Well, here is the next chapter. Thanks for all the reviews!
Oh, and to Warior, yes, Danny and Hiei should be able to take them down easily, but as you remember even Sora had trouble at the very beginning.
And to Danny's double, I have already planned this story out and they will all be included.
Now, on with the story in which I own no-one but Dr. Smith.
At that moment, at Sam's house, Danny explained to Sam and Tucker everything that happened.
"Man, that's weird." Said Tucker, after hearing Danny's story.
"You have no idea." Danny replied. "Now I not only have to find out what files were stolen by who, and what for, and what those things are, but I've also got to deal with Hiei. And you guys know how hard it is to deal with him!"
"Don't worry Danny." Said Sam. "I'm sure it'll all work out."
"Maybe. But what about that vision I had?"
"Maybe you were just having a nightmare?" Tucker suggested.
"I was wide awake at the time Tuck. And why would I be dreaming about shadows and keys and stuff? And more importantly, why did it seem like someone was talking to me?"
Before either of his friends could answer, there was an explosion outside.
They ran out to see what had happened and saw the city under attack by several Heartless of all kinds. In the sky was a giant black hole which seemed to keep getting bigger and bigger.
"Whoa!" Said Tucker. "Are these the things you were talking about?"
"Some of them are. I'm not sure about all of them. But whatever they are, it's time for me to put a stop to their fun! I'm going ghost!"
Danny changed into his ghost form and flew off. He decided to go after the biggest ones first, when he was attacked by a giant dragon-like creature.
On the ground, a cameraman focused in on the battle, then turned to a short reporter.
"This is Chet Ubetcha, reporting live from Amity Park where a strange swarm of creatures has appeared out of nowhere and has started to create chaos! Even the hero, Invisi-Bill,-"
"Not Invisi-Bill!" Danny shouted angrily, as he defeated the dragon-like Heartless and moved on to one that looked like a monkey.
"As I was saying, even the hero who is not Invisi-Bill is having trouble defeating these monsters. This is Chet Ubetcha saying, I wish I'd stayed in Dimmsdale!"
It was true. Danny was having trouble. But then, something unexpected happened. Hiei came to help out!
Hiei jumped in front of the Heartless-monkey and sliced it in half. Then he and Danny continued to destroy the Heartless one after the other.
"Hey Hiei," Danny shouted over the noise. "I thought you didn't do teamwork."
"I don't." Hiei replied. "But I don't care to be destroyed either, and the only way I can stop these Heartless is by teaming up with you. Temporarily of course."
"Well, As long as I have help."
The two of them began fighting with all their might.
Meanwhile, in Beverly Hills at W.H.O.O.P. Headquarters, Jerry, Clover, Sam, and Alex watched the battle on the news.
"As you can see," Chet Ubetcha reported. "The ghost boy and some guy with a samurai sword who is almost as short as me have been fighting against the creatures we now know as Heartless, but to no avail. These creatures seem to be multiplying at an alarming rate and some are saying they intend to spread out across the globe. Everyone who can hear me, from New York to Orchid Bay, from Station Square to Beverly Hills, I have this important message. RUN, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"
Jerry turned off the view screen and turned to the three spies. "Simply terrible." He said.
"You know," Said Clover. "Those guys fighting the Heartless are kinda cute." Sam and Alex just anime sweat-dropped.
"So, when do we leave Jerry?" Sam asked.
"You don't." Jerry replied. "I'm afraid this isn't in W.H.O.O.P.'s jurisdiction."
"But Jerry," Said Alex. "This is important! What if those things really are trying to take over the world?"
"If that is the case, W.H.O.O.P. will send out its elite agents. I'm afraid this isn't a job for you ladies."
"Now wait just a minute!" Clover shouted. "You mean out of all those stupid missions you've sent us on and we didn't want to go, this major crisis pops up involving kinda cute guys and you're not letting us go!"
"Sorry Clover, I'm afraid that's just how it is. 'cute boys' or not."
The spies walked out of Jerry's office, (probably the first time they weren't Whooped out) and walked down the hall together.
"I just can't believe that!" Clover shouted. "How could he do this!"
"You know Clover," Said Sam. "I would have thought you would be happy not to go on a mission."
"Not when the whole world is in danger! I mean, come on! We have to do something!"
"Um, Clover, the whole world is usually in danger and you still complain about missions." Alex commented. "Are you sure it isn't just cause you thought those guys were cute?"
"Wha- I- You- Oh forget it!" Clover stormed down the hall, leaving her friends behind.
She snuck into a room as soon as she knew no-one would see her, and she walked up to a wall of gadgets. She quickly wrote Sam and Alex a note, saying she'd be gone for awhile, and began packing some gadgets. She then walked into a hangar and found a jet. "I sure hope I know what I'm doing…" She said to herself.
Back in Amity Park, Danny and Hiei continued fighting, but the tide never seemed to turn. Then, the Heartless suddenly stopped fighting and disappeared.
"Huh? Where'd they go?" Danny asked. Then he saw something in the air. It was a group of black and white robots, each with Danny's D symbol on their chests. "The Ghost-Hunters! Dad must have activated them to help!"
"Not likely." Said Hiei flatly.
"What?"
"Those robots were invented by the same person who is controlling the Heartless."
"That can't be. The guy who invented them is Dr. George Smith. He was my dad's friend in college… and so was Vlad Masters… Man, why couldn't dad choose his friends more wisely?"
"I could ask the same of myself and Vlad." Danny and Hiei heard Smith's voice and looked up to see him standing on a rooftop. "Making friends with a fool like Jack Fenton! How desperate was I for companionship!"
Danny growled. "So it is you! How could you do this Smith?"
"Simple! Ever since I found the Heartless one year ago, I've been busy working my way up at Fenton Industries and developing the Ghost-Hunters! Or should I say, the Heartless-Droids?" The robots began to change color, turning from black and white to grey and purple. The D on their chests then transformed into strange heart shapes, each with an X in its center, the symbol of the heartless. "Behold my masterpiece! My own new species of Heartless! Part shadow, part machine. And they even come with ghost powers, courtesy of you and your bumbling father!"
"And what about those files you stole?" Hiei asked.
"I needed the activation codes to use the robots. That fool Jack actually had the nerve to lock my creations up! And now my friends, I bid you farewell. For the last time!" Smith disappeared through a black hole that had appeared behind him and vanished after he left.
Hiei prepared to attack the Heartless-droids, but Danny stopped him.
"We can't fight these things here." He said.
"Why not?" Hiei snapped.
"If these things have ghost powers and the Heartless' powers they're going to cause damage to people's homes. We need to lead them somewhere where there's more room for fighting."
Hiei hesitated, but finally put his sword away. "Very well. Let's go!"
Danny flew off to the outskirts of town, followed by Hiei, who was running at top speed.
The Heartless-droids flew after them.
After they had gone a few miles and Danny no longer saw any homes or people, he stopped and turned to the robots. "Alright you freaks," He said. "Now it's time for you to go back to the scrap-heap!"
Hiei also stopped and drew his sword.
Danny used his green lasers to shoot at the Heartless, but the shots passed right through them.
Hiei attacked a droid that landed on the ground but it managed to dodge his sword.
Danny started fist-fighting with a Heartless-droid, but it knocked him to the ground.
Hiei increased his speed and easily started to inflict serious damage to the robot's armor. But then it regenerated and grabbed Hiei by the neck. It then lifted him up off the ground and squeezed tighter on his neck. But just as Hiei was starting to black out, a giant fireball blasted the Heartless-droid into a million pieces.
Hiei was grabbed by the arms and gently carried to the ground. He looked up and saw he had been saved by a dragon!
The dragon put Hiei on the ground and turned to him. "You okay?" The dragon asked.
Hiei just looked at him. "Who are you?" He asked instead of answering.
"The name's Jake, I'm the American Dragon."
"Humph. Thank you for the assistance."
Without another word, Hiei attacked another Heartless-droid. As did Jake.
Danny regained consciousness and sat up suddenly. He then noticed three of the Heartless-droids standing over him pointing glowing green hands at him. "Oh great." He said, expecting the worst.
But before the robots could fire, a blue blur ran them over one-by-one. The blur then stopped and Danny could see that it was actually a giant blue hedgehog wearing sneakers. "Hey, need a hand?" The hedgehog asked, helping Danny to his feet.
"Thanks." Said Danny. "Um, who are you?"
"I'm Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog. I thought you'd need some help so I got over here as fast as I could."
"Wow, thanks."
Just then, one of the droids that Sonic had knocked down got back up and was about to fire at them when a girl with a red highlight in her hair kicked it, causing it to fall to the ground again.
"Looks like you missed one." She said, as Sonic and Danny stared at her. "Nice to meet you, I'm Juniper Lee, June for short." She held out her hand but they just kept staring.
They all whirled around when they heard 2 more Heartless-droids blow up.
Hiei walk up to where they stood and Jake landed next to June.
"Well," Said Hiei. "Looks like we've got some help, eh Danny?"
"Yeah." Danny replied. "Thanks you guys."
"Don't mention it." Said Sonic. "Especially since we're not done yet."
They all looked and saw they had surrounded by Heartless-droids. It didn't seem like there was any hope for escape, until a jet flew overhead and started dropping bombs on the robots. Almost all of them had been destroyed, when the last of them fired a green blast which shot through the jet.
Hiei sliced the robot in half and looked up in time to see a blond girl eject from the plane before it exploded. But she obviously wasn't wearing a parachute.
Hiei ran to get under her and caught her in his arms.
"Thanks." She said, as she looked up at him. When she saw his face she got hearts in her eyes. "Ooh, you're cuter in person!"
"Huh?" Hiei was genuinely confused now.
He placed her on the ground as the others came up to them.
"Wow." Said Sonic. "Looks like we got ourselves a party here."
Clover walked up to Danny and shook his hand. "Hi, I'm Clover." She said. "And you must be Invisi-Bill."
Danny shook her hand. "No, my name is Danny Phantom."
"Oh. Okay." She turned to Hiei. "And what is your name?"
"We don't have time for introductions." Hiei said flatly. "You destroyed those Heartless-droids, but now that your jet crashed I'm afraid we'll have to find another way to defeat the Heartless."
"I think I know a way." Said Danny. "Hiei, you need to come with me." He turned to the others. "Could you guys take care of things in Amity Park till we get back?"
"What?" Jake asked. "You want us to fight these things again?"
"Look, I only need you to look out for the people here. If you work together, you can do it. We did it here didn't we?" The others agreed. "So, who's ready to save the world?"
He put his hand out, and Jake put his on top of it. He was followed by Sonic, then Clover, then June, and finally Hiei. "Alright then." Danny continued. "Hiei and I will be right back, hopefully with something that'll take care of the Heartless once and for all. Come on Hiei."
Danny flew off and Hiei followed.
"So," Said Hiei, as he ran along keeping up with Danny. "What is this thing that'll defeat the Heartless?"
"You'll see." Danny replied.
The two of them headed for a nearby military base, and Danny hoped he was right.
