Hello everyone. Today on this faithful day, I have a new addition to my story. Please hold your applause for when you actually read it. Well besides the fact that I am glad you guys like this, I don't have much else to say. I hope you all enjoy this story!

Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom. (not in the mood to say anything else sorry)

When will this nightmare be over?

Danny had been riding the bus for several hours to reach his final destination of Amity Park.

At first he tried flying to Amity Park, but he ended up getting shot at by people calling themselves the Guys in White. They seemed to be cleanliness freaks but all Danny knew was that he never ran into them before and he never wanted to run into them again. Apparently, they were funded by the government and got all the best anti-ghost weaponry

After that ordeal, Danny decided to find another less deadly method of transportation. His first idea was to use a plane, but that was shot down when he realized he had no money. Danny the learned that every plan to get back home required money, something he didn't have. Knowing that his only option to return home was to use...less than upstanding methods to get home, Danny choose the cheapest transportation, in other words, the bus.

Amity Park finally got into view of the bus and Danny couldn't help but gasp from what he saw.

The city was encased in a sky blue dome. The area outside of the dome was burned and torn to pieces. Most likely Tucker has been through that area. There also seemed to be armed Guys in White agents stationed around the perimeter of the dome.

Tucker, what the heck did you do to have armed military everywhere!

A voice came over the speakers on the bus.

"Okay passengers, this is as close to Amity Park as we are allowed to take you. From here you will be protected by an armed escort courtesy of the GIW. Remember to stay safe and good luck!

Danny and some other passengers stepped off the bus and met up with six armed guards who started walking back to the city. While walking, Danny couldn't hold his curiosity anymore and asked a guard,

"So what exactly happened here?"

"A ghost took over a boy and used him to attack the city. One of Amity Ark's urban districts was wiped out. The local ghost hunters were eventually able to band together and force the ghost out of town. They immediately called us after that and we have just been preparing for his return."

Danny looked at the ground letting no one see the pain in his eyes.

I should have stopped this from happening

"So, where is the ghost now?"

The guard stopped moving to face Danny, forcing the rest of the escort to stop too.

"Shouldn't you know all of this? It has been the only thing on the news lately."

Danny couldn't look the guard directly in the eyes.

"I have been away for a while"

The guard, accepting the answer, fell back in line and continued marching.

"Well, he said, the ghost is still somewhere in the area. The last we spotted him he was just outside of the city but when we tried to apprehend him he was gone.. If you want to know more about the thing, you should talk to the Fenton's or Mr. Masters."

"Not the GiW?" Danny asked

"You didn't hear it from me, but the GiW scientists aren't all that bright."

Danny just nodded his head and replied,

"Understood, but what do you plan on doing when you finally capture him?"

The guard turned his head to face Danny and looked him directly in the eyes.

"When we finally capture him, we plan on performing some really painful experiments to learn more about these ghosts."

Danny felt his stomach churn with the thought of watching his best friend slowly and painfully die from the Guys in White. There was no way he is going to allow that.

"What about his humanity?" He exclaimed. "You don't care that he is still human?"

"Look kid, this is all above my pay grade. Now shut up and keep walking."

I knew I hated the GIW for a reason. They are just a bunch of condescending jerks who want to kill my best friend.

At least I know my parents are safe. I guess in a weird way Tucker is too…at least for now. The only people I don't know about are Sam and Jazz.

The escort eventually dropped Danny and the rest of the passengers off at the GIW headquarters in the center of town.

Thinking over a plan, Danny decided to visit Sam's house after first finding his parents.

It is too far to walk from the GIW makeshift headquarters to my house. Great I get to ride the bus again, another fulfilled experience.

On the bus ride to Danny's house he really got to see how his city has changed. For one, every once and a while, the halfa would find an area that was just charred rubble. Some areas of the city were also blocked off to the public. There also seemed to be a lot of military roadblocks. When the bus finally stopped and Danny got off, his eyes widened and all he could think about was what he would do when he finally finds Tucker.

Danny's entire neighborhood was destroyed. Trees were either burned to a crisp of were lying on the street. Parts of cars and houses were scattered everywhere and little to no one seemed to actually be in the area. If he didn't know any better, Danny would think that his neighborhood just went through a war. Then again, it probably did. The only evidence that he was looking at his house was the destroyed ops center dug halfway in the ground. Danny couldn't help but crumble on the pavement and just start sobbing.

Tucker, what the hell did you do!
