Chapter IX: Sweet Sorrows

Danny

"Mom, dad, you home?" I asked as I walked through the portal and went up to my room and my computer and logged on.

I put on my headset and adjusted the webcam and began to record, "Hey Jazz, I know you're out looking at colleges so I am emailing this message to you. I have to go on a mission, I might not come back…," I said trying to fight back tears. "I just want to know that I love you and to be brave and to take care of Danielle for me," I said finally breaking down no matter how much you psych yourself for the fact that you might die is something that no man can accept. "I hope to live but I'm not getting my hopes up, farewell," I say hitting the stop command and send the video to her.

I take a deep breath and calm myself again for recording another message, "Hello, my friends in Nod's Limbs, this is Phantom. I have to go on a mission that might be very be my last, I thank you for your support and kindness and I also would like to thank you for taking care of Danielle and the welcome you gave her. Thank you," I said as I sent it and turned off my computer as I heard sobbing outside my door. I open it and see mom and dad outside crying.

"Danny is that true," dad asks me, trying to act brave and comforting mom as best he could.

"I wish there was some other way, I desperately wish I could avoid this mission and tell you I was going to make it home, but I can't. I won't be alone though, the Ghostbusters are coming with me to face off against this threat,' I explain to them as they soon scoop me up in a hug.

"Danny, I just want you to know that we're proud of you," mom says looking me in the eyes, "I hope you can forgive for how we acted before we knew you were Phantom," she tells me tearfully afraid to let go of me.

"It's water under the bridge and thank you," I tell her letting my own tears fall, "I'll never forget you, ever," I tell them as I hear a knock on the door and go down to answer it.

"Hey, dude, I got your message what's up," Tucker said as I found him on the other side. I let him in and tell him about what I have to do. "Whoa, harsh, things won't be the same without you," he says as I nod in agreement as a tear rolled down his face.



"I know but it has to be done," I tell him trying to be brave, "I might survive but I think it best not to get my hopes for that though," I tell him saying as a portal opens and Clockwork appears from it.

"Who are you?" mom asks curious about this ghostly visitor. She doesn't draw any weapons as she has learned that are ghosts who help me rather than hurt me and her motherly intuition told her that Clockwork was benign.

"I am Clockwork, master of time, I have come to take Danny on his mission," he says as he looks to me.

"I am, if I don't come back, I'll see you on the other side," I said as we shared one last embrace and looked to Clockwork and followed him as Tucker, mom, and dad waved goodbye to me before I walked through the portal.

Edgar

"Hey Edgar we have a message from Danny?" Ellen said as I raced from my lab to our room where she was.

"What does it say, I ask her as me and Pet came in the room looking at the monitor.

"If you just hold on a second, I can bring up," I opened it and a video of Danny poped up. The look on his face was one of anguish and determination as he told us that he might be going on his last mission.

"I hope Danny will make it out alive," I tell Ellen as we look at each other as our stomachs dropped with fear for our ghostly friend.

Jazz

"As you can see Ms. Fenton, we offer the best psychology program in the country and by looking at your grades I can safely say that you will be accepted," the dean said as he concluded the tour and we returned to his office.

"Thank you, sir," I said as I shook his hand and my phone beeped letting me know I had an email, "Danny?" I asked myself as I turned back to my host. "Pardon me, I have a family issue to attend to, thank for your hospitality," I say as I get up and leave for empty classroom and open the email.

Tears began to flow down my face as I watched the video Danny sent me, "please be careful," I whispered as I wept for my brother and prayed he would come back safe and sound.

Egon

"Everything is ready," Ray said as he strapped on our proton packs and other equipment we needed in order to face this foe.

"It is time," I heard Clockwork's voice said as the all knowing ghost of time appeared once more, "Danny is waiting for us at my tower," he said as he opened a portal and beckoned us to follow him.



"Let's do it gentlemen," Peter said as he walked through the portal and the rest of us followed him.

When we walked out of it we were back in Clockwork's tower where a solemn Danny stood looking at the ghost's mirror.

"Danny, are you ready," Clockwork asks as the young Halfa nods with a heavy heart.

"Good, this mission will take you to Giza, Egypt. Vlad is in a temple beneath the Great Sphinx, it is there where he will attempt to free Abramelin, you must stop him at all costs," he said as he handed us a papyrus scroll, "You will need this to enter the temple, good luck," he said as he opened a portal and we left.

When we came out on the other side, we found ourselves, directly in front of Khufu's pyramid.

"I can hardly believe we're in Egypt," Ray said amazed at the sight before us.

"I heard aliens built them," Peter says as we all scowl at him except Danny.

"Is something wrong Danny?" Winston asked the kid worriedly noticing a heavy heart in him.

"I'm just a little scared Mr. Zeddmore," Danny admits looking at the sight before, "I couldn't find my sister Danielle and I'm worried about her," he says sadly.

"Don't worry kid; she's in the ECU safe and sound. Besides you're with the Ghostbusters, if there's one thing we do a lot of, it's look death in the eye. You have nothing to worry about," Peter said as he placed a hand on Danny's shoulder as the child smiled back.

"According to Clockwork, the entrance to the chamber should be in front of the Sphinx," I said as we left the pyramid for its silent guardian.

I take out the papyrus were given and study it, "If we match up the colored glyphs on this scroll to the ones on this stele, the door will open," I tell them as I walk up to the stone tablet and follow the directions given to us and place my hand on the tablet.

Slowly, the glyphs began to glow and the tablet rise revealing a hidden passage that seems to go on forever.

"Well what are we waiting for gentlemen, let's go fry us a ghost," Peter says as we enter the passage and begin our mission.

Danni

I'm so weak this torture seems like it could goes on forever and every time I think death will come and free me Nocturne starts the dream again and am forced to relive my terror.

I look at my reflection in the brackish water I was given to drink, "MMMMM," I mumble as I realize it's hopeless but then something happens.



Suddenly, the ectoplasm falls off my face and I gasp for breath, "What's happening?" I ask myself as I slowly come to the realization that I am gaining control of the dream. "Of course, I'm lucid dreaming now," I tell myself smiling as I close my eyes and imagine the stone around me cracking as my muscles grow stronger.

I feel the stone crack and I pull myself up as Freakshow comes back in, "YOU! How did you get free," he shouts as he blasts me with his staff but I block it.

"Sorry, Freak, I'm in control of this dream, Nocturne may have created it but I am the one in control," I told him smiling as I closed my eyes and felt my grow, "Cool, just like New Super Mario Brothers," I said as I opened my eyes and saw I was that I was like a skyscraper.

"Let see you how you like being in a cage Freakshow," I told him as I picked him up and imagined a maximum security prison. I shoved him the cage and flew away, "now for Nocturne," I said searching for the fiend who left me here.

Janine

"I think we reached the Far Frozen," I tell Louis and Miles as I see a frozen expanse in front of us.

"Now how do find this Frostbite," Louis asks me as I looked for signs for life. Sudden he began nervous, "uh Janine," he says as I silence him.

Suddenly, I feel a weapon pointed at me, "hey what's the…," I shout before I see several large yeti like creatures with yellow eyes in front of us. I also noticed their left arms were made of ice and you could see the bones in them.

"Who are you?" one of them asks angrily.

"We are friends of Daniel, we are looking for his sister," I tell them as they look at us bow.

"Forgive us, we shall take you to Frostbite," the creature said as they lead us across the vastness until we come to a cave, "in here," the creature say as we walk deeper into the cave until we come to a throne where another yeti sits.

"Guards who are these travelers?" the yeti, who I assume is Frostbite, asks as we approach his throne.

"These are friends of the great one," his servants say as he smiles.

"Welcome, friends what can I do for you," he asks as he stands up.

"We are searching for Daniel's sister, we were told you had a map that could help us," I tell him as he nods and beckons us to follow him.

We do so until he stops at a vault and opens it, "Behold the Infi-Map," he says handing it to us, "Just tell it where you need to go and it will take you there, just make sure to return when you're done," he said as he gave it us and I unrolled it.



"Thank you," I tell him turning to the map and say, "take us to Danni Phantom," I say as the map opens a vortex and whisks us away.
