"Danny, Vlad Plasmius is her boss. He is very dangerous. We have been fighting for years now. My mission, however, wasn't to find you. It was to find out if the Red Huntress was around and if so, then," He sighed, "To remove her if she was working for Plasmius." Danny looked at him shocked.
"I wasn't going to and since I found you and that you two are friends, I was hoping that Tucker could convince her that she was working for an evil being. Actually shouldn't you be on the ship still?" James asked looking at Rex and Bell. Rex pointed at Bell who gave him a look.
"Carlson said that he was healed and I thought that some fresh air would be good for him." James sighed as he looked at Danny.
"You gave him the apprentice clothes,"
"I told you that I'll get someone in it." Bell smiled at him. James rolled his eyes as he turned back to his apprentice.
"So, you told her everything."
"I am sorry, but my orders were simple. Get her on our side or remove her. The council decided that she was too dangerous."
Danny nodded and then looked at Valerie who was tied to the chair and looking at the ground. "Why is she tied up?"
"She gave us some trouble," Cody said. "It was more for our protection than anything," He finished. Danny just walked up to Valerie and started to untie her.
"Uh…sir, I wouldn't…" James brought his hand up to silence the Commander as they watched.
"Val, I don't blame you, but that dog was not mine. The only thing that came out of that was having another enemy that I didn't want." He chuckled, "And marking off being a dog catcher off the list of what I want to be." Danny said as he freed her. Valerie however didn't look up at him and whispered,
"How can you be forgiving after everything I have done." Danny smiled,
"Because you didn't know. I never told you…"
"And you were always 'Shoot first, ask questions never'" Tucker said as Valerie yelled
"But Danny…"
"But what" He asked. "You didn't know, so I do not blame you," Danny said.
"But Danny, your parents hurt you…I hurt you. If it was me, I wouldn't be so forgiving." Danny just leaned down and brought his hand under his chin and brought her face up to look at him.
"I know, but please Val; I do not and will never blame you." Valerie smiled at him as he smiled back. James smiled at that as he then turned to Mr. Gray.
"So, what is your take on this?" He asked.
"As long as she isn't hunting Danny or another dangerous ghost and tells me where she is, I'm ok with it. I might not like it, but I'm ok with it."
"Well, don't worry. The only reason that Skulker was out and about is that the portal is still active. Once we leave, I doubt if any ghosts return to the city." James said catching Danny's attention.
"What?"
"You didn't know that the portal is the main reason that ghosts would be coming to the real world?" James asked.
"No, I get that, but Skulker…Where is he?" He yelled as he went ghost and looked around.
"In here, sir," Cody said brining up a thermos that was silver and black and had the Alliance symbol on it. Danny relaxed and then turned back human at that.
"Now that I have seen you transform, I'm really shocked I was so obvious," Valerie said shaking her head. Danny chuckled at that. "So, what now" Danny asked James.
"That depends, where is your allegiance, Ms. Gray? With us or with Plasmius" James asked Val as she looked at the ground.
"Did you tell her the truth about him?"
"Tucker actually told me. To be honest, I didn't know that Vlad Masters was Vlad Plasmius until now." James said as everyone looked at Valerie.
"How did you find out about Danny?" Valerie asked. James pointed at Tucker,
"From Tucker,"
Flashback: One month ago:
"General James, have your forces arrived in Amity Park yet?" An older man with no facial hair, but of small statue asked as a blue hologram being projected from the center holo-projecter in the war-room of General James's personal flagship the Accelerator a XX Thunder-beam-class Destroyer, as the person in question sighed,
"Yes, Master, we have just arrived. My men are already beginning the landing cycle of my ships." General James said as his commander, a man dressed in white armor with blue marks, walked into the war-room.
"Good, then I expect your report by the end of this week, Master Kang out." The hologram vanished with that as James sighed. No one could ever understand how Kang created the alliance or now he grew the billions of clone troopers that served it for the life of them.
"Commander Cody, what is it?" He asked seeing the commander finally.
Commander Cody saluted James and then said "Sir, our ships have finished the scan of the area. An interesting power source has been detected and it's moving," That caught James's attention.
"And what is this energy?"
"Ecto-plasm," Cody said shocked. James's eyes went wide at that and then he yelled "Get us to where the energy signature is at once,"
"Sir, yes, sir," Cody said as the ship turned and went full speed to where the energy signature was, only to find nothing at all.
"Alright, what is this?"
"I don't know, but the signature disappeared, sir." Cody said. "An energy signature that high couldn't have just vanished, Commander."
"I know, but…"
"Master Jedi," A voice yelled as James and Cody looked to see Tucker running towards them with a shocked look on his face.
End Flashback:
"The Alliance council has allowed me to train him since you know that I am half ghost as well." James said as Valerie nodded. "But I still have a lot of work to do here, I hoped that Tucker would remain to finish it here, but he and his family want to come with Danny and me, while I don't want to cause someone to move, they are honest and willing. However, you and your father…Well, I know Danny trusts you both, I trust your father, but you are still far from earning my trust." He said as Valerie looked at him and then deactivated her armor.
"Where exactly are you taking him?"
"To the Alliance temple,"
"Which is?" James smirked,
"The coordinates are only known by those on the Alliance council, I can't tell you or anyone else." He finished.
"Ok, then I'll trust you, but take care of him." Valerie said as James nodded.
With telling Mr. Gray and Valerie the last thing that James needed to do there in Amity, James turned to the Foleys,
"Are you guys ready?" He asked.
"Yup," Mr. Foley said who had arrived to help his wife and son pack up.
"And are you completely sure?"
"Yes, but we will have to look over the school curriculum when we arrive," Mrs. Foley said. James chuckled,
"I'm sure you'll be quite surprise." He then turned to Danny.
"So are you ready?" He asked.
"Yeah, I am." James nodded and then turned to Rex and Cody.
"Then it's time for us to head back to the ship and then the temple. Valerie, Mr. Gray, I leave Amity Park under the command of Commander Gear and you two, I will be back to check in." The two nodded and then with that James, Danny, and the Foleys headed towards the Gunships and headed to the Accelerator.
