"Sam. (Y/N), please, tell Tucker he's nuts." Danny said to us. "I don't feel like I'm nuts." Tucker replied. "And I don't think he is either. Valerie is one of your enemies, Danny. Do you think it's smart to be letting her this close?" Sam asked Danny. "I can handle it." Danny scoffs. "Besides, she's not so bad...once you get to know her." I said.

"Thanks. You two are not so bad yourselves, (l/n)." I hear Valerie behind us say. Danny and I turn around to greet her while Tucker and Sam turn their back on us. "What's up with them?" Valerie asked us. "They're...Really good friends, and they're just being overprotective." Danny replied to her. "Of what? It's not like we have anything to hide." Valerie said and Danny gives us a knowing look.

Suddenly, Danny's ghost sense goes off. "Woah! I gotta jet!" Danny said. He kissed my cheek then runs off and around the corner. Then moments later, Dash runs around and screams then he starts to slam himself against the lockers before he falls face forward on the ground. Then Danny walks around the corner. Sam, Tucker, Valerie and I stare at him. "And...There's more where that came from, Baxter! So...Watch it!" Danny said before he runs off.

I chuckle alittle when Valerie asked. "Where's he running to all the time? I mean, usually, a guy that runs off like that has a job. Or a girlfriend....but you're his girlfriend, (y/n)." Valerie said as I turn to face her. "And he's never mentioned a job, so what's with the rush?" She asked. "Maybe it's a family emergency." I replied but she doesn't seem to believe me. "Can I talk to you in private?" She asked me. I look over at Sam and Tucker, who have a concern look on their face. I nod at them and they nod back in response then they walk away.

"What's up?" I asked her. "Look, I know we don't know much about each other. We've never hung out or spent any kind of time together but I'm just worried that somethings going on. I think Danny's hiding something from you. I mean, like I said, where's he running off to, if you're here and he doesn't have a job?" Valerie asked and my jaw slightly dropped. "You think he's seeing someone else?" I asked her. She shurgs. "I don't know but I'm just....I just don't want to see you hurt." She said. I roll my eyes at this. I know this is just ridiculous but I'm just humoring her. "I'll keep it in mind, Valerie, but I'm sure it's just an emergency. But thanks for your concern." I said as I walk away and towards Tucker and Sam, just as Tucker's PDA goes off.

I look at my friends in fear as we head out of the building.

*DANNY'S POV*

Vlad and I were in the football field when I fly towards him but he grabs me around the neck. "Calm down, Daniel! I didn't come here to fight you, I have other things to worry about!" Vlad said as he sets me down on the field. Then we heard a horse neighs, we turn to see the Fright Knight and his posse, the Skeleton Armies. The Fright Knight, attempting to hit Vlad, chops a wing off one of the football post.

I fire a blast that hits two Skeletons, and quite a lot more at the Skeletons who overtake me. Just as one Skeleton is about to slice through me, a pink blast of ectoplasm destroys it. I turn around to find that Vlad was the one that fired it.

"You're helping me? Whaddya want, my mom's cell number?" I asked him as we continue to fight. "No! But really, if you wanted to give me her number..." Vlad started to say until the Fright Knight grabs him.

"The king's prize. Return it!" The Fright Knight ordered.

"I don't have it. But, if you join me, perhaps toge-" Vlad started to say until both of them are knocked away by a sudden blast of pink. We look up to see Valerie, in her hunting garb, holding up a smoking cannon. "Guess what, everybody! The best ghost hunter in Amity Park is here! And that means, you're about to get your BUTTS HANDED TO YOU!" Valerie said.

"She really is quite good at this." Vlad said as he stands up.

"She also thinks we're the enemy." I reply.

"Good point." He said.

Valerie holds up some explosive balls and throws them at us. The two of us clear out just before the explosive balls explode. I land on my front then I felt someone grab my collar and pull me up. "Alright, ghost, what's going on here?" Valerie asked me. "That." I said, pointing to the Fright Knight and his cronies, who's flying towards us. Then Vlad duplicates himself to create a kind of shield. The duplicates fire pink blasts at the Skeletons, sending them back to where they came. Then the duplicates morph back into one Vlad.

"Uhh...thanks?" Valerie said with uncertainty. "You're welcome. Look, I know this is going to be hard to believe--" I said just as the Fright Knight tackles Vlad down to the ground. I point towards them as I continue. "But that guy is the problem right now, and I could really use your help."

"I still don't trust you, or your spooky friend." Valerie said. "You don't have to trust me. Just...fight with me!" I said as I extend my hand out towards her. She looks at me for moment before she reaches out and shakes my hand. I smile as I turn around and fire a blast at the Fright Knight.

Valerie punches him in the face, while Vlad gets up and fires as well. The Fright Knight is knocked to the ground, but he is not defeated--not yet. He begins to get up. "Fool! All I wanted to do was seize the Ring and return to Pariah's Keep. But now, you give me no choice." He said as he stands up and holds up his sword. "By the authority vested in me by my Lord and Leige--" He holds up his sword, which seems to have burst into flame, and sticks it into the ground. When the ground and sword make contact, a green wave of ectoplasm sweeps through the town. When the wave hits the Skeleton Armies, they freeze in their tracks. "I claim this town now and forever under the weather of Lord Pariah--The King Of All Ghosts!"

I fly up and crash into the dome. Valerie flies over to the sword, attempting to grab it, but is pushed away by Fright Knight. She faints as she hits the ground. Her hunter garb retracts, revealing a seriously beaten Valerie.

"Valerie!" I shouted.

"My pawn!" Vlad shout.

I give him an odd look until he says. "I mean, that poor girl." We fly down to take a look at Valerie until the Fright Knight speaks. "The sword has sunk, your die now cast, The sword removed shall signal fast. Make reappear-The Ring thou hast--Or your next day shall be your last." Then he disappears in a puff of smoke and bats. "The Ring thou hast?" I asked Vlad, who shrugs.

Then we heard my mother's voice call out in a magnified voice. "Children of Amity Park! Report to the safe bosom of the Fenton Family Assault Vehicle!"

"Mom!" I said as Vlad said. "Maddie!"

"I can't let her see me like this!" We said and the both of us fly away as I go and hide behind a tree to transform then run back towards Valerie's unconscious body just as mom and Mr Gray shows up. Both of them look at me. "She was like that when I got here." I said and the three of us bend down to check her over.

*YOUR POV*

Welcome back to Big Scary Dome Watch, I'm Tiffany Snow. We are in our fourth hour of captivity--And Amity Park remains cut off from the outside world. With more on that, outside the safety of our studio, is our own Lance Thunder. Lance?

Danny, Valerie, and I were watching the TV while Vlad and Mrs Fenton were working on this ecto suit that the Fenton's have been working on. "This suit is the only hope we have to punch through that dome. But I still don't think we'll be able to perfect the neural receptors." Mrs Fenton said as she wipes her brow and Valerie walks up stairs. "Which is why I'll wear the suit. If anyone's gonna beat that ghost back into the Ghost Zone, it's me." Mr Fenton said with determination until he groans and fall back on his chair.

"No, Jack, look at you! You're still wiped out from the last time!" Mrs Fenton said with genuine concern. Vlad stands up and Danny walks over to him.

"It kills ya, doesn't it? How much they love each other?" He asked Vlad.

"I have other things to worry about and so do you." Vlad replied as Mr Fenton starts to walk away until Vlad sticks his leg out, tripping Mr Fenton. "And yet, I will always have time for that." Vlad said with a smile while Danny and I glare at him.

Afterwhile, Danny and I make our way up the stairs and into the kitchen to see Valerie, Sam and Tucker sitting at the table. "Hey guys." Danny greeted as I wave at them. Sam looked really upset as she walks over to us. "Can I talk to you two for a second?" She said really fast as she hauls us away while Tuxker gets up and follows us to a closet full of Fenton gear and then she slams the door.

Inside, Sam turns to light on as Tucker turns to Danny. "Yo man, you do know the minute you turn into Danny Phantom she's gonna shoot first and ask questions never." He said. "She's not gonna find out." Danny said, firmly. "How do you know she's not snooping right now? What if that ring on her finger is some sort of ghost detection device?" Sam asked him. I raise an eyebrow in confusion at her. "Ring? W-what are you talking about?" I asked her. Sam slightly opens the door and points towards the opening.

Danny and I stick our heads out and noticed a green ring on her left hand. We close the door as Danny said. "Oh man, that's got to be the ring the Fright Knight's looking for! Vlad must have given it to her!" Danny said. "Isn't he a little old for her?" Tucker asked. "He's obviously using her to hide the ring from the Fright Knight. Something's going on with that ring, and we need to make the ghosts tell us what it is." Danny said, ignoring Tucker's question. He stands up and transforms. Then he turns intangible, grabs grabs us, and we phase through the wall.

Tucker, Sam and I were in the Specter Speeder while Danny went inside a hunting store, where Skulker was hiding in. Sam steers the Specter Speeder inside of the building and parked right it right in front of Skulker. Danny then comes up right under Skulker and punches him, sending Skulker careening towards the ceiling, but activates his rocket boosters at the last second. He sends out some netting towards Danny, who is captured in it. Danny flies around aimlessly, taking Skulker along for the ride, and then phases out right before the crash landing. A baseball helmet falls on his head, and a ball and bat fall near him. He smiles evilly as he whacks the ball towards Danny, who is knocked down. Skulker picks him up and...

"Ix-nay on the ight-fay, Skulker. Maybe he can help us." Poindexter said while the other ghost come into view. "Please, tell me what's going on! Let me help you guys!" Danny pleads. Reluctantly, Skulker puts Danny down. Of course, as soon as he's down, Danny punches him, making him Skulker fly backwards. "How is that helping?" I asked as Danny flexes his wrist. "It's payback. It helps me on the inside." Danny replied as I roll my eyes.

Later, Skulker had all of us around a fake electric campfire as he begins to tell us a tale. "It was many years ago. Before you. Before me. Before most of us. His name was Pariah Dark. And he ruled the Ghost Zone. He was a ghost of such power and magnitude, only he could control the entities contained within the Crown of Fire and the Ring of Rage. When wearing both--he could do anything. Until a group of powerful ancient ghosts banded together in a last ditch effort to defeat the King, by locking him within the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep. Or so we thought." He said.

"He's only been freed for a day and he's already destroyed our homes." Ember informed us.

"And that's without the Ring. We can't let him get it! But I'm gonna need all of you to help me put the Ghost King to sleep. I'll need you to battle against all odds--Face untold danger, doom, and destruction, with no guarantee of ever coming back. WHO'S WITH ME?" Danny asked and the response he got was all of the Ghosts laughing at him and then walked away. "You should probably take that as a no." Tucker said while Danny looks down, dejectedly.
