So sorry O.O...Here! A Late Christmas present.
Keeping his eyes closed tightly with the blue prints in his hands, Danny opened one eye and glanced all around him. He became visible again, brushed the sweat off his brow with a 'phew' and said, "Don't know how I knew Vlad would do something this stupid but I'm glad I did. Now to get back to Frost Bite and Dani."
He shot up into the sky, racing towards home as quickly as he could. He was about five minutes away when a sudden pain exploded through his chest. He gasped, screamed and then fell straight down into the empty street. Danny, while holding the blue prints, clutched at his chest tightly and bit his tongue to keep from screaming again.
"What's going?", he asked in a panic. He tried to stand but the pain knocked him back down to his knees as he grimaced in agony. He finally, shaking and hardly able to be in control, stood up and flew towards his house. When he reached his home, went to the basement, Danny collapsed again onto the floor in front of the ghost zone portal. He took a deep breath and tried to stand up again but the more he moved the worse the pain got. He remembered that he felt something similar, not as extreme, when he was flying Dani to Frost Bite's lair.
"If this means parental pain, then my parents must be going insane by now with all this going on.", Danny bit hit lower lip, stood up and slowly made his way to the controls. When the portal opened, to Danny's dismay, a fleet of ghost burst out from it. He glared at the ghost as they flew off to cause a problem in his home town.
"I'll deal with all of you later.", he growled. He placed the blue prints in his shirt for safe keeping and then flew off towards Frost Bite's lair.

"Got any fives?", Tucker sighed. Sam threw her cards down, stood up, stomped her foot and glared at the ghost of time.
"We're going to help Danny with or without you! We won't let that happen to him!", she screamed at the ghost he was looking out towards the ghost zone in a trance like way. Tucker stood up and placed a hand on her shoulder to try to calm her.
"Fine. Go. If you would like to have your friend's death and that of a child's on your heads then by all means, leave. I much rather be left here alone just I have for many years. So go on, don't let me stop you. After all, teenagers know everything.", Clockwork said with nonchalance.
"Child? First you said clone now you say child? What is Dani?", Tucker said as he threw his arms in frustration.
"What she is means little to no difference to me, Tucker. It's Danny who needs to know what she is. I showed you his future if he chooses to keep her, but Dani has a choice in all of this as well, children. I showed you Danny's future for when he chooses to keep the ghost girl and as you can see it doesn't look good. But the ghost girl has a choice and a future as well. If she chooses him or if she doesn't is all up to her and not to you.", Clockwork said as he continued his transformation. Sam and Tucker glanced at each other with opened mouths.
"Well then show us Dani's future! Maybe we can fix all of this!", Tucker exclaimed.
Clockwork frowned and said, "Whether to show you or not lies with me and as such you don't have any right to command to see it. I won't show you her future because as of right now she isn't alive to have one. Even if I did have her future I wouldn't show it, you must learn to face the reality of things and hope for the best for your friend. Whether you like it or not Danny and Dani's future are now tied together until one decides on something the other does not. Thus changing the future and the course of their life."
The two friend looked at the aged ghost and then turned back to the screen to watch their friend, feeling hopeless.

"Frost Bite, I got what you asked for!", Danny panted as he flew into the ghost beast's lair. The bear wolf beast grabbed the ghost boy in a hug and exclaimed how joyous it was that he returned. Danny handed over the materials to Frost Bite and glanced quickly at Dani's still form.
"Now Danny, are you sure you want to do this?", Frost Bite said as he placed the gem into a one button remote he had sitting next to a monitor.
"I'm sure", Danny said with a tight nod. Frost Bite pointed over his shoulder and Danny glanced over him. He saw a table with straps on it as a beam was held over it. Danny galnaced at Frost Bite who nodded sadly.
"I need to strap you down because movement to great will ruin everything.", the ghost beast said sadly. Danny didn't reply but made his way towards the table. He laid flat on his back as Frost Bite strapped him down by his wrists, chest and ankles.

"Wait, what's Frost Bite doing?", Tucker asked as he watched the green, cloudy screen. Sam squinted and looked at the monitors. Both teenagers jumped back in horror as Frost Bite pressed a button on a remote which somehow made Danny start to scream and recoil in pain.
"Danny! No!", both screamed.

Danny thrashed and screamed in pain as he felt his body being ripped apart. His spin bent back, lifting him off the table and Danny screamed even louder as the pain got worse. His fist clenched and tightened as the pain seem to grow. He shook his head and tried to break free of the straps. Frost Bite stayed watch, but looked away to avoid seeing the pain going through Danny.
Just when Danny didn't think he could take anymore, it slowly began to fade away, but when he tried to move the pain would return. With his teeth bared, he took fast, panting breaths while he was sweating and shaking. To his horror, breathing made the pain last longer. Frost Bite glanced at Danny quickly but gasped when Dani start to glow slightly. Danny half opened his eye, while he continued his painful pants and watched as Dani's eyes squinted and blinked open. The young ghost girl coughed and rubbed her eyes. She looked around and gasped when she saw Frost Bite. She jumped into the air and stood in a fighting stance. Her hands started to glow and she bared her teeth.
"Where am I? Who are you? What am I doing here?", she fired at the ghost beast. Frost Bite didn't say anything but just stared at her with his jaw opened in shock. Dani quickly looked around and stopped at Danny.
The ghost boy lifted his head, winced while biting his tongue. Dani raised her eyebrow and looked away from Danny to look back at the ghost beast.
"As I said, who are you and where am I! You just wait until I get Vlad over here! I'm sure he'd love to have you as another test subject.", Dani said with a smirk.
"D-Dani?", Danny panted with a confused look. The ghost gilr shot him a look and raised her eyebrow again.
"And you are, mister?", She said with a quick glance towards Frost Bite.
"I-It's me! Danny! Remember?", Danny shouted while grimacing. Frost Bite glanced at the ghost boy as he struggled through the pain to get unlatched. The young ghost girl glared at the Danny and frowned.
"I don't know who you are mister, but one thing's for sure. It's really wierd we have the same name.", With that said, she stopped powering up and flew out the window without glancing back. Frost Bite rushed over to help Danny get untied. The ghost boy wrapped an arm around his waist and struggled to get to the window.
"Danielle! Come back!", he screamed out to the cold but he didn't see her anywhere. She vanished off into the ghost zone. Frost Bite placed a hand on his shoulder and sighed.
"Danny, she isn't really your child. You brought her back and lived. Be grateful for that, now please don't move or whatever damage has been done will get worse.", Frost Bite pleaded and tried to help him get steady. Danny, brushed him off and shook his head in disbelief.
"Nothing you or anyone can say can change my mind. Thank you for everything but I have to go and find her. Vlad is going to hurt her if I don't! You don't understand! You, Sam, Tucker, anyone! I'm going to protect her and save her from Vlad! Even if it's the last thing I ever do! Danielle!", Danny shouted as he panted and struggled to breathe. Danny took a step towards the door, then collapsed to the ground before Frost Bite could grab him.
O.O...I'm so mean to characters, aren't I?
