Chapter 8

Encouragements

A/N: You guys! I got 6 reviews so here's another bonus chapter! *squeal* Hm. Anyway…I got a couple confused questions about Danielle needed to age. When she and Danny defeated Vlad the first time, a connection was established just barely enough to knock the aging process out. In order for more power space, Vlad connected the link fully so she had more personal identification. So now Dani will age. Vlad wants a clone, but not exactly a boy one like Danny. He wants a daughter so she will attract more attention (no offense guys…XD) No I will not make them twins because I like Dani being her own person.

Now that that is taken care of, thank you very much to my reviewers! Can we get 40 on this chapter?!

Trivia Winners: FrostBitten Snowdrift, Blak-Ice, and PhanGirl135. Thanks for playing guys!

Disclaimer: I sadly do not own Danny Phantom…it would be a dream come true.

Sam looked towards the broken form of her best friend. The look on his face after Vlad left was heart clenching. She knew that he could deal with a lot of things. Whether it was failing a test just to save an innocent person or helping someone find their place, he always did it. Danny was a tough person. Seeing him give up like he did was heartbreaking to Sam. She always thought of him as a hero. Someone who would never give up. But she was wrong. Sam knew he didn't give up on purpose. He wouldn't ever do that. He gave all his effort into protecting them. She had seen days were he could barely stay conscience to days where it was a mere scrape on his arm. But he had protected them nonetheless. Total strangers had been saved by him many times. All they did was shun him in return. Never giving a smile or wave, just walking away. Danny had done everything he could.

Yet Vlad was still the one person who could bring him down. He knew that too. Vlad knew how to manipulate him in order to get what he wanted. He went to extreme measures to do it. After the asteroid, they thought he was gone. Danny had made a promise that he would make sure Vlad wouldn't ever return. The teen obviously hadn't thought the plan through. He couldn't guarantee Vlad wouldn't come back. He had just hoped. And here the man was. In full flesh…well ectoplasm anyway.

"What are we going to do?" Tucker whispered snapping Sam back. The Goth could only shake her head.

"I…I don't know Tuck. Unless someone knows we're gone, there's nothing we can do. Danny and Danielle can't get us out. There's no way for us to break a steal cage either," Sam said sadly. Tucker nodded, knowing that was the answer, just not wanting to hear it. Beside them, Jazz groaned.

"I wish we would've thought this through more…" She mumbled. Everyone nodded in agreement.

"There's got to be a way out of here!" Danny said looking all around. He and Danielle had been placed in cages much like their family had. A Specter Deflector was fastened around Dani's waist as she slept. The team figured it was because the growth process had to be restarted. Knowing the growing pains that would come, it was probably best she wasn't awake either.

Danny tugged on the bracelets preventing his powers for the umpteenth time. He groaned and dramatically fell backwards onto the ground. "How is he so good at this?!" He exclaimed annoyed. Maddie sighed and facepalmed.

"Danny, Vlad obviously knows you well enough to have plotted out your every move. He is just that headstrong on his plan," She said reaching through the bars and gripping her distressed son's hand. She squeezed it trying to get his hopes up. Danny weakly returned it, not feeling very hopeful at all. Maddie sighed and pulled her arm back. "Don't worry Danny. I promise we will make it out of here somehow."

Valerie Gray sat in the Casper High cafeteria alone. She had been on high alert ever since the Fentons along with Sam and Tucker went missing. Her dad had specifically asked Mr. Lancer to keep an eye on her, not wanting her to disappear as well. She sighed. Nobody had any clues to where they could've been. Not many ghosts had been out either. She had already planned to go to FentonWorks that afternoon to check for any hints. That would be the place to find it since that's where the group had been seen last.

The teen stood up from her table, threw away her lunch's remains, and ran outside. She tried not to look suspicious as she walked around back to where the football field was. After making sure nobody saw her, she powered up her battle suit. Setting her course, she sped off towards the Fentons' home. Valerie had briefly talked to Danny before he had disappeared as well. All she knew was his parents had been taken but they didn't know who. The next day, POOF! They were all gone. Even Danielle!

Val slowed down and landed her jet in the small backyard they had. The backdoor had carelessly been left unlocked by Jazz and Danny probably because they had been rushing around. She quietly opened it and slid in. All the lights were off and the house was pitch black. Valerie carefully slid her hand across the wall till it came in contact with a light switch. Flicking it up, her eyes were allowed to see the trashed house. She began looking around the kitchen before taking to the Living Room.

"Where could some clue be?! I feel like I'm looking for a needle in a haystack! Ugh!" She screamed frustrated. Deciding to check upstairs, she started up. After checking Danny's parents room along with Jazz's, she came to rest on a door that had DANI PHANTOM in blue and green letters. Valerie hesitated. Would Dani mind her just barging in? She had an inner conflict with herself before opening the door. Saving them was better than losing them forever.

You could almost see yourself on each piece of furniture. A piece of white paper caught her eye. Valerie walked over to the blue and green polka dotted comforter before picking up the paper. Her eyes scanned the letter quickly. Dropping the paper, a hand went to her mouth as she stumbled backwards. Wasting no time, she activated her glider and flew down the stairs into the basement. Valerie's eyes locked on the swirling green portal before she dove in.

A/N: Ooooh CLIFFIE! I was almost going to add an OC to it but then I remembered Val!

Valerie: Well thanks. I feel loved.

Me: *Nervous laugh* Yeah sorry bout that. Anyway hope you guys enjoyed this chappie! For the trivia, I'm going to do a harder question because there is going to be a reward. *wiggles eyebrows* Yes I believe I know so much about the series that I'm going to make it very hard. But! In order for it to count, you have to mention a trampoline so I know who truly read my Author's note! Thanks guys. R&R!

Trivia: Danny says Tucker scares him and he fights ghosts. How does Tucker scare him? Which episode is it?(That's kinda two questions but oh well!)
