Hey everyone! I know I usually put these little notes at the end but it's a new year so why not I shake things up? But I'm only putting it in the start to answer a review.

Cartoonlover1: Again Yes! I still love your enthusiasm! Now as for your question on hinting Danny's whereabouts; I was going to hold onto it for another chapter just so then I could give Toby and maybe Zeeki's family a little more attention but I could put it in another chapter :P

I will tell you now you will see a familiar unfriendly ghost. I won't say who but I think the title of this chapter already gave it away.

Oh and I have not finished the drawings of Zeeki, Cory and Toby because I kind a got side tracked with chapter and other drawings. Sue me; I got inspiration in a different on :P

Now, on with the Chapter!


"Why did you over power him!?" Argued the light and powerful voice, deep in the darkness.

"That new comer needed to learn his place," said the much deeper and powerful voice "Besides; I showed him the power he really has."

"You broke the oaf."

"As we agreed; neither of us shall unleash the full power or pursued him to full extent. I only unleashed a sliver of my half and I didn't persuade him… yet. He will though need to decide."

"In due time."

The voice stayed silent as Zeeki started to come too. He rose from his bed silently and sighed tiredly. He looked at his alarm clock and saw it was going to be an hour till eight. He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes, remembering the agreement he made with his two best friends.

Zeeki forced himself out of bed, trying to get himself to go and not forget like all the times before. He stretched as he got out of bed and looked at his bedroom mirror, seeing a tired and messy self, but something caught his eye. It was a big and dark figure coming from the window.

Zeeki quickly jumped towards the window, ghost ray charging in his hand, and saw no one. Zeeki slowly put his hand down, thinking the whole powers thing was getting him on edge like normally.

As he left the window a dark figure on the roof of his neighbor's building lowly chuckled. He grinned as Zeeki was out of sight and mumbled to himself "A new trophy. Hope this one's able to put up a good fight."


Zeeki flew the air at a steady speed. He stayed intangible so no one could see him but he was however, talking on his phone.

"No Cory, I'm actually going over there right now."

"Great," she said with little ease "Toby's already here and were just waiting on you. Trust me; you are going to love these dogs."

Zeeki sighed in agreement and hanged up, not really looking forward to it. Don't get him wrong, Zeeki loves dogs. It's the people part that gets him annoyed. Every time Cory gets Toby and Zeeki into doing community service Zeeki has to put up with a lot of people, mostly people either his age or up, asking a lot of dumb questions or making dumb statements.

Zeeki tried to put a positive turn towards the day, trying to think of something good that was going to happen today. But he had to drop the though when he heard a blood curdling screech.

Zeeki covered his ears, making him now float in the air and visible again. He didn't know what was making that screaming but he wanted it to stop. He couldn't do anything for he was paralyzed by the ear splitting sound.

Right before he was about ready to fall out of the sky the screeching stopped and was replaced with an up close roar. Zeeki looked up to the roar and saw it was coming from a monstrous ghost. It was green with a white ghostly aura. It looked like a pterodactyl but was green and had several pairs of eye with two crests on its head. Its beak and tiered wings had green ooze dripping off it.

It let out one last roar before Zeeki dodged it, trying to rap his head around the situation. The thing kept flying straight before flying towards the sky and diving towards Zeeki. He dodged again, buying some time to pull out his own ghost catcher, as it missed and started to glide back up.

Zeeki aimed the water gun like device at the ghost dinosaur and yelled "Hey bird brain! Eat this!"

The pterodactyl screeched again, making Zeeki cover his ears. This caused the ghost catcher fall out of his hands and fall towards the construction site below. Zeeki saw this and was about ready to yell in anger before the ghostly dinosaur grabbed him by its talons and diving towards the unfinished building.

Zeeki tried to wiggle out of its grip but it was no use, for the thing let him go. He tried to turn intangible but was too late. He crashed though several iron support beams, causing him to yell in pain and changing back into his human form but not before crashing into one last un-plastered wall.

Zeeki picked himself up, feeling the bruises throbbing on his back and arms. He swallowed down the pain as the ghost dinosaur stuck its head through the hole, trying to grab Zeeki.

He backed up, dodging the things beak as it tried to stab him. He tried to think of a way out of this until he saw all the lumber near the pterodactyl. He forced up all his energy to create flames around his hands.

Zeeki never had the time to practice this new power and had a bit of a bad experience with it. He felt his head throb as he launched the fire out of his hands and towards the lumber. The fire quickly spread as it fallowed the wood up and towards the ghost dinosaur.

It roared in pain as its flame covered head left Zeeki's hole and flapped its wings, as if trying to put it out or just in a fit of pain and anger. Zeeki smiled as he saw the ghost dinosaur launching itself out of the construction site and fly into the sky, leaving Zeeki and a small bonfire.

Zeeki chuckled, glad to see he was able to get out of that mess but stopped when his phone ranged. He pulled it out, not bothering to see if the screen was cracked and answered.

"Where the hell are you!? It's going to be over in like half an hour!" Cory shouted angrily through the device.

"Yea well," Zeeki said tiredly as he looked around and saw the little carnage he caused "I have a legit excuse this time."


Zeeki winced as he felt Cory put disinfectant on his back. He hated that stuff and knew it was only created to torture anyone with cuts.

"Relax," she tried to calm him down "Toby, I need some more cloth."

Toby nodded and said "On it," and left her bedroom, heading to the hallway bathroom that held the other first aid kit.

"Thanks again," Zeeki said before wincing when Cory but another dab of disinfectant.

Cory smiled and said "No prob'. It's a really good thing you showed up here when my parents left."

"Yea," he said as he saw the bruises on his arms again "it wasn't easy though, flying here like this."

"Yup," was all Cory said as she put down another dirty cloth filled with his own green blood.

"How is it that I keep finding green goo on your back and not on your arms?" she asked before she picking up the last clean cloth.

"It's ghost blood." He answered as his eyes wandered around to the room and saw his torn jacket and tattered t-shirt on Cory's couch.

"That explains that one chapter I was read-"

She couldn't get to finish as Toby entered the room saying "Got it and the gauzes we were goin' to need."

"Thanks Toby," she said before using more cloth to finish cleaning up Zeeki's big back wound.

"Dang," Toby said as he saw the injury "It looks like a bird tried to-"

"Toby!" Cory shouted, making his shut up and make Zeeki jump from the stool he was sitting on.

"Alright," she said before placing one hand on Zeeki's shoulder and lower back. This made him wince as he did so and as Cory rapped the gauze around the wound.

When she finished she patted his shoulder in triumph and said "There, not too shabby."

Zeeki got up and felt his head get light headed. He stumbled and gabbed on the little table that held the medical supplies. It stopped him from falling, making it easier for him to grab his head.

"Easy there," Toby said before helping him up "You can't just act like nothin' happened."

"I-I'm fine." He said before losing his footing again and falling on the edge of Cory's couch.

"No you're not," Cory said as she helped him up on the couch and said "You need some rest."

"I'll drive you home," Toby offered.

"Fine," he said before grabbing his shirt and jacket "but I'm telling you, I'm alright."

"Sure you are." Cory said as Toby helped him leave Cory's room and to his house.


Zeeki sneered as he sat in his chair in the library. It's been two days and he still felt like shit. His arms and legs fully healed but his back still stung every time he walked and when he took in a deep breath.

He rested his head down as Toby surfed through the web on his PDA for stuff to help Zeeki relax with the giant scar on his back. Cory on the other hand started to play with his hair again, knowing at his moment of weakness he wouldn't dare try to fix it.

After several minutes of silence Zeeki asked "Find anything Tobs?"

"Nothing yet," he said before pulling up another tab on the device.

"Come on Zeeki," Cory said, now fixing the mess she made of his hair "You just need to ignore it and it'll be gone before you know it."

The bell rang, telling all the students that it was time for class.

"Easy for you to say," He said before getting up and grabbing his backpack "you don't have a gash in your back."


Zeeki rested his head on his desk in fifth period. He was getting sleepy from both the class and his wound. He was about to fall asleep before Mr. Baxter said "Mister Holen, pick your head up."

Zeeki did what he was told. When Mr. Baxter was writing something on the board Zeeki took it on instinct to let his head fall back down on his desk, now out cold. Before Mr. Baxter could turn around and notice Zeeki asleep the emergency alarm went off.

Students started to get up from their desks and somewhat ran out of the class, with Mr. Baxter telling them to stop running. This didn't wake up Zeeki until he heard a familiar screech. He launched his head up as he saw everyone leaving and something huge swoop past the classroom window.

"Oh no," Zeeki said tiredly before getting up from his desk and ran to the supply closet, changing into his ghost form.

He ignored the pain in his back as he flew towards the ceiling and appeared on the ceiling, charging up his ghost ray and yelled "Here birdy, birdy!"

Zeeki waited for it to show up but was surprised when he felt a sharp pain in his boy again. He yelled in pain as he saw that he was captured in an electrical ghost net. He yelled some more before the shocking stopped and when a dark figure appeared over him.

"Well whelp, it looks like I won."

Zeeki looked up to see a well-built ghost. Not in muscle but in machinery. It looked like it was made of iron and titanium. It had a ghostly blue skull necklace, just under flames acting like a goatee and hair. Its whole body was black with expectations for its arms. It's had a sash around its buff like chest with a gear belt with an S plastered on it.

"W-who are you?" Zeeki asked, gripping on net and focusing on creating blue flames.

"I'm known by a lot of names," it said with both pride and annoyance "But most people know me as Skulker, hunter of all ghosts."

The name rang a bell to Zeeki, since Cory was listing off names of ghost one day, but something else inside him knew him. As if he knew his tricks and if he fought him before.

"What do you want from me?"

"Nothing but your head on my mantel," he said as he picked up the net and grinned evilly as Zeeki "It's not every day I get to hunt a human that can turn into a ghost."

Zeeki grinned as he felt the flames around his hands and said "Well today ain't your day."

He burned through the net and flew over Skulker, trying to get some distance between them. But as he flew away he felt something hit his back. He yelled in pain as he fell back onto the ceiling of the school. The combination of him being hit by a mini missile and his wound made him fall.

Skulker walked to Zeeki and aimed his missile launching arm, grinning as he said "I see my pet did well in tenderizing you."

As if on cue the ghostly pterodactyl let out a roar. It couldn't be seen but Skulker didn't put much thought into it as he continued "At least now it will be easier to take your head."

Zeeki sneered, the pain he felt as he got up and flew from the ceiling and towards his home, knowing he couldn't take Skulker down on his own but can get him caught into the Ghost Portal, of his father finished it.

"Yes," Skulker shouted before a jet pack morphed from his back "Run! Make the hunter much more challenging!"

Zeeki ignored him, dodging the missiles he launched at him and the occasional ghost ray. He threw his own ghost rays at Skulker but he would either dodge them like Zeeki or just absorb them with his other arm.

The chase kept going on like this until a ghost ray hit Zeeki. He yelled in pain again as he fell from the sky, struggling to keep his ghost form as he phased through his home's ceiling.

When he made it into the basement he stopped himself from crashing and ran towards the octagon whole, now covered by a mechanical door that was painted like a hazard sign. He found its control panel and rushed through reading the million lines of codes. Zeeki struggled to put in the right code, trying to get the portal to open.

When Zeeki was about ready to lose it he punched the panel in anger and shouted "Fucking work!"

It shattered the panel, sending electrical shocks to hit Zeeki before beeping. The beeping was short and quite, stopping when the portal's locked door opened. Behind it reviled a swirling like green vortex.

Zeeki held in the urge to celebrate as he heard Skulker shout "Where are you whelp!?"

Zeeki eyes widen as he rushed to find a hiding spot. He settled for three big boxes piled up and that held the broken parts of many failed gadgets. Right as he hid Skulker appeared through the ceiling and had his missile arm armed and ready to fire.

He scanned the area before floating towards the portal, thinking Zeeki would have hid cover behind the end of the counters. When he was close enough to the portal Zeeki left his hiding spot and aimed his charged ghost ray at Skulker.

"Hey Skulker!"

He turned as Zeeki let the beam fire. He grinned before absorbing the hit with his left arm. Zeeki was shocked, seeing as how his attack did leave a scratch or even made him get pushed back.

Skulker kept his evil smug face as he said "See boy? I 've hunted down many beasts and clamed all their heads!" He started to slowly walk towards Zeeki "What makes you think that a simple whelp like you can take down the Great Hunter Skulker single handily?"

Zeeki was now enraged. He was being insulted by a ghost he just meet today and has been getting his ass kicked by said ghost. That's when something snapped in him, telling him to let Skulker have it.

Zeeki yell in anger as he felt his body temperature boil and his hands were incased in blue flames again. He knew better than to let his anger get out of control, but he still let it do whatever it wanted with him setting its boundary's.

He flew towards Skulker, his fist incased in blue flames as Skulker grabbed Zeeki's fist. He succeeded but Zeeki kept pushing him, making Skulker worried and tried keep his ground but it wasn't working.

He groaned as he felt his armor breaking and asked "Who. Are. You. Whelp?"

Skulker was nearly an inch away from being sucked into the portal. Zeeki, still being in control pulled Skulker a little closer and said "The names Zeeki. And if I see you again I will rip your metal ass into pieces!"

He then pushed Skulker into the portal, causing him to yell in anger but it was cut short as the portal shut closed. Leaving Zeeki alone in his parent's lab and turning back into his human form.


Skulker continued to yell in anger until he was landed on a random floating rock in the Ghost Zone. His systems were off line and he wasn't able to fly back to his island. He was about ready to curse Zeeki until a dark shadow appeared next to him.

The shadow turned into a silhouette of a tall man with spiky hair. Its eyes were hallow and as it spoke it sounded deformed and fangs appeared in the empty mouth "Where is the boy?"

Skulker scoffed and said "Still in the human world."

"I told you not to underestimate him!" it said angrily "You do not know what he is capable of!"

"And you do?" Skulker as in question of the shadow's authority.

"Yes… my master dealt with someone just like the boy. It appears I have to deal with him myself."

"Good luck," Skulker said sarcastically before his jet pack morphed out of his back, banged up and looked like it would probably explode.

"I don't need it. I surpassed my master's training and expectation to take down some like this boy."

"Who's this master you keep talking about? Last time you mentioned about him, you said he disappeared right after Danny Phantom disappeared too."

"Well I can assure you," the silhouette said before starting to disappear "Master Plasmius didn't truly have a hand in that."


Ohhh, cliffhanger! Who is this mysterious figure and why did he team up with Skulker? Oh you guys just have to wait to find out but for now you'll have to sadly wait. I can tell you now the next chapter will be up next week or before. I'm trying to get into the habit to posting every new chapter on Saturdays now. It'll be a lot better than your Saturday cartoons; ever since 4kids ruined them I have no reason to bother waking up before ten.

Enough of my little anger, I must say farewell and I will see you all in the next chapter!
