Chapter Three: Danny Phantom's Last Goodbye

(August 28, 2007, Manson's Residence)

Ring...ring...ring...

Sam Manson was peacefully sleeping in her room, when her phone was ringing constantly, waiting for her to pick up. She groaned, cursing and saying incoherent words to herself while she opened her amethyst eyes and looked at her phone in annoyance.

Tucker Foley is calling...

She groaned again. Why Tucker had called her in the middle of the night? She let the phone ringing, thinking that Tucker was pulling a prank on her again, that he will gave up if she will just ignore the phone ringing and went back to sleep.

Ring...ring...ring...

She looked at the phone with annoyance. Tucker will never give up, is he? I'm going to kill him if he doesn't have a good reason to call me at freaking 2 AM...she thought, annoyingly answered the call.

"Hello..."

"Sam? Are you awake?"

Sam snorted. Stupid Tucker, now she's awake because of him, and he just asked if he's awake. Is he kidding?

"Yeah, and give me a good reason why you called me at this freaking hour-" Sam said.

Suddenly she heard an explosion in the background and someone screaming. Wait, is that Jazz screaming?

"Tucker, what's going on? And is that Jazz screaming? Tucker, tell me!" She shouted, not caring that someone in her household will wake up because of her scream. She only cared about the safety of her friends, and that's all that matters.

Suddenly Jazz's voice filled Sam's ears. "Sam, you had to come here quick! We're in front of Casper High and Danny... he's in danger... Plasmius had been attacking him again... He wants Danny dead... I think Danny is..." Suddenly, the line went dead.

"Jazz? Jazz? What happened to Danny?! Tell me, Jazz! TELL ME!" She screamed again, clutching the phone hard, before she threw it at the far corner at her room when she received no answer.

She sobbed, her shoulders shaking. Oh Danny, I hope you're safe... Don't worry, I'll be there.

Without thinking twice, she went to her closet and grabbed her black jacket, not caring to change her pajamas for her normal attire. She went outside the house and ran away in the night, not caring that her parents had scolded her to stay at the house and go back at her room. All that matters to her was Danny's safety, for he was in danger and knowing Vlad Plasmius or Vlad Masters in his human form, he will make sure that Danny will suffer, for he was hindrance from completing Plasmius' evil plan, which is killing Danny's father Jack and making Danny's mother Maddie his wife.

She arrived in front of Casper High School in record time. There, she saw Tucker and Jazz, and a battle happening few meters away from where they were standing. Jasmine 'Jazz' Fenton, the ever beautiful brilliant girl with bright orange hair, turquoise eyes and cute smile, was crying hard, and she did not dare to watch the fight, especially to her brother. Tucker tried to comfort her, but he was crying too, tears were falling from his blue green eyes.

Sam's eyes focused at the fight, tears threatening to fall from her amethyst eyes. There he was, fighting Vlad Plasmius and by the looks of it, it seems that Plasmius was going to get that victory. Danny looks horrible, his usually glowing ghostly green eyes and ghostly aura had dimmed slightly, his snow white hair was raked with dirt, his black jumpsuit was ruined, and he has a lot of wounds and bruises littering in his teenage body.

According to Tucker, Danny had fought a least six ghosts, namely Box Ghost, Skulker, Technus, Ember, Bertrand, and Spectra, before Plasmius had decided to pester Danny, so Danny was already exhausted, and Plasmius takes this to his advantage.

She felt pity for him, and she silently wished that she did not convince Danny to go inside in that Ghost Portal few months ago. It was all her fault that Danny had to suffer everything because of the ghost powers she had indirectly given to him, and she hated herself for it.

"So Daniel, I will give you a last chance to save your life. Join me, Daniel, and I will teach you a lot of things. We will become a happy family, with dear Maddie as my wife, you as my son and apprentice and without that bumbling oaf of a father." Vlad said, looking at Danny with a creepy smile on his lips.

But Danny just shook his head, his eyes glowing with determination. "And I tell you the last time, Fruit Loop, that I will never, EVER join you! I would rather die than to be with you!" Danny barked as his hand glowed brighter than it had ever been. He shot Vlad with his own ectoblasts, but Vlad avoided them.

"So you want to die huh, Daniel? THEN DEATH YOU SHALL GET!"

Danny and Vlad fought harshly, pink and green ectoblasts had been scattering in the place like a light show, and it nearly hit Tucker, missing him a few inches.

"Hey! Watch the head!" Tucker complained, looking at the two in annoyance.

Suddenly, Danny was hit by Vlad's ectoblast, causing him to hit the ground. Vlad finally noticed the three of them.

"Oh, you had brought an audience, Daniel. Perfect! It is a privilege and an honor to see Daniel die, isn't it Samantha?" Vlad sneered, his words dripping with sarcasm, looking at the enraged Goth.

"Leave them alone, Vlad! It is between you and me, don't you include them in this!" Danny weakly shouted at Vlad, and weakly stood up, his hand clutching the pained area where he was hit by Vlad.

"Really? Daniel, don't be such a party pooper. The party just started." Vlad looked at Sam with scorn before grabbing a strange gun-like invention and pointing it at Sam.

"SAM!" The three members of Team Phantom screamed.

"What's that?" Sam asked, looking at the invention with worry.

"This, my dear child, was an Ecto Blaster 2.0. Proudly made and payed for by me. It could kill ghosts in just one shot," he said, cradling the invention like a baby before pointing it again at Sam," But it could also harms humans, dear child. So goodbye, Samantha, and have a nice afterlife." Sam's eyes widened, tears sprung at her eyes. Is this the end? The end of her life? Her life had flashed before her eyes, those memories and moments that she had experienced. She closed her eyes, waiting for her end.

He pulled the trigger; the gunshot sound was still ringing in her ears. She's waiting for the pain to embrace her and claim her life, but it never came. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Vlad's shocked face, the gun still smoking from his hand. She looked at her body, and saw no wounds or blood in her. She sighed in relief.

"DANNY!" It was Tucker's and Jazz's voice.

Danny? Sam looked down and gasped as her amethyst eyes slowly filled with tears. Danny was lying down in front of her, and he was bleeding profusely, a strange swirl of reds and greens surrounding him. He was hit by Vlad's invention, and considering the fact that Danny was a halfa, or a half-ghost half-human hybrid, he was seriously injured by it.

He was breathing hard, and he looks pale. His glowing green eyes were dimming while his ghostly aura flickers. Tucker and Jazz went to Sam, asking if she was alright before going to Danny.

As for Vlad, he disappeared without a trace, leaving the Team Phantom in the scene.

At first, Sam was stumped and confused at what happened, looking at Danny with worried eyes. Then as if by magic, Sam realized what Danny did.

He had sacrificed himself for her.

He protected Sam from being hit by Vlad by putting his body in front of her like a human shield, and received the shot that was meant for Sam.

Sam bent down and held Danny's cold hand. She looked at him and smiled sadly. "Are you out of your mind? Sacrificing yourself for me? What are you thinking, you ninny?!" She teased, laughing humorlessly. Danny just looked at her with a strained smile.

"Yeah. I think Jazz will say that it's because of my Hero's Complex. You know," he raspily says and coughs, "Saving other people's life than my own."

Jazz smiled sadly at her brother, tears pouring out of her eyes. Tucker was her side, and he chuckled slightly," You know, Danny, what you did was total craziness."

"Yeah, I know."

Then Danny looked at Sam, his glowing green eyes staring on her amethyst ones. "Sa-sa-sam?"

"Yes, Danny? What was it?" She asked, holding Danny's hand like a lifeline.

"I-I-I want to-to g-g-gave you th-this..." Danny grabbed something from his pocket and gave it to Sam.

It was a gold ring with a huge circular diamond garnishing it. Sam looked at it in wonder and confusion. "What is this?"

Danny looked at her, a smile in his pained face. "This was actually meant for Valerie, but as the time goes by, Sam, I suddenly felt that it was meant for you." He held Sam's hand and he slipped the ring on Sam's ring finger.

"What do you mean?" She asked, confused.

"That means I-I-I love yo-you Sam. And I mean it. I tru-tru-truly love you ever since middle school. And I wanted to spend my life with yo-you." Danny said raspily, breathing hard. "And-and I was a-a-afraid that you w-w-will never lov-love me, so I never told you a-a-a-bout it. Do you love me?"

Sam was shocked. All this time, Danny fell in love with her? She smiled sadly as looked at the fallen hero, tears fell from her eyes.

"Ye-yes-yes. I love you, Danny."

Danny smiled at her, his eyes glistening with love and happiness. Tucker and Jazz smiled too, they were right! Those two love birds were really meant for each other, they knew it.

"But promise me tha-that you will always re-re-remember me. That you will never f-forget me..." Danny, who had already coughed blood, said, staring at Sam with love and pain, "I pro-promise that we-we will be together so-so-someday, I pr-pr-promise."

Sam brushed his white hair out of his eyes and said, "I promise Danny, I promise."

He smiled at her for the last time, and said his last words, as he took his last breath.

I love you, Sam.

His hand had already gone limp from Sam's hand. Sam looked at his dead body and the ring in despair, as the rain started to pour, as if the skies were crying for the life that had lost.

Danny Fenton/Phantom, the half-human half-ghost hero of Amity Park, was already gone like the flower in the wind.
