D-STABILIZED (YOUR SCREAMS WON'T DISSOLVE!)

In an alley way in between a couple of buildings at the edge of Amity Park in Elmerton, Dani and Dale Phantom were hiding. They came out of the shadows and they were in their ghost forms and looking pretty tired and weak, but they both smiled in relief that they finally made it back to Amity Park.

"Finally we're back" Dani said as she wiped some sweat off her forehead.

Dale then noticed his reflection in the window near them and said with worry, "Woah that's one scary ghost. We have to get to Danny and Dayla fast"

Dani nodded and they both started flying, but instead of flying fast they were both going at a very slow rate. Ever since they left Amity Park a few months ago, they both had been getting weaker and had a few close calls dissolving into ectoplasm but now it was getting worse and they both hoped that Danny and Dayla can help them.

They both suddenly felt tired and landed back on the ground and panted heavily, they both then screamed in fright when they saw ectoplasm melting from their feet. They both then concentrated really hard and the ectoplasm then formed back into their feet.

"I really hope Danny and Dayla can help us" Dani said.

"Sis I'm scared" Dale said. Dani hugged her brother and said, "It'll be okay Dale. It's not that far now, just hold on a bit longer"

Dale nodded but then they both jumped in fright when they heard noises behind them, they thought it was Vlad coming after them since he would still be angry at them both when they joined Danny and Dayla and destroyed his main clone.

"We can't let him find us!" Dale said in a panicky frightened voice and then huddled closer to Dani.

Dani looked around once more and saw there was no-one there. She then said, "Okay. Don't worry Dale. Vlad is all the way in Colorado, there's no way he could know we're here"

"You're right" Dale said after calming down. "Let's get a move on"

They both then took to the air again and started heading for Danny and Dayla's place, they were both unaware however that one of Vlad's spy bugs had caught them and was now following them and watching them on a camera in his Mayoral mansion was Vlad in his ghost form. He floated in the air while petting his pet cat Maddie and when he saw the image of Dani and Dale, he grinned evilly with interest.

"Well, well. The return of the prodigal children" Plasmius said. "They've looked better and yet they survived. The question is why?"

"Meow" Maddie screeched.

Plasmius's grin grew wider and said, "Oh yes I agree Maddie. It's time for a little research"

"But they're hardly going to come running home to daddy" He then said with a frown.

Maddie then jumped out of his arms and landed on his desk and then sat in front of a small red button that was labelled with Valerie's name on it. Plasmius grinned once more and said, "Oh Maddie you are so brilliant! Yes let's call on daddy's little helper"

Plasmius then changed back into Vlad Masters and landed on the ground, he sat down at his desk and pressed the button and in just a few seconds, Valerie opened the window at his mansion and came flying in on her hover board. She still had the suit that Technus upgraded that time when he tried to take over the super computer at Axion Labs. She put away her hover board and then stood in front of Vlad's desk smiling.

"Well that certainly was fast" Vlad complimented. "My don't you look fancy"

"I got a few upgrades" Valerie said.

"Well perhaps you'd be willing to upgrade your life as well. Wouldn't you like to finally move out of that run-down apartment?" Vlad offered as he continued to pet Maddie.

Valerie nodded and then asked looking serious, "What do you need Mr Masters?"

"A little bounty hunting" He said.

"Hunting down ghost scum is what I'm all about" She said. "The target?"

"The Phantom Twins" He answered as he pressed a button on his computer.

"The Phantom Twins? As in Danny and Dayla Phantom? Those two have been a couple of intangible pains in my butt for a long time" Valerie said with distaste in her voice.

"Oh no! Sorry my dear. Not Danny and Dayla Phantom" Vlad explained as he turned the computer screen and showed her Dani and Dale flying through the air. "Dani with an 'I' and Dale Phantom. A different pair of ghost twins"

"You're kidding? Dale I get but there's also a girl called Dani Phantom?" Valerie asked. She then scoffed and commented, "These ghosts have got to come up with more original names"

"Yes well this Dani and Dale Phantom are a couple of incredibly evil ghosts out to destroy me" Vlad lied faking a look of concern on his face.

"What have they got against you?" Valerie asked.

"Word must be out that I'm hunting down ghosts" Vlad continued his lie. "Once they bring me down, who knows what kind of terror they'll unleash on our fair city"

"There's no way I'm letting those ghost kids get to you Mr Masters" Valerie said with determination. "They're as good as caught"

She then opened her small tracker on her wrists and typed in to locate and lock onto Dani and Dale's ecto signature which then showed where Dani and Dale are. Vlad smiled gently and said, "I knew I could count on you Valerie"

"And I'm glad I can count on that new apartment" Valerie said as she summoned her hover board and then took off out the window beginning her hunt for Dani and Dale Phantom.

As soon as she was gone, Vlad's smile changed to a wicked grin and he said, "It'll be so nice to get my children back"

He then laughed evilly into the air, Maddie meowed in offence which caused him to stop. He then petted the cat and said, "Oh relax Maddie. You're still my favourite"

Valerie soared through the air on the hunt, along the way she flew past her apartment and saw her father asleep on the chair. She looked at him sadly and said, "Daddy when I catch these ghost kids, I promise to finally move us out of this crummy place"

Her tracker then beeped and the computer on her wrist told her exactly where Dani and Dale were. She smiled and started heading towards the co-ordinates. Dani and Dale hid in an alleyway and just around the corner was a fruit store, they changed into their human forms.

"Dani I'm hungry" Dale said.

"Me too" Dani said. She then looked at the apples and said, "If we wanna reach Danny and Dayla we've got to keep up our strength"

They both looked into their pockets to see if they had any money, but looked down sadly to see that their pockets were empty. They both were unaware that Valerie had just arrived right at where they were. She remained in the air and looked at her tracker in confusion.

"What's going on? The co-ordinates brought me right here, but that fruit guys not a ghost and neither are those kids" Valerie said as she kept typing into the keyboard.

She then watched the kids from above. Dani and Dale secretly made their hands intangible and even though they didn't want to take the apples, they realised they had no choice. They both then phased their hands through the wood and then grabbed the apples, the fruit shop owner noticed them and got suspicious.

They both smiled nervously at him as he demanded, "Alright. Let me see your hands"

So they pulled out their hands and when he saw there was nothing there but air, he freaked out and ran off while Dani and Dale ran down the alley with their hands behind their back. They both then pulled out the apples they took and began eating them.

"Man they're good! I didn't even see them pocket them" Valerie said with an impressed smile. She then looked sadly as she noticed their dirty clothes. "Poor kids. I know where they're coming from"

Suddenly two alarms blared from her suit, Dani and Dale heard the alarms and dropped the apples, they both then turned and noticed Valerie in the air and became scared but Valerie just thought the alarms were telling her that the ghosts she's looking for are around here and must be attacking Dani and Dale.

"Don't worry kids. I'm not gonna let some ghost freaks get you two" Valerie said as she started flying towards them.

Dani then grabbed Dale's hand and they both started to run away. Valerie landed on the ground and her hover board disappeared. She then watched Dani and Dale run inside a building that had a sign that said 'Do Not Enter'.

Dani and Dale saw a table and decided to hide there, when they ran over one of the weak floor boards caused a beam that was supporting the roof to almost fall. Valerie then entered the place and turned on a flash light that was on her helmet and started looking for them.

"Listen kids, I know your both in here and I know something evil is hunting you two" Valerie said in a calm voice.

They both peeked and then Dale said, "Yeah no kidding"

"But I can protect you two if you just trust me and come out" Valerie finished as she started walking around looking for them.

She accidently stepped on the floorboard and this time the beam fell, the place started shaking and Valerie gasped at the sight of the roof about to collapse right on top of them. She then watched as Dani and Dale then came out of their hiding spot and changed into their ghost forms, they both grabbed onto Valerie and turned her intangible and then pulled her out the building.

They all landed on the ground and watched as dust exploded out of the building. Valerie then backed away from Dani and Dale and just looked at them, then realising she had found her targets but didn't expect this.

"Your both kids and ghosts?" She asked shocked.

"And your welcome" They both said with weak smiles.

Valerie then stood up and exclaimed, "The ghost kids!"

"Yeah but you can just call us Dani and Dale" Dale said as they both stood up and held out their hands for her to shake them.

Valerie frowned and said, "Oh I will"

She then pulled out a stick and then suddenly Dani and Dale gasped as a beam of energy came from it and bound their hands together like handcuffs. Valerie then finished, "Got ya Dani and Dale Phantom"

They both looked up at her in fear knowing they were in big trouble now. Meanwhile at Fenton Works Danny and Dayla were down in the lab with Jack and Maddie as they were testing out something.

Danny looked at his watch and said, "Dad we really got to go. Sam, Tucker and Andrew have been waiting for us for half an hour to pat…."

He stopped realising what he was about to say and then quickly covered up with a lie, "Patroclus. To do our report on Patroclus. A Greek warrior friend of Achilles"

Dayla smiled in relief. Jack then said as he showed them a needle filled with some sort of green liquid, "Your math homework can wait. Check out my latest invention kids. I call it Ecto-Dejecto"

"One shot of this no-ghost goo and a ghost's powers shrivels up like a raisin in the sun" He finished explaining.

He then turned to a small gooey looking ghosts that was inside a jar with a small hole at the top on the lab bench. Jack then said as he injected some of the Ecto-Dejecto into it, "Take this little spooky stinker for example. Yeah he's tiny but terror comes in all sizes. Just hit him with some Ecto-Dejecto and watch it go from tiny to gone"

They all then watched and expected the ghost to be destroyed but suddenly the ghost started getting larger and larger, the glass jar then broke but luckily none of them got glass in their eyes as they shielded themselves from the oncoming glass, the ghost then got bigger and it roared in anger and got ready to attack them.

"Maddie quick! The ecto rope!" Jack said.

"On it!" Maddie said with determination and then a lasso of ecto rope came out of her glove and wrapped itself around the ghost and held it still. Jack then told Dayla, "Quick Dayla! containment!"

She ran over to the large containment unit and opened the door, Maddie then let go of the rope and the ghost fell backwards inside. All four of them then leaned against the door and waited for the door to lock.

Jack then scratched his head and said, "I just don't know why I can't seem to get the kinks out of this one"

Inside the containment unit was more ghosts that Jack had made stronger thanks to Ecto-Dejecto and the unit was getting fuller with each one. Dayla then suggested, "Uh any objections to me and Danny getting far, far away from here?"

"Good idea Dayla" Maddie agreed. "It's best you and your brother avoid any unnecessary contamination"

"Or embarrassment" Danny muttered under his breath.

"Thanks" They both said and then ran out of there. Jack then looked at the Ecto-Dejecto and suggested, "Maybe I just need a bigger needle"

Meanwhile Valerie had taken Dani and Dale into the boiler room of the apartment building where she lived. In the corner of the room Dani and Dale struggled and tried to break free of their bonds that cuffed their hands and ankles.

"Let us go!" They both pleaded fearfully.

"Not on your afterlives ghost kids" Valerie sneered.

They both continued to struggle and then they both gasped as they noticed that once again their hands were melting a little bit. Dani then said, "That's what we're afraid of"

"What are you going to do with us?" Dale asked.

"Me? I'm not doing anything with you two" Valerie said. She then smirked as she pulled out a mobile phone and finished, "I've got you both all bundled up for delivery to Vlad Masters"

"You're working for Vlad?! He'll destroy us!" Dani shouted.

"Ha! That's a good one! He told me the only reason you two came out of the Ghost Zone was to destroy him" Valerie said now frowning at them.

"WHAT?!" They both exclaimed completely shocked. Dale then shouted, "No! He's lying!"

"Vlad Masters is a good man" Valerie retorted as she began to dial Vlad's number. "He has never lied to me"

"Are you crazy?! Just look at us! Do we look like we could destroy anything?" Dale asked pointed out.

Valerie ignored his question and turned her back on them and pressed the call button on the phone. Dani then tried once more and hoped she'd listen, "Vlad is evil and even though we knew he was hunting us, we chanced coming here because we're dissolving into nothing. Only two people can help us. Danny and Dayla Phantom"

Valerie then stopped as soon as she heard those words and hung up the phone. She then thought of an idea, since these two seem to know Danny and Dayla Phantom, it will be the perfect opportunity for her to capture them once and for all. She then smiled and asked them pretending she was a fan, "You two know the ghost twins?"

"Yes. Do you?" Dani asked.

"Of course everybody in Amity Park knows of the amazing ghost heroes Danny and Dayla Phantom" Valerie said as she pretended to idolise them. "But I never had the honour of meeting them"

"We'll introduce you" Dale said with a hopeful smile. Dani then added, "Just set us free so we can see them"

"Oh I'll let you both see them" Valerie said. She then turned fully around while smirking and said under her breath, "For the last time"

In the air Danny and Dayla flew keeping an eye for ghosts while Sam, Tucker and Andrew rode their scooters down the road. So far there was no ghosts tonight. Sam smiled and said through her Fenton Phone to Danny, "A report on Patroclus? I'm impressed"

"Thanks. I guess I really do absorb some things while sleeping in class" Danny said.

"Just don't try and continue to make a habit of it bro" Dayla said with a smirk.

"Well guys I don't think there really is any ghosts attacks tonight" Andrew said. Tucker nodded and said, "He's right. Tonight's ghost hunting scene is pretty much dullsville"

They all then drove straight past Dani and Dale Phantom floating in the air. All three of them stopped their scooters and watched as Dani and Dale then flew off. Tucker then said, "Unless of course you count the sudden appearance of Danny and Dayla's long lost ghost cousins"

"What? Our cousins?" Danny and Dayla asked through their Fenton Phones.

But when they looked back up, they gasped at the sight of Dani and Dale about to crash. All four of them tried to stop but it was too late and they all crashed into each other and all of them screamed as they fell on the roof of a building.

They all groaned in pain but as soon as Dani and Dale saw it was Danny and Dayla, they both smiled and said, "Danny! / Dayla!"

Danny and Dayla sat up and then they both heard Sam through their Fenton Phones, "Danny? Dayla? Those were your cousins' right?"

"We got this one guys" Danny said.

"You guys can go home" Dayla said. "We'll take care of our cousins"

"Did we just get blown off?" Andrew asked.

"Pretty massively" Sam answered.

"Wanna pig out at Nasty Burger and put it on Danny's tab?" Tucker asked.

"Absolutely" Andrew and Sam both answered and then all three of them headed off to Nasty Burger.

"Danielle? Dale? Are you two okay?" Dayla asked as both she and Danny helped their clones up. When they let go of their hands, green ectoplasm was on their gloves.

"You both look awful" Danny said in concern. He then asked, "What happened to you two? Last time we saw you guys, you both flew off kind of dramatically"

"Do you know how hard it is to fly off dramatically?" Dani asked and then they both concentrated hard and managed to bring the ectoplasm back in their hands. "That plus our last battle with Vlad left us pretty wiped out. As much as we tried to save our strength since then, we keep getting weaker"

"We came back because we need both you and Dayla's help to see if you can make us stabilised but as soon as we got into town Vlad came after us" Dale then finished.

They both became angry at the sound of Vlad hunting them down. Dayla kneeled down in front of them and placed comforting hands on their shoulders as she said with determination, "They're not gonna touch either of you Dale"

"We won't let that happen" Danny then said. "Come with us. We'll protect you"

They all then took to the air and were about to head for Fenton Works when suddenly two pairs of claws grabbed Danny and Dayla by their ankles and stopped them. All four of them gasped when they saw it was Valerie!

"I knew you'd both take the bait Phantoms" Valerie said smirking.

"Bait? Was this a trap?" Danny and Dayla both asked Dani and Dale.

"No! No! We would never do that" Dale said. Dani then explained, "She saw us go ghost and was gonna turn us over to Vlad until we told her we knew you two"

"It's true Phantoms" Valerie admitted. "The little ecto brats had no idea I was using them to get to you two"

"You what?!" Dani and Dale asked angrily.

"And they actually believed I wanted the honour of meeting Danny and Dayla Phantom when I really just wanted the honour of destroying you two!" Valerie finished and then sent an electric pulse through the claws.

Danny and Dayla screamed in pain as they were both electrocuted, Valerie kept it going for another minute and then stopped, the claws then let them go and they both fell to the ground unconscious.

"Y…You tricked us!" Dani and Dale shouted.

Valerie just continued to smirk and then aimed her blaster at them. Before they could do anything, they both screamed as they were blasted to the ground next to Danny and Dayla and then they both fell unconscious.

Valerie laughed and then said, "Now that's four Phantom's for the price of two"

Danny and Dayla groaned as they woke up, they both then gasped as they remembered what happened. They both looked around and found themselves in a boiler room, they then saw their hands were encased in large metal cuffs that held them in the air and their feet were encased in large metal cuffs as well. They both tried to pull against the cuffs and even tried to go intangible to escape, but unfortunately the cuffs were ghost proof.

They both then stopped as they heard Valerie's voice say, "I finally got you both where I want you"

They both watched as she came out of the shadows. She then demanded, "But now I want answers Phantoms"

"You're not getting anything until you tell us what you did with Dani and Dale" Danny said angrily.

"Oh they're getting what's coming to them" Valerie said with a smirk.

"Just tell me that you didn't hand them over to Vlad" Dayla said.

"Well that would be a lie now wouldn't it?" Valerie retorted.

"Well you didn't seem to have any trouble lying to Dani and Dale" Danny said. "Look I know that we've had our issues and clearly you're not big on forgiveness, but Dani and Dale doesn't have anything to do with you hating us"

"I don't hate you two Danny" Valerie said. She then walked over to a table on the side of the room as she continued, "It's because of you two that I'm the most powerful ghost hunter in Amity Park"

"Hey! What about the Fenton's?" Dayla asked in offence.

"Ha! Are you kidding? They couldn't catch a ghost if it was living under their own roof" Valerie scoffed.

"True" Danny and Dayla agreed. Valerie then continued, "But knowledge is power and with both your knowledge, I'll have the power to rid Amity Park of its constant ghost invasions forever"

"So you want information?" Dayla asked. Valerie nodded and answered, "Everything you both got. On the Ghost Portals, the Ghost Zone"

"And what if neither of us feel like talking?" Danny challenged.

"Then I'll need to find ways to persuade you" Valerie said as she opened the case on the table and pulled out some sort of gun with two metal prongs at the top of it. She pressed a button and it let off an electrical current causing Danny and Dayla to gasp in fear.

Meanwhile Dani and Dale were taken down to Vlad's lab and were strapped down to individual examination tables by a large metal strap. They both continued to struggle to break free, but were unsuccessful.

"What is it with you and examination tables?!" They both shouted and then continued to struggle, they both then stopped and gasped in fright when their legs melted a little bit.

"Now, now my dears if you continue to struggle, they'll be nothing left of you two to dissect" Vlad said as he walked up them in his ghost form.

He then placed a hand on Dale's forehead and Dani demanded angrily, "DON'T TOUCH HIM!"

Suddenly Dale's face melted a little bit, Vlad cringed in disgust and pulled his hand back. He then snapped his fingers and then a couple of robotic scanners scanned both the struggling Dani and Dale.

"Structural density?" Vlad asked the holographic Maddie as she appeared in the room.

"53% dumpling" Holo-Maddie answered.

Dani and Dale both groaned weakly as the goo went back into their bodies. Holo-Maddie then changed the answer, "85% sweetie. Oh I love the cologne you're wearing"

"Ectoplasmic energy readings?" Vlad then asked.

"Unstable cupcake" Holo-Maddie answered.

"Clearly they are only more mildly sound than the other clones" Vlad concluded. "The question is, why did they longer than the rest?"

Dani and Dale both looked at Vlad weakly and then Dale asked hopefully, "Please tell me you've been working on something to stabilise us"

"Oh no my child. I've had far more important matters to attend to" Vlad said with a smile. "My Holo-Maddie upgrade for example. Right dear?"

"Whatever you say Vlad my brilliant and ingenious lamb chop. I love what you've done with your fangs" Holo-Maddie complimented which earned her a dashing smile from Vlad.

He then turned his attention back to Dani and Dale and smiled evilly at them as he said, "Well Danielle and Dale it seems the only way I'll be able to make a perfect clone, is to melt you both down and study your ectoplasmic remains"

They both looked at him fearfully at the sound of that. Meanwhile back at the boiler room, Dayla then tried pleading with Valerie as she came closer to them with the torture device, "Valerie! Please you don't want to do this"

"No you don't want me to do this" Valerie said with a smirk.

"Well yeah…" Dayla began to say but she was cut off as Valerie started electrocuting her with the device in the stomach and she screamed in pain.

"STOP!" Danny shouted causing Valerie to stop and Dayla panted heavily as her head hung low. He then said, "We'll tell you about the portals. We'll give you a map to the Ghost Zone and you can become the hero ghost hunter of Amity Park, but first you need to let us go and we need to save Danielle and Dale!"

She frowned and demanded, "Why?! Because they're one of your kind?! A couple of ghosts?!"

She then started electrocuting Danny in the stomach, he screamed in pain and then she stopped. He then shouted, "No! Because they're one of yours! Humans!"

She looked at them both in shock and then Dayla said, "They're not just ghosts, and they're also a couple of kids"

"But Vlad said the ghost part of them was out to get him and Amity Park" Valerie said.

"Valerie you saw them! Did Dani and Dale really look like they could destroy anything?" Danny asked.

"Funny. They asked the same thing" Valerie said and she started thinking about it all. Dayla then continued, "Look the facts are Danielle's and Dale's ghost halves are unstable. Vlad is out to destroy them and if he destroys the ghost half, the human half is destroyed along with it"

Valerie shook her head and retorted, "No! That's not my problem! They're ghosts and I destroy ghosts"

"Find destroy ghosts! But can you really take part in destroying two humans?" Danny asked.

Valerie thought about what they said and then looked down in regret. She said nothing and released them from their cuffs. They all then headed to Fenton Works and phased inside the lab and began looking around.

"What makes you two think the Fenton's would have anything to help Dani and Dale?" Valerie asked with confusion. "They are ghost hunters not ghost helpers"

"Yes and no" Danny said. They all walked over to the lab tables and began looking for something that can help. "Da…I mean Jack Fenton tends to be a little of both"

Danny and Dayla both then smiled at the two vials of Ecto-Dejecto. If they're right because Jack hasn't perfected it yet, it should be enough to stabilise both Dani and Dale. They both picked up a vial each as Danny said, "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"

"You guys don't think it's a little dangerous flying into the lab of a family of ghost hunters?" Valerie asked.

They all then heard a noise and looked to see Jack squashed against the roof of the containment unit inside along with all the ghost he made stronger with the Ecto-Dejecto. Dayla then said, "Something tells me we'll be okay"

Danny then grabbed Valerie's arm and they all turned intangible and phased through the roof of the lab. Dayla then quickly came back and pushed the valve on the containment unit and then took off. All the ghosts inside were then sucked through a pipe and sent back into the Ghost Zone through the portal.

Jack then fell to the floor inside the containment unit and looked to see all the ghosts were gone. He smiled and said, "Am I good or what?"

Danny and Dayla flew through the air beside Valerie as she rode her hover board heading towards Vlad's mansion. They both were unaware that one of Vlad's spy cameras had caught them and now was sending a live video feed directly to Vlad's lab.

"Intruder alert dearest heart" Holo-Maddie announced.

Plasmius had just finished strapping Dani and Dale to the melting device that would melt them down and destroy them and underneath their feet was large metal units where they're ectoplasm would be collected. They both saw the image and both exclaimed, "Danny! / Dayla!"

"Phantoms! Argh what a couple of nuisances" Vlad growled. He walked over and then he saw Valerie on the screen as well. "And Valerie! Well this is inconvenient at best. Can't let her discovering the truth now can we?"

He then duplicated and then the duplicate changed into Vlad Master. Plasmius then said with a smirk, "Time to assume my role in our little production"

The duplicate who changed into Vlad's human form ran over to the closet and locked himself inside. Plasmius then turned off the Holo-Maddie and then flew out of the lab to take care of Danny, Dayla and Valerie.

Danny, Dayla and Valerie phased inside the mansion and landed on the floor. All three of them then heard Dani and Dale shout, "DANNY! DAYLA! HELP!"

"Dani! / Dale!" Danny and Dayla called out.

Valerie then said as she pointed to the fireplace, "It came from in there"

But before they could do anything Plasmius phased through the floor and stood ready to fight them. Danny then said, "We don't want to fight you Vlad! We just want to save Danielle and Dale"

"Sorry not on my watch" Plasmius said and then blasted two ectoblasts at both Danny and Dayla.

The blasts hit them dead on and sent them both flying into a book shelf, they both fell to the ground but before they could get back up the book shelf landed right on top of them. Valerie then activated her hover board and charged straight at Plasmius.

Danny and Dayla tried getting up but they both fell unconscious and changed back into their human forms. Meanwhile Plasmius turned intangible and Valerie went right through him. He then turned tangible and turned around and sent a blast at her as he asked sarcastically, "Feeling super in our new supped up suit are we?"

Valerie stopped the blast with a shield and then smirked as she said, "Actually yeah"

She then fired metal barbs at Plasmius which attached him to the wall by his cape and sleeve. He then smirked as he asked, "Not bad but do you really think you can trap me girl?"

"I think I just did" Valerie retorted smugly.

Plasmius grinned and then turned intangible and phased right through the wall leaving Valerie completely shocked. He phased back down into the lab and then headed over the machine controls and placed his hand on the leaver.

"Breaking up is hard to do unless you have a button that does this" He said and then pulled the leaver down and activated the machine.

Dani and Dale both began to scream as an electric energy current began and they felt themselves starting to fall apart. Plasmius laughed but then stopped as he heard an explosion and he looked behind to see Valerie had blasted her way into the lab.

"NO!" Valerie screamed as she saw she was too late.

Dani and Dale's feet began to melt and they screamed louder. Back on the second floor Danny and Dayla woke up to the sounds of their screams and heard, "DANNY! / DAYLA!"

"Danielle! / Dale!" They both shouted. They both then saw that they were in their human forms and panicked a little as Danny asked, "Oh no! Valerie! Did she see us change?"

They both heard another scream and then Dayla said, "There's no time to worry about that now!"

Quickly they changed back into their ghost forms and turned intangible and phased right through the floor, they both then gasped at the sight of Dani and Dale melting and Valerie was just standing there.

"Valerie! Why are you standing around?" Dayla asked.

They all then heard someone knock on the door of the closet and heard the voice of Vlad call out, "HELP! That horrible ghost trapped me and is going to destroy the kids!"

"Vlad?" Valerie said in confusion. Danny then pointed out gesturing to Plasmius, "Hello! Vlad's standing right in front of you"

"Not him! Vlad Masters! This is his mansion" Valerie corrected and then flew down and jumped off her hover board.

She ran over to the closet and opened the door. The duplicate that changed into Vlad Masters then pretended to almost faint and Valerie caught him. He then faked a plea, "As the sweet caring good natured man that I am, I beg you! Don't let him do it!"

"Ha! Told you he was a good dude" Valerie said victoriously.

Danny and Dayla frowned but then turned their attention to Dani and Dale who were continuing to melt at a fast rate and flew down to them. Valerie turned to Plasmius and demanded as she blasted him to the wall, "What are you doing to them?! Stop it now!"

Vlad yelped in pain as he hit the wall from the blast. Danny and Dayla tried to rip the cuffs off their feet, but they both were electrocuted and pushed back, they both then immediately tried blasting at the cuffs but it didn't work, but wasn't going to stop them from keep trying.

"It's going to take more than your little plasma ray to cut those ties kids" Plasmius said as he stood up with a grin.

Valerie got on her hover board and flew in front of him, she then blasted him again and this time created a hole in the wall as he was blasted. Dani and Dale both screamed as Dani's knees were now melted and Dale was now melted up to his waist.

"We can't break those guys. There's only one thing left to try" Dayla said and she and Danny pulled out the vials of Ecto-Dejecto from their pockets. "You two feeling brave?"

"A little weak in the knees actually and I don't even have knees anymore!" Dani shouted in panic.

"Well then let's hope our dad didn't mend this Achilles heel" Danny said.

Danny then injected his vial of Ecto-Dejecto into Dani's arm while Dayla injected her vial into Dale's but nothing happened and they both continued to melt and become weaker.

"I think it's too late" Dale said. Dani and Dale both then began to say as they melted more, "Bye guys. Thanks for…"

And with one final breath, Dani and Dale Phantom melted fully and landed in the metal units below and were nothing but piles of ectoplasm.

"NO!" Danny and Dayla cried as they both kneeled in front of the units. Dayla then began to cry, "We failed you guys"

Danny pulled Dayla into a tight hug and started to cry as well as he said, "I'm so sorry"

Suddenly the heads of Dani and Dale appeared out of the puddles. They both smiled at Danny and Dayla and said in unison, "Guys what's the trouble?"

They both stopped crying and then turned and saw them. They both smiled and then watched as they laughed happily and flew out of the puddle completely whole. The Ecto-Dejecto worked and now they no longer had to worry about melting or destabilising anymore!

Danny and Dayla stood up in front of them and kept on smiling. Dani and Dale both hugged them individually as they said, "We knew you guys wouldn't let us down"

"A little help here?" Valerie asked as she was being chased around by Plasmius on her tail.

Dani and Dale both turned and smirked at Plasmius as they said, "With pleasure"

They both then charged straight at Plasmius. Dani then delivered a powerful punch in his stomach and sent him through the roof. He came back and started looking around through the smoke for them, when the smoke cleared he felt someone grab him by his cape. He gasped as he looked to see it was Dale, who then spun him around and then let go, he yelped in pain as he broke right through the pillars and hit the wall. He then fell down and crashed into a computer console and crashed to the ground hard.

His eyes then widened in fear as he saw both Dani and Dale charge right at him. Dale then shouted sarcastically, "We never got to thank you for the homecoming!"

Dani then threw ectoplasmic discs straight at Plasmius, Dale then sent some from his feet at him. Plasmius dodged each one and then laughed, "HA! You missed me!"

But then they both delivered two powerful punches to his face and knocked him straight into the wall, he fell to ground and fell unconscious. Dani and Dale landed in front of him and stared at him in anger.

"Guess that'll teach him to pick on a couple of defenceless kids" Dani said.

"There's no such thing" Valerie said with an impressed smile as she, Danny and Dayla stood behind them.

"Get Danielle and Dale out of here Valerie" Danny said. "We'll be right behind you"

Valerie nodded and then jumped on her hover board and started heading out with Dani and Dale following her. Danny and Dayla frowned and crossed their arms at Vlad as Dayla said, "Man you really know how to work the system don't you?"

The duplicate Plasmius disappeared leaving only Vlad Masters in the room. He grinned at them and said, "It's my specialty"

"Now Valerie blames Vlad Plasmius for trying to destroy Dani and Dale leaving Vlad Masters in the clear" Danny said. "If only she knew you were one and the same"

"Well you two could always tell her, but I'm afraid I would have to counter such slanderous accusations by revealing your little secrets" Vlad said his grin not dropping.

"Don't come near them again!" Danny and Dayla warned him and then took off and phased out of the mansion.

They both turned tangible and said with a smile, "Guys that was awesome!"

However they saw that Dani and Dale weren't there with Valerie as she floated in the air on her hover board. Danny then asked, "Valerie where's Dani and Dale?"

They both then appeared in front of them and shouted making them jump in fright, "BOO!"

Valerie, Dale and Dani laughed at their prank while Dayla and Danny both smirked and said sarcastically, "Ha, ha! Very funny"

"Thank you all. Vlad would've baked us into piles of nothing if you hadn't saved us" Dale said.

"That's what family is for cuz" Dayla said as she and Danny both smiled at both of them. "So what now guys? Heading off?"

"Yep. Now these Phantoms are fixed, they got places to go" Dayla said.

"Well just be safe okay" Danny said.

"Oh Danny nothing can hurt us now" Dani said. She then gave kissed Danny on the cheek and hugged Dayla. Dale hugged Danny and then Dayla.

"See ya and thanks Valerie" Dani and Dale both said and then they took off.

They waited until Dani and Dale were gone and then Danny and Dayla turned to Valerie and held out their hands. Valerie looked at them in confusion and asked, "What's that for?"

"Deals a deal" Danny said. Dayla nodded and added, "You helped us save Dani and Dale, and you can now have us back as your captives"

Valerie giggled and then said, "Forget it"

"What?" Danny and Dayla both asked confused. Valerie frowned a little and said, "Fly away ghost kids before I change my mind"

"Alright. We're going" Dayla said as they both began to fly away.

But then Valerie blasted both of them in the bum. They both cried, "OW!"

They both turned and looked at Valerie who was smirking at them as she said, "But don't think this is gonna last. Tomorrow it's game on"

"And we'll be ready to play" Danny and Dayla both said smirking back and then started heading home.

Valerie then sighed and said, "I told them Vlad was a good guy"

She then gasped and remembered, "Mr Masters! I forgot about him!"

She flew back inside the mansion and flew down to the lab and jumped off her hover board and called out, "Mayor Masters? Are you okay? Mayor Masters?"

She couldn't find him but then she heard Vlad's voice, "Disappeared? Ha! We were so close. If only we managed to melt those little brats down"

Valerie walked over and hid behind one of the broken pillars and asked in her head, "Is that Plasmius?"

She then watched Vlad Masters walk up to a hologram that looked like Maddie and say, "And who knew Valerie would be so easy to fool?! Trapping me in the closet. Ha! Ingenious!"

She then became completely shocked as she watched Vlad Masters transform into Vlad Plasmius right before her very eyes! He then finished, "For a smart girl she's very easily led"

She ran out of there and jumped back on her hover board and flew out of the mansion completely shocked and angry at the same time as she exclaimed, "Vlad Masters is Vlad Plasmius! Danny and Dayla Phantom was right all along and all this time I've been doing all his dirty work! Well not anymore!"

She then put on a look of determination and said, "You better watch out Vlad because one of the ghosts I'm hunting now is you!"

Meanwhile back at Fenton Works, Jack banged on the glass still trapped inside hoping that someone would hear him as he called out, "Hello?! A little help here?! I have to go to the bathroom!"
