Chapter 2: Battle

A hand rose up from the rubble. Daniel rose up from the collapsed building, eyeing Dan. The DP sign on his shoulders seemed to glow as his eyes did. He flew fast at Dan , raising a fist and just evaporated. Dan looked all around, looking for the ghost.

"Where are you?" Dan cried.

"Right below you."

Daniel busted out of the ground and delivered a powerful uppercut to Dan's jaw. Dan flew back a couple yards and quickly flew back. He flew right past Daniel, picked up a van and disappeared. Daniel went intangible. He waited on Dan to come back up, but he never popped up.

"Haha! I always knew you were scared of me!" Yelled Daniel, still intangible.

He didn't want to become tangible and risk Dan sneaking up on him. Dan flew up a couple feet in front of Daniel.

"I'm right here. I will never fear you," said Dan with a twisted smirk.

Daniel was about to say something until the real Dan flew up behind him and smashed the car on him. He flew to the side of them and unleashed a ghostly wail, knocking him back into a building. It collapsed, and seemed to kill Daniel. Dan's eyes widened and he grinned madly as he turned to Danny, seeing him fading away. Danny was speechless as he faded from existence slowly. All of a sudden he became fully transparent and Daniel rose up above the bricks. He started walking towards Dan, but groaned and dropped back down.

"Get them, army."

The ghost skeletons stopped destroying everything and rushed towards them. Danny and the rest got off the telekinesis and Danny charged at them. He was knocking countless ghosts into a pile of bones. He seemed like he was going to finish them all off until he started getting tired. Dan didn't want piles of bones killing Danny instead of him.

"Danny fly away! You'll die in there," Dan said, smiling.

"Oh you would love that wouldn't you?" Danny said as he continued fighting.

"Stubborn as a mule," Dan sighed.

He flew as fast as he can and grabbed Danny before alot of skeletons pounced on him. Dan flew above them, blasting tons of them with ecto blasts. They all flew over him and landed on top of him. They started beating on him.

"Agh!" Dan exclaimed.

Danny flew to help him. He almost got there until a furious Daniel grabbed him.

"You're coming with me." He said.

He flew off only to be hit by a big ghost ray. They both looked up and saw Sam and Tucker. Danny used that time to blast Daniel hundreds of yards back and fly off. He blasted tons of skeletons and grabbed Dan. He noticed his collar.

"Clockwork's pet phantom, huh?" Danny laughed

They were interrupted by an explosion. A big ecto-ball exploded, killing every ghost skeleton and knocking Danny and Dan hundreds of feet back. Daniel walked out from the dust cloud smiling.

"Until next time, turkeys. I need to get more of my army," Daniel said.

"You're not going anywhere!" Danny yelled.

"Actually, it is you that's not going anywhere until I slit your throats and send you to the fiery depths of hell!" Daniel yelled as he started spinning.

"What is this kid doing?" asked Dan.

Danny shrugged his shoulders. Daniel started spinning faster and faster until he was a mini tornado. He started flinging out ecto energy balls and knocking all of them out. He twisted around and flew up towards the specter speeder. He picked it up and smashed it.

"I'm superior. You all need to learn that," Daniel said and flew off.

Back in the ghost zone, Daniel showed up to see Fright Knight. He got mad.

"You couldn't help me kill them, could you?" Dan asked, furious.

"I only tried to save your life!" Fright Knight said, sharpening his sword.

"Oh so I'm not strong enough for a 16 year old brat and his friends?" Daniel asked as he charged up ecto energy.

"Not at all, master. If you were to kill Danny Phantom, you would die top. He's you." Fright Knight said.

Dan paused. He just smiled and walked away from Fright Knight.

"Lets visit the one man who made this all possible," said Daniel.

He took off for Clockwork's tower. He phased up at the medallions and put one on. He flew up behind Clockwork and watched him watch the battle.

"Hmm, medalling again." Daniel smiled.

Clockwork turned around and stared daggers at Daniel.

"You know you're nothing but a mistake right? I made you." Clockwork smiled, trying to persuade Daniel to turn good.

"But why? You hate evil," Daniel frowned.

"You have great potential. You can keep both worlds in line without crushing the life out of every single moving object," Clockwork said.

"Thanks but I think I'll pass." Daniel said.

Clockwork flew fast at Daniel and ripped off his medallion. He slowed down time and sucked him in Dan's former thermos.

"Piece of cake. Time in," Clockwork said.

"How?" Daniel asked.

Clockwork just smirked. The thermos started glowing a green color and melted. Daniel flew up with fiery hair. It died back down and he smiled at Clockwork.

"You're a good opponent. Sad that I have to leave without killing you," Daniel said, turning invisible, grabbing a time medallion and flying away. Clockwork shook his head and floated off.
