Chapter 12

Danny

Danny was in his Ghost Form headed to see Jazz and tell her that their parents thought she was in the closet when all of a sudden a laser blast nearly hit him in the side. "WHOA! Watch it!" Danny yelled then saw a familiar red clad huntress flying around a hoverboard. "It's been a while Ghost Boy," Valerie Gray said. "I'll say, your aim is getting pretty bad Val," Danny responded. Valerie answered his taunt by blasting a few more lasers out of her hoverboard and drawing two ecto-guns. Danny dodged a few lasers and blocked a few more before turning invisible and flying intangibly through a building. Man, no wonder I haven't had to deal with any ghosts, Valerie looks like she's been picking up my slack, Danny thought as he phased through another building.

He flew up into the sky and saw Valerie heading right for him, "I see you Ghost!" Danny barely dodged her attacks and made two copies, "Which one is the real Danny Phantom?" the three Danny's taunted as he and his copies flew off in different directions. Luck was on his side for once, Valerie went after one of the copies, allowing Danny to fly away to the Hotel. On his way his phone rang, it was Jazz. "DANNY HELP!" Jazz screamed. "What's wrong!?" Danny asked, flying faster. "Vlad is working for the Galactic Empire and hired Skul-" Jazz was cut off. "JAZZ!" Danny yelled as he finally reached the Hotel and his Ghost Sense went off. He saw that something had crashed through the front door.

He flew in to see Jof with her lightsaber fighting a tall bald guy in red with a red lightsaber spear thing while Jazz was firing at Vlad who just floated there blocking her ecto-gun shots.

Danny blindsided Vlad with a ghost ray then tried to blast one at the guy in red. He blocked it with his lightsaber spear and sent it right back at Danny. Danny took the laser right in his chest and Jazz yelled, "Danny!" "I'm fine," Danny groaned then saw the guy in red kick Jof away and throw his lightsaber spear at Jazz. "Look out!" Danny yelled and grabbed Jazz down. The lightsaber spear spun in midair back at them and flew right into its owner's hand. "You have power girl, much more than Favrem," the guy in red said, then took out something from his cloak and said, "Thal to Decimation, launch the attack, I will have Favrem and another two shortly." "NO!" Jazz yelled and flung her hands forward, sending the guy in red flying with the Force. "Danny! Jazz! Get out of here!" Jof yelled as she dodged a ghost ray from Vlad.

"Come on!" Danny grabbed Jazz and flew off. He flew away as fast as he could, and looked up into the sky to see a massive white triangle filling the sky. "What is that thing!?" Danny screamed. "The Galactic Empire really is here," Jazz fearfully whispered as they watched a large green laser come from the triangle and destroy a building. People below screamed at the destruction. "Danny, we need to get to Mom and Dad now!" Jazz yelled. Suddenly Vlad appeared right in front of them and grabbed them, "I got you now!" Vlad yelled and ten thousand volts of ghostly electricity tore through their bodies.

Jof

Jof blocked another stab from Thal's lightsaber pike and tried to move in to kick him back only for him to kick her back first. "You've cost me a lot of pain, Favrem. But this makes it all worth it. If you weren't such a coward I never would have found this new addition to the Empire," Thal laughed as he attempted an overhead slash. Jof dodged it and spun around to try to decapitate Thal, only for the assassin to block her lightsaber with the handle of his lightsaber pike. "You didn't think I would have survived this long if my pike wasn't made with cortosis did you?" Thal said and pushed her back. He lunged at her; Jof barely blocked or dodged his attacks as she worried over Jazz. "Once Vlad gets those brats I'll have two new weapons for the Empire, a new assassin like me, and a potential supersoldier genetic template as well. I must thank you, if you weren't such a coward I would have never found them!"

"NO!" Jof yelled as she attempted a strong overhead slash. Thal barely blocked the strike, his eyes widening in surprise at its ferocity. Jof kicked forward, using the Force to strengthen her attack and kicked Thal into the wall. She summoned up the Force to give her speed as she ran out of the Hotel to the sight of Thal's Star Destroyer blasting a building to slag as TIE fighters screamed through the sky. "NO!" Jof yelled again then saw the green skinned man, Vlad Plasmius, flying away carrying Jazz and Danny's unconscious bodies. Jof watched her apprentice disappear in the distance and did the only thing she could think of, she ran away.
