A/N: Yo, guys. I'm here with a new chapter for ya'll. Damn, it's hot out, you know? Okay, guys, since somebody decided to put up a new vote, and I want to see who actually wins, I'm going to give two more chapters before closing the vote. Oh, by the way, Fright Knight still works for Vlad in this story. Now, to get onto the chapter.

Chapter Six: Rescue Plan

Danny came around the corner to see the hall riddled with bullets. He'd been on the other side of the school taking care of the Box Ghost when he heard gunshots. After taking care of that problem, he raced to the source, and this is where it is.

"What took you so long!?" Danny was suddenly sucker punched by Johnny 13, whom wore a pissed off expression.

"What was that for!?" Asked Danny, wiping some ecto juice from his mouth.

"Why weren't you here!?" Shouted Kitty, tears in her eyes.

"I was taking care of the Box Ghost." Answered the ghost boy. "Why? What happened?"

"They took William." Answered Ember, trying not to let the worry show through in her voice.

"Wait, who took William?" Asked Danny. Penelope, the only one who was truly still composed answered.

"We do not know who they are, but they were well armed, and wanted William." Said the ghostly psychiatrist. "They were willing to sacrifice humans to get his too, which is why he left willingly." Spectra pointed to Kwan and Dash, whom were now untied, thanks to Johnny.

"Okay." Said Danny. "Tell me everything that happened."

WITH WILLIAM: HOURS LATER

The van had pulled up outside a large mansion. The Lost Scorpions pulled William out of the van, forcefully, even though he was going willingly.

"Get your hands off me." Said William, glaring at Trunk. His shirt and coat were removed, and the wraps were torn from his torso, whip scars and cuts covering his ecto-flesh.

"Don't be a bitch." Said Trunk, shoving William forward. Tail-Snap stood on the other side of William, glaring at Trunk.

"Leave my play toy alone, Trunk." Said the woman, folding her arms. "I'm not finished with him yet. He still hasn't screamed."

"You had the pretty one for the car ride." Said Left Pincer.

"Yeah, it's the Pincer's turn!" Said Right Pincer.

"No, you can have him after I make him scream, and only then." Said Tail-Snap. She'd been whipping this guy for hours, she had to move to the front because she ran out of room on his back, and he still hadn't screamed. Tail-Snap grinned at how resilient he was. She could literally go at it for hours, and he wouldn't make a sound. So much FUN!

"Okay, come on." Said Stinger. "Let's get in there and get paid already."

The inside of the mansion was just as large as it appeared, with high ceilings and enormous windows. Standing at the top of the stairs was a guy with a white pony tail and a goatee.

"Ah, you have returned!" Said the man, grinning viciously. "Now that you brought me my prize, your reward." Suddenly, doors in the large room opened, to allow other bounty hunters to file in, all pointing guns at the group.

"What is this, Masters!?" Shouted Stinger. "We had a deal!"

"Yes, well, you see I lied." Said Vlad. "I never planned on paying you. These men are already on my pay roll, and they're much cheaper then you are."

"Bull shit!" Shouted Trunk, taking aim with his chain gun and firing at Vlad. The bullets should have turned the man to Swiss cheese, but Vlad suddenly disappeared, the bullets passing harmlessly into the wall. Reappearing, Vlad was now in his ghost form, grinning again.

"You didn't actually think that would work, did you?" Asked Vlad. "Kill them all, and bring the ghost to me." Vlad said to his employees. The mercenaries nodded, and took aim at the group, preparing to fire.

"Unlock these cuffs!" Said William, hurriedly. "I can put up a shield to protect us!"

"And why should I trust you?" Asked Stinger.

"You don't have a choice." Answered William. Stinger sighed, but reached for his keys. The air was suddenly filled with the sound of gunfire tearing through the air. When the smoke cleared, there was an orange force field protecting the group, and a pissed off William glaring at a slightly annoyed Vlad.

"Thanks." Said Stinger, awkwardly. "Now, we can repay the favor." William put down the field, and Stinger pulled his sword out of his cane.

"Finally! Now I can shoot at things that aren't dead yet!" Yelled Trunk happily, opening up a can of whoop ass on the other mercenaries. The Pincers grinned and went to town, slaughtering, while Tail-Snap whipped, and Stinger slashed. William flew up at Vlad, and they went right through the wall, without going intangible. Vlad kicked William from him, glaring.

"Do you know how much it's going to cost to put in a new wall?" Asked the ghostly villain.

"Do you realize how hard I'm going to kick your ass for having me kidnaped?" Retorted William.

"Now, we can settle this like gentlemen, yes?" Asked Vlad, not wanting the rest of his house to get destroyed.

"You lost that chance when you hired a bunch of homicidal lunatics to threaten my friends."

"Yes, I suppose that the mercenaries were a bit of an overkill." Said Vlad.

"You think?" Asked William, throwing a fireball at the vamperic ghost. Vlad smacked the fire away and shot a ghost ray at William, whom put up one of his force fields to protect himself from the blast. Vlad grinned at this.

"Ah! That's what I wanted to see!" Said Vlad happily. "Those flames of yours, and that shield! Even my ecto shields aren't that powerful!" Vlad was overjoyed. This is what he wanted. The chance to isolate and recreate these odd powers that this young ghost seems to be the sole wielder of. Vlad quickly hit a button on his wrist, and it gave out a loud, almost squeal like sound, causing William to cover his ears. Not seconds later, he was suddenly sucker punched up under the jaw, landing him on his ass.

"It's about time you called, Plasmius." Said a feminine, yet powerful voice. Looking up, William was met with the sight few men could resist. The woman was tall, with lng purplr, flame like hair, black armer with silver spaulders, gloves, boots, and a large belt around her shapely eaist and flat stomach. She had curves in all the right places, and muscle tone that could make your head spin. The only problem was that William couldn't see her face through the thick shadows given off by her grey helmet.

"Ah, Fright Knight. How are you this evening, my dear?" Asked Plasmius, smiling that creepy smile of his.

"Save your charm for someone that is not annoyed by it, Plasmius." Fright Night looked down at William, drawing her ecto green sword.

"Have fun, you two." Said Plasmius. "And remember, I only need a piece of him. Do with the rest what you will." The Villainous ghost made his way out of the room via an elevator that goes God knows where.

"How gracious of you." Said Fright Knight, her eyes narrowing on William, whom stood back on his feet.

"Can we talk about this?" Asked William, watching as the murderous Knight stalked towards him, her flame like cape swaying behind him slightly. It wasn't that he feared her, nor was he intimidated by her. He just didn't like fighting women. The time he's from, chivalry was all the rage, so he was hesitant to even say no to a woman.

"Do not fear, I shall make your demise swift." Said the female ghost. She lunged at William, attempting to decapitate him with her green sword. William ducked under the lethal attack, jumping back and throwing a couple fireballs at Fright Knight, while said Knight blocked and slashed the flaming projectiles with her blade. Unfortunately, one made its way through and burst right in the ghost woman's face, completely pissing her off. Fright Knight glared at William.

"Woah, that's a scary look." Said William, sweating slightly as he backed away from the pissed ghost. She ran at William, and kicked him fully in the chest, knocking him back a bit. She raised her blade to finish it, and William, on instinct, brought his hands up as if he were holding a sword to block her downward strike. There was a flash of orange light, and Fright Knight's green blade was met with William's own orange version.

"Incredible." Said Fright Knight. "Not only can you create shields with your ghostly Aura, but you can mold it into other weapons as well." Fright Knight took another swing at William, and he blocked it, kneeing her in the gut. They fell into a rhythm, slashing and lunging at each other. Fright Knight had to admit, she's never had this much fun in her entire afterlife. Suddenly, there was a large explosion, and someone cursing.

"Damn it, Trunk!" Shouted Stinger from the other room. "I told you to make a hole so we can escape, not blow up the entire fucking building!" Fright Knight sweat dropped at this, and was suddenly kicked in the side, sending her into the wall.

'Damn it, I dropped my guard.' Thought the warrior. She reached for her sword, but William kicked it away, holding the point at her throat.

"Well, boy?" Fright Knight asked aggressively. "What are you waiting for? Finish it." She leaned her helmeted head back so William could have a clearer view of her throat.

"Sorry, I don't play by your rules." Said William, making his sword disappear. "I'm just going to ask you politely that you don't follow me." Fright Knight merely stared emotionlessly up at him. "I'll take that as a yes." William turned, and ran back out to help the Lost Scorpions escape out through the ENORMOUS hole Trunk created. Fright Knight stared after him, before holding up a few strands of his hair.

"Plasmius will have to make do with this." She said to herself, before grabbing her sword and fazing into the floor, vowing a rematch against the young man that defeated her.

OUTSIDE: FORESTED AREA

"Okay, we escaped." Said Stinger, looking over his group with the addition of William. "Question is, what do we do with you now?" The Pincers began hopping excitedly.

"Ooh, give him to us!" They said in unison. "The Pincers haven't had a turn yet!"

"Bull shit!" Said Tail-Snap. "I haven't made him scream yet."

"How about you just forget I exist?" Asked William, smiling nervously at whom he dubbed as the most negotiable member of the group, Stinger.

"Oh, we can't just do that." Said the well dressed man. "You must be worth something to somebody." Stinger was suddenly blasted by blue sound waves, throwing him back. Trunk prepared to fire his gun, but was knocked out as he was unluckily knocked out by a falling tree branch. The Pincers were suddenly lifted up and slammed together, and Tail-Snap was thrown into a tree.

"Yeah, he's worth a whole hell of a lot to us." Said Ember, becoming visible, along with Danny, Johnny, Kitty, Penelope, surprisingly, and a black figure William didn't recognize.

"Let me get this point across." Said Danny, his eyes glowing brightly. "If I ever see you in Amity Park or hear about you hurting or threatening my friends again, I'll beat you into the ground." Stinger just stared at the boy, un intimidated. Unfortunately, with his team knocked out, Stinger knew that he woudn't be able to fight against all of them.

"Alright." Said Stinger. "I surrender." He pointed at William. "But if I ever see you again, we will catch you."

"I'll be waiting." Said William confidently. He followed after his friends, leaving Stinger there to take care of his knocked out teammates.
