Kichi! I thought I should have only been up to thhird installment by now-I'm doing the fifth! Wow, you guys like this story! You'd love Interview with the Vampire, by Anne Rice!

We get into the real plot where Dark Danny has something he can really confess. Events unfold and the plot thickens. When you next watch the movie The Ultimate Enemy; keep my story in mind, because it may surprise you.

Chapter Four:

"Twelve years ago, I was the product of a freak accident. I'm basically a chain of events that were beyond anyone's control…but this one could have changed…I was pressured, confused, and in need of an easy A. Not just any A, but one on the CAT.

"There were two explosions, many people seem to forget that.

"We had nothing to with the first one. In fact, I remembered watching it on TV with Jazz just as Danny had given up on studying. She put a hand on our shoulder and said 'How horrible, Danny! It's lucky no one got hurt!'

"He just shrugged her off and said, 'yeah, yeah, wonderful' before storming to his room. He threw himself on the bed and forced himself into a trance.

" 'PHANTOM!' he screamed. (He addressed me by my last name then," he added.

"What did Vlad address you as?" interrogated ClockWork.

"Oh, 'you useless bastard' or 'weak little prick'," he named these casually on his fingers," And, my favorite, 'Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ! You're a hopeless, miserable, ignorant son-of-a-bitch! '" a smile met Dark Danny's lips," You can see we got along on good terms, Vlad and I.")

" 'Yes?' I answered, floating through the red void that backgrounded the scene. I met him in scenery of a black starry sky above and dreaming Amity Park. The moon was full and glowed a beautiful silvery-white-for the moment.' Something wrong?'

" 'IT'S NOT FAIR!' he shrieked. His suit, the inverse of mine (White with a black collar, belt, gloves, and boots), at the time, glowed with a blue tint under the moon,' How can I fight ghosts and study for the CAT! I don't have a chance because I'm a crime-fighting freak! I WON'T HAVE A FUTURE IN ANYTHING BECAUSE OF THESE DAMN GHOSTS!'

"I blinked at him as he thrashed about and at no one. Normally, I would have consoled him, and he probably expected it, too, which is why he came to me. But he had crossed a line.

" 'I make you a freak...?' I said abruptly

"He stopped his tantrum for a moment, staring blankly at me. He did not expect this reaction,' What?'

"I stared at his sapphire eyes (The only part of his silhouetted figure I could see against the moon) and said again,' I-make-you-a-freak?'

" 'I...I didn't mean it like that-'

" 'I'm sorry I ruined your life!' I snapped, cutting him off, 'I guess I speak for all us "Damn Ghosts!" ' "

Dark Danny Sighed.

"The moon in our little dream world was becoming blood red. A flood of darkness overwhelmed Amity Park. An eclipse, it seemed, was the cause.

" 'I didn't mean to be created! I didn't mean to ruin your life! And I wish you'd open your eyes to-'I stopped then. As I looked down at Danny, who was slowly loosing altitude, he looked... he was... frightened. I'm not sure what happened to my physical form in the trance, but he was cowering away from me.

" 'What's wrong?' I asked, floating towards him, a hand outstretched to meet his shoulder. He only retreated further.

" 'G-get away! I'm warning you!'

" 'Warning me...?" I said, puzzled.

" 'That's right!' he said, 'I-I'll-' Somehow, it dawned on him then that he was powerless to 'Go Ghost'. 'Just get away!'

"'I'm not going to-' but he cut me off.

"'I'm outta here! Leave me alone!' And our connection was broken."

Again, he heaved a sigh, and his whole world seemed to weigh Dark Danny's shoulders, "There was only one other time he looked at me like he did that night..."

ClockWork said something, but the evil surrogate paid him no mind.

"When he awoke, he decided he would not risk another outburst like that again from me. He couldn't let his stress control him again...he was beginning to suspect me to be dangerous. So, he stole the answered to the CAT as protection, but he goofed up. As we left his office, our powers short-circuited just outside his door and we knocked over a trashcan, which drew his attention to us. He must have seen us running off...

"He told Jazz so she could dissuade Danny, but he didn't listen. He accused her of invading his privacy, threatened her to stay out of his life, and kicked her out of his room." Dark Danny closed his eyes. He felt as if the ticking clocks signaled an eventual time bomb, because he felt the doom and dread all coming back to him.

He kept his eyes closed as he recited their next trance," 'You're being unreasonable!' I said. This time, our dream world was the classroom. I was chained to the desk he would soon be taking the CAT in, and struggling to break the bonds. 'I'm calm and I'm stable!' It was Danny who was the frantic one.

" 'No, you're not!' he retorted, pointing a finger to my heart, 'You're dangerous, whether you'll admit it or not, and you need to be kept under control!' he hovered over to Lancer's desk, 'My stress is doing this to you, and I'm sorry you got caught up in this, but you could have killed me yesterday!'

" 'I WAS NOT GOING TO KILL YOU!' I howled, 'I'd NEVER kill you! Why would I?' I struggled still against the chains, which were beginning to bruise my wrists.

"He shook his head, 'I dunno, Phantom, but you changed. Last night...you weren't yourself.'

" 'FINE!' said I, 'Throw your life away! Get caught! Lancer saw us take the answers; he knows you're going to cheat! I'm trying to warn you, I can feel something bad is about to happen!'

" 'Oh, please,' he rolled his eyes, 'what could possibly happen? It's just a test!'

" 'If it's 'just a test', then why cheat?'

"I cut our trance short."

Finally, the phantom opened his eyes.

"Because that woke him up, he decided to study the answers, trying to knock my warning from his memory. He memorized every single one...D...C...D...A...B...D...C...B...like a sick little rhyme, almost. He got a perfect score, but that only proved he had cheated.

"Mr. Lancer called up Mother, Father, Jazz and I around 8:00 'o clock...S-Sam and Tucker came to defend us, but it was too late to save him...or any of them.

"Maddie and Jack sent us to the Fenton Assault Vehicle while they talked with Mr. Lancer...all six of them got into a huge disagreement over Danny. As he waited in the car, feeling guilty and alone, I whispered 'I told you so' in his ear. He simply ignored me.

"Quicker than thought, there was an explosion that sent a ripple through all of Amity Park and knocked the RV on its side. Mostly unharmed, thanks to intangibility, we managed out...

"But they were all dead…

"Danny ran out, screaming like a madman at the top of his lungs. Bystanders called for an ambulance, a police car, a fire truck, anything, but we knew that couldn't save them. There was no bit left of them…" He ran a hand through his hair, fingering the spot where his hair formed a dent, "Except…the band.

"Finally, driven by tears and rage, he dropped to his knees, bloodying his fists and forehead on the sharp rocks he struck when he refused to cease beating his head against the ground. His hair was covered in mud and sweat, and his clothes were also soiled. He forced the consciousness out of himself as he whispered:

" 'Please, Phantom...please, don't say, "I told you so…" ' "
