Phantom Bat

Chapter 1

Rise again

Okay, this is another one of those crazy ideas you just have one night. So let's see how it goes. Now, as I said in the description, the pairing for this is undecided. But the candidates for the poll in the reviews are Max, Melanie, Aquagirl, Ember, Dora, or Valerie. And before anyone asks, yes. Danny is still able to use most of his powers. But no longer shows up on ecto radars or can be harmed by anti ghost weapons or items. With all that explained... Let's kick it up!

Neo Gotham city. New name. Same town. Despite decades worth of work. The city still suffered from the problems of old. Crime running rampant, decent people afraid to leave their homes, and the people at the top succumbing to either of the two. But the thing about a place like that, is that sometimes it just takes one man to stand up and make the tables turn. This is the story of a man just like that.

A man was walking through the city with his daughter right next to him.

"Come on, Daddy! We're going to miss the movie." The girl impatiently said.

"Alright. Calm down." The man said with a chuckle before deciding to cut across an alley to get to the movie theater faster. However, just as the two were about to reach the other end of the alley, they were surrounded on both sides by people in clown makeup.

"Get behind me, sweetie." The man said as he pushed his daughter behind his leg and they backed up against a wall before the leader of the clowns pushed up on his chin with a crowbar.

"Just hand over your wallet and your little girl won't have to see a particularly messy Gallagher show." The purple suited clown said before he and all three of his accomplices felt a chill in the air.

"What was that?" Asked one the clowns who was wearing a jester hat before he turned around to see the one who was standing next to him was gone. "Uh guys, where P?" He asked.

"I have no idea." A girl who was wearing a polkadot dress that was two shades of pink said before a thug who was dressed up like Pennywise from IT 2017 slammed down in to a dumpster, causing it to collapse.

"P!" The jester hatted thug shouted before running over to the Pennywise looking thug. "What happened?" He asked as the downed thug grabbed the jester thugs shirt.

"Ba- Ba-Ba-Ba..." P tried to warn them what had got him.

"What is it?" Jester asked before P finally managed to get it out.

"BATMAN!" He shouted before the lights flickered for a moment. When they came back on, standing between the still standing thugs was a man in an armored black suit with red lines on the limbs, three spikes on each arm, a silver and red belt with a red center, red eyes, a black scalloped cape with red lining and a red interior, and a large red Bat symbol in the middle of his chest.

"I don't know who you think are. Actually yes I do." The purple suited clown laughed before swinging his crowbar at the one that his associate had referred to as 'Batman' only for him to grab it mid swing. For a brief second, the bar felt cold before Batman squeezed it and caused it to shatter before he punched the clown out.

The next to try at the masked man was the girl in the polkadot dress who came running at the hero with a spiked rubber chicken and attacked him with a wide swing only for Batman to do a sweeping dodge and throw two Bat shaped throwing weapons with cyan wings for blade that flew parallel to each other, electricity arcing between them in a stream that knocked the girl out as they passed by her.

The only ones involved in the fight who were left standing were Batman and the jester hatted thug. The latter of whom began bolting only to a sharp pinch and a hard tug as he was pulled back to Batman who delivered a hard chop to his neck, knocking him out.

Batman took a moment to cuff the thugs before he turned to the man and his daughter before giving them a comforting nod before his cape began to somewhat fold out forming wings and he began to fly while being boosted by jets in his boots.

After a couple minutes of minutes of flight, Batman found himself on the top of impossibly large futuristic skyscraper before pressing his right index and middle fingers to his ear.

"Well, saved two people, put four Jokers on the fast lane to Blackgate, and successfully planted the seeds of people knowing the Batman is back. All in all. Successful field test." Batman said to someone on the other end of his com line.

"You also used your powers." A grizzled voice noted.

"It was just for some lite scares. Nothing a little extra food at dinner won't fix." Batman waved off.

"You should still try to reserve them for when you need them. Anyway, you should come back to the cave. It's getting late." The old man advised.

"On my way." Batman said before leaping off the building and pressing in on the under side of his left wrist and flipped before landing in a flying black and red car and flying off in it.

Half an hour later, the car arrived in a large cave which seemed to be one part command center one part museum before Batman jumped out the car and activating a mechanism on his helmet, releasing it before he took it off to reveal the face of a seventeen year old boy with black hair with a white streak just off center to the right and different colored eyes, the left blue and the right green.

"The car's pulling a bit to the right." The young man said, petting a German Shepard that ran up to him as he walked up to a swivel chair in front of a large computer console. The chair then turned to see a silver haired man who looked to be in his early to mid sixties wearing a suit.

"There's a slight problem with the thruster. I'll run some diagnostics." The man said as he stood up. "In the meantime you should eat and get some rest." He said as he patted the boy on the shoulder while walking over to the car.

The boy then turned towards a large staircase and began walking towards it, stopping only for a breif moment to look at a circular archway and he began to think about how he got to that point.

(Flashback)

Two years before he was Batman, he went by two other names. One of which was Danny Phantom. To some, he was considered to be the hero of his home town of Amity Park. Others found him to be a threat due to the source of his powers. Then of coarse there were those that wished do harm the people of his town and that is where our story truly begins.

Danny Phantom was currently in the middle of battling one of his more dangerous foes, Techness above a building with name 'Fenton Works' on top.

"What do you want this time?" Danny asked while firing out a blast of green energy.

"Well, child. It's quite simple. This just us finally, getting you out of our way." Techness said with a grin as Danny's eyes widened slightly at the word 'our' being used when suddenly he got hit hard by a missile to the back causing him to fall to the roof of the building.

"Why am I not surprised to see you two working together?" Danny asked as he looked up to see up to see one of his longest running nemeses, the mech suit clad 'Skulker'.

"Who said it was just the two of us, whelp?" Skulker asked with a smirk as the skies began to darken a lightning crashed through them as two of Danny's most powerful enemies, the living storm, Vortex and the black dragon, Aragon descended on him.

'Oh hell.' Danny thought as the four ghosts blasted at him and he quickly brought up an energy shield which was only held the attack of an instant before blasting him down, forcing him to phase through and fall in to the basement, landing right in front of his parents, the brilliant yet surprisingly incompetent ghost hunters, Jack and Maddie. As the two didn't know of his double life as the ghostly guardian, immediately attacked him by shooting at him with ecto guns, hitting him square in the chest due to him still reeling from the last hit.

As the young hero tumbled to the ground, twin rings of light formed around his waist and went in opposite directions up and down his body, changing his snow white hair to raven black and the beat up black and white jumpsuit to a white t shirt with red on the color and sleeves and a red oval in the middle and a pair of blue jeans.

"Danny?" Both of his parents asked in shock as the teen tried to get up and turned to them.

"Run." Danny struggled to say before passing out as Techness phased through the roof, seeing that Danny was depowered and in front of the Fenton's' portal in to the realms of the 'Ghost Zone' and then blasted it with energy that had ones and zeros coming off of it at the archway of the portal opened as a white vortex sucked the unconscious teen inside, frying the machinery after the fact.

(Meanwhile)

Within the realms of the Ghost Zone, in the Castle of time floated a ghost with a scar over his left eye in purple robes and a clock inside his chest. This was the guardian of time and one of Danny's most powerful allies from those days, Clockwork.

"And so it begins." Clockwork said as he looked in to a crystal ball to see the image of Batman standing over the Neo Gotham skyline as his symbol lit up the night sky.

(Within the Portal)

Danny floated in the space in between dimensions, his already mutated body being reconstituted from the energy that continued to hit him, merging his two different forms in to one. Causing the white streak to appear in his hair and his right eye to permanently become the green that it would become when he transformed in to Danny Phantom.

(In the Batcave)

Under the halls of stately Wayne Manor, stood an old man far beyond his prime. Bruce Wayne. The original Batman. For the past six years however, issues with his heart had prevented him from protecting his city and now all he could do was watch on as it began to rot without him.

Letting out a sigh as he turned to leave the cave, he heard something behind him as he turned to see a cross dimensional portal he had used several times when the were crises on other Earths suddenly activated, shooting the unconscious boy out of the white vortex.

Bruce quickly walked up to the boy along with his Dog, Ace before kneeling down next to him and checking his pulse.

(Flashback end)

Danny shed a tear at the thought of that day and the thought of his family, as far as he knew, dying without him there to protect them and the fact they couldn't get the portal open from their side. He quickly shook these thoughts from his head, knowing that there was nothing he could do about that and the best thing he could do was keep moving.

(In an office building in the middle of Neo Gotham)

A red haired man at the age of about thirty was working in his office at Wayne Powers. The company which ran most of Neo Gotham at at one time was run by Bruce Wayne. Suddenly one of his coworkers quickly and silently ducked in to his office and rushed.

"Harry? What's the matter?" The man said as the coworker put a disk on his desk.

"Warren, you have to *cough cough* hide this *cough cough* from Powers. You can't let him *cough cough* get this." Harry said before he began coughing non stop before he fell over and passed out and Warren ran over to him, noticing that there were green marks on Harry's skin.

Wasting no time, Warren called an ambulance, not knowing that every office in the building was monitored by the companies CEO, Derek Powers and his scar faced bodyguard, Mr. Fix.

"Well, it would seem that you should pay a visit to Mr. McGinnis." Powers said as Fix began to leave the room before the white haired man stopped him and smirked as he said "Oh, and say hello to his son, Matthew for me."
