Two years ago

Sam froze as she walked towards her usual lunch table. Danny and Valerie were sitting close to each other and kissing. Her fingers tightened on the lunch tray she was carrying. Tucker was sitting a table away quickly spotted her and jumped to his feet. But by the time he got near her, she had already taken off. Her tray splattering across the ground. Tucker tried to follow, but the Goth girl had vanished.


Present

Deep in a city known as Master City. A large man in a black trench coat walked down a deserted street. A large hat covered his head and blocked his face from view. Vlad Masters had created the city only three years ago, but it had only taken one year for parts of it to degrade. This part of town was dark and forbidding. Homeless filled the alleys and a dark shroud covered every building. The man walked down an alley, ignoring the random people he past. He stopped in front of a dirty door with a flashing red sign above it. "The Getaway!" The man knocked on the door and a low voice came from it.

"Password?" The man fished into his pocket, pulled out a twenty, and slipped it under the door. The sound of a dozen locks being undone could be heard and it opened slowly. A short fat man was holding the door open, "Welcome?" The man walked in as the fat one closed the door, "Any thing or anyone in particular?"

"I'll look first." The man in the coat was deep and strong. The fat one bowed and went back to his post. The man in the cat walked down a small hall and stepped into a large room. A small stage was at one side with a band playing. But the man didn't consider the three drugged up guys on stage musicians. A small bar was on the other side of the room. A tall man in a clean shirt manned it. Of the twenty or thirty people in the room, he was the only sober one. The rest were a verity of shape, age, and gender. Most of them either drunk or high. Theman in the coat walked to the bar and tossed a passed out woman from one of the stools.

"What can I get for you?" The bartender walked up and reached under the counter.

"You're not like the others."

"Only idiots mess themselves up while selling to these degenerates." He stood up and set a small glass in front of the man in the coat. "So will it be the drink, the pill, or do you need a date?"

"I heard of a girl that works here. Name is Broken Dove."

"Yes! I'm afraid you won't have any luck with that one. There are some other girls that are far more willing."

"My choice is made."

The bartender shrugged, "Waste of money. Not a bad singing voice thou. But it is your money. I'll just call her out."

The man in the coat shook his head, "Where!" He stood up.

The bartender gulped and pointed to a simple wooden door, "There!"

The man in the coat smashed the door opened with his black gloved fist. He stepped into a dark room. Several black lights proved some illumination. A few girls were lying past out on the floor. He spotted his quarry at the far end of the room. A girl with raven hair and violet eyes. She looked liked she hadn't slept in days. Her hair was messed up and her clothes disheveled. The man walked over and crouched down to get a better look at her, "Sam?" The girl nodded slowly. "Good! You will come with me."

"Trying to take my property?" A pale man in a purple suit and hat walked into the room. He had two very large men in black suits behind him. "You just stepped into a world of hurt."

The man in the coat laughed. He ripped the coat and hat off, "I am Skulker! The Ghost Zone's greatest hunter." His metal exoskeleton glowed under the black light. His arm opened up to reveal a pair of plasma blasters, "I have been hired to obtain this girl and bring her to my employer. You will not interfere."

"You think a trumped up Halloween costume will scare me. Get this bum!" The two large men stepped towards Skulker.

"Annoyance!" He fired his blasters and blasted the two men into the wall behind the man in the suit. Skulker retracted his blasters and picked Sam up and threw her over his shoulder, "Thank you!" He phased and flew out of the room. He appeared on the street a few blocks away. "Now to open a ghost portal." Seven people appeared from the shadows. Four guys and three girls. Each had pale skin and were dressed in dirty clothes. They had shrunken eyes that gleamed with unnatural light. Skulker's scanners turned towards them, "What manner of creatures are these?" He dropped Sam gently and activated his shoulder missile launchers. "Be gone!" The missiles fired at the group of creatures. They leapt into the air with incredible speed as the missiles exploded. Their eyes glowed as they fell towards the ghost hunter. Skulker readied his arm blasters and fired. He managed to knock four out of the air, but the other three landed on him. They pounded their fists into his armor with strength Skulker didn't expect. He turned intangible and they fell through him. Skulker jumped back and fired three ghost nets. Each captured one of the creatures. Skulker nodded, "There is more here than I was told." He walked over to Sam, "I will have to talk it over with my employer." As he reached down, he heard a familiar laugh. He turned around and a blue skinned ghost with white hair and sunglasses walked up. "Technus! Why are you here?"

"My master would hate for you to take away his revenge." Technus summoned his power staff. "Too bad for you that you depend on technology so much." He swung the staff and blue lightning shot from the staff and surged around Skulker. His armor suddenly shut down and fell to the street.

"Must send message!" Skulker jumped out of his armor and managed to launch a message missile. It flew past Technus and disappeared into a micro portal.

"Call all the help you want." Technus stomped on Skulker knocking him out.


Danny Fenton parked his car near a cliff that over looked Amity Park. He was ditching a dinner date with Valerie, but ever since Sam vanished almost two years ago, he had been more and more less interested in his relationship with the ghost hunter. He ran up to the top of the cliff and spotted a ghost standing near the edge. It was a tall ghost in a white suit. Danny stopped as he neared him, "So what do you have, Walker?"

The ghost warden turned towards him, "I received a message missile from Skulker." He pulled out a large brown envelope from his jacket, "It was addressed to you."

Danny took the envelope, "Thank you!"

The ghost nodded, "Keep you nose clean!" He vanished.

Danny sat down on a log with the envelope in hand. Shortly after Sam had vanished, he had hired Skulker to track her down. It had cost him almost a million dollars, but he was more than happy to take what he needed from one of Vlad's banks. He had stolen themoney, but he didn't care. He tore open the envelope and removed several photos and a piece of paper. The photos were of Sam. In each one she looked drained and lost. On the paper it said, Master City. Danny crushed the paper. Vlad had built the city as the foundation to a perfect city. Really it was one big ego trip. "I should have known!" Danny stood up, "I'm coming Sam!"


Danny quickly tossed a few changes of clothes into his backpack and headed for the Lab. He had forgone telling Tucker or his sister. This was purely personal. He walked past the attic entrance and stopped. He heard a strange sound. Danny pulled down the ladder door and climbed up. A large black chest was glowing with a strange white light. Danny slowly stepped up to it and the chest opened on its own. A book with a black metal cover was sitting at the bottom of the chest. Danny reached in and picked it up. The glowing stopped and strangely enough, the book was warm. He shrugged and tossed the book into his backpack. He gave the book no more thought and got into The Specter Speeder. He set the controls and took off.


Halfway to the city, Danny heard a wailing sound coming from his backpack. "What is going on?" He reached into his bag and pulled out the book. "Why did I bring you?" The book flashed with a bright light. Danny blinked a few times and rubbed his eyes. He tried to open the book, but it refused to open. Danny glanced out the window and his jaw dropped. The Specter Speeder was sitting in front of a half-destroyed castle. It was near sunset. He glanced at the small clock on the controls, "I've been traveling for two days." He checked the global positioning system, "I'm somewhere in Europe." He looked at the book he had dropped on the seat next to him, "What is this?" The book suddenly opened and on the first page a sentence appeared in red, go to the castle! "Why would I do that?" The book closed and started to glow red. Danny picked up the book, "Alright! I'll go!" Danny turned into Danny Phantom and flew to the castle. It was little more than a destroyed courtyard and foundation. The book suddenly got heavy and pulled Danny towards the middle of the foundation. Danny had to go intangible to prevent from being splattered. He fell into a large chamber and the book suddenly got light. The chamber was almost fifty feet high and one hundred feet long. A large red crystal covered the far wall. "This looks like a horror film set." The book flew from his grasp and landed on a bookstand in front of the crystal. It flipped open and a ghostly image of a woman appeared in front of it. She had long black hair that almost touched the floor. Dressed in a red and black dress, she had piercing blue eyes. Danny landed a few feet away from her, "Who are you?"

"I am Cassandra Tepes! I was Count Vlad Tepes' daughter."

Danny held back a laugh, "Dracula! You're kidding!"

Cassandra waved her hand, an image of Vlad Masters appeared. The old man was leaning over a large book with torches all around him. There was no sound, but it was easy to tell he was chanting. "Over five hundred years ago, Count Dracula was sealed away forever by the noble sacrifice of The Belmont Clan. With his dark taint gone, vampires vanished for the world until this one started to break the seal."

"He is trying to free a vampire."

"No! He is slowly absorbing his power." The image changed to a bird's eye view of his city. "He built this city precisely to free and steal the powers for his own desires. The city is already populated by a large number of vampires he has created."

"What about Sam?" Danny started to move closer.

The woman sighed and the image changed to Sam being sat down on a well-worn couch. A man with dirty clothes on was preparing a needle with a whitish liquid in it. "Vlad is slowly poisoning her. He plans on capturing you after she dies in order to show you exactly what he did to her when it is too late."

"I have to save her."

"You do not have the power nor the skill to fight vampires and the other demons he has created. I have brought you here in order for you to obtain what you need. Before I died I placed a small portion of my soul into this book, just incase my father's powers reemerged."

Danny clenched his fists as he watched the man starting to give her the injection, "I have to save her first."

The image vanished, "Go now and you will die."

"What do you expect me to do?"

The woman smiled, "You have a hope." She turned towards the crystal, "There is one who can save her before her fate is sealed." She held up her hand towards the crystal. "Awaken! Son of Belmont!" A white light shot from her hand and entered the crystal. The room shook as the crystal cracked and exploded. Shards shot around the room as a man dropped to the floor. He had long white hair and grayish skin. He was dressed in black and red armor and a white chain was wrapped around his right arm. He was knelling and his eyes were closed. "Before you is the last remains of The Belmont line. The son of Richter Belmont. As Dracula was sealed, half of his soul was exchanged with a vampire's in order to complete the seal." The man's eyes opened and glowed red. He slowly stood up and glared at Danny.

Danny gulped, "My hope is a vampire that hunts vampires. Why don't I feel that much better?"
