Mina: I do not own Danny Phantom.
The ghosts crept toward them and then Skulker shot a blast from one of his guns. The group jumped out of the way of the blast causing them to separate. Not only did they leap out of the way of the blast but they went on the offensive. Valerie hopped on her glider and headed toward Ember. Dash had ended up near Johnny when he had avoided the blast and Paulina was standing in front of Kitty. Danny was near Skulker and Maddie and Cana were in front of Technus.
Valerie flew at Ember on her glider and shot at her with her bazooka. Ember easily dodged and strummed a chord on her guitar. Pink waves were emitted from her guitar and they headed for Valerie. In her attempt to dodge, Valerie fell off of her glider but it caught her before she could hit the ground. She then took out a smaller gun and shot a few blasts at Ember. Ember dodged most of them but the last one grazed her arm. Green ectoplasm came out of the area where she had gotten hit.
"You'll pay for that!" Ember shrieked.
Johnny had just moved behind Ember as he dodged a punch aimed at him by Dash. Dash was wearing the Fenton Gloves which allowed him to actually touch ghosts. He aimed another punch which Johnny dodged. Johnny had gotten off of his motorcycle but now he got back on it.
"Shadow, attack!" Johnny commanded his Shadow.
Shadow suddenly revealed itself to Dash by coming out from under Johnny. Shadow was just a blob with glowing red eyes but that frightened Dash. Still, Dash tried not to show his fear as he aimed a few punches at Shadow. Shadow dove at Dash and knocked him to the ground. He got up with his brows furrowed in anger. He aimed another punch at Shadow and this one hit its mark causing Shadow to go flying and just narrowly miss hitting Kitty.
Kitty swung her purse at Paulina who dodged. Paulina used her pole like she would a cheerleading staff and hit Kitty with it. Kitty growled and tried to hit Paulina with her purse again. Paulina swung the pole which then hit Kitty's purse. Kitty tried to scratch Paulina and ended up scratching her arm.
"Ow! My perfectly flawless skin!" Paulina shouted. "You're going to pay for that!"
Paulina swung her pole with a vengeance and hit Kitty hard. Kitty went flying and ended up hitting the dome. She hit the dome hard and fell down toward the ground right next to Technus who was locked in combat with Maddie and Cana.
"I, Technus, master of all technology will crush you two!" he said.
"Somehow I highly doubt that," Cana said dryly and then swung her pole which hit Technus.
Maddie did a back flip over Technus and hit him with her pole on her way down to the ground. Cana then swung her pole at Technus but he was ready this time and dodged the attack. He then shot a beam at Cana who was able to dodge out of the way. Technus had forgotten about Maddie who at this moment hit him hard in the head with her pole. Technus wavered a little and nearly fell on top of Skulker but however fell and hit the side of the dome.
Skulker locked on to Danny and fired a blast at him. Danny dodged the blast and hit Skulker with his pole. Skulker grunted and then fired a net at Danny. Danny jumped over the net which unfortunately caught his mother. He hit Skulker with his pole and as he did so noticed his mother in the net. Danny ran toward his mother.
"Hold on mom!" he said. "I'll get you out of there!"
Danny started fiddling with the net and ended up freeing her. However, Skulker had shot a missile at Danny which hit him and knocked him into the dome. The orange jumpsuit that he had on was now torn in some places and his face was very dirty. There was also some blood running down the side of his head.
"Danny!" his mother shrieked as she ran over to him.
"I'm okay," Danny said as he tried to stand up but fell back down.
"You most certainly are not!" his mother reprimanded.
Skulker took advantage of this moment to fire a blast at Danny and his mother. Cana, who was fighting Technus, noticed this. She hit Technus with her pole and started running toward Danny and his mother.
"Look out!" she yelled but knew that it was too late for them to dodge. With a burst of speed she ran and then leapt toward them. When she was in front of them and the blast was headed for her she created a green domed shield which protected all of them from the blast.
Before Maddie could question what had happened Cana darted away and resumed her fight with Technus. Maddie and Danny got up just as Ember and Valerie moved in front of them. Their fight had been going back and forth and so far neither of them were winning. Ember had acquired several more cuts and burns from Valerie's weapons and Valerie's suit had been torn in various places. Ember struck another chord on her guitar and sent Valerie flying into the dome. Valerie hit the dome hard because she had been knocked off of her glider which had not caught her this time. She then crumpled to the floor of the dome. Ember stood above her laughing in her triumph.
Dash had continued fighting Shadow but now he wasn't doing as well as he had before. Shadow had done a lot of damage to him. His orange jumpsuit was ripped in many places and he had a few gashes on his face. He threw another punch at Shadow which it dodged and then once more rammed into Dash. Johnny then sped at him from behind on his motorcycle and sent him flying toward another part of the dome. Once Dash hit the dome he crumpled to the ground. Shadow rejoined Johnny and Johnny headed for Kitty's fight.
Paulina had been hitting Kitty a lot more since Kitty had scratched her arm. Kitty had several cuts from where Paulina had hit her with her pole. However, Kitty heard the sound of a motorcycle and she just smiled. Before long Johnny came plowing into Paulina which caused her to hit the dome and crumple in a heap to the ground just like Dash.
"Thanks Johnny!"
"It was no problem babe."
Cana had hit Technus numerous times with her pole but Technus still hadn't given up. Technus had a few gashes on his face and tears in his cloak and all Cana had was a bruise on her shoulder from when she wasn't quick enough to dodge a punch. Cana swung her pole at Technus again and again and each time she hit him a little harder. Technus for whatever reason was having trouble dodging. At last he was sent flying into the dome and then he disappeared.
"Well…that's one down," Cana said as she looked around. The only ones aside from her still standing were Danny and his mother.
Skulker started advancing on Danny and Maddie. Danny had stopped bleeding but was still on the ground. His mother got up and whacked Skulker with her pole. Skulker fired a net at Maddie which she wasn't able to dodge and she once more found herself trapped. He then started heading for Danny with a sinister look on his face. The others began to stir around the dome. Valerie got up and retrieved her glider and Dash and Paulina got up while rubbing their heads. Cana saw what Skulker was about to do. She was fed up with fighting a losing battle with poles and guns. It was hard to beat these harder ghost with just those weapons.
As Skulker's gun charged up two rings appeared around Cana's body. One of the rings headed up and the other down. Her blond hair, blue eyes, green tank top, and blue jeans became black hair, glowing green eyes, and a black and white suit. She then shot a green blast at Skulker which then caused his shot to miss.
"Over here!" Cana shouted.
Skulker turned around and saw Cana floating in the air. He had a puzzled look on his face as did everyone else inside and outside the dome aside from the people who already knew.
"What are you?" Valerie asked in shock.
"Like Vlad I too am a halfa," Cana admitted as everyone else's eyes went wide. "He turned me into a halfa and I figure that I should at least give us a fighting chance. Just be careful! Your weapons can hurt me now as well!"
Cana then flew toward Skulker at her top speed and rammed him into the dome. Ember was behind her and strummed another chord on her guitar. Cana moved aside of the pink waves which caused them to hit Skulker. Cana then fired a green blast at Ember which hit her dead on and caused her to go flying into Johnny. Valerie had gotten out of her stupor and aimed a blast from her bazooka at Kitty. Kitty hit the dome and Danny, who had just freed his mother from Skulker's net, aimed the Fenton Thermos at her. Kitty was then sucked inside.
Johnny had gotten mad at Ember but they turned around and started tofight Cana. Johnny started to send his Shadow after her but Dash grabbed him, twirled him around his head a few times, and then tossed him up in the air. Danny aimed the Fenton Thermos at him and Johnny was sucked in.
"Nice work Dash!" Danny said.
"Your not doing so bad yourself Fenton," Dash replied.
Paulina decided to be brave and she swung her pole at Ember. Ember, who was focused on Cana, got hit hard with the pole in her head. She whipped around and saw Paulina standing there. She lifted her hand up in the air, preparing to strike a chord, when Cana shot another green blast at her. This blast hit her in the back and caused her to go flying toward Danny. Danny nonchalantly held up the Fenton Thermos and sucked her into it. This left all of them and Skulker. Skulker looked around at the group of fighters and just gulped. Cana punched him hard in the face. Maddie swung her pole and hit him over to Dash who punched him hard over towards Danny. Danny did his part and held up the Fenton Thermos one more time and sucked Skulker in. He then put on the lid to cheers from the crowd outside who had come out of their stupor from seeing Cana go ghost.
Very slow clapping could be heard from above them as Plamius moved his hands together and then apart and then together again. "Nice job. I have to admit I wasn't expecting you to win. Then again, I wasn't expecting Cana to reveal her little secret," Plasmius said while staring down at the group in the dome. Cana just glared back up at him. "But, I'm pretty confident that you won't make it past the next round."
The ghost shield was let down and two ghosts entered. The shield was then put back up. Misery and Despair were floating above them.
"Now then, are you ready to meet your doom?" Despair said with an evil laugh and Misery lifted up her hand. Then, in a brilliant flash the crowd outside was gone and replaced with the endless doors of the ghost zone.
Mina: Did I say that this chapter was going to be shorter than the other one? Whoops! My bad! I seriously didn't think that I would write this much for the fighting scenes. I would like to thank Missmeliss4251, Nari-chan SND, Writer's-BlockDP, and squirellesgonewild for reading and reviewing the last chapter. I would also like to thank anyone else who has read but not reviewed this story. Please leave lots of reviews!
