Disclaimer: I do not, nor will I ever own Danny Phantom! Gosh was it so bad I had to say it?!

Chapter one: Nightmares

Danny Fenton let out a groan, he rolls over in his sleep and begins to dream...

Danny opens his eyes to see only darkness, he absently runs forward into emptiness.

Danny...

He stops "Hello? Is anyone there?" The voice is so strange yet, familiar...

Danny Fenton...

"Sam? Tuck?" he calls to no one.

The Darkness ... it lives within you...

"What are you talking about?!"

It consumes you Danny...

"Shut Up!" Danny screams holding his head in pain.

You are doomed to destroy those you love...

"I'm going ghost!" Danny opens his eyes in alarm. Nothing happens. "What did you do to me?!"

It is what you do to you...

The ground falls away, Danny falls through the black void, he reaches out to grab anything, but his fingers find nothing. He feels his body slow then draw to a stop. He slowly stands up. He surveys the space around him. Odd symbols covered a wall... no a window? They begin to move, dancing, back and forth, then join together in an odd shape.

The shape become a person.

The person becomes a reflection.

"No..." Danny's voice barely a whisper of breath. The reflection is an almost perfect image of Danny Phantom his alter ego. The thing in the mirror smiled evilly showing sharp white fangs. His eyes glowing brightly, blood red. It began to laugh maniacally.

"No!! Stop! I'M NOT YOU!!!"

Or so you think...

Danny Fenton

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" Danny awoke breathing heavily. His sheets were covered in sweat. What does it mean? His train of thought was interrupted by Jazz.

" Danny what's wrong?!"Jazz burst through the door, firing aimlessly with the fenton thermos.

" Jeez Jazz," he mumbled ducking so that he wouldn't be sucked into the thermos, "it's just a nightmare, no need to suck up my room with me inside!"

She blushed, "Sorry, I'm still new at this..." she looked worriedly at Danny "Are you going to be OK?"

Danny couldn't help smiling at his sister's concern. "Everything's fine Jazz. Just a nightmare"

Jazz smiled, and headed for the door, she hesitated looking back at Danny then closed the door behind her. Danny sighed, and lay back on his pillow. The darkness lives within you? What could that mean? He pondered this as he fell slowly into a restless sleep.

Danny Fenton

Yawn

"Dude, what happened to you last night, you look like a wreck." Tucker Foley, asked.

"I dunno Tuck, I had this really weird nightmare." Danny yawned again, then looked at his best friend, "There was this weird voice that kept chanting something about the darkness consuming me."

"Weird, think it means something?" Tucker pondered.

"Doubt it, I mean it's just a dream right?" Danny looked unsure. Tucker noticing this quickly changed the subject.

"Hey, meet me and Sam at the Nasty burger?"

"Sure, that is, if I'm still awake..." He was interrupted by Sam who was waving a flier excitedly in his face.

"What's that?" Tucker and Danny chimed in unison, mostly just humoring Sam.

"The school is having fund-raising concert Saturday! The whole school will be there." The two boys looked at her in confusion. "Look, I don't usually get so excited about these things but look who's playing!" They both looked at the flier. 'Black Widows' was printed in black and red across the front, they were one of Sam's favorites. "So, will you come?" Frankly Tucker and Danny hadn't seen Sam so excited since... well since ever. So eventually the two friends complied.

Danny Fenton/Phantom

The next couple of days were torture. Danny was constantly tired, caused by the lack of sleep brought on by the recurring nightmare. Each night the voice was louder, the reflectionin the mirror more haunting. And ghost hunting wasn't helping... Danny's fighting was becoming harder and harder for the struggling half-ghost.

"Come on whelp, you can do better than that," Skulker noted as he shot numerous ecto-missiles toward Danny Phantom.

"Sorry for disappointing you, Skulker." Danny yelled aiming an ecto-blast directly at Skulkers cannon. It blew up, with a thunderous boom. The explosion knocked Danny into a nearby brick building. He went intangible the last second. Through the smoke, the mechanical ghost looked impatiently for the rest of the attack."Come on Ghost child, I came to this world for a decent fight"

A black and white blur shot underneath skulker hitting him with powerful uppercut. "I'm sick and tired of you constantly getting in my way!" Danny Phantom screamed, something was different, his normally glowing emerald eyes, gleamed a crimson red.

"I see you are finally, beggining to put up a fight" Skulker laughed heartily, as if he didn't think this halfa would put up a fraction of a fight.

"Aaaarrrrggggghhhh!" Danny flew at Skulker with a new energy, anger flared within him. Somewhere a voice questioned his sudden burst of rage, but the thought was soon burned by a thought of hate. Numerous missles were launched Phantom's way, only to be destroyed by a flick of his wrist. "Come on Skulker, you can do better than that." Danny laughed evilly, victory would soon be his. Skulker shivered from within his armor, the air aroung the ghost child suddenly changed. It was as if the air around him burned with fury. With a another laugh, the Phantom was on him again, hammering the armored ghosts with a storm of kicks and punchs. Danny's hand glowed with ecto-energy ready to be released. But something was wrong, observed Sam who had just arrived with Tucker on the ground. The normally green ghost energy was changed a horrifing red. Danny Phantom put his hands toghether. A red ball of energy started to grow, until it was about the size of a basketball. A badly beaten Skulker huddled in a corner.

"P-please Phantom, h-have mercy..."

"Ha, did you every give me mercy when you tried to hunt me!? NO!! I threatened to mount my head on the wall!" He let the large ball of red energy toward the fearful ghost, but before it hit A blue light flashed as Skulker was sucked into an awaiting Fenton Thermos.

"Why did you do that?!" Danny screamed at Sam.

"Danny! Get ahold of yourself! you were going to kill him... well rekill him..."

"Why is it any of your buiness anyway? I have the ghost powers!"

"Dude, what's gotten into you?" Tuck said finally entering the arguement "Stop yelling at us we're only tring to help!" Still in his ghost form Danny floated above them staring blankly at his friends. He blinked his eyes turning from blood red to thier normal green. Suddenly he dropped, heavily between his friends. With a loud whoosh two rings appeared at his waist, slowly they split one traveling up the other down. Danny Fenton lay where Danny Phantom once was.

"Danny!" both his friends cried.

"Danny, something's wrong!"

"What makes you yawn say that" Tucker and Sam look at each other as Danny fell into unconciosness. The two worried friends, dragged a sleeping Danny to the Fentonworks.

Danny Fenton

"Hello?" Danny calls into the now familiar black void.

Midnight it will come...

"I'm tired of this... WHO ARE YOU?!" Danny lets out a frustrated sigh. The voice hesitates before speaking.

I am the evil awaiting for you to wake me Danny...

"What?"

Midnight, tomorrow night.. The darkness awakens...

"Come out and fight!"

As you wish... the voice is venomous. Yet still so familiar... Danny Phantom steps out of the darkness. He smiles showing his teeth. Danny gasps in fear...

"No!" You can't be me, you can't!"

Oh, but I am... The dark Danny begins to change shape, taller, more muscular. His white fluffy hair catching fire, his skin turning blue.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" His future self lunges at Danny, pinning him to the ground. Danny tries to go ghost but it's useless.

"By midnight the darkness comes, by the new moon you'll be mine."

Ohhhh didn't see that coming. Sorry this chapter's so short. The next chapter is coming soon!(hopefully longer)
