Chapter 1

"Where are they?" Danny said franticly as he flew through the air. Usually he enjoyed flying, but just half an hour ago, two girls he knew had been kidnapped. He had trouble thinking as he flew through the crisp, fall air. The sky was in layers of beautiful warm colors. Red, pink, orange, then yellow. If Sam were here…

Sam! He was so worried about her. The colors of the sky were colors that she hated. But, as a Goth, she never wore bright colors. Usually she wore black or purple. Her personality is the exact opposite of the other girl who got kidnapped. Paulina. They really don't like each other. While Sam is intelligent, Paulina is… not. Paulina is popular while Sam is… not. Complete opposites. But Sam is one of his best friends and Paulina is the hottest girl in school… plus he has a major crush on her.

Stop worrying! Think now, worry later… I guess. He thought to himself. Nocturne and Magma… where would their hideout be…?

Oh duh! He thought as he flew past the only volcano near Amity Park. He sped up as he got closer to the mountain.

"HEEEEELP!" Danny heard Sam and Paulina simultaneously scream.

" Sam? Paulina? Where are you?" Danny yelled back.

" Down here!" Sam yelled.

" Omigosh! Danny Phantom knows my name!" Paulina squealed excitedly. Danny could almost hear Sam roll her eyes. Only Sam and Tucker knew that Danny Fenton was actually Danny Phantom.

Danny flew downward into the depths of the volcano, searching for the two teenagers. He found them dangling from a rock that was about ten feet from the deadly lava.

" Danny! You came!" Sam said excitedly.

"Well of course. You are my best friend. And Paulina is…" As Danny said "Paulina" Sam's grateful smile turned into a sad frown.

Danny flew right next to Sam and reached for the cuffs that were holding her to the rock. When he touched the cuffs, ghost-deflecting energy shocked him.

"Great. Anti-ghost cuffs. Now how will I get you guys out of here?" Danny asked himself.

" Let me answer that. YOU WON'T!" A booming voice shouted from below. All of a sudden, a big mound of lava came up. It twisted and turned until it found a human-like form with a face.

" Magma! Why did you capture them? Let them go!" Danny screamed and rushed forward.

" I don't think so, boy." Another voice came from behind him. He turned to see the large ghostly shadow form. The ghost body sparkled like stars in the night sky.

"Nocturne! What are you doing here?" Danny said as the two enemies came around next to each other.
