Here is another chapter! :)
Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom!
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;
Valerie sped up, seeing the ghost boy slowly come into view. It was flying past pursuing- wait. Is that Ember McLain? She's a ghost? Valerie thought in shock. When did Ember die? Or was she/it a ghost the whole time, her/its appearance oddly hadn't changed. Well, that explained a few things that Valerie had dismissed as special effects.
No matter. Valerie though. It does not matter, Ember is not my problem.
The Phantom had caught up to the Ember ghost and was now fighting it. Valerie readied her weapons. She zoomed out from the side of a building, making a beeline for the ghosts.
The ghosts saw her coming. The Ember ghost looked ready to fight, brandishing its guitar like a weapon. The Phantom looked confused, unsure whether to fight the other ghost, fight her, or flee.
"Relax ghost, I'm not after you at the moment." Valerie informed the ghostly rock star. "I'm here for Phantom,"
The Ember ghost looked unsure but then evidentially "decided" that it was not going to fight her and possibly the other ghost. Valerie watched it fly into the distance until it was just a dot.
"Seriously, you are just going to let her go!?" Valerie heard the ghost boy yell. She immediately was reminder of what she was doing. She fired her ecto-blaster at the ghost, and it dodged.
"I mean seriously, what kind of logic is that? She was trying to hypnotize people, I stopped her, and I'm the one who you decide is a threat!" It ranted, which just provoked Valerie even more.
"Shut up ghost, you know what you've done!" Valerie spat.
Valerie chased it through the city, firing blasts at it. The ghost did loop de loops, sped up, slowed down and flew through buildings. Valerie almost lost it at one point when it turned invisible, but then Valerie remembered something that her new suit could do. With a smirk, she turned on the ghost-vision feature on her visor. The ghost was pressed against a building waiting for her to fly by. It was in for a surprise. Pretending that she still couldn't see it, she flew on, but then looped back.
The ghost, thinking that she was gone had dropped its invisibility. It was facing away from her. She snuck up behind it, blaster in hand. She was about ten feet away from it when it took off. Valerie growled in frustration. Somehow it had heard her. She was sure that her suit had been extremely silent, but maybe the ghosts enhanced hearing heard something she couldn't. She took off after the ghost, but it had a head start. She saw it speed into an alleyway just out of her sight. Just before she reached the alleyway she saw a flash of light. She sped up, skirting the ground. She turned into the alleyway, before skidding to a stop right in front of a very confused Danny Fenton.
"Red Hunter! What are you doing here!" Danny exclaimed, and Valerie froze.
"I was chasing a ghost, did you happen to see it come through? Or what caused that light?" Valerie asked, trying to sound like she didn't know him. Danny had no idea about her unusual "extra-curricular activity", and she intended to keep it that way.
"No, I didn't see a ghost or a light. Sorry?" Danny said nervously. Valerie knew that he was very scared of ghosts, he always vanished whenever a ghost came anywhere near him.
"Ok, just keep and eye out for me please?" Valerie asked.
"I will." Danny promised.

Danny's POV
After Valerie left Danny let out a sign of relief. He had gotten nervous when Valerie had asked about a light, he had thought that he was far enough ahead that she wouldn't see that. He didn't know how but somehow, she had seen through his invisibility. He was lucky that his advanced hearing had allowed him to hear her sneaking up on him. He would have to be careful about things like that in the future if she could really see through his invisibility.
He did wish that Valerie would give him a break. It was not like he was intentionally malicious like the other ghosts, he just had had a few misunderstandings. It was just his luck that out of all of the ghosts out there that were actually evil, Valerie had chosen to hunt him. Geez, thanks Murphey. Danny thought sarcastically.
He was only a few blocks from Fentonworks, so Danny decided it might be a good idea to walk instead of fly like he usually did. With Valerie out looking for him, it might not be a great idea to make Phantom grace her with his presence just so that Danny could save five minutes of walking. As Danny walked, he hummed a tune to himself.
Ember, you will remember.
Ember, one thing remains.
Ember, so warm and tender!
You will remember my name!
Danny paused when he realized what he was humming. Great, the fight with Ember has left that song stuck in my head. Danny grumbled to himself. He would never admit it to Ember, but he did actually like that song, it was a very catchy song with a good beat. Of course, that does not mean that Danny wanted the song stuck in his head.
Danny turned the corner and froze. Valerie was slumped against a wall, Skulker towering over her.
"There is only room for one hunter in town." Skulker said as he pulled out his blaster. "It has been an honor fighting you."
Everything seemed to move in slow motion. Danny had only one thought in his heard. Protect Valerie. Danny lunged forward, intending to push Skulker out of the way and make his shot go off mark. Danny felt himself impact Skulker with great force at the same time he heard the blaster fire. He could only hope that he had been quick enough.
