Season 3 Episode 1

Eye for an Eye

"Cast Your Vote for HORROR!"

One day at Madison, Wisconsin, a cement truck drove away from the newly built mansion for the billionairess villainess half-ghost, Vladia Plasmius, hovered in front of her new house. Her last one got exploded from Dani Fenton and her older brother, James', last encounter with her, so she had to stay at her log cabin for a while.

"At last, my new mansion is complete." Vladia said before she phased into her new home and into her master bedroom. "Bigger and better than it was before." She then phased into her new kitchen, which looked stunningly more cleaner and shiner than any other kitchen in a normal home. "Everything is absolute state of the art." She then phased through the floor, into the bottom level of her new underground ghost, decorated with Packers-related themes of her favorite football team. "Including my new subterranean ghost lab, completely undetectable to prying eyes."

Vladia finally phased into her new library and changed back into her human form as Vladia Masters; she looked around and looked up at her portrait of herself. "This showplace is the pure embodiment of me. Larger than life, reeking of money and power...and totally impenetrable." Suddenly, she felt rumbling coming outside, making her gasp and confused greatly. "WHAT IN BLAZES?!"

A giant tank crashed through the walls and fireplace, making Vladia blink in confusion. It was then revealed that is was the Guys in White, who have oddly arrived at Wisconsin all the way from Amity Park.

"Operation White Wall is go! Tear this place apart! If there's ghost contraband, we'll find it!" Agent O ordered their men as they ran into the mansion with mallet hammers in their hands.

"See here, I demand an explanation!"

"Save it for the slow and painful interrogation, rich girl!" Agent K snapped at the woman.

The Guys in White began to smash all of Vladia's new furniture she has already bought for her new mansion when it was just completed.

"NOOOOOO!" Her entire mansion crumbled and collapsed to the ground, now Vladia has lost her home she has already paid for and was just recently completed. "My precious house! Ruined! AGAIN!" She hugged a couple of her books.

Agents O and K seemed to be looking for something, but found nothing. "Funny, no sign of ecto-material anywhere...guess that Fenton kid was wrong." Agent K said to his partner.

Vladia's eyes went wide when she overheard what the agent just said. "'Fenton kid'?" She then glared angrily when she realized who has tricked the Guys in White into trashing her new mansion. "Oh, so that's it...alright then, Danielle...game on!" She then smiled politely at the agents. "You know, it's funny you should mention the Fentons, gentlemen…"

Hundreds of miles away from Madison at Amity Park in Fenton Works, Dani Fenton and her best friends, Sam Manson and Tina Foley (who were all now fifteen years old), were watching the news from Dani's room as they witnessed their little prank they pulled on Vladia.

"Although no ecto-contraband was found, it's certain that the mansion itself didn't stand a ghost of a chance against the government onslaught. Now, onto the upcoming mayoral election-" Shelly Makamoto announced on the news until Dani powered off her computer.

Dani and Tina both burst into laughter while Sam only frowned at them, not finding the prank funny. "Oh man, that's got to be the greatest practical joke ever!" Tina exclaimed as she wiped a tear from her eye.

"YES! I really nailed Vladia off her high horse this time! I mean, can you even imagine her face when the Feds busted in on her like that?" Dani laughed out loud.

Suddenly, the Guys in White crashed through Dani's bedroom walls, surprising and confusing the trio greatly. "Nobody move! This is a rad!" Agent O ordered.

Sam then frowned at Dani as he crossed his arms. "Oh...I think I have a pretty good idea." He said sarcastically.

Theme Song:

(She's a phantom)

(Dani Phantom, Phantom, Phantom)

Yo, Dani Fenton, she was just fourteen
When her parents built a very strange machine
Designed to view a world unseen

(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)

When it didn't work, her folks, they just quit
Then Dani took a look inside of it
There was a great, big flash, and everything changed
Her molecules got all rearranged

(Phantom, Phantom)

When she first woke up, she realized she had snow white hair, and glowing green eyes
She could walk through walls, disappear, and fly
She was much more unique than the other gals
And it was then that she knew what she had to do
She had to stop all the ghost that were coming through
She's there to fight, for me and you!

(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)
(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)
(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)

The Guys in White began trashing Dani's room just like they did with Vladia's mansion. Sam once described the government agents as being zealous, so they had no respect for citizen-related rules and just attack on sight, no matter if an innocent person was in the way.

"Hey, that my computer!" Dani exclaimed as the agents continued to smash her furniture. "My bed! My dresser!"

Agent O was about to demolish Dani's TV, until the door suddenly swung open as he smacked Jackie Fenton on the head instead. "OW!" She exclaimed.

"MY MOM!"

Her parents, Jackie and Matt, entered their daughter's room when they heard all the rackets coming from her room while Jackie rubbed her head. "Dani, what on earth is going on?" Matt demanded.

His wife then noticed the Guys in White and smiled brightly. "Cool, the Guys in White are trashing our house! They're my heroes!" She said cluelessly.

Matt gave her a correcting glare. "Jackie!"

"I mean, uh...quit trashing our house!" She then noticed a gun strapped to Agent O's back. "Hey...is that the Ecto-Annihilator forty-seven?! Those things rock!"

"Stand down, Fenton! Our intel says you're harboring fugitives!" Agent O snapped.

"We're shutting you down...lock-stock and ghost lab." Agent K added.

Jackie blocked the exit as she glared. "No way! You'll get to my lab over my…" She began, but faltered when the agents began to charge up their guns, threatening to shoot her if she didn't cooperate. "Geez, I, uh...kind of forget how the rest of that goes. Show you to the lab, fellas?"

"Hold on a second, do you have a search warrant?" Sam asked the agents sternly with his hands on his sides.

"Warrant?" Agents O and K asked in unison, sounding confused before they broke out into laughter.

Sam smirked as he crossed his arms cleverly. "Laugh it up, boys, but page one ninety-eight, subchapter seven, paragraph seven-B of the Anti-Ghost Code says you need a warrant...unless exigent circumstances supersede the authority of the judge or magistrate."

"'Exigent circumstances'?" Agent K asked mockingly before he laughed again.

"Save it, K, we don't even know what that means." Agent O said to his partner before he approached Jackie. "Okay, you're off the hook until we can get a warrant...or a legal dictionary." And both of the agents walked out of Dani's room.

"Stay for dinner, fellas?" Jackie offered eagerly, but then noticed that her husband was glaring at her again. "I mean, uh...OUT OF MY HOUSE, NOW!" She then smiled to herself again. "And um...any chance you could hook me up to one of those Ecto-Annihilator thingies?" And then Jackie walked out of Dani's room while Matt followed with an annoyed glare, leaving the trio by themselves.

"Thanks for the backup, Sam. I'm glad you're up on your anti-ghost laws." Dani said to her gothic friend, looking mildly impressed.

"No problem, but they really did a number on your room though." Sam said as he glanced at his friend's bedroom, now wrecked and trashed.

Dani then made a suspicious look. "Yeah, and I don't think they acted alone…"

That night at the Regal Hotel in Wisconsin, Vladia moved into an apartment before she took a shower while the news kept on announcing about the big screw up the Guys in White placed upon her new mansion she already paid for.

"One time community pillar, Vladia Masters, insisted that she had nothing to hide." A man reported on the news.

Vladia walked out of her shower curtain (while soap bubbles covered her chest) and wearing a shower hat, and she frowned at the TV above her. "'One time pillar', indeed. Dani Fenton has tarnished my reputation and made me the laughing stock of Wisconsin, and nobody bows down to a laughing stock." She said to herself as she wrapped herself up with a towel and walked out of her bathroom while she smiled to herself. "But I'm sure that my shrew countermove has put the skits to her teenaged hijinks."

"We now go live to breaking news from aircopter two flying above a hotel-" Showing no more interest in the news, Vladia shutted off her TV.

Suddenly, everything around began to fly around in a gust of wind when her shower hat flew off and her clothes began swirling around as well. She looked at her window and realized her wall was missing and there were news helicopters filming her live on TV as the towel off of her body, leaving her totally naked live on TV.

"OH, BUTTER BRICKLE!" She exclaimed in frustration.

Up on the roof of the hotel, the Specter Speeder was parked outside with Tina and Sam inside as they watched their. They were currently staring at a naked Vladia while she tried to hide herself behind a chair.

"Whoa! Can you say 'too much information'?" Tina said jokingly before she and Sam laughed at Vladia's misfortune.

"Maybe when I'm done suppressing my gag reflex." Sam said with a little disgust before he called through his headphones. "You okay down there, Dani?"

Turned out, Dani has decided to make Vladia even more like a laughing stock in Wisconsin by turning her entire wall invisible and showing her naked live on TV, just to get back at Vladia for her tricking the Guys in White for trashing her room.

"Better than ever! An invisible wall, hehe. Top that, Plasmius!" Dani said with a clever smirk and placed a free hand on her hip.

Back at Amity Park in Casper High during lunchtime (while the freshmen all became sophomores, including Dani, Sam, and Tina, when the new year started), Sam walked up to Tina with his lunch tray.

"Hey, Tina, Dani stashed away in the locker room, as usual?" Sam asked her.

"You know Ms. Modesty. After gym class when she cleans, she cleans alone." Tina said while she smiled a little.

Suddenly, all of the students began laughing at something as they walked over to it, much to Tina and Sam's confusion. They both pushed past the teens and gasped at the sight of Dani washing her hair (with soap bubbles covering her chest).

Her smile dropped when she heard laughter as she turned around and noticed that everyone could see her naked. "Huh? OH NO!" She exclaimed in embarrassment as she tried to cover herself up as best as she could.

Vladia went back at Dani by making her the laughing stock of her school by sending her ghost vulture lackeys to turn the wall invisible the same way Dani did earlier.

"A ghost kid with tan lines. Who knew?" Tina asked rhetorically over the laughing students.

After school that day, everyone headed to the Nasty Burger for some dinner, but of course everyone kept on laughing at Dani, who was slouching in embarrassment about the whole invisible wall incident.

"So...what about that big mayor's election?" Sam wondered, trying to change the subject from the students.

"Forget changing the subject, Sam, I'm never gonna live this down!" Dani said as she slouched even more.

"Never is a long time, Dani…" Tina said before a student popped from her head and briefly laughed at Dani before disappearing. "But the next few weeks will be brutal."

Dani was about to take a bite from her hamburger, until Agent K suddenly appeared out of nowhere and snatched the her meal out of her hand. "Everybody out! This is an evacuation!" He announced.

"This place is being demolished by order of the new owner!" Agent O said as his men ran into the restaurant to evacuate the teens from the building.

"New owner?" Dani asked in confusion as she ran up to them.

The answer to her confusion came when her archenemy, Vladia herself, entered the restaurant with her permanent sinister grin that always told everyone she was up to no good with her hands behind her back.

"That's right, Danielle." She said calmly, making Dani gasp in shock at her archenemy's unexpected arrival. "You know these walls are infested with harmful Ecto-Bestos so as the new provider, it is my duty to tear this place down. With your own extensive background in demolition, I'm sure you understand, yes?" Dani only narrowed her eyes and glared at her, knowing exactly why she wanted to destroy the Nasty Burger in actuality.

After everyone was forced to evacuate the fast food restaurant, a truck arrived with a giant crusher, ready to destroy the teen's prime hangout. "Three, two, one. Demolish!" Agent O ordered. Everyone watched in shock and horror as they truck crushed their favorite Nasty Burger hangout as everyone gasped and glared about this.

"How could they?!" Daph Baxter exclaimed angrily.

Tina kneed down as she picked up a coaster and hugged it close to her cheek. "Farewell, old friend! We hardly knew ye!" Tina said in despair.

"Let this be a lesson, Dani. I put the 'pro' in quid-pro-quo, not that you're bright enough to know what that means." Vladia said to her ear.

"I get the idea and I don't like it! Believe me, this isn't over yet." Dani said as she glared up at Vladia before she stormed away.

"Oh good, I'll take that as a challenge." Vladia watched as Sam and Tina gave her one last angry glares before they followed their friend. Then, the billionairess woman noticed the Election Day billboard, making her smirk again with another dreadful idea. "And I do so enjoy being the challenger."

The next day in town was finally Election Day as it was time for the citizens to cast their vote for the next mayor. Matt and Jackie were watching the candidates making their speeches at City Hall from the kitchen in Fenton Works.

"Our Election Day coverage continues…" Shelly Makamoto announced on the news.

Dani walked into the kitchen. "Hey, Mom, is it okay if I…" She began to ask.

"Up, up, up! Now now, Danielle, it's Election Day and I've got my voting shoes on!" Jackie cutted in as she showed her voting boots, but Dani didn't look too interested. "I've gotta run out and cast my vote for the next mayor of Amity Park!" Jackie then picked up a box full of ribbons, election badges, and pins.

Dani gasped when her mother began to decorate and smother her with the 'Vladia 4 mayor' merchandise and propaganda. She was covered in 'Vladia' pins and ribbons, holding 'Vladia' flags, and wearing a techno-band that read 'Vladia 4 mayor'.

Dani looked a little confused that her archenemy was actually trying to run for mayor. "'Vladia Masters for mayor'?"

Matt sighed like he didn't want to admit the truth. "She's a last minute write-in-candidate. At least now she's channeling her sociopathic, lonely bachelor energy into something positive, but she doesn't care about other people!" He explained like he was trying to get to his wife's head that Vladia would make a terrible mayor.

In a way, Matt was right and Dani silently agreed with her father: Vladia cared nothing for the people, no matter how innocent or how young they were, all she ever cared about was power and saw the citizens as nothing more than pawns in her goals for gaining more power to show her superiority to everyone in the world. However, Jackie still thought that Vladia was her best friend, but was oblivious to the fact that her former college friend has been trying to kill her and steal Matt away from her (which is rather ironic since Vladia thought Jackie was the one who stole Matt away from her, not to mention her accident Jackie caused twenty years ago that gave her her powers was a catalyst for her becoming wealthy).

Dani knew Vladia was always up to no good from personal experiences, and she never used power for righteous reasons, instead used them for her own personal pleasure. Dani also learned that all Vladia ever wanted was love she always wanted: Matt and formerly Dani, whom he should have been her husband and she should've been her adopted daughter/successor because she has ghost powers, too. However, after losing the 'prime clone' a couple months back, Vladia now finally saw Dani as a full-time enemy and no longer seeked her affection (which Dani was okay with).

"And that's why she'll make a great politician!" Jackie said with a bright smile.

"If elected, I hope to breath new life into this town." Vladia said with fake honesty from the podium of City Hall, making the audience cheer for her speech.

Jackie laughed a little while Dani ripped off the merchandise off of herself. "That's my Vladia, breathing life and taking names!" She began to cry tears of joy with some hopeful thoughts about herself with Vladia. "I'm her number one supporter, and...maybe...someday...her running mate-hey! Maybe I need some running shoes, too!"

"I gotta go!" Dani said to her parents as she ran out of the kitchen.

There was a sudden bright flash of white light, which only Matt seemed to noticed when he perked up in surprise. "Did you just see a flash of light?" He asked his wife.

"It's only the brightest dawning over our fair city. Kudos, Vladia!" Jackie said cluelessly as she hugged her reluctant husband.

Dani phased out of Fenton Works in her ghost form and floated in the air, determined to stop whatever Vladia was planning for the election and for the citizens of her town. "They say you can't fight City Hall, but they never said you couldn't fight IN IT!" She exclaimed angrily as she flew into action.

At City Hall after Vladia's fake speech, she had an interview with Shelly Makamoto while the citizens began to prepare themselves to chose the next mayor between Montez or Masters. "Thank you for revealing more to us than just your moles, Ms. Masters." Shelly said as she held the mic between her and Vladia.

"Oh no, thank you, madam, and remember to vote for...citizen Vladia, although I'm sure you will." Vladia said with a small laugh. "And by the way, those are beauty marks."

"That's debatable."

Vladia gave the news woman a quick glare as she walked away. Vladia was about to walk away herself and two sets of hands phased through the ground and grabbed her, making her yelp and shout in surprise as Dani phased her under the ground. She took her archenemy into the City Hall's boiler room where she roughly hurled Vladia to a set of pipes, demolishing them as she grunted.

Vladia looked unfazed by this when she smirked up at the ghost girl. "Why Danielle, come to wish your old Aunty Vladia good luck, have you?" She asked rhetorically as she rose to her feet.

"Oh save it, Plasmius!" Dani snapped as she glared down at the evil half-ghost villainess. "Whatever you're up to, it ends now!"

"Oh, I assure you, my dear, it is only just beginning." Vladia changed into her ghost form and charged straight towards Dani with a cry.

As she tried to punch her, Dani quickly lurched backwards and used the pipe tube behind her for support as Vladia hovered above her, and Dani double-kicked her on her chest dead on, sending her crashing through the ceiling/floors of City Hall until she was outside the building.

"Wow! Looks like Vladia's a little rusty." Dani eyed the holes before she smirked. "Which is all the invitation I need." She flew through the holes and outside, where she turned around and avoided Vladia's ecto beams before she hovered a few feet away from her. "Boohoo! Is that it? You forgot to take your supplements! Have a dose of vitamin ME!"

Dani charged at her archenemy again while Vladia tried to throw some energy disks at her, but she dodged them with ease before she punched her in the face twice and then kicked her square in the chin, sending her plummeting to a roof of a building below her. Dani laughed like it was a joke as she dove a few feet from the building.

"You've lost your edge. Why don't you go back to Wisconsin and look for it? In other words, get out of my town!" Dani demanded.

However, Vladia only smiled as she rose to her feet. "Foolish girl, do you really think I'm this weak? I'm more powerful than you'll ever know, and even now, my power increases as much as yours has. Look!" Vladia said as she gestured to the citizens who were ready to vote for the candidates.

Behind their backs, hundreds of shadow-like duplicates of Vladia hovered above them (which really explained why Dani could defeat her easily in combat, since creating that many duplicates could really take a lot of energy) and dove down as they began to possess all of the citizens.

"Oh man, she's overshadowing the voters!" Dani said to herself.

Now that all of the voters have all been overshadowed by Vladia's duplicates, they began to check off right next to Vladia Masters' name. She possessed the voters so she could win and take place as the new mayor of Amity Park.

"Out of my way, I'm voting for Vladia!" Jackie said as she shoved past some possessed voters until she got possessed as well. "I mean...out of my way, I'm voting for Vladia!" And she continued towards the voting booths.

"MOM!" Dani exclaimed as she was about to help her mother, but then Vladia roughly shoved her aside across the roof as she crashed through the wall and landed on a car, demolishing it with a grunt.

"Holy hanging chaz!" Shelly exclaimed as she stood in front of a group of possessed supporters who were forced to vote for Vladia. "In all my days as a reporter, I have never seen such a groundswell of support for any candidate! According to the latest polls, dark horse Vladia Masters is the next mayor of Amity Park by a landslide! What an upset!"

Dani weakly pulled herself up on the demolished car. "You're telling me."

A shadow loomed over her, making her gasp before she looked up and shrieked when she saw Vladia diving right at her. She luckily flew off as Vladia crushed the car more instead before she rose to her feet.

"What did it you young folks say? 'Don't hate, congratulate'?" Vladia mocked before she chuckled. Dani only glared at her even more and got in a stance, but Vladia merely changed back into her human form. "Oh, why do I care? Go ahead and hate."

"And here she is now, the new mayor elect of Amity Park: Vladia Masters!" Shelly announced as Dani ran off while all of Vladia's 'supporters' approached their new mayor.

"Masters! Masters! Masters!" Everyone chanted. Dani stared at the crowd in gawk before she glanced back up at Vladia, who only grinned evilly at the ghost heroine.

The next day was the ceremony as Vladia walked up to the podium for her new mayoral speech. "Thank you! Thank you one and all!" She announced, making the the crowd cheer louder.

Matt, Dani, Tina, Sam, and James were the only ones who remained silent and glared at the woman, but Jackie was, as usual, proud of her 'best friend' when she hugged her husband and daughter. "Hazah! The Fentons are a heartbeat away from the mayor's office! Next stop the White House and I'm gonna be Vladia's number two gal!" Jackie said proudly.

"Jackie, you're dreaming." Matt mumbled as he frowned in annoyance.

"Am not! Why just this morning, she told me when she thinks of number two, she thinks of me!"

"I'd like to take a moment now, if I may, to thank a very special person in my life." Vladia continued.

Jackie thought Vladia was talking about her. "Oh, shucks already, Vladia. Save it for my swearing in."

"Come on up here...Dani Fenton!" Vladia smirked and narrowed her eyes when she said her archenemy's name out loud. Dani's eyes went wide while the crowd cheered loudly. Jackie gently nudged her daughter forward towards Vladia before she held her close and grinned. "I'm rubbing your nose into this mess you made, Danielle, doesn't it smell yummy?" She then turned her to the rest of the citizens and continued her speech. "It was this young lady who inspired me to pursue my true calling, politics! And for that, I owe her a debt and I will pay it by protecting her and all the people precious children of Amity Park from the biggest problem facing this town...ghosts!"

The crowd cheered when their new mayor finished her speech.

"Uh oh...I have a bad feeling about this." Sam said nervously to Tina as he stared at the cheering crowd.

"Relax, Sam, so she'll propose a couple of lame laws...how bad can it be?" Tina asked rhetorically as she shrugged.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Tina cried in total dismay the next day, asking too soon.

The next day at Casper High, Mr. Lancer has collected all of his student's phones, computers, PDAs, and all other technology from the teens. One of Vladia's new laws was the Technus Act, which banned all high tech gear that could be used for 'ghost infiltrations' (which Tina was not happy about in the least when she tried to beg Lancer to give her back her tech, but he wouldn't listen to her). The next day, Vladia declared another law that forced all the students to wear a new school uniform to 'protect them from anything dark and gothic' which could 'attract ecto unfriendlies'. The uniform for the girls consisted of a white short-sleeve shirt with a red sweater vest and blue tie, along with a navy blue skirt, and knee-height socks. While the boys wore almost the same thing, but only with navy blue pants instead. Vladia then declared a four o'clock PM curfew, a mandatory roll call before and after class, and even doubled the security in the school.

But of course Dani and her friends knew exactly what Vladia's new laws were really for: to make every teenagers' and child's life miserable, but mostly to make Dani's life a complete nightmare, along with her friends'. The Technus Act was all to make Tina miserable with no technology like at all and likely to prevent her from accessing any of Vladia's files, the uniforms were all to make Sam irritated by the colors, the four PM curfew was all to keep all of the teenagers and children from having any fun after school, the roll call was all to make sure Dani wasn't missing and prevent her from leaving the classroom without people getting suspicious, and the security was to prevent Dani from bringing her two trusty weapons, the Fenton Thermos and the Boo-staff. Most of the adults probably couldn't see how miserable their children were because of Vladia, and it was probably because they were totally understanding these laws and they wanted to protect their children.

While one guard held Dani against the lockers, another took her backpack and began emptying it, but they were satisfied that they found nothing, so they just walked away, leaving Dani to pick up all her supplies and materials. Sam walked up to her while Tina was hugging Lancer's ankle, but she just gave up when she released him and he walked away with all of her tech.

"For the record, girl, this stinks." Tina grumbled.

"And everyone thinks it's your fault, Dani, guilt by association with Vladia." Sam added as he bent down and helped her pick up all of her things.

"Hey, I'm taking the biggest hit here!" Dani said as the three of them stood up and stared up at a security camera Vladia enforced everyone to place all over Amity Park, but all they really did was keep their eyes on Dani and her friends. "With all this surveillance and restrictions, Vladia's making sure I can almost never go ghost."

"Maybe that's probably a good thing." Tina said as she held up a newspaper, showing her friends that everyone was beginning to hate Dani Phantom again. "Looks like you're paranormal non-grata again."

"Vladia's claiming that Dani Phantom's presence might be more of an invitation to ghosts than a deterrent." Sam added.

"Which we all know is an absolute load. With me out out of the picture, ghosts will be on the loose all over town." Dani said as she narrowed her eyes at the thought.

Unfortunately, Dani suspected too soon since because of Vladia, the Guys in White have managed to capture some of the ghosts with came to Amity Park. So far the past few days, all of the newspapers talked about were about nothing but Vladia 'saving' the town from ghosts and nothing more. Dani, Tina, and Sam examined the newspaper articles at the stands.

"Boy, Vladia's PR machine is really trumping up all these ghost battles." Sam said in somewhat disbelief.

Dani scoffed like she wasn't fooled by Vladia's 'heroism' when she crossed her arms. "All those phony attacks were staged, Vladia's trying to convince everyone that they don't need me anymore." She suspected, from her past experiences of her archenemy striking deals with ghosts so they could help her for her own benefit.

"But on the bright side, at least Vladia's rebuilding our hangout." Tina said as she turned around, but gasped in shock when they expected to see the Nasty Burger, but all they saw was a new fast food restaurant called McMasters.

"McMasters?" Most of the students were there for the grand opening, but for some odd reason neither of them were allowed in. While Dani, Sam, and Tina tried to enter the building, the security guard blocked their way in.

"Can I help you...to leave?" The guard asked rhetorically before he threw them away down the street. "There are no teenagers allowed here!"

The trio stood up to their feet, glaring at that ridiculous rule. "WHAT?! You can't be serious!"

The guard grinned and pointed at a sign with a picture of a teen with a slash on it, proving that no teenager is allowed into McMasters at all. "Now beat it! All you kids!"

"This is all your fault, Fentina! You're responsible for this lousy mayor!" Daph Baxter sneered as she, Paul, and Kwyn walked past the trio, giving Dani dirty and resentful glares while they stormed away.

"Okay, I really feel like crud now." Dani muttered before she made a look of determination, deciding that it was time to have a little chat with her archenemy. "There's only one thing left to do. I'm going gho-"

"WAIT!" Sam interrupted before he pointed ahead at the surveillance camera on the fast food restaurant ceiling, reminding her that Vladia was still trying to expose her secret and/or to keep her in human form at all cost.

"No worries, Vladia took away my tech...so I'm taking hers!" Tina said as she painted some war paint onto her cheeks. She ran up to the camera and ripped it off the roof, shutting it off completely. "Go ahead, girl." She gave Dani a thumbs up before she flirted with the dismantled camera. "Hello, special new friend."

With the coast finally cleared, Dani ran across the street before she jumped into the air and changed into her ghost form. She phased into the McMasters building and found herself inside Vladia's office when saw her signing some documents, possibly for some new rules to make every teenager in town miserable.

"Danielle...I had a feeling you'd come." Vladia said with a wicked grin as she merely glanced up at her.

"Look...this goes against everything I stand for, but…" Dani began as she tensed and was struggling to say the absolute last things she wanted to say to her archenemy's face, but she knew that she probably had no other choice. "...I'm sorry for playing those stupid pranks on you, and I'm hope that you'll accept my apology and quit making things miserable for me and my friends!" She then offered her hand out. "Truce?"

"How nice, a lady's handshake…" Vladia's grin then dropped when she glared at the ghost girl. "But you forget where you and I are concerned, I AM NO LADY!"

Dani glared at her in exasperation. "Oh, come on! Can you at least pretend to have a heart?! I'm trying to make an effort here!"

"I KNOW and even the apology is a welcome departure for your usual childish arrogance, it belies a greater truth! YOU HAD THIS COMING!"

"But-"

"NO BUTS! Trust me when I tell you that your life has just began to become a relentless nightmare beyond your feeble imagination, and one thing farther! When I say that this place is off limits to teens, that includes ghost teens!"

Vladia angrily pressed a button on her desk and Agents O and K immediately barged into the office with guns ready. Dani tried to fly out as soon as they fired their weapons, but the force made her crash through the wall and back outside near Sam and Tina's feet.

"So...how'd that go?" Tina wondered, even though she already knew the answer.

Dani changed back to her human form before she stood up weakly, looking hopeless by how things are turning out for her and her friends. Dani knew Vladia had finally lost interest in her and now saw her as a full-on rival, but how she wanted to make every teenager and innocent child in Amity Park suffer just because of her past defeats and humiliations was just pure selfishness.

"This reeks, I'm ruined! My ghost career is over, my school career is over, every kid at Casper hates me...more than usual." Dani listed off, looking down.

Sam glanced at the crowd of teens glaring at them until he smirked with an idea. "Yeah, but I bet they hate Vladia even more. I've got an idea…"

Later on, the trio gathered all the teenagers outside of Casper High and proposed to them to begin a protest against Vladia and her ridiculous laws she has bestowed upon their town.

"Let me get this straight, you're leading a protest against your buddy, the mayor?!" Daph retorted as she glared at her school rival.

"Trust me, she's no buddy of mine! Or yours! She's just using us!" Dani announced to all her classmates.

"But the people have the power to make a change!" Sam said with determination.

"Right! We take back this town one Nasty Burger at a time!" Tina finished as she held up a protest sign to bring the Nasty Burger back and demand the laws to be resigned and give the teenagers their freedom again.

"So what do you say?! Are you with us?!" Dani shouted as she held up her protest sign.

"YEAAAAAAAH!" The teens cheered in agreement, making the trio grin at each other that their plan was actually working.

Later on, all the teens of Casper High gathered at the McMasters restaurant and began to protest their new mayor to change everything back to the way it was, waving their signs around madly and shouting angrily against Vladia.

"It's a chaotic scene here at McMasters, as I rate the Casper High students protest the eatery's no teenager policy." Shelly announced on the news as she stood in front of the protesting scene.

Jackie and Matt watched the whole thing from their kitchen. "We better get down there, Jackie!" Matt said with worry under his goggles.

"Right! Gotta protect Vladia's investment!" Jackie agreed, but obviously for a different reason since her husband frowned at her in annoyance again.

"I meant to protect our kids."

"Oh yeah, that, too...and maybe grab a Vladia meal to go!"

"FRIES NOT LIES! FRIES NOT LIES! FRIES NOT LIES!" The teenagers chanted at the protest with Sam and Tina leading them.

"This is so cool! This protest is bound to rattle Vladia's cage, right Dani?" Sam asked excitedly, but when he turned around to see Dani, she was already gone before he glanced back to Tina in confusion. "Where's Dani?"

"She' must be taking a break, but I'll tell you who is here: the mayor herself!" Tina said when she spotted something approaching them.

A limousine pulled up in between the McMasters restaurant and the protesting teenagers. Vladia exited her vehicle with a grin as she placed her hands behind her back before walked up to the teens casually.

"Now, now, children, I'm sure we can reach some sort of an understanding here." She said with fake honesty, but none of the teens were fooled by her lie one bit.

"We're not children, so stop treating us that way!" Sam demanded as he glared angrily at his friend's archenemy before the protesters cheered at his little back talk against their mayor.

On the roof of the restaurant, Dani was overlooking the protest and saw that her archenemy has finally arrived. "Just what I'd hope for. Now it's time to blow Vladia's game once and for all." She said to herself with a grin before she changed into her ghost form.

Then Jackie and Matt both arrived to the protest, catching the billionairess' attention. "Never fear, Vladia, we're here to scoop up the small fry!" Jackie called after her until she walked up to her 'old friend' while she ignored Vladia's irritated glare. "Which reminds me, you ever thought about supersizing those Vladia meals?"

"Oh, for the love of…" Vladia growled, trying to keep her hatred on Jackie at bay before she turned her attention back to the angry teens, trying to act hip while she did hand gestures. "Come on now, 'dudes', can't we 'rap' about this? Open up a meaningful dialogue?"

Dani landed a few feet away from her archenemy and glared. "How 'bout I open something up? Like a big can of worms?" She retorted with her hands on her hips.

"It's the ghost kid!" Jackie exclaimed in alarm before she immediately jumped into action when she pulled out her ecto-gun and aimed it directly at Dani's face.

Before the obese huntress could even fire at her own daughter unknowingly, Vladia took the gun away from Jackie's hands. "Just a moment." Vladia said casually as she wrapped her hand around the girl's neck, much to her discomfort. "We're all friends here, hm? Let the lass have her say."

Dani looked surprised by this at first. "Uh, really?" She asked until she immediately shrugged it off when she glared at her archenemy. "Okay! Then I'll give it to you straight!" She turned to the protesters and pointed accusingly at Vladia, who stood there unfazed while she smiled. "The mayor is a phony and a liar! And she's hiding a secret that will shock you all!" The cameramen aimed their cameras at the ghost girl, wondering what she had to say. "It's time for the whole world to know, Vladia Masters is really…"

"The most feared nemesis in the entire ghost realm!" A familiar voice interrupted.

Everyone glanced up and gasped when they saw Vladia Plasmius floating above them, grinning with her arms crossed. Vladia must have somehow known that Dani would try to reveal her secret, so she duplicated herself to make sure no one would believe her. Dani must have also thought that this was how nobody was able to link suspicion to Vladia's footsteps during her mysterious burglaries.

"Oh dear, it's a clearly evil-yet devastatingly beautiful-ghost villainess! Whatever shall we do?!" The real Vladia cried out in horror. Her duplicate began to fire her ecto beams at the citizens while they ran and scattered away as they screamed. The real Vladia then smirked at Dani. "Check and mate, Danielle."

Dani glared angrily at her before she flew in front of her duplicate. "Alright you carbon copy hag, I'll taking you down!" She exclaimed.

"I don't think so! Remember, I'm merely a single duplication and still far more powerful than you!" Vladia's ghost duplicate mocked and pointed her finger as she fired a small beam at Dani dead on, sending her crashing into the building.

"Ooooh, I'll bet that hurt, at least I hope it did." The real Vladia said with a smirk as Dani recovered and charged again.

Dani fired an ecto ball of her own at the duplicate, but she spun around in a circle vertically and formed into a pink ecto-tornado and it deflected Dani's energy ball. The tornado began picking up cars as the citizens ran out of the way to avoid getting sucked in. Dani wasn't as lucky as they were since the tornado sucked her inside while she screamed until she got shot out into McMasters. Vladia's duplicate changed back and flew into the restaurant to finish her off.

"See?! Dani Phantom attracts the worst of what the ghost world has to offer, and she's virtually powerless to stop them!" Vladia said out loud to the citizens, trying to make Dani look bad to the public.

Dani was sent sliding across the bar table and onto the floor, covered in ketchup and mustard. She rose back to her feet and charged at the duplicate again, but she punched her square under her chin and sent her flying out of the building as she shrieked. The duplicate then grabbed Dani by her neck.

"Let go of me!" Dani demanded as she tried to pry the duplicate's hand off of her throat.

"Oh, I will, in just a few seconds. Watch and learn." She said as she glanced down at her creator.

"I see I'm forced to take matters into my own more capable hands." The real Vladia said as she pulled out Jackie's ecto-gun and aimed it upward toward her ghost duplicate. "Stand down, fiend! There's a new mayor in town and her name is Vladia Masters!"

The citizens gasped as her duplicate released Dani and made a false look of fear. "Oh no! Please don't hurt me mayor Masters, I beg of you!" She gave Dani a briefly laugh before she descended in front her creator as she kneeled before her with her laced hands in front of her. "Please take pity on me, I'm but a poor dumb ghost! I can't help being bad!"

"Which is exactly why I'm taking you down!" She began to charge up the ecto-gun, ready to vaporize her.

"What?! She's gonna zap her own clone to make herself look good!" Dani exclaimed to herself, but then she perked when an idea suddenly clicked in her mind before she smirked. "Unless...it does just the opposite. I've got an idea!"

Dani turned herself intangible and flew into Vladia Plasmius' body. She began to cringe and shout for control until her eyes glowed green and smirked up at Vladia Masters. "Go ahead, do your worst!" Dani said in Vladia's voice (it did take her a while to master speaking in the host's voice instead of her own).

She then made the duplicate flew everywhere as Vladia aimed her gun and fired a beam just as the duplicate flew behind the limousine, destroying it completely. Everyone ran up to the wreckage and found Dani Fenton laying on the street, injured with her face all bruised and scratched, her clothes torn, and her hair all frizzled.

She weakly got up as she groaned. "Huh? Wha? What happened? I'm just a helpless, impressionable teenager who was minding my own business when…" Dani acted out before she smiled and winked at her friends. "Boom!"

Sam smiled at his improvising friend before he began his own act. "Oh my gosh! The mayor shot Dani!" He exclaimed in fake worry.

"She zapped an innocent kid!" Tina acted out as she faked some tears.

All the citizens glared at Vladia as they growled. "What?! I...no! I mean…" She stuttered nervously until everyone began to shout aggressively at their new mayor for 'hurting' an innocent child.

Jackie and Matt ran up to their daughter as Matt hugged her close. "Dani! Dani, are you alright?" They both asked in unison worriedly.

"Oh, my baby!" Matt cooed as he hugged his daughter close to his cheek before she smiled at him.

"Please! I-I-I can explain!" Vladia said nervously to the angry citizens before she glared at Dani, who only smiled that her plan has officially worked.

Apparently Dani's plan was to make the public see Vladia for the untrustworthy woman she really was by making her hurt an innocent child in front of everyone, showing she had no real care for teens or children and that all her laws were just to make their lives miserable. So, Vladia would have to provoke all of her laws to make everyone love her again and get on their good side, and she had forced herself to go into damage control mode while everyone gathered into City Hall to eagerly hear her speech.

"By popular decree, I hereby...resign all previous anti-ghost restrictions!" Vladia announced as she signed a document, officially calling off all of her previous laws she has declared, making everyone cheer for her.

"I gotta admit, she's good." Dani said to her friends.

"Yeah, she's good, but you were better." Sam said to her.

"Yeah, taking that blast to force Vladia to save her image by getting rid of those stupid laws, and making the world safe for sweet technology again." Tina said as she held up her PDA, that was back in her possession, and kissed it in satisfaction.

"In addition, I'm going to rebuild the Nasty Burger, teens welcome! Who's your favorite mayor now?" Vladia asked rhetorically to the audience before they cheered again.

The trio all had their arms crossed and grinned at another job well done, now that Team Phantom has won yet again and Vladia's plans for revenge by making their lives miserable has been foiled.

"Wow, a little self-serving, but...another victory on our side. All in all, Dani, I call it a draw." Sam said.

"Yeah, I guess." Dani agreed as her grin dropped before she glared at her archenemy, who was taking a few photos with a few teens. "There's only one problem with that though: whenever there's a draw...there's bound to be a rematch."

Vladia smirked at Dani as her eyes glowed solid red while Dani glared back at her while her eyes glowed green. Now that Vladia was still the new mayor of Amity Park and lived in her hometown, Dani will now have to deal with her more often than usual and her battle with Vladia was far from over. The battle has just began between the teenage half-ghost heroine and the old half-ghost villainess.
