Before anyone could react, the pair of males were thrown back, their bodies hitting the door to the lunchroom, the riot of students falling silent at the sudden rage from the ghost. "SAM!" Danny screamed as he scrambled to get back up as the Goth began to yell, her anger and fear intermingling as one. Tucker just sat there in shock as his friend rushed to aid their other friend, the mass of students screaming now in fear as the doors opened to reveal the ghost holding the Goth for only seconds before the two vanished from sight. The techno geek rushed to find the male halfa standing in a now empty area, the Goth still heard as she cussed at the ghost holding her captive.
"We can find her Danny," Tucker stated, his friend turning on him in an instant, those blue eyes turning green.
Somewhere else in the school stood a very angry ghost, the Goth sitting before her encased in a large pile of meat. "What made you think that you could change the menu?" the angry spirit asked, her now grandmotherly appearance gone as her body flared with power. "Lunch is sacred!" Sam's whole body shook in fear, the realization that she was yet again in the hands of another ghost bringing up the fear she had felt at the hands of Vlad and in that instant her whole body went clear, her form sinking into the floor to the shock of her captor. The raven haired halfa found herself in the basement, the heat from the furnace warming her now chilled skin, but she didn't care. She was in shock, her body still trying to go thru the floor.
The lunch lady ghost could be heard raging above her, but to her all the sounds were gone, all the senses muted as she saw herself in those dreams, those visions that Danny had come to help her. Where was her friend now? Why was she being abandoned again?
"Sam! Sam, where are you?!" Blinking the Goth became tangible, her body solid again, abet frozen on the spot as she looked around her for the source of Danny's yelling.
"Danny! I'm he-" her voice was cut off as she clamped her hands around her lips, the fear that the ghost would find her causing her to silence herself. She didn't know what to do. She wanted to tell the other halfa where she was, but at the same time she was afraid for the female ghost to find her again. "Curse that bastard," she muttered behind her hands. Why was she letting him rule her? He was gone! He was dead and while the ghost above her had frightened her, the lunch lady wasn't Vlad! She wasn't as powerful as the evil halfa had been! Sam looked down at her hands to find her hands glowing slightly with power. It was like her other half was trying to get her attention, to tell her something, but what was it telling her? You can fight her! Blinking at the sudden voice coming out of nowhere. She looked around, noting that she was still alone. Just call on it, the power to be something that can fight. Call on the power? The ghost power? That was it! She could fight with the ghost power, but she only knew how to do one thing, well, two things and neither of those were fighting powers! "How do I do this?" Then it came to her. Maybe her powers were like Goku's in one sense, but more like how Peter Pan helped the Darling children to fly. She closed her eyes, willing the power to take over, to help her fight back.
The cold feeling intensified for a moment, almost making it hurt as her body tingled, the feeling of goosebumps breaking out over her skin before she opened her eyes, the once amethyst orbs now a bright green, while her clothing had changed to the hazmat suit from that day. She was shocked by the change, her mind almost unable to comprehend what had happened, but it only lasted for a moment as she grinned in triumph. She had done it! As she moved to head back to the ghost, her vision swam for a split second and while she wanted to stop and allow it to pass she pushed herself to keep going. The feeling was gone anyway so taking flight she rushed thru the floor to face the ghost of the lunch lady, the ghost very surprised to see her, but only for a moment. Her eyes narrowed, the flashing almost hypnotic as she roared her anger at seeing the one who had changed the menu.
"You again?!" she bellowed before her demeanor changed again to that of the woman they had come upon in the cafeteria. "Do you want a piece of cake?" The Goth blinked at the sudden change and unable to think straight just shook her head at the weird request. "You don't deserve it anyway!" Her flight or fight kicked in and with a quick motion she slammed her fist into the older woman's face, the lunch lady caught off guard, but when Sam went to go after her again, her adrenaline kicking in, the ghost slammed into her, the small body of the Goth forced several feet away.
"Sam?" came a male voice. The raven haired female opened her eyes to find both Danny and Tucker looking at her in confusion, but when she heard the sound of the ghost coming at them again, she pushed herself up while at the same time trying to protect the two male teens behind her. While she fended off the ghostly female Danny was looking on in shock. How had the Goth changed to what they had been just yesterday? Could he do the same thing?
"Wow," Tucker breathed, his mouth falling open at what he was seeing, the male at his side closing his eyes as a voice came thru to him.
Use your power...Use that power to fight. What was that? His eyes opened, the air around them swirling, but unlike Sam's there wasn't a strong chill, the cool feeling more mild as his own body changed, the hazmat suit replacing his clothing as it had Sam. His green eyes glowed brightly, the feeling of power almost making him feel hyped up like several cups of coffee. He rushed forward, the speed of his body almost too much to control as he began to aid his friend in fighting back the woman before them. The lunch lady growled, her power flaring up again with such a flare that the two halfas were thrown back into Tucker, the other male knocked into a wall. Before the trio of teens the lunch lady cried out, her anger echoing around them as the boxes that contained so many meat products that would put the male behind them on cloud nine flew high above them, a swirling vortex of meat.
"What is she doing?" Sam asked, her eyes wide, the halfa at her side shaking his head.
"Whatever she's doing doesn't look like we're going to enjoy it," he stated. Indeed that would be the case as all the products flew at the lunch lady, blending together like pureed meat, the woman in the middle smirking like the Joker as she disappeared in the meat. As it encased her body Danny shoved both friends back, fear for their safety making him react without thinking. Sam wasn't one to take it and while Tucker did cower back a bit as the lunch lady became a much larger monster made entirely of meat, the Goth took her spot next to Danny.
"I'm not going to back down," she hissed. "We're in this together." Neither knew how they were going to fight this monster when they had not real powers to fight back, but they weren't going to let this ghost have her way. Danny nodded, though after the way the Goth had been feeling he was torn on whether he should let her fight or not, but the look she threw his way put a stop to that thought. As the female apparition towered over them the pair took a step back, their necks craning to see her looking down at them, her grin even more creepy in her meat encasement.
"Time to serve you your recommended dose of punishment!" She reached out, her meaty hands grasping at them, the pair moving, though with the speed that Danny had he was able to dodge, while Sam was unable to move as fast, her small form knocked into a box of meat. The lunch lady turned her attention to Tucker, the male taking a step back in fear as Danny turned back to rush at the monster, his foot aiming for her head. It was as if she could feel him coming, her head swiveling to look at him as her fist flew out to grasp at him. Grabbing the male halfa she tossed him just as fast as she had grabbed him, knocking him into the other male. Danny went intangible as he hit his friend, knocking both of them out of the room. This left the lunch lady's real target, the one that had changed the menu, but Sam wasn't down, her form flying out of the meat with a cry of attack.
Like before she managed to catch the ghost off guard and with a smack of her fist, she knocked the older ghost back into a wall just as Danny joined her. Breathing hard Sam slumped to the floor. The room was swimming again, her head feeling like it was a balloon and was going to fly away. The male halfa watched in horror as the lunch lady began to move, her meaty form losing some of it's girth, but his concern was with his fallen friend. Rushing at her he too began to feel the weight of his own body, the power of his ghostly half fading slightly. He needed to get them all out of there so with a push on those powers he grabbed Sam before turning and heading out thru the wall, his body and hers going intangible. He made one more stop, grabbing Tucker who was just moving toward the door to see what was happening. While still intangible he flew out of the school, Sam groaning as she tried to grasp at her head, the pain in her temples pulsing stronger. The halfa holding them was trying to keep his grip tightly on the two other teens, but even he had pushed it too hard, the trio slowing down and drifting lower towards the ground.
As they began to fall Tucker stated, "I hope you're not going to drop us." The Goth in his other arm de-transformed, her body going limp at the same time as Danny shot a look at his male friend.
"I'm trying not to," he said before the trio dropped from the skies, their bodies hitting the ground with a resounding thump as Sam's body slid forward, Tucker rolled a few times and Danny followed Sam's pathing. Tucker sighed as he looked at the two teens, Danny also de-transforming before his eyes.
"Oh, this isn't going to be a very good night," the techno geek muttered. What was he supposed to do with the two downed teens? Looking behind him he was glad to see that they had made it a good distance from the school so at least they were safe, but how long were the pair going to be out? Sighing again he began to move the pair, starting with Sam who moaned in her unconscious state. He moved the pair over to a tree, placing them with their backs to it as if they were just relaxing, the sun above him starting to descend. Looking at the time he noted it was almost two in the afternoon which meant all of their parents were going to get a call about the fact that they had missed the last part of school... Then again, with how that last part had gone he doubted that any of the students or staff were in the ghost infested building so maybe they were safe. Now he just hoped the pair would wake up before it got too late. "At least your parents aren't home," he said, though his own parents were they wouldn't care if he didn't come home right after school. They were at work themselves so he could stay and wait for the pair to come to.
