Rin appeared below Danny, leaping up again to settle next to the half ghost. "Did you find it?!"

"I think so! It's located at the top, in the middle of where its head looks to be!" Danny replied, launching green fire-like ectoblasts from his palms, burning every area the fire hit.

"Okay, then let's head higher!" Rin shouted, leaping higher somehow while Danny flew, gaining height.

Rin swayed backward, pointing his sword toward the rot demon's heart. "Back up and shield your eyes! This is gonna be bright!"

Danny did as he was told, flying backward farther and farther away, eyes squinted and ready for the brightness that the half ghost knew was to come.

Rin gathered his power and watched as it built up at the tip of his sword, the orb of blue light growing and getting brighter each second.

Under a minute, the light had expanded to the size of the Impure King's whole body, Rin a speck against the power that he wielded.

With a loud battle cry, Rin surged forward, swinging his sword forward, sending the energy flying toward its target. Once the power made contact, it exploded, blinding Rin and Danny, along with the cameras that recorded them live, turning every viewer blind to the actual happenings.

From inside shelter, every citizen in Amity Park was blinded by the sudden white-blue light that shone through their windows.

It died down after a minute, and the Impure King was gone.

Danny laughed, flying toward Rin as the half demon planted himself on solid ground. "You did it!"

Rin smiled. "We did it."

Danny turned back to human, landing beside Rin.

At that moment, people flooded outside, exiting houses, shops, and Casper High.

Sam and Tucker raced forward, tackling Danny and Rin in a hug. "You two gave us heart attacks!"

Rin laughed, tail wagging. "What, did you really think we were that weak? I'm not the King of Demons for nothing, you know!"

Danny crossed his arms. "And I'm not the King of Ghosts for no reason either."

Tucker rolled his eyes, then gave Rin a guilty look. "The news caught the whole thing on camera. Your identity is compromised."

"Figures," Rin drawled sarcastically.

"Wait, did anyone see me transform?" Danny asked worriedly.

"No. Rin's light show short circuited the cameras. Too much power probably." Sam laughed.

Danny sighed in relief. "Thank Clockwork."

Moments later, Danny's parents came running through the sea of citizens. "Danny!" Maddie cried, "Are you hurt? Any broken bones? Bruises?"

"Mom, I'm fine!" Danny tried to wave her off.

"Of course you are! You're a Fenton!" Jack boomed in pride.

"I-" Rin was cut off as people seemed to go into a mass panic, watching Rin with wide eyes.

"Rin!" A voice shouted from the crowd.

A woman burst through, short, red hair flying and brown eyes wide with frantic worry. A cat sat on her shoulder. Once she spotted the half demon, she lunged forward, arms wrapping around his still-burning frame. "You dumbass! Don't ever scare me like that again! King of Hell or not, I will kill you next time!"

Rin laughed, pulling her off of him. He pouted playfully. "Be more sympathetic, Lizzy. Phantom and I did just fight a powerful rot demon."

Lizzy slugged him in the shoulder, only earning an amused chuckle in return. "Be quiet, you!"

Kuro meowed. "Rin! You should have let me help!"

"Sorry, Kuro," Rin apologized as the cat climbed onto his shoulder.

"What are you?!" A man in the crowd shouted, stepping forward, eyes narrowed in suspicion.

Rin's smile dropped and he sighed, eyes half lidded. "I'm-"

"A teenager who just fought to keep this town safe," Mr. Lancer cut in, stepping forward. "I think everybody's getting ahead of themselves. The boy hasn't done anything wrong, even if he isn't human."

Rin frowned, staring with confusion at the English teacher. "Why are you standing up for me?"

"Because I think we all owe you an apology as to how we treated you." Mr. Lancer gave a side glance, and a blonde bully stepped from his hiding place, shuffling forward, shaking with fear.

Rin stared, realizing he must look terrifying in his demon form, and switched to his human appearance. His sword hung limply in his hand, not sheathed yet.

Dash looked up. "I'm-I'm sorry for shoving you around. It was wrong, and I hope you can forgive me."

Rin frowned. "Dash, demons are known for their trickery and deceit. This also means we can sense a lie when it's heard. You're not sorry, not sorry for pushing me around, not sorry for shoving Danny around, Sam, Tucker, Mikey, Nathan, Lester, or any of the other kids. You're only sorry that you picked the wrong kid to mess with, and now that you've discovered he's a powerful demon, you're only sorry that you're about to get your hide skinned."

Dash quivered. "I-"

"Tell me the truth, Dash. What's really going on in that head of yours? Or do I have to pry?" Rin asked calmly.

"You're right. In Casper High, I'm the alpha. That's the way it's always been and pushing the losers around asserts my dominance. I shoved you around, tried to teach you that I was the leader, the boss, and you, alongside Fenton, continued to go against me, even if you didn't fight back. Now that I find out you're a demon, the Son of Satan, I don't want to get ripped to shreds because you have nothing holding you back now that your identity's out. I'm not sorry, I'm only trying to escape my punishment," Dash blurted, then slapped his hands over his mouth, eyes wide with shock.

"And by pry, I mean silently persuade you into spewing every thought swimming in your head," Rin said.

Nobody said anything as Rin poked the jock in the chest. "Get this through your thick skull, Baxter! I hate bullies! They picked on my little brother all the time when he and I were younger and I've never shown any sympathy or kindness to them! If I catch you ever ever messing with anyone else again, I'll drag you to Hell with me."

Rin continued, "One day, these 'losers' you pick on will become a billionaire, a famous artist or even a famous sport's player! They might become a worldwide business man or woman. You'll become some gas station employee who works for less than two bucks an hour, or a lowlife employee who works for minimum wage with these kids you pick on every day as your boss! Get your act together because reality's a bitch!"

Dash said nothing, frame shaking with fright. Rin scoffed. "Beat it."

Dash didn't need any more motivation, rushing into the crowd and out of sight before anyone could blink.

Rin opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly a loud whirring noise got their attention.

The whole crowd glanced up to see a large, growing rip in the sky. It swirled with green above them, loud and scratchy.

The whole of Amity gasped.

"A natural portal!" Tucker exclaimed.

"But why?" Rin asked, trying to reach his voice above the loud noise.

"I think all of the supernatural activity might have formed it!" Danny replied loudly.

Rin's brow furrowed, something clicking into his mind. Jack's voice echoed in his mind. "The disk and a natural Ghost Zone portal? Maybe Danny just creates one and we throw the disk in?"

"Maybe it is that simple," Rin uttered, glancing at the portal in the clouds.

"Rin?" Danny asked, "You okay?"

Rin pulled the disk from his pocket. "I think Mr. Fenton was right."

"About what?" Jack asked, confused.

"Throw it in," Rin echoed, quickly whipping his arm up and tossing the disk into the portal.

"Rin!" Kuro gasped.

"Are you crazy?! That was your only way home!" Lizzy cried.

Suddenly, the green portal turned to a dark blackish-blue. The trio, Fenton adults, and Lizzy gaped. Rin smirked. "Bingo."

"Is that...?" Sam breathed.

"A portal home? Why, yes. Yes, it is." Rin laughed. "Good idea, Mr. Fenton! You were right!"

"Well, I'll be!" Maddie stared in awe.

"It's time to say goodbye, isn't it?" Lizzy gazed at Rin with sad eyes.

"Yeah." Rin sighed.

"You take care of yourself, okay? Be safe. You, too, Kuro," Lizzy told him and his familiar.

"Promise." Rin smiled softly.

He turned to Danny, Sam, and Tucker. "It's been a wild ride, huh? I've never met someone who understood me so much. I hope we'll meet again in the future."

Danny smiled. "One can only hope. You'll try and come back, right?"

"To visit, yeah! It might take me a while, but I'll figure it out! Don't forget me now!" Rin laughed.

"As if!" Tucker scoffed. "Nobody's ever going to forget this."

"Here, here!" Sam agreed. "Don't forget us either!"

"Wouldn't dream of it!" Rin promised. "Farewell?"

"Farewell!" They all chorused.

Rin turned his head to the portal. "Time to go!"

One leap, one second, Rin and Kuro were gone. The portal swirled back to green and shrunk, closing.

Rin had gone home.

Yukio and the others were thrown from their conversation as a sudden yell abruptly interrupted them. "Incoming!"

The exorcists jumped back as a figure crashed into the dirt, groaning. "Damn! Worse way to land!"

"Rin?!" They all cried in shock.

"Nii-san!" Yukio cried in relief, hugging his brother close once Rin had stood up.

"Yukio!" Rin jerked in surprise. "Geez, did you really miss me that much?"

"You were missing for months! We thought something had happened to you in Gehenna!" Yukio gripped his brother's shoulders tightly. "Kuro went missing not too soon after!"

"Nah. You know how I told you that Gehenna connects to other universes?" Rin asked.

"Yeah. What does that have to do with anything?" Izumo asked impatiently.

"I stumbled into a portal, pretty much half asleep. I woke up in a different universe and it took forever to get back!" Rin said.

"How did you get back?" Ryuji asked.

"Well, I found this ancient Gehenna artifact from these two brothers who were tracking down a bunch of treasure. It helped me get here! Of course, I had to toss it into a natural Ghost Zone portal." Rin shrugged.

"Ghost Zone?" Shima asked.

"Yeah! In the other universe, there were ghosts, but they were a lot different than ours because they were more powerful! Actually, the Ghost Zone is kind of like Gehenna, only for ghosts. It connects to other universes as well," Rin explained, "Anyway, I got help from three American teens, Danny, Sam, and Tucker. Sam was a self-proclaimed goth and ultra-recyclo vegetarian, Tucker was a techno geek, and Danny was the half-ghost King of Ghosts with ghost hunters for parents."

When he was given weird and astonished looks from his friends and brother, he threw his hands up. "Hey! It was a weird universe! Anyway, Danny was half ghost and he protected his town from the evil ghosts, kind of like a superhero, only he doesn't like being called that. There was this evil half-ghost mayor, Vlad Masters, that wanted to kill Danny's dad, marry his mom, and have Danny as his son/apprentice. Not completely positive where Danny's sister fits in, but whatever! Eventually, I ended up turning Vlad human since he was too dangerous with his ghost half. I could get into the science of it, but it's way too complicated. Anyway, I worked at a restaurant called Eclipse to earn money, and the boss, Lizzy let me stay with her since I was kind of homeless. Later on, I wished Kuro was with me and somehow he appeared! I suspect it had to do with a certain wish-granting ghost Danny told me about, but that doesn't really matter!"

"To sum it up, I met the King of Ghosts, who is only half ghost, saved him from being dissected by his parents (don't ask), got rid of an evil, half-ghost mayor, a few other (un)important things, and fought the Impure King with Danny! It's a long story." Rin sighed.

His friends stood there, wide eyed and mouths open. "How-?"

"It's a long story, I told you. Although, I promised to visit again, so I'll go back eventually. Actually..." Rin trailed off, pulling something out of his pocket.

"So, it did come back to me!" Rin cheered, the disk sitting between his fingers.

"It's been a long day. Rin can tell us the full story tomorrow. I think we all need a rest." Yukio sighed.

"My brain is about to explode. How is half of that stuff even possible?!" Ryuji complained.

"It's a different universe, Bon! Anything is possible!" Rin chuckled.

Ryuji scowled, grabbing the half demon in a headlock. "Dumbass!"

"Agh! Hey! Let me go!" Rin whined.

Inwardly, Rin smiled. Rin had missed his brother, his friends.

He would be okay.

Chapter Forty complete! This is the last chapter! Any small oneshots, for example, Rin telling Yukio about his 'blast to the past', or Rin visiting Danny's universe again are welcome for my oneshot book I have posted.

There is also a VERY small chance for a sequel, but it's really small, so don't get your hopes up. I have a lot of other stories I need to finish and get posted as well. Bye my doggies!
