About two months have past after the whole Gregor/Elliot event and the two Guys in White agents being hospitalized and reassigned away from Amity Park. As it goes for Casper High, things have indeed changed. Mainly the unofficial Team Phantom members splitting up. Danny Phantom stopped appearing and to the public a new ghost took up fighting other ghosts in Amity Park. This new ghost was called by the media as the Ghost Fighter due to his constant theme of fighting in either hand to hand or using his hook swords.

For Danny Fenton, he was actually on time for his classes and was able to improve his grades. He did not make straight A's, but rather B's and C's which improved his grade point average. His social status in the school didn't change too much, but he wasn't picked on as much. You see that at one point Dash tried to pick on Danny as usual. However, Danny surprised many people by performing a German Suplex that knocked the blonde jock out cold. Rather than soak up any chance of popularity, he rebuked any member of the A-list from trying to get him to join them. Instead, Danny gained nightlife or rather a ghost life, as he tends to go into the Ghost Zone and head towards a nightclub he found a month ago in the outskirts of the badlands of the Ghost Zone. The only one who knows of this is his sister Jazz. Danny has told her that he wants to know if ghosts are any different from humans as a society. He even managed to get a couple of dates from some ghost girls who have heard of Danny's dual life.

For Sam Manson, she was in a constant fit of depression and rage. She was upset that her friendship with Danny has been shattered. She was mad at Danny for breaking off their friendship, but she was mostly mad at herself. She realized that despite what she claims she was no better than her parents were (Even though she would never admit it.) who have tried to conform her to their way of thinking. To make things worse for her, she and Tucker stopped hanging around together after four weeks. Sam was constantly berating herself for ruining her friendship with Danny and was usually looking for something to take her frustration out on. Rather than look for new friends, Sam isolated herself from others and focused on trying to find a way to fix her mistakes with Danny. Sam became more of loner than the young woman who fought for the rights of those who cannot fight back.

Lastly, Tucker Foley, he actually gave up on trying to fix his friendship with Danny. He gave up after he and Sam stopped hanging out. He was tired of constantly trying and failing to comfort Sam. One time he tried to cheer her up by asking her out on a date. This came as a shock to Sam who asked him why. He admitted to liking her as more than as a friend despite their differences. However, Sam turned him down because she refuses to go out with him because as she told him that she feels nothing for him. Tucker was shocked that Sam could say that with a straight face. Tucker then went off saying that she is still carrying the torch for someone who doesn't want anything to do with her. He even called her pathetic for letting what Danny say to her affect her like this. That ended their friendship with Tucker receiving a black eye and a broken rib from Sam. After that, Tucker tried to hang around other Techno-geeks, but soon left after finding out they had less of a social life than he did. He also tried to find any groups that are willing to take him. However, those groups constantly turned him away. Soon enough he tried doing what he used to do without Danny and Sam. Flirting with nearly every girl in Casper High, particularly Star and Valerie.

As it stands, the trio barely showed any trace of being friends. Danny was a social outcast in human life that can now protect himself from bullies. In ghost life, he was in a way the coolest ghost teen in the Ghost Zone. Sam was the extremely depressed Goth girl who wanted her best friend back. Tucker became more of a school flirt or as some girls call him the school pervert.

Still as of now, Casper High has begun the start of a new school day. For Danny, the day was like any other day he went through. He got up from bed after a night of hanging out at the ghost nightclub 'Dead-Lite' and dancing with the ghost of a cheerleader from the early 90s. He took a shower and got dress for school. He also had a slight change in his normal wardrobe. He now favors a red T-shirt, urban colored camo cargo pants and black short steel-toed boots. He went downstairs to eat breakfast before heading to school.

Danny decided to walk to school instead of flying today. He was listening to his ipod as he looked at the sidewalk ahead of him. As he reached his school, Danny stopped to see Dash, Kwan and several of the school jocks blocking his path. He looked at Dash who was at the center and raised an eyebrow at the blonde jock.

"Fentenia," sneered the star quarterback.

"Hey Dash, still conscious I see? I'm not used to that," greeted Danny with a hidden smirk.

This got Dash mad at Danny for that comment as he stalked over and grabbed the smaller boy by his shirt.

"That was nothing, but luck geek. Now I'm gonna show you who runs this school," growled the jock.

"That's funny, because we're not even in the school grounds. Also I was in such a good mood, but you went and ruined it," commented Danny.

"So?" replied the blonde fool.

"I guess you forgot how much of a bastard I can be…" started Danny before he drove his right knee into Dash's stomach. "When I'm in a…." he continued as he struck the right side of the jock's head with his elbow. "Bad mood!" he finished as he threw a strong right uppercut onto Dash's jaw. The jock flew backwards and landed hard on the sidewalk. After the small beating, Danny glared at the other jocks. Kwan and the others started to take a step back.

"We give Fenton, just please don't hurt us," begged Kwan as he raised his arms up to shield himself.

Not bothering with the jocks, Danny headed towards the school. Dash started to get back up from the ground after being helped up by two other jocks.

"Dash, maybe we should stop trying to pick on Fenton," advised Kwan as he walked up to his friend/leader.

"Yeah Dash, that makes four hundred seventeen losses and zero wins for a month straight," commented another jock.

"NO! I almost had that little dweeb… ugh," whined Dash as he lost consciousness.

About five minutes later Danny arrived to Mr. Lancer's class. Danny took his seat and pulled out his notebook and Literature book. He took a glance at Tucker who entered the class with a red mark on his cheek.

'Figures he would still try to get a date with some girl from the A-list,' thought Danny as he his gaze turned away from Tucker.

Far behind Danny was Sam and she was looking very down in the dumps to say the least. She looked at Danny's direction and noticed how much he has changed. His attitude is more violent as evident from his recent bouts with Dash and other jocks. Before the split, Sam would discourage and reprimand him for using violence, but now she cannot even get him to stay in one spot to talk to him.

'Danny, I wish you would let me talk to you. I really want to work this out,' thought Sam as she looked at her notebook.

Said notebook had little notes related to school. Most of what it has is doodles of Danny in his old ghost form. She did have a couple of Danny in his recent forms. Yes, that is right Danny has multiple forms. They weren't large changes, mostly from what Sam has seen from a distance were slight color changes on his clawed gloves, boots, and belt. The only real noticeable change was the straps he used to holster his hook swords.

As the class began, Danny was taking notes on Mr. Lancer's lesson. As the lesson progressed, his ghost sense went off. Sam and Tucker noticed their former friend ignore the threat of a ghost as he continued to write down Mr. Lancer's lesson. Sam looked down at her desk remembering that Danny no longer fights for Amity Park. Tucker actually glared at Danny for ignoring a possible ghost attack.

'He really isn't going to help anyone? How can he be so selfish?' Tucker mentally ranted. He then stopped his thoughts and remembered why he stopped fighting to protect. 'Of course he won't fight. He has no reason to fight for anyone anymore,' he added as he went back to staring at Star.

Danny's ghost sense has been going off during Mr. Lancer's class for so long that it was getting on his nerves. He stopped taking notes and raised his hand. Mr. Lancer stopped his lesson and looked at Danny.

"The restroom again Mr. Fenton?" questioned the out of shape teacher.

"Yeah, I guess last night's dinner didn't agree with me," joked Danny as he left the classroom.

Outside the school, Danny was in his ghost form flying around the area. His current form had him with his clawed gloves, boots, and belt colored blue and his ghostly aura was blue. His yellow eyes scanned the area around him as he floated above the school.

"Alright, where the fuck are you? You bastard?" cursed Danny as he started to descend to the ground.

Before he touched the ground, a green glowing black skeleton tackled him. Danny hit the eastern wall of the school hard. The young ghost fighter slid to the ground and slowly rose back up to look at his attacker. This ghost looked like a living skeleton with an elongated vertebra to replace his legs.

"So there you are you bastard?" called out Danny.

"Dannnnyyyyy Phannnnnntommmmmmmmmm," growled out the skeleton as he glared at Danny.

"Well I used to be that, but now I don't go by that name," replied Danny, as he stood tall. "Now I'm just your garden variety ghost," he added before he flew towards the skeleton.

He then flipped forwards and delivered a flying sidekick to his attacker. His attack connected to the ghost's chest as Danny twisted to his right to perform a roundhouse with his left leg. The skeleton ghost collided with the garbage dumpster with a loud crack. The sound was loud enough to attract students of the morning gym class. They headed towards the sound and saw Danny glaring at the dumpster.

"Hey, it's the Ghost Fighter!" yelled one of the students.

Most of the students were talking amongst themselves as Danny continued to glare at his foe. The skeleton pulled himself out of the dumpster and snarled at his foe. His skull was cracked open with ectoplasm oozing out of the wound. Several of his bones were cracked or broken off. Three of his rib bones were on the ground and three of his right fingers were missing. He picked up the bones and attached them to his right hand, turning them into crude claws. The ghost lunged at Danny with his new claws stretched out. Danny caught his opponent and flung him towards the school. The ghost collided with the window of Lancer's class.

The students heard the crash and saw the skeleton ghost crack the window. The students nearby freaked out as they and everyone backed away to the opposite side of the classroom. Sam and Tucker noticed Danny far ahead of the ghost and he turned around back towards the ghost.

'What's he doing? Is he crazy?' thought Tucker as he watched the skeleton slowly remove himself from the window.

"PHANNNNNNTOOOMMMMM!" yelled the skeleton as he charged towards Danny.

Sam ran towards the window and opened it. The other students followed to watch the fight.

"War of the Worlds!" yelled Lancer as he ran towards his students. "Stay away from the windows everyone!" he yelled, but he was ignored.

"Do you think that ghost will win?" asked Kwan.

"No way, he's nothing but bones," commented Dash.

"Didn't that ghost call the other ghost Phantom?" asked Star.

"I think so, why?" replied another girl from the A-list.

"Well what if the other one is Danny Phantom?" questioned Star.

"The Ghost Boy? Yeah right, he would tell me if he was," replied Paulina.

As the other student talked about the current fight, Sam watched in concern as Danny fought the other ghost. She saw how Danny was throwing the ghost around with no concern for his surroundings. He didn't even use any of his Ghost Rays, just punches, kicks, and throws. She gasped as Danny turned his back towards the ghost again. The skeleton ghost charged at Danny ready to take his head off.

"TURN AROUND!" shouted Sam trying to get Danny's attention. What she and the others saw next was shocking.

Without even looking at his foe Danny's body was glowing blue. The blue aura was moving towards his right leg. The other ghost was coming in fast as he moved his clawed hand back ready to slash Danny's head off. As soon as the ghost was just two feet away from him, Danny turned around fast and delivered a powerful roundhouse kick with his charged up right leg. The skeleton ghost's head exploded into pieces as his body crashed into the ground and erupted into ectoplasm. Danny spun around and faced away from his destroyed foe. His blue glow returned to the rest of his body. Without saying anything, Danny floated up into the air and flew away from the area.

Back in Lancer's classroom, the students looked on in awe at the power the 'Ghost Fighter' used to beat the other ghost. No one noticed Danny enter the classroom and take his seat. Looking at the reflection in the mirror, Sam saw Danny and wondered why he fought like that. Soon enough Lancer called the students back to their seats. He notice that Danny was back and raise his eyebrow.

The remainder of the class went off smoothly as the day progressed. Finally, the bell rang as the students started to pack up for their next class. Danny was ready to leave, but was halted by Lancer's voice.

"Mr. Fenton, I would like to have a word with you," said the teacher. Several of the students started to snicker at Danny.

"Like I have a choice," muttered Danny as he stayed while others left.

After all the students left, Danny walked up to Lancer.

"Daniel, I've been noticing that your grades have greatly improved. At first I would think that you were cheating….." started Lancer.

"If I was cheating I would be having straight As Mr. Lancer," commented Danny.

"Yes you would, and I realized that you did not cheat at all," replied Lancer. "However, you have been seen fighting with Mr. Baxter and several of the schools football members," he added.

"Outside of school grounds," mentioned Danny.

"Beg pardon?" questioned Lancer.

"You said I've been fighting with the football team, but you never said where I've been fighting them. Every fight between Dash, his lackeys and me have been outside of school property," explained Danny.

"Like the one this morning?" asked Lancer.

Danny raised an eyebrow after hearing this.

"Yes, this morning's fight was outside of school grounds. I believe it was about four yards outside of school limits. So that fight had nothing to do with the school," answered Danny.

"Regardless, you have gotten involved in something that should have never have happened. Therefore you will be serving detention this afternoon," said Lancer.

"Detention? For a fight that Dash started?" argued Danny.

"Mr. Baxter has informed me that you were the one who started to attack him," replied the out of shape teacher.

"I started the fight? He's the one who…." started Danny.

"Scored seven touch downs and completed four successful passes. There by exempting him from scorn," replied Lancer.

"So that's how it is huh? Side with the guy who bullies other students while punishing the victims?" snapped Danny.

"What was that Mr. Fenton?" questioned Lancer as he narrowed his eyes.

"You always do this Lancer. You choose to side with the school's biggest Asshole, who despite being the star quarterback can't win a single game for our school. We have over half the student population cowering in fear of being harassed by the jocks and you teachers have done nothing to fix the problem. Instead, teachers like you side with the popular crowd while the rest are ridiculed everyday," complained Danny.

"Mr. Fenton we have never…." started Lancer.

"Never what? Punish the victims? Last week, Julia King was made fun of by Paulina and her group about her pimple. She talks to the math teacher and she gets detention for 'spreading rumors' about Paulina being harsh to her fellow students. Two weeks before that Mikey has been stuffed in his own locker for three periods. When he reports what happened to him, he gets detention for 'skipping class' while the guy who did that to him gets off free," interrupted Danny. "So tell me Mr. Lancer what does that say about the teachers?" he asked with a glare.

Mr. Lancer could do nothing but stutter trying to find an excuse for all that has happened.

"I thought so; none of you care about the victims. You only care about getting paid and being viewed as aces with the popular group," said Danny as he walked out of the classroom. Mr. Lancer did nothing to stop Danny from leaving. 'He makes me sick,' the ghost teen thought as he headed for his next class.

The rest of the day went by with no ghost attacking and school ended with only one attack. Luckily, due to Mr. Lancer reevaluating his conduct, Danny got out of detention and headed home.

'May I should swing by Dead-Lite tonight? I did promise Jill that I would see her some time this week,' thought Danny as he entered his house and headed to his room.

As he entered his room, he saw a girl roughly his height wearing a blue hoodie sweater and red shorts that show off her legs. She was quite attractive with a slim figure similar to Jazz's body type. She had black hair styled like Danny's hair, but ended with a ponytail. She also has the same blue eyes as Danny. If anything, she could pass off as his twin sister. She was also reading one of his comic books. Danny narrowed his eyes at this newcomer.

"Who the Hell are you and what are you doing in my room?" demanded Danny.

"Not so loud," replied the girl as she lowered the comic and smiled at Danny. "I'm Danielle, your third cousin once removed. You can call me Dani," she introduced herself.

The male Danny raised his eyebrow trying to think of any family member named Danielle.

"You got anything to eat?" asked the female Dani.

Author's note: Wow, I got a second chapter for this story. To those who have reviewed this story thank you. I didn't think anyone would like a story where Danny fights back with Sam on her morals. Still I realized that if I were to continue this story, I would have to more or less rewrite season 3 to make sense with this story. That's fine with me because I actually have a few complaints with season 3, as do many fans. As you can see, I introduced Dani, but I made a slight change with her. It will be explained in the next chapter when I get to it.

As for this chapter, it isn't that great since I spent about four or five paragraphs explaining what happened to Danny, Sam, and Tucker. I will expand on it, but I wanted to have a baseline for what has changed them. To those who might be mad at me for having Sam reject Tucker, I am sorry, but I cannot see them as a couple.

Sam at times shows no real concern for him during season 3. She only thinks about him as an afterthought at best. Moreover, them being opposites does not show any sign of attraction. As I mentioned with xsugarxblossomx Sam and Tucker could never truly be able to handle each other. Sam is too stubborn to be in a relationship with someone who consumes roughly three times his own body weight in meat. Tucker on the other hand can't deal with someone who prefers nature over technology. The only reason they became friends was Danny. Danny is what keeps their friendship going.

Still I am using this story to explore what would happen to them after one argument went south very fast.
