Danny drove on the outskirts of town. Johnny neck and neck with him in speed. Dani's eyes widened when she recognized the massive mansion up ahead. Danny pulled up towards the large garage and parked. He got out and walked towards the large front doors. He opened the doors once everyone caught up to him but paused. Dani floated beside him.

"What's wrong, Dan- " An arrow zipped towards them at high speed.. Danny reached out and caught it. Stopping it inches away from his forehead. More arrows were shot and he pushed the group behind the doors before rushing towards them. With a single shot from his index finger then incinerated each one. Then ectoplasm blasts were shot out of the walls on the both sides. Danny crossed his arms and just moved from side to side, up and down and flipped over some. A large wreaking ball then swung towards him and he held out his hand, a red blast was shot and the wreaking ball exploded into dust.

"Dammit Daniel, how many times do I have to tell you not to blow them up?!" A voice boomed over the speakers. Danny just smirked and landed on his feet.

"And how many times I've told you that I just loveblowing them up, dad." He chuckle when the voice let out a string of curses before a door opened up on the right side of the hall.

"Little badger, you wound me when you blow them up. Do you know how much those things cost?" The long, white haired man said as he walked in towards him. Danny's guests, save for Valerie, gasped when Vlad Masters was in plain view.

Danny gave his dad for-all-intents-and-purposes a one arm man hug. Valerie rushed over. "Hey Uncle Vlad." She gave him a hug. He patted her head lightly. He then noticed the audience behind them. Raising an eyebrow, he looked at Danny, who smiled back brightly. Vlad turned and walked away without another word. Danny and Valerie followed. That gave the rest of group the cue to follow as well. Dani hung back, still looking where Vlad was walking and kept her eyes on the door he disappeared through. Her memories doing a fast flash back and a few tears shed before she could stop them. Danny paused at the scent of salty tears and his eyes zeroed in on Dani as he turned around. He made his way back to her and waved the rest to go on. Dani's vision had become blurry but she could see a huge figure make way to her and crouch in front of her sobbing form.

"Dani?" She heard Danny's voice filled with worry. Her mouth opened but shut itself then more sobs tore through it. He gently pulled her in his arms and let her cry in his shirt. Her scent was in an overdrive. He could smell lingering fear in her along with sadness. He rocked back and hefted her in hold as he stood. As he walked into a different direction, the long way to where the others were, he tried to console Dani. He rubbed her back and made shushing noise. Soon her sobs turned into sniffles and she quieted some. Granted his shirt was soaked with tears, he didn't mind. "Wanna talk about it?" He asked, looking down at her curled form in his arms. She mumbled a few words and he chuckled before nodding. "Later then, but if this happens again soon, you will tell me." He stopped by a huge set of double doors and knocked. "Decent?" He called. The door opened and he walked in. The rows of movie cases and giant platform television. Bean bags, blankets and pillows all littered around the floor. Popcorn machines, snacks, drinks and such on the far right.

Valerie was already in her pajamas. Out of the huge walk in closet, Johnny came flying out before landing 20 inches away from them. Ember walked out next, hand glowing purple as she glared at Johnny with a blush. Kitty was next as she shook her head. Both wearing PJs. Johnny only wearing pajama bottoms. Both Danny and Dani looked down at Johnny as he groaned. Danny nudged him lightly with his boot with a chuckle. He shifted Dani to his right arm and carried her towards the closet, stepping over Johnny. He walked towards the back of the closet and set Dani down.

"Since we don't have your size in the collection yet, you can wear one of my shirts." Danny took a large, dark red shirt and handed it to Dani, nudging her gently towards the dressing rooms. Dani walked into the dressing room and closed the door. Danny lifted the hem of his shirt and pulled it over his head, letting it pool on the floor. Then undid his pants and stepped right out of them, leaving him in his boxers. He managed to pull on his pajama pants on before three things happened. A beam shot through the open doors, Dani stepped out of the dressing room, and screams filled the room. He disappeared and reappeared in front of Dani, holding out a hand. The beam hit it directly and he closed his hand, absorbing it. He snatched Dani up, who looked to be in shock still, and stomped towards the doors, glaring around the room. He growled when he saw the machines in the air, sending stuff flying. Popcorn was everywhere, drinks were making a puddle on the floor and an evil laugh rang in the air. His sharp stare look at the TV and he snarled at the face he recognized. Electricity had its hold on Valarie. Johnny was in a corner and his shadow was out behind him, blocking the two girls from being hit and from them trying to get out and fight.

"AND WHO IS THIS, I SEE?" Technus announced aloud. "I AM TECHNUS, MASTER OF TECHNOLOGY-"

Danny didn't give the time or day to finish that sentence because he put Dani down, and shot towards the television, driving his fist in it's screen. With a growl, he pulled and pulled his hand out, taking a form with him. His eyes flashed red and he snarled in Technus's shocked face. "You've got some nerve coming in myhome!"

Technus tried not break his hold on him, which only served to have Danny tighten his hold. "WHO ARE YOU?" Technus asked.

Danny laughed. The evilness in his chuckles sent shivers down everyone in the room spine. "I'm not surprised you don't recognize me. Most don't. Here I'll give you a hint." He cleared his throat and spoke in his old, younger voice. "I'mgoingghost!"

Technus's eyes widened and he took his time to asses the new Danny up close. He bulked up...alot. And the differences were so visible, it was like a smack in the face. His eyes weren't neon green but bright red. His hair was longer and his skin and teeth. He looked evil. "YOU'VE CHANGED! SO MUCH.." The grip on him tightened and Danny's eyes narrowed.

"Not as much as you will when I'm through with you." Danny hissed at him, sharp teeth bared.

"Little Badger, are you having fun without me?"

Danny smirked and turned his head to look at Vlad, tongue poking out and he licked his canines. "You came right in time, dad." Seeing the glint in his son's eyes, he floated closer and held out his hand.

"Hand him over Daniel." Danny pouted. He was reluctant to do so. Dani had almost gotten hurt. The was his DNA right there. She had the same flesh and blood as him. And she almost had gotten hurt again. He wanted to maim. He wanted to kill.

"But-" Vlad interrupted him.

"No buts. Last time you became like this against an enemy, you almost killed him. He was in the healers realm for months! He was so badly damaged that at the sound of your name or the the first letter of it made him cringe. Now hand over the loud man and let me toss him in the portal."

He pouted full force and turned back to Technus, who looked like he was sweating bullets. "If you ever come back here again, my father won't be able to stop me this time. So consider yourself lucky." He tossed the ghost towards Vlad and crossed his arms. Vlad let out a sigh of relief and teleported out of the room. Danny looked around the room and groaned. Letting his head fall in his hands, he slowly levitated towards the ground before slumping against the wall.

"Danny!" He looked up just in time to see a small body fly at him. He caught Dani and watched her as she rambled on how he looked scary yet awesome. Chuckling, he put her down and straightened back up. Valarie was shaking her head at him, scoldingly before wagging her finger as she came closer and started to lecture him. He grinned at her. Johnny and Kitty were fussing over each other, checking to see if one was alright. Ember stood silently though. Her eyes trained on Danny. Mostly on his physique. His broad chest and shoulders. Thick muscles wrapped around that coiled and flexed whenever he moved. Ripples of strength, power, and animosity poured out of him. His deliciously toned abs down to his narrowed waist. She followed the V between his hips and blushed when her imagination went wild. Everything about Danny screamed all man. He was dangerous and cunning. His deep voice always made the butterflies in her stomach flutter crazily. The way he smirked sent a wave of heat down her body. The proximity of him made her want to jump on him. The body heat he sent made her wanted to jump inside of him and never leave. That day he touched her cheek. Oh how she wanted him to kiss her. His rough, colossal hands felt amazing on her skin. Her body yearned for him. She wanted all of him. And no one was going to get in her way.
