Chapter One: Little Dennis

Dennis was facing a serious enemy named Chad with blonde hair, blue eyes, and gray skin, in his wizard's apprentice costume. They were having a head on battle. The battle was about Matthew and Chad exclaimed that Matthew is a ghost and needed to go back to the Ghost Zone. Dennis didn't believe in him and he knows Matthew is his cousin and he is very important to him. Matthew was scared and he hides behind the tree. Dennis dodges every one of bit of Chad's wizard magic and plans not to get near it.

Chad had enough and he yelled, "MUTARE!" he points at the wand to Dennis and shoots him immediately in the chest.

Dennis falls from the sky and he was starting to shrink and age younger to a five years old. As he ages to five, Dennis' body started to lose control of his powers and starting to fly everywhere until he hits the ground. Matthew gasped when he saw him falling and he ran after him to catch him. Dennis cries for help and suddenly, got caught into Matthew's arms for a perfect landing.

Matthew set him down and smiles a little back at him. Dennis started to bawled in tears from his eyes and rubbed his eyes too. Matthew signed and then he glared back at Chad, his enemy.

Chad taunted him, "So Matthew, are you going to join the wizard in the ghost zone or not?"

"I'll never join you and change my cousin back to normal," he stomped his foot in anger, wanting Dennis to return back to normal.

Chad signed, "You know? I am not going to change him back to normal. I know the cure for him to return back to normal. Magic when he remembers, but now it's impossible for him to remember."

Matthew growled, "Well thanks for the tip and also, I'M NOT A GHOST!" he shouted at Chad, "I'M HUMAN!"

Chad sneered and turned his back on him, "Maybe you're not a human, just a sweet little, immature brat ghost," then he disappears away.

Dennis cried and sat down on the ground. He got a hurt a little and Matthew now has to care for this situation with Dennis. Matthew needs to turn him back to normal the way he was.

Dennis looked up to Matthew and wiped his tears away, "Who are you?"

Matthew signed in defeat, "I'm your cousin, mostly your little cousin."

Dennis gasped and he stepped back away from him, "But you don't have black dye on your hair and you're big."

Matthew responded back to him calmly, "Well, I dye my hair and also, do you remember me?"

Dennis shook his head a no, then Matthew starting to give him clues, "Well, what about magic act? Green? 13? Nagasaki?"

Dennis shook his head a no on the magic act, his color, and age, except the last name. He remembers his last name, "Well, I do have a last name Nagasaki and I hate ice-cream."

Matthew smiled, "Great and do you know where you live?" he started to test him if he remembers anything.

"San Diego, but I don't know my address or my house are," Dennis responded to him and then he asked, "But do you know where my mom and dad are?"

Matthew froze for a second and then thought in his mind, "What am I going to do? I can't let his parents see him like this or his friends. I have other people that can help my besides Team Yin Yang. Team Crestfield."

Matthew said, "Okay Dennis, is it okay if I take to someone's house?"

Dennis whined and whimpered, "But I wanna go home," he hides himself from him.

Matthew pleaded, "Please, I mean it Dennis, I know you and trust me, I'm your cousin and you were age younger to five years old," he grabbed Dennis' hands and pulled out the wand.

Dennis whined, "But I don't want to-

But it was too late, Matthew teleported to Alex's home and then he knocks on the door. In a moment, Alex walked by the door and opened it, "Hello?," she gasped in surprised, "Oh it's Matthew," she gave him a smile, "What brings you here?"

Matthew greeted her quickly, "Great to see you Alex and by the way, can you help me?"

Alex questioned, "With what?"

"You know, him?" he showed Dennis to her.

When she looked down at him, Dennis hides behind of Matthew's back and he's scared of big people like her. Alex commented with an awe, "Aww, he is so cute and who is he?"

"Haven't you recognized him? HE'S DENNIS, MY COUSIN!" Matthew hollered at her.

Alex asked, "Is it one of your messy magic making because I can't help you that."

"NO, it's my enemy named Chad and he changed Dennis into a five years old," Matthew crossed his arms and give her a look.

"Oh, I see and can I help?"

"Sure, I need to bring his memories back."

"Well, I'll give you help, LOGA! CHRIS!" Alex called the boys.

Loga and Chris stood up from the dining chair and walked over to the door to see who's there.

Loga gasped with no surprise when he saw Matthew, "Oh, isn't it the annoying Matthew that likes to explode my hair."

"Don't give me that look, Logie," Matthew made a serious look, "This time, I'm not going to mess with you."

Chris rolled his eyes, "Wow, you really hate each other."

"Yep," Loga nodded.

Chris asked Alex, "So, what's the problem here?"

Alex explained, "You see, Dennis is a five years old and you all need to regain his memories and turned him back to normal, not me cuz I got a promise to do with Mindy."

Chris and Loga both looked at each other shrugged their shoulders and accept the request. Matthew was relieved when someone finally gets to help him, even Loga too, so he can do it.

-Line Break-

In the hot afternoon at the beach, Dennis was sweating and even so the other two boys top because they're hot, except Chris since he has firepower. Megan took them to the beach and she set all of the beach stuff up.

Matthew signed, "So Dennis, do you remember the beach?"

"Uh yeah, I remember the beach and also, why are you trying to make me remembering something?" Dennis looked down at the sand and skipped rocks across the water.

Loga smiled, "Wow, you're good, Dennis."

Dennis appreciated it, "Thanks and what's your name?"

Loga answered, "My name is Loga and the one who is taking us to the beach is Megan by air. Matthew and I have to float by magic. Also, the last one with fire powers is Chris."

Dennis had no clue on their names either and he didn't remember it, "O-okay, but anyway when will I go home?"

"Soon as you get back to normal," he replied.

Suddenly, the sand was moving underneath of Dennis and it was shifting. Dennis was sinking down to the bottom quickly and Dennis didn't realize it.

When Matthew looked back, Dennis looks shorter than he was before, "Hey Dennis, why are you getting so small?"

Dennis looked down and he noticed that a quicksand trapped him and he wailed, "HELP!" but before anybody could help him, he was completely got sunk.

Matthew tries to lunge toward to him, but he was too late, "Dennis!"

Suddenly, the whole earth starting to rumble and then a giant robot appeared out of the sand. Loga and Matthew stepped away from it. Loga told Megan to get out of the way because something was big was incoming. Chris was in the water and he didn't realize it.

Megan gasped, "Oh my god, what is that giant mechanical robot trapping Dennis inside of there?"

Dennis was seen inside of the robot's belly and there is a see-through window. He started to scream and cry for help and he bangs against the window weakly.

Matthew yelled out for the robot, "WHO ARE YOU!"

The robot replied and the voice sounds familiar to all of them, "I am Vlad Plasmius and I found out your enemy turned your halfa cousin into a five years old."

Matthew questioned angrily to him, "What are you going to do to him?"

"Uh some stuff you don't know and I told Chad to hunt both of you down, but it found out that he told me that he turned Dennis into a five years old," explained Vlad with confidence of himself.

Chris immediately transform into his ghost form and his eyes flares in red with anger in his feelings. He clenches his fist and then gets out of the water and punch the robot from the back, but a ghost shield protected it.

Vlad clicked his tongue, "Ah, ah, ah, it's protected by a stronger ghost shield and you can't get through me."

Loga turned to Matthew and commanded, "Matthew, explode his suit."

Matthew nodded and grabbed out his wand from the jacket and points it at the robot suit. Matthew shouted, "EXPULSO!"

The robot suit exploded and Vlad intangibly got out of the suit and curses under his breath. Dennis started to fly up a little from the expulsion and then falls into the water. Once he is in contact with the water, he tries to reach to the shore, but the water was too deep for him.

Dennis yelled, "Help! I CAN'T SWIM!" he started to go under it, but kept kicking the water.

Megan gasped and runs toward to the water and transform into her ghost self, "Don't worry, Dennis, I'M COMING!"

Dennis started to whimper and he tries to breathe in for air, but he kept going down. Once he is completely deep under the water, he can't swim anymore and starting to give up. The water goes into his lungs and drowns him.

Megan was in the water and she swims under it and tries to find Dennis where he has fallen. Megan quickly swims after it when she sees him. But then Dennis was snatched out of the water, which confuses Megan.

Megan gasped, "Huh, where is he?" she swims above and gasped when she saw Vlad got him.

Dennis started to cough out of the water and getting rid of the water from his nose. Vlad evilly smirked down at Megan and blasted ecto-rays at her and force to be pushed down into the water. Vlad evilly crackled, "Now, I got you, time for my little experiment termite."

Dennis tries to open his eyes and his head started to feel dizzy and light. He passes out and closes his eyes the last time when he saw Vlad laughing.

Chris growled and blasted fireballs at him, but Vlad dodges it and blast it backs with an ecto-ray at Chris. Vlad teleports away wit Dennis by his dark shadows of himself.

Matthew and Loga both gasped when they both saw Dennis was gone.

Matthew broke down and cried, "Dennis is GONE!"

Chris growled, "I WAS THIS LITTLE CLOSE TO GET DENNIS BACK!"

Megan swims back up and tries to calm Chris down, "Okay Chris, just relax. We'll get him back."

Chris calmed down and signed, he floated back to the shore with the others and Megan too. Loga and Matthew pack up the beach stuff quickly and ready to go and find Dennis.

Loga said, "Okay, Dennis is kidnapped by Vlad, AGAIN! But we can still do this, right? It's impossible for him to get evil when he's little."

Matthew nodded, "You're right, Dennis was an innocent boy when he was little and also, he's very important to all of us. Without him, there will be no friends or alliance."

"Yep and let's go," Megan smiled to encouraged them.

-Line Break-

In the lab, Dennis was strapped to the lab table and he notices the touch and he opens his eyes to see who's doing it.

When Dennis widely opens his eyes and gasped, "Who are you? Where are the others?"

Vlad smiled, "I am here to help you."

"To find my parents like this way?"

"No, but the others who took you were liars to you," he lied to him.

Dennis gasped and believed in him, "Okay and w-w-what are you doing to me? I want to go home and be safe," he looked him in the eyes with his innocent looking face.

Vlad signed, "Well, doing something that you still don't know yet and also testing on your powers."

Dennis was confused and he questioned, "My powers? What powers?"

Vlad prepared the needled and turned around at him, "Your ghost powers."
