Ghost King Danny: Book 1
A Danny Phantom Overlord Fanfiction
Author's Note: Hey guys! So here's Chapter 12! We get to finally see what Vlad's plans are! Danny's plans are next chapter. Enjoy!
Danny and his friends were playing D.O.O.M, after going over their plans of course, when Jack burst into his room.
"Hey, Danno, guess what!?"
Danny looked up to his father, who had a huge smile on his face. The smile was so wide Danny feared it would split his face.
"What is it dad?" Danny said tentatively, fearing for his father's facial muscles because his smile was just too big to possibly fit onto his face.
"My old college friend Vlad is coming over to visit you and Jazz. He really wants to spend time with you guys." Jack was still extremely enthusiastic about Vlad's visit.
Danny looked towards his two friends and saw an apprehensive look on their faces, somehow, mirroring his own. Luckily his father didn't seem to notice…or did he?
Jack, contrary to the 95 percent of Amity Park that blatantly stated otherwise, was not stupid. He saw the furtive looks Danny cast towards his friends. 'But why?' Jack thought. What reason would Danny, and his friends it seems, have to hate his best friend? He'd have to look into his son's hatred soon, maybe after Vlad leaves. Jack didn't want Danny and his best friend fighting, but maybe he could solve it.
Maybe…
Jack looked at his son with a somewhat dejected expression. This only lasted a few moments, however, as his face broke into a grin at the thought of his best friend coming over to visit him, and he walked with a spring in his step out of his son's room. That time Vlad had spent in the hospital after his proto-portal accident were probably the most painful months of his life, waiting for his best friend to get better. He had honestly tried to send something to Vlad while he was in the hospital, but it seemed everything that Jack sent never reached Vlad's hands, a fault on Amity Hospital's gift giving service PatientGiver; apparently the system had a bug that prevented anyone from sending anything to anyone. The Hospital had told citizens two pieces of news regarding this fact, the first being that they were working on the problem, and were close to fixing it, and the second news was that the system would have to be completely uprooted and redone, which unfortunately could take years to fix. During this time, he and Maddie had grown close, close enough that by the time the system had been fixed, it was time for their wedding invitations to go out. He had just hoped that Vlad didn't hold a grudge against him for the months he was in the hospital.
Jack was suddenly jolted from his musings when the doorbell rang. Jack's smile increased as he bounded towards the door, opened it so wide the door was almost torn off the hinges, and scooped up the elegantly suited man in a large bear hug.
"Vladdie! How've you been!?"
Vlad, looked at his (ex, in his head anyway) friend with a fake smile plastered upon his face, which, fortunately for Vlad, Jack didn't see past.
"Just fine, old friend, although it is quite lonely at my estate without you and Maddie." Vlad said Maddie's name with a lovesick smile on his face.
"Well maybe we should come over to spend the night one of these days." Jack said excitedly.
"Let me think on that." Vlad's smile then increased inside his head. 'All according to plan.' A minute later Vlad had his answer.
"Sure, friend! How's Saturday sound? Tell Danny that his friends are also welcome to join him."
"That sounds great! Let me just tell Madds and Danny, I'm sure they'll be thrilled!" With that proclamation, Jack left to go tell his family the wonderful news.
It was ironic, then, that Maddie herself decided to walk upstairs to the kitchen, just as Jack was going down to the lab to fetch her. The encounter caused the two to fall to the ground unceremoniously. A door was flung open in haste as a mess of raven hair appeared on the stairwell. Vlad stared up at the teen with a look that betrayed nothing, while Danny stared at Vlad with nothing but contempt. Danny then stomped back upstairs to his room. Jack, getting up from his entanglement with his wife, noticed Danny staring at Vlad. He's still wonders why Danny seems to, dare he say it, hate Vlad. Oh, well, he'll talk to him on Saturday.
Maddie, however, was a completely different story altogether. She remembered the incident with Vlad and Danny in the Rockies, including his blatant hatred for her husband and had taken steps to avoid the hopelessly love-struck multi-billionaire. She even had a set of regular human weapons to keep him at bay, should any of his many plans to kill her husband succeed, and he came to wed her and take Danny as his son. Speaking of her son, he seemed to really hate Vlad, and this hatred, according to her observations, began way before the Colorado trip, for what reason, she had no clue, but she was determined to find out, as well as the reason behind his abysmal grades. She knew Danny was a smart kid; hell, he had gotten straight A's up until…the accident, after which they had just tanked. Suddenly, almost everything fell into place for her. The grades, the off putting attitude she had noticed from him lately, even his sudden and extreme closeness with his sister, not that she was complaining, they all seemed to finally show themselves after the accident. Now that she had a reason for the sudden change, she just had to figure out how the accident had changed him. Right now, though, she had to deal with Vlad, ugh, she hated the man. Sure he was her best friend, next to Jack, even though Jack had "known him longer, but now. Now he had gone way up on the creepy factor, and had sealed her underlying, well not really underlying, she showed her hatred of him in many ways, he was just too love-struck to see it.
"Hello, Vlad. I was unaware that you were coming over today." Maddie said slowly grinding her teeth in her head, while her face faked a smile, for Jack's sake.
"Yes, Maddie, how are you on this beautiful morning? Well, I hope?" Vlad was almost to the point of staring at Maddie in her…regions, but seemed to hold himself back. Maddie saw this and was disgusted with him, causing a glare to erupt on her somewhat calm features, which, again, Vlad didn't notice.
"Jack tells me you have a new invention to show us?" Maddie asked the multi-billionaire.
Vlad seemed to snap out of his daze as he looked towards the brunette woman. His eyes seemed to snap open, wider than before he looked towards Jack, who was pilfering the fridge, and then looked towards the lab.
"Yes, maybe you and Jack would like to see it." With that, Vlad walked towards the lab and down the stairs.
Maddie wondered what was up with Vlad, but then remembered he was a creep and decided not to focus on that and followed Vlad down to the lab. Once there, Vlad dug inside his pocket for a little spy camera shaped like a ladybug that he had created specifically for this occasion.
"I have spent days working on a camera that when activated will activate a shock to any ghost within the house." Vlad looked, and using his peripheral vision, saw Daniel visibly cringe a few meters away, before walking back upstairs to his room slowly. Vlad looked back towards Maddie and Jack, showing them all the features the spy camera could do, from a ghost tracker to even a miniature gun. Jack had many words of praise for the man, and Maddie had the same, but much more resigned than her husband. However, the next few words had Maddie thrown for a loop.
"Would you two mind testing it in your home? I want to mass manufacture these cameras and I would like to know the results of the test."
Maddie was about to say something, but Jack interjected before she could even open her mouth.
"Of course, V-Man! How long would you like us to test them for?"
Vlad saw this as an opportunity and didn't hesitate to jump at the chance. Hopefully this would give him the answers he so desperately wanted.
"You know what, since we are such good friends, how's about you keep them? And don't worry about them being updated. All the software is updated wirelessly."
At this, Maddie rose an eyebrow. "Updated? Why would they need to be updated?"
At the question, Vlad looked towards Maddie. "Why, to protect them from ghosts tampering with them of course. I have all the latest technology needed to update them." At this, Vlad was bowled over in pain from Jack slamming his hand in his back. If he was a normal human, his back probably would've been broken. Thankfully he wasn't.
"Of course Vladdie, you get started on setting the cameras up and I'll get to packing for Saturday. Come on, Madds!" Maddie, grateful for the out, followed Jack with speed back up the stairs, leaving Vlad to begin tinkering with his invention. He, knowing he was alone, pushed pink ectoplasmic energy into the invention which caused the little device to awaken and float in the middle of the lab. Instantly, a screen popped up, showing three words.
Begin recording now?
Vlad pushed the little yes button that showed up underneath it and the device, under its own power, cloned itself and flew its way into Daniel's and Jasmine's rooms respectively.
He will get answers.
