Later that night deep within the caves of the ghostly elephant graveyard Skulker, Ember and Behemoth were still in pain from being attacked by Jack.
"Man that lousy Jack Fenton! I won't be able to fly for a week!" Skulker muttered bitterly.
Behemoth then began to laugh uncontrollably at him, much to Skulker's annoyance as he said, "its not funny Behemoth"
Behemoth then covered his mouth to stop, but then he just burst out laughing causing Skulker to get mad as he yelled, "SHUT UP!"
But Behemoth didn't listen and continued to laugh, Skulker finally had enough and then began to fight with him. They both wrestled for a bit, Ember became really annoyed and frustrated at them as she tried to play her guitar.
She then had enough, she stood up and shouted at them, "Will you knock it off!"
The two stopped their fighting, getting off each other as Behemoth then continued to bite on his own arm. Skulker then pouted and said, "He started it!"
"Look at you guys, no wonder we're dangling at the bottom of the food chain and if it weren't for those humans and other ghosts in Amity, we'd be running the joint" Ember said as she floated down to them.
"Man I hate them!" Skulker exclaimed.
"They're so pushy" Ember started, Skulker then said, "And stupid". Ember then said, "And stinky" and then they both said in unison, "And man are they UGLY!"
All three of them laughed at that fact and then they stopped when they heard Vlad in his ghost form say, "Oh surely we are not that bad"
"Oh hey Plasmius it's just you. We thought it was somebody important like Jack Fenton, now that's power" Skulker said after all three of them gave sighs of relief.
"Tell me about it, I just hear that name and I shudder" Ember said.
"Jack Fenton" Skulker said in a creepy way, causing Ember to shudder.
"Do it again" Ember said.
"Jack Fenton. Jack Fenton, Jack Fenton, Jack Fenton!" Skulker repeated causing Ember to shudder like crazy and Behemoth to laugh again.
Vlad held his head as if he had a migraine and said, "I'm surrounded by idiots"
"Hey your okay because your one of us Plasmius, your our pal" Skulker said.
"Charmed" Vlad replied to that, a little amused.
"Oh I like that, he's not king but he's still so proper" Ember said.
"Hey any chance did you bring us anything to eat?" Skulker asked hopefully.
Vlad then held out a bag full of different types of food and said as he gave it to them, "I don't really think you deserve this, I practically gift-wrapped those kids for you and you couldn't even get rid of them"
All three of them hungrily dove into the food. Ember then said with her mouth full, "Well you know, they weren't exactly alone Plasmius"
"Yeah what are supposed to do? Kill Jack?" Skulker asked.
Vlad then smiled as he answered, "Precisely" causing all three of them to look up at him.
Vlad then flew down to tell them, his brilliant scheme that he has planned.
VLAD
I know that your powers of retention
Are as wet as a warthog's backside
But thick as you are, pay attention
(Vlad walked around Behemoth a bit and then blasted the bone he was chewing on away, causing Behemoth to salute at him seriously)
My words are a matter of pride
It's clear from your vacant expressions
The lights are not all on upstairs
(When Vlad walked away, Behemoth then lost all his seriousness and put on a goofy grin, causing Ember and Skulker to laugh a little bit)
But we're talking kings and successions
Even you can't be caught unawares
(Vlad surprised Ember and Skulker as they laughed, causing them to fall on top of a couple of geysers and then they exploded from the pressure building, sending them flying in the air)
So prepare for a chance of a lifetime
Be prepared for sensational news
A shining new era is tiptoeing nearer
EMBER
And where do we feature?
(Vlad then roughly grabbed her cheek and then let go as he continued to fly down the path. Ember then rubbed her sore cheek)
VLAD
Just listen to teacher
I know it sounds sordid but you'll be rewarded
When at last I am given my dues!
(Vlad then blasted Behemoth in a pile of old bones with an ecto blast)
And injustice deliciously squared
Be prepared!
"Yeah! Be prepared, we'll be prepared! For what?" Skulker asked Vlad, as all three of them climbed out of the bones.
"For the death of the king" Vlad answered as he stood on a rock above them.
"Is he sick?" Skulker asked in confusion.
Vlad then grabbed Skulker by the throat and held him as he answered, "No, fool! We're going to kill him and Danny too" He then threw Skulker back down to the others.
"Great idea! Who needs a king?" Ember said cheerfully and then she and Skulker sang in unison, "No king, no king! La la la la la la!"
"Idiots! There will be a king!" Vlad shouted annoyed by their stupidity.
"But you said-"Skulker began to complain, but was cut off as Vlad continued, "I will be king! Stick with me and you'll never go hungry again!"
"Yay, all right! Long live the king!" All three of them began to cheer and suddenly a whole bunch of rogue ghosts came out and shouted in unison, "Long live the king! Long live the king!"
ROGUE GHOSTS
It's great that we'll soon be connected
With a king who'll be all-time adored
(All the rogue ghosts then began to march in line, with Vlad looking down at them)
Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected
To take certain duties on board
The future is littered with prizes
And though I'm the main addressee
The point that I must emphasize is
You won't get a sniff without me!
(Vlad then broke up the marching, getting right up in one of the ghost's face and sending him down a hole in the floor. One ghost began to move the earth beneath them a bit, giving Vlad a high platform to stand upon)
So prepare for the coup of the century
Be prepared for the murkiest scam
Meticulous planning, tenacity spanning
Decades of denial is simply why I'll
Be king undisputed, respected, saluted
And seen for the wonder I am
Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared-
Be prepared!
ALL
Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared-
Be prepared!
All of them laughed evilly into the night and prepared for what will come upon Amity.
