Yeah, so this is an update. For real this time.

I've been in Germany for the past two weeks, and now I'm in the babysitting service for a whole month. Then i have to volunteer in August for a vacation religion school, but that will only be in the mornings.

Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom. I only own the Original Ghosts and the plot.

"Dude, Clockwork said that Menshan would be the easiest?"

Danny, Sam and Tucker reached the area where Menshan's door was supposed to be, but it was a nightmare. Hundreds, if not thousands, of doors and portals swirled about, making it confusing to find any one specific door, let alone find one that's constantly changing.

"I remember this." Danny turned around, scanning as far as he could see. "Remember when my mom spotted something on the radar that looked like a massive ecto-hole?"

Tucker let go of Danny's hold and landed on a floating rock. "Yeah. Something like a portal gone haywire?" Tucker took out his PDA and video-recorded everything.

Danny nodded. "I was outside the Specter Speeder that time. I was trying to look for the massive portal, but all I saw were a bunch of green dots." Danny furled his eyebrows. "I think I saw this place, too, when I was rounding up ghosts, but I wasn't really paying attention."

Sam hugged Danny for dear life as a door with bright, floral colors approached her. She could've sworn she heard, "Join us," from it. "I think I'd prefer the ecto-hole. This place is creepy."

Danny smiled when Sam hugged him. Now that they officially call themselves "love-birds" after all these years, Danny wasn't shy anymore about showing his affection. "Okay, guys. We need to find this Menshan guy before any of these doors decide to let out a few ghosts."

Maddie Fenton was working on her latest project: a device that can recreate a ghost's natural abilities. Maddie held up the arm brace, looking for any deformities or missing wires. "I think this is it, Jack."

"Alright, Mads!" Jack Fenton looked up from a project of his own. "But how are we gonna test it? Danny is in school." Jack pumped some ectoplasm into a chamber, where some regular items were sitting around. "Let's go get him!"

"Now Jack," Maddie placed the brace down and headed toward the opposite side of the Fenton Works lab. "Danny hasn't been to his school for a year. At least give him one or two weeks alone. Besides, we promised the school that we would take care of the ghost hunting, so there will be plenty of ghosts to test these things on." Then she kissed her husband on the cheek.

Jack pulled a lever while saying, "Yeah… it's only fair. But we've just got back, and I haven't even tried any of our old inventions on him yet!"

Maddie giggled and went back to her brace. "What should we call this, Jack?"

Before Jack could answer, the phone rang by him. He took the phone off of the receiver and said, "This is Fenton Works! Jack Fenton speaking." As Jack listened, he became worried. "Are you sure?" He groaned. "Yes… yes, thank you."

Maddie ran towards Jack. "What was it?"

Jack puffed and folded his arms. "Danny is ghost hunting without US!"

"Okay, now find a door that looks like a well!"

Danny flew around, holding the Infi-Map in one hand, lifting Sam or Tucker in the other, and trying to find out why the Infi-Map won't lead them to the exact door.

Sam landed on a rock above Danny. She spotted a well to her left, a geyser to her right, and another well spinning clockwise. "BE MORE SPECIFIC!" She shouted.

Tucker jumped for Danny. "Elevator going up!" He used a floating door as an extra boost to just reach Danny's hand.

Danny caught Tucker's arm and threw him towards other floating rocks. "It changed again! Now it's a… giant teddy bear? But it has a rip down the middle… I guess that's the door."

Tucker spun around. "There are two teddy bears on this level!"

"Same here, Danny! What else does it have?"

"One of the ears is shorter than the other!" Danny flew towards them, getting ready before the lair changed again.

"Nope! Sam, how 'bout you?" Tucker hopped up the boulders and platforms, trying to reach Sam.

"Both of mine have one short ear. They look exactly the same." Sam grabbed Tucker as he reached her, and Danny stood by them.

Danny looked at the map. The portal didn't change yet. "Okay guys…. We found it…. Now, we just need to wait and see which one changes. Then we know that that one is Menshan's. Easy, right?"

"In honor of the world wide hero, Danny Phantom, I now open the first official Ghostology and Ectology college lab and library."

Jazz Fenton gave a huge sigh of relief. She was now in her first year of college, and was given the honors of hosting this event. She has waited long for the day that she would make a difference in life, whether it was her smarts or ghost experience. She found a way to do a little of both.

Professors from around the world congratulated her, asking how long it took to gather most of her resources and for any personal incidents. Some ghost hunters and researchers thanked her for publicizing their works through the facility. None of it would have been accomplished if Danny had not saved the world.

Her cell-phone rang. "Thank you all. Excuse me for a moment." She checked the caller ID. It was listed as M. Fenton. She pressed the button and spoke, "Hi, mom! … No, Danny didn't come this way… Are you serious? … I'll try to help. … Okay… Love you, too. Thanks."

She clicked the phone off. "I'm sorry for the delay, professors, but I have some business to attend to. Thank you for your time."

Jazz rushed to her dorm. "Can't Danny just stay put for one day? This is my second week of school, and I've been working on preparing that lab for a year now!"

In her room, she fished through a few of her drawers. Most of them had ghost equipment in them. Finally, she found what she was looking for. "You'd think he'd learn his lesson after being hit by this so many times."

She took a pad, scribbled down something, and then attached it to the Fenton Booooo-merang. "Find Danny. And hit him REALLY hard this time." As the tracker left her hand, Jazz's expression softened. "Danny… please be okay."

"Why is it taking it so long to change???"

The three of them stared at the two teddy bears. They have been staring at them for nearly ten minutes now. Danny sighed. "Should we just try to wing it and open one?"

Tucker waved his hands, "no." "Are you kidding? Sure, the bears are cute now, but what if we went through the wrong one and find, like, a million bear ghosts snarling at us? Plus, we would miss the other portal and it would probably change by the time we got out."

Sam heaved a sigh. "Well… at least these bears are not alive. Danny…. are you sure one of these are it?"

Finally taking his eyes off of the portals, he checked the map again. He scrunched his eyes. The door was now an elevator door. Danny looked up, and sure enough, one of them was now an elevator. "You guys, there it is!"

"Okay, well, which one is it then?"

Sam stood up. "Yeah. How can you tell?"

Danny flew up to the new door and held it. "It's this one! Didn't you see it change?"

Tucker jumped to grab Danny's hand. "It's still a bear, dude. It hasn't changed at all."

Sam in turn grabbed Tucker's arm. If this one is truly it, how come you figured it out before us?"

Danny looked at the door. "Well, I looked down at the map and…" Suddenly, everything started to fall into place. "…Wait… if Menshan wanted to keep his lair hidden, that is why he has a changing door. If someone wanted to find that door… it would always… change… when someone looked away! It changed for me, because I looked away!"

Sam and Tucker weren't sure if they got it straight… but, ghosts are ghosts, and human logic isn't always helpful. Tucker shrugged. "Okay, then this door is it. Let's get inside already, before I let go of Sam!"

For the 385,442nd time, he sighed. "It's so boring out here!"

Vlad Plasmius. A.K.A. Vlad Masters. A.K.A. The Most Hated Guy on Earth. A.K.A. The Seriously Crazed Up Fruit Loop. He has been wondering aimlessly throughout the universe, searching for anything to do, anywhere to stay, and anywhere where there's no asteroids to ram into.

He had so much time, that he found out that his helmet ran out of air months ago. He also found out that there were certain wormholes that took him to different galaxies. Though, Vlad lost track of time and space what seemed like ages ago.

"There's nothing to do out here! I've been talking to myself forever!"

Then, he saw something… it was glowing, just like ectoplasm. "A ghost… other than me!" He smiled, and boy what a smile it was. "HEY! EXCUSE ME!" He flew in complete joy, something he hadn't experienced since… well… ever.

Then, just like that, the form disappeared. Like a mirage or an illusion, it just wasn't there anymore.

Vlad was now VERY disappointed. Kicking a nearby rock, he used up the energy he built from his excitement. "Do other ghosts know about me as well? Does whatever happen on Earth affect the universe?"

"Do all Earth Ghosts rant out loud?"

Vlad stopped. He looked everywhere for the voice that spoke to him. Was he delusional? Did insanity finally catch up to him?

Then Vlad noticed something… as he turned around in a circle, stars seemed to disappear from one area… the place that thing came from and disappeared. "Show yourself!" Vlad demanded. He formed an ecto-blast in his hands. "I am no ordinary ghost!"

"No… you are not… and I am no ordinary being myself." Vlad realized that his ghost sense didn't go off… he wasn't facing a ghost… Shivers ran down his spine as it continued to talk. "Unlike you… and unlike any ghost or form from the universe… I am that which cannot be stopped. I cannot be stopped, for I am invincible."

Somehow, Vlad knew the being was coming towards him. He threw the blast at the empty space, but it just disappeared again. He scooted back, getting away from the thing that can't be seen. "Who are you, then? And what is your purpose?"

"Why should I tell you, Earth Ghost? So you can stop me, like many other beings that have tried and are trying? I have seen many things, and all of which could not destroy me. Weaklings, they are."

Vlad looked behind him for a place to escape. The thing was still after him. Vlad noticed that it swallowed everything in its path! He saw a portal not too far away, but he had to act fast… "Are… are you a black-hole?"

"BLACK-HOLE?! They are nothing but giant, mindless fools. They do not even care to move. They are weak as well; they cannot even completely destroy some of what they take in."

"Then, ANSWER ME!" Just a few more… almost there… "WHAT ARE YOU!"

"YOU DISRESPECTFUL FOOL! NO ONE DISRESPECTS ME AND LIVES! I AM—"

Vlad flew through the portal, and seconds afterwards, the portal was gone, engulfed by whatever that thing was. Fear struck him. It was heading towards Earth. The thing can't be stopped. Vlad is—

Wait. Vlad's old smirk came back, slowly creeping broader. "Earth, in trouble, once again?" Vlad searched the new area he landed in, trying to go for the nearest portal. "Looks like I've gained my second chance."

Yeah. I have the name for the giant-evil-blob-of-darkness, but you'll just have to wait. XD
