-Chapter 1-
The ghost that had helped Danny with Johnny 13 was all over the news, though it seemed that every shot was to blurry to focus on the thing properly. There were already thoughts on it being a new friend of Danny's, however when questioned, Danny admitted he'd never seen the ghost before in his life. Many rumors started to pop up, and the most common was that it could have been Danny from an alternate universe, given the thing's logo. When Danny discussed this with Sam and Tucker however, they were quite sarcastic
"Oh, so a ghost that just happens to have your logo pops up and suddenly everyone jumps to the conclusion that it's an alternate version of you?" Sam said, and Danny put his hands up in mock surrender. "I'm just saying Sam! It's a possibility that I'm willing to look at, expecially since we have no other leads." Danny said, sighing as Sam rolled her eyes. "Actually, Danny could be right on this one Sam." Tucker said and when both of them looked at him questionly, he shrugged. "I mean seriously, the same colors, the same logo, heck for all we know it could even have the same powers. For now, I suggest we try and research this thing. We still don't even know what it's here for."
Sam sighed in defeat. Tucker was right. Danny suddenly thought back to the fact that each shot of the ghost was too blurry to focus properly. "Hey Tuck, did you happen to be able to get the ghost's ectosignature on radar?" He asked, and when Tucker shook his head, Danny thought about that. "I wasn't able to get a reading on it at all. I could find yours and Johnny 13's ectosignature, but the other ghost never even showed up on my radar."
"So basically it doesn't have an ectosignature?" Sam said and Danny shook his head. "That can't be possible, it was clearly able to use ghost powers which means it's got some sort of ability to hide it's ectosignature. What I want to know is where the heck it came from. That's not ordinary resident of the Ghost Zone, and I should know." Danny said, thinking about what the heck the new ghost could be.
"So what? We're just going to wait around till it show's up again?" Sam said, and Danny sighed. "To be honest Sam, I have no idea." Danny said, just as a blue whisp came from his mouth, indicating a nearby ghost. "But something tells me we're about to find out." Danny said, taking off towards where he heard people screaming. As he ran, he activated his ghost powers and the white ring surrounded his waist. "Goin' Ghost!" He said, jumping into the air and turning Phantom.
Flying up to get a better look, Danny saw the bladed ghost from earlier, as well as Skulker, who was fighting with the bladed ghost. "Just as I thought." Danny said, charging up an ecto-ray in his hand. "Hey Skulker! I see you found a new friend to hunt. Does that mean your leaving me?" He said, shooting the ecto-ray as Skulker, who was blown back by the surprise attack. He quickly regained himself however, and turned to face Danny. "Ah, the ghost-child, my favorite prey." Skulker said, shooting a blast at Danny, who dodged with ease.
"I'll take that as a no." Danny said, his hands glowing blue as he shot an ice beam at Skulker, who dodged this attack, only to get hit with a ice beam from behind, freezing his jet pack solid. Danny looked around Skulker to see the bladed ghost shooting a ice beam from it's mouth at Skulker. "So it seems I have a friend." Danny said, grinning at Skulker, who's suit was beginning to freeze solid. Charging up an ecto-ray, Danny shot it at Skulker, shattering the now frozen suit of armor. The true Skulker fell from the now destroyed suit, and Danny easily caught him in the Fentom Thermos.
Looking towards the bladed ghost again, Danny flew over, eager to get some questions answered. "Well, Thank's for the help there with Skulker, and the help with Johnny 13, but I do need to ask a question. Who are you?" Danny said, hoping to get an answer before the ghost disappeared. Much to Danny's surprise, instead of talking, Danny heard the ghost's voice in his head. -I am Dusk. I suppose you must be the one known as Danny Phantom?- The bladed ghost said, and Danny nodded. "Dusk huh? How exactly did you get here, and what is with your aura? I've never seen a ghost with a black aura." Danny said, but their conversation was stopped short when Dusk suddenly perked up.
-I must go now, but perhaps we will meet some time again. With all the ghosts here, it's sure to happen.- Dusk said, turning intangible and jumping through the ground. "Wow, Dusk's even better at dramatic exits than Dani." Danny muttered, flying back to where Sam and Tucker were waiting. "Well guys, it seems our new ghost is a friend, named Dusk. And it seems to be on Skulker's list too."
That's all for this chapter! It's shorter than I would have liked, but hopefully the next chapters will be longer
