Vlad Plasmius/Masters
I was on my way to an important city meeting when I met up with Daniel. The offer was too good to pass up- I had to exchange greetings. Unfortunately, this meeting made me late for my other meeting, so after we parted ways I flew home at top speed, phased into the house and changed back in my bedroom. After priming myself to perfection, I walked briskly out the door and into my limos backseat.
"Driver, City hall. And be quick."
The limo sped away breaking quite a few speed limits as I made it to City hall with still a few minutes to spare. I got out and went inside and up to the meeting room, networking along the way. "Good afternoon Miss Hill, and how is your father? Hello Bradley, I trust your daughter, Ellen, is well. Oh my, Beverly, you look very well today."
I got to the meeting room and opened the door. Not surprisingly, I was almost the last one there. The other chairs were filled with chairmen, except two, and I sat at the one at head.
30 seconds later the poor excuse for a human, Derrick Peterson, ran in. "So sorry, Mayor Masters." He sat down.
I glared at him. The thing I hated most was Jack Fenton, and my second most hatred was lateness. "Don't let it happen again."
I stood up. "Now that all of you are here, we must discuss some changes that should be made. First on our agenda, our ghost problem, Danny Phantom."
"Danny Phantom," said a young and petite woman in a grey business suit. She was the new information gatherer, as I like to call her. "A flying ghost boy. Previously know as Inviso-Bill. He is considered a hero to the town-"
I pounded my fist on the table. "He is a menace! He must be destroyed."
Everybody looked at me in fright and disbelief. Someone coughed. I calmed down.
"Don't you remember all of the bad things he has done? He has destroyed property, and stolen items."
They still didn't look convinced. Derrick even had the nerve to speak up. "Danny Phantom is a hero to our town. He didn't do those things on purpose, I could never believe that."
Everybody got very quiet again, and I lowered my voice to a whisper. "Danny Phantom is not a hero. He is a ghost." Everybody looked petrified, so I took a deep breath and pretended to look exasperated. I sighed. "Don't you guys get it? Have you ever wondered how the ghosts are coming here? Danny Phantom is letting them all into the human world. They don't just wander in- he brings them here."
"But why," someone asked.
"He thrives on attention. The more ghosts he destroys, the more the people of Amity Park think he's a hero. He wants to be considered as a hero, even if it means putting your own safety at stake, and that of your family." I sat down. "I want to protect this town and the people in it, therefore we must do something about him."
The gullible idiots took in every word I said. "But how does he let them in?" the same person asked.
I pretended to think for a moment. "The Fenton Ghost Portal, that must be it." They looked at me strangely, so I had to explain. "The Fentons have a ghost portal in their basement. It leads to an alternate dimension, a mirror world to ours, which contains all of the ghosts. I have thought of just destroying the world, but I was once a scientist in my younger years, and if we destroy their world we would doom our own."
A large man stepped in. "So, we stop their way of coming in? We shut down the ghost portal?"
"Yes," I said, "but what if Phantom finds another way to let them in?" They all understood what I was getting at, so I said it. "We not only shut down the portal, but also get rid of Danny Phantom. Oh, and Derrick?"
"Yes, Mayor Masters?"
"I never want to see you here again. Now GET OUT!" He ran out of the room. "Now, how should we destroy Danny Phantom?"
