Hmmm...no replys. Therefore, I must leave you with yet another torturous cliffhanger...sigh you were warned.

"We could go over the details later," Vlad grinned. "First," he glided past Danny, and stood over the still unconscious Jack. "I do want to take care of a problem."
"Okay," Danny replied witha shrug. Sam glanced up at the tone in his voice. For the first time since he'd transformed, he sounded uncertain. Apparently, Vlad caught the waver as well.
"You do realize," he glanced back at Danny, "that if they will not join us, they must be destroyed."
"Yes, I know," Danny said, again the uncertainty laced his words.
"Daniel,"the older man turned around and faced the floating teen. "They're an obstacle to ultimate power. The obstacle must be eliminated."
"We'll NEVER join you!" Sam hissed. Vlad shook his head sadly.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." He glanced up at Danny. "Daniel, would you do the honors?" He turned back to Jack. "I'll tie up this loose end, and you tie up that one." His hands started to glow, as did Danny's. Sam watched, unbelieving as he floated closer and closer to her.
"I'm sorry, Sam," he said. She shook her head.
"No...Danny, I'm your best friend! You wouldn't do this! This isn't you!"
"Oh," Vlad laughed out loud, "but it is." He watched Danny for a few moments. "Those wrist guards don't give him anything that he doesn't already have, except more power." He glanced back at Jack.
"You're wrong!" Sam shrieked, near hysteria. "Danny, everyone makes bad choices! Everyone has evil in them, but you become who you are when you either choose to give in, or overcome! This isn't you! You overcame!" The red surrounding his hands glowed stronger and he shook his head.
"I'm sorry, Sam," he said again. She grimaced, and closed her eyes, waiting for the blow. In the background, she heard Vlad say something, and then the blast came.
