Dan and John sat down and listened to their father's story. Danny said, "It all started 12 and a half years ago."

Amity Park, 12.5 years ago

Danny was walking through the school and noticed something was wrong. He couldn't quite figure out what it was. All of the kids seemed like they were in a trance. They just walked around with no idea what they were doing. They were just going through the motions of everyday life.

He started to get worried. He knew something was really wrong when Sam and Tucker were acting the same as everybody else. Danny decided to have a look around the town. He went to the bathroom, went ghost and flew around town looking for answers.

He flew for hours but saw no sign of what was causing this. He gave up and went home to get some rest. The next day at school he noticed there were some kids missing. At first he thought nothing of this. Then several days went by and more and more kids went missing. Then finally Sam and Tucker went missing. That was the last straw. Danny went looking again, but this time he found what he was looking for. Danny saw a black swirling mass in the sky. He flew up into it.

When Danny got inside it was like a dark and twisted version of Amity Park. He then noticed that all the missing kids were there and they were all walking in one direction. Danny followed them and when he got to where they were going he couldn't believe what he was seeing. They were all walking toward a black shadow like ghost. Danny saw Sam and Tucker draw near the ghost.

Danny took off there and then. He went up to the ghost and said, "What are you doing to those people!" The ghost replied, "I am stealing there life force to make me stronger, and you, ghost child will not stop me!" Danny said, " bring it on." They then started the fight in earnest. Danny hit the ghost with an ice ray first, then he charged up a plasma ball. The plasma ball hit him directly, but it did little damage. Danny was momentarily surprised. The shadow ghost took advantage of his surprise. The ghost hit Danny with a massive hand. Danny went flying. Danny caught himself midair and flew full speed at the ghost. The ghost went intangible and Danny went right through him.

The ghost turned around and laughed and said, "Little ghost child you have no hope beating me, I know all of your powers that you have gained up to last year." Danny upon hearing this got an idea, he had one power that he had gained in the past year, the Ghostly Wail. Danny turned toward the ghost and planted his feet. He gathered up all the energy he had left and said to the ghost, " Its over." He let the Ghostly Wail go. The shadow could nothing as he had never seen this power before. The Ghostly Wail ripped through him and tore him to shreds. Danny pulled out a Fenton Thermos and sucked up the ghost.

Amity Park, Present

Danny said, "I thought I got all of him in the thermos, but it seems to me now that I didn't." Dan said, "What do we do now, if that ghost was strong enough to give you trouble then, how do we stop it." "All we can do is hope three of us is enough to stop him."
