Amity Park, Wyoming Friday January 28, 2005

Danny stood up on shaky legs, his mouth hanging open, gaping at what he had just done. His mind began swimming, murderer, it yelled at him. And it was indeed all his fault, even if it was an accident, he was guilty of manslaughter at least. He stumbeled back trying to collect himself. What could he do? He had killed a fifteen year old girl who'd seen enough personal tragedy in the past year to fill... Well.. her life wasn't that tragic, now that he thought of it. So what if that ghost dog had accidently wrecked the lab her dad was supposed to be securing. So what if the contract was lost and her dad became poor? She'd deal with it! She still had it better than half the world anyway.

But she didn't have anything anymore... She'd been ejected from her body by a blast of ectoplasm--the strongest he'd used since...

Suddenly, a blue cloud escaped his mouth as something triggered his ghost sense. And then, the area infront of him shimmered as a figure became visible. A figure clad in white and red, with green skin, and the ugliest hairstyle this side of anime. Danny's emotions were a mixture of fury and confusion as he saw the sickeningly satisfied grin on his face...

"Vlad..." Danny stated with the same emotional mixture. Suddenly it made sense. It was Vlad that supplied Valerie with her arsenal! It was Vlad who gave her the ghost-hunting gadgets! "This... THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" Danny screamed, taking a swing at his arch nemisis.

Vlad lazily blocked the blow, grabbed Danny's fist, twisted it, and threw him against the ground. "You know, Daniel," Vlad quipped,"or should I say Inviso-Bill, if this town hated you before, they're really going to burn you at the stake now." His smarmy rich bloake accent seemed almost tame compared to the combination of mock and acid with which he said "Inviso Bill"...

Danny fired another ecto blast, angrier than ever at Vlad Plasmiusthe man who wanted to murder his dad and steal his mom and the monster who was responsible for Valeries death!

Not entirely responsible, quipped Danny's super-ego.

Vlad also deflected that with ease. Then he did something that surprised Danny. He removed a remote from his right hand, which had remained behind his back throughout the confrontation so far. "Daniel. I am only going to say this once. You and your mother will join me as pupil and wife respectively, or your father dies here and now. What do you say?" An evil grin played across his face.

"I'll never join you, Vlad." Danny shot back. "When are you going to hammer that into your thick Machevellian skull!?"

Vlad pressed a button on the remote.

Marty and Doc Brown, after several fruitless attemps to turn off the ghost portal, gasp in horror has a strange robotically-armoured apperation appears infront of them, yanking the small portal up by it's base, severing the power cord. The portal turns off immediately and Marty smacks himself in the head, Think, McFly, Think, echoing in his mind.

The large robotic ghost is accompanied by several other ectoplasmic beings, one of them very similar in style to Doc himself. He seems giddy at the sight of all the technology, abandoned by the fleeing humans. And of course, being the Master of Long-Winded introductions that Technus is, he cannot resist saying something to the only 2 remaing humans in the tent, other than the oblivous Jack Fenton..."I, Technus, hip and groovy master of all technology, will now shizzle your dizzle by destroying you and taking your wonderful technology to build my new body!" He procedes to make good on this threat, but in reverse order. All the non-ghost hunting tech in the room suddenly flies into the air and forms a body of gadgets around Technus. Then he fires several usless items at Marty and Doc as they dash towards the exit of the tent.

"Run for it Marty!" Doc yells.. But before they get far, the world suddenly becomes white... Then black.

Outside the town hall, Timmy eyed his prize. The 1982 model DMC had several strange gadgets on the back, one of them labled "Mr. Fusion."

"I wonder what that means," Timmy says to his fairly odd wristbands. "Sounds like the name of a lame energy drink parody."

"Maybe it's like a super hero!" Cosmo yells, "or a super villain from a comic book!"

"Whatever," comments Timmy. "You guys can't give me the skills or the liscense to drive, but we can stow-away! I wish we were in stealth mode!" Stealth mode was a little something Timmy had concieved of when he was eleven. Cosmo and Wanda would make both themselves and Timmy invisible, and their voices were only audible to each other. Cosmo and Wanda raised their wands and suddenly, Timmy and his pink and green wristbands were completely invisble to even the most advanced stealth detection systems.

"Yeah, Sam Fisher ain't got nothin' on me," Timmy joked as he jumped in the car, and removed his Gamebuddy Plus from his pocket. He might as well pass the time with some Super Mangler Brothers until whoever could drive the car got back. Then he'd make his move... But suddenly, the Gambuddy went awry, and a huge flash filled the windshield of the Delorean, followed shortly by an enourmous thunder clap with enough decibels to pump some adrenaline into the Head Pixie.

Danny looked up and saw the remains of the tent where the tech fair had been. In the center of the blast sat a ball of tent materials and table peices and gore, in a perfect spear... And his dad's orange hazmat suit, stained red from blood, was part of that spear. Danny wept, anger boiling inside him...

"I warned you," Vlad said cooly. "You thought you called my bluff?" He gave a derisive snort and another evil smirk."You called wrong."

Vlad turned intangible while Danny was paralyzed by grief, and slid into Valeries lifeless form. He spoke from that body in her voice. "Let this be a lesson that nobody crosses Vlad Masters." And as he flew away, he spoke in his own. "By the way, Daniel. I did finally break down and get a cat. His name is Jack, if you're curious."

Danny's white transformation rings slid into being and he powered down to human form. His grief overwhelmed him. Killing Valerie was bad enough, but having his father murdered within the same ten minutes. His body just couldn't handle it in the end, and he passed out...
