Sam looked up into the night sky as she sat down on the balcony at her bedroom window. She still couldn't believe that her grandmother had passed away just the other evening. She looked down at the picture of her and Ida when she was seven and smiled sadly.
Danny then flew onto the balcony and changed into his human form. He sat down on a chair beside her and asked, "Sam, are you okay?"
Sam nodded and then answered, "I'm fine….or at least I will be eventually."
Danny hugged Sam close and she leaned into his shoulder as he said, "I'm really sorry about your grandmother Sam. She was a really awesome and kind woman."
"You know, she was the first one to accept my Goth status. When I came out and my parents didn't accept it, she stood up to them and told them to leave me alone and let me be myself." Sam said, remembering her grandmother. "It's so hard. I keep expecting her to come into my room at any moment to come in and check on me, ask me how you and I are doing and what I'm up to. But she won't know. She's gone."
"But she will always be with you Sam. No matter what." Danny said, comforting his girlfriend.
Some tears fell from her eyes. She then asked hesitantly, "Danny….is there any chance that….she might have…ended up in the Ghost Zone? That she came back as a ghost?"
Danny looked down sadly and answered, "Clockwork once explained to me and Dayla that though a ghost can actually form and appear into the Ghost Zone naturally, other ghosts are created when someone dies and they have regrets, obsessions or unfinished business that cane make them a ghost. I actually checked the Ghost Zone today to see if there was any chance she had come back as a ghost. Your grandmother didn't have any obsessions or unfinished business or anything else that could make her come back as a ghost."
Sam nodded in understanding and then said as she started crying once again, "I miss her so much Danny."
"I know. We all loved her, but you and your parents have lost more than any of us." Danny said as he pulled her into a hug. "But remember, you are never alone in this. All of us are here with you."
Sam hugged him back and continued to cry, Danny never let go and continued to comfort his girlfriend during this sorrow time.
Meanwhile back at the lab where Venelope and Vlad were hiding. Vlad finally said, "It's time to take what's mine and have my revenge."
He held the Staff of Dreams high in the air and made his wish, "Staff of Dreams, I wish for my ghost powers to return and I wish for my own powerful ghost shadow army!"
The staff began to glow and then suddenly, Vlad was hit by a beam of energy that came from the stone that was on the staff. He could feel his powers returning and laughed as hundreds and thousands of shadow ghosts started forming around him and Venelope.
The beam of light shot right through the roof and into the air of Amity Park.
Sam and Danny saw the beam of light and could hear the sounds of Vlad's laughter echoing in the air.
"Oh no! Vlad's already making his move!" Sam exclaimed.
Danny's phone rang and he answered it to hear Dayla say, "Danny! Are you seeing what I'm seeing?!"
"You mean that beam of energy and Vlad's laugh? Yeah! He's already making his move and it looks like he's gonna make it right in the middle of town." Danny answered. "Call Annaya and tell her that we're gonna need her, her army and our allies here in Amity Park now and then get ready and meet me and Sam in the town centre."
He hung up and then turned to Sam as he said, "Sam, you don't have to fight tonight."
Sam however walked over to her closet and grabbed out her battle suit that Jack and Maddie made her. She quickly ran into the bathroom and changed into it, came out and strapped on her Fenton Wrist Ray and stood ready.
"I know I don't have to fight, but I want to. I'm staying beside you no matter what." Sam said in determination.
Danny smiled at her and changed into his ghost form as he said, "Then let's go."
As Sam and Danny arrived at the centre of the town, Dayla, Dani and Dale arrived in their ghost forms, Sonya, Valerie, Andrew, Jazz, Jimmy and Tucker arrived in their battle suits and weapons and Jack and Maddie arrived with the RV.
They suddenly watched as shadow ghosts appeared in the sky above them and they all gasped to floating beside Venelope in her ghost form was none other than Vlad Plasmius himself, ghost form and all.
"I'm back Amity Park." Vlad announced with a grin.
"It's official. I really hate powerful ancient objects." Danny groaned.
"No doubt about that bro. No doubt about that." Dayla agreed as they continued to stare at their old arch enemy.
