Book7 PDS: The Miraculous Ghost Story

...30...Pieces of the Wrong Puzzle...30...

Assassin and Dan laid on beds as Alfred and Dick treated their wounds. Danny took a deep breath and let it out as he sat on the hood of the Bat Mobile, silently getting lost in his thoughts.

How many more universes is going to get involved? What would their world be like? One thing is for sure...they need to be stopped. Who knows if there are universes where Vlad actually successfully ruled over earth, the Ghost Zone or even both at the same time...we'll be screwed then.

From what I could tell, Clockwork is the one choosing the universes. He is gathering a team of us. With that said, is he going to get the god version of me involved? That would up our chances with his level of power...then there's the villains in his world. Tartarus and Vlad was a bitch to handle.

Shit...

Danny groaned out loudly. "The longer we sit on our arses, the more they scheme! Does anyone have an idea of their fucking plan!" Danny snapped.

Ninja wanted to say something but, Danny shushed him. "Not from you! I'm still mad at you!" Danny said. Ninja glared at Danny when Reaper spoke up.

"Vlad's first goal is to make their force more powerful than ours. With that said, they are gathering as many versions of Vlad's as possible...you delayed it a bit since you killed...yeah..." Reaper finished.

"Okay, thank you for stating the obvious. Let me rephrase this real quick. WHY is Vlad going THIS far?"

Danny heard the familiar sound of the elevator coming down the shaft. Danny braced himself for more questions. Jason and Tim stepped out, but stopped when they took in the scene.

"Uhm...what happened?" Tim asked. "Doppelgangers." Dick said as he bandaged up Dan's arm. "Of Danny?" Jason said. "Yep." Danny said, popping the p.

"Why are they here?" Tim asked. "Vlad..." Danny sighed, making the two boys tense up a bit. "I killed the one we know...but, two of them that I banged up went to use the Lazarus Pit to heal themselves and we are without a plan." Danny said.

Tim looked at Damian for a second. He seemed calm on the outside, but who knows what's going on in the boy's head now.

"Okay...so we know Clockwork is in control, kinda." Reaper started. "Yeah, but he it's like he's jumping at random times. Vlad said that he needed two days to regain energy and then barely ten minutes later, we woken up here." Ninja said.

"And we were outside Vlad's cottage. Clockwork is probably aware, but not entirely. That portal must be draining him completely." Reaper said.

"Wait, before he jumped...Ninja's Vlad practically warned the other two Vlad's about you." Reaper said, turning to Danny. "Me? Makes sense."

"Then we ended up here..." Ninja finished. "We could try to manipulate the jump then?" Assassin said. "Good, you're awake." Danny said.

"I hope Sam and Tucker are doing okay..." Reaper mumbled to himself. Whatever they're doing...they'll pull through. They always do." Danny said with a sad smile on his face. He looked at his hands that rested on his lap.

The rose tattoo and pacman tattoo practically stared back at Danny. He missed them so much more as the days turned into weeks. Weeks into months and months into a year.

Maybe he can make Clockwork bring them to the Ghost Zone for bit...just to see them at least. "You're the one that traveled to other worlds before...which ones would you suggest."

"There's two others with powerful versions of us...one I wouldn't recommend because we will get captured...the other..."

"Oh, come on! This God version of us? He's half ghost like us! How can he suddenly be a god...or be that powerful, for that matter!" Ninja practically snapped.
