A Hunt in Amity Park
Author's Note: I'm going to use the Eastern order for Asian character names and the Western order for non-Asian character names.
Chapter 1

Tokyo General Hospital, Japan
Taniyama Mai helped her ghost hunting colleague Hara Masako out of the doorway. She was wounded the worst of them all, with both legs broken she needed to be pushed on a wheelchair. The latest case for Shibuya Psychic Research had been one of the most terrifying and life threatening they had ever faced. Mai rolled Masako up to the waiting van and Kojou Lin stepped out. His left arm was in a sling, yet the Chinese man wasn't letting his injury slow him down. "Mai, I'm going to need your help getting her in the van," he said. "Alright, I'll get her legs," Mai said as Lin lifted up the smaller Masako with his good arm while Mai gently lifted her legs and helped her into the van. Lin got into the driver's side of the van while Mai folded up Masako's chair and put it in the trunk, then took the passenger's seat.
As the van drove to Masako's house Mai looked back and asked her, "Are you okay?" The psychic medium looked at Mai and said, "This isn't over. We may have sealed…it…for now, but we will have to destroy it." "Can we destroy it?" Mai asked. Lin was the one to answer, "We cannot. But Naru told me he has an idea on who can help us destroy that monster." "Who could possibly have the power to destroy such a foul creature?" Masako asked. "You'll have to ask him that, he hasn't told me a thing," Lin told her, and stopped the van at her house. Mai and Lin worked together to help Masako into her home. Before they left Masako told Mai and Lin, "We need to be careful; one false move could release it into Tokyo." "That's not going to happen," Lin assured her then Mai and he went back into the van.
He started to drive to Mai's house when Mai yelled, "Stop!" Luckily they hit a red light at that moment so Lin could stop the van. "Take me to Naru," Mai told him. "Do you really think that is for the best right now, you know that he needs his rest," Lin responded. "We both know that he isn't resting up. Lin, he held back from us, and it almost cost us our lives! I don't know about you, but I'm sick of not being in the loop, I want to know what he's planning!" Mai passionately yelled back, then stopped and winced. She had two broken ribs, and she really should not have yelled. Lin looked at the teenage girl and nodded, "Very well, but don't yell so much, you need to rest too." With that, he changed course, and headed for the Shibuya Psychic Research home office.
They went inside to see that Shibuya Kazuya, aka Naru, was lying down on the couch and looking up something on his laptop. He did not acknowledge either of them, only kept on typing on his laptop. "Naru, Mai needs to talk to you," Lin finally said after three minutes of being ignored. Naru at last stopped typing and closed his laptop. Just then Mori Madoka came in, "What is wrong with you!? You used your PK again!?" She marched up to Naru and glared at him. The young man only looked back at her stoically. "Do you have any idea what could have happened?! What on Earth are Lin and I supposed to tell your parents!?" "I had to do it," Naru at last said. "That thing was too dangerous, it had to be stopped, unfortunately even I was unable to destroy it, only weaken it enough that it could be sealed," he said.
Madoka sighed at this, "You're right, unfortunately." She finally noticed Mai and Lin, "Oh, hi Mai, Lin, are you healing up alright?" Lin grunted in answer while Mai said, "Yeah, just give me a few weeks. But wait, that's not why we're here." Mai said, realizing they were getting off-topic. "Naru, I demand to know what you're planning to do about it, and where is it anyway?" Naru's raised his eyebrow at this and he answered in his usual haughty manner, "Why should I tell you anything, I'm your boss, in case you've forgotten." Mai's face turned red as a tomato in both anger and embarrassment, "That's not the point! The fact is that you're the one always calling me an idiot, but then you never take the time to explain what you're planning to do beforehand! You think you're the only one that's affected by your decisions!"
Mai then hissed in agony as her ribs flared up and Madoka directed her to a chair. "Mai, don't push yourself too hard," she told the young woman. Madoka then turned to Naru, "She's right though, you should start telling people what your plans are otherwise how are we supposed to be of any help to you? This time nearly got people killed." Naru sighed at this and closed his eyes before answering, "The fact is that I don't believe that psychic abilities will be any help to us to destroy that monster. However, there is an American company that might have the necessary weaponry. Fenton Works is small, owned by a family exclusively. They're small, yet manage to carve out enough of a living to be able to fund scientific inquiries into ghosts and their abilities. Once we're healed, we'll go to them and see if they can help us.
"But before that, I need you, Mai, to do something for me," Naru said. "What?" she asked. "Take off your shirt," Naru said with a straight face. "WWWWHHHHAAAATTTTT!?" Mai shrieked; all other words abandoned her. "We need to document your injuries, otherwise the Fenton's might not believe us," Naru said. "But…" Mai whispered, her whole body going red in embarrassment. "You idiot scientist," Madoka whispered. "Madoka can take the pictures of your injuries if that's what you want," Naru said. "Alright, where's your camera?" Madoka said. "It's in the van," Lin said, and Madoka went out to get it. Once she returned she said, "Alright, now Mai, let's go into Naru's office for this. And boys," Madoka looked at both Lin and Naru and cheerily said, "If I catch either of you peeking, I'll scratch your eyeballs out."
Madoka and Mai went into Naru's office and shut and locked the door. Madoka helped Mai out of her shirt, "Oh my, I didn't think your bruises would be so black," she said in concern. "It's not so bad," Mai said, trying to put on a brave face. Madoka took several pictures of Mai from the front, back, and sides. Mai put her shirt back on and said, "Madoka?" "Yes?" Madoka asked. "Do you think that the people at Fenton Works can really help us?" Mai asked. Madoka scratched her head at this, "Naru may be an idiot scientist, but he never plans something unless he's sure that it will work." She then said, "Oh but you shouldn't worry about that, you just focus on getting lots of rest and getting all healed up."

Amity Park, Indiana
Danny flew circles around the ghost; it was a ten foot tall black and green Cyclops that couldn't keep up with him. The problem was that Danny's attacks weren't hurting it either the only thing he had left was brute strength or the Ghostly Wail. "Hey Danny!" he heard Jazz yell from below, waving the Ghost Gloves in the air. Danny dodged a punch from the Cyclops and shielded himself from a laser eye blast then flew to Jazz and grabbed the Ghost Gloves from her. "Thanks Jazz!" Danny yelled as he put them on. "Alright ugly, let's-WHOA!" Danny stopped in midair right before he hit a white laser from the ground.
"There's the Ghost Boy! Get him!" he saw a man wearing black combat fatigues yell on the ground as two more men blasted at him. "Knock it off you bozos!" Danny yelled down as he had to raise an ecto-shield to block several blasts. Just then he was hit in the back from the Cyclops and sent hurtling towards Earth, where five lasers hit him before he hit the ground. "Ow," Danny wheezed then looked up to see the guys in black combat fatigues standing over him. "You're gonna make us filthy stinking rich," one of them said. Just then the Cyclops reminded the hunters of his existence when he landed not one foot away from them.
Danny used the distraction to phase under the road and then fly back up a good distance away to see the hunters running away from the Cyclops. "Figures," Danny sighed, and powered up the Ghost Gloves and charge forward. The Cyclops roared and ran at him. Danny dodged its clumsy punch and flew at full speed at the ghost's chin, sending it flying sky high with a loud POW! Danny then flew after the Cyclops and knocked it back to Earth twice as hard then sucked it up into his Ghost Thermos. The hunters hadn't forgotten about him though, and immediately started firing at him. "ENOUGH!" Danny angrily yelled, then blasted ice rays from his eyes; freezing their lasers. He saw them headed for a Hummer and immediately flew down and tore its engine out.
"Next time I won't be so nice," Danny said, glaring at them as he flew off. He saw Jazz in an alleyway and flew down to her and turned back into his Human Form. "That was harsh, taking apart their car," Jazz told him. "They deserved it, you saw what they did, the Cyclops was right there, and they shot at me! And then after I saved their sorry butts, what do they do? They start shooting at me again!" Danny angrily said. "An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind," Jazz said as they passed the hunters, who were now trying to call a tow truck. Danny angrily sulked the rest of the way home; he wasn't in the mood to argue.
