Jack Fenton threw his suitcase exhaustedly into his car. He couldn't wait to see his wife, he missed her terribly. Jack sighed he was glad that he could check out of the temporary motel he had seeked refuge in so he didn't fall asleep driving home. Finally he could go home. Jack heard footsteps resonate in the empty parking lot and as a reflex he turned.

"Hello Jack." The unwanted visitor greeted.

"Master's?" Jack spat he was over his shock in a matter of moments, all he knew was that this guy was going down.

"Did you miss me?" Vlad mocked his red eyes glowing.

"You think you're so clever, but you of all people should know how powerful revenge can make someone." Jack snapped ferociously.

"Come now, an eye for an eye makes the world go blind." Vlad replied coolly as he stood before the man his hands behind his back.

"What do I care. Did you really think you're going to get away with murder? If authority can't stop you I will." Jack stepped forward his fist clenched and his mind blocked with hatred that caused him to ignore all of his better judgments.

"You wanna fight, I'll show you a fight." Vlad said evilly he put his hands in front of him and began to collect energy in his palms.

But before Jack even had time to fight Vlad a blur came out of no where and pushed Vlad away from him. He looked in front of him and saw the Specter Speeder land on the ground, a girl in black was driving it. Jack then turned around to see what had stopped him, he nearly fainted.

There was a boy with snow white hair adorned in a black and white hazmat suit, his eyes were as bright as neon lights. And he came swinging at Vlad, not showing much mercy at all. What startled Jack the most was the rather large and familiar rip that went across his chest like a sash.

Sam ran up and stood next to Jack, she handed the man a weapon and held her own. "Hi, Mr. Fenton." She greeted sheepishly.

The father's mouth was hanging open his eyes locked on the two figures fighting in front of him. He was aware of Sam's presence and the weapon in his hand, but he couldn't acknowledge either one. His son was fighting his own killer, it was terrifying to think of him as a vengeful spirit, brandishing his punishment on the wicked.

Sam grabbed her walkie talkie and spoke right into it. Maddie answered on the other line saying that she had everyone ready and that they were not too far away and would be there in no time. Sam was becoming impatient.

"How does it feel Vlad?" Danny mocked standing in front of him.

"I don't understand..." The malevolent halfa said still trying to understand where he came from.

"No you wouldn't would you?" Danny growled his fists lighting up with energy. He hit the man in the shoulder with it causing him to fall back against the pavement. Energy sparked from his hands as he stood over Plasmius' fallen figure. "The wasted time, and it was all thanks to you. It's time you paid in full what you've taken."

"You think you can take me down, ghost or human I can still defeat you." Plasmius smirked his eyes alighting like fires of hell. "I hope you can stand to be defeated twice."

Vlad flared his feet up and caught Danny in the stomach, forcing the boy to stumble back and trip over his own feet while he was double over with pain. Vlad didn't hesitate, he had a sudden spur of energy and began to violently punch, kick and blast the boy. Till Danny was reduced to the same state as Vlad was, on his back. He stared upwards as the man approached and wasted no time in putting his boot on his chest.

With an evil grin he applied pressure to Danny's chest, slowly crushing down until loud cracks and exasperated gasps came from Danny. The boy let out an ear splitting scream that sent the whole area into pure silence. It caused Sam to jump into action, it was about as much as she could stand.

"Leave him alone!" She snarled viciously and immediately jumped Vlad and kicked at him violently.

The man grabbed her in reflex and threw her back towards Jack. "Mind your place!" He shouted. She landed with a heavy thud a few inches from Jack, who still stood frozen.

"Jack Fenton! Do something and save your son now!" She shouted at him hardly able to lift herself from the ground.

"I'm coming Danny!" Jack called charging forward valiantly as if awakened from his dream world.

He attempted what Sam did and like her failed miserably. It seemed impossible to stop the enraged man from his mission. He couldn't do a thing to save Danny and he watched miserably from the ground.

Jack blinked and looked, where the ghost had been laying a teenage boy was now on his hands and knees panting with rasping breath and coughing up blood onto the cement. His black hair fell over his paled face as he shook violently clutching his chest with both arms. The adult halfa stomped over to the weak figure with intent to kill.

"You thought you could just come back from the grave and defeat me just like that?" Vlad mocked grabbing a hold of the shaking figure of Danny Fenton. "You forget my dear Daniel that I am never weak, where as you, you're pathetic. Nothing will stand in my way. Nothing, and you certainly aren't a threat."

Danny slammed his eyes shut, he didn't want to look at him. Everything burned inside him, he felt sick and dizzy at the feeling of breathing. His heart beat like a drum violently against his shattered rib cage. Something as simple as living caused him too much pain, and he had to think hard to hold on.

"Get...away...get...away..." Danny choked. "Get away!" He yelled snapping open his eyes to reveal dangerous green ones, his whole body began to glow a searing bright white color and Vlad could barely hold him any longer. Danny curled his body into a small ball until he was completely unseen in the light enveloping him. Finally he outstretched his arms and all the heat and intensity caused an explosion knocking Vlad back.

Sam and Jack shielded their eyes from the brightness. It seemed to last forever, they only opened their eyes once more when the glow faded. Two bodies now laid on the ground. One a teenager, the other a man. Jack leaped to his feet and grabbed the thermos from Sam and immediately sucked Vlad into it, there was no way that he was going to get away again.

Sam was at Danny's side in a second and she knelt down beside the beaten figure. His chest was hardly rising and falling with the rather shallow breathing pattern he possessed. And his heartbeat was faint and slow. Sam desperately tried to get a response out of him.

"You aren't going again Danny, don't even think about it." She scorned through a cracking voice.

Jack came at his son's side and knew exactly what Sam knew. Danny was fading fast. There was no time for questions, no time for answers. The only thing that needed to happen was for Danny to stay.

"Do you have a phone Sam?" Jack asked quickly. "Sam?" He shouted a little louder the girl snapped her head up and grabbed it from her pocket, her hand swiping against a piece of velvet first.

Jack took it from her and dialed 911, knowing that Sam wasn't in the right state to ever do something like that. The whole time he was on the phone with the emergency operator he watched Sam shake Danny's shoulder and squeezed his hand. She called to him incessantly and was crying the whole time. He hung up the phone and touched Sam's shoulder.

"Help is coming, don't worry."

Weee a short chapter! Maybe I could've made it longer, but I didn't feel like it, I was sure able to release stress into this one. Hooray for me. Hope you liked it, more a coming.
