Author's note: For whatever reason. I can't seem to use the line break command. So I simply wrote in the scene changes.

Sam sat in a chair in her parents living rooms as Tucker and Jazz rounded everyone up. Sam's parents and Danny's parents glared at each other as they were sat down on two large couches. The goth girl waited a few minutes as the air cleared a bit before speaking. "I know that a lot has happened over the past month. And I wish that I had a better way to tell you guys this." Sam took a deep breath, "I'm pregnant!" The jaws of every adult in the room dropped. "I probably don't have to tell you who the father is." She inched back as the two groups exploded. Accusations flew across the room and the voice level raised. She waited a few minutes and stood up. "Shut up!" The two groups of parents grew quiet. "I am tired of you fighting with each other. I don't know what happen to Danny, but he is my boyfriend and when he is found, all of you better start getting along." She stormed out of the room.

The two families looked at each other for a few seconds. Jack coughed, "Well!" He tapped his foot, "We better get back out there and look for our son."

"Yeah!" Sam's dad nodded, "We'll see what we can do. Once we get the two together, then we can scolded them." All four agreed as Jazz and Tucker just shook their heads.

Flashback

"Danny?" Sam had her head on Danny's chest. The pair were laying in her bed.

"Yeah!"

She played with his budding chest hair. "You seem distracted. What is wrong?"

Danny sighed, "I'm just worrying about us. My life as Danny Phantom might put you at risk."

Sam nuzzled his neck with her nose. "Don't worry! I've told you that I can handle anything." Danny started to speak, but Sam shushed him with her finger. "That is the end of it."

End of Flashback

Sam sat up! She had went to her roof to think under the night sky. "Anything?" She sighed as she laid back down on her sleeping bag. As she started to drift off, a large green vortex appeared in the sky. She jumped up and ran to the edge. A large stream of ghosts where flying from the town and into the vortex. "What is going on?"

"War!" Sam spun around and spotted Vlad Masters standing several feet away. "Vlad?"

"I heard about your situation and came here as fast as I could." Vlad looked up at the vortex, "So they are running. Good!"

"Running from what?"

"The war of course. This place is about to be turned into a battleground. Halfas will soon descend onto this planet for the biggest battle in history. And you my dear are at the center of it."

"Why?"

"Malice is very fascinated by me and Daniel. How we became half ghosts in all. He figures that the both of us will take his research to the next level. And you carrying a child with ghost DNA is the preverbal Holy Grail in his eyes." Vlad watched as the last of the ghosts entered the vortex and it shut, "Run and hide. The halfas will fight one another to prove their power to their master, but capturing you will be an automatic win in his eyes."

"And you care about me why?"

"I have my own research to conduct on you and that child." Vlad turned into Plasmius, "You better leave soon. The first batch of halfas will be here soon." He flew into the sky and out of sight.

Ghost Zone

Clockwork watched grimly as events began to unfold in Amity Park. A pair of ghosts were floating behind him. Each wore white and each had a huge eye for a head. Clockwork looked back at the two observers. "It is happening again."

"This time with much higher intensity." One of the ghosts floated next to Clockwork. "You gave the girl a little too much information."

"Not enough to change things. She deserved to at least know the name of who was after her."

"Fair enough!" The other ghost nodded, "So what do you think the odds are?"

The ghost next to Clockwork rolled his eye, "Twenty percent! Malice will be much more eager this time around."

"Then maybe we should help them a little."

Both observers glared at Clockwork, "This doesn't involve us. We let the fact you interfered that last time pass, but we must remain neutral of this affair."

Clockwork nodded, "Understood!" The observer ghosts left. Clockwork smiled and floated over to a small table. A large gold coin was standing on its side. Clockwork picked up the coin, "I will remain out of this one, but the humans deserve a fifty-fifty chance." The coin vanished.

Hours Later

Sam finished tossing her belongings into a large suitcase and headed out the door. Her parents were still busy arguing with each other in the den to notice her. She loaded the suitcase into her black sports car. It had been a sweat sixteen present from her parents. It was originally pink, but her grandmother's gift was to paint it. She stopped for a moment. Where was she going to go? She leaned against the car, "Where do I go now?" She knew she needed to leave. The place was feeling less and less safe as time went on. She got behind the wheel and started the car. She drove off and didn't look back.

Malice's Palace

In a large throne room. Malice sat on a golden throne with dozens of people kneeling in front of him. "The time is here my children!" The tall ghost stood up and held his arms out. "We are the chosen ones. Those who embody the best of ghost and human. While I love each and everyone of you, you must prove your worth. And only in combat will you prove that you are worthy of standing besides me as I bring new order to the realm of man and ghost." The ghost pointed to a wall and an image of Sam appeared, "However! There are other ways to secure your place. This girl carries within her the secret to perfecting the art of melding human and ghost. No longer will I have to find compatible ghosts to fuse with humans. Bring me the girl and you will be raised to greatness."

There was a large cheer as the people around him stood up and clapped. "Long live Lord Malice!" The crowd was chanting his name.

Malice smiled, "Now! Begin!"
