Yeah, it was a sweet moment. Always good to have one of those and those two deserve a lot more. Trust me, there will be more. As for you Hellbreaker, I never had to go through that. My sister had a sap for a boyfriend so what she said went and my older brother never had a girlfriend when we were growing up. Thank god! I would have to agree with you about getting in the middle of two people. Tough spot to be.

Dash frowned as he looked over to where the two were, his eyes smiling as his frown lifted too.

"Finally," he breathed. Tucker looked at him in confusion until he realized what the other teen was looking at.

"I was wondering how long it would take," the dark skinned male stated.

As soon as her hands touched the cool of his chest, his body warming under her touch she seemed to melt, her body accepting the male holding her and kissing her. She pulled him closer to her as she felt pleasure over the pain in the back of her head. This was nice, but for some reason she wanted more. She tugged on his the upper part of his hazmat suit and Danny without thinking de-transformed, his body now that of a warm blooded human. She murmured her appreciation as her body glowed blue. She de-transformed as well, her clothing returning to the hospital gown as it had been the last article of clothing that she had been in. Her hands slid up his shirt, moaning at the warmth. He pulled back, his glazed eyes matching her amethyst ones. They both had fallen into that kiss with such passion and she whimpered at the loss.

You can't say I didn't get it

I won't wait another minute on our way

This time around
You can't say
I didn't give it, I won't wait
Another minute on our way
This time around

"Sam," he groaned. "We have to stop. I need to get that thing out of you." He needed to do this while she was in her human form and not under Undergrowth's control. The dark haired girl nodded as she leaned toward him. He reached around her, their bodies pulled close like a hug as he turned his hand intangible. "I don't know if this will hurt or not."

"Just do it," she murmured as she closed her eyes. She wasn't sure if it would hurt or not either. She remembered pain at the time of insertion when Nocturne had placed it in her, but wasn't sure what to expect with getting it out. "I trust you will my life," she said as she leaned into his warmth, her arms wrapping around his semi-buff form. Danny nodded. She tried not to tense as his cold hand entered her mind and she felt him reach for the device. With a groan as a small shock was sent through her to him.

And we won't go down

She felt him hesitate and she pulled him closer, her signal to hurry up and get it out. She could feel it in her system as it sent a longer shock, a more powerful shock with every second that it was in her.

"I love you," she whispered. "I love you." She felt tears well up in her eyes at the pain coursing through her system. She could feel her heart skipping a beat as the shocks tore at her nervous system. Danny forced his hand to clamp on the small device. As soon as his hand was on it he put his other hand in there and wrapped his fingers tightly around it before beginning his mission of pulling it out. He wanted to just yank it, but he could feel the pull on it as it tried to stay attached to her. He could barely hear her words, but he could hear the word love and it forced him to think of her and only her. He had to remove it now. With his body so close to her he could feel her heart slowing with all the shock to her system. Continuing his detachment of the device he sent a shock to the system with just enough power to force it to short out, but not powerful enough to hurt her.

I heard them say that dreams should stay in your head
Well I feel ashamed of the things that I've said
Put on these chains and you can live a free life
Well I'd rather bleed just to know why I die

With a final pull she was free of the device as it now was held behind her. The girl in his arms smiled against his neck as her breathing became shallow. He crushed the device in his hands and freezing it threw it away from them. "Thank you, Phantom." Suddenly her body slumped forward, her body heavier now, causing Danny to immediately freak out. He pulled her back and laid her on her side, as their health class had told them to do multiple times. He reached down and placing two fingers on the side of her neck felt for her pulse. It was still there, but it was slow, too slow for his liking. He looked out into the Ghost Zone. He needed to get her to a hospital, but on the other side of the door was Undergrowth. How much time did he have and was there a hospital on the other side that wasn't taken over? He looked back down at her as he lifted her into his arms. He only had minutes he figured as he headed for the Far Frozen where a worried pair of teens and a white, Yeti-like ghost waited for him.

And we won't go down
And we won't go down
And we won't go down
And we won't go down

All I know is that fear has got to go
This time around

Moments later with a very frustrated look Danny headed to the Portal door, his crew of Tucker and Dash behind him in the Specter Speeder. He would need them to take care of the mind vines while he pruned a very overgrown weed! He looked over his shoulder at the Far Frozen where Frostbite was taking care of Sam before he glanced at the teens behind him. With a nod Tucker opened the door only to find that all the vines in the house were dead. Danny levitated into the dark room. Looking around he found that indeed all the plants in the house were dead.

"I wonder what happened," Danny said as he flew ahead of them.

"Can't tell you," Tucker stated back. They waited for Danny to turn them all intangible so that they could head out into the streets. The skies were dark with storm clouds as the earth shook with thunder. In the skies was someone Danny hadn't seen since their last weather rumble. Vortex. "Seems Undergrowth has a lot of help this time around." Danny nodded. Seems that he had recruited a lot of Danny's old enemies. Again the earth trembled as rain began to fall, the drops starting out small as lightening flickered across the skies.

"Guess that means that I have to take care of Vortex first," the halfa said with a groan. "I don't have time for all this. I need to get her to a fucking hospital!" Now he was frustrated and his ghost form amplified his powers with that frustration. Telling them to head out and remove the vines from humans he headed up into the clouds. This was not going at all like he hoped it would.
