Hello there, folks! Thank you all for the reviews, even though there weren't as many this time around. But that's life.

Okay, let's head to Chapter 14! Danny's currently waking up from his coma, but his powers aren't strong enough yet! What will our young hero do?

Danny heard something. It sounded far in the distance, even though the person speaking it was only a few feet from the bed in which he lay on.

It was Maddie. She was saying to Jack, "I can't believe this is happening. I at least wish Danny would wake up soon."

Danny opened his eyes and blurted out, "You can stop your wishing now."

Maddie and Jack spun around. They hadn't seen Danny wake up.

"Danny!" shouted Maddie as she ran over and hugged her son. Jack high-fived Danny. Danny returned it, but it looked almost as if he didn't want to do it.

"Jazz!" shouted Jack out into the hall, "Come here! Your brother's awake!"

Moments later Jazz walked in, "Danny? Are you okay?"

Danny shrugged, "A little tired, a little woozy, but yeah, I'm fine." He couldn't tell them his next spell would come soon. They would be crushed.

Danny asked them, "Where's Sam? I have to talk to her."

Maddie sighed, "Danny, Sam's in another room down the hall. She tried to kill herself when you were in her coma. Tucker found her and called 911."

Danny put his hand up. He knew what was happening. "Details later. Let me see Sam." He started to get up.

Maddie pushed him back down, "Danny, don't. You need to save your strength. You're in a crisis here."

"Move!" shouted Danny in irritation as he pushed past them and out the door.

Danny checked in the rooms he walked down until he saw Sam in another room. He saw Sam looking down at her blankets.

"Sam?" said Danny.

Sam's eyes spun toward the door. Surely she did not hear her beloved Danny, alive and awake?

But indeed he was.

"Danny!" Sam cried in joy as she ran over to him and kissed him, and then threw her arms around him. "I'm so glad you're alright."

Danny released her and said, "I'm alright now, but there's a lot going on, and I don't have much time to explain."

"What's going on?"

Danny told her everything that happened while he was in his coma: meeting Neveah, training with her, finding out why the spells were happening, what had happened while he was gone, the new powers he had learned, and what he needed to do to stop the spells from taking control of him for good.

"So," said Sam, "If you get your power level up to red, the spells won't be able to affect you?"

"Exactly. But I still have to learn that ectoplasmic energy blade, and I don't have a lot of time."

"Danny, we have to go. We have to get you somewhere where you can train."

"Where can we go?"

Sam thought, and said, "Your house. There's no one there right now."

"Okay," agreed Danny, and then he went ghost. He then grabbed Sam, turned them both intangible, and flew them both out through the wall.

Moments after they left, Jack walked in and said, "Danny, you should probably…" No one was there. "Danny? Sam? Suffering Spooks! What happened? Where did they go?"

Danny flew into his house and down into the basement where the portal was. Danny looked around, "Not as big as the training area Neveah had for me, but it will have to do."

"So do you know what you have to do?" asked Sam, looking worried.

"Basically. I just have to be able to converge ectoplasm into my arm, and form it into a blade. But this will be tough. I haven't even seen Plasmius do it yet."

"Well, you've got to try. You don't have a lot of time."

Danny sighed, and then he held out his right arm and tried to form a blade in it. Danny was confused for a while because he wasn't sure what he was doing.

Danny groaned, "Let's see. What can I do? Well, Neveah told me that whatever power I was trying to make, I had to think of something that resembled that power."

Sam thought this over. "What is something that resembles a blade? A sword, a knife, a…"

"Sam," said Danny, "Please don't say knife. Just hearing the word 'knife' reminds me of you trying to commit suicide."

"I'm sorry, Danny," said Sam, "I just wanted to be with you. I was sure you would die."

"Well, for now, I'm not. Now let me concentrate."

Danny again held out his arm and tried to form the ectoplasmic blade. He tried to think of something, but nothing sharp came to mind that he believed would help him.

Danny sighed as he put his arm down. "What can I do?" he asked Sam, "I can't think of anything sharp that could possibly help me concentrate well enough."

"I guess the only thing you can do is keep trying. But Danny, just remember this."

"What?"

"No matter what happens to you, don't forget that I will always love you."

Danny smiled, "I know, Sam. I love you too."

"Whether you are on this Earth, in heaven, or in some alternate dimension that I don't know where it is, you will always be the one I truly love. And I know you can do this, Danny. I've been with you long enough to know that no matter what obstacle there is, you can always overcome it standing up."

Danny hugged Sam, "Thanks a lot, Sam. If I go, it will greatly warm my heart hearing you say that."

Sam shook her head, "You're not gonna go, Danny. I just know it."

"Let me make it definite," said Danny and he again held out his arm. He tried again to create the blade, but he still just couldn't make it. Danny was getting frustrated. If he was still with Neveah, he might have mastered it by now. Why couldn't he have been unconscious for only ten more minutes?

Danny stood back and prepared to try once again.

Just then, Danny started holding his head.

"Danny?" said Sam, fearing the worst.

"Oh, no…" said Danny and he started clutching his chest.

Just like in the hospital the other day, it hit Sam just like a thousand knives piercing her flesh. Danny was having the spell…for perhaps the final time…

Danny groaned in pain, "This is it…I'm done for…"

"Danny, no!" shouted Sam as she ran over to Danny.

Danny fell down onto the floor. He was still conscious, but he appeared to be in a lot of pain.

Sam got down by his side, saying, "Danny, no! Please, you can't go!"

"I'm sorry Sam," Danny jerked in pain, "I tried, but I just ran out of time."

"Oh, but Danny, I…I…" Sam's voice trailed off as she leaned in and started kissing Danny. She kept it going long, knowing this may be the last time she ever did it…

BIG TIME CLIFFHANGER! Danny has encountered the spell once again, and it looks like nothing can save him now. Could his time finally have come? Will he be able to survive? Sorry I'm being EXTREMELY evil today, but you're gonna have to wait. Review, and the wait shall be short.
