Sorry for the very, very long wait, but I believe this story needs some revision. I'm not too satisfied with it. Originally, I was going to take it off, but decided not to let you guys down. Well, please enjoy the story. Things are hopefully going to calm down after this.

"You have no hope of defeating me, Vlad." said Slade. "I know skills you could never hope to learn."

"Once again, you underestimate me, Wilson." replied Vlad. "You made a terrible mistake when you attacked the Fentons. I will personally see to it that you are destroyed."

"But I've learned a few new tricks since last time." said Slade, using demon magic. Vlad, who had not been expecting it, was hit hard, and sent to the ground. Slade levitated several pieces of cement, but Vlad dodged and destroyed them. He fired ectoplasmic orbs, forcing Slade back. With determination, Vlad took the offensive, determined to at last beat his enemy.

Vlad multiplied into 4 and the clones then took the primary offensive. he was heading towards Valerie but Slade chanted: "Retenez mon ennemi !", tying Vlad up in demon energy. (The spells will be in French, if you want to translate them) Vlad fired eye beams to get free, and then launched a powerful ghost stinger.

Slade chanted: "Les puissances d'Azerath, me protègent de la mort !" but it didn't protect him completely as pink smoke was rising from his body.

"Still think you can beat me?" asked Vlad.

Slade decided to screw the chants and simply use mental power. They would not be as powerful, but neither would they be predictable. However, Vlad had the upper hand once again as he sent Slade's attack right back at him with a Rebounder. He then followed with lightning blasts and ghost stingers, but Slade was not seriously harmed.

Still, the fight was far from over, as Slade created lightning, striking Vlad again and again. He was eventually able to protect himself, but Slade was back on the offensive. Vlad conjured an ectoplasmic steel wall and then teleported about 70 feet, striking from behind.

"You think you're the only one with that ability?" said Slade and disappeared before Vlad's eyes. (As the powers are demonic and paranormal, they can't sense each other) "Annihlate l'ennemi !" The magic tried to rip Vlad's body apart, but he wasn't about to have that happen. He put up a red shield, stopping the energy in its path.

Vlad charged and the battle continued.

The battle below was no different. Valerie along with her fiery minions were holding the Titans off, while Danny and Terra were fighting the robot Scorpions a few hundred yards away.

"Come on, we've got to get to them!" said Danny.

"That doesn't look very likely." said Terra. "You may want to look around you!"

Danny was then blasted from behind by Valerie. She glared with hatred and prepared to destroy him. Danny flew over her next shot and took the offensive, punching her in the gut. She tried again, but Cyborg blasted her with his cannon.

But it wasn't over yet. Valerie fired hundreds of fireballs everywhere, destroying everything in their path. 4 robots were destroyed by the impact and the Titans narrowly dodged.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!' said Raven, wrapping Valerie up in black magic, while Starfire took the chance and hit her with starbolts. Unfortunately, they gave her the strength needed to break away and she fired another barrage, one Raven barely managed to block.

Robin took out his bo staff, intending to charge her, but she flew out of the way and tried to attack, only to be hit with exploding disks. Still, it didn't have much effect.

Tucker and Sam were in serious trouble. They were not capable of fighting Overload, a true super-villain.

"I think we should just turn back." said Tucker.

"I can't abandon Danny." said Sam. "We'll go on, no matter what we have to face."

Fortunately for them, help was on the way. A ghost tackled Overload, growling angrily. He looked like a wolf, with sharp claws and green eyes. Overload tried to blast him but he went intangible and he nearly tore his arm off.

"Hey, it's Wulf!" said Tucker. "Of all the luck! Let's just hope he doesn't go after us too."

"Come on, Tucker, I'm sure he remembers us." said Sam.

"Wulf remember you." he said. "You have scent of friend."

Together, they managed to hold their own against Overlord. He made a mistake and Wulf took full advantage. He ripped one of its arms off and Sam took the offensive. Unfortunately, the weapons were damaged and she would be of no further help.

Which was why Tucker went in to attack. He damaged Overlord's systems and Wulf went in for the kill, destroying what was left. The battle was won, but Sam and Tucker's designs were destroyed.

"Any chance of you fixing this?" asked Sam.

"I don't have the tools for it." replied Tucker. "Even if I did, it would take me days to do it."

"So we're stuck." Sam groaned. "Just great. Wulf, do you think you can find Danny."

Wulf grinned and went off. Sam and Tucker hoped nothing else would come, because they couldn't handle anything more. However, fate seemed to be on their side for once. Tucker decided to rest, calming himself down.

Man, I hope I don't have to go through that again. Thought Tucker. Let's hope Danny's having better luck than we are.

In downtown Jump City, the battle was finally turning in the heroes' favor. Valerie was running out of power and most of the robots were destroyed by Danny and Terra. However, Valerie still had some juice left. She fired a massive fire blast at Danny. He just barely dodged in time.

Fortunately, Robin covered his back. He fired the last of his exploding at Valerie, who was stunned but still standing. Starfire punched her in the gut and she decided that enough was enough. The titans tried to stop her retreat, but she was too fast for them and they were exhausted.

"I'm glad you were here, Daniel." said Robin. "I don't know what we would have done without you."

"Let's not think about that." said Cyborg. "It doesn't look over just yet."

Vlad and Slade were still fighting each other like tigers. No matter what they hit each other with, they barely slowed down. However, both were tiring and their forms were beginning to slip. Finally, Slade retreated, taking Valerie with him. The Titans breathed a sigh of relief but before they could question Vlad, he teleported away.

"I wonder why he helped us." said Cyborg.

"There's something in it for him." said Danny. "I just hope I don't have to fight beside him again. Helping my nemesis is not something I like to do."

"Yes, you told us about him." said Raven. "Why does Slade's apprentice hate you so much?"

"I've been wondering that myself." said Danny. "I'll tell you once we get back to the tower."

At the tower, the Titans finally got a chance to rest. Beast Boy was anxious to hear the story and wouldn't shut up about it until Raven punched him on the head.

"It's about time." said Cyborg.

"Friends, I believe the Phantom was about to tell us a story." said Starfire.

"Well, it started as a typical day." said Danny. "Of course, they always do so maybe I shouldn't mention that. Anyway…"

Danny, Sam, and Tucker were walking home from school. Danny was covered by several bruises that Dash gave him for standing up for himself. Unfortunately, people now seemed to think he was a villain once more, after his fight with Ember.

"Hey, Danny, have any idea what's wrong with Valerie?" asked Tucker.

"No, I just know she had some problems with her dad." said Danny. "I probably shouldn't even have to tell you that."

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but Valerie is a decent girl." said Sam. "She's actually turned over a new leaf."

"In more ways than one." replied Tucker.

"Enough with the perverted comments." Sam snarled.

"That's enough from both of you." said Danny. "Keep this up, I'll be the one needing therapy."

Danny's ghost sense went off and after making sure nobody saw, he hid in an alley and transformed into Danny Phantom. He saw Bertrand and Spectra laughing about some crime they had done. He immediately responded, firing several ecto-blasts at the duo.

"Well, if it isn't the ghost loser!" exclaimed Spectra. "I've been looking forward to this for a long time!"

"Whatever you have planned, it's not going to work." exclaimed Danny, putting up a shield.

They fought in the air and Danny eventually gained the upper hand. However, they suddenly left and the second they were gone, he was hit in the chest. Valerie was there, looking furious. She hadn't even bothered to change into her ghost suit.

She fired wildly, in a blind rage. Danny barely managed to avoid the shots and they hit cars, streetlights, trees, and building. Valerie didn't care what she was hitting; it was like all reason had left her.

"You're going to pay for what you've done, Ghost!" said Valerie. "You're going to die!"

"What's going on?" he asked, dodging another shot.

"You know what you did, you bastard!" she screamed. "Don't even try to deny it."

Danny fired an ecto-blast, hoping not to hurt her, but it just made her even angrier. Valerie fired huge blasts, some of them nearly killing people. Danny put up a shield to distract her, but it barely even slowed her down. Eventually, he had to trap Valerie in a dome while he made his escape.

"It turned out Bertrand impersonated me and killed Valerie's father." explained Danny. "I thought that I could finally be seen as a hero, but that incident changed all that. After that, there was concern that a ghost was hiding under the human population. If they found him, he would be put to death slowly and painfully."

"How could they possibly be allowed to do that?" asked Beast Boy.

"The Town was probably in pure panic, not even trying to think." said Robin. "And if I'm right, this wasn't the only murder you were blamed for."

"Right." said Danny. "He framed me for over 2 dozen murders. If I ever find him again, I'm going to destroy him!"

"No, you will prove that you are just as bad as him!" exclaimed Starfire.

"I don't blame you for being angry, but you must control it." said Raven. "We've seen firsthand how terrible the results are."

"Part of me doesn't even care anymore." said Danny. "I'm tempted to take Vlad up on his offer and join him."

"Hey, guys, what did we miss?" asked a voice. They turned around and saw Tucker, Sam, and Wulf.

"Don't even think about it." said Danny, since he saw they were getting ready for battle. "They're my best friends and probably looking for me?"

"How do you know they're not ghosts?" asked Terra.

"Because my ghost sense would go off." Danny replied simply. "It's about time you guys got here."

"Sorry we're late, but we had a little trouble fighting Overload." said Sam.

"You fought Overload?" asked Cyborg. "Do you guys have superpowers?"

"No, we just had robots." said Tucker. "Sam's parents are filthy rich."

"Tucker!" she exclaimed.

"Sounds like Beast Boy and Raven." said Terra.

"Except Sam doesn't have demon magic." replied Cyborg. Raven glared and he shrunk back. Danny laughed too and got a taste of the glare. He, however, was not intimidated.

"So how come you ain't scared of her glare?" asked Beast Boy.

"After you face Vlad Plasmius and Pariah Dark, nothing else scares you." said Danny. "There are beings in this world more powerful than the ones you fight."

"I see what you mean." said Robin. "Care for some Martial arts training?"

"Sure, why not?" asked Danny. "I know a few basics, but not very much."

Meanwhile, at Titans East, Aqualad, Speedy, Bumblebee, and Mas y Menos were having a party to celebrate their victory. While Jump City was under attack, they were hit by a being named Technus. He was apparently a master of technology, but loved saying 'hip' phrases.

"Well, we've got a lot of repair work to do." said Bumblebee. She was 17 years old and had black hair and brown eyes. (I've only seen her and the rest of Titans east once, so this probably isn't perfect) "The guy wrecked the place."

"True, we've got a lot of repair work to do." said Speedy. "We'd better get started."

"I'm afraid I've got other plans for you." said a voice and all the superheroes were ready to fight. However, the speaker was nowhere to be seen.

"¿Cuál era ése?" asked Mas.

"¿Por qué sabría." said Menos.

"Usted es el elegante." replied Mas.

"Maybe we shouldn't have taught them slang." Aqualad muttered.

"Yeah, it looks like we're in trouble." said Bumblebee. She charged up her energy blasts and stood determinedly. "Whoever you are, I'm ready for you!"

"Pride goeth before a fall, Bumblebee." replied the voice. "You would do well to remember that."

"Where the hell are you, coward?" yelled Aqualad. "Show yourself!"

"If you insist." replied the voice. He appeared and he had black boots, a mint-green complexion, glowing red eyes, devil hair, and dressed in white with a black triangle on his chest. He also had a white cape with a blood-red interior. "I'm pleased to make your acquaintance. My name is Vlad Plasmius."

"Wish we could say likewise." said Speedy angrily, loading up his bow. "Now what do you want?"

"Teenagers always do have a temper." said Plasmius. "Very well, I hope you enjoy being fish bait."

"¿Qué él nos llamó?" asked Mas.

"Cebo De los Pescados." replied Menos.

"¡Él va abajo!" said Mas.

"Bold choice of words, but you don't have a hope." replied the unwelcome occupant. Speedy fired arrow after arrow while Aqualad launched water. Vlad simply dodged most of the arrows and the ones he couldn't simply blocked with a pink shield.

"Truly pathetic." said Vlad. "Even the Incredibles can do better than this."

Bumblebee launched energy blasts out of her blasters. Vlad became see-through and they went right through him. Tired of talk, he returned with energy blasts, badly burning Bumblebee.

Speedy fired exploding arrows but their opponent simply dodged

them and laughed. One thing was clear: They were in extreme trouble.

I'm glad a few people had patience. Please don't kill me! I had an extreme case of writer's block. Anyway, I think there will be 4 or 5 more chapters.
