Well this is the final chapter of Same. Sorry if the fighting was a bit boring...i was never good at fighting scenes and romance isn't my strong point either...anyways i don't own Danny Phantom or any of its character except Amber(OC)
Soon the remaining four days passed by in a blur. I spent the first three days training with Danny and trying out new spells. The last day was spent resting since Danny refused to do any training with me and kept an eye on me all day so I wouldn't sneak off to train.
"We're lucky that the deadline isn't up yet" said Danny as he gathered his books. Today was the seventh day and also the day we were going to confront Vlad.
"Yeah, we are. It's a good thing that I can communicate with Silver without releasing him too. He's been telling me a lot of useful things" I replied. It was hard to admit but I was nervous. Vlad was indeed a strong opponent. Even I who had only gone against him once knew it. I heard chuckling beside me and saw Danny chuckling at me. Angered, I demanded that he tell me what he was laughing about.
"Even though you try to hide it, it's still obvious that you're nervous, Sam" said Danny.
"I can't help it. I'm worried that Vlad might have done something to Tucker. And why the hell did he kidnap Tucker in the first place?" that was something I had been wondering for a long time.
"It's my fault" said Danny, as he voice became solemn and his expression downcast.
"It can't be your fault. Vlad and you are enemies" I said.
"It is. Vlad probably saw you and Tucker with me, that's why he thought he'd kidnap Tucker and force me to give the infi-map to him" said Danny.
"That's it? It isn't your fault like I said. Both Tucker and I wanted to be your friends. The only one at fault is Vlad. Plus, I don't regret having made such a great friend like you" I said, smiling at him.
"Do you really just see me as a friend?" asked Danny, looking down.
"You're more than a friend, you're one of the most important friends I ever had" I said with a smile.
"The boy has already realized it, why can't you?" Said Sliver in my mind.
"Realized what?" I asked, confused.
"It is nothing…" trailed off Silver as I heard him gave a sigh.
"Sam? Was Silver talking to you?" asked Danny.
"Huh?" I asked as I looked around. Whenever Silver contacted me, Danny told me that it was like I was in another world.
"Yeah" I answered as I noticed that everyone had already gone home.
"Come on, we should be going now. Remember to use that spell if we can't beat him with the usual" said Danny as he led me out of the classroom.
"I…remember. Anyway what did you mean when you asked me how I felt about you?" I asked as I looked at Danny's retreating back.
"Nothing much" said Danny without turning around.
"You should go get ready. I don't know if we'll even come back from the fight with Vlad. Don't you want to do something for your family before we go?" asked Danny with his back to me. I thought hard about it. It was true that my parents were overbearing at times but…I still loved them. And my grandmother as well, the one who was always there for me.
"I understand, see you at 7 outside my house, Danny" I said as I ran off.
"Mom, Dad, Grandma! Are you home?" I called out as I opened the door.
"I'm sorry dear, but I'm afraid it's only your grandma" said my grandmother as she came out of the kitchen.
"It's alright. Say, Grandma, will you come with me to the park?" I asked as I smiled at her.
"Oh, I was just thinking of going there. The air in this house doesn't suit me" said Grandma as she walked off to her room to get ready. I smiled and reached into my bag to pull out the presents I had prepared for my parents. Going up to their room, I placed them side by side on their bed before going to my own room.
"I'm ready bubeleh!" called out my grandmother.
"Coming!" I yelled back down as I closed the door silently and ran down the stairs.
"So why the sudden invitation dear?" asked my grandmother as we walked to the park.
"I just felt like taking a walk with you" I answered as we reached it.
"Ah, the air feels great here doesn't it bubeleh" said Grandma as she turned to me. I smiled and dashed off to buy some ice cream.
"Here. I still remember you would always buy me ice-cream whenever we came to the park when I was little" I said as I handed Grandma her favourite vanilla ice-cream.
"Bubeleh, I know there's something troubling you. You can tell me about it" she said as we sat down on the bench.
"It's nothing. Don't worry grandma" I said as I licked at my ice-cream.
"You know, bubeleh, I'll always be here for you" said my grandmother as she smiled at me. I smiled at her and it wasn't until 6 that we got home.
"Here, grandma. I thought that you'd like this" I said as I handed her the present.
"You didn't have to do something like this bubeleh" said Grandma as she accepted the present. I chose not to say anything and headed up to my room. Grabbing a sling bag, I placed the book inside and heading to the closet, I looked for something that would enable me to move about easily and would not hinder me when I was walking. Finding it, I grabbed it and changed.
"All done" I said to myself as I grabbed the sling bag and after making sure there was no one outside, dashed out my room and out the mansion. It was already 6:50 pm at this time. Standing outside, I waited for Danny.
"You're early" said a voice. I turned around to see Danny in his ghost form. The sky had already begun to turn dark, making him very noticeable.
"So are you" I answered.
"Let's go" said Danny as picked me up bridal style. The wind blew against my face as he flew.
"Is it cold?" he asked as he looked down at me. I shook my head wondering why the atmosphere had become so solemn. I preferred the Danny who was always cheerful and could make me smile.
"Are you worried?" I asked, since that was the only possible reason I could think of.
"Worried? Of what?" Danny asked.
"Worried that we might not come back" I answered.
"A bit" he said. I nodded and the rest of the flight was passed in silence.
"We're here" said Danny as he swooped down and placed me on my feet gently.
"Danny, promise me that both of us will come back. And we'll come back alive" I said as I turned to look at him.
"I promise. And when we come back, I have something important I have to tell you" said Danny.
"I'll listen, so long as you'll come back" I said as I smiled at him. Danny fazed us through the door and we found ourselves inside his mansion.
"I suppose you are not here to give me the infi-map?" said a voice.
"Vlad" I growled out as I recognized the voice.
"If it isn't the girl" said Vlad cockily.
"You think you can beat me? A mere human like you?" said Vlad as he smirked. I smirked at him causing him to glare at me suspiciously. Raising my hands, I thought of the incantation in my mind, 'Water dragon, show yourself and destroy my enemy' as I did so, water gathered and took on the form of a dragon before rushing at Vlad. Vlad, who had obviously not expected this was not prepared and took a direct hit. Danny, at that time began to aim blast after blast at Vlad, taking advantage of the situation.
"Why you insolent children!" yelled out Vlad as he flew up from the dust. He had been hit but not badly. Both Danny and I blinked in disbelief. Danny had fired a barrage of ectoblasts at him and yet, he looked almost unharmed. Holding out my palms, I chanted,
"Fire, raze the ground!" fire sprouted forth from my hands and reached towards Vlad. He managed to put up a shield at the last minute but it was too late since the fire had touched him and was burning.
"Danny, now!" I yelled out as Vlad tried desperately to get the fire to settle down. Danny charged up a huge ectoblast before releasing it at Vlad who was hit by it. The dust that resulted caused us to lose sight of him.
"Call me out now, Sam!" said Silver in my mind. Nodding, I touched the necklace with one hand and said,
"Silver Wolf" The necklace glowed before disappearing and Silver appeared in front of me. His back faced me as he guarded me.
"Call out your staff. You will need it to defeat him" said Silver. I nodded and raising my hand high, I chanted,
"Goddesses of the Moon and Star, bestow me a weapon of which will help me in my journey" The staff which had the same pattern as the necklace materialized in my hand. The moon and star sitting beside each other was at the tip of the staff and glowed brightly. Holding it out in front of me, I looked around, searching for Vlad.
"Sam, be careful!" I heard Danny yell out.
"Ugh!"
"Danny?" I called out.
"Wind, blow and allow me to see" I chanted. Wind blew and the dust was cleared away. I gasped when I saw what had happened to Danny.
"Danny!" I called out as I ran to him. He was holding his chest where ectoplasm dripped from it.
"What happened?" I asked as I supported him with my arms.
"He's coming. Be on your guard!" said Silver. I turned around, my staff held out in front of me. Both my feet were planted firmly on the ground as I thought hard about which incantation I could use. Suddenly, Vlad fazed through the ground and without warning, threw an ecto ball at me. Holding the staff out in front of me to defend myself, I thought of using the wind shield.
"Concentrate on attacking, Samantha! I'll guard! It is my duty as your guardian" said Silver. I saw Silver standing in front of me and ice had reached all the way to Vlad. I nodded and turned to Danny.
"Are you alright?" I asked as I knelt down before him.
"I'm okay, this is nothing" said Danny as he managed a smile.
"You sure?" I asked as I looked at his wound.
"It's me we're talking about. Anyways don't use that spell unless we have no other choice left. You can only use it once every day right?" said Danny as he stood up.
"I won't" I answered.
"He's coming, both of you, prepare yourself!"
"Wind, merge with my staff!" I yelled out as wind surrounded my staff and turned it into a sword. Feeling with my powers for Vlad's ectoplasmic signature, I felt it coming from behind.
"HA!" I yelled out as I swung the sword down as hard as I could.
"Tch, you really thought you could win like this?" said Vlad from a corner of the room. He was clutching his shoulder which was dripping ectoplasm. Danny aimed at ectoblast at him from the side which he blocked with an ectoplasmic shield before disappearing.
"Be careful, Sam!" called out Danny to me. I readied the sword in front of me, the best position to strike. Suddenly, feeling something grab my leg, I looked down and saw a gloved hand. In one swift motion, I was tossed through the air.
"Ugh!" the sound escaped my mouth as my back hit the wall hard.
"Sam!" yelled out Danny as he flew over to me. He managed to freeze Vlad in place before looking me over. I clutched my shoulder as it began to bleed.
"I'm fine, this is nothing" I managed out.
"Hold still both of you. I will heal you" said Silver as he approached us. He blew on my shoulder and for some reason, his breath was cold. As it covered my shoulder, it grew warm and I watched in amazement as my injury disappeared. He did the same to Danny who after being healed, looked in disbelief at his chest which was no longer bleeding.
"I didn't know you could do that" I said as I looked at Silver.
"You never asked" replied Silver before charging up a ball of water and firing it at Vlad who had managed to get out of the ice. He dodged it and disappeared. When he next appeared, he was holding a sword and swung it down at Danny hard. A huge gash appeared across Danny's back.
"Danny!" I yelled out in alarm.
"I'm fine…Guess we have no choice but to use it" seeing my worried face, he smiled at me and said,
"If we beat Vlad, I promise I won't die. So concentrate on beating him. And I'll use it on him" I nodded, tears welling up. He was obviously in pain but didn't say a thing. Looking forward I signaled to Silver to freeze Vlad and make sure he didn't escape. Taking a deep breath, I chanted out loud,
"The five elements, Water, Fire, Wind, Earth, Lightning, merge and strike down my enemy. Even at the cost of my own life, make sure that my enemy will not be able to stand again" as the spell formed, Danny used his ghostly wail on Vlad and while Vlad was still immobile, I fired the spell at him. I watched as it made contact, the five elements hitting him all at once. With our attacks combined together, Vlad was drained of all his energy.
"Use the sealing spell now, Samantha! Before he recovers" I nodded and chanted the incantation of the most powerful sealing spell I had found in the book.
"Light that vanquish shadows, merge with ice that freezes evil and seal my enemy. Make it so that no one's blood, not even mine, will be able to undo this seal. Let this evil remain sealed forever, undiscovered" Light gathered and merged with the ice before heading for Vlad. They froze him from his feet before traveling up. I watched in relief as Vlad was sealed completely in the ice. The smile dropped from my face when I felt my chest throbbing. I clutched my chest, wondering what on earth was wrong with me and was surprised when I coughed up blood.
"You used too much magical power and your body was strained" explained Silver. Not caring about myself, I rushed over to Danny who was in even worst shape than me.
"Danny! Are you ok? Open your eyes!" I yelled out in desperation.
"Sam…" I heard Danny's voice.
"I'm here" I said as I held his hand. I was worried and there was another feeling in my heart I couldn't describe.
"Remember I said I needed to tell you something?" I nodded as I gripped his hand tighter.
"I wanted to tell you, I loved you. It doesn't matter if you don't feel the same way though" said Danny. My eyes widened at the word 'love'.
"Danny…" I murmured. What was this feeling? Maybe I loved Danny as well, just like he did me. I remembered all the times my heart had raced when he was near, how I couldn't just leave him alone even after he had lied to me.
"Danny…I… I love you too" I said as I finally realized what I felt for Danny was not just mere friendship but love. Suddenly, a warm light reached us.
"This warm light…Amber?" I called out as I looked towards the source of the light. I looked down and saw that Danny's blood was disappearing and when I turned him over, I found out the gash on his back was disappearing. Out of the light stepped a figure. When the light disappeared it revealed Amber. However, this time she had the wings of an angel on her back.
"Good job, Samantha, my descendant. I have healed the boy to the best of my ability. Now it all depends on his will to live" said Amber as she headed for Vlad.
"Isn't there any other way?" I asked, desperate.
"Kiss him. Your powers will then turn into the life energy he needs. Our powers didn't come from just the want to be strong. It also came from the want to protect those that we love. If you do so, he'll live" said Amber as she turned to look at me with a faint smile on her face.
"Alright" taking a deep breath, I leaned forward and kissed Danny. I was surprised when I felt Danny kissing me back. After what felt like an eternity, we broke apart.
"Danny…You're alive!" I exclaimed happily as I hugged him.
"Yeah, and Sam…" I looked up at him, about to ask 'what' when I felt his lips on mine. Closing my eyes, I savoured the moment. When we finally pulled apart, I heard a chuckle and immediately jumped back.
"Samantha…you remind me much of myself when I was your age" said Amber as she smiled at me. I blushed and looked away.
"Now, I shall take him to Hell where he will be punished" said Amber as she floated up, along with Vlad.
"Hell? What did he do?" I asked as I looked at Amber.
"Heaven has been displeased with him for some time already. When he was given powers, it was to help mankind but instead he chose to use it for his own benefits. And we believe, he may have released a great evil that had been sealed away with the combined efforts of both witches and wizards of the ancient past" said Amber.
"For that, he must receive his punishment. Do not fear, the seal will not be undone. He will be punished through illusions. For even though he has been sealed, his consciousness is still there" continued Amber as the warm light appeared once more and surrounded them. They disappeared along with it, to heaven I suppose.
"Now, follow me to find your friend. I have his scent. Samantha…do not recall me when we reach him. He must know of the powers both of you have or else he might turn into your enemy" warned Silver. I nodded and followed Silver with Danny beside me. Soon we stood before a room with gigantic doors. Taking a deep breath, I pushed against it. When it didn't budge, I wasn't surprised.
"Well, since I had to tell him I'm a witch sooner or later, I might as well do it now" I said as I chanted,
"Water dragon, show yourself and destroy my enemy" the dragon formed and charged towards the door, smashing it into bits.
"Whoa!" cried out a voice from inside, a voice I recognized as Tucker's.
"Tucker, I'm coming!" I called out as I dashed into the room, Danny and Silver behind me.
"Sam? Is that you?" asked Tucker as I saw him.
"You're safe!" I said as I smiled.
"Yeah, I am…And what the hell is that gigantic wolf?! It's not normal! Oh, Phantom! Hi!" I blinked at Tucker abrupt outburst and how he had switched almost immediately.
"Actually, I have something to tell you" I said as I told him the whole story.
"Danny…since it's your secret, you should decide whether you want to tell him or not" I said as I turned to Danny. I had stopped when I had come to the part about my 2nd encounter with Amber but I had skipped all the parts with Danny in it.
"Tucker, you might want to brace yourself since this might come as a big shock to you" said Danny as he took a deep breath and transformed.
"Wait…Danny is Phantom? Phantom is Danny?" said Tucker as he pointed at Danny then at the empty air besides Danny.
"Yes. And stop pointing at nothing!" I said as I whacked him on the head.
"Come on, get on Silver, he'll fly us home" I said as I climbed onto Silver's broad back. Tucker and Danny both did as was told and after we had dropped Tucker off and was at my house, I recalled Silver and turned to Danny.
"I'm glad you told me how you felt Danny…" I said as I looked at the floor, knowing full well I was blushing.
"Sam…" I looked up, only for my lips to meet Danny's. Closing my eyes, I wrapped my arms around his neck as I kissed him back. When we broke apart, both of us were slightly breathless.
"I'm glad I met you Sam. See you tomorrow?" said Danny as he smiled at me.
"Yeah" I answered. It was now already 1 am. Opening the door to my house silently, I turned around to wave goodbye to Danny before closing the door, making sure there was no noise. Silently, I tiptoed to my room and decided to take a shower since I was covered in debris from the fight. Soon after that, I went to sleep.
"Bubeleh! You'll be late if you sleep any longer!" called out a voice.
"Grandma?" I asked as I rubbed the sleep from my eyes. Turning to look at my clock, I cried out in surprise.
"I'm going to be late!" I yelled out as I hurriedly threw my clothes on and brushed my teeth. After washing my face, I ran downstairs and out the door with a quick 'bye!' before running off.
"Danny!" I called out when I saw him ahead.
"I'd like it if you guys noticed I'm here" commented Tucker. I looked at Danny and saw him smiling mischievously. Both of us knew what to do. Clasping our hands, we stared at each other, completely ignoring Tucker.
"You two are doing this on purpose!" cried out Tucker as he stomped off.
"The last one to reach school is a cockroach!" yelled out Danny as we separated our hands and dashed off, leaving Tucker behind.
"Hey, that's not fair!" yelled out Tucker as he chased after. I turned back, laughing as I saw Tucker trying to catch up with us before looking at Danny who was laughing like I was. This was the best. All of us were alive and there was no more Vlad. I just hoped that everything would stay this way.
