- You don't get it, do you? I'm still here. Still exist. That means you still turn into me!
After that sentence, all that Danny felt was constant fear through his body, mind, and soul. It took a lot out of him, but Dark Dan was in the thermos and he had a moment of glory, a moment to think that it was over. But it wasn't, all his loved ones were still strapped to the boiling tank of nasty sauce. He ran, he forced his tired muscles to move towards them.
It was a sad moment because everyone knew that he wouldn't make it in time. So, with their last second of life, they conveyed all they could through their eyes. Danny didn't want to give up, but he understood the love and acceptance that they were trying to convey. The worst part was the silent and collective plea that almost broke Danny's heart: "Save yourself...live for us!". Danny was tempted to ignored it and keep running towards them, but he couldn't go against their last wish. He stopped running and just stood in the middle of the street, waiting for the disaster to happen. It didn't take long for it to start blowing up, but he couldn't see, there was a hand blocking the scene and soon a calm voice follows it.
- Danny, I am unable to stop this event, but as a reward for your service, I will give a few hours with your loved ones. Afterward, they must move on and you will reawaken in the physical world. I am sorry, Danny, but this is all that I can do.
- Clockwork, what about after that? - asked Danny in a barely audible voice
- Then you will straighten things in Amity with the help of Vlad and then leave to join a team of heroes to make them a truth family.
- There's no other way?
- Everything's the way it's supposed to be!
Then with a tick-tock of Clockwork's staff, six souls disappeared and one more temporarily left his body. Now with a wave of the staff, a special barrier appeared to protect Danny's body and a second later the explosion continued like it was never on pause. Clockwork watched the police and paramedics arrived at the scene and didn't leave until the paramedics took care of Danny's body (that had a few unimportant scratches and one gash on his left side).
Afterward, he appears on an island that could have been mistaken for one of the islands in the Ghost Zone, but the truth was that it was a non-existing space created from Clockwork's power. In front of him were the six souls that he took and Danny, they all looked at him for a second and then continue talking.
- ...and that's how I became a Halfa. - said Danny
- Sweety, we're so proud of you and I'm really sorry that you had to go through all of this alone. - said Maddie
- Hey, what are we potatoes or something? - exclaim Sam with Jazz nodding behind her
- Excuse you, I would be a nice piece of steak or some baby pork ribs, mmmm. - said Tucker earning a laugh from everyone except Sam that had a grimace of disgust
- And what's going to happen now? - asked Jazz while looking at Danny and the shifting her gaze towards Clockwork
- All of you will move on and Danny will awaken from his coma like state.
- To kill a Mockingbird, but what is going to happen to Mr. Fenton? As soon as he reawakens he will be an orphan. - exclaim Mr. Lancer
- Mr. Lancer, do you really believe that we didn't have anything planned if something happens to us? - asked an angry Maddie
- Well, I would like to believe that you did. - said Mr. Lancer
- Oh! Well, good! Because we made wills that state that Danny's custody is to be given to my step-brother Tony... - said Maddie before being interrupted by Jack
