Chapter 4: My Son

I drove over to the nasty burger where Danny's teacher was supposed to meet us. I had no idea what he wanted, he talked to Maddie, but she said that he sounded urgent.

We finally got there and I saw Mr. Lancer standing there with what looked like a folder in his hand.

"Mr. Lancer sounded urgent on the phone, Danny is something wrong?" my wife asked Danny

"Not yet" Danny answered, I had no idea what he meant by that but had a feeling that it wasn't good.

I got out of the car and headed over to Mr. Lancer, he instantly started talking "Mr. and Mrs. Fenton, Daniel, this is the nasty burger, when people fail, this is where they end up. Either they failed because they didn't study, or because they cheated!"

I gasped, I mean, I know that I didn't pass the C.A.T. But I didn't cheat "Danny is this true?"

"Did you cheat?"

"YOU'VE GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE!"

I turned around to see Tucker and Sam run towards us, I don't know what they were doing; in fact, I had no idea what the world was going on at all, I was so lost!

"The nasty burger's going to blow! AND WE'RE THREE FEET FROM IT!"

Now I was more confused than ever.

"SOUTH BEACH DIET PEOPLE WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?"

Now what did south beach diet have anything to do with the C.A.T. and the nasty burger blowing up?

"I'll tell you what's going on!"

I turned around to see my daughter Jazz running towards us with the Fenton Ghost Peeler in her hand, by this time I had no idea what was going on.

"Or better yet, show you!"

The next thing I knew Danny was being ripped apart by the ghost peeler and was replaced by some other guy lying on the floor. Now I was totally lost.

"THAT'S NOT DANNY!"

Now I realized what was happening, that wasn't my son, it was a ghost that took over my son's identity! I knew that my own son would never cheat on a test! But then where was my real son? Then I realized that this ghost took him! Nobody takes my son!

I ran over to the ghost and took out my ghost weapon out of my pocket and pointed it at the ghost, Maddie did the same thing too "Where is he? WHERE'S OUR SON?"

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO OUT BOY?"

The ghost just laughed and then looked up at us "I am your boy."

"WHAT?"

I gasped, what was that supposed to mean? He looked a lot like the ghost boy too, I wonder, no, it can't be! Danny?

"What kind of parents are you anyway, the worlds leading ghost experts and you can't even figure out that your own son was half ghost."

I couldn't think of anything else to say, I was so shocked right now so I just turned to Maddie and said "For the record I blame you."

I thought Maddie was going to give me a glare but she was so shocked to even give me one, she just turned to me with her eyes wide and mouth wide open and then turned back to the ghost.

"Hello, Danny Fenton, Danny Phantom. Ever notice the similarity?" He turned to Jazz "Jazz did."

"She did?" asked Sam and Tucker at the same time

I myself had enough of this, he stole my son and I was going to get him for that, he wasn't my son, he was lying "LIAR, DON'T MOVE!"

"Nobody's going anywhere, not until it's time for you to be blown everywhere!"

I was still standing with my ghost weapon pointing up at him when all of a sudden, he threw some kind of ectoplasmic rope at me, Maddie, Mr. Lancer, Tucker, and Sam and we all hit the boiler. We screamed Danny's future self put some goo over our mouths. We were stuck!

All of a sudden, my daughter Jazz went up to future Danny and put her fist right through him, she gasped, I could tell that she was not expecting that to happen. I watched as the future Danny turned his head around and then the rest of his body to my daughter. I wanted to go after him, but I couldn't I was stuck to this boiler! So I was forced to watch as my future son took off the hat of the ghost peeler, she screamed and soon she was over by us!

I looked over at Jazz and then at my wife, they both looked terrified. I was soon taken out of my trance when I saw my son from this present time come down from the sky and hit his future self. He came over to us and only had one thing to say

"I won't turn into that, ever, I promise." I watched as I saw him go over to the other side of the boiler and face his teacher Mr. Lancer who looked confused as ever "I guess this sort of explains my periodic absences huh?"

But before he could say anything else, he was grabbed by his future self and his future self started beating on him. I wanted to help him, but there was no possible way to get out of the mess I was on!

How did this happen? How did Danny become this? Then it hit me, the accident a year and a half ago, why didn't I see it before, he was only half killed in the accident!

Flashback

One minute I'm working on an invention in the kitchen the next minute I hear a loud boom coming from the lab and then I hear Jazz scream "MOM DAD! COME QUICK! DANNY'S HURT!"

I got up and followed my wife into the lab and I instantly noticed the Fenton portal was on! I ran over to it and awed over it "Maddie, the portal is working!"

But she didn't pay any attention to me; she was too busy with Danny.

End Flashback

I regret that, I should've seen the signs, especially when we heard about the ghost boy; I should've seen that they looked alike, in fact, they look a lot alike. I wanted to slam myself in the head with my hand for being such a terrible father, not seeing the signs. Maddie's right; there are more things important than hunting ghosts. I wasn't that obsessed before something really bad happened…

Flashback


I was just working in the lab when my wife called for me "Jack?"

"Yes Maddie?"

"Do you have Jazz with you by any chance?"

I looked around the lab for Jazz, thinking maybe she sneaked down here and I didn't notice, but I didn't see anything "No, why?"

I didn't hear anything else, so I went back to my invention that I was working on. Only seconds later I heard a scream coming from upstairs "JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKK!"

I ran up there and saw Maddie crying on Jazz's bed, I knew something was wrong "Maddie, what is it, what's wrong?"

She looked up at me but didn't answer; all she did was give me a piece of paper:

Dear Maddie and Jack,

I have your children, yes, that's right, I have your children, and if you ever want to see them again, you'd be best to come and find me, I'm a ghost, there's your hint, if you don't come in 24 hours, they're going to take a very long nap.

Vlad Plasmius

I crumpled up the paper and got a weapon out of my back pocket and pointed it up at the ceiling "NO GHOST TAKES MY CHILDREN. DON'T WORRY KIDS, DADDY'S COMING!"

Maddie got up and walked over to me "How are we going to find the ghost? We have no way to get there." I looked down and Then Maddie remembered something "Actually, now that I remember, Vlad told me that he has this new ghost portal that takes you to ghost's lairs."

"Do you think he'll mind if we use it?"

"No, not at all!"

We were soon on our way to Wisconsin and when we got there Maddie ran off to find Vlad. I just leaned on the car and waited until Maddie got back. I can't believe I let a ghost take my own children! I'm such an idiot!

Maddie soon came back who was accompanied by Vlad I started following them "Hey, V-man!"

Before I could get through the door, it was slammed right on my face! I was also locked in! A few minutes later the door suddenly opened and I walked in, I found Maddie already sitting in some type of vehicle apparently that helps you through the ghost zone. I got in and then we were off!

Later on we were getting farther and farther into the ghost zone I turned around to see my wife, her face was pressed against the window and it looked as if she was crying. I reached over and put my hand on her leg; she looked up at me and gave me a weak smile "Maddie, honey, what's wrong?"

She sat up and looked at me and sighed "Do you think they're okay?"

"Maddie, I'm sure they're perfectly fine."

"It's just that the note said that they had 24 hours or they'll die!"

"Don't worry Maddie, we'll find them in time."

She wiped her face with the back of her hand so it was clear of tears. She looked forward and saw some kind of box, apparently with the look on her face she knew it was Jazz and Danny, after I looked hard enough and I soon was able to make out my daughter and son "JACK IT'S THEM, IT'S JAZZ AND DANNY!"

I raced after the box, but before I could get to them some ghost came up and stopped us. I soon figured out that it was the ghost that took my daughter and son!

"You think it was going to be easy, just grab them and leave, well, it's not!"

He took his hand and shot some ectoplasmic goo at them and shot it at them, luckily Jack was prepared to fight and instantly shot some energy at the ghost and he flew very far back, while he flew back, they heard him scream "Curse you Jack Fenton!"

I soon got over to my daughter and son and got them, Jazz came over to me and Danny went over to Maddie. We both just held our children for a long time. Soon I drove out of the ghost zone and back to Amity Park.

End Flashback

After that I knew that nothing was going to be the same, things started changing and Jazz and Danny started growing up. And now here we are about to die on this boiler because of my mistake I made a half a year ago, my creation changed my son into what he is to day and from what I see his future self isn't looking too good. If there was only one way I could go back in time and stop me and Maddie from making the ghost portal, maybe none of this would've ever happened!

Well, I can feel my death coming along, I can feel it because the boilers are getting hotter and they're squealing and whistling. This was the end for me…

…If only Danny could hear this…

…I love you son, I'm so sorry, I'm proud of you!
