Chapter Four
Traversing the Catacombs
Skulker came to a screeching halt as a glowing blue shield appeared in front of the portal. He scowled at the shield as the rest of the ghostly army came to a screeching halt and then waited to see what was happening.
"Where do you all think you're going?" A figure appeared directly in front of the portal. They wore a snowy white cloak with the hood pulled up to cover their face with a clasp in the shape of an hour glass holding it closed. Nothing else could be seen of the figure due to the cloak.
"We're heading to the human world to help the one known as Danny Phantom face Vlad Plasmius." Skulker stated with a growl to his voice.
"Plasmius has caused too much damage and has to be stopped before he truly tears the two worlds apart." The figure stated calmly as a hand covered in a black fingerless glove appeared and summoned what seemed to be a glowing green portal that showed Vlad standing in front of a burning earth before flicking to show a desolate ghost zone. "But to stop him you must be able to unite together with the one known as Phantom. To do so…you must have similar reasons to unite…so what reasons do you have to help the one known as Phantom and to fight against Plasmius?"
The crowd of Ghosts all began to mutter among each other trying to figure out what the figure wanted. "And if we don't give you a good enough reason?" Pandora spoke up as she gripped onto her spear tightly, her horse neighing in agitation.
"Then you shall not pass." The figure stated simply as the shield seemed to grow even brighter. "All of you are needed to face what shall happen on the other side of this portal before it gets much worse." They explained as another portal appeared with all the ghosts passing through the portal before changing to them being blasted away from said portal. "If you cannot all pass then none shall. So you all must be able to agree on one, a single reason, to go and help on the other side. Now the question is…what reason will you all agree on to tell me?"
The entirety of the make shift Ghost Army were stunned Silent.
TeenTitans
"Beast Boy?" Raven questioned as she woke up from her sleep, still curled up in the green fur of her friend. She could tell that some time had passed and that her body was healing at an accelerated rate due to her trance. Her friend on the other hand though.
The growling purr that answered her call was answer enough on how Beast Boy was doing. Still feral and savage. She was unsure of how to make him return to his original form and return to a civil personality. She was wondering what had even happened to him to cause such a change in the boy she knew.
"Are we in a safe place in the real world?" She questioned aloud as she left thoughts of Beast Boy's situation for the moment. She was startled by the growl emitted lowly, a comforting sound and nuzzle to her cheek. Raven smiled as she rubbed at the head of the Beast. "I'll take that as a yes."
The Beast continued to purr and growl as Raven contemplated on what to do and where she would need to go once she was healed enough to actually move. She needed to find her friends and find a way to return Beast Boy back to his more civil mind. She'd need to find out what had happened to him to be able to return him.
"Just a little bit longer Beast Boy and I'll be able to move." She muttered as she closed her eyes and concentrated on healing.
TeenTitans
"Alright, go left now make a right." Cyborg spoke into the come as he watched the dots make turns. "You're in a new area now Flash, so keep going. I'll let you know if you go in a circle."
"Got it!" Flash replied as he ran carefully through the catacombs. "How are you doing over there Sups?"
"Good I guess. I can't see through the walls clearly but I see enough to get a gist of what's ahead of me." He sent back as he continued forward.
"That'll be the natural materials in the wall. It's blocking out a lot of your x-ray vision." Cyborg explained as he looked over towards Starfire's own tracker. "Go left Star, then you can go two rights and you'll hit a new area."
"Roger friend Cyborg." Starfire chimed as she took the turns accordingly. "Friends…it has gotten quite cold here."
Cyborg frowned at this information as he looked at the thermometer he had attached to each Hero. The temperature dropped whenever a ghost was around and so the cyborg thought that if he could read the surroundings and its change it would help forewarn them. And looking at Starfire's own thermometer he saw the temperature had indeed dropped considerably.
"Your belt is on, right Star?" He questioned as he sent a signal off to Robin to let him know that something was happening on their end.
"Yes, it's on. Should I use this soup container?" She questioned.
"Not yet. Only use it when you see a ghost and it's weakened." Cyborg explained as he began to lead Superman and Flash over towards where Starfire was. It was a sure bet that where one ghost was, the civilians wouldn't be too far behind.
"How far away am I?" Flash asked.
"Take another five rights and two lefts then you'll head straight until you hit her." Cyborg stated frantically as sounds of battle came from Starfire's com.
"How far away is she from me?" Superman called as he flew through the tunnels.
"Two rights, a left, a right, three lefts, and then head straight until you hit her." Cyborg directed the Man of Steel before turning to Starfire again. "Star, what's going on? Is there a ghost there?"
"Yes." Starfire replied. "There are many of them. I am surrounded by them. Shadows with red eyes."
"Superman and Flash are on their way. Just hold on until they get there." Cyborg said urgently as he watched the dots get ever closer together.
"They'll not make it in time."
Batman
"Tell me how we're supposed to find these two ghosts then?" Batman questioned as he looked over the wreckage that had once upon a time been a regal mansion. Now it was nothing but timber and burnt wood and metal.
Slade held up a machine that looked similar to a cell phone, but on the screen was a graph and little dots beeping on it. There were only two dots directly in front of them, right where the mansion once stood. "A ghost tracker?" Robin questioned as he took the device and looked it over before looking at the two dots that were laying on top of the mansion's location.
Slade nodded his head as he pointed at the burnt mansion. "So they're in there." Batman said as he pulled out an Ecto-Bo-Staff. "Do you know where exactly they'll be located in the…wreckage?"
Slade nodded his head as he leapt from the wall they were perched on and towards the decrepit mansion. He picked out a window that he knew was near the basement and slipped inside. 'They have to be here.' He thought as he looked around the hallways, taking in the damage that had been caused from his explosives. 'I'll kill them when I get them.' His fists clenched as his anger began to consume him. A familiar feeling that had left him since he had taken the child in.
Batman ran a hand over a beam that was exposed against the wall, watching as parts disintegrated from where he had touched it. "Be careful. This place is unstable and any hits to it could bring it down on our heads."
"Got it." Robin replied as he pulled out his own ecto-bo-staff. "Slade, will you be able to handle Plasmius?" Robin questioned as he looked at his enemy turn ally.
Slade nodded his head in agreement. He knew what Plasmius was capable of the most. He had listened to Phantom explain the man to him over and over. The tactics he used. The way he thought. The way he breathed. The way he ate Fruitloops.
He'd be able to handle Plasmius just fine.
"We'll be taking that new ghost." Robin said as he looked at his mentor. "We'll be able to take any surprises and flow with them."
"Like old times." Batman smirked as the three of them came to a corner that Slade had them stop at. "Looks like we're there."
Slade nodded his head as he slipped around the corner and to the doors that were hanging off of their hinges. 'This is the place.' Slade thought as he made a hand signal to the other two and began to move towards the doors silently. The two justice crusaders followed carefully behind him.
Slade looked through the doors but could see nothing but black. No light reached into the room and nothing created any light within. 'Is this a trap?' Slade thought as he began to take a step back.
Only for a hand to reach out from the darkness and wrapped around his throat, pulling him into the room.
"Slade!" Robin shouted as he stood up but did not try to follow the captured villain. "I think they know we're here." He stated to his mentor.
Batman nodded his head in agreement. "We go cautiously from here. Stay behind me and protect my back."
Robin nodded his head and followed Batman into the room, the older man's flashlight coming out of his utility belt and into his hand. The silence consumed the room, causing the hair on Robin's neck to rise. "Slade wouldn't go down without a fight." Robin whispered, catching Batman's attention.
"So?" He questioned back just as quietly.
"If he was grabbed, he wouldn't go quietly." Robin repeated as he looked around the room nervously. "There would be sounds of him fighting…not the silence that we're listening to right now."
Batman paused where he was and turned to look at Robin.
Only for several arms to grab a hold of his arms and legs.
"Run!" Batman shouted as he was dragged back into the darkness, his flashlight and staff dropping from his hands.
"Batman!" Robin shouted as he reached out for the man but was too late.
Batman disappeared into the shadows against his will.
"It's been a while since I last saw you Robin." A suave voice spoke, causing Robin to spin in a circle, trying to find the source of the voice. "The last time I saw you was when you took away my apprentice."
"He was never your apprentice." Robin hissed as he held onto his bo-staff, ready to attack when the ghost appeared. "He will never be yours Plasmius." Robin smirked. "At least not as long as Slade and I are alive and kicking."
"I guess I'll have to fix that then, huh." Plasmius said as his red eyes appeared behind Robin, along with his white fanged grin. "After all, I just took out both Slade and Batman within seconds. You'll be no problem at all."
Robin frowned just as a hand wrapped around his face.
The Boy Wonder disappeared into the darkness.
TeenTitans
"They'll not make it in time."
Starfire gasped in horror as she whipped around to face glowing red eyes, sharp white teeth, and flaming white hair. "You are the one who attacked my friends, are you not?" She questioned as she prepared to attack the creature in front of her, anger glowing in her belly.
"And if I am?" He questioned as he circled the girl, trying to figure out a way to take her out quickly. He wasn't sure if he'd be able to handle the likes of the Flash and Superman at once at the moment.
"Then I shall destroy you!" Starfire shouted as she launched herself at the ghost, the Fenton Deflector was activated and gave her more confidence against the demon.
"I don't think you will." He stated as he disappeared. Starfire growled in annoyance before yelping in pain as claws racked down her back. "You might not be susceptible to being overshadowed, but I can still hurt you. All I have to do is be faster than the belt."
Starfire gulped as she turned to try and find the one that was actually landing hits. The shadows of ghosts the surrounded her were still there. None of them had actual shapes or faces. Just black shadows with red eyes. None of them had been able to touch her and were too slow to avoid her starbolts and were destroyed easily. This one she could not see nor hit easily.
"Come out and face me like a warrior!" Starfire spat as she prepared to use both hands and eyes to attack rapidly. She wasn't about to be taken by surprise again. Not like last time.
"As you wish." The voice stated maliciously. Starfire blinked as the ghost appeared, watching as the white flamed hair flickered rapidly while those crimson eyes glowed demonically. "It's been so long since I last saw a Titan alive. I wonder if your screams will sound as good as the last Tamaranian. As I tore her eyes out of her socket and her heart out of her chest."
The red head glared fiercely as she fired up her eye beams. "I will not scream for a monster such as yourself." She stated and then attacked.
The ghost laughed at her as his cape swirled around him, confusing Starfire as she lost sight of the being. "I wouldn't be so sure of that." Pain tore through the girl's back as claws ripped through skin. She shrieked in pain before lashing out with a leg and felt her foot connect with something. A grunt was her response before a hand wrapped around her ankle and slammed her into the wall of the catacombs.
Starfire groaned as she blinked her eyes against the pain in her head. "My head." She groaned as she struggled to pull herself out of the wall imprint, but was unable to before she was ripped from the wall and then slammed into the floor and then into the ceiling and then the wall again. "Stop!"
"I don't think so girly." The ghost stated with a smirk before reaching over and grabbing a hold of the Fenton Deflector around her waist. "Did you guys really think that this would stop me?" He questioned haughtily as his claws dug into the sparking appliance. "This has never stopped me. Not then. Not now. Not EVER!" He roared as he ripped the belt off, receiving a screech from Starfire.
"Get away from her!" A fist slammed into Dan's face, sending him flying away from the flinching Tamaranian. "Are you okay?" Superman questioned as stood in front of her.
"I shall be fine." Starfire assured as she rubbed at her midriff, wondering if she'd have scaring from the cuts from the belt. "He is able to grab the belt. He tore it off of me." She warned, hands glowing green.
"I see." Superman said as he flared up his heat vision. He was ready to attack the standing ghost.
"Don't start this party without me." Flash exclaimed as he looked at the two, blinking as he saw the man of steel. "How did you get here before me?"
"I crashed through a few walls." The Kryptonian replied as he fired off lasers at the ghost.
Dan smirked at the group as he dodged the attack and sped towards them. "Three against one, don't think you'll be able to beat me with such a pitiful team." He stated.
"Just because Batman isn't here, doesn't me we can't still kick your as…sets." Flash switched as he saw the glare that Superman sent at him. "Besides, me and Sups got this."
"I am also here!" Starfire stated excitedly. "I will help defeat you!"
Dan stared at the three with a raised brow before a smirk stretched across his face. "Well, I doubt it."
Just then several hands gripped onto Superman and Flash, gripping onto the men tightly. "What the hell!" Flash screeched as his Fenton Deflector was ripped off and tossed away, Superman's own disappearing quickly.
"Just because you had Batman last time, doesn't mean you'll win this time." Dan stated as he stood in front of the three mortals, all three in the grasps of possessed humans. "Especially since I've been able to get pass those idiotic Fenton Deflectors for decades."
"This isn't over." Superman stated as his eyes glowered red, only to gasp in horror as a green glow settled in front of him.
"Oh but it is." Dan stated as he held the kryptonite, or rather a pair of metal tipped gloves did. "Plasmius gave this little gem to me. I knew it would come in handy." He stated with a grin.
"Kryptonite." Superman gasped out as his body slumped in the grasps of the ghosts. "How?"
"You see, this is also Ecto-Ranium, a substance that is deadly to ghosts." Dan explains happily. "And apparently one of you Justice League freaks destroyed a meteor and those pieces scattered around the earth. Easy pickings for those who know what they're looking for."
"And let me guess," Flash drawled out, "this Pluto dude knew exactly what he was looking for?"
"That's right." Dan stated as he stuck the piece of Kryptonite onto Superman's shirt so that he wouldn't have to hold onto it. "We have several more pieces as well, but you won't have to worry too much about that since one is more than enough to keep the Man of Steel down and out."
Flash scowled at the information before looking at Starfire, who was barely holding her head up at the moment. It was obvious the Tamaranian was exhausted and still healing from the earlier fights she had been in. The speedster was surprised and impressed she had lasted as long as she had. "So, what are you going to do with us now?" He questioned as he glanced at the ghost.
Dan smirked as his form went intangible. "I'm going to take control of you, Flash, and take you to Plasmius. From there…" A sinister chuckle and glowing crimson eyes was all that Flash had seen before his vision went black. "Destroy the world." Flash stated with glowing crimson eyes.

"Sam?" Danny called out, wondering where his friends had gone. "Tucker? Jazz? Are you guys there?" He called and called over and over again. He was left in the dark small space and he wasn't sure what exactly had happened. It had been a blur of colors and movement and sounds.
"Hey, can anyone hear me!?" He called out as he banged on where he thought the door might be. His legs were starting to cramp up and he was starting to feel slightly claustrophobic. The air was heating up and he was starting to sweat copiously. "Let me out of here!"
The dark was starting to really close in on him and he felt as if that little bit of room was starting to close in on him quickly. "Some let me out of here! Now! Please!" He called out, wanting out of wherever Dash had shoved him this time. He didn't think it was his locker as the sides were more plaster and wood than metal.
"Please! Let me out!" He shouted as sweat began to fall down his face and into his eyes, stinging them. He knew he was starting to panic, something he was told never to do when in stressful situations. His mother had been adamant about that as it stopped him from thinking logically and critically.
So he did something his mom had taught him to do when he was starting to panic. He closed his eyes, crossed his arms over his chest, and took in deep even breaths. He counted to five with each inhale and let it out with a count of five as well. He did that several times as he relaxed.
The claustrophobia disappeared and the sweat began to dry, leaving him feeling sticky and crusty at the same time.
He then slammed his foot outwards and watched with satisfaction as the door was knocked open and he climbed out.
Turns out that Dash had found a little cupboard in the locker room that he had locked him in.
DannyPhantom
"Seems you know how to keep calm after all." Nocturne said with a little admiration in his voice. "Though you panicked a lot when you gained your ghost powers."
"That's because I was half dead at fourteen." Danny stated as he came to the world of dreams that he kept getting dragged back into after each memory. "Of course I was going to panic when I found out that I was half dead with the abilities of ghosts when I'm just barely old enough to start growing chest hair." Danny snapped at the other gruffly.
Nocturne smiled as he looked at the teen in front of him. "Seems you're starting to gain back your wit Phantom. Starting to understand why we are going through your memories?" He questioned smugly.
Danny snarled but nodded his head. "Those are the characteristics I had when I played the hero.
Facing kidnappers that wanted to use him and his mom to get money from Vlad.
"Courage."
Helping Sam and stopping Dash on the playground, explaining why one shouldn't do one thing or why the other was wrong.
"Leadership."
When Sam was kidnapped and he got everything needed to get her back by paying attention and memorizing the type of car and license plate.
"Intelligence."
When Sam's mom had yelled and slapped him when she found out her daughter was missing. When he didn't tell his mother who had hit him and instead stayed quiet about it so that there wouldn't be any charges pressed. Because he knew his mother would charge the distraught woman with assault despite the situation.
"Compassion."
Being locked in that cupboard with no way out and panicking before he got a hold of himself and concentrated on getting out.
"Composure. Those were all things that I used to try and be a hero." Danny stated calmly as he glared at the nightmare ghost.
Nocturne smiled and nodded his head. "You needed a reminder of what made you a good…" He sighed as he shook his head, "hero. Though I'm loath to admit that in anyway." He explained as he waved his hand and soon they appeared in the streets of Amity Park where civilians were walking around with smiles on their faces. "Since you destroyed the portal and Plasmius's portal, Amity Park has stopped being overrun and returned to the boring setting of humans." He explained.
"Good for them." Danny muttered sarcastically with a roll of his eyes. "All it took was the death of some of its residents and a teacher for it to happen."
"Yes, a sacrifice that you endured bravely. You suffered things that no ghost nor human should." He brought the two to Vlad's lab where Danny suffered great pain and horror. "You persevered through the torture and the damage like a true warrior and hero." The ghost then took them to the ally where Slade had found a destroyed boy. "And then you proceeded to get up and gain your strength back."
"Yes, and now I'm here listening to you." Danny growled as he looked down at his hands. His own hands that he had gotten back after getting Desiree to change him and Robin back. "Why am I here? I should be back with my Master."
"That's because you forgot." Nocturne growled right back as he loomed over the boy. "You forgot who you were, who you fought for, and why you fought in the first place. You forgot everything that made you a hero to the inhabitants of Amity Park." He stated as his body continued to grow while Danny watched with narrowed eyes. "You are close to becoming what you despised the most, what you wish not to become!"
An image of Amity Park destroyed and in flames appeared around them. Danny stared in disbelief as Dan appeared with a smirk on his face. "I told you Danny…it's only a matter of time before you turn into me." Dan laughed while Danny pale din horror.
"This is what's going to happen if you don't get yourself back together and be the hero that you were always meant to be!" Nocturne spat out.
Danny glared at Dan as he felt his body growing hot, so hot that it was beginning to hurt, but he didn't stop it. "You want a hero?" He questioned as he turned towards Nocturne with his eyes glowing neon green.
Nocturne shrunk down so that he could be eye to eye with the halfa. "No." He stated calmly as his own eyes glowed crimson. "I never even wanted you to exist, but you do." He explained as he watched Danny's body begin to glow white around the edges and his hair began to bleed white. "But the world wants a hero. The city of Jump City want a hero. After all, your worst nightmare is running rampant there."
Danny's body was burning beyond belief. He felt like his entire being was melting or burning away. "Well…they aren't getting a hero." HE snarled angrily as he brought his white gloved fists up and they began to glow with green ghostly energy. "They're getting me!" He shouted as he disappeared in a flash of green.
Nocturne stood there with a bemused smirk and a raised brow. "Is that what you wanted to happen?" He asked.
"One of the paths was preferable." Clockwork said as he appeared next to the Dream Ghost. "It is better than him turning into Dan but worse than him returning to being a hero with the Teen Titans." He explained with a blank face.
"Will this turn out well then?" the starry bodied ghost began to walk away. "If it doesn't, I'm not coming back to help him, I did what I could."
"It would be a bad idea to make him go through this a second time." Clockwork agreed as he watched the other disappear into the abyss. "Besides…" He said with a smile falling on his face, "all is as it should be." And disappeared.
DannyPhantom
"What are we going to say?" Youngblood questioned as he looked at the others. "Phantom needs help and we can't do that stuck in here!" He exclaimed as he raised his sword into the air.
"I don't know brat." Skulker growled as he crossed his arms. "Any ideas that'll be helpful here?"
"We could tell him that we just want to save our own skins." Sydney Poindexter stated.
"No, that won't work. He'll keep us here if we say that." Skulker rebutted with a gut feeling that they were running out of time. They needed an answer now.
Shouts and suggestions were all shouted out to the Ghost Hunter but Skulker was losing his temper and pulled out his gun and began to shoot the other ghosts, which started a fight. "Shut up you lot! I can't listen to all of you!" He shouted.
"Who made you leader!" Spectra shouted out in annoyance of her own.
"Yeah! You aren't out leader!" Youngblood shouted.
"We only listen to the Great One!" Frostbite shouted as well as he and his people joined into the fight.
"We aren't leaving anytime soon, are we?" Pandora questioned as she looked Princess Dora.
"Not like this we are not." She agreed as she watched the brawl overtake almost every ghost there. "Though I think one shall be able to help stop the fighting." She pointed towards a figure that flew over to the figure blocking the portal.
"The weak one?" Pandora questioned as the Box Ghost stopped where he was. "I guess this was a waste of time."
"No, do not give up hope just yet." Dora said as she thought about all the times that she had had a conversation with the Box Ghost in her kingdom. Even though he was weak in powers and skill, he wasn't actually weak in the mind. He was surprisingly insightful and knew a lot of history, most likely because of the contents in his boxes were almost always books. "Let's see how he handles that ghost."
"It is good to see someone come forward." The mysterious ghost stated, his voice echoing over the fighting ghosts and halting the fight.
"Box Ghost! Get away from there!" Skulker shouted as he reached out to pull the other away, but was stopped by another shield, boxing the white robed figure and the box ghost in together. "No! Don't say a word you imbecile!"
Box Ghost gulped as he glanced at Skulker and then turned towards the figure in front of him. "You are one of the weaker ones here but you come forward to speak." The figure said as he brought both hands out, revealing that the black gloves were covering blue skin, and clapped. "I applaud you for your courage."
"Thanks." Box Ghost said as he rubbed his hands together. "You wanted to know why I wanted to help Phantom right? Despite the fact that we weren't really friends at all."
"That is correct." The hands disappeared into the robe. "Why do you want to help Phantom in this time of strife? Keep in mind that you are answering for every ghost here and that your answer will determine if you'll be allowed through to the mortal realm."
Box Ghost gulped as shouts and screams came to him from the other side of the shield but soon it stopped, all the sound being blocked now. "Ignore them, they are imbeciles who all think you are stupid." The overall wearing ghost swore he saw a gleaming white smile underneath the hood. "We know better though, don't we Howard?"
Box Ghost blinked in surprise at hearing his real name before smiling shyly. "I haven't heard that name in decades." He admitted before squaring his shoulders as he remembered some of his life as a human. He had worked in a moving company and had access to as many boxes as he wanted. He had packed something valuable up but couldn't find it and had died underneath a pile of boxes looking for it. He hadn't always been weak and useless and he was going to show that now.
"The reason why I want to help Phantom, why we should all want to help him, is because he helped me!" He stated confidently as he remembered his thoughts on coming here in the first place.
"Oh? How did he help you?" The figure questioned curiously.
Here Box Ghost stalled for a second before puffing up his chest. "I was nothing but weak in the Ghost Zone, no one cared nor wanted to befriend me." He explained as he glanced at the ghosts behind him, taking in the fact that they were still beating against the shield to get him to stop, though no sound came through. "Then I met Phantom and he took me serious the first few times we fought. Then he got stronger and stronger and I started having more trouble fighting him. It got to the point where he didn't even try to fight me anymore and just sucked me into that cylindrical container."
"How does that help you?"
Box Ghost smiled at that. "It's because after each defeat, I came here and I trained, I made myself stronger in ways that I had hoped would beat him in our next confrontation." He explained. "He made me want to get stronger for the first time since I became a ghost and when I was having a hard time, he did actually talk to me." He remembered that confrontation well, since it was one of the last times he had seen Phantom before he disappeared.
He had been sitting on the clock tower in Amity Park when Phantom had sat next to him. "Why do you look so down Boxy?" Phantom had asked, swinging his legs back and forth as he looked at the other ghost.
He had shrugged his shoulders at the time, waiting to be sucked into the thermos. IT hadn't happened and instead Phantom had just sat there next to him the entire time. Not saying a word and just waiting. "None of the others take me seriously." He had admitted with a sigh. "I'm nothing but a joke to them."
Phantom had laughed at that and nodded in agreement, causing him to slump forward even more. "Of course they do, why wouldn't they think that! You don't even try to make yourself better like they do!"
Box Ghost had turned to him in astonishment as he took that in. "What do you mean by that?"
Phantom smiled and explained. "Though most ghosts have certain levels of energy when they first come into existent, that doesn't mean that's the level their stuck in for the rest of their undead life. They can train and get into fights to make them stronger. You have trained or even tried to better yourself. If you did that, then you'd get stronger and the others would take you seriously after a while."
After that, Box Ghost had gone and trained, worked to become stronger. He still wasn't on the level as some of the others were, but he was getting there. "He's helped me to get stronger and even though I'm still not as strong at everyone else, even though I'm still one of the weakest ghosts here, I'm not the weakest one anymore! I'm stronger because Phantom made me want to get stronger and be able to do more things. I've even invented some weapons that I didn't have before." He explained happily as he pulled out little metal cubes from a pocket proudly.
"I see." The figure said.
"So I want to help him become stronger and show him how much stronger I've become. I want to help the one that helped me to make myself better even when everyone else made fun of me and made my life harder."
"That's a very good reason Box Ghost." The figure stated as the shields fell down and sound suddenly came back into existence. "So I shall allow you and the others to pass and help the one who helped you."
With that the figure disappeared, leaving the portal wide open to the astonishment of the other ghosts.
"What did you say to him?" Skulker questioned in disbelief.
The Box Ghost smiled as he motioned to the portal. "That I just wanted to help." He said. "So let's go and help Phantom and show those goons why they should BEWARE THE BOX GHOST!" He shouted at the end and disappeared through the portal.
Skulker barked out a laugh at that as he too moved towards the portal.
