"I can't believe we're actually in the ghost zone" Tucker mumbled, staring out the window in awe. They were in the Spectre Speeder. Both of their parents, Mr Lancer, and the Fentons were with them.

They were checking it out and making sure it would be ok to have Casper high do a feild trip there. Sam and Tuckers parents were both apart of the schools board of education, along with Mr Lancer.

Sam and Tucker both begged to go. Well, Tucker begged. Sam didn't want to go anywhere near the thing that took her best friend but she ended up going with Tucker. Although, she knew that both her, Tucker, and Jazz just wanted to see if there was any chance Danny could be in there.

Everyone was devastated about the news of Danny. Especially the fentons. Maddie took it the hardest. She was the closest to him. The fentons had nearly given up ghost hunting altogether after their son died. Sam suspected the main reason why they rebuilt the portal was to find if they could bring him back.

Jazz buried herself in her studies after she lost her baby brother. She shut everyone out and locked herself in her room. She wouldn't eat anything and refused to talk to anyone. She started to come around a few months afterwards.

Suddenly, the Speeder began to descend.

"Jack, whats happening?" Maddie asked.

"I dunno! The thing completely just... stopped working!" Everyone began to freak out.

"This isn't going to end well" Tucker mumbled as he began to feel sick.

"C'mon? That all you got?" A 16 year old Danny Phantom laughed as he dodged another one of Skulkers blasts.

"You're to cocky" Skulker growled, firing another ecto blast. Danny smirked, easily dodging another blast and sending one of his own.

Skulker turned as the ecto blast wizzed past his head.
"That was-"

"-a distraction, asshole" Danny did a roundhouse kick to his face, knocking his head clean off. Danny reached down and picked up the little green blob that was the real Skulker.

"Why is Ember still dating you?" He mumbled, tossing him in a ghost proof jar. Skulker banged his fist against the glass.

"Oh hush up, at least i'm not turning you in to Walker. Now guide me towards the direction of your cages or I will" Danny sent Skulker a harsh glare. Skulker gulped and began stammering the directions.

"Down the hall" Danny followed.

"To the left"

"Your other left, dumbass" Danny shook the jar.

"Ouch! Sorry," Skulker rolled his eyes, "now take another right"

Danny soon came across a steal vault door. It had a lock on it along with a number pad.

"Tell me the code" Danny demanded.

Skulker sighed. "8009" He grumbled. Danny put it in and smiled once the door opened.

He tossed the jar to the side, ignoring Skulkers cry of surprise, and walked inside.

"Danny!" Youngblood and Pointdexter cheered from inside one of Skulkers cages.

"The amount of times i've had to save your sorry asses from Skulker is depressing" Danny gave them a light smile. He walked over towards the cages and blasted them open.

"Thanks dude!" Youngblood smiled. Danny shrugged.

"What are friends for?" Dannys smile slightly fell as he remembered Sam and Tucker. He missed them dearly along with Jazz and his parents. It pained him to know that they all thought he was dead.

'Well, they'd be half right'

"Danny, you ok?" Pointdexter asked.

"Hm? Oh, yea! Might as well set everyone else free" Danny said as he began blasting all of the cages open. The ghosts all cheered and flew out.

"THANKYOU, PHANTOM! YOU'RE OUR HERO!" Some of the ghosts yelled on their way out.

"NO! MY COLLECTION!" Skulker cried out, banging his fists against the glass once more.

Danny raised his eyebrows as him and his friends flew out.

"You need a new hobby!"

———

Danny was taking a short nap when it happened. He had just fallen asleep after nearly a week of no sleep. Ghosts normally don't need to sleep but because of Dannys human half, he does.

"DANNY!"

Danny shot off of the couch with a gasp. He looked around with wide eyes, fists up and ready to fight.

"Woah- its just me!" Danny relaxed once he saw that it was just his friend Jace. He met him a year after he got trapped. Jace was the one who notified Danny of any ghosts that needed his saving.

"What is it?" Danny asked, rubbing his tired eyes.

"It's Walker! I overheard some of his guards talking about how he had captured-"

"Alright Alright, I get it. I'll go save-"

"They're not ghosts!"

Danny froze, staring at Jace in disbelief.

"That's Impossible. If Walker didn't imprison a ghost-"

"He captured a human. Multiple humans"

Dannys mouth opened in shock. That couldn't be right! If humans had managed to get into the ghost zone then that meant someone built a portal! He'd been searching for any type of portal to the human world every single day.

"That's not possible! He's tricking us. It's a trap" Danny didn't even sound convinced himself.

Jace crossed his arms and gave Danny a pointed stare. Danny sighed and closed his eyes.

"Get the team"

Jace smiled and nodded. He ran out of the room. Moments later, he came running back in with Youngblood, Ember, Desiree, and Pointdexter.

———

Danny followed Youngblood and Desiree into the prison, fake ghost cuffs around his wrists. They were both disguised as the prison guards.

Ember and Pointdexter were behind him, also dressed as guards. They stopped at the prison gates. Youngblood spoke to the guard that was guarding the gate.

"We've caught him. He was lurking around. I assume he was planning on breaking everyone out again" Youngblood spoke the lines Danny had told him to during their planning.

The guard nodded and opened the gate, shooting Danny a glare. Danny just stuck his tongue out at him.

Ember shoved Danny forward.
"Move" She ordered in a gruff voice. Danny complied.

They walked into the prison. A guard stopped in their way. Everyone stiffened. He sneered at Danny.

"Take him to the boss" The guard walked away. Everyone relaxed then began walking once more.

"On my signal" Danny whispered. They all nodded.

A few seconds later, Danny broke the ghost cuffs and kicked a nearby guard in the face.

"NOW!"

Ember ripped off the uniform, grabbing her guitar that was strapped on her back under the disguise. Pointdexter and Youngblood both disappeared and began their search for the humans.

Danny blasted and fought off the guards with ease. They were nothing compared to most ghosts he fought.

He sensed one behind him. He kicked the guard, sending him crashing into the wall.

"What a rude way to say Hello" Danny smirked, blasting another guard in the face. Soon, there were barely any guards left.

"I'm gonna go ahead and look for them as well. Are you good here?" Danny asked. Ember scoffed.

"We can take care of the rest of these dipsticks easily" Ember said, knocking one out with her guitar. Desiree blasted another into the wall.

Danny sent them both a grin.
"I don't doubt that" Danny turned around and flew down the hallway. He sped past empty cells and alert guards. He suddenly came to a stop as he heard voices. He opened the nearest door and looked inside.

The room had four cells. Only one had occupants inside. They were certainly humans. Danny quickly walked over.

"One's coming!"

"It's ok, I'm here to help-" Danny looked up and froze. His mouth opened to speak but no words came out. His eyes were wide as he looked at every person in the cell.

"Y-You g-guys are..." Danny whispered. His friends and family looked back at him with confusion.

Shaking out of his stupor, he blasted the locks off and swung the cell door open.

"Follow me" He lead them out of the room. Sirens were now going off. Everyone followed him with hesitance.

"Who're you?" Tucker asked as they followed him down the hallway. Ember and Desiree took down most of the guards already.

"Phantom, but you can just call me Danny" Danny sent them all a familiar grin. Sam and Jazzs eyes widened.

"Hold on" Danny mumbled as three guards ran towards them. Tucker hid behind Sam. Their parents stood in front of them.

Danny punched one guard while kicking another in the face. He blasted the last one using his free hand. The guards all fell down in sync.

"Annoying assholes" Danny mumbled. Everyone stared in shock and awe. Maddie stood frozen. He sounded exactly like her son.

"Alright, c'mon" Danny motioned for them to follow. They turned a corner. Everyone slowly stopped as they saw four new looking ghosts.

"It's ok, they're friends" Danny smiled warmly at them.

"Danny! You found them!" Youngblood exclaimed.

"You guys completely went the wrong direction"

Pointdexter blushed in embarrassment. Danny gave him a reassuring smile.

"It's all good, but we should probably go now" Danny said. Everyone nodded.

Danny turned to Sam. She smiled knowingly at him.

"Lead the way, Danny"

———

"So... you got turned into a half human half ghost?" Mr Lancer asked. They were at Dannys home at the ghost zone. He shared it with Jace, Youngblood, and Pointdexter.

"Yea, I was very confused at first but after a fight with Skulker, Embers stupid boyfriend, I figured out I could transform back to my human self" Danny explained.

"Oh my poor baby! Were you scared?" Maddie had not let go of her son once.

"Yea, I'll admit I was freaking terrified, but it's not so bad once you get used to it"

"Terrified? You were bawling when I found you" Ember snorted. Danny turned towards her, face red in embarrassment.

"I-I WASNT CRYING!"

"Yes you were!"

"No I wasn't! My eyes were just sweaty! And sorry if I got a tad bit emotional! One of the first things you told me once I woke up was 'yea, you're kinda dead now'" Danny mocked in Embers voice. Ember crossed her arms.

"Ok, I do not sound like that" Ember said. Danny huffed. He suddenly remembered something.

"Hey, Ember?"

"Yea?"

"Have you gone to Skulkers at all today?"

"...No, why?"

"He's been in a small jar since this morning"

"He Probably deserves it"

"Why're you even dating him?"

"I don't fucking know"
