A/N:I'M ALIIIIIVEEEEE!
Wow, it's been absolutely forever since I've uploaded. I'm really sorry that I haven't been able to post any updates to my stories. I've been super busy with school and every thing and it's called down enough that I finally listened to my Netflix notifications and watched a certain spooky superhero.
More or less, I immediately loved the Danny Phantom series.
And I found a ton of fanfictions on here about the series. A couple commons ones were the "class gets stuck on an island and Danny hides his secret but fails at the same time" or "class gets kidnapped and Danny has to hide his secret while saving them" or "class goes into the Ghost Zone and he has to hide his secret while also getting everyone home after a Speeder Spectre Bus crashes thanks to Skulker." I know this series is ten years old at this point, but the Phantdom is still as strong as ever (PUNS) and everyone would love it if Nickelodian brought the series back.
I think I just realized two of my favorite characters in a fictional show/game are both half-dead but superpowerful fighters who hide their powers from friends and family. Aka Sans and Danny. Plus they both love puns and hilarious pranks apparently.
Who knew?
So I've been working on this idea for a few days now and I finally have enough idea of where the story is going that I'm going to start posting it. I have no clue if any of you readers read my other fics but they're old and I haven't updated in months.
I hope you all enjoy my take on the "Lancer's class stuck on an island and Danny has to keep the secret that he's Phantom" idea!
Rated T for language, blood, wounds and just it's Danny Phantom so just death too I guess.

Background:
The junior students that are Mr. Lancer's ELA class have been chosen for a field trip to Rio in Brazil in order to research the origins of a book they're reading. On this trip are Danny Fenton/Phantom, Dash Baxter, Kwan, Star, Paulina, Mr. Lancer, Mikey(actual characters that I know of) and Julie, Ryan and Mars. (Characters I made up because I'm too lazy to look up who else is in Danny's class). On the day of the trip, Sam is grounded and unable to go on the trip, while Tucker is sick and Valerie broke her collarbone during one of her hunts.
Sometime during the flight, the plane crashes. Danny is the only one awake and manages to save everyone and drag them to a nearby island. He collects his bags and as many bags of the other students. When he reaches shore, he cleans their injuries and bandages them up. Unfortunately, he refuses to help himself first, and begins to bleed out. He flees into the woods, bleeding both human blood and ectoplasm, but collapses in a clearing. The tale begins about an hour after he falls unconscious, and will switch between perspectives.

Lancer's POV~
...
Lancer woke to hear birds calling and waves crashing. Water lapped against his side, and he struggled to sit up, moaning as his head pounded.
He was on a beach, with a forest behind him. Limp figures were lined up next to him, and carry-on bags were piled somewhat neatly past the other unconscious teens.
Lancer dragged himself to his feet and rushed to the person next to him. Kwan was unconscious, and a bloody gash down his arm was actually bandaged, from what Lancer could tell, quite professionally. He moved down the line, checking students and trying to wake them. Most grumbled in pain and sat up eventually.
Lancer had woken everyone, making sure they all were there. He frowned. Everyone's wounds had been cleaned and bandaged beforehand, but he was sure no one had a large enough first aid kit to do that.
"Wait, where's Fenton?!" Someone cried out. They looked around, realizing that the one missing member of their class was in fact the raven-haired boy.
Lancer panicked. He couldn't have lost a student, he couldn't have -
His eyes fell onto a strange pattern in the sand.
It looked like someone's footsteps, dragging into the forest. Strange red and green drops were scattered alongside the prints. "I found something," Lancer called his students over. He began to follow the trail of prints, his class following him.
After a few minutes of pushing through leaves and branches, Lancer stepped into a clearing.
And couldn't believe what he saw.
Danny Fenton was propped up against a tree, unconscious. One hand was over his other arm, the arm absolutely covered in green and red liquids. His clothes were ripped and torn, and he looked as through he wasn't in pain at all.
Lancer knelt beside the boy, and carefully looked him over. Then he froze.
"Someone needs to go see if there are any phones right now," he ordered, placing a hand on Danny's chest.
Three kids sprinted into the forest, heading for the beach.
Lancer couldn't lose anyone.
Danny wasn't breathing, and as Lancer rested his hands on his chest, the adult realized that the boy was literally radiating cold. "No!" Someone whispered.
He moved to find Danny's pulse at his neck.
Nothing.
No pulse at his wrists, or neck, or at his chest.
Lancer sat back, head in his hands.
The class lowered their heads in silence.
...
A branch suddenly snapped as the three students were racing back with a strange silver and green backpack.
And the boy beneath Lancer moved.
In a flash, Danny was flipping out of his position on the ground and into a fighting stance, fists up and eyes cold. His arm seemed to be fine, even with all of the blood and green stuff dripping from it.
The class was frozen, barely daring to move as Lancer was left sprawled on the ground.
Danny must've realized something because he relaxed, even blushing a bit. "Uh, sorry guys," he mumbled, doing that thing where he rubs his neck. "Didn't mean to scare you."
Lancer's jaw dropped. "Daniel Fenton!" The boy jerked his head towards him. "You. Were. Dead!"
Danny flushed bright red, and the class swore they saw a hint of green in his cheeks. "Um, sorry?"
The three people who had come back with the green and silver bag finally exited the woods fully. Danny's eyes shot to the bag. "That's mine!"
Dash Baxter rolled his eyes. "Fine, Fenturd. Take your dumb bag." He tossed it to the kid, quite weakly, as the bag seemed to have been filled with bricks.
But Danny caught it easily with one hand and was kneeling to unzip it soon after. He yanked out a huge first aid kit, setting it on the ground and popping it open.
In moments, Danny was cleaning his arm off with gauze. The class could clearly see a depleted supply of bandages, leaving them with no question who had bandaged them before they woke.
But when Danny was done cleaning the red and green off his arm, there was no wound.
As the class watched, Danny winced, and glared at his other arm. He muttered something, grabbed his shoulder, and popped it back into place. The class shuddered at the sound, but saw Danny easily rotating his arm within seconds. Then he was taking two needles out of his first aid kit. They were filled with glowing green liquid, almost the same shade as the other green stuff that Danny had had on him.
Before their eyes, Danny jabbed one needle into his right wrist, injecting the green liquid into his veins, and the other needle into his left. He emptied the needles and replaced everything into his first aid kit.
Then he looked up to see that every person there was watching him. Danny turned red, with a hint of green - Lancer swore the kid was turning into a Christmas decoration.
Danny managed a smile. "Anyone else need any help?"
Silence. Finally, Paulina limped forward with tears in her eyes. "My leg," she whimpered.
Danny blinked, muttered something like "must've missed that," and nodded to Paulina. "Sit down if you can. This'll hurt, but it'll be healed faster if you let me do this." His blue eyes searched hers until she nodded, biting his lip.
Danny bent over his leg, carefully prodding it. The scrawny boy was completely focused on his task, already pulling out bandages, gauze and medicinal tape.
He closed his eyes, one hand on either side of Paulina's leg. She gasped, and suddenly frost crept across her leg.
"Someone get me two straight branches, no twigs or leaves, preferably with no splinters," Danny ordered. The class jumped, and began to search for the requested items. When they were found, Danny accepted them, but one was twice as thick and as long as the other.
They all expected him to ask for another but instead he took the bigger stick and snapped it easily with one hand. He then stripped the bark off and it was about the same size as the first branch.
Danny placed the branched alongside Paulina's leg, and began to wrap them. He finished the splint and suddenly frost crept across it again as he helped Paulina stand.
There was no doubt as to who had bandaged their wounds.
...
(3rd person POV cuz I'm lazy)
...
As Danny shoved his first aid kit into his bag, he pulled out the other contents-
"You brought ghost weapons?" Mikey asked in shock.
The kid blinked. "Yeah..?"
Lancer frowned. "All weapons, ghostly or otherwise, would have been detected by the security at the airport."
Danny seemed nervous all of a sudden. "Uhm.." He was very occupied in clipping a green earpiece to his ear. And with the Fenton Thermos to his belt. And the wrist blaster and - How did he got all of that into a backpack?!
Fenton stood, and he glanced up towards the sky. "C'mon. It's going to be dark soon and we need a shelter." He slung his bag over his previously injured shoulder, and headed for the beach.
Sputtering, Lancer rushed after him.
...
(3rd person POV to Dash 3rd person POV)
Danny was already dragging bags away from the water by the time the students caught up to him. He stacked them easily, then dropped his own bag.
Lancer stared at the boy. He'd never seen Danny be so productive in his entire years of teaching the kid. Allowing the boy to take charge was obviously something Lancer needed to do. "Alright. Danny, I'll be organizing a way to contact someone for help. How about you split us up into groups and give us tasks?"
The pale kid looked shocked. "Me?" He closed his eyes, and when he reopened them, they almost seemed a bit green-blue more than icy blue. Lancer shook it off and headed for his own satchel.
Immediately, Danny took charge. "First priority is shelter. Dash, Kwan, and Ryan, you and I will go collect branches, stones, vines - anything to help build a shelter. Paulina, Star and Julie, you three are in charge of sorting materials once they get back. Mikey, Jim and Mars, how about you three find a place to begin building. Try to find a space with multiple trees around it, and away from any plants or animals that look dangerous." Danny clearly knew what they could do, as he placed them in groups that would allow them to use those strengths to their advantages. "I'm placing Paulina and Mikey in charge of their groups. You guys come with me to Lancer, I'm giving you a Phan- a Fenton Phone so we can communicate." Danny already had three green earpieces out to give to Lancer, Mikey and Paulina. He helped the two students put them on, and showed them how they worked. "If you find something dangerous or get attacked by anything or find anything you think I should know, let me know. I'll be there as fast as I can."
With only minimal grumbling, the students followed his requests and headed off to do their jobs. Danny dropped a Phantom Phone off for Lancer, then went to find the three A-listers he had put himself in a group with.
They were standing in a thicket of thin trees, debating on how they'd chop the trees down. Danny sighed and made his presence known. "You know these trees are too small and flimsy to build anything with?"
Dash jumped nearly a foot while Kwan and Ryan scrambled backwards. "Jesus, Fenton! Nearly gave me a heart attack!" Dash gasped.
The halfa grinned. "Sorry guys. Couldn't resist." He beckoned then towards him and began heading to the larger and thicker trees a hundred or so feet though the trees.
Kwan stared up at the huge trees. "I have no clue how you want us to get these down without a chainsaw."
With a wink, Danny placed a hand on a tree trunk. "That's why you guys won't be doing it."
He suddenly began scaling the tree, bounding from branch to branch as though he was barely touching the bark before launching himself higher. Dash's jaw dropped, watching the so-called freak finally reach a thick branch and sat down on it. "The hell, Fenton?!" He yelled.
Danny cackled from his position on the branch. "Watch out below!"
Danny literally punched the branch he was sitting on. A crack rang out, and the branch split from the tree. Danny didn't even bother to move, just held onto the branch with only his legs, laughing.
The jocks screamed, backpedaling as fast as they could. Danny was going to die, oh god, no he couldn't- Dash panicked.
Fenton's hand shot out and he grabbed a passing branch. He swung around it and landed with a flip on top of it. The branch he had just been sitting on moments before hit the ground with a hard thump.
The jocks stared at the grinning teenager who was perched high above their heads.
"FENTON I SWEAR TO GOD YOU ARE GOING TO END UP KILLING YOURSELF!" Ryan finally bellowed.
And to that, Danny merely shrugged and proceeded to punch the next branch.
...
After Danny somehow managed to strip a tree of its branches and nearly gave Dash, Ryan and Kwan a total of seventeen heart attacks from his antics in the tree, he landed on the ground with mischief twinkling in his blue eyes. "Come on, guys. I'm not that stupid to die multiple times."
Dash frowned. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?!"
Danny merely danced away from the A-listers, laughing his ass off.
...
Eventually they headed back towards the location that Mikey had informed they had found a place for a shelter through the Phantom Phones. Dash, Kwan and Ryan were muttering curses under their breaths as they carried piles of rocks, vines and leaves in their arms, respectively, while FREAKING FENTON CARRIED SIXTEEN TEN-FOOT LONG, TWO FOOT THICK BRANCHES. The scrawny kid had eight on each shoulder, carrying them like he had a feather in each hand.
When they emerged from the trees into the clearing the nerds had found, everyone's jaws hit the floor as Fenton walked over with at least three hundred pounds of tree branches on his shoulders. He casually set them down and stifled a laugh at his classmates' shocked looks.
Fenton started talking to Mikey and his team about the plan they'd created for their shelter.
When the plan was finalized, the girls and nerds began sorting through suitcases with Lancer while Danny and the jocks began building their shelter. Soon the three A-listers were drenched in sweat from moving three branches, and yet Danny was moving three times as much and wasn't even out of breath. They finished sorting materials and Danny moved to a single thick tree on the edge of the clearing.
"Fenton-" Dash started to warn, but then the kid went and hugged the tree.
His arms hooked around it and as everyone stared, he dug his fingers into the bark and strained.
The tree creaked and gave way as Danny Fenton literally ripped a tree out of the ground and moved it twenty feet over to slam it into the ground, driving it five feet into the dirt.
Everyone flipped their shit while Danny calmly began building their shelter like he was playing with Lincoln Logs instead of actual branches and trees.
...
(Dash 3rd person POV to general 3rd person POV)
...
Halfway in, Dash relented and began helping Danny. The jock yanked his shirt off along with Ryan and Kwan and began trying to help Fenton.
After a moment of consideration, Danny took his baggy shirt off too, revealing the muscles and abs of the formerly scrawny nerd. Sure, everyone stared at his surprisingly jacked torso, but they also were staring at the few - no, that didn't describe it. Fenton was covered in dozens of scars, from silvery-pink to actually less than a day old and bleeding. As the kid ignored the staring, and turned to climb up the tree he had moved, they nearly cried out as they spotted the huge slash that ripped across his back, held together by weird glowing stitches, and scabbed over with blood and that strange green substance.
He scrambled up about ten feet before he stopped, and balanced on a tiny little branch that shouldn't have been able to hold a bird, let alone him, but he didn't even wobble as he crouched. "You guys gonna help or what?" He called, raven-black hair shining in the sunlight that flickered through the leaves.
Finally, Ryan moved, and with the help of Kwan, he leaned one of the ten-foot branches against the tree. Danny grabbed hold of the end and held it against the tree. He paused, looking like he was gonna slap himself in the face, before Dash realized what he forgot. The jock picked up a length of vine and chucked it at Fenton, who didn't even flinch as he caught it with one hand and began tying the branch to the trunk, hands flying over the knots as he wove them.
Slowly but surely, the shelter came together. The jocks leaned the other fifteen branches against the trunk one by one, while they took turns throwing Fenton lengths of vine to secure the branches. He finished the last one and glanced up at the rest of the thirty-foot tall tree.
"Fenton, don't you dare!" One of the jocks growled as Danny glanced over his shoulder, that mischevious grin and twinkle in his eyes back again. And then he was ten feet higher, climbing to the very top of the tree where only the thinnest branches remained.
The leaves shook as he pushed through them and disappeared from the classes' view. Even Lancer stopped fiddling with his phone and watched the slightly rustling leaves.
Then Danny called down, releasing a sigh of relief from everyone. "Hey, guys! I can see the rest of the island! There's a beach all around and a river and a field that goes to a small mountain and then this forest and SHITSHITSHIT-"
Something heavy hit the leaves and plummeted through them, and all of a sudden Paulina screamed as Danny slipped through and fell-
He hit the ground flat on his back, with a sickening thud. A moment of silence, then the class began to scream.
"GET THE FIRST AID KIT!" Lancer cried. He rushed over to Danny's limp form, feeling for broken limb. He didn't find one, but when he felt the boy's wrist, his eyes widened.
No pulse.
Lancer pressed his fingers against the boy's neck.
No pulse.
He put a palm against Danny's chest.
No heartbeat.
No rising and falling of his chest to let them know that he was breathing.
No twitch to let them know he was alive.
Tears began to gather in everyone's eyes. Even the A-listers, who had begun to like their former victum.
Just as their tears began to fall freely, Danny jackknifed to a sitting position. "Wha- oh. Shit. Sorry, guys, didn't mean to scare you again." Lancer let out an ear-piercing shriek that made Danny gasp in pain and clamp his hands over his ears. "JESUS, OW!" Danny yelled.
All the kids gasped out their held breath. "FENTON WHAT THE EVER-LIVING FUCK?!" Mars screeched.
Danny winced. "Could'ja maybe stop screaming? Kinda hurts me." When they stopped, he let his hands fall to his lap. "Sorry. Didn't mean to make you guys think I died." He muttered something under his breath that no one caught.
"Y-you had no pulse! And you weren't breathing!" Star sobbed.
The kid nodded as he pulled himself to his feet. "Yeeeaaaaaah... that happens sometimes." He then grabbed an armful of sticks and began to climb the tree again.
A hand grabbed his shoulder and spun him around. Danny found himself looking directly into the eyes of Dash. "Fenton, sit your ass back down and tell us why you're super strong and you have all those wounds and how you know how to take care of wounds and how you've essentially died twice but you're still here now?!" Dash was out of breath, but he didn't release his hold on the smaller boy's shoulder. He just grabbed both of Danny's shoulders and refused to let go.
Danny let a sad smile touch his mouth. "Some secrets are better off unsaid," he said quietly, and then somehow Dash's hands were empty and Danny was clambering up the tree again. The class stared at each other, eyes wide.
Something was... weird, about Danny Fenton.
...(a/n ~ ooooooohhhh spoopy time skip oooooooooh also PHANTOM 3RD PERSON POV FINALLY)
The sun set, leaving only Danny able to see. He hid this fact though, realizing that he'd already revealed too much about himself that day. The night air was hot and sticky, and as Danny crawled into their shelter, he realized his ice core would come in handy. Everyone dropped to the sandy ground and claimed a spot to sleep.
Save for Danny.
He waited until he was sure everyone was asleep, then let his abilities surface. Cold air filled the shelter as Danny lifted off the ground, floating about a foot over everyone, and carefully maneuvered himself out the door of their shelter. Landing against the base of a nearby tree, the halfa sighed.
Something about the island was manipulating his powers. They were starting to show up more and more in human form and were becoming so much more stronger. He didn't know how to stop their appearance, so he resolved to deal it as he crossed that bridge.
...
Danny rummaged through his bag again. He laid everything out for the third time that night and went through his mental checklist.
First aid kit? Check.
13 wrist blasters? Check.
Three extra Phantom Phones? Check.
Five Fenton Thermoses? Check.
He packed it all up again and leaned against the tree. If only he could teleport them all home. But even Plasmius wasn't that strong yet.
...
A/N: And there's Day 1 on Spook Island!
Yeah yeah, awful name I know, but oops I'm too lazy to look up a cool name.
So how do you like it? Danny's revealed that he's freakishly strong, he knows medicine, he knows survival junk, he has died about twice (technically more in my eyes) but he's not really cuz he just comes back to life, he sometimes blushes green, he has weird green stuff whenever he bleeds, he has a metric fuck-ton of scars and injuries, and he's super good at being mischevious when he's not at school.
At least they haven't seen him fly. Or fall through a wall. Or blow shit up.
But that's all coming later. I'll post another chapter tomorrow or Friday depending on how fast I have another written. I have day 2 mostly finished, but I'm going to wait until I have a chapter ready ahead of time before I post.
I know I talk a lot lol.
Some character may be that's because this isn't freshman year anymore. It's junior year, and people change all the time. Who's to say Dash and Kwan are still bullies or that Danny isn't a prankster?
Feel free to leave any reviews and I would love to see people following! If you want me to update faster then follows, favorites and reviews are my fuel.
And since I haven't posted in a long time, feel free to leave flames if you find something wrong. Typos, yeah I know I posted this quick so I wouldn't forget, but plot holes are all going to be explained eventually. Just be warned, if you flame me I'll flame you right back, unless you're nice about it or I'm too lazy to do anything about it.
Bye! 3
