Sam was startled back to reality by the sudden movement under her wing. She gently lifted her wing off the girl hidden below it. "Morning Sam." Dani yawned stretching herself out as she sat up. Sam rose, yawning as well, and stretched her wings and neck, getting a few pops and crack out. She then shook her body, and transformed back to her human form.

"Morning… Dani." She ended up growling, but immediately started coughing up blood. After clearing her throat she started again. "Morning." She said with less growling.

"You've got to get that fixed." Dani said wincing at the blood. Sam shrugged her shoulders knowing there wasn't much that could be done about it. "So what's the plan?" Dani started standing up, doing some stretches. "We've got to find Danny, but who knows where to start looking, or if he's even in the ghost zone."

Sam yawned again as she sat watching the girl. "Have you ever heard of Prince Aragon?" Sam started.

Dani thought for a minute then responded. "Yeah, isn't he Dora's brother?" She asked twisting her back.

"Yeah, they both have the ability to change into ghost dragons." Sam added.

"Right, cause of there pendants." Dani said realizing exactly who he was. "He's the creep who gave you your curse." She added pointing to Sam's pendent.

"Yeah." Sam sighed softly. "Anyway, Clockwork told me he was building a ghost army to rebel against Vlad, he said we should fine him. Maybe he'll have a way of finding Danny too." Sam said picking up the compass Clockwork had given her off her chest.

"How do we find him, I mean, he's got to be hiding really well of Vlad hasn't found him yet." Dani added standing in front to Sam, looking at the object in her hand.

Sam smiled up at Dani and lifted the compass from her neck. "He gave me this compass." Sam said handing the instrument to her. "He said that they were located about 3 days travel southeast form his castle.

"Well that's vague." Dani said handing the compass back to Sam.

" I know." Sam said placing the compass back around her neck. "But I figure if we head in that direction we'll fine something." Sam said getting up to her feet. "Ready."

Dani nodded lifting her backpack to her shoulders, then she watched as a light consumed Sam's body, changing her into her dragon form. Dani floated up onto her shoulder, right before her wings. "Let's go." She said holding to Sam's shoulder. Sam growled softly then beat her wings and jumped getting altitude.

They flew for hours not finding any signs of ghost activity. "So…" Dani yawned getting bored. "How long have you and Danny been going out?" Dani asked. Sam growled and arched her head back to give her a questionable look. "Oh right, can't talk. We'll you're a boring ride Sam." Dani sighed getting frustrated with her boredom. Sam growled more softly as if to say sorry. "Well, what does it sound like when you say 'yes'?" Dani asked wanting to try and have some sort of a conversation. Sam rolled her eyes and growled a 'yes' for her. Dani listened carefully learning the noise. "Ok, now 'no'." Dani asked again. Sam again responded with a 'no'. Dani listen more carefully seeing if there was a difference. "Ah, ok, your 'no' is more low pitched." She said hearing the difference. "Ok so let's try and make this useful, ok." Dani asked before she continued. Sam shrugged her shoulder and growled a 'yes'. "Ok, that was a yes, right?" Dani asked. Sam smiled back and nodded. "See, I'll get it." Dani smiled.

After another few hours both were getting excused, but Dani had learn a good amount of ways to understand Sam. "Hey Sam?" Dani yawned getting Sam's attention. Sam growled a 'yes' and waited for her to continue. "I'm getting tired, what do you say, can we call it a night?" Dani almost begged. Sam smiled at her pleading; it reminded her of the way Danny would beg. Sam growled a 'yes' then looked down at the land they were currently flying over. It looked like it was a dark mountainous terrain. Sam flew around; making sure it was empty, then landed in a concealed area. As soon as Sam hit the ground Dani jumped off, stretching her legs. Sam exhaled a deep breath, and then changed into her human form. "You're a fast ride Sam, but a boring one." Dani yawned sitting against a large rock.

"So sorry." Sam said sarcastically. Suddenly a growling filled the area. Sam looked back at Dani seeing her blushing slightly. "Hungry?" Sam laughed.

"Yeah, aren't you?" Dani answered smiling.

Sam gave her a disheartening look. "Not really." She paused for a moment. "I really don't feel hunger pains anymore."

Dani looked at Sam, and for the first time saw how thin she was. Her belt was the only thing keeping her pants on, her dragon sweatshirt hid her stomach and ribs, but Dani could see her bony wrists and face. "Didn't Freakshow feed you?" Dani asked, but got no response, the answer was obvious. "You should still eat something." Dani said pulling her backpack off. She rummaged through for a minute then pulled out two apples. "Here." She offered handing Sam the fruit. Sam hesitated for a minute, feeling guiltily about taking food from the halfa. "Just take it." Dani pleaded more forcefully.

Sam didn't hesitate again. "Thanks." Sam said softly sitting down across from Dani, leaning against a rock.

Dani watched as Sam took a few small almost cautious bites, then started devouring the apple. It had been so long since Sam had actually eaten and she had complete forgotten how starved she was. Dani only had a few bites out of her apple by the time Sam was done hers. "Here, you want to finish?" Dani offered handing Sam the barely eaten apple.

"No, it's yours. You finish." Sam said turning down the food.

"Take it, please." Dani said throwing the apple at Sam.

"Are you sure?" Sam asked catching the food.

"Yeah, besides…" Dani started going through her bag again. "I've got some jerky, and I know you won't be interested." Dani said pulling out her stash of meat.

Sam smiled grateful that she had such a good, prepared, friend. "Thanks." Sam said finishing off the apple.

After eating the two sat talking for a little as they digested. But after a while they began to hear noises tell them that they were not alone on the land. "You did hear that right?" Dani said quietly looking over at Sam.

Sam nodded her and motioned for Dani to follow. "It's coming from over here." Sam said softly as they carefully made there way through the rocky landscape. "Look." Sam said running up just a head of Dani towards a cliff. Sam laid down on her stomach so she could get a look with out being seen. Dani followed suit and crawled up next to Sam to see the source of the noise.

"Oh my head." Jack's voice rose from the line of ghost. He opened his eyes finding himself being carried in a large cage pulled by the sleepwalkers. "Where am I? What happened?" Jack demanded looking towards the front of the line seeing Nocturne at the head of the group.

"Dam, I didn't kill it." Nocturne cursed stopping the troop. "Oh well." He started floating up to Jack's cage. "Lord Plasmius will enjoy killing you himself." He growled getting into Jack's face.

"What did you do to my family?" Jack growled not remembering what happened.

"I'm sure there fine, for now." Nocturne chuckled walking away from his prisoner. "Keep moving." He commanded floating back to the front of his army.

"That's…" Dani started quietly.

"Jack, Danny's father." Sam finished looking back to Dani. Both had a knowing look on there face.

"Let's get closer." Dani smiled willingly. Sam nodded in agreement and both slowly made there way silently down the cliff.

"What did you do to them, what did you do Danny?" Jack continued to yell at Nocturne.

"Quite." Nocturne warned looking back at his increasing loud prisoner.

But Jack would not remain silent. "If you hurt them I'll…" Jack started.

"You'll what?" Nocturne yelled jumping back to the cage. "You're a prisoner of Vlad's now. There nothing you can do." Nocturne yelled. "So just shut it!"

But Jack won't listen. "If I find out you hurt them I'll make you pay, you slimy ghost."

"That's it!" Nocturne yelled stopping his army. "I'll just kill him now!" He yelled charging an attack. Just as he lifted his arm to fire the blast a soft rumbling originated from behind Nocturne causing him to look back slightly. Suddenly a strong roar shook over the group, making Nocturne lose his attack. Jack watched as a small, dark lavender dragon lunged out of the woods, growling at the army.

Sam hissed as she slammed her energized tail into Nocturne, sending him flying a few feet away. Sam jumped and flew after him, a few of his soldiers to follow, getting them away from Jack as she took the battle in the air.

Jack stared a head of him, not sure what just happened. "Don't worry, we'll get you out." Dani said getting his attention. She blasted a few of the sleepwalkers away with one hand, and was working on the lock with the other. But Nocturne's army was still advancing and she could not pick the lock and fight them off at the same time.

Meanwhile, Sam battle Nocturne's sleepwalkers ruthlessly. "There's no way the 'accursed' lives." Nocturne yelled as he watched his army fall to the small dragon. Sam turned, roaring at the dream ghost charging him. Nocturne fired at Sam, trying to slow her down, but no matter how may time he hit her, she kept coming. Sam lowered her head, exposing her horns then slammed into Nocturne's side, getting a cry in agony. Sam then arched her back, throwing the ghost off of her, turned and then slammed him with her tail, knocking him back to the hard ground.

Sam then looked back at Dani seeing her having trouble keeping the sleepwalkers at bay. Sam pulled in her wings, diving towards them. "Move!" Sam growled flying strait at the cage. Dani looked up hearing one of the growls she had learned.

"Move, back, get against the back of the cage." Dani instructed Jack as she watched Sam getting closer, her tail glowing with energy. Just as she was about the ram the cage, she turned and swung her tail, cutting the bars away. Sam then set her sights on the sleepwalkers. "Hurry." Dani yelled pulling Jack from the broken cage. "Hang on tight." She warned pulling Jack into the sky. "Let's go!" Dani yelled getting Sam's attention.

Sam knocked the last of the sleepwalks away and took off before they could recover. "Get back here with my prisoner!" Nocturne's voice roared. Sam looked back seeing the ghost giving chase. Sam knew that she could out run him, but not Dani, especially having to carry Jack.

"Grab on!" Sam growled flying strait towards the pair hoping Dani would understand.

Dani nodded her head, showing that she understood, and reached out, grabbing Sam as she flew by. "Hold on to what ever you can, it's going to be a ruff ride." Dani said trying to help Jack hold on to Sam. But as Sam planed, Nocturne soon fell to far behind unable keep up with her. They kept going a little further, but the combination of the exhausted from the battle and the extra weight was draining Sam. Dani seem to sense that she was struggling. "Over there." Dani said pointing towards what looked like an old battlefield inside of a dead forest. Sam quickly descended into the lifeless forest. Dani floated off of Sam then turning to help the extra passenger. "Are you ok?" Dani asked Jack.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Jack responded staring at Sam. "Who are you?" Jack said finally looking at Dani.

"Well," Dani started standing next to Sam. "My name is Danielle, Dani for short." She explained. "And this is…"

"Sam…" Jack said softly still staring at the dark purple dragon.

Sam snorted and took a step back not believing he just said her name. "Some one spilled it." Sam thought to herself.

"Is that really you?" Jack said walking up to stand face to snout with Sam.

Dani looked curious at the two, not quite sure what was going on. Sam took a deep breath not sure how he would react and allowed herself to transform back into her human from.

Jack watched as the light faded, revealing a worn girl whom he had searched for months for. He blinked a few times, not sure if what he was seeing was real. "It's really you." He said softly placing his hands over her shoulders. "Sam." Sam only nodded in agreement not sure what to do. "Oh Sam!" Jack cried pulling her into a tight hug. "Danny told us you were dead." He said pulling away just enough to look at her face.

Sam was taken back by his tears, she never expected of all people, Mr. Fenton to care about her. "I was, or almost was." Sam said softly, unfortunately her coughing followed it, which resulted in small blood flow from mouth.

Concern replaced relief in his eyes. "What's wrong, what's the matter, are you hurt?" Jack instantly released Sam.

"I'm… fine…" Sam tried to speak but her coughing didn't allow her.

"She's ok." Dani cut in for Sam.

"Ok? Look at her!" Jack almost yelled making Dani jump a little.

"Yeah, but this is normal. She's ok, she doesn't have a voice box and it's hard for her to talk." Dani quickly explained.

Sam let out a frustrated growl, clearing her throat. "Right." Sam quickly confirmed.

Jack let out a nervous sigh then fished through his pockets. "Here." He said pulling out an old rag.

"Thanks." Sam thanked softly taking his rag to whip her hands.

"So, what happened, Danny said you died." Jack asked sitting down, giving Sam a questionable look. Sam sat across from him, Dani joining her as she started to explain how Clockwork took her and helped her heal faster. "And who are you?" Jack asked looking towards Dani. "You look very, ah, familiar." He said giving her a strange look.

Dani looked at Sam questionable, unsure how to explain. "This is Danielle, Dani for short. She's part ghost, just like Danny." Sam started.

"Now how did you become part ghost?" Jack asked.

"I was created part ghost." Dani said still unsure how to explain herself.

"What do you mean 'created'?" Jack asked.

Dani gave Sam a begging look, pleading for help. "She was born in a lab." Sam jumped in for Dani. "Vlad's lab to be exact. She's a clone, of Danny." Sam said plainly.

"Vlad?" Jack questioned.

"He was trying to make an exact clone of Danny, but made me by mistake." Dani cut in. "There were a few other clones, but I was the only one who survived."

"So technically." Jack started looking very confused. "You share the same DNA as Danny right?"

"Well, yeah." Dani said nodding softly.

"So doesn't that make you my child?" Jack said softly.

Dani looked to Sam questionable. "I never thought of that before." Dani said unsure.

"Well, you're a clone of Danny right." Jack started. Dani nodded keeping an unsure look in her eyes. "And Danny's my son." Again Dani nodded. "Well doesn't that make you my daughter?"

"It makes sense to me." Sam said braking Dani train of thought.

"I suppose." Dani said still not sure on the idea.

"Well come here." Jack said excitedly pulling Dani into a hug. "So I've got two Danny's now." He smiled letting Dani go.

"I guess." Dani for the first time smiled at the affection.

"There's a smile." Jack said catching the happiness in Dani's eyes.

"Look, I hate to interrupt this touchy feely moment." Sam said braking up the conversation. "But I think we should probably try and get some sleep, we've got a good distance to cover tomorrow."

"Your right, I'm tired anyway." Dani yawned, stretching her arms over her head.

"Why don't you two try and get some sleep." Jack said standing up. "I'm not too tired, so I'll take guard duty."

"Are you sure?" Sam asked as Dani lay down next to a tree.

"Yeah, I'll just be over here so I won't bother you." Jack said sitting a little out of the way.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

After her tenth failed attempt to fall asleep Sam finally gave up. She rose quietly and started towards Jack who was sitting a few yards away.

"You should be asleep." Jack spoke with out turning around.

"I can't." Sam said softly sitting next to him. "You might as well try, I'll stand guard." Sam said holding back her soar throat.

Jack looked at the girl beside him; her eyes were fixed on the horizon before her. Though she tried to hide it, Jack could sense an unsettled emotion in her. She was fearful; he could see it hidden in her eyes. "You know Sam." Jack started getting her to look back at him. "Danny told us what Freakshow did to you." Jack could see the nervousness immediately enter her eyes.

"Oh yeah." Sam said unsure what exactly Danny told him.

"He scarred you." He added eyeing the scar that wrapped around Sam's neck. "Danny told us how he used a shock collar and hit you." Jack said nodding at Sam. Sam took a breath in relief that was all Danny told him. "That's what he told all of us anyway." Jack stopped not sure how Sam would react to the next part. "But I over heard him telling Tucker and Jazz what else happened." Jack stopped watching Sam's reaction. But Sam didn't say a thing, she turned away hiding her face. Suddenly her body softly shook and Jack could hear the small sound of crying coming from beside him. "Sam." Jack said softly placing his hand over her shoulder. Sam pulled away and looked at Danny's father, tears quietly fell from her damp eyes. "Sam, come here." Jack said quietly pulling her back to him, forcing her into his arms as she struggled to pull away. "Sam, it's alright." He soothed holding her tightly until she finally gave up, collapsing onto his shoulder, crying softly.

"Why?" Sam whimpered not moving from his comfort.

"I can't answer that." Jack said softly lessening his grip, but Sam didn't move. "What he did…" Jack stopped feeling his own tears fall. "No one should ever have to go through what you did. What he put you through was appalling."

Sam sniffled pulling away from his embrace, trying to regain herself, feeling embarrassed that she broke down in front of him. "Well I survived." Sam tried to brush it off hiding her fear again.

"Yeah, you did." Jack said placing his hand on her shoulder. "Are you ok?" Jack asked seeing the last of Sam's tears being whipped away.

"Yeah." Sam said softly. "Why don't you go try to sleep, I'll say up." Sam sniffled hiding her face in shame.

"I'm ok." Jack said looking back at the horizon. "But I'd like the company if you want to stay up." He said smiling at Sam.

"Alright." Sam nodded.

After a moment of silence Jack finally broke it. "So, Sammy." Jack smiled seeing Sam smile at the nickname Danny would call her. "You like my boy." Jack said happily getting a small laugh out of Sam.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Dani woke to laughter in the ghostly land. She sat up and looked towards the source of the laughter and saw that it was coming from Sam and Jack. "You two are up early." Dani smiled joining the happy group.

"We never really went to bed." Jack said yawning as he stood up. "Well since your up, we should get moving." He added offering his hand down to Sam.

"You know how to get back to Danny and the others?" Sam asked taking his offer.

"Well, no." Jack said sheepishly. "I thought we'd just start looking."

"And whine up even more lost. Not a good idea." Dani said giving him an odd look.

"I agree." Sam added. "I think we should continue looking for Aragon's hide out. Maybe he'll have a way of finding them. We can't waste time flying in circles." Sam finished seeing both of her companions nodding in agreement.

"Speaking of flying," Jack started rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. "How are we going to accomplish that?" Jack said feeling out of place being the only one who couldn't fly.

"You can ride with me." Sam said confidently.

Jack gave her a questionable look. "I don't think that's a good idea. You got winded very quickly last night having to carry me." Jack said softly looking down at his large chest. "And, no offence, but there's nothing to hang on to."

"First of all I got so tired last night because we had been already flying all day, not to mention fight off Nocturne's army." Sam said.

"And look around." Dani started pointing to the rundown battlefield they had rested in. "There's got to be something we can use to help make Sam easier to hang on too."

"We really don't have any other options." Sam added stepping back a little. Sam then transformed into her dragon half.

Jack stood in awe at her sight. He had always seen her, while he was trying to catch her. But seeing her up close was a different experience. "I've never noticed before." He started walking around her looking up at her silver wings. "You're a beautiful dragon." He said smiling happily stopping in front of Sam. Sam growled softly bowing her head, bringing it down to his level. "Your green stripe is the same green as Danny's ghost eyes." Jack added padding her head.

Sam smiled in her dragon form. Her parents hated her for it, but here was Danny's dad, who for a year has been trying to catch her, admiring her. Sam was happy at the bond that the two of them had quickly created. It was stronger than the one her parents had, and they had years to create.

"How about a belt." Dani's voice broke Sam's thoughts. Sam looked over seeing Dani floating back with a large belt in hand. "We can wrap it around you." She said dropping the leather strap over above Sam's wings. "Jack will have something to hold onto." She finished as she hooked the belt on. "See, it looks like those ropes that the bull riders use in the rodeo's. If they can say on an out of control bull using that, you should be able to say on a dragon." Sam smiled at her idea, but she held back the pain she felt. The belt was pressed tightly against her arms and she could already feel irritation against her scales. But it was really the only option they had.

"Alright, let's try." Jack said nervously standing next to Sam, unsure how he was going to get on. Sam was a small dragon, and he was afraid of hurting her. Sam growled softly and lowered herself a little encouraging him to get on. Jack cautiously climbed onto her back and sat just above her wings. He looked rather odd sitting on such a small dragon, but Sam had no trouble lifting him. She then quickly rose and flapped a few times, making sure he was going to be able to say on, but found that the strap restricted some of her small movements. "I think this will work. Are you ok?" Jack said gripping the leather strap not noticing Sam flinch in pain. Sam nodded giving him a reassuring look.

"Ok let's get going." Dani said rising up off the land. Sam growled follow suit. She flew slowly at first, making sure Jack was ok, but they soon quickened their pace to the point that Dani was having trouble keeping up.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

They flew for nearly a full day but as they entered what looked like a ghost asteroid field Sam slowed her pace, sensing something was out of place. Suddenly Sam came to a complete stop.

"Stop." Sam growled to Dani who was still floating around. Dani looked back to Sam and flew next Sam.

"What's going on?" Jack asked not knowing what was happening.

"I don't know." Dani answered quickly looking around.

"What did she say?" Jack asked again.

"I can't understand her. Only Danny can, I just know a few growls, and she said to 'stop'." Dani explained.

Sam cautiously flew forward a few more feet then came to a stop again above a larger rock in the asteroid field. "Were being watched." Sam growled knowing that no one would under stand her. She landed, hoping Dani and Jack would follow suit. Jack jumped off of Sam, but didn't move from her side. Dani followed, standing on the other side of Sam, not moving.

Sam then growled softly stepping forward a little, and then released a louder roar into the ghostly sky. Dani and Jack looked to each other not sure what was going on. Suddenly another roar answered. Sam stood up as high as she could on her back legs and again roared loudly. The unfamiliar roar answered again, then suddenly Jack and Dani looked to their sides, seeing ghost swarming out of the asteroids and started circling them. Sam stood firm as they watched a large black dragon rise from the asteroid field, landing in front of her, unleashing a load roar over Sam's smaller dragon body. Sam retorted by roaring even louder up at the larger dragon. Sam growled as the black dragon lowered his head, coming eye to eyes with Sam. Jack and Dani watched unsure what was going on. A few minutes passed as the two dragons continued to eye each other. Finally the black dragon snorted at Sam then back away. "The accursed dragon." Aragon's voice boomed over Sam. "What a surprise, you're alive." He said crossing his arms still staring at Sam.

Sam looked back to Dani. Dani nodded then floated beside Sam. "Aragon?" Dani asked making sure it was whom she thought it was.

"Of course you twit." Aragon's harsh voice responded. Sam hissed at his comment, bearing her teeth at him. "You've got some nerve." Aragon growled balling a fist looking back at Sam. Sam growled building up an energy ball in her hand stepping up to Aragon.

"Oh save the feud for later." Suddenly another voice entered. Jack watched still confused as another blue dragon landed beside the two. "Back off brother." Dora's voice commanded. Aragon backed off slightly but still gazed hatefully at Sam. "Sam, are you ok?" Dora asked forgetting that she wouldn't understand.

"We're ok." Dani answered perching herself on top of Sam's shoulders. "We've been looking for you. My name is Dani." Dani introduced herself.

"Oh…?" Aragon cut in again looking at Dani. "Did the ghost boy get a sex change?" He laughed.

His comment was responded by well-aimed fireball and a hiss from Sam as she gazed hatefully at the black dragon. "I'm his sister." Dani answered harshly no longer afraid of the situation.

"Ok, ok!" Dora said standing between the two again. "This is not the time or place for this." She said looking around. "We need to get back to the base, we don't want to get caught out here." Dora said softly. "Just follow us, we'll finish this dissection when we're in a safe place." Both Aragon and Sam nodded, agreeing with Dora. Sam then bent back down towards Jack, allowing him to jump on to her back. "It's a short distance from here, but be watchful." Dora warned taking flight. Sam rose beside her, Dani floated close to Sam.

"Ok let's get going." Aragon said leading the way, his ghost army following the dragons.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The flight was a short one, and they soon found themselves traveling towards a mountainous land. "Where's your base?" Dani asked not seeing any signs of ghost activity.

"Now if it were out in the open we would have been caught a long time ago." Aragon explained flying closer to the face of a cliff. Suddenly a wall of the mountain fell, reveling a hidden entrance.

"Wow…" Dani gasped finding herself inside a huge, high tech, base. Sam too was taken back by the magnitude of the base. She looked back at Aragon questionable. Who would have thought that a ghost that a few years ago was afraid of the future would be in charge of this technologically advanced station. The inside of the base was a complete reversal of the outside.

"This in incredible." Jack finally opened his mouth as they landed. "How did you build all this?" Jack said stepping off of Sam.

"I had help." Aragon said transforming back into his ghost form.

"Is that all we are, the help." A new voice entered.

Aragon rolled his eyes looking towards the two ghosts. Sam looked over, immediately recognizing the ghosts. "Technus, Skulker." Dani said acknowledging the ghost.

"Dani, and the accursed. Surprised to see you." Skulker said walking up to the two. "Last we heard you were captured by Vortex." He said pointing to Dani. "And you. You were presumed dead." He said pointing to Sam. Sam growled softly as she changed back into her human form, wanting to take part in the conversation. As she changed back the belt fell from her, exposing the ware spots on her back to the air, but Sam pushed back the pain, and knew that her sweatshirt would not show the blood she felt oozing down her back.

"And I'm surprised to see you on this side of the battle." Sam growled as she cleared her throat of the blood.

"Taking over your world is one thing, but taking over mine is another." Skulker answered.

"And Mr. Fenton, surprised to see you as well." Technus added.

"How do you know me?" Jack asked in surprise.

"I know your technology." Technus smiled knowingly.

"Your that ghost that took over my RV, then my house?" Jack stated recognizing the ghost.

"What can I say, I have a taste for Fenton technology." Technus laughed.

"So, now that the introduction are out of the way, what's to report?" Aragon asked moving up to one of the monitors changing into his ghost human from.

"Well, there is a large army moving northeast from here. The Fright Knight is leading it and, it looks like there following the same path Nocturne took a few days ago." Skulker answered bringing up an image of a rough map.

"What are they doing? It makes no sense." Aragon thought aloud.

"We just got done battle Nocturne." Sam added looking over the map.

"What do you mean?" Aragon questioned giving Sam his attention.

"Well, we just freed Jack." Sam started motions towards Danny's father.

"I was captured over two days ago by Nocturne. He attacked our RV. Then he was taking me to Vlad when Sam and Dani rescued me." Jack explained quickly.

"That must be where he's headed." Aragon assumed. "Was that phantom kid there?" He asked.

"Danny, yes, why?" Jack asked with a hint of concern in his voice.

"Vlad has been playing it safe, slowly taking down his stronger enemies one by one." Aragon explained. "I doubt he knows you're alive." He added looking towards Sam. "If he did, you would have been attacked by now. He's not dumb enough to let the 'dreaded accursed' roam free." He said rolling his eyes at Sam.

"So what's going to happen do Danny?" Jack asked nervously.

"We're not sure." Aragon answered. "We've got any idea what Vlad does with his captives."

"How far away is Danny's location?" Sam quickly asked.

"Not too far, about half a day." Dora joined in.

"So let's get moving, we can stop him." Sam said.

"Now wait." Aragon countered quickly. "We can't just go into battle exposing ourselves."

"Your just going to stand aside and let Vlad win?" Sam argued.

"I'm just saying that he'll find out that we're out here." Aragon said with anger rising in his voice.

"Isn't that the point of all this? To stop him!" Sam yelled, blood oozed from her lips as she strained to get her point across.

"You know she's right." Dora joined in on Sam's side. "If we can stop the Fright Knight and save Danny…"

"Absolutely not!" Aragon yelled turning his back on them.

Both Sam and Dora growled angrily. Then something clicked in Sam's mind. "They've got ghost weapons." She said softly whipping the blood from her mouth.

"Really?" Aragon said turning back to them. "Is this true?" He asked looking towards Jack.

"Well, yes." Jack answered. "We have our RV, and it's loaded with weapons."

"Well…" Sam smiled knowing she had won.

"We could use the technology to increase our own weapons." Technus added.

"Alright, but we have to be prepared." Aragon agreed. "We need to form an attack plan, that's going to take some time."

"What plan?" Sam said getting annoyed that they couldn't leave right away. "We fly there, beat the Vlad's army…" she was cut off before she could finish.

"And start a battle were not prepared for." Aragon yelled turning towards Sam. "I will not risk this strong hold just for your fucking half." He yelled glaring annoyingly at her. "So, yes, it's going to take some time to form a plan. Got it." He hissed in Sam's face. Sam said nothing; she just glared right back, anger radiated from her body.

"Why don't you guys get some sleep?" Dora suggested placing a hand on Sam's shoulder. Sam stepped back from Aragon and looked back at Dora anger still filled her eyes. "I'll show you where you can say." Dora said leading them out of the command room.

"You can't win them all." Jack said softly to Sam as they made their way away from Aragon.

Sam growled softly and looked back towards Dora. "So how many other ghost are here?" Sam asked as they made there way down a hallway.

"A lot." Dora said simple stopping in front of an entrance way to a large room. She motioned for everyone too look. As they peaked inside they could see that the large room was full of cots on the floor. In the cots sleep many familiar ghost.

"Desiree, Walker, Lunch Lady, Spectra, Bertrand, Ember, Youngblood, Frostbite, Pandora, The Box Ghost, Johnny 13, Kitty, Sidney Poindexter…" Dani muttered just a few of the familiar ghost in the room. But there were hundreds they had never seen before.

"I wouldn't have thought so many ghost would want to fight against Vlad." Sam said softly.

"Some had to go through Pariah reign. Most have only heard about how horrible it was. None of them want to exist under Vlad's rule." Dora explained. "Come." She started leading them away. "We have a smaller, privet room you can stay in." Dora said showing them to another room. It was about the size of a small bedroom, and instead of cots lining the floors, they hung from the walls. The room was only large enough to hold eight beds, four on each wall. "This way you wont be bother by any commotion." Dora finished stepping out of the room.

"Thanks." Dani said jumping on to one of the beds.

"Get some rest. We'll wake you when were ready." Dora said closing the door leaving them.
