AU Note: Sorry about the lost update. I just got accepted into a travel soccer league and I had to get around the swim stuff. Plus this being my first year of high school I'm just getting used to my new school. Enjoy about 5 more chapters to go!

Maddie and Ember opened the steel door and stumbled into the security room. The place looked a mess! Dog cages were lying around broken and battered. Papers were all over the place and smears of green and red blood were upon the walls.

"What happened here?" asked Ember in an awe whispered. Maddie shushed Ember and told her to listen.

"I hear footsteps." She frowned and pointed Ember to one side of the door and planted herself on the other. The footsteps grew louder and louder while Maddie's heart beat faster.

Thump. Thump.

The footsteps stopped at its loudest and the handle of the door started to turn…

TH-THUMP. TH-THUMP. TH-THUMP.

The door opened and the two figures entered.

"NOW!"

The two dog-piled the two strange figures and Maddie took out her gun while Ember's hands glowed pink with her guitar pick at hand.

"Freeze!" she cried.

"Mom?"

"Jazz?"

"Honey?"

"Jack?"

"Uhh suspire?" said Ember almost smirking.

The two figures happen to be Jack and Jazz with Jack at the bottom. They firmly embraced in a group hug.

"Thank God we found you honey." Jack said. A couple of scratches were upon his body and face but he still had that innocent glint in his eyes. Jazz however looked like she had been crying for a long time.

"Sweetie what's wrong?" Maddie asked. She put the thought of telling them she's half ghost at the back of her mind.

"Bear trap." She muttered and showed her left leg which was covered in blood.

"We tried to clean it up but every time we thought it was safe something happens to us." Jack replied.

"Where's Danny?" Jazz asked brushing her long red hair back.

Tears started to form in Maddie's eyes again. She told them of what happened throughout her adventure safe from Danny and Maddie's secret.

"We have to save Danny from those evil ghosts!" cried Jack standing up.

"Only one problem" Ember said. This was the first time she spoke in the past 15 minutes. "We have no clue where he is."

Maddie frowned once again while Jazz and Jack talked again. Finally she shook each of them and shushed them.

"Something's coming." She whispered. This time she heard clicks instead of footsteps. Almost like…dogs.

"You got weapons everyone?" she asked the group. They all nodded and took them out. Jazz had a small ghost gun and an army knife, Jack had his ghost gauntlets which suited good for human and ghost things alike.

"Ready? GO!" Maddie kicked opened the door and started to shoot to her left. To her success she shot a wolf like creature with bony wings. About five more showed up to her left and about seven to her right.

Everyone was busy taking care of the dogs as each one died. Jack bashed one and broke its neck effortlessly. Jazz shot a couple before turning around and quickly stabbing one trying to pounce on her. Unfortunately it landed on her and it was too heavy to move.

"A little help!" she screamed. Ember seemed to be the only one to hear her and phased her through the dog.

"You're Ember McLain." She whispered in awe. At first she noticed but it seemed too good to be true.

"Got that right dipstick." She replied smirking. Ember turned around and pulled a loud chord sending about three wolves back into a wall.

Maddie was doing fine until she felt a strange pain in her chest. No she thought it was happening again. But this time it was way worse. The rings of light started to appear as the last wolf died and went their separate ways. Jack shook his head saying no while Jazz frowned and started to think deeply of her questions. Ember just shook her head and sighed as Maddie Angel was now on the floor.

Words weren't even spoken for about a minute. Everyone was too wrapped up and couldn't even think of what to say. Maddie was now shaking beyond belief shaking her head as tears forcefully dripped from her now green eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm so, so sorry! Please, just let me explain. It's still me! Please…" she threw her hands down on to the ground in frustration and confusion. "Don't hurt me please!"

Instead of the cold harsh words, or the blasts that tattooed her nightmares and thoughts she felt several arms and bodies wrap around her. Opening her eyes carefully her husband and daughter were there hugging her instead of killing her. Was this possible? Was this true? Did they accept her?

"Were not going to do that." Jack spoke first; instead of a childish voice it was serious and solemn. "We love you for who you are not what you are."

"You're my mom. How could I do that to you?" Jazz whispered feeling tears prick up in her eyes. No she had to be strong for her mom. This was what happened to Danny and she had to be there for her mom because she was going through the exact same thing.

"Thank you. Thank you so much." Maddie whispered smiling and crying at the same time. These tears were happy ones as they trickled down her face and felt her light blue hair cling to the wet skin.

"Alright! Can we cut the mushy stuff?" Ember finally cried putting a hand on her hip. "We still gotta find dipstick and frankly I do not want to stay here any longer that I have to."

"That reminds me." Jazz said standing up. "You're a ghost too arnt you?"

"Yea, your point?"

"Just wondering that and thank you. I know you have been helping my mom and brother out. I just want to let you know that I and my dad are grateful for that."

Ember McLain was a little taken back by what the teen said. Usually she would be frowned upon or just blasted away but they were actually glad for her? This wasn't normal she thought slowly. After years of having a cold heart, she finally felt some warmth fill it a little. The once hatred was wearing away like rocks on a beach. Maybe there was more to life than revenge and her music. Just maybe…

"Uh, yea you're welcome." Ember replied nodding.

"So, how did this happen anyway?" Jazz asked looking over at Maddie. Maddie sighed and begun to tell the story.

"I started to go look for Danny and…"

The story was finally finished after ten full minutes and that left the others just shell shocked. They had explored a number or rooms but most of them were empty. Finally after walking down a hall where dust and ash covered everything, they finally heart a distant but definitely audible voice.

"Stupid fruit loop! You're not going to get away with this!"

"Danny!" Maddie gasped rushing down the hall with others trailing behind.

"Mom wait! It could be a trap." Shouted Jazz, limping and running but had to stop. Ember growling ran up to her and pulled the halfa back.

"Are you insane? We have to see what or who is guarding Danny first. Besides what if he's in his ghost form? The last thing these guys need is him being exposed more."

"I need to make sure he's alright." Maddie whispered narrowing her eyes. Cracking open the door she found herself in a factory-like room. Metal coated everything in the room as platforms stood around her and below them. Machines rumbled silently but their presence was known. It was nearby the machine that the black haired halfa was chained to the wall struggling to break free. In front of him was a man with long white hair tied back in a pony tail. The business suit that he wore gave Maddie exactly whom was hurting her son.

"Vlad Masters!" she hopped down and swiftly had a glowing hand wrapping around his throat. "Let my son go now!"

"Ah, Maddie so good to see you again. Although I wouldn't expect to see you in this form but nether less you are here! I would love to let your son go although I would be breaking Saddler's promise so I afraid I have to reject my love."

"Love? You bastard I can kill you right here!" snarled Maddie squeezing tighter to prove her point. To her surprise black rings appeared and where once stood Vlad Masters was Vlad Plasmisus.

"Now am I your love?" he sent a chill down Maddie's spine as he slipped from her grasp. He looked up and smiled. "Ah, Lord Saddler. Here is the boy as I promised but why turn her into one of us?"

Maddie swiftly looked upwards behind her and saw the same greasy man that was in charge of the whole scheme. With a glint of evil in his eyes he spoke with the heavy accent dripping from his every word.

"I had to expose her to the power. Besides don't you want a powerful wife along with your powerful land?"

Maddie cut through with deep anger. "Wife? I already have a husband thank you very much and I have a bone to pick with you! You killed innocent people! I'll make sure you pay for that!"

"Nah, wait Mrs. Fenton don't you want your son safe or shall I just take him? Vlad, you know she will not survive from this virus but I'm thankful for your accomplishment of the task so I will give you the land and have her with you."

Vlad's expression grew serious. "What do you mean virus? I thought this was power?"

Saddler sighed and shook a finger. "Well, technically what I gave you is a virus but you enjoy the power yes?"

Vlad growled. "Are you saying that you-" He stopped and his eyes glazed over as he nodded to Saddler commands?

"Now my little puppet you shall destroy Mrs. Fenton and her group and report back to me once they are dead are we clear?"

"Crystal." He muttered in a drone and his once deep red eyes had cat like slits in them sending more chills up Maddie's spine.

"Mom! Get me out of here so I can take care of him." Danny called but Maddie shook her head.

"Let me deal with him honey. Listen, your farther, Jazz and Ember are up over there waiting for you. Do whatever you have to get out of here or figure out how to get out of here. I will deal with Vlad and Saddler here myself."

"NO! Please mom! I can do this! Trust me!" his china blue eyes pleaded for a chance and Maddie sighed. He was a halfa longer than herself and he could take care of herself.

"Can you turn into a ghost?"

"Yes."

"Alright but I will deal with Vlad, can you get Saddler?"

A pause stood in the air thicking until Danny nodded.

"He's a goner."

Maddie smirked and said her last words to him.

"Please be careful."

After Danny ran out with Ember trailing behind the halfa heroine faced what was about to be a very interesting battle. Slowly she started to fly and hope for the best out of the battle. The only reply was Vlad growling and animal behavior and he jumped.

This is going to take awhile thought Maddie tiredly before making the first attack.
