Ok, so I want this to be as original as possible, so please, please review. Depending on the responses I may rewrite this chapter.

Disclaimer: I still don't own Danny Phantom. Do you yet?

GHOST!!! shouted Maddie and Jack together seeing the owner of the voice.

"Oh, this just gets better and better," chuckled the intruder, "You stuck with them! Ha! I've really got to hand it to Plasmius, this torture plan is pure genius."

"So you're the henchman! What do you want, Skulker!?" demanded Danny glaring at the villain that was floating about 100 feet away.

"I want your pelt, of course. Plasmius promised I could have it, as long as I kept an eye on you and made sure you didn't reveal your secret." said Skulker, "I really didn't think you had the guts to do it, but now the hunt can begin…again." Both parents momentarily glanced at Danny with shocked faces, and then returned their attention to the ghost.

"That's just gross!!!" shouted Jack then as an afterthought said, "Although I'd love to have your pelt, Ghost."

Maddie glared at her ghost obsessed husband and then turned back to the ghost and shouted, "We're not letting you hurt our boy!"

"I'm afraid you have no choice in the matter," said Skulker as he shot a gun at them.

"LOOK OUT," shouted Danny as he tried to put himself between the blast and his parents. The blast hit the lift making it bounce knocking Danny off.

"DANNY!!!" the parents both shouted. Maddie was soon launched forward as she held on tightly to her son's hand. Jack quickly grabbed Maddie's middle so she wouldn't go over the bar.

"Mom!" shouted Danny.

"It's ok, sweety. I've got you," said Maddie.

"No, no, Mom, you've got to let go! He's gonna fire again. Let me go!"

"Are you nuts!?" shouted Jack.

"I'm not letting go of you Danny," said Maddie with a panicked and choked up voice.

"Mo-," Danny was interrupted as a blast whizzed by behind him. "Thank goodness, he's a lousy hunter." Danny thought then continued seriously, "Let me go, I'll be fine."

"No, no you won't! It's too big a drop!"cried Maddie.

"You wanted to know my secret. I'll show it to you. Just let me go!" shouted Danny.

"I don't care anymore! I'm not letting you fall!!!"

Danny looked toward Skulker and saw he was quickly crossing the short distance between them.

"OH CRUD!" thought Danny. He looked up at his Mom one last time. "Don't worry," he said reassuring as he phased his hand through hers. Maddie felt the sudden disappearance of the hand and saw him falling.

"NOOOOO!!!" cried both Maddie and Jack watching him. He was falling fast through the cold air, but he wasn't screaming or frailing about, he just looked extremely ticked off. Then they saw the light. The blinding rings that traveled up and down their son changing him into… Phantom.

Review!!! And don't worry I'll update very, very soon.
