(Open POV)
Vlad's mansion in Wisconsin….
In Vlad's lab, Vlad has a Ghost Portal.
Ghost Zone…
There's the Skeleton Key floating in a glass case.
"Ah, there you are. The legendary Skeleton Key." Vlad said, in his ghost form and his arms crossed as he floats towards the key. A portal is seen behind him. "With it, I can open any door, travel to any realm, free any prisoner."
As Vlad floats towards the Skeleton Key a large ghost appears in front of him, blocking him from accessing the key. It roars at Vlad. Vlad's arms are still crossed and unfazed.
"And if you're the only thing standing between me and that…" Vlad said, looking upon the face of the monstrous ghost.
The monstrous ghost claps two of its hands together, squishing Vlad. The Behemoth looks at its hands and smiles triumphantly, only to change to a look of confusion as it opens its hands to find them empty.
At an empty part of the Ghost Zone, Vlad fades back into the visible spectrum, arms crossed. He raises his eyebrow, giving the monster a challenging look. Angry, the Behemoth leans forward, opens its mouth wide, and a fires a large purple beam towards Vlad.
Vlad sweeps up, forming a shield in front of himself and relaxing with his arms crossed as the flames go around his shield. The beam then stops blazing, and Vlad's shield shrinks and goes away.
The Behemoth reaches out with its upper pair of arms, bringing Vlad over to it. Vlad is trapped in the monster's hands. He laughs.
"This is going to be a snap!" Vlad yelled, his shape turns all white.
It lifts up in a flame that swirls in a circle and vanishes with a pop. The monster is confused, looking down at his empty hands.
At the monster's abdomen, a flash of white light appears and takes Vlad's shape. He bends down and charges his left hand with pink energy, turning sharply and uppercutting the monster. The monster roars and is knocked back, flying away with the force of the punch.
Vlad creates three clones, with the Behemoth looking right with each new clone.
The Behemoth slides to a stop. It opens its eyes, clenches its fists and roars at Vlad.
Vlad and his clones each prepare a different method of attack. The four Vlads spring into action. The first Vlad swirls its lasso and throws it away. The second Vlad shoots off eye beams. The third Vlad shoots off a hand beam, and the fourth Vlad also uses eye beams.
The Behemoth attempts to dodge the ecto blasts, barely missing two of them before being caught in the lasso. It struggles against the restraints. One of the Vlads grinning at the captured Behemoth before turning his attention to the unprotected Skeleton Key case. The remaining three Vlads (now all holding the Behemoth using the ecto-energy lasso) pull it closer to them as the fourth Vlad charges towards the Skeleton Key.
The Behemoth struggled against the rope and, pushing all four arms outwards, it finally managing to break free. It bends its body and flips its tail towards the fourth Vlad.
Vlad is smiling with evil glee as he flies swiftly downward, almost within arm's reach of the key. The Behemoth's tail swings into view, coming between Vlad and the key. It whips forward and hits Vlad dead-on.
Vlad's lab…
At Vlad's portal in his lab, as Vlad flies through it. Vlad bounces off of a lab bench, knocking everything off, and lands with a grunt against a wall. Vlad glares angrily towards the portal. The other three Vlads come out of the portal, flying uncontrollably towards the first Vlad. The three other Vlads fly into the sitting Vlad's chest area, a flash of light coming out of his chest and soon enveloping the corner in pink light.
At the Plasmius Portal, the Behemoth's head pops through the tiny portal. It tries to get its whole body through the portal but quickly stops struggling when it realizes it wont fit. The Behemoth looks forward, growling at Vlad. Vlad stands up.
"Very well, Behemoth." Vlad said, lifting his hands and they glow. "No more Mr. Nice Plasmius."
Vlad storms forward, fists glowing pink with energy, towards the portal where the Behemoth's head is still plugging the portal. He raises his hands to attack.
There's a flashing green light, the rotating alarm kind. It dings. There's a device with a black screen that reads 'Change Ecto-filtrator' in green letters. Below that is a gauge with four sections, under the green one reads 'empty' in red letters, the section turns to light red, redder and deep red where the black arrow is pulsing. Below the deep red section reads 'full' in red letters. There is also a clear, cylindrical container with green ectoplasm and some bubbles. As the alarm rotates, the screen turns from normal purple to green.
Vlad and the Behemoth both stare confused at the Ecto-filtrator. The monster flashes a cheeky, knowing smile at Vlad and pops its head back through the portal.
Vlad is looking at the ecto-filtrator.
"'Change the ecto-filtrator'?" Vlad asked, raising his fists. "Aww…" He lowers his arms with frustration. "…fudge buckets!"
Vlad closes his eyes and becomes intangible.
Outside Vlad's castle….
An explosion comes from the middle of it and it surges upward, breaking off parts of the house. It's left only with the lower floor and two small streams of smoke smolders as debris falls.
A cloud dissipates to reveal an intangible, frustrated Vlad standing in the ruined lab filled with debris, an exposed wire and a fallen shaft is behind Vlad. Vlad becomes visible again, he lets his arms relax as he looks around. He looks at the whole, ruined place in the middle of a field surrounded by trees, there's a small puddle of water near some other debris. Some smoke smolders.
Vlad looks at the destroyed lab, smoke covering the area. It dissipates to show a still intangible Vlad, looking tense with his eyes closed. He turns tangible and opens his eyes as the camera zooms out to show the lab.
"Aah!" Vlad said, looking up. "My house!"
There's a part of the lab with broken pipes, leading to broken stone walls and the sun shining overhead as smoke wisps out of the debris.
Vlad is holding his cheeks with his fists. He looks down and releases his fists.
"I can always buy another one…" Vlad said, putting his arms down and turns to the right. "…but the key!"
Vlad's lab is all busted and only half the wall is still there. An exposed wire fizzles a little lightning. A broken pipe drips.
"I can't get that key without a portal!" Vlad said, looking at the portal that is half-blown away, the rest an open wall to outside.
Smoke smolders from a tip from what is left of the shell. There's a small room behind the portal, but it's half-blown away and filled with cracks.
The portal has small beams of blue lightning fizzle inside it.
Vlad has his arms hanging in exasperation.
"I'll need to find another working one…" Vlad said, while his red eyes pop wide with realization. "I can assume Jared Shay has some working Ghost Portals on his airships protecting the Earth." He squares his shoulders and smirks, a black ring going over his body and changing him to Vlad Masters. "But they probably have Ghost Shields and heavily guarded by his super powered friends." Vlad looks into his suit, lifts the left side with his hand and uses the other arm to reach inside and pull out a photograph. "So they're unreachable by me." He looks at it with a toothy grin. "I'll have to go with Option B."
Vlad looks at the photo in his hand. It was taken at the college reunion. In the photo, Vlad is holding Maddie close with one arm and pushing Jack away with the other. Maddie is smiling nervously and confused at Vlad, Jazz is smiling at the camera, Danny and Jared are glaring at Vlad and Jack is looking confused.
Vlad is looking down.
"I guess I'll just have to take Jack Fenton's!" Vlad cheered, looking down at the photo again, just the part with Maddie with Vlad holding her toward him with his hand on her arm, Jazz just looking with a casual smile.
Vlad laughs maniacally and he looks at the part where Danny and Jared looks at him with irritation and Jack is being pushed away by Vlad. He looks at Jack's face.
(Jared's POV)
Casper High School…
"Thanks for driving me to school today, Jazz." Danny said, happily.
Danny and Jasmine are walking. People are at their lockers nearby.
"No problem, Danny." Jazz said, smiling.
"Yeah, sometimes it's nice to avoid the bus…" Danny said, flinging his arm back, closing his eyes, there are no more people behind them. "…and quietly and anonymously…" He puts his hand down and his eyes roll to Jazz. "…slip into school."
Danny and Jazz blink and look up in surprise as the screen flashes normal to red over and over.
"Ghost alert." The P.A. said, through a box on the ceiling. Two red alarm lights flash. "Ghost alert."
Danny and Jazz, along with some other students looking up in surprise. Jazz looks at Danny, Danny looks at her.
"Danny!" Jazz said, dropping her book and grabbing her brother by the shirt, he turns forcefully and his shoes are turned just above the floor. "Hide!"
Danny is being held by Jazz's hands.
"Why?" Danny asked.
Jazz is looking confused.
"Um…" Jazz said, looking down with a fake smile. "That's an excellent question!"
Danny is still being held by Jasmine. She releases him, and he lands on the floor safely, both turning to the left as if nothing happened. Tucker, Sam, and I walk up to Danny and Jazz.
"What's going on?" Danny asked, looking between Sam, Tucker, and I.
"Basically, it's bad." I said, crossing my arms.
"Didn't you get the memo?" Sam asked, holding up the memo. "The school's…" She looks up and shrugs, Tucker looks at her and smiles, and I look down at the floor. "…running ghost drills now."
"'Ghost drills'?" Jazz asked.
"Yeah. Ghost drills." I said, still looking down at the ground.
Danny, Jazz, Tucker, and I look at Sam. Sam points her right finger and the rest of us turn to look. Mr. Lancer is walking the halls as onlookers look at him with incredulity.
Mr. Lancer is wearing a hideous purple horned mask and is holding his hands above his head, "Oooooh...I am a ghost!"
Jazz points up a finger, "Who's that supposed to fool?"
"Your dad." I said, laughing a lot.
"Not funny." Jazz said, suddenly blinking with unpleasant surprise and closes her hand.
"GHOOOOST!" Jack said, angrily.
"I guess that explains why you didn't go with me and Danny today." Jazz said, retaining her pose.
"I knew your dad would do something embarrassing." I said, as Danny is looking with shock to the left with his red book under his arm and his palm open on his other hand. "Such as him thinking Lancer is a ghost."
"He's what?" Jazz asked, leaning backward and gasping as Jack is wearing the Fenton Peeler slides backwards from the left, covering his children. "Oh no."
Jack is holding the memo in his left hand. He turns right and points his right hand, Danny turns behind his father with his arm crossing over his chest.
"I just got the memo!" Jack said, wearing the helmet and his eyes shift around. "And I know there are ghosts around here!"
Jazz is behind her father's arm.
"Dad!" Jazz said, closing her eyes. "No!"
Tucker, Sam, and I are looking shocked. Danny walks up in front of us with his book and his hand out in front of him.
"It's not a ghost!" Danny said, while he half-closes his eyes and closes his palm. "It's an out-of-shape teacher in a mask!"
Jack is looking down, his eyes to the left.
"We'll see about that, son." Jack said, clenching his eyes shut and yells. "EAT GHOST PEELER, SPOOK!"
Jack's hand is on the handle of the peeler. His thumb gets off two red buttons and presses a button on the back, which beeps. A ball of green light surges from the space. It shoots out a huge beam, the screen flashes white.
Lancer is in his hideous mask, his arms out in shock. Three teenage onlookers witness without a care. The green beam hits Lancer and causes him to glow green all over, he tenses his arms in front of him.
"Nooooooo!" Mr. Lancer said, still wearing his hideous mask.
Lancer screams throughout as it peels off his face and is blown away in shreds. His shirt, it tears off him and reveals his hairy, not-so-manly chest covered in an undershirt. I looked down at Lancer's plaid pants. They peel away and reveal pink boxers covered with little faces of William Shakespeare. The green light dissipates and Lancer stops glowing, revealing his fat, his white undershirt, his pink boxers, and his hairy legs with support socks. Lancer stops screaming.
Lancer is looking completely shocked, looking down on his almost naked self. Four teens, one on each side, laugh heartily. Lancer reaches to the left and holds a golden-framed portrait of George Washington in a red military-style coat. He holds it in front of his underpants, full of fury.
There is a crowd of five laughing teens.
"I'll never respect his authority again!" A student cheered, pointing a finger at Lancer.
Danny, Jazz, and I are standing next to Jack's rather large, peeler-covered arm. Danny's face is buried in his palm. Jazz looks up in futility with a 'Please let this be over' pose. She opens her eyes and sighs.
"Should have stayed in the TARDIS with the Doctor, Vicki, and Steven." I said, moving my eyes away from Lancer and back down on the floor.
Jack is looking with his peeler-arm down, hand still on the trigger. Danny puts his hand down and looks at his father, dejected.
"Wow…" Jack said, looking down and smiling. "…he is out of shape."
Jack has his eyes looking down to the left. An irked Lancer walks up from the right holding the portrait. Jack's eyes turn to him.
"I can't give you detention, but someone named 'Fenton' is staying after school." Mr. Lancer said.
Danny, Jasmine, Jack, and I are looking with concern.
"Whoa!" Jack, Jazz, and I exchanged glances with the three of us taking out non-watch-covered wrists and looking at them. "Look at the time!"
Jack, Jazz, and I smile and rush away, leaving Danny, whose hair is blown back with the wind. He flips his head and shrugs. Danny has his blank 'Ugh, not again', expression.
Fenton Works…
The lab is a mess. Jack is sitting on a swivel chair, holding the Fenton Peeler in one hand and his other one on the messy counter, looking rather irked at Jazz, Maddie, and I. Jazz tries to reason with Jack and Maddie looking with her hood up.
Jazz reaches her arms out, "All I'm saying is you might want to think twice before you barge in like that. You really got Danny in trouble."
Jack is holding the Fenton Peeler in his hand.
"Oh yeah…" Jack said, raising a fist, pointing his thumb over his shoulder. "…you think he's in trouble now!"
"He's totally in trouble." I said, looking at the messy lab where the lab benches and everything on them are covered in ectoplasm and the garbage can is overflowing with rotten food and papers. Jazz and Maddie look around at the green-coated mess. "He might be expelled or suspended."
"Look at this place! Danny hasn't cleaned the lab in weeks, and the beakers are caked with goo and…" Jack said, pausing, looking intently to the left before whispering. "…would you look at that."
Next to the Fenton Portal, there is a device leading from the portal, overflowing past the fill point with ectoplasm as it pools on the lab floor. The Ecto-filtrator status box is flashing and beeping a warning signal as the arrow on the meter hovers over 'full'.
"The ecto-filtrator hasn't been changed in six months. That can't be good." Jack said.
Danny walks into the lab lugging his backpack, overflowing with books.
"And it'll be six more by the time I get done with all this extra work Lancer assigned me." Danny said, dumping his heavy backpack on the floor with a thud. Jack looks at it in surprise. "Dad…" He is rubbing the back of his neck with his hand and looks up at Jack. "…are you familiar with the term…" Danny glares and drops his arm. "'Stay away from my school'?"
"Danny's right, you could have made things harder for yourselves." I said, looking between Jack and Maddie. "Like making a competition for catching Danny Phantom and the Black Pearl."
"Jared does have a point." Danny said, looking at his parents. "It might go from bad to worse."
Jack is holding the peeler, looking completely clueless. Maddie is leaning in front of him.
"Sweetie, relax." Maddie said, pulling off her hood. "You know your dad loves you, and he doesn't mean to make your life and Jared's life more difficult."
A news theme plays, and a woman starts talking. Maddie turns her eyes to see where the sound is coming from.
"The hunt is on for the ghost boys!" Harriet said, on the TV.
I looked over at the whole Fenton family.
"What?" Danny, Jack, and I asked, at the same time.
I turned my head back to the ectoplasm-covered TV on a messy, ectoplasm-covered lab bench. The news is on. Harriet Chin is the news anchor, holding a stack of papers with a yellow box over the shoulder reading 'Eye on Amity' in black letters.
"As a result of today's false ghost alert at Casper High, the need for competent…" Harriet said, on TV.
The TV image fades to a video of the incident at Casper High. Jack is in the Fenton Peeler armor with the gun smoldering green smoke facing Lancer looking annoyed, covering himself with a portrait of George Washington. Students in the background are laughing hysterically, one of them is actually on the floor laughing.
"…non-Jack Fenton ghost hunters in Amity Park has never been more obvious." Harriet said, on TV.
Jack is holding the Peeler. He's smiling.
"Hey, they said my name!" Jack said, leaning back, confused. "Need for competent ghost hunters?" He looks up and thinks. "Hm…" Jack looks down at the peeler and points his finger at it. "…what is that supposed to mean?"
Jack pushes a button. It beeps and the Peeler sends out a burst of green goo, completely covering his face. He straightens up as the goo drips onto him the gun smoldering green goo.
"Basically, people are pissed and they want to replace you." I said, looking at the TV where Harriet is onscreen. "Nice going, Jack."
"Luckily, a mysterious benefactor has offered a million dollar bounty…" Harriet said, as the screen cuts to pictures of Danny Phantom and the Black Pearl flying. "…on the heads of Amity Park's most famous ghosts…" The screen cuts back to Harriet. "…and hired the world's best known ghost hunters to track them down."
I looked over at Danny, Maddie and Jazz. Jazz is on the right with her arms crossed looking rather unsure, Danny and I have our arms crossed too. Maddie, Danny, and I turn our heads from the TV screen, looking at each other with smug glances, Jasmine rolls her eyes toward us and smiles.
"Three, two, one…" Danny, Maddie, and I said, at the same time.
Jack jumps up holding a bazooka, knocking over stacked boxes overflowing with inventions in the process.
"Nobody's catching those ghost kids but me!" Jack cheered, walking away.
The boxes in the other stack start to rattle. They fall down, glass is heard shattering. Jack pops in from the right, pointing a finger at the pile.
"Danny, clean that up." Jack said, quietly and quickly before rushing away.
I looked over at Maddie, Danny and Jasmine. They all look toward each other, smiling.
Nasty Burger…
A banner is over the doorway and windows reading 'Welcome Ghost Hunters'.
"Danny, Jared, aren't you worried? These are the best known ghost hunters in the world!" Sam said, looking between Danny and I.
"Sam…" Danny said, scoffing. "…the 'best-known', they're not the 'best'."
"If anything, they're rip-offs of the best-known anyway." I said, looking at a trio standing next to their van.
It is Groovy Dude (Andy), Groovy Girl (Fran) and Scaredy Cat. The tiger is shaking, looking paranoid as its eyes shift left and right.
"The Groovy Gang and Scaredy Cat…" Danny said.
"They're a rip-off of Mystery Incorporated and Scooby Doo." I said, while Scaredy Cat suddenly jumps up onto the girl, and claws into her chest.
"Ah! Like, those are my internal organs, dude!" Fran said, terrified.
The cat whines again, and they both fall down.
Andy is staring in shock, "Jinkers, Scaredy Cat! You're like, maiming her!"
Street…
Two motorized vehicles rev and jump out from behind the trees, sailing in the sky across the clouds.
"Extreme Ghostbreakers…" Danny said.
"Totally a ripoff of the Ghostbusters." I said, watching the Extreme Ghostbreakers riding through the air on their vehicles. They skid to a stop in the Nasty Burger parking lot and high five each other. "Which I was a part of for a bit. And the Ghostbusters were way cooler than them."
"You da man!" Sullivan said, excitedly.
Brenner is looking frustrated.
"Actually, idiot, I'm a…" Brenner said, whispering. "…girl."
"Right! And that's so…" Sullivan said, revving the engine. "…EXTREEEME!"
Sullivan revs up his front wheel in the air, and it speeds off without him. He lands on his back; the girl looks down at him on her ATV. The male gets his head and chest up by his hands, and the girl looks forward, her ATV revving.
I looked at someone's white pants and suit, he was holding a gun in his black-gloved hand. There is an African American man, he has triangular sunglasses and a wire in his ear. He loads his gun and raises it.
"The government's ghost hunting squad, Guys in White." Danny said.
"Argh. Now they're not even trying. They're totally ripping off the Men in Black." I said, looking at the agents. "I really want to hang out with them someday. The Men in Black. They hunt down aliens. Not ghosts."
Sullivan's motorcycle revs, comes in from the left, circles around the Guys in White, bringing up mud and zooming away.
I looked at the chest of the Caucasian agent. Small patches of mud splash onto his shirt. Both agents have shirts dotted with mud; the African-American agent is holding his gun vertically.
"We have a cleanliness breach in Shoulder section Alpha." Operative O said, looking down at his suit.
Operative O turns his head to his partner.
"I'll fill out suit cleaning form #87B-Omega." Operative K said.
"I'll call our immediate supervisor to requisition detergent and fabric softener." Operative O said.
"And they are ripping off Agents J and K." I said, looking at the Guys in White.
"Lock the area down!" Operative O said, and both agents reached into their suits.
The agents drop two glowing, bright-cyan cubes. When they land, they begin to glow.
"They even fail at being badasses." I said, looking at the Guys in White and a half-spherical light-blue force field forms around them. "I love the Men in Black. But these guys, not so much."
Danny and Sam are smiling as I roll my eyes.
"It's a virtual 'who's who' of who can't catch ghosts." Danny said, while his fingers curled up, his eyes wide open with realization. "Which means he should be…" Sam and I stop smiling, Danny slumps his arm down and makes a sigh expression. "…arriving any second now."
Horns are heard honking. Danny and I look to the right, Sam straightens up, and looks along with us.
Nasty Burger…
Danny, Sam, and I are just standing in a far corner. The Extreme Ghostbreakers are there, the male with his motorbike and the female standing next to her ATV. They both turn and jump in surprise screaming, then quickly jump to the left as the Fenton Ghost Assault Vehicle runs their vehicles over.
Maddie has hood-down, sitting in the passenger seat of the Assault Vehicle.
Sorry about that!" Maddie said, raising her hand to her mouth to call out.
Jack is in the driver's seat, hands on the wheel.
"Wow." Jack said, leaning out the window of the Assault Vehicle. "You should be careful where you park those things."
Danny has his hands on his hips, smiling as he looks at his parents' Assault Vehicle. Sam and I are looking toward the RV as well.
"I've got nothing to worry about." Danny said, chuckling.
Tucker walks up to us, carrying a white sheet in his hands.
"Good. Then you won't have a problem with this." Tucker said, unfurling the sheet, it says 'BOO-Yea Tours' in green letters. Danny, Sam, and I look at Tucker with incredulous looks. "Thanks to Danny and Jared…" He puts on the sheet. "…we know the location of every ghost sighting in Amity Park. Tucker Foley's Boo-Yea Ghost Tours is bound to be a hit." Tucker reaches out with his arms toward the camera. "Boo-Yea!"
A blast of green, glowing goo completely covers Tucker from the left. He shouts out in surprise and braces himself for the impact. He lifts his goo-coated hands and looks down at them.
Sam has her arms crossed, "In retrospect, maybe dressing like a ghost in a parking lot full of ghost hunters wasn't a great idea."
Parking lot…
Danny, Sam, and I are standing next to the Fenton Assault Vehicle. Jack walks up with a gun in the air, smiling. Sullivan, Fran and Operative K walk up looking angrily at Jack, the men holding weapons of their own. Tucker is seen as a green lump of goo, with his hands out and looking at Jack.
"I got him! Me, Jack Fenton!" Jack cheered. "Danny Fenton's father!"
I looked over at Danny, with me crossing my arms. First Danny looks worried, and then his eyes droop down and look bored and disappointed.
Tucker is pulling off his goo-coated ghost costume. Agent K, Sullivan and Fran are standing around Tucker.
"I'm not gonna grow a third arm, am I?" Tucker asked.
The ghost hunters all break out laughing.
"No." I said, as Danny lifted his hand to cover his face. "This adventure will only get worse from here."
Sam, Danny, and I are face-palming through some red goggles. It fizzles a little, then shows a whole shot of the crows at the Nasty Burger, Tucker in the center with Jack, Sullivan, Fran and Guy in White near Sam, Danny, and I.
Vlad Plasmius is looking through a pair of red, pentagonal binoculars.
"Dance, you big, dumb puppet…" Vlad said, putting down the binoculars. "…dance."
Vlad is on a building holding his binoculars in one hand. Vlad's three ghostly vultures are roosting there.
"I don't get it." Vulture #1 said, turning his head toward Vlad. "If you just wanna steal the portal, why not do it now while the Fentons and their friend aren't home?"
"Dismantling that portal will take time. And while tearing down the portal, I can tear down young Daniel's respect for his father. Assuming he has any." Vlad said, his eyes narrow. "You know what to do."
The three vultures swoop down from the rooftop, flying towards the Nasty Burger parking lot.
Danny has his face covered by his palm. He quickly removes his hand in surprise as his ghost sense and my ghost sense goes off.
Nasty Burger…
Everyone is scared as a vulture's legs in the foreground close in. Everyone screams and runs off in different directions.
Jack is by the Assault Vehicle, running away from the vultures flying over him, a bazooka in hand. He ducks down suddenly as the vultures swoop overhead and call out. He stretches his arms out at his sides as Andy, Scaredy Cat and both Guys in White approach from the right.
"Stand back, everyone!" Jack said, excitedly. "I've got the home field advantage."
Jack lifts up the Fenton Fisher. He chases two of the vulture ghosts around the parking lot as the other three groups of ghost hunters watch.
Fran is on the left and Brenner is on the right.
"Like, those aren't the Million Dollar Ghosts!" Fran yelled, putting her fists on her hips.
"I really hate this." I said, looking at the Ghostbreakers.
"Then we should kick back and watch this. It'll be a riot!" Brenner said, angrily.
Sullivan takes one hand off his gun and does a sign language Y, "An extreme riot, dude!"
Brenner puts her hand on her hip, Sullivan turns to her.
"I'm a girl…" Brenner said.
"Right." Sullivan said, sadly.
The two vultures are flying and calling. They fly away. Jack runs down the sidewalk carrying the Fenton Fisher.
"All right, ghosts! Prepare to become the Fenton…" Jack said, lifting the Fenton Fisher over his head. "…catch of the day!"
Jack thrusts forward and the Fenton Fisher is heard casting off. The hook is flying through the air and catching latching on to one of the vulture ghosts. It turns its head around to examine it, and then is pulled downward to the left as the scene pans down with it. It calls.
Jack has both arms reaching out. He leans back into the shot and starts reeling in.
"Gotcha!" Jack said, excitedly.
The Vulture is being pulled downward, flapping wings and straining to keep itself flying. It is pulled away, but then flies back on its course.
"Here we go…" I said, letting out a sigh.
Jack is looking up with pride as he reels in the ghost, but yells out as he is pulled forward and is pulled away.
Street leading to the Nasty Burger…
Jack is being dragged by the vulture with his belly to the street as the vulture flies away toward the establishment.
Jack is sliding on the ground, hanging on to the Fenton Fisher.
"I think he's giving up!" Jack said, landing on the street, holding the Fenton Fisher.
Nasty Burger…
Jack slides until he lands face-first into the Nasty Burger drive-thru speaker, losing his grip on the fishing pole in the process. He looked at the head of Nasty Nat, rattling. It falls down, landing on Jack's head.
"Welcome to Nasty Burger." Someone said, through the drive thru speaker. Jack rubs his Nasty Nat-covered head. "Wow. You're the worst ghost hunter ever."
Jack is lying by the drive-thru with the Nasty Nat head on. Operative O, Fran, Brenner and Andy, are looking at Jack, from left to right. They all turn away from Jack and laugh hysterically, Fran's hands in her head, Brenner's hands on her chest.
Danny, Sam, and I, are overseeing the humiliation.
"Danny! Jared!" Sam said, looking at Danny and I, who facepalms again. "Do something!"
Danny has his face buried in his hands. Tucker is looking at him from the left.
"What do you want me and Jared to do?" Danny asked, removing his hand. "We can't go ghost here! Besides…" I looked between Tucker, Danny and Sam. "…nobody's in any real danger yet, right?"
"You had to say it." I said, and a vulture called.
Two of them swoop down from the right and grab Tucker and Sam by their claws, flying to the left past the Nasty Burger sign. Tucker and Sam scream in terror.
"And, now they are." Danny said, looking at me, before we walked away.
Danny and I are running past, Sullivan is laughing his hand on his helmet and looking down, Fran is laughing with her hand on her head, Andy is laughing, leaning back with his hands on his stomach. Danny and I look at the ghost hunters cautiously as they laugh, as we tiptoe on our course. Scaredy Cat and Operative O were also laughing as Danny and I walked behind the corner of the Nasty Burger.
Danny and I are running up from behind the Nasty Burger. We stop as a ring of light forms around us.
I closed my eyes, imagining Danny's leg as the ring passes over him and sinks into the ground, becoming white boots and black pants.
Danny's fists are high in the air. Rings pass over each one and dissipate, leaving white-gloved hands in their wake.
I opened my eyes and looked at Danny from behind as the rings passed over him. I know that my ghost suit is more simple and is similar to Ruby Rose's where it's more simplistic in nature. I looked at the back of Danny's neck, his hair is now all white. I smiled, looking at Danny's face to see all of Danny Phantom. I looked down at my body to see that I have now gone ghost and am wearing my ghost suit. Danny and I bend our knees low and take off flying with our spectral taisl up.
I looked down at the laughing ghost hunters again. Scaredy Cat is leaning with his head on the ground and his tail in the air, hand on his head. Operative O is bending over laughing with hands on his knees.
Danny Phantom and I swoop behind and past the ghost hunters, Andy and Operative K holding a gun up, Fran with her hands together, Brenner holding a gun in one hand and the other hand on her cheek. Maddie is looking concerned down at Jack, who is still on the ground. The Agent, Fran and the Ghostbreaker's devices beep, being the Agent and Ghostbreaker's watches and Fran's device in her hands. They and the Fentons look in surprise.
I looked down at the three ghost hunters with beeping devices.
"Ghosts!" The ghost hunters yelled, at the same time.
Jack is still on the ground. Maddie is comforting Jack with her hands on his shoulder.
"Aw…" Jack said, as his eyes look down in dejection, Maddie looked at him, worried. "…quit mocking me."
"Jared, will my dad be okay?" Danny asked, flying with me with two fists up and a look of utmost determination. "After all this?"
"Yeah." I said, and ghostly tails cascading under us. "He will. I promise."
I looked at Danny from behind and over at Sam and Tucker being held in the talons of the two vultures.
"Thank you for telling me that." Danny said, while we are still flying.
Danny and I stop flying and start gagging as black-gloved hands grab us by the necks and choke us, Danny's tongue and my tongue sticking out. We are pulled away with many puffs of smoke.
In Amity Park, one building still only has a few girders being on construction. Danny and I fall down, landing on the roof of a building on our backs and arms, debris flies as we land.
Danny lifts the top of his body on his hands and bends one of his knees up. I looked up at the sky, knowing who is up there, waiting for us.
"Plasmius!" Danny said, angrily.
Vlad is floating above Danny and I, his cape blowing in the wind and one finger on his chin.
"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked, pulling myself off the ground.
Vlad tilts back his head and taps his chin.
"Well let's see…" Vlad said, putting his finger forward. "Daniel, your father looks like a fool…" He uncurls a second finger. "...there's a million dollars on your head and Jared's head…" Vlad puts down his arms and leans forward a little. "What do the both off you think I'm doing here?!"
Danny and I are in fighting stances. We bend our knees and take flight to the left with our ghostly tails, and fly closer to Vlad.
Vlad leans back a hand and then thrusts forward with it, the palm starts to glow pink. The pink energy becomes a pink square of glass. I stopped but Danny slams face-first into it, his arms slam up on it. He grunts in pain and slides off of it.
Danny is tumbling in the air. He slowly regains his stability and floats in place, his arms and legs out.
"Danny, we still have a bunch of ghost hunters below us." I said, sadly.
"Right." Danny said, opening his eyes. He turns quickly to the left and looks down. "I forgot about this."
On the street below, the Guys in White are scanning a turquoise car with two metal detectors, Andy is carrying a panicking Scaredy Cat in his arms while Fran looks at him with her hands on her hips, the Ghostbreakers skate past on skateboards holding high green butterfly nets.
"So you hired these idiots?" Danny asked.
"The idiots that are copies of Mystery Incorporated, the Ghostbusters, and the Men in Black." I said, rolling my eyes. "Of all the things you could have done. It was to annoy me, knowing I liked them."
"Yes." Vlad said, raising a hand with curled fingers and looking at it. "Every idiot, from the things Jared is into…" He closes his eyes and his hand starts glowing pink. "…except your father, Daniel."
Danny and I are floating in fighting stances. Vlad is far off in the same position, a pink glass flyswatter materializes in a flash of white light.
"He's a free idiot." Vlad said, thrusting his glowing hand forward, turning right.
"Vlad, how did you know I was in the Ghostbusters and the Men in Black?" I asked, and the flyswatter hit Danny and I and we fell back again.
Danny and I landed on our backs on the roof of a building again.
"I've done my research, Jared. Oh, you haven't done the Men in Black yet, have you?" Vlad asked.
"I haven't. Not yet." I said, while Danny gets up, leaning on one hand, one knee is bent upwards, and he buries the side of his face in his other hand. He takes his hand away and turns to the left, looking down to a voice nearby. "But I am looking forward to it."
I got up, knowing that things are just going to get worse from here.
"Danny, Jared, help!" Sam and Tucker yelled, at the same time.
Danny and I get up quickly and rush off.
On the ledge of the building, Danny puts his hands on the ledge and looks down, gasping.
"Crap." I said, using magnetism towards a dumpster to move it along the beaten path, to where Sam and Tucker would be. "Come on, come on…"
Tucker and Sam, being held by the talons of the vultures, scream as they fly closer toward us. The vultures release the kids, and they scream as they fall down.
With the dumpster, the top is up and it's filled with refuse. Tucker and Sam land feet-first into the mess, displacing many cans and other trash items, flying out of the dumpster. The lid slams down on them.
"Well, Jared saved them." Danny said, his hands on the ledge, looking down. He looks up to the right, towards Vlad. "As much as I'd enjoy catching up…" He bends his hands and takes off with many puffs of smoke. "Plasmius…" Danny is flying with his fists up and his ghostly tail cascading below him. "...shouldn't you be getting home to the love of your life?"
Vlad has two glowing fists. He lunges one arm forward and sends out an energy beam, then lunges the one in the back forward.
"That being Maddie Fenton." I said, flying back up into the sky, to be behind Danny.
"Oh…" Danny said, as he and I giggled, and we swooped around Vlad's energy beam, getting closer to Vlad. We stop in a fighting stance, more beams blast off behind us. "…that's right! Dad married the love of your life." Danny and I flew away from Vlad. "You're bitter and alone!"
Danny moves away from Vlad, bringing one hand back.
"You're bitter and alone, one day falling in love with a cat or a hologram!" I yelled, looking at Vlad. "Man, I can't wait to see it in real life!"
Danny turns to punch, but his gloved hand is caught by Vlad's black-gloved hand. Danny screams as it glows and convulses with pink electric energy. Vlad then reached over to me and grabbed my hand, convulsing with pink energy, causing me to scream too.
Danny and I are being held by Vlad, convulsing in shock and screaming. Vlad is floating carelessly.
"Oh please, Daniel, Jared." Vlad said, leaning back his head, before leaning his head forward, Danny's screams and my screams fade away. "Must I actually defeat you two with two hands behind my back, before you realize, you're outmatched!"
Two blue rings form around Danny's body as two blue rings form around my body. The two blue rings change Danny's chest, arms and head back to Danny Fenton as the two blue rings change my chest, arms, and head back to my human self. The pink electricity subsiding where Danny is Fenton and where I am my human self. Suddenly, the electricity stops charging, and causing Danny and I to sigh with fatigue, the rings closing down and turning Danny's human parts back to Danny Phantom and turning my human parts back to the Black Pearl.
"God, I hate this…" I said, while Danny and I leaned forward without any energy left, pink sparkles pop around us. "Gah…"
Danny and I are being held by Vlad. Vlad lets go of me and looks at Danny and I and waves a finger.
"Ah, ah, ah!" Vlad said, lifting his arm out, raising his chin and smiling, eyes closed. "We can't have the two of you pass out, and change back into Danny Fenton and Jared Shay…" He puts down his arm and looks down at Danny. "…now can we?" Vlad's head comes in from the right, meeting up with Danny and I. Vlad's eyes are closed. "Daniel, this might be your father's party…" He opens his eyes. "…but you and Jared are the guests of honor!" Vlad is holding Danny and I in the sky. "Tah!"
Vlad throws Danny and I across his body and casts him off. Danny and I fly, face and hands forward, screaming as we are heading towards the Nasty Burger.
"Crap!" I said, when Danny and I are falling toward a collection of ghost hunters by the Nasty Burger. "Ugh…"
Operative O is standing in front of the Fenton Assault Vehicle, "It's the million dollar ghosts!"
Sullivan is holding a bazooka, "Whoa! Do you know how many extreme jockstraps I could buy with a million dollars?"
Danny and I are falling with our faces toward the Nasty Burger. We're screaming.
Maddie is holding a souped-up ghost rifle. She loads it and aims it by her eye as it charges.
Jack charges and aims his rifle.
Sullivan kicks up his skateboard, takes it in his hands, and unfolds it. It becomes a weapon with ten beams, five on each side.
The Scaredy Cat meows in panic and jumps onto Fran, who braces herself and screams.
Andy is popping into the scene.
"Like, how 'bout a…" Andy said, holding up a yellow bag that reads 'Kitty Krunch', waving it back and forth so it crinkles. "…Kitty Krunch?"
The Scaredy Cat's eyes narrow and glow reddish with determination. He jumps up into the air.
Nasty Burger…
The Scaredy Cat lands on his paws, leans down, and then gets up and roars.
Danny and I are falling and screaming with us looking down at the chest of Operative K.
Operative K reaches into his suit and takes out a green pen, and a laser sprouts from it, extending into segments. He holds it up, his finger in front of it.
Operative O is using an automatic dust roller on his suit. He thrusts it out, it also sprouts a laser shooter and extends into segments.
Dumpster…
Tucker and Sam lift the lid up, Tucker with one hand, Sam with both.
"That settles it." Tucker said, looking at Sam. "Nasty Burger smells the same before, and after the fact."
Sam looks up to the left, worried, "Danny! Jared!"
Street…
Danny lands on the bottom of his palms and tumbles over backwards, grunting in pain and landing on his back in front of the ghost hunters with me landing on top of Danny.
"Uh…" I said, pulling myself off the ground and off of Danny. "Hi."
Fran, Sullivan and Operative O pointing guns at Danny and I, Scaredy Cat glaring at us. Guns are heard charging as Jack and Maddie approach us.
Danny and I have five guns pointed at us.
"You know…" Danny said, sadly. "I think I liked it better when they were laughing."
"Honestly. Same." I said, while Danny and I looked frightened. "God. I wish I was with the Ghostbusters. This is just scary."
"You really should have warned me about this." Danny said, as he is still on the ground with his arms on the ground,four guns are being pointed at him and me. "And you said things will work out in the end."
Danny shifts his eyes to the right.
"Sorry." I said, looking at Danny on the ground, surrounded by the legs of Andy and a Ghostbreaker, along with a third gun-holder nearby. "I forgot how much I didn't like this adventure."
"You forgot?" Danny asked, getting up on his elbows with his hands clenched tight, looking up behind him. "How could you forget?"
"It's been a long few days." I said, and Danny relaxes a little and rolls his eyes to the right, as Scaredy Cat steps in and growls in front of us. "I can't remember everything, you know."
Danny rolls his eyes back again while I let out a sigh.
"Uh…" Danny said, blinking, before looking to the right. "...um…" I looked at Danny, and laughed a ton. "…boo?"
Scaredy Cat is looking determined, but leans upwards, meowing in fright, teeth chatting and perspiring.
Danny is on the ground, looking up at Scaredy Cat, worried. Fran is looking down on him with a menacing glare, but Andy and Sullivan are looking at the cat. Scaredy Cat turns, waving his tail in the air, and jumps up into the air.
Operative K is holding a bazooka. Scaredy Cat jumps onto him with his paws on the agent's face, shivering and perspiring, causing the agent to drop the gun.
"This is a little funny." I said, looking at the agent where Scaredy Cat's claws are wedged in his cheek and on his head. "Really funny."
"Ow! I have a skin breach on Facial Sector 5." Operative K said.
Danny is sitting on the ground next to the legs of Fran, Andy and Sullivan. Danny and I rolled our eyes, Danny's eyes turned blue while mine turned brown as we went intangible, and with Danny phasing butt-first as I phased standing up through the concrete.
The ghost hunters, Sullivan and Andy are looking at Fran, who is holding a handgun.
"Like…" Andy said, turning to Sullivan. "…shouldn't we focus on the Ghost Kids? You know…" He turns back to Fran. "…before Jack Fenton does something stupid and they escape?"
Jack suddenly comes in from the left holding a bazooka, pushing the three ghost hunters away with the sound of glass breaking.
"Where are they?" Jack asked, turning to the left. "Where are they?"
Andy is looking all sigh, "Like that?"
Nasty Burger…
Jack is standing, holding the bazooka, with the Groovy gang sitting down on the concrete on the right, Sullivan sitting on the concrete on the left. Brenner is still standing. Danny and I phase up through the concrete from far away, looking back at the ghost hunters.
Jack turns sharply to the left, aiming his bazooka. He looks at the business end of the bazooka, it glows green and charges.
Danny and I are floating and looking frightened. We turn blue and intangible, ducking into the ground.
Jack is aiming. It stops charging and he puts the gun down, knowing the ghost boy escaped. With all the ghost hunters, the Ghostbreakers are on the left, the Guys in White are between them and Jack, and the Groovy Gang is on the right, all glaring at Jack.
The Ghostbreakers have glaring faces. The Guys in White have it too. As well as the Groovy Gang.
All the ghost hunters are in their former position. Jack slumps over, turning off the gun and hanging it vertically, embarrassed and saddened by failure. He walks off.
