Chapter Four: Darkness Consumes
The battle between Vlad's army and our brave group of ghost fighters began, riding on the outcome was the future of the world. Our group of heros charged forward and began to rip into the ranks of the ghost army. The Fenton RV, driven by Jack, was driving through around at break neck speed, blasting the ghost skeletons and robots, or simply mowing them down with the new anti-ghost bumper Jack had invented.
Meanwhile the Specter Speeder, being flown by Valerie's dad was blasting the army from the air. It was taking out large swathes of the ghost army, and also blasting them out of the air. Along with the weapons being fired by the adults, the kids were using the Fenton Port-o-Portal to send the ghosts back to the Ghost Zone.
At the center of this melee, were Danny, Sam, Valerie, and Alicia. They were taking on all of the main ghosts, and since Valerie's father was too busy to notice, Sam and Alicia could use their powers.
"You will never stop us, I, Technus, ghost master of technology..." said Technus, before Alicia levitated a boulder and hit him.
"God, does he ever stop talking." said Sam.
"Try being in the same room with him." said Skulker.
Skulker used one of the missile launchers on his shoulder, firing a dozen missiles at them. They ducked out of the way, only to go into the path of Ember's sonic attack. This knocked them through the sky, while the other ghosts blasted them.
"This isn't working, lets split up into two teams, me and Sam will take the ghosts on the left, Valerie and Alicia take the right." said Danny.
Our heros split up and faced the ghosts. Danny and Sam were facing Skulker, Technus, Desiree, and the Lunch Lady, Valerie and Alicia were facing Ember, Spectra, Bertrand, Walker, and Johnny 13 and Kitty.
"You think you will stop us whelp?" said Skulker.
"I don't think, I know!" said Danny as he fired ghost rays at them, and Sam used her magic attacks.
"From one rocker girl to another, give up, you can't win." said Ember.
"And from one rocker to another, you'll win over my dead body!" said Alicia as she and Valerie attacked.
Danny sent a blast at Technus, sending him flying into Desiree, Skulker responded with a energy blast, which was absorbed by a shield Sam throw up. Desiree, who was angry about being put into close contact with Technus, shot at Sam, she turned her hand into a lasso and grabbed Sam. She started to twirl Sam around in the air.
While this was happening Alicia and Valerie were having a hard time. Ember, Spectra, Walker, and Johnny 13 were actually working as a team to blast at them. Alicia had to throw up a shield to protect them and they could not attack.
"What do we do?" said Alicia.
"I don't know, unless something comes along to distract them we can't attack." said Valerie.
Fortunately the gods of random, dumb luck were listening, for back with Danny and Sam, Sam was getting a idea. She decided to turn the tables on Desiree, she slowly stopped the spinning, once that was done she began to spin Desiree around.
"Ahhh! Make it stop, I'm going to be sick!" shouted Desiree.
Desiree was so distracted she did not notice Sam get out of the lasso and grabbed it. Sam continued to spin her around and then she released her. Desiree went flying through the air, right at the group of ghosts attacking Alicia and Valerie. Desiree plowed into several of them, giving Alicia a chance to drop the shield so they could attack.
"This will be fun." said Alicia as she sent a magic energy blast at Walker, slamming him into the ground.
So the battle began again, while Danny and Sam were trading punches and kicks with Skulker and Technus, and dodging meat and energy blasts from the Lunch Lady and Desiree. Alicia and Valerie were blasting away. Ember tried hit them with a blast from her guitar, but she missed and Valerie sent a ghost grenade at her, knocking her from the sky. Valerie floated there looking proud, but she did not notice Spectra coming up behind her.
"Valerie look out!" shouted Alicia as she blasted away the evil psychiatrist.
"Thanks." said Valerie, as they went back to fighting.
While this battle was going on Vlad and Dan were standing back.
"Why are we just standing here? We should be destroying Danny and his pathetic band of ghost fighters." said Dan.
"All in good time." said Vlad.
"I wanted to make my younger self pay, I can't do that being on the sidelines." said Dan.
"We have to wait for the others to wear them down, once they are tired and weak we will swoop in and defeat them." said Vlad.
"Fine, but I don't like it." said Dan.
"No one said you had to like it, just follow the plan." said Vlad.
"God, I can't wait for the moment I can lose this cheese head and run things my way." thought Dan.
Meanwhile we go back to the battle, Alicia and Valerie were doing their best to beat the ghosts. Alicia used a energy orb to send Ember flying into Johnny 13, causing them to crash into a building. Walker came up behind her and but her in a head lock, and Spectra prepared to use a ghost ray to knock her out. But before she could Valerie hit her with a blast from her ghost bazooka. Walker was shocked and this gave Alicia enough time to flip him and send him crashing into what was left of an office building.
"They just keep coming." said Alicia.
"Then we have to keep fighting them." said Valerie.
Then suddenly out of nowhere Kitty, who had been absent through this whole battle, grabbed Alicia and dragged her away.
"Alicia!" shouted Valerie, but it was too late.
Kitty took Alicia and phased them into the basement of a building that had been abandoned. Alicia prepared to fight but Kitty threw up her hands.
"Wait! I don't want to fight, I want to talk!" said Kitty quickly.
"What do you want to talk about ghost." said Alicia.
"I found out what Dan is really planing." said Kitty.
"What?" said Alicia.
"Yes, he's planning on betraying Vlad and killing everyone except Sam, destroy the town, then he will rule the world by himself with a evil Sam by his side." said Kitty.
"How does he plan to do that?" said Alicia.
"He had Technus build a ray gun to make her older and one to make her evil." said Kitty.
"How do you know all of this?" said Alicia.
"Its my power, I can read minds, since its not as flashy as the others powers noone ever noticed I had it." said Kitty. (AN: I noticed Kitty doesn't have any specific power, so I decide to give her one, I still don't own Danny Phantom)
"Why are you telling me all this?" said Alicia.
"Because what Dan and Vlad are doing is wrong, I never wanted to conquer the Earth or hurt anybody, I just wanted to be with Johnny. But Vlad and Dan convinced him to go on this crazy conquer the world thing." said Kitty.
"Ok, why should I believe you." said Alicia.
"I know from reading your mind that you have a power to tell when someone is lying." said Kitty.
She was right, which proved that she could read minds at least. So Alicia used her power to look at Kitty, and she saw that indeed she was telling the truth.
"My god, you are telling the truth! I have to warn everyone!" said Alicia.
"I'm glad you believe me, now lets get back before anyone suspects something." said Kitty.
Kitty and Alicia flew out off the building, what they did not know was they were being watched. One of Dan's duplicates had been following Kitty and had heard the whole conversation, this meant the real Dan had heard it as well. This turn of events did not please him at all.
"Damn! I knew there was something wrong about the looks she was giving me, now she's blabbed my plan to one of Danny's goody-goody friends. If she tells others it might get back to Vlad and my plan will be sunk, I better make sure she is occupied." thought Dan.
He flew off to find Ember, who was impacted into the ground from another one of Valerie's ghost weapons.
"Ugh, I'll get that bitch for that last one." said Ember as she started to pull herself out of the hole.
Guy from the anti-bad language league: "Such language should not be used at all, there might be children reading this, in fact..." The guy gets hit with a 16 ton weight. (AN: sorry about that, carry on.)
"I know, they are really bothersome, aren't they?" said Dan.
"What are you doing here?" said Ember.
"I just found out the most shocking news, I saw Kitty speaking to that Alicia person, and she gave her our plans." said Dan.
"What?" said Ember.
"Yes, I saw her talking to her and she told her the whole plan." said Dan.
"That little traitor! What do we do?" said Ember.
"Well to stop Danny or his friends from finding out I want you to separate her from them and keep her busy until we win." said Dan.
"Ok, I'll make sure the witch doesn't talk to her friends." said Ember as she flew off.
"I love it when a plan comes together, even when it looks like it will fail. I hope my other duplicate gets back here with the "present" I have for Danny and this city." said Dan as he flew off again.
Meanwhile Alicia was trying to get back to the others, they had moved pretty far from where they had been when Kitty stopped her to talk. She could just make them out in the distance when a blast knocked her back. She tumbled through the air, she quickly righted her self and turned to face whoever had blasted her.
"Hello little rocker, trying to get back to your friends?" said Ember.
"Yes, and if you don't mind getting out of my way..." said Alicia, but Ember blocked her.
"I'm afraid I can't let you do that, Dan warned me that Kitty told you all about Vlad's plan, and now I'm going to stop you from telling the rest of your bratty friends." said Ember as she sent a blast from her guitar.
Ember began to attack Alicia and drive her further away from the rest of the ghost fighters.
"You'll never win, soon you, your friends and family, and every human on Earth will be bowing down to us." said Ember.
"Fat chance!" said Alicia. "I have to get to the others and warn them about Dan's plan." thought Alicia as she battled Ember.
Meanwhile Danny, Sam, and Valerie had been forced to go back to fighting as one group when Alicia disappeared. Fortunately they had weeded down the number of enemies they had. They had taken down the Lunch Lady, Desiree, Walker, Spectra, and Bertrand, now all they had to face was Skulker and Technus, but they were getting tired.
"So ghost child, ready to give up."said Skulker.
"Why should I? we've been beating you so far." said Danny.
"Your tired, it is only a matter of time before we wear you down and defeat you." said Technus.
"Yeah, and who's going to do that?" said Sam.
"Me." said a voice from the side, then a energy blast came and hit our heros.
They were sent tumbling through the air, but they righted themselves. When they did they came face to face with Vlad and Dan.
"So you two finally decided to show your ugly faces." said Danny.
"Why you little..." said Dan, before being interrupted by Vlad.
"Well Daniel I can see your wit still has its dull edge. It is time to end this battle." said Vlad.
"Yeah, then I can send you to the home for crazed up fruit loops, maybe there you could get a cat?" said Danny.
"I WILL NOT GET A CAT!" said Vlad.
"Yeah, yeah, lets just get this over with." said Danny.
"Oh we will, but first, Dan could you take care of those little annoyances?" said Vlad, pointing to the Fenton RV and the Specter Speeder.
"It will be my pleasure." said Dan as he sent two ectoblasts at them.
One of the blasts hit the RV in the treads, causing it to spin out of control and hit a tree that was amazingly still standing. The other hit the Speeder in the engine and it fell form the sky, it hit the ground and skidded along, creating a small trench in the ground. The occupants of the vehicles came stumbling out of them and fell unconscious. After seeing that they were alright Danny turned back to face Vlad and Dan.
"You two are monsters!" said Danny.
"And don't you forget it." said Dan as he attacked.
Dan charged at Danny and tried to punch him in the head, but Danny ducked. Danny tried to give a roundhouse kick to Dan's head but Dan turned into a cloud of smoke and Danny's foot went harmlessly through him. Dan came back with a energy blast but Danny threw up a shield that blocked it, but he did not notice Vlad sneak up behind him and send a ghost ray at him. The ray hit Danny, knocking him around. This gave Dan the chance to start pummeling him.
"Danny!" shouted Sam and Valerie, as they got into the fight.
With her magic powers Sam lifted a broken car and hurled it at Dan, he did not see it coming and was knocked out of the sky. Valerie used her bazooka to blast Vlad sending him flying. They rushed over to Danny.
"Are you all right Danny?" said Sam.
"I'm fine." said Danny
"Aw, Sam is concerned for her little boyfriend, how cute." said Dan, who threw the car he had been hit with off of him like it was nothing.
"Ok you, I'm going to make you pay for what you've done." said Sam, as she hurled her self at Dan.
Sam tried to use a magic power punch to hit Dan in the head, but he dodged. Danny and Valerie came into the fight blasting but Vlad tackled them and started to throw punches and kicks at them. Meanwhile Dan was fighting a very ticked off Sam, and talking while he was doing it.
"So I hear that you took up witchcraft while I was gone." said Dan, as he tried to punch Sam in the stomach, but missed.
"Yeah, what's it to you?" said Sam, as she sent a fire ball at Dan, which he dodged.
"Oh I just thought I would catch up with you, you know, like we used to do when we were friends." said Dan, as he grabbed Sam and hurled her through a tree.
"I was never friends with you, your not my Danny!" said a enraged Sam as she launched herself at him, her hands blazing with energy.
And so the battle raged on, but their was a problem. Danny, Sam, and Valerie were already tired and weak from fighting the rest of their enemies, while Vlad and Dan were still strong. So as the battle want on our heros blocked less of Vlad and Dan's attacks, and getting less hits in. Soon it was so bad that they were barley defending themselves. The first to fall was Valerie.
She had just tried to fire another blast at Dan when the gun made a clicking noise. She realized to her horror that she was out of ammo and Dan was coming right for her. Dan punched Valerie in the jaw and wreaked her hover board. Valerie fell ten feet and landed on the ground unconscious. the next to fall was Sam.
Sam was desperately trying to knock the smug smile off of Dan's face, but not succeeding at it. She was so wrapped up in fighting Dan she did not notice the ghost ray Vlad sent at her. The ray hit her dead center in the back and knocked her from the sky. She went straight through a brick wall and landed unconscious in someone's bed room, ironically on the bed itself. The last one standing was Danny.
He faced the two evil ghosts, holding his arm were it had been cut earlier. He was beaten and bruised from battle but the look of determination and the will to fight was still in his eyes. He stared down the two who had visited such evil on his town.
"So Daniel, do you give up?" said Vlad.
"Never." said Danny.
"So be it." said Vlad, as they continued their attack.
Danny put up a brave effort, but it was in vain. They two villain quickly overpowered him and began to throw him around like a doll being mauled by two junkyard dogs. Dan punched him and sent hin flying towards Vlad who used a energy blast to send Danny flying back at Dan. Dan then turned duplicated him self and the four Dan's each blasted Danny, causing him to hit the ground hard. Danny got back up to fight but Vlad punched him in the stomach, knocking the wind out of him. This went on for sometime until Danny was too weak to stand.
"Well this has been fun but I think it is time to end it." said Dan.
He prepared to send a blast at Danny that would knock him out. Dan powered up the blast and held it over his head, about to hit the young halfa and end the battle.

Me: This does not look good.
Ember: That's the understatement of the century, Danny's about to be blasted into night-night land.
Me: I know, and there is no one to save him, who could we get to stop this horrible mess?
Ember: Uh, how about you?
Me: Me? That's a great idea! I'll go in and help save the day.
Ember: You better, or were all going to have to learn the pledge of allegiance to Vlad.
Me: Right you are, and now a message from me.
It looks bad for our heros, everyone except Danny is unconscious, but it looks like Dan is about to take care of that. It looks like the end of the road for our heros. Well I say that as long as there is breath in me I will not let this happen. I'm going in there and not coming out until the good guys win. Wish me luck as I go to face the greatest evil the world has ever known. So tune in next time for the next chapter of the Return of Dan
Me: So until next time( I hope) Danny Phantom fans, Read and Review!
