Maddie's Intuition

Ember floated up towards the monster Salazar. The amber eyes were staring into Ember's teal eyes. He swiped Ember to the ground but she phased in the ground. Maddie then came up instead and shocked Salazar as she punched him in the nose.
Blood leaked from it as he howled. Now he was pissed. Using his tail he hit Maddie to the ground that hit into a pillar of the room. The pillar creaked and started to fall…on Danny.
"Shit!" cried Danny who rolled out of the way and looked up at Salazar. With a vampire grin he picked Danny up but was put back down by an ecto blast by Ember.
"Scales off the dipstick!" yelled Ember. Her fists still glowed pink and green. Danny noted mentally to thank her later.
Danny started to crawl into a small alcove where it was impossible to get unless you were as skinny as Danny was. He sighed and put his head on his knees that were brought up to his chest. How the hell can this happen? Why him? Why did all of this happen to him? How could Spiderman, Superman handle all of this. Keeping their loved ones safe while saving everyone else? He was going to need physiology after this he just knew it.
The thought made him think about Jazz again. But it switched to his mother. He knew it was too late for her to get rid of the ghostly energy inside her. It was only a matter of time before the virus to take control her and kill her. There had to be a cure he knew there must be. Danny needed to help out his mom through this. There was still a chance the virus hasn't left enough ectoplasm to make his mom like this forever.
He started to watch the fight noticing that Maddie was somewhat getting better at fighting. She was more accurate with her blasts, her flying was faster and she dodged Salazar's attacks with ease.
Maddie shot blast after blast but it seemed nothing dramatic was happening to the creature. Ember and attacking from the back trying to get Salazar's attention but nothing came.
"I had enough of this child play." He growled and grabbed Maddie by the throat. The attack surprised Maddie as her oxygen was slipping away from her. She could always see dots and blackness filling her eyes. She started to make coaxing noises trying to get a single breath of air.
Maddie could give up like this. She couldn't because Danny was here with her. She had to live for Jazz and Jack and everyone she cared for. Heck Sam and Tucker became family as well since Danny were friends with them forever. Maddie couldn't give up she need to keep going for a little longer.
A green glow started to form around Maddie then her black ribbons started to float and move on their own. Spikes started to erupt from them making them look like barbed wire.
"What the hell?" muttered Danny as he crouched forward to see what his mother was doing. A new power? Possible. Well Danny had his Ghostly Wail, and Vlad had his duplication so why not his mother with her power?
Salazar didn't notice the black ribbons turning into a threat. He was clearly enjoying making Maddie suffocating. Suddenly the ribbons danced around his body and grabbed his hands and feet tying them together. Orange and red tinged blood started to drip as more black ribbons ripped through his back causing unexplainable pain.
Ember was watching this and took a few steps back. She knew the attack as one of the elders of the Ghost Zone used it frequently. Why? Who knows maybe the virus has finally left some ectoplasm in her DNA to let her acquire so much power.
Finally the body Salazar had couldn't hold together and ripped in half with green and red blood soaking everything. Danny's raven black hair had bits of the red and green liquid stuck on it as his china blue eyes went wide at the gory scene laid before him. Maddie was still in that anger trance with her eyes all green leaving no pupil.
The ribbons let go of what was left of the body and turned back into their innocent form. Maddie felt all of her energy being slipped away and the familiar rings of light turned her back to normal. She had noticed her jeans were torn and dirty while her shirt was just dirty.
"What was that?" called Maddie.
"You learned a new power!" Danny replied limping toward the brown haired woman. Ember rushed over and caught him before he fell. He muttered thanks and faced his mother.
"I did?" Maddie couldn't remember what exactly happened. The ribbons that she had were turned into sharp wires and just…destroyed Salazar. She looked over and saw his dead body…well pieces of it. She back up looking away and almost threw up.
"Ya, that is one nasty power Maddie." Whistled Ember shaking her head at the decaying body parts. Danny shuddered. He was not used to the body being like that.
"I killed him…I killed him so…horribly." Maddie whispered. She was suddenly facing Danny's blue eyes.
"Don't worry about it. I had been through this situation too. You had to do this too." He paused and smiled a little. "So what are you going to call your power?"
"I thought you said I had a virus?" Maddie asked quietly.
"Well just for the fun of it mom." Danny replied shrugging.
"I dunno Danny, I just cant really think at the moment."
"How about Dancing Ribbons?" came Ember lugging through some rubble.
"That sounds good I guess Ember" replied Maddie as she looked around. The only door was the one where they came through.
"I guess we are going up." Sighed Maddie as she was about to turn into her ghost form but Danny put a hand on her shoulder.
"I'll do it. You rest I should be okay now." Danny turned into his ghostly alter ego and floated up. He picked up Maddie and the three went up and phased through the ceiling to find an old airplane.
"Let's get out of here." Called Ember. She knew she had to find something else but Salazar didn't have it. It was important that she had to find the item she was looking for. It was one of the reasons she stuck around the dipst- Danny's mother and him.
Maddie nodded and went into the plane. Danny into the passenger seat and Ember sat down too. The violet-eyed woman nearly cheered when the plane worked and it took off in any direction they were facing.
You know that I could end the story here. I could say they made it home to a worry Jazz and Jack. The family would find a cure to Maddie's ghostly form and accept Danny as their own.
But no, it was the fact that the plane suddenly started to go down and crashed making Maddie, Danny, and Ember being thrown in different directions. Not too far though but enough for a certain Saddler chuckle and turn towards a familiar half ghost with a red glow in his eye.
Authors note: I know this is an odd cliffhanger but I'm trying a new writing style. It is about 6 chapters away from completion! Review or just read the story!
