Hello everybody! I just remembered that since this is AU, I have to give you reasons why this is AU. I know it might be pretty obvious, but I wanted to tell you the details. So, if you are confused, check chapter one- that's where I rewrote my author's note. Sorry!

I also want to throw out a big thanks to my editorial muse RandomSharkAttack(does not have an account)!

Chapter 2: Falling Through Thin Ice
Jack's POV
I pulled into the driveway, just thinking: 'Please don't make it too late.'
Third Person
"DAD!/JACK!" the Fenton Family screamed periodically, and then ran over to the large man. But, their family hug was short-lived, because Jack lightly pushed them off.
"Jack, what is it?" Maddie asked.
Jack then pulled out an ecto weapon and pointed it at Danny. He then grabbed Maddie and Jazz and pulled them behind him. A tear started to form in the large man's when he said, "Maddie, we have an entity in our home."
"Jack, what? That's our son! Not a ghost!" Maddie said.
"That's where you're wrong Madds. He's a halfa, just like Vlad. It all became clear to me. That's why he is always disappearing, and that's why all of our detectors worked on him! So, sp-spook," Jack choked out, "I'll give you a second to admit yourself and leave our-MY family before I make you leave."
"I-" Danny gulped, he had a petrified look on his face, and his eyes were sullen filled.
"Danny?" Maddie choked, "Is this true?"
"Leave him alone!" Jazz yelled running to her brother's aid. She swung out from behind her father and dived in front of her little brother. "He's good! Not evil! Put down that ecto weapon!"
"Jazz! Get away from that, that thing!" Jack yelled.
"Jack, how do you know?" Maddie said.
"Figured it out. All the pieces fit. Plus, Vlad said-" Jack was about to finish, but he was interrupted by a deep voice.
"Utter chaos, I love it." said a voice from above.
"Vlad!" three of the four Fentons yelled, leaving Danny to yell:
"Plasmius!"
The three other Fentons looked at Danny. Jazz's was out of concern, Maddie's was out of befuddlement, and Jack's was a heart-splitting stare. Danny just closed his eyes for a long blink.
" Haha! I love it! Jack hates you, Maddie is perplexed, and Jazz is going against your parents for your safety." Vlad said, "How does it feel Daniel? Being hated by all who love you?"
Danny growled, "They will always love me and accept me."
"Danny?" Maddie muttered. Jack just continued to stare knives at Danny.
"Does that look, of sound like acceptation! Ha! Your family does not love you. Whether you like it or not, your parents hate your very existence! Haha!" Vlad mocked.
Danny just looked down, realizing that the older halfa was right. "Sam, Tucker, and I will always accept you! No matter what!" Jazz yelled, after seeing the look of misery on Danny's face.
"Jazz?" Maddie muttered.
"That may be true child, but what will you do with out your parents? What are you, fourteen? You wouldn't last a day, Daniel, a day! Even with those nifty little powers of yours. You see, Daniel, I am willing to give you a chance, before I force you, to resent your idiot father, and join me! You too, my beautiful Maddie. You can join me now, or you will be forced to be my new queen. What do you say?" Vlad said cockily.
"NEVER, I WILL NEVER JOIN YOU!" Maddie yelled.
"Looks like my new queen has made her choice, but what do you say, Daniel?" Vlad interrogated.
Danny looked straight at Vlad and said, "I will NEVER, NEVER join you! My parents might renounce me, but I am a long ways away from renouncing them. You fruit loop, you don't have a clue how much I hate you."
Danny's parents, even Jack, looked at him in disbelief, not sure where such a strong speech had come from.
"I could make you more powerful then you know, Daniel, if you join me, we could rule side by side. You have no clue how much power you could have. How much I could teach you. If you join me, I could give you a more promising future than your IDIOT father could EVER give you!" Vlad persuaded.
Danny's eyes then glowed a vibrant green, which did not go unnoticed by his parents, he then screamed, "YOU FRUIT LOOP, I SAID NO! AND STOP CALLING MY DAD AN IDOIT! HE IS A BETTER MAN THAN YOU COULD EVER BE! I AM MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU! MY POWERS HAVE DEVOPLED FASTER THAN YOURS! YOU ARE SCARED OF ME, AND YOU KNOW IT!"
"Fool. Both of you are fools, you will both join me, and since you didn't come willingly, I will have to force you." Vlad yelled. He then shot an ecto blast at the Fentons, three out of four of them were petrified by the blast, but Danny, thinking quick, put an ecto shield around the four of them.
Danny then shot an ecto blast of his own at Vlad. Vlad then shot back at Danny, and Danny then dodged, still in human form. The two continued this cycle for a while. But, then Vlad, said something unexpectedly, "Afraid of showing them your ghost form? Well, if you won't I will, Danny is…" Vlad wasn't able to finish his sentence, due to the fact that Danny shot him with another ecto blast.
"No! If anyone will tell them, I will! I'm sorry, mom, dad. But, I am…" he began to say while changing into his ghost form, "Danny Phantom." He then jumped into the air, and began shooting at Vlad.
Both parents gasped. They both stared wide eyed at their 'son'. "Ha! Finally exposed!" Vlad screamed.
"Yeah, which means, I can do this. STAY AWAY FROM MY FAMILY-!" Danny said, releasing his ghostly wail. The blast of pure power hit Vlad square on, and threw him up against the wall. He was almost instantly reverted back to Masters. Danny kept the blast up for about five more seconds. He then landed on the ground, but didn't revert back to Fenton.*
Jazz then ran over to Danny and asked, "Danny, Danny! Are you okay?"
Danny breathed a few heavy breaths, and then said, "I'm okay. Are you?"
"I'm fine Danny. I'm-" Jazz was about to say until she was interrupted.
"Jazz! Get away from that- that thing!" Maddie yelled.
"Back off of our daughter, spook!" Jack yelled.
"Danny is not a thing! Or a spook! He's still your son and my little brother! And, if you didn't bother to notice, he just saved us!" Jazz screamed, helping Danny up, still in ghost form, he stood in front of his parents, next to his sister.
"JAZZMINE ELIZABETH FENTON!" Maddie yelled at her daughter, "You have let yourself trust a ghost-no-a-halfa! Halfas might be a bit different, but all in all, anything ghost like is evil! You must start to understand that! He is no longer your brother! HE'S A HALFA!" Maddie screamed.
"YEAH!" Jack screamed, still pointing an ecto gun at Danny, he then continued, "Get over here!"
When Jazz wouldn't budge, Jack swept in from out of no where and grabbed Jazz, pulling her behind him.
"Now what will you do, spook, no place to run, and you can't hide here anymore, so I will give a second to get out of here, before I shoot!" Jack yelled at Danny.
Danny just stared at his dad with his electric green eyes and said, "What! Dad! I'm still Danny! Halfas are different from ghosts! I'm still Danny!"
"Wrong answer." Jack said, and then began to charge the weapon.
"No, Dad!" Danny said, and then implemented his last defense- changing back into human form. Both of his parents' mouths gaped and Jack put down the gun, for a second. Only a second.
"Nice try sp-spook. I know you are still Phantom. You might be able to look like my boy, but you are nothing like him!" Jack yelled, and then pointed the ecto gun back at Danny's chest.
"No, Da-" Danny began to say before being interrupted.
"I'm am not your dad!" Jack yelled heartlessly.
"If I'm not your son, then how would I know that MOM and I, DANNY, use to drink hot chocolate and look through photo albums when I had a bad dream, or got bullied (Photographs by pearl84- awesome DannyxMaddie fic). And if I'm not your son, then how would I know that the reason Jazz still has Bearbert is because when we were little, I would always creep into her bedroom and scare her in the middle of the night. And, DAD if I was not your son, then how would I know that you and I use to go up north to Canada to fish, until I was in sixth grade, and the only reason we stopped is because the last time we went, the whole cabin was infested by bears. How can you explain that, unless I was the one and only Danny Fenton! The only reason I am the way I am, is because of the portal! I got zapped! I still am Danny!" the young halfa pleaded.
Both Fenton parents just sat there and stared at their son for a second, before Jack said, with a tear in his eye, "Don't ever pretend to be my son again. You are DEAD TO ME. You might have all of Danny's memories, but you are nothing like my Danny."
"You stole our son. You putrid protoplasm. You are never welcome here, EVER." Maddie said gravely.
Danny just looked from parent to parent. Tears started to form in his icy blue eyes. The old, but now broken family just stared at each other.
Little did the family know, but while they were 'working things out', Vlad began to stir. He opened his eyes and looked at the torn apart family. He quietly got up, and crept over to the
Plasmius Thermos,** that he had brought with. He stood up, and without the quarreling families knowledge, strode over to sucking distance.
While the family was staring at each other, Vlad said, "Forget about me." he then pointed the thermos at Danny and sucked him up***.
"Ahhhh!" Danny screamed. Vlad then transformed into Plasmius.
"I told you that you would join me. Now you know what I mean by force." Vlad said, and then threw a small electric purple boxes- one at Maddie, and one at Jack. The boxes expanded and turned into little jails. He then teleported behind Jazz and knocked her out, she fell to the floor unconscious.
Jack and Maddie looked up at Vlad with hurt eyes, but Vlad just laughed at them. He then clipped the thermos to his belt, and said, "Now you will know what it feels like to be in a containment device, haha!" The fruit loop then took something off his belt that looked like a floppy disk, but with two prongs sticking off the end and a few buttons on top. He then pressed a button or two and it sucked up both Jack and Maddie, cage and all. He then flew off into the distance.
* Tell me if I'm wrong, but I am pretty sure there is an episode towards the end, that Danny does not revert back to human form.
* * Valerie got all of her equipment from Vlad, and if I remember Shades Of Grey correctly, she has a thermos-it is red and white. So, that is where the 'Plasmius Thermos' came from.
*** I just needed him to be sucked in as a human- it's the only way it would work.
Thank you all for reading chapter two of this little production! I will probably have chapter three up the end of this weekend, or next weekend. I don't know, it all depends on how lazy I am feeling. roflwewwsbbccam (check my profile for meaning)
