The smash of a coffee cup could be heard from Fenton Works. All Fenton's eyes were on the screen as the news revealed Vlad's escape from prison.
"Witnesses confirmed that the one who made it possible for Vlad Masters escape from the high security prison, was none other than Venelope Hawkeye, also known as Vladia Plasmius. Revealed months ago as the only daughter of the former half-ghost."
"This can't be happening…..I don't believe it." Maddie said, turning off the TV.
Jack walked up to her from behind and placed his hands around her in comfort as he said, "And here we thought that we'd never have to hear that name in this house again."
"One thing's for sure. Whatever Venelope is up to, she wants her father to be part of it." Dale said.
"What are we gonna do guys?" Jazz asked.
"What we always do Jazz, we find out what they're up to and stop them no matter what." Danny said.
"But first thing's first, we need the whole team gathered. Dani, call the others and let them know what's going on." Dayla said. Dani nodded and began making some phone calls.
"Ah home sweet home. It's been too long since I've been back in my old laboratory." Vlad said, smiling as he stood in his former home.
"It's not much of a hiding place, but it'll do for now until we complete our plans." Venelope said as she changed back into her human form.
"Of course my daughter. Now please sweetie, tell me what the full plan is and what we need to do first." Vlad requested.
It wasn't long until Sam, Tucker, Andrew, Tabitha, Sonya, Jimmy and Valerie had come to Fenton Works. All of them had already seen the news that morning and had shared the Fenton Family's shock at what they had seen. But the next shock came when Sam pulled out something from her bag as they stood in the lab.
It was the book that Venelope had stolen from the museum. Sonya asked, "Where'd you get that Sam?"
"I found it sitting on the edge of a full dumpster on my way over here this morning. Venelope must've thrown it out after finding what she was looking for." Sam answered.
Tabitha took the book from Sam's hands and began flicking through the pages as she suggested, "There might be a clue here to what she found and what her plan might be."
But as she went through the book, she noticed the ripped edges of the page that had been ripped out between pages 75 and 78.
"She took the page with her guys." Tabitha said.
"Is there an index at the back of the book that can tell us what was on that page she took?" Jimmy asked.
She went to the back of the book and looked, but she shook her head and answered, "There's no index."
"Okay. We'll maybe we can find another copy of the book." Valerie suggested. She then asked Jazz, "Can you search to see if there's another copy available?"
Jazz nodded and started searching the computer for the same book. She then said after a few minutes of searching, "There's only one copy available and it's at the Amity Park Library. Apparently it's an extremely rare book and they stopped making copies for it back in 1985."
"Why?" Tucker asked.
"Apparently even though it started as a huge hit at the start of the 70's, people stopped buying the book at the start of the 80's and not too long after, they stopped making copies after the author died." Jazz answered.
"Who was the author?" Andrew asked.
Tabitha looked at the author's name and answered, "Tobias Writer."
Jazz looked him up and gasped as she instantly recognised the author and said, "It's Ghostwriter."
"What?!" Everyone shouted in shock.
"Who's Ghostwriter?" Tabitha asked.
"He's this ghost in the Ghost Zone that once tried to kill Danny, Mr Lancer and I by making us live through books. He's basically the Ghost Zone's librarian and has a keyboard that allows anything he types happens." Dayla answered.
"I'm going to get the book." Jazz said as she got up and headed out of the lab.
"Okay. While we wait, Jimmy and I will go into the Ghost Zone and get Ghostwriter. He knows more about ancient relics and items than anyone else." Dani said, changing into her ghost form.
"Uh guys, what if he refuses to come?" Sonya asked.
Dani smirked and said, "It's a good thing we know the Queen of the Ghost Zone. There's no way he'll refuse an order from the Queen."
Jimmy grabbed her hand and then he and Dani went through the Fenton Portal and went into the Ghost Zone.
"After I stole the book from the museum, I looked through it. Hoping to find any object that will finally allow me to have my revenge against the wrong that the world has done to you father." Venelope explained. "Until finally, I discovered the page I now hold in my hand. It's the perfect object that will finally get rid of Team Phantom once and for all. The Staff of Dreams and once we have it, we can get you your ghost powers back and take down Team Phantom once and for all."
"Where is it?" Vlad asked.
"It's the Ghost Zone and there's only two ghosts that know where it is." Venelope answered.
"The Staff of Dream?" Jazz asked Ghostwriter. "That's what she wants?"
"It's been so long since I have seen my own book. It was the first book I ever wrote when I was alive. Yes Jasmine, it seems that Vladia Plasmius and her father are going after the Staff of Dreams." Ghostwriter answered.
Though Ghostwriter at first refused to come to Fenton Works, Queen Annaya had ordered him to go and help them and as much as he didn't like it, he could not refuse a royal order made by the Queen of the Ghost Zone herself.
He opened the book that Jazz had managed to get from the Amity Park Library and showed them the page that Venelope had taken from the other copy. The page showed a picture of a purple staff with a blue orb at the top of it.
"Okay two questions. One, what is the Staff of Dreams and two, how did you manage to write a book about the Ghost Zone?" Valerie asked.
"To answer your second question, I actually met an ancient ghost when I was alive and he told me all about the ancient relics of the Ghost Zone and even ones that could be found on Earth." Ghostwriter answered. "In fact, my book was what inspired Freakshow to write his own book about the relics that could be found on Earth. As for your second question, the Staff of Dreams is another powerful object. It has the power to grant any wish without consequences or disasters and reverse any spell that was placed on someone."
"Venelope must want the staff to give Vlad back his ghost powers." Dale suggested.
"We won't let that happen. We can't let that happen." Dayla said, remembering when Vlad had his ghost powers, all the pain and trouble he had inflicted on them.
"We won't sweetie. We'll stop them no matter what." Jack said in determination.
"Where is it Ghostwriter?" Danny asked.
"I don't know. There's only two ghosts who do. Zortheus and Nocturne." Ghostwriter answered.
"Then we better get to Zortheus before Venelope and Vlad does." Dayla said. "I just hope we're not too late."
