Hi everyone it's been a while hasn't it
Hang on a second
61394 steps away from his desk as a giant anvil is dropped on it
This is getting sad and repetitive Wade
"You're the sad and repetitive one Number boy" Wade commented "seriously of all you hack authors whose stories I've been carrying on my back since Danny and Kim you're the worst when it comes to updating"
Danny and Starfire
Wade stops and thinks about it "okay fine Neos needs to update that one but still this is about you taking forever to do the Phantom planet crud because you procrastinate" Wade continued "given your track record Danny and Luz will be done sometime in the 2040s"
I'm sorry I've taken so long Wade here to make it up to you here's a chimichanga the size of a mammoth
"Make it the size of Manny from the Ice Age movies" Wade countered "whose he kidding it's not his fur he's just fat"
Deadpool happily ate the chimichanga within seconds completely unaware as he transformed into a llama thankfully still wearing his costume
"Wait I transformed into what" Deadpool pulled out a hand mirror and screamed "ahHHHH YOU turned me into a llama"
Well you are owned by Disney now and they already had a fourth wall breaking comedian with a red and black color scheme since 2000 I can reference
Also I thought it was funny
"This had better be temporary"
I'll give you the antidote at the end of the chapter
After Many Dates Danny and Angelica
Bullet struggled against his restraints trying in vain to break away from the lab table he was currently strapped to watching through a window was Vlad Plasmius and some human wearing a black body suit obscuring their features underneath some sort of harness and a brown trenchcoat
Bullet had managed to escape while the ghost boy and the lantern were distracted by some sort of message when this human had appeared out of nowhere shooting him with some sort of
"You broke the rules Bullet" Plasmius said mocking the words of his boss "I need Daniel alive for my plans"
"I was just following orders Plasmius it was Walkers plan" he pleaded perfectly willing to throw his boss under the bus if it meant saving his own existence "I can help you with your plans"
"I'm dreadfully sorry Bullet but we currently don't have any job openings" Plasmius said sarcastically "however there is one way you'll be able to help me"
From the ceiling above Bullet a ray came down powered by some kind of green crystal Bullet didn't know what that crystal was but he knew instinctively it was very bad news
Bullet tried to break free but the restraints held on tight as the ray powered up with an ominous hum before it activated
Vlad smirked as the ectoranium ray test was a success thanks to the ectoranium powersource
Vlad smiled to his subordinate "excellent work as always Nobody"
Nobody nodded "you flatter me boss it's been great to cut loose after playing hero so long with the Masters blaster"
Vlad nodded sympathetically knowing his employee quite well "yes for now return to the Masters Blasters headquarters I'll have more work for you in the future"
Nobody nodded before teleporting away
Vlad smirked things had not been going with the Masters Blasters as he had hoped Daniel was supposed to overexert himself trying to keep up with the Masters Blasters tiring himself out until he finally gave up on wasting his time putting himself in harms way to help others
Once Daniel became frustrated enough seeing how fickle his fellow man was that he'd been squandering his potential helping the gullible masses Vlad would swoop in to take the little badger under his wing and mold him into the successor for the empire Vlad had built with his powers
Of course things had been derailed thanks to Daniels powerless paramour Angelica Pickles instead of his Masters Blasters being what everyone was talking about they were obsessively following on social media the alter ego Miss. Pickles had invented the ghost girl Angela
Vlad had underestimated the girl but no matter Vlad had been playing chess longer than Miss. Pickles had been alive
And any chess player worth his salt always had a backup plan
Valerie wasn't sure what she was expecting when she arrived at the Masters Blasters headquarters an old fire station that Vlad had renovated with everything a ghost hunter could need
'The whole place looked like a knockoff version of Fentonworks' Valerie thought 'knowing the Fruitloop he probably used the Fentons designs instead of his own'
The blonde guy Thrash lifting a truck while Vid worked on it wasn't what she was expecting to see "can you hurry things along Captain" Thrash grumbled "my shoulders killing me"
"Keep your shorts on Lieutenant I've just about" Vid trailed off for a moment sliding out from under the truck "got it all right let her down"
"Yes ma'am" Thrash complied slowly bringing down the truck with barely a thud dusting his hands off he turned and saw her "oi no civilians are allowed in here"
"Who are you calling a civilian" Valerie asked with a raised eyebrow
"Down Jim it's the Red Huntress" Vid said patting Thrash on the shoulder "you're dismissed soldier"
Thrash looked to Vid nodding "yes Captain" he said walking off Vid grinned wiping her hands off on an oily rag before walking over to him
"Hey sorry about him Jims default mood is grump" Vid said holding out her hand "Captain Linda Thompson US Army retired codename Vid"
Valerie was surprised with how polite she was being "Red Huntress" Valerie said shaking her hand "you're actually army"
"Sure me Thrash and Download we all did a tour on the Biyalan Quraqi border" Vid answered waving a hand "walk with me" Vid walked further into the station Valerie following after
"So from soldier to ghost hunter interesting career plan" Valerie commented walking through the lab into a kitchen Vid walked over to the coffee machine pouring herself a mug taking one out for Valerie "want one" she offered
"Can't drink with the helmet on and it's staying on" Valerie answered Vid nodded understanding
"I get it you don't know us" Vid said taking a sip of steaming hot coffee "I took what mayor Masters said about you with a grain of salt"
'Oh what did Vlad say about me' Valerie wondered in her head
"That you were an untrained amateur with a hair trigger temper" Vid answered "no offense to the mayor but I don't think he knows what it's like to be in a fight to have that weight on your shoulders that if you make a mistake that not just you but innocent people could pay the price for it" Vid said solemnly
"I know the feeling" Valerie said solemnly sure she'd helped people but she made mistakes that nearly got an innocent little girl melted into goo
"It's why we started this me Jim Duke we're all from Amity Park born and raised" Vid began "I was still overseas when the first ghost invasion happened then not too long after there was another and another but my city is safe thanks to him Danny Phantom I want to repay him help lift some of the burden off his shoulders"
"And the branding the social media campaign" Valerie wondered
"Mayor Masters insisted he says he wants the people to know they're safe" Vid scoffed "personally I think he just wants to improve his approval ratings"
'Probably' Valerie thought 'though it could be something petty'
Vid nodded having drained her coffee putting the mug in the sink "listen Huntress the Blasters and I could use your help we caught some vulture ghosts last night they said that a ghost pretending to be Danny Phantom would come to the town meeting today to attack the mayor" Vid explained
'So that's your plan Vlad' Valerie thought instead of making Danny look bad get the people to think Danny Phantom had been replaced by an imposter and get them to hate you "how can I help"
"You and Phantom don't get along your old fights are all over the web but you know him could you tell the difference between the real one and a fake" Vid asked
Valerie nodded "in a heartbeat" Valerie answered the other ghost hunter grinned leading her back to the truck Thrash and Download were waiting all suited up
"Right soldiers you know the job protect the civilians and detain any hostile any questions"
"No Captain" Thrash and Download said together Vid grinned
"That's my soldiers lets' move we're burning daylight"
'This has to work' Danny thought determined as he sat between Sam and Tucker in the bleachers both of his best friends were wearing spector deflectors under their shirts and had Fenton Thermoses and other ghost hunting gear on them
If Dannys plan failed the three of them would jump Vlad and trap him in the Fenton Thermos exposing both his and Vlads secret
Yeah Danny was worried about what could happen to his parents if they found out again
Who wouldn't be when every time they found out they either nearly died or an alternate timelines version of his dad literally died right in front of him but given the option between his parents knowing his secret and Vlad being allowed to walk free after what he did to Dani and Katie
He'd tell his parents
EVERY
SINGLE
TIME
Danny noticed The Masters Blasters in their full suits standing guard Valerie with them
Valerie had sent him a text thanks to some info from Vlads bird brain vultures they thought a fake version of him was here to attack the mayor
Probably would use the fight to make his Masters Blasters look better for whatever petty or evil scheme he'd come up with this time
Vlad smirked stepping up to the podium "citizens of Amity Park no doubt you've noticed a concerning trend that began this past summer"
Vlad tapped a remote showing a slideshow of fights Danny getting hit by various opponents he'd fought some during his time in the dating services some after like Asmodeus invasion mind controlled Katie or Walkers Phantasam construct
"Horrible ghosts monsters and a villain even Batman was unable to bring to justice have come to Amity Park and Danny Phantom is being overwhelmed more and more by these horrible threats"
Vlad stopped the slideshow on a picture of Katie slamming him backfirst into someones car Danny frowned clenching his fists tight his fingernails poking the palms of his hands
"Now" Tucker whispered
"Not yet" Danny whispered back
"Meanwhile the Masters Blasters team that I've put together have overcome any and every ghost that have come their way stopping them from hurting you the people" Vlad said
"So it is my plan to expand the Masters Blasters to have teams constantly patrolling so that ghosts no matter where they appear will be stopped before they can hurt our homes our schools our families our city will be safe from the threats that go bump in the night" Vlad finished his speech with a grin
"Do I have any questions"
A teenage girl with brown hair in grungy looking clothes stood up "what about the Wisconsin Ghost are your Masters Blasters going to catch him" she asked Vlad smirked
"Young lady where ever that terrifying ghost is the Masters Blasters will bring him to justice" Vlad 'promised' getting some applause from the crowd
Danny nodded to Tucker "now" Danny whispered Tucker grinned pulling out his PDA he pushed a button hacking into the screens behind Vlad and began to play new footage from Skulkers point of view talking to Vlad
"I have a job for you Skulker I want you to terminate this man Jack Fenton" Vlad ordered holding up a picture of Jack "he somehow has managed to survive this far against the ghosts I've sent to do the job so you shouldn't be bored"
"Any preference how I do it" Skulker asked "he was your friend once"
Vlad scoffed in disgust "I haven't been 'friends' with that fudge loving idiot in twenty years I don't care how you do it poison him drown him bludgeon him over his empty skull just don't do it in a way that implicates me"
"I'd start writing the eulogy cause Jack Fentons good as dead" Skulker promised
The townspeople gasped around them people began to mutter and talk Vlad frowned "ladies and gentlemen this is clearly faked by my enemies I would never say these things about my good friend Jack Fenton"
Before Vlad could keep trying to save himself more footage began to play this time of Vlad in his cabin in Colorado talking to the pilot ghost who had forced Danny and his mom out of the plane over the Rockies
"You're sure they're in the area" Vlad asked the ghost nodded
"They landed safely should be here in ten minutes" the ghost answered
Vlad smiled "splendid just enough time to double check the personalized gift baskets have the ghosts on standby to kill Jack and his daughter Jasmine"
"All this just to get some woman you went to college with to leave her husband and marry you" the ghost asked "aren't you a billionaire it can't be this hard to get a girlfriend"
"Please I don't need some halfwitted socialite not when I'll soon have Maddie once she sees my estate she'll choose to leave Jack and be with me" Vlad said arrogantly
More footage began to play this time just audio with news clippings
"Could a fruitloop pull off a string of invisible bank heists or have CEOs overshadowed to sell their companies to me I AM NOT A FRUITLOOP"
Now footage of Jazz on an operating table having nanites injected into her bloodstream before being placed into the Ectoskeleton
"Your daughter is prepared for her final test dear" the hologram of Dannys mom
'That's still sick and wrong' Danny thought
Vlad smiled "excellent either Jasmine proves her loyalty and terminates the little badger or she tries to fight me and I test the nanites kill switch and keep my Ectoskeleton either way I win"
The crowd was looking horrified and looked ready to riot but Danny wasn't done yet
"Did you have trouble grabbing the brat" Vlad asked Skulker
"You could have told me it was a school for mutants I had to fight my way through a sandstorm not to mention the faculty"
"Consider it a punishment for losing my only supply of Kryptonite samples rarely show up on the black market and the ones that do usually end up getting snatched up by Luthor"
"Blame the whelp and his blinddate the whelpette of steel"
"I blame you now take Miss. Kaboom to the lab I want her rampaging in the streets by noon and enroute to Belle reve or the morgue by dinner" Vlad demanded coldly
"Wow and I thought you only hated Jack Fenton this much what'd she do to you" Skulker asked
"Never mind what she did and do what I said Skulker" Vlad rebutted angrily
And now the grand finale
The worst one of all
"Drat" Vlad Masters said to his duplicate Vlad Plasmius something that Danny and his friends knew but pretty much no one else in Amity Park did "we almost melted the brat"
Footage cut to Dani strapped to her table her feet melting into ectoplasmic goo as she screamed and struggled
Danny couldn't look at the footage
Finally the screen turned dark people stood up from their seats booing while the Masters Blasters and the police surrounded Vlad "mayor Masters you are under arrest" officer O'Shagnessy said
"Now Captain this is all a misunderstanding" Vlad said "that footage was clearly doctored to frame me perhaps by former Mayor Montez"
"Tell it to the judge" he said strapping on high tech handcuffs with glowing green energy "anti ghost cuffs no ghosts can touch the convict wearing them" the officer explained to Vlad before leading him out of City Hall Danny smiled at Vlad when he passed by mouthing "checkmate" at him with a smile on his face
Vlad scowled as he passed by
While this was happening Vlad another town away Beverly Star 'talent agent' screamed hysterically running down the street looking around spotting two twenty something police officers standing to their squad car
"Officers oh officers you have to arrest me" she said dropping to her knees in front of one of them his nameplate reading Steve
"Ma'am are you okay" officer Steve asked "do you need us to call someone"
"No you've got to arrest me or the Demon llama will get me" Beverly confessed "see I'm a conwoman honest I find kids who can sing or act or play an instrument whatever and I give them a card here take my card I've got them with a million different names" she continued getting more hysterical throwing hundreds of cards at them
"And I say I can get them an audition I fleece 1000 dollars from the suckers and I send them to some random building I think it's a coffee shop or something I don't care about the kids I'm already fleecing a new sucker but then the demon llama showed up in my house he told me to confess to my sins or he'd get me please check my bank account ask around they'll back up my story"
Steve looked to his partner "what do you think Larry"
"We can check her story at the station" Larry answered "but either way we should probably take her to the station anyway"
"Okay" Steve said helping Beverly to her feet putting her in the back of the station "don't worry ma'am we'll keep you safe from the demon llama"
The police drove off with Beverly while Deadpool stepped out of the alley still as a llama
"I couldn't have been the least bit violent with her" Deadpool asked/complained
She's a conwoman not a supervillain
"I didn't even get to spit on someone" Deadpool grumbled before stepping over the divider line
"Oh thank goodness I'm a human again" Deadpool cheered clapping his hands "so is Emperors New Groove canon to this story"
No I saw the Emperors New Groove recently thought turning you into a llama would be fun plus you scared the conwoman from Susie sings the blues so hey win win
Also included two minor characters from Rugrats Larry and Steve into the story for a cameo as cops
"Yeah not too bad Number Boy now let's talk about other stuff" Deadpool grinned "you know Neo published his own version of the original story"
I know Sakura from Street fighters character was the most recent date there was a joke about Deadpool stealing snacks from the breakroom
"So I was thinking what if you did your own version of the original think about it Number boy think of all the different girls the team ups the chances for chaos the spinoff opportunities"
No
"Oh come on Number Boy it'll be fun" Deadpool said "it is inevitable it is your destiny"
Quoting Star Wars isn't going to make me change my mind
Okay joking aside I'm not going to do any remake or version of the original story feel free to enjoy Neos version the original or any other Many Date story
Next time two enemies get beat and yes we finish Phantom Planet
Stay Safe Everyone
And until next time
