Benjamin Masters

Chapter Eleven

The Final Battle

"Bring it on," Vlad smirked.

Ben glared at Vlad. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he knew he'd never be able to beat Vlad, but he tried to ignore the thought.

'Vlad's gotten older, which makes him weaker, I've gotten older, too, but I know I'm way more experienced now than I was last time I tried this. Plus I haven't taken my meds in forever, maybe some of my powers are left, I haven't ruled out all of them.' He thought trying to reassure himself.

"Are you just going to stand there like a glaring deer in headlights, Daniel?" Vlad taunted.

Ben clenched his fists. He glanced around, looking for Sam. She was leaning against the wall to his left, eyes wide watching them both.

He looked at Vlad. Vlad looked over to Sam, and started laughing.

"YOU BASTARD!" Ben yelled.

Then something unexpected happened.

Something close to Danny's old GhostlyWail came forth from Ben's mouth. It was more of a loud, horrible demon yell than his old high echoing scream.

Vlad was taken completely off guard as the vibrations hit him. The yell wasn't as strong as the scream, but it still threw Vlad into the wall. If they had been somewhere else, he would have went through, but these walls were made of thick stone.

Vlad almost slipped to the floor after hitting the wall, but he grabbed the end of the bed. His eyes went a glowing red and he flew at Ben.

Ben wasn't surprised Vlad didn't get knocked out, but the lunge did catch him a bit off guard.

Ben was thrown to the other side of the room, and he landed on the ground, he heard a crack, and then felt something snap as Vlad landed on top of him.

Ben yelled out in horror. Vlad Masters' human face, but with glowing red eyes, and vampire teeth was the last thing he wanted in his face.

He pushed Vlad off of him, and Vlad fell to the left. Ben got up as fast as he could to prevent being pinned underneath Vlad once again.

As he got up he felt a pang of pain from one of his ribs.

'So that's what he broke,' He thought trying to bite back the pain as he turned around.

Vlad laughed at the sight of him. He was slightly hunched over with his right arm wrapped around his ribs, and sweat coming down his face. The boy was glaring at him, but not doing anything.

Yet Vlad didn't look much better. He was leaning against the wall, still not able to stand, sweat was going down his face also, and he had a look of craziness on his face as he laughed.

Ben started to run towards Vlad but stopped in mid-step.

A look of fear and despair covered Ben's face as Vlad changed into his ghost form.

'Damn it.' He thought as he watched helplessly as Vlad lifted his hand and shot an extremely large amount of ectoplasm in his direction.

Ben crossed his arms across his chest, trying to protect himself, even though he knew it would do no good.

"Danny!" Sam screamed as he flew across the room to yet another wall.

Stacy and Mrs. Masters gasped as Danny knocked his head against the wall and landed on the floor. They had stepped into the front room right when the fight had started, they were able to do nothing, for the door was closed, so they had been standing watching the fight through the glass for the short time it had been going on.

Sam turned her head and sobbed, she couldn't look in Danny's direction.

Vlad started laughing.

"And here I was about to tell you something important, Daniel, what a pity." He said.

"I might as well tell you." Vlad said, he liked hearing himself talk.

"On that day, in the lab. I already had your mother's engagement ring. I was planning to force her to put it on. It had a mind control device, not very strong, but enough to get her to at least like me. I know it seems dirty, but I had become desperate. But then your idiot father helped me with my plan. She was so infuriated with your father, it didn't take much to get her to put on the ring. Then as she started to "love" me more and more, I made another ring... Her wedding ring. It was much stronger than the first. I could get her to do anything. Now she loves me dearly, and we've been happily married for quite a long time now!" Vlad said starting to laugh he hadn't even looked at Danny the entire time, he kept looking towards Sam or at the ceiling.

Stacy looked at Maddie in the other room. She had never seen anyone as mad as the woman at that moment, not even Ben, but now she realized where he had gotten his temper from.

Maddie looked down at her finger, at the two rings. She ripped both of them off of her hand, and threw them to the ground, then stomped on them.

Stacy expected something weird to happen, like when people wake up from mind control in the movies, but Mrs. Masters didn't seem to change much at all. Stacy did notice however, that the woman was glaring through the glass at Vlad Masters with as much hatred possible.

"You dirty Son-of-a-bitch." Sam spat, still turned away looking at the floor.

After this outburst, Vlad threw back his head, and laughed towards the heavens.

Then, amazingly, Ben reawakened.

The first thing he saw was Vlad. Vlad had his eyes closed and his head thrown back into a horrible echoing laugh.

Ben had to think of something to do. As he thought he looked down at his chest, and saw something unexpected.

There was a ball of red ghost energy hovering above his folded arms. As he unfolded his arms, the ball split in half, one half for each hand.

He stood with newfound reassurance.

He made the ball in his left hand into a large shield, just in case, and got ready with his right.

"Hey, Vlad?" Ben said with a smirk on his face, bouncing the remaining energy ball up and down in his hand.

Vlad abruptly stopped laughing and looked towards him.

As soon as Vlad's face turned, Ben shot all the power in his right hand at him with as much force as possible.

The energy hit Vlad straight in the face.

Ben, Sam, Maddie, and Stacy watched as Vlad's face exploded. The flesh was completely ripped off revealing muscle and even skull in some places. Pieces of gore were flung across the floor around him, some landed on his clothes.

He fell down to his knees. He changed back into his human form, Ben saw that his face was horribly disfigured. It was still there, but it was covered in 3rd degree burns and his facial hair, some bits of skin, and his eyes were not there. Right after his transformation, he fell to the floor on what was left of his face.

Ben looked in disgust at the body, then looked to Sam.

She was sobbing, her face and shirt soaked with tears, but for what exact reason, Ben did not know.

He walked over to her, not sure how she would react to him. She just stood, tears still running down her face.

He wrapped her shivering body up in a hug.

"Danny," she whispered, clenching his shirt and burying her face into his chest.

He put one hand on her head and hugged her tighter, bending down slightly and putting his chin on her head.

"Danny, I didn't think you would come for me. I was so worried." Sam cried.

"I'll never leave you again, Sam." Ben whispered, a single tear running down his face.

He continued holding her for a few more minutes before she stopped crying. She let go of Danny's shirt and wrapped her arms around his back.

They stood in the same stance for a few more minutes, and by then Stacy had figured out a way to open the door, and she and Maddie walked in.

Sam let go of Danny, and Maddie hugged him beginning to cry.

"I'm so-" She started.

"It's no problem, Mom." Danny said hugging her back.

While this was going on, Stacy checked to make sure Sam was fine, and didn't stop asking her questions about her well-being until Sam threatened to hit her.

By then Maddie had released Ben and he looked towards Vlad's body. It hadn't moved since it fell.

"I'm going to need therapy after this," He muttered walking over to it.

"Is he dead?" Maddie, Sam, and Stacy asked at the same time.

Danny pulled up the body's head by the hair. The shock of seeing the face up close almost made him hurl.

"I seriously doubt it." He said dropping the head.

"Make sure, Danny." Maddie told him.

He felt for a pulse at his wrist and neck, and couldn't find one.

"He's dead. Where his spirit is, I don't know, but the body's gone." Danny said standing up.

"What's going to happen to Danny?" Sam asked worried.

"It was a lab accident. It wasn't Danny's fault." Maddie answered.

"Good old, Mrs... uhh... Maddie." Stacy said smiling, stopping herself before she said Masters.

"I'm going to go give Jack a call." Maddie said walking out of the room and up the stairs.

Danny, Sam, and Stacy stood looking at each other and the body for a few minutes, then Stacy broke the silence.

"So uhh... It's Danny now I guess, huh?" Stacy guessed.

Danny nodded.

"That's what I thought. That's going to take a bit to get used to." Stacy said smiling before she too, left the room and went upstairs.

Then Sam and Danny were once again left in an awkward silence.

"So was it true?" Sam asked Danny.

"Was what true, Sam?" He asked, looking at her confused.

"Do you love me?" Sam asked.

Danny grabbed Sam's chin and pulled her face up. Then he looked her straight in the eye.

"I love you more than anything in the entire universe, Sam." He said.

She seemed content with his answer, because she smiled.

Then she grabbed his shoulders to pull herself up, and kissed him on the lips.

It only lasted two seconds at most, but the meaning behind it was clear.

Danny looked at her with a mix of confusion and adoration.

She smiled and grabbed his hand.

Then they went up the stairs together, to join the others, each wondering what was to happen next.

The End

This chapter was SO fun to write, I really enjoyed it, though I don't know if you did or not.

I was going to try to have it up by last Friday, but I wanted it to be extra good, so I took a bit longer.

I suck at ending stories. I hope I ended this one well. I will truly miss writing this story and getting your reviews now that it is over.

Thanks SO MUCH to my reviewers. Without your encouragement, I wouldn't have gotten nearly this far on the story.

Many Thanks To:

(The list was in order by number of reveiws, though I'm pretty sure I screwed up more than once. If you reviewed under more than one name, then you're on the list more than one time. And if I misspelled your name I am SO VERY sorry.)

Thanks to ALL of my readers. I love you all, I really do!

And I know it's a pain for me to ask, but I think it would be SO freaking awesome if everyone who reads this chapter reviewed on it. I know a bunch of people are reading the story, and I would feel so freaking loved if I got a bunch of reviews on it.

Anyways

Bye, Guys. Love you. Thank you for reading, and sticking with me through it all!
