Ok here is the new story! :) Hope you like, and meet you at the bottom.

Chapter 1: Found and Bound

Danny Phantom flew happily through the sky, with a relaxed sigh he flipped onto his back and looked at the sky.

Clear and bright, it was looking to be a good day.

Surprisingly ghost hunting had been few last night, Ember and the Box Ghost only. Valerie was out of town with her dad to visit family, and he had been able to have plenty of sleep.

The only bad thing about it was summer break would be over soon, but not even that could put down his high spirits.

He closed his eyes and felt the air around him. In a move that he would blame on his 'need for some fun' he allowed gravity take over as he began to fall to the ground like a falling star.

When he started to hear the gasps of people who were watching his fall with his enhanced hearing he pulled up just a foot above AP Park, 'AP' stood for Amity Park and since no one wanted to walk around calling it Amity Park Park, they named it AP Park.

Giving an airy laugh as he shot back into the air and placed him self to head home.

"Hope Sam and Tuck are ready for that video gaming party we are having tonight. I cant wait to see the look on Sam's face when I use the new cheat I found!" His smile was almost evil as he played over Sam's reaction in his head. "Of course she will more then likely kill me after words, but it will be sooooo worth it."

Shaking his head as he reached his home, he ducked into a ally just far enough away from his house to keep the house from detecting him.

That was the one thing that could bring down his good mood.

Apparently, he was slowly turning ghost. Just the thought of it brought uneasiness to him that he couldn't place. He and his friends had actually found out while in the middle of his training a few weeks, almost a month, back.

Flashback:

Danny zoomed around the lab shooting targets left and right.

"Haha, this is getting easier and easier with every practice!" Danny says happily as he hit the final target, making a clean shot through the bulls eye and landing smoothly on his boot covered feet.

"Don't get cocky, Danny.' Sam warns sternly, as she wrote on the chart they always used as a back up when ever the info on Tucker's PDA was lost with it. 'You know Val is getting better, and the ghosts have been too! Skulker almost took off your head last week when you weren't focusing!"

"Not my fault when a random guy just walked right into the street and almost got hit by one of Skulker's missiles!" Danny frowned as he waved his arms for emphasis.

"Whatever, dude. You…ahhhh might want to come look at this." Tuck says, the unease in their friend's voice made Danny and Sam snap to face him with matching worried expressions.

"What's wrong?" Danny asked as he and Sam walked over to look over the techno geek's shoulders.

What they saw made the freeze in shock. They watched on a computer connected to a microscope played, showing a small glowing green blob, that looked like a blood cell, seemed to 'eat' a red blood cell.

"Uhhhh…Tuck? What is that?" Sam says as she watches more closely as the one green blob turned into two.

"That's Danny's blood." Tuck frowns as he spun around to look at his friends. "Remember how your parents told us that ectoplasm was the opposite of blood?"

"Yea, but what does that have to do with this?" Danny raised a confused eye brow as he pointed to the screen.

Tucker took off his hat and rubbed a hand through his short, almost not there, hair and looked at his friend worriedly. "Well when opposites meet it is common that the stronger of the two consumes the other, and uses it to strength and multiple it self."

"In English, Tuck." Danny says, but the hint of nervousness had already began to creep in.

"Danny.' Tucker looked him in the eye and with a bit of a shake to his voice. 'You're slowly turning full ghost."

Danny stared at his friend in shock. "What?"

Sam took his shoulder and squeezed it reassuringly. "Don't worry Danny, we'll figure out how to stop it."

Danny looked at Tuck and pushed past the lump in his throat long enough to ask. "How long do I have-you know before I become full ghost?"

"Maybe a year, around your 3rd Deathday." Tuck says. "Its not spreading as fast as you might think, I'm sure we can find someway to stop it within that time."

Danny remembered that his Deathday, the day he became half-ghost or for most full-ghost, was just 4 days before his Birthday and a week and a half before school starts.

Talk about ironic.

"What-What if we don't find something to stop it in time?" Danny asked, looking to both friends.

That left the trio in silence for a while before it was broken by Jazz yelling into the house she was home.

Flashback End:

Sadly even after a month they still hadn't found anything. Danny Phantom changed to Danny Fenton with a distant look on his face as he walked past the few houses he had pasted by to change. That was another thing that made this even worse.

His parents' weapons had started reacting to him more. It use to be it would only react to him in ghost form or if he had used his powers recently, but now even if he hadn't used his powers for hours they still reacted.

Luck was still on his side as the house's anti-ectoplasm system still couldn't pick him up yet, at least when it was activated.

Sighing again this time out of sadness, he pushed open his door and walked in. Hearing his parents in the lab he quickly moved up the stairs to avoid being dragged into another tight spot with his parents showing him some new weapon to destroy him atom by atom or whatever his dad says.

Hey if you were trying to get away from being zapped, or shot you wouldn't be listening to what they say either.

He heard the shuffling of books and cloth in Jazz's room and decided to check up on her.

"Hey Jazz,' Danny says as he opens the door and talks in without knocking, knowing she wouldn't mind, that much. 'What are you-"

He froze solid as he stared at the tear stained face of his older sister. She sat on her bed, closed books all around her, clothes and blankets crinkled as if she had been moving around a lot. Her hair was out of its band and frizzy as it hung around and even in her face.

Blinking he slowly moved out of the door way and walked completely in and sat at the edge of the bed to look at her more closely, concern taking over most of his confused face as he asked softly. "Jazz, are you ok?"

She wiped her tears away quickly and gave him a weak smile. "Yea, yea I'm fine. How was your fly around town?"

"Good but Jazz, why is the one who tells me I'm a bad liar, try to lie far worse then me?" Danny asked as his eye brows knot. "What happened to make you cry like that?"

Danny could have sworn he heard her mutter: 'Nothing that has happened yet.' but just called it off as his imagination.

"Was it something mom and dad are doing in the lab?" Danny questioned.

She looked up sharply at him, fear and worry taking its place on her face as her hand latched to his arm, and when he tugged slightly she held tighter. "No! Danny don't go down there, please!"

Danny looked at her in shock. What could mom and dad be doing to scare her this bad?!

Danny slowly unlatched her death grip from his are and placed it in his hand as he looked her in the eye. "Jazz. What are they doing down there?"

Jazz burst into tears and held onto Danny's hand. "Please, ju-just please don't g-go dow-dow there. Ple-please!"

"Jazz in less you tell me why your crying like someone died, I'm going to have to go down there and find out!" Danny said desperately, some of Jazz's fear was starting to worm its way into Danny, making him very uneasy.

When Danny had said 'like someone died' Jazz had burst into another sobbing fit.

Danny's eye brows knotted again as he stood and moved his way to the door, ignoring the sobbed pleas of his sister. Whatever his parents did to make her like that, they were going to get a mouth full from him.

As if their roles had been switched, Danny stormed his way to the lab to talk to his parents about what was freaking Jazz out so much.

When he got to the stairs it looked like the lights in the lab were off. Frowning Danny moved down the barely lit stair to the lab, his uneasy feeling seeming to grow with his shadow as he left the safety of the light for the unknown danger in the dark.

Reaching the bottom, Danny looked around the dark room and frowned.

Something was making the hairs on the back of his neck tingle.

Ignoring it like his sister's unfinished warning, he put his hands to his mouth and called out to the spacious room. "Mom?! Dad?!"

The lights suddenly flashed on nearly blinding him. He covered his eyes with his hands with a small hiss of pain, opening his eyes and blinking away the black spots in his eyes he looked up to see his mom and dad looking at him strangely.

"Mom? Dad? Could you have given me a bit of a warning before you turned on the lights? It almost blinded me." He joked, baring his teeth in a lopsided grin.

His parents didn't answer.

He chuckled uneasily, the hair on his neck standing even straighter, if that was possible, then before.

"Hey, are you guys ok?" He speaks one of the many thoughts swimming in his head.

Still nothing.

Deciding he might as well do what he came down here to do he frowned slightly at his parents and put his hands on his hips, in a very unmanly manner.

"Hey, uh whatever you guys are doing down here, can you like, stop? It is really freaking Jazz out or something and she is crying in her room…so can you guys like go talk to her, or something?" Danny ends his small rant with rubbing the back of his neck, in hope to calm down the hairs. Really why were they still up, these were his parents for ghost zone's sake!

Shaking off the weird unease as just his ghost side acting up or something, he smiled at his parents to try to get a reaction out of them.

He was beginning to get creeped out but their oddly intense stares.

He shuffled nervously, why were they staring at him like that?

"Are-Why are you staring at me like that?" He asked, for some reason he couldn't seem to look them in the eye anymore, their stares seemed too intense.

Like a scientist looking at a test subject.

That thought sent a shiver that had nothing to do with his ghost sense down his spine.

"You're not my son." His dad's voice breaks their silence.

Danny's eyes widen as he looks up at his dad in shock, they were still looking at him with unreadable eyes. "Wha-what?"

"You're not our son." His mom says more loudly, her eyes narrowing and dad's hands fisted.

Danny looked down to make sure he wasn't in ghost form or this was just some bad dream, looking back up he knotted his brows and took a half step back. "What do you mean, of course I'm your son."

"No, you're not." His dad grinds out through his teeth, making Danny flinch.

"You're just a piece of ectoplasmic scum!" His mother shouts at him, hand turned into fists and eyes narrowing more.

Danny bleached.

"What-what did you say?" He asked, begging that this was all just his mind playing tricks on him.

"YOU'RE NOT OUR BABY BOY YOU'RE JUST AN EVIL BLOB OF ECTOPLASM!" She screams.

Danny stumbled backwards at the burst and was now staring at them with a mix of fear, shock, pain, hurt, confusion, and about any other negative emotion.

"Why?" Was about the only thing he could think to ask, as he parents got the warming up ecto-weapons pointed at his exposed chest.

"You're not our kid anymore, spook. Now we will finally get rid of you!" His dad says.

A single tear rolled down the boy's face. "I'm still your son, dad! I-"

A deadening sound of skin on skin filled the room as Danny stumbled back even more, holding his face in pain.

His mother's hand still hung in the air. "HE ISN'T YOUR FATHER, AND I'M NOT YOUR MOTHER, GHOST!"

Danny slowly moved his hand from his face as his mother's word finally cut in, his eyes swelled with tears and stunk his hurting cheek as they fell.

Before his parents could so much as think to shot, he had transformed into Phantom and already through the kitchen floor.

His tears mixed with the wind as he flew, his angst sobs falling into the empty breeze. "Please let this be a dream, please let this be a dream. Oh Clockwork, please let this be a dream."

He knew somewhere he could go, at least for long enough to get his head straight. Sam's.

Quickly he moved around buildings and lamp posts as he tried to reach his safe haven faster. Seeing her house come into view he landed behind a tree and transformed again, making a straight bee-line for her door.

Despite knowing it would get him yelled at by her parents he pulled open the door and moved inside. Looking around everything looked clean and empty, that tingling in the back of his neck returned.

"Sam?" He asks out slowly, looking at every corner and shadow.

Hearing foot steps Danny turned to see Sam walking down the stairs with concerned eyes.

"Danny? What's wrong, I though we were going to Tuck's for the gaming party." Sam says as she reached the bottom of the stairs, Danny lunged at her and pulled her into a tight hug and dug his face into her neck.

"They kno-know, Sam! They hate m-me! S-Sam what do I-I do?!" He cries.

Sam stood stiffly in his arms for a moment, which confused Danny till he shacked it off when she hugged him back.

"It's ok, here I have an idea.' Sam says as she pulled slightly away from him and pulled him towards the movie room and sat him down. 'I'm going to call Tuck, you wait here and If I see any signs of your parents you can hide at Tuck's or somewhere."

Danny rubbed the back of his neck, just realizing what he had done, and nodded mutely.

Sam moved away and out of the room, leaving Danny nothing to do but sit and think.

What was he going to do now?

"I sure can't go to Vlad.' Danny shivers at the thought of Dan. 'Maybe I can go to Frostbite or Pandora, I can't stay in the human world that's for sure. What about Clockwork? Did he see this coming? Why didn't he tell me last time we meet? Well he can't interfere with the time line, so if this is not bad enough for him to have to get involved, then that's good right?"

As different thoughts moved around in circles in his head, he slowly lowered his voice to just above a mumble, trying to think of what he was going to do now. After all he couldn't hide out at Sam or Tuck's forever, they would find him at some point.

Looking up as a sound, Danny let out a gasp as he was thrown into the wall by a blinding flash of green.

A ecto-gun shot.

Looking through his daze, and ringing in his ears he saw his mom and dad pointing loaded ecto-blasters at him.

"Ho-how?" Where was Sam? Why didn't she come down to warn him?

"Sadly Danny, that would be us." Tucker's voice cut off his confused thoughts.

Looking slightly past his parents Danny could see his only two friends pointing wrist-rays at him, in a very similar manner to his parents.

If his world already hadn't been turned upside down, it had just done a complete 180 that made his stomach turn.

His eyes darted between his friends and parents, finally he kept them on his friends and asked the same question he had asked his parents. "Why?"

"Because you're dangerous, Danny.' Sam said stonily. 'You're becoming more ghost, what's to stop you from becoming Dan when you're full ghost?!"

"You know I would never turn evil!" Danny exclaimed, the pain of what his loved ones were doing was making his heart and core ache.

"Not intently,' Tuck says. 'But that doesn't stop it from still happening."

Danny tried to hit the gun out of his dad's hand, for fear that if he shot he might hit one of the others, but after the shot had hit the gun Sam had blasted him back at the wall.

He cried out in pain, feeling the deep wound oozing ectoplasm from his chest.

"STOP!" A voice cries out.

He had almost forgotten about Jazz.

Looking through half lidded eyes, he watched as his sister moved sharply past his parents and friends and stood in front of him.

"Leave him alone." She says icily.

"Jazz?" He coughed.

"Don't worry Danny, I'll get you out of here." She says with out turning to look at him. "I can't believe you people, you two are his parents and you two are his best friends! You know he would never turn evil! You're trying to kill your own friend and son, for goodness sake!"

Jazz turned just enough to look at Danny from the corner of her eye, and whispered softly. "Go Danny, hurry."

Danny got up and tried to go through the roof of the movie room.

Then it happened.

Seemed as if Clockwork had slowed down time as Danny turned around slightly, just in time to see his dad aim his sparking blaster at Danny.

He shot and all turned white.
