Part two of Final Story Arc:
Out of the Flames and into the Inferno
Gasworks
The Lyoko Gang dodged several laser blasts as Tarantulas blocked the way leading to the shut off valve. Vlad also deployed a special ghost security system which stopped Danny and Danielle from going intangible and reaching the valve. Ulrich blocked the heavy barrage of lasers as Yumi, Odd, and Aelita fired back at the Tarantulas. Danny along with his little cousin quickly fired ecto bolts but soon enough more monsters arrived to fight.
Kankrelats positioned themselves in front of the Tarantulas and the first wave fired as the second wave charged their lasers. Danny quickly fired ice rays and froze the monsters and they quickly ran through the hall. Every corner another group of monsters appeared and fired. Danny and Dani worked together by creating an ecto shield which blocked the lasers and allowed Odd, Yumi, and Aelita to fire back at the monsters.
The monsters soon realized that their lasers were not enough and pulled back but not for long. A Megatank rolled into the hall. It stood between them and ladder leading up to the emergency shut off valve. It opened up its shell to reveal its glowing yellow eye already glaring at them.
"I got a bad feeling about this." said Ulrich,
"Why? It's just a Megatank." said Odd.
The monster fired it elliptical energy wave in retaliation for that insult and it collided with the ecto shield. Suddenly Danny and Danielle found themselves straining to keep the shield against the brute force of a single monster. The massive laser hit expanded and hit the ceiling causing several pieces of rubble to fall because of the struggle of power.
"You see, Vlad? Just as I predicted."
The teenaged young man who held one of the most dark and dangerous beings to exist yet watched through a hologram showing the struggle that took place in the complex. His dead black pulsed with the red eye logo of the evil within as he enjoyed the scene from the quiet friendly atmosphere of the peaceful city that stabbed at the being's dark heart if the being actually had one. The figure beside him smirked at the growing struggle. His mouth opened to reveal sharp pointed teeth that released a hypnotizing glow into the night.
His red eyes glowed with gleam at the struggle as he crossed his arms. His face was pale but was drawn into the look of superiority with a small thin beard. His hair was black with pale white high lights and curved into a V formation. He wore a whitish purple tux with black belt at the waist and whitish purple pants. His hands were covered in black gloves with the same pale light as his hair and black boots and a cape over him that was purple with a red interior.
The man's entire presence was akin to that of a vampire.
"While they relaxed not aware of the true nature of our plan it was easy to evolve my monster beyond their former levels thanks to your ghost technology. Now we have the advantage in power and in numbers." explained Xana in a calm and cool voice.
"It will be even better to retrieve my prodigal daughter when they fall. She may have been stabilized but she managed to last longer than all the other clones but the question is how she survived and why did she not melt?" asked Vlad Plasmius.
Xana cast a small glance at Vlad.
"You still want to know why she survived. She is obsolete like you said so it would be better to destroy her now before she becomes an even bigger annoyance." said Xana.
Vlad waved off Xana's comment.
"She will be once I have melted her down and studied her remains for a better clone. It is quiet simple, Xana. Amity Park is destroyed and the blame is directed at Daniel while I as the good natured mayor rebuild it and declare an all out war on Danny Phantom. And you will have achieved all the technology you need." said Vlad,
"Which is almost useless to me now since my goal is near." said Xana.
Vlad now looked at Xana questionably.
"When this is over it will much easier to take control of this world. The humans will need someone to lead out of the ghost menace that plagues them. They will no doubt look to you for protection, Vlad, since you have the GIW on your payroll. I assume you plan to increase your rule." said Xana.
Vlad's smile grew.
"This world is constantly full of both signs of evil and yet is full peace. It is basically a normal moving world with normal people but I believe that they need someone powerful to lead them out of the darkness of their paranoid fears and into the light they need to embrace before they realize that only those who are truly powerful are destined to rule them." said Vlad.
Xana closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Vlad threw a disdainful glare knowing that his speech did not inspire but more or less annoy the demonic AI. He noticed Xana narrow his eyes in disappointment and then sigh. He despised the way Xana ran things especially since he had to obey the AI's orders when Xana was a lesser being then himself.
However he recognized the great power residing within the virtual demon and he had all the plans drawn up.
"Don't assume victory when your enemy is still alive." warned Xana in a dark tone.
Vlad's glare disappeared he threw his head back and his body was shaken with amused laughter.
"Your concern is hardly necessary since Daniel will never reach it." said Vlad.
The Megatank unleashed another energy wave as it was intent on demolishing the ecto shield and the fighters it protected. Odd stepped up behind Danny and held his arm out.
"Danny, I need the shield open for a second." said Odd,
"Are you nuts? There's no way your arrow will the hit the eye in time." said Danny.
Odd smiled in a mischievous way.
"Who said I was targeting the Megatank?" asked Odd.
Danny looked at Odd and sighed as he dropped the shield for a second and Odd took the chance and jumped out. The Megatank shifted its gaze as Odd jumped from wall to wall in the narrow hallway they were in. Its eye glowed yellow as it attempted to target the feline warrior but Odd held out his arm.
"Laser Arrow!" shouted Odd.
However the arrow did not head for the eye. Instead it hit the ceiling and the debris fell over the Megatank. It quickly fired to eliminate the debris that was obscuring its vision when a yellow light flashed.
"Laser Claw!" shouted Odd.
His claws dug into the eye of the monster and leapt back as the creature exploded. Danny and Danielle dropped the shield as they and the Lyoko Warriors ran up to Odd.
"I told I got it." said Odd,
"Yeah we get it, hero." said Ulrich, deadpanned.
They climbed up the ladder and noticed several control consoles and a set of three wheels on the wall just like in the basement. Ulrich quickly grabbed as did Odd and Danny and they turned the wheels until their red parts matched the red on the wall. They noticed the pipes on the wall reconnect to the ones they were before which closed the water valve.
"This is perfect. With the flow of gas stopped the only shipment of gas left are the ones Xana and Vlad stored on the blimp." said Aelita.
"They stopped the flow!"
Vlad growled and struggled to hold back the rage that threatened to erupt. Xana threw an icy glance up to the blimp and then looked down to see the Lyoko Warriors and the Phantoms come out. Xana closed his eyes and looked away deeply annoyed. The two villains stared malevolently at the group.
Vlad's lip quivered in rage while Xana stared down at the group with his lips curled slightly in a sneer.
"Vlad, take out these insects. I will take care of Amity Park myself. Super Shadow!" said Xana.
With that William's body faded into the black gas substance of Xana's specter and flew into the blimp.
"Xana's getting away!" said Odd,
"If we don't hurry then he will finish off Amity Park." said Ulrich.
"Sorry me dear boy but you won't be going after him." said Vlad.
He floated into the air with his arms crossed as he looked down. Danny and Dani Phantom quickly took a defense stance as Vlad uncrossed his arms. With a snap of his fingers the giant monster Xana created to stop them before appeared.
"Crush the Lyoko Children!" shouted Vlad.
With the monster unleashed tentacle Creepers at them firing lasers. Yumi quickly jumped into the air and threw her fans and sliced through the Creepers. Ulrich ran at full speed and used his triplicate to attack. Odd and Aelita fired their weapons but the monster was too big to be destroyed by such simple attacks.
Danny and Dani quickly flew to attack but Vlad pointed his hand at the Phantoms. The hand glowed pink and shot a pink beam out towards Danny. Dani noticed it and reacted by shoving Danny out of the way and taking the hit.
"Danielle!"
The girl's body glowed pink and was frozen in the same position she was in when she took Vlad's attack. She felt like Vlad was holding her by the neck.
"Let her go!" shouted Danny.
Danny quickly fired an ice beam at Vlad and the vampire ghost dodged which sent Danielle flying across the roof, releasing her from Vlad's hold.
"Compassion is always a hero's weakness, Daniel." said Vlad, mockingly.
Danny growled and flew at Plasmius who held his hand to fire another pink ecto blast. However Danny did something he did not expect. He duplicated himself and fired several ice beams. Vlad dodged them but he gasped seeing his hand was frozen.
That distraction was all Danny needed.
POW!
Vlad was sent flying back by the punch to the chin. He looked to see Danny and his copies fly at him and smirked. As Danny and his copies fired their ecto bolts Vlad reacted by spinning like a tornado which caused huge wind gusts and deflected Danny's attacks. Plasmius then duplicated himself like Danny and fired a barrage of ecto bolts.
Danny and his duplicates quickly created an ecto shield to block the attacks but then Vlad released lasers from his eyes that melted through the shield like ice and hit Danny on the shoulder. He gasped and covered the wound as the shield dropped and Vlad flew at him. Seemingly out of nowhere a fireball hit Vlad's side. He staggered and lost his chance to attack Danny grabbed his wrist and punched him in the face.
He looked to see Danielle standing up with an angry look on her face. Vlad stared with surprise for a moment and then laughed.
"Is this the best you can do?"
"Not on you life, fruit loop." said Danielle.
"Well, then let's see you try again." said Vlad.
His hand glowed with ectoplasmic energy and shaped it into a sword. Danny and Dani did the same thing with their powers and charged. Vlad tried to swipe them but Danny ducked underneath and Dani tried to counter attack. Vlad held out his other hand and fired an ecto bolt which sent Dani flying back.
Danny quickly punched Vlad in the face and sent him to the ground. Vlad stood up and rubbed his face.
"Not bad but it will take more then that to defeat me!"
Vlad flew at Danny and pulled the boy's stomach into his knee and sent him flying back. Vlad was about to bring his sword down but Dani appeared and blocked the attack before kicking him in the stomach. Vlad flew back up and fired an ecto bolt but Danny blocked and Dani fired right back at him. Vlad blocked it but they both flew at him and knocked him down with two hard kicks.
"Now I am annoyed!" shouted Vlad,
"Go see a shrink." said Dani.
"I hear they offer dating services." said Danny.
Vlad growled and flew up into the air. He held his hand above his head and a pink ball of ectoplasmic energy appeared and started to grow.
"This is my most powerful attack and not even you two can stop it."
Danny and Dani stood their grounds.
"Ready, cuz?" asked Dani,
"You got it, cuz." said Danny, smiling.
They both rolled their heads back and took deep breaths. Vlad cackled and unleashed his attack when it was the size of the Fenton's Op Centre. However Danny and Dani opened their mouths and unleashed a wave of shockwaves that sounded like a wail. Vlad's attack collided with the double powered Ghostly Wail and suddenly flew back towards Vlad.
The billionaire ghost gasped and his eyes went wide before the ectoplasmic powered ball and the double powered Ghostly Wail hit him head on. The force of the attack sent him flying high into the sky he vanished. Danny and Dani ceased their attacks and fell to their knees. Vlad seemed to vanish into the sky.
High above the clouds in the blimp Xana looked to see the clouds open up as pink ecto ball flew up with a figure in it. His eyes slightly widened when he saw it was Vlad being thrown up sky. Xana shook his head. It did not matter now.
The blimp was on a crash course towards City Hall. When it crashes the gas inside would explode and Amity Park's destruction would light up the skies.
