Chapter 5: The Upper Hand
Vlad Plasmius had betrayed Sartana of the Dead, which his main goal was to acquire her mystical guitar as a source of being one of the Ghost Zone's newest ultimate weapons. But as he was being surrounded by Sartana's ghostly skeleton army, Vlad decided it was time to turn the tables on her as he began to create various numbers of his clones of himself with the original Vlad holding Sartana's mystical guitar.
"Get my guitar back!" cried Sartana to her ghostly skeleton minions.
"I don't think it would be that easy" said Vlad as he snapped his finger to his clones which signaled them to attack the ghostly skeleton minions.
"Not so fast" said Django who stood right in Vlad's path, "you may have the unique ability of cloning yourself, but I'm still here to stop you from taking my grandmother's mystical guitar."
"You're underestimating me skeleton boy, so here's a tip for you, move aside or I'll make you move aside" said Vlad.
"Too bad that you had to take the hard way out" said Django.
Django then fired his ecto-energy blasts that use to be his hands at Vlad to which Vlad had an easy time dodging the attacks. Along with also propping up a shield around him which deflected the ecto-energy blasts that were coming right directly toward him.
"You call that an attack?" laughed Vlad, "This is an attack!"
Vlad then created a few more clones of himself who then fired their ecto-energy blasts at Django and then raced toward him pummeling him with various punches and kicks even also dismantling his skeleton body and began to "play" with him.
"Hey, stop that!" cried Django which one Vlad clone was using Django's skeleton head as a football.
"Go long!" said one of the Vlad clones who was preparing to through it to one of his comrades.
"And that's my cue to make my exit" laughed the real Vlad as he began to leave the Dead Zone.
"No, my mystical guitar!" cried Sartana as she kneeled down in defeat.
"Now all I have to do is make a visit to a certain Danny Phantom" laughed Vlad as he took off toward his place.
Meanwhile, back in Miracle City, the Riveras were having a tough time fighting Technus who took control of the Puma Loco's mech.
"This is more fun than a barrel of monkeys!" laughed Technus as he began to fire his advance weaponry at Rodolfo and Manny which the Puma Loco was still trying to get himself clean up from being in the dumpster.
"This is too much for us!" cried Manny who was pinned down by some wreckage with Frida.
"Yeah, this new super villain is cooler than the ones you ever faced" said Frida.
"I'm glad someone is complementing me!" laughed Technus as he began to march toward where Manny and Frida were, "Face it children, you are too weak to face the likes of Technus, master of all things electronic!"
"You leave Manny alone!" cried Rodolfo who came into the scene with his boots using its power and managed to knock Technus right against the wall.
"So, you managed to hit me, but I don't think that even left a dent in my armor" said Technus as he quickly recovered from the attack by Rodolfo, "why don't you try something like this on for size?!"
Technus then began to fire various lasers at Rodolfo who then managed to dodge them and leaped right where the Puma Loco was who was also pinned down behind a dumpster which Skulker once used.
"Come on Technus" said Skulker who appeared right with him after becoming visible, "let's get the heck out of here."
"Technus isn't finish with his opponents" said Technus as he loaded a bazooka-like weapon from the mech he was controlling.
"So let's finish the job already then?" asked Skulker.
"Uh, Manny, I think they're going to do just what they say they're going to do" said Frida to Manny.
"Don't you worry, I'll stop them" said Manny.
Manny then immediately leaped right toward Technus who was about to fire the bazooka-like weapon. He slashed his claws against Technus' advance weapon damaging it quite a bit. But before Manny could further make any other attacks against Technus, Technus then grabbed Manny by the throat with one of the mech's claws.
"You have been driving my patience child!" cried Technus, "Perhaps you wish to meet your old friend Sartana yourself!"
"And just how the heck are you going to force me to do that?" asked Manny as he was trying to free himself from Technus' grip.
Suddenly a portal to the Ghost Zone opened up and Technus, Skulker and Manny began to float right up toward it which Rodolfo, the Puma Loco and Frida couldn't believe what was happening.
"Cool! I mean oh no!" cried Frida.
"Quickly, we must stop them!" cried Rodolfo as he raced toward where the three were lifting right up into the Ghost Zone.
As Rodolfo, the Puma Loco and Frida raced toward where Skulker, Technus and Manny were floating up toward the Ghost Zone, Frida was the only one who managed to grab onto the mech's leg that Technus was controlling.
"Get off my leg kid!" cried Technus.
"Not if you release Manny first!" cried Frida.
"Too bad, you're coming with us then!" replied Technus.
"Manny, Frida, no!" cried Rodolfo who was too late to stop them from heading into the Ghost Zone.
"This is incredible, Manny being abducted by ghosts who know the deceased Sartana of the Dead along with Frida" said the Puma Loco.
"We have to find a way to help Manny and Frida" said Rodolfo to which he then turned toward the Puma Loco, "say, do you know of any sort of family that's a ghost hunting type?"
"Hmm, now that you mention it" replied the Puma Loco, "I have read somewhere that there is a family of ghost hunters but they live in the states."
"Then I'm afraid we're going to have to get their help to rescue Manny and Frida, this I swear!" cried Rodolfo.
Meanwhile, back in the Dead Zone, a zone within the Ghost Zone, Sartana was still weeping over her guitar being stolen by Vlad Plasmius when Technus and Skulker who were brought back by Django came into the scene.
"Look who we found" said Technus as he threw Manny and Frida to the ground.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't El Tigre and his friend Frida" said Sartana as she stopped weeping, "so glad that you have decided to drop in."
Sartana then stops crying over her stolen mystical guitar and instead laughs for a semi-victory with the capture of Manny Rivera and his friend Frida.
