A shock of sound rippled through the air to pierce the ears of the surrounding people. There were few people, just a boy with snow white hair with a shock of red blood, a black haired vampric looking man watching from above. A flame haired man glowered down at the boy, green fire burning brightly. He could hardly be called a man, his body that was not hidden by his clothes could was lit up and took the appearance of steel. He was no man, for he did not look it, he had the look of a cyborg. As the boy on the ground watched him, panting, the cyborg raised his right arm. With a slight grinding of gears a gun slid out. Its plates moved smoothly against each other to take the shape of something that could never fit in his arm if it was whole, no matter how muscle shaped that electronic arm was. It started to glow red as it built power and he took aim at the white haired green eyed boy on the ground. He shot down at the boy, the red ball of lightning and energy moving swiftly through the air. A yelp came from the boy as he rolled to the side, the angry red ball barely missing him. As the ball collided with the ground it sparked and shot a bolt of bright red lightning, strait up. The black haired man's eyes widened and he darted to the side, letting out a sharp screech.
"Skulker, you idiot! Do not miss the boy! If that blast hits me, I will be destroyed, and you will not get paid!" He glared down at him, red eyes bearing down on the robotic man.
The white haired boy froze. "What!? Vlad, I thought you wanted me as your son!" He was rather distressed upon finding out that this man wanted him dead or at least out of the picture. He stood at held his side. It had bruised in the fight. His legs were shaking under him, weak from the fight and the many more that he had been forced to fight in throughout the day. Vlad glared down at him.
"Daniel, you have ruined my plans far too many times. Skulker, finish this!" The hulking cyborg grunted in reply and took aim again. Danny let a swear slip through his mouth as he tensed. He couldn't dodge this… He had to do something! He sucked in a breath and took a stance as the gun charged again, the red energy building. He clenched his fists and began to wail.
The wail hit Skulker and Vlad as strong as a wall of bricks. They were forced to tense and close their eyes as they were thrown back by the wall of deafening sound and ectoenergy. It was a harsh few seconds that seemed to drag on forever as the boy tried his hardest, using what he had left of his energy. He stopped, falling to his knees. He closed his eyes and hugged his arms to his chest as two white rings expanded from his waist. His hair turned black as night and his eyes turned sky blue. Vlad and Skulker dropped to the ground, tired, but not defeated. Vlad had been stripped of his ghost form, his hair turning white and his eyes a steel blue. He stood, wavering before brushing himself off and walking slowly to stand over Danny's fallen form. Skulker had fared worse, his left arm torn off and his right leg almost gone, striped to its bare supports. He staggered over to stand next to Vlad. They smirked down at the tired and weak boy. Vlad turned and nodded to Skulker. Skulker's smirk grew and he turned to gaze back down at Danny, as raised his right arm and took aim at the boy's face, red energy building again. Danny opened his eyes and looked up at them just in time to see a burst of red before his whole world was engulfed in darkness.
