Chapter 4: A renewed and lost bond

Sam and Tucker were recently for the past few months on Summer break akin to Danny and were out of state. They both had just gotten back more than a few days ago and wondered where Danny could be. They were relaxing at Tucker's place when they heard, "Hey Guys." And saw Danny phase through the roof. Sam growled, "Danny Fenton! Where the hell…" Ember phased through the floor and Sam pushed Danny out of the way. "What are you doing here?!" "I can explain this if you want Daddy." A now older Dani phased through the wall as well as an older Steele. Danny shook his head and explained what had happened to his friends.

Sam was in disbelief but when Steele changed into James and Ember into Amber both Tucker and Sam gasped as they had known of James Masters and Phantom Steele, but never thought he was one in the same. Sam asked one thing, "how are Dani and James older than us? Last I knew, Dani looked 13 and James was our age." James nodded and blushed when Dani held his hand, "I asked Clockwork for a way to make us both older…he said he would train both of us in a realm known to us as Ignita-Limbo. In there, time moves faster than on Earth and Clockwork made it easier for us to train."

"And…" James started but blushed profusely not able to say, Sam noticed matching rings on both Dani and James' hands, "You're married?!" Dani nodded and tried to change the subject, "Vlad is trying right now to make Maddie and Jack stop their plans to destroy us and experiment on Daddy."

"They didn't take the news of you all beings halfas well huh?" James sighed, "Not even the slightest."

Vlad growled as he walked into the Fenton's household. He looked at Jack and Maddie with disgust, "Why in the hell would you torture your son?!" "Vladdie? What are you doing here?" Jack asked his best friend from college. "Answer the question, Goddamnit!" Maddie and Jack were confused but Maddie said, "We wanted that ghost out of our son. We know Phantom is overshadowing Danny."

Vlad facepalmed, "Did you ever stop to think that Phantom is your son, and that he may be half-ghost?"

The GIW officer Agent K approached Vlad asked, "What makes you say that? Humans can't be half ghost." "These two idiots noticed my son, James Masters, change into his ghost half and help Danny and his new family escape before something happened! You even fought him in his Break Form and got beaten severely from what he told me." "Vlad?" Vlad recognized a feminine voice he thought was long dead, but a brunette female with yellow eyes, long hair wearing a red jumpsuit and looking very much human walked out of the kitchen, eyes wide Vlad said, "Maria…."

"You know about our child now?" Vlad nodded still stunned, "How…" Maria closed her eyes, tears started to form, "These idiots found a way to bring me back from being a ghost…"

"Hey! We gave you life again! Don't be rude!" Agent O growled. "Maybe I wanted to stay dead! I'm grateful I'm alive but I'm not suicidal!" Maria grabbed the rifle off her back and pointed it at Agents O and K. Maria looked at Vlad with a smile that made Vlad's heart melt for the first time in ages, "Wanna give me a hand, Vlad?" "Of course. I'd be glad too, my love." Two black rings formed around Vlad that were familiar to Maria but not to everyone else spilt apart and changed Vlad Masters into Vlad Plasmius.

Maddie and Jack gasped but drew their weapons as did the GIW. Maria knew they had to hold back on their attacks as did Vlad but they didn't expect another voice to come from Maria's left, "Hmph, I never thought these idiots would be able to bring someone back form the dead. I won't take her life…but I'll help you Plasmius." Vlad knew that voice as well, they had fought against and with each other in the past, "Reaper, about time you showed up." Death appeared and removed his hood showing a human like face but was paler than usual skin, blonde white hair and blood red eyes. "Hey, I take my time. Because I have all the time in the world."

"Fair enough, Reaper. Let's go!"

Death smirked and summoned his scythe and poised ready for action.

Meanwhile, Danny and Amber were having a fight against Sam, who was livid at the idea of Danny and Amber together when she was about to confess. Tucker was sitting with James and Dani, James of course being knocked out by Sam from her ecto pistol and Dani checking her husband for injuries. She found none and sighed in relief. Tucker just looked at Sam and shook his head. Sam growled at Danny, "Why is Dani calling you Daddy anyway? She's your clone, not your daughter!" Danny narrowed his eyes and growled a bestial growl, "What did you say?" His eyes flashed red. This sent a shiver through everyone.

"Goth girl, you might not wanna piss Babypop anymore than you just did. You might regret it." Amber ducked down to avoid a blast from Sam.

The room got cold, Dani didn't shiver due to her Cores not even Amber, Tucker shivered as did Sam but then Sam suddenly was encased in a black aura. James suddenly and saw the black aura around Sam. He quickly stood up and went ghost. He noticed a dark crystal around Sam's neck he hadn't noticed.

'This isn't good. That Aura…can they really be manipulating the darkness? I have to…' He summoned his spear and soon Sam was engulfed by the dark aura. 'Shit…I may have to…'

Danny and Amber changed into their ghost halves and grabbed their Break Crystals. James grabbed his and Tucker looked at the crystal, "What the hell is with that crystal?" Dani told Tucker, "Run." She grabbed her Break Crystal and prepared for a fight.

Tucker gulped and hid under his bed.

The Aura faded from Sam and she had changed drastically; she had long blonde hair, wore skintight black armor and wielded a sword that exuded a dark aura. Steele saw her turn towards Dani and saw her red eyes, "Die." She said as she pointed her sword at Dani and shot a beam of darkness at her. Steele rushed for Dani but was too late and Dani was hit by the beam, knocking her out. Steele got to Dani and checked on her vitals…he could sense she was unconscious but severely damaged. Steele could only feel rage then in his heart.

"This will end…NOW!" Steele's energy began to spike heavily and his body began to emit a dark aura.

Danny was feeling the same way but before he could do anything he and Ember were knocked out by two GIW agents that also emitted dark aura.

Now Steele was beyond pissed and his energy spiked beyond belief making all three enemies jump back and hold their weapons offensively. His features began to change as his aura changed he yelled, "AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!" The Break Crystals of Danny, Ember, Dani and Steele began to float and fly towards Steele, the crystals merged into Steele enhancing his power to the level to the same level as Sam.

His eyes turned pure glowing white, his hair turned pitch black and his spear disappeared. Sam went, "Hmph, think you can stop us?" Steele, in a scratchy voice, "I've got to stop you!" In his hand was Dani and his rings intertwined, "Everybody, please lend me your…. Power!"
