Hey people! I am so sorry! I have no excuse for how late this was. I'm deeply apologize. I promise you, I will TRY my best to make sure that this NEVER happens again. I'm really sorry!

I also just want to throw out a huge thanks to all of my reviewers, followers, and favoritors. Thank you all so much! I really, really appritiate all of the attention that this story is bringing in. So thank you! All of you!

I also want to throw out a big thanks to my editorial muse RandomSharkAttack!

Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own Danny Phantom. If I did, Phantom Planet would have NEVER had happened, Dani would have been in more episodes, there would have been more bonding episodes...the list goes on.

Chapter 3: New Comings

Vlad flew over his new kingdom, and went to a low hover at the entrance of his mighty palace in the human world. He flew through the monstrous marble doors, and entered a small garden. He went through another set of marble doors that opened into a large lobby with a grand staircase. It looked something you would see in a fairy tale. He turned to the right and touched down on the ground. He then began to walk down a set of side stairs. After going down about a mile of stair that were all going downwards, he entered a large pitch black, musky smelling room. As soon as you walked about three steps in, you were instantly incased by the odor of blood and mold. But these odors did not seem to faze the new ruler, because he kept walking.

There were large cells along both sides of the room. They looked like cells you would see out of an old western movie. Vlad then walked up to a specific cell and let Jack out into it. The big man tumbled into the stall with a grunt. He then lay flat on the ground, clearly not fully conscious. The older halfa simply slammed the door and showed him no more regard. Vlad then saw two small figures in another cell looking at Jack with much interest. But, Vlad simply waved them off, and began his climb back upstairs.

After the long walk to get out of the dungeon, Vlad made it to the lobby again, and then flew up and fazed though the vast stories of his palace, seeing that every ghost and human follower of his was in order, he went to a very special part of his castle-his new queen's and son's suite. He then released both Maddie and Danny. They then both tumbled out of their containment. Both son and mother were just as out of it as Jack was.

Vlad then walked over to the two of them, and placed a small crown on both of their heads. He then placed each of them in a bed in their own room in the suite. The fruit loop then left the suite. He then flew down the hall and into his own suite. He then changed into his human form and dumped himself onto his bed. He then began to take a not well deserved nap.

Meanwhile, in the Dungeon…

Jack's POV

"Mr. Fenton?" a voice asked through the dark.

"Mr. Fenton?" yet another voice asked.

I stirred awake and tried to look to see who was talking to me. At first I didn't know where I was, or what was happening to me. But, I then remembered everything as clear as glass. From my son, to Vlad, to my capture.

"Mr. Fenton?" one of the voices asked again.

Not knowing who it was, I asked, "Who the heck are you people? And how do you know my name?"

"It's me Sam, and Tucker's here, too." Sam said.

Why would Vlad involve two innocent kids in this? I know he is an evil creep, and I know they were Phantom's friends, and once my old son's friends, but why would they be here? Vlad is evil, but he wouldn't just imprison somebody because they were Phantom's friend, or would he? I decided to ask, "Why are you here? I know you were his friend, but that doesn't explain it. So, why?" I said, putting an evil spin on the word his.

"I take it you already know about Danny, but we were friends. Sam and I helped him fight ghosts." Tucker said.

What a demented sick-a-fant my son had become. Letting his own friends be kidnapped. "Phantom manipulated you two so well. That isn't Danny! And to think you got kidnapped all because of him, too. He sunk lower than I thought he could-" I began to rant before being interrupted.

"Hey!" Sam and Tucker yelled at me.

"That IS Danny! No matter what you say or think, that is the same kid that you have been supporting for the past fifteen years! Whether you like it or not, he is the SAME Danny! Phantom and Fenton are one in the same, and he is my BEST FRIEND!" Tucker yelled.

"And he isn't evil in the slightest! If his hero composer was any bigger, he would blow a gasket! If he cared for you, your family, and us any more he would blow up! You know what his two worst fears are? Hmm! One is himself becoming evil, and two is his parents not accepting him. Guess he knows how that one turns out! What a great parent you are! Danny didn't manipulate us! He protected us and still had time on the side to be the same carefree Danny he always was!" Sam yelled.

They then both yelled, "HE IS NOT EVIL!"

I looked at both of their hazy outlines for a second and said, "That's impossible. What you are saying is impossible. Anything with any 'ghost' either half ghost or not, is evil. You see…"

"Where is your proof?" Sam asked.

"Well, you see-" I was about to say before being interrupted.

"You don't have any. Halfas don't have obsessions. They have thoughts and feelings just like any other human." Sam said.

"Then how do you explain Plasmius?" I asked.

"He is smart. He knows how to work the system." Tucker began, "He is seriously messed up. A fruit loop, as Danny likes to call him," the boy then chuckled before continuing, "You might not understand it, but he hated you for making him a halfa and then marrying Maddie. It drove him into insanity. Then, he thought, that if he had money, then Maddie would want him instead of you. So, he performed a few invisible crimes with his powers. After he saw how crazy Maddie was for you, even when he had more money, he was driven even crazier. But, he thought, if I can get money with these powers, then, he could gain power. So, began his search for power."

Sam then took over saying, "After years of trying to gain power, he finally found a way-but he had to kill or get you out of the way first. So, he began to send ghosts to kill you. Little did he know, but all of the ghosts he sent were getting beaten up by Danny. Then, when all of the ghosts he sent kept coming back empty handed, he invited you and your family to a college reunion, so he could take care of you himself! There, he overshadowed you, and then tried to kill you. But, Danny saved you. But, in the process, he was outted to Vlad, but Vlad was also outted to Danny."

"So, Danny forced a wavy agreement. If Vlad kept Danny's secret safe, and left you and your family alone, then Danny wouldn't out Vlad, and wouldn't kill him right on the spot. Being, that he had a clear shot, and even though Danny had only about four months of practice at the time, he was still had more power then Vlad had, Vlad just had more experience." Tucker finished explaining.

I sat there and began to process the information. 'So if Danny tried to save us from Vlad…Wait! That's impossible!' I then saw the gapping hole in their story. 'Phantom didn't kill Vlad, even though he had a clear shot, out of the respect for their vary kind! He was still just as evil as Vlad! If not more! And if it is true, what Sam and Tucker say about his power, then Phantom is more of a threat to the human kind then Vlad!'

"Well, if Phantom isn't evil, then why didn't he kill Vlad when he had the chance?" I asked the two rebel teens.

"Because, well-" Tucker began to say.

"You have no answer. Phantom really is evil, then." I said.

Then, just when it looked like Sam was about to protest, a voice came from afar.

"Sam? Tucker?" it asked. Then, I saw both Sam and Tucker look to where the voice was coming from, and then back at each other with worry spelled out on both of their faces.

How did you like it? Hate it? Love it? I wouldn't know unless you review.
