Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom. I am just a dedicated fan.
DarkDragonQueen: I started watching Danny Phantom until about four months ago and I didn't really watch it. It was my sister and one day it was the only thing on and I completely fell in love with the show. I've been reading the fanfiction for a while and this story kind of came to my mind. I didn't want to write it until I saw a few stories that calmed my nerve. It's an Alternate universe and Sam has never met Danny or Tucker and she's never been to Amity Park until now.
Also no flames, but I do accept constructive criticism. Please bear with me because although I know the basics of grammar, I never did look at the detail. Don't worry my grammar isn't horrible where you can't read it, but it isn't exactly perfect where I could go and become an English teacher.
With that said here is chaptersix of this story.

A Hunter's new Prey Part I

Sam groaned as her three friends argued over what movie to see. In all honesty she could care less and right about now she was starting loose her cool. She went over the posters that advertised certain movies.
"Love Roller-coaster... no way... Star Life... ew, a chick flick... Dance of the Dead... Sounds good. Action and adventure, romance, mystery, and horror... perfect." she turned back to her quarreling friends. Danny was now just watching as Aly and Tucker fought over what movie to watch.
"Hey guys," Sam started but Aly and Tucker continued fighting
"Aly, Tucker," she tried again to no avail
Sam sighed. Time for her plan B... She tapped into the power of the crystal, not enough to transform, but enough to take on her personality. Her eyes narrowed at the sight of her two friends arguing. She walked over and grabbed the two by the arms and roughly pulled them to her side and to the ticket window.
"I still say we see Ninja Kill." Tucker said
"I want to see Love Roller-coaster." Aly protested
Sam groaned. "We're not seeing Ninja Kill and we're not seeing Love Roller-coaster. We're seeing Dance of the Dead, four tickets." she said as they got to the front of the line.
"Ooo, is that out already?" Aly asked
Sam nodded and let herself slip back into her own personality. It was smooth sailing from then on and the movie passed without a hitch. They stepped out into the afternoon air when the movie was done and Aly immediately began talking about the movie. They started on the walk to Danny's house. About halfway there Danny stopped and Aly looked at him accusingly.
"See, you did it again." she said and pointed a finger
"You guys go ahead." he said, "I'll catch up." with that Danny took off in the opposite direction while Tucker dragged Aly and Sam to Danny's house
Sam looked at the house as they stood at the doorstep with Tucker. So this was the house she could see from her balcony at home and now she could clearly see the sign that said Fenton Works.
A girl with orange- red hair opened the door and let them in. Sam assumed this was Jazz, Danny's sister. She had seen her around school, but would have never thought the senior in high school was Danny's sister. They looked nothing alike.
"Hi Tucker. You two must be Aly and Sam. Danny told me about you two." then she frowned, "Where is Danny?"
"Something came up and he had to go take care of it." Tucker said to Jazz and Jazz's frown dropped
"Oh," she said and then led them to the kitchen
"Hungry?" she asked Aly and Sam "If you are just help yourselves."
Aly shook her head and said something about putting fat on her hips. Sam did the same (but without the remark) and sat at round kitchen table.
They heard footsteps coming from a door in the hall next to the kitchen. Just then Danny's parents came in. His mother had on a blue jumpsuit and his father in a bright orange jumpsuit.
"Hey Danny look at our new invent-" Jack looked around the kitchen "Where's Danny?"
"He had to take care of something." Jazz said and then looked at the gun her Dad had in his hands "Dad, what have I told you about showing your ghost inventions when we have guest?"
"Guest," he said and looked at Tucker obviously not noticing the two girls at the table. "He's no guest. Tucker practically lives in this house."
Jazz sighed. "Mom, Dad, this is Aly and Sam. They just moved here around three weeks ago."
"Hi," Jack said going up to the two girls. "I'm Jack Fenton. We're Ghost Hunters."
"Ghost Hunters?" Aly said looking at Sam
"Okay, mom and dad. That's enough. I think you might be scaring them." Jazz told her parents trying to usher them down into the lab
"It's alright," Sam spoke. "What's that gun?"
"Sam no..." Jazz said too late and Jack proudly began to explain their new invention
"It's the Fenton DNA extractor." he began, "It extracts the DNA of ghost using a tiny needle to extract ectoplasm from them. It's a bit painful though. It sends a nasty shock into the ghost so when we extract the DNA it'll give us time to defend ourselves in case the ghost decides to get meaner."
Sam nodded and watched as they put the gun down on the table. It might come in handy...
"You could even use it on a human." Jack added "We've only made two so far."
Sam leaned casually on her hand and put her elbow next to the gun. Then while no one was looking (except for Aly who never missed a thing) she eased her hand onto the table and grabbed the gun easing it towards her and then into her lap. She picked up her god-sister's back pack purse and slipped it inside without anyone but Aly noticing. Aly gave her a look, but Sam mouthed to her that they had two and could make another one if be needed.
Just then Tucker's cell phone rang and he answered.
"Danny... You're going to be a while... Oh... See ya later then." he hung up and turned to Aly and Sam
"Danny said he might be a while and that you two could go home if you want. He said he's sorry he had to ditch us though." Tucker explained
Aly picked up her back pack. "No problem. We have some things to do anyway. Maybe we can hang out tomorrow."
"Yeah, we'll call. Bye." with that Aly and Sam walked out of the kitchen and out the front door.
The two decided to take the passage back home since they were sure Sam's parents were out. When they got to the park though they were greeted by a raging battle between Danny Phantom and another ghost with a mechanical armor.
"Would you just sit still?" asked the Ghost firing some type of gun at the ghost boy
"You know Skulker," said Danny "You've really got to come up with some new tricks. This is starting to get old."
"New tricks," Skulker grinned. "You asked for it."
Skulker shot a glowing green rope out a gun in his hand. It wrapped around Danny pinned his arms to his side.
"Is that really the best you can do?" Danny asked and tried to break through the rope but it electrocuted him and he fell to the ground. "Woah, why do I feel so weak all of a sudden."
"It drains ghost of their energy making then feel weak. It also makes you unable to fight." Skulker said and pulled out another gun. "Good- bye ghost boy." he said as the gun charged up.
"Oh no," Sam said and grabbed Aly by the arm pulling her behind a large tree where no one was. "Stay here."
Sam tapped into her crystal's power transforming her into the Black Phoenix.
Black Phoenix climbed into the tree and stood on one of the bare branches of the tree making sure it would support her weight. She cracked the whip she had stolen the night she met Danny Phantom and knocked the gun from Skulker's hand. He turned around in surprise.
"Who are you?" he asked seeing her standing on the branch
"I really don't feel like explaining that." Black Phoenix said and jumped off the branch at Skulker
Skulker tried to go intangible but somehow it wasn't working and she managed to tackle him out of the sky and to the ground. Skulker kicked her off and she landed on her feet. Black Phoenix stood back. She had never really fought anyone before... No one skilled anyone. Most of the gangs and murderers she fought relied on brute strength. This might not be too different he relied on his guns and armor.
"This has nothing to do with you." Skulker said and pointed a different gun at Black Phoenix
"I'm never wrong when it comes to these things." she said dryly using the ghost's shoulders to flip behind him.
He frowned and turned around caught off guard for a split second at Black Phoenix's move, but a split second was all the time she needed for a good punch.
She got him under the chin with such force that she sent him flying backwards. He landed around ten yards away on his back. Black Phoenix went over to help Danny.
"Thanks Black Phoenix." he said to her as she started to break the rope with her hands
"You can call me Phoenix if you want." she stated
He nodded and then his eyes widened. "Watch out."
Black Phoenix turned around and saw Skulker holding up one of his guns about to shout some type of ecto- blast at her.
She laughed and turned around tearing at the rope. The blast shot at Black Phoenix's back, but she calmly continued tearing at the ropes. Just when it was about to hit, her hair spread out like a fan and produced a shield. The ecto- blast hit her hair and then disintegrated like it had hit a shield. Her hair then went back limp.
Skulker looked at her in disbelief as she finally tore the last rope.
"Thanks," he said and stood up glaring at Skulker
Skulker stood up, but didn't look like he planned on fighting.
"I'll have to come more prepared next time." he grumbled and retreated
Danny sighed. "Great now I'll have to deal with him later."
"Who was he?" Black Phoenix asked
"That's Skulker. He hunts for unique and rare things. I'm one of them." Danny replied and Black Phoenix raised and eyebrow
"What's so unique about you? You're just a ghost like him aren't you?" she asked and Danny froze
"Um... yeah, but you see... I'm stronger than your average ghost... yeah, that's it." he stuttered
Black Phoenix gave him a look that said she didn't buy it but then turned her head and crossed her arms.
"Whatever you say Phantom." she said and began to stalk off but then...
"Hey Phantom." a voice called. "What havoc are you and your new girlfriend causing now?"
Black Phoenix turned to the sound of the voice to see a ghost hunter in a red jumpsuit with a gun pointed at Danny.
"She's not my girlfriend." he said and his cheeks went red
"Who's she?" Phoenix asked trying to hide a small blush that was creeping onto her cheeks
"A ghost hunter out for my hide." Danny answered and while they were momentarily distracted the hunter shot at them with the gun, releasing a very large ecto- blast.
Danny flew out of the way with Black Phoenix barely moving out of the way in time.
"Hey what's her problem?" Phoenix asked glaring at the ghost hunter
"She's a ghost hunter who likes to be called Hunter. I'm a ghost. You a teen clad in black who helped me fight a ghost and was publicized as my new partner. Since she hates me, she hates you because you're my new partner. Get the picture?" Danny explained quickly
Phoenix raised an eyebrow. "Look unless you're in danger of dying, I'll have to stay out of this fight. It doesn't look like she's too tough. You can take her."
"Hey," Danny said as he dodged a punch from Hunter. "You're not gonna help... Ah,"
Black Phoenix watched as Danny crashed into a tree.
"You do your thing and I'll do mine. When our paths meet and we're in immediate danger and need a hand that's when we'll give. It was our deal and unless she decides to pick a fight with me or assault me in any way, then I won't fight." she turned to walk away but the force a kick stopped her causing her to fall over. Black Phoenix caught herself on her hands and then she looked up moving her ponytail out her face to see Hunter standing on he hoover board hoovering above her.
"You mean assault you like that?" Danny asked with a smug smile at the teen on the ground
She growled and then with extraordinary speed she jumped up and sent Hunter flying with a kick in the stomach. She fell off her hover board. She grabbed it.
"If you destroy this, I'm betting she won't be able to chase us when we run. I can't be here all day." Phoenix said and Danny sighed
"Ghost proof," he said and Black Phoenix threw the board down or at least she tried to
The board shot off towards the tree and they saw that a certain hunter had jumped from the tree and onto it. "That's it, no more playing around."
Black Phoenix shook her head. She knew that voice from somewhere. It was... She was quickly snapped from her thoughts as the ghost hunter pulled out another gun. Black Phoenix watched it as her hair stiffened in defense for the attack.
"What's that?" she asked
"It's an ectoplasmic goo. It-" Danny was too late as Valerie shot the goo from the gun.
It hit Black Phoenix and she fell backwards. She tried to get up but found the glue kept her down. She glared at the ghost hunter and kept up her struggle but to no avail.
"If I can't get Ghost boy over there, you'll do." Hunter said as she pulled out another gun
Danny then knocked her out the sky and to the ground. "Only if I let you." he said and went to help Black Phoenix
Hunter stood up on her hoover board and narrowed her eyes under her mask. She was just about to shoot the gun when she was shot in the back with what looked like a silver film canister with a needle attached to it which was attached to a small thin silver piece of string. It stuck her above the shoulder and sent a powerful shock through her. It then pulled out and zoomed backwards to where ever it came from.
She turned around to look in the bush behind her but saw no one there. Hunter turned back around and almost lost her balance on he hoover board ready to attack when...
A short melody sounded and she took out her cellphone. She groaned when she saw the number.
"Dad," she looked at Danny Phantom, who was floating in front of that Goth Girl.
"We'll finish this later," she called and flew off.
"Rude much," Black Phoenix muttered dryly and Danny remembered he still had to get her out of the sticky goo.
She stood up. "Well, I guess it's save to assume I'm on her bad side, but now she's on mine and that's not a good thing for her."
"Do you know who shot that shock gun at Valerie." he asked her
"No," she said while thinking all the while of a certain dark haired girl, 'Aly,'
"I've already wasted too much of my time here. Catch ya' later Phantom." Black Phoenix cut through the forest to get to the other side of the park and went through the passage transforming back only when she was sure she wasn't being followed.
She found Aly in the Phoenix nest, which now had a silver table with a whole bunch of drawers that contained a lot of parts for various gadgets. There also happened to be a half built black motorcycle in the corner of the room.
"Sam, are you okay?" Aly asked jumping up.
"You shot the Fenton DNA extractor at Hunter?" she asked ignoring her first question
"Why it was no problem at all. You're my god-sister I had to save your life." Aly said sarcastically
Sam rolled her eyes and smiled. "Sorry, but did you?"
"Yeah, and it works. The needle got her blood." Aly said excitedly. "As soon as I told Silver Moon she went out to get parts to make a Phoenix DNA analyzer. Not to mention she's going to make her own version of the Fenton DNA extractor. Soon we'll not only be stopping gangs when they make the act, we'll also be able to keep track of their DNA and match up siblings and relatives."
"Well, whoopdy- doo." Sam muttered. "Do you know when she'll finish my bike?"
"She was working on it before I told her about the gadgets." Aly replied, "Besides you can't ride it until you turn sixteen and that's not until September of this year."
"It's not like Black Phoenix can go and get a license. It's no big deal. As long as I can ride it, I will." Sam countered
"True," Aly agreed. "I know that Hunter girl. She goes to school with us. I think she's Valerie Grey."
"Is she that girl with the long black hair and is always guarding her book bag like it's a piece of gold?" Sam asked raising an eyebrow.
Aly nodded. "Her voice is the same, she's the same size, and the cell phone in hunter's hand was the exact same one Valerie had along with the same ring."
"You got all that and you barely saw her two seconds?" Sam asked in disbelief
"You forget," Aly said raising an eyebrow, "I'm just a little observant."
Sam laughed at the understatement. "A little, ha, you're the most observant person on earth."
"Yeah well, once she get the Phoenix DNA extractor and Phoenix Analyzer built, we'll be on a roll." Aly said as she typed something into the search on the computer
Sam shook her head. "I don't need gadgets to do what I do."
"You don't need gadget to do what you do, but it wouldn't hurt to have them to help you fight with Danny Phantom." Aly said with a smile
"I only helped him because he was in a jam." Sam countered
"And because you like the ghost kid." Aly added the smile turning into a grin
"I do not," Sam denied
"Maybe not you, but Black Phoenix does." Aly said
"Uh- huh."
"You told him he could call you Phoenix and you wouldn't even let me call you that when you first got your powers. You barely know him and you're already letting him get close to you."
Sam turned red at that point.
"Two guys and a girl with an alter- ego. This is going to be one interesting ride." Aly clicking her tongue
-.oOOo.-
Hope you like. It's not too short, but not too long. Now time for your sneak peek:
"Hopefully they'll be too into each other to notice I'm gone." Black Phoenix muttered to herself and turned to walk away
"Hold it Goth Girl." both yelled
'Darnit,'
Black Phoenix turned around just as they shot their ecto- guns at her. There was no time for her to move, so she braced herself for the attack. Then she felt her feet leave the ground and the ecto- blast hit the area she had been in. She felt a pair of arms around her waist and then she looked up to see Danny Phantom's green eyes staring at her.
"You looked like you could use some help." he said
"From your enemies." she added
"Hey," Phantom said, "The day you decided you wouldn't mind partnering up with me sometimes, was the day my enemies became yours as well."
"Unfortunately... and I've already got enough on my hands." she muttered...
I hope you liked it.
