Hello my fellow Authors and Readers of Fanfiction. Okay first off; yes this is a new story and yes it has been a while since I've posted stuff. I'm not going to get into a lot of things until the outro because I have a few things to say; what I will say is that there is a reason why I'm doing this story; first off I like both Danny Phantom and Hotel Transylvania; I also like horror and love the supernatural and monster elements present in both; I started writing this over a year ago and just remembered it while I was re-organizing files on my computer and figured; hey why not; so here is the first chapter of my new story; A Hotel for Monsters.

Disclaimer: Like everyone else on this site I do not own Danny Phantom or Hotel Transylvania.

Chapter I: Lost in Transylvania

The light of the pale full moon poured through the wooden windows of the tavern. The cool breeze of the fall air blew the fallen leaves across the stone ground and the candle at his table illuminated the room and casted shadows across it. Danny Fenton was sitting alone in the tavern; having stopped his travels for a quick bite to eat. Despite being half dead and able to go longer than most humans without food or water; even he had to eat from time to time. Normally he wouldn't go to an old dark place like this; but he had no other choice. It had already been two days since his last meal and he didn't know if there would be a store or a market in the next town; or where the next town even was. Danny lifted his spoon to his mouth and took another gulp of his Ciorba. Ciorba was a general dish around these parts so he decided to give it a chance. Now having sampled the dish he found that he didn't mind the taste. While it wasn't something he thinks, he would have often; it was good enough to sustain his hunger and energy for now.

As he took another gulp; Danny began to dwell in his thoughts. More specifically the thoughts of what he's been through the last several years and how much his life had changed. First he was turned into a Halfa when he was encouraged by his friend Sam to look into his parent's Ghost Portal. Then he became the superhero known as Danny Phantom and started to protect his town from ghosts who wanted to terrorize humans and conquer the world. He did that for about four years; four years he stayed in Amity Park and defended his home from ghosts. However, that all changed when the Guys in White decided to set up shop and build their new headquarters in Amity Park. They said since it was the most haunted place in America they would have to be crazy to not set up there. They started to clean up the ghosts quicker then he could; mostly because they didn't hesitate on killing them or the property damaged that came along with ghost attacks. His parents Jack and Maddie Fenton; fearing that their portal may be the reason why the ghosts kept attacking reluctantly decided to shut it down and place it in storage.

When Danny turned eighteen and graduated from Casper High he decided to travel the world. Amity Park was not the safest place for ghosts or even Halfa's. Vlad had even resigned from his job as the Mayor in order to get away from Amity Park; he was currently living in his Wisconsin Castle running his business. Danny decided to follow Vlad's idea and take a page from Dani's book and see the world. The only things keeping him in Amity Park anyways were his friends and family. However, Jazz had already gone off to university for psychology and both Sam and Tucker would soon be heading off to their own respective colleges. When Danny turned sixteen he confessed his feelings to Sam and they started to date. However, they both soon realized that they would never be anything more than friends; they were both disappointed but accepted it and were able to remain best friends. So, Danny decided to travel the world; knowing that Amity Park would be somewhat safe while he was gone. Word spread around quickly in the Ghost Zone that with the GIW in town; Amity Park was a dangerous place. Only the bravest or dumbest ghosts would want to attack Amity Park now. He had also told his parents his secret before leaving; despite his fears which; turned out was all it ever was as his parents had accepted him for who he was.

While on his travels though; he had discovered that there were ghosts all over the world. He always suspected as much but the reason they weren't as common as the ones in Amity Park is because they didn't have ghost portal. Danny felt that it was still his responsibility to protect the world from ghosts. So, he decided that during his travels if he were to overhear something about a haunted place or scary area he would investigate it. Most of the time it was nothing but if there was a ghost than he would step in. First, he would see what the ghost wanted or why they were haunting and also see if they couldn't be reasoned with; otherwise or if they proved to be a danger then he would send them back to The Ghost Zone. Before Danny left he used his parent's blueprints to add an extra feature to the Fenton Thermos. Now whenever it sucks up a ghost it sends them right into The Ghost Zone. Since his parent's portal was shut down it was now harder to get out of The Ghost Zone. Danny was now on the verge of turning twenty; he had been traveling for just over a year and a half and he's just seen over half the world. Danny put the last bit of his soup in his mouth when the door to the tavern burst open; sending a cool fall breeze and dead leaves blowing in.

An old man walked into the tavern with a slight limp; pulling the collar of his coat up to protect his neck and face from the chilling air. He sat at the bar and gave a nod to the bartender; it seemed like he must have been a regular because with the nod the bartender started to pour a drink. Danny returned to his thoughts; wondering what his next step should be. Right now, he was in Transylvania which was strange because he didn't plan to come here. He just needed to fuel up before continuing on his journey. He was about to pull out his map from his backpack when his super-hearing started to pick up on the conversation between the old man and the bartender. He doesn't usually mean to eavesdrop but it's kind of hard not to do when you have enhanced hearing and you pick up other people's business like a magnet.

"Let me guess you saw it again?" the bartender asked.

"Yeah; it drove along the mountain side and right into the Haunted Forest; like it does every time this year; would have followed it; but you know." The old man replied in a graveled and aged voice.

"Yeah I hear you not even I would go into that place after sunset."

Danny's ears perked up at the words haunted forest; he knew that Transylvania had its own myths but usually with vampires not ghosts. Still the thought of a haunted forest still intrigued him; if there was a dangerous ghost that bothered these people here then he should take care of it; or at least find a way to make them all happy. Danny decided now was a good time for him to leave; having finished his meal; he would just need one last thing before he left; information.

"Thank you for the meal and I'm sorry but I couldn't help but over hear your conversation. What were you saying about a Haunted Forest?" Danny asked as he handed the dirty dishes to the bartender along with the money to pay.

"The woods north of here are haunted; old tales of ghosts and monsters lurking within them, No one dares venture near them; no one in 113 years have tried." The bartender answered.

"Wait you're saying that nobody has tried to go for a stroll in those woods for 113 years?"

"The only thing we see come in and out of those woods is a black car. It comes and goes from time to time but that's all that ever enters and leaves those cursed grounds; why are you so interested lad?" the old man inquired.

"Oh well my parents were ghost hunters. I heard the word haunted and I wanted to know what you meant." Danny stated.

"If you're thinking of going into those woods at this hour lad you are either brave or stupid the ghosts in there will claim your soul." The bartender warned.

"I appreciate your concern but I'm from Amity Park and like I said my parents are Ghost Hunters. Trust me I know how to handle a couple of ghosts."

"Well if you're going out into those woods boy have a swig of this. It'll keep your bones warm and your spirits high."

The bartender handed Danny a small silver flask; no doubt with alcohol in it. The bartender insisted he take a drink for it may be the last one he ever had. Danny looked at the flask before taking it and having one drink from it. Danny didn't have a problem with drinking; why because of his ghost powers. Thanks to his advanced healing and ghost metabolism he could literally drink a pool full of alcohol and still be sober. It was literally almost impossible for him to get drunk. It actually came in handy at times; whenever he came into a new town and needed cash he would partake in bar drinking games. He had become a good actor at acting drunk as he had to hide the fact he was always sober; but it was a good way to get money without having to steal it. That being said since it didn't affect him there was no real reason to drink it either but he always wanted to try new things and be polite so he took it. He took a swig before he handed the flaks back to the bartender. He then buttoned up his trench coat and walked out the door; a cool breeze brushing past his face.

Danny flew over the trees of the supposed haunted forest and so far, he wasn't impressed. Danny took a look at his ghost form; which had gone through some changes since he left home. The first major change was his costume; while he still wore the same black and white hazmat suit; it now had the addition of a long trench coat. The trench coat was black on the outside but the inner fabric was white. Danny liked the way the ends of the coat would blow in the wind during his travels; like a cape flowing in the wind. Danny's hazmat also went through some changes; not much but there was a little whiter on his sides and arms plus the addition of shoulder and knee pads to his costume. Those were a necessary addition due to how often he got into fights. The only other major change that Danny had gone through was the addition of fangs to his ghost form. At first when Danny got them he was afraid he would end up like Dan; his evil alternate future self. However, Clockwork had told him that him getting fangs were normal for ghosts with high power levels; which Danny was one of. Danny was at least relived to learn that due to his halfa status his fangs were retractable and didn't show up in his human form. They would come out automatically if he was ever annoyed, angered or stressed out in ghost form; otherwise he could control weather they were out or not.

Danny however turned his mind and thoughts back to the forest below. He was still unimpressed at what it was offering him. Just because a forest looks like it could be haunted doesn't mean that it is. There were dead and leafless trees as far as his sharp eyes could see. Dead trees reaching for the sky like skeletal hands. There was an ever-present fog and mist blanketing the ground like a transparent white sheet. The sounds of owls hooting and wolves howling in the background filled his ears along with the scattering of dead leaves blowing in the cool wind. Danny had been looking over the forest for an hour already and was starting to get bored. He was about to leave and give up when he felt a familiar chill travel down his spine and a wisp of blue mist poured from the corners of his mouth; his Ghost Sense; now things were getting interesting.

"Alright well someone's definitely here; now, where are you?"

Before Danny could even start to look he heard an all too familiar whiz in the air. He turned around just in time to dodge a small missile heading right towards him. The missile shot right past him and Danny turned towards his attacker. However, before Danny could find him the missile had returned and hit him in the back. Danny screamed in pain as he fell to the ground; smacking and breaking the branches of the dead trees. With a loud thud he hit the cold, hard ground. He started to pick himself up when he heard a familiar chuckle and the movement of mechanical servos. Danny stood up and turned to face his attacker who had stepped out of the shadows. The attackers silver armor shown in the pale moonlight; his weapons gleaming bright indicating they were recently polished and his glowing green eyes, dead set on his prey. No mistake; it was Skulker; the self proclaimed greatest hunter of The Ghost Zone.

"Well I've finally tracked you down whelp. You should know you can't hide from me." Skulker boasted.

"Yeah yeah I know; no one can escape Skulker the Lamest Hunter in The Ghost Zone." Danny shot back.

"You dare mock me whelp?"

"Don't I always; when you'd get the new arsenal?"

"Oh…you like my upgrade. All my missiles are now equipped with homing beacons. They will lock onto your unique Ectoplasmic signature so your days of dodging my missiles are over."

"That's fine it was getting to easy anyways; so why you hunting me this time; Did Plasmius hire you to "bring me home" again? Or are you still after my pelt?"

"Your pelt obviously and today is the day I finally rest it at the foot of my bed."

"That's still disgusting."

Danny raised his hands as they buzzed with green Ectoplasmic energy. Danny looked behind Skulker; his backpack had survived the missile and fallen off during his tumble from the sky. It now lay behind Skulker; his thermos was still inside; if he was going to stop Skulker he would have to get to his backpack. Skulker was the first to make a move; he raised his hand and a cannon ejected from a slot on his mechanical arm. With a loud pop it fired a projectile at Danny; it soon expanded to reveal a net. Acting quickly Danny formed a blade out of ectoplasm and swiped upward; slicing the net in two; both parts flying past him harmlessly. Skulker growled and lifted his other hand over his back. He then grabbed and pulled out a dart gun; quickly firing a shot at Danny and hitting the halfa in the shoulder. Danny staggered back while Skulker chuckled. However, nothing else happened. Danny then reached for the dart and easily pulled it out; discarding it to the ground with a flick of his hand.

"Seriously Skulker did you forget that you've drugged me so many times that I've built up a resistance to your drugs."

The hunter's faceplate was one of surprise and shock; apparently he had forgotten that little fact. He growled in anger and annoyance before lifting his hand; which had now converted into a cylinder cannon and started to fire at Danny. Danny had no choice but to move; doing his best to avoid the Ectoplasmic fire while also making his way to Skulker. Danny was getting close to Skulker and when he was close enough he slid on the ground; avoiding Skulker's fire. Right before he was about to hit him Danny swung his leg; tripping the hunter; but instead of hitting the ground; he landed on an uppercut. Danny then quickly stood up and did a spin kick sending Skulker flying back a few feet. Skulker quickly activated a pair of wrist blades from his gauntlets and stuck them into the ground using them to slow his tumble. When he came to a stop Skulker looked up to see Danny searching through his backpack. Now was a perfect opportunity to get the drop on him. Skulker activated the missile launchers on his shoulder and fired every missile he had at Danny.

Danny heard the sound of the missiles engines start up. He stopped looking for the thermos and turned to see Skulker fire his entire supply of missiles at him. Danny remembered Skulker said that every single one of his missiles were now equipment with a homing chip. He couldn't outrun them so he would have to destroy them. He couldn't search for the thermos and fight Skulker if those things were dogging him. Danny immediately took to the air; whizzing past the trees until he had cleared them and was in the open sky. He looked down to see that the missiles had veered upward and were still heading towards him. Danny lowered his hands and started to fire ghost rays at the missiles hoping to destroy them. He was successful in destroying a few; but he had little time; the missiles were fast.

Danny figured he's try to hit them on the move. Flying in patterns and random directions while firing ghost rays in his best attempts to throw the missiles off. But it was no use; these missiles would follow him wherever he went until they hit something. The light bulb in Danny's head suddenly flashed as he got an idea. Danny looked down towards the ground; Skulker was looking up at him and laughing; Danny started to head towards Skulker. Danny landed right in front of the ghost hunter; much too said hunter's surprise.

"I think these belong to you; so I'm giving them back." Danny simply replied.

Danny waited a couple seconds before turning intangible and sinking through the ground. Skulker still too surprised to do anything that he didn't even get to finish his curse before he was bombarded by his own missiles. The missiles were still locked onto Danny's signal; the only problem; Danny was now far beneath Skulker; they would first have to get through him and a few feet of dirt before they reached him. Danny waited for the ground to stop shaking from the impacts and explosions before he slowly rose from the ground. The tree's around him were now blazing with green fire from the explosions and a battered up Skulker was now lying on the ground; sparks and oil leaking from his suit. Danny walked over to his backpack which was thankfully untouched from the explosions and pulled out the thermos.

Danny then walked over to Skulker; Danny prepared to suck Skulker up. However, before he could Skulker swung at Danny; his wrist blades still out; slicing Danny across the chest. Danny staggered back only to have Skulker stab his foot with a hunter's knife. Danny dropped the thermos and raised his hands firing ghost rays at Skulker. After a minute of firing nonstop at Skulker Danny decided to hold fire. He hissed in pain as he looked over to survey the damage he did. Skulker now lay on the ground his suit battered; maybe even beyond repair; whole sections completely blown away to the wiring and other parts either falling off or barely attached. Danny reached down and pulled the knife out of his foot; a small amount of ectoplasm spurting out as he did so. He dropped the knife on the ground and picked up the thermos again; once again aiming it at Skulker.

"Seriously Skulker you've been hunting me for nearly six years now when are you going to take a hint?" Danny asked.

"Mark my words whelp...one of these days…I will...have your pelt!" Skulker choked out though the pain.

"Not today."

Danny activated the thermos and pointed it directly at Skulker. The ghost hunter screamed in rage at being denied his prize once again. But he didn't bother to struggle; on top of having damaged armor; almost every ghost knew by now that once Phantom's got you; he's got you; there was no escaping the thermos's grasp. Within seconds the ghost hunter found himself floating in green swirling mass of The Ghost Zone. Stuck there until he could either convince Plasmius to let him out though his portal or until he found a natural portal. With Skulker gone Danny breathed a sigh of relief. He brushed the mud, dirt and leaves off his clothes and placed the thermos back into his backpack. He looked around at the burning trees; this forest was vast and was full of dead leaves signaling the fall season. He didn't want to be responsible for a forest fire. Danny lifted his hands and shot ice beams at the raging fires; extinguishing them and replacing them with a light cover of frost.

However Danny found he had a new problem; he was now in the middle of the haunted forest. The fight with Skulker would have either attracted the attention of any ghosts in the area or scared them off. There wasn't going to be anymore ghosts appearing tonight. Danny grabbed his backpack and put it back on. He then leaped into the air to take off but a shot of pain went though his leg and chest prevented him from doing so. Danny landed back on the ground and took a look at his wounds. Usually thanks to his advanced ghost healing wounds he suffered in battle didn't usually bother him that much. Injuries that would usually take days to heal were fixed in a mere matter of hours. However, he still felt pain and right now he had a clean cut across his chest and a piercing wound in his foot; every time he tried to take off and fly they would shoot him with pain which meant he was grounded until they healed. That wasn't really a big problem they would probably be better in an hour or two. What was a problem though was he was now grounded in the middle of a forest. Danny's best option right now would be trying to find a place for him to spend the night; to rest and heal up. But based on what the men in the village said nobody hardly ever came into this forest. So Danny decided to walk into the deep forest with hopes of finding shelter.

Danny had been walking for about an hour by now. His injures were doing better but it would still take another hour to completely heal. But after walking for an hour there was still no sign of shelter. His cell phone had no signal but he also didn't want to use it unless he had to. He wanted to save the power since he didn't know if he would be able to find an electrical outlet to charge his phone with while he was here. If the rest of Transylvania was like the village he just passed then the answer would be a no. Danny started to consider if he should start to head back towards the village when something caught his eye. In the distance he saw a light; a bright orange light. Danny looked closer and noticed that it was a huge bonfire. There were no stormy clouds in the sky so it could not have been caused by lightning; someone had to have set that fire which meant there were people there. Danny readjusted his backpack and started to make his way towards the light which grew brighter the closer he got to it.

When he finally arrived at the area he saw a strange sight. There were a bunch of buildings being torn down. They were hollow so they weren't meant to be lived in and it looked like they were from the 19th century. Danny figured that they must have been filming a movie or something here which was kind of cool. He wondered what movie they would be filming. However it was the people leaving the area that caught his eye. They all wore strange masks, walked like they were stiff and in pain and some of them were even on fire; maybe a stunt went wrong. Danny decided for the time being he should remain unseen. Maybe these people could lead him to a town or place where he can rest for the night. There had to be a place close by in order for all these people to be here. Danny watched as the strange people started to walk into a secret tunnel in the ground. Danny thought it was strange; but shrugged it off and started to follow them; wondering where the heck they were going.

Okay there you go; so yeah this is a crossover I've wanted to do for a while. Now before I get into things; no don't worry about me having to much on the go; this story will not be more than 10 chapters; I already have it all planned out and had half of it written over a year ago; like I said before I rediscovered it on my computer when I was reorganizing my files; so this will not be an ongoing thing I already have half of it written and I can get the other half done easily. Also that doesn't mean I'm posting it all at once; no I have four chapters already done but I want to wait until I have a few more done before I start posting them frequently. That being said all the chapters will be out by October so happy Halloween for those.

Now as to why I haven't updated in a while; well I've been busy; like really busy; first off Zelda and Mass Effect; I don't think I need to say anymore on that; you long time fans of mine know I am a gamer and I have been playing those two games non-stop over March. Also on March 3rd when Zelda was released we still had Ice where I live and while I was walking home from picking it up I slipped and fell on my ankle spraining it so I was also bed/couch ridden for a while; but hey an actual excuse to sit and play video games huh. Also I'm in a program that will help me get a job or may even get me a job; the thing though is that it's a six month program and it's for six hours everyday but weekends; so it's basically school again so I don't have as much time as I did before.

Now for those wondering about my other stories; Star Wars: The Phantom Rebel will be updated soon; I already had half of it done before Zelda came out; Zelda, Mass Effect and this new program had delayed it's completion but that is the next thing I'm going to get too; after that I'm going to look at finishing writing Mother of a Phantom and getting it posted. I'm really sorry that it's taking so long fro me to get to MOAP I feel like George R. R. Martin taking too long for his next novel; I'm sorry but I'm trying to get it done; I found this since it was already half done I could finish it easily. So I hope you enjoyed the first chapter and look forward to more; if you have any suggestions on what I could include please feel free to let me know.

Otherwise it's the usual; if you like this or my other work please favorite and favor this and pleas everybody review; let me know what you think; until then...
