EPILOGUE

Why did he agree to this? What was going through his mind that would lead him to accept this? He should have refused. He's getting too old for this.

"Any time now Danny!"

Edward Lancer yells in equal parts fear and irritation as he is dangling upside down by the tentacles of a particularly grotesque ghost. Ever since he became a reserve member of Team Phantom life has been much more exiting than he initially bargained for.

"Hold still Mr. Lancer!"

Danny swoops in and cuts the tentacles holding Lancer hostage, grabbing him and dropping him off on a near by rooftop. Upon landing, Lancer retrieves his Fenton Bazooka and tears into the beast, allowing Danny to suck it into the thermos. He wipes the sweat and ectoplasm off his face and plops down in exhaustion. Danny lands next to him.

"Thanks for helping me out today Mr. Lancer, surprisingly, you're a really good shot!"

"Yes well, I didn't take archery classes in Highschool for nothing I suppose. Do tell Manson and Foley that I wish them a speedy recovery"

A nasty flu had swept the town, infecting half the student body. Unfortunately Sam and Tucker were caught in that half, and since Jazz was off at Harvard, Lancer was the only one left to help him. He's not mad though, Lancer is a really competent guy, and an excellent marksman. Danny flies Lancer home and after getting their aliases straightened out, he heads home.

Lancer sighs as he puts away the Fenton Bazooka, never in his wildest dreams would he have thought he would become a part of a ghost fighting team with non other than Danny Phantom, who just so happens to be one of his student. He doesn't regret it though. Not even the cuts and bruises or the very real possibility of death, as long as he can help the boy in some way he is content.

However, as the days turned into months and Team Phantom became stronger, so too did another entity. Lying in wait for the perfect time to strike. Always watching, always listening. Unfortunately for Edward Lancer, that entity's target crash landed through his kitchen window. Because of this very moment, life will never be the same again, for both of them.
