TO ZE ZTORY
Him picked up the crystal, seeing the mist and liquid smirling around in it, the blackish color of the crystal settling at a dark grey, with highlights of pure black as the scythe and tentacles glowed an eerie white. He called a demon in to clean up his materials, as he walked out with the crystal. He went into his office, opening a trapdoor under his desk, and entered a combination on a safe. He leaned down as it scanned his eye, before scanning his thumb, and he said, "Open!" to the safe as it finally opened. He placed the crystal into it, before closing it all up, smirking and scheming for how he would do this.
6 months later
Him grinned as he viewed his apprentice's reaction to this 'Amity Park's' ruins, and he collapsed, crying, when he saw the statue. Him had even gone so far as to destroy the girl, Sam's, head, so her figure was headless. The boy got up, rage and the primal need for revenge in his eyes. Him opened a portal, leading the two into Him's realm as Danny seethed. "Daniel, I have something for you. I believe that I can give you the means to combat, and defeat your older self. Come, we have much to do." He led Danny into his office, and through a unseen hallway, which led to a ritual room.
Danny looked at Him, who said, "I will return shortly with what I require to aid you, in the mean time, glance through this book on the marked pages." He said, throwing an old tome at Danny. The halfa caught it, as it fell open to a section on supernatural powers. There was a section circled, labeled 'Nergal Demons' another as 'Reapers', and the last as 'Seventh-Level Demons'. Danny read the entry on Nergal Demons, surprised about what he found out.
Nergal Demons first originated when Nergal, of whom the demons were have all been since named after, created the Nergalings. The Nergalings had, once Nergal settled down with his wife and son, Nergal Jr., been forgotten. For a time, they continued in their duties, delighting in their work. One day, the great demon Aku, trapped several thousand Nergalings, and experiemented on them.
The result left them far more powerful, far more varied, and with the ability to give up their powers along with offering marriage. This is done by the gifting of the right or left eye, respectively. They spread this new power, as the few remaining original Nergalings died off, too few of them to sustain a population when the newly dubbed Nergal Demons began to hunt their predecessors, or, as the Nergal demons called them, 'The Imperfections'. They all flocked to Nergal, as he was thrust into a position of leadership. he became leader of the Nergal Demons, gathering power, and has since been worshipped as a deity by the Nergal Demons.
Nergal Demons have the ability to use various tentacles that will form on their back, as various tools, or weapons. Nergal Demons, once powerful enough, can also shapeshift into various forms, and possess pure human beings. As it stands, only Nergal and his son, Nergal Jr. have mastered the ability to electrify their opponents through their tentacles, and there are three Nergal Demons - Nergal, Nergal Jr., and Slender Man - are known to possess the ability too teleport themselves away in a flash of bright white light. Of all the Nergal Demons, Slender Man is the only one who cannot share his power, or love, due to his lack of eyes, therefore it is unknown if he was born a Nergal Demon, or has a place where he keeps the eye he recieved to give him his powers.
Danny moved on to the entry on Reapers, as the page listed various abilities, and the known Reapers.
So far, little is known about the Reaper's numbers, or if they are just all a family. They are, however, famous across the underworld, due to their ruler and namesake. The Grim Reaper, named Grim, as it so happens, began a clan when he married the human, Mandy Phillips. The two had two children, a young girl named MiniMandy, and a boy destined to become the new Grim Reaper named Grim Jr. The father and son are both Reapers, as the daughter is half Nergal Demon and half Human.
Reapers have various abilities, ranging from control over every bone in there body and control of them individually, such as having a hand crawl to get something, to the generation of blue demonic flames. They also have the gift of telekinesis, and the ability to possess the living. Lastly, a Reaper can extend someone's life, by adding sand to someone's hourglass (for more information on hourglasses, turn to page 713) therefore, this ability seems to be disregarded as the Grim Reaper has removed all hourglasses from the grasp of all, and they are currently hidden somewhere in his castle.
A Reaper can also call upon the inherent abilities that can be found in the specially enchanted scythe's gifted to a Reaper once he reaches the age of majority for a Reaper, which is nineteen years of age. A Reaper's scythe can cut through all known materials, bar other scythe's, and once the cut is made, there is no known way not kept secret by the Reapers on how to repair the cut. A Reaper can also cut a swathe of air aside, leaving a tear between worlds, allowing travel through time, space, and dimensions. A Reaper's scythe also has the ability to act as a magical receptacle, by launching bolts of fire at a target, generating light, deflecting incoming energy blasts, and putting up protective barriers. The handle of the Grim Reaper's scythe is known to have the ability to shift into an item from popular Human fiction, known as a lightsaber.
The last portion of a Reaper's power are the abilities granted to them by their robes. Their custom made robes can shift their size and form, and is often used in combat. The durability of such wear is legendary, being able to stand hits that would be able to shatter steel as if they were nothing. The Reaper can also take advantage of the ability to have pockets and pouches on the robes capable of holding an entire set of luggage's contents. This is often why these robes are coveted by thieves around the underworld, as a chance to carry out practicallly everything in one go, rather tht several, is too good of an opportunity for most to just forget about the possibilities.
He skimmed to the last category, it describing the various Seventh Level Demons, and then a basic power list.
Seventh Level Demons tend to be far more impulsive, dangerous, and overall, much more cruel. Some of the more well known Seventh Level demons are Aku, Hellboy, Trigon, Him, Satan, and Her. A few of the abilities of Seventh Level Demons include the ability generate demonic flames, and are the most agile of all the major races in the underworld. They can possess other demons, if powerful enough, and serve the lords of the underworld. They, as a race, are mostly under the jurisdiction of Him, the ruler of the Land of Tainted Souls. He, along with Aku, Hunson Abadeer, The Grim Reaper, and a being known only as Walker, preside over the five largest regions of the underworld, though all answer to Satan, although the lord of all evil is a bit eccentric and ran off with a troublesome ghost known only by the name of Billy as he and his guardian disappeared, and have not been heard from since.
Danny had just finished reading, a bit surprised and more than a bit angry that Walker ruled the ghost zone. When Him came back into the room. "Ah, good, your done. I have a preposition for you. I would like to transfer the power of a Nergal Demon, Reaper, and Seventh-Level Demon into you, along with a bit of pure ectoplasm to strengthen you. Well, what is your answer?" Him said, looking expectantly at Danny, already knowing the answer.
Danny looked at Him with an absolutely priceless look. He eventually came to, before he nodded, as Him smirked. He removed a smoky gray crystal from his pocket, which he placed on to the pedestal within the ritual circle. Him also placed three bowls on the pedastal as well. The first held pure ectoplasm, the second, Him's blood, and the third held a bit of Mimi's blood. He had included Mimi because he was trying to share her telepathic and telekinetic powers with Danny, and it would strengthen the demonic aspect of his new powers as well.
Him smiled darkly, grabbing Danny's arm and leading him to a operation table. He had him lay down, and injected tranquilizer into the boy to limit struggling. Him then grabbed a scalpel, and cut apart the black and white jumpsuit. He then made small incisions along the skin of his apprentice, eventually forming an inverted pentagram. He cast a spell, as the skin became blackened and charred, before dissolving into nothing. Him saw Danny's ribs, and beyond that, a human heart. Next to the heart, however, was his goal. There was a pulsating orb of bluish energy, lazily drifting in Danny's ribcage. Him smirked, seeing his aprentice's ghost core, or source of power. Him grabbed the ectoplasm, and carefully moved it into Danny's ribcage, where, he used a bit off magic to leech off a bit of Mimi's power. He levitated the bowl, as it slowly approached the core. When he got it closer, the core seemed to be drawn to the bowl, and eventually, the ectoplasm began to rise out of the bowl.
The two met, and began to fuse, as Him removed the bowl, smirking at the success. He slipped a secondary agent in, a small device that would 'ensure' his charge's loyalty. He then grabbed his blood, and placed it into a surgical needle, before placing the tip of the needle right on his apprentice's heart. He slid it a millimeter into the organ, before injecting his own blood into Danny's heart, and repeating the process with Mimi's blood. 'Now that the easy part is over, time for part two.' Him thought deviously. He grabbed the crystal, and bagan to chant. A dark green, almost black, mist began to ooze from the crystal, and form a clous of throbbing power. It drifted lazily around the room as more and more of it drifted out of the crystal. Eventually, it stopped, as it began to condense, and form a halo of dark energy around Him and Danny.
Him's chanting got louder, as the chant reached it's apex, before the cloud of mist began to pour itself into Danny's core. The halfa began to shake, taking in the massive amounts of power, as his core expanded and shifted. It began to expand rapidly, as more and more mist forced it's way in. It began to glow brighter, getting too bright as Him had to look away. The flow of mist stopped, as the light slowly lessened, before the outburst of power ceased, as Him finished his chant. He looked at the area he had removed from his apprentice's chest, and smirked when he saw a massive globe of swirling colors, as it started to settle on a reddish blue hue, tinged with a bit of black. Slowly, the skin Him had removed began to shimmer into existence around the wound, and knit back together, leaving the area unblemished. Him called in a demon, and had him take the teen to his quarters (Danny's quarters, not Him's).
He grabbed the crystal, placing it in his pocket, and cast a spell, as the area was consumed with demonic flames. The flames, which died down after a second, left nothing there, as if the ritual never happened. Meanwhile, back at Reaper Castle, Grim Jr. began to scream. He fell down, convulsing, as he lapsed into the sweet land of dreams. General Pain ran to the young prince, grabbing him and taking him to his father.
GRIM'S POV
Grim sighed, thinking about how Minnie had almost been lost to them. He was glad that Doctor Finklestein had owed him a favor, and had resurrected Mimi for him. He was about to take a sip of his tea, when General Pain burst into the room, and he was carrying an unconscious Junior. "Junior! Pain, what happened?" Grim said, worried. Pain looked confused, saying, "I don't know, Master. I was standing guard at the throne room, when I heard a scream. I ran down the hall, and he was on the ground convulsing, and had fallen unconscious by the time I got here. Do you have any idea what could have caused that?" Pain finished, looking distraught.
Grim looked down at Junior, seeing a pained look on his face, and sighed. "Go get Mandy and Minnie, We have to find out what happened." Pain nodded, dreading his Mistress' Reaction, and hurried off. Grim frowned, seeing movement on Junior's back, and flipped him over. He grabbed his scythe, slicing away the garments, and gasped when he saw the Nergal Demon tentacles Junior had recieved from Minnie dying. He backed up, realizing what that could mean, and Looking at the doorway when he heard the thundering of footsteps. He saw Mandy jog in, followed by Pain carrying an unconscious Minnie. Grim sighed, fearing the worst, as Mandy leaned down, examining the writhing mass of tentacles dying on Junior's back.
Grim looked at Pain, saying, "Summon Nergal, and Nergal Jr. I think Juniors Nergal Demon powers seem to be dying, and since Minnie is connected to them, since they used to be hers, she is afflicted as well. Get them here NOW!" He yelled the last part, looking worried.
DANNY'S POV
Danny looked around, and noticed that he was in a sort of conference room. He saw a desk, with an odd . . . . . . thing, sitting in a chair behind it. He saw it turn to look at him getting up at walking towards him. "Hello young ghost! I am Nergal."
SO, WHAT DID YOU ALL THINK?
IN CASE YOU DIDN'T FIGURE IT OUT, HE IS ABOUT TO DO THE THING ABOUT RELIVING THE PERSON'S LIFE, AND THE EXPLANATIONS ABOUT POWERS.
