Can't think of anything to say. -.-'' Enjoy chapter 10: Found by a Fruitloop!

Skulker grinned. Bring out his rocket wings, he blasted off towards Plasmius' lab, but he couldn't use them at full speed because that would raise questions for the others looking for the Whelp.

If he wasn't a hunter he would understand why Plasmius wanted the Ghost Kid, after all his power level was far stronger then a ghost's power level would be for only being 'alive' for two years.

Yes the Whelp was powerful, which is why he had wanted him in his collection. Seeing as that didn't work he went after his pelt in stead, but that seems to fail every time too, but he wasn't going to just stop hunting.

The only other that could get their hands on the Whelp beside him was Plasmius, and it would seem that will be very soon.

Floating into Plasmius' lab he looked around for the older halfa. "Plasmius?"

Coming through the 'roof' Vlad stood in front of Skulker in his human form's pajamas, and annoyed look on his face.

"Blast it, Skulker, its one in the morning! What is it?" Vlad says as he rubes his forehead.

"I might have found the Whelp, Plasmius." Skulker states.

That perked Vlad's interest.

"Where?" He asked harshly.

"The Forbidden Region, I only got it for a moment but I believe what ever is hiding the Whelp, isn't anymore." Skulker says grinning.

Vlad nods. "Good work Skulker, return there and if you pick it up again call me on your communicator."

Skulker nodded and left through the portal.

Vlad smiled evilly. "I finally found you, little Badger."

Danny woke up and yawned, sitting up he popped a few bones.

Moving to the restroom across from the closet, he took a quick shower and everything else and came back out after he had fazed the water off.

Getting up he grabbed the cloak he had now come accustom to and draped it over his shoulders, he didn't worry about putting the hood up yet because he wasn't out side yet.

Humming as he decided to walk to meet Clockwork, he made his way down the twisting halls and soon came to the Time Screen Room as he had name.

Walking in Danny found Clockwork fiddling with his staff. "Hey, dad."

Clockwork looked up and smiled, it looked a bit forced but Danny shook that thought off. After all why would he have any reason not to trust his dad?

In the back of his mind a tickle of foreboding began to build up.

Pushing it away Danny looked around a bit awkwardly. "So…What am I going to do today?"

"Why don't you go see your sisters and Thomas?" Clockwork says.

"Sure. No training or anything today?" Danny looked at him curiously.

Clockwork shakes his head. "Not today, just enjoy your self with your sisters and be safe."

For some reason the tickle had turned into a slightly bigger leak when Clockwork had told him to 'be careful'.

"Okay…Well see you later then?" Danny asks slowly.

Clockwork nodes mutely.

Floating away Danny almost could have sworn Clockwork had said; 'Please forgive me,' but put it as his imagination.

Just before opening the door he flipped his hood up.

Opening the door then closing it behind him he floated away at a steady pace. Honestly he had come to like the Ghost Zone, it green and purple swirls in the air was hypnotizing, and every door looked beautiful because every door was different.

As Danny got to Writer's the foreboding feeling had became so big that he felt a bit twitchy, his eyes moving back and forth as he hurried to get to his family and hopefully where his nerves will calm down.

Finally getting in side he pushed down his hood with a breath of relief. "You're becoming far to paranoid for your own good, Danny."

He laughed when he realized he was talking to him self and decided to find his sisters, and maybe soon brother-in-law.

"Danny!" A voice soon cries after a few minutes of searching, as a blur of black and white smashed into him.

Danny grunted as he landed on his butt with his little sister sitting happily on his lap. "Hey to you too, Danni."

Jazz strolled up with a warm smile. "Hey, little Brother."

Danny chuckled as Jazz helped him up with Danni still hanging from his waist. He pushed her up so she wouldn't fall and balanced her on his hip as he gave the oldest sibling of the trio a side-ways hug.

"How have you guys been?" Danny asked.

"Great! I got to read Moby Dick; it's a really good story!" Danni says excitedly.

Danny smiled. "Congrats, sis! What about you, Jazz?"

Jazz blushed as light green, which all full ghosts did since they had ecto-plasm and not blood. "Me and Writer had our second date last night, we mostly read poetry and talked."

Danny raised a suggestive eyebrow. "And nothing else?"

Jazz swatted his shoulder, the one that Danni's head wasn't on as she was laughing, and gave him a weak glare. "Yes, I'm sure there is nothing else."

Danny raised his free hand in surrender. "Ok, just checking."

Writer walked in and he gave a nod and smile to Danny. "It's nice to see you, Phantom."

Danny sighed in aggravation. "It's just Danny, Writer. Or do you want me to call you, Thomas?"

Writer's nose wrinkled in distaste as the name, but nodded. "Fine I'll stop calling you Phantom, even if it is your name."

"Thomas is your name too." Danny shots back.

"How you even learned that is beyond me." Writer sighs.

"Take a guess." Danny says teasingly with a smirk.

"Clockwork." Writer says in annoyance.

"Yep." Danny states proudly as he popped the 'p'.

Writer sighs. "Anyway, what are you doing here? Don't you normally train with Clockwork in the mornings and nights?"

Danny shrugged. "For some reason Clockwork decided that I just take the day off."

Writer looked at him for a moment before shrugging and waving good bye as he moved on to take out books and rearrange them.

Once they were alone Danny turned back to his sister and looked at them closely. "Have you guys had a foreboding feeling too?"

They were watching him just as closely as he was them, they nodded.

Danny sighed. "And I was hoping it was just me being paranoid."

"Maybe it is. Maybe we are just on edge for nothing." Danni says slowly.

They all sat there in silence for a moment.

Skulker watched the hooded ghost closely, it had the same height as the Ghost Child. He had caught glimpse of white hair and green eyes when it moved it head back and forth, it was watching for something.

He was sure it was the Ghost Child.

He followed a little longer till he saw where the Whelp was going, it was Ghost Writer's lair. Getting one last look at the hooded halfa as the door closed he pressed a button and Plasmius face appeared on the screen of the PDA on his wrist.

"Yes, Skulker?" Vlad says.

"I found the Whelp. He has been hiding between the Forbidden Region and the Ghost Writer's lair." Skulker reports.

"Hmm, I didn't know Daniel was friends with the Ghost Writer.' Vlad says. 'Never mind, wait until I am there, then we get Daniel."

"Yes, Plasmius." Skulker says as he shut down the call.

Waiting only 20 minutes Skulker and Plasmius was soon just wait for Danny to come back out.

I have you now, Daniel, and there is no where to hide, Vlad thinks evilly. Checkmate, my little Badger.

After waiting another half hour, Daniel returned and was soon leaving. After he had given someone inside a hug he turned around and flipped his hood on, though it didn't do much to hide his face it still gave his face some shadowing.

They followed as Danny headed in the direction of the Forbidden Region. Skulker looked over to Vlad for the signal and he nodded.

"Hello, Whelp." Skulker says out too the boy only a few feet in front of them.

(^V^V^V^V^V^V^V^V-Line Break-^V^V^V^V^V^V^V)

Danny stiffened at the voice. Please don't let it be him, please don't let it be him!

Turning slowly he faced something worst then he thought, not only was Skulker there…but Vlad too!

Vlad grinned, showing off his fangs. "Hello, little Badger."

Danny glared at the older halfa as he tried to reach for his gear pendent to see why it wasn't working.

Only to find it wasn't there.

Danny gasped softly as he looked down to try to find it, but found in vain it was no where to be seen.

"Where did you get the new outfit, Daniel?" Vlad asks, pulling Danny from his shock.

Danny glared at him hatefully. "Like I would tell you Fruitloop."

Vlad put a hand to his chest and a mock look of hurt came to his face. "You wound me, Daniel."

"Good. Maybe you'll leave me alone." Danny spits out.

"I'm afraid that won't happen, little Badger.' Vlad says sounding anything but sorry. 'Since you are the only other halfa to live you are meant to be at my side."

"What about Danielle? She was a halfa too! Then you throw her out just because she was a girl!' Danny's eyes lit up brighter with anger. 'You don't deserve the respect she gave you when she was with you. You throw a little girl out just for being who she was, you're a sick Fruitloop and I will never, EVER, join you!"

The three floated there after that little out burst.

Danny floated here panting slightly as Vlad and Skulker watched him with unreadable expressions.

Vlad decided a different tactic. "Why did you come into the Ghost Zone, Daniel?"

Still not completely thinking straight Danny growled. "Because my parents and friends turned on me because they thought I would turn evil."

The two older ghosts looked flabbergasted, they had almost never seen Danny with out his friends and to hear they had turned on him was shocking. "Why would they turn on you? I'm sure your friends know you are not 'evil'."

Danny laughed hollowly; it sent a small shiver down the older halfa and hunter's backs. "Apparently I'm slowly turning full ghost, so they thought I would go bad with how strong I had been get."

"How do you know this?" Vlad asked, trying to process everything Danny was saying, surely his Maddie had turned against her own son, right?

"My dad." Danny says.

"Jack?!" Vlad asked, the buffoon couldn't possibly be able to figure that his son was half ghost and was slowly become less human.

"Jack isn't my dad anymore.' Danny says in disgust, making Vlad's heart flutter with hope for a moment. 'I have a new and better dad."

And it was crushed, Vlad frowned as he looked at Danny. "Who is this 'new dad', surely your not talking about the Ghost Writer."

Danny snorts. "No, Writer is more like a brother. My real actual ghost dad is Clockwork, Master of Time."

Skulker and Vlad froze, they had thought Daniel might know the Master of Time, not him being his son!

"How is he your 'ghost father'?" Skulker asks in awe.

"He helped make my ghost half, when I open the Ghost Portal when I got my powers, Clockwork had been there. It had token some of his ecto-plasm and gave it to me, making my ghost half and in turn his son." Danny says.

"That's how you got away from me!' Skulker seems to randomly cry. 'You slowed down time to get away from me!"

"Uh-huh!" Danny confirms.

Vlad watched Danny carefully, if he had the Master of Time behind him, he is said to be able to see and know everything.

Taking his Badger would be harder then he thought.

A sort-of cliffy, enjoy! :P R&R! Ta.
