Summary: Danny Fenton and family end up going to Jump City for a ghost convention (oh, how original!) and Danny meets the Teen Titans! (Yippy!)
Disclaimer: I don't own anything related to Danny Phantom or the Teen Titans. Somebody with a lot more creative genius does. And how I hate them!
I'm setting this up pre Reign Storm. This still makes Danny public ghost enemy number one and works a lot better with the Titans I think.
SLAM!
"Oh, man! It's the beginning of summer break! Finally!" Came a jubilant cry of joy from none other than fourteen year old Danny Fenton, a.k.a Danny Phantom. The teenage superhero leapt onto the couch and prepared to surf the channels.
Danny had been very fortunate in the final few weeks leading up to the big summer break. There had been no major ghost activity (other than the box ghost and his ongoing obsession, boxes) and it had really given Danny a chance to do better in school. Thankfully, his grades had improved to the point that his parents were no longer hounding him like they had been. Just as he settle on a program of choice his father blasted through the door.
"Danny! Get you're bags packed as soon as possible! Were going on a vacation to Jump City, California!" Jack Fenton exclaimed happily.
Danny blinked twice. "A vacation? Whoa, Jump City? Woo hoo!" He cheered. He quickly ran to his room to pack. On his way he met up with his older sister, Jazz, short for Jasmine.
"Hey did you hear?.."
"Yeah! Can you believe it?" She exclaimed She then ran for her room to pack while Danny went to his.
A few minutes later the entire Fenton family was loaded up in the Fenton Family Ghost Assault Vehicle, or simply the rv as it was sometimes called. Jack was driving and wearing one of those ridiculous hats with two soda cans on either sides on his head. Maddie, his wife, was riding shotgun and had out the road map and helping with directions. Jazz and Danny were in back; Jazz had brought along one of her psychology books for the trip while Danny played a game on his Gameboy.
"By the way kids, did your father tell you one of the reasons we were going on this trip?" Maddie asked her two children. The two looked at one another before shaking their heads. Maddie smiled. "Because of the ghost convention they'll have there!"
Jazz's face fell and Danny stifled a groan. How could I have missed this? Danny asked himself. He should've known that there was something more to this whole trip than simply a vacation. Had he'd known about the convention he would've simply asked to stay at his friend Tucker's while they were gone.
Danny knew his whole summer was ruined.
A few hours later the country slowly turned into the city as the Fenton family came closer to Jump City. By now Danny had become bored with the gameboy and was now looking out at the new surroundings. One of the first things to catch his attention was the city's bay and an island and a huge 'T' shaped building sitting on it. "What's that?" he asked pointing to the odd building.
"Titan's Tower." came an answer. Danny was surprised when Jazz had answered him.
"Titan's Tower?" He asked. She sighed and nodded while putting down her psychology book. "You've never heard of it?" she asked. Danny shook his head.
"Well, it's a tower that's home to five teenage crime fighters that defend the city." Jazz explained. Danny was still surprised on how she knew this. "Let's see, there's Robin, he's the leader of the team, Raven, who I think is a goth. Cyborg, he's, well, a cyborg," She gave a slight laugh at the irony . "Then there's Starfire, who from what I understands is an alien from another planet." Danny's eyes went wide at that one. "And finally there's this little guy named Beast Boy." She said his name in an almost dreamy state. "He's a shape shifter and can make himself look like any animal he wants." She was blushing slightly now and Danny noticed but didn't say anything. "Ahem, that's all I know about them." She said while grabbing her book and going on with her reading.
"How exactly do you know so much about them?" Danny asked.
"The internet, the news, papers. Anything, Danny." She replied in an irritated tone. "They are quite popular, you know."
"Uh, ok." Danny decided not to bother her anymore with questions and turned back to give the tower more glance as they drove further into the city.
The motel hadn't been to hard to find thanks to Maddie's directions. Had Jack been trying to read the map there was no telling where they would've ended up. After checking in and unloading the rv, the family went into their rooms.
Danny and Jazz were sharing one as their parents were taking another. Of course both rooms were adjacent to one another in case somebody needed to talk to another without making a long walk. Danny was already on his bed bored flipping through channels
CLICK!
"Can you hear me now?"
CLICK!
"….call me now for your free reading!"
CLICK!
"…and in other news, the Teen Titans have agreed…"
CLICK!
"Danny wait, there's something on there about the Titans!" Jazz said excitedly. She sat down on the bed next to him as he flipped back to the news report.
"…the Titan's will be on hand this year at Jump City fair grounds to display their powers and sign autographs for their fans for charity this year. All Titans fans are encouraged to come. The show is stated to start at 3:00 this afternoon. I know I'll be there." In a bit of humor the reporter pulled his shirt apart to show that he was a Teen Titans fan. "This is Lance Porter reporting live from…"
CLICK!
"Oh my gosh we have to go and see them!" Jazz squealed. Now Danny was looking at his sister with a pure look of horror on his face. Was she actually squealing? Like a fan girl? No. It couldn't be.
Or could it?
Incredibly enough, Danny and Jazz had received permission to goto the show while their parents went over the next day's plans for the convention. The two siblings were now waiting in line to get their tickets for the show. "I can't believe they let us come to this." Danny commented.
"Me neither." Jazz added. "But anything to get away from those two when they 're like this is worth it." Danny nodded, know exactly what she was talking about. Right now they were mounting piles of their inventions and sorting through which ones they wanted to take and display. No doubt if they'd stayed they would've had to helped.
Finally, after what seemed an eternity, the Fenton children had bought their tickets and made their way into the jam packed stands. It seemed as if everyone, young and old, had come out to see their city's cherished protectors, Danny noticed. It was something he wished for sometimes. To be hailed as a hero by the citizens of Amity Park instead of being seen as just another ghost.
A young man walked out and onto the stage. "Hello everyone! Are you ready for a great show today or what?" Cheers came from the audience. "Well now, if everyone's ready, here they are. The protector's of our beloved city, the Teen Titans!"
The audience screamed again as the man walked off stage and the lights began to get low. All of the sudden out of no where a young man with spiked hair wearing a mask swung in low. There were several shouts of "Robin" and "I love you!" from most of the girls in the audience.
Next up, a silver car pulled up and out stepped a young African-American teen that had silver colored componets on his body. He walked up to the stage and let a lout 'boo-yah!' for the crowd.
From the left and right came two teenage girls and Danny had to admit that he was impressed. Both girls appeared to be flying and coming to a landing on the stage. One girl had orange hair and green eyes and wore a purple top with matching mini skirt and long boots. The other had pale skin, violet colored hair and eyes with a black suit and matching cloak behind it.
Finally, an emerald green tiger rushed on stage. Danny almost flipped out when he saw it thinking that it was a ghost but, oddly enough, his ghost sense never went off. The green tiger let out a blood-curdling roar before morphing into a green skinned boy with green eyes and purple and black jump suit. He gave the crowd a bow before joining with his friends.
"Hey everybody!" The teen with spiked hair said. Several girls in the stands fanned themselves with books or other objects while one even tried rushing the stage although she never made it. "I'm Robin of the Teen Titans!" There were even more cheers that time. "Were here today to pay back our thanks to the citizens of the city!" More cheers. " And now I'm gonna turn it over to my good buddy, Cyborg!"
Cyborg took the mike. "Boo-yah!" He gave his trademark cheer. "Like my little buddy, Robbie here said." There was some laughter in the stands and Robin raised his eyebrow. "Were here today to show the people of this city how much we appreciate their support!" The crowd cheered. "All of the things we do here we've had the proper training to do so. So don't go trying to do this at home!" A few people laughed. He handed the mike back to Robin who introduced the rest of the team.
"Everybody, say hello to our two female team members, Starfire and Raven!" People in the crowd cheered. A few guys gave whistles and catcalls, especially to the you read headed Tamaranian. "And last but not least, Beast Boy!" The crowd then went mostly silent except for a few girls who were a little off their rocker's. Like Jazz.
Danny gave his sister a shocked look as she screamed out Beast Boy's name. Then, noticing that most of the crowd were now looking at her, she shrunk back into her seat, blushing furiously.
"Now is everyone ready?" There were several cheers and screams from the crowd. "Alright then. Titan's Go!"
The teens then started to go serious and complex set of routines and maneuvers as they displayed their skills for the fans. The crowd watched in awe until they done and rewarded with standing ovation.
Danny was completely dumbstruck as he watched the Titans go through show for the crowd. Obviously, he thought, these guys have been doing this for a long time compared to the seven or so months since I became Danny Phantom. Once they were done the crowd immediately stood up and began clapping for them with Danny and Jazz joining in.
Unbeknowst to the Titans, Danny, or the crowd, a figure was watching the event not far was. "Hrm." he said to himself while he looked on at the show through a pair of high tech binoculars. "Yes, she would make an excellent collection to my trophy room." The ghost known as Skulker said with a deadly smile. He pocketed the binoculars and pressed a button on his control pad activating a rocket pack. Turning intangible, he rocketed towards the fair grounds.
Danny had to admit, he was enjoying the show. This had been the perfect get away for he and his sister. He glanced over at Jazz who was still staring at a certain green elf on the field. Danny rolled his eyes and began to look at the other Titans when all the sudden his ghost sense went off.
Danny began looking around trying to see if he could spot the ghost. His mind began to wonder as to why there was a ghost here, now. As he was trying to figure that out he noticed something suddenly turn solid in front of the Titans.
It was Skulker.
The Titans jumped back in surprise when the large ghost with flaming hair just appeared out of no where and right in front of them. He did not pay them any attention, thought. He was only looking at the girl. "Ah yes." he commented. "How extremely rare. Almost as rare as the ghost child himself." He grinned maliciously. "You'll make the perfect addition to my collection.
The girl in the cloak merely raised an eyebrow at the ghost. "I don't know who you are or what you want but I'm not going to be any part of anyone's collection." She snapped. The ghost laughed.
"I am Skulker, the greatest hunter and collector in the entire ghost zone! You think that you could honestly take me on by yourself?" Skulker sneered.
"Maybe she couldn't but she can with her friends!" Yelled Robin. "Titans, Go!"
Starfire took to the air and began hurtling star bolts towards the ghost while Cyborg charged his sonic cannon. Beast Boy changed himself into a ram and began to run towards him. Skulker simply went intangible as the star bolts, cannon blast, and a green ram went flying through him.
Skulker became solid again and turned from watching Beast Boy to see Robin coming hurtling a birdarang. The ghost laughed and pressed a button on his control panel. A projectile launched out of his backpack and sliced the birdarang into pieces causing Robin to momentarily gasp.
The rest of the crowd, thinking that this was part of the show, began cheering on the Titans. However Jazz and Danny knew the truth. Danny was still trying to figure out how to get away from his sister and the crowd so he could go ghost. His sister yelling at him brought him back to the present.
"Danny, I , er, need to go call mom and dad1 Go find somewhere safe to hide!" Danny just blinked at his sister before nodding and running off.
Danny ran the steps and into a hallway. He noticed that it was totally vacant. Perfect, he thought.
"I'm going ghost!" Suddenly two rings formed around his midsection and traveled up and down his body changing him from Danny Fenton to Danny Phantom. Danny went intangible and flew into the crowded stadium.
As soon as he got there he noticed that the Titans weren't doing so well. Apparently they've never fought against a ghost, Danny thought. He turned tangible and blasted Skulker. "Hands off!" he yelled as he blasted him.
Skulker was slightly dazed from the blast but snapped out of it when he saw Danny. "The ghost child!" He bellowed. "What are you doing here?" he demanded as he prepared to attack him.
"Stopping you!" Danny screamed and shot another ectoplasmic blast at the ghost but he managed to avoid it.
By this time the Titans had recovered well enough to see that someone else was now fighting Skulker. The boy, with snow white hair and glowing green eyes, fired another blast of green energy at the other being although he missed.
"Who is that?" Beast Boy asked. The other Titans were unsure. They'd never seen anybody like him before.
"Ghost child, you test my patience." Skulker growled. This time he fired a missle towards the Titans. Danny tried to race to get in front of the weapon and try to stop it but was to slow…
"Azerath Metrion Zinthos! Came a chant from girl in the cloak. All the sudden a shield of black energy appeared in front of the Titans protecting them from missile.
Skulker looked stunned. That weapon should've easily taken out his quarry and eliminated her friends but she had been able to readily stop it. Discouraged but not ready to give up the ghost prepared for one more blast when and ecto-blast from behind drove him into the ground. He turned around to notice that Danny was hovering in the air with his hands glowing from ecto energy.
"We shall meet again, child." He snarled to Raven. Before anybody could stop him he reactivated his jet pack and blasted away from the scene. Danny sighed; the energy dissipated from his hands and he landed on the ground. When he open his eyes he found the five heroes were walking towards him.
"Uh, hi." he said hesitantly. The boy with spiked hair stopped in front of him.
"Who are you?" he asked, clearly happy that someone had helped them but also suspicious at the same time.
Danny looked at the young man. "Danny Phantom."
The other teen nodded then smiled and offered his hand. "Robin, of the Teen Titans. Welcome to Jump City."
