It had been 3 months since Sam had started dating Gregor. Tucker had been hanging out with them so Danny was on his own. He was currently at work on his afternoon rounds. He was fighting Technus right that second.
"It looks like someone is having trouble fighting these days. And where are your friends?" Technus said.
"That's none of your business!" Danny hit him with an Ecto Ray.
While they were fighting he was having trouble with what it was this time. About twenty minutes later he was in the thermos. Danny was covered in scratches, ghost blood and bruises. While he was at work people were surprised at how bad he looked when they saw him fighting.
He had told his parents that he was Danny Phantom and they accepted him like he thought they would and let him keep doing it. When he was done he was exhausted. Sure enough he was home. When they saw him they were shocked at how bad he looked.
"I've looked worse, this is nothing." he said.
'Sam used to fix me up when I was hurt.' he thought.
After that he went to the lab and cleaned up the thermos. When he was done with that he went to his room and fell asleep. A few hours later he was woken up by his ghost sense. He whined but got up and went to work. It was Plasmius this time.
"What do you want this time Plasmius? I'm not in the mood these days." he said.
"If you don't want to, then why do you?" he said.
"I don't have a choice! I'm the only one that can really get rid of them! Mom and dad aren't very good, the Guys in White suck, and Valerie had to stop after her dad finding out!"
Plasmius smirked.
"Someone is in a bad mood and more like me than usual. I like it."
"I - AM - NOTHING - LIKE - YOU!" he yelled as a Ghostly Wail slipped out. His parents heard it and ran outside.
It was the most powerful Ghostly Wail he had ever made. Sure enough both Danny and Plasmius had switched into their human form. Vlad was on his back and Danny was on his hands and knees breathing deeply.
When his parents had seen them both switch they were shocked. The entire town saw them switch after hearing how long and loud it was. This one was 20 minutes long, his longest one yet. Both Danny and Vlad were nervous. Danny couldn't say anything because he was still working on breathing. Vlad turned red.
"Vlad?!" said Maddie and Jack together.
"What happened?" asked Jack.
"The same thing that happened to Daniel, the portal we were working on in college."
Danny looked up and saw people staring at him.
"He, he's right. But mom and dad already knew. I told them a few months ago. And like I said, they accepted me. As for you, I don't know."
They stared at him.
"So you're the ghost of Wisconsin?" said Jack.
He nodded and crossed his arms.
"Don't say it or your mouth is frozen. Each ghost has a home in the ghost zone. Me and Vlad have two. Ghosts call their homes a haunt or a lair. Amity Park is my haunt. And his home town in Wisconsin is Vlad's haunt."
Vlad was a little surprised at how much he knew. Danny stood up slowly and looked around. He was scared of what people were going to think.
"So you're the ghost I've been hunting? Before my dad made me stop that is." said Valerie.
"Yeah, why do you think I don't hurt you on purpose? I'm the good guy, he's the enemy. Not all ghosts are bad. I have friends in the ghost zone." he said.
Then his ghost sense went off. He looked up and before he could do anything he was shot in his chest by something. His hands went on his chest as he winced. He looked up and saw Skulker. When he shot again Danny made a shield for himself. Then stood fully up and winced again. He switched into his ghost form and went to try and fight him.
"Keep your mouth shut today! I already know what you want after two years."
He aimed some ice at him and got his wings. Skulker was amazed at what he could do already.
"Clockwork was right, you are getting powerful!" he said.
Danny froze. And his teeth went together.
"What, did you just say?!"
He looked at Danny a little scared. Sam and Tucker were a little nervous right now. He shut his eyes and waved his hand. When he did that he got him trapped as a tied person. Sure enough he was on his feet crossing his arms.
"I AM NOT GOING TO BE LIKE HIM! Now keep your mouth shut or I do it myself!" Sure enough he was in the thermos. After that Danny went home and put him in the ghost zone. Then he went to his lair and flew to Clockwork.
'You have some serious explaining to do Clockwork!' he thought on his way there.
He's close to Clockwork to feel more comfortable after what happened.
