Chapter 7

Payback

A/N: Oh my gosh, I am so sorry! Believe me when I say my life has been an ongoing hurricane these past few weeks…I barely had any time to sleep. On the bright side, school is let out June 4th, but I will be going on vacation, and bringing my laptop. I can't promise an update each week, but I will try. I also feel musical so I am planning on doing a songfic. Any song suggestions? Thanks for all my reviews! I'm almost to 30!

Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom…although that would be freaking awesome!

Vlad had managed to trick the teens into believing he was Danielle and leading them successfully into his trap. "You would think that Daniel of all people would've done something about Danielle's obnoxious behavior," He thought bitterly. Now, his could fully begin his plan.

The elder halfa walked into the kitchen, grabbing a water bottle before phasing into his lab. He walked up to a door with a scanner on one side along with a speaker. Vlad pushed the green button.

"Please place hand on scanner," The computer requested. Vlad placed his left hand on the scanner and watched eagerly as the red light scanned his hand. "DNA recognized. Please proceed Mr. Masters." Vlad grinned as the door slid open with a hiss. As he stepped inside the room, many responses to his entrance were heard.

"Vlad!"

"Let us go!"

"You Fruitloop!"

Vlad just grinned as Maddie, Samantha, and Jasmine yelled at him. He ignored them and walked over to a computer screen. On it, was the data and information Vlad needed to complete his plan. The hybrid seemed pleased with the information on the screen. All he needed now, were the other half-ghosts to wake up. He decided to go see for himself how they were.

Yells of protest were heard as he began to walked towards the two restrained hybrids. Vlad raised a hand and promptly smacked Danny on his right cheek. The boy cried out as the impact made him open his eyes. The teen began to struggle, only to stop as the chains around his wrists and ankles tightened.

"Vlad!" Danny hissed weakly. Vlad smirked seeing he had angered the young teen. Danny glared as he chuckled. The younger halfa cringed as his cheek seared with pain. "What are you up to?" He mumbled. Vlad quit laughing long enough to look at the suspended teen.

"What am I doing? Ha! Daniel, I knew you weren't smart but at least you should have some sense!" Vlad sneered back. Danny glared once more.

"At least I'm smart enough to figure out how to save the Earth from destruction!" Danny spat back. The surrounding members of his family and friends started snickering. Vlad was enraged. He gripped Danny's right arm and began twisting it backwards causing the boy to scream as a crack resounded through the room, breaking the teen's arm.

"DANNY!" His family screamed out hearing his cry.

"Leave him alone Vlad!" Sam and Tucker shouted from their cage. Vlad just smirked and lit his hand up with electricity. Danny let out a pained scream once more causing Vlad to pump more energy into the beam. The teen began to lose consciousness before Vlad stopped.

"Let's see how much you're look-a-like here can handle," He said moving towards Danielle, who was in the same position as her brother. Vlad had originally put her in a ghost-proof cage, but seeing as he would be putting Danny there as well, the boy could easily break out using his Ghostly Wail. Danny began protesting as he neared his little sister.

"Leave her alone! You have me just let them go! Please," He begged looking at Vlad. Vlad looked like he was considering it, but then shook his head. Danny groaned and began to struggle again, but immediately stopped feeling the pain in his arm flare. Vlad had already woken up Dani using the same way as he had done to Danny.

"What's going on?!" She asked frantically. Her eyes caught the sight of her family in front of her. (A/N: I'm going to consider Sam and Tucker as family seeing they always are around! Now back to the story!) Her eyes flickered over to her whimpering brother. "Danny! Are you okay?!" She asked. Vlad laughed causing the young girl's eyes to fly over towards him. "What's going on here?!" She exclaimed.

"Danielle, you need to calm down okay? I promise everything's going to be okay," Danny said soothingly. Dani took a few calming breaths before facing upwards. Vlad snickered evilly. He obviously enjoyed seeing the hybrid's panicking mood.

"Oh it's not going to be fine Daniel. You have no idea what you just got yourself into. Did ya have a nice few weeks while I was floating in space?!" Vlad sneered. The family stifled a laugh. "Nothing like getting hit with a few hundred pounds of anti-ghost element! And then to return to the place I once called home to see Danny Fenton, your son, the Ghost Boy, receiving statues and praise on a plan that was destined for me!" he exclaimed annoyed.

"Oh yeah…that must've been terrible." Jazz said rolling her eyes. Vlad turned to glare at her. She immediately silenced herself. Vlad turned back around to face Danny and Danielle. Both were giggling madly, but quietly. Vlad growled causing both hybrids to shut up, but not stop smiling.

"So when I managed to get back, I came back to my mansion. Fixed up a few things, created a plan, and put it to action. I captured Maddie and Jack giving Danielle the note of evidence and required ingredients," Vlad pulled out the Ecto-Dejecto and some of the Fenton Weapons including a new device called the Fenton Anti-Ghost Wristbands (wristbands that disable ghost powers), the Ghost Peeler, and Specter Deflector. Team Phantom gasped, totally having forgotten about the weapons they had brought. "Then I returned for the young clone herself. I managed to duplicate myself and shape-shift one form into Danielle. The other brought her back here. Who knew you four were so gullible enough to not notice her difference in behavior, especially Daniel! After causing the Speeder to crash, I finally got you back here to begin Act Two." Vlad said throwing his head back and laughing.

Sam honestly didn't understand what was going on. "So wait…you just captured us for no reason?" She asked confused. Vlad laughed again.

"No dear Samantha," Sam growled at this, "I have a plan, but first…" Vlad punched a button on the wall. For a second nothing happened…but then Danny and Danielle began screaming. Electricity was pumping into their veins, making them weak and vulnerable. But just as fast as they started, the shocks stopped. The two halfas panted for air as aftershocks racked their body. Their family could only sit and watch sadly.

Vlad walked over and unlocked the two before they promptly collapsed on the floor from the lack of energy. Maddie, Jack, Sam, Tucker, and Jazz began protesting as Vlad placed Danny inside one of the machines from the first visit with Danielle. Danny weakly struggled but found it useless. Danielle was placed into another machine connected to Danny's.

"What are you doing Vlad?" Maddie yelled fearing for her youngest children's lives. Vlad turned around to face the group.

"Part two involves a little different strategies my dear Maddie. In order for me to make the perfect clone, I need to combine Daniel's powers to Danielle's to not only allow her to age, but so when I do take a DNA profile from her, the new clone will age and have Daniel's powers. The aging process on Danielle was disabled after she began combining energies with Daniel during their fights. Being as they both have a stable ectoplasmic signature, their DNA's began to recognize the similarities and combined their powers. The link between them will eventually strengthen enough that they can give each other their energy and possibly even telepathic communication," Vlad explained messing with the controls.

Danny and Danielle shared looks before looking towards their family with begging eyes. To Danielle, this was a huge change. It wasn't that she didn't want to grow up, but that she wasn't ready to experience something like this. She needed advice before going through this, especially if Vlad was around. Maddie and Jazz caught the girl's distressed look and sent her one that was of reassurance. Right then, Dani knew her new mom and sister would help her through it all. Possibly Sam could too. Vlad sat and watched this with fake sympathy on his face.

"Aw touching family moment. Too bad I don't care!" He yelled before hitting yet another button.

Screams filled the room. Two screams of pain loud enough to make people miles away drop to the ground. Screams that caused Maddie to begin crying into Jack's shoulder, Sam into Tucker's. Jazz covered her ears and sank to her knees. It was heartbreaking. Too sad too bear.

But then it stopped. Silence. Sweet bitter silence. The family opened their eyes just to see Danny and Danielle slump to the bottom, too weak to stand and Vlad howl with excitement. He had won. And Danny and Danielle knew that. There was no one to save them now.
