Okay, so here it is. It's still a lead up, but trust me, it's all going to pay off soon. Reviews are very much appreciated.

Chapter 4
The cabin, everything right in front of them, all had something to do with Danny. The walls were littered with pictures. Danny walked up to one, and saw pictures of him, in the Fenton battlesuit, fighting the Ghost King's army. He looked a little farther down and saw himself riding Johnny 13's motorcycle when he was trying to stop the Guys in White from destroying the Ghost Zone. Right by it was a picture of him when he had been Walker's prisoner. And that was just the beginning. There were photos from basically every trip to the Ghost Zone. He looked and, to his great surprise, saw a picture of his standing in front of the shack the first time they'd found it. The floor was stacked with newspaper articles about him. The only place that had nothing about Danny on it was the fireplace. The entire place was devoted to Danny. Finally, Danny stuttered something out.
"He-he's obsessed. With, me," he stuttered out.
All three of them started to back up slowly. They got back into the ship, and sped away as quick as they could. Unbeknownst to them, a camera mounted on the wall captured their every move.
"Okay, so a minion of Pariah Dark is completely obsessed with Danny," Tucker said. "How bad could this be?" Danny and Sam both cut him a sharp glare, and he didn't talk the rest of the way.
"I don't get it, why you?" Sam asked.
"Who knows? I wanna say it's because I defeated Pariah but that thing had pictures from way before then. It has pictures from every time I've ever went into the ghost zone, and some pictures from Earth! I think I saw a picture of me wearing the Reality Gauntlet in there too. Whatever it is, it's stalking me."
"A ghost is stalking you. I can't believe it. It's kinda unreal. So what are you gonna do?"
"I think I'm gonna have to find it and confront it."
"But that's extremely dangerous! He's made of ectoplasmic fire, Danny. You can't touch him."
"Then I'm gonna have to rely on ranged attacks. Ecto-blasts, ice ray, anything like that. What else can I do, Sam? Let him stalk me for the rest of my life, or until he decides to attack me? Not gonna happen. Whatever he's planning, I've gotta stop him before he can go through with it."

"Danny, I think I know what that creepy fire ghost is planning!" Tucker shouted as he burst into his room. It had as of now been three days since they found out about the Fire King and his obsession with Danny.
"What?" Danny asked eagerly.
"He's studying you closely so he'll know how to defeat you. If he can defeat you, then he can free his master and rule without fear of any truly fearsome opposition!"
"You know, that actually makes sense. With me out of the picture, nothing would be able to stop Pariah from regaining his power. But, come to think of it, there's a big hole in that. He's been studying me since I first got my powers. He couldn't have known back then I'd be a hindrance to whatever he's planning. I just wish I knew more about him." Danny sunk into his chair, deep in thought.
"That's it!" Tucker exclaimed.
"What?"
"We do what we did with Skulker, but on a much larger scale."
"You mean we talk to every ghost in the Ghost Zone to see what they know about him?" Danny sat back and though for a moment. "You know what, that might work. I'm gonna call Sam, see what she thinks."
Danny took out his phone and called his best friend.
"Hello?"
"Sam, Tucker had a great idea. What if we ask every ghost what they know about the King of Fire?"
"Danny, that won't work," Sam replied.
"What, why not?"
"The Fire King is thousands of years old. Older than most of the ghosts we know."
"I still think we should try it."
"Fine, go ahead, but there's one ghost we're gonna have to visit eventually. I don't see the point of going around it for hours till we get to him."
"What, who?"
"The one ghost we know who was around during the time of Pariah Dark."
"Oh, him. I really don't wanna go there, so I say we're still going to try to go asking some others to be sure."
"Fine, but don't be surprised when you end up going to him."
