Ghostly Trick or Treats
The still night of Amity Park shinned in the moonlight. Excluding a ghost being chased down by none other than Danny Phantom. Danny had been chasing ghosts all night. First Skulker, the Box Ghost, Technus, the Box Ghost, the Ectopusess, did I mention the Box Ghost? Anyway, Danny was about to go home and hit the sack after catching the Box Ghost when this one showed up. It was somewhat different from other ghosts he'd faced. It kind of looked like the kind of ghost that a kid wearing a bed sheet would look likeā¦ well, except that it was mostly black with emerald green markings all over it (HFD: If you have played the game or seen the walkthrough of the Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge, you'll know what I'm talking about). So we now find our favorite halfa chasing this unusual ghost toward the forest.
Danny flew for quite some time now. And the woods seemed to be getting creepier looking as they flew through; like they were in a scary movie. Danny could have sworn he had passed a sign, but it might have been the fog playing tricks on him. He shook the thought from his mind; unaware that the sign read 'HinTerLaNds: YoU mAy EnTer buT yOu MaY nEvEr ReTuRn' (HFD: Don't try to correct me on that. That was how it was spelled on the sign in the game).
Danny had enough of ghosts for one night. His hands began to glow dangerously green; producing an ecto-beam being shot right at the ghost. A direct hit. That got the ghost's attention. It turned, its eyes fueling with anger. Danny that began to think that wasn't the greatest of ideas.
0000000000Jack Skelington's POV00000000000
Jack thought tonight was a nice night for strolling in the Hinterlands. After the whole Christmas incident, Oogie making himself the 'seven holidays king', and some planning with the mayor for next Halloween, the least he do to relax a bit was going on a midnight stroll. Jack had wondering for a while (HFD: Just to clear the confusion, Jack isn't with Zero this time. Jack's walking solo), that is until he began to hear a commotion of some sort. Curiosity getting the best of him like usual, he decided to check it out. He followed the noise 'till he came across a floating teenage boy fighting what looked to be like one of Oogie's left wondering monsters.
The boy had snow white hair and glowing green eyes. He seemed to be wearing a black jumpsuit too; with white gloves, boots, and a belt. He also had a white emblem with a speeding 'D' with a 'P' inside. It was only a few punches and kicks later that it dawned upon Jack that the kid was glowing white and floating. He must be a ghost too,Jack thought.
The battle once again drawled his attention when the ghost kid to a big blow in the chest by Oogie's goon. The kid fell to the ground weaker than ever.
Jack couldn't take just standing on the side lines anymore. He jumped out from behind the tree he was hiding behind and in front of the ghostly teen. "Leave him alone!" Jack shouted standing in his usual battle stance.
The ghost charged anyway, not knowing that Oogie had already been defeated on Christmas Eve. Jack then began to swing his right arm around, witch activated a green flubber wrapped around his wrist, witch called the 'Soul Robber' (HFD: That's Jack's weapon in the game.). He began whack the crap out of the ghost non-stop, not noticing a pair of blue rings appearing and disappearing around the boy's body.
0000000000Danny's POV0000000000
Danny watched what looked to be a very tall and skinny skeleton fight off the ghost. Danny didn't know who he was, but at this point, he didn't care. He felt too tired to put the pieces together. Don't pass out. Don't pass out and transform back, he thought. Suddenly the two familiar halo rings appeared around his waist. No! Quickly he made the rings disappear. He looked over to where the skeleton kept fighting, hoping he didn't noticed him almost transforming.

Jack punched the ghost once more with the Soul Robber, which caused it to disappear. Silence once again filled the air, as Jack walked over to Danny, who was on all fours by now. Danny forced himself up, but immediately fell back down with a soft thud. He was about to try again, when jack placed him bony hand on him, forcing him gently down.
"You look undead tired. You're too weak to even keep your eyes open. You need to rest." Jack comforted.
"Thanks for the help." Danny rasped. His eyes drooped while his head slightly hung.
"No problem," Jack replied warmly. But his smile faded when he took a glimpse at Danny. His suit was almost completely torn. And his hair was incredibly messy. The boy looked ready to pass out. "You okay?"
"I feel so tired," He moaned. "and sore." Jack was a bit surprised. Last time he checked, ghosts don't sleep. That's why they hang around longer on Halloween: To bring more thrills and chills while the others slept. But, then again, this ghost was more different than the others he'd come to meet. Maybe he was a different type of ghost.
But before Jack could respond, Danny's eyes slowly closed. His body slumped on the ground, completely limb. It took a couple of minutes for Jack to take in of what just happened. He looked down. The ghost boy laid there, obviously unconscious. Jack placed a hand on his skull, sighing.
"You win." He said, not really to anyone. He bent down, slowly picking him up bridal style. To his luck, the white haired kid didn't wake up; he was still out cold. Jack looked around one more time before heading to Halloween Town with one question in his mind: Who was this kid?
HalfafanD: Yay! All done. Now I've got a Christmas and Halloween special for you guys to complete. Originally, I wanted to play the game for myself, but I don't have it nor do I have an X-Box. So I did the next best thing. And I'm still working on the next chapter for Mysterious Magician; I'm just trying to come up with a bad guy. If you have any ideas, please notify me A-SAP. Review, no flames please.
