Chapter 23
Clockworks expression stayed the same. Vlad's men grabbed Sam from behind and held her wrists together with a rope. "Let me get this strait.." he began lifting up his staff. "You would like to be ruler of this world?"
"Yes. Supreme ruler." Vlad put his hands together. "Well then good fellow, are you going to grant it?" he sure sounded impatient. "My rule with begin immediately."
"Not in your wildest dreams, Plasmius." Danny shouted out at him, aiming a punch but instantly was held back by a powerful looking ghost. "Fright knight...been a while." he said with a glare.
"Don't go anywhere near the king, he's busy." he ordered him tossing him across the room. Landing in the punch bowl, Sam winced visibly.
Looking around, she then glanced up at the guards. "So..do you think I can sit down?" she asked curious and innocent like. "My boots are killing me."
Both the guards who were beside her shrugged slightly. "Yes." one replied lifting up a chair and she sat down in it.
Glancing at the two, she slowly began to untie the rope the best she could from being tied up. Watching as Danny pushed the fright night back. I need to get free. I need to help him. she thought to herself and finally freed her hands from the bindings. "I'm fine now." she said lifting up her hands, and instantly her wings appeared.
"What the?!" One asked giving Sam a weird look. "Grab her!" they began to reach and tried to pull her down, but she dodged the attacks.
"Lets see.." Sam stared down at the men making sure they couldn't see up her dress. Lifting up her hands, she lifted them up and a bright white glowing cage went around them. "You boys say there." she said curtly and did a small bow. Looking over her shoulder, she watched as Danny smashed the Fright Knight across the face.
"Enough!!" Clockwork shouted and lifted up his staff. Time stopped instantly for the two fighting. "With conditions being the way they are...I am not permitting you that wish."
"What?!" Vlad said angrily. "No, you must grant the wish." he ordered him, lifting up both hands.
"No I don't. That wish isn't aloud." Clockwork floated backwards. "One wish...other then that."
"Fine." Vlad's eyes began to glow an even dark red. "I wish too have tremendous power."
"That," Clockwork began as he shifted from old to a little boy in front of there eyes. "I can grant."
His staff began to glow a bright white color, and circled around Vlad. Who began to laugh unbelievably.
Danny, Sam, and Fright Knight were still frozen. As soon as the transformation began, they became unfrozen. Fright Knight floated back next to Vlad's side.
"Danny." Sam flew right next to him, landing safely.
"Clockwork! You gotta stop this from happening." Danny spoke out loudly. "Please, this isn't going to end good!"
"He made one wish...that doesn't have any rules to it. I don't have to stop." Clockwork floated back as soon as he was done. "You though, can stop him if you would like too." he said softly, before disappearing.
Vlad turned his attention to Sam and Danny. "Now then, Daniel. Shall we finish this once and for all?"
"Gladly.." Danny replied, before looking to Sam. "You need to get out of there. Now." he said sharply.
"No."
"Look, I don't want to worry about you in this fight." Danny got into a stance. "Get out."
"I can help you!" Sam fought back, getting beside him. "I'm helping."
Danny glared at her for a moment, before feeling a shot of pain in his left shoulder. "C-Cheap shot Vlad!"
Vlad smirked before flying at him. "You're weak, just like your no good father was."
That one line, sent Danny over the top. "Do not insult my dad!" he shouted letting his anger take over, he lifted up his hands that were glowing white. And sent a thing of ice at him.
With out giving it much thought, Sam also sent a white beam at Vlad. Combining there powers, it hit him dead on.
Letting out a scream of pain, his eyes just stayed the same color. "You little brats..." he hissed lifting up his hand, he aim and attack for Sam. "...If I die, I'm brining your lover with me." and sent his ultimate attack at her.
Danny wasn't fast enough and Sam was sent back against the wall. She gasped in pain, and fell limply to the ground.
"SAM!" he shouted loudly and flew over to him, Vlad's laugh slowly died off as soon as the attack from before got to him. "Oh no...don't you die on me."
Sam's eyes looked at him slowly. "Sorry, I'm not much help.." she whispered gently to him. Before closing her lavender eyes.
Cliffhanger again!! Dun hate me! Did Vlad and Sam really die? The fight scene wasn't as long as I expected it would be. Short but sweet I would say. Review kindly.
