"Tell us what you know," Danny growled as he held the defenseless ghost in his gloved hands. The creature looked into his glowing green orbs, its own red ones fading in fear.


Do you know, that every time you're near
Everybody else seems far away
So can you come and make them disappear
Make them disappear and we can stay

Sam could feel herself floating in her mind. Her body did not feel like her own nor did she like the feelings that it was telling her. It was telling her that she was evil. She was the daughter of Undergrowth and she should be ready to fulfill all his wants and needs. She struggled to shake her head. She refused to help that overgrown plant.

"No!" she yelled. She was sure that it was only in her mind that she could talk, but it still felt better knowing she could voice her dislike. "I won't!" She felt something in the back of her mind calling to her.

Samantha. You are his and he is yours. Fight no longer the feelings you know are true!

The Goth shook her head. No. This was not true, but even as she fought it she could feel the darkness in the back of her mind as it spread, the cold from the evil being forced into her small form causing her to shake. It was so cold! Shaking harder she tried to force the evil away from her. She didn't want it in her heart. No! It would never get there. With a wince she forced a protective layer around her heart. Unfortunately that took away from her defenses of her mind as the darkness began a quicker overthrow of her mind.


Undergrowth growled as the female he was holding cried out again. Her anger was obvious by the sound of her voice as she began to shake. Nocturne had told him that it would happen only in the beginning so there was less than an hour left in the transformation, but then the shaking stopped almost as quickly as it began as the girl in his arms stopped talking and fighting. He smirked. It was done. It was only a matter of time before she awoke and then he would have his daughter back. Then it would be only a matter of time before he took over the world with her assistance.


Danny growled as he threw the ghost from him. He had wanted to kill the green coated apparition, but he shoved him away. He needed to find her and fast. Seemed that Undergrowth was planning to take over the world again with Sam as his pawn. She would go to their families and friends to get them to put the helmets on them so Nocturne could put them under the control of the large pile of compost. This was not good. Why did it always have to be her? Why couldn't they go after others that weren't close to him?! That was exactly why! She was the closest to him. He knew that now, but it seems that the ghouls of the Ghost Zone knew that long before that! They knew what would make him fight, but Tucker was right. The only reason the low end ghosts fought was for their own reasons. It would take mind control to make them fight for Undergrowth. Especially most of them were so afraid of him and feared fighting him. Seems that Undergrowth had realized that he would need all those pawns to distract him from his goal of saving Sam. Danny was pissed at himself now. He should have just wasted all those stupid ghosts. They were of no concern to him, but then he thought of what Sam would have said. She would have told him that he was a great person and that killing something was not the way to go about defeating them. He believed that she would see that differently now. She had been more than happy for him taking down Undergrowth before and Nocturne. This time it was going to be a permanent sleep for both ghosts! They would never be allowed to hurt her again.

"We need to find her and he won't go to the Ghost Zone, I'm pretty sure anyway," he said as he turned to Tucker and Dash. He had to admit that Dash was helpful and he really did seem to be a different person then he had been all these years. "But we need to make sure so you two will take the Specter Speeder and check it out." Tucker nodded.

"What are you going to do?" the blond male asked. Danny smirked.

"I plan on doing a little rooting around the place that Undergrowth headed. I think that I might be able to follow his trail to find her."


Sam awoke, her now green eyes flashing in the darkness of the space she was in. She could smell dirt and mildew around her as well as hear water in the distance. She felt weird, yet normal. With a grunt she shook her head, her eyes returning to amethyst as she stood up. Her legs felt weird and she looked down to find her legs bare. Looking up higher and fingering the clothing she was wearing she let out and growl.

"Damn it! Back to this!" she muttered as she fingered the hospital gown. Looking around again she realized she was in a cave. "What the hell?" That's when she felt something slither against her leg making her jump a little, her ghost form flashing for two seconds. "Who is in here?!" the Goth screamed she turned in the direction that the thing had slithered. "Speak to me!"

"Is that the way to talk to your father?" the darkness inquired. Sam's eyes squinted as she tried to make out a form. "Come, Samantha," it cooed. "Your father has missed you." Red eyes flashed at her causing her to step back in fear.

"I don't know who you are, but you are not my father." A growl vibrated the small space.

"Yes, Samantha, I am your father. That ghost boy took you away the last time, but he won't do it this time."

"Danny Phantom?" she whispered in confusion. "What about him? He is a ghost who saves the city. What do you have against him?" The shadows chuckled now.

"Ah, my daughter, he is mine and your enemy. He kills plants. He is a meat eater." Sam gasped. She was a vegetarian and killing a plant was against her ideals. "He would kill all plants if he could. He killed me the last time and took you down too." Sam looked hard into the darkness.

"If you are my father then let me see you," the Goth said. Reaching up in the darkness Undergrowth pushed a hole into the cave, several rocks crashing down, but none hurt him as the light revealed him to her. "Oh my god."


What does Sam do now? She seems to have forgotten who Danny is? Is it because of the control device in her head or is it something else?
