Hi, folks! How is everything with you? Things are fine with me, I guess. Sorry about the wait, I'm having a little bit of trouble thinking of how to continue with this fic. Thanks for the reviews! Oh, and just so you know, in "Reign Storm", Danny could only split himself because of the ecto-skeleton, IMO.

Chapter 9 is here! What will happen now that the enemies are working together?

When Teen Heroes Collide

Chapter Nine: Talks and Tussles

Middleton, Wisconsin, Monday, 7:15 AM

Kim walked to the front door of her house after eating breakfast. She opened the door and found Ron standing outside waiting for her.

"Hey, KP," Ron said.

"Hey, Ron," Kim replied and planted a kiss on his lips. (Finally, we see them kiss!)

From the kitchen, chants of, "Kim is a cootie magnet! Kim is a cootie magnet!" were heard. Sure Jim and Tim were cool that Kim and Ron were together, but just because they were here brothers, they still teased her about it.

Kim turned around and screamed, "TWEEBS!"

Ron put his hand on her shoulder and said, "Forget them, Kim. Let's get to school."

Kim and Ron walked outside and walked down the road to Middleton High School, hand in hand.

As they walked, Ron said, "You know, I have to say, this weekend wasn't anything I expected."

"Ditto. I never guessed that we'd meet Danny Phantom, not to mention become friends with him and his friends."

Ron added, "Along with having him save us from certain doom along with us doing the same for him."

"So what do you think was the sitch of Monkey Fist working with that Skulker guy that Danny mentioned? How could they even know each other if we never met Skulker until yesterday?"

"Let me see. A big ghost hunter guy and a mutated man with a monkey army. How interesting is that?"

"We might have been able to get more info from Danny if we didn't need to leave so soon."

The couple discussed this matter up until they reached school.

Amity Park, Indiana, Monday, 12:05 PM

Danny, Sam, and Tucker sat at their usual lunch table. As the three of them ate, they talked about what happened over the past weekend.

Danny said, "You know, I've had strange weekends with ghost fighting before, but I didn't expect what happened this weekend."

Sam replied, "I know. It was a big surprise running into Kim and Ron like that."

Tucker added, "Well, I'm glad we did."

Danny then said, "But I still don't get why Skulker and Monkey Fist were working together on…whatever they were even working on."

Sam nodded, "Right. How would they even know each other? Especially since one of them is a ghost, and the other is a mutated man with a bunch of monkeys."

Tucker suggested, "Maybe someone else who knows the both of them teamed them up."

Danny answered, "In a way it makes sense. But who would know the both of them?"

Sam responded to that, "It could be somebody we don't know."

Danny replied, "That's what I'm thinking, especially since we hardly know any of Kim and what's-his-name's other enemies."

Sam chuckled, "Honestly, Danny, you should write Ron's name down and memorize it at least a million times so you don't keep forgetting it all the time."

"Oooh, how come you remember his name?"

Sam raised her eyebrow, "What's that supposed to mean?"

Just then Danny saw the cold mist come out of his mouth. Danny said, "We'll discuss this later."

Two seconds later, there was a crash and something burst through the wall.

In the space of the wall stood the Lunch Lady Ghost, and beside her stood a short man wearing a kilt, a goofy hat, and holding a golf club.

As everyone else scattered, Danny yelled, "The Lunch Lady ghost! And…the bearded lady wearing a skirt."

The man groaned in a Scottish accent, "It's not a skirt, young lad, it's a kilt!"

"Either way…" said Danny as he transformed into Danny Phantom without anyone seeing him.

Danny flew up and said, "Who the heck are you anyway?"

"I'm Duff Killigan, the world's most dangerous golfer!"

Danny raised an eyebrow, "Golfer?"

Sam said, "My parents like to golf a lot. It's such a boring game, the way I see it."

Duff yelled, "Well let's see if you get a bore out of this, young lass!" He pulled out a golf ball and hit it with his club. It hit the ground in front of Tucker and Sam.

Sam chuckled, "Yeah, nice shot. You want to try for bogey?"

Just then, the golf ball exploded, sending Tucker and Sam flying at the wall.

Danny yelled, "Whoa! Exploding golf balls? Wonderful."

He turned back to the Lunch Lady and Killigan and said, "Why are you guys here anyway?"

The Lunch Lady spoke for the first time in a booming voice, "So we can get rid of you, ghost boy!"

Tucker slapped his forehead, "Of course! Danny, Duff is one of Kim's enemies!"

Danny looked stunned, "This is getting weird. Now we have these characters working together?"

Duff yelled, "To destroy you, sonny Jim! Along with another couple of lads destroying Kim herself."

With that, the Lunch Lady threw her arms into the air. All the meat that came from the kitchen and the tables flew straight at her and began to stick to her.

As it did, Tucker moaned, "Oh, meat, why do you do this to me yet again?"

Within seconds, Danny again saw the Lunch Lady become a huge meat monster.

She tried to take a swipe at Danny, while Duff fired a bunch of golf balls at the teenager. Danny flew out of the way and fired a ghost ray at the Lunch Lady. She was hit and knocked backward.

Duff fired another golf ball at Danny, but Danny caught it. Before it blew, he threw it back at Duff and it exploded just as it reached him. He was knocked backward.

Danny smiled and flew at him. Before he could reach him, the Lunch Lady grabbed Danny and held him tightly.

Danny calmly phased through her hand and gave her a hard kick on the shoulder.

From on the ground, Duff sneered, "I think it's time to bring out me nine iron." He pulled out another club and hit it hard. It sailed over Danny's head.

Danny smiled, "Need work on you aim, dude?"

Just then, the golf ball started to spin backward still in the air. It dropped on an angle and exploded not far from Danny.

Danny missed a direct hit from the explosion but still took damage from the force of the shockwave and was knocked upward.

Killigan hit another ball, saying, "My aim is just fine!"

This time Danny projected an ectoplasmic rebounder. It bounced backward and struck Duff.

The Lunch Lady tried to stomp on Danny, but Danny flew between her legs and high upward away from her.

Duff missed another golf ball at him, and Danny finally turned around in a fluid motion. Flying at his max speed of one hundred and twelve miles per hour, he struck the Lunch Lady as she turned around. She was hit hard, and the meat on her fell in several different places as she dropped to the ground.

Danny yelled to his friends, "Thermos, please!"

Tucker pulled out the Fenton thermos out of his backpack and tossed it to Danny. Danny caught it and stood over the Lunch Lady, preparing to suck her inside.

Duff growled, and then prepared to fire another golf ball.

Sam saw her lunch tray, and slid it on the ground to Duff. Duff didn't see it coming and it him, knocking him down. The ball exploded in his face. As he watched Danny, he muttered to himself, "Since she's about to be finished up, I probably won't be able to beat this kid myself."

"Thanks, Sam," said Danny as he opened the thermos and the Lunch Lady was sucked inside, screaming.

As the trio watched the Lunch Lady being sucked in, no one notice Duff running back through the wall which he had helped break down.

Danny closed the thermos and turned to where he last saw Killigan, "Now for the wannabee golfer…"

Of course, Killigan was gone.

"Oh, great," said Danny, "He ran off."

Tucker asked him, "Shouldn't you go after him?"

"What good would it do? He could be anywhere, and I can't sense him. Besides I think another problem should be getting underway too."

"What do you mean?" asked Tucker.

Sam said, "Hello! Killigan said others would be destroying Kim! We have to do something."

"Right!" said Danny. He picked his friends up and flew them upward, saying, "Let's get to Middleton!"

"Wait!" shouted Sam.

Danny stopped and said, "What?"

"We don't know how to get to Middleton."

Danny thought for a minute, and then he went over to his backpack.

Middleton, Wisconsin, Monday, 12:45 PM

Kim and Ron walked down the hallway at school. They had just gotten out of lunch and were on their way to their next class.

Ron sighed, "I swear, if that cafeteria lady doesn't stop giving me lame food, I'm calling for a complaint."

Kim answered, "Ron, you've tried that twice already."

"Hey, first time, I was fourteen, and second time, it got interrupted by a mission."

Just then, the Kimmunicator beeped. Kim put it on-line and said, "Go, Wade."

Wade responded on the screen, "Kim, Danny just called me. There was a break-in at his school."

"Who was it?"

"Duff Killigan and some meat monster."

"Killigan? Why would he be after Danny? Is he okay?"

"Yeah, Danny fought them off, even though Killigan got away."

"Then why did you call?"

"Because Danny said that Killigan said that danger would be coming your way!"

"Danger? What kind?"

Just then there was an explosion from at the end of the hall.

Kim and Ron turned to it and Ron yelled, "Looks like we're about to find out!"

We're going to leave it a cliffhanger for now. Sorry if the fight scene was kind of dull, I'm never that good at them. Anyway, who is going to try and attack Kim and Ron? How can Danny help if he doesn't know how to get there? Find out in Chapter 10!
