"HELP!" This transcript needs to be finished! |
The episode opens with an establishing shot of a large multileveled platform, covered with observatories, floating in the Ghost Zone. Indistinguishable chatter can be heard. | |
Unknown voice | Order! Order! |
The camera zooms in on the observatory before it cuts to a bright green eye | |
Unknown voice | The Observant High Council tribunal is now in session. |
’’Camera pans out to show that the speaker is an observant with several other observants in the stands’’ | |
Observant Speaker | Bring in the prisoner. |
Container comes out of the ground. | |
Observant speaker | For centuries the prisoner has plagued the planet Earth with horrible and unpredictable meteorological events. Cities have been wiped out, countless lives have been endangered. Observant high council, what say you? |
High Council | Guilty. Guilty. |
Observant speaker | Before we pronounce sentence, have you anything to say Vortex. |
Vortex | Yes. (wheezes) Fry! |
Observant speaker | Your weather powers are rendered inert by our spectral barometer, Vortex. There is no possible way for you to escape. |
Guard | Oh I wouldn't say that. |
Unnamed guard blasts the Obervant and the guard next to it. The stadium of Observants jump out of their seats to attack him. | |
Vortex | Who are you? |
Vlad | (Taking off his helmet) Plasmius. Vlad Plasmius. |
Vlad breaks the glass and frees Vortex. | |
Vortex | Free. Finally. Free! |
Vlad | Yes, yes. No need to thank me. |
Vortex | Thank you? Vortex thanks no one. You should be rejoicing that I even allow you in my presence. (wheezes) Fly speck. Now stand aside as I unleash the full (wheezes) fury of my power on that meaningless planet Earth. |
Vlad | Unleashing your power on the Earth? That's funny, that's exactly what I was thinking. |
Vortex | Please. I'll do anything you ask. |
Vlad | Yes, yes you will. And I have a vivid imagination. |
Theme song | |
Open on a boiling hot day in Amity Park. | |
Tucker | Man, I can't ever remember it being this hot for so long. Can you Danny? |
Sam | Uh oh. Looks like commander crab is off fighting the happys again. |
Tucker | No worries. My Foley Mood Meddler, patent pending, will take care of that in a flash. |
The screen inside the Mood Meddler is of two girls playing beach volleyball and giggling. The beach ball is replaced by Tucker's head. | |
Tucker | Hello ladies. |
Danny | Will you get this thing offa me? |
Tucker | Must have some bugs to work out. |
Danny | Yeah. In your head. |
Vlad | My dearest citizens. Our current heat wave and subsequent water shortage have thrown Amity Park into a state of emergency. But being as I am your mayor, and many of you are undoubtedly questioning why or even how you voted for me, I vow that the fortunes of Amity Park are about to change with this. My very own rain machine. |
Tucker | There's no way Vlad's gonna make it rain with that thing. |
Danny | So, why are we even wasting our time here? |
Tucker | Because your dad is Vlad's biggest supporter? |
Jack | Give me a V! Give me an L! Come on people work with me here. |
Danny | (Jack is still cheering in the background) Ugh. He's probably gonna keep this up until Vlad isn't the mayor anymore. |
Sam | Will we have to deal with your cruddy attitude til then, too? |
Danny | I'm sorry, guys. I-I just can't help being embarrassed. And annoyed. It's not like I can turn off my emotions. |
Tucker | If only Vlad's machine could change your mood swings. He'd be on to something. |
Vlad | Well I'll have to work on that, won't I? But for now my loyal consitutents will have to settle for a sudden change of weather. |
Vortex | So that dolt is tired of the heat wave he ordered. Very well then. Let there be rain! |
Danny | Sorry V-man, looks like your weather machine's a total-- |
It suddenly starts raining. The crowd starts cheering "rain" as it pours. Vlad's security staff pass out umbrellas with Vlad's face on them. | |
Sam | Whenever I think Vlad's crazy I forget to add "like a fox." There is no way he actually made it rain. |
A car drives by and splashes Danny with water. An umbrella hits him in the head. | |
Danny | Ow! |
Lance Thunder | There's just no ducking the rain here in Amity Park and that's the best news in weeks. The drought is over and we all have our super neato mayor Vlad Masters to thank. We owe you a debt of graditude Mr. Mayor. Feel free to send us the bill. (A duck bites his finger) Ow! Get this thing off me! Or bring me some orange sauce! |
Vlad | Vortex my boy, you have done well. My approval ratings are up a whopping 82%. |
Vortex | I am good, aren't I? But this paltry rain is just the tip of the iceberg. (wheezes) Like the one I'll create in the middle of the Sahara (breathes) once I'm free. |
Vlad | And I'll be anxious to see that, as soon as you stop the rain. |
Vortex | Stop the rain? The weather is my art. I will not just stop it. Did anyone ask Picasso to stop painting the Mona Lisa? |
Vlad | That was DaVinci you dolt. |
Vortex | Whatever. Bottom line: the rain stays! |
Vlad shocks Vortex, who shoots back and destroys the control device. | |
Vortex | A pleasure doing business with you. (laughs as he flies away) |
Vlad, as Plasmius, goes after Vortex. | |
Vortex | Since you refused my freedom, I'll see to it that your (wheezes) pathetic village endures the worst (wheezes) storm ever created! (Breathes) Time to unleash (wheezes) the maelstrom! |
Vlad gets knocked into an alley and changed back. | |
Citizen | Smile Mayor Masters. |
The citizen takes a picture of Vlad collapsed on the ground. | |
Lance Thunder | All residents are advised by Mayor Masters, who is totally to blame for this mess by the way, to board up your windows and batten down your hatches. This is Lance Thunder saying…run for your lives! I quit! |
Jazz | This is awful! |
Jack | I'll say. Vladdie's approval ratings are down to 23% |
Jazz | He's really ruined things with this rain storm. It's a major emergency. |
A gust of wind blows in the window. | |
Jack | Right. There's only one place to be in an emergency. The Emergency Ops Center. |
Jack pops his head in the hatch leading up to the Ops Center. Cut to a big gust of wind blowing it away. Cut to Jack's head, still out of the ceiling, now wet from the rain. | |
Jack | Although the guest bathroom is kinda comfy, too. I hide snacks in there. |
Danny | Ow! |
Jack | Nothing like a little spring rain to freshen things up around here, eh Danny. |
Danny | Spring rain? Those are 85 mph winds. Dad, how can you blindly ignore the fact that all of this destruction was probably caused by your old college pal? |
Jack | Danny don't get so emotional. Vladdie would never do something like that. |
Danny | How do you know? |
Jack | B-because he's…Vlad. |
Vlad turns Danny intangible and pulls him through the floor. | |
Jack | Give me a V! (Danny is gone) Someone's gonna give me a V or there's gonna be trouble. |
Danny | Oof. Plasmius. Nice weather we're having. |
Vlad | Ah yes. The obligatory weather pun. How original. But I have no time to take exception, I must resort to humiliatingly desperate measures. |
Vlad approaches Danny. | |
Vlad | Daniel, I need your help. |
Cut to Phantom and Plasmius flying through the storm towards a giant green cloud shaped like a skull. | |
Danny | Nice move Plasmius. Unleashing an evil weather ghost just so you could look good to the voters? |
Vlad | I don't expect you to understand my reasons Danny. The important thing is if we're going to defeat Vortex we're going to have to do it together. |
Vortex | Come to admire my greatness up close? |
Vlad | Uh, no. I just wanted to introduce you to a friend. Danny, Vortex. Vortex, Danny. Well gotta fly. Ta. |
Danny | My hero. |
Vortex | A ghost boy? So you're the one they call Danny (wheezes) Phantom. |
Danny | Actually you'll find I'm more than one these days. Ugh come on, come on. (Danny duplicates to form 3 more Dannys) I did it! |
Two of the Dannys fire ectoblasts at Vortex. They do no damage and Vortex blows a gust of wind on them, forcing the 4 Dannys back into 1. | |
Newswoman | Breaking news over Amity Park. Amity Park's own hero Danny Phantom is engaged in an epic battle with what appears to be some sort of weather ghost. |
Maddie | Danny should see this. Where is he a-- |
Jazz | Uhhh, he's at Sam's. He called. He's fine. |
Maddie | Anyway? |
Vortex | Ugh your dreary efforts bore me ghost boy. I was expecting a more (wheezes) electrifying performance from you. |
They fight. Danny gets hit with electricity from Vortex and is blasted into a nearby sporting goods store. | |
Vortex | Now to show the rest of the world the fury of (wheezes) Vortex. |
Sam and Tucker | Danny! |
Commercial break | |
Sam and Tucker ride up to the collapsed store on their scooters. | |
Sam | Hurry Tucker. Danny's in there. |
Danny climbs out of the rubble wearing various items from the store. The crowd nearby laughs at him. | |
Danny | Hey. (Starts glowing red) Quit laughing at me. |
A thunderstorm suddenly appears. | |
Sam | Oh great. More weather fun. |
Vlad | Calm down everyone. Calm down. Mayor Masters is here. Rest assured everything's fine. |
Danny | You. (Glows red) Do you have any clue what you've done?! |
Clouds form above them and a tornado touches down and chases Vlad. | |
Tucker | Okay that's weird. It's almost as if Danny caused that twister. |
Sam and Tucker look over to Danny who is still glowing red. Cut to the GAV driving. | |
Jack | If that weather ghost is around here I'll show him a pressure zone he'll never forget! |
Jack and Maddie scream as the GAV quickly stops. Vlad runs in front of the road past the GAV. The Fentons turn to see where he was running from and they scream as the GAV is swept up in the twister. | |
Danny | No! |
Danny immediately stops glowing red and the twister is gone in an instant, dropping the GAV which safely crashed into some trees. | |
Maddie | Jack are you okay? |
Jack | Sure thing sweetcakes. The airbags didn't deploy but thank goodness for the big Vlad head. |
Danny runs to the base of the trees the GAV is stuck in. | |
Sam | Danny! Wait! |
Danny | I've gotta go help my parents! |
Tucker | Your parents are fine. It's you we're worried about. |
Sam | Call us nuts but we just saw the weather change 3 times in sync with your mood. |
Vlad | That's preposterous. |
Danny | Back off Masters. |
A tiny cloud forms over Vlad's head and strikes him with lightning. He screams and runs away but the cloud chases after him. | |
Tucker | See what we mean? |
Danny | I-I have felt kinda…tingly since that lighting ball blew up my force field. |
Vlad | The electricity passing through your ecto shield must have caused you to absorb some of Vortex's weather controlling power. |
Sam | Meaning you need to take a deep breath and calm down before we have another storm like the last one. |
Danny takes a deep breath and the clouds dissipate. | |
Danny | I've heard of having a sunny disposition but this is nuts. |
Cut to Vlad's office where Sam and Tucker are trying to keep Danny cool and relaxed. | |
Vlad | Curses. Just when I'm on the verge of a triump, the rollercoaster emotions of a-a-a teenager threaten my plans. |
Danny | Hey! You brought the guy here in the first place. |
Danny glows blue and gusts of wind blow open the windows. Sam and Tucker push through to get back to Danny to calm him down. | |
Sam and Tucker | Clam down! |
Danny takes a deep breath and the wind stops. | |
Sam | Easy big guy. Keep it mellow. |
The implications here are serious, Daniel. Your anger could cause cyclones, your sadness monsoons. You're going to have to remain here and keep calm until your friends can find Vortex and bring him back here. | |
Tucker | What about you? |
Vlad | Negative. The mayor's absence in the wake of disaster would create civic unease. |
Sam | Uh huh. Along with the instant end of your political career and all subsequent evil plans. |
Vlad | Ha ha ha touché. (Sighs) I'm afraid I'll have to take it upon myself to keep Danny safe and calm until you complete the task. |
Danny | Me stay with you? Forget it! |
Vlad | Will you quit doing that? |
Tucker | Look on the bright side, Danny. Until we get back, he's gonna have to cater to your every whim and desire. |
Sam | Yeah. He wouldn't wanna make you angry. |
Danny | This pleases me. |
Cut to Vlad's mansion. Danny is inside eating a sandwhich. | |
Danny | (spits out sandwich) Hello? I specifically said no tomato! |
Vlad pops his head out of the kitchen, banana split in hand and a mini twister chases him around the room. | |
Cut to Fentonworks where Jack is welding the Ops Center to the roof. | |
Jack | Locked down tighter than a drum. This baby won't be going anywhere for a while. |
The Ops Center breaks free from Fenton Works. The blimp opens up and it flies away. | |
Jack | Note to self: never tighten any drums. |
Cut to Sam and Tucker inside the Fenton blimp. | |
Sam | We ditched school and stole the Fenton blimp. We'd better find Vortex and bring him back to cure Danny or we're going to jail for life. |
Tucker | We'll find him. We've got the most reliable forecasting tool known to man. The Atmosphere Channel. |
Offshore Flo | At the top of the hour, I'm Offshore Flo. Severe weather conditions with faces are now in effect on all four corners of the globe. Our Accumatronic 4000 radar indicates another major storm front rapidly approaching Venice, Italy. |
Tucker pushes some buttons and the blimp turns into a jet. He activates the auto pilot. | |
Auto Jack | This is Auto Jack saying "Chicks dig guys who fly." |
Tucker | We're setting a new course. Take us to Italy. |
Cut back to Amity Park at the Amity Park Convention Center. | |
Danny | Thanks for taking me to the vid convention, Uncy Vlad. |
Cut to inside where Danny and Vlad are playing a game against each other. | |
Vlad | Oh don't mention it, dear boy. If this makes you happy then so be it. You know how much I care for you. Ha! Eat that wimp! |
Danny | Hey no fair! |
Danny glows red as the temperature inside skyrockets, setting off the sprinklers and shorting out all of the electronics in the convention center. | |
Danny | Gee. Looks like your rain machine works like a charm Mr. Mayor. |
A man walks up to the pair. | |
Manager | Yeah and now you're gonna have to buy every ruined video game in the place Mr. Mayor. |
Vlad writes out a cheque. Cut to Venice where it suddenly freezes over. | |
Vortex | Buongiorno Venecia. (laughs) My reign of terror continues…al dente. |
Sam | There he is! |
Vortex attacks the jet. | |
Tucker | I don't think we're gonna be able to stop him. The weather is catastrophic all over the world. |
Sam | Almost all over the world. Here's what we're gonna do. Vortex you must be pretty proud of yourself right about now. |
Vortex | Oh you know it. I have succeeded in distrupting weather patterns (wheezes) all over the globe. (wheezes) I (wheezes) am the perfect storm. |
Sam | Well Mr. Perfect, seems there's one place in the world where the weather is calm and clear. Good ol' Amity Park. |
Vortex | What?! Surely you're mistaken. My power (wheezes) reaches to the ends of the Earth. |
Tucker | Not in Amity Park. Danny Phantom scared you away. |
Vortex | No one scares me. |
Vortex flies off to Amity Park and Sam and Tucker follow. Cut to Amity Park. | |
Danny | This has been a great time Uncy Vlad. I really must tie my emotions to the weather more often. And I'm really looking forward ot that foot massage. |
Vlad | Anything for you dear boy. Keeping you calm and happy is my motto, you know. |
Vortex | Where is he? |
Vlad | And now my job is done. |
Vlad transforms into Plasmius and throws Danny outside. | |
Danny | Uncy Vlad? |
Vlad | Let's go water boy. |
Vlad grabs Danny. Cut to Vortex destroying Amity Park. | |
Vlad | Vortex! Stop this insanity and remove the child's weather changing abilities at once. |
Vlad throws Danny at Vortex. He is caught mid-air by the Fenton jet. Danny opens his eyes and looks at his friends inside. | |
Danny | Hey guys, perfect timing. I could use your help. I can't believe I'm saying this, but, Tucker I need your virtual reality helmet. |
Tucker | We need to harness your mood power to defeat Vortex. |
Danny | No problem maestro. Play me like a violin. Hey Vortex! Today's forecast: partly cloudy with a chance of pain! |
Vortex | Ha. Is that the best you can do? I am invincible. |
Danny | Okay Tucker, let's do it. |
Danny puts on the Foley Mood Meddler and the jet clamps on to Danny. | |
Tucker | Commencing Operation: Mess with Danny's emotions. |
Tucker pushes a button and activates the Mood Meddler. Cut to Danny, then cut to the screen inside the helmet. Five Paulinas are running across a beach. | |
Paulinas | Come and run with us Danny. |
Danny smiles. The Paulinas run off screen and five Dashes run along the beach. | |
Dashes | Hey Fenton. |
Danny frowns. | |
Sam | Ugh darn it Dash. |
Sam | Hey. It's working. |
Vortex | This is not my nature! |
Tucker | Fire two. |
Danny | Aww such cute animals. They all look so…sad. |
Vortex | (Growls in frustration) The elements are mine to control. (Roars) |
Danny | (gasps) Hey Sam. Great day for a picnic, huh? |
Mood turns to happy. Weather clears up. | |
Sam | Okay Danny. Now! |
Danny is released from the jet and he takes off the helmet. Danny flies towards Vortex who hits him with electricity again. In the jet, Sam pushes away the auto Jack and takes the wheel. | |
Vortex | Agh very clever ghost punk. But let's see if you can handle this. What? I'm powerless? |
Danny | And I'm not! |
Vortex | Noooo! |
Sam | Danny, you still look really angry. |
Danny | I'm totally angry. Vlad's ego almost caused the entire town to be destroyed. |
Tucker | But the sun's still shining. That means your emotions aren't tied to the weather anymore. |
Danny | Great. |
Cut to FentonWorks. | |
Danny | Well that's that. Vortex is back with the Observants and the weather is fine. Now we can go back to ignoring Mayor Vlad's little escapades. |
Vlad | And so good citizens I promised you rain and yes I delivered. Despite Danny Phantom and his ghost friends wreaking havoc with it. |
Danny | What? He's trying to pin this whole mess on me? |
Sam | What else is new? |
Tucker | That's Vlad for ya. Always tryin' to steal your thunder. Good one, huh? |
Danny and Sam walk off. Tucker puts on the Mood Meddler. | |
Tucker | (Inside the Mood Meddler) That's Vlad for ya. Always tryin' to steal your thunder. Good one, huh? |
Inside the Mood Meddler Danny and Sam laugh at Tucker's joke. | |
Tucker | (Speaking outside the helmet) Much better. Modern technology to the rescue again. |
