I may not update every Friday anymore. Progress is kinda slow right now and I've been focusing on my Mother 3 fanfiction. Just try not to be surprised if I don't update every single Friday. Anyways, I'm glad you guys have stuck around for so long supporting this story, I really appreciate it. :)

Blue: It's a little hard to read your review, maybe you should've waited until after your eyes are better before you read? ^^' And don't blame Danny, it's easy to be ignorant when you're a 14 year old superhero who works almost 24/7.

ZAFT Prime: Yeah, I enjoyed how Danny and Sam were trying so hard to get Andy to be his own age again. Danny and Andy are trying to rebuild their relationship after those hard times they suffered being apart from each other. And thank you for being so understanding, I appreciate the time and effort you put into reading and reviewing each chapter! :D

OMNISENSE95: Yes, it is a rather nice chapter. Ah, well Andy doesn't think he's an adult he's just acting mature and responsible because he thinks he has to, so he could still see Youngblood technically. This will be explained later during the episode so don't worry about that.

Calm: Seems Andy and Danny's little talk is a lot more popular than I though it'd be- it's funny because it was added as an afterthought really. ^^' And I remember Mr. Kat from Kid vs. Kat. :P

muney73: I love how much you love the randomness in the story. ^^' And yes, finally Andy can start training with Danny.

PrincessDragon96: Yeah, I actually had the same image in mind while I was writing that line. I was in an MLP mood at the time. ^^' Yeah, they finally spoke to each other about what happened, but they haven't really moved past the problem yet. And yeah, I do think they're pretty cute together as a family. :3 And I hope you enjoy this original plot!

Rune: Well I wouldn't say I was bombarded with Xenoblade comments, really only two reviewers said that, which is you and another. I heard that game is really good, though I don't think I'll be able to play it due to it being on the New 3DS which is something I don't plan on getting.

Well the talk is more of an afterthought... I was surprised to see how popular it was among the fans. The real talk doesn't happen until after The Ultimate Enemy, here it just shows they at least acknowledge there's a problem but that's about it. But yeah, I suppose it does help them see that they're both traumatized by it in different ways. Actually Andy's stamina's been improved a lot since the first book, you don't survive for days as the last human on Earth without gaining SOME stamina from it after all.

Okay, have fun with that when the voice is finally revealed. ;)

Yes, that's the thing I'm going for. The twins complete each other and they're much stronger together than they are apart. Both having their own unique powers, and their own strengths and weaknesses. I hope you enjoy this chapter!

Alright folks, enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 12: Training

I smiled as I followed my brother through the sky, we were flying over the sea, feeling the cool air in my hair as I kept up with my brother. The sky was a beautiful pink and orange color as the morning sun rises. Mom and Dad were following us in a jet plane, waving at us as we did tricks.

We flew through some rings and used our Ghost Ray to blast some ghosts on the choo-choo trains. Tucker and Sam waved at us as they flew with us, oh yeah, they're halfas too.

It was like the sky was our playground. I could hear Dash and Valerie cheering for us as we performed. It was so much fun, I can even breathe underwater, and so many wonders were seen here. Dora was talking to me as a sea dragon, how nice.

I followed Danny back into the sky and he smiled to me and said, "So how do you like this?"

"It's awesome! I wish it could stay this way forever." I said with a big smile on my face.

"Heh, I was hoping you'd say that bro." He said suddenly and I frowned a bit, suddenly getting an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach. "Because it will stay this way forever."

"Huh?" The area around me suddenly changed, the sky became blood red, the people around us mutated into mindless ghosts as they flew around us. I yelped in shock as Danny's black and white suit melted and was replaced by that accursed red and black suit, his hair turned black-ish red and his eyes flashed red and one of his tooth became sharp.

"W-what's going on?" I flew back, trying to get away from my corrupted brother.

"Isn't it obvious Andy?" He lifted his hands and his nails turned into sharp claws. "Everything is going to stay as a utopia forever, with you by my side!"

"No! It can't be! I… I stopped you! I turned back the clock, this never happened!" I yelled desperately, feeling my heart pounding against my chest.

"Oh but Andy, it DID happen and you will join me soon." Corrupted Danny said with a smirk and pointed at me.

I suddenly felt hot and groaned, looking down, to my terror, I could see my navy blue and white colors were melting, slowly being replaced by red and dark blue. I gasped as I began flying away from Corrupted Danny as fast as I can. But no matter how fast I flew, he was hovering over me.

"You can't escape your fate Andy, just stop fighting it and join me, we are all waiting for you." He hissed in my ear.

"NO! I AM NOT ONE OF YOU!" I shouted, glaring at him.

"Oh but brother, you already are." Corrupted Danny said with a sinister smile as he lifted a mirror in front of my face.

No… I… I see… my reflection, but… I look just like Corrupted Danny… my eyes were red, my hair was red-ish black, one of my tooth was sharp, my nails were the size of claws and my feet were replaced by that sharp tail. What have I become?

"This is what you are and you must accept it, bro, the sooner you do, the better off you'll be." Corrupted Danny said in my face, his eyes flashing, using the Mind Meld on me no doubt.

I let out a scream as I felt myself falling into the unforgiving ocean below, sinking down in the dark abyss, forced to change and to be evil.

I jolted up from my bed, panting, feeling cold sweat over my body. I breathed in relief when I saw it was only a dream. I put my hands over my face… why do I keep having these nightmares? How long will they keep haunting me? Surely I should've gotten over what happened in the Corrupted Era by now, right? Is it because I'm half ghost that it's haunting me now more than ever? I pulled down my hands from my face and stared at them, almost as if they weren't even my own. They were shaking… then I felt a cold tingle before they turned invisible! I gasped and jumped out of bed as if I was on fire, before my arms returned to visibility.

What is wrong with me? I've got to calm down… if I start freaking out too much, I may do something I regret. I pushed back my hair, trying to cool off and calm down. … Wait… where's Danny? He's not in bed… what time is it? Is he out patrolling again? I looked out the window, it seems to be early morning, the sky was dark, but it was also light- meaning the sun is coming up soon.

Then I turned around and Danny popped up from the floor, nearly right in my face! "W-whoa! Oh, hey bro- glad to see you're up!"

I yelped, jumping back from the near heart attack I got, and I nearly fell out the window before Danny grabbed my hand and pulled me back in. "Hey, geez- careful, no need to break your neck, Andy!"

"D-Danny!" I yelled at him. "DON'T DO THAT! You almost gave me a heart attack!"

"Er… sorry about that." Danny chuckled sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly as he let go and turned back into a human. "I guess I didn't expect you to be up just yet…"

"How long was I out? All night?" I asked, frowning, looking over at the clock, it was already 6:00 am.

"Yeah." Danny said, nodding. "You were really tired."

I looked at him and sighed, crossing my arms. "Well… I guess… you went out patrolling?" I didn't want him to know I had another nightmare.

Danny shrugged. "Well, yeah- but nothing really happened, guess the ghosts were quiet again. What about you, did you get a good night's rest?"

"I guess, I don't really feel tired anymore." I said- not that I WOULD go back to sleep any time soon after that nightmare.

"Good, now that you're up, we can start training early." Danny said with a smile on his face.

I frowned, raising an eyebrow. "Train? As in right now? But why? I don't think even Sam is awake yet…"

My brother shrugged, leaning against his bed. "Yeah, but we're up, so why not get some early-morning training in? Besides, we don't have to do much, just help you practice using your powers!"

"... I don't have a choice, do I." That wasn't a question, and we both knew it. He just kept grinning at me, and I groaned, facepalming. "Stop looking at me like that. I'll only do it to get better control of these powers so they won't go off on me when I don't want them too, nothing more."

"Heh- of course, Andy." Danny's grin grew wider, as he grabbed my arm and dragged me through the floor. "Now c'mon- our training awaits!"

"H-hey! Stop going intangible, it's freaking me out!" I snapped when he suddenly phased us into the lab. "Look, I'm still not used to going through solid objects, so can we just use the door like a normal person, and actually walk down and up the stairs?" I was determined to keep as much of my humanity as possible.

Danny just shook his head, still grinning. "Naaaah- it's good practice for when you have to actually try going intangible on your own!"

"I am NOT going to-" I stopped myself when he gave me a scolding look. "Ugh… let's just get this over with. What do I have to do first?"

Danny rolled his eyes slightly, chuckling. "Well, first we gotta get you to improve your transformation speed- right now it's really slow, and you'd take a while to get into a fight…"

"Transform? Well… to be fair I wasn't all that willing to transform in the first place." I mumbled. "Besides, I'm not sure if I could go any faster since it takes me a while to get to that cold spot in my chest and release it all, and it's hard when there's a ghost attacking you while you're trying to change."

Danny shrugged. "Yeah, true, but you can get to the cold spot in your chest quicker- just try transforming, see how it goes for now."

I really didn't want to transform again, every time I got into my ghost form I fear it would suddenly turn into the corrupted version like in my nightmares. Danny noticed I was hesitating, and he smirked.

"Broooo, if you don't do it soon I may just overshadow you and force you to do it." He said with a mischievous smile.

Okay, that got me to stop hesitating. I quickly concentrate to reach for the cold spot, which I'm assuming is my ghost core. I grabbed it and forced it out, the rings of light sparked on my torso and split apart to change me into my phantom form, but I did notice it wasn't as fast as my brother's transformation, it was kinda slow. It took about a second for Danny to change, it took me five seconds to fully transform.

Danny raised an eyebrow, crossing his arms as he looked at me thoughtfully. "Hmm… well, that took a while. What do you think took the longest, the transformation or finding the cold spot?"

I thought about it for a second before I answered, "Well it's not hard to find the cold spot, but it does take some time getting to it. And the transformation itself is kinda slow, but I don't know how or why it's slow." I almost flinched at the echo in my voice, still not used to that.

Danny nodded thoughtfully as he crossed his arms. "...Right- try going back to being a human, then turning into a ghost again! It might be as simple as getting used to it."

"Getting used to it? You mean it's because my body isn't used to it that's why it's so slow?" I asked, but I was more than happy to go back to being a human. It didn't seem to take me as long to find the warm spot and for the rings to change me back, it took about three seconds.

Danny nodded, shrugging. "Yep- that's the best I can tell, at least. I remember taking a while to transform too, so it might just be getting used to it that's the trick. So transform back into a ghost, then we'll practice using your other abilities!"

I sighed, I don't need the ability to see into the future to know this was going to be a long day. For about an hour, I've been practicing switching between my ghost and human forms. Eventually I felt dizzy after constantly changing from human to ghost, from alive to dead, then vice versa. "Ugh… can I stop now? My head's starting to spin." I groaned after I changed back to human form for the 10th time.

"Alright, alright, fine." Danny chuckled slightly, shrugging. "I suppose you should work on something else, bro- so let's start working on invisibility. It's the least dangerous of the bunch, after all- but it's also very useful! Do you know how to turn invisible?"

"I've done it before." I said, shrugging. "But most of the time it wasn't on purpose." I thought back to those times I did try to go invisible. I remember that it mostly has to do with not wanting to be seen, the thought process of wanting to disappear. Which means if I was embarrassed by my peers, I would easily go invisible.

Danny nodded, smiling. "Okay then, that's a start- do you remember why you turned invisible?"

"I think so." I said with a nod. I had to focus, needing to ignite the want to disappear. I thought back to when I was on the run from bullies, and when those popular kids picked on me, and when ghosts keeps trying to attack me, I remembered I wanted to disappear the most out of those times. I then blinked as I felt a slight chilled tingle throughout my body, and Danny grinned happily.

"Ya got it, bro!" Danny chuckled, offering his hand up for a high-five. I hesitantly returned it, noticing that my hand was completely invisible. "Now do you remember how to go visible again?"

It didn't take me long to be visible again, and Danny nodded in approval. "Nice, you learn fast bro."

"Well I did have a little bit of self training after the Desiree incident. I can control the basics just fine, but when I get emotional that's when it gets harder to control." I explained. "Having prior knowledge on how your ghost body works did help me gain easier control than you probably did, since you knew nothing from the beginning."

Danny blinked at that before nodding. "Yeah, true enough. So let's try making you turn invisible and go visible again for a little bit again! Thankfully it's a Saturday, so no school…" Then he perked up, seeming to get a better idea… oh no. "Actually, you seem to have a good grasp on that, so let's try getting you to fly!"

"...Fly?" I blinked at him, surprised. "Already? Isn't that a little too advanced for me right now?"

"Nope! You need to fly bro, you can't fight ghosts on your feet all the time." Danny told me before he suddenly transformed into his phantom form.

"I guess you've got a point, but how do I fly? That part was never made clear to me." I asked, frowning a bit. "Unlike creatures like birds, ghosts don't use wings to fly, rather they levitate."

"First, you better transform, it'll be easier to fly as a ghost than as a human." Danny said with a shrug.

I transformed almost as quickly as Danny did- huh… I guess that one hour training is paying off.

"Good, now flying is going to be tricky in the beginning. I remember Sam couldn't get back down when her body kept making her float." My brother chuckled, and I blinked.

"Wait… Sam was floating?" When was this?

Danny shrugged, still chuckling. "Well, it was when we were still in that hospital- apparently Sam got infected, and she ended up floating in the air. It's why she fell on Tucker and broke his leg actually."

"Oh, yeah, I never found her in that hospital." I frowned, blinking curiously. "So how do I fly?"

"Well, I remember you actually flying when you were laughing and when you were trying to get me away from Desiree before my memories were restored." My brother answered. "Flying, or rather, levitation, is usually caused by a ghost's want and emotion. It becomes as natural as breathing is to humans once you get the hang of it, that's probably why almost every ghost we meet is always floating."

"Want and emotion?" I crossed my arms, still not sure how it works.

"Okay, how about you try wanting to fly? That could work." Danny said, trying to simplify it for me.

I hesitated, tilting my head slightly. Well… I DO wanna fly, but…it couldn't be that easy, could it?

Danny just watched, waiting for me to fly up there to him. I sighed before trying to jump, but I didn't fly. I frowned, I guess jumping really isn't quite the same as flying… err… levitating. Okay, think back, Andy- Danny said I was laughing before when I first floated… Maybe it's caused by a more joyful kind of emotion? He said it also has to do with wanting to fly. Oh come on, it can't just be because I want to fly up with my brother would it be that eas- OW! I hit my head on something hard…

"Yipe!" I heard Danny yelp… right next to me… before he chuckled. "Well, that's one way of meeting up with me. Hey bro, what's up?"

I narrowed my eyes a bit, as if not sure what I'm looking at. I was rubbing the back of my head after hitting something, but I noticed everything was bobbing up and down slightly. "Uh… why'd you come back down? Did you land on my head? Great, now I probably have a concussion."

Danny chuckled again, shaking his head. "Nah, I didn't come down- you came up. Look down!"

"What?" I looked down and I yelped when I saw the ground was already a few feet away from me! I looked up and saw the ceiling, that must've been what hit my head. "Wah! O-okay, so I'm up here… n-now what?"

"Now I'm going to teach you how to move while in midair." Danny said with a wink. "Gotta learn how to move once you're up here, otherwise you're a sitting duck."

"Greeeeat… and then… you'd teach me how to come back down, right?" I asked him nervously.

Danny didn't answer me, instead he circled me a bit and said, "Now the trick to move is to lean your body in that direction, well for beginners anyway. The good thing about levitation versus flying with wings is that you have a much easier time to control where you want to go. You even did it once before when you were trying to get away from Desiree."

I nodded, "Yeah, I do remember that… but it freaked me out since I didn't even know how I was doing that… and my legs were gone, replaced by that wispy ghost tail I see on you sometimes when you fly, that scared me too."

Danny chuckled at that, rolling his eyes. "Bro, that tail's there because it helps you fly faster- not only is it more aerodynamic, but it's also just easier to make than a pair of legs, which needs more energy to keep stable. Heck, that's why the standard flying ghost has a tail rather than legs, even when just levitating!"

"Yeah, Desiree had only a tail too." I said, remembering that. "But it's still freaky- I'd rather keep my human legs, thank you. Besides, when we fought with Vlad, he was pretty fast and he never had a ghostly tail."

"...Huh- that's right, he didn't." Danny blinked before shrugging. "Well… maybe he's a more power-based ghost, so he's not as built for speed like we are!"

"Power-based ghost?" I blinked, looking at him. "I knew there were a lot of different types of ghosts, but what do you mean?" I raised an eyebrow at him.

Danny looked thoughtful before looking at me with a grin. "You know what bro? I think you're rubbing off on me."

"What's that supposed to mean?" I grumbled, not sure if that was an insult or not.

My brother chuckled, shrugging. "I've started thinking a lot, even analyzing and memorizing the ghosts I've seen. I remember not all of them had those ghost tails when ever we fly or fight. I don't think Walker ever had one either, nor did Skulker. They were more power based ghosts, they use a lot of power and have a lot of energy to keep their legs formed. They don't need to use a lot of speed since they're powerful enough to just get by with what they have, and that's probably the same with Vlad- he IS pretty dang strong, not to mention he had some pretty big biceps in his ghost form, and don't even get me started on his iron death grips. Now ghosts like us for example, and like Desiree who always have a ghostly tail, we're more thin and slender, we can be strong too but we were built more for speed, and because of this, our legs can be fused into a misty tail-like shape substance, it helps us move faster by using less energy to keep our legs formed and it helps keep us balanced in the air too."

I looked at him in shock, "... Danny… when did you have time to know all that, that really is something I would think about, not you! Besides, it's not something one would notice so easily while in the heat of battle."

"I know, which is why I had Tucker put in a file in my laptop for each ghost we've fought." Danny explained. "It made it easier to know who they are, what they use and what strategy we should come up with if we should fight with them again."

"... How much did I rub off of you exactly?" I questioned, crossing my arms. It could be possible that it was his corrupted self's intelligence, or what's left of it, still lingered in his mind. "At this point you're sounding exactly like me that it's scary."

Danny blinked before chuckling sheepishly. "W-well, uh… sorry about that- I didn't mean to, exactly, it just kinda happened when I was thinking about the ghosts I've fought so far…"

"You're probably rubbing off on me too." I muttered.

"Hmm? How so?" Danny blinked at that, raising an eyebrow.

"I've made some witty banter during our fights." I grumbled. "I don't do witty banter." I wobbled a bit in the air, frowning as I wanted to get closer to him.

"Oh, just try leaning towards me." Danny said, crossing his arms thoughtfully. "...Huh. So you actually are trying to be funny? That's new for you."

I leaned forward, my body slowly moving through the air towards him, but it's too slow for my liking. "You think? Tucker's supposed to be the funny one. When did you start doing ghost files anyway?"

Danny shrugged, thinking about it some more. "Uh… I think a bit before the Freakshow situation- what about you? When did you start being witty?"

"Just recently after the second accident." I said, wanting to move a little faster as Danny moved away from me again, probably wanting me to keep going after him in the air.

Danny chuckled, leaning back and lazily gliding through the air. "Really? Wow- guess you really are beginning to act like me, at least on the battlefield. That's… kinda creepy, but cool!"

I managed to move towards him a little bit faster, but he flew away again. "It's not cool, just creepy. I was never clever when it came to witty stuff. Besides, I still don't like the idea my legs could suddenly melt into some weird misty ghost tail if I need to fly fast."

"Yeah, but hey, it works, doesn't it?" My brother, glanced back at me, shrugging. "I mean, if you want to be more power-based you can try it, but I think speed is going to be our biggest ally in any fight we take part in."

The idea that my legs would suddenly turn into a tail isn't what really bothered me, though it is still a bit creepy since it kinda makes me look like a half man, half snake creature called a naga. But Corrupted Danny spent a lot of time with that sharp tail rather than with his legs, it's just another thing that brings me nightmares.

"I've seen those power-based ghosts, you know what they all had in common? Those big biceps- I don't really like those." I grumbled. "I'm sure if Dash ever became a halfa- again- he'd be more power-based himself." And I've seen him as a halfa and a ghost with my own two eyes and so had Danny. When I reached Danny again, he flew back once more, and I narrowed my eyes, wanting to catch him.

"Yeah, true enough." Danny chuckled, grinning at me. "Still, neither of us are power based, so our speed will have to be our biggest assets. So lose the legs and join me with the tail, bro!"

"What-" I then noticed Danny's legs were gone and were replaced by that tail, how did I not notice that sooner? I guess I was too distracted by talking to him. He no longer stayed still, he began flying around the lab. "H-hey!" I moved after him, at least I can move at a decent speed, but I couldn't catch him- heck, he was like a blur if I stopped.

"What is it, Andy?" Danny chuckled, pausing for a moment behind me, and he zoomed off as soon as I got a good glance at him. "Wanna keep up with me? You'll have to use your fastest speed! Come on, you've got to catch me, bro!"

"I can't go any faster! I'm still learning how to move in air you jerk!" I snapped, getting annoyed. "Come on! You're like the experienced gamer and you're not cutting the beginner some slack?"

Danny smirked, stopping again a little ways away and shaking his head. "Nope- not with this speed. You'll do just fine once you actually try using your speed, trust me!"

"What speed? I'm not a car!" I snapped. He flew around me again before I got an idea. When I saw the black blur passing me, I immediately struck out my hand and grabbed his tail. "Gotcha-aaaaah!" Yes, I got him, but he kept going with me hanging on for dear half life.

"W-whoa!" Danny yelped, glancing back at me in shock. "B-bro! What the heck are you doing!? Let go!"

"You said to catch you! So I caught you!" I yelled back. "At this speed, I wouldn't be surprised if you broke the sound barrier!"

Then we heard the door opening and a familiar voice, "Hey, what's going on-"

"WHOA!" My hands accidentally slipped out of my brother's tail and I yelped as I flew right into someone, and both of us flipped into a spiraling green vortex before I knew what was going on.

"S-Sam! Andy!" I heard my brother call behind me… or was it ahead? This stupid thing is making my sense of direction go insane! "Hang on, I'm coming!"

I just got the sensation of falling and the area around us was distorted and green. I saw Danny flying towards us in concern. I guess it was Sam I flipped into, and we just flipped into the Ghost Zone… joy…

Quickly trying to balance myself in a place where gravity is weirder than nature itself, but I managed to turn to see Sam, she was having trouble keeping her balance too. "Sorry about that Sam!"

"Andy, that was you?" Sam groaned, rubbing her head. "Geez… where's the ground…?"

"Y-yeah… Danny and I were… training our speed, and I guess I kinda got a bit too rash." I said with a frown.

"Are you two okay?" I heard my brother's concern voice as he flew over to us, helping Sam steady herself.

"Considering I was just smacked by a ghost boy and into the Ghost Zone, I think I'm doing pretty well." Sam said with a sarcastic tone in her voice.

"Just a little dizzy, but otherwise I'm okay." I answered before noticing we were now floating.

Danny looked around and said with a frown, "We should get back to the portal and get out of here."

"Yeah, I rather not stay here any longer than we have to." I agreed.

"Same here." Sam said before flipping upside down by accident. "But, uh, one of you have to carry me- I can't really fly on my own."

Danny carried her, bridal style, and I noticed the small blush between them. I rolled my eyes at this, this isn't the time for teenage hormone romance. "U-uh… well, lead the way, bro!" He gave me an awkward grin, still blushing slightly.

"Great, even as a ghost your hormones are picking up." I said, rolling my eyes, causing them both to blush even more. This is quite amusing, no wonder Tucker liked teasing them about it.

"H-hey! My hormones are not acting out, Andy!" Danny huffed, rolling his eyes. "Anyways, move it, darnit! We've gotta get out of here, quick!"

"Hello? I've barely managed to move in the air? It's kinda like teaching a two year old how to walk for the first time." I shot back.

"Will you two stop arguing? I want to get out of this place, without the Specter Speeder I feel a little TOO vulnerable out here." Sam spoke up, frowning.

"Alright, alright…" Danny grumbled, rolling his eyes again and beginning to head towards the nearby portal. "I'm gonna need another Nasty Burger after this."

"Oh no you don't, I am NOT eating there again after you grossed me out with your cheese chewing." I snapped, trying to follow him, it was still hard for me to fly around freely.

"Hey, I only did that to get you to show something other than a cold personality and act like Sam and I are children!" Danny shot back, glaring back at me. "Seriously, you're acting worse than Jazz- at least I know she's trying to take care of me and doesn't judge me often!"

"I didn't call you children, I called you teenagers, because that's exactly what you two are anyway! How is that insulting? And I wasn't showing a cold personality, I was just trying to get some answers for those ghost viruses- chances are it could happen again and I wanted to be prepared." I snapped back.

Danny groaned, stopping and turning to face me. "How is it not insulting to act like we're a lot younger than you when we are THE SAME AGE. You don't act like the teenager you should be! If we're teenagers, you're an old man in a kid's body!"

"Oh is that all?" I glared at him, not knowing we were drifting off course. "Because among teenagers, you have powers that you didn't know how to control and if your emotions go unstable you could hurt someone, more than yourself! Teenagers are known to have the strongest emotions shown compared to children and adults. I had to mature during those times you were a ghost, or I would've gone-" I cut myself off, glancing away. "... Scratch that- the point is, I just want to be prepared for the worst."

Danny paused before speaking up again, this time sounding cold. "...Prepared for the worst? Like if I turned against you, Andy?" I paused at that, blinking. I… did he… was he really blaming me for what happened then? "...C'mon, let's just get out of here- this was a bust…"

"What is? Training me?" I asked, crossing my arms. "Well then, I'm sorry I'm such a disappointment."

"Guys, please stop fighting! Look at where we are!" Sam suddenly shouted, making us both blink. "We're in the middle of the Ghost Zone and I can't even see the portal anymore!"

"H-huh?" Danny blinked, caught off-guard as he glanced around. I did too… and she was right- the portal was just, gone. "Wha- but that's impossible! We were heading straight towards it, the portal should be right in front of us!"

"No, you two were too busy arguing with each other that we ended up drifting AWAY from it!" Sam snapped.

"Why didn't you say something?" I asked, crossing my arms in annoyance.

"I did, neither of you heard me!" She said with a glare.

I frowned again, sighing. "Then let's just go back the way we came… stupid portal."

Before we could go anywhere, though, we all paused, hearing a familiar voice nearby. "Well, if it isn't the Phantom halfa once more. You're in a lot of trouble, I'd sa… Hold on, there's two of you?"

"Oh, okay, I see how it is- I'm just the carbon copy of the original. That's how you saw me last time too, thanks a lot Walker." I said with a heavy sarcasm dripped in my tone, I was NOT in a good mood right now.

"...So you both… have been twins this entire time?" Walker blinked, looking extremely confused. Good- he deserves it after what I've been through lately. "...I'm sure that's against some sort of law…"

"I'm pretty sure there are SOME ghosts out there that are twins." I pointed out.

The ghost warden just frowned at me, crossing his arms. "So if you've been half ghost like your brother… then you lied to me when you claimed you were human. That's against the rules."

"WHAT RULES!? You're making them up as you go along!" I snapped, losing my already shorting temper. Then I felt a gloved hand grab onto my shoulder, I turned to see Danny looking at me.

"Bro… it's no good trying to reason with Walker- we'd be better off running." Danny said, giving me a warning look as if telling me to back off. "C'mon, let's go!"

"Go?" Walker suddenly chuckled, still floating a little ways away. "You're not going anywhere- we have you surrounded. Come quietly and you may find freedom in a few hundred years."

I was shocked and glanced around- when did we get surrounded? But sure enough there were ghost guards all around us, too many to fight off. Especially since Danny's holding on to Sam and I'm, more or less, a newborn ghost, still trying to learn how to move in flight.

"Not so fast Walker!" Sam suddenly said, crossing her arms. "You can't touch us, because we're humans. Guys, change back to your human forms quick!"

"Wait." I suddenly said when I saw Danny was about to do just that. "Walker should know this already, but he seems pretty confident."

"Of course I am." Walker said, still grinning like the cat that ate the canary. "After all, you two are just in time for a little event." With that, he pulled out a remote control, and he pushed the button.

Before I knew what happened, I suddenly felt a sharp jolt in my system. I cried out in pain as my body spasmed from the electricity, I faintly heard Danny and Sam screaming out too. When the electricity stopped, I couldn't move- it was like I was paralyzed, and I could feel my consciousness already slipping. The last thing I saw was my brother and Sam laying unconscious while Walker laughed as he approached us.

He smirked, stopping in front of us and gently pushing my face with his boot. "You two will make wonderful contestants… Yes, just perfect…"

Ahh, looks like they meet Walker again. Wonder what he's going to do with them? This arc isn't too long, it's really meant to show Andy improving in a situation where he's forced to use his ghost powers and to introduce an important character. Anyways, there's not much else for me to say. I hope you guys like what you see, leave a review on what you think or if you have questions. I am DarkFoxKit and I look forward to hearing from you!
