It. Wasn't. Easy!

Jason would like to make that very clear.

Jason doesn't even know how long he has been wondering this green void and let him tell you that it's been a hell and a half.

So let's recap.

Apparently this place is called the Infinite Realms or the Ghost Zone, take you pick. It's the land of the dead were the souls of the restless dead and those with unfinished business in the mortal realm are send to spend an eternity. These beings are called ghosts, and that's what he was, a ghost. Jason was dead, it honestly came as less of a shock as you'd expect. He just hadn't really felt, well alive since he wake up in this hell and technically that's what this place was, hell. This was the place for the souls of the damned and Jason fit right in with them.

Turns out those doors lead to places called Ghost Lairs and if you open one without announcing yourself first, 9 times out of 10 your in for a nasty surprise. Jason had to learn that the hard way.

After a little while of been stuck here, Jason had gotten full control over his hovering ability and he could even fly short distances.

Jason had ran into other ghosts, some friendly some not, and they explained the basic in's and out's of this place to him to the best of their ability. Although granted, they themselves knew very little about to Ghost Zone other then it was like the flip side of reality. Where Earth, the whole material plane of existence, was one side and the Ghost Zone, the land of the dead and deceased, was the other.

The ghost's even told Jason that he had more powers than just flight. All ghosts, no matter how powerful, had the three basic power of invisibility, intangibility, and flight. Ghost's with unique forms, ghost like Jason apparently, also had less then common powers (such as ectoblasts) and even powers unique to them.

One time, Jason was on one of the larger chunks of land floating around practicing his flight when he decide to take a break by a green river. He caught his reflection in what he assumed was water and wasn't really prepared for when he saw.

Jason's hair was white as snow and, just like the rest of his body, gave off a ghostly glow. Jason's eyes glowed redder then blood and his skin was a fair shade of tan.

All in all, it was cool/weird and Jason wondered why he never noticed it earlier, but just shocked it off as ghost weirdness and moved on.

Jason had been having a day, so to speak.

When Jason left his lair (he found his a while ago) he was almost immediately attacked by the mutant monsters that had been passing by. After dealing was that, he made his way to the Infinite Library. However, since Ghost Writer was still in Walker's Jail for breaking 'The Christmas Truce', Jason had the whole library to himself.

Jason spent an undetermined amount of hours in the library reading anything from Earthen classics, to 'The Infinite Realms: A "Resent" History', to a Tamarinian folklore book and a Kryptonien book called 'History of the People' which were quite interesting founds that Jason decided to take home with him to reread and analyzed later. He knew Ghost Writer wouldn't mind him borrowing books as long as he return them completely interact.

It was on his fly back to his lair, however, that Jason stumbled upon something rather strange. Even by the Realms standards. It was a floating black and yellow hexagon with a swirling portal in its center.

Now, Jason had seen many portals, from the doors to the ones that would appear out of nowhere, but this was nothing like he had ever seen. It felt... False. Wrong. Mechanical. Artificial.

That's when it hit him, he's heard about this before from that wanna-be rockstar lady once.

The Fenton Portal.

A human-made gateway into the Material Plane guarded by a powerful and extremely territorial Half-ghost, High Prince Danny Janus Phantom.

Jason wasn't so sure he believed the half-ghost bit but he wasn't about to go around pissing off any royalty. Especially, not the high prince of the entire dimension in which he currently inhabited.

However, Jason couldn't help being curious. It'd been over two years since he'd seen the Earth and what he could remember of his old home was fuzzy at best. Maybe a peek couldn't hurt? He'd be in and out before anyone knew he was there.

Mind made up, Jason flow through the portal excited to see what awaited him on the other side.

What could possibly go wrong?
