A/N: Hey, guys. Back with a new chapter! I'm going to introduce some scary ass people at the end. They're called "The Lost Scorpions," and all credit for their creation goes to Weirdbard, an exceptionally talented author, and one of my favorites on the web. Period. Read some Weirdbard work and you'll be doing yourself a favor.

Chapter Four: Shopping and Fighting.
"Johnny!?" William stared, wide eyed at his friend. Johnny. He was here.
"Hey there, Willie-man. How you been?" Johnny spread his arms out for a hug, and William gladly embraced his old friend.
"Where the hell have you been?" Asked William, backing away from his friend to glare at him.
"Oh, you know." Said Johnny, grinning. "Here and there. Causing trouble every once in a while."
"What kind of trouble?" Asked William, before shaking his head. "Oh, who cares!? I'm just glad to see you again. Where's Kitty?" Johnny smiled.
"She's back at the H.Q." Said the biker ghost. "Hanging out with her friends." William just stared at his friend.
"Kitty finally got some friends that aren't you?" Asked William. "Who?"
"Heheh. Come on, Willie-man. I'm pretty sure you'll like them." Johnny led the way to his bike, which was parked on the other side of the boardwalk, and they took off towards Amity Park.
BACK AT THE "H.Q."
"An out of business motorcycle dealership, Johnny? Really?" Asked William, eyeing his friend with amusement. Johnny scowled back at his little buddy as he parked the bike.
"Hey, I'm not the one living in the hospital I died in." Said Johnny, getting off his bike. William grinned.
"Don't you just love the cliché bullshit of the world?" Asked the younger ghost. Johnny grinned.
"Yeah, I guess I do. Follow me inside."
Inside the motorcycle dealership, Johnny led William down a hallway to a closed wood door, where they heard voices coming from inside.
"Okay, ideas, girls." Said a slightly older, refined voice. "How are we going to beat the halfa boy?"
"Let's just beat the crap out of him." Said a younger, slightly wilder voice. There was a sigh, and the first voice started again.
"Ember, while we all know how great of a plan that is, it's not going to work, no matter how many times we do it." The first voice paused, but started up again right after. "What about you, Kitty? Any ideas?"
"I don't have any problems with Danny." Said Kitty. William's eyes widened at her voice. "It's those three girls I don't like."
"Hey! Kitty!" Johnny suddenly started pounding on the door. "Come out here, I got something special to show you."
"What is it, Johnny?" Kitty called sweetly.
"Come out here, and find out!" There was the sound of shuffling, and then walking, before the door opened to show a pale skinned, green haired young woman. She looked at Johnny questioningly, and he motioned over to William, whom was trying his hardest not to get teary eyed.
"W-Willie?" She asked tentatively.
"H-hi, Kitty." Said William, waving at his old crush.
"WILLIE!" Kitty suddenly tackled William in a hug, launching them both to the floor. "Oh, I missed you sooooo much!" Kitty yelled, hugging William close to her.
"I missed you, too, Kitty." Said William. "Can I get up, now?"
"No." Said Kitty. "I'm scared if I let you go, you'll disappear."
"Ahem." Said Johnny, smiling down at them. "Let the poor guy breath, Kitten. He's here, and we're staying together this time."
"Anyone wanna tell me what the hell is going on?" Asked Ember, walking out of the room to see Kitty glomping some ghost boy Ember had never seen before.
"Not really, no." Said Johnny, smirking at Embers annoyance. They've never really seen eye to eye. Kitty stood back on her feet, William soon following.
"This is Lil' Willie." Said Kitty, smiling largely.
"Little's right." Said Ember, inspecting William from head to toe. He wasn't bad looking. Add some skulls and frost the tips of his bangs blue, and he'd look pretty punk rock, especially with the biker clothes and the wrappings that covered everything but his head. "Damn, kid. How old were you when you died."
"Fifteen." Said William, somewhat self consciously.
"Seriously? You look twelve." Said Ember, grinning as she saw William didn't do too well under this kind of observation. He must be self conscious about his height.
"Ember, quit teasing my little brother." Said Johnny, smirking at William.
"I'm just messing with the squirt." Said Ember, smiling evilly.
"Ladies, we have plans to make." Said and older woman, walking into the room. Strange, she looked human to William.
"Oh, come on, Penelope." Said Kitty. "I get my little brother back. Let's go have fun!"
"I'm game for that." Said Ember, checking her guitar. "We could use a little fun around here, since Miss Killjoy over here moved in."
"Now, ladies. We have a guest. No fighting." Said Johnny, waving his finger disapprovingly at the girls. "Come on! Let's have some fun!"
AT THE MALL
"Come on! Let's have some fun!" Mimicked William with his arms crossed. "Yeah, good thinking, Johnny. Whose idea was it to come to the mall, again?"
"Kitty's." Said Johnny, also frowning. The two biker ghosts were completely loaded down with clothes.
"What was that, boys?" Asked Ember, smirking evilly.
"Nothing." William and Johnny said in unison.
"Come on, boys." Said Kitty, skipping along in front of them. "We need to get Willie some new clothes."
"I don't need any new clothes." Said William. All of the girls stopped and turned around, just staring at William. Not breaking eye contact. Just staring... "Okay! Fine! I'll buy some new clothes!"
"That's what I like to hear." Said kitty, grinning triumphantly before the girls continued walking, laughing over how cute "Lil' Willies" blush was.
"Dude." Johnny walked beside William, shaking his head. "Doormat."
"Shut up." Mumbled William. Suddenly, there was an explosion right in front of the ghostly group.
"STAND FAST, YOU ODD MANIFESTATION OF ECTOPLASMIC ENERGY AND POST-HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS!"
"What was that?" Asked William, confused. Standing in front of the ghosts were two people, both wearing hazmat suits. The woman was in a blue suit, showing only her mouth and jaw. She was rather skinny, yet quite tall. The man was huge, with an orange suit that left his entire head bare.
"Who the heck are they supposed to be?" Asked William. Kitty, on the other hand, looked pissed off.
"They're ghost hunters." Said Johnny. "They attack and persecute ghosts just for existing. At least Phantom lets us chill if we're not doing anything wrong."
"So… They're racists." Said William, frowning at the two hazmat suit wearing ghost hunters.
"Yeah, more or less." Came a familiar voice. William turned to see Danny in his ghost form, floating with his arms crossed.
"Hey, lil' man!" Called Johnny, going over to high five Danny. "Sup, been a while."
"Yeah, it has. Good to see you again, Johnny." Said Danny, and then, Danny's eyes fell on William. "Whose your friend?"
"Dude, we met the other day." Said William, frowning. "I helped you with that freaky Skulker guy."
"William?" Asked Danny. William nodded, and the two bumped fists.
"So, what's up, my man? Got some ghost issues?" Asked Johnny.
"Yeah." Said Danny. "But this time, instead of fighting ghosts, I'm siding with them." Danny floated to stand in front of the ghosts.
"No." Said William, going to stand by Danny. "If we can't defend ourselves, then they'll always push us around."
"JUST BLAST THEM!" Shouted Jack. They shot at the ghosts with their lasers, causing a large amount of dirt to be kicked up. When the dust cleared, there was a large, orange ecto force field. Inside, the ghost hunters could see William holding his arms up, his eyes wide, obviously surprised. When the field died down, the ghost hunters shot at Johnny with an experimental gun that had never been used before, but William jumped in front of the blast, which seemed to do nothing to him. Ember, Penelope, and Kitty both ran over, Ember was holding a medium sized bag.
"Go, get out of here." Said Danny. "I'll keep these guys' attention." William nodded, and the group fazed through the wall. Danny turned back to face the hunters.
'Great.' Thought Danny. 'Now I'm going to get beat up by my parents again.'
BACK AT THE "H.Q."
"Okay, now that we're safe." Said Ember, holding up the bag she was holding, staring at William evilly. "You're going to put on a little fashion show for us."
"Like hell." Said William, turning his head away. Ember grinned, while Penelope smirked.
"Good, keep that attitude." Said Ember. "I love it when they struggle." William gulped.
What had he gotten himself into?
VLAD MASTERS ESTATE
Vlad Masters, also known as Vlad Plasmius, one of three half ghost humans, was sitting in front of his new employees, showing them the video tapes of his arch nemesis, Danny Phantom. Then, he put in the more recent videos of Danny, AND this new, unnamed ghost, whom seems to be able to generate flames and force fields.
"Let me get this straight." Said one of ugliest members of the group. "You expect us to go to this, what was it? Amity Park, find these two "ghosts," capture them "alive," and bring them back to you?"
"Yes, Trunk, that is exactly what he said." Said a quite well dressed man, wearing a bowler hat and holding a very nicely made walking cane.
"Thank you, Mister Stinger." Said Vlad.
"Can we keep the pretty one?" Asked one of the very few women of the group. She had long blond hair, in a single braid wrapped around her neck several times before coming to rest in the valley of her cleavage.
"Yes, we could have much fun with the pretty one." Said another woman to the blond's right. Her hair was red, and in the exact same fashion as the blonds, only hers wrapped from the right, not the left. The two looked exactly alike, save for the hair.
Vlad idly noticed Stinger frown, but the frown disappeared almost instantly.
"No fair, Pincers." Said a tall, dark skinned woman, holding a whip in her hand. She was quite beautiful, but the evil grin on her face ruined it a bit. "You two always kill them when you're done. Let me have him first, then, you can have what's left." The Pincer sisters did a little huddle to talk it over. When they finished, they looked back at the dark skinned woman.
"The Pincers have decided, that if Tail-Snap can beat us in rock paper scissors, then she can have the pretty one."
The three played the game, which was beginning to get on Vlads nerves. These were the mercenaries he'd hired? The Lost Scorpions were supposed to be a rather dangerous lot, but these five seemed rather… Dysfunctional. Sure, the gunmen standing behind the five in front of him looked like professionals, but when they said that they were the most dangerous of the group, Vlad nearly scoffed. He was suddenly drawn out of his musings when he heard Tail-Snap cheer.
"So, will you take the job?" Asked Vlad. They seemed to think it over for a moment, but Stinger stepped forward.
"We are not accountable for any civilian deaths in the process of our mission, and you got yourself a deal." Stinger and Vlad shook hands. Amity Park is about to be bombarded by a group of psychos.
