Chapter 6: The Project
"You're sure this is a good idea Fenton?" Dash asked later that night
"Do you or do you not want more information on the Wisconsin Ghost?" Danny asked after having gotten permission from his parents to use the Speeder to take a shortcut to Wisconsin to work on his project. Luckily, Jack was out ghost hunting and Maddie had papers to grade, so Danny wasn't escorted by anyone but the bullies
Good thing Dash would rather have a good grade and not upset one of five of the top students in Ghost 101 than beat up Danny…at least until the project was over.
"Well, don't think this means I won't stop wailing on you" Dash told him
"I wouldn't have it any other way" Danny told him giving him a look that said My parents are teachers now and my Mom's VERY protective of me and doesn't give a damn that you're a football player
Danny drove to the Far Frozen and parked the Speeder
"Why are we at the Far Frozen?" Kwan asked
"We don't want the Wisconsin Ghost to find us, and the Speeder is a BIT noticeable" Danny told the jocks.
The jocks got out of the Speeder and Danny concentrated. He duplicated himself and turned the duplicate into Danny Phantom who phased out of the Speeder
Vlad DID have his moments.
Danny climbed out of the Speeder and Phantom appeared
"Danny? Dash? Kwan?" Phantom asked playing innocent. "What brings you three to the Far Froze?"
"We need to borrow the Infi-Map from Frostbite so we can do a report on Plasmius" Danny told his duplicate.
"I'll do better than talk to Frostbite" Phantom told the humans. "Plasmius is my arch-foe. I'll give you some information"
"Really!" Dash exclaimed "That's so cool!"
Phantom flew off. Danny concentrated on controlling his duplicate as he explained the situation to Frostbite who lent Phantom the map. Phantom returned with the scroll in hand
"This is the Infi-Map" Phantom explained to the humans "It's a map of the entire ghost zone and can take you ANYWHERE. Grab on"
"Okay" the jocks said confused
"Take us to Plasmius' lair…the one he's NOT at" Phantom said
The map pulled them to a lair causing the four to tumble out of a pink portal
"Whoa!" Dash exclaimed "Plasmius must be rich"
"He is. He uses his powers to gain money illegally making it LOOK legal" Phantom told the jock
"So he's a bad ghost" Kwan said writing down on a note pad as Danny filmed the lab
"We figured THAT out when Phantom said that Plasmius was his arch foe" Dash reminded his best friend
"What does Plasmius have against you?" Danny asked his duplicate
"I refuse to call him 'Dad'"
"He's your FATHER?" Dash and Kwan exclaimed
"No, but he wants my real Dad dead and to marry my Mom." Phantom told him. "I guess he saw my potential and wants to twist me to become like him. Well…and you can quote me on this…Vlad Plasmius is one CRAZED Froot-Loop who…"
"Meow"
Everyone turned to the sound of the 'meow' and saw a white kitten looking up at Phantom with bright blue eyes
"He got a cat. FINALLY!" Phantom exclaimed
"Hi Cutie" Kwan said to the kitten
"What's its name?" Danny asked trying so hard not to laugh at the fact that Vlad did what Danny told him to do.
Kwan checked the tag
"Maddie"
"UGH!" both Dannys exclaimed looking highly disgusted
The next week,
"Okay." Jack said in class as he and Maddie sat in the back. "Sam, Paulina, and Valerie. You're up!"
The girls smirked at each other and went up to the front of the class and put on the power point presentation.
First slide had the picture of the box ghost with the word "BEWARE" on top of it
"Box ghost" Sam started. "Annoying nuisance? Or Truly a ghost to fear"
"The Box ghost," Paulina put in "Is the ghost that holds the record for having been captured the most by Danny Phantom. In fact, Phantom had gotten to the point of allowing other ghost hunters, be them pros or wannabes, deal with the box ghost"
"We figured that the Box Ghost was once a warehouse worker in life before he was killed, no doubt by a few heavy boxes" Valerie said. "We attempted to interview him, but he just kept saying 'beware,' 'fear me,' and 'I am the box ghost'"
"We DID find out he has a crush on the Lunch Lady Ghost" Sam stated "And if he was to have a kid with her, the kid's name would be Box Lunch"
The slides were mainly just of pictures of the Box Ghost trying to act scary
"Pretty good job" Maddie said. "Jazz"
Jazz and a few other seniors walked up
"Walker." Jazz told the class as she showed a picture of the ghost. "Ghost Zone's warden. He has led an attack on Amity Park once and used the ability to overshadow people to his advantage. He has a book of rules and their consequences, most of which are unfair."
"Did you know in the ghost zone," a boy named Justin, asked "That if a human object is knocked into the ghost zone and a ghost tries to get it out, it's considered possession and is worth 1000 years in jail?"
"According to a Ghost Guard we managed to interrogate," a girl named Melissa added "Phantom got caught in that mess. But he staged a breakout and freed his enemies from the jail who were in there for crazy things like he was. In fact, according to the ghost, the incident where Phantom had kidnapped the mayor…it was the opposite. The mayor had been overshadowed and had kidnapped Phantom"
Danny gave his sister a smile of thanks. She returned it
"This makes things a bit…awkward" Jack said "Uh…Danny! Why don't you and your group go?"
"We did a video documentary" Danny told his parents as he had been very quiet about his project.
Dash and Kwan pulled up the T.V. and slipped the D.V.D. in
"We actually got a little help from Phantom because as it turns out, the Wisconsin ghost is PHANTOM'S arch foe" Dash informed the class
The screen showed a lab that looked a bit similar to the Fentons' but was more high tech.
"Whoa!" Dash exclaimed "Plasmius must be rich"
"He is. He uses his powers to gain money illegally making it LOOK legal" Phantom told the jock
"So he's a bad ghost" Kwan said writing down on a note pad as Danny filmed the lab
"We figured THAT out when Phantom said that Plasmius was his arch foe" Dash reminded his best friend
"What does Plasmius have against you?" Danny asked his duplicate
"I refuse to call him 'Dad'"
"He's your FATHER?" Dash and Kwan exclaimed
"No, but he wants my real Dad dead and to marry my Mom." Phantom told him. "I guess he saw my potential and wants to twist me to become like him. Well…and you can quote me on this…Vlad Plasmius is one CRAZED Froot-Loop who…"
"Meow"
Everyone turned to the sound of the 'meow' and saw a white kitten looking up at Phantom with bright blue eyes
"He got a cat. FINALLY!" Phantom exclaimed
In the classroom, Sam, Jazz, and Tucker were trying not to laugh
"Hi Cutie" Kwan said to the kitten
"Awww" the girls chorused and smiled sweetly and Kwan. Gotta love those sensitive men
"What's its name?" Danny asked trying so hard not to laugh at the fact that Vlad did what Danny told him to do.
Kwan checked the tag
"Maddie"
"UGH!" both Dannys exclaimed looking highly disgusted
"What's your problem with that name?" Dash asked
"That was my mother's name" Phantom told him. "Full name was…Madison"
"What else can you give us about your rival?" Danny asked
"He's half ghost. However, he just got a face full of ecto-tricity giving him a VERY, very rare case of ectno acne. This type can give people ghost powers"
"Is that what happened to you?" Dash asked
"I went straight to ghost form" Phantom told him.
"What's going on in here?"
The quartet turned to see Vlad Plasmius looking highly confused between the two Dannys.
"We're doing a school report on you" Danny said.
"So Plasmius?" Phantom asked tantingly. "CLONED anything lately?"
"Not since you and that brat destroyed my cloning lab" Plasmius informed Phantom
"DON'T call Danielle a brat" Phantom said dangerously as Danny let out a low growl. Phantom then turned to the humans. "Use the map and get out of here. I'll hold him off."
The humans jumped into the ghost zone and faintly heard an unearthly sound as Danny's Phantom clone was using the wail
"You okay Fenton?" Kwan asked as Danny felt himself go a bit weaker
"Yeah." Danny said moving the camera a bit after catching a very, very, very, very, VERY quick glimpse at a worn out Phantom starting to change back into Fenton "LOOK! A GHOST!"
"Where!" the two jocks exclaimed as behind the camera, Danny absorbed the duplicate
"False alarm" Danny said handing the camera over to Dash. "Well, there you have it. The Wisconsin Ghost, a.k.a. Vlad Plasmius, is a half ghost like Phantom who is out to get Phantom's family."
"Probably why he's also after your family too because Phantom and you look a bit alike" Kwan said
"Yeah right" the geek and the other jock laughed
The tape stopped and Danny turned to the class.
"To quote Danny Phantom, Plasmius 'is one CRAZED Froot-Loop'" Danny said
Everyone nodded in agreement.
