Hey! Here's more of Chapter 6 of the fan fiction of the movie that I own no rights to (kind of a classy way to write a disclaimer, huh?)! I hope you're enjoying it, and again, sorry for the long delay!
Chapter 6
Just as Arthur was standing there, wondering why some of the ghosts were missing, Cyrus crept up behind him and grabbed Arthur's hair! What he said was a mixture pf many things Arthur could not understand, and other things he could understand, but far too inappropriate to be stated even in an X-rated movie. Maggie fled to the Pilgrimess who huddled near to her.
As even stranger noises were heard from the basement, the Bound Woman came racing up the stairs and yanked at Cyrus with all her might and flung him at the slashing blades. Arthur was so stunned by the gory scene that he did not notice that the blades were slowing down, nor did he notice the two other ghosts messing with the controls for the machine in the control room.
"Push the button! Good, now that one, NO--the blue one! God, Jack, you're so dumb! Here--take this." AP shoved a jar of pasta-and-tomato soup- Scooby-Doos into the Jackal's claws. He didn't know what to do with it, so a very angry Angry Princess explained.
"If we can pour it onto these controls, it will ruin the wires, thus rendering the machine useless." Jack cracked the can open on the side of the metal cage anchored onto his head. AP and Jack then picked the soup up with their hands and put it onto the control pad. As they did so, the knives slowed to a stop, and everything became a confusing whirl of deepest black.

When order was somewhat restored, it didn't last for very long. Everyone found themselves sprawled all over each other at the beginning of a hallway which ended with a huge, heavy steel door…which was wide open. Ghosts and humans alike scrambled up and ran, but with each step they took, the door began to close.
"Run, kids! Hunny, get out of here!" screamed the Withered Lover as she pushed her children and husband to the exit.
"Jack--go!" the Angry Princess hollered at her friend as he skidded out after the group of humans. The ghosts of Kalina, Dennis, and Cyrus followed close behind.
"Princess-" The Jackal stuck his rotting hand back in to grab his friend and take her with him.
"Where's JT?"
"I don't know, AP, just come on, he'll understand!" But the door shut completely, and the Jackal's hand vanished from sight. He had no other choice but to move on.
"Bye, Jack!" waved Kathy as the humans ran for the car. Kalina, Cyrus, and Dennis were headed in the opposite direction, cursing and screaming their heads off at each other.
The Jackal waved goodbye to the girl and yelled a quick "thanks for everything," who's father replied "we'll come visit!" through a broken window of his car as he slammed the door and took off. Jack nodded, and then turned back to face the old glass house. AP waved to him from a large window, signaling him to get a move on. Where was JT? Jack wanted to say goodbye to him. But all the same, he turned and headed into the woods behind the house, not knowing where to go or end up. He wasn't even sure if he was ready to be free yet.
The Angry Princess stared longingly as her best friend's ghostly figure faded slowly away into the night. She was unable to think, unable to even fathom what the Juggernaut would say when he found out. She couldn't even see straight any more. AP just wished it was all a dream. It was not.
THE END
