Please read and review this story. I could always use tips for future stories. Just one thing when writing a review: do not tell me what to put in the story, what to take out, what to change, etc. I outlined this story and I know exactly what's going to happen when writing this, and nothing you say is going to change what I've planned.

It was a dark reach of the ghost zone. In the infinite abyss where ghosts were the only inhabitants, a looming fortress was hovering. Inside the fort, there was a lot of equipment, some used for torture and some were for convenience. There was a large computer that had any plans or information for the ghosts inhabiting that fortress. There was also a relatively large machine that could hook up to someone. Its purpose, however, was unknown. There was also a large system that could activate a shield around the fort that was impenetrable to pure ghosts.
Inside, there was a room where a ghost staring at a large screen. On the screen, there was an image of a ghost battling other ghosts. The person fighting seemed to be no older than fourteen, but he was beating the other ghosts around like a professional wrestler beating up a four year old.
"My lord," said another ghost walking into the room with the big screen. By saying "My lord", he was referring to the quiet ghost staring at the screen that showed the boy fighting all of the ghosts. "Is that the child you spoke of?"
"Yes, Cobaark," said the ghost watching the screen, not turning away. "That is him. Danny Phantom."
"Lord Myrus," said Cobaark, still watching his lord as he observed the screen of Danny Phantom fighting the ghosts with intensity, "he seems as powerful as you have suggested. The Escerons knew what they were doing when they wished to bring him to fight."
"Yes," Myrus said, not taking his eyes of the image of Danny fighting ghost after ghost. "How fortunate we were to intercept a message from their spies. If we could recruit Danny, then we would win this war for certain."
"Yes, my lord," Cobaark said. He had been so used to calling Myrus his lord that it was now becoming a habit. "But how do we get him? He will likely just fight you. And based on what I've seen in those images, Danny Phantom could smash you just as easily as he could one of those ghosts."
"That is why I have worked out this plan," Myrus said. For the first time in who knows how long, Myrus turned around. He was a tall, dark figure with a black cape and dark red armor. For eyes, he only had two white slits. In fact, he looked much like Cobaark. Cobaark was only shorter and his armor wasn't as dark. Myrus was also easily about six inches taller than Cobaark. "With this plan, we will certainly win the war."
"My lord, what plan have you come up with?"
"You shall wait and see it unfold," Myrus said. "We shall not let the Escerons interfere with my vision of a peaceful world. If we want to defeat them, then we must recruit him. There is no alternative."
"Yes, my lord," Cobaark said, bowing.
Cobaark slowly walked out of the long, dark room and left Myrus staring at the screen once again.
"Yes…" Myrus slowly said as a smile crossed his dark, ghostly face. "We need him."
Saying this, Myrus walked out of the room with his long cape flowing right behind him. He walked down the long way to the door as his boots made thumping noises on the ground. In order for his ideals to work, he would need Danny Phantom. As he had stated many times, there was simply no other way.
