Goodbye to You
I don't own anything.
Chapter 15: A Turn for the Worst
Danny raised up his blade in defense of the duel ones that Vlad was wielding. He expected nothing less of Vlad. This madman was, by far, the most powerful ghost and human that Danny had ever encountered. He had encountered all of Vlad's amazing abilities. Danny had all ready guessed that Vlad would be at the top of his game now that this was to be their final battle. Danny really didn't give a care for the dangers, though. Vlad was responsible for the deaths of three people, and now he would pay.
"Increasing your arsenals doesn't make you stronger," Danny stated.
"Come now. I have two blades and you have one. And in my book, those odds are very uneven," Vlad replied as he crossed his blades in front of him.
"That never stopped me before," Danny said.
"Oh well," Vlad said," its your decision. Your foolishness shall be your downfall. I hope you have a good time in the other life!"
Vlad then charged at Danny and went in for an overhead swing. Danny blocked the swing with his weapon and then had to block again to intercept his other blade's swing across the middle. Vlad then went in for a double stab with his two blades. Danny ducked under then only to get tripped by a low kick by Vlad. Vlad then brought the point of his blade down on Danny in a stab motion. Danny rolled away from the attack and quickly popped back up. Vlad, however, was expecting him. He sliced his left blade at Danny, delivering a gash right across Danny's chest. Danny cried out as his wound, while only slight, slowly began to leak the combination of green and red.
"Please, I didn't even give you the full assault and you still act like you were shot," Vlad said as he looked upon Danny.
"I've been through worst," Danny sated.
"Don't worry. I assure you this is going to get even more painful by the second," Vlad said.
"You better show me then," Danny stated.
Vlad then charged at Danny. Danny fired off a few Ecto shots at him, but Vlad swatted them away with his blades. Vlad then raised his blades then as he approached Danny. He then brought both of them down upon Danny, who in turn brought his own blade up. The red blades clashed as they hit the green blade and sent out small eruptions of Ectoplasmic energy into the air. The two combatants pushed against each other's force in an effort to break the others might.
"Come now, Danny," Vlad said as his blades started to push Danny's down, "I expected you to get better after our last encounter."
"Don't worry. I can ensure you that I have gotten better," Danny said. Just then, his left hand then glowed with green energy. He brought it up and shot an energy beam right into Vlad's stomach. He was forced backwards by the blast as Danny leapt into the air. He raised his sword high over his head for an overhead strike. Vlad looked up at this and brought his own blades together for a block. But, just as Danny was about to bring his blade down, it glowed then with a bright green light. As the blades of the two combatants then made contact, a flash of green and red light enshrouded them and disoriented their vision. When the light ended, Vlad looked down to his blades then shatter like glass and the shards disappear.
"What was that?" Vlad asked.
"A little idea I had," Danny said as he watched his own weapon shatter," I believed our blades couldn't handle high bursts of energy. So, I just knock in a high amount of power and next thing you know…we're back to fist fighting."
"Even so, that attack must have drained your energy by a considerable amount. You must be weak by this point," Vlad said.
"I have enough strength to beat you," Danny said.
"Me, yes. But me and a few more of me? I think not," Vlad said. Then, two masses of red energy broke away from him. The masses of energy then molded and formed into two other Vlad copies. In sync, they said," This is the part of the fight where you lose."
"Or the other way around," Danny stated.
The middle clone in the ground then ran at Danny and went in for a jump kick. Danny ducked that only to get and elbow in the back from another copy. He then blocked the combo sent on from another one. He moved quickly to the side to then get a kick right across his head. He fell to the ground as one of the Vlads picked him up by the back of his clothing. He was thrown across the ground and then shot himself backwards in order to avoid a heel plant from another Vlad. One of the Vlads then shot out a band or red energy as soon as Danny got back up. It wrapped around his midsection, pinning his arms to his sides. Danny struggled against bonds as then another red energy rope wrapped around his feet and then planted themselves into the ground. Danny was now completely locked in place as the three Vlads then took positions to the top, bottom right, and bottom left of Danny.
"I finally have you right where I want you know, Danny. No way out and my chance to finally become the champion," his clones said in sync. They then brought their hands back as red energy began to glow in them.
"And this feelings only going to last for about a second," Danny then said.
With every last bit of strength in him, he converted the energy into his feet. The Vlads then fired off beams of energy they had been charged right at Danny at that very moment. As soon as the beams were right near him, he shot upward into the air as the beams went off in other directions. While he was in the air, he then readied a green energy charge into his right hand, which was still pointing down due to the bonds.
"Let's me get this right," Danny said.
He fired off the energy ball right at the Vlad in the lower left-hand corner. Danny, luckily, had hit home. Vlad was knocked off his feet as soon as the ball made contact. The other two clones then disappeared along with the red bonds that had been wrapped around Danny. Danny triumphantly smiled at his successful attack and then flew downwards straight Vlad. Vlad had just gotten up when he Danny delivered a powerful right punch to Vlads face. It sent Vlad flying back right into the bleacher wall. The boards flow off in all directions as he disappeared into the newly created hole.
"Do you still want to continue this?" Danny asked.
"You bet I do!" an angry voice yelled from the hole. Out stepped Vlad, who had now suffered a full force thanks to Danny. His face had suffered a real blow thanks to Danny's punch. A trickle of red and green was moving down the corner of his mouth and a gash was now above his left eyes was now also dripping the mixture of human and ghost blood.. "No one hits me twice in the same day and gets away with it."
"Stop complaining and lets finish this," Danny said.
"Very well," Vlad began as he spit out a wad of the blood mixture from his mouth," I guess its now time to chance the rules." He reached behind his cape and produced a surgical needle. He then threw it in an instance, giving Danny little time to react. As soon as the needle made contact with Danny, It then automatically pushed the red substance in it into Danny's body. Danny then felt a sudden surge go through his body as he then changed from his ghost form into his human form.
Danny looked in shock at his body to see it had changed back into human. "I'm going ghost!" he yelled to reactivate it \, but nothing happened. He then grabbed the needle and threw it to the ground and asked, "What did you do, Vlad?"
"This is another toy of mine, Mr. Fenton. The liquid is a little something I wiped up in my spare time. Upon entering your body, it recognizes your ghost DNA and latches on to it. It then freezes the genes and halts you from transforming. So, now, you can't go ghost. But, I can assure you, that was only one part of your last night on Earth. I'm the part that is going to make it worst."
Back at the Fentons house…
The Fenton's ghost mobile pulled up outside the Fentons house. Both Jack and Maddie had looks of disappointment across their faces as they stared out the front windshield. The entire day had been wasted in dealing with legal matters with the collisions and the chase scene. No progress had been made in getting Inviso Bill.
"Bastards," Jack said under his breath," all of them. Don't they know of how important we are to protecting this city?
"I know your mad, Jack. It's just that the police believe that they don't need our help," Maddie replied.
"Shows that they're all Harvard grads," Jack remarked, "we deserve as much credit in our jobs as anyone else's career."
"Ghost hunting is something of a very different matter," Maddie said.
"It's just that the city has to realize our importance. If they don't, they're going to find themselves up to their necks in disaster. Why can't anyone respect us?" Jack asked.
"Jack, your family does. Everyone backs us up on this job. Who cares if the city had problems? We can hunt down this ghost on or own. And in the end, we will show them how much we contribute to them," Maddie stated.
Jack turned to her and said," You're right. I shouldn't let that jeep me down. Help or not, we are going to take this thing down." He then smiled and said, "Thanks."
Maddie smiled also and said," Hey, I can't have you with that attitude if we're going to take this thing down."
"Maybe you should reconsider that," a voice near them said. The two turned to the driver's side window to see Tucker, who wearing a green hoody and a worried look on his face.
"Tucker? What are you doing here so late?" Maddie asked.
"To look for Danny. I know I've been a jerk to him ever since the incident, but now I know what I did was wrong. Its time to end my selflessness and just ask for forgiveness," Tucker sated.
"What are you talking about? And what is this about Danny?" Jack asked, him and Maddie completely confused by his words.
"Danny isn't here," Jazz then said. The Fentons looked out the other window to see Jazz walking down the front steps to them. When she got close to them, they could see her eyes were puffy as through she had been crying for a long time. "I tried to stop him, but how I did it was wrong. I can't believe I tried to hurt my brother. And now, he's gone off to who knows where."
"What are you talking about?" Jack asked.
Tucker and Jazz looked over at each other then. When there gazes meet, it was all they needed to tell them that it was time to tell the Fentons the truth.
"This is about Danny and Inviso Bill," Tucker began.
"Is Danny in trouble? Is he in danger?" Maddie asked.
"No," Jazz began," him and Inviso Bill are close. In fact, you could say they are one in the same. You see…"
Danny's secret is now being told. Can he still be accepted? And, can he fight his way out of Vlad's trap? Find out in Chapter 16!
