Chapter 2: The invasion begins

It was another ordinary day at the Fentons. Danny however was getting ready to go out on ghost patrol.

"Dad are you coming. I'm ready to go out" Danny asked?

"No son not today. Your mother and I are working on an important experiment".

Danny sighed. It was difficult getting people to do ghost patrol with him these days. Tucker had his duties as mayor while he was mostly afraid to take Sam with him fearing she might be used as bait. Jazz was in college. Danny had stayed with his parents in order to help them as well as protect Amity Park.

"Hey Danny I'll go with you today" came a familiar voice.

Danny looked up. Standing in front of him was his ghost cousin Danielle. Danny decided not to ask questions. He knew that Danielle had the habit of showing up at the weirdest times. Just at that moment Maddie came in on them.

"Ah Danielle it's good to see you again".

Jack and Maddie had found out about Danielle shortly after they learned of Danny's ghost powers. Even though she was not blood related to the Fentons they still treated her like family.

"All right then let's go. We've got ghost butt to kick" said Danny.

Most of ghost patrol seemed to be quite a nuisance. Danny and Danielle had so far run into the Box Ghost who would not stop saying "BEWARE MY CARDBOARD VENGEANCE" and Klemper who kept following them asking Danielle to be his friend. Danielle eventually got fed up and blasted him.

"Shouldn't have done that. He's really sensitive you know" said Danny.

"True but he was just annoying and a bit creepy" Danielle said.

The two were about to head back home when they were hit by a giant blast of energy.

"What was that" asked Danny as he rose to his feet?

"I don't know but it can't be good" said Danielle.

"How right you are" said the ghost.

The two looked up. Standing in front of them was none other than Vlad Plasmius himself.

"Plasmius what are you doing here. You know you're not welcome here anymore. All ghosts and humans hate you".

"You think I care Daniel? As of now no human let alone ghost can defeat me".

"We'll see about that. Ready Danielle"?

"Way ahead of ya cuz" she said.

Both fired a combined ectoplasmic energy blast however Vlad simply punched right through it. Danny fired multiple energy disks while Danielle took him on physically. However Vlad shrugged off their assaults.

"Whoa he's powerful. I wasn't gonna do this Plasmius but you've left me no choice" said Danny

Danny let out his ghost screech that echoed all over amity park. Most citizens knew about it so everyone including Danielle covered their ears. Vlad however wiped out the screech with a simple swing of his arms. Danny fell to his knees. He was running down on energy

"Your powers have improved children. However i'm always one step ahead of you two".

Vlad formed a ball of ectoplasmic energy and fired it at the Phantoms. The blast was so powerful it knocked them unconscious causing the two to revert back into their human forms.

"Excellent. Now for Phase two" Vlad said.

Vlad called up his vultures who appeared two minutes later.

"Follow me and take those two with you" he said gesturing to Danny and Danielle.

"Yes sir" the vultures said.

"Next stop the ghost zone" said Vlad maliciously.
