"This is talking."

'These are thoughts.'

"SHIT!" Danny cursed as he dodges another blast from the hooded specter before him.

'This guy's insane' he thought bitterly gazing at the gaping hole in the pavement left by the blast warily.

'And, much stronger than Plasmius could ever hope to be.' And soon there was no more time for thinking as another bolt was sent his way. Danny barely managed to get out of the way in time it impacted with the furniture store behind him. At least most of the town's people had enough sense to run away as the fighting started and no one had been killed in that blast. Danny had no time to be thankful though as another was lobbed his way just as he finished dodging the first.

'No time to dodge. Please let this work. Nothing else has.' Danny grimaced remembering the other failed attempts to defend himself and he hoped this one worked. Saying his prayers Danny threw up his ecto-sheild barely fast enough to deflect the blast.

'That worked marginally better this time.' Danny mused as he was sent flying through a building from the sheer force of the blast was getting a little tired of that last bit.

'What does this guy even want anyway? I mean I'm minding my own business enjoying the fact that at least I don't have any ghosts to deal with on top of everything else and this dude shows up with a chip on his should twice no triple the size of Vlad's ego. But wait there's more! Then he just decides he doesn't like that way I was looking at him or something cause he suddenly decides to hand me my ass on a silver platter.' Danny grumbled to himself as he pulled himself out of the rubble of what used to be the town hall a white halo hovering about his waist before disappearing.

'Great, just Great.' Danny gripes forcing his battered body to take flight. Answer could come later he reasoned after for now he had to try and reverse the dire situation he was in.

'This is sonot fair.' Danny groaned as he waited for his enemy to take his next move. If he didn't finish the fight soon he knew he was done for and what that meant for the people of Amity he didn't know. What he did know was that this battle ad been going on for hours and he was to the bone exhausted while his impromptu opponent still looked fresh as a freaking daisy. Danny was going over his limited options before his and the hooded specter's attention were grabbed by a familiar, to Danny any way, shout.

"Why god?" He groaned as he looked at the familiar figures of his parents staring up at them from the streets. At least they weren't going to attack him just yet Danny mused. It seemed they were more concerned with looking for survivors trapped in the totaled buildings first. But, the look in his mother's eyes promised pain and suffering later. Danny turned his eyes back to his opponent only to be blindsided by a solid punch to the face.

'Note to self, eyes on current enemies first Fenton. Everything else comes afterward.' he thought as he sailed backwards into the building behind him.

'Why did it have to be the furniture store?' Danny asks as he pulls himself out of the broken couch he had landed on. The halo flashed around his waist again and Danny had to fight to keep his transformation stable this time.

'I don't have much energy left. I take another hit like that and its over plus I get exposed to the entire city. I have to end this now.' Danny dragged himself out of the broken store window cutting his hands on the glass on the way out. But, Danny paid the wounds no heed.

'If I do that here I'm going to lose my transformation no matter what I do after. And, if he hits me like that again we get the same result.' Danny mused as he scanned the building for any signs of life. The buildings behind the specter where thankfully empty he noted. 'So no worries about human collateral damage thankfully.' Danny sighed keeping his eyes on his enemy who seemed to be content just sitting there watching him for now.

'Mom and dad were going to find out eventually.' Danny sighed mentally

'So they might as well find out now.' Danny muttered taking a deep breath gathering the rest of his energy and channeled every emotion he could in into the mix and wailed devastating everything in his path. It was a beautiful in a way, the stark simplicity of the destruction he left in his wake, and it earned him awe, fear, and hate from every eye watching. Energy spent Danny let himself fall to his knees as he searched for is enemy who was nowhere in sight and out of his sense's range if it had survived. Sighing in exhaustion he let the silver halo form around his body transforming him back into Daniel Fenton once more. The last thing he saw before the darkness took him where the faces of his mother and father one contorted in rage the other in hate.

'I am so boned.'

On the outskirts of town the black shade laughed…
