Danny, Jr.'s POV

My sister Jess and our friend, Alex Foley, were still eating their lunch in the mall's food court, so I went over to a girl I recognized as the new girl from school.

"You go to Casper High, don't you?" I asked.

"Yes, I do."

"So do I."

"I thought I recognized you. What's your name?"

"Danny. Danny Fenton. What's yours?"

"Emily Kitsune, but you can call me Em."

"That's Japanese, right?"

"Yes, my folks are Japanese."

"And where were you born?"

"Chicago. You?"

"I've lived here all my life. So what brings you here?"

"My mom was transferred here."

"What does she do?"

"I don't know."

"What about your dad?"

"My dad died before I was born."

"I come from a long line of ghost hunters, and my mom's a doctor."

"Danny, we're ready." Jess said as she and Alex approached us.

"Em, this is my sister Jessica and my best friend, Alex." There was a series of greetings all around. "We're going to the movies. Want to come?"

"No thanks I'm meeting someone here."

"Oh, well. Can I at least have your E-mail?"

"Sure." She said as she wrote it down on a scrap of paper she pulled from her purse. Jess, Al, and I had just turned the corner when my ghost sense went off.

With a flash of gold rings, my clothes turned into a silver spandex suit with blue gloves, boots, and collar. My eyes went from green to electric blue, and my hair went from paper white to onyx. Jess' blue rings did the same, her blonde hair now black as night, her formerly purple eyes now green.

As we moved to face the ghost, we saw a huge knight clad entirely in black facing off against a ninja dressed in red, fending him off with her twin katanas, a Bo staff strapped to her back.

"It's not you I want, girl. I want him." The knight said, pointing at me. I recognized the knight based on a dad's description of him.

"Too bad." She said as she did a move that would have made the effects artists behind "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" blush with the speed of a viper. Thinking quickly, the Fright Knight grabbed her by the leg, knocking her into a wall. I watched as a red ring appeared at her feet, moving towards her head.

"Em?" I asked out of surprise as her weapons and ninja clothes vanished.

"Face me, boy." Said the Fright Knight, catching my attention. I turned around to fight him, but he did the strangest thing: he bowed. "I, as with the Ghost Zone and your world, am at your mercy, my liege."
