And my next chapter, Vlad Plasmius vs. Danny Phantom. This world's Plasmius is very different to the conventional version and partially using the Amazing Spider Man green goblin. This will also feature the confrontation between team Phantom and the X-Men.
Chapter 4- Vlad Plasmius- pawn of shadows
Kitty Pryde was sat the table with Kurt and Rahne when Tucker walked over with Ellie. A few minutes later Danny walked over and planted a big kiss on Ellie's lips. Everyone in the canteen laughed at the 2 teens.
"Hey Fenton, when's the wedding!" dash yelled out. Danny and Ellie smirked at that.
"Well not that you're invited but it will be shortly after graduation in 2 years time." Danny replied, bringing the cafeteria to a standstill, indeed one teen fell over. Kitty and Rahne's jaws were hanging loose as Ellie showed them the ring Danny had given her in the Phantom Cave just the previous day. Then they squealed.
"Congratulations." Kurt said honestly. "I'm assuming that Tucker is the best man?" he said.
"Yup. We've known each other since we were babies, it would be wrong for that honour to go to anyone else." Danny said.
After school- Danny' bedroom.
"Why are we in your room Danny? You said that you were going to show me your base?" Jazz asked.
"The main entrance is in here." Danny explained. Yesterday night he had informed his sister of his and Ellie's engagement and hi ghostly secret and therefore promised to show her the lab. Tucker and Ellie were stood there to.
Danny walked over to his wardrobe and pulled it open before flipping the doorknob open and pressing it, causing the floor to retract to reveal a staircase. Walking down the 4 teens came to an elevator, which they entered.
"A month prior to the accident I bought the old mines and have been working on this since then. The day I borrowed that thermos during the whole meat monster thing about a month ago I decided to turn it into a superhero base and become named myself Danny Phantom." Danny explained as the doors opened. Stood in the middle of the lab was a mecha suit.
"What's that thing doing out?" Ellie asked.
"It's finished. I was goanna test it out." Danny explained.
"What is it?" Jazz asked.
"If I really need it, in a fight with a really powerful villain, I can use this to amplify my natural abilities 100 fold. I am also building an army of drones, half of which are based on this design. It retracts into a watch and I've built ones for Tuck and Ellie. I'll have you armed with our tech by tonight." Danny explained as he donned the armour. Upon initialization he transformed, turning the grey Mech black with some white panels, Danny's logo on the chest and the 3 morals written the same way they are on Danny's jacket. "How do I look?" he asked.
"Good, man" Tucker said.
"Eat your heart out Iron Man." Danny chuckled as he walked to the training centre.
A few minutes later Danny was stood in an ash coated mecha among dozens of destroyed holographic enemies.
Walking out of the training room the suit seemed to collapse in on itself, reshaping into a high tech watch.
"Danny that was amazing! That was even better than before." Tucker said. "That suit really is good."
"It wasn't just the suit. A few days ago I gained a new power, hyper senses. It basically means that any of my non sight senses could get a 360 degree perfect lay of the land fairly easily for about 10 yards, allowing me to identify the least damaging way to deal with a foe as well as instinctively reacting to an enemy's attacks before they can hit me. These senses are linked to my muscles directly allowing me to instinctively avoid attacks." Danny said (Basically Danny has an enhanced form of Spider sense with a scientific explanation, using sound Danny can recognise the type of attack and where it is going to strike, allowing his lighting fast reflexes to dodge any strike.)
"Well I guess that we will need to update the Phantom handbook again then." Tucker said with a smirk.
Danny was flying around the industrial district. He had detected a mysterious ecto signature.
Suddenly an armoured figure slammed into him, sending him flying. Danny hit a building. 'What the hell! That guy moved so fast that I couldn't detect him fast enough to dodge!' Danny thought.
He looked up to see a man with black slicked black hair and blue skin in a armoured suit with bat like mechanical wings attached to the back.
"Who are you supposed to be? Batman's evil counterpart?" Danny quipped.
"Now young man my name is Vlad Plasmius." The man said, revealing his fangs.
"Why are you here?"
"You my dear boy could be a very useful ally. Join me and we can take control of this planet."
"Yeah- I'm afraid I'm Kinda against the whole world domination thing."
"I know who you are Daniel Fenton. You and I are both so much more than humans or ghosts! Join me and we could rule everything."
"Stay away from me you fruit loop." Danny snapped, flying away quickly, panicked that his newest adversary knew his secret identity.
Casper high pep rally.
Danny was sat with his friends in the bleachers watching the pep rally as he kept thinking about the man from last night. 'How did he know my name?' He thought.
Suddenly there was an explosion and the centre of his thoughts appeared in the middle of the gym. Immediately people were running in all directions. The X-men were quickly running to their lockers, where they were keeping their uniforms while Danny hid behind the bleachers and transformed into his ghost form.
"Ah Daniel. I decided to pay you a visit to make you reconsider your decision to decline my offer of employment. It is not good for your health to cross Vlad Plasmius. Suddenly the doors opened and the X-men showed up.
"Kitty!" Ellie and Tucker yelled, causing the X-men to curse that their cover was blown. In their distraction they missed Plasmius tackling Danny. "Danny!"
Danny quickly recovered and dodged Vlad's next strike, rolling aside and providing a spinning kick and striking the man in the head, knocking him out. When he fell, the ghost transformed into a human man with white hair. "Vlad masters!" Danny realised.
Waking up Vlad realised that the boy now knew his secret identity and opted to fly away, being out numbered.
As the 3 senior members of the X–Men showed up Danny turned back to normal and raised an eyebrow to look at the group of spandex clad super humans.
"Wanna swap stories?"
Vlad Masters was once a promising young man until he learnt that he had a rare disease that was slowly killing him. During this time he created an ectoplasmic serum to cure him but it also gave him the power to turn into Vlad Plasmius, who he used to build up his wealth and powers. He had then used a second serum to give Plasmius his more vampire-like monstrous apperance.
Tonight however he was stood in his lab, under the Masters mansion, still clad in his armour
"I hear you encountered the boy." He turned to se a shadowy imposing figure.
"Yes Shadow. He will prove a useful pawn to our plans in the future I believe."
"Indeed. Until then I suggest you attempt to acquire the skeleton key and use it to steal the crown of fire and the ring of rage. With it you will finally have the power you desire."
In a mysterious location a figure walked away from the room where he had contacted his unwitting pawn Plasmius.
'Sending Plasmius on this crusade will unleash pariah dark, oh the fear that pawn will create will be fabulous.' He thought. The creature that was stood there he wore tattered black pants and a white belt. He wore a black tunic with torn sleeves and he had blood soaked bandages wrapped around his wrists. He had pale blue skin and red reptilian eyes with slick black hair. He had sharp teeth, a long pointed nose and a serpentine tongue. On his chest was a red demonic looking DP insignia. He walked up to a pale blue skinned figure in a roman gladiator's armour.
"Master. How did it work?"
"Plasmius is a very easy pawn to manipulate. It is easy to send my pawns out to reap fear. Soon the world will see The Shadow army will arise and everyone will fear the name of The Dark Phantom.
And so not only has team Phantom met the X-Men on the hero field but we learn that Vlad Plasmius is a pawn of The Dark Phantom. Dark Phantom will not fully come into play until Phantom planet (Not anything to do with the original Phantom planet but the title is more based on the Spider island story from Spider Man.) but he will be involved in the story as an overreaching manipulator called The Shadow- unrelated to Danny's alter ego in another of my stories.
