A/N: Hello, hello! So this happened. I don't know why this happened, but I have a couple of chapters sorta planned out for this. This version of Vlad Plasmius is kind of how he was in season 1, except with anger management problems. This is just one of your typical Vlad takes over the world kind of stories. And before you all ask, I don't know where Tucker went. He might have went to go get some food or something. Goodness, I don't know.

"How could you hold the world hostage like that Vladdie? And after all the good fortune you've had in your life…" Jack stated as his voice trailed in disbelief. This was his best friend, his true friend throughout the years, how could he do something like this?

"Good Fortune?" Vlad asked as he started to chuckle darkly, mulling over what Jack had just said. "You infected me with ghost DNA, steal the love of my life, and you call that good fortune?" Vlad asked, as his voice was calm. His hands were on his lap as he sat down in his ghost form in the ship.

Jack was quiet for a few seconds, thinking and pondering over what Vlad has just said, "I infected…" He trailed as he met the cold red eyes of Vlad Plasmius. "I infected you?" He asked, wide eyed.

"Yes. It was your bumbling that made me what I am today," Vlad stated with a smirk that grew on his face. He looked through the windshield and noticed the green asteroid in front of them. "But, I suppose I should be saying thank you…" Vlad trailed as he stood up, getting ready to turn the asteroid intangible.

Jack rose an eyebrow in confusion, "Thank me?" Jack asked as he stared wide eyed at his former friend.

"For without you, dear Jack, I am moments away from becoming ruler of the Earth," Vlad said with a grin on his face. He then noticed the look on Jack's face and the grin turned into a smirk. "Don't worry dear friend, I'll be sure to put you somewhere safe and quiet when this is all over." He then turned his back to Jack as he started to head towards the back of the space shuttle.

Jack stood up, appalled by his former friend's speech, "I-I never meant to hurt you…What happened was an accident!" Jack reasoned. "I'm your friend, Vladdie!" Jack argued as he stood in the middle of aisle. Vlad stopped walking and glanced slightly behind him. "I've always been your friend! I even voted for you!" Jack yelled as he put his hands in the air out of frustration.

Vlad turned around with a sinister smirk and a dark look in his eyes, "I'll remember that when I steal your family that you worked so hard for, and turn them into mine," he stated as he looked at Jack, daring him to say something.

"W-What are you talking about, Vladdie?" Jack stuttered, not believing what he had heard.

"When I take Maddie, Daniel, and Jasmine and turn them into my own family," Vlad stated, making his voice go slower as if telling this to a person who couldn't comprehend what he was saying.

Jack closed his eyes in remorse before opening them again, "Maddie I could understand," he said, his voice serious, "But what do you want with Jazz and Danny?"

Vlad chuckled as he placed his hands behind his back, "Jasmine is quite intelligent, is she not? She would do well with a father who showed her the care she needs. Not to mention she is the splitting image of her mother."

"Danny?" Jack asked, his heart sunk to his stomach. "What do you want with my son?"

Vlad glared at the man, "Jack, you are quite dense. He is not your son anymore, he will be mine-"

"What do you want with my son!" Jack yelled, his voice angry and frustrated.

Vlad stared at the man before smirking, "Why dear old friend, didn't you figure it out?" He asked with a slight tilt of his head.

Jack narrowed his eyes in confusion, "What are you talking about?"

Vlad chuckled darkly, "He's a hybrid, just like your dear old college pal," Vlad stated as he crossed his arms in front of his chest. "Although, he isn't a hybrid at this exact moment. I can't have that. As soon as I get back to Earth, I'll change him back to what he used to be."

"Don't you dare-!" Jack yelled as he took menacing steps towards Vlad and was about to grab the front of his shirt with his hands, when Vlad put up a pink shield in front of him, stopping the ghost hunter from his previous action.

"I can, and I most indisputably will," Vlad stated, the smirk never leaving his face. "Try and stop me," Vlad challenged as he turned intangible and appeared in outer space.

Jack closed his eyes before firing the jets on the space shuttle and headed his way to Earth. He had to warn his family of Vlad's plans…

Danny wanted to pull his hair out as he watched the monitor that showed the progress of Vlad turning the asteroid intangible. "Of course he was able to do it," the boy stated with disgust in his tone.

"I can't believe…After all this time that Vlad was…" Maddie started to ramble in the corner of the lab. She hadn't looked up at the screen once, as she was too much in shock.

"Mom?" Jazz asked cautiously, trying to carefully grasp her mother's attention. Maddie looked up with scrunched eyebrows.

"Yes, Jazz?" Maddie asked as she offered a small smile to her daughter. As she saw the concerned look on her daughters face, she shook her head, as if hoping to clear away her thoughts, as she placed her two hands on her daughter's shoulders. "I'm fine. Trust me."

Danny sighed as he sat down on a chair, "Now we all have to bow down to the almighty Vlad Plasmius," he mumbled under his breath as his form slumped in the chair in a defeated manner. He was half joking when he had said that, and half telling the truth.

"Danny, this isn't a joke," Sam said as she crossed her arms and glared down at her friend. "This is serious. Haven't you noticed that your dad left with the shuttle?" She asked as she glanced at the screen.

Danny's head shot towards the monitor and he gasped as he suddenly got up, "You're right…Where did he-?"

Danny was cut off when Jack came running down the stairs, out of breath. He saw his family in the basement still and let out a sigh of relief. "You're all still here. Vladdie will be here any minute! Also, I might have destroyed the space shuttle."

"What?" Maddie asked as she sat up from her chair. "What are you saying, Jack?" She asked as she started to walk towards her husband, but he grabbed her hand and pulled her closer to him in a gentle, yet protective, hug. "Honey?" Maddie questioned, "You're scaring me…"

Danny and Sam exchanged glances, and Jazz walked over to them, "What does dad mean by 'Vlad will be here any minute'?" Jazz asked as she got a Fenton blaster from the table.

"I need to get you guys to a safer-!" He began to yell and gather his family around in a group, but a dark voice interrupted him as it echoed hauntingly around the lab.

"Ah, Jack. I see you followed my challenge," the voice stated as Vlad Plasmius appeared in the lab. He glanced down at Jack since he was floating a few feet above him. His arms were at his side, as if he were ready to use them.

Danny growled as he narrowed his eyes at the man, but Sam stood in front of him, "You don't have ghost powers, remember?" She asked in a whisper.

Vlad then glanced over at Danny, and the boy felt a shiver run down his back. For the first time in Danny's life, he had felt powerless against the older halfa, and it unnerved him to no end. "Foolish decision on your part, Daniel. What did you think getting rid of your ghost powers would accomplish?" Vlad asked as he smirked.

Danny made a move to attack Vlad as his fists clenched to his sides in anger, but was held back by Sam and Jazz, who were holding him back by his shoulders. "I swear I'm gunna-!" Danny threatened but was cut off from the scared voice of Maddie.

"Ghost…Powers?" Maddie asked with wide eyes as she looked at her son. "Danny?" She asked in disbelief as she clutched Jack's jumpsuit tightly in confusion.

"It's true, Madds," Jack stated as he looked down at the ground. "The Fenton Portal didn't work at first…Not until Danny went into it and activated it…Giving him ghost powers."

Danny gave his dad a sorrowful look, "Dad, I-!" He began to explain, but was blasted in the chest by a pink ecto-blast. Danny was sent flying across the room and skidded on his back before he stopped in the middle of the lab. He hissed out in pain as he glared up at Vlad.

"He is not your father anymore, Daniel. Do not address him as such," Vlad stated with slight irritation in his voice. He glanced over at Jack, who had a glare on his face. "I would also appreciate you getting your hands off of my woman," Vlad said with a smirk, knowing that he had undoubtedly caused rage inside of his old friend.

Jack glared at Vlad, "I will not let you take my family," he said in a dark voice, and the rest of the people, aside from Vlad, felt a shiver run through their spine upon seeing the tone that Jack was using. Not once had the friendly and care free Jack Fenton ever use that tone with anyone.

Vlad crossed his arms in amusement, "Very well then," he stated as he snapped his fingers. Skulker and Fright Knight appeared in a red cloud by Plasmius' side. "Get Daniel, Jasmine, and Maddie. Leave Jack to me," he ordered as his two ghost minions nodded with an evil grin on their faces.

"The whelp is mine," Skulker stated as he landed on the lab with a loud thump as he started to advance to the human Danny. Danny gulped as he started to back pedal away from the ghost as his back collided with a cabinet. He scurried to his feet as he reached for whatever was placed on top of the cabinet. His hands rand over a Fenton Blaster as he grabbed it in his shaky hands and aimed it up at the ghost that was advancing towards him.

Fright Knight walked over to Jazz who was starting to shoot at the ghost with the Fenton Blaster that she had in her hands before hand. With each shot that she took, the Fright Knight deflected it with his Soul Shredder. Jazz took a step back with every step that he had taken. She eventually ended up with her back against the steel wall of the lab. "Back off, Knight of Fright!" She yelled as she pulled the trigger again, only for the gun to stop shooting.

The ghost started to chuckle slightly, "Looks like you're-!" He began to say, but was hit over the head with a broomstick. He turned around with a narrowed eyes, searching for the culprit that dared to hit him. His eyes landed on Sam who stood her ground and hand the broom raised in a position that was ready to be used again. "Human girl, you have quite the nerve to attack me," he stated as he started to advance towards her with a dark stride.

Sam smirked, eager to take up the challenge, "I have lots of nerves," she stated as she narrowed her eyes at the ghost.

Vlad approached Jack with folded arms, "You haven't managed to get much done. Of course, if you had decided to flee half across the country, I still would have found you," he said nonchalantly as he stopped a few feet away from him. Maddie was glaring at him and then found the courage to stand before him.

"Don't touch him," she scowled as she raised her fists in front of her with an angry glare on her face.

Vlad smirked at the woman whom he loved, "I wouldn't want you getting hurt, my dearest Maddie," he said as he waved his hand over the air, and a quick electric current coursed through the woman's body as her eyelids closed themselves and she fell slowly to the ground. Jack managed to catch her before she did fall to the ground.

"Vladdie, you don't need to do this!" Jack yelled, almost pleading at this point for his former friend to calm himself.

Vlad didn't make a notion to respond to his outburst as he had decided to simply ignore the man instead, "I won't repeat myself a third time. Hands off my woman," Vlad said in an expressionless tone. He charged a pink ecto-blast in his right hand and raised it and Jack before releasing it, blasting him furiously across the lab. He hit a wall as he slid down it, out of breath.

Danny began to start running out of Fenton blasts, which had barely fazed Skulker as he kept advancing at the boy. "Back off, Skulker! I don't even have ghost powers anymore!" Danny reasoned as he pulled the trigger again, only for nothing to come out of it.

"I don't listen to you, I follow Plasmius," Skulker stated as he brought up a net to capture him.

Danny's eyes went wide with fear of entrapment that he decided to switch to another tactic, "Where's your pride? Aren't you the Ghost Zone's Greatest Hunter?" Danny asked as he took a nervous step backwards. "You would capture defenseless prey?" Danny asked as he squeaked out.

"They're just orders, whelp, you don't understand," Skulker said as he shook his head and raised the net again.

Danny darted his eyes back and forth looking for another weapon he could use before ultimately deciding on throwing his weapon at Skulker, preferably in the face. Skulker hissed in pain as he rubbed his face, causing himself to lose sight of the boy as he ran around Skulker and grabbed a nearby Fenton Thermos from a nearby table. "I thought you were better than that? I thought you had honor?" Danny questioned as he narrowed his eyes and turned on the thermos. Skulker looked up at Danny with a pained expression as he was sucked into the blue light, trapping him in the cylindrical container. Danny capped it and looked around the room. He saw Sam being threatened with the Soul Shredder that the Fright Knight held in his hands. "Sam, catch!" Danny yelled as he tossed the containment device to his friend, and she jumped in the air and caught it.

"Not this time, Fright Knight!" Sam yelled as she pressed the button on the thermos, and it sucked him up as well. Except, unlike Skulker, he made a ghastly yell as he was trapped inside of the container. She smirked as she capped it. However, their victory was short lived when Jazz let out a shriek of pain before falling to the ground.

Danny and Sam quickly looked over at Jazz and noticed that she had red smoke steaming off her unconscious body. Danny glared at Plasmius who held no emotion on his face. "Why don't you go rule the world or something and leave my family alone!" Danny yelled as he narrowed his eyes at the hybrid.

"My family is my world, little badger," Plasmius responded as he blasted Sam back several feet. She hit her head against a cabinet and fell unconscious.

Danny growled as he ran at him with a fist raised, and he was about to strike Vlad, when Vlad caught his fist and brought it to the ground behind him, making Danny fall into a very uncomfortable position. "You're so weak, Daniel," Vlad stated, which made Danny struggle against Plasmius' hold against him. "If you had your ghost powers, you would at least manage to last a few minutes against me. Now?" He trailed as he started to chuckle darkly, "A few seconds at best," Vlad spat out as he released his hold on the boy and stood up to his full height. He walked over to the thermos and pressed the release button. His two minions flew out and stood beside him. "Get Jasmine and Maddie to my castle in Wisconsin," he ordered, and the ghosts wasted no time in following his demands as they quickly went over to the two unconscious girls and picked them up, before disappearing out of sight.

Danny scrambled to his feet as he tried to stop them, only to be restrained by Vlad as he tightly grabbed the boy's wrist. Danny flinched against the pain as he tried to wrestle out of his grip, only for the man's grip to tighten, making the boy yell out in pain. "Where are you taking them, Plasmius?" Danny growled out as he tried to still get out of his grip.

The boy felt a gloved finger under his chin as it gently forced him to look up at the man. Danny couldn't help but stop his struggles as he was paralyzed with fear. "You will join them shortly…" He trailed as he dropped his hand and dragged the boy over to where his beaten and bloodied father sat. He took in slow and rapid breaths as he eyes his son and former friend.

"D-Danny," Jack stuttered out. He had a swollen right eye and he was trying to give him a reassuring smile, though it was strained. "I-I…" He trailed as he tried to get up.

Danny didn't notice that Vlad and pulled out a hand gun out of his pocket with no emotion on his voice as he aimed it in the chest of his father until it was directly in his line of sight. Danny's eyes went wide and it seemed like time itself and slowed down. "Watch carefully, Daniel, as this will be the last time you see Jack," Vlad said slowly, letting the teen take in his words.

"N-No…" Danny said quietly still in shock as he struggled to get the gun out of Vlad's hand. "No! Stop!" Danny yelled as he struggled hysterically against Vlad's iron grip. Although, as much as he struggled, he didn't even make it an inch closer. "Vlad, stop!"

"This is for your own good," Vlad stated as he placed his finger on the trigger and aimed it directly at the man's heart.

Jack closed his eyes, awaiting his death, "I love you, son," Jack said in a whisper as tears started to run down his swollen cheeks.

"D-Dad!" Danny yelled, tears running down his cheeks. "I love you-!" He began to yell, but the felt something pink blast into him, and then he saw black.

As Danny fell to the ground, Vlad narrowed his eyes. He was not pleased. He sighed as he shook out his hand that was used to blast Daniel. It was still smoking, and he was taking out his misplaced aggression on the boy, he would need to use a more…Peaceful approach when they were living together. He looked up to see the eyes of his enemy staring back at him.

"Don't hurt my son, anymore, Vladdie. Please," Jack pleaded as he let out a painful breath.

Vlad eyed his enemy and tilted his head slightly with a fake grin on his face, "I don't negotiate with my targets…And even if I did, he isn't your son anymore. He is mine."

Jack closed his eyes tiredly, he had enough of trying to convince his former friend to turn good. "Did you want to take everything away from me, Vladdie?"

"At first," Vlad said as he lowered the gun to the ground. "But then I attained knowledge that Daniel was a hybrid, much like I was." Vlad said with a smirk. "Imagine my surprise when I saw him protecting you at the reunion!"

Jack opened his eyes and glared, "Let him be who he wants to be, Vlad. You can't force him to-!"

"I may do whatever I damn well please, Jack," Vlad deadpanned, not wasting his emotions on the oaf that Danny used to call his father. "I will turn him into a hybrid again, and I will force him to become the son I have always wanted."

Vlad started to walk away and halted when Skulker and Fright Knight appeared in the lab once again. "Take Daniel, and leave the oaf wherever you please," Vlad ordered, and Skulker walked over to Danny, who was still smoking red and had a giant burn mark on his back.

Skulker noticed his injury and picked him up in his arms carefully, "Did you have to attack him so-?"

"Are you questioning me, Skulker?" Vlad asked in a dark tone. He would not have his subordinates question him.

Skulker looked quickly at the ground, "Of course not, Plasmius," Skulker stated as he took to the skies. Leaving the lab and Amity Park along with it.

Fright Knight walked over to Jack, who was barely breathing, almost on the brink of death, "Any suggestions, my liege?" Fright Knight asked as he picked Jack up, almost as if he were nothing.

"Somewhere Daniel will not find him. Be creative for all I care," Plasmius stated as he took off to the skies, leaving his minion to carry out his job. Plasmius, after all, had a world to rule…

To be continued…
