Hellbreaker, not sure if I can pull off that kind of comedy, but I gave it a shot on the training.

Eternal Silver Flame, thanks for adding the story to your alerts.

The next hour found the halfa standing in what could have been a grand stadium from the times of the Romans, but it was filled with what Frostbite, their leader, had referred to as the far frozen and most of them looked the same save for a few differences here and there.

"Um, is there a reason we have to do this in front of them?" Frostbite nodded. "You guys don't have entertainment very often do you?"

"No, and this is good for them to see the chosen one train." Sam sighed. Just great. She was live entertainment to ghosts while her loved ones were being used for a shiver that grew increasingly stronger every minute she waited for him to continue. "Now, I want you to concentrate on stopping that shivering." Sam told him that was impossible to which he explained why she was shivering. "Since you became a half ghost you have been keeping that cold in your body and with your soul separated in such a way there are two forms of your ghost sense making it twice as powerful to contain."

"My ghost sense is what is making me shiver? Okay, I can buy that, but how do I stop."

"You haven't been really using it so it has been building up so if you use it like it was meant to be used then that should stop the shivering."

"Okay, how do I use it if I am still trying to figure out my other powers and I can't even contain my transformed state for long between fighting and just standing there?"

"We will help you with your cold core, but you will have to work on the other half." That was just sooo helpful for the halfa who knew she needed both to fight this plant ghost.

"Okay, what do I need to do first?"

"Concentrate. Let the energy build up like a ball in your body before letting it out." Closing her eyes she willed her transformation before she let the chill in her body grow, the cold feeling making her shiver harder as a blue glow appeared wavering around her. As she felt it hit a point that felt was far enough before throwing out her arms to release it. A wave of blue energy flashed around her like a bomb going off and as soon it was gone Sam smiled as she found that she was no longer shivering.

"Wow, it actually worked." She turned to find that part of the stadium and Frostbite were all frozen in a block of thick ice. "Shit."

A few hours left to thaw and Sam found herself back in the stadium with less people than before, most of them having become afraid of being frozen again. Before her were five targets made of wood. Frostbite went first throwing his hands before him as they glowed with blue power. With another thrust several spikes made of ice appeared and each hit the bull's eye in the middle of each target. A cheer rose over the large crowd at his accomplishment.

Turning to her he motioned for her to take aim. She wasn't so sure this was a great idea but with a simple shove she stood before the target and following the motions he had done managed, with great difficulty to produce the same spikes, but these spikes didn't hit their marks as several screams of pain were heard from their audience.

"That's okay," the large snow ghost next to her stated. "They will heal." Next she was given new targets in the shape of the creature known to her as Undergrowth, but they were in different sizes and spread further apart. Frostbite did the move from before and spreading his fingers out further managed to hit the wooden targets in the heads and their stomachs.

"I don't know, I mean the other targets were closer together and I still managed to miss them several times in a row before hitting them. Are you sure I am ready for this?" He nodded. Sam turned and repeating what she had just seen him do managed to hit something in the head alright, most of the people to the sides of the intended targets. "Yeah, I knew that wasn't a great idea."

After several tries she ended up mastering that so he moved on to the last task for her to complete.

"Now you need to learn to use your eyes, just in case you are tied up or something," Frostbite explained before a machine to their right let off a sound just seconds before a round metallic disk flew overhead. Concentrating on the disk above him Frostbite managed to hit it, the blast from his eyes stopping it cold. As it dropped he turned to her.

"I really don't think that this is a good idea." Throwing her a look she moved forward, but as the disk was released she missed her chance and as it floated in front of her she blasted it. To the shock of all she managed to hit it, unfortunately she also managed to freeze a large group of the viewers. She looked to Frostbite thinking the snow creature would write it off again, but this time he was upset.

"Okay, now we really won't sell any snacks."

"Well I told you this wasn't the best idea! Who was the idiot that put seats behind the damn targets?" As the day continued the female halfa grew better, her speed improving and her concentration. To her shock she also found that she wasn't getting tired, her powers not draining her like that had before. Was she getting better?

"Okay, now it is time for you to head back," Frostbite said as he walked her toward the edge of the village some of the far frozen following at a safe distance.

"Can't I just stay h-"

"NO!" the group behind their leader cried before they ran off leaving a bewildered teen and a smiling snow monster.

"Fear is normal. Everyone experiences it in some situation no matter how big or small, but you, you choose to rebuke that fear every time you take on a ghost to protect those that are most important to you. You will find that there really is nothing to fear when you have someone to fight for. "

Sam nodded as she turned to look out at the Ghost Zone. It was nice to know that she had one ally on this side of the portal. Waving she took to the air. Within minutes she was at the portal and taking a deep breath she pulled it open, her white amethyst eyes taking in the darkness of her parent's lab. Holding out her right hand she powered up an orb, the green power giving her some light on the situation and what she saw made her stomach turn.

There were vines everywhere, the larger ones covered by smaller, newer ones and floating over them she noticed that that they were trying to cover the portal, but something was preventing them as they wrapped around it without touching the door. Moving past them she felt dread settle in her heart. If this was what her home looked like she wondered what the outside looked like and yet she didn't want to know. Phasing through the wall she found herself outside, the skies darkened as several of her peers moved past her, their green eyes lifeless as they continued their destruction on their town. Flying over them she was surprised when a very familiar RV sped past her as blasts were shot off, some of them hitting and others missing by mere inches.

"I shouldn't be surprised, but I am," the halfa said as the large vehicle took a sharp turn before disappearing from sight. Floating past all the debris she heard a voice, a familiar voice calling for her. Turning around she couldn't figure out where it was coming from, but she knew it was Danny, her other half. Seeing a rather large tree in the distance she was reminded of the doom tree from Sailor Moon and at the same time the tree of might came to mind. Flying to the tree that was, she realized, surrounded by purple flowers, well, technically they were flytraps but that was still a flower, that were the size of humans if not bigger. Flying over them she wondered what was in them and with a shudder she felt the chill filling her.

"Sam, so nice to see you have returned," a male voice murmured as Danny stepped out from the large tree, the trunk closed behind him as he looked to her. "I thought you were never coming back." Sam glared down at him as she took in his outfit, or lack thereof. Danny stood before her in nothing but what she assumed was a garden version of a loin cloth and nothing else, even his feet were bare. Sam blushed as she took in his half naked form. Even for a rather boy-like male she still found his body magnificent.

"What are you doing? You don't like vegetation."

"This is true, but I like this power that I have now," the male said as he held out his hands and a pair of vines shot out at her before grasping her legs, but before Sam could retaliate she found her hands bound and her body pulled toward her male friend. "I have the power to control like Undergrowth which means I can do what I want."

"That is not your power!" she cried out as the ice powers in her shot through her extremities freezing the vines attached to her. As she pulled her limbs close to her body the vines broke, the ice shards falling on the plants below them. Danny frowned. "That is just Undergrowth in you because you don't want to hurt me or anyone else."

"No, I don't want to hurt you, but I might like to do harm to others," was his response as she moved higher when she noticed the vines moving below her like snakes. "Join us." Sam shook her head as she powered up before shooting Danny's bare feet.

"I don't want to hurt you either, but you need to stop." Moving close to her friend as he struggled to break the ice she pulled him in a hug, that simple gesture making him stop. Reaching behind him her hand grasped the main vine holding him as her hand glowed blue. "You want to be free, Danny." Before she could release him though the ground below them began to shake, buildings to her right falling down as dust filled the air. As the dust began to settle a rather large and angry looking Undergrowth appeared. While her eyes were on the larger creature a rather large vine flew up and grasped her around her body from the neck down. As Danny watched, his mind loosing the mind control Sam let out a scream as the vine began to crush her body.

"You will make the best food for the children with your ghost powers and all!" the large creature cackled. Sam closed her eyes and as Frostbite had shown her began to concentrate as her bones felt the crushing of the vines. Even with the pain she managed to think of Danny and the fact that if she died now he would be stuck under that control, that all their families would be dead and human life would cease, but most of all she thought about Danny and with that she opened her eyes, the blue power coming from her eyes and her form as the vines grew a thick sheet of glass so did Danny who was still stuck in place from the ice before.

"I will never allow you to make me into food for your freaky flower babies!" As the vines shattered around her so did the one that had been controlling her friend. Sam rushed at the large ghostly plant, ice beams hitting him and yet with every blast he took, with every limb that she blasted off another one grew and it seemed that he never lost any power. Then it hit her. The roots. Diving below the large creature she began to shoot at the roots that held Undergrowth to the Earth. With each one she felt the ground tremble with him as he screamed out his anger. Suddenly she found herself hit, a large spike hitting her in the left shoulder.

With a cry she dropped down, her back landing on a large vine, but she refused to give up as she sat back up and continued to shoot. Above her Undergrowth began to shrink as he cried out his outrage. As soon as the halfa was sure she had done enough damage she flew out of the ground and took to the skies as blood oozed from her wound, the green and red mixture bleeding into the white on her uniform.

"Seems that you forgot the most important gardening rule!" she cried out. "You should never plant during the cold season!" Flying at him, his size half of what it had been just moments before, she slammed her frozen fists into him, his body falling apart before it regrew again and as much as it should have bothered her she just smirked as he did. "Just wait for it," she muttered just seconds before Undergrowth began to shiver as his form turned blue from the inside out. Just seconds later it was raining Undergrowth, the skies clearing up and the ice melting with the return of the sun.

"Sammy!" a voice cried from below her as several Amity residents looked around rather dazed at what they were seeing. The female ghost fighter smiled when she saw Danny, but as she floated down a stab of pain reminded her of the large splinter still in her shoulder. With a groan she fell to the ground. Just when she thought she would hit the hard surface Danny ran to catch her, his strong arms holding her as she looked to him with eyes filled with pain. "What happened?"

"Undergrowth, but he is gone now." Danny walked down the street, his feet crushing the green grass beneth his feet as he headed for Fenton Works. As he drew closer people stopped to look at them, the human holding the ghost teen who had saved them. Sam looked at the faces around her as darkness began to creep around the edges of her vision. "W-Where are you taking me?" she questioned as she felt her vision grow darker. Danny said nothing as he held her tighter.

"Intangible." The Goth realized what he wanted her to do and even knowing with her energy fading managed to make them go intangible, the pair falling into the earth.
