Chapter Three: This is the First Day of the Rest of Your Half Life
Danny looked up and saw something he had never seen before. It looked like a person, but different. It had blue skin and glowing red eyes, and black hair styled into two large points. He was also wearing a white suit of some kind with a cape. Too top it all off he was floating off of the ground.
"Is that a ghost?" thought Danny, then he began to speak.
"You two creatures get out of here, I will not let you harm this child." said the ghost.
The ectopuses did not like this idea and began to attack the other ghost. Fortunately for them the rooms on the upper floor were sound proofed, so no one could hear the noise in the lab.
"Why is he defending me from those weird things? I thought all ghosts were evil." thought Danny.
His parents had always told him that ghosts were evil and loved to harm humans. But this one didn't act like that, he did not seem to want to harm Danny.
"Wait, I'm a ghost, and I don't feel evil, maybe some ghosts aren't evil." thought Danny.
Danny sat and watched the battle rage on. Then the big person ghost finished beating the two ectopuses, and they fled back into the Ghost Zone. The ghost turned towards Danny and Danny flinched, those eyes scared him.
"Are you ok little one?" said the ghost.
"Yes, thank you for saving me." said Danny.
"Its what I do, help those who need help." said the ghost
"Who are you?" said Danny.
"My name is Vlad Plasmius." said Vlad.
"I'm Danny Fenton, thanks again for helping me." said Danny.
"Your quite welcome." said Vlad.
He then turned to leave, as he was walking away Danny decided that if he was ever going to find out what was wrong with him, now was the time.
"Wait! I have to ask you a question." said Danny.
Vlad stopped and turned around to look at Danny.
"What do you want to ask?" said Vlad.
"Well, a few days ago I…died, and what I want to ask you is how do I deal with being a ghost." said Danny.
"Ha ha! Your not dead, well, not all the way." said Vlad.
"What do you mean?" said Danny.
"I mean that you are not fully ghost, you're a halfa." said Vlad.
"What's a halfa?" said Danny.
"It is a half human half ghost." said Vlad.
"So…I'm only half dead?" said Danny.
"Yes, you should have a ghost half, try to bring it out and I'll show you." said Vlad.
Danny stood their confused, how as he supposed to do what Vlad had asked? Danny just shrugged his shoulders and tried anyway. Danny tried to concentrate on this ghost form Vlad had talked about. He tried to feel ghostly, to feel invisible, to feel cold. Two bluish white rings started to separate from his waist. They spread out towards his head and feet and soon he had transformed into a small white haired, green eyed boy.
"Good, now look at yourself in the mirror." said Vlad.
Danny turned to look at the mirror and was shocked at what he saw. Standing where he was there was a little boy with white hair and glowing green eyes. He was wearing a t-shirt and shorts just like he was, but the colors were all funny. When he moved his arm the little boy in the mirror did too.
"Is that…me?" said Danny.
"Yes it is, that is your ghost half." said Vlad.
"Wow, I look really weird." said Danny.
"Don't think of it as weird, think of it as…unique." said Vlad.
"Unique? What does that mean?" said Danny.
"It means that you are special. You have powers that no other person on Earth has. You can do anything, fly, shoot ectobeams, lift heavy things…" said Vlad.
"You mean I'm a superhero?" said Danny.
"Yes, you could say that." said Vlad.
"How do you know all this?" said Danny.
"Because…" said Vlad as two black rings appeared at his waist, changing him back to normal.
"…I'm just like you." said the now human Vlad.
"Your Mr. Masters!" said Danny.
"Yes, and like you I have ghost powers as well." said Vlad.
"How did you get them?" said Danny.
"That's not important right now, what is important is that I am here to help you. When I first got my powers I had trouble with them, and I can only guess that you are having trouble as well?" said Vlad.
"Yes." said Danny.
"When I saw how you dropped that glass when I first got here I knew that I had to help you. I remember always worrying about someone finding out my secret." said Vlad.
"So how are you going to help me?" said Danny.
"I'm going to teach you how to use your powers the right way, so that no one finds out your secret. You have a lot of potential, I just know it. There is just one thing you have to do." said Vlad.
"What?" said Danny.
"You have to leave your home and live at mine, there I can teach you how to use your powers." said Vlad.
"Leave home, why?" said Danny.
"Because if you stay here your parents might find out about your powers, and we don't want that do we?" said Vlad.
Vlad was right, if Danny's parents found out about his powers they would hate him.
"No, I don't want that, but what we you tell them?" said Danny.
"I'll just tell them that you got accepted to a school for smart kids, that way they'll be proud of you when you return." said Vlad.
Danny was excited about that idea. His parents would be so proud of him, and he could rub it in Jazz's face, she never got accepted to a school for smart kids.
"Can I be a superhero like you? The way you beat up those mean ghosts was amazing" said Danny.
"Of course my boy, I'll train you to be the best superhero ever." said Vlad.
Danny was so excited that he started to dance around. Being both a smart boy and a superhero meant that his parents would be doubly proud of him.
"Ok Daniel, that's enough of that." said Vlad as he stopped the hyper little boy.
"When do we leave to start training?" said Danny.
"We can leave right now, just grab my hand." said Vlad.
Danny grabbed onto Vlad's hand and with his powers he and Danny flew out of the Fenton's house. Danny's parents and sister slept soundly now knowing that soon they would find Danny gone.

Rob: Sorry for the short chapter, my computer broke and I just got it back. Also I'm going away on vacation tomorrow and I won't be updating for a week. I just wanted to post something before I go, now to hand it back over to Clockwork.
Clockwork: Thank you Rob, now the moment you've all been waiting for, the pulling of the hurt Vlad lever. But today it gets even better, because for no apparent reason were going to include the evil Dan Phantom in this as well.
Dan and Vlad: Now wait just one moment…Clockwork pulls the hurt Vlad/Dan lever. Dan and Vlad are then hit with the mother of all stink bombs, I mean this thing has rotten eggs, stink cabbage, and some really smelly stuff we found on the ground.
Vlad: Arggh! I can't breath!
Dan: Sweet mother of destruction! What is this rancid stuff? Uh oh, it looks like our villains are all filthy and dirty now, we have to help them he he. Suddenly Dan and Vlad are strapped to a car and sent through a car wash.
Dan and Vlad: Ow! Eek! Aiiie! Gurgle! Cough! And So Dan and Vlad got the most painful bath ever and they come out the other end looking clean, yet beaten up.
Dan: This could not get worse.
Vlad: You really shouldn't have said that.
Dan: Why? Then suddenly the Fluffy Army of Doom appears.
Dan: Oh, that's why. Then the two villains get the snot beaten out of them for being evil villains.
Clockwork: Now that Vlad and Dan have been punished for their evil, it is time for the chapter summery.
Well it seems that Vlad has gotten Danny to trust him. Now Vlad is taking him to his castle in Wisconsin for training. But what poor little Danny doesn't know is that it is training for evil. What will happen next to our little halfa? The only way to find out is to read the next chapter of Daniel Masters.
Clockwork: So until next time Danny Phantom fans, read and review.
