Chapter 73: Siege on Middleton Part 1

"This is why I asked you to come, Slim…"

It was Monday.

The Possible family came home, with some guests staying.

It wasn't too much trouble, but when James got a call about what was on the roof of the Space Center and got a picture of what it was, he recognized it.

He showed his big brother as soon as be brought him there.

And what both men saw, they couldn't believe.

"It looks exactly like my old project…" Slim said, in complete disbelief. "How'd them giant varmints make it so big?"

"That's not all…" James said as he directed his brother around the corner, showing him something else. "We saw these…"

"That wasn't part of the original." Slim said.

There were some kind of cables coming of the machine's side. Somehow, overnight, whoever left the machine made it go through the walls, attached to the center's satellite.

"We figure it had to be those ghosts that Danny fights…" James said. "I asked if we could remove the cables… but thanks to how deep they are in the wall, and how they're attached to areas we can't reach without breaking down the wall, we'll risk damaging the satellite. Even if we got them off, this thing weighs too much to get off without taking it apart."

Slim, meanwhile, was observing the entire machine.

"This thing is supposed to hijack any form of audio in case of emergencies… If they wanted it for something, at best we're looking at the entire state…" Slim said as he pondered.

"Well… it may have something to do with then hijacking our satellite…" James said. "We've tried blocking them out… but they've locked us out… Whatever it is this thing is going to do… no stopping now…"

In Amity Park, a trio of friends arrived to school.

Only one of them had the biggest smile on his face.

"Dude, you okay?" Tucker asked with amused smirk.

"What happened yesterday?" Sam asked, suspicious.

"Oh… nothing massive…" He said outloud. "Yet…" He said under his breath.

All he had on his mind at the moment is Kim.

How it looks like they'd be a thing when this is all over.

How he and Kim would hold hands and possibly even kiss in public.

It just made him beaming with joy.

Even as they entered the halls of school, Danny's goofy smile didn't leave his face.

This was getting on Sam's nerves.

"Danny?" She asked.

"Aww, lighten up, Sam." Tucker said. "Whatever… or whoever… is making him happy is a good thing for him at the moment."

Sam knew who he was alluding to and it made her red with anger.

I swear… that girl… I don't care how many people she's saved… I will… be cremated if I pick a fight with her… Her thoughts went from rage to genuine realization she is no threat to Kim.

And speaking of threats…

"Hey! Fenton!"

Danny's good mood finally dropped. In a way Sam did not take pleasure in.

Somebody grabbed Danny by the collar.

"What do you want, Dash?" Danny asked.

Dash pushed Danny into the locker.

"You and your hot bodyguard have been nothing but trouble for me!" Dash said. "I'll forgive her because she's hot… but you've had this coming!"

Dash rose his fist, but then, to the shock of everyone not Danny, he immediately let go.

There was a blank expression on his face as Dash just walked to a nearby drinking fountain and, rather than stand where he could sip water, stood where the water hits the drain. Once he hit the button to release the water, the splash hit him crotch, causing it to look like he's wet himself.

This caused everyone in the halls to laugh their heads off at him.

This caught the attention of one teacher.

"Blue Covenant, Baxter! What are you doing?!"

Once Lancer shouted, Dash seemed to have snapped out of it. He blinked.

"Huh…?" Dash looked down and saw what he was doing and gasped. "What the heck?!"

He stopped and stepped back, looking down and seeing the water stain's location.

Lancer took him by the arm.

"Come on, we're taking you to the nurse to see what's wrong with you…" He said urgently. "I know Barkin was extreme… but don't lose your mind.

As Lancer took Dash, while the rest of the students left while laughing loudly, Danny walked up to the confused Sam and Tucker.

"How'd you do that?" Tucker asked.

"I didn't…" Danny said as he looked around. "Coast is clear." He said.

That's when Danielle appeared next to them, to the surprise of Sam and Tucker.

"Huh?!" They went.

"I asked Danny if it's cool I stay close in case of emergencies. Since Vlad's been MIA, he said it's cool." She explained.

"It is… but try to avoid massive ways to attract attention…" Danny said.

"Got it." Danielle said. "Now…" She turned intangible and began slowly phasing into the floor. "There's that basement of meat that needs cooking." She said with a smile and clasping her hands together.

Once she was gone, Tucker whined.

"No! I wanted all that meat!" He went.

Danny smiled and shook his head.

The idea of Danielle staying in Amity Park is something he hoped Kim and her family can help him with, along with what he and Kim will likely become soon.

In Middleton, Kim had Danny on her mind, even as class started.

She tried to focus but her thoughts kept going back to him. It helps that she's a better student and doesn't have to worry that much.

However, her agreement to be more than friends with Danny was in her mind.

She thought of how would this relationship work. His being younger wasn't an issue for her anymore, especially in the next 5-10 years. She was more concerned how people would give him attention thanks to her, since he has a secret identity.

She figured they could figure it out later.

"Homework everyone, and make it snappy..." Barkin said impatiently as everyone handed their homework over.

As always, Ron just barely finished his just in time to hand it over to the teacher and Kim, having finished it a while back, handed it without a problem, before her thoughts went to Danny, his sweetness, his strength, his heroism and all the things he has been making her feel lately.

Danny... Kim thought as she briefly engaged in a day dream about him.

She has been getting quite a few of them lately.

Daydream Sequence

Kim and Danny were walking together on a beach, holding hands as they admired the lovely sunset and how nicely it reflected against the beautiful blue ocean

"It's so beautiful..." Kim said as she felt Danny's arms around her.

"Just like you..." Danny said.

"Corny..." Kim said with amused smile.

Danny chuckled.

"You love it, admit it..."

Kim giggled.

"Of course…"

As the two looked into each other's eyes, green meeting blue, they leaned words before their lips met.

They kissed just as the sun set, making it a very, VERY romantic scene.

End of sequence.

Kim just had a dreamy look on her face as she let out a dreamy sigh as she thought about the cute ghost boy who found a place in her heart.

Meanwhile, Bonnie glared daggers at the back of Kim's head, she saw the look on her face and she knew who she is thinking about that caused such a look on her face.

The one guy that makes Bonnie have that same face in private, even if she'd never admit it to her peers.

Superhero boyfriend stealer… Bonnie thought angrily, feeling jealousy rising right now.

That's when a phone went off.

"Phones off, people!" Barkin shouted.

"Uh… Mr. Barkin?" Ron spoke up. "I think that's your phone…" He pointed to the phone on the wall.

"Oh… right…" Barkin said with some embarrassment. He went to answer it. "Hello… yes? Yeah, she and Stoppable are here… Okay." He hung up. "Possible! Your father called, says you and Stoppable are wanted at the space center!"

Kim heard this and snapped out of her daydream, putting her game face on.

Ron looked surprised.

"Weird, why didn't the Kimmunicator-"

"I promised Dad I'd keep it off during class…" Kim explained as she got out of her seat. "Dad calling must mean there's an emergency."

"I am so there!" Ron said as he got up.

Both of them left the classroom, going to get their mission gear. All the while, Bonnie still sent a glare at Kim as she found herself gripping her desk, not even caring about how it's affecting her nails.

I know what you are thinking Kim, and if you think I am going to let you steal him from me, think again! Bonnie thought in anger.

Kim held her Kimmunicator over her head, letting it scan the strange device.

The scan finished, Kim looked to the screen.

"Well, Wade?"

"Sorry Kim. From what I get, it looks like it's just a bigger version of your uncle's gadget." Wade explained from the screen. I can't find anything… else…" Wade said.

"Thanks for trying." She said as she turned it off and looked to her father and uncle. "Any idea when this was brought here?"

Her father shook his head.

Ron, who was sipping a drink from Bueno Nacho he insisted on picking up on the way, tapped his finger on the machine.

"So… what are they gonna do? Play music or something. Ooh… you think it'll play smooth jazz?"

"Ron. I don't think they're going to play smooth jazz…" Kim muttered.

"Hmm… ballroom music?" Ron asked.

Kim rolled her eyes.

"Well… they went through all this trouble for something…" She said with a hand at her hip. "But what?"

In the Ghost Zone, there floats a tower. In that tower is one of the most powerful entities in existence.

He is Clockwork, master of time, one of the oldest and most powerful ghosts of all time, who, while not malicious, is one no ghost dares to mess with, for obvious reasons.

Right now, he's been watching events on his monitors.

He took a breath as he saw certain events beginning to unfold.

"It's time…" He muttered.

He looked to his right and a portal opened. That portal had someone he knew coming out of it. It was an old friend of his.

Almost as old as he is.

This figure fell out before the portal shut quickly. This figure had a white rob, akin to Clockwork's purple. This figure had blue skin with a long green beard visible as he was getting up. He also wore a darker blue suit underneath with a gold belt that had a red eye symbol as a buckle. He also had gold bracelets. He had a blue and gold staff with a red eye at the tip.

"Clockwork?" He asked.

Clockwork shook his head.

"I was expecting you, Sojourn…" The time master said.

This ghost, Sojourn, lifted his head up. It revealed he had extremely blank, white eyes.

"What's happened thus far?! I need to know… if we can stop him from coming!"

Clockwork sighted.

"We may be too late…"

Sojourn's eyes widen, before he clenched his fists in anger.

"What's happened thus far?" Sojourn asks.

"Right now… a massive army is on its way…" Clockwork says.

"How long do we have until... he arrives?" Sojourn asked.

On the island, those not among the resurrected dragons were standing around, looking impatient and very much eager to leave.

"So… now that the device is left to do… whatever it will do, when do you think we may leave?" Monkey Fist asked.

"Hopefully soon." Ember said as she crossed her arms.

"And remove these ridiculous collars!" Vlad shouted, pulling his on his neck which he cannot break.

That's when the answer to their questions made itself known.

Someone flew in, someone they knew better than to challenge.

Thirorex.

"One last mission for all of you!" He shouted as landed. "This time… it will be glorious for you… Because I have a prize for you."

"We were told that before… what is it?" Vlad asked.

Grinning, Thirorex held his hand out, holding the object in question.

"Succeed… and you may wear it…"

Freakshow knew what it was, as he was there when it was restored.

"The Reality Gauntlet, right?"

Thirorex nodded.

"I knew it!" Vlad shouted. "Hand it over!" He demanded.

"Not so fast…" Thirorex stated. "Defend the machine. Those who do the best will get to wear it."

"Just to be clear." Drakken, unfamiliar with the gauntlet, asked. "Anyone who wears it can alter reality, right?"

"Yes." All of those who oppose Danny Phantom spoke up.

"Ooh… then I want it!" Drakken went.

"The one who does the best defending my machine may wear it." Thirorex said. "And be quick…"

All of the villains looked eager, though Shego seemed to have had a suspicious look on her face.

Once that was done, Thirorex flew back towards the cavern of his throne room.

Someone was at the cave entrance. It is his younger brother, Scorex.

Leaning on the entrance walls, Scorex stood up when his brother landed.

"What do you want?" Thirorex questioned angrily.

"I'm only going to ask this once… Do not wipe out the humans…" He said.

"Why are you so eager to defend a race that stole our world from us?" The king questioned again.

"We had our time… and we lost it. You know why-" A snarl from his older brother made him pause. "In any case… this world is not as we once left it…"

"That will change… Dark Plasma will help us…" Thirorex said.

It's what got us extinct. Scorex thought, but didn't dare to say it out loud.

"I'm just saying… killing them all is a huge waste of life…" Scorex argued.

This seemed to get Thirorex to think. He scratched his chin in thought.

"Perhaps you have a point…"

Scorex, feeling a sense of relief, smiled.

"Thank you…" He said.

Thirorex walked past him, into the caverns to his throne room.

"No… thank you…" Thirorex said with an evil grin his brother didn't see.

Kim had waited for a word from Wade in the center's cafeteria, while Ron scarfed on macaroni and cheese.

"So… what do we do? Go back to school?" Ron asked with his mouthful.

"Somehow, I get the feeling we shouldn't leave that thing on the roof…" Kim says.

However, before an answer is brought up, the sound something loud caught their attention. Ron, was who leaning in his chair, sat up.

"What the heck was that?!" He asked.

Kim got up. "Let's find out…"

There was a wall near the entrance of the space center, one that was smashed down.

It was by the Fright Knight, who used his power to do the deed.

With him was Monkey Fist, Duff Killigan, Skulker, Ember and Vlad Plasmius.

"Why didn't ya just use your little powers?" Killigan asked.

"I'VE BEEN STUCK ON AN ISLAND ENSLAVED BY BEASTS! I NEED SOMETHING TO TAKE FRUSTRATIONS ON!" The Fright Knight snapped loudly.

Killigan flinched back at that.

"Aye…"

"Let's just go…" Vlad ordered. "We do this, the rest go in the back, with Drakken, Dementor and Shego on top… the sooner we do this, the sooner we never need to see those monsters again…" He said with an eye twitch.

Clearly, he wants out of this as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, on the rooftop.

Drakken and Dementor, wanting to avoid major conflict, chose to stay on the rooftop. Shego stuck around to keep an eye on her boss.

Drakken observed the machine as Dementor just sat at the corner, taking a nap.

Drakken groaned at seeing what Dementor was doing as he went back to the machine.

"Top villain my foot… still… what is this thing going to be for?"

Shego had something else in mind, taking this time to ask him.

"Doctor D, question."

"If you must, Shego…" Drakken muttered.

"Why exactly would the Lizard King give any of us a glove that could alter reality?" She questioned. "I mean, what's to stop one of us from using it on him?"

Drakken paused and pondered.

"Hmm… that's a fair point…" He said. "Still, the opportunity is too good to pass up, we'll just be careful…"

"Translation, I'll be careful and you have to make sure not to do anything stupid... again..." Shego said.

Drakken growled at that.

"Shego!" He yelled in annoyance at his "sidekick", who rolled her eyes.

This is gonna go bad, I just know it... She thought.

Kim and Ron arrived to the destroyed wall, with Kim noticing the rubble going into the building.

"Someone broke in…" She said.

Ron looked worried.

"Someone big and scaly?"

Kim held up to the Kimmunicator.

"I'm getting ecto-readings…" Kim said.

"So, a ghost?" Ron asked.

"At least 4 of them." She answered.

"Not just them, lassie!"

That Scottish accent caught their attention as they saw a golf ball flying towards them.

"DUCK!" Kim shouted.

She pushed Ron out of the way as she ran from the golf ball that exploded. The explosion pushing them away a bit as Kim saw Killigan and Monkey Fist together.

"Working for reptiles… such a downgrade…" Monkey Fist grumbled. "This will make up for it."

"Aye…" Killigan agreed.

Kim readied for battle, but then someone else came in the have fun.

Someone who got in Killigan and Monkey Fist's way.

"I will handle this…"

"Skulker?!" Kim asked. "What are you doing here?!"

Skulker aims his blaster.

"Capturing humans or tech support… I chose the former. Good news, Miss Possible, I've decided your pelt will adorn my fireplace…" He said with a grin.

"Don't I feel lucky…" Kim muttered sarcastically.

"That is just sick and wrong..." Ron said, creeped out.

"Sick and wrong!" Rufus repeated from his pocket.

Skulker growled.

He sent a blast at them, but Kim grabbed Ron and managed to dodge, avoiding it.

"Come on!" Kim shouted.

She ran, with Ron following.

"Right behind ya, KP!"

Skulker fired, but the two ran out of the room of the ruined wall, avoiding his shots.

"Your pelts will be mine!" Skulker shouted.

Killigan and Monkey Fist look annoyed by Skulker interfering.

"We had that!" Monkey Fist shouted.

"Just make sure to capture other scientists and people here, we'll need hostages to keep anyone out…" Skulker snapped.

Meanwhile, Kim and Ron hid inside a small break room, Ron locking the door.

"Ron. One of them can go through walls." She reminded.

"I'm terrified, KP!" Ron went.

Kim held the Kimmunicator to her face.

"Wade… send an S.O.S."

"That bad, huh?" Wade asked. "Global Justice? Team Go?"

"Danny." She said straight.

She knew that she needed his help for this. Wade nodded and got to work.

All the while, Kim hoped he would be able to come

Meanwhile

At Casper High

Danny just got out of class and was walking with his friends to the cafeteria but his thoughts are on Kim.

Not that there is any surprise there.

I wonder how Kim is right now... Danny thought, still thinking of their last encounter.

A ping is heard from Danny's cell phone.

"A text?" He asked.

He took his phone, read it and his eyes widen and narrowed looking for his friends.

He found them and Jazz in the cafeteria.

"Guys, code red..." Danny said, getting their attention.

"Dude, what is it?" Tucker asked.

"We gotta get to Middleton!" He whispered harshly to his friends and sister.

"What's going on?" Sam asked.

"Space Center is being attacked, by certain bad guys we know of." Danny answered. "We need to go!"

"How?" Jazz asked.

"It's only barely lunch time now…" Tucker said as he loudly ate a meatball sub sandwich, earning mild looks of disapproval from the others. He shrugged innocently. "What?" He asked innocently. "I'm a growing boy!"

As they shook their heads at Tucker, Jazz had an idea.

"Isn't Danielle still in the basement?" She asked. "Maybe she can help us somehow?"

Danny Phantom phased into the basement from the ceiling.

He saw Dani eating a leg of turkey, with a few pieces of chicken legs, pork ribs and remains of beef.

"Uh… please tell me you didn't eat all that raw…" He went.

Dani saw him and smiled.

"Nah, I took advantage of the kitchen and heated it there…" She says.

"Well… I need your help." Danny said. "We need to get to Middleton to help Kim and we need to get the school closed fast. I gotta appear as Danny Fenton while it happens so I can avoid suspicion."

"Got it!" Dani said with a thumb's up. "I can set the fire alarm!"

"Not just that, think you can find anything else to make sure we don't go back in for the rest of the day?"

"I'll think of something." Dani said.

Danny nodded and flew up, phasing through the ceiling.

After quickly eating up the turkey leg, Dani got up.

Okay… She pondered. What to do? Fire alarm first though…

She then flew through the walls and found the fire alarm in the hallway.

"Okay… here we go!"

Dani pulled the alarm, causing it to go off.

This got all of the students and the faculty to take notice and started getting up.

Team Phantom smiled that what Danielle did is working.

Dani, meanwhile, thought and had an idea.

"Maybe if an actual fire went off?" She smiled. Then it became a grin. "This is starting to be a great idea!"

In 20 minutes, the firefighters were still combating the blaze.

Casper High was partially on fire, a fire that spread to the parking lot and may covered some cars in ash.

The students looked on in shock, while the faculty are in complete breakdown over most of their cars in a mess.

As far away, Danny and those closest to him also watch. Danielle, back in human form, had a haunted look in her eyes as she watched.

Jazz knelt down and whispered.

"I think you went too far there…"

Danielle looked sheepish.

"Well, at least no one got hurt..." Danielle said, though Jazz's expression didn't change, causing her to drop her sheepish grin. "Yeah… I agree…"

"Come on…" Danny said. "We better go." He then looked to Danielle to chide her. "But for future reference, if you are going to pull a fire alarm to cause a distraction... don't overdue it..."

"Right…" She agreed.

"So, how do we get to Middleton?" Sam asked.

"We can use the Specter Speeder. Mom and Dad are practicing some new gear." Jazz said.

"You guys go, Danielle and I will go first." Danny ordered.

Everyone nodded.

Both Phantoms soon found a hiding spot, change forms and then took to the skies.

The rest took Jazz's car.

Help was on the way.

With thanks to Flower princess11.

And now, part 1 of a major story part.

Part 2 coming soon...ish.

qazse: Yes indeed.

wiseguy2415: I actually did do a fanfiction where Danny met the Autobots. No specific versions. I am interested in doing a... well... better story than what I wrote. (Don't bother looking for it, the website I did it on went dead years ago).

MeteorElDrago: Let's hope they get together soon.

Jebest4781: Yes indeed. Kind of hilarious in hindsight that Danny Phantom is fighting dragons with Kim Possible, isn't it?

Luiz4200: It's Kim. She just doesn't like ANY girl around Danny.

Leonardo: I... don't really listen to Hartman. I don't really have much respect for him anymore for a variety of reasons, his kickstarter being one of them. I also don't like his ideas for their future or a revival (which I doubt he'd ever do since I doubt Nickelodeon would ever work with him again even if they do it), nor am I really fond of his designs. For comparison, I like Stephen Silver's version of 24 year old Danny more. It actually looks like Danny.

Guest: Much earlier, she set the first one free, only to learn it's a natural killing machine.

williamescobar608: Vas a descubir.

BeConFuzzled Writer: Shego's skeptical on the prize... for good reason.

Guest: Hmm... well, I have one where Danny meets the Incredibles... that I should update. Thanks but I might not be able to do that.

Zeckromizder: Thank you. I will add those in Kim's universe. MAYBE Miraculous and Doug since they aired on Nick and Disney.
