It is true that love can be all those things, but at the same time love is great and can overcome all. Trust me on that. I feel that at some point they would overcome that and learn to live with what they were given.

"She's a female," said Dash as if it was the answer to why women did the things they did and the way they acted.

"What the hell?" Danny growled as he turned ghost and headed off into the skies leaving Dash and Tucker to stare at his backside.

Danny flew high into the skies, his green eyes burning as he wondered back to what Dash had been saying. So him and Tucker had both known of the love that Sam had had for him, but no one had thought to say something to him about it! That made no sense. He was his friend! Then it struck him. Sam had never said anything about it either! She had trusted him with so much, but couldn't tell him of the love she had for him. How messed up was that? Dash might be right to a point. Females were strange creatures, but what did that say about men since supposedly that was where the female came from? Shaking his head he headed home to contemplate where the goth had gone. As he passed the school he felt something pulling him toward the school. What was that? His ghost form was pulling him toward him so he followed it as it hadn't been wrong before. As he drew closer he felt and saw as his ghost breath filled the air.

"Ghosts? Just great," the half muttered as he entered the school only to find more ghosts then he ever thought he would have to face in his world. The Box Ghost wandered by, his eyes watching the far hall as if waiting. What was he waiting for? Just then another familiar ghost walked by. Shadow? Where was Johnnie 13? Kitty was also missing! What was going on here?

"Leave me the fuck alone!" a female screamed in the distance, her voice full of hate and fear all mingling. He watched as the Box Ghost shuddered. What was going on here? Were they fighting a girl? "Listen here mother fuckers I will not help! Let me go! He doesn't care about me anymore so let me out!" Sam? He began to head past the Box Ghost when Skulker appeared before him.

"Hello Ghost Boy. Thought you might find us too soon, but not this soon." Danny glared up at the other ghost.

"What are you doing to Sam?" Skulker tilted his head in confusion.

"Sam? I do not know this name. The one we have is a new Ghost Child." He chuckled as the Box Ghost hovered behind him. "Seems that she does resemble the one that helps you, but she is a lot better dresser than that chick. " Danny growled. "Don't worry though. You will get to see her, but only after we are done with her. Seems that Undergrowth has quite an attachment to her. Something about she is his long lost plant daughter." Now, Danny was sure that it was Sam, not that he doubted that it wasn't, but the who Ghost Child thing threw him. Was she like him now? No! Sam had only been exposed to the toxins, but she had been normal when he had seen her. In fact she seemed to far healed, but had just marked it down as maybe she had fallen before the lab had exploded. Skulker lifted his hand to fire a blast at the halfa when a very familiar voice filled the air.

"Not today!" was followed by a real familiar beeping coming from Skulker's wrist.

"Fucking hell!" he cussed. "This again! I don't want to go to the zoo!" he yelled as his plane wings attached to rocket boosters fired up. As he cursed his revenge Danny turned to find Tucker and Dash behind him.

"Thought that you could use some help," the dark skinned male stated as Dash nodded.

"Thanks dude," he said as he high-fived the geek, but gave the jock a look. He still didn't like the jock and was afraid that Sam would find that the guy was a fake when he grew tired of hanging with her. Was that really what he was afraid of? Shaking his head he headed toward where the Box Ghost had been. "Seems that they have Sam, but they claim that she's a halfa like me."

"She might be." Danny turned to his friend in shock. "Vlad told the firefighters that he heard something and so he headed down to his lab. He said she was in the portal. The ghost portal that had broken. When Vlad came back his house had been trashed from all the people mad at him. He re-built it and was hoping to just blend in." Danny frowned. Like he would ever believe the other half ghost! Danny said nothing as he headed in the direction that he had heard her voice come from. That's when two more ghosts appeared before them.

"Youngblood," Danny growled as Tucker stepped around him.

"Ember," Tucker and Dash said as the eyed the teen idol. Not the best people to mess with. Youngblood was more danger when it came to adults or people who thought they were adults like his sister Jazz. Ember on the other hand could be a little more of a challenge.

"What are you doing here?" Danny asked as he took a step forward. The teal haired girl smirked as she shifted her guitar making Dash move closer to him and Tucker to take a step forward. His friend had not been there the last time when Sam and him had had to battle the rock star, but he had been there when the two ghosts in front of him had banded together. "Seems you guys didn't understand the last time about you teaming up. You suck!" He rushed at them as Ember went intangible and Youngblood dashed below him and headed for the other two humans. Tucker reached out and grabbed the ghost by his collar before hauling him to his eye level. Dash just chuckled as Youngblood screamed in fury and kicked his feet. Danny on the other hand had more a fight on his hand as the rocker became solid again so that she could strum her guitar. Sending a wave of energy at Danny she managed to hit the halfa and send him crashing into some lockers. Several of them burst open and their contents fell down on him. His green eyes flashed as he jumped up and rushed back at the idol. As she strummed another chord he turned intangible and running to her right threw a roundhouse kick at her head. The idol wasn't prepared and with a squeal was knocked to the side. Her guitar landed under her making it crack as her body landed on it.

"Fuck!" the rocker cussed as she stood up. Her eyes flashed at him as she chucked the ruined instrument to the side. "That was fucking wrong!" she screamed at him as she rushed at him. He had never hit her that hard. Sure, he wasn't nice in the battles, but he seemed rather pissed today. "That was my new guitar." Danny paid her little attention as he rushed at her again. She tried to turn intangible, but Danny did it first. It seemed that he could read her mind as she tried to go through the ground. Danny followed her. They found themselves in the basement, the air filled with steam and heat from the heater just feet away. Around them were pipes, several red hot pipes.

"Why do we have to end up in a basement every time," the halfa complained. Ember let out a growl as she charged at him. She managed to catch him off guard enough to throw him into a pipe causing him to let out a scream of pain as the smell of burning hazmat. He managed to go intangible so he was able to avoid an actual burn to his ghostly skin. Could a ghost burn? He wasn't sure, but he was sure that he felt the heat from that pipe. Coming back around he rushed at the rocker. She held up her hands, an energy ball forming in her hands.

Tucker shoved the ghost boy into the Fenton Thermos as he and Dash headed down the hall. This time they were stopped by the Box Ghost. Tucker sighed as he pulled out the Thermos again and holding out in front of him sucking the annoying ghost into the cylindrical container.

"Is that all?" Dash inquired as he walked next to Tucker. Tucker shook his head.

"They are just the weaker ones. We are lucky." Tucker liked Dash. He could see that the jock had been misunderstood. He had treated them ill and Tucker almost couldn't forgive him, but he saw that Dash cared for Sam in a very brotherly way and that was why Sam had connected with him. She was an only child and the attention that he gave her was what she had needed. Danny loved her, but when he was around the other girls his attention was divided and the popular girls seemed to win. It wasn't that she was not as important, but at this time Danny couldn't admit to his own feelings and Sam had yet to fully understand hers. She had thought it a crush, but it had morphed further. She had probably thought it would fade and that she would find someone else, but that had not happened. "We need to find her quickly. No telling what they are doing to her and if she is what Skulker said she is then this might be a problem. Walker would like to obtain her just like Skulker. I can't imagine that they just are holding on to her for no reason other then to make Danny come, but Skulker made it seem like there was something else going on." Just then the floors shook as a very familiar ghost appeared. Dash stepped back as Tucker followed suit. Before them stood Tucker Phantom.

"Dude!" Dash whispered. "Is that you?" Tucker shook his head.

So, how was that? I hope that the battle was okay. New to these ghost fights.
