Chapter Thirteen: The $100 Million Dollar Kids Part Two.
It was a another nice day in the town of Amity Park. But you could not tell down in the Fenton's lab. Jack and Maddie had been working all night on a invention to portent Danny and his friends. They had decided to create a portable ghost shield that would protect the user from all ghosts.
"Jack, don't you think it still a little big?" said Maddie.
And it was big, the power supply was at least the size of a backpack, and the unit it self looked like a smaller version of the Ops center, and it was suppose to be worn on their heads.
"Well this is as small as I can get it, I guess the kids will just have to get used to the extra weight." said Jack.
"But Jack, the way it is now they won't be able to move." said Maddie.
"Well maybe we can make it smaller, but it will take another day or so." said Jack.
"Don't worry, we have the time, the kids have plenty of supplies in the shelter." said Maddie.
"That's the spirt! Now lets get back to work, no ghost is going to hurt my kids as long as Jack Fenton is around." said Jack as they got back to work.
Meanwhile our heros were just sitting down to breakfast and they were trying to figure out what to do. Well, mostly they were arguing about what to have for breakfast.
"I say we have a all meat breakfast, we need the energy to think." said Tucker.
"Ew, No! We need fruits and cereal, that will provide better energy to think." said Sam.
"Are you mad, do you think Vlad eats that stuff, no! He eats meat, that's why he is so clever." said Tucker.
"If he or you had any sense you would eat fruits and cereal, they are much better then meat." said Sam.
"Hey who are you saying has no sense!" shouted Tucker.
"You, that's who, or has all the meat effected your brain!" shouted Sam.
Ah yes the almost weekly fight between Sam and Tucker over what they should eat. It never fails that when the gang try to figure out what they should eat that Sam and Tucker get into this argument. Of course Danny and Valerie always try to calm them down.
"Sam, maybe we can compromise a little?" said Danny.
"Yeah Tuck, can't we just compromise." said Valerie.
"No, if we compromise with him it will lead to the extinction of all life on Earth!" said Sam, glaring at Danny.
"We can't ever compromise with her, if we do the animals will over run us and it will bring about the end of all mankind!" said Tucker, glaring at Valerie.
this was usually the signal for Danny and Valerie to back off and wait for them to cool down. As Sam and Tucker argued Alex looked over to Alicia and Jazz to ask a question.
"Does this always happen?" said Alex.
"More then you ever will know." said Jazz.
"Yeah, I've only been here a few months and I've seen at least seven of these fights." said Alicia.
"Well what do we do to stop it?" said Alex.
"I don't know. Hey! Maybe Alicia can conjure up a air horn, that should brake through the noise." said Jazz.
"Well its worth a shot, here goes." said Alicia, with a wave of her hand a poof of smoke appeared, and out of that a air horn fell into Jazz's hand
"Ok guys, cover your ears." said Jazz as she pressed the button, the air horn gave out a very loud sound, instantly stopping the argument.
"Jazz! What was that for?" said Sam.
"It was to get you two to stop bickering like little children, we don't have time for this. We need to come up with a plan to stop Vlad." said Jazz.
"But what about breakfast?" said Tucker.
"If you can't decide, I'll let Alex and Alicia decide." said Jazz.
"Us?" said Alex and Alicia.
"Yes, now what do you think we should have for breakfast?" said Jazz.
The two teens took about a minute to think about it, then they had their answer.
"Pizza!" they both said.
"Pizza? That's what we should have for breakfast?" said Danny.
"Hey don't knock it till you try it." said Alicia.
"Well it is a idea, pizza it is then. I'll tell you when its ready." said Jazz, who went to get the pizzas out of the fridge.
"So you like having pizza for breakfast too?" said Alex.
"Yeah, I do." said Alicia.
"Small world isn't it?" said Alex.
"Yeah, I guess it is." said Alicia, both of them blushing by now.
After a unusual breakfast our heros sat down to figure out what to do.
"I think we should try beating the stuffing out of him until he takes the reward off of our heads." said Danny.
"I agree, the only thing people like Vlad understand is force." said Valerie.
"I think that we should try to get the ghosts to remember what Vlad did to them, maybe they will turn against him." said Jazz.
"I say we should send him to a plain of unspeakable horror, like the underworld mall's perfume department, or the Garginar museum of really boring stuff." said Alex.
"I agree with him, we need to send him somewhere that will make him regret ever messing with us, like the Place of Ultimate Evil." said Alicia.
"Don't you think that's a little harsh?" said Alex.
"From what Danny and the others told me he tried to take over the world twice, and the last time he almost succeeded. We must do everything in our power to stop him from ever doing that again." said Alicia.
"Ok, if you say so." said Alex.
"Well those are all really good ideas, but we have to decide which one to use." said Jazz.
"Why don't we just use the fighting and banishing ideas together?" said Sam.
"Hey, that could work, lets try that." said Valerie.
"Great idea Sam." said Danny, who then gave Sam a kiss.
"Aw it was nothing, you guys came up with the main ideas, I just suggested using them together." said Sam.
"Good thing we have all the smart people like Sam, Jazz, and, Valerie, and Alicia, or we would be in big trouble." said Danny.
As they were finishing up they heard a shout come from outside the shelter.
"Eureka, we have done it!" bellowed Jack.
The door to the shelter opened to reveal a smiling Jack Fenton.
"Kids we have done it, come out and see it." said Jack.
The kids scrambled out to see the invention, what they saw were seven watch like devices laying on the table.
"So what are these?" asked Danny.
"I'm glad you asked, these are the Fenton Portable Ghost Shields, these babies create a ghost shield around the person wearing them. These should protect you from any ghosts that might try to get you." said Jack.
"Are they safe?" said Jazz.
"Yes. Well they do have some minor glitches that make them shut down if a certain frequency is used. But how would they find that out?" said Maddie.
"Well at least their not the size of a refrigerator." said Jazz.
"Come on kids, try them out so we can see if they work." said Jack.
Our heros put the devices on and activated them. Suddenly a glowing green shield appeared that surrounded them in a cone of energy.
"So this should keep us safe?" said Alicia.
"That it will, no ghost in the Ghost Zone can get through that." said Jack.
Just as Jack was saying this two ghosts were planing on proving him wrong. They had watched the whole thing through a tiny digital camera set up in the lab. This camera showed the whole conversation, even the part on how to brake the shield to its master.
"Oh great now the ghost child and his friends are protected by those blasted shields, how do we capture them now." said Skulker.
"Don't worry, I, Technus, ghost master of technology will figure a way around these shields. No invention of a humans can stop me." said Technus.
"Yeah whatever, just capture the kids and get them here so we can claim the reward." said Johnny 13.
"Fine, I just need one of you to get the plans for the device so I may find out how to disable it." said Technus.
"I'll go, I think I'll make less of a scene then you two." said Johnny.
"Fine, just get the stupid plans." said Skulker.
"Come on Kitty, we have some plans to get." said Johnny as he and Kitty rode off.
The two ghosts rode through the Ghost Zone to the Fenton Portal. When they got there they found it closed.
"Johnny, how are we going to get in there." said Kitty.
"Don't worry, I swiped on of those door openers from their lab the last time we got out." said Johnny.
He pressed the button and the doors to the portal opened. Then the two young ghosts drove into the lab. Fortunately for them the coast was clear, no one was in the lab, and Danny and friends had left the house.
"Ok babe, lets look for those plans." said Johnny.
That was easier said then done, for the Fenton's lab was a mess. There were inventions and blueprints scattered allover the place. The fact that Jack also seemed to leave old food wrappers around did not help.
"Yuck, don't these people ever clean anything?" said Kitty.
"Who cares about their cleaning habits, we have some plans to find." said Johnny as he looked through the blueprints.
They searched all over for the blueprints, emptying out file cabinets and throwing stuff off of tables, making a already messy lab even more messy.
"Where are those plans?" said Johnny. Then Kitty noticed something stuck to his back.
"Hey Johnny. What's that on your back?" said Kitty pointing at a piece of paper.
"What?" said Johnny, he pulled the paper off of his back, it was the plans for the portable ghost shield.
"These are the plans for that thing! Good work babe!" said Johnny.
Just then they heard a person starting to come down the stairs.
"Quick Kitty, lets get out of here." said Johnny.
They hopped on to his bike and drove off. The door to the portal just closed when Jack came down. He looked around the disaster area that once was his lab.
"Ah, just as I left it." said Jack. (AN: Good old Jack, totally oblivious as always.)
Johnny and Kitty rode back to Technus's lab, where they handed the blue prints to him.
"Excellent, with these plans I will make a device to disable those shields, then we can capture them and claim the reward." said Technus.
So Technus worked quickly to build the device that would bring doom down upon our heros heads. In little more then fifteen minutes he had the device ready.
"Ah ha, I have done it. This device will use high frequency waves to short out the watches the ghost child and his friends are wearing, then we can capture them and bring them to Vlad." said Technus.
And so without another word the ghosts were off to capture Danny, Sam, and Alicia. Meanwhile our heros were walking around the town and getting strange looks from the people. It may have had something to do with the weird glowing, green cones that they were under.
"Hey buddy, why don't you take a picture, it'll last longer." said Alicia to one of the on lookers, who did just that.
"Dang, that's the fifth person to take a picture. Who's bright idea was it to go out in public?" said Sam.
"It was Tucker, he wanted to go see the new PDA that came out at the electronics hut."said Danny.
"Now I see why Jazz decided to stay home." said Valerie.
"At least no one is saying anything." said Alex.
"Hey look at the losers!" said a familiar voice.
"Speak of the devil, or devils in this case." Alicia said, as Dash and his crew came down the street.
"What happen Fentina? Your wacko parents get you to test one of their inventions?" said Dash.
"Leave us alone, don't you have a puppy to kick or something?"said Danny.
"Hey Manson, Szivos, those glowy green things look good on you, they hide how hideous you are." said Paulina.
"Why you little..." said Sam as a glow started to form in her hand.
"No Sam, we can't us our powers in public, we can get back at her later." Alicia whispered to Sam.
"Why don't you beat it Paulina, isn't there a shoe sale you have to get to?" said Valerie.
"Really? My schedule doesn't say anything about a shoe sale today." said Paulina.
"Figures she's to dumb to realize when someone is telling her to buzz off." said Sam.
"Come one guys lets go." said Alex.
"Hey where are you going big boy, why hang with these losers when you can hangout with me." said Paulina, putting on the most sickeningly sweet act you ever saw.
"Maybe I want to hang out with people with a IQ that I don't have to dig for, and who have more depth then a small puddle." said Alex.
"How dare you! You'll regret turning me down, come on guys, I want to get to that shoe sale before its over." said Paulina as the she and the league of evil left.
"Good job Alex, you showed them up." said Tucker.
"Yeah, you really told that little tramp off." said Alicia.
"Thanks." said Alex.
But then Danny's ghost sense went off.
"Oh no, not here, not now." said Danny.
"What? What's happening?" said Alex.
"That's Danny's ghost sense, it tells us when a ghost is nearby." said Alicia.
Just then several ghosts appeared over the street, the people saw these ghosts and knew what to do almost immediately. They ran away screaming like cowards, soon only our heros were left in the area.
"Ghost child, we have come for the bounty on you and the two witches heads." said Skulker.
"Oh great, you guys are after the reward too?" said Danny.
"Yes ghost child, and we will be the ones to collect it. Then with that money I can take over the world!" said Technus
"Dude, chill, we have to capture them first." said Johnny.
"What makes you think you can get us? These watches we're wearing protect us from ghosts." said Alicia.
"Oh I think this will do it." said Skulker as he pulled out a strange ray gun.
He fired at the shields protecting our heros. The shields began to flicker in and out and then they finally died. Our heros looked shocked that the shields had failed.
"Uh oh, this is not good." said Alicia.
"You got that right whelp." said Technus as he fired a net launching device at Danny, Sam, and Alicia.
The net captured our heros and gagged them as well, so they could not pull the same trick they had used on Ember, Spectra, and Desiree. Valerie and the others tried to help them but they were hit with restraints that prevented them from moving. Then Johnny 13 swooped down and grabbed the net our heros were in.
"Hey, you leave them alone!" said Alex.
"Yeah, you dirty ghost better put down our friends right now." said Valerie.
"I don't think so, say goodbye to your little friends." said Skulker as they disappeared into a portal.
Several minutes later the restraints that bound our heros disappeared.
"Oh no! They got Danny, Sam, and Alicia, and now their taking them to Vlad." said Tucker.
"Not without a fight their not, we're going to get them back." said Valerie.
"Yeah, no one takes my friends and gets away with it!" said Alex.
Our remaining heros ran back to the Fenton's home to tell them what had happened. Meanwhile the villains had gotten our heros to Vlad's castle. They took them to Vlad's study room, where the evil halfa was sitting down enjoying some tea.
"Plasmius, we have brought the ghost child and the two witches." said Skulker as he dropped the net containing our heros.
"Ah very good, you will find the money in those briefcases on the table, I took the liberty of dividing them into equal shares for you." said Vlad.
The greedy ghosts ran over to the table and opened the cases and found exactly $33 million in each of them.
"Oh Johnny look at it, we can live like all those people on tv now." said Kitty.
"This should be more then enough to fund my inventions." said Technus.
"I will miss hunting the ghost child, but this will more then make up for it." said Skulker.
"Very good, now please leave I have a few words to say to my new guests." said Vlad.
With that the ghosts left with their reward, and Vlad turned to his guests.
"What Daniel, no witty banter? No insults about how I should get a cat?" said Vlad, then he noticed the gags taped to their mouths.
"Well we can't have that can we?" said Vlad as he ripped the gags off of their faces. Our three heros gave out a loud yell when this happened.
"Hey, you didn't have to pull so hard!" said Sam.
"Yeah, no wonder you can't get anyone to like you, you crazed up fruit loop." said Danny.
"When I get out of here I will plunge you into a nightmare world from which there is no waking." said Alicia.
"Oh I don't think so little badger, for you see I'm the one calling the shots here. Fright Knight, come here." said Vlad.
"Yes Lord Plasmius?" said the Fright Knight.
"Bring out the collars will you." said Vlad.
"Yes my Lord." said the Fright Knight as he left to fetch them.
"Oh no, not again." said Danny.
"What? What is going on?" asked Alicia.
"When Vlad captured us the second time he tried to take over the world he used these collars to control us. If we disobey him the collars will kill us." said Sam.
"Oh no, we have to get out of here." said Alicia.
Our heros struggled to get free of the net, but it was no use.
"Struggle all you want, you will never get away." said Vlad.
Then the Fright Knight returned.
"Ah good, put the collars on them." said Vlad.
With some difficulty and much kicking and name calling the Fright Knight was finally able to get the collars on.
"Very good, now release them and take them to their rooms, I will talk to them in the mourning." said Vlad.
"As you wish Lord Plasmius." said the Fright Knight as he took them out of the net and dragged them off.
"You'll never get away with this Vlad!" said Danny.
"Our friends will come to rescue us!" said Sam.
"You'll pay for this do you hear me. Pay!" said Alicia as they were taken out of the room.
"Oh don't worry, you'll be seeing your friends soon enough. Mwhahaha" said Vlad. (AN: Time once again to make Vlad's life miserable. Author pulls the hurt Vlad lever.)
Then suddenly a huge bucket of ink falls on Vlad, ruining his suit.
"Oh butter biscuits! This is the fifth suit this week that blasted Rob Phantom has ruined, I will make him pay on of these days." said Vlad as he angrily left the room.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Me: Rob Phantom here, just getting over a cold, but I'm back and feeling a little better.
Ember: Rob, could you get me some more soup. cough
Me: Oh yeah, it seems that since I'm half ghost I can make other ghosts get human diseases, and it seems Ember caught my cold.
Ember: I didn't even know that ghosts could get sick. cough hack
Me: Hey on our show any things possible.
Vlad: Like a evil villain popping up to destroy you?
Me: Yeah exactly...Vlad! What are you doing here?
Vlad: I'm here to destroy you and that blasted lever once and for all.
Danny: Not if we have anything to say about it
Vlad: What is Daniel doing here?
Valerie: We're here to help Rob while Embers sick, prepare to get your butt kicked.
Vlad: We'll see about that.
Suddenly a hug battle starts, it's good guys verses on old, evil guy who needs a cat. At first Vlad was a little overwhelmed fighting two halfas and a ghost hunter. But as time went on he was starting to win. After awhile he had our heros backed up against a wall.
Vlad: You see, you can not defeat me, now I will destroy you.
Ember: Rob, I need more pillows. cough
Vlad: Oh will you shut up. Vlad sends a blast at Ember, but it hits the Tv she was watching.
Me: Uh oh, your in trouble now.
Vlad: What are you talking about...Vlad turns and sees a enraged Ember standing behind him.
Ember: YOU DESTROYED MY TV. PREPARE TO PAY! Ember begins to beat up Vlad, I can't tell you what happened with out raising the rating, but it involves the use of a spork. Needless to say Vlad was no match for the enraged Ember and was thrown against a wall.
Me: And now to add insult to injury. Author pulls te hurt Vlad lever. Suddenly he is transported out of the control room and into the cafeteria of the Fluffy Army of Doom. Then they notice Vlad.
Random Ghost Weasel: squeak squeak squeak squeak. Translation: looks like our work is never done. Then the army of adorable doom attacks Vlad.
Vlad: Ahhh! Get them off of me!
Ember: Hey, this is better then what I was watching before.
Me: Glad you like it, now a message from me.
holy we're all doomed batman! It looks like Vlad has finally captured Danny, Sam, and Alicia. What horrible doom does he have in store for our heros? Will Valerie and the others be able to save them? Or will Vlad finally be able to conquer the world? The only way to find out is to read the next chapter of the Life and Times of Alicia Szivos.
Me: Until Next time Danny Phantom fans, Read and Review!
