Meeting an Archenemy

To Danny's surprise, and relief, his parents left a note on their door. Turns out they got a message about an unusual ghost sighting two cities away and wanted the professionals and their opinion on it. This meant that Starfire was about to roam freely around the house.

Smiling, he flew up to the Ops Center. There, he saw Starfire, sound asleep.

He was about to wake her up, but he couldn't help but want her to sleep more.

"I'll just let her remain that way a bit longer…" He whispered. He turned around and began phasing through the floor. "I'll just get her something to eat."

The Fenton RV was now passing the city limits of Amity Park. Jack Fenton was driving his usual wild self as his wife held up the instructions sent to them.

"Are you sure that there's a ghost out there, Jack?" Maddie asked.

"Sure thing, Sweet Cakes. After all, Vladdie was the one who sent us these coordinates!" Jack spoke, oblivious to how he and his wife were fooled.

Danny finished the scrambled eggs and toast he made for Starfire. Learning how to cook is something he had to pick up fast thanks to his constantly going back and forth fighting ghosts, and now it's being put to different use.

Starfire arrived, feeling relief at having more room to fly around. Danny saw her and placed the dish on the table.

"Dig in." Danny said.

Starfire sniffed loudly and smiled.

"Thank you!"

Starfire quickly devoured what was on her plate, although Danny winced in disgust despite his smile.

He went over to the couch to get his backpack. That's when Starfire flew in and hugged him from behind.

"What shall we do today, Danny?" She asked.

"I'd love to stay, but I need to get to school. We can hand out later."

"Alright… but how soon must you go?" She asked.

"I got… 20 minutes."

"Then… perhaps we can do something in the mean time?"

Danny smiled.

As soon as Danny was on his way, Starfire remained on the couch.

She looked up at the ceiling, unsure of what to do.

"Perhaps there is the video game I can play? I do hope they have the tale of the siblings who usually clean pipes battling mutated fungus and terrapin soldiers." She said to herself.

As she got up, something was following her without her knowing. It was the robotic insect.

She flew up to the second floor when she heard the buzzing sound. She looked around and saw the insect.

Is that… an insect?

She looked at the thing as it landed on a nearby wall. She moved in and squinted.

"Is this an insect found on this universe?" She asked.

She was about to poke it when something came in through intangibility and knocked her out.

Danny arrived with only 3 minutes to spare.

His two best friends saw him just make it in time as he went behind a car and morphed.

"Hey guys!" Danny said as he caught up to them. Then he noticed they went from smiling to having completely different expressions. Sam looked angry while Tucker looked saddened. "What's wrong?"

"Danny. What... is... that?" Sam asked in a dangerously low tone while pointing to his neck.

Danny flushed as he pulled his collar up. He figured they could see it.

"Uh...nothing..."Danny lied.

Sam yanked his collar lower and she and Tucker could finally see what he was trying to hide.

"Is that a hickey?" Tucker asked in shock and some jealousy while Danny blushed even more.

"Maybe?" Danny suggested. "Maybe Ember hit me last night and it just looks like one?"

Neither of them are convinced.

"Either she gave you the hickey or your alien stalker did." Sam said, still with her angered expression. "And last I check, you haven't made out with Ember."

"Man… why can I get a hot alien…" Tucker murmured in annoyance.

Danny shrugged innocently.

"It's cool guys. Starfire's cool. We should take her out on patrol tonight."

Hearing that made Sam's eye twitch.

"Oh… is that so?" She asked.

"Yeah. It'll be fun." Danny said, clueless to Sam's anger. The bell rang. "Well, time to get to class."

As Danny walked off, Sam threw a punch into a locker, making a large dent. This made Tucker wince in fear.

It was long since school finished and Danny made his way back home fast. Using his powers, since he knew his parents were out of the house and Jazz was staying late at school for studies, he flew into the Ops Center.

"Starfire!" Danny said as he landed. "We're going on patrol in a few hours. You wanna grab a bite before we go?" He got no answer, he looked around and saw she was gone. "Hmm, maybe she's downstairs?"

He phased into the house, finding his way in the living room.

She's probably scarfing the ice cream. He thought to himself with a smile.

"Kory?" He entered the kitchen, finding it empty. Now he was getting confused. "Okay… where is she?"

He turned human. That's when his phone went off. He looked and saw who it was.

Dad?

He answered.

"Hey Dad."

"Danny, sorry to say your mother and I will be home later. Looks like this lead Vladdie gave us might be a wild goose chase."

Danny's face had the color drained as he a terrible thought came to his mind.

"Vlad gave you the tip?"

"Yup. Sad to say he might be wrong. Well… gotta go!" Jack said with his obliviousness to Vlad's lie. "Looks like I may have rear ended a car."

"Wait…" Danny snapped out of his concerns. "Are you talking and driving at the same time?"

"Yup. Might be why a police car's been following me for the past 10 minutes… well, later!"

Jack hung up.

Danny blinked before a serious look came to his face.

Waking up, Starfire found herself bound to an examination table, flipped so that her feet were above the floor.

She looked around, seeing she was in some kind of laboratory.

"What is this?" She attempted to pull herself out, but found it difficult.

"Now, now…" A male voice called out, with false assurance. "If you continue to struggle, this will make things difficult."

Starfire stopped. She saw a figure appear in front of her, floating. A figure with pointy hair, green skin, a white suite with cape and fanged teeth. Starfire sent him a glare, knowing who this is.

"I know who you are. Danny has told me of you. You are the Vlad Plasmius." She said.

"Ah, you've heard of me. I'm honored."

"Do not be." She said with a dirty look at him. "Seeing you in person has confirmed how much the unpleasant you are."

Vlad ignored her as he went towards a series machines nearby. He started pressing buttons.

"I've heard of your kind. Long ago, there were portals to your universe. There was a brief war between ghosts and aliens, so the only decision was to merge all the portals into one and it leads to a part of your universe as far away from your planet as possible. To think one of you would enter out world through there." Vlad said, not even looking at her. That's when he pulled what looked like a helmet. "I've heard how you and Danny Phantom have gotten close… too close."

"Are you really that much of the surprised?" Starfire asked with a mischievous smile. "Phantom is handsome and dreamy, you are old and hideous."

Vlad scowled in her direction.

"Well…" Then he had a smile on his face, making Starfire a bit concerned. "Let's see if you think that when I'm done."

He hovers towards her, holding the helmet device in his hands.

"What will you do?!" Starfire asked, sounding a bit concerned.

"You'll see." Vlad said with an evil grin.

Danny was flying towards Vlad's mansion at top speed.

He looked angry, very angry.

You've cross a line, Fruitloop! Any hair on Kory's head that's even remotely touched is going to cost you a tooth!

He thought with his teeth gritting.

Then he saw the mansion and sped up.

"Intruder alert, darling." The computer system, modeled after Danny's mother and the woman who rejected him, informed Vlad.

"Perfect." Vlad said.

He has already placed the helmet on Starfire's head. He starts pressing buttons on the machine that is attached to the helmet via a cable.

"What are you doing, villain?!" She demanded to know.

"How you and Daniel become so romantically tangled makes little sense to me. So, I'm going to make that a thing no longer." Vlad has an evil grin. "You're going to lose all your memories from the past year or so."

"What?!" Starfire was shocked.

"It's only temporary, but I figure by the time you remember, it will likely be too late." Vlad said. He chuckled to himself as Starfire tried to break free. "I'm sure it would be dastardly to break up a loving couple… so… here we go!"

He pressed one last button.

This sends a shock to Starfire, causing her to scream in pain.

Vlad laughed until the shocking stopped and Starfire stopped screaming and was apparently knocked out.

That's when he flew towards her and undid her shackles.

"Now…" He said once he got the helmet off too. "Let's see how-"

That's when she woke up.

She looked at him and gasped before pushing him with all her alien strength.

This sent him into the wall, creating a large dent. Angered, Vlad fired a blast at her, sending her into the table and breaking it.

Getting up, Starfire glared. Her eyes glowing and she gritted her teeth.

She shouted something in her alien tongue, likely a threat, before she fired a barrage of starbolts.

Vlad grinned as he phased through the floor to avoid the attack.

However, once he came around and behind, she reacted fast and snarled in rage at him.

Then she threw a punch that was strong enough to break through the wall.

Getting out the wall, Vlad groaned in pain while putting a hand on his head.

Vlad cursed his bad luck. He finally managed to erase that Tamaranean girl's memory and this happens to him.

"Oh butter nuts! I was so close!" Vlad shouted in frustration.

"Plasmius!"

Danny appeared in front of him, not aware of Starfire behind him.

He sulked, before a smirk came to his ugly face.

"Well, I suppose there is a silver lining, even if I can't control her, I at least will get to see her go ballistic on her so called boyfriend..." Vlad said.

Starfire's memory of her relationship with Danny is now gone, and Tameraneans go ballistic when in the presence of ghosts.

Vlad couldn't wait to see what that little alien girl would do to Daniel once she sees him.

"Where's Starfire?!" Danny demanded.

"Over there!" Vlad said, pointing at her.

Danny turned and saw her just staring at him. He smiled.

"You're okay?" She didn't react, she just kept staring. That made him worried. "What's wrong?"

"I used a new device to erase her memory." Vlad said quickly.

This got Danny's attention, not in a good way.

"What?" He asked.

"I erased her memory from a whole year, meaning she doesn't remember you." He says. "Which means whatever resistance she's likely developed is no more since she can't remember you."

Danny looked worried as he went back to looking at his amnesiac girlfriend.

Starfire was so confused and lost since her memory was lost. Last she remembers was being on her homeworld when this happened.

Then she saw someone who took her breath away.

It was a Tamaranean with silvery white hair. A male. A very attractive male.

Then a smile hit her face.

Oh my... Starfire thought as she eyes this male and started feeling her heart beat fast.

He is very handsome, more handsome than the suitors who used to try to court her back on Tamaran, even with that silver hair of his.

If anything, it actually looks good on him.

She flew to him with a massive blush on her face.

Danny started to get a little worried. That's when she wrapped her arms around his neck and held him tightly, much to his discomfort.

"Starfire! Kory!"

This got her attention, making her look confused. That's when she smiled again and gave him a deep kiss that actually caused a blush to his face made him almost melt in her arms.

MUAH!

Once done, she looked to him and kissed.

"You know my name?" She asked.

"Yes! Don't you remember me?" He asked.

Starfire shook her head.

"No but…" She blushed deeply. "I think you are the very cute."

Vlad wad gawking now. He is confused.

No, scratch that. He is flabbergasted!

He expected that Tamaran girl to attack Daniel when she couldn't recognize him, not this.

"What is this?! She was supposed to attack Daniel, not fall in love again!" Vlad shouted in outrage.

Danny noticed Vlad getting angry and glared at him. That's when he used his powers to phase out of her hug, much to her shock.

"You did this! Fix this!" Danny demanded while pointing at his girlfriend.

"It's temporary!" Vlad shouted. "No matter… I'll finish this myself!"

Vlad fired at Danny, sending him into the ceiling.

Danny got loose and was about to fly at his foe. That's when Starfire got between them and threw a punch at Vlad with enough force to make a small crater in the floor.

"Do not harm him, monster with hideous haircut!" She loudly threatened.

"How dare you hit me, alien freak!" Vlad shouted as he got up on his fours.

That was a bad move.

Starfire wasn't immune anymore, since she doesn't recall Danny she has no reason to try and resist the affects ghostly energy has on her. So, her anger turned into dangerous rage as she raised her fists.

Vlad's eyes widened in shock.

"Oh, honey truffles…" Vlad said before it began.

A barrage of punches from her was too much and too fast for Vlad as he couldn't even have a moment to concentrate and turn intangible.

Danny stared by didn't stop. Instead, he had a very interested smile on his face.

My hot girlfriend is beating up my archenemy… nice.

That's when it stopped and Vlad was unconscious.

"I know now who you are but you do not hurt people!" She barked. That's when she turned around and saw Danny. Her anger melted and she adopted a very loving look, complete with a lovestruck smiled. She then flew up to him and blushed. "So… how do you know me, attractive one?"

Danny's smile dropped.

Vlad really did make her lose her memories.

Still, he cares for her and had to help her.

"Oh… well, first off, I'm not a Tamaranean, I just look like one." He said.

"You are very handsome by the standards of my people…" She said.

"Oh… well, also, I'm Danny and I'm your boyfriend, so-"

"What is a… boyfriend?" She asked.

Danny wasn't sure how to answer.

"Well… it's basically a male romantic partner, so-"

A loud gasp and a bone-crushing hug from Starfire cut him off.

"A romantic partner?! I became romantically involved with such an adorable one?!"

She then started nuzzling his cheek.

Danny sighed with irritation.

Here we go again…

With that, Danny phased out of her grip and flew up.

"Listen, Starfire. I need you to-"

She flew back up and hugged him tightly again. She shook him left and right, her eyes closed.

"I have such a handsome little friend who is the boy." She says.

Danny blushed hard. He managed to phase out again.

"I need you to listen to me." Danny said. "We can kiss later."

"Kiss?" Starfire asked. "What is kiss?"

"Lip contact."

"I have already gathered knowledge of the language you speak." Starfire said.

Danny smiled a bit. "My people do it as a sign of affection."

"Like this?" Starfire flew up and quickly kissed him on the lips.

This caused her face to turn red a big smile appeared on it.

This made Danny realize his mistake.

Oh no…

She grabbed the sides of his head and kissed him deeply again.

"I enjoy the kissing!"

Danny phased out of her grip and flew away, phasing through the ceiling. Starfire broke through.

It looks like the chase has begun again.

Time for more chasing.

Thanks FlowerPrincess11, you've made this chapter and how the rest of their week in Amity Park go better.

This isn't the last we'll see of Vlad in this story, but next time it's more romantic comedy.
