Chapter one
The arrival of the unknown figure
Danny, Tucker and Sam were wandering down the streets of Amity Park smiling and waving as people clapped and cheered for it was Danny's quick thinking and brilliant idea that saved the world. Though of course he had to revel his secret identity to every one in the world including the United Nations, and the guys in white. And he was surprised that his parents (Jack and Maddie, are ghost hunters) took it so well, they did not do experiments on him, nor did they test him to figure out how Danny was given his ghostly powers, and for that Danny was very thankful that they just treated him the same way they had always did (now with the occasional job of being his dad's sidekick) and He, Danny, was filled with an eternal happiness that everyone was on his side, no one was hunting him (except for Skulker.), and that he was a world wide hero! And as if things could not get any better, Sam was now his girlfriend. She was always wearing the ring Danny had given her the night of when his statue was reveled to the town square and whenever he saw it he knew that he was a true hero. Danny walked up to the statue of himself and stared up at it. His statue stood high above the crowds, the ghost half of himself was a spitting image of himself. He stood proud and tall (Danny felt foolish when ever he walked up to it, but he also felt very proud at this monument that was in his honor), holding the globe high above his head. Danny smiled to himself as he read the inscription engraved in solid 24-karat gold,
"To Danny Fenton/Phantom, A teenager that risked his life to save our fair city as well as the entire world. From the world".
Thanks to the asteroid Danny no longer had to hide in the shadows and transform he could just do it out in the open and he was still getting used to his new freedom but enjoying it nonetheless.
It was three days after the fact that Danny (along with thousands of other ghosts) had saved the world from a giant asteroid that was going to destroy the earth and Danny was receiving praise for his heroic deed. He got to meet the President who had given Danny his very own space station and a rocket named "Danny Phantom/Fenton" was included in the deal as well as free astronaut training and also becoming a certified astronaut, Danny was speechless at the time he kept thanking the president for everything, the president merely remarking,
"It was the least I can do to thank you."
But that was not all that he had received. From France, He had a worldwide holiday, from the United Kingdom, He was knighted by the queen personally as "The World's protector" and he had a Badge of bravery , and From Japan, a Personalized Video Game console that was black and had his symbol in the top, as well as a Personalized game for the console that had him on the front, From China he received a ninja outfit with specially designed weapons, along with Chinese characters that spelled his name, from all over the world these gifts of thanks came and Sam and Tucker were also being rewarded in their own ways from every country around the world.
Danny was soon at the porch of his house and walked inside, and climbed the stairs to his bedroom. Danny closed the door behind him and walked to his bed and lay there for several hours daydreaming and soon he fell asleep. The next morning, Danny awoke and rushed downstairs to the porch and saw Sam and Tucker waiting for him. The Casper high dance (Danny's worldwide hero/savior) was steadily approaching and they were talking about what they might wear. Soon however Danny stopped talking and listen to what he thought was something or someone flying and either singing or humming, overhead he tilted he head to the sky but saw nothing there, so he shrugged and followed his friends. Again Danny stopped to the sound of footsteps walking behind him he turned and again saw nothing, unknown to him a cloaked figure was indeed following him it's face covered with the darkness of the cloak's hood. When Danny arrived home, he did not notice the figure sitting on the edge of the o.p. center's rim its cloak rippling in the wind.
"Danny," Sam looking up at the cloaked figure
"Yea" Danny replied
"Look up dude." Tucker said in a worried voice
Danny looked at the cloak sitting it's face well hidden by the hood.
"Hey!" Danny yelled to it, but it did not move.
He ran up to the o.p. center and stared out to the figure sitting calmly outside.
"How did it get out there?" Danny asked himself looking for a way out, but the only way was to phase through the windows and walk to it.
As soon as he stood right behind it he yelled "Hey!" to the figure.
It jumped in surprise at the sudden intrusion, Danny walked closer to the figure and with every step Danny took toward it, it took a step back soon it's feet were close to the edge, one more step and it would fall to the sidewalk below. Danny walked toward it and it stepped back lost it's balance and screamed silently as it slowly fell to the ground below, Danny caught it by the hand and helped it up and pulled it toward him. The thing trembled in fear but looked at the face of its rescuer, it's face still hidden by the cloak. He flew it into his room and set it on his bed and transformed into his human form, the figure gasped silently. Just then Sam, and Tucker burst into the room, staring at the figure now sitting on Danny's bed staring back at them.
"Is it a ghost?" Sam asked,
Danny shook his head
"No, my ghost sense would have gone off if it was." he said to them.
Danny sat beside the thing as it looked at the floor.
"Hey you, um.." Danny started to say but the figure stood quickly and ran to a corner and sat in a fetal position.
Danny stared at it then back at Sam and Tucker who shrugged in confusion. Danny stood and walked around his bed and approached the cloak.
"It's ok," he said calmly, reassuringly to the creature,
"I won't hurt you." he said holding his hand out to help it to its feet.
Suddenly, it started to reach toward his hand hesitated then grabbed Danny's hand. He helped it to its feet and walked it to his bed again and sat the trembling thing next to him.
"Who, what is it?" Sam asked Danny.
Danny shrugged as it suddenly hugged him tightly.
"Ok.." Danny said staring at it and hugging it in return,
It then ran to Tucker and hugged him, and Tucker hugged it in return, it turned to Sam and hugged her too.
When that was over, it ran to the door and closed it behind them and shut the windows and blinds leaving them in complete darkness. Danny held an orb of his own energy to give them some light.
"What is all this for?" Danny demanded,
The thing used its finger to indicate a pen and it's other hand to indicate paper, Danny handed it a pen and paper and it wrote a message and handed it to Danny, Danny stared at the message
"I wanted to show you and your friends first." It read.
Danny stared in curiosity as the cloaked thing sat next to Danny again, His curiosity getting the better of him, Danny grabbed the things hands, and turned it toward him so that they were staring eye to eye, and asked
"May I?" and indicated to the hood of the figure.
It nodded and Danny reached for the hood.
