204Well, here's the last chappie: D I'm SO sry it took so long to post this chappie! I wasn't too thrilled with how it turned out, but I began to realize that I should post it soon, so here it is! Please review!
Danny made his way through the Ghost Zone, zipping through it and avoiding as many ghosts as possible. Of course that was impossible, seeing as how there were always ghosts around in the Ghost Zone no matter where he went.
He came across Ember, Skulker, and Technus, each with a smug smile, unaware that he didn't drink the Black Ectoplasm and therefore hadn't joined Vlad and become evil.
"So, you going to say something or what?" Danny asked, slightly irritated. Ember had a feeling something wasn't right, like something was off. A punch to her face from Danny was all she needed in order to confirm her suspicions.
He rolled his eyes at her and dodged the two blasts each from Skulker and Technus, who had attacked from either sides of him, and wound up hitting each other with their attacks.
Danny looked up, having floated down to avoid the blasts, and laughed as he saw the two hit each other. It was the funniest thing he had ever seen two of his enemies do.
Suddenly a blast came from behind and Danny couldn't dodge it, for it was unexpected, and was slammed into the ground. Ember held her guitar up in triumph but her smug smile soon became that of utter disappointment when Danny just got up and shot her a look that said, 'You'll wish you never did that.'
But before he could even charge up his ecto-beam, Skulker cuffed his hands together with his best cuffs. Much to his disappointment, Danny was too strong for them and unexpectedly broke free of them, breaking them into pieces the process.
Skulker looked from his broken cuffs with wide eyes and a look of utter disbelief to Danny who smirked at him then dodged Technus' attack. He grabbed Technus by the collar of his white coat and then threw him at Skulker. The two fell to the ground, both weakened by the impact.
Ember had a mental battle with herself between fighting, or flying away and saving her skin. But she didn't want to look weak and so she stood her ground.
Danny wanted to blast her, an urge he used to have when he had the Black Ectoplasm in his system, but he held back that feeling and just gave her a look. She glared at him but backed away, slowly.
Danny smiled lightly and flew as fast as he could back to where he remembered the portal being. He liked this Ember better than the future one. The future one had let the power of her position get to her and became even ruder and enjoyed hurting people even more. Present Ember did like to cause a bit of havoc and mayhem, but she didn't have the power to do any more than that.
Danny smiled brightly, glad he was able to change the future and was full of hope for a better one.
The portal came into view and he couldn't wait to get through it. As the green swirling vortex came closer, memories of the future raced through his head, reminding him of why he had to stay good, for the sake of the world.
He passed through the portal and into his parents' lab down in the basement. Becoming intangible, he flew through the ceiling and out to the street, flying into the ally near his house.
After making sure no one was looking, he changed back to his human form, glad that he had two separate forms again.
He looked around again then, when he saw the coast was clear, walked over to his house.
It was late, about nine, maybe ten at night. It was chilly and the stars were bright, like they had been earlier that night, though to him it seemed like years ago. He would have to get used to the feeling of having to be 14, until he forgot about being 18. It would be difficult, but he would get used to it. After all, it was only a matter of time.
The door opened and Jazz stepped out, wondering where her brother was. She could only hold her parents off for so long before they became suspicious and, once they found out he was home after curfew, decided to ground him, only adding to his list of reasons to be angry.
Danny saw her and smiled as he walked up to her. She looked down and saw him approach, a serious yet worried look appearing on her face and she ran to him after making sure their parents were out of the room, then ushered him inside. They had gone down to the basement for some reason; something about a ghost coming through the portal...
"Danny! I'm sorry about what's been happening lately and I know you're mad and everything's—" Danny's smile caught her off guard. Normally he wouldn't have stuck around long enough to listen to her, but now he seemed happy, content. What had happened while he was out wherever he went?
"Jazz, thanks for worrying and all, really. But I went on a walk and...cleared my head. I thought about everything and realized there was no reason to be mad about it all. I mean, everything was kind of not looking so good for me. It seemed like there was someone out to get me." Danny laughed a bit, hiding the fact that that was true.
"But I thought it all over and...I've decided that I'm going to make things right again." Danny forced a smile. For some reason he didn't like the happiness, but at the same time he did. He was too tired to think too much about it so he told Jazz he was going to sleep and she offered to walk him up to his room. He thought it unnecessary and would have preferred her not too. Besides, he was still a bit unused to seeing her alive but he knew he was happy that she was, that her death or any other's death hadn't happened as it had in the now alternate time line.
Jazz walked him up to his room and now he was glad because he was beginning to get a headache. He was so tired and his head was beginning to really hurt, he barely made it up the steps and Jazz was there to make sure he got to his bed.
Too tired to bother to change into his nightclothes, they exchanged goodnights and Jazz turned off the light and looked back one more time before closing the door behind her.
Danny sighed, finding he couldn't sleep. It felt like something was missing, something he had felt for a while. He concluded it was the fact he didn't have one form, but two again, that he wasn't 18 anymore, or, this being his favorite, not having the Black Ectoplasm flowing through his system.
But his head still pained him and his body felt weak, like it was protesting, trying to tell him something, but something, though weak, held it off and at this point, he was glad. Soon sleep took over and he fell into a somewhat peaceful rest.
A very small part of him was weak, but it would become powerful again, and make sure the future that its host had prevented...
...happened...
