Disclaimer I do not own Danny Phantom or it's characters. This is just a story for fun.
The members of the team were patching themselves bandaging themselves up and repairing the damage done to the lab. Vlad looked at his fellow teammates.
"I'm going back to my estate in Wisconsin." Said Vlad.
"Why?" Asked Dani.
"I need to make amends for my past crimes and there's just so many memories here." Said Vlad as he looked at a nearby picture frame of a young Vlad, Jack, and Maddie then back at Dani. "You need to have a proper family to care for you. I can't give you that, but these people can." Said Vlad indicating Damon and Valerie.
Dani looked at Vlad sadly then suddenly threw her arms around him and embraced him. Vlad was taken with feelings of joy. Never before had he felt such affection like this. He returned the embrace.
"So this is what it feels like to actual care for someone. I've been a fool all these years." Thought Vlad.
"I'll miss you. You were bad at first, but now I see you do care about people. If it's one good thing that came out of all this mess it's that you became a better person." Said Dani.
"Thank you." Said Vlad as the two stopped hugging.
He walked over to Damon and Valerie. He reached into his pockets and pulled out some keys and a piece of paper.
"I give the keys and the deed to FentonWorks to you." He said handing the items to Damon. "If you need any help or anything just give me a call."
"Thanks." Said Damon.
"One more thing. Can you please take care of Dani for me. She deserves to be with people, who'll take care of her." Said Vlad.
"Will be glad to." Said Valerie.
"Thank you." Said Vlad as he exited the lab.
Vlad walked out of the house and headed to the memorial to say his last goodbyes. He looked up at the statues of Jack and Maddie.
"I'm sorry for what happened to Danny, I'm also sorry for the way I treated you both over the past years. My powers made me blind and arrogant. Jack I'm sorry for blaming you for the incident that gave me my powers. It was an accident. Maddie I forgive you for not choosing me. After all these years I think I'm now starting to realize, why you chose Jack over me. He was the better man and you deserved better then me. I let my pride blind me and get in the way of our friendship. I just wish you were both still alive, so I can tell you this in person. Farewell my friends." Said Vlad as he walked away with a sad smile on his face.
In the Ghost Zone Dan was roaring in absolute rage! He flew around and blasted several floating rocks into pieces. He had been so close to destroying all those, who were a threat to him in his home town only to end up getting knocked into the Ghost Zone and trapped. It was infuriating! He blasted a floating rock the size of a building into pieces! Man he needed someone to hit!
Unbeknownst to Dan Box Ghost just happen to be floating by and saw some of the floating rocks explode. Curious about who was causing it he went to investigate. He saw a familiar black and white outfit. Box Ghost recognized the outfit, but failed to notice the difference the now flaming white hair and and green skin. He approached his enemy from behind.
"Beware I am the Box Ghost!" He shouted weaving his hands in the air.
Dan let out a creepy laugh as he turned to face Box Ghost. Box Ghost eyes nearly popped out in fight as he saw Dan.
"Who...are...you?!" Gasped a freaked out Box Ghost.
"Why Box Ghost, don't you recognize your old enemy?" Asked Dan with mockery.
"Danny...Phantom?" Asked Box Ghost.
"Correct. Your smarter then I give you credit. You may call me Dan Phantom from now on. I'm having a bad day and I really need to work some stress out." Said Dan as glowing green energy appeared in his hands and started moving closer to Box Ghost.
It took Box Ghost a second to horribly realize what was going to happen. He then made a smart decision. He flew away screaming as fast as he could.
"AAAAAAAAA! BEWARE!" He screamed.
"Oh this is going to be fun." Said Dan as he took off after the fleeing ghost.
Box Ghost glanced behind him and saw Dan gaining on him and clumsily fired some energy attacks at him. They either missed or Dan just deflected them. Dan created a rope out of green energy and twirled it like a lasso. He then threw it around Box Ghost and grabbed him.
"I don't want to be packaged!" Wailed Box Ghost.
Dan started twirling the bound ghost above his head a hurled him at a nearby a floating island. Box Ghost smashed into the island and made a creator. Dan looked at a enormous floating rock the size of a football field. He smiled wickedly as he flew up and grabbed it. He started pushing it towards the island Box Ghost was on.
"Special delivery!" Laughed Danny as he hurled the rock at Box Ghost!
Box Ghost looked up and screamed. He got to his feet and flew like mad trying to escape the enormous rock. He just barely got out of the way, when the rock hit and exploded sending Box Ghost tumbling through the Ghost Zone screaming. Dan just laughed and flew after the tumbling ghost.
Box Ghost fell and landed on a island that looked like some kind of desert race way. It was by change that Johnny 13 and his girlfriend Kitty were riding around on Johnny's motorcycle. The two of them went to see, who had landed on their little island. They saw Box Ghost and recognized him.
"What happened to you?" Asked Johnny.
Box Ghost staggered to his feet and looked wildly at the sky.
"BEWEAR! A enemy that we both share has lost his moral wrapping and has released insanity!" Screamed Box Ghost.
Johnny and Kitty just looked at Box Ghost in confusion.
"What?" Asked Kitty.
Before Box Ghost could answer the air was filled with evil laughter. Box Ghost cringed in fright as Johnny and Kitty looked up at the sky and saw Dan.
"We'll it looks like I'm bumping into all kinds of familiar ghost today." Said Dan as he located down to the three ghost.
"Ghost Boy!" Said a shocked Johnny.
"It's Dan Phantom now." Said Dan.
"What happened to you?" Asked Kitty.
"Oh you know puberty, lost my loved ones, and I got rid of my humanity. Nothing to major." Said Dan casually.
The three ghost took one look at Dan and all three came up with the same conclusion that he was insane and on a rampage.
"Babe get off the bike. It looks like this punk wants a fight." Said Johnny.
"Be careful." Said Kitty as she jumped off the bike.
"Shadow go!" Shouted Johnny as he summoned his shadow to attack.
The Shadow slammed into Dan and the two of them locked hands and pushed against one another. Dan just laughed and grinned wickedly.
"Hiding behind your shadow again. Ha! Your such a coward!" Laughed Dan as his hands glowed with green fire and set Shadow ablaze!
Shadow screamed as he disappeared back into Johnny, who glared at Dan.
"You think your hot stuff do you? Well try this on for size!" Said Johnny as he revved his bike.
He went into a wheelie and charged forward at Dan. Dan just raised his hands and caught the front tire with his hands. Johnny gave the bike more gas trying to crush Dan. The former hero didn't even budge. Johnny summoned his Shadow to attack Dan from behind. As Shadow charged towards Dan's back Dan created a double ganger that released a great burst of flames at Shadow forcing to disappear and retreat back into Johnny. The double ganger went back into Dan.
"Time to end your little motorcycle fun." Said Dan as he picked the bike up.
Johnny quickly let go of the bike and dropped to the ground. Dan hurled the bike into the air and blasted it with a burst of energy destroying it.
"Nobody messes with my bike!" Yelled Johnny as he slammed his fist into Dan's face.
Johnny grinned as his fist connected with Dan's face. Dan just laughed. Johnny looked shock at first then his shock turned into out right fear. His punch hadn't done any harm to Dan at all! It didn't even make him budge!
"Ha! Is that your best shot! How pathetic! No wonder you use that Shadow to fight. Oh well my turn!" Said Dan as he threw a punch at Johnny.
Johnny raised both his arms to defend himself, but they did no good to stop the damage. The punch slammed into Johnny and sent him flying back through several rocks. Kitty screamed with fright. Dan just grinned wickedly. It felt so good not to have to restrain himself from hurting his enemies to badly. Now he could cut loose.
Dan started to walk towards Johnny, when Box Ghost sprung at his back for a surprise attack by throwing his right hand at Dan to deliver a powerful punch. Dan spun around at super speed and caught Box Ghost's right hand. He then proceeded to crush it. Box Ghost fell to his knees screaming.
"Aaaaaaaaaa! Please...release...the packaging that is...crushing my hand!" Begged Box Ghost as he looked up into Dan's eyes for mercy.
There was none.
"I'm sorry Box Ghost, but I have to make an example out of you to warn other ghost to BEWEAR of me. You understand don't you." Said Dan as he enveloped Box Ghost's hand in green energy blowing it clean off!
Box Ghost fell to the ground screaming as he clutched his stump of an arm. He reached for the severed remains of his hand, which Dan then destroyed with a burst of green fire. Dan then faced the down Box Ghost. He leaned down and pointed a finger glowing with green energy.
"I need to make more of an example of you. Ghost need to see how serious I am." Said Dan as he rammed his glowing fingers right into Box Ghost's left eye!
Box Ghost screamed as slime burst of his eye socket and then turned into a black hard substance from the heat of Dan's energy. Box Ghost clutched his empty eye socket as he fell to the ground in a heap. Dan turned back to walking towards Johnny, who was just getting back up. Dan blasted him in the shoulder and knocked him back to the ground. Dan walked up to him.
"I'm sorry to say this Johnny, but you'll never ride again." Said as he stomped on Johnny's legs with tremendous force.
"Aaaaaaaaa! I can't feel my legs!" Screamed Johnny as he looked down at his mangled legs that were both pointed in a couple of odd directions.
"Good luck. I hope you and Box Ghost make a complete recovery." Said Dan as he walked to Kitty.
Kitty just stood there shaking in fright as Dan approached her. He stopped a few feet in front of her.
"Go tend to your boyfriend and Box Ghost I'd hate for them to pass away before I get to have more fun with them." Said Dan as he flew off into the sky.
Dan smiled a little. He was still mad about being banished to the Ghost Zone, but this gave him an opportunity to test his powers and deal with past enemies. He would still look for a way to get back to Earth, until then the Ghost Zone and it's inhabitants
would provide him with entertainment. It was time for a little payback and he was going to enjoy every minute of it.
To be continued.
