The Bats Ghost

-two months later-

"Get up you freak" agent O says.

Danny looks at him with his neon green eyes but they lost their glow long ago. Now, they are dull and lifeless. Danny sits there. This event is one of the few things he can do to rebel. He punches him in the face and then kicks him.

"Get up you abomination" agent K growls. Danny slowly stands up.

Danny POV

He gets up and tries to ignore the pain in his stomach. 'Whelp that is going to bruise' he thought but at this point he does not care. 'This is one of the nicer things that they have done.' He has been here for 2 months and does not look the best. He is always in his ghost form because he can take more without dying, not that they would care. His once snow white hair is now mainly a dirty green with small bits of a dark rusty red. His eyes that were once full of wonder and curiosity are now dull and lifeless. He wears a muzzle because they got tired of hearing his voice. Now whenever he screams the thing cuts into his jaw. And the collar on him that cancels out his powers. And if he does not behave or they are just bored they will shock him with it. He has nearly given up but he knows that that is what they want. For him to break but he won't he has not given up yet just to spite them.

"Let's go," K said. They have an ecto gun pointed at his back as they push him down the halls. White that is all he ever sees. That horrible bright white. So clean and crisp. It is sickening. They lead him down the hall and the white becomes less clean. There are small red and green spots on them. And those spots turn to blobs until the blobs of blood are so big that it is all you can focus on. It looks like Christmas threw up.

As they head down the hall, Danny already knows where they are going. Agent O unlocks the steel door and pushes me in. It is the training room. They want me to become their super soldier and to create more of me. Here I learn to fight and kill. They have me go through obstacle courses with and without my powers and if I don't finish fast enough they will shock me.

"Today you are going to fight," someone said on the intercom.

'Ugh I hate the robots' Danny thought. A hatch in the floor opened and a dog shaped robot came out. It was a slick silver with sharp teeth that could easily but your arm off and with blood red eyes. "And no powers". The bell sounded to begin. It charged at me with incredible speed. It tried to bite me but I jumped out of the way. A hatch on its back opened and a blade came out of it. It tried to saw me in half but I did not want to fight it. I jumped over it as it came at me and the saw nicked my arm. There was a small cut that was bleeding. I ran to the other side of the room. "Fight it or get punished." I just rolled my eyes 'you are going to shock me anyway'. Danny ran at it and slid under its legs as the saw came down at him and got stuck. This gives Danny a moment to think of a plan. It gets the saw loose and turns around to face Danny. He turns and runs to the opposite wall with the thing on his heels. It stabs at him with the saw as Danny jumps off the wall and onto the part that connects the saw to the machine, pushing the saw into its head. He jumps off of it and lands in a crouch barely breathing had. After fighting ghosts for so long and doing this you start to build up a pretty good stamina. The thing falls to the floor with oil coming out of its head and pooling on the floor like blood. "Again" the intercom said. He does this a couple more times, sometimes with some powers and sometimes without but all with a different way. Danny found out the hard way that just because it worked the first time does not mean that it will work a second. After the fifth one, Danny was panting and is bleeding from several places. "That is all for today," the intercom said. Then the collar zapped him and he fell to the floor. Danny is barely conscious when some of the agents come and drag him back to his cell.
