Chapter Eighteen
Plasmius paced back and forth, becoming more and more agitated with each passing moment. "Where is that fool!" he mumbled to himself.
"Did it ever occur to you that he might've got his butt kicked?" said Danny obnoxiously, intent on annoying Vlad as much as possible before the inevitable happened. Vlad stopped long enough to scowl in his direction and then resumed his pacing, grinding his teeth, irritated.
"I mean," Danny continued, as if unaware of how badly he was getting on his enemy's nerves. "My parents are ghost hunters and the Fright Knight is a bit of an idiot…"
"Yes, well, if anyone knew that, it would be another idiot." sneered Plasmius, his pointed teeth glittering in the greenish light.
"Oh, like me?" returned Danny, acting offended. "Like I haven't heard that one a million times." He kicked randomly at the door, as if this time--the thousand, one hundred and fifty-ninth time--it would come down. Of course it didn't.
A thick silence fell over them. Plasmius went back to pacing and Danny went back to kicking the door and rattling the bars. Vlad paused and gave him a look.
"Daniel, I'll give you one last chance." he said. "Join me and I'll free you right now."
"Don't think so." Danny answered, giving the door a particularly hard kick. "You see, I hate bitter old single losers, so it wouldn't work very well." The ghost gave him a withering look and started to the door. But it burst open before he could reach it. Danny's family had arrived.
"Ooh, you look threatening." mocked Plasmius. Danny was afraid he would have to agree; the group looked as if they had been throughWorld War Threesince he had last seen them. Jazz's sleeves were torn off, Tucker's hat had a huge arrow-hole in it, Valerie's arm was wrapped up in a bloodstained sling and Sam appeared to be wobbling on a broken ankle. Not to mention the cuts and bruises they all seemed to have. They didn't look like they would be able last five seconds against the ghost.
Maddie just glowered and pulled her ecto-blaster on him. Her maternal instincts appeared to be screaming for Vlad Master's immediate destruction. Nobody kidnaps Maddie Fenton's baby. He just simply shielded himself from the blast.
"Now, Maddie, is that necessary?" He shot a ghost ray at Jack, who barely made it out of the way in time. The shot rebounded off the wall and all around the room. It headed for Sam, who fell to the floor, trying to dodge it. Valerie helped her shakily to her feet.
"Sam!" Danny yelped from behind the door. Maddie fired at Vlad again, but, with a swirl of his cloak, he vanished and reappeared behind her. He grabbed her gun and smashed it to pieces. Jazz spun on the spot and shot at him, missing by inches. Maddie drew another gun and aimed. Plasmius vanished again and appeared by the table, seemingalready tiredof the game.
Plasmius reached for the thermos, but an expert shot from Maddie knocked it off the table and sent it spinning across the floor. Jazz dove for it, but a ghost ray from Vlad sent her crashing into the wall. Jack shot a stream of ammunition at the ghost. Plasmius multiplied four copies of himself. Jazz was back on her feet and running, flat-out to get to the thermos first. One of the clones came down on Jack, and another lifted Jazz off the ground and threw her across the room like a rag doll. She came to rest at the foot of the wall closest to Danny and didn't move again.
"Jazz!" hissed Danny from his prison, hoping that she was okay. Tucker started to rush over to her, but the copy shocked him with pinkish electrical energy from his hands. Maddie attempted to get the thermos, but another duplicate picked her up gently and prevented her from her task, holding her, struggling fiercely, several feet from the floor. Valerie was locked in battle with the last clone, so it was up to Sam to get the container. She hobbled towards it, but was thwarted before she could reach it by the real Plasmius. He knocked her to the floor and she pulled her ecto-gun on him. Taken by surprise, he didn't dodge the shot.
Another shot burst from the gun, but this time he was ready and put up and ecto-shield. The blast ricocheted off his shield and hit Sam in the face.
Plasmius flew past her and scooped up the thermos from off the floor. Jazz still hadn't stirred. Plasmius pressed the release and the thermos burst open.
"No!" Danny and Sam screamed. But it was too late. The green light grew brighter and more intense. Despite that, it felt darker than ever. Danny's blood ran cold as he heard the chilling laugh that he had prayed he would never hear again. Dark Danny was free.
