Mina: Well, here's the next chapter. I was able to write it in spite of school. I do not own Danny Phantom!
When Danny, Sam, Tucker, and Cana walked into the Fenton house they immediately noticed Vlad Masters sitting on the sofa and reading a newspaper in the living room. Needless to say all of them were shocked to see him there. As they approached him Vlad put his paper down and looked at them.
"Why hello Daniel! And Cana!" Vlad said to them both, excluding Sam and Tucker.
"What are you doing here?" Danny asked angrily.
"Well, I was in town and I stopped by to say hi to my old college friends. I was going to stay in a hotel for a few nights but your parents told me I could stay here. So here I am," Vlad explained a little too innocently.
Danny just glared at Vlad and then the group walked out of the living room, up the stairs, and into Danny's bedroom. They spent their time doing homework and a little time talking about Vlad. Then Sam and Tucker went home and Danny and Cana went down to eat some dinner. Vlad was sitting at the table when they got down there. They spent an uneasy meal together and then went to bed.
Cana was walking down the hall to the bathroom at midnight when Vlad grabbed her and pulled her inside his room. He had put one hand over her mouth so that her startled scream couldn't be heard. When he was sure she wasn't screaming anymore he lifted his hand off of her mouth.
"What do you want?" Cana snapped at him. She was wearing her PJs and her hair was all messed up. She was not happy to have been detoured from her destination and had a feeling that now it would take her longer to get back in bed.
"I wanted to train you my dear," Vlad replied. He was stilling wearing his suit and apparently had been waiting up for Cana.
"Train me? Couldn't you have done that in the afternoon?" she asked.
"I needed to make sure that no one else noticed. Therefore it had to be night time."
Cana grumbled a little bit but reluctantly let Vlad teach her how to control her powers better. He also taught her how to copy herself, which she was somehow able to master, and he taught her how to create mirror like shield and everything else that he knew. He then sent Cana back to bed around five in the morning. When she woke up an hour later to get ready for school she was not at all happy. She pulled on her green tank top, blue jeans, and white and green shoes. She combed her hair and then went downstairs to have breakfast. Vlad wasn't at the table which didn't surprise her. He would probably sleep in for a while, while she had to go to school.
"Did you sleep alright last night Cana? You look really tired," Danny asked her.
"No. I didn't get much sleep. Having Vlad here creeps me out," Cana said, telling only part of the truth. Everything she said was true but she left out the rest of the truth.
"It creeps me out to. But at least I got some sleep," Danny said happily.
Danny and Cana walked to school together and once there met up with Sam and Tucker. They then went through a pretty boring day of school. Danny got shoved in a locker by Dash, Cana was too tired to yell at him for doing that, Mr. Lancer assigned a lot of homework, and Sam and Tucker got in a vegetable-meat argument at lunch. By the time school was over Cana was falling asleep on her feet. There had been no ghost incidents that day.
Suddenly, Danny's ghost sense went off. He dove behind a trash can and changed from Danny Fenton into Danny Phantom. He then flew up into the air and looked around for the ghost that had set off his ghost sense. Unfortunately, it wasn't just one ghost that had set off the ghost sense, it was two, and they were none other than Misery and Despair.
"Not you guys again!" Danny said clearly very unhappy.
"You just can't seem to get ride of us can you?" Misery replied while shooting a red blast from her hand at Danny.
Danny dodged the blast that Misery had fired at him and he fired a green blast at her. She dodged this while Despair fired some red blasts at Danny. Danny went intangible and dodged every blast. He then flew at Despair and was able to hit him hard with both fists. While Despair hit a building, Misery created some fireballs in her hands and tossed them at Danny. Danny then dodged these but was hit with a blast from behind him that Despair had fired. The force of the blast caused Danny to fall and hit the ground. While he was getting up and recovering from the hit Misery and Despair pulled their disappearing act and vanished in a flash of red.
"Darn it! I let them get away again!" Danny yelled in frustration while he turned back to his human form.
"Cheer up Danny, I'm sure you'll get them next time," Sam said, trying to be encouraging.
"Maybe…" Danny replied, letting that sentence trail away.
The four of them walked back to the Fenton place. Once there Danny, Sam, and Tucker worked on homework together while Cana went into her room to rest for a little bit. She had just meant to put her head down for a minute or two but the next time she opened her eyes it was dark out and her clock was showing that the time was eleven o'clock at night. She quickly did her homework. Right when she finished a blue wisp came out of her mouth. This was her ghost sense which she had done a really good job of hiding from Danny, Sam, and Tucker.
Cana turned intangible and went through the floor of her room and into the Fenton kitchen where she turned invisible. In the room was Plasmius and two other very familiar ghosts, Misery and Despair.
"…We've attacked him a bunch of times, each time ending with him on the ground after we used a powerful attack," Despair was saying. Cana hadn't caught the beginning of what he was saying but she assumed that he was talking about Danny.
"One time there was another person there. A girl on a glider with a red suit on," Misery told Vlad.
"That's interesting. She is…someone else I have an alliance with," Vlad said, leaving out the part that Valerie didn't realize this.
"She works for you too?" Despair asked. "Then why was she attacking us?"
"She probably didn't realize that you two were working with me as well. It is her goal to hunt all ghosts. I'll try to clear that up with her," Vlad responded.
"I…" Despair began but was cut off my Misery.
"Shhh! Did you hear that?" Misery asked. She had just heard Cana breathing.
"Wha…" Vlad was starting to say but Cana didn't hear the rest. She went intangible and phased through the ceiling and into her room. Once up there she went into her bed and while trying to fall asleep pondered what she had just heard. It seemed that Misery and Despair were working for Vlad and that they were part of some plan that Vlad had. But what could he be planning? Cana thought right before she fell asleep.
The next day was relatively peaceful. It was a Friday and when school was let out Danny, Sam, Tucker, and Cana headed back to the Fenton house. There they were planning to hang out for a while. The presence of Vlad was still very unsettling but they tried to enjoy themselves anyway.
Towards the end of a movie that they had been watching Cana wandered upstairs. In the hallway stood Vlad. She tried to walk past him but he went ghost and grabbed her.
"I have a new plan and you'll have to go along with it," he whispered in her ear.
Plasmius then turned them both intangible and went through the floor and into the living room where Danny, Sam, and Tucker were finishing watching the movie. Once there he turned visible.
"Catch me if you can Daniel!" he said tauntingly and then flew away.
Plasmius flew over a bunch of Amity Park and then reached the park. He knew that Danny wasn't going to be far behind him so he explained his plan really quickly to Cana.
"I am going to use you as bait as you probably already figured out. Once Daniel comes too close I am going to blast him with a spray that contains a virus that Misery, Despair, and I came up with. This virus won't affect you or me, it will only effect Daniel. And look! Here he comes," Plasmius said to Cana.
Danny, in his ghost form, was flying right at them. In the distance Sam and Tucker could be seen running after him. When Danny got closer they could clearly see that he was really angry.
"Danny! Don't come any closer! It's a trap!" Cana yelled.
"What are you doing?" Plasmius hissed in her ear.
"He's a C student, do you think he's really going to listen to me? He probably thinks that you told me to say that," she whispered back.
However, Danny flew down to the ground where Sam and Tucker met him. Cana looked down at him looking like she was pleading for him to turn human again. Under the cover of his friends he did this on pure instinct.
The minute Danny was human Cana shouted really loud, "Help! A ghost!"
However, although many people heard her no one had time to react. Plasmius let go of her and she began falling. Danny quickly went ghost again, once more under the cover of his friends and zoomed up to catch her. At this moment though Plasmius pulled the trigger on a gun like object and a yellow mist came out and engulfed Danny and Cana, who was now in Danny's arms. When the mist cleared Plasmius was gone. Danny landed and put Cana down. He then changed back to normal.
"Danny! You shouldn't have done that!" Cana yelled.
"You think I was just going to let you get killed?" Danny asked.
"No, but that yellow mist that you saw contained a virus that Plasmius designed to affect only you. Now you're going to get really sick and who knows what Plasmius will do while you can't fight back! The virus may even kill you!" Cana said, close to tears.
"Oh god," Danny said as he comprehended how bad things could get.
And in the next few days things would get really bad.
Mina: Okay. I hope that was good. I didn't have time to edit it as much as I usually do (meaning reading it overabout five times).I know that probably went kind of fast but now things will start to get interesting. I will now thank all of my wonderful reviewers.
Missmeliss4251: Ack! I don't think any of your questions were answered in this chapter either but they will be soon…I think.
Nari-chan SND: Thank you for calling this good. I will try to update when I can.
stripin'chicken: I like the new pen name. I hope you liked this chapter!
Writer's-BlockDP: I'm glad you liked this. I think that word did something to that one phrase because I had put a question mark and an exclamation mark on it. Alley was just a type-o. I hope your questions will be answered soon! I don't know how soon though.
Sakura Phantom: Glad you liked it!
Mina: Please review!
