Burn watched from the sidelines as Danny continued to keep a fair distance between him and Sam. "Now this is entertainment." Danny flew back so he was near the aquarium and Sam suddenly stopped. She turned towards the ghost and signaled him to join her. Burn smirked to himself and walked towards her. "Need help love?"

"Sort of!" She lashed her whip out and it wrapped around Burn's neck. "I need the power you got from the fire guardian." Before Burn could speak, the whip tightened and his head snapped off. Both his body and head exploded in flame and Sam's whip absorbed it.

"Didn't see that one coming!" Danny took a step closer to Sam.

Sam's whip erupted with red fire. "Much better!" She snapped the whip. It hit the ground in front of her and a wave of flame shot towards Danny.

"Crap!" Danny jumped over the wave. He pulled out two of his metal crosses. "Have to try and knock her out." He flung the crosses. The glowed with blue light and shot towards her. Sam spun the whip around her body and a wall of fire deflected the crosses. They fell to the ground half melted.

"Your toys won't work against me."

Danny glanced down at his chain whip. It sparked with light as if wanting him to activate it. Danny sighed, "Don't have a choice!" The whip uncoiled from around his arm and landed in his right hand. "Sorry!" He swung the whip. Sam leapt ten feet into the air and landed several feet away. "Working out?"

"I like to keep my figure!" Sam charged forward and attacked with her whip. Danny countered by lashing out with his. The two whips became entangled and formed a large knot of fire and chain. Both fighters pulled on their weapon, but they were firmly knotted. Sam dropped her weapon in frustration and shot forward. She caught Danny of guard and tackled into him. Danny was sent flying by the impact and crashed through the glass doors of the aquarium. Sam charged into the building, but Danny had vanished. "Stop hiding!"

Danny's hand shot out of the floor and grabbed her leg. She went intangible and Danny dragged her down. The aquarium had a lower floor with a large tank. "You need to cool off!" Danny flung her into the huge tank. She fell into the cold water with a large splash. Danny watched calmly as Sam managed to swim to the side of the tank and pull herself out. She fell three feet to the tile floor. Danny floated down and stood over her. "Ready to talk?"

Sam spat out some water. "Sure!" She spun on the ground and tripped Danny. Danny fell to the floor and Sam locked her legs around his neck. She started to squeeze. "Too bad you won't hear what I have to say."

Danny tried to go intangible, but the armor Sam was wearing started to glow with red light. He felt his power being absorbed from him. "The armor!" It suddenly dawned on Danny that the armor was not just metal and leather. Sam's vice move on Danny's neck grew in strength as more of his power was being drained. He summoned as much of his power as he could. He yelled out with his ghostly wail. It wasn't at full, but it was enough for Sam to loosen her grip as she held her ears. Danny rolled free and jumped to his feet. As Sam started to stand, Danny blasted her with a pair of ghost beams. She was slammed into the side of the tank and slumped to the floor. Danny took a few breaths and sat down. "Need to get that armor off her."

Vlad watched the fight on a large monitor. "He has much more strength than before. How could he have improved so much?" He reached over and touched a small crystal ball. "Time to up the hate a few more levels." The ball began to glow red.

Danny crawled over and tugged on the top portion of the armor. It seemed to be attached to her skin. He placed his hand on her chest. He started to recite a purifying spell. Sam's eyes suddenly opened and sparked with black light. A large bolt of red energy blasted Danny off Sam and across the room. She rolled to her feet. "Time to end this!" She rushed over to him and grabbed an arm and leg. She spun him around and tossed him into the ceiling. He crashed into it and fell into the tank. It was about ten feet deep and he sank to the bottom. As he started to swim up, Sam jumped into the tank and grabbed him. She threw her weight back and held them both at the very bottom of the water. Danny struggled to keep air in his lungs, as Sam didn't seem to care about the air lost. 'She is trying to kill both of us.' Danny reached into his reserves and a large sphere of white energy exploded from him. It forced Sam out of the tank and she crashed into the wall. Danny flew out of the tank and through the ceiling. He found himself in the main lobby. He collapsed onto the floor. "Nothing left."

Sam took the elevator and reached the lobby in less than five minutes. She was soaked, but still moving. She looked at the immobile Danny and then outside. She ran out and found the two whips still knotted together. She grabbed the whips and began to untangle them. The chain whip burned her hands, but she kept working.

Inside, Danny managed to look up. A large fountain with a large turtle statue was standing in front of him. The statue's eyes sparkled. Danny unknowingly reached into his coat pocket and found the blue gem. His fist tightened around the marble shaped gem and he started to crawl towards the statue. He managed to reach the statue as Sam finished freeing the whips. She tossed his away and ran back into the aquarium with hers. She brought it back and attacked as Danny placed the gem in the turtle's mouth. A large erupting of blue energy knocked the whip off target and filled Danny's body. He stood up as his eyes flashed with blue light. "Nice!" He held his hand out and his whip flew into it. "It doesn't hurt. The water guardian protects me from my own holy weapons." He shook his head, "Should have gone after this one first."

"So your weapons don't harm you anymore. I still can!" Sam lashed out with her whip.

Danny snapped his and the two became entangled again. Before Sam could pull back, Danny ripped her whip from her hands. He spun his whip in such away so that he grabbed her whip. "This is over!" Sam's whip turned into red light and was absorbed into Danny's. The chain whip erupted in flames. "Forgive me!" He swung the whip and it slammed into Sam. In a burst of flame, Sam was blasted out of the building and into the parking lot. Danny flew out and held her down with his hand. "I summon the power of the Belmont Clan." His hand began to glow with white light. "I pray to thee, release this girl from evil!" In an explosion of white light, the armor on Sam shattered and vanished. "Finally!" Danny took off his coat and covered Sam up. "Sam?"

"Danny!" The girl blinked several times. She was back to her old self. Before Danny could responded. A large cloud of giant ravens dropped from the sky. They crashed into Danny and forced him back. A large man-like creature with large black wings landed in front of Sam.

"Karasuman!" Danny yelled at the demon lord.

"So close!" The demon picked Sam up. "And yet so far!" He shot into the air at high speed. Danny tried to give pursuit, but the ravens delayed him enough for the demon to get clear.

"SAM!"

Vlad put on a blood red robe as Karasuman landed in the roof of his tower. The top of the tower was a large circle with a red pentagram on it. Large pointed statues stood at each point and a stone table was at the very center. The demon lord of ravens laid the semi awake Sam onto the table and strapped her down with ankle and wrist cuffs. "Very good!"

"My lord!" The demon bowed and backed away.

One of Vlad's fingers grew sharp and he drew some blood from his wrist. He drew a pentagram on Sam's forehead with the blood. "It is time! The portal to Hell will open and the power of Dracula will be mine."
