Yes this is a multi chapter, I will not finish it today but I will finish it. I don't own DP. I won't have any mushy gushy moments but more of a bittersweet ending. Yes there is character deaths and lots of it so prepare for pretty much the entire Danny Phantom cast to be dead. I hope you guys enjoy!

It has been sixteen years since mysterious half ghost threat Danny Fenton/Phantom went missing. Now Vlad Masters is promising a one million dollar reward for his capture. He will accept this being either dead or alive. But be warned, this is a dangerous experiment that turned on his family. Transformed in a freak accident he was granted with dangerous powers allowing him to turn invisible, or take over your body and control it. If you are to capture this criminal or if you are interested in capturing him his family, world known ghost hunters Jack and Maddie Fenton, are prepared to train, teach, and sell things to take down this dangerous entity. You may….

Valerie growled as she turned off her TV. Danny hadn't even been seen for sixteen years. And he didn't go missing. He had been ruthlessly chased out by an angry mob while Sam was in labor. It had literally killed her when she found out Danny had been chased out and gravely injured. His own mother had shot him down and Valerie confirmed that he had been losing power.

In fact, Sam, Valerie, Tucker, and Jazz were the only ones in town not included in the chase. After that everything changed and Amity Park was thrown into chaos. Ghosts attacked from all angles making the town darker than even the scariest movies. People went missing everyday never to be seen again. And the town and surrounding towns were forever cast in darkness.

But the strange thing was that ghosts like Skulker, Ember, Technus, and all of them had not been seen since Danny's disappearance. It was weird but only a mystery among the terror. Since Danny had vanished Valerie's world had crumbled. Sam was dead, and so was Jazz. She had been killed ten years ago in an attack on all known Danny Phantom supporters.

Tucker was alive and well but he turned on them all. He had renounced all claims of being Danny's friend and even giving information out about how dangerous Danny had been. He gave them training videos and many other papers and graphs that showed everything about him. It was because of him that Jazz was killed, and he personally held the gun that did it.

Jack and Maddie didn't even care that their children were dead/missing. They were personally organizing search parties to find Danny to dissect him. And Vlad funded the operation. How people accepted him back after the hostile take over he had, forcing the world to do his bidding, she had no idea. At the very least she was glad he no longer sent ghost hunting gear. She had given it up twenty years ago when Danny revealed himself at fourteen. She supported him everyday since then.

Even now she supported him, despite the fact that his supporters usually wound up dead or missing. Even Paulina was dead. In fact, the only living supporters she knew of were smart enough to keep their mouths shut. Suddenly she glanced at the clock "Five o clock" she muttered, worry clawing at her. And another supporter was running on two hours late. Finally the front door opened.

Valerie hurried into the room, pausing at the sight of a young girl with aqua blue eyes and beautiful black hair cascading to her waist. But what struck her most was the bloody lip, black eye, and tears staining her new sky blue skirt and cream blouse. Instantly Valerie went over and hugged the young sixteen year old "Sweety what's wrong?" she asked.

Her daughter cried harder and Valerie took her chin, meeting her gaze "Maria Phantom Grey, what happened?" she asked, a little rougher than she meant.

Maria tore her eyes away "Lancers dead" she whispered. Cold numbness filled Valerie with dread. Lancer was one of the last three supporters. Now only these two girls remained.

Valerie hugged her daughter "It's going to be alright" she soothed. Maria tore from her grasp angrily.

She drew back, glaring at her mother "No it's not! I'm sick of being in the dark! I'm sick of losing the people I care about! And every time I ask you for answers you change the subject! I know you know what's going on but you won't tell me!" she shouted.

Valerie sighed, taking a step back "It's time I explained some things…come with me" she said, motioning for her to follow her. For one moment Maria hesitated before following.

Line break

Maria raised an eyebrow skeptically "Your study? But I thought I wasn't allowed in there" she said skeptically.

Valerie sighed "That was true, but not anymore. You want answers and there have been some things I've kept from you for you safety. But now is the time for you to know the truth" she said, her voice strained. Maria nodded and followed her mother into a room filled with all of her old ecto weaponry and pictures of Danny Phantom and Fenton.

Maria looked around in wonder before stopping at a picture of a girl who looked like her "Who is that?" she asked.

Despite the situation Valerie felt a small smile on her lips "That is Danielle Fenton/Phantom…a clone of your father" she said quietly, falling into a serene pose.

Maria whipped around to face her mother "What…" she stopped, her voice choking up.

Valerie looked down sadly "It's time you learned" she said softly.

She lead Maria to a desk to sit as she took an old ecto gun, fingering it lightly "Twenty years ago when I was fourteen I was best friends with Danny Fenton but I hated Danny Phantom. I hunted ghosts everyday to get at Phantom. But then I found at they were one in the same and I dropped the ghost hunting all together. I loved your father dearly and it hurt when he married your mother"

Maria's eyes widened "But when your mother went into labor the town chased your father out. Fearful of what he was. He was hurt and I don't think he survived. Your mother died that night as well and the mysterious 'daughter of the Phantom' vanished. That next month I went to visit my old friend Paulina who had inherited her mothers orphanage. She took me aside and showed me you"

Maria's eyes narrowed dangerously but she stayed silent "You had been left there the previous morning with not but a paper saying Phantom. But we both saw your eyes and hair and we knew who your father was. She asked me to adopt you and never to tell you for your own safety. We had both heard the rewards for the bodies of you and your father. The government didn't want you alive, just dead. And then Vlad Masters came back and bribed the world into accepting him. Very few supporters of the Phantoms remained firm after that. Your Aunt Jasmine was killed by a friend of your fathers in the same raid that my father was killed.

I have suffered so much to keep you safe because I know that if I let something happen to you…it would be as though I hurt my best friend. Your so much like your father that I see him every time I look at you but despite the pain I want to protect you. Even today there are still bounties worldwide. They believe the Phantoms are raising an army to wipe out the humans forever.

I have been unable to do anything but watch as my friends and family have either turned their back on me or be killed protecting you. Jazz died to delete evidence of your existence. My dad died defending her. Lancer was watching for ghost attacks around you and keeping others from connecting the dots. Even Paulina, my once good friend, died long ago. The entire orphanage burned to the ground with her and all of those innocent children inside. I never wanted to keep you in the dark but it was for your safety because you're the last hope for the world" she whispered.

Maria looked away and for a moment all was silent "Why?" she asked darkly.

Valerie looked at her, completely lost "Why what?" she asked.

Maria looked at her, eyes flashing "Why am I the last hope?" she asked dangerously.

Valerie opened her mouth hopelessly "Your not" a new voice said softly. The two girls tensed, looking carefully around the room as a cloaked figure shimmered into view. The ghost floated a few feet off of the floor with a hood hiding it's eyes, giving it an ominous look that was strengthened by the black cape.

Valerie growled angrily and put herself in between Maria and the new ghost ""Who are you?" she growled.

The ghost ignored her, his hood turning towards Maria "Your one of the last two hopes though. There is a war between the ghosts and you are expected to help lead one. The ghosts won't listen without proof that you are alive" he said.

Maria growled "And why is that?" she snapped.

The ghost chuckled in amusement "Feisty…just like your mother" he said.

Maria raised an eyebrow "My mother was feisty?" she asked.

The ghost snarled at this, his hood turning towards Valerie "You never told her about her parentage!?" he snarled.

Valerie glared back defiantly "I just did. But it was hard since everyone wants to kill her" she said darkly.

The ghosts cape began billowing around him in an angry manner "That does not excuse anything! She has a right to know who her proper parents are! She should have grown up with this knowledge! I promised the ghosts that the Phantom prodigy would be healthy, ready to fight, and ready to step up. And without that we might as well let the other side crush us!" he snarled.

Valerie felt a snarl in her throat as well "Well excuse me if I don't want her killed! I've looked after her for sixteen years and I'm not letting you take her away!" she shouted.

Maria growled angrily as the two bickered "Shut up!" she shouted.

They both froze, looking towards her. She took a deep breath before looking at them "I think the decision would lie with me" she said before leaning to Valerie's ear.

Valerie nodded at her words before turning to the ghost "Goodbye…creep" she hissed before whipping the ecto gun out at lightning speed, shooting at the black hooded figure.

The ghost gasped in pain as he flew back against a wall. He slid to the floor, panting as his hood fell off his shoulders and the cape opened up to reveal a sticky and glowing green substance oozing from his chest.

But the gun in Valerie's hand dropped as she looked into the face of the ghost, horror playing across her face. "Danny" she whispered.
