Sam's Plan of Action

Chapter 9 – The Battle with Plasmius

Tucker stood with the ecto-blaster press firmly against his shoulder ready to fire the second he saw Vlad's red eyes. As the ghost appeared Tucker was frozen momentarily; not by fear but buy surprise. Standing in front of him were Sam and Danni; both looked just as surprised as he felt.

Sam was the first to speak up. "What are you doing here," Sam asked trying to keep her voice down.

"I am here to rescue you," Tucker stated dryly; due to the fact that he was in a hurry to get out of Vlad's house.

"Well, than where is Danny," Sam asked obviously hopeful.

"Well, he took a different route and is most likely dealing with Vlad," Tucker said seeing the disappointment evident on Sam's face. "Well, let's hope that he has his Fenton Phones on." Tucker reached in to the speeder and grabbed the pair sitting on the dash and d them on his ears. "Hey Danny, are you there?"

No response came from Danny. Tucker took the phones out to make sure that they were on and operational, but still only dead air came over the phones. "Well, I guess that he might not have taken them with him," Tucker said trying to form a smile.

"You know guys, this is a rescue mission maybe we should get Sam out of here before anyone finds us down here," Danni said motioning them towards the speeders open door. As the group entered the Specter Speeder a huge concussion wave ripped through the building causing the ceiling to being to crack. One wave after another ripped its way through Vlad's mansion causing large chunks of the ceiling to fall. As Danni closed the door to the speeder Tucker floored it in to the ghost zone. As Tucker piloted the speeder back towards the Fenton Portal a green energy blast from behind caused the speeder to ram its way through one of the many doors and crash on to a lush green field with a large and imposing castle. Tucker only got a quick look out of the speeder's windshield at the surrounding area before his world faded in to black.

Danny flew straight in to Vlad's house and began a rushed search of the residence. As Danny began to make his way to the second floor a magenta blast caught him in the ribs and he went tumbling in to the wall. "Well, Daniel I see you decided to take you girlfriend back from me with out a fight. Too bad you got caught," Vlad smirked as he began to channel his energy in to his fists.

"Where is Sam," Danny yelled charging straight for Vlad's chest. Vlad easily side stepped the boy causing him to fly right by him and adding a little something to it fired two shots directly in to Danny back. Danny slammed face first in to the ground digging a hole in the process.

"Well, I went to check on Miss Manson; only to find that she was no longer in my custody. No matter Daniel, I have you now and that's all that matters."

Danny slowly and painfully stands up and looks at Plasmius giving him a look that could kill. Danny brushes the dirt off of his clothes and allows his ghostly energy to begin to cover his entire body. "Where is Sam," Danny says with venom evident in his voice.

"Are we angry Daniel? I told you I do not have her anymore. She has either escape or something else has happened to her. But really Daniel, with you here I no longer require Samantha. Now you really only have two choices here. Either agree to join me or give me the DNA sample that I require. Now which is it going to be," Vlad said in his normal oily voice.

Danny smiled and began to form two glowing green balls in his hands. "I'll take choice number three," Danny said throwing both balls straight for Vlad.

Vlad placed a shield between him and the blasts and awaited their impact. Once the shield had accomplished its job, Vlad dropped the shield to face Daniel. To Vlad's surprise Danny was not standing in from of him or even anywhere with in sight. Vlad turned around to search behind him only to be confronted with a massive energy blast. By the time that Vlad realized what was in front of him it was too late. The blast connected straight with his chest. The concussion from the blast caused Vlad to rocket in to the side of his mansion causing the entire house to shake.

Danny floated just above the ground impressed with him self for getting that hit off. Seizing the moment as Sam always said Danny formed another attacked between his folded hands focusing all of his energy he could in to the smallest possible space. Just as Vlad was standing back up Danny unleashed his second attack point blank in to Vlad's chest. Vlad shot straight through the rest of the mansion causing parts of the building to crumble. Danny looked at the house and had a horrifying thought, "What if Sam was still in their?" Danny quickly flew in to the remaining part of the house franticly shouting Sam's name and flying in between collapsed pieces of wall and roof.

Vlad slowly stood up after the double attack. Vlad was impressed with Danny's ability to get the jump on him. "Well, maybe I should make him my apprentice instead of trying to clone him," Vlad thought o him self as he brushed off his slightly charred skin. Going invisible Vlad floated up to get a better look at the surrounding area before Danny attempted another attack. Looking down at the house he could se Danny franticly searching the house for Samantha he thought most likely. Deciding that this was a perfect opportunity to capture Danny Vlad unleashed a barrage of energy blasts straight for Danny's floating figure.

Danny had searched every part of the house both standing and collapsed and found no trace of Sam. Relieved that he had not hurt her he turned his head toward the sky just in time to see a hail storm of energy headed straight for him. Reacting out of pure instinct Danny in haled a deep breath and unleashed his ghostly wail. The impact from the wail caused the projectiles to reverse direction and fly straight back in to Vlad's smirking face.

Vlad erected a shield but only managed to stop about half of the projectiles. The impacted caused Vlad to fall back towards the ground where Danny was waiting with another ghostly wail. Just as Vlad reached eye level Danny released his second ghostly wail causing Vlad to screech in pain and collapse unconscious on the ground. Danny could barely keep him self standing after that double attack. He had gotten stronger from practicing in the ghost zone where no one could be hurt but still two in that short of a time period completely worn him out.

The battle completed Danny wondered what could have happened to Sam. If she escaped then she should have heard to fight, but what if she had been hurt. Danny could feel the fear growing in his stomach when the thought suddenly occurred to him. What if Tucker had managed to get her out from Vlad's grasp just prior to him arrival? He had been delayed by the jerks in white so Tucker may have beaten him to Vlad's and found a way to get her out safely.

Getting excited he wondered if Vlad's portal was still operational or would he have to fly all of the way back to Amity Park. Using the last reminisce of his strength Danny flew down to the basement and to his good fortune the portal was active and showed that a human world object had passed through the portal. Flying in Danny didn't see anything ten the thought stuck him. Reaching in to the pockets of his haze mat suit Danny retrieved the Fenton Phones. Placing them on his ears Danny called out to Tucker. After a few minutes of flying around and no response from Tucker; Danny decided to use the tracer that had been implanted in the speeder so that Danny could locate it. Digging around he came up with it and switched it on. To Danny surprise the signal was coming from less than 2 Kilometers away. Heading in the direction of the bleep Danny flew full speed towards the speeder.

Danny arrived in front of a purple door that looked like it had been run through recently. Cautiously, Danny entered the door way hoping that he would not have to fight anytime soon. Danny quickly located the speeder; downed and with obvious damage from an attack. Danny flew over and noticed that the hatch was already opened. Peering inside and hoping to find his friends in good health; Danny was disappointed to find that no one was in there.

Danny looked around and could see to lines leading towards that castle off in the distance. Danny took off following the lines at full speed. Danny arrived at the castle and phased through the door only to be greeted by a ghost that was wearing what looked like a medieval outfit. "Where are my friends," Danny barked at the man floating in front of him.

"Your friends are fine and are currently enjoying our hospitality," the ghost informed him. "If you would like I could take you to them," the ghost asked giving a slight bow.

"Yes right away," Danny answered in a hurry.

"Very well, sir."

Danny followed the ghost in to what appeared to be a large banquet room. Danny was then greeted by a familiar looking ghost a young woman wearing a blue dress. Danny could see Tucker and Danni sitting slumped in chairs near the table. "Oh Daniel, how are you? I found your friends in that thing out there and I though that I would bring them in and make them comfortable," she said smiling at him.

Danny looked franticly around trying to find Sam. When he didn't find her he looked back at the ghost; only to find a saddened look on her face. "Where is Sam," Danny demanded.

"I am afraid that she was taken by another. His power was too great and were where unable to save her," the ghost replied hanging her head.

"Well, what did he look like," Danny asked wondering if Vlad had managed to get to her again.

"Well, he wore an outfit must like yours and had flaming white hair and vicious red eyes," she answered.

Danny's eye's widened in horror and the realization of who took Sam set in.
