Thoughts in Italics

Vlad spun around to see what spectral being had interrupted his thoughts. His Jaw dropped, because there standing in front of him was Erik, the most powerful ghost in the history of the Ghost Zone.

"You, but how?" Vlad yelled. "You were destroyed. The Ghost Council destroyed you!"

"Correction, they thought that they had destroyed me. But they failed. I am still here." Erik said cooling.

Erik to most he thought of as a legend, but a select few knew the truth about the ghost.

It happened along time ago, before Vlad, before most of the ghosts in the Ghost Zone.

Erik was a full ghost, and had a lot of power. Back when he was still human he was a good guy. He was the leader of a small group of people know at the Terains. They had a settlement in Eastern Europe. Erik was a great leader and all looked up to him. But then another group of people attack the Terains. Erik and his army tried to fight off the invaders, but they were outnumbered one to ten. The Terains lost the battle and Erik, along with others, lost his life.

After he was killed he awoke in the Ghost Zone. Everyone who had been killed, or had unfinished business, would become ghosts. But Erik was special. He was killed trying to protect those that he loved. So he had a great amount to power.

Erik found his way to the human world through a natural portal. He searched for his village only to find out that it had been destroyed. Erik snapped. He started to haunt the settlement that had destroyed his, so like most ghosts do in the Ghost Zone, Erik turned evil.

He set his sights on taking over the Ghost Zone first and then taking over the human world.

He made a small, but powerful, army and attacked. This sent the whole Ghost Zone into all out war.

No one seemed to be able to stop them, so the Ghost Council decided to take matters into there own hands. The Ghost Council consisted of: Pariah Dark, Fright Knight, Clockwork, Grim Reaper, Boogieman, the Observant's (Although they just observed) and the Dairy King (Who sent people to fight for him).

The Ghost Council had a heck of a time trying to defeat Erik. They hit him with everything that they had got, and still it took them several attempts to try and defeat him. But the finally did after one last major fight. Or so they thought. They had only damaged his ghostly aura.

It took Erik several years to put himself back together, then he decided to wait with his plans.

Then Erik heard about the 'halfa' and knew that he would put a dent in his new plans, so he decided to take care of that little problem.

"Silly little ghosts. They thought that they could destroy me, but they couldn't." Erik smirked.

"What do you want?" Vlad demanded. He had heard about this ghost but dismissed it as a legend.

"Why, halfa, I would assume you knew. It is the exact plan as you. Minus the human women and the younger halfa. Erik explained.

How does he know about me, Daniel and even Maddie?

"I don't have time for this!" Vlad announced as he charged up an ecto-ray. Vlad wanted go and check up and Daniel and make sure Skulker didn't do any damage to his soon to be son (In Vlad's dreams).

"Of course you do. The Ghost Child will be out of the way soon enough. I'm not sure why he wasn't destroyed during my first attack, but rest assured he will not survive the second." Erik smirked.

"You…..you did that to Daniel?" Vlad asked, truly stunned. They anger engulfed the older halfa as he fired a rather large ecto-blast as Erik.

Erik easily dodged it. "Of course it was me. I'm the only one that could even have a chance at destroying the boy."

"Nobody harms Daniel besides me!" Vlad announced protectively. Daniel was his pawn and nobody else's.

Erik rolled his eyes. He was having fun messing with the older halfa, just like he loved messing with all other ghosts.

Vlad flew around a bit, and fired blasts at Erik, which he dodged. "I've had enough of this." Erik announced, a rather annoying tone in his voice. Erik charged up an ecto-blast and fired it. It hit Vlad square in the chest and sent him flying into a rock island.

Vlad hit the island with a loud 'thud' and then blacked out.

Erik smiled, this was going to be too easy.

"We're taking Danny off of life support." Maddie Fenton announced to the small group that had gather inside Danny's hospital room. Danny wasn't doing so good.

"What you….you can't do that!" Jazz protested.

"Jazz, honey, the doctors said he'd never come out the coma. And I can't stand to see my baby boy like this." Maddie began to cry.

"I don't care what the doctors said. Danny will come out of this, I know he will. I won't let you do this." Jazz screamed.

"Jasmine, it has to be done." A rather calm Jack Fenton replied. On the outside Jack seemed calm, and cool, but on the inside Jack's huge heart was breaking.

"I hate you both!" Jazz screamed at the top of her lungs and she ran out of the room.

The rest stayed silent.

"Are you ready?" Dr. Marshal, a specialist in neurology that was hired by a famous billionaire, asked as he ushered the small group of people into ICU room four.

Maddie nodded as she followed the group into the room.

In the room where: Mr. and Mrs. Fenton, a rather upset Jazz, Sam, Tucker, Valerie (Much to Sam's protest), nurse Shelly and a few interns.

Dr. Marshal turned off Danny's ventilator and took out his breathing tube.

It was only a matter of time before the young teen would take his last breathe.

Fight Danny, fight Shelly thought.

I don't want to go back into the darkness. It's just too scary. But there's no turning back. The light is gone. I wish it would come back. The light felt so good. I really don't want to stay in this darkness for much longer, it's driving me nuts. But there's no way out.

really

How did I get here anyway? Think Danny, think. Wait, I remember no! Picture a light bulb appearing over Danny's head.

I was at school, then in the hall there was a ghost I had never seen before. He was attacking my family and friends, so I attacked him. He fired an ecto-blast at me and then….then there was in the darkness.

That ghost, he must have done something to me. But what? Man, all this thinking hurts. I wonder if this is how Dash feels when he thinks about how much two plus tow equals.

"Fight Danny, fight."

Hey! It's that voice again. Fight? Fight what? There's noting to fight?

Then there was a sudden booming noise that penetrated Danny's train of thought. He whirled around and was face to face with the Erik, the ghost he thought had sent him to this place. To the darkness.

"You!" Danny shouted as he got into a battle stance. "I'm going ghost!" He shouted, but the two white rings did not appear around his waist. "What the…..why can't I go ghost?"

Erik laughed. "You should work on your battle cry."

"So mute decides to speak now, I though you where going to forever hold you peace." Even in a matter of life and death, Danny still loved his witty banter. "Who are you, where am I?" Danny demanded.

"Do you really want to know? Fine, I'll tell you; I am Erik, the most powerful ghost in the history of the Ghost Zone. As to our location, I feel that that is for another time. But unfortunately, you are all out if time." Erik was having a blast at the moment. Erik charged up a blast.

Danny froze. He didn't know what to do. He couldn't use his powers, what else could he do?

"Fight Danny, fight!" Those three words echoed through Danny's head like a broken record.

If I can't fight like a ghost, maybe I have to fight like a kid. Man I'm getting a serious feeling of Déjà vu.

Erik fired the blast at Danny, who actually missed it.

Erik fired another blast, but he missed.

"Wow, you need to work on your aim." Danny laughed, maybe Erik and his father should do some target practice together or something.

Erik was fuming with anger, so what better way to release it then by firing a gigantic blast at your enemy, but Erik missed, so it didn't help his anger problem.

Danny let out a little laugh. "Two words for you my friend, 'Anger Management'."

Erik fired one last time and smiled as he hit his target.

Danny let out a yelp of pain as he flew into the darkness.

He slowly rose to his feet and much to his surprise a Fenton Bazooka was lying next to him.

Erik flew at Danny, ready to fire another shot, but was only knock out of the sky by a shot from Danny.

The darkness seemed to fade a little, just a little, but enough to see a difference.

Danny fired again. He hit Erik square in the chest. The darkness faded even more.

"No!" Erik shouted.

Danny smiled as he fired one last time at Erik. It hit Erik and then the darkness shattered.

To be concluded…

Authors Note: Soooo, how was it? Good, bad? I don't think I'm the best at the fight scenes, but I did the best I could. Now you know who my OOC is. I don't know where the name 'Erik' came from. Anywho I left you with a cliffhanger, aren't I evil? As always review my friends.

Next update: Hopefully Friday February 17th.
