(A/N) Hi guys! All I can really say before I start this chapter is that I shouldn't be promising sooner updates. I swear, if Harry Potter were reading this he would cast on me the Unbreakable Vow! Anyway, special thanks to:

Chapter 7
Danny woke up when the rumbling of the car stopped. He was on his way to Australia, to find something... But what? The red-haired woman had said something about spooks.
Danny rubbed his eyes and found he wasn't in the car. He was in the MasterSpeeder in the familiar Ghost Zone, with Vlad Plasmius... Where? How come very time he woke up, he never knew anything about anything? It was very annoying. Right, back to Fruitloop. Where was he?
Danny looked around, hesitantly unbuckling his seatbelt. He wasn't in the MS. Danny walked up to the front seat to find loads of buttons and a steering wheel, but no creepy Dracula ghost. A soft noise to Danny's right made his head whirl around, so fast he cou." ld get whiplash.
There, there was Vlad. But who was the other ghost? He was purple robed and had a cool staff. But he seemed angry. Why? Danny tried to quietly push the door open, but it didn't work. So he scooted back as far as possible, and ran straight at the door. However, he was oblivious to it already opening (his touch from before activated them), so therefore he fell headfirst out of the Speeder, onto the ground, where two bewildered ghosts could stare at him.
"Hello," the purple-robed ghost said to him. Danny just stared. He had red eyes and a scar across his face, and his skin was blue. He had a staff with a clock on it. He also seemed to be getting younger, then older, then older still, and younger again... But for some reason the ghost seemed, despite his appearance, kind. It was confusing for a six year old, who thought only in white and black.
"I suppose you knew of his presence already, Clockwork," Vlad said to the other ghost, now named Clockwork. He sounded irritated at Phantom's interruption, and Phantom shrank away. "Yes, yes I did. Hello Daniel James F-Phantom." Clockwork accidentally-on-purpose slipped up on Danny's name. "Why did you say my full name? It's weird." Clockwork allowed a smile to form on his old face. "I'm sorry, Daniel." Danny squirmed. Fruitloop called him that.
Meanwhile, Vlad was not very amused. Watching the two ghosts was getting more annoying by the second. He was a busy man, on Earth and in the Ghost Zone. And he did not have time for this! "Well, I think we must take our leave. Thank you very much, Clockwork." Vlad said curtly, steering Phantom back into the MasterSpeeder. "Remember what I have said to you, Vlad Plasmius." Clockwork called. But Vladimir didn't respond, instead shutting the MS's door and driving off once again.
"It has been half a year! Half! Our baby!" Maddie Fenton screamed shrilly to the police man. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Fenton. We have tried all we can. There is not much else we can do-"
"Then get someone who can do something!" Madeline has lost her control, her patience over her boy. "I'm sorry, ma'am," the cop looked at her with sympathetic eyes. Maddie collapsed in a mess of sobs and calls of her son's name. "It was ghosts, Maddie! I know so! He was last seen next to that wretched portal! I swear, I will tear them apart molecule by molecule until they tell me where our boy is!" Jack Fenton slapped his ginormous hand onto the counter.
Jasmine Fenton just felt numb. She loved her brother, and despite all the times she had wished he'd go away, she never wanted this. "Danny," Jazz whispered, "please come home." A tear fell down her cheek as they walked out of the station for the last time.
"Frossbity!" Danny shrieked, running towards the yeti, giving him a huge hug. "My little Phantom, are you all right?" Frostbite picked Danny up. He nodded his head yes, laughing.
"May I have a word, Frostbite?" The voice came from, to Frostbite's horror, the very half ghost Frostbite tried to protect Danny from.
Vlad.
-Later-
"You cannot deny it any longer!" Vlad smirked at the defeated yeti ghost. "Fine, Vlad Plasmius. You have won. Danny can visit you for powers training and proper school academics. As long as-"
"Yes, yes, don't tell him he is a Halfa for your own selfish reasons-"
"His protection!"
"Fine, whatever it is. Now, do I have your written consent?" Vlad held out a pen and paper, with thier agreement written on it. Frostbite sighed, and picked up the pen. "Yes, you do."
(A/N) Suspense! *gasp* I love cliffhangers (though you guys probably don't). I wanted it to be way longer, but that would kinda ruin the whole effect. But next time, I probably won't be able to stop! The next chapter is going to be awesome, I can promise you that. I will see you guys next time, remember to review!
See ya,

PS, Harry Potter showed up with his wand...
