The room continuously got darker and darker around Danny, the only light existing was the ominous glow from his body. He heard loud dripping sounds, surfaces from the walls fell "upwards", it looked like flesh peeling off someone's skin, but didn't make him want to throw up this time, he was too focused and prepared for what was coming. Then it started to get lighter and brighter coming into more focus...he was back int the looping corridor. No longer dark before he was taken to the fake lab, but the gentle lights were turned back on.

"I'm back?"

Then something grabbed him from behind and pushed him down to the floor.

"I'm still here, don't forget!" Dark Phantom hissed happily.

He put his legs and sat on him and held a firm grip on his arms, Danny tried to break off but couldn't. He then turned intangible and phased to the floor. Other Phantom fell two inches from where he was sitting and stood up, waiting to see where he would show up next.

Danny reappeared, frowning and ready for a fight. Dark Phantom turned and smiled.

"You still have a lot of fight left in ya? Aw well, more fun for me."

Danny charged and fired a Ecto Ray from both his hands, Dark Phantom dodged, and he, formed his own, only instead of green, it was red and purple, making it the size bigger than a basketball and aimed it at him, Danny, wide eyed at the odd attack dodged and and blasted it off with another ray. And despite the narrow hallway they had enough space without hitting the walls and knocking over the furniture. After the blasts subsided, Danny ran to blast a new one, other Phantom wasn't scared one bit and side stepped and rolled his fist into a punch to hit him, and with the right reaction and reflexes, Danny grabbed his unprotected arm, pulled him forward close enough to get to his face, and returned his own punch.

BAM!

Dark Phantom fell 10 feet further away from Danny, and rubbed his face, and gave him a dirty look.

"You're a lot stronger than I thought." Danny stated, his eyes had begun to glow blue.

"You know you cant physically kill me, I'm inevitable." Phantom spat with spite.

"Funny. My older self said the exact same thing, you're really no different." Danny said, with an unimpressed tone.

"Stop comparing me to someone who's weaker than me, since you defeated him."

"You being evil and hurting others will get you nowhere. If you defeat me and walk free from here, who will stop you? And what will you achieve by destroying everything? Tell me."

Dark Phantom only glared at him in annoyance. But said nothing.

"Loneliness. Pain. Sadness, that all you'll be awarded with." Danny's eyes glowed even more blue, he was warming up the need of his ice powers from inside for his next strategy.

"Just shut up!" Dark Phantom screamed, and he flew at full speed at him ready to blow his head off with his Ray.

"I know where it is now!" Danny declared fiercely.

"Huh?!" Dark Phantom stopped in mid air, confused then fearful, but he stopped too late.

"Hope this works." He blasted him in ice, but missing his head and torso.

"Augh! Let me go!" He ordered, but Danny kept going.

His arms and legs were frozen solid, he couldn't penetrate it. Danny avoided covering his hands, in case he could blast his way out. Now he was stuck.

For the first time, there was true look of horror on his face, he dreaded what Danny would do next.

Danny pulled out the picture pieces.

"After a lot of thinking, I know what the photo means and why you went to lengths to hide it. You wanted to "forget" your family and you stored the last remaining pieces of your humanity. Just like in a away, what my older self did. And now..."

He lifted his head to face him, holding the pieces in his fist.

"It's time to disappear!"

Danny punched his fist into his stomach, and penetrated straight through his back. Phantom screamed in agonizing pain.

"STOP! STOP! STOP! I'M GOING TO DIE! He screeched, eyes now fully red and glowing, he growled menacingly at Danny.

Danny rummaged through the pouring of blood and internal organs, he hurriedly tried to look for the hidden photo frame...then a glow from Dark Phantom's body started to shine through, he felt the torn pieces of the picture melt away. Out of panic, he pulled his hand out and opened his palm and they were gone, Dark Phantom continued to scream in pain even with his fist out his guts.

"No! This can't happen! The pieces are coming together-!" He started to throw up blood, both red and green blood, his flesh started to dissolve and peel away, hair started to turn into sawdust, and he looked at Danny, almost in a pleading expression then to rage.

"One day I'll...!"

Danny watched in shock at the sight of seeing himself bleeding, burning and rotting away, the glow from the body grew and grew more intensely the point he shielded his eyes from the light. A loud pop and booming sound came...then moments after, it subsided...and it was quiet.

He opened one eye...he was gone. He fell to the floor, letting out a breath he forgot he was holding, stared at his blood soaked gloves, which dripped to the floor, he couldn't help but be scared of what he just did, but he did it anyways..he let go of the fear and started to smile.

"I did it...I DID IT."

He let his head fall, then the rest of his body to the cold, smooth floor and he shut his eyes. He continued to smile to himself. He reverted to his human form, the tightness of his suit melted away and his lighter and softer clothes were now in it's place.

"I want to just lay here and wait for someone to take me home, but now its over, what next?"

After 5 minutes of resting, he heard a phone ring.

He sat up, tracking the source of the sound, and got up.

"Didn't know there was a phone here. Who'd be calling?"

It was close to the bathroom, and he spotted it. He picked it up, he didn't respond but listened, and a voice said;

"You've been chosen! Now leave."

"Hello? Who is this?"

No one answered, but then Danny heard a door opening, he put the phone down..the door to the stairway had opened. Danny knew what it could mean, he went to it.

"He said leave so that must mean-!?" Danny ran to the last door, and opened it..he was swallowed up by darkness.

(STATIC) STATIC)

The radioman's voice:

"Danny was such a drag. Everyday he'd eat the same kind of food, dress the same,

and sit in front of the same kind of games. Yep, he's just that kind of guy. But then he goes and kills me off. He wasn't even original about the way he did it. Not that I'm complaining.

But guess what?

I will be back.

And I'm bringing my new toys with me."

"Danny?" A voice echoed.

Danny felt his eyes were closed. He opened them. Jazz, Sam, and Tucker were looking down on him.

"He's waking up! Thank goodness!" Sam cried happily, and she instantly hugged him.

As well as his sister and Tucker, they formed a group hug. Danny was still in stunned shock and his mind had not wrapped around what was happening, he blinked his eyes many times into focus and groaned.

"This isn't a dream, right?"

"Oh shoot, everyone let go, he needs his space!" Jazz ordered, and the other two did.

Danny rubbed his face, and he moaned louder. His body started to ache, most likely from the fight. He lifted his head to look at the three most important people in his life, and a smile on his face grew bigger and bigger.

"Guys? Is it you this time?!" He cried in joy, he got up and tackled them down to the floor, laughing in relief.

The trio laid on the floor, confused yet happy, wrapped their arms around him and giggled along with him. Sam was the first to free herself and sat up.

"We were pretty freaked out, and you were gone for awhile. How did you get out?" She asked, very curious.

"It's a bit of a long story to be honest, and...well..." His smile faded and he blushed, then to a sad smile.

"What's wrong?" Jazz asked.

"It's nothing. I'll just hint to you guys about the things I saw..it's something no human could understand, but I'll tell you the rest later." He explained.

The terrible images of the attacks and the blood flashed in his mind, but he put them aside. He didn't want to be reminded. He was home at last.

"Yeah, you must be so exhausted. Are you ready to come home?" Jazz asked, putting her arm around his shoulder.

"More than anything. Thank you big sis. And I've had had enough scares to last me a lifetime."

Danny came home and everything felt the same and back to normal. However, he couldn't help but still feel like he was still stuck in the awful looping hallway when he moved in and out of his room, and he'd only been home for a couple of hours.

"After what I went through, I can't believe I'm tired and I'm going to sleep." He yawned.

He decided to not go to school the next day and to catch up on the homework Lancer had given him hours before, and maybe lie about being sick. He went to his room and sat on his bed.

I want to try and start not lying as much. I think I should tell my parents that after tonight I had a really stressful time while being at Sam's house. And I'm going to be honest about trying to do that homework, and just hope not too many ghosts show up and slow me down.

For the first time in awhile, he felt proud of himself. For being able to withstand some of the most horrifying things and still kept his head up, and self- promising to be more honest. It felt good.

It was cold. It was making Danny shiver. He wrapped his blankets tighter around himself, it wasn't helping much, then he couldn't stand it anymore.

"Oh for crying out loud..." He yawned, and sat up...now he was wide awake...because his bedroom door was opened and a light was coming from it.

"Oh no..." He whispered with dread, and his "Ghost Sense" went off.

"Really big oh no..." He grumbled.

He got out of bed and went to the door and opened it further, and he gasped.

He wasn't in the usual hallway of his house, and in fact, wasn't in his own house at all! He stepped out...in front of him, was a run down, old looking town; white-snowflake stuff was falling to the ground. Old buildings stood that looked like they could fall down at any time. What creeped him out more was how eerily quiet it was.

Danny looked down at himself, he wasn't in his blue PJ'S anymore, but in his Phantom suit.

"Where am I...? oh no, am I still in-?"

He looked up at the grey sky, the stuff that was falling was not snow he realized, but it was ashes. He looked behind himself, saw that his door was no longer there, but a playground. A swing set was nearby, and...there was someone on one swing.

He walked closer with caution, readied himself. He could see the person more clearly through the foggy air.

It was a child on the swing.

"Hello?" He asked quietly, he wasn't too sure who or what it could be but instantly he knew he couldn't trust it right off the bat.

"The child" stopped swinging.

"Hello." She answered in a bright toned voice.

Danny got closer, and as he did, he confirmed it was a girl. She slowly turned and looked at him. She wore a dark purple dress, with black knee-high socks, her hair blacker than the night and it was curly, her eyes a dark blue. She was much younger than him.

"I finally get to see you. We must talk, but I have to make it brief." She told him.

"What's your name?" Danny asked.

She chuckled softly. "I have many names; Demon, Witch, Monster, God, but you can call me Alessa Gillespie."

"Alessa? Cool name." Danny said, impressed.

"Thank you. Take a seat." She gestured her hand to the other swing.

"Wait, aren't you supposed to be some enemy?" He asked nervously, he'd hate to fight such a girl, though, I've fought countless ghost girls, even Box Lunch and I didn't hold back. But she seems way different.

"Nope. I'm not your enemy, I'm not here to kill you." She stated.

He then took the swing and had his full attention on her.

"I'll make it quick for you Danny. I am sorry for the trouble I caused you; it was me who brought you to this place and that other place where you ended up trapped." Alessa said, discouraged.

"Wait a minute! now I recognize your voice! Are you the one who said "We have to meet"?" He asked, shocked.

"Yes I am. And now time is running out, and I need your help." She said sweetly.

"Okay, with what?" Danny was really interested, if this girl needed help with something that was beyond her control, he couldn't ignore her.

If she's in trouble she probably can't protect herself and went to the trouble of bringing me all the way out here. And how old is she? she must be no more than 10.

"The people of this town have their eyes on you, and they want you." She said coolly, and with a hint of warning.

"The people of this town?"

"Yes, Silent Hill." She replied, looking away from him and at the black and white empty city.

"But why?" He asked.

Then, a roaring loud sound came, he knew this sound...and it wasn't a good one. He remembered it, it was the same sirens he heard when he was coming home from school...Danny looked at her, and jumped, startled.

Alessa's eyes were black, her skin pale white, and her face held an emotionless expression.

"Our time is up. I'll be calling for you when it's time again." She said sweetly to him.

He blinked.

He was back in his room.

"I'll be waiting."

The Ultimate Nightmare,

The End.
