As they arrived at Haneda Airport (Tokyo International Airport), the group were surprised and happy to see Fiyero and his circus at the airport as well. Kiara flew straight up to Ayumi again and nuzzled her. Ayumi laughed as she petted the ghost animal, happy to see her again.

"I'm glad to see you got here to Japan." Hana said, shaking Fiyero's hand.

Fiyero nodded and said, "We'll be over by your house this afternoon. We're preparing a parade through town before our performance for your father."

As they climbed into a limo, they found it strange that Hana's father Akinari Reiki wasn't at the airport. They immediately began heading to their home. They arrived at the large mansion, it had beautiful gardens, flowing streams with koi fish swimming around and a huge fountain in the middle of the driveway.

They all climbed out of the limo and noticed that everything seemed to be very quiet. Dani then said, "Something doesn't feel right."

Suddenly, a man with short black hair, golden eyes and wearing a black business suit came out on the balcony and looked down at them as he said, "Ah! Hana and Ayumi. Back from your travels already? You two must be exhausted, but I trust you are both well."

"Oh yes Mizuki. Thank you." Hana answered with a smile. "Everyone, this is Mizuki. He's my father's business advisor and second in charge of Reiki Industries."

Her smile then dropped as she asked, "But what's going on? Father didn't come to the airport to meet us?"

Mizuki didn't answer, but just continued to smile. A sense of uneasiness filled the air. Hana then asked, "Mizuki? Where is my father?"

Mizuki suddenly showed a cruel smirk as he answered, "You're father I'm afraid…..is dead!"

They all gasped in shock, but then suddenly a lot of men wearing black combat suits came out and surrounded them all. All of them pulled out their guns and weapons and held them ready at the group.

"Mizuki?! What are you doing?!" Hana called out.

Mizuki laughed and said, "I'm in charge now and there is no need for you Hana. Especially when we are finally ready to put our plans in motion."

With one more laugh, he then ordered the men, "Kill them all, but capture Ayumi! We need her alive!"

The men charged at them. Dani and Dale changed into their ghost forms, while Sonya and Jimmy pulled out their weapons.

"Hana, you and Ayumi get back in the limo!" Dani shouted.

Hana quickly pulled her daughter close and got back in the limo, the driver locking the doors. Dale started blasting back some of their attackers with ecto-blasts, Dani over shadowed one of them and began to fight some of them head on. Sonya fought with an ecto-bo staff and portable shield, deflecting the gun shots and hitting the men with her staff, trying to keep them away from the limo. Jimmy used the Fenton Fisher like a lasso, wrapped it around one of the men's hand and used the jetpack in his bag to spin around them, wrapping them up tightly.

Dale ordered the driver, "We'll hold them off! Drive that limo out of here now!"

The driver nodded and started the limo, driving off down the driveway but only to find the gate now blocked off by more of the men Mizuki hired to attack them. One of them began to hit the glass with the end of his sword and managed to smash the window open, Hana held her frightened daughter closer.

Suddenly six other men wearing black combat clothes, but they had a white lotus symbol on the back of their vests came out of the shadows and began to fight against the men surrounding the limo.

Mizuki recognised the brown haired man and called out in anger, "Haruto! You traitor! Kill him and his men as well!"

"I am no traitor! You're then one who is the traitor!" Haruto shouted back.

Team Phantom finally finished off their attackers and joined Haruto's side as they fought against the ones at the gate. Dale stood back to back with Haruto and punched the man who was about to attack him away.

"Thank you." Haruto said and then asked as he recognised Dale, "You're Dani and Dale Phantom aren't you? Along with two members of Team Phantom?"

"Yes. Hired by Hana to protect her and her daughter." Dale answered.

"I'm glad you're here." Haruto said with relief. "I'm afraid other introductions will have to wait. We need to get Hana and her daughter to the safe-house now."

"You lead and we'll follow." Dale said.

A military style car then rammed the gates opened. Haruto ordered his men, "Now men, disappear!"

One of them threw a large ball to the ground and the entire area was covered in smoke. When the smoke cleared, Team Phantom, Haruto and his men and Hana and Ayumi in the limo were nowhere to be seen.

On the road, Haruto drove the limo and Team Phantom were inside. Haruto then said, "Thank you for the help. I'm sorry that we couldn't send a warning to you in time."

"Where are we going?" Sonya asked. "And who are you guys?"

"My name is Haruto. My men and I work for Akinari as his personal security team." Haruto explained. "We're going to a safe house in Hinohara. Akinari had it built for emergencies just like this. Only he and my men know about it. We should be safe there until we figure out the next course of action."

"My father? Is he really….." Hana began to ask, dreading to finish her question.

"Your father is not dead." Haruto answered. "He was badly wounded and Mizuki thinks he's dead, but he's alive. Just very weak. Everything will be explained as soon as we get to the safe house."

About an hour later, they arrived at the safe house in a secluded area of Hinohara. When they got inside, Hana and Ayumi cried as they saw the state of their father / grandfather. He was lying down in his bed, hooked up to machines to help him breathe as he rested. His chest covered in bandages.

"What happened? I don't understand." Hana asked.

"There had been clashes of conflict between Akinari and Mizuki." Haruto began to explain. "Both of them had different ideas about the future of Reiki Industries. The major trouble began about four years ago, when we discovered that Mizuki had hired someone to kill your late husband Mrs Reiki."

Hana and Ayumi gasped at that revelation. Haruto continued, "It seems that your husband found out about their plans and they had to shut him up. It was only recently we discovered this and that Mizuki had been meeting up with a lot of scientists lately. We don't know what he's up to, but it was enough for your father and us to be suspicious. He wanted to try and figure out what Mizuki was planning, but he knew it'd be dangerous, so he sent you and your daughter for an international trip to keep you safe."

"That's why grandfather sent us on that trip?" Ayumi asked.

Haruto nodded and continued, "Once you two were safely out of the way, Akinari and us continued to investigate, but it was too late. Mizuki had hired a group of special mercenaries to begin his plan. We barely managed to escape in the nick of time, Akinari was badly wounded, but we managed to get him here and his team of private doctors have managed to save his life."

"Why do they want Ayumi?" Dani asked.

Haruto shook his head and answered, "We don't know. All we know, it has something to do with her gift. Akinari told us about her gift and we believe whatever Mizuki wants, it's a part of it."
