Hi everyone, good and bad news. Good news: Im going to an all girl's camp next week for the whole week. :D Bad news: They do not allow any electronics up there so I will not be able to update. Sort of both news: This story is almost over so I might have it done before I go! :) Anyway Enjoy Chapter 12: Battle!

Everyone, except Cujo because he was still growling, seemed to be frozen in surprise. Then of course it was Spectra and Bertrand to break the silence.

"Ha-ha! Awe, is your little doggy going to safe you? What will it do slobber all over us?" Bertrand laughs as Spectra coos, in a fake way, how cute Cujo was.

The others soon began to join them, but Danny just smirked. Standing up and putting the growling Cujo next to him, he crossed his arms and waited for their laughing feat to end. Once it was done, Danny grinned almost evilly at them as he turned to Cujo and whistled.

Sudden the villains jumped back when the dog's growl became deep and he grew to the size of a small dump truck.

Now it was Danny's turn to laugh, he couldn't help it their faces were priceless!

Another familiar howl echoed around them and his grin widened more as he whispered. "Here comes the Calvary."

While Cujo stood on his right a black blur come to his left. Then a black and white blur with a blue and orange one joined into the forming line.

Looking down the line Danny felt his core warm up. "Wulf, Jazz, Danni…"

The three nodded back at him with smiles.

Real letters floated in the air next to Cujo till it formed into Writer with his keyboard.

And finally a portal with clock hands opened to show the last four off the group. "Dad, Dora, Frostbite and Pandora."

The four oldest ghosts floated in the back of the group looking sinister with their weapons: Frostbite an ice sword, Clockwork with his staff in scythe form, Pandora with knifes, and Dora in her dragon form.

Danny looked at all his family and friends who looked ready to fight for him, and his enemies who looked like they couldn't decide of they wanted to run away or just stare on in awe.

Danny floated forward and widened his arms to gesture to the group behind him. "And this is my family."

Spectra and Bertrand looked ready to wet them selves, Technus and Desiree looked ready to faint, and Ember seemed to just be floating there with her face on the form of a fish. The only ones that seemed to have been able to get a little sense back into their heads were Vlad, Fright Knight, and Skulker who were watching them warily.

"Taking our brother isn't as easy as you thought, huh Fruitloop?" Jazz asks proudly.

"Jasmine?' Vlad asks in surprise. 'I believed you were dead."

"I came back to protect my brother, and that is exactly what I'm going to do." Jazz says.

"Now are you going to leave our brother alone or do we have to make you?" Danni asks, ecto-blasts forming in her hands.

Vlad sneers. "I'd like to see you try."

That line seemed to snap his 'allies' from their trances, they glared at Danny's family as they brought out their own weapons.

Wulf and Cujo launched forward attacking Spectra and Bertrand respectively, Pandora went slicing at Desiree, Frostbite and Fright Knight locked blades, Dora attack Skulker, Danni went after Technus who had tried to fly away, and Jazz and Ember started something similar to a cat fight.

Clockwork just floated back and watched, and Writer stayed near him while using his keyboard to send out blasts.

That just left Danny and Vlad.

Vlad looked around watching as most where defeated quickly; Spectra, Bertrand, Desiree and Technus, while others did a little better; Ember, and Skulker, and Fright Knight seemed to be holding out the best but that was only because he and Frostbite were equal in skill. Vlad turned back to Danny who still had that smirk on his face, oh he loathed that smirk, and growled.

"Your going to have to do better then this, little Badger.' Vlad hisses. 'You will be my son, even if I have to destroy everyone you hold dear to do it."

Danny's smirk turned into a snarl as he glared at Vlad. "Don't you dare put a hand on them Vlad."

Vlad's face darkens. "You'll have to try to stop me first."

Danny shot forward and knocked Vlad back with a right hock. "Keep away from my family, Fruitloop!"

Vlad straightened him self and shot Danny with a blast, Danny flipped from the impact and looked around dazed. Vlad flew forward and plowed his ecto covered fist into Danny's face, making it break and leak ectoplasm. Danny's head snapped back slightly but the hit had knocked him from his daze so he instantly blasted Vlad back to give him some breathing room.

He breathed in some air, his core was thumping harshly in his chest from both adrenaline and anger. He filled his hands with ecto-ice and made it shape into thick boxing gloves, he used the gloves to block a shot of energy Vlad had sent at him and punched him across the face. When Danny went for another hit Vlad caught his wrist and throw his back, Danny quickly got his bearings and shot some ice at Vlad but he just pulled up a shield.

Vlad made two clones and they both shot towards Danny, who gasped when they pulled his arms behind his back painfully and almost popping them out of their sockets. He winced when the real Vlad came up to his face and held his chin tightly, almost digging his nail into Danny's skin if it wasn't for his gloves. They glared at each other for a short time before Danny spat in his face.

"You, insolent rat!' Vlad growls as he wiped the saliva off his face. 'I try to help you, to protect and teach you, to care for you in a way no normal human or ghost could. And what do you do? You deny my help! You shove it all back into my face for a town who despises you, for people who disrespect you in both forms, and for 'loved' ones who ended up turning against you! Well fine! If you want to be my enemy, Daniel, so be it. But I will warn you now, I do not let my enemies live."

Danny had began to feel a small bit of fear toward Vlad as he listened to his little rant. He looked over his shoulder to see baby Clockwork floating a little bit away, he gave him a small reassuring smile before he turned into an elder and his blank face returned. Danny feeling a bit more confident looked back towards Vlad and smirked.

"Hey Fruitloop, I think you need to chill." Danny states, before Vlad could try to do any thing Danny's green eyes turned ice blue as he began to freeze Vlad's clones solid.

Once they had completely frozen over he broke free and kicked Vlad in the gut. Vlad yelled in anger as he used his ecto-energy to make a sword, Danny mimicked his move as he made a sword that was reinforced with ice to keep it from breaking too easily. They meet in 'middle ground' as a shower of ecto-sparks.

They landed a few cuts on each other, but with both having had been trained well with a blade, they couldn't really do much else.

The others had finished their battles, and were now waiting back. Jazz and Danni had tried to jump in to help their brother many times, but were held back by Clockwork and Writer as Clockwork keep telling them; "Danny must do this on his own."

Suddenly the whole Zone seemed to freeze as Danny let out a surprised and pain gasp.

Through his dazed mind Danny could hear voices, but couldn't understand what they were saying. Feeling most of the pain he felt rippling through his body coming from his stomach, Danny looked down to see Vlad's blade at it.

No through it.

The edges of Danny's vision was turning black, he tried to stay awake but he was soon thrown into darkness.

I think this was my shortest yet, but whatever. -_-'' R&R! Ta.
