All of this has been a plan to get rid of Danny. The question is, who did it?


Chapter 8:

Someone Wants Him Gone

Sam, Tucker, Danny's parents, and Jazz came to the court house on Saturday along with the attorney. The stood in the front of the building waiting for Danny.

"I hope this works," Sam said.

"It will work. We have irrefutable proof that Danny is innocent," the attorney said.

The guards came through the doors with Danny. He was still handcuffed and he looked tired like he'd barely slept but the smile lit his face when he saw all of them. Sam ran over to him, took his face in her hands, and kissed him. "Danny, are you okay?!"

He smiled. "I'm fine Sam. You worry too much."

"I'm sorry I…I was just so worried…"

He turned his hands intangible and the handcuffs clattered to the floor confusing the guards behind him. Then he put his arms around her. "It's okay Sam. I'm glad you care."

"Of course I care." They kissed again then realized there were people watching them. They went over to everyone else.

"Danny, I'm Ian Glotfelty," the lawyer said shaking his hand. "I'll be presenting your case. You won't be going to prison for life."

"We've got everything set bro," Tucker said.

"Yeah, we stole the security cameras on the street. They show everything," Sam said.

Tucker crossed his arms. "I stole the security camera. I figured out how to hack into the files."

"Well it was my idea," Sam said. "And we went into the Ghost Zone."

"You two have been busy," Danny said impressed.

"The bomb wasn't Young Blood's idea," Tucker said. "Someone forced him to. It was a plan to have you framed."

"Who did it?"

"We couldn't get it out of him," Sam said apologetically. "But someone is trying to get rid of you."

Danny shrugged. "Well that's nothing new. Someone's trying to make everyone hate me, kill me. Same old everyday business."

The trial soon begun. The same police officer who had arrested him testified against him. Danny examined him as he spoke. For the first time he noticed how bright his eyes were. It was like they were glowing green. Danny's breath was coming out blue and cold. There were ghosts around. From what he could sense more than one and it didn't include him. He recognized that voice. How could he have been so stupid?

"He's being over shadowed," he said softly so that only Sam and Tucker could hear.

"By who?" Tucker asked.

"Walker." Before anyone knew what was going on he turned into a ghost, flew over the bench he was sitting at, and attacked the police officer. Everyone in the court room gasped. The guards prepared to grab him. "You're not officer Pallazio!" he exclaimed.

"What are you talking about you crazy kid?! Get him off me!"

Two guards pulled him off. Danny shot them both with ectoplasm sending them backwards and hitting the wall, then he flew back at the police officer. This time he turned intangible. He flew straight inside of the police officer, grabbed Walker, and pushed him out as hard as he could.

Everyone gasped when they saw the tall ghost in the white suit.

Walker stood up and looked at Danny with a smirk on his face. "Hello Danny Phantom."

"This is your fault!" Danny said. "You blackmailed Young Blood into planting the bomb! And you had me framed and arrested so you could try to kill me! You've been controlling this police officer the whole time and you've got everyone in here being controlled!"

Walker's smirk widened. "Very good Danny. You're still a smart boy."

"Why?!"

"We still have problems that have gone unsolved."

"When I saved the earth, I saved the Ghost Zone! You helped! Why are you turning against me now?!"

"You saved my world, that doesn't mean I still can't hate you." He snapped his fingers and his army of ghosts came out of the judge, the guards, and the witnesses. "Kill him."

All of the ghosts flew at Danny. There were twenty of them. Everyone else in the court room ran out screaming. He stood his ground and fought them.

"Danny take this!" Tucker said tossing the thermos at him.

Danny took it and put it over his shoulder. "You two get out of here!"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, get to safety!" he said. One of the ghosts came at him and threw him against the wall.

Sam cringed when he hit the wall and wondered if there was something she could do to help him. Then Tucker grabbed her arm. "Come on!" They left the court room and pushed past the people outside trying to see what was going on and avoid getting hurt and get footage of the fight.

A few of the ghosts had fled trying to get away from Danny. Others were still on Walker's side.

"You're a coward Walker!" Danny said. "If you were a real man you'd fight me yourself and you wouldn't hide behind your slaves!"

"Nice try Danny. I won't be as easily provoked. I'm not Skulker."

Danny managed to get rid of all of the ghosts and he flew at Walker but before he could reach him, he was thrown into the benches and slammed into the wall.

"If it's a fight you want from me, then it's a fight you'll get." Walker shot red beams out of his hands at Danny burning him. Danny tried his best to deflect them but Walker was good. Danny was up against the wall, Walker was consistently shooting him and he was growing consistently weaker screaming in pain. Walker shot at the ceiling above Danny and part of it collapsed on him.

Danny opened his eyes. His head was spinning and he was so weak from being shot at by Walker's plasma beams. He pushed the pieces of the wall off himself. Walker was coming towards him gathering up the energy in his hands.

"Say good bye Danny Phantom."

Danny thought fast. Just as Walker shot at him he split himself in half and both halves of himself moved in opposite directions avoiding the blast.

"I've stopped you before Walker, and I'll do it again!" both Danny's said. They shot ectoplasm blasts at him sending him slamming into the opposite wall and leaving a crater in it. Walker came back at him and punched him. Danny grabbed his arms and electricity ran through Walker making him scream. Then Danny shoved his hand in him. "Say good night Walker." He turned on the energy beam in his hand and split Walker in half.

"AAHH!"

Then he shot the super ghost ray at him and make him explode until there was nothing left. He'd be back. Ghosts didn't die. And when he came back he'd be mad. But until then, he was gone and that was all that mattered.

He looked around the court room. It was a mess. There were holes and burns in the walls, the benches were split into pieces. He noticed there was still a witness huddled fearfully under the judges stand (which had half of it blasted off by the way).

The doors opened and people started coming back inside to give him his sentence. What would they think of him now?
