Season 3 Episode 13

Phantom Planet: Part 2

Sam: Previously on Dani Phantom…

Dani and her friends escaped in their Specter Speeder in space with Infimap in their possession after they have retrieved from Vladia Plasmius as she fired ecto beams at her satellite, but accidentally fires her beams at the fuel tanks. She gasped and phased inside to her own speeder.

"Taking my map, destroying my satellite, mocking my mental healthy, it's time I finally finish off Dani Phantom, once and for all!" Vladia declared before flying away just as her satellite exploded, and the force sent the giant green asteroid hurtling out the rings of Saturn and it headed straight to Earth.

Ever cheered for the Masters Blasters as Vid showed the projection of Vladia Masters. "As mayor, I've provided city funding for this top notch troop, equipped with the latest teen technology, they're going to stop ghosts and succeed, where Dani Phantom has so obviously failed." She said with a wicked smile.

"Teen ghost fighters?" Sam asked.

"Teen technology?" Tina asked.

"Where Dani Phantom has so obviously failed?" Dani then asked as she frowned.

"My plan is very simple: out with the old and in with the new...and the old should give up now if she knows what's good for her." Vladia Masters said as Dani glared at her angrily.

"There's not a ghost anywhere that can stand up to Dani Phantom!" Dani fired a ghost ray at a parade balloon, and sent it almost crushing Sam and Tina until the Master Blasters saved them just in time.

Vladia grinned sickly at Dani as she glared angrily back at her.

Dani then walked in front of the inactive Fenton Portal in her parent's lab. "This thing gave me my powers...I wonder if it could-" She muttered.

"Dani, what are you thinking?" James asked his sister.

"Name one good reason why I should keep my powers?"

"Dani, think of all the good you've done, in our doing!" Sam tried to reason. "If you took your powers away now-"

They hear screaming from upstairs as the Masters Blasters pinned and electrocuted Jackie and Matt Fenton. "By order of the mayor, you're both under arrest for harboring a ghost." Download said to them.

Dani ran down to the lab and changed to her ghost form as she began to activate the portal. "I can't catch ghosts anymore, almost hurt my friends, and now my parents are arrested because of me?" She said before stepping into the portal.

"Dani, don't do this! This isn't the way!" James exclaimed.

"You're a heroine, Dani! We can talk about this." Sam said.

Dani shedded a tear with her mind made up. "Sorry, guys." She said before pressing the ON button. The portal turned on as it electrocuted Dani and began removing her ghost powers as her friends and brother all watched in horror.

"Dani Phantom's not needed anymore. From now on, Dani Fenton is just a nice normal girl from a nice normal family." She said to James, her hair now has strands of white hair.

"Dani, don't you get it? Your powers gave you a chance to change things, a chance that no one else had, and you don't really seem to care about what you just gave up." Sam said to Dani. "When you had your powers, I knew this town was protected from evil, but now…who knows where we're heading?" He looked at the Masters Blasters receiving money from a citizen when they were forced to pay fees. "I'll always be your friend, Dani, but I can't just live life just sitting on the sidelines; I'm surprised to think that you can."

Dani stepped into the now-wrecked Fenton Portal. "I'm going ghost!" She cried, but nothing happened, making her regretful about her choice.

"Our stellar readings indicate that a massive asteroid is hurtling across the solar system." A man in the observatory said on the news. "If immediate action is not taken, our entire planet will be completely destroyed. One week, use it wisely."

The Fentons exchanged worried looks as Dani gasped in fear, wishing she was still Dani Phantom, because the world now needed her again, now more than ever.

Theme Song:

(She's a phantom)

(Dani Phantom, Phantom, Phantom)

Yo, Dani Fenton, she was just fourteen
When her parents built a very strange machine
Designed to view a world unseen

(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)

When it didn't work, her folks, they just quit
Then Dani took a look inside of it
There was a great, big flash, and everything changed
Her molecules got all rearranged

(Phantom, Phantom)

When she first woke up, she realized she had snow white hair, and glowing green eyes
She could walk through walls, disappear, and fly
She was much more unique than the other gals
And it was then that she knew what she had to do
She had to stop all the ghost that were coming through
She's there to fight, for me and you!

(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)
(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)
(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)

All around the world, all of the humans in every single country were screaming to the top of their lungs and running around their streets when they heard about the apocalyptic news about this massive asteroid that was about to collide with Earth in only one week. "As news of the approaching asteroid, which are some now calling the 'Disasteroid', suppulates around the globe, countries are combining their greatest technology to stop the oncoming threat." Shelly Makamoto announced. Citizens cheered as they fired their missiles into space as they watch them as they exploded on the Disasteroid, making them cheer when they thought they have done it, until they saw that it was completely unharmed and it continued its way to Earth. Everyone then despaired once again when they realized it was completely indestructible to their technologies. "Sadly, it appears that our best may not be good enough. And speaking of no good enough, let's go live to Fenton Works." Shelly said happily.

At the Fenton Works lab, the Fentons (along with Vladia's help) have all began a privately funded mission when Vladia paid for the construction of the Fenton Rocket, which Jackie and Matt designed themselves. Dani, James, and Matt were all by a TV console with Vladia also present and Lance Thunder as well. Jackie was currently in the rocket with the Masters Blasters as they made their way to the asteroid to stop it with specialized drill missiles she has invented.

"Thanks, Shelly, I'm here ringside, where a privately funded to stop the Disasteroid is underway." He announced to the camera.

"I can't believe I'm just sitting here in a computer console when I should be out there stopping this." Dani muttered to James, before glancing at Vladia, who was leaning against the console while rubbing her fingers to her jacket, and she became even more annoyed. "And I really can't believe we have to do this with her."

"We never would've been able to get this mission up and running so fast if she hadn't paid for everything. So at least until the world is safe, chill!" James said quietly and sternly to his little sister before he crossed his arms.

Lance then leaned close to Dani. "How's it going, young lady?" He asked as he held his microphone to her.

"Uh…" She stuttered nervously and saw the cameraman giving her a thumbs up, telling her it was okay. "My mom, Jackie Fenton, is piloting our new-"

"My new!" Vladia cutted in and she raised in index finger in the air as she smiled.

Dani glared at her archenemy as she bared her teeth, trying to hold back her anger. "Fenton Rocket! And is on her way to destroy the asteroid." Everyone then looked up at the screens where a very serious and determined Jackie was making her way towards the Disasteroid, in her Fenton astronaut suit, in the Fenton Rocket with the Masters Blasters in the cockpit with her.

"She looks very serious about her mission." Lance said when he noticed her expression on her face.

"You'd be serious, too, if you had to eat this freaky astronaut food." Jackie said as she held up a sack of astronaut food that she apparently hated. "Freeze-dried yame smelt surprise. What the heck is that?!" She slammed her food packet on the floor in frustration.

Lance then turned his attention to Vladia. "With me now is Amity Park's mayor, Vladia Masters. I understand you've sent in your own team of experts."

"Oh yes, seeing as the world is in jeopardy, I felt that the Masters Blasters presence was an absolute necessity." Vladia said before she held up some of her team's action figure dolls like she was just showing off them off. "Plus, think of how well their action figures will sell."

"Mom, mission status?" Dani asked her mother.

"Readying cyber drill charges." Jackie answered before pressing a button. "Fire!"

Two large drill-like missiles shot out of the Fenton Rocket and drilled their way into the Disasteroid. "Detonation in three...two...ONE!"

KABOOM! Everyone watched the Disasteroid explode into millions of pieces. They began began to cheer both in the rocket and in the lab at their successful mission.

"Yes! I knew we could do it! There isn't a rock anywhere that can outsmart Jackie Fenton." Jackie said, until she gasped in shock and surprise when she saw a shadow looming over their rocket as the real Disasteroid was still intact and continued it's way to Earth.

"That's the Disasteroid! You had us blow up the wrong one, you idiot!" Download snapped angrily as pointed at her while he and his teammates all glared at the supposingly idiotic obese ghost huntress.

Jackie, however, looked genuinely and completely stunned as she blinked in shock and confusion at the same time. "But I-I couldn't have! Vladia punched in the asteroid's coordinates for me!" But the Masters Blasters didn't seem to listen nor believe her as they began to gang up on her and beated her up for her biggest 'mistake' she has ever done.

Back in the lab, everyone except Vladia all looked down hopelessly at what happened in space. Vladia only continued to smirk while everyone else bowed their heads gravely in despair. "That...that was our last chance." Matt groaned, sounding completely hopeless.

Matt then left the lab while hugging James close to him and so did Lance Thunder and his camera crew, leaving Dani alone with Vladia. She turned around and was about to leave with her family as well, until she accidentally bumped into Vladia. "Oops! Looks like I set the wrong coordinates, silly me." Vladia said in a fake concern as she grinned down at the former half-ghost girl. "You know how bad I can be with computers."

"Oh, bite that innocent coincidence back in your tongue, Plasmius, I know you did that on purpose!" Dani said as she glared at the villainess woman and walked away a few feet before stopping with her back turned to her.

"Perhaps, but it seems that your mother has failed once again, Danielle." Dani cocked an offended eyebrow when Vladia said that since she was the one who purposely made Jackie fail to humiliate her in the first place as the evil woman continued to grin wickedly. "And at a time where the world needs a heroine the most."

Dani growled angrily before she turned harshly back at her cold-hearted archenemy. "At least she tried, Vladia, and I'm so sick and tired of playing your fun little games! You know, from the first time I even met you, I tried to believe in what my mother believed about you, but I've learned the truth from that day on, from trying to kill my mother, hook up with my father, spying on me, using Vincent, to trying to destroy all of my friends and family: you're nothing but a heartless, lonely fruitloop who cares about nobody about herself, her wealth, and power. You just only see people as just your little pawns in your game of chess. You once said all you ever wanted was love and family, and I know you hate my mom because of that, but between the two of us, you and I have very different views of love and family!" Dani then crossed her arms as she continued glaring at the villainess woman. "Last thing, Plasmius, what have you ever done except send others to do your work for you?"

Vladia's smile never dropped as Dani spoke her little philosophical pep talk about herself before she pointed her finger at the girl. "And where are you, Dani Phantom? Looks like my plan to shame you into hiding was even more effective than I could've hoped."

Dani and Vladia both got to their faces and growled aggressively at each other. Dani then reached into the back of her pocket and pulled out her Boo-staff and activated it; she may not have her ghost powers anymore, but that didn't mean she was no longer an expert staffswoman. She spun her staff expertly and tried to swing it as she shouted angrily, but Vladia merely leaned away as she tried to swing at her again and even tried to swing-kick in the air as Vladia ducked until she grabbed onto her staff when Dani swung at her again, making her gasp and her eyes went wide before Vladia pulled her in front of the consoles as she tripped to the floor on her stomach with a grunt.

"I'm just getting word that scientists now know, the Disasteroid originated from the rings of Saturn two weeks ago." Shelly announced on TV.

Dani perked up in surprise when she heard this, making her memories of the past flash back inside her mind as she narrowed her eyes like her suspicions were proven correct. "Wait a minute, Saturn? Your satellite exploded, that's what moved the asteroid!" Dani said out loud as she turned angrily to the mayor and realized that Vladia was the one who was responsible for putting the entire planet in danger while she pointed directly at her accusingly. "You were the one who caused this catastrophe!"

Vladia only remained silent and continued to grin widely as she transformed to her ghost form. Dani gasped as her eyes went wide in surprise, but before she could even defend herself, Vladia grabbed her by her throat and held her close to her face. "Defeating you was just the first act of my little show, my dear. Get ready for Act II!" She said out loud before she roughly threw Dani into the ruined Fenton Ghost Portal. She laughed evilly before she phased out of the lab to begin this 'next phase' of her plan.

Dani groaned in pain as she drifted to unconsciousness with her Boo-staff in her hand.

The next day early in the morning, Vladia has called the entire town meeting as the members of the United Nations were also present to hear what she has to say to all of them. Live national cameras showed her standing at the podium with the Masters Blasters behind her. Jackie had a black eye and a fractured arm from all the beatings the Masters Blasters did to her back in space for her idiotic mind.

"Remind me again, why are we here?" Sam asked Dani.

"Because we've got to see what Vladia's up to. She says she has news that will impact the entire world." Dani said as she glanced out to her archenemy.

"Citizens of the Earth, I have news that will impact the entire world!" Vladia began to announce as everyone around the world listened to her every words at cities, homes with families, and even through the medias. "Though every attempt in destroying the Disasteroid has failed, I come to you today offering an alternative solution..." The woman grinned sinisterly to herself like it was time to put her granddaddy of all master plans into action. "One that I think you will find most surprising!"

Vladia smiled and suddenly climbed on top of her own podium as she finished speaking, much to the Masters Blasters' confusions, before she jumped into the air while the crowd looked up at her in awe as they watched her hovering in the air like she was flying by herself, but none of the citizens in the world were prepared for what came next for them. The evil woman smirked evilly at them as she then transformed into her ghost form and intentionally revealed her biggest secret to the entire globe: that she was half-ghost. Vladia cackled evilly into the heavens at their surprised faces while they all gasped and cried out in shock at what this woman just did before their very eyes.

"Oh no!" Dani said with wide eyes, thinking that her archenemy might reveal her secret next.

"I did not see that coming." Jackie said with wide eyes as she stared up at her old college friend and witnessed what she just did right in front of them.

The Masters Blasters then all glared angrily at their former employer for her deception as they were about to attack and capture her, but Vladia merely duplicated herself two times and blasted at them dead on with her ecto blasts, taking them all down as they all shouted and fell unconscious, now that Vladia had no further use for those ametaur teenage ghost hunters anymore after they have successfully shamed the old ghost heroine into hiding, just as she hoped for. And now since Dani Phantom was finally out of her picture, she believed that nobody could stop her now.

Vladia then merged herself back into one before she flew in front of City Hall while she looked down evilly at the innocent citizens and their leaders she believed she was much more superior than as she hovered right above them. "Yes, though I used my human half to walk among you, it's obvious I am a far superior creature." She said to everyone with her sickening and wicked grin.

"Who are you?!" Shelly asked with stunned wide eyes as she held out her microphone.

"Though the world has come to know me as Vladia Masters, billionairess mayor of Amity Park...I prefer you call me by my chosen, slightly more evil name, Vladia Plasmius!" The evil half-ghost villainess woman said her alter ego name like it was supposed to strike fear into their hearts, and in a way, it was sort of working.

"Vladia's...a g-ghost?!" Matt exclaimed in complete shock as he backed away a little, looking absolutely overwhelmed with disbelief that his former college friend was in fact an actual ghost.

Vladia placed her hands on her hips as she began her little selfish exchange for the entire world. "I have a proposition for you: the nations of the world must agree unanimously to pay me five hundred billion dollars and make me absolute ruler. In return, I shall use my ghost powers-"

"To destroy the Disasteroid?" A random reporter asked her.

"No, to turn it intangible."

"Evil, but ingenious." Matt admitted to Jackie as he turned to her. "That way it'll just pass harmlessly through the Earth." His smile then faded as his former college friend continued.

"It's your choice, world. Be destroyed or be saved...oh, and ruled by me. I eagerly await your decision!" With that happy note, Vladia laughed evilly to the heavens before she disappeared without a trace, leaving the world to chose two very catastrophic and disastrous choices: to either have Vladia Plasmius leave the innocent people to die and allow the asteroid to destroy their entire world, or agree on the villainess half-ghost woman's terms and allow her to save them while she gets to rule the world with an iron fist, making everyone suffer under her 'superior' shadow. Nobody knew what she had planned for everyone if she became their queen, but they knew it wouldn't be good either way, especially for their own children and Vladia hated kids and teenagers for their constant meddlings and rebellions.

"What happens now?" James asked his sister and her friends with stunned wide eyes after he saw what he just witnessed Vladia do in front of everyone.

"Looks like we either change the name of the Earth to Vladiacopolis, or I somehow figure a way out of this mess." Dani replied as she began thinking to herself.

Later on that afternoon in the same day, the whole world knew that they had no other choice as all of the nations of the world had to agree on Vladia's evil terms, as long as she did manage to save the Earth with her plan that actually sounded a little too good to be true, for her anyway. At the sight of the Fenton Rocket, a member of the United Nations handed Vladia (who was still in her ghost form) the contract, agreeing unwillingly to hand the villainess half-ghost woman five hundred billion dollars and total world supremacy, as long as she did manage complete her plan and it would go accordingly to it. She continued to grin widely as she signed her alter ego name on the contract. Vladia was completely satisfied that everything was going her way and that her goal for world domination almost came into completion.

"And that concludes Act II of what I like to call 'One Nation under Vladia'." Vladia said before she vaporized her pen and held up her contract. "Onto the finale!"

Jackie and Vladia sat in the rocket in their astronaut uniforms as everyone watched them blast off into space and made their way off to the Disasteroid. Jackie continued looking sadly at whom she thought was her best friend from college along the way. She believed that after twenty years of not speaking to each other all those years ago, Vladia would have finally forgiven her and was willing to forget the past, but after witnessing what she just did today, she felt her entire world turn upside down when Vladia exposed herself to the world and that she intentionally threatened the whole planet selfishly for her own personal pleasure.

"How could you hold the world hostage like that, Vladia, and after all the good fortune you've had in your life?" Jackie asked as she looked down with genuine hurt in her eyes.

"GOOD FORTUNE?!" Vladia snapped harshly as she glared angrily at Jackie, knowing this was the perfect time to back talk at Jackie for 'humiliating' her all those years ago like how she has been holding in her anger and hate since the college reunion. "You infect me with ghost DNA then steal the love of my life, and you call that 'good fortune'?!"

"I infected you? You mean…" Jackie began to remember the day of Vladia's proto portal accident back during their college days that hospitalized her for years and devastated her entire social life. She also realized that it was during that time that turned her former friend into the monster she was to this day.

Vladia stood up to her feet as she continued glaring at the obese ghost huntress she believed was an idiot for years. "Yes, FOOL! It was your bumbling that made me what I am today!" Jackie blinked at her in stunned silence until Vladia then calmed down and grinned as they approached the Disasteroid. "But...I suppose I should be saying thank you, for without you and your dimwitted family, I wouldn't be moments away from becoming ruler of the Earth." She spoke as she began walking towards the door.

Jackie looked offended when she basically just insulted her entire family as she narrowed her eyes. "Nobody calls my family dimwitted, and I've never meant to hurt you, what happened was an accident!" Jackie pleaded as she tried to reach into her old friend while Vladia turned around with a blank and unfazed look on her face. Jackie lifted up her face shield as she stood up to her feet, trying to look genuinely understanding about Vladia's evil contempts. "I'm your friend, Vladia, I've always been your friend. I even voted for ya!"

Vladia, however, smirked at the 'idiotic' obese ghost huntress with her signature sickening grin. "I'll remember that when I steal Matthew from you and make him my king." She said coldly to Jackie, denying and intentionally unaccepting her former college friend's pleas and apologies before she laughed evilly as the doors closed in front of her.

Jackie turned away and cringed as her hurt rapidly turned to anger and realization. She finally realized that the Vladia Masters she once knew was long gone, and has been replaced by an evil half-ghost as the billionairess woman allowed her powers to turn her into the monster she was always destined to be. Calling her and her entire family 'dimwitted', wanting to steal her husband away as her own (when ironically Vladia believed that Jackie was the one who stole the love of her life), and all this entire time Vladia has been trying to kill her all along so she could take away everything she loved and cared about, despite Jackie being absolutely nothing but loyal and supportive to her. When Jackie thought that she could never admit the fact nor believe it, she knew that it was the absolute truth: Vladia has intentionally betrayed everyone she knew and cared about in the past, especially the people she was closest to. Jackie deeply in her heart began taking everything good she said about Vladia for a year in a half back and knew that she was now nothing but a heartless monster she despised, a ghost.

Vladia flew out of the rocket and into space, still wearing her sickening grin, before she turned on her wrist watch as a mini Matt hologram appeared. "Asteroid contact in five hundred meters, o future ruler of the Earth." It said.

Vladia floated above the Disasteroid and held out her hands with a look of anticipation, ready to turn it intangible and allow it to phase through the Earth so she can finally rule the world in her own terms and with her own iron fist. However, the second Vladia placed her palms on the green surface, it suddenly began to shock her as she screamed in agony.

"NO! NO! NO!" She immediately got shot away from the asteroid's surface like it was not allowing her to turn it intangible at all. "What is the meaning of this?!" She demanded angrily to her mini Matt hologram.

"Asteroid composed entirely of unique anti-ghost element: Ectoranium. Ectoranium. Ectoranium." It said.

"Ectoranium?!" Vladia's eyes went wide while she made a look of shock, disbelief, and realization as her hologram powered down and she looked down at the Earth when she realized her biggest mistake she has ever made in her entire life. "That means I can never touch it...NO GHOST CAN! That means, the Earth is doomed! And even if it wasn't, I could never go back! I've revealed my true self! I'll be forever hunted!" Vladia then turned her attention to the Fenton Rocket and saw Jackie Fenton glaring at her in disdain and disgust with her arms crossed after she saw the whole thing, not to mention she was completely offended when her former college friend insulted her and her entire family coldly like that. Vladia then tried to plead her old friend to allow her back on aboard the spaceship to return home. "Jackie, you have to help me! You wouldn't turn your back on an old friend, would you?"

"An old friend? No. You? Yes!" Jackie said offendedly with an angry/hurt tone in her voice before she slammed her palm on a button and blasted away in her Fenton Rocket to return home, leaving Vladia behind to rot in space so she could be punished to be all alone like Jackie should have done a year in a half ago since the college reunion, while she destroyed her former college friend's last connection to Earth.

"JACKIE!" Vladia turned back to Earth and made a look of depression when she realized she could never return home and she has realized she has truly been defeated. All those times Dani foiled her plans for a year in a half, and after shaming her into hiding as made her thought she could finally get what she wanted, but now she has lost everything she has stolen in the past and recent. Her wealth, her power, her businesses, her chances, every one of her homes and merchandises she owned on Earth...everything she had was all completely gone. Dani has finally won their game of chess.

Back in the Fenton Works lab, Dani, Sam, Tina, and James all watched the whole thing on the TV space consoles as they witnessed Vladia Plasmius flying off into space alone to wander the universe for all eternity in isolation like she deserved. Although Team Phantom should have been celebrating that Vladia has finally been defeated once and for all and that they no longer had to worry about her taking over the world anymore, the fact that the Ectoranium that was coated in the Disasteroid kept her from turning it intangible and now they had to come up with a new plan to save the Earth.

"What are we gonna do?" Tina asked urgently.

Dani began thinking deeply until something clicked in her mind as she looked at her friends and brother with an eyebrow cocked. "What if we didn't make the asteroid intangible?"

Sam, Tina, and James stared at her, wondering what was in her mind. "Then it would obliterate the Earth."

Dani smiled confidently. "Not if we made the Earth intangible!"

"The whole Earth? Intangible? Are you kidding?!" Sam asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, you need like...a bazillion ghosts to do that." Tina pointed out.

Dani smiled even more before pulling out the Infimap. "Behold, the addresses of a bazillion ghosts!"

Sam smiled excitedly as he stood from his seat, realizing that Dani was back into her old self, despite being human again. "Now that's the Dani I know!" He exclaimed before he grinned and crossed his arms. "So much for sitting on the sidelines, huh?"

"But how are we gonna get into the Ghost Zone?" Tina asked her. "Your portal's ruined and we're never gonna get near Vladia's place, now that everyone knows who she really is." Tina and the others knew without a doubt that everyone in the country would be inspecting all of her homes she owned to either search for a secret ghost lab, take back all the money they believed she stole (and in a way, they would be right), and find some accomplices who have been assisting the evil half-ghost woman and search to see if she was involved in any of the ghost attacks plaguing Amity Park, now that they knew what Vladia really was.

"I got that covered, come on!" Dani said before running out of the lab. Her friends and brother followed her outside to the Specter Speeder as Sam drove it into the air while Dani opened the Infimap. "The Infimap can lead us to any natural entrance into the Ghost Zone anywhere on the Earth, and according to the map, one's about to open right here!"

They stopped at a Nasty Burger billboard as a natural portal opened at the mouth. "Now I know how my chilly fries feel!" Tina exclaimed as they flew into the portal and entered into the Ghost Zone.

James looked at the Ghost Zone in awe and surprise. "I-I don't believe!" He said in amazement.

"Believe it, James, welcome to the Ghost Zone. Sort of a Ghosts R Us." Dani said.

"But the shelves are empty." Sam noticed as he continued to drive deeper into the Ghost Zone.

"Where the heck is everybody?" Tina asked.

And then someone suddenly blasted at the Specter Speeder, sending it flying backwards as the four teens screamed and held on for dear life as their vehicle landed inside a giant blue energy box. "What's going on?!" James exclaimed in fear.

"Foolish of you to come here in your human form, ghost child!" They looked up and saw Skulker glaring at them with his fists on his sides like Team Phantom were the real enemies. "Seeking refuge in the Ghost Zone like all the others?"

"What others?" Dani asked in confusion.

"All these ghosts." He gestured to some of the ghosts floating behind him. "They've returned here because you humans put your world in danger, and now the Ghost Zone is bursting at the seams!"

"But it's the flipside of our world. If the Earth gets destroyed, the Ghost Zone goes, too!" Tina pointed out.

That only made Skulker even angrier as he pushed a button on his belt and caused the box to send a painful vibration on them. The screamed in pain until Dani quickly pushed a button on the controls and sent a ray out to destroy the box. With the Speeder now free, Sam floored on the pedals and flew the vehicle at full speed. Skulker and the other ghost began chasing after them in pursuit, hoping they would either finally get their revenge on Dani for either her past defeats now that she was powerless or blaming her for putting the Earth and the Ghost Zone in danger.

"You guys get into the escape pod!" Dani told her friends and brother.

"But Dani…" Sam began to protest in concern.

"I'll be fine, Sam. Now, go!"

James, Sam, and Tina all climbed into the escape pod as Dani took the tiller and pushed the release button for the escape pod. It flew straight out of the Specter Speeder as she continued to fly ahead in hopes of luring Skulker and the ghosts away from her friends and brother. "Activating clocking." Tina said as she pressed a button.

The entire pod became completely invisible as Skulker and the ghosts flew right past them, without even noticing them. After the cloaking deactivated on the pod, the three of them then looked out the window to make sure Dani would be okay. Dani continued flying at full speed until she gasped and crashed into the Behemoth's stomach, who was floating in front of her. It roared in anger as Dani gasped that Skulker and the ghosts have finally caught up to her.

"It's not enough you destroy your own world, now you have to destroy ours, too?!" Skulker exclaimed in anger as he prepared his wrist gun.

"Wait! You don't under-" Dani tried to reason.

"FIRE!" Skulker blasted at her with his gun.

Then, all the other ghosts followed his example as they fired their own ghost beams at Dani, as she covered her eyes from the light and shrieked to the top of her lungs as the entire ship blew up and the beams continuously blasted at her dead on. Dani continued to cringe in pain as she kept thinking that this would be the end for her. However, what she didn't know, was that inside her body, the ectoplasmic beams began to merge with her DNA as her molecules began rearranging once again. Dani fell into unconsciousness as she felt the changes in her body. The white strands left on her hair began expanding throughout her hair, turning it completely white, and her eyes clenched tightly as her eyes narrowed before she shot them open when they glowed solid green, and then suddenly in a bright flash of light, Dani Fenton was no longer floating, but it was the one and only Dani Phantom! Her powers have finally returned and she was half-ghost once again! She glared angrily at all of the ghosts, who were now looking scared and shocked when they were totally unexpecting that.

"You've just made...a big mistake." Dani said dangerously calm to them before she smirked at all of the ghosts. "Well, boys, there's good news and bad news. The good news: my powers are back. Bad news…" She glared angrily at them again. "MY POWERS ARE BACK!"

She then took a deep breath and unleashed her ghostly wail, sending all of the ghosts flying away across the Ghost Zone, and she stopped her power. And for once, she did not change back into her human form. Her powers have been growing stronger in the last year she had them. Dani smiled when she saw Sam, Tina, and James cheering for her from inside the escape pod, happy that Dani's powers have finally returned.

"Dani, it's you!" Sam said, before blushing a little. "Well, it was always you, but…"

"I know what you mean, Sam. Thanks." Dani said as she flew up to them.

"Those ghosts are gonna come back, and something tells me they're not going to be too happy about helping us." James said with a worried and knowing look on his face.

Dani turned serious again as she narrowed her eyes in agreement with her brother. "You're right, we better get out of here until we got this thing figured out." She began pushing the escape pod with her.

"If we went into the billboard's mouth, I don't wanna know where we're coming out!" Tina exclaimed.

The next day, Dani arranged another nationwide town meeting in Amity Park. The citizens were kind of surprised that their old teen ghost heroine has unexpectedly returned after two weeks of an inexplicable absence, but all they knew was that they needed their ghost heroine once again, now that Masters Blasters has been disbanded after their former employer, Vladia, threatened the entire world when she exposed herself like that, and their world was still in catastrophic danger.

"Dani Phantom is back." Lance Thunder announced to the camera in front of City Hall. "After a strange absence, the teen ghost fighter has returned with a message for the world."

Dani walked up to the podium in her ghost form, ready to tell everyone in the entire globe her grand plan. "Uh, hello there. I have a plan that could save us all from the asteroid, and this one is absolutely free! How great is that?" She said with a hopeful smile.

"If ghosts can't touch the asteroid, then how are you gonna stop it?" A woman asked her skeptically.

"Because we're not gonna turn the asteroid intangible...we're gonna turn the Earth intangible."

The crowd gasped in amazement as Dani sided aside for Tina as she walked up and placed her laptop on the podium before she cleared her throat. "Ladies, gentlemen, various nations and stuff. My name is Tina Foley, and I am a techno-geek." She announced.

"Hi, Tina!" A crowd of nerd girls exclaimed.

Tina merely held out her hand. "Girls." She pressed a key on her laptop, which activated a large screen for the crowd to see what their master plan was. "The new plan is very simple, with a strong enough ghostly power source and a big enough transfer device, we can send the ghosts' intangibility across the entire planet! This way, the asteroid will pass harmlessly through it."

"That's the plan. Who's with us?" Dani said.

At first, all of them were in doubt about this very complicated and dangerous plan, but then Jackie and Matt managed a smile and began to clap slowly. Then, Mr. Lancer joined, so did Daphne Baxter, and then the Mansons and the Foleys and pretty soon everyone else cheered loudly in support for their new plan to save their world.

"They never put that much effort into their school work." Lancer muttered under his breath.

At Antarctica, Dani began telling everyone who was present her plan and their positions when they were ready to begin their work.

"Tina Foley will lead the construction team in building the transfer device, while Matt and Jackie's team will spread the transfer cables across the globe, and I'll go into the Ghost Zone and gather enough ghostly power to power up the device. If we all come together, not as separate nations, but as one world, we can do this." Dani said on a camera, and the United Nations cheered at her speech.

Over the next few days, everyone was extremely busy at the South Pole, putting the transfer device together and placing the cables across the Earth. Finally, the construction team have finally finished completing their transfer device for the ghosts, while Jackie and Matt's team have finished placing the cables around the entire world and were currently making their way back to Antarctica to complete their next phase.

"Not bad, huh?" Sam said in his winter garments as he stood next to James and Dani. "Now all we need is a massive ghost power source. You sure you don't want us to go with you?"

"I'm sure, I can move faster on my own." Dani said, looking at the Fenton Jet and then back at her gothic friend and brother before she placed her hands on her hips. "By the way, where do Mom and Dad think Dani Fenton is right now, anyway?"

"With them, I redressed the TinBot 9000 to make it look and act like you. Trust me, they'll never know the difference." James said as he crossed his arms and smiled cleverly.

Meanwhile as Matt flew beside his wife in their individual helicopters as they made their way back to Antarctica, Jackie looked at the TinBot 9000 Dani once brought when they became rich before, but was redesigned to look like Dani Fenton.

"Nothing like saving the world with your old woman, eh Dani?" Jackie asked her 'daughter'.

"Comment does not comput." TinBot said in a robotic voice.

As usual, Jackie was too clueless to realize it was actually a robot as she shedded a few tears. "You're voice is changing already? Man, they grow up so fast."

Back at the South Pole, Dani pulled out the Infimap and opened it before she examined it. "Gotta go. According to the map, a portal's gonna open up over the pole any minute now." She said as she looked around at the sky.

James then embraced his sister in a big hug. "See you back here soon, little sister...and thanks." He said while smiling warmly before he walked away.

Sam then walked up to her as he remained silent and still. Dani then reached for something in her jumpsuit as she pulled it out and held out Sam's hand as she placed something on it. When she removed her hand, it was a familiar-looking class ring with a pearl. He looked back up at his ghost friend in confusion.

"It's the ring you were gonna give that Gabri girl; you've asked me to hold it, remember?" Dani reminded her friend as she looked back up to him again. "Something tells me it was really meant for me." Dani then flipped the ring that was supposingly engraved as '!ueD', but when she flipped it, it was actually engraved in her own name, 'Dani'. "Keep it with you, but promise me you'll keep it safe until I get back. If you promise, then...then I know I'll see you again." As she spoke, she closed his hand around the ring and glanced down at the snow.

"I-If we make it through this..." Sam began to tell her.

"When we make it through this."

"Right. When we make it through this, I-I have a few things I need to talk to you about."

Dani managed a small smile. "I think I'll be willing to listen...for once."

Sam smiled weakly and made a small hum in his throat like a tiny chuckle, before he looked down at the snow. "And no matter how this thing ends, this whole ride we've been on together this past year...I wouldn't change it for the world." He then took Dani's hands as he began speaking more softly. "Not one bit."

Dani placed her hands on his shoulders. "Me neither. I..." Dani faltered while she clenched her her eyes shut tightly before she reluctantly kissed her gothic friend on his cheek, surprising him a little when his eyes went wide, and she looked down at the snow.

Sam and Dani then looked back at each other and stared into their eyes deeply...and then they finally passionately kissed each other on the lips. Dani slid her hands on his chest and held her heel up as she felt her whole world spinning around, and she also felt like sparks were flying in her mind and she never wanting to leave that moment. Dani and Sam finally released their lips before they touched their foreheads with each other and looked at each other's eyes once again.

"Wow, remind me to save the world more often." Dani chuckled with a smile.

"Go save the world, Dani Phantom." Sam said with a warm smile.

Dani then flew off to the Fenton Jet and phased into the cockpit. She looked up at the sky and saw a natural ghost portal open. "Right on cue." She began pressing buttons to power up the jet. "Atomic batteries to power, turbines to speed."

The Fenton Jet took off from the snow as Dani looked back through her window and stared at Sam one last time as he waved her good luck. Dani gave him a small smile before she flew the jet straight into the Ghost Zone to begin her mission to collect as many ghosts as she could find.

"One ghost power source coming up!" Dani said as she glanced down at her map and at another portal to a ghost's home. She pressed a button and activated the ghost net as she flew into the portal and back out with a ghost iguana. "Okay, one down, ninety-six bazillion to go."

Dani continued flying through portals and captured as many ghosts as she could find. But for her allies, she didn't have to capture them, like Pandora, Frostbite, Clockwork, and Wulf were all more than happy to help her save both sides of the world. Even Danny was in the Ghost Zone and he was more than happy to help out his cousin. The ghost net became full as Dani then flew the jet back to the natural Antarctica portal after she collected enough ghosts for the transfer device.

"Awesome! I think this is gonna work!" Dani said, until something suddenly blasted at one of the jet's wings and then at the net, ripping it off the jet. She looked back at her window in surprise. "What in the-?"

"Auto-eject." The jet said.

"What?" Her chair suddenly ejected itself out of the jet as Dani yelped in surprise and she phased out of her seat.

She watched the jet flying towards the portal and looked back at the ghosts, who were now free from the net as they laughed and moaned. As it turned out, Skulker was the one who set them free as he blew the smoke out of his wrist gun and glared offendedly at the ghost girl.

"We warned you once, ghost brat." He said.

Dani gaped in awe at all of the ghosts she once defeated in the past, familiar and unfamiliar to her, circling and surrounding around her. They all began ganging up on her for both their past defeats with her and for trapping her in a net and forcing them to help her against their will.

"Wait! Let me explain!" Dani said as she tried to reason with all of her ghostly enemies, while she tried to float away from the ghosts trying to grab her and then hovered to the center. "Our worlds are linked! If mine goes, yours goes, too! I have a plan!"

Skulker didn't seem to listen to the ghost girl since he only fired his gun at her and blasted at her as he sent her flying straight into Vortex. He smirked as he held her by her head and electrocuted her a bit, making her shout in agony before he released her as her suit was already torn and she held her stomach and tried to ignore the pain as more ghosts gathered around her, ready to give the young half-ghost girl some more payback for her previous victories over them.

"Look! I know you hate my world and wouldn't lift a finger to help it, but I thought you might care about saving your own!" Dani exclaimed as she scowled at all of them. The ghosts still didn't listen as they only continued to tower over her as they growled.

Back at Antarctica, Jackie, Matt, and their team have finally arrived back as everyone went into their watch tower as Tina anxiously looked at her Ghost Zone ecto-radar scanner to make sure Dani was successful.

Tina smiled when she saw a tracker of the jet beeping. "She's coming back!" She exclaimed.

Everyone gathered at the windows to watch. The Fenton Jet came flying through the portal, which caused them all to cheer, but they all stopped when it suddenly went crashing into the icy glaciers, causing everyone to gasp in complete shock.

Sam rushed up to the windows with a horrified look on his face. "Dani! NO!" He said despairingly as he looked at the class ring he promised her he'd keep safe when he was on a brink of tears and looked out the window again. "S-she can't be!"

The radar beeped. "IT'S COMING!" Tina shouted out loud. The Disasteroid covered the entire sun and sent them into darkness, and everyone began to lose all hope that they would ever save their home, now they were getting closer to being wiped out of existence along with the Ghost Zone.

Jackie hugged her husband and son. "Listen, I just want you all to know I love you...and I'm so proud of each and every one of you for trying your best." She said as she began to cry for the lose of her family and home.

"We love you, too, Mom." James said as his eyes watered.

"At least we're all here together." Matt said, until James began to cry.

"Oh, Dad! There's something you need to know."

Matt looked at the robot and removed the wig and he gasped in shock when he realized it was just a robot disguised as his youngest daughter. "A robot?! Where's Danielle? Jameson, where's your sister?" James gestured his face to the spot where the Fenton Jet crashed into, and he gasped again when he realized what his son was talking about. "Jackie, where's Dani?!"

"LOOK, THE PORTAL!" Sam exclaimed as he pointed at the natural portal.

Everyone once again gathered around the window as they saw Dani flying through the portal while she and Skulker lead a whole group of ghosts through the portal. Everyone in the tower cheered that their teen ghost heroine was safe and Sam smiled brightly in relief that she was okay as well. Dani smiled with her signature confident smile as she began leading all of the ghosts to the transfer device while they all gathered around it and placed their hands on it, ready to transfer their ghost energy to save both sides of their world.

Dani then flew to Skulker with a look of disbelief. "I still can't believe you guys agreed to help me." She said before smiling gratefully. "I guess there is a heart under all that cyber armor."

"Don't get too sentimental. We're not here to save you, we're here to save us." Skulker said simply.

Dani then smirked, now that everything was all set. "Let's just get this party started!"

All of the humans inside the watch tower immediately went to work as they sat at their respective computers, including Tina. The screen showed that the Disasteroid was getting even closer and closer to Earth and knew that they were running out of time. Jackie signaled to Vincent to type in the codes before he typed them in and then he signaled Tina to start up the machine. The ghosts outside, including Dani Phantom herself, then unleashed all of their ecto-energy into the device, getting it all powered up and sending most of their energy through the transfer cables. With the device charging up, the ghosts waited while they prepared to pull off their biggest intangibility attempt ever as the transfer device shook and trembled from the ghosts' ecto-energies.

"TINA! HOW...MUCH...LONGER?!" Dani strained through her Fenton Phone as she used most of her energy on the device.

The Disasteroid began to break into the Earth's atmosphere as Tina watched it on her screen. "NOW!" She exclaimed through her earphone.

With that cue, all the ghosts immediately began activating their intangibility power onto the device, which were all sent straight into the transfer cables as all of the ghosts turned the entire Earth intangible. Just when the humongous asteroid was about to slam right onto the Earth to obliterate it, the mountains became intangible just as the Disasteroid began phasing harmlessly straight through the entire planet. Tina watched the screen while she prayed to herself that the ghosts could hold on just a little longer. The ghosts all began to grow weaker and more worned out, but they didn't give up as they continued holding their intangibility power while they either strained, shouted, and/or grunted.

"WHERE'S THE ASTEROID?!" Dani exclaimed as she continued putting all of her ecto-energy onto the device.

The Disasteroid then suddenly burst through the ground of Antarctica before it flew back into space. The ghosts and humans have done it: the Earth and the Ghost Zone were both finally saved from an apocalyptic destruction. Everyone gave each other hugs and made sighs of relief that their plan has actually worked. Sam and James hugged each other while Tina leaned against her seat and sighed at the narrowly close call. The ghosts outside smiled in relief as they all dropped their power on the device and the entire world turned solid again before they flew away from the device and descended to the ground.

Everyone ran out of the watch tower to cheer for their heroine as Dani descended onto the ground and smiled brightly until she was suddenly knocked to the snow by Sam, Tina, and James in a huge group hug.

"Awesome!" Sam said after they got off of her.

"Nice job, little sister, or should I say...heroine." James said as he smiled warmly at his heroic and brave little sister.

They all then looked up at Skulker, who had his arms crossed with the other ghosts standing behind him as Dani stood up before them. "I don't know what to say other than thanks, Skulker, to all of you." Dani said to all of the ghosts in gratitude.

Skulker then grabbed her by her jumpsuit. "Don't get too mushy on us, ghost child. Remember, I'll never stop hunting you, and now that you've saved your world...you're a much more valuable prize." He said to her with a wide grin.

He then released her and then gave her one last grin before Dani, Sam, Tina, and James all watched the ghosts then fly back into their home, the Ghost Zone, before the natural portal closed in the sky.

"Nice job, Dani..." Jackie said as she and Matt walked up to her with a frown. "Or should we say…" She then smiled warmly and winked at her as she arm-locked with her husband. "Dani."

Dani's eyes went wide in shock. "What?" She asked in startled until she tried to cover herself up. "Uh, sorry, Jackie Fenton, but I have no idea what you're talking about. You must have me confused with someone else."

Matt then held onto her hand as he smiled warmly. "Is there something you want to tell us?" He asked her calmly.

Dani stared at him in perplexity until James walked up to her. "It's okay, Dani, they know." He said to his little sister with a reassuring smile.

Dani looked back at her parents and then to everyone around her. She then made a brave look when she knew that it was time for everyone to know the truth on why she cared about both the Earth and the Ghost Zone. She then changed back to her human form and showed everyone that Dani Fenton and Dani Phantom are one and the same. Everyone around her at first looked very surprised that she was half-ghost like Vladia, but unlike their reaction with the villainess woman, they immediately began cheering for her instead, including Vincent, for their loyal heroine. Dani smiled warmly in appreciation that she was accepted by not only her parents, but by the whole world as well.

A few days later after the Disasteroid incident that nearly ended the entire world and Ghost Zone in cold blood, everyone in Amity Park has gathered around at City Hall where Tina Foley, the new mayor of Amity Park, walked up to the stage next to something huge, covered by a cloth. Because of Tina's great leadership, alongside Dani, they knew that the techno-geek was best fit to be the new mayor of their town, despite the fact that she was only about sixteen years old now, since now that Vladia Masters was no longer their mayor after she was banished from the Earth for her own evil deeds (even though everyone, but Team Phantom, had no idea that Vladia was the one who began the whole global crisis in the first place).

"Citizens of Amity Park and of the world, as the youngest mayor in Amity Park history, it's my great honor to present this commemorative statue, honoring the heroine who bravely saved us all: Dani Phantom." Tina announced before she then pulled the cloth off, revealing a large statue of Dani Phantom holding a globe of the world above her head. "An exact duplicate of this statue stands proudly in the capital of every nation of the world, and it will stand as long as we have our world, because thanks to Dani Phantom, we still have one."

Everyone began clapping and cheering for Dani. "I still wonder how Dani was able to fool us for so long." Matt admitted to Jackie as he smiled.

"Good question, but I gotta admit, she was good. After all, it's nearly impossible to fool me. Ain't that right, Dani?" Jackie asked the TinBot disguised as Dani.

"Affirmative, Mother." She said.

"That's my girl!" She only earned a confused look from her husband.

Tina then walked off the podium and stood next to James. "Where the heck are Dani and Sam?" She asked him.

"I don't know, I think she said she had some 'unfinished business' to attend to." James replied.

To answer Tina's question, Dani and Sam were currently overlooking the whole ceremony as they sat next to each other on the hill in Amity Park underneath a tree as they watched the whole thing alone together.

"I can't believe you didn't want to attend your own ceremony." Sam said to Dani in somewhat disbelief.

"Well, you know me, I kind of like sitting on the sidelines sometimes." Dani said simply as she smiled at him and shrugged her shoulders while she tilted her head a little.

"And you're cool with your folks knowing your secret identity?"

"Yep. The time for secrets is over. The world is safe, time for new beginnings. My mom even says I could team up with her now; says I can be her sidekick."

"You're a big star now, probably the biggest in the world."

"Yeah, it's weird, huh?" Dani then rubbed her bangs off her forehead for a little bit before rubbing her neck while she smiled sheepishly at her gothic friend. "And I guess I'll be...pretty busy."

Sam chuckled a little. "What else is new?"

Dani then looked a little down and sighed sadly. "And...I guess I won't be seeing much of you anymore."

However, Sam remained positive as he smiled warmly at his new girlfriend he has had a secret crush on for years. "Oh, I wouldn't count on that." He then pulled out the class ring he once was going to give to his old crush, Gabri, but since really had Dani's name engraved (not to mention Gabri was a fraud the whole time they knew her when she briefly hooked up with Sam), he held out Dani's hand and slipped the ring onto her right ring finger. "Dani, the world wouldn't be here anymore nor would it be different without you."

Dani's eye began leaking tears of joy as she looked back up at her new boyfriend. Out of all the crushes she has had, once massively with Paul Sanchez, the last with Vincent Gray, but her truest love was with one of her best friends she has known her entire life all this time, Samuel Manson. Dani guessed that she really has been clueless all along and she couldn't even see it, but now she could...and she also somewhat believed this all started when Sam first faked-out maked-out with her before and that was when it all began.

"And I don't care what's coming for you next, I just hope that whatever it is, I'm there to share it with you." Sam continued as he smiled at his new girlfriend.

"You will be." Dani promised as she blinked out her tears before she made a skeptical face and pointed at him a little. "I just have to warn you, I'm no push-over, you know. I still have my own way of doing things."

"That's what I'm counting on." Sam held onto Dani's hands again while they smiled before they kissed passionately again underneath the tree on the hill and underneath the clear nighting sky as they enjoyed their new boyfriend-girlfriend relationship everyone believed they were destined to be.

Meanwhile, back in space, Vladia Plasmius sat miserably on a rock from her biggest defeat she has ever suffered through. As the world accepted Dani as a half-ghost because of her selfless heroism and saving their world with nothing in return, they still resented Vladia because of her selfish villainies and her wanting to have complete control over the world in return. Of course, when she once had the Infimap before the whole Saturn incident that began the Disastroid catastrophe in the first place all thanks to the woman, she asked the mysterious map hundreds times to show and take her to her destiny, but in every world she once tried to take over, she has been kicked out of every single realm, revealing that her destiny was to live isolation and be lonely for all eternity.

"Actually being a free-roaming space nomad isn't half bad." Vladia said to herself while she slowly began coming into her eternal solitude as she began to smile a little. "At least it's quiet and I-" The half-ghost woman got cut short when a shadow loomed over her and she shouted before she was hit by the Disasteroid, leaving Vladia's fate entirely unknown to everyone on Earth.

Back on Earth on top of the hill, Dani then stood up to her feet before she changed to her ghost form and then she and Sam held onto each other's hands romantically. "What do ya say, wanna go for a ride? See where the future takes us?" Dani asked her boyfriend.

"Why not?" He said as he shrugged his shoulders a little. Dani and Sam then both wrapped their arms around each other before Dani took off to the air with her new boyfriend beside her as they flew over the new statue. "Cool statue. Personally, I would've made it out of recycled materials, but you know, that's just me."

His half-ghost heroine girlfriend giggled as they flew towards the full moon. "Keep dreaming, my little bat."

So in the end, Dani Fenton's life really has changed a lot since the day she first walked into the ghost portal. At first, she was just an ordinary, invisible, and unpopular girl who desired to be so much more, until she gained ghost powers from a lab accident, thus becoming a half-human, half-ghost hybrid, gifted with paranormal and extraordinary powers and abilities. At first, she longed to be normal and fit in with the other kids, but then she dedicated her life into protecting her hometown from ghost threats who mean harm as the teen ghost fighting superheroine Dani Phantom, going on adventures with her friends and family, foiling her enemies' plans, and learning her lessons in the end of an adventure and battle. So, despite everything Dani has gone through the past year she had her ghost powers, she still had what it took to become a very good heroine with or without the gifts she has been given to protect both the Earth and the Ghost Zone, and she has even found the love of her life she was destined to be with, Samuel Manson, her best friend she has known since the first grade. But hey, that's high school life for ya, right?
