A fan fiction by Kate-chan 91
Disclaimer: You really need reading comprehension skills if you still don't think that I'm writing a fanfic.
Kate-chan 91's tidbits (A/N): (Throws toast to Fanficaholic) Hey, Fanficaholic, did also you notice that you've been the only reviewer to review even numbered chapters? Just found that pretty interesting…
Anyway, before typing up the actual chapter, I would like to advise y'all I'm pretty new at action/fight scenes, so if y'all don't like it, I apologize. But still, like it's been said a number of times, practice makes perfect! Let's see what happens then, hmm?
Enjoy!
Chapter Five: Rage
5555
It had started simply enough: Vlad merely smirked by what Danny had just informed him, and changed into his ghost form (which resembled that of a vampire's, among other things).
"Don't tell me- you're actually going to make me eat my own words?" Danny asked as he did what he could to get ready for an attack from Vlad.
"In a way, yes," He replied, "But only because you just can't seem to get it through your skull over what Winnie could benefit from being trained by me!"
Vlad then teleported across the room and briefly disappeared from view. Once he came back to view, he was standing right in front of Danny's face. He then proceeded to clasp his right hand over the younger hybrid's throat and squeeze.
"As you know, I have had these ghost powers for a good thirty-four years of experience under my belt which means twenty more years of having powers and knowing how to use them than you." Vlad told Danny as he tried to grab Vlad's hand off his throat. "You, on the other hand, only have a mere fourteen years of experience with your powers and there are still those that I have that you can only dream about having. Who do you think she is going to benefit more from?"
Danny didn't answer. In fact, as Danny could feel more and more oxygen being cut off from his brain, he was trying harder and harder to come up with a way to get Vlad's paws off of him, beat the living crap out him, and get out the fuck out of Wisconsin with his first born than answer a stupid question like that. Finally, he racked through his brains to come up with a procedure…
Danny stopped trying to keep Vlad from strangling him and positioned his right hand right in front of Vlad's chest. Before he could say anything, Vlad was struck with a green blast of light. He let go Danny and was thrown across the room.
"So you want to play extremely dirty then, Daniel?" He yelled after he caught his breath. "I guess I can take care of that…"
Danny and Vlad then lunged at each other and began a brief battle. It certainly wasn't pretty, as it composed of punching, blasts of ghost energy, headlocks, and throwing and blasting each other across the room and into inanimate objects. Also, like the majority of the other times he fought with Vlad, the younger hybrid was getting beaten up to the extent that he almost became unconscious and shift back into his mortal form and identity. However, inbetween being blasted into a bookcase or being punched in the face, stomach and shoulders by at least three Vlad duplicates, he had to keep reminding himself of the little girl in the hall…

Hurry up! Winnie thought to herself as she kept looking at the door and the wall. She then continued by screaming, "DADDY! HURRY UP! I'M BORED AND I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR FORTY MILLION HOURS!"
The closest to an answer she got was some random yelling coming from behind the door. Responding to this, she tried to grab her father's attention again by repeating "DADDY!" in ten second intervals. Finally, she got fed up and decided to try to open the door. When she couldn't get it to open, she screamed in ire and repeatedly kicked the door so hard that she literally barricaded it.
The very second she saw the two hybrids fighting in the study, she highly regretted trying to open the door, especially when she noticed that the vampire-like ghost she saw earlier that day was in the room. Because of this, she forgot every question she had reserved for her father and screamed. She immediately fainted after doing so.
Vlad and Danny forgot the fact that they were fighting and stared at her in silence. As Danny walked towards her, Vlad asked, "Does she do that often?"
"Yeah, not that you should care…"
As Danny turned around to talk to Vlad, he noticed that he was not in the location he was at as he walked towards his daughter. At that moment, he felt a tap on his right shoulder, and knew who did it. In response to this, he immediately blasted Vlad with a ray of green ghost energy and flew through the fireplace, down the staircase and into the specter speeder with Winnie still in his arms. Once everything else was quickly taken care of, the craft sped through the Ghost Zone towards where the Fenton portal was located.

Danny Fenton and his still unconscious daughter had just got out of the specter speeder and were just about to quietly go up the stairs to the main level of Fenton Works when he both heard a couple of sets of footsteps coming towards the room and his ghost sense, a wisp of blue smoke, go off.
Dammit! He thought as he turned around as saw Vlad right next to a closed Fenton portal. How am I going to get out of this?
With the kindergartener still in his arms, he glared at Vlad and said, "Look, can't you get the fuck out of here and mind your own business for once? Please… the police are here and apart from coming up with a decent explanation over where Winnie's been, the last thing I need right now is your ass over here."
"I'm not leaving without her, Daniel," The elder hybrid responded. "You agreed to let me with her-"
"For the last fucking time, I didn't agree anything with you! Also, if you were to take her now, you'd become a wanted criminal with extended TV, computer and newspaper coverage, a high jail sentence, my mom hating you even more, the whole nine yar-"
Suddenly, the footsteps were louder to the door, which could only mean one thing. Panicking, Danny quickly grabbed Vlad's shoulder without any explanations, becoming invisible and intangible and flying out of the home.
Sam opened the door and walked down the stairs with Maddie, Jack, Broussard, the police dog and Keith in tow; this was her last idea to stall them until Danny arrived back home with Winnie.
As they were in front of the portal, Keith simply stared at it and said, "Now, what exactly is that?"
In order to answer the question, Jack gave her a long explanation over what the Fenton portal was.
"A Ghost Zone, huh?" Keith replied. "Damn, I would've really liked you guys if I didn't know you believed in ghosts."
"What's wrong with ghosts?" Jack asked in disbelief over the fact the detective didn't believe in ghosts.
"Just never believed in them or quote on quote 'life after death'," She explained. "Personally, I believe what the people in this town are seeing are flying humanoids, you know, like the ones that fly over and occasionally attack people in Mexico."
Before she could continue, however, everyone heard the doorbell ring and the dog bark like there was no tomorrow. Not a moment was spared as they ran up the stairs in order to see who was at the door. Upon having Keith open it, they came across three people: Danny, Vlad and a conscious Winnie.
"Are one of you guys Danny Fenton by any chance?" Keith asked with a raised brow as she pointed to the two men.
"Yes…Um… Vlad helped me find her near Casper High?" Danny nervously answered and then lied as Vlad was being forced to talk to Jack and Winnie was reunited with her mother.
"Okay… And now, Mister Fenton, can you explain how you managed to get out of the bathroom and start searching for the girl with who appears to be your parents' old college buddy or something close to that nature without anyone hearing or noticing?" Keith questioned Danny as Broussard recorded it.
Danny looked at Sam with mixed emotions and then back at Keith. "Um, how about we go inside before I explain that?" He replied as he shuffled Broussard, the dog, Keith and himself back inside, where he did his best to come up with a decent alibi so that they can leave and get out of his hair for at least the rest of the night.
End of Chapter Five
A/N: I would like to once again apologize if the brief action scenes sounded more like something I would write in a 101 Ways to Kill Scrappy Dog Wars chapter; I have more experience working on those and sadly, those are usually very comedic. Either way, I'll try to update soon and until then, I hope y'all have a great day!
Ja Ne!

(PS: Starting Sunday, April 2, I will temporary change my screen name to Giochi Prezoisi (It's Italian for 'precious gifts") for Spring Break. However, I will keep writing under the name Kate-chan 91 since it's (like I said) temporary, but also because Kate-chan 91 is pretty much like my permanent screen name here and I want to see what it's like to be called something without my screen name saying Kate-chan. Whatever my name is, however, I'm still the same person, and (once again) until the next update (which will hopefully happen more often during good ol' Spring Break free time), I wish y'all a great day.)
