Chapter 10: Vlad's Discovery

After arriving in the Specter Speedier, Jackie, Jade, Uncle and Danny immediately got out inside the museum. In the next hallway, Hak Foo, Fynn, Ratso, Chow and this time Vlad Plasmius were coming right behind them.

"We have to be careful" said Jackie, "we don't want to trip the alarm system."

"Got it" replied Danny.

Meanwhile on the other side of the museum, Chow, Ratso, Hak Foo, Fynn and Vlad were searching for the guardian amulet.

"This place is huge" said Ratso, "I doubt we would ever find the amulet."

"Will you please shut up already" said Vlad, "I'm getting impatient here."

"Maybe the new big V can change into a ghost and find the amulet for us?" asked Fynn.

"Me, do your dirty work?" asked Vlad in such an astonished voice, "But I suppose it's the best thing for me considering that ghost child is close by. Skullcker, come here."

"Sorry for the late delay" said Skullcker coming out of the wall nearby.

"Yea, what took you so long?" asked Chow.

"Let's just say I had to go to the local library" said Skullcker.

"Glad you could make it" said Vlad, "I want you to keep the ghost boy and his friends busy."

"That I can do" said Skullcker, "but what if that old kook tries to use his voodoo magic on me?"

"Don't worry" said Fynn, "we'll be right behind you."

"Just don't go too fast flying through the walls to make it impossible for us to follow you" said Chow.

"Then don't lose your direction" said Skullcker as he was prepared to become transparent.

"You might want to use this little device" said Vlad as he handed Hak Foo some device.

"What is it?" asked Ratso.

"It's a ghost tracking device" said Vlad, "would make your trek with Skullcker a lot easier."

"Come on, let's head out" said Fynn as the rest of the Dark Hand started to follow Skullcker.

As Jackie, Jade, Uncle and Danny were getting closer to the amulet; Danny all of a sudden felt a cold chill down his body. He immediately knew that a ghost was near by and changed into his ghost form.

"What with you with turning into a ghost?" asked Uncle, "Uncle has a spell that can make the ghost go away, remember?"

"Hey Uncle, look what I have on" said Jade showing Uncle the Fenton Ghost Grabber.

"Jade, how could you!" shouted Uncle, "Using that fool's technology instead of my magic!"

"Jade, those might be dangerous" said Jackie.

"Okay uncle Jackie, you wear them" said Jade as she was taking the Ghost Grabbers off.

"But I don't know how these things work" said Jackie as he was putting them on.

"Now you are putting those excuse of gloves on?" asked Uncle, "I have no nephew!"

Suddenly Skullcker and the Dark Hand entered the hallway where Uncle and Jackie were arguing.

"Did you miss me?" asked Skullcker.

"Look what type of weird gloves Chan has on" laughed Chow.

"See, I told you" said Uncle, "this technology is useless to Uncle!"

"How do these gloves work?" asked Jackie.

"Just grab Skullcker and find out" replied Danny.

Danny races pass Skullcker and enter Hak Foo's body once again, while in Hak Foo's body, Danny goes after Fynn, Ratso and Chow. Jackie uses the Fenton Ghost Grabber and blocks Skullcker's fist.

"How did you do that?" asked Skullcker.

"Uh, it's the gloves?" replied Jackie.

Skullcker gets so angry that he takes out his knife and tries to slice at Jackie. Jackie however, manages to dodge the attacks while still wearing the Ghost Grabbers on. Danny seeing this kicks Chow, Fynn and Ratso unconscious with Hak Foo being controlled. He leaps out of Hak's body and heads to help Jackie. He punches Skullcker right in the face as Skullcker was too busy fighting off Jackie. Skullcker flies through a wall and Danny quickly follows behind. Hak Foo gets out of the trance and sees Fynn, Chow and Ratso all mourning on the ground. Jackie then sees his chance and leaps and kicks Hak Foo right to the ground.

"I think Danny is buying us time" said Jackie, "let's get that amulet."

"Only on one condition" said Uncle, "you take those ridiculous excuses of gloves off!"

Jackie, Jade and Uncle finally reach the room where the amulet is located in a glass chamber, only to find it missing. Suddenly Vlad Plasmius comes out of the walls holding the amulet in his hands.

"Looking for this?" asked Vlad as he was showing the amulet to everyone in the room, "I have to go now, because it looks like that I have a time passage to change and take back what is mine!"

"Not if I can help it" said Jackie as he leaps toward Vlad with the Fenton Ghost Grabbers.

Jackie grabs Vlad's leg as he was about to fly away.

"What is this?" asked Vlad as he looked down to see Jackie pulling his leg with the Fenton Ghost Grabbers, "One of my nemesis' inventions actually works? I guess I must say that he wasn't a complete fool after all. Looks like you are the bigger fool than he ever was."

"That amulet does not belong to you!" shouted Jackie.

"Oh, it does now" replied Vlad as he was aiming at Jackie.

As Vlad was about to fire from his hand, Danny immediately came into the scene and knocked Vlad down to the ground.

"So I see that you have improved your skills since we last met" said Vlad, "but you haven't improved enough!"

Suddenly Vlad created three separate duplicates of himself.

"Now I will be happy to take you two out now!" said all four Vlads.

"Uh, Uncle" said Jade, "this will be a good time to use one of your Chi spells."

"I suppose this will teach that ghost boy a lesson" said Uncle as he was preparing his Chi spell ingredients, "that you must use magic, not technology to fight ghosts!"

While Jackie and Danny were dodging Vlad Plasmius' attacks, Uncle and Jade were preparing the Chi spell. Finally the preparations were complete and both Jade and Uncle began to chant. Suddenly the three copies of Vlad Plasmius couldn't take it anymore and went back into the original Vlad Plasmius. Jackie seeing this opportunity uses the Fenton Ghost Grabbers and takes the amulet from Vlad's hand. Vlad couldn't take Uncle's chants anymore and left the building, Danny however managed to cover his ears to not hear his chants. While Uncle was finishing his chanting, the Dark Hand in another hallway got up and knew that their boss and Skullcker were not around until Skullcker came into the room again all beaten up.

"What the heck happen to you?" asked Chow.

"I was about to say the same thing to you" replied Skullcker.

"Let's get out of here" said Ratso.

"Fine" said Skullcker.

"But before we do that" said Fynn.

Fynn purposely tripped the alarm system by pulling the fire alarm.

"Have you gone insane?!" cried Chow.

"Don't worry" said Skullcker as he was pushing buttons on his pad, "I will be able to get the portal to the ghost zone up and running in mere seconds."

The Dark Hand and Skullcker went into the portal with the scooters. The portal closed, leaving Jackie, Jade, Uncle and Danny unable to get to Chi Master Fong in time to avoid the authorities. The police immediately came right in, only to find Jackie, Jade, Uncle and Danny. While they were being brought outside and the police were about to head toward the area where the Specter Speedy was, Captain Black and other Section 13 agents came right up in black cars.

"Can I help you?" asked the head officer.

"I'm from the government" said Captain Black showing his badge, "I'll handle things from here."

"Looks like we can just get some doughnuts" said the head officer to the other police officers.

As Vlad Plasmius was heading back to his mansion on another failed attempt to gain power, he saw Jackie and Captain Black talking to each other.

"Perhaps the bald man in the trench coat is the key in bringing down Danny and his new friends" said Vlad, "time to do a little cat and mouse game."

As Jackie shook Captain Black for helping him not get arrested for just stopping the Dark Hand, Captain Black got into his black car along with other Section 13 agents. While Jackie, Jade, Uncle and Danny were heading home, Captain Black was unaware that he was being followed by a malevolent halfa willing to rule the world under his control.
