So here's the last of these little one shots. I think most importantly, I want people to tell me how well I wrote the characters from American Dragon: Jake Long and Randy Cunningham Ninth Grade Ninja now that I've watched all of both. My first test was my oneshot called Alektorophobia and I wrote that before I had watched either (at that point I'd only watched Danny Phantom). So I want to know if I've improved, if I've captured their specific humor and feel of the show. Tell me anything I might have missed in regards to their characters and interactions, if you don't mind. :)

So without further ado, let's see what Danny's up to with this short intro into his crews' point of view.

Oh and for timeline stuff, This story and the full story will begin (for the Phantom crew) a few days after Reality Trip. All episodes after that will be AU and I will adapt them to how I see fit. It's kinda the same for Randy, seeing as it didn't get completed, so his and Danny's stories will be continuing at the same time, AU versions of Danny's cannon episodes and my interrelation of what could've happened with Randy's show. Jake's kinda along for the ride since his job kinda never ends. He'll get love though.

"And bring down this firewall… here…" Tucker murmured. "Cover my tracks…"

Danny tapped his barefoot against his carpet as he waited for Tucker to get into the Guys in White's files. After their experience with the government agency when Danny's secret was ousted to the world, they had decided that they needed to take them more seriously. So after some long discussions and a few brief debates, they had decided to let Tucker hack into their database every so often, so they could know ahead of time, what to expect from the agents in the future. Sam snorted.

"Can you not narrate?"

Tucker glared over his shoulder. "Can you hack into a highly secure government database?"

Silence.

"Then until you can, I think I'd like to narrate."

Danny and Sam looked at each other and simultaneously rolled their eyes.

"Annnnnnndd… Done." Sam and Danny moved closer to look over Tucker's shoulders. "Let's see what they've done recently…"

"Well?" Danny asked.

"Hmm… There's a couple of blueprints on net guns that are newish, mostly due to accuracy and net-size increase adjustments. They're putting up a poll regarding renaming the White Fang tracking devices-shocker. Oh… well that doesn't look good."

"What!?" Danny and Sam asked at the same time, with concern in their voices.

"They've been trying to bring back Blood Blossoms using DNA analysis of related species and what few fossil specimens they do have. We'll have to watch out for that to see if they actually succeed in developing equipment that utilizes Blood Blossoms."

"Great. I guess we need to tell my parents to work double time on figuring out how to deal with that type of poisoning. Too bad they don't have any samples to study." Danny groaned in annoyance. That was another thing all of Team Phantom was trying to get used to, the idea that Danny's parents were now in on the big secret. He had made the last minute dicision to let them keep their memories of his other self. He was slowly introducing them to everything he and his friends and sister had been through, but it was a slow process. The good news was that, they loved him, just as his father had said and they were trying their best to make up for lost time.

"At least your dad has that old journal from one of his ancestors that talks about the flowers, so they're not treading completely blind," Sam pointed out. "They also built a Ghost Zone Portal somewhat blindly too."

"True." Danny then let out a resigned sigh. "Anything else?"

"Uhhhhh… Wait! There's one more thing. I almost missed it because it was in a folder that stored minor schedule changes, like day to day stuff. They've changed the schedules for some of their agents to include periodic trips to Lake Eerie."

"Why would they want to visit there of all places?" Sam mused, leaning back in order to try and think.

Tucker adjusted his glasses as he read the notice. "It says they're checking traps…"

"Checking traps?" Danny asked in utter confusion, a moment before his, Sam's, and then Tucker's eyes went wide with realization.

"WULF!" The trio exclaimed at the same time. They had found out recently, that Wulf liked the Lake Eerie area and had told them that he had a cave there when they'd last seen him in the Zone. So far Walker hadn't tried anything yet, but they were expecting trouble from him sometime in the future.

"What should we do?" Sam questioned, looking at the others. "It's only a matter of time before Wulf gets caught. He hangs out there a lot."

"I'll just have to go warn him real quick. They aren't scheduled to be at the lake now, right?" Danny answered and then asked, transforming into Phantom.

"Well, no, but what about us?" Tucker asked.

"I'll be back before you know it. I'll just go warn Wulf to stay away from there. Then I'll hightail it back and we can go back to chilling and having a good first weekend of Summer game-o-thon." Danny smiled.

"And your parents?" Sam questioned.

"I'll be fine. They're busy in the lab anyways."

"But there are traps set out there and you don't even know what they look like," Sam countered.

"Look, I'll even bring my phone incase something bizarre happens," Danny expressed, swiping his cell from his bedside table.

"Which is almost always the case," Sam grumbled.

"Chill a litte, Sam. Danny just beat Freakshow for a second time a couple days ago. I don't think we have that bad of luck," Tucker expressed, deleting lingering files and evidence from his laptop. Danny and Sam both stared at him. "Oh what? Not the bad luck Tuck thing again! Come on! I am not bad luck."

Danny sighed and looked at Sam. "I'll be careful. I'll be in and out and I'll bring my phone and use it if so much as a twig snaps, okay?"

Sam frowned at him for a long time. "Fine. Get out of here, Ghost boy."

Danny saluted, "Yes, ma'am."

"Pfft."

He was then gone before they could blink. Tucker shut his laptop and gave a purposeful look toward Sam, who only rose her eyebrow. "Getting awfully protective of a certain Fenton boy are we?"

Sam glared at the geek. "He's my best friend, why wouldn't I worry?"

"Just admit it to me flat out. You love him or like him a hella lot. I'm also curious as to when this started happening. You know, you're side of the story? Even if I knew it was happening from the start." Tucker finished and rested his chin in the palm of his hand and eyed Sam like a cat would eye a canary.

Sam wasn't going to fall for it. "So what, you could imagine your life without him?"

This of course, Tucker wasn't expecting. "What? Well, no, but-"

"No buts."

Tucker pouted. "You can't keep deflecting me forever." They stared at each other for a few moments longer. "You ready for your butt to get handed to you in Mario Party four or five?"

Sam paused. "Why only four or five?"

"Because they're the only two I brought over for the sleepover and they're my two favorite."

Sam grinned in determination. "You're on."

After about five minutes of flying, Danny found himself around the edge of Lake Eerie, it was a small lake that was in-between Lake Erie and the rest of Indiana. It had gotten it's comical name from being the go to place for camping and fishing for Amity Park residents and for it's closeness to the larger Lake Erie. That and it was also spooky as hell at times.

The hybrid looked around, trying to orient himself and remember where Wulf had said his cave was. He flew a bit east and eventually came across a small bluff of rocks and stone, which had a cave in the side of it. Danny floated down in front of the entrance and cupped one hand near his mouth. "Wulf? Wulf, vi tie?" (Wulf? Wulf, are you there?). After several minutes, Danny was going to call out again, when he heard a familiar voice.

"Amiko Danny?" (Friend Danny?). Wulf bounded through the undergrowth behind the ghost boy and stopped before standing up on his back legs and walking forward. The werewolf was still wearing his green hoodie and Danny could see joy reflecting in his eyes when he spotted the ghost boy.

"Uhhh… One sec…." Danny racked his brain, trying to remember some of the lessons Tucker had been teaching him. "Vi devas forlasi." (You need to leave).

"Kial?" (Why?). Wulf asked and then cocked his head.

"Errrmmm…" Danny desperately tried to find words. He ended up having to pause between each sentence in order figure out what to say for the next one. "Eria Lago estas danĝera. Blankaj viroj metis por vi. Forlasi por la momento kaj mi diros al vi, kiam ĝi estas sekura." (Lake Eerie is dangerous. White Men have set traps for you. Leave for now and I will tell you when it's safe.) Danny sighed in relief. "I totally deserve extra credit points in Spanish for this."

"Jes. Mi vizitos amikon Danny hejmo en posta tempo." (Yes. I will visit friend danny's home at a later time.) Danny tried to open his mouth to stop Wulf, but the werewolf ghost had already jumped into a portal he'd created to the Ghost Zone.

"Great, how will I explain a visiting ghost werewolf to mom and dad? So long as they don't shoot him on sight." Danny grumbled. He turned and walked a couple steps, readying himself for take-off, when he heard a terrible noise.

Ghost detected within range. Deploying. Just moments after Danny's feet had left the ground, a green whip of energy lashed out and wrapped around his right ankle, similar to a lasso. Then came the electricity. Danny let out a tortured scream before slamming into the earth. The current stopped, so that meant it was likely only used to help stun the captured ghost. Danny lifted his head and followed the cord down to a flat silver disc. He groaned and pulled himself up and tried to dust himself off before walking over to look at the trap he was in.

He then tried blasting it, flying fast and hard enough to break it, he was even desperate enough to change back into human form and see if the device would simply let him go. No such luck. "Great. Just great." After changing back into his ghost form, Danny reached into the pocket he kept various items in when he was a ghost and pulled out his phone, only to find out it had been fried by the initial electric shock. "Oh no. No no no…"

Danny groaned in a mix of irritation and barely contained fear. He glanced down at the disc again and observed something that caused his stomach to drop. There was a blinking red light flashing from where the cord was attached. It was probably a signal of some kind and if that were the case, then that meant the Guys in White were already on their way.

For the first time Danny could remember, he let out a noise of distress and fear that wasn't too characteristic of him. He then started to desperately yank and pull at the cord. "Clockwork, help me!" The plea left his lips even as visions that should only ever stay in someone's nightmares started to become more and more real and possible in Danny's mind.

After nearly two hours of fear clawing at his stomach due to anticipation, Danny was starting to really loose his cool. He was running out of time, fast. Even at the sounds of squirrels scurrying about, Danny would flinch and look around, all while still trying to break the dumb rope that held him captive.

Then he happened to notice something. The red light had stopped blinking. Was that somehow Tucker's doing? Did they know he needed help? Or where they still waiting just a bit longer for him to show up for video games and the Guys in White were simply minutes from walking up on him first?

"Hey! You okay?"

"Whoa, dude he's all glowy but it's a nice kinda glowy, ya know?"

"What the juice!? Who-WHAT are you!?"

At that moment, a strange red scaled dragon with a beanie wearing boy riding on his back, a masked kid that had a crumbled map in his hand, and a ghost boy trapped by a ghost snare all saw the people and creatures assembled and started to gap at each other like idiots for different individual reasons.

So there we have it. That's the end of my Prequel/Preview thing. Tell me what you think of the characters and how I portrayed them in each oneshot if you'd like. I'm hungry for you're feelings on how I did with the peeps from Jake's and Randy's shows most importantly. These one shots will eventually be adapted/rewritten for the full story and how the secret trio meet in that story. Some things will stay the same and others will change, especially the pace and such. Also what do you think about the first touch of my AU third season of Danny Phantom, you know having Danny's parents remember his secret instead of having their memories erased with everyone else by the Reality Gauntlet? So yeah, tell me what you think.

Sorry that each part got a bit shorter with each fandom. I believe this happened because of the timeline I've set up. Danny's just off of Reality Trip, so there's not much to catch readers up to there and Randy had just finished up with Evil Julian and the Sorcerer. For Jake though, two entire years have passed since Hong Kong Longs in my timeline, so there was a lot more I had to flesh out and catch people up on in his oneshot. I hope that's not too big of an issue.

That be all.
