Goodbye to You
I don't own anything.
Chapter 6: The right way for you to die.
"Glad to see you could make it Fenton," Valerie stated as she looked at Danny and his three friends. Danny looked towards Tucker and Sam and said, "You two. Get behind something, this is going to get intense." "Danny, come on. I think you could us our help," Tucker began. "That's a great idea. You can help by being my target practice," Valerie remarked as she aimed her grenade launcher at him. "On the other hand, I really think you're better at this Danny," Tucker said as he quickly got himself behind a tree. "Danny-" Sam began, but was cut off as Danny stated, "You go too Sam. I can't afford having you or anyone else get hurt." Sam then shook her head quickly and also took cover where Tucker was.
"Too bad," Valerie began," I really could have had more fun with your friends around." "Stop it Valerie. You aren't like this!" Danny yelled. Valerie laughed at hearing him and said, "Come on Danny. We have to at least laugh at this. Our rivalry is soon to come to a close." "We better get it over with then. You came here to take me on, not to attack my friends," Danny replied, his hands now clutched into fists. "I see that someone is ready," Valerie said at seeing Danny's anger," so, just turn into your ghost self and let's get this underway." "No," Danny then shot back. "What do you mean by no?" Valerie asked. "You came to fight Danny Fenton, right? Then you're going to have to fight him," Danny commented.
"Are you crazy! Just go ghost!" Tucker yelled from his barricade. "Danny, just do it," Sam yelled, "you have to fight her in your strongest form." "They're right, Fenton," Valerie said," in your human form, you are just weak and pathetic." "I may lack the boundaries that push my ghost self to its limits, but I will still remain in my human form." "Just transform," Valerie shot at him. "I wouldn't. I still think that there is some good left in you. I am not going to harm you in my ghost form. Just be satisfied you get the chance to do battle with the person you hate." "Transform now!" Valerie yelled as she fired off an Ecto grenade from her launcher. It passed over Danny's head and landed a few inches to the side of his friends' hiding place. He could her them cry out in surprise as the grenade let out a small explosion. "Leave them alone!" Danny yelled as he ran up the slight incline towards Valerie. He shot his fist forward to deliver a punch, but Valerie leapt over him at the last second. Danny turned around then and got a full force kick right in the side of the head. As he dropped to the ground, Valerie looked down at him and shook her head in disappointment.
"I respect your courage," Valerie began," but I came here to fight the ghost. Become him this instant." "Valerie, just hear me out. I have to make it clear to you. I never meant to ruin your life. Those were just accidents and I would never do things like that. I intend to not injure you any further through combat," Danny said as he stood up from where he had fallen. He then turned to Valerie, his face now having a bruise from where she got him, and he the yelled, "I may or may not fall in this battle, but I intend to make sure you can see the truth!" "You realize that my weaponry can kill you," Valerie began," but, it cane do some damage to humans. You better transform or you better get your speech ready for your friends' funerals." She then pointed her launcher to where Sam and Tucker where. "I didn't want it to come to this. But, if we have to fight as ghost against human, then let it be." Danny then yelled out, "Going ghost!" His body then had a ring circulate around him. The ring then separated into two other rings; with one going up and the other going down. Danny's clothes then became a black and white jumpsuit, his hair turned snow white, and finally, his eyes became their distinctive green color.
As Valerie, Sam, and Tucker watched Danny transform, no one knew that a four person was watching this battle unfold. Via a remote camera installed in Valerie's visor, Vlad was monitoring the fight at hand. "This is the way the young Fenton should die," he said as he leaned back in his easy chair," a fair fight, not some cowardly attack from seemingly no where." 'But. You did want him to die either way,' his mind inquired. "I know, but watching these two enemies clash in a ferocious battle is far more entertaining," Vlad answered. 'Whatever suits you,' his thoughts answered. Vlad then reached to the table next to him and grasped the glass of wine that rested on it. He raised it high and said," Here's to you, Fenton. May you find peace in your death."
"This is what I've been waiting for," Valerie said as she watched as Danny turned full ghost. "I never wanted to go ghost," Danny began," but I only did it so you would lay off my friends." "Whatever. I don't care if I kill them, I just want you dead," Valerie said. "Don't do this, Valerie. I want to end this fight more then you, but not this way." "I don't need any suggestions," Valerie shot back, but here's one for you; don't stand right in front of someone who has a weapon on you!" She then aimed her Ecto grenade launcher at him and fired off a round. Danny quickly sank into the ground as the grenade shot right over where he was and exploded a few feet away.
"Show yourself, you coward!" Valerie yelled as she looked around the area. As she turned to check out another spot, Danny shot up from the ground behind her. He then wrapped his arms around her, pinning her arms to her sides and causing her to drop her weapon. "Valerie! Just her me out," Danny said as he held on to her. "No," she yelled as she struggled against his grip, "I am not going to listen to the guy who ruined everything for me." Danny moved around due to Valerie's struggling and then said," I didn't mean to do those things!" Danny shot back. "Oh yeah," Valerie stated," the dorky kid with ghost powers doesn't want to destroy the popular kids' lives." "Those were accidents! I never do things like that! Just believe me!" Danny yelled. "It'll be a cold day in hell before I do that!" Valerie yelled. She then brought her head back, hitting Danny hard in the face. He released his grip on her from disorientation caused by the attack. She then back flipped and retrieved her weapon. Just as Danny recovered from the blow, he quickly jumped to the side to avoid another projectile fired by Valerie. She continued to fire rounds, all with Danny having to quickly run from them. Just then, Valerie heard her weapon click, signaling that see had run out of ammo. "Maybe now I can finally talk some sense to you," Danny said. " And I'll knock some into you!" Valerie yelled as she threw three bladed throwing disks towards Danny as she reached for some grenade rounds on her back. Danny slid under the weapons and then said, "Sorry, Val." Hen then raised his hand and shot out a green energy blast at her. She was hit full force in the stomach, her weapon dropping to the ground and the rest of her getting shot into a bush.
Danny began to walk towards where Valerie had fallen and shouted," Sorry Valerie, but I had to get you to listen to me somehow! We can settle our differences peacefully, not fighting!" Then, a streak of grey then quickly shot from the ground and hovered over him. He looked up to see Valerie on her jetboard with an anti-ghost assault rifle in her arms. "I told you. I don't want to talk. I want to kill you!" Danny quickly flew straight back as Valerie fired some Ecto beams from her weapon. She gave chase, continuing to fire off more energy beams. Danny continued to bob and weave, trying to get her off his tail. But, she still had him in her sites. She then looked down at a screen on her jetboard and saw two crosshairs line up, confirming a lock. "I hope you like this little trick," as two large, pink energy beams fired from underneath her board and struck Danny head on. He cried out in pain and fell on his back onto a park bench, shattering the item completely.
"Are you going to at least but up a fight or not?" Valerie asked as she looked down at Danny. Danny got to his knees and slowly said, "I…cant'….harm you." "Come on, this isn't going to be a battle if you don't try your hardest," Valerie stated. "This isn't a fight I want to carry on," Danny said as stood up, "I want it to end, but not with one of us dying." "This is just like you. You're weak in real life and your weak as a ghost. Show some power and fight me," Valerie shot back as she aimed her rifle at him. "It doesn't have to go down like this," Danny replied. "Oh, but it has too. Goodbye," she said as she fired off an Ecto beam from her rifle. Danny put up his right arm in a futile move to block it, but something odd happened. His hand was encased in green ghost energy. Then, a blade of the energy shot from his clenched fist and took a solid form. The beam hit the sword and bounced harmlessly away from Danny. "What?" Valerie asked as saw what had happened. "I never know I could do this," Danny stated as he stared at his newfound weapon. "Looks like you don't know how to us that," Valerie stated. "Maybe, maybe not," Danny began," but it looks like I can end this finally."
"What is he talking about?" Tucker asked Sam as the two were taking cover behind some trees. "I don't know," she replied. "Do you think he's going to-" Tucker began, but was quickly cut off by Sam, who replied, "No. Danny said he would never resort to that kind of fighting to win this." "Just suppose," Tucker stated. "I know Danny and he would never resort to those methods," Sam shot at him. "All right. Its like you and Danny have some sort of connection," Tucker replied as he turned back to watching the two fighters." 'You could say that,' Sam thought to herself,' I hope Danny and me finally get to talk about how we feel for each other. Maybe then my feelings for him, whether they be true or not, can be released.' She turned back to the fight and quietly said to herself, "Good luck Danny."
"If that's what you state," Valerie said, replying to Danny's last statement," then we should put it to the test!" She then quickly shot straight at Danny via her jetboard's, whose engines were screaming due to the incredible thrust. Danny, his energy blade still armed, was now flying straight ahead towards Valerie. Valerie brought up her energy rifle and took aim at the ghost boy who was coming right at her. Just then, she was taken off guard as Danny suddenly dropped under her. She then watched as the tip of his sword came up from the top of her jetboard and began to cut it right down the middle. She quickly jumped off as the two separate pieces split apart and exploded as they crashed to the ground. Valerie then spun around to get Danny with her weapon, but he had suddenly appeared in front of him. In a quick slash movement, he cut the barrel off of the rifle. Valerie dropped the rifle as she reached for the energy pistol that rested in a side holster, but then Danny raided his hand, palm up, in front of her. "We will talk later," Danny stated. A huge force of ghost energy then shot right into Valerie and sent her flying right into a tree a few feet away. She hit her head right on the back of the tree and her body slumped unconscious against it.
"That was fun," Danny said to himself as Tucker and Sam hurried over to his position. "Danny, you rock!" Tucker yelled as he held his hand high. Danny raised his, but it was the one with the sword still activated on it. "Hey, watch it! That's my good arm," Tucker said as he quickly lowered his hand. "Sorry, I just don't know how to turn this thing off yet," Danny stated. "Hey, Danny," Sam began," you did a good job." "Couldn't have done without any of you watching my back." 'I have to talk to him,' Sam thought. She then said," Danny-," but was cut off as Tucker said , "Hey, where's Valerie?" "By that tree," Danny said as the three of them looked to where Danny said Valerie was. But, there was no trace of Valerie at the tree. "That's never a good sign," Danny stated. "You're right on that," Valerie's voice said from behind them. They turned around to see Valerie behind them. But now, she had Sam in a headlock with one arm and the other holding on a knife.
Valerie is using some new tactics. Will this fight ever end? Find out in Chapter 7!
