PRESENT DAY IN THE GHOST ZONE...
Plasmius finished recounting his own version of the tale of Sam's demise to her, and waited patiently for her to speak. Of course, he had omitted the part about injecting Danny with a brilliant little formula he had invented that could throw any ghost's powers out of control for one minute. Better that she not remember that part. Better just to let her think that her precious Danny had gone berserk and killed her in a rage.
And when the much stronger version of his "Overload" serum was perfected, it would be the perfect tool to destroy the Fenton boy. With all the damage he would do, he would surely kill dozens of people. And with the inability to transform back into his human body, he would not be able to go home.
Finally, Sam spoke. Her voice was barely above a whisper.
"I don't understand. Danny would never hurt me."
"Dear Samantha," Plasmius cooed, using her full name to get her attention. "I'm not saying it was intentional, but it did happen. It was his fault, and you're here with me because of it. And if you ever want to move on from the Ghost Zone, you have to get your revenge on him. Then your business on Earth will be finished, and your spirit will be free."
Sam could barely believe what she was hearing. She shook her head in denial. "No, you're wrong! I don't want revenge on Danny!" She closed her eyes tightly and muttered, "There's something else. Oooooh, why can't I remember?"
Plasmius was well aware that, under normal circumstances, the girl would begin regaining her memory before too long. He quietly and casually got up and moved around behind her, where he took a syringe out of his pocket and stuck the back of her neck with it.
Sam flinched and moved a hand up to her neck. "Ow! Something just pinched me!"
The white-clad ghost grinned at Sam, "Nonsense, it must be your imagination. Now, what were you saying just now?"
For a moment, Sam just looked at him blankly. Plasmius' smile grew wider.
Finally, she said, "I...don't remember."
Another success, Plasmius mused. With frequent injections of his "Memory Blank" formula, Sam would never be able to remember that she wasn't stuck in the Ghost Zone because she wanted revenge on Danny. She was surely stuck there because she wanted revenge on him.
But with no memory, and no where else to turn, she would have no choice but to believe everything Plasmius told her.
Yes, yes, I know it's a lame joke to make Plasmius' formula the same name of an episode of the show. Screw you for judging me! More to come, hopefully with longer chapters. The set-up in finally done, so the angst can officially begin.
