A boy with raven black hair and icy blue eyes sat on a blue sheeted bed wearing a white t-shirt with red trim and an oval in the center of the chest, baggy blue jeans and red shoes with white tips. He sat there looking at the blue helmet in his hands that looked like something you would wear in sports, but this one had a cord coming off of it connecting to a device off to the side. The boy looked up from the helmet and over to his desk where a neon green game case was propped against his computer. The game case label consisted of different shades of purple swirls with black, and in neon green color letters spelling out, "Ghost Zone Online."

The boy turned his gaze towards his bedroom window as he remembered the day he got the new game system and game. About a few mouth ago a giant package out of the blue arrived at his house addressed to him from some company called DALV. The package contained three game systems called Nerve Gear, three copies of GZO and along with a note. To this day, the boy has managed to remember what the note said; it may have been how strange it sounded.

Dear Daniel 'Danny' Fenton

I want to congratulate you on being one of the lucky people that has been chosen to beta test DALV newest virtual reality MNORPG game called "Ghost Zone Online." I also included two episodes of each so you can give to each of your friends Samantha 'Sam' Manson and Tucker Foley. I hope that you and your friends enjoy testing our new game.

Sincerely
Masters

Danny found it strange and creepy that a stranger knew who he and her friends were, plus he never remembered ever signing up to be a beta tester. But like any game loving teen, he and his friends just couldn't say no to a free game and system or is able to beta test a new game. Later on they were both completely shock and surprised about what they found out. They found out that only around thousand were chosen to beta test the game, so there was how many people lived in America, so maybe one in thirty-two thousand chance of being chosen. Even though Danny was excited about getting to beta test this game, he couldn't drop the feeling to this day that this Masters guy was planning something.

Getting this was maybe a once in a life time chance and he was going to take this opportunity and make a new reality for himself for a few reasons. Part of those reasons was because of how he was treated in his life at home and at school. At school he was always getting bullied and treated as a laser, never able to act like himself. It didn't really help with his life at home where he was pretty much invisible to everyone there. His parents Maddie and Jake Fenton were scientists and ghost hunters so they spent most of their time down in the lab under their house. His older sister Jazz was always busy as well looking for collages and other things, but at least she did her best to spend same time with him.

Another reason why he wanted to enter a new reality was he wanted to be someone who could make a difference, help people, save lives and others will hear him out and listen to him. His obsession for helping others grew even more after having these strange dreams. In those dreams he was a hero with ghostly powers who helped and save everyone around him, went on tons of awesome adventures, and had more friends. He wanted to have a life like that, so when he made his Avatar he named it Phantom since his name was Danny Phantom or Phantom in those dreams. By doing that he thought that he could bring same part of dream him into the somewhat real world.

After a bit he brought himself out of thoughts back into the real world and looked over at his alarm clock. It read 6:50 and at 7:00 the live version of GZO was to launch. Today many copies of the game and system were being sold until they ran out. He wanted it to be 7 already because he, Sam and Tucker were going to meet up in the game when it launched. Danny turned his attention back to the clock and saw that it was now 6:55 and decided it was now time. He put his Nerve Gear on, laid back into his bed and stared up at the ceiling. He waited a little bit more then spoke out, "Link Start," his vision went dark and things became quiet.

After a bit Danny appeared in a new world landing on dark grey stones in a large area surrounded by some colored bricks that made it look like an arena, and a sky with different shades of dark green and black swirling around. Danny's avatar in the game looked almost like his real self, but was better built, and his hair was a bit shorter since it was the closest he could find that matches his real style. Danny opened his eyes revealing their icy blue coloring, giving a small smile he called out, "Ghost Zone, I'm back and better than ever!" then flashes of light blue light appeared around him revealing all the players logging in.

Yeah, I know I know, I have other stories to work on, but this idea came to me after heading someone's faction for a Danny Phantom and Sword Art Online crossover. I think this is going oh of the stories where I hove to give a lot more thought into what things to look like. I have to figure out how each floor Should look like based on the Ghost Zone, who or what the bosses should be, how weapons and armor will look like, and many other things, But I don't mind, because this well be fun! I will also try and draw then upload how areas, weapons, armor and charaters will look like up on deviant art. But man for what I got planned This should be a show or something. And this is based on the show Sword Arts Online, so they may be some SAO stuff in it but not much.

Ok, if you want more of this let me know and I'll get more up when I can. This is a bit like a teaser chapter to see if you guys want more when I work on my other stories. But it you guys want more I will upload another chapter then.

Disclaimer:

I don't own Danny Phantom or Sword Arts Online, I wish I did though.

-looks around to see if Desiree is around then sighs in disappointment-
