Ok, first chapter of the rewrite. Pretty similar, though this time I'll actually proof read it for any mistakes. O_O
A bird circled the streets of Jump City as the nightlife of the city began to die down. Drunken teens could be seen trudging back to their university housing with silly grins plastered all over their faces. The bird did not look at these children, no, he was looking for something other than underage drinkers. The bird landed on top of one of the streets more secluded bars and transformed into none other than the titans own Beast Boy. Beast Boy looked over the street from where he was crouched, taking care to look closely at the dark, piss-sodden alleyways around the bare. He looked for no more that exactly ten seconds before pulling out his yellow titan communicator.
"Looks like everything is clear here Robin."
"Good, move on to the museum district see if there are any disturbances." Beast boy nodded, even though the camera on his communicator wasn't enabled, and once more took the form of a forest green bird then took of into the night.
The museum district was no more that a few blocks away and in his current form he was able to cover the ground quickly. He landed on top of the Museum of Modern Science's roof and surveyed the area under him. Everything was quiet, too quiet for this time of night in this district. 'Maybe the villains are having a day off' thought Beast Boy, though he knew that that would never happen. Then the unexpected happened. The research facilities of the museum started to glow a ghostly green.
Beastboy was momentarily stunned as he gazed at the sight before him. Then his sensitive ears caught a humming sound and he leaped into action, jumping off the building and turning into an eagle mid-fall. He got to the late night couple also stunned by the supernatural occurrence just in time to shield them from the monumental blast caused as the research facilities exploded ina blinding flash of neon green.
As soon as the blast subsided Beastboy changed back from his gorilla form and took out his communicator once more.
"Robin!" He shouted into the microphone urgently. "You won't believe what just happened!"
"We saw Beastboy, hang in there. Take a look but don't go too close!"
"You don't have to tell me twice, I don't want to see what caused that." Beastboy murmured before taking flight once more.
As he circled around what was once the museum which held countless priceless artefacts he spotted a beam retracting from the ruins. He didn't want to risk going any closer to what had caused the damage around him. He waited in the sky, eagle eyes searching for any sign of his team.
"Plasmius' plan is working perfectly!" Skulker barked once he had retracted his wrist gun. "And this new weapon of his is just perfect!"
"Put away your silly guns you freak and scram! Leave me to do finish this act, or Plasmius will have both of our heads!" Bertrand replied, annoyed that the large ghost was still there.
The grin fell from Skulker's face and he glowered as the smaller ghost.
"Remember who you're talking too you pathetic worm." He threatened before reluctantly acknowledging his point as turning invisible before flying away towards the natural portal they had used earlier.
The entire play had been mapped and planned out weeks in advance by the genius that was his master. However a carefully laid out plan needed perfect execution and Skulker just hoped that now his part was done, that dratted shape-shifter would do his job, or both would be put to blame.
Back at the museum Bertrand transformed into a picture perfect replica of Danny Phantom, down to the very same glow in his eyes. He grinned as he saw the Teen Titans approaching.
'Took them long enough…'
"Who are you?" Robin shouted as the glowing teenager turned to face them.
Bertrand smirked; this was going to be way too easy.
"You may call me Danny Phantom. I already know who you fools are, the 'Teen Titans'. I also know you are their leader, the fabled boy wonder." He chuckled darkly.
"I must say, even though you're just a mere teenager I must say I expected somebody… bulkier…"
Robin internally rolled his eyes but kept up a calm mask.
"Why have you done this? What could you possibly gain from destroying this museum?"
"Wouldn't you like to know? My work here is done and I don't have the time to waste on you so-called heroes."
"Wrong answer! Titans, go!"
With the battle cry of their leader the Titans sprang into action. Beastboy changed into a green leopard and lunged at his foe with his gleaming claws outstretched. Robin also charged in with his bo-staff as Starfire and Raven took to the skies and prepared to rain down heavy amounts of dark magic and starbolts on to their mysterious foe. Cyborg stayed further back but charged up his sonic cannon in case either Robin or Beastboy was hit and the criminal needed to be distracted. It was one of their most effective strategies and usually worked on most enemies. However, most enemies did not have the ability to go intangible at will.
"What the hell?" screamed Robin as he simply went straight through the spectre and ended up sprawled on the floor. Beastboy met similar results and went to Robin's side, growling in his feline form.
Without needing a prompt Raven and Starfire started firing their magics at the now more threatening figure of Danny Phantom. He was hit once and was forced to dodge but Bertrand quickly overpowered Starfire after a short fire fight with a well placed ecto-ray. He turned and fired at Raven but he was surprised to see that Raven's dark magic could simply deflect the attacks. While dodging sonic blasts from Cyborg he turned disappeared then quickly reappeared in front of Raven. Raven fell from the sky after being subjected to an ecto enhanced punch but was caught by Beastboy in the claws of his pterodactyl form.
"You are all pathetic, mere humans!" Bertrand laughed as he turned intangible and simply passed through the rays Cyborg was firing at him.
"I shall now return to my base in Amity Park. You disgusting pieces of slime aren't even worth defeating further."
With that final insult Bertrand turned invisible and fled the destroyed museum before making his way to the portal Skulker had opened, leaving a team with bruises on both their flesh and egos.
"Did you finish the job?" said Skulker at the mouth of the portal.
"Of course!" replied Bertrand. "They were so easy to defeat! Without help they would stand no chance at defeating the ghost child! I don't see how Plasmius' plan will possibly work out."
"It will work, don't worry. And they will certainly have help." replied Skulker with an evil grin.
"Now change back to your normal form, seeing the ghost child looking malicious creeps even me out."
"We just got hammered." Beastboy moaned, and then promptly collapsed onto the sofa inside the Teen Tower's living room.
"Our behinds were certainly well kicked." Starfire agreed.
"We have to get this guy, we can't just give up." said Robin, trying to restore some morale.
"Oh come on Robin! He can turn invisible, fly, shoot those green ray thingies out his hands, go through our melee attacks; there's no way we'll be able to get him!" Beast boy threw his arms up in defeat.
"This is why Cyborg and I are going to start researching this Phantom character. He may have been powerful but he let things slip, like that he resides in Amity Park. It should be easy enough to just search the web for those key words to get some info on him."
"Hey you're right!" Cyborg grinned triumphantly. In his cybernetic eye you could see text scrolling down as he searched the web. "I just searched the key words 'Danny Phantom' and 'Amity Park'. Tons of websites have just came up."
"Anything interesting?" asked Robin.
"Well, he has a bounty on him and is known to have kidnapped the mayor of the town as well as caused an amazing amount of property damage fighting other ghosts."
"Did you say ghost?" interjected Raven. Ghosts, spirits and the supernatural were her area of expertise after all.
"Yup, apparently the only reason no superheroes have tried to take him out before is because he hasn't killed anybody yet; that and the fact that there are already two ghost hunters residing in the town."
"Can we contact them?" asked Robin, curious as to see if they could perhaps help them out in removing Phantom for good.
"I have a contact number. Mr and Mrs Fenton, the greatest Ghost Hunters currently known and pioneers of the technology most other hunters use."
"Then it looks like we have ourselves a new case team. We'll start packing tomorrow."
"Phantom won't get away with what he has done!" Starfire cried passionately.
"But who's going to look after Jump while we're gone?" asked Beastboy.
"I'll make sure some other Titians are called in. Let's get some rest now anyway; we have a long journey ahead of us."
The Titians all said their goodnights then trudged off to their respective rooms to sleep away their injuries. Before going to his own room Robin made one last detour to his investigation room. He drew out a new case file and printed out a front page which simply read:
"The Case Of Danny Phantom"
There we go, took me long enough but I know it, I'm an asshole with too many ideas going and not enough self control to finish one first. I'm starting another once I get a few chapters going, though this one is a Harry Potter fanfiction. It's lucky I was a Danny Phantom geek because now all I read is Harry Potter Fanfictions! I can still remember his character enough to get it down. Review Replies: Thankyou for all the support you guys have given me! And thanks for all you silent people who have honoured me with Story Alerts and Favourites even though you don't review. My email box regularly receives one or two notifications. About the Christian thing, I didn't rewrite because of that. I decided to rewrite this story because I realised my first plotline was pretty shitty and even I couldn't actually follow the story properly any more. It was unfortunate that I put that part in there but it wasn't bad. I WAS going to basically give Danny and Raven a power boost after they were trialled then release a HUGE plot twist which explains everything. The plot twist will still be there but the battles before between the Titains and Danny will be longer and much more numerous. Robin will be acting more subtly OOC but it will all be explained. I swear. -Forlornhero aka Jammerjcd aka James Dunstan aka James Dallos
