A/N: Hello everyone and Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays. Sorry for the long wait. Holidays are hectic as you may know. I will like to thank weesnawthedemonslayer for adding this story to their alerts.
-Alex The God Killer- Yup, Thalen needs to watch his temper, but he has Leon by his side for now and the remaining halfas are also planning something. Perhaps with all of them, they can overpower Dan.
-weesnawthedemonslayer- Aww, thanks for the review. I will try to make more but you might have deduced that the story is reaching its climax and it would be time for me to move onto other projects.
-Thalen de Valdor- I'm glad that you like the extra. I decided that I needed a little light-hearted team halfa. I honestly miss writing them like a little family. And yes, there is always someone who boos. And to answer your last question... yes the Final Battle is coming.
Robin looked at the three younger halfas. He might have not known them for long, but his protective soul had already latched on. That protective streak is what was screaming at him as Alex and Sylvia explained their plan or the disjointed method that they claimed was a plan.
"Sounds good to me. The sooner we get rid of Dan, the sooner we get to go home," Gwen stated crossing her arms.
Robin looked at the hopeful gazes around him. His heart filled with dread. He knew that they already lost someone and to rush in without a foolproof plan would be suicidal. "What if the gauntlets don't work?" Robin asked. "What if we can't handle Plasmius? The original idea was to have Vlad nearby so his ghost half would go back to him. What if Dan gets the gauntlets from us and splits us in half?" Robin let the negative thought in the air.
Sylvia seemed to be the one most effected by the contradicting point of view. Her eyes seemed to look far away before focusing on Robin. She didn't shirk away from his gaze. There was a strength in her stance. "But we are fighting together. Dan can't stand against that."
"Boom, hear that. Robin I like you. I mean not like like, you know like," Gwen started awkwardly before getting herself under control. "But I agree with Alex. We can't keep running away. We take the fight to Dan and finish him."
Robin looked at the young teens in front of him. They were strong and Robin couldn't argue that the four of them could possibly trap Dan. He sighed, "Fine. If Alex and Sylvia can distract Vlad, Gwen and I will get the equipment we need."
The three halfas smirked, but separated each with their own tasks in mind.
Robin tiptoed into the billionaire's lab. He sent a glance to Gwen who had already tripped over her own feet twice. The older halfa looked at the shiny surfaces as he searched for the gauntlets. "There they are," Gwen said pointing to a glass cabinet, "of course he has to be the paranoid type." She groaned as she pointed to the key pad.
Robin looked at the lock for a moment. "What's his birthday?"
"May 15," Gwen responded. Robin nodded as he typed in "0515". The light turned red and the lock remained locked. "That worked wonderfully," Gwen commented sarcastically. The two stood there stumped for a moment and Robin was tempted to just leave with the thermos. "How about 1025?" Gwen asked pushing Robin's hands away to push the buttons. The lock turned green before sliding open.
"How did you know that? What is that number?" Robin asked looking at the girl amazed as she pulled out the large gloves.
The girl gave an almost sad smile, "It was a lucky guess. Come on, Let's get Alex and Sylvia and get out of here."

Abigail opened her eyes slowly. Her eyes were met with nothing but darkness. She panicked sitting up looking around the dark expanse of space. It was absolutely silent not even her own heartbeat broke it. The teen put a hand to her chest, but the familiar beating of a heart was missing. The black expanse lightened a bit illuminated by a dull green glow. "I am sorry," a echo-like female voice said, "I was too late to save you." Abigail searched for the sorrowful voice. Her eyes scanned the room that she was currently in. It appeared to be a basic bedroom.
She scanned the doorway. Her eyes focused on a pair of blood red eyes, the rest of the figure remained hidden in shadow. "Am I dead?" Abigail asked the eyes. The ruby orbs looked down and Abigail could feel a sob catch in her throat. She didn't need the other being to say the words to understand the message. The teen put a hand to her mouth. "I have to tell my family. I need to see them," she said the desire to see her father, mother, and brother overtaking any other thought. She was shaking uncontrollably her eyes burning with tears that would never fall.
The red eyes glowed brighter, "No! You can't do that. You can stay here in the Ghost Zone. It really isn't so bad here." The ghost didn't move from her spot still remaining hidden.
"But I need to see my family. How can I stay with a ghost I don't even know?" Abigail asked. She got up to her feet hovering a couple inches from the floor.
"You'll pass on if you see them. Seeing them is your obsession and once you complete it you disappear," the female ghost said her voice gaining a sense of urgency.
"That's okay. I..I think I am ready to go on," Abigail said with a small grin.
The red eyes refused to look at her, "you are really brave. But what about the other halfas you trained with? Sylvia? Alex? Thalen? Are you going to leave them without saying goodbye?"
Abigail thought about it for a moment. Could she really turn her back to the others? The girl knew the answer to that question; she couldn't. "I'm going to help them finish what we started, but after that I'm visiting my family." She stood resolute in front of the ghost.
Those red eyes shined proudly looking at the teen ghost with affection. Something in the ruby orbs struck something familiar in Abigail's memory. "The others are on the move. It would be best to catch up to them." The ghost turned away from Abigail.
"Wait!" Abigail called out to the familiar ghost. "Why don't you come with me? With your help, all of us can easily take Dan down."
"I can't. It is better for me to remain here," the ghost said sadness and regret clinging to the words. "Take care of yourself, Abigail," the ghost said before disappearing in a wisp of blue energy.
