Ok I know it's been awhile, but my beta reader was grounded. Not that it matters, the longer I make you wait, the more reviews I get and the more I get you guys thinking. The good thing is I already have chapter 8 written! Oh well thanks go to my beta reader, dPhantoMfreak, for you know, beta reading. Also to umm whoever had the idea of Harry being overshadowed. (sorry, I looked through the reviews, but I couldn't find that one, so I forgot who gave me the idea). You'll find he won't be overshadowed, but you'll prob like this too! And finally to 2wingo, for the spidersence idea, which was really good! Thanks to all the reviewers, and now let's continue, shall we?
Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom or any other characters from that series, Butch Hartman does.

Chapter 7: Sensing Trouble
"MJ, this is Pete, we have an emergency!" was the first thing Peter said when Mary Jane answered her phone.
"What do you mean?" MJ asked him calmly.
"Well I went into Danny's room, and he was gone!" Peter said in a rush, adding, "We need to find him fast before something happens. My 'senses' are telling me that he's in danger!" It was true, for right before he had called MJ, his spider sense had gone off, and he knew it had to do with Danny.
"Oh yeah, that... Just let me wake up Sam, and call Harry to see if they can help too," Mary Jane replied. "Then I'll be right over!"
Peter had been waiting about twenty minutes before MJ ran into his apartment, Sam at her heels.
"Did you get a hold of Harry?" Peter asked.
"No, I got Tucker, he said Harry was having some problems at Oscorp and had to leave early, so he was left at Harry's for the day."
"Oh well, Sam, do you know anything about what might have happened to Danny?" Peter asked the Goth girl standing in the doorway.
Well yeah, he obviously had to go ghost and beat up some dumb ghost again, but I can't tell them THAT! Sam thought, then answered, "I may be able to help in a few ways, seeing as I'm his best friend."
"Okay, MJ, you and Sam go explore the city, Sam might be able to tell you places he'd go," Peter said officially, than glancing at Sam said mysteriously, "I'll do what I always do when people are in trouble."
The look on Sam's face showed that she didn't understand what he was saying, but MJ did and winked.
"Okay we'll meet back up later after we're done looking," she said as they hurriedly left the room.
"Oh and MJ?" Peter called.
"Yeah?"
"Thanks for taking time out of your schedule to look for him, because my sense has been going off and on all morning about this."
"No problem, he's Sam's best friend after all, and you're mine, so you know, any time."
With that they left the room, leaving Peter to do his thing.
He quickly ran to his closet and grabbed his stuff (he hadn't put it on under his clothes yet since it was still early morning) and quickly changed. Pulling the hood over his head, he let out a web and swung through the window to go look for his intern partner.

It had been one very long night. Danny had awoken from his well-needed sleep at 4:00 AM to find his ghost sense going off, and it once again giving him a headache, minor, but still. Ever since I met that spider guy, I get headaches when ever my ghost sense goes off, he had thought as he got up from bed, changed into Danny Phantom and flew out the window, looking for the ghost.
Four hours later and he was on his way back to the apartment, hoping against all odds that Peter had not discovered him being absent yet, when he once again sensed a ghost, but this time no headache came with it. Something must cause these headaches, because this time I didn't get one, but last time I did, he thought as he turned around and headed towards the location of the ghost. I'm gonna need one looooooong nap after this.

There he was, cornered by a ghost with nowhere to go, nothing to do, and no one to help him. He was trapped, and the bad part was that it was closing in on him. In a matter of seconds he could be dead.
This is it, I'm gonna die, or at least be badly injured. It's the end and there's no one here to save me, not even Spiderman!
The ghost approached the cowering young man, getting closer and closer. When he got close enough to touch the young adult, he reached into a hidden pocket and pulled out what looked like a pill caplet. One half was a pale blue color, and the other half was a bright, burning red.
"What's that? What are you doing!" he yelled as he finally found his voice.
"This, my boy, is the curse caplet, and with it, I will be able to take over your company and finally achieve what I have always wanted!"
"Yeah, well if you think I'm actually going to eat that, you've got another thing coming!"
"Oh, I know you're not going to eat it, so I'm going to put it into you myself."
"Wha..." but before he could say anything else, the ghost put his hand holding the caplet into the man's stomach, then brought it back out, no longer holding the caplet. With that, Harry Osbourne fell to the ground, unconscious.
Vlad hovered over Harry for a few seconds longer before he heard, once again, a familiar voice. "Not this time, Vlad!"
A green beam shot out of no where and hit Vlad in the back, causing him to fall to the ground, leaving Harry's body sprawled in the corner
"Well, we meet once again, Daniel," Vlad said curtly as he got to his feet, "and once again you will not stop me from getting what I want!"
"I've already done that about five times, seeing as my dad is still alive and my mom is still with him!" Danny yelled as he shot out an ecto-ball from his hand. Vlad turned intangible, dodged it, and then multiplied himself by four.
"Don't you understand by now? It's not your mom I'm after this time, it's that kid's company!" Vlad said as his five selves pointed at the unconscious Harry in the corner, who looked sickly as well.
Harry? Danny thought, before yelling, "You'll never get away with this Vlad! I'll make sure of it!"
"But don't you know I already have, and there is nothing you can do to stop me now!"
"Wha—what do you mean?" Danny asked, taken aback.
"Yeah I'm just going to tell you!" Vlad yelled as his four other selves sent out beams at Danny.
"Well, what ever you do, if you even try to harm him, or any of his friends again, you will be in for it!" Danny yelled as he got hit by three of the four blasts, dodging the fourth.
"Oh, well then it's a pity, because I already have, and the 'harm' should be taking effect pretty soon!"
"What effects? What did you do!"
"Oh nothing really..." Vlad replied with a smirk.
"WHAT DID YOU DO?" Danny yelled in rage, and with that he let out a deep breath and released a wail consisting of green waves. As he yelled, everything in the room broke and the paint peeled, but Vlad somehow managed to resist almost all the effects of the wail. Once the wail ended, Danny fell to the ground, worn out, and turned back into Danny Fenton, as Vlad disappeared out of the room, once again eluding the ghost boy's grasp.

"Sam, I need you to tell me anything you know that may help us find Danny!" MJ yelled as they sped down the road in her car.
"Well ummm he likes to go for walks in the morning" Sam said cautiously.
"Yeah, I'm gonna believe that. Come on Sam, you can trust me, and I know Peter well enough to know that he knows Danny didn't just go for a walk. Something happened."
"Okay listen, Danny does have a few secrets of his own that he only trusts to me and Tucker, but I can't tell them to you, because he'd kill me if he knew you knew."
"Come on Sam! Danny's life is in mortal danger, and there was nothing on the intern contract about mortal danger!"
"Contract? I didn't sign a contract!"
"You know what I mean, we need to find him!"
"Well how do you really know he's in trouble? It's not like Peter can sense danger or anything."
"Actually he can," MJ mumbled to herself as they sped around the corner.
"Excuse me?" Sam asked curiously.
"Nothing," MJ said. "It's nothing."
"Oh really...Well I'll make you a deal."
"Okay, shoot."
"Well if I tell you everything I know about Danny's whereabouts, even his secret that probably has something to do with this, you have to tell me everything you know about the plane attack and promise not to tell ANYONE, even Peter and Harry, what I tell you today!"
Mary Jane paused for a second to think about what she just heard. Just because she wants to know about the ghost attack, that doesn't mean I have to give away Peter's secret. If I choose my words carefully we can avoid this. And Danny's secret can't be that big of a thing that will be hard to keep. "Sam Manson, you've got yourself a deal," MJ said after thinking it over for a little while longer.
"Okay, but do you swear that you won't tell anyone about this, because it's really important that no one else knows."
"I swear," MJ said.
"Okay, sit back and listen," Sam said with a sigh. I can't believe I'm telling her all this stuff. I barely know her. But I'm pretty sure that if I tell her the right information, she might tell me a little bit more about how she and Peter know Danny's in trouble and how they knew about the ghost attacks.
"So it all started about six or seven monthes ago," Sam explained. "Danny's parents were working on a new ghost related experiment in the lab, a ghost portal to be exact."
"Ghost portal? Wait, so Danny's parents are ghost..."
"Hunters, yeah," Sam replied. "And they had just built this ghost portal that would take people into the ghost zone, where all the ghost live."
"And this has to do with where Danny is because..."
"Because it didn't work, so I persuaded Danny to go in and he hit a wrong button and got ghost powers!" Sam blurted out before she could stop herself.
"Wait...what?"
"Danny. Has. Ghost. Powers," Sam said, emphasizing each word as she said it.
"So you're telling me that Danny got into an accident and now he's a ghost!" Mary Jane said, acting appalled that someone would really expect her to believe that story.
"It's true, okay?"
"Wait a second," Mary Jane thought out loud.
"WHAT!" Sam asked frantically.
"Peter said that yesterday he ran into a ghost boy at the abandoned warehouse. Was it, by chance, Danny?" Mary Jane said as calmly as she could.
"What did he look like?" Sam asked then added, "Wait, why was Peter at an abandoned warehouse with Danny?"
"I promise I'll explain it later if you drop it for now, and Pete never told us what he looked like. Didn't Danny tell you guys what happened at the warehouse?"
"No, because he didn't want you guys to find out about it so he was waiting until we were alone."
"Oh, well I'll explain that later. Just tell me why Danny would be causing trouble."
"Trouble? Mary Jane, Danny's the GOOD GUY! He wouldn't cause trouble unless it was a total accident!"
"Well Peter told us that the ghost boy was attacking an old guy."
Old guy?...VLAD! "Did he mention if that old guy was a ghost too?"
"Another ghost?" MJ said skeptically. "No, he said the only ghost was the phantom kid, and that he had caused trouble."
"Okay, listen to me Mary Jane," Sam said in a rather bossy way. "Danny has vowed since the day he got his powers to use them for good. And there's another half ghost out there. His name is Vlad Plasmius, and he's Danny's archrival. What Peter saw on the ground was obviously Vlad in his human form. Vlad was the one attacking, NOT Danny!"
"Well how come he didn't turn back into a ghost again then?" MJ asked, getting more into the conversation as they went along.
"Did Peter mention anything unusual about the man on the ground?"
"He did say he was wearing a metal belt."
"That's it! The specter deflector, one of his parents' inventions. It deflects ghosts, so Danny must have put it on Vlad, causing him to turn human and not be able to turn back!"
"Okay...I don't know where this is going, but please continue," MJ said with a sigh of utter confusion.
"Well I'm guessing that when Ember, a ghost, attacked the plane, she took Danny to Vlad in that warehouse you mentioned, and then Danny beat Vlad's butt and Peter thought he was the bad guy because Vlad was only human when Peter saw him."
"So you're saying that it wasn't the Phantom kid who attacked the plane?" MJ asked.
"Didn't I just say that Danny was the GOOD GUY!" Sam said, getting frustrated.
"Oh right, so this Ember ghost person thing attacked, which is why the plane was delayed?"
"I'm guessing so. I was unconscious for most of it," Sam said with another sigh.
"Okay so now on to Danny's whereabouts," Mary Jane commented. "Where would he be?"
"I honestly don't know, but his ghost sense probably went off, telling him to go beat some ghost booty this morning which is why he's gone now."
"Ghost sense, as in telling him when trouble is around?" Mary Jane asked, almost too quickly.
"Yes…why?" Sam asked curiously.
"Oh nothing, honest," Mary Jane replied with a blush. So maybe that's why Peter's spider sense has been hurting him when Danny Fenton/Phantom is around. Their 'senses' are alot alike, and they probably unintentionally screw up the other's when they go off around each other.
"Okay so now you tell me how come Peter was at that warehouse with Danny and Vlad," Sam said, interrupting Mary Jane's train of thought.
"That's not part of the deal, case closed", Mary Jane said. "And besides, we need to find Danny before something really bad happens."
"Oh fine," Sam said as she sat back in her seat gritting her teeth. But I told you my secrets, you could at least tell me yours.
DFDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Danny woke up from his unconsciousness about twenty minutes later, realizing he was in human form. Quickly changing back to ghost, he got up and was about to leave when he was interrupted.
"Oh, you won't be going anywhere."
He turned around to see Harry had awoken as well, and was now advancing on Danny.
"Harry? I'm here to help. What happened?"
"Oh, nothing really."
"Right…" But before he could continue, he heard a window break. To his horror he saw the familiar red and blue jumpsuit and knew that it was that spider creep again. But before he could attack, Spiderman fell to the ground, in pain.
"Headache, must stop headache," he stammered before getting up to see Danny Phantom and Harry glaring at him. Looking at Harry he could tell that he had gotten a pretty good beating, and he wasn't about to let that ghost boy escape this time, no way.
"What did you do to him!" Spiderman yelled, shooting a web at Danny, than looked around the room and added, "and this room!"
"Nothing, but I think that you're just here to attack me on Vlad's orders again!" Danny shouted as he dodged the web, but as he tried to create a ectoplasmic beam, he realized he was too weak from the wail to do so.
"Once again with this 'Vlad' person. Who is he and why do you keep blaming your business on him!" Spiderman yelled, shooting out another web, hitting Danny in the mouth, blocking him from answering anything. "Never mind, I'll just ask Harry," he said as he approached Harry.
How does he know who Harry is? Danny thought, but was interrupted by Spiderman's talking.
"Harry, what did he do to you?"
"Oh...he did everything and more," Harry answered with an evil grin.
