DANNY PHANTOM: THE ULTIMATE RETURN

Chapter 8: Dan's Return.

At Fenton Works, everyone has woken up to start the day. Danny has just put on his regular clothes along with a sweater, and his New York Yankees baseball cap. Steve was helping out Maddie in the kitchen. Maddie didn't want Steve to help her out, but he insist that he helps around the house. Jack was already in the lab working or fixing on some of the Fenton gadgets. Dani has just finished putting her hair in a ponytail and prepping for school and Jazz was reading some of her books. Danny is waiting for Sam, Tucker and Valerie to arrive.

"Okay, I'm off to school." Dani said.

"Wait, Dani, before you go." Danny said as he grabs a device from the table. "Take this."

"What's this?" Dani asked.

"Well since our ghost sense has a limited range, I can use this to contact you should there be any ghost trouble far away from the school. You can do the same for me." Danny said.

"Oh, thanks, Danny." Dani said before kissing him on the cheek. "See ya, big bro."

With that, Dani left for school and Danny just waited for his friends. Steve then showed up and sat on the couch.

"So, Steve, what are you gonna do?" Danny asked.

"I don't know. I'll probably stay here, help your parents out." Steve said.

"Well, I need you to lay low. It was risky for me to come back to Amity Park, but you being here, the Feds will be on to us." Danny said.

"What if a major ghost attack or invasion occurs? You know I'll help you on that case." Steve asked.

"Well, let's just hope that doesn't happen." Danny replied before leaving Steve.

Danny then head downstairs to the lab where he found Jack working on some new weapon.

"Hey, dad. What are you doing?" Danny asked.

"Just working on a new invention, son." Jack replied.

"What is it?" Danny asked.

"It's called the Fenton Railgun. It's design to shoot anti-ecto projectiles to a velocity of six kilometers per second. Those spooks won't know what hit them, or have time to react, just like those guns in that fighter jet video game of yours. What's it called again son?" Jack said.

"Ace Combat." Danny replied.

"Right." Jack said as Danny picks up the Fenton Railgun.

"Is it finished?" Danny asked.

"Just need some few adjustments and it's ready for action." Jack said with pride.

"Well, I'm gonna go hang out with Sam, Tucker and Valerie." Danny said.

"Be sure to cover yourself." Jack said.

"Don't worry. We won't be out for long." Danny said before leaving.

...

Meanwhile, at an alleyway between two buildings, a ghost portal opens before Dan Phantom and, once again, his second-in-command, the Fright Knight appears out of it.

"You know what to do." Dan said.

"Yes, master." the Fright Knight before he call upon his horse Nightmare and took off.

"Time to look around and see what this timeline has in store for me and my little sister. But first, a change in appearance." Dan said as he transformed into a man wearing a business suit.

Dan then walked around the streets of Amity Park. He was disgusted at how the citizens were enjoying their time, instead walking in fear in his timeline. After about 30 minutes of walking, Dan come across the statue of Danny holding the Earth. Dan stared at it in disgust.
