  Enforcers SS: Wraith Rises  



 Introduction



The Enforcers, five of the most powerful beings of Astral, mixed into a group to become something nigh-unbeatable. However, what would happen if the danger came, not from outside, but from within...?



 Story



 ( This is the first time that the Enforcers deal with Wraith, but Phantom and Katana had known about him for much longer. The Enforcers have been a team for one year. )



Yell. Its all Phantom could think to do. He banged his fists against the ground, shouting unspeakable things that Katana would probably tell him off for.



He had come to Psion to simply speak to Spirit about something, but things had...not gone as planned. Apparently, Wraith had escaped from Phantom's mental prison, and now he was in control. Phantom could not do anything, the evil within was now outside...



Hyper struggled to get up, everything was hurting. He was still reeling from what had happened. It was midnight and Phantom had said he was tired, then he had went to bed. An hour later, in the early hours of the morning now, he came back down, but somehow it was not him. Hyper had never seen Phantom do more then a smirk, but this, this.... monster that had attacked him and the others wore a full sized grin, straining the corners of his lips. He had no idea where the others were, but all Hyper could think of was the scream Katana had let out when it had stabbed her in the stomach, twisting the silver knife in the process. Her stomach was literally in a knot. Then he remembered the laugh, crackling and dark, that emitted from its mouth... No, don't think about it. He managed to tear himself from his thoughts, and surveyed his surroundings. He was lying with his back against a wall, just outside Enforce HQ. It was also night-time, but Enforce HQ gave no comforting light, only a unsettling darkness and silence. With one last push, he managed to get up and turned around three-sixty degrees, checking for the monster. Fortunately, apart from the dark and dead Enforce HQ and his own white-blood staining the wall where he had being lying, there was nothing horrific in sight. He wondered if Inferno had defeated the not-Phantom, but why would Hyper still be lying outside, unconscious, if he had? He decided against it. But that meant that it was still out there, whatever it was. It also was not at HQ, so where could it go?



<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">Katana was running out of breath. Mainly because she was running. From what, she did not know much about, but she knew it was dangerous. Too dangerous...She had no idea where the others were, Hyper, Tornado or Inferno. But Phantom was behind her, but then again, he wasn't. She had to remember, it was Wraith.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">Tornado stood outside the entrance to the P.O.P House, guarding it from the evil that now lurked in the night. He wished it would be day already, but unfortunately he could only control the weather, not the sun. He heard a snap behind him, and spun around, clouds already swirling above him. It turned out to just be Inferno however, and he let the sky become clear. “Any news of where Hyper or Katana are?” He asked, but Inferno shook his head. Tornado groaned, looking up to the sky, the bright Earth moon shining white beams onto his face. Where are they?

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">Phantom walked through the forest of Psion, feeling distressed. He stopped when he heard a crackly voice singing an eerie tune.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">Darkness lurks in the woods,

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">Blood runs through its streams,

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">Wraith awaits in the forest,

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">To make nightmares of your dreams.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">The first thing that came to his head was Ghost, the most despairing person he knew. The only thing he seemed to like was singing eerie melodies and humming creepy tunes. But even then, he seemed not to like it that much. He pushed through the branches with his Psion-empowered telekinesis, rushing to the sound. He reached a small river in a small clearing. It was there he saw Ghost, holding his knees close to his chest, now silent. He walked up to him and put a hand on his shoulder, making Ghost shout in fear and jump away into a nearby bush. “Its me, Phantom. Where is Spirit?” Phantom said gently, but still with a demanding tone. “I don't know. I don't know anything, except that Wraith escaped and its probably my fault somehow.” Ghost replied, the blue moon of Psion lighting up his face in the bush. “Fine. I'll find him myself...”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">When Katana was caught, the only things that came to her was pain, fear, more pain, then nothing. She woke, lying in a small room with a flashing light above her. She looked around, and noticed a star chart on the far left wall. She immediately realized that she was in Phantom's room, but something was different. She surveyed the room more, and gagged at what she saw. There was a dead man, presumably a P.O.P, hanging by the neck from the ceiling, slowly swinging. He had abnormal silver hair, and only looked only around sixteen or eighteen, and there was still a faint glow of fear in his blue, dead eyes. The thing that scared her the most however, was the big, white W on the silver wall behind him, just in sight, with scorch marks dotted around the room. He also had a smile of white-blood, running over his mouth and dead lips, and up each sides of his cheeks. Katana stood up, and ran past the hanging body, towards the elevator door. Locked...she should of known. Suddenly, there was a big THUMP behind her, and she spun around, heart beating dangerously fast. Thankfully, it was only the body falling to the floor, swayed by her running past him. She had to get out of here. She imagined a giant blue creature, willing herself to shift into it. After a few seconds, she was a fully grown female Grun, and with a gruff rumble, she smashed through the wall, straight into the air, sixty feet above the ground.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">Hyper looked up as soon as he heard the distressed roar of a Grun, feeling confused that a Grun was on Earth. He regretted he had though, as the Grun landed stomach-to-face on top of him. He felt his bones snap, regenerate, then snap again, then regenerate again. He was in constant agony. So when the Grun seemed to lose three tons in a second, he gasped with relief, then laughed in happiness when the pain stopped. He felt a weight on his stomach, and looked down to see Katana unconscious, lying over it. “Oh, crud...” Hyper grumbled, quickly pushing her off, get up, and catch her before she could smash into the ground. “Wake up, ninja girl. Come on...wakey wakey.” Hyper ordered, shaking her gently. “For Uni's sake...WAKE UP!” He shouted, and Katana stirred in his arms. She then proceeded to grab his head, flip around him, push him down,grabbed his hands and tied them behind his back.” Ow! Hey! Owow!That hurts! Owowowowow!” He complained, and Katana seemed to recognise him “Hyper! Oh, Uni, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?” Katana gasped, letting go of him and lending him a hand to get up.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Yeah, I'll live. You?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“I just finished regenerating my wrist. So yeah, I'm good.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“What about any wounds you...cant heal?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“You mean, am I emotionally scarred from the sudden manic attack from Wraith? You should know I'm stronger then that.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Wraith?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Its his name...”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">Hyper looked angry, which was quite rare.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Name? You mean, you've known about him all along?!”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“No! No, Phantom only told me last month, and he swore me to secrecy. You know Phan, what do you think he'd do if I broke my promise, which I wouldn't do anyway?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Probably....break you.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Yep. I may be his sister, but he's very sensitive about...betrayal...since Agony.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Okay...Anything else?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Not much...oh, wait, there was something-”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“What? What is it?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Dead man. Silver hair, blue eyes, young.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">Hyper suddenly deflated, colour draining from his face.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Oh Uni, not Therm.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Therm? Who's Therm?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Therm is a pyrokinetic that showed up when I was four, he and I are...were close friends...”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“I'm so sorry...What was his classification?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Level Six.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Powers?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Pyrokinesis, enhanced strength and endurance.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“He had no chance then...he must have been so scared...”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Improbable, he was brave and kind. Helped me a lot with discovering my powers...”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“We have to stop Wraith before others suffer Therm's fate.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Agreed. I know it Phantom's body, but its not Phantom's mind. So when I get my hands on him, Therm's fate will seem insignificant to his...”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm"> Inferno stumbled back when a green streak stopped in front of him, a young woman riding on his back. Inferno struck out, but the streak simply dodged. “WHOA! We have SERIOUSLY got to stop striking out at whatever we don't know!” A identifiable voice sounded, and Inferno realized it was Hyper in front of him. “Hyper! What happened?” Inferno asked, allowing his fists to go back to normal hands. Katana jumped of Hyper's back, looking slightly embarrassed and disorientated. “I think...I think I'm gonna be sick...” She slurred, then ran to the nearest bush and regurgitated the snacks they had eaten earlier on in the night. Inferno cringed, pushing his own back down his throat. “Ugh...I think I'll run with my own legs next time...” Katana grumbled, wiping her mouth. “Okay...forgetting that... TORNADO! GET OUT HERE!” Inferno grumbled, then shouted. Tornado ran out the doors of the P.O.P House, A couple of Level Eight P.O.Ps behind him. “What? Oh, hi Hyper, Katana. You two okay?” Tornado asked, noticing Katana's pale face and Hyper's lips trying their best not to let out a laugh. But with Tornado's confused expression, he finally broke, laughing his head off. “Its not funny! I was sick!” Katana complained. “I'm...sorry...but I....cant help...it...Tornado's face overdid...it!” Hyper struggled out between giggles. Katana growled a feral tone, then leaped towards Hyper. Inferno grabbed her mid air, and held her in his arms while she hissed and clawed the air towards Hyper like an indignant cat. However, this made things worse, as Hyper simply laughed harder, his entire face cringed with muscle spasms, and started rolling on the floor. Eventually, the two P.O.Ps Tornado had brought with him started to laugh to, and Tornado realized how without Phantom, there may be a bit too much joy in the group. Inferno carried Katana over to the lake outside the P.O.P House, and threw her in. She thrashed around, hissing. “Katana! Enough, put down the dog! Repeat, Put...down...THE DOG!” Inferno ordered, and Katana calmed down, breathing heavily. She was usually calm, but could not handle being laughed at. Damn, that girl can get wild...  Inferno thought, shaking his head. Hyper was still laughing in the background, and there was a giant VR—BOOM as lighting struck him. He regenerated the flesh that had burnt, and he stopped laughing. “Hey! That freaking hurt!” Hyper complained, staring at Tornado. “Enough laughing, or do you not want to find Therm's killer?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“I didn't tell you that...”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Didn't need to, Therm was missing when we came, and the rest reported Phantom taking him.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Oh...”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">Hyper got up, and brushed himself off. Katana walked up to him, dripping from the lake. She punched him on the arm, a annoyed expression on her face. “OW! Why the Blaze does everyone feel the need to hit me?!”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Because your annoying as Nyan Cat”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Nyan Cat? He's awesome!”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Your wrong in the head, Speedo...”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Hey! Phantom calls me that, not you!”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Phantoms not here, so I decided to fill in for him.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Well, you don't need-”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm">“ SHUT UP!!! ” Inferno shouted, and Hyper and Katana straightened, lips sealed. “Good, now stop arguing, and lets take this seriously...”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">Phantom walked through the fields of Psion, watching the small glowing mind-monsters dance around the plain. Some were not so monstrous. He heard a roar, and a giant, black, iguana like creature lurked out of the shadows, the small glowing mind-monsters fleeing from its location. It had ten, tendril-like tails ejecting from where a normal iguana would have one, thick tail. Its mouth was circler, with teeth sticking out from its mouth-sides in a three-sixty degree angle. The monster growled, drool dripping from its lips. With all the creatures and monsters Phantom had fought over time, he was now basically an expert on killing monsters. And so, creating a silver psionic sword, the mind-monster and Phantom clashed in a bloody battle.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">The rule with mind-monsters was that the only way to kill them is to face the phobia they represent. For this one, it seemed to be a fear of lizards, which Phantom, luckily, had no problems with. The monster reared up, and tried to shove Phantom down its mouth head first. But Phantom had interoperated the move, and simply held the sword above his head. The monster fell onto the sword tip, the sword driving halfway up its throat. The monster bellowed in agony, and immediately tried to rear back up. But Phantom was not letting it go that easy. Driving the sword further into the mind-monster's throat, he used his telekinesis to strengthen himself, throwing the monster over his shoulder. He flew over with it, as planned, and landed on the monsters stomach. He pulled his sword out of the monsters mouth, and it instantly started to snap at him. Tendrils came from behind Phantom, but he sensed them just in time. He spun around, kicking the monster's face in the process, and cut the first three tendrils in a single arc, and copied the move for the next set. The remaining four tendrils hovering in front of him, and Phantom threw the sword. It acted like a boomerang, and cut through the remaining tendrils. The monster groaned in despair and pain, all its tails gone or incredibly shortened. Phantom slowly turned, breathing heavily. He raised the sword above his head, ready to drive it into the monsters heart. But then he saw the pleading look in its eyes, familiar to the looks his targets from his days as an assassin had given him. In a film or movie, this would be the part where Phantom let the monster live. But it wasn't, this was reality. The monster gurgled its death rattle as he drove the sword deep into its heart.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“We need to find this Wraith person before he can cause more death.” Inferno spoke.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“But how? Without Phantom, we have no dowsers.” Hyper responded, still rubbing his arm from Katana's punch.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“We don't need Phantom for dowsing, Hyper. We have some P.O.Ps who can dowse, like Kinesis.” Tornado stated.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“But, will he be powerful enough?” Katana questioned before Hyper could.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">I: “Phantom...I mean Wraith may have a psychic shield, but that wont protect him from dowsing. Kinesis is our best shot.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">H: “We have to remember Wraith still has Phantom's power, and he could easily...disable Kinesis.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">K: “Really, Hyper? Your the second smartest Astrillian in the omniverse, and you think we'll bring Kinesis with us?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">H: “No...we just need to protect him while he dowses, otherwise Wraith could track the dowsing back to Kinesis, duh...”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">K: “Duh? Duh?! Oh okay, Speedo, your the smartest, We're dumb. Tell us the answer to two plus two!”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">T: “Katana, calm down....”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">K: “Calm down? Look, I've seen a dead body, been hurt by Wraith, been sick, laughed at and thrown in a lake! I think a girl has the right to act a little ticked off after all this!”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">I: “Okay, Katana, your right, as usual. But if your going to argue, please go and calm down first.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">K: “FINE!”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">Katana kicked the door open and stomped out of Key's room. Key was out, dealing with the Rogues, so the Enforcers were using his room as a meeting place.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">H: “What's her problem?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">T: “She's just worried about Phantom, that's all.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">I: “Okay, lets-”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">H: “Wait...I'm gonna go apologize...

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">T: “You don't have to, she's in the wrong, not you.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">H: “Yeah, but I pushed her over the edge by laughing at her...”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">I: “Fine, Hyper. Go apologize, then we can continue.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">H: “No, You guys go on ahead. I'll be a while.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">And with that, Hyper also sped out of the room, leaving Tornado and Inferno to the meeting.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“So, Tornado. What do you think we should do? Should we all go, and one stay behind to defend Kinesis, or the other way around?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“The other way around? Why would you only send one? Phan- I mean, Wraith, although Phantom would never acknowledge it, is at least as powerful as you!”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“The I can go, and you three can defend Kinesis.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Hmm...okay, sounds like a plan. Now, we just need to find him...”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">Kinesis was in the infancy, taking care of the young P.O.Ps aged zero to eight. A job maybe not the best to give to a deadpan. So when The Enforcers called on him for help, he gladly gave the job over to a healer P.O.P, and went to help them. Apparently, they wanted him to dowsed Phantom, or Wraith, or whatever he was called now. He liked Phantom, he seemed 'down to earth' as humans say, and they generally got along well. So he agreed, if just to get the one person on this dump-of-a-planet who understood him back.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">Kinesis came up with that Wraith was at Key Cove, a small cove at the east end of the island. Personally, Inferno was just glad he was not at Key Prison, they did not need a repeat of the break out that freed Erode, Disco and Ice Age. He also noticed how everything but Enforce HQ and the P.O.P House was named after Key, which was kind of annoying. But he forgot about it, more important things were going down. He teleported to the cove, and immediately wished he had waited till morning.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">Human bodies were everywhere, impaled on the rocks and floating in and out of the tide, the moons white rays mixing with their blood to make the water pink. There was red W's everywhere, painted with blood. It was a truly horrible site. Then, he heard a scream. A scream of desperation, of sorrow. A human scream.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">Inferno ran fast, towards the cave where the scream had emanated from. He knew that humans had no afterlife, so death was death for them. The screaming suddenly stopped, replaced with a dark laugh and a dripping sound. “WRAITH! I AM INFERNO, PRINCE OF FIRE! AND YOU ARE UNDER INTER-PLANAR ARREST FOR MURDER OF BOTH ASTRILLIANS AND HUMANS ALIKE!” Inferno shouted down the cave, and the laughter stopped. Feeling uneasy, Inferno turned his hand ablaze, and regretted it instantly. Phantom, hoodie and all, was standing in front of him, face-to-face. The only difference was the manic smile that contorted his face. Along with the human blood that discoloured it.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Well,well,well,wellwellwellwell...what have we got here? A prince, you say? How exciting! Especially, an Astrillian one, too!” Wraith rambled, while Inferno stood, paralysed by terror. He noticed a man lying on the floor behind Wraith, dead with a pool of blood around him. “Oh, are you admiring my artwork? Beautiful, isn't it? I like the letter W, and I also like red. So, I decided to combine them. Of course, I'm not totally insane. I painted a picture over there, a red sunset...” Wraith said, pointing to a wall to Inferno's side. Slowly, Inferno turned his head to see a painting of, truly, a red sunset over a red sea. With darker red to make men, who appeared to be floating, dead on the sea. “Ah, yes, I do like to paint. Red is such a nice colour, yes? I'm glad I only came to control on Earth, because now I can combine my two hobbies to their best potential. Red to paint, and killing humans to get the red from! Is it not fabulous?! ISN'T IT?!” Wraith continued, the smile slowly crumbing into a dark frown. “I get the feeling you don't appreciate my work...what a shame. You know, I needed a bit of white...so how about I get some from YOU!”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">After these words, Wraith leapt at Inferno, holding a knife in blood-clad fingers. Inferno reacted fast, shooting a fireball at Wraith's face. But the fire simply passed over him, negated by his telekinetic shield. Wraith landed on top of Inferno, but that only gave Inferno the advantage. Inferno pushed up, and kicked Wraith with his feet, sending him flying behind Inferno out of the tunnel, and smashing into a rock, which crumbled into the ocean. Wraith smashed his way out of the rocks, laughing hysterically. He stopped laughing, however, when Inferno smashed into HIM. He pushed Wraith into the ground, and bashed his head into the it, creating small craters with every hit. 'Wait, this is still Phantom's body. I cant simply break it! 'Inferno though, then grudgingly threw Wraith into the sky. He waited for him until he was a foot in front of Inferno, then punched Wraith in the chin. This time, he followed Wraith into the air by propelling himself with fire, repeatedly upper-cutting him. Finally, when they were a hundred feet above the cove, Inferno grabbed Wraith and threw him down into the forest of Key Island.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">Wraith flew down at the speed of sound, then smashed into the ground. He seemed to remember a similar thing happening to him a while back, but it was Phantom's memories, not his.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">Phantom felt the agony of his body as Inferno smashed him around the Island. Since he was the dominant personality, he felt the physical pain of the controlling personality when he got hurt. It really sucked. He thought he was close to Spirit, but now he was just convulsing on the ground in torture.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">Inferno teleported down to where Wraith lay, laughing slightly. “Heh heh heh...Pain is funny! It tickles!” Inferno shook his head in disgust. Whoever this sociopath was, he was most definitely crazy. Inferno punched Wraith unconscious, then teleported back to the P.O.P House.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“'''WHY. THE. BLAZE. DID. YOU. BRING. HIM. HERE?!'''” Katana screamed as she saw Inferno carry Wraith into the P.O.P House. “Relax, Kat. He's unconscious.” Inferno responded.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Don't call me that, only Phantom called me that.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Called?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Well, he's gone now, isn't he? Wraith took over!

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“What?! No...he...he cant be gone.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Well, even Wraith is gone now. No one could survive that much Inferno-punches.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“I killed him?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Yep, you broke Phantom's body. Kudos.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“But...”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Oh give it up Inferno! Phantom's gone, Wraith is all that's left!”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“How do you know that?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“I don't know it, I feel it.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Katana, at the moment, your feelings don't matter.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">Tears started to well up in Katana's eyes. 'Oops... 'Inferno thought, realizing he had spoken without thinking

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Wha? How could you SAY that?!”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">She ran off, sobbing. Inferno started to run after her, but Wraith started to cough. Inferno was about to punch him back to dead, but a hand grabbed his wrist. “WAIT! IT'S PHANTOM!” Hyper shouted, looking at Wraith, or Phantom. Wraith/Phantom opened his black eyes, and grinned.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">”Friends!”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Never-mind...” Hyper sighed

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">Inferno punched him back into unconsciousness.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Okay, I think I've got it. Since Phantom is the dominant personality, logic suggests that if you kill his current...life...Phantom will resurrect back in control. Think of it as a manual reset.” Hyper told Inferno and Tornado. It was now the middle of the day, and everyone was tired. “So...you want us to kill Phantom?” Tornado asked.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Nope. I can do it.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Hyper? Kill? Hyper?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“This monster killed Therm, now I'm gonna kill him. Don't try to disagree.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“We won't, Hyper. Come one, Tornado, lets leave him to it.” With those word, Inferno grabbed Tornado and dragged them both out of the Enforce HQ Medical Centre, where they had moved Wraith after Inferno had knocked him unconscious. Hyper grabbed a knife and an injection that read 'REVIVE'. He jammed the injection into Wraith's shoulder, and immediately he started to stir. “What the? Its so white in here...How did I end up in Above?” He slurred. “You didn't.” Hyper growled. Wraith looked over to him, grinning.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Good. I was not finished killing people!”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Well, that's to bad.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“What is?”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“That you weren't finished.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“What the Blaze are you- ACK!”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">Hyper drove the knife into Wraith's stomach, twisting it up. The mad-man screamed in agony, his body convulsing. Deep inside, so did Phantom.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“WHAT THE-”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">“Shut it. That was for Katana.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">Hyper then stabbed Wraith in the heart, killing him instantly.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;"> “And that was for Therm.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">The pain suddenly stopped, and Phantom got the idea that he was floating. Then he was, sort of. He was in the same place he was when he had first died, but this time it was...different. He then realized why. To his side, a woman, about his own age, was floating to. She had black eyes, like him, and brown and black hair. Her face was extremely beautiful, in a elfish way, but it was enough to make Phantom's heart ache. “Hello Phantom. My name is Revive.”

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">1 DAY LATER

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">Phantom had resurrected later then expected, but he had. Katana had immediately apologized to everyone for being a 'jerk', then hugged Phantom, weeping in joy. Phantom was back, Wraith was gone, and Inferno had made sure that Therm got to Above. So, things were looking up.

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">

<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;">For now....
