Chapter 5: Blood's New Academy
As Brother Blood was in the basement of Casper High, like before he did with the Titans East, he was controlling Dr. Chang while Dr. Chang's henchmen were bringing in the very item Brother Blood had requested from Freak Show into the scene. Freak Show was also there observing everything and showed Brother Blood to a table.
"That's right Dr. Chang" said Brother Blood as he was controlling him with his mind-control powers, "proceed with the operations. I would like our star pupil at my new academy to be ready for tomorrow."
"As you wish Brother Blood" said Dr. Chang in a hypnotic voice as he was about to prepare some a laser along with some other equipment.
"Good" said Brother Blood as he relaxed for the operation, "things are finally starting to go my way at last."
A few hours later, Danny was meeting with the Titans in an ally way along with Sam and Tucker. Danny had brought his dad's invention the Fenton helmet to the Titans and handed them out to the Titans and two to Sam and Tucker.
"Take these helmets" said Danny as he handed them to his friends.
"I look ridiculous wearing this" said Raven as she placed hers on her head.
"And I can't change into animals with this thing on" said Beast Boy.
"If we are going to take down Blood" said Robin as he was holding his helmet in his hand, "we're going to need it."
"But what about you?" asked Starfire as she placed her helmet on to Danny.
"Don't worry" replied Danny, "as long as I am invisible and a ghost, Brother Blood won't be able to brainwash me."
"Let's just hope he hasn't turned your school into his new academy" said Cyborg.
"I think we should skip school for today" said Sam as she was referring to Tucker as well.
"We will be watching you taking down Blood in a safer spot" said Tucker.
As the Titans along with Sam and Tucker approached the school in Cyborg's car, they waited a few blocks down and signaled Danny to head into the school.
"Use your Titan communicator" said Robin, "we'll keep in touch that way."
"Thanks" said Danny as he changed into his ghost mode.
As Danny flew into the school, the school was empty, despite the right time the school started. As Danny floated down the hallways of his school, some green goo out of nowhere came and got Danny into a sticky situation. As Danny tried to struggle to get out of his predicament, he turned around and noticed Dash along with Quan and several other Dash's friends wearing the ghost-hunting armor Brother Blood had acquired him from Danny's father.
"We have him headmaster" said Dash on his communicator to Blood.
"Excellent" said Brother Blood on the other end, "bring him to me."
"I don't think so" said Danny.
Danny then freed himself by producing a ghost shield and knocked the goo that was on him onto the walls nearby him.
"He's resisting the first attack" said Quan, "get him!"
"I don't want to hurt you" said Danny as he was trying to prevent Dash and his friends from not attacking him, "at least not even in this state."
Danny then fired his ghost beam from his hand and knocked one of Dash's friends unconscious, Dash then ordered a full charge attack at Danny, but Danny quickly turned invisible and flew out of the fight.
"We lost him" said Dash to Brother Blood on his communicator.
"Imbecile!" shouted Brother Blood from a concealed location in the school, "I thought you and your friends were the best. No matter, signal the second wave, and tell the leader of the second wave to bring me the ghost boy."
As Danny continued to flew through the school, he finally had entered the gym. Danny was so worried that he himself didn't even know what to do, so he then went behind the large benches and then took out his communicator.
"Titans, come in" said Danny as sweat started to run down his forehead, "I'm in big trouble here and I don't even know what to do."
"Don't worry" said Cyborg as he was starting to get out of his car, "we're on our way."
Suddenly a ray from nowhere knocked out Danny's communicator right off his hand and onto the ground. As Danny was about to pick it up, someone stepped and crushed the communicator. As Danny looked up to see who crushed his communicator to pieces, he was shocked to see it was Paulina along with some of her friends.
"Your time is up ghost boy" said Paulina.
"Look, you don't want to do this" said Danny as he was trying to convince not to attack him.
Suddenly one of Paulina's friends fired a ghost net at Danny, trapping Danny. Danny struggled to free himself, but he couldn't get out of this one. Paulina then signaled two of her friends to hold him in position.
"Ghost boy secured" said Paulina on her communicator to Brother Blood.
As Danny tried to free himself, a small piece of the gym's floor opened as a trap door and an elevator appeared with Brother Blood rising from the bottom. As Brother Blood finally reached the surface of the gym, he then approached Danny.
"So this is the ghost boy" said Brother Blood, "you two may let him go. It's time for him to know who the headmaster of this new academy really is."
"What do you want with me?" asked Danny as Paulina's two friends let Danny go, "You can't control the mind of a ghost."
"That's why I had Freak Show released from prison" replied Brother Blood as he signaled Freak Show to come into the gym along with Dr. Chang's henchmen.
Brother Blood then took a step further and then began to meditate by trying to concentrate on controlling Danny. Danny struggled and tried his best to resist Brother Blood's upgraded powers. Danny finally couldn't take it and submitted to Brother Blood's will by kneeling to Brother Blood.
"Headmaster" said Danny as he kneeled to Brother Blood, "I will be your loyal servant and your star pupil for your new academy."
"Excellent" said Brother Blood as he gave an evil smile.
"What is my first task?" asked Danny as he stood up to Brother Blood in a hypnotic trance.
"I want you to destroy the Teen Titans" replied Brother Blood.
"As you wish headmaster" said Danny as he bowed down to Brother Blood.
"Excellent" said Brother Blood as he gave an evil laugh, "I knew you would say that. Freak Show, Dr. Chang, prepare for the Titans. We're going to put on a little show for them."
Meanwhile outside as the Titans were heading toward the school, a shield from nowhere came out and surrounded Casper High.
"What the heck is this?" asked Cyborg as he was looking at the shield.
"We can't get through this" said Starfire as she fired some star bolts at the shield.
"And my powers won't be able to teleport us in there either" added Raven.
"I think my PDA can hack into it" said Tucker as he approached the Titans, "but it might take sometime."
"That's not going to be enough time" said Robin.
"I don't like it" said Cyborg, "but looks like we're going to have to wait this out until Tucker powers down this shield."
