"So which one of you is stronger?" Maddie inquired as they neared a cave.

Vlad seemed to stiffen slightly at the question before he relaxed back out. "I am right now. However, Daniel is developing his powers at a startling rate. Faster than I did but I also have to take into account that I fight with the boy to indirectly train him. Once he matures out he will be stronger than me. I got my powers when I was a young adult so my human growth was already finished. However, Daniel is still developing so that will cause his powers to develop and also grow as well. He has much to learn." Vlad finished. It was strangely nice to tell someone the truth. "The ghost is in the cave." He changed the topic suddenly as they landed at the mouth of the cave. Setting Maddie down, he began to walk forward. "If you have any weapons I would draw them, if not stay close."

Entering the forest, Vlad looked around. It looked like a lab of all things. Quickly spotting Danny, he walked over to the boy. Danny was floating in a cylinder in human form. He was in suspended animation, unconscious. Moving over to the computer, he looked for way to release the boy. However, he didn't get long for the ghost appeared behind him.

"Spectra." Vlad observed as he turned around to face the ghost, his hand lit up with ectoplasm. "You brought us here?" He inquired but it was more of an accusation.

"Of course! I needed to get yo-," Spectra broke off when Vlad shot her with an ecto-blast.

"That's all I needed to hear. Let me tell you something Spectra." Vlad growled at the woman as he advanced. While Vlad dealt with Spectra, she went over to the computer to find a way to release him safely.

Grabbing the ghost by the throat, he leaned in close to her face. "Your powers may work on Daniel but they do not on me. In addition to this, if I so much as get a suspicion that you have been near him I will destroy you." Vlad hissed. Bertrand charged at Plasmius but he simply electrified the ghost. Smiling like the devil himself, Vlad spoke to the both of them in a scary calm voice. "I suggest you go before I change my mind and destroy you both."

Letting go of the choking Spectra, they made a run for it. All ghosts knew not to mess with either hybrid when they were angry and those two were stupid enough to make him just that. Once they were gone, Vlad turned back to Daniel. Maddie had drained the liquid that Danny was in and pulled him off to the side on the ground. Placing a hand on him, Vlad turned the boy intangible to get the liquid off. Before he let go of the boy, he sent some electricity through Danny to wake him up.

The proved effective for the boy sat straight up and proceeded to fuss at Vlad. "What the heck, Plasmius! Don't you think I've been shocked enough in my life?" Danny looked only at Vlad as he talked, not realizing Maddie was there as well.

"Are you okay?" Maddie asked before Vlad could reply to the boy's remark.

"Fine." Danny looked at her for a minute before his eyes widened. His head whipped back to Vlad with a questioning look. Gaping like a fish, he looked between the two.

"She knows about me." Vlad answered the boy's unspoken questions as he emphasized the "me".

Understanding what Vlad meant, Danny visibly relaxed. "So did you figure out who kidnapped us?"

"Spectra." Vlad replied dryly.

"Oh, she is so going to get her butt kicked next time I see her." Danny growled under his breath. "Well this makes things easier." Danny replied louder for them to hear.

"Indeed." Vlad agreed. "Let's get our of here." With that being said he wrapped his arms around each of their waists and began to fly into the sky. "If you keep on struggling, I'm going to drop you." Vlad warned Danny but there was amusement in his voice.

Rolling his eyes, Danny responded. "Fine." His body relaxed in Vlad's grip. Once they were above the trees, Vlad looked around. "It seems we are in Wisconsin. How fortunate."

Suspense! Oh gosh! What's going to happen? I really have no idea!

Random reader: "Aren't you supposed to know?"

Ghost (me): "key word: supposed."

Random reader: "Wow, that's lame."

Ghost: "I DON'T SEE YOU WRITING ANYTHING THAT SOMEONE HASN'T THOUGHT OF!"

...silence...

Ghost: "I rest my case. Oh yeah! This isn't over yet! (hint hint: Spectra had help!)"

Random reader: "Don't tease me, them, us!"

Ghost: "Muahahahahah"
