AN: Okay, I felt bad about not updating in so long I managed to whip together another chapter. Feel free to tell anyone and everyone about this story! I really look forward to reviews! Anyway, here's the next chapter!
Disclaimer: It remains that I do not own Danny Phantom but I do own Free Spirit and Conformity!
Free Spirit's eyes fluttered open. She had been knocked out by Vlad's ectoblast. She looked around to find herself tied down in what appeared to be a lab. She tried to phase out and escape, but whatever was holding her down was also completely suppressing her powers.
"So you've finally woken up..." said Vlad as he walked out from the shadows. He was still in his ghost form.
"What are you doing?" asked Free Spirit, "You offer to help me and then you kidnap me! How is this supposed to help me accept your offer?"
Vlad laughed. "My intent was never to help you! I plan to destroy you!"
"Destroy me?" said Free Spirit confused, "But I haven't done anything to you! I have wronged you in no way! Why do you want to destroy me?"
"I assure you, it's nothing you've done. It's what your new friend Daniel has done to me."
"I don't understand..."
"You mean you don't know?"
"Know what? That you and Danny are enemies? I figured that much out. I just don't see why you're targeting me instead of him. You couldn't have been planning to use me as bait the whole time because he didn't know me when you first made me that offer."
"You really don't know! My girl, you are free spirit itself! If you are destroyed then free spirit in the world is too! That's why I am going to destroy you, to break Daniel's spirit! And with his spirit broken I will easily be able to defeat him!"
"Isn't that sort of cheating?"
"Cheating? This is strategy, my girl."
"No, I'm pretty sure it counts as cheating. And even if it doesn't, it's still cowardly..."
"Cowardly?"
"Yeah... It's like killing him in his sleep. I'd think this through before you do it. I mean, even if you do destroy Danny, you'll look like a wimp doing it..."
"But once Daniel is out of the way I can rise to a great power and that small detail will be easily overlooked."
"Rise to power?" Free spirit laughed, "I hate to break it to you but no one will want to listen to a wimp!"
Just then, Danny came crashing through the ceiling. "Let her go, Vlad!" he demanded.
Free Spirit smiled. "You know, for some sort of evil genius you really aren't that smart... I mean, you actually fell for the old 'keep the villain busy talking until the good guy comes to save you' trick!"
Vlad pretended to ignore Free Spirit's last comment. "Daniel, you're just in time to see me destroy your new friend." he said. He turned to Free Spirit and his hands started glowing. He was about to blast her when a ghost woman crashed through the ceiling.
"Don't you dare!" shrieked Conformity. She hit Vlad with an ectoblast and sent him sprawling across the room.
"Well, that was unexpected..." said Danny. He ran to a large switch on the wall and pulled it down, releasing Free Spirit.
"I will be the one to destroy Free Spirit, no one else!" Conformity shrieked at Vlad.
"Oh, by all means be my guest!" said Vlad as he gestured towards Free Spirit, "My real interest is in Daniel."
Conformity smiled and lunged at Free Spirit, who was standing by the thing that had her trapped moment's before. Free Spirit dove out of the way and Conformity crashed into the device. Free spirit ran over to where Danny was and flipped the switch back on, trapping Conformity.
"Well at least that part was easy..." said Free Spirit with a sigh of relief.
"Yeah, but we still have Vlad to deal with." said Danny.
"Do you think you can distract him for a while?" Free Spirit whispered to Danny, "I have an idea."
"Well I can try." Danny whispered back. He looked at Vlad. "Didn't quite go as planned did it, Vlad?"
"It's not over yet, Daniel." said Vlad calmly.
"It will be soon!" said Daniel as he flew at Vlad.
As the two of them fought in the air, Free Spirit went over to a pile of small machines and started tinkering with them. Once she saw how they worked it was easy. She modified some and combined them. Once she was done she stood up with her new creation.
"Give up, Vlad! You aren't going to win!" said Danny.
"Oh? And what makes you say that?" asked Vlad.
"Turn around and you'll see."
Vlad turned around and saw Free Spirit pointing a very large bazooka-like gun at him.
"Bye bye, Vladdy!" Free Spirit said in a cutesy voice. She pulled the trigger and nothing happened. "Uh oh..."
Vlad laughed. "Did you honestly expect that to work?"
Free Spirit started pounding the gun with her fist. "No! Come on! YOU - HAVE - TO - WORK!" Suddenly the gun powered up and sent a huge blast at Vlad, knocking him out.
"Lets get out of here, I'm not sure how long he'll be out for and I don't want to be around when he comes to!" Free Spirit called up to Danny.
Danny nodded and they flew back to Danny's house. About five hours later Vlad came to.
"What was that?" he said rubbing his head.
"Hey!"
He looked and saw Conformity still trapped by the machine originally designed to hold Free Spirit. "Well don't just sit there like an idiot, let me go!" she screamed at him.
Vlad pulled the switch down and freed Conformity. She dusted herself off and looked at him.
"You underestimated Free Spirit." she said, "She may seem like a silly teenage girl but she's beaten me more times than I can count."
"Believe me, I know the feeling." said Vlad.
"Let me take care of Free Spirit," said Conformity, "then you can have Danny." And with that, Conformity headed back to Amity Park.
