Phantom vs Aliens: Hot Ectoplasma!
Chapter 73: Crashing The Wedding
Danny, his sister, friends, Mandie's parents and the freed soldiers had just escaped the palace dungeons and were now outside.
"We're out!..." Danny said, while his sister and friends saw the capital.
"Wow...so this Boudacia's capital city..."Danny commented, while his friends were stunned to see more of the alien world.
"Wow, awesome. This is like a nerd fantasy come true!..."Tucker said in awe of the high tech looking alien city.
"You can admire our capital's beauty later. Right now, we need to find our precious little pup before that scoundrel Brutis ruins her life!..." Milee said, focused on her daughter.
This turned out to actually be quite the difficult command for the tech obsessed teen to follow, since there was so much otherworldly technology around him and he was just too curious.
"I know...but this place is...wow..." Tucker said, still in awe since this place had technology he's never seen before.
Thankfully Sam was there to remind him of their new reason for being here by ribbing him.
"Not now..." She said, while the tech geek glared at her.
Ignoring them, Maurus sniffed the air and growled as he heard the humming of droids came within earshot.
"Look out!..." He said, pulling everyone back.
The droids were coming into view, while the beastly king had his talons extended.
"Target practice, troops. Clear a path!…"Milee pointed as the warriors hollered wth vigor and the leadership of their royalty, spears and swords were held in the air.
"FOR BOUDACIA!... "The soldiers shouted, as they all charged.
Target practice was an understatement. While outnumbering the soldiers, the latter's strength overpowered the security, leaving only scrap metal.
"Enemy destroyed!..."One soldier said, holding his spear up proudly.
With the droids destroyed, the heroes kept running and making their way through towards their next destination. Each turn of the corner, more alien security came at them. However, it was like putting paper walls in front of a rhino, doing nothing but killing time.
"Come on, we don't have time for this..." Danny said, focusing his ghostly powers to turn more robots into scrap metal.
Tiring of the next wave, he focused enough strength into a large blast. It took a lot out of him, but it was worth it.
"I'm going to need a week off from everything when this is done..." Danny said, phasing through a few more droids while the royal and elite boudacians slash and crash them in a instant.
"You'll have earned it!..." Sam said, seeing the robots dropping like flies.
Even if the area was covered in what looked like soot, Maurus and Milee gave a nod of respect as they eyed the damaged.
"Such a waste of otherwise useful droids. Remind to add this to our charges against Brutis..." Maurus said.
"Of course, Dear..." Milee said with a nod.
Everything could be fixed, but it was such a shame to cover up a glorious attack.
"Are we gonna go?..." Tucker asked.
"You wish to look at this wreck?..." Maurus asked.
"It's such a waste leaving all these beautiful droids half-destroyed after briefly witnessing them being highly functioning works of art..."Tucker comments, really wanting to bring one of the abandoned droids in parts home for him to tinker with.
"Try not to get too sentimental with these robotics foot soldiers, tech wizard of earth. These mechanical pawns are nothing more than manufactured machines that are simply made and designed to be servants and cannon fodder if needed..." One of the elite veteran boudacian warriors told Tucker.
"Besides, it's not as if they have any form of sentience, free will, wants, needs or even a crippling fear of death. That would just be ridiculous and maddening for any respectable boudacian roboticists to program in them..." Another high ranking boudacian veteran added.
The techno geek then looked back at all the half functional and destroyed droids and robots that were just following their preprogrammed commands, which resulted in some surprising responses from the bots.
"Everything is going dark..."
"Why are pain receptors a primary function in our programming system?!..."
"C-can't...move...M-motor processing functions failing..."
"S-so...C-cold..." The bot said, before shutting down.
The Boudacian couldn't believe somebody actually programmed those things into their bots.
"We really need to have a talk with the software department..." Milee muttered, wondering who even had that idea.
"This talk will probably lead the software department to go on strike or something...or not. I'm honestly not sure if aliens from another universe run businesses the same way that humans do on earth..." Danny commented, unsure how boudacians do tech business on Boudacia.
All but Tucker looked away, for he was saddened to see these robots like this. This caused him to realize that this feeling he felt must be how Sam feeling about whenever she gets motivated to protest about animal rights and nature.
"I'd sympathize with how Sam feels more if they were works of art like these..." He thought while his best friend pulled his arm impatiently.
"We don't have time for this! Come on, we have a wedding to crash and a so called groom to give an overdue reality check!..." Danny said, ready to save the day and his girlfriend.
"Time to bring back order to the Boudacian Empire!..." King Maurus shout to his faithful soldiers, mainly to remind everyone in the group that he was leading this charge.
Now, to the grand temple they go.
Meanwhile
The wedding continued and the grand priest read from their ancient texts.
"How much longer is this going to take?..." Brutis grumbled in impatience.
Even though he rewrote some of the lines, but the show had to go on. Especially if all the best warriors were in the room.
"As you both are to be bonded in wedded bliss, let us open the chest of Connubiam..." The priest said as he opened the chest.
Inside of it was a golden, jewel-encrusted collar and golden necklace.
Both had matching jewels on it, heirlooms used in weddings for generations. It was during these ceremonies they would see the light, allowing their metals to shine like the stars.
Mandie had always wanted to see it, but not on who she's with right now.
"Danny would look so much better with that..." The princess thought as she imagined Danny wearing the necklace.
"Now the bride and groom are to join hands..."The priest said relunctantly.
Mandie grimaced as Brutis forcibly took her hands in his .Even this much physical contact with him made her ill, and it got worse as the grand priest continued with this farce of a wedding.
"Now, Lord Brutis, do you take our princess as your lawfully wedded wife and consort and the title of King of Boudacia, for as long as you both shall live?..."The grand priest asked the alien princess.
"I do!..."Brutis said in a half loving, half smug way as Mandie kept glaring at her.
"I'd rather marry a gelatinous swamp Schlurch..."The relunctantly bride thought, nauseated at his words.
As if this couldn't get any worse, it was soon her turn. Before anything was said, the doors flew open, their echoes booming in the temple as everyone turned to see Dieana panting as she leaned against the entrance.
"BRUTIS!..."Dieana shouted like a madwoman, looking ready to attack.
"Dieana?!..." Brutis exclaimed, furious.
"I OBJECT!..."She yelled, as she readied herself to attack.
One aimed directly at Mandie.
"DIE, YOU MAN-STEALING UNGRATEFUL LI-..."
Her ice blade was caught by Brutis, who effortlessly threw it and the one holding it away, causing her to hit the doors of the temple.
"Fool! What did you think to accomplish?!..."Brutis said cruelly, as his spurned admirer frowned.
She was tired, evident by her struggle to stand, covered in blood, droid oil, and tattered clothes. The weapon she used dropped from her hand as she took a deep breath.
Standing up, she tried to walk. Her steps were wobbles, but her voice was clear.
"You were suppose to marry ME, Brutis! Was everything I did for you not worthy enough!?..."She screamed in a deranged way, no longer caring that every other Boudacian learned the truth of her betrayal.
Mandie could see the sorrow flooding in the girl's eyes behind all the rage she projected. Even in this despicable setting, the princess could not help feeling sorry for her ex-handmaiden, seeing another victim of the traitor's ambitions.
Brutis, on the other hand, felt no such pity. Just antipathy towards her.
"Yes. Your efforts were instrumental, but why should I aim for an arm, when the head and heart shall be mine?..."Brutis said, as he took his hand and grabbed Mandie's face as if she were some sort of object to be shown.
Mandie sent him a death glare.
"Jerk!..."She thought, wishing for an opportunity to wipe that smirk off his face.
He eyed the ex-handmaiden, seeing her still walking up to the steps. His malicious grin fell in annoyance, letting go of the princess.
"You said you needed me! That I was the most useful to you! You made me think you loved me!..." Dieana shouted.
"And yet, you fell for it, even though it was obvious that you were merely a servant and nothing , your delusions are boring me now..."Brutis snapped his fingers. "Perhaps time in the dungeon maze will help you learn your place...if you survive the beasts..."He said, while Dieana snapped.
"YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE WITH ME!..."Dieana shouted as she rushed towards them with her ice sword, ready to tear them to shreds.
"Guards!..." Brutis ordered, pointing at Diena as he and his followers tried to subdue the deranged alien woman.
Seeing Brutis distracted, Mandie got an idea. With no-one noticing, she manages to sneakly pickpocket something from Brutis's belt without alarming him
"This can be useful..."She thought as she hid it within her bouquet.
She also swiftly took the time to search her bouquet for something else she had in it before her groom or anyone else noticed.
She found it, holding it in her hand as Diena's sword was broken to pieces by Brutis space shield.
"Brutis..." Disable said in a pained tone, while he looked at her life she was worthless.
"Let me make this clear... on a scale of 1-10... you're barely a 5. Mandie is 100... that's how obvious it is I'd chose her over you. Now get out of my sight!..." Brutis shouted as he backhanded her without enough force to render her unconscious.
With Dieana restrained and knocked out, Brutis dusted his hand clear of her. Brutis then took Mandie's hand again before turning to the grand priest, looking peeved off.
"Continue the ceremony elder, without any other interruptions or your order will join her in the maze starting with the younglings!..." Brutis threatened, making the priest gulped loudly.
"It's not his fault that she interrupted..." Mandie thought, eye rolling.
The grand priest nodded, sending an apologetic look to Mandie. One that she returned before he continued.
"Now...we we were?...if the bride and the groom would join hands for the sacred binding..."The priest said ignoring the comments.
Brutis and Mandie joined hands, Mandie cringing at this act again.
"Wonderful..." Brutis said.
"Now, do you, Princess Mandie, take King Bru-gah!..." The priest stopped talking when Mandie pulled a knife out of her bouquet leaping back.
He got hit on the head by the hilt of a knife hidden in Mandie's bouquet.
Startled, Vlad, Brutis, and his loyalists saw Mandie brandish another knife as she dropped the bouquet and aimed the knife at Brutis.
"Mandie?! What are you doing?!..." Brutus questioned, feeling insulted.
"Did you REALLY think I would EVER marry you?!..." A disgusted Mandie snarled.
"…kinda?..." A flabbergasted Brutus responded.
His "bride" merely scoffed loudly.
"The old me would never marry a weakling, the new me would never marry a madman, and both mes would never marry you!..." Mandie declared resolute.
Brutis snarled in rage at being rejected once more.
"Then Boudacia will have a NEW royal family!..." Brutis exclaimed as he raised his arm.
"If you think your threats will work on me, your even stupider than I thought!..." Mandie said.
"Your family and that Troq you love will die today!..." He yelled, about to press the gauntless.
Only to see it was gone.
"WHAT THE HECK?!..." He shouted, only to see fit in Mandie's hands.
"So not happening!..." Mandie said as she stomped on it.
"The gauntlet?!..." Brutis yelled.
"Yeah, you really need to pay more attention when your around an enemy..." Mandie mocked.
"You think I'm worried. Did you really think I'm foolish enough to just have ONE means to destroy those pests!..." Brutis yelled, as he pulled out a remote.
"This remote has a fail safe in case something happened to the gauntlet, with a single button pressed, I will destroy those pests and get things in my favor again..." Brutis said, ready to press the button.
Seeing this, Mandie quickly threw a small disc that was hidden in her dress, which attached itself to the remote.
"I don't think so!..." Mandie shouted.
"WHAT!?..."Brutis exclaimed before the device started sparking.
"Best let that thing go before your hand burns..." Mandie warned, while looking smug.
"What did you do!?..."He yelled, as HR dropped the remote that now disintegrated.
"I disabled your little toy. Now you lost your bargaining chip…"Mandie said with a smirk.
"Which means now I can do this!..."She yelled as she then punched him in the jaw, sending him flying several yards away.
"Ow!..." Brutis let out, pushing himself up.
"Hmm... your muscle mass increase has helped... you flew 3 yards further the last time I did that..." Mandie remarked scornfully.
Brutis got on one knee, angered at being rejected once more. So much so that Mandie's hand was looking better as a trophy on his wall than in marriage.
"Stop disrupting the ceremony woman and give up , that you are outnumbered, alone, and powerless before m-Gah!..."
His head was thrown back with a loud, nasty crunch before he grabbed his broken nose, feeling blood flowing out from it. He looked at Mandie, who was holding one of her fists that now sported threads of her dress chains like brass knuckles.
"Outnumbered doesn't mean outmatched…" Mandie said with a smirk as she stood ready, knife on the right hand and improvised brass knuckles on the left.
But as she took a step forward, a beep was heard. Another device was activated, meaning another trick. There was only one person smart enough to conceal a last minute twist.
"You forget, princess. I still have mine…" Vlad said as he confidently strode forward, hands and eyes glowing brightly.
Mandie gasped out of shock. On instinct, her knife was thrown at the remote, fast enough to overwhelm Vlad's reflexes as the gauntlet was slashed off.
The halfa seethed at the cut the blade left, and grew angrier when a foot hit his stomach.
It hurt even more than Danny's ghostly beams. Not to mention, that it also left a visible boot print on his suit.
"You just made a poor choice, princess..." Vlad said, angry.
"And what would you call this wedding?..." Mandie said with a smirk.
"Touche. But those will be your last words now…"Vlad said, as he cracked his knuckles.
"I beg to differ. I'll remember this for the rest of my life..." Mandie said, finding herself enjoying this.
The warrior princess twirled her knife like a baton and then got into an improvised battled stands. Brutis and Vlad glared at her before they rushed her at the same time.
Brutis tried to punch her, swinging his arms wildly, but Mandie easily swerved his swings before she gave him a small cut on his left arm, making him flinch back from surprise, giving her the opportunity to deliver a strong kick to his gut, sending him rolling down the aisle
Vlad appeared behind her and tried to grab her, but she ducked and spun around, and used the momentum to throw a punch at Vlad's abdomen, making him double down in pain, giving Mandie a chance to punch his face, sending him crashing to the altar.
"What are you fools waiting for!?..." Brutis exclaimed to his minions as he held his gut.
"GET HER!..."He ordered.
His men all rushed towards Mandie, who jumped towards them, kicking one on the face and grabbing his spear and used it to smack four men away from her before she spun her weapon around as the men surrounded her.
However, most of the loyalist guards were very cautious of the princess, since they all fully aware of her capabilities and feared for their own lives. Seeing them smart enough to stay away, Mandie say another opportunity to give Brutis a burn.
"They're even less pathetic than you! And yet, I would rather they marry me than you!.." Mandie said.
Brutis watched in rage as his men were fallen like prey.
"I'm in control of our empire! I have your parents as hostages! I'm handsome and from a family that has been loyal to yours for ages! I'm breed from the finest nobility and genetics in Boudician history. I'm also incredibly wealthy with an impressive military background. WHY WOULDN'T YOU MARRY ME?!..." He yelled in an unhinged way.
Mandie just sent him an ice cold glare.
"Because I don't love you and I never will! Also, you don't have my parents or my love as hostages anymore!..." Mandie said, now being the one with a trick up her sleeve.
She gestured to what was Vlad's gauntlet.
Mandie pushed a button on the crushed gauntlets, the one that controlled the nanobots within the former rulers, the half-ghost and his other prisoners.
"My last gauntlet?! No! You realize what this means now?!..." Brutis shouted darkly, while Mandie smirked.
"Yes, a much FAIRER fight!..." Mandie said as the battle broke out again.
"Curse her devotion to the one tradition that kept me from claiming her hand!..." Brutis snarled, too furious to remember he had no better chances of beating her in a fair fight than before.
"Now, where were we before this farce of a wedding?..." Mandie asked rhetorically, stalking closer to him.
"Oh, I remember now... I'm going to break every bone in your body!..." She said, hair ablazed again.
"We'll see about that, Dearest..." Brutis said, angry to see her reject him once more.
The dastardly misguided boudacian nobleman had a few hidden weapons on his person and his wedding suit of armor.
"Still desire me?..." Mandie questioned sarcastically, while Brutis glared at her.
"I have desired you so greatly, yet you prefer death to my hand! So be it! You will regret it so badly that the only way I will accept you is if your literally crawl by my feet!..." Brutis shouted.
"In your dreams!..." Mandie said, ready to beat him again.
"You betrayed my family, did a coup, threw my parents and boyfriend in prison, enslaved my citizens and want to blow up my boyfriends planet because he beat you in a fight! When I find the chance to decapitate your head, I won't be keeping as a trophy , but I'll throw it in the trash! Where it truly belongs!..." She yelled.
"I'd like to see you try, your highness!..." Brutis yelled, still refusing to accept any of this as his fault.
Once the former bride and groom began to charge at one another to gain the advantage of striking the first attack. While that happened, the doors to the boudacian wedding temple were suddenly burst opened.
"Mandie!..." Danny said, as they broke in.
"We're here to-..." Maurus was cut off as they saw that the battle was already taking place.
And Mandie was doing well. They also saw all the damage and many enemies had fallen, as well as several injuries on Brutis and Vlad.
Mandie saw them and gasped in relief.
"Danny?! Mother?! Father?! And Danny's friends and sister?..." She asked, surprised to see them here too.
"Great…she's doing fine..." Sam grumbled, only to receive glares.
"I mean...we're here to help..." The goth girl said, swallowing a bit of her pride from saying that before aiming her weapon.
"Why do I get the feeling that she only corrected yourself after being judged by everyone else?..." Mandie thought, as she did a roundhouse kicked one of Brutis supporters.
"Looks as though you have done well, daughter..." Maurus said, pleased to see she is dealing with these traitors.
"But let us help, please. It is important these traitors realize WHY we're the King and Queen..." Milee said, cracking her knuckles.
"Okay, but I got Brutis here..." The princess said, as she did a twist around another of Brutis supporters who tries to attack her from behind.
"Keep the army at bay!…"The princess said, as she took down another traitor.
Mandie's parents were pleased and Danny looked enamored.
"Awesome!~..." He said in admiration.
"You can fawn over my daughter later, Now, we take back the Boudacian Empire, as well as tear these traitor limb from limb and drink from their skulls!..." Maurus ordered in annoyance.
"He's right! Time to battle and victory! Soldiers attack!..." Milee ordered.
"For the true royal family and Boudica's freedom!..." Trechero and his men all shouted as they all joined them in battle.
"Long live the TRUE royal family..." Private Stomp, said as he aimed his weapon.
"CHARGE!.." All of them went, ready to battle.
"About time..." Danny said with a smile as he joined in as well.
The Boudacian soldiers, that were under Brutis's side, were stuck inside and were also stilk part of the battle within the wedding temple. But were soon about to be overwhelmed by the unlikely ragtag group of heroes of King Maurus, Queen Milee, a half ghost super-powered teenager from Earth, some high ranking boudacian veteran warriors, other faithful boudacian soldiers and a few human teens from Earth too.
"This is going to hurt, isn't it?..." One guard said.
"What were you expecting it to feel like? A back massage?..." The guard next to him questioned, like he's dumber than the green-haired creature that used to assist Turner.
The halls echoed with cries of warriors, pain, rage, and possible death as weapons clashed. A symphony of war that would not stop till death did these warriors part.
With Brutis's loyalists guards having already had a rough time keeping up with Princess Mandie, they were all getting outmatched by the King and Queen's recounting army, despite having the greater numbers.
"My army!..." Brutis shouted in anger.
"It's over Bruty, give up!..." Danny said, making his way towards the altar.
Two guards tried to jump him, but swift reflexives allowed Danny to grab and crash the warriors together without breaking a sweat..
"Bruty, I thought his name was Berty..." Tucker said Danny before leaning over to Sam.
"This one you can shoot..."The ghost boy said.
"Gladly..." Sam said, ready to ready to fire at will and rage and there was no will to hold her rage.
"My name's not BRUTY!..." Brutis roared in anger.
He would have torn his hair out, but he settled for the idea of Danny's instead. However, Brutis never got the chance to get close to the half ghost boy.
Once Jazz blindsided the wannabe King with a lucky shot that nearly stuck him in one of his eyes, but left a noticeable scratch on his face instead.
"That's for kidnapping my little brother, Creep!..."Jazz said, pointing at him menacingly.
"Just for that, you will be among the Earth women who will clean out the stables!..." Brutis yelled, pointing at her in an equally menacing manner.
"That's what you think!..." Danny called out, getting his attention and causing Brutis to see he wasn't in a position to act defiant any longer.
A yell from the usurper and a droids flew up to intercept the ghost boy. However, a spherical shield formed around a few, shrinking in size, compacting the machines and creating a hole.
Danny flew into the breach, firing wave after wave of ectoplasmic rays, defeating the wall in one sweep as he landed on one knee.
With the last of the droids and Brutis' supporters down, the heroes turned to the remaining opposition in the room. Brutis was now in a panicked state and turned to his ghostly ally for more assistance.
"Plasmius, destroy these pests!..." Brutis ordered.
Vlad, who now had more than enough bar-brawling with extraterrestrials to last a whole year, eagerly followed that command..
"Gladly!..." Vlad said, as he activated the nanites forcing those infected onto their knees.
"ARRRGGHHHHH!..."Danny, Milee and Maurus all yelled.
"DANNY?!..." Jazz, Sam and Tucker all yelled.
"No! How?! I destroyed the gauntlets and the remote!..." Mandie yelled, while her hated suitor laughed like a madman.
"Correction, you destroyed A REMOTE. Did you really think I'd not have a spare?..." Vlad mocked, while his ally laughed in triumph.
"Yes, you fools! Kneel before the power of Brutis, the great king of Boudacia!..." Brutis cackled in a deranged way, feeling his delusions of power returning to him again.
Mandie panicked.
"Stop! Please stop!..." She said in desperation. "I'll do it, I'll go through with the wedding, just please stop!..." Mandie pleaded, worried about her beloved and her parents.
"Ha! You think were dumb enough to fall for that trick again. Think again, Princess..." Vlad said, while Brutis didn't seem to even hear Mandie now.
He was too busy enjoying seeing his enemies scream in pain. It was a delight to him.
"The lives of these beings are in the palm of my hands and at the mercy of my Power!..." Brutis dramatically added, while Vlad simply rolled his eyes at the alien noble's attics.
"What a windbag..." Vlad thought, as Brutis reminded him of Technus with how much he rambles.
Hearing that gave Danny an idea, it was risky but he had to try something before he and Man dies parents were destroyed.
"Your power?!..."Danny said, as he managed to stand up despite the pain.
The nanomachines were increasing their output, but he kept a stiff upper lip. Slowing navigating his body to stand up, despite the extreme levels of pain within his body, and not dropping to the floor from his own body's weaken state.
"You're only winning becaase you can't take us in a fair fight. All this is Vlad's doing..."He pointed to Plasmius, who stood tall with a grin.
"What?!..."Brutis yelled, both shocked and insulted that the earthling hero would dare to claim such a thing.
Danny continued to implement his plan. It was a bit of a longshot but the ghost boy felt pretty good about the odds of this plan working in their favor.
Especially with someone who's ego even eclipses Vlad's.
"You hear me, Dorkus! You're going against the rules of your own people. I thought Boudacia only had the strongest as their king..."Danny challenged, getting attention from everybody.
Smiling at her beloved's strength, Mandie saw the crowd murmuring to themselves from her position. She saw the warriors who had helped the coup show their disbelief and doubt. For all their loyalty, they were still among the proudest warriors of her people and would have the old ways followed.
No matter who the strongest one was.
Generals, councilmen, and any government official were all here at the wedding, and though they were fighting the resistance, their valor diminished as they leaped back.
The princess saw where her beloved one was going to and had to help Danny out.
"That is true!..."Mandie yelled.
"That has been the way, and that same way you are fighting for is being throw away like a rusty spear!..."She added, speaking loud and clear so that everyone can hear her words.
"Be quiet!..."Brutis sneered.
"Why? You tell me you're here to bring back tradition, yet you disregard it in favor of a definite victory. Are we not warriors?!..."Mandie said, as she raised her voice.
"Is the outcome of a battle what we choose? Do fight only to ensure victory or because our pride has never let us go without a fight!?..."She challenged.
As Mandie spoke, Brutis saw his allies soak in the girl's words. Soon, his own men stopped fighting, laying down their arms as they saluted the princess.
"She is right..."One of the councilmen, Lord Scul Fractailor, spoke up.
"Warriors do not have a say in the outcome of battle, but when we fight, a true Boudician will give everything he or she has, victory or death!..."He said, now siding on a more neutral stance with Boudacian traditions then with Brutis.
Soon enough, more and more Boudacian soldiers, guards, elites, commanders, generals, lieutenants, captains, counsel men and government officials relinquished their respective weapons and items on battle.
Now the battle was dying down. Maurus and Milee watched as the traitorous forces began ceasefire, looking to their would-be-king.
A smirk came to the wolfish king's face as he and his wife shared a smile. Standing up, they defied the pain and poison of the nanomachines, eyeing Brutis.
"Its true. The one rule that has seen through Boudacia's past and will continue onward towards its future, is that the TRUE King must one who's strength raises above all others and wield that strength to guide Boudacia into glorious and purposeful destiny..."Maurus said, speaking and presenting himself far more nobly than he ever did before.
"They are right, you are just a huge coward. You act like you're the top dog that you beat me but you didn't. Vlad gave you the nanobots, Dieana was the one who poisoned Mandie's mom, your robots kidnapped me and you did a sneak attack to knock on Mandie's dad and without even giving him a chance to fight back. You didn't do anything for yourself!..."Danny yelled, still in so much pain but didn't waver for a second.
"I bet dollars to doughnuts that Vlad was the one who came up with this plan in the first place!..."The ghost kid accused.
" Well, he is not wrong about that..."Vlad admitted, while Brutis glared at him.
"Not helping!..." He snapped, but everyone kept listening to what Danny was saying.
"You're just a moronic opportunist who cheated his way to the thrown just to king!..." Danny yelled, as he ignored the pain and smirked at the mad wannabe space king.
Brutis growled, grinding tiny bits of his teeth into anger filled foam like substance.
"You insolent mutant whelp! You don't have any idea what you're talking about!..." He shouted furiously.
"What would you know about besting one's enemies in honorable combat?! What makes you think you deserve TO BE KING OF MY EMPIRE?!..." The madman shouted.
"I don't know about being a king but I beat you before and I did it without putting nanobots in someone's bloodstream..." Danny said with a grin, ignoring the pain he was in.
"Enough of this!..."Brutis yelled, before turning to the citizens. "I am the king. Obey me and destroy them!..."He ordered.
The crowd was silent. Everyone glared at Brutis, who could only growl. Danny walked up, the crowd splitting to let him through.
"If you're their king, then prove it..."Danny said, holding himself together.
"Fight me. No nanomachines. No tricks. Just you, me, and whatever weapons we choose. I'll even hold back on the ghost powers, if you're too scared...Mandie beat me once, why not you?..." He challenged.
Brutis growled, looking at Danny and his friends. He spotted one of them. He had an idea, smirking at Sam
"You! Gothically dressed troq girl. I know all about you and how this abomination spurned your loyalty and love for someone beyond his reach. Take your weapon and destroy him. Do it and I'll appoint you as a position of honor in my empire..."Brutis offered.
Those loyal to the king and queen were disgusted at Brutis' blatant cowardice, trying to have someone else do the dirty work. Maurus growled, expecting the gothic human to take the cowards deal and thinking she was a traitor the same as Brutis.
"Coward..."Maurus said, appaled
Those gathered around were offended on the goth girls behalf and disgusted with Brutis' offer but were curious to see if the troq would kill their kings challenger.
However, Sam took her blaster aimed and fired. Brutis flinched as the wind was knocked out of him.
"OOOAAAFF!..."He yelped, not expecting Sam to react that way.
Mandie saw this and smirked.
"Nice shot..." She complimented.
"Uh...thanks..." Sam said as she didn't expect a compliment from her.
"Wow I didn't think this guy could get any dumber..." Tucker said.
"Mandie must have hit him one too many times in the head if he thought that would work..." Danny added, knowing the while he and his friend were on rocky terms right now, she wouldn't never in a million years take that deal.
"You wretched little primate, how dare you harm your better!..." Brutis yelled, stomping his foot.
"My better?! You kidnap my friend and try to get me to kill him because you can't beat him in a fair fight and you seriously think you're my better?!..." Sam asked pointing at Mandie.
"I don't like her for the times she kidnapped my friend but I hate you a lot more than her right now..." Sam said, being honest with her opinion..
"So that explains her reaction to me..."Milee thought understanding. "Still, a lecture on assessing the situation before fighting is still in order for the young warrior..." She also thought, not wanting her to interfere with Mandie's relationship with Danny.
"Plasmius!..." Brutis yelled, before turning to Vlad.
"What are you waiting for?! Turn the remote to full power!..." Brutis demanded.
"Well, I wanted to enjoy the show a little more, but I suppose there's no choice..." Vlad said, as he picked up the remote.
However, he soon realized he didn't have it and gasped.
"Wait, where is the remote?!..." Vlad shouted, not seeing it.
"Looking for this..." Tucker said, as he quickly opened the remote, destroying it and apparently rendering the nanobots useless.
"How did you get the remote?!..." Vlad demanded.
"One of the advantages of being ignored by you, is stealth..." Tucker said, as he smiled.
Danny, Milee and Maurus, now free of the nanobots effects, got up and quickly nursing the inner pains they were all feeling from the tiny cell sized machines.
"I'm very impressed, young tech wizard..." Milee said.
"At least now nothing will stop us from continuing to dish out punishment to there unworthy warriors!..." Maurus said begrudgingly, since he was more concerned about fighting the enemies.
"So, what?! I still have one last more remote to render all of you helpless under-..." Vlad said, only for it to be knocked out of his hand when Sam fired her favorite ghost hunter weapon.
"Oh fudge cookies, topped with cheese logs! Why the fruit jelly does all this funny stuff happen to me!? Forget my life! Always surrounded by miserable failing clods! It's like this whole world just likes to bend me over and find me in the worst condition possible! Well as far as I care, these miserable cows can have a field day for all I care!..." Vlad shouted out of frustration, yet still only swearing with family friendly words.
"Mouthy fool! Be quiet and help me get this wedding back on tra-...ARRGGGHHKK!..." Brutis said, only to be blasted by Sam again.
Sam looked to Danny, nodding to him.
"Can you kick these creeps butt already so we can go home?..." She asked.
"I second the notion..." Mandie added.
"Gladly..." Danny said, punching his palm.
"You heard the ladies! Are we fighting or is King Shag Carpeting throwing you in prison?..." He shouted.
"How dare you?! I have THE most beautiful locks of hair in the entire Boudacian Empire! These cost more than your entire country's wealth!..."Brutis roared, being defiant while being at the mercy of an angry goth girl from earth with a lot of emotional baggage she's been bottling up.
"No one cares, you egotistical royal pain!" Sam shouted with a sense of ease, after harming the overly confident alien noble.
"I'll remember your pale face, you earth wench...!" Brutis shouted at the smirking goth girl.
"And after today, I won't even give you a second thought!..."Sam smugly taunted back, earning a brief moment of respect from Mandie.
Before Brutis knew it, Vlad was applauding sarcastically.
"Well... this has been fun and all... but I should, as the young folks say, jet..." Vlad said.
"What?! Do something!..."Brutis commanded as he turned to Vlad. "This boy is your enemy!..."He shouted.
"And yet, he challenges you!..."A soldier yelled from the audience.
"First you try to have a child fight your battle, now this blue skinned troq! Are you a warrior or a sniveling pup?!..." Another shouted.
Brutis' forces were getting antsy their leader was challenged and yet he was stalling.
"Even Turner managed to defeat the Yugopotamians in a fair fight. What about you and this half ghost hero from earth, sir Brutis? Have you no pride as a warrior?" One Bouducian soldier shouted.
Brutis didn't like where it was going.
"Silence! I am your rightful king! And don't you mention that another earthling Turner from the other universe, he is certainly no match for me!..." Brutus shouted back to his soldiers, who were starting to question their respective loyalty to him.
"Are you TRULY rightful?..." One asked.
Brutis grew angered at being looked down as Danny took advantage of the situation.
"I don't know who this Turner guy is but he's definitely a better warrior than you are..." Danny said, throwing a punch that knocked Brutis onto his back.
Brutis growled, losing what little grip he had left. He ran towards a box by the wall and grabbed the last spare remote, aiming it at Danny.
"DIE!..."He said, pushing a button on Vlad's remote for the nanites but nothing happened.
"What's the matter with this primitive contraption?!..." Brutis shouted, as he hit it twice but nothing happened.
"Are you expecting the nanites to work while we were fighting?! My friend Tucker hacked Vlad's system when he had the spare remote and remotely shut down the nanites! They are all gone now..." Danny explained.
"Cowardly hypocrite, you challenged me and had this hat wearing troq interfered!..." Brutis shouted, trying to get the people on his side but no one not even his own followers were with him.
"Gee, I don't remember you throwing a punch in this fight. Do you, Tuck?..." Danny asked sarcastically.
"I don't remember either but what do I know. I'm just a hat wearing troq, whatever that is..." Tucker said with sass. "But weren't the rules no using nanites to win..." He asked in faux curiosity.
"That was agreed upon, young warrior..." Milee said before glaring.
"Yet Brutis cheated...which means he automatically is disqualified..." She added.
Suddenly, all but few supporters were booing at Brutis. Those who were still supporting him kept quiet as to avoid being outnumbered.
"Dishonorable!..."
"Get off the throne!..."
"You are no true warrior!..."
"And that will be my cue to leave..." Vlad said as he teleported away.
Brutis scowled as even his own supporters turned on him, leaving just a handful who secretly slunk away in shame.
"Lock him up!..." Someone shouted, a previous fangirl of Brutis.
"Launch him out of a cannon!..." A soldier yelled.
"Off with his head!..." A random citizen from the back shouted.
Brutis began to sweat as he rocketed away, figuring a strategic retreat was the best idea right now.
"This isn't over!..." Brutis shouted, as he used his jet boots to escape through the air.
"Did he just leave?..." Danny said, unable to believe he just ran away.
Mandie frowned in disgust.
"Not surprising, he was always a coward who'd boast when he was sure he could beat someone but would find an easy way out or take credit of another's victory..." Mandie said with her arms crossed in anger.
"Indeed, we really need to reevaluate how we rank our soldiers...and not just in skill..." Milee said.
"Agreed..." Maurus said before snorting.
"Since Brutis left before completing the challenge, he automatically forfeits...which makes Danny Phantom victor..." Maurus said, looking upset since it technically means he has a right for the throne if he wanted it.
"Which means Mandie and her folks are on charge again..." Danny said surprising the beast king.
"Wait? Really?..." Maurus asked, surprised.
"I don't want to run an empire, especially one that was stolen..." Danny said, showing his honorable side.
Maurus frowned, but it lessened a bit and while a mild shrug.
"You are more honorable than I gave you credit for..." Maurus said, trying hard not to show respect.
Mandie saw Danny do this and swooned.
"Didn't I tell you he was perfect?..." Mandie asked her mother, who nodded.
"I see it..." Milee said, impressed before she went back to matters at hand.
"Citizens of Boudacia, as the true king and queen of this planet, I order everyone to unite and capture that so slimy infidel Brutis and all his followers...dead or alive! Anyone caught aiding him will face the wrath of the role family!..." Milee said, raising her fist.
All of them cheered as the hunt began.
"Finally!..." Mandie said as she immediately tore off her wedding dress, revealing her regular outfit underneath it.
"Wait...you wore that under your dress? Wasn't it uncomfortable?..." Jazz asked, confused.
"Compared to being forced to stand with Brutis at the alter, this is nothing..." Mandie said, glancing in scorn at that remains of her wedding dress.
"Which reminds me...and at the risk of looking petulant and un-royal..." Mandie started before pointing at her father's face.
"I TOLD YOU SO!..." She yelled into his face, having waited to do this for so long.
Maurus groaned loudly while rolling his eyes as his daughter kept pointing at his face with a stabbing motion involving both hands.
"Yes... you did... you were right. Can stop now?..." He asked.
"No! This is a long time coming!..." Mandie stated_ as she continued her actions.
"Milee?..." Maurus questioned.
"She's right, you know..." Milee went, siding with her daughter.
Maurus grumbled as this continued on.
"I told you so! I told you so! I TOLD YOU SO!..." Mandie yelled with such force that it even sent her father to hit the ground.
"Are you done yet?..."Maurus asked.
"Not even close, but I'll finish this later. Right now, we got a traitor to destroy..."Mandie said, ready to get revenge on Brutis for everything he has done.
She then turned to Danny and had one more thing to do. Something she has wanted to do all day.
"But first..."She said as she grabbed Danny.
She planted a kiss on him, while everyone watched. She even dipped him during the kiss. Danny's eyes were initially wide before he kissed her back.
"MUAH!~..." Mandie said, upon parting.
Danny had a dreamy look and blush on his face, while Mandie sighed.
"I was almost worried I'd never get to do that again. So glad that's not the case..."She said, holding him tight since it was comforting after the kind of day she went through.
" Uh..I'm glad that's not the case too..."Danny said with a chuckle, before they heard someone clearing their throat.
"Daughter, enough. We have a traitor to arrest. Kiss your mate-to-be later..." Milee said, but there was a hint of amusement in her tone.
"Oh, I will..." Mandie said, as she sent Danny a loving look.
Danny blushed, while his friends and sister watched. Sam, however, was seething right now but also knew this was not the time or location.
"I'll wait until we're home..." She thought, fists clenched but she knew they had other matters to attend to.
Like find an alien jerk and get payback.
"Come on, time to stop Brutis for good..." Danny said, while his girlfriend and everyone else were ready to hunt him down.
With Brutis
The disgraced alien nobleman was still running away, desperately trying to rationalize what just happened.
"This can't be happening. My plan was foolproof. What could've gone wrong? It couldn't have possibly been MY doing. Someone must have sabotaged me!..." He grumbled as he flew towards his ship.
He knew that Mandie, the earth freak and every other Boudacian was probably in pursuit. It didn't take long to know he wouldn't like what they would do to him.
So that only meant that he didn't have much time to waste.
He needed to get away until he could return to conquer the empire again and also to avoid a sudden execution by the people who now wanted him death.
"I need to find an opening to escape as soon an opening is made. Darn it, why didn't I agree to finance that teleportation technology when I had the chance?.." He said, but was left speechless as he saw his ship taking off without him.
"WHAT?! Who dared to fly in my ship?!..." Brutis yelled, as he rocketed up and saw Plasmius in the cockpit.
"PLASMIUS, YOU DARE TO BETRAY ME?..."Brutis said in an acidic tone.
"It's nothing personal Brutis, but it was clear for all to see that your plan was destined to fail..." Plasmius mocked, smirking as he pulled out another remote and activated it.
It caused Brutis to fall to his knees in sheer pain.
"What?! H-...How?..." He yelped.
"Oh, those are just some nanites I had secretly implanted in you..." Vlad said, as activated into the would be king forced him to his knees.
"Young Mr. Foley wasn't aware of this remote..." Vlad said, showing it off.
"Though even if he was, I doubt he'd deactivate your nanites..." He said cruelly, as he slightly increased the power.
"AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!..."
Vlad shook his head as Brutis roared in horrible agony.
"Oh, quit your bellyaching, you spoiled little brat. It's on the lowest setting and I only SLIGHTLY raised the level. Daniel's tolerance for pain is miles above yours..." Vlad said, mocking Brutis as he deactivated the nanites.
"Why?!..." Brutis growled.
"Why have a native sit on the throne while I rule in secret from the shadows?..." Vlad asked in a mocking tone.
"It's chess dear boy, the pieces of less worth are always played first..." He said, waving his hand dismissively.
"I'll destroy you for this!..." Brutis swore, snarling in anger.
"Oh stop whining, at this setting, the nanites won't kill you...I programmed them to wear off in five minutes...which gives me more than enough time to head back for home before tea and cookies. Oh, and thank you for all this wonderful alien technology. I'll be sure to make good use of it. Engage hyperdrive..." Vlad said, taking off by voice commanding the escape pod/ship to head back to earth.
Brutis watched in horror as his ship sped off at light speed, leaving him alone. He scowled, pounding his fist into the ground.
"You aren't the only one who planned to betray the other, Plasmius..." Brutis chokes out as the horrible pain he surprisingly planned ahead was atrocious.
He pulled out a radio-like object, then quietly typed in his new orders.
"Activate...ship's self-destruct mode...and make sure that traitorous abomination never gets to see his precious earth again..." Brutis said as he activated the explosive detonator in the back.
With Vlad
The evil halfa put the ship on autopilot, as he took this moment to relax. He had just left Boudacia's atmosphere and decided to take out that Boudacian fruit wine bottle that he stashed in this ship ahead of time, out of precision.
"I really should trip in style like this more often. maybe for my honeymoon with Maddie, after Jack and Daniel are out of the picture..."He said, as he tries to uncork the alien fruit wine bottle.
However, Vlad overheard a beeping and his eyebrows rose before he scowled back to Boudacia. Until the cork strongly popped out of the bottle and bounced rapidly across the inside of the space ship until it eventually hit Vlad's eye.
"GAARRGGHH! Oh, butter biscuits!..."Vlad shouted, until he heard more beeping and then realized the ship was about to self-destruct and realized who must behind this.
"I underestimated him..." He said phasing out of the ship.
Vlad's remote to control the nanites was left in the ship when it blew up, destroying the last link to the nanobots all together.
Back on Boudacia
The pain soon stop and Brutis got up, groaning as he did.
"Caped buffoon should think twice...before double crossing a double-crosser..." He said, before recalling his predicament.
Brutis's small seemingly victory over Vlad didn't last long, as he was still at a very unfavorable position right now.
"I need to think fast..."He thought, knowing that he was out of time.
Mandie was almost here, and she and her mutant abomination would destroy him.
He scowled, deciding it was time to use his LAST resort.
"There was only one option left..." He thought, deciding if Mandie won't be his, then she will be with no one.
A planet would be conquered today, it just wouldn't be earth.
"There is no way I will let let that freak sit on MY throne..." Brutis thought, fist clenching.
Pushing his belt buckle, he activated his droid army giving them a single command.
"Destroy Boudacia...and all but myself, my loyalists and Mandie of the Royal Family..." Brutis ordered, wanting no prisoners.
"Order accepted..." The droids said, something that brought a smile to his face.
Brutis pulled his biggest and most wicked grin yet. If Boudacia would not accept him, he will make it bow to him or they would bow to no one!
All he saw, he would conquer and destroy. He will make this universe bow to him or be wiped out.
Starting with Boudacia.
