Chapter XXVI: The Hunter's New Prey

Dani was busy helping the Fenton's trying to rebuilt there home from the invasion, but all she could think of was Danny, she could not believe he was gone, and then this whole prank thing, could he be alive, Sam and the others are probably out looking for him, then she heard Maddie calling her.

"Dani"

"Yeah?"

"We're just going to quickly run out and get more materials to finish up, we'll be back soon, if the kids come around tell them where we are"

"Ok"

Dani watched as the got into the slightly rebuild GAV and drove off to the hardware store, they seemed a little bit happier today, maybe because there was a chance that he's alive. Suddenly Dani's ghost sense went off. Not now, Dani turned around just in time to see something flying at her. Dani dodged out of the way as Ectoplasmic Net flew over her head, Dani looked up to see none other than Skulker.

"Oh it's you, what do you want I'm not in a good mood"

"Well I just happened to be in the neighborhood and I still want that Halfa pelt"

"That's gross"

"So if I can't have the late whelps, at least I can have his daughters, say, are you really his daughter?"

"Well, it's complicated"

Skulker raised his hand and started to fire at Dani with his artificial Ghost rays. Dani jumped into the air and charged at Skulker, dodging his blasts, she managed to get close enough to deliver a blow to his metal face. Skulker quickly recovering pressed a button on one of his hands, and an electricity field started to generate around him, when Dani tried to deliver another blow, she was deflected and sent flying through the air, crashing down in the street below.

"Like my new Ectoplasmic Generator Field, it converts a small portion of my energy into an electric field,

I was going to test it out on the whelp, but you'll do"

Dani got up from the ground, she never thought of this before, but she is now, if Danny is gone, then no one will be here to protect it from Ghosts, well, she was made from Danny's DNA, she is technically Danny, just with an I. She'll protect this town like her father, or so, no one was going to mess with his, her home.

Dani raised her hands and started to fire her Ghost Rays, they weren't as powerful as Danny's but they could still do damage. All they did was hit Skulker, and be absorbed by the field, and sent back at her with more power, Dani didn't have time to react; they hit her right in the chest, sending her flying back. Dani tried to get up, but Skulker was already standing above her, he grabbed her throat and held her down.

"And now, at last I take my prize, the pelt of a Halfa"

Skulker raised his hand as the ghost's mechanical suit shifted into and Ectoplasmic blade; he raised it above his head, preparing for his victory. Dani closed her eyes, but instead heard a familiar sound, Dani looked to see Skulker getting blasted in the back by Valire.

"Hey, Skulker, you want her, you have to go through me first" said Valire.

"Ah The Red Huntress, looks like today is my lucky day I'll get you and the Halfa"

"Don't bet on it Skulker"

Skulker turned to see Sam, Jazz and Tucker standing behind him, with Fenton Faomers In hand. Skulker spotted the GAV coming closer behind them; it looks like all of Danny's human allies were here.

"Danny may be gone, but as long as we are here, we won't let you hurt anybody, same goes for all ghosts" said Sam.

"Very well, if you all want to die today…"

Skulker raised both his hands and they started to shift, they looked like blasters, like something you would see in sci-fi, they began to charge up and glow green, Skulker looked at them all and aimed them at the group.

"…Let the slaughter begin"

One one side, Skulker, the most feared hunter in all The Ghost Zone, one the other you have the combined efforts of Sam Manson, Tucker Foley, Valire Grey, Jazz, Jack, Maddie and Dani Fenton, who is deadliest, OK, just kidding but yeah next chapter, and maybe you know who might join in, suspense killing you yet, after all I still have to get to the whole "Did you really believe what happened to you was an accident", stay tuned because I post the next chapter tomorrow
