I

The Gate

DM Notes- Welcome viewers, I am Drahjan MasterOfBoundaries. Welcome to the first chapter of Daniel Wraith, a re-imagining of the Danny Phantom franchise. A viewer comment that this was a great AU concept, but it's actually not an AU. At least, I don't think it can be considered an AU. Let me explain. One day, I was thinking about different shows and characters I knew and used to watch. Suddenly, this thought came to mind after thinking about Danny Phantom, "Holy flip... Danny's a wraith..."
For those of you who aren't owners of the Weird and Wild Creatures info cards, or nerds like me who research the heck out of myths and legends, a wraith is a spirit of pure evil. Their main focus is to feed on the souls of the living. Of course, Danny doesn't eat souls, but only because the show is kid friendly. Being demonic, only holy objects can stop wraiths. Even then, wraiths can't be killed. Wraiths can also create more wraiths out of the souls they take.
Okay, so this doesn't seem like Danny. But if we were to add a bit more stable evidence, wraiths can release a powerful shockwave of energy that can destroy a whole village. Sounds like the ghost wail, right?
Ugh, this is hard to explain. Let's just start this thing so I don't explode from trying to find a way to explain the reasoning behind my madness.

That was months ago. Now I am trying to think of how to translate some of the villains of the show and I found that this would indeed be an alternate universe after making these changes. So here we go, my Danny Phantom AU, Daniel Wraith.
I aged everyone by two years to add a few more problems for Danny to face. And it makes things a bit more interesting, in my opinion.

Side note, I also do Gravity Falls, DC Comics, and Pokemon FanFics. Check them out if you want.

Daniel Fenton, age 16, height 5' 4", just your average boy with your average problems. Except one.
A young boy with black hair was fast asleep in his bed as the morning sun began to seep through his windows. Today was a Saturday, so there wasn't an alarm to wake him for something like school. Then the sound of of his phone ringing caused him to jerk his eyes open. In his haste to turn over and grab the device, the boy caused his hand to phase through the night stand the phone was on before his body phased through his bed. With a yelp, he fell through the layers of cloth, foam, and springs before becoming tangible again and smacking his butt on the floor underneath. "Ow." He said before the sound of him knocking his head on some metal was heard. "Ow!"

After rolling out from under his bed, the boy sat up, grabbed his phone, and managed to answer it before the final ring. "Hello?" He asked.

"Hey, have you asked them yet?" A young feminine voice asked.
"Morning to you too, Sam." The boy replied as he stood up.

"Oh, quit your whining, it's only 8:00, Danny." Sam replied as the boy, Danny, rubbed his forehead.

"Whatever. And no, I haven't asked them yet." Danny said.

"What's keeping you? The faster you ask, the easier it will be to cover you for when another freaking demon tries to make an appearance." Sam noted.

Danny Fenton's main problem wasn't the life of a teenager, in fact that made his problem much worse. Just a few weeks prior, Danny's parents had created a machine that opened a portal to a certain plane; a spiritual plane known by many as Heaven. Of course, the machine failed to activate until Danny took a look inside the machine, known by his family as the Gate, and accidently activating it from inside. This caused a tear to open, but Heaven was not on the other side. An unholy entity, a demon, came through the tear and attacked Danny, thinking it could possess the human. Instead, it caused the two to fuse into one being. Danny was still in control of his body, but he was no longer human. He had become what is known as a wraith, a unholy being that had all the powers of a demon and a craving for souls.

"You do know that demons are everywhere right?" Danny asked as a wisp of black came from his mouth.

Danny turned to see an imp sitting on one of his shoes, which were by his door. Imps, or gremlins, were small demons that preferred to play pranks on humans. At the very least, this meant taking objects or people and moving them to another location. If a person was moved, it would take at least ten imps to do so, and their movement to a new location would be blamed on sleepwalking. The worst an imp has done is use a phone of their victim to humiliate said person in one form or another.

As Danny walked over to the imp, Sam gave her reply. "Yeah, I know that. But what about something that can actually be a threat, like a succubus or whatever those hate demons are called."

"An aeshma?" Danny asked before kicking the red plated demon to the side, causing it to screech as it was forced off of its seat.

"Yeah, that." Sam commented.

Danny rolled his eyes. "The only demon that will be showing any form of hate will be me when Dash calls me Fan-turd." He said as the imp used its wings, which were as long as it was tall, to fly up to him and rotate its tiny arm with its little fists balled up as if to say "Put 'em up. Put 'em up."

Danny pointed at the imp like his hand was a gun and fired a thin bolt of green energy at it. Upon contact, the small demon flew backward before hitting the wall above Danny's bed. After sliding down the wall and landing on the bed, the imp wobbled its head as if in a daze.

Sam chuckled, "Yeah, that is true. But like I said, you need to -"

Danny cut her off, "Fine, fine. I'll ask today, but you better know what you're getting yourself into."

"First," Sam replied. "You dragged me into your world. Second, why do you think I even want to learn more about this said world you dragged me into? Girl's gotta be prepared." She finished with a positive tone.

"That's just demons, I'm talking about a long embarrassing talk with my parents. There is nothing that can prepare you for that."

"Your parents are a lot more tame than mine are. By the way you talk about them, all they'll do is try to figure out if I'd make a good wife for you." Sam replied.

"Yeah, but they already know what we'll say to that." Danny stated.

"We're just friends!" Sam and Danny shouted, their faces beat red.

"Yes, but friends that have taken on the same interest." Jack Fenton, Danny's father, replied. "And an interest sparked by Danny none the less."

"Not to mention that you even said you wanted get to know us better." Maddie, Danny's mother, added. "Not many girls will say that to us, let alone about us."

"Well, my parents are way too tight about certain things, I just wanted to see how things went with a less crazy family, a less perfect family. No offense."

"Oh, we know we're not perfect. What family is actually?" Jack replied. "Heck, I even forget our wedding anniversary every so often. But that's why I try to make it up to Maddie once she reminds me."

"Last year, we both forgot and Jack decided to take me to the spa the next day. Though we agreed never to go to one again after that." Maddie added, her face dropping on the second sentence.
"I still have scars on my back from when the misuse used a machete to cut my back hair before waxing it. What was she trying to do, cut my head off?" Jack commented, pointing at his back as he did so.

Sam leaned towards Danny. "What did I tell you? Tame." She whispered.

Set It Off - "Nightmare"

Jack paced in front of Danny and Sam, who were seated in plastic, fold out chairs. Sam was wearing a black plated skirt with black leggings, black knee high boots, a black and purple top with silk sleeves, and a choker with a silver cross dangling from a silver chain. Danny was wearing a normal pair of tattered jeans, red and white sneakers, and a white hooded shirt. "So, you want to know how to ward off demons? Well, first you need the gear to see them. Demons will only allow a human to see them if they have a reason to." Then he muttered, "Like how angels only show themselves to babies and won't stay for a quick chat unless God wants them to." He then cleared his throat. "Anyways," He then brought out a small case, similar to that of contact lens case. "That is what these are for: The Aether lenses! These puppies are worn like regular contacts, but you only need one in order for the lens to safely activate a nerve in your eye that allows you to see the faint aura of those snobbish devils. I even have one in now." He said, closing his eyes and raising his head proudly.

A dark mist tainted Danny's breath as he breathed out. Seeing this, Danny waved the mist away before his dad opened his eyes again. "Wait, there's one! I can see its tiny red, misty aura in the direction of Jazz's room! Get away from my daughter, demon!" Jack shouted before charging up the stairs.

"Imp?" Sam asked Danny.

Danny shrugged. "No idea. At least we know they only let you see lower level demons."

"Actually Danny," Maddie, who was sitting on a nearby desk, in her blue jumpsuit, replied. "If a demon is invisible, the Aether Lenses allow you to see their aura. While the demon is visible, the lenses don't work. At least, not on that particular demon." She explained before standing. "Of course, there are more than imps out there. Jack and I have researched just about every demon in the world. And we took it upon ourselves to catalog the twenty five..." She paused for a moment, making the two teens think that there were not so many demons after all. "hundred demons in this." She added, shocking the two teens, before raising up a small tablet. "The Fenton Codex!"

Sam and Danny blinked before they and Maddie flinched when they heard a crash from upstairs and a young woman scream in horror. "Anyway," Maddie said, "Unlike the device that it looks like, the Codex can be pointed at any demon in the area - given that it is within range of its scanner - and analyze the aura it gives off. After doing so, it goes through the database and matches it with one of the demons cataloged in here. It will then relay every bit of information back to this screen and even read it off to you, given that you set it to." She said before pressing a button while the imp that was being chased by Jack came into the basement and zipped passed Danny.

"Wraith, This demon is considered too dangerous to be close to. Known for devouring the souls of mortals and being able to level buildings with a single blast of energy. There is no known way to destroy this demon. The best thing one can do is banish it. You are lucky this demon has yet drained your soul from your body, turning you moronic husk into another deadly minion of evil. For more information, press the panic button." The Codex said, to everyone's confusion.

"That can't be right. There's no sign of a wraith here. Of course, We'd see a black aura if it were invisible, but all I see is the imp's aura. There must be a bug in the system." Maddie said, much to Danny and Sam's relief. "Oh well, you can still personally look up the demon you wish to know about. You can also look up different pentagrams that allow you to keep a demon right where you want it or even keep it away from where the pentagram is placed. Of course, some demons need a more powerful seal."

Sam and Danny blinked, just as another person stomped down the stairs. This person was a young woman, not too much older than Danny himself, with long red hair and was currently wearing a bright blue robe with white flowers. "Why is it... that when I think I can have a normal shower... Dad thinks it's alright to burst into my room when I'm looking for a cute outfit?"

Maddie, Sam, and Danny looked at this person and blinked in confusion. The girl groaned. "While I'm only in my robe." She said.

"Ohh!" The three replied.

"I said that I was sorry Jazz, why can't you under-" Jack said as he showed himself from the stairway, before getting cut off by the new girl, Jazz.

"Understand? Understand what? That you barged into my room to - to chase out a demon? Tell me how that doesn't make you look insane." Jazz asked after swiftly turning to her father.

Jack raised his right hand and index finger. "An imp actually, a-"

Jazz growled. "It doesn't matter! You're crazy, both you and mom are! And what's worse," Jazz said before pointing to Danny and Sam. "Is that you're dragging these two into it!" She then scanned Sam's attire. "Okay, I know black is suppose to be slimming, but that is way too much. You may need to add another color."

"I'm goth, black and purple are what I wear. The name's Sam by the way." Sam said, introducing herself and defending her attire at the same time.

"I'd comment, but I'm still mad at my dad." Jazz stated before turning to Danny.

"I actually came to them. I just wanted to know how to protect myself, just in case. And Sam was curious as well and asked if she could join."

"It sounded ten times better than avoiding my mom trying to force me into a dress." Sam stated. "Not to mention educational."

"I like this girl!" Jack announced, causing Jazz to groan.

"You're crazy. You're all crazy!" Jazz said before marching upstairs. "I am the only sane one here!" She shouted before the door closed with a resounding thud.

"Atheist?" Sam asked.

"Pretty much." Danny replied.

Jazz, or Jasmine, Fenton was more of a realist, she didn't believe in any higher entity, just science and psychology. She was practically scared out of Christianity by how her parents overreacted about their findings and research. She now saw it, and other religions, as some sort of mental disorder. Which is why she has been studying psychology and therapy. It didn't really help when Jack and Maddie overreacted over other minor details.

"Maddie, didn't we install slam resistance to the lab door?" Jack asked.

"We did install a self closing system to it, yes. It would prevent anyone from slamming the door shut." Maddie replied.

"Then that's not our daughter. That's a demon." Jack stated, narrowing his eyes on the last sentence.

Danny and Sam looked at each other before looking back at the older Fentons. "Um, is there anything else we should know about demons?" Danny asked.

Maddie grabbed a gadget from the desk she was sitting on and passed it to Danny. "Killing a demon is only reserved as a last result. It is better to seal it away and find a way to send it home. This does just that." She stated. "And here's the Fenton Codex." She added before passing the tablet to Sam.
The item Danny caught was what looked like a mechanical thermos. "And turn them into soup?" He asked as Sam caught the codex.

"Trust me Danny, you don't want to eat a demon. An imp crashed into my mouth once, and it tasted like the sewer and my sock draw had a toxic baby." Jack said, eyes still on the door. "That is the Fenton Thermos. It only looks like a thermos so prying eyes don't think your a terrorist loon." He explained.

"Makes sense." Sam and Danny replied.

"Now, you two have fun. Stay safe, and don't make deals with demons." Maddie said before she and Jack made their way upstairs, leaving Danny and Sam in the lab... alone.

There was a few seconds of silence between the two before Sam said, "I heard the mall was experiencing some strange happenings. And not just their prices rising faster than a rocket."
Danny stood. "Let's go!" He said as the two raced out of the lab.

At the mall, Danny and Sam walk around its busy halls. Danny was seeing more demons than he actually expected. From imps causing mischief to more powerful demons whispering in the ears of their human victims. "Okay, this got way more complicated." Danny said to Sam.
"Tell me about it. Thanks to the lens, I can see more aura than people." Sam said, tapping the side of her head close to her eye, indicating that she was wearing the Aether lens. "Mostly red and hot pink, a bit of dark green too."

"Imps, succubi - probably -, and some balaam. Not to mention whatever else is crawling around. And I don't know how many demons the thermos can hold." Danny replied.
Sam looked around, seeing mostly red in the air. "I think it's safe to say that we don't need to worry too much about the imps. What are balaam again?"

"They're demons of greed. Which makes sense, due to us being in a mall."

"Yeah, but what about..." Sam said before the two passed a sign for Victoria's Secret. "Never mind."

Danny chuckled. "So how do we want to do this? Sneak into a stall? Jump behind a clothes rack?"

Before Sam could comment, boxes started to flying out of the nearby Game Stop. This caused the alarm system at the entrance to go off rapidly. With the boxes and alarms, all the shoppers that were inside ran out screaming. "Or just run into the chaos?" Sam suggested.

"Sounds good." Danny said before the two ran inside the chaotic store.

Inside, boxes and display cases swirled in what looked like a mini tornado. The two teens ducked to not get hit by an on coming Nintendo Switch, which was definitely going to be trashed after it landed. "So what are we dealing with?" Sam asked.

"No idea, but I may still need to unleash some Hell on it." Danny replied.

"That better not be your battle cry. Way too long." Sam commented as they dunked behind the counter.

"Battle cry? How old do you think I am, 10?" Danny asked before he ignited his powers.

Danny's eyes warped from light blue to an electric green as green electricity crackled from his body. From his shoulders down, the bolts created a black suit, almost like a jumpsuit, with white gloves, that went half way up his lower arms, and knee high boots. His greasy grease black hair was turned white as two small horns formed out of the front of his head. More of this demonic electricity formed two large black spikes attached to the teen's shoulder blades. His gloved fingers then became more claw-like as his transformation came to completion.

"Can I just say how awesome that is?" Sam asked.

"Maybe later." Danny replied with a smile. "Right now, I got a lost demon to return home." He said before phasing through the desk.

Sam hopped up and peered over the desk to watch Danny walk up to the unknown demon. She then heard a male voice beside her. "Did I just see what I think I saw?"

Sam turned to see a dark-skinned boy around her and Danny's age peering over the desk next to her. "Uh... no?" She replied.

"You can't tell me I didn't just see Danny Fenton polymorph into... to... into a fudging demon!" The boy half shouted.

"Long story. How do you know Danny?" Sam replied.

"I'm Tucker Foley, Danny and I are old friends." The boy stated, introducing himself. "Well, were old friends. We haven't kept in touch for a few years now."

"He did mention you. I'm Sam." Sam said, introducing herself as well.

"The goth girl with nutty parents? Yeah, I know you. Never pictured you as being the one Danny would pick as a girlfriend though."

Sam blushed slightly. "We're just friends."

Tucker raised an eyebrow. "Uh-huh. Anyway, what's the story behind Demon Danny?"

"Not just any normal demon. And let me tell ya, it's a long story." Sam stated.

Danny ignited his right hand with jolting green sparks as he got closer to the demon in the center of the box twister. He soon saw what kind of demon was behind the chaos. "You have got to be kidding me?"

The mastermind behind this insanity was nothing more than an imp. A fat imp, half the size of Danny himself, with long curved horns and wings only half the size of the main body. The demon's legs were bent inward to give it the appearance of having no legs at all. "Hey freak!" Danny called, surprising the imp. "Why don't you pick on something from your own species?"

The imp turned to Danny, confused. "What do you mean? It is our job to torment humons!" The imp asked in a voice not like other imps, pronouncing humans incorrectly.

"Not today! It's my job to send you back to where you came from!" Danny called, stunning the demon further.

"You, you are demon! No..." The imp said giving Danny another once over. "You are humon in devil's form! Impossible!"

"Think again fatso!" Danny said before extending a his right sparking hand to the imp and blasting a ball of demonic green energy at it.

The imp shrieked before dodging the ball of energy, causing it... him... to lose the rest of his concentration and drop the boxes, cases, and loose devices. "I wonder if they'll still sell any of those products?" Danny asked himself before the demon fled by phasing through the ceiling, to get to the next floor. "Oh no you don't!" He shouted before chasing after the imp.

Danny's legs turned into an inky black mist before flying up to and through the ceiling, becoming intangible in order to pass through the different materials that made up each layer. Sam and Tucker got up from behind the desk and saw the mess. "I am so losing my job." Tucker commented.

Back at the Fenton household, Jack and Maddie were setting up a trap for their "demon-possessed" daughter. "Jack, what if Jazz isn't possessed? What if we are just over-reacting?"

"Nonsense honey, our little girl is being controlled by an unholy entity. And this machine will suck it out of her." Jack replied, patting what looked like a hand vacuum. "It worked on the mailman."

Maddie nodded. "True, but let's not use him as a example. I think he's now trying to flirt with me."
Jack narrowed his eyes. "I told him that we were married. It seems that he doesn't listen." He then heard the front door close. "Here she comes. Quiet." He whispered.

Jack and Maddie soon press themselves against the wall that separates them from the foyer. Once Jazz could be seen passing the doorway, Jack jumped out, turned on the vacuum, and shouted, "Release my daughter, minion of Satan!"

Jazz screamed in terror and in pain as the vacuum tugged her hair into it. Once she collected herself, she glared at her parents, who gave apologetic smiles.

Back in the mall, Danny was chasing down the fat imp. "So, what's your name? I know you demons have names!" Danny called.

The demon and Danny stopped as former introduced himself. "I am Leniel! Dark spawn of the Cherub -" He began before Danny blasted him with a bolt of green lightning.

"I just needed a name, Lenny, not your demonic lineage." Danny stated. "I didn't ask to die of boredom."

"That hurt!" The imp said, flapping his wings to keep himself airborne. "You dare betray your brethren for these pathetic mortals?" The imp shouted.

Danny raised an eyebrow. "That is a very stupid question."

The imp blinked, a bit surprised by the response. His eyes then narrowed. "Then heed this warning!" He shouted. "As of this day, you have made an enemy out of the armies of Hell! Do not take us lightly! Not even the Morning Star will spare thy shattered soul!" Leniel then threw his scaly arms into the arm. "Beware!"

Danny brought out the Fenton Thermos and took off the lid. "Yeah, well heed this!" He shot back before aiming the thermos at the demon and pressing the button on the side, causing a white light to shoot out at the imp.

"No! I feel the dark powers behind this cylinder contraption pulling at me! What kind of seal is this?" Lenny shrieked as it was pulled into the depths of the small container.

After the imp was sucked in, Danny shut the lid onto the capsule. "What kind of seals are in here?" Danny asked himself, very confused on how it operated.

Once Danny phased back into the lower floor where the chaos began, the hero shifted back into his human form behind one of the fallen display cases. Danny then walked up to Sam. "Hey, the demon turned out to be an imp." Danny said.

Sam turned, confused. "Seriously? I missed the whole fight and it turned out to be just an ordinary imp?"

"Not a normal imp actually. This one was three times the size of a normal one. And fat."

Sam winced. "I did not need that image in my head. Oh, and we have a witness. You might know him." She said, causing Danny to mutter under his breath, pointing to a dark skinned boy behind the counter.

Danny needed to be more careful when he chose a place to transform. He turned to the boy, who was typing away at a keyboard "So, who are you?" Danny, asked the dark skinned boy behind the computer monitor.

"It's Foley." The beret wearing teen replied, "Tucker Foley." He added before taking a quick peek at Danny from behind the monitor.

The boy, Tucker, returned to his original position. "So. Sam told me you eat souls."

Tucker? It had been way too long sense the last time they had spoken, he looked different. "Tucker? Wow, it's been too long."

"That it has. As for my question. You have a lot of explaining to do." Tucker replied.

Danny smiled at his old friend. "Yeah, we have a lot to catch up on."

"Okay, so when you got your first... hunger attack, you devoured the soul of a guy that tried to rape Sam" Tucker asked.

Danny nodded. "Yeah, not the best human in the world. But he still didn't deserve his fate. Since I took his soul, he will not be sent to either Heavan or Hell."

"True, but at least you saved me." Sam said as the three came to Danny's door. "Alright. Ready to send that demon back home?"

"You know it." Danny said.

"Wait, are you able to actually go to Hell?" Tucker asked.

Danny and Sam turned to Tucker. "Not on my own, no. I have to basically ship the demon to Hell through the Gate."

"The Gate?" Tucker asked, utterly confused.

"That's the Gate?" Tucker asked as he looked at monstrosity before him.

The Gate was a large construct, with a diameter of 15 ft, made mostly of industrial grade steel with copper strips holding it to the wall. Various strips were equipped with pieces of metal shaped like a "V" that pointed to the center of the Gate's door. Each of these V's had a rare gemstone on the inner groove of it. "It's huge!" Tucker stated.

Danny walked up to the right side ot the Gate, where what looked like a large computer tower stood. "This was what your parents had been working on all these years? They're crazier than my parents thought." Tucker stated.

"Yeah, you'd have to be crazy to punch a hole in a weak point in the boundary between Earth and Hell. Though my parents were actually hoping for Heaven. Though the land of eternal damnation works just as well. Now they have a better reason to fight demons." Danny replied, tapping some keys on top of the tower. "I saw mom and dad enter the code to access the Gate. They decided to use a code that they would have to remember."

"Really? And what would that be?" Tucker asked.

"Their anniversary." Danny and Sam replied as Danny finished punching in the code , which opened a hole for the thermos to be placed in.

After sliding the Fenton Thermos into the slot, Danny pressed the button labeled "Return". This caused a recorded voice to say, "Gate unlocked! Stand clear as demon is being returned!" before each of the gems began to glow.

Sam and Tucker heeded the Gate's warning and ran to the other side of the lab. After turning back to the Gate, the portal's doors split open, revealing a bubbling crimson red membrane-like substance. The sight only made things worse for the teens' stomach when groans and screams came from the other side as what looked like a large skeletal hand tried reaching through the membrane. "Danny!" Tucker and Sam shouted in fear.

The V-shaped parts of the Gate then shot strings of red light that bounced off the sides of the machine until a large pentagram was formed. When the hand touched this pentagram, it reeled back in pain before retreating back from the membrane. "The most powerful seal in the Fenton arsenal." Danny stated as Sam and Tucker sighed in releaf. "I don't remember what they called it, but I think they got it from a voodoo priest in Africa."

Suddenly, Leniel was shot out behind the seal and into the membrane. "I will be back humons! I shall return to wreck havoc on your pathetic kind! Beware!" He shouted as the membrane sucked the demon back into Hell.

"I guess he likes saying beware." Danny stated before a black mist trailed from the boy's mouth. "Dang it."

"What was that?" Tucker asked as he and Sam walked up to Danny.

"Call it my 6th sense. It notifies me when a demon is close by." Danny explained before igniting his powers, turning into his wraith form.

Danny then shot up and out of the lab as he shouted, "Don't touch anything!"

Sam and Tucker looked at each other as the Gate closed beside them. Danny them came back and grabbed the thermos. "Forgot this." He said before going back upstairs with a black mist replacing his legs and trailing behind him.

Jack and Maddie were seated at the kitchen table like two children being scolded by their parents. They were being scolded, but by their own daughter. "Sucking my hair into a vacuum, ruining my clothes with water, nearling giving me a heart attack via electric net after drenching me with water. And all in one day! Are you trying to run me out of the house? Or kill me?" Jazz asked after listing the thing her parents have done to her that day. "This demon thing has gotten to your heads!"

Jack turned his gaze to his wife. "Should we tie her up infront of the Gate while its open?" He asked.

"Last resort dear, last resort." Maddie replied before the horned head of an unknown figure popped its head from out of the center of the table, surprising the three.

"Oops, guess I forgot to make myself invisible. While I have your attention. Have you seen another demon around here? Oh, wait, I found it." The thing, a white-haired demon said before his hand came out from the table and pointed to the empty spot next to Jazz before firing a bolt of green energy, like lightning.

The bolt hit something before a dent was made in the wall behind Jazz. Then, a black mass made itself visible before unflurling its torn wings and opening a circular jaw filled with jagged fangs. "You are one ugly dude. Let's take this outside." The first demon said before rushing at the second and causing both of them to phase through the wall.

Several seconds passed, almost a minute, before Jack jumped up from his seat and shouted, "Yes! A demon! Right in front of us! In this very room! Fighting an aeshma!" He then pointed at his daughter. "In your face!"

Jazz was still stunned, not sure what to think of the things she just witnessed. She then walked off, holding her head with one hand. "I need to go lie down." She said.

Later that night, after Sam and Tucker had gone home, Danny was lying in bed with something on his mind. The imp gave the name of "Morning Star". That particular demon was the most powerful in Hell, and one that Danny would rather avoid. But at the same time, he knew that he would be speaking with him at some point in the future.

Danny soon fell asleep. As he slept, his breath became tainted with black mist. In the upper corner of Danny's room, close to the boy's bed, a figure warped into the view of visiblity. This figure was dressed in a white cloak with golden trimming, with the hood of the cloak pulled over their head. The figure had its arms crossed as it floated in the dark corner. Upon a closer look, the figure's face was that of a male. This male figure had golden eyes and a stone-cold glare on his face. The being then snarled before vanishing with the passing headlights of a car from outside.

Set It Off - "Duality"

Fenton Codex- Entry #1: Imp
Also known as grimlens, these pesky demons act as pranksters. Favoring messing with electronics, imps will find a way to mess up a human's day, going so far as to ruining their entire day. A group of these demons can even carry an average sized human. There are reports of these demons helping higher ranking demons, such as succubi and aeshma, get their targets, but this is rare.
Due to these pests only wanting to play pranks, they are relitivally harmless.
SideNote: Imps taste like an old sock dipped in the sewers of NewYork. Don't even think about trying eating one. You'll end up regreting it for the next three days. Not even bleach can get rid of the foul taste they leave in your mouth.

Ranter's Note: And there you have it viewers, Danial Wraith. Just note that I may be moving this story over to the DC Super Heroes section in the future. Or I may just leave it here and have Vol 2 and Vol 3 (and possibly even a Vol 4) over there. Why DC? Because, why not? Also, I wanted to partner up with one of my favorite authers over there and I haven't made a character for that yet.
