Hello Friends! It's been a while since I've written a lick of anything due to a major case of writers block... So I've decided to charge towards the gates head on with a Windows 8 touchscreen! If I don't end up with carpal tunnel I will consider myself the luckiest person alive because typing with the screen is really tiring! So without further ado... Here's Chapter 3!

"Crap, what's going on down here?" Danny coughed as dust kicked up from boxes that had been left untouched for years. Old movie posters filling each of them, rolled up carefully. Danny whipped his head around right as the door to the 'employees only' stairs busted off of its hinges, kicking up more dust and making Danny shield his eyes.

"Well look what we have here, looks like I have a phantom to play with now! All the more misery for me to much on!" A silhouette appeared from the enormous cloud of dust in the doorframe. Danny rose above the ground just inches above the floor as the dust cloud settled back down. His eyes narrowed and a frown immediately formed on his face.

"Penelope Spectra," was all he said as the red head appeared, her arms folded over her chest and a smirk on her face.

"Long time no see Danny, about a year it's been hasn't it?" Penelope greeted, shifting into her shadow form," no matter how long it's been, what matters is that I destroy you right here and now boy!" She lunged down towards Danny, giving him no time at all to respond as she grabbed Danny's arms and pinned them to his sides as she slammed in into the ground. A twisted grin on her face as she watched him squirm.

"Wow Danny, this last year hasn't been doing you any good!" Penelope scoffed," Don't worry, there's only one I in misery if you spell it that way!" She threw Danny into the wall, leaving an impact crater where he crashed. He phased through the wall, dodging a ghost ray disk. He shot back through like a cannonball, slamming right into her stomach and slamming her into the wall. She shot him back into the wall once again, leaving him in the rubble of the wall. Danny gritted his teeth, opening his eyes slowly as he tried to sit up. He was starting to see double as he watched Spectra lift her hand over her opposite shoulder, another ghost ray disk appearing around her fingers, this one growing to almost double the size of the doorframe.

"Sorry little Danny boy, looks like tonight I'll leave the winner," Penelope smirked, readying herself to fire. Danny phased through the rubble, stumbling as he stood up. He suppressed a ghost wail in his throat, as much as he wanted to blast her into next week he had to capture her and send her back through the ghost portal.

"Why are you even here Penelope? Don't you have other places to be other than the movie theatre?" Danny asked suspiciously. Penelope smirked," Well I figured I could just ruin the movie for everyone and feed on their misery that way, seems to have worked until now. However, it's not as satisfying as this huge amount of misery I'm sensing from somewhere in this theatre! the thought of it just gives me the chills! So much misery, I wonder what it tastes like..." She fell back, floating in midair on her back as she laughed maniacally. She regained herself quickly, putting both of her hands together to create an enormous ghost ray disk. Without hesitation she fired it directly as Danny, the speed behind the attack blinding Danny as he threw his arms up to block the attack. His eyes flew open to the sound of an explosion, one that happened to his left and completely destroyed some of the boxes. He smiled in despite of himself, glad to see he had someone on his side finally.

"I'm here Daniel, is this the one who is trying to cause you harm?" Nick asked, although it didn't sound like a question from her voice. Danny nodded," Don't worry though, I can take care of her." Nick didn't move, but only remained in front of Danny as Penelope's eyes widened with glee.

"You're the one, yes! Bertrand, get down here immediately!" Penelope ordered, and in an instant, the little butler appeared right at Spectra's side.

"Yes ma'am?" Bertrand inquired, his eyes narrowed as if he was already having a bad day. Penelope pointed at Danny," Take care of Danny Phantom! I want the girl!" she ordered greedily. Bertrand nodded his head, understanding his assignment. Penelope shot herself towards Nick, who dodged with ease and proceeded to chase the misery-obsessed ghost. Bertrand shape shifted into a ninja, busting out a few impressive moves before facing Danny.

"Come at me if you're ready to die!" Bertrand declared, motioning with his first two fingers for Danny to come at him. Danny sighed in frustration, and whipped out the Fenton Thermos.

"I have no time for this, just like last time!" Danny exclaimed, clearly bored as the Fenton Thermos quickly sucked Bertrand up and captured him. Danny glanced around quickly, finding no trace of Nick or Penelope Spectra. He flew up through the floor, following the explosions he was hearing.

"I have to find Nick and help her out, who knows what Penelope has up her sleeve?" Danny told himself, soaring through the theatre as groups of people fled out of the building in a huge wave.

With Nick

"You're a quick little one I shall give you that," Penelope joked, wiping her mouth with her arm. Nick didn't reply, her piercing gaze only followed Penelope as she flew around Nick in circles.

"Tell me little one, how much misery do you have bundled up in that fragile little body of yours, hmm? You can tell me, after all it will be me who eats it!" Penelope flew closer, ending up only inches away from Nick's face.

"Tell me, what exactly do you mean?" Nick asked, her eyes narrowing. Penelope busted out laughing," Don't play dumb with me! I can sense you have misery! Oh yes, I can feel it all right, it stains your very bones it does. You have things that you don't want to be re-introduced with, and you know it's true! Whatever it is, you've seen to have forced yourself to forget. You're very interesting my little meal, and you shall make a fine meal once I figure out what makes you cry out in true agony!" Penelope grinned, she reached for Nick, gripping her in her claws as she pulled Nick closer to her meet her face to face.

"It's something very deep, and dark, and even dangerous to you isn't it?" Penelope bellowed, slamming Nick into the wall as she flew around the perimeter of the room, dragging Nick along the wall as she did. Nick clenched her teeth, grimacing in pain after she found trying to escape useless.

"Tell me little one, did you do anything wrong and not tell anyone about it?! It almost feels like you were always doing something wrong in the eyes of someone!" Penelope chucked Nick, sending her into the concrete floor. Nick opened an eye painfully to see Penelope standing over her.

"No, I get it. No one loved you, so they left you to rot wherever they had pitched you," Penelope licked her lips, her devilish smile remaining on her face. Nick clenched her fists, her eyes stinging as they watered up. Penelope stomped down on Nick's raised arm, pinning her down," Looks like I hit it right on the head! Well, now I know your misery will taste absolutely delicious!" She raised her hand firing off a gigantic ghost ray disc right at Nick. Penelope grinned once again as Nick's arm fell limp and she returned to her human shape.

"So, you're just like that phantom boy, interesting indeed!" she concluded, she dove down towards Nick, about to begin to feast until she felt a violent tugging at her feet. She shot her head back just in time to see the Fenton Thermos and seeing it suck her inside. Danny exhaled, exhausted as he dropped the thermos in Tucker's hands. He walked over towards the hole Nick was in, a worried expression appearing on his face as he returned to Danny Fenton.

"Nick? Nick are you alright?" Danny asked, worried.

There was no answer.

Danny bit his lip as he climbed down into the hole, he knelt down next to Nick. He turned up towards his friend, who peered down from above.

"She seems to be out cold, now what?" Danny asked. Sam slid down and knelt down next to Danny," Well, this is horrible but we can take advantage of her being wounded and all, she said she was going to protect you and wouldn't leave your side right? Well now she has a good reason to be staying at your house for the time being. So she has a place to stay as well!" Danny's face burned as he frowned and pulled Nick up onto his back in a piggyback.

"Alright then, let's get her home before anything else crazy happens."
