(AN: I know I didn't use the hurt Vlad lever in the previous chapter, it was hard to find a place for it. But I promise to find at least one place to use it in this chapter.)
Chapter Six: The Return of Jack Fenton and The Battle for Washington Begins.
We leave Vlad and his army and return to what use to be the Fenton's home. After Vlad had left the fire department showed up to put out the fire. Once the fire was out they searched for any sign of the Fenton's or Sam, Tucker, or Valerie's remains. Not finding any they assumed that they had all burned up in the fire and that they had turned to ash. The firemen left the scene of the tragedy to inform the families of Danny's friends of their fate. But if they had looked more they would have found a secret door, a door that leads to a secret bunker deep under the Fenton's house. This is where our story continues.
"I can't believe we lost, now Vlad has my whole family." said Jack sullenly (AN: Yay! Their alive, alive I tell you!)
"Don't worry Mr. Fenton, we'll get them back, I promise." said Tucker.
"When I see Vlad again, I'm going to rip him apart with my bare hands." said Jack.
"How's Valerie doing?" asked Tucker.
They both looked over to a hospital bed, where we can see the still form of Valerie. She is hocked up to a bunch of hospital equipment and a respirator to help her breath. We can see bandages on her right arm and shoulder where she got slightly burned. And her hair seems to be singed.
"She got a nasty concussion from hitting that wall, and she did breath in a lot of smoke from the fire, but she'll make it." said Jack.
"When do you think she'll wake up?" asked Tucker.
"It should be anytime now." said Jack.
Just then there was a moaning from the bed and Valerie started to move.
"Valerie!" shouted Tucker as he ran to her side.
"Where..where am I?" said Valerie.
"Your in the Fenton Bunker." said Jack.
"What am I doing attached to all these machines?" said Valerie.
"When we got here, you were in bad shape, we almost lost you." said Jack.
"What do you mean?" asked Valerie.
"You were unconscious and not breathing, Tucker here gave you CPR, he saved your life." said Jack.
"He did?" said Valerie.
"Yes, I did." said Tucker as he blushed.
Valerie shot up and gave tucker a big hug.
"Thank you Tucker, you saved me." said Valerie.
"I just couldn't live with myself if you died, you mean to much to me." said Tucker.
"Really?" said Valerie.
"Yes, really." said Tucker.
Valerie and Tucker leaned closer, then they kissed.
"Uh kids, I don't want to but in but we need to do something about Vlad." said Jack.
"Uh, right Mr. Fenton." said Valerie as they pulled away and blushed.
"Uh yeah, Vlad, got to do something about that." said Tucker.
"We need to figure out what Vlad's next move is." said Jack.
"I've been studying Vlad's MO from Danny's ghost files. There are three things Vlad is usually after, 1. Danny. 2. Maddie. And 3. World domination. Since he's got the first two, that only leaves taking over the world on his list." said Valerie.
"Knowing Vlad, he'll probably take over the world in a way that will show everyone his power." said Tucker.
"Well take will make the news, lets see if it's on TV." said Jack as he turned on the TV to one of the national news networks.
"This just in, a huge army of green, glowing, skeletons is marching across Ohio toward Washington D.C. We go to one of our affiliates in southern Ohio." said the newswomen.
"We can see the army flying trough the skies over southern Ohio, headed toward Washington. They seem to be lead by some...vampire like apparition or ghost. He seems to be surrounded by other creatures, though I can't make them out clearly from here." said the newsman.
"That sounds like Vlad alright." said Jack.
"The federal government has raised the national alert to Defcon Five, they advise everyone in the path of the army to, Run! Run for your lives! Not the face! Not the face!" shouted the newsman as ghost skeletons attacked the news crew and smashed the camera.
"Why is Vlad going after Washington?" asked Tucker.
"Because it's the seat of power, and the president lives there. If Vlad captures him he can force the surrender of the country." said Valerie.
"Your right, and since the U.S. is the most powerful nation on Earth, if it falls to him, the rest of the world might see no reason to fight." said Tucker.
"We have to stop him." said Jack.
"But what I still don't get is how Vlad got the ghosts to follow him. They were pretty mad at him for the whole mind control thing, what would change that?" said Tucker.
"I think I know what it is. When we were fighting them I noticed a strange collar on all the ghosts necks. And while I was fighting Skulker I happened to look out side. I saw Danny and Sam and some more ghosts through my goggles, it zoomed in and I saw the same collars on them." said Valerie.
"Why would they be wearing those collars?" asked Tucker.
"I know what there for! Vlad must be using those collars to control the ghosts, Danny, and Sam." said Vlad.
"They looked electronic, we need something to disable them." said Tucker.
"What could we use, what could we use?" said Jack as he put his hand on the Fenton Ghost Electronics Scrambler.
"Uh, maybe we could use that?" said Tucker.
"What? Of course the Fenton Ghost Electronics Scrambler! This should be just what we need!" said Jack.
"How did that get down here anyway?" asked Valerie.
"Oh, in case of fire, the lab is programed to send it's equipment down here, to protect it. That also includes weapons and inventions." said Jack.
"Does that mean the Specter Speeder is here?" asked Valerie.
"Yes, it's over there in the corner." said Jack as he pointed to the Speeder and a large pile of weapons.
"With the Specter Speeder, these weapons, and the Fenton Ghost Electronics Scrambler, we can stop Vlad." said Valerie. She shot up, then started coughing.
"Valerie! Your still weak, we'll take care of Vlad, you have to take it easy." said Tucker.
"But I want to help." said Valerie.
"If you want help, you can work the weapons on the Speeder." said Jack.
"Ok, if you say so." said Valerie.
"Now we have to get to work." said Jack.
So they began to load the weapons into the Specter Speeder. They got the last of them loaded and took off out of the bunker. They flew off to catch up to Vlad's army.
Meanwhile Vlad was at the head of his army waiting for the Fright Knight to return with Maddie. He looked down and saw the people fleeing the army. They were packing the highways in a desperate attempt to escape, it was pathetic.
"There they are, running away like ants, but little do they realize that there is nowhere safe to run to." said Vlad.
"Lord Plasmius, I have brought Lady Maddie as you ordered." said the Fright Knight as he returned with Maddie.
"Good, now leave us so I may talk to her." said Vlad.
The Fright Knight put Maddie on Vlad's ghost horse and flew off, then Vlad turned and talked to Maddie.
"Ah Maddie, it's so good to see you." said Vlad.
"I guess it's kind of nice to see you too." said Maddie.
"Now Maddie, I know that there are some issues between us." said Vlad.
"Such as you killing my husband and kidnaping me and my children." said Maddie.
"Uh yes, there's that, but I think that we can over come these minor problems." said Vlad.
Maddie was about to start yelling at Vlad when she remembered the plan. She had to gain his trust in order to get to the control. So she had to be nice to him, no matter how much she wanted to kill him. She put away her pride and prepared to do the hardest thing she would ever have to do, romance Vlad.
"Jack, where ever you are, please forgive me for this." thought Maddie before she started to speak. (AN: Warning! Do not eat anything before reading this next part.)
"Well I guess we could sort out these little problems." said Maddie.
"Really?" said Vlad shocked.
"Yes, with Jack dead Danny and Jazz will need a father." said Maddie.
"Yes they will." said Vlad.
"A big, strong, father, like you." said Maddie as she got closer to Vlad, drawing circles on his chest while trying to be sexy.
"Uh yeah." said Vlad.
"And I'll need a big strong man to take care of me, like you." said Maddie.
Vlad, being the egotistical idiot he is, completely fell for Maddie's trick. Seeing his fantasy come true blinded him to the possibility of it being a trick. I mean jezz, doesn't he remember last time, is he that gullible, man! How stupid do you have to be, I mean really!...but lets get back to the story.
"You really mean that?" said Vlad.
"I do, kiss me Vlad." said Maddie as she leaned forward.
"I've dreamed of this day for so long." said Vlad as he leaned forward too.
"I better win actress of the year for this." thought Maddie as their lips meet.
They started to kiss, and I mean seriously, they did start to kiss. Vlad started to french kiss Maddie, and she had to go along with it. He started to hold her in a loving embrace, and Maddie had to resist the urge to punch him. (AN: and the Oscar for best actress of the year goes to Maddie Fenton!)
"That was wonderful." said Vlad.
"Yes it was." said Maddie.
"Now I'm going to have to spend a week washing my mouth out." thought Maddie.
"Uh Vlad, I think I should go talk to Danny and Jazz, so I can convince them about having you as their new dad." said Maddie.
"Of course, we do want them to get used to the idea, Fright Knight, could you take Maddie Back to my son and daughter." said Vlad.
"Yes Lord Plasmius." said the Fright Knight as he took Maddie back to Danny and Jazz.
"Finally, everything is going according to plan, I have Maddie, Danny, and Jazz, and soon I will have the world Mwhahahaha!" said Vlad (AN: here it is! The chance to use the lever! Author pulls the hurt Vlad lever.)
Suddenly Vlad runs into a flock of geese, they get really mad at him and start to peck him with their beaks and scratch them with the claws on their feet.
"Ahhhh! Get off me you stupid birds!" said Vlad as he swatted them away.
"Ok, that was a bit of bad luck." said Vlad as he spat feathers out of his mouth.
Back with Danny, Sam and Jazz they were waiting for Maddie to return. The Fright Knight returned with Maddie.
"Here, Lady Maddie would like to talk to her offspring." said the Fright Knight as he handed Maddie to Johnny 13. The Fright Knight left.
"Ok, mom, how did it go." said Danny.
"It went fine, Vlad was totally fooled by my act." said Maddie.
"Good, that means we have a better chance of getting the controller from him." said Danny.
"Uh, Johnny was it? if you happen to see a super market down below, could you stop, I need a bottle of mouth wash after having to kiss Vlad." said Maddie.
"Ew, you had to kiss Vlad, I feel sorry for you." said Kitty, who was right behind Maddie.
"Don't worry, we'll stop and get some mouth wash for you." said Johnny 13.
"Hang in there mom, we have to convince Vlad we're on his side. Once we get the controller from him and free ourselves we can take revenge for what he did to dad." said Danny.
"Yeah, he'll pay for what he's done. Hey are we going to kill him or throw him into Walker's jail for all eternity?" said Sam.
"Uh, we're still trying to figure out what's a worse fate for him." said Ember.
"We'll figure out what to do with him once we beat him, personally I'm leaning toward killing him." said Danny.
"Yeah, me too, but we'll see when that time comes. Walker does want him in jail though, and Spectra and Technus are with him" said Ember.
"Well, we'll talk about it with them later." said Danny.
We leave this happy discussion about whether to kill Vlad or imprison him for all eternity. We go many miles ahead to the city of Washington D.C. We can hear the sound of air raid sirens and see jet fighters flying trough the sky. A column of tanks can be seen driving down the road near the Washington monument. Thousands of troops are seen marching through the city, some going to defend important spots. The rest going to the west side of the city to face the army. Thousands of troops, hundreds of tanks, and hundreds of artillery pieces are lined up and waiting for Vlad's army to show itself. On the lawn of the White House, we can see six tanks and five artillery pieces, with a thousand troops guarding the grounds.
"Mr. President, the strange army is closing in on the city." said the chief of staff.
"What is the status of our troops general?" asked the President.
"The troops are ready and waiting for your orders." said the general.
"Tell them that we will not let these invaders take our capital, we will defend it like our fathers before us. My orders are for them to stand and fight, we will win this fight." said the President.
"Yes sir!" said the general as he left.
"Sir, do you really think we can win?" said the chief of staff.
"I think we will, there is no force on Earth that can stand up to the armed forces of the United States." said the President.
Unfortunately for the president, the army heading for Washington was not from this Earth. The weapons that would work on humans would not work on this ghost army, and Vlad knew it. The army started to approach the city, they could see the fortifications of the human army. Vlad landed to survey the area from a hill.
"So the little humans have come to try'en stop us." said Vlad.
"It would appear so Lord Plasmius." said the Fright Knight.
"Well, it looks like we have to show them that resistence is useless." said Vlad.
"Yes Lord Plasmius." said the Fright Knight.
"We will crush the puny humans, and then this world will fall into our hands, today Washington, tomorrow the world!" said Vlad. (AN: Ok, time to make Vlad look stupid. Author pulls the hurt Vlad lever.)
Suddenly as Vlad is returning to his horse he slips and falls in a mud puddle.
"Oh butter biscuits! And this is my good suit too." said Vlad as he went intangible to get the mud off.
"Your orders Lord Plasmius?" said the Fright Knight.
"Attack the puny humans, and show them no mercy." said Vlad.
"Of course sir, troops! Attack the humans, show no mercy!" said the Fright Knight as he charged forward.
The ghost army followed him on to the field, falling down upon the humans like a avalanche. The humans began to fire at the army, and the Battle for Washington began.

Me: Well it looks like the battle has begun for the future of humanity.
Ember: I hope that everything turns out all right.
Me: Don't worry sweetie, I'm in control of this story, so it will.
Ember: Good, because I can't wait for Vlad gets his butt kicked. Ember and Rob kiss.
Me: I may have to come into the story to help if it looks like our heros are about to lose.
Ember: Can you do that?
Me: I may have to, and if any of you readers want to send a fan character to help Danny and friends, please ask in your reviews. Send the name of your character, and a description, and I'll put them in for the big final fight. I'll pick two lucky people who get to help kick Vlad's butt.
Ember: Are we still offering to let them pull the lever?
Me: Of course we are, in fact we have two more people to pull the lever. The first one is Shadow Guardian of the Gate, the second is a returning reviewer, epobbp, Ember! Activate the teleporter!
Ember: Two reviewers on the way! A flash of light appears and we see Shadow Guardian of the Gate and epobbp.
Shadow Guardian of the Gate: Hey, your Rob Phantom!
Epobbp: Hey it is! Does this mean I get to pull the lever again?
Me: Yes, it does, for here it is, the hurt Vlad lever! The lever rises out of the ground.
Me: Now both of you grab the lever. Shadow Guardian of the Gate and Epobbp run over and grab the lever.
Me: Ok, are you two ready?
Shadow Guardian of the Gate: I was born ready.
Epobbp: I am ready when you are.
Me: Good, then pull the lever! Shadow Guardian of the Gate and Epobbp pull the lever.
Me: Now lets watch the monitor. We see on the monitor that Vlad is working in his garden. He is happily planting petunias when we hear a buzzing noise.
Vlad: What is that noise? Vlad turns his head just in time to see a swarm of bees engulf him.
Vlad: Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Vlad runs around getting stunk by the bees. To escape the bees he dives into a pile of fertilizer, the manure kind. The bees, not seeing their target leave, then Vlad comes out of the pile.
Vlad: Whoo! The bees are gone. Then he notices he is surrounded by cats and ghost weasels.
Vlad: Oh no. Then the cats and weasels attack.
Vlad: Why Me! WHY!
Me: Why not?
Shadow Guardian of the Gate: Thanks for letting me pull the lever, it rocked.
Epobbp:Thanks for letting me pull it again.
Me: And thank you for reviewing. Shadow Guardian of the Gate and Epobbp are teleported away.
Me: And now for the end of chapter summery.
Yay! Jack, Valerie, and Tucker are alive and their coming to save the day. But Vlad's army is attacking Washington D.C., do the humans stand a chance, probably not. Maddie had to kiss Vlad, which is horrible, hopefully their plan will work. Will Jack and company be able to save the day? Will Danny's plan work, and free them from Vlad's control. Or are we all doomed to be ruled by Vlad, not if I have anything to say about it!
Me: So remember readers, send in those reviews if you want to be in the story.
Ember: Hey Rob, come here, I have a present for you.
Me: What is it?
Ember: Me.
Me: oh, Oh! That does sound like a great present. Rob and Ember start to kiss.
Vlad: I'll get you one day Rob Phantom! Then the ghost weasels and cats chase him around and he screams trying to run from them.
Me: Until next time Danny Phantom fans, Read and Review!
