CHAPTER 1

The trio of Casper High's senior class was walking home from the Nasty Burger, the ultimate teen hangout. They all cast quick glances at the sky looking for ghosts. They all stopped when a cold puff of air came out of Danny's mouth. Sam's hand wavered over an Ecto-gun, while Tucker's was clasped on a Fenton thermos. Danny searched the ally for other people before turning in to his alter-ego, Danny Phantom, or as he was known, Inviso-Bill. He shot up in to the air and looked over rooftops. He sunk lower, not seeing any threat. "I don't see anything." He turned towards his friends.

"It's probably just invisible." Tucker pulled a tracker out to find the nearest ghost.

"Ugh, I bet it's the Box Ghost." Sam rolled her eyes. Danny began to float down to the ground, two green beams shot at his friends pushing them against the closest wall. Green goo kept their hands and feet strapped to the brick. Danny spun around to see who was firing. The ghost looked remarkably human, minus the yellow eyes. It was wearing a dark red suit with black accents, and was bald.

"Who the hell are you?" Danny asked, letting his hands begin to glow.

"I am Odious, I'm here to retrieve you." His voice was thick, and before Danny could react he was sucked in to a containment cube. The mysterious ghost floated to the ground and walked up to the two teenagers. "You aren't going to tell anyone what happened to your precious friend, or else he won't be coming back." The mysterious ghost disappeared and the restraints dissolved.

Sam and Tucker walked in to school, their eyes distant, not even focusing on their locker combination as they opened them. Danny's parents haven't even realized that he was missing, neither did any of the students when the two walked in to the classroom without Danny. They sat and waited for the bell to ring, Mr. Lancer stepped in minutes before and took a seat at his desk. When it rang, he began roll call.

"Danny Fenton" When his monotonous voice said the boy's name, Sam and Tucker tensed. "Danny Fenton?" Without getting a response he continued down the list. He began to fill out the absence slip, he looked up at Sam and Tucker. "Sam, why is Danny absent today?" Sam's eyes didn't even move, she stayed silent. "Sam? Ok, Tucker, why is your friend absent?" He turned to his second choice.

"H-he has a migraine." Tucker had to force the words out of his mouth. The old man gave his students a look before writing down the information on the slip.

Five days after their son went missing, they weren't searching for him, they were searching for Inviso-Bill. He had been absent and the Fentons had to catch all of the ghosts that Inviso-Bill usually would. After scouring the Ghost Zone, they got weird signals from a layer. Their device was taken over by a humanly looking ghost or a ghostly looking human, after looking at his eyes, they saw it had to be a ghost.

"Hello ghost hunters, I've got your hero." His thick voice taunted the hunters. "The only way you can get him out alive is by all watching me squeeze the truth out of him." He stepped to the side showing their town hero in ghost proof chains, he was hanging, letting the chains support him. His hair was more messed up than usual and his suit was torn in multiple places. "Make sure every resident is watching tomorrow at noon." The screen flickered then turned black.

"Mads, this isn't just for us, this is for the whole town, we've got to tell the mayor. Even if he isn't as cool as Vlad was." Jack sighed.

"Let's get to the GAV." Maddie was already halfway up the stairs. "We can get everyone in to movie theatres in alphabetical order and age…"

Later that day residents gathered in front of the mayor's house or around the TV watching the news. "I'm afraid that Inviso-Bill had been kidnapped under suspicious circumstances and the only way we can get him out is to make sure every resident will be watching a film tomorrow at noon on your TV, if you do not have a TV, movie theaters will be broadcasting. Each family is responsible for their own members." The mayor nodded and left the stage, Maddie, who was in the front row, thought of her kids. She hadn't seen Danny is five days and knew she should look around the house for him.

Maddie went home and searched, then to the Nasty Burger, and to her last resort, school. "Hello Mr. Lancer, have you seen Danny around?" She stepped in to the Language classroom.

"Hasn't he been at your house with a migraine for five days?" Lancer glanced up over his glasses.

"What? He hasn't been home for, I think, five days." Maddie approached the desk.

"Well, his friends said that he was at your house. They've been delivering his homework." The teacher put down his pencil. "They have been dropping it off, right?"

"I haven't heard the doorbell ring for over a week, no, they haven't. Did they really say that he had a migraine?" Maddie had a sick feeling in her stomach.

"Yes, but they have been a little apprehensive lately, whenever I say Danny's name they kind of stiffen." Mr. Lancer and Maddie got the idea at the same time.

"Something happened to Danny and they know about it." Maddie said before Mr. Lancer could.

Maddie went to go track down the teens, no success whatsoever. Her son had been missing since Phantom disappeared and she hadn't noticed. She searched the city and didn't find him, or his friends. But then, she saw the Tucker and Sam turn a corner in the mall, she ran after them. They saw her and sped up around the next corner, when she reached it, they were gone.

The next day the three Fentons gathered at the TV, waiting. It flicked on automatically. "Hello Amity Park, my name is Odious." He had a sick smile on his face, his yellow eyes read evil. "Now, I've got you all here for a reason." He stepped aside from the camera. On the stone wall behind him, Phantom hung from chains and cuffs. One cuff was on each wrist, on each bicep, on each ankle, and one on his neck. He stood up straight with a set jaw, his suit was torn and his hair was muddled, thin white stubble traced his jawline. His eyes didn't have a glow and they were distant, then they moved to the camera.

"I'm not going to say a fucking thing with a camera around."
