Chapter 15: Battle Plan
"So a trap?" Lily guessed as she, Kara, Marie, Melissa, Jade, and Nathan (who had returned after hearing it was safe) sat in Lily/Melissa/Jade's living room planning to capture the demon.
"Well it's that or wait for the thing to attack one of us," Kara explained as she put Dracos, her shrunken dragon that had fought the demon the night before, "I was planning on Dracos taking him down but his wing is busted and he's pretty beat up."
"He's adorable!" Melissa screeched picking him up and cuddling him.
"You keep a dragon in your pocket?" Marie asked concerned.
"You'd be surprised at what witches and wizards keep in our pockets," Kara explained, "My brother Zephaniah has a minotaur in his."
Lily stared, "Moving on…."
"Yeah," Marie agreed, "Um, Clockwork mentioned I would be able stop it. I think I can since my powers aren't energy based and I have that upper level."
"She did beat the crap out of Vlad Plasmius," Nathan points out.
"Hey, I have a higher level too," Lily pointed out.
Nathan gave her a look, "Which you accessed once in an alternate time line and only that one time and that was in a fight with Clockwork and Danielle."
Everyone looked from Nathan and Lily before Jade asked for everyone, "Explanation please."
Lily sighed and explained quickly, "Me and Nathan two sets of memories based on the fact that in a different time my dad broke up with my mom before she realized she was pregnant. Then she moved to Connorsville, Alabama, and me, Luke, and Levi were born and grew up and Melissa and Jade were my best friend but you don't remember now. So, we lived there but moved to Amity Park when were sixteen, then we got ghost powers then mom died and I was dating Nathan and then shit went down so I had to steal Clockwork's staff and I went like super phantom and took the staff but it was a trap and Dad, Luke, Levi, and Nathan had to rescue me. So Clockwork ended that time line but Dad, I, Luke, Levi, and Nathan remember it." Lily paused and took a deep breath, "And that's why I have a southern accent."
Every one stared but Nathan smirked, "Anyway, how dp you plan on luring the beast to us, Kara?"
Lily glared at him as Jade patted Lily's back, "There, there, crazy."
"A large mass of energy from me, you, Lily, and Marie ought to draw it here," Kara explained taking Dracos back from Melissa as she tried to feed him a cake, "Don't spoil him."
"What about a mix all four?" Lily asked, "We can put a bit of each in a container as bait."
"You can do that?" Marie asked surprised.
"Yeah," Lily nodded holding her had up to Melissa and Jade as they handed over the ectoblaster and ectosaber they had stolen earlier from Lily.
Lily flipped on the saber as a green beam shot out, "The energy for this is actually taken from me. Same with the blaster. You can tell can the green is green. Luke's are blue and Levi's are violet, changes with the person charging it. Grandma Maddie, Grandpa Jack, Aunt Jazz, and Levi made then to hold our energy and so we wouldn't have to use the Fenton Work's lab all the time."
"Cool," Jade commented looking at the green blade as Lily shut it off.
Lily tossed the saber hilt to Jade as she pulled out a glowing piece of the blaster, "Me and Melissa should be able to reverse engineer this to make a container."
"Her?" Marie asked surprised looking at the rainbow haired girl.
"I'm a genius," Melissa shrugged.
"Seriously?" Nathan added not believing it either.
"My IQ is 210," Melissa laughed evilly as she jumped up dragging Lily off into her room, "Come ghost girl! We build!"
Jade shrugged and looked back at the remaining group, "So Clockwork said Marie could take it down?"
"Clockwork is usually right about this stuff," Nathan explained, "Like that time he sent us into that alternate dimension…."
"I'm superfast in my powered up form," Marie explained proudly, "Plus I can shoot lighting out my eyes and I had this amazing lighting attack."
"Kay, makes sense," Jade guessed.
"Then Lily lures it, you kick the shit out of it, and I send it back where it came from," Kara concluded as she took her glasses off to clean them.
Marie nodded as she caught site of an array of photos by the window. They were of Lily, Luke, Levi, and Nathan. They were with much younger looking version Danny, Sam, and Tucker. Not just them but Valerie, Jazz, Maddie and Jack (the first Jack Fenton!).
There were children littered around in the photos that she had never seen. Two she recognized from the news that must be Stephen and Daphne, Lily's younger siblings.
Marie looked away from the photos not liking them and asked, "Hey, Nathan got we get out for a while. This place smells like vodka."
"Hey!" Jade complained.
Nathan nodded as they went ghost and flew out, "I need to grab from homework anyway."
They flew to Nathan's apartment phasing in.
"Nathaniel, can't you use a door?" a voice commented as they flew in sending a shiver up Nathan's spine.
"Father," Nathan stated in a annoyed voice as his father, Vlad Masters/Vlad Plasmius, sat on his couch.
