Okay, I'm very sorry for the long wait, once again. Too much stuff is going on this summer. But, I was finally able to sit down and write the next chapter! Yay! Now... I REACHED 100 REVIEWS! OMG! THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING EVERYONE! This has made me so happy! I never thought I would even reach 50! Thank you everyone, once again! Now, reviewer responses:

KaliAnn- Thanks! I like the power I gave Danny too. Now you don't need to wonder anymore!
Tuckers-Ghostly-Girl- We'll just say interestinger is a word... because it sounds cool!
Sukira-chan- Thanks! You can do eye blasts! No fair...
cakreut12- Lol, yes, go Danny! Whoo!
momoiscool- Thanks! And yes, I got the tracking device in the arm idea from my friend's fic... "Feared Parents". But even she didn't catch the reference! Lol, good catch!
Uru Baen- Lol, yes, this fic is slightly AUish. I very much enjoying reading and sort of writing them. What truly defines an AU fic... hmm... never mind. I only know what the acronyms mean, not what really defines them. I'll be quiet now.
Phantom Fighter- Yes, I understand what you mean when you say you like cliffhangers but you don't. Same here. Thanks!
Angel of Forgotten Souls- Ah, yes, I see... updating!
Mystiksnake- Wow, thank you! Now I'm updating!

Disclaimer: I do not, and will never, own Danny Phantom. Sigh.

Family

Vlad glanced first at the Fenton Flyer, noticing with interest that Maddie was inside, and then stared at the three ghosts in front of the vehicle. Two looked nearly identical to his parents, but, that wasn't possible, was it? Oh, yes, it was the Ghost Zone; they would have become ghosts, of course. But the third ghost, it looked exactly like him in this mode, minus the fact that the colors were inversed. Vlad stared at this ghost with interest, before realizing Daniel had already flew back to the ghost vehicle, already embraced in a group hug. At first Vlad was angry that he had left him, but then he realized it was understandable. Anyway, he would always have other chances to get Daniel to join him. The boy next to Daniel said something, and Daniel the girl blushed. Vlad wondered if something was going on there between the young hybrid and that girl. He shrugged it off, briefly thinking about how he wished it could be like that with him and Maddie, then returned his interest to the ghosts. Vlad narrowed his eyes at what nearly looked like his identical, and started flying towards the trio with breakneck speed. He flew right into inversed identical, knocking him backwards a few feet.

"What… what are you doing?" Jet said, still trying to recover from the collision. Vlad just smiled and hit Jet with an ectoplasmic beam, sending Jet even back further, and now feeling a bit of pain.

"No, first, what are you doing with them?" said Vlad through clenched teeth, gesturing towards the direction of his parents. He didn't wait for Jet to respond before he punched him in the stomach. Jet decided to try some attacks of his own, but, seeing how this was his first battle, he could only come up with some feeble attempt to go intangible. There was no way he could do what this other ghost was doing, he looked like he had been a ghost for years and had become extremely powerful. Jet still thought he sounded a bit like his brother, but, that was still impossible, wasn't it? Yet he was, after all, half ghost, why couldn't his brother be one… his thoughts were interrupted by another blast, this time to his chest. Jet gasped. Vlad smiled.

"You still haven't answered my question. What were you doing with them?" He indicated the two stunned looking ghosts staring at them.

Jet answered in a meek voice, "Well... you see…" He suddenly got a streak of boldness. "Wait, why should I tell you? It's not like your going to listen!" Vlad raised his eyebrows.

"Very well, then. Let's continue on with the battle shall we? Or do you not know how to fight?" He smirked and formed four duplicates of himself, with each being able to do a different task. Jet stammered, "Um… uh…" Vlad had his duplicates all form blasts in their hands and shoot them simultaneously, so thy all hit Jet at the same time. Jet nearly fainted with exhaustion, but didn't give up. Clutching his side, his eyes widened as Vlad came back together as one and formed a pinkish ectoplasmic blast in each hand, staring down at Jet menacingly. Jet gulped as the blasts hit him, hard, and he sprawled out onto his back, barely conscious. Vlad flew down as Jet's eyes closed, and the fatigue from his body forced the two rings to surround his body and transform him back into human form. Vlad gasped and flew back. "Bro...brother?"

"Inviso-Bill!" yelled Jack and Maddie when they saw Danny with Sam and Tucker. Danny climbed into the Fenton Flyer with his friends and looked at his parents who were quickly trying to grab any ghost-hunting equipment they could get their hands on. Danny gasped and stepped back. But Jazz intervened between him and his parents.

"No! That's Danny! Remember what Sam, Tucker and I told you? That Danny was half ghost? Well, there he is!" she gestured towards Danny, who waved nervously. Both Maddie and Jack's eyes became wide as they dropped their weapons.

"Danny, is that you?" asked Maddie, uncertainly.

"Yeah, it's me mom," Danny replied, and then closed his eyes as he felt the white rings travel up and down his body. He opened his eyes and watched his parents back up and sit down. Danny smiled uneasily.

"Are you guys okay with this? That your son is the one and only Inviso-Bill, and that I'm really half ghost?"

Maddie smiled lovingly at him, though her voice was still shaky.

"You know we'll love you no matter what, and that we would never have tried to hurt you if we knew it was you all along."

Danny smiled back, knowing that every word was true.

"But… why were you trying to destroy the town?" asked Jack after a minute, apparently still in shock that his son was part ghost. Danny sighed.

"I was framed by another ghost, long story. The thing is, I'm trying to protect the town, same as you," he explained.

"Well, that explains why we have been receiving reports of Invi—you, saving people recently, we just never believed them," said Maddie, thinking.

"Yeah," said Danny, looking down. "Oh yeah, Inviso-Bill is a stupid name. I prefer to call myself Danny Phantom when I'm in ghost mode." He looked up and smiled.

"Okay, that makes since," said Maddie, smiling back at Danny.

Jazz then decided to speak up.

"Now that you're all fine with each other, Danny why did you really get in the car with Vlad?" she asked. Danny smiled nervously.

"I just wanted to… see Wisconsin, I guess," he lied. Jazz didn't look like he believed him.

"But then why were you with that other ghost when we saw you right now?" asked Maddie, with a concerned look. "Did something happen when you were with Vlad?"

Once again, Danny decided to lie.

"Yeah, that other ghost sort of kidnapped me," he said nervously. He couldn't bear to tell his family that Vlad Masters was truly evil, that he was the one out there right now, and that he was really the one behind everything. They had already gotten a shock finding out he was Inviso-Bill. He looked out the window, where he was surprised to see Vlad and this other ghost that looked a lot like Vlad fighting. That other ghost looked like he needed some serious help; he didn't know even the basics of his powers. Then Vlad gave one final blow to the ghost and the other ghost was knocked unconscious. Two rings that Danny knew all too well transformed the ghost into Vlad's brother. Danny gasped.

"He's a halfa?"

Sam nodded mutely. Vlad backed up as well, shaking his head, telling himself it couldn't be true. He looked at his parents, then at the Fenton Flyer where everyone was watching. He knew he would regret this later on, but at the moment didn't care. Two black rings engulfed him, and everyone except for Danny, Tucker, and Sam gasped loudly. Vlad was a ghost hybrid, the very first ever created.

So, read and review please! And for anyone who guesses what episode I based the fight off of gets a cookie!
