Before notice: My character's name is Leonardo, and my character's older brother's name is Raphael, just so you guys don't get confused.

Raphael stood with Leonardo in their underground ghost lab "Alright Leo, I know you're starting a new school today but we have to get a round of training in before then."

Leonardo let out a sigh "I know bro, it's just that these powers…"

"I know, but this is what they would want. You asked me to help you train these new powers of yours, and whether they were a blessing or a curse there's no getting rid of them."

"Yeah, I know." Leo took a deep breath and composed himself "Alright, let's-" then he paused, a brown mist escaping from his mouth "Starting already? It's not like you to get so into it so fast."

"That's because I never started the simulator yet."

"What?" then he looked and saw two ghost octopuses appear from within the portal "Well I guess we can chalk this up as training for today. It's Phantom time!" he was enveloped in a white ring of light, and when it disappeared he had transformed into his half ghost state, his hair going from brown to silver, his eyes going from black to blue, and his outfit changing to a full black jumpsuit with blue gloves and boots "Alright, come at me ectopuses!"

The ectopuses charged.

Leonardo caught both of them by the tentacle, one in each hand, then fired Ecto Rays from each hand, blasting the octopuses apart.

Once they reformed, they fearfully raced back through the portal.

Leo sighed and powered down "Done and done, now what's my time?"

Raphael checked the stopwatch "2 minutes and 12 seconds in total. Nice job, it's a new record."

"I don't count it unless I get both of them in less than 2 minutes."

"But that's still a significant improvement from your last one."

"By 18 seconds." then he looked at the clock "Crap, I'd better go or I'm gonna be late. I can't afford that one the first day." he transformed again and flew off.

(At the same time, on Danny's end)

"I think I should tell them." said Danny.

"Why? It's not like parents listen." Sam pointed out "And even worst they don't understand, why can't they accept me for who I am?!"

"...Sam, you know that I'm talking about my powers and my problems right?"

"Oh yeah, me too."

"It's been a full month since the accident and I still barely have any control, if anybody catches me then I go from geek to freak around here."

"Kind of like what you're doing right now." Tucker pointed out.

"What?" then Danny freaked when he realized that he was phasing through the floor "Oh god dammit, if my dad can invent something that accidentally made me half ghost then why can't he invent something that turns me back to normal?" he phased through a snack machine while either not noticing or not caring "And on top of that, my sister signed me up to be the tour guide for this new guy that starts today. Can my life be any more down the toilet?"

"Danny, your powers make you unique." Sam told him "Unique is good, and that's why I'm an ultra recyclo vegetarian."

"No comment."

"What does that mean again?" asked Tucker.

"She refuses to eat anything with a face on it."

"Oh who cares about any of that stuff? Danny, two words: Meat connoisseur." Tucker took a long whiff "Last night you had sloppy joes."

"Impressive."

"Meat heightens the senses, and my all meat streak is 14 years strong."

"And it's about to end." Sam told him, a triumphant smirk plastered across her face "The school board finally agreed to try a new cafeteria menu, I finally wore them down."

"Wait. What did you do?"

"...Oh geez, look at the time. As much as I'd love to hear about how Sam ruined lunch forever, I've gotta go meet this new guy. Bye!" and Danny promptly ran off.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Leonardo stood in front of the entrance to Casper High and sighed 'A new school, a new life, new people to hide the fact that I'm half ghost from.'

"Hey."

Leo looked in front of him to see Danny come up to him "Oh hey."

"Are you Leonardo Hunter?"

"Yeah that's me, but feel free to call me Leo."

"Cool. Call me Danny, Danny Fenton. Nice to meet you." they started walking.

"You too." then he felt the green mist coming out of his mouth again, and he quickly covered it with his hand 'This is…'

Danny suddenly felt his own Ghost Sense going off 'Don't tell me…' they both shared a look with each other 'Is he like me?'

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

After 5 awkward minutes of walking in silence, Danny led Leo to the cafeteria "Anyway, this is the cafeteria."

"So I can see." Leo followed him into line, only to be rather thrown off by what he saw "What the-?"

"You got me. What is this, grass on a bun?"

"What kind of psychopath would come up with something like that?"

"That kind." Danny pointed over to where Tucker was yelling at Sam "Those are my friends Sam and Tucker, Tucker's what he calls a meat connoisseur and Sam is what she calls an ultra recyclo vegetarian, whatever the hell those mean."

"So Tucker thinks meat is a gift from the gods and Sam thinks that meat is a curse by the devil himself."

"...Yeah that's about right."

"Sounds like you're the only thing that keeps them from ripping each other apart over their clashing belief."

"Knowing those two it wouldn't surprise me, but they're my friends and I'd do just about anything for them." then he led them over to the table "Hey guys, this is Leo, the new guy I was telling you about."

"Hey." Leo held up two fingers.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

At the same time, a Lunch Lady ghost emerged from the Fenton ghost portal and realized that someone had changed the menu, and promptly took off.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Danny held up a piece of the grass bread thing "So Sam, don't you think this is at least a little bit extreme?"

"Nope." was all Sam said.

"Oh Ms Manson." Mr Lancer put a hand on her shoulder from behind her "The school board wanted me to personally thank you for ushering in this welcome experiment to our cafeteria." he then looked at Leo "And Mr Hunter, I hope you're settling into our school well."

Leo nodded "I am sir, it seems like a great school."

"Excellent."

Then Tucker suddenly sniffed "Meat, I smell meat. It's near."

Lancer grew nervous "No no, the rumors about the all steak buffet in the teacher's lounge are not at all true. Thanks again." then he ran off.

"...It's so true." Leo said after a moment "Seriously though, even if you don't like it why make everyone else eat this junk?"

"It's not junk." Sam protested "It's recyclable organic matter."

"No, it's garbage." then he felt his Ghost Sense go off 'There it is again.'

"See-" then Leo felt his too 'Don't tell me…'

'Is it him? Or is it… Guys, I've got a problem.

"FENTON!" a pissed off Dash threw mud at the back of Danny's head.

"Scratch that, make that two problems."

"I ordered three mud pies, and do you know what they gave me? Three mud pies, with mud from the ground! All because of your girlfriend!"

"She's not my/ I'm not his girlfriend!" Danny and Sam let out a simultaneous chorus.

Dash promptly grabbed Danny by the shirt "These are supposed to be the best years of my life, it's all gonna be downhill for me after high school! How am I supposed to enjoy my glory days eating mud?!"

"Actually it's topsoil." Sam pointed out.

"Whatever!" Dash shoved them in Danny's face "Eat it, and I mean all of it."

"...Fine." Danny was about to, when his Ghost Sense went off 'It's not him, so…' he looked and saw the Lunch Lady ghost in the kitchen 'Crap.'

"Garbage fight!" Leo subtly fired a mini Ecto Ray from his finger, causing the plate to fly straight into Dash's face, then turned to Danny "You do whatever you've gotta do and I'll do whatever I've gotta do."

"Thanks." Danny promptly crawled away during the chaos, with Tucker and Sam quickly following his lead 'So he might know, and he might be like me, but…'

'Okay, now's my chance!' Leo quickly rushed out of the cafeteria and hid himself in a janitor's closet "It's Phantom time!" he transformed and phased out of the closet, then flew off as fast as he could.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Danny led Tucker and Sam into the kitchen where they saw the Lunch Lady ghost "There she is."

"This shouldn't be so bad." Tucker commented "She looks a little like my grandmother."

"Shouldn't she be haunting a bingo hall?"

Then LL noticed them "Hello children, can you help me? Today's lunch is meatloaf but I don't see the meatloaf, did someone change the menu?"

"Her, all her, totally her." Danny pointed at Sam.

"YOU CHANGED THE MENU?!" she was surrounded by green flames "The menu has been the same for 50 years."

"Guys, get behind me." Danny motioned for them to get behind them.

Sam promptly did so, with Tucker following "Wow, I feel so much safer."

"I'm going ghost!" Danny promptly transformed into his ghost form and flew up to meet LL in mid air "I command you to… go away! Is that gonna work?'

"Never!" LL sent a barrage of dirty dishes at him.

Danny phased through them, leaving him unharmed 'Oh good, for a second there I didn't think that would actually work.' then he looked and saw them heading towards Sam "Crap!" he blitzed over and caught them all before they could hit her.

Then LL fired a second barrage, this time at Tucker.

'Dammit, I can't get to him in time!'

"I've got this one!" then Leo suddenly showed up in his ghost form and destroyed all of the plates with a single Ecto Ray, then looked back at the others "Sup?"

"Thanks, we'll talk later." then Danny was able to neatly line up all of the dishes he caught back on the counter "Well if the whole superhero thing doesn't work out then I could always find an exciting career as a busboy."

"The sad thing there is that a busboy gets paid more."

"I control lunch!" LL roared "Lunch is sacred! Lunch has rules! Anybody want cake?" she received dumb nods from Tucker and Sam.

"Too bad! Children who change my menu do not get dessert!" she phased through the roof and unleashed blasts of fire from the ovens.

"No!" Leo appeared and unleashed an Ecto Shield, stalling the ghost ovens "I can only hold this thing up for so long, get them out of here while you can!"

"But what about you?" asked Danny.

"I'll be right behind you, now go!"

"...Thanks." Danny promptly grabbed Tucker and Sam and phased through the wall using his intangibility.

Leo quickly let down his Ecto Shield and phased through the wall after them, escaping the ghost ovens.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Danny stopped tumbling back and got back on his feet "It worked? Yes, it worked!"

"Unbelievable." Sam grumbled "This is the thanks I get for thinking like an individual?"

"No." then Leo appeared "It's the thanks you get for forcing your sense of individuality on everyone else."

Then the lights shorted out and stuff began flying out of the lockers, courtesy of LL as she was also summoning various meats.

Tucker sniffed "Steak, ribeye, porterhouse, medium rare…"

"That ability is both impressive and disturbing." Leo commented.

Danny sighed "Just give it a few weeks, you'll get used to it."

"Somehow, I doubt that."

"Where did she get the meat from though?"

"Where do you think? Teacher's lounge, duh."

LL turned into a gigantic meat monster "Prepare to learn why meat is the most powerful of the 5 food groups! Cookie?" she received a head shake from Sam "THEN PERISH!"

"Forget it!" Danny blitzed in front of Sam "The only thing that has an expiration date here is you!" then he accidentally transformed back "...I did not mean to do that."

LL swatted Danny and Tucker aside, then grabbed Sam and took off.

"Come on guys, we've gotta go."

"Correction, I've gotta go. You guys have to deal with the jock and Lancer." and Leo took off, leaving them alone.

"What's he-" Danny looked back, only to see a pissed off Lancer and a mud covered Dash standing behind them "Oh. Crap."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Leo later returned and found Danny and Tucker in the principal's office, now back in his human form "Guys."

"So I was right." Danny noted "You're half ghost just like me."

"Yeah, but we don't have time for that. We've gotta find your girlfriend."

"For the last time, Sam is not my girlfriend!"

"Not the time for that." Tucker pointed out "New guy is right, and besides I feel like I'm the one who got her kidnapped."

"That might have something to do with the fact that you're the one who changed the menu. How about that?"

"Hold on." Tucker paused and sniffed "That stink is still in the building, 20 years tops."

"Wait a minute." Leo checked out the security cameras "Check it out, there's a meat trail in there." he transformed.

"Where there's meat there's bound to be a meat ghost." Danny transformed "And where there's a meat ghost is where we'll find Sam. Come on." he grabbed Tucker and phased out of the room.

'Oh crap, they're coming back.' Leo turned invisible.

Then Lancer came into the room with Dash "Gentlemen, your punishment will be-" he realized they were gone "-worse than you can imagine!"

'And just for kicks…' Leo picked up the broom and whacked both of them over the head, terrifying them, then went after the others.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Tucker stared in awe at the endless amount of meat in front of him "Sweet mother of mutton, I've dreamt of it but I never thought I'd live to see it!" he hugged a box.

"Wow." Danny muttered "Somehow I'm the one with ghost powers but you're still the weird one out of the two of us."

"Ghosts are pretty common these days." Leo phased through the wall behind him "Meat seeking techno freaks are not."

"True-" then he paused "Quiet."

"It's around this corner." Leo motioned for them to follow him, allowing them to see what he was seeing.

LL was attempting to force feed Sam meat, oh the horror "My dear child meat is good for kids, it helps them grow and makes them smile. Why won't you eat it?"

"We don't need meat!" Sam said defiantly "That's nothing but fat."

"SILENCE! You need discipline, manners, respect! You know where all of that comes from? MEAT! Chicken or fish?"

"Leo and I will take care of the ghost." Danny told Tucker "You just find a way to get Sam out of that of meat."

"Way ahead of you dude." Tucker held up a knife and fork.

"Alright then, I'll go first." then Danny charged out and slugged LL in the face, sending her flying.

Leo appeared beside him "Nice uppercut."

"Right? It took me like a week to get that down. And another week for this." he charged in and fired a kick.

LL caught it with ease "Don't you see? This is why you need meat, you're nothing but skin and bones!" she threw him into a wall, then attempted to skewer him with a deadly barrage of shish kabobs.

"I've got this!" Leo pushed Danny out of the way and split his body, the shish kabobs just harmlessly passing through him "I learned that in 2 weeks."

"Can you teach me that?"

"Dude I can teach you a lot of things. We'll talk about this later, we've got other problems to deal with right now."

Sure enough, LL turned back into the meat monster and grabbed them both, then threw them through a wall, forcing them to phase through it.

"Run?" Tucker guessed.

Sam nodded "Run." then they started running, only for LL to block their way, forcing them to run in another direction.

"Guys!" Danny grabbed them both and phased through the wall.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Leo caught up with them outside "Sorry about that, she kind of knocked me out cold for a few minutes."

"Lucky you." Danny muttered.

"Damn dude, fighting a gigantic meat monster and getting thrown through a wall must tire you out. You must be exhausted."

"What? Of course not, what would give you that idea?" then he passed out.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

At the Fenton Works, Jazz came in and was immediately assaulted by Jack and Maddie with a smoke grenade and the Fenton Ghost Weasel, only for it to do nothing but anger her.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Danny snapped awake in his room "What's going on?"

"You passed out halfway here." Leo told him "You've been out for about 3 days."

"3 days?!"

"Relax I'm just kidding, it's only been like 3 hours."

"Knock it off!" Sam barked "It's carelessness from guys like you and Tucker that almost got Danny killed!"

"Us?" Tucker rounded on her "We almost got him killed? The only reason this happened is because you had to be unique. You had to ruin a perfectly good thing and take the meat away, and now I'm going to get it back." then he stormed out.

"You want to change that menu back? You're gonna have to go through me to do it!" then she stormed out.

"...Your friends definitely know how to liven things up." Leo commented.

Danny let out a snort "Yeah, because things are so boring when you're half ghost. Anyway, I'm sure this will blow over and everything will be back to normal by tomorrow."

"Or everything will just be 10 times worse."

"...Knowing those two, that sounds about right."

"Yeah." then he turned serious "So how long have you had your powers?"

"About a month, but I still barely have any control. What about you?"

"I've had them for a year but don't worry, your powers will keep developing over time. So how did you get yours?"

"I went inside my dad's ghost portal and accidentally turned it on, and it fused some ectoplasm with my DNA and gave me ghost powers. What about you?" he noticed the mood darken.

"...I had a similar mishap, but I was alone when it happened. I didn't feel like anything had really happened so I didn't say anything to anyone. That is until about 6 months later, when my family was in a car accident. Somehow I awakened my powers and with my intangibility I was able to save myself and my brother, but my parents were…" he gripped his fist tightly.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have-"

"No no, it's alright. Anyway, since then I've been training with my brother to improve my ghost powers to fight off ghosts and help people, and make sure nothing like that never happens to anyone else."

"...You've had it pretty rough haven't you?"

"Yeah but that's one of the main reasons why my brother and I moved to Amity Park in the first place, to get a fresh start."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Morning came.

Danny walked up to the school and let out a sigh at what he saw "You were right Leo, things are 10 times worse."

Leo shrugged "It's a gift, both a blessing and a curse."

What they saw you wonder? Nothing big, just two different pep rallies.

On one side:

"What do we want?"

"Meat!"

"When do we want it?"

"Now!"

On the other side:

"Veggies now! Veggies forever! Veggies now! Veggies forever!"

And then both stormed up to him "Danny!"

"How did you guys put together two protests in one night?" asked Danny.

"Danny, we're meat eaters." Tucker pointed out "We're always ready to fight, and our high protein diets give us the energy we need to do it quickly and efficiently."

"...Uh huh."

Sam let out a scoff "Ultra recyclo vegetarians are always ready to protest, and because we don't have to waste time cooking our food we can move even faster!"

"Don't you guys think this is a little extreme?"

"So what if it is?"

Tucker nodded "We've got no choice buddy, you're either with me-"

"-or you're against him! So who's side-"

"-are you on?"

Then a massive whirlwind appeared out of nowhere and started sucking up meat, creating an even more massive meat monster "It's lunch time!" that was the cue for everyone to start running like hell.

Tucker actually fell to his knees "Meat, why have you betrayed me?"

"Danny, come on." Leo led him behind an abandoned truck "It's Phantom time!" he went into his ghost form.

"I'm going ghost!" Danny went into his ghost form "Your battlecry isn't bad."

"Yours either, but it could use some work." then he flew off.

"Bite me." then Danny flew off after him.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

At the same time, Jack and Maddie showed up and quickly caught Jazz using the Fenton Grappler, believing that she was still a ghost, forcing Jazz to explain to them that she wasn't one and tried to convince them to give up on ghosts.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Wow." said Leo "This thing is a hell of a lot bigger than I thought it was gonna be."

Meat, as the meat monster shall be called, constantly lunged at them.

"I've got this!" Danny aimed a sharp kick at Meat's head, sending it crashing to the ground.

"You're pretty good." Leo noted "Granted I've got more experience, but you're still not bad at all."

"Thanks, it takes a little bit of-" then he got punched by Meat and was almost sent hurdling into the atmosphere.

"Danny!" Leo summoned an ecto lasso and caught Danny by the leg with it "I've got a plan but I'll need you to cooperate with me on this!" he hurled him around through the air, then pulled him down at high speeds.

"And this move I like to call, Ecto Bullet!" he shot towards Meat, slamming into it head on and resulting in an explosion.

Once everything settled, Leo floated down and found Danny crawling out of a large crater filled with meat "Nice one."

"I've got meat juice in places I didn't know I had places."

Then LL came up to them "Oh dear what a mess, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I think so."

"TOUGH! Because you being okay is not part of my balanced diet of doom!" she formed various mini Meat clones.

"Hey Leo, you up for 2 on 6?"

Leo shrugged "Works for me."

"Alright!" Danny charged at three of the Meat clones and cut them all in half with a single sharp kick "How's that?"

"Not as good as this." Leo's arms turned into long swords and he used them to easily cut down the last three Meat clones, only for them to reform "Oh crap."

"Wasn't expecting that." then Danny suddenly transformed back "Or that." then he got pulled into the air by three of the Meat clones as something hit him in the face "The Fenton Thermos? But how am I supposed to get it to work?" then they dropped him 'Change back, change back, CHANGE BACK!' then he changed back "Thanks for the thermos!" then he phased through the ground right in front of his parents and sister, leaving Jack to gloat to Jazz that he was right and ghosts did exist, which ended when tons of meat fell on them.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Danny appeared next to Leo and in front of LL "Hey Leo, you mind if I round this one up myself?"

Leo shrugged "Go ahead, do whatever you've gotta do man."

"I will." Danny held out the Fenton Thermos.

"NO!" LL barked "Soup isn't on today's menu!"

"Well guess what? I- I mean we- are changing the menu, permanently! Please work, please work, please work!' he channeled some ectoplasm into the thermos, activating it.

"NOOOO!" then LL was dragged in against her will.

"...Wow."

"I'll say." Leo commented "That was cool as hell."

"What can I say? My parents have their moments."

"Everyone does." he pulled Danny up to the roof of the school building "So we don't get spotted and put on cleanup duty or something. So are you going to tell your parents about your powers?"

"No I don't think so, but I think I might have finally figured out what these powers are really for. They're not just some curse that I got from a freak accident, I'm suppose to use them to help people."

"That was what my brother said to me, you know you remind me a lot of him at times. So what do you say?" he held out his hand "Are we gonna fight off ghosts together as a team or what?"

"I think you've got a deal." Danny accepted his hand "From now on, you can go ahead and call me Danny Phantom."

"And you can call me the Phantom Blade."
