Chapter 1: Of Devils and Ghost

Danny Fenton was your average 15 year old, well as average as being a half ghost superhero can be. Danny got average grades, went to school like everyone and went to school like everyone. Since the faithful day he got his ghost powers he's fought a box obsessed ghost, a ghost king bent on ruling the world, an evil version of him from the future, and a plant ghost that wanted to repopulate the earth with his plant children.

Today was just another day in Amity Park especially at Casper High; Danny had just been stuffed in a locker by Dash the jock that regularly picked on him. Sam Manson Danny's female Goth friend walked up to the locker he was at "you ok Danny?" she said slightly worried "yeah just had to wait a bit before I got out" he said as a slightly invisible hand phased through the locker and opened it "see and like that I'm out and ok" Danny said with a smile a knock was heard coming out the locker next to the one Danny was stuffed in.

"Hey guys a little help here" Tucker said with a cry in his voice, Danny opened the locker and Tucker came falling out with a yell "thanks dude, but next time a little warning" Tucker said as he stretched from his abrupt fall. The bell for home room rang and everyone rushed out of the halls into the class Sam, Danny, and Tucker were just about to run to class when they were stopped by Mr. Lancer their middle aged out of shape teacher "Mr. Fenton, Mr. Foley, and Ms. Manson be sure to get to class on time especially you Mr. Fenton" The man looked at Danny intently while the young man seemed to shrink in place. "Yes Mr. Lancer" all three said while running to their home room. Everyone sat in home room talking amongst themselves

"Class, class" Mr. Lancer said trying to get their attention. Everyone pried from their individual conversations to look up at him "Class we have a new student his name is Dante and he's new to town so give him a big Casper High welcome" the class only stared at the new kid he had regular jeans on, a gray shirt, had a Caucasian with a slight tan, he wore a black jacket with a red inside, his hair was black with patches of white making it look like a bad dye job.

Comments on the new kid ranged from 'cute' to 'freak' everyone gave their own their own 2 cents here and there. "He kinda of reminds me of an emo punk rock star" Danny said watching the boy only half interested and half focused. "I don't know he kinda looks cool to me, what do you think Sam?" Tucker said looking at the new kid as if he were a celebrity "I guess he kinda looks cool, if your into emo guys who look like they frequently" Sam said barely paying attention to what's going on around her.

"Class does anyone have any questions for our new student" many people raised their hands Dante choose one of them "yeah you with the blond hair" Dash stood up "you into sports" the blond asked with a lot of confidence while punching his fist into his other hand as if competing for the classes attention while trying to intimidate Dante.

Dante rolled his eyes caring less about the blonds showing off "Nah I don't, last thing I wanna do is spend my time getting tackled by a bunch of sweaty jocks" Dante said nonchalantly not caring to even look at the blond who was brimming with anger. "Now that was funny" Danny said with a chuckle "yeah I guess" Sam said with a smirk on her face. "So how about you Spanish chick in the back" everyone in the class looked at him with a confused look like he was either crazy or stupid "first off my name's Paulina, and second where did you move from" Paulina ask rolling her eyes at the way Dante used to point her out to the class.

"Limbo city" Dante said with in a serious tone. Everyone started to whisper Limbo city had as many rumors as Amity Park many rumors on the internet and urban legends said that demons were in Limbo City but none of it was ever proven. Though there have been many missing person's reports and mysterious property damages that had unexplained causes but were ruled as technical failures and juveniles running away from home.

Mr. Lancer wanting to quiet down the class decided to end the Q and A session "ok class that's enough questions Mr. Dante if you would please take a seat next to Mr. Fenton over there" Danny raised his hand to show himself and Dante sat next to him.

The bell rang to signal the end of home room and everyone got up and proceeded to move to their next class. Danny got up and started to walk to gym along with Tucker and Sam' he walked down the hall until his ghost sense went off he looked around looking for the ghost

"I am the box ghost beware" Danny heard the familiar sound of his most annoying foe. Dante was walking down the hall looking for his class when he saw people running the opposite way "ahh ghost" one random passerby "ghost huh?"

Dante said as he continued to walk down the hall way he was about to turn the corner he saw Danny. Danny looked at the box obsessed ghost "I'm going ghost" Danny yelled his battle cry as two white rings appeared at his waist and separated.

His hair was now snow white, his former blues eyes turned into a glowing green, his white shirt with red oval on it and blue jeans were replaced with a black and white hazmat suit with a 'DP' on the chest. Danny's hands started to glow green as he shot his ghost ray at the box ghost "how many times to do I have to kick your but till you stop coming back" Danny said being annoyed at the ghost constant return to disturb his peaceful life.

He shot another ghost ray slamming the ghost into a wall he took out his Fenton thermos and sucked up the box ghost. "Whew now that, that's out of the way lets head to the gym". Dante was still looking from around the corner "so that's the ghost boy and he just happens to be Danny Fenton".

Lunch time rolled around and everyone sat at their own table the popular kids sat at the popular 'popular table'. Danny and his friends sat at their usual table which was just the three of them because being 'losers' basically made them socially invisible. Sam's lunch was mostly made up of fruits and vegetables, while Tucker's lunch was mostly made up of various meats.

The two had usually fought on their respective taste much to Danny's annoyance "so that new kids seems pretty weird I mean he talks like he thinks he James Bond or something and did you see his hair looks like some do it yourself dye job that went horribly wrong" Sam said with her usual nonchalant tone but her face serious. "I don't know he's got guts especially to talk to Paulina like that, hey Danny maybe you should ask him for lessons"

Danny looked at Tucker with a serious look on his face "yeah take lessons from the guy who looks like he should be cutting himself while writing emo lyrics for his emocore band " Danny quipped his serious face now turning into a smile. "That's pretty funny that's time I've ever heard that" Danny froze how did the boy sneak up on him.

Dante sat down at the table right next to Danny laughing at his joke "Danny Fenton right?" Dante said his hand extended waiting for Danny to shake it. "Yea that's me" Danny shook his hand nervously.

"I've heard a lot about you from other people", "good things I hope" Danny quipped with a sarcastic grin on his face, he knew full well what people thought of him "well mostly that you're a loser, with freaky friends" "hey" Sam and Tucker interrupted feeling slightly "…weird ghost hunting parents and a hot sister" "hey" Danny said about the insult to his family.

"Hey don't get mad at me that was just what people told me" Danny relaxed a bit and gave a friendly smile try to lighten the tension. "Since I'm new and all I was wondering if you can show me around town things are a lot different here then Limbo city" Danny looked at him for a second before giving his reply "yeah sure no problem this town is said to have a lot of ghost activity" Dante looked at Danny and made a knowing grin. "Ghost huh well then let's hope the ghost boy comes to our rescue then"

Danny cringed for a second at the mention of his alter ego "hey how do you know about the ghost boy" Danny asked becoming slightly untrusting of the new kid "well he's the talk of the town and a superhero too, think he needs a sidekick" Dante said with a large smile on his face, Danny looking at the boy couldn't help but smile the mistrust that filled his mind now completely gone. "I'll wait for you outside the school and then you could give me that tour."

Dante left the lunch room on his way the three friends staring at his back as he left "see what I told you guys cool" Tucker said breaking the silence between them. "Whatever he's still a weirdo" Sam said still not changing her outlook on the new kid. ""what do you think Danny?" Tucker looked at his best friend hoping for an answer "I don't know something about him seems different like he's not quite normal.

The final bell rang to signal the ending of the school day Danny, Sam and Tucker were waiting outside the school for Dante "so where is he?" "I don't know Sam maybe he's running late or something" Danny said looking around for any sign of Dante. From the school entrance Dante was seen coming out of them he had a now habit smug grin on his face.

"Sorry I'm late had to teach a blond quarter back a lesson" "It's fine you're not that late' ready to go guy's" Danny looked at everyone with a smile "sorry Danny gotta get home to do some stuff" "same here dude gotta take care of some work at my house" Tucker looked at Sam and they started walking off towards their houses. "Well guess it's just you and me which means I'll be giving you the tour alone" Danny said looking at Dante with a neutral expression. "Yeah guess it is just you and me hope I'll see some fun spots.

The two teens walked off towards the downtown area, after about 3 hours the teens had stopped by the bowling alley "ok I get the bowling alley and I get the junk yard, but why is a burger joint called the Nasty Burger" Dante face palmed seeing at the memory of seeing the establishment "yeah they make pretty good burgers" Danny looked at him laughing at Dante reaction "kid your stomach must be made out of iron if you can stand eating out of a place that's called Nasty Burger." Dante and Danny laughed as if they were two friends who were reconnecting.

"So what do you think of Amity Park?" Danny stopped laughing to ask the question "its ok tons better then Limbo city a bit too quiet for my taste but I guess I can deal with it" Dante said looking off in the distance watching the sunset. "Hey are the rumors about limbo city true?" Danny looked at Dante hoping for an answer "No their not true" Dante said his smiling face now serious as if he remembered something he didn't want to.

"We should head home before the sun goes down" Dante said before he started walking away from the bowling alley. "Het wait up don't just go walking off like that" Danny said with a concern in his voice "I mean you could get…" Danny was interrupted by a cold breath that came from his mouth. He stopped to look around for any signs of a ghost.

Skulker appeared flying through the sky looking for the ghost boy to hunt for sport and 'hang the ghost boy's pelt on his wall' Danny saw the hunter ghost and ran off to find a nearby alley. Dante spotted the ghost then looked back to look for Danny, but he was gone "where did he…" Dante stopped knowing full well what Danny was going to do.

Danny ran into a nearby alley he looked around making sure no one was there "I'm going ghost" Danny shouted his battle cry then two white rings formed at his waist then moved in opposite directions transforming him into his super powered alter ego. Danny quickly flew off to meet the hunter "hey Skulker didn't you get the memo hunting seasons over" Danny quipped trying to enrage Skulker.

"The hunt never ends ghost child especially for a prey as valuable as you" Skulker said a smile on his face. He began the fight by launching rockets at Danny. Danny responded by blasting them with his ghost ray unfortunately he didn't shoot fast enough blow up all the rockets because some of them managed to hit him, He went crashing towards the ground but was able to stop himself at the last minute. "Whoa that was pretty fast I better keep focused" Danny said to himself flying towards Skulker who shot more missiles at him.

"You like the upgrades ghost child" masters made them especially for beating you" Skulker said switching from rocket launchers to a net launcher. "Whatever your still nothing without that suit" Danny said as he blasted the incoming missiles and turning intangible for the missiles that he didn't hit. Danny was closing in on Skulker when he was ensnared by a net and plummeted to the ground. He hit the ground hard if it wasn't for his ghost strength that might have seriously hurt him. "Don't even try to phase through it, it's made of a special material that neutralizes your powers and nothing short of a sword will cut it" Skulker laughed he had finally captured his prey and now he was about to finish the hunt.

A large dagger came out of Skulker's forearm he was prepared to stab Danny. Suddenly all the color around in the world seemed to go black and white as if the color was bleached out, Skulker began to float in the air out of his own control. "What's going on how are you doing this ghost child" Skulker was flailing about in the air trying to regain control but it was no use. Danny could only look on trapped under the net trying to think of a way to escape.

While Skulker was floating in the air a grappling hook like device attached to him and a figure was pulled towards Skulker. The mysterious figure using a scythe cut if the arm that had Skulker's dagger and both of his legs. The two of them started to descend Skulker landing harder than the other figure. Danny looked at the figure, which was slowly approaching him he began to feel scared as the man slowly walked closer and closer until the man stopped in front of him. The man looked at Danny and Danny looked at the man now seeing is full features, the man had white hair, glowing red eyes with red veins emanating from them, he wore a red jacket but it looked like the color was bleeding off of it, He wore normal blue jeans and a gray shirt.

Danny looked at the figure he looked like Dante but his presence was inhuman. "Who are you?" The white haired man look at Danny he raised his sword and cut the net Danny was trapped in. The color around them seemed to come back and the white haired man's features seemed to change as well revealing the person who saved Danny was indeed Dante. Skulker was try to use his remaining arm to pick himself up and fly away "excuse me for a minute Dante said as he ran after Skulker using his sword to pin Skulker to the ground through the Techno ghost chest "You're not going anywhere" Dante then removed his sword and cut Skulker's head off Seeing his chance Danny took out his Fenton thermos and sucked up the tiny ghost inside Skulker.

Danny looked at Dante for a minute slightly in shock at the teen saving him and at the display of power he showed in beating Skulker "Thank you citizen" Danny said trying to make his voice sound deep and heroic as possible. "Yeah sure it looked like you were getting your ass kicked" Danny cringed at the sound of that "well it's just another day for Danny Phantom" Danny said still trying to fool Dante. Before Dante could respond Danny flew off leaving the teen there looking on as he flew off.
