Disclaimer time: I hold no claim to either Danny Phantom or Luigi's Mansion that this story is very loosely based on. They belong to their respective creators and what they say about them is fact. I decided to try this out for a few reasons. The main reason is because I wanted to do a story that is far more light-hearted than the stories I have usually done. The second reason is because I have not seen any story that combines these two into one.
This story is also an AU because I want the story to feel just like the game, so Danny has no ghost powers. He's just a normal human who has to deal with ghost armed with only a flashlight and a vacuum, or something similar because I may use equipment based on Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. The enemies that Danny will face are his usual enemies from his series, but they are in one location. I'm also making Danny and his friends at least 16 or 17 years old in this story.
Without further ado, I give Danny's Mansion. I hope you all will enjoy the story.
Deep within a dark forest area just outside of Amity Park, three teens can be seen walking on a beaten path. There were two boys and one girl holding a map while one of the boys was holding a flashlight. The girl was Caucasian and wore a black tank top with a purple skull, a black skirt, purple stockings, and black combat boots. She had black hair that was pulled up into a small ponytail. She also had eyes that were a light shade of purple. The boy holding the flashlight was Caucasian and wore a white T-shirt with a red oval, blue jeans, red and white sneakers. Much like the girl, he had black hair that covered his blue eyes. The last teen was an African American with a yellow long sleeve shirt, off green colored cargo pants, brown boots, and a red beret. He had teal eyes that were covered by his large glasses. The dark skinned boy was holding onto a small electronic device while constantly looking over his shoulder as the other two teens argued.
"Sam, are you sure you're reading this map right?" asked the teen holding the flashlight.
"Of course I am Danny," replied Sam. "When I have ever gotten us lost?" she asked.
"Let's see, how about that time you lead us to the edge of a cliff when we were summer camp?" argued Danny.
"I was ten back then," Sam defended herself.
"Or how about that time when you read those directions to that underground slasher movie fest?" continued Danny. "We ended up in a golf course," he added.
"Okay, I get it Danny," muttered Sam as she went back to reading the map. "If I'm so bad at reading a map, then why did you give me the map?" she complained.
"I didn't, you took the map as soon as I showed it to you and Tucker," argued Danny.
"You could have taken it back from me," said Sam.
"I could, but you looked so cute when you were concentrating on the map," Danny flirted.
Sam blushed slightly after hearing Danny's comment. The two of them have been dating since their sophomore year in high school, and the two of them seemed to be willing to go all the way in their relationship.
Before the two could flirt with each other their friend Tucker let out a scream. This caused the two of them to jump slightly before turning their attention to Tucker. Danny shined his flashlight at Tucker who was hiding behind a rock.
"What now Tucker?" asked Danny and Sam at the same time.
"T-t-t-there's something on that branch," whimpered Tucker as he pointed at a tree nearby.
The young couple looked at where Tucker was pointing and saw an owl looking back at them. Danny, Sam, and the owl looked back at Tucker.
"It's an owl Tucker," said Sam.
"Yeah man, there is nothing to be scared of," agreed Danny.
"Except for the shadow man behind you, watch out Tucker!" screamed Sam causing Tucker to jump and scream like a little girl.
Sam let out a laugh after seeing Tucker freak out while Danny rolled his eyes at his girlfriend's childish act.
"Sam stop scaring Tucker," said Danny as he grabbed the map. "We're trying to find this mansion I won, not make Tucker scream like a little girl every twenty minutes," he added as he looked at the map.
"I still don't get how you won a mansion Danny," said Tucker as he gave Sam a brief glare which she ignored.
"Yeah you didn't enter any contests, and who would give away a mansion in a contest?" Sam added.
"I don't know, but it doesn't hurt to take a look," replied Danny. "Besides I'll probably just sell it since I doubt I'll need it," he added.
With that said the three teens continued on their little journey to find Danny's mansion.
After ten minutes of mindless wandering, Tucker screaming at every little sound that can be heard within the dark woods, and Sam getting the three of them lost, the trio finally arrived at the location of the mansion indicated on the map. The three of them looked at the picture of the mansion that was on the map. The picture of the mansion was a massive white three story building with large double doors, twelve windows facing front, and two chimneys on the sides. The teens were quite impressed with how it looked on paper.
However when they looked up to see the actual mansion, they were greeted to a different sight of the mansion. The actual mansion was indeed three stories tall, but it looked like it was condemned. Cracked windows lined the front, broken gothic looking double doors, a dull blue color scheme, a broken roof with holes, and several bats flying out of the top window to the attic. Around the mansion were several dead trees and a metal gate that was rusted. Just outside of the mansion was a small shed.
"What a piece of crap," commented Danny as he looked back at the picture. "When the Hell was this picture taken, 1897?" he asked.
"It doesn't look so bad Danny," said Sam. "A little work and it will look brand new," she added.
"More like a massive overhaul," commented Tucker. "Seriously dude, this place needs some tech support," he added.
"Forget it Tucker, I rather we just head back and forget about it," said Danny.
Before the three teens could argue over their next course of action, a bolt of lightning flashed above them and the sound of thunder was heard. After the lightning struck it started to rain causing them to run towards the small shed only to find that it was locked.
"Oh come on!" yelled Danny as he tried to pry the door open.
Another flash of lightning struck, causing Tucker to scream once again as he cowered behind Sam. Sam elbowed Tucker so that he would back off of her.
"Will you stop screaming Tucker?" complained Sam.
"Sorry," muttered Tucker.
The rain started to get heavier which wasn't a good sign for the teens.
"Screw this, let's get to the mansion," ordered Danny.
"We don't even know if it's open Danny," said Sam.
"Who cares that overhang is big enough to cover all three of us," replied Danny as he led his girlfriend and his best friend to the creepy mansion.
The three teens reached the mansion and got under the overhang just before the rain started pouring down hard. As they tried to dry themselves off, Sam noticed something shining on the welcome mat. She walked over to it and found a key. She picked it up and looked at it before heading to her boyfriend.
"Hey Danny, I found a key," said Sam as she gave it to Danny.
Danny looked at the key for a moment before looking back at Sam.
"I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that this is the key to the house," said Danny.
"Really, I haven't noticed," commented a sarcastic Sam.
"I chose to ignore your remark Sam," said Danny as he walked towards the door to the mansion and inserted the key into the lock.
After turning the key, Danny turned the door knob and slowly pushed the door open. The door let out a noisy creaking sound which scared Tucker. Danny and Sam looked at each other for a moment before they walked into the mansion together. Tucker slowly followed them so that he wouldn't be left behind. The looked over the main entrance and saw a staircase in the center that led to the second floor. On the left and right ends of the second floor were doors that were closed. There were a few pictures hanging on the walls, but without any real lighting it was hard to see. Up on the ceiling was an old chandelier that looked like it was about to fall.
"Creepy," commented Danny
"I don't know, it looks kind of nice to me," mentioned Sam.
"Well I'm not interested in this place one bit, so let's get out of here," said Tucker as he slowly backed up.
Suddenly the door slammed behind the three teens which caused Tucker to scream once again. A flash of lightning illuminated the main entrance as Tucker continued to scream.
"STOP SCREAMING TUCKER!" yelled Danny and Sam.
Before Tucker could say anything to his friends, the black nerd spotted something above the staircase. It was a short, somewhat round man in blue overalls, gloves, a black shirt, and a small beanie. The man had blue skin and red eyes, but that wasn't the strangest thing about him. He was floating above the stairs.
Danny and Sam turned to look behind themselves and saw this blue man. They were a little confused by this strange man that was floating in front of them. The blue man raised his arms over his head to look menacing, but he just looked silly to the couple.
"BEWARE, I AM THE BOX GHOST!" yelled the Box Ghost.
Tucker let out a scream after hearing the word ghost.
"Seriously?" replied Sam.
The Box Ghost looked like he was about to do something, but he was suddenly being pulled away from the teens by some strange force. The teens looked up to see a small man, much smaller than the ghost in front of them, in a white lab coat and a vacuum strapped onto his back. He held the hose in front of the Box Ghost, who was trying to get away from the small man.
The teens watched in confusion as the ghost and man struggled for a moment before the Box Ghost broke free of the vacuum's pull and flee away from the humans.
Danny and Sam walked towards the man to see if he is alright.
"Oh my," said the small man. "That was quite a tussle if I do say so myself," he continued.
Danny and Sam looked at each other for a moment before helping the man up.
"Why thank you young fellows," said the man. "I must say I'm surprised to see anyone in this old mansion," he continued as he checked his vacuum. "Oh dear, I'm afraid I'm get too old for this ghost hunting tomfoolery," he added.
"Uh excuse me sir," interrupted Sam. "But who are you?" she asked.
"Oh yes, where are my manners?" replied the man as he turned around.
But as he turned around, Tucker let out another scream as the Box Ghost returned with two other ghosts behind him. The teens and the small man saw the ghost coming towards them.
"Oh no, it looks like our ghoulish friend brought some more friends to greet us," said the man as he and the teens back away. "I say, we need to get out right now," he added.
"Gee, I haven't noticed," remarked Danny.
"Step lively kids, we need to get back to my lab post haste," said the man as he led Danny, Sam, and Tucker out of the mansion.
Two minutes later, the four humans were inside the small shed. The four of them were wet, but the small man gave the teens towels to dry themselves. Tucker was amazed by all the gadgets that were in the shed. Sam was amazed at how much bigger the shed was inside. Danny wasn't really impressed by the stuff or the size of the lab, given that he comes from a family of inventors and geniuses. The small man was sitting on a rolling chair with a cup of warm coco. He took a sip before turning his attention towards the three teens.
"Now I would like to introduce myself," said the man. "I am Professor P. Oltergeist, a researcher in the paranormal," he introduced himself.
'P. Oltergeist?' thought Danny. 'There's a pun in there,' he added.
"Nice to meet you sir, I'm Sam Manson," Sam introduced herself before pointing to Danny. "This is my boyfriend Danny Fenton," she continued as she moved onto Tucker. "And this is Tucker Foley," she finished.
"Nice to meet you three," said Oltergeist. "I must say I never would have expected such young people to be interested in haunted mansions. Usually kids these days are into typing on their phones or playing video games. It's actually nice to see youngsters interested in the supernatural," he continued.
"Well I am a Goth, so the supernatural is my thing," said Sam.
"Not entirely," commented Danny. "We actually came here for a different reason," he continued.
"Really, what reason would that be?" asked the professor.
"Well you see, four days ago I received a letter that I won a mansion in this contest…" started Danny.
"That you never entered," added Sam.
"Not now Sam," retorted Danny. "Anyway, I showed the prize to my family. My folks were excited about me winning. My dad wanted to take a look at the place, but he and my mom got invited to this inventor's convention. I was really interested in seeing the place and I showed this map to Sam and Tucker, and Sam was just as eager to check the place out. After driving to the woods, we got out of Tucker's car and continued towards the mansion on foot. Which leads us to where we are now," he explained.
"Interesting, but I don't understand why anyone would give away a haunted mansion in a contest," remarked Oltergeist.
"It didn't look like it in the brochure," commented Danny.
"Well Danny, I would say that you had been flimflammed," said the professor.
Danny, Sam, and Tucker looked at each other for a moment.
"Flimflammed," repeated the trio as they raised their arms up slightly.
"Well anyway I… wait a moment," started the professor until he realized something. "Danny Fenton, by any chance are you related to Jack Fenton of Fenton Works?" he asked.
"Unfortunately," replied Danny.
"Well this is a surprise, I've been using your father's products in my endeavors while in that mansion," said Oltergeist.
"You have?" asked Danny.
"Oh yes, in fact I've been using the Fenton Works 'Specter Sucker X200' to catch these ghosts," said the professor as he showed the teens the vacuum.
It was a fairly small orange vacuum with a black handle, a small switch on the bottom left, four buttons above the switch; the hose was on the right side with a wide head connected.
"You've been using that thing to hunt ghosts?" asked Danny.
"Of course, your family has such amazing ghost hunting products; in fact they are the only ones who make ghost hunting products," answered the professor. "But I'm afraid; I'm not capable of keeping up with all of those ghosts. It seems that mansion gets more and more ghosts every night," he added. "So why don't you three help me out in catching these ghosts and find out why they are gathering in this place?" he asked.
"Of course we'll help," agreed Sam.
"We will?" asked Danny.
"What!?" yelled Tucker in shock and fear.
Author's note: Well that's the beginning of this new story. Let me know what you think about it. I don't think this story will be too long both in length of the chapters and the chapters themselves. It's just a quick project for laughs. I'm also aware that the Specter Sucker X200 is a stupid name, it was intentional.
