Chapter 84: D-Stabilized
It's been a day since the bath incident and (F/N) and Paulina having some "fun" afterwards.
Here we open with a shot of a busy highway before zooming to an alley between two buildings where a small glowing form can be seen hiding among a couple of boxes. A close-up reveals it's Dani in ghost form. After checking her surroundings she emerges from her hiding place.
Dani: *Extremely weak.* Finally, I'm back. *Look in the window, and see her reflection.* Uh-oh. Whoa, that's one scary ghost. I got to get to Danny and (F/N) fast. *Starts flying slowly.* Or slow, slow's good. *Flies even slower. Sarcastically.* Or slower, even slower is better. *Stopped flying. Feet start to dissolve.* Ahh! I just hope Danny and (F/N) can help me! *Reabsorbs feet.* I can't let him find me! Okay, pull yourself together Danielle. Vlad is all the way in Colorado. There's no way he can know you're here. *Starts flying again.*
The camera zooms in to reveal a robotic bug on a telephone pole that looks a lot like Vlad, that flies after her,tracking. The scene then changes to inside Vlad's mansion where he's watching the events on his TV which is hooked up to his spy bug
Vlad: *Floating in his house, petting a cat.* Well, well, well. The return of the prodigal daughter. She's looked better, and yet she survived, the question is why? *Cat he is holding meows.* Oh, yes, I agree, Maddie. It's time for a little research. But she's hardly going to come running home to daddy... *Maddie jumps out of his arms on to his desk and points to the button to call Valerie.* Oh, Maddie, you are so brilliant! Yes, let's call on daddy's little helper. *Vlad becomes human and calls Valerie.*
Valerie comes in the window on her board.
Vlad: Well, that certainly was fast. My, don't you look fancy.
Valerie: Got a few upgrades.
Vlad: Well, perhaps you'd be willing to upgrade your life as well. Wouldn't you like to finally move out of that rundown apartment?
Valerie: *Board disappears.* Mmm-hmm. What do you need, Mister Masters?
Vlad: A little bounty hunting.
Valerie Hunting down ghost scum is what I'm all about. The target?
Vlad: Dani Phantom.
Valerie: Danny Phantom? That guy and his sister have been an intangible pain in my butt for a long time.
Vlad: Oh, no, sorry, my dear, not Danny Phantom. *Turns the computer monitor around for Valerie to see.* Dani Phantom, with an "I". A girl ghost.
Valerie You're kidding, there's another girl called Dani Phantom? Ha! These ghosts need to come up with more original names.
(A/N: Oh, like Red Huntress is any better).
Vlad: Yes, well, this Dani Phantom is an incredibly evil, dangerous ghost out to destroy me.
Valerie What's she got against you?
Vlad: Word must be out that I am hunting down ghosts. Once she brings me down, who knows what kind of terror she will unleash on our fair city?
Valerie: There is no way I'm letting the ghost girl get you, Mr. Masters. She is as good as caught. *Starts typing on her tracker.*
Vlad: I knew I could count on you, Valerie.
Valerie: And I'm glad I can count on that new apartment!
Her board reappears. She lands on it and flies off through the window,leaving Vlad alone.
Vlad: It will be so nice to get my little girl back. *He begins to laugh maniacally. Maddie meows loudly and angrily.* Oh, relax, Maddie. You're still my favorite. *He scratches her chin*
Valerie flies through the city on her hoverboard, slowing it as she looks into the window of their apartment room. Her father is fast asleep in an armchair with a book in his lap
Valerie: Daddy, when I catch this ghost girl, I promise to finally move us out of this crummy place! *Her tracker starts beeping* Hmm... Gotcha!
The Scene changes to a corner fruit stand where an employee is stocking the front with apples. Dani transforms back to girl form and is crouching down at one end of the wooden containers being filled with fresh apples to be sold and out of the view of the employee
Dani: If I wanna reach Danny and (F/N) I've gotta keep up my strength!
Turns out both pockets of her shorts,showing that she doesn't have any money just as Valerie pulls up on her hoverboard.
Valerie: What's going on?! The coordinates brought me right here, but that fruit guy's not a ghost! And neither is that kid! *She fiddles with her tracker* What is up with this thing?!
Dani: I hate to do this, but...
Dani then makes her hands intangible, then reaches into the apple stand to grab some apples
Fruit Vendor: *He gasps and looks back at her, suspicious.* Alright, let me see your hands!! *Dani raises her arms, her sleeves empty as if she has no hands* Heey! Aaaah!
Dani walks around the corner,into the alley, takes out the two apples she nabbed and bites into one
Valerie: Man! She's good! I didn't even see her pocket those! Poor kid... I know where she's comin' from... *Her trackers start going off. She gasps.*
Dani drops the apples she had stole in shock at the sound and looks up terrified at Valerie's floating figure. Valerie moves her head left and right,looking for the ghost causing it
Valerie: Huh?! That ghost must be around here! Don't worry, kid! I'm not gonna let some little ghost freak get ya! Hold on!
Valerie goes into a dive,attempting to rescue the kid from the evil ghost lurking around the area. Dani,seeing this ghost hunter come towards her,runs into an abandoned building while Valerie follows on foot,having vanished her hoverboard in order to fit. As opens the door and runs inside, Danielle steps on an unstable wooden board causing a support beam which wakes into a roof beam. Dani runs behind a white clothed table just as Valerie enters,using a light on her helmet to see as she walks forward.
Valerie: Listen, kid. I know you're in here. And I know something evil is hunting you!
Dani ducks further behind the cloth of the furniture as the light from Valerie's suit passes over it.
Dani: Yeah, no kidding!
Valerie: But I can protect you if you just trust me and come out!
Valerie steps on the same piece of floorboard as Dani, however instead of causing the support beam to slam into the higher support,the beam falls down. Sand trickles down as the building begins falling apart.
Dani: Whoa!
Dani gets up and transforms into her ghost form as she rushes towards Valerie. She grabs Valerie before turning them both intangible just as two huge wooden planks fall where they were standing. The two fly through the wooden wall of the collapsing house,past a wooden sign with the words do not enter painted in red, and landing safely outside. Valerie recoils from Dani,staring at her ghost form in shock.
Valerie: Huh? You're-you're a girl and a ghost?!
Camera flicks back to Dani who's still laying on the ground and smiles slightly.
Dani: And you're welcome.
Valerie stands, still shocked.
Valerie: The ghost girl!
Camera goes to Dani who stands up,offering the hand not on her hips for a handshake.
Dani: Yeah, but you can just call me Dani!
Valerie: Oh, I will.
Eyes narrow and she takes out a red, glowing instrument that traps Dani's hands together in it's red glow.
Valerie: *Camera closes in on her face* Dani Phantom!
Camera moves to a close-up of Dani's terrified face
Scene changes to the Fenton's lab where Jack and Maddie stare at something offscreen excitedly. Danny checks his watch, impatient to leave and (F/N) casually leaning against the wall waiting impatiently too.
Danny: Dad, me and (F/N) really gotta go. Sam and Tucker have been waiting for us for over half an hour to patrol-uh-
(F/N): Pa...troooclus! To do a report on Patroclus! A Greek warrior friend of Achilles.
Jack: Your math homework can wait, kids! Check out my newest invention! I call it Ecto-Dejecto!
Jack holds up a giant needle with a green substance in it, name labeled in white letters. Camera zooms in on his face
Jack: With one shot of this no-go juice, ghostly power shrivels up like a raisin in the sun.
Camera closes up on a ghost that resembles a green blob of ectoplasm with narrowed,red eyes that's trapped in a glass container .
Jack: Take this little spooky stinker.
Jack inserts the needle into the body of the ghost and inserts Ecto-dejecto into it.
Jack: Yeah, he's tiny. But terror comes in all sizes! Just hit it with some Ecto-Dejecto and watch it go from tiny to gone! Sayonara, spectral scum!
The blob's eyebrows contract in a sad expression as it begins to shrink and melt into a puddle. However then it's eyes suddenly pop open and it begins expanding,flooding the small container.
Jack: Wait, are we shrinking?! No, no, no! Stop! Shields up!
Danny, (F/N), Maddie,and Jack raises their hands in front of them as the container breaks and pieces of glass fly.
Jack: Maddie, quick! The Wraith Wrangler!
Maddie: Got it!
Jack: Danny! (F/N)! Containment! I just don't know why I just can't get the kinks out of this one.
Danny: Um, any objections to me and (F/N) getting far, far away from here?
(F/N): Yeah, like really far away.
Maddie: Good idea, you two! Best you both avoid any unnecessary contamination!
Danny: Or embarrassment... *runs out of the door*
(F/N): *Follows Danny* Thanks!
Jack: Maybe I just need a bigger needle.
The scene switches back to Dani, now in Valerie's lair.
Dani: Let me go!
Valerie: Not on your afterlife, ghost girl!
Dani: *Struggle in her restraints and her hands start to melt.* That's what I'm afraid of... What are you going to do with me?!
Valerie: Me? I'm not doing anything with you. I've got you all bundled up for delivery to Vlad Masters.
Dani: You're working for Vlad?! He'll destroy me!
Valerie Ha! That's a good one! He told me the only reason you came out of the Ghost Zone was to destroy him!
Dani: What?! No! He's lying!
Valerie: Vlad Masters is a good man! He has never lied to me!
Dani: Are you crazy?! Look at me. Do I look like I could destroy anything? Vlad is evil! And even though I knew he was hunting me, I chanced coming here because I'm dissolving into nothing! Only two people can help me: Danny and Infinite.
Valerie You know the ghost boy and the ghost girl?!
Dani: Yes! Do you?
Valerie: Of course! Everybody in Amity Park knows of the amazing ghost hero Danny and Infinite! But I've never had the honor of meeting him...
Dani: I'll introduce you! Just set me free so I can see him!
Valerie: Oh, I'll let you see them. For the last time... *Takes the restraints off and takes her with her to find Danny and (F/N)*
Meanwhile we see Danny and (F/N) were flying over the streets as Sam and Tucker were down in the street on their scooters.
Sam: A report on Patroclus? I'm impressed!
Danny: Thanks! I guess I really do absorb some things while I'm sleeping in class.
(F/N): Yeah, if only you could absorb an A+ that would be impressive.
Tucker: Well, guys, I hate to say it, or maybe I'm glad to say it, but tonight's ghost hunting scene is pretty much Dullsville. Unless, of course, you count the sudden appearance of Danny and (F/N) long lost ghost cousin.
Danny: What?!
(F/N): Danny's cousin?
(F/N) and Danny then looked up and they were hit then we landed on the rooftop.
Dani: Whoa-aaaah! *Crashes into (F/N) and Danny* Danny! (F/N)!
Sam: Danny? That was your cousin, right?
Danny: We've got this one, guys!
Tucker: Did we just get blown off?
Sam: Pretty massively.
Tucker: Wanna pig out at Nasty Burger and put it on Danny and (F/N)'s tabs?
Sam: Absolutely.
They were about to go until lightning shot from the sky, almost hitting the duo.
Sam: What the heck?!
The duo looked up and saw the stars were shaped like a constellation version of (F/N) glaring at them and there was something written there too.
Tucker: *Reads what's in the sky* "I'm always watching you both, if you do this, I will strike you both down repeatedly and do bodily harm. -(F/N)".
Sam: She's bluffing.
Sam is then nearly hit by lighting again and she and Tucker look up and see the words "I'm not bluffing" and the star (F/N) glaring at them as their eyes widen in fear.
Tucker: Wanna go back to your place and cower in fear while watching movies.
Sam: Absolutely.
Back with (F/N), Danny and Dani.
(F/N): Kid are you okay? *took her hand but something was weird as (F/N) pulled her hand back and saw green goop on her hand* You look awful.
Danny: What happened to you? Last time I saw you, you flew off kinda dramatically.
Dani: You know how hard it is to fly off dramatically?! *grunts then reabsorbs the goop back in her hands* That plus our last battle with Vlad left me really wiped out. As much as I've tried to save my strength since then, I keep getting weaker! I needed your help to see if you two could make me stay whole! But as soon as I got into town, Vlad came after me!
Danny and (F/N) kneeled next to her and (F/N) place her left hand on her right shoulder and Danny places his right hand on her left shoulder
(F/N): He's not gonna touch you, Dani.
Danny: Come on, we'll protect you.
The three of them fly off until they felt something grab my ankle. (F/N) looked down and saw that Valerie had a cable attached to her and Danny's ankle.
(F/N) looked down and saw that Valerie had a cable attached to mine and Danny's ankle.
Valerie: I knew you two would take the bait.
(F/N): Bait? Was this a trap?!
Dani: No! No! I would never do that! She saw me go ghost and she was gonna turn me over to Vlad until told her knew you guys!
Valerie: It's true, ghost kids. The little ecto-brat had no idea was using her to get to you two!
Dani: You what?!
Valerie: And she actually believed that wanted the honor of meeting Danny Phantom and Infinite! When I really just wanted the honor of destroying you two!
Valerie shocks (F/N) and Danny, knocking them out as they both fall down into the streets.
The scene switches back to (F/N) and Danny, who are now in Valerie's lair. They are being vertically cuffed on some kind of mechanical device. Their hands and legs are in cylinders to restrain them.
Valerie: I finally got you both where I want you two Now, I want answers, Phantom, err Phantoms.
Danny: You're not getting anything until you tell us what you did with Dani!
Valerie: Oh, she's getting what's coming to her.
Danny: Just tell me you didn't hand her over to Vlad!
Valerie: Well, that would be a lie, now, wouldn't it?
Danny: You didn't seem to have any trouble lying to Dani! Listen, I know that we've had our issues, and clearly, you're not big on forgiveness.
(F/N): But Dani doesn't have anything to do with you hating us!
Valerie: I don't hate you two. It's because of your brother that I'm the most powerful ghost hunter in Amity Park.
Danny: Hey! What about the Fentons?! *Valerie walks over to a case she had laid out on the table nearby.*
Valerie: Are you kidding?! They couldn't catch a ghost if it was living under their own roof!
Danny and (F/N): True.
(F/N): Hey wait a minute I lived under their roof and they didn't strap me to a table.
Valerie: Anyways, knowledge is power. And with your knowledge, I'll be able to rid Amity Park of its constant ghost invasions forever!
Danny: So you want information?
Valerie:Everything you've got. On the ghost portals, the ghost zone...
Danny: And what if we don't feel like talking?
Valerie: Then I'll need to find ways to persuade you two! *pulls out an ecto-gun*.
(F/N): Woah, Val, I'm flattered but I'm married and you didn't buy me dinner. And honestly, you're not exactly my type.
Valerie and Danny were a bit confused by what (F/N) said until she and Danny realized what the ghost girl meant and they blushed redder than Valerie's suit.
Danny: *Blushes* Infinite!
Valerie: *Blushes* That is not what I meant and you know it!!
(F/N): I dunno, I mean that's what you were implying you sicko.
Valerie: *Blushes* I am not implying anything!
(F/N): I mean you're already in a jumpsuit wearing who knows what under there, you have us strapped in binds... you have stuff on a table...
Valerie: *Blushes* Stop it! Just stop it!!!
(F/N): Hey you're the one who electrocuted us and said you'll find ways to make us talk. That could mean a lot of things.
Valerie: *Blushes even more* It's not the thing you're thinking about! *To Danny* Is she always like this?!
Danny: *Chuckles* You have no idea.
(F/N): And while you're at it, I'm actually kind of thirsty from that nap me and Danny just had moments ago.
Danny decided to play along with (F/N)'s antics just to annoy Valerie.
Danny: Yeah me too, so we're gonna request you fetch us some coffee before we get into this. I mean, everyone gets coffee in crappy movies with scenes like this, am I right? I want somethin' iced, *to (F/N)* Infinite?
(F/N): I'll have a Neapolitan cappuccino, more cappu- than -ccino, make sure it's got no more than four ounces of milk; the beans won't have the right texture otherwise, and make sure they spell my name correctly on the cup-they always put "Fannie", "Annie", "Nannie", "Lannie", "Tannie", "Mannie, "Jannie", "Rannie", "Vannie", or "Hannie"; I hate that. If you can't handle that, I'll have a Venti traditional misto. Please use soy milk, with two blond shots affogato *glares at Valerie* and ristretto! I'd also love... three vanilla pumps at the very bottom, then add the coffee after, then add--
Valerie: ENOUGH! I'm not getting you two coffee!
Danny: Wow. I was getting massive chills just there, Dannie. Congrats!
Valerie: If I have to, I am willing to resort to torture methods to get answers outta you two.
Danny: When you say "torture", do you mean physical or psychological? Physical seems counterproductive; we would likely tell you anything if it meant an end to the pain, and you would have no way of knowing what was true!
(F/N): Or we might like it too much. And then you've got a whole new thing to deal with.
Valerie: What do you mean by that?
(F/N): Ah, you're stupid, huh? I can work with stupid. Mommy likey dummy.
Danny: Pfffft ahahahahahaha...! "Mommy likey"!
Valerie: You better stop laughing at me! You're the ones at my mercy!
(F/N): It's hard to resist, I'm really sorry. I mean, considering your approach thus far, you've had us tied here for what, hours? And you haven't even had us confirm what kind of ghosts we are!
Valerie: *leans down curious* What are you?
(F/N): I'm a Virgo.
Danny: HAH!
At this point Valerie was starting to get annoyed by this.
Meanwhile we see Dani struggling against the restraints as glare over at Vlad.
Dani: What is it with you and examination tables?! *struggled then she starts to melt again* Whoa!
Vlad floats over to her.
Vlad: Now, now, my dear, if you continue to struggle, there'll be nothing left of you to dissect.
Dani: Don't touch me!
Vlad pulls his hand back, which was covered in ecto-goo.
Vlad: Eww... *snaps his finger and a scanner comes up and scans Dani* Structural density?
He asked the hologram of Maddie's head.
Maddie Hologram: Fifty-three percent, dumpling. Eighty-percent, sweetums. Oh! Love the cologne you're wearing!"
Vlad: Ectoplasmic energy readings?
Maddie program: Unstable, cupcake.
Vlad: Clearly she is only mildly more sound than the other clones! The question is, why did she last longer than the rest?
Dani: Please tell me you've been working on something to stabilize me.
Vlad:.Oh, no, my child. I've had far more important matters to tend to. My Maddie upgrade, for instance. Right, dear?
Maddie program: Anything you say, my brilliant and ingenious lambchop. I love what you've done with your fangs!
Vlad: Well, Danielle, it seems the only way I'll be able to make a perfect clone is to melt you down and study your ectoplasmic remains.
Meanwhile with Danny, (F/N) and Valerie, the ghost duo was still trapped.
Danny: Valerie! You don't want to do this!
Valerie:."No, you two don't want me to do this! *holds up the ecto gun*
(F/N): Well, yeah! * Gets shocked* Ow.
Danny: Stop, please! I'll tell you about the portals! give you a map to the Ghost Zone, you can become the hero ghost hunter of Amity Park! But first, you need to let us go, and we need to save Danielle!
Valerie: But Vlad said the ghost side of her was out to get him and Amity Park.
(F/N): Geez you're gullible. The kid isn't out to get Vlad you idiot!
Danny: Infinite is right Valerie, you saw her! Did Dani really look like she could destroy anything?
Valerie: Funny...She asked me the same thing.
Danny: Look, the facts are, Danielle's ghost half is unstable. Vlad is out to destroy her. And if he destroys the ghost half, the human half is destroyed with it!
Valerie: No...That's not my problem! She is a ghost. And I destroy ghosts!
(F/N): Fine! Destroy ghosts! But can you really take part in destroying a human?
Valerie gets a concerned look, not only would she destroy a ghost she'd also destroy a human.
(F/N): Think about it, if you do this, you would be taking a life, not just an afterlife, her blood would be on your hands. And you'll live with the guilt of not only taking a ghost's life, but a child's life. Is that what you wanna do?! Take your anger and frustration out on someone that's done nothing to you?! Your no better than the ghosts that haunt Amity Park!
Valerie: N-no I-
(F/N): Of course it is, ever since you became a ghost hunter you've become consumed by revenge and anger, you'll shoot anything that gets in your way. Even an innocent child that's done nothing to you.
(F/N) then breaks out the restraints much to Danny and Valerie's shock, as she walks over to Valerie and continues her rant.
(F/N): Dani trusted you, she thought you were a hero-
Valerie: *Aims a ecto blaster at (F/N)* And I still-
Valerie was cut off when (F/N) took the blaster and crushed it in her hands and kicked Valerie back down before she could do anything (F/N) continued her rant.
(F/N): No you're not! You're not a hero, you're a mercenary for hire! You'd do anything for money! Even taking a child's life. You're a monster both inside and out, you're not a hero, you're a criminal, you're worse than the ghosts me and Danny fight!
Danny was surprised by this, sure (F/N) hated Valerie but she never heard her call someone a monster and a criminal and at this point Valerie was now crying, not fake crying, but real-crying after realizing what she did.
Valerie: *While crying* You're right... your right... I-I'm...
(F/N): Save it. We gotta get Dani. But we gotta make a pit stop first.
(F/N) then frees Danny from the restraints as Valerie was still weeping.
Danny: Wasn't that a bit much?
(F/N): She needed to hear it from someone, if not her dad then who else?
Danny: True.
We later see the trio arrive at Fenton where we see Danny and Valerie hold hands until Valerie takes her hand back.
Valerie: What makes you think the Fentons would have anything to help Dani? They are ghost hunters, not ghost helpers!
(F/N): Coming from the girl who used Dani as bait.
Valerie: *Flinches* Touche.
Danny: Yes, and no. My da-Jack Fenton tends to be a little of both.
(F/N): Even if he doesn't know it.
Danny: *Walks over to a counter and pulls out a small device called the Ecto-Dejecto* For the sake of all ghosts, we keep an eye on these guys and have a pretty good idea of what they're up to.
Valerie: You two don't think it's a little dangerous flying into the lab of a family of ghost hunters?
The trio looked over and saw a huge tank that had a ghost inside of it with Jack shoved up top of it.
Danny: Something tells me we'll be okay.
They all phase through the roof but not before Danny turns around and helps Jack then comes back and they make their way to Vlad's house.
They all enter through the front doors as we hear a voice scream.
Dani: *Off-screen* Guys! Heeeelp!
(F/N) and Danny: Dani!
Valerie: "It came from in there! *pointed towards the door at the end of the hallway, where Vlad Plasmius appears. "
Danny: We don't want to fight you, Vlad.
(F/N): We just want to save Danielle!
Vlad: Sorry, not on my watch.
Vlad blasts (F/N) and Danny into a bookcase. They both try to get up but the bookcase falls over on them and the two of them pass out.
Valerie flies at Plasmius, but he goes intangible, causing her to fly through him
Vlad: Feeling super in our souped-up suit, are we?
Valerie: Actually, yeah!
Plasmius: Not bad, but do you really think you can trap me, girl?
Valerie: I think I just did. *Plasmius phases into the wall behind him* What the?!
Plasmius: Breaking up is hard to do, unless you have a button that does this! *Pushes the button*
Valerie No!
Dani: Aaah! Dannyyyy! (F/N)!
Both the duo regained consciousness and woke up.
Danny: Danielle! Oh, no. Valerie. Did she see us change?
Dani: Heeeelp!!
(F/N): Well, no time to worry about that now come on!
The duo transformed and phased through the floor and entered the lab to see Danielle tied up to a table and screaming in pain while Valerie was just standing there on her glider.
Danny: Valerie! Why are you just standing around?
Then they all heard a knock off to the side.
Vlad: *From inside* Help! That horrible ghost trapped me and he's going to destroy the girl!
Valerie: Vlad?
(F/N): Hello? Vlad's right in front of you! *Points to Plasmius*
Valerie: Not him, Vlad Masters! This is his mansion! *flies down to the ground and opens the door to reveal Vlad Masters falling out and lands in her arms*
Vlad: As the sweet, caring, good-natured man that I am, I beg you, don't let him do it!
Val: *smiles at (F/N) and Danny* Ha! Told you he was a good dude!
(F/N): *Sighs* Oh my gosh you're an idiot.
(F/N) and Danny make their way to Danielle while Valerie is fighting Plasmius as they run up to the table and were electrocuted. Danny and (F/N) let out a yelp as they try to blast the restraints off of her.
Plasmius: It's going to take more than your little plasma ray for you to cut those ties, you two. *goes to fight Val*
Danny and (F/N) try and try again to shoot off the ties but it wouldn't work.
Danny: We can't break them, Danielle. There's only one more thing to try. *pulls out the Ecto- Dejector*
(F/N): *To Dani* Feeling brave?
Dani: A little weak in the knees, actually. And don't even have knees anymore!*see that her feet and ankles were gone and in the little tube of ecto-goo that was under her*
Danny: Well, then, I hope my dad didn't mend this Achilles' heel! *raised the device to her and sprayed her arm but nothing was happening.
Dani: I..think it's too late...Bye, Danny, (F/N), Thanks for...
Dani suddenly turned into a pile of ecto-goop.
Danny: Oh, no! No!! No! Dani... I... I failed you... I'm so sorry. * (F/N) placed a hand over her mouth, tears forming in her eyes.*
(F/N): *Cries* We're so sorry...
Danny wraps his arm around (F/N) and she buries her face into his shoulder as cry.
Dani: *Pops her head up* Guys? What's the trouble?
Danny and (F/N) look up at each other then over to the table to see Danielle's head poking out of the pile of goo.
(F/N) and Danny: *Excited* Hey!
Dani: Ha! I'm me again! knew you two wouldn't let me down! *hugged both of us and they hugged her back*
Valerie: A little help here?! * flies by with Plasmius right behind her*
Dani: With pleasure!
Dani flies after Plasmius and then grabs his cape and throws him against the lab wall.
Dani: I never got to thank you for the homecoming! *throws discs of ecto- energy at Plasmius, which he dodged.*
Plasmius: Ha! You missed me!
Dani comes up and punches him, hard, against the wall, knocking him out.
Dani: Guess that'll teach him to pick on a defenseless girl!
Valerie: There's no such thing.
Danny: Get Danielle out of here, Valerie. We'll be right behind you.
Dani and Valerie leave the lab.
Once they are out of earshot we turn to Vlad, arms folded across our chest.
of earshot we turn to Vlad, arms folded across our chest.
Danny: "Man, you really know how to work the system, don't you?
Plasmius disappears as Vlad walks up a smile on his face.
Vlad: It's my specialty.
Danny: Now Valerie blames Vlad Plasmius for trying to destroy Dani, leaving Vlad Masters in the clear. If only she knew you were one and the same. *glaring at the man*
Vlad: Well, you two could tell her. But I'm afraid I would have to counter your slanderous accusations by revealing your little secrets *he walks up to us* *Notices that (F/N) wasn't there* Wait where's-
Vlad was cut off when a foot hit him right in the crotch making him scream in pain as he fell to the floor as Danny saw it was (F/N).
(F/N): Don't come near her again you fruitloop!
Danny and (F/N) leave him behind and fly up out of his house.
Danny: Dani, that was awesome! Dani? *looked and saw Dani wasn't around.
(F/N) and Danny fly up to Valerie.
(F/N): Valerie, where's Dani?
Dani: *Appeared in front of them and said. "Boo!"
Then her and Val laughed as they jumped back in surprise.
Danny: *Sarcastically* Ha, ha. Very funny.
Dani: Thank you both! Vlad would've baked me into a puddle of nothing if you hadn't saved me!
Danny: That's what family's for, cuz!
(F/N): So, uh, now what? Heading off?
Dani: Yep! Now that this Phantom is fixed, she's got places to go.
Danny: Well, just be safe, okay?
Dani: Aw, Danny, nothing can hurt me now! *She kisses his cheek* See ya! And thanks, Valerie! *Flies off*
(F/N): Don't fly off dramatically, it takes a lot of energy!
Dani: *Off-screen* Noted!
(F/N) and Danny looked over at Valerie and held out their arms to her.
Valerie: What's that for?
Danny: Deal's a deal. You helped us save Dani, you may now have us back as your captive.
(F/N): And by us, he means him.
Valerie: Forget it.
Danny and (F/N): What?
Valerie:Fly away, ghost boy and girl. Before I change my mind.
Danny: All right! We're going! *She blasts him in the backside* Ow! What in--
Valerie: But don't think this is gonna last! Tomorrow, it's game on!
Danny: And we'll be ready to play!
(F/N): Oh uh, not me, I have a date night tomorrow with my wife.
Valerie: *Surprised* You're married?!
(F/N): Duh, *shows the ring* See.
Valerie: Huh, uhh... congratulations.
(F/N): Thanks. Oh and if you ever do something like this again...
(F/N) then transformed into her alien amalgam form and roared, unleashing a sonic wave which almost knocked Valerie off balance.
(F/N): *As her Alien Amalgam Form* I won't hold back next time we cross paths.
Valerie: *Scared* N-n-noted.
Danny: Easy sis, calm down.
(F/N): *Turns back* She started it, if it wasn't for her we wouldn't have been in that mess in the first place.
Danny: I... okay yeah true.
(F/N): Anyways I gotta get going see ya.
Danny: Same here.
We then see the duo go their separate ways leaving Valerie a little scared of (F/N) now.
Valerie: Okay... note to self, to tick off Infinite. And I told them Vlad was a good guy. *Remembers* Mr. Masters! I forgot about him! *Flies to Vlad's house* Mayor Masters? Are you okay? Mayor Masters?
As Valerie flies to Vlad's place she overhears Vlad talking.
Vlad: Disappeared! We were so close, if only we'd managed to melt that little brat down!
Valerie: *Hides behind the ruble* *Sees Plasmius* Is that Plasmius?
Vlad: And who knew Valerie would be so easy to fool? "Trapping" me in the closet. *He changes into his ghost form* Oh, ingenious! For a smart girl, she's very easily led.
Valerie: Vlad Masters is Vlad Plasmius?! Phantom was right all along! And all this time I've been doing all his dirty work! Well, not anymore. Better watch out, Vlad... 'cause one of the ghosts I'm hunting now is you!
???(F/N): You're just realizing that now?
Valerie yelped in surprise and saw it was (F/N), in anodite form.
Valerie: Infinite? I-I thought you-
(F/N): Left? Please I just wanted to see the shocked look when you found out your employer was half ghost and was just using you.
Valerie: What do you want? Come to get your butt kicked?
(F/N): No, and let me ask you this, what makes you think you can beat me? I'm more powerful than Danny or Vlad combined.
Valerie: Please you can't be-
(F/N) flicked a small mana ball at a tree as it caused a massive explosion which surprised Valerie.
Valerie: Uhh... nevermind. *Realizes* Wait, you were holding back?!
(F/N): Yes, I could have broken out of those restrictions earlier but I didn't. Now for why I'm here, I just want you to keep an eye on Dani alright?
Valerie: Uh sure, I can do that, but why?
(F/N): Because, even though she was made by Vlad, she's a good kid, and because me and Danny can't keep an eye on her, we need someone to watch over her.
Valerie: Yeah I can do that.
(F/N): Good. And for the last time, I'M AN ALIEN!!
(F/N) disappeared leaving Valerie alone.
Valerie: Definitely not messing with Infinite, I'll uh, I'll take her off the list.
Later that night we see (F/N) make it back home as Paulina, who was Chromostone, came by looking equally tired.
(F/N): Hey sweetie.
Paulina: *As Chromostone* Hey babe.
Both girls turned back to their human forms and shared a kiss and went inside as Paulina closed the door.
(F/N): So how was your mother daughter day with your mom?
Paulina: Pretty good, apart from getting hunted down by Skulker, getting flirted with by Dash, Chad and Tad, and getting dissed by Trixie. And then getting attacked by some huge rhino alien thing.
(F/N): Exo-Skull, and those smug little... when I see them I'm gonna-
Paulina: Easy babe, he's not worth it.
(F/N): Your right, your right.
Paulina: So what happened on your end?
(F/N): Well me and others were on patrol until Dani bumped into us, and she was losing her stability and well... you're not gonna like the next part.
Paulina: How bad is it? What did she do?
(F/N): Well...
5 minutes later.
Paulina: She did WHAT?!?!
(F/N): I know it's messed up.
Paulina: I can't believe it! It's one thing for her to hunt us down but using a child as live bait, that's a new low even for her! Oh when I see her I'm gonna scratch her hard as Rath!
(F/N): Easy hun, she changed sides last minute, sort of. In the end we saved Dani and I kind of half trusted Val to protect Dani if we were not around.
Paulina: Hmm, well okay. *Yawns* Let's go to bed sweetie.
(F/N): Good call.
