As soon as Danny walked through the door, Jazz seemed to appear as if she had ghost powers of her own. Of course these weren't the 'regular' ghost powers, but the 'overly- protective, smart and mature' older sister powers. Their specialty: sensing little brothers.

"Danny… We need to talk." said Jazz.

The sudden image as Vlad's equal haunted his brain and Danny simply raised his hand "There's nothing to talk about."

With a sympathetic look from his sister, Danny stormed upstairs and entered the sanctuary of his messy room. Frustrated with himself "Gaahhh….why didn't I just forgive her!" Danny landed on his back on the familiar blue comforter. Exhaustion began to creep its way in, and soon enough, he was asleep.

Danny Phantom was floating through the ghost zone. Everything, oddly, was silent. No moans or groans, just the familiar purple doors. It seemed that Danny was on automatic pilot, for he was going at a rapid pace towards an unknown destination. Somehow he did not feel like himself, as if he were in another body. Eventually Clockwork's Tower came into view and Danny Phantom entered the lair of time.

"Clockwork! What's going on" said Phantom. But the master of time did not reply, instead he muttered the same words over and over again barely in a whisper "Coming back, coming back, coming back, coming back…"

Suddenly a swirling of green caught the attention of the halfa and one of the Ancient Ghosts appeared and with a deep voice that rumbled through the tower it said:

"She of spirit, Orysis

Her of body, the thorn of blood,

Both are needed.

The heir rises with power but must hide for victory.

The One shall choose his fate.

Phantoms and ghosts unite together,

Until the defeat of reign.

The One shall rise to power,

Or perish like that of his enemy."

Suddenly the hood of the Ancient Ghost came down and Danny Phantom was met with the malevolent cackle of a young spirit. Her hair was pure white, her eyes ablaze red with no mercy. Her teeth were pointed into sharp fangs that glinted white. "Kill him." She hissed.

Danny Fenton woke with a start. "Phew! Just a dream, just a dream…" he said slightly panting. A noise was then heard by his door. He sat up just in time to see a single piece of paper pushed underneath. Walking over, he picked it up and it read:

Danny,

I'm sorry. I know I've done this before and I promised to stop. I can't help being over-protective. I mean, you are the only brother I got! Sometimes we just have outbursts that don't really mean anything. Remember that I love you,

Love your hopefully forgiven sister,

Jazz

A small smile met Danny's face and just as he was about to turn the knob to his door to talk to his sister, the familiar cold sensation was felt inside his body until he began to see his own breath. Does my ghost sense have to go off right now! He raced towards the window to see if it was anything fretting over.

At first nothing came into view, everything seemed peaceful, until he saw the familiar white cape and whacked hair of his arch nemesis. "Plasmius." Danny muttered. He saw him disappear into the woods surrounding Amity Park's Park before two rings of light appeared at his waist. "Great! Another late night, just what I need!" said Danny grumpily as he flew towards the park.

Jazz, on the other hand, was waiting outside her brother's room for a response. Knock knock, knock. "Danny are you in there?" She entered the room to find it empty. About to give up, she caught something out of the corner of her eye, a white blur. She quickly went over to the window to see Danny Phantom heading towards the park and the woods.

"I don't have to help, but I can at least keep an eye on him." She ran down stairs grabbing her coast and flew out the door towards her car.


"What could Vlad want this time!" exclaimed Danny. The woods were thinning out and soon enough he came to a clearing where it seemed to be a forgotten cemetery.

How ironic, leave it to Vlad to set up a scene.

Apparently his question was heard because soon enough, infamous Vlad Plasmius appeared. "What I have always wanted Daniel, the perfect half-ghost son."

"Wait, you're still trying to clone me? Will you EVER give UP! I will NEVER be your son!" Danny screamed with such rage it even spooked Vlad but only for a matter of seconds. Danny threw an ectoplasmic blast towards his direction, but Vlad simply teleported a few inches away.

"Where are your lackeys anyway? Aren't they ones who usually get the job, or should I say try to get the job done." said Danny folding his arms with a smirk.

"No, I have come alone. I have realized that they are not much use to me. They always seem to fail when I need them most. So, I have decided to take matters into my own hands" said Vlad finishing it off with an evil grin.

Danny wiggled his fingers "Ooooo…scary. Are you sure you can handle that old man?" Danny tried once more to shoot an ectoplasmic beam but was once again easily dodged.

"I- AM- NOT- AN- OLD- MAN! Daniel, please! Because of your unwilling to be my perfect hybrid son, I have started my cloning procedures again. Rebuilding my lab was not easy after YOU DESTROYED- IT! Now I have finally figured a way out to get the last DNA sample without much difficulty. That's all I need, just a little sample from your heart."

Danny cringed "my heart!?! Uhh… ew!"

"Less talk Daniel, more action." With that said, Vlad blasted a pink ghost ray straight towards Danny. However, like Plasmius, he easily dodged it. Danny flew up and swung in for a punch, but was intercepted by Vlad taking hold of his arm.

Danny was swung around and round before Plasmius finally let go, and he plummeting into the ground below. As soon as the dust began to disappear Vlad was on top of the already weakened Danny.

Multiple Vlad's came and punched him from all sides causing him to scream in pain. Suddenly the Vlads pinned him to the ground, but were still struggling to keep him there.

"HOLD STILL!" Vlad exclaimed with frustration at the squirming boy.

The main Vlad then took out a contraption that was sleek with shiny metal and at the tip was a venomously green needle point. At this time, Danny desperately wanted to get out of the grips of his enemy.

"Why can't you get a cat like a 'normal person'!" grunted Danny.

"I said HOLD STILL!" Vlad yelled. Yeah like I'm going to do that so he can stick a freakin' needle in my heart… that, is just weird…

Trying to buy time Danny said "Oh that's right! I forgot, its because you're a crazed up fruit loop who has a crush on a woman, my mom to be exact, who has been happily married for…how many years has it been?"

This angered Vlad, but that little window of opportunity was all Danny needed. He rolled his feet up and kicked out which sent Plasmius flying. Vlad then became one.

"Wow, who ever would have known that Technus was right about something. Distracting your opponents with emotions is very effective." Danny said praising himself.

"AAAAAAHHHH!!!" Danny screamed in agony. Vlad smirked in triumph as he continued to shock Danny with the Plasmius Maximus. The two familiar rings of light appeared by Danny Phantom and he quickly reverted back to Danny Fenton. Losing his power to fly, he fell from the air and crashed into the ground. Now on his knees, Danny looked up to see Vlad above him.

"Too much ranting Daniel, I thought you would have learned that from your enemies by now." He then punched Danny square in the face, flattening him to the ground. Flipping him over and aiming the needle point at its target, Danny was about to give hope when a familiar voice filtered the air.

"Get away from my little brother you creep!" Jazz Danny thought, relief swept over him.

Unsuspecting any visitor, Vlad hesitated but was soon met face to face with the Anti- Creep stick. With all her might, Jazz drove the bat and Vlad soared until he crashed against the dirt.

I never thought I'd be so thankful for a bat with the name 'Fenton' on it.

Danny mouthed to his sister "Thank you" while she mouthed back "Your welcome".

A groan was heard in the distance and Vlad Plasmius was once again on his feet coming towards the siblings.

"JAZZ! Get out of here!" Danny yelled. She did not need to hear the advice twice; Jazz sprinted off towards the gates of the cemetery.

Vlad coming closer with each step, Danny took a fighting stance even if he did not have ghost powers to defend himself. It was a hopeless match, but he was determined to win.

With a final grunt from Vlad, his enemy swung his arm back and threw with all his strength an enormous ball of ectoplasm. It was heading straight towards Danny.

Danny's bones were aching and his muscles seemed to cramp up every time he stayed still. His body was screaming to find peace. With the last of his strength and mostly of it being adrenaline pumping through his veins, Danny leaped out of the way. He rolled and flattened himself to the ground as the blazing pink ectoplasm blasted over. He sighed with relief.

A scream of a girl pierced the night; it was heard from a distance.

"No!" gasped Danny, and with much effort he lifted himself from the ground.

His eyes widened with fear and panic.

"JAZZ! NO!"
