Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom. I am just a dedicated fan.
DarkDragonQueen: I started watching Danny Phantom until about three months ago and I didn't really watch it. It was my sister and one day it was the only thing on and I completely fell in love with the show. I've been reading the fanfiction for a while and this story kind of came to my mind. I didn't want to write it until I saw a few stories that calmed my nerve. It's an Alternate universe and Sam has never met Danny or Tucker and she's never been to Amity Park until now.
Also no flames, but I do accept constructive criticism. Please bear with me because although I know the basics of grammar, I never did look at the detail. Don't worry my grammar isn't horrible where you can't read it, but it isn't exactly perfect where I could go and become an English teacher.
Attention all readers. If you didn't read the first part read this. Nick is canceling Danny Phantom! Are they out of their minds! That's one of the best cartoons they've got and there's so much more that hasn't been revealed. I mean I don't think I've ever been so shocked. GO to this website now, even before you read my next chapter. With no spaces:
www. petitionspot. com
If you go there you'll find more than one petition demanding that nick keeps Danny Phantom. Sign all you can find and wait and hope that nick doesn't cancel the show. I don't think I can survive off of just the fanfics alone. With all our combined effort we can SAVE DANNY PHANTOM!
With that said here is chapter sixteen of this story.

Revelation
By
DarkDragonQueen
-.oOOo.-
Tucker and Jazz ran down the stairs to the basement. They had both been about to go upstairs assuming that's where Danny was when they heard the scream from the lab. The two ran downstairs and saw Aly along with Sliver Moon standing in front of the ghost portal.
"What are you two doing down here?" Jazz asked going to grab both females
"Jazz, Tucker... Thank God you're here."
"Where's Danny and Sam?" Tucker asked looking at Aly and Silver Moon. "We heard a scream. What did you do to them? Are you working for Vlad?"
"Vlad? As in Vlad Plasmius," Silver Moon exclaimed. "Does he have anything to do with this? Oh this is bad,"
"Who's Vlad Plasmius?" Aly asked looking at the three who seemed to know more about this Plasmius guy
"So you know him?" Tucker accused
"No, not personally, but I went there with Celosia once." Silver Moon replied
"Who's Celosia?" Jazz and Tucker asked
"You knew Celosia?" Aly asked Silver Moon.
"Yeah, I used to help her like I do Sam now, but when she decided to use her powers for her own gain I left." Silver Moon replied
"Wait, time out..." Tucker replied forming a T with his hands. "What's going on?"
"First I want to say we had nothing to do with whatever happened." Aly defended. "Second, all four us meaning me, Danny, Sil- Lunar, and Sam were upstairs in Danny's room. Sam went down to get a drink and after she didn't come back Danny went to go see what the hold up was. He must have caught her down here in the lab, because the next thing we know there's this scream and then a woman we know as Celosia pushes them into that thing," she explained pointing to the Ghost Portal on the last part
"The Ghost Zone," Jazz and Tucker looked at each other.
"The Ghost Zone?" Aly and Silver mooned echoed
"Oh no," Jazz muttered
"What?" Silver Moon said not really worried about Sam. She could take care of herself. "I'm sure Danny will be fine."
"It's not Danny I'm worried about. He can take care of himself." muttered Jazz, "Sam's the one who might be in trouble."
-.oOOo.-
Sam got up off the ground and groaned. Whatever Celosia had done when she pushed them in it hurt. She blinked and looked around at the glowing green... was it the sky? She looked down at the dry and barren ground they were on and saw Danny a few feet away from her. She ran over and shook him a bit.
"Danny," she called and he didn't get up. "Danny,"
He still didn't wake up and so she bot her lip and then sighed. She wondered if that sound she made when she screamed that night Principle Palprin showed up would sound like it did.
She made a short high pitched scream and it turned into a small screech. "Cawww,"
She closed her mouth as Danny's eyes snapped open and he sat straight up.
"Where's the ghost?" he asked looking around wildly
"Relax Danny... Well, as much as you possibly can in this place." Sam replied helping Danny up. "What is this place anyway?"
Danny cleared his fogged mind and then his eyes widened. "Oh no,"
"What's wrong?"
"We're in the Ghost Zone," Danny replied dryly
"And that's a bad thing?" Sam asked
"Yes," Danny snapped. "Does the word ghost in Ghost Zone mean anything to you. There are ghost here and their much worse than Principal Palprin,"
"Principal Palprin... How did you know about that? You weren't there. It was only me, Aly, Tucker, and Ghost Boy that night." Sam asked frowning
Danny faltered realizing his slip. "Tucker... yeah, he told me about it."
Sam gave him a look that said he wasn't buying it. "You're a horrible liar Danny."
Danny winced.
"So, how do we get out of here?" Sam asked
"We find the doors to the Fenton Portal," Danny said looking around. "And by the looks of it we're nowhere near it."
"So which way do we go?" Sam asked looking at Danny who was taking in the area with a hard look of concentration
"I don't know my way around the ghost zone by foot," Danny replied. "If I were flying I could figure that out easily."
Sam blinked." If you were flying?"
Danny's eyes widened again. "I mean if I were flying in the Spectra Speeder... Yeah, that's it."
"What are you trying to hide from me?" she asked bluntly crossing her arms, bending her left knee, and tilting her hip to the left side.
"What makes you think I'm hiding something?" Danny asked rubbing his neck in nervousness
Sam laughed. "You act a lot like Danny Phantom. He always rubs his neck when he's nervous." she stated picking a random direction to walk in.
Danny frowned. "You only met him twice and he didn't do that when you were with him."
Sam realized her slip with her eyes wide, but then frowned. "How did you know I only met him twice?" she asked referring to how he knew she only met him twice as Sam. "You weren't there. You left."
Danny winced again and suddenly the pieces of the puzzle fell into place for both of them.
'Wait a minute. Her hair's like steal, she has violet eyes, she sarcastic, sadistic, a bit blunt... Now who does that remind me of? Wait a minute. Could she really be...'
'Danny disappears when the other shows. He rubs his neck when he's nervous, he knew I only met ghost boy twice, he knows about the Palprin thing, their voices are the same and his parents have a lab where he could have easily been exposed to ectoplasmic energy... Hold on he couldn't be...'
Ten more seconds and the two would have seen the big picture, but as fate would have it they were snapped from their thoughts by a laugh... actually it was two. The two teens turned around.
"YOU!" they both shouted at them
"Why Daniel, I'm hurt... That's no way to talk your Mentor," Celosia said in mock hurt
"Mentor?" Sam's eyes instinctively narrowed as she turned to Danny. "Wait a minute... Are you working for her or something?"
"What?" Danny exclaimed. "No way... wait let me correct that. Hell No!"
"Then why did she say she was your mentor?" Sam shot and then Vlad Plasmius shook his head
"Now Samantha dear... I'm surprised at you. Just because Daniel got close to you because he was working with Celosia is nothing to be upset about. You were playing the same game." he said and this time Danny rounded on Sam
"You're working for him!" Danny asked
Sam frantically shook her head. "Are you kidding? I don't even know who that is."
"Now Samantha dear, you can drop the act. We've obviously been found out." Plasmius sighed. "Oh well,"
"Wait a minute, I don't even-" Sam stopped. "So you're Plasmius."
"So you are working for him," Danny accused
"Now Daniel we can't really be upset with her. You were both trying to fool each other but don't worry, we'll get them next time." Celosia sighed
"What are you talk-" Danny started but was cut off by the teen next to him
"So you used me?" Sam asked angrily her eyes burning with fire
"What are you talking about? You're the one that's working for a ghost." Danny shot back
Celosia and Plasmius smirked. "This is working out much better than I originally planned." the former said
"It will only be a matter of time before their fighting against each other." Plasmius agreed
"And in their anger neither one will figure out who they truly are." Celosia smiled. "If they would they would eventually figure it out and we'd have a problem..."
"How so Celosia?" Plasmius asked watching the two teens
"They know each other better in their alternate forms. If they were to figure that out, our plan goes done the drain," She sighed.
"Oh well, they'll be too preoccupied trying to get out the ghost zone and away from each other to notice. Looks like our work here is done. Are your Harpies in place?" the older halfa asked
The woman nodded. "And your ghost... What was his name? Skulker?"
Plasmius nodded and the two disappeared.
Sam stopped frowning as the two very vibrant auras disappeared. "Where did they go?"
Danny turned to where the two had previously been standing and growled. They had disappeared on them.
"Okay, how do we get out of here?" Sam asked.
"I don't know, but I think that way," Danny pointed behind him, "Is just going father into the ghost zone, so if we go that way," Danny replied. "We'll most likely be going in the direction of the portal."
"Let's go then." Sam grumbled crossing her arms. "The sooner we get out here the sooner you can go back to your mentor and plan a way to dispose of me."
"And the sooner you can go to yours," Danny shot back as they started to walk
-.oOOo.-
The two teens stopped for a minute and leaned against a tree on the side of the path they were taking. It had felt like they had been walking for hours here in the ghost zone, although in the human world it could have well as been fifteen minutes.
The fact that the two were still mad at each other and weren't talking didn't help either. It only added to the fact that they were irritated at being here in the first place.
"Dammit, Dammit, Dammit..." Sam cursed hitting her head against the tree and letting her alter ego's temper take over a little. "Where the hell are we Danny?"
"Didn't know you swore," Danny said dryly ignoring her question
Sam looked over at him and glared. "You know," she said closing her eyes. "It's taking all the strength and will power I have to keep myself from screaming the most inappropriate and obscene words that most people probably don't even know at you. So I ask you one more time as nice as I can put it at this moment... Where the hell are we?"
"That's supposed to be nice?" Danny muttered
"Where the hell are we?" Sam nearly growled ignoring his comment
Danny smirked. "The ghost zone," he replied smartly just thinking that maybe Sam would growl in frustration walk ahead onto the path. Oh, how wrong he was.
Sam came around from the other side of the tree they were leaning on and grabbed him with such superhuman speed he had no time react. She then pulled him off the tree and threw him hard to the ground. She crossed her arms again and leaned against the tree with a satisfied smirk on her face as she looked down at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Oops, I didn't mean to throw you down that hard," she said sarcastically
Danny's eyes turned a glowing green, which didn't go unnoticed by Sam.
"What's up with your eyes?" she frowned
Danny groaned and blinked his eyes back to there normal blue.
"Nothing," he replied standing back up and starting down the dirt path again.
Sam stood up and caught up with him. "I'm not buying it. Why did your eyes turn green? And more importantly how is it that they were glowing?"
"You must have been seeing things Sam," Danny said as his anger cooled off and he became a bit bothered at her inquiry
"I know what I saw." Sam pushed on, "Your eyes turned green... Glowing green and when I said something you blinked and they turned blue again."
"My eyes glow green when I get angry sometimes... Happy?" Danny asked hoping the goth girl would back off
"Danny, I know people who's eyes turn different colors when they experience different emotions. Aly's turn fire red when she gets angry and green when she's jealous, her eyes have even turned purple when she feels proud of something or feels like... royalty I guess, but Danny no ones eyes ever glow green." Sam continued. Danny was hiding something and she wanted to find out what.
"Guess I'm different from everyone else," Danny said truthfully thinking of his ghost half.
"Danny the only person I've seen who has glowing green eyes is the Gh-" Sam stopped mid- sentence. Phantom had glowing green eyes. Everything fit and there was too much proof for it to be a coincidence. Danny was... but wait. Phantom had helped her fight off Celosia and Celosia didn't seem to hold back on him. She sent both Harpies at Phantom last time they fought. If her hunch was right though, that meant that Danny wasn't working for Celosia and then she realized that he had been trying to tell he that, but in her rage she wasn't hearing it... Then again Danny hadn't really given her a chance to defend herself either.
"You alright?" Danny asked waving a hand in front of her face
"Huh," Sam was snapped out of her thoughts. "Yeah, I'm fine."
"You could have fooled me," Danny muttered. "You were about to walk right off the edge of a cliff."
Sam looked down and saw that she had indeed been about to walk off the edge of a cliff into a bottomless pit of nothing. It was then she also realized that Danny had his hands around her waist and the they were on the ground and she was on top of him.
Sam turned twice as red as normal for now she surely believed that the Danny Fenton she liked was the Danny Phantom she liked too... And to think she had practically admitted it to him. Now that was embarrassing.
"Would you mind getting off of me now?" Danny asked with his cheeks as red as hers.
Sam quickly jumped up and turned around which is what she normally did around Danny (when he was a ghost) and she was embarrassed.
"Sorry," she said her voice going up an octave like it always did.
"You sound a lot like Phoenix," he muttered not intending for her to hear, but she did though she didn't reply.
Sam looked and noticed that there was no other side. It was like they just dropped down into nothing but the never ending green. She also saw doors floating in the air and assumed that ghost had to stay somewhere.
"Where do we go from here?" she asked stepping back a bit and into Danny who was right behind her. She hated anything that was as high or higher than the cliff she fell off of when she gained her powers.
"What are you afraid of heights?" Danny asked noticing her eyeing the cliff.
"No, I'm afraid of being on the edge anything that's as high or higher than the cliff I fell of of when I died..." Sam muttered absently
"What do you mean you died?" Danny asked narrowing his eyes
Sam caught her slip. "Did I say died? I meant I almost died."
Danny looked away from her and into the never ending spooking green ghost zone. Black Phoenix was afraid of cliffs.
"I died because I fell off a cliff." she admitted to him
His eyes widened. So none of it was a coincidence. Everything Sam said to him were things Black Phoenix said to him. She was afraid of cliffs, she didn't pry into other people's personal lives and she was in general exactly like Black Phoenix. She didn't even know who Plasmius was and she had been trying to tell him that if he had just gotten past his intentional anger and listened to her... then again she hadn't given him the to defend himself either.
"So where do we go from here?" Sam asked again snapping Danny from his thoughts
He blinked and shook his head. "Nowhere, we're at a dead end... unless we fly." If she was the Black Phoenix it wouldn't hurt to transform and get them out of her. Even if it was just one majorly huge coincidence- which he highly doubted at this point- he could trust Sam.
"Fly?" Sam asked thinking maybe he had figured her out as well.
Danny opened his mouth to say something, but instead a blue mist escaped his mouth,
"Oh no," Danny said and turned around to see Skulker along with the two ghost Harpies.
Sam looked at Skulker. This was the ghost who had tried to put her in his collection and now he knew why he wanted Danny. A half ghost wasn't something you came across everyday.
"What do you want?" Sam asked glaring at the ghost.
"To dispose of you both and have your pelt at the at the foot of my bed." he replied
"We want to feed of you souls and then give what's left to our sister." said one of the Harpies
Sam closed her eyes in disgust. "Okay, that's just gross."
"Well then, sit still so I can help erase that visual from your head." Skulker retorted an a big gun came out of his shoulder and hummed to life.
"Move," Danny yelled pulling Sam out the way
The blast intentionally meant for Sam and Danny shot off into the ghost zone.
"I don't think we want to stick around, do we?" Sam asked dryly
Danny sighed. "Nope,"
"I thought so," Sam said and the two ran around Skulker and the two Harpies.
Danny ran along side of Sam and he was surprised that she could actually keep up with him. Naturally he was able to run a little faster because of his powers and the fact that he fought ghost on a daily basis, but he found himself not as surprised as he could have been.
Sam looked ahead and stopped grabbing Danny who was so caught up in his thoughts didn't notice the Harpy that had flown in front of them.
"Hm, Halfa and Phoenix for dinner. That sounds good." she said licking her lips
"Halfa?" Sam asked
"Phoenix?" Danny asked and then all doubt in their minds left them
"You're-"
"Dead meat." came Skulker's deep voice as a net dropped over them.
Sam and Danny fell backwards in the net. Sam glared at Skulker and then turned to Danny.
"I'm going to get us out this rope, but then you have to do your thing, got it?" Sam asked knowing he would know what she was referring to. He nodded in comprehension.
"I'd make sure what I'm about to do doesn't hurt you." Sam warned and her hair stiffened and then shot out little pointed strands tearing the net and going through Danny who went intangible.
They stood up and Danny's eyes flared green. "You know Skulker, you really need to learn some new tricks. This is starting to get old. Going Ghost,"
Two white rings formed around Danny's waist, split in two and traveled up and down Danny's body transforming him into Danny Phantom.
Sam watched in amazement and a blush appeared on her cheeks after what she thought about next.
'Paulina's definitely go something to be jealous about, because there's no way I'm letting him out of my grasp easily.'
She was snapped from her thoughts when Danny was sent flying to the ground next to her. He had three nasty gashes across his chest and she could only assume they came from the one of the Harpies.
"Now would be the perfect time for Phoenix to miraculously show up and help me out with those dumb Harpies," he muttered getting to his feet and shooting one of the Harpies with and ecto- ray.
"I don't know Danny," Sam stated looking at him fight off a Harpy while trying to dodge Skulker's cannon. "You look like you can handle it."
Danny was scratched on the back by one of the Harpies and it too left a nasty gash. He grunted in pain and grabbed it by the arm throwing it into Skulker sending them crashing to the ground.
It was then one of the Harpies let out and stinging screech and Danny covered his ears, as the other Harpy who recovered advanced on him.
"Maybe not," Sam said deciding that she wanted Danny in one piece if they ever went out. She narrowed her eyes and the ribbons transformed her into the Black Phoenix.
"Hey Harpies." she called to get the attention of the half bird- half woman creatures. "Why don't you leave Ghost Boy alone and let me have a little fun?"
Only one of the Harpies flew down to her, but it was enough of a load off of Danny so he could take care of Skulker and the other Harpy. It instinctively clawed at her which was what she expected. Black Phoenix grabbed the claw and pushed it back, then ducked when the other one came at her and flipped the Harpy over.
"Okay, she's down for a minute, now what?" Black Phoenix asked herself dryly and then turned to Danny who was destroying Skulker's armor.
'He must really like destroying other people's electronic gadgets and such,' she thought with dry humor as she remembered her destroyed motorcycle. Then she did a double take. What ghost needed Armor?
Black Phoenix watched as Skulker or what was left of him fell to the ground and everything else on him collasped revealing a little green frog- like glob.
"What is that?" she asked as she stood next to a floating Danny.
"I am Skulker. The Ghost Zone's greatest hunter." said the high pitched voice
Black Phoenix's eybrow rose in annoyance. "This thing, is the Ghost Zone's greatest hunter?" she asked Danny
"Yeap,"
Black Phoenix picked the little blob up by one of her tiny legs and held it upside down.
"You know, I could think of a hundred and one things to do to you right about now. The worst of it would be to give you to my little cousin to add to her stuffed animal collection and say you're a mutated stuffed frog that can talk, but I won't even fool with you if you're as pathetic as this."
"How dare you call me pathetic," the voice squeaked. "I am Skulker, the Ghost Zone's greatest hunter."
"Put a sock in it you," Black Phoenix said and tossed him into a tree.
Danny looked and saw the two Harpies were recovering. "Time to go," he said and grabbed Black Phoenix by the waist taking off with the two Harpies on their tail.
"Danny, Sam!" Aly's voice called and the two saw that she along with Silver Moon, Jazz, and Tucker were in the Spectra Speeder with Jazz driving.
Danny stopped flying for a moment before getting a very painful reminder from Black Phoenix (she nudged him in the chest where the Harpies and slashed him) that there were two angry Harpies right behind them.
He flew for the Spectra Speeder and he flew inside it. Danny dropped Black Phoenix who went to Jazz.
"Move over Jazz," she demanded
"Why? And how do you know my name?" She asked
"Well duh, you're Danny's sister, now move. After a few scrathes, those things can rip the roof off this thing. Let me drive." Black Phoenix said hurridley and Jazz moved over and let her take the wheel.
"Hold on tight," she warned and jammed the gas and took off toward the door to the Fenton portal.
-.oOOo.-
"So let me get this straight," Tucker said for the umpteenth time. "You," he said pointing to Sam who was standing up pacing the floor in annoyance, "Went out in the middle of the night looking for you god- sister who was hanging out with a bunch of prostitutes and against your better judgement you dumbly went into a dark alley,"
"Watch it you," Sam glared
"A gang saw you," he ignored her, "And began to chase you you ran through a forest and to a cliff. The gang scared you and made you fall off the cliff where you died and a woman comes to your spirit and tells you she can bring you back to life and gives you that crystal. So from then on you save people from tragic deaths that they don't deserve."
Sam sighed. "Something like that, but you got the basic point... finally."
Aly then stood up and stood next to Danny and pulled Sam over to them and squeezed them in a hug around their shoulders.
"This is so cool. Now we can show them the Phoenix Nest and Danny, you can show all your parents' inventions to Silver Moon and all that other stuff. We'll be the Phantom Phoenix team or maybe the Pheonix Phantom team. That one sounds cool. You know, if you two ever had a little girl in the future you could call her that." The last part made Danny and Sam turn a dangerous shade of red.
"And,"
"Aly," Sam warned
"Okay, I'm shutting up." Aly laughed
"Speaking of that," Jazz asked. "I couldn't really help but notice that you two act like... How do I put it?"
"A married couple," Tucker said bluntly
"Tucker," Jazz scolded. "But yeah he's right."
"In other words, are the two of you dating." Tucker asked cutting to the chase
"Uh... No," Sam managed and her cheeks burned as hot as the sun as she looked at Danny remembering her accidental confession.
Silver Moon took note of this and spoke up.
"Well, I'm a bit hungry. Why don't I go an whip something up. You three can help me." Sliver Moon said dragging Jazz, Tucker and Aly out leaving two very flushed teens
Danny rubbed his neck nervously while Sam avoided his gaze and took a deep breath.
"About that... ahem... you know, after you destroyed my bike what I said," she started
"Oh... that." Danny muttered
"It's alright if you... you know..." Sam groaned. She had never been able to form complete sentences when it came to talking about her personal life.
"No," Danny exclaimed and then blushed. "I kind of like you too."
Sam was surprised and looked at him. "Really,"
"Yeah, but with the ghost thing and..."
"My making sure people don't die tragically..." Sam sighed.
"And high school doesn't really help matters..." Danny continued
"Yeah I know. Very hectic lives at the moment."
"Maybe..."
"After we get through high school." Sam agreed
"Yeah and then we'll see,"
"If it works out." Sam finished as she tried to calm her racing heart.
"Yeah that'll work," Danny said attempting the same
Aly poked her head in at the perfect time and they had a feeling she had been listening from the kitchen with her keen hearing the entire time.
"If you two love birds are done, I would greatly appreciate it if you two helped Silver Moon in the kitchen. I couldn't shred cheese to save my life and according to Jazz, you're a pretty good cook, Danny."
"I'm coming." Danny said and Aly poked her head back out. "I better go in there and make sure Silver Moon doesn't accidently use any radio active salt by accident."
Sam laughed.as the two walked into the kitchen where she heard Silver Moon scream a bunch of very colorful words at something that had jumped out and tried to attack her.
-.oOOo.-
Nope, it's not the end. Actually it's just beginning. Now the secrets are out and the two are still friends. Maybe something more in the future. Okay here's your sneak peek:
"Trust me, Phoenix isn't going to come around unless I'm against something I can't handle alone." Danny stated
"Well then, I guess I'll have to give you more than you can handle." Ember said striking a dangerous chord on her guitar.
Danny moved out of the way of the sound waves and they hit the wall making a big whole in it. Danny shot an ecto- ray at her and set her backwards into a wall. Ember growled playing another note on her guitar and aiming it a Danny. He dodged again and she groaned
"Damnit dipstick, can't you just stay still?" Ember asked sarcatically
"Maybe I would be able to if ghost weren't constantly on my case," Danny replied dryly flying towards Ember and kicking her into the wall next to Aly who had slipped into the music shop to get a closer look at the ghost. There was something about her that seemed so familiar. It was then that she caught the ghost's face and gasped. She looked just like her except for the fact that she was pale.
"Darn halfa," the ghost rock star muttered and then caught sight of Aly who was staring at her. "What are you looking at dip- Woah." Ember managed...
Well I know you'll enjoy your next chapter. As you see in the sneak peek, two people who keep relating to each other evey time I mention a certain name...
