"Damn it..." Danny let one of his rare swears slip through his clenched teeth as he slowly felt his life force being drained out of him. Sweat forming on his brow as he kept pushing himself harder and harder.

He had to win. He had to win. He had to win!

A wave of crimson light flew towards him and he activated the Fenton Battle Suit's jet thrusters, quickly accelerating in order to dash out of the line of fire. The heat from the blast telling him just how close he had been to losing his life then and there.

"Give it up, boy!" Pariah shouted as he stood over the young ghost teen. The twisted giant grinning down at what he saw as more of a temporary piece of entertainment rather than a real threat.

"Never." Danny said angrily as he struggled to ignore the growing pain that echoed through his body. The glowing green eyes of his ghost form staying fixed on the monster that he had to overcome. Danny threw a powerful ghost ray, one magnified a hundred fold by the power of Battle Suit that smashed into Pariah Dark, pushing the Ghost King back a few steps.

Danny felt a wave of pain surge up the neral links in his spinal that connected his spinal cored to his battle suit as another chunk of his life force was drained away to pay for that last attack. 51%

Pariah Dark rushed forward, swinging around his huge mace in an attempt to crush the boy. Danny barely managed to throw up his shield in time to take the hit, but with him now stuck on the defensive, the giant just smashed into the shield again and again, draining away a little more of the boy's life with each passing blow.

"All this power! It's a burden, isn't it boy!" Pariah mocked as he saw the boy slowly withering away under the strain of keeping up his shield.

"It... isn't the power... It's how you use it!" Danny shouted. A ring of light appeared behind him and Danny channeled half of his remaining life force in order to make a copy of himself.

Pariah was caught off guard as the copy rammed itself into his chest, knocking him off his feet.

The ghost king counted by bringing down his mace on the copy, smashing it out of existence. But in that moment Danny turned on his thrusters and dashed forward, punching the king in the face.

Pariah stumbled until he regained his footing but then glared at the small boy in the metal suit. "Did you think you could beat me with such a cheap trick?" Pariah growled, a small line of green blood coming from his busted lip.

"Maybe not." Danny said grinning as he turned back to the King. Pariah's eyes widened as he saw that was in the boy's hand. The crown of fire had been snatched off of his head and was shimmering in the boy's hand, casting shadows over his face. "But I'm betting that you will miss this."

"You fool! Return my crown to me at once!" Pariah shouted, his hands irrupting in crimson flames before he shot a powerful laser at Danny. Danny counted with his own laser shot. The green and red beams crashed into each other, fighting for ground. Both Danny and Pariah were pouring everything they had into the shot. Danny knowing that he only had a little time before he was out of power and that with the crown of fire away from Pariah, the king's power would be greatly weakened. And Pariah Dark believing that the boy's life force would give out soon and that he would be free to pick his crown up off of the boy's corpse.

But what ended up happening was something that neither one had expected.

The already unstable space of the ghost zone was stirred into a frenzy by the conflicting energies. The ghostly particles accelerating to speeds nearing the speed of light, causing a rift to form in time and space which dragged both the ghosts in. Sending them to another time and place, where there battle would continue.

Danny's eyes where blurred as he stared at the monitor on his battle suit. His head was swimming from the pain, but it seemed to be so great that he couldn't really feel it anymore.

He was back in his human form, since he didn't have enough power to maintain his ghost form any longer.

The fiberglass dome that had covered his cock pit was smashed to piece and Danny struggled to pull himself out of what was left of his families battle suit. One of the arms was missing and both of the legs. As Danny crawled he realized that he couldn't feel his legs anymore. The needles that had been reading his nerves had been pulled so that they ripped open his back, taring up his nerves while they were at it. He was paralyzed from the waste down.

But even so, he couldn't stop moving. He had to make sure that everyone was safe from that monster.

When he finally managed to pull himself from the suit and got away from the smoke he found that he was in the middle of a crater in what looked to be a large city. People were crowded around the edge of the crater looking down at him, whispering in shock.

But Danny didn't have time for that, because he turned his head to the other side of the crater and his heart sank. Pariah was lying there on his back. One of his horns had been broken off and his right arms was bleeding a lot of green blood. But it was clear to Danny that the Ghost King was still very much alive.

Danny's eyes went to the crown of fire. He couldn't let Pariah get his hands on it. He had to keep it away from that beast at all costs.

Danny desperately pulled himself along the ground towards the severed arm of his mach, the flaming crown still grasped in its fingers.

The crown came out easier than expected and Danny held it close to him. "I... have to get away." He mumbled as he started to try to pull himself along the ground, away from the dark giant.

"Where... do you think you are going, child?" Pariah growled as he came too. Danny shivered as he turned his head to see Pariah standing on shaky legs. His blood red eye was trying to cut throw Danny. "Give me back my crown!"

People screamed as the monster slowly moved towards Danny.

Danny's vision was blurring too much for him to do anything. His body and been pushed far beyond its limit and he could feel his consciousness slipping away. "You... want?" Danny said as he preformed one last act of resistance, turning his chest intangible, he pushed the crown into his body. Then with one final smile, Danny's vision faded to black.

Just a short intro to a story that I thought I would jot down. I've got a new computer now, so after I get all of my old data transferred I will start up again on some of my older stories.

The basic idea here is that Danny will be saved by some people piloting ISs, who will be able to drive off the injured Pariah Dark, but then after Pariah is healed up he returns with a vengeance and Danny has to pilot a IS himself in order to stop the Ghost King.

Not sure if I will actually write this story or not. Everyone is free to the idea either way.
