(Duster's POV)

I groaned as a student shook my head and slammed the door to my classroom behind them, angry I suspended them from whatever extracurricular activities they were in, and I shook my head. "I knew there was a reason I never became a full time teacher in any of my other lives."

"Then quit," said Stocking on my communicator. "It's not like you need the money anyways."

"Maybe not, but I do need something to do between Gareth's manic missions. Seriously a goddamn shit ghost?! What the hell's up with this world?!"

"Welcome to the meeting point of Heaven and Hell," said Garterbelt.

"Get off my damn coms, Garter! This is a private conversation!"

"Not until you know that the girls are heading to your school! They're going to be posing as students while they hunt for the ghost there!"

"Tell Panty to keep her legs crossed while she's here. I don't need a bunch of lustful students in my classes. Strike that, I don't need anymore lustful students in my classes."

"I'll try and see if I can get my sister to not gobble down any piece of meat she sees," said Stocking.

"Please and thank you, pointless as it may be." I shut off my coms and went to the hallway, causing several students to stop whatever questionable activities they were doing. I made my way to the cafeteria as one of the students ran up to me.

"Mr. Mason," said Asuka Ishida as she caught up. "What subjects are we going over in class today?"

"Pacific battles of the second World War and their impact on the war itself. Chapter 13, if you remember."

"Thank you, Mr. Mason!"

"And Ms. Ishida, has Mr. Yamashita been bothering you?"

"He's stopped, thank god! Thank you for that."

"No problem. Brats like him need a reminder they're not better because they have money. But I'm concerned that he may get bold once I leave this school. How do you feel about taking some self defense lessons in case that happens?"

"Are you sure? I don't want to take up too much of your time."

"It wouldn't be just you. Multiple people have expressed concern about the amount of bullying in the school. I plan on changing that. Classes start next week after classes on Wednesday. Show up if you're interested."

"OK, Mr. Mason!" She ran off and I watched the students as they went about their conversations eating their breakfast.

"Ara, ara. You're very popular, aren't you," asked someone behind me. I turned around and saw Kurumi standing in front of me, wearing the school uniform, her hair covering her clock and her sweet persona plain as day. I blushed as she smiled at me.

"You really know how to get to me, don't you?" She smiled and walked away, her mere presence getting the attention of myself and several boys, as well as a few girls, as she did. I shook my head to clear my thoughts and popped my neck. 'Maybe having her help here was a slightly bad idea. Can't get anything done if I'm being distracted whenever Kurumi is nearby.' I looked around the cafeteria and grabbed my duster before turning it into a shield and throwing it at a student who was attempting to light up a cigarette behind a pillar hoping I didn't spot him. "No smoking! First warning!" The boy ran off, his lighter dropped to the ground. I called back my duster and made it vanish before going to pick up the lighter.

The bell rang and I made sure the students went to class and weren't trying to head to wherever they wanted. The day was going well until just before lunch when the Anarchy sisters arrived, nearly hitting Brief with See Through if I hadn't moved him out of the way. "Bad stuff really seems to happen to you, huh?" He nodded and I handed him a charm. "For luck, Mr. Rock."

"I think I'll need more than a good luck charm, sir."

"Trust me on this. That's exactly what you need. Now get to where you were going, Mr. Rock." He nodded and ran off. I turned to the sisters as they climbed out of See Through. I went over to them. "And you must be the Anarchy sisters. Panty and Stocking."

"What up, Teach," said Panty with a careless grin. I growled and kicked the door to the driver seat, making a dent. "Hey! What the hell?!"

"Get your damn car out of my school and report to my classroom. Immediately." Panty sweated a bit before getting back in See Through and backing out of the school. I turned to Stocking who was trying her hardest not to blush. "I hope this won't be a… recurring thing with you two."

"It won't be."

"Good. I'd hate to have to… punish you." She rubbed her thighs together and was about to reach for me to drag me away when Kurumi strolled over to her.

"Hello. We really shouldn't bother Mr. Mason. Since I transferred here, I've learned he can be a bit cranky when he's hungry." I gave her a look as I saw her hand slip into Stocking's blouse, hidden from view of everyone else.

"Both of you, get to class. And Ms. Anarchy, see that your sister behaves."

"Yes, sir." She swatted Kurumi's hand away, a blush covering her face as Kurumi giggled. I shook my head as they walked away, Panty hurrying behind them. With no Queen Bee around to challenge them as they slack off and start gaining popularity. It's not long before they find the ghost, a pathetic ghost made from a virgin geek who died of a heart attack while… admiring some erotic art… poor perverted bastard. Kurumi lured him into the girls locker room after school where he fell into an ambush set up by Panty and Stocking. Stocking got in the final blow and I waited for them out in the hallway. She grumbled as she held half a coin in her hand.

"Wow," I said. "What a worthless ghost. Almost feel sorry for him. Almost." Kurumi and Stocking hugged my arms, smiling as Panty looked annoyed.

"What's got you down," asked Stocking as she turned to her sister. "Jocks turn out to be another let down?"

"I think she's pissed because Phoenix is always turning her down," said Kurumi as she threw her arms around my neck. "I think it shows he has standards." Panty growled and stomped away. "Did I strike a nerve?"

"I think you did," I said. My com beeped and I pulled up my screen to see what was going on. I stopped short when I spotted Delta's screen showing nothing but red cleavage behind a tan uniform. "Dammit. How?" Kurumi looked at the footage and saw Scanty back away from the camera on Delta after she tried pinning something to the wall above the drone.

"Ara, ara. Phoenix, you naughty boy."

"Shut up… I set this one down in front of their bedroom with a mic set to activate in case certain words were spoken. As well as a motion triggered sensor to activate the camera in case Delta or Theta see anything in particular. Theta is set up in the main foyer of their manor."

"So why is Delta set up in front of their room," asked Stocking.

"Where else would you feel safe speaking about your secrets?"

"I guess…" I looked at the camera feed and turned on the microphone to try and listen in.

"So, who is this man who's caught your eye, dear sister," said Kneesocks off camera. We saw Scanty blush.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Don't play coy with me, sister. You've been distracted. On occasion you blush when your thoughts trail off. And I know it's not about me. So, who's caught your eye?" I watched as she moved to their bedroom door to talk with her sister.

"It's… Mr. Mason…"

"Sister! He's our teacher! It's against the rules!" I heard Stocking growl next to me and squeezed her waist slightly.

"I know, but… there's something about him. I can't get him out of my mind! And I doubt I'll ever want to…"

"You should," said a voice out of the cameras view. I recognized it but couldn't place it. "His name is Phoenix Mason. And he's a threat to my plans. I saw Scanty grasp at her throat, Kneesocks rushing to her side in panic. "Do try and put him from your thoughts, Ms. Daemon. Unless you wish to die, that is." Footsteps sounded as whoever attacked Scanty walked away. I shut down Delta and racked my brain.

"Who was that?"

"Whoever it was, they're powerful," said Kurumi.

"How did they do that," asked Stocking.

"That's what I want to know," I said. I turned to the girls. "Head back to the church. I'm going to do some recon."

"Be careful," said Kurumi. "We don't know who's here, that makes them dangerous."

"I know, Kurumi. It's not my first rodeo." I kissed them both before we separated, and I made my way to where I knew the manor was. I looked around at the manor and sighed. "I'm really going to hate this." I pressed the button on the front gate intercom and waited.

"Who may I ask is here," said an elderly voice on the intercom.

"I'm Phoenix Mason. I'm a teacher for Scanty and Kneesocks Daemon. I'd like to have a word with them about their tardiness."

"Come right through." The gate opened and I made my way up to the manor where their elderly butler was waiting at the door. "Miss Scanty and Miss Kneesocks are currently in the bath. If you would, please wait for them in the sitting room. It is down the hall behind me and is the first door on your left."

"Thank you." I made my way to the room and put myself in the lotus position to meditate. I separated my spirit from my body and sent it to explore the manor. I looked around and found no presence that shouldn't be here. I couldn't even find Corset. I tried looking for a basement and found a massive pool sized bathtub. 'Ok. Talk about lavish.' I got close to the empty container and peered close at the side. 'Is that blood? This must be where Corset plans on opening the Hell Gate.' I looked around and found something. 'What the? Is that a Boom Tube device?' Feeling someone getting close to my body, I returned to it and opened my eyes to see Scanty sitting in front of me, wearing nothing but a towel.

"Hello, Mr. Mason."

"Ms. Daemon. Shouldn't you be properly dressed before meeting a guest?"

"I'm afraid you caught us on short notice, and I hate to keep a guest waiting."

"Will your sister be joining us?"

"She's finishing off her bath and then will dress before coming here."

"Then perhaps you should dress as well. This is a discussion I need to have with both of you. It's about your continued nonattendance."

"I apologize for that. We've been rather sick, you see."

"Do you have any proof of this?" I saw her reach between her breasts and pull out a slip of paper.

"Sorry if it's wet." I looked at the note and saw it was a doctor's note, stating they'd come down with the flu, their excuse for missing as many days as they did.

"Well, you're prepared, aren't you?"

"We suspected you'd come visit after you warned us about missing school. We were returning soon, but first we needed to get well."

"I see… well then. I suppose I should just hand you your assignments so you can catch up. Then I'll be on my way."

"Wait!" I turned to her as she tried composing herself after her outburst. "W-won't you stay for some tea? I had our butler start a fresh pot."

"You seem eager to keep me here, Ms. Daemon."

"I…I'm simply being a humble host."

"And yet your body language and… choice of clothing, suggest you're trying to seduce me." I saw her blush make her cheeks turn a shade of pink and stood up. I handed her a packet filled with her and her sisters school assignments and leaned in close. "Because that would be against the rules." I felt her shiver as I pulled away and stepped out of the room, making my way for the front door.

"Oh, hello, Mr. Mason." I turned around and spotted Kneesocks in a black and white outfit.

"Ms. Daemon. I've just handed your sister your assignments for while you're both sick. I was just on my way out."

"Please stay. Our butler has just made tea. We'd be horrible hosts if we didn't offer it."

"Your sister has already offered, and I respectfully declined. I am unfortunately busy and need to be on my way."

"It won't be longer than just a couple of minutes." I checked my watch.

"Fine. Just a few minutes. And, do make sure your sister is properly dressed. When she greeted me, she was wearing only a towel." Kneesocks blushed before clearing her throat.

"I'll talk with her about that. Please wait in our dining room. It's just through here." She gestured to a door behind her. I nodded and stepped through, expecting a trap. When nothing happened, I sat in a chair. A few minutes later, both Daemon sisters entered the dining room, Scanty carrying the tray with the tea pot and cups and now wearing a proper outfit that mirrored her sisters only with scarlet instead of white.

"So," said Scanty. "How long have you been a teacher, Mr. Mason?"

"Officially? Too long. It's been mostly substitute positions, but still." Scanty poured tea into the cups and couldn't help but glance up at me. "Honestly… I'd say about… 2,000 years." I took a sip of my tea and they looked at me as if I'd grown a second head. "Jasmine tea. One of my favorites."

"What did you just say," asked Kneesocks.

"I said about 2,000 years. Unless you meant the tea. In which case Jasmine is one of my favorites."

"Surely you mean it feels like 2,000 years."

"No. I'm a Nephilim. Time doesn't affect me like other beings. I'm 10,000 years old." I saw Scanty blush lightly and Kneesocks give a slight look of disdain.

"You're parents are an angel and a demon?"

"Technically, no. My body was created and has absorbed and a adopted the traits of angels and demons alike. One of the indications is my eyes. Silver irises with red outlines." Both sisters leaned in close to see I was telling the truth. "My origins are… unbelievable. But once you hear them, I'm hoping two high class demon commanders, such as yourselves, will help me."

(Somewhere in Daten City)

"So that bastard is here," said a mysterious figure as he walked down the red light district. "I knew it was too soon to make a move. We'd just been beaten! And now he's trying to track me down. Well, let's give him a challenge." The figure reached into a pocket and pulled out a device. "That buffoon better have a plan on how to kill him. Because this will only damage him. But it will be enough." The figure grinned as a metallic cylinder gleamed in his hand. He looked to the sky. "The Master better be sure this plan works. He could've been a very powerful ally." He removed the lid of the cylinder and pressed a button. A being with pale green skin, glowing red eyes, white flames for hair and wearing a black and white jumpsuit flew from the cylinder and grinned. "You must be aching from being stuck in there for so long, my friend. I've brought you to a new world for you to conquer."

Dan Phantom grinned as he popped his neck. "And who do I have to thank for my release?"

"A Conqueror. One who wishes to help you get revenge on a certain past self of yours, if… you assist me in ridding existence of a pest who would threaten both of our plans."

"Fair enough. Who am I going after?"

"Straight and to the point. Good. Take however much time you need. And attack whoever you wish. Just bring me the head of the Verser, Phoenix Mason."

"And what's to stop me from ignoring you?" the figure raised his hand. Dan soon found himself in a tremendous amount of pain.

"Is this enough of an incentive, Mr. Phantom?" Dan growled and nodded, dropping to his knees as the figure lowered his hand. "Good. Happy hunting, Phantom." Dan growled and turned invisible before leaving. "Now then… who will make a nice… snack?"
