Ghost Ray roamed the building without being seen by Ghost Monty and Ghost Caleb, who were constantly looking for him. He was still thinking who would be a good hostage and then it finally came to him. The one who's the most valuable to them, the one who can know what's happening before anyone else even figures it out. Kyle Taylor. Ghost Ray grinned and looked for Kyle quickly, so his mission would be complete. He always wondered what it would be like to be human, since he is only a copy of Ray, but transparent.
Any copy of a human is unable to speak, but Ghost Ryan seems to speak just fine, so does that make Real Ryan a copy? If you're a copy, you're a ghost. Ghost Monty and Ghost Caleb are copies as well and when the actual human dies, the human gets a choice to become a ghost or not. Taking the form of a ghost is not an easy process; they did it though. Ghost Ray was ordered to kill two people in the office, it's impossible to possess a human unless they breathe in a lot of the dust in the air. So, he targeted Caleb and Monty, but they are now the ones who stop their plans.
Ghost Ray finally found Kyle in the Achievement Hunter office sitting on the white couch, but Ghost Caleb was there next to Kyle. The other Hunters were in the room looking for stuff they needed. Kyle turned to the half open door to his right and saw just a glimpse of Ghost Ray. He shrugged and nudged Ghost Caleb. Ghost Caleb looked at him and he pointed out the door, whispering, "Someone's watching." Ghost Caleb nodded and disappeared.
"Did you say something, Kyle?" Ray asked from his desk and Kyle shook his head. "You seem to know what's happening before we do. You said it just comes to you, what is that supposed to mean?" Kyle didn't answer, he was fiddling with his thumbs and looked nervous. "Kyle?" Kyle looked out the door when he saw Ghost Ryan appear. Kyle slowly moved away and Ghost Monty appeared in front of Ghost Ryan. Ghost Monty shook his head and Ghost Ryan smirked.
"You think you can take me on?" Ghost Ryan laughed and Ghost Monty wasn't going to get overconfident anytime soon. Kyle's eyes widened when Ghost Ryan spoke. How could he speak? Ghosts are unable to speak unless he's a... Kyle shook his head avoiding the thought and he looked back at Ray who had a concerned look in his eyes. "Is that all you got?" Ghost Ryan said as Kyle flinched when Ghost Ryan twisted Ghost Monty's arm. If Ghost Monty could speak, he would be screaming right about now. Both ghosts disappeared.
Kyle was about to stand, but stumbled back onto the couch when Ghost Ray appeared in front of him. He gave a devious smile that gave Kyle the shivers, "Kyle, are you sick? What is happening?" Ray asked standing up. Ghost Ray reached for Kyle and Kyle was afraid it was over for him, but the ghostly hand never came.
Miles stood in front of Kyle, "Miles, what are you doing here?!" Kyle's eyes widened, his best friend just saved him from being controlled by a ghost. Kyle looked behind Miles and didn't see Ghost Ray, "Miles, are you okay?" Miles glanced at Kyle and then left the room. Kyle sighed and stood up to follow Miles, "Please don't do it." He said quietly as Miles opened the door. Dust came in and everyone looked over.
There was a vehicle outside about twenty feet away from the door and everyone looking was either wide eyed or their jaws are dropped or both. "Is that a fuckin'...?" Michael stared at the vehicle.
"Tank? Yes." Miles answered.
"Holy shit..." Geoff managed to say.
The cannon slowly pointed down at Miles and Kyle pushed Miles aside and they both hit the ground. The cannon fired and the entrance of the building crumbled, "Shit!" Kyle got up as Ghost Ryan appeared in front of him. "Get out of my way; I need to save my friends!"
Ghost Ryan chuckled, "Watch your back." Kyle's eyes widened and slowly looked down. "What a shame, you even saw Ghost Ray do it." Miles pulled the knife and Kyle fell to the ground as blood poured out of the stab wound. He coughed out blood and Ghost Ryan crouched next to him. He smiled, "You can even see it coming before anyone else knows, but apparently you're too lost in your feelings to notice. That's what weird about you, humans. You're distracted by your feelings of others. That's what'll kill you all in the end. Monty and Caleb killed themselves to help you escape, they understood what was happening, and that's why we killed them. They could've resisted us, but they had to help in any way possible." Ghost Ryan turned to Miles. "Finish the job and let's get going. We have a whole office to kill."
Kyle began to lose consciousness and Miles fell to the ground a few feet away from him, already unconscious. "Kyle! Miles!" He heard from afar, but soon blacked out.
…
Kyle slowly woke up and sat up looking around. No one was around, but he was in a room. A sudden pain surged throughout his body and he clenched where Miles had stabbed him. He looked around again and Ghost Caleb appeared just a few feet away, "What happened? Who's alive?" Ghost Caleb looked down unable to answer because one he can't speak and two he doesn't want to explain. "Caleb, what happened?" He asked again, but Ghost Caleb refused to respond. He sighed and stood up, "I'll check myself then." Ghost Caleb walked over and pushed him back down and he does go back onto the bed. Ghost Caleb gripped his shoulders and shook his head. "How did you do that?" He asks as Ghost Caleb takes a step back and Ghost Monty appears behind him with his arms crossed. Ghost Monty shook his head, "Why won't you let me know?"
"Because you don't wanna know about what happened." Ray walked in.
"Ray, what happened? Where's everyone else?"
"Kyle, please, a lot has happened since you've been knocked out." Ray said trying to fight the tears. "You've been knocked out for a week and since we can't really know what's gonna happen next, we've decreased. There are not much of us left just about ten or something. It started when we patched up you and Miles. First it was Chris."
…
"Hey Chris, could you hand me the bandages." Brandon held his hand out, but then noticed that Chris wasn't there anymore. He stood up and exited the room, "Chris! Hey, Chris! Does anyone know where Chris went?"
"He went outside. He said he needed to clear his head." Jordan answered and Brandon walked outside to see a trail of blood. He followed the trail and at the end he saw the dead body of Chris Demairas. Chris had shot himself just like Monty had done so a few days ago. Brandon slowly approached the body and picked up the gun, also shooting himself. Jordan noticed they've been gone too long and went to look for them. When he saw what happened he ran back inside and cried. They would ask him what happened, but he just kept crying. Then a day later, they found Jordan's lifeless body next to Barbara's and Kara's bodies. They had killed themselves, but they tried to move on. It was hard, knowing that everyone killed themselves for no real reason or a reason that they never told them about. Two days had passed and Gus and Joel also died, but it seemed that they couldn't bring themselves to kill themselves. They killed each other. That left the Achievement Hunters except Caleb, Burnie, Matt, Miles, Kerry, Shane, and that was really it. In a span of four days, seven people had died and only about ten still live. No one knew what was happening and why it was happening.
…
"Without you, we didn't have any explanations about what was happening. I'm not saying it's your fault Kyle, but if you just explained everything maybe just maybe they would all still be alive." Ray explained and Kyle looked down trying to process what Ray had just told him. How could they be dead? Was it really his fault? If he did explain what he knew, would they still be alive?
"I'm sorry." Kyle mumbled.
"Apologizing won't get them back, Kyle. Some of us wanted to leave you behind, but you're lucky that I wouldn't let that happen. Come on, we have to get moving." Kyle got up, but was pushed down again by Ghost Caleb.
"Why won't you let me get up?" Kyle asked and Ray turned to them.
"He wants you to explain."
"How do you know?"
"The more we breathe in this dust the more we can visibly see them. Though, we can't see Ghost Ryan and Ghost Ray. I don't know why. So, explain, but let's get everyone in here first." Ray left to get the others.
