Chapter 1

The Return

"What you gonna do now Phantom?! You're outnumbered, outmatched, and I have your friends as ransom! So don't try any tricks!" Yelled Youngblood in his cocky tone. His skeleton crew chuckled as if he told a hilarious joke.

Danny's mind raced. He was currently tied with some ghost power cancelling cord and his best friends Tucker and Sam were being held in a ghostly net by a large burly ghost pirate. Not to mention that Youngblood held his sword up to Danny's throat.

"Now what shall be the fate of the famed ghost hero now that I have the upper hand?" Inquired Youngblood.

His crew started to name off ideas but suddenly something attacked the crew and rescued Tucker and Sam.

"What in the real world is happening?!" Screeched Youngblood. He was then hit by a bright green ghost ray that knocked him backward and away from Danny. His parrot was also knocked off.

Suddenly everyone was looking at the direction of Danny but the trio was now a foursome with the rescuer bearing a striking resemblance to Danny Phantom himself but this ghost was for sure female, wearing more feminine style clothes, and she was older than the teens as in her early twenties.

Suddenly Youngblood started laughing hard and his crew soon joined as he taunted "Oh my, your sister is trying to be like you that she even got ghost powers like you. Oh man! At least come up with your own symbol! I can't believe how much you've de-matured!

"Youngblood, if you don't leave pronto, I am going to kiss you and play house with your crew.

Youngblood's face turned pale, (even by ghost standards) was stunned for a couple of seconds as if was going to faint or cry.

Youngblood screamed like a banshee and screamed out orders to his skeleton crew to flee the scene. "I can't catch cooties, its way worse than scurvy!" Quickly the ghost pirates retreated giving the mysterious new Phantom the opportunity to escape and free Danny.

The trio ended up questioning her rather than thanking her on why she aided them or why she looked like Danny, but then Danny got a feeling about her. "Wait you're my ghost cousin Danielle, aren't you? That's why you know us and have my symbol. You're not Jazz at all."

"Correct and no the Ecto-Dejecto didn't have anything really with aging me. I'm rather embarrassed with how long it took me figure out the kiss threat." She answered.

"Well it was awesome! You got Youngblood and his gang to retreat without a fight." Tucker giggled with glee. Sam even smiled at the brilliant idea.

Danielle continued, "If cooties where a real condition, then the CDC would have something to say about it. I remember when- Where's Mom, Dad, and Jazz?"

"Back at home." Danny replied also wondering if she had possibly travelled from the future or if something else had happened to her. For one thing her costume/outfit was quite different.

"We need to get them out of here. They are in grave danger and so are countless other souls. We're burning daylight. He's back."

"Who's back?" The three teenagers asked in unison.

"Your alternate future self." She answered in dread.

Everyone's hearts suck like stones but Sam wasn't convinced.

"How do we know that you are the real deal and not trying to trick us?" She questioned the ghostgirl.

"I overshadowed Mr. Lancer and my mom as well as distracting my dad in order to keep you three from getting into trouble for ditching school and pilfering the Spector Speeder. You used it to travel to Colorado in order to save Danny from Vlad who was doing cloning experiments. I know that Danny got his powers from an accident in the lab. I'm from the future and I want to explain later because countless people are in serious danger and that monster is coming." Danielle explained.
