ENJOY ~

It's the middle of the night. Not to mention freezing. On an unfamiliar huge high school campus consisting of three sets of outstretched buildings, Danny Phantom had to wonder why he provoked his newly found rival.

The guy who called himself "The Ninja" lashed out. First it was the sword. A five to four foot silver blade, with a checkered red & black, curved handle. Danny was pretty much unaffected by the sword. Considering he had the ghost ability to phase through most of The Ninja's swings & harsh jabs. Along with every other close range weapon. The Ninja seemed to materialize everything out of thin air. (Or was it out his rejected wrestler suit? Who knows?) Like daggers, nunchucks, & whatnot. Quickly led to boredom, Danny only had to give a few ghastly green blows to get rid of those pesky weapons.

"Cheap stabs won't work on me." Danny gloated.

Insulted. "Cheap?!" The Ninja replies. "I got more tricks up my sleeve you HONKIN' SHOOB!"

Stubborn. The Ninja distanced himself quite a bit away from Danny. Almost at a twenty foot range. Then began the long range weapons. A chain scythe. Slow. Which was pretty easy to dodge without having to phase through it. Outwardly strentched. Danny found a way to trip the guy down to the ground. The Ninja gathered his composure. Extending from a central red & black handle, he then threw a series of ring-shaped sharply curved blades. Those were tricky. They came at Danny in sets of three's, at an intimidatingly god like speed. In fact, they were so fast, Danny almost didn't avoid all the ring blades without a couple of nicks or scratches. But. No serious harm done. None of which his healing factor couldn't fix.

Then came the balls.

Those gosh darn balls! They were palm sized. Almost weight like. Each coming in a different color, with a black bottom, decked with squiggly letters as far as Danny could tell in the dark. At first he thought The Ninja was mocking Danny, thinking he couldn't catch. But when one came at Danny he caught a yellow one. As soon as he made contact with it, it released a swarm of angry bees.

Sending The Ninja into a rage of laughter, "That's SO funny! Those Bee Balls usually backfire on me. It's such a nice change when they chase someone else away."

Danny wasn't so sure how he managed to lose the swarm of bees, but he was glad he did. Otherwise he'd had to suffer from severely swollen face, & that was the last thing he needed. Ghost powers & an ugly mug. "That was just plain dirty!" He commented.

"Nah." The Ninja shook his head. "I think you'll find THIS is." He throws a really small, marble sized, red ball.

"Uh. Do you need glasses? You MISSED."

"Wait for it."

"Huh?"

The tiny sphere landed on a giant pile rubble behind Danny. Next thing he knows it completely erupted into gravel, burying him flat.

"Tiny Giant Exploding Ball." The Ninja triumphed.

Thinking he'd won, he takes notice of a red glowing black book from the corner of the first half destroyed high school building.

"Gonna congratulate me, Nomicon? How BRUCE was I defeating that HONKIN' ghost SHOOB?" The red glowing only intensified with an angry orange flash. About ready to open the thick book, The Ninja completely stiffens from head to toe, beginning to feel rather disoriented, & cold as ice. Not entirely sure what was happening to him, The Ninja also began to panic, but he couldn't make any slight movements. It was then he slowly began to black out. Afraid of what would happen if he completely did, The Ninja tries to snap out of it. He unwillingly speaks, but in a different voice. The guy with ghost powers, his voice.

"Come on already! Let me overshadow you!" Danny yells.

In The Ninja's normal voice, "What the-you're inside my head?"

Danny's voice, making The Ninja shrug. "Eh. More like taking over your body. But, yeah. I guess."

"The JUICE you will!" The Ninja exclaims. "GET OUT!"

Danny felt himself struggling to keep a hold of his ability in tact. He didn't think The Ninja had the mental willpower to withstand his overshadowing. But surprisingly, he did. The Ninja was trying to fight Danny off. That was expected. But what Danny didn't expect was for The Ninja to be desperate enough to set himself on fire, just to kick him out.

Things got pretty intense after that.

Danny couldn't undo his overshadowing. The flames were closing in on his borrowed face. He started to freak out. Next thing Danny knows the flames bouncing on The Ninja's body turn to an unnatural bright hue of green. The kind of green Danny's eyes turn whenever he raged with ghostly powers. Which completely caught him off guard. Danny tried to will himself out of The Ninja's body, but to no luck.

The green flames suddenly disappear. There was an unsettling silence. The Ninja's body suddenly collapses with an, "AROOOF!" Along with Danny Phantom . . .

Then. Nothing.

Snapping his eyes wide open, Danny wakes up with a startling start. He had to wonder if he was severely hallucinating or if he caught himself in a vivid dream. The setting he woke to gave out an ancient, creepy hypnotic, calm, feeling. Danny lied flat on his back, looking up toward a very high rectangular ceiling, with floors upon floors with identical red wood balconies, marked with a strange swirl that either looked like a perfectly circled G or the number 6. Behind the balconies were traditional Japanese window filling the setting with natural light. The kind of light Danny couldn't tell if it was early morning or late in the evening. It was also muggy. Reeking like a seriously old school text book. That, & the smell after stormy down pour.

Freaked out. Danny quickly pried himself on his elbows taking in all of his surroundings. "Where am I?" He mutters. "Hello?" He wearily calls out.

As soon as he stood up the entire place started shaking violently. Nearly sending him back down, Danny kept his ground. The ceiling bursts into smeetherings. Snaking its way in was gigiantic, raging, long bodied dragon.

He couldn't help the yell that escaped out of his mouth, "WHAT. THE. CRAP?"

Burning with the hottest of colors crimson, red & orange. The dragon settled itself in front of Danny. Sizing it up, the dragon's head was as tall as he was. Nearly tripping on his feet, Danny took five cautious steps back, almost breaking into sprint as soon as he noticed the dragon started to open its firey snarling jaw. The minute it revealed its blaring teeth, Danny was completely baffled as to what he found floating in the middle of its forked tongue.

Letters?

Not the ones in envalopes, but rather the ones in the alphabet. Floating letters! Danny blinked really hard thinking he must've taken a serious fall or a severe hit to the head, or SOMETHING! The letters were perfectly white. The font was sloppy. Boyish. Hand written. Almost hard to read. But Danny managed to read:

THINGS AREN'T WHAT THEY ALWAYS APPEAR TO BE

Danny's skin crawled after he noticed someone standing behind him. He let out another yelp. It was gigiantic armored samurai, dyed in the same colors as the dragon. Danny wasn't sure if the samurai just made an appearence or if the samurai was there the whole time. Danny also couldn't tell if it was a seriously buffed up woman, or a seriously buffed up man. Or maybe it was the armor that made the smaurai looked completely buffed up? Who knows?
The samurai walked up to the dragon lifting an open palm toward the dragon's nose.

"No! Don't-" Danny exclaims.

But the dragon simply nuzzles the samurai's palm.

"Oh." Danny then sighs.

Letting his guard down. The samurai drew a sword from the waist. A sword far too familiar from The Ninja's. The blade was lifted up over the samurai's helmet. Danny stepped backwards falling flat on his hide, as he braced himself. The blade swung with KA-THUNK to ground. Leaving Danny with a priceless face. More letters appeared. This time on the samurai's blade. They read:

THE FIRST APPEARENCE DECIEVES MANY

Danny only blinks. Then the letters disappear revealing his reflection, unintentionally dropping his mouth wide open in utter pure shock. Of all the things creepy in his life, being half ghost, & all, this one takes the cake. Danny was in someone else's body! No more older than him. Fourteen, fifteen. Like Danny the guy had a flop of dark hair, only a lot more shaggier, in a dark purple tint. He also had oval blue eyes & fair light skin.

"WHAT?" Danny exclaimed. "WHO THE-HOW? WHEN-HUUUH?"

The blade then showed Danny something just as horrifying.

His older sister Jazz. She was walking out of the destruction of his fight with The Ninja. Slumped over on Jazz's shoulder was Danny. Or rather, Danny's body.

"No . . . NO! JAZZ! That isn't me!"

Danny wasn't sure what happened, next, but the whole setting completely shrunk into a swirl of red foreign squiggles. Sending Danny kicking his feet in midair like a free falling crazy person, he could only yell at the tops of his lungs.

He blacks out. Again.

Then. "I'M NOT A GHOST!"

Danny snaps his eyes wide open. Waking up to a circle of unfamiliar faces . . . & a pool of drool.

A guy in dorky square glasses, decked with freckles & brown hair knitted an eyebrow. "Did he just say he wasn't a ghost?"

Then the sudden appearence of perfectly round & plump guy, with orange hair forces himself into the scene. Shouting, "Shut up Doug! Of course he didn't!" He then set his attention, with a worried glance, on Danny who was lying flat on his face. "Hey Cunningham, are you all right?"

WHAT?

NOTE: SORRY FOR THE LONG WAIT! I had a little bit of trouble writing this chapter. Hope it doesn't show in the writing. But. Yeah!

So. In case nobody understood it. Danny took over The Ninja's body. But something weird happened in the process. If anybody watches Randy Cunningham he has the ability to set himself on fire using his Ninja Rage. That also backfired. So they both collapsed. Only instead of waking up in their proper bodies, they switched. Sending Danny in The Ninja's body in the Ninja's Guide known as the Nomicon. Which is a black magic book.

YUP.

SPEAKING OF THE NINJA . . . How long is it before Sam & Tucker realize Randy isn't really Danny?
