Vlad was sitting in his lab looking at his collection of clones. It was a stormy night and he didn't really feel like leaving his home for the day. He sighed and was about to leave the room when his ghost sense acted up. He looked around, ready to attack whatever it was that was near but he saw nothing. He gave the room a glare and proceeded to walk towards the exit. His ghost sense acted up once more and he transformed into his ghost self automatically.

"Show yourself!", he screamed into the room. He gasped when he saw Danielle carrying Danny who appeared to be knocked out. Vlad glared at the ghost girl as she approached him with a smile. Vlad huffed and threw plasma rays at Danielle. She gasped and dropped Danny to the ground. She dodges every attack and stared wide eyed at her creator.

"Dad! Stop! What are you doing! It's me, Danielle!", she shouted.

"I know very well who you are! What are you doing back you useless mistake!", Vlad yelled. Danielle gasped and had no choice but to aim back at him using her own plasma ray.

"Dad! Stop it! I came home and I brought back the other clone that got away! What is wrong with you?", she screamed. Vlad powered up another energy ball but froze. He squinted at the ground and saw that Danny was still knocked out. He looked back at Danielle and stopped powering up the plasma ray.

Danny groaned and felt as if he got hit by a truck. He blinked awake and tried to feel his head when his arm wouldn't move. He gasped and looked around him. He was strapped down to a table in someone's lab. He struggled to get lose to find Danielle when he heard a chuckle.

"Welcome back, Danny. Don't think I don't remember our little spat earlier.", came an annoying voice.

"Where's Danielle? Where's my daughter?", Danny practically growled to Vlad.

"Now Daniel, I have to know. What was that power surge you had when we battled? Hm? It was very powerful and something that would be of use to me.", Vlad grinned. A flash of lightning lightened up the lab even more and Danny gasped. All around him were knives and other tools that look like they were used in serious surgeries.

"I don't know what you're talking about! Now let me go, I have to find Danielle before anything-"

"Why does that clone worry so much about me? And did he just call me his daughter?", came a small voice. Danny gasped and watched as Danielle walked up to the table in her human form. Vlad patted her head and smiled.

"Oh no reason, child. This clone just needs to be taken apart and put back together to be able to function properly."

"We have to go save him! C'mon, Tucker!", Sam shouted as she grabbed his hand to run towards the ship. Clockwork flew in front of the teens and frowned.

"I told you. You are both to stay here and let Danny make his own choices without you.", the ghost of time said grimly.

"But he's in trouble we have-"

"No, Sam. I think Clockwork is right. This is between Danny and Danielle. We can't help him make choices in life all the time. This is just one of those moments where we all gotta deal with something by ourselves.", Tucker said placing a hand on her shoulder. Sam yanked herself away from him and glared.

"Don't tell me you let Clockwork's stupid logic into your own brain! He's our friend! It's our job to help him and show him what's right. We have to help him, Tucker.", Sam shouted with tears forming.

"I care about Danny just as much as you do! I'm just agreeing with Clockwork on this one! He needs to do this alone! What can we do? He won't listen to us! Sam, please just trust me on this. Trust Clockwork. Trust Danny that he'll make the right choice!", Tucker shouted back.

Clockwork again ignored the teens as they argued as he watched out for Danny.

"I'm not a clone! Danielle, listen to me-!", Danny shouted as the table began to lift and a mechanical arm reached out for a knife. Vlad watched as his machine was about to rip Danny apart.

"Please, Danielle! You've got to remember me! Vlad didn't want you! He wanted to get rid of you when I came and saved you! Remember!", Danny shouted. He looked up and gasped. The robotic arms all had an instrument and were about to get to work.

"What is he talking about? Dad, you wouldn't get rid of me, right?", Dani said in a small scared voice. She looked up at her creator and Vlad smiled.

"Of course not my dear. As I said this clone is damaged so I have to fix him.", he patted her head and looked back towards the struggling teenager.

A laser blade came on and moved down Danny's arm. The ghost boy screamed and thrashed around to try to escape. Danielle gasped and covered her ears. Her memory of being 'ripped apart' didn't remember it being painful. She remembered Vlad saying that the process may tickle being as she was made of plasma but it wouldn't cause pain. It didn't hurt at all and she would wake up feeling better than before, even more powerful at times. Something was wrong and she didn't know what.

"Dad, why is he screaming like that? It's not supposed to hurt!", she screamed trying to get Vlad to look at her.

"Danielle! Enough questions! Now go to your room and wait for me to come back upstairs!", Vlad yelled pointing towards the exit.

Danny screamed even louder when the laser blade sliced through his muscle in his arm. His human blood became exposed and it dripped around his arm on the table. Splotches of it hit the floor and Dani noticed. Her eyes went wide and she gasped. Clones don't bleed.

"He's not a clone! He's a human!", Danielle screamed. She shot up into the air going ghost and zoomed towards Danny. Vlad grabbed her by the ankle and flung her to the book case.

"Listen to me! You are correct that ins't a clone but trust me Danielle! This is for you! That is who you are cloned from!", Vlad shouted.

Danielle rubbed her head and looked up at the table. Danny continued screamed and she again covered her ears to try to drown it out. Vlad walked up to her and frowned.

"You are still unstable and are the only clone that have survived. For you to continue to live I must continue using Danny as a donor. In this case I need his muscle tissue. Haven't you noticed you lack in most strength? His muscle tissue will help you get stronger and more powerful.", Vlad smiled. Danielle frowned and looked up at her creator. She nodded and rushed out the room to keep from hearing Danny's screams.

Vlad flew up to the table and smirked. He watched as the machine took a muscle sample as Danny bared his teeth to keep from screaming. Vlad patted the teen's head and smiled.

"Thank you for your contribution for my clone, young Daniel. Now of course I can't let you leave here now that I have you weakened and helpless. So, enjoy your stay here. It won't be long until you are too weak to do much of anything.", Vlad took the muscle sample and placed it in a test tube. He left the lab as Danny was sewed back up by the machine.

Danielle sat on her bed with her head in her hands. Her head perked up when she heard a knock at the door. Vlad came in with a test tube and Dani raised an eyebrow.

"Come, child. I have the sample and now I will be able to give you a little more strength. It won't be much but it'll be just enough until I can get Danny weak enough to give you more.", Vlad walked out the room with Dani following. Something about this didn't feel right to her.

0000

Danny blinked away the tears and looked out towards the window. The stormy night became a stormy morning. His time was running out. He now only had 2 days to convince Danielle she now shared his soul and that he needed to reach ths soul they shared in order to live. But doing that was easier said than done.

"I don't even know how to reach the part of me that's now in her..", he mumbled. He heard the lab door opened and heard foot steps. He closed his eyes pretending be unconscious as his other senses took over.

"Now, Danielle. You stay there as I make this into a plasma your body can use. It's going to hurt a little bit but I promise you will feel stronger than you do now.", chuckled Vlad's voice. Danny turned his head and saw a human Dani sitting on a lab table similar to the one he was laying.

Danielle turned her head to look at him and frowned. She didn't say anything but just continued to stare at the ghost boy. Danny grimaced and reached out towards her as best as he could with whatever space the bindings gave him to move.

"Danielle...trust me. He's not helping you.", Danny gasped. Danielle blinked and looked away to try to ignore him. Danny huffed and collapsed fully against the table. He felt someone squeeze his hand and he looked over at Dani. She stared at him and frowned.

"I don't know who you are but I'm sorry you're hurt. Even though I get to be stronger in the end but still. That looked like it really hurt.", she let go of his hand and walked back to her seat to wait for Vlad.

"I'm your dad, Dani.", Danny said said through his teeth. Danielle's emotionless expression turned into a frown. She shot a glared at Danny and jumped up.

"Stop it! You are not my dad! I'm so tired of hearing you say that! I'm Vlad's creation! So that makes him my dad!", she shouted. She went ghost and hovered over Dany. Vlad walked in with a syringe and noticed Danielle's anger. A thought came to mind. He smirked and watched.

"You're probably a test dad did for me to see if I can be just as powerful as him and to not be fooled by lies.", Danielle shouted. Danny blinked and was about to say something when Vlad laughed.

"Well my dear you seem to have gotten the idea a head of time! Good job, Danielle. You can see right through my little tricks.", Vlad laughed. Danielle gasped and turned towards her creator.

"So this is a test?", Danielle asked.

Vlad nodded and motioned her towards the table where she sat before. She floated towards him and waited for him to inject her. He cleaned up her arm but spoke while doing so.

"You are correct my dear. That human there is a test. He of course is in fact a necessary donor to you to get stronger but of course humans are such terrible liars. You saw right through them like a good little girl. I'm so proud!", Vlad gave a fake laugh and injected the muscle sample into her arm. She winced but listened, Danny didn't speak but he listened none the less.

"Now my dear when this sample gets fully settled into your system you are to battle your donor. If you're donor is weaker than you are that means the samples I have given you before are working at perfection. Now being as I have just given you a muscle sample you will be even more stronger. Once you have defeated my little test the final ingredient I need to make you perfect should make itself known.", Vlad said as he placed her sleeve back down her arm and patted her head.

"And what would that be?", Danielle asked curiously.

"His dark energy. I have witnessed what it can do and my dear that looks like a valuable piece of weaponry.

"You have to make him angry. Do what you must. Destroy anything and harm anyone you can to make him angry. I need that dark energy for mysel-I, er, mean, you. I need that for you in order for you to be a powerful alie. Do what you need to do and trust me my dear it will be worth it.", Vlad laughed evilly and walked out of the room with an eager Danielle following. She looked back at Danny and gave a smug grin before slamming the door.

Danny's jaw dropped and he struggled to get free. He didn't know what was going to happen to him but he knew it couldn't be good.

I'm trying to write the 3-4 chapters that have been saved away in a folder. Just cleaning them up :) So expect a few updates here and there now.
