Spectra awoke to find herself in a tank, the substance holding her in place also seeming to drain her powers. She moved her head a bit to look down at her hands, the worry that her powers were being taken just a minor issue, but the fact that those powers also kept her young after she drained a young adult or teen. Her face paled when she saw that she was indeed aging, the once firm skin on her hand now saggy and liver spotted. She felt frustration and fear at this revelation. She would die in this tank, her lifeforce shoved out of her ghost form. Could you kill a ghost? She wasn't sure as she had never heard of such a thing happening, but then again there were millions of unknowns out there so who was to say you couldn't? The door to her room swished open, the room outside of her cage dark with the lights out, those same lights coming on slowly to reveal the two operatives appearing before her with smirks. Her eyes narrowed at them, but her strength was connected to her powers so that slight movement of muscles made her feel lethargic.
"Well, Spectra," Operative O said as he moved toward her, papers in his hands. "Seems that the young female that you almost killed is alive, barely, but she is now awake and she seems to know so much about you and what you did." The other male with him, Operative K walked over to join his partner, more papers in his hand. "And to top it off we have more then enough to put your little boss away for the rest of his life." She wanted to smirk at that because while they might have an idea about what was going on it would be hard to detain the ghostly male. "We are aware of him being a half ghost," the male stated as he slammed a picture against her glass cell. The substance holding her in place made it hard to see what they were showing her, but at his next words she forced herself to move closer so she could see. "We will be assisting in the removal of that ghost once our newest invention shows us that he is what the Fentons are claiming." The image was off of a security camera, that much was certain with the date and time portrayed on the corner, the red head taking in the fact that it showed her with Vlad over the female cowering away from her and into the male that was holding her captive. She could even see Ember in the picture, the rocker in the middle of pulling out her guitar.
"We have a few questions about who else was you, but only the teal haired child since she is the only one of concern with her power to control others." The ghost in the cell was concerned, the fact that they knew what each of them were capable of. That meant that they weren't lying when they said the girl was awake, though she had been sure that the girl would either have a memory wipe from all her energy draining or even from the control of Ember, but it seemed that the girl remembered enough and to add onto that there was video footage in the house! How had Vlad not been aware of that?! He lived in that house and yet there were cameras! She wondered if those cameras had ever caught him transforming, though it was pretty obvious that if that were the case then these two humans wouldn't be looking to prove it and so she kept her mouth shut.
"Ah, so you don't want to talk about how you were planning to kill that child?" Operative O asked with a raised brow. "Not that it will matter in a matter of hours, right? We may not know much about ghosts, but we know enough to weaken you... maybe even kill you once that energy that keeps you going is gone..." He shrugged as he turned to his partner. "Though we maybe able to allow you to live if you just give up the ghost." They were telling her that is was possible that they could kill her by keeping her in this fish tank? They had never done it before, that was certain by his words, but she had never run into these males before so she wasn't sure if they were being truthful with their words. "Just remember that we gave you a chance, not that your boss seems to care since he implied that he had nothing to do with this, didn't' he say that K?"
"He did say that he was just a human," the other male stated, his eyes downcast as he looked thru a few sheets. "He implied that he didn't know that ghosts were controlling the girl and that the only reason that he didn't take her to the hospital was that he just thought she was upset by all that had happened." He looked up, his eyes shuttered. "That the girl had just lost her newest friend on top of her family dying." He waved it off as he turned away, the other operative walking closer to where his partner was. "Guess we did all that we could, but then again I guess no one would miss a ghost." They had only taken a few steps when the ghost behind them called out.
"Wait, I will talk," she said, her voice harsh as she glared at them. Just because she was going to talk to save herself didn't mean that she was happy about it. The two men didn't care as they smirked for a second before turning to look at her with such blank looks. "The one that you are looking for is called Ember."
Said ghost was wandering around the Ghost Zone, her teal eyes on the lookout for the one that she was sure would escape and come and find her, the rocker wishing that she had a real place to hide, but the fact was that Vlad knew enough about the Zone to find her if he escaped. Just as she reached the area where the hunter ghost called Skulker lived a natural portal opened to reveal... "OMG! Spectra!?" the teal haired female cried when she saw the aged red head, her hair no longer just red as grey seemed to interweave in the blood red strands. "How did you escape? Why do you look so old?" The green eyes of the red headed female narrowed, her disgust with her own appearance making her reach out to grab the other female by the neck.
"I promised those fucking humans to bring you back," she hissed, her fingers tightening. "I'm not really free until then." Ember fought her, her fingers leaving marks on the pale skin of Spectra's own hands. The fear was apparent in her teal gaze. "You abandoned me and then that fucking male that promised that girl's life sold me out! He claimed that we were the ones responsible for this and that he didn't know a god damned thing!"
"W-Why ar-ren't you-u af-fter him then-en?" the rocker managed to wheeze out.
"Because he is already about to find himself in a hell that he will beg to be freed from," the red head stated, her skin sagging more just as a blast struck her from behind. As Ember was released from the slackened hold of the woman growling as she turned to see who had struck her. To both of their surprise the one that stood before them, the gun still smoking on his wrist, was Skulker. The hunter had never been known to strike unless it benefited him so why had he saved the teal girl. "What the hell, hunter?!" the aging woman screamed in rage.
"I heard you speak of the white haired human, the one that is a half ghost," the metallic ghost stated. "I want his head on my mantel! No one has ever seen a halfa and I want that kill!" She blinked, her mission the only thing that was keeping her alive, a tracker on her body keeping her from using her powers... hell, it was draining her power, just slower than the tank had been doing and if she didn't come back in a few hours she would be too drained to do much but lay there. Those words about it possibly killing her prompting her to turn her attention back on her target.
"You can come, but unless I bring her back my life is forfeit," she spat, reaching out to grab the teal haired girl just as another natural portal opened in the distance. Dragging the rocker by her hair the red headed female headed for the portal, the hunter following behind her.
The GIW were standing before Vlad, the male looking a little worried as two other agents stood by some controls, his body locked in a tank similar to the one that had held Spectra, save for their being no liquid holding him in. His blue eyes narrowed at the pair of Operatives before him, hoping to look terrifying, but once one of the other males in the room flicked a switch, the sound loud in the silent room. His scream filled that silence, the white haired male fighting against the change that was being forced upon him, his blue eyes flashing red for a moment as the lights in the room dimmed and flickered before coming back on.
"You can fight all you want," Operative K stated with a satisfied smirk as they all watched the male attempt to keep from changing, his body flickering to his other form as his hair changed to black. His skin continued to change, the blue of death reverting to a healthy skin tone before going back to his dead form. "We can already see that the Fentons were correct in their claims."
"Nooooooo!" Vlad screamed as his body started to give, his change a hard thing to fight no matter how many years he had been a half ghost. Just as his body reverted to his ghost half the wall behind the two agents standing before the large tank started to shake, a warning going off as sirens flared brightly.
Warning! Warning! There has been a breech in sector 2! The agents in the room looked at each other in confusion. They were in section two! The wall behind Operatives K and O burst open, the rubble blowing the two off their feet, the halfa in the tank still screaming as he was forced into his ghost form, unaware of what was going on around him and what had happened, his red eyes opening to reveal the red orbs. As the smoke was clearing the three that had entered the space walked forward, the red head still holding tightly onto her captive just as a blast came from the direction of the two other agents in the space. It struck Spectra, her body falling to the ground before it turned to dust, the dust flying back into Skulker's face, his green eyes on the male in the glass tank. He ignored the teal haired girl that took off, his own shields come up as another blast came from the same agent, the other one taking off to chase the rocker, his own weapon out.
"So, now I have you," the mechanical ghost stated as he reached out to touch the glass, the fragile material cracking under his touch. The sound was deafening, but as soon as Vlad was free he blasted at the ghost attempting to capture him. After the torture of being forced to transform his powers were too weak to do much, the green haired ghost smirking as he decapitated the other male, his head landing on the floor with a spat, the other agent stopped blasting at him in shock when the blood from the severed head began to seep across the floor. Grasping the black hair, the horns sagging slightly without the energy from its host. "I'm out." With that he walked away, the trail of blood unfollowed as the last agent in the room stood there in shock. The two operatives on the floor groaned as they awoke, surprise in their eyes as they looked around the area, both of them taking in the wreckage.
"What the hell happened?" O asked, his eyes wide as he looked to the male still by the controls.
"Our half ghost is dead," the male stated as he pointed to the dead body just inches from where the pair lay. Both looked to where he was pointing, disgust filling their gaze as well as defeat. They had had him and now he was gone.
