Phantom Hunt

Prologue

GH

"This is it Mai," Father John Brown told Taniyama Mai, they were at the altar of John's church; Disasteroid was coming upon Earth any moment. They couldn't contact Ayako or Monk, Masako, Lin and Naru had gone off to England. The only thing Mai could think to do was be with the one friend she could find. "Most Merciful Father in Heaven!" John prayed, and Mai bowed her head, praying silently, "Let your will be done, for your ways are always just and true. If this is to be the end of Creation, accept all who are worthy into your bosom. But if that is not your will, Almighty God, let us be under your protection!" As John finished his prayer, the orphans around them said much the same thing, and then suddenly, the world seemed to…change.

"What!? What's going on?" a chorus of young voices said. "Mai! You know what this is, don't you!?" John said, and Mai recognized the feeling. "It's Danny Phantom!" Mai excitedly yelled as everything around them turned semi-transparent. Through the floor of the church, John, Mai, and the orphans all watched as a giant green mass passed through the Earth. "Disasteroid…" Mai whispered as it passed. As soon as Disasteroid passed through the Earth, the world returned to normal. For a minute, all was quiet, but then all around they heard the sounds of Tokyo celebrating! John and Mai led the orphans of the church out, and saw as fireworks erupted in the sky. "He did it!" John yelled in relief, "Praise the Lord he did it!" Tears of joy flowed down Mai's face as she let out a sigh, "He did it."

One Week Later

Mai, Father John, Masako, Ayako, and Monk all waited at the airport like Naru had told them, he called Mai specifically to tell the others. When Mai first saw Ayako and Monk, the two of them were extremely quiet around each other, not even fighting like they usually did. Masako was quiet as well; none of them seemed to want to talk about the fact that the end of the world had been nearly avoided only a week ago. There was even a large statue under construction, 25 meters tall that would be dedicated at the end of the week in honor of 'Earth's Greatest Hero: Danny Phantom.' Mai was getting very uncomfortable with everyone's silence and she finally said, "Masako, where were you?" She didn't have to ask when; everyone was asking that question now: 'Where were you when the world almost ended?' was something everyone asked now. Masako took a second and said, "I was with my family, cleaning their grave markers." Mai looked at her sadly, and Masako said, "I thought for sure that it was the end, I wanted to be with them." "Masako," John said, "Why didn't you tell us about your family before?"

"It didn't seem relevant…before," Masako explained. Everyone nodded at this, and Mai then asked Monk and Ayako the same question. "I don't want to talk about it," Monk responded, surprising Mai a lot. "I wasn't alone, that's all you need to know," Ayako told Mai and turned away from her. Monk looked at Ayako, and Mai put two and two together; then her face turned red at the thought of what they could have been doing together. Masako and John blushed a little as well, and no one said anything more until the announcement that Lin and Naru's plane had finally landed. Monk and Ayako were the tallest ones there, and held up the sign with Naru's real name, Shibuya Kazuya as high as they could.

Mai, Masako, and John all looked for Lin and Naru. "I see them, and…they're not alone," Masako said as she pointed out Lin and Naru, along with an older gaijin couple. "Huh? Who are those people?" Mai wondered as she got a good look at the foreigners, they were an older white couple, and seemed to be conversing very happily with Naru before Lin pointed the rest of Shibuya Psychic Research out to them.

When they got closer Mai saw that the man was older, with already grey hair, dark glasses, and wearing a dark suit like Naru's, and the woman's once brown hair had grey streaks in it. The middle-aged white couple walked up and Mai saw that the man's eyes were piercingly blue while the woman's were a dark shade of green. The woman smiled at everyone and said, "Kon'nichiwa, sore wa anata no subete o mitasu tame ni kōeidesu," and bowed, and the man bowed as well. The woman's Japanese was very good, but she had an accent that Mai couldn't identify. Mai blushed as she realized she was forgetting her manners and everyone replied, "It is a pleasure to meet you as well," and bowed back to the couple. "Excuse me," Monk said, "But, we were only expecting Lin-san and Naru-san…who are you?" The woman translated what Monk said to the couple in English to the man, apparently her husband, and Naru looked…uncomfortable.

The woman smiled and said, "I see that my son has neglected to tell you about us. I am Dr. Luella Davis, and this is my husband, Dr. Martin Davis." "Dr. Davis?!" Masako yelled in surprise. "SON!?" the rest of SPR yelled in shock.

DP

It had been a week since Danny had saved the world, Sam became his girlfriend, and his best friend Tucker had become Mayor. His head was swimming now as he and Sam lay together on top of Amity Park's water tower. "Danny, what do you think we'll do now, about ghost fighting?" Sam suddenly asked him. "I…don't know. I didn't really think about it that much," Danny admitted, "Without the ghost's help I couldn't have saved the world. There hasn't been a ghost attack since then, at least not here. But, ghost sightings have gone off the charts since then everywhere else from what I heard online. I've been getting invites from the Guys In White to work for them, apparently they're stretched really thin now." "I've heard about that too," Sam said, "You need to do something about it." "I was thinking about maybe, I don't know, talking to the ghosts; try to get them to back off maybe?" Danny said. Sam nodded, "That would be a nice idea, wouldn't it? Get them to cut down on bothering people, maybe learn to live in harmony."

"Yeah right," Danny said, "It's taken thousands of years to get humans to work with each other, I don't think that one little saving the world thing will make ghosts and humans work together." And right on cue, Danny saw the Fenton Family Assault Vehicle come screaming down the street below, his Dad's voice yelling through the Vehicle's speakers, "Stop right there ghost!" Danny and Sam watched as a laser came out of the Fenton Family Assault Vehicle and hit an invisible ghost dead on, making it visible. It wasn't someone Danny and Sam were expecting.

"OH NO! DANI!" Danny yelled when he saw his clone. Danny quickly went Ghost and flew to protect her. The laser was about to hit Dani again, when Danny got in front of her and used an ecto-energy shield to block the blast. "Danny! What's going on?" Jack asked. "Dad, Mom, stop, she's one of the good guys!" Danny yelled back, keeping himself between Dani and his parents. "We saw her stealing cookies from the gas station," Danny's Mom said as she got out. Danny looked at Dani who nervously shrugged, and then her stomach grumbled. "Look, she was hungry; she doesn't have any money to buy food…" Danny said. "How do you know?" Jack asked as he got out of the Vehicle too. "I should get going…" Dani said. "No, wait!" Danny said, and grabbed her. "Listen to me," Danny told his 'cousin', "we need to explain the situation now, Vlad can't hurt you now; he's off in space. Dani, please, I'm worried about you. It's better if we deal with this now." "Are you sure?" Dani asked she sounded like a scared little girl than the amazing halfa Danny knew she was.

"Trust me," Danny told her. Danny flew down in front of his parents, and Dani followed, floating down next to him. "Mom, Dad, this is Dani…she's," Danny and Dani both turned off their Ghost Forms then and his parents gasped in shock, "My clone."
