Danny Phantom - Gender Bender (Discontinued)

Chapter Seventeen

Danny grunted and trashed about violently, trying to escape Plasmius' grasp. He may have chuckled smugly, but when Danny elbowed his rib cage, he let go and she blasted him halfway across the city with her ecto-ice beams. She looked down to her friends who were fighting off the blob.

"Go after him, Danny!" Tucker shouted up over the rumbles of the beast. "We'll deal with this guy." Danny gave her a thumbs up and jetted towards Plasmius. As she hurtled towards him, she split into four to divert his attention, and just as she came into punching range, she morphed back into one and hooked his left side with a fist full of green energy. When she saw the dumbfounded expression on his face she smirked and roared her ghostly wail. He fell to the ground, and Danny forced her cry into his being, making the bitumen beneath him crack and split.

I know you're powerful, so before we talk, I'll tire you out, Danny strategised. She sucked in a breath, but that brief pause was all Vlad needed. He zapped her with his pink ecto-blasts. Danny was launched backward and tumbled down the street. She noticed the civilians cowering to the side, their eyes filled with dread at the sight of Plasmius, a ghost the people of Sydney had been all too familiarised with. "Get out of here!" Danny instructed, disguising her voice with a ghoulish filter as she always did to protect her identity. The people ran away screaming and Danny sighed in relief.

Since her last major battle with Plasmius, she had really learned her lesson about not being negligent of civilians and infrastructure. An entire suburb block had been destroyed, and one young boy killed. Sure, if Plasmius hadn't have shown up planning to kill Danny then that fight wouldn't have happened. Still, she was Danny Phantom, and it was her obligated duty to protect and defend, and she would never let that happen again. Plasmius stalked up to her, throwing cars out of his way, showing off his impressive telekinesis skills. "Plasmius!" Danny bellowed, getting to her feet. "What do you want? Aside from turning me into your evil apprentice, killing my father and having Lannister love with my mum?" She chuckled and threw her head back, allowing the loose strands of snow-white hair to uncover her face.

But Vlad didn't stop storming up to her. He kept walking, his smug smirk still plastered on his face. Danny's stomach twitched, but she didn't let her facial expression fall. She stood her ground and lifted her chin until Vlad was towering over her. Plasmius stood there - seemingly larger than their last encounter - his scarlet eyes gorging into Phantom's. He continued to stand there, his grin never faltering, and his eyes never twitching. Danny wanted to beat him at this game - whatever it was - but her ghost sense was scratching in the back of her head and soon her smirk crawled into a snarl. She went to ice him, but he blasted her back another fifty meters. This time, she staggered to her feet, her mind frantic. What was his game? She threw ice spears at him, but he merely went intangible. Danny growled and charged at Vlad. He side-stepped and she fell to her knees. She tried swinging her leg around to trip him, but he skipped over it and zapped his enemy again. "What's the matter, Froot Loop? Toucan got your tongue?" Danny taunted from the ground. Oops.

Vlad's face darkened. His hand was as fast as lightening as she shot it to her throat. He clenched tight and lifted her off the ground like she was a doll. Ok, this is weird. He's really strong. She struggled to loosen his grasp, choking and gasping for air. Like, really strong.

"I am not a FROOT LOOP!" he barked. Danny scratched at his hand and arm, but she continued to grin stupidly.

"Ah, there's the Vladdy I love to beat," she choked. He grunted and seethed then threw her to the ground.

"I'm not here for you, Phantom."

Ok, he never calls me just 'Phantom'....

"But seeing as you are here, it makes everything seem more promising." Danny whacked him with a whip of energy and he yowled in pain. She took to the sky and zapped him again. He remained silent as he fought back, chasing her high into the night sky.
