Trance Tulip from Zilleniose. Danny Phantom by Butch Hartman and Nickelodeon. Love Hina by...Ken Ama-something, but definitely not me.
"Cheesecake!" Obviously, this gray-haired man in a black suit was not in his happy place. And the reason? "It's bad enough Daniel had to interfere, but for...for..."
"Told you you couldn't trust them, Masters." A metallic ghost with flaming green hair smirked as the blue ghost sneered. "But then again, I suppose that wouldn't have stopped your obsession with that ghost hunter."
"First, I am excluded from obsessions. I am simply exploiting my powers to make advances no other man can do." Vlad Masters explained, hearing a cough that sounded like the name of his rival. "And second, I did not fall for their tricks. I was only proving that they would have tricked me in the first place." Another cough, this time sounding like a yeah right.
Earlier that week, Vlad had enlisted the help of two ghosts on separate occasion to fulfill one of his main goals: to gain the love of a certain Maddie Fenton. The first was a green beauty, an exotic ghost who, through tragic love, gained the ability to grant wishes. The only problem was that this ghost died knowing that her own wishes would never come true, so she twisted the ones she granted. If Vlad had known this little detail earlier, he wouldn't have been strapped to a table by the woman who loved him...and loved to see what he was made off.
After Danny Phantom, Vlad's future apprentice and a pain-in-the-rear foe, unwished the wish, Vlad turned to the second ghost. This blue-haired nymph was dressed in a manner and had a manner that he despised, but he had heard that she once hypnotized Daniel with that guitar of hers. This time, Vlad did some research and made sure that both Maddie and Daniel wear not wearing the Fenton Phones, causing Maddie to fall in love with Vlad and Daniel to become more obedient. That would have been successful if Jack Fenton had not kissed Maddie out of her trance (Most likely because there was fudge in her mouth). To make matters worse, the guitar ghost released Daniel from her hypnotism, stating that she didn't like to listen to adults anyway.
On the computer in front of him, Vlad studied the notes of various objects in both the human world and the Ghost Zone. The Crown of Fire, while a fancy headwear, required one other item to activate its full power, and after the last time he attempted to get the crown, Vlad doubted that he would want to try again that soon. The Ghost Staff, used by a human who fancies the name Freakshow, had been unrepairable, and the fabled Reality Gauntlet, once in the possession of the Guys in White, had mysteriously disappeared. The Fenton Ectosuit, while proven to be very effective against Phantom, was destroyed in an explosion. Data for cloning halfas like him, or more specifically Danny Phantom, was destroyed, and one of the prototypes had turned on him. And he did not wish to remember Clockwork, the ghost he met while attempting to go back in time. To say the least, the encounter gave him some time to think. In the prehistoric period.
"The Ghost's Guide to the Ghost Zone...Don't think I'll need that...Fenton Booooo-merang...Maybe I can threaten to annoy him at least...Fenton Ghost Catcher...Hm, definitely some potential I can impliment...Trance Tulip...By Maddie...Oh Maddie...Uh, Duulaman's Scepter...Only the pharoah can use it...funny how the pharoah looks like one of Daniel's friends..." He then slammed his head on the desk. "Why can't I find anything useful!?"
"Maybe you're distracted by the pictures of-" The metallic Skulker avoided a beam that nearly melted his head.
"Or maybe you're distracted by the fact that you got consumed by Jack Fenton after you did your own upgrades as opposed to the time you could catch Daniel because I paid you to." Vlad growled. "That's why you're standing here wasting my time while you could actually do your job!"
Skulker recomposed himself. "About that...Walker wouldn't let the Ghost Writer out. Not that it would matter, seeing as the whelp destroyed his keyboard."
Vlad eyed something sticking from one of Skulker's pocket. "And what is that?"
Skulker raised an eyebrow, wondering which gun he was refering to. And then it hit him when he pulled it out. "It's a book from the Ghost Writer's lair while I was searching for any spare keyboards he may have hidden. An interesting Japanese love triangle story about a cursed man who wants revenge on a simpleton..."
"Right, Japanese love tri...Wait, why didn't I think of that before?" The blue ghost let out a laugh, confusing the hunter ghost. Ignoring the poor sap, Vlad frantically typed in the computer. "I can't believe I forgot about it!"
"You read the story? Well, I was surprised when the cursed man tricked the simpleton's son to cast a spell to change time, but-"
"No, you fool! I'm not talking about some story." Vlad stepped aside to reveal the website he was on. "One of my dealings was with an elderly woman who owned an inn. The inn was quite old and valuable, plus the land it was on was priceless. However, she was very strict with this property, and she had already arranged for her grandson to inherit this in due time. I was unable to 'convince' her due to some...complications, so I simply left that deal alone."
"Ah..." Skuckler somewhat understood. "I don't get it. What's so important about that place?"
With a grin, Vlad clicked on a picture of a different building. "Love can work in mysterious ways."
