Chapter Three: New World Disorder

It was the next day and our heroes were trying to think of ways that they could make the humans and ghosts get along. This was proving harder then they thought.

"Well what do we have so far?" said Danny.

"Well on the one hand we know that ghosts hate humans, easy to anger, and have the nasty habit of trying to destroy what they don't like. While on the other humans hate ghosts, are also easy to anger, and have the nasty habit of trying to destroy what they don't like." said Sam.

"Those seem like similarities." said Alicia.

"So basically we need to get over those problems." said Tucker.

"Yep." said Sam.

"We're all doomed." said Tucker.

"Maybe not, we need to convince the humans and ghosts that fighting each other would destroy them both." said Danny.

"I think I know how, all we have to do is get the Mr. and Mrs. Fenton to convince the humans to lay off of the ghosts. Since they are the worlds leading ghost experts' people will believe them." said Valerie.

"We'll do our best." said Maddie.

"Yeah, I'll wow them with my world renowned expertise. I'll go get my 8 hour slide show!" said Jack.

"Mom, you better do most of the talking, if dad speaks everyone will end up in a coma." said Danni.

"Good point." said Maddie.

"But what about the ghosts? We need someone to talk to them." said Alex.

"Well as much as I hate to say it we may have to be the ones to talk to them." said Danny.

"Are you crazy! They hate us, how are we going to get them to listen to us?" said Valerie.

"Not all of them hate us, plus we are the only ones who can talk to them, and we won't be going in alone." said Danny.

"Who will go with us?" said Sam.

"Ember and Rob Phantom." said Danny.

"Why them?" said Tucker.

"Because of the fact that when Ember started her music career not only did she become popular on Earth, but in the Ghost Zone as well. Many of the younger ghosts will listen to her." said Danny.

"So you think they will listen to us then?" said Valerie.

"We have to try." said Danny.

So our heroes began to put their plan into action. As Danny and went to talk to the ghosts Maddie and Jack went to Washington to talk to the president. First we deal with Danny and his group, who are joined by Ember and Rob. Using their powers Alicia, Alex, and Sam located the largest concentration of ghosts on Earth. It seems the ghosts were meeting to decide what to do. (Remember, Skulker, Technus and Walker are still in the thermos. So they can't mess everything up.)

"What are we going to do?" said one ghost.

"I don't know, we seem to be trapped on Earth with the humans." said another.

"Maybe we should try talking to them?" said one more ghost.

"Yeah right, like they would actually listen to us." said one ghost.

"I'll listen." said a voice from behind them.

They turned around to see that Danny and the others were standing right behind them.

"Y-your Danny Phantom!" said one of the ghosts.

A murmur went through the crowd at the mention of the infamous halfa. While many had not seen him in person they had heard about him. Some of it was good, like when he saved the ghosts from Vlad, and some bad, like him beating up ghosts.

"What do you want? Have you come to fight?" said the first ghost.

"No, I just want to talk to you and your leaders." said Danny.

"Uh, our leaders? Could you give us a second?" said the ghost.

After a brief amount of arguing and a short "yo momma" contest, they had decided who their leaders were. They had oddly enough picked people Danny had meet before. They were Desiree, The Ghost Writer, Johnny 13, and Kitty.

"It's you, I'm still upset that you destroyed my book." said the Ghost Writer.

"I said I was sorry, can't you get over it? Plus you got to write other one anyway." said Danny.

"That's not the point, I liked the original one." said the Ghost Writer.

"Guys, could we forget about the past and think about the present here." said Ember.

"Yeah, we have a crisis here." said Kitty.

"Fine." said Danny and the Ghost Writer.

"So, what do you want to talk about?" said Desiree.

"We want to talk about peace between the humans and the ghosts. Since according to the Grim Reaper we're going to be stuck together for the rest of eternity we want there to be peace between our two sides." said Danny.

"Why should we do that?" said the Ghost Writer.

"Because like it or not we are all living in the same place now, and we might as well get along." said Danny.

"Yeah, plus do you really want to fight an entire race of halfas? If we fight we'll end up destroying each other and the planet. We don't want that, and I assume you don't want that." said Sam.

"I would listen to them, fighting the humans at this point would be disastrous." said Ember.

"You make a good argument, so what do you want exactly?" said Desiree.

"You know how there are certain days that are truce days, well we were wondering if there was a way to have extended truce between us and you." said Danny.

"Let me check the big book of Ghost law." said the Ghost Writer as he pulled out a very large book from his pocket.

"How did that book fit in there?" said Tucker.

"That's none of your business, now lets see…ah, here it is. If some one from the human race asks for a truce between the their race and the ghosts, then it must be heard out and approved by at least 5,000 ghosts. If they approve then the truce will be held by all ghosts until it is broken." said the Ghost Writer.

"Ok, so how many ghosts do we have here?" said Johnny 13.

"Um, about 10,000." said the Ghost Writer.

"Good, then we can begin. Fellow ghosts, this human child has asked us for a truce with his kind, do you accept or refuse this offer of peace!" said Desiree to the whole crowd.

They began to count how many ghosts voted yes or no. after a hour or so they had the votes in.

"Ok, with all the votes counted it seems that 5002 ghosts say we should allow the truce, so by the smallest of margins the truce is approved." said the Ghost Writer.

"Just remember to keep your side of the truce." said Desiree.

"Don't worry, my parents are working on that side of the truce." said Danny.

Meanwhile on the other side of the planet in Washington D.C. Jack and Maddie were meeting with the president. Since they were considered the world's greatest ghost experts that meant they got to meet him quickly because of the current crisis.

"Good morning Mr. President." said Maddie.

"Good morning Mrs. Fenton, now you said you and your husband had something to talk to me about?" said President McCain.

"Yes, it is about the recent events that have occurred in our world. We have found out that what happened is that our world and the ghost world have been combined, that is why there are so many ghosts." said Maddie.

"So is there anyway to fix it? Are the ghosts responsible for it?" said the president.

"No on both counts, there is no way to fix this, and what happened was a natural disaster, not a man, or should I say ghost, made one." said Maddie.

"So what do we do now?" said the president.

"Well, since it seems we will be stuck with the ghosts for a long time, we should try to get along with them, make peace with them." said Maddie.

"Are you sure that is a good idea? I mean they are ghosts after all." said the president

"Mr. President we used to think that as well but recently through much research (I.E. they made it up just yesterday) we have found that ghosts are just like humans. There are some bad ghosts just like there are some bad humans, and most of them are good just like most humans are good." said Maddie.

"What if we did try to fight them?" said the president.

"It would be disastrous for the planet and for both sides. A war between humans and ghosts would destroy the planet at this point." said Maddie.

"So what you're saying is that we must make peace?" said the president.

"Yes, for the sack of the world and future generations." said Maddie.

"Ok, I'll talk to the other world leaders, I am meeting them at the UN later today." said the president.

As Maddie and Jack left Jack hugged his wife.

"You were great Maddie! It's a shoe in now." said Jack.

"Lets hope so, I just hope we were able to convince him, and he can convince the world." said Maddie.

Later that day the president went to the UN and talked about what Maddie had said to him. Oddly enough the rest of the assembled leaders could see that fighting would be a bad idea. At the end of the meeting the leaders of the world issued a statement saying that they sought peace with the ghosts, and urged the people of the world to do the same.

"And that is the news, the leaders of the world have decided to offer peace to the ghosts, we can only wait to see what their response will be." said the women on the news.

"See, I told you my parents would come through." said Danny.

"So they did, I guess we have to meet with these world leaders and tell them that we accept their offer." said Desiree.

So the quote unquote leaders of the ghosts went to meet with the leaders of the humans. They agreed to not fight each other and live in peace. Now you maybe wondering how it was so easy, well we have to go see Grim and Clockwork for that. They were looking at the events unfolding on the planet.

"See, I told you they could handle it." said Clockwork.

"Yeah, the claming thing I did also made the humans and ghosts more accepting of peaceful solutions to problems." said Grim.

"Good, we can't afford to let this fail." said Clockwork.

And so the humans and ghosts settled into a relatively peaceful existence. A side effect of Grim's magic was that most of the world's conflicts were resolved in that week. The Fenton's also provided a training program to the governments of the world to deal with criminals using their new ghost powers to commit crimes.

Danny and the others had eventually let Skulker, Technus, and Walker out of the thermos and told them of the truce, mostly between fits of Technus crying about how it meant he couldn't conquer the world anymore.

"In international news the peace that was established just two weeks ago is still holding. There have been minor incidents between humans and ghosts, but they have been quickly taken care of by the police in the area's effected." said the newswomen.

Time went on and more and more people figured out their ghost powers. Pretty soon most people had figured out how to at least fly, this was not good for the airline companies. A month after the incident they had tried to get laws passed in several countries that would make it illegal for people to use their flying powers, this was not taken well.

"Today a bill was introduced into congress to ban the ability of people to use their new "ghost powers" to fly. It is however not expected to pass as millions have protested the law, many saying that any congressmen who votes for the bill can kiss their seat in congress goodbye." said the man in the news.

"Wow, I never knew how drastically all this would effect the world." said Sam.

"Yeah, who knew we would be surround by ghosts and not fighting them." said Danny.

More time passed, with the governments of the world offering citizenship to all ghosts who wanted it. The reason being that if they were there they might as well be part of the country. This required the ghosts to tie the doors to their lairs down to the ground so they would stay in one spot. Finally a month and a half had passed with no major disaster, but that was all about to change.

"Spectra, I think it is time we shake things up a bit. All our attempts so far to stir up trouble have been thwarted, we need a new plan." said Vlad.

"So what do you propose sweetie?" said Spectra.

"I think it is time to ramp it up a bit, we need a event that will create a massive amount of tension between the humans and ghosts quickly. I think we should have some one attack the president of the United States. This one act will make all the humans and ghosts hate each other." said Vlad.

"That's brilliant, each side will think the other started it first and then in the chaos we can take over." said Spectra, she then kissed him. (That still grosses me out)

It was the next day and Danny and our heroes were doing training exercises. Ever since Jack almost blew up the house with an ectoblast Danny had been training them.

"Ok, today we will be going over energy attacks. You all know how to do an ectoblast?" said Danny.

"Yes." everyone answered, bored.

"Good, then we will start on energy orbs." said Danny.

As they were practicing they had the TV on. As they practiced flight on more time a news bulletin came on the air.

"This just in, we have reports from Washington D.C. that the president was just attacked. He is alright but is hurt, the attack was carried out by a ghost shouting down with humans, could this be the start of some sort of war on humans, only time will tell." said the newsman.

"Oh crud, this is not good." said Alicia.

"Yeah, and what is with that news reporter saying that it was a sign of war?" said Valerie.

"Uh guys, look at this." said Tucker.

Everyone looked to the screen were Tucker was pointing, there they could see a little symbol, the symbol for the Masters media company.

"Vlad, I knew it was him, he is the one behind this." said Danny.

"We can only hope people won't fall for Vlad's evil plan." said Sam.

Unfortunately for our heroes this little event started a avalanche of anger. The humans accused the ghosts of trying to start a war and the ghosts said the humans had staged the attack themselves to start a fight. The underlying tension that had been contained so far finally came out. The situation got more and more out of control and it looked like war would start any second. Little did the humans and ghosts know that something from beyond their world would force them to work together.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Clockwork: Well it seems that things are heating up, but this is only the beginning. Now for the hurt Vlad lever. Clockwork pulls the hurt Vlad lever. On the screen we can see Vlad walking down a hall in his home. Suddenly we can see that a ghost proof snare appears in the middle of the hall. Vlad steps in it and is immediately pulled off his feet and is hung upside down from the ceiling.

Vlad: What is going on here? Suddenly Vlad is hit by a bunch of pies, garbage, and manure.

Vlad: Gah! This is the worst day ever!

Clockwork: Hmm? Where is the Fluffy Army of Doom, they usually attack by now? Wait, I found I note.

Dear Clockwork:

Took the day off to visit an amusement park, be back later

Love, the Fluffy Army of Doom.

We turn to see that the Fluffy Army of Doom is having a good time, riding the rides and eating lots of amusement park food.

Clockwork: Hmm? What do I do now? Maybe I should use my time staff to make what just happened to Vlad happen again and again. Clockwork uses his time staff to make Vlad fall into the trap over and over and over.

Vlad: Gah! This is the worst day ever!

Clockwork: I could do this all day but I have a chapter to finish.

Well it seems that the humans and ghosts went from on the brink of war, to peace, right back to war, and we have Vlad to blame. What will Danny and his friends do now that the humans and ghosts are ready to beat the crud out of eachother? How will they stop Vlad's evil plan? And what strange event lies ahead that will change everything? The only way to find out is to read the next chapter of Ghost Earth.

Clockwork: So until next time Danny Phantom fans, read and review.
