Chapter 2: Clockwork's Plan
It was several hours since Vlad Plasmius had released Loki's army into the ghost zone and of course Clockwork teleported Plasmius, Danny, his two friends and the ghost doom marine to Orchid Bay to come up with a strategy to stop it.
"So what do you have there?" asked Clockwork to Danny as he was unpacking his backpack.
"It's a new anti-ghost armor my dad has been working on" replied Danny, "sort of a mini-ecto suit but would be more stable."
"And what do you want to do with me?" asked Vlad.
"Just this" replied Monroe as he used some sort of wand and trapped Vlad Plasmius in a bubble.
"You're not very serious are you?" asked Vlad to Clockwork.
"I think I have had enough with you meddling into the affairs of the magical realm" replied Clockwork to Vlad, "I think you should really sit this one out. You caused enough trouble."
"So this must be Vlad Plasmius?" asked June as she and Ray Ray walked in and notice Vlad in the magical anti-ghost bubble.
"Uh, miss Juniper Lee" replied Vlad as he began to sweat, "long time no see?"
"I think this face would be more familiar to you" replied Monroe as he used the magic wand again to change Vlad back into his normal human-self.
"Just be lucky that you're in a bubble to protect you" said June then she turns to Clockwork, "so what's the situation so far?"
"Well" said Clockwork as he used his staff to create an image of the ghost zone, "Loki's top general and his men have caused quite a lot of havoc. Even more so than Pariah Dark even did when he was released by Plasmius, anyway, I suspect he would want to head here first considering this is the main epicenter where you protect the magical realm."
"So you're going to work your powers to make it easy for us?" asked Tucker.
"I'm afraid not" replied Clockwork, "even if I were allowed to do such, those demons have the ability to protect themselves from my powers."
"Then there must be some magical source to those demons if why so many are prepared to pour on in such many numbers" added Monroe.
"That is correct perhaps" said Clockwork, "in my opinion I think their first target would be the magical elders whom oversee the magical realm along with the actions of the Te Xuan Ze. So I think it would be a good idea if you and Danny can head there ASAP."
"I'll go there with them" said the ghost marine, "after all I'm the one whom should have stopped Vlad over here from opening the gate in the first place."
"Good plan" said Clockwork then he turns to June, "you should probably put that armor which you were fighting against the evil former Te Xuan Ze-Kai Yee."
"That might not be a bad idea" said June as Ah-Mah gave her the armor, "I'll be putting this armor on in my room."
"So what do we do with him?" asked Ah-Mah as she pointed to Vlad.
"I think I might have an idea" replied Clockwork.
"I can really tell this won't be good for me" sighed Vlad.
"Well" said Danny as he got the anti-ghost armor out as he was heading to a bathroom to change into the anti-ghost armor, "I think it's time I need some privacy."
Meanwhile the scene switches to Skulcker's floating island as Skulcker himself was having quite some trouble with the invading demonic army led by a large cyberdemon. Skulcker did his best by firing several hundred rockets against the ghost soldiers and of course the numerous imps and demons that were coming after him. It was quite messy even for Skulcker as the targets were quite numerous.
"Skulcker has never had these many targets to fire at all at once" said Skulcker as he was scanning the area and noticed the demonic hordes, "but it's sure practice for me to go right after that old ghost boy."
Suddenly a rocket from the leading cyberdemon hits Skulcker sending him crashing right into the bushes. He then recovers from the attack and zooms in with his jetpack and loads up a machine gun from his high-tech suit and begins to fire at rapid speed. The leading cyberdemon was too quick for Skulcker as it managed to dodge the various attacks and fired another rocket sending Skulcker crashing against a tree branch leaving him completely surrounded by the cyberdemon's demonic hordes.
"Ha!" said Skulcker with a more confident voice, "I can still make your skins into pelts and trophies!"
"That's what you think" replied the head cyberdemon as he singled an arch-ville to approach Skulcker.
"Ha!" replied Skulcker as he cracked his knuckles, "You're going to hit me with that? I can take that thing on quite easily."
"I don't think so" replied the head cyberdemon as he snapped his finger and the arch-ville sent a strange sort of fire right directly at Skulcker.
The strange flames make a direct hit on Skulcker, causing his suit to heat up quite rapidly. It was too much for the midget ghost inside the suit, so of course the midget ghost pressed the eject button and ejected himself back into the safety of his lair.
"What about the ghost that was inside of it?" asked an imp to his commander.
"Leave that coward" replied the head cyberdemon, "we came what we were looking for, and we should in time know the very location of the epicenter of the magical realm to which the Te Xuan Ze protects and defend."
The leading cyberdemon's henchmen took Skulcker's computer suit and hooked it up to a portable computer to which they had with them. Suddenly the image of Orchid Bay appeared and of course the image of Amity Park.
"I don't think that one is our main target" said the head cyberdemon as he passed on the image of Amity Park then he began to look at the image of Orchid Bay, "but I do feel that one is are prime target where the power of those elders are."
"Uh, sir" said an imp as he approached his commander, "I think Loki stated that we were not suppose to go anywhere once we were freed."
"What Loki doesn't know won't hurt him" said the head cyberdemon, "I say we head full speed!"
