Chapter 5: Plans and Conflict

As the neon dome closed overhead, Danny and Dani went to city hall to gather with the rest of the town to make plans for battle to come. The citizens of Amity Park gathered round the building to gain answers as to why the city was once again, within another ghost shield. Dodging and phasing through the crowd, they made it into the building and walked into the conference room. In the room was his family, some local law enforcement, Sam and Valerie Gray. Noticing that the mayor wasn't there, the two phantoms walked over to the group.

"Hey where's Tucker?" Asked Danny while looking around in case he overlooked his best friend.

Then suddenly the door behind them opened as Tucker walked in, followed by his assistant who was pushing a dry erase board.

"Please sit down everyone while I explain everything." Requested Tucker as his assistant brought the board to the front of the room. As they all took their seats, Tucker took out a pointer as his assistant flipped the board around to show a map of Amity Park.

"As you all know we are under attack, so I went to make some strategies of how we are going to hold back the ghosts that are attacking us. But first we have to know what ghosts are attacking us, and seeing that the Phantoms were the only ones present to know exactly who it is I will turn it over to them if they wish it." Said Tucker as every one's eyes turned to the two halfas.

Being the first to speak Danny spoke "What we're dealing with here are your pretty average ghosts, and as to who we're dealing with will be Technus."

"We can beat them with no sweat but knowing Technus, we'll have to be cautious since according to records he's a level 6 threat. So, he may not be as powerful as some ghost, but he's no pushover either." Acknowledged Dani as the others in the room nodded, till Valerie spoke up.

"So what's the plan Tucker? I mean for those of us who have experience fighting ghost we can beat him ourselves, but with a bunch of goons at his side, and whatever else he has in store for us we won't be able to touch him."

"Which is why we will not attack for our number one priority right now is evacuating the citizens out of the city." Stated Tucker

"But this ghost shield isn't an ordinary one." Said Jack

"What do you mean?" Asked one of the officers.

"Well for instance with our equipment that we've built, one of our devices can detect a ghost shield being activated because they emit certain wavelengths on the ghostly plane. But what's surrounding us right now is more of a containment field that won't let anything living or dead escape. So we're basically trapped till we find the device that keeps the field up." Maddie said in a matter of fact way.

"Which is where Danny comes in, cause from looking at this plan of yours you want Danny to break through it to help everyone get out. While the rest of us hold back anything that Technus throws at us." Said Sam.

"Exactly what I'm thinking so, if Mr. and Mrs. Fenton help arm the police with any ghost fighting gear that would help tremendously." Said Tucker as he pointed out City hall, "Once the police are ready they will hold City hall and try to make sure that nothing gets past them as the civilians are being evacuated through east side of the city. And if anything gets past them, the Fenton family and Valerie will be the last line of defense since Danny will be busy breaking through the barrier. Once every citizen is out of harm's way, we'll turn the tide on them forcing every ghost back as far as possible."

Nodding in agreement at the young mayors' plan, they all went into action. Every police officer went door to door spreading the news to evacuate, while the ghost hunters readied every weapon in their arsenal. Within a few hours every citizen in Amity was at the east road waiting to be freed from the soon to be war zone. Danny in his ghost form took a deep breath and unleashed the Ghostly Wail, soon the barrier began to rumble and shake as a hole was torn through. Nearby Tucker and Sam urged the people to hurry through as everyone rushed out of the city. Suddenly an explosion was heard coming west in the town. Tucker pulled out his walkie talkie to check what was going on, "Captain Matthews, what's going on over there?"

"Mister mayor we just got attacked by some ectoplasmic monsters, they're coming by the hundreds. But we're holding them back so far."

"Don't worry we almost have everyone out, we'll be over there shortly do you copy?"

"Copy that."

While Tucker was talking to the police captain, Sam's parents were in the midst of trying to convince their daughter to come with them.

"Please Samantha we need you to come with us and be safe." Urged her mother Pam.

"I'm safe right here mom with Danny." Retorted Sam

"For the love of god, young lady how do you know he can keep you safe? What happens if you get hurt?" Asked her father Jeremy.

"He saved me countless times as I did him, we watch each other's backs no matter what dad. And not once have I gotten hurt by him or his enemies."

Knowing that their daughter was right about many things they didn't want to let her stay, so they continued to argue back and forth until someone said. "That's enough the both of you, do you not have the sense to know that she wants to stay here."

Looking towards the voice, it was Sam's grandmother Ida. Looking at her son she said "She has faith in her beloved that he will keep her safe. And if her faith is strong enough and she is that sure of it then let her stay. Because as we stay here arguing that young man over there is struggling right now to make sure that we can make it to safety." Looking towards our hero, they could see that he was slightly flickering back and forth from his ghost and human form. With a sigh both Pam and Jeremy said good bye to their daughter as they left with Ida. Once everybody was out of the field, Danny stopped and fell to his knees. Sam ran towards him and held him close to her chest as he joked "How long did I hold out this time."

Looking at her imaginary watch she said, "About three hours straight if I may say so myself."

"How can you tell?" Danny asked.

Sam pointed to his left to a clock tower 15 blocks away, "You started screaming at a quarter till 2 in the afternoon, now it's a quarter till 5."

"I guess the kids will get their smarts from you."

"And who said that we might get together?" Asked Sam with her eyebrow raised.

"You know Clockwork, the Observants, and a bunch of other people that I'm too tired to name."

Laughing at their little talk, Danny stood up and not a moment too soon did they see a horde of Technus's minions charge at them each carrying a metal cube in one hand. Within 100 meters of them the cubes morphed in their hands and extended along their bodies and became ecto-skeletal suits of armor. Once each of the goons were overshadowing their robotic suits all of them shouted,

"Prepare to die Phantom!"

Quickly Sam pulled a white and green disk from her pocket and activated it, in a brief moment it transformed into an arm cannon. Charging up to wreak havoc on the ghastly horde, Sam stared them down as she said,

"Not on my watch assholes."

A single shot flew out of the cannon, decimating the first forerunner of the oncoming horde as the goon combusted in neon green flames, and she didn't stop there as she rapidly fired into the horde. Danny seeing his beloved joined in the fight, diving into the front lines blasting ghost rays through the mechs. But their onslaught couldn't last forever, as the robotic horde activated their weapons systems each one of them armed with an arm cannon and a single arm blade. In a few moments, the trio were hard pressed against a demolished building as the techno goons slowly advanced toward them as Tucker pulled out his walkie talkie.

"Is anyone able to back us up over here? We're getting holed up over here, and we don't know how long we're going to last."

Static was all he heard for a while till, "Me and Jazz are coming your way, Captain Matthews and the rest of guys are still holding up while grandma and grandpa are picking off any that are trying to sneak past the line."

"And what of Valerie?" Asked Tucker.

"She scouting out the rest of ghost that are against the line so we can go on the offensive."

"Alright let's do this."

Picking up his ghost rifle, he set his sights as he fired another round at their enemy.
