Chapter 3: Secrets Revealed
And now we go on with the story
Vlad's Mansion
Vladimir Masters was known as someone who could be cold, cunning, deadly in the business world. A man who would show almost no fear…except for now, as he would have to face the wrath of Daniel, Danielle, and the the rest of the family.
'Perhaps earlier I should've realized how this could've gone…oh dear, I just hope Daniel can calm Danielle enough so that I can explain.'
Vlad then left his mansion and prepared to go to Amity Park to visit the one he could consider his son.
Fenton Works
Maddie was irritated, almost every single one of her and Jack's theories on ghosts was completely destroyed by the ghost boy…Danny Phantom.
"This defies all logic, ghosts can't reproduce, they don't have the means or the capacity to be capable of such a thing." She said to her husband Jack, who equally was baffled by today's events.
"You can't deny it though Maddie, she looks too much like him to be a sibling, and she called out for her father, and he came immediately afterwards." He replied back.
"I know it's just that in the span of 10 minutes, multiple theories have been shattered. Danny Phantom clearly showed signs of emotion, fear, rage (though all ghosts feel that), protective ness, love, most likely they will have others, even mercy! Plus our theory on ghosts not being able to reproduce, and did you hear what that GIW hunter said before he attacked? Level 10! His power level was 10! Just 2 weeks ago it was at 9.5! The ghost king himself was at 12! This means that Phantom is getting more powerful, and if it continues, he'll be unstoppable if he goes on a rampage." She ranted her head aching from all that she'd been doing that day. " I mean come on! He took us out in one shot, ONE SHOT!, granted he was merciful, he only used a shield on us and did some kind of goop that connected us to a light pole. The other hunters, I wonder if even when he was angry, was he still holding back."
"I know Maddie, I was there too, but you must understand that the answers in science most of the time are learned from mistakes." Jack said to his wife.
"How is it that one moment your such a lovable goofball, and the next you give out some very wise advice?" Maddie asked Jack.
"I'm just like that…now let's have some fudge!" Jack said with enthusiasm as he ran towards the kitchen.
"And we're back to the lovable goofball." Maddie said as she stood up and followed her husband to the kitchen. (1)
Sam's House
Danny, after deaming Danielle, good enough to fly, had flown into the room with her in toe, they quickly saw Sam and Tucker, watching the movie, waiting for Danny to return to explain things.
A silent agreement was placed upon them as they slowly approached them. Danny went to Tucker, and Dani went to Sam. Then all hell broke loose. Danny quickly grabbed Tucker and started screaming, causing Tucker to scream high pitched as well. (Picture it like the video of the fat guy getting scared by the scary maze game) while Dani popped up right in front of Sam who was laughing scaring her as well.
When the four stopped screaming, Danny and Dani, were rolling on the floor, laughing at their prank.
"Why would you do that to me?! I almost pissed my pants!" said Tucker, who's heart was pounding so hard, Tucker thought it would burst.
"Mother******! I am going to kill you Danny!" Yelled Sam in rage.
"Which one?" said the two Phantoms, still giggling from their scare prank.
"The stupid one (hey!) Danny, prepare to die." She said in the most menacing voice possible, it chilled him to his core, and Danny has an ice core! She tackled Danny, who started yelling in pain, while also laughing, as Sam repeatedly punched him.
"Wait Sam, haha, it was just a prank, ow, oh come on. Aha!" Danny said as he managed to flip them over and started tickling Sam on her sides.
"Hahaha…Danny, stop…haha…stop…it…tickles!" She managed to say between laughs, Danny finally stopped, letting her catch her breath and moved away. He lunged forward causing her to 'eep' before going back and laughing again.
"Screw you Danny, now explain why is it that on the 5 o'clock news, you come in looking like Dan and say you have a daughter." She said, Danny immediately paled at what she said.
"What did you say? I looked like who?" Said Danny, in fear of what had he done, he didn't remember much about what happened, just a fight and saving Danielle, that was it.
"You looked like Dan dude, but a bit different. Check it out." Said Tucker as he handed his PDA to Danny. Danny played the video, he got angry at seeing Danielle in trouble, but he knew that she was safe he was scared by the roar of rage that he heard. 'Was that me?' He then continued watching the video, his appearance shocked him! 'My god, I look close to Dan.' He was scared by the brutality of him taking out the GIW but was relieved that he didn't harm his parents. "I did all that?" "Yeah, you did, don't you remember?" "No, I don't and that's what scares me." "On the bright side that was one of the best entrances you've ever made." "Tucker…only you would say that." "Sam…he's right." "Yeah, it was an awesome entrance.'
The conversation continued a bit before Danielle asked a question. "Dad, who's Dan?" The trio tensed up, Danielle then asked "Did I say something wrong?" "No Danielle, it's just that, that story is a hard one to say. You see he's from the future, a ghost who had everything taken away from him and when an effort to take away the pain from him failed, he became evil, and in 10 years he destroyed the world. I was able to defeat him, and seal him up in the thermos. He's locked up for good. He won't hurt anybody ever again. I made sure of that." He said to her, sadness and determination laced in his voice.
Ring Ring
Danny took out his phone and answered.
"Hello?...oh, hey, you saw the news?...What can I say, I consider her like that…oh don't give me that…wait he's there, well this will be interesting…yes I consider her as a daughter…what did you faint…you did, didn't you, that's priceless…alright I'll meet you at home…bye Spazz (I'm not a Spazz!)…alright jeesh, bye Jazz."
He ended the call, and montioned for Danielle to follow him as he flew. "Meet me at my house I'll explain more later."
"Alright Danny, see ya." Said Sam.
"See ya dude." Said Tucker absentmindedly as he continued playing a game on his PDA.
The Phantoms flew off towards Fentonworks with a surprise waiting for them. They soon made it there, noticing that his parents were gone due to the lack of the GAV, they transformed but before they entered however Danny stopped Dani. "Danielle, inside you might not see something that you like so try not to completely destroy it." Danielle walked past him and opened the door. " Come on Danny, what could be inside that is so bad that I would…you…YOU!" She yelled as she attacked the person inside who was it you say? Why none other than Vladimir Masters.
"Now, now Danielle, let's not be rash, I am mearly here to speak to Daniel and-"
"Ragh!" She tackled him and started to punch and kick him.
"Agh!" Vlad yelled as he hit the ground and was hit by Dani's merciless attacks. Danny who took amusement to the poor man's beating, finally decided to pull Dani back as she continued to try to attack Vlad.
"LET ME AT HIM, I'LL DESTROY HIM!" She screamed, rage consumed her eyes.
"Danielle, stop, he's changed, he's not evil anymore." He tried to tell her.
"LIES, ALL LIES!" She said still struggling against Danny's grip.
"Danielle, STOP IT! Now listen I know you hate him, I know you think he's an evil, psychotic fruitloop, but now he's changed sure he's still a fruitloop (hey) oh be quite, but he's changed."
"How did he change?" Dani said, resentment still in her voice.
"Well-"Danny started.
Flashback
"Why is it, that you're always after me Vlad, why do you keep trying to get me as your son?" Danny yelled/asked after he took down Vlad.
Vlad laying on the ground, was filled with rage. Tears brimmed his eyes and finally he let it all out.
"You want to know why little badger, you want to, it's because I don't want you to live the same kind of life that I did, for TWENTY YEARS! I was alone with no human contact! My powers cursed me into living out a life of solitude, and I don't want the same to happen to you. You may be Jack's son, but you're also Maddie's and I wouldn't want her child to live the same life as mine." He said, decades of pain and sadness released at that moment."
Flashback end
"We became allies, then friends, now he's like a second father to me, I finally got him to stop trying to kill dad and be evil, but he still has that crush on mom."
"And Danielle, I am truly sorry, for all that I did, could you ever forgive me?" asked Vlad.
"It will take me a long time to forgive you for what you did, if I ever do forgive you, but maybe we can start by saying I'm sorry for almost killing you." Danielle said.
"All is forgiven little one, now on the topic of today's news, you remember how in the news they asked some questions at the end?" Vlad said.
"I don't remember that, I kinda fainted when I found out Danny had a daughter of his own." Jazz said sheepishly.
"Well here they are." Vlad took out a recorder and pressed a button.
"Who is she?...
"Danielle Phantom"
What is her name?...
"Isn't that the same as the last question?
What can she do? …
"A lot, including being annoying."
"Hey!"
Will she grow up to be good or evil? …
"I prefer good, thank you very much."
And most common of all who is her mother?"
"I don't have one."
(Guess who said which commentary line.")
"That's the thing, when I was in my lab I did some studies and I figured out somethings about Danielle."
Flashback
Vlad was in his lab studying his notes and a DNA sample when he spotted something odd.
'Odd, Danielle's DNA shows two donors, but Daniel was the only one, the material from his jumpsuit. Vlad quickly did some other tests and what was revealed shocked him.
'Danielle, she isn't a clone of Daniel…' "She's the daughter of Daniel and a female donor?! How is this possible, and what's worse is that this DNA is strange, it has a combination of multiple bases, human and ectoplasm, but also has many abnormalites. That doesn't narrow it down at all because basically means that any one of Daniel's female friends or enemies, could be the mother…but who?'
Flashback end
"Wait, wait, wait, you're telling that in your sick fruitloop mind you accidently made Danielle as a daughter with both mine and a someone else's DNA? Danny said, almost fainting himself when he heard the news, Jazz actually did faint, and Danielle just stood there with wide eyes.
'I have a mother?'
"I have a mom?" Danielle asked apprehensively, she herself could not believe the news that Vlad had just given.
"Ugh…" Thump! She had fainted and almost hit the ground until Danny caught her.
"Okay this is going to be very hard to get used to and even harder to explain to that one of the many girls I know in my life could be a mother. "Danny said to Vlad while carrying Danielle in is arms.
"I would'nt be surprised if it was your friend Samantha considering how much you two spend time together." Said Vlad, Danny immediately blushed a deep red at what Vlad had said.
"Ehem." Said a voice in the doorway. The two immediately looked at the immediate direction.
"Uh, Sam, hi, how long have you been there." Danny said fearing at what would happen.
"Long enough, we got here after the first flashback. Now if you'll excuse me…ARGH!" She yelled as she tackled Vlad not unlike earlier with Danielle.
After a few minutes of letting Sam hit Vlad Danny decided enough was enough and pulled her away from him as soon as he set down Danielle. A few seconds of struggling she stopped.
"You good?" Asked Danny when he released her. Sam quickly spun around and punched Tucker in the arm before facing Danny again.
"I'm good." She said to him. "That's for laughing." She said to Tucker who was grumbling and rubbing his sore arm.
"So, what now?" Danny asked Sam seriously, the gravity of the situation finally dawning on the group.
"Danny, I won't lie, this definetly came as a surprise to me, but if there's a chance that Danielle could be my daughter then I'll be there for her. I know what it's like to feel as if you don't have a mother who looks after you." Sam then felt a pressure on her waist she looked down and saw Danielle hugging her.
"Thanks, Sam." Danielle said to her.
"You're welcome, Danielle, and even if I'm not your mother biologically, know that I will be there for you, just like Danny." Sam said as she kneeled down to Danielle's height.
The two quickly hugged again, small tears in Dani's eyes.
"You know, I think this might just work out." Tucker said. A groan could be heard as Jazz finally woke up.
"Ugh…what happened…what'd I miss?" She asked, the others trying hard not to laugh at what happened.
"Well explain later, for now let's just relax." Danny said as they started walking to the living room.
"Yeah, I would like to know about my potential new daughter." Said Sam as she followed them. Jazz just started to go bug eyed before she fell again to the ground.
"*sigh* Somebody help me take her to the couch. I swear Jazz, and you say that you're not a spazz." He carried her bridal style and set her on the couch."
"So tell me more about yourself Danielle." Asked Sam as she and Danielle began to talk.
Danny groaned, to which Dani promptly punched him in the arm after a 'hey'.
At the Nasty Burger
Unbelievably a historical moment was happening, currently the social heirarchy of Casper High was nearly nonexistant as the various social groups of the school worked together to unravel the mystery of the Phantom father-daughter duo.
It was chaos until Dash stepped up.
"Alright everybody be quite before I wail on you." Said Dash with his classic threat. It was old but it worked.
"Now for this time and only this time are the rules of the social heirarchy going to be bent, but as soon as Monday starts things are going to be back to normal."
"Now you all saw the news, what do we know, and what could be some possi-possib-choices as to what's happening." Dash asked.
"From what we saw they look too similar to be siblings, plus when she cryed out for her father Phantom was the one who answered." Mikey, one of the nerds said.
"We can also clearly tell that he shows great anger when someone who he cares about is in danger." Said Connor, one of the band geeks.
"So, it's obvious that the girl must really be his daughter, I mean did you see what he looked like?" Said Kwan, and all of them shivered at the mental images that were still on their minds.
"The sheer ferocity, his appearance, he sounded like an animal, and it scared us. All of us." Said another one of the students.
"You know Paulina's probably gonna's be pissed." Said Mikey.
"She's always been saying that she's Phantom's soul mate, and now we find out that Phantom probably has a girlfriend and a daughter." says one of the A-listers.
"I wonder who's the mother. Most likely she's a ghost that hasn't been in Amity Park before." Said David another nerd.
"Hey did anybody notice how one of the hunters said that when Phantom was angry his powerlevel was 10?" Star said apparently being the only one that noticed that. This sent a shiver up everybody's spine, because nobody truly knew just how powerful Phantom was.
"Imagine if that wasn't even his full power, like you could see he was holding back when he fought the hunters, the Fentons were one example, what if he just went full power, such a possibility is unreal. He could easily destroy everything, and nothing could stop him." Said Mikey. This sent everybody into a frenzy of hushed whispers as to how powerful Phantom truly is.
"It's a good thing he's a good guy, cause nobody would be able to defeat him if he turned evil." Said a random student.
They had no idea how close to the truth they were.
Elsewhere (undisclosed location)
"You've seen the news sir?"
"Yes, I have but that is not important, how goes Project Phantom Hunter?"
"We still have to do some modifications and some calibrating, plus we need to finish up the chassis and the weapon systems but it will be finished soon."
"The prototype is nearer completion."
"Yes, and Project Ultimate Enemy?"
"Almost complete sir."
"Good, that is all, for now we wait until the right time to strike."
"Yes sir."
"One day, I will find you Phantom but perhaps I should start at that which you care about most."
And so it begins, who are the mysterious people, what are projects Phantom Hunter and Ultimate Enemy, and what is the prototype. All this and more will be revealed soon in our story.
Just for fun Within the next couple of chapters at the end of each one I will put a paragraph or a sentence that will be like a teaser. You can read at your own risk and not every teaser will be chronologically in order or expose something in the next chapter.
"She's given me something that I have not felt for over 10 years Danny." "What is that?" "A sense of humanity."
Jack is a goofball, but he's still a scientist, so he should be able to give out good advice everynow and then.
Responses to Reviews
DarkRaptor4-Thanks for the compliment, and I believe that has been cleared up now.

Inviso-Al- All will be revealed in due time. I can't exactly give spoilers.
DannyPhantom619-You actually just gave me a really good idea, and don't worry, I have an idea on what to do for the mom. And in response to your second review I agree that what happened with Phantom Planet was wrong, but I still love her character.
Guest-Oh.
Pir84lyf- Spice there will be.
JulDavid-Thanks.
Danifan3000- Interesting idea, but like I said all will be revealed in due time.
6747-Well I like the idea, that Dan still exists in Danny's mind, that Danny still has the chance to become Dan until he is 24, it's a used idea, I know but it's still a good one.
Ditto453-I agree. I hope Vlad's beating satisfied you.
PhantomWorks-Stories division-I see your logic, for Dan to be the persona of Danny's rage, it's an interesting idea and I have seen it before I believe.
And thanks to all my followers
By the way, my internet is still screwy, it got up, then it got taken down again, and now it's back again, but I don't know for how long, so if updates take a while, forgive me.
Until Next Time
