Here I have decided to post another fan-fic. This time it is about Danny Phantom and Jake Long (AKA American Dragon) meeting eachother...right now I have two fan-fics going on, so I am going to have to multi-task (which I'm not good at, so sorry for the wait if you end up waiting!)
This takes place BEFORE everyone knows Danny's secret, and BEFORE Jake Long's father knows his son's secret. I hope you enjoy it, and remember to COMMENT!!!! Here is the first part:
Part 1: The Beginning of it All
It was an average day for Danny: he was at school putting his books in his locker, staring at a picture of Paulina, when Dash walks up behind him.
"Hey, Fenton," Dash said, slamming Danny's locker closed with his meaty fist, "heard you got an A on your history exam, may I have the honor of congratulating you?" Dash pulled up the sleeve on his red and white leather jacket, pinned Danny to the wall of lockers. Danny braced himself for the punch, it wasn't like he could use his powers in front of Dash...
RING RING!
"What do ya know! Bell rang, bye!" Danny said as he ran past Dash and got into Mr. Lancers room.
"Late again, Mr. Fenton. Take your seat." Mr. Lancer said, holding a stack of papers.
Danny took his seat in the back in between Sam and Tucker.
"Now as I was saying, class, before so rudely interrupted," he sent a nasty glance towards Danny, "the school board has agreed to let us go on a field trip to New York not only to visit the second handsomest teacher in the world, my colleague Hans Rotwood, but to observe new learning habits from the students that go to school there. However, due to the limited budget, you all will be staying with one of those students in their house." Mr. Lancer says. "Now return this permission slip if you want to go, or should I say, HAVE to go. This field trip is mandatory and will last for 5-7 days." Mr. Lancer starts handing out the permission slips to his students, and gave one to Danny last.
"I EXPECT you to be there, Mr. Fenton. This will give you an extra credit opportunity, and I wouldn't think about passing it up with your D average." He whispers.
Danny takes the paper, not staring into Mr. Lancers stern eyes.
Once Mr. Lancer was finished discussing the rules and regulations of the trip, the bell rang. Danny darted out of there as quick as he could before Mr. Lancer would drop his grade any lower.
"YES!" Danny said to Tucker and Sam once school was over as they were walking home.
"A week off from being Danny Phantom in the big city without my parents is probably going to be the best week of the school year!"
"I know! I can't wait to get out of my house of morning people and sleep in!" Sam said.
"I don't really care as long as they have Nasty Burgers up there. I can't live without my meat!" Tucker said.
"Yeah, I just hope that my parents don't ask to go with us...It'll just be annoying, especially since we'll be staying with some kid! Imagine what he would be thinking if my family was a bunch of ghost hunters! Nothing could be POSSIBLY worse than that!" Danny finished.
Let me know if you guys like it or not! (and to all of my fans that are reading my other fan-fic, sorry about all of Tucker's meat quotes!) Let me know your thoughts! (please no new characters)
Thanks!

I really appreciate you making the next part, 23horses! But I think I can finally say that I am over my writer?s block and can resume writing. The only problem that I?m really having is time to get my ideas down on the computer! I can keep on writing the story now, so don?t worry-I think I have the time to make more parts! I re-created part 41 but kept your ideas in there. I just wanted to make a small tweek to it. I hope you guys like it! Also, I?m trying another style of formatting, but if you guys don?t like it, I?ll just go back to just doing what I usually do.
Remember to comment!
Part 41: Catastrophe
The Huntsmaster grabbed his head and collapsed to the ground as everyone turned to see what the matter was. Danny was fighting the Huntsmaster and the Huntsmaster was fighting with Danny. All of a sudden, the body of the Huntsmaster began to glow a sickly black as it flew in the air as if pulled by an invisible string.
It was good versus evil, both trying to gain control over the other. Little did Danny know that if he lost this mind tug-of-war that he would lose the ability to leave the evil body.
A pitiful scream of a ghostly wail pierced the ears of the audience. Gramps and Jake reverted back to their human forms as to not let their dragon hearing get the worst of the noise.
?What?s going on? Where?s Danny?? Jake screamed over the noise.
?He?s trying to overshadow the Huntsmaster!? Sam screamed back. ?It?s never taken this long though!?
?He needs help, y?all!? Trixie said with an a-matter-of-fact tone.
Then Fu Dog, Rotwood, Trixie, Spud, Sam, Tucker, Gramps, Rose, and Jake crawled over to the cringing body.
Meanwhile, Skulker couldn?t take much more and shot an ectoblast at the window, causing everyone to shield themselves from the sharp shards of glass.
?Tell the ghost boy if he?s still alive that the Hunt shall go on!? Right as he turned on his Jet Packs to leave, Spud threw a fork at him.
His machinery began to spark even though the useless weapon barely cause harm. It only infuriated Skulker even more. Good thing he didn?t stick around to spit out another nasty remark for he feared for his own safety and flew out the window.
Everyone then returned their attention to the Huntsmaster. His body was in pain and you could see the obvious turmoil going on inside of him. The group of friends began shaking the Huntsmaster, hoping that their friend Danny would come out alive an well with one of his many ghost-fighting puns.
As fast as the problem arose, it ended.
The Huntsmaster?s body was laid on the ground, but the sickly black glow did not cease. A figure began solidifying next to the Huntsmaster. It was Danny fading back into existance laying down peacefully, as if in a good night?s dream with absolutely no worries.
?Danny, wake up. Danny...? Sam had a tear in her eye. She didn?t know what happened to her boy - erm, friend, and really wanted him to wake up.
?Come on, man! We still got to beat Sam at that last level of Doom! Buddy...? He trailed off as well.
Fu Dog and Gramps shared a look of despair, as well as Trixie, Jake, and Rotwood.
None of them noticed the weak and limping form of the Huntsmaster creeping behind Jake and Gramps.
His black glow grew darker and more evil as he neared. When in arm?s length, he took out his two hands and placed them upon Jake and Gramps. They turned around too late.
Pain was surging through their forms as they flickered between Dragon and Human, then they too fell to the soft carpeting of the apartment.
Then the Huntsmaster collapsed again. Rotwood, Sam, Tucker, and Fu Dog were the only ones left unharmed.

Hey, Ectoenergy, if you don?t mind, I could take over the part 41 for you if you?re having a big writers block. Well, I want to help a buddy of mine, so I guess I could help you. Ok, here?s part 41 for you.
Part 41
Danny (In the Huntsmen?s body) ran behind Skulker. ?Well, dragons and kids, it?s time to put your heads in my trophy room.? He threatened them. ?EWWW!? Everyone said. ?Ew is right; get away from my friends!? Danny shouted and swung the Huntsmen?s stick at Skulker and he landed on the wall.
?WHOA, dude that?s so triple whack, you took over the Huntsmen!? Jake shouted surprised. ?Not?for?long.? Danny granted and he suddenly got catapulted out of the Huntsmen?s body.
?How did you do that?? Danny asked surprised. ?I have lots of great skills, ghost child, and now we finally have you and the American Dragon.? He said and Skulker shocked Danny and Jake at the same time and they passed out and they changed back.
Gramps, Fu Dog, Sam, Tucker, Trixie, and Spud ran for the door and made it, but they didn?t know that Danny and Jake weren?t following them so they ran back, but a thick door shut closed. Gramps try to melt the door down, but it was too thick.
Back inside, Danny and Jake woke up, with both of them inside a box. ?What the, what?s going on here, yo!? Jake shouted.
?I have no idea, but we?re getting out of here.? Danny said. ?I?m Going Ghost!? Danny shouted, but nothing happened. ?Going Ghost!? He repeated. ?I can?t change into Danny Phantom, your turn, Jake.?
?DRAGON UP!? Jake shouted, but nothing happened. ?Dragon?UP!? He repeated. ?I can?t change, either.?
Then, Skulker and The Huntsmen walked out of the shadow with Hunstgirl beside them. ?Very excellent questions, super children, this is the Technology that is neutralizing your powers, and now we can finally dissect you both and when you two are out of the way, we can capture and/or destroy ever ghost and magical creature existed.? Huntsmaster threatened.
?Our friends will come and find us and when they do, you guys are going down.? Danny threatened back. ?Oh really, Danny Phantom.? Skulker said with a creepy smile.
Keep going, your doing awesome. I love both shows, but I can't believe they ended. Maybe this FanFic should make them decide to bring them back.

Don't worry! You're AWESOME at fight scenes! (I'm not so good at them) *Nervous laugh*
I LOVE THIS FAN-FIC SOOO MUCH!! ITS AMAZING!!!!
And like I keep saying, you do each character PERFECTLY!!
I was kinda upset (Drawing... not really happy with my progress...)
But this fan-fic is just what I needed to cheer up! StarPaw,
Part 40: Put Your Battle Face On!
?Gramps! You?re okay!? Jake rushed to Gramps? side and gave him a hug, which he gratefully returned.
Jake?s grandfather was finally free of confinement thanks to the help of Tucker?s trusty PDA.
?All in a day?s work!? Tucker said, blowing on the steam that was escaping his PDA.
?Uh, Y?all, I ain?t got a clue about this, but I don? think that this is a great time to reunite!? Trixie screamed over the cascading barrage of explosions coming from the other side of the small apartment room where a grand battle was taking place.
There were broken plates and furnature covering every square inch of flooring; there was no room for landing. Especially when broken shards of glass were waiting for their next victim.
Danny was fighting Skulker and the Huntsmaster at the same time. They never took turns making their moves; instead each blast of energy sent to his foe was just blasted back into his face twenty times stronger.
Danny looked over to his group of friends ?Guys, I could use a little help over here!?
Spud was the first to respond: ?Sure thing, man! Nothing can beat other things like forks!?
?And knives!? Tucker added. The comic relief characters miraculously pulled out a dozen of their favorite eating utensils, ready to strike.
Trixie rolled her eyes. ?I should?ve known that was comin?.?
?Come on, Trixie! We got a Huntsmaster worth huntin?!? Jake said over the roaring of the room. He grabbed her (in his dragon form) and flew over to the action.
That left Sam and Gramps.
?So, uhh, ya want to-?
Gramps cut her off. ?Enough talk-FIGHT!? and they both joined the battle.
Tucker and Spud were-obviously-throwing kitchen utensils at Huntsmaster and Skulker. And, to an extent, decreased the amount of power the evil men had. (they were annoyed and decided to waste their power on a repelling shield).
The American Dragon was carrying Trixie while Gramps held Sam-both were using the weapons given to them by Rose. They turned out to be quite helpful.
Danny was giving the fight all he had-intangibility, flight, invisibility, ecto-rays, and everything else imaginable.
Then an idea struck him in the back of the head - literally. When Skulker had shot one of his mini-missiles to the back of his head, he realized that he could just overshadow the Huntsmaster! And Skulker listens to his collegue!
So Danny became invisible, floating for a few seconds to give the men the impression that he escaped. Then he became intangible and flew right into the Huntsmaster?s body.
But with so much power added to more power, there was sure to be promised destruction.
Thank you so much for your comment, StarPaw! I tried to make this chapter as long and action filled as I could, but I?m sorry to say that I?m not the best at writing action scenes...Anywho, I?m really glad I made this part because then we can get to the good stuff in the next chapter! It?s still in the processed of being typed, so don?t expect it to come out right away (Yeah...you guys probably already know that since I don?t update on a daily basis). As I say, ALL COMMENTS ARE AWESOME COMMENTS! Don?t be afraid to press the reply button!

Me: "What I think???.... Weeeelllll.....
IT'S SOOO AWESOME!! And you do each character PERFECTLY!! Danny, Sam, everyone, And Tucker! HAHA!! I loved when he tried to give Huntsgirl CPR.... I couldn't breath I was laughing!" XD *Faints from awesomeness*
Tucker: "YES!! IT'S MY SECOND CHANCE!" *Takes out breath spray*
Me: "I'M AWAKE!!"
Tucker: "Oh... Umm... hi..." *hides spray bottle behind back*
Me: (Cheerfully) "HEY TUCK!... Whats that behind your back?"
Tucker: "N-nothing...." *runs away*
Me: "Hmmm... wonder what got into him.... Oh well..." *Rushes to computer to read more* StarPaw,
Part 39: Tending to the Weak
"Hahahah!" Huntmaster's maniacal laughter filled the room. All of the children were huddled in the corner of the room; Sam and Tucker were tending to Danny's wounds. He was covered head to toe with cuts and bruises with some of his jumpsuit tattered. He had been knocked out from a missile to the head where there was a giant black scorch mark on the side of his face.
The three evil figures loomed over the heroes. Skulker and Huntsmaster were shoulder to shoulder inspecting the horrid damage they had inflicted while Huntsgirl (Who stood behind them) pulled something out of her boot unnoticed. Quickly and stealthily she removed six small cylindrical containers and slid them across the carpet flooring over to the huddled group.
"Awww, what a touching moment!" Skulker interrupted, "The Ghost-Boy needs help from his human girlfriend! How sweet!"
Sam looked up at Skulker's robotic face "We. Are. Not. Dating!" She said, jabbing a finger at him with each word.
Suddenly, a million things happened all at once. Danny's eyes zapped open, zooming around the room for an escape from the villainous plot. Sam spotted Huntsgirl (and knowing that she was on her side) who used her eyes to lead Sam to the supply of weapons on the floor. Jake stood up and flew over to the cage containing is beloved grandfather.
That's when it happened.
A sickening screech from the back of the room got everyone's attention.
While Skulker and Huntsmaster were distracted with the pitiful noise, Danny preformed a kick maneuver in his seated position that swept both Skulker and the Huntsmaster to the ground. Danny was not completely healed, but he did have enough energy to stand and fight.
Danny turned to the rest of the gang: "What are you all waiting for? Go help Jake! Tucker, go over to Ros-Huntsgirl!" he corrected himself.
Sam, Spud, and Trixie ran over to Jake and begun undoing all of the locks and combinations on the containment unit holding Gramps. They were very complicated and had to work together to finish each one.
During the time Danny was battling Skulker and Huntsmaster, and the others were setting Gramps free, Tucker rushed over to Rose's aid.
Her body lay on the ground, and Tucker being Tucker, he just had to assume the worst; or shall I say best?
He kneeled by her side and did something SO Tucker-like: he took out a spray can with "minty fresh!" on the front and sprayed it into his mouth twice.
"It looks like YOU need mouth-to-mouth resuscitation!" He said cooly.
"Seriously, Tucker?! You know you could just shake her awake!" Danny said from across the room as he was in hand to hand combat in mid-air against Skulker.
"Awwww man! I was really hoping that this would be my chance!" Tucker yelled.
Then Jake yelled across the room: "Awwwww Man! That's what I say!"
Ignoring the comment, Tucker simply shook the body of Rose awake. Soon her eyes zapped open. Realizing her surroundings, her and Tucker went over to the cell to help the group free Gramps.
Hope this is a long enough chapter for you guys! Let me know what you think! Remember, ALL COMMENTS ARE AWESOME COMMENTS! More parts coming soon!
-EctoEnergy
Your welcome, StarPaw!!!! And to all of you guys out there, I AM NOT GOING TO GIVE UP ON THIS FANFIC!! The weird thing is that I posted this chapter a week ago and when I came on to post another, I realized that it never posted! I feel so bad for not updating I hope that this makes up for it! Look forward to more chapters to come!
Part 38: Battle
Skulker pressed a button on the wall beside him and immediately the room transformed.
All of the pictures flipped over to reveal weapons, the dressers and cabinets flipped to reveal gym equipment, and the furniture flipped to be underneath the floor, and blue mats replaced where the dining table once was. Everywhere the gang looked there was some kind of hurtful device to be used on them.
Soon after the room was done transforming, all you could see was the tiniest bit of moonlight out of the window.
Jake gasped. Danny, Sam, Tucker, Fu Dog, Trixie, and Spud followed his gaze to the corner of the room right behind the three vicious people: a cage. Soon they all gasped.
"Jake...get yourself out! You must..."
"No! I am not goin' to let them keep you, Gramps!" Jake replied to the weak blue dragon in the cage.
The Huntsgirl narrowed her eyes, as did Skulker. They had both decided on who they were going to attack first and were off.
Rose, AKA the Huntsgirl, ran quickly along the side wall of the room with her arms and long braid trailing behind her. She then landed right in front of Trixie and Spud and began throwing fake punches to make her fight look believable to the Huntsmaster.
Skulker, on the other hand, stayed where he was and just started floating and shootin ectoblasts from his machines. He was targeting non-other than the ghost-boy and his accomplices.
"Seems like you actually needed some help hunting, huh, Skulker?" Danny teased.
"Never, Ghost Child. Now prepare to meet your doom!" Skulker aimed his arm at the halfa and shot three huge missiles all in a row, leaving Danny to swerve out of the way. He put on a detirmined face as he flew around the room dodging everything that was thrown at him; it wasn't unil the last missile that Danny was sent zooming against the wall.
Meanwhile Jake was battling one of the baddest men on the planet: Huntsmaster. Instead of shooting fire, the two people were in hand to hand combat. Each had the same amount of strength which made it just that much harder to beat eachother. Once Jake heard the "AAAHHH!" coming from the other side of the room, he quickly flew to Danny's aid, as well as the rest of the gang.
OH MY GOSH!!! OH MY GOSH, MY GOSH.... LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS SOOOO MUCH!!! CANT WAIT TIL THE OTHER PART!!!
*Ghostly wail of obsessed fandom* StarPaw,
Part 37: Peace Before Battle
Danny phased everyone into the wall of the place Jake said that Rose lived. While absorbing his clone and becoming Danny Fenton, his eyes wandered about the room, as did everybody else's. He didn't know what to think of the quiet and calm atmosphere.
Jake transformed into his human form (which earned a "yes, yes!! I am not crazy!" from Rotwood) and began scouting the area for any signs of Rose. Jake then sat down in a plush chair in the middle of the room; he was exhausted from not only the long flying trip but the long winded explanation to Danny, his friends, and Rotwood.
Sam, Tucker, Spud, and Trixie were on edge fully knowing that this was the home of one of the most dangerous beings on the planet. They mostly stayed where they were after being dropped off from the flight.
Fu Dog was on his hind paws, poking around some strange antiques.
"Man, for the Huntsmaster's home it isn't that evil of a place," he said as he stared at a snow globe on the mantle of a well-kept fire place.
"That's where you're wrong." All of the way on the other side of the room, a being stepped from the shadows. Her eyes showed pure hatred for the people before her, but Jake knew that she was only keeping up her identity.
Jake sprung up from the chair and transformed into his dragon mode while Danny transformed into Phantom and stepped up by Jake's side. Both assumed their fighting stances; Jake's claws formed into fists and Danny's green glowing gloved hands.
"And who are you?" Danny asked in a defiant tone.
Jake talked in the lowest whisper he could muster: "Dude, she's Rose; the person I talked to you about. Don't harm her too bad; she's on her side."
Danny just nodded, not even looking at his friend and kept up his acting role; you could nearly see the venom leaking out of his toxic green eyes.
Sam had the Fenton-wrist-rays at her hand and Tucker had the Fenton Lipstick; ready to fight back. Trixie and Spud were behind them for support and Fu Dog was underneath the table quivering; remembering what those horrible masked faces had done to him and Gramps.
"Just what everyone in my tribe wants. Our existence for millennia have been doing the same thing for years, and I intend to do the same to this Dragon-Boy over here, right Jake? That is your name, isn't it?" The feminine voice said. Rose was doing a wonderful role in manipulating her voice to sound vicious, when really she was protecting her group of friends. She swished her braid that was behind her Huntsclan mask.
Jake and the rest of the gang pretended to look stunned. Sam and Tucker lowered their weapons a bit to emphasize the shock while Danny lowered his glowing hands.
Another voice emitted from behind the shadows. This time it was masculine sounding. He was carrying a staff and in a very tribal looking costume. "Very good, very good, Huntsgirl. But I believe it's enough chit-chatting time, hmmm? Would you like to begin the training, or shall I say battle, Skulker?" The Huntsmaster looked to his right hand.
Another figure appeared out of thin air wearing a crooked gleeful smile on his face. "With pleasure."
I AM SO SORRY, YOU GUYS!!!! I had such a big writer's block, and then I went on a "Fan-fic Spree reading week." Just know that I am NEVER going to leave this story until it is DONE!!! I hope to update at least ONCE every week so that I don't leave you guys waiting for such a long time! Now that I have remembered this fan-fic, it is your turn to remember to COMMENT!! AS I SAY, ALL COMMENTS ARE AWESOME COMMENTS!!!! Until the next chapter!
-EctoEnergy
Me: "PROFESSOR ROTWOOD IS AWESOME!!!"
Rotwood: "Really? Me?!"
Me: "YEAAH!! YOU'RE MY FAVORITE CHARACTER IN AMERICAN DRAGON JAKE LONG!! Besides... you're accent it awesome!"
Rotwood: "Why thank you young lady."
Me: "CAN I BE IN YOUR CLASS?!?!"
Rotwood: "Of course!"
Me: "YAYAYAAYYY!! At least... AFTER WE READ MORE!!!"
Rotwood: "Yes... and hopefully I can capture the Ghost Creature and the Dragon Boy!!" StarPaw,
Part 36
"So, it is you!" Rotwood took another bite out of his snack. "Oh, that's good Shnitzel! HmmmmMMmm!" crumbs began covering his disguise, making him more noticeable to see.
Jake was already tiered and did not want to have to deal with his archenemy at this time. "Come on, Rotwood! I thought you gave this up already!"
"Contrare, fellow student!" his German accent heavy, "I am here for your little friend! He is not exactly a magical creature, but he would make a great lesson, don't you think?!" The happiness in his voice sickened Danny. If this guy were anything like Skulker, then he sure didn't want to deal with this man.
"Might as well take him with us, or else he will start going all crazy, huh?" one of the Danny's consulted with Jake.
"Sure, the more the marrier." Jake said sarcastically.
The Danny duplicate that had one of its arms open for a passenger flew over to the crazy man and picked him up. Now both of his hands were full.
Rotwood struggled against Danny's grip; he did not like being forced into a situation without his own permission. "What are you doing? Put me down this instant!"
By this time, Danny was already up over a thousand feet in the air, and Rotwood was not being very smart at this particular moment.
Both of the Danny's raised their eyebrows at the crazy man, and the Danny duplicate dropped him.
"AHHH!!! I take it back! I was not trying to capture you and become famous! I-I was only kidding! I only wanted the dragon-beast!" he protested.
"you aren't making this any easier on yourself." The duplicate Danny teased.
"I am sorry! Now save me!"
Danny waited until Rotwood was just a couple of inches within the concrete landing zone and saved Rotwood. As for Sam, she almost slipped out of his grasp because of his 112 mile per hour speed.
"Oh, thank you, kind ghost-being! What can I ever do to thank you?" he said innocently.
"Uhhh...stop hunting things?" Danny said. 'If only he were Skulker!' Danny thought.
"Okkie-dokie, then I guess you won't mind me taking THIS out!" he arm pulled out a massive video camera that was turned on and filming.
"What exactly are you supposed to be doing with that, Rotwood?" Jake asked.
"Why, Mr. Long I am capturing on tape two of the most magical creatures in the world!" he replied.
Then it was up to Spud to break to bad news to him once more: "Uh, Camera lens, dude."
"What?" Rotwood soon made the discovery, showing a distraught look upon his face.
"NOOOOOO!! I was so close! So close! Hey! What did you do?" Danny had disinigrated the camera before Rotwood would have a chance of filming him again by shooting a powerful ectoblast with his heated glare.
"Whoa! That was cool, man!" Jake said, astounded.
"Thanks," Danny said sheepishly, "now, uh, didn't we have one more stop to make?"
"Oh-yeah- Rose. Just follow me."
So the two Danny's along with Jake, Fu Dog, Sam, Tucker, Spud, Trixie, and sadly Professor Hans Rotwood took off to the last stop before the action began... little did they know that there would be a little more than just Rose there...
