I don't own any of the characters in this story.

"Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh." Misty repeatedly said that line for five straight minutes, her hand to where her heart was. Misty breathed heavily, while looking down at her feet.

Brock stood up and put a hand on Misty's shoulder. "It's okay. We'll get Ash back. I promise."

Misty pulled away from Brock's grip on her shoulder, and looked toward him, tears forming in the corners of her eyes. "It's not that. The problem is that I was responsible for all this."

"What?" Brock asked, confused.

"Pika?" Pikachu asked, jumping up on Brock's shoulder to hear better.

Tears fell down her face as she talked. "This is all my fault. If I hadn't pushed Ash into telling me what he had said, then none of this would've happened. He wouldn't have bumped into the pedestal. He wouldn't have broken the vase. He wouldn't have released Danny. And he wouldn't have had his body taken away by a killer." Misty sunk down to the floor, crying, with Togepi looking up at her with sympathy and worry.

Brock kneeled down to her and said, "It's okay. We don't blame any of this on you. Please stop. Ash wouldn't want to see you cry."

Misty wiped away the tears and looked up at Brock. "You're right."

"Great. Now let's go find Ash." Brock said, heading towards the door.

Misty was about to get up from off the floor, when she noticed the same gray sooty, dust that Ash had breathed in earlier. "Wait." Misty said, stopping Brock.

"What is it?" Brock asked, walking toward Misty, and kneeling down.

"Has it ever come into your mind of how Danny got stuck in the vase?" Misty asked, looking up at Brock.

Brock rubbed his chin in thought, then replied saying, "Yeah. Actually it has. Why?"

Misty pointed at the dust and said, "Look at this. Maybe this isn't dust. Maybe, just maybe, this dust could be Danny's ashes. Maybe he was cremated and put inside an urn, trapping him from going anywhere. And instead of letting his spirit be lifted up to heaven, he went to a body that he could rule."

"Ash." Brock concluded.

"Pika pi." Pikachu said, still sitting on Brock's shoulder.

Brock snapped his fingers, and said, "That's it! Misty, you're a genius." The comment made her face blush a little, as she stood up. Suddenly, they heard a voice from behind them, and they turned toward the door. There, standing in the doorway, was Danny in Ash's body.

"Well, well, well, you finally figured it out. I'm so proud of you." Danny said, clapping a little.

Misty, Brock, and Pikachu's facial expressions turned to anger as they saw Danny. "Yeah. We know! Why did you have to kill such an innocent woman? What did she ever do to you?" Misty asked, glaring at Danny.

"Nothing. She was too perfect. But I needed the money, so I killed her after stealing about $100,000." Danny said, smirking his evil grin.

"You make me sick!" Misty yelled, running towards Danny. But when she got towards him, he vanished. Misty gasped, as she stopped in her tracks. "How did he?"

"How did I what? Vanish?" Danny asked from behind her. Misty jumped when she saw him behind her.

Brock ran by Misty's side, and asked Danny, "But how? You're in Ash's body. He can't vanish."

"Oh, I know he can't do it. But whoever said that I can't? I might have taken control over a human body, but that still doesn't mean that I don't have my ghost powers! I can vanish, turn intangible, and fly. Everything your friend, Ash, couldn't." Danny said, as he started to hover off the ground.

Misty and Brock gasped in awe.

"Now if I were you, I'd sleep with both eyes open." Danny said, grinning evilly.

"And why's that?" Misty asked, holding Togepi, tightly.

"Let's just say this your last night of living. You see? I can do anything in this body, and that includes killing poor, helpless suckers like you." Danny said, laughing. Misty and Brock gasped in fear.

"Ash would never do something like that!" Misty yelled.

"Okay, two things. First, you care a lot for this Ash boy." Danny said, making Misty blush.

Brock looked up at Danny, and said, "I know right? This has been going on forever." That gave him a glare from Misty.

"And second, Ash isn't here right now. I'm here, and that's all that matters." Danny said, pointing at himself. "Say your prayers. Cause this'll be the last night you can say them." Saying this, Danny in Ash's body, went intangible and flew through the ceiling.

Misty gasped, and turned to Brock. "We've got to help Ash snap out of it before it's too late."

"I couldn't agree with you more." Brock said, as he ran out of the room with Misty following him.

Misty and Brock looked down both hallways and down the big staircase. "How do we find him?" Misty asked, setting Togepi on the banister.

"Why don't you look behind you?" Danny suggested, as Misty turned around to see him face her. Misty gasped, as she was forcefully pushed off the ground, over the banister, and soon to be onto the hard floor.

"ASH!" Misty screamed.

Meanwhile, somewhere in his subconscious, Ash opened his eyes, and saw that he was floating in mid air. "What the?" Ash asked, as he turned his head to see Misty falling. "Misty?" Ash gasped in realization and screamed, "MISTY!"

On the outside, Ash regained his body, jumped to the banister and quickly, grabbed Misty's hand. Misty had closed her eyes, but felt someone or something grab her. Misty opened her eyes and looked up to see Ash, his eyes not red anymore, holding onto her hand. "Ash!" Misty said, happily.

After pulling her up, Ash quickly hugged Misty. Misty hugged him back a little surprised. "I'm glad you're okay."

"Me too, but is it really you, Ash?" Misty asked, putting her hands on his shoulders and looking straight into his eyes.

Ash looked confused, and replied saying, "Yeah. Of course it's me. Who else?" Misty just smiled at his reply, this definitely was Ash. But it didn't last long. Ash's expression turned blank, then he felt a sharp pain in his head. Ash stumbled down, while holding his head in agony. Ash screamed in pain, as Misty and Brock gasped.

"Pika pi!" Pikachu yelled from Brock's shoulder.

Suddenly, Ash heard a voice in his head that sounded familiar. "This is MY body. And I will not have some kid take it away from me." Ash was about to say something, when his body felt numb again. Then he face planted on the floor.

Misty grabbed Togepi off the banister and kneeled down to Ash. "Ash? Are you still there?" But when Ash looked up at her, it wasn't her Ash that she was seeing. It was Danny! Ash's eyes glowed red once again, and his hair messier than before. Danny grinned revealing his sharp teeth.

"NO! ASH!" Misty yelled.

"Ash isn't here right now. Please leave a message after the beep. Beep." Danny said, laughing.

"Yes he was! He saved me from being killed by you!" Misty shouted, her fists clenching together.

"Yeah. But it won't happen again. I'm staying in this body, and no one is going to get me out." Danny said, looking at Misty with Ash's red eyes.

"Oh yeah!" Brock yelled as he ran toward Danny, and punched him in the stomach. But instead of it hurting, Danny just laughed.

"Don't you remember, kid? I can turn intangible." Danny said, continuing to laugh. Brock looked down at where his fist was and saw that it was actually through Ash's stomach. Brock pulled back his hand and grabbed it, a little grossed out.

"You're evil!" Misty yelled in Danny's face.

Danny grinned, and said in a polite tone, "Thank you!" Seeing how it was a compliment to him, Misty glared at Danny with daggers and growled.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I have deaths to plan!" Danny said, before he vanished once again.

"Oh no!" Brock said, looking at Misty. "Come on! Let's go!" Misty nodded, as Brock ran away with Misty following him.

*gasp* What is going to happen next? Even I don't know! But anyways, I hope you liked the chapter and please review.
