Danny, Sam, and Tucker shortly arrived at Danny's house and were sitting around watching an old movie. They kept hearing strange crashes coming from the lab, but they had figured Danny's parents were still working on an invention and ignored them. They had been there a couple of hours, since nothing interesting was going on.

"Hey kids!" Danny's father yelled as he came upstairs with Maddie close behind.

"Hey Mr. and Mrs. Fenton." Tucker replied.

"It's getting late, you two should really head home." Maddie said, "Unless your planning on staying the night."

"Then I could show them our new invention in the morning!" Jack said eagerly.

"Later Danny!" Tucker and Sam yelled, running out the door.

"Was it something I said?" Jack asked. Danny sighed and slouched down in the chair.

sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

"So, like, why do we have to be out here at 10:00 at night?" Shaggy asked as the gang walked around a creepy old warehouse.

"This is the best time to look for clues." Velma answered. "Now stop being such a scaredy cat."

"Like, I'll try to." Shaggy said."

"Shh, I see something." Fred said, stopping in his tracks. A menacing looking ghost in an armor battle suit floated by, completely oblivious to the fours teens and their dog. He was muttering something about a ghost boy.

"I'm gonna try to get closer." Fred whispered as he crept up to the strange ghost.

"Be careful." Daphne whispered.

"Aren't I always?" He whispered back to her. He quickly ran out into the open a crouched behind a group of boxes. The ghost didn't seem to notice, but went on with his grumbling. Fred dared to move even closer, but knocked over one of the boxes. The ghost snapped back into reality and sent an ectoplasmic blast into the boxes, revealing Fred.

"What do you want," He asked, and grabbed Fred by his shirt collar. "human?"

ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

Danny was in ghost mode, flying towards the old warehouse. He had sensed something was wrong and was on his way to check it out. Considering his parents were still working on that invention and Jazz never really paid much attention to him anyway, no one would know he was ever gone. He came to the warehouse and phased through the roof. He saw Skulker holding some guy by his shirt collar.

"Hey Skulker!" Danny yelled.

"It's that ghost again." Shaggy whispered to his three companions. As the hunter turned to look at Danny, he shot him with an ectoplasmic energy beam. The blast sent Skulker flying across the room. so he dropped Fred. Danny quickly grabbed Fred and pulled him over to where the rest of the gang was hiding. Skulker quickly recovered from crashing into a wall.

"I'm trying to help you guys, even if you are ghost hunters."

"We're not ghost hunters." Fred said

"You're not? Well that's a relief." Danny said.

"Where are you whelp!" He yelled. Danny hushed the rest of the gang so Skulker wouldn't find them.

"You guys gotta be quiet so he doesn't find us." Danny told them.

"Like, I'm with the ghost." Shaggy said.

"Re too!" Scooby added.

"Come on guys, ghosts aren't real." Fred said.

"What do I look like, a duck?" Danny replied, slightly offended.

"You're probably only using cheap tricks to make us believe your a ghost." Velma explained.

"Oh really. If I wasn't a ghost, could I do this?" He turned intangible and flew through the floor, reappearing behind them. "Well?" They spun around to see him floating right behind them.

"Okay, we believe you, but who's the other guy?" Fred asked.

"That's Skulker, the Ghost Zone's greatest hunter. He usually hunts things that are rare and/or unique. Me being his main prey."

"Why?" Daphne asked.

"Let's just say there's more to me than meets the eye."

"So, like, what's this ghost zone place?" Shaggy inquired

"It's where all the ghosts are, or at least where they're supposed to be. Some of them tend to leave, so I have to send them back. Otherwise they cause all kinds of havoc."

"So..." Daphne started, but she was cut off by an explosion. The boxes they were hiding behind went flying in the air, revealing Skulker with a laser gun pointed at Danny.

"There you are, Ghost Boy. Your pelt will rest at the foot of my bed yet."

"Dude, that is so wrong!" Danny said, firing another beam at him, which also knocked him across the room. "And also never going to happen."

"Another time child." He said and phased through the floor.

"Well, now that that's over with, who are you guys and why are you here?" Danny asked them

"We're Mystery Inc. and we're here to solve the mystery of all these ghost attacks." Fred told him.

"Oh that's no mystery. My par... I mean, the local ghost hunters built a ghost portal that leads to the Ghost Zone and the ghost escaped through the portal and into this world."

"But why do they escape?" Velma asked.

"I don't know. They want to, I guess. Listen guys, it's getting late, so I'd better be going. See ya!" He started to fly up to the ceiling

"Wait!" Fred called after him. "At least tell us who you are!"

"Danny Phantom!" He called back to them, and at that he disappeared.

A mysterious figure in a hooded cloak stood outside of the warehouse. Skulker rose up behind him.

"The plan didn't work. The halfa showed up as you expected, but he caught me surprise and I couldn't trap him."

"I'm sure we'll get him next time, but as long as he's around, I can't get my revenge on Mystery Inc." The figure replied in a malevolent voice. Under the hood, a lip curled "What we need is a more devious plan."

Thanks Anomaly25 for the great idea. I also thank all my reviewers for the support. I'll try to update quickly. The reason this took so long is because my internet was down for a couple of days.
