Thank you to everyone who supported The Mystery Phantom. I know this seems like a quick ending, but everything's gotta end and this seemed the best way to do it. So, here is the last chapter of The Mystery Phantom. Enjoy!:
X. Finale
"Oh my gosh, I remember now!" exclaimed Dipper. "I remember who I really am, and who my real family is. Despite my real memory returning, I also remember how to use my powers."
"Good, because you might have to," said Danielle.
"My memories are returning too," said Danny. "The ones reminding me that I'm the hero of Amity Park, not the villainous dictator."
"We remember that too," said Tucker via the earpiece.
"Yeah, sorry for giving you a hard time earlier," apologized Sam.
Suddenly, Dipper heard a scream come from the Mystery Shack.
"Uh oh, that can't be any good!" Dipper transformed into a human and ran inside the gift shop. Upon entering, he didn't see a single person.
"Grunkle Stan!" yelled Dipper. "Are you home?"
Suddenly, he was pulled into a circular rack of shirts.
Dipper was about to transform into a ghost when he realized that Wendy had pulled him in.
"Thank goodness you're here," said Wendy. "Two creepy ghosts had come. One had Mabel in a cage, but they both were looking for Stan."
Dipper and Wendy heard a yelp come from the living room.
"Looks like they found him," said Dipper. He grabbed Wendy's arm and pulled her out. "We'll have to fight back."
Wendy stared at Dipper. "Are you insane?"
"Don't worry, we won't be alone." As if on cue, Danny and Dani entered the Mystery Shack.
Dipper walked over to the two teenage ghosts and introduced them to Wendy. "These two are on our side," he said. "They'll help us defeat Vlad and Skulker."
"Who are Vlad and Skulker?" asked Wendy.
Before Dipper could answer, Skulker and Vlad phased through the wall into the Mystery Shack gift shop. Vlad and Skulker each held a cage. One had Mabel, the other had Grunkle Stan.
"What are you doing here?" snarled Danny.
"Doing what I do best," replied Skulker. "Ghost hunting. And you, Dani, and the girly boy will be my catch of the month."
"How about the catch of the never!" said Dipper.
"Really?" said Wendy. "That's the best you could come up with?"
"Cut him some slack, he's new," said Dani.
"New or not, the battle between you three and I has been way too easy," said Vlad.
"Well it's about to get a lot harder," snarled Dipper. "I'm going ghost!" He transformed into a ghost, much to the surprise of Wendy.
"Oh, how adorable, you have the same battle cry as Daniel," said Vlad.
"Well let's see how adorable your face is when I'm done pummeling it!" Dipper held out both hands and blasted two green beams of ecto-energy at Vlad, who calmly put up a single hand to create a purple force field that would block the attack.
"I know you just got your memory back, but I hope you know that I'm still far more superior than you," said Vlad. "Observe." He created three duplicates. Each of them zapped Dani, Daniel, and Dipper with a beam of purple ecto-energy.
Dipper, Dani, and Danny were thrown backwards into the wall.
Wendy ran over to them and knelt beside them. "Are you three okay?"
Dipper nodded. "Go get more people to help us fight. We can use all the help we can get."
"Got it," Wendy bolted out of the Mystery Shack.
"You guys should follow her example," taunted the four Vlads. "Run while you still can."
"Oh, I'll run alright," said Danny. "Just not away from you." He flew forward, punched the three duplicates and kicked the original Vlad into the wall, causing him to drop Mabel's cage.
"Looks like it's time for a full out war," Skulker dropped the cage that Grunkle Stan was in and fired several missiles towards Dipper and Dani.
"Watch where you fire those things," snapped Stanford. "Repairing this building isn't cheap."
Dipper and Dani both dove out of the projectiles' paths. Then, both of them turned around, got on one knee, and blasted beams of ecto-energy at Skulker, causing him to scream and fall to the floor.
"Weak!" screeched Vlad as he hurled purple discs of ecto-energy at Danny. "You can't let little kids take you down that easy!"
"Shut up, Cheese head!" Danny dodged Vlad's attacks and punched him to the floor.
Then, Danny pulled out his ghost thermos. "Dipper! Dani! Catch." He tossed the thermos towards them.
About halfway there, Skulker jumped up and blocked the thermos. "Ha! Rejected!"
The thermos landed next to Mabel's cage. "Ooh, I wonder what this does." She pulled of the cap.
The opening happened to be pointed towards Skulker, so the thermos pulled him in. "Nooooooo!" he screamed.
"Cool!" Mabel closed the thermos once Skulker was completely inside.
"That was pathetic!" Vlad dodged a couple of Danny's punches and threw him to the ground. "But I know I can defeat the three of you on my own."
"I don't think so," said Dipper. "This battle will become one whale of a tale."
Danny went to stand next to Dipper and Dani.
"Dipper's right," said Danny. "If one ghostly wail is painful, imagine how painful three at once would be."
Vlad sighed. "Oh poo."
Danny, Dipper and Danielle took a deep breath and all three emitted a ghostly wail that pushed Vlad up against the wall, causing him to turn into a human.
After a few seconds, all three ghostly wails stopped and Dipper, Daniel and Dani all collapsed to the floor. Each of them reverted back to their human form.
"Hooray!" cheered Mabel.
Vlad suddenly stood up and began to stride angrily towards Dipper, Dani, and Daniel.
"Oh no!" said Mabel. "Dipper get up! Vlad's not done!"
Suddenly, the door to the Mystery Shack burst open and Wendy, Lee, Thompson, Tambry, and Nate ran in, throwing water balloons at Vlad.
"Blargh! What is the meaning of this?" Vlad retreated as Wendy and her friends advanced.
"Alright, time to defeat him for once and for all," said Danny. Once the water balloons ran out, Danny ran over to Vlad and put the spector-deflector around his waist.
"No!" shouted Vlad. "This can't be happening! Being defeated in this manner is so humiliating!"
Danny slapped Vlad in such a way that he passed out. "That should keep him quiet."
Dipper walked over to Vlad, reached into his blazer, and pulled out the key that would free Mabel and Grunkle Stan.
"Well, we defied all odds and defeated Vlad and Skulker," said Dani. "I think we should mark this as a major win."
"Yes," said Dipper. "Yes we should."
The good-byes had been quick. Danielle and Danny exchanged quick hugs with Dipper and Mabel before flying back to Amity Park.
Over the course of the next few weeks, the twins' powers began to fade away. After two months, all Dipper could do was transform into a ghost and fly. Mabel could also fly, but she could only turn into certain ghost animals.
Around that time, Dipper and Mabel had been taking a walk along the beach of Lake Gravity Falls. Suddenly, a ghost flew out of the ground in front of them.
"I am the Box Ghost!" proclaimed the ghost. "I will make you tremble in fear with my boxes!"
"Should we be scared of him?" asked Dipper.
Mabel shook her head. "Nope. According to the guide Danny gave me, the Box Ghost is all talk, but no bite. Besides, Danny also gave me a thermos."
Dipper transformed into a ghost. "Alright then. Let's use the rest of our dwindling powers to kick this sucker's butt."
Mabel pulled out the ghost thermos. "Definitely."
