"...So this is the ghost portal?" Sam asked curiously.
"Mhm." Danny said blankly. His father grinned at the incredulous teens.
"This'll grant us access to the Ghost Zone, proving we're not crazy!" Jack cheered.
"We won't be crazy after all, everyone!" Maddie cried proudly. Danny, Sam, and Tucker all rolled their eyes, but nodded.
"Now, to start the portal...!" Jack started dramatically, and held the two plugs, and pushed them together...!
But nothing happened. A few sparks. No more. His parents stared, disappointed and depressed at the portal, before dropping it and leaving. Sam turned to Danny, and smiled.
"Why not go explore inside of it?" Sam asked. Tucker stared at her.
"Are you crazy, Sam?! Anyone who goes in there is doomed to boredom. 'Cause there's nothing in there." Tucker said. Danny looked down at his feet and shrugged.
"Well...I..." Danny stuttered.
"You...?" Sam asked. Danny sighed.
"I guess I AM interested. I mean, if this works, this could be so cool." Danny said. Tucker rolled his eyes.
"You're as crazy as your parents, dude. It ain't gonna work." Tucker said with a smirk. Danny growled at Tucker.
"You know what, I think I'm gonna look to see if there's anything I can spite you about." Danny said, annoyed. Tucker rolled his eyes again, and Sam tossed him a white-and-black outfit, with a white base and black belt, gloves, and collar, with a picture of Jack's head on it. Danny pulled it on and zipped it up, but Sam stopped him.
"Hold on..." Sam mumbled. She ripped the Jack head off.
"You can't go around with THAT on your chest." She said, staring at the Jack head, a little annoyed with his dad's narcissism. Danny shrugged, and began to step into the portal...
Maddie and Jack sat at the kitchen table, flicking their fingers back and forth to try to think of a solution before Maddie suddenly sat up, startling Jack.
"Jack..." Maddie started. "...Where is the 'ON' button on the portal?" She asked. Jack's eyes opened wide.
"...Inside...It..." He said slowly. Then both parents looked at each other, and quickly dashed down to the lab, and coming to a halt at the bottom, upon seeing their son wander in with his hand on the wall to see where he was going. They gasped.
"DANNY! GET OUT OF THERE!!!" They shouted, startling Sam and Tucker. Danny turned around, surprised.
"Mom...Dad...?" He asked. He started to turn around, before his hand hit something. It made a 'beep' sound.
"Oh no..." Jack said.
"DANNY! RUN OUT!!! NOW!" Maddie shouted at the top of her lungs. But it was too late. The portal began to whirr, and a green light blasted out onto Danny. He screamed in pain, as the quartet outside shouted his name in worry, while protecting themselves from the green smoke that came out of the portal.
They saw Danny's figure flash repeatedly, showing his skeleton momentarily during the shock. Then the portal began to swirl green in circles, and Danny pulled himself out weakly.
But it didn't look like the Danny they knew. His hair was white, neon green eyes weakly opened to look at himself and the people before him. His jumpsuit was reversed in colors; the normal white base was changed to black, and his belt, boots, gloves, and collar were changed to white rather than black. Danny groaned painfully, looked at his hand, and saw it change to see his own hand's bones, to back to a gloves hand again.
Griping on to the edge of the portal, he weakly pulled himself out further, before finally falling to his hands and knees, placing a hand onto his face.
"DANNY!" Sam shouted, and ran forward from the other people who just stared in shock, and attempted to pick Danny up, before he turned intangible and fell through her hands.
"Oh...My...God...Danny, please be alright..." Sam mumbled, and moved back his right glove to feel his pulse. Upon feeling the normal pulse there, she sighed in relief.
"He's alive..." She mumbled. Tucker slowly walked up to Danny, and, with Sam, picked up his best friend and found a chair to sit him down on.
Unfortunately, he fell through it, landing on the floor with an 'ow'. Sam and Tucker winced, and Tucker moved the chair over, and looked at his friend.
"Danny...How are you still a-alive?" Tucker asked slowly. He then checked for Danny's pulse, and sighed upon feeling it. "Thank goodness, my friend's not dead...But...How?" Tucker asked. Danny shrugged lightly, accidentally turning invisible for a moment at that action, then back to normal.
"What...The...Heck...?!" The trio shouted. Finally, Jack and Maddie shook themselves from their trances, and walked up to their son, pushing Sam and Tucker away lightly, and knelt down.
"Danny, let me see if you're breathing." Maddie said, and stuck two fingers in front of Danny's nose. She felt colder air, but air, come in and out from him, and she sighed.
"You're breathing. But, you have ghost powers..." She said. Then Jack's eyes turned hopeful.
"Danny, try thinking of yourself as you were before the accident." He said. Everyone looked at him, confused, but Danny nodded, and closed his eyes in thought, and before anyone knew it, a bright blue ring formed and separated, going up and down, leaving normal Danny Fenton there. Jack sighed, and smiled at his son to try to lighten the mood.
"Alright, now I need you to think of yourself like you were when you were a ghost." Jack said. Danny nodded, and closed his eyes. The rings formed again and separated, leaving the reversed-color Danny in it's place. Danny opened his eyes and looked down again. Closing his eyes, he changed back again, and looked up at everyone.
"Well, what does this mean?" Danny asked. Maddie and Jack stared at each other for a minute, before turning back to Danny.
"Well, we're not sure how to break this to you..." Maddie started.
"...But...You're half ghost..." Jack said slowly. Danny's, Sam's, and Tucker's eyes bulged.
"WHAT?!?!?!" They all shouted. Danny looked about to faint.
"You mean...I'm part ghost? I have superpowers?" Danny asked. His parents nodded, and Tucker smiled.
"Dude! You're so lucky! You got superpowers! Of course, you don't really know how to use them, but it's still awesome!" Tucker cheered. The rest of the group smiled a bit.
"Yeah, I guess you're right..." Danny said with a small smile. Then Sam had an idea.
"What if you became...I don't know...A superhero?" Sam asked. Danny snorted.
"Seriously?" Danny asked. Then Maddie and Jack nodded.
"That could work. Maybe you were given these powers for a reason, Danny boy." Jack said.
"And we'll be here for you, no matter what." Maddie said. Danny smiled.
"Thanks, guys...Yeah. Okay. I'll be a hero." Danny said. Then Tucker frowned.
"We need a superhero name for you!" Tucker said. "How 'bout Invisobill?" Tucker offered.
"Uh, no." Everyone said in unison. Then Sam had an idea.
"How about Danny Phantom?" She said. Danny nodded.
"That's actually not a bad idea. All in favor of Danny Phantom?" He asked. Everyone's hands went up, with Tucker slightly reluctant due to the fact to his idea being denied. Danny smiled.
"Danny Phantom it is. Well, here's the beginning of hopefully a legend." Danny said softly.
You like it? I might do a series of the episodes after this written on how it would be for Danny to fight ghosts, except with his parents knowing. If you want me to write that, please review and tell me. Thanks for reading my little fic! I don't own Danny Phantom!
