Archenemies Unite Part 2
"Wha-what's going on?" Danny asked.
Here he was, in the living room, with his parents, older sister, archenemy and two members of a government agency that hates his ghost half's guts.
And what he heard, he did not like.
"Danny… your girlfriend is a monster!" Maddie shouted in shock. "We're just glad this was caught."
Danny had to hide his reaction. He did his best not to shout when he heard his own mother call Gwen that.
"What do you mean?"
In that moment, Operative O held up his smartphone to Danny's face.
It was, to his horror, Gwen with her back turned, using her powers to go up to her bedroom window and out, with her body glowing pink.
"We found this footage and were looking for her. We have reason to believe she's of alien descent and, with Mayor Masters suggestion, we informed your family."
"How do you know this isn't faked?" He questioned.
"From a cell phone we found. By law, we have to keep the identity of the owner anonymous…" K answered. "Just know that this was checked and is not faked."
"But… how do you know she's a threat?" Danny questioned.
"Vladdie thinks if she wasn't, she'd be more public about who she is." Jack said as he patted Vlad in the back. "And V-Man is someone I trust! I voted for him after all…"
"Well… it pains me to admit…" Maddie groaned. "But Vlad has a point."
"Unless…" Vlad grinned at Danny. "You knew? And was hiding a few secrets from your parents?"
"Don't be ridiculous Vladdie…" Jack said with a smile. "My son wouldn't hide anything like that."
Danny wanted to say something, but knew he couldn't.
He didn't have Gwen's permission to tell her secret of Ben's.
So he kept quiet.
"No…" He lied.
"See?" Jack said.
"So, you deny this girl has powers?" K asked. "That means she was hiding it from you…"
"Let's get in touch with HQ." O says. "See what to do next…"
Both of them nod and leave out the door.
Jack waved to them.
"Nice seeing you guys again!"
As this went on, Danny went to Jazz and whispered to her.
"Where's Danielle?"
"Soon as we saw Vlad enter, she's been hiding upstairs…" Jazz whispered back. "What now?"
"I'll try and get that phone. I'll get in touch with Ben and Gwen to see if-"
"Oh, and Daniel?" Vlad said, getting Danny's attention.
He turned around in a gasp.
He and Jazz looked concerned, though it seems he didn't hear them.
"What?" He asked, agitated.
Vlad grinned. When he saw Jack and Maddie were observing the Guys in White were getting in their van, he spoke.
"If you can still reach your lovely Gwen and her cousin, Benjamin, tell them… Vilgax is coming."
That made Danny momentarily forget everything.
That name…
"How do you know that name?"
"We've met…" Vlad said in a faux affable tone. "And we share a lot in common… like hating teenagers…" He turned away. "Have a good night…"
Jazz took notice of the look on Danny's face.
"Danny? What did he mean? Who is Vilgax?" She asked, not recognizing that name.
"I'll tell you later…" He said. "I need to get that phone first…"
Inside the van, O and K were on the phone, on speaker.
"Any minute now…" O said.
"Hello?" Agent Alpha answered.
"Sir!" K said. "Danny Fenton claims he was unaware of her abilities. We believe he's hiding information to protect them…"
"He's no threat…" The Agent said.
They were unaware Danny Phantom was in the van, invisible, having overheard them.
That's what you think.
"Return to Bellwood tomorrow once you have the necessary weapons." Agent Alpha told them. "And the phone?"
"It's still with us… in the back."
Danny heard that and looked behind.
There, he saw the purple phone.
Must be it… it's not white.
He took it and phased out of the van.
By noon the next day, Vlad held a public announcement to all of Amity Park.
He approached his podium as every home in the city observed what he had to say.
"Citizens of Amity Park!" Vlad called out. "We have received word that an alien lifeform akin to those you've seen on the news from 5 years ago had infiltrated our precious city!" There was a collective gasp. "Yes, all I can say is that it looked like a human girl with red hair…" He emphasized those words to make it clear to Danny who he is talking about. "We will not say this girl's name, but I will say that she was seen with a few teenagers from Casper High…"
"Mayor Masters!" Shelly Makamoto called out. "Any word on the alien's plot?"
"None, though I'm sure it brings harm to anyone who knows that redhead. So, to ensure the safety of our teens, all families must stay quarantined until tomorrow morning!" He then smiles. "In fact…"
That's when a beam from the other side of two reached the sky, much to the surprise of the crowd.
"Look!"
"What is that?!"
"As of this moment, the Fentons have unleashed their city-wide ghost shield. With some upgrades, courtesy of yours truly, it will keep both spectral and extraterrestrial threats out. Enjoy your time together!"
As the crowds started bombarding him with questions, Vlad turned away and grinned.
This will keep Daniel from getting out to aid those brats… Now, to take that device for myself…
That day later, Danny found the plumber's badge Ben gave him.
"Let's hope this works…" He thought as he attempted to turn it on. "Haven't had to use it in a while, I've moved on to phone numbers with Gwen and she's not answering…"
That's when he got the message.
"Hello?" Ben could be heard.
"Ben! Perfect!" Danny said.
"Danny?"
"Yeah… is Gwen there too? You won't believe this, Vilgax is coming and-"
"We know." He heard Ben, Gwen and Kevin say.
There were in Kevin's car, having just been informed of the incident by Max Tennyson.
They were at the autoshop Kevin works at due to a plan to fight the evil conqueror.
There was a pause.
"Wait… Danny?" Gwen asked. "How do you know?"
"Because my archenemy, Vlad Plasmius, knows. Vilgax hired SixSix and now they're collaborating. Somehow, the Guys in White know about you, Gwen. Vlad's using them to convince my parents you're some kind of monster…"
"What?!" Gwen questioned, insulted. "He made them think that?!"
"He announced today that a "red haired girl" might have done something to all the teens at Casper High… so right now, all teenagers are on lockdown. There's a shield covering the entire city, so I can't get out…" Danny said.
Gwen and Kevin looked worried, but Ben shrugged.
"No worries… I'll take care of Vilgax." He said with overconfidence.
"Ben!" Gwen scolded.
"Alright… alright…" He said. "Maybe your friends can help you get out?"
"That would need for me to tell them why I'm getting out…"
Ben and Gwen shared a knowing look and nodded.
"It's okay, Danny." Gwen said. "Tell them…"
Danny's brow rose in surprise.
"Really? You want me to tell them your secret?"
"And mine too if it helps explain things…" Ben said.
"And… Kevin?"
Both Ben and Gwen looked to their older friend, who shrugged.
"Sure, why not? That Sam girl is kinda hot…" Ben and Gwen sent him a disapproving look for that. He shrugged innocently. "I'm allowed to think that!"
Gwen looked back to Danny.
"Ben and Kevin have an idea that could help us… if anything happens, we'll let you know…"
"Okay… be careful…" Danny said.
"No worries…" Ben began to gloat. "After all, I am the guy who just saved the universe."
Gwen and Kevin rolled their eyes.
"You mean you're one of a few who saved the universe…" Danny pointed out. "Need I remind you one of the people there, your cousin and my girlfriend, were there too, right"
"Well… yeah but…" Ben held his watch up. "I stabilized the DNA of the Highbreed!"
Danny rose a brow. That's when he remembered something.
"Speaking of stabilizing DNA, is that thing for Danielle ready?"
"I checked." Ben said. "In a few hours… all thanks to the world savior!"
Danny groaned in annoyance.
"You know… part of me wanted to hope Gwen was exaggerating… but you really are that obnoxious. I told her I hoped you and I don't get tricked into fighting each other. Right now, I wish we were, so it'd give me an excuse to punch you in the face…"
Both Gwen and Kevin chuckled at Danny's joke, while Ben scowled at it.
"You're lucky I'm rooting for you and Gwen…" Ben grumbled.
As this went on, Sam was in her room, chatting with Danny and Tucker.
"I can't believe this…" Sam began complaining.
"I can't believe it either…" Danny said. He sighed. "Guys, I need to talk with you guys… about Gwen…"
"She's the girl…" Sam said quickly before realizing that sounded too knowing before stuttering. "I mean… she is, right?"
"Yeah… that's why I need to speak with you guys." He said. "I need to get out… I'm gonna try and sneak you guys out… Lock your doors, say that you're turning in early."
"It's like 7?" Tucker pointed out.
"Just say you're that tired… I really need you guys." Danny said urgently.
"We're on it." Sam said with a nod.
"Thanks…" Danny said before logging off.
Once he was gone, it was just Sam and Tucker.
Sam had a big smile, something Tucker noticed.
"What's making you so… not you?" Tucker asked.
"The fact that Gwen's going to be exposed…" Sam said.
"Or… Danny knew all along and is going to help her…" Tucker pointed out.
"Don't be ridiculous, Tucker." Sam said. "He'd tell us if it were true…"
"Even if she asked him not to?" Tucker asked.
Sam shook her hand waved her hand dismissively.
"He wouldn't leave me-us! He wouldn't leave us out of the loop!" Sam said.
"But… what if you're wrong?" Tucker asked.
"I'M NOT WRONG!" Sam snapped. "I did what I had to in order to keep Danny safe!"
"While ruining Gwen's life if you're wrong…" Tucker said. "You should tell Danny about the phone…"
"I'm not wrong!" Sam insisted. "And I don't have to tell him anything!"
"Okay, how is NOT telling him supposed to help protect him?" Tucker said.
'Tucker, you don't understand..."
"You're right for once. I don't understand why you don't just TELL Danny what is up instead of doing this! Why you don't just tell him how you feel and over with..."
Sam scowled at him.
"I have no idea what you're talking about…"
"Oh, come on, Sam!" Tucker shouted. "It's obvious you're just jealous of ANY girl Danny likes!"
"I AM NOT!" She snapped.
"Just know this, Sam. If you are wrong and Danny asks, I am NOT bailing you out this time..." Tucker warned.
"I'm not..." Sam said stubbornly. "You'll see…"
With that, she disconnected.
She crossed her arms, confident this is all for the best.
Minutes after, Danny brought both of them to FentonWorks.
Once they were there, they brought them to the basement. They got to work.
"Okay… Tucker, you figure out how to time the shield shut down. Long enough for me to get out…"
"Got it!" Tucker said as he headed to the console.
"Can Sam use your cellphone to call me?" He asks. "Since she still can't find hers?"
"Sure… the cellphone means nothing to me." Tucker boasted as he handed it to Danny.
"Even though modern cellphones outdo PDA's…" She muttered.
"PDA'S WILL MAKE A COMEBACK!" Tucker insisted and was ignored.
"Sam…" Danny handed her the cellphone. "If my folks come, let me know."
"Got it." Sam said with a nod.
"Okay… I'll head upstairs in case… I… get something from Gwen." Danny said, not really sure how to tell them yet.
Sam rose a brow.
"From Gwen? Like… an e-mail?"
"Sort of…" Danny said. "I'll be back!"
He flew up and phased through the ceiling.
As he left, Sam saw Tucker shaking his head in disapproval at her, something she glared at.
"What?!" She questioned.
"If he's still talking to her… that must mean she's NOT the enemy…"
"Or she doesn't know yet!" Sam snapped.
Tucker groaned.
Danny sat at foot of his bed, waiting patiently for any message from the Plumber Badge. He stared at it in his hand, foot tapping, waiting.
"Danny?"
He gasped in shock before seeing it was his sister at the door.
"Jazz?"
"I'm going to keep an eye on Danielle in Op Center while Mom and Dad are watching TV in their room. To keep her company…" She said with her voice down to not alert them.
He nodded.
Once Jazz went, that's when Danny's Plumber Badge beeped. He answered it.
"Hello?"
That's when he heard her voice.
"Danny?"
"Gwen?" He questioned. "Sam and Tucker are helping with the shield. Soon as it's down I'll-"
"We have bad news…" She said.
Danny paused in concern.
"What kind of bad news…"
"Ben broke the Omnitrix…" He heard Kevin say flatly.
"IT WAS YOUR IDEA!" Ben argued.
"What?" Danny asked, unaware of events.
"They hacked the Omnitrix to give Ben a better shot at victory. Azmuth, the creator of the Omnitrix, is not happy. And neither is Kevin…" Gwen said.
"Why would Kevin be mad?"
"Long story… Right now, we're trying to take care of… something… I'll explain later. There's a reason we contacted you…" Gwen said before taking a breath. "Ben checked… the Omnitrix is too damaged to do Danielle's cure…"
Danny gasped in horror.
"You mean-"
"We can't help her…" Ben was heard saying apologetically. "I'd ask Azmuth but… he's not speaking with me…"
Danny groaned.
"Danny?" Gwen could be heard.
"I'll be there to help you guys soon!" He said. "I promise!"
"Okay… we're sorry…" Gwen said before the transmission ended.
As Danny put the badge down, he shook his head.
We lost Danielle's best shot… She'll melt if she uses her powers again…
He needed to reach Tucker and Sam to tell them to hurry.
"I gotta call!" He said urgently as he took the phone and dialed. "Come on… come- Oh, duh! I hit Sam's number, I-"
That's when he finally noticed it.
A ringtone.
He turned his head in the direction it came from. His dresser, specifically on top. It was coming from the phone he took from the Guys in White.
He cancelled the call just to see if it would stop. It did.
Please be a coincidence…
He dialed again as he walked to the dresser. It rang again.
He picked it up and saw it.
"No…" He whispered in shock.
This is Sam's phone…
A picture of him from early in their Freshman year as the icon Sam use's as his caller ID.
Suddenly, his brow furrowed, his mouth scowled and his eyes narrowed.
He felt betrayed.
"Okay…" Tucker said to Sam. "It looks like I can have it open in about a few minutes. I set the timer. When it's done, Danny has like 2 minutes to get out…" He explained.
Sam nodded. She pressed Danny's number on the phone.
"Okay… It looks like we gave a few minutes before we get out." She said. However, there was silence, something she found unsettling. "Danny?"
"Okay…" He said in a tone that seemed out of character for him.
She noticed it.
"Danny?"
"Come to the Op Center… try to avoid my parents…" He instructed.
"Uh… okay?" She asked. "Why not just come down and-"
The phone on the other side just cut off, suggesting Danny hung up.
Weird… Sam thought.
Easily tiptoeing to avoid Jack and Maddie watching television in their room, with the door open, Sam and Tucker headed to the stairway to the roof, and the Op Center.
"Weird…" Tucker spoke in a low enough voice. "Why does Danny want us to meet there?"
"Maybe whatever Gwen is requires the Fenton Jet?" Sam asked.
As they finally made it out the door, Tucker looked to his PDA.
"It should be ready in a few more minutes…"
"Perfect…" Sam said as they went up the ladder.
Once they made it to the doorway, Sam opened it up.
She and Tucker came in and saw Jazz and Danielle together, the latter in the pilot's seat.
To their surprise, both of them sent disapproving glares at Sam, much to her confusion.
What's with them? She thought with some annoyance.
"Where's Danny?" Sam asked.
"Right here…"
Both of them looked to see Danny walking towards them, stopping a few feet away.
"Danny? Why'd you-"
Sam's questioned ended when she heard a ringtone.
Her ringtone.
Wait… my phone?
She looked around and tried to find the source, only to see it was right in Jazz's hand.
Danny is calling with his own phone in one of his hands in the crossed arms.
"Something you guys want to tell me?" Danny asks.
"IT WAS HER!" Tucker shouted, pointing at Sam. "I never wanted to be a part of it! I tried to convince her it was a bad idea from the start!"
"Tucker!" Sam shouted. That's when she got defensive. "Okay... fine. I filmed Gwen using her powers." She smiled. "But still... it's thanks to me that you know she can't be trust. She was hiding these powers from you and all of us, so it makes sense that-"
"I ALREADY KNEW ABOUT HER POWERS!" Danny snapped.
Sam suddenly felt like the world turned against her.
"What...?"
"He said he already knew…" Jazz said with her arms crossed. "And so did we…"
Danielle nodded.
Immediately, Sam shook her head and became hostile.
"You knew?!" She barked. "Why didn't you tell us?!"
"Because… it was Gwen's secret, not mine!" He said. "I wanted to wait until she was sure she could trust you guys!"
"What exactly is the secret?" Tucker asked.
"That she inherited powers from her grandmother, who came from the planet Anodyne." Danny explained.
This made Sam and Tucker surprised.
"You mean she's part alien?" Sam asked.
"And Ben has a watch called the Omnitrix that turns him into all those aliens in Bellwood that save people and some from 5 years ago." Danny continued.
"Wait…" Tucker spoke up. "Those alien superhero sightings that ended in Bellwood… those were Ben?!"
"Yeah…" Danny said before his eyes darted back to Sam and glared at her. "I wanted their permission and was waiting to tell you guys."
"YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD US! I can't believe you hid this from us! We're your best friends! How could you keep this from us?!" Sam said in outrage.
She was angry and ready to call Danny out. To her surprise, Danny did not back down and returned her hostility.
"Gwen asked me to keep it between us and I wasn't going to abandon her trust when she said she wanted to let you all know on her own time..." Danny said with a serious tone.
Sam still didn't look pleased at all.
"Danny, we have been your best friends all our lives and we thought you were in danger..." Sam said.
"By we… she means her." Tucker said. Sam sent him a glare, but Tucker rose his hands in defense and walked over to join Jazz and Danielle. "I said I wouldn't help you if you turned out to be wrong! You've been spying on them since his birthday!"
"What?" Danny asked, not liking this.
"Heck, we followed them to the café!"
"That was you?!" Danny questioned angrily.
"Yeah… it was us. I wanted to go, heck, she made me pay for the train tickets to Bellwood when she took the photo." Tucker explained. "She kept thinking it was proof she was a threat to you!"
"Why did you think that? Why did you even spy on Gwen in the first place?!" Danny asked.
"I was trying to protect you!" Sam shouted.
"From what? My own girlfriend?" Danny questioned.
"I thought she was going to hurt you!" Sam insisted.
"Why would you think my own girlfriend would try to hurt me?" Danny demanded.
"Oh come on Danny… Gwen is-"
"What? A living breathing female? An attractive living breathing female that actually likes a guy like me? Why do you think it's impossible that she could sincerely like me for me?" Danny asked, actually feeling a little hurt by this.
"Uh… well…" Sam was finding herself afraid to even talk but pulled through. "It just didn't make sense to me! I mean, you're a year younger and she's a straight A student! And-"
"You think she's that shallow?" Danny asked. "Do you think every girl is that shallow?" He questioned.
"Uh… umm…" Sam found herself unable to even say anything.
Tucker and Jazz shook their heads, knowing the real reason she acts the way she does.
"Just tell him…" Tucker said.
Danny was confused.
"Tell me what?"
"Something she's been hiding for like the beginning of Freshman year…" Jazz said. "It was that obvious to everyone, even Gwen."
"It was something Vlad made fun of you for behind your back…" Danielle said.
Danny looked to Sam, suspicious.
"What are they talking about?"
Sam groaned, putting a hand on her head. Not only will she have to confess, but she's annoyed that, even attracting little more than two dozen girls, he fails to grasp the obvious.
"How could you?!" She asked.
Danny blinked in confusion.
"How could I what?"
"How could you pick her? How could you date her? ... and smile at her... and be happy with her and... and... WHY DO YOU SEEM HAPPIER WITH HER THAN YOU HAVE EVER BEEN WITH ME?! YOU TWO HAVE, LIKE, NOTHING IN COMMON!"
"You have little in common too…" Danielle pointed out.
"YOU SHUT UP!" Sam shouted.
"DO NOT TALK TO HER LIKE THAT!" Both Danny and Jazz went on the protective older sibling role for Danielle, making Sam flinch.
She then went back to Danny.
"Why Danny? How could you pick her when I am right here! I'VE ALWAYS BEEN RIGHT HERE!"
Danny was a bit stunned, but still angry.
"Are… are you saying-"
"ARE YOU STILL SO CLUELESS?! CAN YOU STILL NOT SEE MY FEELINGS?! THAT I WANTED YOU TO PICK ME?! THAT I WANTED US TO BE TOGETHER FOR A LONG TIME?! ARE YOU STILL SO DENSE?!" Sam shouted. "When I saw… her… I got angry. I wanted to find any excuse I can to hate her and prove to you that you two are wrong! Instead… it turns out she's NOT evil!"
"Isn't that a good thing?" Danny asked.
"NO! Because it means I was wrong!" Sam shouted. "I mean… she's pretty, nice and, oh yeah… AN ALIEN SUPERHERO!"
"Sam…" Danny was about to speak.
With an apologetic and longing tone, she finished.
"Danny… I'm sorry but I did it because… I want us to be together… I still do…"
Sam finally did it. She finally admitted her feelings.
Unfortunately for her, the look on Danny's face did not falter.
"So... because you were jealous and too afraid to tell me how you feel... you thought of spying on her and risk exposing a secret she wanted to keep from others?" Danny questioned harshly.
The normally tough as nails Sam felt like she was shrinking.
"You make that... sound terrible..." She said with a nervous smile.
"It IS terrible!" Danny shouted.
"I didn't mean for things to go this far!" Sam tried to defend herself. "I just wanted to... complicate things..."
"Well..." Danny pretending to be in thought. "The Guys in White know... Vlad knows... an alien bent on ruling the Universe is on his way and I can't help them because Vlad had my parents raise a shield around the entire town... oh, and Danielle lost her best chance at being stabilized from whatever Vlad had Skulker hit her with that will melt her alive because, thanks to the Guys in White, I couldn't get her to Ben in time... is THAT complicated enough?!"
Sam doesn't answer, instead, she stepped back in terror.
Danny has never been this angry with her. She's never done anything to even remotely set him off like this.
She didn't like it at all.
"But… I've told you how I feel about y-"
"You think that makes what you did okay?!" He questioned.
Sam flinched at his volume and looked away.
"No…" She whispered, feeling heartbroken.
"Uh… Danny?" Tucker spoke up weakly, getting this attention. "I'd like to point out that the shield should have an opening in a few seconds. You'll have 2 minutes to get out…"
Danny nodded. He turned his back to Sam and morphed. He only looked to Jazz and Danielle.
"I'll be back…" He said to them in a softer tone.
They nodded.
"Be careful…" They both went.
"Danny?" Sam asked.
However, he raised a hand up sharply, causing her to flinch.
He begins to hover. As he leaves, Danny looks over his shoulder at a guilty Sam.
"When I get back... you better not be here..."
He flew away, phasing through the walls.
Once he was gone, Sam turned around and saw all those left in the room where sending dirty looks at her.
"If I melt... it's your fault." Danielle said. "If you were just honest, or if you told Danny what you did, phone or no phone, we wouldn't be here..."
Sam did not like Danielle being so disrespectful, so she looked to Jazz.
"You're playing big sister for her too, you gonna let her disrespect me?"
"I'll let her know when I think she said something wrong." Jazz said with her arms crossed.
Sam flinched when she heard this.
True, she felt guilt but Sam has always been a stubborn, prideful person and she never likes admitting when she is wrong.
"I... I..." She shook her head and returned to scowling. "If Danny had just told me that Gwen had these powers at the start, I'd-"
"DON'T YOU DARE TRY TO PIN THE BLAME ON MY BROTHER!" Jazz screamed at her.
This was actually startling Sam with how mad she looks right now.
Both Tucker and Danielle were both floored by that.
"Whoa…" Tucker went. "I've never seen her like this…"
"Me neither… and I've spent 80% of my time here with her…" Danielle said. "Admittedly, you've known her longer but she's been super fun and cool to me…"
Jazz kept yelling at Sam, looking angrier than anyone has ever seen her.
"Unlike you, my brother was proving to Gwen that she could trust him by keeping her powers a secret!
"What about MY trust?!" Sam shouted.
"You have no right to talk about trust when you can't be trusted..." Danielle retorted. "He was going to tell you and Tucker once Gwen gave the okay."
Unfortunately, Sam is too stubborn for her own good.
"I'm just saying if I... if I had been told then-"
"SHUT UP! SAM! THIS WHOLE THING IS YOUR FAULT! YOUR ACTIONS RUINED GWEN'S RELATIONSHIP WITH DANNY AND ENDANGERED DANIELLE'S LIFE AND THE WHOLE WORLD TOO IF DANNY CAN'T MAKE IT IN TIME!"
Jazz's volume caused everyone in the room to recoil in shock.
"Wow… are we sure the alien conqueror is the scariest thing right now?" Tucker whispered to Danielle, who nodded.
"YOU NEVER TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING!" Jazz continued. "YOU CONVINCED HIM TO GO INTO THAT STUPID PORTAL!"
"Hey! He wanted to go in, I just encouraged him!" Sam insisted. "How is it bad I was there?! If it wasn't for me, we'd have been overrun by ghosts and Danielle there wou-"
"Don't use me to help your case!" Danielle snapped.
"What about the vegan menu?!" Jazz reminded.
Sam wanted to correct her. "It's Ultra-Recycl-"
"IT'S VEGAN!" Jazz shouted. "STOP GIVING IT MADE UP NAMES BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE MAINSTREAM TERMS! ALSO, EVEN AFTER YOU ANGERED A GHOST, YOU DIDN'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY! YOU LET A GORILLA OUT AND THREATENED TO SHOW EVERYONE A PICTURE OF TUCKER AND DANNY HUGGING TO KEEP THEM QUIET! YES, I KNOW!"
"For the record…" Tucker spoke up. "Danny and I just don't want to give people the wrong idea…"
Sam was about to speak up, but Jazz continued.
"Oh… and you have the GAUL to spy on Danny… TWICE! Considering you lost your temper when he spied on you with a boy you didn't even know for a week!"
Sam scowled.
"That's not the same thing!"
"Yeah… it is…" Tucker said.
Sam got mad.
"Whose side are-"
"Not yours right now…" Tucker said with arms crossed. "Gwen was always kinda cool, you just wanted to pick a fight. Honestly, her having powers was just an excuse for you to turn Danny against her despite it not being a good reason…"
Sam wanted to keep arguing, however, she couldn't think of anything.
"You know, I USED to hope that you and my brother would have gotten together, but now I'm glad that he did that service and met someone like Gwen! You don't deserve him!" Jazz said quickly.
"W… what?!" Sam asked in shock.
Jazz approached her in a motion that made her flinch in fear.
"Sam…" Jazz handed her the phone. "Take your phone… and get out!"
Sam took a moment to register that all three of them were glaring at her.
It just hit her that she's hurt her friends, including Danny.
She tried to maintain her Goth indifference as she turned around and headed for the exit.
Once she was outside, she made sure nobody saw as a tear went down her eye.
Danny took advantage of the shield being down and flew as fast as he has ever flown before.
He had to get Bellwood and find Gwen and fast.
Gwen... I'm coming... Danny thought as he kept flying.
And... it happened.
With thanks and help from Flower Princess11. Based on a similar moment in Danny and Kara, only Danny is much angrier.
Considering Sam's actions got the Guys in White involved, Vlad knowing about it all, and Vilgax has a new ally. Yeah, he's mad.
And now he's on his way, can he make it?
And what's Vlad up to? What will he do?
Part 3 coming soon... ish!
TheWhiteTitan: Fixed it.
Ultra Phantom: Next time is when Danny meets with Vilgax for the first time. We'll tackle a proper invasion later.
qazse: You mean Sam. And yeah. Also, I'll make sure Danny reigns everyone back to avoid Flanderization when we get to Omniverse's events.
61394: Oh no... no... no... no... Just similar events to show how dumb it was.
Invader Johnny: And now she's in that hole... with no one to try and pull her out.
Jebest4781: Something like that will happen.
Major Simi: It got worse. Now he's learned someone he's close to betrayed him.
Blue Marvel 0: This aren't turning out so good right now.
Dreams Come True 996: Red is my favorite color.
Flower princess11: She's sunk in boiling water.
DJ Rodriguez: I'm sure I'll find other outfits he'll drool over her for.
danifan3000: Vlad never learns. He'll keep getting himself neck deep...
Jiv: Soon. After a few more chapters of this.
BeConFuzzled Writer: Can't be more negative than this.
ChrisZilla18: Hmm... okay. I'll find a point where they throw down. But only AFTER Ben unlocks Whampire, his last alien. (This is the original canon Ben, after all)
Leonardo: Phantom Planet is later. As for Sam, it may take a while before he can trust her again.
Luiz4200: No comment.
Ultimatrix Bearer: Hmm... maybe. I am using Darkstar later.
rhinocaputo777: Here ya go!
