Ch.12 Possession

Fully dressed Sam walked back and fourth in her hotel room, unable to sleep with her mind so troubled she pondered whether or not she should wake up Jazz, and discuss with her what she had seen. The image of Danny and Paullina kissing was still burnt fresh in her mind. Sighing Sam glanced over at her alarm clock-eleven fifty five, the midnight hour was close at hand. Deciding just to get on with it Sam headed for her door.

"Hopefully Jazz won't be too upset if I wake her up at this hour." Sam thought.

Sam felt a blast of cold air and wrapped her arms around her body, which began shaking uncontrollably.

"Funny, did I leave the window open?" She thought.

Sam turned and saw flashing silver, screaming she ducked as the enormous axe crashed into the door only inches above her head and sliced a few strands of hair from her scalp. Sam heard laughter and saw that there was a hulking being in an dark mask leaning up against the wall next to her window. Executioner pointed a beefy finger at Sam,

"Samantha Manson." He roared.

"What do you want!" Sam shouted.

Executioner reached into his cloak and pulled out a long sharp dagger.

"It's time." Executioner growled, "For you to pass on!"

"Get away from me!" Starfire shouted at the ghastly apparition in front of her.

Judgment dodged a emerald green starbolt and put himself in a collision course with Danny. Danny performed a roundhouse kick and sent Judgment flying into the air, Judgment quickly regained control and sent an energy blast down on Danny. Danny quickly went intangible and the blast of energy passed right through him. The titans weren't so lucky and had to dodge and duck the downpour of debris which followed the blast.

"It's judgment day!" Judgment shouted summoning his spectral energy and molding it into an enormous ectoplasm ball.

"JUDGEMENT DAY!"

"Move!" Robin ordered to his teammates.

Judgment released the ball and the titans scrambled to get as far away from the blasting zone as possible. Only Danny remained, Starfire took notice and turned to go back for him. Robin grabbed her arm to hold her back.

"We have to go back for him!" She protested.

"It's too dangerous! I won't allow it!" Robin shouted.

"What is he doing?" Beast Boy asked himself as he watched Danny.

Danny had an amused look on his face as the ball came ever closer.

"Fool!" Judgment shouted triumphantly, "You'll be vaporized and your friends will be all alone."

"We'll see." Danny thought, "We'll see."

"Get back here!" Executioner demanded reaching for Sam.

"No! Get away!" Sam protested and threw another vase into Executioner's face.

The vase crashed onto Executioner's cranium, whining he rubbed his head and turned away from Sam. Seeing an opening Sam dashed for the door when Executioner's hand darted out and caught her by the wrist. Executioner lifted her off of the ground and glared at her.

"You hurt me you stupid wench!" He shouted and flung Sam into the bathroom door.

Sam's body crashed through the door and she lay sprawled out, despite the great pain in her ribs Sam forced herself up to face her foe. She would not be taken willingly, if she was going to die, she was going to die fighting. Executioner rushed through the door with both fists in the air.

"I have you now!" He barked.

But Sam had other plans…with a swift kick she delivered a painful blow to Executioner's less protected body part. Whimpering like a baby Executioner doubled over and placed his hand on the bathroom toilet to hold himself up. Executioner turned to face Sam and saw something fly through the air.

"Oh no." He thought.

CRASH! The glass bottle shattered on Executioner's skull and the specter's head fell limply into the open toilet bowel. Sam watched as his body turned into a dense fog and disappeared.

"I have to warn the others!" Sam said to herself running out her door, "If ghosts are here trying to kill me, than there's a chance their after everyone else also. I wonder if Danny knows."

She knocked at Danny's door and when no one answered she began calling his name. Nothing. Cursing she continued down the hallway.

"Where could he have gone?" She thought, than she remembered-Paullina.

There was chance Danny was with Paullina, "If he won't warn everyone than I'll have to do it myself, now where's Jazz?" Sam decided.

Darting down several corridors Sam tried to remember Jazz's room number, "Was it 726? 346? 666? Great I can't remember, better find Tucker then."

Rounding a corner a skeletal hand dashed out from the darkness and swiped at her face, Sam stumbled and lost her footing. Falling down she found herself staring into the most horrible eyes imaginable. The creature let out a primal scream and leapt for her with claws outstretched. Fear taking over Sam fled down the opposite corridor and turned several corners.

SMACK! She ran into something blubbery and hard, an iron hand gripped her wrist. Mister Lancer dressed in a purple nightgown and hat held her firmly, Sam thought she would never be so glad to see the strict vice principal of Casper High.

"What in the name of Sam Hill do you think you're doing?" Lancer asked, "Do you have any idea what time it is? Running and screaming down the hallways, are you insane?"

"Mister Lancer please. We're all in danger." Sam reasoned.

"You're the only one in danger here!" Lancer barked, "In danger of getting expelled and getting thrown into a lunatic asylum!"

"Lancer please, that's quite enough." A gentle voice said.

Sam quickly recognized it, "Jazz!"

Dressed in nothing but a robe, Jazz unhooked Lancer's hand from Sam's wrist.

"What are you coming to her rescue now!" Lancer accused.

"This isn't how you get through to people." Jazz defended herself, "It just causes more tension and I'm sure that Sam has a reason for doing this."

"What's going on?" An angry Dash demanded walking towards Sam.

His angry mood quickly changed when he saw Jazz, and he lowered his head in submission and embarrassment. Paullina who had been following Dash stepped out from behind him.

"What's going on with all the screaming?" She demanded.

Tucker appeared soon after, "Am I missing something? I could hear Sam screaming from her room and when I went in there it looked like an atom bomb went off."

This added to Lancer's growing agitation, "Destroying private property also Miss Manson. I'll make sure you spend some time in jail also!"

"Would you just listen to me!" Sam shouted.

All was surprisingly quiet after and Lancer crossed his arms.

"Fine, explain to us what exactly is going on here."

Sam struggled to find the words that could explain what had just happened.

"I saw…a, a."

"A what?" Lancer asked.

Sam sense them all staring down at her, adding to her growing embarrassment.

"A ghost." Was all she could mutter.

Sam's response was laughter, groans, and worried glances. But by this time Lancer had had quite enough.

"Come on I'm taking you to the police." He growled and grabbed her wrist again.

"Forget that, take her to a mental hospital and throw away the key!" Paullina added.

"Hey Sam, was it the boogeyman?" Dash growled.

"Lancer wait, there's-"Jazz started.

"Don't start with me Miss Fenton!" Lancer snapped, "Unless you want me to report you to your college for defending a criminal!"

Tucker was going to protest when a strange gurgling sound echoed through the halls. Along with other otherworldly noises. Frightened Lancer stepped back.

"Is anybody there?" He called out.

"Anyone?"

Everyone grew alert to approaching footsteps, and then a scream was heard…

"Ready to give up?" Robin asked standing over Judgment.

The specters long dark robe was torn and his spiked crown was broken in many places. Ectoplasm poured out like blood on his many wounds, but the specter still managed to hang on to a flicker of defiance.

"Never!" He cried out, "You will never make me beg!"

Judgment leapt forward with his hands outstretched Cyborg who was closest to Robin shoved him out of the way just as a green flash of light erupted out of nowhere. When Robin fell to the floor he watched in horror as his friends body was flung about violently and he could hear Cyborg's chocked cries of agony as his body shook with compulsive tremors. All of a sudden Cyborg stood still and stood upright.

Only Danny knew the extent of what had just happened. And he stepped back and motioned the others to do the same.

"Oh no." He said aloud.

Cyborg turned to Danny, "Oh yes," He said in Judgments voice, "Let's see how long you last now that you're friends body and mind are mine."
