Two monstrous looking ghosts came at them first. Their red crimson eyes glared at the two ghost boys glowing slightly while gritting its razor sharp jaws. The horns that were attached to their heads blended with the various colors of green ectoplasm of which most of these ghosts were made from.
The first one swung its arm at Jack and instinctively he ducked and spun kicked the specter far form reach. The ghost got angry at that and shot back at him hitting him in the jaw. Jack yelled and felt his under his chin to check if he had broken anything. Then he got back on his feet, but as soon as he did the ghost he was facing pounced on top of him toppling him on the ground. Jack pushed with all his strength trying to get him off and budged the specter to the side a little bit but no luck.
This thing, what ever it was, it was strong! The ghost chuckled watching the young boy struggling to get free then a blue ectoplasm blast later and he disintegrated. The boy sat up and saw his father smirk as the blue ball of light disappeared in his hands. Danny knelt down and stretched out a hand to help his son up.
"Heh, heh, thanks…" Jack said nervously as he took it and stood up. Another ghost from the distance saw them, but then noticed the older halfa who killed his brother, again, and shot forward.
"Well, next time be more careful, you almost began ghost-" An exact replica of the ghost from hell that had just been defeated jumped on top of his father and began to repeatedly punch him.
Some oftheother ghosts that had went back to terrorizing the citizens joined in and began to gather around Danny. He pushed the ghost from hell off of him and got back on his feet. The Lunch Lady ghost shot a beam of beef jerky sending him inside of a ghost. The ghost was a big blob of ecto goo, Danny had a hard time getting out of it.
"Dad?" Jack whispered.
His father's eyes widened, "Jack, watch out!" He tried calling out to him, but the ectoplasm blocked out the sound.
"What-?" Somebody grabbed the back of his neck making him cringe. The ghost pulled him back and threw him back to the ground.
"What makes you think that you're so special?" The younger halfa attempted to get back up, but the much elder halfa beamed a pink ghost ray at his knees sending him back face first into the ground.
"That you-could beat me?" Vlad asked in disbelief. He flew down to the ground and kicked Jack over on his back. The boy looked up at him weakly. "Now, I'm going to finish you once and for all!" His left palm glowed brightly over Jack's head.
"Time Out."
A blue swirling vortex appeared out of no where and a ghost of an old man flew out holding a time staff. He changed into a child form of himself and starred at Vlad frozen in his pose and Jack.
"Hmm..." He looked over his surroundings. He laughed when he saw Danny trapped in an ecto-bubble ghost. "You, my old friend." He changed into a young adult version of himself and placeda time amulet around Danny's neck. The now older halfa gasped for air and looked through the transparent ectoplasm.
"Clockwork?" Danny broke through the ghost and look around. "What happened?" The ghost didn't answer, but kneeled down by Jack.
"He won't remember a thing, unless," He turned back to the halfa, "youwant him to."
"With everything that's happened, I don't know." Danny said, "I trust him. I just wish he would've felt the same way."
Clockwork smiled changing back to his older self again. He waved his staff around and there was a big flash of light.
"I can't believe it, he's just like me..." Jack sighed, " and all this time, they didn't tell me or Lily? So much for telling the truth." He sat against the wall gloomly.
"Jack?" His dad called from down the stairs. The cellphone in his pocket was brought to life and vibrated in his pocket. He knew it was T.J. or Christy, on cue. He ignored the first ring and went down.
"Yes, Dad?" The phone kept on ringing. Danny starred at it and sighed.
"I'll tell you later, seems like your friends are trying to get hold of you."
"Oh, okay..." his son went back up the stairs dragging his feet. The older halfa picked up an album resting on a table in the lab and flipped to a picture from the day of the accident.
"Maybe later..."
Eh, this story was never one of my favorites...Also, I'm about half way through with editing 'My Guy', so one I post those chapters this one is definetly next on my list for editing. It's over, yay, but if I think of something to go after this I'll post it, but this was the easiest way to end it without having many problems.
