"No...stop..." Danny's voice grew fainter and fainter until he could not speak anymore. He was dying. . .
Suddenly, Vlad fell over, releasing Danny. Jazz was standing behind him, a large rock in her hands. Danny concentrated on what was left of his strength. He got stronger...and stronger...
"C'mon, Danny. We have to get Katelyn out of here," said Jazz, helping Danny to his feet. Danny nodded and turned his head to look at Katelyn.
"Oh, no!"
Katelyn was gone!
"Where did she go?" asked Jazz. Danny was breathing very hard. Suddenly, his eyes turned an icy shade of blue.
Someone was being dragged by a big, bulky ghost. A large crowd was gathered. Vlad was roaring with laughter. The bulky ghost heaved the person onto a table. He pulled out a black dagger and held it above the person's head.
That person was Katelyn.
"Katelyn!" screamed Danny.
"What happened?" asked Jazz.
"Don't ask me how, but I saw Katelyn. And she was in trouble!" said Danny. Jazz didn't say anything. She just grabbed Danny's hand and lead him out of the prison.
The pair ran through corridors, hallways, and more corridors until they reached a large room. They heard laughing.
"There it is!" whispered Danny. The group approached the room.
"Arrgghh!" screamed Danny, leaping into the room. Everyone's head turned toward him. A ghost was holding a knife an inch above Katelyn's head.
Danny threw a green energy blast at the ghost. It was knocked back. Jazz ran to Katelyn and tried to carry her out of the room. But Vlad was too quick. He smacked her across the face and she was flung across the room.
"Jazz!" Danny yelled.
A band of ghosts started ganging up on Danny. He super-speeded across the room (new power!) And grasped Katelyn's wrist. No one was getting her now.
"Give it up, boy," said Vlad, floating over to Danny. "It's all over anyway,"
Vlad sent a red anergy beam hurling toward Danny. He created a forcefield around himself.
"You'll never get Katelyn, Plasmius," said Danny.
"And what would I want with her? Her life is slowly slipping away," sneered Vlad.
Danny looked at Katelyn. Her heartbeat was very, very slow and could barley be heard. Danny looked down in dismay. But then he had an idea:
Katelyn's powers were slipping away when she gave Danny the kiss. That meant that if she was open to any ghost powers. . .
"Give me your best shot, Vlad!" yelled Danny. Vlad smiled and sent a purple blast at Danny.
Danny held Katelyn in front of him. Instead of receiving the blast, Katelyn absorbed the purple energy. Life slipped back into Katelyn's face. Her eyes turned back to their icy color. Her heartbeat was full and fast. She was alive.
"Katelyn..." whispered Danny. He could not believe that she was healed, she was not going to die.
Suddenly, Danny felt as though someone had taken away the cork that kept Danny's energy from spilling out. Green and silver mist started flowing from Danny's body and into Katelyn's.
"Wha...?" Danny didn't feel like all his powers had disappeared.
"Danny...I have my powers back," said Katelyn.
Danny understood now. When Katelyn kissed him, all of her powers became Danny's. But now Danny still had his powers, but Katelyn had her sacrificed powers back.
"Let's finish this!" yelled Katelyn. She and Danny sent beams of energy at Vlad. With two halfas, this hurt twice as much.
Vlad fell to the floor.
"We - shall - meet - again," sputtered Vlad. He snapped his fingers and the castle disappeared.
