***I still don't own Danny Phantom or Chaotic!***

Power of the Oligarch

Danny was steaming mad at Klay for what that lanky bastard said about Krystella, and he wasn't afraid to admit it. He had no right to call his girlfriend a whore, and Danny planned to make him pay dearly for doing so! And he knew exactly how to do it.

"Danny! Hey, Danny, wait up!"

Our young Chaotic player stopped in his tracks and turned around to see Logan and Krystella trying to catch up with him. He took a deep breath and sighed as he tried to calm himself down.

"Are you okay, hon?" Krystella asked, putting her arms around her boyfriend.

"I should be asking you that. What he said was vulgar, highly uncalled for, and VERY hurtful!" Danny said, returning the hug.

"I'll say it was! That guy obviously has an extreme superiority complex and a lack of better judgement!" Logan added, nodding in agreement. "So, I take it you've already got a plan for your match against Klay?"

Danny nodded in affirmative, a determined look appearing on his face.

"Yeah, I do. And it's only gonna take one M'arrillian, a single location, and one Battlegear to do it!" Danny replied with a wicked grin on his face.

Krystella and Logan didn't know why, but they were seriously liking that grin. Danny motioned for them to follow him to a table, and begins to explain his plan. Boy, is Klay in for a surprise!

***Back in the Real World***

All was quiet at the dinner table of the Fenton family. The three eldest members of the family could tell that something was up with Danny, but they just didn't know what. All they could tell was that he was barely restraining his anger as he bit down on his chicken.

"Danny, is everything okay sweetie?" Maddie asked.

"No. Everything is NOT okay! That damn Klay is gonna pay for what he said about Kryssie!" Danny growled.

Now that REALLY surprised his family. Danny was never one to use curse words, even in his worst moods! That just showed just how far he's been pushed off the edge.

"Okay, first of all, watch the language young man. Just because you're mad doesn't mean you can swear." Jack said. "Second of all, what exactly did this Klay person say about Krystella to get you in such a fowl mood?"

"Yeah, I mean, you haven't used a single curse word since I've known you!" Jazz added.

"Klay called her a… he called her a… UGH, I just can't say it!" Danny sighed.

Maddie could tell that this was hard for her son, so she got up and went over to a nearby desk before coming back with a piece of paper and a pencil.

"You don't have to say it. But I want you to at least write down what he called her so we know why you're so upset." Maddie requested.

"Okay, but know that this is the only reason that I accepted his challenge for a rematch." Danny said.

He took the paper and pencil, and quickly wrote down the word before giving the paper to his parents and sister. Suffice to say, they were instantly upset when they read exactly what Klay had the gall to call Krystella. Maddie and Jazz especially found this to be offensive and rude.

"You did the right thing standing up for Krystella, son." Jack said.

"Yeah, you defended her honor from some jerk who's obviously a sore loser!" Jazz added.

"Danny, I don't care how you do it or what creatures you use, just make sure you make this Klay guy suffer in the Drome!" Maddie instructed.

The young M'arrillian player gained an evil smirk as his eyes narrowed.

"Oh, don't worry… I plan to!"

***Two Hours Later: Hotekk Drome***

A lot of players from around the world were gathered to watch the only known M'arrillian player taking on Klayotic in a three on three match. The details as to the reason for the match were left quite vague, but they were still excited to be watching.

"Klayotic, you have been challenged by Poseidon to a three on three match here in the Hotekk Drome. Select your teams, and may the best player win."

"Oh, I intend to!" Klay arrogantly said to himself.

Danny didn't say anything. He just started selecting his chosen creatures, Battlegear, Mugic, and the location for Klay's downfall. And from outside the Drome, Krystella and Logan were watching in anticipation for what was about to come.

"Danny's already got Klay beat!" Logan declared.

"It's a good thing he told us his strategy already. Otherwise, I may have begun to doubt his abilities." Krystella added.

Soon enough, both players had chosen their battle decks, and were ready to fight.

"Players, lock your decks."

They did as instructed, and the teams showed up as follows.

Danny's Team: Aa'une the Oligarch (back row), Aer'dak, Rath'tab (front row)

Klay's Team: Barrath Beyond, Lord Von Bloot, Krekk

"Klayotic, it is your attack. Activate the Location Randomizer."

Klay spun the Randomizer, and the first location was chosen.

"Skeleton Springs. Choose your attacking and target creatures, please."

"This will be a piece of cake! Barrath Beyond attacks Aer'dak!" Klay said.

(I'm not gonna bother writing these first two fights, so here's the stats for them instead.)

Barrath Beyond vs. Aer'dak in Skeleton Springs. Winner: Barrath Beyond.

Rath'tab vs. Krekk in Lake Blakeer. Winner: Krekk.

"You'd best give up now, fish face! I'm about to win this match, and you will be history!" Klay taunted.

"I'm afraid that's not true. And you'll understand why soon enough!" Danny countered.

"Klayotic, it is your attack. Activate the Location Randomizer."

Klay did as instructed, and his personal favorite location appeared on the screen.

"Gothos Tower. Choose your attacking and target creatures, please."

"Krekk attacks Aa'une!"

Both players touched their cards, and turned into their respective creatures. Krekk is an UnderWorld creature that looks like a hideous hybrid between a Cyclops and a gargoyle.

"Let's get Chaotic!"

In a flash of light, the two players were sent into the game world, and the match began. Klay as Krekk was already in the air using a Torwegg to quickly scout out the area. He was determined to make calamari out of Aa'une, and planned to do so as painfully as possible.

"Now if I were a living squid out of water, where would I be?" Krekk thought to himself.

He was broken out of his thoughts when a purple laser blast hit him in the back, sending him careening into the wall and damaging the Torwegg beyond use. And while Krekk was trying to pry himself from the wall, Aa'une came into view. In his hand was a spherical object that had constantly moving purple energy in it, and he looked ready to use it.

"Flux Bauble, do your thing!" Aa'une said.

As the Flux Bauble was activated, the whole location blurred out before resetting as a floating island over an electrically charged lake. And with no wall to be stuck in anymore, Krekk began plummeting into the water below. Fortunately for him, he remembered that he has wings and pulled up just before he hit the water.

"There. Now the stage is set for your defeat!" Aa'une declared.

Krekk merely laughed at the M'arrillian leader as he landed on the island.

"You stupid idiot! I already won at Lake Blakeer! Did you forget that your M'arrillians get weaker whenever they fight in this location?" Krekk mocked.

But Aa'une didn't seem worried.

"True, MOST M'arrillians do get weaker in Lake Blakeer. However," Aa'une was then engulfed in a golden energy. "I grow far more powerful in this location! Instead of getting weaker in Lake Blakeer, I get stronger!"

The M'arrillian soon started roaring out in power as he began to change drastically. No longer was he semitranslucent, but now he was completely solid. He grew until he was a good three hundred feet tall, and he became even more intimidating in appearance. His tentacle hair thrashed wildly about as his transformation was complete.

Krekk was now slack jawed and buggy eyed due to the transformation. And from outside the Drome, the audience finally understood why Danny had intentionally lost those first two matches. So that he could do that!

"Mother of mutations!" Logan gasped. "I know that Danny said Aa'une transforms when in Lake Blakeer, but I didn't think it would be this drastic!"

"That's a M'arrillian for you, Logan. Always keeps you guessing." Krystella said.

Back in the Drome, the cowardly Krekk was now seriously fighting to keep from wetting himself. He'd never seen such a terrifying transformation in all of his life! And from within this game version of Krekk, Klay was thinking only one thing.

"Oh SNAP!"

"I told you that I'd make you regret insulting my girlfriend, and now you will be destroyed in a manner most unpleasant!" Aa'une declared.

Using one of the tentacles on his head, he wasted no time in shooting a Symmetry Slam at Krekk and instantly coding him from the power boost.

Back in the Drome, Aa'une was back to his original form and turning back into Danny. Klay certainly wasn't happy about this loss.

"I protest! That shouldn't have happened! You're cheating somehow!" Klay accused.

But the Drome voice proved him wrong.

"Aa'une is the only M'arrillian that gains power from Lake Blakeer instead of weakening. That's not cheating. That's strategy."

"And now, it's my move!" Danny declared.

He spun the Randomizer, and it once again landed on…

"Lake Blakeer."

"Wait a minute, how do you keep getting the same location over and over again?" Klay asked.

"Funny you should ask. I keep getting Lake Blakeer because ALL of my current locations are Lake Blakeer!" Danny elaborated. "I told you that I would make you suffer, and you're about to see why!"

Aa'une the Oligarch attacks Barrath Beyond. Winner: Aa'une the Oligarch.

It was a spectacle no one had ever seen since a Codemaster! A single creature taking down an army! Albeit a small one, but an army nonetheless!

"Alright, this is it! Aa'une the Oligarch versus Lord Von Bloot for the match!" Logan declared, a predatory grin on his face.

"Come on, babe! Show that lanky creep who the real king is!" Krystella urged, cheering Danny on.

What no one noticed was that there was someone else who was watching the match. It was an older teenage boy about Klay's age. He looked to be of African descent with very dark skin, short curly black hair, and a scar over one of his brown eyes. The left one to, be exact. He wore a beige muscle shirt that clung to him like a second skin and showed off his well sculped musculature, a pair of black cargo shorts, and a necklace made from lion teeth and a few shards of hyena bone. Held in his hand was a golden yellow Mipedian Scanner.

"Hmm, the final match should be quite interesting. If this boy is who I think he is, I may soon have my newest allies and arch rival after this match." He thought to himself, taking a sip from his diet soda.

"Klayotic, it is your attack. Activate the Location Randomizer."

Reluctantly, Klay did as instructed and hoped that he'd get a location that he could use to his advantage. And it would seem that his prayers have been answered.

"The next location: The Iron Pillar. Choose your attacking and target creatures please."

"Prepare to lose, Daniel! Lord Von Bloot attack Aa'une!"

Both players touched their cards, and became enveloped in code as they transformed into their chosen creatures.

Lord Von Bloot is an UnderWorld creature that resembles a male harpie mixed with a fallen angel. His overall appearance is skeletal, and he has a blue eye and a red eye.

"Let's get Chaotic!" Klay declared.

In response, Danny just punched his palm. The final battle was now on! A flash of light, and they were transported to a literal pillar of damaged, rusty iron.

Aa'une was carefully climbing the steel beams in his search for the enemy. He may be more suited to underwater combat and fighting at Lake Blakeer, but those tentacles of his had a strong enough grip to help the M'arrillian leader scale the rusty pillar.

"Hmm, that flying monkey reject has gotta be around here somewhere." Aa'une thought to himself.

The sound of beating wings got the M'arrillian's attention, and he quickly launched a Riptide attack at the flying creature. Unfortunately, he only managed a glancing blow.

"Power Pulse!"

Von Bloot fired a barrage of energy fists at Aa'une, trying to shoot him off of his perch. But if there's one thing Danny as Aa'une knows how to do, it's confuse his opponent. He swiftly jumped to a different platform, and countered with a Paral-Eyes attack. It scored a direct hit, sending the UnderWorld Conquerer Muge plummeting to his doom.

But Danny knew that wouldn't be enough to code him. While the impact did drop most of Von Bloot's energy, it wasn't enough to defeat him.

"I need to think outside the box. Simply hypnotizing him won't be enough this time! And I can't use my Battlegear in this location! How do I… wait! That's it!"

Aa'une looked down to see Von Bloot quickly approaching with the intent of destroying the M'arrillian.

"Pebble Storm!"

A hailstorm of rocks was launched at Aa'une, and scored a direct hit. And the UnderWorlder wasn't done yet. He launched two Flash Kicks at Aa'une, scoring a direct hit each time. But he wasn't prepared for this.

"Rustoxic!"

Aa'une fired a stream of rust colored poison at Von Bloot, and scored a direct hit on the UnderWorlder. He gasped as he saw the attack fast approaching, but was unable to dodge in time. He was hit in the chest, and rendered completely immobile in a matter of minutes.

"Hope you like skydiving! But don't be scared, I won't let you fall. FLOOD FORCE!"

Without warning, Aa'une launched a strong torrent of water at the falling UnderWorld creature, and took out the last of his energy, thus winning the match. And outside the Drome, the whole crowd was going absolutely nuts.

"The winner is Poseidon."

Klay just undocked his Scanner, and wordlessly stomped out of the Drome in anger. Boy, somebody sure is a sore loser.
