Okay, sorry for not updating for a while but I've been working on the story Matchmaker Matchmaker, which is a humor story also based on Vlad. ends blatant advertising of own story
We practically sprinted to Maddie's house. I told Maddie that this would probably be the first place Daniel would go, and she didn't ask why. I was extremely grateful for that, because I didn't know how I would explain to her that her son was going to try and split himself in half.
There was a very ominous scorch mark on the door. In fact, the door itself was on the ground. We ran inside and down to the lab.
The whole place was trashed. Even more than it was after I had first been split from my ghost half. Almost every invention was shattered, and the walls looked like they were going to cave in on us. Several blast marks lined the walls, and some of them were very big.
"What happened?" Maddie said. I continued looking around. There was only one device that was still in one piece, and that was Daniel's computer.
"Maddie, check every where else in the house. I'll check under the debris here." She nodded and left. I walked over to the computer and saw that there was something on the screen. It was a note.
Dear Vladdie,
If you're reading this than that means you have discovered the destroyed basement of the Fenton household. A good villain should never reveal his plans to the hero of the story, because that allows the hero to beat the villain. But since we're practically brothers I'll give you a hint. Check the boy's private ghost files and look for the one made of two.
Well, I've got to go do evil stuff now so seeya later Vladinator!
The one made of two? I clicked on an icon that matched Daniel's emblem. To my surprise it was already logged in, and didn't ask for a password. That was never a good sign.
I stared at the screen and looked through the list of names. I saw several ghosts that I knew, and a few I did not. Clockwork was one of the ghosts I had never met, and resisted the urge to read his file. I didn't have time to do that.
There was also a file on me. I would have to look at that later. But then I wondered about it. I had been a halfa. Wouldn't that mean I was one made of two? I clicked on the file and saw a picture of myself. Then the picture changed into a picture of my ghost form. How did he even get these? They looked like mug shots. I started reading.
When I first met Vlad, he seemed nice enough. He seemed to just be forgetful when he slammed the door in Dad's face. Then he started hitting on mom! Jazz didn't care, all she wanted to do was get out of the RV. Later that night my ghost sense went off, so I changed into my ghost form and found vultures attacking my dad! Just as I had saved him and was about to fight the vultures they ran away, and I turned around to see this evil looking ghost.
It turned out the ghost was Vlad, and he beat me and found out that I was a halfa too. I woke up in my bed, still not realizing that Vlad was the other ghost. How I got back in bed I don't ever want to think about. Vlad, the fruitloop, came into my room and acted innocent! The next day was the reunion, and Vlad was there acting just as friendly as the night before.
He told me that he had a present for my father in his lab, and when I went up to get it I was captured by Skulker. Vlad came in and told me he was a halfa, and the crazy guy wanted me to denounce my dad!
As I read what he had typed about me I felt worse and worse. I really was evil. It continued on for several pages, describing all I had ever done. I wanted to stop reading but I continued anyway, hoping for a clue. Finally I came down to this.
Vlad is truly insane. Daniel wrote. Can you believe that he actually tried to clone me? How can someone be so desperate? He even had a hologram of my mom! When I went back in time and accidentally made it so he was married to my mom, he didn't have ghost powers and he was still evil! The creep tried to kill me and my dad when he found out that mom hunted ghosts. He got what he deserved though.
What bothers me the most about Vlad was that even when he lost everything he still was evil. When I was sent into the future and I met him, he didn't have ghost powers, my mom and dad were dead, and all he had to do was get the medallion out of me so that I could go back in time and stop my evil half. At the last moment he turned on me and tried to destroy me! Fortunately for me he only managed to knock the medallion out and I was teleported back into the past.
There was still more but I didn't read it. Danny had been to the future and the past? He had an evil half? My head spun in confusion. Something that Daniel had said came back to me. "Besides, your ghost half was what corrupted my ghost half and created Dan…"
When he had said that I had been confused, because I hadn't remembered ever splitting from my ghost half before. But Daniel had been to the future. He had written that I hadn't had my ghost half when he met me… could Daniel have seen this coming? Had he known all along that I was going to do this? Or was this something completely different?
I had to find out more about this Dan person.
I clicked back to the list of ghosts and looked through the files. None of them said Dan, or Evil Half, or anything like that. I was about to give up when I saw a file that said, 10. The number seemed out of place. There wouldn't be a ghost named ten… I clicked on the file.
There was no picture. It was just words.
Ten years from now, I would have been the strongest ghost in existence. But the power came with a price. Sam, Tucker, Jazz, my mom, and dad, even Mr. Lancer…they were all dead… Because of me. After they died I would have gone to stay at Vlad's mansion. He wanted to help me, so he split my ghost half from my human half. My ghost half must have wanted revenge, because it turned on Vlad and ripped his ghost half from him. I'm not sure what happened next. Maybe my ghost half just wanted to be whole. It fused with Vlad's ghost half and became evil. Very evil. It killed my human half and destroyed Vlad's mansion.
After that it became powerful, and ten years later the ghost destroyed Amity Park. Apparently it had been working on the rest of the world before that. I came to the future through a portal in Clockwork's castle and my evil half tried to kill Sam and Tucker…
It continued, describing Daniel's struggle against his ghost half. The last words he wrote made my blood freeze.
I wrote this so that I would never forget. If I did, it would almost surely happen again. The world would be doomed forever because of me… and Vlad.
So my ghost half had been a part of the most powerful ghost in existence? I closed my eyes, going over thoughts in my head. Daniel didn't want to be a halfa. My ghost half somehow knew about this and wanted to fuse with Daniel's ghost half… and I was sitting here reading about it.
I stood and turned, and came face to face with Maddie. Her eyes were wide, too wide. I suddenly felt a chill edge into my heart. She must have been standing behind me reading over my shoulder most of the time. "Maddie…" I didn't know what to say. She knew everything now. The truth.
"You… Danny… ghosts…" her eyes rolled up into her head and she passed out on the floor.
There, I did it. Maddie now knows just how much trouble Danny is in.
