Chapter 6

The Search

A/N: Okay so sorry I haven't updated sooner. I had tons of school work even we just went back this Monday. This chapter probably won't be that long either cause I still have homework. On the bright side, tonight is our Father Daughter Dance at school so I will be having fun there. I'm having a slight writer's block but I gotta try anyway. Thanks for all the reviews!
Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom.

Winners of the trivia: final-zangetsu, PhanGirl135, & SamXDanny! Thanks for playing!

-DannyFenton-DanielleFenton-

Danielle groggily hopped out of bed and ran downstairs. There she saw Jazz, Sam, Tucker, and Danny already dressed and ready for the day and talking about their plan. She threw the Specter Deflector on the table angrily before sitting down. All talking ceased as she did so. They all stared at her, shocked.

"Morning Dani…..did you sleep well?" Jazz asked putting a small smile on.

"Ha! I guess if you consider knowing your parents have been kidnapped by your creator and it's basically all your fault good sleep, then sure why not," She snapped. Danny glared.

"Danielle I know you're mad but you can't just go fighting without knowing what's coming. I promise we will go. And I promise you can fight, but not alone," He said looking at her. Sam and Tucker nodded.

"We've let Danny do that before and it doesn't usually end well," Sam said referring to when they let Danny fight the Ghost King, which ended with him unconscious in his bed for around 3 hours afterwards. Danny smiled sheepishly.

Danielle sighed, "Fine. But if something happens, do not underestimate that I will start saying it's my fault." She said looking down. Jazz face-palmed. Now she knew Danielle was defiantly Danny's clone, because he'd blame himself for this too. She watched as Dani got down a bowl and poured cereal into it before going to the fridge. Danny and Tucker hopped up from the table and ran downstairs into the lab to get ready. So now it was just the 17 year old and the Goth sitting watching Danielle eat. Sam sighed.

"Okay. We need to get moving! And Dani I'm not trying to not allow you to eat but who knows what Vlad's done already!" She exclaimed. Jazz nodded. Danielle just huffed and put her half eaten bowl in the sink. They walked downstairs to see Danny in Phantom form floating near the Specter Speeder. Tucker was sitting inside messing with the controls. "What are you guys doing?" Sam shouted causing Danny to hit his head on the doorframe and yelp in pain.

"Jeez Sam! How about a little bit of warning next time?" He exclaimed rubbing his head. Sam smirked.

"What if I don't want to?" She asked. Danny gave her a look and she smirked once more knowing she won.

"Oh I don't know Sammy-kins….what could I do?" He said now grinning from ear to ear. Sam cautiously took a few steps back, even though she knew he was just playing around. To prove his point, the Ghost Boy turned intangible and flew into Sam. Her eyes glowed neon green.

"Hi. My name's Samantha Manson. My favorite color is pink and my best friend is the amazing Danny Fenton," Danny's voice sounded from Sam. He flew out now laughing along with Tucker.

"Danny quit playing around! We have a problem on our hands here!" Jazz said throwing her hands in the air. Danny took a deep breath and exhaled.

"Fine way to ruin the fun Jazz," He said climbing into the Speeder. Danielle transformed and followed him as well. The two girl teens looked at each other before grabbing Fenton Peelers and hopping in. Tucker was positioned at the control which Sam immediately pushed him over and sat there. Danny and Danielle floated behind the two while Jazz stood next to them.

"I'm guessing we're forgetting something," Jazz said climbing back out but quickly returning with the Ecto-Dejecto in a beaker and some other weapons. "Did Dad ever fix this?" She asked handing it to Danny who shoved it into his pocket.

"I'm not sure. I think he said he did but knowing Dad he may have just messed it up more," The hybrid replied. Jazz gave a nod of agreement. Sam started the Speeder and activated "The Roar of the Rockets" and plunged down through the tunnel. The appeared outside after spilling all the water out of the blow up pool.

"Okay so I'm guessing we should be able to find which mansion he's at by going to each of them and looking for clues. So let's start at this one," Danny said typing in the desired location before returning to his spot. Sam floored the petal down and they took off.

-DaniPhantom-DannyPhantom-

Vlad grinned evilly as he watched Team Phantom start towards his mansion. He laughed and turned away from the projection.

"Don't you dare lay a hand on them," A voice behind him growled. Vlad smirked.

"My dearest Maddie, you have no say in what I do to them now. I have a plan, and neither of you are going to interfere in what Daniel has coming for him," He said turning to face his captives. Maddie and Jack were situated a cage just behind the hybrid frowning and crossing their arms. Both parents hadn't moved much since they had first been brought here. Next to them, there was another cage except it glowed green. The inhabitant inside had yet to wake up but had been continuously groaning.

"You wouldn't," She challenged. Vlad just laughed.

"Watch me," He spat.

Maddie and Jack glared at him as he strutted out of the room. "Young Daniel won't know what hit him. Time to go bring in the other equipment," He said entering a dark hallway. Vlad started going through all the devices that were in front of him till he found the desired one. It was square with two prongs on the end. "Perfect," He whispered.

-DannyFenton-DanielleFenton-

Danielle sighed for the umpteenth time. They had practically searched the current mansion 3 times but Danny insisted they checked again. Said hybrid floated through the floor in front of his younger sister.

"Find anything yet?" He asked. Danielle groaned and shook her head. Danny sighed. "I guess they aren't here then…I'll go find Sam and Tuck. Can you get Jazz?" He asked turning to Danielle who slumped her shoulders and nodded. Danny gave her a look before phasing through the wall to find his friends. Danielle sighed and went to find Jazz.

-DaniPhantom-DannyPhantom-

After searching, they managed to find the rest of the team and get back to the Speeder. Danny once more programmed the destination in and now they were heading to the Colorado Rockies. The last time Danny and Danielle were here…hadn't been good. So to say the least, both were nervous about returning. Jazz was still trying to figure out why her sister was being so different. She knew Dani was skeptic about going near Vlad but she hadn't seen her this moody yet.

"Danielle you sure you're okay?" Jazz asked looking at her suspiciously. Danielle gave an audible huff of air showing she was annoyed before turning around and nodding. Everyone was now watching her carefully, Danny especially. He wasn't ever this grumpy which doesn't explain why she was. The Ghost Boy knew not everything was dead on of course but she had pretty much all of his characteristics except she was a girl. He dropped the subject and focused ahead. Sam had driven them far enough to see Vlad's in the distance.

"There it is!" He exclaimed pointing ahead. The Speeder made groans and croaks before slowing down.

"What's going on?!" Jazz yelled grabbing a seat.

"The Speeder shut down! Prepare for emergency landing!" Tucker shouted rolling into fatal position. Danny face-palmed, grabbed all his friends minus Danielle and turned them intangible. He look pulled them close as they all grabbed his hands. The vehicle impacted onto the ground, causing tons of damage. Danny floated out with Sam, Jazz, and Tuck in hand. He set them down before looking around. Danielle floated out, unharmed but grinning. Danny silently got the other's attention before pointing to her. Danielle's head snapped up towards their confused gazes.

"Looks like I won Daniel," Vlad's voice came. Everyone looked around but then at Danielle. Her eyes had turned a deathly red and she was smirking. Her ghostly form shifted to the form of an all familiar ghost.

Standing in front of Team Phantom was Vlad Plasmius. He laughed before throwing a tube at them. They all collapsed on the ground as an orange mist surrounded them and knocked them unconscious. He laughed evilly before teleporting them and the teens on the ground away.

Thank you guys so much for all the reviews and sorry Danny was kinda OOC in this chappie. I will work on that!
