Chapter 14

The audience gasped. Maddie dropped the microphone and Jack fainted.

"Vlad Masters? If it is really you, show yourself. Or we will make you by shorting out your powers." Yelled Maddie.

Vlad quickly transformed into his human half and the audience gasped again. It was true.

"How did you get ghost powers?" asked Jack, quickly recovering.

"It was when Jack made that portal and infected me with ecto-acne. Well I was turned into a half ghost, half human hybrid." He answered again.

"Wow, I am the reason V-man is a ghost. Wait a minute, YOU CALLED ME AN IDIOT AND TRAPPED ME IN A CAGE! YOU'RE GOING DOWN!" screamed Jack.

"Yes, but do you remember? You called ME an idiot and trapped ME in a cage too." Vlad reminded Jack, raising one eyebrow.

"Oh… uh, well I guess we are even then." Muttered Jack.

"One last question. How do you know the ghost boy and how did you meet? Answer how you met first." Maddie was asking.

"Alright then. It was night time and I sent some ecto-parrots to hunt someone down and test their experience. This young boy flew up to me and said, 'I was aiming for the birds, but you'll do.' He shot an ectoplasmic energy blast at me and I dodged fairly easily. We fought, and I won. He flew through the walls and passed out. Then I changed back to my human form and put him in bed. Later on he found out I was the evil ghost he fought. Well, the next day at my college reunion. Let me remind you, this was a few months after the ghost boy had first gotten his powers. He was unexperienced and didn't know what he was doing. He has proven himself a truly powerful ghost over the past year. That's how I met the ghost boy. I know him because he is the son of an old friend of mine." Explained Vlad. "But that doesn't mean Danny Phantom is my friend. I hope one day, he will be my partner." He added.

"Thankyou Vlad… uh, now we will get to revealing Danny Phantom's real identity." Maddie squealed.

The crowd roared with excitement. They wanted to see the ghost boy's true identity. This made Danny hurt. Not on the outside, but on the inside. Anyone would be sad if they were that hated.

"Ok, we will do they same thing on Danny Phantom, except I have a few questions to ask him BEFORE I ask him who he is." Announced Maddie.

"Oh, oh me too!" screamed Jack, jumping up and down.

"Aw jeez." Muttered Danny.

Maddie held onto the Fenton Grabber as she pressed the orange button, yet again. The beam made Danny jump, but did not hurt him.

"Danny Phantom. First question. Do you live in Amity Park? If yes how long have you lived there? If no, where do you live?" asked Maddie.

"Yes, I live in Amity Park. I have lived there ever since I was born. I think, at least almost all my life." Answered Danny, looking at Tucker.

"MY TURN MY TURN! Have you ever seen into your future? If yes, what was your experience?" screamed Jack, running around like a lost ferret.

"Yes, I have seen into my future. It is a long story, so I will tell you the shorter version, only including the main parts. Well these weird ghosts had come into town that I had never fought before. Box lunch, the daughter of the Box Ghost and the Lunch Lady. Eww! Then SkulkTech9.9 which was Skulker and Technus joined together. Both hate me. Someone who I will not name at this part of the meeting hacked into their system and I flew off after them to fight them. They were wearing this medallion thing and it fell off. Two other people were touching them when we all got transported to this weird clock place in the ghost zone. We had never been there before. Anyway this ghost, clockwork could stop time and said we had seen too much. He then threatened to get rid of us so we entered the future. I saw Amity Park. It was high-tech but ruined. All because of me. See, I cheated on this test thing and it caused all of my family and friends to die. I asked Vlad to pull the humanity out of me so there were no more emotions bringing me down. Sadly, that brought me to rip the humanity out of him. I fused with his ghost half and his evil mind overpowered me. I turned evil. Well as I was saying Amity Park was pretty much ruined because of me when Valerie came flying up, hunting me again. The Dark Danny Phantom, who I will call Phantom, put my medallion intangible and unreachable inside my stomach. I couldn't get it out. He came back into the present day and posed as me so his future wouldn't change. I had learnt a new power and beat him. I couldn't go ghost after that and saw all my friends and family and teacher get blown up. Clockwork froze time and set the clock two hours before. It was a very memorable time and I am glad my future is now very different." Puffed Danny, tired of speaking.

"Wow. I knew you were evil." Shouted Jack.

"Okay, I really want to know who you are now. Ok, Danny Phantom, who are you." Asked Maddie, sweating with excitement.

Tucker watched to see what Danny did next. Tucker, Sam and Jazz all saw him take a deep breath in so they quickly put in the Fenton Earplugs. Danny puffed out his chest and opened his mouth. Out came his ghostly wail. It was a horrid sound, it shattered glass, it made humans and ghosts block their ears. Everyone blocked their ears except 5. Danny, Sam, Tucker, Jazz and Vlad. Vlad knew what Danny was about to do since he had seen Danny's new power so he got ready and put up a shield that blocked out ghost noises. Smart eh? The cage broke. Danny flew off as fast as he could. He didn't know where he was going; all he knew is that he wasn't staying. He flew outside and found himself standing outside Fenton Works. He looked inside. He started to head towards the door…
