Inspired by the new Kamen Rider series, Kamen Rider Kiva!

Vampires…creatures of the night. They prey on humans for their blood in order to sustain themselves. What many people know of vampires come from movies and books. These sources are often riddled with inaccuracy, leaving vampires an even bigger mystery than before. Due to reasons unknown or unclear, vampires are merely considered a myth, monsters to be used for entertainment. They are not real as far as the average person is concerned and are merely make-believe.

Oh, how ignorant some humans are.

Vampires are very real and they belong to different tribes.

This story tells of a newly discovered form of vampire as well as the dark champion destined to defeat them. A young man who will wake up and release the chains to his destiny.

FANG

Casper High School…

"Hey, Devlin, wait up!" called a young 14 year old girl, dressed in a black short-sleeved hoodie with blue jeans and sneakers. Her black hair was in a ponytail and she had blue eyes. She was running towards a boy dressed in a black shirt under a white vest with black slacks, black leather shoes and a newsboy cap. Slung over his shoulder was his back pack and holding in one hand was a violin case. He stopped and turned to smile at the girl. His skin was unusually pale. His hair was short and black but his bangs covered over the right half of his face. He wore a pair of round sunglasses. He appeared to be of Asian descent.

"Good morning, Danielle," he greeted with a British accent. She stopped next to him and huffed. She then kissed him on the cheek.

"Good morning to you too," she smiled brightly. They then held hands as they entered the school building.

The two teens appeared to be normal. Danielle Fenton, as far as everyone was concerned, was Danny Fenton's cousin. She didn't look all that interesting but she did have a secret. This also applied to Devlin, her boyfriend.

They both stopped at their lockers, which were placed next to each other.

"So, is that the new violin your dad sent ya?" Danielle asked as she looked at the violin case Devlin was holding. He held it up for her to see.

"Yes, it is," Devlin smiled. "Of course, it wasn't the only thing I received."

Danielle tilted her head to the side, "What else did you get?"

Devlin put down his bag and unzipped it before pulling out a black metal box. It was shiny and on the lid was a stylized symbol that resembled a bat.

"A box?" Danielle questioned.

"A box," Devlin nodded. "And I still haven't gotten the blasted thing opened."

"Didn't your dad tell you how to open it?"

"The note only said 'release the chains of destiny', whatever that means." Devlin sighed. "I know there's something in here, but I'm not sure what for the life of me." He tossed the box into the locker.

"Well," Danielle placed a hand on his, "I'm sure you'll find out."

The bell soon rang.

"Well, don't want to be late," Devlin said. He then closed his locker. He did not notice, however, as the box began to rattle. The lid then started to creak open as a pair of red eyes peaked out.

After class was done, both Devlin and Danielle left the classroom.

"Wow, another A-Plus," Danielle admired as she looked at Devlin's English Paper.

"You didn't do too bad yourself," Devlin said. Danielle got a B-Plus.

"Well, not as good as yours, though."

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!" several female shrieks were heard as the door to the girl's bathroom swung open. The girls all ran out.

"There's something in there!" Paulina cried as she pointed inside.

"It had red eyes and was staring at us," Star, her best friend, added.

"What's going on here?" Devlin asked as he walked over to the crowd. There he met with Tucker, Sam and Danny.

Sam, Tucker, and Danny seemed like regular kids going to high school. Tucker was an African-American boy who was very skilled with technology and was labeled a geek by the various groups which populated the school. Sam was a Caucasian girl was wore dark clothes and had black hair and wore the usual dark makeup. She was labeled as a Goth, but she didn't go with the average stereotypes that most people were part of. Finally, there was Danny. For all appearances, he was Danielle's cousin. He was also the son of the most well-known ghost hunters in town. Of course, this helped get him labeled as a loser since his parents had a way of going overboard in their hunts. Of course, Danny had a secret that was as incredible as either Danni or Devlin. Danny was what one called a halfa, half ghost and half human with the abilities of both. He often used these abilities to combat the supernatural. He was no longer considered a loser since he stood up to Dash and showed off his well toned body whilst doing so.

"Hey, Dev," Tucker greeted.

"Greetings, Tucker," Devlin smiled before frowning at Danny, "Daniel."

"Devlin," Danny gritted his teeth.

It was no mystery that Devlin and Danny disliked one another. Even though Danny was good friends with his older brother, Devlin detested Danny. He only tolerated him for Danielle's sake. Danny still had problems with Devlin dating the girl he loved like his own sister.

"So, what's happening?" Danielle asked. She hated it when her boyfriend and 'brother' got at each other's throats.

Sam shrugged, "Don't know. They just ran out of the bathroom, saying they saw something."

"Was it a ghost?" Devlin asked.

"Nope," Danny shook his head. "Ghost Sense didn't go off."

"Maybe it's a false alarm?" Tucker asked.

Devlin didn't look too convinced. He needed to investigate this further. He had a feeling that something was amiss and he had learned long ago not to dismiss those feelings no matter how odd they felt.

Mr. Lancer decided to rally the students away from the scene and back to class. "Alright, students, nothing to see here. Go back to your classes. We, the faculty, will look into this." The student body dispersed from the scene.

Later…gym class…

Devlin was playing basketball with the boys. Due to his heightened senses, he could play while at the same time watching as Danielle stretched with the girls.

'Dear Lord, she's beautiful…' he mused to himself.

Danielle turned her gaze and saw Devlin watching her. She giggled a little before giving him a saucy wink, letting the youngest Amakusa to grin at his good fortune to be dating such a woman.

Something was perched on the rafters, watching, with its red eyes, its gaze focusing on the girls.

The gym teacher, blew her whistle, and shouted, "OK, showers, NOW!"

The thing then vanished when it heard this. Oh, this was going to be fun.

In the boy's locker room, Devlin had already gotten dressed when he heard an unmistakable scream. It was Danielle! Assuming that she was in danger, he rushed out of the locker room to see all the girls in front of the door, having run out due to something in there.

"There's something in there," Danielle pointed. Devlin nodded and entered. He searched for whatever had spooked the girls. It wasn't a ghost, so what was it?

A flash of movement nearly escaped the corner of his eye. "Oh, no you don't!" He whipped off his vest and captured the escaping creature. He could see a flash of metal as he wrapped his vest securely around it. With his quarry secured, he then ran out of the locker room, carrying the mysterious package. He ran out of the gym, much to Danielle's confusion.

Once outside, Devlin released whatever he'd caught. He was pretty surprised to see a bat flying out but this was no normal bat. This 'bat' appeared mechanical. Its primary coloring was black with golden trimmings, red eyes and sharp fangs. Also its head and face made up its entire body. It flapped its wings in front of Devlin, glaring at him.

"What are you?" Devlin asked. The bat-thing looked offended at being referred to as a 'what'.

It then spoke, in a thick German accent, "I am known by many names, across the centuries, but you may call me Count Fangula the Third!"

Devlin didn't look impressed. "Fangula? Your name is Fangula?"

"Yes, that is my name! My status! My position! My-umph!" Devlin had once again caught Fangula in his vest. "Release me! Release me I say!"

"Listen, you, Fangula," Devlin hissed, "I do not appreciate anyone peeping on my girlfriend, including small metallic bat creatures. So, I'm going to give you a friendly warning. Fly back to where ever it is you came from and don't come back."

Fangula sighed, "Unfortunately, I can't do that."

Devlin quirked an eyebrow, "Why not?"

"Your father sent me."

Devlin suddenly felt the urge to hurt someone. More specifically, he wanted to hurt his father for sending such a perverted bat to harass him and every girl in school.

Devlin opened up his locker, thankful that it was undamaged, only to be once again harassed by his newest "friend".

"Young man, listen! Your father sent me-!" Fangula was unable to finish as Devlin grabbed him before throwing him inside and slamming the locker door in his face. "Ouch…" The dhampir then leaned against the locker.

Devlin sighed and felt someone tapping his shoulder. He turned to see that it was his girlfriend, Danielle. "Hey, Dev," she greeted.

"Hello, Danielle," he said to her, sighing a bit. Danielle appeared puzzled. This wasn't like her boyfriend to be so down.

"OK, what's wrong?" Danielle asked. Devlin opened up his locker and pointed inside. Danielle peered inside to see, flapping its wings on the inside, a robotic looking black and gold bat with red eyes and sharp fangs. "What is that?"

"My dear," the bat said, clearly offended. "I am not a what, I am a who. I am the great Count Fangula the Third!"

Devlin added, "He claims to be a great vampire bound into this vessel against his will. My father sent him to me with that new violin you saw. He was in the box I showed you."

"He's kinda cute," Danielle admitted. Fangula facefaulted. Devlin chuckled. "Anyway, don't be late for class." She kissed him on the cheek.

"I won't," Devlin smiled before closing the locker again but was stopped when Fangula got his head out.

"You are not locking me in here, boy!" Fangula cried out angrily.

"Watch me," Devlin hissed but Fangula was quicker as he flapped his wings and flew off. Devlin closed the locker and leaned against it. Why in the world would his father send him an annoying little vampire bat-thing?

The being rose from his feeding slumber. His body was demanding more sustenance to keep going. It was a desire that this one was all too happy to satisfy. Humans were but cattle to it and there were more than enough to go around. Who would miss a couple of humans in the long run anyway?

Emerging from the old building that it had set up as a nest, the being quickly scurried outside, letting the glow of the setting sun fall onto its body. At one point the sun would have been the death of it, but since he embraced his dark side, he had nothing to fear from the orb of light in the sky. However, it still preferred the darkness of night which was slowly falling on the town.

"Feeding time," the being chuckled.

It hade been making prey out of the various citizens in the town. The ghosts floating around the town didn't bother him. At least they were smarter than the actual living humans. The being had snagged a good portion of its victims inside the old house it lived in since they were too curious for their own good.

The being made a quick leap across a few buildings until it reached a district where there were more people. Healthier people too. The healthy people tasted better than the unhealthy ones.

The being worked stealthily before he slipped in through an open window. He supposed since ghosts could go through walls no one bother locking windows anymore. All the better for him.

This person was a woman working on a computer. One of the business types who spend most of their times closing deals. She had seen him the second he entered her window. She attempted to scream, but a blast of webbing from the beings mouth shut her up quickly.

The being then dashed and pinned her against her bed. Her eyes were wide with fear as she stared into the being's eyes. The being didn't even give a response before he stuck his fangs into her neck. The woman cried out in a muffled scream as she felt his fangs dig in. However, rather than growing pale, her body began to turn clear, as if she was made of glass. The woman finally collapsed while the being stood up again.

Now very full, the being slipped out of the window and prepared to make good with its escape. However, that was when it was met with a solid impact to its side, causing it to stumble. It turned to see what hit it and its eyes widened to see some kind of bat-like creature glaring at it. It wasn't a ghost and it certainly wasn't one of his kind. One thing was certain, it was looking for a fight.

The creature sent out a screech before it charged at the being again. This time, the being was prepared. It watched the creature get close before grabbing it by the throat. The creature gurgled before the being put several punches to vital points into his opponent's body. Satisfied that the creature was in pain, the being punched the creature in the face, sending it flying into one of the building walls.

Devlin was roughly slammed into a wall before he was forced to change out of his Orphenoch form. He was dazed but the demon in front of him was what he was worried about more.

It was a Fangire.

Fangires were vampires who had renounced nearly all of their humanity, able to assume monstrous half-animal forms. They fed off the life force of humans and this one had been doing it for quite some time now if the strength of its blows were any indication. It had several features resembling a large spider as it tried to scurry away from its last victim's abode. Devlin had been heading to Danielle's house to visit her and the other Fentons when he spied the Fangire. Instantly knowing that it was a threat, he had changed into the Bat Orphenoch and charged to battle.

Even his Orphenoch form was proving ineffective against this new foe. He'd always thought the Fangires were a myth amongst his kind. That was the last time he'd question those stories.

"Boy!" someone yelled and Devlin hissed. Now what?

Fangula flapped down and asked, "Are you alright?"

"Do I look alright?" Devlin shot back in a cynical tone. "Now, go away. I'm fighting here!" He was ready to change again but then he hissed. Changing again hurt. It seemed that for all the power an Orphenoch possessed, it was still very much a living creature. Fangires, on the other hand, were about as undead as one could get.

"Listen, boy!" Fangula cried out, face to face. "Your father sent me to you for a reason!"

"Why would my father send a scrawny looking bat to me for?" Fangula didn't answer and immediately bit down on Devlin's arm. "Ow! Hey, get off!" However, the dhampir froze as he felt a sort of rush enter him. It felt like chains running into his body through where Fangula was biting. The chains then wrapped themselves around his waist before they melded together into a strange blood red belt. Fangula removed himself from Devlin. "What is this?" Devlin asked, looking down on the belt.

"Just watch!" Fangula said as Devlin stood up. The small vampire flew at the belt before attaching himself to it, hanging upside down on a perch. "Wake Up!"

Devlin once again felt the rush as his body began to change again. It was unlike his change into an Orphenoch or when he turned into his vampire form.

The Fangire turned to regard the changing Fangire and watched as the transformation unfolded. Chains began to engulf Devlin's entire body before shattering away.

In Devlin's place was a tall and muscular armored man. Clad in a full black bodysuit, his torso armor was blood-red and appeared to mimic muscles. It had a high collar and skull shaped shoulder guards. The gauntlets were black, trimmed with red and had spiked bracelets. The fingers were covered in blood red armor, ending with claws. The left boot was black with red trim but the right boot was silver and surrounded by chains, as if binding something. The head was covered by a black helmet with a visor resembling the shape of a bat. The visor housed a pair of large and sharp looking red eyes. The mouth-guard was silver and framed by black 'fangs'.

Presenting…the Champion of Darkness…Masked Rider Fang!

Awakened to Release the Chains of Destiny!

The Fangire looked at the Rider curiously before releasing a screech. It then darted towards Fang and swiped with its claws only for Fang to leap over the strike and land behind it before retaliating with a powerful kick. The Fangire turned but was assaulted by multiple hits to the chest and face before being sent flying by an uppercut. It stuck itself to the wall before firing rapid shots of webbing at its opponent. Using his advanced agility, Fang was able to dodge the blows. Looking at the wall, Fang ran towards it and ran up the side of the wall before reaching his target and slamming it down to the ground with a vicious back fist before kicking off the wall and landing on the ground. The Spider Fangire was about to get back up.

"Now, finish it off!" Fangula said from his perch on the belt.

"What? How?" Fang asked as he looked down.

"Like this!" Fangula announced as he detached and flew around Fang, "Release the Chains!"

Fang could feel the chains around his right boot loosening. As if by instinct, he kicked up his leg high. The chains shattered, opening up the boot to reveal a blood red layer with the outer layer turning into bat-like wings. Looking at the Fangire, Fang then leapt up high into the air. The light of the crescent moon seemed to shine behind him.

"Call it out!" Fangula shouted, "Dark Moon Break!"

"DARK MOON BREAK!!" Fang shouted as he smashed into the Fangire with a flying side kick. The Fangire was dragged along the ground by its feet as Fang pushed it and then slammed it into a building, the force of the attack causing a crater in the shape of a bat to form on impact. Fang then kicked off of it.

The Fangire glared at Fang hatefully. However, this was short-lived as Fang's symbol, the same symbol that had been on the box his father had sent him, appeared on the Fangire's chest. Cracks began to appear all over the demon's body before it shattered like glass. From the glass-like remains, a glowing orb could be seen rising into the air.

"Not this time!" Fangula exclaimed before flying at the orb and swallowing it. He then landed on Fang's shoulder before releasing a small gem stone into his partner's hand.

"What is this?" Fang asked as he peered at the stone.

"The Fangire's soul," Fangula told him. "When a Fangire dies, their soul is released and unless it is dealt with it will eventually reform itself."

Fang sighed and like before chains appeared to wrap around his entire body only to unwrap themselves seconds later to reveal his original human form.

"Alright, so that was a Fangire?" Devlin asked. "I've always thought they were just a myth."

Fangula chuckled, "My boy, you should no now that myths aren't all just stories. Our kind is still considered a myth, as you say."

The small vampire bat did raise a good point.

"Well, at least I know why father sent you," Devlin said. "Am I supposed to fight the Fangires?"

"You see what you are able to do, boy," Fangula said. "Danny Phantom may fight ghosts but the Fangires are your opponents. You are going to have to work alone."

Devlin groaned, "I knew there was a catch." He pocketed his hands as Fangula followed after him.

"Where are you going?" the small bat asked.

"I was on my way to visit Danielle. She's waiting for me and if I don't come without a call she'd worry," Devlin answered.

"You really love this girl, don't you?" Fangula asked and Devlin whirled around to face him.

"It's none of your business, Count," Devlin hissed. He still hadn't forgiven Fangula for being a pervert at school. "Now, go back home. I don't want you to be around when I'm with Danielle."

"I see no reason why she cannot see me," Fangula huffed. "She already knows I exist."

"Well her family doesn't," Devlin argued. "Mr. and Mrs. Fenton are already wild enough about their ghost hunts. If they see you then they'll get even wilder."

"Be that as it may, I know that there are more Fangires out there," Fangula pointed out. "You saw for yourself how powerful they are and your normal abilities aren't that effective against them,"

"But why me?" Devlin demanded. "Smart Brain has hundreds of operatives who are better suited for this than I am. I mean, I'm just a make-up artist and potion brewer."

"Your father picked you because you are a dhampir," Fangula answered. "Only you, your brother, and your sister have that in the entire company."

"So why not my brother or my sister?" Devlin demanded.

"Well, your sister has enough on her plate for someone like her," Fangula answered, recalling what he knew about the female Amakusa. "Ichijyo doesn't like me too much."

"You did something perverted to Raven, didn't you?" Devlin snickered.

"I'll have you know I was nothing but respectful to her!" Fangula snapped. "But he and I just don't work together well and I declined the duty. Your father then decided that you were the only one left who was capable and trustworthy enough."

"Thank you, father," Devlin grumbled.

The dhampir and bat kept talking until they reached Fenton Works where the five Fentons resided. Danielle's 'parents' Jack and Maddie, their children Jasmine, Danny, and Danielle all lived in this building with the unusual large structure built above it, the Fenton Ops Centre. The youngest female was his reason for visiting, even if he didn't relish the thought of dealing with Danny.

He ignored Fangula as he knocked on the door. He heard someone coming and reach the door. It quickly opened to reveal Danny.

"Oh," he frowned. "It's you."

"Yes." Devlin nodded. "Good evening to you too, Daniel."

Danny's eyes darted over to Fangula, who was flapping beside Devlin's shoulder, "What is that?"

"A pain in my ass," Devlin growled.

"Humph!" Fangula snorted. "I keep telling everyone that I am not a 'what'! I am Count Fangula the Third!"

"He's the one who was making those disturbances with the girls," Devlin sighed. He knew Danny was going to pester him for this. "My father saw fit to send him to me."

"Oh yeah?" Danny asked. "Then why do you look like you just went through a meat grinder?"

"I don't think that's any of you business just yet," Devlin smirked. "However, if Danielle asks then I would be happy to explain. You'll just have to listen in."

Danny frowned and allowed Devlin in. Despite the animosity they shared, they were on the same side. The only person they disliked more than each other was Vlad. That was one thing they could agree upon

"So, are your parents home?" Devlin asked as he sat down in the living room.

"They're down in the lab," Danny told him. His parents were always building some sort of Anti-Ghost weapon or device to help Danny. Now that his parents knew about his powers, they were a great help. That, and his family was being funded by Smart Brain with Danny receiving a paycheck for being one of their operatives.

"I see," Devlin nodded. Fangula was perched on his head.

"Interesting place here, my boy," Fangula said. "What was that thing above your house?"

"That's the Fenton Special Ops Centre," Danny said.

"Oh, alright then," Fangula grinned. Devlin groaned.

"So, are you going to stay for dinner?" Danny asked. As much as he didn't like the dhampir, he was still Ichijyo's brother and also Danielle's boyfriend. It wasn't that he totally hated Devlin, it was just that the younger boy got on his nerves, a lot.

The prank war they had with each other still registered freshly in his mind.

"If your parents will have me then I would be happy to," Devlin nodded. "Does your father have anymore fudge? I love that stuff,"

"I think he has a stash somewhere," Danny answered politely. "Doubt he'd let you at it though."

Danny reluctantly let Devlin and Fangula in. The metal bat was an interesting thing to see. He'd have to try and get some information about it. Maybe Ichijyo would know since his father was the one who sent it to Devlin.

Devlin walked to the living room and found Danielle curled on the couch next to Jasmine, watching some mindless television since nothing was on. She turned her gaze and saw Devlin walking in, making a huge smile come to her face.

"Devlin!" she cheered as she bolted to her feet. She was instantly across the room and hugging the dhampir.

"Hello to you too," Devlin chuckled as he wrapped his arms around her. Danielle looked up to see Fangula perched on Devlin's head.

"Hi, Fangy!" Danielle grinned, causing the bat to gawk. Devlin chuckled in response.

"Fangy!? My dear, I am known as Count Fangula the Third! Call me by my rightful title," Fangula sounded insulted at the nickname.

"Aw, you're so cute," Danielle cooed as she picked Fangula off Devlin's head. "And Fangy's a cute name!" She then began to hug the small creature to her chest. The small bat seemed to be enjoying the attention way too much before Devlin tore him away from Danielle's embrace.

"What?" Fangula asked, almost innocently.

"Don't get any ideas, 'Fangy'," Devlin growled a bit. He knew that Fangula was a pervert. He did catch him in the girls' locker room after all. Devlin didn't want the small bat molesting his girlfriend, despite the two forming an accidental partnership to fight a Fangire previously. The small bat appeared to frown.

Jasmine, mostly known as Jazz, stood up and looked at the small bat. She began to poke him. "Is he a robot?" Jazz asked.

"Not exactly," Devlin sighed as he released Fangula to allow the small mechanical bat to flap his wings.

"Allow me to reintroduce myself, my dear," Fangula said. "I am-"

"Count Fangula the Third," Devlin interrupted with a bored tone. "We all heard you. You don't need to keep mentioning it."

"Hmph," Fangula retorted before landing on Danielle's head, making the girl giggle a bit.

"So, what exactly is he?" Jazz asked.

"That's what I want to know too," Danny added.

Devlin sat down, explaining how he came across Fangula, "Today I received a package from my father. Inside was a new violin as well as a box I could not open." Devlin pointed at Fangula, "That…thing was in the box."

"Don't call me a thing!" Fangula snapped.

"Anyway, my father apparently sent Fangy here to be a familiar and partner to me. He claims that he used to be a vampire and was sealed into that form. However, he has yet to give me any sort of full details," Devlin explained. He wasn't going to share information about the Fangires. Right now, he wasn't sure how the Fentons would take it.

Jazz examined Fangula from all angles, "He still looks like a robot to me."

"He's alive, I can sense it," Devlin said. "If he was just a robot I could just have him melted down."

Fangula looked horrified and said, "No, you shall not do such a thing to me! The Great Count shall not be melted down!"

Maddie and Jack came into the living room, the patriarch of the Fenton family seemingly happy for something. "Kids, I've got a treat for you. It's a new invention and-" His eyes caught sight of Fangula. "GHOST BAT!" he shouted as he lunged himself at Fangula who was caught in Jack's large hands. "Maddie, get the anti-ghost net! We can't let this thing escape!"

"DAD!" Jazz, Danielle and Danny yelled at the same time.

"Mr. Fenton, you can let go of him. He's with me," Devlin said, almost looking amused, as Fangula struggled in Jack's grip. Fangula was released and looked angry.

"How dare you treat me in such a way, you brute! Back in my day, we'd have people like you hung and beheaded for such disrespect!" Fangula snapped before Devlin removed his vest and caught Fangula within it.

Maddie, being a lot calmer than Jack (which is not saying much), decided to ask, "What is that?"

Again, Devlin explained what Fangula was, as much as he was allowed to tell.

"Are you sure he's a count?" asked Jack suspiciously. "He seems kinda shrimpy to me."

"Shrimpy!?" Fangula cried out, feeling insulted.

"Be nice dear," Maddie sighed. "He is our guest along with Devlin."

"Okay," Jack sighed. He then grinned as he turned to Devlin. "Hey, Devlin! I got some more fudge today! It's the good stuff too! Want some?"

"You bet," Devlin snickered. "You know me and fudge, Mr. Fenton."

"Aw, come on, kid!" Jack laughed. "How many times do I gotta tell ya? Call me Jack. We're friends, aren't we?"

"Old habits die hard, Jack," Devlin shrugged. "Now where's that fudge?"

"This way!" Jack grinned as he pointed to the kitchen. "Tally ho!"

Jack then dragged Devlin into the kitchen to claim their favorite snack. Maddie just laughed and followed them. She liked the fact that Danielle was dating a boy they actually liked. He was such a nice boy.

As Maddie left, Danny turned to his sisters with a plain gaze, "So, anything to mention about Devlin that you saw?"

"Um…new haircut?" asked Danielle.

"Fangula?" asked Jazz.

"No!" Danny frowned. "Didn't anyone besides me notice he looked beaten up? He must have gotten into a fight or something!"

"Judging how Fangula acts I think the fight was between them," Jazz shrugged. "I'm not going to pry."

"But Fangy is so cute!" Danielle frowned. "How can anyone get in a fight with him?"

Danny frowned. Devlin was obviously hiding something and Fangula was part of it. He needed to get to the bottom of this before anything bad happened.

The night was young and there were many things beyond ghosts that would be running around within it. Danny Phantom could only battle which was unseen by most, but there were worse things. The things that would actively prey on the lives of others rather than just cause havoc. These things were the true monsters and someone had to stand against them.

The chains of destiny have been released…

The champion has been chosen…

The Guardian of Darkness…

Masked Rider Fang!

WAKE UP!

Thanks to Ten Faced Paladin for his help on this fic. This is only a pilot so there are some things I may need to iron out. Can you give me any suggestions, let me know? When I do, I'll rewrite this and officially start the series.
