Chapter 2

King Phantom was angry and at the same time terrified. 180 years had passed since he had left the human world behind but that didn't mean he didn't keep an eye on it. He watched their progress carefully over the years but things got busy and he had too much to do in the zone to pay much attention to them. When he first came to the Zone with Dana, Clockwork told him that repairing the damage done to Ghost Zone would take much longer than he thought. For nearly a 1000 years the Zone did not gave a High King the council members were lost to insanity, to hatred some even long gone or had not been heard from in centuries without a High King many territories had broken away, some lost to history it would take a long time to fix the damage the previous King had done but he didn't shy away from the monumental task he rose up and gathered his allies, he created and labored and learnt and he worked to making a great Kingdom, then his people rejoiced his Sam had returned to him and she had given them a Queen.

They worked together with their daughter but the storm was not over the council was still divided he may be King but he needed to prove to his people and the more ancient ghosts that he would protect them, defend them and put them first if needed. He was still half human even if his mate was a full ghost his heiress was also only half ghost, he may be powerful but there were many territories that were not yet ready to yield to him and they would soon but they were also the him and they would soon but they were also the ones who called for war and created panic amongst his people but war was not the answer he knew it and so did Sam.

He was sure that the human heroes would bring back his daughter. He had watched that Earth very closely mostly because after his parents were gone his original world were left with a dead end and they stopped their research into the Ghost Zone but the Earth with the aliens and meta humans they were advancing fast and he would not be able to hide from them not for much longer.

The council was a whole new level of problems and he felt his headache get worse, they wanted a war with the humans, it was something that had been lingering since the dawn of time and there were some who could not be shown reason. This was probably the worst day he had had in a very long time and it was not ending anytime soon. If they failed to return his daughter then they could bet he would tear down everything in his path that kept her from him but for now he had to stop is mate from tearing the council apart with her bare hands for being prejudiced old fools. He hated dealing with elder ghosts they were always bat shit insane.

The team

Nightwing, Wonder Girl and Superboy worked their way inside the alien ship. Superboy was sent off to find the girl and get her off the ship and back to the base while they destroyed the ship. Superboy broke off from his team mates and for a moment his mind flashed back to an old mission when Megan was captured once. He was the one to rescue her and she kissed him the same way she now kissed La'gaan. He immediately scrowled she had meant the world to him to him but the person she was becoming, the way she was using her powers he couldn't deal with that and the way she had perverted touching his mind something that once held so much meaning to him and she just moved on but sometimes he thought maybe he should too but would there ever be anyone who would understand him the way he had believed she did. He scrowled again and focused back on the task at hand, saving the princess before her father started a war to get her back.

He managed to get inside the room they kept her in unseen. She was in some sort of glowing green pod and she was wrapped in an eerily glowing green blanket, she even had a hood up covering her face from view. He was about to smash the pod open and take her out when he realized that it was connected to all sorts of wires and computers and he wasn't sure what would happen if he broke it all.

"Superboy to Nightwing. I found her but alarms are definitely going to deafen us if I break it. She's in a pod of some sort."

Nightwing replied to him, "Wonder Girl and I are ready to go too. Bust it open and get out."

Superboy grabbed the glass cover and pulled and immediately the alarms went off but the girl didn't wake up so he pulled of the weird tarp she was wrapped up in and was horrified when a layer of her skin came off with the tarp and she screamed in pain, she looked at him and whimpered, "Its made from ectourium, its poison."

He was also shocked to see that not only did her skin come off but she was naked as well without the tarp so instead of wrapping her inside the poison he pulled his shirt off himself and dressed her in it, blushing and trying not to look. He couldn't really help it she was really pretty but he also refused to take advantage of the fact that she was probably in a lot of pain or maybe even dying. He picked her up as carefully as he could and bust through the roof instead of dealing with the army of aliens waiting to try to kill them. He met up with Alpha and returned to the cave.

When they returned Miss Martian and Beast boy explained what they had learned during their off world mission, however Megan was thinking about Conner. She couldn't help but remember the conversation she had with the girl on Rann. She loved him and while she cared about La'gaan what she had done to him it wasn't fair and not even an apology would be enough to fix her relationship with him. She still felt that she was using her powers to help people and the people left comatose were bad guys so they didn't matter but she never meant to hurt him and she still loved him. She had been so lost in her thoughts she didn't even notice when Superboy returned and almost had a heart attack when she noticed the unconscious girl with snow white hair wearing his shirt as she was clutching onto Connor.

The girl was incredibly beautiful, her pale skin glowed slightly and her hair was long. She remembered how much Conner loved to run his fingers through her hair when it was longer, he said it didn't bother him when she started cutting it but she also knew that he missed it. Her hair was the color of freshly colored snow and she looked a lot like a porcelain doll.

Connor moved to put her down when she arched her back and out a pained whimper and then she opened her eyes and both she and Superboy froze and stared before she sighed.

"Thank you Connor."

Her voice had a weird echo behind it but she smiled and looked around before she sat down on the couch indian style and floated into the air. The air around her glowed green and she pulled the energy towards herself and her wounds started to heal, then the shirt she was wearing morphed, it lengthened until it reached her knees and the sleeves fitted her. The red emblem disappeared and changed to a white DP logo and her long hair tied itself into a pony tail and white pumps appeared on her feet.

She floated to the ground and looked down at her outfit in surprise, this is new but doable and then she turned to the earth heroes, "Its nice to meet you, my name is Dana and thank you for getting me away from them."

Nightwing replied to her, "You are welcome but we were told something about a war, since you're safe that won't be a problem right?"

She winced, "My father would never harm the innocent however our world is not exactly stable right now. I'll have to make this look good to appease the council."

Megan hated the way Superboy looked at her, like she was some sort of precious treasure and almost growled out, "If your father is the High King he should be able to control his own council."

Dana's eyes flashed at her and she sighed, "My father may be king but he is the High King by right of conquest not succession. The previous King went mad with power and almost destroyed the Zone but he was locked away when one idiot decided to wake him up and my father ended up challenging him for the crown. Now he has to undo over 1000 years of damage as well as prove his right to rule. We are ghosts we have a very different way of working from humans. We have no need for money nor do we care for beauty many ghosts no longer look human but every society must have a hierarchy, we decide on power and strength. My world is not exactly stable right now so he would have to appease the council if they voted for war but with my return we can sort it out, and speaking of return I need to leave. If you want to talk more I'll come back when a war council is not being prepped."

She turned her back on all of them and closed her eyes again and glowed green, this time she wore a medieval black ball gown with white gloves and the white lace looked like snowflakes. A diamond choker appeared on her neck and her hair was adorned with green flowers and she wore a silver circlet around her head. When she opened her eyes they were glowing bright green and then she spoke, "Fright Knight Spirit of Halloween, your mistress summons thee."

A black knight rose from the ground in a kneeling position with a glowing green sword in his hands, "Your wish is my command my Lady."

She smiled, "Open a portal directly to the council and lead me through. They will rue the day they tried to use me against my father. Fucking ancient hags."

Before she could walk out she smiled at them, "I'll be back."
