The Halfa Prince (Book 1) *RE-MASTERED*

Chapter 1: An Unexpected Announcement

A/N: Hello everyone and welcome to the new (and hopefully improved) 'Halfa Prince. Now, the goal here is to not have a complete re-write. I want to combine chapters, fix grammar and spelling errors, change some plot details and so on and so forth. Thank you to everyone who has supported me through this. I hope you enjoy :)

Oh also, just to keep the plot similar, everything but Phantom Planet has happened in this book.

Third Person POV

In a small town not known by many, in a large building with a neon sign on the front of it, were three teens hiding in a laboratory-looking basement. A raven-haired boy sat on a stool while his gothic, violet-eyed friend bandaged his arm which had a rather large gash in it. Next to the boy was an African-American teen who was busily tapping away on his beloved PDA.

The raven haired boy hissed slightly as the bandages around his arm tightened. The girl looked up at her friend, her expression mixed between anger and worry. The boy smiled. "Don't worry Sam, it's just a scratch." He assured her.

The girl's, Sam's, expression immediately turned deadly serious. "A scratch?!" She half shouted, "Danny Fenton, you have a gash about the size of a ruler on your arm that required at least three stitches!" She sighed as she began packing up her first aid kit. "Forget studying Shakespeare, I'm up to my neck in medical books. I swear, at this rate I might as well consider pursing nursing as a future career."

The African-American boy chuckled. "As if you could treat anyone other than Danny. No offence Sam, but you're not exactly a people person."

Sam gained a devious grin on her face. "You have a point Tucker. Though your opinion about me treating other people might change once I make you one of my 'patients'." Same finished this statement by curling her right hand into a fist and punching it into her left palm.

Tucker yelped in fear and clutched his PDA close to his chest, scooting a safe distance away from Sam. "No thank you ma'am. I do not need a trip to the hospital." Suddenly, Tucker's PDA began to beep and he became engrossed in it again.

Danny smiled and sighed softly.It had been almost a year since the accident that caused ordinary Danny Fenton to turn into the hero known as Danny Phantom. Over the course of one year, Danny had mastered his powers quite well. He no longer went intangible accidentally, could create at least 4 to 5 successful duplicates of himself and his ice abilities had improved greatly. Not to mention all the ghost fighting had caused him to build a little muscle.

But he wasn't the only one of their friend group to have changed. Both Sam and Tucker had better strength, endurance and stamina. Both of his friends had slightly visible muscle tone on them, yes even including Tucker. The technogeek seemed to have built up a lot of his strength by lugging his beloved technology everywhere.

Danny was snapped out of his thoughts by Sam flicking his forehead. "Hey, don't zone out on me Ghost Boy. You're not out of trouble yet." The gothic teen did one final glance over the bandages on Danny's arm before she fully closed her first-aid kit. She then lectured him about remembering to change the bandages regularly. To Danny, it practically went in one ear and out the other.

"Man, this is getting weird." Tucker said aloud. Both Sam and Danny turned to their geeky friend. Tucker held up his PDA, showing graph on the screen with an arrow steadily rising on it. "I don't know how he's doing it, but Skulker keeps upgrading his tech every time you two fight. But there have been no robberies lately that would allow Skulker to improve his tech like this."

Danny slipped a sweatshirt over his head and closed his eyes. "Probably Plasmius. Skulker is his lap-dog after all." Danny rotated his arm a few times, testing the pain and sensitivity of his arm. Due to his advanced healing factor it wouldn't be long until his arm was back to normal but he still had to be careful with it. "He does Vlad a favor in return for upgrades."
