Chapter 8:
Out of the Darkness
Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom.
When the floor fell below him, Danny was sent down what seemed like a spiral tube. He spun around in different directions as he waited for his impending doom.
"Ouch!" He yelled as his butt hit a rocky surface. "What the heck?" Danny yelled as he took in his surroundings. He was in the Ghost Zone. "How did I get here?"
Danny looked down and noticed that he was not in his ghost form. "I am completely lost." He stated out loud. No one, however, was listening.
Then a bright blue light appeared next to him. It was so beautiful, almost like the one that he saw when he was in the darkness. Danny could feel the light calling him, so this time, he listened. He walked towards the light, not caring what kind of fate would meet him on the other side.
Danny stuck his hand in the light; everything felt so good and right inside the light.
Slowly, ever so slowly, Danny entered the light. It seemed that all his problems and worries disappeared as soon as he touched the wonderful light. Before he knew it, Danny had went through the light; he was know on the other side.
Danny stood in awe as he soaked in his surroundings. It was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. He was in what some might call a 'heaven'. Everything seemed so perfect here.
"All new arrivals to the admissions desk." A voice stated behind Danny, this scared the young halfa, who screamed as the mysterious man spoke.
"Wha-what?" Danny stuttered as he gained his bearings.
"All new arrivals to the admissions desk." The man repeated. He was a tall man wearing a white rob.
"Oh….where is here anyways?" Danny asked.
The man laughed and slapped Danny on the back. "Come on kid, don't tell me you have never wondered what was beyond the afterlife?" The man chuckled again as he pointed Danny in the direction of the admissions desk.
Danny entered a brick building were a white haired lady sat behind a huge wooden desk.
"Why hello there Danny Fenton. Welcome." The lady said with a huge smile.
"What's going on?" Danny said in a rather demanding voice. The lady smiled back at him.
"You defeated Erik. But, unfourtanely, you died in the process. So since you did good, you were sent here, instead of becoming a full ghost. Or in other words, you have no more unfinished business." The lady smiled again. "Don't worry about you town. It will be well protected."
"I don't want to die." Danny clearly stated.
"Sorry sweetie, that's not up to you." The lady stated.
"What am I supposed to do now?" Danny asked as tears started to tug at his eyes.
"I believe we may be of assistance." Danny spun around to see his grandparents, both sets, standing behind him. Danny smiled as he took one sets hands and they walked off into the wonderful word to which Danny now would live the rest of his days.
The service was quite lovely. The whole town must have shown up. Many didn't know that the boy they buried was Amity Park's very own hero. They just thought that he some random boy who was killed in some freak accident at the high school. But for a few they knew the truth, they knew that the boy they buried was really two different people. A hero known as Danny Phantom, and a regular freshmen named Danny Fenton.
His parents had taken him off of life support. He died shortly after. The doctors said it was a peaceful death.
Everyone was welcome to the memorial service, but only a select few were allowed to the actual burial. They were: Sam, Tucker, Valerie (and her father), Jazz, his parents, and Vlad. (Vlad had woken up in the Ghost Zone to find a pile of ash. The ash was Erik, who was destroyed by Danny. Yes, Danny destroyed Erik in his head when he fought him).
Daniel James Fenton
September 12, 1991 to May 23, 2006
A loving son, brother, friend, and hero
Many residents of Amity Park didn't get the last part of the boy's headstone. But they all are stupid, so no one will ever figure it out.
The Fenton's destroyed the Fenton Portal. They also stopped making ghost related inventions, and focused on regular inventions. They are doing quite nicely.
If a stray ghost happens to stop by Amity Park, a certain Ghost Hunter named Valerie will take care of them.
Vlad is much happier; he got a cat.
Sam and Tucker are doing just nicely. They both found out the joy of internet dating.
Jazz was accepted to Harvard Law School. She wants to make a Bill that will make it impossible for someone to take another person off of life support. She still isn't over her little brother's death.
Concluded.
Author's Note Thanks to all who reviewed. Please understand that my life is VERY hectic and I am surprised I was able to finish this story. Feel free to flame me for killing off Danny, but be remeber the I have not been in a good mood for the longest time and might not like it if you flame me. The ending sort of reflects my mood, so please take that into consideration when you review. I am not sure if I will continue writing. In all honesty I am losing my interest in Danny Phantom. But you never know when a good story will weasel its way into my head, and demand me to write it.
