'Sam?' Danny called down the large hollow piece of metal. But the only answer he got was from the echo. He groaned and turned to DD.
'You'll pay for this.' he growled.
'I can feel the hate within you Daniel. I am defenseless, strike me down. Let the hate and rage fill you up.'
'I'll never be like you!' Danny blasted DD and the ice cage got smaller and smaller until it was a small cube. Danny looked at it to see DD frozen up inside. Danny sucked him into the thermos. Suddenly he felt an odd sensation in his stomach. The next thing he knew, was that he was in the transporter bay in Tucker's escape pod.
'Tucker! Sam's out there!' Danny cried.
'That's where your wrong. Come with me.'
Danny followed Tucker curiously. When he entered Tucker's "Bridge" he saw the wounded Sam sleeping on the transformed PDA bed.
'How?' Danny asked quietly.
'She transported herself just in time because just as the pod blew the computer gave me a warning saying that an unauthorized transportation had been made.'
'Woah Tuck, you watch way to much Star Trek and sci-fi!'
'Well a thank you would be nice.' Tucker said folding his arms.
'Thanks so much.' Danny smiled and turned human and sat next to Sam.
'So is the war over?' Tucker asked.
'I dunno Tuck. The ghost zone's basically destroyed. The ghost population has gone down rapidly.' Danny drew an "invisible" graph of the population decrease. 'Clockwork is still missing and I don't know where or how we could find him.'
'Danny, we'll find him.' Tucker patted Danny's shoulder.
'Computer, take us home.' Danny said and the pod took them back towards the Fenton portal.
On their journey there, Tucker had fallen asleep on the floor and Sam was beginning to wake up. She opened her eyes to see Danny dabbing at her burns with ointment. It smelt of mint.
'You know it smells of mint.' Sam said smiling.
'Sam!' Danny cried and Tucker jerked awake, snorting in the process. Sam saw him take him thumb out of his mouth.
'You suck you thumb Tucker?' she asked raising an eyebrow. She cringed as Danny rubbed the ointment on a bigger and more painful wound.
'No!' Tucker cried, 'how can you say that.'
'Well, since your thumb was in your mouth, one can only assume that you suck your thumb.' Danny smirked.
'Oh ha ha. very funny. I'm rolling around on the floor.'
'Plus, you also snorted like a pig when you woke up.' Sam smiled and she gave Danny a high five with her good arm.
'Whatever.' Tucker curled back down and drifted back to sleep.
'So, how did you escape?' Danny asked.
'Well, the stupid computer kept counting down the seconds till the hull breached. I tried to open the hatch, but by the time I did, the escape pod did an automatic lock down so my way out was blocked. I put an oxygen mask on and went to the control panel. I sent a transmission to Tuck and then I beamed myself to his pod when the pod decided to self destruct.'
'Wow, you were so brave.' Danny said kissing her forehead.
'Don't go all mushy on me.' Sam said grabbing his shirt and pulling down into a kiss. Suddenly there was a flash of bright light and the escape pod was in the Fenton basement.
