sammansonrepilica, thanks. I love the lovey dovey, but for some reason I can't see them in that light. Sure, I do the corny stuff with them on the occasion, but for Danny and Sam there is a darkness in their love. A good one, but still a darkness.

Hellbreaker, we will get into her story line as we move along.

sammansonrepilica & Irelandlover, thank you for adding this story to your alerts.


Hours later found the pair of halfas sitting in Nasty Burger, the appearance of Phantom drawing a lot of attention, but she didn't seem to care as she eyed the food before her. The smell of her tofu burger wafted up to her, her mouth watering from the scent. She looked to the halfa before her, his blue eyes watching and observing and while she hated to be studied after years of enduring the probing at the hands of Walker.

"Could you stop that," she muttered. "I hate when people stare at me." When he began to eat his own food she followed suit and just seconds had swallowed her sandwich. "That was good and you called it," she paused as she took a sip of the tea at her side, the refreshing feel of it filling her throat. "Tofu. Why don't you eat it too?" Danny shook his head.

"I can, but not today. I don't feel like it since I like real meat, but my friend, the one that went missing, loved tofu. She was a vegetarian, well, an ultra recyclo vegetarian." The woman before him smiled as if that was something funny.

"I am a vegetarian too, but in the Ghost Zone there wasn't much save for salad to eat since all they eat in that fucking prison is meat." The halfa nodded. He remembered that and the fact that you were given very little to eat anyway. He looked at the woman before him, the build of her much different than it had been before. She had filled out more and at the same time had lost so much weight while her attitude was still pretty close to the same she was different in her moods. "Why do you look at me like that?"

"You look different than before and how did you become a half ghost anyway?" She took another drink, her green eyes glowing like his did, but this wasn't in anger, but in thought. "I became one by accident, but that was due to being in my parent's ghost portal." She nodded. Leaning forward she began her tale.

"I don't know how long I was there and I certainly don't remember much about going there, but I do remember how I changed." There was a pause as some people walked by, Sam's green gaze following them until they were far enough away. "I tried to run from the prison and managed to find a swirling vortex while on the run, but I had no idea what it was, but while trying to choose whether to go through it or not Walker appeared, the man who ran that fucking place and I chose to jump in and take my chances." She shook her head, an emotion flashing in her eyes before it disappeared. "I had been there for such a long period before I managed that first escape and had gotten caught several times." She leaned back with a shudder. "He was ruthless, far worse to me than the others, but that is because I tried to escape more times than them and that was a big no-no. Him and his stupid rules."

"Yeah, and he has some crazy ones." She nodded. "How could he keep you in the ghost zone when you're human too. You could have gone through the wall-" She pointed to what appeared to be a simple necklace, but as the halfa looked closer he noticed a flashing light. She turned it so he could see the back where all the electronics were. "I haven't seen that kind of bond, not on any other the other prisoners and I do know one who used to be confined in there." Sam's brow rose as she asked how he knew so much about the prison. "I was captured once and put in a cell, but with assistance from my two closest friends was able to escape. I met a ghost there by the name of Wulf and managed to help him escape the second time."

"Wulf?" she questioned before her eyes grew wide. "I have seen this creature."

"Don't tell me that he was captured again," the halfa groaned. He couldn't allow his friend to be taken, much like he hadn't been aware that his own best friend had been taken in there. Sam shook her head. "The how do you know him?"

"He helped me out this last time, but I had seen him on the day I got my powers."

"Yeah, hey, you didn't tell me how you got those yet." She nodded.

"I fell through the vortex into what appeared to be a large lab. There was ghost appliances all over the place and it was empty, but as I was getting ready to run the sound of the door opening behind me made me realize he had seen me." She sighed. "I tried to close the portal, but as I touched the button I saw him throw a blast, the interior of the portal lighting up as the door closed."

"That seemed like luck," Danny stated, but then he realized that if she had been in a lab with a portal there was only two places that had that, not that he was aware there were anymore in the world. "What did the lab look like?" She gave a vague description of what she had managed to see before the sound of someone coming down had made her hide.

"I wasn't sure who it was, but I didn't want to take a chance so I hide. He walked up to the portal, a frown on his face as he pushed the button open. He was a big guy in an orange suit and for some reason he looked familiar, but before I could say something he stepped in the portal and I remembered another time, well... I guess that it was some other time because I could remember someone else stepping into that portal and getting zapped so I rushed out to help him just as he tripped on some wires on the ground. I managed to run in there and shove him out as the shock hit me..."

Sam was turned ghost the same way I was... Shit! Why hasn't dad told me? He would have to ask his father about this because if this was true, and Danny was sure that the woman before him wouldn't lie, then Jack had seen Sam, but when? "What happened after that?" She shook her head.

"That's when the world went dark and the next thing I knew I was in the prison again... With a new collar, one that was rather bulky." She made a face, her hand unconsciously going to her neck where Danny noticed held small marks, ones that looked like burn marks. He remembered that collar and how he had kept Walker from putting it around the Goth's neck long ago only for her to have to experience anyway. "What bothers me is that I don't even know what I did to land myself there as well as the fact that all the ghosts knew me and hated me with a passion, save for one ghost." Danny's brows rose in question.

"It was a large male that looked like a cross between Bigfoot and an icicle gone wrong."

"Frostbite," the halfa stated drawing a nod from the white haired female. "Is he still there?" She shook her head now.

"No, Wulf and I got him out a long time ago, but Walker tried to go back to the Far Frozen, that's where Frostbite said he was from, though he never came back with anyone that I saw." Her eyes narrowed. "He was planning on killing a whole bunch of different ghosts, but I was his main toy. I can't tell you how often I found myself fighting for my life." She shook her head now. "That's why I had to kill him. He told me of all his plans, all the plans to kill all these people connected to one guy, one thorn in his side."

"That would be me."


Danny had so many questions, but after that bomb had been dropped on him he had needed to get away so after dropping Sam off with his parents, the pair of ghost fighters smothering the poor woman, he headed back out. Walker had been planning to kill all his allies, but why? That was the big question. Was there a plan and what was it? Shaking his head he realized that with Walker dead there was no way whatever he had been planning would happen so as he sat on the lone tree, the one that overlooked the city he sighed.

"What do I do about her though?"


Sam sat in a chair, now having reverted back to her human form after several questions about her transformation. When she had de-transformed she had stood before the pair of ghost fighters looking almost as she had the day of her disappearance. Only a few things had changed and that was her transformation into a woman and her hairstyle. Maddie had taken the older Goth aside and issuing her a new outfit, as the Goth had been wearing the prison uniform, she helped do her hair even as the raven haired beauty protested. Fixing her short hair with a straightener the older woman presented a now transformed ghost fighter. Sam now wore a teal jumper like what Danny's mother wore and her short black hair was straightened as it had been as a teen with no ponytail adorning her head.

No one knew what to say as they waited for Danny, all the questions that had bugged the pair having been asked and answered now. Sam stood up, her amethyst gaze alert suddenly as a whisper of blue left her mouth.

"Not good," she muttered as she headed for the window, her gaze looking off into the distance as a portal opened in the skies. "Seems his back up has finally figured it out." She turned to the pair behind her. "Trouble is on the way and this one is worse than Walker." The couple looked to each other and then to the Goth standing before them as she transformed.

"What are you talking about?" Maddie inquired just as something blew up in the distance. The older couple rushed to the wind to see the fire in the distance.

"His name is Beeld and he is only one of many that were over Walker." She looked to them as they stood next to her. "He's probably worse, but not as bad as the real leader though." She took off at that moment toward the fire as another one started yards farther down.

"Come on, Phantom! Show yourself!" The Goth flew over to him quickly just as Danny showed up. The pair floated above the streets below them, both ready to fight, but only Sam had met the idiot before them. "Ah, so both Phantoms appear. Good." The ghost before them was like most of them, green skin and deteriorated in appearance, but his clothing was that of a soldier or warrior depending how you looked at it. His armor covered only half of his body leaving the right part of his upper body vulnerable. His long white hair fell past his shoulders and down his back, but that was just appearances. His hair was a weapon.

"Watch out for the hair," she hissed.

"W-Wha-" Danny was pulled forward by his foot as Sam smacked her face.
