Chapter 3: Lost Soul

Beep...Beep...Beep...Beep... The heart monitor in the hospital monitored a 14 year old boys heart rate...

"Danny..."

"Please wake up Danny..."

'Sam? Is that you? SAM!!!'

Danny lifted his head slowly from the pavement. He stood up slowly and looked around.

"Where am I? What is this place...Am I...dead?" Danny found himself in the strangest place he had ever seen in his entire life. In front of him were two large golden gates, leading to who knows where.

He walked slowly toward them and as he did, they opened to reveal a sort of wonderland. Pink and purple clouds, slides and roller coasters, every kids dream world sort of place, all sorts of diffrent candy everywhere, and as he got closer, he realized everyone had wings.

"Yep...definitely not at Casper high anymore...I must be dead..."

"Well actually...maybe not..." A tall boy, about Danny's age came up to him. He like everyone else there had wings and was wearing a long robe. His hair was a sandy brown and was cut sort of shaggy.

"Hey, what is this place?" Danny asked. The boy almost started laughing at the question. Danny noticed that while the boy had wings his wings were not the same color as the other angels, actually his wings were navy blue, as was his robes.

"Where do you think? You're in heaven Bub. So whatch' ya name? I'm Suzuki."

"H-Heaven?"

"Yea...Heaven, that's what I said, now what's your name, I gotta make sure I got the right guy."

"D-Danny, Danny Fenton...So...You're...I mean...Dead?"

"Yea, I'm dead... what's it to ya?"

"Nothing, I mean...that means I'm dead too...I think..."

"Well, maybe not...actually I was sent here to sort of pick you up, ya see, you kind of threw the big guy for a loop, he doesn't know what to do with you actually..."

"So you mean I might not be dead? Like I could go home or something?"

"I don't know, that's why you have to come with me so we can go talk to the big guy."

"Uh...sure, ok why not..."

"So, can I ask you a question?" Danny asked later on after they had been walking in silence for awhile.

"Shoot."

"Ok, why are your wings uh..." Danny started trying to think of the right words.

"Different?" Suzuki finished.

"Yea."

"Well, actually there are 3 of us. We are elite Angels who watch over the earth and all it's people. While regular angels watch over just their own families and friends, It's our duty to watch over everyone." Suzuki said simply as he winked and stuck out his tongue. "I guess you could say we're super guardian angels." He said with a small chuckle. "or maybe dead life savers. Or even..."

"I get the point." Danny said dryly. Suzuki smiled and cleared his throat.

"Right...ok, so I'm just dying to know...excuse the pun...what's it like?" Suzuki asked. His hands were both behind his head as they walked.

"What's what like?" Danny cocked an eyebrow.

"What's it like to...live and be a ghost at the same time?" He asked looking over at Danny.

"How did you..."
"Know? Well, all three of us know about you, you see the ghosts that come out from the ghost portal at your house is actually a door out for any one going to hell. You with me so far?"

"Uh...not exactly..."

"Okay, I'll talk slower for ya. There are many levels of after life,

there is heaven,

then just below that is limbo,

then there's the spirit world,

then there is reincarnation,

and then there's hell.

Most people start out in limbo, then they got to go to spirit world where it is determined where they should go, only a select few get reincarnated, most either go to heaven or hell.

The portal your father made fits in right about where spirit world and hell connect, so for anyone who is suppost to go to hell, gets a free ticket out. Did ja get all that champ?"

"Uh, yea sure..." Danny said as he tried to make sense of it all in his head

"So all that aside, what's it like?"

"Well...it's..."

"Oh, wait, we'll have to put this conversation on hold, we're here."

Danny looked in front of him and realized he was standing in front of another huge pair of gates.

"Allie! Open the door!" Suzuki yelled.

"What's the password?" Someone Danny couldn't see yelled back.

"ALLIE! It's me Suzuki just open the door, I got Danny Phantom! Come on open up!"

"Seriously?? He's really with you?!" The childish voice yelled back.

"Dang it Allie! Just open the freakin' doors!"

"Oh all right! Ya big bully, you should try being more patient!!"

The two gigantic doors slowly creaked open to reveal a petite girl, probably about 9 years old jumping up and down waiting for Suzuki and Danny to come in the gates.

"HELLO!!! I...I'm Allie! Actually my real name is Alisontra, but everyone calls me Allie for short." She said quickly. Her wings, like Suzuki were not white, but a hot pink, and so was her robe. She had long waist length dirty-blond hair, and by what Danny could already tell, a very hyper little girl.

"Hi Allie...Um, I'm..."

"Danny I know!" She interrupted, her wings twitching with excitement.

"Ok, come on, we have to go now...bye Allie!" Suzuki said as he started to walk away.
"I'm coming too!" Allie yelled

"No you're not, you have to watch the gates, stay here Alisontra!" Suzuki said firmly.

"But Suzuki!!! I wanna go!!! Palllleeaaase!!!!????"

"Alisontra, I said no, I am your commanding officer, now, stay here and watch the gates, understand!?"

"Yes..." She said sadly.

"Good, come on Danny...we gotta go."

"So, are you the commanding officer of all three of you?" Danny asked.

"No actually, I'm third in command, to be honest, Alisontra is actually above me in rank, but it's because she is so young and well, you saw how she acts, that's why I am allowed to command her."

"Your rank is actually determined by how you acted and what you did in the previous life, if you go by that, Alisontra is my commanding officer, and as soon as she becomes a little more mature, she will take that position in the ranks."

"oh..."

"Room 248 just flat lined!"

"Danny!!! No please! DANNY!"

"Clear!....Beep...Beep....Beep..."

Hey, you ok?" Suzuki asked Danny as they walked down the path towards the magnificent castle before them.

Danny was breathing hard and his whole body shook and he grabbed a hold of his chest.

"Hey! Hang on!"

Danny fell to his knees, his heart felt like it was about to burst.

The next thing he realized was that he was up in the air getting closer and closer to the castle, in the arms of...

"Sam?" Danny said as he was waking up.

"My name is Risa." she said rather testily. Her hair was raven black and was cut only to her shoulders. Her wings and robe were Bright red.

'I could have sworn I heard Sam calling me...'

"Where's Suzuki?" Danny asked groggily, becoming a little more aware of his surroundings.

"Right beside you." Danny looked over to his left, and sure enough, there he was..

"Hey Danny, you ok? Ya kind of scared us there..." Suzuki said.

"Stop acting like you're clueless Suzuki, you know he doesn't have much time left."

"Risa! Don't..." Suzuki started.

"He has a right to know." Risa said calmly.

"Danny, that snake that came out of the portal, the one that bit you, it was poisonous, and though you are not dead yet, if we can't get you the antidote quick enough you will be."

"S-So do you have the antidote?" Danny asked, knowing the answer was probably one he wasn't going to like.

Risa shook her head solemnly. Her hair got into her eyes slightly but then perfectly laid back down on her shoulders.

"So, can't we just go get it?" Danny asked hopefully.

"It's not that simple, first, you must get bitten by the snake once again, then you must go to the spirit world where you will find a fruit called shiribi. You will eat half of this fruit and rub the other half over the bite. Only then will you be able to drink the antidote, or the antidote would surely kill you, as it would any mortal that would try. And you must do all of this before the venom that is in your veins and the new venom that will be attacks your heart."

"How long do I have?"

"It's never for certain, some people have stronger will than others, some are stronger than others, but I would have to say, no longer than 2 days."
