-- Author's Note -- ::crying:: Thank you all for your wonderful reviews! I wrote this chapter with some help from Regrem Erutaerc, so everyone give him a hand for his great ideas. Now, what you've all been waiting for! The conclusion of 'For the Love of a Halfa.'
Chapter 12 Phase Halfas Strike Back
Sam had no idea what she was doing. I can barely stand, and I can't control my powers. How am I supposed to do anything?
Looking at Danny, his eyes pleading with her, she knew that she had to do something. I'd give my life to save Danny!
Raising the arm that wasn't holding her up against the mast, Sam gathered everything she had. All her power, emotion, and love. She focused them all and let them explode.
"LET HIM GO!" she screamed as a blast of light shot from her hand at Rurik. As the light engulfed Rurik things began to go dark. Slowly Sam started to slip down the mast towards the floor again.
Pain shot through her leg and she was sure that it was broken. "Let... Danny... go," she mumbled as she collapsed onto the deck. Everything went black.
---------------------
Danny had managed to break out of Rurik's grasp just before the light engulfed him. He flew towards the ground and landed with a thud.
"Oof," Danny groaned as he tried to get to his feet. With his hands bond he could do little more than wiggle around, however.
What had Sam done? That was no mere plasma blast, Danny knew for sure.
"Tucker, are you all right?"
"Yeah, I think so."
"Can you see Mandy?"
"No, I think she's still out cold."
"Great."
"There! I got it Danny!"
"Got what?"
"My hands untied," Tucker said as he leaned over Danny.
"Wonderful. Now untie me."
Tucker nodded and unbound Danny's hands. As Danny rubbed his wrists he looked around the deck. A few crewmembers had started to appear from below deck. They must have heard the fight.
"What did you do?" the Box Ghost asked pushing through to the front. "What about the plan?"
"Plans changed," Danny told him.
"Don't think your little plasma blast will kill me," a voice came from behind where Danny stood. Spinning around Danny saw Rurik's half mangled body struggling to get to his feet.
"Tucker, get Sam!" Danny shouted to his friend then he transformed himself in a flash. "I'm going ghost!"
"You finally show yourself. Don't think that you can defeat me, little hybrid. I have been around for thousands of years, your powers can't hold a candle to the powers I control."
"We'll see about that Rurik." Danny lifted off the deck and sped up towards the clouds. The pirate captain followed him, just like Danny hoped he would.
Glancing down, Danny saw that a fight had broken out among the crewmembers.
"Let's see what you're made up, Halfa," Rurik said as he shot two plasma blasts at Danny.
Danny threw up a shield and blocked one, but missed the second blast, which grazed his leg.
I can't let him defeat me, Danny told himself. He shot a blast back at Rurik, which the ghost easily batted away.
"I'm going to destroy you, just like I did your little friend."
Sam! Danny thought. It was then that Danny started to get angry. Rurik had hurt Sam and there was no way he was going to give in to his tricks.
Focusing his anger Danny shot another plasma blast at Rurik. This one hit, and ripped off more skin.
---------------------
Down on deck Sam was coming too. "Danny? What happened?"
"It's Tucker, Sam. He's fighting Rurik."
Sam quickly sat up. "What?" Her eyes passed over the fighting ghosts but saw Danny and Rurik nowhere.
Mandy motioned above them. Danny and Rurik were engaged in a plasma blast war. As the two fought Danny's blasts seem to get more and more powerful.
"I have to help him!" This is all my fault, Sam thought. I can't let him get hurt because of how stupid I've been.
"But Sam, you can barely stand up," Mandy told her now.
"I know that Mandy, but who said I was going to walk?" Sam asked smiling at her new friend. "I'm going ghost!"
-----
"I'm not giving into you Rurik! I swear I'll kill you for hurting Sam!" Danny yelled at him.
"Danny!"
Danny turned and saw Sam flying up towards him. Rurik took the opportunity to hit Danny in the back with another blast. As Danny began to fall Sam grabbed hold of him with her good arm.
"Sam, what are you doing here?"
"Helping you. We're a team, remember?"
Danny nodded, pulling away from Sam with a slight blush. "Come on, let's finish him off, once and for all."
Sam smiled at him, "Let's do it."
Then together the two Halfa each sent at plasma blast at the pirate. As they neared the ghost the two blasts merged together and formed a red blast that engulfed Rurik for a moment before exploding.
Danny and Sam were thrown back and fell towards the ship.
"Sam!" Danny shouted as he grabbed her and wrapped his arms around her. Then they slammed into the deck breaking a hole into it.
"Where's Rurik?" Tucker asked as he and Mandy pulled them from the hole they had created.
"Are you okay?" Mandy asked.
Sam was even worse for wear then she was before she had gone to help Danny. Both of them sported deep gashes on their arms and legs, and their clothes were nearly in tatters.
Black clouds were spilling from the spot that Rurik had been moments before the Halfa pair had blasted him. Tucker and Mandy pulled Sam and Danny over to safety.
Just as they reached the edge of the deck something came falling from the sky. It crashed into Rurik's cabin.
"You don't think that was..." Mandy whispered.
"I think it was," Danny mumbled.
The four teenagers and all of the crew watched on as the sides of the cabin crumbled in on itself.
"We did it," Sam said in a hushed voice.
"Don't be so sure about that," Rurik's voice boomed from where his cabin had once been.
"No way..." Mandy muttered.
"It can't be..." Danny gulped.
