Title: Different
Pairing: DannyxVlad
Summary: Danny is living happily with his mother and sister after Jack died in a fatal accident a month ago. One day a crazy girl follows him home and forces him into the Ghost Portal. His mother does experiments on him. Vlad is horrified and steals him away. Clockwork is not amused
Notes: …did you guys skip chapter five? XD I also HATE writing as third person behind Vlad. And I have NO idea what happened in the last chapter with the italics…yeah =D
START!
Vlad woke up with a tremendous headache. He opened his eyes slowly, to not overload himself with the dim lighting of the room. He placed his head into his palm and, upon noticing the light blue sleeve, realized he was in his pyjamas.
The man got up and out of bed, his footfalls making soft thumps along the carpeted floor, and looked inside his suit pocket which had been lying across the back of a chair. Upon feeling the small object inside, he relaxed.
There was a knock at the door, "Come in, Daniel," any of his ghostly servants would've set off his ghost sense from being so close, so by default, he figured it was the boy.
His hunch was right and Danny walked slowly inside, pushing the heavy door out of his way, "Are you alright?" he asked.
Vlad straightened, "Yes, Daniel. I just got into a small scuffle with-"
"How was that a 'small scuffle'!?" Danny exclaimed, pointing to Vlad's ripped suit, "Who the hell did you have to fight with!? Couldn't you have gone to-what's his name?-Walker!?"
Vlad put his hand on the boy's shoulder, "If I had ran to Walker, my reputation in the Ghost Zone would've gone down and his domain is far further from where I was than my own portal."
His attempts to soothe the boy did not work, only made him more frightened, "Then where WERE you!?" Danny was beyond scared, he'd never seen a ghost able to injure Vlad that badly, "If you don't tell me, I'll just ask Skulker!"
Vlad was becoming annoyed, "Such a small threat, Little Badger," he sneered, "Skulker reports to me, not you."
Danny glared and stormed out of the room, Vlad watching him angrily, "Daniel, don't you walk away from me!" he followed Danny out of the room only to see the boy phase through the floor. The boy was getting better with every passing day; he could even perform small things like intangibility for a short period on human form.
Vlad sighed and placed a hand to his temple. Having too much of a headache to follow the boy, he turned back toward his chamber when he noticed it. A tray of food left on a cart by the door. It looked fresh and was still hot, so he wheeled it in. One look at the clock stated that it was just passed 3 a.m., all of his servants had gone home already.
'Did he make this himself?' Vlad took a bite. The slightly undercooked meat was seasoned oddly in a testament to Danny's lack of cooking skills. 'He was just worried…' The older man contemplated going after Danny and thanking him for the food, but decided against it.

Maddie looked up in shock as the Ecto-Exodus alarm blared through the speakers of a Jack Fenton bust in FentonWorks. Jazz came running down the stairs, "Mom!" she yelled, "What is that!?" She covered her ears against the horrid blaring.
"It's the Ecto-Exodus alarm!" Maddie yelled back to her daughter, she ran over to the bust and flipped open the head as the eyes flashed red. She slammed her hand down on the red button inside the head. Doing so caused the Fenton family photo to spin into the wall and reveal a Ghost Zone radar on the other end.
"The Ecto-whatty-what?"
"The Ecto-Exodus alarm. An alarm that only goes off when we're about to face a massive ghost invasion!" Maddie ran toward the lab, "Jazz, go upstairs and put on a HAZMAT suit."
"A what!?" the blaring had stopped by now.
"JUST DO IT!" Maddie ran down the stairs into the lab and heard Jazz run to Maddie's closet. She grabbed a Fenton Gun and pointed it at the swirling green plasma that made up the portal to the Ghost Zone.
Jazz grabbed a suit and slipped it on quickly, throwing the goggled hood over her head. She bolted down the lab stairs after her mother.
Maddie was still poised and ready with the gun when Jazz came down the stairs in the identical blue HAZMAT suit, "Get a weapon, any one."
Jazz obeyed, grabbing the Jack o' Nine Tails and setting it to spin. It whirled around like a saw, ready to cut down anything in its path.
They waited only a moment before a heavy man stuck his head out. He threw his hands up and bellowed, "BEWARE!" Maddie fired off a round at him, missing by inches.
There was a retaliation blast of bright blue ectoplasm from the top of the portal aimed directly at Jazz, who jumped off to the side to dodge it.
A large robotic man walked slowly out of the portal. His hair was green flames as was his goatee. He was dressed in black and armour. He had a gun strapped to his wrist, poised for attack. The Box Ghost followed him out.
Skulker retracted the weapon and turned toward the portal, "I told you there was a way out through here!" He waved his hand, gesturing for something to come forth.
Ember's head popped out of the swirling vortex, followed by Walker, an ectopuss and Johnny's Shadow. Maddie was about to fire again when all hell broke loose.
Thousands of ghosts flew out of the portal in a haze of green. Skulker pointed towards the stairs and roared, "GO~!"
Ghosts came up in torrents through the sidewalk, out the windows of Fenton Works, rose up and dispersed. They flew throughout the city, ducking into alleys and landing upon rooftops.
Skulker turned towards Maddie and Jazz, both in shock at what had happened. Maddie shook away her thoughts and aimed the gun at Skulker. He put up his hand, revealing the laser from before, "Don't try it woman." He grabbed the Box Ghost and flew away.

Sam ran out of her house when she saw the invasion, "Samantha!" her mother yelled, "What are you doing!?"
She ignored her mother and headed for the giant dragon, Doratea.
