Chapter 3: The Clutches of Evil
As Madame Rogue stood in the doorway in her fighting stance, she launched her fist at Danny and Skulcker, but they quickly went invisible. Danny then fired a green beam from his hand, while Skulcker fired from his weapon. Madame Rogue quickly dodged the attack as she stretched herself back into the hallway.
"This can't go on right here" said Sam to Danny as he became visible, "you and Skulcker have to get out of here."
"For once" said Skulcker as he also became visible, "I think we should team up to defeat this new hunter. If this new hunter replaces me, then I'll have no major prey to go after."
Danny and Skulcker then left the room. After they left, Madame Rogue along with Maddie and Jack Fenton busted into the room with Jack and Maddie carrying anti-ghost weapons.
"We're did those ghosts go to!" asked Jack as he was searching Danny's room.
"I could have sworn those two ghosts were right here" said Madame Rogue.
"I don't know where they went but" said Maddie as she took out the Fenton Ghost Finder, "they seem to be outside of our house."
"Then we'll have no choice to face those two ghosties outside" said Jack.
"Uh, why don't you two stay inside and watch the fight?" asked Madame Rogue to Jack and Maddie.
"Are you sure you don't want us to help you?" asked Jack.
"I'm sure of it" said Madame Rogue, "I have everything under control."
As Danny and Skulcker appeared in an alleyway near the Fenton house, and as they reappeared, Madame Rogue was waiting right there for them.
"You two are not going anywhere" said Madame Rogue, "I'm here to find what makes this ghost boy tick, and I'm not going to let anyone else stand in my way."
"Split up?" asked Danny to Skulcker.
"Okay, why not prey" replied Skulcker.
As Danny and Skulcker went in the opposite direction, Madame Rogue then went toward Danny. Danny tried to dodge Madame Rogue as she stretched her arms at him. After Danny thought he had dodged them all, Madame Rogue finally grabbed Danny and attempted to strangle him with her powers.
"You'll never get away!" shouted Danny as he was trying to get out.
"But I already have" said Madame Rogue.
"I demand you let go of my prey or else!" shouted Skulcker as he had his weapon aimed at Madame Rogue.
Skulcker then fired his weapon at Madame Rogue. She then quickly dodged the attacks and stretched her fist right at Skulcker, sending Skulcker right at the wall.
"Face it" said Madame Rogue, "you have been replaced."
"This isn't over yet" said Danny.
Danny finally busted out of Madame Rogue's clutches and fired a ghost beam at her, sending her flying across the street and onto the ground. As Madame Rogue was getting up and recovered from the attack, Danny got into position and used his ghostly wail. The ghostly wail made Madame Rogue cover her ears as well as Skulcker.
"This is too much!" shouted Madame Rogue.
"Then you might want to think twice before you mess around with me" said Danny.
Danny then launched his fist at Madame Rogue, sending her flying across the street and hitting a wall. Danny then grabs her and then places her right in the dumpster that was in the alleyway.
"You think you have one ghost boy!" shouted Madame Rogue as she got out of the garbage, "I'll be back with help from the Brotherhood of Evil!"
"Not on my watch you won't" said Skulcker as he appeared near the dumpster then Skulcker grabs the dumpster and throws it down the street, "this prey is mine and not going to be the prey of this Brotherhood of Evil."
"I think you better go" said Danny to Skulcker.
"You're right" said Skulcker then he disappeared, "until next time prey."
Danny then changed back into his human mode as Sam, Tucker, Jazz, Jack and Maddie came into the scene.
"Where did that reporter go?" asked Jack to Danny.
"Uh, she left once she couldn't take the fight" replied Danny.
"Aw" said Maddie, "that's too bad."
"Well, we let's get back to the house" said Jack.
As everybody left the scene, the dumpster Madame Rogue was in had stopped in the middle of a deserted road. She then got herself out of the dumpster and got her communicator out.
"Madame Rogue to Brain" said Madame Rogue.
"What is your report on this ghost boy?" asked the Brain.
"I was unable to do the job" replied Madame Rogue.
"You disappoint me" said the Brain, "I was hoping there would be some good will come out of this."
"But please, give me another chance" said Madame Rogue, "there was another ghost helping the ghost boy. The ghost that was fighting the ghost boy."
"Your failure with the ghost boy is inexcusable" said the Brain, "if you need help in defeating this other ghost, I shall send in Mala the Gorilla."
"I would be honored in helping Madame Rogue" said Mala.
"Good" said the Brain, "then I expect you go and help her against the ghost boy and this other ghost."
The next day Danny, Tucker and Sam were walking to school, Madame Rogue was disguised as an old woman reading a newspaper sitting on the bench. As Madame Rogue was pretending to read the newspaper, the three passed her.
"This is Madame Rogue to Mala" said Madame Rogue, "they are heading your way."
"I'll make sure this would be the ghost boy's last and final fight" said Mala who was hiding in his hiding place.
"Don't fail like I did" said Madame Rogue.
"Failure is not an option for me" said Mala then he noticed Danny, Sam and Tucker in his sight, "I think it's time to put the Brain's plans into action."
