Sam sat down on fallen log. He back was on fire and she was almost hungry enough to chance the mushrooms she had past a few feet back. "This stinks." She was hot, tired, and she was sure the sweatshirt and pants she was wearing stunk. She rubbed her small bulge that was her stomach. "This isn't much of a life for you." She sighed and pushed herself up. "Got to keep going."


Samurai tapped his foot as Johnny and Kitty emerged from the destroyed speeder. "What did you two idiots do this time to screw up?"

"It isn't our fault. You didn't tell us she had ghost powers." Johnny stormed up to the armored ghost. "And that collar of yours didn't work. Tucker broke free just long enough to aid in her escape."

Samurai's hand shot up in a split second and slapped Johnny down. He rammed his foot into the fallen halfa. "If she dies or if anything happens to the child she is carrying." He drew one of his katana. "I will slice both of your heads off."

Johnny slowly stood up. "I'm through taking your orders. Shadow!" His shadow transformed into a ghost. "Get him!" The shadow flew at Samurai and enveloped around him. The shadow started to squeeze around him. Johnny's hands flashed with green light. "Not so hot now punk!"

The shadow suddenly exploded off of Samurai. The red armored halfa shook his head. "I am Malice's lieutenant. Your simple ghost tricks won't work on me." His sword flashed with red light. He shot forward and sliced into Johnny. His sword pulled the ghost free from Dash's body. The teenage boy fell to the ground out cold. "My master gave you a place in his world and you spit it back in his face."

"Hey man wait!"

"Johnny!" Kitty flew at Samurai.

"Finish!" Samurai's katana exploded with red light and ripped Johnny apart. He vanished.

"Johnny?" Kitty fell to the ground. "Where is he?"

Samurai sheathed his sword. "I have sent him to my master's prison. He will rot there for the rest of his pathetic afterlife." He turned to her. "If you wish to see him again, you better find the girl and bring her to me."

"Why don't you find her yourself?"

Samurai's eyes narrowed. "The task is yours. I have my own mission to accomplish" A portal opened near him. "Don't fail again!" He stepped through and it vanished.

"I hate him!" Kitty stood up. "And how in the heck am I going to find her in this forest?" She heard a loud shout from the wrecked speeder. Tucker Tech busted out of it. He tossed the collar and it landed in front of Kitty.

"Your going to pay for making me attack Sam."


Sam stopped walking and leaned against a tree. Her breathing was labored and she had a hard time focusing. "Not now!" Her water had broke. "Not here!" She sat down and nearly passed out. She fought hard to stay awake. "Not now!"


"SAM!" Danny Phantom shot out of a portal several feet above the forest. He looked around. "Where is she?"

"Phantom!" Samurai appeared in the sky above him. "The Nightmare Blade belongs to my master. Hand it over!"

"Can we put this on hold? Sam is about to give birth."

"WHAT?" Samurai nearly fell out of the sky. "Where is she?"

"Nearby!" Danny looked around. "I can't get a clear location." He slowly scanned the surrounding area. "That way!" He shot downward. Samurai followed.

"Sam!" Danny landed next to her. Her eyes were closed and her breathing uneven. "You still with me."

She looked up at him and smiled. "You made it."

"Yeah! Now how to get you out of here."

"I will help!" Samurai walked over to the pair. "The girl and the child must survive." Danny reluctantly nodded. He sliced open a portal and both halfas picked Sam up and carried her through the portal.


In front of Amity Park General, a large portal appeared. Phantom and Samurai stepped through it with Sam in their arms. A few halfas were nearby just incase the girl showed. They took one look at Samurai and took off. The glass doors slid open and the two carried the girl up to the desk. The woman at the desk took one look at the pair and fainted. Danny looked to the red armored halfa. "You might want to change." Danny concentrated and his sword disappeared.

"Sorry!" A red energy ring formed and turned Samurai back into a human.

A doctor ran up. "What is the problem?"

"She is pregnant."

The doctor called and orderly, who brought up a wheelchair. "Whose the father?" Danny pointed to himself. "Good!" He helped Sam into the wheelchair. "Follow the orderly and get cleaned up." He quickly wheeled Sam down a hall.

"I'll tell the others in town to stay away." Samurai walked out of the hospital. Danny nodded and followed the orderly.


Danny stopped long enough to call home and leave a message on the machine. He quickly walked down the small hall and into the operating room. He walked passed a red haired nurse. "Sorry! You missed the birth."

"Yeah!" He should have waited on the phone call. He gulped at the sight before him. Sam was lying on the table with two bundles in her arms. She was covered in sweat, but she looked happier than she had in a long while.

"What took you?" Her voice was week, but still had the same power he remembered.

He inched over and sat down on a small stool next to the table. "Twins?"

Sam nodded. "Teach me to avoid a doctor. He said I was lucky that nothing went wrong." She lifted her arms up slightly. "You want to hold them?"

"Just one at a time!" Danny was afraid to drop them. His hands were shaking as he reached for the bundle, but stiffened up as soon as he picked up the small child. It was a girl with black hair. Her eyes were shut. "Hey!" He held the child close to his chest. The girl opened her eyes. They were brown. Danny smiled. "She is looking at me."

Sam managed a small laugh as the boy in her arms looked around with his blue eyes. "She knows her dad. And I hope you know him too."

"They're names?" A nurse appeared with a clipboard. Danny looked to Sam who thought about it.

"Lilith and Riker!"

"Riker?" Danny looked at Sam.

"I know how much you love that show." Both smiled and the nurse wrote the names down. Above them, an invisible Samurai had been watching for a few minutes. He smiled and phased through the ceiling.


Malice smiled as his lieutenant gave his report. "So there are two of them. Excellent! More than I could have hoped for." He stood up and waved his hands in the air. A large orb of green light and smoke appeared. "My children! The time has come."
