Hmm, well I refuse to let my story sit idle for too long, so I'm gonna update it now. That and I got some more ideas to continue it with.
Disclaimer: Gosh dang it, why do I keep showing up? I'm already in the prologue, look there to see me!
---------------Chapter 2------------------
Well, that was convenient. Now I don't have to explain how Phoenix gets rid of his prey. What? You don't know what that gem is? Argh, ignorant humans! (sigh)
That artifact is called the Gem of Zane. It is an object of immense ectoplasmic energy. It uses all of the main types of ectoplasm—green, blue, and red that is—so it can absorb any ghost, no matter how powerful. Just as long as the ghost has been dispersed already there's no problem at all. It was lost for many years, but the Golden Phoenix went on a quest to find it and obtained it a few months later. Talk about vigilance, eh?
But more on the one who made this wonder: Zane was a ghost-obsessed scientist from long ago. He immersed himself in studying us and experimented with various types of ectoplasm daily. (You may be wondering how he got into the Ghost Zone to get samples. Well, it's all related to the matter of natural portals, but I shall not be getting into that topic.) However, it was inevitable that someday Zane's experiments would go wrong, and so one day his red ectoplasm sample exploded and killed him. Zane became a ghost and was happier than ever. (What could be better for a ghost-lover then to become one himself?) Unfortunately for Zane his ridiculous good mood got on the other ghost's nerves so they grew to hate him. They would call him "Insane Zane" and attack him frequently. Zane knew that if he dispelled them they would simply come back later so he stayed up day and night to invent something to stop the fiends. That's when he fused the main ectoplasmic colors together into a special jewel and created the Gem of Zane. After he dispersed the bullying spirits (death by red ectoplasm can do wonders for your ghost powers) Zane was able to suck their fading energy into the Gem. Other, stronger ghosts heard of this event and more importantly, the Gem, and Zane soon found himself under siege, dispelled, and trapped within his own creation.
Yes, that's what happened to him, tragic isn't it? But enough about that stuck-in-oblivion spirit, I should see if my Eye has picked up anything interesting yet…let me focus on it for the moment…
Somewhere in Amity Park…
An invisible ghost flew above the town, scanning it for unusual amounts of energy. Skulker noticed that the Box Ghost hadn't been trying to break into his square cage lately, and that just wasn't like him. He soon discovered that the annoying pest couldn't be found. Not even his new girlfriend the Lunch Lady knew where he had gone. Such a thing shouldn't really concern him—he is the greatest hunter in the Ghost Zone after all—but this could be a sign of another hunter on the rise, one that could possibly threaten his position. This isn't very likely, Skulker thought, but still…
Wait, what was that? Skulker brings out his binoculars from his suit and scans around some trees, flying lower as he does so. Yes, there is definitely a high amount of energy around here, but where is it coming from? The hunter ghost lands, turning visible and activating his ecto-scanner. Surely whatever that is hiding cannot avoid his sensors for long. Walking toward the area that his device is indicating, Skulker brings out a shoulder-mounted ecto-launcher, just in case. When he sliced apart some overgrown bushes with his blade Skulker discovered his prize. An odd gem was on the ground, flashing green, blue, and red respectively.
Skulker gasped. Could this really be the legendary gem, the Gem of Zane? But what was it doing on the floor? Skulker knew immediately that it must be a trap. But strangely, his sensors showed no other ghosts in the region…very strange indeed. A human couldn't have possibly obtained this relic; it was exclusive to the Ghost Zone, and any ghost powerful enough to get the gem wouldn't of given it to a human either. And it was unlikely that a ghost that strong would fall to a pitiful human as well…
Even if it was a trap, Skulker reasoned, no ghost could defeat the mighty Skulker. Still alert, the ghost cautiously moved forward to take the Gem. So far, so good…no mines or hidden lasers to be seen…wait, a noise in the bushes behind me!
He quickly turned to the sound and fired his launcher (he had never put it away) and proclaimed: "You thought you could sneak up on me, Skulker, the feared predator of the Ghost Zone!"
But besides the new smoking hole in the plants, there was nothing to be seen. Bah, Skulker thought. No remains to skin and hang on my wall. The hunter started to turn around to face the gem once more-
-but suddenly felt a breach in his armor, and his launcher was severed a moment later. Another hard blow and he flew back, slammed into a tree, and slumped on the ground. Skulker had a brief, hazy view of a red-robed figure with claws walking toward him, but then fell into unconsciousness.

Isn't it fun watching the ghosts getting their butts kicked? Don't worry though; I'm not going to do this forever. I'm planning on doing a chapter with Danny next time. He's gonna have to realize that the ghosts are missing eventually after all. Review please! That makes the chapters come even faster!
Best regards,
