Hello! Here's the first chapter! And forewarning, there will be PTSD flashbacks from some of the characters, and they will be gruesome, so if you don't enjoy such things, THEN THE STORY IS GOING TO BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU. If you're okay with the flashbacks every once in a while, then read on.
Well, here we go.
Dani Fenton was walking passed a TV store in Albany, New York, when she saw something horrible being broadcasted. Amity Park was virtually destroyed! And there was the most terrifying ghost she'd ever seen. It had a disfigured body, a million eyes, eighteen mouths with razor sharp teeth, and twenty limbs with even sharper claws. It was fighting Danny Phantom, Dani's older and only cousin. She became wide eyed, ran into an alleyway, and transformed into her alter ego, Dani Phantom. She flew as fast as she could only to see rubble where Amity used to be. There were a few survivors lurking around, looking for one another. She looked everywhere until she found her cousin, laying next to his friend Tucker, unconscious and bleeding severely, even with his wounds already healing. Tucker was awake, but he too was in bad condition. Dani landed. "Tucker, are you two okay? Well, I know you aren't, but is he alive? And where's Sam?"
Tucker turned his head towards her. "Danny is alive, but Sam… She didn't make it. Nor did any of our families."
"I'm getting you two out of here. We're going far away from here and hide from Vlad, because I know he'll try to use this to get Danny."
"But where?"
"Jump City."
Meanwhile, in Wisconsin, Vlad turned on the TV while sipping his coffee. He choked at what he saw. Amity Park was destroyed. A reporter came in view.
"As the fight to destroy the monster, or ghost, has ended. We have rescue crews searching everywhere for survivors. The families that we do know are dead are the Fentons, Foleys, and Mansons, as they were fighting the creature that destroyed the town. We haven't seen Danny Phantom since the end of the fight, and something tells me that he won't return. After all, with Amity being destroyed, his haunting, according to theories, should be over."
Another reporter came in. "Actually, Clair, we don't know if all of those families you mentioned are completely wiped out. Where as we did find the bodies of Jack Fenton, Maddie Fenton, Jasmine Fenton, Jeremy Manson, Pam Manson, Ida Manson, Samantha Manson, Maurice Foley, and Angela Foley; we did not find Danny Fenton or Tucker Foley. We also didn't see them in the fight. They could possibly, even if unlikely, be alive."
"I sure do hope so, they were such great childr-" Vlad turned off the TV. He transformed into Plasmius and teleported to Amity Park. He searched the place for hours to find any sign of Danny, but alas could not find him. He couldn't even sense his presence.
"Daniel, where are you?" After a few more hours, he flew home and grabbed a cell and dialed. "Hello? Yes, I'd like a search board for my godson, Daniel Fenton."
With Dani, Tucker, and Danny…
"Are you sure Jump City? They have a high crime rate." Tucker said, cleaning up an unconscious Danny. They were in a forest near their former town. Dani looked at Tucker.
"Yes, I'm sure. It's far enough that Vlad won't find us, the rent there is cheap, it's easy to start a business, the crime rate will make Vlad believe that we'd never be there considering what you two went through, and the schools are great. It's a perfect place. Danny needs this."
"Do you have a particular building in mind?"
"Yeah, actually. The people selling the said that the place is a mix between an apartment and a cafe building. The rent is like twenty bucks a month."
"When you said cheap, you weren't joking." Just then, Danny moved. He opened his eyes.
"Dani? Tucker?" Then all of his memories came through. "SAM! Where is she, our town, our families? They're not really gone, are they?! Please tell me that it was a bad dream!"
Dani and Tucker looked down. "I'm sorry." Tucker told him. Danny teared up.
"Was my family meant to die?! In every timeline?!"
"I don't know…"
Danny grabbed Dani and Tucker and pulled them into a hug. He wouldn't let go. "I can't lose you two! I won't lose you two! You promise me that you'll live long lives! Do NOT die on me, you hear? We're moving far away, and we're not going to do the hero business anymore, understand?! Tucker, you are going to be what your dream job is, and Dani, you are going to school and getting an education so you can get a job! And I want you to strive for what you want to be, understand?! Both of you, please do this for me!"
"I promise, Danny." Dani said.
"Yeah, man. But you gotta promise to heal. Emotionally and physically." Tucker stated. Danny nodded, letting them go.
"So, what town do we go to?"
"Jump City." Dani and Tucker replied.
Two days later…
Danny, Dani, and Tucker arrived at their new home they just bought. Like Dani described, it was also a cafe. Dani looked at her cousin. "What are you going to call it?"
"Wahami, which is Arabic for phantom, Himitsu, which is Japanese for secret. And since we're using English letters, no one will know what it means."
"Nice." Tucker said Dani nodded. Danny smiled a little.
"By the way, Dani, you're going to be considered my sister from now on, got it?"
"Roger that!"
"And Tucker, you're going to be my cousin. We're all going to have the same last name."
"Which is?" The techno geek questioned.
"Seishin, Japanese for spirits."
"Cool. Well, let's get settled into our home." Dani said. The boys nodded and all three of them walked in. Cafe furniture was already set up. They walked into the cafe kitchen. It was at perfection. They then went to the employees only door and opened it. There was a meeting room, along with two dressing rooms attached to two shower rooms. They left the room and entered their apartment. There were two bathrooms, three bedrooms, two extra rooms, and a kitchen attached to the living room. They decided to make one of the extra rooms a gaming room and the other a study. After claiming rooms, Danny got the blue, Dani the white, and Tucker the yellow, they went to the store to buy furniture, clothes, and other necessities. Dani had all the money. Tucker looked at her.
"Where did you get the money?"
"Stole some from Vlad a little while back. A couple weeks ago, if you want to know. He never notices, considering how much he has. What I take is virtually pocket change."
"Haha, true! He's as blind as a bat!" Tucker said. Dani nodded.
"They don't call him a vampire ghost for nothing! Besides, he is a bit batty!"
"So true!"
Danny rolled his eyes. "I thought changing our names to hide from the fruitloop was the plan. So why are you two shouting casually, in public, about him if we don't want to be found?"
Dani and Tucker turned red. "Well, um, uh, I don't know?" Dani stuttered. "Sorry bro."
"It's fine, just be more careful."
"Okay."
They finished buying their necessities and went home. Luckily Danny and Dani were halfas, because the furniture was no joke. They set up their furniture, put away all of their dishes, and brought their clothes to their rooms. They each had one laptop, tablet, 3DS, headphones, earbuds, and android phones. Tucker also bought a PDA for memories and time management. Dani joked that he was in love with the old fashioned device and he glared, sticking his tongue at her. After setting up, Danny went food shopping for both home and the cafe while Dani and Tucker headed to the school to register. The sign on the school said Murakami School. They went in and found the office. They walked up to the woman sitting at the desk. She looked up at them. "May I help you?"
Tucker nodded. "My cousin and I want to register to school here."
"Alright then, what are your names?"
"I'm Tucker Seishin and she's Danielle Seishin."
"Ages and grades?"
"I'm fourteen and she's thirteen. We're both in ninth grade."
"Any contact information to any family members in case if something happens?"
"Yeah, my brother." Dani said. "His name is Danny. Here's his contact information." She handed the woman a paper with Danny's phone number on it.
"Thank you. You two start next week. Here are your schedules and uniforms." The woman handed them their schedules and uniforms, then they left.
"Wow, talk about lenient! No wonder why this city has so much crime!" Dani laughed.
"No kidding. Well, we should head home. When Danny's back, we have to help him with the groceries."
"Kay."
With Danny…
Danny walked into the supermarket. Okay Fenton. You have five hundred for everything you need. Now, let's see. I need a cookbook and cafe supplies, then the normal groceries. That'll take about two hours. Then there comes the issue with dinner. Maybe I should buy a precooked meal for the three of us. There are plenty of pizza shops around town. I'll get a large pepperoni pizza for us. Yeah, pizza sounds just about right.
And that's exactly what Danny did. When he arrived home, the other two weren't home yet, so he put the groceries away by himself. He grabbed a plate and pulled some slices of pizza out of the box and started to eat. As he did, he turned on the tv and started to watch Men in Black. Now I know what the Men in White copied. Such hypocrites! A few minutes later, Dani and Tucker arrived home. They smelled the pizza and grabbed plates. They sat next to Danny. He smiled.
"How'd it go?"
"Easy peasy. We have to wear uniforms though." Dani answered.
"Don't worry, you'll get used to it." Danny said.
"I sure hope so!" Dani said. "I hope they let us wear hats too!"
"Same." Tucker commented. They all finished eating. Danny told them to go to bed while he did the dishes. They nodded and did as told. After Danny finished cleaning up, he too took a face dive.
Yeah, I killed off Sam. Deal with it. I have my reasons for doing so, and I'm not tellin! It's up to you to figure out the pieces of this puzzle!
