Hehe! Funny story.
So you know the bit at the beginning of last chapter? Be glad that I checked this one before uploading it, or else the EXACT SAME THING would've been on this one too. So I saw that it said that there were 13 chapters, but I had forgotten that I had left the announcement "chapter" up, and so when I finished writing all of that, and was going to post it, I noticed that it was the wrong chapter! UGH guys, I was not kidding when I said that it was late, instead of going to sleep 11, (I had promised a chapter, and I wasn't going to let you down!) I went to bed midnight. Yeah. MIDNIGHT! It took a whole nother (Texan slang sorry) hour to finish off. *sigh*

But anyways, I just got done fixing my previous chapters, so feel free to check those out again, and enjoy the slightly better versions of the first 6 or 7 chapters. And 9.

I STILL CAN'T DO REVIEW REPLIES! Guys! I want to hear from you. And I have lots of time to do replies today, but there are none to reply to! *cries-in-corner*

I am so sorry. It has been a long week.
There are only 4 chapters left! I am so excited to see y'alls reaction to the first book! This has been so fun to write, and even though I haven't been getting replies like I hoped for, I am so glad 1,551 of you like this story! I can't wait to see the numbers a year or 2 from now.

So, I have yet to write book two, and,
****!SPOILER ALERT!*****
we will not get anymore answers on Vlad in book 1! You guys are definitely going to have to pull out your creativity caps and give some ideas! I have none because I'm trying to let y'all write this story to!

Well, here we go! Enjoy!

"Vlad is building a portal?!" I said, very as loud and quiet as I could, seeing as Vlad was sleeping, and I did not want to wake him up. How does that even work on a spaceship? Is the portal in a fixed position? Or does it move with the ship?

When I flew in, I was expecting a weapon of some sort. But no. I fly in and I see the portal, on the wall just across from Vlad. When you enter the door, Vlad's bed is to the right, so when I went in, my back was to the wall that had the portal. I went around it to the other room, and you would think that a normal wall was on the other side. At first glance anyway. The wall that was the back of the portal was kind of blurry. I shock my head a few times, and that's when I saw, more clearly, a giant piece of metal sticking out, about four feet thick. It took up almost the entire wall. I wondered how whoever owned this room never noticed it. I decided to fly into the side of it, just to see if it was really there. At first I hit the side hard, but as I tried again, I went straight through. I looked down at myself to see if I was intangible, and I wasn't.

This is just too freaky. I wanted to test everything. I turned back into Fenton, and when I opened my eyes, it wasn't there. I put my hand out where it was when I had first seen it, and my hand went through air. I turned invisible, and there it was! I reached out and touched it, and I could feel it! Only ghosts could interact with it I figured out. I guess because Vlad was the only ghost on the ship, he didn't have to worry, but then I came along, and I'm sure I messed up his plans. But why would he need a portal?

As I finished that thought, someone entered the room. Luckily, I was already invisible, so I didn't need to worry about being seen in my ghost form. It was Rocket.

"Man, that Danny kid is really weird. I'm beginning to think he's more trouble than he's worth. But, what can you do? And he doesn't seem to like Vlad much, which I can see why. I never trusted him. Now I don't even more! He's always making so much noise over there, and when I go looking in his room to see what he's doing, there ain't nothing there!" Rocket was ranting to himself, and I decided to listen, just to see if he accidentally revealed something that could be useful. But he never said anything else, and I'm sure that Peter and Skulker where getting suspicious.

I walked out of Rocket's room, and motioned for them to follow, and I led them to my room.

"You where in there a long time, Danny. You also came out of Rockets room. What where you doing in there?" Peter asked.

"You won't believe it!" And so I told them about how he was building a portal, and how only ghosts can see and touch it, and half of it goes into Rockets room.

"A portal? To the Ghost Zone? Well, why would he need that? He's not welcome there or on Earth!" Skulker said.

"I'm wondering the same thing. Wait, why did he get kicked out of the Zone?" I asked.

"Why wouldn't he get kicked out of the Ghost Zone?" Peter asked before Skulker could answer.

"Well, the Ghost Zone is home to all ghosts. No matter what they have done. Good things. Evil things. Doesn't matter. So I was thinking that Vlad would be more than welcome there. The Zone is a place for ghosts to go to to stay away from Earth. To have peace. Or to cause trouble in Walker's and the Box Ghost's cases." I said

"Yes, normally, he would be more than welcome, but he has not only caused Earth trouble, but he's put the Ghost Zone in danger numerous times. Like when he released Pariah Dark and he drove us out of our homes, Vlad released Vortex, who caused trouble in the Ghost Zone before he went to Earth, and then the Disateroid." Skulker finished. Peter only looked to grow madder by the second.

"That's it! I've had enough of secrets! We are going to go tell the others about him while he is asleep." Peter declared.

"I agree. But we need to be careful. He is very clever and manipulative. If we aren't careful, he could play us like instruments. I think we need to keep him in the dark about everyone knowing, that way nothing changes and we can take him by surprise!" I said. Peter nodded in agreement.

So we went and gathered everyone into the main part of the ship.

"Gamora, did you tell Nova that Yondu escaped?" Peter asked.

"No not yet, I'll tell them that we are still coming for Danny." She turned to leave, but I stopped her. Using my speed, and a little of flight, I stepped in front of her in the doorway.

"You may want to wait to do that, and you may also want to sit down." I told her. She looked at me suspiciously, but she did go and sit in a nearby chair.

"Now, I know you all trust Vlad,-" I began, but Drax interrupted.

"I don't think we do trust Vlad very much anymore." He said sadly.

"Well, you shouldn't. And here's why." And then I spilled. I told them everything I told Peter. How we got like this, my parents, the Disateroid, every scheme he's ever done, trying to steal my mom, and when I finished, Skulker told them some of the things that Vlad had him do, which I asked him to do right before we started. But when it looked like we were done, I told them about the portal.

"When I went to check on Vlad the first time, I saw him sleeping in his ghost form, and this shocked me so much that I didn't notice the giant Ghost Portal behind me. Half of it goes into your room, Rocket."

He turned to me accusingly. "And how, exactly, would you know this?"

"When I went to check it out, I flew into your room to see if it extended beyond the wall, and it does." I replied.

"No it doesn't your lying." He said smugly.

"No, I'm not. And I can prove it. Only ghosts can see it and interact with it. I don't know how, but he made it that way so you guys couldn't see it." I said sadly

"Come on. I'll show you." They all got up and Rocket led the way to his room.

First, I grabbed Peter, just because he already knew, and if this doesn't work, he would still believe me about Vlad.

I grabbed him, and turned intangible, and flew him in. At first, even I didn't see it, and Peter commented on this, so I turned invisible, and that's when I saw it.

"There it is! Do you see it Peter?"

He just nodded, I think. We were both invisible, so I could only guess.

I took us out of there, and Skulker took Drax, and I grabbed Gamora.

"I don't see anything." She said.

I turned to Skulker. "Intangibility doesn't work. You'll have to turn him invisible." He nodded and they both disappeared. Drax gasped in surprise.

"Drax? Where did you go? Are you ok?" she asked worriedly.

"Oh their fine. Just invisible. They can see us, but not for long." As I finished that sentence, I turned us both invisible. She gasped.

"Can I see the other side?" she asked me curiously.

I nodded. "But you'll have to stay quiet so Vlad doesn't wake up. He may still be asleep." She nodded.

I took us through the wall, and sure enough, the front was active, but Vlad was gone.

"He must've just used it." I said.

"How can you tell?" Gamora asked.

"See the swirly pattern? That's kinda what it looks like in the Zone. The doors were closed when I first saw it, so he has to be in there already." As I finished that sentence, I heard Rocket screaming.

"WHY THAT LITTLE-!" I didn't really want to hear that last part so I said something else.

"Do you want to see the inside? I could take you and Peter, and we could stop by Skulker's island for some weapons?" I asked.

"Is it safe?" she asked. I never said anything, but I made my face visible so she could see my look that said, "Kinda? Not really.."

She nodded and said, "Yeah. Lets do it!"

"Ok but we should probably tell the others. And also, we don't want to run in to Vlad in there, so we should wait and distract him before we go." I said.

She nodded, and we got out of there.

As we got back, we told the others.

"No way. If Quill and Gammy get to go, so do I!" Rocket yelled.

"I don't know Rocket, you could really help out by distracting Vlad." Peter said. He grumbled, but agreed.

So it was decided. Me, Gamora, and Peter would go into the Ghost Zone, and I would show them around, stopping by Skulker's island to grab weapons, and also to tell Ember that he misses her and that he will be back soon. He gave me his belt with the "S" on it so she would know I wasn't lying. Groot, Rocket and Drax would distract Vlad for a few hours so we can see it.

I told them to go get ready, and we went to prepare. I went to my room, grabbing my backpack full of ghost hunting equipment, and we waited for Vlad to return. When he did, the others went to work distracting him, and I brought Peter and Gamora into Vlad's room. I transformed, grabbed both of them, turned us all invisible so the portal would work, and we dived in.

Well, how do you think this will go? I wonder who we will run into first? Leave a suggestion, and I will see if I can fit it in the story without majorly affecting it.
Also, I have been having the hardest time submitting things to Beta Readers. It only tells how to become a Beta Reader. HELP PLEASE!

Guys, try to be patient with me. I know I can go over the top sometimes, but I am only trying to have fun, and I am also trying to give all the other Phan's out there something to read.
