Clockwork's POV
Everything seemed to happen in slow motion. Vizier firing the blast, Danny diving in front of me, the ball of energy striking him, Jazz screaming as Danny was launched into the wall and crumpled to the ground motionless, his chest smoking from the blast. My face frozen in horror as I watched, powerless.
The blast had burned through his shirt and a large, red and blistering burn could be seen on his chest. The rest of his clothes were in ashy pieces and burns littered his face and arms.
Jazz, Sam, Tucker, Danni and Fright Knight raced over to Danny. I looked back at Vizier, his hand was still smoking and he had a look of horror on his face as well. My eyes glowed red with anger, "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" I screamed as my strength returned with a vengeance.
My form glowed with a blue light and used my telekinesis to grab my staff from Nocturne's unconscious body. Once it was in my hands I swung it at Vizier, striking him in the face forcing him to drop the shield he held around us.
Vizier had been knocked to the ground and I saw Ember and Skulker prepare to strike him. "NO!" I cried using my telekinesis to push them away from him, "HE IS MINE!"
Vizier began to rise and I charged at him, my staff morphing into a scythe. I swung my staff at him but Vizier flew upwards and managed to dodge, firing red beams of energy as he did. I moved my hand in a circular motion creating a blue shield that protected me from the blasts.
Holding my shield in front of me I flew at top speed towards Vizier while he continued to fire at me. I took another swing at him with my scythe but he flew away. "Stop being a coward and fight me Vizier!" I yelled as I chased after him.
"I am no coward!" Vizier yelled back as he continued to fly away from me firing blasts as he did.
"THEN FACE ME!" I screamed.
Vizier continued to fly from me and I raced after him firing blue energy blasts from my staff-turned-scythe. I managed to hit him with a blast and he fell to the ground. Ghosts from the battle outside the castle began trickling in. They spotted Vizier on the ground and prepared their weapons.
"STAY AWAY FROM HIM," I cried as I used my telekinesis once more to push away the ghosts close to him. One of them being Frostbite, "Time Master! What are you doing!" he shouted.
"This fight is now solely between Vizier and I! Attend to the others!" I managed to say as Vizier rose back into the air. I lost interest in the other ghosts and returned all my focus to Vizier. I charged at him and our battle resumed.
I threw my scythe at Vizier and it clipped his shoulder. He cried out in pain as blood started to trickle from his arm and the wound began to sizzle. "Seems you have a new toy brother, Ecto-Ranium is it not," he said with clenched teeth.
I growled, "We. Are. Not. BROTHERS!" Using my telekinesis, my staff returned to my hand and I took another swing at Vizier. He floated to the side and dodged my attack, blasting me in the side with his red energy.
I cried out in pain as I clutched my side. Vizier landed a kick to my face and I was knocked back. I regained my balance and lunged at Vizier, landing a direct punch to his jaw and slamming my elbow down on his injured shoulder.
Vizier had no time to cry out in pain as I blasted him with a beam of blue energy that sent him flying. He crashed into the wall above the destroyed throne and fell onto the rubble. Vizier spat out green blood on the stone and laughed.
"Never thought you had it in you Clockwork. To be so brutal, so forceful. If I didn't know any better I would think you actually cared for the boy," he said as he slowly brought himself up, using his uninjured arm as support.
I frowned and narrowed my eyes as I approached Vizier. He looked up at me and smiled, "It's a good thing I still have one more trick up my sleeve." With that he extended his arm towards me and a glowing gold dagger shot out of his sleeve.
I tried to quickly move out of the way but it managed to lodge itself in my right shoulder. I screamed in pain as only part of the the gold blade could be seen sticking out of my shoulder. The more shocking part of the wound, was that it started to leak blue blood. My blood.
"The Spirit Dagger," Vizier said as he stood up, "The only thing in the universe that can kill a spirit." I clutched the dagger and pulled it out of my shoulder, the gold blade streaked with blue.
I threw the dagger to the other side of the room and clutched my wounded shoulder. "Yet you fail to use it wisely," I mocked. Vizier laughed as he reached inside his robe, "I never said there was only one dagger." He pulled out two more of the golden daggers. Grabbing one in each hand Vizier charged at me.
I brought up my scythe and blocked the daggers from hitting me. The two of us remained in that position, struggling against one another for the upper hand. "Seems like we were having this battle just yesterday doesn't it Clockwork?" Vizier said as he put more force on his daggers.
"Just like our final battle," I said as I pushed Vizier off my scythe. He stepped back as he regained his balance, "Yes, only this time we don't have any 'interference'."
My eyes glowed with rage and my scythe burst into blue flames. I charged at Vizier swinging wildly landing a hit almost every time. Vizier was crying out in pain as the Ecto-Ranium on my scythe continued to touch and burn him. He threw his Spirit Daggers at me. I managed to avoid one but the other sliced my upper arm.
I hissed in pain but continued my attack. Vizier tried to dodge but was still hit but every other strike. He fired bursts of red energy at me striking me multiple times. My clothes began to burn away as Vizier's blasts kept hitting me. I lunged at him and punched him in the gut. While he was bent over I wrapped my ghostly tail around his body and spun him around. I let go and he slammed into a wall, falling to the ground with pieces of debris falling on top of him.
Vizier broke free of the rubble and grabbed another dagger from his cloak. He charged at me and managed to slice my side. Ignoring the pain I swung at Vizier wildly.
"This is for the Elders!" I cried as I slashed at his arm. "This is for Nocturne!" Another slash at his arm. "This is for Danny!" I landed a punch to his face. "And this is for SERENITY!!" I screamed as I fired a huge burst of blue light at Vizier.
He launched into the ground and lay there. Groaning, Vizier slowly sat up. I floated down to him. Vizier laughed, "Go ahead, banish me to the Other World. I'll find my way back and when that happens-"
"It won't happen," I interrupted, "Because I am not banishing you." Vizier looked up at me, fear and confusion in his eyes. "You do not deserve banishment. Your punishment is much greater than that," I said calmly as mist began flowing from my eyes. Vizier tried to scramble away from me. I slammed the bottom of my scythe, now turned back into my normal staff, down on his cloak.
I turned the dial on the clock that rested in my staff. My finger hovered over the stopwatch button and looked down on the wounded ghost.
"Goodbye Vizier."
I pressed the button and Vizier screamed as he evaporated into mist, leaving only his black cloak behind as well his last Spirit Dagger.
I sighed and my eyes dimmed. I heard crying. Turning my head in the direction of the sounds I saw every single ghost who had been in the battle, whether outside or inside, gathered around a single spot.
I floated over and many ghosts saw me. They moved out of my way as I approached the crowd. I floated all the way to the center, passing Far Frozen warriors, Greek soldiers, and Walker's men.
I finally reached the center of the crowd and was shocked at what I saw. Kitty was crying into Johnny's shoulder and Ember was shedding a few tears as she tried to help comfort Kitty. Pandora had shrunk her size and let a few tears fall from her eyes. Frostbite had his head lowered as did Queen Dorathea. Cujo and Wulf howled around the six people in the center. I floated over to see Danni, Sam, Tucker, Jazz and Fright Knight. Fright Knight was on his knees and the others were crying. But no one cried as hard as Jazz Fenton.
She cried as she clutched the small motionless body in her arms. I felt a tear slip from my eye. "Not again. I let it happen again," I whispered. Jazz brushed the hair away from the closed eyes of Danny Phantom.
A/N: Bye now! *hops into a rocket and flies into outer space*
