"So this is where it happened then?" A blue skinned ghost asked, gesturing to the swirling green portal with a black clad hand. The white haired ghost next to him nodded, neon green eyes distant. "Daniel...what-"
"Phantom. Just Phantom now." The younger one interrupted, choking slightly on his words.
"Phantom then. It's been...half a decade. Why show me this now?" The elder asked. Phantom took a step towards the portal, bypassing rubble without a second thought. "I would understand if it were perhaps the anniversary of-"
"SHUT IT PLASMIUS!" Phantom shouted, green absorbing his eyes. Plasmius held up his hands, floating forward, cape flapping slightly in the wind. The blue ghost double checked his pink shield, worried about what remained of the roof caving in on them. Not that it would matter. He and Phantom were not like anyone else, and as such, could survive much more than the average human, or ghost. Things such as a portal flare that had wiped out all life within a twenty mile radius. He placed a hand on Phantom's shoulder, pulling him into a hug. Phantom sobbed, gripping onto his white suit as if it were the only thing keeping him grounded. "They were all right in front of me Vlad..." Plasmius' grip tightened. In the 5 years Danny had lived with him, never had he once mentioned that he had seen his friends and family die. "Sam and Jazz, they knew what was happening, and reached out for me. Dad...he grabbed Mom...told her that he loved her." Tears rolled down the young halfa's face, reaching the ground as snowflakes. "Tuck and Dash...they didn't know what was coming. I can remember the other girls screaming...and Dani...she reacted quicker than me, but she wasn't strong enough."
"Dani was there?" Plasmius whispered in horror. The failed clone with a mind of her own had eluded him expertly when all he had wanted to do was apologize.
"We were all so excited to be graduating...If I had just been as quick as Dani, I could have saved them." A hiccup escaped Phantom. "No one will know! We were all just small town nobodies, hoping for a chance to be seen in the world, and now everyone is dead! NO ONE KNOWS!" Plasmius held onto Phantom as the young man twisted and kicked in frustration.
"I'll...I'll let the world know." Phantom stilled. "A memorial, I have companies all over the world. You have my word." Phantom carefully extracted himself from his guardian's embrace.
"There is a scrapbook, under my bed. It will tell you everything you need to know." Phantom said. Two white rings sprang forth from his middle, causing his black hazmat suit to disappear. Red eyes widened in disbelief.
"Daniel, have you eaten at all this past week?" Plasmius exclaimed, his own black rings springing out to change him back into his human half. Danny's black hair was almost grey from lack of upkeep, the bags under his eyes a dark contrast to his fogged over ice blue eyes.
"Had to," Danny wheezed, skin like fine porcelain, pale and breakable. "make sure I didn't have strength to speed heal." Worry filled Vlad's cobalt eyes. Too late he noticed the glint of sharp metal, and suddenly Danny's white shirt was quickly becoming red. With his last bit of strength Danny pulled the knife out and fell to his knees, a serene smile on his face.
"DANIEL!"

"Look at him...that's a Fenton right there!" Blue eyes shone with respect. He smiled. Something soft touched his cheek and for the first time he saw purple...and it was beautiful.
"I think I`ll call him Danny."
"I thought we agreed that was a dumb name."
"I`ve changed my mind. He is a Danny. Danny, Danny, Danny." He gave a small gurgle and for the first time he heard laughter.
( / ) ( / ) ( / ) ( / )
"Where is my brother!" Laughter again, he decided he rather liked that sound. "Oh, he is so small."
"We've named him Danny." He was being shifted. Then he saw teal, it was comforting.
"I love you Danny."
( / ) ( / ) ( / ) ( / )
"Hey! You're in my seat!" Danny looked up wide eyed. His first day in actual school and he'd already messed up. He should have begged more to continue being homeschooled.
"Does it have your name on it? Oh that's right, I forgot you still can't spell!" said a girl from behind him. The blond in front of him glowered and stomped away. Danny turned around to see two kids approaching him. The girl was wearing black pants, like a boy would, which he thought was pretty cool. The African American boy next to her was wearing tan shorts and a yellow polo.
"Thanks." Danny blurted, blushing red.
"Forget about Dash." The girl said, sweeping her black hair out of the way so she would not sit on it. "I'm Sam." She held out a hand. Danny shook it.
"Danny." Her eyes were purple, and it was beautiful.
"The nerd to your right is Tuck. He's in the middle of a battle right now. He's almost won twice now." Danny peered over the boy's shoulder .
"Double B, A." Tuck hesitated only a moment but did what Danny had said. He gave a holler of joy and hugged the raven haired new kid.
"Hello new best friend!" he cheered, receiving a smack from Sam. Tuck laughed. "New boy best friend." He corrected. His teal eyes crinkled with happiness behind his glasses. It was comforting.
( / ) ( / ) ( / ) ( / )
"Going ghost." Danny whispered. His reflection changed and he gasped. It hadn't been a dream then. He really was part ghost. Snowy white hair and a black and white hazmat. He looked like a superhero. He smirked and straightened his posture, hands on his hips. Green eyes, playful and determined gazed back at him. He liked it.
( / ) ( / ) ( / ) ( / )
" Knock, knock. Anyone in there?" Danny called, tapping the head of the Nasty Burger's mascot. The head was removed to reveal an irritated black girl.
"Yes Fenton?" she asked. Her normally curly hair was plastered to her face from the heat. Danny held up a cup and shook it a bit.
"Bought you a drink, Valarie." Danny said, stressing her first name. Valarie took it from him carefully, as if worried it would blow up.
"Thanks, Fenton. This isn't gonna turn me green or anything right?" She joked, although she was actually a bit concerned. Danny laughed and shook his head.
"No, but if my parents ever offer you a drink I would dump it in the nearest plant."
"I'm gonna be meeting your parents then?" She said slyly. Danny didn't fluster like he usually did.
"Sure. They like to know who my friends are." Danny said offhandedly. Her eyes sparkled just the smallest bit.
"Well I'll be sure to meet them before you can mess up the introduction."
"How do you plan to do that?" Danny asked.
"I get off in 20, then you and I are racing to your house."
"You think you'll win?" Danny teased. It was nice to see Val come out of her self imposed shell of isolation.
"I know I will." She responded, green eyes playful and determined. Danny smiled. He liked it.

"It's alright to have an off day..." Dash turned suddenly to face him. "It's not alright, to keep it all to yourself." The bully-victim complex between him and Dash had died around the middle of sophomore year, around the time Danny had been bumped to advanced classes. They rarely saw each other, in fact Danny would bet money that the quarterback didn't even realize that he was the mascot now. He was still about a head shorter than the blond jock, but they had both grown.
"Didn't know you came to the games Fenton." Dash stalled, picking at his purple jersey. Danny laughed.
"I'm the mascot." Danny said with a roll of his eyes. Dash spluttered a bit.
"You?! I thought it was some fan girl." Danny grimaced.
"Yeah, I uh, broke the amplifier and haven't really gotten around to fixing it." Danny admitted, rubbing the back of his neck. "I am your fan though. Dash, you're a great player, all you need it a little pep." Danny playfully punched Dash in the shoulder. "What's bugging you Dash?"
"My Dad, he..."; Dash looked at the ground. "He found out I was gay. He's not gonna come to the game." Danny felt like he had been struck. This was the most important game ever. For the first time in years the Casper High Ravens were playing for the championship. Dash's dad had always been there, with homemade signs and body paint. Even in the past when they had lost horribly, Mr. Baxter had always been there to hug his son after the game.
"He'll be there." Danny assured. "Maybe it was a shock to him, but I know you're Dad loves you." Dash shrugged. "And...and if he's not. I'll drag him here myself. So he can see that you're still the same dumb jock you've always been." The blond cracked a smile.
"You're so weird Fenton." He chuckled, pulling the shorter boy into a one armed hug. "Game starts soon. I need my fan girl out there cheering me on." Danny glared, causing the taller boy to laugh loudly.
"So I guess all the bullying in freshman year was just a gay crush then huh." Danny retaliated.
"Nah, cute or not you're still a nerd." Dash responded, ruffling black hair and walking out. Danny rolled his eyes and put on his costume, waiting in the wings with the other players.
"Welcome the Casper High Ravens!" Danny rushed out, circling the field with the players following him. He stopped in the middle of the field.
"CA-CAW!"
"CA- CAW!" The crowd responded. The players were announced one by one, leaving the field until only he and Dash remained. The blond was scanning the crowd frantically.
"Your quarterback, Dash Baxter!" The crowd burst into a roar of excitement.
"BAX-TER! BAX-TER!" Danny cheered, the crowd quickly catching on. A large banner unfurled, reading 'Go Dash.' in rainbow. Mr. Baxter stood right beside it. Dash grinned and knelt down on one knee like he always did. Danny hopped on and the two gave the Raven's call together. Danny was carried off the field, the other team being announced, in the back ground.
"Hey Dad..." Dash said, letting Danny drop back to the ground.
"I'm sorry about earlier son. I just...didn't know what to say. You don't hate your old man, do ya?" Dash wrapped an arm around Danny's shoulders.
"No, this nerd knew you'd show up, and I'm just a dumb jock who didn't know any better. Right?"
"Don't you have a game to go win?" Danny quipped, motioning to the coach who was motioning Dash over. Dash gave a mock salute and rushed off. "My time to shine." Danny said with a flap of his wings. The Ravens won the match without the other team scoring a single point. The stadium was in a state of celebration. Paulina, now the head of the Casper High local channel rushed on the field, to show the extent of victory. Dash meanwhile caught up to Danny. Danny removed the head of his costume and before he could speak, lips were crashing into his,
"WOO! GET IT DANNY!" Sam shouted from the stands, drawing everyone's eyes. Paulina dropped her microphone.
"AND ANOTHER FENTON JOINS THE WAR AGAINST GHOSTS!" Jack announced dramatically, causing the flustered Danny to face palm.
"HOPE YOU KNOW WHAT A HYPHEN IS JACK!" Mr. Baxter called out from the other side of the stands.
"RIGHT! FENTON-BAXTER! MADDIE QUICK DO WE HAVE ANY SAVINGS?" Danny rolled his eyes and faced Dash. The blond suddenly seemed very nervous.
"Okay, here are the rules. No sugarplum, sweetie, sugar crap. I am still a man. Two, I require constant attention. C, flowers are totally manly and I expect them on special occasions. Fifthly, we just won the championship!" Danny yelled, bringing the crowd back on track. Blue eyes looked at him with respect. Danny smiled.

"Daniel, what have you done?" A deep voice asked softly. Danny looked up, his wound healed, but still weak. Blue skin, red eyes, the only two figures like this had been enemy and mentor, only to switch roles after the accident. Danny gave a weak glare.
"Clockwork." He spat. "Is my death not a fixed point in time? Gonna hit rewind on my suffering?" Clockwork looked away in remorse. "You saved them freshman year, to save the world from my destruction, only to take them away!" Danny crawled towards the ghost. "Let me die! Let me be with them!"
"You can't die Daniel...and that has nothing to do with my decision." Clockwork stated. Danny paused, body heaving from labored breaths.
"What are you talking about?"
"Your soul was forcibly ripped in two when you sacrificed yourself." Clockwork began.
"So Phantom is out in the Ghost Zone. Leave him. Send me to where ever my loved ones are." Danny interrupted.
"Phantom has been sent to purgatory." Clock responded. "We know that without you, he is a monster. You will join him, for the soulless deserve neither paradise nor punishment."
"Tell me Clockwork. Did I ever have a chance at a happy ending?" Danny asked.
"Goodbye Daniel." The cold blade of a scythe tapped his head.

A blond haired man pulled out blood stained bone from his leather jacket, a challenge in his green eyes. The business man in front of him gave a condescending smile.
"And good on you! Pulling that together. A -plus." He mocked, straightening his red tie.
"Oh you don't think this will work do you?" The man asked. "You trust that demon?" The man rallied back. They had been trying to take down Dick Roman, leviathan in disguise, for months. Castiel, a full angel of the Lord, was at his side with a bottle of Power Cleaner, giving him a reassuring nod.
"You sure I'm even me, Dean?" Dick asked.
"No," Dean admitted. "But he is." Dick looked over to Castiel, smiling at the anger in the angel's blue eyes. "See here's the thing when dealing with Crowley. He will always find a way to bone you." Dean joked, shaking the bone for emphasis.
"This meeting is over." Dick sneered. "I have real clients waiting." Dick motioned to the door behind his desk to give the silent message that there could be a witness. Castiel moved towards the monster, but was flung into a wall. Dean plunged the bone into the monster's chest. Dick gasped, but managed to dislodge the bone, snapping it in two. "Did you really think you could trump me?"
"Honestly?" Dean grabbed the real weapon out of his jacket. "No." Dick had no time to react at Castiel pulled his head back. The bone was thrust through the monster's neck. Dick yelled loudly, two doors opening right after. A tall brown haired man and teenage Asian came in from the hall, while multi billionaire Vlad Masters came from the office. "Figured we'd catch you off guard."
"What is going on here?" Vlad asked. Dick Roman transformed into his true self, his face becoming a large mouth with sharp teeth and a protruding tongue. A loud roar echoed around them before the face returned to human. Waves of energy began to pulse from monster, set in time to a accelerated heartbeat. Vlad instinctively put up a pink dome as black goo splattered everywhere. The tall man straightened himself, and looked around. Dick, Cas and Dean nowhere to be found.
"Sam, we should go." The teen urged.
"What the hell?" Sam was completed bewildered. Vlad sent out a ghost clone to scour the area. He knew the look Sam's brown eyes. Loss. It had been a week since he had seen Danny's body fade out of existence right before his eyes. No ghost had answers for him. Phantom was nowhere to be seen in the ghost zone, and while some spoke of a reaper that resided with them, none knew how to find the being. Vlad could only hope that at his death Danny had simply passed on due to his half ghost nature, but he could never be sure. That is until the blond man had mentioned demons. Vlad had never been a religious man, turning to the science of ghosts to explain afterlives, but perhaps these humans could have answers for him.
"More chompers any second Sam." The teen urged again. Vlad reabsorbed his shadow, quickly flitting through the data. Another man suddenly appeared in the room, also attired in a suit and tie.
"Not to worry." The man said with a British accent. "I have a small army of...Who's this chap?" The man asked, jabbing a thumb in Vlad's direction. Sam seemed to notice the other man for the first time.
"Vladimir Masters." He said, extending a hand. Sam threw out a knife, the blade nicking Vlad just under the eye. Vlad gave a hiss, eyes burning red.
"Crossroad demon, Crowley?" Sam asked.
"Oi. Dick was making deals behind my back. How rude." Crowley said, feigning hurt.
"I am no demon." Vlad told them. "I am worse."
"Oh dear, am I frightened." Crowley snapped back.
"Where's Dean?" Sam interrupted. Crowley smirked, buffing his nails on his suit.
"That bone...has a bit of a kick. God weapons often do. They should put a warning on the box.
"Where are they Crowley!" He roared, his figure intimidating.
"Can't help you Sam." Crowley snapped his fingers and two demons appeared on either side of the teen. "Sorry, prophet's mine." Another snap of his fingers and Sam was left alone with a potential monster.
"I will help you. If you help me in return." Vlad said, eyes back to cobalt. Sam was internally impressed with the man. Never before had anyone matched him in height, and the man seemed so composed, even though the events that had just occurred where most definitely not normal.
"No...I can't. I can't hunt with anyone but Dean. I have no leads, no database, nothing. Plus I'm not interested in any taking over the world schemes you may have." Sam explained.
"Daniel has informed me that any attempt I make to take over the world ends with me stranded on an asteroid." Vlad said through gritted teeth.
"Uh, care to run that by me again?" Sam asked.
"The boy I need help finding used to be my enemy. Daniel has a knack for making powerful allies with almost no problems..." Vlad's eyes widened. "Clockwork, he must be the reaper." Vlad whispered to himself.
"Wait, Reaper? As in take your soul after you die, reaper?" Vlad eyes snapped back up to Sam.
"Help me. I merely seek answers to where he has gone. I have no interest in bringing him back if he is happy." Vlad assured. "In return I can aid you in anything you desire. Funding, ancient texts, criminal records erased?" Sam looked on the verge of caving in, so Vlad decided to press the issue. "We only had each other to rely on, ever since he lost his family and friends all in one day. Please."
"Alright." Sam agreed. "Let me get the Impala."

Danny watched curiously from the tree Phantom had left him in temporarily. A man that he had at first mistaken for Dash had landed first face in the dirt sometime ago. Another man with black hair in a trench coat had just appeared. Danny felt a slight tug at his heart upon seeing black so close to blond, but pushed it away. The black haired man leaned back from where he had presumably been checking if the blond had been breathing.
"Wake up, Dean." The man said in monotone. Dean opened his eyes. "Good, we need to get out of here." Dean stood up, looking around. Danny made sure to hide in foliage.
"Where are we Cas?" Dean asked.
"You don't know?" Cas responded. "Where would a Leviathan go in death?"
"Wait..are you telling me?"
"Every soul here is a monster." There was a rustling in the trees as Danny's hand slipped off the branch in shock. He was not a monster, and neither was Phantom, despite being separated from him. "This is where they come to prey upon each other for all eternity.
"We're in Purgatory? How do we get out?" Dean questioned in alarm.
"Wouldn't you like to know." Danny said softly, sensing Phantom's approach.
"I'm afraid we're much more likely to be torn to shreds." Phantom landed in the tree with practiced grace, wrapping his hands around Danny's middle and wordlessly lowering him to the ground.
"Cas, I think we better-" Dean turned to find Castiel missing. "Cas?" Phantom poked at Danny in the side, motioning with his chin towards Dean. Danny studied Dean a bit closer. The man looked about ten years older than him, but seemed in excellent shape, then again Vlad had always been in top condition.
"Get the perimeter." Danny ordered and Phantom quickly zoomed off. Danny approached Dean slowly, making sure to crunch as many leaves as possible to alert the man of his presence.
"What are you?" Dean growled, knife glinting.
"Human, same as you." Danny said offhandedly. "Humans can't get in here unless their souls are bonded to a 'monster', so what was trench coat?"
"Right, like I'm supposed to believe that another human would just so happen to find me." Dean retorted. Dean gripped Danny by the front of his white button up, slamming him against the base of the nearest tree.
"I wouldn't do that. The monster I'm bonded to is one to be feared." Danny growled, hand gripping Dean's wrist tightly. Dean winced and let go, afraid that the raven haired man would break his arm.
"Eye for an eye?" Dean suggested begrudgingly.
"Ghost."
"Angel." Dean admitted. "Looks like I trump you. So pipe down pipsqueak."
"Phantom!" Danny shouted. There was a white blur and Phantom stood next to Danny, green eyes bright. His ghost half had changed since he was fourteen, growing fangs and skin turning ice blue due to his overexcessive ice core. At first Danny had freaked out, worried he was turning into an alternative future evil version of himself, but as long as the eyes remained the same neon green, and his hair the same flowing snow white he had no reason to worry.
"What? Twin you called back from the dead?" Dean asked scathingly.
"Necromancy is child's play." Phantom said, in the same exact voice as Danny. "We used to be one person. We gained our powers through science, not anything shady."
"When my human half died, my ghost half was forcibly dragged here. Half my soul was here, and there's no judgement passed on those without a whole soul." Danny explained further. "If there is a way out of here, you might have to take your monster with you."
"Great." Dean said deadpan. "Well, as 'wonderful' as it was to run into you, I work better alone." Danny shrugged.
"If you say so. But, if you do find a way out...call for Phantom. I'd rather live out my life in the Ghost Zone than here." Dean regarded him silently for a moment. The man was younger than his little brother, but his eyes showed signs of aging. Dean gave a nod and walked off.

"Thanks again for towing the Impala here." Sam said as he spotted the black Chevy in the driveway of Vlad's mansion. Vlad merely inclined his head, deep in thought. "I hope this isn't rude, but how old are you?" Vlad looked up to see a faint blush on Sam's cheeks. "I mean, your hair is most definitely grey, but you don't seem..."
"I am 50, but I've been cursed with silver hair since I was twenty. However, my age is really irrelevant. Since my accident my aging process has decreased dramatically in my human half. I am immortal. Or so I thought, until Daniel managed to end his own life. It seems I will only be able to die by my own hand." The driver opened up the door to the limo and Vlad gracefully stepped out. Sam floundered on his exit, hastily rubbing down his jacket upon standing. "Let it be clear, that if you reveal any secrets that I divulge to you, you will not make it out of the castle alive."
"I don't have anyone to tell." Sam responded. Vlad accepted this answer and opened the doors, striding in. Sam followed, marveling at the numerous decorations around. He went on alert as two black rings sprung from Vlad's midsection, heading in opposite directions. Before him stood a blue skinned monster with fangs and red eyes. Vlad had forgone his devil hairdo sometime after Danny had joined him, instead keeping it tied in a ponytail as he did in his human half. After Danny had described the secret to transforming his costume, Vlad had opted for a white suit with a red handkerchief in the pocket. He barked out an order in Latin and several ghosts appeared in front of him. Sam tried to calm his heart, which felt as if it were ramming itself against his ribs to run the hell out of house and never come back.
"Staff, this is Samuel. You will treat him as you treated Daniel." Plasmius stated.
"Yes Master Plasmius." The ghosts said in unison. Except one, Sam noticed. Sam cleared his throat, gaining Plasmius' attention.
"One of your...servants...didn't agree. I'd rather not have to exorcise him later and have you kill me in retaliation." Plasmius turned back to his servants.
"Speak your disagreements." A green ghost with white eyes stepped forward.
"It was enough hassle looking after your first boy toy, how many are you going to go through in your eternity." He sneered. All the other servants immediately separated from the dissenter, and with good reason. Red flames quickly encircled the ghost.
"Daniel was like a son to me! How dare you disrespect him!" Plasmius roared, floating up above the ghost, purple electricity sparking around his hands. "My interactions with humans are none of your concern. In fact, nothing is of your concern now." The ghost fell to his knees.
"Please, do not kill me!" The flames extinguished in a single motion.
"Leave, and never return." The ghost nodded frantically and dove through the floor. Plasmius landed back on the floor, taking a calming breath. "I require Skulker, Ember, Kathrine and Johnathan." he stated, walking towards the stairs. The ghosts immediately scrambled, a few giving Sam a quick smile.
"Haunted mansion...great."

"This will be your room." Vlad stated, opening the door for Sam. Sam lugged his duffel bag inside, dropping it on the bed. "I hope the snooze you took in the limo was sufficient, clean up and I will have someone escort you downstairs."
"Uh, yeah. Thanks." Sam hastily responded as the door closed behind Vlad. Sam ran a hand through is long hair. "What am I doing?" he breathed. Kevin was captive, and Dean was missing. He couldn't do it alone, and the big evil was gone. It was his chance to be normal, except he needed to help Vlad first. Therein lay another problem, he was strangely attracted to the older man, but he was still unsure of in which way. Did he want the man's approval because he was rich and in his mind a higher class than him? Sam shook his head and turned to the bathroom to freshen up.
SPNDPSPNDPSPNDPSPNDP
"Meridith, please retrieve suit 213 and leave it for Samuel to find." Vlad said to the passing maid. There was a chime throughout the house, alerting Vlad that someone was requesting entrance from the Ghost Zone. Transforming into Plasmius he dove through the floor. He touched down on the floor of his lab, walking over to the hand scanner. He phased his glove off and pressed his hand to unlock the door. A young woman with blue skin and green eyes was waiting on the other side of the door. Her steel toed boots clunked on the ground as she walked into the lab.
"Did you find him?" She asked, concern only barely hidden beneath a mask of indifference.
"Unfortunately not Miss Ember." Ember's flaming blue hair died down just the tiniest bit. "But I have found someone who may be able to help."
"Skulker should be getting here soon. He had to reattach his arm." Ember relayed. "He managed to get that upgrade installed that you sent over, His power lines have changed to match his hair."
"Yes, that means it is working properly. His suit will now actively convert outside energy into a sustainable mass, until he will be able to function without it." Vlad explained, searching through the papers on the table. 'If the power lines are anything but green or the light blue they were before, have him eject from the suit immediately."
"Thank you..." Ember whispered. Vlad was an excellent employer, despite his evil reputation. The man wasn't evil at all in her opinion, he just decided those he didn't care about were not worth his time or compassion. While Ember appeared about 19, had she stayed living she would be around 32. She wasn't as antiestablishment as before and having found Skulker to be with she desired a child. Skulker's true form could not support losing that much energy though, he was barely the size of her palm.
"Miss Ember, what do you know of demons?" Plasmius asked carefully. Ember paused at the question, but joined Plasmius at the table, looking over his hand made map of the ghost zone.
"Heaven and Hell are just words, there is only the ghost zone." The rocker said. "There is only moving on and staying here. I suppose a Hallow would be what I thought was a demon when I was alive..."
"They reside in an entirely different dimension." Plasmius mentioned. One of the reasons he was seen as a higher up in the Ghost Zone was because he had taken the time to learn their culture. A Hallow was simply a person who would not accept their deaths and refused to move on. They became monstrous creatures that could not reside in the Ghost zone. Plasmius was pulled from his thoughts as Skulker arrived. The hunter gave his boss respectful nod and went to stand next to his girlfriend. The roar of a motorbike sounded on the other side of the door. A blond man in a black trench coat rushed in without introduction, green eyes searching the room.
"Have you found the little man yet?" he asked, out of breath.
"No." Ember answered. The grey skinned man's shoulder's slumped. A green skinned female walked up beside him and placed a hand on his back, her own red eyes filling with tears.
"Thank you for your concern Johnathan, but there is no need to look so forlorn. I have come in contact with someone who may be able to find him." Johnny looked up in shock.
"And if he can't?" his girlfriend asked tersely.
"Kitty..." Ember said slowly. Kitty pulled at her green locks.
"No! Why would you ever take him back there? WHY! How did you not notice him getting sicker and sicker right in front of you!" Kitty yelled, swinging her red purse half heartedly at Plasmius. Ember wrapped Kitty in a restraining hug, her best friend breaking down into tears.
"Daniel was no longer a little boy when he came here. I could not hover over him without pushing him away." Plasmius answered. "I know you feel strongly for the boy..."
"You weren't there Plasmius! You talk of how you took him in and healed him, but it was ME who had to pick up the pieces in the first place. There were millions! Do NOT diminish what I did for the boy, simply because I was only able to glue him back together while you thought you could pay to fix him." Kitty huffed, mascara running down her face.
"I'm trying my best..." Plasmius said softly. "I cannot promise we'll find him. And if we do I cannot promise we will bring him back."
"I am not asking that. I just want him happy again. We all do."

"Where do you think these guys go when we kill them?" Danny asked, staring down at the beheaded vampire. Phantom shrugged, wiping off his hands on the nearest tree.
"Maybe they respawn." Phantom suggested. He absentmindedly picked at his white and black outfit. "Do you think that Dean guy will find a way out?" Danny picked a few twigs out of his hair while he thought.
"Yes. If Purgatory exists so do Heaven and Hell, despite what Vlad says. If there is a Heaven there is a God and if there is a God he would not send his own angel to rot here for eternity. The cosmos are fucking with someone else's life besides mine for a change and I'm gonna take advantage of that to get out of here."
"You think Vlad has already declared us dead. It would be kinda awkward for you if he did." Danny rolled his eyes, playfully shoving his counterpart.
"No. He's probably looking for me. How long has it been?" He asked. Phantom took out the ticking silver clock he had nabbed from Clockwork during his own sentencing.
"Little over a week. May 19th." Danny nodded, peering out into the gloom. He didn't notice Phantom watching him, conflicting emotions in his eyes. "Do you think we will reform if we get out?"
"I don't know."
