Before I get to this chapter I want to apologize for leaving abruptly these last two months, a lot of crap has been going down in my personal life, but I'm sorry.

In a way I almost gave up on writing fanfiction because when you think about it like this it's just a Hobby, I need to live my life because before two months ago I've been ignoring a lot in my life and it was slowly becoming more frequent ever since I began, including distancing myself from people which isn't healthy as they told me and I have to agree which was why I kept myself from being on here for so long.

But it was stupid and selfish of me to do so without a word to anyone who reads my stories and for that I apologize, I'm still going to update stories but I'm not going to go about it like I have been the last few months.

Alright I think that's enough of pushing my problems onto you guys, so here's the next long-awaited chapter to Legend of the Dark Phantom which has been sitting on the backburner for a freaking year.

Chapter 02: The Haunted Library

It's been a day since the Ghosts escaped the lab and Danny has been on the edge for the last few hours.

With how dangerous they seemed, he's been expecting for riots to appear or for more destruction to happen… But it was still peaceful, or as peaceful as you can get in Amity Park.

But he knew that it was the calm before the storm.

"Idiot," Danny muttered as he had a hand on his forehead while walking to school. "Out of all the things you could do you unleash a horde of Ghosts to the world."

How was he supposed to know the On button was on the inside of the machine? For that matter why the hell was it on the inside in the first place?!

Thankfully his parents now know the portal is functioning, although Danny didn't tell them about the Ghosts escaping because of his stupid mistake.

'Okay maybe you're overreacting, the Ghosts aren't really doing anything right now.' Danny thought to himself looking to a bright side. 'Maybe they won't cause any trouble?'

It was stupid to even think that, but he was willing to be optimistic in this point.

But he was also being prepared as he kept a pocket knife in his pocket, the blade was a type of metal that his Dad had, he forgot the name of it but it could hurt Ghosts, in theory.

Hey, considering the Anti-Ghost Shields and Ecto Weapons were theories before the first Ghost Attack all those years ago, Danny was willing to put his faith in the pocket knife, especially considering he wasn't risking bringing an Ecto Pistol to school.

He doesn't need to get into that kind of trouble anytime soon.


Danny had his fingers locked together as homeroom went on as usual, he would normally pay attention to what Mr. Lancer was teaching, but he had other things on his mind.

"So here's what I was thinking," Tucker said next to him writing some stuff down. "If we do this right it's like a squeeze play."

Danny blinked as he heard that and he finally turned to him. "Okay, what are you talking about?" He asked a little concerned.

"Really, you haven't been listening?" Tucker asked with a sigh as he began to repeat himself. "Look I figured out the reason why neither of us have girlfriends."

"Did you now?" Danny asked looking back towards Mr. Lancer to make sure they don't get caught for talking.

"Yes, we don't have a reputation," Tucker said to him. "What we need is something that will show the school the baddasses we are."

Danny gave him a dry look. "Should I be worried by what you have planned?"

"Nope, it's simple," Tucker said proudly. "We get motorcycles."

"Sorry to burst your bubble but we're fourteen," Danny reminded him. "We can't even get a car."

"And there lies the stone cold truth of reality." Tucker moaned dramatically.

Danny rolled his eyes as he smirked. "Well there's always D.O.O.M."

"Video Games do not pick up girls," Tucker muttered his arms crossed. "It chases them away."

"Well I-." Danny stopped as a shadow overcame him and he looked up to see Mr. Lancer.

"I realize that class can be boring Mr. Fenton but I would like to ask for you to remember that you're not here to have fun, but to learn." Mr. Lancer said causing Danny to smile sheepishly.

"Sorry sir." Danny apologized as Tucker looked away innocently before Mr. Lancer gazed at him.

"And that goes double to you Mr. Foley."

"Got it Mr. L," Tucker said trying to be sly only to stop as Mr. Lancer narrowed his eyes. "Shutting up now."

The class chuckled at them getting into trouble before the bell rang.

"Don't forget I want Page 52 about Hamlet done by Monday," Mr. Lancer called out as the students began to get their stuff and leave. "Mr. Fenton, a word."

Danny paused before Tucker placed a hand on his shoulder. "I'll wait for you outside." He promised, making Danny nod.

As Tucker left, Danny walked to the front of Mr. Lancer's desk where the man was writing some stuff down. "Yes sir?"

Mr. Lancer didn't speak up immediately as he placed his pen down and quietly interlocked his fingers together, leaning on his desk. "Is something wrong, Mr. Fenton?"

"Huh?" Danny asked not expecting that.

"All year you've been very attentive, but today you seemed to be-. Distracted," Mr. Lancer said carefully, avoiding saying something else. "Even from speaking with Mr. Foley."

"Oh sorry, just a lot of stuff came up." Danny apologized seeing what he meant.

It wasn't the first time he's been caught in class, but today he was acting a bit unusual, anyone would after the other day.

"Very well, I won't pry but I would like for you to leave whatever it is outside of the classroom." Mr. Lancer said seeing that Danny wasn't going to say what it was.

Danny nodded in agreement. "Got it, do you need anything else?"

"No, you can go," Mr. Lancer said waving him off as he began writing into the book again. "Just remember Page 52 on Monday."

"Got it, sir." Danny said leaving, but he didn't see Mr. Lancer look at the door when he left, a worried expression on his face.


"So, what did Mr. L want?" Tucker asked curiously, the two boys heading for the Cafeteria.

"Just wanted to remind me to do something." Danny said, not telling him as he didn't want Tucker to get involved.

Tucker raised a brow, not convinced. "Uh-huh, if you say so," He said dropping it to mention something else. "So back to my plan on getting us girlfriends here's what I'm thinking since we can't get Motorcycles, how about a Group Date Cafe?"

Slowly Danny looked at him in disbelief. "No more anime for you," He said dryly before sighing. "Hey I'm going to head to the Library, alright?"

"The Library?" Tucker asked in disbelief at hearing that. "Dude why would you go there we already read enough."

"I just want to look into something to help me with some homework that's all." Danny said and Tucker opened his mouth. "Something by myself, I appreciate the help but I want to be able to do it without asking."

Danny was really hoping that Tucker would drop it as he wanted to head there to see if he could find a book on spirits.

Stupid place to search, but at this point he was at a loss and didn't know where else to look.

Thankfully, Tucker sighed. "If you need a hand just holler," He said giving a wave to walk off. "I'll be in the Cafeteria chowing down on some sloppy joes."

Knowing how Tucker was with eating meat, Danny snorted. "Then it's a good thing I chose today." He joked earning a slight glare from Tucker, but he could see that Tucker wasn't that bothered by it.

Seeing Tucker leave, Danny turned and walked off, hoping to reach the Library and get the research going before he rounded the corner, walking into someone.

"Sorry," Danny commented, bending over to pick up some papers that the person he bumped into dropped. "I really need to watch where I'm going."

Looking up as he grabbed the last paper, he paused at seeing that it was the new girl Sam who gave him a look, not a harsh one, but one of mistrust.

"Here," Danny said as she nodded, taking the papers back. "You're Sam, right?"

"I am." Sam answered, not saying much.

'Wow, she really must hate socializing.' Danny idly thought before remembering that he had to get to the Library.

"Well it was nice to meet you but I need to get going, again sorry for bumping into you." Danny said quickly going around Sam who gave him a weird look for his hasty retreat.

But he didn't let it bother him and pretty soon was inside of the Library, casually looking through different books on the shelves.

'Tch, what am I doing?' Danny thought to himself, placing a book about exorcism back when he realized it was a science fiction adventure book. 'Do I really expect to find a book about Ghosts in a school library?'

Giving a sigh, Danny continued looking.

'What else can I do though? I know next to nothing but the theories that Mom and Dad made and I can't just sit by after unleashing a horde by mistake.'

Just thinking about that made Danny grimace as he had a guilty conscience about what happened.

And he still hasn't told his parents about the horde escaping, a stupid mistake on his part, but he just couldn't force himself to confess about it.

Then there was the fact he can't tell anyone else without looking insane and getting shipped to the nearest Asylum to be treated.

'There has to be some way I can solve this without anything getting worse.' Danny thought before finding a weird book, one he's never seen inside of the library before.

'Ghosts of the Ghost Zone by Friedrich Isak Showenhower.'

"Weird." Danny muttered as he was certain the book wasn't there a second ago and there was a bookmark in it with a CW emblem on it.

Raising a brow, Danny opened it to show very detailed sketches of Ghosts, their obsessions and abilities combined with some history.

'Is this for real?' Danny thought looking through it before finding something strange.

This book didn't have a library seal on it.

It wasn't a library book.

Which meant he could take it without raising a few eyebrows.

Danny looked around, seeing he was alone and frowned.

If this was real, it seemed to be too much of a coincidence for it to be here, but Danny cautiously placed it in his backpack that he carried with him.

Having this book was better than nothing, that was for sure.

Then Danny paused, seeing his own breath as the air got colder.

That was strange.

There's no air conditioning inside of the Library and school just started back up a month ago, so it was still summer.

So why was it cold?

Trusting his gut that something was amiss, Danny walked deeper into the Library, feeling the air get colder with each step he took, noting that the Library was devoid of students-even the teacher who watches over the Library was gone-wait, there was one student carefully reading a book.

Danny thinks his name was Poindexter.

Sydney Poindexter.

Shaking his head, Danny continued walking deeper until he was in the very heart of the library and that was when he froze-figuratively- in fear.

Just around the corner was a person calmly reading a book. But this person wasn't human.

This person had neon green skin with wavy brown hair, red eyes that had glasses over them-the glasses were chained around his neck and he wore a black suit. Instead of legs however, there was a green wispy tail.

Danny knew that this was a Ghost and he tensed even more when it turned towards him.

The spirit however chuckled. "Ah, a young mind inside of a Library, that is a rare thing these days," He said carefully closing the book-something on Edgar Allen Poe surprisingly enough. "Greetings youngling, I am the Librarian."

'The Librarian?' Danny's confusion overrode his fears as he raised a brow at the spirit, tensing with it flying close to him.

"Why do you hide your eyes youngling?" The Librarian had a curious tone to his voice, reaching over towards Danny's sunglasses and his mind flash backed to where the one spirit slashed through his eye and quickly got out of his reach in a hostile stance.

"None of your damned business." Danny said harshly, the thought of that day filling him with barely repressed anger.

The Librarian frowned at his lack of respect in his tone before turning away. "Maybe it isn't but you should mind your tongue, youngling," He retorted placing the book back on the shelf and floated around looking to find another one. "And keep your voice down while you're at it, we are in a Library after all."

Danny found himself wondering what was with this Ghost.

From all the studies he and his parents had done, he was told that Ghosts were incapable of feeling or anything but he swore there was a tinge of annoyance in this Ghost's tone.

'Then again, we only encountered Ghosts once and that was without a conversation added to the mix.' Danny thought to himself, seeing the Librarian pick out another book. 'Could we have been wrong-.'

The sound of paper ripping filled the air, causing the air to get extremely cold as the Librarian's head shot up, a look of unadulterated rage in his eyes.

"Who dares defile a book?!" The Librarian asked taking off towards it.

Danny blinked at that as he was surprised by the change of attitude before remembering who was in the Library earlier.

Giving a curse, Danny ran to where he saw the Librarian fly off towards, increasing his speed when he heard a cry of surprise.

Making it to where the cry came from, Danny was greeted with the scene of the Librarian holding Sydney Poindexter by the scruff of his shirt, the teen at this point was shaking from fear and at the point of wetting his pants with books flying around them, glowing with energy.

"How dare you defile works of art!" The Librarian snarled holding the teen up high.

Sydney shivered, not sure what was going on and he was rightfully terrified. "It was an accident, I didn't mean it!"

Not even thinking, Danny grabbed a nearby book that wasn't glowing and chucked it. "Hey!"

His voice caught the Librarian off guard, making him turn in time for the book to slam into his face, sending him flying back a foot while letting Sydney go at the same time, the teen landing on the ground.

"Get out of here!" Danny ordered and Sydney wasted no time in following that order, especially with the Librarian's rage now pointed directly at Danny.

"You should've minded your business Youngling," The Librarian stated dangerously. "Now you will suffer in his place."

With that his hand shot forward, making all the books shoot right at Danny who ducked in time to see the books literally slice through a bookshelf, making it fall over, causing his eyes to widen behind his shades.

'What did I get myself into?' Danny thought quickly running off with the Librarian giving chase.

"There's no running in the Library!" The Librarian snarled more books shooting off the shelf with Danny ducking and weaving his way around them the training in Martial Arts and Gymnastics helping him in this case before he jumped over a table, grabbing a chair and using the momentum in spinning around to throw it.

The Librarian wasn't prepared for that with the chair slamming into him, giving Danny enough time to run down a book aisle.

Thinking quickly, Danny used the ledge to jump up and climb the bookshelf, having practice doing that at home, making it to the top in time for the Librarian to look down the aisle, gaining a stupefied look on his face at seeing Danny disappear.

"Where are you?" The Librarian no longer sounded angry as he was a little intrigued in how this child was doing in this little skirmish, but he didn't look up not thinking that a human would make an attack from above.

Danny crouched on top of the bookshelf and slowly pulled out the knife that he had with him, following the Librarian silently. Finally after waiting for the right moment, Danny jumped landing feet first on the Librarian causing him to yelp in surprise and that was before Danny jammed the knife into his back.

The Librarian gave a roar of pain from the action and energy blasted Danny back into the bookshelf while another bookshelf landed right on him.

Danny felt his vision swimming while the Librarian ripped the knife out of his shoulder and looked at it his eyes narrowing in thought.

'Ectoranium?' The Librarian now looked at Danny in new interest at this development seeing him pass out from the blow. 'This one is dangerous-.'

Footsteps caused the Librarian to tense and turned invisible, taking the knife with him as he watched the first child come in with a bald man in a blue shirt, seeing their eyes widen at the damage before seeing the Youngling unconscious under a bookcase.

Deciding to be discreet, the Librarian flew off not wanting to be bothered any longer.


Danny groaned in pain when he opened his eyes, a light shining down on them causing him to hiss and cover them.

"Easy Mr. Fenton," A voice said in a soothing tone. "Give your eyes a second to adjust."

Slowly Danny reopened his eyes now seeing where he was.

It was the Nurse's Office where he saw Mr. Lancer next to the School Nurse, the latter was the one who spoke.

"Mr. Lancer? Nurse Alice?" Danny asked in confusion, wincing with his head pounding. "What happened?"

"We were hoping you would tell us Mr. Fenton." Mr. Lancer said, concern in his tone.

Nurse Alice had a small flashlight now checking Danny for signs of a concussion when he spoke. "I-I don't know," He lied knowing that there was no way he could reveal the truth and have them take it seriously, especially since he obviously hit his head. "I remembered hearing a scream and going to investigate it before a bookshelf fell on me."

"Memory loss from the point of impact to the cranium." Nurse Alice deduced, writing that down.

Danny felt that was a good and convenient cover when Mr. Lancer spoke up. "Mr. Poindexter came to me telling me a tale of a glowing green man in the Library," He said, nearly making Danny wince. "I thought he was attempting to pull something but then he mentioned something about you being in trouble, so I investigated."

"I'm sorry Mr. Lancer, but I can't remember anything." Danny looked down, making a show of being at a loss, hiding the guilt of lying. "Just the bookcase falling."

"I see." Mr. Lancer looked disappointed due to how he wanted to catch the one who did this in the first place and asking Mr. Poindexter wasn't getting anywhere before he sighed. "Your sister and Mr. Foley are here to see you."

"They are?" Danny asked in surprise.

Sure he could understand his sister seeing him but Tucker was terrified of the Nurse's Office.

"We also called your parents to pick you up and maybe keep you at home for the next few days." Nurse Alice said to him. "Your memory of what happened might come back but it will take time and until then you need bed rest."

"Yes Ma'am," Danny said despite not wanting to do that before asking something else. "Um, where are my sunglasses?"

Already knowing how Danny was with hiding the scar beneath his glasses, Nurse Alice silently handed him the sunglasses right as Mr. Lancer opened the door for his sister and friend.

"Danny are you alright?!" Jazz asked quickly looking him over for injuries.

All Danny did was look at her with a raised brow behind his shades causing Jazz to look apologetic at the question.

"Sorry of course you're not."

"It's fine," Danny didn't look too bothered by that. "How long was I out?"

Tucker adopted a forlorn look. "Five days."

That caused for Danny to shoot up. "Five days?!" He asked in alarm.

Tucker busted out laughing despite the warning looks he got from everyone else. "Nah it was only for an hour."

Danny just rolled his eyes at Tucker's attempt to ease the tension. "Right ignoring your poor attempt at humor, when can I leave?"

"As soon as Mom and Dad get here." Jazz said making Danny sigh before she lifted up his backpack. "Do you want me to wait with you?"

Danny smiled a bit at his sister. "I'm fine, thanks."

"I need to go." Tucker said his eyes catching sight of the syringes causing him to pale a bit. "But I'll be by later to see how you're doing."

"Got it Tuck." Danny replied at him, but as they left him alone with the two teachers, Danny's thoughts went back to the Librarian.

The Ghost was still in the school and that meant that anyone who went to the Library would be in danger.

He needs to find a way to get him out of there.


Later that night, Danny found himself in the Fenton Op's center sitting at the desk with a frown, his sunglasses on the desk itself.

He went up there earlier to do some homework, but right now he couldn't focus.

Not with how that Ghost was still there and then there was the fact that the Ghost has his knife, his one advantage.

'But it worked, so that means next time I should bring in more Fenton Tech to take him down.' Danny thought leaning back. 'I can't focus on homework.'

Deciding to put it back in his backpack, Danny paused and pulled out the book to look through it by skimming through some of the pages to see the sketches again.

If this was real then this Friedrich guy must've done his research-.

Danny's eyes widened after skimming the page with the bookmark and slowly turned back to it.

It was the Librarian Ghost. "I-It is real." Danny stood up and paced around the room reading the book. "The Librarian Ghost, also known as Samuel Turner was once a young soul full of life at the beginning of the 20th century. Always alone, he found love in books and wanted to be a Librarian. It is unknown how he became a Ghost although suicide seems to be a possible process."

Now closing the book, Danny got to the computer and opened up google to type in 'Samuel Turner 20th Century'.

Considering he had a name it was possible he could find out more about this guy.

There was rarely anything on the search besides a few files about a shooting last year by a Samuel Turner-wrong guy with the same name- before he came across an intriguing link.

'Man Hangs himself in Casper Library.'

Danny quickly clicked on it and opened an extremely old news article where the body of the local Librarian was found hanging from the top of a bookshelf, the exact same row that the teen met the Librarian.

Seeing the date was June 3rd, 1930, Danny figured it out.

"That was when the Stock Market crashed," Danny leaned back with a frown having mixed feelings about this. "No job and I don't think he had any friends so he didn't see anything to live for."

On one hand he knew he could use this information to his advantage if he confronted the Ghost again, but on the other hand he couldn't help but feel some pity for the spirit who remains at the place he committed suicide.

"Danny?" Danny jumped and quickly closed out the web page right when Jazz walked up, thankfully the door to the room was directly behind the computer desk so there was no reason for her to see what was on the screen. "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you."

"I wasn't scared." Danny lied straight through his teeth, fingering his shades as he did so. "What's up?"

"I came up to get you for Dinner." Jazz said seeing through the lie considering that Danny had a habit of fingering his shades whenever he was lying, but knowing how he was she didn't push.

Danny hesitated causing Jazz to smirk, knowing what he was thinking.

"It's take-out."

"Oh thank God." Danny sighed, relieved that their parents didn't cook before he grabbed his bag and ran out to get down there.

Jazz went to follow him before looking back at the computer, biting her lip with some curiosity showing on her face.

It won out and she quickly brought up the last thing Danny looked up to see why he was nervous. Maybe it was something she could help him through so she could practice her psychology?

She wasn't expecting for it to be a News Article from the early thirties about a man hanging themselves in their school library.

"Why would you look this up?" Jazz questioned, concern in her tone.


Danny was quiet while in the Fenton Lab with Maddie and Jack, currently wearing a white hazmat suit in comparison to their orange and teal, carefully examining the video footage of a small camera they placed inside of the Ghost Zone.

It wasn't as creepy as Danny thought it could be, but the swirling green surroundings were still a bit unsettling.

Taking a small sigh as he wrote down a bit of a report, Danny glanced over his shoulder to see Jack working on some kind of glowing rope that caught his interest.

Now a bit curious in what it was, Danny stood up and left the screen with it still recording in case something happens while he wasn't looking and walked over. "Jack, I don't think some of these are possible." Maddie was next to Jack holding some blueprints. "We don't have the right materials for some of them."

"We'll find a way Mads, we did create the Fenton Thermos and the Fenton Fisher." Jack said optimistically while Danny raised a brow.

"Dad, the Thermos is just a Thermos it doesn't work." Danny told him causing Jack to give a booming laugh.

"It might just be a Thermos but it's a Thermos with the word Fenton on it."

"So it's like the Fenton Anti-Creep stick?" Danny asked dryly pointing towards a normal baseball bat with the F emblem on it, hanging in what looked to be the beginning of an armory with a few Ecto Guns.

"Exactly," Jack clapped a hand on Danny's shoulders. "So anything new with the recordings?"

"Not really, I've seen nothing but the sky there." Danny sighed and rubbed his head.

"Danny maybe you should turn in early," Maddie suggested, surprising the teen. "You've had a hard day."

"I'm fine Mom." Danny waved it off before quirking a brow. "So what's the rope for?"

"It's the line for the Fenton Fisher, completely indestructible and if we're right a Ghost won't be able to phase through it." Jack explained, showing the flexibility by pulling on it.

Considering how strong his Dad was as most of the weight on him was actually muscle, Danny was pretty impressed by how durable the rope seemed.

But he was looking at it in contemplation.

If a Ghost couldn't phase through it-and it was more likely they can't given how his parents knew exactly what they were building, this line would be invaluable against the Librarian.

Same thing for the Thermos considering they never tested it on an actual Ghost before.

'And I'll have to grab my pistol considering my knife was gone when I woke up.' Danny was slightly disappointed that he no longer had the pocket knife considering it worked well against the Librarian who he was sure had it due to the fact that he didn't get any sign of Mr. Lancer finding it in there.


Late that night, Danny was sneaking into Casper High to get to the Library.

He didn't want to wait any longer than he had to with how volatile and deadly the Librarian was.

And due to it being the weekend now, he knew it was the best time to do it.

Right now he was dressed all in black, with a ski mask over his face-he didn't want anyone to know who he was despite how sketchy he looked.

He also had a small tool belt on with the Thermos on his left side while an Ecto Pistol was strapped to his right and he had the glowing Fenton Line rolled up, ready to grab.

The Ecto Pistol looked very different than what his Parents made considering he made his own version with materials he's gained over the years-he has a hard enough time hiding it so he never tried building the other Fenton Weaponry in fear of his parents finding it.

If they knew what he was doing now they would ground him for the rest of his life.

Calmly picking the lock to get inside of the Library from outside, Danny slipped in silently and walked through the row of shelves, seeing some of them still knocked over from his last fight.

It was cold, very cold and that was what told Danny that the Librarian was here somewhere.

Keeping an eye on his surroundings, Danny stopped in fear at seeing two red eyes glaring at him from the shadows.

"A Thief in the Library?" The Librarian asked rage in his tone. "You have some nerve-."

"I'm not a thief." Danny said causing the Librarian's eyes to widen in recognition at his voice.

"The Youngling?!" Librarian flew into view and the lightless room made his appearance more menacing. "Do you covet death so much that you return here after what you've done."

"No I just came to talk," Danny said taking a deep breath to calm himself. "Samuel."

"Yo-," The Librarian couldn't form a sentence at first in his shock. "You know my name?"

"I did my research and found out about what happened," Danny said seeing the uncertainty flicker in Librarian's eyes and pushed forward. "We don't have to fight, we can just talk it out."

"Talk? No the time for talking has passed youngling." The Librarian snarled, clearly remembering when he was stabbed in the shoulder. "We have unfinished business to attend to."

Danny gave a sad sigh, seeing that diplomacy wouldn't work here. "Very well, then you leave me no choice." He quickly pulled the Ecto Pistol out and shot at the Librarian who was too shocked at the sight to turn intangible.

Giving a cry of pain, the Librarian's hands glowed making books shoot out at Danny who quickly dove for cover. "Great thing to put in my obituary," He muttered with the books flying above him, cutting into the wall. "Death by paper-cut."

So he took on a part of the ecto fishing line with a metal hook attached to it and spun it around before tossing it at the Librarian who turned intangible quickly only to be surprised when the rope actually wrapped around him.

"What is this?!" The Librarian demanded only to be kicked in the chest by Danny, using the momentum to launch himself backwards and do a handspring dodge another book.

"Something I'd like to call Ghost-Wire." Danny commented dryly, not wanting to give out his family name as he pulled on the wire to make the Librarian spin a bit uncontrollably.

While he was spinning, Danny let loose a left hook followed up by a roundhouse kick, sending the Librarian right into a table where he flew up quickly and tackled Danny who was unprepared for the sheer strength of the Ghost who just palmed his chest, sending him crashing through a chair in pain.

'Shit, I think I broke something.' Danny thought, his chest flaring up in pain.

"To be able to harm Ghosts, you aren't normal." The Librarian muttered before giving a yell, every book in the library was beginning to glow and fly out of the bookcase in a twister of energy, the force of the wind, blowing Danny back a bit. "It's time I end this."

"Couldn't agree with you more Samuel," Danny muttered, taking the Thermos out and uncapping it. "Please work."

With that he aimed it at the Librarian and pressed the button.

A beam of blue energy shot out, enveloping the Librarian much to his surprise. "W-What is this?!" He shouted trying to escape the energy before he felt himself being pulled in. "N-No let me go."

"I'm sorry," Danny muttered when the Librarian was pulled in, closing the Thermos. "You've been dealt a bad hand in life, but that doesn't give you the right to terrorize people."

That was when he heard the books drop, followed by something metal and turned with a raised brow to see his pocket knife.

"Sweet, I got this back." Danny pocketed the knife and retrieved the wire when the door slammed open to show the school security guard.

"Hey stop," He shouted at seeing Danny, who was thankful that he wore the mask before he ran. "I said stop!"


Danny groaned as he made his way back into the Fenton Ops, taking the mask off with a smirk.

He lost the guard thankfully and felt that he might be on the News in the morning but Danny couldn't help but feel elated.

'I took on a Ghost and won.' Danny thought, proud of his accomplishment.

Maybe he had a chance at this?

Giving a slight laugh of relief, Danny turned to look at the Thermos his smile falling.

So he caught the Librarian, what should he do with him?

To Be Continued…

Been awhile huh? Sorry for the long hiatus on this story and I hope this chapter makes up for it.

Some of it was the same as the re-write but there were quite a few differences too that I hope you enjoyed.

So let me answer some reviews.

PhantomDragon99: Yes to all of them.

JP-Ryder: Huh cameos like that would be good to type, but right now I want to keep this mainly DP-although I might take some bad guys from other forms of media to be an enemy of the Dark Phantom.

Coldblue: Yup that was the whole point, I felt that was missing from the original story and I wanted to give a point of view on what this version of Amity Park was-sure it's the same as Canon but it's also hiding a lot more danger underneath it all, especially when night falls. I felt it would add more to Tucker's character if he was like that-he is a hacker in Canon after all so why not add to that? Jazz, Jack and Maddie are the hardest for me to type but I hope I'm doing them justice and I hope to add more of them as I get used to typing them.

Now for the questions. 1) Well yes and no, he'll tell them that it turned on but not the how and what happened for the reasons you listed. 2) Yes, Maddie's remark about that will be shown later on but Danny has been training intensely for six years so it stands to show that he is kind of a genius in terms of Martial Arts but still has a long way to go. 3) That's a pretty good point, especially because of how fluid Maddie was shown to be in fights in the cartoon, trophies and certificates will be shown. 4) Yes it will be shown as the story continues, so far Danny is still working on how it all works, just the stuff his parents already built and he can read the blueprints, but working on them in his own time is something he hasn't attempted as of yet-mostly due to not having an area to do so. 5) I haven't, but I will attempt to do so when I can. 6) Pretty likely, I will drop hints of a remnants of one in future chapters but they won't come into play until much later. 7) That will happen again and that was why i redid this because I felt I could've done better with the story in terms of making it a good one. 8) That might happen but not until a bit later when the Dark Phantom is becoming an 'Urban' Myth. 9) Nah, I might have Tucker come in later than last time because I did kind of screwed up in him just bringing him in out of nowhere last time. 10) No clue. 11) Holy crap that's an awesome origin for Ember McLain.

Nightmaster000: Looking back at the original I believe that I screwed up on a few parts, I won't list them to save time but I felt it could always be better which was why I began to do this-and I can't believe I just let it rest for a year without any word. I'll keep the original up but I will only update the newer version. I do plan to use the stuff I was going to do in the original-another reason I kept the original story so I could look back over those reviews and not forget them. As for the pairing, still not sure.

FanficFan920: Yes that's exactly what's going on here.

Justus80: I guess it's because of how I look at it now compared to how I typed back then, I can see a lot of errors-then again I'm never satisfied when it comes to improving my writing but I just wanted to try and make this story better.

The Keeper of Worlds: Sorry for the extremely long wait, here you go.

Slenderbrine: Thanks that was what I was going for, after all it's actually pretty fun to type a story about a powerless Danny still trying to be a Hero, and show the more dangerous and dark parts of the Danny Phantom Universe.

Revan Alek Shan: I am sorry for the long wait.

Richard1081: Sorry about that, I lost my muse on a lot of DP related stories which is why I'm trying to work my way back in with this one.

Alright this is Spidey Signing Out, see you all next time!
