Danny pushed Ariel away. "We still need to find Skye and Jason," he murmured, already missing the feeling of her soft lips against his.
"You're right," Ariel smiled, but neither of them could really find their voice. They walked through different rooms, holding hands and smiling at each other. They opened door after door, only to find another room in the mansion. Ariel pushed open a heavy door and found her brother and sister on two separate beds, sleeping. Danny saw them too and they entered the room. Ariel shook both of them, without letting go of Danny. They didn't wake. Ariel shook them harder, but still they refused to wake.
Danny was thinking and put his finger to his lips. He, regretfully, let go of Ariel's hand. He walked across the hallway and opened the door. Another pair of Skye and Jason was sleeping on some more beds. Danny felt a pull in his pocket and it he reached in to grab the necklace. It pulled away from him. Ariel noticed him reaching into his pocket.
"My necklace," Ariel said quietly and touched the place where her necklace should have been. "You stole my necklace?"
Danny pulled the necklace out of his pocket and put it in front of his face. "I'm sorry, I was trying to give it back, but I never got the chance."
"You stole my necklace!" Ariel still couldn't get over the fact that he would steal something, her necklace, most of all.
"I really am sorry," Danny walked over and put it in her hands. His finger caressed over her hand as he closed her hand around the necklace. "It was yours and I took it without asking and I'm sorry."
Ariel suddenly hugged him and wrapped her hands tightly around him. He didn't understand why, but Danny hugged back. Ariel smiled and released him. She held out her necklace in front of her and it slowly lifted downstairs. Ariel started following it and Danny followed Ariel.
"So how does that thing work?" Danny asked.
"I'm not sure, but it can track any of our family members by our DNA code and will open to a computer that can show family members on it." Ariel looked at Danny. Was he in her family? She wondered. "My father made this for my mom, but then she gave it to me when she was taken. I haven't figured out all of it, but I'm still finding more things on it."
"A computer that small," Danny thought about the smallest computer he had ever seen, it was still bigger than a locket. The locket suddenly turned and Ariel followed it. Danny didn't notice right away and had to run back to catch up. He found Ariel trying at a locked door. Danny tried it too, but it wouldn't open. Ariel tried to phase through it, but it repelled her. Danny grabbed the locket, he slid it into the lock and he heard the small snap, signaling it worked.
He tried to open the door again and saw Skye and Jason, their arms tied behind their backs and gags in their mouths. They were shaking their heads no, but Ariel had already run into the room and tried to untie them. Danny ran over and helped too. The door slammed shut behind them. Danny, after untying Jason's gag ran over to the door.
"It's a trap!" Jason cried out.
"Cover your ears!" Skye screamed when she got her gag out of her mouth. The hypersonic emission starting buzzing, but they weren't even changing. Ariel and Danny grabbed their ears in pain as Skye and Jason did the same. Ariel fell to the floor and fainted from the pain. The emission grew stronger and Danny collapsed to the ground screaming. Skye and Jason were still trying to hold on to their ears as Skye screamed over the emission. The walls around them cracked and Jason nudged Skye to do it again. Skye screamed several more times and the walls soon fell.
The emission slowly died away as Vlad walked into the door clapping his hands together. "Very good, Skye, for being the youngest I believe you may be stronger than your sister right now. And Jason, such a keen insight on the smallest of cracks, I'm impressed."
Jason backed away and stood in front of his younger sister. He was ready to make a shield whenever the man came closer. Ariel and Danny were still unconscious as the man walked over to the two scared children. Skye moved in front of Jason and screamed, causing the walls to crack and the windows to shatter. Vlad was thrown back and he hit the wall roughly. Jason threw up a shield as Vlad slowly climbed to his feet and changed to a ghost.
"You're Danny's archenemy!" Skye exclaimed.
"You tried and failed several times to control the world or get Danny to go evil!" Jason added. Jason still wondered how Skye knew about his hero. Last time Jason checked, she was more interested in playing with dolls than reading comics.
"Yes, my two little brats, I am. But you see, this time I haven't failed. I have succeeded in my plan to get those two under my control." Vlad waved his arm at the unconscious Ariel and Danny before continuing. "Now that they're under my control, all I have to do is get you two to obey me to be the supreme ruler of both worlds."
"Another take over the world scheme," Jason thought about the second movie of Danny Phantom and remembered the Ecto-Skeleton. "Danny had it on… we fell asleep… so it must be here!" Jason looked around the room quickly and found the Ecto-Skeleton in the corner. There was something wrong, it should be chained up or something, but it wasn't. Instead it started moving closer to the two young siblings as they grabbed onto each other. They didn't want to be captured anymore and used in some fiendish plot to get at their sister or hero.
Skye held her mouth shut so she didn't harm her brother in case she screamed. She watched in horror as the suit ran up to the old man and it changed with him inside it. Skye and Jason saw the suit change back when they had saved Danny, but they never saw it change with Vlad inside it. Plasmius laughed at the attempt Skye made to scream. Something had dimmed the volume in the room.
"Sound absorbers?" Jason thought as he looked around the room and saw nothing different from the last time his sister's screaming power worked. He noticed along the wall, thin cracks the made boxes. He tried to talk, but his voice was a mere whisper when he yelled.
He looked at his sister and she nodded when he put up a shield. She stepped in front of him and started to scream inside of the shield, it was working. Skye kept screaming and wouldn't stop until Jason opened a small hole up for the noise to go. It blasted Vlad back and the suit took damage. Jason yelled out and jumped in the air, but it wasn't heard.
Skye grabbed Jason's arm as she watched Vlad stand up again and start laughing. What were they going to do now?
