A/N: Okay! No one has completely figured out the secret message yet. I really hope I didn't make it that hard, lol. Oh, well. So, I'm giving more backup info in this chappy. By the way: Who was the ghost that killed Jack? Hopefully, you can figure out that and the secret message after reading this chappy. Also, I'll get the fourth chappy out as soon as I think of an ending for it.

And now, back by author's demand, REVIEW RESPONSES!

Liaranne: Thanx! Where might I take it exactly, coz I'm not that sure? Lol. Please, do tell me if it's confusing! I want to make it even more confusing! Lol. Thanx again!

Unlikely-to-bear-it: That's how I describe MY brotherS, too. Lol. THANX! HERE'S MORE! Lol. That was what I was going for. Ya see, Alan is more like Danny, but Alex is more like Sam. (Their grades prove that. Lol.) I do, too! So, his son should be, too, dontcha know? Once again, HERE'S MORE!

"I can't believe it!" Alan said the next day. "Dad knew Grampa was gonna die!"

"Duh!" I replied. "The letter said, 'Someone is going to die, other than me,' by the way, how close are we to finding out what Dad really meant?"

"Farther than when we started." Alan wasn't very happy with how this was going, and neither was I. Cassie and Brad could tell we were angry and kept a small distance away from us, especially with that eye-beam power we just got. It still shoots off in human-mode.

"What about that ghost that killed Grampa?" I asked. "Didn't it sound kinda like—"

"No!" Alan said. "That's just impossible."

"Right, but we should check out that ghost."

"I'll do it!" Brad said as he and Cassie ran up to us.

"Maybe you two should check the Ghost Zone?" Cassie suggested. "Maybe you'll find your dad!"

"Yeah!" I said.

"I doubt it," Alan replied angrily. He gets ticked real easily.

"Well, let's just try the internet," Brad said, "then, later on, you two can check the Ghost Zone." At Alan's glare, he added, "Just to see."

"Fine," Alan said.

Later in our room.

"Find anything yet?" Alan and I asked Brad. He shook his head.

"All I've found is that this ghost has been terrorizing towns for the past few years," Brad said.

"How many years?" Cassie asked.

"Get this, it's been eleven years since he was first sighted. The first sighting was in Amity Park, on May 13, 2015."

"A lot happened that day," I stated.

"Hey," Alan said. He had that look in his eye that said, hello brilliant idea! "Check what all happened that day!"

"O-kay," Brad said. Within a few minutes, he yelled out, "Whoa! I think we're onto something!" When we came over, he read some sections from the site for us.

"Global ghost attacks, multiple deaths, several disappearances, tons of crime sprees, jails destroyed, and, get this, two self-appointed rulers behind everything."

"All that because of two people?" I said.

"Yeah, apparently," Cassie and Alan replied.

"Check this out!" Brad said. "Those rulers gave their names and a speech. One said he was Vlad Plasmius—"

"Knew it!" I said.

"The other?" Alan asked.

"I'm looking for it!" Brad answered. "Vlad gave a loooooong speech about taking over the world. Something about, 'now that I've teamed up with my partner, we shall rule ghosts and humans!' Ah, here's what the other one said, 'I used to care about all those people we're killing. I used to want to protect them. What did they give me in return? Nothing. They even went so far as to try to kill me, even though I'm already dead, kinda.

" 'When I first met Vlad, I thought I'd never be like him. I was blinded by my stupid, idiotic morals. I felt life was more important than power. I can see how wrong I was now.

" 'When Vlad offered me this position at first, I refused. Over time I developed a real split-personality. One side didn't want to join, the other side did. One side chose life, the other chose power. In order for one to rule, the other had to be killed. The side that wanted life would never, could never kill someone. That side was murdered by the power-side. The result, moi.

" 'After taking over, Vlad and I decided to have some fun. We set free all the ghosts in the Ghost Zone. We destroyed the jails. We killed as many as we could. May 13, 2015, ah, I love that day, will go down in history as the day ghosts overtook the world! We will be infamous! No one will be able to stop us! We will rule both worlds and species, for we are the only of our kind!

" 'So, to all those who knew me before, all those who mocked or ridiculed me, all those who hunted me, all those who wanted me dead, oh, how the tables have turned! My initials may not have changed, but I sure have! All of you will live to regret the days when you tortured me! Oh, wait, I forgot! You won't live! You know why? Because you went against me! You will be the first to go! You lost your lives the day you went against me without giving me a chance, without giving me the benefit of the doubt, without even getting my name right! So now, you will all perish because you despised me. For I am now a Plasmius!' That's all he said."

I was thunder-struck. Alan was mouthing wordlessly. There's no way, no way it could be who we think it is, but all the evidence points that way.

"This is terrible," Cassie said. Alan and I looked at her. She was reading over Brad's shoulder.

"What?" I asked, somewhat amazed my voice-box was working.

"Those two Plasmiuses are hoping the younger one's kids convert to being Plasmiuses, too!"

"That's…bad," Alan said quietly.

"We've gotta find those kids and keep them from doing that!" Cassie said.

"Guys, it gets worse!" Brad said. "The Plasmiuses are still at large, even after eleven years!" I gasped.

"Do you know where they are?" Alan asked. We were thinking the same thing.

"Yeah…" Brad answered.

"Where?" I croaked.

"In a town just outside Amity Park," Cassie replied.
