Part 3

Danny, Illana, Octus, and Rufus hid in the Assembly Hall; Danny had his human appearance and Illana was no longer in her armor. The mood seemed pretty grim, as most of their team had been taken over by the Phantom Mutradi. Illana looked down a bit as Rufus began to whimper, obviously worried for Ron and Kim.

"Some first fight, huh?" Danny guessed.

"So are we never going to leave the Mutradi's shadow? Are they always going to haunt us?" Illana questioned.

"If it makes you feel any better, I got my own share of recurring villains so I can relate, but we're not done yet." Danny stated.

"They've assimilated pretty much our whole team, they have all the power and if they have Lance, we can't form Titan." Illana said.

"We got some power on our side to. We also have hope, and I for one will never surrender. I have never have before and I'm not gonna start now." Danny said firmly as he stood up.

Octus and Rufus both looked up at this. "Danny, you are quite inspiring." Octus observed while the smiling Rufus gave a thumbs up.

Illana had to smile at this as well. "If you won't give up, then I won't either." She stood up as well. "So, what's the plan?"

"It's time to strike back." Danny began. "What do we know about these things?"

"They appear to have some sort of hive mind." Octus began to explain. "If one experiences an event, the others become aware as well."

"We ambush one, the others will know about it." Danny translated.

"They also seem to possess the exact same abilities as their victims." Octus in formed.

"Nun, uh; nun uh!" Rufus shook his head as he pointed to Danny; Illana then realized what he said.

"That's right." Illana said. "That Phantom couldn't possess you. You we're able to resist, how is that possible?"

"If I had to guess, I'd say it's because I'm half-ghost." Danny began. "I can overshadow people to, take control of their bodies. I would say that after doing it for so long, maybe I'm resistant to it myself. It felt like though it was in my head, like it was seeing my mind."

"What makes these Phantom Mutradi so unique is their ability to not only use the powers of those they posses, but also see their memories and learn more about them." Octus said.

"So they know about you, even though they couldn't possess you." Illana said to Danny.

"Looks like it." Danny replied.

Illana then had an epiphany. "Hey, if you can possess people to, then maybe you can…"

"…Drag the Phantoms out of our friends' bodies!" Danny finished for her.

"That could work." Octus agreed with Rufus nodding his head in excitement.

There was a pounding at the main door just outside the Assembly Hall. "Looks like we're about to test our theory." Danny said as he transformed back into Danny Phantom and Illana activated her armor. The door was pounded on more and more until it was finally broken down; revealing a certain pair of metal hands.

"Escape is futile, your death is inevitable." The Possessed Rex stated as he jumped towards the group; they all separated just as he landed and smashed his Smack Hands on the ground, leaving an impression.

Danny and Illana both blasted their respective beams, which the Possessed Rex blocked by forming his Block Party, shielding himself from the attack; but Octus slammed onto the Possessed Rex, the two rolled on the ground before standing back up; Octus holding the Possessed Rex's elbows and his hands behind the teenager's head.

"Sorry Rex, but this is for your own good." Octus said. "Danny, GO!"

"Don't have to tell me twice!" Danny exclaimed as he flew directly into Rex. He was released from Octus' grip as he moaned in pain; he held his head and crouched down, his eyes shifting between purple and green rapidly. It ended with a yell as Danny came flying out of his back, carrying the Phantom Mutradi with him. Danny threw him and he smacked against the wall.

The Phantom Mutradi could only look with absolute shock. "What?! IMPOSSIBLE!" He was then blasted by a laser from Illana's armored forehead, it screamed before exploding two seconds later.

Hallway.

Each of the Possessed Avengers eyes went wide as they all felt this.

"Did we just feel that?" The Possessed Lance questioned.

"One of our brethren has been slain." The Possessed Kim realized.

"The Phantom Boy was able to free the one called Rex; by phasing into his body and dragging our brother out!" The Possessed Jake said.

"They can destroy us and free their friends now!" The Possessed Ben exclaimed.

"Then we must destroy them immediately!" The Possessed Ron stated.

"They are in the Assembly Hall! Let's go!" The Possessed Zak yelled as they all ran towards their destination.

Training Room

Danny phased himself, the armored Illana, Octus, Rex, and Rufus into the empty training room. Octus set the downed Rex gently on the floor as Danny and Illana kneeled down.

"Rex, are you okay?" Illana asked with concern.

"I'll live." Rex groaned as he rubbed his face. "Problem is, I'm probably not gonna watch horror movies for a long time after this."

"Yep, he's back." Danny said with an amused smile, Rufus nodding in agreement.

"Rex, do you know what's going on?" Octus asked.

"Yeah." Rex replied. "Mutradi ghosts. I could see everything I was doing; I tried to stop him but…"

"You did your best, and you're free now. Don't worry." Illana said.

"You're gonna have to get back on your feet quickly though." Danny stated as Rex got back up. "These guys have a hive mind, so it's not gonna take them long to find us."

"Let them come." Rex said. "I'm eager for some major payback; even if we have to go through the others to do it." He stated as he cracked his knuckles.

"You may get your chance yet." Octus said as the door to the training room was blasted down. The Possessed Jake flew in, in Dragon Form before touching down. The Possessed Kim, Ben, Lance, Ron, and Zak followed next.

"You we're right; it didn't take them long." Illana said to Danny.

"No more games!" The Possessed Lance stated as he activated the Manus Armor. "You all die now!" He activated his machine gun cuffs and opened fire; but Danny stood in front and created an Ecto-Energy shield to block the attack.

"What's the plan?" Rex asked.

"We gotta separate them!" Danny began. "Rex, you take Ben; Illana, handle Lance; Octus, deal with Zak and Kim; I'll take Jake and Ron."

"Understood." Illana said as Danny exploded the shield outwards, creating a smokescreen.

The Possessed Avengers shielded their eyes; however out of the smoke came Rex on his Boogie-Pack. He quickly grabbed the Possessed Ben and flew straight upwards. He shot out his rams from his wings, which blasted a whole through the ceiling, and Rex carried the Possessed Ben up and through the hole.

Octus ran at super-speed and snatched both the Possessed Kim and Zak off booth their feet and zoomed out the door.

Illana flew out of the smokescreen and into the air. "You guys want me so bad, then come and get me!" She challenged as she flew out the whole Rex made. The Possessed Lance flew after her, leaving only the Possessed Ron and Jake who could only glare at Danny as the smoke cleared.

Rufus clung to Danny's shoulder with fear. "Uh, Rufus, you're gonna wanna get some distance, it's about to get messy hear." Danny warned as the Possessed Jake and Ron ran towards him.

Courtyard.

Rex flew out a large window and threw the possessed Ben to the ground. "You think by separating us, you can defeat us?" The possessed Ben questioned to Rex as he set down. "Others have tried that tactic before, and have failed."

"You guys never crossed paths with us before." Rex stated as he formed his smack hands. "I've gone on par with Ben, you're just a cheap knock-off."

"We shall see." The Possessed Ben activated the Omnitrix and transformed into Shocksquatch. He leaped towards Rex, but he smacked the Possessed Shocksquatch in the face before forming his Punk Busters and giving a roundhouse, knocking him back.

Rex leaped forward with another punch, but the Possessed Shocksquatch caught it. "Metal fists, not the best weapon to use against an electro-manipulative enemy." He then sent an electric bolt that painfully zapped Rex. He grunted in pain as his right hand formed his Slam Cannon. He grabbed a piece of the ground and shot it at the Possessed Shocksquatch; sending him flying all the way to the wall on the far side of the yard.

Rex regained his breath a little and saw a green flash; the Possessed Ben had now transformed into Chromastone and flew in the air, blasting a beam of colorful energy towards Rex, which he blocked by forming his Block Party.

"Ben, if you can hear me in there; I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to kick your ass now. Try not to take it personally." Rex, still with his Block Party, formed his Sky Sled and took to the air. His right hand still kept a Block Party shield while his left hand formed a Bad Axe and had swung it towards his possessed friend.

Laboratory

Octus ran into the lab and dropped the Possessed Kim and Zak, but they quickly got up.

"If Kim and Zak can hear me, then let me apologize in advance for any pain you may still feel after this." Octus warned.

"Don't be so full of yourself, robot." The Possessed Zak said. "These humans are not to be underestimated."

"Yes, they are quite strong indeed." The Possessed Kim acknowledged. "What was it she said? Oh yes, Kim Possible can do anything."

"That would be true, if you really we're Kim Possible." Octus replied before blasting electric bolts forward, forcing them both to cartwheel backwards. The Possessed Kim slid under one bolt and towards Octus, where she performed a sweeping kick to knock him off his feet. She jumped and tried to plant her falling foot onto him, but he caught her foot and threw her towards the side.

Octus swerved out of the way to avoid an incoming Claw, which retracted back to the Possessed Zak as he ran forward. He extended the claw to the length of a bo-staff and twirled it before thrusting forward to Octus, which he swerved to avoid. The Possessed Zak continued to try and lay a series of attacks, but Octus was able to avoid them all with super speed. He grabbed the claw from one thrust and flipped the Possessed Zak over, causing him to roll along the ground.

The Possessed Kim came in with a series of punches and made a few contacts, knocking Octus back a slight bit; but Octus caught one punch and quickly pulled the Possessed Kim into a bear hug. He turned to see the Possessed Zak come in and try to smack the claw into his face.

Hanger

Illana hovered above the water in the hanger and looked around to see where she could spot her assailant, but he wasn't anywhere to be found. "I know you're here, show yourself." Illana whispered to herself.

The Possessed Armored Lance suddenly bursted through the wall; grabbed Illana with one of his massive hands and flew to pin her to the wall on the far side.

"Please tell us." The Possessed Lance began. "How does it feel? Knowing that the hands of your own protector will be the same to end your life? When we end it and bring your broken body to Master Modula, he will honor us as loyal servants."

"I have a message for Modula!" Illana exclaimed as she shot a massive beam from her chest piece forcing the armored Possessed Lance off of her. They both hovered in the air in their respective armors glaring at each other.

"Listen up, because I am only going to say this once. Get. Out. Of. Him. NOW!" Illana commanded.

"Our apologies, but that is not going to happen." The Possessed Lance launched a series of missiles from his shoulders and they soared to Illana. She shot a laser from her forehead, destroying the missiles. Out of the smoke however, the Possessed Lance smacked Illana and sent her to the wall onto the far right side of the hanger.

Illana recovered just in time to see the Possessed Lance come in with a spear from his armor. She flew up and out of the way just as it impaled the wall. Illana shot a series of lasers from her armor's palms, which impacted the Possessed Lance and knocked him down, but did no major damage.

The Possessed Lance flew back up and tried to grab Illana but she flew away from him; which resulted in him opening his machine gun cuffs and trying to shoot her down, while she flew around and did her best to avoid them.

Training Room.

The Possessed Ron rushed forward and tried to punch Danny, but he was able to avoid it by swerving his head. The Possessed Ron tried to punch again, but Danny blocked it with his arm and he gave a punch to knock back the Possessed Ron; he then flew forward and shot a large Ecto-Energy beam, which hit Ron dead on. His Mystic Monkey aura protected him, but the impact sent him to the wall.

Danny flew to avoid a ball of fire shot towards him. As Danny flew in the air, he found himself being chased by the Possessed Jake in his dragon form. Danny continued to fly and avoid being hit by the fire streams. Danny then flew at an even faster speed and straight towards the Possessed Jake, who couldn't react quickly enough as he laid a series of punches and kicks, before giving a powerful kick to the head knocking him down.

"Sorry about that!" Danny called down below.

Rufus watched on the side and was motioning a series of punches and kicks as if he we're in the battle himself. All while still cheering Danny on.

The Possessed Ron leaped up high and tackled Danny, taking him to the ground. Danny was able to grab him and flip him off him and send him rolling. He saw the Possessed Jake come in from the air and shoot a stream of fire forward from his mouth. No time to react, Danny's eyes turned cyan blue as he blasted a blue beam of Ice-Ecto-Energy which hit the Possessed Jake's stream of fire and two we're locked in a beam struggle.

The Possessed Ron slowly got up and held his head. "This one is strong; perhaps the strongest of this group." He saw Danny still locked in a beam struggle with the Possessed Jake. "He must go, now." He then felt a tap on his shoulder and saw a certain naked mole rat.

"Hello." Rufus waved before biting down on his shoulder, causing him to yelp in pain. Rufus dived into his clothes and began to scamper around; causing the Possessed Ron to struggle and grunt as Rufus continued to scurry all over his body.

Danny saw that he and the Possessed Jake we're evenly matched in terms of ice and fire; but Danny had more than that up his sleeve; while still keeping his ice attack up, Danny began to fly straight up for the Possessed Jake, who's eyes went wide as he saw what he was doing. With not enough time to react, Danny had flown so close enough that the combined fire and ice attacks exploded, creating a white mist.

The Possessed Jake coughed, as he couldn't see anything. This gave Danny the opportunity he needed. Without hesitation he turned intangible and flew into Jake. He fell to the ground as he groaned, his eyes shifting from green to purple rapidly. It ended when Danny phased out, throwing the Mutradi Phantom away before launching a large beam of Ecto-Energy, vaporizing the Phantom.

Jake regained his breath as he held his knees and Danny flew towards him, putting a hand on his back. "You okay?" Danny asked.

"What I am is in the mood for some payback!" Jake stated angrily.

The Possessed Ron struggled as he reached anywhere where his hands can get to; the lump in his clothes, which was Rufus, moved everywhere; his front, his back, his arms, his legs, you name it. "You pest!" The Possessed Ron jumped back and slammed his back against the wall. The dizzy Rufus then fell out of the back of Ron's jacket before being picked up. Rufus struggled and whimpered when he saw the angry face of his possessed best friend.

"This will be enjoyable." The Possessed Ron said in twisted pleasure as he pulled back a fist, but something grabbed into it. He looked to see that it was a red claw.

"Yo! Yo! The Am Drag is back baby!" Jake cracked as he flipped the Possessed Ron over him, causing him to drop Rufus. He pinned the Possessed Ron against the wall and Danny flew straight into him as well. Ron struggled as the two ghostly entities wrestled in his body. Jake let him go just as Danny dragged out the Mutradi Phantom and threw him to the ground, only to be completely incinerated by a stream of fire, courtesy of the American Dragon. The two then attended to the now-free-Ron Stoppable.

"Dude, Ron, you alright?" Jake asked, concerned for his friend as Ron caught his breath.

"I'm fine I… Rufus? Rufus!? RUFUS!?" He looked around frantically until Jake caught his head and turned it downward to see the Naked Mole Rat. "Rufus I…" Ron began. "I'm sorry, I didn't…" It ended just when Rufus ran up his arm and to his head, hugging Ron's face, indicating that there we're no hard feelings.

"Okay, touching reunion aside, we still got some work to do." Danny said.

"Got that right, it's time for some Ghost-Busting!" Ron stated.

Laboratory

Octus moved at near-lightning speed to avoid the combined attacks of the Possessed Kim and Zak. The Possessed Kim laid a series of punches, which Octus was able to block at a super fast rate; but it served as the perfect distraction for the Possessed Zak to slam the claw against his back, knocking him back. The Possessed Zak and Kim then grabbed the extended claw and slammed the pole onto Octus, pinning him to the ground.

"You're out of tricks, machine!" The Possessed Zak stated.

"Then it's a good thing we're here!"

The two turned around to see Danny send an ecto-beam forward, knocking them off Octus and sending them rolling across the floor. The Possessed Kim was the first to get up, but Ron quickly grabbed her, and with the strength of his Mystic Monkey Power, he was able to hold her in a tight bear hug. When the Possessed Zak got back up, Jake flew behind his back and pinned his hands behind.

Before he knew it, Danny had flown into Zak. He struggled, his eyes shifting colors before he yelled as Danny pulled out of Zak the Phantom Mutradi that was controlling him. Once he threw it away, an electric bolt from Octus zapped it, until it disintegrated.

Zak regained his breath as Jake helped him up. "Not used to being on the other end of that kind of thing." Zak said.

"Kim, come on!" Ron tried. "You're stronger than this guy! Fight him!"

"Try to warn all you wish, she is a part of us now!" The Possessed Kim said, as she was able to kick her feet and trip Ron, before flipping him over her.

"She won't be for long!" Danny said as he flew into Kim this time. Same as before, her eyes shifted from purple to green rapidly as she held her head. Danny then successfully pulled out the Phantom Mutradi and threw it towards Ron who could only glare at it.

"Let's be civil about this." The Phantom tried.

"No thanks." Ron replied. "Because no one possesses my girl!" Ron yelled as he punched the Phantom; his Mystic Monkey Aura was able to destroy the Phantom in a puff of smoke just as his fist made contact.

Danny kneeled down to Kim as she regained her breath. "That felt really weird." Kim said.

"Trust me, it's a feeling you never get used to." Danny replied as he was in a similar situation before.

Ron quickly helped her up. "KP, you doing okay? I mean I know it's out of you but…" He was cut off as Kim pulled Ron into a kiss. Rufus gave an 'aw' squeak while Jake rolled his eyes and Danny, Octus, and Zak just looked surprised.

Kim pulled away and held Ron as she smiled. "Does that answer your question?" Ron could only reply with a dreamy smile and a spaced-out gazed.

"Uh… hate to break up the moment, but we're not done yet." Zak interrupted.

"He's right, just two left." Jake said.

"Ben and Lance." Octus replied.

"I got Lance, the rest of you take Ben." Danny stated.

Hanger

The Possessed Lance fired upwards towards the ceiling while Illana did her best to fly around and avoid all the shots. The Possessed Lance, once again, shot a series of missiles from his shoulders. They impacted the ceiling and exploded, the force from the shockwave hit Illana and sent her falling hitting the dock. She tried to get back up but her armor was pinned down the armored foot of the Possessed Lance. He took out a sword.

"Any last words Princess?"

"I was about to ask the same thing of you!"

He turned around just to see Danny phase into the armor and into Lance's body.

"Lance! Danny!" Illana exclaimed as she saw the armor struggle. Inside, Lance moaned in pain as his eyes shifted from purple to green rapidly. It continued until the Manus Armor shut down, revealing only Lance as he held his head. Danny then phased out from behind Lance, dragging the Phantom Mutradi with him. Danny threw it away before blasting an Ecto-Beam at the Mutradi, vaporizing it just like the others.

Illana deactivated her armor and quickly ran to Lance just as Danny touched down near them. "Lance! Speak to me!" Illana stated.

Lance held his face as his head began to clear. "Illana?"

She soon enveloped him into a hug. "Oh Lance. Don't scare me like that." Illana let go as she helped Lance to his feet. He looked to Danny.

"Hey listen uh… thanks." He said to Danny.

"No problem. It's what team-mates are for." Danny assured with a smile, to which Lance gave a small smile as well.

"Danny, how many are left?" Illana asked.

"Just one, though I'm guessing that one's gonna be the hardest to beat."

Courtyard

Rex used his Smack Hands to trade blows with the Possessed Ben, in the form of Four Arms. He used his metal hands to block the relentless assault until, he sent his hands forward and grabbed Four Arms and back flipped, sending him head first into the ground, creating a crater.

Rex took a small breather. "Ben's really… been working out." He breathed just as a green flash appeared again; the possessed Ben had now transformed into Goop. Rex tried to grab him with his hands but the slime covered his Smack Hands. "Ah gross!" Rex stated as the Possessed Goop then began to completely envelop Rex and take the form of a sphere. Rex held his breath as he had no oxygen.

"It's a pity, this is truly a horrible way to go."

A stream of fire was sent forward; which forced the Possessed Goop off of Rex; he looked to a broken window to see Jake come flying out; with Kim, Ron, Zak, and Octus right behind him. Jake and Octus ran towards the Possessed Goop while Kim, Ron and Zak kneeled to Rex and helped him up.

"I had him on the ropes." Rex said, trying to sound tough.

"Right, sure you did." Kim replied sarcastically.

The Possessed Goop moved to avoid the energy bolts and fire blasts shot towards him from Octus and Jake; when it wasn't going to be enough, he transformed again, this time into Big Chill. He flew straight through Octus, freezing him.

Jake tried to breath fire at him; but the Possessed Big Chill flew over him and breathed some icy-air towards Jake; the fire and ice attacks locked again. Possessed Big Chill pressed forward while Jake found himself being pressed to the ground, it seemed he had the advantage until Kim came in with a kick, knocking the Possessed Big Chill back.

He quickly got up and found himself surrounded by Rex, Zak, Jake, Kim, and Ron. They all ran towards him, charging forward. The Possessed Big Chill crossed his arms and turned intangible, which resulted in them slamming into each other.

"This one possesses quite the device." The Possessed Big Chill mused. "A machine that enables him to transform into millions of different life forms, Master Modula will be pleased." He looked down to see Rufus gnawing on his foot, but he simply flew up and shook him off. "The others may have fallen, but this one is all the Master will need to rebuild his empire!"

His gloating was cut off by Lance, in his Manus Armor, as he punched the Possessed Big Chill, sending him to the ground. He got up to see Illana thawing the frozen Octus out with her Corus Armor's laser.

"Tell him he's going to have to wait." Lance stated as he opened fire with his machine gun cuffs, but the Possessed Big Chill simply turned intangible and allowed them to phase through him.

"You fool, you cannot touch…" He was cut off once again just as Danny flew forward and grabbed him, holding him down, despite being intangible. "What?! How are you…?"

"Intangible counters intangible, pal. Or didn't you already know that?" Danny cracked. The Possessed Big Chill grunted as he pressed the Omnitrix symbol again, and transformed.

Danny, Rex, Illana, Ron, Lance, Kim, Octus, Jake, Zak, and Rufus could only look in surprise at the form of the Possessed Humongousaur as he loomed over all of them. "Any more wisecracks?" He asked as he cracked his knuckles.

"Aw crud." Danny, Rex, Ron, Kim, Jake and Zak said at the same time. They all scattered as the Possessed Humongousaur smashed both his hands into the ground.

Illana and Jake both shot an energy beam and stream of fire at him; but he blocked it with both his arms and charged forward. He made a powerful clap, which sent a shockwave forward and knocked them both back. Rex using his Punk Busters then kicked the Possessed Humongousaur in the back; Lance followed in with a punch, but The Possessed Humongousaur caught the armored fist and threw him at Rex, sending the two rolling across the ground. The Possessed Humongousaur than laid eyes on Danny and rushed towards him; Ron, Kim, Zak, and Octus tried to stop them but he brushed them out of the way. Danny tried to fly up and shoot ecto-beams at him but he jumped and grabbed Danny with one hand. He fell down to the ground and pinned Danny down with his hand.

"You will die first! You we're the one responsible for killing the rest of my brothers! When I bring yours and the Princess' corpse to him, Lord Modula will recognize me as his most loyal and greatest servant of all!"

"Nice declaration." Danny said. "Here's mine!" He inhaled deeply then unleashed his Ghostly Wail straight upwards. The force itself was powerful enough to send the Possessed Humongousaur off of him and into the air before falling down. Danny kept it up to force him back, he was still holding back as he didn't want to do any real damage, but it was enough to get him to cover his ears. He then transformed back into Ben.

This was it. Danny ceased his wail and flew straight into Ben. Everyone watched as he groaned, his eyes shifting from purple and green just like all the others. In one final yell, Danny flew out and threw the last Phantom Mutradi out; he was tossed into one of the broken windows and back into the mansion.

Everyone rushed to Ben as Danny kneeled down to him.

"Dude, Ben, you okay?" Rex asked.

"How many fingers am I holding up?" Ron asked as he held up two fingers.

"Ben…?" Illana asked.

"Are you…" Kim also asked.

Ben regained his breath as he stood up. "Now that was a rush." Everyone smiled in relief at that. However, a screeching noise caught everyone's attention. They all looked towards the mansion to see the final Phantom Mutradi fly out of the mansion. Danny, Jake, and Octus tried to shoot at him but he was fast enough to avoid all the shots; he brushed past Ron before flying high into the sky.

"We got a runner!" Kim yelled.

"I got him!" Danny said as he was about to fly, but Lance put his arm out.

"No, let him go. His master will finish him for this failure." Lance informed.

"Modula." Illana grunted.

"So that prick is still out there, huh?" Rex figured.

"We'll find him." Kim said.

"Well, I don't know about all of you guys, but I think we all could use a break." Ben said.

"Agreed." They all replied at the same time, Rufus nodding in agreement.

Assembly Hall

The Avengers we're all slacking down in the chairs surrounding the main table, as they we're quite tired, minus Octus as he was a machine and could not get tired.

"Okay…" Rex began. "Now that was something."

"Our first team fight, not quite how I pictured it." Kim pointed out.

"So, what now?" Jake asked.

At that moment, everyone was silent. Illana had something to say so she was the first to speak. "Maybe… we can start… sharing stories?"

Lance gave a small sigh, as he knew what she was talking about. "What do you mean?" Ben asked.

"Like… I don't know… origin stories or something?" Illana began. "We're a team. I mean, I get we're just starting out, but if we want this thing to work, we need to know more about each other."

"What, like a sewing circle?" Ron asked as Rufus just shrugged.

"That's not a bad idea." Danny chimed, getting everyone's attention. "Those guys back there, they knew more about us than we knew about each other. We're not just a group of people, we're a team. Illana's right, if it's gonna work, we need to know more about each other."

"So, we're explaining how we got our powers then?" Zak asked.

"Yeah, how we got pulled into the 'super hero' business." Danny replied.

Everyone took the moment to think about this. "You know, that's not a bad idea." Kim said.

"Alright, lets do it." Ben also chimed.

"Good idea." Rex agreed.

"Seems cool with me." Jake stated.

"Same here." Ron chimed with Rufus eagerly nodding.

"Ditto." Zak added.

"It would be a good way to exercise team bonding." Octus said.

Illana looked towards Lance who smiled and shrugged. "Alright, so who's going first?" She asked.

Danny gave a playful sigh. "I'll go." He then began to share his story of how he became Danny Phantom, with the other Avengers listening with interest. "It all started about a year ago, my parents we're working on a portal to this place called The Ghost Zone…"

Unknown Location

The final Phantom Mutradi entered a dark room and began to slowly fly through it. In it's hand was a Dimensional Converter. It snagged this when it brushed by Ron during his escape; it figured that it was the least it can bring as it failed in its mission. The Phantom made to a small chair, which served as a sort of throne for its master; Modula.

"My master." The Phantom bowed.

"There is only one of you, where are the others?" Modula asked.

"I regret to inform you that our collective mission has failed; my brothers have all been slain." The Phantom informed.

Modula gave a low growl. "This is rather… disappointing."

"These children, these Avengers, are far stronger than we had believed. They each wield great power…"

"We're you able to possess them? Modula questioned.

"Yes my lord." The Phantom answered. "We each have possessed one of the newcomers, though one has proven resistant to our control and…"

"We're you still able to see his mind?" Modula interrupted.

"Yes Lord Modula." The Phantom replied. "We have seen the minds of all the new comers, and as that we we're all linked in a hive mind, I can sense all their knowledge."

"Excellent." Modula replied as he gave a small smile and his hat began to open, revealing the green eye inside. "Your sacrifice shall not be in vain."

"Sacrifice…? I do not…" Before he could answer, green electric bolts shot from Modula's eye-hat and into the Phantom Mutradi who screamed in agony, as he screamed, Modula was seeing all his collective knowledge.

He could see it all; where each of them came from; their friends and families; their battles and experiences; each live-defining moment, he could see it all. All their achievements and failures, all their life. He has now seen it all.

The Phantom was now vaporized; the only thing left was the stolen Dimensional Converter, which was picked up by the intrigued Modula.

"The Multiverse." He began. "Even more so, the Avengers. They aren't just normal children, are they?" Modula stroke his beard as he continued to contemplate. "Its no wonder how they we're able to defeat the whole of the Mutradi. Illana stands with giants; if I am to defeat them…" A smile formed on his face. "…I must do the same, maybe even more so."

Five minutes later

At least two-dozen small, spherical, probes hovered in front of Modula as he sat down. He then began to speak. "If you are receiving this message, consider it a sign of my respect, and a call to arms. Time and time again, your enemies have thwarted each of you. We are all meant for greater things, but it will not happen as our enemies are now united, in order for our fates to change than we must do the same; we must join together, and we shall destroy our enemies! It is time for each of us to step into a higher society!"

With that, Modula pressed a few keys on the Dimensional Converter, he then aimed and pulled the trigger. A series of portals opened before him and all the probes flew into the portals before they closed. Modula then gave an evil smile.

Done.

That is the end of Episode 1. And so begins The Avengers of the Multiverse. What has Modula done? It seems our heroes are going to be in for quite the journey. I am looking forward to writing more episodes. Thank you all for your support and stay tuned.
