Ok so I'm back! I hope that this will explain more into the plot and that crap. Anyway as for grammar/spelling not my fault! Ok so it is but it is so much easier to blame spellcheck!

Also, I might just start time dating when I write because I started this earlier in June but my computer broke (well not broke broke it stopped working sometimes but was still whole.) Anyway, the point is I had been going one way but now it is different. Nothing changes as far as you or Danny knows (for now) but the plot is in my opinion ten times better. Sorry for the late update!

(Also Josh's words will not be italic anymore too hard to write)

2 months later…

Danny sighed as he flipped the page of the book in his lap. Clockwork had assigned him work to do. Mainly reading, sorting the books in the huge library, and doing other simple task around the timeless clock tower.

The words seemed to melt into each other. Danny was never a big reader, so when Clockwork put a book thicker than his fist in front of him to read Danny's day took a turn for the worst.

"It could be worst. You know your core, your very soul, could be ripped from your body and your body could turn into an amorphous blob of ectoplasmic until you find a power source that stabilizes you into your form, though it is weak and almost none existent." Josh chirped happily from his vantage point sitting crossed leg on the large oak desk.

Danny turned his eyes toward the celling the huge rafters disappeared into the darkness and shadows because of how high they were, before turning his head back at the boy getting a nice view of the whole room. It was undoubtable the biggest place Danny had ever stepped foot in, apart from the ghost zone of course. Rows and rows of shelves all lined with different books stretched from the floor to the celling. Standing there for eternity as the library's sentries, forever watching over the cold, ageless room.

"Yes, well this is just as bad. I'm being held prisoner in a clock tower forced to do work because a crazy fruitloop (other than Vlad) is after me!"

Joshua smiled darkly but said nothing, for some unknown reason it sent a shiver of fear up his spine like some primitive reaction to danger.

"All I'm saying is Clockwork is being ridiculous."

Josh shrugged. "Of course he is the master of time he can do whatever he pleases."

Before Danny could respond, a loud crash echoed around the ghostly room.

Both of the ghostly boys winced. "Erisa?" Danny questioned knowingly.

"Yupe Clockwork refused to remove the medallion. "

"It's like those two are complete opposites hell-bent on destroying each other," Danny sighed running a gloved hand through his snowy white hair. "Would it kill them to get along?"

Josh laughed. "Yes, yes it would."

Danny yawned rubbing his tired eyes, "Well I'm going to sleep since I do need it."

Danny stood letting the large leather-bond book fall from his lap with a thump landing in a pile of other, old, dusty books that made a circle around were he had been sitting. Stepping carefully over them he walked past the ghost still sitting Indian style on the desk towards the ancient doors. "Goodnight Josh."

"Night Danny."

As he made his way through the endless corridors of the clock tower, Danny couldn't help but think about a few days after Erisa told him the truth.

Flashback…

He was mad, no furious at her, the fact she could keep it a secret this long, for getting him in this mess since it was her fault.

"Don't be a baby!" Josh snapped breaking Danny out of his stupor. "So what your life is hard so is mine, so is Clockworks, and my God so is Erisa's! What she did to protect you the least you could do is not over react like a PMSing woman!"

Danny was flabbergasted to say in the least. "My family thinks I'm dead! All my friends think I'm dead! And Sam got dragged into this! My life is ruin it literally is over!"

His hand hit his cheek hard enough that Danny stumbled backwards. "So what about me? My life is gone. I don't blame her so why do you?" He hissed through his teeth eerily calm.

Danny just stood there his mouth hanging open his cheek turning a bright red both from shame and from the force of the slap.

End flashback…

Danny sighed shaking his head to clear his thoughts. He had made it to the hallway where the living quarters were. His eyes followed the light seeping from the open door that lead into Erisa's room. She never left it open let allow unlocked. Something pulled him to it, his hand rested on the slightly ajar door pushing it open more. The room itself was plain, with bone white walls, a beige bed cover, gold bed frame, a white carpet, the pearly white door in the side that lead to a bathroom, the only thing that stood out was the cherry red desk in the corner.

He could she paper scattered across it. His feet itched to move forward, his finger begged to run across the papers look at them see them know them, his eyes agreed. The desk called to him like a siren in the night tempting him with its beauty.

"I wouldn't go in there if I was you. Erisa is not very open to people looking through her stuff." Danny jumped at least ten feet off the ground spinning around coming face-to-face with a bemused Sam.

"Jesus Christ Sam!" He gasped clutching his chest; he could feel his core beating rapidly against his rib cage. "Are you trying to make me full ghost?"

She laughed, "No I'm saving you from becoming a full ghost at the hands of Erisa."

He let out a sigh, laughing breathlessly, "Thanks. I don't know why I was looking I guess I was curious."

Sam smiled, "Well why don't you come to bed?" She winked before turning around throwing her hips into her gait as she headed for his room.

Danny grinned before following behind her obediently

Danny sighed as he opened his eyes tiredly. Sam wasn't in his arms but he could hear the shower running through the closed door. He looked towards the white celling lost in happiness. Two eyes stared back him a smile pulling at Josh's lips. "Sleep well?"

Danny grunt in respond to tried to rise to the bait.

Josh smiled. "Well then we have a busy day don't we?"

"Wha?" Danny asked rubbing his eyes tiredly weird he had almost a full night's sleep yet was so tired.

"Well I figured you could tell me more about you elemental core. You know since I don't have one and all I wanted to know more about them. Like how do you control it? What does it feel like? How did you get it?"

"Whoa josh stop I need coffee first." Danny mumbled rolling out of bed in search of clothes. With his back to Josh, he didn't notice the predatory smile that crossed his lips as his eyes rolled over his naked body, a pink tongue flicked out wetting his dry lips oh it would be so easy, just change his form for one night into Sam then take what was his. Josh was snapped back into reality as Danny slipped on a pair of Boxers. Josh had to stop himself from whining. He hated clothing it cover human flesh weakening the aura that clung to it like a sweet perfume. And Danny being half ghost oddly it only made him more alive. Right now in his ghost form, his core beating like a heart was different from normal ghost so much, so it made his head dizzy with desire.

Josh turned away breaking eye contact with the muscular flesh that was Danny Fenton. He could hear the soft noise of the zipper as he pulled it up; it rested just below his Adam's apple.

Danny turned Josh still had his back to him, though Danny was too tired to even process the information, let alone care.

"Coffee." Danny mumbled tiredly moving like a zombie after a fresh human. He past the room that was Erisa's the same nagging to enter pulled at him but he was too tired to follow it his mind set on finding the hot, black liquid to wake him up.

Josh follow behind him like a lost puppy, with Danny so tired it would be so easy get the answers he needed then he could feast with no one to stop him. A dark smile crossed his lips his tongue flicking out to taste his lips.

They made it to the kitchen finally every step was like torture to both boys. Danny because he was exhausted. Josh because his self-control was wearing thin.

Danny fumbled with the large blue mug filling it to the brim with the hot steaming liquid.

"Ok you have your coffee will you answer my questions now?" Josh asked impatiently.

"Wait wouldn't you know all about that stuff already though?"

Josh laughed shrugging it off, "Yeah you would think but honestly I never really listen. But being a full ghost now I'm a little more interested."

(Ignore the lines my computer is acting up like a childish little girl)

Danny nodded understanding, before the accident his parents craziness was just that; craziness. "Well, as far as I can tell each ghost has a core, each core is like a soul I guess you could say, well each core is different for each ghost. Some cores have an elemental power though, like mine is ice, Clockworks is time, but not all ghost have an elemental core. Vlad's core wasn't an elemental core it was just an ectoplasmic core."

Josh smiled, "So what other kinds of cores are there?"

"Nocturne has a sleeping core, which sounds lame but it really isn't he has the power to affect others like a lot of elemental cores do. Take pariah Dark, his core is strong enough that he has power over other ghosts to a point that they would follow him, but after being locked up for so long his power lost its hold so the ghost rebelled."

"But elements are like fire, water, air, and earth those don't seem like they fall into any of those."

Danny laughed, "No I suppose not. Well, elemental core is really vague; power core would be a better description because it is for all cores that have more than just ectoplasm in it."

Josh nodded, "So like the Box Ghost core would be boxes?"

"Mh no boxes are his obsession which pulls greatly in which direction a ghost core will be, Actually he has just a simply Ectoplasm core so all he has is the simple powers, flit, intangibility, invisibility, etc., etc."

"Oh, what's your obsession than?"

Danny laughed, "Well, we figured out Halfas have two obsessions mine is protecting people," He ran a hand through his hair absently minded, "And the people I love most."

Josh grin grew, "So like Sam?"

Danny laughed again leaning against the counter, "Yeah, like Sam."

"You really love her don't you?"

Danny smiled, his face had a dreamy look to it, "Yeah she's my life."

"Ok, so next question, what is a weakness to each power core?" Josh asked.

Danny shrugged, "I don't know it depends on the ghost themselves."

"Well you must have some idea!"

Danny raised an eyebrow at his desperate tone, "I really don't know it depends on the ghost power level, lower power levels more weaknesses, higher power level less weaknesses."

"Oh so like a level one ghost with an ice core could be beat with fire, but a level ten level ghost with an ice core not so easily?"

Danny took a swig of his coffee nodding, "Yeah, that's pretty much it."

"How many power cores are there?"

Danny shrugged, "No idea considering how big the Zone is and all we've only scratched the surface and there are a lot, but of course a lot are also just ecto-cores."

"Look Josh I would love to answer more of your questions but I got to get to Clockwork ok?"

"Ok good luck."

Danny finished his coffee before heading out in search of the ghost of time, which didn't take long.

"I HATE YOUR ROTTEN ECTO-PLASMIC GUTS!"

"I'm doing what's best for every one not just myself!"

"Yeah right! You will kill millions!"
" It has to happen!"

"Power hungry maniac!" Erisa screamed before storming out of the central hub of the clock tower.

Danny just moved out of the way swiftly to avoid her fury. Clockwork sighed deeply, turning his red eyes on to the scared boy. "Good to see you finally made it on time to our lessons Daniel."

Danny scowled at this murmuring under his breathe, "Well if they weren't so damn early."

The two figures stood in front of the large consul watching intently.

"He is losing control I knew we shouldn't have let him in there alone!" The first man said his voice laced with venom.

"Relax; The Master knows what he is doing."

"How can I relax Vladimir when I know we are just inches away from this all failing?!"

Vlad smiled his red eyes shining in the dim light of the small laboratory room, "because we are just inches from have enough information to destroy the ghost zone barriers and release Hell on earth."

The monitor flashed in tune with a heartbeat, all the different screens reading vitals, but the center one, the center one showed what the boy was dreaming and how close they were to victory.

The figures lips were a thin line, "Still if he can't control himself long enough-"

"He will I'm sure, so run alone now and tell the sorcerer and Vilgax everything is going as planned."

"Remember Vlaimir who is in charged."

Vlad's smile grew, "How could I forget Lord Ganondorf?"

Danny sighed tiredly as he walked down the hallway again this week. It felt like he did the same thing every day for weeks now, only everyday it felt as he was losing all his energy.

He stopped in front of the door again, the feeling was stronger tonight. The urge to change his routine also pulled at him as he pushed open the door more. Oddly, it was empty he could have sore Erisa would have been in there ready to bite his head off for coming into her room.

He walked forward his boots echoing off the walls loudly. He walked straight to the desk drawn to it for some unknown reason. It was surprisingly messy, papers scattered across it, compared to the rest of the room in was foreign in every sense.

His hand reached grabbed a small piece of paper about the size of a picture. He only captured a glance of it before a low growl made him spin on his heels. The picture was of a boy only sixteen maybe, With snowy white hair hidden in a white hood, glowing green eyes shone from beneath the shadow that fell across his face from the hood. Danny only vaguely noticed a blurry black and white color contrast in most of the picture before it floated down landing on the desk picture side down.

Josh stood in the doorway eyes glowing dangerously, his teeth were bared in a snarl his hands glowing a dark red. "You've pushed me to far Daniel, Then again I did warn them what would happen. But did they listen to me no of course not!"

"Josh I don-"

"Don't call me that you lowly human!" He growled darkly stepping forward Danny instantly took a step back his back pressed against the cherry red desk.

Josh grinned his tongue flickering out to wet his lips. "I promise this will be over soon far more quickly than what the others had in plan. Sure they will be mad but we got enough information from you so it's time I reaped what I sowed."

Danny opened his mouth to say something, anything, but he didn't get a chance. Josh sprang like a cat suddenly, He pinned Danny against the desk with his weight his lips crashing into Danny's.

Danny's eyes widen, his teeth slamming down to stop the other boys tongue which rubbed his bottom lip. His fist slammed against his chest but the more he fought the weaker he felt. It was as if Josh was stealing his strength.

He didn't even have enough strength to keep his arms up the fell limply to his side his fingertips brushing the desk, his eyelids fell and he sagged into the desk. He could fell Josh smiling as the other boy forced his mouth open before taking a handful of hair pulling on it roughly.

Danny whimpered in pain, black spots appeared in his vision.

Josh smiled his lips sealing over the very much alive boy's pulse point, "So much life wrapped up it to one perfect package."

That's when Danny felt it, it was cold in his fingers; The picture he dropped. He didn't know what possed him but he grabbed it using the last of his strength to pick it up and shove it in to the other boy's chest.

Josh reeled away as if he had been stung screaming in agony, where the picture had touched him was hissing and burning.

Danny gasped for air, falling to his knees his vision blacking out. Only instead of Darkness it was brightness a figure standing over him speaking to him, but he couldn't hear or make out how it was, and pain so much pain in his entire body.

He coughed awake a slap reviving him painfully, Josh had him pinned to the floor straddling his hips his hands clasped around his throat tightly. "You can't escape what is coming Ghost Boy! Hell will rain from the sky! Mark my word the end is near!"

Danny gasped coughing disparately as air filled his lungs. He gagged as the tube was pulled from his throat, bile and liquid oozing from his mouth as he turned away when it was out. He struggled his hands and feet were numb with the pins and needle feeling. He flailed glass crashed to the floor loudly. He fell from the cot he had been laying on to the floor landing in shards of glass that cut it to his hands and wrist as he struggled to put as much room between him and his captor, his back hit the cold, hard wall. He could hear a heart monitor going wild, and feel wires pulling against his skin attached by stickers.

A wave of calming peace rushed over him like a wave, calming and relaxing his nerves and muscles. A figured crouched in front of him, her fingers brushing back his dark locks from his face as she pulled off the wires monitoring his brain waves.

"Erisa…" He mumbled staring into her blue eyes.

She smiled cupping his face, "Hey Danny your safe now, you can sleep."

He tried to fight it but sleep over took him blocking off his vision the last thing he saw was two cloak men one all in the black the other the person he saw in the picture only with white wings protruding from his back…
