Within a span of a week, Amity Park had turned from the most haunted town in America into a twisted blend of a prison, a game preserve, and an amusement park. Simply put, Dan had turned 'his former home' into a living Hell for all humans and the few ghosts who realized what he had done. Several buildings were destroyed or laid in ruin as the people of Amity Park tried to survive. During the first few days of Dan's hostile takeover, several humans tried to escape regardless of the consequences. Rather than hunt down the humans, Dan allowed the ghosts to hunt down the humans and called it one of his games for his 'people' to entertain themselves. He called the game, Hide and Kill and it was very popular with some of the most unstable of ghosts.

One such game of Hide and Kill was being played with one male human who tried to make a break for the outside world. The human's name was Roger Baxter, the father of still condemned cannibal Dash Baxter. Roger had been on the run since the early morning of the day, he and his wife Eliza tried to leave Amity Park, but some of the most ruthless of ghosts caught wind of their attempt and flew after them. The Baxter couple tried to escape with their car, but one of Samantha's pets landed on the hood during their attempt and tore the engine apart. Eliza got out of the damaged car and made a break for the east only to run into the waiting arms of five ghosts. She screamed for her husband to save her, but Roger chose to run in the opposite direction to save his own life. Eliza screamed for help, but no one tried to rescue her as she was torn to pieces by the five ghosts.

So for nearly the whole day Roger had been running and hiding as several ghosts took turns chasing him. He tried to seek refuge in other people's homes, but as soon as the people saw him, they shut their doors because Dan's right hand ghost Tuck sent out a broadcast of Roger's position as 'it' (another way of saying prey) and knew that if they were to aid him they would be fair game for this twisted little game.

It looked like things were not going to go well for Roger as he kept on running. The only hope he had was to get past the ghost shield that surrounded Amity Park. To his fortune he saw that he was only about four miles away from the barrier. He tried to pick up the pace as he ran to the shield. However, just behind him was a hunting party of three ghosts each wielding knives, axes, and sludge hammers. Above them all were two other ghosts serving as trackers who announce the location of the prey. One of the trackers happened to be Skulker and he didn't like this so-called hunt.

Skulker watched as the hunting party on the ground reached the human. One of the ghosts threw a knife that lodged into Roger's right calf causing the poor man to fall onto the ground screaming in pain. Skulker looked on as the hunting party surrounded the human. He couldn't hear what was being said, but Skulker figured the human was pleading for his life knowing that this human was done. He turned away as he heard the screams of the man get hacked into pieces by three ghosts.

'This isn't a hunt,' thought Skulker as he decided to leave the area. 'That was a slaughter,' he added as he headed for the 'safe house' for ghosts.

The safe house as most ghosts called it was nothing more than the remains of Casper high. It was quite ironic that the one place that these go to pester Danny Phantom or terrorize the students would end up being their home. The ghosts that chose to occupy the school were Danny's usual enemies and a few of the ghosts Danny was neutral to with Skulker serving as their figurehead leader. In truth there was no organization or structure for any of them to follow, just a home to 'live' in.

When Skulker entered the safe house, he looked and saw Desiree cradling a small body that looked like a human child. The only problem was that the human child had its legs ripped off and the right side of its face burned severely.

Skulker remembered the day when the ghost genie entered the safe house holding the child while it was dying. Skulker and the other ghosts weren't able to tell if the child was a boy or a girl because of the mutilation. He still remembered how the child cried for its mother with Desiree telling the poor child that it will be reunited with its mother soon as she sang to the child while shedding tears. When the child finally died, Desiree wept for the loss of the child and ever since, she had kept the corpse with her using her powers to preserve the body.

When Skulker entered the cafeteria which served as a place where ghosts communicate with each other, he saw Technus tinkering with some machines that he salvaged from wherever he could find parts. He knew that Technus was working on a device that could open a gap in the ghost shield so that every ghost that wasn't insane to escape. He approached the scientist ghost hoping for some good news.

"Any improvements yet?" asked Skulker.

"None so far," replied Technus. "With all the technology in this city being used by those three, I haven't been getting much luck with anything useful," he continued.

"Just do what you can, I don't know how much longer any of us can handle being here," said Skulker.

"You saw that genie holding onto the dead child again huh?" questioned Technus.

"Yes," replied Skulker. "I don't think she can take much more if she continues to stay here," he added.

"I'll do what I can, just keep on trying to be the leader we need," said Technus as he returned to his work.

'It's not me we need,' thought Skulker. 'As much as I hate to say it, we need the whelp to save all of us,' he added.

Over at Fenton Works, things were not as good for the humans. Since Dan's appearance and subsequent claim of Amity Park, the Fenton couple was constantly working on new weapons as well as another ghost shield. It was difficult due to Maddie having only one arm now. Despite warnings from doctors and Jack, Maddie continued to work on new weapons not as a means to protect the people of Amity Park, but for revenge. However despite their setbacks, they were able to create another ghost shield that protected their home from ghosts and have allowed for people to seek refuge in their home. Among the people was Maddie's protégé Star who had taken to providing assistance when asked. Another who sought refuge was Tucker and his family. The former friend of Danny Fenton and Sam Manson had pretty much hauled himself inside Jack and Maddie's lab trying to send out a S.O.S to the outside world. He was appointed the task by Maddie due to his skills with computers. However, the techno-geek wasn't able to send out any message due to his alternate future ghost-self blocking all communications to the outside world.

Other refugees littered the Fenton home with little to no room for any more. Very few of the refugees were armed with ecto-guns to serve as guards for the building. Food had become a problem for everyone because despite promises from the president (there was only one broadcast that Tuck allowed to be sent to Amity Park as a means of giving people a sense of hope) sending troops and supplies to the people of Amity Park the supplies never made it. The reason for that was because as soon as they entered Amity Park, they were assaulted by the hundreds of ghosts who viewed them as new playthings.

The troops that the president promised to come to their rescue were put on hold due to the Guys in White demanding for the National Guard to stand down because ghosts were the jurisdiction of the GIW. The president relented and allowed the GIW to take command of the situation. Sadly, the GIW were still taking time to make final checks on their new weapons unit.

Due to these setbacks, the people of Amity Park had to conserve food and water as best as they could. Sadly, the new life style that these people had to endure had brought about anarchy as people fought for food, some even going so far as to kill in order to survive. Yet a few people still cling onto the hope of the rest of the country not forsaking them. Their hopes were the only things that kept those few people sane in a town that has lost its mind and soul.

For Dan and his small group, they were enjoying themselves as the chaos continued to affect the people of Amity Park. Dan had set up an arena in the zoo for another special form of entertainment. The walls around the zoo were covered in spikes and razor-wire so no human could climb the walls in order to escape. Samantha had all the animals set loose simply because Dan didn't need any of them in the zoo. Because of that, all the animals were free to go where they please even outside of the ghost shield, they were the lucky ones. Dan had also set up that the cages were to be used for caged matches between humans and ghosts, depending on who Dan wanted to watch fight to the death.

One such match was taking place in the former gorilla habitat, and the combatants were Bertrand against Walker's bounty hunter, Bullet. Surrounding the cage were several former prisoners of Walker cheering on at the carnage that was taking place.

Inside the cage Bertrand was thrown onto the ground. His face was pouring out ectoplasm as he stayed down with Bullet standing over him yelling like a wild man.

"COME ON GET UP YOU WIMP!" yelled Bullet as he picked up a sharpened pipe from the ground.

Bertrand tried to focus his ectoplasm as he attempted to change his form into a puma. However, Bullet rammed the pipe into Bertrand's torso causing the midget ghost to scream in agony as he halted his transformation. Due to the sudden attack, Bertrand lost focus of his transformation and was stuck in a mid-form between his human disguise and puma. He looked up at Bullet in fear as the former subordinate of Walker walked towards him while picking up an ax that was lying around in the cage.

"P-p-p-please have mercy," begged Bertrand.

"Mercy?" repeated Bullet as he raised the ax over his head. "THERE IS NO MERCY HERE!" he yelled as the ax came down and right into the middle of Bertrand's skull.

Ectoplasm sprayed all over Bullet as the crowd roared in excitement as Bullet dug the ax deeper into his opponent before he reached into Bertrand's body and removed his core. Bullet raised his hand into the air holding the core of his fallen foe as the crowd's cheering got louder.

Sitting above them in a makeshift throne made out of cement, bones, and metal, was Dan watching in amusement. With him was Samantha who was sitting on his lap with her arms around Dan's neck. Dan had an arm around Samantha and his hand was touching her form covered rear. Lounging around them were Samantha's hounds watching the victor of the match as he walked up towards their masters. One of the hounds was chewing on what appears to be the head of the former pirate/cowboy ghost boy, Youngblood. There were bite marks covering the severed head as the hound continued to chew on the head.

"Well done Bullet," said Dan as he was handed Bertrand's core by Bullet before crushing it. "I suppose you have now earned the right to gain your freedom," he continued.

Bullet didn't say anything, knowing that if he did say something he may upset Dan causing him to either go back into the cages or be killed on the spot. In his mind, Bullet was hoping that if he did upset Dan, he would be killed rather than thrown back into the cages. Dan and Samantha looked at Bullet knowing that the ghost was too scared to say anything.

"Well Bullet," started Dan as he touched his lover's chin. "You have two choices, you either become a leading in one of the hunting parties for the rest of your existence," he added. "Or you can face off against the champion for your freedom," he continued as he looked into his lover's mask before turned towards Bullet. "So what do you choose?" he asked with a sadistic smile on his face.

Another week went by and the humans in Amity Park were struggling with the rampaging ghosts that had sided with Dan. Inside Fenton Works, Tucker was in the basement sitting in front of a communications system. During the week of Dan's reign, Jack and Maddie had salvaged whatever pieces they could get from the Ops Center using the Specter Speeder. Despite Maddie's skills as a pilot, when several ghosts saw the Specter Speeder heading for the Ops Center they attacked. Whether the ghosts attacked because they saw them as new prey, a threat to Dan's control, or out of boredom nobody knew.

Along with Jack and Maddie were Star and Valerie's father Damon. Star was manning the weapons while Jack and Damon were over at the hatch preparing to enter the Ops Center when they got close to it. However, the ghosts that attacked were fierce in their attacks firing ghost rays and piling onto the Specter Speeder. One ghost managed to slash Damon in his left eye while another severely burned his right hand. Jack was scared by another ghost that clawed at his face leaving four long scars. Regardless of the attacks, Jack and Damon managed to gather a few communications equipment before returning to the Specter Speeder.

When they managed to return, Jack and Maddie were hard at work on constructing a communications system while Damon was being treated by a doctor that managed to reach Fenton Works in order to patch Damon up. Once the communications system was finished, Tucker volunteered to send out constant S.O.S messages to the outside world. So far, Tucker had not received any reply from the GIW or the National Guard. Despite feeling a loss of hope, Tucker continued to send out distress signals more so out of habit than anything else. After sending three more distress signals, Tucker left the communications station and headed upstairs.

When Tucker entered the kitchen, he saw his mother cooking food for all of the occupants of Fenton Works. His mother saw him and gave Tucker a warm smile, but Tucker didn't return the smile. Instead Tucker walked towards the den so he could use the stairs to enter the room he was staying in. When he reached the top of the stairs he saw Danny's room. He felt a stab in his heart when he looked at the room of the friend he deserted.

Danny's room still looked the same, due to their incorrect belief of their son's death, Jack and Maddie had Danny's room placed as off limits to everyone. In fact, no one had entered that room except for Maddie who comes in to dust it.

'I'm such an idiot,' thought Tucker as he turned his eyes away from the room. 'I really didn't think about how Danny ever felt. I only thought about myself and now look what has happened,' he continued to think bitterly.

"You're still feeling guilty?" asked a female voice from behind Tucker.

Tucker turned around to see Star standing behind him with her right hand on her hip. Much like her mentor, Star wore a HAZMAT suit but her suit was colored yellow. She had also taken the liberty of customizing her HAZMAT suit and seemed to have taken on a more melee oriented style. She had black gloves much like the Fenton's but on top of them were a single thin hand length katara blade. The blades were slid back so that they didn't hinder her wrists. Over her chest was a flak vest type chest armor that provided protection for her torso. Around her waist was a stylized belt with six small detachable blocks. She also wore black boots that were similar to combat boots only slimmer.

However the most defining feature of her uniform was the katana like sword on her back. Nobody knew where she got that sword, not even Star knew but when she was jumped by two male ghosts the sword appeared and Star used it to subdue her attackers. Ever since that time Star had kept that sword with her and it seemed like her customized suit was designed to complement the sword.

"How can I not?" asked Tucker. "I was there and I didn't notice what had happened," he added.

Before what had happened to the town, Tucker went with the false story the media told the world about Danny Phantom. He pretended to think that Danny Fenton was fine and was shocked to find out that his best friend was actually dead and his body was used by a ghost. The reason he went with that lie was because he was scared that if the Fentons or the GIW found out that he knew the real story, he would have been accused of associating with a ghost and aiding said ghost. It was a cowardly thing to do, but Tucker wanted to stay alive so he did what he felt was best for him to keep on living.

"None of us noticed," said Star. "Of course it was no surprise, I never once gave him a second thought until what happened to Kwan," she added.

"But I was his best friend," argued Tucker. "What kind of friend doesn't pay attention to the changes in his friend's behavior?" he asked.

"Try not to think about it, instead focus on what you can do to help everyone here," Star told him as she walked past Tucker and headed towards the room she was given.

Tucker watched as the last member of the former A-list walked off. Despite everything that has been going on, Tucker still wasn't able to stop himself from looking at Star. Especially her assets as he watched her swing her hips a little as she walked. Of course he remembered another lovely lady who seemed to have a similar walk like the young blonde, however that one got away because of his selfishness.

Sighing to himself, Tucker went into his room and lay down on his bed. He looked at the ceiling for a moment before closing his eyes. His mind wandered as he tried to get some sleep, dreaming of a beautiful blonde cheerleader turned warrior and a certain green harem woman dancing around him.

A couple of months later, just outside of the ghost shield barrier that separated Amity Park from the rest of the world, a large brigade of the GIW was directly in front of the eastern area that led into Amity Park. The brigade was composed of a few tanks, numerous ground troops, and two white armored trucks. In front of the brigade were the two most frequent agents that enter Amity Park, Agents O and Agents K.

Since their humiliating and painful defeat at the hands of Danny Phantom, Agents O and K were eager for a chance to prove their worth to the GIW. After extensive surgery and training with the new units, the two agents felt that they were ready for this battle.

"Preparations are complete," said Agent K.

"Activating the White Devil units," said Agent O as he activated a switch.

Inside the armored trucks, fourteen V shaped red lights appeared within each truck. The rear doors of the trucks opened as the sound of metal clanged onto metal in a rhythm that resembled marching. The machines were streamlined figures with white armor. The torsos of the machines had a T shaped base with white chest armor that hid some of the black wiring that connected to the arms, head, and legs. The arms were long and had sharp shoulders, the joints that connected to the forearms were well hidden that it was hard to see. The left forearm had three long fingers that were razor sharp while the right arm had a cannon that was as long as the other forearm. The barrel of the cannon had a triangular shape for no explained reason. The legs of the units were layered with white armor that ended with sharp points on the knees and the feet. The head unit on the machines was oval shaped with a large V shaped visor that glowed red. There were twenty eight of these machines in total and they all stood behind the two agents awaiting further orders.

"Activation of White Devil units complete," said Agent O. "Awaiting further orders," he continued.

"Begin Operation: White Plague," ordered Agent K as he gave the command for the White Devil units.

In one mechanical motion, the White Devil units began their march towards the ghost infested town of Amity Park. Once the robots gotten past the ghost shield, they had gained the attention of one of the many monitoring systems that were linked to Tuck. The information of the GIW automatons entering the preserve traveled instantly to Tuck's mainframe. The cybernetic ghost felt a slight jolt as the information was being processed by his systems.

Inside City Hall, Tuck went through the information before walking towards the office of the late Mayor of Amity Park. Tuck entered the office to see Dan sitting in the chair behind the Mayor's desk with his helmet off of his head. On the desk was Samantha sitting close to her lover with Dan's helmet in her hands while her pets were lounging around on the floor. Dan took a look at Tuck with a bored expression on his face, the flames on his head set at a low level signifying his boredom.

"What is it now Tuck?" questioned Dan with a tone that spoke of pain beyond imagination if Tuck wasn't careful.

"Apologies Lord Dan," started Tuck as he gave his leader an exaggerated bow as a means to show respect. "But my monitors have just picked up an invading force entering the town," he continued.

"And?" replied Dan.

"And, it would appear that the Guys in White had sent in a new strike force composed of twenty eight robotic machines," explained Tuck as he projected a hologram of the White Devil units. "Apparently, these 'White Devils' are designed as an advanced anti-ghost combat weapon," he added.

"Interesting," said Dan as he looked at the machines. "Have any of the inhabitants attempted to play with these new toys yet?" he questioned Tuck.

"Not yet sire," answered Tuck. "These machines had entered from the furthest side of the town, possibly as a means to catch us off guard," he speculated.

"Really," said Dan as he got out of his seat with Samantha handing him his helmet. "Then why don't we go welcome these White Devils?" he suggested as he put his helmet on. "After all, I'm sure we can put them to good use," he added as he took his mate's hand into his own before they left City Hall.

Back in Fenton Works, Tucker was in the basement trying once again to send an S.O.S signal when he saw something on the monitor. He saw what looked like an army of white robots marching down the street from the far the east of the town, from what he could tell, these robots had to be from the GIW. Tucker took a moment to marvel at the white robots before leaving the basement to find Jack and Maddie. Fifteen seconds later, Tucker returned to the basement with the Fenton couple to show them the news.

"Mr. and Mrs. Fenton look," instructed Tucker as he showed the monitor with the White Devil units. "Those machines belong to the Guys in White, they've come to rescue us," he told them feeling excited.

"It does look like those things belong to them," started Maddie. "But how can we be sure they'll be enough?" she wondered.

"Are you kidding Maddie?" asked Jack. "It's the Guys in White, the can handle these ghost punks," he told her. "Plus, we now have a chance to fight back and help them free the town," he added.

"Let's wait and see Jack," Maddie told her husband as they watched the monitor.

As the White Devil units reached City Hall, there were no encounters with any of the violent ghosts that roamed the town. In fact, just before he had left City Hall, Dan had sent out a message to all ghosts to stay out of sight while he attended to the robots that had entered the town. This has brought to this moment where Dan, Samantha, and Tuck standing in front of the building as the White Devil units reached their location. The machines stopped their march when their scanners identified the three ghosts as hostile targets and readied their cannons.

Dan looked at the machines with a hint of amusement on his face. He also noticed that just behind the machines was the convoy that carried the White Devils. Among those within the convoy were Agents O and K standing directly behind the robots. He looked at the two agents as if he was trying to remember them, but decided that they didn't matter.

"So this is what the people of the world have decided to use against us?" wondered Dan as he continued to look at the machines. "Hardly worth my time," he added.

"You'll see that our White Devils are more than enough for you three," said Agent K.

"Really, then humor me," challenged Dan as he stepped in front of Samantha and Tuck.

"Activating targeting systems," said Agent O as he directed the units.

"Commence attack," ordered Agent K.

The White Devil units raised their cannoned arms and opened fire on Dan. Green beams flew at Dan at blinding speeds that the beams looked like green blurs as they reached the powerful ghost. However, the beams hit an invisible barrier that caused the beams to scatter and fly around Dan and away from Samantha and Tuck. The two GIW agents were shocked but the White Devil units continued their assault while Dan let out a yawn as he waited for the units to stop their attack.

"That was hardly impressive," said Dan as he turned away from the GIW and started to leave. "Tuck, I'll let you handle this. I'm sure you can manage this," he told the cybernetic ghost before flying off with Samantha beside him.

"Of course, Lord Dan," said Tuck as he turned his attention to the White Devil units. "I'm sure I can find a better use for them," he added as the green lines on his chest started to glow.

Suddenly, the red lenses of the White Devil units started to glow green before the units turned to face the GIW. The agents along with the convoy were slowly beginning to panic as the White Devils raised their cannon arms at them. Agent O turned to Agent K as he tried to regain control of the units.

"Reestablish control of the White Devils!" yelled Agent O.

"I'm trying but the units won't respond to my commands!" yelled K as he tried to bring the units under control.

"It's useless, once I have control there is no way to stop them from doing my bidding," said Tuck as he walked towards his new toys. "Kill them all," he ordered.

Back in Fenton Works, Jack, Maddie, and Tucker watched in stunned horror as the Guys in White were being slaughtered by their own machines. Despite the cannons on the White Devils being designed to harm ghosts, the output of the machines was far above any of the weapons of the Fentons which in turn was lethal to humans. On screen one agent had the right half of his face blown off from one shot. Brain matter and blood didn't even fly out because it was all scorched from the beam. One of the trucks was turned over with the drivers still inside as seven White Devil units fired at the fuel tank causing it to explode with the drivers burned within. Agent O was backing away from the mechanized horrors until one rushed towards him and drove its clawed hand into his head, tearing the left half of his head off as the man screamed in horror and pain. Agent K tried to run but one unit shot at the back of his right knee, severing the lower part his leg from the rest of his body. He tried to crawl his way to safety, but one of the White Devils stood over him and in one smooth motion ripped his spine out of his back along with his head.

Maddie shut off the monitor not wanting to see any more of what was happening to the GIW. She looked at her husband and saw that he had a horror stricken look on his face. She noticed that Tucker was missing but figured he ran out of the basement to get away from the monitor and the horror that he had just witnessed.

"What do we do now?" asked Maddie as she looked at the stump that was her right arm.

"What we can do to survive Maddie," answered Jack as he got out of his stupor.

In another part of Amity Park, Vlad Masters was in his mansion watching the same footage that the Fentons were watching. Ever since the arrival of Dan, Samantha, and Tuck, Vlad had kept himself hidden away in his mansion and even as an added precaution had a ghost shield set up around his manor. The ghost shield had the same setting that was used when he had Danny and Jazz battling each other quite some time ago.

For a while, Vlad thought Dan was just Danny taking up a new appearance but now he wasn't so sure. Regardless, the older halfa could not deny that Dan had a lot of power and influence because he had successfully turned Amity Park into a madman's paradise. Beside him was the Fright Knight as they continue to watch the carnage that was taking place inside the city.

"This ghost is indeed a very disturbed individual," said Vlad as he shut off the monitor. "But I'm sure there is a way to defeat him," he added.

"How so my liege?" asked the Fright Knight.

"Clearly he shows his might through intimidation and brute force," said Vlad. "That is usually used by those who have power but no means of intellect," he added. "And that is where I excel at compared to this ghost," he continued.

"So what is your plan?" asked the Fright Knight.

"My plan is simple, I shall offer him an ultimatum that he cannot refuse," answered Vlad.

Author's note: That ends this chapter and I know it's not a lot but this chapter was mostly meant to help explain the situation for the people of Amity Park. Simply put, Amity Park is now a mix between a post-apocalyptic world, a prison on lockdown, and a city sized hostage situation. The situation was inspired by two of IDWs Transformer comic series, 'All Hail Megatron' and 'Last Stand of the Wreckers' due to the overall plots of both being perfect. I must also warn my readers that there will be small time skips within this story. Nothing too big such as skipping to five years into the future, the time skips happen within weeks to months which would lead up to a year for every three or four chapters.

Also I should point out that chances are not in anyone's favor in this story of who would survive the whole ordeal. For example, Youngblood has become nothing more than a chew toy and the sadist in me laughed about it. The only ones who I can confirm to not be on the list of casualties would be Danny, Sam, Dani, Jazz, and Vince due to them not being major characters as of right now. I plan on including side story chapters that feature these characters and how things are going for them. I may have those done as a separate story that happens within the same time frame as this story.

We'll just have to wait, see, and I guess pray for those who are alive or undead so far.
