Chapter 3: Confrontation of the Turtle Kind

It was once more nightfall on Amity Park as the three turtles-Michelangelo, Donatello and Leonardo along with Master Splinter were quite disappointed they could not find any traces of Raphael in Amity Park's sewers.

"This is very disappointing" said Master Splinter as he was walking with his walking stick with his three sons.

"I know what you mean" said Leonardo, "we have been searching these sewers for at least the entire day. Raph was sure to have used the sewers as a temporary base."

"But all we found here were rats" said Michelangelo, "uh, besides you Master Splinter."

"Where could have Raphael have gone" said Donatello.

"I can understand your frustrations on finding Raphael's whereabouts" said Master Splinter the scene then switches to Raphael as Nightwatcher along with Valerie overseeing the city watching for Danny Phantom, "but you may find them in the least places you would expect."

"Alright" said Raphael to Valerie as he used his binoculars and notice Danny Phantom flying after Skulcker who was being used as a diversion ploy, "there's our target."

Raphael leaped on the hovercraft with Valerie and took off right after Danny. As Danny got closer to Skulcker, Skulcker was doing his best to fire his various rockets at Danny. But Danny managed to dodge the rockets every time, or destroy each of them with his ghost beam.

"Danny, behind you!" cried Sam's voice on his communicator as both she and Tucker saw Valerie and the Nightwatcher flying right behind him.

Danny fired a large ghost beam at both Valerie and Raphael, but Raphael used some sort of anti-ecto shield Vlad had supplied him with, which only deflected the ghost beam at Danny who then dodged which the ghost beam only hit Skulcker which sent him crashing right down into some garbage.

"Say, whose side are you on?!" cried Skulcker who dusted off the garbage.

"Sorry" replied Raphael as he used his jetpack and raced toward Danny with his sais aimed right at him.

Raphael then attempted to give Danny a good fight with using his weapons at Danny, but it was no use as Danny had managed to turn invisible and dodge his sais. He then boosted up his jetpack and grabbed Danny which made them both plummet down to the ground. Raphael then pinned Danny right on the ground.

"Alright ghost boy" said Raphael, "you're my ticket to being a millionaire."

"He's got the ghost boy" said Valerie to Vlad on the other line.

"Excellent" said Vlad, "someone will come along the way to help you."

"Enough of this talk" said Skulcker as he readied his weapons and came toward Raphael who was still pinning down Danny, "time to claim the ghost boy we have been searching for."

"I don't think that will be such a good idea" said a familiar voice to Raphael as Skulcker turned around and notice three turtles.

"Well, well" said Skulcker as he turned to Leonardo, Michelangelo and Donatello, "what do we have here, more welts to take on?"

"I said it won't be a good idea to do that" said Leonardo as he reasserted his authority.

"Just what are you welts going to do" said Skulcker as he readied his rockets at the three turtles, "come and attack me?"

"Maybe" replied Donatello as he took out his bow along with Leonardo taking out his swords and Michelangelo taking out his nun-chucks.

Skulcker fired his rockets at the three turtles who then dodged the attacks. As Skulcker continued to fight the three turtles, Valerie came into the scene and used a bazooka-like weapon which produced a net which captured Danny.

"Alright, we got what we came for" said Valerie.

"Just wait one second" said Skulcker as he produced some sort of smoke grenade and used it on the three turtles, "let's get the heck out of here then."

As Valerie, Skulcker and Raphael left the scene with Danny being captured, the three turtles attempted to reassess what went on. Before they knew it, a shadowy figure was right behind them and Leonardo knew it wasn't Master Splinter.

"I say" said an unfamiliar voice, "I have never seen your type around these parts."

"Alright" said Leonardo, "why don't you show yourself."

"Gladly" said Vlad as he appeared as Vlad Plasmius right in front of the three turtles, "I usually put the other ghosts in line in these parts, but I never have taken on you strange turtles before."

"Just who heck are you?" asked Michelangelo.

"A good question, I'm Vlad Plasmius" replied Vlad then he split himself into four clones, "and I see you turtles are intruding on my operations against my arch-nemesis Danny Phantom. I am afraid I am going to have to put you three out for good."

"Well bring it on then" said Leonardo.

The Vlad clones came right toward the three turtles and began to fire their ghost beams at the three turtles. Leonardo slashed one of the Vlad clones who then disappeared into thin air. As Leonardo attempted to do the same to another Vlad clone, his two brothers, Donatello and Michelangelo were having some trouble with the two remaining Vlad clones. One of the Vlad clones gave Michelangelo a good punch sending him flying into the garbage. Donatello attempted to use his bow against the other Vlad clone who turned invisible and instead grabbed his bow and began to swing Donatello around, and around and threw him right into the garbage where Michelangelo was.

"Now it's just you and me" said Vlad as he and his clones approached Leonardo cornering him.

Before Vlad or his clones could strike at Leonardo, Master Splinter leaped right into the scene and kicked one of the Vlad clones across the street hitting right against the wall.

"I don't know who the heck you are" said Vlad to Master Splinter, "but I am going to make you pay for that."

"The only thing you'll pay is for hurting my family" said Master Splinter.

Vlad and his clones all made an attack against Master Splinter. Splinter kicked each one of the Vlad clones as they were coming toward him knocking each one of them toward the opposite ends of the street. As Sam and Tucker were coming into the scene, they were shocked that a mutated rat was kicking Vlad's butt, but they could not find Danny anywhere.

"Wow, I should see martial arts in action more often" said Tucker.

Vlad had enough of fighting Master Splinter and reverted all of his clones back into his normal self and disappeared from the scene.

"Wow, that was amazing!" cried Tucker who came toward Master Splinter along with the three turtles who came into the scene.

"And just who might you two young people might be?" asked Master Splinter.

"Sam Manson and Tucker Folly" replied Sam, "I believe our friend Danny is missing."

"Say, could you please show us a picture of him?" asked Donatello.

Sam then gave a photo of Danny in both his ghost and human modes to Donatllo.

"Say guys, isn't that the photo of Inviso Bill Raphael was going to get a reward for?" asked Michelangelo.

"I believe you're right" replied Leonardo then he turns to Sam and Tucker, "do you know who would want to hunt your friend?"

"I believe we have one educated guess" replied Sam.
