This is a Oneshot!

Hey guys. This is not the sequel to Personify: Into the Mind, nor is it a new multi-chapter story. It is merely a Oneshot. You see, I've seen a certain AU on fanfiction and such that seems sorta interesting to me and yet not enough for me to ever write a whole story about it. You'll know the AU at the end of the Oneshot. I want it to be a secret as you read.

I hope you enjoy this little... something? XD.

They had just gotten out of school when his ghost sense had gone off. There was no way he could've known there would be something different about today.

"Come on, guys. There's no need for you to come. I'll meet you at the Nasty Burger. It's probably just the Box Ghost."

"No, we're coming. Something doesn't feel right." Sam sighed in worry and crossed her arms.

"Something's not right? What's that's supposed to mean?" Tucker smirked. He was quite obviously not as concerned as Sam.

"I don't know, okay? Something's just… off. I mean have you heard a single scream?" Sam asked.

Both boys got sober at that. Danny's face got serious in a way only Danny's could when someone within his town might be in peril.

"Alright, fine. Let's just get going," Danny finally spoke.

The other two nodded and jogged in the general direction Danny had sped off to once he'd transformed.

zzz

He paused in mid flight while invisible when he finally got to where the ghost was. It was Skulker standing in the middle of the street. There was a crowd and Danny could spot his family and even Valerie. His parents and Valerie, as the Red Huntress, were aiming angrily at the mechanical ghost and Danny was wondering what was keeping them from shooting.

It didn't take much longer for him to figure it out. The ghost was holding a human girl by the hair, a mere child no older than five. She was weeping pitifully and sniffling.

"Let her go, ghost scum!"

Danny picked out Valerie's voice from some of the few shouts coming from the crowd.

"Not likely. I'm waiting for Phantom to come. He won't be able to resist. His obsession requires it, foolish whelp."

"Ghosts only remain on this earth for selfish reasons and obsessions. Phantom won't fall for a trap that could possibly end him!" Maddie returned.

Danny felt a sting of pain in his heart at his own mother's words, but he reminded himself over and over that she didn't know. Just like he always did.

"Ha! Shows what you know, human! You think you understand the dead, but you don't." Skulker then turned a bit to scan the area. "Come out Ghost child! I know you've got to be close."

By this time, Sam and Tucker had already arrived. Sam looked up above the crowd at Danny, almost as if she could see him floating there invisibly. She knew what his choice would be… and it was killing her.

Danny sighed and then became visible, causing people to look up at him. Skulker only grinned happily.

"Let her go, Skulker!"

"Ah, whelp. I should've done this a long time ago. Now come here, unless you want the girl to join the others in the Zone."

Danny grit his teeth in anger when Skulker pressed one of his weapons against the girl's temple.

"I'm waiting, Ghost child."

Danny tilted his head down in submission and everyone watched in slight wonder as he floated down to be in front of the girl and ghost. He walked forward slowly.

"Step on that plate and I'll let her go," Skulker smiled.

Danny glared up at him. "You swear by your afterlife and oblivion, Skulker?"

Skulker nodded and took on a serious look. "May oblivion swallow me up instantly."

Danny swallowed and eyed the green plate on the street, then he walked forward. Maddie, Jack, and Valerie seemed puzzled, stumped even. Though overall still skeptical.

As soon as Danny's feet were planted on the green disc, chains shot up in a spiral around the halfa and wrapped around his arms and legs, crushing him against the cement on his knees. The glowing green metal restricted his arms, legs and had even wrapped around his neck. As soon as Skulker's little trap had sprung, he shoved the girl away.

The human child ran to her mother as Skulker stalked towards his prey. Before anyone could even speak or move, Skulker snapped his arm up and fired the canon at the end of it at Danny's chest.

Everyone heard the uncanny noise of hot energy blasting and flying right through Phantom's chest. It was at that moment, that Maddie, Jack, and Valerie, including any other people who didn't believe Danny was good, froze in shock.

Green ectoplasm ran freely out of the medium size whole in Phantom's chest, down his front and back. Soon a blue liquid also joined the green, pooling around the young ghost. He wheezed once as he same mixture came out of his mouth as spittle. Skulker grabbed his hair and smiled at him.

"And yet they believed you to be a malevolent being, right until the very end. Are you still glad you protected them?" Skulker taunted. "Was it worth the pain of your core being obliterated?" The hunter glanced down at the blue liquid as he spoke the last part of his sentence.

Danny wasn't able to answer before Skulker pushed him sideways, without much effort, and caused him to topple onto his side on the ground. The half-conscious Halfa made out a cry of horror from Jazz, a hindered wail form Sam and a broken curse from Tucker with the fading super hearing he had.

Skulker grinned as he retracted his canon and let his blade extend. "Now… for you're head, boy." Everyone gasped as the ghost rose his blade.

"Stop!"

Everyone froze and looked over to see Maddie aiming an ecto-gun at Skulker.

Skulker rose a mechanical eyebrow. "So now you wish to protect him? How two-faced of you. Then again, humans are almost as good at that as ghosts are."

"Be quiet!" Maddie expressed in frustrated fury and guilt as her husband joined her side with a very serious expression.

Valerie seemed a bit hesitant before she looked over at Phantom's still bleeding and crumpled form. She aimed her own gun at Skulker.

"We also learn though and today we learned we were wrong."

Skulker growled. "You will not interfere." Several guns popped up from Skulker's back and took aim at the hunters and the crowd near them.

The ghost hunters faltered, not wanting to have the thickened crowd get harmed.

"Now where was I? Oh yes, having the whelp's head." Skulker rose his blade again and at it's climax, he was interrupted once more. In the distance a bell sounded. It was strong and melodious and sounded somewhat unearthly.

Lancer happened to be in the crowd and narrowed his eyes. That sound… could it be?

"Charlie's Angels! That's the Casper High school bell! It's hasn't rung in, well, over fifty years!" The teacher exclaimed, which everyone heard from within the crowd.

Skulker grumbled and looked down at his prey once more to continue his swing, before he froze and backed away.

Phantom's form was glowing a pale and calm light blue, shifting his irises to that color as well. Everything on his hazmat suit turned completely white and no longer covered the bottom half of Danny's forearms and hands; his wounds were healed as his changes took place. His skin looked even tanner in comparison to the white of his new suit.

"Impossible! This hasn't happened in centuries!" Skulker exclaimed in fury. "There's no way!" In a rush, he swung his blade and some people screamed.

-Klang-

Skulker felt the tremors run throughout his body and vibrate him away from the down phantom, after the strike. Once in mastery of himself again, he checked where his blade was supposed to have hit and saw no mark on the skin near Phantom's throat.

"It can't be…"

"What!? What!?" Valerie insisted as Sam, Tucker, and Jazz shared a look.

"He… he's no ghost."

The silence that came after Skulker's words were palpable.

"Then what is he?" Someone ventured.

Skulker growled. "A Spirit of Protection or as you humans call them, Angels."

"Say what?" A kid blurted out.

"An… Angel?" Maddie replied, seemingly baffled. There was scientific proof of ghosts before she and her husband had punched a hole into their dimension, otherwise they wouldn't have bothered... even if the evidence had been sparse, but Angels?

Skulker growled slightly and backed up a bit.

"You can't hurt him?" Sam asked.

Skulker grumbled. "When an Angel is granted it's wings, it's skin becomes hard and practically impenetrable."

"But Phantom doesn't have wings…" Jack murmured in confusion.

Skulker face-palmed. "Did you fools not hear the bell?"

"You mean when a bell rings an Angel gets its… oh," Tucker spoke and came to understand by the end of his sentence.

At that very moment, two bursts of the blue aura surrounding Danny shot from his back like solar flares. After a few minutes, the aura formed into more solid wings that looked celestial in nature. One wing was folded under Danny's body and the other draped over his front even though one could partially see through the semi-transparent appendage.

Danny let out a groan and cracked open his now otherworldly blue eyes. He blew his blindingly white hair out of his face.

"What the heck happened?" Danny grumbled and sat up on his rear, only to notice the two wings draped around him. His eyes grew wide in panic and confusion. "Skulker! What the heck did you do to me!?"

Skulker growled. "Like I'd want this! You were supposed to be disposed of! Why did you not ever mention you were an Angel?"

Danny froze. "A what?"

"An Angel, Phantom. You're a fledgling Angel, whelp."

Danny blinked and looked over his new self.

"Angel of Protection over Amity, hmmm… interesting." Skulker murmured and then grumbled. "This stinks, now I have to come up with a new plan as soon as I discover what can harm an Angel."

Danny scowled. "How about you leave, Skulker. Get started on that new plan in the Ghost Zone!"

Skulker scoffed until he and Danny, as well as the crowd, noticed the golden energy crackling about Danny's now clenched fists. The abstract form of a bow and arrow flickered into view briefly.

Skulker's eyes widened and he turned to flee. "I must warn the others. No wonder the child had tanned skin as his natural hue instead of blue, grey or green! Not even Plasmius is like him!"

Danny blinked at the revelation Skulker had provided, before he focused and tried to use the energy again, now that he was standing. Skulker had started to fly away as Danny put his hands and arms in position as if to shoot a bow, going on instinct. He pulled back with one arm and a golden arrow formed in place. He took in a breath and let the arrow fly. It ended up nailing Skulker in the metal rear. He yelped in fright and the arrow glowed and sucked him up, into the Ghost Zone. The Arrows seemed to work much like the Fenton Bazooka, though they required direct contact as far as he knew.

Danny relaxed and the bow and arrow as well as the golden light, disappeared. "Huh… so an Angel? Not a ghost?"

"Phantom?"

Danny turned and saw the crowd standing there, staring at him. He shuffled his feet and accidentally smacked himself in the face with one of his own wings. "Ow." He gulped. "Yeah?"

It had been Maddie that spoke. "I… I believe I'm speaking for my husband too when I say this, but we're sorry. Truly sorry for thinking you were an evil ghost."

Danny blinked and then frowned. "Not all ghosts are evil, you know. Just because it turns out I'm something different… doesn't change that. Many ghosts just are trying to peacefully resolve unfinished business. Then the others want revenge and stuff. Then some aren't sure what they want."

Maddie blinked and then smiled and nodded. "Okay. I see. Forgive us."

Danny smiled brightly. "I already had."

Valerie sighed. "No wonder you're an Angel." She finished with a smirk.

Danny flushed a bit and grumbled something under his breath that sounded something like, 'angels can be manly.'

The bell rang again and Danny remembered time was indeed still passing. He glanced over to see the mother of the young girl he'd saved, still there as well as the girl. She broke from her mother's embrace and ran to him full speed before glomping him.

"Thank you, Mr. Angel."

"Uh…" Danny sighed and then smiled before hugging her back. "I guess that's why I'm here."

"Will you be around?" The girl asked.

Danny smiled. "Oh I will. You may not know it, but I will."

The girl giggled at that and walked back hurriedly to her parents.

Danny then tested his wings and flexed them. "Okay, now how do you make this things fly?" He started beating his new wings, using great awkward flaps to try and get as much air under him as possible. He tried tapping into his core to use the flying power he had had before, but found it to no longer be there. He could still feel the ice, intangibility, invisibility, and even ectoplasm-like material... whatever that new golden energy came from, but no power of flight. Looks like wings only from here on out.

After a moment, he was off the ground, wobbly but still rising. Eventually he evened out, waved and then let invisibility take him out of the visible spectrum.

In the crowd, Sam, Tucker, and Jazz slipped away.

zzz

He had texted them to come to the park. That had been fifteen minutes ago. They weren't too worried and they were somewhat more relaxed when they saw him flying towards them. That was until he started to crash land in a tree. After crashing and stumbling through the branches, he fell to the ground with a thud.

"Damn I have a whole new respect for birds."

Tucker snorted. "Baby birds can fly better than you, dude."

"Oh hush, Tucker," Sam grumbled. She looked at Danny in concern and soon Tucker and Jazz followed.

"Little bro… you're still alive, aren't you?" Jazz asked fearfully.

Danny blinked at them and gulped. Could someone be half-Angel? Had Skulker destroyed him completely and made him into some other being entirely? There had to be something that made him bound to the earth completely, else couldn't like no one see him? Or maybe… he'd slowly disappear.

Sam walked up and placed a hand on Danny's chest, over his heart. Even in ghost form his heart still beat, even if it was very slow compared to his human half. Sam trembled.

"I don't feel anything, Danny."

Danny felt his heart drop into his stomach, that is if he still had a heart and stomach anymore.

"No." Tucker whispered.

"Danny…" Jazz murmured and then clenched her teeth. "Try to turn back!"

Danny blinked at her. "Jazz?"

"Try to turn back, Danny! transform back into Fenton!" He gave her the same sad look and Jazz started to cry. "You can't be dead! You can't! I promised myself I'd protect you!"

Danny's metaphorical breath hitched at his sister's blatant confession, even if in his heart he'd known she'd wanted to do that since she had figure out his secret.

"Jazz, he doesn't have a heart beat. He's… he's dead. Not to us, but physically dead." Sam murmured.

Danny could feel some strange energy flow through him as though he could tell that Sam was barely keeping it together.

"At least let me try. Maybe Jazz is right. Maybe becoming an Angel is a little different than being half ghost."

Sam only looked away while Tucker and Jazz shared a look and watched apprehensively.

Danny took in a breath and closed his eyes. Much to everyone's surprise. A golden ring of light formed around Danny's waist. It traveled up and down to reveal Danny Fenton in it's place.

The three blinked in shock before Sam placed her hand on his chest again, only to feel a normal human heartbeat.

"It's there… I can feel it."

"Me too." Danny added breathlessly. He had been actually thinking it wouldn't work.

"So… Half Angel, huh?" Jazz asked with a bit more emotional control.

Danny smiled slightly. "Who would've thought?"

"I bet Clockwork knew," Tucker snorted.

"He knows everything," Jazz replied.

"Maybe we should talk to him soon and see if you can learn more about why you're an Angel in the first place and what Vlad is and who knows how many other questions we may come up with," Sam spoke up.

"We've got to learn about your species, Danny!" Jazz exclaimed excitedly.

Danny only rolled his eyes in jest. After brief moment of silence, as they started to walk home.

"Hey, does this mean you need a new superhero name? Like I don't know, Saint Daniel?" Tucker teased.

Danny glowered. "No, not that."

"You don't look like much of an Angel with a mean face like that," Tucker quipped. "Wait does this mean people are going to start calling you Angel boy instead of Ghost boy now?"

"Tucker!" Danny growled and started chasing after the laughing techno-geek.

"Bad Angel! Bad!" Tucker yelped out.

Jazz and Sam shared a look. "I'm sensing a wave of future bad, Angel puns from Tucker." Sam sighed.

"Hey since you crashed, does that make you a fallen Angel? Ha- get it!?"

"TUCKER!"

Jazz laughed nervously. "I'm willing to bet on that."

Sam smiled and looked away and up into the blue sky. She could see the yellow sunlight bouncing off of some of the white clouds and suddenly a memory came back to her. A memory of a certain flight with a certain white-haired ghost boy who'd had an oddly golden light shining behind his head as he'd flown with her.

Maybe this change of events hadn't been so surprising after all.

The End.

So yeah, the AU is winged or Angel Danny. It's an interesting thought and especially when you realize that Danny Phantom is the only ghost who has tan or human hued skin which isn't a disguise of any kind. Even the other half-human-half-ghost Vlad has blue skin, like a ghost in ghost form.

Curious, hm?

Oh and the memory Sam was talking about at the end is the one when Danny was flying with her in the Fanning the Flames episode. They're flying and Sam looks up at Danny in Phantom form to see the sun shining brilliantly behind him and she blushes when he looks down at her.

Anyways I hope this was decent and kinda fun. More like an exploration more than anything.

Until next time,

~NoSignal.
