Wow. My first fan fiction! Hope you like. And trust me, if I owned Danny Phantom, I would've turned it into a mature audience show due to there being a lot of yaoi and X-rated material between Vlad and Danny.

Danny stood in front of the mirror. Cuts and bruises of all shapes and sizes covered his body. The most prominent being the blue fingered shaped mark around his neck. Danny was getting ticked at how much Vlad was hanging around. Didn't the fruitloop have major duties to perform. Every moment the mad man got he would attack the young hybrid regardless if the time suited the teen. Each time was rougher than the last. This time Danny barely avoided the magenta energy blast as they had rained around him.

He winced as he wrapped the gauze around his abdomen. Sure the wounds only lasted a fraction of the time than they would anyone else but fortunately there were perks to being half ghost. There had to be. He noted that he would half to run to the store to pick up more after school. He quickly pulled over a red turtle neck and made sure the collar was hiding the bruises.

Danny walked into the kitchen and saw that Sam and Tucker were already waiting for him. He grabbed a protein bar and bid his family good day as he followed his friends out the door.

"Hey Danny, where were you last night?" Tucker asked as he played on his iPhone. " We tried calling you for movie marathon but we kept getting your voice mail."

"Vald paid me a visit as soon as I made it on my street. I know we hate each other but, God, he has to have something else better to do." Danny stated as he played with the neck of his sweater. Winter just barely ended and it was abnormally warm that day.

"You're right." Sam said. "He is the major after all. He should be in a meeting or something, rather than beating on a kid."

"We're the same age Sam." Danny unwrapped the protein bar and bit into it. It was vanilla, his favorite.

"Yeah I know, but compared to Vlad we're children. He is the same age as our parents." Sam defended herself.

"What movie are we watching to night?" Tucker asked, his eyes not leaving the electronic device in his hands.

"That's another thing that bothers me!" Danny said, "He is the same age as our parents but have you actually got a good look at him? He looks like he's in his late twenties."

"I was thinking 'Paranormal State' or maybe we could go to the rental place and chose one there." Tucker blabbed.

"Maybe it's a ghost thing Danny. Who knows, maybe the ghost DNA slows down the aging process." Sam guessed. "Anyway, let us know when he attacks you again. Just give us a call and we'll be there to give you a hand."

"Or maybe we can watch that Animal Planet thing, they're showing a mess of 'Lost Tapes' and that new show 'The Haunted'. Or we could-"

"Shush Tucker." Sam cut the techno geek off.

Danny tuned out the two as they started bickering. Vlad was still on his mind. The billionaire man just wouldn't give the boy a break. Ever since he was fourteen the man tried plan after plan to either get the boy on his side or destroy his father. Three years later and the crazy man has only become more and more of a danger. Last summer he almost succeeded in killing his father. Jazz was even becoming a target until Danny's begging for her to leave for an out of state college clicked in. Jazz would call every other night pumping the hybrid for information on his latest fight.

Another thing that bothered Danny along with Vlad's agelessness was his abnormal disinterest with the boy's mother lately. It hadn't really started until Danny was sixteen when Vlad's plans lacked the part where he captured Maddie so she would become his bride. Now Vlad's ideas only spun around Danny in some way. This only scared Danny when he thought that maybe he would have to add his mom to Vlad's hit list. He quickly put that out of his mind. Vlad's in love with Mom. He wouldn't dare hurt her. Danny thought. Yet a strange feeling hold him that he was wrong in some way.

"DANNY!" A pair of voices called Danny back to the real world. He looked over at his friends who only stared back.

"Jezz Danny don't space out like that." Sam said. Her worry expression set in on her face.

"Yeah dude." Tucker agreed. "Why are you wearing a turtle neck when it's like eighty-nine out here?"

"Huh?" Danny looked down at himself. His black jeans that he traded for his blue pair in the tenth grade went well with the turtle neck. Normally he wore some logo printed tee but lately with more and more battles Danny had to make a wardrobe change. Now there were more long sleeves in his closet now than there have ever been. This shirt was the problem, it made him feel suck up in a way, and it was a little to snug. Or maybe it was just the gauze. "More bruises." Danny left it at that.

Danny, Sam, and Tucker continued with their trek to school, chatting here and there. Unknown to them that they were being watched.

Danny sat back in math class. Over the years Danny finally devolved a schedule were he could fit in studying and ghost fighting. He wasn't the top in the class but he definitely wasn't the worst. His lowest grade was a lest a 'C'. Danny finished the problems on the board just before the bell rang. The other teens scurried into the hall jamming their books into their lockers and slamming the doors shut. Each one wanted to get a decent spot in the lunch line. Danny looked for Sam and Tucker as he Made his way to his own metal closet. It was strange, normally at least one of the two would meet up with him. He spun the combinations in and shoved his text books inside just in time to have the door slam shut in his face. Years of experience told Danny it wasn't a ghost but none other than the star football player Dash.

"Hey Fenton whacha doin." The blonde sneered, his think hand till on Danny's locker door. Danny tensed as he heard the quarterback speak. Standing at six feet five inches Dash towered over Danny's five foot nine. Even after years of intense ghost fighting Dash's muscles out did Danny's by far. Though Danny did have quite a bit of tone. "You gonna turn around and greet your school's hero."

Danny slowly turned his head and peeked up at Dash. Danny hated how Dash still hadn't grown out of being a bully. The football star just couldn't get enough confidence from being good at sports or popular, and Danny was always there making up the difference.

Danny blinked calmly. His long eyelashes framing his electric blue eyes. He knew it was only Dash and himself left in the hall. Everyone else had went to lunch or didn't want to get caught in the cross fire. Since last year Danny had begun to fight back went Dash would start to beat on him, and realized he could do the jock some damage. Everyone did. For some reason this only encouraged the jock to push Danny's buttons more.

"What do you want Dash? I wanna go to lunch." Danny didn't even bother making eye contact knowing that annoyed the blonde. He was right. Dash frowned and arced an eyebrow.

"Wow Fentina, even for an emo you're being bitchy today. What's wrong you on your period or something?" Dash smirked. He knew Danny hated being compared to a girl. "You should get laid, maybe that's what you're needn'."

Danny glared at Dash and quickly slipped under the arm that was still resting on his locker door. He began to walk away trying to avoid what would turn into a fight. The wounds from last night should be faded mostly but he knew another would be hell. It also reminded him to pick up the gauze he needed.

Danny hadn't taken six steps went the jock grabbed him from behind and threw in on the tile ground. Danny's back throbbed as he knew the black and blue markings were resurfacing on his back. Danny looked up and saw Dash tower over him, the jock's hands rested in the pockets of the sports' jacket he wore.

"Look Fenton I was just trying to be nice and all but since you're goin' to be all rude and junk I might as well-" The blonde didn't finish his sentence as he looked up and paled. Danny looked over his shoulder and saw none other than Plasmius. The hybrid floated a few yards away grinning evilly at the two high school students.

Danny heard the sharp squeak of sneakers and knew Dash had made a run for it. The younger halfa stood up and allowed the rings to form around his middle and move in opposite directions. Danny Phantom readied himself for another fight.

"Oh please Danile don't try and fool me." Plasmius sneered, "I know you're in no condition to fight. Especially after the game we had last night."

Danny's eyes narrowed. "You see Plasmius, that's probably what my mom caught wind of so many years ago. That demented part of you is probably what scared her off." Danny tried to take a crack at the older ghost's feelings by using his mother as a weapon. Only to find out it didn't effect the other. That would've worked awhile ago. Why doesn't he chase after Mom anymore? Danny wondered.

The older ghost didn't give Danny a chance as he tackled him and fazed them both through each floor until they hit the basement. Danny knocked the taller ghost off and sent a powerful kick in his direction. Plasmius blocked it easily and sent a punch as a reply. Danny was sent flying into the wall fifteen feet behind him. The scrapes from last night were reopening along with some new ones.

Danny kicked off the wall and flew at Plasmius. His hands began glowing green as he readied himself an ecto beam for the rival ghost. Luckly hit hit on target but didn't get the effect he wanted. Plasmius faltered back a few but only looked back at Danny with a wild grin.

"Amazing Little Badger, you have truly grown into your abilities. Yet they still need some work." Plasmius sent his own beams at the young hybrid who barely missed them. Danny glared back at Vlad's alter ego.

"What do you want Plasmius? Don't you have a city to run?" Danny countered with a few kicks and punched, all were met with a block or a dodge.

"Don't worry boy, there's a clone taking care of everything." He smirked, "I'm surprised, your little friends aren't here to assist you." Danny landed a kick to Plasmius's chest while the elder planted a punch to the younger's jaw. Danny wiped away the blood as casually as one could in a fight.

Danny realized the older ghost was right. If he wanted to finish this fight before sixth period he would need help. Danny zipped past the vampire looking ghost and fazed through the wall. He knew the other hybrid would follow him. He pulled out his cell phone and called Tucker and told his friends to meet him by the football stands. By the time he got there Plasmius nailed him with an energy blast from behind. Danny crashed into the twenty yard line. Just as he came to he saw Plasmius pull out a pair of ecto handcuffs. The ghost stared down at Danny with a manic grin.

"What are you planning? What do you want?" Danny groaned out. He tried to turn over and stand up but pain shot through him from the blast just before. Danny grimaced and tried again. Plasmius laughed and grabbed out of Danny's wrist. He taller clapped the cuff on and Danny howled. The handcuffs were shorting out his powers painfully. He reverted back to Danny Fenton when the other cuff clicked in place. His black hair, plastered to his forehead from sweat, hung in his line of vision. As Plasmius picked him up he could see Tucker and Sam running toward the pair.

"DANNY!" They shouted together as Plasmius flew off with the beaten teen and turned them invisible.
