Hey! I've finally gotten chapter 4 up. And once again, I would like to thank all of my reviewers:

cakreut12: You'll find out who it is in this chapter. Thanks for the review.

Can-I-bounce-The-Ferret: LoL. Am, you've had WAY too much sugar. By the way, this is the friend I was talking to when I was shouting "I GOT A REVIEW!" She's weird . . . like me :) Thanks for the review and yes, I am a DP freak and I'm proud to say it. I'm obsessed! LoL. BTW Am, lay off the sugar. Oh and, I GOT MORE REVIEWS! LoL

ChicaDeDanny: Thanks. I don't even know why I made the GRC but it's getting useful in the plot so I'm glad I did.

Liaranne: Thanks a lot. I read the 'Wows' and I got so happy. LoL Glad to know that everyone is in character. I don't want to stray too far from the original.

Wishing for rain: I also correct grammar. Ask Am. I do it a lot to her and she gets annoyed. I also don't follow it at times. People are always saying "You make us use proper grammar when you don't use it?" I like your pen name. I enjoy the rain. Thanks again for the review.

Asilla: You'll know who it is soon. And (you already know) I updated! I'm happy. LoL Thanks for the review. (Maybe I should start counting how many times I say that. Egh, no. I hate math)

Cyllwen: You really think it's interesting? I don't like it much. . . and that's not the way it's supposed to be. LoL

Purrbaby101: You'll find out who it is. For now, you must wait and read. Also, ppl, in this chapt, you will find out who messed with the portal.

Fantastic Bouncy Girl: I like to add a bit of humor to my stories. And no, I didn't create Ishyama. She was introduced to us as the principal in Public Enemies. Her name does sound Japanese. I'm 99.9 sure she is.

phantomshadowdragon: LoL, we can all agree that Dark Danny is cool (though somewhat creepy and twisted) but this story was written before season two began. But your first guess was good.

Tepa: I'm working on it. DP's too good to let go.

JD Phoenix: II'm glad you read and liked both AH and FR. Thanks for the review. Keep reading! LoL .. . .the suspense.

V1rg1n1a: My cliffhangers get worse, Gin. But don't worry; they're not THAT bad. Oh yeah, thanks for the reviews! I love you too my crazy and completely insane buddy! And no, I'm not fabulous. I reread this story and made a face. I don't like the writing style, but thanks :D


Amity's Hero

Chapt 4: New Power

Sam and Tucker turned around abruptly, only to see a flash of red light. Danny returned shortly after holding a few slightly burned papers.

"I've got it. Come on, let's go to Eng—"

He looked up and saw nothing.

"Uh . . . Sam? Tuck?"

Danny looked around and shrugged. They probably went to class. The bell rang and he winced. He checked his watch and sighed.

"Late again," he muttered as he ran away.

The door slowly creaked open and Mr. Lancer stopped writing.

"Late again, Mr. Fenton."

"I ran into . . . uh . . . a ghost," Danny replied lamely. He sat down and opened his books.

"I see," Lancer replied, obviously not believing him. "And you're not injured at all?"

Danny looked up. Before he could think of an excuse, Mr. Lancer spoke again.

"Where are Ms. Manson and Mr. Foley?"

Danny gasped and looked around. Sam and Tucker were no where in sight. That couldn't be good.

"May I be excused? I'm not feeling well," he said. Lancer eyed him suspiciously and nodded.

Danny ran out of class immediately.

"I'm going ghost!" he said after making sure no one was in the hall. A flash of light engulfed him and he transformed into Danny Phantom. Just then, Dash walked into the hall whistling. He caught sight of Danny and froze.

"Inviso-Bill!" he shouted before running away.

"MY NAME IS NOT INVISO-BILL!" Danny shouted angrily. He turned intangible and flew through the wall. Once outside, he called Tucker. No one picked up so he called Sam. Once again, no one answered.

"Where are you?" he muttered. Suddenly, a flash of light appeared behind him. He stopped and turned around.

Five black-eyed ghosts were levitating behind him. They all looked identical. Each of them had flame-like white hair on their necks and a piercing stare.

"Who are you?" Danny asked. The ghosts remained silent. Danny continued to watch them. Suddenly, there was another flash of light and they all disappeared. Danny gasped as he felt something collide with his head. He fell forward and landed on the sidewalk. Right above him, one of the ghosts smirked. Danny gritted his teeth angrily. He dropped his bag on the floor and flew up.

"You're going to regret that!" he shouted as he sent an ectoplasmic blast at it. It dived and dodged. Danny's eyes widened. It was too fast. He couldn't hit it.

"Danny Phantom," the ghost said in an amused tone. "This should be interesting. My name is Zeith."

"Zeith?" Danny repeated, trying not to laugh. The ghost narrowed its eyes. Before Danny knew what happened, he was hit in the back of the head again by Zeith. He stumbled forward and turned around.

"How did you get there so quickly?"

Zeith smirked. He shot an ectoplasmic beam at Danny. Danny gasped and formed a shield. Just as the blast was reflected, there was another flash of light and Zeith appeared behind him. He kicked and Danny fell forward. He looked up and saw the ghost watching him.

"How does he do that?" he muttered to himself. Just as he was about to take flight, another flash of light appeared in the sky and, thinking quickly, Danny turned around. He swung his fist while turning and ended up punching the ghost.

Zeith flew several feet before colliding with the ground. He got up quickly but was soon knocked down again by Danny's kick.

"So, you can teleport?" Danny asked as he raised his fist again.

"You can say that," Zeith replied in an amused tone as he stood up. Danny kicked off the ground and flew into the air. Zeith followed. The two ghosts began sending ectoplasmic blasts at each other. Zeith continued to disappear and reappear near Danny.

"Stop doing that!" Danny shouted as the ghost disappeared, reappeared, disappeared, and reappeared again.

"What's the matter? Am I too much for the infamous Danny Phantom? Or should I say Inviso-Bill?" Zeith mocked. Danny narrowed his eyes menacingly.

"My name is not INVISO-BILL!" he shouted. Zeith's laughter rang in his mind. He closed his eyes. When he opened them, they were glowing even more. Zeith stopped abruptly. Danny raised his arms and shouted, "I'm Danny Phantom. Remember that!" He brought his arms down in a swift-like motion and a glowing blue light followed. It resembled a curved blade and grew larger as he dropped his arms through the air. The blade cut into the ground with a powerful force and moved toward Zeith, leaving a large crevice in its path. Zeith's eyes widened and he screamed as the blade-like blast hit him. He was thrown twenty feet back and fell through one of the buildings.

Danny gasped and looked at his hands. A blue light was flashing around him. It soon faded and he looked up. A flash appeared in the sky and Zeith appeared. He looked furious and beaten up. The hair on his neck was disheveled and he many cuts on his face. His black cloak was torn and he had a bruise under his left eye.

Thinking quickly, Danny ran to his bag and grabbed the GRC just as the ghost dived toward him. He aimed it at him and pressed the button on the handle and a red beam shot out of it. It engulfed Zeith and he began shouting. His shouts were muted as he was sent into the Ghost Restraining Container. Once inside, the flash disappeared and Danny sighed with relief. He looked at his hands again. Everything was normal.

"Did I just get . . . a new power?"

He turned around to continue his search when another flash caught his attention. Danny sighed and turned around again. Four ghosts identical to Zeith floated ten feet in the air right above him.

"So, you still haven't learned?" Danny asked, holding the GRC up threateningly. The ghosts looked at each other and then turned back to Danny Phantom. They let out a loud screech and he dropped the GRC.

Danny covered his ears and the ghosts took the chance to get the GRC. They dived and Danny gasped. He jumped forward, grabbing the GRC as he did. The ghosts pulled out of their dive and flew back up. Danny aimed the weapon at them and they all flew in different directions.

"Release our brother!" one of them shouted.

"I've got a better idea," Danny replied, activating the GRC and trapping the second ghost inside. "Two down and three to go."

The other three looked at each other and then flew away. Danny lowered the GRC and smiled triumphantly. His smile faded when he realized that they were headed toward his home.

He threw his bag over his shoulder and followed the trio. They noticed and dived. There was a flash of light and one of them appeared behind him. Danny was expecting that. Zeith always did it. He stopped flying and kicked behind him, but to his surprise, the ghost knew what was coming. It ducked and grabbed his foot. Danny screamed as the ghost threw him into a parked car. He flew back up, but the same thing was repeated.

Once again, the ghosts disappeared and reappeared around him. They threw him again, but this time, Danny tried to break the fall. He tried to fly, but the force of the wind was too strong. Instead, he put his hands in front of him and aimed a blast at the ground. Danny stopped falling. He didn't end the blast. Instead, its collision with the ground caused him to be pushed upward. He flew back up and punched one of the ghosts. It flew into one of its brothers. He grabbed the GRC and caught them both.

"Just you left," he said to the last one.

"Release my brothers!" it shouted angrily. Danny grunted and it sent a blast at him. He flew up and dodged it. The ghost followed him and continued to throw energy beams at him. He became intangible and they went through him.

"Is that all you've got?" Danny mocked as he flew to the left. The ghost stopped and turned around. His opponent was gone. Then, suddenly, Danny punched it from behind. It flew a few extra feet before realizing what happened.

"That's strange," Danny muttered. "Zeith would've teleported if he couldn't find me."

The ghost screeched again and Danny covered his ears. He blasted it but missed. It began to circle around him.

"Why aren't you teleporting?" Danny asked, keeping on eye on it. The ghost remained silent. Danny was about to attack when he realized something. All five of them looked identical. "You can't teleport can you?" he asked.

"Not without my brothers," the ghost snarled. It flew forward and Danny dodged it.

"So you only have that power when your brothers are around. When you teleport, one of your brothers appears where you would've been. Without them, you can't defend yourself," Danny said casually. The ghost's eyes widened. Instead of attacking again, it flew away. Danny became invisible and followed it.

After about three minutes of flying, the ghost spotted a building and went through it. It was definitely the Fentons' home. The ghost devices on the roof gave it away. Danny flew through the wall and chased after the ghost. He ended up in his parents' lab.

"Plasmius, he's gotten Zeith, Ricko, Gary, and Theo," a familiar voice panted. Danny hid behind a desk and listened.

"We'll free them later," Vlad's voice replied. Danny shifted a bit and saw Vlad Plasmius' cloak.

"What about Inviso-Bill?" the ghost asked.

There was a few seconds' silence and then Vlad spoke again.

"He has gotten on my last nerve. But we shouldn't worry about him. I've already freed more than enough ghosts by wrecking that portal. We'll have an army soon. And if his town doesn't destroy him, every ghost in Amity will."

Danny heard footsteps coming closer. He wanted to jump out and punch Vlad, but he knew he shouldn't. Plasmius was right. With all of the ghosts in Amity, everyone would be after him and if they didn't destroy him, the ghosts would. In addition to that, Vlad could blackmail Danny.

Another thought came to him. If he was to battle Vlad and his 'army', everyone would see that he was good. To add to that, Plasmius would be considered a villain, so Danny could blackmail him.

"But how are we going to lure him out into the open?" the ghost asked.

"That's simple," Plasmius replied. When he stopped speaking, Danny crawled from behind the desk to see what he was pointing to. He felt rage wash over him as he saw Tucker and Sam tied in the corner.

The end of Chapter 4. Finally. My hands hurt. Also, keep in mind that the ghost 'army' isn't really an army . . . YET. They're just there to lure DPhantom out into the open so that Amity can get rid of him. But later on, their only choice will be to join together. I'm gonna stop here before I give it all away. Please review! I'm gonna (going to) try to count how many times I say "Thanks for the review"
