Chapter Thirteen: The Truth is a Lie and a Lie is the Truth Part Two
"Tucker?" said Sam.
"Yeah, its me, it's been a long time Sam." said Tucker.
It had been exactly 4 years since Sam saw Tucker last. He had changed over that time. He had gotten much taller and was definitely more muscular. Also he his face was now more grown up looking, but you could still tell it was him. He was wearing what looked like army fatigues. But what was the same about him was that he still had glasses and still wore his red beret.
"Tucker, where have you been? What happened to you? And what are you doing with these guys?" said Sam.
"Well since you were my friend for so long I guess I can answer those questions for you. When Amity Park was destroyed by Vlad I escaped into the countryside. There I meet up with a band of soldiers that were rebelling against the surrender order. They trained me to fight and after awhile I ended up joining the Resistance, and well, here I am." said Tucker.
"You joined the resistance, but why?" said Sam.
"Because Vlad has been making a mess of this world." said Tucker.
"No he hasn't, he has been saving this world, I've seen it for myself. He saved this world from its own destruction." said Sam.
"My god, he has been filling your head full of lies." said Tucker.
"What do you mean?" said Sam.
"He means Vlad has been feeding you crap for the past four years." said a voice.
Sam turned to see a figure walk towards her. the woman that stood before her had red hair and a eye patch over her left eye, and two laser blasters on her belt.
"Jazz, when did you get back?" said Tucker.
"Not that long ago, I see you saved her from the hit squad Vlad sent after her." said Jazz.
"Hit squad? Vlad?" said Sam.
"Yeah, who did you think was firing on you?" said Tucker.
"But why would Vlad want me killed, I'm his son's girlfriend?" said Sam.
"And that is the problem?" said another voice.
Sam turned to see Ember and Rob step out of the shadows.
"Ember? Rob? What are you doing here?" said Sam.
"We're double agents for the resistance, we spy on Vlad for them." said Rob.
"And to answer your question the reason Vlad wanted you killed was that you were a bad, or should I say good, influence on Daniel. You were changing him into a good person, and if he was too rule the Earth Daniel would have to be evil. With your death he would be pushed over the edge and become completely evil." said Ember.
"Why should I believe you?" said Sam.
"You should believe me because I recorded it." said Ember.
Ember took a DVD out of her pocket and put into a old, beat up looking DVD player. The DVD began to play and on the screen they could see Vlad talking.
"That's it, the reason Daniel is turning good is because of Samantha, but without her he will be the perfect evil son. Hmm, I think its time Samantha meet with an unfortunate accident." said Vlad with an evil smirk.
The DVD ended and Sam stood there in shock, she could not believe what she had seen. Vlad was on the screen talking about having her killed. Now while it is obvious to us that Vlad is evil, he had never been evil in front of her. So all of this came as a shock, and Sam fell into the chair that was conveniently behind her.
"I don't believe it, Vlad actually wants me dead, but why?" said Sam.
"Because Danny would turn evil if you were to die, then he would not be horrified by what Vlad has done to the Earth." said Rob.
"What has he done?" said Sam.
"He has made a mess, most of the planet lives on poverty and are oppressed by Vlad's flunkies. Vlad reintroduced slavery almost immediately, and uses it to build his projects." said Tucker.
"I want to see for myself." said Sam.
"I don't know…?" said Tucker.
"Let her go, if she wants to see what the "great" king Vlad has done for his people then let her." said Jazz.
"Ok, Sam were going on a little trip, I promise that nothing will happen to you." said Tucker.
"Hey, I may have been in a castle for the last four years, but I can still kick all your butts." said Sam.
"Same old Sam, lets go." said Tucker.
Tucker and Sam left the secret hide out and went into the streets of the city. As they walked along Sam saw the evil Vlad had visited on humanity. The streets were cracked and broken, and the buildings were dirty and falling apart. The people living in them looked just as bad. Sam saw hungry and dirty faces starring at her from the windows and stoops of the buildings as she walked by. Everybody seemed to be dressed in rags, Sam began to feel guilty that she had so much while they had so little.
"See what Vlad has done to these people, they have no hope, no future." said Tucker as they walked on.
Soon they came to the area of the former Central Park, which was now called, you guessed it, King Vlad park. (AN: I hate you Vlad, you name changing crazed up fruit loop!)
In the park Sam could see that a huge statue of Vlad was being put up. They hid so that no one would see them. Sam was horrified to see that the people putting it up were in chains, and being whipped by ghosts.
"Move faster slaves!" said one of the guards, as he cracked the whip.
The humans let out a bunch of screams of pain and tried to move faster.
"My god, this…this is horrible." said Sam.
"I know, now lets head back." said Tucker.
Tucker led the shocked Sam back to the hide out.
"Well, did you like what our wonderful leader has done to save the world?" said Jazz sarcastically.
"It…was horrible." was all that Sam could say.
"I know, this is what Vlad has done to the Earth, now do you see why we fight him so much?" said Tucker.
"It's all been a lie, everything for the past four years has been a lie." said Sam in a far off voice.
Sam just sat there for a moment, and then her blood began to boil.
"That bastard, he lied about everything, he ruined the world, and what's worse, not only did he lie to me, but he lied to Daniel as well." said Sam, growling under her breath.
"Yes, we have known that for years, Vlad wanted to keep both of you in the dark so that you would not turn on him." said Tucker.
"That bastard, if I ever see that goddamned bastard again I'm going to fucking kill him." said Sam.
"Something we share in common, so will you help us?" said Jazz.
"Yes, I want to make him pay for this, espcailly trying to bump me off. Wait a minute…Daniel! He probably thinks I'm dead because I've been gone so long." said Sam.
"Oh crap your right, and Vlad has probably told him it was us, what do we do? He's probably coming to kill us right now!" said Tucker.
"Listen, we need Daniel on our side, and I'm the only one he will listen too. So you guys have to let me confront him and explain things." said Sam.
"So you really thing he would come smashing into this part of town to find you?" said Ember.
"I'm sure, so we have to be ready when it happens." said Sam.
Meanwhile on the other side of town at the hotel Daniel was worrying about Sam. he had finally called the local police, who said they would be looking for her.
"Oh where could she be? What could have happened to her?" said Daniel as he paced around the room.
"Don't worry Daniel, I'm sure they will find her soon." said Vlad, who was talking over a video phone.
"I hope so, I don't know what I would do without her." said Daniel.
"I just hope the Resistance hasn't gotten her." said Vlad.
"You think it might be them?" said Daniel.
"Well they do have a base in that area, so they may have taken her. I just hope that they haven't harmed her yet." said Vlad.
"That's because Skulker is supposed to do that." thought Vlad.
"I hope so too, I have to go now dad." said Daniel.
"Bye son." Said Vlad, as the connection was cut.
Daniel walked around his room thinking about Sam and how much he missed her.
"I need to do something, but what? Dad's forces will be to slow in finding her, what if the resistance does something to her before she can be found? There is only one thing I can do, I have to go find her myself." thought Daniel.
Daniel changed into ghost mode and flew out of the hotel. He began to fly to the worse parts of town. He landed in a alley way, in this alley there was a bar that was known to have people from the resistance frequent it. Daniel had learned of it from one of Vlad's watered down intelligence reports. Daniel walked in and everyone in the bar looked in his direction.
"What can I do for you stranger?" said the bartender.
"I'm looking for the headquarters of the resistance." said Daniel.
Instantly everybody in the place pulled out a weapon and aimed it at Daniel.
"And why would you want to know that?" said the bartender.
"Because those bastards took my girlfriend." said Daniel in a menacing voice.
"Now that's too bad, but I'm afraid I can't give you the information that you want." said the bartender, motioning with his gun for Daniel to leave.
"I was hoping you would say that." said Daniel.
Before anyone could stop him Daniel zoomed across the room and grabbed the bartender by the collar. His left hand began to glow and he brought it close to the bartenders face.
"You're going to tell me where they are, or your going to get some free plastic surgery." said Daniel.
"Uh…uh." was all the bartender could say.
"You have five seconds to tell me before I charbroil your face, one, two, three, four…" said Daniel.
"Ok! Ok! I'll tell you, there near the ruins of the Empire State Building, here is how you get to them…" said the Bartender, he then explained where to find them.
"Thank you, have a nice day." said Daniel as he dropped the shocked bartender and left.
Daniel followed the directions that the bartender gave him and he soon found himself in front of an old building. Daniel entered with the utmost caution and stealth, actually he broke done the door with a ectoblast, but we can forgive him because he is not thinking straight. Daniel flew into the building and ended up in a dark room. Suddenly the lights came on and Daniel found himself surrounded by people with guns.
"Well we were right, he did come here to save Sam." said Tucker.
"You bastards! What have you done with Sam! I swear if you did anything to her I will enjoy killing you all slowly!" yelled Daniel.
Some of the rebels got visibly more nervous when he had said that, they knew that he had the power to do so, and would keep his word.
"We have done nothing with her, in fact she is right here." said Tucker.
Sam came out from behind Tucker and Daniel could not be any more happy to see she was ok.
Sam! I'm so glad your ok!" said Daniel as he ran up and embraced Sam.
"Yeah, no thanks to Vlad." said Sam.
"What? What are you talking about?" said Daniel.
"Daniel, there are some things we need to talk about, starting with your dad." said Sam, as Daniel looked at her with a confused face.

Clockwork: Well it seems that it is almost time for Daniel to learn the truth. You all must be wondering how he will take it? Well you will have to wait for the next chapter, but for now we will give another chapter in the book of humiliating Vlad. Clockwork pulls the hurt Vlad lever. The scene changes to Vlad who is just standing in a open field for no apart reason.
Vlad: Ah! This will make a fine place for a new pollution spilling factory. So your trying to ruin the environment huh? Well let's see if you like this pollution? Suddenly Vlad is hit with a pile of garbage, some tar, and a truck load of tangerines, which is still a funny word. After ruining Vlad's clothing the pile of junk disappeared, because we at Rob Phantom co. are environmentally responsible.
Vlad: Yuck! What the hell just happened? Then suddenly the special ninja unit of the Fluffy Army of Doom appeared.
Vlad: This is Rob Phantom's work. Then the fluffy ninjas of doom attacked, visiting anime style doom on Vlad.
Vlad: Aiiii! Vlad is then chased out of the field by the ninjas, making sure that it stays nice and safe.
Clockwork: Well its seems Vlad got what was coming to him, now for the chapter summery.
Sam has learned the true about what Vlad has done to Earth, and may heaven help him when she finds him. Now Sam is about to tell Daniel the truth, and Vlad may want to think of finding a nice rock to hide under. What will happen to the world when Daniel finds out? What will Vlad do if he does? And why in the name of god am I asking so many questions? All these questions (except the last one) will be answered in the next chapter of Daniel Masters.
Clockwork: So until next time Danny phantom fans, Read and Review.
