Court

Chapter 15: Strong V Plasmius

After about five minutes, Team Phantom (and Misty and Valerie) got their snacks and sodas, and Star was about done with her phone call with her mother.

"Sure, Mom. Okay. Bye..." Star said before hanging up.

"What did your mom want?..." Danny asked.

"Nothing huge. She and Jean-Puke are going to speak with some lawyer later and she wants me to watch over Pierre while they deal with that..." Star said, indirectly reminding them of the trial soon.

"Oh..." Danny and the others said, recalling how things were still tough for Stella's side of their family.

"How is she?..."Valerie asked, and Star sighed.

"She's trying to act like she's okay when she's not busy cleaning up Psycholette's mess. Though I know she's anxious about the trial. And even I can't really blame her, to be honest..." Star sighed, as a part of her still pitied her mother.

"At least she finally accepts the truth about that brat. I just feel bad that it had to happen like this..."Sam said.

Everyone nodded, sharing the same sentiment. They knew it shouldn't have been that hard, but they all knew that Stella's denial couldn't have lasted for long. The atmosphere around the teens got a bit quiet for a brief moment. Despite the tension and awkwardness, they continued with the story.

"Okay, so...my Dad had just called Vlad to the stand and let me just say that everyone was surprised by that. Including us..." Star said as she continued with the tale.


Story

"I'd like to call...Vlad Plasmius...or Vlad Masters to the stand..."Johnathan announced, surprising the entire courtroom, including Team Phantom.

"What is Dad doing?..." Star asked, surprised.

"I wish that I knew..." Danny said, just as shocked.

However, none more were at a loss than Vlad right now.

"What could he possibly want?..."The Fruitloop thought, wondering where this was going.

He wasn't the only one either.

"Dad...what are you-..." Star tried.

"Trust me..."Her father said as he glared at the evil man who merely shrugged in response.

"I suppose that I might as well..."Vlad said, deciding to play along for now.

"Be careful, Dad. This guy's the worst of the worst..." Star warned her father, who nodded.

"I'll be careful, Princess. I promise..."Johnathan said before he started interrogating.

All the while, the rest of the courthouse watched with fascination over what was about to happen.

"This is going to be good..."Zoren said, smirking.

"Indeed. It's about time someone taught a lesson to that wretched Plasmius..."Frostbite said, still angry at him for trying to steal the Infi-Map all those months ago.

"I do so hope that Sir Phantom and Lady Star's father will be alright..."Queen Dora said in concern, knowing how troublesome Plasmius was.

"Don't worry, Phantom and his friends will be fine. They have managed to do well so far and have a great lawyer. One who even carries a warrior's spirit within him..."Pandora said.

"Indeed..."Frostbite agreed with a nod.

"This is getting exciting, don't cha know..."The Dairy King said cheerfully as they continued to watch. While Team Phantom was still worried about some things, especially about Johnathan's sudden summoning of Vlad to the stand.


With Danny and his friends

"How's the plan coming?..." Danny whispered. "I don't doubt Walker will try to play executioner if things don't go his way..." He added.

"Which they aren't..."Sam muttered.

"I'm still working on it but it's not as easy as you think. The security level around this place is seriously no joke. I'm blocked..."Tucker whispered back to them.

"What do you mean blocked?..." Star asked.

"Some kind of weird interference is blocking me. Like someone just upgraded their security system's firewalls...almost like-..."Tucker looked to Vlad who smiled at them. "He did it..."He added with a frown.

"Of course, the fruitloop would make things purposely difficult for us..." Danny grumbled.

"Why am I not surprised?..." Star grumbled, but she hoped her father could buy them some more time by cross-exanimating Vlad.

"Are you saying that you can't just override its systems or something?..."Sam asked.

"Unfortunately, no. It's like the mother of all firewalls. I still need time to work my techno-magic. So, what I really need is to keep everyone's attention away from us. Especially me..."Tucker whispered back.

"Good news. It looks like Star's Dad is still doing a good job of doing that for us..."Sam said as they continued to watch him interrogate Vlad.


With Johanthan

He was ready to stand hard at the overly confident smirk on Vlad's face. One he hopes to wipe off when he wins Danny's case.

Johnathan had never had anything to do with Vlad Masters directly, though his law firm occasionally did work for his businesses or the town. Johnathan didn't think much of it at the time, but had he known about Vlad's secret double life as a supervillain, then that would have been a much different story.

"Not sure how to break it to Jack that the friend he practically worships is a monster. Poor guy..."Johnathan thought, deciding to put that aside for now.

Watching the scenes of Vlad Masters and his relationship with Danny assured him that Masters was garbage.

He witnessed the day when he first revealed himself to Danny and officially started their rivalry, along with the many times he fought Danny, staging a plane crash so that Danny and Maddie would have to parachute into the Colorado woods, conveniently where his mountain chalet was. He attempted to get rid of Jack, then tried to ask Maddie to leave her husband in such a despicable manner and how Maddie predicably rejected him.

"Is he serious?! And I thought Jean-Puke was shameless!..." Johnathan thought in anger and disgust as he continued to watch these scenes.

He continued to watch more, such as how he treated his clones/children that he made in his underground lab and sent them on a risky mission. All so that one of them, named Danielle, could gain Danny's trust and stab him in the back. Then there was him giving Valerie an artifact that the ghost king was looking for to save his own skin and put a target on Valerie's back.

His attempts to melt Danielle, and his utter callousness, something that nearly lost his lunch and his composure. Johnathan also had to suppress his desire to wring the man's neck. And that didn't stop as he watched how Vlad cruelly infected Tucker and Sam with ecto-ache in order to blackmail Danny into finding a cure, as well as how he locked up Danny and Star in their school with a dangerous beast, and Johnathan's anger got worse and worse.

"Disgusting!..."Johnathan thought in anger, as he noticed the evil half-ghost clearly had no remorse for any of his past actions.

Lies...thefts...manipulations and many other truly terrible things.

Vlad Masters/Vlad Plasmius clearly was not a good man, all because of what was a genuine accident that he knew Jack felt genuine remorse for. The same could be said with Maddie, who while she didn't care for the man, she begrudgingly accepted him for "saving" Danny's life. Which was something he put in harm's way in the first place along with the thousands of people who lived in Amity Park.

This was only what affected Danny and those close to him. Heaven knows what else there was that this monster was guilty of.

"Mr. Masters. I have a single question for you..."Johnathan began, trying hard not to attack him now for what he witnessed from the orb.

"Stop being so dramatic and just get to the point..."Vlad said with disinterest in the proceedings.

"Very well. How long after the accident, that you claim ruined your life, was it before you saw the Fentons in person again?..."Johnathan asked, trying hard not to lose his temper now.

"Twenty years, what's your point?..."Vlad asked, not caring.

"Twenty years, huh? That's quite a long time to hold a grudge over an accident..."Johnathan said to the billionaire, still glaring at him.

Hearing that struck a nerve with Vlad, who had an ugly scowl on his face.

"It was no accident! That fat idiot purposely tried to get me out of the way with that accident! HE RUINED MY LIFE!..."Vlad loudly rebutted.

"I find your statement very contradictory..."Johanthan said as he decided to add salt to the wounds that Vlad had spent decades refusing to let heal.

"Do you believe that Jack Fenton's actions were purposeful or the byproduct of a mistake? One or the other. It can't be both. And what about Maddie Fenton? What was her role in this quote-unquote accident?..." Johnathan asked, wanting to hear his so-called excuse.

"My Maddie would never hurt me. She was deceived by Jack Fenton and foolishly settled for him when she could do so much better. Such as me..."Vlad insisted while Johnathan resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

"Geez, what an ego. Bigger than Skulker's, Technus', and the Box Ghost's put together..." Danny grumbled.

"True. I'm surprised that his castle could even contain his overly inflated ego of his..."Star muttered, and the others agreed with her while her father continued to interrogate Vlad.

"If you truly believe that it was a purposeful attempt on your life, what evidence do you have? And if you think that it was an accident, then why have you refused to move on by now? I can understand being angry that you were sent to the hospital but you had decades to move on and yet you still refuse to do so? Why?..."Johnathan asked while Vlad kept digging his own grave.

"I can't move on! Not while the person who ruined my life and stole my youthful chance with the love of my life! Maddie was mine!..."Vlad said vehemently.

"I've talked with Jack and Maddie a lot, and they mentioned that they had already been a couple during college. And Danny even mentioned that they started dating during their first year of college...and yet your accident happened during your second year, did it not?..."Johnathan asked.

"Your point?..."Vlad asked.

"Jack and Maddie clearly were already in a relationship, and yet you claim that he stole her from you...when it's obvious that you were after your best friend's significant other and love interest..."Johnathan said, seeing right through him.

He absolutely detests cheaters and homewreckers and Vlad fits both categories. Vlad, however, still saw himself as the victim and refused to accept the truth.

"Maddie would have eventually left that fat oaf for me soon enough. Once she saw that I was the better man for her, and yet he scarred me because he knew that I am her soulmate!..."Vlad snapped.

"He really is delusional, isn't it?..." Star said with arms crossed.

"No kidding..." Danny said, glaring at his foe.

"You can say that again..." Ember and even the other ghosts agreed.

Vlad hated this and got agitated.

"Enough! That fool ruined my life! And like father like son, Daniel has continued to target and torment me, and destroy and take away what's mine!..."Vlad snarled.

"That's rich coming from you, Fruitloop! All you have done is make mine and my friends' lives difficult since I first met you!..." Danny sassed, while Vlad growled at him.

Johnathan then scowled while the Observants tried to have order in the court again.

"It's funny how you keep bringing up how Jack Fenton and Danny are the cause of your quote-unquote misery. And yet YOU who were the one stupidly placed your face in front of an experimental portal when it was still in its testing phase, and again, while you can arguably have a point in being angry over being sent to the hospital, that doesn't excuse the fact that you took a risk in the first place. One that you could have easily avoided that accident by simply moving away from the experimental portal? Am I correct about that?..."Johanthan pointed out.

"THAT WASN'T MY FAULT! THAT IDIOT WAITED UNTIL I WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF IT! I JUST KNOW IT!..."Vlad yelled.

"Give it up! My dad didn't do it on purpose, and you know it! It was an accident and he felt bad about it! He even paid for your hospital bills yet it took you 20 years to actually talk to him face to face again. And even then it was to DESTROY him, you maniac!..."Danny yelled at his foe.

"Like father, like son. Both of you are nothing but thorns in my side!..."Vlad snapped.

"Order! Order!..."The Head Observant said, while the guards tried to stop Danny and Vlad from making this a real fight.

Once things calmed down, Johnathan continued with his cross-examination.

"You believe yourself to be the victim and was betrayed by the one who you once called your friend, Plasmius?..."Johnathan asked, frowning.

"I am. All I ever wanted was love and a family of my own...and that fool stole my youthful chance with my one true love and his son continued to torment me and reject me when I kindly offered to take him as my own son and make him my heir. I offered Daniel training, power and all my wealth ahd yet he still chose to side with that fat idiot over me!..."Vlad said in anger.

"Perhaps because Danny genuinely loves both his parents, including his father and the fact that you still don't understand that is baffling..."Johnathan said with a frown.

"Excuse me?!..."Vlad said in a threatening tone, but Star's father continued.

"You believe that you are an unfortunate victim and unfairly had your life ruined...and yet you have nothing against betraying others and trying to ruin lives just to get what you want..."Johathan said, referring to those memories they all recently witness.

"Even after you recovered from the accident, you could have started your life over. Maybe gone back to college if you truly wanted to. And yet you felt the need to clear out entire bank vaults, putting countless people into poverty and YOU even used your powers to overshadow business owners to sign over their hard work for practically nothing and reap in the profits. And go as far as to resort to BRIBERY as well, such as when you asked me to drop the case less than five minutes ago..." Johnathan said, and Vlad received dirty glares from his enemies.

"Tattletale..."Vlad muttered in annoyance, but Johnathan just continued.

"All of that is already bad...but what's wrong is that you were the one who knowingly manipulated and betrayed your so-called children and their destruction is on your hands. And then, to make matters worse, actually tried to MELT down your last remaining child for your own insane research. All just so you could clone Danny and use the perfect clone as a minion that would do your bidding!..."The lawyer said to Vlad, while the villain didn't seem the least bit remorseful as he heard this.

"Your point?..."Vlad asked with annoyance.

Johnathan scowled.

"Twenty years. That's how long you brooded and let avarice, greed, and envy guide your actions. That instead of looking around at what you had, you wanted what others had? Money, power, and another man's wife and children that weren't yours. You could have easily moved on and found someone else who might actually tolerate you and yet you keep complaining that you are miserable and alone...not accepting the fact that you made yourself that way. The only one responsible for your so-called miserable life is you and your decades of stewing in your bitterness and lashing out against everyone and anyone who remotely cared about you..."The lawyer said, maintaining his composure but sounding serious as he spoke.

"You are the only one who ruined your life, not my client or his father. And yet you still refuse to accept that and move on..."Johanthan added.

Vlad clenched his fists, about to lose his temper. However, he thought fast and got an idea to tease this lawyer and get under his skin.

"You know, I can understand why you'd say that. After all, what you're after is very tempting..."Vlad said smugly, as if he had just realized something.

"What are you talking about? What am I after?..."Johnathan asked, wondering what he's talking about now.

"You refuse to see it but you and I aren't that different, Strong. Revenge and power. I suppose that I can understand the appeal of that sentiment. The fact that you are going this far to help the little badger, even after all the lies he told you and how he tricked your daughter into a relationship..."Vlad said.

"Danny never tricked me into anything! I love him for who he is!..." Star shouted at him.

"What are you up to now, Plasmius?..." Danny said, not getting what he was talking about.

"I tip my hat to you, Mr. Strong. You're quite the chess player, but not that good. I suppose that you think that if you somehow manage to win and keep this little act of playing the supportive father figure, the little badger would be in your debt and your control, you could have him do whatever you want. Like say, ensure a certain proprietor of wine had a tragic accident with you, all so that you could get back what was stolen from you..."Vlad said, truly believing Johnathan had ulterior motives and wanted revenge.

"Is he serious?!..." Star thought, her face turned red with fury at what Vlad was implying that her father was only pretending to like Danny so that he could use him and get back at Stella and Jean Puke.

She didn't like Jean-Puke and still had a complicated relationship with her Mom, but she didn't want either of them to get hurt. Johnathan also looked disgusted at what Vlad just said and thought of a counterattack.

"Like what you'd do..."Johnathan said, hoping the fruitloop would take the bait.

"Yes exactly..."Vlad answered, only to see the looks he was getting from everyone else.

"What?..."The fruitloop asked, only to see an angry look on Johnathan's face, though it also seemed to be disappointed for some reason.

"You want to know what's truly pitiful? You seem to actually BELIEVE what you just said..."The lawyer said, shaking his head.

"What are you talking about?..."Vlad said, not understanding Johnathan.

"I'm talking about character. I'm not like you, Plasmius. I have no interest in power taking what isn't mine. Or using people like they were pieces on the chess board. I'm representing Danny as his lawyer, since I sincerely believe he doesn't deserve to be jailed and because I don't want to see an innocent kid's life be ruined because of an overzealous warden who believes the law is just a tool to use as they want..."Johnathan said, ignoring the glare Walker was sending him.

Vlad's face turned a brighter red out of frustration, but Star's father wasn't done yet as he kept rubbing salt in his wounds.

"Also, Jean-Puke is a scumbag, but I am not going to waste my time with him. I have better things to do than waste my time on a worthless grudge, such as properly raising my daughter and giving her the best life I can...and getting closer to the new love of my life instead of being fixated on the past just because my marriage ended badly. I'm not petty or pathetic enough to let my past control me and warp into someone like you do. Grow up already, Masters..."Johnathan said, striking another nerve in Vlad.

"Petty?! Pathetic?! How dare you?!..."Vlad said, furious.

"Pretty easily. Also, you've ignored the biggest reason Maddie Fenton will never be with you..." Johnathan said, getting the attention of the evil half-ghost.

"And what is that?!..."Vlad demanded, smoke practically coming out of his ears right now, much to the amusement of his enemies.

"She doesn't want to..." Johnathan replied plainly. "Any other reason she has would be icing on the cake..."He said while Vlad looked like he was about to lose it.

Danny and his friends all nodded they understood that, while the ghostly jury almost seemed impressed that Star's father managed to take Vlad down a notch like that.

"I couldn't have said it better myself..." Danny said, genuinely impressed while Star smiled proudly at her father.

"That's my Dad..." She said with a smile, glad that her father managed to put Vlad in his place.

"I think that wraps up this little cross-examination. I have nothing else to say to the likes of him anyway..." Johnathan thought.

Vlad was silently angry that Johnathan Strong turned the tables on him. Being reminded that Maddie wasn't his, or that she didn't want to be, made his blood boil.

"No further questions..." Johnathan said, satisfied with Vlad's answers.

"Oh and for the record...I like Danny for being Danny Fenton and because so far, he's been a good influence on my daughter. Not because there's a chance I could use his powers for my own personal gain. But you wouldn't know what's that like. Liking and caring for other people without looking to gain anything. You don't even care about Mrs. Fenton, because if you did, you would have respected her wishes and left her alone..."Johnathan then said while Vlad frowned.

"It is true. We sense no deception in his words. Every word that Johnathan Strong has spoken is sincere..."The head Observant said, as he hammered his wooden gavel.

"Strong!..."Vlad growled under his breath.

"I almost pity you, Masters, for living such a regretful life. But it's like I said, you could've easily avoided it if you just let it go and got out of your own way..."Johnathan said.

"You will regret this!..."Vlad snapped a feral look on his face now.

"Oh. I'm shaking..."Johnathan said sarcastically, making his daughter and her friends laugh.

"Nicely done, Father of Lady Star. Truly a glorious verbal battle within the house of ghostly law..."Frostbite said, impressed.

"You are indeed a great attorney of noble caliber, Sir Johnathan..."Dora smiled.

"Not bad, Blondie's dad. Not too bad at all..."Amorpho complimented as he tipped his hat.

"Indeed, Mr. Strong is a true champion of honor. One that would be important to reach out to..."Pandora said, making a mental note to hire him as her lawyer if she ever needs one.

She wasn't the only one thinking that as Amorpho even offered Johnathan one of his business cards so the two of them could keep in touch before the lawyer continued with the trial.


Present Time

"HAHAHHAHAHA! Oh man, your Dad really is good! He really got to that Fruitloop, didn't he? I really wish I could have seen the look on his face!..."Val laughed.

"Trust us! It was better seeing it in person!..." Danny said with a chuckle.

"Totally!..." Star agreed with a giggle before the others laughed too.

"Yeah. I kind of want to hire him as my attorney, if I'm ever in need of one that is..."Sam admitted, hoping she wouldn't need one though.

"Anyway, there's more. Apparently, Walker and Vlad weren't the ONLY ONES who were starting to lose it..."Tucker said, as they continued with the story.


Back to the story

Johnathan had just told Vlad the truth that the evil half-ghost still refused to believe, and even the jury was impressed at how he managed to take Vlad down a notch as he was now adding Johnathan to his list of enemies.

"That attorney is a serious problem for us..."Vlad said as he went to Walker, sounding angry.

"Tell me something that I don't already know. If I'd have known the punk had access to a lawyer, I'd have rethought this whole plan..."Walker said, frowning while the other ghosts were still impressed by what they just witnessed.

"Nice. I love a man with a backbone..."Spectra said with a dreamy sigh.

"Just give it up, he's never going to go out with you. I have evolved past my emotions and I, TECHNUS, CAN SEE THAT!..."Technus said, getting a glare from her.

"One more word and your scrap metal, you hear me!?..."Spectra said, still angry over what happened earlier with her true age revealed and Bertrand's betrayal.

"I'm shaking in my boots, witch!..." Technus replies to her, his tone dryer than a piece of toast.

Ember laughed, which caused Spectra to glare at her.

"Hey, I thought you were supposed to be on my side! I thought we were friends!..."Spectra complained.

"Technically, Kitty is my best friend. You're just an acquaintance at best that I only hang out with, since Kitty always feels sorry for leaving you out of the fun..." Ember said, shocking Spectra.

"Excuse me?!..."Spectra shouted, before Ember shrugged.

"I don't really have a positive opinion of you, since you're a vain witch that tells teens what to do and I'm not a fan of that. Plus, you're a little bossy..." Ember said with a shrug.

"Traitor!..." Spectra growled.

"Get over it! At least you act useful during our schemes to tolerate hanging out with. Though not by much..." Ember sassed.

"Looks like they are turning on each other. Good, because things might get complicated sooner or later..." Danny thought as they all started arguing while the guards tried to stop them.

All the while, Danny's allies kept preparing for the worst possible outcome, though his allies still had hope that things will turn out fine.

"At this rate, the Great One shall be declared innocent for sure..."Frostbite said heartily.

"One large pizza says that the master of being a loudmouth can take on Ms. Needs-Attention in the next 5 minutes..."Amorpho said, referring to Technus and Spectra.

"Oooh, I'm in! A chocolate sundae for dessert is on the greaser's shadow attacking the wannabe duke of dream!..."Zoren said, smirking.

"What a pointless waste of time. Waiting to see which weakling can defeat another weakling. I'd rather grab something to eat instead..."Virgato said, arms crossed.

"Indeed. Unless they're trained warriors, watching a fight between weaklings isn't that much fun. No matter how much they should be pummeled. Still, I wish that we could have grabbed a bite to eat..."Pandora said, feeling a little hungry right now.

"I might just have the thing for that, Miss..."Dairy King said before he summoned some ice cream.

"You could do that this whole time?..." Pandaora questioned the Dairy King, who nodded.

"Sure can. Want some?..."He offered.

"Ohh...mint chip...my favorite..."Pandora said as she grabbed a cone.

The other good ghosts did the same, while the jury was staring, as well as Team Phantom.

"Don't think I forgot about you kids? Try the rocky road, it's dairy fresh..."Dairy King said, as he summoned some ice cream for Team Phantom as well.

"Thanks. And just in time for my 2:05 feeding..."Tucker said as he took some ice cream.

"Sorry. I'm an ultra-reclyclo-vegetarian. And that means I don't eat anything that comes from animals..."Sam said.

"It's soymilk ice cream. Made with organic ingredients..."Dairy King said and Sam perked up.

"Oh, why didn't you say so?..."Sam said as she enjoyed the ice cream like the others.

"Here you go, Boo?..." Star said, as she gave him some.

"Thanks, Starlight..." Danny said, while Walker got annoyed.

"OBJECTION! We're still in trial! This ain't a baseball game! Are you going to allow him to do this?!..."Walker demanded, as he yelled at the Observants.

The same ones who were also eating ice cream that were offered to all of them from the Dairy King earlier.

"I see nothing wrong with taking a short recess now. Also, there is technically no rule against the Dairy King summoning ice cream here..."The head observant said.

"He's right. Not a single rule in the book..."Johnathan said, as he enjoyed some ice cream too.

"Note to self. Add a new rule against that later..."Walker grumbled, and Johanthan raised a brow at that.

"I wonder what he meant by add a new rule?..."He thought, as he enjoyed some of his frozen treat while he kept glaring at the warden.

However, the other ghosts were also wanting ice cream, especially since some of them are Danny's enemies.

"Can I have some?..."Box Ghost asked, while the Dairy King glared at him.

"You stole all my boxes of dairy fresh gouda last Fall and have the nerve to ask me for some of my ice cream I made myself?! Seriously?!..."The Dairy King said with a frown, while the Box Ghost shrunk.

The Lady glared at him, due to being overprotective of the Box Ghost right now.

"DON'T TALK TO HIM LIKE THAT, YOU JERK!..."She said in angry mode, while Dairy King frowned.

"Madam, pardon my French but I was merely pointing out your boyfriend's unacceptable behavior against one of my ghostly establishments. Also, at least I don't need to THREATEN people to try out my food..."He added, while Danny snickered before he realized what he just said.

"The Dairy King has business in the Ghost Zone?..." Danny thought, having never known that.

The Lunch lady glared at the Dairy King before turning to the box ghost in an affectionate manner.

"Here. Want some cookies? I made them fresh this morning..."She offered him some cookies that she summoned.

"Thanks...Edith..."Box Ghost said, while the Lunch Lady blushed when he said her name.

They both processed to playfully feed each other cookies, both having blushes on their faces, much to the disgust of those around them.

"Gross!..." Ember said in disgust.

"Gross!..." Danny and the others said, gagging at the sight.


A little later

Soon, the unofficial recess ended, allowing the trial to continue.

"No more interruptions. I wish to end this before the next century. Ideally, right away..."The Head observant said, wanting to proceed where they left off.

Walker frowned.

"This is getting us nowhere. That's it, I'm telling Bullet to do it now. It's time for plan B..."He whispered under his breath, something Vlad heard.

"Let me know how I can help. I really want to take that self-righteous ambulance chaser down..."Vlad whispered to him, still having a grudge against Johnathan for earlier.

Walker nodded before he snorted in frustration. He then grabbed his walkie-talkie to contact his second-in-command.

"Oh no! What's he up to now?!..." Danny whispered to his girlfriend as the evil warden whispered into Vlad's ear before talking to his second in command about their backup plan.

"I don't know, but it probably isn't good..." Star said nervously.

Vlad also eavesdropped on Walker's private conversation with his communicator and smirked at what he heard.

Vlad also eavesdropped on Walker's private conversation with his communicator and smirked at what he heard. Walker had a smug look on his face, as he glared at the half-ghost boy and his allies.

"Now..."He thought as he felt like right now was the best chance and soon ordered his minions.


Present Time

"OMG! What did that spook do now?!..."Val asked, practically on the edge of her seat now.

Misty was the same.

"Yeah, what did he try to do?!..."Misty asked, wanting to hear more.

Danny was about to answer, only to suddenly hear a sound of thunder.

"Uh oh. Looks like it's about to rain..."Star said, concerned.

"My house isn't far from here. We can continue there..."Danny suggested as he and the others opened their umbrellas.

The others nodded and left to head to Fenton Works, to get out of the rain and continue their story.
