Author's Note- Oh, cliffhanger! Yikes! So Danny's hero complex just caused him to give himself up for Danielle… or was it something else? Yes, I am indeed enjoying this.
Danny's POV
"Take me and let Danielle go," I said.
Mom looked suspicious. "Alright, fine, under three conditions. First-"
"Daddy, no!" Danielle cried. "Don't! I'm just a mistake! Don't let them!"
An agent shocked Dani. "Stop hurting her!" I yelled.
Suddenly, I saw Sam and Tucker running toward me. I glared at the agent as he came closer.
"What's going on, Danny?" Sam asked nervously. "What happened?"
"They have Dani," I told her. "So I'm doing the best I can to get her away from them." I look back at my mother. "You were saying?"
"First, you wear these handcuffs, which will prevent you from using your powers."
"Fine," I said instantly. I knew that one was coming.
"Second, you must not make any sign of disobedience or struggle."
Again, predictable. I nodded.
"And lastly, you will change into your human form," she finished.
That was unexpected. Apparently, someone had alerted the school to what was happening, because most of Casper was now watching our bartering. I would have to reveal my secret to the entire town, plus, many people were recording. Still, I didn't hesitate.
"Deal."
Sam's POV
Some days, I really wish Danny didn't have this hero-complex of his.
"What do you think you're doing?" I asked him.
"Saving my daughter's life," he said calmly. "I've looked at it from every angle, and this is the only way."
Tears in my eyes, I grabbed his hand. "You better have a plan."
"Hey," he wiped away a tear. "Look after her for me, okay?" I shakily nodded. Then, he took a deep breath, and… kissed me. It was amazing. I can't even begin to describe how it felt… when he pulled away, he whispered three little words in my ear, before turning to the GIW.
"Okay, here's how this is going to go. You are going to give Danielle Phantom over to Samantha Manson. Then, you can put the handcuffs on me. I will not put up a fight. Then, I will revert to my human form, and you can take me away. Do we have a deal?"
The GIW agent nodded. He handed Dani over to me, and she clung to me, both of us crying. Then, Danny turned around, allowing the agent to handcuff him. I could hardly look, but I knew this might be the last time I would see Danny alive. He cried out in pain as the cuffs clicked into place.
"Stop it! You're hurting him!" called out a voice from the crowd watching.
"You're the evil ones!" "Sociopaths!" "Trying to kill a little girl!"
The kids of Casper High were in an uproar to stop the GIW, a few even rushing forward to try and save Danny, but no amount of protests could stop the agents. I cried as, strangely enough, Paulina and Star comforted me.
"He will get out of it; he's Danny Phantom!" Paulina assured me.
"He must really love you, to trust you with his daughter," Star said. "I'm sure he'll be okay."
"He's not," I sobbed. "He think's he's going to d-d-die. That's w-why he k-k-kissed me."
"I'm sorry," Paulina said.
I think she really meant it, too.
3rd Person POV
There was still one more part of the deal to complete. The crowd was quiet as Danny Phantom took a deep breath, and two white rings appeared. It seemed to be in slow motion as the jumpsuit became a t-shirt, slightly showing a massive amount of scars, and jeans. Maddie Fenton cringed as she saw the scars on a boy not a lot older than her own, if older at all. Then, the green eyes turned blue, and the white hair, black.
And almost Maddie had a heart attack as she saw her own son, about to be taken away.
