Amity Chemical
Danny put away his communicator and looked at Odd and Sam. The Goth had freed herself from the ice on her legs.
"I'm going in alone now. You two stay up here and guard the door leading to the sub basement." said Danny,
"But Danny . . ." said Sam.
"No buts, Sam. I can handle both Freakshow and Undergrowth. I need you two to get some cover when I throw the switch and the power to this place comes back on." said Danny,
"But what if you can't get to the switch?" asked Odd.
"I'll do it. I've got stronger since I last fought Freakshow and Undergrowth." said Danny.
"Be careful, Danny." said Sam,
"Got it." said Danny.
He opened the door and it led to a stair case going down. The place was lit by some small fires which he noticed as he walked down. He went intangible and looked into the room. He stood on a small balcony which was near a massive pool of ecto. He noticed Vlad Masters with a suit case full of money.
He was holding it up to a thrown that was decorated gothic style and on the thrown sat Freakshow.
"I know it is not as much as you said but I can assure you . . ." said Vlad,
"You disappoint me, Mr. Masters." said Freakshow.
He held up a green vial.
"One drop of this could have cured that ghostly belly ache for good but since you are being so overly dramatic." said Freakshow.
He let a cruel smile appear on his features as he leaned forward. Danny stepped forward.
"Hey, Freakshow!" said Danny,
"Phantom." said Freakshow.
Vlad turned and smiled.
"Oh dear, the ghost child of Amity Park has discovered your diabolical plan and has come to rescue me." said Vlad with mock shock.
Danny glared at the man as Vlad ran out of the room which was the same time as ghostly green tentacles emerged from the pool. Undergrowth emerged from the pool and roared as he faced his foe. Danny quickly fired a few ecto bolts which caused no harm to the ghost plant. Undergrowth released a maelstrom of razor leaves onto the ghost boy which caused him to create a shield as the leaves shredded the only armor of protection.
He quickly fired an ice ray which hit Undergrowth's arm and it broke off and fell into the pool. However the ghost plant's arm regenerated in a matter of seconds. Freakshow cackled.
"You will find defeating my friend to be harder then just a little trim. Undergrowth's vines have stretched all over Amity Chemical and thanks to the special chemical I received Undergrowth is virtually immune to your ice powers." said Freakshow.
Undergrowth resumed the battle by unleashing a thorn whip that wrapped itself around Danny and rammed him into the wall and then floor.
"The humans of this city have taken plant life for granted for the last time. When we are done both the Ghost Zone and the human world will be cleansed of this evil." said Undergrowth,
"Not going to happen." said Danny.
He froze the thorn whip and froze all of Undergrowth's legs which caused him to fall into the pool. Freakshow laughed.
"You haven't defeated Undergrowth, Danny. You only scratched a surface. You'll never reach the center here." said Freakshow,
"Says the guy who has a major case of ghost envy. Is that why you want a ghost portal? To turn yourself into a half ghost like me? What a poor sad jealous . . ." said Danny.
"I am not jealous and I will not be upstaged by ghosts!" said Freakshow.
Lydia came out of the wall behind Freakshow.
"Use a door like everyone else!" said Freakshow.
Danny flew towards the switch on the other side of the room.
"Stop him!" said Freakshow.
Lydia unleashed the creatures which served as tattoos on her body and sent them flying at Danny. The ghost boy quickly fired a barrage of ecto bolts as the creatures rained down on him. He quickly grabbed the switch and pulled it.
"No!" shouted Freakshow.
That was when it all fell down. Electricity surged the plant infected machines which caused a major reaction. The ghost portal which Freakshow kept on behind his thrown started to surge through and caused it to short circuit. Glass bulbs shattered, plants burned to ashes, and Danny flew into the air vent and unleashed his ice powers which froze all of the ghost plants.
Undergrowth roared as he came out only to be frozen by a massive blizzard of ice and electricity which broke him down into millions of pieces.
"We must flee but dramatically!" said Freakshow.
Suddenly a live wire burst and hit the man in the back. It shocked him good and knocked him out. Danny quickly blasted Lydia and sucked her into then Fenton Thermos. He looked around and noticed all plants dead and all ghost plants frozen and in pieces thanks to the blast of electricity. Vlad walked into the room and clapped.
"Well done, Daniel. Completely eliminating your enemies, something you must take after me." said Vlad.
That earned him a hit in the chest by an ecto bolt.
"Someone is in a foul mode, you really need anger management." said Vlad,
"And you need a shrink." said Danny.
"I don't suppose you will allow me to have a piece of that antidote?" asked Vlad,
"After I have given it to everyone on Freakshow's list." said Danny,
"Very well, I have a list of all Freakshow's victims here." said Vlad.
He handed a piece of paper to Danny and the ghost boy created a duplicate which grabbed Vlad.
"Just to make sure you don't try anything I suppose you could lead me to these victims?" asked Danny,
"Very well it is the least I can do for saving me from paying that carnival freak." said Vlad.
They flew out of the complex with Odd and Sam watching as they headed back to Danny's house.
A few nights later
Danny fell off the roof and into the street.
Sam's house
In the basement Danny was bandaged and Danielle had a few cuts on her face being treated.
"Can anyone tell us what happened out there?" asked Yumi,
"Danny?" asked Sam.
Ulrich turned and looked at them.
"It started when a blimp was stolen from Amity Airstrip." said Ulrich.
The blimp flew over the now powered still ruined Amity Chemical.
"The perpetrators were all virtual specters and possessed victims. It was like Xana was back in town."
