A/N: I am on a roll! Ideas are flowing! Can this get any better?
Danielle gasped and feebly scooted to the back of her cage. Yes, a cage. Vlad couldn't get any more fruitloopy. Plus, she was pretty sure her powers were temporarily gone. Was there any way out of this emotionally scarring place?
Her eyes widened with sudden terror as the realization of defeat settled upon here.
There was so many things she hadn't done: finish the school year, beat up Dash, make fun of Paulina, try to be gothic, learn techy stuff, become a hero, tell Jake how she felt about him...
Sudden tears blurred her vision as Vlad's hand drew closer...
Danny flew at top speed. Sam had been tossed over his shoulder in an uncomfortable position and Tucker's collar was in Danny's grip. The extra weight slowed him down, but that didn't matter. If Jake and Luna were good friends they'd do anything to help and, judging by the sound of Jake's voice, Ellie and Jake had feelings for each other.
They flew in silence, waiting for the small hometown to come into view.
Where was Valerie when you need here?
Jake remained in stunned silence as they pedalled at an incredible speed.
"Jake!" Luna cried out. "I'm sorry!"
"Can it! Danny gave me directions on the possible location! I need to find Danielle!"
Luna tightened her grip on Jake, ignoring the strangling sounds he made. "Ellie won't be okay if you barge in there emotionally unstable. This shock may lead to depression and can lead to disastrous results." She retorted, pulling out her big words.
"No. I don't care about 'bad results' because... I-I think I'm falling in love with her. I won't let anyone hurt her. Even if that man is..." he swallowed, refusing to say those accurséd words. "...related to me."
Danielle was breathing heavily, both from exhaustion and anxiety. God, she was probably having a panic attack.
"Now Danielle," Vlad's ominous eyes lit up with a malicious smile. "This won't be that bad. You'll just...wish you were dead. Hm...let's see here. No possible way for your friends to track you. No Danny and his -what?- sixteen-year-old sidekicks?" She could tell the fruitloop was sneering behind his freakish surgical mask. Her breathing instantly became quick and shallow, fear overwhelmed her. "Trouble breathing my dear? Don't worry, it'll all be over soon."
And that's when an explosion was launched.
They'd arrived beside a large 'DALV 'building. Fury lit Jake's eyes and, for once, Luna felt afraid of her old friend.
She mentally supressed her andrenaline and instantly began analyzing possible enterances and escape routes, but she didn't have to.
There was a loud explosion. She reflexively ducked, a scream escaping her parted lips.
Jake couldn't think. He hadn't felt so overwhelmed with rage since...well, he'd never felt so overwhelmed with fury. Period.
His instincts controlled him.
He raised his hands towards the wall of the building. There was a blinding flash of magenta light that was immediately followed by an explosion.
Debris scattered all over the place; there was a large hole on the wall.
Jake growled, the irises of his suddenly morphing into frightening eyes glowed a bright red color.
Being strapped onto a lab table sucked, but Danielle managed to somehow lift her head up.
Her drooping eyes suddenly widened in amazement.
Jake stood at the large opening in the wall. He looked...it was nearly indescribable: magenta electricity surrounded his lean body, and his red eyes seemed to be clouded over with rage.
Vlad blinked, managing to sputter out a few words. "B-b-b-but y-y-y-you're not a gh-ghost!"
"No. Just half. Like my disgusting father!" Jake spat, hatred consuming his words.
"F-father?"
"Remember Helen Deneth? Asshole! It happened a while after your lab accident. You peice of trash. You sicken me and I would never dare to call you my father." He stomped into the lab.
Danielle blinked away tears of relief. "Jake..."
His gaze softened as he tore away at her restraints. His red eyes instantly transformed back into those familiar, soft gray eyes; the ghostly energy that had surrounded him dissipated.
"We're gonna get you out of here, okay?"
"We?" Danielle questioned.
"We." Luna smiled triumphantly as she began tearing at the restraints. "You didn't think I'd leave youand your new beau all alone, did you?"
A tear slipped out of Danielle's eyes as she sat up, her strength instantly returning as she slipped off the cold peice of metal that had been draining her of her powers. She extended her arms as an invitation for a hug. "You guys-"
A sudden blast made her yelp, reflexively sheilding her face. She gasped as a sudden ghost ray sent her two friends flying. Luna landed across the room with a sickening crunch as she curled into a feeble position and gripped her arm painfully.
Jake was slammed into the wall, and fell to the floor, unconcious. The dent in the wall was not reassuring.
Vlad charged up an ecto blast. "I finally have a perfect half ghost son! My experiments are bound to be better!" He paused. "You will die with your little friend. Today."
Tears poured down Danielle's pale face. She released all her negative emotions all at once in one terrifying high-pitched screech. "NOOOOOO!"
Her unusual power was revealed by the visible sound waves that was emitted from her mouth. Her Ghostly Wail. Her very own Ghostly Wail.
She didn't stop screeching, even after she felt a familiar presence stand beside her.
Danny dropped his friends to safety and flew into the buidling.
He covered his ears at the sound of an indescribably horrifying, high-pitched wail -or screech?- that he'd heard miles before arriving.
He managed to fly into the room and drag the bruised-and-battered Jake and Luna to safety. He left Sam and Tucker to check the two unconcious teens for injuries before instantly flying to Danielle's side. He summoned up every ounce of power he had and, together, the clone and the original managed to combine their powers creating the most powerful Wail known in Phantom history.
The building crumbled after a couple of seconds.
Smoke, dust and debris was scattered everywhere.
Sam and Tucker froze, relaxing only when they saw I trembling Danny return with Danielle in his arms and Vlad being dragged behind by his torn collar.
Sam didn't bother asking. Her ears were still ringing after that terrible display of power.
She instantly checked the remaining two. "Vlad's ears are bleeding. We need to get him to a hospital. Stat. Danielle looks like she's in pretty bad shape but is already recovering."
"And them?" Danny weakly jerked his thumb at his clone's friends, his glowing green eyes seemed to grow dim.
Tucker nodded. "They're fine. Luna might have a sprained -scratch that. She definitely has a broken arm and...Jake's...well, I'm not exactly sure..." Tucker's voice trailed off.
"Tucker, call someone. We need a ride. I don't think I can handle flying us all to safety, much less me." Danny ordered and sunk to the ground as Tucker pulled out his cell phone and began dialing.
Sam pulled Danny closer to him, allowing him to wearily and weakly slump against her. She gave him a small smile after he transformed back into Fenton. "I love you so much."
"I love you too Sam." Danny smiled.
A/N: Not much Sam and Danny fluff. I kinda feel bad about that...
PLEASE REVIEW!
I promise I didn't steal any ideas, so I want to say thanks to Twins of the Earth for inspiring the idea of Jake being related to Vlad. They originally said uncle...but father was a nice twist. :)
"Luke, I am your father!" Teehee. Star Warsy theme goin' on here. I'm weird. Just ignore me.
Anyways, to all the few people who still review my story...what do you think should happen next? I've already got the last 2 chaps, but I want to publish at least four final chapters after this one. I'm open for any ideas and I promise to give credit.
If not, I'll just wing it.
Hasta luego!
