Hello everyone! To all those who have reviewed, followed etc. this story, I thank you! It's incredibly nice to have such praise over one of my stories, and I'm very happy I'm getting feedback! So thank you all so much!

Oh! And to the guest who asked me if Ida was Sam's grandma? Yes, she is in fact that Ida Manson. I wanted someone to fill in the role for Sam in Danny's past, and I remembered Ida telling Sam in the episode Control Freaks that she was pretty wild too when she was Sam's age. Ida and Sam tended to be so much alike from what I had seen in the show, (That actually might be where Sam got it from) that she was perfect for the role. Plus, it would be a weird twist of fate that Danny happened to meet his past freinds grandkids in his current life don't ya' think?

Well, enough rambling! You're all wanting to see the chapter right? Remember that I'm open to all questions (as long as their not spoilers) and feedback! Let's get this show on the road shall we? :)

Warnings for this chapter: None worthy of mentioning, just a little drama.

Chapter thirteen: Blue light then it all went white

"What are you doing here Masters?!" Phantom snarls as he pushes Danny behind him. Vlad slowly moves around the room, legs giving the illusion of walking, but his feet never touching the ground.

"I was just enjoying the show. Little did I realize that that beautiful song was meant for you though, Phantom."

Phantom tenses up as his eyes follow the other ghost around the room, careful to keep Danny behind him. Vlad chuckles as he clasps his hands behind his back, smirking at Phantom's attempt to shield the raven haired boy.

"Come now, do you really think you can can protect the boy Baritoni? I'm more powerful than you know and even now my power grows." The man taunts.

Danny growls, slowly reaching for the pistol tucked in the band of his jeans. "Even if that's true Masters, you're not invincible! We will stop you!" He baits the shadow.

"And how do you plan to do that Little Badger? You still haven't the faintest idea how to use your powers at will, you must rely on this fool to help you." He says as he sneers at Phantom.

Danny grins, "I'm not helpless Vlad, here let me show you!" He whips out the ecto gun and fires at the specter. The move catches Vlad off guard and sends him into the wall, the attack causing him to fade away.

Danny twirls the gun and blows the residual smoke from it. "Huh, I guess having ghost hunters as parents really does pay off. At least I didn't inherit my Dad's aim." He boasts before realizing that his ghostly lover hadn't relaxed his stance, "Uh, Phantom, he's gone now...right?"

Phantom shakes his head, glowing eyes still alert, "That was too easy, Vlad doesn't just give up like that. What's-" Vlad appears behind Danny and grabs him, the blue eyed boy crying out as he is hoisted up into the air. Phantom turns around, ready to snatch his love back when his eyes widened at the the man's hand on the raven's head.

"Non di nuovo, Vlad non osare!(1)" Phantom exclaims.

Vlad smiles evily as the hand on Danny's head tightens, "We're almost out of the Triangle my boy, I'm afraid I'll have to do this though I do hate to cheat...well actually no I don't," He laughs.

Danny feels something push into his mind, the feeling is slimy and the ice spiders are worse than ever, seeming to be inside his head and under his skin all at once. He screams in agony as he distantly hears Vlad's laughter and Phantom calling out his name in panic. His head starts pounding, and he realizes that the sensation is familiar.

'Oh my god he's trying to wipe my memories again!' He thought in horror.

He begins to look back on when he first met Phantom, when he gave him the pin and the rose, all the times that Phantom had been with him; then he thought about after Vlad had first wiped his memory and sealed his powers away, how lonely and frustrated Phantom must have been when Danny couldn't see him, couldn't remember him and how he himself felt when he was alone, feeling as if something was missing in his life but was never able to figure out what it was.

'No!' He thinks with determination flashing in his eyes, 'I won't go through that again! I won't let Phantom go through that again! And I'll be DAMNED if I let Vlad win again!' He sees the blue light behind his eyes again and hears Vlad scream, the light becoming brighter and brighter until it is so bright Danny thought it would blind him. It bursts and everything becomes white.

Line break

Phantom watches, feeling helpless as his Nightingale screams, wishing with all his core that he could do something. He flies through the air, trying to either hit Vlad or snatch Danny away when he realizes that Danny wasn't the one screaming anymore. When he takes a closer look, he sees that Danny's eyes are wide open and glowing a brighter blue than normal. Vlad's screams of pain and rage echo throughout the room, so loud the ghost was sure that the living could hear it. He vaguely hears people coming into the room and gasp as from their point of view, Danny was probably floating by himself in thin air. He hears Danny's family call his name, just as the blue light turned stark white, and then Phantom felt nothing.
