Second Chance at Life.
A Danny Phantom fic by Gildy AKA YaoiUke.
Chapter 14.
“Ready, Danny ?”
“Main generator operational and connected…Auxiliary power standing by… Initiating ectoplasm flood…”.
“Good… Tucker, how’s your status ?”
“Command script uploaded… Testing… All scripts are working within designed parameter”
“Good, good… Okay, Danny, put the Ecto Filtrator on and let’s kicks this thing online”.
“Right…”
“Ready… Connecting power to the ghost portal… Power connected… Switching it on in three… Two… One, hit it, Ember !”
“Here goes nothing !”
-PSSHHTTT !!-
A loud fizzing noise erupted from Ember’s newly build ghost portal. Despite all of his effort, the portal just didn’t work. A string of curses and wails followed the fizzing sound shortly after. Ember was definitely not happy.
“Damn !” He brought his fist down into a table. “That’s the third attempt this month and still no result” He massaged his temple, trying to banish his headache.
“Maybe you forgot something ?” Danny offered an explanation as he lay Ember’s ghost portal blueprint down on the table. He examined every single part of it, trying to find a hidden weakness in Ember’s design.
“This isn’t working at all…” Ember reached for his mobile phone and dialed a number. “Hello, Technus… It’s me, Ember… No, your design doesn’t work at all… I did…. I put everything on… Okay… See you later then…”.
“Technus ?” Tucker and Danny looked at Ember.
“Yea, I’ve been asking his help to build this portal”
“Are you sure you can trust that guy ?” Danny frowned, clearly sensing something suspicious.
“No. But he didn’t have any love for the overlord”
“I’m Technus !!. Master of every-“
“Yea, yea, cut the crap, Technus… Just tell me what’s wrong with this thing…” Ember promptly cut Technus’ introduction as the electronic ghost popped into his apartment.
“Heh... Youngsters these days…” Technus snorted. He compared the newly build ghost portal to the blueprint. “Hmm… It’s perfect…” He frowned. Technus gone intangible and haunts the ghost portal. He tried to find anything that Ember might have missed during the construction.
“Nope… Nothing’s wrong with my design” Technus popped out from the portal and deliver the good news.
“Then why isn’t it working ?” Ember sighed. He put himself down on a chair, looking visibly stressed.
“Perhaps you should observe another portal in construction. Who know you might have missed something”.
“Hmmm…. I think I might just do that”
“Very well then, Ember. Until then…” Technus floated into the apartment ceiling and disappeared from sight.
“Okay, just how are you going to do that ?” Danny turned his attention to Ember who was frowning.
“Let’s see… There are only two portals in existence nearby. One is Fenton’s Portal and the other is…”
“Oh no… You are NOT going to his mansion” Danny shook his head. He was looking extremely concerned to what Ember would do next.
“Do you see any other choice ?”
“You know Danny, I hate his idea, but it’s the only way out if we want to build this portal” Tucker voiced his opinion.
“Alright… But just so you know, Ember, I am NOT going to bail you out from Vlad’s mansion if something happened…” Danny folded his hands.
“Don’t worry” Ember waved his hand, dismissing the worried look on Danny’s face. “What would he do to me anyway ?”.
“Don’t say I didn’t warn you” Danny sighed. He has given up arguing with his boyfriend. Ember always has a way to make his point and whenever he did, Danny could only agree or it was already too late to argue.

Later that night
-
“Going phantom” Ember transformed into his ghost mode and flew toward the window when suddenly Danny appeared out of nowhere, blocking his path.
“I thought you’re not going with me ?”
“I just can’t sit idly and let you do this all by yourself” Danny sighed. He was already in ghost mode.
“Ah well, let’s go then” Ember smiled and took Danny’s hand. He flew out from his apartment while dragging Danny along with him.
“Why do I have a bad feeling about this…” Danny thought as he got dragged along. “Where’s Vlad’s mansion anyway ?”
“Not too far from here” Ember replied. He can flew faster than he’s doing at the moment, however, he simply don’t want to fly faster. Actually, he also a rather funny feeling about what he’s about to do.
“What’s wrong, Em ?” Danny looked up at his boyfriend’s face.
“Nothing…” Ember shook his head.
“You’re lying…”
“How’d you know ?”
“Ember, you’re my boyfriend…I can almost read your thought” Danny smiled.
“Ah well… I got funny feeling about this” Ember chuckled.
“Wanna abort the mission ?”
“Nah… We’ve gone too far” Ember shook his head. He began to slow down as the he spotted a lone mansion that stood in the middle of a forest.
“This is Vlad’s mansion alright…” Danny nodded.
“Okay, here’s the plan. We’ll sneak in and go straight into the place where he kept his portal. I want you to remain intangible inside a wall while I make myself slightly obvious” Ember paused.
“Why ?”
“Worse come to worst, if Vlad’s not happy about this infiltration and decided to… Capture me, I’ll still have a chance to escape with you around”.
“Heh…You knew that Vlad isn’t going to be very happy to see you in his mansion”.
“I wouldn’t be happy to see a stranger in my apartment either”.
“Good point”.
“Okay, here goes nothing” Ember descended along with Danny. The two Halfa immediately became intangible and proceed directly into Vlad’s mansion basement.
The two couldn’t be there at better timing. Vlad was actually working on his own ghost portal, doing the final assembling. Ember tried to minimize the risk of being caught by showing only his ghostly head from the wall. He observed every single detail on how to assemble the portal. Immediately he noticed that he had done something wrong during the assembly.
“So that’s why my portal won’t work” He thought.
“Now you know what was wrong with your portal…” Vlad suddenly spoke to the thin air. It was obvious that he was speaking to the unwanted guest.
“Heh… Busted, eh ?” Ember chuckled as he floated out from the wall. He signaled Danny to remain inside the wall.
“You can’t fool me, Ember” Vlad turned around to face Ember. He was still not in his ghost form.
“You see, I was working to build my own portal and it kept on-“
“Fizzing out, I know… It happened to me lots of the time” Vlad nodded.
“How do you know ?”.
“Assembling a ghost portal isn’t as easy as assembling a car you know… Miss one step and it won’t work” Vlad smiled. Somehow, Ember didn’t like that smile.
“I see…” Ember dared himself to step closer and stand just next to Vlad. He examined Vlad’s ghost portal, recording every detail of it in his brain.
“So, Ember… Why do you want to build a ghost portal” Vlad walked away from Ember. He proceeded toward a coffee maker nearby and pours three cups of warm coffee.
“Haven’t you heard about the crisis in the ghost zone ?”
“Only as a rumor” Said Vlad while handing a cup of coffee to Ember. He offered an empty chair for Ember to sit on. Vlad himself leaned against the wall.
“Thanks” Ember sat down on the chair and sipped the coffee. “Well, it wasn’t just a rumor. What you heard was probably 90 % true”.
“In that case, who is this overlord ?”
“Believe it or not, it was Circus Gothica’s Freakshow”
“Tough enemy, I daresay”.
“Very… I’ve lost a couple of good friends because of that monster…” Ember stared down at his cup of coffee. Suddenly, he noticed the third cup of coffee “Three cups ? There are only two of us”
“Really ?... Ehm, Young Daniel, no need to hide. I know you’re in the wall”.
“Uh…” Danny stepped out from the wall reluctantly.
“Please, do join us” Vlad offered another empty chair for Danny to sit on.
“Thanks, I guess…”. Danny’s relationship with Vlad is always strained; they’re never on friendly term.
“How’s Maddie ?” Vlad asked.
“Why do you want to know ?” Danny glared at Vlad.
“Danny…” Ember sighed.
“Pardon me for asking then” Vlad shook his head, looking somehow disappointed. “By the way, Ember, I also heard another interesting rumor” The older man smiled.
“Oh, what would that be ?”
“Oh, nothing, just the fact that you finally found your lover…”
A red shadow crept out on Ember’s cheek as well as Danny’s. “Well… Ah… That’s… That’s true…” Ember nodded. He felt that his throat became very dry.
“Who is the lucky person then ?”
“Well… You see…-“
“It’s me…. Ember is my boyfriend….” Danny whispered softly. He didn’t know what came to him, he just confessed to one of his enemy.
“Ember, Ember, Ember… Picking on such green and young leaf…” Vlad can’t help but to chuckle.
“That was a bad connotation, Vladimir…” Ember shook his head.
“Don’t forget that you’re thirty four years old, Ember, not fifteen…”
“Well, what do you see in front of you ?” Ember folded his hands and glared at Vlad.
“A wolf under sheep skin…”.
“Thanks for the compliment…” Ember twitched. He stood up, taking Danny’s hand along. “Thank you for the hospitality, Vladimir” Ember bowed slightly for courtesy.
“Yeah, thanks for the coffee” Danny added.
“Not so fast” Vlad transformed into ghost. “I’m afraid I can’t let you go so easily. After all you two are uninvited guests…”.
Danny and Ember immediately assume their fighting stance. “I know it will come to this” Danny hissed.
“Youngsters…” Vlad shook his head as he slowly levitates himself higher, preparing to attack the two young Halfas. “Let me show you… The real power of level S ghost !” With that Vlad launched himself as if a spring was releasing all of its tension in one mighty go.
“WATCH OUT !!” Ember pushed Danny away. He took the full blow of Vlad’s body torpedo. The young Halfa was thrown back into the stone wall. However, Ember was rather quick in response. Rather than letting himself be slammed into the wall, he somersaulted backward and landed on the stone wall with his foot.
“Not bad, Ember, not bad…” Vlad nodded as he assumed his fighting stance.
“You’ll find that I’m full of surprise…” Ember whispered as he focused his power to his two fingers.
“Too slow !” Before Ember can shoot his Snipeshot Ecto Ray, Vlad dashed and tackled Ember down. He gave the young Halfa a strong elbow blow to his back and knocked him out.
“EMBER !!” Danny screamed as he charged forward to rescue his downed boyfriends. However, his effort was immediately stopped by a strong Ecto Blast from Vlad. Not wanting to give up, Danny charged all of his power and leaped toward Vlad with one of his leg extending forward.
Vlad simply caught Danny’ leg and uses Danny’s own power and momentum to throw his attacker away.
“As you can see, Young Daniel, my ghost power is more superior than of yours, now, back down and surrender…”
“Never !” Danny tried his power again. He sent his best Ecto Blast flying toward Vlad.
“Fool !” Vlad didn’t move at all. He shot his own Ecto Blast to collide against Danny’s. Being the stronger, Vlad’s Ecto Blast destroyed Danny’s and proceeds to hit Danny squarely on the chest.
Danny was thrown back. His back slammed against a stone wall and he fell down face first just on top of Ember.
“D… Danny… Run… Save yourself…” Ember whispered weakly.
“No !... I’m going to get us out of here” Danny tried to stand up again.
“You’re too weak… Now go !” Ember pressed his hand against Danny’s chest. He made Danny intangible and with the remaining of his power, he blasted Danny out of Vlad’s mansion. Having no power left, Ember fainted.

“Mpf….”
“Welcome back, Ember…”
“Mppff…” Ember shook his head. He was in a rather compromised situation. His hands were bound into a thick wooden bar above his head. He was also forced to kneel down with both of his legs shackled to each other, denying him of any mobility. To his surprise, he found himself stripped down and naked. There was also a red rubber ball on a thick leather strap gagging his mouth, preventing him to make any coherent sound.
“I can see now why Young Daniel was happy to have you as his boyfriend”.
“Hmpf !” Ember growled and tried his best to keep his pride and dignity despite the situation.
“Don’t worry… I won’t do anything to harm you… I’m just making sure that you will NOT sneak into my mansion ever again !” Vlad turned around and walked away from Ember. He left the room and closed the door behind him, leaving Ember alone, naked and all restrained in that room.
Not wanting to give up, Ember transformed into ghost. To his surprise, he was unable to do so. “Ah, I stun you with good dose of anti ghost shock. You won’t be able to turn ghost for few good days” Vlad’s voice burst our from behind the door.
“MMPPF ?!” Ember’s eyes bulged as his shoulder dropped. Suddenly, he lost all the will to fight back. “Danny… Help me…” Ember thought as he shuts his eyes tightly.
