Hello, this is geckogrl2 I hope you enjoy my fanfic. Read and Review. And I don't own Danny phantom or batman beyond.

"Daniel you know that you can't defeat me." Plasmius sneered. "I'm all-powerful and I have a ghost army at my back. What makes you think that you can defeat me?"

Plasmius and Danny Phantom have been fighting for hours and Danny looked terrible. His suit was torn in several places, he was bleeding ectoplasm on a severely large cut on his left forearm; and his hair was extremely messy. Plasmius, on the other hand, had only a few cuts and his cape was torn from where Danny had got him earlier.

"The fact that I have something to protect. I. Won't. Let. You. Harm. My. Family." Danny said through clenched teeth.

"Oh well, it will be the death of you for opposing me. Maybe your mother will make the right choice." Plasmius sneered with mock regret.

The only thing he did was make Danny madder, and a cornered wolf is more likely to fight back harder when he is threatened. Or in Danny's case, when his family is threatened. Danny's eyes glowed deadly green and his hands were engulfed in green energy. 'Vlad you shouldn't have involved my family." He thought.

"I promised myself that nothing would happen to them as long as I'M STILL ALIVE!" Danny yelled. The ectoplasmic energy that had collected on his hands turned a deadly, fiery, white. He aimed at Plasmius and fired with as much strength as he could muster. The white blast was on a direct course with Plasmius as he just drew up a red ectoplasmic barrier and waited for it to collide.

"Lets see how much more I can discourage him before I kill him." Vlad thought evilly. "I'll make you into an example of what happens to people who oppose me."

But something amazing happened. The white ecto-blast penetrated through Vald's shield!

"AHHH!" Vlad yelled as he was hit with the white ecto-blast. It had actually been painful! He crashed into the Nasty Burger with a loud boom as Danny threw another white blast at the Nasty Burger collapsing it on PLasmius. If it was a normal battle between him and PLasmius he would have yelled some witty banter, but this battle was too serious for that. He has an army of ghosts to help Valerie fight off while Vlad recovered, and it wouldn't be long now before he did.

Valerie looked terrible. Her suit was falling apart and part of her sled had been blown off. Currently she was on the ground trying to get her leg out from under a piece of debris while fighting off a couple ghosts.

Danny flew over to her and offered his hand.

"Let me help." Danny said. Valerie looked scared at first but that expression malted away to confusion. She timidly raised her hand. Danny gave her a kind smile and phased her out from under the big piece of metal.

"Hold on." He whispered. After he had picked her up. He took off, avoiding the ghosts he spotted Sam, Tucker, and Jazz. He set Valerie on the ground next to them. " You guys need to get out of sight, if Vlad sees you he might kill you to get to me." Danny said emotionlessly.

"Oh, I believe that it is to late for that." A cold, evil voice said.

"Danny seemed to freeze as his parents showed up, racing toward Danny and the gang. His eyes got a distant look as time slowed, then stopped. (a.n. not the work of clockwork) Danny was conversating...with himself.

(inside Danny's mind)

"What should I do? Vlad is going to kill everyone! I need to stop him now!"

"Their is a way, but are you willing to die for them?" the ghost half of him, Phantom, asked.

"Yes, I would die for them, how can I defeat Plasmius?" Danny asked

"Are you sure you want to? If you do it there is no turning back, no sequel, we will cease to exist."

"I don't care about myself I want to save my family. I promised."

"Alright, if that is what you choose."

"that is what I choose."

"okay. this power I'm going to tell you about is something like a self-destruct. You call forth your essence and expand it. It will destroy all enemies and save all friends. In your case all the ghosts in this area will be destroyed and all the humans will be safe. But it will destroy you to."

Danny thought about it, "I will save my family, no matter what it takes."

(outside Danny's mind)(time resume)

Plasmius had called all of his army together and they now surrounded Danny and the gang. The weapons Maddie, Jack, and Val had had been destroyed. It looked like the end for all of them. but then Danny stood up.

Danny looked up at PLasmius with as glare so cold that the ghosts behind him backed away. His eyes glowed a greenish-white as he floated up until he was level with Plasmius.

"Oooh, the scary eyes, really son that is a good way to give me a heart attack." Vlad mocked.

Danny's hands clenched at his sides and his eyes glowed dangerously. "Don't ever call me that again." Danny said with a voice so venomous that Vlad actually felt like he went to far, and he probably did.

Danny's green aurora intensified and expanded crackling off Danny's form like lightning. It changed from green to pure white, growing bigger and bigger till it almost touched Vlad. He hissed with pain. Being in Danny's aurora was like being on the sun's surface, extremely bright and very, very hot.

"What are you doing! Vlad yelled as he was trying to escape Danny's wrath.

"I have made my choice." Danny said calmly. He has accepted what would happen.

The aurora encased Danny and expanded, engulfing everything. Vlad was the first, then the ghost army; but the sphere didn't stop there, it kept expanding encompassing the entire town and everyone in it. To the humans it was just a very bright light and a feeling that all will be well; but for the ghosts that had invaded Amity...it was like being on the surface of the sun. It was bright and hot! It burned up their entire being till they merely did not exist anymore.

"I have made my choice." said a whisper that could be heard by everyone. The whisper was fallowed by the loudest clash of thunder that was ever heard. Bright flash of light and then...silence. All the ghosts were gone, the streets were empty. The place where Danny was, the form of a human teenager began to solidify.

(from maddie, jack, Valerie, Sam, tucker, and jazz p.o.v)

.---While the smoke cleared away, Danny's parents, Valerie, Sam, Tuck, and Jazz, saw the hazy form of a person appeared in the smoke. The person looked like he was about 14 maybe a little older. His messy, snowy white hair hanged over glowing, neon green eyes. He was wearing a black hasmat suit with silver gloves, boots, and collar. And in the center of his chest was the very familiar DP logo.

It was the phantom, the hero of Amity Park, although his form was hazy, he looked good as new, like nothing ever happened; he was also somewhat see through.

'He survived?' Val wondered out loud. Phantom turned his head and looked at Valerie, he had a sad expression on his face.

'No I didn't.' He replied with a sad tone. 'I just came to say my last goodbye.' he whispered though everyone could hear him clearly. the smoke was floating gently around him. he laid his gaze on Sam, Tuck, and Jazz. 'Thanks for keeping my secret, guys. Thanks for the truly memorable times, I won't forget how many times we had laughed together.' With a smile he added, 'Thanks for covering for me all this time even though it got you into trouble all the time.'

He turned back to Valerie. 'Valerie, thanks for the help on this one. I'm glad you decided to help instead of blasting my but.' He said with a small laugh. I really appreciate it.

'But why did you help us? You're a ghost shouldn't you be on their side?' She asked with her eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

'Valerie you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, not all ghosts are bad.' With a snort he added. 'I'm not even a full ghost.'

At this everyone except Sam, Tuck, and Jazz, felt their jaws drop.

'What?' Jack asked incredulously.

' I'm a half ghost, half human.'

'But that's impossible!' Maddie exclaimed. 'Someone cant be half-dead!'

Phantom just started laughing softly, 'You should know by now that anything is possible mom.'

'What?' Val, Maddie, and Jack asked.

Phantom just looked at them sadly, he wanted to show them, but he didn't know if he could change back into human form since he was dead, but he tried anyway.

Maddie, Jack, and Val just stared open-mouthed as phantom began to change. A ring of light appeared around his waist; it split in two and moved in opposite direction. One up and one down. His snowy white hair became raven black, his black and white spandex suit changed into a very familiar pair of blue jeans and a white t-shirt with the red logo on the front; and finally his green eyes faded back to the baby blue they all new and loved.

"Danny!' Maddie asked. 'You're the ghost boy?'

'Yah, sorry to keep it a secret for so long.' He said with a sheepish grin on his face.

'How?' Val asked. She was very confused, Danny was the ghost boy that she had hated for so long?' But it isn't a trick that is really Danny. she thought.

Danny said two very simple words, 'Ghost Portal.'

'The accident?'

'Yah, the ghost portal, it gave me ghost powers.' He said simply. Then he saw the growing horror and guilt on his parents' faces. He knew what they were thinking. 'Mom and dad I love you and I'll miss you but try and not to dwell on the past. It's done and gone and it cant be changed.'

Tucker seemed to get an idea and he voiced it, 'Danny since you're half ghost won't you become like all ghost?'

Danny looked at everyone's hopeful expression and sighed. 'No that was one battle that I wont be able to walk away from. I used all my powers to conjure up that blast on to not kill anyone who was living, but I did wipe out all the ghost that were in Amity Park. I don't think that any more ghosts will be coming here because of that, and since Vlad is gone and his portal was destroyed none can get out up there and attack amity. But after I'm done saying goodbye I'll disappear.'

Their crestfallen looks were making this harder for Danny than they realized.

'Guys please I want to stay but I new this would happen and I made my choice. I want you to be happy and live life to its fullest since I can't, can you do that for me?' Danny asked. Everybody nodded although it will be difficult. He then turned to val. and said, 'Val, I need you to watch out of this town for me, their will still be bad people and a few rouge ghost that will need to be taken care of. Promise me that you won't give in to defeat, even when there is no hope and the outcome is unsure, be sure to never give up.' He paused as Valerie took all this in.

Valerie looked at Danny's eyes and saw the desperate look he was giving her. He really trusted me.' I will' She said confidentially.

Danny looked relieved. 'Thank you' He said. he turned his head and looked at Maddie and Jack.' mom and dad, I love you allot and really appreciate what you've done for me. I want you to keep making the ghost inventions. They really helped me out allot in my battles. Especially the thermos.-'

'It actually worked?' Jack asked.

'yah, it just needed some ghost energy to start it up. one last thing though, I want u to destroy the ghost portal. the one Vlad had was blown up so I don't have to worry about it.'

'Why?' jazz asked.

'So no more ghosts get out. Once they hear that I'm gone they'll come swarming here to get at the town.'

'Remember that we love you Danny.' Maddie said.

'I will.' He replied he wanted to hug them but he would go right through them, he was dead. his gaze wandered over to jazz and he said simply,' Thanks jazz your the best big sister a guy could have. I hope you get accepted into Harvard."

'You know what? I think ill stay in amity park, they need some competent guidance councilors at Casper high.' she joked referring to the spectra incident.

Danny laughed at that. ' Bye Jazz' He said and turned to Tucker and Sam. 'tucker don't give up on val. I think she likes you,' he said in a whisper that only Sam and tuck could hear.' Sam...' he started. 'I love you." he whispered. Sam looked him straight in the eye and replied,' I love you too.' Danny's smile was genuine. "Bye Sam.'

The gray smoke began to take on a greenish-white hue as Danny looked at each of his family and friends. his body began to fade as he proclaimed his last words for everyone to hear, "Don't forget me and I will always be in your hearts." The greenish-white smoke began to swirl around Danny like a mini-tornado, and became brighter and brighter. Danny raised his right hand and waved. "Goodbye, I'll remember you forever." The glowing tornado turned such a bright white that everyone had to shield their eyes in order to see. There was a bright flash of light then... Silence. The road before them was empty of everything. A few leftover wisps of greenish-white smoke were blown gently in the air, and a whisper was heard floating on the wind, "Don't forget me."

And right where Danny was standing only a few seconds before, was a small light green gem about the size of a half-dollar, and before the sun peaked out from behind the clouds the gem glowed a bright neon green.
