Phantom Life Chapter 1: The Nightmare

"Come on guys! Give it your all!"

A meteor was about to reach earth. Danny Phantom and all the ghosts of the ghost zone had gathered to make the earth invisible so the meteor would just pass through. It required all their power and there was absolutely no certainty about this risky idea.

"Alright! We made the earth invisible. Keep it up until the end!" said Danny full of confidence

Skulker hesitated "T-this is sure a risky idea, Phantom. I don't know if we can keep it up this long."

"Don't say that! Don't give up!"

"Look! It's there!" said Poindexter while pointing with one hand in the sky

As Danny looked up, he saw the enormous meteor coming closer and closer. His eyes were filled with fear. What if the ghosts wouldn't be able to keep up their power? He didn't want to think about it, but it was the only thing that crossed his mind.

"I'm losing power! I can't keep this up!" screamed Johnny 13

Danny knew this was not a good sign. As he looked around, he saw all the ghosts losing their power. The huge tube which was used to transport the powers, became less and less invisible.

"Guys! Keep it up, please! We're almost there, this point is crucial, we just can't-"

"Oh god Phantom stop it! This isn't going to work! We're losing too much power!" said Ember in an angry, but scared way

Danny looked around once again. The citizens of Amity Park had the greatest fears in their eyes he had ever seen. He felt like his body was frozen for a while. Then he saw Sam and Tucker's face. His parents. Jazz. Not knowing what he was doing, he let go of the tube and flew to his friends and family.

Sam screamed "Danny no! Stop! What are you doing?!"

"Sam… Tucker… I am sorry. I promised to protect Amity Park from the start. And now I fail at saving the earth. I hope you guys can ever forgive me."

"Danny the meteor's coming! You can still save us! Go up there!" yelled Tucker

Danny flew to his parents and Jazz

"… I'm sorry. Mom. Dad. Jazz"

"Mom? Dad? Who do you thi-" said his mom full of confusion when suddenly, Danny changed to his human form. His parents were utterly shocked.

"Danny?! You are…?" stuttered his father

Before his dad could finish his sentence, Danny gave all three of them a hug. He was crying. He changed back to his ghost form and flew up to the meteor"

"If I can't save the earth, I will have to die within the meteor. Goodbye…"

…

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Danny was breathing heavily. In confusion, he looked around severely. He was in his room.

"Danny?! Are you alright? What happened?"

Jazz ran into his room. She placed both her hands on his shoulders, looking concerned at her little brother.

"I guess I just had a nightmare… The meteor… I couldn't save you guys."

Jazz still looked concerned. It took her a few seconds to tightly hug Danny.

"It's okay little brother. It's all over now.. You saved the earth. And know that I am very proud of you."

She let go of him and showed him a smile. Danny smiled back.

"Thanks Jazz. I'm sorry for being so hysterical.. It has all been a little hard on me. But yes.. it's all over now."

"Good. Hey do you want something special for breakfast? Mom said she wants to make up for all the time they despised you."

"Despised me? Oh you mean me in my ghost form?"

"Yes. They feel sorry for never understanding how hard all things must have been on you.. Hey why don't you get dressed? I'll ask mom to make you some delicious pancakes."

"That works. Thanks Jazz."

As Jazz ran to the kitchen, Danny slowly got out of his bed. He walked towards his mirror, looking at himself. He rather seemed pale and still tired, but he felt relieved. Relieved that he doesn't have to keep a secret anymore. Everyone now knows that he's Danny Phantom and that he saved the world.
