"Oh, oh, yeah, yes, yes, no, no, yes, yes, almost, almost there, YES!" Jacob jumped out of the control chair and immediately started to do a victory dance as the screen said 'You win!' "Yes, new high score,"

"Impressive, especially since you're the only one playing," A voice said smugly. Jacob immediately stopped at that and turned to see his uncle, leaning against the doorway, looking all smug. He immediately blushed,

"Har, har," Dan just rolled his eyes and then started to leave. "Hey, what am I supposed to do?" Jacob asked.

Dan stopped at that and turned to face him, "My home is your home, you may do whatever you wish. There are some rules, but I doubt if they are different from the ones your parents have and there are a few rooms that are off-limits, mainly my bedroom," Jacob rolled his eyes at that.

"But, other than that, you're free to do whatever you wish, just ask someone or tell someone and if it is not something no one would do and within their power, they will." Dan said as he left, leaving Jacob confused to say the least.

Two Weeks later:

Dan moaned as he clutched his burning stomach. Things were not going his way. He had lost the battle between him and the rebels and had called for the immediate evacuation of all bases under his control and of his people. Now I just hope the councils survived and find them. He thought as he suddenly ducked as three anti-ghost blasts rocked his hiding space. Great, just great, He muttered as he turned intangible and invisible and ran out of the hiding space. He turned and saw his parents, family and friends,

"Ah, sxveli" (1) He muttered as he turned visible and flew off. "There he is!" He heard his mother yell as he sighed. Suddenly, one of the rebels appeared and before Dan could see anything, hit him right in the head. "Oh," Dan groaned as he blasted the rebel to pieces and found that he had landed on the ground. "Oh, great…" Suddenly he was electrocuted. Groaning in pain, he raised a shield to shield him from the next blasts and turned to see his loved ones again. Can't they leave me alone?

"Ho, fek, filo da a… Lasi me iri,"(2) Dan yelled as he felt an anti-ghost web fall on top of him. "Shut it you stupid ghost," Valerie yelled as she electrocuted him again. Dan just growled as he ripped through the net and flew up away from them. However, they all fired at him over and over again, as he attempted to dodge, but there was too many. Dan yelled out in pain and against his will, turned human and fainted right in front of him.

He heard his loved ones gasp, but couldn't do anything as they grabbed him and headed towards Fenton Works. Dan suddenly woke up and found himself in his parent's basement with anti-ghost chains all around him. "What?" He asked. "Good, you're awake," A voice said suddenly and Dan immediately turned to see his parents stepping out of the shadows. He gasped and then closing his eyes brought his head down to look at the floor. I have failed. "Why are you doing this?" He asked. "Because you're a ghost, now shut up," Jack said smiling as the two started to cut Dan open.

Line Break again...

Dan soon woke up and looked around sighing when he found himself in his home in his room. He had that nightmare for years now, it still bugged him, but he was use to it by now. He then sighed and stood up and went through the process of getting ready for his day. Since his nephew came, he had spent time with Jacob and actually learned about him and was able to teach him how to not get on Cujo's bad side.

Actually, Jacob was the only one that Dan actually knew of his nephew's or nieces. It was sad that he didn't know anything when their parents use to be very close with him at least until… Dan shook his head as he finished changing into black pants, black shoes, and a white shirt with his black jacket. He would be wearing his silver on with Phantom's emblem on the collar and the back, but with his nephew around, he couldn't risk it. He sighed again, while he was enjoying the kid's company, actually and learning a lot about him. The kid was 14. He wouldn't shut up when he started. Jacob was learning next to nothing about him.

There is nothing I can do about that, Dan thought as he left his room and entered the dining room, where his chef had already made and set out his breakfast and where Thomas had gotten the newspaper and the computer pad where everything new that had happened in the zone and in the human zone was on. He sighed, getting up at this time in the past would have been murder for him, but now because of his nightmares he found that he couldn't fall to sleep after one and always woke up at about 5:00 am every day.

It was beyond annoying and he hated that many of the people who worked for him to be up at that time. He had attempted to tell them that he could do everything himself, but they wouldn't hear any of it. So, as their boss, he forced them to at least take three days off. The world wouldn't fall apart if they took a single day off and they had to agree with that, other than with Thomas and Walter. Dan sighed again as he thought about the two overprotective men.

To make a long story, short, Dan had gone to Columbia Law School after getting in somehow and after his business degree. He had gone to the college and was still a week early before classes started and thought that walking around the campus wouldn't cause any problems. He was wrong. He found Thomas and Walter limping back to their room. Well, being the person that Dan was, he immediately went to help them despite what they wanted. He blew it off and helped get them both to the nurse's office. It was there that Dan found out what happened. There at the nurse's were Thomas and Walter's fathers, who both had guns. Dan's eyes went very cold at that, but it wasn't until Thomas's father said,

Flashback:

"So now you're going to get help? I told you not to!" He yelled. Thomas and Walter immediately went white with fear as Dan moved between them and their fathers.

"Who's this?" One of them asked as they both aimed, as the nurse yelled out in shock, at Dan. "Move,"

"Or," Dan asked smirking. "We'll shoot," They said.

"Now, there is no reason for that, how about we just…" A gun went off as Thomas began to speak, however as everyone thought that someone would fall, no one did. "Well, that was impressive," Dan said as he unclenched his hand and the single bullet fell out and landed on the ground.

"Now, that the violence is out of the way, may we speak," Dan asked as everyone looked at him shock, until the nurse realized and then gasped. Dan nodded very slightly at her as she smiled and then left. The fathers were too focused on Dan to notice it. "No, we may not. Our kids have done more than enough and…"

"And are you threatening them?" Dan asked in a cold voice, eyes going green. "And what if we are?" They asked. "Then I know you're going to jail,"

"Not if there aren't any witnesses," One of them said as they both fired at Dan. However, a green shield appeared and protected Dan and the others from every last bullet until the two stopped.

Dan 'tsked', "Wrong move, especially against someone like me," He said as the bullets fell to the ground to join the first one. The two men were looking at him shocked as two men dressed in white suits appeared behind them in the shadows. Dan smirked at that, "Now are you ready to talk," The two fathers threw their weapons to the ground and then cracked their knuckles.

"No," Dan shook his head, "Then so be it," He said as the blue ring appeared at his mid-line and transformed him into Phantom. The Ring of Rage glowed brightly on his finger, while the Crown of Fire glowed brightly on his head, a black and white cape finished the outfit as Thomas and Walter looked at him shocked, but smiling. The two fathers, however, were scared stupid as Dan just smirked and fired very weak ecto-blasts at them, knocking them out cold. It was then that Agent A and Agent B of the GIW came out.

"Nice work, kid," Agent A smiled as he and Agent B cuffed the two.

Dan smiled at that and then turned to the two he had saved. "Are you two alright?" He asked. The two nodded and then smiled at Dan.

"Thank you," They smiled. Dan smiled back as he changed back human.

End Flashback

It was after that the three became great friends and their father's cases was the first cases that Dan took during his college years and both are still in jail for their crimes. Now both Thomas and Walter had Law degrees, but wanted to work for Dan and as they said 'repay' their debt they think they owe to Dan.

Dan immediately said they didn't, but they wouldn't hear a thing about it. Dan sighed as he started to read the data pad. Looks like today's going to be a slow day, he thought as he continued to eat and read.

Alright...Here is Chapter 12. However, this will be the last update on most of the stories for the next two weeks. Unless I somehow get chapter 13 done by Wednesday. On Thursday, until Sunday, I will be out of town and at a hotel. You can never tell with a hotel's internet, so who knows.

Second, week of thanksgiving, I hope to finish all of my college essays and other things, so updating will be at the back of my mind. But...I will be checking up on my stories. If I can get double the reviews on all of my stories by the end of thanksgiving, then I promise to update at least three chapters on all of my stories.

Until then I will bid good-bye. :)

P.S. if you have an Esperanto to English converter, then you can find out what Dan is saying in Esperanto, but for those that are the weak of heart, don't. I can already say it's not good.
