Chapter 5: Vlad's True Intentions
As everybody were in place, Vlad took out his communicator to make sure his plan would work.
"Is everybody present?" asked Vlad to everybody else.
"I'm present" replied Danny.
"Skulcker is here too" said Skulcker.
"We're ready" said Sam.
"And so am I" added Tucker.
"Excellent" replied Vlad, "now Danny. You know your father is too dimwitted to know that you and I have ghost powers, as he is just as dimwitted as detecting the Brotherhood of Evil being behind the recent strange events."
"Ignoring the dimwitted part about my father" said Danny, "I may have no other choice than to side with you. At least until the Brotherhood of Evil isn't a problem for me."
"Excellent" said Vlad, "now get to it."
As Danny changed back into his human self, Jack and Maddie came into his room.
"Danny" said Maddie, "Kitten and her mother are downstairs waiting for you."
"Yea" said Jack, "you don't want to make us look like bad hosts do you?"
"I suppose so" replied Danny.
As Danny followed his parents downstairs, Jazz was already there greeting Kitten and Madame Rogue who was secretly disguised as Kitten's mother.
"I'm so glad we can finally meet" said Madame Rogue to Jack as if she pretended that they didn't meet each other before.
"Say" said Jack looking at her at a somewhat suspicious way, "haven't we met before?"
"Yea" replied Maddie, "you look familiar, but I can't put my finger on it."
"You look like one of those models in one of the Genius Magazines we have been reading" said Jack.
"Danny" said Maddie as she was leaving the room to set the table for dinner, "why don't you get to know Kitten and her mother more. Jazz, can you come along and help me?"
"Sure mom" replied Jazz.
As Jack, Maddie and Jazz left the room it was time for Vlad's plan to go into action.
"Alright" said Danny as he went into his ghost mode, "I know what you two have been up to. I know for a fact that you Kitten are the mysterious new halfa that has been appearing in every battle I have been at."
"That wasn't long for you to realize that" said Madame Rogue, "I would change my hair color back to my normal one, but you know how dimwitted your father can really be. Now would be a good time for you Kitten to put your powers to the ultimate test and defeat this ghost boy once and for all."
"Yes Madame Rogue" said Kitten as she changed into her ghost mode.
Kitten then fired her ghost beam at Danny and sent Danny crashing into the coach. He then recovered from the attack and then left the room and went down into the basement.
"Follow him" said Madame Rogue, "I shall follow you shortly."
As Kitten phased through the floor to follow Danny into the basement, Jack poked his head from the other room and noticed part of the coach was a little beaten up.
"Hey" said Jack, "what the heck just happen to the coach?"
"Uh" said Madame Rogue, "the coach was getting old?"
"That's good enough for me" replied Jack, "and we're just about to start dinner. Where's Kitten and Danny?"
"They're in separate bathrooms" lied Madame Rogue, "I'll go down and get them."
"Yea" said Jack, "you do that."
As Jack went back to help Maddie and Jazz, Madame Rogue went straight down toward the basement. As she was walking downstairs, Tucker and Sam were secretly watching her as she passed through a hallway that went toward the basement.
"We've spotted her" whispered Sam in the communicator.
"Good" said Vlad, "Skulcker, that's your cue. Go aid Daniel in fighting this Kitten. I'll join you to fight Madame Rogue."
"Skulcker understands your order" said Skulcker.
As Skulcker was heading toward to aid Danny, Danny was busy fighting off Kitten in the basement. Fighting Kitten alone was too much, so Danny decided to grab the Fenton ghost grabbers and managed to give a good punch at Kitten. She flew into some pile of junk Jack had put aside that proved to be useless. Suddenly some anti-ghost rope fell onto her lap. She then created a lasso with the anti-ghost rope and wrapped it around Danny's waist. Danny struggled to get out of the rope's gripe, but Kitten pulled the rope and threw Danny across the room and crashing into some junk. Danny then fired a ghost beam at the rope, cutting himself free from Kitten's grasp.
"Looks like you just came in time" said Danny as Skulcker finally appeared.
"Of course prey" said Skulcker, "it should be Skulcker to be the one that should hunt you. Not the Brotherhood of Evil."
"Look out!" shouted Danny.
Suddenly a large red ghost blast came from Kitten hitting Skulcker and sending him flying and crashing into some junk. Skulcker then readied his bazooka-like weapon and fired some rockets at Kitten. Kitten then phased through and dodged the rockets and the rockets went right into the ghost zone since the portal was open. As Skulcker was about to load up another batch of rockets, a fist from nowhere came and punched Skulcker, sending him crashing against a table and destroying it. As he got up to see who attacked him, it was Madame Rogue who was standing in the doorway.
"It's about time" said Kitten.
As Kitten and Madame Rogue were about to make their move onto Danny and Skulcker, Vlad in his ghost mode finally came into the scene.
"I see you two have managed to have all the fun here" said Vlad.
"We could use a little help over here" said Danny as he was using a table for a cover and firing ghost beams at both Madame Rogue and Kitten.
"Daniel" said Vlad as he split himself up into four clones of himself, "didn't your parents create something that could split a ghost from a person."
"Well" said Danny, "there is the Fenton Ghost Catcher which is like an Indian Dream Catcher."
"That'll do" said Vlad.
As two clones of Vlad kept on fighting Madame Rogue and Kitten, two other Vlad clones went to help Danny and Skulcker up. The two clones then helped Danny get out the Fenton ghost catcher and placed it in position. As Kitten was getting weaker fighting off the two other Vlad clones, Danny saw his chance as Kitten was right in position of the Fenton ghost catcher. Danny then aimed carefully and fired a ghost beam right directly at Kitten. It sent Kitten straight toward the Fenton ghost catcher and as she went through it, Kitten's ghost half appeared and her human half fell to the ground. Danny then got out the Fenton thermos and sucked Kitten's ghost half into the thermos and then closed the lid.
"This can't be!" shouted Madame Rogue.
Madame Rogue then threw some kind of smoke grenade and then left the scene. When the smoke cleared, only Kitten was left along with Vlad who pulled himself together along with Skulcker and Danny.
"I'll be taking that" smiled Vlad to Danny as he took the Fenton thermos.
"Don't you worry" said Skulcker, "my client will take this agent of the Brotherhood of Evil to the proper authorities."
"Well" said Danny as he turned himself back into his human self, "I'll take your word for it."
As Danny went upstairs, his father was waiting for him and wondered where Kitten and her mother went.
"Where did Kitten and her mother go to?" asked Jack, "Dinner is just about ready."
"Uh, she and her mother left" replied Danny, "I heard it had something to do about Genius Magazine or something like that."
"Good enough for me" said Jack, "and oh, it's too bad about that."
Meanwhile in Vlad's mansion, Skulcker then threw Kitten to the floor.
"What do you want from me?" asked Kitten to Skulcker and Vlad as Vlad came into the room.
"I would like to make an offer to you" replied Vlad.
"What kind of an offer?" asked Kitten.
"I would let you have your ghost powers back if you become my apprentice and work for me" replied Vlad.
"But what about the Brotherhood of Evil?" asked Kitten.
"Don't worry" replied Vlad, "should anything happen to them. Like oh let's say the Titans and their allies manage to defeat them. I'll come and get you out."
Then Vlad took out a communicator as he was trying to hack into communication of the Brotherhood of Evil, Madame Rogue was about to tell the Brain of her failure to capture Danny Phantom.
"This is Madame Rogue" said Madame Rogue, "I have failed in capturing Danny Phantom."
"I believe we can come to some agreement here" said a voice as Vlad's picture came up.
"How did you get this line?" asked Madame Rogue, "And why would you aid the Brotherhood of Evil."
"I would just like to drop off Kitten to you" said Vlad, "and oh. I have placed a tracking device on her. If anything bad happens to your organization. I'll just come in and free her and make her my apprentice."
Vlad then turned off the communications between him and Madame Rogue and then began to call Walker.
"Is the Brotherhood of Evil out of the way?" asked Walker.
"Yes" replied Vlad, "you may implement your ultimate plan to weaken Danny Phantom."
"I'll do it ASAP" said Walker.
