Danny Phantom in: Spectre Rejecters

Part 6

Danny flew across Amity Park as it started to rain heavily. He had sincerely hoped that his parents would accept his ghost side. It had been so long since he'd flown these skies, seemed like forever. He gazed down at the city below; it looked so peaceful down there despite the gloomy weather. "And here's me thinking this City had finally seen the back of you…" A familiar voice spoke. The boy instantly recognised the voice to be Valerie, the girl who wanted 'Danny Phantom' dead. He refused to turn around, not wanting her to see his face and how depressed and angry he looked. Little did he know that she was pointing a huge gun directly at him.

"Oh don't worry; I won't be coming back here for a long time…" Danny began.

"You got that right ghost!" She exclaimed before shooting him out of the sky and into a nearby trash can. He slowly climbed up and stared angrily at Valerie. His muscles were aching due to the long flight from Wisconsin, and he felt miserable because of his parents. He was clearly in no mood to fight.

"Please leave me alone, I don't want to have to hurt you…" He growled.

"We'll just see who gets hurt!" the half ghost was really hoping she wouldn't say this. His hands began to glow a luminous green, before he sent a strong blast directly at the hunter. Quickly dodging it, she pressed a button on what looked like a flying surfboard, and a huge laser was revealed, which shot a harmful beam at Danny. Just as it was about to hit him, Vlad barged into him, knocking both of them out of the way. He had recognised the weapon, and knew how powerful it was – too powerful.

"Vlad? What are you doing here?" He questioned, but Vlad didn't answer, he simply sent one weak yet accurate ghost ray at Valerie's weapon which sent her flying into a pile of old newspapers, and reduced the device to a pile of scrap metal. The older ghost, unlike Danny, really didn't give a damn if the girl was hurt.

"Come Daniel, before she gets up again." Vlad ordered, flying into the sky followed by Danny; who didn't look back.

They were soon past the boundaries of Amity Park and were above a forest. The two half ghosts flew side by side across the night sky. Vlad turned his head slightly and looked at the younger half ghost, and saw upon his face an expression he had never seen before. It was a mix between sadness, anger and tiredness. The older man tried to cheer the boy up. "I can't believe your mother could be so shallow…" He began, "After seeing her tonight, I don't know what I ever saw in her…"

"I thought she would understand more, and I was wrong. I also thought Jazz would have opened her mouth too, then again, she's only really cared since she found out I was half ghost. I'm not a human or a ghost, and everyone seems to want either one or the other." He groaned.

"That's not true…"

"And what surprises me most is that my idiotic Father didn't seem to want anything at all to do with me. My family totally sucks." Vlad was extremely shocked to hear this, but it didn't satisfy him as much as he would have imagined. Something about seeing the young boy so depressed made this the furthest thing from enjoyable. In all the time that he'd been Danny's arch enemy, he had never once thought about how the boy might feel inside; how broken he must be.s
