Sam yawned and stood up. Sunlight was shinning through the cave opening. She walked through the entrance and spotted Fright Knight a few feet away. He was standing in front of a large green carriage drawn by two green glowing horse skeletons. "Ok!" She walked up to him. "I'm a goth and I still find this a bit on the creepy side."

"It is the best I could do!" He opened the carriage door. "It will take five hours to reach Amity Park. So please make yourself comfortable." Sam got in and found the interior nice. A large cushioned bench and a small table with a bowl of vegetables.

"Not bad!" She sat down and Fright Knight closed the door.

He summoned his large ghost horse with wings and jumped on. "We are off!" Fright Knight flew into the sky on his horse. The skeleton horses pulled the carriage into the air and followed.


After two hours, Fright Knight suddenly stopped over a large forest area. Sam stuck her head out of the carriage window. "What's up!"

"That vehicle you and your friends use. It is approaching!"

"The Specter Speeder!" Sam spirits rose as the large silver vehicle flew into view and stopped. It hovered near the carriage and the door on the side slid open.

Tucker stuck his head out. "Hey! I was just coming to rescue you."

"How did you know where I was?"

"Danny called, said I should back him up." He looked at Fright Knight. "What is with him?"

"Long story!"

"I'll be glad to hear it. I passed a clearing about a mile back. We can land and talk there."

Fright Knight and the carriage followed The Specter Speeder down into a large grassy clearing in the middle of the forest. A large pond was near the center. Sam stepped out of the carriage and hugged Tucker as he jumped out of the speeder. "How is everybody?"

Tucker managed a small smile. "Things are rough, but so far so good. I managed to save a few people." Tucker waved and two people jumped out of the speeder. A tall teenage guy in a team jacket and a teenage girl with dark skin.

"Dash! Paullina! Why are they with you?"

"I filled them in. I needed back up badly."

"We wanted to help." Dash stepped up. "I wasn't going to stay on the sidelines for this one."

Fright Knight nodded. "My work here is finished. You three can see to the girl's safety."

"Not a problem!" Paullina took Sam's hand. "We can like go shopping for baby clothes."

Sam forced a small smile and hid her disgust. "Sure!"

Fright Knight mounted his winged horse. "Tell Phantom that my debt is repaid." He flew into the sky and out of sight.

"Thank you!" Sam waved as he flew off. She let Paullina lead her into the speeder. Dash and Tucker sat down in the cockpit and they took off.


They flew for about an hour before Sam's stomach rumbled. "Sorry! I haven't eaten today." Paullina ignored her as she fixed her makeup. Sam got up and moved to the small fridge. The one thing she liked about Danny's dad outside of the fact he made her laugh, were his snack habits. The fridge was full of sweats and other things. She grabbed a small piece of chocolate cake and munched on it as she walked to the cockpit. Dash was flying as Tucker played with a red collar around his neck.

Dash looked over and grumbled. "Stop playing with it!" He pulled out a small remote and pressed a button of it. The collar flashed with red light and Tucker stopped messing with it. "Now behave!"

Sam's dropped the cake and slowly backed away. "See something that you shouldn't have?" Sam spun around. Paullina was standing in front of her. Her eyes glowing with red light.

"Damn it!" Dash jumped to his feet. "Now we have to restrain her."

"Who are you?"

Dash shrugged. "Guess hiding won't do anymore good." A ring formed around him and turned him into Johnny 13. "Miss me!"

Paullina transformed into Kitty. "Malice will be pleased when we present you to him."

"Kitty! When did you join him? I thought you were my friend."

Johnny grabbed Sam's shoulders and sat her down. "She is by my side now." He pointed to Tucker who was flying the speeder. "So is he!" He stood up and crossed his arms with a confident look on his face. "Everyone who could help you are now under my master's control."

Sam shook her head and sighed. "I am tired of people assuming that I can't take care of myself." Her hands burst with white light and she slammed them into Johnny's chest. Beams of white light blasted the halfa back and he slammed into the side of the speeder.

"When did you learn that trick?" Kitty floated over and tried to restrain Sam.

"Learned it after you ditched me." Sam managed to blast the girl back and move to the back.

Tucker set the autopilot and stood up. "Your not getting away!" A ring formed around him and he transformed into his ghost form. Four metal tentacles shot out of his back and flew towards Sam. Sam held her hands up and a white energy barrier formed. The tentacles bounced off the barrier. "You have gone through some changes."

"No more than you. What happened?"

"I did what was necessary to survive." His eyes turned from red to green. "Run Sam! I can't control myself." His hands gripped the collar and pulled at it. His eyes flashed red and the tentacles tossed themselves around the speeder.

Sam grabbed a parachute and opened the main door. She ducked as a tentacle flew over her head and smashed a console apart. "I'll find a way to save you." She took a deep breath and jumped. She pulled the ripcord and the chute opened. "A pregnant person shouldn't have to go through this." She watched as The Specter Speeder flew erratically and crashed into the forest bellow. She rubbed her tears away as she thought of Tucker. Sam landed in the middle of the woods and threw of the parachute. "Now what? Call a cab!" She sighed and started to walk.


Danny's eyes opened and he stood up. He was deep in The Ghost Zone sitting on a floating rock. He had felt a sudden pain the back of his mind. "Sam needs me!"

"Does she now?" A transparent image of a ghost appeared behind him. "Maybe you should check it out." Danny spun around and threw his fist. It passed through him. The ghost chuckled. "That was pointless."

"Stay out of this! I won't let you harm Sam or my unborn child."

"And what harm could be falling her with you here?"

Danny gritted his teeth. Sam needed him, but his control over the body he now inhabited was slowly evaporating. The time to flip the coin had passed. Danny pulled the Karma Coin out of his pocket. A fifty-fifty chance. If he remained in control, he would have roughly twenty-four hours before the next flip. If he lost, he didn't want to think about it. "How about we deal?"

"Deal?" The image of Burn thought it over. "I'm listening."

"Let me control the body until my kid is born. Then after a month, I'll let you stay in control for the same amount of time. Our struggle for control is slowly ripping this body apart."

"A week after the birth."

Danny nodded. "Done!" The image of Burn vanished and Danny felt himself alone for the first time in months. Danny gripped his sword. "Hang on Sam!" He cut open a portal and flew through it.
