Author's Note: This is my first attempt at a Danny Phantom fanfic and I apologize if some of the characters are not in character. This fanfic, as the title and first chapter may say, is what I think will happen when Danielle "Dani" Phantom returns. This fanfic is suppose to be a movie episode of the series and there is ONE big twist in the plot that you will see. I'll leave you with this one statement concerning Danielle before you read: Do you really think that Vlad is going to let her off the hook that easily by betraying him?

Major Notice: To all new readers; this 'fic is set in a timeline that I've established and spoilers from Season 3 will not appear. Some may appear and some may not. This 'fic is set some time after "Kindred Spirits" at the end of Season 2.

Kindred Spirits Reunite

Chapter One

"The Return Dani Phantom"

"Amity Park: A Calm Place to Live" as the billboards say throughout the town has always been a modest town to live in. However, this was not until an increased amount of paranormal activities that hadn't happened in the town's history since its founding. This town does have a hero who watches over the city as he protects it from these malevolent spirits. He's a ghostbuster (no, not the Ghostbusters of New York City fame) with ghostly powers named Danny Phantom. Danny Phantom was once called 'Inviso-Bill' (much to his dismay) before shouting out his name to the city as he went after a ghost that was accidentally released by his arch nemesis, Vlad Plasmius. Danny Phantom also has a secret identity by the name Daniel "Danny" Fenton.

Danny Fenton is just your average everyday teenager with his own teenage problems. He has his best friends, Samantha "Sam" Mason and Tucker Foley, his own enemies (human that is) Dash Baxter along with the other jocks, and his family, his parents: Jack and Madeline "Maddie" Fenton, and his older sister: Jasmine "Jazz" Fenton. Only three people (five including "one seriously crazed-up fruit loop," a handful of other ghosts, and a twelve year old girl) know of his dual identity. His two best fiends knew of his powers ever since the laboratory accident with the Fenton Ghost Portal and his sister found out after witnessing him transform but she waited until he was ready to tell her before letting on that she already knew.

His parents know nothing of his dual identity and for an extremely good reason; they're ghost hunters. His father has been quoted on more than one occasion when he's angry at ghosts by "ripping them apart molecule by molecule" while his mother wants to study them instead of vaporizing them. His parents, most notably his dad, have often caused misery for himself and his sister, Jazz. They haven't actually caught a ghost successfully and this doesn't include Danny (as the local ghost hero, Danny Phantom) allowing himself to be captured just to get his dad out of the rut he was in since he mistook Mr. Lancer, the local school teacher and Vice-Principal at Casper High, for a ghost. Jazz wishes that they do more constructive things with their lives that don't include ghosts but this proves impossible; however, she now sees ghost hunting to be fun since she had let on she knew Danny's secret to him.

Today marks the third week of no ghost attacking the city (including Danny), that is if you don't count some "minor" annoyances, and Danny was going to enjoy his day at the carnival with his friends. Jazz was also walking with him since she too was going to the carnival for some fun only to get away from her dad's constant nagging to see his latest ghost catching and/or Fenton gadget. Danny Fenton is an average fourteen year old with spiked black hair and aquatic blue eyes and Jazz is a sixteen year old with waist length red hair with a blue headband and aquatic blue eyes.

"It feels great not to have to worry about anymore ghosts attacking," Danny said after a sigh as he stretched as they turned the block that led straight to the fairgrounds.

"I'm just glad that you recovered from where the Box Ghost had hit you since last night," Jazz replied as if she was scolding him and yet, there was concern in her voice.

"Jazz," his tone know changed from carefree to that of being annoyed, "he's more of an annoyance then a threat."

"He's also getting stronger, according to you," she countered before adding, "and a punching bag for your misplaced aggression."

"Hey," Danny said as he rubbed the back of his head and let out a laugh, "everyone needs stress relief and mine's the Box Ghost."

"Yes, I know," she sighs, "but yours is the strangest one of all."

Danny started to laugh while Jazz shared a suppressed chuckle. It was true that Danny used the Box Ghost as a punching bag for his misplaced aggression, but he does sometimes use that aggression on other ghosts that he encounters at times. Their laughter was interrupted by the sound of a weapon being fired; however, it one that uses lasers instead of bullets. They both stopped at the sounds to see two figures flying away from the fairgrounds and one of them appeared to be a ghost, but Danny's Ghost Sense didn't go off. The one that was chasing the "ghost" appeared to be someone dressed in a high-tech suit flying on a jet board of some sort. People started to scatter and scream at the sounds of the blasts.

"Danny," Jazz spoke with some concern noticing that his Ghost Sense didn't go off, "is Valerie chasing a ghost?"

"No," Danny replied as he watched the figures coming closer, "my Ghost Sense doesn't go off if there's no ghost around, if a person is being overshadowed, or if Vlad's around." Then he felt as if he was hit with a ton of bricks as his eyes became as wide as saucers as he realized who Valerie could be chasing.

"Danny," her voice now had a worried tone when she noticed the look in his eyes, "what are you not telling me?"

The blasts were now overhead and they got a good look at who Valerie was chasing. It appeared to be a girl around Danny's age dressed in an inverted black and white suit cutting from her left shoulder down to her opposite waist revealing her abdomen. Her right arm was white with a black glove which had the colors inverted on the left side and high heeled white boots that came to a point at her knees with a P inside a D on her chest while she had a ghostly glow around her. Her long snow-white hair tied up in a ponytail fluttering in the wind away from her pale skin as she moved dodging the attacks Valerie was dishing out. She was chased a few blocks down before being knocked out of the sky and into an alley after hitting the side of the building causing minimum damage while she screamed, which confirmed that she was a girl, before going out of sight with Valerie still chasing her.

Danny was now shaking with anger and he closed his eyes while he tried to calm down with both of his fists clenched. "Danny, what are you--" she cut herself off when Danny opened his eyes. They were no longer their aquatic blue; they were now glowing green and his face looked like several years of anger had just been released at once. She knew that they turned that when he was his alter ego Danny Phantom or when he was more than a little ticked off. A growl started to escape from deep within his throat.

"Valerie!" he growled while he gritted his teeth but it sounded more like a primal growl and this scared Jazz. "If you," he takes off into the nearby alley with Jazz chasing after him while calling his name, "harm one hair," a pair of white rings appear around his midsection and began to separate into opposite directions as he turns the corner, "on her head!" With his transformation complete, he was now his alter ego, Danny Phantom, dressed in a white belted black suit with white gloves and boots with a P inside a D on his chest. His skin became pale, his hair was now snow-white, his eyes were glowing green, and he had a ghostly glow around him. His voice had an echo effect that made him even more ghostlier, "I swear that I'll," he took off into the air tuning invisible as he phased through buildings while he left his stunned sister behind, "rip that suit of yours molecule by molecule!"

Danny phased through the last building to find the two on the ground. Valerie was standing over her downed foe with her mini-blasters focused on her prey and they were charging up for an attack. He flew, still invisible, towards the end of the alley before flying towards the two. Danny puts all of his strength into his punch that he had sent Valerie off of her jet board and into a nearby dumpster knocking the lid down on her as the jet board lands a few feet from where its rider had landed.

He reappears putting a wedge between Valerie and the downed teen. "Are you okay?" as he turns to her with his anger softened and replaced with concern.

"Am I so glad to see you!" she replies also with an echo effect as she stands up panting slightly. "She's been chasing me for the past--" she was cut off by the sound of a blaster and the sound of the lid coming off of the dumpster and landing on the ground with a loud thud.

"So Ghost Boy," Valerie shouts as she leaps out of the dumpster covered with rubbish as she lands on her hover board noticing Danny Phantom's presence, "she is related to you! Good," she cracked a merciless smile behind her tinted visor, "this will be twice as sweet when I eliminate the both of you!"

"Valerie!" his anger had just resurface as if it had just been multiplied tenfold while he spooked the young teen behind him, "Hurt her again and I'll personally rip that suit of yours apart piece by piece with you in it!" his eyes glowed a darker shade of green and his hands glowed an eerie shade of green too.

"You wouldn't dare!" Valerie angrily snapped back as she pulled out a hidden blaster in her wrist knowing that Danny Phantom wouldn't go through with his threat; at least she didn't think that he would.

"Try me!" he retorted as they faced nose to nose with each other as they growled at one another.

They both continued to growl at one another until they heard a piece of tin hitting the ground. They all looked down to see a small cylindrical canister rolling towards them and you could almost feel the tension in the atmosphere that you could cut it with a knife.

"What the?" Valerie asked and her question was soon answered.

The canister exploded and expelled a gas that caught everyone by surprise. They all started coughing and gasping for air as they were disoriented. Danny tried to help the teen that he was protecting by flying away but his ghost powers seemed to have been neutralized. They all soon fell to the ground and succumbed to unconsciousness while Danny and the one he was protecting returned to their human forms. They were soon unaware that someone was coming out of the shadows wearing a gas mask.

It seemed to be another ghost with broad shoulders dressed in what appears to be for hunting with flaming green flame for hair and a flaming green beard of fire. His green eyes glowed through the gas as it soon dissipated. He removed his gas mask by pressing a button on his wrist and he also opened a communicator to an unknown source.

"I've caught the whelp, Sir," his voice spoke with an echo effect while he kept a smug look on his face.

"Excellent work, Skulker! Bring him to me," a voice replied.

"I've also caught that idiotic ghost hunter that gets in my way and a female half-ghost."

"Female half-ghost? What does she look like?" he seemed puzzled but wanted to confirm if he heard right.

"She seems to be a twin of the whelp, but--"

"Leave the ghost hunter," the man interrupted waving his hand, "since I might find some use for her in the future and return to me with the two half-ghosts."

"Yes Sir!" and the line went dead leaving the man that Skulker was talking to alone.

He was a man with snow-white hair tied up in a ponytail with aquatic blue eyes and a white beard. He wore a smug look on his face and it seemed to get worse at what Skulker had just told him. He was dressed in a black suit with a tie that made him look like a businessman. This man's name is Vladimir "Vlad" Masters.

Vlad Masters was a shrewd businessman, but he didn't get to where he was today by being modest. Over twenty years ago, he was in college with his former best friend, Jack Fenton, and the love of his life, Maddie in Wisconsin. They were trying to get a prototype ghost portal to work but when Jack accidentally puts diet soda into the ecto-filter. The accident caused Vlad to get Ecto-Acne and get his hair bleached white. That day he lost the love of his life, Maddie, but he gained ghost powers. He used his powers for personal gain and to get back at Jack by humiliating him for the accident and for stealing Maddie away from him. Vlad would've succeeded in winning over Maddie if Danny hadn't stepped in the way to put a stop to his plans.

Vlad tried on several occasions to get Danny to betray his dad and join him but this proved impossible. He tried killing Jack with some of his experimental pets when he separated Maddie and Danny away from him but this failed when Jack and Jazz fought the ghosts. The most recent, and probably most ridiculous, scheme he tried next was to clone Danny, but this failed when one of his close to perfect clones, Danielle, betrayed him due to her refusal to follow orders and that she also had a free will. Now he has what he needs for his plans since he now holds the key to the perfect clone.

"So Danielle," he spoke as he left the monitors that he was watching, "you thought that you are really getting off the hook that easily without any consequences by betraying me? It seems that the program that I had implanted into you is working perfectly for such an emergency and I'm sure that you and Daniel will have some questions concerning this. As for you Daniel," he turns back to the monitors that showed several videos of Danny transforming, "I have found a way to get what I want and you shall bare witness to my perfect son, and," his eyes turned to other videos of a young girl that appeared to be twelve that looked strikingly similar to Danny transforming, "to witness the end of the one that you considered your cousin!"


Post Author's Note: I can't seem to be the page breaks working at the moment and I apologize for that. How do you like it thus far? Before you go to flame and bite my head off, yes Danielle is fourteen and you have to re-read what Vlad had just said since it's important. You will find out more in the next chapter. I hope that everyone is in character since I'm working off from reruns of the series and research I got from Wikipedia . org.
