Chapter 11
Danny flew at the Phantom, but he turned invisible and Danny crashed into the wall behind him. His eyes darted around the room to find the phantom, when he suddenly felt a punch in his stomach and was sent flying into a lake near the entrance to the basement.
"Give up. You say the name phantom without knowing what one can do. Within moments, Samantha will be the pahntom while I'd be a strong ghost!" The phantom finished his monologue with an evil laugh. Then Tucker jumped on the phantom's back and began holding on for dear life.
"Leave Sam and Meg alone!" he yelled. The phantom threw him off and toward a spiky wall. His eyes grew wide and he held out his hand. Tucker stopped midair and gently floated to the ground, then he looked at the phantom.
"Meg? Are you still in there?" Tucker said. Just then, Danny hit the phantom with an ecto blast and blasted him into the wall apposite him. The phantom snarled at Danny, before phasing through the wall.
"Danny! Meg's still in there! We need to reach her!" Tucker yelled
"How do we reach her?" Danny asked, as the phantom grabbed him around the neck.
"Meg!!" Tucker yelled. The phantom blinked his eyes and opened them. They lost their red color and returned to their origional green color.
"T.. Tucker?" the phantom stuttered in Meg's voice. The phantom closed his eyes tightly and began faltering in the air, dropping Danny in the proccess.
"What are you doing? You are my slave!" Said the phantom's voice.
"I don't want to be your slave!" Said Meg's voice.
"You had nothing without me! Who gave you a chance to see your friend before she died?"
"That doesn't matter now! I've had enough of doing your dirty work!" The phantom put his hands on the mask.
"No! Without the mask, I'll be weak and you'll become what you are!"
"I don't care if I return to my ghost form, at least you will be gone and Tucker would be safe!" The phantom tore the mask off and threw it to the ground. "Danny! Destroy the mask!" That was Danny's cue to raise his hand and blast the mask into tiny pieces with an ecto-blast. Green smoke was emited from the mask while a green light enveloped Meg. When the light was gone, she fell to the floor, a slight tinge of green to her skin and her auborn hair turned blonde. Tucker rushed to help her up.
"Meg? Is that you?" he asked
"Yeah it's me Tucker." she said, a little british accent to her voice. Danny walked up to her.
"So, you're a ghost?" he asked
"Yes Danny I am. About three hundred years ago I found that mask. It promised me the chance to see Christine Daee and her family." Meg said. "We were the best of friends. Sadly, it came at a cost. The phantom gained control over my full body to kill Christine's family so he can be strong. He was always a twisted man, even when he wasn't a phantom. The mask hid me from your ghost sense, and with every new generation, my form changes so the descendants wont recognize me."
"So, if this was all a fake, what's your name? Your real name." Tucker asked. Meg sighed before answering.
"My real name is Meg Giry, so technically not everything was a fake."
"Yeah right."
"It wasn't. I really fell for you Tucker. I told you it wouldn't work out because, well, I'm a ghost and you're human. I really love you Tucker."
"You... you meant it?"
"Yeah, I meant it." Then, the two leaned close and gav eachother a kiss. Tucker didn't notice that he was flying off the ground when they started kissing, but he wouldn't have cared, because now, he was the happiest person on Earth. When they parted, they landed softly on the floor.
"Hey, what about Sam?" Danny asked. Without missing a beat, Meg snapped her fingers and the lid on Sam's capsule flew open and Sam sat up and rubbed her head. Danny flew to her side.
"Sam? You okay?" he asked
"Yeah I'll be fine." she said, noticing Meg's change. "Meg? That you?"
"Yeah Sam. She was a ghost who was under the phantom's control and then she helped beat him." Danny said
"What're friends for?" Meg said, turning back to look at Tucker. Then, a shining light came from above.
"What's that?" Tucker asked
"Heaven. Thanks to you all I can finally move on." Meg said. "I'll miss you Tucker."
"I'll miss you too Meg."
"But I'll be an angel. I'll always watch over you." She kissed him on the cheek before turning into a ghost ball and flew into the light. When the light faded, Danny noticed something.
"Tucker, are you crying?" he asked his friend. Tucker rubbed his eyes before turning to Danny.
"Yeah." Tucker said. "Let's get out of here." Danny grabbed onto his friends and flew them out of that place.
One Week Later...
They were all sitting at the Nasty Burger, eating, well, Nasty Burgers.
"Hey Tuck, how are you coping with the girl you fell in love with being an angel?" Danny asked
"Eh, It was nice." Tucker said
"You really think she's watching over you?" Sam asked
"I don't know, possible." Tucker said, throwing away his trash. "Gotta go!" He left his friends sitting there. When he went outside, and smelled the cool air. He looked up at the sky and knew it was true. Meg was and forever was watching him.
