Hey, I'm back with the next chapter! This is probably half way through, because after this, something ELSE is going to happen… some might ask, what about so and so? You forgot that you wrote that in your story. Well, no I didn't forget anything. OK, so this is the near end chapter. I think there may be four or five more chapters, I'm not sure. Anyway, I think I'll focus on the current chapter now, so here it is.

A Journey's End… For Now

Chapter Seven

Inexperienced Fregher vs. Crazed Up Fruit loop

Vlad looked at the cage of people that sat in his new secret lab. In sat all the people who had suspiciously disappeared in the past day and a half. They fought over the last piece of cheese, and then went to sit in corners and against the bars.

Vlad walked away from the cage to a desk. On it sat a pile of papers, some smiley face stickers that a charity was selling, and some pencils. Vlad picked up the papers and scanned them. He ticked off a few things and then put the paper down, a circle drawn around 10 words – Kidnap the rest and convince that I am their father.

"Left," Lea watched as Fiona moved a frying pan left. "Right,"

"OK, so what have I learnt?" asked Fiona as she carefully set the pan down.

"You have learnt the basic telekinesis and you are getting really good at it, you have learnt to balance, how to lift yourself, how to talk to nature, how to control some of nature, how to turn yourself invisible, and how to dodge attacks." Lea listed off.

"Then you must teach me how to fly, you promised!" Fiona told her.

"We have half a day left, and you are to fight the cause of all this drama tomorrow, so I shall just make you practice some more, and then I will teach you how to fly in 2 hours." Lea said.

"But," Fiona objected. "My muscles hurt, I need a break. Why can't YOU fight the cause?"

"Because I am retiring." Lea told her.

"Fregher's can retire?" Fiona asked.

"Yes they can," Lea informed her. "And I've been a Fregher for way too long – I can't do the things most people can."

"Well, I guess I'm the town's only hope," Fiona concluded. "Let's get training."

"Danny, pass the sugar." KGB said.

Li'Kirst-Fregher teleported into the room at that exact moment with a bag in her hands. "I figured out my name." she said as she passed KGB sugar, Danny a pickle, Valerie maple syrup and kept the cheese for herself.

"How?" asked Valerie. "And what is it?"

"Well," Kirst thought back to when she stormed into the room Lea was in. "This lady called me Kirst."

"Awesome!" Danny said. "I don't like pickles."

"Can I have a break Lea?" Fiona asked.

"You only had a break 10 minutes ago." Lea pointed out.

"Yeah," Fiona sighed. "But my muscles HURT!"

Lea sighed and dismissed the girl. She had to think of a way to keep Kirstyn, Danny, Kelly and Valerie busy while Fiona fought Vlad – they wouldn't help too much. She just had to get them away, but they had to be able to see what was happening. If she caged them up they could probably escape, but if she stood next to them and kept them invisible and quiet, the plan might just work.

Fiona collapsed in a chair and an apple and cinnamon muffin appeared in her hand. Lea hid a smile – Fiona was getting used to it and kinda enjoying it so far, hopefully she would still want to be a Fregher when this was all over.

It was up to Fiona to save everyone's lives. She was the only one who could do such a thing. Lea's powers couldn't be used in a fight anymore, because she was in the middle of retiring. Fregher's and Freghe's chose when they wanted to retire, and Lea had chosen now. She wanted to live a normal life and she would in two weeks – her powers would be completely gone.

But, thought Lea, if I want to be normal, I will have to get rid of Freddy my talking TV.

Lea had faith in Fiona, and believed that she could beat this crazy fruit loop. Vlad was able to beat Danny, Kelly and Kirstyn but Lea would be guiding Fiona through it and lending Fiona her strength. Before she decided to retire, she couldn't do that – she had to keep all of her strength for herself. It was different for mages though.

Once we get this old man out of the spotlight, we must make sure to get their mages too; they are doing harmful things, thought Lea.

"You ready to start again?" Lea asked.

"I guess," Fiona said. "When do I have to fight this…?"

"Half ghost, half human." Lea told her.

"Yeah, well, when do I have to fight him? Or her?" Fiona asked.

"Well, we shall go over everything one more time, and then you can have some rest. We will be waking at 6:10am tomorrow morning so we can teleport to Wisconsin by 7:00am. You shall fight the enemy when we get there because Kirst, Danny, Kelly and Valerie have until 4:00pm to live. We want to make sure that V… he is defeated before they die." Lea explained.

"Wisconsin?" asked Fiona.

"That is where we have to go and where we have located him to." Lea said.

"OK," sighed Fiona.

"And you must make sure you tell NO ONE what you are, at least not yet. OK, let's start."

"Rise and shine!" Lea said cheerily. "It's almost breakfast time – get dressed!"

Fiona moaned and rolled over so she was facing Lea. She sighed and pushed the covers off of her body. Before she got up, she used her telekinesis to open the cupboard door and pull out a blue t-shirt, some wide legged jeans, a grey jacket, white and blue shoes and white scarf.

"It's FREEZING!" shivered Fiona.

"I know," Lea said. "And it will be colder in Wisconsin, good choice."

Lea decided to give the girl a bit of privacy and walked out of the room. She decided to go downstairs to make breakfast without using any of her powers – after all, she'd have to get used to it.

Fiona had a quick but warm shower and got dressed in her clothes. She noticed that the tips of her hair had turned blue and gasped. She ran down the stairs as fast as she could and zoomed into the kitchen where Lea was cooking waffles. "LEA!" screamed Fiona. "MY HAIR! WHAT HAPPENED TO MY HAIR? THE TIPS ARE BLUE!"

"And so they are," Lea commented. "Don't worry about it, it just means that you are starting to accept your Fregher side and the tips will be permanently blue. You're lucky they didn't turn grey!"

"I guess." Sighed Fiona.

"Cheer up," Lea told her. "They're cool."

"Where are yours?" Fiona asked, curiosity taking over.

"I have a different mark," Lea informed her. "Look at my eyes," she told Fiona. "They are green and white, and they move. Only if you look close enough can you tell."

"Wow." Sighed Fiona.

"Here you go." Lea piled some waffles and maple syrup onto Fiona's plate. "Enjoy."

"Thanks." Fiona took the plate and sat down at the small table.

Due to the mess that had occurred a few days before, Lea and Fiona had decided to stay in a different hotel. This one wasn't haunted and it was half as good as the first one that they had stayed in. Too bad Kirstyn got all angry and destroyed most of it. She hadn't come back to Lea since, and Lea thought it was because only Li'Kirst-Fregher knew Lea, not Kirstyn Fenton. When her mind was erased, Li'Kirst-Fregher's mind wasn't FULLY erased so she still had a little knowledge.

When the two had finished eating their breakfast, Lea cleaned up while Fiona got a first aid kit. When done this, Fiona held Lea's hand tightly and Lea teleported them to a small room. Fiona didn't recognise it, but she recognised the four people sitting down, talking over a cup of tea or coffee.

"Shhh," whispered Lea. "We are invisible."

"Oh," sighed Fiona. "Why?"

"I'll tell you later."

Lea walked forwards and held her palms together. She looked at the four and said something quietly. After the words escaped her lips Li'Kirst-Fregher, Danny Phantom, Kelly-Go-Boom and Valerie (the ghost hunter) were pulled over to Fiona and Lea, mouths shut tightly.

There was a flash of light and they found themselves in Vlad Masters' secret lab. A cage of the people who had disappeared sat in one corner, while the old man sat in another, looking at paper.

"Go for it." Whispered Lea. "And good luck, I believe in you."

Fiona smiled and nodded, letting go of Lea's hand. She turned visible automatically and walked up behind Vlad Masters. She was so quiet that he didn't even hear her. She pointed to him and Lea nodded her head, remembering that Fregher's and Freghe's could see each other when invisible.

"Hey," Lea whispered to the four people beside her. "That's Fiona, she is a Fregher, and she is going to help you. She is going to fight this man, and she has to do it alone, so be quiet."

Fiona took a step back and her eyes flashed grey. Vlad's desk rattled and fell over, making him jump back so he wouldn't get hurt. When he knocked into something, he screamed and turned around to see a nearly thirteen year old girl.

"Hello," he said. "Didn't see you there. How did you get in?"

"Easily," Fiona said. "And I'm going to teach you a lesson."

"You?" laughed Vlad. "A little HUMAN girl, against me? An old man who has learnt his share of defence?"

"Who are you calling little?" Fiona asked fiercely.

"Who do you think?" Vlad asked.

"OK, you are so dead." Fiona said.

"Really?" Vlad asked. "Because I'm sure you'd enjoy being dead more than a man of my age."

Fiona didn't reply to this, she just brought up a blue ring and a grey ring. They travelled either up or down, transforming her from Fiona Barefal to F-B-Fregher. Vlad seemed shocked at first, but it wore out quickly.

"So you're ANOTHER Fregher?" he asked.

"What's it to you?" Fiona asked.

Vlad just smiled and brought up two rings of his own. Soon he was no longer billionaire of the year, Vlad Masters – he was the Wisconsin ghost, or Vlad Plasmius.

"Oh yeah, she said something about a crazy half ghost, half human." Fiona reminded herself.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Vlad demanded.

"I said that you are a crazed up fruit loop half ghost." Fiona said bravely.

"OK, I have HAD it with you, let's fight, one on one, no weapons." He said.

Oh yeah, thought Fiona, telekinesis isn't a weapon really…

"Sure," she agreed.

Vlad took up a fighting position and Fiona jumped into the air. She saw a mouse running through a small mouse hole and called to it. Hey there, she said friendlily, can you please help me defeat this evil man?

The mouse turned around to look at Vlad. Sure, I hate him so much.

The mouse silently crawled up to Vlad and bit him on the leg. Vlad screamed in pain and held one hand over his leg. He looked at the smiling Fiona and shot a ghost ray at her. She wasn't expecting it and got knocked into the wall. Luckily she recovered quickly and flew back into the air.

She saw a fireplace and commanded it to burn one of Vlad's hands. It obeyed and he cried out in pain once more. Fiona then used her telekinesis to lift up the desk and drop it onto Vlad. He saw it coming and turned intangible just in time.

He cloned himself and tried to trick Fiona but she just knocked all of the clones out with random objects that were scattered around the room. Vlad didn't look too weak but Fiona felt stronger than ever. She believed in herself, and that's all that mattered.

She felt the rain falling outside, so she asked it to come to her. Rain flew through open windows and landed in Fiona's palm. Vlad gasped and Fiona threw it at him before he could turn intangible.

Lea was feeling weaker by the moment. She was lending Fiona a lot of her strength and didn't know if she could keep the others invisible for much longer. She glanced over at Fiona before she shut her eyes, barely conscious.

Fiona used her telekinesis a bit more until Vlad looked so weak, that Fiona could handcuff him somewhere and he wouldn't be able to try and get out. Luckily, Fiona had ghost proof handcuffs and pulled them out of her pocket. She put one around Vlad unburnt hand and put the other around the cage.

She then got the key out of his pocket and freed everyone. She heard a few zaps behind her but ignored it. She looked around and saw that Lea was visible. Fiona walked over to her and saw that she was weak. She sighed and helped Lea back to the group of people who were being teleported home by Danny Phantom, Kelly-Go-Boom, and Li'Kirst-Fregher.

They decided to teleport Fiona and Lea back to the hotel last. "Thanks for helping us and saving us, you did really good out there." Kelly commented.

"That's OK, and thanks for the compliment." Fiona said politely.

"Before you go Kirst," said Lea, who was feeling better. "One moment alone?"

"Sure."

The two walked into a separate room and Lea collapsed onto a chair. "I'm retiring." Lea told Kirst.

"What?" Kirst asked.

"I decided this a while ago, and that's that." Lea told her firmly.

"I won't stop you – everyone has to retire sometime." Kirst told her.

"I'm glad you see it my way," Lea chuckled. "Anyway, I need you to teach Fiona, take her into your home and all that."

"But the Fenton house has many secrets, and so do their friends!" Kirst whispered.

"Don't worry about it; anyway, she has a secret now too." Lea informed Kirst.

"Oh," Kirst sighed. "Right. OK then, I'll teach her, and she can stay with us."

"Good."

I am so tired, I stayed up ALL night last night, and I'm going to get some sleep now. Hope ya liked it! Read and Review! OH AND THIS IS NOT THE LAST CHAPTER! Love Kirst…
