So Fast, So Sudden

Again, I apologize for updating so late. PLEASE FORGIVE ME! Anywho, I'd like to take the time to thank my beta, Aurora Marie Williams. Being a Grammar Nazi (sorry if that's offensive to anyone. I'm not here to offend) myself, I can understand how irking it is for ones grammar to aggravate you to the point of wanting to throw a dictionary at the writer. I'm grateful she hasn't done that yet. Off that subject, this is the final chapter of So Fast, So Sudden. *tears up* Thanks for all of my reviewers and all ideas from you. Here's the last chapter.

My whole body felt numb. I tried to open my eyes, but I couldn't. It felt weird. I could hear everything, yet it was as if only my conscience was there; my body was gone. "Why are you doing this?" Someone with a deep, familiar voice asked.
"You've had this coming for a long time!" Another familiar, but harsh, voice shouted in reply.

Then feeling began to return to my previously lifeless body. As soon as all of the feeling came back, I realized I was lying on cold rock-hard ground. Something surged back into my body, making me feel powerful.

I was slowly able to open my eyes. Everything was all fuzzy and meshing together. There were mixtures of purple, green, black, and… silver? I tried to push myself up, but I was still too weak.

Suddenly, I could see straight and my strength returned. I pushed myself up to my knees – that was the best I could do – and I couldn't believe my eyes. Skulker was fighting Vlad.

Sam's POV

We pulled into the Fenton's lab and parked the Specter Speeder where it normally sat. Everyone got out, still in shock about what Skulker had said. "Now what?" Dani asked, her voice cracking.
"Now, we help you remember." Tucker answered, pulling up some chairs.

3rd Person

Danny was shocked to see Skulker, of all people, fighting Vlad. Skulker was supposed to be working for Vlad, so why were they fighting?

Danny lifted himself slowly to his feet, grabbing onto a piece of dull shrapnel for support. Skulker blasted Vlad in the chest which sent him crashing right through a wall, rendering him unconscious. Skulker looked in that general direction apathetically, then at Danny. "Are you okay?"
"Wh-why are you helping me?" Danny asked still in shock. Skulker looked back at the hole in the wall.
"He has had it coming. He double-crossed me one too many times."
"But, I've always been your prize. What you go after just about everyday."
"You still are. If he took your powers away, you'd be worthless to both mine and your world." Danny took a shaky step back.
"What about now? Didn't he take my powers away?" Skulker shook his head.

They were silent for what seemed like ages. "I'm taking you home," Skulker said. Danny just gave him a confused look. "Just change and let's go!"

Danny did as told and was happy when he saw that he was still Phantom. Without his powers, it would've been like half of his life was destroyed.

Skulker and Danny took off flying. "So, can you please explain why you're not capturing me?" Skulker was silent until they reached the Fenton Portal. Once inside, Danny saw Sam, Tucker, Jazz, and Dani and his face lit up. When the four saw Skulker, they were filled with skepticism. "He didn't hurt you, did he?" Sam asked. Danny shook his head. She sighed in relief.

"Dani's remembering some things," Tucker said, breaking the silence.
"We just need to give it time," Jazz said patiently. Then added, "Once we find the correct way for Dani to retrieve access into her hippocampus and concentrate on the cortex of her frontal lobes…." Everyone, including Skulker, looked at her, blank faced. She sighed, "Once we get her to remember some things, the rest should come back naturally."

The front door slammed as Mr. and Mrs. Fenton came in. "Hello?" Jack screamed.
"Sh!" Maddie hissed. "You might wake Danny!"

The two parents started walking down into the lab and Danny panicked. He grabbed Sam and Dani while Skulker grabbed Tucker and Jazz. They both phased up through the ceiling. "I've got a plan." Skulker said, dropping Tucker and Jazz on their rear ends when they arrived in Danny's bedroom.

Skulker grabbed Danny by the wrist and flew him to the stairs. "When I push you," Skulker told him quietly, "scream."
"Why are you going to push me?" Danny asked, a little scared.
"If you just suddenly have your memory back, your parents will get suspicious. If you fall, you can act like the hit on the head helped." Danny nodded.
"Oh Skulker, thanks." Skulker grabbed Danny by his ghost form's shirt.
"Don't get too sentimental. Tomorrow, you're mine and a much more valuable prize."

Danny was speechless, so Skulker just pushed him down the stairs. Danny yelled as he fell, just as he was told to do. "Danny!" Sam, Tucker, Dani, and Jazz cried.

As the three ran down the stairs, Dani having to stay hidden in the bedroom, Jack and Maddie ran up from the lab. Danny changed back to his human form before anyone came out of the rooms, his eyes closed. "Danny!? Can you hear me?" Sam asked, knelt beside Danny. He opened his eyes, winked, and closed them again. "Huh?" Sam asked, bewildered.

Jack and Maddie rushed over as Danny faked waking up. He coughed and held his head up slightly. "Mom, Dad? What happened?" Maddie started crying; a joyful cry.
"Y-you remember me?" she asked, choking on tears.
"How could I forget?" Maddie and Jack hugged their now cured son. Danny was finally home; really home.

But wait! There's more...
