It was a peaceful night in Amity Park. Most of its citizens were safely tucked away in their beds. Those few who were still awake partying or doing their respective night jobs were lost in their own world.

The silence was shattered by a man on an old beat up motorcycle tearing through the streets at breakneck speed. He had shoulder length dirty blonde hair, his skin was light grey. He wore a long dirty trench coat over his scrawny figure. Following him, were three other ghost bikers.

"C'mon boys," the leader said. "We are gonna rock this town!" The other three bikers whooped their approval.

They sped down the street until they passed a police car. The lead biker sped around and the others followed suit. They stopped in the middle of the road and waited for the car to come speeding toward them with their lights flashing. Two cops got out of the car and approached them.

"Alright you punks this….." one cop began to say, but stopped when he caught sight of the ghost bikers. "What in God's name are you?"

"Are they glowing?" his partner asked. The ghosts laughed and began riding their bikes in circles around the cops. One of the cops drew his gun and tried to point it at the insane bikers.

"F-Freeze," he said shakily. The blond biker laughed loudly as he rode around them.

"Those guns can't hurt us, we are already dead," He pulled a chain out of his jacket and flung it at the officer, knocking the gun out of his hand. The rest of the bikers stopped and waited behind their leader. "No one can stop us; we will turn this town upside down."

"Not if I can help it," A loud voice said from over head. The bikers looked up to see a ghost man with chalk white hair and green eyes come flying at them. He was wearing a black hazmat suit with white gloves and boots.

Phantom flew at the leader and knocked him off his bike. The other bikers gasped and then they all oooooed in sync. They looked at their fallen leader to see what he would do next.

"You'll pay for that punk; no one touches Johnny 13 and gets away with it." Phantom hovered in the air with his arms crossed looking unimpressed.

"So you're Johnny 13 huh, I'm not impressed," he taunted.

Johnny 13 had been an active ghost even before the ghost portal opened. He was the ghost of a biker that rode from town to town, terrorizing anyone he came in contact with. The biker himself wasn't anything special, but his shadow was said to be exceptionally powerful, but Danny estimated that he was more then capable to take care of it. And now he had found himself a gang since he was last heard from.

"I'm gonna make you eat those words man," His shadow sprung to life and flew out of the ground at Phantom. The shadow resembled Johnny, only it was all black with white eyes and its entire body was wavy.

Johnny 13's shadow flew at Phantom and struck. Phantom dodged the first strike but was caught in the chin by a second. He staggered back holding his chin. Before he could recover, the shadow flew at him and tackled the half ghost to the ground.

Phantom struggled against its attacks, but the shadow was gnawing at his neck like a crazed animal. It bit down and green blood ran down Phantom's chest. He screamed in pain and threw the shadow off him into the police car. The police scattered to avoid the shadow ghost.

Phantom flew at the ghost and repetitively hit it. The shadow took the beating and struck back sending Phantom flying.

It was then Danny remembered the reports about Johnny 13. His shadow seemed to be weakened by a lot of light or water. If only he could find water. He looked to the right and saw a fire hydrant.

"Bingo," the hybrid said. He flew over to the hydrant and looked back at the shadow. "Come and get me you lousy excuse for a ghost." The shadow became angered and its hands formed sharp razors. It flew at Danny and flung its razor hands at him.

Phantom jumped back, "Whoa!" It struck again but this time connected with the fire hydrant. Water shot up, hitting the shadow and reducing it to a black puddle.

Phantom then looked over at Johnny 13 who had been commanding his shadow the whole time. He flew at him and grabbed the biker by the throat, holding him against the wall.

"Ah," Johnny yelled. "A little help guys," At once the other three ghost bikers tackled Phantom to the ground. Phantom flung one of the bikers off of him and managed to break free of the other two. He flew up into the sky over the buildings.

The bikers flew up after him on their bikes. Once Danny was high enough he turned around to face them.

He reached to his belt and tossed an ecto grenade at the trio of bikers. It exploded in a flash of green light, disintegrating two of them. Since he started fighting ghosts regularly, Phantom made himself a utility belt with a number of different ghost hunting equipment on it.

The remaining biker looked at the hero in shock. Phantom gave him a menacing look.

"Did I scare you?" The biker glared at Danny and flew up to meet him.

Phantom struck the biker in the face sending him flying back down to Earth. His bike crashed somewhere next to him and blew up. The biker looked up at his attacker with terrified eyes.

Before Danny could land the finishing strike, a chain was rapped around his neck. Phantom gasped and turned around to see Johnny 13.

"You fried my gang, now I'm gonna fry you." Johnny 13 yanked harder on the chain, bringing Phantom down on his face. Johnny stomped down on his head with his dirty boot, driving the young ghost's face into the ground.

Phantom phased through his boot and flew over head. The ghost biker glared up at him. He flew down and grabbed him by the coat and threw him down the dark street.

Johnny 13 staggered to his feet just in time to be kicked in the face, back to the ground. Green blood ran down his mouth and he tried to get back up, but Phantom grabbed him again by the neck and held him at eye level. A look of fear came across the biker's face.

"Hey man," he pleaded. "We were just messing around, no need to do anything hasty." Phantom's grip tightened on Johnny's throat.

"Well then I guess I'll just let you go." A look of hope was now on Johnny's face.

"Really?" he asked hopefully. Phantom smiled.

"No." He threw Johnny down on the ground hard. "But at least I won't turn you into a mass of ectoplasm like your buddies." He reached to his belt and brought out his own Fenton Thermos. Johnny slid back on the ground in fear.

"Skull, help me," he called out to his remaining gang member. No one answered.

"Looks like your friend ran out on you," Phantom taunted. Johnny held up his hands.

"Wait can't we talk about this?" Phantom answered by uncapping his thermos and pressing the button on the side. A beam of white light shot out, engulfing Johnny. The biker screamed as he was pulled inside the thermos.

Once the process was complete, Phantom capped it and placed it back on his belt. He looked around for the last ghost biker, but it was soon apparent that he had run out when things got bad.

Oh well, Phantom though. That ghost would be captured soon enough. Without Johnny 13 to lead him, it was only a matter of time before Danny or the Men in White caught him. His main goal had been Johnny 13.

Phantom had been looking for him for a few days, ever since he heard he was in town. Now that he finally caught him, he felt relieved.

Hunting ghosts had seemed like a bad idea when Tucker had recommended it almost two months ago. But ever since he started, Danny had captured or destroyed dozens of ghosts. Most of them hadn't been very powerful. But then again some of them had really tested Phantom's abilities.

He had also had several more encounters with the Men in White. Danny had tried his best to avoid confrontations with then, but in the end he was always forced to resort to violence to get away. Luckily none of them had been seriously hurt.

Unfortunately, they saw him as a threat that needed to be destroyed at all costs. They didn't see his selfless acts of heroism as what they were; they saw it as a powerful ghost eliminating the competition. Phantom was now one of the most wanted ghosts on their list. It had become very frustrating.

One of the only good things that had come out of this was that Phantom had better control of his abilities and he had saved countless lives. He seemed to be getting stronger every day.

But his ghost hunting had put even more strain on his relationship with Valerie. Since he started fighting the town's ghosts, he hardly spent any time with her. Whenever she questioned him about it, he would just say he was working late hours at the lab.

Also his adventures at night would make him tired during the day, making it harder to do his work for the Afterlife. Vlad has been on him constantly. He has expected Danny to make a functional camera that could go into the Ghost Zone. But he has yet to finish it.

The older billionaire had seemed to change his attitude toward the young scientist drastically since the accident. He was now crueler toward Danny and ridiculed his work in front of the other scientists. But Danny didn't let it bother him. He was to busy with his own work to worry about how his boss treated him.

As he flew up into the sky he looked over at the town's clock tower. It was almost four o'clock in the morning. He had to get home and attempt to get some sleep. He had a very important meeting with his psychiatrist in the morning. But that was not what he was worried about. His psychiatrist also happened to be his sister, and he knew from past experiences that being late to see her would only make the session longer and more unbearable.

A/N: So, here is the beginning of a new arch. I hoped you all liked this chapter. This was mainly just a filler chapter and I wanted to put a lot of action in it. I'm still having trouble thinking of the main villain for this arch. I have some ideas on who I'm going to use, but I'm still open to ideas. Let me know who you want Danny to fight and I'll see what I can do, and don't worry, my version of Sam will be in the next chapter. Once again, thanks to all who have commented on my story. Until next time….
