I DON'T OWN DANNY PHANTOM OR MASS EFFECT

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

"I, Technus shall return!" The ghost yelled as Danny captured him with the Fenton thermos.

"What else is new?" Danny asked. The hybrid took off in the direction of his house, and saw the time as he passed the clock tower. 'I'm gonna be late.' He mentally panicked. His parents told him to be home by five for some family meeting or else he'd be grounded until he turned thirty. And he didn't trust them to have mercy on him, even if tonight was his birthday. Danny landed a few blocks away from his house and transformed back to Danny Fenton. He ran the rest of the distance and crashed through the front door.

"Surprise!" Danny was startled when his family and friends jumped out of hiding spaces in the living room, which was littered with banners and streamers, the ceiling was almost completely covered with balloons. Normally a 16th birthday would be too old to throw a surprise party, but between school, ghost fighting, and making sure no one connected Danny's two forms made him long and appreciate the simplicity that came pre-phantom. He noticed that Dani had taken a space on the couch. The party continued without incident until Maddie Fenton left for business. The party had reached a dull, yet peaceful lull when Dani came to greet him. "Guess what! I discovered a new power."

"Cool, what is it?" He asked thinking it might be one that he has that she has yet to show. Like cryokinesis. She was about to answer when their ghost senses went off in perfect unison.

"I have fudge!" Jack bellowed with a bowl of the dessert as he entered the kitchen.

"Does this smell weird?" Tucker asked, shoving his hat into Jack's face, giving the two hybrids the chance to run off and transform. They flew through the ceiling.

"So, who's butt do you think we'll kick this time?" Dani asked once they were floating over the roof. "My money's on the box ghost."

"I'm betting Skulker. It's been a while since he's tried to capture me."

"I'm afraid both of you are wrong." Vlad said, revealing himself to the younger half ghosts.

"Get the others!" Danny instructed, rocketing at his nemesis. Vlad backhanded Danny, right into a duplicate. The duplicate grabbed Danny's legs and sent electricity coursing through Danny's body. He ended the current when the white rings formed at Danny's hip.

"It wouldn't do for you to pass out and miss this." Through bleary eyes, Danny saw the entire building being swarmed by ghosts. Danny, adrenaline now flowing through him, blasted Vlad in the stomach and dive bombed to his home. A invisible field shocked Danny before he could come to the rescue of his family. Not caring for his secret identity, the hybrid transformed to fall pass the ghost shield. He wasn't expecting the ectoplasmic blast in his side and had just barely managed to transform before landing hard on the pavement. Vlad lowered until he was floating in front of Phantom.

"Send young Danielle for your friends while you try holding me off. You are way too predictable."

"What do you want?" Danny got to his feet, charging his hands with ecto energy.

"Hmm, I thought we knew each other by this point. But if I must explain, than of course I want to kill your idiot Father." Danny started sending blast after blast at Plasmius. Each shot was dispersed as it hit the purple shield Vlad was moving with no visible effort. Danny focused on the areas of space surrounding Vlad. Three rings of light surrounded Vlad, earning a dry laugh from the older hybrid. The Phantom duplicates focused all available energy through their hands. Vlad curled up and the area was filled a mixture of green and purple light, finally exploding and sending the Dannys to the ground. White rings traveled down three of their spines and left only one Danny Phantom wobbly standing. Vlad brought his hand up to his mouth and said, "How's the weapon coming?" Danny's eyes widened at what her heard.

"The weapon will fire in one minute." A voice Danny recognized as one of the ghost vultures said over the wrist mounted speakers.

"I'd recommend we get away now." Another one said. With all the ghosts attacking within the ghost shield, it was impossible they'd notice the weapon, meaning it was up him. But Danny knew Vlad wouldn't let him become human long enough to get through the ghost field, leaving him with only one choice. Danny floated off the ground and pulled air into his being. He released his most powerful attack; the ghostly wail. Danny fell to his knees, too tired to maintain his ghost form after the attack and felt a smile as the field came down. The smile disappeared when the black rings appeared around Vlad, and instead of transforming him into Masters, made him disappear. His attention was pulled away when a bright light engulfed the only home he'd ever known. Once it was gone, all that remained was an empty lot. Danny fell to his knees, telling himself to wake up from this horrible dream.

"Oh Irony. In an attempt to rescue Jack Fenton, you used your most powerful attack and did my job for me." Vlad gloated, except three words were repeating in his mind. 'Its my fault.'

"Everything went as planned." One of the vultures said.

"It was difficult, but we even made sure that woman you said to make sure was there had remained in range." The second one said.

"You What?!" Vlad yelled, eyes flashing red.

"Y-you told us to make sure she was in range before the bomb detonated."

"I said make sure she WASN'T in range! You killed the love of my life!" The anger in Vlad's voice at losing an old flame had made it past the Danny's guilt and he forced himself through the transformation he had been doing for years.

"You are upset because you accidentally killed a woman who had no interest in you when you killed everyone I ever cared for!" The air around them was dropping ten degrees every second. The vultures could sense they were in danger and flew away at Mach speeds. Vlad sent a punch at Danny, which was stopped by Phantom's telekinesis. Plasmius knew he had bitten off more than he could chew and tried to break away. The older ghost knew he needed to get away and blasted ecto energy at Danny. The blast had blinded Danny just long enough for Vlad to get away. Danny flew to Vlad's mansion in Amity, and waited to attack. After a few hours, Phantom realized the older halfa must have already left. He stole Vlad's money and bought a place for him to live. The next day he flew to Clockwork's tower and begged the time ghost to undo what happened. But instead of helping, Clockwork informed him that he wasn't allowed to interfere unless Danny there was severe damage to the time stream.

'Maybe if I became–No! I promised them I'd never be like him!' Danny pounded his head against the wall to force the thoughts away.

-.-.-.-.-. Five Years Later .-.-.-.-.-

"Mr. Fenton, I have Mr. Moriarty on line one." Star, Danny's assistant, called from the other room.

"Got it." Danny dropped the blueprints on ghost hunting equipment on the desk. Using Vlad's money, Danny formed Fenton industries to equip the world with protection from ghosts while using the money to have Mr. Moriarty search for Vlad. Though Danny knew the call was most likely just another disappointment, the hybrid found himself hoping that he finally found the man that ruined his life. Unfortunately, his luck was holding up and it was a failed project.

"Mr. Fenton, I have a call from a Mr. Mahorop."

"Put him on," Danny picked up the phone then said, "you can go home now." She was confused, but didn't argue a day-off. Mahorop was the code name Danny gave Amorpho should any one of Danny's ghost allies see Vlad floating around the ghost zone. And unlike Moriarty, Amorpho wouldn't call with useless updates. Danny wasn't disappointed when Amorpho sent him coordinates to an area in the zone. Danny closed the door and yelled, "I'm Going Ghost!" He phased through the wall to the hidden training area and flew through the ghost portal he created when first starting the company. Danny flew through the zone. After some searching, he finally found the one person he has been searching for years. "Plasmius!" Danny yelled. Vlad flew away. The younger hybrid was having difficulty keeping up as Plasmius weaved through the celestial bodies floating through the zone. Danny turned, and saw a portal coming up. Phantom was unable to stop before flying through a portal. He crashed on a landmass and looked around. Vlad was nowhere in sight.

"Way to go, Phantom." He said aloud.

"Freeze!" A voice said behind Danny.

"You don–" The hybrid paused when he saw someone pointing a strange gun at him, but what really surprised him was the weapon was being wielded by a four-eyed creature with mucus-like skin. 'Where did that portal drop me?'
