The Trio Reborn (DP Fanfic)

The Trio Reborn (DP) Part 9 The Reveal

    I'm back in the basement again watching my parents tinker with ghost stuff. Mom was working on some claw-looking device, It scared me more than usual for some reason. I'll have to destroy it when they leave it alone. Why does it seem so familiar? Because that is what Vlad used to create me. I jerk back in surprise hearing him talk again. I did ask a question to myself, I didn't expect Him to answer me though. So that is the clawed device that separated Phantom from Fenton and Plasmas from Masters causing Dan to exist huh? I must destroy it no matter what, I don't need my parents to use that thing and cause the unspeakable. I'm sure Dan would love to have that happen, but I don't. Hey Dan, What do you think about pulling a prank of sorts on Mom and Dad? It'll be fun. Why are you even asking me, you are the one in control, do what you like. You are right though, It will be fun for me to see. What do you plan on doing? I chuckle quietly, making sure they couldn't hear me. You'll see. I then swoop down to Dad and whisper in his ear "Ghost in the room." 

   Dad freaks out pulling a huge ecto-gun from one of his infinite-storage pockets yelling "Ghost! Where are you ecto-scum!" I back away quickly laughing, Mom looks so surprised and quickly pulled out her own ecto-gun, aiming it at random points in the room like Dad was doing.

    "Come out you ectoplasmic-scum! Where are you!" This is fun to see, haha. Once Mom was a ways away from the cursed device I fly to it, blasting an ecto-blast and destroying it as much as I could. While dodging the blasts coming at me from my parents, I am still invisible so it isn't to hard, I make sure that thing is truly decimated. It is, good, perhaps I should do something else now. I fly upstairs  to my room and land on the floor. I grab some eye contacts I have from when I couldn't control my eyes and put them on. Now I looked my truly Human self, ha, I was only thinking that way a day ago. I go downstairs and yell "I'm Home! Mom, Dad?" I go down to the basement where you could hear the chaos and knock on the lab door. "What's going on, is something wrong! Mom, Dad, are you alright!?" I hear someone stumble to the door, from the lighter footsteps it must be Mom, and she opens the door after confirming with dad that the ghost was gone. 

    "It's ok sweetie, a ghost just got in, that's all. We took care of it, but Are you alright? We heard you freaked out at school, is there anything you need to talk about?" She was looking really concerned but I could feel the anger, she was mad at me for being home late, worried too? Hmm, if they heard of my 'freak out' then they must have heard of my transformation. She must be acting to 'get the ghost out of me'. Well then, I'll play that game too. I don't know what the being sorrowful and worried type feeling are doing in her, but I can wonder about that later.

(Start Music!

    I look down at the floor, getting an uncertain look in my eyes, and mumble "Ya. Ya, I think I need to talk to you guys. Could we please go upstairs? I-I don't want to talk about it when you guys are distracted by your ghost stuff. Please?" I give her a begging look, it is a good thing I've gotten so good at acting over the time I've been Phantom. Mom gives in, looking over to Dad who nods. She heads upstairs as I follow her, Dad following behind me, and we sit on the couches.

    "Ok Danny-boy, what has gotten into you?" He didn't mask what he meant by that question very well. I continue looking uncertain, nervous, and overall like I could cry at any second. 

    Mom decides to speak up, probably thinking of how good my acting is or that the ghost may be gone. "It's ok Sweetie, whatever it is we care for you. If you have done something we forgive you, you just need to tell us so we can help you. Alright?" I nod my head and take a deep breath, rubbing my eyes, taking the contacts out, and closed them hanging my head again.

    "I-I'm dead." I start crying, seeing their (fake) shock, and continue. This is going to make them feel bad, and me feel good, isn't it? "I'm sor-sorry, It-it was the portal! When I went into it a-and it shock-ked me, radiated me-e-e! I died turning it on! I'm sorry!" I was sobbing at this point, pretend of course, but they didn't know that, They didn't expect that at all. They were now conflicted between wether I was telling the truth, or if I was being controlled. 

"Sweetie, what do you mean you're dead since you turned on the portal? That's impossible. You have shown the signs of being alive, and you aren't a ghost." She was speaking slowly, trying to figure out what my aim was, what the ghost's aim was.

    I continued sniffling "Y-ya, but that is Bec-cause of circumstances." I sniff, opening my eyes, head still down. "I'm a halfa, the portal radiated me into becoming an, alive, ghost. Here, I'll show you." I say sounding defeated, yet inside I'm laughing gleefully. I transform, the white rings washing over my body from my middle, and I look up. "I've changed too, I'm sorry." I think they have reached the non-reactive stage of shock overload, no wonder too. I smile sadly saying "Hey Mom, Dad, I'm Phantom. you know, the ghost boy you've hunted since The Accident? Before you ask, I've been hiding this since I don't want to be dissected and torn apart molecule by molecule because of my own parents. So, now this can go two ways. One: You accept me and I don't have to keep running while I correct all your beliefs about Ghosts and the Ghost Zone, or 2: You decided you still hate me and I have to run the rest of my life from you, and have a possibility of my core being corrupted even more. I'll explain what I mean if you want to accept me..." I trail off the sentence quietly. It would seem they have to much shock-overload to respond. I wave my had in front of them. "Hello, Mom, Dad? You ok?" Now I am a bit worried. I do want them to feel bad and stuff, but I don't want them to become completely unresponsive or die. "Too much info at once? Who am I kidding, of course this is too much!" I throw my hands up in the air as I exclaim this point, I can't help but sigh. I do that a lot I've noticed. I still don't really notice when I rub my neck though, and I'm doing it. I put my hand down sighing again and say "I guess you won't want me around anymore, while I'm not sorry about not telling you, I am sorry for causing you so much damage. Heh, I didn't expect my big review would cause so much shock you completely froze up for minutes. I hope you can hear me."I frown at the thought that they might not be hearing me, I need to finish before they move again in case they decide to shoot at me. Yet again, I sigh rubbing my neck. "Don't worry about me, I'll be fine but you won't be seeing me around. My core kinda corrupted so I am slowly losing it, I mean, I don't think I'll become evil but I definitely don't want to save other anymore. haha, I guess you guys were right in a way. Even if a ghost isn't originally evil, their obsession can cause them to see right and wrong in different terms from others, especially when their Core is corrupted." Now I really am feeling sad, whispering my words. I'm just now realizing that perhaps Sam and Tucker were right, oh well. I don't really see many problems with what I've done, perhaps past me would, but not the me now. I look back up to my unresponsive, yet attentive, parents. "I'm sorry." I turn back into my human form, putting my contacts back on. "I'll be leaving now." I tell them as I get up and turn to leave, still on guard against an ecto-gun. I toss a few last words over my shoulder, "Please don't tell others yet. I'm sure my class is gossiping about it, but I want to revel this myself. That is why I can back, to talk to you and leave with supplies. Good Bye, Mom, Dad." I turn invisible and fly up to my room, then suddenly two wails could be heard from crying adults who was just told by their son he was dead and corrupting, the information just sinking in. I grab the supplies I prepared earlier and head back to the warehouse, ready to sleep.

    I get in the warehouse and see everyone asleep. I check the bindings on Vlad and create a wall around him that only I can manipulate and, that taking a decent amount of energy, head to a corner to set up a make-shift bed to sleep in. Tucker had fallen asleep next to Sam's Garden and she fell asleep inside the Garden itself. I decided to pick the corner opposite them, nearer to the entrance and Vlad being in the corner between all of us. I drift off to sleep thinking about how today changed my life, the other's lives, and possibly how the world will be affected. This will be a fun afterlife for sure.
