Hey guys, I'm back and no, I'm not dead. XD I was having a bit of Writer's Block. But don't worry! I got some help from (ironically) Phantomspirit12. Thanks again!

Speaking of her, if you read her story, Phantom: The Arrival, she will not be updating for a while. She is going out and wanted me to make sure people didn't think she died. XD Honestly, I should be putting this on Nightfang, considering more people that read her story probably read that too… Oh well!

Don't have much to say, really. If you make a pic of a character from this story or another story I made, tell me and I just might use it as a cover image. If you let me of course!

DISCLAIMER: I said it 4 other times, and I'll say it again. I don't own Danny, Jack, Jamie, Sam, Tuck, or any other characters from ROTG and DP. They belong to DreamWorks and Butch. Not BloodBlossom88. :) All I own is the Shadow Animals, sooo... COPY RIGHT! XD jkjk.

Phantom Spirit
Chapter 5: Halloween

Danny flew above the tree line of Canada, still laughing at his little prank. The sun was starting to do down, creating a beautiful, orange, red and yellow sunset on the horizon.

After he scared Jamie and his friends, Danny had noticed the temperature was starting to drop. Knowing that meant Jack was coming, the spirit flew away to avoid the sure-to-be-mad winter spirit.

After a while, he got bored and decided to leave a "gift" in Bunny's Warren. You can't blame him though. It's his holiday, he has to pass time till the night when the fun starts, and Bunny did compare him to Pitch.

Taking a deep breath, Danny flew towards Amity Park. On the way, he spotted some ghosts and Shadow Animals heading in the same direction. He told them all to meet there on Halloween so he could tell them what to do. He was glad they were all obeying.

'Time to get our scare on,' he though with a smile.

X.X.X.X.X

Jack flew around Burgess for a while before deciding the Halloween spirit wasn't there. 'He couldn't have gotten far, right?' he asked himself.

As he flew above the Burgess forest, the winter spirit racked his brain for where his friend would go on his holiday. He gave up and just searched the towns near Burgess, determined to find Danny.

The sun was starting to set and Jack still found no trace of the Phantom of Halloween. 'Come on Jack! Where would he go! Probably meeting the ghosts and Shadows somewhere, but where?!'

As he thought of some towns, he stopped in midair, the wind holding him up. Face palming, he exclaimed, "No duh! Amity!"

With his course set, he shot off towards the Wisconsin.

As he neared the town, he spotted a flash of grey on the ground. Diving down to investigate, Jack found Bunny zipping through the trees in the same direction he was headed.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Jack asked the overgrown rabbit.

Said rabbit stopped and flicked around to face Jack. His expression was one of pure annoyance and anger. "I'm out to kill that bloody friend of yours!"

Rolling his eyes, Jack landed on the ground with his staff carelessly placed on his shoulder. "What he do now?"

"He left Jack-o-Lanterns all over my Warren!"

"So? Throw them away."

"Ya didn't let meh finish," he growled, his eye twitching in anger. "He left a bloody shadow kangaroo ta guard em. I am not the Easter Kangaroo!"

Jack tried to stifle his laughter. Key word: tried. He had been there when Danny got that Kangaroo. Nightbound was what he thought he named it. It was a while ago and the winter spirit hadn't seen him in a while. 'Have to admit though; it did look a lot like Bunny!'

Taking a deep breath, he looked back at the angered Bunny, still smiling. "Look, you go handle Nightbound and I'll talk to Danny. I really need to speak to him anyway."

Grumbling a "Yah better," Bunny tapped his foot twice and hopped into his newly opened rabbit hole. As soon as the hole was closed, a pink Dragon Snap [Check thoughs out! They're neat and you can make them talk (sort of)!] was the only indication that the hole was even there. Jack fell to his knees in laughter at Danny's prank.

X.X.X.X.X

Danny motioned for the gathering ghosts and animals to land in a large clearing in the forest near Amity. As soon as he landed he started to send them off to towns, cities, and countries.

"Skulker, you and Night head to Spokane," he ordered. Night, an eagle, flew towards the mechanical ghost and they took off. "Ember, follow Stella to Paris." A black poodle took off to the East with the rock star close behind. "Boxy, go to Burgess with Pepper."

Nodding, the Box ghost looked around. "Um… who was Pepper again?"

Face palming, Danny pointed to the fox standing right in front of the lame ghost. Pepper shook her head and grabbed his hat in her mouth before taking off towards Burgess. "Hey!" the box obsessed ghost shouted before speeding towards her.

Rolling his green eyes, the spirit continued sending the ghosts out until it was just him, Shadow and Midnight. He noticed Star wasn't there, but he figured he wouldn't be able to do much anyway, considering he's only a few months old. By the time he was done, it was already dark.

"Well, let's get this party started!" he exclaimed, pulling his hood up and shooting off towards Amity.

Landing on one of the street lights with his two animal friends floating next to him, Danny scanned the streets for their first victim.

After a few moments, Shadow pawed at his master and shot of towards a group of kids, Danny and Midnight not too far behind.

A rather large blond haired boy was holding a red haired nerdy boy by his underwear while other large jocks stood around and laughed.

Feeling a pang of anger at the boy for ruining this kids holiday, along with reasons he didn't know, Danny's eyes glowed a brighter green and fog started to roll in. He snapped his fingers, causing the street lights burst. He flinched at this. 'Calm down, Danny! Stop breaking the town property!'

He nodded towards Shadow to signal him to start it off. The coyote growled and slowly floated to the ground. The jocks slowly stopped laughing and turned towards the sound. All eyes were on Shadow.

The blond dropped the boy and smiled. "What's a little puppy doing out here?"

Shadow's pupils enlarged to where you couldn't see the green,and charged the leader.

The jocks stood their ground until the coyote stopped in front of the leader and bared his fangs. Laughing, the blond raised his fist and tried to punch the canine's jaw.

But his hand when right through, little specks of black mist following it.

This caught the attention of the other bullies and Danny smirked. Clicking his tongue twice, Danny signaled Shadow to distract them. His front paws rose first, followed by the rest of his body until he was floating in front of the kids. The leader took a step back, his face full of shock.

Danny turned towards Midnight and nodded his head towards the boy still on the floor in the middle of the group of jocks. Nodding back, the young fawn took off towards the frightened nerd.

Shadow's eyes flickered to Midnight for a brief second before going back to the jocks. He slowly swayed his tail back and forth and lifted his head to howl to the moon.

Taking this as her cue, the fawn zipped in, snatched the boy by his shirt and brought him to the street. When she set him down he whipped around to stare at her. A bark brought his gaze back to the terrified and confused bullies.

Shadow brought his head back down and barked, baring his teeth again. The boys all backed up until they were all up against the building wall. Glaring at them, Shadow turned to mist and disappeared. The jocks scanned around to make sure he was truly gone before sighing in relief.

Before they could stalk back to the nerd, another howl sounded and more mist took form into a larger coyote, about as tall as the jocks themselves. Upon seeing this, the boys screamed and scattered in all directions, leaving their leader to face the shadow beast all alone.

The coyote bared his fangs at the jock, a large growl emitting from its throat. He raised his paw as if about to strike when he noticed a small puddle forming around the bully's feet, along with a wet spot on the front of his pants. The coyote growled, though it sounded more like laughter, and stepped back from the kid, letting him run away.

Danny fell to his knees in hilarity. Something about the jock leader wetting his pants brought great joy to the spirit.

Shadow watched him go as he once again turned to mist and reformed in front of the smaller boy in his regular size. The boy was scared at first. But Shadow just sat down, wagged his tail, and panted with his tongue lolling.

He smiled and patted the coyote on the head. Danny smirked and jumped down next to Shadow. Midnight pranced around his head again and both her and Shadow turned to mist and followed Danny away.

The rest of the night they spent scaring the kids and helping them with bullies trying to steal candy. Surprisingly, Danny didn't see any sign of "Tucker" and his girlfriend, whom he forgot the name of. Honestly, the Phantom of Halloween could see him dressing up as some kind of technology or something.

He laughed just at the thought of the geek wearing a lab coat, a white spiked wig, and sunglasses while trying to talk "hip."

He landed in an alleyway and peaked around a corner, even though no one could see him, to look for anymore kids. A whine pulled him out of his thoughts. Looking down, Danny saw a slightly distressed Star looking up at him with his front paws on his shins. "What is it, Star?" he asked with a frown.

"There you are!"

Turning around, Danny laughed nervously as Jack landed not too far from him. Before Danny could fly away, Jack said, "I've been looking everywhere for you. Every time I find you, you shoot off to another area of the town, leaving behind either a scared to death jock or a smiling kid." He pointed his staff towards Danny. "I need to talk to you."

Danny put his hands in the air. "Hey, I only scared them for revenge, Jack! Don't mean any harm!"

Jack leaned against his staff. "That I'll talk to you about later," he said with a slight smirk. "But right now-"

Star howled slightly and whined again. Looking towards Jack, Danny held up a finger. "This will have to wait for a bit, Jack. I'll be right back."

With this, Danny followed the wolf pup as they left the alley he was in and towards the park. There waiting for them was Pepper and the Box Ghost. Midnight and Shadow paused in the air with Star while Danny approached them. As he got closer, a familiar warm feeling came upon him.

"What is it?" he asked. Pepper turned towards him and moved out of the way for him to see behind them. "Oh." A little rabbit sat limply on the grass, its large back foot bleeding from what looked like bullet wound. 'I thought guns weren't allowed in Burgess?!'

"We found him like this in the forest," Boxy said in his usual "Fear me, I'm trying to be scary" voice. "Pepper motioned for me to follow and brought it here. I don't know why, though." He looked towards the wolf pup and said in a more normal voice, "As for Star, I think he was looking for Midnight."

Danny floated above the rabbit to land on the opposite side so he could get a closer look at the wound. The warm feeling intensified. After all the months Danny had been a spirit, he realized this feeling didn't come with just any dying animals. It only happened when the animal was pure of heart.

Jack flew in behind the animals. "Really, Danny! I really need to… Oh." Said shadow mammals parted to allow him through and walked/flew towards the rabbit. Soon, all that were present were sitting around the injured animal, Jack standing with his back to the park entrance.

Danny's eyes glowed brighter and he placed his hand on the brown animal. The Halloween spirit's hand started to glow a blinding green. Jack and the Box Ghost squinted and tried to block the light with their hand while the others looked unfazed. The light seeped into the brown fur before disappearing completely. The teen stood as the rabbit stopped breathing.

Danny held his breath. Sometimes, if the animal didn't want to, his power wouldn't work. It didn't work for one of Star's sister, the only other of his family with a pure heart.

"Uh… Was that supposed to happen?" the Box Ghost asked to try and break the awkward silence.

Star paced towards the rabbit and sniffed. Being the newest of the Shadow Animals, he didn't quite get what was happening.

A black mist bled out of the wound and made a mini tornado. Star yelped and jumped back as Boxy watched in awe.

The mist made a tiny explosion, causing little bits of mist to spread like a mini firework. In the middle was a black version of the dead body on the floor, little puffs of smoke coming off its fur like fire.

Danny smiled, both at the little rabbit and the look on Boxy's face. "Welcome to the world, Dusk," he addressed the rabbit. 'Bunny is so going to kill me,' he thought with a smirk. Then, remembering his prank, he added, 'Twice.'

Dusk jumped into the air and leaped around the group, little mist trailing behind him. Jack smiled. 'Reminds me of that snow bunny I made for Jamie,' he thought happily.

Star yelped joyfully and started to chase it playfully. The two weaved between everyone. Soon, Shadow, Midnight, and even Pepper joined in the little game. After a while, even the Box Ghost joined in. Danny laughed his smile barley showing under the shadow of his hood. Jack smirked and tapped his staff on the ground in front of him, causing ice to form.

Dusk hopped over the ice, along with Midnight. But as Star neared it, he stumbled. Shadow shook his head and picked him up by the scruff.

The three dead humans laughed as Star pawed at Shadow's muzzle in embarrassment when he put him down.

All excitement was gone at the sound of an ectogun charging.

MUHAHAHAH! Cliffy! XD

Well, yesterday I turned 14 and had to go to a family reunion. I was stuck in a car for three hours with my mom, grandparents, brother and his girlfriend. I don't mind too much. But my dad got to stay at home with the dogs because he might have had to go to work. Key word: Might :/ He didn't leave until we got back. -_-

You'd think it's his birthday. XD jkjk. I actually had a lot of fun with my cousin.

Follow, favorite, and review please! I love to read what you guys think. Cookies for anyone who can guess who had the ectogun! :)
