"Back off, Vlad!" Sam suddenly shouted.

"After what you did to him, I'm surprised he hasn't killed you yet!" Valerie shouted, much to Vlad's surprise, but he hid his shock.

"Yeah, you're just lucky that Danny would never kill!" Tucker added angrily.

"I wouldn't doubt that. Just look at him." Vlad prodded.

Danny hadn't moved from his previous position. His hands still glowed and, his eyes still burned, and if anything changed, he looked more ready to land that man in the hospital.

The crowd inadvertently took several steps back. A large circle was formed around the ghost teen and Vlad.

"Go ahead, fire, Daniel. You'll only be proving my point." Vlad goaded.

"Don't do it, Danny! You're better than that!" Sam urged.

"Dude, he's just trying to get on your nerves!" Tucker shouted.

"I hate him as much as you do, but don't do this!" Valerie shouted.

The words seemed to sink into Danny's head and he lowered his fists, letting the charge die. His expression remained the same, though.

"Stay. Away. From. Me." Danny ordered angrily, teeth gritted.

"Or what?" The evil man challenged. "Are you going to shatter your reputation along with your morals just to obliterate someone who annoys you, hmmm?"

"That's it!" Danny shouted, lunging himself at the man.

Vlad was too slow to dodge and wasn't quite expecting the young boy to act so rashly. Danny had Vlad pinned to the floor and was punching like crazy. Vlad struggled underneath the teen. Eventually, Danny's three friends managed to pry him off Vlad and restrain him. Danny had not gone willingly though, he put up a fight, and a good one at that. Danny was still struggling in his friends' arms, momentarily forgetting about intangibility. His mind was clouded with rage.

"Let me go! Let me go so I can hurt him! He deserves it!" Danny shouted angrily.

The young ghost was putting up quite a fight and his friends were amazed at how strong he had gotten. The older half-ghost pulled himself to his feet and brushed himself off.

"See! This is what happens if Daniel loses his temper! He can't be trusted!" Vlad shouted.

Danny stopped struggling and the four teens glared angrily at the evil man.

"I suggest that you find someone who can contain him. Otherwise, you might be the next one that he attacks." Vlad warned.

The man turned to leave. He was walking until a small green beam hit him. The man yelped and whipped around. Danny stood there, held back by his friends, but was smirking. Vlad shot him a glare before stomping away.

"That felt so good." Danny admitted quietly.

"Is it safe to let you go now?" Sam asked.

"Now that Vlad's gone, yes." Danny replied, happy that Vlad was gone.

His friends released him and he straightened out his clothes that were ruffled from the fight.

"What the heck was that?!" Dash shouted, surprised by his idol's actions.

"Payback." Danny answered with a grin.

"Geez, he must have done a lot to you to make you that mad." A student commented.

Tucker and Sam almost wanted to laugh. Heck yeah, Vlad had done a lot to Danny! Valerie also knew that Vlad had done some pretty bad things, especially trying to melt what looked like Danny Phantom's sister.

"If I listed everything it would take me all day." Danny commented sourly.

Danny was suddenly interrupted by a sharp pull on his arm. He was jerked backward and he turned his head to see Principal Ishiyama pulling him away.

"You and me are going to have a serious talk about this." She told him sternly.

"Fine, but I can walk on my own." He snapped, indicating for her to let go of his arm and stop dragging him.

She reluctantly released his arm. He began walking behind her. She led him into her office where she sat down and motioned to a chair on the other side of her desk. Danny hesitantly took it.

"Why did you attack Mayor Masters?" She interrogated. Being angry, she could understand, but attacking?!

"He deserved it." Danny pouted, crossing his arms.

"What makes you say he deserved it?" She continued as calmly as she could.

"Everything!" Danny shouted in response, throwing his arms in the air dramatically. "He's done so many horrible things to me and my family that nothing will ever make me forgive him!"

"You looked like you were going to kill him." The woman stated.

"I'm not that low. I'd never kill anyone, but I wouldn't mind giving him a one-way trip to the hospital." Danny admitted bitterly.

She sighed. "I don't think that I'm cut out for this job. I'm going to call our junior councilor." The woman informed him.

"Junior councilor?" Danny questioned.

"Yes, one of our students. She is extremely bright and has taken to advising some of our troubled students." She replied.

"I am not troubled!" Danny shouted in denial.

The principal quirked an eyebrow at him. She picked up her phone and dialed a number. She turned around and made sure that Danny couldn't hear. A few moments later, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." The principal permitted.

A girl with red hair, teal eyes, a black shirt, and teal pants and headband walked in.

"Danny?" She gasped catching sight of her younger brother in ghost mode.

"Jazz?" He inquired.

"Good, you two know each other. I assume that you heard of the incident, Ms. Fenton?" The principal questioned.

"Incident?" Danny's sister asked, glaring at her younger brother.

The ghost boy smiled innocently.

"Danny, what have you done now? And why do you have your hood down? Has everyone found out?" She questioned.

"I didn't do anything bad and, yes, everyone has found out, no thanks to Dash." Danny replied resentfully.

"Ms. Fenton, we have the situation taped. If you would like to watch it…" Principal Ishiyama offered.

"Yes, please. I think that that would be a very good idea." Jazz accepted.

The principal stuck the tape into a TV set. The tape played and the two girls watched it. Danny didn't need to see it a second time. Unfortunately, there was no sound, so Jazz couldn't hear what was being said. You could easily tell that Vlad was insulting Danny, though. When the tape finished, Jazz turned to Danny tiredly.

"What'd he say?" She questioned.

"That I was dangerous and should be locked up for life." Danny responded angrily.

"I can't believe that jerk!" Jazz huffed.

"I'm sorry, but that is not what we're discussing." Principal Ishiyama stated.

"I already know why Danny would attack Vlad." Jazz admitted.

"But will that stop him from attacking again?" The woman questioned.

"I won't attack as long as he stays away from me." Danny assured.

"Jasmine, is there any way that you can get him to calm down and find a peaceful solution?" The principal requested.

"I'm sorry, but Danny's hatred toward Vlad is beyond solving. I know Danny; I've talked to him before, so trust me when I say that he has every right to be mad." The girl informed.

"I sure do! That fruitloop only wants to make me miserable!" Danny shouted.

"And he's not exaggerating." Jazz added. She leaned in close to the principal so that Danny couldn't hear what they were saying. "Danny's been kidnapped and tortured by Vlad and there's about a million other things that Vlad has done to him, although, there are a few that he doesn't talk much about." Jazz whispered.

"Jazz, the whole point of whispering is to make sure that the person you're talking about can't hear everything you're saying!" Danny reminded her.

"Danny, calm down!" Jazz ordered.

"I can't calm down!" Danny shouted back.

Jazz placed her hand on his tenderly. "Please?" she begged.

"It's not that easy." Danny mumbled, pulling his hand away so that he could fold his arms. He looked away from her, his eyes a mixture of sadness and anger.

"Can I talk to him alone for a moment?" Jazz requested.

The principal allowed it and walked out the door, leaving the teens alone.

"Danny…" Jazz started.

"Jazz, I almost wanted to kill Vlad for a moment."
