This will start to make some sense. I would also like to say that all the ideas that are in this story are mine and mine alone. Sorry if I am wrong about a few things in the story. Also, I don't own Danny Phantom.

The Dark Truth

Danny was starting to get board with just sitting around. He had been waiting at Sam's house for at least an hour for Tucker to show up. Micheal was sitting down across from Danny, looking out the window at some nonexistent cloud. Sam was acting like she was reading the book of angels, but all she could think about was the kiss between her and Danny. As she looked up at Danny, Tucker came busting into the room, painting like he had just ran form his house to Sam's (which is what he did).

"About time Tuck." Danny said impatiently.

"Sorry man. Parents gave me a whole lot of chores before I could get out the door." Tucker then sat down and got his breath back, "Besides what is so important that I had to just get over here so quickly?"

"Simple," Micheal said, causing Tucker to jump because he hadn't seen Micheal, "the reason is because I am going to tell you as to why I am here and as to why the Blood Angel was trying to steal this."

Tucker then looked into Micheal's hand and saw that it was the yang half of the amulet that Micheal had shone the group in the book. Now that Tucker thought about it, something was just not adding up. How could Micheal have half of the amulet? Also how could he have a book about angels? (Tucker did some research on the book)

"I am going to answer what ever question you might have Tucker." Micheal said, noticing that Tucker was deep in thought. "First of all, as to how I got the book, all I said was true. Also, as I have said before, there are only five left in the world, though only the location of four is known to you all. I know the exact location of the fifth book."

"Well, where is it?" Danny asked, getting annoyed with all of the drama.

"I have it of course." Micheal said as he pulled out another version of the Book of Angels.

"Where did you get that?" Sam asked for the others.

"I found it years ago. It was in a dinky little book store that was going to be demolished. The owner said that the book was worthless because there was no way anyone could read it. Well I bought it for a dollar and took it home. When I opened the book to read it, I saw this."

Micheal then opened the book and all the others could see was just a bunch of what looked like scratch marks on the page. To Danny it looked worthless, but to Sam, who knew a lot about mythology, noticed that it fit the description of the most ancient language of all time. The language of the birds.

Micheal looked across the table to Sam and noticed her look of shock. As he let the information sink in with Sam, he saw that Tucker had his PDA out and was trying to translate the word on the page. It came as no surprise to Micheal that Tucker's PDA could only say that there was an error and that the language did not exist.

Sam was the first to ask the question, "Is this the language of the...the...birds?"

Danny looked up at Sam with a look of trying to figure out if she was crazy or not. He then looked back down at the book and thought about it for just a moment. The marks on the page did look like bird scratches and they were in neat rows, as if something had written this down.

"Wait," Tucker said in a confused voice, "what is the language of the birds?"

Micheal, Danny, and Sam looked up at Tucker with at look of disbelief. Danny asked him self how Tucker could be so smart and yet so stupid at times. Sam was thinking the same thing, just a little more violently.

Micheal then looked Tucker straight in the eyes and asked, "You really don't know what the language of the birds is?"

"No man. I have no clue as to what it is."

"Alright," Micheal said as he placed his hand over his face, "have you ever heard of the Tower of Babel?"

"No."

"Dear God. Okay, the Tower of Babel was a tower that as long as it stood, every person spoke the same language. Well one day, something happened on earth and god destroyed the tower, causing every one to speak a different language. Unfortunately, some of the languages were forgotten, such as the language of the birds. Now, there were written documents that had thesome of the acientlanguages on them, but they were either destroyed by the people of earth or the angels." Micheal then took a deep breath and continued on, "Well, some of the angels that were sent to destroy all evidence of the language of the birds, figured that they would save several books so that just in case some one might be able to translate the books. One of the angels was Blood Angel, though his reason for saving the book was far different then the others. He realized that if a mortal could decipher the writing, then this person would be perfect for him to take control of and help him win the fight over Dracula."

Micheal then stopped and let the information sink in. To Tucker, this was all lunacy. All he could think of was that this guy was crazy. Sam thought that it all made some sense, because if the Blood Angel picked some one stupid, well it would do him no good what so ever. Danny was thinking that if this was all true then perhaps there is something else going on in the world and he needed to figure out what it was and soon.

Micheal then cleared his throat and continued on. "Well, as for why I was selected, no one but God knows, and she's not going to tell me anytime soon."

Tucker then asked, "She? God is a she?"

"Of course. Doesn't it make some sense. Well, I not going to explain why I believe this, just know that is what I believe." Micheal then looked back down at the book and turned a page to the page with the amulet. "Now, unfortunately, for every yin there is a yang. In other words, in another world or dimension or realm or what ever you want to call it, there is another one of us in the exact opposite condition then we are. So in other words, there is a Danny that is doing very badly, nothing is going right for him. Then there is another me but only, I am a demon. I will explain what this had to do with the amulet later, but for now I guess you want to know as to why I came to Amity Park. Remember the first day when I showed up. I said that I was getting away from my past. Well it's true. When I was starting to enjoy life, a horrid accident happened that caused me to change forever." Micheal then looked down at the book as a tear drop fell from the tip of his nose.

"Micheal, I believe it would be best if I were to show them what happened." Said a voice from no where. Danny recognized the voice immediately as none other than Clockwork.

Clockwork then materialize behind Micheal. He was in his middle form, starring at the book that Micheal was trying to keep covered. All Danny could think about was why Clockwork was here and how did he know Micheal. Micheal then turned around and faced Clockwork.

"Fin if you must, but I am not going. I can only stand the pain once. I will not relive the pain again."

"As you wish. Come children. It is time you learn as to why Micheal has become the angel of Death. Also, it is time you understand as to why you became what you have, dear Danny." And with that, all except for Micheal vanished into time.

A.N.: There will be another version of the story except for it will be the opposite of this story. I will not start on it until I get done with this story.
