AUTHORS NOTE:
I'm giving this a go and hopefully it will turn out okay. This story starts in the episode TMNT: Battle Nexus Part 2 and is set after the Disasteroid incident in Danny Phantom. My story basically is instead of meeting Usagi, Leonardo meets Danny at the arena. I hope you enjoy this.
Leonardo stood in the pavilion of past champions, paying respect to the statue of Homato Yoshi, unaware that an assassin in black ninja clothing had prepared to fire his crossbow and end his life. Leo eyes then snapped open as he felt the assassin's presence and blocked his incoming arrow and send it hitting the statue instead.
"Sorry Master Yoshi" Leo quickly said.
The assassin came out and fired more arrows at him, Leo leaped into the air and dodged all the arrows, and he then landed and blocked the other arrows coming his way. The assassin jumped up onto the wooden planks of the roof and shot three shuriken at him, Leo quickly leaped out of the way only to suddenly be hit by another assassin behind him and causing him to hit a shelf full of weapons.
Leo stood up and looked around to see that the assassins disappeared, there was nothing but silence which made him feel a bit more uneasy.
"Okay where did everybody go?" Leo asked out loud, he quickly grabbed a naginata (A bo-staff with a blade) from the shelf and stood prepared.
Suddenly a whip came out and latched onto his wrist, catching him completely surprised as the two assassins pulled him towards them, but Leo kicked one of them away and attacked the other one with the naginata, the assassin blocked his attack with his sword.
Another assassin came out and sent a shuriken at him, as Leo pushed the assassin he was fighting back, the shuriken broke his weapon in half and he was suddenly kicked, sending him flying into the wall. He fell to the ground on stomach, the assassin then prepared his crossbow and aimed it right at Leo as he weakly tried to stand up.
Just when Leo thought this was the end, an ectoblast knocked the assassin away. Leo looked up to see a fifteen year old boy with snow white hair, glowing green eyes and wearing a black and white jumpsuit with a DP symbol on the front floating above them. It was Danny Fenton, also known as Danny Phantom!
"Get away from him!" Danny demanded as he landed in front of them and threatened them with glowing hands.
The assassins then got scared and ran off, Danny transformed back into his human half and went to help Leo up from the ground.
"You okay man?" Danny asked as Leo got up.
"Thanks for saving my shell" Leo said gratefully.
"Your welcome" Danny said.
"Hey aren't you that ghost kid who saved the world a few months back?" Leo asked amazed.
"Yep that's me. Danny Fenton also known as Danny Phantom" Danny said rubbing his neck in embarrassment.
"I'm Leonardo and I'm in your debt. If you don't mind me asking, what are you doing here and don't you find my appearance just a bit strange?" Leo asked curiously.
"Not at all. I'm here as a competitor in the tournament, my mentor's Clockwork and Frostbite told me about this tournament and encouraged me to give it a try. To answer your second question, I've seen so many strange things fighting ghosts that I'm used to seeing the weird and unexpected. I was heading to the arena, when I saw you getting attacked by those assassins" Danny answered.
"Lucky for me" Leo said.
Danny then glared and exclaimed, "LEO DUCK!"
Leo ducked as a shuriken came flying and Danny quickly transformed and put a shield around the two of them. Two of the assassins jumped down to attack Danny and the third one sent more shuriken at Leo, who grabbed a shield and blocked the tiny blades, he then threw the shield and knocked the assassin off the pillar.
"Who are these guys?" Leo asked aloud.
Danny dodged the assassin's swords and quickly made a sword of his own with his ice powers, knocking their weapons out of their hands and blasting them away with ectoblasts. Leo grabbed a couple of wooden weapons and attacked fought the assassin in front of him, Danny flew inside the assassin he was fighting and overshadowed him, he then forced the assassin to drop the sword and hit himself against the wall. Danny then came out of the wounded assassin, only to turn around to see Leo about to be stabbed by his opponent's sword. He was about to go help him, when Leo grabbed the helmet behind him and blocked the blade, he then kicked the assassin and punched him with the helmet.
Danny stood in front of the fallen assassins preparing to fire more ectoblasts at them, but they instantly became scared and fled the scene. Danny then transformed back into his human half as they watched them flee.
"They are gone for now" Danny said.
"Again thank you for your help Danny" Leo said.
"No problem. I wouldn't thank me yet though, we may end up fighting against each other in the tournament" Danny said.
"I have to say though, the way you fight I'd rather not go up against you if I can help it" Leo said amazed by the way Danny fights.
Danny chuckled at that and said, "I feel the same way Leo. You got some pretty cool skills yourself"
Suddenly the Daimyo's assistant appeared holding Leo's now repaired swords in his hands. He handed them to him while saying, "Master Leonardo, your swords have been repaired. I trust you will find them worthy"
Leo smiled as he held up his weapons and sheathed them. He bowed and said, "Thank you"
"You two must hurry, the next stage of the Battle Nexus Tournament is about to begin" He said as he disappeared out of site.
The two then walked out into the arena. Danny shook Leo's hand and said, "Good luck Leo"
"And to you Danny" Leo returned the gesture.
The two then departed ways, as Danny walked into the group of warriors he stopped as he suddenly noticed Skulker standing there and gasped as he asked, "Skulker! What are you doing here?"
"Well whelp my girlfriend says not only am I a lousy hunter, but I'm a lousy fighter as well. So when I heard you were entering the Battle Nexus Tournament, I figured that beating you will change her mind" Skulker answered smiling a wicked grin at him.
"So you're not here to hunt me?" Danny asked.
Skulker frowned at that and answered, "Unfortunately no. The rules state I'm not allowed to hunt the competitors, but don't think I've given up on you. When this is over, I'm going after your pelt! But on the plus side, I might be winning a lot of money from this tournament. I placed a huge wager on myself"
"Then all I can say is good luck to you Skulker" Danny said as he walke away.
