Jake struggled against the sphinx hair net. He growled in anger and frustration but his strength was fading quickly. He glared at the ghost boy but then saw his face. The ghost boy was just as startled as he was. In fact, the ghost looked completely shocked and clearly didn't know that dragons had a human form. After a moment of confusion, Danny ran over to the net and started to pull it off of Jake, much to Jake's surprise. Maybe he was wrong about Danny Phantom after all. However he was then blasted with a beam of pink energy.

Danny smacked into a crate, caught completely off guard. He glared at Vlad as he walked towards the two teens, smiling gleefully. "Plasmius!" Danny spat furious. The trapped teen watched the two ghosts, feeling used and ashamed. Danny fired a ghost ray at Vlad but it was merely deflected by a barrier of pink energy. "Come now Daniel, you know that your weak ghost rays are no use against me," Vlad commented. Danny knew that Vlad had planned this from the beginning. Now Vlad had a hostage and Danny couldn't attack Vlad properly without endangering the other teen.

However before Danny could come up with a plan, Vlad lunged forwards and grabbed Danny. He threw Danny to the ground next to the trapped teen and threw a small green box at Danny. It quickly grew and encased Danny in a box with only his head peeking out of the top. Danny scowled at Vlad. "Now, that's that," Vlad remarked and put on a show of clapping his hands together to rid them of imaginary dust. "Great, well done Plasmius, you trapped two teens in a trap. Good show, I mean I always knew you were afraid to take me on yourself but to use someone else… I didn't think you'd sink that low," Danny spat. Vlad smiled. "You're not going to provoke me Daniel," Vlad informed Danny calmly. "Well, it was worth a shot. I mean you never know what will work for a fruit loop," Danny quipped with a smile. Vlad snarled at Danny but turned away.

"Your turn. That box didn't hold Daniel long the first time for some reason. You should place them both in our prepared cage," Vlad announced to the warehouse. "Talking to yourself now Vlad… first sign of madness that!" Danny called to Vlad. Danny knew that if he could get Vlad close enough then perhaps the teen in the net could do something. However the teen looked drained for some strange reason. Vlad flashed an annoyed frown at Danny but did nothing. Suddenly the box receded and the boy in the net and Danny floated into the air surrounded by pink energy. The teen in the net scowled. "Magic!" he exclaimed to himself. Then a man in a suit and cape with smoothed back light brown hair emerged from the darkness beside Vlad. His arms were raised and with a movement of his hands, both teens were flung to the back of the warehouse. A crate opened and revealed a cage, softly glowing. The cage opened and both teens were thrown inside. The warehouse was then filled with malevolent laughter as both enemies celebrated.

So Pandarus is revealed.

Until the next chapter…
