GhostWriterGirl-1: Thank you and to answer your question, no, Daranak and Salzer, or ghosts from the Xandar plane are not aware of Danny and Dani. The ghosts from other dimensional planes of the Ghost Zone, like Xandar's or Hala's, are different from the ones we know from the Earth plane, and those planes are very far apart from each other. So the ghosts that knows Danny and Dani are also not aware of Daranak and Salzer. The Ghost Zone is the flip side of the universe, not just Earth. Daranak and Salzer for now thinks they're the only half ghost hybirds to exist in the galaxy, while Danny and Dani think they, along with Vlad, are the only half ghost hybirds in existence. Danny and Dani, and Daranak and Salzer is in for a big surprise and shock when they finally meet each other in Infinity War.

Here's chapter 5 everybody.
Chapter 5: Crimes Against The Galaxy.
Peter, Gamora, Rocket and Groot entered the main prison room where there was a watchtower and other inmates. Right immediately, Peter, Groot and Rocket noticed how the inmates threatened Gamora as she tries to ignore all of them.
"It's like I said, she's got a rep. A lot of prisoners here have lost their families to Ronan and his goons. She'll last a day, tops." Rocket said to Peter.
"The guards and the Nova Twins will protect her, right?" Peter asked.
"They're here to stop us from getting out. They don't care what we do to each other inside. As for the Nova Twins, they'll probably protect her." Rocket said.
"Whatever nightmares the future holds, are dreams compared to what's behind me." Gamora said.
Peter then gets a surprise when he sees a blue-skinned monstrous inmate stands in front of him.
"Check out the new meat. I'm gonna slather you up in Gunavian jelly, and go to town..." the inmate threatened.
Groot suddenly stuck his fingers up the inmate's nose and lifted him into the air, making him scream in pain.
"Let's make something clear." Rocket said to the other inmates before pointing at Peter. "This one here is our booty! You wanna get to him, you go through us! Or, more accurately, we go through you."
Groot breaks the inmates nose before dropping him to the ground before he, along with Rocket, leaves.
"I'm with them." Peter proudly said before leaving the inmate whimpering.
Meanwhile, Gamora was still being threatened by the inmates, saying how she won't be safe. Gamora then entered the safe comfort of her cell, while the inmates scream at her. As the inmates leaves, one inmate at the lower level look at Gamora's cell, with vengeance in his mind.
Hours later, Peter was sleeping around the other inmates in the group quarters when he overheard Gamora being abducted by one of the guards as well as some of the other prisoners. Peter then got up to follow them, much to Rocket's concern.
"Quill, where you going? Quill. Quill!" Rocket asked, but Peter ignore him.
At the same time, Daranak and Salzer also overhead the conversation between one of the corrupted guards and the others inmates. The two then head to the area where the corrupt guard was at.
"What did you do?" Salzer asked.
"Giving Gamora what she deserves, but a babe like you shouldn't be concerned." the guard said, while hitting on Salzer.
That statement got Daranak upset and eventually gave him a right hook, knocking him out.
"Idiot. That's not how we operate in the Corps. And stay away from my sister." Daranak said.
"Those inmates must have taken, Gamora, we gotta stop them. And thanks for defending me." Salzer said.
"No problem. Let's go." Daranak said.
Meanwhile, Gamora gets pinned at a wall of the showers while one of the inmates points a knife at her throat.
"Gamora, consider this a death sentence for your crimes against the galaxy." the inmate said.
"You dare?" a voice said, stopping the inmates.
The inmates look back in fear to see the same inmate who was staring at Gamora's cell earlier. He was large and had a large muscle built, not wearing a top, and had muddier grey skin with red markings all over him.
"You know who I am, yes?" the large inmate asked.
"You're Drax. The Destroyer." the inmate said in fear.
Drax approached the group, not knowing that Peter, followed by Rocket, was approaching.
"And you know why they call me this." Drax said.
"You slayed dozens of Ronan's minions." the inmate answered.
"Ronan murdered my wife, Ovette, and my daughter, Camaria." Drax said while staring at Gamora. "He slaughtered them where they stood. And he laughed! Her life is not yours to take. He killed my family. I shall kill one of his in return."
"Of course, Drax. Here, I..." the inmate said, handing Drax his knife.
Daranak and Salzer was also approaching the confrontation and hid behind the wall. Before they can react, Gamora managed to disarm the inmates before pointing the knives at Drax and the lead inmate while Peter, along with Rocket, and Daranak and Salzer were approaching the confrontation.
"I'm no family to Ronan or Thanos." Gamora said before dropping the weapons. "I'm your only hope at stopping him."
Drax, however, furiously grabbed Gamora's throat and pointed the knife again.
"Woman, your words mean nothing to me!" Drax yelled.
"Hey!, Hey, hey, hey! Hey!" Peter said, gaining Drax and the inmate's attention.
"Stop!" Daranak and Salzer said, gaining everyone's attention.
"Oh crap." Rocket said.
"You know, if killing Ronan is truly your sole purpose, I don't think this is the best way to go about it." Peter said.
"Are you not the man this wench attempted to kill?" Drax asked.
"Well, I mean, she's hardly the first woman to try and do that to me." Peter said before lifting his shirt. "Look, this is from a smoking-hot Rajak girl. Stabbed me with a fork. Didn't like me skipping out on her at sunrise." Peter said before dragging his collar. "I got, right here, a Kree girl tried to rip out my thorax. She caught me with this skinny little A'askavariian who worked in Nova Records. I was trying to get information. You ever seen an A'askavariian? They have tentacles, and needles for teeth. If you think I'm seriously interested in that, then..." Drax then glare at Peter, annoyed by his rattling. "You don't care. But here's the point. She betrayed Ronan. He's coming back for her. And when he does, that's when you.." Peter makes a gesture with his finger crossing his throat, confusing Drax.
"Why would I put my finger on his throat?" Drax asked.
"What?" Peter said in confusion before realizing what Drax meant. "Oh, no, it's a symbol. This is a symbol for you slicing his throat."
"I would not slice his throat. I would cut his head clean off." Drax said, making Daranak and Salzer grabbed their heads.
"It's a general expression for you killing somebody. You've heard of this. You've seen this, right? You know what that is." Peter said to the inmate and Daranak and Salzer.
"Yeah, yeah." the inmate said.
"We've seen it, too." Salzer said.
"Everyone knows." Peter said.
"No, no." the inmate said, making Peter annoyed a little.
"What I'm saying is, you want to keep her alive. Don't do his work for him." Peter said.
"Peter is right. The possibility of Ronan coming here is extremely high." Daranak said.
"And we need her alive in order to find Thanos as well. And I know a big guy like you wants a piece of him as well." Salzer said.
Drax looked at Peter, then Daranak and Salzer, and finally Gamora before dropping her.
"I like your knife. I'm keeping it." Drax said to the inmate before leaving.
"That was my favorite knife." the inmate said.
"All right, back to your cell." Daranak said to the inmate.
A few seconds later, Peter tries to assure Gamora after what just happen.
"Listen! I could care less whether you live or whether you die." Peter said.
"Then why stop the big guy?" Gamora asked.
"Simple. You know where to sell my Orb." Peter said.
"How are we gonna sell it when we and it are still here?" Gamora asked.
"My friend Rocket, here has escaped 22 prisons." Peter answered.
"Oh, we're getting out. And then we're headed straight to Yondu to retrieve your bounty." Rocket said.
"How much was your buyer willing to pay you for my Orb?" Peter asked Gamora.
"Four billion units." Gamora answered.
Peter and Rocket couldn't believe what Gamora just said, making Peter cuss out.
"That Orb is my opportunity to get away from Thanos and Ronan. If you free us, I'll lead you to the buyer directly and I'll split the profit between the three of us." Gamora said.
"I am Groot." Groot said behind a gate.
"Four of us. Asleep for the danger, awake for the money as per frickin' usual." Rocket said.
"Make it six." Daranak said as Salzer and himself approached the group.
"You two are gonna help us escape?" Gamora asked, not believing what she heard.
"You two are Nova Corpsmen. You can get court-maritalled for treason." Peter said.
"Yes. Like I said, the chances of Ronan coming here is extremely high. Once he gets here, Ronan's gonna kill every single soul in this corrupt prison." Daranak said.
"Not to mention that he's trying to get that Orb that you and Peter were fighting for, which is in impound. My brother and I can't defeat Ronan easily, so it's better if we get out of here in advance. And hopefully find out what the Orb is for. My brother and I have a bad feeling if Ronan wants to get his hands on it, especially since he's working with Thanos. And not to mention my brother and I don't like the corruption here and I'm sick of these corrupt guards hitting on me." Salzer said.
"We'll help you all escape, if you let us join you. We don't care about the money." Daranak said.
"Do we have a deal?" Salzer asked.
"Deal, but what happens if the Nova Corps try to contact you?" Peter asked.
"Salzer and I have been AWOL many times before, so we will try to come up with an excuse." Daranak said.
"Well, you two better get some sleep. We have to get ready." Salzer said.
Back at the Dark Aster, Ronan was talking to Thanos' personal assistant the Other, by hologram, regarding Gamora's capture.
"You have been betrayed, Ronan." the Other said on the hologram screen.
"We know only that she has been captured. Gamora may yet recover the Orb." Ronan said.
"No! Our sources within the Kyln say Gamora has her own plans for the Orb. Look, your partnership with Thanos is at risk. Thanos requires your presence. Now!" the Other said before ending the call.
A few minutes later, Ronan and Nebula arrived at Thanos' domain known as the Sanctuary, the domain of Thanos. Ronan was trying to explain to his ally, who's throne was facing away from him, while Nebula was fixing her arm.
"With all due respect, Thanos, your daughter made this mess, and yet you summon me." Ronan said.
"I would lower my voice, Accuser." the Other warned.
"First, she lost a battle with some primitive." Ronan said.
"Thanos put Gamora under your charge." the Other said.
"Then she was apprehended by the Nova Corps." Ronan said.
"You are the one here with nothing to show for it." the Other said.
"Your sources say that she meant to betray us the whole time!" Ronan said with anger.
"Lower your tone! I may be your..."
Ronan angrily use his Cosmi-Rod to release some energy to snap the Other's neck, killing him, which surprises Nebula.
"I only ask that you take this matter seriously." Ronan said.
The throne suddenly turns to face Ronan, revealing a large Titanian who had purple skin and wearing armor. He is the powerful cosmic warlord Thanos. Thanos is referred to as the Dark Lord by his most loyal underlings and the Mad Titan by the galactic community and is one of the most powerful and feared warlords ruling over a distinct region of space and commands two massive armies. Thanos made a deal with Ronan that in exchange for the Orb, Thanos will help Ronan destroy Xandar. Thanos turns his throne to confront Ronan on not having the Orb.
"The only matter I do not take seriously, boy, is you. Your politics bore me. Your demeanor is that of a pouty child. And, apparently, you alienated my favorite daughter, Gamora. I shall honor our agreement, Kree, if you bring me the Orb. But return to me again empty-handed, and I will bathe the starways in your blood." Thanos threatened, striking fear in Ronan.
"Thanks, Dad, Sounds fair." Nebula said with disdain regarding Gamora as the favorite daughter. She gets up before walking away. "This is one fight you won't win. Let's head to the Kyln." Nebula said to Ronan.
Ronan looks at Thanos one more time, before he leaves, as Thanos sits back on his throne and smiles.
Well, looks like Daranak and Salzer are gonna help Peter, Gamora, Rocket and Groot out with the Orb situation, risking their lives with treason. And now here's the first DPxMCU full appearance of Thanos. As you all know, he has already appeared briefly in the post-credit scene chapters of GHOSTLY AVENGER and GHOSTLY AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON and was mentioned as well. Thanos will definitely be a tough opponent for Daranak and Salzer Nova, as well as Danny and Dani Phantom and the rest of Team Phantom, and obviously the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Avengers, in Infinity War. Anyway, how will Daranak and Salzer help with the escape? Find out in the next chapter. Please review. :)
