Disclaimer: You already know what goes here.

Vlad the Froot Loop.

Danny was flying through the skies with Sam and Tucker on their scooters below. Danny had told them that Jenny was no where to be found around the school, so they all decided they should go out and look for her in the open to make sure nothing happened to her. And that's where they were now.

"Goth.One to Clueless.One: any sign of her from the aerial view?"

"Clueless.One to Goth.One: Nope, and why am I Clueless.One again?" He asked thinking back on the Axion Labs incident with Cujo and Valerie.

Just as Sam was going to reply her sarcastic answer, there was an explosion in the building directly to their right.

"And I, Nicolai Technus, will take control of these so-called laptops and use their wireless connection to take control of this city from the comfort of my own home!"

Just as Technus had finished his usual long-winded introduction, Danny shot a green ecto blast at him that hit him dead on in between the eyes, knocking him into a nearby wall behind him.

"You've really got to work on your introductions, Master of Long Winded Introductions." Danny started and then added to under his breath, "Wow, and so have I." In the mean time, he shot another ecto blast at Technus, who this time dodged, but was hit by the quickly following freeze ray attack.

He froze in midair, and just as he was about to crash to the ground, he was sucked into the Fenton Thermos for the who-knows-how-manieth time.

But once again, it was neither of Danny's trusty friends wielding the thermos.

It was Jenny once again. Only this time she looked up at Danny and went back to the thermos as if she was going to activate it again, but found she couldn't bring herself to it. So she just pocketed the thermos and ran full out through the opened door behind her.

"Wait!" Danny called and followed as close behind her as he could, but once he was outside, she was nowhere in sight.

Danny sighed, along with his friends, and reluctantly landed on the ground near them, changing back into Fenton.

The three friends walked down the street towards their homes. With darkness tugging at the edge of the skies, they unwillingly accepted that they had failed in their mission…

"You stupid girl!!" Vlad was beyond furious. "You did not do as I asked! I told you to capture Danny Phantom, not this technical nuisance!"

"Hey! I have feelings to you know!" Technus shouted, a little hurt, if that was even possible for him.

"Oh, shut up!" Vlad spat as he threw the thermos forcefully across the room causing it to smack pretty hard against the opposite wall. You heard a small 'ouch' before returning to the previous argument.

"Now, tell me what happened, girl, or you know the consequences!" Vlad threatened menacingly.

"I-I, m-my aimed was thrown o-off," Jenny stuttered, knowing that it wasn't a good enough answer for him.

"Is there more you would like to share? Maybe that you indeed like Danny Phantom, whom you told me you hated, and that you didn't catch him on purpose?"

"N-no" Jenny said, failing to hide the fear that trembled in her voice.

"Wrong answer." Vlad replied darkly as he pressed a lone red button in the center of a small remote control-looking type thing dangling from a chain around his neck.

Jenny's eyes started to water as pain shot through her body, coming from where the stud bracelet was attached to her left arm. She couldn't hold it any longer. She let out an ear-piercing scream.

"Too bad all of these walls are soundproof." Vlad chuckled as he started to walk out the door. "If you don't mind, which of course you don't, I have important mayor business to attend to." He walked out the door, leaving a motionless teen on the ground in front of the fireplace.

Danny woke with a start. The nightmare he had was slowly slipping away. The more he tried to grasp it, the more it faded…

See? Told you Vlad was more of a Froot Loop then usual in this story!! I mean, yeah, he hurts Danny all the time, but that's Danny, his archenemy! But hurting this poor girl!? Come on Vlad! You're such a creep!
