Hey! Update at long last! Hope you guys are still reading this. It should be over in one, maybe two more chapters. I will try to finish it. Don't worry about that.

Oh and I don't own ATLA or DP

Danny gasped as his ghost sense went off and he glanced around but saw nothing out of the ordinary.

Vlad cringed before turning away "I have done something very wrong Daniel. This world is about to be destroyed."

Danny walked along the empty street before stumbling back in horror as Dan Phantom appeared before him "Go away. Your not real." he said angrily. Dan however smirked "They'll all die. And it will be your fault." he said before Danny jolted out of his nightmare.

Danny frowned as he watched the scene play out before him "I still don't get what this has to do with me." he said. Clockwork also frowned "You must help Aang defeat the Fire Lord."

The serpent was pelted by a fireball and for a moment Sokka could have sworn it's red eyes flashed to green before it went under water to attack the other ship.

Vlad looked away from Danny "I found a clock tower. In it I stole a medallion, and I found a beaten up thermos that I also stole." he said quietly.

Katara looked down, her eyes blank "What about when we fix this whole mess? You'll have to choose a world." she said quietly.

Danny looked forward with a serious look "Sometimes in battle we may not have water but it's said that even in the driest areas you always have enough water to cry. And with water bending that could save us." he said.

"You've got to keep an open mind you two. There's water in places you never think about." Hama said ominously.

"That night I realized that you had stolen most of my heart." Katara whispered.

"It's bad enough that you don't trust me and that alone is tearing at the group." Danny told katara.

Katara hesitated for a moment before meeting Danny's eyes "Before I probably would have said no but...I trust Danny and if he trusts Zuko then I trust his judgement." she said.

Jazz blinked, looking at Katara "Danny's right. You do have a really sinister side." she commented.

Sam turned around, leaning on the railing "All I had back there was Danny and Tucker. I was always the outcast, the rebel, the loser. Here I'm a somebody. Heck, even my own family looked down on me." she said.

"He's a ghost from my own world and a...part of me, in a way. I'm the only one who can defeat him." Danny said.

Vlad sighed, looking away before wincing "I...know what you need to do." he said solemnly. Danny nodded as Vlad whispered the plan before Danny's eyes widened in alarm.

And now, let the chapter commence...

Katara sighed as the others filed inside leaving her and Danny alone with just the crickets for company. And Appa of course. Though peering in the darkness she shifted uneasily as she spotted the shirshu that had attacked them so long ago.

Uneasily she turned to Danny who looked up at her with a tired smile "I'm sorry." he whispered.

But Katara shook her head, smiling softly "No. It's not your fault. After all, Danielle and Aang are missing and if you weren't sick the you may have gone missing too. And honestly I am glad you didn't disappear." she said softly.

Danny nodded gratefully, gripping her hand "Thanks Katara. For being here for me. And for choosing to forgive me." he said softly.

Katara smiled softly at that "In all honesty...I wanted to. You really have been an amazing person. Through all of this. This whole adventure. And I really appreciate everything you've done. For all of us." she said quietly.

Danny nodded at that, smiling softly before looking up at the stars with a frown "But do you think we could really win this? We have two days to take down the most powerful man in history." he said softly.

Katara nodded "Yes. I know we can win." she said.

Danny sighed before sitting up "Hey Katara...what if I said that I needed to go and fight this ghost. On my own. I know a way to beat him but it's something only I can do." he said softly.

Katara frowned, shooting him a soft glare "Then I'd insist on coming with as back up. You can't go in completely alone. Danielle is with Aang and I'm sure everyone will divide into groups. If they need another water bender they still have Sam." she pointed out.

Her face then softened into a caring look "Danny...I trust you. I mean I really trust you. And if you got hurt I don't think I would know what to do. If you were to go into battle like this alone then I would never be able to live with myself. We can be a team. And a really good one too." she said softly. Danny sighed, completely taken in by Katara's softer side.

He knew she had a point and he knew that he would have a hard time of it on his own... "Alright. But if I say run you run. And if I say hide you hide. Okay?" he asked.

Katara smiled innocently "Of course." she said sweetly.

Danny frowned ever so slightly before shaking it off, sighing as he reached into a pack, pulling out a notebook "There is one more thing that needs to be done." he said solemnly.

Katara nodded "Name it." she said.

Danny looked down with a heavy sigh "We have to leave now. Vlad said that Dan will be in the Fire Nation capital. We need to fight him there. But to avoid others joining we have to leave before they know." he said.

katara nodded unquestioningly "You'll leave them a note, right?" she asked.

Danny nodded, his shoulders drooping in relief "Of course. I would never abandon my friends without even the slightest explanation." he told her.

break

Sam frowned as they entered the strange tavern "Um...what's this?" she asked.

Zuko frowned "I heard about her on my travels. She will hunt down any person and without fail. For a cost." he said.

Tucker frowned, patting down his pockets "Uh...we don't have any money." he pointed out.

But Zuko continued forward to a young woman who looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Jun?" Zuko asked.

The young woman leaned back "Depends. What do you need?" he asked.

Zuko sighed "We need to find someone. And immediately. The fate of the world depends on it. Two in fact. But they are together. We don't have any gold at the moment but I promise that if you do this I will pay double your weight in gold." he said.

Jun sighed, leaning back in her chair "Been there, heard that. Get lost." she said.

She then looked up as a sack of gold plopped down on the table and Toph smirked "Consider this a down payment." she said easily, earning startled looks from her friends.

Jun looked at her suspiciously "Who are you?" she asked.

Toph just smirked "Toph Bei Fong. Of the Bei Fong family. And trust me, you will get the rest." she said.

Jun smirked at that before standing "You have a deal." she said easily. She then rose to her feet, heading outside with the group.

Almost immediately though Sam stopped "Uh...where are Danny and Katara?" she asked, a hint of steel in her voice. Jazz cringed, jumping up towards the basket while Sam groaned.

Jazz paled at seeing a note. Without hesitation she picked it up, reading it out loud :

Everyone, We have decided it would be best for us to defeat Dan on our own. He is a powerful spirit and I don't want anyone to get hurt. But I promise that we will be back. And in case your wondering, Katara came along with but just as a medic. So don't worry, we'll be back safe and sound before you know it. Danny and Katara.

Sokka looked at Jazz's dejected expression carefully "We could try to find them." he offered quietly. After all, his sister was out there too.

But Jazz shook her head "We don't have time. Besides, Danny knows what he's doing." she said.

She then turned to Jun "What do we need to do?" she asked.

Jun rolled her eyes "I need a scent sample of whoever it is that needs finding." she said.

Jazz smiled brightly as she lifted up an item in question "I have Aang's staff, and Danielle's clothes from prison." she said, tossing them down to Jun who easily caught them, taking them over to a fierce looking animal that sniffed both items curiously. The group watched with bated breath as the animal walked in circles, sniffing the ground. This just had to work.

Suddenly the creature stopped, whining and holding it's nose "Well what does that mean?" Valerie asked in annoyance.

Jun looked at them in annoyance "That your friend doesn't exist. Am I still getting paid for pranks?" she asked.

Zuko frowned before looking thoughtful "What about my uncle? If anyone would know what to do it's him." he said.

Valerie looked at him thoughtfully "Do you have a smell sample?" she asked.

Zuko shifted slightly before hurrying up onto Appa and digging into his pack to pull out an old and smelly sandal "Will this work?" he asked.

Valerie shot him a dry look "You saved your uncles shoe?" she asked.

Toph however smiled "I think it's kinda sweet." she commented. The creature however jumped forward, sniffing the shoe before smiling.

Jun smirked as she jumped onto the creatures back "Hope you can keep up. Nyla's got the trail." she said. Quickly the others scrambled onto Appa before taking off at the same time as Nyla and easily keeping pace.

break

Katara held on to Danny as he flew through the night. Not with his glider but on his own power. Both their faces held determined looks. They were ready for this. "So how are you going to beat him?" she asked over the wind.

Danny flinched before reaching into a pocket and grabbing a small gun from his world "Vlad gave me this. It only has one shot. But anything ectoplasmic the ray hits will be destroyed." he said.

Katara frowned "Including you?" she asked.

Danny nodded, looking troubled "Including me." he consented.

He then handed her the gun "Which is why I will have you shoot. If you see any opening, any at all. just shoot." he said gravely.

Katara took the gun cautiously, nodding with her eyes serious and grave "I won't let you down. Just show me how to use it." she said. Danny nodded at that, thanks shining in his eyes.

break

The remaining members of the group traveled till sun down.

Arriving at their destination in almost record time. "Ba Sing Se. Great. I almost feel like this means something is definetly going to go wrong." Sam said sarcastically.

Jun looked at them with a frown "Your Uncle's somewhere beyond the wall. Nyla's getting twitchy so he can't be too far. I still get paid right?" she asked in annoyance.

Toph smirked "Naturally. Contact me as soon as this wars over. Shouldn't be much longer. Just a few more days at max." she said. Jun nodded in acceptance before taking off. For a moment Zuko watched her before turning to look at the city, it's wall destroyed from when the fire benders entered the city.

He seemed hesitant about entering but finally Valerie put a hand on his shoulder, smiling softly "It's been a long day. Let's camp for tonight. We can always search tomorrow." she told him softly.

Zuko sighed, turning away from the city "Yeah. Good idea." he said.

break

For the majority of the night it passed quietly. All of them were enjoying the peace and quiet and taking their chance to get the last few bits of sleep they could. With the comet approaching there was no telling how much more sleep they could get. And apparently for tonight...this wasn't the right time either. "Someone's here." Toph said abruptly, jolting them out of their sleep. They all stood defensively as fire began surrounding their camp site, forcing them to close in.

However their attention was drawn by a group of four figures that moved above their heads on the rocks over looking them. "Well, look who's here." Bumi said, grinning. Small and hopeful smiles began to build on their lips as they saw familiar faces.

Besides Bumi Piandao and Salaya also stood there, looking at them with fond looks. "I'm glad you made it here safely." Salaya said.

Valerie raised an eyebrow, looking at them curiously "You guys know these guys?" she asked.

Jazz nodded eagerly, hurrying to Salaya with a smile "They are old friends. And thank you, for your training Salaya. It's was truly an honor working under you." she said.

Sokka nodded, bowing honorably to Piandao " Master Piandao." he greeted respectfully.

Piandao bowed back "Hello Sokka." he said in return.

Jazz then frowned, looking from Salaya and Piandao to Bumi "I wasn't aware that you guys knew each other." she said in puzzlement.

Bumi however smiled in his normally goofy way "All old people know each other. Didn't you know that?" he asked.

Piandao frowned at him before turning to them with his usual patient smile "We are all part of the same ancient secret society. A group that transcends the divisions of the four nations." he said.

Zuko smiled softly "The Order of the White Lotus." he said softly.

Bumi grinned eagerly "That's the one!" he chipped in eagerly.

Jeong Jeong shot him a patronizing look that was ignored "The White Lotus has always been about philosophy, and beauty, and truth. About a month ago, a call was sent out that we were needed for something important." he said.

Pakku nodded, looking at Zuko "It came from a Grand Lotus, your uncle, Iroh of the Fire Nation." he said, drawing a fond smile from Zuko.

Toph also grinned "Well that's who we're looking for." she explained. Piandao nodded "In that case we will take you to him." he said.

But before they could Bumi frowned, looking around critically "Wait, Someone's missing. Someone very important." he said before moving to be almost face to face with Sokka "Where's Momo?" he demanded.

Sokka looked nervously at his sister and Jazz who shrugged "He's gone. And so is Aang and Danielle." he said.

Bumi shrugged at that, immediately backing off "Oh well, so long as they have each other I'm sure we have nothing to worry about." he said before heading away from them.

Break

Katara frowned as she looked up, seeing Danny's face pale and exhausted looking "We need to stop for the night." she said softly.

Danny looked at her before looking ahead "We can't." he said.

But Katara shook her head "Danny, I'm here as a medic and I will tell you right now you can't fight like this. Your still ill. You have to take a break." she said softly.

Danny frowned before sighing, lowering to the ground and landing near a cave "We'll rest here for the night. And head out at first light. Is that agreeable to you?" he asked.

Katara nodded in relief "Yes. And then we will take him down. I promise." she said.

break

Jazz smiled as she walked next to Salaya "It really is great to see you again. How have you been?" she asked.

Salaya smiled, looking down at her in amusement "It's been interesting. I hear a lot has happened since we parted. An invasion of the capitol, a break out of the 'inescapable prison', a water bender who can bend the blood in people being arrested by another water bender, and many more." she said.

Jazz blushed "That was all of us actually." she said sheepishly.

Salaya nodded before looking at her critically "So where is Danny and Katara?" she asked.

Jazz frowned at that "I...I don't know. There is a powerful spirit that was let loose on this world and Danny is the only one who can stop it. He's the only one who has faced it down and survived. I think him and Katara went to fight and stop it. Though if I understand the note correctly Katara is just a medic but I think that means she gave Danny no choice." she said.

Salaya nodded "Does she trust him then?" she asked.

Jazz nodded firmly at that "Yes. Without a doubt she now trusts him with not only her life but the lives of those she loves." she said confidently.

Salaya nodded at that, her eyes twinkling "I knew she would come around someday. SHe seemed to trust him subconsciously but it's the conscious mind we sometimes have the hardest time convincing." she said.

Jazz nodded at that "I know what you mean. Our whole group has had it's issues but by now we all trust each other inexplicably. And really, I'm grateful for it." she said softly. After all, they were a family. And family should trust each other. It made them a better team and a stronger fighting force. They were a team to fear.

Salaya nodded "In that case you can properly fight." she said firmly.

She then looked ahead "And to do that, we will help." she said as they stepped into the camp.

Immediately Zuko glanced around, his eyes both hopeful and worried "Where...where is he?" he asked, his voice hoarse.

Immediately Valerie touched his shoulder in comfort while Piandao pointed to a big sheltered tent at the end of the campsite "He's in there, Prince Zuko." he said. Zuko nodded absently, heading towards the tent before stopping, unable to convince himself to go further.

Seeing that Valerie approached him "Are you okay?" she asked.

Zuko shook his head "No, I'm not okay. My uncle hates me, I know it. He loved me and supported me in every way he could and I still turned against him. How can I even face him?" he asked regretfully.

Valerie sighed before looking up thoughtfully at the stars "Well you see, that's the funny thing about family. They love you, they support you, but when you screw up they still stay with you. And don't bother mentioning Ozai and Azula, because they aren't family. It's true family that you count on. Someone who stays with you thick and thin. They may get mad at you sometimes but when you come around, they forgive you in a heartbeat." she said softly.

Zuko looked at her hopefully and she nodded towards the tent "Give it a try. You'll see. I bet he's forgiven you long ago. Now it's only time for you to forgive yourself." she said softly.

Zuko nodded at that, the confidence coming back to his eyes as he turned to the tent, taking a deep breath before entering "Uncle." he said softly as he entered.

But the sight that greeted him was Iroh laying with his back to Zuko, snoring loudly as usual. Zuko smiled softly at that before moving to sit in the middle of the tent. He could wait.

break

Danny frowned as he stared out into the rising sun. Tonight, was the comet. He could only hope everyone survived.

Behind him he heard Katara stir sleepily before looking at him curiously "How long have you been up?" she asked.

Danny shook his head "Not long. Maybe a half hour. I was watching the sun rise." he said.

Katara nodded, moving to stand besides him "It's beautiful." she said softly.

She then looked at him calculatingly "Are you ready to do this?" she asked.

Danny took a deep breath before sighing, his eyes glowing green in determination "Yes. yes I am. I know I can beat him. And I know Aang will beat Ozai. I have faith in all of our abilities. We'll see each other soon." he said.

Katara smiled, feeling his confidence as it helped her feel more confident "Yeah. Your right. We will all succeed without a doubt." she said.

Danny nodded once more "In that case let's go." he said.

break

Valerie sighed as they woke up bright and early.

She took the opportunity to stretch before laying down on the cool grass. "Zuko still with his uncle?" someone asked.

Valerie looked up with a smile "Yeah. He's still in there. Chances are Iroh was asleep. They may miss each other but both know we have a time limit." she said, her face growing troubled.

Jazz nodded solemnly "Yeah. That's true. Let's just hope nobody misses it." she said softly, worried about her brother and the others.

Valerie nodded "I'm sure they will all make it." she said with a smile, looking over as Zuko and Iroh exited the tent, both looking calm and relaxed.

Valerie smiled at that, looking at Jazz "See? Everything does work out just fine." she said softly. Jazz nodded, getting up and moving to where everyone was starting to gather for breakfast.

They got there just in time to hear Zuko ask Iroh a question "And then...then would you come and take your rightful place on the throne?" he asked.

Valerie hesitated, looking questioningly at Iroh who shook his head "No. Someone new must take the throne. An idealist with a pure heart and unquestionable honor. It has to be you, Prince Zuko." he said. Valerie smiled at that, knowing that he may not take it the best.

But Zuko looked at Valerie before looking at the rest of the gang before nodding "I'll try uncle." he said softly.

Toph then frowned 'Well in that case what if Aang doesn't come back?" she asked, leaning closer to Tucker. while Sam shivered.

Iroh frowned, but his eyes were confident "Sozin's Comet is arriving and our destinies are upon us. Aang will face the Fire Lord. When I was a boy, I had a vision that I would one day take Ba Sing Se. Only now do I see that my destiny is to take it back from the Fire Nation so the Earth Kingdom can be free again." he said.

Sam nodded "That's why you gathered the members of the White Lotus." she commented.

Iroh nodded before turning to Zuko "Zuko, you must return to the Fire Nation so that when the Fire Lord falls, you can assume the throne and restore peace and order. But Azula will be there, waiting for you." he said.

Zuko looked up confidently "I can handle Azula." he said.

Iroh however shook his head "Not alone. You'll need help." he said.

Zuko looked surprised at that before nodding, turning to Sam and Valerie "You're right. Valerie, Sam, how would you like to put Azula in her place?" he asked.

Valerie smirked "I can handle that." she said.

Sam also nodded "Count me in." she said.

Sokka then frowned "What about us? What's our destiny today?" he asked curiously, motioning towards Jazz, Tucker, Toph, and himself.

Iroh smiled mysteriously "What do you think it is?" he asked.

Sokka frowned, looking at Jazz who nodded, her eyes blazing "We'll target the airships. That fleet needs to be stopped." she said.

Toph smirked, grabbing Tuckers hand "And that means when Aang does face the Fire Lord we'll be right there if he needs us." she said.

break

Soon after they were ready to go.

Zuko, Sam, and Valerie on Appa and Jazz, Sokka, Toph, and Tucker on a giant eel-hound. "Nothing runs faster over land or swims quicker than a giant eel-hound. The airship base is on a small island just off the Earth Kingdom shore. You should be able to intercept the fleet within a days journey." he said, handing the map to Sokka who bowed respectfully "Thank you Master." he said.

Jazz also nodded to Salaya "And thank you, for your help." she said.

Salaya smiled "Don't worry. We'll meet again." she said.

Zuko then turned to Iroh "So if I'm to be Fire Lord after the war is over, what are you going to do?" he asked.

Iroh smirked, flipping a white lotus tile in the air "After I re-conquer Ba Sing Se I'm going to re-conquer my tea shop and I'm going to play Pai Sho everyday." he said.

Everyone smiled at that and Valerie bowed her head in respect "Good bye, General Iroh." she said.

Iroh nodded "Goodbye, everyone. Today, destiny is our friend. I know it." he said.

break

Katara looked up as they neared their destination. Danny's eyes were blazing in determination as they neared. It was the airship fleet. But above it, watching the procedure. Was Dan. "I'm going to lure him away. And then we'll get him." he said, throwing a blast to catch Dan's attention.

Katara nodded as he turned to them. And just like that, the chase was on. break On Appa, Zuko was staring ahead grimly, his eyes firmly fixed on their destination.

Seeing that Valerie touched his shoulder "Don't worry. We can take Azula." she comforted.

Zuko's frown just increased "I'm not worried about her, I'm worried about Aang. What if he doesn't have the guts to take out my father? What if he loses?" he asked.

Sam frowned, her eyes matching the direction "Aang won't lose. He's going to come back. He has to." she said in determination.
