I don't own Danny Phantom or History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi.

"I still say it seems kinda suspicious that this guy Masters contacted us the very day we needed to get to his home town." Kenichi complained for the hundredth time in the past few days. Kensei sighed.

"Kenichi, Kenichi, Kenichi, what am I going to do with you. You are on a cruise ship. You get a week off training because the captain threatened to report us to the police after the first day, AND MIU IS IN A BIKINI 10 FEET AWAY FROM YOU! You are complaining why?" Kenichi looked contemplative but not convinced. Kensei sighed. "Look, Kenichi, It's just a coincidence, and even if it's more than that it's just as likely that the Reaper foresaw this and that's why he told us to go when he did. There is no conceivable way that Masters knew that we needed to go to Amity Park. We didn't know until three days ago. Now, for the last time: MIU IS IN A BIKINI!" he grabbed Kenichi's head and turned it towards the aforementioned busty blond. Kenichi turned red and started smiling in a subtly disturbing manner.

"You're right, master, I think I can manage to make the best of it."All the while the Miu was fuming and pretending she couldn't hear the very loud references to her state of dress and fighting the urge to cover up from the attention she was sure Kensei was attracting to her. If it'll get Kenichi to stop moping I can deal with it. Waa! "I can put up with having my body stared at if it'll make Kenichi happy"? I don't like the implications of that! Kenichi, you cheer up quickly so I can teach Kensei a lesson!

"Apapa! That was fun! Apachai will have to thank Masters for not making me fly in a plane!" Apachai said as they headed for the hotel suites that had been paid for by Vlad. For a brief moment Kenichi was very happy when there was a momentary confusion as to why there were 8 people instead of 6, as Kenichi and Miu apparently hadn't been expected, and it looked like they would share a room, but a quick call to Vlad (and the Elder's imposing presence) got two extra rooms in record time. The young Latina woman behind the front desk, who couldn't be more than 17, pulled Miu aside as she was about to leave with the others.

"Does Gramps get between you and your boyfriend often? Don't worry, I set you two up with two connected rooms." She winked.

"What! No, we're not dating or anything! He's like a little brother to me!" Miu said frantically, face turning red and waving her arms. The woman's eyes lit up

"Oh really? Your tone says otherwise, but if you're sure, do you think you could get me his number? How long are you guys staying?" Miu smiled dangerously at the girl as the air around her quivered.

"Oh I'm sorry, he doesn't speak English. Besides I don't think you're quite his type" the girl shrunk back quickly.

"Right. Well if you need anything don't hesitate to call me at the front desk. My name's Paulina by the way" she pointed at her breast where her name tag would be were it not pinned to the other side of her uniform "Your um family is probably waiting for you. Have a nice stay!" Miu's demeanor lightened immediately

"Domo arigato Paulina chan!" she bowed and practically skipped off. Paulina breathed a sigh of relief when she was out of sight

"Damn, and here I thought Fenton and the freak were in denial. Big boobed psycho bitch" Paulina shook her head and acted alert, ready to greet the next guest. Her daddy may have gotten her the job at his hotel after he cut of her allowance after that party got out of hand, but setting up the "couple's" rooms was enough job- jeopardizing rebellion for one day.

The night went without incident and the next day the members of the dojo finally met with the mayor. They got to city hall and saw a middle aged man in a black suit, with silver hair pulled back into a pony tail. He had a piercing gaze, much more so than Kenichi had expected to see on anyone who wasn't a martial artist. It was the same sort of look Niijima got at times, except darker and calmer, and this man actually had the maturity and resources to back up the megalomania.

"Welcome, Welcome! So this is the Famous Ryōzanpaku Dojo, I am honored! I see you brought your students as well? Unexpected but welcome nonetheless! Would you like anything to eat or drink? No? Then let's get down to business. You know that you were hired to get rid of public enemy number one, Danny Phantom, to be paid one million US dollars upon completion; and that price is negotiable. I have told you briefly of his crimes, but the thing I didn't say directly is that he is, in fact, a ghost. Now before you say anything, I do realize that most people outside my city regard the paranormal activity within as a hoax. I guarantee you it is not. Here is a file on Phantom. Review it at your discretion. Let's watch some video footage of the 'ghost boy' in action" with the press of a button a massive television rose out of the floor and video started to play. The video was mostly news footage, but what was surprising was that Masters was not blatantly trying to sway them one way or the other as to whether or not Phantom was the "Bad guy". There was footage of him robbing a jewelry store, then of him rescuing a child from a burning building. He held the previous mayor hostage, and then he saved a bus of senior citizens. "As you can see, the public controversy as to whether he is a villain or a hero is not unfounded. But here is something the general public has never seen. A few weeks ago, Phantom was spotted out in a desert, far from the city, apparently training. My sources managed to follow him." The footage changed to a somewhat shaky view of the ghost boy going through what seemed to be a routine check of his powers. He shot various targets that he set up. He fashioned various weapons out of ice and a strange green substance Masters identified as ectoplasm. He flew very, very quickly; the video zoomed in at the speedometer he set up that read 300mph (he did a childish victory dance after that). He then split his form into one… two… three... four… as he tried to make a fifth his body simply contorted and various body parts sprouted from others in a grotesquely comical fashion. Miu squealed and covered her eyes. "As you can see, his powers are limited but growing. My resources report that within the past year his body did that when he tried to form even one double. The ice generating ability is even newer, and 300mph, or roughly 483km/hr, is a new record for him. But this is the portion of the video that prompted me to bring in the big guns, if you will, and hire you." Phantom regained his single form and stowed all the equipment he had in a box, which he then turned intangible and stuck in the ground. He walked about twenty feet away from it and took a slight stance, feet firmly on the ground. He took in a deep breath… and wailed. A giant blast radiated from his mouth and shook the very air. The audio cut off after a few seconds and the picture was lost after the camera apparently fell a few seconds later. "Luckily that was from a small mechanical bug so there was no camera man to be injured. That was the ground view. We were lucky enough to also get a satellite video" the static switched to a video of the same seen, but from so far above phantom was merely a dot. But his size was insignificant once the shockwave came. It wasn't quite visible as green waves as is had been in the ground footage, but a green tinge was still there. The ground in front of Phantom was torn to up easily. The footage was frozen when the blast was at its largest and a scale was added to the image. "That one blast extended approximately 8 kilometers and hit an area of over 50 square kilometers. The force exceeded that of a category 5 hurricane and the resulting tremors were detected by seismographs in the closest three cities, albeit barely. Now, I will leave the decision of hero or villain to you; the absolute truth is that no one is entirely sure of his motivation. That is part of the problem. He's a loose cannon, and hero or not he's made mistakes before and he can do it again. His power is immense and only increasing, and thus so are the consequences of the next time he decides he's bored with playing hero. I couldn't call myself a responsible leader if I let a sentient weapon like Phantom roam around the city unchecked. If at all possible, capture him and bring him to me. If not… make sure we never see phantom's face again, by any means necessary. Any questions?" As Akisame translated the last of his speech Kenichi looked confused.

"\\Wait, you don't want one 'sentient weapon' in your city so you invite six more? You haven't heard much about the masters, have you? \\" Kenichi said and earned a whack on the head from Kensei. Luckily Vlad just looked confused.

"Kenichi is merely expressing confusion as to why you felt it necessary to in invite all six of us for this. He knows his masters' abilities and finds it excessive" Akisame paraphrased.

"Well my motivation is twofold, one, I was unsure whether you would believe me concerning the ghosts, and more people meant that if one or two of you declined I'd still have quite the fighting force; two, phantom has been known to play and fight on a psychological level; he's constantly in dialogue with the ghosts he fights, for example. Even if one of you could do the job on your own, all six of you fighting him would have much more of an effect on him."

"Well, this is an unorthodox enemy, so I suppose an unorthodox approach is in order. It seems the local high school is a favorite battleground. Do you think that Miu and Kenichi could enroll temporarily for reconnaissance?"

"If you're sure they can handle a confrontation with Phantom, yes. I take it that means you accept the job?" Kenichi panicked instantly and started crying, while Miu looked excited.

"\\Come on Kenichi, don't you think it'll be interesting to go to an American school? \\" she lowered her voice slightly "\\Besides, this'll be a chance for us to look for the new disciple.\\" He calmed down as the words sunk in.

"Yes. We accept." The Elder said.

"Excellent. You two will start school at Casper high this upcoming Monday. For now enjoy the hotel, prepare however you see fit, and if you happen to run into Phantom ahead of schedule feel free do as you please. If you feel you need any sort of equipment be sure to let me know. It will be supplied to you." The members of Ryōzanpaku bowed and left. Vlad chuckled darkly. "I surprise even myself. Most of what I said was actually the truth! Who would have thought I could actually convince a group of mercenaries to take out a fifteen year old boy without them even realizing it! I've got you this time, Danny. Watch out, little badger. MWAHAHAHAHA—" The doors burst open

"Apa! Apachai almost forgot! Apachai hates planes, so thank you for bringing us by boat!" he turned and left.

"…where was I… oh yeah—HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

A big thanks to Cap. Dead beard, Leo112 and drkphoenx for reviewing, and to all those who favorited and/or added the story to their alerts!

Correct me If I'm wrong, the area of the ghostly wail should be over fifty; the wail goes out like a sector of a circle, it extended 8 kilometers, let's say it went out forming a right angle for simplicities sake. A= πr^2 ; A= π(8)^2 ; A=64π the sector is 90 degrees so it is 90/360= 1/4 of the area of the circle= A/4; (64π)/4 =16 π =50.. I used kilometers because that's what the Japanese characters would better grasp. The American equivalent is just under 5 miles and just over 20 square miles. Tell me if you think I should make it more and I will. When Danny used it in the Ultimate Enemy, It only went down the block, really. Yet Dark Dan wailed and it hit the entire city, albeit somewhat weakly. I think this is healthy medium

Damn, who'd have thought so much thought could go into one little detail mentioned in passing. Oh and don't look into Miu's thoughts in the first paragraph too much, I just realized roughly the same thing as I was writing it and had to put it in; Miu realizes that Kensei is just trying cheer up Kenichi and doesn't want to interfere, but when you put that sentiment into words it sounds a little weird.

Oh, and I'm not sure if Miu speaking English is canon but it makes sense to me, she's smart enough and she traveled a lot in her youth.

I almost forgot that Apachai said he'd thank Vlad, so that wound up stuck in at the end as a sad attempt at humor.

And please read and vote on the poll I made!
