I know this chapter is really short.

Villains is a series of one shots about each of Danny's villains that I will tie together in the end. As such, it will probably be my shortest story (wordwise)

Villains Part One
"Spectra"

"AAAHH!" Danny Phantom screamed as he dodged away from a massive green energy blast. The beam slammed into a car, which promptly exploded. Danny glared back at his attacker, who was prepping another shot.

Penelope Spectra. The psycho-witch ghost had been in Danny's school once, siphoning the misery of teens to keep her young. He'd fought her again since then, in a hospital of all places. The results of that battle had been... rather high in cholesterol.

But somehow, Spectra had separated that body from her spirit, and was now back to her black on black battle form. "You've lost weight," Danny quipped as he blasted Spectra. She countered with a blast of her own, and the two exploded when they collided.

"I will have your DNA, Danny," Spectra warned. "It's only a matter of time." He voice was falsely sweet as she taunted him. Danny wondered what use she had for his DNA now, though, that the North Mercy Hospital was finally demolished, all her equipment along with it.

A ball of black power exploded from Spectra's hands, and Danny had to get on the move again. Danny dodged to the side, knowing that the fire hydrant he was sitting in front of would get blasted. But when there was no loud 'pop' and no blasting water, Danny got concerned, and turned around.

He immediately wished he hadn't, as the black ball was coming back at him.

"Aaah!" Danny screamed again, dodging down. The ball flew over his head, but reversed directions and headed for him again. A homing attack... Suddenly, a familiar laser beam blasted it out of the sky... And, though relieved the attack was destroyed, Danny panicked.

No, not Mom! If Maddie Fenton were there, his job got a lot harder. His arm was already stinging, and he doubted he could move away in time.

Danny rolled over, expecting to stare into the barrel of one of his mother's anti-ghost weapons. So he was surprised when he looked up and saw the familiar face of his sister. "Jazz...?"

"I saw you fighting, and I couldn't let my brother get wasted. Not after that psycho psychiatrist put my head in a jar full of... me!"

Danny knew the given selfish motive of revenge was more ruse than anything, and he smiled. "Thanks."

Suddenly, the moment was interrupted when a green tiger jumped on Jazz and raised its paws to maul her...

"Bertrand!" Danny barked. He blasted off, slamming his shoulder into the beast, even as Jazz threw him the laser lipstick.

Danny blasted the green Tiger out of the air, forcing Bertrand to transform again...

Right as Jazz wrapped him up in the Jack o'Ninetales. "He's mine," she yelled at Danny. "Get Spectra!"

"Right," Danny nodded, blasting off back towards Spectra, who seemed to be doing something to the ground near the fire hydrant...

And realized that she was scraping from the ground something green... Blood! Danny's ghost blood! He glanced down at the arm he'd felt hurting earlier and realized that there was a large gash along one side of it. Gotta be more careful, he scolded himself.

"Ah, you're back," Spectra said. "Too bad you're too late to stop me from getting your DNA, eh?" Spectra smiled and backed away, reverting to her human-esque form before vanishing altogether.

"NO! Stop!" Danny looked around, but could find Spectra nowhere, and his ghost sense could only detect the presence of a ghost, not the location. He flew aroudn the block, but as expected, was unable to find Spectra...

"Well, at least we have Bertrand."

At that point, Jazz darted over, waving the Jack o'Ninetales. the empty Jack o'Ninetales.

"Sorry Danny," Jazz called. "'Beast Boy' got away and I couldn't get this thermos to work," Jazz said, shaking the Fenton Thermos. Danny realized it was one he hadn't charged with his powers yet.

"Aw, poop," Danny sighed.

He flew to the ground and detransformed, still not terribly used to Jazz knowing his secret, or, more accurately, knowing that Jazz new. "Spectra got away too, I have no way of finding her. Want to go by the Nasty Burger? I'm starving."

"Sure," Jazz said. "But I expect you to look for her later. You have to be responsible or I'll have to revise my journal."

Danny glanced back at Jazz, wondering about that. He shrugged it off. It was only normal that she'd mention something about it in her journal... Suddenly, something occurred to Danny.

"Hey, Jazz. You have any money? I'm broke."

oooo

Somewhere dark.

Somewhere secret.

A figure strode up with a small canister of green ghost blood. "I have it," she said, handing it to another silhouette, this one much larger. The only similarities between them were the massive horns that their shadows implied.

Though in reality they weren't horns at all... but horns would have suited both persons well, considering their dark souls.

"Good job," The man said, "apprentice."

Yep, that's it for now. If you need a longer Danny Phantom fix, you could always read my other DP stories, To Charm a Ghost and Time Phantom. I'd appreciate all the concrit I can get.
