Chapter Two: The Other World

Sam and Tucker came over later that night and snuck down into the basement. Danny's parents don't like him down there at night, especially with the new invention. Jack made that very clear. However Danny ignored their orders as he needs to find out the dangers that could possibly be behind this new dimension. Danny switched into his ghost form and was given a pair of Fenton phones to put into his ear to communicate with Sam and Tucker in their world.
"Are you sure you wanna go in there alone? We could go in there with you using the Specter Speeder." Sam offered.
"No thanks. Who knows what's on the other side of that portal. Plus, it would be easier for me to sneak around without a giant hover craft behind me." Danny replied. Danny flipped the switch on the panel and watched as the ghost portal shined a bright blue. He put his hand up to the swirling energy, and felt the cooling ectoplasm surrounded his hand like dipping it in water. He was reluctant to go in, in fear of not knowing what's on the other side. He didn't want to seem like he was weak, and forced the rest of his body inside.

On the other side, was a bright land. There was no grass, instead it was a dirt paved ground. Over in the distance, there was what looked like a giant, white castle blocked off by high, white gates. Danny flew up high, soaring above the gates and easily entered the kingdom.
"Danny, are you in the other world? Are you okay?" Sam asked through the Fenton phones.
"Yeah and it's kinda weird here. There a huge white kingdom here and I see all these people wearing the same clothes." He answers observing what he can from up high. "I'm going to see if I can get a closer look throughout the place before I head back."
"Hurry up, I'm getting tired," Tucker added. Danny chose to ignore that and continue on with his investigation. Getting closer using his power of invisibility, he had noticed that everyone also carried around swords with them. Other than those small details it seemed almost like his world. He over heard some of them in a conversation. They sounded like they were boasting about their "squads." He wanted to check out the giant tower in the middle of the kingdom and see what lies inside of it. He flew up high and made his way for it.

Meanwhile, Ichigo had just gotten to the Soul Society. He left momentarily to go home and get Kon for his up coming adventure and to tell his family he might not be home in time for dinner. He noticed the portal had already been open when he came in through the Senkaimon and decided to take the opportunity. He felt the portal submerse him in the odd goo that felt like water as he stepped through.
On the other side, it looked like he stepped into some sort of science lab. Test tubes and various types of metal building material lies scattered about counters on the sides of the lab. He almost jumped out of his skin when he noticed the two people sitting over by one of the cleaner counters. One with a red hat was face down on the counter, snoring loudly. The other had short black hair and she had headphones with music playing loudly in her ears while she was reading a magazine. He decided not to bother them and to sneak by them quietly. He didn't want to be widely noticed in this world if he could help it. Not that anyone could see him while he was in soul form but Ichigo wanted to be careful just in case.

Going up the stairs, he had to be careful, as all of the lights were off and he didn't want to make any noise and wake up anyone else in the house. He was almost to the door, when Kon burst out from underneath Ichigo's shinigami uniform, yelling like he always does.
"Hey! Were you trying to suffocate me or something?! Do you know how hot it gets in your uniform? Not to mention that you should shower once in a while. And..." Ichigo grabbed ahold of the stuffed lion's face and squeezed hard, preventing him from uttering anything more than soft mutters.
"Shut up, will you? We're trying to investigate this world without being noticed." Ichigo whispered as he shoved Kon back into his uniform. Kon eventually crawled out and sat silently on his shoulder. Ichigo paused before going outside, to make sure no one had woken up because of Kon's obnoxious outburst. It didn't seem like anyone had noticed. Ichigo slipped outside undetected and began to search the city. It looked like an average, human town, much like his back home. The portal must have just opened up somewhere on the some other part of the world. There's no harm in it right now.
'I should still return to the Seireitei though and report what I've found. Maybe they see it as another threat.' Ichigo thought. As Ichigo turned to head back towards the portal he could hear a familiar ghostly wail.
*King... I think that the portal is going to cause nothing but trouble for this world.* Shiro stated as the young substitute could sense them clearly. Hollows!
'Great... Just great!' Ichigo thought to himself as he took off to fight the hollows.

Meanwhile back in the Seireitei, Danny had made it through the white palace without being noticed. He could see an old man sitting upon what looked to be some sort of throne. Even though he wasn't regal looking, he had this commanding presence to him.
"Head Captain... We have a problem!" someone yelled out as they entered the room going down onto one knee almost immediately.
"Report!" commanded the old man.
"Hollows are emerging through the portal as they are attacking both worlds." stated the young man.
"Summon every available shinigami. We must stop them from destroying the Seireitei. And from them claiming souls on the other side of portal."
"Yes Head Captain Yamamoto!" replied the young man before rising to do as commanded. Danny despite the language difference was able to overhear everything as it seemed that the Fenton phones could also translate whatever language they spoke here.

'Hollows... Shinigami... Seireitei...' Danny repeated the words in the back of his head. 'This place that I am in must be known as the Seireitei. Shinigami must be the beings that live here. And hollows much like dad's prediction must be the ghosts they fight.' Danny thought to himself as he let out a long yawn. It was getting rather late as he had school to attend to. 'Guess I will have to do some more investigation tomorrow. Perhaps I should look up those words to find the meaning to them.' Danny thought to himself as he flew out of the Seireitei and back home. Danny figured he could worry more about it later.
