Tetra (me) - Hi guys! So before you get mad at me for starting another story, this is a co-write between me and my friend DarkWingedSoul. It was originally on her profile, but she was too lazy so it has been moved to my profile! I hope you guys like it, and you'll get to learn more about Death! Yay!

Death - Oh joy. Giving away my personal info.

Oh suck it up Death. Anyway, this one may or may not be updated regularly. I promise you right now that I AM working on SITA and Forsaken Soul, it's just taking a bit longer. Feel free to spam my PM box or review like crazy begging for updates (yeah right XD). Anyway, if you want to see info on how soon I may be updating, check out my deviant art. I'm DontSpeakOfTheAttic. Alright, enough rambling. Enjoy!

Disclaimer - Danny is not mine. Clockwork is not mine. Dark is not mine. (He belongs to DarkWingedSoul). Death, Reaper, and Luna are mine. ALL MINE. Oh, and the Akuma No Inu shares rights with DarkWingedSoul and I.

Chapter 1 - Falling…. Again

Dark's POV

I jumped through the portal, hoping I could lose the pack of bloodthirsty dogs behind me. Of course, as soon as jumped through the portal, I was falling towards the ground. Great. The fact that I don't have a concussion yet still amazes me. Then again, the fact that I'm alive and still in one piece is also quite amazing. I covered my head and hit the hard dirt below me. It hurt. After regaining my senses, I sat up and looked around. I was in what looked like a forest. It was a little clearing and laying a few feet away from me was one of the Akuma No Inu, and it was starting to get up. It looked over to me and stared for a moment, its black pupiless eyes showing the trees and sky behind me.

Unfortunately it also showed me. When an Akumu No Inu sees you that is not good. That usually means you are very close to being eaten alive. That is why I got up and ran in a random direction. This usually ends up lasting an hour or two depending on where I am. I looked behind me to see the terrifying excuse for an animal not too far behind me. I looked back ahead to see an old warehouse coming into view. Maybe I'll get lucky and lose the stupid thing in there. I picked up the pace and ran off the path, hoping to lose it at least a bit in the undergrowth. A few minutes later I found a way into the warehouse and started looking for a good place to hide. The stupid creature had lost me on the way here so I had maybe a minute or so before it got here. The warehouse was pretty big but it looked abandoned.

There was grass and weeds breaking through the old cement floor, and ivy covering a lot of the walls. There were broken shelves that held more boxes. I looked around a bit more and noticed some barrels. No barrels. They're to easy to get cornered. I was still looking for a place to hide when I heard some voices. Not good. For me or them. Hopefully they'll be gone by the time my friend gets here. To bad I won't be. There wasn't anywhere safe to hide but at least it should give me some extra time. Hoping the best for the people I had heard, I ran out of the old building, and back into the woods. It was calm for a few minutes. No running. No Akumu No Inu. Just the sound of the trees. Of course that didn't last long.

I heard something behind me and turned around just in time to dodge a set of jaws that had sharp teeth and poisonous saliva, ready to attack me whenever the chance was given. I started running again, knowing the damn thing was only a few feet away. There was a tree up ahead that had a branch that stuck out over the path. That's oddly convenient. I looked back to see the thing getting closer. I jumped and grabbed the branch, hoping it would hold my weight, and in one swift motion swung myself onto it and opened a portal back to Terrian in front of the still running Akuma No Inu. There was a moment of silence before I sighed. Half out of relief, and half out of exhaustion. Then I heard a voice.

"What the hell was that thing?" Great. Not only had someone seen that stupid creature, my three-second break was over. Why can't I just have a normal life. I looked down in the direction the voice had come. Standing beneath a tree was a girl who appeared to be a little older than me, and a boy of the same age. They were… glowing? The girl had long white hair streaked with green, dark green eyes, and a choker on. She wore a black spaghetti strap top with a dark green crescent moon in the center, black pants with two dark green upside down V's on each leg, and black boots.

The boy was wearing a black jumpsuit that with white gloves, boots, collar, and belt. There was a white symbol on his chest that was a P in a D. He had white hair and bright green eyes. Overall the two looked weird. Then again, compared to some of the other 'people' I've met in the other dimensions I've gone to they look perfectly normal. Unfortunately, something told me that I was wrong. Deciding to get this over with I jumped down but didn't go near them.

"That was a big mean dog." The girl raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, and we're Thing 1 and Thing 2. Try again." Thing 1 and 2? What? (SW - Aw… He doesn't know Dr. Seuss!) (DWS - Well he doesn't really go to any dimensions that have any of his stories and even when he does he's not there to read.-_-)

"Why?" She crossed her arms.

"Because if you or it are a threat than we have to take care of it." At these words ice formed in one of her hands, and the boy took out a… Thermos? I pointed at the thermos.

"You're threatening me with that? I get the ice but a thermos? The weather causes bigger problems than that." They shared a look, then busted out laughing, therefore confusing me further. This was just weird and I didn't have time for it. I turned around and started walking down the path. I was stopped, however, when the ground decided it wanted to defy all logic and turn into ice, which made me slip and hit my head. Once again, I am amazed that I have yet to obtain a concussion. I sat up and held my head. It hurt. A lot. I turned to the two. The girl was smirking, her hand out and glowing blue, and the boy had a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Just tell us who you are, and we'll leave you alone," he said. I sighed.

"I am no one of any importance to you. I don't know why you want to know who I am, but anybody who's ever wanted to know in the past was just bad news, so I'm going to leave now." Despite my hate of the power, I heated my hand and put it to the ice, melting it. I stood, about to leave, when I saw the boy raise his hand, and a glowing green substance was shot at me, binding my feet. Another was shot at my hands as I fell, once again banging my head. Again! The stuff was like glowing green rope, and I couldn't get it off. I sat up and shook my hair out of my face then glared, now pissed at the two.

"What the Hell do you want?" The boy narrowed his eyes.

"We told you already, we need to know who you are, and if you or that thing are of any threat to our town. Then you can go." This is so annoying.

"That thing is not a threat. As you saw it is not here. How in this world it could be a threat to you now is beyond me. I am not a threat either. But if you don't get this stuff off I'm going to be." The girl narrowed her eyes and was about to speak, when a familiar blue clock-like portal appeared, pulling us all through. Through the portal I was met with the sound of voices.

"Reaper, why the hell did you drag me here in the first place?"

"Quiet child, you shall learn of our intentions soon enough."

"Dammit Reaper. You and Clockwork are too damn similar." The portal ended and I fell out, landing on somebody. I know this because it has happened on many occasions…. Don't ask. The person shoved me off. "Get the hell off of me." I sat back up, having to shake my hair out my face again. I need to cut it. I looked up to him.

He had shaggy, dark brown hair, blood-red eyes, and fangs. His eyes were oddly similar to those back in Terrian. He wore a Metallica t-shirt, black ripped jeans, and black combat boots. Around his neck was a silver scythe charm on a chain.

"Sorry. Kind of hard to control where I fall when I'm randomly sucked into a portal and don't really have the ability to move much." At that I raised my still restrained hands and glared at the other two who had, unfortunately, also gone through the portal. He raised an eyebrow then glanced to the other two, a grin on his face.

"Luna, was that you or Danny?" The girl chuckled, pointing to the boy.

"He did it!" The guy I fell on laughed and looked at me.

"Have fun trying to get that off." I sighed trying to calm down before I ended up doing anything stupid.

"You seem to know what it is. Maybe you could help me out?" He shook his head, standing up.

"Nah, don't think so. Hey stopwatch!" He said, looking towards a blue skinned ghost in a purple cloak, Clockwork. "Is this kid the reason you brought me here? It's obvious he's not from this dimension." Jeez, he sure sounds thrilled. I feel so welcome here. Clockwork sighed.

"Kade, you must be patient. We have brought you all here for a reason." I looked over to him. Kade glared.

"That is NOT my name. My name is Death, you know this, oh Master Of Time." Death? Clockwork ignored him. I looked back to Clockwork.

"Does that mean I have to stay here? With them?" I asked. He gave me a pointed look.

"Yes Alec. And Daniel, could you please remove his restraints?" At his words I noticed the Death guy got a strange and pained look on his face, but quickly masked it. I groaned and let myself fall back to the floor and stared at the very far away ceiling.

"My name isn't Alec!" Clockwork then ignored me as usual, and the white-haired boy he called Daniel came forward, getting rid of the weird rope like things. An old man standing near Clockwork moved forward.

"Now that the issue has been settled, perhaps you should all introduce yourselves and greet each other like sensible beings." I saw Death groan, and the girl rolled her eyes and I sat up. The white-haired boy just sighed and looked down at me.

"Danny Phantom, ghost protector of Amity Park." The girl glanced at him for a moment before turning to me.

"Luna Spirit, the other ghost protector of Amity Park." Death came up.

"As I said earlier, I'm Death. Apprentice to the Grim Reaper, who happens to be cheerful guy over there." I turned my head to look at the old man, who sighed.

"Yes, I am the Grim Reaper, but please, I am known as simply Reaper. My greetings to you child." Well. His speech annoys me. I bowed my head slightly, memories of my childhood teachings starting to kick in.

"Pleasure to meet you as well sir." I glared at Annoying 1 and Annoying 2. "As for the two I met earlier, not so much." I looked over to the Death guy.

"Sorry for falling on you." Then I looked to Clockwork. "Can I leave now?" Yes I know. I'm acting like a child. But I don't really like being around other people. I already have to deal with one annoying smart ass which has been abnormally quiet. Clockwork sighed.

"No. You must stay, all of you." The way he stressed the word 'all' told me something. Mr. Annoying Smartass was involved too. I sighed. At least he's being quiet. Actually, that's probably a bad thing. Meh. I'll worry about him later. I looked back to the others, who all looked resigned. Well, the annoying ones did. Death looked pissed off, but oh well. Clockwork cleared his throat, looking at the two ghosts. "Daniel, Alexa, he needs to know." The two sighed, seeming to have a silent conversation before reluctantly nodding. Then they spoke in unison.

"Actually, we're halfas." Okay. That was creepy. Two bright rings appeared at their waists. Dark green for Luna, whitish blue for Danny. The split and traveled along the two changing their girl's hair and eyes turned brown, a crescent moon necklace replacing the choker. Her shirt turned camo, her pants becoming ripped blue jeans, a black belt diagonal across. She wore sneakers.

The boy's hair turned black, his eyes blue. His shirt was white with red edges on the sleeves, a red oval in the middle. He had on blue jeans and red and white converse. They looked at me.

"I'm Luna Spearum," said the girl.

"And I'm Danny Fenton," said the boy. Wow. That was unexpected. I looked to Clockwork, asking the obvious question.

"I don't get it. Why'd you call us all here?" Reaper answered.

"A threat is coming, and you all shall be required to stop it." Oh great. Threats. My favorite. Clockwork nodded.

"To prepare, you and Kade shall be given a place to stay in the human realm." Oh no. That is not going to work. I took a step towards Clockwork.

"Clockwork I can't do that and you know it." He shook his head.

"You shall be protected here."

"Like Hell. What's here that's going to protect me?" He gestured to the other three teenagers.

"They can. And I believe you have another resource as well." I sighed.

"Clockwork that makes no difference." He sighed.

"Alec you will be fine. Now, you will all need to be prepared, and learn to trust each other. I shall teleport you to where Kade and Alec will be staying." Oh gods he is pushing it. He's asking me to be with these guys, in one place, live with the dead guy, and to trust them all. I will admit, I have severe trust issues.

"Clockwork?" He sighed.

"Whether my sanity is stable is none of your concern Alec." Wow. He's good. A blue portal opened and we all went through, some of us a bit portal opened and I fell out beside the others and hit my head against a coffee table.

"Smooth move ex-lax," said Death. Um. I'm not even going to ask. I sat up and rubbed the back of my head and glared at him.

"Thanks." I looked around. There was a T.V., two couches, and a shelf that had some books, movies, and video games. Then there was that coffee table. Damn table. I stood up and looked towards the back. There was a bar that led to the kitchen and a hall that probably led to the bedrooms. I glanced once more at the three, who were also looking around. Danny whistled.

"Nice place." The others nodded and I walked down the hallway. There were two doors on the right side and three on the left. The two doors on the right had envelopes taped to them with names in cursive on them. The one to the back had mine. I grabbed it and opened the door, opening and reading it as I did. There wasn't much. Just Clockwork noting a few things like to be nice, try to get along, and…. take the pills? I looked at the nightstand by the bed. Sitting on it was a little bottle and a piece of paper that looked like a prescription. I sighed and opened it, letting a few pills fall out.

Ha! You're a druggie. Oh great. Smartass is back.

Smart ass? You have no room to talk. So, you gonna take the pills like Stopwatch said?

No. What makes you think I would take them?

Oh I don't know. Maybe the fact that you need them.

Do not.

Yes you do. Now shut up and take them.

If you quit bugging me maybe I will later. He sighed.

Your call kid. Then he stopped. I sighed and looked around the room. There was a dresser across from to the bed that had a mirror and a bunch of drawers. I walked over and looked in them, avoiding the mirror. I knew what I would see. I was a mess and I knew it. I'd just have to take a shower when I got the chance. The drawers had some clothes in them. Jeans, long-sleeved black shirts, and a few black hoodies. I closed the drawers and went back over to the bed and flopped down on it. It had been a while since I had laid on an actual bed. I missed it. I had been laying there for a while when I heard a voice.

"So you need sleeping pills?" I groaned. Thanks Clockwork.

So did ya like it? Let us know in the reviews, unless you'd rather PM. But I'd PM me, cuz DarkWingedSoul doesn't check her inbox the lazy butt. Anyway, let us know! Trivia time.

What is the name of first episode in which the ghost dog appears?

Peace,

Tetra and Piper (AKA DarkWingedSoul)
