~~Responsibility~~

Walker's POV Words:372

I glared at the paperwork that had invaded my office desk and part of the walls around me. Plasmius was adamant in his demands that Skulker and I provide a continuous stream of non- sentient and semi-sentient ghosts to shove through the ghost portal. As far as I know it's a part of his plan to have Phantom fight to exhaustion. It's a decent plan, but its hell to make happen. Most of my men are out trying to find more animalistic ghosts because those sentient enough to figure out what we were doing either banded together to defend themselves or know how to hide. Damn this was getting really old, really fast. If Plasmius just let me…

But the elder halfa was clear that I wasn't to willfully go after the child again, I could wait, the younger halfa was bound to cross paths with me again. Then, Phantom would be all mine. I just hope that his sidekicks would tag along with him, if I could get his hands on one of them Phantom would be at my mercy.

Plasmius was clearly insane, for lots of reasons, but he actually believes that Phantom will one day give in and be his son. With an obsession like that, the older halfa was more ghost than human. It makes me wonder what would happen if he met some unfortunate 'accident', would he die like a human or just become full ghost? Not that I would ever try something on him, it would be against the rules.

Phantom though, he had broken the rules; illegal human contraband in the Ghost zone, prison break, insubordination, prison break, overthrowing Prince Argon in his own territory, and prison break. But the one crime that Phantom committed, the one crime that deserved obliteration, was creating the ghost portal.

I know it was his parents that built it, but it was him that got it to work. Ever since that day the Ghost Zone was in an unorganized chaos. Phantom takes responsibility for the ghosts that trespass into his world, but it isn't enough. He's responsible for this whole mess, he should suffer for it. Slowly, painfully, locked away in one of the isolation cells, he will suffer.

Author's Note:

Walker is a fun character to have his head opened up and examined. :)
