The green sky glowed brightly, purple cloud like figures floated high above. Everything seemed calm and peaceful, but under that sky chaos ensued. Screams filled the air as families were being killed. Blood littered the ground. One man stood in the middle with an insane smirk on his face as he took in the violence.
"My Lord, what are your orders?" asked a soldier to the man.
"Kill everyone, leave no soul alive."
"You won't get away with this!" someone shouted. The tall man turned to the voice irritated. He walked to the one who spoke to see a young boy.
"And what, pray tell, gives you that idea?" He asked the boy with a strange smirk.
"The King shall save us!" The boy shouted glaring at the man with eyes that told he believed what he was saying. The man looked at him for a moment before he spoke slowly.
"You are beyond help, boy."
"I don't mean us here. The other ghosts in the world. I speak of us as a whole. The king shall save us and bring salvation to those who you have killed here." The man looked at the boy with a look of disgust. He bent down to gaze at the boy at eye level. Then he smiled.
"Well then, you are a very trusting young man. How bout I squish that trust? He's not going to save you or any other ghost. I will kill him and take the throne and begin my reign of terror. How does that sound, little boy?" The man sneered. The boy looked at him defiantly.
"I don't believe you! He will save the Ghost Zone from you, you monster!" The boy spit in the man's face. The said man stood up and looked at the boy.
"Such defiance. I shall have fun breaking that resolve. I'm taking this one prisoner!" He shouted to one of the soldiers.
"But my Lord, we aren't to take war prisoners. Orders of Lord Mikhail."
"Yes but I'm sure that he wouldn't mind if I took this one. When I break him, he will make a good addition to the army."
"I won't go!" he turned to run but was caught my the tall man again.
"Where do you think your going?" The boy struggled and then stopped when a soldier pulled a woman out of a home. He paled and watched as they struck her and as she died the boy screamed.
"Mother! NO!" The man looked at the boy in surprise. Then he got a smirk as he saw the boy start crying.
"Bring everyone here and kill them." The soldiers complied and brought every person there and started killing them. The boy stared in horror.
"No, stop it!" He turned his head away only to have the man turn his head back to the horrific scene.
"Why do you do this?" the boy asked. The man laughed.
"Because I have orders and I love to see the terror spread."
"Who are you?" The boy asked again.
"Pariah Dark."

Chapter 1
Darkness shrouded the room and the person that slept on the giant double sized king bed seemed to be sleeping peacefully at first glance but look closer and you could see the thin sheet of sweat that covered his skin, his furowed brow and his deep breaths. He was restless in his sleep until he sat up quickly and a scared look upon his handsome, chisled, and young face. He looked around the room for a moment trying to get his bearings. His deep gasping breaths filled the silence. He sat for a moment before he remembered his dream and faster then the eyes could see he jumped out of his bed grabbed his cloak and ran out to find his adviser, Clockwork.
He finally got to the room in which his adviser was in. He knocked hard and after a while he knocked again. He was about to knock again when the door opened to reveal a man whose appereance always changed from toddler to young adult to old man. Currently he looked like a pissed teenager. When he saw the paniced look on the young mans face he quickly ushered him in. Luckly the adviser and the commander of the army lived next to each other because when the man was knocking on Clockworks door the commander came too knowing something was wrong if the man was knocking at the door so early. The commander let himself in just in time to hear what the man had to say to Clockwork.
"We have a problem Clockwork. There was an attack in the indian region, specificly the Apache Island. One of our officers was killed there."
"What happened?" The commander spoke up making the young man turn to him.
"Pariah Dark happened." The two men gasped.
"But Your Majesty, Pariah is dead. You killed him yourself."
"I know that, Skulker!" he hissed. "I don't understand it either. I have a really bad feeling about what his plans are. The officer didn't hear what he was planning so I don't know but I know it can't be good, I mean this is Pariah."
"Yes, what you say is correct. Unfortunently, I can't see what his plans are either. But what I don't understand is he handed the kingdom, power and rulership over to you when you killed him. I think he wants to take it back but if he's dead how then did he come back?" Clockwork mussed. The other two looked deep in thought when the King doubled over clutching his head in pain. He fell to the floor with pain written all over his face. Skulker went to him in a panic.
"Sir, whats the matter?" He looked to Clockwork hoping that the old bat would know but the look on the time ghost's face told the commander that he didn't know either. Finally the pain subsided and the King stood up, rather unsteady like. He looked at Clockwork with silent tears running down his pale face.
"I can feel them dieing. It's painful. I don't like that feeling." He looked down at the floor. Clockwork and Skulker studied each other then went to comfort the young King.
"It will be fine I assure you. We will figure out whats going on and then defeat it like all the others." Clockwork said patting the Kings back. The king looked up at the Timekeeper.
"But this times different Clockwork."
"How so?" This time Skulker spoke.
"To many people are dieing. It's not something small, especially when Pariah is concerned. It still doesn't make sense how he came back. Unless-" He stopped short and then his eye widened and he looked almost scared. When the two other ghosts were going to ask what was wrong the King started talking again.
"Why didn't I think of that possibility?" He asked talking to himself and started pacing the room. Everyonce and a while you would see him wince but he would keep pacing deep in thought. Finally Clockwork spoke up.
"What didn't you think off?"
"The Shadows." He deadpanned. The two ghosts eyes widened and if their skin was a normal tone they would have paled alot.
"But they have been banished and can't leave the Dark Realm. You made sure of that."
"Yes but remember when I killed Pariah, I put him in the Dark Realm. I was assuming it was in a place where The Shadows couldn't get to him but I was wrong. The Shadows can bring anyone back to their afterlife but with a price. Eternal servitude. Pariah is under their rule, he has to listen to them."
"That makes sense!" Skulker exclamied. "And if they get rid of you they can make Pariah free them to be let loose once again. I can't believe I didn't think of that."
"Well if I didn't think of it first then no one would have thought it for awhile." Clockwork stated giving Skulker that 'DUH!' look. Skulker glared at him.
"Knock it off. We need to think of a strategy to stop them." The king sighed and looked at the floor, "We are going to need help. We need to go to the Human World. The hunters can help. Plus we need a place to hid just in case he gets this far." Just as he finished that sentance the door burst open and there was one of the officers that he had sent to the Plant Planet.
"What is it?" The king asked. The officer looked tired, ragged and beat.
"Pariah, he attacked Plant Planet and he is headed this way. You need to evacuate. Quickly!" The officer said before passing out. The king went to him to asses the damage, he wasn't hurt as bad as he was tired. He stood up and looked to Skulker.
"Gather your troops to protect the ghosts who are going to evacuate. Clockwork, get ready to flee and make sure my secret places are locked and hidden. There are things there that need to remain secret. I will go get dressed and call to all the ghosts. Dismissed!" At that word they two ghosts got busy. The king left the room and ran to his room and got his garments, the crown, and staff. He dressed into a black shirt that the collar was red and so were the gloves. His pants were black with a red belt and boots that were red also. He had belts that criscrossed on his thighs, telling you that he was still young and that was the style he wore when he died. They were white which was different with his red and black attire. Next he pulled his hands into his long cloak. The base was black but the trim was red. He grabbed his crown and placed it on his head and his staff which suddenly turned into a sword and he clipped it to his belt on his waist. He looked around his giant room and ran to his dresser. Opening the top drawer he went to the back and pushed on a part of the back panel. It opened revealing a ring that glowed red. He grabbed it and stuck it into his pocket, closed the panel and then the drawer.
He turned and ran out the door. He turned and lifted his right hand. It glowed black and the door disappeared. He looked at it again before he ran down the hallway. Thru all of this he had dispersed his voice to that of every ghost in the ghost zone, telling them to evacuate to his castle he would have further orders after that. By the time he made it to the front courtyard it was overflowing with ghosts. They all looked paniced.
"Your Majesty, why the evacuation order?" One asked.
"The Shadows have started to act, they brought Pariah Dark back to afterlife and are using him for something that I haven't determined yet. He is headed here. He has destroyed the Apache Island and Plant Planet. I have a plan. You need to enter into this portal." He waved his hand and a red spining portal opened. They all looked catious. They trusted their King, but this was new.
"My Lord, what's in there?" Frostbite asked.
"An alternante dimention. This isn't to the Human Plane. I made this with my own power in cases of emergency. Now is that time. It is identical to the Ghost Zone. You will notice some differences but your homes will still be there. This is an order and you will all obey it for the safety of all of you. You will go and find your homes. Do not try and steal someone elses home, do not cause trouble, do not do anything that you know I would have a problem with. Am I understood?"
"Transparently." Every ghost said.
"Good. Frostbite you will be in charge of this realm until I come and tell you that all is well. No one can get in or out without my permission. Only I have the power to make a portal. You will all be safe. Now go!" He ordered.
"But my Lord, where will you go?"
"I will go to the human world to ask for more help. This is a battle that I can't win without help. Plus I need to think of a strategy first. When the crisis is over you will be allowed to come back. I give you my word. Now go before Pariah comes and knows what happened." They all obeyed and entered the portal. Once they were in he closed the portal and turned to the ones who stayed. To his surprise he saw Ember, The Lunchlady, Spectra, Pandora, Walker, and the Box ghost, why him the king didn't know but whatever. Clockwork and Skulker stayed but that was to be expected.
"You need to go too." he told the others.
"No we will help. We have powers too that will be of use." Ember said.
"But I don't want you to get hurt."
"Please. We are strong enough to take care of ourselve. Plus we owe you for so much." Spectra said looking at him. So he just took it as that and then he opened another portal.
"Don't blame me if you get hurt. But thank you for the help." He said with a smile. They smiled back.
"Anything for our savior." The lunchlady said, "Cookie?" The King politely accepted knowing that if he said no she would get angry, he knew all about her qiurks. He turned toward the portal.
"Let us depart!" he said and flew thru the portal ending up in good old Amity Park.
