Episode 3: Reign Storm
In the not-too-distant future
In the Park of Amity
Dr. Forrester and Plasmius
Were hatching an Evil Scheme.
They kidnapped a boy by the name of Dan,
A half-ghost regular joe they couldn't stand
They needed another good test case,
So they conked him on the noggin
And they shot him into space. (Get me down!)
We'll send him DP eps and fics,
Any that we can find (la-la-la).
He'll have to sit and watch them all,
And we'll monitor his mind (la-la-la).
Now keep in mind Danny can't control
Where the eps begin or end (la-la-la)
He'll try to keep his sanity
With the help of his various friends.
Subject Roll Call:
Danny! (Goin' Ghost!)
Ron! (I'm supposed to be the AUTHOR!)
Tom Servo! (h'lo there!)
Croooow! (That's one "o"!)
Sam talking: Why don't I get a mention?
If you're wondering how he eats and breathes
and other science facts (la la la),
Just repeat to yourself, "It's just a show,
I should really just relax
For Mystery Danny Theater 3000!"
"Hello, Daniel," Vlad said over the video feed, "Dr. Forrester and I've got an EXTRA long experiment for you today." "Please be TUE," Ron said repeatedly under his breath. "REIGN STORM!" Vlad said. "Oh, great, a Danny and Valerie bonanza," Ron said. "Oh? You don't LIKE the idea of Danny and Valerie together? I'll make a note of it…" Vlad began, then turned to look offscreen, "DR. FORRESTER! Start looking for Flirting with Disaster! I think I might want to use it next!" They all filed into the theater.
Prologue
Fade in to a squinting red eye with a dark pupil. The eye opens. Pan to the Ghost Zone. The eye belongs to a black bird, which calls as it is flying. It flies around a flight of stairs and goes over to a murder of the birds in a tree. It lands on the tree and calls-
Tom: the hit a foul ball.
. Close up of the bird. It calls again.
Pan down. Plasmius is standing by a box with a purple cushion inside. Cut to the back of his head. He turns around, an evil grin on his face. Cut to a view of the tree the birds are in, with Plasmius and the box. Plasmius flies away, satisfied.
Cut to an overhead view of Pariah's Keep. Plasmius flies into view and flies into the castle. Cut to the inside. He flies through a hall full of skeletal guards and depressed-looking portraits of a guy who looks like George Washington. He opens a door at the end of the hall, leading into a room with a sarcophagus with an odd green light shining on it. He flies towards it. Cut to his face.
Plasmius: Here we are.
Crow: (PLASMIUS) The embarrassing photos of Jack from the Christmas party! (evil laughter)
He stops at the foot of some stairs. A skeleton holding a pumpkin with a sword sticking out of it is in the background. Pan up the stairs to the sarcophagus as Plasmius says this next line.
Plasmius: Pariah's Keep.
Cut to the skeleton holding a pumpkin with a sword sticking out of it.
Plasmius: Home of the-
Ron: (imitating Kel Mitchell) Good Burger, may I take your order?
Fright Knight-
Cut to Plasmius looking up at a sphere a skeleton is holding. In the middle of the sphere is a ring- the Ring of Rage.
Plasmius: And before that-
Plasmius holds up the Skeleton Key. He sticks it into a skeleton's nose, which is key-shaped (haha) and turns it. The sphere around the Ring dissolves, leaving a liquid residue on the skeleton's hands and dropping the Ring into Plasmius' hand.
Plasmius: The Ghost King. And here I am, Vlad Plasmius-
He puts the Ring on.
Plasmius: With all his power in the-
Crow: (PLASMIUS) seat of my pants!
palm of my hand.
He flies up dramatically, beginning to laugh. The ring, however, merely sputters and emits smoke. Plasmius, surprised, looks at the ring, and then looks away, frowning. Cut to the sarcophagus. Fast pan to the crown at the top of the sarcophagus.
Plasmius: Ah, of course. The Ring of Rage only works when one wears the Crown of Fire.
He flies up to the sarcophagus and sticks the key into a triangle in its chest. Cut to one of those birds, which caws. Plasmius turns the key. The sarcophagus' eyes glow red. The birds fly out of the tree, and the coffin opens, revealing Pariah Dark, the Ghost King.
Plasmius: Separately, they're nothing, but together-
Pariah's uneyepatched eye opens.
Plasmius: They give you power unimaginable.
Pariah stomps out of the coffin. Vlad looks at him, mortified. Pan up from Pariah's feet to his face. He is a huge, Scottish, maybe Viking-like ghost, with only one eye, horns, one of which is broken, a beard thing, and LOTS of hair. He wears a flaming crown- the Crown of Fire, obviously.
Ghost King (Pariah): (slow and dramatic) Who dares?
Plasmius: (uncertainly) Uh, hello. Plasmius, Vlad Plasmius, did I mention I'm a huge fan of your work?
Ron: (PLASMIUS) Nope, no grave robber here, no way, no how!
He smiles uncertainly. Pariah's eye narrows.
Cut to the outside. An explosion rocks the castle, throwing Plasmius out. Cut back to the inside. Pariah pulls the sword out of the purple pumpkin. The pumpkin flies into the air and explodes, revealing the Fright Knight.
Fright Knight: The Fright Knight lives!
Pariah throws the sword at Fright Knight.
Ghost King: To serve me.
The Knight looks quite surprised. He bows at the sight of the King.
Fright Knight: King Pariah! You're up!
Ghost King: And perhaps it's time to remind you-and that intruder- who RULES this place!
Cut to the outside. Plasmius is there, looking very beaten.
Plasmius: I've got to get out of here before he-
Tom: (PLASMIUS) takes away the photos of Jack!
Pariah flies out of the castle, looming over Plasmius.
Plasmius: Finds me!
Pariah grabs Plasmius.
Ghost King: You have freed me from my sarcophagus, and thus woken me-
Danny: (GHOST KING) Can't an old man get some shuteye around here? from the forever sleep.
He brings Plasmius up to his face. He sees that he is not wearing the Ring of Rage.
Ghost King: You're not the one who woke me! YOU ARE A DUPLICATE!
The duplicate Plasmius disappears in a wisp of pink smoke.
Ghost King: So, where…
Pariah suddenly gets a surprised look on his face, then grimaces. Cut to the real Plasmius, who is currently back in the Keep, chatting up the Fright Knight.
Plasmius: But surely, you and I could work out some sort of deal.
Knight: A deal? (His eyes narrow.)
Both are suddenly hit by a blast of red ectoplasm. Plasmius flies away from the fray.
Plasmius: Call me. (He does a half salute) We'll talk.
He flies out of the castle, past Pariah. Pariah fires a blast at him, which hits him full force. He is thrown back, smoking, and detransforms back into his human form.
Cut to the Fenton Portal, open for no reason. Nearby, Jack and Maddie are working on the Fenton Pants. Jack plugs a plug into it, smiles, and presses a button. Charges from the plug enter the suit, causing it to glow and stomp.
Jack: Sweet! The Fenton Pants are charged and operational! I'm telling you, Maddie, one this ectoskeleton is finished it will be able to beat back any ghost, no matter how powerful!
Maddie bends over the Fenton Pants.
Crow: So they're finally gonna put pants on?
Danny: CROW!
Maddie: Yeah, but the interface is still glitchy and dangerous, Jack.
The Portal is now visible in the background.
Maddie: We need to work the bugs out before-
Suddenly, a beat-up Vlad flies out of the Portal and crashes to the floor, Ring in hand. His hand closes on the ring. Jack and Maddie look at him, horrified.
Maddie: Vlad Masters? (He is reflected in her eye-lenses.)
Cut to Vlad. He holds his hand up to Jack.
Vlad: Jack, my fat old friend-
Close up of his face.
Vlad: Help me.
He faints. Jack looks at him, terrified. Fade out.
