As Johnny and Kitty watched Phantom float out of their lair they couldn't help but feel sorry for the poor kid. After all he is the youngest spirit in the last decade, after them of course, and was just trying to protect what was his: Family, Friends, and Town.

But not anymore, it seemed.

With that a sudden jolt came to the two musing ghosts, looking to each other they asked the thought they shared.

"What about Amity Park?" That got them to thinking.

Really Phantom wasn't that bad of a kid, he just couldn't except that he was as ghost as they all were, or at least half of it anyway. Even Plasmius, the older halfa, excepted he was ghost even if he just used it to get power by being feared by the rest of the ghosts.

But since his 'human line' is gone, what was going to happen with Amity, his home? Would he just leave it? Is he going to go back and take over out of anger? No, the kid is too 'good' for that, even after what his supposed 'support team' had done to him.

Kitty suddenly got an idea. "Johnny! I have an idea!"

"What is it, Kitten?" Johnny asks.

"Let's spread word Phantom is in the GZ, but then we tell everyone that Amity is now open! That way Phantom doesn't have to worry about everyone coming after him, they will be too busy trying to take over Amity!" Kitty exclaims.

"That sounds like a good idea, Kitten,' Johnny sighs. "But you know everyone will go back to attacking him at some point, with him being claimed as the next Ghost King, everyone will be trying to beat him to take the crown. Shot I don't think anyone has beaten Phantom except for Plasmius!"

"I know,' Kitty sighs back. 'I just think Phantom should get some time to get use to hiding out here, you know? The kid had his whole world practically turned upside down! And really he is just protecting what was his, he could have turned out like Plasmius and could have killed us all when we first started come to his town, but he never did. I feel bad for him, I guess is all I'm saying."

"I know, Phantom's a cool kid." Johnny says, then he nodes. "Let's go, word of Amity is Free isn't going to spread it self!"

"Oh thank you, Johnny!" Kitty squeals, giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Anything to make you happy babe, come on!" Johnny says as the move to get Johnny's motorcycle and his shadow.

Vlad frowned angrily. After all you would be frustrated too if the woman you loved, the man you hated, the child you want as yours friends, and the child's sister are all found dead in a house of runes.

And the child is no where to be found.

"Oh cheese-logs! Where could Daniel be?!" He growls.

He sighs, when he first learned that Jack was dead he had mixed feeling, not that he cared for the idiot, but because his dear sweet Maddie and his 'supposed to soon be' son, Daniel, cared for him and both would fight tooth and nail to protect their family.

That was one of the many things that Maddie and Daniel shared.

Another was their small, but strong, forms. In their own ways Daniel and Maddie were powerful, both in strength, will, and heart. That was way he wanted them at his side, he would even take in 'overly nose-y' Jasmine if it pleased them.

But there was still the fact that Maddie was dead and Daniel can't be found anywhere in the human world, even if it had only been a day, a now homeless boy with ghost powers could be anywhere.

And he refused to think that his innocent, sweet little Badger could be gone, not when he already lost Maddie.

With a surge of determination he stood from his chair and turned into his ghost form. As Plasmius he moved through the floor to his lab, moving his lips to his wrist where a small, almost un-see able, watch sat.

"Skulker! Skulker do you hear me?!" Vlad says.

"What do you need, Plasmius, I am still looking around town for the whelp!" A voice on the other end speaks up after a second of static.

"I believe that Daniel would not stay in the human world for fear of having no where to go, come here and go look in the Ghost Zone with the Fright Knight." Vlad says.

Something that sounds like an annoyed sigh comes from the other end but before Vlad could speak up about it. "On my way, sir."

The line cut and Vlad sighed.

Only having to wait a few minutes since he lived in his house in Amity, Vlad looked up to see his right-hand ghost coming through the high corner of the left wall.

"Find out anything you can about Daniel if he is in there." Vlad says seriously. "And no harming him, got that Skulker?"

"Yes, Plasmius, I know." Skulker rolls his eyes and moves through the portal.

"Don't worry Daniel, as soon as I find you, you will be safe and where you belong,' Vlad chuckles, 'At my side."

Johnny and Kitty had just got done telling a few of the ghosts Phantom had fought the most, like Technus, Ember, Box Ghost, Desiree, and Spectra to name a few. Many had gone to tell others while a few, one being the Box Ghost, had set straight to Amity to take over.

They had just been getting ready to go back to their lair when they were cornered by someone they really didn't want to mess with.

"I hope Phantom thanks us for this, because man, am I tired." Johnny grumbles.

"I'm sure he will, Johnny, we did the kid some good." Kitty says happily, even if she felt a bit tired it felt good to help Danny, even if it was to just give him a bit of time to relax.

"Yea well your-Ahh!" Johnny shouts as he is suddenly blasted and caught in a net, making Kitty scream in surprise.

"Johnny!" She cries as she is suddenly held by the neck.

"Kitty!" Johnny shouts back from the net. "Why are you doing this to us, Skulker! We haven't been doing anything to you!"

"No you haven't, whelps, but I do want information from you.' Skulker says. "You two have been going around the Ghost Zone saying the Whelp has come to the Ghost Zone and has left Amity up for grabs, is it true?"

"Yea! It's true, Phantom fell unconscious on our motor-way and we healed him and he disappeared! We don't know where he is!" Johnny shouts.

"Good whelps, now leave." Skulker says as he lets go of Kitty, who gasps for breath, and presses a button to let Johnny out of the net.

Without a word the two teens fly away as quickly as possible.

Turning to his locater Skulker sees a faint dot at the corner of the screen, he grins evilly. "I have found you now, Whelp, and your not getting away this time."

With that he flies off after the dot.

R&R! Ta.
