On with the story:

Danny threw up a shield after sending another ectoplasmic blast at Vlad, which sadly missed. Vlad started to pound his glowing fists on the shield.

"How did you get those off!" he yelled.

"Well," Danny smiled, "it was actually something you said to me that helped me regain my...proper state of mind." He shook his head at the words he used. Apparently the whole "elegant" evil thing still hadn't worn off. He couldn't help but let a grin creep over his face. "You told me that every good soul has evil in it. Thanks to Sam," Vlad looked over at the chair that now stood empty, broken ropes draped over and around it, "I realized that every evil person has good in them."

"But the gloves should have been able to overpower your ghost senses completely!"

"Vlad," Danny grinned and folded his arms, "I can use my ghost powers in human form sometimes. I'm always half ghost, but that would also mean, I'm always human...and my human side didn't want to be evil. It just took an extreme situation...dang those long words," he shook his head again. "It just took a lot for me to finally snap out of it. I couldn't ever kill my friends, and I couldn't let you kill my family." He shrugged as Vlad yelled and started sending blasts at him again. Danny ducked all he could, and tried to send several back through the shield, but nothing he sent hit Vlad, and Danny could feel the shield weakening.

"NO!" the black-haired half-breed growled at Danny. "Do you know how much it cost for me to get those made! Do you know how difficult it was to make the plastic bag that rendered their power undetectable!"

Sudden steps on the stairs caused both of them to turn, and Sam came down with a sealed bowl full of water, and a large pitcher. She took a look at both the ghosts, who now faced her, and gulped. Shaking her head as if to clear it, she set the pitcher down, and looked strait at Danny.

"Here Danny!" She launched the sealed bowl into the air, just as a red ectoplasmic blast sent her crashing into the wall. He caught the bowl and threw up the shield again just as Vlad sent another blast at him.

"Sam! NO!" Danny yelled and turned, glaring at Vlad. "You'll regret that," he growled. Vlad noticed his look, and stopped throwing blasts at him and rubbed his chin.

"Maybe this isn't a lost cause after all," he smiled. Danny didn't take his eyes off of him. He remembered feeling thankful that he knew his eyes stayed green. The last time he'd been angry in the slightest, they'd changed. He felt free now, like a great chain that had been holding him down was now unlocked. The thought calmed him down slightly, and he grinned back..

"Why don't we tell my mom about it," Danny floated so the shield was now covering both Jack and Maddie, and he opened the bowl full of water. Vlad blanched and growled.

"Consider the Truce reinstated,"he waved his hand. "But I'll will be back, son. I promise."

"Don't call me son!"the white-haired teenyelled as he watchedthe other half-breed disappear through theceling.As soon asthe billionairewas out of sight, Danny dropped the bowl (not caring where it splashed) and rushed over to Sam.

"Sam?" he asked, gently shaking her shoulders. To his great relief, she groaned and opened her eyes.

"Ouch," she winced when she moved. "My arm," she looked down, "I think it's broken." She quickly glanced around. "Where's Plasmius!"

"He's gone, for now," Danny smiled. "If you hadn't said that, earlier," he shook his head, "I wouldn't have come back." He looked over and smiled at her. "Thanks." She grinned back at him.

"What are best friends for?" His grin widened, and two bright rings grew from his waist. In a few seconds, Daniel Fenton stood before her.

"I'm going to leave you here for now," he said. She nodded and he continued. "Let me go and wake everyone up, and we'll try and figure out a way to explain this."
