Danny stood atop the emergency op center, watching over Amity Park, wishing he could think of a way to find Plasmius. He realized the only way to fight a ghost, was to use the most skilled in paranormal hunters. Danny knew who he needed, he needed...
"Dean!" Sam Winchester shouted as the vampire they had been hunting charged him. "Dean, where the hell are you!" Just as the vampire pounced at Sam, Dean Winchester came swinging in on a chain with a silver machete in hand. He loped the vampire's head off and the monster fell to the ground with a thump. Dean landed on the floor hard and stood straight, he turned to Sam, who was covered in Vampire blood.
"You've got a little something..." Dean said, making wiping movements at his own face.
"Yeah," Sam said angrily, "thanks for that, Tarzan." He pointed at the chain.
"You like that?" Dean asked, ignoring the obvious anger in Sam's voice. "I thought I'd try the hero approach."
"Yeah, well, at least we got rid of this thing," Sam said as he looked down at the vampire.
"Yeah," Dean said, kicking body, "I hate fighting vampires, they're dirty fighters, always trying to bite. I feel like I'm fighting Mike Tyson."
"Well, we might as well head back to Bob..." Sam stopped, not only did Bobby's house burn down but Bobby himself was no longer with them. "... the cabin, I mean." Just then, both the guys' phones went off, they both looked at the phones to see a text message.
Major ghost activity in Amity Park, need help, come quick.
"Amity Park?" Dean said with skepticism. "Sounds like some made up town for a kid's TV show."
Sam pulled out their father's journal, which is where they learned about most of the stuff they didn't know about. "Actually," he said, "Dad went there once. He warns against going, though, saying it's the most haunted town on earth..."
"Well," Dean said, walking outside to the Charger, "someone needs our help out there. Wanna go to the place Dad prohibited us from going?"
"Since when did we ever listen to the old man's warnings before now?" Sam asked, getting in the passenger seat.
"To Amity Park, then!" Dean said, starting the car and putting it into gear. Together the brothers drove off toward the Minnesota area, where they thought they would spend just a few days...
Danny, Tucker and Sam sat in the Fenton's living room, Danny had retreated into himself and didn't talk, Jazz locked herself in her bedroom, and Tucker and Sam were worried about them. There was a flash, and Clockwork, Father Time himself, appeared.
"Well, this is a depressing scene," the time ghost remarked, sitting on the couch next to Danny.
"What do you want, Clockwork?" Danny asked hollowly.
"I wanted to tell you how sorry I am to see your parents go," Clockwork said sadly.
"Did you know?" Danny asked him, sparks of anger in his eyes.
"Yes, yes I did," Clockwork said sadly.
"Did Dan know?" The sparks of anger found a trail of kerosine.
"He did," Clockwork said, turning into an old man.
The trail of kerosine met a leaking propane tank, and it exploded into an eruption of angry flames, "Why didn't you tell me?" Danny stood abruptly and stormed across the room to the wall, he punch his hand through it, literally through it because his hand was intangible.
"I have a moral obligation not to tell you the events of the future, lest you try to change it."
"And why would it have been such a bad thing for me to change this?" Danny snapped.
"Because it would have offset the entire future," Clockwork said calmly. "If you were to stop Plasmius from killing your parents then you wouldn't have such the need for revenge that ultimately helps you defeat Plasmius once and for all."
"What do you mean?" Danny asked him.
"Tell me, Daniel," Clockwork said, raising from his seat. "If your parents weren't dead, would you have contacted the Winchesters?"
The anger flames within Danny lessened in intensity as he considered. Finally, he shook his head, "No."
"Exactly," Clockwork said, turning to leave.
"Clockwork, wait." Danny said, anger flames dampened with sadness and grief. Clockwork turned. "The Ghost Zone... is it... well... Dan said the Ghost Zone is Hell," Danny stuttered.
Clockwork smiled, "Where there is a Hell, there must be a Heaven." Clockwork started to fade, "You just have to know where to look," he gave Danny a wink before disappearing.
Danny slumped down between Tucker and Sam and sighed. He felt a hand on his arm and looked up to see Sam with a worried look in her eyes.
"Danny," she said, the worry in her voice as well, "are you okay?"
"I... I don't know, Sam. It's going to take a while, but after this Plasmius thing is done and over with I think I will be."
"Well," Tucker said, "let's get it done and over with then!"
"Not yet," Danny said. "I'm waiting for help."
"Tell me its not the Guys in White..." Sam groaned.
"No," Danny said shaking his head, "a team a little more capable of getting rid of ghosts..."
Dean and Sam past a sign that said, "Welcome to Amity Park, Home of Danny Phantom!"
"Who the hell is Danny Phantom?" Dean said as they drove into town.
"I don't know," Sam said looking around at all the houses and stores. "But this doesn't look like the most haunted town on earth."
They stopped at a convenience store and asked who was in charge of Amity Park.
"That would be Mayor Tucker Foley," the clerk said. "I would look for him at Fenton Works."
"And where is that?" Dean asked, rolling his eyes. As if we know our way around this freak show town.
"See that big old building with the giant metal Op Center?" The clerk said pointing out at a building that sure enough had a giant metal structure on top.
"Where," Dean said sarcastically, "behind the world's largest paper weight there?"
"Sure," the clerk said, sitting in a chair behind the counter and lifting a newspaper to hide his face.
"Thanks," Dean said sarcasm once again in his voice, then he walked back to the car where Sam was typing away on his computer.
"Dude, listen to this," Sam said. "'Danny Phantom, a.k.a Danny Fenton, is a half-ghost half-human hybrid, he is also responsible for why that giant asteroid that was supposed to hit didn't. He's the world's one and only superhero.'"
"A superhero?" Dean asked. "Oh what the hell, did we get beamed into a cartoon or something?"
"It's strange," Sam said, "how did we not know about this?"
"I don't know," Dean said, pulling up to the paperweight house. "But this is where the store clerk said we'd find the Mayor."
"Let's get some answers about this screwed up town," Sam said, getting out of the car...
Danny, Sam and Tucker were all in the Ghost lab trying to figure out how they were going to find Vlad when the doorbell went off. Danny told his friends he'd be back as he flew through the ceiling into the living room. He walked over to the door and opened door to two men in suits.
"Hey," Dean said. "We're looking for, uh, the mayor? I'm Agent Steven, this is Agent Tyler."
"Sam and Dean Winchester, you mean?" Danny asked, and when he saw the look on their faces he nodded. "I think you're looking for me." Danny went ghost and Sam and Dean almost fell backwards down the stairs.
"Holy shit," Dean said, laughing. "That's pretty freakin' awesome!"
Sam looked at his brother and back at Danny, and asked to come in. Danny said he could, and then shut the door when they passed.
"So you sent for us?" Dean asked.
"Yeah," Danny said, offering them both a seat. "Problem?"
"Well, it's just that we never got a job offer from something we usually hunt."
"Well," Danny said, "you'll find that the ghosts here in Amity Park are different from any ghost you've hunted."
"How so?" Sam asked, and just then there came a bellowing "BEWARE!" Sam and Dean both jumped up, reaching for their guns.
Danny raised a hand, "Don't bother guys, he's no big deal."
The Boxghost came flying through the house. "I am the Boxghost!"
"What do you want, Box?" Danny asked.
"I have been sent with a message from the Ghost Zone!" Boxghost boomed.
"The what?" Dean asked. Danny ignored him.
"What message?"
"The rich ghost says that if you do not leave him be if you want your friends to live!"
"My friends?" Danny asked, then his eyes grew wide. "Tucker, Sam!" He flew into the floor. Sam and Dean got up and ran around, trying to find a door leading into the downstairs. When they finally got downstairs Danny was having a stare down with a Ghost that looked a lot like Dracula.
"Leave them alone, Plasmius," Danny said in a pleading voice. "You already took my parents, just don't hurt them!" Dean and Sam looked at each other, thinking the same thing.
"Oh come now Daniel," Plasmius said. "Do you really think I'd kill the last bit of leverage I have over you?"
"So you'll let them be?" Danny asked hopefully.
"No," Vlad laughed evilly as he flew into a green swirly portal.
"No!" Danny shouted and flew after the ghost, leaving Dean and Sam confused as hell.
"What the hell just happened?" Dean asked.
"Danny?" Came a female voice from upstairs, Dean and Sam looked at each other. There were footsteps on the stairs and then a young girl of 17 walked through the doorway. When she saw the Winchesters, she stopped. "Who are you?"
"Dean Winchester," Dean said. "This is my brother Sam."
"Why are you here?" The girl asked accusingly.
"Your brother asked us to come, he wants our help hunting a ghost."
"Plasmius?" The girl asked.
"Yeah," Sam answered.
"Where is Danny?"
"In there," Dean pointed at the portal.
"Why'd he go into the Ghost Zone?" The girl asked, pushing them aside and running up to the portal.
"That Plasmius fellow took his friends," Dean said. "What's up with this Ghost Zone thing?"
"It's the Realm of Ghosts," the girl said, thinking hard. She turned around to the Winchesters. "You know how to kill ghosts?"
"Weaken them, yes," Sam replied. "Unless we can find bones to burn though, there's not much we can do."
"Well unfortunately this one doesn't have bones," the girl said.
"What do you mean?"
"He's like Danny, he's a Human-Ghost Hybrid."
"Then I don't know what we'll be able to do," Sam said.
"Well hold on, Sam," Dean said, mind reeling. "If he is half-human half-ghost, then maybe if we use iron bullets it might just kill the human half, then we can burn the body and the ghost will go with it."
"That's not a bad idea," Sam said, nodding.
"Great," the girl said, "now all we have to do is find out where they went."
"I'm sorry," Dean said, "we?"
"Danny is my brother," she said, storming up to Dean and jabbing his chest with a rather boney finger. "I'm going in there to help my little brother, he is all I have left!"
"Okay! Okay!" Dean said, rubbing his chest. "Damn."
"Get your things together," the girl said. "We're going into the Ghost Zone..."
