Chapter 4: The Phantom Ranger
Previously
"Not so fast...'A new voice called, getting the outlaw's attention.
Danny, still invisible, blinked.
That voice...he can't explain it, but it's familiar.
He looked up and his jaw drop at what he saw, before letting out a gasp.
What the heck?!..."Danny let out, when he finally saw who this new guy was.
A new guy came on a white horse, and this guy made Danny's jaw drop. He is another cowboy, and his face is covered by a black bandana. He is wearing a white, ten gallon hat, with a black accent on it, a black cowboy shirt with white cuffs, old fashioned gloves that are dyed white as well, black pants, white holsters, white cowboy boots with black spurs, and a white belt that has a DP buckle on it. Danny can't see his face or his hair color, but he can see glowing green eyes. Masked or not, Danny could see that he is the same height and build as him and even their voices are the same...though this guy is speaking with a southern accent.
Dash The Kid looked angry when he saw this guy, as where his men.
"The Phantom Ranger?!..."Dash The Kid shouted in outrage at the unwanted presence of this masked man.
"No way..."Danny whispered when it finally dawned on him what is going on here.
This is an alternate version of his home and if that is so...this must be an alternate version of Danny Phantom...
Present Time
Main Danny stood there agape, but thankfully still invisible and he saw his western doppelganger take on western Dash and his gang out outlaws.
"Dash The Kid, it seems ya'll have a short memory...since you forgot what happened the last time ya'll's came waltzing into my town...and as ya'll know, this town ain't big enough for the both of us..."The Phantom Ranger said as he sent a glare to the criminal.
"I do declare that things will be different this time, Phantom Ranger, this time I brought my boys with me!...'Dash the Kid said as he pointed to his gang, who all pulled out their guns and pointed them to the direction of the masked hero.
"10 against one, huh? I reckon that ain't exactly a fair fight...'The Phantom Ranger said..."but I ain't got time to waist for ya'll to call in for reinforcements...'The masked hero mocked.
"Let's get'em, men..."Dash The Kid ordered as he and his men rode their horses and tried to fight the western hero.
However the Phantom Ranger rode his horse, stood on it and immediately leaped so high in the air, someone could swear that he was almost flying... he also kicked Dash the Kid off of his horse, which continued to ride away without a rider.
'AH!...'Dash the Kid yelped as he painfully landed to the ground, with the masked hero on him, and he immediately jumped off, even doing a graceful backflip as he did so.
The then turned to Dash's gang, who got off of their horses and tried shooting at him.
"DAGUMMIT!...'One shouted as they tried to shoot.
However, Phantom Ranger displayed an almost inhuman like level of speed and agility, as he managed to avoid all of the bullets and soon started fist fighting with the the out laws, managing to knock the guns out of their hands and held his fist ups.
"Why don't ya'll start fighting like real men?..."The Phantom Ranger said to them.
"I reckon he asked for it, let's get him..."Another out law said as they tried to close in on the masked hero.
However, to the amazement of everyone who watched, The Phantom Ranger displayed unbelievable strength, speed and agility as he not only managed to take down these ten outlaws all by himself...he used only his fists, though his speed and grace was almost inhuman. After about five minutes, Dash The Kid came to, came to and to his horror, he saw his men were on the ground, beaten up and he saw the Phantom Ranger looking at him, cracking his knuckles.
"10 outlaws down...one big one to go...'The Phantom Ranger said as he went to grab something from behind his holster.
"HEAD FOR THE HILLS, BOYS!..." Dash The Kid screamed as he tried to make a run for it.
However, the thing that the Phantom Ranger pulled out was just a lasso, which he then threw and managed to catch Dash The Kid by his feet. In less than a minute, the blonde outlaw was hog tied with said rope, and his gang was also tied up as well.
That was when the masked hero knew his work was done. He then pulled out a piece of cloth that was in his pocket and used it to wipe his brow, before putting it away.
"Spirit!...'The Phantom Ranger called and soon his white horse came to him and he got on.
It was then that the towns people ran out of the saloon and buildings and started cheering.
"YOU SAVED US AGAIN, PHANTOM RANGER!...'The owner of the saloon, who looked like Third Degree Bernie said in admiration as the can can girls all surrounded the masked hero, swooning over him.
"Oh, Phantom Ranger, take me with you~..."The Paulina like girl swooned over the hero, who looked away.
"No can do, little lady...I need to be leaving since I ain't needed anymore right now...'The Phantom Ranger said as he and his horse jumped away from the admiring crowd.
"HI-HO, SPIRIT, AWAY!..."The Phantom Ranger shouted as his horse even stood on two legs, before ridding off into the horizon, while the entire town watched in amazement until he was gone.
Once he was out of sight, the townspeople then went back to their usual business, as if nothing much had happened, all the while, the only other Phantom in the area looked on, still amazed by what he just saw.
"Oh man...'Danny whispered, before he noticed that piece that the Phantom Ranger used as his spare handkerchief...
It was a piece of the INFI-MAP!
Danny quickly searched around, managed to change form and managed to...um... "borrow" some old western clothes he found, and put on a blue handkerchief on his face since he didn't want to risk confusion right now, if his hunch was right.
He had to find that Phantom Ranger and his piece of the Infi-Map but first, he needs more information...
He soon walked into town, needing to get some information. He entered the saloon and was everyone, including Lancer the crier and Third degrees Bernie at the bar, drinking sarsaparilla.
"Welcome strange, want a sarsaparilla?..."Bernie asked to the new face, that was hiding under a handkerchief.
"Um...no thank you...'Danny said, doing his best to fake a southern accent.
"You knew in town?..."Lancer the crier asked.
"Sort of...I am a drifter...just blew into town...I'm just here for a stop is all, ya'll..."Danny said weakly but they didn't seem to notice.
"Um...it it all right if I ask...ya'll some questions?..."Danny asked.
"Go right ahead, between us, we know all the happenings in this town...'Lancer the crier said to Danny.
"Um...I saw the fight that happen earlier and I was wondering...who is the Phantom Ranger?..."Danny asked.
Suddenly he heard a gasp and everyone was looking at him, making Danny feel very uncomfortable and wonder if he said something wrong.
"Wow, you really aren't from around these parts...'Bernie the bartender said to Danny.
"Everyone in the county knows who The Phantom Ranger is..."A new voice said, and Danny saw that it looked like a western version of his math/science teacher, Mr. Polucca, who was playing the saloon's piano.
"He happens to be our town's mysterious hero..."A western version of Kwan said, who apparently wasn't part of Dash's gang in this universe.
"He showed up a few months ago, stopped a train robbery and since then, he shows up whenever there is trouble in this town..."Star the can can girl said as she pulled out her hand fan.
"What kind of trouble?...'Danny couldn't help but ask.
"You know...stopping robberies, rustlers and saving folk from whatever happens..." Paulina the can can girl said, before she started swooning.. ."Oh, he is all man...'She said, in a smitten kind of voice, making it obvious how much she has in common with the Paulina that Danny knows from his world.
"So, does anyone know who really is?...'Danny asked.
"No one knows for sure who the man under the mask is, or how he always manages to win despite the odds being against him, but what we do know is that whenever there is trouble, The Phantom Ranger hops on his horse with the speed of light, appears...almost like a phantom in the night, saves the day, says "Hi-Ho Spirit, Away", and then rides off into the sun set to parts unknown..."Lancer the crier said and Danny looked surprised.
'So that is why he is called the Phantom Ranger...'He muttered...
'So, no one knows who he is or where he lives...'Danny muttered, getting more and more ideas about this situation.
Outside
Danny walked out of the saloon, already having an idea but he needs more answers and he can't ask his next questions in there without looking suspicious.
He then saw the western version of Mikey and Nathan, who apparently were in the middle of fixing up the damage left by Dash The Kid and his gang.
"Um...excuse me?...'Danny asked, doing his best to disguise his voice.
"Yeah?...'Western Mikey asked.
"Um...does either of ya'll know...where I could find the Fenton home?...'Danny asked, hoping his act would keep up.
If his hunch is right, if there is a western counterpart of Danny Phantom, then a western counterpart of the Fenton Family can't be too far behind, right.
"Fenton?…oh, you mean the wacky inventors who are always building all kinds of crazy contraptions?...'Western Nathan asked.
"Um...yes..."Danny said, since that really did sound like his family.
'They's live over yonder…"Western Mikey said as he pointed in a direction.
The direction where the Phantom Ranger had rode off too before disappearing into the horizon. Danny soon saw what looked to be an old fashioned wooden home on what looked to be a small farm over the hill.
"Thank you…"Danny said as he started heading in that direction.
If his hunch is right, he will be seeing the Phantom Ranger there...out of mask...
