Chapter 1
Doors In trees?
"Man, where the hell are all the ghosts?" asked Danny, who was bored out of his mind. "I don't know maybe technus told them about me and they were too scared to return?" said Joe while he was reading the months issue of rolling stone. "Who knows, but I like this, there are only allies coming through the portal, and not to mention how well our grades have increased." Said Sam. "I'm home!" they heard jazz yell from downstairs, she had gone to the store to pick up some peanut butter and fluff, Joes absolute favorite sandwich type, because he had preformed for her school dance. Sam had to hold him back saying, "We just had lunch an hour ago!" "But its peanut butter and FLUUUFF, not PB and J, not PB and bananas, PB and FLUUUFF!" he whined while desperately grasping for the door handle. Before he could get away Danny hit him on the head with an ecto bat. "Sorry about that but if he got into the fluff before we put it in the phase proof cupboard he would eat it all. And he isn't the only one in the house who loved PB and F." he said referring to hi dad and himself. "Next time lock him in an ecto cell, alright. He is going to have-" "splitting head ache." Finished Joe. "Sorry but you don't get the fluff until-" his ghost sense went off "we take care of this ghost, send out the signal." He said as he transformed. Joe transformed, Ember ran out of her door, Sam pressed the signal button on her cell phone, it was installed into the phone of every member of team phantom, it was the DP emblem and when pressed it set off a high volume ringtone in the style of Danny's theme song, and ran to the lab to get her special version of the Fenton peeler, Jazz got her peeler, tucker activated the tuckbot 4000, jack and Maddie opened the weapon locker and grabbed the basic weapons, and Val activated her suit.
"Dad where is the ghost on the radar?" asked Danny after the team converged at town hall. "Around the movie theater." He replied, then adding. "Hey Sam what are you wearing?" Sam replied, "Oh, this? Me and Mrs. Fenton modified a peeler for my special use." The suit was mostly black, her gauntlets and boots were dark purple, as were the bat design on her helmet, her belt, and her chest emblem, an M with a sideways tail similar to Danny's DP emblem, containing a black S in the tail, the wrists had panels for modified weapons to come out of, her helmet had an modified Fenton phone in it that could work as a tracking device, her boots had experimental flight tech that released controlled bursts of colorless energy equal to the force of gravity but adjustable to increase or decrease height. On her belt she had a Fenton combat staff, and a collapsible bazooka. And strapped on her back was her own invention, the Manson ecto sword, a broad sword that creates a blade of pure solidified ectoplasm sharpened to split one of Danny's hairs strait down the center. "It has all the strengths of the original peeler, and many more. But less of the weaknesses. It also runs on natural radiation, so it can never run out of energy." explained Maddie.
"Handy." Said tucker. "I gave the tuckbot some upgrades of my own." He picked up a rock and tossed it at it, the robot ignored it. "Danny charge this rock with ecto energy." He did so and tucker threw it up in the air, the robot obliterated it. "it will only attack ghosts, it's aim is better then all of ours combined, and at the flip of a switch," he flipped a switch on the controller, then the tuckbot altered it's form to a back pack which tucker put on and pressed a button, it's form changed as it surrounded him, it covered his torso and then his other appendages, when it was done, he looked a bit like iron man, but without a helmet. He had a flight system like Sam did, his arms were large and his strength enhanced, all of the robot's weapons were in the wrists and legs. The whole chest was the color of tuck's shirt, the arms the color of his undershirt, and the legs the color of his pants. "It becomes a battle suit for me." "Nice work tucker, but can we get on with catching the ghost?" asked Joe, who wanted that sandwich. "Yeah, let's go."
Upon their arrival at town hall they saw a new ghost they had never seen before. It was tall, pitch black, humanoid, and somewhat fluctuating in shape. Danny didn't care. "Hey! Tall dark and creepy! You ready to get your but kicked?" the ghost didn't answer; he just smiled and flew off. "Hey!" he yelled, and gave chase, followed by the others. They chased it for about an hour before it started to fly into the forest. "Great, just what we need, a chase through a forest." Said Sam as she dove down after it with Danny and Joe while Danielle, tucker, and Val (with jazz on the back of the board) guard the sky. They dodged and weaved through the forest, just barely missing their target each time. Soon however the ghost simply stopped. "Whoa!" yelled Danny as he almost overtook him. This had the rest of the team homing in on him and the ghost. "End of the line jerk." Said Ember as she finally caught up, her top speed really needed improvement.
It looked at them then right before it was captured it pointed to the left of him and, in a light yet dark wispy voice he said, "Loooook" when he was in the thermos the gang turned towards the direction he pointed. "Well, shall we find out what he wanted to show us?" asked Danni. "It could be a trap, so be on your guard." Replied jazz. As they walked cautiously into the mysterious clearing they were surprised. In a circle there stood seven tall, yet apparently dead, trees. On each of them there was a design. A turkey, a firecracker, a four leafed clover, a heart, an Easter egg, a Christmas tree, and a jack-o-lantern. And at each tree's base lie a pile of small objects relative to the image. "What is this?" asked Joe slowly as he walked to the center. "I don't know." Said Sam as she, Danny, Danielle, Ember, and Joe walked to the jack-o-lantern. "It doesn't seem ghost related, too natural." Said jack, as he, Maddie, Val, Tucker, and Jazz, walk up to the Christmas tree. "Wait, the jack-o-lantern's nose is out a bit…" said Danni. "So is this ornament…" said tucker. With that maddie reached her hand out to the ornament, as did Danny with the nose. They both grabbed the respective knob. They both turned it. They slowly pulled it open…and…
"There's nothing in here." They said in unison. They all just shrugged and went to leave when, out of the Christmas tree door came a snowy wind that grasped half of team phantom, and out of the jack-o-lantern door came a leaf filled wind that grabbed the other half. As soon as they all fell through the door, they both shut tight like nothing had happened.
Deep in the ghost zone clockwork smiled. "So begins the next adventure for them." Daniel Phantom (Dan changed his name so that he not only looked like a hero again, but had a nicer name) looked at him and asked, "What will they have to do here?" "Simply gain some friends and learn some wisdom, all while taking care of a threat to that world." He replied. "Everything is going well. Very well…" said clockwork as he resumed his training. Daniel did the same but in his head he thought, I hope they will be alright.
Welcome to the second chapter of the Phantom saga.
