"I'm goin' ghost!!" warned the raven-haired hero as he dove behind a set of dumpsters next to the Nasty Burger. Danny Fenton was, once again, transforming into his Phantom form. His dark hair switched to a bright ivory as his sapphire eyes quickly were covered by a ghoul-like green. The normal attire of the day was fully enveloped by his signature monochrome body suit, the logo on his chest flashing when the changeover was completed. Sam and Tucker, his "sidekicks," were close behind the Phantom when he shot into the sky.
"Which of our ghostly enemies are you kicking today? Is it Ember? Or Technus? Maybe it's Skulker?" Tucker continued his annoyingly long list of names.
Fortunately for the others, Sam made an interrupting threat, "How about you shut up before I generously apply an axe to your forehead?"
The Phantom smirked as Tucker looked down to protect himself from the Gothic teen.
"Well, I don't see anything around, but my Ghost Sense wouldn't lie…" He continued scanning the air, only to find the surrounding apartments and a clear sky.
The Phantom flew himself in front of the two and remarked, "It was probably 'The Box Ghost' that ran away on us," while mimicking the Box Ghost's tone when announcing his name. Laughter struck the trio as they turned to make their way back to Fenton Works, only to be stopped by the drumming of thunder.
The skies soon bruised to a deep hue of violet with dark clouds hanging low. The earth shook beneath them as the road began the produce huge, gaping cracks, spewing steam from within. A terrible hissing noise sounded from the openings.
"Is this an earthquake?!!" yelled Sam and Tucker in unison, their voices shaking with fear. A cloud of smoke from the cracks began swirling to form into a solid figure in front of the Phantom. The figure was an armored fiend with a toned and chiseled face; those scarlet eyes glaring at the Phantom. His armor was a striking royal purple with a golden trim and the hilt of his sword was adorned with precious stones. Danny Phantom readied himself for an attack when the ghostly enemy spoke:
"I, Xanthon, have been requested by the lord of the Thorn Kingdom to require all ghostly beings to congregate at the castle immediately," announced Xanthon.
The Phantom quickly retorted, "Sorry, but you can't force me to go to some crazy kingdom without a better explanation than that, you medieval freak." With that said, he shot out his Ghost Ray toward Xanthon. The armor-clad villain dodged the green energy and pulled out the jewel-encrusted sword from its sheath.
"You cannot possibly defeat me so easily, halfa." Xanthon growled as he sank the sword into the shattering pavement with a thunder clap. Ghostly aura formed around the iron blade and quickly shot a large ray of ectoplasmic power into the air. "What are you doing?!!" questioned Danny before the aura surrounded him and the others.
Xanthon snorted and replied, "A little transportation to quicken the pace and to save myself some insolence."
"What does he mean?" yelled out Tucker as the earth began to produce shooting steam geysers. Silence broke out when the enigmatic force formed a dome over the four and, with a flash of light, sent them into the Ghost Zone. There laid a ruined street riddled with chunks of rock and debris from the invasion. Danny, Sam, and Tucker have left, unwillingly, with Xanthon to figure out what the lord of the Thorn Kingdom wishes.
