Hey guys! welcome to the sequel of my most collection! in case you didn't know that: this crossover has a prequel called 'the most haunted place in America'! go read that first, or this fic will have a lot of stuff you won't get.

this story takes place two months later, having Danny stay in New York. I hope you enjoy!

Jake tapped his foot nervously against the floor. The plane was delayed. And of course that meant the halfa was too. He glanced at the arrivals for the zillionth time in the span of an hour and sighed. He was very tempted to just fly up there and check on the plane himself, but that was a very bad idea, considering the awful storm raging outside. Of course, the one time they were on a tight schedule to go meet the Dragon Council, the weather had to disagree. What kind of a first impression was Danny supposed to give if they were late on his introduction?

- Relax, Jakerooney. I'm sure your friend's plane will land safely!

- Thanks dad, but his safety ain't what concerns me.- Haley raised a brow at that.

- It doesn't? Why are you so nervous then?

- We late to the Grand Central, that's why.

Haley frowned at him, though it was understandable. Jake had decided not to mention Danny's uniqueness until he saw what the Council said. He realized a little too late that his words made it seem like he didn't care for the halfa, but he just wasn't concerned. The boy was already halfway dead, so a plane crash wasn't likely to finish him off. His family just didn't know that, except for Lao Shi, but the elder was already at Grand Central, awaiting their arrival.

Finally, the screen indicated that the Wyoming flight had finally landed. He instantly got a call from the other teenaged boy and he answered it without a doubt.

- Danny!

- Jake! It was awful! Why did my sister convince me to come by plane anyway?! The storm shook the damn contraption all the while, I ended up throwing up everything I had eaten! Do you know how gross ectoplasmic barf looks like?! DO YOU?!

- Yo, relax! I thought you were used ta flyin' during bad weather.

- Not by PLANE I wasn't.

Just then, Jake saw the distinctive radioactive green eyes staring at him from across the arrival area and the phones were hung. The lanky halfa dragged his smallish suitcase towards the family while taking deep breaths. When he opened his eyes again, they were the most shocking sky blue eyes the Longs had seen in awhile. The boy smiled and extended his hand for Jonathan to shake. He would have to shake Susan's hand when he actually met her.

- Nice to meet you, Mr. Long. I'm Danny Fenton.

- Nice to meet you too, Danny! But don't call me Mr. Long. Jon is just fine.-Answered the man while accepting the boy's hand in his own.-You of course know my son and the sweet angel next to him is Haley.

Danny heard the amdrag groan as the little girl next to him curtsied in an adorable fashion. Well, that certainly seemed familiar. She skipped to him and shook his hand as well, with this … air of superiority, characteristic of overpraised children. Now Danny understood why Jake had groaned. He thanked the ancients that Jazz had grown out of that attitude when he turned half ghost.

They four walked to Jon's car, Jake taking the copilot seat, Haley sitting in the middle of the backseat and Danny sat right behind the guy he had met about two months before. Jon filled the air with smalltalk, explaining that his wife, Susan, couldn't come due to an event she was catering for at the moment. He also told Danny that he'd have to go to school with Jake, at which point the young dragon added that he'd have to keep a low profile in front of the mythology teacher, Rotwood, who apparently thought it his mission to expose magic to the world. Danny just nodded in response. The halfa felt a little hand tugging on his hoodie and looked down towards Haley.

- So, if you didn't want to fly by plane, how would you have flown here?

- Haley! Don't tell me you were eavesdropping on our phone call!

- Hey, how could I NOT hear it? He was yelling!

- Still! There's a reason I didn't tell y'all what he was! Tis the same reason we headed for the Council and not home, yo!-Danny stared. He was meeting a bunch of dragon not five minutes after landing?!- 'Sides, we really late… G will have my head…

-Now now, Jake. Don't talk about your grandpa like that. Sure, he may have this perpetual look of disapproval on his face, but he loves you!-Danny almost chuckled. He had met the older dragon already, but the way his family was describing him gave him all the tells he needed to guess the family interactions. Lao Shi probably hadn't approved of his daughter marrying a human.

-If we're that late… wouldn't it be faster if we flew there?-Jake turned to gape at him.

-In this STORM?! You gotta death wish, ya nut?- The halfa narrowed his eyes at his fellow teenager.-Oh, rite. Sorry.

-I can actually get us both there safely and you know it, you overgrown lizard.-The dragons gasped and the human driver's eyebrows met his hairline.

-Oh yeah? Well, now I dare ya to and ya better get me there dry, ya glorified zombie.

Danny smirked. The boys asked Jonathan to park, got out of the car under the rain and entered an alley. Jon and Haley watched as a bright light engulfed the taller boy and suddenly they were gone. They stared at the empty space for a while until the youngest dragon broke the silence.

-Did Jake call him a zombie?

Meanwhile, high above their heads, Danny Phantom invisibly and intangibly carried his friend in the direction he'd been told to go. The dragon marveled at the fact that rain was pouring on them and yet it never touched them. Sure, being carried bridal style was a little embarrassing, but he hadn't had time to argue. They flew through the clouds like they weren't even there, though Jake noticed that Danny avoided thunder expertly. Upon noticing his look, the young spectral being told him that even if they wouldn't get hurt, it reminded him too much of his… near death experience. They got to the Grand Central before the dragon had time to answer though, so he decided not to comment on it. The half ghost landed them in an empty toilet, going back to the visible and corporeal spectrum, right before turning back human. They reached the underground portion, making Danny frown. He wasn't really sure, but were they really taking a train? Jake walked towards an elevator on the side, making a few weird pressing of the buttons and the door opened instantly. Danny stared at the short greenish man handling the elevator as the dragon shoved him in. The green man said something about enchanted elevators or something and before Danny had a chance of asking why Jake was holding on for dear life, the … goblin? Said 'going down' and Danny immediately regretted not following suit.

The elevator doors opened and Jake dropped from his hanging spot, while Danny saw the first glimpse of magic outside of Amity Park. He slowly lowered himself from the ceiling and just gaped at the scenery. A huge golden pyramid stood before him, half buried under an active volcano, with a greek temple on the side. On top of said pyramid was a dome with a golden dragon embellishment and a turquoise shaped like dragon fire. Danny had only seen buildings like this in the Ghost Zone, but they had never looked this … alive. He heard a shriek behind him and turned to see a terrified… yeah, let's go with goblin. Jake smacked his forehead.

-Ya just hadta float down, didn't cha?-The ghost boy shrugged apologetically.-Nevermind. Let's go. The Council's waiting.

They walked up the stairs as Danny marveled at the view. Everything looked magical from here. They reached an open door, through which Jake walked without a second thought. Inside this door, the other boy watched in awe at the amount of chairs there was. Each row was on a lower step an at the furthest there was a long desk with five chairs on a stage. On it were five people, Lao Shi standing on the right. The five people, Danny reckoned the were dragons, looked at him sternly. Well, except for the asian lady to the left. Her flowing long black hair gave her an innocent appearance Danny couldn't shake. The African man stood up.

-American dragon. You're late.-Jake flinched.- Is this the boy you mentioned in your report?

-He is, councilman Andam.-Danny stared at the uncharacteristic respect the other boy showed.

-Very well. What is your name, child of humans?-The halfa frowned at the title.

-Danny. Danny Fenton.

-And is it true you were turned into a non human by an experiment?-Asked a very pale man with white hair.

-Um… not so much an experiment as an invention…-The woman with the pale blue hair narrowed her eyes at him.

-And what did you turn into, Danny?-Asked the kind looking asian woman. He smiled at her.

-Half ghost, miss…

-Sun Park. You can call me Sun.-Yep, definitely a nice lady.

-Don't fraternize with this thing, Sun. It's the result of a crime against nature!-Yelled the buehaired woman. Danny's eyes widened.

-Whoa, Omina. While I understand your hatred against human inventions, you shouldn't crucify a victim of one.-The halfa stared at the hispanic dragon.

-I agree with Kukulkhan.-Said Andam.-What happened to Atlantis was unfortunate, but we managed to conceal it from the humans millenia ago.-Wait. ATLANTIS?!- The more pressing matter is: is this boy to be considered a magical creature?

Jake squirmed. He hadn't told Danny, but if the council decided he wasn't…. There was a chance he'd be considered a menace and his parent's work would be destroyed. And if whatever happened to the halfa was irreversible, then he'd probably get destroyed as well. The other boy answered questions about his interactions with humans, about his interactions with ghosts and about his relationship with the malicious halfa that had almost murdered the Chinese Dragon.

-So, to summarize, if a human and a ghost were fighting each other, who would you help?

-... would they be fighting in this world or the next? 'Cause that makes one hell of a difference.

The dragons whispered amongst themselves one final time and turned to face the boy. The nordic man stood and cleared his throat.

-As your words have not given away any ill intent towards either side of your being or its kin, we, the Dragon Council have yet to determine whether you're more human or ghost.-Danny deadpanned at the guy. He had said from the beginning he was HALF ghost.

-What Councilman Kulde is trying to say is: we need more time to debate your true nature.- Said Sun.- As it is, we can only let you go and supervise your actions for the rest of the week.

-So… you'll spy one me for a week?

The nice lady dragon smiled apologetically as the American Dragon sighed in relief, making Danny idly wonder if him being spied on for a week was a good thing. He decided he'd ask later. The boys left after the Chinese Dragon joined them and the three bowed respectfully at the Council. Omina growled.

-I still don't think we should have let it leave. Even if he were more ghost than human, ghosts are malicious creatures derived from humans.

-Now, now, Omina. You read Jake's report. He and Lao Shi were as good as dead had it not been for the young half ghost and this… dragon ghost that showed up.-Replied Sun.

-It is indeed interesting.-Said Kukulkhan- I had no idea dragons could turn into ghosts after death. And the fact that a ghost would be willing to help a magical creature without knowledge of us at all? This might be a testimony of how wrong a belief can be. Be it human or magical. I mean, not even half a year ago, if someone had told me the last member of the huntsclan was going to save all of us, I would have laughed in their faces.

The three youngest members in the Dragon Council proceeded to talk amongst each other, while Kulde approached Andam.

-Now that that is over, what do you really think?

-Ghosts give me the creeps.

-I already knew that, which is why you were so silent throughout the meeting. He didn't give spectral vibes though so, what do you think of the boy?

-... He looks like a nice kid. I really hope he displays loyalty towards our kind, even if just a bit. That way, we could ask him to prevent his parents from dwelling in magic at all.

-You do realize he's the son of hunters, right?

-Ah, but GHOST hunters. Their weapons have no effect on magical creatures not based on ectoplasm from what the American Dragon could gather.

-Speaking about him… did he seem uncharacteristically educated to you too?

-Maybe he grew up.

The two elders stared at each other for a second and then burst out laughing.
