Dan Phantom Meets the Grim Reaper

Chapter One: Enter the Angel of Death

We begin our story in a place that no living person has ever seen. It is a place of light and clouds and the feelings of peace and tranquillity seem to float through the air. This is a place where no one ever feels pain or misery. This place I'm talking about is none other then Heaven, where the souls of the good go when they seek their final rest. We enter this realm to go to a certain office, the office of the Angel of Life and Death.

He was sitting in his office and viewing footage of a battle, several months old, a battle that filled him with dread. This battle was between two ghosts, but not just any ghosts. One was a ghost from the future that had destroied the Earth and most of humanity, the other was a anomaly. This other ghost was a half ghost half human, which disturbed the Angel just as much as the battle.

For you see the ghost from the future was not just another ghost. He was the combination of this half ghost and another older and viler half ghost. A turn of events had somehow merged their ghosts halfs together and created this monster. Finally the battle ended and with the younger ghost winning and the evil one being take into custody by Clockwork, the ghost who could control time.

But the angel was still worried, if this could happen once, maybe it could happen again. This was a risk that the angel could not take. The angel paced his office stroking his large red beard. Then I idea struck him.

God in his infinite wisdom had given him the power to take the souls of mortals if they should prove to be a danger to the Earth, and these half ghost definitely fit the bill.

He called up his secretary.

"Michel?" said the Angel of Life and Death.

"Yes Sir." said the Secretary.

"I need you to get me in contact with the Grim Reaper." said the Angel.

"Yes Sir, right away." said the Secretary.

As the call went through let us go to see the being in question. We can see him just leaving a retirement home, a smile on his face after a job well done.

Now the Grim Reaper does not look like you were taught to believe. Instead of being a skeleton he in fact looked like a normal human. But there were differences, for one he was wearing baggy Black cargo pants with lots of pockets in them. He also wore a black shirt with a skull on it, crossed under the skull were two scythes, the tool of his office.

Around his shoulders he wore a cloak with a hood, and black combat boots on his feet. As for what he looked like, he was a average looking twenty something, with very pale white skin, his hair was black as the midnight, and his eyes were glowing yellow. The last thing that made him look like the Grim Reaper and not a goth, was the six foot scythe that he carried on his shoulder.

He was about to go to his next job when his the sound of the funeral march began to play. He reached into his pocket to pull out his cell phone.

"Hello, you've reached Akbar's House of Pita Bread, we have the best falafels in town." said the Grim Reaper.

"Knock off your foolishness, I'm your superior and you will show respect." said the Angel of L and D.

"Man, were you born without a sense of humor or what?" said Grim.

"Just listen, I need you to come to my office right away, I have a very important assignment for you." said the Angel of L and D.

"Oh good, I haven't started a blood bath in a long time." said Grim.

"Its not that! Just come here!" said the Angel of L and D, then he hung up.

"Ah, the joys of being the bringer of death and decay." said Grim, then he dissappered in a cloud of black smoke.

Seconds later he appeared in the office of the Angel of Life and Death. The angel motioned for him to sit in the chair in front of his desk. As Grim sat down the Angel got right to the point.

"Grim Reaper. I have called you here because of a very grave matter. It has come to my attention that there are two half ghosts living on Earth. These two pose a danger to the continued existence of the human race. let this video footage tell the tale." said the Angel of L and D as he rolled the video of the battle and explained how the evil future ghost came to be.

"Ok, so what do you want me to do about this?" said Grim.

"You are the Angel of Death, you have the power to take the souls of mortals. I want you to reap their immortal souls to prevent this horror from ever occurring." said the Angel of L and D.

"So what is this, I turn them into ghosts and that saves the world?" said Grim.

"No, even in that form they are still a danger. Once you take their souls you will immediately deposit them into the afterlife, skipping the ghost phase." said the Angel of L and D.

"Are you sure there's no other way?" said Grim.

"No, to protect the Earth Danny Fenton and Vlad Masters must die." said the Angel of L and D.

"Yeah, I know, I just hate to take kids, it just seems so wrong." said Grim.

"You have no choice, it is your job and you will do it as I order it. Do I make my self clear?" said the Angel of L and D.

"Yes sir." said Grim.

"Good, now go, the future of the Earth depends on you." said the Angel of L and D.

"Wow, that's the first time anyone has said that about me." said Grim as he disappeared.

Meanwhile in a castle in Wisconsin, the most evil ghost hybrid in the world (which isn't saying much since there are only two, four if you count Sam and Alicia) was planning more evil that he could visit on a certain group of ghost fighters. He was sitting down at his desk writtng out plans for his latest evil project.

"Then once the hypno-juice has been consumed by the unwitting populace, they will be under my control. I will use them to overthrew the governments of the world. Also because of it's cool image Daniel and his friends will have unknowingly drunk it and sealed their doom." said Vlad, the plan went on from there to show a drawing of Vlad on a throne with Maddie siting in his lap.

While he was creating his plan to doom our heros he did not notice the figure appear in his study. It walked up behind him and just as it was about to grab him Vlad finally noticed. He jumped over his desk and transformed, ready to face the attacker. When he turned around he saw a young man holding a large scythe standing in front of him.

"Who are you!" demanded Vlad.

"I am the one who brings death and destruction, the reaper of souls, the Angel of Death, I am the Grim Reaper." said Grim.

"What?" said Vlad.

"Figures he'd be stupid. I am the Grim Reaper, and I have come to take your immortal soul Vlad Masters." said Grim.

"Really? If you're the Grim Reaper then why aren't you a skeleton?" said Vlad.

"God damn it! Why is it every time I go to take a persons soul they always ask that question? Is the cloak and hood and the scythe not enough or something?" said Grim.

"Well if you are the Grim Reaper prove it." said Vlad.

"You want proof, I'll give you proof!" said Grim.

Suddenly he was surrounded by a swirling cloud of dark energy, then out of that rose a figure. The figure shot up to twenty feet high, nearly touching the ceiling. The figuree was a cloaked skeletal being with glowing red eyes. It held the a scythe in its two hands and it behind it teriiable flames bellowed and jumped, then it spoke.

"I AM THE DELIVERER OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION. I BRING THE SOULS OF MORTALS TO THEIR FINAL REST. I AM THE SOWER OF DOOM AND MISERY. I AM THE GRIM REAPER. ARE YOU READY TO MEET YOUR DOOM?" said the Transformed Grim.

"Nice show, but I've seen ghosts who can do that too." said Vlad as Grim turned back to normal.

"You're not impressed?" said Grim.

"No." said Vlad.

The Grim Reaper looked very upset, that trick usually convinced people he was the real deal. Then he saw a large potted plant sitting beside the desk next to him, a smile spread across his face.

"So you want more proof I am who I say I am?" said Grim.

"That would be nice." said Vlad.

"Well how about this?" said Grim, as he touched the plant.

Almost immediately the plant began to wither and die, turning into a crumbled pile of dry leafs. Vlad looked on in disbelief at the site, and for the first time he was truly frightened.

"Oh crap." said Vlad.

"I take it you never seen a ghost do that?" said Grim.

"You...you are the Grim Reaper." said Vlad.

"Yes I am, and as I said before I'm here for your immortal soul." said Grim.

"wh..why?" said Vlad.

"Because of the a certain event that happened where your ghost half and Danny Fenton's were merged together, forming a monster that destroyed the Earth in another time line." said Grim.

Vlad realized he was talking about the evil version of Daniel from the future, which he had found out about while spying on him.

"But why? Daniel defeated that evil version of himself, why do you need to take mine, and I assume his, souls?" said Vlad.

"Because my superior believes that as long as you exist there is still a danger that Dan Phantom might be born, and he asked me to stop it." said Grim.

"You mean God told you to do this?" said Vlad.

"No, the Angel of Life and Death." said Grim, as he moved toward Vlad.

"Wait! Maybe I can make it worth your while if you spare me and just take Daniel?" said Vlad.

"No can do, I have no need for your money, and besides I was directly ordered to do this, and I must obey that order." said Grim as he got closer.

"Wait! What about I play a game for my life?" said Vlad.

"We repealed that rule when too many people were winning." said Grim.

Grim was right in front of Vlad and about to rip his soul from his body when Vlad remembered his ghost powers. As Grim was about to grab him he turned intangible and sunk into the floor.

"Damn it! Where did he go?" said Grim.

He looked around for where Vlad might be, but Vlad was right behind him. Vlad powered up a ectoray and fired it at Grim. Caught off guard it hit him in the back and sent him crashing into a couch.

"I hate it when they don't come quietly." said Grim, as he rose to face Vlad.

Grim took out his scythe and pointed it at Vlad. A dark purple energy shot out of it and at Vlad. Vlad jumped out of the way just as it hit the wall, leaving a large hole where his head had been moments before.

"Give up Vlad, your facing death itself, you can't win." said Grim.

"That's what you think?" said Vlad, as he threw the desk at Grim.

Grim teleported out of the way of the desk, which kept going and smashed into the back wall. Grim then reappeared to face Vlad, but he was gone.

"Crap, he got away! But not for long." said Grim as he pulled out his DPA, or Death Personal Assistant.

With the tracking device in it he found that Vlad was heading away from the castle, and toward the town of Amity Park.

"Perfect, he's headed right to my next target, this will be like killing two ghosts with one scythe." said Grim as he disappeared, head toward Amity Park.

Meanwhile Vlad was flying at breakneck speed toward Danny's home town. He realized that he and Daniel were in extreme danger, and they may have to work together to save themselves.

"I hate to admit it, but the Grim Reaper is too strong. I need the help of Daniel and his friends, I just hope I can convince them." thought Vlad as he flew on.

Me: Wow, the specter of death is after Danny and Vlad, I wonder what will happen next?

Ember: You already know, you're the one writing this story.

Me: Oh right, I'll just do the chapter summery then.

It looks like Vlad had his brush with death, and from the look of things it ain't over yet. With Vlad speeding toward Amity Park and Grim right on his tail, who knows what will happen? Will they come up with a way to save their lives? Or will they be dragged into the afterlife? The only way to find out is to read chapter two of Danny Phantom Meets the Grim Reaper.

Me: Until next time Danny Phantom fans, Read and Review!
