Love of Might and Magic

Chapter 1: A Problem Arises

It has been nearly ten years or so for Vlad Plasmius to search the ghost zone again for the Skeleton key. With the aid of Skulcker, Technus and the Fright Knight, Plasmius was able to locate it in a remote location of the ghost zone. The lizard-like monster tried to attack Plasmius with all its might.

"So how did you manage to escape this monster when it ate you before?" asked the Fright Knight as he was fighting alongside a few of Vlad and his clones.

"Let's just say it was quite unpleasant" added Vlad as he fired a ghost beam at the lizard-like monster.

"But Skulcker really wants to know what this Skeleton Key actually does" said Skulcker as he fired several rockets at the lizard-like monster.

"It can open any door, go into any dimension and free any prisoner which I choose" said Vlad as he and his ghost clones fired a large ghost beam at the oncoming lizard-like monster and sent it flying and crashing toward a floating tree in the ghost zone.

"I'm getting quite tired of this" said Technus as he used his staff to keep the lizard-like monster down.

"Will you do the honors in subduing this ghost beast?" asked Vlad to the Fright Knight.

"With pleasure" replied the Fright Knight as he charged toward the lizard-like creature and slashed him with his sword and turned the lizard-like monster into a pelt.

"So what do you want to do with this Skeleton Key first?" asked Technus as Plasmius got the key out of its case.

Then Plasmius noticed a strange large door floating about near them.

"How about using the Skeleton Key for opening that door?" asked Vlad.

"Are you sure?" asked the Fright Knight, "I'm not sure that's such a good idea."

"And why isn't it such a good idea?" asked Vlad.

"Well" replied the Fright Knight, "that's the residence of the Troll King and of course the door to the magical realm."

"And all the more reason why I should open that door" said Vlad as he floated toward it.

"Please reconsider" said the Fright Knight, "if you do that the realm between the human and ghost worlds will collide with the realm of magic."

"And your point is?" asked Vlad as he placed the Skeleton Key in the lock of the door.

Vlad then ignored the Fright Knight's concerns and opened the large strange door anyway. As the door opened up, the four then entered what looked like to be some sort of cavern and a throne of some sort in the middle of it. Suddenly what it looked like to be an earthquake shook the entire cavern and Vlad signaled his comrades to take cover as a large troll along with his loyalists came to the scene and noticed the door to the ghost zone was opened.

"Who dares intrude on my turf?" bellowed the Troll King as he looked around the cavern.

"Hello, Plasmius, Vlad Plasmius" replied Vlad as he appeared right in front of the Troll King.

"And who might your associates be?" asked the Troll King as they emerged from their hiding places.

"My associates are Skulcker, the Fright Knight, and Technus" replied Vlad.

"And what do you have to offer that would benefit me if you shouldn't be destroyed?" asked the Troll King.

"What do you have in mind?" asked Vlad.

"I would like to have my revenge on the Te Xuan Ze" replied the Troll King, "for imprisoning me here in the first place. The only problem is that the current Te Xuan Ze resides in Orchid Bay and can't leave that area which she is bond to."

"So what do you want me to do about it?" asked Vlad.

"Enroll her in a college which you can keep a close eye on her until I regain my strength" replied the Troll King.

"Well, why not enroll her in the college Daniel and his friends are in Amity Park?" replied Vlad.

The scene then switches back to Clockwork whom was observing the events unfolding.

"This doesn't look good" said Clockwork then he opens a portal to Orchid Bay, "I must get the Te Xuan Ze to Amity Park fast."

Meanwhile back in Orchid Bay, Juniper Lee just received an anonymous letter of recommendation to be enrolled in Amity Park College and she was with Ah-Mah trying to cope with the deal on leaving Orchid Bay to Amity Park.

"I'm most interested in whoever wrote this letter" said Ah-Mah as she was examining it.

"But I can't leave Orchid Bay" said June.

"Of course you can't" said Ah-Mah, "it's impossible for you until there happens to be another Te Xuan Ze."

"I believe I can solve your dilemma" said a strange figure as who revealed to be Clockwork.

"Okay" said June to Clockwork, "who are you?"

"I'm Clockwork" replied Clockwork, "and I need you to head to Amity Park."

"Were you the one responsible for writing this letter?" asked June as she showed it to him.

"Absolutely not" replied Clockwork, "though you would soon find out who did."

"I hope you know what are you doing Clockwork" said Ah-Mah, "because the magical realm is left without its protector."

"Take this medallion and give it to Ray Ray it can give him the same strength as the Te Xuan Ze" said Clockwork to Ah-Mah, "I have been watching not just what's going on in the ghost zone but also in the human and magical realms as well."

"I'll do that ASAP" said Ah-Mah then she turns to June, "you pack your bags."

"This medallion here" said Clockwork to June as he gave it to her, "will give you the ability to travel outside of Orchid Bay and to Amity Park."

"Well" said June as she placed it around her neck, "thanks."

"I have to go" said Clockwork as he pointed a portal back to his tower with his staff, "I detect that the person who wrote the letter would be sending you a limo in a sort while to head toward Amity Park."

After Clockwork left the scene, several hours after June said goodbye to her friends and family a limo provided by the person who wrote the letter of recommendation whom was none other than Vlad Masters. June then gets into the limo and it heads off toward its destination-Amity Park. The scene then switches back to Vlad Plasmius along with Technus, the Fright Knight and Skulcker in the cavern of the Troll king.

"I do surely hope your plan works" said the Troll King to Vlad, "btw, what other sort of nefarious deeds to you have in mind for this Danny Phantom you hate along with the Te Xuan Ze?"

"How about let me and my associates play match maker between Danny Phantom and the Te Xuan Ze?" replied Vlad as he gave an evil smile, "You know so that it would regain your strength and get out of the ghost zone. My people have already sent the Te Xuan Ze to Amity Park as we speak."
