Today's Updates: Images, Darkness, Feeling Fear, Becoming. (Of All the People To Be Stuck With will be updated tomorrow. Stupid computer.)

Chapters 6 through 8 will be rewritten soon, but I didn't have time this weekend had I actually wanted to put a new chapter up.

So, one last disclaimer, and you can now see a sneak peek for chapter ten below the chapter! Enjoy!

Previously In Images: After Danny Masters is surged back into life, he's split up—and becomes both Danny Fenton and Danny Masters. Working together with Sam, they must now face death and their old friends who have become enemies. But a fatal wound from Vlad against Sam snaps a pain too strong in both boys.

Chapter Nine

Destination

Danny Masters was on his feet in no time. A tear leaked from his eye, but wasn't normally colored. It appeared like blood, trailing down his cheek as his furious eyes glowed more vividly red every second.

Danny Fenton was nearly alike, save for his alignment. His eyes burned deeper green, his entire body shaking with anger.

Both of them stood up at once, but Danny Masters was quicker. His hand at his side, a ball of red, ectoplasmic energy forming at his palm.

"I have an idea," Danny Fenton muttered, watching his other self.

"A lot of pain and hell?" Danny Masters asked in a deep voice.

"Do you have the Ghostly Wail here too?" Danny asked, thinking of his latest power.

"The what?" he asked.

"Dang it, I have this power--"

"I want him all to myself," Danny cut him off by saying. "And no one, not even you, is going to stop me." Without another second, he flew into the air, his hands outstretched in front of him.

Danny Fenton wasn't sure what to do; they were both emotional because of Sam's death and Danny Masters wasn't the only one who wanted revenge, but Vlad had proved to be even more powerful in this world, not to mention his allies.

But what he had said rang in his head heavily. "And no one, not even you is going to stop me." It sounded like a threat almost. Was there something going on that he just wasn't getting….?

He closed his eyes, swallowing and felt Danny Master's rage boil in him. Somehow, now that he had more time to think, he knew that whatever connection there was between them was strong and he could pick up things so easily now. Especially with the chaotic feelings he felt.

His eyes burned and he shook his head. He knew what Danny Masters had said, but still, it wouldn't hurt to help. And he wasn't going to stop him. He wanted to make Vlad pay…and not just for trapping him here in this hell of a nightmare, but also for the deaths of his friends and family. He rose up into the air and finally paid attention to what was going on.

Vlad saw his son approaching from farther away and smiled, walking towards him. "Ah, there you are Daniel. Is the girl gone now?" he asked.

"You sick, evil ba--" Danny hissed.

"Ah ah, there's no need for name calling," Vlad interrupted.

Danny held out his hand and red electricity flew from his fingers, aimed towards The Leader rapidly. Vlad held out his own hand and a red shield appeared. The electricity bounced off and reflected back towards him, but he went intangible and dove at him hard.

Danny grabbed onto Vlad's chest, but Vlad took his hands and grabbed his wrists. A painful shock went through his entire body, enveloping him in a pink energy. He cried out and Vlad threw him hard onto the ground.

"You're outmatched Daniel, and it's pathetic that I have to kill you myself, it really is," he hissed. "And as your father--"

"Let's define the term, 'father,' Plasmius," Danny Fenton interjected angrily, squaring off in front of his archenemy, his face set. "Some figure you are. You know, my father, doesn't try to kill me or my friends. My father encourages me and even though he may not know about my powers, he protects me. You are not a father."

"Hereditary says otherwise Daniel," Vlad said simply.

Danny glanced over at Danny Masters, who was getting up shakily, clutching his side. He wasn't surprised to see that he had red eyes. Now he knew what why he'd been feeling different.

"There's also a difference between you and Danny," he said to Vlad. "He's not evil."

"He's evil enough to kill, and that's a fine little enjoyment to watch, knowing he's becoming just like me," Vlad said.

"I'm nothing like you," Danny muttered. "I'm not evil." He looked up and his eyes slowly changed back to a green color.

"What are you going to do now? I'm so scared of two teenagers who have decided to rebel at last against me. What true power do you have that could defeat me I wonder?" he challenged. He held out his hands, pink energy forming in his palms.

Danny opened his mouth before he got the chance and took a deep breath. A high pitched wailing filled the air, green sonic waves shooting outwards.

Vlad flew backwards and even Danny Masters stumbled, standing next to him. He placed his hands over his ears, but then stood up straight, watching carefully to what exactly Danny was doing and opened his mouth.

A noise of the same level was produced and Vlad smashed into a broken wall behind him. With the combined forces of both powers, he looked like he'd just been beaten by a hundred ghosts, his hair tangled and his clothes ruffled.

They both stopped at the same time and Vlad glared up at them. He began to raise his hand, but Danny Masters suddenly teleported next to him and placed his foot up against his chest, forcing him to stay down.

"You will never be my real father," he muttered.

"Believe what you want. Either way, one day you'll turn into something darker than me after everything you've lost. You have no one and nothing anymore and you'll come to see that."

"Maybe, but you'll never see it," he said. He held out his hand and Danny tossed him the Fenton Thermos. "See you in hell."

The vortex of blue-white light opened and Vlad yelled in defeat as he was trapped inside. Danny slammed down the lid and glanced at it warily.

"Do you have more of these back home?" he asked.

"Yeah, my parents made more," Danny Fenton replied.

"Good." Danny twisted his hands and the Fenton Thermos suddenly burst into flames, dusting into a pile of ash at their feet.

Danny Fenton sighed, running a hand through his black hair. Danny Masters walked off the other direction, stumbling over to Sam's dead body.

He fell to the ground beside her and Danny remained silent, walking slowly back over to him. Danny Masters looked up as he approached.

"She…she brought us back to life," he said. "We really died and then…I just felt this surge go through me. I don't even think she meant to do it."

"She was so powerful," Danny whispered.

"She was so beautiful," Danny added. He waved a hand over her face and closed her eyes, finally putting his face in his hands and breathing in heavily, his dark eyes filling with tears.

"I think things are going to change in my world definitely now," Danny said, trying to make the mood lighter.

"Yeah, you probably want to get back, don't you?" he asked, swallowing hard and clearing his throat.

Danny became very serious. "Come with me."

Danny Masters actually laughed. "I can't do that, you know what will happen. It'll be kind of weird if you have to explain where I come from. Trust me, you don't want that. I'll just screw up everything in your world too."

"Where are you going to go?" he asked.

"I don't know….stay here probably. But, I actually had another plan in mind. Vlad is right about one thing. I can't let myself change into something worse than he was."

"What do you mean?" Danny asked, his light blue eyes narrowed.

"Here," Danny stood up and turned towards Danny Fenton. "I'm going to give you my powers. The ones you already have will just be strengthened, the ones you don't have, well, you get the picture."

Green light traveled up from Danny Masters and he glowed, but touched Danny Fenton's shoulder. The green light absorbed in their connection and Danny felt more powerful every second. Finally, after the light had completely disappeared from Danny Masters, he dropped his hand.

"Why are you doing this? Won't you need your power?" Danny asked.

"No…" he said, his voice trailing off as he glanced towards Sam. "Everything I've come to love…gone. My best friends, my family, the only love I've ever known…there's no reason for me anymore."

Danny suddenly realized what he meant and opened his mouth to protest, but Danny Masters stopped him.

"I'm not afraid of dying," he said simply.

"You don't have to--"

"Thanks…for helping, seriously. I don't know what would have happened had you never showed up," he cut him off by saying.

"None of this would have happened," Danny said, feeling guilty.

"No, it would have happened sooner or later. Don't blame yourself for this," he said. "Just be lucky you have your own world to look forward to."

"I'm telling to come with me, I don't care what they think. After I tell them, they'll understand," he said.

"Danny, I can't," he argued. "There's just no purpose."

The two boys were silent for the longest time. Finally, Danny Masters sighed. "Look, one of your new powers that I had is the ability to open up portals to other dimensions. All you have to do is think about your world, and find a mirror or wall or something and wave your hand like this." He moved his hand in a circular motion and Danny watched.

"Okay," he said.

"Well, looks like this is goodbye then. And good luck," Danny said.

Danny Fenton nodded, not exactly sure what to say. "Thank you," he told his other side.

"Go," Danny Masters said gently. He turned around, facing Sam again, his back to him.

Danny Fenton rose into the air, flying towards the school. He remembered where he'd come out of and landed there, next to the wall that he'd come through. It still remained the same wall.

He glanced behind him once and closed his eyes, wishing that there was someway he could help Danny…but he knew it was hopeless.

He waved his hand in the circular motion he'd seen him just example and visualized what his home world looked like.

A bright flash of light suddenly formed in between the bricks, growing bigger and wider every second, glowing blue and green.

Finally, when it was big enough for him to get through, he looked back at the world once more, and then jumped through.

I don't have many suicide stories, in fact, I think I only have three right now (and four, counting Time of Your Life) but half of those stories, it never happens. So, yes, that's what Danny Masters was talking about. But you never see it happen of course, and this story does not have a sequel.

Very very sad. And yes, I realize that four pages isn't really worth the wait since it took me so long to freaking update and it's not hardly long at all. But I was really kind of busy with my other fics, so I apologize for taking so long. Well, like I mentioned earlier, chapters six through eight will be edited soon and chapter ten will hopefully be here soon too, because it's the final chapter.

So, please R&R! Here's your sneak peek to chapter ten!

Chapter Ten: Nothing Has Changed

"What do you say?" he asked.

"I say, heck yeah," Tucker said excitedly. "Free food always sounds good to me. Man, I could eat anything right now."

Danny cringed and Sam noticed. She gave him a curious look, but still smiled. "Are you sure you're alright Danny?"

He shrugged. "It's just been a long night…"
