A/N:Okay, this idea is JUST begging to be written. I know that I write too many, but this one would not leave me alone! Basically, it's a crossover between...Batman Beyond and Danny Phantom. I don't think anyone has done this idea before...basically Vlad is friends with Bruce Wayne (neither of them know each others' identity, so you know), and he decides to ask the Fentons to move there, because lately Gotham has been having trouble with ghosts and the mysterious Batman. Terry notices a new kid named Danny Fenton. What's his secret and what's with the ghosts?


Chapter One: The beginning of it all

Fourteen-year old Danny Fenton blinked a few times and stared at his father like he was nuts. His older sister, Jazz, stared as well and actually stopped reading her psychology book. Both of them couldn't believe what they had just heard. The news was utterly shocking to both the teenage girl and the halfa.

"Dad, are you serious?" Danny asked nervously, wondering what on earth possessed his father to make something this sensational just as they were eating breakfast.

"Vladdy has invited us over to Gotham City. His old pal Bruce Wayne lives over there. He's heard about our ghostly exploits and is intrigued enough that he invited us over himself. Danny, haven't you heard of Wayne Enterprises before?"

Danny perked his head up. As a matter of fact, he had heard of that business before. Wayne...that name sounded familiar, he just couldn't recall where he'd heard it before. Then it hit him like a blow to the head. "Oh, Dad, you mean the Bruce Wayne, the millionaire playboy who has a huge mansion and lots of money just like-" Danny trailed off.

His sister shot him a knowing look. They both knew about Vlad Masters, Danny's worst foe, and the fact that he was inviting them over to a place they barely even knew smelled of only one thing: a trap. Danny wasn't surprised that his father would fall for Vlad's idea that fast; he had no idea that his best friend was actually obsessed with his wife and wanted to MURDER him to get to her and was actually an evil ghost.

Danny sighed. "So, we're visiting?" He said hopefully, praying that they would not say the words he did not want to hear.

"No, Danny, we're moving there! There are reports of ghost activity being sighted there recently and the citizens are in a panic! That's why Vladdy wants us to go there. Doesn't that sound exciting?"

Danny hit his forehead with his hand, inwardly cursing his supposed ESP, while Jazz's mouth dropped open.

"You mean...I'll say goodbye to all of my friends? What about my psychology lessons?" Jazz whined.

"Oh, relax, Jazz. It'll only be for a little while. It's not like we're leaving forever."

"Danny, we'll only be there for a year."

Danny's eyes widened. "What? What about Sam and Tucker?"

"You'll have to stay in touch, sweetie. Imagine how happy they would be to hear you've caught your very own ghost. Not only that, but you'll have met Bruce Wayne. He's a legend around Gotham."

"I heard he's a weird old coot." Jazz said slyly.

Danny raised an eyebrow. I wonder if old Mr. Wayne has some skeletons in his closet, like Vlad. Could he be a ghost, too? No, that's absurd. What's this feeling of dread I have in my stomach?

The halfa knew things were going to be different from now on. He would have to email Sam and Tucker frequently and tell them how things were going. Heaven help him if this old Mr. Wayne discovered he was half-ghost. If he was evil like Danny suspected, he might do unspeakable things to him. Danny knew his hobby of fighting ghosts would be even tougher in a city he knew absolutely nothing about.

"Come on, kids! This is going to be an adventure! There will be lots of fun things going on! You might even get to meet Batman!"

"Batman?" Danny spoke up in confusion.

"He's the crazy superhero around those parts, honey," Maddie said, "No one knows who he is."

"Batman, huh?" Danny trailed off.

"Anyway, we'll be moving in a few days." Jack said while whistling. "I can't wait to see Mr. Wayne! He'll love to hear me tell him stories about ghosts!"

Everyone groaned.

"I don't think so," Jazz whispered to Danny, who nodded furiously.

"Especially when there is one here," He said, pointing at himself. Jazz just nodded.

"Don't worry. Your secret will be safe."

Danny groaned as he prepared to go to school, knowing his friends would not be happy with this news. Nevertheless, he had to make the best of it. He'd get some ghost-hunting done there, too. He'd probably blend right in.


"Vlad Masters? I've heard of him," A black-haired boy with blue eyes said to Bruce Wayne as he sat in the Batcave. "Isn't he some rich billionaire?"

"We're old friends." Bruce said dryly. "We haven't talked much since the accident he had. Of course, he never knew I was Batman. The man's a genius, but I never really trusted him too well. There was just something about him I didn't understand."

The teenager, Terry McGinnis, chuckled. "You're always like that with people."

Bruce shot him a sharp glare.

"Continue on," Terry said nervously.

"He contacted me yesterday, saying he was bringing some old friends of his over from a town called Amity Park."

"Where's that, exactly?" The teenager asked, feeling a strange sense of curiosity come over him.

"It's in Illinois. Apparently, they've had trouble with "ghosts" or some such nonsense."

Terry chuckled again. "I take it you're not a believer, then?"

"Of course not. Ghosts are a myth, Terry. This family...I believe they have a son around your age. Maybe you two will get along."

Terry shrugged. "I'm practically an outcast at school. It'll probably be the same with this new kid, too."

"You never know, Terry." Bruce said dryly. Terry just shrugged again.

Danny sighed as his two best friends looked horrified.


"You're telling me you're leaving us behind for a whole year because your crazy parents are going to another city due to your arch nemesis inviting them there?" Sam said skeptically.

"More or less." Danny said sadly. He was not happy with this news, unlike his father. He had two of his best friends here and then he was going to leave them behind and go into a place full of strangers.

"No, you can't leave us, Danny!" Tucker moaned melodramatically. "Who'll catch the ghosts?"

"We will," Sam said assuredly. "We'll take care of things while you're gone. We can use the Fenton Thermos, right, Tucker?"

Tucker nodded. "Don't worry, Danny. We'll make sure the ghosts don't get out of control."

While they were at their locker, a familiar blond boy came stomping over to them. Danny groaned.

"Hey, Fentina, ready for your daily thrashing?" Dash Baxter threatened, cracking his knuckles together.

"Leave him alone, Dash." Sam said.

"As if!" Dash said. "Fentina needs to be put in his place."

The bell rang then, ending Dash's attempt at bullying, much to Danny's relief.

"I've got enough on my plate right now, Sam, Tucker. The last thing I need to do is to worry about Batman."


Terry looked at his friends. "There're some new kids coming here soon, I think. Friends of Mr. Wayne's."

Maxine looked interested. "What do they do?"

"Mr. Wayne told me their parents hunt ghosts. This should be interesting. I wonder if any of them believe in ghosts." Terry said in a bored voice.

"Ghosts are myths," Dana, his girlfriend said before brushing her black hair out of her face.

"I wonder about that." Terry said thoughtfully.

That night...


Terry noticed there was something odd with the town of Gotham right now. The normal criminals weren't showing up as much as they used to. It felt like something was wrong. A cold chill came over him then.

He saw a ghost...an actual ghost, floating in front of him. It had blue skin and red eyes.

"I am the BOX ghost." It said in a supposedly creepy voice.

Terry rolled his eyes. "If this is a ghost, I'm not impressed." He started to fly away from the thing, but was not expecting the creature to attack him. Every time Terry tried to attack, his attacks just passed right through the ghost, much to his annoyance.

Terry wound up losing the fight, much to his disbelief. "I can't believe I lost against a ghost," He said, feeling incredulous at this whole turn of events.


So Danny and his family packed up their things and left to go to Gotham City. Danny was bored on the entire trip there because Jack kept on telling them about his latest ghost invention, something Danny really didn't want to know, considering he was part ghost himself.

He wondered what surprises awaited him here.

First chapter is done! Tell me what you think! I've watched most of the DP and Batman Beyond episodes, so I think I know the characters pretty well. It's just I've never really bothered to write a DP fanfic besides the only other one on my account, which is a cracky story. I guess I think my DP stories won't be any good, but hey, this one grabbed me and wouldn't let go. Go ahead and drop a review, too.
