Dark: Hey guys. I hope you like Vlad's creepyness, because there's more of it in this chapter. Also, if anyone has seen my Danny muse, I would like him back.

Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom or Teen Titans. If I did, neither would be off.


Chapter 25: Blackmail Sucks

"She said she wants to go?" Jack asked.

"Yeah. She was really excited." Robin replied.

"Well, where is she?"

"Walking around. She packed everything. She wants us to pick her up by the school." Robin said.

"That's do-able. Jump City is in that direction, so we can still make it there in a few hours." Cyborg said.

"Are you sure she can come?"

"We said it once, we'll say it again. She'll be happier with you all." Maddie said.

"We're thankful that you would be willing to give her up." Raven said.

"Don't think anything about it. Any good parent would have done the same thing." Danielle and Bridgett came running with bags in their hands.

"What are you two doing?" Robin asked.

"Wherever Daniela goes, I follow." Danielle said.

"Same for me." Bridgett said.

"Are you going to allow this?" Robin asked

"We're good parents, but not the best, so yes." Maddie said.

"Yes!" Danielle and Bridgett said as the high fived.


Daniella was walking around town without shoes. It was a weird hobby that she had when summer started. She had finished packing and was waiting for her brother to pick her up. She had talked to Sam, Tucker, Star, and Valerie about her leaving. They all accepted it, Sam was a little cold to her, but the two hugged and moved on. The little robin was on her head, resting.

"Well isn't this surprising?" Her ghost sense went off. She turned and saw Vlad Plasmius in the air.

"What do you want, Perv?" Vlad shook his head, Fruitloop was a better name than that one.

"I heard that you were leaving, going away from Amity Park."

"You heard right. The less I'm in this town an near you, the more sanity I can keep." Daniella said, putting her hands on her hips.

"I completely agree with you, except about the destination. Instead of Jump City, how about Wisconsin?"

"Why would I go there?"

"Because I want you to."

"And I care about your wants because?" She stressed the last word.

"It would save your brother's life, and identity, as well as your 'extra activities'." Daniella's eyes widened, but she didn't believe him.

"You don't know anything."

"I know that Dick Grayson and Robin are the same person. I control the entire Ghost Zone, so getting one to kill him would be a breeze, and a few ghosts caught you, the blue haired girl, and the green haired girl at a very questionable place. Aren't you too young to drink and-"

"SHUT UP PERVERT!" Daniella fired at him, and it woke the robin on her head. It flapped its wings and flew to a nearby building. Vlad dodged the purple blast, but was hit by the fists that came after word.

"Paying people to spy on girls! You should get locked up for that!"

"You can thank Skulker for the information. Now, you will be joining me in Wisconsin, or I will kill your brother, or tell the world about his activities, or tell him about your activities. I can do any of them, and I won't get affected in anyway." Daniella would blast him, but she found that she couldn't do it, literally. Her hand wouldn't move.

"Why can't I blast you?"

"You were trying to hit your new father? Maybe I should punish you for that, but you didn't, so no harm, no foul." Vlad smirked,"But I'll let you in on a little secret. You can't hurt me because I will hurt your brother. I'm endangering your brother, so I am endangering your obsession." Vlad flew up to her,and she still couldn't move.

"My obsession?" Daniella as she moved from his grip, but still couldn't blast him with ectoplasm.

"To protect your brother of course. I can see it in your eyes. You love him to pieces, so if you don't do as I say, you see him in pieces." Daniella's bangs covered her eyes.

"You sick, low, son of a-"

"I think I might need some soap to wash that filthy mouth of yours."

"This coming from a perv."

"My command still stands, you join me in Wisconsin, or your brother won't be making it to Jump City. What is your choice?" Vlad smiled like he won the lottery. He held out his hand.

"I... accept." Daniella said, shaking the offending hand.

"That's a good girl." I hate being called good. Daniella thought.'Me too.'


Robin and his team went by the school and saw Daniella, but she was dressed differently. She was in a pure black dress that stopped after her knees. A white flower was attached to the dress where her heart was. The robin was on her shoulder. Her hair was covering her face. She still didn't have any shoes.

"Daniella? What are you wearing?" Robin asked.

"Her new outfit that her new father picked out for her." Vlad said, coming from the limo that just arrived. The Titans and Danielle and Bridgett stared at the man.

"New father?" Robin asked.

"Yes. As of tomorrow, she will be known as Daniella Masters." The team was taken back, but Dani and Bridgett weren't buying it.

"Fruitloop." Dani shot a blast towards him, but it was intercepted by Daniella. She gasped.

"Daniella? You're protecting this fruitloop?" Bridgett asked. Daniella nodded. The robin flew to Dani's shoulder and perched itself there.

"What have you done to her?" Dani said, firing and another blast. Daniella intercepted.

"Attack them." Vlad commanded. Daniella obeyed. Her hands lit and she fired. Dani was stunned, but Raven stopped the blast.

"What are you doing?" She asked. Daniella said nothing as her hand lit up again. Cyborg powered up her hand. Beastboy transformed into a rhino. Starfire's eyes became green as her hands powered up. Bridgett had ruins floating around her and a magic circle opened in front of her. Robin pulled out his bo-staff. He was about to attack her, but saw that there were drops of water coming from Daniella's face.

"Team, and company, stand down." He commanded. They looked at him like he was crazy, but obeyed his order. "Let's leave." They nodded.

"But Daniella-" Dani was interrupted.

"Chose to stay with her new father. So she's going to stay with him." Daniella heard him and the water drops appeared more often. Raven carried Dani to the car. Robin gave one last look at his sister before he got in the front passenger seat. They drove off, leaving behind Daniella, who was feeling lonely.

"See? They didn't care if you went with them. Your own brother left you when you needed him most. How touching." Those words fell on deaf ears.


"Are we seriously leaving her behind?" Dani asked.

"Of course not." Robin replied.

"But, she's back there." Beastboy said.

"I know, but Vlad did something to her. She was crying when she fought us." Robin said.

"Knowing Vlad, he probably tried to brainwash her-" Dani was interrupted.

"She was in control of her actions and her memory wasn't tampered with." Bridgett said.

"Then that leaves that she is being blackmailed into being his daughter." Raven said.

"What is he blackmailing her with?" Cyborg asked.

"I don't know, but it must be bad if she's doing everything he wants." Dani said as she crossed her arms.

"She isn't being blackmailed. She's being threatened." Robin said.

"How do you know?" Dani asked, narrowing her eyes.

"This happened to me. Slade threatened my team's lives if I didn't do what he wanted." Robin explained.

"So, Vlad is threatening our lives. If Daniella doesn't do what he wants, he would kill us." Bridgett summed up.

"He's to good for that." Dani said,

"He would hire someone to kill us." Bridgett revised.

"That's more like it." Dani said.

"So, how are we going to help her?"

"We're going to have to find a way to convince her that Vlad can't do anything to us." Robin said.

"I can help with that." Bridgett said as her hands became white.

"What are you going to do?"

"I can put a protection spell on you. I did that with the Fentons and Dani."

"Why me?" Dani asked.

"Because." Dani glared at her.

"Do it." Robin said. Bridgett set to work. After five minutes, almost everyone had ruins on them.

"Ready?" She asked Robin. Robin held out his arm. Bridgett put her glowing hands on the arm. After a minute, the arms started to spark and purple lightning shot up and struck Bridgett. She screamed as a wave of pain washed over her.

"What happened?" Robin asked.

"I don't know, but let me try again." Bridgett said. She got the same results.

"I think you should stop before something bad happens to you."

"But if I can't put the spell on Robin, Daniella has to stay with Vlad.

"By the way, does this spell thing have any side effects. I'm not going to grow a second head or something, right?" Beastboy asked.

"No you're not, but it can be broken if you are attacked too much or with too much power." Bridgett said. Robin took his arm back. They all stayed silent throughout the ride home. The robin flapped its wings and flew through the window.


Daniella was staring out of the window of the Dalv jet she was on. She absently petted the robin's head.

'I cannot stand being someone else's play thing.'Dana said from her gem.

"I can't either, but we have to listen to him. If he hurts, or kills Dick..." Daniella placed a hand over her heart.

'I know, but we need to start thinking of ways to get off of his strings.'

"I don't think he'll use strings. He'll use moves instead. It's simple chess. You make a few moves and eventually force your opponent into submission. That's how he sees the world. One giant chess game, and he's the king."

"Correct thinking Daniella. I wouldn't expect anything less from my daughter."

"I'm not your daughter. I'm your prisoner." Daniella shot at him.

"We both know that's not true. I love like a father." Vlad said.

"More like a pervert." Daniella mumbled. Vlad almost glared at her, but instead asked for a chess board. Daniella stared at him questioningly.

"It must be so boring up here if you are talking to yourself. So why not a game of chess?" Daniella didn't want to play chess, but Dana did.

"Fine." The servant brought the chess board, and Vlad and Daniella played, with Daniella doing everything Dana told her to. After twenty minutes, Daniella won.

"How did you beat me in chess?" Vlad asked as he surveyed the board. His king was captured with two rooks, two knights, and two pawns.

"I see my friends and enemies in the pieces. I decided to have them behave accordingly. They would protect me to the end as I would to them, and I can remember how everyone else acts. You move them according to how they would act under your control, so I put a few screws in your kingdom. Victory was assured when I captured your queen." Daniella said, repeating what Dana was saying. She looked out of the window and saw the castle that was Vlad's house.

"As much as I enjoy watching you sulk in your loss, I must go get my things." Daniella stood and left Vlad.

'I may have figured out how we can escape his game and win.'Dana said.

"I'm listening."

'We're going to play chess, but on a bigger scale.'Daniella smiled as Dana told her the plan.


Dark: Danny? Danny? *Looks at readers* Oh hey. I still can't find my Danny muse, and we get to see what Dana knows about chess. Vlad has done some bad stuff, but this takes the cake. Don't you agree? Review about your answer.

R&R! See ya later!
