Chapter Five: The Battle for Earth

We rejoin the story as the people of Earth fight a desperate battle against the invading Yugopotamians. The alien invaders moved quickly and seized large pieces of land. The humans and ghosts fought back bravely but it was difficult. The Yugopotamians had the advantage that they controlled the space above Earth, and their weapons seemed to affect the halfas and ghosts. We rejoin our heroes as they defended Amity Park.

"We have reports that parts of Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Europe are now under the control of the alien invaders, our troops are fighting bravely but still the invaders advance, but we will win, this is Radio Earth reporting." said the newsman.

"Damn, this is looking bad." said Sam.

"I know, but we have to keep trying, there has to be some way to beat them." said Danny.

Our heroes sat in what was once the mall, the aliens had advanced far into the town and the sounds of battle could be heard all around.

"So what's the plan Danny?" said Valerie.

"We just have to keep fighting and hope that we get a break." said Danny, as he fired at one of the Yugopotamian soldiers.

The Yugopotamians tried to get around our heroes but they were beaten off, so our heroes went back to talking.

"The first rule of battle is to look for weakness in your opponent." said Skulker.

"That's it, we need to find out what their weakness is, thanks." said Danny.

"Your welcome." said Skulker.

"Ok, we need to send some people behind enemy lines to spy on them, Kitty and Alicia you should go." said Danny.

"Why us?" said Alicia.

"Because your magic will be able to take care of anything the Yugopotamians throw at you, and even if you don't find anything with your eyes Kitty can read their minds to find out their weakness." said Danny.

"Ok, we'll go." said Alicia.

"Good, just don't do anything foolish out there." said Danny.

"Come on, when was the last time I did something foolish?" said Alicia.

"Remember the day you turned us purple?" said Tucker.

"Oh I accidentally make us look like human grapes and you can't let it go can you?" said Alicia.

"Just be careful out there, I don't know what I would do if I lost you." said Alex.

"I will." said Alicia as she gave him a kiss.

"Be careful out there baby cakes." said Johnny 13.

"I will." said Kitty.

So with that Alicia and Kitty went intangible and phased through the ground.

"Do you think they will be ok?" said Rob.

"I'm sure they will be fine." said Danny.

Alicia and Kitty went through the ground intangible and snuck behind enemy lines. They came up near what once was a mini mall and saw a group of Yugopotamian soldiers, they seemed to be stopped in front of a candy store. The two girls listened in on what they were saying.

"Sir, we found another weapons depot." said one of the soldiers.

"Weapons depot? But that's a candy store." whispered Kitty.

"Shh! Their talking again." whispered Alicia.

"Darn those humans, is there no end to their treachery." said the leader of the soldiers.

"Kitty, I think we need to see what their thinking." whispered Alicia.

"Gotcha." whispered Kitty.

Using her mind reading powers Kitty looked into the thoughts of the Yugopotamian soldiers. After a few seconds a look of confusion crossed her face.

"What? Did you find something?" whispered Alicia.

"Yeah, and your not going to believe it." whispered Kitty.

"What?" whispered Alicia.

"Those candies and sweets in there, they consider them weapons." whispered Kitty.

"You're kidding?" whispered Alicia.

"No, apparently things like candy, chocolate, flowers, cute animals, they are all harmful and even deadly to them. They actually fear Earth a little because all that stuff exists on our planet." whispered Kitty.

"We have to tell the others about this quick." whispered Alicia.

They tried to get away quietly but as they were moving Alicia stepped on a stick.

"Hey there are some humans over there, get them!" said one of the Yugopotamian soldiers.

Without thinking Kitty and Alicia ran as fast as they could. At that moment thought left and the will to survive took over, which explains why they just didn't go intangible and escape. They ran as fast as they could with the Yugopotamians firing right at them. but disaster struck when one of the shots hit Kitty in the leg.

"Ahh!" shouted Kitty as she fell.

"Kitty!" yelled Alicia as she went back to help.

The Yugopotamian soldiers were gaining on the two girls, if they did not act fast they would be captured. Thinking quickly Alicia remembered what Kitty had said just moments ago. Using her magic she turned all the Yugopotamian weapons into flowers. The soldiers immediately began to freak out, giving Alicia and Kitty the chance to escape.

They ran back to their side of the line, but more soldiers were following them.

"Look, it's Kitty and Alicia, and it looks like they have company." said Tucker.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it." said Ember.

Ember took out her guitar and sent a sonic attack that went over Kitty and Alicia's heads and hit the Yugopotamian soldiers. This knocked them back and gave Alicia and Kitty enough time to get back to their side of the line.

"What happened?" said Danny.

"We went to spy on the aliens, but when we tried to sneak away they noticed us. As we were escaping one of them shot Kitty in the leg." said Alicia.

"What! I'll kill those alien scum!" yelled Johnny 13.

"Easy there, Kitty will be fine, did you guys find anything out?" said Danny.

"Yes, we found out what their weakness is." said Alicia.

"Really, what is it?" said Danny.

"You won't believe me, but it is candy." said Alicia.

"Really?" said Danny.

"Yes, apparently things like candy, chocolate, flowers, and fluffy stuffed animals are dangerous to them." said Alicia.

"Wow, I never would have guessed that, is it true Kitty?" said Danny.

"Yes, it is, yeah! watch how your bandaging that, its too tight." said Kitty.

"So what do we do with this information?" said Sam.

"I think I have a plan." said Rob with a devious look on his face.

"Uh oh, I know that look, that look means something crazy is running around in his mind." said Ember.

"What makes you say that?" said Valerie.

"The last time he had that look we almost got arrested." said Ember.

"Hey it turned out alright, we found the money and the real thieves, found a home for the mongoose, and the ketchup eventually came out of our clothes." said Rob.

"What is the plan Rob?" said Danny.

"Well if Alicia, Sam, and Alex can make us a large amount of candy and flowers I can launch them at the Yugopotamians with these." said Rob as he used his shape shifter powers to turn his hands into two catapults.

"Well it's a plan, ok you guys, make with the sugary treats." said Danny.

So our heroes began to put their plan into action. Sam, Alicia and Alex began to make a large amount of candy, flowers, and cute fluffy stuffed animals. they began to load them into Rob's catapult hands, and none to soon, for the Yugopotamians were starting another attack.

"Guys! Their coming!" said Johnny.

"Ok Rob, don't fire until I say so." said Danny.

"Got you." said Rob.

The wave of alien soldiers got closer and closer to their line.

"Hold it, hold it." said Danny, the soldiers were almost on top of them.

"Fire!" said Danny.

Rob launched the payload of sugary doom at the Yugopotamians. the candy, flowers, and stuffed animals began to rain down on the Yugopotamians. the effect was almost immediate, the alien soldiers began to run around screaming as the candy burned them.

"Ahhhh! Chocolaty death from above!" said one of them.

"Argh! It's raining fluffy doom!" said another as a teddy bear hit him.

"Aiii! flowery evil!" said one more.

The Yugopotamians began to run for their lives and soon they were gone.

"My god, it actually worked." said Sam.

"See, I told you it would." said Alicia.

"We have found out something important, we have to tell everyone about this." said Danny.

So they had gotten the word out to the fighters in their general area. these people told the commanders at HQ, who then told the other HQ's. Pretty soon the news had gone around the world. The soldiers began to stockpile large amounts of candy, flowers, and soft cuddly things, like pillows. They were helped by the fact that a large number of witches and wizards had gone to fight in the war, saying that their magic powers were their special ghost powers. Soon the attack was ready, they just had to wait for the signal.

"Ok guys, we wait for the signal and then we attack." said Danny.

The defenders of the Earth waited patiently in their hideouts holding their weapons of sweet and fluffy destruction. Then they got the signal, a single blast one a trumpet.

"Attack!" yelled Danny.

The soldiers stormed out of their hiding places and towards the enemy lines, and all around the world the strangest battle in all of human history had begun. The Yugopotamians were taken by surprise at the boldness of the humans, then they saw the weapons they were welding. The second they saw them they ran screaming for their lives, it was a full blown retreat. The Yugopotamians ran to their ships to escape the sugary evil that was following them. They blasted off to escape the humans, but not even that could save them. The ghosts and humans followed them into orbit around the planet, since ghosts, and humans in ghost mode, did not need to breathe they could follow without trouble. The only reason they had helmets (provided by their friendly neighborhood magic users) was so that they could talk to each other.

"We got them on the run, begin the next phase." said Danny over the radio.

The humans and ghosts began to attack the ships the Yugopotamians had in orbit above the planet. Using their powers of intangibility they stormed the ships and began to take them over, one by one the ships of the fleet fell. On the kings ship they watched as everything seemed to be going down hill.

"Your highness! The humans are over running the fleet, their candy based weaponry is too powerful!" said the head general. QHWQ

"Oh no! It's only a matter of time before they come to capture us! Ahhhhhh!" yelled Queen Jipjorulac as she ran around panicking.

"Fear not my queen, those disgusting humans won't get the chance once we blow up their planet! Arm the planet destroyer!" said King Gripullon.

The soldiers quickly carried out their leaders command. Soon a giant laser gun was pointed at the Earth and it began to charge up. Now you can't help but notice something like this and the humans and ghosts saw the laser right away.

"What is that thing?" said Danny.

"It looks like some kind of giant laser." said Rob.

"What is it going to do?" said Danny.

"Oh crap, this is not good, I just measured the power in that thing and it has enough power to blow up the Earth." said Alicia.

"Holy crap! That thing is going to destroy the Earth, everyone fire at it, we have to destroy it!" said Danny.

Everyone in radio range heard Danny and they quickly began to fire upon the ship. But unfortunately it was one of the strongest and best defended ships in the fleet, so the attacks did little to stop it. The laser cannon continued to charge up and was about to fire at Earth. Just when it looked like Earth was doomed something happened, a massive blast hit the side of the Yugopotamian ship just as it fired. This knocked it off target and the laser blast went past Earth.

"What is going on!" said King Gripullon.

"Sir! Another fleet has entered the area and is firing on us!" said one of the soldiers.

"Who is it?" said the King, but he was soon answered when a figure appeared on the screen.

"You!" said the king.
