Timmy gazed around at the green swirls of the unreal place around him. It was, in short breathtaking. Timmy, the ever loving comic book and sci fi lover who had adventures in space, on different planets and different dimensions and worlds was impressed beyond words with the realm he was in now.

Danny noted his amazement and gave his younger charge a smaller smile. "It's kinda pretty in a weird way isn't it?" he asked him softly.

Timmy nodded, then shivered slightly, "But also kinda creepy."

Danny nodded and turned his glowing green gaze back to where Skulker was. "Yeah, I said that the first time I got here."

Skulker looked back at them and scowled. "We're almost there," he said in a low voice.

Danny and Timmy gasped simultaneously as the ghostly City loomed in the distance. It glowed an unearthly green and gave off some kind of energy that Danny had never felt before, but he guessed it made sense since ghosts really couldn't use electricity. He figured it must have been a spectral energy of some kind because it was very low.

They flew into the city and Danny saw ghosts of all ages, ethnicities and various walks of life stare up at him with an almost pleading look in their hollow eyes. Danny looked down for only a few minutes before he couldn't stand the begging look he was receiving from the people and he focused on Skulker's back.

"They look horrible," Wanda said only loud enough for Danny, Timmy and Cosmo to hear.

"Yeah…" Danny said in a far away voice.

Even Timmy and Cosmo were somewhat put out.

"This way, ghost child," Skulker growled and flew straight to a tall building. He pointed at it, "In there," he said.

"Can't you go in?" Danny asked.

"Do you see a door?" Skulker asked.

Danny looked at the building and for the first time he realized that none of the building's there had doors or really windows at all. They were just great slabs of pale glowing green concrete rising into the non existent sky of the Ghost Zone. "I have to phase through?" Danny asked.

"Aren't you smart?" Skulker asked sarcastically.

Danny threw him a dirty look and went into the building. "So that means there are tons of ghosts trapped in these buildings…" Timmy said softly, his voice trailing off.

Danny looked rather upset but didn't say anything to answer or acknowledge Timmy's comment.

Danny flew on a floor that looked empty so he went intangible and flew into the floor beneath him. There was no one there either so he flew further and further down until he hit what he assumed was the bottom. Down there was a dimly lit room with a table and five ghosts sitting around it. They all started to murmur excitedly when Danny came in and Danny heard the word "Halfa" repeated several times.

"Danny?" Timmy asked Danny softly.

"It's all right," Danny said and landed.

Timmy jumped off his back and Danny cleared his throat. "Um, hello?" he asked.

The man in the middle smiled warmly and stood up. He was obviously very old when he died but he was no one Danny could recognize. "Hello, young Halfa, and guest," he added while eyeing Timmy. Timmy crossed his arms but the man continued anyways, "I am Robert and that is what you may call me. I am the head of the ghost council of Spectral."

He stopped talking and Danny vaguely wondered if he was supposed to say something, but instead the man just plowed on.

"I thank you for helping us in our time of need. Even if you've had some rather…" he smiled, "Questionable, shall we say previous experiences in the Ghost Zone."

Danny opened his mouth angrily to protest but the man held up his hand and continued before Danny could say anything.

"Now, the large energy stealing ghost was last seen on the outskirts of the city heading south. Once again we thank you and, if you succeed all previous accusations by the Police Headman Walker shall be dropped."

Danny murmured a hasty; "Thanks" then picked up Timmy and flew out of the building.

"That was creepy," Timmy said softly.

"I have no idea why we had to go there," Danny said.

"Sweetie, I hate to say this," Wanda said, "But they probably wanted you to know that they are the ones in charge. It's a way for them to proclaim their power."

Danny sighed and he knew she was probably right. "Well, we're about to go after the gargantuan Ghost with an invention of my Dad's that probably doesn't work and nothing but 20 miles of Ghost Zone between here and my portal. Is everyone set?"

Timmy's eyes glittered with excitement, "Always," he grinned.

Danny sighed; he wished he had Timmy's confidence.

"This will be fun," Cosmo said cheerfully, "Wheeeee!"

Wanda just gave Danny a comforting smile as they slowly flew south.

Danny flew slow and to the ground the more and more further they got away from the city, finally it loomed ahead of them, tall green and massive. "There it is!" Timmy said pointing.

"Shhh," Danny said, "I see."

"Don't worry, we'll win!" Timmy said with confidence.

Danny gave Timmy a half hearted smile. "Yeah," he said without really feeling it.

The Gargantuan Ghost turned its formless head towards Danny. Danny put Timmy on the ground and flew up to face it.

It gave something akin to a grin and held up its arm. Danny got ready to parry feeling his dad's invention beat against his thigh. It was all down to this moment with hundreds of ghosts riding on this fight.

Nothing like a little pressure.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Sorry for the painfully short chapter but I'm exhausted. I have one uber long chapter left for this. Thanks for sticking through with me this whole time :3
