Fallen Phantom

Prologue

Everything was so bland in the room. The walls were gray metal, the door steel, with a small window. Nothing moved or made a sound. Well… except for the fourteen-year-old boy in the corner. He had raven black hair and wore a baggy white shirt with a red oval on the front and baggy blue jeans. He sat, knees folded against his chest, arms crossed atop them with his head in his arms. He grunted in frustration as he touched something around his neck lightly.

The door, which was obviously locked from the outside, opened. Light from the hallway flowed in, illuminating him, but he barely acknowledged it. A shadow appeared in the doorway, and in stepped Danny's captor, Vlad Plasmius. He sighed at the state Danny was in, but smirked. "You know, you could just join me and not have to go through this." He received no response from Danny. "Oh, yes. I know you hate me now, but later you will thank me. I can give you true power!"

Danny lifted his head, revealing his sky blue eyes and ashy face. Around his neck was a collar. It was metal with green spikes on it, every few seconds a spark of green electricity shot through it. He glared at Vlad angrily. "Why would I join you? You kidnap me right in the middle of school, where hundreds of people could have seen me, locked me in a room, and put this stupid collar on my neck! Right, I really want to join you." he said sarcastically, crossing his arms over his chest but remaining seated.

Vlad sighed, feigning disappointment. "That's too bad, because if you don't, I'll just have to destroy your family and friends -with the exception of Maddie, of course- and erase your memory."

"What?" Danny sat up straight, tensed. His eyes were wide with surprise and his mouth was hanging open slightly.

At Danny's exclamation and expression, the older ghost smirked evilly. "Why, yes. Join me, and your friends and family will be spared. Don't, and I'll erase your memory and, well, you get the rest."

"You can't do that!" he yelled, getting to his feet. A ring of light appeared around his middle. It didn't matter, though, because as soon as they appeared, they disappeared, and a jolt of green electricity shot through his body, followed by pain. His legs crumpled beneath him, and he fell to the floor on his butt. His hand went to the collar to tug on it, though that was useless, too, as another jolt went through him, pain following. Danny collapsed backwards, onto his back, and he stared dazedly up at Vlad's grinning face. Some new burn marks adorned his arms, face, and neck, and most likely a few other places.

"You really shouldn't do that, Daniel. That collar was made especially for you. Do you like it? Every time you try to 'go ghost' you will be shocked with special ectoplasmic electricity. The same will happen if you try to take it off without the key." Danny was still dazed from the shock, so he didn't respond. "Yes, I thought you would." Vlad backed of the room, but paused long enough to say, "Do think about my offer, Daniel." Then he closed the door and floated away.

As soon as Vlad was gone, Danny tried to stand up. It wasn't working. He couldn't move. Danny struggled for a moment, and then his arm finally moved. Slowly, he lifted it to the collar and tugged on it. Immediately he was shocked. In his weakened state it hurt twice as much, and he opened his mouth in a silent scream of pain. He released it and his burnt arm dropped to his side uselessly. His vision grew dark, fading; his mind seemed to shut down, processing no thought whatsoever. Slowly, without realizing it, he closed his eyes. Soon, he passed out from exhaustion.

Gottacatch'emall'causehe's… Danny Phantom!

Originally, this fic had like fifty different plotlines that I was trying to stuff into this story. But that wasn't working, and it started to conflict with itself, so I removed almost everything but the main plotline.

So, I'm revamping. Enjoy.
