The giant beam was still in production underground. The construction was done by dark colored, cube shaped machines. Vlad led Crocker to a large red curtain.

"Well, here you are, Crocker!" Vlad pulled the curtain by raising his hands. Crocker's eyes widened at what he saw. It was a glass tank of fairies, possessed by ghosts.

"This is marvelous!" Crocker said, then he starting tapping his index finger on the glass. "I wonder how more powerful these fairies have become!" Suddenly, a ghost fairy lunged towards him inside the glass, and started barking like a dog. "Note-to-self: add no tapping signs next time." he mumbled to himself.

"I still don't understand your obsession with these fairies. What is the whole appeal about those fairies or their magic?" Vlad asked.

"What?!" Crocker asked. "How do you not see the appeal of fairy magic?! Don't you realize all the limits you can exceed?!" Crocker in his mind, saw a mansion with statues of him. "You can wish to be the richest man in the world!" He then saw himself in a palace, with flames around him. "Or, you can become the ruler of the Earth!" Then, he held a meatball sandwich. "Or you could just wish up a sandwich." Crocker poofed out of his imagination spot.

"Well, I'm already one of the richest men on Earth, and I especially don't need magic to take over anything!" Vlad responded. "Besides, wheres the fun in letting magic do all the work?l"

"Eh, suit yourself!" Crocker grabbed a cup, and put it under the glass tank. Of course, there was a nosil, which Crocker pressed down the top of. A cloud of magic poured out of it, landing in the cup. Crocker drank it, but immediately spit it out.

"BLEH! This is the most disgusting Goo I've ever tasted!" he said. But then, his whole body started shaking. "Ooh! I'm feeling it! I feel the power inside me! I wish I had fairy powers! HEH HEH HEH HEH!" Crocker zapped a ray from his hands. It turned one of Calamitous' robots into a pumpkin. He flew off the ground. "Great! I got fairy powers! Now to do some victory flying!" Crocker zoomed in the air. "Look at me, I'm Peter Pan!"

"Great! Just to add to the annoyance!" Vlad said to himself.

"Sounds like someones a little afraid of being overpowered!" Crocker said, still floating.

"Oh please!" Vlad replied. "The day I become jealous of you is the day something as nonsensical as ghosts saving the Earth from an asteroid happens!"

"But I've got the same abilities as a magic fairy! Therefore, I'm just as strong as you!" Crocker said.

"I wouldn't think so, Denzel!" Vlad replied. "Magic always has its limits!"

"Oh yeah, we'll see about that!" Crocker zapped a beam at Vlad, which he blocked with a shield, with an annoyed expression on his face. "Case closed!" Vlad responded.

"Oh poo! Guess I need more strength from the Magic Goo!"

Crocker grabbed another cup and poured more ghost fairy clouds into it.

"So much for an evil syndicate!" Vlad said, then he turned to Calamitous, who was using a blow torch on a piece of metal inside a pole. "And why is our name the Evil Syndicate anyways? We sound like some corny 60's superhero cartoon!"

"Hey, I came up with that name!" Calamitous responded. "...Well actually, I remember hearing that name on that Ultra-Lord cartoon in my universe, and then I thought..!"

"Wait? You actually did take our name from a cartoon?!" Vlad snapped. "Are you kidding me?!"

"Well, every single other evil name has been taken!" Calamitous responded. "Besides, it sounded so perfectly evil! So you shouldn't mind it!"

"Well Finbarr, it's hard not to mind it, since we're going to be rulers of the universe and beyond it, yet our name is STOLEN FROM A PIECE OF CHILDREN'S MEDIA!"

"Can you guys be quiet?" Plankton snapped, as he was on a giant map. "I'm trying to plan my business!" Plankton continues putting pushpins on the map. "Let's see, we'll add more over here, and over there..!" ZAP! A beam destroyed the whole map. "Hey!"

"Sorry, I'll zap you a new one!" Crocker replied.

"Oh lord, please tell me the beam is almost done." Vlad said, getting tired of all the frustration, with his hand covering his face.

"Oh heavens no, we still have much work to do! Unless their was a quicker way to build the beam!" Calamitous said. They both saw Crocker, and spawned a lazy idea.

"Crocker, we may need your magic for this." Vlad said,

Crocker gave an evil grin on his face. "Say no more, I've got it covered! Now it's time to say goodbye to Dimmsdale!"

Yeah, this might've been not the best chapter, but I really wanted to focus on the chemistry of the villains, or at least have some humor. Next time, we go to Spongebob.
