I took a bit longer than I had expected, but here you are, the second chapter to my story. I don't own Danny Phantom, thought I wish I did...

She looked at the boy, no man in front of her. Still finding it hard to believe and yet at the same time she always knew this would be him. The last two months had been the hardest months in her life, being close to him, having his attention on her, but not really having it, well not how she wanted it. She remembered that fake-out-make-out she had with him to cover up, but there was no fakeness in it from her side, and the way Danny took her in his arms and held her close... The way his lips brushed against hers, trailing down her chin to her neck...

The way he had made her feel at that moment was more than she wanted, it was what she needed. She wasn't an idiot, she knew he had feelings for her, but she couldn't understand what held him back. There was so much in those baby blue eyes of his, emotions she would never have expected. Still, there was this darkness to him, alluring and frightening, but most of all mysterious. Those beautiful eyes of him told her that there was so much more to everything he does, but there is a chance that she will never know.

Sam took a deep breath, managing to clear her thoughts. She listened to the lecture taking notes, but a small part of her was still thinking of Danny, but she pushed those thoughts to the side, desperately trying to concentrate on the lesson. She was so distracted trying to clear her thoughts, she never noticed the bell signalling the end of class, or the cause of her current train of thought standing next to her.

"Sam?" he asked softly in her ear, his breath brushing lightly on her skin and his deep voice sending shivers down her spine.

"Hmm?"

"Class is over, which means school is over, unless you want to stay here."

She nodded and packed up her things, but knocked down her calculator, but before it could reach the ground, Danny caught it and handed it to her with a grin on his face. With a quick thanks she took it and shoved it in her bag getting up and walking out, Danny following her closely. Outside in the hall, he walked next to her, a frown on his face.

"Sam, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, just tired." she replied.

She had noticed odd things around Danny. There were quite a few times his eyes glowed silver or neon green, or the nearly transparent shield that protected her from the attacks of ghosts. She was not stupid, and knew that he had not planted anything on or near her, which meant the shields were somehow made by Danny. The question that bugged her most was, just how did he do it? She knew there was a lab accident last year, but he never explained what had really happened, and people getting abilities from something like that would be too cliche. Taking a deep breath, she made up her mind. Whatever she discovered about him, she would keep it a secret and accept him no matter what.


'Today there has been another ritualistic killing in an old abandoned warehouse, as with the other victims, the person was hit fatally on the head, strangled and had their throat slit almost simultaneously. The blood was drained into a series of channels in the ground, lining Celtic symbols with blood. Citizens are advised to stay away from abandoned areas while alone or during the night-' Jasmine turned off the TV. She didn't need Danny to worry about anything like this... Not after last time...

The trip to Egypt was bad enough, but to have something similar happen at home would not be good for his mental health and for their family in general. She heard gunfire outside and went to investigate, but saw her mother already heading out, she wondered what was happening.


Danny was walking home like every other day, busy watching his favorite series. It would have been normal, were it not for the two thugs walking behind him. The one nodded his head and a few more guys came from across the street, surrounding Danny. He didn't look up, just continuing to watch The Big Bang Theory, but had stopped when they surrounded him. He paused his movie and took out his earphones.

"Evening fellas, what can I do for you?" Danny asked with a cocky smirk.

"We would like to have that pretty little device you have there." one replied sarcastically.

"Well, I am afraid I love this particular 'pretty little device' and you can't have it." Danny said, using his fingers to quote the thug.

"We did ask nicely, Mickey grab that tab."

Rolling his eyes, he grabbed the offending persons arm, using his momentum Danny tripped him sending him into the arms of some of the other guys. The action led to two others grabbing his arms and holding it behind his back, this time he simply sighed. Using his two detainees as support, he threw his legs up into the air, allowing his body to come up and form a straight vertical line perpendicular to the ground, then swinging back the way he came, he launched the two guys holding on his arms forward. The two fell on the ground hitting their heads knocking them out.

Deciding to use their numbers to detain him, the group of 5 swarmed him. "It's been a long time since I actually had some fun..." he said as he moved passed a fist and embedded his own in the guy's stomach. "Let's hope you at least put up a challenge." the taunt was answered by somebody trying to tackle him, this proved to be one of the worst decisions he made as Danny simply moved to the side, grabbed his collar as he tripped him and spun him around tossing him straight into another guy, leaving them in a pile of limbs.

A gunshot brought everything to a halt, but Danny already knew the one thug had a gun. His training had allowed him to catch a glimpse of it while he was fighting. Well, it's not like the gun would help them, but he wasn't going to tell them that. Nor was he going to tell them that his mother had just walked up behind them with a rather large gun aimed at the leaders head.

"Think you're so smart, huh?" he asked.

"Actually dude, I know I am. At least I am not being held at gunpoint with an energy weapon." Danny replied.

"What are -"

The sound of energy gathering in a gun's barrel cut him off. "Now as I was saying, what took you so long mom?"

"Your father wanted me to take the bazooka, so it took me a little while to convince him otherwise."

"Dad finished the Bazooka? Awesome!" Danny said excited. "I can finally act out my dream of being one of those biotic super marines in Mass Effect."

"Well, shall we take care of these pests honey?" Maddie asked.

"Nah, let's get home so I can test out that new toy." Danny said walking over to his mom.

As the two turned to leave, the enraged leader turned his gun towards Maddie and fired. The bullet whizzed thru the air, and met a black gloved hand that stopped it. Danny was angry, no he was way beyond that, he was on the borderline of an explosive outburst of rage. The feral growl that came from his throat was enough to know that, but the way his eyes glowed bright green, that was what truly conveyed the message to them.

"You filthy, piece of crap! You dare fire that weapon at my mother? You should be glad she arrived before I killed you all." Danny threatened, his voice dripping with anger and malice, but the most startling of all was the way his voice sounded. It sounded like more than one person talking simultaneously and it had an demonic echoing effect.

Shadow wraths moved toward the gang, but when Maddie put her hand on Danny's shoulder, they disappeared. Slowly she lead her son back to their home, a sad look on her face as she lead him away. She noticed the wraths responding to his rage and emotions, but she never knew how much control he had over his emotions or power. After they got inside, she told him to go to bed and rest, knowing he wasn't tired at all. It was more so he could calm himself down.


Jasmine watched the whole interaction between her mother and her brother, just the look on Danny's face was enough to tell her that there was something wrong, but how big it was she didn't know. She immediately followed her mother down to the laboratory to ask what had happened. Danny on the other hand went to bed and tried to sleep, but the memory of that day kept repeating itself over and over in his head.

Flashback

Two weeks after Jasmine and Danny freed a ghost, they were headed towards Egypt. Bonum Pythonissam is what the ghost had been called when she was alive, but she never got to pass on her family legacy before she died, thus she asked Jasmine if she would like to inherit her family fortune. What Jasmine had expected was money, but she got more than she bargained for. A grimoire and the blessing of Light to use it's power. Thus when Anubis was set free in Egypt, she was able to use her grimoire and help Danny understand what he was fighting.

Anubis wasn't just a demon or ghost, no he was something much more. A hybrid of a demonic ghost and a human, an abomination to all three worlds. However, Anubis wasn't a result from an accident like Danny, he was a magician that dwelled deep within the black arts, seeking immortality. The madman had obtained his goal, however it came at the price of becoming a part of the darkest race known to man, demons. This particular type of demon was a spiritual kind, that fed off of the souls of it's victims, turning the soul into a mindless minion in the process.

Wraths are shadows of souls that once use to be a person, these wraths are unable to pass on, and is binded to the one who had consumed it's energy. Anubis had made an army of these wraths, all of them doing his bidding, brining him more souls to feed on. Anubis however had been stopped by the power of Ra's disciples who had to sacrifice themselves to ensure he was locked away. Unknown to them a ghost, one of his minions had fled and waited for the perfect time to resurrect his lord.

After sacrificing 21 virgin souls and 3 souls of the foulest men, on the summer solstice and total solar alignment, he broke the seal that had imprisoned the abomination known as Anubis. The Death Lord summoned his wraths and unleashed them onto the unsuspecting population of Egypt. Men, women, children and animals were all taken and drained of their life essence in order to restore his power. Danny's instinct to protect people had gone into overdrive, trying to save as many as he could, but his attempts had proven futile. Unlike normal ghosts, wraths were not affected by ectoplasmic based attacks even thought they were made up out of ectoplasm and dark energy.

The entire family had been captured and taken to the Death Lord to be consumed along with others. The Tomb they were held in was filled with people, ready to be consumed. They could only stare in horror as they saw how the grotesque doglike human sucked the life out of his victims. The only thing worse to the Fentons was when Danny lost control of himself.

There are reasons certain people are never to be angered or put under intense emotional stress... Most tend to break down and cry, but there are a rare few cases where the person becomes hyper aggressive. Danny was one of those people, and as a being that had been completely reconstructed by the supernatural world after his death, he had latent abilities few would ever know of. One of them being able to tap into the branch of magic called Nether-Ether, a deadly combination of dark and light magic. He used this magic to destroy the abomination, releasing tremendous amounts of energy and setting free all the wraths. Most of the wraths shifted into ghosts and passed on, others took the form of Shadows, become humble servants of Danny.

End

"The power he got from Anubis is manifesting itself. We know it's augmenting his current abilities, but we don't know what psychological effect it has on him." Maddie explained. "He was angry at those thugs, and summoned shadow wraths."

Jack and Jasmine were pensive, if something was putting Danny under emotional stress, those Shadow Wraths might just decide to eliminate whatever is making him this uncomfortable. They may be bound to doing Danny's will, but they still had a free will and if they see a threat to their Master and Friend, they will get aggressive.
