And here we go
After Many Dates Danny and Angelica
Vlad Masters watched from his monitor as the Little Badger fought with the Kaboom girl it was child's play to have Skulker retrieve the child from her bed in the Xaviers Institute though the hunter complained about sand getting in his armor after fighting her roommate a mutant who could turn into a living sandstorm
Once Skulker had brought the girl to his lab he had the moodulator surgically implanted within the girl keeping her sedated until the proper moment to strike
Daniel on a lunch date with his little girlfriend
Now Vlad would just sit back and watch
"Let the games begin Daniel" Vlad said petting his beloved cat Maddie he looked to his vulture minions "begin phase two" he told them "and don't repeat what you did earlier this summer" Vlad threatened the birds if they dared to fail like they did when they destroyed his laboratory trying to blame it on poor Maddie of all things
Terrified for their lives the vultures nodded silently flying up through the roof looking back to the screen Vlad began smirking as he watched the battle on the screen "let the games begin"
Katie Kaboom
Punch
Out of everything he'd seen since he went through the ghost portal he's seen a lot of things that terrified him
Kick
But nothing he's seen and no one he's fought that
Slam
Terrified him like Katie Kaboom
Katie roared as she charged at him again swinging her fist down Danny leapt up Katies fist tore apart like a sledgehammer pieces of asphalt flew up raining down on them as Danny threw a punch knocking Katie back
Before his punch could land Katie grabbed Danny's fist spinning around she threw him over her shoulder Danny crashed back first into the ground Danny let out a fearful yelp as Katie tried to slam her fist down into his stomach
She would have if Danny didn't go intangible Katie roared furiously trying to slam her fist down again and again
Danny flew up out of the crater and into the air he had to get her away from the innocent bystanders Katie let out a furious roar leaping at Danny trying to knock him out of the sky
Danny dodged bringing his leg up he kicked Katie back down towards earth Katie just got back up again yelling angrily
She was angry like really really angry
But why was she mad at him
She didn't know that Danny Phantom was Danny Fenton
Did she
No that was crazy Kitty promised not to expose his secret identity and he doubted the other girls who had learned his secret this summer even knew who Katie Kaboom was
So why was she so angry
What was she even doing in Amity Park in the first place
Katie grabbed another car throwing it through the air hitting Danny head on
Dani was bored so so so bored
Not that she wasn't grateful to be here have a roof over her head all the food Danny or Jazz could sneak her and getting to have a family but there was so little to do when they weren't home
Jazz was studying for some test and Danny was out with his girlfriend Angelica
'Danny was real mopey last night' Dani thought worried for her big bro slash genetic donor the ghost powered girl didn't know why but she didn't like seeing him like that
Dani rolled over looking up at Danny's ceiling "i'm sooooo bored" she complained quietly not wanting to make any noise Danny's parents were still home working on some project in their lab
The last thing she needed was for them to catch her in either form
She wished there was something that she could do
As if to grant her wish Dani's ghost sense went off and Vlad's creepy vulture minions phased into the room the one in the fez looked at her confused "hey you're not the ghost boy"
The other two Vultures looked just as confused "maybe we got the wrong house" one suggested
"This is the only house with a sign that says Fenton" the lead one said
Dani got up grinning 'hello answer to my boredom' she got up from the bed going ghosts
The Vultures squawked in fear when she flew at them phasing them through the wall
Angelica wanted to scream out Danny's name watching him get hit by a car again
Angelica felt like her heart was going to beat out of her chest watching Danny get back up only to get knocked down over and over Angelica wanted to yell at him to run to do something to fight back to do something to stop this
'Danny please' Angelica thought horrified watching Danny her Danny get beaten to the ground again and again
But just like that dumb dog Spike who fought against that wolf to save them her boyfriend kept on fighting
'Please come back to me' Angelica begged whoever would listen
Angelica barely heard the owner of the restaurant telling everyone to evacuate through the kitchen to get away from the fight that Danny Phantom would handle things like he always does
Angelica wished she could smile at that but she couldn't
Not while Danny was having the snot beaten out of him
Danny had to stop this he had tried to get Katie away from the people but he couldn't get more then a few feet away before she hit him again and again on top of that he still didn't know what was going on
Why was Katie here and not in New York
Danny pushed himself up onto his feet Katie didn't even have a scratch on her other then a few tears in her pajamas
Wait PAJAMAS
Danny didn't pretend to be a fashion expert but he doubted a teenage girl would go across multiple states to beat him up in her pajamas
Well maybe that angry chick Eva Tucker went on a date with
But no Katie was different then that
The issue with Katie was her anger how it turned her into a raging monster
What would make her so angry at him that she would come all the way here
Out of the corner of his eye Danny noticed a flash of blue and heard what sounded like a mosquito Danny turned towards it and frowned
One of Vlad's spy bugs
"You're a twisted freak Vlad" Danny shouted angrily "are you really so petty that you'd hurt an innocent girl for one lousy punch"
Why was he even asking this was the same Vlad Masters who spent twenty years blaming his dad for the accident that gave him his powers after his dad goofed up putting Diet Cola into the machine instead of the ecto purifyer but Vlad was the idiot who stuck his face near the original portal
Of course he would kidnap Katie and turn her into a weapon
Danny looked to Katie really looked at her there were tears in the corner of her eyes she kept matching towards him breathing heavily
"Katie" Danny called out to the angry mutant "Katie I don't know if you can hear me but I'm going to save you I promise"
Katie didn't answer instead all she did was yell furiously charging at him
Danny had no choice this may not have worked the last time but this time he knew she could take it
And Danny wouldn't hold back
Danny opened his mouth unleashing a point blank ghostly wail pouring everything he had into it every ounce of his power everything he had
To save Katie Kaboom
A girl he was totally afraid of the irony wasn't lost on him
Katie stumbled back being pushed back by the power but it didn't look like she was affected in the least Danny kept going falling to his knees he kept going the power of his strongest power taking it's toll on him
Katie yelled at him one last time before she rushed him throwing one last punch that sent him flying back Danny crashed into a dumpster falling face first to the ground rings passing over his body as he transformed
Danny weakly pulled his head up to see Katie looming over him
'Oh man' Danny thought
Danny wasn't sure how this could get any worse
Dani blasted at one of the bird brains away from Fenton Works Dani smiled this was so much fun she didn't know what Vlad's plan was having his flying green turkeys showing up randomly here
"Man whatever Vlad's paying you three is wayyyyyyy too much" Dani quipped blasting one of the vultures again sure she could have probably sucked them into the thermos Jazz kept in her bedroom drawer by now
But she was having way too much fun
This was so much better then staring at Danny's ceiling
Dani charged up another blast to hit them again when someone else shot her in the back Dani turned around to see who shot her hoping that it was Skulker but no it was way worse then Skulker
It was Danny's parents
"Ha Maddie I told you the tip we got from Vladdy was good" Danny's dad said aiming the bazooka at her again
Wait he hit her
Talk about adding insult to injury
Wait did he say Vlad told him about her
Vlad KNOWS she's in Amity Park
'Oh no no no no no no no' Dani thought panicked how did he find out she was here
Dani didn't have time to panic because Danny's mom aimed her weapon at her and she was a way better shot then her husband
"Eat Fenton bazooka ghost creep" she called
Dani dropped down letting the blast hit one of Vlad's vultures the bird got sucked into a miniature ghost portal Dani really didn't want to get hit with that Danny's parents fired more shots at the youngest halfa Dani flew around not staying in one place
On the bright side the other two vultures had flown away not wanting to end up in the ghost zone like their friend
"Wait let me explain" Dani tried pleading Danny's dad just laughed
"Ha like we'd listen to a ghost creep like you" he said aiming the bazooka at her "say your prayers you putrid prepubescent combination of ectoplasm and post human consciousness"
Dani made a ball of ecto energy in her hand 'I'm sorry Danny' she thought unleashing it creating a bright green flash taking the chance Dani took off flying away
Katie's mind was in a fog
Where was she
What was she doing here
All she could really pick up was a voice whispering in her ear
Danny Phantom is the enemy
Danny Phantom is the reason you're not happy
That you don't get to be with the boy you love
Destroy Danny Phantom
Katie didn't know where the voice was coming she knew it died down when she heard some kind of wail like the howls of the dead
After the wail went away things around Katie became clearer she was in an alley that was weird why was she in an alley the last thing she remembered was going to bed at the institute
Why was she here
Katie looked down to see her brothers favorite super hero Danny Phantom on his knees in front of her Katie watched horrified as he fell to the ground
No did she do this to him
Did the voice make her attack a superhero
'What have I done' Katie thought horrified but things got worse Katie watched horrified as rings of light passed over Danny Phantoms body and a whole different Danny was standing in her place
The same cute boy who was so nice to her on their blind date but not because he liked her no because he was afraid of her
"What have I done" Katie whispered
"Your enemy is beaten finish him" the voice whispered in her head "he hates you he's afraid of you give him a reason to fear you"
Katie watched horrified as she raised her fist up
With her other hand she grabbed her fist "no I won't"
"Do it remember what he said to you he hates you he wants to destroy you don't give him the chance' the voice insisted 'FINISH HIM'
"I said no" Katie yelled out throwing a punch but not at Danny Katie felt her fist press against her stomach sending her flying on to her back Katie heard the sound of something cracking like she stepped on something and felt a sharp pain in her spine
Katie could feel herself transforming her muscles became smaller her bones shortened her skin went from it's toxic gamma green to a caucasian complexion Katie couldn't hear the voice anymore slowly bringing herself to her feet Katie looked at Danny's down body he was covered in cuts and bruises
The bruises she caused
Fearing the worst Katie walked over placing two fingers to the base of his neck she was relieved to feel a pulse beneath her fingers 'thank goodness' Katie thought 'oh thank goodness'
Katie could hear police sirens in the distance but they were getting louder and louder
Someone probably called the SWAT team to take down the monster beating the snot out of their beloved superhero
Well mostly beloved if she remembered what Tinker told her about him right some people thought he was a criminal like Spiderman
"Danny" Katie heard a girl's voice called out she sounded worried a part of Katie wondered if that was the girl he chose as his perfect match from the dating service part of her was jealous
The other part of her knew she didn't deserve Danny after what she did to him
Katie looked down at Danny's face again "I'm sorry Danny" she whispered standing up she ran out of the alley passing by a shorter blonde girl who was running in the other direction
Danny looked up tiredly when he heard Angelica calling out for him "Danny" she called again seeing him in the alley way she ran over to him Danny smiled weakly
"Hey" he told her weakly
Angelica knelt down for once not caring about her clothes getting dirty she pulled him to his feet letting him lean on her shoulder "come on i'm taking you to the hospital"
Danny shook his head "no no hospital" he muttered "secret people can't find out"
Danny looked at her for that part if they weren't in this situation he probably would have made his girlfriend smile before she called him Gorilla boy again "then where do I take you"
"Sam's" Danny muttered her house was closer to Cafe Les Fleurs they couldn't go to the Ops center not while his parents were home Jazz was at the library and probably didn't even know there was a ghost fight
And Tucker went somewhere with his parents for the day
Angelica didn't look happy but she agreed walking away from the police sirens and through the alley "which way is it" she asked
Danny pointed to the left Angelica went that way the more they walked the more Danny's advanced healing kicked in he was able to take more and more steps on his own "so why did you think I was going to break up with you" Danny asked
Angelica gave him a look "really you want to do this now" she asked "when I just found out my boyfriend is a superhero who dumped Savannah Shane like last years boots"
Danny felt a bit of panic "uh you're not going to tell Savannah about me" he asked "or anyone else are you"
Angelica let out a small laugh "relax Gorilla boy i'm not going to tell but people are going to figure out sooner or later" then she pointed at her face Danny didn't get it
"Uh do I have something on my face" he asked
"No and that's the issue wear a mask when you go all ghostly like that" she told him as if it were obvious "honestly the name you picked is a big enough hint to who you are"
That honestly was a good point
Alot of people figured out his secret identity
Barbara figured it out really fast on their blind date
'Maybe I should wear a mask' Danny thought while they climbed up the steps of the Manson house Angelica knocked on the door after a few minutes Sam opened the door her eyes widened in worry seeing him in the shape he was in "get in" she told the two pushing the young couple into her house
Sam took over quickly telling Angelica to place him on the couch while she grabbed the first aid kit she kept in her room
The three of them had become experts in first aid from all the close calls they had ghost hunting
Angelica was sitting next to him looking worried Danny felt bad this was not how he wanted her to find out he was a superhero
He wanted to ease her into it maybe take her for a flight around the city
But thanks to Vlad kidnapping the most powerful girl Danny's ever met in his life Angelica got thrown into the deep end seeing the downsides of being a superhero
"So" Danny asked trying to distract her "why did you think I was going to break up with you"
Angelica rolled her eyes "me and the preteens had a run in with a ghost" she began before she was interrupted
"You what" he asked protectively Danny didn't know who yet but whatever ghost went after his girlfriend was going to get their butt kicked across the ghost zone and back
Angelica smacked him lightly on his arm "I'm fine" she told him "turns out my fabulous personality has fans in the ghost zone well me and the preteens anyways"
Danny didn't really understand but he just kept listening about how Youngblood was apparently their biggest fan because when they were babies Tommy and his friends caused all kinds of public destruction and he gave them back their memories from when they were babies
Danny didn't know Youngblood could do that
But Danny didn't get what the big deal was so they remembered when they were babies big deal
"I don't get it" Danny said "why did you think I was going to dump you"
Angelica sighed "the little ghost called me his favorite supervillain because I was a spoiled brat I picked on them yelled at them pushed them around tricked them I called them dumb babies over and over" Angelica told her boyfriend
Danny laughed "is that all seriously" Danny asked laughing
Angelica had a clueless look on her face "but you said you hated people who picked on little kids like those two girls from the service"
Danny sat up "yeah well Cree was sixteen and she beat up her ten year old sister and her friends" Danny still got ticked off about that creep "then there's Vicky who has a popular song all about how awful she is"
Danny reached out grabbing Angelica's hand "you were what three when you called Tommy and his friends dumb babies right" when Angelica nodded Danny squeezed her hand
"Do you know how often Jazz and I have called each other names over the years" Danny went on sure he loved his sister but that didn't mean they didn't get on each others nerves "it's not nice but you were a little kid it's not like you're making fun of people now"
"No there's one other thing" Angelica said telling Danny about the time she went to Paris when she was three and the reason she thought he had talked to Chuckie
Apparently they needed her uncle to fix a giant robot Reptar he had built for a theme park and they brought along his friends and family her uncle and Chuckies dad had taken them all to the bosses office Coco where they played around ticking off the boss who really didn't like kids
They were all rushed out of the office except for Angelica who had hidden under the bosses desk pigging out on her fancy chocolates but her uncle left her behind too so she got to hear a private message between Coco and the CEO about how the CEO wanted someone who had the heart of a child to be his successor
Made sense being the head of a toy company and all
Anyways Coco lies saying she was marrying a guy with a kid while she's figuring out what to do her assistant sees Angelica where to avoid getting in trouble Angelica says she knows someone single with a kid of his own
'Oh' Danny thought understanding but he doesn't interrupt
So Angelica blackmails Coco ok that part was funny that she could let it slip why she wants to marry Chuckies dad
'Oh man that's both really funny and really evil' Danny thought laughing
So Chuckies dad ends up after knowing this lady for what three days that he wants to marry her in Notre Dame and to keep her quiet and the other kids out of the way who made a mess out of a room service cart Coco has her assistant John something take them to the warehouse where they store the Reptar robot and a giant metal snail
So after confessing Tommy convinces everyone to pilot the Reptar robot
"Hold on a second" Danny asked incredulously "Tommy and Chuckie piloted the robot"
"Yes Tommy piloted the robot standing on Finsters shoulder" Angelica answered "believe me that's the least craziest thing my cousin did as a baby"
"How" Danny asked
"What do I look like Gorilla boy my uncle Stu" Angelica exclaimed "I don't know how it worked but it did"
Danny stopped talking letting Angelica finish so they marched through Paris shot off the Eiffel tower Angelica almost died Chuckie fought John something who was piloting robosnail
After that they made it to Notre Dame
Chuckie said his first word shouting no while running down the aisle that John guy said something about a kidnapping plot failing
Uh did Danny miss something wasn't the plan to trick a guy and become President
Coco fired the guy Chuckies dad broke up with her
Angelica told everyone in the church about Coco's master plan
Not that it was that great a plan if it was foiled by a toddler
"So after she tripped my dumb babies I mean the preteens" Angelica corrected herself "I stomped down on her train and the back of her skirt ripped off so everyone could see her underwear and that's why Finster probably hates me"
Danny pushed himself up to look Angelica in the eye "I'm not gonna lie Angelica you sold a guy out and his kid to save your own skin"
Angelica looked away guiltily "I know it's the worst thing I've ever done"
"But" Danny said Angelica's eyes snapped to his "you shouldn't have been there in the first place your uncle or Mr. Finster should have made sure you left with them and honestly after you were in the office you didn't really do anything Mr. Finster chose to marry someone he just met he chose and he chose to break it off just as fast"
"My mom said Mr. Finster was so desperate he'd marry the first girl who popped the question" Angelica admitted
'Yeah I can see that' Danny thought sadly sure he thought this Coco woman was scum who deserved to lose her job but Chuckies dad was a dad he should have put more thought into who he was going to marry before they got to church he had a kid to think about
Seriously who decides to marry someone they just met that was like something out of a Disney Movie
The conversation was ended when Sam came into the room
"I've got the first aid kit" Sam said coming into the room walking over to Danny taking off his shirt Sam looked over his injuries even though they were still healing he didn't look too hot
"Geeze I haven't seen you this bad since your first fight with Vortex what hit you"
Danny felt a new surge of anger thinking about Vlad and what he did to Katie he was still a little terrified of her but she didn't deserve that no one deserved what Vlad did
He wondered what happened to her
"Vlad" Danny admitted "he used someone I-" Danny wasn't sure how to say it "that I met over the summer and turned her into a weapon against me"
"Her" Sam asked not knowing the whole story neither did Angelica "was she one of your past dates"
"Yeah she was" Danny told her "she couldn't control her powers so I told her dad about a place that could help her after something happened"
Danny didn't want to think about the carnival not just because of that terrifying nightmare he had but because thinking about it really thinking about it he messed up he could have told Katie about the institute he'd met Kitty by that point
But no he was just so afraid of her
Because she was without a doubt the powerful person that Danny had ever met since he got his powers he was sure she could take on Kara Kent AKA Supergirl she was that strong
It had been the first time since he got his powers that he felt powerless
Even against Pariah Dark and his evil self from the future he had been able to make them hurt against Katie he didn't even make her flinch
Sam finished applying disinfectant and put on some bandages "ok good news your healing will take care of the rest" she told him
"What's the bad news" Danny and Angelica asked
Sam looked to Angelica Danny might have been clueless when it came to girls but he figured this one out pretty quick so did Angelica
"I'm not going to tell anyone Danny's secret" she promised "scouts honor"
"You write a blog" Sam pointed out
"An advice column no ones going to believe me if I said my boyfriend was a superhero" Angelica told the gothic ghost hunter "it'd be like if the host of Celebrity Man hunt tried to tell serious news"
Sam still looked skeptical but Danny decided to step in "Sam it's fine I trust Angelica like I trust you and Tucker"
Danny looked to Angelica "you Angelica Pickles are a good person don't forget that"
Katie felt a twig snap under her feet she ignored the bit of pain she felt all she did was keep walking it's what she'd been doing since she left Amity Park
Her first thought had been to go to Acmeville to home with her parents and Tinker
But that wouldn't be a good idea she'd just end up hurting Tinker again
She couldn't go back to the Institute either as much as she loved the place and the friends she made there she'd just put them in danger she couldn't put anyone in danger
She was a monster she couldn't be around anyone it wasn't safe
Katie kept walking when she heard something it sounded like crying Katie frowned hearing that she walked slowly towards the sound and saw a little version of Danny Phant- of Danny crying in a tree
It took a minute but Katie recognized her "Dani" she asked
Dani's eyes snapped open the little girl looked at her with red eyes "Katie" she asked confused "what are you doing here"
Katie felt like she should be asking that a little girl didn't belong out here "you should go home it's not safe out there"
Not with a monster like her walking around
Dani looked away finding her shoes very interesting "I don't have a home"
"But what about your brother" Katie asked "what about him"
"It's not safe for him to be around me" was all Dani told her "if I stayed he was just going to get hurt"
Katie felt her heart breaking walking over she climbed up the tree sitting on the branch besides her "I'm in the same boat" Katie admitted Dani looked at Katie confused
"You're a clone made by a fruitloop too" she asked
A clone well that explained why she had white hair and why she looked so much like Danny
Katie shook her head "no I'm not a clone I'm just a monster" she told Dani who didn't look afraid of her in the slightest
"You don't look like a monster" she said cluelessly
Katie laughed it was kinda cute "no but when I get angry that's when the monster comes out" Katie told her still the little girl didn't look scared this was new to her even Danny who was the greatest guy she ever met acted scared of her
"Ok" Dani told her making Katie looked confused didn't she get it
"Didn't you hear me" Katie asked Dani nodded
"Yeah but if you only become a monster when you get angry then you're fine the rest of the time" Dani told her "and honestly you're pretty nice"
Katie didn't like how warm that made her feel
She didn't deserve to be happy she deserved to have people run away from her in terror
Up above their heads thunder sounded and it began to rain Dani leapt down from the tree "come on" Dani waved to her "we ought to find shelter"
Katie looked at her then up at the rain
"You can go back to being Katie the hermit lady when the rain dies down" Dani promised "right now come on those pj's don't look super warm"
They weren't Katie could feel the rain going through her thin clothes letting out a sigh she climbed down "lead the way"
Dani lead her towards shelter saying she's been out here before
Katie followed needing to get out of the rain
Like the little ghost girl soon as it stopped raining then they'd go their seperate ways
It was what was best for everyone
Danny felt tears in his eyes reading the note in his hand
He had come home after flying Angelica home she had been afraid at first but she loved it
Now Danny had come home to find a note on his bed
Dear Danny
Thanks for everything you've done for me but I can't stay any more
Vlad knows I'm here and so do your parents if I stayed you'll just end up getting hurt or worse
Tell Sam thanks for saving my life and say bye to Jazz for me
This isn't goodbye forever you'll see me again when it's safe
I'll miss you
Love
Your sister Dani
"Vlad" Danny grit out wanting to go over to his house and tear the older halfa limb from limb but that's what Vlad was expecting
It was all a trick he kidnapped Katie all so he could expose his little sister
He hurt two people today
That was two too many
Danny looked out the window "this means war" Danny swore squeezing Dani's note tight in his hand
One way or another Vlad Masters was going down for this
And that's all I wrote
Sorry about the delay writers block is the worst with Katie and Dani on the run and Danny on the warpath what's he going to do to take down Vlad Masters
We'll find out together won't we
Next time it's not Vlad but someone else gets taken down in the next chapter
This is 61394 saying
I hope you all had a happy new year
Stay safe everyone
And as always
Excelsior True Believers
