Chapter 2
Danny raced through the Amity Park skyline, trying to outmaneuver his persuer. Barely dodging an ecto-blast, Danny glared back at Skulker.
"You can't run from me forever, ghost child!" The hunter yelled in anger. "I will have your pelt!"
Danny just rolled his eyes. Two years and that's still gross.
Sensing another incoming blast, Danny spun around to face the attack and just as it was about to strike him, Danny disappeared and the blast hit nothing.
Skulker looked around furiously for his prey, when suddenly, the ghost boy materialized in front of him. His fist glowing with ectoplasm, Danny delivered s punch to Skulker's face. The strike blew Skulker's mechanical head clean off. Danny smirked as Skulker's suit fell from the sky and crashed into an alleyway, breaking the suit to pieces.
Landing near the wreckage, Danny looked down at the mess and smirked when a small green creature crawled out of it.
The thing shook its fist up at Danny. "You may have won again, ghost child, but I will never quit. As long as I exist, I will hunt you down, and your pelt will be mine! I will peruse you to the darkest corners of the earth and...
The whole time Skulker had been rambling, Danny pulled out the Fenton-Thermos, and pointed it down at the little pest. Skulker yelped when a green light shot out of the thermos and started to suck him in. Once the green ghost was secured in the thermos, Danny closed it.
"You never learn do you, Skulk." He said.
Aside from Skulker's persistence, it's attacks were now quite rare. After being defeated repeatedly by Danny, the ghosts of the Ghost Zone finally realized that Amity Park was no longer worth it. Even Vlad Masters had layed off for the time being. The old geezer hadn't tried to wreck Danny's life for the past year, and now, the only time Danny ever saw the other halfa was during press conferences. Now, Danny was able to dedicate more time to his friends, family, school, and relationship with Sam. In short, Danny's life had become much easier.
Putting the thermos away, Danny decided it was time to return home and raced off into the sky.
Below him, two seemingly human figures watched Danny fly away. Both were wearing simple civilian clothes, but thst was merely mesnt to disguise their true personas. One figure, a man with jet black hair and black eyes snarled at the ghost boy and stepped forward. But his companion, a curvy and pale skinned blonde woman grabbed his shoulder to stop him. The man growled at her, but she was unfazed.
"Not yet, Blackheart." Claire said. "Mephisto said he isn't to be harmed."
"But the Ghost Child is so close." The demon said from within his human form. "To just let him leave is so outrageous!"
Claire smirked. "You're dad was right. You do have much to learn. Stick with me and there may be some hope for you."
Blackheart sneered at his cohort. "Fine, then. So what do we do now?"
Claire smirked again, gazing off at Amity Park's mayor's office.
"We find an inside source."
ooooo
Agent Natasha Romanoff exited the airport and into the tow of Amity Park. She frowned at it all, finding that the whole town looked like one big pisshole. The ghost attacks really wasted the whole place.
But now onto business. She to find more information on this 'ghost boy'. From what Fury told her, he had become enigmatic since the ghost attacks stopped, and was now only seen on a few rare occasions.
The Black Widow thought over Fury's instructions. After she checked into her hotel, she needed to find Jack Fenton and look into his ghost related technologies. Hopefully that would provide some sort of lead.
Seeing a taxi pull jump, Natasha loaded her suitcase and got into the passengers seat.
ooooo
Danny flew through his window and into his room, and with a flash,Mateo rings floated over his body and he was human again.
Moments later, there was a knock on his door.
Danny smiled. "Come in, Jazz!"
Danny's sister entered his room, giving her little brother a smile.
"Hi, Danny."
Danny sat on his bed and set the thermos down. Jazz looked at it in surprise.
"You caught one today?" Jazz asked, and Danny nodded. "Who was it?"
Danny rolled his eyes. "Just Skulker again. No one else has the balls to come to Amity anymore."
Jazz shook her head. "God he just wont quit."
"Tell me about it." Danny said. "But hey, better him than Plasmius, right?"
Jazz smiled. "Right. What happened with him anyway?"
Danny shrugged. "Dunno. After me and Valerie stopped him during the whole clone thing, he just kinda quit on us."
"Oh yeah." Jazz said, remembering that day. She looked at her brother wiqth sad eyes. "Danny, I'm sorry about Danielle."
Danny looked down remorsefully. "So am I. She didn't deserve any of that."
Seeing her brother said, Jazz decided to change the subject. "What about Valerie? How is she doing now that she knows your secret?"
"She's doing okay. Now that she got over that grudge she had against me, she's decided to layoff ghost hunting." Danny said, smiling. "She's been helping her dad get back to his feet again. Things are looking up for them now."
Jazz smiled. "That's good. They've been through enough."
"Yeah." Danny said thoughtfully.
As the two siblings sat in silence, Jazz looked up.
"Danny, when are you going to tell mom and dad?"
Danny frowned. "I don't know, sis. Soon, maybe."
"They'll understand, Danny. They'll have to."
"But what if something happens?"
"Danny, your grades have improved, you have Sam as a girlfriend, Valerie is done, the ghost attacks have stopped, and Vlad's gone under. What could possibly go wrong?"
Before Danny could respond, the voice of their mother, Maddie, spoke up from downstairs.
"Jazz, Danny! Come downstairs, we have a guest!"
Jazz and Danny exchanged confused looks, and went downstairs.
And there's chapter two. Just to clarify, Phantom Planet never happened, and Dani Phantom is dead. Sorry Dani fans, but that's how this story goes.
