Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom.

Yay! My first story EVER! I hope you like it!

Revision: 12-31-06: This was the first story I ever uploaded to the DP archive. For that, it stands as a sentimental example of where I started out, so I will not be deleting it. But be forewarned. The plot is a disaster; the characterization is even more horrific. If you choose to continue reading, for what it's worth, I do hope you can find some kind of enjoyment in it! I guess all writers have to start out somewhere, right?

"Finally! A place away from ghosts!" said Tucker, my best friend. I laughed.

Hi. I'm Danny Fenton and I'm part ghost. In the Ghost zone, they call me the Halfa, or Danny Phantom. I've made a couple of enemies thanks to my new-found powers, but somehow, I've managed to keep it under control.

In our world, though, only my two best friends know about my powers: Sam and Tucker. And they make my life worth living.

It was around 2:00 P.M. and we were all headed off for summer camp. Sam somehow dragged me and Tucker in this... " So.. why are we going to summer camp again?"

Sam put on a fake you-hurt-me look and said," What? You don't want to come with your best friend?" Then she added," Actually, the reason I even considered this was for you Danny. Let's face it, you can punch, kick, and even shoot ectoplasmic blasts but that's it. You need training."

Oh, so she thinks I can't defend myself right. Wait a minute... Sam never told us what this camp specializes in... darn... "Wait just a minute. You're telling me that I can't defend myself, and then you never bother to tell us this is a self defense boot camp until it's too late!" All the people on the bus turned around and just stared me...Now they all think I'm a lunatic and I haven't even said hi yet.

"Whoa Danny. Relax. We might actually learn something really cool, like how to beat up Dash," and with that said, Tucker did a pose. Sam threw her granola bar wrapper at him.

"Please Tucker! we get enough of you during the day! I didn't count on you asking every girl here out on a date..."

I laughed at that, Tucker was forever trying to find the girl of his dreams... too bad every time they said no.

I opened my mouth to speak but suddenly blue steam comes out of my mouth... Why can't they leave me ALONE for once? Is that too much to ask? "Guys... cover me." I didn't want anyone else to see me turn ghost. And for this once, I didn't say my battle cry.

I blinked, and for a second, everything had a greenish tint to it, but then it went away. I went intangible and flew out of the bus. Before, I hardly had any control of my powers, and I still don't, but at least now I could do somethings right.

Once I was away from the bus, I looked around. "Here Ghost... where are you?"

Suddenly I felt a smarting rap on my shoulder blade. ouch... I turned around and there was a ghost I hadn't seen before... and personally, I was just glad it wasn't the box ghost... Anyway, it was tall, in a knight's armor, and it had weapons.

Okay, I can probably beat him, just as along as he doesn't use his sword...

I flew down to him and landed a kick of my own. Unfortunatley, he grabbed my foot and made me do a face plant : right into a garbage truck... aw GROSS! note to self : take a shower when I get to camp...

This guy's tougher than he looks. He also has more modern weapons too. double crud...

" Foolish hybrid! No one has ever been able to delfeat me for the last 4,000 years!" shouted the ghost knight. I gulped as he pulled out from his bags a very dangerous looking weapon.

What is that thing? It looks like something from our social studies books. Wait, I think it's a mace. Ooh, this is not good.

I swerved out of the way as that ball with spikes just barely missed me. Okay, that was too close. I threw an ectoplasmic ball at him and hit the ghost squarely in the chest.

" Argh!" and he started falling from the sky. " You'll pay for that Danny Phantom! I tried to dodge the mace again, but I was too late. It hit my back with tremendous force, the spikes digging into my skin.

" AAAAGGGHHHH!" I screamed as the pain soared to every place on my body. But I was cut off, for next thing I knew, I was flying backwards in the air again, about to hit a building or something else. I braced myself for the impact.

I felt like I was ripped in half when my body connected with the corner of a tall building. Even though I was starting to feel dizzy, I pulled myself off the building a landed a punch on the knight. He reeled back.

Everthing was starting to get blurry suddenly and I couldn't tell where my opponet was... until I felt a fist drive itself into my stomach and the other fist into my jaw...

The pain was unbearable this time,and I was starting to black out once I hit the ground full force...

Sam was right. All I can do is kick, punch, throw ectoplasmic blasts at moving objects. I need training. Too bad I probably won't be there.

I waited for the ghost to hover over me and finish me off. But it never came. Instead, as everything turned even more blurry, ( if that's even possible.) I saw a small shadow comeing my way. Just then everything went black...

Okay, this is my first fanfic, so no flames please! Although I live for reviews... :) if you guys like it, then I will continue with the story,
