Chapter 24

3rd person POV:

"Alright everyone, we're heading out, come on!" Danny said motioning for the group to follow him out. They complied, without question. "Daniel?" Danny turned his head slightly to look over his shoulder at Mr. Lancer. "Yes?" "What about Ms. Sanchez and the Fenton's?" Danny motioned for Mr. Lancer to look behind them. When he did, he saw Paulina and the Fenton's being escorted by the guards. "Oh, Ok then." Mr. Lancer turned back to face the mysterious group of students leading them.

When they got outside Danny pointed to the platform, just off to the side. "Alright everyone, get onto the platform. Guards be sure that you hook the Fenton's down to the platform, as well as Paulina. And be sure they're secure." The guards nodded at Danny and did what was asked of them. No longer caring what the class saw, Team Phantom began to say their goodbyes.

Val's POV:

I watched as Danny kneeled in front of Dani. "Dani, I love you. Be good for Mommy, like you promised, ok?" "I will daddy. I will, just be careful." Dani said trying not to cry. While holding onto Danny for dear life. "Wait, WHAT!? DADDY? GHOSTS CAN'T HAVE CHILDREN!" Maddie yelled, pissed. Danny let go of Danielle and turned towards the Fenton's. Well this won't end well. I looked over at Tuck to see he had the 'this won't end well' look on his face too. Then I looked at Sam and Jazz, who looked beyond pissed.

Danny's POV:

Why now? Letting go of Dani, I turned to face the Fenton's. Right as I was about to yell at them, Jazz started yelling. "WOULD YOU SHUT UP?! DANNY IS NOT A FULL GHOST! IT'S YOUR FAULT FOR HIM BECOMING A HALF GHOST IN THE FIRST PLACE!" The class looked between the Fenton's and Team Phantom stunned. Dam. This is completely like that part in Jazz's dream.

Jazz's POV:

"Wait, JAZZ?! When did you get here? How did you get here?" Yep, exactly what she said in the dream. "Guards would you un cuff Maddie's hands. Leave her ankles cuffed and chained." "Yes princess." Adras replied as he did what I asked. Maddie and Jack stared at me stunned. While I just stared back with a blank face. Once the cuffs were off, I threw the ghost radar at her. She caught it and looked between it and me. "Why did you give me this?" She asked confused. I came to stand in front of her. "Use it on me. To prove I'm not possessed or a ghost."

She did hesitantly, when it didn't make a sound she continued to stare stunned. "Jazz? Why are you here?" "I came because my niece was worried about her parents." She continued to look at me as jack spoke. "Danny doesn't have any children." I felt everyone's eyes on Jack. He looked past me, and I looked over my shoulder to see them all giving him a 'duh' stare. "Yes, he does and she's right there." I replied blankly, pointing at Dani. Who was holding onto Sam's dress with one hand and Danny's pants with the other. Jack and Maddie looked over at Dani. Their eyes switched between Danny, Dani and me. "That's not your brother Jasmine." Maddie said with disgust thick in her tone. I saw red, and right as I was about to go off. I felt Danny's hand on my shoulder.

3rd person POV:

"Yes, I am her brother Maddie." Danny all but spat at her. "For the record I'm not possessed either. Just half dead." The Fenton's glanced at each other looking confused by his statement. "You told me to stay away from the portal when it didn't work. Worried I would get hurt. I didn't listen. I'm the reason the portal works. I went in, hit the ON switch that was on the inside and I got electrocuted." The class gasped as Danny went on. "It partly killed me that day." Maddie's eyes slowly began to show concern. "If you still don't believe me. Right after we moved to Amity, when I was 5. I fell down the stairs while caring some of my clothes. I fractured my wrist and broke my ankle. And you all but forced the doctors to keep me in the hospital for two weeks. You kept insisting I would die of an infection if I left. You also kept accusing a ghost of pushing me down the stairs."

Danny crossed his arms while staring down at Maddie. Who looked horrified. When she started to reach her hand towards Danny's face. He slapped it away causing her to cradle her hand shocked. "Danny? But it's not possible. You can't be…" "Can't be what Maddie? Your half dead child, who you tortured?! Yeah, I can, and am." Danny then phased out of his shirt and jacket. Jazz and the rest of Team Phantom turned away. While Sam picked up Dani and made her look the other way. All of them, minus Dani, had all been there the day he got those scars and they didn't want to re live it right now. The class gaped and stared in horror at Danny's torso.

Danny had long scars running from his wrists to his chest. Along with multiple large gashes all over his chest and back. When he turned around, so the Fenton's could see his back, the class looked even more mortified. The Fenton's just stared completely terrified, seeing the damage they did to Phantom on their sons' body. "That's the scar from the dam ecto-ranium gun." Danny said as he turned back to face them. "These…" he said pointing at the long scars on his arms. "are what's left of those dam scalpels. That you used on me when you didn't like my answers." He put back on his shirt and Jacket.

Classes POV:

Holy shit. No wonder he always wears long sleeves and never changes in gym. "War of the worlds! How mentally unstable are you people? How could you do that to a child!? Ghost or not!" Lancer yelled at the Fenton's, fury clear in his eyes. When they looked to the class they were only met with contempt. Especially from Paulina who looked as ready to attack them as she did Sam.

"We didn't know Danny." Maddie all but whispered.

Sam's POV:

She did not just say that! I felt my body go hot again but this time I had control. I glanced at Valerie who had wide eyes. She nodded and took Dani from me, continuing to hide her from what was about to happen. I saw Danny and Jazz go stiff with fury at Maddie's words. Before they had a chance to start yelling, I was in front of her. SMACK… The loud sound echoed around all of us. Everyone stared at me. My hand extended well past where Maddie's face was. I looked down at her shocked face, one hand clutching the growing red mark in the shape of my hand. "Sam! Why did you do that?!" Jack yelled. I held my gaze with Maddie and when I spoke everyone shook with fear.

"YOU DIDN'T KNOW?! WHAT ARE YOU A CHILD?! THAT WAS THE MOST IDIOC THING I HAVE EVER HEARD! YOU DIDN'T KNOW, THAT IS ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT! NOT KNOWING DOES NOT EXCUSE YOU FROM EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE! IT NEVER HAS! DANNY WAS 14! 14 WHEN HE WAS ELECTROCUTED AND BEGAN PROTECTING THE TOWN! AND YOU JUST COULDN'T STOP TALKING ABOUT WANTING TO DISSECT YOUR OWN DAM SON! EVEN IN GHOST FORM DANNY WAS STILL 14 AND HE LOOKED IT! YOU SHOULD HAVE NEVER WANTED TO DISSECT, TORTURE OR HARM A CHILD!"

I felt Danny's hands on my shoulders and began to calm down. I glanced around to see everyone in the class staring at me horrified. I looked down to see myself in my ghost form. This time it was different though, now I had on a long flowing, flaming, orange, yellow and red dress. I pulled my hair around to see it had orange strips through it. It was now braided, and the tips of my white hair was also flaming. I looked up at Danny, "is this what I looked like at Dora's?" He nodded, "You have control of your body this time?" I nodded, "Yeah, I do but this is really weird." "Go to Dani, Sammy." Staying in my ghost form I did as he said.

Class's POV:

Remind me not to piss her off. Even Paulina looks a little shaken. We looked back at Danny as Sam walked over to Val and retrieved her daughter. Maddie was still on the ground from Sam's slap. She was looking at Danny horrified, and she was about to say something. Danny spoke first though, "Maddie. Sam is right, you not knowing does not excuse anything you've done to me or Jazz. You aren't our parents anymore. So, you don't need to worry about us or Dani. She may be your granddaughter by blood. But blood doesn't make family and you will never know her or your other grandchildren. And, you will be lucky if you don't end up in prison, after all this." Harsh dude, but true.

3rd person POV:

"Adras please re cuff her." Danny turned to the class and smiled sheepishly while rubbing the back of his neck. "I'm sure you all have a lot of questions, but Sammy can answer those for you when you're back in Amity." "Wait Daniel aren't you, Mr. Foley and the others coming with us?" Lancer asked completely confused. "No. I'm not I have to stay and protect all of you." Danny said is face becoming stoic, "You guys, the rest of the world and Ghost Zone are in grave danger. I have to stop it from happening." The class looked to Sam, Val, Tuck and Jazz who all had tears in their eyes. Then looked back to Danny. "You're not going to die, are you?" Dash asked finally beginning to grasp what was happening. Danny smiled sadly at the class, "I'm going to try not to." Danny looked over at Dani who was staring with wide eyes and tears down her cheeks. "Da… Daddy?" Dani said her voice cracking from her tears.

Danny was in front of her before anyone could blink. He took Dani from Sam and hugged her tightly, "everything will be ok Dani. I promise, I'm tougher than I look." Danny said with a goofy smile as he kissed her forehead and gave her back to Sam. "I love you Sammy." Sam couldn't hold her sob, "I love you too Danny. You better come back." Sam clutched onto Danny as best she could with her daughter on her hip. Danny kissed Sam, letting go of her. He changed while turning to Tuck, "You two better be careful too. If you start to hear the battle. Get out." "We'll be fine man." Tuck sadly said to his best friend and brother. "Yeah Danny, we'll be fine. But you better be too, you beat this guy before you can do it again." Jazz said as she clung to her brother before letting go and stepping back. He lifted himself off the rocky path, with one last glance at everyone. Then he shot off towards Clockworks tower. His speed caused a shock wave that shook the platform and caused most of the class to lose their balance and fall. "Holy shit that was fast!" A random class member said.

Sam turned to Valerie, "Come on Val we need to leave." Val nodded hugging Tucker one last time. She took a step back and changed into the red huntress causing the class to gasp. She turned and nodded to Sam, who nodded and looked to Dani. "Dani, I need you to go ghost and stay on the platform with the class, ok?" "Ok mommy." Sam set Dani down as she changed. Dani walked over to the platform standing at the very front.

"Bye Tuck, Bye Jazz. Be careful." Sam said as kicked the platform free of the path, she looked at them as they nodded. The class watched in shock yet again, as Tuck changed into the brown hunter and jumped up enough so his hover board could come out. He lowered the board enough for Jazz to sit on, before he took off as well.

"What in the fuck is going on?!" Kwan asked.
