Chapter Five: Vlad's Final Plan and the Fenton's Prepare
It was early mourning on Monday when Tucker and Jazz returned home, the sun had not even risen yet. The two teens were distraught because they had lost both Sam and Danny to Vlad in one day. They also had no plan as to how to get him back or how to stop Vlad. They needed help and there were only two people in the world they could turn too.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" said Tucker.
"We have no choice, we need Mom and Dad's help, we can't do this alone." said Jazz.
"But do you really think they'll help us." said Tucker.
"Of course they will, they would want to save Danny and Sam no matter what." said Jazz.
"Even when they find out Danny's secret." said Tucker.
"I know they love Danny, no matter what he is." said Jazz.
"I hope your right." said Tucker.
The two teens entered the house and waited for Mr. And Mrs. Fenton to return. They did not have long to wait because thirty minutes later the elder Fenton's entered the house.
"I can't believe we didn't find any ghosts at all." said Jack.
"Don't worry dear, maybe we'll have better luck next time." said Maddie.
"Yeah, I guess so." said Jack as he slumped onto the couch.
It was then that they noticed Jazz and Tucker standing in the door way.
"Hey sweetie, what are you doing up so early?"Maddie asked Jazz.
"Hey kids, want to hear about our ghost hunting trip." said Jack.
"Uh, maybe later dad, right now we need to tell you something." said Jazz.
"Ok, but where is Danny?" asked Maddie.
"Uh, its sort of about Danny...and Sam." said Tucker.
"What about them, are they all right!" said Maddie.
"Uh, not really, they sort of got...kidnaped." said Jazz.
"What! Who kidnapped them." said Jack.
"Uh, it was ghosts." said Tucker.
"How did they capture them." said Maddie
"They captured Sam at first, then they captured Danny when we went to rescue her." said Jazz
"I knew it! I knew that the ghosts would try to get to me through my children." said Jack.
"Uh, they sort of wanted Danny, not you." said Jazz.
"What, why." said Jack.
"Well, we have to tell you who is in charge of the ghosts and why they want Danny." said Jazz.
"You know who their leader is?" said Maddie.
"Yes, it was Vlad Plasmius, also known as Vlad Masters."
"What! V-man, how could he be their leader." said Jack.
"You remember the accident with the proto-ghost portal that Vlad had in college. Well it gave him ghost powers." said Jazz.
"I don't believe it." said Maddie.
"Well let use show you." said Tucker.
Tucker pulled out the laptop that contained the groups ghost files. He showed them the files about Vlad and the photos of him transforming. The Fentons were shocked that their best friend could be a half ghost. They finished looking and sat down to deal with what they had saw.
"I can't believe it." said Maddie.
"I can't believe that Vlad has been a half ghost all this time and we never knew." said Jack.
"He never forgave dad for the accident. He blames him for it and thinks that he did it to steal mom from him." said Jazz.
"He's been trying to kill Jack and steal Maddie and make Danny his son and evil apprentice." said Tucker.
"I'll kill that two timing so-called friend." said Jack.
"Why would Vlad want Danny to be a apprentice? He doesn't have any powers." said Maddie.
"Well, we were just getting to that, you remember that accident Danny had six months ago with the Fenton Ghost Portal." said Jazz.
"The one were he got shocked." said Jack.
"Yeah, well there was more to it then that, he sort of got...ghost powers." said Jazz.
"WHAT!" said Maddie and Jack.
"Yeah, he's the ghost boy, Danny Phantom." said Tucker.
"I can't believe it, but it makes sense. If Vlad got ghost powers from the proto-portal then Danny had to get powers from the portal too." said Maddie.
"I can't believe we've been hunting our own son, we're terrible parents." said Jack.
"You couldn't have known." said Jazz.
"What has he been doing with these powers." asked Maddie.
"He's been using them to fight the ghosts that come out of the ghost portal." said Jazz.
"I knew he would become a ghost hunter like his old man." said Jack proudly.
"What about the incident with the mayor?" said Maddie.
"We was framed by Walker, the ghost warden, he was hoping to drive Danny into the Ghost Zone by making everyone hate him." said Tucker.
"Well, at least we now know he's not evil." said Maddie.
"That may not be true now." said Jazz.
"What do you mean?" said Jack.
"Vlad has somehow hypnotized almost all of the ghosts in the Ghost Zone, and he hypnotized Danny and Sam too."
"We have to go rescue them." said Jack.
"We tried that and he just captured Danny." said Tucker.
"Well, maybe he'll come to us." said Jazz.
"Why would he do that." said Maddie.
"Because there's something here that he wants." Jazz said as she looked at Maddie.
"You mean he'll come for Maddie next." said Jack.
"Well, that seems to be his plan so far." said Jazz.
"Well what do we do?" said Tucker.
"We prepare a little surprise for him when he gets here." said Maddie.
"Yeah, no one messes with the Fenton family!" proclaimed Jack.
"So you'll help even though Danny's a ghost." said Jazz.
"Of course, he may be a ghost but he still is our son." said Maddie
"Well then we have to come up with a plan." said Tucker.
"Then lets get to it." said Jack.
The group of ghost hunters began to come up with their plan to face Vlad and rescue Danny and Sam. Meanwhile in Wisconsin Vlad was explaining his master plan to his minions. They were in the room he normally used for board meetings for his company, Dalv corp.
"My minions, I will now reveal to you my master plan." said Vlad.
"Yes master." said the ghosts.
"The first place we will conquer will be the city of Amity Park." said Vlad.
"When we get there we will begin be destroying the police station and the town hall and capturing all the police and the mayor." said Vlad.
"Then we will start rounding up the people and forcing them into the prison camp that will be built on the edge of town." said Vlad.
"Once we have done that we will find the Fenton's. We will capture the women and the girl and Ember will hypnotize them."
"Yes, master." said Ember.
Then we will kill the fat oaf, Jack Fenton, that's were you Daniel." said Vlad.
"Yes, father." said Danny.
"You will have the honor of killing Jack.." said Vlad.
"Yes, father." said Danny.
"We will reveal that you are Daniel, I can't wait to see his face when his own son kill's him." said Vlad.
"Yes, father." said Danny.
"Then once we have the city we will march on Washington D.C., you may be asking why?" said Vlad.
All the ghosts just stared at Vlad.
"Oh, that's right, you can't question me because of the scepter, well I'll just go on because I like to hear myself talk." said Vlad (AN: I know, why won't he shut up!)
"We will invade Washington because it has the eyes of the world upon it, so we will be guaranteed a audience." said Vlad.
"The United States is the most powerful nation on Earth, with the strongest army. Once the world sees that not even they can stand against us, even to defend their capital. They will surrender unconditionally, and even if some resist we will just crush them." said Vlad
"Do you understand?" said Vlad.
"Yes master." said the ghosts.
"Then all of you except Daniel and Samantha go off and prepare." said Vlad.
All the ghosts left the room, and only Danny and Sam were still in the room. Vlad came over to them and put his hands on their shoulders.
"I'm really glad that you have finally joined me." said Vlad.
"Yes, father." said Danny.
"Are you happy with life here." said Vlad.
"Yes father, especially with Sam by my side." said Danny.
"I'm glad to hear it, I've always wanted to do this, could you give your old man a hug." said Vlad.
"Sure father." said Danny.
Vlad and Danny shared a father and son moment and hugged. (AN: OMG Oo, they hugged, I'm going to be sick.)
"Thank you Daniel, now go prepare for the invasion." said Vlad.
"Yes father." said Danny.
Danny and Sam left the room and Vlad sat down to contemplate all that had happened so far. He had taken control of the ghosts and was going to use them to conquer the Earth. He had captured Daniel and Samantha and Daniel was going to be by his side as he conquered the world, and Daniel was going to be the one to kill Jack. Finally he would have revenge on Jack and take Maddie as his wife, finally all his dreams were coming true.
"Finally I will have everything that I deserve in life, a wife, a son, and the world Mwahahaha." said Vlad. (AN: Ok, Vlad's getting to happy again, time to ruin his day, author pulls the hurt Vlad lever.)
Suddenly a bucket of ectoplasmic goo falls on Vlad's head. Then a bunch of feathers fall on him, making him look like a giant, radioactive chicken.
"Who keeps doing this to me!" shouted Vlad as he tried to get the feathers and goo off. (AN: Mwahahaha, hey this evil laughing is fun, now I know why Vlad does it all the time.)
Meanwhile back in Amity Park the Fenton's and Tucker were coming up with a plan of their own. They had decided that the next move Vlad would make would be to come after Maddie and try to kill Jack. So they planned to have a little surprise waiting for him. Maddie would present herself to Vlad and claim to have left Jack for him because she realized Vlad was superior to Jack in every way. Vlad being the egotistical jerk he is would accept this at face value, not realizing Maddie would secretly be looking for the thing Vlad was using to control the ghosts and Danny. While she was doing this the rest of the group would fight the ghosts and try to rescue Danny and Sam. They were just going over the plan.
"So everyone clear on the plan." said Maddie.
Everyone nodded their heads.
"Good, anyone have any questions." said Maddie.
"Yes, what do we do about the mind control Vlad has Danny under." said Tucker.'
"I don't know." said Maddie
"There has to be some way to get him out of it, some way." said Jack as he absent mindedly placed his hand on the Fenton Ghost Mind Control Neutralizer.
"Uh, maybe we could use your new invention dad." said Jazz.
"Of course dear, we can use the Fenton Mind Control Neutralizer, you're a genius!" said Jack.
"That's what I've been saying for years." said Jazz.
"But Jack, it only works at short range." said Maddie.
"We'll just have to fight our way to Danny. Once he is safe we can beat the stuffing out of Vlad." said Jack.
"Now that we have that out of the way, it's time to suit up." said Maddie.
Jazz got the same color jumpsuit that Maddie had, while Tucker got one that was yellow with red on the arm bands and a red belt. Everyone got one thermos and one blaster, Maddie got the Fenton Bazooka, Jack got the Jack-o-Nine tails, Tucker got the Fenton Fisher, and Jazz had the Fenton Ghost Peeler. It was getting close to midnight as the group finished preparing. Then a alarm went off, Maddie went to check on it.
"It's the Fenton Ghost Invasion Alarm, there's a large group of Ghosts headed toward town." said Maddie.
"That must be Vlad." said Jazz.
"Well we're ready for him, everyone to the Fenton RV." Jack said.
Every one piled into the RV and raced to the edge of town to face Vlad and save Danny and Sam.
They would be in for the fight of their lives.
At the Edge of Town.
Vlad and his army were just passing the Welcome to Amity Park sign at the edge of town. It was a huge army of many different ghosts, from regular ghosts to dragon ghosts and ghost knights. Vlad was riding a ghost horse at the head of the army with the Scepter of Obedience at his side. the Fright Knight and Danny were to either side of him, with Sam sticking close to Danny on his saddle. Also around Vlad were all of Danny's (former) enemies, such as Skulker, Technus, Ember, Johnny 13 and Kitty, Desiree, and the Lunch Lady. Unfortunately the Box Ghost decided to hang around them too.
"Finally, we will bring the humans to their packaged and postmarked doom!" shouted the Box Ghost.
"Why won't he leave me alone." thought Vlad.
"Well son, are you ready to crush the pathetic humans." Vlad said to Danny.
"Yes father." said Danny.
"I can't wait to see my beloved punish those who dare to stand in your way master." said Sam.
"Yes, I know you do." said Vlad.
"I will not fail you father." said Danny.
"Yes I know, just remember to let Jack see who you are before you kill him." said Vlad.
"Yes father." said Danny.
The army marched father towards the town, people on the outskirts of the city noticed the army and ran into their homes to cower in fear. Some were not so lucky and they were captured and thrown in the quickly built prisoner camp. Those who could get away ran back to the town and temporary safety. Just as they were about to enter the actual town a familiar figure stepped out of the bushes ahead, the ghosts were about to fire on them when Vlad recognized a blue jump suit.
"Wait you fools, hold your fire." said Vlad.
The figure walked up to Vlad.
"Maddie?" said Vlad.
"Hello, Vlad."

Me: What do you want Vlad.
Vlad: It's about how you keep hurting me.
Danny: I think it's funny.
Vlad: No one asked you! Vlad sends Danny through a wall.
Vlad: Now I insist you change that. Vlad picks me up by the collar.

Vlad: Really?
Me: Yes, now if you'll just stand on that platform.
Vlad: Ok. Vlad steps onto the platform.
Me: Now if you just wait all my problems will be solved. Author pulls the hurt Vlad lever.
Vlad: What do you mean?...AHHHHHHHHH! Vlad is catapulted out of my room into a garbage dump.
Me: No one messes with the author, now that that's over we can get to the end author statement.
Oh horror of unspeakable horrors, Vlad and his army are marching on Amity Park, and Maddie may have to make the ultimate sacrifice to find the source of Vlad's power, like have to kiss him! Ahhhhh! Will Maddie be able to figure out the power of the scepter. Will Jack and the others be able to get to Danny and free him from Vlad's mind control. Or will all their planing be for nothing. Read the next chapter of the Ghost Scepter to find out.
Vlad: THE SMELL, ITS HORRIBLE. Shouts Vlad as he tries to get the rotten vegetables and coffee grounds off of himself.
Me: I really love this lever. Author hugs the lever, accidentally pulling it, which drops a huge pile of garbage onto Vlad.
Vlad: IT BURNS!
Me: Oh be quiet Vlad, it'll come off...eventually. Now until next time, read and review.
