A/N: Yes, I'm not dead, though I can't deny that many wanted me to be. Oh well, guess no one likes to review. But I still want to finish this story to get the idea out of my head. I hope you silently enjoy this second part while boycotting the review button just for Silente. Enjoi! This part came out so…weird…
The Aperture: Part 2
The wind was fierce tonight. He could feel it blowing into his room, making it virtually impossible to go to sleep. And he got tired of closing the window. It would just open up again with a whirr. Boy, he was starting to not like the fall. He laid in his bed for a while until the cold seeped deep into his bones. Reluctantly, he got up and shut the window, this time covering the opening with masking tape.
'And it had to come to that,' he thought, sighing deeply before crawling back in bed.
He tried to fall asleep, but try as he might he couldn't, even though he was deathly tired. All the ghosts he was fighting off and on that day had driven his nerves wild and tired him.
'Guess I'm a little insomniac after all those ghost attacks. Stupid Skulker. Stupid Technis. Stupid!' he thought, before dismissing the very notion of being able to sleep that night.
So he got up and sat at his desk and turned on the computer. After it had fully booted, he opened his personal ghost files. When the usual password notification popped up, he decided to change the password.
'Paulina Fenton is getting a little old anyways. Let's see…I don't know, let's just put Clueless for now…'
After he changed the password and the files were now Jazz-proof, he opened them up and browsed through them, adding to the different files.
'Now let's see here…Skulker's got a new suit, Desiree no longer grants stupid wishes…'
The list of needed changes grew on and on until he heard a rapping at the window. Shocked, he closed his files and turned to the window but saw that no one was there.
'It's probably the wind…' he thought, and when he turned away he heard scraping on the window.
Angered, he got up and looked at the window yet again, only to see nothing.
'Weird…' he wondered, and then his ghost sense went off. 'A ghost!' He gasped.
"Who are you? Come out wherever you are ghost!" he yelled, then realized that he sounded exactly like his father.
He waited a while, and then he heard a ghastly whisper respond:
"It is I. I have come for my revenge, boy."
"Who are you? What have I ever done to you?"
"It's not what you have done; it's the guilt you have inherited."
"What are you talking about? I asked who you are! Tell me!"
"Quite the demanding persona, eh?" the voice said, sounding amused, then continued: "You may call me the Great Aperture. I was very well until your stupid parents killed me."
"My parents did what? They would never kill a living soul? Why are you blaming them for-?"
"Stupid boy. Your parents did kill me. They took me from my rightful place in order to experiment. Stupid ghost hunters. They ruined my life. Now all I've been doing up until now is planning. And now, I will carry out my revenge!"
"W-wait a minute! Why are you after me? If my parents really did…kill…you, then why wouldn't you seek revenge on them?"
"Now do you really think you'd let me kill them?" the voice said, then as if seeing the shocked look on Danny's face, cackled madly.
"Now you see…Since they took the thing most precious to me, my life, I will take from them one of their most precious things, one of their children."
"You can't kill me off that easily!" Danny said defiantly, then transformed into Danny Phantom.
"Now we'll see about that. At least I'm not killing you and your sister."
"Shut up, and fight me!"
"Whatever you say…"The voice faded away.
Danny looked right and left, but couldn't see him. All of a sudden, the window flew open and the tape tore in half. A big gust of wind flew in, hitting Danny square in the chest.
"Ahhh!"
"See, you're nowhere near powerful enough to defeat me, boy. All you can hope for now is a swift death."
Danny got back up with slight effort and spouted, "Like I'll give up!" And threw a punch to where he heard the voice, and a whoosh slammed up against the wall.
"Ah, you got lucky, eh? Well I guess I have to keep my guard up now!"
As soon as that was said, Danny was hit with a series of punches and hit the wall for the second time. Danny struggled to get up, and looked around before saying:
"Where the heck are you? How am I supposed to fight you if I can't see you?"
"Well, now, your parents should of thought about that before they killed me with that stupid machine of theirs." The mysterious voice said while slamming a fist of air at the ghost boy, which sent him reeling into the other side of the room.
"What do you mean?" Danny said, coughing as he got up again. "How would they even expect it? They were just scientists. They don't research anything before delving deeper to prove their theory. How can you blame them?"
Danny swung a punch into the air, but he was nowhere near close. The Aperture, amused, just let him swing aimlessly into the air while he spoke.
"That's right. No one can blame the scientists. You couldn't blame them for creating aids, can you? You have to blame it on faux stories made up by the bribed scientific community newspaper. You can't blame them for people dying in the hospitals off of medicine they approve as safe but is really just a prototype! Do you see the corruption in the human worlds? Do you?"
"But you just can't take all your hate of scientists onto one pair of scientists. They're just paranormal scientists. They don't even deal with the medicine or with anything else that would affect humans!"
"So you don't understand, do you? All the years my rage has pent up...do you see what I have become? Your parents destroyed my very purpose! All I care about now is getting my revenge!"
As soon as the voice uttered those words, inside the room, black gas swirled about until Danny could no longer breathe. He watched as the gas formed a giant mass that resembled a skull.
"Do you see now? All I am is my revenge! And I will get it!"
The skull broke apart, the gas forming a massive cloud in the room before swallowing Danny whole. Inside, he fought to breathe, but fell unconscious. After Danny fell, the gas was sucked inside of him, before clearing. Danny got up. But it was no longer Danny, but the Aperture. He said, "Now I will get my revenge." He smiled a sinister smile; it was so malignant that it didn't belong on Danny's face, but there was nothing Danny could do about it.
Jazz smiled gleefully. Tonight was the night! As she typed in the last words in her essay, she thought of how well she was going to do on the essay. She felt that it was the best one she had ever written, for it was on one of the topics she understood the most about: The Stress of an Everyday Teen. She thoroughly checked it again for any mistakes, then pressed save. She then printed it out and placed it in her backpack. She then dove into bed, ready for a long night's rest. Suddenly, she heard a stir downstairs.
'It's probably Mom and Dad messing around in that lab again,' she thought, then closed her eyes again.
Then she heard a louder noise, this time sounding urgent.
'I wonder what's going on down there…'
She began the long and tiresome climb down the staircase.
Of course it wasn't that long or tiring at all, but it seemed so, because she needed to sleep.
When she reached her parents' lab, she opened the door and gasped.
In that very moment, she wanted to run with all of her might back up to her room and forget about what she just saw and go to sleep.
If wishes could come true, she would have wished that this had never happened.
If only life was a tea party with Mr. Bearburt Einstein and friends, not this nightmare.
She never wished anything bad on anybody, so why did she deserve this?
Nothing mattered anymore, at least not to her.
Why did the closest thing to her have to perish, when that person never even lived as long or as easy as a life as she did?
No one was fair. She realized that now.
But why did losing Danny by her ludicrous parents have to teach her this lesson?
That was her last thought before she fainted, and a breeze blew out the window.
The End! If u want to know what happened, and enough people review, then I'll make a special chapter showing what happened. But that's not likely that I'll get many reviews, so I'm not counting on doing it. For those who get it, tell me what you think happened. Ok? And remember to review! Or you're very very mean….
