Hello, readers. This is something that popped up from my mind for a while after watching Batman: Under the Red Hood. Now this story is like that, but with a Danny Phantom spin so I hope you enjoy it. Now I don't own Danny Phantom since it's a Butch Hartman cartoon.

Enjoy.

Chapter 1: Death

At the City Hall of Amity Park, the white haired man in a black suit, known to all as Vlad Masters, mayor of Amity Park. He looked at the window as he has a glass of red champagne in his hands, as he stared down the window. The look on his face was more serious, and solemn. His expression also showed guilt like he just made the biggest mistake in his evil career. He thought he could control the mad man at his finger tips, a distraction for the boy so he won't interfere with his plans.

But how can things go South from there.

Phasing up from the floor was the Fright Knight, as he's here to deliver the news. Not so good news for the halfa. He knew the situation would went south from there.

"Freakshow has gone too far betraying us all, sir." Fright Knight told him as Vlad threw his drink to the wall, angry that circus fool decides to double cross him.

"I knew I shouldn't have associated with a circus carny." Vlad snarled as he grits his teeth. He does not like to be played with, or have his plans backfired when he couldn't control one of his own pawns.

"He also has the girl, sir." Fright Knight adds as Vlad grew worried about the girl's fate.

"What about the little badger?" Vlad asked him in concern.

"He's on his way to save her, but he'll never make it in time." Fright Knight told him as Vlad looks down in shame. He really didn't want this to happen, no one was supposed to die.

"Then we are too late." he said as he sits on his desk as he held his head as he sigh. 'I'm so sorry, Daniel.'

Every blood she spits out, she has to be awake in order to survive. How did this happen? Just yesterday, she admits her feelings to Danny as he reveals his feelings for her, next thing she knows, she got abducted by Freakshow, who escaped from prison thanks to Vlad, and now is in the hands by the merciless clown, beating her with blunt objects as she is bound in chains.

"Where's your hero now, goth girl?" Freakshow mockingly asked as he held his cane. "You're a little too helpless, aren't ya? Wish that your boyfriend would bust open here and save your skin?" he swings his cane down towards her chest, causing Sam to cough up blood. He was grinning in excitement when he sees her in pain. Good revenge for him, after she interfere his crimes.

'Danny...save me.' Sam thought as she wince in pain from the hit. She feels like closing her eyes and hope that this is all a dream.

"Oh don't fall asleep now, the fun's just getting started!" Freakshow told as he drops his cane as he picks up a crowbar as he aims it at Sam. "Besides, I can't just let my favorite girl to fall asleep on our little game.

"You…sick…freak." Sam muttered as the crowbar is raised up and lands onto Sam's already cracked rib.

Danny flew straight towards the city. He has to attack and beat up Freakshow's minion Lydia to find where he's keeping Sam. He only has a few minutes to rescue Sam, his love of his life for a long time.

He was clueless, in fact he's been in love with Sam since middle school. She was there for him, and he was there for her. But just like Sam, he never had the chance to admit his feelings for him. That's why he pretends to like Paulina like any other boy would while in truth, she was a slutty bimbo to him. Now that he knows that Sam likes him too, he was glad to be her boyfriend now.

'I'm coming, Sam.' Danny declared as he flew down the direction to where Sam will be. He is then found himself on at a dead end. "Damn it, Freakshow!" he cursed as he flew to search for the corrected way to find the clown and his girlfriend, there's no way he's going to give up now.

Flashback

Sam was standing alone at the park, waiting for Danny to show up on time. A while ago, she received a text from Danny to meet her at the park. Curious to know why, she sits at the park bench waiting for the halfa to come.

"Hey, Sam." Danny said from behind as Sam is startled by the boy sneaking up on him.

"Danny, don't scare me like that!" Sam scolds as she nearly has a heart attack. "So, what's up?"

"There's something I've been meaning to ask you, Sam." Danny said as he decides to speak out already. "Will you be my girlfriend?"

Sam stood shocked. This is what she's been waiting for all these years being friends with her long time crush. "Yes, yes I do, Danny." she replied as she tackles Danny and gives him a tongue dancing kiss.

Flashback Ends.

Sam, now with a black eye, teeth missing, bruised cheek, bleeding from the mouth, and cuts and bruises on her arms and legs, don't even mention the few cracked ribs. She was missing her boots as her purple leggings are teared revealing some skin and her toes. Her skirt is torn, and her shirt is torn revealing parts of her C-cup chest as the black strap of her bra is missing. No, she wasn't raped or violated, she was beaten mercilessly by the pale skinned circus ringleader.

"You know, I don't think I've humiliated you enough." Freakshow states as he taps his chin. "I mean, I could've used you for ransom from your very rich family. Then again, I don't think they'll accept damaged goods." he heard her muttering. He crouches down towards her as he grabs her hair showing her bruised face. "What was that, deary?" he asked as he receives blood spit from her mouth.

"Go fuck yourself, you sick, mother fucker." Sam spat as she grins at the clown.

Unamused, Freakshow backhands her to the cold floor, as he maniacally crackles as he wipes the blood from his face.

"You know, you're more fun than that Foley boy." Freakshow told as Sam starts to think what happened to Tuck as well as her last sight of Danny.

Flashback

After Danny and Sam confess their love for each other, Tucker scored on the betting pool the whole town has on for them. He has received a lot of money from Lancer, Dash, Paulina, Kwan, the Fentons, even Vlad himself sent him some money on his account.

The black techno-geek didn't realize it, but someone was glaring at him from the shadows. Tucker stopped as he heard a footstep as he turns around and saw the pale faced circus ringleader he knew too well to forget.

"I'm giving you a count a ten to run." Freakshow told as he sees Tucker scurried away from the clown as Freakshow pulls something out of his coat pocket. As he sees Tucker pulling up his phone to call someone, he pulls the trigger as he watch and laughs when he sees the boy go down.

"Freakshow, what's going on!?" Vlad asked over the com-link in his ear.

"Simple, Vlad, I wanted revenge, and I'm doing things my way." Freakshow replied as he hear a scream coming from a citizen as Freakshow shoots her in the face.

"Stop this, this isn't part of the plan! You were supposed to distract the boy!" Vlad orders but Freakshow ignores him as he grabs his ear piece and crush it.

"I make my own rules." He growled as he walks in the shadows.

As Danny and Sam sat next to each other at the park bench, Danny's phone starts to ring as Danny answers it. "What is it, Tuck?" he asked as he felt annoyed that his friend was calling when he and Sam were going to make out on the bench.

"It's Freakshow!" Tucker exclaimed over the phone "Somehow he escaped from prison! And-"

BANG!

"KAhahahaha!" Freakshow laughed over the phone as Danny grew pale as Sam look worried.

"Danny, what happened to Tuck!?" Sam asked as Danny hangs up.

"Sam, I need you to run straight to my house and get as stay there." Danny told her as he changed into Phantom. "Freakshow's on the loose and I'm going to find him."

"No, Danny, I'm coming with!" Sam told him as Danny kiss her on the lips as he told her. "I can't possibly lose you, Sam. Now go to my house so I can find Tucker."

"Alright, Danny." Sam told him as suddenly, Lydia pops up out of nowhere as she grabs the Goth girl by the arms as she flew up away from Phantom "DANNY!"

"SAM!" Danny shouts as he flew towards to save Sam as Lydia hoist her over the shoulder as she flew in high speed. Danny gets in a matching speed onto Lydia. Unfortunately, Lydia teleports in front of him as this was the last time Sam will ever see Danny again.

Flashback End

"So fun when I left him there to bleed, probably left him crippled for life." Freakshow gloats as he smiles evilly at the Goth, as he raise his crowbar and hits her in the head as Sam can feel her skull crack.

Danny finds the direction towards to the warehouse where Freakshow is keeping Sam. He flew straight to the path as he hopes to find his girlfriend before he's too late.

'I will save you, Sam.' Danny declared mentally as he flew down. As he flew, he is stopped when the mind controlled Skulker, Technus, and Desiree as their eyes glow red. "I have no time for this."

"Going the wrong way, child!" Technus told in a trance like manner as the three ghosts began attacking Danny using their powers.

"Shit." Danny cursed as he dodge the missile Skulker shoot from his arm as Danny shoots him with ecto stingers. He then decides to end this quickly as he unleashed his ghostly wail as he screams the three ghosts out of his way so he can find Sam and beat the shit out of Freakshow.

"Well, I've had my fun." he said as he grabs his coat. "It's getting cold outside, you know?" Freakshow told as he heads out to the door. "I'm going to go head out, while your hero comes and save you." he told her as Sam lay on the floor, glaring at the sick man.

'Well, at least I won't deal with that clown anymore.' Sam thought as she smiled weakly that she's going to be safe.

Freakshow then stops which made the goth girl look confused, and afraid at the same time. He glanced at her from behind as a sickening smile forms across his face, revealing his crooked yellow teeth.

"Looks like the ghost boy will be on his away in a little bit." Freakshow informs cruelly as he pressed something on his watch. "I'll just leave him a prize." he shuts the door as he leaves the warehouse but after he told her. "Merry Christmas."

Freakshow ran down the snowy hill as he gets on his snow mobile, revving it up as he escapes from the warehouse.

Inside the warehouse, Sam hears beeping noises from behind. She turns around, ignoring the pain on her chest, as she looks at a clock ticking. She then realizes that the clock is rigged with C-4 deposits. A look of panic and shattered hope resumes her as she looks at the timer on the clock.

5 seconds.

Danny flew as he finally found the warehouse where Sam is. He was glad that he found it, but he must not make haste. He will save Sam, even if it kills him, fully.

"I'm coming, Sam!" Danny Phantom shouts as he flew close to the warehouse, as he was a few feet close…

BOOM!

He got hit by the force of the explosion as it pushes him down towards the trees. Danny got up as he sees the smoking rubble of what's left of the warehouse.

"No..." he muttered as he look up and saw the pile of what used to be the warehouse. He then lost color when he saw a bleeding hand sticking out of the pile of rubble. "Sam!" he cried out as he rushed towards the rubble.

He phase his hands to grab the girl he loves, as he turns her body intangible. He picks up up from the debris as he change her solid again. His face has become sadden when he sees Samantha 'Sam' Manson, his true love, dead as many burns around her body are visible.

"No..." he whispered as he stands up, carrying Sam's body bridal style as he brings closer to her face. "Sam...I'm sorry."

"What now, Plasmius?" Fright Knight asked his master as Vlad sigh in frustration.

"I'm going to place a bounty on that circus nut, and have the authorities do whatever with him." Vlad told him as he walks out of his study. "The boy will never forgive me for this, but I believe he will never be the same boy again." he said as he walks out to the door as he prepares for a press conference tomorrow.
