Chapter Seventeen: The Final Sacrifice
Warning: Massive Character Death in this chapter.
"Noooo!" yelled Danny.
Sam fell and hit the ground hard, a pool of blood already forming around her. Danny quickly flew over to her and landed at her side. Sam was still alive but she was fading fast.
"D-Danny it hurts." said Sam, pain in her voice and blood dripping out of her mouth.
"Don't worry Sam, it will be ok, your going to be just fine." said Danny, trying to convince himself as much as trying to convince Sam.
"Danny…I'm dying." said Sam.
"No your not, we can fix this, your too strong to die." said Danny, getting more frantic.
"It's too late for me, but you can still stop Vlad, I know you can." said Sam, her voice getting weaker.
"Sam you can't leave me! I need you!" said Danny.
"Don't worry Danny, I'll always be with you, in your heart." said Sam, here voice barely a whisper.
Finally her body could not take it anymore, the blood loss had been to much. Sam's eyes began to close and her breathing and heart beat slowed.
"Sam? Sam! Don't leave me! Don't leave me!" screamed Danny, but it was too late, Sam was dead.
Danny felt her heart beat stop, he realized she was gone now. Then the mighty Danny Phantom, one of the most powerful beings in this world or the next, began to cry. He cried over the loss of the woman he love, tears ran down his face like rivers. Then suddenly he was seized by a new feeling, a feeling of terrible rage, of rage against the man who had done this.
"Ha-ha! Finally she is dead, now to make sure you don't disobey me ever again." said Vlad.
"You monster." said Danny.
"What was that?" said Vlad.
Danny turned around and his face was pulled into a look of pure rage, his eyes were a solid green. If looks could kill everyone within five hundred miles would have died instantly. Vlad was take aback by this and looked genuinely scared.
"You bastard! You killed her! The woman I loved more then anyone in this world, and you murdered her! Now I'm going to make you pay for that!" yelled Danny.
Then before Vlad could even react Danny flew at him, and delivered a devastating punch to his jaw. Vlad was catapulted across the room and a into the shield. He had no time to recover as Danny zoomed over and began to rain punches down on Vlad.
"This is for my dad!" said Danny, as he punch Vlad in the stomach.
"This is for my mom!" said Danny as he punched Vlad in the chest.
"This is for all the people you've hurt!" said Danny, as he punched Vlad in the stomach again.
"AND THIS IS FOR SAM!" yelled Danny as he punch Vlad in the face.
Vlad was sent flying into the ceiling, then he fell back down onto his broken desk. But Danny was not done with him yet, Danny flew over and began to attack again. Danny used every power he had, including the ghostly wail and ghostly lightning, on Vlad. Vlad was being tossed around like a rag doll. Finally the evil halfa landed next to one of his trophy cases.
"Now to finish you." said Danny.
Vlad looked as the enraged Danny was flying towards him. He looked around for anything that could help him, then he saw a ghost sword laying next to him. He quickly picked it up and pointed it at Danny just as he got close to him. Danny felt a pain in his stomach and looked down to see the sword sticking into him, green ectoplasm already flowing out of him.
Vlad thought he was saved, but he was so wrong. Something unexpected happened, Danny took the sword out of his stomach and plunged it into Vlad's evil heart. The older halfa was shocked by this and turned back to human, and his blood began to spill on the ground. Vlad staggered back with blood dripping out of his mouth. Then he fell over and did not move, and death smiled.
Vlad suddenly found himself in a dark void, and then out of nowhere someone began to laugh.
"Ha ha! So Vlad Masters, we finally meet face to face, I've been waiting for this moment for a long time." said the voice.
"Who are you! Who's there?" said Vlad, suddenly very frightened.
A young man walked out of the shadows, he looked to be about twenty years old with black hair, and glowing yellow eyes. He wore a black cloak, t-shirt, and jeans. What was very strange was that he was carrying a large scythe on his right shoulder.
"Allow me to introduce myself, I am the Grim Reaper." said Grim.
"W-what do you want?" said Vlad.
"I have come to cast your evil soul into the fire pits of Hell." said Grim.
Without so much as another word Grim ripped open a portal to Hell and threw Vlad into it. The evil halfa fell screaming into the pit to get his punishment for his life of evil.With that done he had one more job to do. Back with Danny he was staggering over to where Sam's body lay. He suddenly turned back into a human and the green ectoplasm turned into red blood. Danny collapsed right next to Sam, looking at her face.
"Well Sam, I did it, Vlad's gone now, I bet your happy about that." said Danny as he looked into Sam's lifeless face.
"Sam, I miss you so much, but don't worry, I'll be with you soon." said Danny as he grabbed Sam's cold hand.
Then Danny felt the cold embrace of death creep up on him and his eyes began to close. Danny stopped breathing and his soul exited his body, Danny Phantom was dead. Meanwhile in the power core the timer was getting close to detonation.
Danny suddenly found himself in a room, and standing in it was Grim.
"You did good kid, you defeated Vlad and saved the world." said Grim.
"Who are you?" said Danny.
"Where are my manners, I'm the Grim Reaper, but you can call me Grim." said Grim.
"So I guess this means I'm dead." said Danny.
"Afraid so, but its not all bad, I know of someone on the other side who really wants to see you." said Grim.
"Sam." said Danny, as Grim opened a portal to the Ghost Zone.
"Bingo, now go to her kid, she's waiting for you." said Grim.
Danny nodded his head and then jumped into the portal.
"It's finally over, now to get back to my never ending job." said Grim, as he disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
Back on Earth Jazz and the others had finally managed to get out of the castle. It had been made easier when Tucker pulled the fire alarm and they had hidden in the crowd of ghosts fleeing the building. Jazz and the others had gotten as far from the building as possible.
"Ok, I think we're safe." said Jazz.
"Good, now we have to go back and help Rob and the others." said Ember.
"Uh, actually I'm right here." said Rob, as he appeared with the still knocked out Ali.
"Rob, what the hell are you doing here? Why aren't you with Danny?" said Jazz.
"He told me to get Ali here out of harms way." said Rob, pointing to Ali.
"My god, is she ok?" said Alex as he ran over to her.
"Yeah, she's just knocked out is all." Said Rob.
"Wait, if you're here then Danny and Sam are all alone, we have to go help them!" said Jazz.
Unfortunately as she said this the time bomb on the power core reach zero. It exploded and caused a chain reaction and it exploded in a huge fire ball. The fire ball expanded until the whole castle blew out. Huge pieces of it went flying everywhere and the whole building was destroyed. The shock wave knock our heroes backwards and they landed on the ground.
"Danny, Sam." said Jazz, as she dropped to her knees and cried.
The destruction of the castle was the signal for the Resistance to begin their world wide attack. The ghost army of Vlad was caught off guard by this sudden massive attack, and without their leader they were seized by confusion as to who was in charge. The Resistance was making head way against the forces of Vlad, and the revolution had begun.
It was a start, and it would still be a few years before all of Vlad's forces were mopped up, but the liberation of the Earth was underway. Back with Jazz and the others they grieved the loss of Danny and Sam. then suddenly the communicator on Jazz's belt began to ring.
"Hello?" said Jazz, sniffling a little.
"Commander, the attack on Vlad's forces has begun, you were right they are completely lost without their leader. But we need you back at headquarters right away to led the troops." said the radio operator.
"Ok, we'll be back there soon." said Jazz as she hung up.
"Ok guys, we have to get back to headquarters, the Resistance needs us." said Jazz.
"But what about Danny and Sam?" said Ali, who had finally woken up.
"They would want us to continue on, they both knew this is the most important moment in our history, now lets go." Said Jazz, masking her pain with her business first attitude.
The others began to walk back to their transport, as they left Jazz took one last look at the burning castle and a tear came to her eye.
"Bye Danny, we'll never forget you." said Jazz as she turned to leave.
A Few Years Later…
We return to the Earth in a much happier state then it was before. Most of Vlad's forces have been driven from the Earth and the humans rule once more. Most of the damage done by Vlad and his cronies has been undone and the Earth is back on its way to being healthy once again. The cities are being repaired and the humans have finally united under one government, so that they can face any threat as one. We find ourselves in the newly rebuilt Washington D.C., in front of the new White House. We enter the building and find the President of Earth.
Madam President, we just got word that some more of Vlad's former army has been captured." said Tucker.
"That's good news." said Jazz.
"Soon everything will be back to normal." said Tucker.
"Not everything." Said Jazz, as she looked out side.
Just outside of the white house was a statue to two of Earth's greatest heroes, Danny and Sam. the inscription on the statue read as follows.
Danny Fenton and Sam Manson
They Sacrificed Their Lives so That We Could be Free.
"I know you miss them." said Tucker.
"I never even got to spend any time with Danny before he died, There were so many things I wanted to do, to say, to apologize for." said Jazz.
"Don't worry, I'm sure he forgives you, now how about some Dinner?" said Tucker.
"That sounds great." said Jazz.
They both held hands and walked out of the office, as they walked they passed Maddie Fenton.
"Jazz, where are you going?" said Maddie, who had been freed of the mind control Vlad had put her under just a year ago.
"I'm going out now." said Jazz.
"Oh no you don't, you may be the president of Earth, but you still have to do your work." said Maddie.
"Sigh, some things never change, but I'm glad they haven't" said Jazz.
Meanwhile outside of Paris in some old ruins were two people. They were in a chamber deep under the building with a glowing pedestal in the center.
"I guess its time to put this back." said Ali, as she brought out the Book of First Magic.
"Yeah, its time." said Alex.
Both of them held the book and placed it back on the pedestal. It began to glow and lines of glowing light spread out from it. They went up and up until they reached the ruin Great Hall. The magical energy reached the structure and it began to repair itself, soon the whole building was completely repaired and good as new. The Second Era of Magic had begun.
"Well, I guess that's it." said Ali.
"Yeah, now we have a whole magical community to rebuild, and it isn't going to be easy." said Alex.
"Yeah, but we'll be doing it together." said Ali as she kissed Alex.
Ali and Alex walked out of the chamber hand in hand, they had a lot of work ahead of them. Meanwhile back in America two former fighters were standing in the rebuilt city of New York (AN: Ha! The names back the way it should be, take that Vlad!).
"So Ember, I guess its all over, Vlad's Army is defeated, the Earth is ruled by humanity again, and the world is getting back on its feet, I guess there is nothing left to do." said Rob.
"Yeah, its sort of boring now." said Ember.
"Hmm, I have a idea, why don't we find ourselves a little adventure?" said Rob.
"That sounds good, do you think along the way we could find someone who would like to sign up a band made of a ghost and a half ghost?" said Ember.
"Anything is possible, but there's only way to find out, go and look for it." said Rob.
The two grabbed each others hands and went running off into the city, ready to let fate lead them where it may.
And what of Danny and Sam you may ask? Well no one had seen then since they had died, even in the Ghost Zone they were rarely seen. There were only brief glimpses of two ghosts, a man and a woman, who would fly around laughing and having a good time. To most people it seemed that they wanted to be alone with each other, and considering what they had been through they deserved to have that solitude.
So ends the tale of Daniel Masters, who had been both the doom and salvation of the human race. He may have done many bad things in his life, but his last act, his sacrifice, had made up for it a hundred times over. No one knows if Danny and Sam will return, but anything is possible.

Vlad: Oh butter biscuits! Then the army attacked, and visited a pain like no other pain on Vlad, they maxed out his credit cards.
