Chapter 1: Beginning

Fourteen year olds Danny and Dani Phantom just beat Jigsaw, a very powerful matter manipulating ghost. It's been over a year since the twins went into their parents' ghost portal and gained their ghost powers. They became well known for their heroics around town and were even given a reward for bravery from the mayor. However, their human forms, as Fentons, are known for completely different reasons. Danny Fenton is known for being bullied by Dash Baxter, and for being Lancer's "favorite" student, being given detention almost every day for being late or falling asleep in class. Dani Fenton is known for her amazing soccer skills and her outgoing personality. Dash has a tendency to flirt with her, and even annoyed her into giving him her number. Danny usually stayed close to his friends, Sam Manson and Tucker Foley, who knew about he and his sister's powers from the beginning. He did make some friends in the Ghost Zone, but usually had to hide from his parents when he was around them. But he didn't mind. It gave him a reason to explore the Ghost Zone and map it out. He even gained a ghost dog named Cujo as a pet when he was there.

Well, back to the present, after defeating Jigsaw, they quickly flew home before the clock could strike ten p.m. on them. Dani flew to her bedroom to go to bed while Danny, who was hungry, flew into the living room and walked into the kitchen (after transforming back to Fenton of course!). He warmed up some leftover pizza. Pepperoni pizza. Smelling the delicious scent, Danny's stomach growled like no tomorrow. He quickly ate it and cleaned up his mess.

Hearing sounds of groans, young Jazz Fenton, Danny and Dani's older sister, woke up and went to investigate. "Danny? Dani?" She silently called out. No answer. The only thing she heard was the continuous groaning coming from downstairs. She decided to check it out, as she believed that one of her family members was hurt. When she found out who was groaning, she raised an eyebrow. "Mom? Dad? Why are you groaning?" As they turned towards her, she gasped. Their eyes were bloodshot and swollen. Their veins pulsed through their skin and they were missing chunks of flesh. They were slouched and limping towards her, groaning even louder. "Oh my god." Jazz muttered. Just as they were about to be upon her, she screamed.

Danny dropped the plate he just cleaned. He quickly ran and grabbed Jazz just in time. He flew upstairs and dropped her off in his room. "Stay here and don't let anyone in, understand? I'll see what's wrong with mom and dad." He told her before he went back downstairs. He went behind them. "What drugs are two on if you willingly attacked Jazz?!" He shouted. When they ignored him, he glared. He grabbed his mother's favorite vase and smashed it. As the sound of the vase shattering, his parents turned to him and groaned. His eyes widened. "What are you on?!" He backed up as they limped in his direction. He ran around them and grabbed a frying pan. "I'd hate to do this!" He warned. But they simply ignored him again. They sniffed the air and limped upstairs, Danny cautiously following. Why are they ignoring me? I'm loud as hell and I broke my mom's favorite vase! He noticed that they were headed towards his room, where Jazz was hiding. When they were there, they started to bang on the door, trying to open it. Danny could hear Jazz's whimpers. He glared. He created an ice pan and started to clash it with the frying pan. The parents stopped banging on the door and followed the sound Danny was making as he led them downstairs.

Meanwhile, Dani was in her room, blasting the music in her headphones as she cleaned up and started to get dressed into her pajamas. That is, until her phone rang and stopped her music. She answered. "Hello?"

"Dani, are you and your siblings okay?! Where are you?!"

"Dash? What are you going on about?! I'm at home. And what do you mean by am I okay?! I'm fine!"

"You mean you don't know?! There are fucking zombies everywhere! Well, I'm glad you're alright! But I suggest that you find a way to secure your house and make sure that your family isn't infected! I'll be there as soon as I can!" He hangs up.

Dani ran out of her room and to Danny's room. It was locked. She rolled her eyes and phased through the door. When she saw Jazz, she raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing in Danny's room?"

"Hiding. Dani, mom and dad are acting weird. And they aren't doing too good. They tried to attack me!"

Dani's eyes widened. "Oh Clockwork! Please just let them be sick or on drugs and not what I think happened to them!" It was then when she heard the pans. "Is that Danny?"

Jazz nodded. "He said that he was going to figure out what was wrong with them! But I have no idea why he's making a racket. At this pace, he'll wake up the neighbors."

"If we even have neighbors still."

Back with Danny…

Danny was growing tired of his parents' weird behavior. He led them into the living room and grabbed a phone. But he didn't even get to dial the first number when he heard an explosion from outside. He looked out the window and saw that there were people eating other people alive. And the people who were doing the eating looked like the exact same condition as his parents. "No. This can't be happening! He turned to his dead parents to see that they were heading back to the staircase. He knew what he had to do and he didn't like it. Shaking, he raised his hand at them. "I'm sorry." He shot them in the head with an ectoblast. As their bodies collapsed, tears streamed down his face. His knees gave in as he started sobbing. Just then, the front door opened.

Dash walked inside of the Fenton household and closed the door to see Danny crying near his dead parents. "Fenton?" He walked up to the young halfa and noticed that his parents were dead before Danny shot them. Dash kneeled next to him. "Fenton, it's not your fault. They were infected and turned. You did the right thing."

Danny shook his head. "It is my fault! I should have been there! I-I should have stopped this from happening to them! I-"

"You didn't know. Besides, if you were there, you could have been infected as well. Speaking of which, where are the other two?"

"U-upstairs."

Dash grabbed Danny by his arm. "Let's go get them." He led the halfa upstairs to see Dani and Jazz. Dash waved. "We have no time to waste. How many weapons do you have?"

Dani looked at him. "An entire vault full as well as two ghosts." She transformed. "And our entire house is big enough for about thirty survivors. Sam's house can fit the same."

Dash looked at her, bewildered. Then he looked at Danny. "Yeah…"

Danny phased through grip and into his own room. When he came out, he was holding a scythe. "I'll use this." He muttered. Dash raised an eyebrow.

"Do you even know how to use that?"

"Of course I do! That's why I'm using it!" Danny's eyes flashed green. Dash threw up his hands while Dani grabbed her spear.

"Okay! Got it! I won't question your choice of weapon again!"

Danny nodded and the four of them went to the weapons vault. Dani typed in the passcode. As the door opened, Dash whistled. "Damn, those are a lot of weapons!"

Dani nodded. "And we didn't even include the lab, Family Assault vehicle, the opscenter, or the floors under the lab!"

"Yeah, our parents enjoyed designing new weapons all the time. Mainly because they were ghost hunters, but also because they like bragging how much better their inventions were than the Guys in White." Jazz added. "So, how many weapons do you think you can carry?"

*linebreak*

Sam was watching a movie in her room when she heard banging on her door. She paused the movie and grabbed one of the axes that were next to her nightstand. "Hello?" She called out as she creeped towards the door. The banging became louder and she could hear inhuman groans. She gripped her ax tightly and opened the door to see her parents. But they were dead, and Sam could tell. She quickly chopped their heads off before they could attack her. She didn't even flinch. She dragged their bodies to the indoor furnace, threw them in along with their heads, closed the latch, and turned it on. She cleaned up the blood and grabbed her phone. She called Tucker. "Hey."

"Sam? Thank god! There's zombies everywhere! They got my parents! I had to shoot them with a rifle!"

"Well, I had to kill my parents too. Anyway, you should come to my house. I have a lockdown program in it, including metal doors and windows."

"On it! By the way, Danny texted me. They got his parents too."

"Great, now we're all orphans. Well, see you when you get here, Tuck."

"Yeah, see ya!"

They hung up.

*linebreak*

Danny, Dani, Jazz, and Dash were suited up with weapons. They were sneaking around the zombies as they headed towards each house. The first few houses were no luck. Danny and Dani killed most of the zombies the group encountered. Dash and Jazz killed a few. They bumped into Quann, Paulina, Mikey, and Star. The group went inside of an empty house and Danny kept the door secure. Dani rounded up the group into the living room. "Alright, our job here tonight is to find other survivors and bring them to either Sam Manson's house or my siblings and my house. We're going to give you weapons based on your strength, height, and skill. But here is the gist, if you get bit by one of the dead, you have to either amputate the limb or kill yourself to prevent from becoming one of them. If you amputate a limb, then Danny or I will bring you to our house to help seal up and bandage the wound. Any questions?"

Paulina raised her hand. "Miss Phantom, I know that Danny Phantom is your brother, but I never knew that you had another sibling! Who is it?"

Dani sighed and transformed back to her human form. "Does that answer your question?"

Everyone stared, flabbergasted. Star stood up. "No way! You and and your loser brother are the Phantom siblings?! That's so cool! Is Jazz one too?!"

Dani shook her head. "Only Danny and I are. We gained our powers from our parents' ghost portal. Any questions about the mission?"

Everyone was silent. Dani smiled and started to hand out weapons to everyone. Dash had an enhanced baseball bat and an ecto pistol, Quann was given an axe, Mikey was given a Fenton bazooka, Paulina was given a machete and a bow with ecto arrows, and Star was given a regular ecto gun(Jazz already had weapons, which were ecto grenades, ecto pistols, and an ecto knife). Danny checked outside to see if the coast was clear. It wasn't. He turned to the group. "Wait here. There are too many to go outside just yet." He phased through the door, scythe in hand. The others watched as he approached the zombies, who didn't notice his presence. When he was ten feet near them, his ghost sense went off? No, this ghost sense was black, not white. Danny's eyes widened.

I can sense the zombies? Well, I guess that makes sense. They are dead after all. Wait a minute, they're dead. I'm half dead. They don't notice me. Which means I could use my own blood to camouflage the others! He smirked. After killing of the zombies, Danny went inside. "I found a possible way to camouflage us." He explained what his plan was and everyone hesitantly agreed. This would work only if there wasn't rain, which meant that they had to move fast as it was going to rain soon. Danny cut open his arm and threw some of his blood on each person in the group, discluding Dani as she was also half dead. Danny then silently motioned them to follow him as they left, closing the door behind them.

*linebreak*

Mr. Lancer, Casper High's main English teacher as well as Vice Principal, just finished locking up the school for the day. With him was Valerie and Dale, who stayed after for extra help and to help Mr. Lancer with papers. Once he locked the last door, he turned to them. "Would you two like a ride to your homes?" They shook their heads.

"Thank you, Mr. Lancer, but you have already done enough. Besides, my home is nearby." Valerie explained. Dale nodded.

"Alright then, be safe you tw-" Mr. Lancer was cut off by a scream. "Lord of the Flies, who screamed?!"

Valerie and Dale shrugged until a kid ran towards them. "Zombies! Zombies are everywhere!" But as soon as he said it, he was hit by a bus that was on fire. Mr. Lancer, Valerie, and Dale watched in terror as the bus hit a gas station and exploded. Mr. Lancer turned to his two students.

"There's a change of plans. We are going back into the school until we know it's safe." He unlocked the door and had them run inside. He did the same, locking the door behind him. "We're going to the second floor for extra safety measures." The two students nodded and followed him to his classroom. He walked into the teachers' lounge and came out with blankets and food. The students thanked him and ate.

*linebreak*

Danny was tired. He didn't sleep at all the night before and now he was literally leading a group to save as many people as they could without placing his own group at risk, which was a hard thing to do. Sure, he did have Dani helping him, but she was in the same boat. And the chaos after losing their parents didn't help their sanity, nor the others'. The group did find a lot of children during their mission, as well as a few adults, but their luck ran out when Mikey lost it. He aimed his gun at the group.

"What are you doing?!" Dani questioned.

"We're going to die, no matter how you put it! It's inevitable! We might as well die right now! I seen how these types of things end! Everyone eventually is taken over by the virus! And in most cases, it's the adults who formed groups! We're mainly just kids! We're going to become one of them! We kids won't survive this! Look around! There's no hope for us! We-"

Danny grabbed the boy by the throat. The young halfa's eyes were glowing toxic green. "Listen to me, and listen good. Movies and real life are two different things. We aren't in a movie. We aren't in some fictional horror story where everyone dies. Yes, we are in a Zombie outbreak. Yes, your chances in surviving are shit, but not because of the zombies everywhere, it's your lack of fucking spirit. Your own idiotic choices and actions. What you forget is that this team is still alive, still fighting. And it has two powerful ghosts, me and Dani. If you truly want to die, I can simply snap your neck like a twig and end it right then and there. However, I suggest that you try to live and not be such a burden for the rest of us!"

Mikey whimpered. Danny let go of him. "Got it?"

"Y-yessir!"

Good, now let's-" It started raining. "Shit. We need to hurry to the bases. Dani will take half of you to Sam Manson's house and I'll take the rest of you to mine. Now let's go!" The group quickly separated. Mainly children were in Danny's group, but he also had Jazz, Dash, and Paulina. He led his group through the streets as fast as he could, but was getting extremely light headed. No, I'm not going to pass out now. They need me. He pulled his strength together when one of the children screamed. He turned to see a giant horde of zombies. Way too many for the group to deal with. Danny glared. "Run!" Everyone ran as fast as they could, but were introduced by another horde. "Oh hell." He made a duplicate and had it go to get the Fenton assault vehicle. He himself started to shoot the zombies with ectoblasts. But it wasn't enough. Jazz noticed this and started to throw grenades at the zombies. Dash and Paulina joined in with shooting the zombies as well. Danny was glad that they were helping with clearing a path, but he was afraid of them getting hurt as he was going to lose consciousness very soon. He could barely keep his eyes open. Even so, he kept on fighting.

Jazz noticed that her younger brother was fatigued. She inwardly gulped. Please let my little brother survive this! It was then when she realized that she was out of grenades and that her gun no longer had power. "Oh god." She grabbed her ecto knife. "I really should have dressed for this!" She shrugged and began to stab all of the zombies in her way straight into the head. But it wasn't good enough as one of the dead was right behind her.

Danny's heart skipped a beat when he heard his older sister's scream. He turned to see her being bitten by a zombie, right in the shoulder. "No, no! No! No! NO!" He shot the zombie with a white ectoblast, completely obliterating it. He flew down to Jazz. "Jazz! Not you too! Please! Please tell me that it's my mind playing tricks on me!"

Jazz looked at her younger brother. "I-I'm sorry Danny. But you know what you have to do."

"No! I can't! I can't do it!" He hugged his older sister with tears running down his face.

"Danny, please! I don't want to become one of them! I'm out of ammo! I'm bitten! I have no choice! Please Danny! Please just kill me!"

"There has to be another way!A cure!"

"Danny, even if there is a cure, it will not stop me from turning by the time you find it! Killing me is the only way! Please, little brother, just end me before I hurt someone against my own free will."

Danny looked up at her. "What am I going to tell Dani?!"

"The truth. Now please, don't make me ask again!"

Danny slowly nodded, trembling. Jazz smiled.

"Thank you, little brother. I love you and Dani. Never forget that."

Danny nodded, raised his hand, and shot her in the back of the head with an ectoblast. He picked up her limp body and went back to the group. He grabbed his scythe and started to relentlessly kill any and every zombie in his path. When his duplicate came back with the Assault vehicle, he called it back and had his group go inside it. He sat in the driver's seat, Jazz's dead body in the main passenger seat. He quickly sped off to his house. When they arrived, everyone but Danny went in. Danny grabbed Jazz's dead body and flew into his backyard. He created a coffin from his ecto ice and placed her in it. After, he sealed it up and did the same with his parents. When done, he went inside, gave everyone sleeping bags, set the house into lockdown mode, and went to his room where he fainted from exhaustion.

If you guys are wondering, Danny already knew that Tucker was going to Sam's house and received a text when he arrived. Anyway, hope you enjoyed!
