Danny flew hesitantly through the ghost zone, the doors floated around him and the greenish glow came from nowhere even though there was no apparent sun or source of light. "Uhhhh, guys, can I ask where we are going?" he asked after five minutes.

Spectra and Skulker looked at each to her then at Danny. Skulker sighed, "We're going to my underground lair."

"Wait, you have another lair?" Danny asked, then paused. "The ghost zone has a ground?" he added.

Skulker looked at Danny like he was an idiot. "Yes there is a ground. Or did you think that flat thing under us was the sky?" he asked sarcastically.

Spectra laughed and Danny blushed, "Well. I fly in here I didn't know."

Skulker rolled his eyes and didn't reply. Instead he flew silently along and took a 90 degree five right over a large lake that glowed a radioactive green.

"Okay, that does not look safe," said Danny.

Spectra gave him a withering look, "Are you a ghost?" she asked.

"I… guess," Danny answered.

"Then go intangible and fly through it!" she said.

"All right, all right, jeez," Danny said holding up his hands. He dived down and right before he hit the water he turned intangible. Even though he was intangible he felt tingles running through his body and decided he didn't want to know what the lake was filled with.

He came through the other end, or the "bottom" of the lake. He gasped as he came out and saw that it was a giant cavern. All of his enemies were there but didn't bat an eye at him. "Wow," he said simply.

Skulker gave him an almost friendly pat on the shoulder and said, "This is the rebellion center. Here we are planning our uprising against Plasmius."

Danny laughed and nervously rubbed his shoulder where Skulker had hit it. "And your plans are?" he asked.

"W-well, uhhh…" Skulker said.

Danny adopted an annoyed look, "You don't have one do you?" he asked.

Skulker cleared his throat and tried to look professional, "We were waiting for your input," he said diplomatically.

"I'm sure," Danny said dryly.

"Regardless, we need to plan something," said Ember coming up behind them.

Danny jumped in the air and spun around to see the rocker.

"Jumpy aren't ya, dipstick?" she asked.

Danny glared at her, "I just don't like being sneaked upon."

Ember shrugged and flew towards a tall grey building and Skulker and Spectra followed. Danny floated there, unsure of what to do. Ember sighed and turned around, "Are ya coming, dipstick?" she yelled.

Danny quickly caught up and floated alongside them to the building. "I do have a name you know," he said.

"What, inviso-Bill?" Ember smirked. This comment earned her laughs from the other two ghosts.

"Har, har, very funny," Danny said sarcastically.

"Don't worry, Daniel. We'll keep your reputation out of this," said Skulker.

Danny glared at him but didn't say anything.

They flew into the building and ghostly chatter reached Danny's ears. As soon as they came into view the talking quieted and Danny floated into his seat, the silence pressing on his ears. Skulker walked up to the podium and cleared his throat. "As you know already, we have gotten the younger halfa to join us. The saying "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" has more meaning then ever." There was a murmur of agreement in the crowd. Danny was amazed at how loyal the people seemed to be to Skulker. He personally thought the title "Ghost Zone's Greatest Hunter" would make people afraid of him, not respectful. But the world worked in odd ways.

There was a roar of approval from the crowd and Danny's wandering thoughts snapped back to attention. "We will take back our world!" yelled Skulker. This statement was greeted with another roar. "Good, now we will plan what we will do. The warrior know who they are, everyone else should return home."

With one final cheer the Ghostly Town Meeting adjourned and everyone started to flaot out of the building. Such a stranger sight Danny had never seen and he watched in awe as hundreds of ghosts streamed out of the grey building. Danny jumped as a hand was placed on his shoulder; he spun around to see the ghost of a woman in her mid-fifties. She smiled at him, "Thank you so much for what you are doing, young man. I fear this place is as close to heaven as I'll ever get. I know that you normally don't protect ghosts, but thank you very much."

Danny was speechless and instead nodded numbly at the woman, his green eyes wide. She nodded back and flew off. Danny watched her disappear and not long after he heard Skulker yell his name, or lack there of, "Hey Ghost Child!"

Danny sighed and flew over to Skulker, "Okay, same goes for you. My name is Danny, if you call me anything then call me Danny please."

Skulker raised an eyebrow, "Oh, so we're on a first name basis now?" he asked.

Danny sighed exasperatedly, "Okay, dine call me Phantom then. I don't care; just don't call me Ghost Child. First off I'm not a child and secondly I have a name."

Skulker chuckled at the rare sight of Danny showing his emotions to him. Sure he was cheeky sometimes but rarely so blunt. He decided he liked this particular facet of Danny's personality. "Very well, Daniel. I can call you that, right?" he asked.

"I guess," Danny said grudgingly.

"Good, and if you want you can call me Adam. In private," he added.

Danny blinked, "Uhhhh, Adam?"

"Sure!" Skulker said and started to fly out of the building and Danny flew to catch up. "You didn't think my real name was Skulker did you?" he asked.

"Actually, uhhh yes I did," Danny replied.

Skulker smiled, "I was once a human you know."

Danny stopped dead in his tracks, "No way."

Skulker turned around and crossed his arms. "Yes, I'm just a very old ghost. That's why I have so much respect, people in the ghost zone pass on after awhile or become another entity entirely, like Desiree. But I chose to stay here was the ultimate hunter, I could never let go of my collection. So after so many years of wear my ghost body degenerated into the blob you see today."

Danny blinked, "I had no idea."

Skulker frowned, "Ghosts were people once. I know this sounds weird coming from me but…"

"Not all ghosts are evil?" Danny supplied.

Skulker nodded, "Yeah, that's a good way to put it."

Danny smiled coyly. "To bad you're one of the evil ones."

Skulker laughed and flew towards a much smaller building. Danny followed and inside the building was the same group that talked to him in the forest. He got a few glares but the overall atmosphere was civil.

"Okay, we need to actually plan our attack," said Skulker.

Danny took another seat and looked up to a map of the ghost zone on the stage. It was much more detailed then his won and Danny made a mental note to copy it before he left. "Plasmius has taken over here, here," Skulker pointed to two general areas on the map. "And here," he pointed in the center.

There were a few boos in the small army and Danny wondered what Skulker had pointed too.

"Here," Skulker pointed to the center again, "is main city. He knows what he has and he will exploit it. Also I have learned that he is using the Trinsed Jewel for something."

Danny raised his hand like he was in school. Skulker sighed, "Yes?"

"What's the Trinsed Jewel?" he asked.

"It's a jewel make of concentrated ectoplasmic energy; it looks like a large emerald and is a dark green. It holds unknown powers and we think he might use it to either make himself stronger or power something else," Skulker explained.

Danny nodded and he continued, "Okay, now we need to somehow get that jewel back and take over the center of the capital."

Danny let Skulker's voice fade and started to come up with his own plan. He knew Skulker's idea wouldn't work, they just weren't strong enough. But how could they beat him? And without a direct confrontation, preferably. What they needed was time, and a trap of some kind.

"Daniel?" he heard his name spoken sharply.

He looked up at Skulker and smiled guiltily. "Are we boring you?" he asked.

"No, no, I'm just thinking of a way to beat him," said Danny quickly.

"That is?" Skulker asked.

"Well, we need to anticipate something he'll do and trap him there. I hate to say this but a head on confrontation would not be in our favor," Danny said.

"Well, what do you suggest we do?" asked Ember.

"Well," Danny racked his brain for an answer and didn't like the conclusion he came up with. "We could wet up a trap for him when he came to my world…" he said.
