Welcome to a new chapter. Last time, I left you in suspense as Danny's fate is left in question. Vlad was with him, but we don't really care about that guy. So let's see what happened to him!

Chapter 1: A Strange New World

He felt the wind touch his face and the sun shining on his face. Danny slowly opened his eyes, blinking a little to adjust to the light. He had black hair, blue eyes and pale skin, wearing a white shirt, jeans and red sneakers.

"What happened?" he groaned as he rubbed his eyes. Suddenly, he remembered the Disasteroid and the explosion. He quickly sat up, looking around in a panic. He suddenly noticed that he was in a forest with a river nearby. "Where am I? Is this heaven?"

He looked at his arm and pinched it, causing him to wince. "Nope, still…half-alive."

He suddenly noticed how small his arms and hands looked. He looked at the river and walked towards it. Staring at the watery surface, his eyes widened when he saw he age back five years. He was staring at a ten-year old face of Danny Fenton, staring at him with wide eyes. Across his right eye was a ragged wound that was half healed.

"What the heck happened to me?" he said as he touched his face to see if it was real. "Did I go back in time or something?"

He tensed when he heard some rustling on some bushes. He got on a defensive position as the rustling got louder. He may have aged backwards, but he can still fight. Suddenly, a strange creature walked out the bushes. It was completely black, somewhat furry and had a bone-like mask covering its face and snout. It was the size of a big dog, just reaching his hips.

The creature stared at Danny, a curious glint in its yellow eyes. After a while, Danny lowered his guard and looked at the strange creature.

"Hey there, little fella," Danny said as he tried to get closer to the creature. It backed up a bit, but didn't go. After a moment, Danny managed to pet the head of the creature. It was surprisingly fluffy. "What are you?"

Suddenly, the little creature tensed before he turned around and started whimpering. Confused, Danny looked at the direction where the creature was looking at. He saw a larger version of the creature, its body covered with bone-like armor, snarling angrily. It was the size of a school bus, easily towering Danny.

Danny tensed as the creature looked at him, like it was trying to figure out what he was. Then it turned its attention back to the small creature and snarled angrily. The small creature whimpered before it was swatted to the side by the bigger creature.

"Hey!" Danny exclaimed as the small creature slid to the ground, whimpering. The large creature ignored Danny and stalked towards the little creature.

Danny, feeling angry, transformed. The familiar halos of light appeared and traveled across his body. His clothes turned into the black hazmat suit, his hair white, eyes neon green and his skin became tanned. The large creature noticed the sudden light, so it turned and was met with a green blast face first.

"When I say hey, you listen," Danny growled as the creature shook the blast and growled back at him. It charged towards Danny and was about to slash at him, but Danny just turned intangible, letting the claws phase through him.

Danny then grabbed the creature by the armor and threw it to the air. His hands then glowed brightly before he released a strong ghost ray, disintegrating the beast. Danny watched in interest as the beast dissolved into shadows.

"What are they?" Danny mused before he turned back to the little creature, who seemed to be staring at him with curiosity. He walked towards the creature and saw that it seemed to be okay, aside from a few scratches. "Guess you're the runt of the litter, huh."

The creature just growled, but it was a friendly one.

"Well, guess we're stuck together," Danny said as he combed his hand over his hair. He stopped when he felt something ticklish on his head. He grabbed it and it sent a shiver down his spine. He used his other hand and found another fluffy thing on the other side.

He quickly ran towards the river and stared at his reflections. The he saw canine-like ears sticking out of his white hair, his eyes seemed to be in slits, there was a fang sticking out of his mouth. He looked at his hands and noticed claws sticking out of his gloves. Slowly, he looked at the bottom of his spine, and saw a bushy, white tail.

"WHAT HAPPENED TO ME!"

A Month Later…

Danny wiped the sweat off his head as he carried a deer carcass over his shoulder, his companion waking beside him, a dead rabbit in its mouth. For a whole month, he's been living in this strange world with his strange friend. After getting over the shock of getting animal features, he explored the place, finding out that he was on some island. His shirt was too big for him to wear, so he discarded it and used it as a bag. For his jeans, he just tightened the belt and rolled the sleeves so he won't step on it.

Not knowing what else to do, he decided to set camp in the island until he could think of what else to do. He found a cave he could shelter in and found some fruits and animals he could live on. His new friend, who he named Ebony, was a good companion, even when all it does was growl and howl.

And it seemed that his friend was a carnivore, eating only animals. Though it didn't seem like it needed to use the toilet, which was something he was grateful for.

He did remember wanting a puppy, so this was close enough.

"Wonder if there are other people out there," Danny mused as he looked at Ebony, who just tilted its head, yellow eyes staring curiously. For a week, he tried to figure out where he was. Three weeks ago, he figured out that he was still on Earth, due to seeing something in the night sky.

He saw the moon torn in half, something he remembered before the explosion. Did that mean he failed and everyone was gone? He didn't want to see. He was too afraid.

Danny shook his head and went to prepare the fire. Just as he was about to fire on the wood and leaves, a loud noise caught his attention. Alarmed, he and Ebony ran out their cave and looked at the sky. He saw some kind of flying airship landing towards the center of the island.

"So there might be others," Danny said, with a little hope in his voice. "Let's check it out, Ebony."

Ebony growled before they ran through the forest. After running through the forest, they stopped when they saw some people exiting the ship. His eyes widened when he saw three adults with animal features, two dogs and one bear, and one girl who seems to be twelve-years old.

The girl was pretty, with hair whiter than his Ghost form's and crystal-blue eyes. She was dressed in a white dress and her hair was done in a ponytail. His eyes narrowed when he noticed the girl was gagged and her arms tied behind her.

He then took closer noticed to the men. They were dressed in black clothes with white armor. The dog men had masks on over their hoods, their ears sticking out, while the bear wasn't. The bear guy was buff and mean looking, with bulging muscles and a nose ring on the center of his nose.

"HAHAHAHAA!" the bear guy exclaimed, enjoying the pure terror in the girl's eyes. "How does it feel to be helpless, Schnee girl? Not so fun, huh?"

He and the other two men laughed as the girl started crying. Danny's eyes hardened when he saw one of the men pull out a knife.

"How about we cut off a finger to send to your daddy?" he said with a sneer in his voice.

Having enough, Danny walked out of his hiding place, Ebony behind him. Everyone stopped when they heard him and stared at the stranger.

"You know, it's not nice to threaten girls," Danny commented as he held his hunting knife, which was made of Ghost ice.

"Who are you, human?" the man with knife questioned with a sneer.

"I'm just a stranded kid," Danny answered as he pointed his knife at the three men. "And you guys seemed to be kidnappers. So how about you let the girl go and you guys won't get hurt?"

The men stared at the shirtless boy in silence before they exploded in laughter. Danny just raised an eyebrow before the men stopped laughing.

"Look kid, just go before you get hurt," the man with the knife said as he took a step. He stopped when he heard a growl. He looked behind Danny and he took a step back when he saw Ebony growling at him with anger.

"A Grimm!" he exclaimed as he and the other men pulled out their weapons. The dog men had pulled out weird looking swords while the bull man grabbed an axe that looks mechanical.

"What's a Grimm?" Danny asked, tilting his head.

"That thing behind you!" dog man number two exclaimed.

Danny looked at Ebony, looking surprised. "So you're a Grimm. I always thought you were a mutated dog."

Ebony growled at him before growling angrily at the three men.

"You tamed a Grimm?" bear man said as he narrowed his eyes at Danny. "You're too dangerous to live. Kill him!"

Danny watched as the two men charged at him. He just stood ready as the first man swung his sword. Danny blocked with his knife before he grabbed the man by the shirt and threw him to the ground. He looked as the other man about to swing his sword when Ebony suddenly attacked him, sending the dog man on the ground, biting on his arm. The man screamed as he tried to remove the beast off him.

"Ebony, don't kill him!" Danny exclaimed. Ebony reluctantly let go as Danny rushed over and stomped on the guy's head, knocking him out.

He then looked at the bear man, who was staring at him wide eyes. Ebony growled at the man, but Danny signaled it to back down, which it did.

"You won't use your beast to attack?" bear man asked, feeling underestimated.

"I don't need Ebony's help to take you down," Danny said with a smirk that made the bear man angry.

"Your funeral, human brat," he said before pointing his axe at Danny. The young Halfa suddenly felt a spike of energy coming from the gun. Acting quickly, he jumped to the side, avoiding a bullet from the axe. The tree behind him was destroyed from the attack, being torn in two.

"That thing's a gun!?" Danny exclaimed, staring at the axe with wide eyes.

"Of course it is, brat," the bear man said with a sneer. With a roar, he charged at Danny, raising his axe to cut Danny in half. Danny dodged the attack and tried to stab the man in the arm, but he's skin was probably thick that it didn't graze him.

The bear guy then swatted Danny with his massive arms, sending him towards the tree. Danny winced as he felt his sides throb. It was weird, he should have shaken off an attack like that. It seems his body aging backwards made him a bit weaker.

"You're all talk, boy," the bear man said as he walked towards Danny, but stopped when Ebony bit his leg. The bear shook him off and was about to kill it when there was a bright light behind him. He turned, only to get blasted by a green ray.

He stumbled on his back before he looked at the boy. His eyes widened when he saw the boy in front of him, with white hair and green eyes. But what really got his attention were the canine ears, slit-eyes, fangs and a tail behind him.

"You're a Faunus?" he exclaimed in shock. "Why do you want to help this Schnee?!"

"A what?" Danny asked, looking confused. "What's a Faunus?"

"You don't even know your own kind!" bear man exclaimed angrily. "Die for betraying your race!"

Bear man swung his axe, hitting Danny across the waist. But the weapon phased through him. Wide eyes, he kept swinging his axe, but it was like hitting air. Danny suddenly caught the axe and the blade was covered in ice before he shattered it.

"W-w-w-who are you!?" bear man stammered, backing away from Danny.

"Call me, Danny Phantom," Danny said, his eyes glowing bright blue before he fired a blue ray at the bear man, trapping him in a block of ice.

He then looked at Ebony, who seemed to want to eat the unconscious dog men. It looked at Danny, a pleading look.

"No, you can't eat them," Danny said in a deadpanned tone. "They might upset your stomach."

Ebony whimpered, but stepped away from the dog men. Danny fired at their arms and legs, trapping them in ice. He then looked at the gagged girl, who was staring at him with wide eyes. Danny walked towards her and removed the gag.

"You okay there?" he asked gently.

"W-what are you?" the girl asked, slightly scared and in awe. Here was a boy two years younger than her and he beat up three White Fangs members, stopped a Grimm from eating the Faunus, and could turn into a Faunus.

"Me? I'm just a kid on an island," Danny said with a grin before he changed back to normal. "So who are you?"

"W-Weiss Schnee," the girl stammered, still wary of the mysterious boy.

"Weird name," Danny commented offhandedly. Weiss looked offended that this strange boy called her weird.

"My name isn't weird! Yours is!" Weiss exclaimed. "What kind of name is 'Danny?'"

Danny was surprised that she thought his first name was weird, not his second name.

"…You don't know who I am?" Weiss asked in a hesitant tone.

"Can't say I have," Danny said with a shrug as he undid her bindings. "I've always been on this island. I didn't even know there were other people out there."

"Really?" Weiss said with wide eyes. "You don't know about the Schnee Company? Or about the White Fang?"

Danny shook his head as Ebony sat on its hind leg, sitting next to Danny. Weiss couldn't help but stare at the Grimm. She never saw one before, only in books and videos. From what she can tell, this was a small Beowulf.

"So…why did these guys kidnapped you?" Danny asked, pointing at the beaten men.

"Because of my family," Weiss said. "The Schnee are famous for producing Dust."

"They want to kill you for making dirt?" Danny said in disbelief.

"Not dirt! Dust!" Weiss exclaimed, looking at Danny with wide eyes. "Dust is what gives energy to machines! It what powered the world and everything technological!"

"I see," Danny said, understanding it a bit, but not all. "So why kidnap you?"

"My family…has a very bad reputation towards…Faunus," Weiss said, looking down. "Because of the rumors and controversy about our use of Faunus labor. That made my family a target for the White Fang."

"And the White Fang is…?" Danny said.

"A terrorist group," Weiss said. "They fight for Faunus' rights by attacking humans, mainly those they believe abuse Faunus directly. It was because of this my Father distrust the Faunus…"

"Well…that doesn't mean they should get you involved," Danny said. "I mean; it's not like you were hurting those Faunus…"

"No! I never hurt any of them!" Weiss exclaimed. "But…they always give me dirty looks."

"Well, then just ignore them," Danny said with a shrug.

"Easy for you to say," Weiss said, glaring at Danny. "You have no idea how it feels to be hated for something you didn't do."

"Believe me, I know the feeling," Danny said, remembering how hard it was to be a Halfa, due to everyone hating his Ghost side. "So how about we get you home?" he pointed his thumb at the aircraft.

Weiss stared at the younger boy before she nodded. She walked back to the ship as Danny and his Grimm carried the three Faunus aboard. When she asked why they were taking them along, he said he couldn't leave them on the island full of Grimm.

Weiss then watched as Danny stared at the control, saying that it was easy to drive this. Soon, the aircraft was flying away from the island.

"So, where too?" Danny asked as he steered the aircraft.

"To Atlas," Weiss replied, looking out the window.

"And that would be where, exactly?" Danny asked. Weiss sighed, thinking this was going to be a long trip.

Later…

After a few U-turns, stops and going the right way, they finally made it near Atlas. Danny turned the auto pilot on before looking at Weiss, who was sleeping.

"Wakey, wakey, Weiss," Danny said, poking at the girl's cheeks. "We're here…at least, I hope we're here."

Weiss slowly woke up before she looked out the window. Her eyes widened when she saw that they were indeed near Atlas' border.

"Finally!" Weiss exclaimed in relief, happy to be back in familiar borders.

"So do we just land you here?" Danny asked as he petted Ebony on the head. "Or do we take you back home?"

"Wait, what are you gonna do with it?" Weiss asked, pointing at the Beowulf cub. "You can't let it go to Atlas! They'll kill it in sight!"

"But it's harmless…mostly," Danny said with a chuckle.

"It doesn't' matter! Huntsmen are trained to kill Grimms on sight!" Weiss exclaimed.

"Huntsmen?" Danny asked in a questioning tone.

Before Weiss could react to that, they heard a growl. They looked just as Ebony jumped on Danny.

"Hey!" Danny exclaimed in a surprised tone. Suddenly, Ebony started melting, covering Danny's body. A second later, Danny was wearing a black jacket with a white hood on it that was just his size. "Whoa! Cool! I didn't know Ebony could do that!"

"Me neither," Weiss said in awe as she stared at the jacket. They heard a growl from the jacket.

Suddenly, there was a loud boom from the side that shook the entire vehicle. Danny caught Weiss just as she was about to fall.

"What was that!?" she exclaimed as she steadied herself. Danny rushed towards the pilot's seat and saw that there were other aircrafts, firing at theirs.

"Why are they firing at us!?" Danny exclaimed.

"It's because this Bullhead is property of the White Fang!" Weiss exclaimed. There were a lot more explosions and shaking before Danny realized they didn't have enough time. Acting quickly, he tackled Weiss, turned themselves intangible and fell towards the sea, just as the Bullhead exploded.

The two were pushed forward by the shockwave of the explosion, sending them faster into the water. They fell in the sea with a large splash, followed by some wreckage and debris. They managed to resurface, gasping for air. They blinked when they realized the Bullheads were aimed at them, mostly at Danny, ready to fire.

"You people sure now how to welcome a guy," Danny commented to Weiss as a Bullhead flew towards them.

And there! Man, Danny just can't catch a break! He ages back, turns into a Faunus and gets fired by Bullheads. At least he has a pet Beowulf. He always wanted a puppy. It can also turn into a sweet jacket. So here he meets the W in RWBY! What's gonna happen next? You wanna find out, then wait for the next chapter. See you later!
