It was days after Danny had defeated Horrick. He was finally able to focus on school and the things that really mattered to him again. However, he knew things would never be the same, now that his secret was known to his parents.

Danny's grades slowly got higher and higher, and he was actually able to enjoy himself a lot more now. Never before had he come closer to death than he had been running through the forest that Horrick set on fire, hoping to toast him alive in. Danny was now especially thankful for his dad's inventions, because one of them actually saved Danny's life.

A few days later, Danny was in school and eating lunch with his best friends as if nothing had ever happened. He was ready to put the entire thing behind him, but thanks to Mr. Compton, he wouldn't be able to do that anytime soon.

Danny was just about to put some food into his mouth until a random student came up from behind Danny and started talking to him.

"Hey Danny, is it true that you really have these awesome ghost powers that your parents gave you when they performed an experiment on you!"

"Is that what everyone thinks happened?" Danny asked himself. "Wow, how much did Compton stretch the truth when he told everybody?"

Danny started to respond to the student who asked him the question, but a voice suddenly cut him off. "No, he doesn't. Now leave him alone!"

Danny and the student looked to the side and saw Jazz standing there with an irritated expression and her hands on her hips.

"Oh no. Jazz, go away. Please?"

"Leave my little brother alone!" Jazz demanded poking the student hard in the chest as she walked over to him.

"Whoa, chill out," the student said. "I just wanted to know if he was really a ghost from another dimension!"

"Well, he isn't!" Jazz yelled. "So leave him alone!"

"Okay, okay," the student said, walking away.

"Uh…thanks," Danny said, trying to show he appreciated Jazz trying her best to help him out. But he really wanted to just take things on his own now, and thought he was more than capable of handling it on his own.

The walk home from school that day seemed to be a particularly average one. The wind blew Danny's hair back as he walked against it and a few leaves blew across the ground. He listened to the birds singing without a care in the world and was glad that his life was going to be simple again.

Then, Danny saw something when he was walking towards his house. There appeared to be several massive trucks sitting outside the Comptons' house. Could they be…moving trucks?

"What's going on?" Danny asked himself as he walked into his house, not once taking his eyes off of the trucks that were sitting in the driveway.

Danny walked into the house and was greeted by his two parents. Almost as if they were reading his thoughts, Maddie spoke up and said, "Danny, did you see those trucks outside Mrs. Compton's driveway?"

"Yeah, I did," Danny agreed. "Do you know what that's about?"

"Actually, no," Maddie said. "Your father and I were talking about it for a while, but the only reason we could come up with was because she was movi…"

Danny's mom got cut off in the middle of her sentence by a knock on the door. All of them stopped talking and passed glances at each other, asking with their facial expressions, "Who's going to get that?"

Without even saying anything, Danny just walked away and answered the door himself. He got an unpleasant surprise when he saw that it was Mrs. Compton standing there. She looked like she was mixed between anger and depression.

"Mrs. Compton?" Danny asked.

"What do you want?" Jack demanded, defensively.

Mrs. Compton looked liked she was about to burst into tears. "I'm…being forced to drop the lawsuit."

"What?" all three Fentons asked at once.

"The court says that my husband's death has been ruled accidental suicide, so his injuries are no longer worth anything…" Mrs. Compton choked.

A huge smile started spreading across Danny's face. For some reason, the entire thought just felt unreal to him. He knew he was responsible for the lawsuit after he gave Mr. Compton that head injury with the ectoplasmic blast, but he didn't actually think that winning the fight against Compton would cause the suit to be lifted.

Now that Compton was dead, he didn't have any more medical expenses to pay, and Danny's family would no longer be responsible.

"Well, sorry to hear about your husband," Danny said in a sarcastic and cocky way, giving Mrs. Compton a snobby look that enraged her.

"Hey, what's with all those giant trucks outside your house?" Jack brought up as Mrs. Compton gave Danny a cold look.

"I can't even stand to look at you people anymore!" Mrs. Compton shrieked. "That demon boy of yours hurt my husband because you people were irresponsible and reckless with your ghost hunting equipment! All I wanted was justice and for you to pay for my husband's injuries, but now I can't even have that!"

"Take a chill pill lady," Danny said, not caring what he said to Mrs. Compton now. In fact, he thought it was pretty funny how she was freaking out.

"You be quiet, you little brat!" Mrs. Compton snapped, bending over and pointing her finder right in front of Danny's nose.

"Nah," Danny said, trying his best to get on her nerves.

"Hey! Don't you 'nah' me! Do you understand!"

"Yeah, sure."

"You'd better!" Mrs. Compton yelled. Her face was turning red and it was obvious she was filling up with fury.

"Will you please just answer Jack's question?" Maddie requested. "What are all those trucks doing outside your house?"

"I'm moving away!" she shrieked. "Far away! I can't even stand to look at you people anymore."

Saying this, Mrs. Compton stormed away and headed back to her house.

"See you later, bag lady!" Danny screamed after her, trying to get one more insult in. Mrs. Compton shot around, gave Danny a cold glare, and then proceeded to walk back towards her house.

As Mrs. Compton walked away, Danny continued giving her that cocky, in-your-face look. Finally, when she was back inside her house, Danny turned to his parents.

"So, I guess my college fund isn't going to be blown on a lawyer after all?" he asked hopefully.

"Nope," Jack promised. "No, we won't."

"That's good," Danny said.

So in the end, Danny ended up defeating two ghosts, battling and winning against his surprisingly violent neighbor, barely made it through a flaming forest with his life and managed to rescue his family and friends from almost certain death. And all of it happened in such a short amount of time, Danny couldn't believe it.

Danny and his parents were just standing there, all wearing smiles. Then, something unexpected happened that completely ruined the moment.

Danny gasped and a thin stream of blue smoke came out of his mouth. Jack and Maddie were evidently surprised by this.

"Danny, what was that?" Maddie asked breathlessly.

"Huh? Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you guys," Danny said, looking very laid-back. "That's my ghost sense. It alerts me when a ghost is nearby."

"What then?" Jack asked.

"Well, I just pretty much go and beat it up," Danny said.

"Are you sure you're going to be all right?" Maddie asked, concerned.

Danny scoffed. "Don't worry, I've had to take on hundreds of these guys before. As far as I'm concerned, they're just mandatory exercise programs."

"Well, okay…" Maddie said.

"Well then, wish me luck!" Danny said.

Danny transformed into his ghost half. After the two white rings turned him into his ghost alter ego, he stepped outside of his house but still stood right in front of the doorway. He gave his parents a two-finger salute, and then flew off to battle the ghost.

Author's Note:

(exhales) That's it. That there is my last Danny Phantom fanfic until August or September probably. It's actually a little depressing, since for about six and a half months now, I've been writing Danny Phantom stories, starting with Split Decisions before Thanksgiving. Now I'm going to stop writing them for a while, and I might even miss writing them a little. Writing these fanfictions has become something I've done almost every day, and after doing the same thing every day for six and a half months, it's not going to be easy ending it all for a while.

I want to thank Leppers, Jenna Dax, GoingGhost and Whisper of (or now, Chrono's) Darkness. You guys have all been great when reviewing this. You guys probably know how much it means to me to have my work reviewed and to hear great things said about it. You guys are the best, thank you so much for reviewing.

You might be interested to know how I came up with the story for Revelations and Revenge. Well, I started thinking about an idea for my third Danny Phantom story a while into Descendant's Curse. I was expecting DC to get a lot of reviews, but I was pretty disappointed with it around the middle. It was then I started trying to come up with a story that people seemed to like a lot.

It was then that I noticed that the stories with the most reviews were ones where somebody found out about Danny's secret who shouldn't, so I figured I should give it a shot. But I also tried to mold a story out of it and not just have it be something like a plot event that would get people to read it.

So probably a week or two before the end of March, I had decided what I wanted the main focus to be in my story, but I still needed to outline it. Then, on April 1, I watched a movie where a character was running through a jungle that was on fire, and I liked the idea of having someone chased through a place going up in flames so much, I decided I wanted that to be how the story would end.

This is when I used the Work-Backwards method, which is the first time I've tried it. I knew what I wanted everything to lead up to, so instead of starting at the beginning and deciding what happened after each event, I instead decided to start at the end and decide how exactly Danny was going to wind up in the forest going up in flames. The rest just fell into place. Can you believe it? A 30 second chase scene in a movie ended up being the total basis for this story's plot.

After less than a week of outlining and planning this story out, the first chapter got posted here, and the rest is history.

I really am going to miss writing these stories, but I have a bigger one coming up over the summer. In fact, it's now up on the Tales of Symphonia section. It's called Tales of Tiberia, which is what my entire summer is going to be revolving around. ToS is my favorite video game and I've been dying to write a fanfic for it since I first signed up to this site in September. After months and months of bouncing ideas off the wall and trying to outline the story, it's finally here, so I'm very excited about that.

Besides, I can safely assure you this won't be my last Danny Phantom fanfic. It will, however, probably be the last one until August at the earliest. But I already have ideas ready for it. I think it will be a great one, but we'll just have to wait for a few weeks, won't we?

Anyway, enough about that, I'm here to talk about Revelations and Revenge. I have had a lot of fun writing this story and making it one of the darker ones I've written in my whole life. I don't know if I'm going to miss outlining the stories more, or if I'm going to miss writing them more. But I think I know the thing I'm going to miss the most, and that's my reviewers.

You guys have been so great and have made me feel so good by saying that my stories are awesome. You guys have been the awesome ones for sticking by chapter after chapter and giving me feedback.

I'm going to miss you guys and writing these stories, but it's only a temporary good-bye. Tales of Tiberia will probably eat up the whole summer, but I'll still be trying to come up with ideas for my fourth Danny Phantom fanfic while I'm writing ToT.

You guys have been awesome! See you in the Fall!
