Vlad continued to grit his teeth and growl in anger as he looked down at Danny down below. He then shouted, "PULL!"

Box Ghost threw a vase in the air and then Plasmius destroyed it with an ecto blast. Sam then said with a smirk, "Nice shooting rex"

"I can't believe this guy!" Vlad sneered as he turned away. "I throw everything I got at him and it doesn't even…."

He stopped at the sound of something coming from Box Ghost's feet, he looked down and saw that Box Ghost was wearing the Danny Phantom sandals and then sneered, "What are those?"

"Um I don't know" Box Ghost said with an innocent smile. "I thought they looked kind of dashing"

"I've got twenty four hours to get rid of this bozo or the entire scheme I've been setting up for 18 years goes up in smoke…." Vlad started pointing out getting closer and closer towards Box Ghost as his energy started flaring up again causing Box Ghost to look on in fear as he screamed, "And you are wearing HIS MERCHANDISE!"

Just when he was about to hurt Box Ghost, everything froze as he heard a slurping sound. Vlad turned his head and saw Bertrand sipping on the Danny Phantom drink they had made. Bertrand stopped sipping and then asked nervously, "Thirsty?"

That was the last straw as Vlad's energy fully flared up and he screamed and all that could be heard below was…

BOOOOM!

Bertrand and Box Ghost groaned in pain as they slid off the wall and landed on the ground in a thud, covered in soot. Sam chuckled as she stood up and walked over and looked down at Danny with a smile as she said, "Well looks like your games over. Ghost boy is hitting every curve you throw at him"

Vlad looked at Sam with a frown at first but then smiled as he got an idea and chuckled. He then said as he gently placed his hands on her shoulder and said, "Well I wonder if maybe I haven't been throwing the right curves at him Sam my dear"

Her eyes widened as she realised what he meant, she frowned and threw his hands off her shoulders as she scoffed, "Don't even go there"

"Come one he's gotta have a weakness because everyone does. For example with the Trojans; they bet on the wrong horse" Vlad explained. "All we need to do is find out ghost boy's weakness"

"I've done my part" Sam said. "Get your little minions to do it"

"They probably couldn't handle him. I need someone who can….handle him as a man" Vlad said with his grin.

"Hey I've sworn off man handling" Sam said as she turned and crossed her arms.

"Well that's good because that's what got you into this jam in the first place remember?" Vlad reminded. He then sent some green mist which showed an image of Sam with a boy with white hair and a black toga. She looked at it sadly as he said, "You sold your soul to me to save your boyfriend's life and how did that creep thank you? He first admitted that he lied about his name being Gregor and then ran off with some other babe"

She watched the image of her past boyfriend run off with another woman and her crying on her knees with a broken heart as Vlad finished, "He really hurt you huh?"

Sam swatted the mist away and said, "Look I learned my lesson okay? Please just drop it"

Vlad however smiled and handed her a vase as he said, "I don't think so Sam because I've got a feeling that you're gonna leap at this new offer. You give me the key to bringing down ghost boy and I give you the thing you crave most in the entire cosmos…."

He then leaned in and whispered in her ear, "Your freedom"

She gasped at the sound of that and dropped the vase, Vlad continued to grin knowing she was agreeing to his new deal.

Later that night, Danny had visited the temple to talk to Fright Knight. Fright Knight smiled proudly at his son as he described his battles, "You should've been there father. I mangled the Minotaur, completely froze the gorgon with my ice powers and then just like Theo taught me, controlled my strength and POW!"

Cujo pretended to be punched and then faked being knocked unconscious and then pretended to be the audience and cheered for Danny. Fright Knight chuckled and then said, "You're doing great son. You're making your old man proud and your mother as well"

"I'm glad to hear you say that dad. I've been waiting for this day a long time" Danny said with a smile.

"What day is that son?" Fright Knight asked with slight confusion. Danny then reminded, "The day I re-join the ghost gods"

Fright Knight cringed and then explained, "You've done wonderfully, you really have Danny but you're just not there yet"

"What do you mean?" Danny asked as his smile dropped a bit. Fright Knight then answered, "You haven't proven yourself a true hero"

Danny's smile fully dropped and he exclaimed, "But father, I've beaten every single monster I've gone up against! I'm the most famous person in all of Greece, heck! I'm even an action figure!"

"I understand Danny but I'm afraid being famous isn't the same as being a true hero" Fright Knight said in a calm voice.

Danny calmed down and asked, "What more can I do? What can I do to prove that I'm a true hero?"

"I can't answer that" Fright Knight said as he lifted Danny's chin with his large stone hand. "It's something you have to discover for yourself. Look inside your heart"

He then assumed his position on the chair and then the lightning struck the statue and it went back to being still as Danny shouted, "Father, wait!"

Danny was silent and then he growled in frustration punched the floor, breaking it a little as he fell to his knees. Cujo whined and sat next to his master hoping to comfort him as he took in everything Fright Knight had told him.

"What am I gonna do?" Danny whispered.
