"Are we all finally here?", asked an irritated, middle-aged ghost from the head of the table. Vlad Masters was trying to call the meeting to order, and a chorus of 'here's' sounded from around the table at his question.

The meeting was being held in the ghost zone, on one of the many detached, floating pieces of land. On this particular land piece was a castle, owned by Fright Knight, who had lent it to the many ghosts who were gathering for a similar reason. Now they were siting around a grandly carved stone table in the middle of the castle's dining room.

Vlad stood up and started to say regally, "Now we all are here for the same goal-"

"To get rid of that scrawny half-ghost!", Skulker interrupted gruffly, receiving a round of howls and grunt of agreement. Vlad glared at the hunter, but continued with a slight menacing tone to his voice, "Yes, to destroy Danny Phantom, and the reason why I called this meeting was to propose an idea to achieve said goal." The red-eyed ghost looked around for someone to disagree.

Fortunately, many of the ghosts attending the meeting already knew the victim record of Vlad Masters, and kept quiet, waiting for him to launch into his supposed 'genius' idea. Most of the individuals attending had just come out of curiosity, all of them had tried to get rid of the ghost kid, but all had failed miserably, being defeated and put back into the ghost zone.

Now Vlad had called a meeting, saying he needed the attention of all ghosts in Amity Park.

"As you all know, Daniel is a teenage boy.", Vlad began, walking slowly around the table, much like a large predator going around a herd of prey.

"Meaning he is susceptible to hormones, like any other boy his age." Around the table a few of the ghosts nodded, not knowing where Vlad was going with this, but eager to hear more.

"What does that have to do with defeating him?", asked Youngblood indigently. Vlad sighed, taking pity on the young ghost's innocence. "It has everything to do with his defeat, if my weapon is this." He dug into his coat pocket and pulled out a manila folder, opened it, and took out a photo.

Throwing it onto the table's surface, all of the ghosts crowded around to see the image of the ultimate weapon. Only to see that the photo was of a teenage girl. The photo was taken secretly, seeing as the girl was turned toward a shop window and the setting was a crowded street. The girl was pretty, but a human nonetheless.

"What's the meaning of this Masters? You called us here just to joke about sending a puny girl against Phantom?", Spectra asked, confusion and rising anger evident in her voice. Vlad had sat back and watched their reactions with amusement.

"That is where you're wrong my dear, she isn't a 'puny girl', she's a supernatural vampire.", Vlad selected his words carefully. Everyone raised an eyebrow or looked at the photo scrutinizingly.

"A human girl like this, a vampire?", Skulker began cackling loudly. Vlad shook his head, "Not a blood sucking vampire, an energy vampire, more particularly a vampire who feeds on souls, including ghosts." A few of those assembled gasped at the idea of being food for what looked like a meer human. A sinister smile spread over Vlad's face. "If my plan goes right, Phantom will let himself fall right into her hands, long enough for her to destroy both his human and ghost halves."

He continued pacing around the table."Imagine, the town of Amity Park destroyed, overrun by it's soulless citizens, and Daniel will have to watch the destruction of it all, and in the end, he will be decimated, and it is all yours for the taking." He gestured to all of them, all of the ghosts that had haunted the town and had been chased from their homes by the ghost boy.

"Didn't Walker already try that?", asked Ember, her flaming hair flickering. Vlad nodded, "Yes, I believe he did, but he was a ghost, easily put back into the ghost zone. This is still a living thing, Daniel will have to use other measures to get rid of her, if he can.", he chuckled darkly.

"And what do you get Masters, you can't tell us that you don't want anything out of this.", Desiree said with narrow eyes. Vlad smiled, "Oh, you know me too well. Yes, I do intend to get something out of this, but you can be assured that it isn't of any use to you.", Vlad promised.

'It shouldn't be too hard to pull Maddy out of the destruction of the city, especially with her entire family dead.', Vlad thought evilly.

The ghosts looked at each other once again. "All those in favor of going through with this, raise your hand.", Vlad called out over them. Slowly hands were raised, until at last everyone had agreed.

"Then I will send for her, let her do as I instruct her to do and stay out of her way, when the time comes for Phantom's downfall I'm sure you will know.", Vlad called the meeting to a close. Going through the doors and into the open ghost zone, the man started whistling as he returned to his home in Wisconsin to make a very important phone call.
