Chapter Seven: It's a Nice Day to Battle for the Future Part Two

We rejoin our story with our heroes facing Vlad in a last ditch effort to save the Earth. Our heroes stood their ground as the glared hatefully at the man who had done so much damage to the world. Vlad just stood their grinning and looking slightly bored with the whole thing.

"So do you just want to surrender now, or do you want me to crush you first?" said Vlad, yawning a little.

"We'll never surrender to you!" said Danny!

"Yeah, you'll win over our cold, mangled, lifeless bodies!" said Sam.

"That goes double for me!" said Alicia.

"Ditto for me." said Valerie.

"We won't give up!" said Alex.

"Yeah, we've beaten you before!" said Tucker.

"Well I should have expected this, if you want to die foolishly then so be it." said Vlad.

Vlad powered up a big energy orb and hurled it at our heroes. They barely had time to get out of its path before it struck the ground with a large explosion. Vlad just stood there smiling that evil smile.

"That was just the beginning." said Vlad.

Danny and the others regain their fighting stance and launched themselves at Vlad. Magic, ecto and laser blasts flew through the air as Danny and the others tried to fight Vlad. Danny sent his ghostly lightning and fire in a combination attack, Sam sent an energy wave, while Alicia and Alex tried a double energy blast. Valerie and Tucker fired shot after shot from their ghost weapons at Vlad. All these attacks created a huge dust cloud around Vlad. Our heroes waited to see what damage they had done, as the cloud cleared they were shocked.

"Are you quite done?" said Vlad still standing there, completely fine.

"Oh crud." thought all of our heroes at the same time.

"Now it's my turn." said Vlad as he duplicated six Vlads.

The Vlad's began to attack our heroes. One sent a series of energy orbs, another sent our eye beams, and one more sent out some sort of energy whip, the other three did so as well. Our heroes dodged these attacks and began to fire back. Soon there was chaos as everyone was flying around in crazy patterns, with our heroes trying to avoid the Vlad's and the Vlad's trying to catch our heroes. Try as they might they could not beat the Vlad's, only leaving little scratches on them. The Vlads however were acting like it was a game, toying with our heroes.

"Argh! We're getting nowhere." said Danny, who was back to back with Alicia trying to hold off two Vlads.

"I know, but what do we do, he's all powerful." said Alicia, as she blasted one of the Vlads.

Suddenly Sam rolled in and fired at one of the Vlads, knocking him back.

"We have to get to the machine, its our only hope." said Sam.

"Sam, watch out!" said Valerie, as she blasted another Vlad duplicate.

"Thanks Val." said Sam.

"Don't mentioned it." said Valerie as she threw a ghost grenade at one of the Vlad's.

"Oh butter biscuits." said the Vlad as he was blown up.

As the battle was raging between Danny and his friends and Vlad, the battle between Skulker and Technus and the rest of our band of fighters was still going on, well, more like just Skulker.

"Oh yeah, well I am lord of all PDAs and CD players!" said Technus, still arguing with the Box Ghost.

"Ha! That is nothing, for I am king of all things that are cube shaped and are used to move items!" said the Box Ghost.

"Oh for the love of god, are they ever going to shut up." thought Skulker.

The skeletons and Vlad bots were doing some damage to our fighters, despite the fact Technus was not paying attention…or maybe because of it? Anyway they were doing well, they had managed to take down the specter speeders and the humans were now firing from behind them.

"This is looking bad Maddie" said Jack, firing at the ghost skeletons.

"I know dear, but we've been in worse situations before." said Maddie, as she turned a robot into a pile of broken metal.

"Yeah, we can beat these guys, this is just a set small set back is all." said Ben.

Then Maddie noticed that someone was missing.

"Jack, where's Danni?" said Maddie, not seeing her daughter anywhere.

Meanwhile the ghosts were having troubles of their own. Even though they could heal very quickly they were getting some damage. The Ghost Writer and Young Blood were currently hiding near Rob and Ember, mostly because the robots broke the Ghost Writers laptop.

"My poor, poor computer,what ever will I do without you?" said the Ghost Writer, huddled with his arms wrapped around his knees.

"Calm down, you sound like Technus." said Ember, as she sent a sonic attack at some robots.

"We're all doomed, their going to squash us! I want my mommy!" said Young Blood.

"Don't worry kid, we'll get through this, you wait and see." said Rob, as he turned an unfortunate skeleton into a pile of ash.

The rest of the ghosts were flying around trying to blast as many soldiers as they could. Johnny 13 and Kitty were driving around on his bike, trying to avoid being obliterated.

"Johnny look out!" said Kitty.

Johnny tried to dodge the laser blast, but it hit the bike and they fell out of the sky. The landed in a heap right next to Desiree and Abra Calamity.

"Hey guys, did you have a nice winter, because it looks like you had a great fall." said Desiree.

"Very funny, we don't need the jokes, right Johnny?...Johnny?" said Kitty, looking at her boyfriend.

"My baby, those jerks wreaked my baby. They will pay for this!" said Johnny as he flew into a rage and attacked the robots with blinding speed.

Soon a pile of robot and skeleton parts began to litter the ground around them as Johnny ripped through them.

"Wow, what got into him?" said Abra.

"He gets like that every time some one messes with his bike." said Kitty.

As Johnny was helping the girls, whether he knew it or not, Sarah, Robert, and Damian were hiding behind the other downed specter speeder.

"So Sarah, do you think this looks as bad as I think it does?" said Rob.

"The odds are stacked against us." said Sarah as she fired at the approaching enemy.

"Well I guess we have to hope that the odds change to our favor." said Rob, putting a hole right through a robot.

"I just hope our kids are all right up there." said Damian.

"I hope so too." said Sarah as she looked to the hill where Danny and the others had gone.

Back with our heroes they were not doing so well. No matter how many Vlad duplicates they destroyed Vlad could just make more. They however were running out of time, as they kept fighting they got more and more damage. They were all covered in cuts and burns, and starting to weaken. They began to fall one by one, the first to go was Tucker.

"Jezz, how many of freak'en duplicates can this guy make?" said Tucker.

"I don't know, we just have to keep blasting them." said Valerie, taking out another one.

Suddenly one of the Vlad's threw a blast a Tucker. He turned around just as it was about to hit him, a look of surprise on his face. The ectoblast knocked him back and into a rock, knocking him out.

"Tucker!" yelled Valerie, who ran over to him.

As she got there one of the Vlads spoke.

"Well this has been a fun game, but playtime is over." said the Vlad, an evil look on his face.

What followed next was more of a massacre then a fight. The Vlads attacked with a blinding fury that could not be stopped. First Alicia fell, trying in vain to punch Vlad, then Valerie, then Alex, and finally Sam fell after trying one last energy blast. Soon it was down to Danny, who was battered and bruised, nursing his hurt right arm. Standing in front of him were the Vlad duplicates.

"Well it looks like I'm down to the last little annoyance." said the original Vlad.

"You'll never win Vlad, the others will stop you." said Danny, trying to sound brave despite the situation.

Oh please, if even you and your friends can't stop me. What makes you think those weaklings can, but I am feeling a bit merciful. If you and your friends surrender to me I will spare your miserable lives." said Vlad.

"We will never surrender to you, you crazed up fruit loop." said Danny.

If there was anything Vlad hated most, even more then Jack Fenton, was being called by that name. He became incredible angry and began to power up an attack that would destroy Danny and his friends.

"Fine! If that's the way you want it, say hello to oblivion! yelled Vlad.

The attack grew larger and larger, soon it was the size of a house.

"Wave bye-bye to the loser Damien." said Spectra.

David was not very happy, even in his young mind he knew something bad was about to happen. He wanted to help his big brother but knew that he could not as long as Spectra held him. He began to cry as the attack reached it's final stage.

"This is the end for you Daniel!" said Vlad.

"Leave them alone!" said a mysterious voice.

Vlad turned to look and saw who had shouted at him.

"You!" said Vlad.

Rob: I'm know I'm down right evil for leaving it at that cliffe, but you'll just have to wait for the next chapter.

Ember: Yeah, but to make up for it they get to see Vlad being humiliated.

Rob: Your right, and now for the time when we make Vlad's life miserable. Rob pulls the hurt Vlad lever. On the screen we see Vlad taking a peaceful walk in the garden. Well that brief moment of peace is about to end.

Vlad: Ah! What a beautiful day, nothing could go wro… before Vlad could finish that sentence he saw ahead of him ten catapults loaded with rotten fruit, and manned by the Fluffy Army of Doom.

Leader of the Army: squeak, squeak, squeak! Translation: Ready, aim, fire! Soon a huge pile of rotten fruit hit Vlad, ruining his clothes. Then the Fluffy Army of Doom charged forward to attack Vlad.

Vlad: Ahhhh! Vlad quickly runs for his life, pursued by a wave of adorable destruction.

Rob: And so for another day Vlad's happiness has been destroyed.

Ember: Our work here is done.

Rob: So until next time Danny Phantom fans, read and review!
