Vlad Masters had found his way to the office of the Mayor and was in luck as the Mayor of Dimmsdale was nowhere to be found. Vlad had heard old fables about magical floating creatures that granted wishes, but up until now he had no reason to believe that such creatures existed. Ghosts were one thing, but magical fairies? That was absurd, or so he had thought.
He had taken to rifling through the filing cabinet in the Mayor's office. Nearly every citizen had a record and each record was in this cabinet. "Nothing too out of the ordinary," Vlad mused to himself. "Drat! I was hoping something could help me." He then came across a rather large file labeled Turner. Noting the size he began to look through it all.
A noise from behind Vlad made him jump, dropping the Turner file. "Oh yes," the voice said, "young Timmy Turner thinks that I am the only one who knows his secret, but that couldn't be further from the truth."
A man in a white shirt with a black tie came out from the shadows. It was Mr. Crocker. "Who are you?" Vlad asked.
"Someone who can help," Mr. Crocker explained. "It's Timmy Turner you seek, is it not?"
Vlad was confused. "I don't know. Should I be?"
"If it is his fairies you seek, then wherever he is, they are sure to follow," Mr. Crocker explained.
Vlad looked to Mr. Crocker warily. "Go on," he said, an eyebrow raised.
Meanwhile Cosmo and Poof were facing dangers of their own. Despite their constant cries of protest, the ghost known as Skulker had taken them deep into the Ghost Zone traveling for what felt like hours. Finally Skulker arrived at an immense castle that seemed endless both in height and width. "Um, excuse me Mr. Ghost-hunter thing. Where are we?" Cosmo asked.
"QUIET VERMIN!" Skulker shouted. "That is none of your concern." Skulker then walked up to the large front doors and grabbed a knocker that was in the shape of a crescent moon. He knocked twice before the doors that were as tall as skyscrapers slowly opened before them.
The castle was immaculate. Marble floors layered the ground floor, leading to a grand staircase made of a similar material. Skulker floated up the stairs until he reached another set of doors. They opened up before Skulker revealing an even grander room. The ceiling seemed endless. At the far end of the room was a rather large desk. And sitting behind the desk was a tall, sleek man wearing a black suit. He had shoulder-length blonde hair and red eyes that seemed to burn. He didn't appear to be a ghost, yet he wasn't quite human either.
Immediately Skulker bowed down before this entity. "I see you've done as I've asked," the man said. Skulker nodded. "Perhaps you lot aren't as useless as I've been lead to believe."
"Indeed not," Skulker replied. The man motioned for him to stand up. He took the net from Skulker and threw it into the air, releasing Cosmo and Poof. But before they could escape they were placed in bubbles. They were containment bubbles that no ghost nor fairy alike could escape.
"That will be all," the man said, dismissing Skulker. Immediately Skulker left the castle back into the Ghost Zone. He walked around Cosmo and Poof studying them. After what seemed ages he finally spoke. "You two aren't by any means the grandest of fairies I've encountered, but you two are still most powerful."
"Who are you? What do you want from us!?" Cosmo yelled. "Let us out!"
"Poof poof!" agreed Poof.
"SILENCE!" the man shouted. "I'm surprised. Have fairies already forgotten the likes of me?"
Cosmo thought that over. "Wait, I know you! I saw you on last night's episode of Fairy Pageant. You were the host!"
"Wrong you buffoon!" the man shouted. "I am the Master! First ghost ever in all of creation, master of ghosts, humans and fairies alike!"
Cosmo shuddered. "Oh yeah," he mumbled.
"Soon I will have Fairly World under my control!" the Master shouted. He turned around back to his desk and folded a few of his papers. "I was, up until now, unable to open the door that leads to Fairy World here in the Ghost Zone. But fortunately I have found the one being that can do what I cannot. His human side will allow him to open that door, but it took a little coercing to get him to help me."
Suddenly a dark figure appeared through the floor of the castle settling next to the Master. It was Danny, only something was different about him. Instead of his glowing green eyes he now matched a similar pair of red eyes, much like the Master's. "Say hello to Dark Danny."
"Hello Dark Danny," Cosmo said. Danny was silent.
"Danny has taken all too well to my latest form of mind control," the Master explained. "Danny's is a soul not to be reckoned with. But it can be persuaded." The Master then waved his arm and Cosmo and Poof disappeared. "I'll leave them with my other collections for the time being. You and I have to work to do," he said to Danny.
