old female clone and "cousin" of Danny Fenton created by Vlad Plasmius and now currently adopted by the Fentons, admitted.
"Especially that Cassiopeia lady." The Fenton family patriarch, Jack said. "I'd agree with Jackie By here! Seriously, that woman's butt is so unnatural huge, it can be mistaken for that of a mammoth!" The Fenton family, Maddie said while pointing at Morag's butt. "I Heard That!" Morag replied in annoyance. Soon, they were in the Ghost Zone. More specifically, Danny, Dani, the Ghost Dopant, and Skulker, the latter being still tied up in chains, were flying in Ghost Zone while Jack, Maddie, Jazz, Sam, Tucker, Morag, and Dormarchus were riding in the Spector Speeder, now a bit bigger and upgraded to seat at least seven people. There, they see that the realm is composed of ectoplasm and their were staircases and floating doors all around. There was also an isolated landmark that's basically a huge circular mouth, with the outside having a rocky appearance that curves up to and surrounds its mouth while the interior of the canyon had reddish-pink ridges along its walls, which are irregularly lined with silver spikes that act as teeth (the Carnivorous Canyon). Not only that, but there's a whole noxious yellow river that's free-floating in the air, with its banks surrounded by craggy rock (The River of Revulsion). Plus, there were a lot of floating islands and buildings, such an island with a mountain covered in Greco-Roman buildings (Acropolis of Athens, home of Pandora), an island with a dark medieval-styled castle surrounded by a water-filled moat and dark spooky trees (Dorothea's Kingdom, formerly known as Aragon's Kingdom), a floating tower building that is filled with time-related objects such as clocks, gears, and bells (Clockwork's Lair), a large, white floating book-themed mansion surrounded by a purple glow with two large lion statues standing out front (Ghost Writer's Manor), a floating mountain surrounded by many observatories and a single disembodied eyeball (Observants High Council Tribunal Headquarters), a frozen mountain island covered in ice and snow with an ice structure shaped like an Alphorn at the left side of the island (Realm of the Far Frozen, home of Frostbite and his people), an entirely black-and-white school building looking exactly like Casper High School (Sidney Poindexter's School), a literal floating prison sector (Walker's Prison), an island with a purple warehouse (apparently the home of the Box Ghost), an island with an ominous red castle with multiple branching towers (Pariah's Keep), and finally a floating jungle-filled island-like land mass with a large red-eyed stone skull on the upper left corner (Skulker's Island).
"There." Skulker said begrudgingly pointing to the latter island. "Perfect! Lead us there at once!" The Ghost Dopant said. Soon, they arrived at Skulker's stronghold. "Man, for a hunter like you, Skulker, this jungle environment is rather appropriate!" Dormarchus noted. "Obviously! It's my personal hunting grounds after all!" Skulker said proudly. "Just tell us where you have him already!" Morag demanded. "Don't get your hair in a twist, ma'am! The cage he's being held in is just up ahead!" Skulker said as they continued moving forward. After a few seconds, they all saw a high-tech large cube-shaped metal prison with a small open on the upper front with small bars set in it. "Let! Me! OUT OF HERE!" A voice, clearly that of a very young child, yelled angrily. "That's him." Skulker said as the Ghost Dopant flew up to the prison. "Shadow Angel Futaba?" He asked, making sure Skulker wasn't tricking him. "That's me! Who are you and what do you want from me?" The voice, now confirmed to be Futaba, replied. "I'm a friend of Drako and Isaka." The Ghost Dopant explained.
"Drako?! Isaka?! They sent you to find me?!" Futaba asked in surprise. "Indeed." The Ghost Dopant said. "And I didn't come alone, either!" He added. "Well, what are you waiting for?! LET ME OUT OF HERE!" Futaba demanded, bashing against the door. "We're working on it!" Morag said. "Alright, punk, open that door now, or else you are in for a world of pain!" Morag said. "I'd do what they say, Skulker, cause they're clearly not bluffing!" Danny taunted Skulker with a smirk. "Fine." Skulker said begrudgingly. He then used his right hand to type in the passcode on the keypad above the cage. Once that was done, the door opened and then Futaba, who looks exactly like the image provided by King Draco and Capricornus, flew out of it with his wings fully displayed from his ankles. "Finally!" The Shadow Angel said. "It feels good to be out of that cube of a cage!" He added as he stretched his arms and legs out.
"Now I can start plotting my revenge on the humans for killing me!" He said eagerly. "Wait, what?" Danny asked. "A plan I'm sure Drako and Isaka, or King Draco and Stephano Inverso, as they're now known, will be eager to help you with as long as you help with their own plans to take over our world!" The Ghost Dopant said. "Say What?!" Sam, Tucker, Dani, Jack, and Maddie asked in shock. "Okay, clearly, even I did not see that one coming!" Skulker admitted. "Thank you for your help, foolish human!" Capricornius said, pulling out a radio. "Your majesty, we have him!" He said. "Excellent work! Get him back to the castle as quickly as possible!" King Draco ordered through the radio. "Yo, Drako! How have you been?" Futaba asked the Dragon Animarius. "Oh, a lot of things happened to me since you've helped me reincarnate into another world!" King Draco answered.
"Just follow these guys, and we can catch up." King Draco said. "Since they're with you, I can't argue with that!" Futaba replied. "But first, we need something to distract these goody two shoes." Futaba said, flying up to Danny. "Danny 'Phantom' Fenton, I've heard all about you during my travels of this realm. An accident left you half ghost, so you use your powers to fight those who seek to use theirs for evil. What...a...waste!" Futaba said. "Not the first time someone has told me that, probably won't be the last." Danny noted. "Oh Yeah, I've also heard that you weren't the first human to accidentally become half-ghost, someone by the name of Vlad 'Plasmius' Masters, I believe!" Futaba said. "Now he was a guy who knew how to get what he wanted!" Futaba said with a chuckle. "Where is he anyway?" He asked. "Don't know! Haven't seen him since the Disasteroid Incident, after my Dad abandoned him in space once Vlad revealed his true colors and failed to destroy the Disasteroid itself, which is made entirely out of pure Ecto-Ranium, an anti-ghost element that causes great pain to any ghost or half-ghost who touches it and prevents them from using their ghost powers! Very long story!" Danny answered.
"Oh well, I don't need him, especially since I have this!" Futaba said, using his powers to summon a black sarcophagus with Egyptian decals that Danny and his friends immediately recognized. "*GASP!* The Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep?! That's what Pariah Dark is sealed away in!" Danny said in shock. "Emphasis on 'was'!" Futaba said cackling. "Jokes on you! You can't open that without the Skeleton Key!" Tucker pointed out. "Oh, you mean this?" Futaba asked smugly as he presented the Skeleton Key in his hands. "What the?! But how?!" Sam asked in confusion. "I can easily teleport objects of any size and shape to my location, just by my thoughts and memories alone!" Futaba explained. "Get that key!" Danny said. "I'll get it! If it's one thing that I can't stand more than you, Phantom, is the idea of Pariah Dark returning again!" Skulker said as he aimed his wrist blasters at Futaba. "You'll have to get through them, first!" Morag said, summoning an army of Dustards. "What the heck are those things?!" Dani asked in shock. "Dustards, and just to make things interesting." Morag said. "Please send in some Neo-Lizardons." She said over the radio. Suddenly a portal opened up and a swarm of Neo-Lizardons appeared.
"Human-sized Mecha-Godzilla rip-offs?!" Tucker asked in confusion. "They're going to be the least of your concerns!" Futaba said, getting ready to use the Skeleton Key. "Hold It! You're not releasing the Ghost King while I'm standing!" Skulker said as he fired his wrist blasters at Futaba, though, unfortunately for him, Futaba was fast enough to dodge the blasts with ease. "In that case, as payback for locking me in that cage, I'd better deal with you first!" Futaba declared in calm fury as he then dove down towards Skulker and then punched a hole through his torso with his right metal glove, causing the latter to explode to smithereens and reveal a tiny glowing green bipedal blob-like ghost, which so happens to actually be Skulker's true form, coming out of the rubble. "HEY! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONG IT TOOK FOR ME TO REPAIR MY BATTLESUIT AFTER THE LAST TIME IT WAS DESTROYED?!" Skulker angrily asked in a higher-pitched voice.
This made The Ghost Dopant, Morag, Dormarchus, Capricornius, and Futaba laugh at Skulker's misfortune. "The most feared ghost hunter of the Ghost Zone is actually a tiny green blob in a mechanical suit?!" Dormarchus asked while still laughing hysterically. "SHUT UP!" Skulker said as Futaba picked him up and tossed him aside. "Now, where were we?" Futaba asked, preparing to open the sarcophagus. "Stop! Don't do this! If you release Pariah Dark, you would put everyone in the Ghost Zone and my world in total peril!" Danny begged. "Not our world, not our problem!" Futaba said, inserting the key. He then turned the key, causing the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep to open, revealing a large, well-built male humanoid ghost who had a white face with a red outline, long green hair, a braided green beard, green eyes, with a black scar on his right eye and a black eye patch over his left eye, and two gray horns on the sides of his head, the left of which being broken in half, while his outfit consisted of black full-body armor, with gray shoulder guards and boots, gray gauntlets with green spikes on the cuffs and knuckles, a green belt, which had a metallic circular buckle with a green center, a gray cloth hanging down from it, and a sword is fastened to it, a green shoulder strap that crosses over his right shoulder, and a cape, which is black on the outside and red on the inside and is fastened to his armor by two green skulls.
"Pariah Dark!" Danny and his friends said in fear. "I am back!" Pariah Dark said menacingly. "And with that, we're out of here! I think I'll take this as a little souvenir!" Futaba said, holding up the Skeleton Key. "Well, at least Pariah Dark would be vulnerable enough for us to take him down, since he only has the Ring of Rage on him and not the Crown of Fire!" Tucker noted. "Oh yeah! Thanks for reminding of that detail!" Futaba said as he then used his powers to instantly manifest the Crown of Fire in his right hand. "I really need to keep my mouth shut!" Tucker said in defeat as Futaba tossed the item over to Pariah Dark, who then puts the crown his head and became fully charged with energy. "You think?" Danny, Sam, Dani, and Jazz said in annoyance. "I'll get the key back!" Dani said, transforming into her younger, female version of Danny's hero self and flying after Futaba and the others.
At the same time, Desiree (who's a a tall, slim, green-skinned female humanoid ghost with red eyes, really extremely beautiful long black hair and a blue ghostly tail in place of legs, who wears purple lipstick, a blue headband, a blue strapless crop-top with a purple trim, a purple necklace, two metallic purple cuffs on each arm, one on her bicep and one on her wrist, and she has two blue bangle bracelets on her right wrist and one on her left, and a metallic purple belt with a blue jewel in the center, which hangs over her tail) was just flying by, until she quickly notices the commotion and saw Parish Dark out of the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep, causing her to get frightened. "*SHRIEK!* PARIAH DARK!" Desiree screamed in fright as she then flew away in fright in the same direction as Dani, causing the former to collide with the latter while they both entered the portal that Futaba, Morag, Dormarchus, Capricornus, and the Ghost Dopant escaped through. Landing in the Animarius Castle portal room, although no one seemed to notice at first, due to the arrival of everyone else. "Ah, it feels good to finally be out of that place!" Futaba said. "It's good to see you again, Futaba." King Draco said as he and Stephano walked in.
"Ah, Drako! I see that your reincarnated form has some familiar-looking aspects to you, being that you're a dragon and all! Plus, you've got wings now and a very impressive-looking sword there!" Futaba said upon noticing King appearance and the Shi no Gutai-ka in his hands. "And Isaka? Is that you?" Futaba asked. "Indeed." Stephano said. "No offense, but, how come you look like a child like myself?" Futaba asked in confusion. "Well, for one thing, when I was reincarnated in this universe, I was born twelve years ago as the firstborn and only child of the Inverso family, the leading family of the Inverso Mafia, which so happens to be one the local criminal organizations here!" Stephano explained. "But I was reborn with all my memories, and thanks to Drako here, I was able to find this world's True Gaia Memory, and start making Dopants of my own." He said, pointing to the Ghost Dopant who undid his transformation while Morag did the same.
"Well, technically, I'm not a Dopant, I'm a Zodiarts, major difference!" Morag pointed out. "Allow us to properly introduce ourselves! I'm Mano Fantasma, also known as the Ghost Dopant!" Mano said. "And I'm Morag! Technically, I'm not a Dopant, I'm a Zodiarts, specifically based on the Queen Constellation Cassiopeia, major difference!" Morag pointed out. "And I thought she was freaky before." Dani said. "We need to get that key! Without it, Pariah Dark will do who knows what!" Desiree said in worry as the two turned invisible. "So, Drako, what exactly have you been doing since your reincarnation?" Futaba asked. "What haven't I been doing? Let's see, I got reborn over 5,000 years ago as the crown prince of a planet called Animari Prime." King Draco started saying. "My own birth parents, named King Ddraig and Queen Tatsuko, were the original rulers of that planet and, later on, during my adolescent years, I ended up having a younger brother named Prince Tian, who was rather annoying to say the least, since he's a crybaby that often literally cries out pearls!" He added. "So, how did you end up becoming King?" Futaba asked. "Oh, that was easy! As soon as I reached young adulthood, not wanting to wait until the original King and Queen retire of old age, which wouldn't happen for a very long time due to Animarius in general having a far longer lifespan than other sentient races and the fact that and an Animarius's age rate slows down completely upon reaching adulthood, I decided to take the throne for myself by force, simply by killing my birth parents in their sleep with my sword, the Shi no Gutai-ka, meaning "Embodiment of Death", and taking their Soul Cores as trophies for myself! I also tried to kill my brother Tian and his friends Nyupe and Mobulus after they witnessed me killing the original King and Queen, but they managed to escape in a cryostasis pod that flew away far away off-planet to who knows where! Fortunately, I decided not to pursue them any further, since I figured that my brother's absence would mean that I can ascend to the throne without any direct competition! Once I've become King and brought together a group of like-minded Animarius who agreed with my plans, as well as execute those who don't agree with my rule at all, I started leading the Animarius Empire to a glorious campaign across the galaxy, by traveling through space in our castle, conquering several planets, and enslaving the inhabitants of said planets while leaving a few members of my Royal Guard in charge of those planets under my orders while we move on to other planets!" King Draco explained. "*Whistle!* Sounds like you have been living your dream of becoming ruler of the universe, haven't you?" Futaba asked. "Yeah, it was good times!" King Draco noted.
As King Draco was talking, Dani and Desiree snuck up to Futaba in an effort to take the Skeleton Key back, only for Cerberion, Dormarchus, and the Dog Dopant to sniff them out and for Cerberion to wrap his black chains around them. That caused both Dani and Desiree to scream in pain as the chains shocked them with dark electricity, forcing them to become visible again. "Looks like we've got some trespassers!" Cerberion said. That got everybody's attention. "Uh oh." Dani and Desiree said in fright. "Well, well, well! If it isn't Danielle "Dani" Fenton, a.k.a. Danny Fenton's younger female clone created by Vlad Masters! I've heard about you, though I have never actually met you before!" Futaba said upon noticing Dani. "Oh! And you must be Desiree, the wish-granting genie-like ghost, another one of Danny Fenton's enemies, one with a rather tragic past, I'd might add! Don't know why you of all ghosts are here though!" He added upon noticing Desiree. "Hey, I was just minding my own business, flying around the Ghost Zone, until I saw Pariah Dark being out of the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep again and totally freaked out, so I went to that portal of yours in a panic and ran into Danielle here by accident when she flew the same direction as I did! The only reason why I'm willing to work together with her is because I don't want Pariah Dark to take over the Ghost Zone again! Seriously, he's terrifying!" Desiree explained in complaint. "Hand over the key, Futaba!" Dani said angrily. "I don't think so! And just to make sure you don't try anything funny." Futaba said as Cicadeath shut off the Dimension Gate.
Back At The Ghost Zone...
As Danny and his friends and family were trying to fight Pariah Dark, Tucker noticed the portal closing. "Uh, guys? I don't mean to worry you, but that portal thing just closed, and neither Dani nor Desiree came back through it!" He said in worry. Everyone gasped in horror at that. "Oh No!" Danny said in worry. "Wait, Desiree? Why is she going along with Dani?" Sam asked in confusion. "Desiree's the Genie one, right? I think I saw her crash into Dani just as she followed them." Maddie said. "She must have saw Pariah Dark and gotten really scared enough to enter the portal in a panic!" Danny realized. "She was wise to escape. Because now that I am back, my reign can begin anew!" Pariah Dark said, laughing maniacally.
Later...
Dormarchus, as well as the two Foundation X agents Einstein and Antenna, just entered Royal Woods. "So, this, is Royal Woods, huh? Quite a quaint-looking town!" Antenna noted. "I take it this place is where the Kamen Riders of this universe reside!" Einstein said. "Indeed it is! So, how about you two go ahead and take on your Zodiarts forms and we can rampage together? That way, we can draw those heroes' attention and we can get to fight them!" Dormarchus suggested. "Fine by me!" Antenna said as she pulled out a Zodiarts Switch that's atomic green in color. "We need to test out what those riders are capable of anyway!" Einstein said as he pulled his own Zodiarts Switch of the same color. Then, the two Foundation X agents pressed their Switches and got enveloped in dark clouds while small Gamma-Ray bursts appeared in front of them, with Antenna's being formed into the Radio Telescope Gamma-Ray Constellation while Einstein's being formed into the Albert Einstein Gamma-Ray Constellation. Then, after their respective Gamma-Ray Constellation patterns merged onto their bodies, Antenna became a white mechanical female humanoid with a radio dish antenna on top of her head, a radio dish for a skirt, and two rail guns shaped like radio telescopes on her arms while Einstein became a silver armored humanoid with a white laboratory coat, a belt lined up with rows of chemical-filled test tubes and a single watergun-like device, and a head resembling a mechanical monstrous version of Albert Einstein, moustache and hairstyle included, with high-tech sunglasses and razor-sharp teeth. "Ah, yes! Now then, let's start up our rampage, shall we?" Einstein said as he then loaded up his watergun-like device with one of the chemical-filled test tubes and fired the chemicals at a random fire hydrant, causing the object to melt and then burst out water. "Gladly!" Antenna replied as she shot out energy blasts from her radio telescope-shaped railguns at a nearby tree, causing it to explode. "Let's do this!" Dormarchus said as let out a sonic howl from his mouth at a row of random buildings, causing the glass windows to shatter and nearby people to yell in pain while covering their ears.
"My, this should be fun." Futaba said as he watched from above, Dani and Desiree trapped in a bubble. "Oh, Man! We have to get out of here, but how?" Dani asked in worry. "I don't know!" Desiree said as the Machines LL, Jewel, Anansi, Decader, Ridevendor, Spirit Searcher, and Alchemy Arrow drove up, with Andros and Phixia flying in. "Alright, who are you and what's with all the chaos?" Lincoln asked in clear annoyance. "Yeah! Some of us are trying to have a peaceful evening here!" Sakura complained. "I am Dormarchus and I-wait a minute. You two!" He said, pointing to Andros and Phixia. "You are definitely Animarius. *Sniff* And you smell of General Leo and my cousin Sphinxia, yet you're with them?!" He said angrily. "I'm Andros!" Andros said. "And I'm Phixia!" Phixia said. "Biologically speaking, we're General Leo and Sphinxia's offspring!" She added. "But we don't have anything to do with our so called parents or the Animarius Empire!" Andros said.
"Especially since we fell in love with human kids our age!" The Sphinx twins said together, much to Dormarchus's shock and outrage. "Aw." Dani said, touched by what they said. "So you're having to deal with traitors like this too, huh?" Futaba asked King Draco, obviously referencing Apollonius and Celliane. "Unfortunately, yes! And those two aren't the only traitors! There's, Mambana, who's this Black Mamba Animarius that General Ophiuchus created from a regular Black Mamba and a Blank Soul Core, and she ended up turning on us at the same time as the Sphinx twins here, though it's because that girl named Aya over there used some sort of magic to undo Mambana's mental conditioning!" King Draco said while pointing at Aya. "Then there's Toadus, my former second-in-command and General of the Amphibian army, and Gorf, his apprentice and former Lieutenant of the same army, who both betrayed me 5,000 years ago after the former was saved by our sworn enemy, a human ronin named Hoseki Ryu!" He added.
"Lastly, there's Axolota, another traitor from the Amphibian army, though, before she fled the castle, I took the precaution of installing a tracking device in her Soul Core, just in case if she somehow ended up in the Kamen Riders' base! Unfortunately, for some reason, wherever she is right now, it's preventing the tracking device from working properly and we can't find her!" King Draco complained. "Dang." Futaba said. "Thankfully any and all traitors in my Mafia are quickly dealt with, and not in a pretty way, I assure you." Stephano hinted. "And just who are you two?" Aurachnid asked, pointing to Einstein and Antenna. "We are two of Foundation X's Gamma Ray Constellation Zodiarts, I am Einstein, this is Antenna." Einstein explained. "Gamma-Ray Constellation? What are those?" Aurachnid asked in confusion. "Constellations made up of Gamma Ray sources rather than stars." Lisa said over the comm link.
"There are a total of 21 of those gamma-ray constellations right now and they are modeled after a lot of random things, both fictional and in real life, some of which having some relation to gamma radiation! Judging by her appearance and name, Antenna is based on the Radio Telescope Gamma-Ray Constellation, which symbolizes all of the radio observatories working to support the Fermi mission, including the Australia Telescope National Facility, the Nançay Radio Astronomy Facility in France, the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, the Owens Valley Radio Observatory in California and many more!" She added. "As for Einstein, *GASP!* He's based on the Albert Einstein Gamma-Ray Constellation, who's named and modeled after the famous late scientist who proposed the theory of relativity, studied in atomic energy, and known for his famous equation, E=mc2, which expresses a fundamental interrelationship between energy and matter! Plus, Albert Einstein is actually one of my favorite role models as a scientist!" Lisa said in horrific realization.
"And he dares to use that image for evil?! This cannot stand!" She said angrily. "Uh Oh! Lisa-chan is really mad now!" Sakura said. "We'll deal with that later!" Lincoln said as he, Sakura, Shintomaru, and Edge strapped their drivers to their waists while Clyde allowed Aurachnid to bite his wrist.
0-0-0-1, Let's Go!
Ruby! Sapphire! Topaz! Emerald!
Spider On!
Taka! Tora! Batta!
Kamen Ride, Decade!
"Henshin!/Lucha Power!" The heroes called, taking on their heroic alter egos.
Ta-to-ba! Tatoba, Ta-to-ba!
"Oh, these guys look pretty interesting." Futaba said before a smile grew on his face saying he got an idea. "You know, Drako, I think we need to let these 'heroes' know I'm here. And I have just the thing to do so!" Futaba said. "And what would that be?" King Draco asked with intrigue. Futaba chuckled with glee.
Back at the battlefield...
"Alright, guys, let's-" Lincoln said before everyone looked up in the sky to see a giant portal open up. "Now what?" Edge asked. From that portal, a long, slender, marble-colored giant humanoid robot that had long arms with long, blade-like fingers, long legs that are shaped like marble columns, a gem in the center of its forehead, and a blue orb in the center of its torso that is presumably its heart. The beast roared.
On Vega...
Zen Fudo was meditating as his eye shot open. "No." He said in worry.
Back With the heroes...
"What is that thing?" Phixia asked in shock. "Maybe it's friendly?" Clyde said. The creature then looked down at the heroes in a menacing manner. "I don't think so, buddy! Lisa, call Ronnie Anne and the other Lucharangers, Aya, with us, everyone else, keep these guys busy until the others arrive!" Lincoln said. "Understood!" Everyone replied. "Let's go!" Lincoln said as he, Sakura, and Clyde pulled out their Vectors, catching Futaba's attention. "Huh? What are they doing?" Futaba asked. "Vectors, launch!" The three called, summoning their Vectors. "Vectors? What is all this?" Futaba asked in confusion. "Alebrije Henkei!" Aya called, taking on her mech form and flying up with Lincoln, Sakura, and Clyde. "Until we know what this thing is capable of, we need to keep a distance, Sakura, you're up!" Lincoln said. "Right, Lincoln-kun!" Sakura replied. "Let's go! Nenshin!" Lincoln called. "Gattai!" Clyde and Aurachnid called. "Go, Aquarion!" Sakura called. "Did she just say 'Aquarion'?!" Futaba asked in shock and anger.
(Cue "Kimi no Shinwa ~ Aquarion Dai Ni Shou" by AKINO with bless4)
As he asked that, the Vectors shot up into the sky. Afterwards, the Vectors started to transform, starting with Vector Jewel as it's front hull opened and straightened up before moving down to form arms while the back boosters containing the Topaz and Emerald detached themselves from the Vector as it's two large front turbine engines moved forwards to become the chest. Next, Vector Anansi front leg parts spread away from each other before twisting around, extending, and opened up panels to form the upper wings while its spider leg-structures on its sides extended and opened up panels to form the lower wings. Finally, Vector LL's front part splits open in halves, moved completely downwards and then extended to form the legs while its wings folded over it form a skirt, right before its tail fin split open and and stayed on the back. Plus, the boosters from Vector Jewel attached themselves to the ends of the legs to form feet, with the Topaz on the right foot and the Emerald on the left foot. After that, the Vectors finally started to combine. First, Vector LL merged underneath Vector Jewel. Then, Vector Anansi connected to the back to form the wings. Finally, the front hulls of Vector Jewel flipped over to reveal robotic hands with the Ruby above the right hand and the Sapphire above the left hand. Afterwards, the part of Vector Jewel that contains the cockpit twisted backwards and flipped open to reveal the head, which resembles that of Aquarion Spada, but with a heart-shaped visor and a silver bejeweled tiara on top of it. When the combination was completed, the resulting robot, which looks like a female robotic fairy, did a few dancing poses. Then, it finished by striking an elegant pose, similar to that of Fairymon/Kazemon from "Digimon Frontier", with its wings projecting out energy structures that resembles butterfly wings while Sakura shouted "AQUARION! JEWEL!".
Futaba was gobsmacked by the robot. "What?! That thing looks nothing like the Aquarion that I've encountered before!" Futaba said in shock. "You know about that thing?" Leo asked in confusion. "Very much so." Futaba said. "24,000 years ago, my people, the Shadow Angels were powerful beings, we killed humans relentlessly. Two of us were especially feared. Apollonius, and his brother Toma." Futaba started explaining. "However, one day, Apollonius encountered a human female named Celiane and, instead of killing her on sight like he should have done, he fell in love with her, which is something that even I don't understand why to this day!" Futaba said. "He and his companion, the Winged Hound Pollon, turned against us, and actually helped the humans fight back against us!" Futaba explained. "He even went as far as ripping his own wings off in order to rescue her when he and Celiane were captured and he was literally pinned to a wall!" He added. Everyone cringed at that.
"*Shudder!* And I thought having my wings cut off by LL was bad!" Tytus noted. "Not only that, but Apollonius created a weapon for humanity that serves as a counter against our Cherubim Soldiers, the Mechanical Angel Aquarion!" Futaba explained. "*Sigh!* You really want to know? Fine, I'll tell you! Back when I was alive, I was known as the Child Angel, since I'm literally the only child angel left amongst the rest of my kind that survived the destruction of Atlandia 24,000 years age, since all of the other survivors were all adults! Unlike the other Shadow Angels, I was rather naive and I didn't exactly have any natural hatred towards humanity to begin with, since I often see humans, or Wingless Ones as we often call them, as toys that I can play with while everyone else sees them as a food source for our Tree of Life, the sacred tree that we Shadow Angels had spawned from! Unfortunately, my ways of playing with them didn't exactly make the humans very happy, and my own playfulness cost me dearly, as I was playing a game against Solar Aquarion with a couple of Cherubim Soldiers I brought with me and while I was holding one of Apollonius's feathers, I didn't realize that I was being led into a trap by the humans, causing me to become captured in an aura-powered high-tech box and then took to me to a mysterious building before putting me in shackles for scientific testing, where those humans did the most horrific painful experiment on me, by killing me with machines and stealing my feathers in the process!" Futaba explained in a dark, bitter tone.
"After which he got sent to the Afterlife Nexus where he sometime later met us." Stephano said, gesturing to himself and King Draco. "And ever since my death, I had developed a hatred towards humanity and wanted to take revenge on them for what they had done to me! So much so that, when I was offered to be reincarnated by the Afterlife Court, I had refused, because I would most likely end up reincarnating as a human being instead of a Shadow Angel, due to my kind being extinct now!" Futaba said with his fist clenched in fury. "Yikes." Desiree said.
At The Kamen Riders' Base...
Lisa was watching the battle when Mecha Pollon approached her, barking. "What is it, boy?" Lisa asked as the robot dog projected a holographic communication with Zen Fudo. "Oh! Zen Fudo! It's been a while since we've last talked! What is it you're about to tell me?" Lisa asked in surprise. "Are the Riders in the middle of a battle?" Zen asked. "Yes, they are." Lisa said as Mecha Pollon positioned himself so Zen Fudo could see the monitor. "Just as I feared." He said. "You know what that thing is?" Lisa asked, pointing at the creature that Aquarion Jewel was facing off against. "Unfortunately, yes. Both myself and Mikage are very familiar with this beast due to our previous lives." Zen Fudo said, touching the area above his heart where his previous life's brother rests. "It is called a Cherubim Soldier, a common type of mass-produced sentient mech unit often used by the Shadow Angels to guard their Harvest Beasts and to fight against the forces of humanity and Aquarion!" Zen Fudo explained. "But how is that thing even here? From what your history video told us, the Shadow Angel race as a whole is practically extinct now! So, how is this even possible?" Lisa asked in confusion. "I'm afraid I don't know." Zen Fudo admitted. "Well, that is definitely not good!" Lisa said. "Any advice on how to defeat this thing?" Lisa asked.
"Well, if it's one thing that's known about Cherubim Soldiers, they are rather fast enough for their size and build!" Zen Fudo answered. "Good to know." Lisa said. "Furthermore, they can shoot disk-shaped beams from their long, blade-like fingers and they can fire a ray beam of light from the gemstone on their forehead! Other than that, they're usually easy to destroy, unless they are modified in some way!" Zen Fudo explained. "Let's hope this one wasn't." Lisa said.
Back with the heroes...
The Cherubim soldier was showing the Kamen Riders everything Zen Fudo just described, due to it's speed, it was hard to get a good lock with the Aquarion Bow, and it was hitting hard with the attacks mentioned before. "Dang it. Aya-chan!" Sakura said. "Right! Alebrije Busou!" Aya called, transforming into the Spirit Bowgun, which was caught by Aquarion. "AQUARION JEWEL! SPIRIT BOWGUN!" Aya announced, much to Futaba's confusion. "Okay, clearly, neither that beast nor that kind of weapon existed with the Aquarion that I know of!" Futaba said while perplexed. "It is a weapon of another set of heroes, the Alebrije Sentai Lucharangers. They exist in nearby Great Lakes City, fighting an army of demons named the Pecadiablos. Speaking of whom." King Draco said as the Lucha Karts drove in.
"Holy Shamoly! What on Earth is that thing?!" Ronnie Anne asked in shock after she and the others looked up and saw the Cherubim Soldier. "Nothing I've ever seen." Shintomaru said. "Sid, Casey, Sameer, Nikki, Laird, Carl, and Adelaide, we'll help them with that thing, everyone else deal with ugly, uglier, and ugliest over there!" Ronnie Anne said. "Hey!" Antenna, Einstein, and Dormarchus said in offense to that remark. "Right!" Everyone said. "Alebrije Henkei! Cho Alebrije Gattai!" The first eight Lucharangers called.
(Cue "The Red Savage Warrior" from "Power Rangers Wild Force")
Afterwards, the purple, blue, red, green, pink, and yellow Alebrije mechs transformed and combined into LuchaKing like usual while the gold and silver Alebrije went and changed differently. First, the gold Alebrije mech detached its head from its body while detaching it's lower arms containing its talons from its upper arms as well as detaching a golden piece from its chest, right before the upper arms moved upwards to the top of the body and positioned themselves forwards while flipping out two cannons from underneath the shoulder panels. As for its hind limbs, they folded in and flipped out two cannons from its hips before pointing forwards while the tail detached itself from the rear body. Afterwards, right after the wings detach themselves from the back, the body of the gold Alebrije mech split itself verticallly into two halves. Meanwhile, the silver Alebrije mech detached its head, wings, and tail from its body while it's four front legs folded into themselves and its two hind legs moved back, right before the body vertically split itself into two halves while two foot-like structures flipped out from the rear ends and two panels flipped open from the belly. Finally, the pieces started to come together. First, the pieces that were the silver Alebrije mech's body attached themselves to the bottom of LuchaKing's feet before folding their panels over said feet, becomeing the boots. Next, the silver Alebrije mech's moth wings vertically split from each other as they attached themselves to LuchaKing's legs, with one half attaching to right side of the green Alebrije mech and other half attaching to the left side of the yellow Alebrije mech. Then, LuchaKing's arms detached themselves from each other, allowing the pieces that were the gold Alebrije mech's body, upper front limbs, and hind limbs to attach themselves to each side of LuchaKing's torso before said pieces flipped out a connector point on each upper side that allowed LuchaKing's arms to attach to them. After that, the forearms of the gold Alebrije mech covered over the fists of LuchaKing before the heads of the gold and silver Alebrije mechs attached themselves above the forearms of the gold Alebrije mech, with the gold Alebrije mech's head attaching itself to the right forearm and the silver Alebrije mech's head attaching itself to the left forearm. Then, the falcon wings of the gold Alebrije mech attached themselves to lower back of LuchaKing, giving the Mecha six wings instead of four. Finally, the golden piece that came from the gold Alebrije mech's chest flipped around and detached another smaller golden piece from behind it that attached itself to LuchaKing's belt area, becomeing a championship belt buckle while the original larger golden piece attached itself to behind LuchaKing's head and flared out gun-like spikes at the sides and a crescent moon-like crest on the top to form a crowned helmet. Once the combination was completed, the newly formed mech flared out its six back wings (two condor wings, two Pteranodon wings, and two falcon wings) as the tail of the red Alebrije mech flipped out a handle from its rear before the silver Alebrije mech's tail attached itself there rear-first, which allowed the gold Alebrije mech's tail attaching itself rear-first to the tail fin the silver Alebrije mech's tail before the purple Alebrije mech's tail attached itself rear-first to the gold Alebrije mech's tail fin, resulting in a long bladed sword/spear-like weapon. Finally, after the new Mecha caught the weapon with its taloned hands, it flew up to sky and did a heroic dramatic pose with its weapon while the Lucharangers shouted "LUCHACHAMPION! AWAKEN!". Needless to say, Futaba was utterly shocked and confused at the sight of the Mecha.
"A Mecha Composed Of Eight Creatures?!" Futaba asked in shock and confusion. "Indeed. And it's to my understanding there are worlds with many more heroes like these kids." King Draco said. That made Futaba even more surprised. Dani then gasped with inspiration. "Desiree, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" She whispered to the Genie ghost. "Not really? What are you thinking?" Desiree asked back in confusion. "Maybe if we can figure out a way out of here and get that key back, we can get those heroes to help us defeat Pariah Dark!" Dani said. "That's great and all, but the only problem that we're trapped in this huge bubble that we can't even phase out of!" Desiree pointed as turned intangible and tried to phase through the bubble, only to get electrocuted upon touching it. Suddenly, the bubble popped, but thankfully, the villains were all too busy to notice.
"Okay, how did that happen?" Desiree asked in confusion. "Who cares? Now to get that key!" Dani said. "How?" Desiree asked. "You're a genie right? Well, I wish we had that key, and Futaba had this rock." Dani said, holding up a small pebble. "Okay, I guess that's specific enough! You're wish is my command!" Desiree announced as she zapped the rock and had it disappear while the Skeleton Key appeared in its place. "Nice! Now quick before they notice!" Dani said before the flew away. As this was going on, Tytus was hiding behind a pillar, polishing her Ninjato. "You're welcome." She said, chuckling.
Back with the heroes...
"Skyring, descend!" Ronnie Anne called, summoning the battle arena. Futaba was even more confused at that. "Yeah, apparently, they're concerned about collateral damage." King Draco said. "Follow us if you dare!" Ronnie Anne said as LuchaChampion and Aquarion Jewel flew up to the Sky Ring. The Cherubim looked confused, unsure of what to do. "Um, I'm thinking that creature is looking rather indecisive here!" Sid noted upon noticing that. "Good thing AkaRed added this feature." Ronnie Anne said, activating the Skyring's transport feature. That caused the Cherubim Soldier to instantly teleported in the middle of the Sky Ring, much to its initial shock and confusion. That caused the Cherubim Soldier to instantly teleported in the middle of the Sky Ring, much to its initial shock and confusion. "Cherubim Soldier! Destroy That Structure That You're Standing On!" He called out to the Cherubim Soldier. The Cherubim soldier fired it's attack on the Skyring, but unfortunately for it, the arena was really sturdy.
That made both it and Futaba rather infuriated. "Knowing how rowdy Super Sentai giant battles tend to get, of course I had to make these things strong." AkaRed told Mambana and Axolota while watching from the magic well. "That's rather clever, I've got to admit that!" Axolota noted. "And a good thing too! At least that would prevent any enemy from getting any ideas!" Mambana noted. "True! Though, I'm rather perplexed about that creature in particular, because I have never seen anything like it in my universe or in this one!" AkaRed said while looking at the Cherubim Soldier. "I've got to admit, a giant floating battle arena is a pretty clever idea. We usually just evacuate." Zen Fudo said. "Well, you have to thank AkaRed for that, cause he's the one who created the Sky Ring here!" Lisa said. "And who is he, exactly?" Zen Fudo asked with curiosity.
"A literal spirit that embodies the powers of a special kind of hero called the Super Sentai, specifically those that like our friend Casey, wear the color Red." She explained. "And before you ask, AkaRed is actually from a completely different universe than yours or mine!" Lisa added. "Fascinating." Zen Fudo said.
With the Ground Team...
They were in heated battle against Dormarchus and the two Gamma Ray Zodiarts. "Just face it you fish-dog thing, you and your friends are outnumbered!" Becky said boastfully. "Well then, let's even up the odds, shall we?" Dormarchus said as then tapped the cubes on his bandolier, causing a huge of army of ghosts, who are all of different genders, races, and ages and numbering in the thousands, to be summoned from them, with their eyes glowing an eery red and themselves behaving like they're under mind control. "What in the world?" Ricky asked. "Are they all G-g-g-ghosts?!" Bobby asked fright as the ghosts started attacking the heroes left and right. "They sure are! Each of these ghosts that I have collected in the last 5,000 years are either the souls of those that I've killed personally or those that have already been long dead! Like my cousin Cerberion and his orbs, I hunt down and collect human souls in these crystal cubes that I have on my bandolier! Of course, as you all can see, I can not only collect ghosts, but I also control them like puppets as part of my own personal ghost army!" Dormarchus explained with a wicked grin. "Oh, man! And I thought our biological uncle was disturbing, but you're clearly on a different level!" Andros said in utter repulsion while poorly attempting to fight against the ghosts. "And darn proud of it!" Dormarchus said. "What kind of dog are you anyway? I known Cerberion is based on Cerberus and you have the Mythical Army's symbol on your left shoulder like everyone else from the Royal Guard, but other than that, I have no clue!" Phixia said in confusion while struggling against the ghosts. "I'm based on Dormarch, of course!" Dormarchus answered. "And what exactly is Dormarch?" Shintomaru asked in confusion. "Apparently, Dormarch is Welsh mythical hunting hound that's actually one of the Cŵn Annwn, the hounds of the Welsh version of the Wild Hunt folklore, and belonged to Gwyn ap Nudd, lord of the fairy folk who had at some point acquired him from the Gweynedd king, Maelgwn Gwynedd! Description-wise, Dormarch has a single head, two front legs, and a body that narrows rapidly from the chest and terminates in three fish-like tails instead of hind legs like real dogs! Dormarch was also said to live among the clouds and, after battles, he would descend to the earth to collect the souls of fallen warriors and then bring them with him to join the Hunt!" Lisa informed through the comm link, just as Lucy and the rest of the Junior Morticians Club entered the base.
"WHAT?! Someone's using the image and powers of Dormarch for evil?!" They asked in shock. "*Gulp!* Unfortunately, yes! That and he, apparently, captured the souls of the dead, both from those he killed and those that are already dead, in those cubes on his bandolier, which he also uses to control said souls like puppets as part of his own personal ghost army!" Lisa said in fright upon noticing them, much to Lucy and her friends' anger. "This means war!" They said angrily as they went back up the elevator. "Oh dear! I've made my goth sister and her friends angry! Something tells me that they're about to do something rather dangerous!" Lisa said in worry. "All these ghosts is giving me an idea! Sorry about this, Stella-chan!" Shintomaru said, opening an Aurora Curtain and jumping in. "Woah, where did he go?" Par asked upon seeing that. "Yeah! What he said!" Bobby said. "Shintomaru can open up portals to other worlds. I guess he went to one to get us backup." Ronnie Anne said. "That's okay and all, but what can we do about these ghosts?!" Bobby asked as the ghost army continued attacking the heroes. "Yeah! We can't hurt them, yet they can hurt us!" Par complained. "That's a good question!" Ronnie Anne said. Dormarchus laughed at the heroes' misery.
Back with the Kamen Riders...
The Cherubim soldier was still trying and failing to destroy the Sky Ring. "What do you guys say we just destroy this thing and help the others?" Sakura asked, pushing the button that activates the Big Bang Smasher. "Fine by us!" Ronnie Anne replied. "Remind me when we go to Vega this weekend to ask who named this thing, Big Bang Smasher!" Sakura called. "LuchaChampion, Grand Victory!" The Lucharangers called as the two mechas unleashed their finishers. First, LuchaChampion summoned astral projections of the first eight Alebrijes that attacked the Cherubim Soldier relentlessly before LuchaChampion itself slashed the Cherubim Soldier with the Champion Saber. Afterwards, Aquarion Jewel charged up the twin turbines on its chest while aiming the Spirit Bowgun, right before it fired spirit arrows from the Bowgun and two large white energy beams from the chest turbines straight at the Cherubim Soldier, causing the latter to explode to pieces.
"You know, that is a good question, why did you name that cannon the 'Big Bang Smasher'?" Lisa asked Zen Fudo. "That clearly wasn't my idea! Obviously, it was someone else in Neo-DEAVA who must have added that feature without anyone else's knowledge!" Zen Fudo admitted. "And there's only one person on Vega who uses the term 'Big Bangs'." Zen Fudo said.
On Vega...
Andy sneezed.
Back with the Kamen Riders...
"Alright, let's-" Lincoln said, only for laughter to fill the air of the two mechas' cockpits. "What's that? Who's there?" Nikki asked in fright. "I must admit, you people were quite impressive to defeat my Cherubim Soldier." Futaba said. "That's what that thing was called?" Sid asked in confusion. "Cherubim? Wait, isn't that what Fudo-san said was one of the soldiers of the Shadow Angels?" Sakura asked as Futaba suddenly appeared in her cockpit. "Well, sounds like my people's reputation proceeds itself!" He said, startling Sakura. "KYAAAAAAHHH!" She screamed in fright as she tried to karate chop at Futaba, only to fail as her hand simply passed right through him harmlessly, due to him being a literal ghost. "Well, aren't you a feisty one. And those wings, not as impressive as a Shadow Angel's, but quite impressive nonetheless." Futaba said, running a spectral hand along Sakura's wing. "Hands off, punk!" Lincoln said angrily.
That got Futaba's attention before then teleported directly into Lincoln's cockpit. "Such a fiery spirit, reminds me of Apollonius." He said. "Who are you anyway?" Ronnie Anne asked in confusion. Futaba then appeared in the LuchaChampion cockpit. "I am Futaba, the Child Angel. 12,000 years ago, I was killed by humans, now thanks to my friends King Draco and Stephano, I am back to take my vengeance against humanity!" Futaba said, cackling. That made Lincoln, Sakura, Clyde, Aurachnid, and Aya gasp in total shock, remembering about Futaba from the Aquarion history video they watched when the Vectors first arrived in their universe. "That Cherubim was just the beginning! Once I find a way to get my full power back, humanity's days are numbered!" Futaba warned, fading away. That made the Lucharangers, especially Laird, rather frightened. "This could be a problem." Clyde said. "Yeah, but for now, we need to get down there and help the others!" Lincoln said.
"Uh, one problem with that, there are ghosts everywhere and we can't touch them while they can certainly hurt us!" Edge said as he was trying hard to deter the ghosts. "I do have Spirit powers, so perhaps that might be of help!" Aya suggested. "Only one way to find out!" Lincoln said. Then, the heroes undid their Mecha combinations and flew down to the battlefield. "It doesn't matter how many of you there are, you're all going down!" Dormarchus declared, siccing the ghosts on the heroes. "We'll just see about that! Aya?" Lincoln said. "Spirit freedom!" Aya called. She then shot out a beam of amber energy at a random male ghost, causing him to come out of his trance. "It's working! Keep going!" Lincoln said as Aya kept firing her spirit energy at the ghosts, freeing them. "Oh, No, You Don't! Antenna, Stop Her!" Dormarchus said to Antenna, who responded by saying "With Pleasure!" as she fired energy blasts at Aya, causing the latter to yell in pain as she got knocked to the ground while they're still quite a lot of ghosts left under Dormarchus's control, most of them notably being British warriors. "Aya-chan!" Sakura said as Dormarchus laughed, only to be crushed by the Iguana Ghoststriker landing on top of it. "Play dead." Takeru said on top of his signature ride.
"Takeru-Sempai?" Sakura asked in surprise. "Hey! Get off of me, you overgrown metal iguana!" Dormarchus complained. "We don't think so!" Makoto said as he, Kanon, and Alain in their rider forms also arrived. "Makoto-Sempai, Kanon-Sempai, and Alain-Sempai too?" Sakura asked in surprise. "You're welcome." Shintomaru said, popping up, loading a card into the Decadriver MK III.
Kamen Ride, Geats!
Taking on the form of the currently acting Kamen Rider, specifically in Magnum Form, Shintomaru pulled out said form's signature gun and aimed it at the two Gamma Ray Zodiarts. "Time to see what this guy can do!" He said. He then started firing at the two Gamma Ray Zodiarts. As Dormarchus finally got out from under the Iguana Ghoststriker. "Why you little!" Dormarchus said before siccing the ghosts on the newcomers. "Oi! What's wrong with these ghosts?!" Makoto asked in confusion. "Dormarchus is controlling them!" Lincoln explained. "Nani?!" Takeru, Makoto, Kanon, and Alain asked in shock. "Hah! That's right! Not only do I use these cubes that I have here on my bandolier to capture human souls, wether they be those that I've killed myself or those that are already dead, but I also control them like puppets and have them act as my personal ghost army!" Dormarchus explained wickedly, much to Takeru's anger. "Yurusenai! How dare you treat human souls just like that?!" Takeru asked angrily. "Because it's fun that way, that's why!" Dormarchus replied boastfully before laughing, much to Takeru's further anger. Meanwhile, up on a roof, Dani and Desiree were watching. "This could be troublesome." Dani said. "To say the least!" Desiree said. "Okay, who are you two and why are you both here?" Lucy asked as she and her friends popped up behind Dani and Desiree, causing the latter two to get spooked.
"Wha-ho-di-whe-huh?" Dani asked in confusion. "Oh, sorry about that! We were climbing up to the roof by a tree to safely perform a summoning ritual when we noticed you two and got curious!" Rocky said. "I'm Lucy, this is my boyfriend Rocky, and my friends Haiku, Boris, Dante, Morpheus, and Persephone." Lucy said. "We're known as the Jr. Morticians' Club." Haiku explained. "You definitely look the part." Dani said, a little disturbed. "Thanks!" Lucy and her friends said at once with a grin, giving Dani and Desiree chills up their spines. "Anyway, listen, we don't mean any trouble, we came here from another world, and we need the help of those guys in armor and spandex because our world is in huge trouble!" Desiree explained. "How huge are we talking about?" Dante asked. "I'd say the size of those robots and that alien creature thing from earlier." Dani said. "Fortunately for you, amongst those people in armor and spandex are my brother, his girlfriend and best friend, and another member of our club." Lucy said.
"By the way, what are your names?" Persephone asked. "I'm Danielle Fenton, but everyone calls me 'Dani', and this is Desiree." Dani said. "Hello!" Desiree said. "What is she anyway? Some sort of genie?" Dante asked, making the rest of the Jr. Mortitians' Club look at with a "Really?" look. "What? The female Arabian outfit and the presence of a spiritual tail instead of legs has to mean that she's a genie!" Dante said. "Actually, yes! I'm a Genie Ghost." Desiree explained. "Genie Ghost? Wait a minute! Does that mean you're actually dead?" Morpheus asked. "Eh, it's complicated." Desiree said. "Yeah, I don't really know much about her past, since I've never really interacted with her before! She's usually an enemy of my older "cousin"!" Dani said. "Why the air quotes?" Lucy asked. "Because I'm technically a clone." Dani explained. "A clone?!" Lucy and her friends asked in confusion. "It's a long story." Dani said.
"I'll tell you about that later! So, you guys were saying something about a summoning ritual?" Dani asked. "Oh right!" Lucy said. "We are about to summon Gwyn ap Nudd, the king of the Tylwyth Teg, a.k.a. Welsh Fairy Folk, the leader of the Welsh Wild Hunt, and the ruler of Annwn, the Welsh Otherworld! Since Dormarchus here is based of Gen ap Nudd's finest hound Dormarch and using that hound's motif for evil, we've decided to summon the ruler of Annwn himself to punish that monster for enslaving those ghosts!" Lucy explained while holding a book detailing Gwyn ap Nudd himself. "You seriously think that will work?" Dani asked. "The boy in the indigo colored spandex is part Leprechaun, those wings on the girl wearing armor aren't for show, and we've met a Baku, so why not?" Lucy asked. "I don't know what a Baku is, but I guess you've got a good point there!" Dani noted. "Let's get started, then." Lucy said.
Back with the others...
Shintomaru, in his Geats form, was fighting against both Antenna and Einstein, until the very latter Zodiarts shot acid from his weapon at the reborn Kamen Rider's gun, causing it to melt like putty. "Dang it!" Shintomaru said. "Nice shot, Einstein! Now it's my turn!" Antenna said as she started firing energy beams at Shintomaru. Fortunately, Shintomaru was smart and quick enough to dodge the beams before they could hit him. "Hey, punks! Try that with me!" Edge said, loading the Tajadol coins into the O Driver and running the O Scanner over them.
Taka! Kujaku! Condor! Tajador!
Entering OOO's super form, Edge unleashed a barrage of peacock feathers at the two Gamma Ray Zodiarts. "Hey!" Einstein and Antenna complained. "Thanks for the help, Edge-kun." Shintomaru said, loading another card into the Decadriver MK III.
Kamen Ride, Saber!
Transforming into Kamen Rider Saber, Shintomaru pulled out and ignited the Kaenken Rekka, while Edge pulled out the TajaSpinner. "Ikuzo!" Shintomaru said as they charged.
With the other riders...
They and the Lucharangers were fighting against Dormarchus's ghost army while Adelaide used her Healing Moon on Aya, causing the latter wake up. "Thanks, Adelaide!" Aya said. "No problem!" Adelaide said. "They're having trouble, how much longer?" Dani asked. "Everything's set up, we just need to do the ritual itself." Haiku said. The set-up Haiku had mentioned consisted of a magic circle with a Triskelion (a Celtic symbol consisting of three conjoined spirals) in the middle and surrounded by a dozen green, red, white, and grey candles. Plus, there were emeralds, amethysts, and ukanite gemstones as well as Holly, Mint, and Cedar leaves in the circle. "Dang, you kids really know your stuff. It's honestly kind of disturbing." Desiree said. "Thanks! We're not just young Morticians, but we're also fans of the occult and we also show respect to death, except for murder of course!" Haiku said. "I've also called my father and told him to cook up some Pork with a side of Apple Sauce and a bottle of Mead right away, cause that's what we intend to give to Gwyn ap Nudd, along with the gemstones here, after we summon him and after he helps us take down Dormarchus! Plus, since I get the feeling that he won't be coming alone, we went ahead and brought a bucket full of apples from Liam's farm for his horse Du y Moroedd and a box full of chopped pork, beef, mutton from a butcher shop for his hounds, the Cŵn Annwn!" Lucy said as she pointed at a wooden bucket of Apples and a crate full of chopped pork, beef, and mutton (sheep meat) that are next to the spell circle.
"Okay, while you guys are doing that, I think I'll help them by keeping the monsters busy." Dani said, flying down to the battlefield and striking Dormarchus with an Ecto Blast. "YEOW! Hey! Who did that?!" Dormarchus asked angrily. "Up here, Fido!" Dani called, making everyone look up. "What?" Futaba asked in shock, looking behind him to see the bubble that contained Dani and Desiree gone, before looking down to see that instead of the Skeleton Key, he had a rock. "Why that sneaky little!" Futaba angrily said before crushing the rock into dust. "What the? Who are-" Lincoln started asking. "No time to explain!" Dani said. "How did you get out of that bubble we've trapped you and that other ghost in?!" Dormarchus asked in confusion. "To be honest, I'm not so sure myself!" Dani admitted. "But, what matters is that I'm here to stop you!" She added.
"Just who is this girl? I'm seeing an aura, and it's pretty crazy." Aya said. "How so?" Sakura asked. "She's alive, yet she's also a ghost!" Aya answered. "And a clone?" She said quizzically. "Nani?" Sakura asked in confusion. "Long story!" Dani said as the skies darkened. "Now what?!" Aurachnid complained.
(Cue "The Wild Hunt" by Jaeger)
Then, neighing and howling noises can be heard as a mystical portal opened up in the sky, causing a large powerful white horse, ridden on by what appears to be a muscular man with a darkened face and pointed ears who's wearing ancient Welsh clothing (consisting of a tunic with a belt, which had a sword in a scabbard on the left side, a cloak, and trousers), a quiver of arrows and a longbow on his back, and a fur cowl over his head with a male Deer's head on the top while having a Barn Owl perched on his left shoulder, to appear out of it while running in the air and being accompanied by a pack of hunting dogs that are white with red ears that were also running in the air. From the ground, Lucy and her friends were awed and amazed, but also slightly disappointed. "Dang It! we forgot that Du y Moroedd, the black water horse, is the one that Gwyn ap Nudd only rides on during the Wild Hunt! The white horse is Carngrwn, Gwyn ap Nudd's true steed" Lucy noted. "We also forgot that he's sometimes occupied by an owl!" Haiku noted as the white horse, identified as Carngrwn, Gwyn ap Nudd's true steed, landed gracefully onto the battlefield with the hunting dogs doing the same, right before the horse's rider stepped down from his saddle. They then turned to Desiree. "You're a genie, right? Which means you can grant wishes, right?" Boris asked. "Yes and yes." Desiree said. "We wish we had enough offerings to make up for this faux pas." Lucy said.
"Your wish is my command!" Desiree said with a sneaky grin as she used her magic to make a ton of gemstones, apples, and meat slices rain down on top Lucy and her friends until they were buried in a pile of the stuff. "Thank you. And ow." Lucy said in a monotone voice. "You're welcome!" Desiree said. "Ooh! Yeah! I forgot to mention that, from what my "cousin" did tell me about Desiree, if the wish isn't completely specific in detail, then it can have dire consequences and also she can manipulate that wish in any way she chooses!" Dani explained while wincing. "Now you tell us." Rocky complained. "At least this should be more than enough." Haiku said. "Uh, what's going on? Who is this guy?" Clyde asked nervously. "Greetings! I am Gwyn ap Nudd, son of Nudd Llaw Ereint! I'm the king of Tylwyth Teg, the ruler of Annwn, the leader of the Welsh Wild Hunt, and the one who guides the souls of fallen British warriors to the afterlife! I have reason to believe that I've summoned here for a purpose!" The horse rider, now identified as Gwyn ap Nudd, said.
"Indeed you have, your lordship." Lucy said, coming out of the pile. "This being has been using the image and powers of Dormarch and has captured these spirits and is controlling them to do evil deeds." She explained, pointing to Dormarchus. "Uh Oh!" Dormarchus said in worry. Upon looking at the Animarius in question, Gwyn ap Nudd quickly recognized him. "*Gasp!* I remember you now! A few hundred years ago, while I was out doing my duty of guiding the dead, I've spotted you capturing a huge score of British warrior souls in those cubes and, when I had my prized hound Dormarch hunt after you for that transgression, you went and captured him in one of those cubes too before teleporting off to another location where I couldn't reach you!" Gwyn ap Nudd angrily said while pointing at Dormarchus, who gulped nervously. "Yes, well, anyway, your Lordship..." Lincoln said, doing a bow. "If you could kindly free these spirits from his control and do whatever it is you do with them, my associates and I will handle him and his friends, Mecha Pollon!" Lincoln called.
That's when Mecha-Pollon automatically turned off the hologram of Zen Fudo, spread out his wings, and flew out of the base and entered the battlefield in a matter of seconds. "What in the world?!" Futaba asked in shock. "That thing looks exactly like a metallic version of Pollon?!" He added. "Trinity Buster time, Mecha Pollon-chan!" Sakura said as Mecha Pollon barked before transforming into said weapon. "What in the world?!" Futaba asked in shock. "So if you could, we don't want to risk anything." Lincoln said. "And of course, in exchange, we have these lovely offerings for you and your noble companions." Lucy said, gesturing to the pile she and her friends just got out of. "The apples would be a good treat for Carngrwn and Du y Moroedd and the pork, beef, and mutton cuts would provide my Cŵn Annwn with some good food! Plus, the amount of emeralds, amethysts, and ukanite gemstones is large enough for me to share with the rest of the Tylwyth Teg! I'll gladly accept them!" Gwyn ap Nudd said. "Thanks! I've also told my father to cook up some Roast Pork with a side of Apple Sauce and a bottle of Mead for you, which should be ready after this battle is over!" Lucy informed.
"Much appreciated, young mortal." Gwyn ap Nudd said. "Too bad we don't have anything for your owl companion!" Persephone said, referring to the Barn Owl on Gwyn ap Nudd's left shoulder. "That's okay! His preferred food is mice anyway, but he can accept leftover beef as reward treats, which shouldn't be a problem because of amount of meat here!" Gwyn ap Nudd said. "Now then." He said, looking at the spirits under Dormarchus' control. "To free those spirits!" He declared as he got back onto the saddle of Carngrwn and drew out his sword from his belt before charged towards the solders on horseback, with his hunting hounds, now identified as the Cwn Annwn, following behind him with their teeth bared out and his owl companion flew off his shoulder and bared out his talons. As he swung his sword, he cut through an invisible thread attached to the back of one of the spirits, specifically an ancient British warrior, causing the ghost's eyes to turn from red to normal colors while snapping back to his senses. "I've been freed? I've Been Freed!" The British warrior spirit said in glee as Gwyn ap Nudd continued freeing the ghosts from Dormarchus's control with his sword while, at the same time, the Cwn Annwn catch some other ghosts with their teeth and keep them still while the Barn Owl cut through the invisible threads on the ghosts with his talons in midair, freeing the ghosts as well. "What? No!" Dormarchus said in horror. "Neo-Lizardons! Stop him and those animals!" He ordered as a bunch of Neo-Lizardons appeared from the bushes and charged towards Gwyn ap Nudd and his animal companions. However, Gwyn ap Nudd saw that and said "I don't think so!" as he slashed a few of the metal lizards with his sword before he brought out his longbow and started drawing out and firing arrows at the rest of the Neo-Lizardons with perfect accuracy, straight at their eyes, causing them to get blinded before the Cwn Annwn easily tore the metal lizards apart with their teeth, much to Dormarchus's anger. "Grrrrrrr! Alright, that's the last straw! I was hoping to not to use the centerpiece of my collection for battle, but you left me no choice! Dormarch! I command you to attack!" Dormarchus announced as he took a glowing crystalline cube from the center of his bandolier and summoned from it a nonhumanoid white hound with a ruddy nose and red ears like the rest of Cwn Annwn, with the obvious difference that this dog has a body that narrows rapidly from the chest and terminates in three fish-like tails instead of hind legs like real dogs do. Furthermore, this dog as glowing red eyes and is snarling ferociously, indicating that he's being controlled like the ghosts. "*Gasp!* You dare to turn Dormarch, my best hound, against me?!" Gen ap Nudd asked angrily. "Since you and your animal companions have been freeing my ghost army and easily defeated the Neo-Lizardons, Yes, I Am!" Dormarchus said as the triple fish-tailed nonhumanoid dog, now identified as Dormarch, charged towards Gwyn ap Nudd with his fangs bared out. However, before he could get any closer, he was stopped as Aya shouted "Spirit Freedom!" and shot a beam of amber energy at Dormarch, causing him to stop what he was doing. "What just happened?" Gwyn ap Nudd asked in confusion. "I've just used my Spirit powers to free your best hound from Dormarchus's control, that's what happened!" Aya answered as Dormarch's eyes turned from red to a normal eye color while the hound came to his senses before looking at Gwyn ap Nudd in excitement. "Dormarch? Are you alright?" Gwyn ap Nudd asked, to which Dormarch barked happily in response before hovering up to his master and started licking his face. "Oh, it's good to see you again, too!" Gwyn ap Nudd said while Dormarchus was utterly shock and unhappy at what just happened. "This is just not my day!" Dormarchus complained. Then, Dormarch took notice of the Animarius and started growling at him, remembering that he was captured by the latter. "I'd... Better get out of here!" Dormarchus said in fright as he tried to make a run for it, only for Dormarch to quickly chase after him and the catch the Animarius by biting him at one of his fish tails *CHOMP!*. "YEOWCH!" Dormarchus yelped in pain as Gwyn ap Nudd's best hound kept him from moving.
"We'll take it from here, Sealing Blast!" Lincoln called, pulling the Trinity Buster's trigger while Gwyn ap Nudd and his animal companions jumped out of the way while the Dormach let Dormarchus go just as he got hit by the attack, causing him to explode, leaving behind a Soul Core with a Dormach imprinted on it. "Damn it!" Einstein cursed. "And you two are next!" Shintomaru said as he loaded the Final Attack Ride Card in the Decadriver MK III while Edge loaded seven Core Medals into the Tajaspinner, running the O scanner over it.
Final Attack Ride, Decade!
Gorilla, Tora, Kamakiri, Unagi, Zou, Cheetah, Batta, Giga Scan!
That caused Edge to launch a gray, yellow, green, and blue energy disc at Antenna while Shintomaru jumped up and did his signature Rider Kick at Einstein, causing the two Gamma-Ray Zodiarts to explode and revert back to human form while their Zodiarts Switches and an atomic blue-colored Eyecon with the image of the number pi and a triangular prism on the top with the word "Einstein" beneath it fell onto the ground. "Quick! Catch those switches, press them and toss them away to get rid of them!" Shintomaru said as he and Edge picked up the Zodiarts Switches. "I really wouldn't do that if I were you!" The atomic blue Eyecon warned direly in a male German accent as it started floating up into the air on its own, much to the reborn Riders' confusion. "What do mean by that?" Edge asked in confusion. "If you press those switches, you'll blow us all to kingdom come!" The Eyecon answered, causing the two riders to gasp in shock while Einstein and Antenna smirked. "You really think that it was going to be that easy to defeat us?" Einstein asked rhetorically. "Those Gamma-Ray Zodiarts Switches are a bit different than regular ones! If someone other than the designated user presses them, they'll explode like a miniature nuclear warhead, which is rather deadly to anyone in a citywide radius!" Antenna explained as the two Foundation X users laughed. "Dang It!" Shintomaru and Edge complained. "Fear not! I have an idea around that!" AkaRed announced as he came onto the scene and carried with him two golden blank Kyutamas. "Really? How so?" Edge asked. "After looking at those two Zodiarts, are based on Constellations made from Gamma-Ray sources instead of stars, I decided to take a quick trip to the Kyurangers' universe, asked Tsurugi to make 21 of these Neo Kyutama for me, that way, they can contain the power of the Gamma-Ray Constellations so that they can be used for good!" AkaRed explained. "Observe!" He said as he placed the two blank Neo Kyutamas on top of the two Gamma-Ray Zodiarts Switches, causing the latter objects to become absorbed by the former ones, with the first Neo Kyutama having the image of a white Radio Telescope while the second one gained the atomic blue image of Albert Einstein's face, much to the two Foundation X agents' chagrin. "Dang It!" They complained.
They then pulled out the syringes the previous Zodiarts employed by Foundation X used, jabbing their chests with them, screaming in pain, causing them to turn into stardust. "Eh, no big loss, there are still 19 of them back in HQ." Akuji said upon seeing this from afar as Shintomaru picked up the Eyecon. "An Eyecon based on Albert Einstein? Interesting, hey Takeru-san, catch!" Shintomaru said, tossing said item to Kamen Rider Ghost. "Eh?! Albert Einstein?! But how?! He wasn't part of our usual Eyecon group and he most certainly wasn't present with the other historical figure souls in the Village of Heroes at the Island of Eyecons!" Takeru said in shock and confusion. "The people who employed those two who just died created this thing and then used some sort of necromancy to whisk me out of the afterlife and then imprison me in here!" The Eyecon, identified as the actual Albert Einstein, explained.
"So Foundation X is working on both Zodiarts and Eyecons? Great, just great." Edge complained. "But, what would Foundation X be doing with Eyecons to begin with? It can't be for Ganma use, since the entire Ganma race has been fully reformed! So, what purpose does Foundation X have for Eyecons? And more importantly, how are they able to make Eyecons, since the Great Eye had already left Earth years ago!" Shintomaru pondered. "Then, how about I answer that question!" Akuji declared as he suddenly arrived at the scene. "Nani? Who are you?" Makoto asked. "Sone Akuji, head of Foundation X's Eyecon division." Akuji introduced. "As well as." He said, summoning a device that resembled Takeru, Makoto, and Kanon's drivers, albeit without the face covering and colored blood red with razor-sharp teeth in its mouth, on his waist. "Kamen Rider Mortem." He said, pulling out the Eyecon he showed the Animarius Empire earlier, which was colored black with a blood-red face, shaped like Ghost's face but with sinister angular eyes and a jagged fanged smile, on the top and the word "Mortem" underneath the image, and clicking the button, revealing the capital letter 'M' in the middle of the Eyecon. "Nani!?" Takeru asked in confusion. Akuji then opened his driver and placed his personal Eyecon into it before closing it back up, causing a Parka Ghost, resembling a blood red version of Takeru's Parka Ghost but with five wisp horns instead of one, to be summoned out of the driver's single eye.
Eye! (~Dark Heavy Metal Music!~) Batchiri Jaaku! Batchiri Jaaku!
As the Parka Ghost floated around him, Akuji announced "Henshin!" before then pulled the driver's trigger, causing its eye to blink and open up to reveal his personal Eyecon's symbol.
Kaigan! Mortem! Bad Go! Kakugo! Jaakuna (Sinister) Ghost! (~Dark Guitar Riff!~)
That caused Akuryo to gain his own Transient Suit, which was black-and-blood red with a five-horned eye symbol on his chest, right before his Parka Ghost merged with him, the same way that Takeru, Makoto, Alain, and Kanon's Parka Ghost's do, and lifted up its face to form his helmet, which resembles his Eyecon's symbol with five Wisp horns on his forehead. Afterwards, he lifted up his hood. "You have got to be kidding me!" Alain complained. "I'll be leaving you with this, but be warned. Armadeiras and I aren't the only Dark Kamen Riders that are allying themselves with the Animarius Empire." Mortem warned. "Armadeiras? Who's he?" Kanon asked in confusion. "The Kamen Rider identity of Shibogumon, a Brazilian Wandering Spider Kaijin who was destroyed by Sakura-chan, but survived as he transferred his consciousness into a cybernetic spider that can control a robot called the Skeletron." Shintomaru explained. "He's also the one who recently murdered Clyde's birth mother during our visit to Africa!" Aya added sadly, causing the four veteran riders to gasp in shock. "Yeah, it wasn't pretty. But who else could you be talking about?" Shintomaru asked. "You'll have to wait and see!" Mortem said, teleporting away. "That was ominous!" Aurachnid noted. "Thank you for your help, Lord Gwyn." Lucy said, bowing. "You're welcome! And I should thank you all! If I wasn't summoned here, I would never have reunited with Dormarch here!" Gwyn ap Nudd said as he rubbed Dormarch's head. "Awww!" Sakura gushed. Just then, Lynn Sr and Rita came outside, with the former holding a whole Pork Roast on a plate while Rita was holding a bowl of Apple Sauce, with a spoon in place, in her left hand and a bottle of Mead (an alcoholic drink) in her right hand. "So many questions are being raised." Rita said. "Ah, this must be the rest of the offerings. In that case, I must be off. We will be eating well tonight!" Gwynn ap Nudd said, vanishing, taking all the offerings and his animal companions, including Dormarch, as well as the freed ghosts with him.
"Now that that's taken care of, I believe you two said you needed help?" Lucy told Dani and Desiree. "Oh! Yes! We do! Thanks for the reminder!" Dani replied. "Just who are you two?" Azalee asked. "I'm Danielle Fenton, but everyone calls me Dani, and this is Desiree." Dani said. "Pleasure to meet you!" Desiree said. "Is it just me or does she look like a female genie?" Edge asked. "That's because I'm a Genie Ghost!" Desiree said. "Wait, how is it that you're both a genie and a ghost at the same time?" Shintomaru asked in confusion. "It's a bit complicated!" Desiree said. Just then, Aya's eyes started glowing white when she looked at Desiree's aura. "Whoa! Apparently, despite having genie powers, Desiree was originally a human being, back when she was alive! Before she died, Desiree was a harem girl who won the heart of a sultan! He promised to grant her all of her heart's desires and even a kingdom of her very own! However, she was cast away from the palace by the sultan's jealous wife! After dying of a broken heart and, apparently, old age, though I don't know why she currently looks like a woman in her 20s, Desiree's spirit wandered around as a ghost genie, forever granting others' wishes, but at a great personal cost!" Aya said upon reading Desiree's aura, much to Desiree's sadness as she was reminded of her own tragic past.
"How did you?" Dani asked. "I can see auras." Aya explained. "Auras?" Dani asked in confusion. "A distinctive atmosphere or quality that surrounds and is generated by every person, thing, or place. Everyone on my late mother's side can see them. We can also do this!" Aya said, shifting to her Werehyena form. "What the heck?! Some sort of spotted werewolf?!" Dani asked in shock, much to Aya's annoyance. "Oh, for crying out loud! I'm not a werewolf, I'm a werehyena! Don't you even know what a hyena is?!" Aya asked in annoyance. "Actually, no, I don't, cause I never seen a hyena before, let alone a werehyena!" Dani answered. "Well, anyway, I can tell a lot about a person just by looking at their aura. For example, from yours I can see that you're a clone of a guy named Daniel 'Danny' Fenton, made by a guy named Vlad?" Aya said, looking at Dani's aura.
"*Sigh!* Yeah! That's the gist of it! Vlad Masters, also known as Vlad Plasmius, created me after several unsuccessful attempts to create a clone of his archenemy Danny Fenton, also known as Danny Phantom, in an effort to create the perfect half-ghost son for himself to use as his obedient lackey, though, for some odd reason, I'm 'born' as a twelve-year-old girl rather than a boy, which, now I that think about it, doesn't really make much sense, because Danny, the one whose DNA was used to create me, is actually a fourteen-year-old high school boy!" Dani explained. "Dang." Lincoln said. "Dani-chan, you said that you needed our help? What's wrong?" Sakura asked.
Enough Time To Explain The Prologue As Well As Pariah Dark's Backstory And What Happened In The Danny Phantom Episode "Reign Storm" Later...
"And now both the Ghost Zone and the human world are in danger!" "Holy Shamoly! If this Pariah Dark is as dangerous as you say he is, then we need to stop him!" Lincoln declared. "Exactly! The only problem is that when Desiree and I got caught by those Animarius guys after we've entered the portal and attempted to get the Skeleton Key from them, they went and closed the portal connected to our world, which means we have no way to get back!" Dani said sadly. "Fortunately, we do!" Lincoln said, gesturing to his Vector. "Onboard my Vector is a device that can allow it to penetrate the dimensional wall, with some tweaking, it should help us get to your world in no time!" He explained. "And I have just the thing that can upgrade the aforementioned device!" Lisa announced as she joined the group. "You guys remember that Project Infinity file that we had recovered from that fallen satellite two days ago?" She asked.
"Lisa-chan, did you seriously steal confidential information from the US Government?" Sakura asked, realizing what Lisa was going at. "Relax, Sakura, I let Dr. Elijah Cosmos, a fellow scientist I often chat with online and the creator of Project Infinity, and his superior General Whitlock know that we've recovered the file from that satellite and how we prevented it from falling into the wrong hands and they said that, due to Project Infinity still being in the experimental process and the fact that The Garbageman once stole the equipment needed for that project, it's better that I keep the file and, under the condition that I provide them with crucial data every time we go to other dimensions, we can use it for our benefit, especially since I've told him about your identities as superheroes! Plus, General Whitlock is an old friend of our maternal grandfather from the U.S. Army and he was quite surprised when I told him about the fact you're a superhero now, Brother Unit!" Lisa explained, much to Lincoln's embarrassment.
"Anyway, as I mentioned before, Project Infinity is a project that was meant to be able to travel to other dimensions, but the Garbageman stole the technology before they could fully test it." Lisa started explaining. "As for why the file for that project was in that satellite in the first place, apparently it was to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands!" She added. "Obviously, that almost didn't work out too well." Lisa said. "Thankfully, since that file is in our hands now, with the permission of US government officials of course, we can use it to upgrade the portal projector located in Vector LL, so that it can not only take us to any universe we can find, but it can show us the universes in question through a dimensional barrier window before we select one of them and create a portal to it!" Lisa said. "Thankfully, since that file is in our hands now, with the permission of US government officials of course, we can use it to upgrade the portal projector located in Vector LL, so that it can not only take us to any universe we can find, but it can show us the universes in question through a dimensional barrier window before we select one of them and create a portal to it!" Lisa said.
"Perfect!" Lincoln said. Soon, the Vectors were in the sky, followed by the Lucharangers in their mech forms. "Thanks for coming with us, Takeru." Lincoln said as Takeru, along with Makoto, and Dani, were riding in Vector LL, while Kanon and Desiree were riding in Vector Jewel, and Shintomaru, Edge, and Alain were riding in Vector Anansi. "No problem! Since we're dealing with a malevolent Ghost King, it should be appropriate for us help out!" Takeru replied. Just then, a compartment on the bottom of Vector LL's cockpit floor opened up to reveal Azalee's twin brother Aden appearing out of it and yawning, as if he was just waking up from a nap. "Aden? What are you doing here?" Lincoln asked in confusion. "I got a bit bored, decided to explore one of the Vectors, found a hidden compartment in the cockpit floor, and then I took a nap!" Aden answered, right before he took notice of Dani and started falling head over heels in love with her.
"Hello. I'm Dani." Dani said. "Aden." Aden said. "Long story short, she's from another dimension and needs our help." Lincoln said. "I see!" Aden said as all he was doing was just staring at Dani in a loving gaze. "Is he okay?" Dani asked in confusion. "Oh, yeah! I forgot to mention a few things! First off, Aden is my younger twin brother! Secondly, he has very bad luck when it comes to romance, mostly because, even though he doesn't do anything that can be considered as stalking or harassment, whenever he asks any random girl if they want to be his girlfriend, they would often reject him for various reasons, wether it be that they're already taken by someone else, they simply have no interest in him at all, or they want to be just regular friends! And judging by the way he's behaving now, I think he's fallen in love with you, Dani!" Azalee explained to the comm link, much to Aden's embarrassment.
"Azalee!" Aden complained, making Dani chuckle. "If it helps, perhaps I'll think about it and give you my answer after this whole ordeal against Pariah Dark is over!" Dani suggested. "Really? Thanks!" Aden said. "Wait, who's Pariah Dark?" He asked in confusion. "No time to explain!" Lincoln said, activating the Portal Projector, creating a portal that the Kamen Riders and Lucharangers all flew through.
Meanwhile, in Amity Park...
Danny, Jazz, Jack, and Maddie, along with Valerie Gray in her black-and-red armored suit with hoverboard, some of Danny's ghost allies/reformed enemies, specifically Amorpho, Wulf, Dorathea (in her Dragon form), Sydney Poindexter, Frostbite and the yeti ghosts, Cujo the ghost dog, Elastica, Goliath, Green Kid, Pandora, the Dairy King, and Clockwork, and several of Danny's enemies, namely Skulker (now in a new Battlesuit), the Box Ghost, Lunch Lady Ghost, Ember McLain, Walker, Bullet and his goons, Klemper, Youngblood, Johnny 13 and his Shadow, Kitty, Hotep RA, Undergrowth, Nicolai Technus, Lydia, and Penelope Spectra, fighting against Pariah Dark's skeletal ghost army as they were starting to invade the human world. Of course, Pariah Dark, along with Fright Knight and his steed Nightmare, Vortex, and Nocturn were leading the army against the humans and ghosts. "You humans and ghosts are all pathetic! Why don't you understand that your victory last time was nothing more than a fluke, and it'd be better to just swear fealty to me now, like Fright Knight, Vortex, and Nocturn?" Pariah Dark asked with a smirk.
"That's because, if it's one thing we cannot stand, it's tyrants like you!" Danny retorted. "We maybe enemies, but if it means taking you down, we have no problem working together!" Ember said, playing a riff on her guitar, causing spectral sound waves to hit Pariah's soldiers. "Yes, now watch as I Technus, master of all technologies-" Technus said, beginning his usual spiel. "Does he really have to do that every time?" Maddie asked in annoyance as Technus had said this line 20 times in the last five minutes. "Quiet! Watch as I create something so big you will have no choice but to surrender!" Technus said, laughing just as the portal created by Vector LL opened up. That caused everyone to stop what they're doing and look up in surprise as the Vectors and Alebrije mechs flew out of the portal. "What in the world? Technus, what did you do?" Danny asked in annoyance. "Hey, don't look at me, I was going to take those computers and build a giant T-Rex!" Technus said, pointing to a nearby electronics store.
"Well, if that portal and those things aren't you're doing, then where did they come from?" Danny asked. "Sumimasen, minasan (Excuse me, Everyone) to those of you not allied with the one named Pariah Dark, fear not, we are here to help. For those of you who are allied with him, EAT THIS!" Sakura said over a loudspeaker, repeatedly pushing the buttons on her controls that allowed Vector Jewel to fire it's lasers. Those lasers immediately hit and destroyed some of skeletal ghosts. "You said that's your girlfriend?" Dani asked Lincoln. "Yep." Lincoln said. "Cool!" Dani said. "What's going on here? Who dares interfere!?" Pariah Dark asked as the Kamen Riders beamed down from the Vectors while the Lucharangers landed, shifting back to their human forms. "We dare!" The heroes answered at once. Lincoln, Sakura, Shintomaru, Edge, Takeru, Makoto, and Kanon prepared their drivers, while Clyde allowed Aurachnid to bite his wrist, summoning his own driver and Alain prepared the Mega Ulord.
0-0-0-1, Let's Go!

At the same time, the twenty Lucharangers all announced "Lucha Power!" as they all transformed into their hero forms. "What in the world?" Danny asked. "Danny!" Dani said, rushing over to her "cousin". "Danielle? What's going on here? Who are these people?" Danny asked in confusion. "The Champion sworn to protect humanity at all costs! Kamen Rider LL!" Lincoln called. "The Princess destined to eradicate the darkness of evil with the light of good! Kamen Rider Jewel!" Sakura called. "The Spider Warrior from Africa, chosen by Kwaku Anansi himself! Kamen Rider Anansi!" Clyde announced. "Like the phoenix from the ashes, I am reborn! Protector of worlds, Kamen Rider Decade!" Shintomaru called. "Also reborn from death, the Core Medal user with the desire to protect everyone, Kamen Rider OOO!" Edge called. "Connecting the hearts of luminaries! Kamen Rider Ghost!" Takeru called. "Kamen Rider Specter!" Makoto called. "Kamen Rider Necrom!" Alain called. "Kamen Rider Kanon Specter!" Kanon called. "Kamen Riders!" They all called.

"Guardian spirits awaken and unite! Alebrije Sentai!" Ronnie Anne chanted. "Lucharanger!" They all called. "The one who inherits the Red Souls! AkaRed!" AkaRed announced as Pariah Dark blinked in confusion before laughing out loud. "Seriously? You brought a bunch of technicolor clowns to help you?" He asked Dani and Desiree. "Hey!" The heroes said in offense to that comment. "Well, it doesn't matter how many of you there are, this world will soon be mine!" Pariah said before noticing the Vectors. "You arrived via those, right?" He asked. "What's it to you?" Lincoln asked. "That portal must have lead to another world, which means, once I conquer this one, all I have to do is take your jets for myself, and I can conquer any world I want!" Pariah Dark said, laughing maniacally. "That's what you think, Pariah Dark, Tall, and Ugly!" Lincoln said, making Pariah Dark gasp in appall while Danny said "Oh, Snap! That's a good one!" with a smirk before chuckling a bit.
"How Dare You Mock My Name, Child?!" Pariah Dark asked angrily. "Believe me, my sister Luan would have said much worse." Lincoln said. "Get them!" Pariah Dark ordered his soldiers. That's when the skeleton ghosts, some riding on skeleton dragons and skeleton horses, charged towards the heroes while Fright Knight, Vortex, and Nocturn followed behind. "Guess this is as good a time as any to test this out!" Takeru said, pulling out the Toucon Boost and Einstein Eyecons. Takeru then removed his own Eyecon from his driver and put the Toucon Boost Eyecon in its place.
Ippatsu Toucon! Eye! Bacchirimina! Bacchirimina!
"Henshin!" Takeru said as he pulled the lever again, causing him to turn into his Toucon Boost Damashi form.
Touconkaigan! Boost! Ore ga Boost! (Go!) Furuitatsu Ghost! (Fight!) Go! (Fight!) Go! (Fight!) Go! (Fight!)
He then clicked the button on the Einstein Eyecon. That caused the letters "AE" to appear in the Einstein Eyecon's center, right before Takeru replaced the Toucon Boost Eyecon with the Einstein Eyecon.
Eye! Bacchirimina! Bacchirimina!
That caused a Parka Ghost, who resembles an atomic yellow-and-white version of Albert Einstein's iconic coat, with the Pi numerical symbol set across the chest area, two triangular crystal prisms at the shoulders, and Albert Einstein's iconic hairstyle on the hood part. "Let's see how well we can work together, shall we, Takeru?" The Einstein Parka Ghost asked. "Right, Einstein-san! Henshin!" Takeru said as he pulled the lever again, causing the Einstein Parka Ghost to merge with him and then lift up up his face to reveal a new helmet with an atomic yellow stylised Pi numerical symbol and a triangular prism below it, right before Takeru summoned the Gan Gun Saber in its Naginata Mode.
Kaigan! Einstein! (~Classical Music~) Kukan to Jikan (Space and Time)! Kōsoku to Sōtaiseiriron (Lightspeed and Theory of Relativity)! (*Light Shining!*)
"Okay, I am so confused." Tucker said watching from his PDA as he and Sam were evacuating the city. "Clearly, those were Japanese words!" Sam noted. "Let's go!" Lincoln said, summoning his screen.
1-7-6-4, Sword!
Summoning his bladed weapon, Lincoln lead the charge against Pariah Dark's forces. First, Edge was fighting alongside Frostbite and the yeti ghosts. "This is certainly a new experience I've never had, even in my previous life!" Edge said, fighting with the Medajalibur and Tora Claws. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Kamen Rider OOO! I'm Frostbite, a friend and ally of Danny Phantom, or as my people refer to him, the Great One or the Savior of the Ghost Zone!" Frostbite said. "It's likewise nice to meet you as well, Frostbite-san." Edge said, loading some Cell Medals into the Medajalibur. Then, Frostbite and the yeti ghosts froze a few skeleton ghosts in ice, right Edge ran the O Scanner over the Medajalibur.
Triple Scanning Charge!
Edge then sent an energy slash at the frozen skeleton ghosts, causing them to blown to pieces. "Impressive!" Frostbite said. "Arigato! Thanks! You and your people's cryogenic powers are impressive too!" Edge replied. "And come to think of it! I believe I have set of Core Medals that might have similar powers to yours!" Edge said as he then pulled out a set of three new Core Medals, with the first one being ash gray with the image of a Walrus's head, the second one being white with the image of a Polar Bear's head, and the third one being navy with the full body image of a Penguin. He then switched out his usual Core Medals with the new ones before running the O Scanner over his driver.
Seiuchi (Walrus)! Shirokuma (Polar Bear)! Penguin! (~Winter Jingle~) Sei! Shirogin! Sei! Shirogin! (*Drums Playing, followed by Cold Winds Howling and Ice Cracking!*)
That's when the images surrounding Edge stopped and showed the symbols of the Seiuchi, Shirokuma, and Penguin Core Medals before they then merged into one symbol and attached itself to Edge's chest to convert his form into a brand new form that has an Ash Gray Walrus-themed helmet with walrus tusks on each side of his upper head and red eyes, a pair of snowy white arms with large protruding pauldrons on the shoulders and gauntlets in his lower arms modeled after Polar Bear paws, complete with claws at the tips of his fingers, and a pair of navy-and-white shin armor shaped like penguin bodies, complete with penguin head-shaped kneepads and webbed feet shaped like penguin feet. The name of this new Polar Animal-themed combo is Seishirogin Combo. "Impressive." Frostbite said."Arigato! Now, let's see what this Combo is capable of!" Edge said as he used the Shirokuma Heels, his Polar Bear paw-themed gauntlets, to not only slash at some more skeleton ghosts with his claws, but also literally freeze the enemies solid on contact. He then generated a torrent of water from his Penguin Legs before charging towards the frozen skeleton ghosts like a jet in midair and using the Seiuchi Fangs, the Walrus Tusk-like structures on each side of his head, to shatter them to pieces. He was then confronted by a larger skeleton ghost with multiple arms and carrying different types of bladed weapons. "It's a bit early for a finisher, but what the heck!" Edge said as he ran the O Scanner over his driver again.
Scanning Charge!
Edge then generated streams of water from his Penguin Legs by flapping the flippers on his shins, using the pressure differential to create a whirlpool that he unleashed on the large multi-armed skeleton ghost, causing it to get trapped. Then, Edge charged up ice-cold energy into his Shirokuma Arms with his fists closed. "Gokkan Blizzard!" Edge announced as he then jumped upwards towards the multi-armed skeleton ghost and delivered a powerful punch from the Shirokuma Arms, supplemented by freezing air, right at it, causing the foe to become frozen solid on contact. Finally, as the Seiuchi Head glowed in ash gray energy, Edge shouted "SEIYA!" as he delivered a powerful headbutt, supported by the Seiuchi Fangs, that shattered the frozen multi-armed skeleton ghost into smithereens as he then landed on the ground with a superhero pose. "Now that's what I call breaking the ice!" Edge said in a half-joking manner as Frostbite and the other yeti ghosts clapped at Edge's accomplishment. "Impressive! Very impressive indeed!" Frostbite said.
Meanwhile...
Aya and Dani were fighting alongside Ember. Out of curiosity, Aya looked at Ember's aura and gasped. "Dang girl, you have one seriously messed up backstory!" She said. "Huh?! What do mean?!" Ember asked in shock. "Apparently, before you died, you were an unpopular high school girl who strongly dreamed of one day becoming a rock star! Then, one day, a boy asked you out to the movies! However, you waited all night for him to show up, all while saying that he's just running late! Then, when morning came and he still didn't show up, you gave up on waiting and went home! Sadly, you were so exhausted that you fell asleep and didn't wake up when your house mysteriously caught on fire, causing you to die in the flames!" Aya said, much to Ember's bitterness. "Wait, how did you-" Ember started saying. "I can see auras, within them, I can tell a lot about a person, and wow. Great idea to use that to make a song, though. Too bad you tried to use that song for nefarious purposes." Aya noted.
"Well, excuse me! The reason I did that is because I really hate adult authority and I wanted every same-minded teen on this planet to be at my side when I get to overthrow the adults! And I really would have gotten away with it to, if it wasn't for Danny Phantom and his meddling dipstick friends!" Ember said bitterly. "That's still no excuse for using your song for evil! Seriously, hypnotizing and enslaving your fans with your music is very hypocritical of you, because it makes you an authoritarian person yourself! In fact, from what my aura tells me, the real reason that you did all those nefarious purposes is because, other than your rebellious attitude, you were actually trying to vent out your anger and frustration over the fact that the boy who asked out to the movies never showed up and you died from the fire after going home all exhausted!" Aya said in a scolding manner, causing Ember to, for the first time in her life as ghost, to start tearing up in sadness before crying loudly. "Dang, she's good." Jazz said, after watching this interaction.
"Yeah! Apparently, Aya here is from a long line of African witch doctors!" Dani explained. "In addition to being able to see auras, she can also transform into something called a 'Werehyena', which is like a werewolf, but a Spotted Hyena rather than any wolf." She said. "Really? Yikes!" Jazz said. "Yeah." Dani said. "Tell you what, Ember! Perhaps after this whole battle is over, I could use my spirit powers to help you find that boy missed out your date, that way you can give him a piece of your mind!" Aya suggested, much to Ember's surprise. "Yes please!" Ember said, cracking her knuckles.
Meanwhile...
Jalissa was teaming up with the plant-themed ghost Undergrowth. There, she used her nature powers to summon a swarm of vines that formed into a fist that smashed down on a group of skeleton ghosts. "Thanks! Whoever you are!" Undergrowth said. "No problem." Jalissa said. "Say, you what kind of ghost are you, exactly?" She asked. "I am Undergrowth, master of all things plant life and vegetation, who I call my children!" Undergrowth answered. "Oh, I get it! You must be not a human ghost, but a dryad ghost!" Conerrapingo said. "Dryad?" Jalissa asked in confusion. "A powerful, territorial, and sometimes formidable nature spirit of Greek mythology that holds domain over forests, jungles, and other various woodland environments! It is said that the wrath of a dryad can vary depending on what crimes against a forest a person is guilty of, but it is never pleasant!" Conerrapingo explained. "That's right! I never really liked humans, especially when they caused so much pain to my children by either cutting them down, shredding them to mulch, or even just straight up run them over just build their houses, malls, and other metallic monstrosities! In fact, I was enemies with the one called Danny Phantom after I tried to mind control humans that care about nature with my vines to make them my children to look after plant, and also tried to eliminate those who disrespect and trample on plantlife itself, only to be defeated by him and his friends!" Undergrowth explained, much to Jalissa and Conerrapingo's annoyance. "Seriously? I get that there are humans out there that don't respect the environment very much, but trying to outright eliminate them is wrong and pure evil! And mind controlling humans who do respect the environment for your own personal benefit? That's taking things way to far!" Jalissa said in annoyance. "Well, excuse me for wanting to protect my children that badly! Besides, I see plantlife as more important than animal life!" Undergrowth retorted. "One very big problem with that statement, Mr. Undergrowth! How would plantlife survive without any animal life?" Conerrapingo asked. "What do you mean by that?" Undergrowth asked back. "While animals, and humans by extent, breath oxygen that the plants produce in the air, plants, in turn, need the carbon dioxide that the animals exhale from their mouths into the air in order to breathe themselves! In other words, just like if every human and animal suffocates to death without oxygen if there are no plants left in the world, plants would eventually suffocate themselves when there is no more carbon dioxide from the animals left! Plus, there are animals that help plants grow and reproduce! Earthworms, woodlice, and termites help by feeding on dirt and decaying plant matter, mainly dead leaves, rotting wood, and spoiled fruit, to fertilize the soil with nutrients that help plants grow healthy and strong while Bees, butterflies, hoverflies, hawkmoths, hummingbirds, kinkajous, and certain species of bats help by spreading out the pollen from flower to flower everytime they go looking for nectar! Plus, when certain species of plants, whether they be trees or vines, produce fruits, it's because they actually want any herbivorous animals nearby to eat those fruits, so that the animals would disperse the seeds hidden inside the fruit through their poop! Yeah, I know, that last part is gross, but it also does help provide nutrients for the seeds once they start growing into plants! Also, there are carnivorous plants that rely on insects and other small invertebrate animals as their own food source, mainly due to the soil not providing enough nutrients for them to grow properly! Anyway, the point is that nature isn't just limited to plantlife, also animals and humans, as well as other organisms such as fungi, protists, and even bacteria, though viruses don't count, since they aren't considered true living organisms even though they made of organic manner!" Conerrapingo explained. "*Groan!* Fine! Besides, the only reason why I'm helping Danny Phantom fight against Pariah Dark is mainly because when I thought about joining the Ghost King like Fright Knight, Vortex, and Nocturn, I quickly realized that he doesn't respect plantlife like I do nor does he even care about them! In fact, he even said he considers plantlife to be just as insignificant as humans, right before disintegrated an entire tree with one blast from his Ring of Rage, which is, in itself, a direct insult to me and my children!" Undergrowth said in annoyance. "Okay, that's a fair point." Jalissa said, smashing some more skeletons with a fist made of vines.
Meanwhile...
Ronnie Anne, Sid, Becky, and Dodge were teaming up with Johnny 13 and his girlfriend Kitty, as well as his Shadow, as they were fighting directly against Vortex himself. "You are going to regret messing with me!" Vortex said, shooting lightning out of his hands at the three sets of couples, only for Ronnie Anne to use her own Electrokinesis to redirect it back to him. "YEOW!" Vortex yelled in pain as the attack weakened him and caused him to shrink a little. "What the?! But how?! I'm supposed to be perfect storm, not you!" Vortex asked angrily. "What part of 'Storm Power' do you not get, you idiota?" Jaxondor said. That made Vortex growl in anger. "I'll show you!" He said. Vortex then created two duplicates of himself, one Red and one Blue, and started attacking, with the Red duplicate shooting out beams of heat from his eyes, the Blue duplicate blowing out pure cold from his breath in the form of ice and snow, and the original Vortex generated a highly enhanced sonic blast of high wind amplitude at the heroes and ghosts. "Uh oh." Ronnie Anne said.
That's when the beams of heat hit both Becky and Dodge, causing them to scream in pain, while the cold breath froze Ronnie, Johnny 13, and Kitty alive, and the sonic wind blast hit Sid, causing her to get knocked out. "Ha! What do you think of that?" Vortex asked. "*Groan!* I think that sonic wind blast of yours really hurt my ears and gave me a serious headache! Ow!" Sid said as she clutched her head in pain from that sonic attack while still laying on the ground. "Hah! That oughta teach you not to mess with me!" Vortex proudly said. "Here's what I think about you, Hombre Tornado!" Carl said angrily as he came by and used his Solar powers to melt the ice that Ronnie Anne, Johnny 13, and Kitty were trapped in. "Phew, thanks, Carl!" Ronnie Anne said as Vortex shrieked in pain. "What's going on?! Why is your mere presence is causing me harm?! What is this power you have?!" Vortex asked in shock and confusion. "Didn't you get the meaning of "Solar Power"? It means that I have powers of sunlight, stupid!" Carl answered, much to Vortex's fright. "No! Not sunlight! Anything but that!" Vortex said in fright.
"Oh, you don't like sunlight, do you?" Carl asked, smirking beneath his helmet before entering Supernova mode and jumping towards Vortex. As soon as he started pummeling Vortex multiple times, Vortex started to scream in extreme pain as the solar-powered punches started to make him shrink. "AAAAAAAGH! LOOK WHAT HAVE YOU'VE DONE! I'M SHRINKING!" Vortex yelled in agony as he continued to shrink into a much smaller size while still being pummeled by Carl. Johnny started laughing. "Look at him go!" He said as Ronnie Anne rushed over to Sid, who was still reeling from what Vortex had done to her. "Sid, are you okay?" Ronnie Anne asked her girlfriend. "*Groan!* I think that sonic attack he did on me overloaded my sensitive ears and now I'm having a severe headache!" Sid complained in pain. "Here, Sid! Let me help you!" Adelaide said as she came over and then used her Healing Moon ability on her older sister.
"Thanks, Adelaide." Sid said as Carl landed one last punch to Vortex...just as the time limit for Supernova mode ran out. "And now, time's up!" Carl said as he stood still like a statue while Vortex, due to all of the solar-powered damage done to him, was now the size of mouse. Vortex laughed nervously as the Lucharangers, Johnny, Kitty, and Shadow glared down at him. "Anyone got any ideas on how to deal with this tiny tempest?" Kitty asked. "Please be gentle!" Vortex begged as Ronnie Anne picked him up. "Yeah, what you did to my girlfriend, I don't think so!" Ronnie Anne said as her one free hand sparked with electricity. "Girlfriend?" Johnny 13, Kitty, and Shadow asked in confusion. "Yeah, it's a bit of a long story, but from the dimension we came from, same-sex romantic couples are a bit more commonplace, and not just between girls, but also between boys too! Basically Sid and I are a young all-female couple, and so are Becky and Dodge here!" Ronnie Anne explained. "Oookay!" Johnny 13, Kitty, and Shadow said with a weirded out tone. "Yeah, even if it's commonplace today, there are some people who are still uncomfortable about the idea of same-sex relationships, but we don't care! But, anyway, it's clobbering time for you, tornado twit!" Ronnie Anne said as she started spinning her sparked up fist. "Not in the face! Not in the face!" Vortex begged in fright as he prepared for the worst that Ronnie Anne has in store for him.
Meanwhile...
Sakura, Clyde, Casey, Sameer, Nikki, Azalee, Laird, Aquene, Cianán, Carlota, CJ, Bobby, and Par were teaming up with Technus, the Box Ghost, Lunch Lady Ghost, Youngblood, Lydia, Penelope Spectra, Wulf, Sydney Poindexter, Dorathea (in her Dragon form), and Klemper against Nocturn and his own personal army of fat green ghosts with no eyes and sewed eyelids with fang-like teeth, called Sleepwalkers. "Get them, my sleepwalkers!" Nocturn ordered. "They're called Sleepwalkers? Then, call me the sandman!" Sameer said, summoning a large sandstorm that caught the Sleepwalkers. "Very interesting! Let's add some fire into the mix, shall we?" Sydney Poindexter said before winking at Dorathea, who grinned in understanding and then breathed fire at the sand-encased Sleepwalkers, causing the sand to turn into molten glass, right Klemper used his ice breath to cause the molten stuff to quickly harden into solid glass, trapping the Sleepwalkers in the process. "Very well played! Let's see how well you all fare against me in the dream world!" Nocturne said as he then expelled a sort of blue mist from his hands at the heroes and ghosts, causing them to instantly fall asleep and then appear in a dark empty landscape, with Nocturne looming over them. "You're all mine now!" Nocturne said while laughing maniacally. "Big mistake, punk! You're not the only one here who has Dream Powers!" Aquene pointed out. "Huh? What do you mean by that, little girl?" Nocturne asked.
Smirking beneath her helmet, Aquene summoned a giant Lavender Dream Catcher that began sucking Nocturne's landscape inside. "Dream Catchers like this one catch bad dreams in it's webbing, looks like it's doing the same to you!" She said. "What?! No! You Can't Do This To Me! I'm The King of Dreams! You're Not Supposed To Win In My World!" Nocturne said in horror as the giant Dreamcatcher started sucking him inside too. Laird started laughing. "That's my girlfriend for you!" He said proudly. As soon as soon as Nocturn was fully sucked inside, everyone instantly woke back up into real world, where Nocturn was seen on the ground and in despair. "Yatta! Great thinking with that Dream Catcher, Aquene-chan!" Sakura said. "Thanks! With my Dream powers, it was a piece of cake! Fun fact about dreamcatchers in general, they were actually inspired by spider webs, since, according to Ojibwe legend, the protective charms originated with the goddess Asibikaashi, better known as the Spider Woman or Spider Grandmother in other Native American tribes because the fact she has been known to take the shape of an old, or timeless woman or the shape of a common spider, who takes care of the children and the people on the land and, as the Ojibwe Nation spread to the corners of North America, it became difficult for Asibikaashi to reach all the children, so the mothers and grandmothers wove webs for the children, which had an apotropaic purpose and were not explicitly connected with dreams!" Aquene said, much to the interest of Aurachnid.
"Why you little-" Nocturne said weakly, struggling to get up. "Hey, Nocturn! Take a look at this! It's a real gas!" CJ said in a joking manner as he then turned around and let out a loud fart *PFFFFFFFFFFT* as he released a stinky gas cloud right at Nocturn's face, causing the latter to cough and gag in disgust. "*COUGH! COUGH!* Good Grief! What On Earth Have You Been Eating, Kid?!" Nocturne said as he continued gagging from the gas cloud. "I am so glad I don't have to share a room with those two." Carlota said with a chuckle as Nocturne fainted.
Meanwhile...
Shintomaru, Takeru (in Einstein Damashi form), Makoto, Alain, and Kanon were teaming up with Amorpho, the Dairy King, Pandora, and Clockwork against Fright Knight and his demonic Alicorn steed Nightmare. As Shintomaru was fighting, he saw someone out of the corner of his eye, someone he thinks looked familiar.. "Huh?" He said, looking in the direction, but saw no one. "Something wrong, Shintomaru-kun?" Kanon asked in confusion. "Odd choice of words I know, but I feel like I just saw a ghost." Shintomaru said before running back to the battle. "So, it is true. The destroyer of worlds is back." A man in a gray trenchcoat said, chuckling, while out of eye and earshot of everyone. "And as a young boy this time around!" He added. The man then walked away, chuckling. Meanwhile the others were still trying to fight Fright Knight. "You fools stand no chance against me!" The Fright Knight declared as he slashed his sword right at Amorpho. However Takeru, with enhanced speed courtesy of the Einstein form, dashed, rescuing Amorpho.
"Thanks, mister!" Amorpho said. "Do any of you have an idea on how to defeat this guy?" Shintomaru asked the ghosts. "Nope!" Amorpho answered. "Afraid not!" The Dairy King said. "I don't know either!" Pandora said. "I do! I have been watching Danny and his exploits through time in my lair! Since the Fright Knight is also known as the Spirit of Halloween, What's the one thing that can he be sealed away in? Here's a hint, it's often mistaken as a vegetable when it's actually a fruit!" Clockwork said cryptically. "That's easy! It's a pumpkin, a fruit often used on Halloween to make Jack-o'-lanterns!" Takeru said. "Exactly! The only way to defeat him is to seal him away inside of a pumpkin, simply by taking his sword, the Soul Shredder, and plant its blade into that fruit!" Clockwork answered. "Where are we going to get a pumpkin?" Shintomaru asked. "I don't know! The grocery store, perhaps?" Amorpho guessed.
"Oh! It doesn't have to be an actual pumpkin! If it's an object shaped like a pumpkin or Jack-o'-lantern that's big enough to fit, it would do just as fine! Of course, you'd have to recite a certain certain spell while planting the sword into the pumpkin, otherwise, it won't work!" Clockwork said. "Really? How does the spell go?" Alain asked. "Too bad I won't give any of you the chance to know that!" Fright Knight declared as he, without warning, slashed his Soul Shredder at Clockwork, only for Makoto to get the way and got hit instead, causing the latter to suddenly disappear, much to everyone's shock and horror. "Makoto-niichan!" Takeru said in worry. "Oh, you just crossed a line!" He said as he then pulled the trigger of his driver.
Daikaigan! Einstein! Omega Drive!
He then charged up the triangular crystal prisms on his shoulders before they shoot beams of light, shaped like the equation E=mc2, that stunned the Fright Knight and Nightmare before Takeru then charged towards the enemies and punched them rapidly while running around them in circles. Afterwards, he brought out the Gan Gun Saber, in its Naginata Mode, and then pulled his driver's trigger again while scanning his weapon over his driver's eye.
Daikaigan! Einstein! Omega Drive! Gan Gun Mina! Gan Gun Mina! Omega Stream!
He then charged each weapon's bladed end with swirling atomic yellow energy before he then zoomed towards the foes at high speeds and pressed the trigger on its handle to rapidly slash the Fright Knight and Nightmare with both of his weapons blades while spinning the weapon around until he then finished with a triple slash that left a glowing pi symbol on the enemies' bodies that exploded at sent them back while damaging them. This also knocked the Soul Shredder out of Fright Knight's hands, which Shintomaru quickly grabbed. "Quick, find a pumpkin or something that resembles one and place that in it! It will defeat Fright Knight and free everyone he attacked with it from the pocket dimension he sent them to!" Danny said after seeing this from afar. "Okay, but what about the spell that would properly activate the sealing?" Shintomaru asked.
"All you have to do is say 'To cease the storm, to end the fear, the sword must sheathe in pumpkin near'!" Danny instructed. "If it's a pumpkin you need." Jalissa said, summoning a vine which sprouted a big pumpkin. "Perfect! Arigato, Jalissa-chan!" Shintomaru said. "No!" Fright Knight said, charging, only for Takeru to block him. "You'll have to go through me, first!" Takeru said, pulling out the Mugen Eyecon. After pressing the button, he switched out the Einstein Eyecon and put the Mugen Eyecon into the driver, causing it to summon the Mugen Parka Ghost.
Mugen shinka! Eye! Batchiriminā...Batchiriminā! Batchiriminā...Batchiriminā!
"Henshin!" Takeru shouted as he then pulled the lever of his driver, allowing the Mugen Parka Ghost to merge with him, becoming Kamen Rider Ghost Mugen Damashi!
Chokaigan! Mugen! (Angelic rock music) Keep on going! Go, Go, Go! Go, Go, Go! Go, Go, Go! Gotta Ghost!
After the transformation was completed, everyone who hasn't seen it before was stunned as ethereal angelic white feathers fluttered out from Takeru's body. "You take care of the sword thing, I'll make sure he doesn't interfere!" Takeru said. "Understood, Takeru!" Shintomaru said. Takeru began fighting Fright Knight while Shintomaru began chanting. "To cease the storm, to end the fear, the sword must sheathe in pumpkin near!" Shintomaru chanted, thrusting the blade into the pumpkin. That caused a blast of green energy to come forth from the pumpkin and send Shintomaru back a bit from the recoil. "I'm okay!" He said. When Fright Knight saw the pumpkin, which now has the Soul Shredder imbedded onto its top and glowing green, he was horrified. "Oh no." He said. Then, a green energy vortex appeared above the sword-pierced pumpkin and started sucking both Fright Knight and Nightmare into it at once. "No, not again!" Fright Knight said, struggling to get out of the suction. "Master, help me!" He begged Pariah Dark.
"A ghost with such a weakness as yours doesn't belong in my court. I clearly made a mistake letting you in. In fact." Pariah said, picking up Vortex and Nocturne. "Why don't you take these two with you?" He said, tossing the two onto Fright Knight as the three got sucked in. "NOOOOOOOO!" Fright Knight, Vortex, and Nocturn all yelled in horror as they and Nightmare were all completely sucked right into the energy vortex before it completely closed, much to everyone's shock and appall. "Dude, what is wrong with you?!" Lincoln asked. "If it's one thing that only I care about, it's myself, and no one else! Any ghost that I subjugate into my rule are only allowed to exist as either my slaves, which are expendable, or as part of my army, which would only happen if I deem them as useful for my conquest, and if their usefulness has run out, then I would immediately have them disposed like trash!" Pariah Dark said in a serious tone, much to everyone's anger. "Well now you're all alone against us!" Lincoln said as Danny flew down next to him, ready to battle the ghostly monarch.
However, Pariah Dark laughed menacingly at that. "Oh, I am afraid that's not the case, because I have one more pawn that I have forcibly subjugated into my army!" Pariah Dark declared, much to everyone's confusion. "Aragon, come to me!" He ordered as he snapped his fingers, causing a huge black European Dragon with red eyes, green horns, claws, tail spikes and forked tongue, and a purple underbelly, wing membranes, and flaming spine to appear from the air and roar at the heroes and ghosts ferociously. "Oh No! Not my brother!" Dorathea said in shock. "Brother?" The heroes, minus Danny and his family, asked in confusion. "Yeah, long story short, Aragon and Dorathea here are actually human ghosts from the medieval era that have these mystical amulets around their necks that allow them to transform into dragon when angered or under stress, though Dorathea now has the ability to control her dragon form without getting angry! Aragon is Dorathea's evil tyrannical brother who made it so that time in their castle home remains stuck in the medieval era forever! It wasn't until my friends and I, along with Dorathea, were able to defeat Aragon and remove him from power, allowing Dorathea to take the throne and allow time in her home to move forwards again! The last time we saw him was during that Disasteroid incident, long story on that!" Danny explained. "And if Pariah Dark has him under his control, oh no." Danny said in worry.
"Oh, yes! He wanted revenge on his sister and you, Danny Phantom, just to get his kingdom back, but I made it clear to him that there can be only be room for one king! All I had to do was to put him under a mind control spell while keeping him in his Dragon form and I made him my new pet!" Pariah Dark said with a wicked grin as the black dragon, now identified as Aragon, roared ferociously. "That explains everything! I can see it in Aragon's aura that he's under a spell that's constantly tormenting him from within, making him aware of what he's seeing and doing, but unable to control his body and mind!" Aya said upon reading Aragon's aura. "Since he's a ghost, aka a spirit, do you think that Spirit Freedom technique you used on those under Dormarchus' control could work here?" Sakura asked.
"I think I can, though I might need a clear shot at the amulet around his neck, since that's where Pariah Dark placed that spell on her!" Aya said while pointing at the green reptilian eye-shaped amulet around Aragon's neck. "Too bad I'm not giving you that chance! Aragon, Attack!" Pariah Dark ordered as Aragon breathed fire at the heroes and ghosts. "We have to get Aya a clear shot!" Lincoln said. "You think that jet of yours could give her enough of a distraction?" Danny suggested. "Yeah, it's actually called a Vector! Also, I don't think it has an autopilot feature, so I'm not sure!" Lincoln said. "Clyde-kun and I will take care of the distraction in our Vectors, you just focus on taking care of Pariah Dark!" Sakura said as she and Clyde rushed over to Vector Jewel and Anansi. "Right! Thanks, Sakura!" Lincoln said as Sakura and Clyde rushed over to their Vectors. "I'll help with that plan too! I fought against my brother before and I can do it again!" Dorathea said. "I'll add some cover fire with my equipment!" Valerie said.
"Hey, what are you doing in here?!" Sakura asked from within the cockpit of Vector Jewel before Technus was forcibly ejected from it. "Oh come on! I want to know what those jets are made of, that's all!" Technus complained. "Hey, Technus is a bit of a Tech Junkie, so you may want to check your computers, just to make sure he didn't mess anything up in there!" Danny said. "Spoil sport!" Technus complained. "Nani?!" Sakura asked in shock as she quickly checked her computers. "I'm not seeing anything." Sakura said as Aya looked at Technus' aura. "You should consider yourself lucky, it seems he was about to do something before you kicked him out." She said. That made Technus grumble in complaint. That also made Sakura rather angry. "Deal with it later!" Aurachnid said. "Right! Of course!" Sakura said as Vector Jewel and Vector Anansi took off while Valerie rode on her hoverboard with her weapons ready and Dorathea spreading out her wings in preparation to battle against her mind-controlled brother.
"While they're taking care of that, it's you and us, Pariah Dark!" Danny said. "I'd like to see either of you try!" Pariah Dark said arrogantly. Then, Lincoln and Danny charged towards Pariah Dark together with a battle cry before attacking him, with Lincoln using his sword and Danny using his Ghost Rays, only for Parish Dark himself easily breaking Lincoln's sword and swatting him away with his mace while also easily withstanding Danny's attacks before blasting him with a beam attack from the Ring of Rage. "Fools! As long as I have the Ring of Rage and the Crown of Fire in my possession, I am all powerful and unstoppable! Or have you forgotten that, Phantom?" Pariah Dark said. "*Groan!* For the record, I didn't forget that! Plus, I was wearing the Ecto-Skeleton mech suit the last time I've fought you! It nearly drained me of all of my Ghost powers by the time you were put back in the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep and I fainted from exhaustion!" Danny complained while he and Lincoln were getting up slowly. "Then, why won't you two realize that facing me is pointless?" Pariah Dark asked. "Because heroes do not give up, even when facing up against overwhelming odds!" Lincoln said defiantly. "Especially when they have a home and loved ones to protect!" Danny added. "So, we're not letting you win, no matter what!" They both declared at once. Suddenly, Lincoln's driver began glowing. "Dude, what's going on with your belt?" Danny asked as the part of it that opens up to summon the screen opened up, sucking Danny in. "HOLY TOLEDO!" Danny exclaimed in shock as Lincoln's driver fully sucked him in before it then automatically activated its touchscreen and typed down a new code.
4-3-0-4, Phantom!
That's when the same white ring that usually appears around Danny Phantom suddenly appeared around Lincoln at the waist before splitting into two rings, the top one going up and bottom one going down, as they suddenly changed his rider suit's colors into same patterns as Danny Phantom's bodysuit, primarily black with white boots, collar, belt line, shin armor, wrist armor, and gloves, while having Danny Phantom's signature 'D' logo appear on his chest armor alongside his 'LL' logo. Not only that, but London's helmet turned mostly black with a white mouthpiece and glowing green eyes while also gaining a white metallic version of Danny Phantom's hairstyle on top of the helmet and a jetpack, resembling the X-23 Booster Rocket from Axion Labs, on the back. Finally, the new form announced "Kamen Rider LL, Phantom Mode!" in both Lincoln and Danny's voices at once, much to everyone's shock. "Okay, that's new (And A One Time Thing, NOT Lincoln's Final Form, It Was Hallucigenia77's Idea)." Sakura said.
Meanwhile, inside of Lincoln's mind, he was seen in an empty space with Danny Phantom standing alongside him. "Okay, this is crazy." Lincoln said. "Tell me about it! I've Overshadowed people before, usually my parents or my rival Dash Baxter, but this is kind of different!" Danny said. "Overshadowed?" Lincoln asked in confusion. "It's basically another term for ghostly possession, if you want to get technical about it!" Danny explained. "Well, you know what they say, don't look a gift horse in the mouth!" Lincoln said. "Actually, I don't know what that means! The only historical quote I know of is 'the only thing we have to fear is fear itself'!" Danny said. "Doesn't matter!" Lincoln said as LL Phantom mode struck a pose and charged at Pariah Dark, slamming a fist into his face. While the attack sent him back a little bit, Pariah Dark didn't feel any damage.
"You're going to have to try harder than that!" Pariah Dark said. "Bring it!" Lincoln and Danny said. As this was going on, the others were still distracting Aragon while Aya was finding a clear shot. "Let's see how he handles my Ghost Stinger!" Valerie said as she fired an electric shock from the front of her hoverboard straight at Aragon, causing the black dragon to roar in pain. "Try not to hurt him too badly, he's still my brother!" Dorothea said. "But, didn't you have him banished from your castle after you and Danny defeated him before, since he was, you know, tyrannical and abusive to you?" Valerie asked. "That doesn't mean I don't still care about him." Dorothea pointed out. "She has a point." Sakura said. "Fine." Valerie said in annoyance as Aya watched, waiting for her time to strike. Then, as Dorathea went and grabbed Aragon from behind, holding him still, Aya saw the Amulet around Aragon's neck and took her chance.
"Spirit Freedom!" Aya called, firing an energy beam at the amulet. That caused the mind-control spell that Pariah Dark put on it instantly dissipate, allowing Aragon to calm down and transform back into his human-like form instantly. "Yatta!" Sakura said in delight. "*Groan!* Oh, my aching head!" Aragon said in minor pain. "Aragon! You're alright!" Dorathea said as she changed into her human-like form and helped her brother back on her feet. "He's not going to turn on us, is he?" Valerie asked with suspicion. "No, I am not!" Aragon said, much to everyone's surprise. "Really?" Dorathea asked in surprise. "Yes! It's because, after being tormented from the inside out by that spell that Pariah Dark had put on me, just to make me his overpowered slave, I now know the true meaning of oppression and, thus, I have now lost my taste for it and I no longer wish to inflict it upon anyone ever again!" Aragon said, much to everyone's surprise. "His aura checks out, which means he's telling the truth!" Aya informed, much to everyone's relief. "Thank goodness!" Dorathea said. It didn't take LL Phantom Mode and Pariah Dark to notice this turn of events. "Looks like you're all alone now, Pariah!" Lincoln and Danny said. "Doesn't matter! As long as I have my crown and ring, I am invincible!" Pariah Dark declared. "Dang It! He's right! No matter what we hit him with, we can't damage him!" Lincoln complained. "We just need to get them off of him!" Danny said. "Right! How did you do that last time again?" Lincoln asked.
"Well, when I used the Ecto-Skeleton, a mech suit that's powered by the pilot's life force, to increase my powers 100-fold, though it also slowly drained my life force in the process, and then create duplicates of myself, I was able to hold him still long enough for me to knock the crown off of his head, though I didn't bother to get the ring off of him since he actually needs to wear both artifacts in order to become invincible, before I managed to use my remaining strength to force him into the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep and lock him in there tight with the Skeleton Key before I passed out from having my life energy drained!" Danny explained. "Okay, so we just need to get that thing off his head!" Lincoln said, summoning the screen. "Here's hoping this will work." Lincoln said.
*-#, Final Attack!
That's when LL Phantom Mode jumped up into the air and had his feet covered in glowing green ectoplasmic energy, right he then made seven copies of himself that also had ectoplasmic energy covering their feet as they all charged towards Pariah Dark. "You don't scare me!" Pariah Dark said, trying to stop the attack. However, the eight LL Phantom Modes all managed to dodge the mace that was thrown at them and even caught it before throwing it back at the Ghost King, causing him to get temporarily stunned. Before falling backwards, causing his crown to fall off his head. Then, Lincoln and Danny announced "Rider Phantom Barrage!" as the eight LL Phantom Modes when and struck Pariah Dark repeatedly with multiple ectoplasmic energy-powered kicks before jumping up into the air and merging back into one entity and charging down with his right foot, which became, covered in ghostly flames, forwards as he then dealt a powerful finishing blow on Pariah Dark's chest. That caused an explosion that sent the Ghost King flying a bit while LL Phantom Mode landed safely on the ground and split back into Lincoln and Danny.
"That was a rush!" Danny said as Pariah stood back up before realizing the crown was no longer on his head. "My crown!" He said in worry, looking around to see that his crown was on the ground, trying to reach for it, only for one of Vector Anansi's missiles to hit and obliterate it. "NO!" Pariah Dark said in anger. "Nice try, but no enchilada!" Clyde said. "Now just be a good dethroned monarch, and go back into your box!" Lincoln said, pointing to the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep. "Never!" Pariah Dark angrily declared as he shot out a blast of energy from the Ring of Rage at the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep, causing it to be blown to smithereens. "Oh, that's not good." Danny said as Pariah Dark saw Aragon's amulet and got an idea. "This is about to be worse for you!" He said, dashing over to Aragon and taking his amulet. "Hey! That Amulet doesn't belong to you! Give it back!" Aragon angrily demanded. "I don't think so!" Pariah Dark said, putting the amulet on.
As soon as he did, the Amulet started glowing as Pariah Dark laughed maniacally before he then grew in size and morphed into a gigantic muscular black dragon with a green underbelly, huge bat-like wings, long sharp silvery claws on his hands and feet, with the Ring of Rage still on third finger of his right hand, a large green buzzsaw-shapes spine on his back, a long tail ending in a spiked spherical club that's shaped like his mace with a long sword blade at the tip, and a long neck with a head that's shaped like that of Aragon's dragon form, but with Pariah Dark's signature horns, green eyes, eyepatch, and facial scar as well as having long sharp green spikes his head and a single spike on his chin, right where his green hair and braided beard should be respectfully. "Oh crud." Lincoln said. "Lincoln-kun! We need Aquarion for this!" Sakura called. "Aquarion?" Danny asked in confusion.
"Long story! I'm on my way! Someone get Emizel on the phone, without that sarcophagus, we need another method to get rid of this guy!" Lincoln said. "I'll call him!" Clockwork said, much to everyone's surprise. "Wait, you know Emizel?" Ronnie Anne asked. "Of course! I've met him before in the Afterlife Nexus, via hologram, when he first visited, since I'm actually one of the key members of the Afterlife Council, the leading group of that very dimension!" Clockwork answered, much to everyone's surprise. "I'm actually quite surprised you know him." Clockwork said. "We've met him and had him help us during an incident involving our enemies, the Pecadiablos, summoning a dream-manipulating serial killer named Freddy Krueger, who we all thought to be a purely fictional movie villain, from another universe!" Ronnie Anne explained.
"Interesting." Clockwork noted. "Wait a minute! Who exactly is Emizel?" Danny asked in confusion. "A junior Grim Reaper." Sid explained. "GRIM REAPER?!" Danny and the other ghosts, minus Clockwork, asked in fright. "Yeah, that's not exactly a popular combination of words in the Ghost Zone." Clockwork admitted. "Can you blame us? Those entities are known for taking ghosts like us from the material plane against our wills to the afterlife, where we would be judged for our actions in life, with some ghosts being considered lucky enough to go to Heaven while others are often sent to the opposite place, which shall not be named, to be forever tormented! The Ghost Zone is considered a safe haven for us ghosts so that we don't get caught by those entities and get judged in the afterlife!" Skulker said. "Of course, the Ghost Zone does have some form of law and judgement in the Ghost Zone, though compared to the Afterlife, it's more about imprisonment than eternal torment, with only beings that carry out law and order are either the Observants, who watch over both the Ghost Zone and the human world, and Walker, though he, his second-in-command Bullet, and his police force tend to go way overboard with his strict rules and regulations to the point of arresting any ghost in his prison just for even a very minor offense, like bringing a harmless object from the human world into the Ghost Zone!" Desiree said as she pointed at Walker, much to the latter's offense. "Hey! The reason I made bringing contraband items from the human world to be against the rules is because I wanted to discourage littering and remind ghosts that they don't belong in the human world, okay?" Walker said in annoyance. "Plus, I really want to keep law and order in the Ghost Zone as much as it should be!" He added. However, when Aya read Walker's aura, she was utterly repulsed at what she saw. "Okay, Mister Walker, there's something obviously very wrong with your idea of law and order in the Ghost Zone! For one thing, while maintaining law and order for the sake of peace and protecting the innocent is good, doing so for only your own personal benefits, even to the point of making up your own rules as you go along and harshly punishing people for offenses that are considered not very serious, is definitely bad! In fact, that kind of thing is considered an act of political corruption and police brutality, both of which are considered serious crimes in themselves! And don't get me started with the fact that you and your goons went and possessed people to make everyone in Amity Park turn against Danny as an act of revenge against him after he started a riot and escaped from your prison when you practically unlawfully locked him up there for bringing an item from the human world, which was actually his father's anniversary present meant for his mother, even though it was actually brought to the Ghost Zone by accident!" Aya said angrily at Walker, much to everyone's shock, especially Danny's parents.
"Okay, no offense, little girl, but you're seriously freaking me out." Walker admitted. "Yeah, that would be my aura-reading ability! It's useful in finding out an individual's history and deep dark secrets that they don't want anyone else to know about!" Aya said. "And compared to my ability to transform into a Werehyena, it's the least freaky thing I can do!" She said with a chuckle, demonstrating said ability. That, surprisingly, caused Walker to get scared as he shrieked in fright. Making Aya chuckle as she shifted back. "Make sure when you call him that he understands he's here for one soul and one soul only." Lincoln told Clockwork, pointing to Pariah Dark. "Understood!" Clockwork said as he pulled out a cellphone from his cloak and dialed in a number. "Alright, let's do this!" Lincoln said, hopping into his Vector and flying off, Vectors Jewel and Anansi flying in formation behind him. "Nenshin!" Clyde and Aurachnid called. "Gattai!" Sakura called. "Go, Aquarion!" Lincoln called.
(Cue "Kimi no Shinwa ~ Aquarion no Dai Ni Shou" by AKINO with bless4)
Afterwards, the Vectors started to transform, starting with Vector LL, in which its front part split open in halves while wings went and folded upwards to allow the split halves to connect underneath them, and then its tail fin split open and went towards the back. For Vector Jewel, its part containing the cockpit tilted back as its two front hull sections opened and straightened outwards on its sides. And for Vector Anansi, its front spider leg-like parts split away from each other, moved downwards, and extended to form legs while the spider leg-like structures on its sides twisted and folded down to form side armor as its spider abdomen-like rear turned around and then folded over, while the entire Vector turned backwards. Finally, the Vectors started to combine, starting with Vector Anansi in which, in a backwards position, combined underneath Vector LL and unfolded the ends of its legs to form feet. Meanwhile, Vector Jewel connected to the back of Vector LL to form the jet pack and wings. After that, the two halves of Vector LL's front end opened up their panels to form shoulder blades while also revealing arms underneath. Then, the ends twisted and folded over to allow robotic human-like hands to pop out and open their fingers. Finally, the part containing the cockpit on Vector LL folded down to form the chest while the top part popped upwards to reveal the head, which resembles Aquarion EVOL but with a crest that immediately unfolded into a V shape. After that, the robot turned on its eye lights, closed its hands into fists, and did few a punching moves. And then Lincoln shouted "AQUARION! LL!" while Aquarion LL did a heroic stance similar to Aquarion EVOL while unfolding its wings to reveal metallic bird-like feathers coming out of them like a war fan.
"We'd better help them as well." Ronnie Anne said. "Alebrije Henkei!" The first 11 Lucharangers called. "Cho Alebrije Gattai!" The first eight Lucharangers called. "Alebrije Gattai!" Becky, Ricky, and Dodge called, quickly forming their mechs. "LuchaChampion/LuchaWild, awaken!" They called. Everyone was surprised to see three Mechas, to say the least. "What in blue blazes?!" Technus asked in total shock. "Truly amazing pieces of technical marvel, aren't they?" Lisa asked, walking up. "And who are you, exactly?" Technus asked in confusion. "Lisa Loud, 5 year old genius, and younger sister of Kamen Rider LL." Lisa said. "Genius? You? That's a laugh!" Technus said before laughing a little. Lisa got annoyed at this. "I'll have you know that I am literally born with an IQ of 180 and I already have a PhD and won the Nobel Prize!" Lisa retorted. "And while I cannot claim to be the inventor of the mechas my brother, his girlfriend, and their friends use, I have invented several auxiliaries for them to use, one of which inspiration has struck me to create for this particular battle!" Lisa said, holding up a set of blueprints she had brought.
The blueprints in question showed schematics of a vehicle resembling the Copperhead VTOL Tactical Transport Assault Craft from "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within". "You designed this?" Maddie asked, looking at the blueprints. "Indeed, I have! Whenever I make a new Auxiliary Vector for Aquarion, I often use fictional aircraft and spaceships as inspirations for their overall appearances! For example, this one in the blueprints is based on the Copperhead VTOL Tactical Transport Assault Craft from the old computer-generated film "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within"!" Lisa explained. "That's actually quite impressive." Maddie said. "Tell me something I don't know!" Lisa said proudly. "All I need to do is build it, that's what he's here for." Lisa said, pointing to Mecha Pollon who barked in greeting before hooking her computer up to the dog. "Ahem! Is there any chance that I, Nicolai Technus, Ghost Master of Technology, would participate in building that vehicle?" Technus asked.
"As long as you don't try anything malicious, I suppose so." Lisa said. "Great!" Technus said. "I think my wife and I will help too! Our ghost-catching technology could be of use!" Jack said. "Very well, then." Lisa said, typing away at her computer.
Meanwhile...
"Skyring, descend!" Ronnie Anne said, summoning the Skyring. "What is that thing?!" Danny asked in confusion. "The Skyring. Created by our ally AkaRed to get rid of the risk of collateral damage." Lisa explained. "Plus, it goes well with our teams' Luchador motif!" Aya said. "Luchador? You mean those masked wrestlers from Mexico?" Danny asked. "That's them!" Aya said. "F"Follow us if you dare!" Ronnie Anne said as the three Mechas flew up to the Sky Ring. "Very well! I'll accept your challenge! But first, to get rid of this pest!" Pariah Dark, now a Kaiju-sized dragon version of himself, said as he then spotted Skulker shooting at his feet with his wrist blasters, only for the dragon's scaly skin to be too tough to damage, right before before the Ghost King slammed his mace-shaped tail club right down on Ghost Hunter. That caused Skulker's suit to be flattened and damaged beyond repair as the tiny blob that is Skulker's true form crawled out of it. "OH COME ON! NOT AGAIN!" Skulker angrily complained in a higher-pitched voice. "The one guy that I had dated in the Ghost Zone is actually a tiny blob in a robot suit?!" Ember asked in shock, right before she laughed hysterically at Skulker's misery. "DON'T LOOK AT ME!" Skulker begged, running away to hide. "Wait a minute! You're Skulker's Girlfriend?!" Danny asked in shock.
"Yeah, so?" Ember asked. "No offense, but when Skulker was hunting me down during a fishing trip with my dad, he was doing it just to prove to his girlfriend that he's not a lousy hunter, though I didn't really believe he actually had a girlfriend! Plus, I never expected you of all ghosts to be his girlfriend, since he never really mentioned you by name at the time, not to mention the fact you're clearly a teenager while Skulker, at least when he's wearing his battlesuit, looks like an adult, which not only comes off as creepy, but also rather strange since I thought you hated adults!" Danny said. "Well it's not like your choice in romantic partners is any better! Aren't you dating that goth chick?" Ember asked, referring to (Danny Phantom) Sam. "Her name is Sam, and, Yes, I am dating her! But she's actually better than my previous crushes, since she actually likes me as both Danny Fenton and Danny Phantom!" Danny replied. "Aw!" Aya said. "Reminds me of my boyfriend Denkyem!" She said. "And just a few finishing touches." Lisa said, typing away on her computer.
"And there!" She added as she pressed one last button. This allowed a miniaturized version of the Vector detailed in Lisa's blueprints, which happens to be colored in the same black-and-white patterns as Danny Phantom as well as having a pair of high-tech machine gun-like blasters at the front of the cockpit area and four cylindrical structures on its sides that end in high-tech cannon barrels, with two of them attached above the wings and the other two attached below the wings, as well as Danny Phantom's 'D' symbol set immediately behind the cockpit area, to come out of Mecha Pollon's mouth. "Good boy." Lisa said, taking the Vector and giving the robot a metal treat. "That's it? A toy?" Technus asked in confusion. "A miniaturized Vector. I have developed a software that allows the Vectors, as well as the LuchaKarts and Rider Machines used by the Kamen Riders and Lucharangers to be able to go from handheld devices that can be easily carried in pockets to that." Lisa said, gesturing to Aquarion before walking up to Danny. "Daniel, correct?" Lisa asked. "Yes, but my friends call me Danny!" Danny replied. "Excellent, based on what your clone/cousin told me, I believe you're the best choice to pilot this new Vector I just created." Lisa said, placing the Vector in Danny's hand. "I call it, Vector Phantom." She explained.
"Wow! Really?!" Danny asked in surprise. "To utilize it, simply call 'Vector Launch', allowing it to resume it's normal size, then if you press a button in the cockpit labeled 'Gattai' you will be able to combine with Aquarion. Fair warning though, those that are in a Vector at the time of combination experience a very intense feeling." Lisa explained. "Also, just in case, there are extra seats in Vector Phantom, so you can allow other people to ride along with you, such as your girlfriend!" She added. "How many?" Danny asked. "I'd say, in addition to your own seat, a total of eight!" Lisa answered. "Excellent." Danny said. "Vector Launch!" Danny said, releasing Vector Phantom, allowing it to grow before beaming Danny onboard, taking the center seat. "Let's see, eight, Sam and Tucker are obvious choices." Danny said, flying to where his girlfriend and best friend are, beaming them onboard. "Whoa! Sweet ride!" Tucker said in excitement.
"We still need five others." Danny noted. "How about me and Valerie?" Dani asked. "Eh, why not?" Danny said, beaming the two onboard. "Okay, this is impressive!" Valerie said. "Lisa really knows her stuff." Dani said. "Now's I just need three more!" Danny said. "Ooh, Ooh! How about you bring me, your mother, and Jazz onboard?" Jack asked in excitement. Danny sighed. "Fine, I was considering Jazz anyway, and I needed two others." Danny said, beaming his parents and sister onboard. "Say, this seat doesn't make me look fat, does it?" Jack asked as seat was feeling a bit small for his overweight bodyframe. "No not at all." Maddie said as Vector Phantom flew up to where the others were battling.
Meanwhile...
In the Sky Ring, Aquarion LL, LuchaChampion, and LuchaWild were all having trouble against Pariah Dark in his new dragon form as he was able to knock their weapons from their hands and severely damage the Mechas with his fire breath, mace tail club, sharp claws and teeth, and energy blasts from his Ring of Rage. "Okay, this guy is really starting to get on my nerves!" Becky complained. "Tell me about it! This guy's scaly skin is so thick that we can't even damage him!" Lincoln complained. "And even worse, unlike the Dragon Dopant we had fought a while ago, this guy has no obvious physical weak point anywhere!" Ronnie Anne complained. "Try removing the amulet! If you do so, it may strip him of it's power!" Dorothea called. "I don't think so!" Pariah Dark declared as he then swung his mace-shaped tail club at the three Mechas and struck them all one-by-one at their crotches, causing LuchaChampion and LuchaWild to become temporarily paralyzed in pain while Aquarion LL was momentarily stunned from that attack.
"Dang it." The males all called. From the ground, all the male ghosts, except for Clockwork due to his lower body being just a ghostly tail, shuddered at that while covering their crotches. "Just give up now! You may have taken my crown, but I will take over all worlds!" Pariah Dark declared. "Yeah, a few big problems with that, big guy! One, even if you manage to get to our world, if our own enemies, the Animarius Empire or the Pecadiablos, figure out that you're going to conquer our world, then they won't hesitate to eliminate you, since they're already in competition against each other for world domination and they don't like the idea of another competitor for our world!" Clyde retorted. "As I believe the saying goes, I'll cross that bridge when I get to it!" Pariah Dark said. "You won't be crossing anything!" Danny said, firing missiles from Vector Phantom.
That caused Pariah Dark to stagger back a bit in confusion. "Now what?!" Pariah Dark asked in annoyance. "Yeah, hit him again!" Jack said as Vector Phantom flew above the Skyring. "You kids okay?" Maddie asked. "Yeah, we're fine!" Sakura said. "Our Mecha just got temporarily stunned from that attack, that's all!" Clyde said. "But we're alright now. Take this chance and push that button you see in your cockpit." Lincoln said as everyone in Vector Phantom looked around before Danny saw a button marked 'Gattai' as Lisa said earlier. "Push that and you will be able to combine with Aquarion." Clyde said. "And if you feel this strange intense feeling, that's normal." Aurachnid said. "Just one question, what exactly does 'Gattai' mean?" Danny asked in confusion. "It's a Japanese word, meaning "Combination" or "Fusion", depending on the context!" Sakura answered. "Good enough for me." Jack said, pushing the button for Danny. "Dad! I was supposed to press the button!" Danny complained. "Whoops! Sorry, Dan! I gotten a little ahead of myself there!" Jack apologized sheepishly. Suddenly, Vector Phantom started shaking. "Obake Gattai!" Sakura called. "Obake? Is that another Japanese word?" Danny asked in confusion. "Yes! It is a Japanese word for "Ghost"!" Sakura answered. "Makes sense, I guess!" Danny noted. He then held on to his controls. "Obake Gattai! Go, Aquarion!" Danny called out as Vector Phantom shot up into the air while a ghostly green tractor beam emerged from beneath the vehicle and pulled Aquarion LL up into the air with it.
(Cue the "Danny Phantom" theme song (extended version combining the current version with the unused version and the ending music))
As that happened, the four white cylindrical structures on Vector Phantom's sides detached themselves from the wings and surrounded Aquarion LL, with the upper structures in front of the Mecha's arms and the lower structures underneath the legs, while the wings, with the high-tech nacelles (jet engines) still attached to them, detached themselves next and hovered above the shoulders while the rest of the Vector itself hovered about Aquarion LL's head. Then, as a ring of energy surrounded Aquarion LL and the pieces of Vector Phantom, Dany and his friends and family started feeling spiritual energy flow through their bodies. "HOLY TOLEDO! WHAT'S IS THIS ALL THIS?!" Jack asked in confusion as he was feeling the energy. "I DON'T KNOW JACKIE BY! BUT, FOR SOME REASON, IT FEELS REALLY GOOD!" Maddie said in bliss from the energy. "SAME GOES WITH ME! I HAVEN'T EVER FELT LIKE THIS BEFORE!" Jazz said in bliss from the energy. "MAN, THIS WEIRD ENERGY IS NOTHING LIKE I'VE EVER SEEN OR FELT BEFORE, YET IT GIVES ME A GOOD FEELING INSIDE!" Valerie said in bliss from feeling the energy. "I'LL SAY! THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOTHING LIKE GHOST ENERGY OR ECTOPLASM, THAT'S FOR SURE!" Tucker said while feeling the energy. "JUST WHAT IS THIS ENERGY AND WHY DOES IT MAKE ME FEEL LIKE I'M FLOATING ON A CLOUD OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT?!" Sam asked in confusion while feeling blissful from the energy. "I'M NOT SURE, BUT WHATEVER IT IS, NOT ONLY DOES IT FEEL GOOD, BUT I'M FEELING POWERED UP FOR SOME REASON!" Dani said while feeling blissful from the energy. "YEAH, NOW THAT YOU HAVE MENTIONED IT, THIS FEELS LIKE WHEN I ONCE PILOTED THE ECTO-SKELETON, BUT WITHOUT THE LIFE FORCE DRAINAGE!" Danny noted while feeling the energy. "DON'T WORRY, GUYS! THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN OUR VECTORS COMBINE INTO AQUARION!" Clyde explained while feeling the energy. "YEAH! IT'S REALLY SIMPLE! JUST GO WITH THE FLOW!" Aurachnid stated while feeling the energy. "THIS WHENEVER OUR VECTORS MERGE TOGETHER, SO DO OUR MINDS, BODIES, AND SOULS, WHICH MAKES IT EFFICIENT WHEN PILOTING AQUARION TOGETHER!" Lincoln explained while feeling the energy. "NOT JUST THAT, BUT OUR INDIVIDUAL POWERS ARE AMPLIFIED BY AQUARION WHILE OUR EMOTIONS ARE SHARED WITH EACH OTHER, MAKING US WORK EVEN BETTER AS A TEAM TOGETHER! PLUS, IT REALLY FEELS GOOD!" Sakura shouted while feeling the energy in pure bliss. "IN OTHER WORDS, THIS IS SPIRITUAL ENERGY THAT GIVES OUR POWERS A BOOST!" Lincoln explained. "THAT EXPLAINS A LOT THINGS, ESPECIALLY WHY I'M FEELING THAT MY GHOST POWERS ARE GETTING STRONGER THAN USUAL!" Danny noted. "SAME WITH MINE!" Dani noted. "BUT, ANYWAY, LET'S GO GHOST!" Danny and Dani announced. "YEAH!" Sam, Tucker, Valerie, Jazz, Jack, and Maddie said at once as the pieces started to come together. First, the wings of Vector Phantom connected right on top of Aquarion LL's shoulder armor before the high tech nacelles rotated to the horizontal position. Next, Aquarion LL's hands retracted back into its lower arms before the armor above them folded in front of them, right before the upper cylindrical structures of Vector Phantom flipped their high-tech cannons upwards over themselves and then sliding in and attaching themselves into the arms, allowing a pair of robotic metal hands, resembling the Fenton Ghost Gloves, to pop out from the back end of the structures. Then, Aquarion LL's feet folded downwards, right before the lower cylindrical structures of Vector Phantom flipped their own high-tech cannons upwards over themselves and then sliding in and attaching themselves into the legs, with the already folded in cannons facing forwards, allowing a pair of semi-conical structures to pop out and unfold to form the feet, shaped like the feet of the Ecto-Skeleton. Finally, Aquarion LL's crest folded in before the entire head immediately retracted itself back into its body, allowing the main body of Vector Phantom to attach itself on top of the head area, right before the cockpit area and the section set immediately behind it descended downwards onto the Mecha's chest, becoming the new chest armor with Danny Phantom's 'D' symbol in the center, while the tail and rear end of Vector Phantom folded downwards onto Aquarion LL's back, right on top of Vector Jewel's body, and the middle section of Vector Phantom opened up panels from the back and sides to reveal a robotic head resembling a Mecha version of Danny Phantom's head, complete with a snow-white metallic helmet shaped like his signature hairstyle and glowing green eyes that flashed upon the head's reveal. Afterwards, while the newly formed Mecha did the same poses that Danny did when he first piloted the Ecto-Skeleton, Danny and his friends and family all shouted "AQUARION! PHANTOM!", right before the Mecha, now named Aquarion Phantom, finished in a heroic stance. Needless to say, everyone was surprised by the sight of the new Aquarion formation.
"Phew, that was an interesting feeling." Jazz said. "You guys seriously go through that every time?" Tucker asked. "You get used to it." Lincoln said. "Question, this Mecha doesn't drain our life force like the Ecto-Skeleton did to me and Dad when piloting it, right?" Danny's asked out of curiosity and concern. "Thankfully, no, it does not!" Lisa informed through the comm link. "Good, now let's bring the pain onto this guy!" Jack said as Aquarion Phantom struck a fighting pose. "It doesn't matter how many machines you use, cause I will conquer this world and then move on to other worlds, and there's nothing that you can do to stop me!" Pariah Dark declared. "We'll see about that!" Danny said as Aquarion Phantom fired his and Dani's signature Ecto Blasts from it's hands. Surprisingly, that caused Pariah Dark to stagger back a bit in slight pain. "Using information courtesy of your parents and Technus, I designed Aquarion Phantom with the ability to replicate and amplify all of your powers." Lisa explained over the comm link.
"Sweet! You must be a real genius!" Danny said. "Oh, you have no idea. Out of the 11 of us that is myself and my 10 sisters, Lisa is smarter than all of us combined!" Lincoln said. "So, true, Brother Unit! So, true!" Lisa said proudly. "10 Sisters?!" Danny and his friends and family, asked in shock and confusion. "5 Oneechans, or older sisters, 5 Imotos, or younger sisters, and no brothers." Sakura said. "And each one of them have different personalities and quirks that make my life rather miserable, since I'm the literal middle child of my family and only boy!" Lincoln said with a twitch in his eye. "I'd be offended by that comment if the constant struggle of being second youngest didn't irk me slightly as well." Lisa admitted. "Yeesh! I hope Sam and I don't try to have that many kids, should we ever decide to get married in future!" Danny noted, making Sam blush in embarrassment. "You know, it's actually funny you're dating a girl named Sam, so is my sister Luna." Lincoln said.
"Whoa! Wait a second! A girl, dating another girl, in a romantic relationship? Is that even legal?!" Danny asked in confusion. "In our world it is. LuchaBlue and I are in one, and so are LuchaCyan and Orange." Ronnie Anne said. "And it's not just between females! Males can have such romantic relationships with each other too! I should know, because I have two dads, who both adopted me when I was a baby!" Clyde said. "Dang." Jazz said. "So then, shall we get back to fighting or what?" Tucker asked, trying to get everyone back to the task at hand. "Right!" Everyone said, focusing their attention on Pariah Dark. "Very well, then! If you persist on fighting me to the very end, so be it!" Pariah Dark said as he then shot an energy beam from the Ring of Rage at Aquarion Phantom. However, Danny and Dani had the Mecha generate a Ghost Shield around itself that was strong enough to deflect Pariah Dark's attack right back at him, causing the Ghost King to roar in pain. "Yeah, get him!" Takeru cheered as Makoto stumbled back onto the field. "Makoto-niichan! Are you okay?" Takeru asked.
"I was in a literal nightmare! One where I saw Kanon-chan crying as our home city was being destroyed by a horde of monsters! Fortunately, I didn't let the fear get to me and I pushed through it no matter how bleak it seemed!" Makoto answered. "Well we're glad to have you back." Alain told his brother-in-law. "Arigato!" Makoto replied. "So, what's going on here?" He asked upon noticing Aquarion Phantom fighting against Pariah Dark in his dragon form. "Boy, where do we start?" Takeru asked. He then told Makoto about, after Pariah Dark callously allowed Fright Night, Nocturn, and Vortex to get sealed away in a pumpkin after their defeat, how Lincoln and Danny took on a fusion form called LL Phantom Mode, which allowed them to beat up Pariah Dark and destroy the Crown of Fire, only for the Ghost King to steal an Aragon's Amulet and turn himself into a Kaiju-sized dragon. He also told him about how Lisa, with the help of Jack and Maddie Fenton and Technus, created a new Vector called Vector Phantom, who which combined with Aquarion LL to form Aquarion Phantom. Needless to say, Makoto was shocked at that.
"Yeah, pretty crazy." Kanon said. Back with the fight between Aquarion Phantom and Pariah Dark, the latter started breathing fire at the former, only for Danny to counter that by having Aquarion Phantom fire icy blue beams from its eyes right at the Ghost King's flames, causing the flames to dissipate and the Ghost King himself to get frozen solid in a block of ice. "Nice!" Lincoln said. "Thanks! During the time when Undergrowth started attacking Amity Park, I suffered from spells of extreme cold and shivering that rendered me helpless, so I went to the Realm of the Far Frozen, one of many places within the Ghost Zone, to get help from them! There, Frostbite taught me that my freezing problem was due to the fact that my body was generating extreme cold! So, over the next day, he trained me in controlling my natural cold energy and taught me many techniques of ice powers, which wasn't easy, to due to my poor aiming constantly accidentally injuring Frostbite's people while they were watching me training, though I meant no harm! Thankfully, I was able to finally gain control over my powers by the time my training was finished, just in time for me to defeat Undergrowth!" Danny explained. "Handy!" Aurachnid said.
Suddenly, the block of ice started shaking and cracking, right before it shattered as Pariah Dark freed himself from it. "Dang it." The heroes all complained. "You'll have to try harder than that!" Pariah Dark declared, shooting more fire. To counter that, Danny had Aquarion Phantom project fireballs from its hands and throw them at Pariah Dark's flames, canceling the attacks out. "Ah, Death Emizel, good to see you again." Clockwork said. "Likewise!" Emizel said. "And I see you have brought someone with you!" Clockwork said as he had noticed Nagi. "Oh, Yeah, this is Nagi, my new girlfriend!" Emizel said. "Nagi, this is Clockwork, the Ghost of Time, a key member of the Afterlife Council, and a friend I've made during my first visit to the Afterlife Nexus!" He said to Nagi as he introduced Clockwork to her. "Whoa! That's an interesting coincidence, since 'Clockwork', is actually my last name!" Nagi noted.
"That is crazy." Clockwork said. "So, where is this rogue spirit you called us in for?" Emizel asked as Clockwork pointed upwards. "It's the Dragon in that wrestling ring, we just need to capture it and strip of it's powers first, then you'll have free reign." He said. Emizel and Nagi then looked up to notice Aquarion Phantom fighting against Pariah Dark in his dragon form. "Looks like we might be here a bit." Emizel said. "Nagi, Emizel!" Aya said, walking up to them. "Oh! Aya! Good to see you again!" Nagi said. "How are Fuka and Desco doing?" She asked. "Oh, they're doing great. Ronnie Anne tells me they've decided to enroll at the school they all go to and are starting soon, Lisa's already made a device that will keep Desco's non human features disguised so that won't be a problem." Aya said. "Carlota is also trying to give Fuka new clothes for her to wear, since the outfit she usually wears underneath her jacket and Prinny Hat is actually a Japanese Middle School uniform from her old school, since she was in the ninth grade of said school before she died!" She added. "Ninth grade in middle school? Isn't ninth grade supposed to be in high school?" Nagi asked in confusion. "Yeah, apparently, from what Shintomaru told us, the school systems in Japan are a bit different from those of America, especially when it comes to grades!" Aya said.
"Anyway, do either of you have any ideas on how we can defeat Pariah Dark up there? Because from here it looks like even with the new Aquarion formation it will be difficult!" Aya said. "I don't really know, since I've never really been to this version of Earth before!" Nagi said. "Well, during my visit to the Afterlife Nexus, I did remember reading about Pariah Dark at the Afterlife Library, specifically about how he was imprisoned in the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep after a group of Ancient Ghosts took away his Ring of Rage, and how got imprisoned in there again after this superhero called Danny Phantom knocked the Crown of Fire of his head!" Emizel said. "Yeah, Lincoln and Danny did manage to knock the Crown of Fire off of Pariah Dark's head while they're in a fusion form and we even destroyed that artifact too! Unfortunately, not only does Pariah Dark still have the Ring of Rage on him, but he actually managed to destroy the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep, which means that he can't be seal away anymore!" Aya said as she pointed at the pile of rubble that was once the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep.
"Which is pretty much why we called you guys here in the first place, as we need a new way to get rid of him, and sending him to the Afterlife Nexus was the best thing we could come up with." She addedd. "Hmm...I do seem to remember reading about one ghost technique that may be able to help. Do you know anyone who can use something called the Ghostly Wail?" Emizel asked. "I do! Danny Phantom actually gained that ability when he fought against his evil alternate future self Dark Danny! I should know, because I aided Danny during that event, just so that he doesn't become evil!" Clockwork said. "Ghostly Wail, what exactly is it?" Nagi asked in confusion. "From what I read about it, the Ghost Wail is an extremely powerful vocal attack, where the user releases a sonic blast comprised of a highly destructive stream of pure ectoplasmic energy from their vocal cords and mouth, accompanied by a sounds like a legion of tortured souls all moaning and groaning at once or simply a distinct ghostly moaning sound! It is the most powerful and rarest/unique ghost power ever known, since it can cause massive damage to ghosts and humans alike and can destroy solid objects, shattering windows, breaking normal eardrums, or any kind of technology or beings, and send them flying! It is also effective against multiple targets or to defeat a large group/army of enemies all at once! Not only that, but it's so incredibly powerful that it can also negate or nullify a ghost's level of regeneration and incapacitate them or even completely destroy ghosts that are too weak to withstand it! Even a ghost with high durability or invulnerability cannot withstand it!" Emizel explained.
"Combine that with the fact that I designed Aquarion Phantom with the ability to replicate and amplify Danny's powers..." Lisa said upon hearing that. "It could potentially weaken or even severely damage Pariah Dark himself and possibly even destroy his ectoplasmic form!" Aya realized. "At which point, Emizel can capture what's left and drag him to Judge Claudus!" Nagi said. "You know, that might actually work, since no one has ever attempted to use the Ghostly Wail on Pariah Dark before, especially since Danny Phantom didn't gain that ability until sometime after he reimprisoned Pariah Dark!" Clockwork said. "I'll relay the information to them." Lisa said.
Meanwhile...
While the heroes were struggling against Pariah Dark, Lisa's voice came over the intercom. "We believe we have found a solution!" She reported. "And what would that be?" Danny asked in confusion. "Your Ghostly Wail." Lisa started explaining. "From what Clockwork told me, it's the one ability that you've never tried on Pariah Dark when you first confronted him, mostly because you never gained it at the time!" She added. "We have reason to believe it will obliterate Pariah Dark this time, and allow our Grim Reaper ally to capture what's left and bring it to the Afterlife Nexus where he will face trial and most likely be turned into a what can only be described as a Zombie Penguin with stitches on its belly, small bat wings on its back, two peg legs where the legs should be, and a brown fanny pack around it's waist who ends every sentence with the word 'dood'." Lisa said, sending them a picture of the Lucharangers' Prinny friends. "That looks both silly and disturbing at the same time!" Danny said.
"I can imagine. They seriously end every sentence with the word 'Dood'?" Jazz asked. "Every one." Lisa confirmed. Danny and his friends and family shuddered at that. "Which begs the question, why does that rule exist in the first place?" Lisa asked Emizel. "To be honest, I don't really know, mostly because I'm not the one that made that rule to begin with!" Emizel admitted. "Maybe Lord Valvatorez knows. Which reminds me, he's still mad at your Alebrije friends for what they did for Fuka." Nagi noted. "Ooh! Sorry!" Aya apologized while wincing. "But hey, it was Cris who came up with that idea, so if anyone's to blame, it's him." She said, gesturing to Ciannan and Cristeroiceros. "Yeah, I really thought that Fuka deserved a second chance in life, especially with everything that she's been through ever since she had died, so I thought that having my twin sister Electraginconia and her boyfriend Euryzinophis use their combined powers to resurrect Fuka as a living human would be a good idea!" Cristeroiceros admitted. "And they aren't complaining." Ciannan said. "Well Valvatorez definitely is." Emizel said, annoyed.
Meanwhile...
"I had worked so hard to get that girl to realize she was dead." Valvatorez said as an annoyed Prinny that was once Freddy Krueger served him sardines. "And when she finally did, those two just negated all my hard work! Why? I try to be good, I enforce Prinny rules, and I follow my job to the letter, so why did that happen to me?!" He complained. He then started stuffing himself with sardines while upset. While Freddy groaned at having to listen to this rant for the thousandth time! "This is the thousandth time you've been ranting and eating like this, dood! Seriously, if you keep this up, you'd end up getting yourself incredibly fat or worse, dood!" Freddy complained. "Quiet, you!" Valvatorez demanded.
Back with the heroes...
"It's the best we've got so far, so let's do this!" Danny said, inhaling as everyone else in the Vector Phantom cockpit covered their ears just in case. "What now?" Pariah Dark asked in annoyance. Suddenly, Danny released the Ghostly Wail, which was then amplified through Aquarion, hitting Pariah, knocking the amulet off his body, allowing Dorothea to catch it, but it wasn't over yet! As soon as the Amulet was no longer on him, Pariah Dark immediately reverted back to his original humanoid form. Before howling in pain. "What's happening?!" He asked in pain as his physical form started shaking. Then, suddenly, the Ring of Rage literally slipped out of his finger and fell onto the floor. "It's working! Get ready, Emizel!" Aya said. "Okay! I simply just need to get up there first!" Emizel said. "I can help with that! Alebrije Henkei!" Aya said as she transformed into her Vularena mech form.
"Hold on!" Aya said, picking Emizel up in her teeth and flying. As this was going on, Pariah was feeling more pain then he ever thought possible. "It's working!" Sakura said. "What is going on?! What Are You Doing To Me?!" Pariah Dark asked in pain as Aquarion Phantom continued unleashing the Ghostly Wail on him, causing the Ghost King to slowly start liquefying. "This is the end for you, Pariah Dark!" Emizel said as Aya dropped him off in the Skyring. "Just accept your fate, and prepare to be brought to the highest court in the afterlife." He said. "Who are you? What are you?" Pariah Dark asked upon noticing Emizel. "I am Netherworld President Death Emizel, a Grin Reaper!" Emizel said, much to Pariah Dark's confusion. "You? A Grim Reaper? But you're a child, and not even a skeleton at the matter!" Pariah Dark said. "Okay, first of all, I'm older than I look, specifically 1324 years old, since the demons in Netherspace, my home dimension, tend to age a lot slower than humans do! And second, not all Grim Reapers are supposed to be skeletons, okay?" Emizel said in annoyance.
"Not like it's going to matter, cause your ectoplasmic form is melting, due to the effects of the Ghostly Wail upon you." He said, much to Pariah Dark's horror. "The Ghostly Wail?! No! I thought that it was a rare ability!" Pariah Dark said in horror as he continued melting. "Yeah, Danny Phantom here had managed to unlock that ability within him sometime after he reimprisoned you into the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep! I don't need to explain the details behind that, because you don't have very long to live, if you know what I mean!" Emizel said. "NOOOOOOOO! I'M MELTING, I'M MELTING! OH, WHAT A WORLD!" Pariah Dark yelled in anguish as he melted into a pile of goo, right before Emizel cut his scythe right through said pile as it exploded to smithereens, leaving only a ball of light which Emizel grabbed and placed in his pocket before giving a thumbs up to Aquarion Phantom, signaling that Pariah Dark was no more. "Okay, Danny, you can stop now!" Lincoln said, right before Danny Phantom stopped his Ghostly Wail and then gasped to catch his breath.
"Danny!" Sam said as she, Maddie, Jazz, and Dani rushed over to him. "You okay?" Maddie asked in concern. "Does anyone have any lozenges?" Danny asked in a raspy voice. "Or perhaps a throat sprayer?" He added. "I carry throat lozenges with me whenever I go into battle, my main ability is a sonic scream, and it helps." Sid said. "Thanks! Do mind if you can give some over to me right now, please?" Danny asked with his voice still raspy. "Of course." Sid said.
Later...
Everyone was on the ground as Emizel held Pariah Dark's soul as the monarch could be heard calling out. "Hey, what's going on here? Why can't I move?" He called out. "That's going to be the least of your worries. I'll take this punk directly to Judge Claudus, a King in life, his number one pet peeve when it comes to judgement is tyrants who call themselves Kings." Emizel said. "That's good to know, I think!" Valerie said in confusion. "Just out of curiosity, what does this Judge Claudus look like?" Dani asked in confusion. "If I remember correctly from that little flashback movie that Shockwing showed to my family, girlfriend, and I when he invaded our apartment, Judge Claudus is, apparently, a sort of humanoid being feline-like traits, mainly those of a Lion, which is especially notable because of large red hair shaped like a lion's mane!" Cianán said. "Wait, does that mean that this Judge Claudus isn't even human?!" Danny asked in shock. "Actually, yes, he's not actually human! Judge Claudus is, in fact, a member of the Thunderians, a race of cat-like humanoids, with some having tails and others having no tails at all, that are ordered into different clans depending on what kind of cat species they physically resemble! In Judge Claudus's case, he's a member of the Lion Clan and was not only the King of Thundera, the homeland of the Thunderians, but was also once a holder of the title, Lord of the Thundercats!" Emizel answered.
"Dang, and you guys have him judging the spirits of those who come to the Afterlife Nexus?" Lincoln asked. "He was a very wise, fair, and kind ruler, it was an obvious choice from what we hear." Nagi said. "Of course, there are other Judges in the Afterlife Nexus besides him, but he's usually the one that does most of the judging!" Emizel said. "Anyway, we'd better get going, don't want to keep the Prinny making kit waiting!" Nagi said. "The what now?" Pariah Dark asked as Emizel opened up a portal and walked inside. "Tell Fuka and Desco we said hi!" Nagi said, following her boyfriend. "Will do!" Sid said. As soon as the portal closes, Danny, his friends and family, and the ghosts made a sigh of relief. "At least we'll never have to deal with him again!" Danny, his voice being back to normal, said. "Yeah, now he's not our problem anymore!" Skulker, still in true tiny blob form, said.
"Thanks so much for helping us." Dani told the Kamen Riders and Lucharangers. "You're welcome!" They all said at once. "Speaking of help! Ember, I believe it's time for me to use my Spirit powers to find the spirit of the boy that was supposed to go to the movies to you, but never showed up!" Aya said to Ember. "Yes, please!" Ember said, cracking her knuckles. "Alright, then! Spirit Summon! Bring to me the spirit of Ember McLain's former lover, who didn't show up to meet her at movies when he was supposed to!" Aya called out as she shot out an amber-colored beam of light into the sky. That caused a swirling cloud to appear in air and shoot down a beam of light from its center, which allowed a ghost of a red-haired young man, specifically around thirteen years old, though he's around the same height and body build as Danny, who was wearing a black leather jacket over a white t-shirt and a pair of bluish bell-bottom pants with brown platform shoes as well as a red bandana over his forehead, to descend down to the ground. Upon landing, the young early teenage ghost boy was all confused. "Huh? Where am I? How did I get here?" The young early teenage ghost asked in confusion (imagine his voice sounding like that of Gon from the anime "Hunter X Hunter"). "Is it just me, or does that ghost sound younger than me?" Danny asked everyone in confusion. "For once, it's not just you, Danny!" Sam said. "Excuse me, but, who are you?" Tucker asked the Ghost boy, causing him to turn around and notice the crowd. "Oh! Hello! I'm Ezra Windward! Last time I remember, I was thirteen years old and a junior at Casper High School!" The young early teenage ghost boy, now identified as Ezra Windward, said in introduction. "Say what? How is that possible?" Danny asked in confusion. "To put it simply, due to my good grades and high intelligence, I was allowed to skip Middle School! However, due to my family not having enough money for me to go to college just yet, I ended up going to high school instead, starting as a Freshman at age eleven!" Ezra explained. "Oh! Well, I guess that makes sense!" Sam noted. "Thanks! Of course, while starting at high school, I fell in love with a girl at first sight, even though she's at least three years older than me! Unfortunately, I never really got the chance to tell her my feelings right away, due to my very overbearing mother constantly telling me to keep focusing on my studies and not to date older girls, even though my father, on the other hand, was, to my own surprise, rather supportive of my crush on an older girl! Heck, I've been doing exactly that for all of my Freshman and Sophomore year! It wasn't until when I turned thirteen and started my Junior year that I decided that needed to confess my feelings to my crush, and the best way to do so was to ask her out to the movies, though I didn't feel like I have a chance, since I'm younger than her and there might be a chance of her already being taken by someone else! Surprisingly, not only was she not already taken, but she actually accepted my offer in spite of my age, since she was actually very unpopular amongst the girls and no boy other than me had ever bothered to notice her!" Ezra explained. "Yeesh! She's that unpopular?" Valerie asked. "Yep! Though, on the bright side, she does have a dream of becoming a rockstar, which I can respect, since I actually like rock-and-roll music even moreso than disco, which in comparison to rock music is something I find rather boring and..." Ezra said before being interrupted by Ember, who had enough of being ignored. "EZRA WINDWARD!" Ember shouted angrily, causing Ezra to jump up and yelp in fright before he turned around and finally noticed Ember in all her fury. "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to ignore you like that, miss! Really, I'm not the type that usually ignores people!" Ezra said, though it didn't make Ember any happier. "Do you have any idea what you have put me through since you have never showed up for our date at the movies?!" Ember asked angrily with her guitar in hand. "Sorry! I didn't mean to.. Whoa! Hold on! Amber?! Is that you?!" Ezra asked in surprise, much to everyone else's shock. "Amber?!" Everyone asked in confusion. "Her real name is Amber? Why didn't she ever tell me about that?" Skulker asked in confusion. However, that made Ember angrier. "It's Ember now, you stupid dipstick! I changed my name after I died in my room from the fire that burnt my house down, since I came back home all exhausted after I waited all night long for you to show up to meet me at the movies, yet you never did! IT'S PAYBACK TIME, DIPSTICK! KABONG!" Ember shouted angrily as she then swung her guitar furiously at Ezra, who yelped in pain after getting hit on the head with that instrument. "OW, THAT SMARTS!" Ezra yelled in pain while everyone else winced in pain upon witnessing that. 'Man, that's exactly like how Stella-chan hit me on the head with a guitar after I accidentally missed out on our date!' Shintomaru mentally noted. "There's more pain where that came from, you date ditcher!" Ember as she cracked her knuckles. "Whoa! Stop! Amber, or Ember, whatever you want to call yourself, believe it or not, whatever happened to you, I didn't mean for that happen and I certainly had no intentions on ditching you that day!" Ezra said in fear. "Yeah, right, like I'm ever going to believe someone who had betrayed my feelings!" Ember said as she swung her right arm in preparation to pummel him. However, Aya quickly read Ezra's aura and realized that he's not lying, so she immediately went in between Ezra and Ember and yelled "STOP!" before the angry ghost girl rockstar could even punch the scared ghost boy. "Hey, what gives? Why are you standing in my way?!" Ember asked angrily. "Look, Ember, I know you're really angry at him right now, but I just read his aura and he really isn't lying about not having any intentions to miss out on meeting with you at movies!" Aya answered, much to Ember's confusion. "What?!" Ember asked in confusion. "She's right! The reason why I never showed up to our date when I was supposed to, was because I died on the way there!" Ezra said, much to everyone's shock, especially Ember's.
"Ezra-kun, what happened?" Sakura asked. "Well, because something went wrong with my dad's car, I had no other choice but to go on skateboard! Anyway, I was on my way to meet up with Amber at the movie theater on foot after, with some help from my dad, I snuck out of my house when my mom refused to let me go on a school night on a date with a girl older than me, when I encountered this strange creature." Ezra started explaining.
Cue Flashback!
Ezra was seen sneaking out of his house through his bedroom window, with his father, who was a red-haired man in his 30's wearing a white polkadotted collared shirt sleeve shirt with brown bell-bottom pants and black platform shoes, helping him by providing his son with a wooden ladder. "Thanks for helping me, dad! I really appreciate it!" Ezra said. "No problem, son! I used to sneak out from my parents' house all the time when I was in highschool, so I figured that you want to do same, just for that older girl you've fallen in love with!" Ezra's father said. "Oh, and don't worry about your mother! I've snuck some sleeping pills into her drink, just so that she doesn't find out about this!" He added. "Thanks, dad!" Ezra said. "Come on! I'll take you there by car!" Ezra's father said as he and Ezra hopped into a red-and-black 1970 Chevy Camaro convertible car. Unfortunately, as soon as Ezra's father turned the ignition key, the car started sputtering and died out quickly. "What the heck?!" Ezra's dad asked in shock as he then checked the gas meter. "Empty? But how?" He asked upon noticing the number. He and Ezra got out and noticed a gasoline leak coming from the rear end of the car. "Oh, Heck! Some critter must have chewed on the tube leading to the gas tank and caused a huge leak! Then again, this is what I get for forgetting to close the garage door!" Ezra's father complained as he saw open bite marks on the gas tube, which caused the gasoline leak. "Then, I guess I have no other choice but to run to the movies on my skateboard! Besides, it's only a quarter of a mile from here anyway!" Ezra said as he then went into the garage and picked up a red skateboard while putting on a matching colored helmet with arm and knee pads. "Well, then, good luck, son! But, please, be careful not to run into any strangers on the way! You never know what kind of hooligans or street criminals might be lurking about!" Ezra's dad warned with concern for his son's safety. "Don't worry, dad! I'll be careful!" Ezra said as he put his skateboard on the ground and rode on it across the sidewalk. Meanwhile, in a random alleyway, a certain Muscaliet Animarius was wandering around the place. "Well this is just great! Ever since I came through that dimensional rift and wandered around this city, looking for food, and some fuel for my fire abilities, I am now completely lost and I can't find my way back to that rift, which is my only ticket back to my home universe! This day just can't get any worse!" Muscalignite complained. Just then he got accidentally hit by Ezra on his skateboard, as the latter was in a real hurry to get to movies, causing the Muscaliet Animarius to shout out "Yaaaaaaa-hoo-hoo-hoo-hooey!" as he was sent flying straight into a nearby row of trashcans *CRASH!*. "Ooh! Sorry, little squirrel, rabbit, mole, weasel, boar thing! I got no time to stand around right now, cause I got a date to go to and I'm already nearly running late as it is!" Ezra said as he briefly stopped and apologized to the fallen Muscaliet Animarius before quickly resumed his skateboarding to the movies. "Little squirrel, rabbit, mole, weasel, boar thing? Now that's really weird! But, anyway, I'm nearly late for a very important date!" Ezra noted as he continued on his way. As for Muscalignite, as soon as he got himself out of the pile of garbage that spilled on him when he crashed into those trashcans, he was covered in rotten food products, with a banana peel on top of his head, and he was fuming, both figuratively and literally, due to his extreme body heat burning the trash on his body. "Of Course You Realize, This Means War!" Muscalignite angrily declared as he took the banana peel off his head and burned off all of the organic trash on his body with the flames coming out of his back. He then looked at the banana peel and got a quick and wicked idea. Back with Ezra, we continuing his skateboarding across the sidewalk on his way to the movies when, suddenly, a banana peel landed in front of him and then got caught underneath one of his skateboard wheels, causing Ezra to slip and fall off his skateboard on onto the streets. "Ow! That hurt! Glad I'm wearing my safety gear, otherwise I would really be hurt!" Ezra complained as he got up and heard wicked laughter before turning around to Muscalignite standing in a corner. "Oh, it's you again! What do you want now? Are you trying to make me late for my date on purpose or something?" Ezra asked in complaint. "No, I'm here to get back at you for knocking me into those trashcans earlier! Seriously, it's disgusting!" Muscalignite retorted, much to Ezra's shock and confusion. "Wait a minute! You can talk?!" Ezra asked in confusion.
"I sure can! I'm Muscalignite, and I-" Muscalignite started saying. "As he started monologuing, I couldn't help but notice that on his left shoulder was a medallion with the image of a European Dragon." Ezra said. That made the Kamen Riders and Lucharangers gasp in shock. "Is something wrong?" Jazz asked, noticing this. "A medallion with a European Dragon is a symbol of our arch nemesis, King Draco. Everyone in his army has one on their left shoulders." Lincoln explained. "And we've already met one of his soldiers that fell through a dimensional rift, so it's possible you met another one!" Aurachnid said. "It sounds like a Muscaliet based Animarius, we'll have to talk to Master Toadus and Gorf about it when we get back home." Lisa noted. "A what now?" Ezra asked in confusion. "A Muscaliet is a European mythical creature, often seen in Medieval bestiaries! It's described as having a body like a hare, though smaller, legs and tail like a squirrel, ears like a weasel, a muzzle like a mole, hair like a pig, and teeth like a wild boar! It's been known to climb trees and jump from branch to branch by the strength of its tail! Whenever it climbs a tree, it devastates the leaves and fruit! Also, it makes its nest in an underground hollow below the tree, but, unfortunately, it's bodyheat is so hot, temperature wise that is, that it causes said tree to dry up and die!" Azalee explained.
"Yeah, that sounds about right." Ezra said. "So what happened next?" Vularena asked. "Oh, right! Thanks for reminding me!" Ezra said as the flashback resumed to Muscalignite having already finished his monologue. "Listen, I don't have time for this, I've got a hot date in 30 minutes." Ezra told Muscalignite. "Too bad! I'm not going anywhere and neither are you, especially since I'm not done with my revenge on you!" Muscalignite declared as he quickly got in front of Ezra. "Okay, listen, you dipstick, I already apologized to you and all! It was an accident! Besides, this revenge on me is rather petty, don't you think?" Ezra said in annoyance. "Maybe so, but that doesn't mean I'm backing off right now!" Muscalignite said. "Okay, this is getting ridiculous! I better get you out my way, right now!" Ezra declared as he then grabbed Muscalignite with his bare hands. "Big mistake, human! I'm hot to the touch, literally!" Muscalignite said as his extreme bodyheat caused a burning sensation in Ezra's hands. "YEOW!" Ezra yelled in pain as he immediately let go of Muscalignite and shook his hands as they were burning red from the Muscaliet Animarius's body heat. "Oh, that really burns!" Ezra complained as Muscalignite laughed at his misery. "*Chuckle!* Oh, trust me, this is far from the worst that I can do to you!" Muscalignite said. "And what is the worst thing that a little creature like you is going to do to me?" Ezra asked in complaint. In response to that, Muscalignite, with a smirk, suddenly grew to the size of an adult human male, becoming way taller than Ezra himself. "Who's the little one, now, punk?" Muscalignite asked with a grin, making Ezra go "Eep!" in fright.
Muscalignite then grabbed Ezra by his shirt collar and picked him up above the ground in a menacing manner. "What are you going to do?" Ezra asked in fright. "I'm going to do the best I can! By killing you!" Muscalignite answered maliciously as flames shot out of his back. He then manipulated said flames and unleashed them on Ezra, causing the boy to scream in pain as his clothes were on fire while Muscalignite dropped him. Then, as Ezra ran around screaming with his clothes on fire, Muscalignite took notice of a random grand piano hanging from a rope near a tall building, giving him another wicked idea. Afterwards, once Ezra was directly underneath the piano, Muscalignite then used his very long squirrel-like tail to jump high into the air and then cut through the rope with his teeth, causing the grand piano to fall straight onto Ezra and severely crush him underneath it *PIANO CRASH!*. Afterwards, Muscalignite got back to the ground with a wicked grin on his face and said "Whew! Taking revenge on a random human can really work up an appetite! Perhaps I'll sneak into a random human house, grab a few bites to eat, and then take a nap before I resume for that dimensional rift, so I can go back to my home universe and resume the mayhem that King Draco ordered me and the others to do!" before shrinking back to his squirrel-sized form and left scene. As for Ezra, he was critically injured from underneath that grand piano and was barely conscious enough to witness Muscalignite leave the scene before he finally breathed his last breath, fell unconscious, and died on the spot. "After that, I died, from both the burns and getting crushed underneath a grand piano!" Ezra said, making everyone gasp in shock. Hearing this story made Sakura grip her fist in anger. "Are you okay?" Sam asked in confusion.
"Her parents and brother were killed by a Cerberus themed Animarius." Lincoln explained. "Cerberus?! Like my personal guard dog that protects my lair and my box?!" Pandora asked in shock, with her loyal guard dog Cerberus suddenly appearing after his name was called. "Much to the eternal anger of my sister Lucy, yes." Lincoln said. "Why on Earth did he do that?!" Valerie asked in shock. "Sakura is descended from the Ronin and Nature Fairy who 5,000 years ago, sealed the Animarius Empire in a stone tablet." Clyde explained. "Ronin?" Danny asked in confusion. "A Japanese Samurai without a master!" Edge answered. "Wait, Fairy?" Jazz asked in surprise as Sakura allowed her wings to unfurl. "Not just a kawaii part of my costume." She said. "Kawaii means "cute" in Japanese, just so you know!" Shintomaru said.
"But anyway, now Cerberion has a sick and twisted obsession with killing Sakura on the day of an upcoming Solar Eclipse!" Aurachnid said. "Why on that particular day?" Tucker asked in confusion. "We don't know." Sakura admitted. "I'm so sorry Ember." Ezra told the ghostly rocker. "I can imagine how upset you must've been after I never showed up to our date, but now that I've explained about what happened to me, you must know that I never meant for that to happen and I certainly had no intentions of breaking my promise to you! Can you at least forgive and give me another chance with you?" He begged. At that moment, after hearing everything that happened to Ezra and how he died, she started feeling sorry for him and also guilty. "I'm willing to forgive you, but I'm kind of with this guy right now." Ember said, picking up Skulker. "Although right now I'm starting to have second thoughts after seeing this." She admitted.
"Uh, hi!" Skulker said. "Hello! Seriously, though, Ember, why did you date him?" Ezra asked. "To be fair, I didn't really know what he actually looks like, since he spends most of his time piloting a human-sized robotic battlesuit! Plus, we both shared a bit of a hatred towards a common enemy that constantly keeps being a thorn at our sides, namely Danny Phantom here!" Ember explained. "Hey! You guys were causing problems for my town, so I had step in stop your evil plans!" Danny retorted. "Wait, what?!" Ezra asked in shock and appall. "Ooh! Right, forgot to mention that detail! See, while Skulker here often hunts after Danny, since he's actually a hunter of rare and unusual ghosts, I, on the other hand, often used my rock music for evil purposes, usually by mind-controlling people and trying to dominate the world so everyone would remember me! Heck, my first plot involved hypnotizing teenagers in an effort to overthrow authority, while my second plot involved teaming up with Youngblood to use my music to hypnotize all adults and make them go on a fake cruise, and my third plot involved me teaming up with Penelope Spectra and Kitty in an effort to get rid of all the men and hypnotize all of the women in Amity Park, since Kitty had a fight with her boyfriend Johnny 13 over her belief that he loves his motorcycle far more than her while I had a quarrel with a Skulker, since I called him a lousy hunter over his inability to hunt Danny Phantom, or any ghost for that matter, or even the remote!" Ember explained. "Yeah, I was rather upset about that! I tried to prove to Ember that I'm not a lousy hunter by stalking after the Phantom all the way to Lake Eerie! Heck, I even used a Lake Monster against him! Unfortunately, I ended up getting defeated by the Phantom's father of all people, much to my chagrin!" Skulker said in bitterness. "Okay, but seriously, though, Ember, why did you do all of those horrible things?! I thought you were kinder than that! What happened to you?!" Ezra asked in appall, making Ember feel guiltier. "*Sigh!* After I waited all night long for you to show, yet you never did, and after I went back home all exhausted, I died in my room after my house, for unknown reasons, caught on fire while I was unable to wake in time to try to escape! Once I became a ghost, I felt so angry and frustrated over the fact that you never came to our date when you were supposed to, that I ended up taking my anger out on the entire town after feeling that you had dumped me! But, now that I know what really happened to you and how it's not even your own fault, I'm starting to feel guilty about everything I've done! I must be a horrible person and now you must really hate me after hearing everything I've told you about!" Ember said in sadness before crying loudly. Ezra then put his hand on Ember's shoulder. "It's okay, Ember, I forgive you! But you really have to stop using your music for evil! Seriously, music like yours should be used to make people happy, not for hypnotism!" Ezra told the ghostly rocker. "Yeah, you're right! I'll stop using my music for evil, that I can promise you that!" Ember said. "So, what now? I mean you are with this Skulker guy, right?" Ezra asked. "Yeah, but like I said, after seeing his true form, I'm starting to have second thoughts about dating him!" Ember admitted. "Actually, Ember, after hearing about this guy's really sad story about how he actually tried to make it to your date, but got killed by some sort of monster before he could even make it, which is enough to admittedly make even make me cry, perhaps I'm willing to work on a compromise!" Skulker said. "What sort of compromise are you talking about?" Ember asked in confusion. "Perhaps I'll be willing to let you date him again after you two have been apart from each other for so long! Besides, I'm also starting to have second thoughts about dating you! After all, due to my true form being all diminutive and unappealing, as well as the fact that I wasn't able to please you very much, I have been thinking that our current relationship isn't really working out as I thought it should be! Of course, we could still be friends, right?" Skulker suggested, much to everyone's surprise.
"Eh, good enough for me." Ember said, literally tossing Skulker away before grabbing Ezra and running away. "Well, all's well that ends well." Dani said. "Uh, Dani?" Aden asked nervously. "You said that after all this we'd talk about what happened earlier." He reminded her. "Oh! Right! Your sudden crush on me!" Dani realized, much to Danny's confusion. "Wait, what?" Danny asked in confusion. Lincoln then explained what happened in Vector LL on the way to this dimension. "Yikes! That kid really has bad luck when it comes to asking out girls!" Danny noted. "I know the pain. I feel incredibly lucky to have Aquene." Laird said as said girl chuckled and kissed him on the cheek, causing him to fall. "Is he okay?" Tucker asked. "Yeah, I'm fine, don't worry." Laird said as Dani took a deep breath. "Okay, Aden, I like you, but, considering that we've just met and the fact that we're from two different universes, I won't be dating you right now!" Dani said, much to Aden's disappointment. "Aw, Tartar Sauce!" Aden complained. "But.." Dani said, getting Aden's attention. "That doesn't mean I'm rejecting you or anything like that! In fact, I'll let you know later this month if we could get together sometime, if you know what I'm saying!" Dani said, much to Aden's surprise.
"Wait, I'm confused. So she's rejecting him, but she's not rejecting him?" Aurachnid said in confusion. "Love can be confusing." Clyde admitted. "Says the guy who had the biggest crush ever on my oldest sister." Lincoln said with a chuckle. "Did you have to bring that up, Lincoln?" Clyde asked while blushing in embarrassment. "Sorry, buddy." Lincoln said. Aya then came up to Desiree. "Speaking of love! Desiree, I believe now is the time for you to have your own heart's desires fulfilled for once!" Aya said, much to Desiree's surprise. "Really? How so?" Desiree asked in confusion. "Like this! Spirit Summon! Bring to me the spirit of the Sultan who fell in love with Desiree and promised to grant her all of her heart's desires and even a kingdom of her very own, but was unable to due to his jealous wife banishing her from the palace!" Aya called out as she shot out an amber-colored beam of light into the sky, which caused a swirling cloud to appear in air and shoot down a beam of light from its center, which allowed a ghost of an round Arabic man in his 20's, who had a black moustache and goatee and was wearing a sultan's clothing and turban, to descend down to the ground. "Huh? What's going on? Where am I?" The man asked in confusion. "Your Majesty! Let me reintroduce you to Desiree!" Aya said to the Sultan ghost as she pointed at Desiree. "Wait a minute! Desiree? You're here?!" The Sultan ghost said in joy. "Sultan Fadel Quasim! Do you have any idea how miserable I became since your horrible wife banished from the palace?!" Desiree asked angrily, making the Sultan rather frightened a bit. "I was rendered poor, constantly searching for food just to survive, getting harassed by very unsavory men, and I eventually died from heartbreak and old age while falling next to an empty magic genie bottle, which made me become a genie ghost and I ended up wandering around the planet, always granting people's wishes within an earshot, but I was never able to fulfill my own desires, and that's really frustrating to me! All I ever wanted was just to be loved!" Desiree said in sadness before crying loudly. "I'm so sorry that happened to you, Desiree! Really, I am! I never wanted my wife Fatima to banish you from the palace, but she wouldn't even allow me to protest against it or even let me talk to you! Also, truth be told, my relationship with Fatima was more or less one-sided, since I don't actually have romantic feelings for her, even though she does for me!" The Sultan ghost explained. "If that's true, then were you married to her in the first place?!" Desiree asked. "In all honesty, my parents and Fatima's parents forced me to marry her when we were 18, mainly because of I refuse, then our respective kingdoms would go to war against each other, and that's something that even I couldn't stomach, as you all can imagine all of the death and destruction a war between our kingdoms would bring upon our citizens! Plus, the same thing would happen if I ever dare to try to divorce Fatima, since her father is very powerful militaristic leader himself and would get very violent if something bad happens to his daughter!" Sultan Fadel explained in fear, causing everyone to gasp in shock, especially Desiree. "So, just out curiosity, your Majesty, how exactly are you dead right now?" Edge asked. "Well, after Desiree was banished and my wife forbade me from going after her, let alone leave the palace, I ended up having becoming heartbroken myself and began eating in despair and depression, which eventually caused me to die of a heart attack from not having enough exercise!" Sultan Fadel explained, causing everyone to shudder at that.
"Dang." Lincoln said. "As for whatever happened to Fatima, well, to be honest, I don't really know, since she was still alive when I had died, though it's most likely that, given how much time has passed since then, she most likely died from old age already!" Sultan Fadel explained. "Anyways, I truly apologize for everything you went since your banishment, Desiree! If there's any way I could make it all up to you, please name it and I'll promise to fulfill it!" He added. After some thought, Desiree finally said "I want to marry you and live in a palace together with you, because, even after everything I been through, I still have romantic feelings for you!", much to the Sultan's delight. "In that case, I would be very happy to marry you!" Sultan Fadel replied in delight. "As for the palace part, well, we might need some help on that, since we're clearly not in Arabia anymore!" He said. "Actually, your Majesty, since Desiree is a genie ghost now, perhaps you can simply wish for it to happen!" Aya informed. "Oh! Of course! I wish for a palace, exactly like the kingdom that I've promised you all those years ago, to be built right over on that vacant area!" Sultan Fadel said while pointing at a vacant area of the city, making Desiree tear up in joy. "So you have wished it, so shall it be!" Desiree said in delight as he then used her wish-granting magic to conjure up a white-and-gold Arabian-styled palace with four towers on its four corners into the air and slowly brought it down onto the vacant area. "Omedetogozaimasu, o ni-ri!" Sakura said. "Congratulations, you two." Shintomaru, Edge, and Lisa translated.
"Thank You!" Sultan Fadel and Desiree said at once. Before leaving for their new afterlife together. "Now that's a fairy tale ending when I see it!" Adelaide said before squealing in joy and then fainting. "Is she okay?" Jazz asked in confusion. "She's just excitable when it comes to events resembling fairy tale endings, especially romantic moments, since wants to have a boyfriend of her own one day!" Sid said. "Understandable!" Jazz said as Klemper approached the Lucharangers and asked "Hello! I'm Klemper! Want to be my friends?" in an awkward, yet friendly manner. "Oh! Sure! I'll be your friend!" CJ asked, much to Klemper's delight and everyone else's surprise. "Really?! Yay! I got a friend! Thank You!" Klemper said as he hugged CJ tightly, though the latter didn't mind. "You're welcome, Klemper!" CJ replied. "Man, I never thought I'd see the day when someone willingly becomes friends with Klemper of all ghosts! Seriously, even I find him to be annoying!" The Box Ghost noted.
Later...
The Vectors and Alebrije Mechs were up in the sky, preparing to leave for their home dimension. "Remind me again why you're bringing Klemper along with us, CJ?" Carl asked as Klemper can be seen riding on top of the Mephoatzeal mech's back. "Well, he's been looking for friends for so long, yet nobody wants to be friends with him, that's he's very lonely, so I thought I'd be his friend and let him come with us, so he doesn't feel lonely anymore!" CJ explained. Ronnie Anne, Bobby, Carlota, and Carl sighed at CJ's innocence and purity. "Let's just head back home." Lincoln said. "We hope to see you guys again sometime!" Sakura called. "Same to you!" Danny replied. "Oh! And, Aya, when you do come back, please give some of us girls that beauty enhancement potion that you mentioned before we got here, okay?" Dani asked, making everyone else look at her in confusion. "Can do!" Aya said as the Vector LL opened up a portal which they all flew through. "Beauty Enhancement Potion?" Jazz asked in confusion. "Aya told me about it. Her ancestor Ofui created a special magic potion that when drank by a girl at least 10 years of age, well, it'd be pretty hard to miss those results." Dani hinted, pointing to her chest. "Now that you mention it, that Sakura girl did look more well endowed in that area than I was even close to at 13." Jazz realized.
"Yeah, apparently, from what Aya told me, the exact size usually depends on a girl's age, with ten-year-olds starting off with D-Cups while older girls get larger sizes! Plus, that potion also includes other benefits, such as back-strengthening magic and anti-gravity magic to prevent backaches, breathing problems, and saggings!" Dani said. This caused Jazz and Sam to blush, covering their chests in embarrassment. Valerie, on the other hand, looked at her own chest, which is fairly big enough to be a D-Cup, and smiled a bit. "Eh, mine is already big, but I wouldn't mind if these get bigger!" Valerie noted proudly. "Uh, just out of curiosity, you don't suppose that Aya has a made exclusively for guys, right? I mean, I wouldn't mind having muscles or six-pack abs, if you know what I mean?!" Tucker asked, causing Dani to wince a bit. "Yeah, actually, from what she told me, while Aya didn't make such a potion, her male cousin from her mother's side Nyansipo actually did so or at least tried to!" Dani said, much to the boys' confusion. "What do you mean by that, Dani?" Danny asked in confusion. "Apparently a type of demon called a Pecadiablo, who's specifically named Gremlock, switched out a couple of the ingredients when he wasn't looking and well..." Dani said as she explained the incident. "WHAT?!" They all asked in shock.
Meanwhile...
Pariah Dark found himself in the middle of the Afterlife Nexus courtroom. "Pariah Dark. Everyone in the Afterlife Nexus has heard about you, given your infamous reputation as a tyrant, yet nobody has judged you here for your crimes, until now!" Judge Claudus said. "Big whoop. What can you do? In case you haven't noticed, I'm already dead!" Pariah Dark taunted. "Well, this is dimension isn't called the Afterlife Nexus for nothing! Besides, there are punishments specifically designed for sinful souls such as yourself! Ever heard of Hell?" Judge Claudus asked back, causing Pariah Dark to gasp in fright upon hearing that last word. "Well you're going to wish you were down there! Bring in the Prinny making kit!" Judge Claudus ordered. As soon as he said that, a group of angels brought in the portable assembly factory in question, much to Pariah Dark's confusion. "What in the world is that?" Pariah Dark asked. "That is the Prinny Making Kit. For your crimes, you are being sentenced to go in there and come out, as this!" Judge Claudus said, holding up a picture of a Prinny.
"Are You Kidding Me?! You're Going To Turn Me Into A Sort Of Plush Penguin With Peg Legs?!" Pariah Dark asked in shock and disbelief. "Not only that, but you're going to have to learn to get used to hearing and saying the word 'dood' over and over again, because under Prinny rule number one, you will have to end every sentence with it." Judge Claudus said. "Forget this! I'm getting out of here!" Pariah Dark declared as he tried to escape, only to be easily stopped by some chains, courtesy of Emizel. "I hope you like Sardines!" He said as Pariah was dragged towards the Prinny making kit. Emizel then placed Pariah Dark in position on a platform that's in front of the machine and underneath a cartoonish mechanical hand that automatically came to life and grabbed the Ghost King before lifting him up. "No! No!" Pariah Dark said in horror as the mechanical hand dropped him into the tube of the Prinny-making Kit, causing the rest of the machine to come roaring to life as its gears, pistons, and other mechanical parts started moving and steam starts blowing out of its pipes. After a few minutes, the Prinny-making Kit opened it's doors to reveal Pariah Dark, now as a black-and-white-colored Prinny with his signature horns, green hair, right eye scar, left eyepatch, and cape, being carried out of the exit on a conveyor belt. Upon leaving the kit, the Ghost King-turned-Prinny got up on his peg legs and started stumbling around in confusion before looking at a mirror that appeared from the Prinny-making Kit's exit point and was placed right in front of him. Upon looking at himself, Pariah Dark was horrified beyond belief, all to the point of loudly shouting "NOOOOOOOOOO!" in anguish.
"Looks like the Ghost King is now reduced to a Prinny in need of training! Emizel, since you're here, do you mind delivering Pariah Dark over to Lord Valvatorez, just so that he won't be kept waiting?" Judge Claudus asked politely. "With pleasure, Judge Claudus!" Emizel said as he then wrapped up Pariah Dark with his chains. "This is just not my day!" Pariah Dark complained as Emizel summoned a teleportation circle before he teleported himself to Hades, with the Ghost King-turned-Prinny in literal tow.
Meanwhile, at the Animarius Empire Castle...
King Draco was showing the Tree of Life to Futaba, who was rather confused at the tree's appearance. "Okay, the energy feels familiar, but the Tree of Life looks different from when us Shadow Angels had it! Why?" Futaba asked in confusion. "Actually, that's because this Tree of Life, as it turns out, is actually the offspring of the Tree of Life that you're familiar with! The reason why it looks different is because it had grown and adapted to the environment of Animarius Prime when it first arrived in this universe, though I don't know how that happened!" King Draco admitted. "Interesting. For some reason I'm sensing another familiar energy." Futaba said, touching the tree. From that moment, Futaba felt the presences of four Shadow Angel souls within the Tree of Life, specifically the souls of Preternatural Strength Angel Golshi, Archetypical Angel Lensi, Information Angel Shila, and Elder Angel Johannes. "Goishi! Lensi! Shila! Johannes!" Futaba said in surprise. "Futaba, nice to see you're well." Johannes said. "As well as a Shadow Angel who was ruthlessly killed by humans for no good reason can be!" Futaba said angrily. "We know! The moment we felt your life force being suddenly extinguished, we were all devastated!" Lensi said sadly as Golshi made animalistic groans and growls in agreement.
"Shila here took it the worse out of all of us." Johannes said, gesturing to the two bodied Sphinx like Shadow Angel. "If you guys are in this state, I guess that things didn't go over well for you either." Futaba noted. "Truth is, when the Tree of Life was being pollinated by the Solar Aquarion, we all willingly gave up their bodies to the Tree of Life in hopes to be reincarnated! Unfortunately, because Solar Aquarion was only piloted by humans and has no Shadow Angel within it, instead of birthing a new race of Shadow Angels, the tree began to die! Because of that, the Tree of Life ended up using whatever strength it had left to self-pollinate itself and produce a single Genesis Fruit that launched itself into space and into a dimensional rift, with our souls being carried along within it! Afterwards, the Genesis Fruit made it into another universe and floated around in space until it eventually landed on an alien planet, where it not only grew into a new tree that looked different from the previous one, but it adapted itself to both the planet's environment and its inhabitants, who call themselves the Animarius!" Shila explained."Fortunately, this King Draco brought the new tree with him when he left the planet." Johannes said. "King Draco is a friend of mine, I met him sometime after the humans killed me, I, along with him, since he was originally known simply as Drako, wound up in a place called the Afterlife Nexus." Futaba started explaining. "There, I wandered around the place after I was refused the offer to reincarnate, since that would I would most likely end up being reborn as human being instead of a Shadow Angel, which is an even bigger problem for me since I learned that our race as whole has gone extinct now! After wandering the Afterlife Nexus for who knows how long, I took notice of a special kind of water well called the Well of Reincarnation and, out of curiosity, scrolled through the different universes that it was connected to, until I discovered one universe that had a planet with an energy signature that's rather similar to the Tree of Life! But, because of the fact that I'm dead and the only way to go there was to reincarnate, I decided that I needed a soul to be reincarnated into that planet and then rendezvous with me in a different universe, so that can figure out a way to resurrect myself from death! Luckily, I came across a portal to another dimension called the Ghost Zone, which would be the perfect place for me to hide out until the time was right! Then, after wandering around the Afterlife Nexus in search for the soul that I needed, I came across Drako at the courthouse as he was about to be judged for his crimes in life! Sensing that he was never human to begin with and the fact he has ambitions for conquest, I realized that he was perfect for a job! Just then, as Drako was about to be dragged to one of the many Hells connected to the Afterlife Nexus, and as soon the portal to that Hell was opened up, a strange individual, who looked like a white armored humanoid with weather-based powers, was already there at the entrance and he immediately rushed through it while knocking out the guards! At that moment, I decided to take action myself by taking out more of the guards while also helping Drako get freed from his chains! I also managed to knock out the judge of the court, named John Goodspeed, who put up a good fight, but wasn't fast enough to dodge my attacks! Afterwards, Drako, the humanoid, who was actually a malevolent human named Isaka Shinkuro, who can transform into a monster called a Dopant, and I traveled to the Well of Reincarnation, while sharing each other's backstories of we died, and then started my plan! First, by setting the coordinates to an alternate Earth, specifically the Earth we're all in now, and allowing Isaka to dive into the Well first, simply as a way to show Drako how it works! Then, after that, I had redirected the coordinates to the very planet I had discovered, the same one where the four of you and the Genesis Fruit must have landed, before I had then told Drako to look for me in the Ghost Zone once he had reincarnated into that planet, right before I entered the portal to the Ghost Zone! I even had a quick glimpse of Drako diving into the Well as I entered the Ghost Zone, where I managed to stay hidden and wandered around for quite a long time, keeping myself out of trouble and not get involved in whatever conflicts that occured in that dimension, at least until the day when this ghost hunter named Skulker discovered my presence and decided to chase me all over the Ghost Zone before capturing me in a technological cube of all things, much to my own anger and chagrin!" He explained.
"Intriguing." Shila said. "If only I was at my full power! I could get my revenge on humanity and finish what we started so long ago! I tried earlier with a Cherubim Soldier I had created after watching you guys, but it was defeated by some annoying humans that King Draco has been having trouble with himself." Futaba complained. "There may be one way." Lensi said. "And what would that be?" Futaba asked. "Apparently, because this Tree of Life had adapted to the environment of Animarius race's home planet, it allows any fallen Animarius to be ressurected from the dead, simply by inserting these medallions, which they usually have attached to their left shoulders, leftover from their deaths into the tree's fruits!" Lensi answered. "Perhaps if you were to place a feather that came from your wings, in a fruit, it would work the same." He suggested. "One big problem with that idea, last time I saw my feathers, the humans who captured me had stolen my feathers upon killing me and, since I'm dead and also no longer in our home universe, I have no idea where those humans have kept them!" Futaba stated in bitterness.
"But wait, King Draco has a special gate that can open up portals to other worlds! I can use it to find the world that has my feathers, organize a strike team, and bam!" He realized. "Now that's really brilliant!" Lensi noted. "Thanks, Lensi! By way, I couldn't help but notice that there are three Shadow Angels missing! Whatever happened to Moroha, Otoha, and Toma?" Futaba asked, causing the four Shadow Angel spirits to become crestfallen. "Sadly, the last we saw of Moroha before we gave up our bodies, he ended up killed in battle by a mass-produced man-made version of Aquarion when it destroyed his personal Cherubim Soldier in a suicide explosion! As for Otoha and Toma, well, after we were absorbed into the Tree of Life and before the Genesis Fruit was launched out of our universe, our spirits had witnessed Otoha being killed in battle by another man-made Aquarion while Toma, on the other hand, was last seen hijacking Vector Luna and flying underground towards the dying Tree of Life's roots, with Vector Sol and Vector Mars chasing behind him! While we don't know his final fate, since our spirits ended up getting transferred into the Genesis Fruit before it launched itself out our universe, we pretty much assume the Toma has died as well!" Johannes explained sadly.
"In that case, my quest for vengeance won't just be for me, it will be for all Shadow Angel kind!" Futaba promised as he came out of the trance. "Are you okay?" Stephano asked. "Fire up the Dimension Gate. I've got some feathers to find." Futaba said with a smirk.
