Danny Phantom Forever
Spoiler: In this chapter we'll see some good character development for Danielle as well as some nice family moments. We'll also see some things that will foreshadow events of the season finale.
Mental Breakdown
It was afternoon in Amity Park and Danny and his little sister, Danielle, were busy fighting a flying ghost shark. The ghost shark roared as it flew at Danny and tried to bite him but Danny dodged its teeth and then punched it in the nose. The ghost shark growled angrily as it flew at Danny but Danielle flew at it and kicked it in the side, knocking it into a wall.
She floated in the air and glared at the shark as she said, "Hey fish out of water, you're gonna need bigger jaws!"
Danny floated next to her as he criticized, "Thanks for the help Dani, but you gotta work on your lines."
Danielle was disappointed as she said, "Jazz likes my witty banter."
Danny looked tedious as he said, "Jazz needs to work on her lines too."
The ghost shark flew at them again and tried to bite them both, but they separated to avoid its teeth and flew in opposite directions. The ghost shark roared as it chased Danielle through the air and tried to bite her until Danny threw a ball of ecto energy at it.
It floated in the air and growled as it turned to Danny who glared as he said, "Okay Bruce, time for your dentist appointment!"
The shark flew at Danny with its mouth open but Danny punched it in the mouth and knocked out a few of its teeth.
The ghost shark crashed to the ground and Danielle joined Danny as he smiled and said, "You see? Try more like that."
The ghost shark flew at them again and swung its tail at Danny and sent him flying through the air as he screamed. The ghost shark then turned to Danielle and opened its mouth as wide as it could, preparing to eat her. Danielle quickly through her hands out and formed a spherical ecto-shield around herself, and the shark bit her shield. The ghost shark could not penetrate her force-field and hurt its own teeth as it cried in pain, then Danielle dropped her shield and kicked the shark in the face. She knocked it down onto a rooftop and it growled as it prepared to attack again, but Danny floated in front of it with his eyes glowing blue. He then fired ice rays from his hands and froze the ghost shark in a huge chunk of ice as it showed a scared expression.
Danny landed on the rooftop and smiled while Danielle landed next to him and happily said, "Yeah! Shark on ice!"
Danny looked down at her as he honestly said, "Better, but keep trying."
Danielle looked down in disappointment until Danny handed her the Fenton Thermos and happily said, "You want to do the honors?"
Danielle took the Fenton Thermos as she happily said, "With pleasure!"
She immediately sucked the frozen ghost shark into the Fenton Thermos and smiled as she put the lid back on it.
She smiled up at Danny as she said, "I hope that one day I'll be as great a hero as you Danny."
Danny smiled proudly as he took the Fenton Thermos and said, "Don't worry Dani. You will, someday."
He then flew off with a ghostly tail and Danielle watched him with an admiring smile before she followed him with a ghostly tail.
Opening theme
The title card showed an image of Danny and Danielle looking through windows of what appeared to be a prison with scared expressions as they held bars. It was still early in the afternoon and Danny and Danielle were home as they told Tucker, Sam, and Jazz about their fight with the ghost shark. They sat on the couch while Danny stood in front of them in his human form and Danielle floated next to him in her ghost form.
Danielle moved her arms around as she happily said, "And then Danny froze it and I said 'Shark on ice!'"
Tucker smiled as he happily said, "Sweet! Nice going dude!"
Sam agreed as she said, "Yeah. Good job."
Danny smiled as he said, "Thanks guys."
Danielle then asked, "What about me?"
Sam looked at Danielle as she honestly said, "You did good, but you need a little work on your lines."
Danielle hung her head in disappointment, but Jazz walked up to her and smiled tenderly as she said, "Well I think you did great Danielle. I'm so proud of you."
Danielle had a warm smile as she said, "Thanks Jazz. I'm glad I have such a great family that loves me."
Suddenly they heard a beeping sound coming from behind the door to the basement lab and then Jack and Maddie burst through it. Jack was holding the Fenton Finder in his hands while Maddie had the Fenton Ghost Weasel hanging from her shoulder.
Maddie glared her goggles as she held the nozzle of the Fenton Weasel out and yelled, "Eat Fenton Weasel!"
Danielle then asked, "Mom, what are you-"
She screamed in terror as she was sucked into the Fenton Weasel, crammed inside it as she said, "Okay, this is worse than being stuck inside the Fenton Thermos."
Jazz was shocked as she looked at her parents and said, "Mom! Dad! What are you doing?!"
The Fenton Weasel shook a bit as Danielle's voice came from inside it as she said, "Yeah! Did I do something wrong? Am I being punished? Because if I am, this is cruel and unusual."
Maddie looked down at the Ghost Weasel with regret as she apologized, "Sorry Danielle. We didn't know you kids were home yet."
Jack agreed as he held up the Fenton Finder and explained, "Yeah, the Fenton Finder detected two ghosts up here and we thought we were being attacked."
Danny looked irritated as he said, "Dad, do you know how often that thing detects me and Dani?"
Jazz agreed as she put her hands on her hips and sternly said, "Danny's right! Your ghost hunting obsession is starting to become a liability around here."
The Fenton Weasel shook while Danielle said, "Yeah, and I've been on the receiving end of it a lot lately!"
Jack looked a bit offended as he said, "What?! Like when?!"
Three flashbacks played, the first one showed Jack practicing with the Jack o' Nine Tails as he lashed it around like a whip before accidentally hitting Danielle when she walked behind him. The second showed Maddie in the lab doing target practice with a wrist-mounted ghost blaster when Danielle walked in and Maddie accidentally shot her.
She knocked her down and Maddie showed regret as she said, "Oops!"
The third flashback showed Danielle watching TV in her room, eating chips, when Jack burst through the door.
He held the Fenton Finder in his hands as he smiled and said, "Aha!"
Danielle looked at him with confusion and he showed disappointment as he said, "Oh, it's only you."
The flashback ended and Maddie looked at the kids as she sincerely said, "Okay, I'll admit we have been inconsiderate lately. We'll try to be more mindful of you kids' ghost halves."
Danny smiled as he said, "Good. Thanks mom."
The Fenton Weasel shook against Maddie's hip as Danielle impatiently said, "Great! Now that that's out of the way, COULD SOMEONE PLEASE LET ME OUT OF HERE!?"
Maddie smiled sheepishly as she looked down at the Fenton Weasel and said, "Right! Sorry sweetie."
She then put the Fenton Weasel in reverse and freed Danielle; sometime later, they all went down to the basement lab where Danny and Danielle practiced with their ghost powers. Danny demonstrated his speed while flying and then made two duplicates of himself, prompting his parents, Tucker, Sam, and Jazz to applaud for him. Danny and his clones merged back into one and then everyone watched Danielle as she desperately tried to duplicate herself. She stood on the floor and grunted in exertion as she clinched her fists, then her upper body stretched out as she just sprouted a second head.
The others were stunned as they stared at her and Jack said, "Whoa! Siamese twins!"
Danielle's heads were both disappointed and simultaneously said, "Aww! I still can't duplicate myself!"
Danny walked up to her and smiled reassuringly as he said, "Don't worry Danielle, the same thing happened to me the first few times I tried it. It took me almost a year before I nailed that trick. You just need to keep trying."
Danielle's two heads smiled at him with appreciation; the next day, Danielle was sitting on her bed, holding a controller as she played a videogame on her TV. She smiled as she made sounds of excitement until Jack and Maddie walked in and looked at her playing her game.
Jack showed disapproval as he said, "Danielle, are you still playing that game?"
Danielle looked a bit tense as she said, "Yeah and I'm about to beat my highscore!"
She then lost her game and groaned in frustration while Jack sternly said, "Danielle, you're rotting your brain playing that stupid game. You should be doing something better with your free time."
Maddie smiled as she held her hand out and said, "Your father's right dear. It's a beautiful day. Why don't you go outside and play with your friends."
Danielle thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
She transformed into her ghost form and phased out through her wall and flew into town; sometime later she was playing basketball with some kids from her school.
She and some of her friends were playing against a team with some jerks, one of them said, "Hey look, it's Danny Phantom's sidekick!"
Danielle narrowed her eyes with a vexed expression as she helped her friends as they played against the other team. At the end of the game, Danielle showed off a bit as she went ghost and floated in the air and threw the ball through the goal, winning the game.
She happily cheered for herself until a boy on the other team glared at her and said, "Cheater!"
He and the rest of his team left in a huff while Danielle said, "It was just for fun."
She looked at her team and they showed mixed feelings before leaving Danielle alone with her thoughts. Sometime later, Danielle walked home in her human form as she held the basketball in her hands and sadly sat down on the stoop. Jazz looked through the window and noticed Danielle sadly sitting by herself and she showed empathy before walking away.
Tucker suddenly came up to Danielle and said, "Hey Danielle."
She glanced up at him as she sadly said, "Oh, hi Tucker."
Tucker showed a bit of concern as he kept looking down at her and said, "You okay? You look like something's bugging you."
Danielle looked up at Tucker as she honestly said, "I'm not in the mood today. I don't want to talk about it."
Tucker sympathized but wasn't sure what to say until he got an idea and smiled as he said, "I've had days like that too. Hey, there's a new arcade opening tonight. Why don't you come and take your mind off things?"
Danielle smiled as she stood up and said, "Sounds good. I'll meet you there tonight."
Later that night, Danny was in the kitchen eating with his parents when Jazz walked in and said, "Hey, can you talk to you guys about Danielle? I think something's bothering her."
Danny thought for a second and said, "She has been kind of down lately."
Maddie glanced around at her family and said, "Well let's go see if she wants to talk."
They went upstairs and knocked on her door but heard nothing, then they went in and saw that she was not present. Jack and Maddie both narrowed their eyes while Jazz and Danny looked up at them with nervous expressions.
Meanwhile Tucker was waiting outside the new arcade when Danielle flew to him and said, "Hey Tuck."
Tucker smiled at her as he opened the door and said, "Hey Dani. Join the party."
Danielle turned human as she and Tucker walked in and smiled with excitement as they saw kids all around them. Some of them were from Casper High, including Dash, Kwan, and Mikey as they all played different videogames.
Dash angrily banged his fist against one game and then walked to Tucker and Danielle while he said, "Stupid machine! These games are rigged!"
Tucker smiled arrogantly as he said, "We'll see about that. Get ready to see a techno geek in action."
Tucker and Danielle spent over an hour playing different games and they both got angry each time as they tried so hard to win but ended up losing every time.
They both had enough, regrouped, and Danielle angrily said, "Dash was right! These games cheat!"
Tucker also expressed anger as he said, "Yeah, and they're busted! I was about to beat the boss when my game just stopped and said 'Game Over'!"
Suddenly Danny phased down through the ceiling in his ghost form and said, "Dani!"
She and Tucker looked up at him as he flew up to them as she asked, "Danny, what are you doing here?"
Danny pointed his thumb to the side and said, "I'm looking for you. Mom and dad want you home now!"
Danielle sighed in exasperation before she left with Danny; the next day she was sitting on the couch as Jack and Maddie lectured her.
Maddie sternly looked down at Danielle as she said, "Danielle, you know better than to sneak out after dark. We were worried something was bothering you and then we find that you're not even home."
Danielle looed up at them as she said, "I'm sorry, but Tucker told me about this new arcade and I thought it would be fun."
Maddie looked stressed as she said, "You can go to an arcade any day, but you can't sneak out without permission."
Danielle shrugged as she said, "I just wanted to clear my head. It wasn't even any fun anyway, all the games were rigged."
Jack folded his arms as he sternly said, "You and your videogames."
Maddie held her head in frustration as she said, "Danielle, what are we going to do with you?"
Suddenly the doorbell rang and everyone turned to the front door with curiosity; Jack answered it to see a tall pale man wearing a grey suit and sunglasses.
He seemed rather unsettling as he smiled and said, "Hello people, my name is Bertram and I work with the Amity Park Facility for Troubled Youths, and let me ask you, are any of your children troubled in any way?"
Maddie glanced to the side and said, "Well, we have been worried about our youngest daughter lately."
Bertram smiled as moved his hands and said, "Then I have good news for you. Our facility is running a special three-day-long counseling period for children and teens. We are enlisting children in our program and giving them the best counseling and therapy in our safe and secure facility."
Jack was weary as he said, "I don't know."
Bertram smiled slyly as he pointed his finger and said, "Did I mention it's 50% off?"
Sometime later, a bus full of kids was parked in front of the house as Jack, Maddie, and Danielle walked to it.
Danielle looked at her parents as she nervously said, "You're sending me to a mental hospital?"
Maddie looked at Danielle as she calmly said, "It's a counseling center, and it's only for a few days."
Jack smiled hopefully as he said, "Yeah, I'm sure you'll have a great time."
Danielle got on the bus and found a seat as she sat next to Tucker and said, "You too Tucker?"
Tucker looked down at her as he said, "Yeah, my parents think I'm addicted to tech."
Danielle understood as she looked out the window and saw her parents, Danny, and Jazz looking at her. She sadly waved "goodbye" to them as the bus drove away and they waved back at her with similar expressions.
Danny showed concern as he said, "I don't like this."
Jazz narrowed her eyes with a suspicious expression as she said, "Neither do I."
The next day at Casper High, Danny met Sam and told her everything, and she said, "Yeah, my parents tried to send me to that place but my grandma talked them out of it."
Danny expressed concern as he said, "Good, I have a bad feeling that place isn't what they say it is."
Sam became curious as she said, "You think Dani and Tucker are in trouble."
Danny was weary as he said, "Maybe. I don't trust that Bertram guy."
Jazz, who overheard everything, joined them with a serious expression as she said, "Smart move Danny. Something about that guy creeps me out. Even his name seems like a bad sign to me. Bertram."
Sam showed an amused expression as she sarcastically said, "Yeah, Bertram. A really scary name."
Jazz pointed at Sam as she seriously said, "Go ahead and make jokes but don't say I didn't warn you. Either way, I really don't like the idea of Danielle spending three days at that place."
Danny looked at Jazz with concern as he said, "I'm with you on that one."
Later at Fenton Works, Jack was sitting on the couch with Maddie as he cried over a picture of Danielle while Danny, Sam, and Jazz watched.
Maddie held Jack to comfort him as she said, "It's okay Jack. Danielle will be home in two days."
Jack was sobbing as he said, "Two days isn't soon enough! She's been a part of our family for only a few months and she's already gone!"
He kept crying while the kids walked upstairs; Jazz went into her room while she pulled out her cellphone.
Sam looked at Danny as she said, "I know he misses Danielle, but I think your dad's really overreacting."
Danny spoke honestly as he said, "Maybe, but I'm still worried about Tucker and Danielle."
Jazz came back out with an urgent expression as she said, "You should be. Something is definitely wrong. I just tried to call that mental facility and the number they gave us isn't working. That Bertram guy gave us a fake number!"
Danny and Sam both gasped in shock, then Danny narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay, that's it! Something's definitely going on!"
Danny then changed to his ghost form and seriously said, "I'm going to that mental hospital, find out what's really going on, and get Dani and Tucker out of there."
Sam showed a serious expression as she said, "And I'm going with you!"
Jazz agreed as she said, "Me too!"
They both looked at her as Sam waved her hand and said, "Uh, no Jazz. Danny and I can handle this…"
Jazz looked at them with a serious expression as she said, "Guys, Danielle is in there. I'm going!"
Danny and Sam both smiled with slightly intimidated expressions as they decided not to argue with Jazz. Later that night, they went to the mental facility and spied on it from some bushes; Sam and Jazz had brought a bunch of ghost hunting equipment as they prepared for the worst. Danny tried to fly into the building but couldn't as he hit a ghost shield protecting it as it hurt him and knocked him down. Jazz stared through a pair of binoculars as she examined different areas of the mental facility and spotted several things.
While she saw these things she suspiciously said, "A ghost shield, specter detectors, creepy guards, and security cameras. There is definitely something going on here."
Danny spoke urgently as he said, "We have to get in there!"
Sam looked at him and Jazz as she asked, "But how?"
Jazz spotted something with her binoculars as she said, "There's an open window. We can get in through there."
Danny looked at the girls as he said, "Okay but how am I going to get past all the ghost defenses."
Jazz smiled slyly as she held up the Fenton Thermos, Danny sighed in exasperation and whined, "Great."
Jazz sucked Danny into the Fenton Thermos and then she and Sam snuck closer to the facility and stealthily made their way to the window. They climbed in and glanced around to make sure no one was around, then Jazz freed Danny from the Fenton Thermos.
Danny looked at his girlfriend and sister as he said, "Okay, we're in. Now let's find Dani and Tucker."
Jazz and Sam started walking through hallways while Danny floated beside them and they passed several kids from Casper High.
They were all sulking with miserable expressions as Sam said, "This feels really familiar."
They went to Dash, who was sitting in a chair when he looked up at them and said, "Fenton? They sent you here too?"
Danny looked at Dash as he solemnly said, "No Dash. We're here to find out what's going on?"
Dash stood up and desperately pleaded, "You gotta get us out of here! This place is the worst!"
Suddenly they heard Bertram's voice over an intercom as he said, "All patients report to Room C for another session."
Some of the other kids groaned in despair as they walked, while Dash ran and said, "No! Not again!"
Two spooky guards came and grabbed Dash and carried him away while Danny grabbed Sam and Jazz; the three of them were invisible as they watched the guards take Dash away.
When they were gone they turned visible and Danny said, "We'd better find Tucker and Dani fast."
Jazz looked at Danny and Sam as she said, "I think we should split up. We can cover more ground."
Sam agreed as she said, "I'll go with Danny."
Jazz pointed her left finger behind them before pointing her right thumb behind her as she said, "You two go that way and I'll go this way. If you find Tucker or Danielle, call me."
Danny nodded as he said, "Okay. Be careful."
They separated and started searching; Sam and Danny went down a hall and searched a few empty rooms.
Suddenly they heard banging and Tucker yelling, "Let me out of here! Give me back my PDA! Without technology I'm useless!"
Danny immediately grabbed Sam and flew as he turned them both intangible and phased them into the room where Tucker was trapped.
He kept banging when Danny and Sam phased in and turned solid, prompting Tucker to yell, "Guys!"
He went to them with a smile and Sam showed concern as she said, "Tucker, are you okay? You look you haven't been getting a lot of sleep."
Tucker was miserable as he said, "I haven't! They won't let us sleep! This isn't a mental health facility, it's a prison! All they do is insult us and tell us we're worthless before drawing some of our blood! It's worse than a hospital! They took my PDA and all my other tech and locked me alone in this room!"
Danny was concerned as he asked, "Have you seen Danielle?"
Tucker was troubled as he said, "They said they had something special for her, they locked her in a room nearby and I haven't seen her since."
Suddenly they heard Danielle scream and Danny fearfully yelled, "Dani!"
He took Sam's hand and looked at Tucker as he said, "We'll be back for you Tucker."
He flew and phased himself and Sam through the wall and into the room they heard the scream come from. They turned solid and gasped in shock as they saw Danielle in her human form, strapped to a hospital bed with glowing green restraints.
She looked at them and exclaimed, "Danny! Sam!"
Danny floated over her while Sam stood next to her and Danny said, "Don't worry Danielle, we'll have you out of here in no time."
She looked up at him as she desperately said, "Danny no! It's a trap!"
Suddenly Sam was blasted to the floor by a ghost ray, prompting Danny to shout, "Sam!"
She groaned as she got up and Danny looked to see Bertram standing in the doorway with an evil smile as his hands glowed green. Danny prepared to fight him but he was hit by another ghost ray as he screamed in pain and saw Spectra in her dark ghost form floating in the air.
She smiled evilly as she gloated, "How sweet. A family reunion."
She floated next to Bertram, who changed to reveal he was actually her assistant Bertrand as he smiled evilly.
Danny and Sam glared at them as Danny said, "Spectra, and Bertrand!"
Their eyes widened in realization as Danny said, "Bertram, Bertrand! Duh!"
Sam was annoyed as she said, "I hate when Jazz is right."
Spectra then fired ghost rays at both of them and knocked them out as she had a wicked smile on her face.
Commercial break
Danny woke up in a daze to find himself in his human form, strapped to a hospital bed, restrained by glowing green straps.
He looked up to see Spectra floating above him with an evil smile as she said, "I was wondering when you would wake up."
Danny glared at her as he said, "I should've guessed you'd be behind this! Where's Sam?!"
Spectra had a wicked smile as she put her hands together and said, "Oh don't worry about her. Your girlfriend's receiving some of our best therapy tactics. You on the other hand, are in for something much less pleasant."
Meanwhile, Jazz was searching through a hallway as she said, "Hello? Danielle? Tucker? Danny? Sam? Anyone?"
Jazz looked worried when she suddenly heard Tucker yell, "Danny?! Sam?! Anyone?!"
Jazz hurried to the door where she heard Tucker's voice coming from and tried to open it but quickly learned it was locked. She narrowed her eyes as she held a bazooka and blasted the door off the hinges while Tucker stepped back.
Jazz entered the room and Tucker happily said, "Jazz! Man am I glad to see you!"
She walked to him as she urgently said, "It's good to see you too, but have you seen Danny or Sam?"
Tucker spoke with concern as he said, "They came in here earlier but then they left and I heard them scream. I think they got caught."
Jazz narrowed her eyes as she seriously said, "Then we'd better go find them. Here."
She handed Tucker a small handheld blaster and he happily said, "Sweet! Technology we're together again!"
Suddenly they heard Danielle's voice scream, "Help!"
Jazz turned and showed fear as she yelled, "Danielle!"
In her room, Danielle was still trapped as Bertrand floated over her while two guards shocked her with devices.
Bertrand looked down at Danielle as he cruelly said, "Save your breath girl! There's no escape and no one is coming to save you! You're no hero, you're just a frightened little kid! You're not even a REAL person! You're a clone! A lab rat! No one cares about you!"
The door was kicked open as Jazz fiercely said, "That's where you're wrong!"
They all looked at her and Tucker as Danielle happily exclaimed, "Jazz!"
She aimed her bazooka and protectively yelled, "Get away from my sister!"
She blasted Bertrand and knocked him down, then the two guards glared at her as they revealed themselves to be ghosts. Their skin turned green, their eyes turned red, they had sharp teeth, and they had long sharp claws. Tucker and Jazz blasted at each of the two ghost guards and knocked them down, then Bertrand floated back up and phased out of the room when they tried to blast him. Jazz put her bazooka on her back and walked over to Danielle while she pulled out the glowing green samurai sword of energy.
She used it to cut Danielle free before deactivating it, then Danielle sat up and hugged her as she happily said, "I missed you so much! I thought I'd never see you again!"
Jazz hugged her back as she lovingly said, "I missed you too. Don't worry, I'll never let anything happen to you."
They pulled apart and Danielle climbed off the bed and smiled at Jazz and Tucker as she gratefully said, "Thanks Jazz. Thanks Tucker."
Tucker then asked, "Do you know where Danny and Sam are?"
She looked up at them as she urgently answered, "Spectra and Bertrand captured them!"
Meanwhile, Danny was still strapped to the hospital bed as he glared up at Spectra and said, "No wonder everyone here's so miserable! You're not helping them, you're torturing them to feed off their misery, aren't you?"
Spectra applauded sarcastically with a sinister smile as she explained, "Bravo. I enticed the kids with my new arcade to get the parents concerned so they'd send them to me in my little mental hospital."
Danny was surprised as he said, "You made that arcade?"
She smiled evilly as she gloated, "Yes! It was the perfect way to get their parents worried and increase their anxiety, thanks to my rigged games."
Danny glared at her and said, "All so you could get everyone here and make them miserable."
Spectra smiled evilly as she flew over to a large cabinet and opened it while she said, "Yes, but more than that. I also siphoned some of their DNA to make this for myself."
In the cabinet was a body that looked like Spectra in her human form as she sinisterly said, "Behold! My new body! More beautiful and powerful than ever! Created by your friends' DNA and fueled by their misery!"
Danny was shocked, then Spectra flew back to him with an evil smile as she said, "And the best part is it's stable! I didn't even need you this time! Not when I have the next best thing!"
Danny glared at her as he said, "What are you talking about?"
Spectra made a series of hand gestures as she smiled deviously and answered, "I needed your DNA to stabilize my new body, but I knew I'd never be able to get you. But then I realized that I could get your DNA from someone else."
Danny's eyes widened in shock and realization as he said, "Danielle!"
Spectra smiled evilly as she gloated, "Exactly! Being your clone, she shares your DNA, in fact hers works even better for my new body. I knew she would be easier to get, and her misery is even more delicious than yours!"
Danny glared at Spectra as he spitefully said, "So you took hers because you were too afraid to try your luck with me!"
Spectra pointed at Danny with a wicked smile as she said, "Oh but I knew that you would come to rescue her! So I used her as the bait to lure you right into my trap! And now that I have her DNA I don't need you!"
She smiled evilly as she pushed a button and made a series of machines and torture devices come out of the walls. Danny looked scared as he stared at the instruments of torture with his mouth agape in horror and terror.
Meanwhile Jazz and Tucker were still with Danielle in her room as Jazz said, "I can't believe Bertrand said those things to you."
Danielle was a bit shaken up as she said, "He's been saying stuff like that to me ever since I first got here."
Tucker nodded at Jazz as he said, "Yeah. They've been bagging on us nonstop since yesterday."
Suddenly they all heard Sam scream and they ran to help her; they ran into the hallway and hurried to a door, which Jazz blasted down with her bazooka. They saw Sam being held by a ghost guard and Tucker blasted him away from her and helped Sam off a bed.
She smiled gratefully at them before looking at the ghost guard while she said, "Thanks guys. This place is a madhouse! Where's Danny?"
Tucker held his palm out toward her as he said, "We were hoping you knew."
Sam looked at them as she urgently said, "We have to find him!"
Jazz started dialing her cellphone and held it to her ear while she said, "I'm calling for help. Mom, it's Jazz. We have a problem."
Back at Fenton Works, Jack and Maddie were listening to Jazz explain everything about their current situation.
Maddie showed a serious expression as she spoke into the phone and said, "Hold on Jazz! We're on our way!"
She hung up and Jack showed a serious expression as he exclaimed, "Those ghost punks have our kids! Danny, Jazz, Danielle are in trouble!"
Maddie pulled her mask over her face and narrowed her goggles as she said, "Not for long! I'll go some ghost hunting equipment, you get the RV ready! We'll go save our children and make those ghosts beg for their afterlives!"
She ran down to the basement as Jack watched her and smiled as he excitedly exclaimed, "Man that's hot!"
Back at the mental facility
Jazz hung up her phone and put it back in her pocket while Danielle curiously asked, "Well?"
Jazz turned from her to Tucker and Sam as she said, "They're on their way but I'm sure it will be a while before they get here. We need to free everyone and save Danny."
Tucker spoke honestly as he said, "Well that might be kinda hard for the four of us. There are a lot of those ghost guards."
Danielle smiled deviously as she said, "But there are a lot kids here too who want to get out."
They looked down at her with confused expressions as Jazz said, "Yeah, so?"
Danielle smiled eagerly as she clinched her fist and said, "So let's start a prison riot!"
The others understood as Sam smiled and pointed at Tucker and Jazz while she said, "I love the way you think! I'll go with her to save Danny, you two go free all the others."
They nodded while Danielle held her fists up and shouted, "I'm going ghost!"
She then changed to her ghost form and flew away while Sam ran after her and Tucker and Jazz ran in the opposite direction.
Danny stared up at Spectra in fear while she sadistically said, "And now my only dilemma is how to dispose of you."
Suddenly Bertrand phased into the room and floated by Spectra with displeasure as he said, "We have a problem. That other sister of his just freed the ghost girl."
Spectra was shocked and enraged as she said, "What?!"
Danny smiled with joy as he said, "Jazz!"
Spectra grunted in anger as she glared at Bertrand and pointed at Danny while she said, "You finish him! I need to go change!"
She flew to her new body and then phased through the wall while Bertrand floated over Danny and evilly said, "Well, looks like our time is up."
He took a sharp blade and prepared to finish Danny when Danielle phased in and angrily yelled, "Maybe yours is!"
She put her hands together and fired a ghost ray at Bertrand and blasted him away from Danny and into a wall. Danielle angrily flew at Bertrand while Sam ran in through the door and hurried over to Danny and released the restraints holding him down.
He smiled as he sat up and said, "Thanks Sam."
They hugged lovingly while Danielle kept fighting Bertram as she rammed him and they both phased out through a wall. Danny then changed to his ghost form and flew after them as he and Sam entered the hallway and saw Bertrand punch Danielle to the ground. She got back up and put her hands together before launching a ball of ecto energy at Bertrand, but he dodged it and it exploded against the wall behind him. Danielle took flight and Danny flew with her as they both flew at Bertrand, suddenly they were both hit by blasts of ecto-energy and knocked to the floor. They sat up and saw Spectra standing on the floor in her new body as she grinned evilly with her hands on her hips.
She kept grinning evilly as she snidely said, "Sorry Danielle, but I think you and your brother are in need of another session."
Danielle stood up and glared at Spectra as she said, "You're the one who needs help!"
Danielle flew at Spectra and tried to attack her but Spectra smiled evilly as threw a blast of purple energy at Danielle and sent her flying back. Danny flew up and caught Danielle, prompting her to smile at him and they both floated in the air and looked at Spectra and Bertrand, who were suddenly joined by almost all of the ghost guards.
Spectra smiled evilly as she said, "Now, I think it's time to resume your therapy."
Suddenly Jazz came in with her bazooka as she yelled, "I don't think so!"
She and Tucker came running down the hall toward the group with all of the other teens following them. Dash, Kwan, Paulina, Star, and all the others teens were equipped with Fenton Rods (those weapons they used in "Pirate Radio") as they yelled in fury.
Spectra was shocked as she said, "What?!"
Dash held his rod as he yelled, "We're canceling our therapy!"
Danny smiled back at all of them and then pointed at Spectra's guards as he yelled, "Get them!"
They charged forward while the ghost guards charged at them, and Sam held the glowing green Samurai energy sword Jazz used earlier. Dash fought two ghost guards as he shocked them with his rod and made them both scream in pain before running off. Paulina and Star used their agility to twirl their rods around before zapping a few ghost guards with them when they approached. Tucker fired his blaster and took out one ghost guard and Jazz fired her bazooka and hit three guards at once, lined up in a row. Sam swung her sword at a few ghost guards and made them scream in pain before running off to join the others.
Spectra looked vexed as she pointed at Danny and Danielle and said, "Bertrand, destroy them!"
Bertrand glared daggers as he said, "Gladly!"
He then morphed into his blobby ghost form and flew at Danny and Danielle and tried to attack them, only for them to separate.
Danielle glared at Bertrand as she said, "I'll take Bertrand, you handle Spectra!"
Danny nodded as he said, "Got it!"
He then flew at Spectra while she smiled evilly and held her hand out, shooting out a ray of purple energy. Danny dodged it and flew at Spectra as he punched her in the face and sent her flying, but she recovered as she floated in the air and glared at Danny as he came at her again.
Meanwhile Danielle fought Bertrand as she fiercely said, "I've been waiting to pay you back for all the therapy you gave me these past two days!"
as he tried to punch her, only for her to block his fist and kick him away, causing him to splatter against the wall. He reformed and glared his red eyes at Danielle before morphing into a green ghost gorilla and roaring as he pounded his chest.
He jumped on Danielle and grabbed her as he slammed her to the ground, then he gloated, "You think you can stop us?! You're just a plucky little sidekick!"
He raised his gorilla fists in the air and prepared to smash her, but Danielle turned intangible and phased down through the floor before he slammed his fists down. He looked for her when she back up through the floor, turned solid, and punched him in the face and knocked him against the wall.
She floated in the air and glared at Bertrand as she said, "Maybe so, but I'm still tough enough to beat you!"
Bertrand glared at her as he turned into a samurai, pulled out a sword, and jumped at Danielle, but she performed a roundhouse kick and knocked him away. He got back up but she swiped her left leg through the air and sent out a wave of ecto-energy that hit him and knocked him against the wall. Bertrand then changed into a giant monstrous ghost spider as he climbed on the wall and ceiling and moved toward Danielle. He tried to bite her with his fangs but she put her hands together and fired a blast of ecto-energy that sent him flying through the air as he cried in pain. Jazz then came and pulled out the Fenton Thermos as she sucked Bertrand into it while he screamed in terror.
Danielle waved at Jazz as she smiled gratefully and said, "Thanks Jazz."
She smiled as she waved back at Danielle, then Danielle turned and watched Danny continue to fight Spectra. He floated in front of her as he made two duplicates of himself and they all fired ghost rays at her, but she formed a purple force-field that blocked them. She dropped it and then swiped her hand threw the air and sent out a wave of purple energy that destroyed Danny's duplicates and knocked him back. Danny flew at her when she held her hand out and zapped him with purple energy and knocked him to the floor as he groaned in pain.
She looked down at him and smiled as she sadistically said, "When this is over I'll use my new power to destroy your little girlfriend. That should give you a delicious case of misery!"
Danny looked up at her and yelled, "No!"
He flew at her in a fit of rage but she fired a purple ghost ray and blasted him into a wall, causing him to cry in pain.
Danny lied on the floor and groaned when Spectra looked down at him and sadistically said, "There's nothing you can do!"
She prepared to finish him when Danielle flew at her and kicked her, knocking her into another wall above Danny.
Danielle floated in front of Spectra as she glared at her and shouted, "Stay away from my brother!"
She tried to punch her but Spectra blocked Danielle's fist, then Danielle performed a roundhouse kick against her.
Spectra grabbed Danielle's leg and smiled sadistically as she said, "Your brother? That's hilarious!"
Spectra whirled her around as she slammed her into the wall, then she grabbed Danielle and pinner her against the same wall.
She stared her in the face sadistically as she said, "Look at you! You think you're a hero? You think you're special? You're not even a person, you're just a clone, a cheap knockoff! You shouldn't even exist! No one cares for you!"
Suddenly Danny yelled, "That's not true!"
Danny blasted her with a ghost ray and knocked her away from Danielle, Spectra hit the floor but stood up and glared at Danny.
He floated next to Danielle and glared at Spectra and defensively said, "Danielle's my little sister! She's a Fenton! My family and I love her and we'll protect her from anything and anyone!"
Danielle smiled at Danny lovingly, and Spectra glowed purple for a second and cringed as she said, "Ugh! That's disgusting!"
Danielle smiled at Spectra as she said, "Hey, she doesn't like happiness."
Danny smiled eagerly as he got an idea and said, "Of course! Misery makes her stronger, so happiness must weaken her!"
Danielle smiled as she clinched her fists and said, "Well kicking butt always makes me happy!"
She and Danny both flew at Spectra with their fists out and they both rammed her in the face and started beating her up together. Danielle punched Spectra in the face, Danny shot a wave of ecto-energy from his leg at her, Danielle performed a sidekick to Spectra's stomach, and Danny punched her in the face. They both fired blasts of ecto-energy at Spectra together and sent her crashing into a wall, but Spectra got up and glared at them with glowing red eyes before flying at them again. Meanwhile all the other teens were still fighting all of the ghosts guards and they were winning as the guards continued to fall. Jazz, Sam, and Tucker defeated several guards with their weapons while all the others shocked the rest of the guards with their Fenton Rods.
Soon all the guards were defeated and Jazz happily cheered, "We did it!"
Dash happily raised his rod over his head as he said, "We won!"
All the other teens happily cheered for themselves while Danny and Danielle floated in front of Spectra with their fists clinched.
Spectra's body glowed purple as she screamed in pain and distress as she yelled, "No! Too much joy! I need misery!"
Danielle smiled victoriously at Spectra while she joked, "You need to chill out."
Danny smiled next to her as his eyes glowed blue and he shot a blue ray that froze Spectra in a huge chunk of ice. Jazz threw Danny the Fenton Thermos and he sucked her up into it and then put the lid back on in victory.
Danny smiled at Danielle as he proudly said, "Nice line Dani."
Danielle had a flattered smile as she said, "Thanks Danny."
The other teens kept cheering for themselves while Jazz, Tucker, and Sam came and joined Danny and Danielle.
Danielle floated in front of Danny and Jazz as she smiled with appreciation and said, "Danny, Jazz, thanks for coming to get me."
Jazz smiled proudly with her hand on her hip as she solemnly said, "We'd do anything for you Danielle."
Danny also smiled with pride as he said, "Yeah, you're our little sister. We'd never leave you in a time of need."
Suddenly they all heard a loud horn honk outside and they all turned to a wall and waited for something to happen. The Fenton Ghost Assault Vehicle then crashed threw the wall and Jack and Maddie got out of it with determined expressions. Jack had a large ghost hunting rifle while Maddie wore the Specter Deflector and held her special bo staff in her hands.
Maddie glared with her goggles as she held her bo behind her back and exclaimed, "Mama bear's here for her cubs!"
Jack pointed his rifle outward as he glared and fiercely demanded, "You let our kids go you ectoplasmic quacks!"
Their eyes widened in shock when they noticed that the fight was over as Tucker smiled and said, "Nice entrance Mr. and Mrs. F, but you're a little late."
Sam stood next to him as she smiled and said, "Yeah. Sorry. Fight's over."
Jack expressed disappointment as he said, "Aww."
Maddy glared at Jack with an annoyed expression as she said, "I told you we should've taken the freeway!"
Danielle happily flew to them as she shouted, "Mom! Dad!"
They both happily exclaimed, "Danielle!"
She flew and hugged Maddie but was zapped as she cried in pain and let go while saying, "Ow!"
Maddie looked down at her belt and pushed the button as she said, "Ooh, sorry honey. I should turn this off."
The Specter Deflector was deactivated and Danielle hugged her again and Jack hugged both of them as Danielle said, "I missed you both so much!"
Jack smiled lovingly as she said, "We missed you too sweetie."
Jazz and Danny both showed warm smiles as they watched, then Tucker spoke up and said, "That's nice. Now can we all go home now?"
Soon the police arrived and drove all the other teens home to their families while the Fentons went home together in the RV.
The next day, Danielle was comfortably laying on her bed as she said, "It's great to be home."
Jack, Maddie, Danny, and Jazz were also in her room as they smiled down at her while Jack said, "Danielle, we want to tell you how happy we are to have you back."
Maddie agreed as she sincerely said, "Yes, and we're sorry for sending you to that awful mental hospital in the first place."
Danielle smiled at them both as she happily said, "That's okay mom and dad. Just please don't do it again."
Jack smiled as he solemnly said, "Don't worry Danielle, we won't make the same mistake twice."
Jazz smiled as she sincerely said, "But for what it's worth, you were amazing last night in that mental hospital."
Danny smiled in agreement as he proudly said, "Yeah. You really came through."
Danielle showed a flattered smile as she said, "Thanks guys, but I'm just happy to be back with my family."
Danny held his right palm up as he happily said, "Yeah. We beat Spectra and you're back home safe and sound. I'd say everything worked out."
Maddie smiled and agreed as she happily said, "Yes it did Danny. Now who's hungry? I baked cookies."
Danielle immediately sat up as she happily exclaimed, "Cookies?! I love this family!"
She immediately ran downstairs while everyone watched her and laughed together happily while an iris closed in on Danny's face.
The End
Author's note: This episode was a nice callback to the episodes "My Brother's Keeper" and "Doctor's Disorders". I wanted to make an episode where Spectra appeared as the main villain and I thought this would be a good way to show how tough Danielle is compared to Danny. She's not as powerful as him but she could beat some of his enemies by herself, but some she could not beat without help from him or someone else. Please review.
