Chapter 4: Springing the Trap
As Sector V followed Danny and the ghost hamsters to Vlad's place, Danny removed the large football that was blocking the entrance to Vlad's secret lab. The Specter Speeder then followed Danny and the ghostly hamsters into Vlad's secret lab. As the Specter Speeder was parked by Number 2, the rest of Sector V armed with their newly upgraded anti-ghost weapons got out.
"I think it is important that we'll split up and find those hamsters" said Number 1 to Danny.
"Good idea" said Danny.
"I, Numbers 3 and 5 will go with the ghostly hamsters" said Number 1, "Numbers 2 and 4 will go with Danny until they find any trace of the other ghostly hamsters. Everybody spread out!"
As Sector V split up with Danny and the ghostly hamsters, they were secretly being watched by Vlad's security system.
"Ah" said Vlad, as he changed himself into his ghost mode "our guests have arrived."
"Time to implement our ultimate plan" said Father then he reaches for his communicator, "Delightful Children, are you in your positions?"
"We're ready to take them on" replied the Delightful Children.
"Good" said Father, "wait until it's the right time to strike."
Meanwhile, as Numbers 2 and 4 were walking side by side with Danny, Number 4 was shaking and couldn't believe he was going to face more ghosts as was Number 2.
"A-are y-you s-sure we are heading into the right direction?" asked Number 2 in a timid voice to Danny.
"Y-yea" added Number 4, "you're part ghost and can detect them, right?"
"I know you two are scared of these ghosts" replied Danny, "but don't worry. My family and friends have faced them all the time."
Suddenly Danny picked up his ghost sense and turned around to only see Skulcker.
"Well prey" said Skulcker as he cracked his knuckles together, "looks like it's time I'll have my revenge."
"T-that's the ghost that kidnapped those ghostly hamsters" said Number 2.
"Enough talk" said Skulcker, "you prey and your two new friends are going down."
Skulcker then loaded up a bazooka-like weapon and aimed it at Danny. Number 4 who wanted those ghostly hamsters to go back to where they came from took out his newly made anti-ghost weapon and fired at Skulcker. The beam then hits Skulcker, sending him flying and crashing into the wall.
"Look" said Number 4, "we got no time for someone like you. I'm only going with these stupid cruddy ghost hamsters so that they can leave me alone!"
"I beg to differ" said Skulcker as he recovered from the attack.
Skulcker then launched a net at Number 4 and he caught him in the net and attempted to pull him away. Danny then raced toward Skulcker and gave Skulcker a good punch, knocking Skulcker off balance and allowing Number 4 to go free.
"Now where are those ghost hamsters you took?" asked Danny as he was about to fire a large ghost beam at Skulcker who was trying to get up from the floor.
"You know that would be the easy way out" said a familiar voice behind Danny.
As Danny, Number 2 and 4 turned around, they were shocked to see Vlad Plasmius standing behind them.
"Ha!" said Number 4, "We can take on this cruddy ghost!"
Suddenly Vlad Plasmius split himself up into four separate Vlad clones, which made Number 2 scream and drop his weapon and he ran behind Danny and Number 4. The four Vlads then fire a large ghost beam at all three of them, knocking them out cold.
"Skulcker" said Vlad as he pulled himself together, "inform Father and the Delightful Children I have defeated two members of Sector V and that they can handle the rest of that sector."
Skulcker then vanishes to tell his allies the news; meanwhile, Numbers 1, 3, and 5 were following the ghostly hamsters to find the other ghostly hamsters. As they turned a corner, they walked down a corridor and into a large room. When they entered the room, the doors behind them closed suddenly and Father and what it looked like the Delightful Children to be in a new type of super suit of some sort were present.
"Father" said Number 1, "what are you doing here?"
"Isn't it obvious?" asked Father, "I have systematically used my new ally Vlad Plasmius to trap you Kids Next Door and your ghost allies here and destroy you once and for all!"
The Delightful Children then got their suit to work. The ghostly hamsters then merged themselves into one large hamster and began to fight with the Delightful Children, while the other three members of Sector V concentrated on Father. Father then threw some fireballs at Numbers 1, 3 and 5, destroying their weapons that they were holding. He then lid up a large fire shield around him and began to fire several more fireballs at the three members of Sector V. Each of them did their best to dodge the attacks, but one by one, they were knocked down by Father. The ghostly hamsters were having trouble of their own as they tried to attack the Delightful Children. But as they attacked them, the Delightful Children would create a anti-ghost shield around them, that would block the ghostly hamsters from attacking.
"There is no where to run" said Skulcker to the large ghost hamster as he appeared out of nowhere.
"Your friends have been defeated" said Father as he showed the large ghostly hamster the unconscious operatives of Sector V.
The ghostly hamsters then decided it would be unwise to disperse, so they fled the scene in attempt to try to find another solution to the problem they were in. As the ghostly hamster left the scene, Vlad Plasmius came right in.
"I'm glad we were able to work together" said Father shaking Vlad's hand.
"But you and your Delightful Children must stay for the ceremony I plan to have" said Vlad.
"Well" said Father, "I do have to tell the adult world that the most troublesome sector of the Kids Next Door has been defeated. But I'll have more time to tell them later."
"Excellent" said Vlad as he gave an evil smile.
