Chapter Five: Halloween Horror.
Time went on and our gang of ghost fighters kept fighting ghosts. The addition of Alicia to the team was great, because her and her spell book would always have something to defeat the ghosts. They fought many ghosts, including Skulker, Ember, Walker, and Spectra. Every time it looked like the ghosts would win, Alicia would pull out a spell to neutralize their advantage, Danny and the others began to call her their good luck charm. This however did not go over well with the ghosts. Several weeks had passed since the arrival of Alicia, and it was now the day of Halloween, and the ghosts decided to have a meeting to deal with the new threat.
"I've called you all here to discuss a way to eliminate that annoying girl, Ali Kazam." said Walker.
"That meddlesome witch has ruined all of our plans." said Spectra.
"She ruined several attempts to capture the ghost child, and they were good ones too." said Skulker.
"She ruined my plan to use the radio station to hypnotize the world into buying my new cd." said Ember.
"She ruined my plan to use the technology of a electronics store to dominate the world." said Technus.
"Ok, so we all agree that she is a nuisance, maybe even more then a nuisance, so what do we do about it?" asked Walker.
"I don't know what we can do, with that spell book of hers she is unbeatable. She always has a spell that can defeat us." said Ember.
"Maybe we should try to take it away from her?" said Skulker.
"I tried that, it didn't work. She knows enough on her own to at least get the book back." said Spectra.
"Not that I care, but where is Desiree? Wasn't she invited to this meeting?" said Ember.
"She's in the human world, so I couldn't reach her." said Walker.
"Knowing the Halfa and his friends she won't be there for long." said Ember.
Meanwhile in Amity Park our heros were getting ready for Halloween night. They were at the mall getting pieces for their costumes, little did they know that Desiree was nearby.
"There's that little witch girl, I better stay back and wait for them to make a mistake, like accidently wishing for something." thought Desiree as she hid in the shadows.
Meanwhile our heros had gone into a costumes store, looking for supplies.
"So Danny, what are you going as?" asked Sam.
"I'm going as a vampire. Come to me my darling." said Danny as he did a fake Dracula impression.
"You know you don't have to ask me twice." said Sam as they started to kiss.
"Uh guys, there are people staring at you." said Alicia.
"Oh sorry, what are you going as Sam?" said Danny.
"I'm going as a witch, I saw Alicia in her cool witch outfit and thought I'd go as that." said Sam.
"You think my outfit is cool? Thanks, that was very nice of you to say." said Alicia.
"What are you going as?" said Danny.
"Me? I'm going to copy the style of Ember for my costume." said Alicia.
"Why would you go as Ember?" asked Tucker.
"For the same reason as Sam, because I think her outfit is cool. Plus I'm not completely copying her, I'll make a few changes." said Alicia.
"What are you two going as?" Sam said to Valerie and Tucker.
"I'm going as a ninja." said Valerie.
"I'm going as a robot." said Tucker.
"That sounds nice, well I'm done here, see you guys later." said Danny as he took his purchases up to the cashier.
"Yeah I've got to get going too." said Sam.
Everyone paid for their items and went home to prepare for the big night. Several hours later they were ready. Alicia had dressed up as Ember, with some differences. Instead of having small curls coming off of her eyes she had lightening bolts. On her upper right arm was a fake tattoo A surrounded by red flame. On her belt buckle was a black cat and on her boots were small broom sticks. Her guitar was black and red. The last difference was that her hair was red instead of blue. Aside from those differences, she looked like a younger version of Ember.
"Looking good, now to go meet Danny and the others." said Alicia as she left her room.
She ran down the stairs, passing her father dressed as Frankenstein, and Ben dressed as a mad scientist.
"Hey little bro, I thought people were supposed to dress up for Halloween." said Alicia.
"Haha, very funny." said Ben.
"Now you two behave, now me and Ben are going out to trick or treat, see you later." said Robert as he and Ben left.
"Bye mom, I'm going out with my friends, be back later." said Alicia.
"Be careful, you know what creatures come out on this night." said Sarah.
"I will mom, bye." said Alicia as she walked out the door.
She walked over to Danny's house and saw that the others were waiting in front of his house. Danny was dressed up in a vampire outfit, complete with a fake gold medallion around his neck. The was wearing a tuxido shirt and a cape, and had fake fangs. He also had put on make up to make himself look pale, even paler then he was in ghost mode.
Standing next to him was Sam, she was dressed on in her witch costume. She had the same look as Alicia, only the top of her outfit was black instead of red and the dress was shorter. She was wearing one of those pointed witch hats, and she had green and blue strips running down her hair.
Tucker and Valerie were there also. Valerie was wearing a ninja outfit with a fake Katana, which is a Japanese sword. Tucker was in a box shaped robot suit, with buttons and dials on it, and he was wearing silver face pant, and silver painted pants.
"Hey guys, what do you want to do?" said Alicia.
"How about we go to the haunted house the school is holding." said Danny.
"Or we could go prank Dash, Paulina and the others." said Sam.
"Maybe later, I like the haunted house idea." said Alicia.
"Everyone else agree?" everyone nodded their heads.
"Good, lets go." said Danny.
They began walking down to the abandoned house that the school always held their haunted house in. They were walking by all the little kids that were trick or treating.
"I wish I could do that, get free candy, but Danny, Sam and Valerie made me promise to stop trick or treating." said Tucker.
"We told you Tucker, you were to old for that, that's why we buy candy for you to eat." said Sam.
"Yeah I know, but I still miss it." said Tucker.
"I hate to interrupt, but the league of evil is coming this way." said Alicia as Paulina, Dash, Kwan, and Star were walking toward them.
"Well if it isn't the halloweenies, what are you doing out." said Dash, dressed as a zombie.
"Yeah, aren't you babies scared of all the ghouls that come out on Halloween." said Kwan, dressed as a headless man.
"Nice costumes, they just scream off the rack." said Paulina, dressed as a princess.
"Yeah, where did you get them, the 99ཱ store." said Star, dressed in a Brittany Brittany outfit. (AN: That's from the Fairly Odd Parents, which I don't own.)
"Leave us alone, we don't want to deal with you." said Danny.
"Whatever Fentina, we have to get to a cool party, see you and your cruddy costumes later." said Dash as they went off laughing.
"We are definitely pranking them later." said Danny.
"Yeah where do they get off insulting us like that." said Valerie.
"I wish our costumes were real, then we could teach them a lesson." said Alicia.
"Wait, don't say that!" said Danny and the others at the same time.
But it was too late, Desiree had heard her. She had been tailing them all day and was about to give up when Alicia made her wish. Now it was the time to ruin their lives. She came up before them in a green puff of smoke.
"Finally! I thought you brats would never make a wish." said Desiree.
"You is this, is she a genie." said Alicia.
"This is Desiree, she's is the wish granting ghost we told you about." said Danny.
"Yes, and now I'm here to make your lives miserable." said Desiree.
"And how do you plan to do that?" said Alicia.
"By granting that wish you just made." said Desiree.
"Oh no." said Alicia realizing what she had done.
"Oh no indeed, and now, so you have wished it, so shall it be." said Desiree as she waved her hand.
A green smoke surrounded our heros, completely covering them. When it cleared the damege was done. Alicia's hair had turned to flame, just like Ember's, and Danny's fangs were now real.
"What hit me?" said Alicia., then she saw her reflection in a store front window.
"What have you done to us!" shouted Alicia.
"I have made you and your friends costumes real, so that you may suffer." said Desiree.
"You monster, we'll get you for this." said Sam.
"What are you going to do?" said Desiree.
Then suddenly Sam sent a blast out of her now real magic staff. The blast sent Desiree flying, Sam looked down in shock.
"What the? I'm using magic, that means I'm a real witch." said Sam.
"Yes, that means I'm a real ghost, Valerie is a real ninja, Tucker is a real robot, and Danny is a real...oh no!" said Alicia.
"What do you mean by oh no?" said the now ninja Valerie.
"If all our costumes are now real, that means that Danny is a real vampire." said Alicia as they slowly looked over toward Danny.
Danny was laying on the ground, then he slowly started to rise from the ground. He had a evil look in his eye and was looking straight at Sam, Alicia, and Valerie hungrily.
"Uh Danny, are you all right?" asked Sam.
"My what pretty necks you have, I wonder what your blood tastes like?" said Danny as he slowly moved toward them.
"Now Danny, we're your friends, you don't really want to hurt us." said Valerie.
"I want your blood, you will join me and the children of the night." said Danny as he got closer.
"Sam, we have to get to my spell book, we have to blast Danny back." said Alicia.
"What! We can't do that." said Sam.
"Well unless you want to become the undead, we have to." said Alicia.
"Ok, but I don't like it." said Sam as she and Alicia sent blasts at Danny.
The blasts sent Danny flying back, where he was impacted on a wall.
"Ok, lets go!" said Alicia as they flew to her house.
"What about Tucker?" said Valerie as they were flying.
"Don't worry, unless Danny develops a taste for motor oil, he be fine." said Alicia.
"Ok, what's the plan?" said Sam.
"We have to get back to my house, there's a book on mythical creatures that will help us. Then once we look at that, you have to use the spell book to create a potion to turn Danny back to normal." said Alicia.
"Wait, what do you mean I have to create a potion?" said Sam.
"Because you're the one with witch powers now, I tried using mine and they don't work. You're the only one who can reverse Desiree's spell." said Alicia.
"I don't know, I only know a few simple spells, do you think I can do it?" said Sam.
"You have to, for Danny's sake." said Alicia.
"Ok, I'll do it." said Sam.
As they were talking they didn't see the ghosts in front of them. So they ran into them.
"What did we hit? Oh great, as if this night couldn't get worse." Said Alicia as she saw all of their enemies floating in front of them.
"Yes child, we are here to put an end to your meddling once and for all." said Skulker.
"Your going away for a long time." said Walker.
"Hey, where is the dipstick?" said Ember.
"We're running from him, and now if you excuse us, there's a book we have to get to." said Alicia, but Skulker blocked their way.
"What are you talking about, why are you running from him." said Skulker.
"Come into my house and I'll explain." said Alicia as the ghosts followed.
"Once agin, why are you running from the ghost child?" said Skulker.
"It's because Desiree turned him into a monster, and we have to stop him." said Sam.
"How did she do that, and why do you look like me?" said Ember.
"I decide to dress up like you for Halloween, because your outfit is cool." said Alicia as she was looking for a book.
"You think it's cool, thanks, you even got the flaming hair right, how did you do that?" said Ember.
"That was Desiree's doing, she heard me say I wish our costumes were real, so she made them real." said Alicia.
"So that means you're a ghost now." said Walker.
"Yes, and that means Sam is a witch, Valerie is a ninja, and Danny is a vampire. Ah, here is the book." said Alicia.
"You mean the ghost child is a vampire?" said Skulker.
"Yes, and if it effected him like I think it did, both the Earth and the Ghost Zone are in mortal danger." said Alicia as she flipped through the book, finally she found what she was looking for.
"Here it is, the section on vampires. There are creatures in this world called vampires, they can be both human and ghost. They feast on the blood, or ectoplasm, of humans and ghosts. Once bitten the victim becomes the slave of the vampire and does their bidding. Like I didn't know that already, ah here we go, if by some freak accident, a half ghost half human becomes a vampire they can bite both ghosts and humans. They will become a scourge upon both the human and spirit worlds, they must be destroyed immediately or doom will follow." Alicia said.
"So we have to destroy the ghost child, suddenly this day became a lot better." said Walker.
"No, I have I spell that will turn him back to normal." said Alicia.
"What spell don't you have in that book." said Spectra.
"Whatever, listen, if we take a human vampire and a ghost vampire reversal spell and combine them, it should turn him back to normal. Sam, you try to create the potion, I'll supervise, while you guys keep a eye out for vampire boy." said Alicia.
"Why should we do what you say?" said Skulker.
"Because if you don't you'll end up serving Danny for the rest of eternity, and I know you don't want that." said Alicia.
This quickly shut up the ghosts and they went on lookout. Meanwhile Alicia was coaching Sam through the process to prepare the potions.
"Ok Sam, your doing great, just be careful when you pour that, and we're done. Now all we have to do is combine the potions and we're done." said Alicia as Sam combined them.
"He's here!" shouted Skulker.
Suddenly Danny entered the room, but he was not alone. He had apparently bitten some other people before coming to find Sam and the others. He had bitten Desiree, Paulina, Dash, Kwan, Star, and Jazz.
"Well, well, all my least favorite people in the same place. It will be a pleasure to add you to my army of the undead, get them my minions!" shouted Danny, the transformed teens obeyed, falling upon the ghosts.
"We have to get out of here!" shouted Alicia.
"What about Danny?" said Sam.
"We'll get him later, but right now we have to get away." said Alicia as they ran for the door. But Jazz was blocking their way.
"You'll love being a vampire, it only hurts a little bit." said Jazz as she lunged at them. But then she was blasted back.
"Hey kids, lets get out of here." said Ember.
"Right behind you." said Alicia and Sam as they followed her.
The three girls quickly flew away from the disaster, they hid in a alley several streets away.
"What are we going to do? Danny has started to infect people." said Sam.
"We have to get that crazy potion you made to him, then we can turn him back to normal and stop this." said Ember.
"Its not as simple as that." said Alicia.
"What, I thought you said this would change him back?" said Ember.
"It will, it just needs one last ingredient, we need a piece of his hair to complete it." said Alicia.
"So we have to get close enough to him to get some hair, without being bitten. How will we do that?" said Sam.
"I don't know, I thought we had more time, but he seems to move faster then a normal vampire." said Alicia.
"Well it looks like we have to attack a growing vampire army, then fight their leader to get some hair to turn him back to normal, we're dead." said Ember.
"Not necessarily, I think I may have a plan." said Alicia.
"What is it?" said Ember and Sam.
"I'll explain on the way, follow me." said Alicia as they ran off into the night.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Me: Well things aren't looking good for our heros, I wonder how they'll save the day?
Ember: I hope that Alicia girl has a good plan, I don't want to be a vampire.
Me: Don't worry, I'll make sure nothing bad happens to you. Rob and Ember start kissing.
Ember: I hope so.
Me: And now a important message.
Oh no, Danny has turned into a vampire and is turning others into ones too. Alicia, Sam, and Ember have the potion to fix it, but they need some of Danny's hair to make it work. Alicia has a plan, but what could it be? Will they be able to get the hair? Will they be able to save the Earth and Ghost Zone? Only one way to find out, read the next chapter of the Life and Times of Alicia Szivos.
Me: Until next time Danny Phantom fans, Read and Review, and don't flame.
