Lifeless
Strange how one massive fireball of highly combustible condiments can ruin your whole future.
"Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in and breathe out" were his simple thoughts as he felt the harsh shallow breathes of air Plunge into his lungs. He stared vacantly out into space for his mind was elsewhere in happier times when life was simple. His eyes closed in pain and he choked back a small sob of despair. A rather loud click sounded out and he snapped his eyes open and gazed at the creator of the noise. The 40-Year-old man met his broken blue gaze and sent a small sympathetic smile at him. Vlad continued to snap the heavy clasps around his wrists and ankles securely restraining him to the solid metal table. Vlad sighed as he finished his work and cleared his throat.
"Daniel…" he started "Are you absolutely sure this is what you want me to do? It is sure to be painful…" Vlad trailed off. Danny's tear stricken crystal blue eyes looked into his own indigo ones. Danny slowly nodded his head in confirmation and looked away into space again. Vlad sighed sadly and walked over to a silver table laden with many interesting and unique gadgets. He picked up a large pair of metal gloves and placed them onto his hands. Vlad turned around and took a deep breath. He turned back to Danny and picked up the anaesthetic mask that lay nest to him and placed it on his face.
Danny's weary eyes floated shut into a peaceful dreamless sleep. Vlad activated the Gauntlets and long needle sharp claws extended out of the end of the metallic fingers. Vlad held the lethal gloves up before him before plunging the claws into Danny's chest.
Four hours of meticulous surgery later Vlad found what he was searching for. He carefully began to pull at the ethereal strings that attached Danny's two halves together. The strings snapped as he gently pulled out Danny's alter ego. Vlad stared in wonderment at the wispy transparent creature that was once part of Danny. He carefully laid the wraithlike creature on another operating table and turned the anaesthetic off and sat patiently for the two to wake up.
The human Danny stirred first with a slight groan. He shifted and snapped his eyes open. He stared dismally at the poorly lit ceiling and whispered "It didn't work…" He slowly and painfully raised himself to a sitting position and hung his head to his aching chest. Vlad sat down beside him and cautiously patted his shoulder.
A low moan of pain sounded from the glowing figure on the other table. Phantom sat up abruptly and turned to glare fiercely at the duo. His green eyes glinted malevolently as he snarled out "You! You did this to me!" He floated above the gleaming table and raced towards Vlad, striking him forcefully in the centre of his chest. Vlad crashed off of the table and landed heavily upon the floor. The Gauntlets flew from his hands and landed several feet away from him. As Vlad was recovering from having all the air pushed out of his lungs Phantom grinned at the gauntlets. He swooped towards them and snatched them up. His malevolent gaze turned towards the almost recovered Vlad. Phantom snapped "This is for torturing me!" Phantom flew over to the slow reacting Vlad and sliced the claws through Vlad, swiping them through his entire body until they snagged Vlad's ghost form and ripped it viciously from his already bruised body.
Plasmious floated limply in the air attempting to recover from the traumatic shock of being forcibly removed from his body. While he hung there Phantom gained a brilliant idea. Phantom quickly built up speed flying around the lab several times before aiming at Plasmious and entered his body with force.
Meanwhile Danny had crawled over to Vlad and helped him get under cover from their attacker. He had dragged Vlad under one of the metal tables and made sure he was all right before checking out what was happening to Phantom. He stared in confusion as Phantom started to twitch violently and fell to the floor. As he twitched he grabbed his head with his hands and began to scream bloody murder. An unusual transformation began to take place, phantom's skin started to turn a light shade of blue, his ears became pointed, and his once vibrant green eyes morphed into a deep sickening red. Phantom scrunched over in pain, still yelling in agony. His canine teeth had changed into two jagged fangs and a forked tongue flicked between them, and his agile fingers had claws. The last and possibly the most frightening change of all was his hair. The once slightly messy white hairdo had altered into a mass of white fire; the flames flickered up and burned brightly.
Moments after his gruesome transformation Phantom looked up, Bloody eyes meet crystal blue and both halves stared at one another. Phantom's malicious grin reformed on his face as he stared at is incredibly weak counterpart. Danny seeing his evil smile stood up and began to back away from Phantom.
Phantom lunged at Danny and crunched him into a wall. Phantom left Danny little time to recover from this brutal assault and grabbed his shirt, flipped him over and threw him into the wall at the opposite end of the lab. A sickening crunch emanated from Danny's right leg as it collided with the dull metal wall. Danny did his best to get up and limp to the weapons table. Danny never got to it in time. Phantom noticed his attempt at fighting back and sent a large red ectoplasmic blast at his back. Danny twisted just in time to see the deadly blast coming and dodged partially out of the way. The blast crashed into his side badly burning it.
Danny let out a startled cry of pain as he crashed to the ground clutching his heavily bleeding wound. Phantom Laughed as he saw Danny struggle to get up only to be hit in the middle of his back with an ectogun shot. He twirled around in mid air to come face to face with his assailant. Vlad was aiming the still smoking gun at Phantom preparing to loose another shot at the powerful ghost. Phantom only smirked at the sad attempt to harm him and powered up another blood red ectoblast more powerful then the one he had hit Danny with earlier and flung it at Vlad with incredible force. It hit Vlad's head dead on and knocked him unconscious.
Phantom turned back to Danny who had managed to make it to the weapons table and dived at him and grabbed Danny by his throat. Phantom knocked the ectogun out of Danny's Hand and proceeded to tear and swipe at him with his claws. A particularly powerful scratch caught Danny's left eye and tore from the top of his eyebrow down to slightly underneath his chin. His wince of pain and small yelp made Phantom laugh and he continued to maim Danny with more force. He left a deep gash down Danny's right arm from just below his shoulder to his wrist and sliced a large T into Danny's chest like a mortician would. The Top part of the T stretched from shoulder to shoulder crossing over both collar bones, the vertical part stretched down from the upper cut to his hipbones. Phantom exuberantly enjoying the incredible amount of blood that had splattered from Danny continued on with his thrashing, until Danny fell limp from exhaustion and blood loss from his numerable gashes and multiple broken bones.
Phantom knew exactly how he wanted to end his former half's life- with the bloodiest way possible. He bend Danny's head back exposing his fragile throat -which had miraculously stayed untouched during his beating- and found his jugular vein. With an animalistic grin he gouged out the important vein and watched with sickening fascination as the last of Danny's life giving blood spurted out of the mangled vein.
A quiet moan escaped Vlad lips as he raised his heavily bleeding head from the ground. He sat up slowly and carefully and began to look for the vile demon that had done this much damage to him. He spotted Phantom standing over a large pool of blood chuckling happily. Vlad's heart plummeted as he realized whom the blood belonged to. He let out a loud sob of despair that brought the murderers attention to him.
Phantom gave a laugh when he saw he had another 'playmate' to mangle. Vlad realized Phantoms thoughts and dove for his dropped ectogun. He let out a powerful shot at the vile ghost in an attempt to hold him off. The agile ghoul dodged past the bullet and swiped the ectogun out of Vlad's hands. Phantom took a moment to examine the weapon in him hands before disintegrating it in a ball of ectofire. Phantoms never ending mad smile grew wider as he grabbed hold of Vlad's left arm and slowly began twisting it until the splintering sound of the bone breaking was heard. Phantom dropped the now useless arm as Vlad gasped in agony and winced away from the spectre.
Without warning Phantoms ghost sense was set off, the twin streaks of red smoke drifted out of his nose. His smile dropped as he shifted around to look at the mangled corpse that was once Danny. A strange glowing blue light began to rise from the body. It grew larger and began to take shape as it hovered above the blood soaked ground. A gasp came from Vlad as it morphed into a pale, scar covered teen with silky black hair and glowing blue eyes. He whispered "Daniel?"
