Hello one and all and welcome to my little sequel to Personify: Into the Mind.

Some people showed some interest in having a sequel made for my past little oneshot, so here it is. I hope you like it like you did the one before.

Similarly to how the last short story was, there won't be as much detail as my longer stories like Pondus Omnium. This story is pre-written / complete and will be five chapters long. I'll post each chapter every other day.

Lastly: This story is rated T and will mention torture. The torture will not be directly described, but I like to give proper warning.

Alright, that's it, let's begin!


A man grumbled in dissatisfaction as his eyes lingered over some of the people in the warehouse, whom were merely milling about or sitting. This is what was left of the GiW after that kid had changed everyone's views on ghosts and hybrids. The main entity had tried to reform itself but failed due to simply having been completely built from the ground up to hunt and experiment on ghosts. Then again the GiW had never been very big as it was mostly focused on Amity Park seeing as it was where most or nearly ninth-six percent of all ghostly activity originated from at present.

Agent M, the leader of the GiW had gracefully disbanded the group after being ordered to do so. So many were able to put it all behind them and some were even glad to find out that ghosts were indeed capable of feeling pain before things had gone too far. Many of them had found new jobs and had new doors open for them. Not all though.

The group was small now and consisted of Agents O and K, who seemed confused as to what to do with their lives since ghosts were off limits legally, Vid, Thrash, and Download, who'd just started the training program for the agency when it had been shut down and were thirsting for the action they'd been denied, and himself… Agent Omega. None of them knew his identity because he wore a similar outfit to that of a certain Red Huntress, with the exception that it was completely black and fit a male figure. Instead of a board, he had jets in pockets on his back and calves that allowed him propulsion; he also had his own invisibility and intangibility suit prototype built into his armor.

What would they do now? More importantly, what would he do now. He'd been a bounty hunter before but had grown tired with how easy it was for him to capture humans; ghosts had been the next natural step for him and he would've gotten his chance to try and hunt the elusive ghost child, Danny Phantom. Not any more.

He clenched his fist in frustration until a thought came to his mind. Of course it would mean he'd become a criminal, but it would've been only a matter of time before doing things illegally would've become his next natural step…

A hidden smile came to Omega's face. It would take some disposable pawns, a willing shady scientist or two, and patience, but Omega would get to have his hunt, his bounty, and his revenge all in one. The best part of it all? The world knew now why Phantom had been so hard to catch… after all, who would hunt a young human?

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have a proposition," Omega spoke up.

Agent O and K looked at each other and then Omega, while Vid, Thrash, and Download simply looked irritated. Omega leaned back in the chair he was sitting in and his posture made Download smile greedily in anticipation, followed by Thrash and Vid.

"How about we visit our dear hero, Danny Phantom?"

zzz

"So wait, what happened next?"

"Well Sam showed me and Tucker a cool cheat code and we were able to trap Tenchus in level Zero for a while."

"That's so cool."

Danny smiled in slight embarrassment as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Well I mean, technically Sam was the one that took care of him. Me and Tuck shoulda listened sooner."

Sam perked up beside her boyfriend; yep that had happened since the bizarre and enlightening trip into Danny's mind, as well as other things.

"Thanks, Danny."

Danny smiled at her as she wore his red jacket, no not a letterman jacket, but one of his own that he'd gotten into the habit of wearing recently. Most of the time, it hid the newest scar on his upper arm that Skulker had given him a few days ago.

The trio were at a table in the lunchroom, completely surrounded by students of all kinds. Paulina was sitting across from them and trying to avoid looking like she was mind molesting the ghost boy in front of her and Dash was leaning on the table in excitement, every time Danny told a new story.

As time had passed, all the students had really gotten to know each other better. Though everyone would always be themselves, there was no more bullying and most everyone was at least civil and cared about one another to some degree. Maybe having close contact with harsh truths does that to people.

Tucker noticed Star and Valerie approaching and waggled his eyebrows. "Hey there."

Star shook her head in amusement. "Oh quit it, Foley." She sat next to him gracefully while Valerie seemed to hesitate, looking at Danny instead, who hadn't as of yet noticed her arrival.

Eventually his eyes found hers and she flinched before a content smile blossomed on his face. "You going to stand and eat?"

Valerie smiled in awkward relief before taking her place beside Star. Danny gave her one last, slightly worried look before turning to answer another question someone had about the Ghost Zone. It had seemed that Valerie had been upset ever since she'd found out that she'd been hunting the boy she once loved. He had been slowly trying to get her to accept that he'd truly and fully forgiven her and in fact had never blamed her, but Valerie was stubborn as he knew all too well.

Danny was in the midst of telling everyone more about the Fright Knight and his lair, as well as the Soul Shredder when a burst of blue fog escaped his mouth. A quick glance at the windows told him and everyone there what they needed to know.

The Fight Knight and all his ghostly glory sat a top his mount, who reared dramatically.

"Speak of the devil," Danny muttered.

"Yipe! Isn't that the Fright Knight?" Dash questioned as the knight brought back his sword.

Danny's eyes widened before he shouted. "GET DOWN!"

Everyone didn't question him and hit the deck, just as a blade of pure ecto-energy sliced through the windows, causing them to explode into a shower of shards. The blade continued before it struck the back wall, after going over Dash, and was destroyed.

Danny transformed quickly as he shouted above the knight's dark laughter and his mount's tortured cries. "Everyone get out! Don't let those blades of energy touch you. Not only do they slice, but they'll send you into your own living nightmare!"

Everyone but Sam, Tucker, and Valerie bolted at that, as the three later ducked down where Danny was hiding and trying to come up with a plan since the knight was still firing energy blades at the building.

"He can project the Soul Shredder's power now?!" Tucker exclaimed in exasperation.

"Yeah, found that out not to long ago. Frostbite said it had something to do with him not having to be loyal to any master since Vlad was arrested. His powers become more reckless and powerful while he's not bowing to a master," Danny explained before throwing up a shield to prevent one blade from slicing right through the table they were behind.

"What's the plan then?" Valerie asked.

Sam raised a brow. "You're going to listen… to us?"

Valerie furrowed her brows in slight irritation. "Look, we both want the same thing, to stop evil ghosts, right?"

Sam continued to look as Danny tried to pay attention while carefully eying the rampaging specter.

"I know I've screwed up in the past."

"A lot."

Valerie deadpanned. "Yes. A lot. Anyways, I want to help you guys more."

"What if you decide to do your own thing. Do have any idea how complicated the government of the Ghost Zone is? Who our allies are? Are you willing to accept them as friends too?"

Valerie closed her mouth with a click. After a moment she nodded. "Yes, I'm ready to do that."

Sam continued to eye her with slight distrust.

"Come on Sam. I think she means it," Tucker piped up.

Sam looked at her friend and then her boyfriend, who grimaced from another blow to yet one more shield he'd produced before he nodded his consent.

"Fine, welcome to the team."

Valerie gave a gentle smile before nodding to the Fright Knight. "So what do we do about tall, dark, and creepy?"

"Think you could speed off to find a pumpkin if I provide cover for you?" Danny asked.

Valerie rose a brow. "A pumpkin? Actually never mind. Yeah I can do that."

"Good, GO!" Danny snapped and then shot out from behind the temporary shield dipping and dodging the new attacks sent his way. Valerie leapt into the air as her suit formed around her and Sam and Tucker found even better cover before starting to provide support to Danny as he fought.

Danny yelped as he changed the shape of his body by cutting himself in half to avoid a swipe of the Soul Shredder to his gut. "Geez pal, what's got your panties in a bunch? Mad that the stores replaced the Halloween decorations with Christmas ones already?"

The knight let out an inhuman growl of irritation as he maneuvered his mount to try and have it kick Danny. Danny turned intangible and flew a safe distance before rapidly firing a beam of ecto-energy at Nightmare's side. Nightmare faltered slightly and a well aimed secondary blast from Tucker's Wrist-ray knocked the Fright Knight off his mount. The knight went sailing into a tree loosing his grip on his blade. Danny dove in to grab the sword.

"Yes!"

He gasped. "Oh no." Just as a cloud of bats appeared in front of him, signaling the knight finishing his teleportation. A fist connected with Danny's face and the teen crashed into the ground, making the blade tumble away once more. The knight bared down on Danny and he grasped the young man's forearm forcefully. Danny cried out in pain as he felt the Fright Knight's pyro-kinetic power work to burn through his hazmat suit and skin beneath.

"Fool! You dare continue mocking my honor and halting my conquest. I have had enough! You will suffer for you're actions, knave!" The knight reached forward with his other hand to touch Danny's face. Danny grimaced before throwing his other hand up to lock his fist with the ghost. He bit back a whimper when his hand started to burn, but at least he'd avoided being branded on the face by the fiend for now.

"To cease the storm, to end the fear, the sword must sheath in pumpkin near!"

The Fright Knight whipped his head up to lock eyes with Valerie, Sam, and Tucker just as Sam thrust the Soul Shredder into the pumpkin, Valerie had arrived with.

"NOOOOOOO!" With that last wail of defeat, the knight, his mount, and the sword were sucked back into the Ghost Zone.

The other three ran over to Danny as he kneeled and nursed his burnt hand. Sam accidentally grabbed his other burnt forearm and he hissed in pain.

"Oh sorry!" Sam grimaced in worry before she pulled out some pre-treated gauze from her backpack. She started to wrap the wounds as they heard a groan of wood, brick and building supports. The school was collapsing.

"Oh snap," Tucker murmured as Danny turned back into Fenton and ran with his friends to get to the front of the school. A large crowd had formed and Lancer spotted them, which seemed to immensely ease the worry that had been on his face.

"Is everyone accounted for!?" Someone called out, interrupting whatever it was that Lancer had planned to say to them.

"Larry! Larry the janitor isn't here! Anyone know if he was off work today?!"

"Not according to attendance lists this morning!"

Lancer and Danny's friends noticed Danny's body tense.

"Danie-" Lancer didn't even get to say a word before Danny had transformed and shot towards the straining structure.

Some of the students gasped in worry as the town hero and their fellow student dove intangibly into the building. They waited for a good several intense minutes before the side of the structure made a loud cracking noise, most likely support beams, and started to crumble. The damage from the Fright Knight's energy blades had done too much damage.

After another silence, Sam was about to start running towards the half-destroyed building before a couple of intangible forms slid out from the earth amongst the citizens and students that had gathered. Danny dropped his power and Larry the janitor wobbled a bit from the effects.

"Son, you saved my life," Larry finally spoke up and Danny smiled a bit drowsily at the man.

"That's what heroes do, right?" Danny asked as the light of his transformation rings slid up and down his body, changing him to Fenton. Sam and Tucker caught him before he could slip to the ground.

"Whoa there, big guy. What got you so tired so quick?" Tucker asked.

"Healing is… starting to take… over…" Danny murmured.

It was by then that a cheer erupted from all the people there. Before Danny let his body rest, before his sister pushed through the crowd to ask him a million questions, and before his parents arrived in the RV, Danny could've sworn he saw the flash of a lens in the deep brush nearby. He was tired though and it was probably just another creepy fan or paparazzi photographer.


So what do you think so far? Does the plot seem interesting? I want to know if you want more :)
