The body was lying in front of them. Half of his face was torn off and his clothes had scorch marks. And not just any scorch marks, tinted green marks. Ectoplasm was seeping out of his wounds and his breathes had ended minutes before. The fall wasn't what killed him but the bruises had.
Phantom stood before him and checked for his pulse. He found none and he stood up. His face hidden in the shadows of the concrete building. His bruises had started to heal and he wished he could say the same for the person whose body was lying in front of him. He took a deep breath as he heard footsteps approaching him. He didn't need to turn and see who it was because he knew who it was.
After labored breathing, the Phantom heard the voice that had been detached of all hope.
"Dash's prosecution and everything he ever worked for...undone!" Gregor's lips were parched and his voice was coming out gravely. He swallowed the lump in his throat and looked at the body in front of him. He spoke after the silence which he assumed was Phantom's answer, "Whatever hope was left, dies with Dash's reputation. When they find out what he did..." but before he could finish his sentence, the Phantom spoke, "They won't know. They won't find out."
Gregor gave out a bitter laugh, "Six dead, two of them cops. You can't just go past it!" he looked up to meet glowing emerald irises.
"We can't let Vlad win. If anyone finds out about what happen then Vlad would have won. They won't find out."
What Vlad had done to put Dash on his side would make people think of him as the villain. Vlad had said so himself that if the people of Amity finds out who the real culprit is then the only hope that had left the city standing would shutter and he would have won. No one would believe what the Phantom had to say. So the only way to approach it would be to frame himself and keep the city under his invisible protection.
Phantom crouched down and examined the bruises on Dash's face and turned to look at Gregor whose eyes were bulging out of his skin. Phantom spoke grimly as he stood up, "Amity needs to believe in their true hero." Gregor's face etched in confusion then he followed Phantom's line of vision and his eyes widened, "No, Danny. You can't do this!" But Phantom shook his head and looked at Gregor in the eye, "Either you become a hero or you live long enough to watch yourself become a villain. I'm not a hero. Amity believed that and they need to keep believing that they don't need me."
Gregor kept shaking his head at the animosity of his words and then Phantom spoke again as he backed up, "I killed those people," he told Gregor to make him the person to take the blame for Dash.
"No, You didn't..."
"Call them!" Phantom referred to the SWAT teams that had surrounded the place, "You'll hunt me. Condemn me. Set the dogs on me and do all this because this is what needs to be done," then he turned and walked back from Gregor who looked at him with an expression that had some hope and that was all Phantom needed. He turned and around and detached himself from the ground and flew towards the sky just when he heard the sound of police cars and the barking of dogs.
This was what needed to be done.
"Danny Phantom, wait!" Gregor turned and saw one of the children that had been taken hostage. The little boy came running down, and as he saw the Phantom flying away he turned to Gregor, "Why is running away?"
"Because we're chasing him."
"But he didn't do anything wrong!"
"Because he's a hero. And he would do anything to save his town. So we'll hunt him, because he can take it."
"But then who would protect us?" the child turned his wide eyes to the darkened sky feeling confused and unsafe.
"He will save us like he always did. Like a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A Phantom!"
The next morning in the city hall, Gregor cleared his throat and stood behind the podium as he gave his speech to the people of Amity Park. A large framed picture of Dashiel Baxter hung on the wall that was to his back no matter how much that picture irked him. Because that man had single-handedly sealed the future of his city. And it disgusted him to give a speech in public regarding the man you betrayed them all.
"A hero. But not the hero we needed but the hero we deserved..."
The Phantom link was destroyed because the people thought they no longer needed him. Phantom had told him that he would always do whatever it takes to save his city from menace and he was right. Phantom had thought that becoming the Public Enemy # 1 was still the right thing and Gregor was starting the believe that it was on some level.
The Phantom would protect them with the invisible eye.

Okay not that good. But I have an idea, it's like a challenge from my muse, Red Thread is a Threat.
The thing is that I am making a series of one shots regarding any scene from any movie or cartoon. So you tell me the scenes and the movie and I'll make the fiction.
Review!
Love,
