"Uhh!" Danny groaned. He put a hand to his head as he woke up with a pounding headache, "What happened?" he asked himself.

Danny slowly opened his eyes, but he couldn't see a thing. The room he woke up in was so dark, that he couldn't even see his own hand in front of his face. "Where am I?" he asked with a sudden shiver. Danny crossed his arms around his chest, "And why is it so cold?"

Danny thought hard as memories of the last night began to flood through his mind. He remembered patrolling the streets with Sam and Tucker, Sam getting angry at Tucker for jinxing Danny's luck, him promising Sam that he would be fine. Then he remembered his mysterious attacker.

"I was attacked!" He exclaimed in a panicked tone. "But by who?"

He started thinking through the entire incident. He remembered the voice his attacker had. It didn't sound like anyone he would have known, but then again, it was so quiet that it very well may have been for all he knew.

He then started thinking about how his attacker was able to take him down so easily. "Whoever it was, they simply hit me across the head and I was out like a light!" Danny shivered again, but continued on, "It was like I just let them defeat me, and with such ease! How could I have ever let that happen?" He thought aloud a little bit more, "But I was in human form when I was attacked… but that's still no excuse! I promised Sam that I would be fine!"

It was at that very moment that it chimed on him like a church bell, "Sam! Oh my gosh, I promised her that I would be fine. Oh man, what is she going to think? I got to get out of here!"

Danny started to get up. He was going to try to find a light switch, then find the one who brought him here in the first place and kick their but like there ain't no tomorrow! But he barely got his head and shoulders up off the ground, when he hit his head on something. It felt hard and flat, kind of like a ceiling.

"A ceiling? But - this close to the floor?" Danny pondered this for a while. Finally coming to the conclusion that that couldn't be possible, he wondered, "Maybe I'm just under a table or something."

He started to scoot himself out from under the "table" when he felt a wall. Danny was starting to get worried. "The table must be up against a wall." He tried telling himself, fear evident in his voice. Then he tried scooting himself out from the other side… another wall.

Now Danny was scared. He started panicking. "I don't think I'm under a table anymore! What's going on here? Where am I? I got to see what's going on!"

"Goin' Ghost!" Shouting out his famous battle cry, Danny closed his eyes and let the two rings form around his waist, and transform him into Danny Phantom. Raising his arm, he formed an ecto-ray around his hand, and used it to light up the room.

As the light of the ecto-ray filled up all the corners of the room, the first thing Danny realized was that he was inside something that was much too small to be a room. He seemed to be more-so in a giant rectangular box. This alone freaked Danny out. Then he took in all the details of the inside, and noticed that this box was actually something much more terrifying than even he could have ever possibly imagined…

Danny was inside a coffin!

"I'M BEING BURIED ALIVE!" Danny screamed in absolute terror; the full realization of his situation finally sinking in, "But who could have - how did they - and why me!" Danny panicked.

After a while of hyperventilating, Danny finally took a few deep breaths. "O.K. Danny, just think. How are you going to get out of this?" Danny said with a shiver, the cold getting to him again.

He suddenly smacked his forehead, as realization once again came at him like a ton of bricks, "Duh, ghost powers! I can just phase out of this!" Turning intangible, he started to fly out. But as he hit the top of the coffin, it started to glow green before electrocuting him, forcing him to turn back into his human form.

"WHOA! Ghost-proof coffin?" Danny started panicking again. "Oh my gosh! I have no way out! Nobody knows that I'm down here!" Finally, Danny finished off his little panick attack with the words he dreaded to say the most.

"I'm really going to die in here!"
