"Wait! Stop!" Danny yelled desperately. He gave it all his might trying to break himself free from the chains that Bhyrun had trapped him in. "Don't do it!"

Bhyrun was holding the bottle that had Nouron trapped inside of it right over the hole that would lead right into the ocean if he were to drop it. He kept passing slow, evil glances towards Danny, not taking the malicious sneer off his face for one second.

Slowly, Bhyrun started loosening his grip on the bottle, one finger at a time. (just to torture Danny) Danny kept getting angrier and angrier as each second passed, and he had to do something, or else Nouron would reach a watery grave and possibly never make it to the shore.

"Come on, Bhyrun!" Danny yelled, still trying to break the chains off his wrists that were keeping him stuck to the wall. "You don't want me to break myself free and make sure you don't drop that bottle!"

Bhyrun gradually turned around and looked at Danny. "You're not in any position to talk, Ghost Child! Once I dump this bottle into the water, I'll finish you off! And once you're gone, none will stand in the way of my awesome power!"

"You know, that's what a lot of the bad guys say in movies, books or video games!" Danny insisted, trying his best to make Bhyrun nervous. (even though it was clearly not working) "Then the next thing you know…BAM! The good guy and the bad guy are duking it out and the evil guy gets something dropped on him, or he falls off of a ten-bazillion foot drop, or something!"

"Teenagers," Bhyrun mumbled to himself, turning away from Danny and giving his attention back to the bottle with Nouron in it as he was slowly letting it slip from his grasp and ready to drop it into the ocean below. "Always thinking about your violent movies and not spending enough time in the real world…"

"Hey, that's what my mom says!" Danny said, raising his voice as he kept trying to clink his chains together in hopes of breaking himself free.

"Well, I'm going to be the last one you hear it from!" Bhyrun yelled. He was not fooling around anymore and was ready to get rid of Nouron. "You've done nothing but cause trouble for me these past few centuries. Now, I'm finally going to have complete power, and there is nothing you can do to stop me! Not you OR your pitiful descendant!"

Danny continued groaning as he tried to push himself free of the chains on the wall, but now he didn't have much time left. In a matter of moments, Bhyrun would drop the bottle into the water, and any hope of defeating him would forever be gone.

Then, a miraculous thing happened. Danny used every ounce of strength he had and actually managed to free himself. After a loud clanking sound was heard, Danny watched in joy as he saw the chains that once bound him fall to the floor in a crumpled pile.

Bhyrun softly gasped, and then turned around to see Danny was no longer trapped. But as soon as he turned around, Danny fired a blast of energy right into his face.

Bhyrun got blown backwards by Danny's ectoplasma ray and smashed into the opposite wall. The bottle with Nouron trapped in it fell out of Bhyrun's hand and rolled into a corner of the floor.

Danny started running over to Bhyrun to attack him some more, but Bhyrun was ready. When he was only a few steps away, Bhyrun stuck his leg out and rolled it across the floor, tripping Danny and causing him to fall back-flat on the stone floor.

After a bit of moaning in pain, Danny slowly got up, but Bhyrun punched him in the side of the head and knocked him onto the floor again. Now Danny had much more trouble getting up. He now knew that Bhyrun not only had a bunch of powerful attacks, but he also seemed to have a ton of strength in his physical attacks.

Danny staggered, trying to get up. But once again, Bhyrun just gave him another solid hit, this time, on the place where the skull and the spinal cord meet.

Danny was now lying on the floor, barely able to move. Bhyrun once again started laughing as if nothing had happened, and he went towards the corner of the room where Nouron's bottle had landed itself.

After picking the bottle up, Bhyrun started walking over to the hole in the center of the floor more quickly, knowing that Danny wasn't about to waste any time at all trying to stop him from dropping it.

Just as Bhyrun was about to let the bottle go, Danny jumped up and tackled Bhyrun, sending them both hurtling towards the ground. The bottle fell out of Bhyrun's hands and once again started rolling away.

Danny and Bhyrun both got up and started firing rapid punches at each other. Initially, Bhyrun didn't take Danny as much of a threat, but after receiving a hard knock right between the eyes, he realized how powerful Danny truly was. After all, he had some of Nouron's power in him now.

"Erg…" Bhyrun growled, starting to get really frustrated by how much of a challenge Danny was proving himself to be. "You shall not win!"

"Oh, please," Danny groaned, rolling his eyes as he and Bhyrun continued dodging each other's punches. "I've heard more original lines in the clay animation Christmas specials!"

It was a long time before either one of them showed any sign of getting tired or worn down. But unfortunately for Danny, his energy was wearing thin a lot quicker.

After a few blows were exchanged, Danny was punched in the stomach and thrown to the side. Even though he was in great pain, he persisted and still fought.

Bhyrun was getting very upset with Danny being such a pain, and finally he had enough of it. He forgot about Danny entirely and instead ran over to the bottle, picked it up, and bolted towards the center of the room where the hole was.

Danny looked up, still a bit dizzy from the fighting he had just engaged in. When he snapped awake, he saw Bhyrun holding the bottle with Nouron in it right over the hole, but the nonsensical look on his bone-white face was gone and it was now serious and vengeful. He was going to drop the bottle down into the hole, and that was that.

Danny gasped when he saw the bottle about to fall through the hole. "Nooooooooooooooooooooo!..." he screamed.

Then it seemed like everything slowed down. Danny watched as the body dropped through the hole in the floor. Danny ran over to the hole and looked down just in time to see the bottle splash into the water below.

Danny stared down at the water after the bottle had just broken through the surface of it and began sinking to the bottom. It was only a few seconds, but it felt like an eternity before he looked back up at Bhyrun, who was now smiling the same way someone annihilates a player in a strategy game.

Danny got up and looked Bhyrun right in the eyes. His own eyes were now filled with the thought of death, vengeance and hatred. His bottom lip started bouncing up and down violently, his heart rate skyrocketed, and his fists clenched without him even realizing it. His breathing had now become labored and heavy, like Darth Vader without his helmet.

"You won't get away with this…" Danny threatened. His voice was low and in its normal tone, but just listening to it, one could tell that he felt like he wanted to grab Bhyrun by the neck and slam him onto a bed of sharp rocks.

Meanwhile, Bhyrun refused to take Danny seriously. He just started laughing evilly again, and Danny didn't want to hear it anymore. He then resorted to jumping though the hole, out of the cloud. He then started floating in mid air, but then pointed his head downwards.

Without even thinking about what he was doing, Danny took the deepest breath he could muster and did a nosedive and smashed right through the ocean water. His eyes had to squint for a few seconds to get used to the dark, murky area around him. He started swimming closer and closer to the bottom of the ocean, looking for wherever Nouron's bottle went.

The water was so dark, and the ice cold feeling of it didn't do Danny's cardiovascular system a lot of good. But, knowing how important it was for him to find the bottle, Danny continued to persevere, looking for the bottle and not giving up until he saw it.

Then, he caught a break a short while later: he saw a golden, yellow light breaking out from the dark water. He swam closer and closer to the glow, and when he was within arm's reach of it, he could clearly see the bottle.

"Good thing that bottle glows with Nouron inside it," Danny thought to himself. But then, another problem hit him. The pressure of being so deep underwater was making it harder and harder for him to hold his breath. If he didn't get out of the water soon, he would drown.

Danny grabbed the bottle, and then started swimming to the surface as fast as possible. His eyes were closing now, and his vision was becoming much more blurry. He could feel his heart rate accelerate so fast he thought it was going to burst inside of him. His teeth were grit and he made sure not to drop the bottle on the way back.

The surface was so close now; Danny could see the small rays of sunlight poking into the dark, cold ocean water.

At long last, Danny burst from the ocean with the bottle in his hand, finally being able to breathe again. He took a few deep breaths as he flew downwards and landed himself on a flat rock sticking out in the middle of the ocean.

Danny fell on his back, closed his eyes, put his hand over his stomach and started breathing at a fast pace. He coughed a few times, as well. Finally, when more oxygen was traveling through him, he was able to concentrate more.

His body was cold now, but it didn't really matter to him. He reached over at the glowing bottle and popped the open end of it off. Instantly, a bright tornado of swirling golden light started soaring out of the bottle, just like what happened when Danny accidentally let Bhyrun out.

After a few seconds, Nouron appeared out of the swirling tornado and slowly planted himself down on the rock a few inches away from Danny.

Nouron looked very pleased to have been let out from the bottle, but his glee turned to concern when he saw Danny. He saw that his seventeen-generation grandson was shivering cold with water dripping down from his snow white hair, and his black jumpsuit was even darker after all the water it had absorbed.

"Danny? What happened?"

Danny explained everything about Bhyrun dropping the bottle into the water and him going down to get it. Nouron seemed very impressed with Danny's urge to find it in the water, even when it looked like he was going to drown from it.

"Well, now that we're both okay again," Nouron said, "I think it's time we start thinking about the big problem that is facing us now."

"You mean Bhyrun?" Danny asked.

"Yes. He can obviously be a huge threat if he can take the power of his defeated Bhyspawn and use it to enhance himself."

"I know what you mean," Danny said. "That guy can really pack a punch. By the way, how exactly does Bhyrun turn someone into a Bhyspawn?"

"He fires a ray from his hand that mutilates the person and turns them into it."

"That's what I thought," Danny casually said. "Hey, speaking of which…when Bhyrun tried firing that laser beam thing or whatever at me and tried to turn me into a Bhyspawn, it didn't work."

"I know."

"Well, do you know why it didn't?"
