AN: This whole chapter is a flashback.

Chapter 6

Danny was on his knees starring at the destruction in front of him. It was all his fault. This only happened because of him. They were all…dead and he was the one that killed him.

If only he could have stopped himself in time. If only he had been faster. If only…he had never existed to begin with. Then they would all still be alive and well.

They would have never had to die such a painful death. He would have never had to watch them die. He could still remember their screams of agony. They were all still echoing inside his head.

The images of their pained expressions as they slowly burned to death before his eyes. He was use less to them. He could do nothing to save them. Nothing but watch them suffer.

He saw each one of them take their final breaths. Tears began to pour from his eyes as he watched the rest of 'Fenton works' burn to the ground. He had no one left. His friends and family were gone, and would never come back.

Vlad was about to walk out the door for another one of the mayor's meetings. But stopped when he heard the news on the tv.

Once he saw an image of a familiar red sun burnt hair woman, he quickly grabbed the remote to turn up the volume. The news lady apparently had some breaking news.

"Yes, you've heard right. It seems this afternoon in Amity Park a family home titled 'Fenton works' had been completely burned down. Trapped inside during the fire were the Fentons and two family friends. It appears the only surviving member of the Fenton family was Daniel Fenton. Luckily, he didn't sustain any serious injuries. He was on his way home when the house suddenly caught ablaze. The funerals of these recent tragic deaths will be held next Sunday. So stay tuned for more recent news in Amity Park."

Vlad turned off the tv and slowly sat down on the couch. Maddie Fenton was dead. The love of his life was dead. But she had to have been murdered. How convenient was it that they all died in a house fire?

Once he found the culprit that murdered his beloved Maddie they were going to wish they were already dead. Vlad quickly called his secretary.

"Get me the traffic cam recordings from this afternoon." "But Sr., what about…" "Just cancel the meeting and do what I asked!" "Of course, Sr."

Once the secretary brought the recordings to his office, he spent hours looking through them trying to find the right one. Until he came across the one he needed.

"Found you." He rewound the video to the moment before the fire and pushed play. It showed a ghost with white hair and a pale complexion phasing through Fenton works.

After a few minutes he came back out when the fire began to spread. Then another ghost phased out. It was similar to the first, but with more muscles and an almost blue complexion.

They began to fight each other. Attack after attack, but the older one with more experience seemed to be winning. The younger one looked defeated. He was covered in injuries from head to toe.

A green liquid had surrounded his body. But this didn't stop him from charging head first to the other ghost. He was grabbed by the neck before the attack even reached him.

The ghost continued to choke him and didn't let go of him until there was no more movement. Then he released him slowly as his body dropped to the ground. The ghost took that moment as a chance to leave.

Vlad stopped the video there. He saw all that he needed to see. The one who caused the death of beloved Maddie was right there starring back at him. He would get his revenge, no matter what.

Vlad ran an analysis on his computer to find the ghost. He had the data of every ghost in his computer. It quickly tried to match the ghost on the screen with one in its' data bank.

After a few minutes it finished processing. It found a 100% match. "This can't be right…" Vlad was surprised at the ghost's match. "This has to be a mistake!…Unless…"

What Vlad was thinking was preposterous. But it was also the only thing that made any since. All of the information in front of him was telling him that his hypothesis was true, but it was just a little hard to believe it.

The ghost's match was Danny Phantom a.k.a. Daniel Fenton. 'It has to be a future version of Daniel.' It made the most sense and there was a pretty obvious clue starring him back in the face.

He was wearing a time medallion around his neck. So that alone was proof that he had come from the future.

But why? Why did he have to kill his Maddie?

No matter what the reason, Vlad was going to make sure he would pay for what he had done. He would get his revenge.

AN: Just like I promised. I told you all that I would post this chapter today and I did. I know there would be some that didn't believe I could do it. (I didn't think I could do it either.) But I finally updated on a regular basis, for once. And proved it to everyone, including myself.

P.S. I know that technically Danny's DNA wouldn't be a 100% match to Dan. It would be a 50% match because he's half of Danny and Vlad. But in this story he will only originate from Danny's ghost half. Though he will have a personality similar to Vlad's.

Don't forget to check out my other awesome stories. (Okay, maybe they're not that awesome just please check them out. It would make me the happiest person in the world. :)

And the next update will be in two weeks. So the Friday after next Friday.
