A few moments later, a lot of ghosts were outside the main Guardian Council Hall, after hearing about the rescue of five ghosts and wondered what was going on.

The two ghosts that had rescued Danny and the others were King Clockwork and his wife Queen Pandora. The other Guardian council members stood beside their leaders as they heard Jazz's and Danny's story of everything they went through and now they were discussing about the situation.

"I'm more concerned about this Ecto-Spectral Gems of which they speak" A ghost named Nocturne said. "It could be a weapon. Could be a new shield or amour"

"Having examined them, your Majesty they do show signs of the trials they described" Pandora spoke.

"It beggars to believe that these brave teenagers would fly here by themselves to spin a fairy tale" A ghost named Ember MacLaine agreed with Pandora.

Suddenly a chuckle was heard from a blue skinned ghost that looked similar to a vampire. Ember asked, "Does Lord Plasmius feel otherwise?"

"Oh good grief. Clockwork your Majesty, if I understand this correctly Pariah Dark is not a myth, he's building a slave army of mind controlled ghost children and is planning to conquer the world with magical rock debris" Plasmius spoke with disbelief. "Without intending any disrespect and particularly to my little friends who have been through so much, such a story simply stretches plausibility too far"

Danny and Jazz looked at Plasmius in shock that he didn't believe them. Another chuckled was heard from another male ghost, this one had snow white hair and red eyes, he wore a black battle shirt with a dark purple overcoat, black pants and dark brown combat boots.

"Does that notion strike Jason as amusing?" Plasmius asked the ghost.

The ghost who Plasmius called, Jason frowned at him and said, "What cheek! What's amusing to me is that you would cover yourself by besmirching these fliers"

"Perhaps by good fellow Jason wishes us to race back to war" Plasmius suggested with a frown while Jason mocked him sarcastically under his breath. "Perhaps he'd write a poem about it from his home, while the rest of us have our weapons deformed too. But I say caution, when the losses could be so many"

Jason walked right up to Plasmius and glared at him as he spoke, "I would never counsel rushing blindly into war but for a cause as the one the boy described, for a violation of the peace, so powerful, so blatant of course I'd fight! And if you think I'm a coward, or I'd simply urged others on, I'll fight you right now"

"ORDER! Order! Stop it both of you" Clockwork exclaimed causing the two to back off from each other. "We're trying to seek the truth"

That's when Danny couldn't stay quiet anymore and spoke gaining their attention, "The truth? I told you the truth. Jazz told you the truth. We both told you the truth. The Pure Ones exist. They've kidnapped me and dozens of other children from our homes. They want to enslave us all and rule our world without pity"

All of them looked at Danny and Jazz sympathetically and knew that they were telling the truth. Danny then finished, "Yes. I understand that the only proof I have are my words, but words and stories were the only proof I had that you, the Guardians of the Ghost Zone were real and still I believed"

They all were silent. Jason then broke the silence and asked Clockwork, "And you would argue with that?"

"I will not argue with that, for the boy makes an excellent point and I believe that their story is true" Clockwork answered. "But we best investigate"

"Your Majesty, my search and rescue chaw is scheduled to leave on a routine survey in a couple of days…" Plasmius began but then Clockwork cut in and ordered, "No. You shall leave immediately. Take your best ghosts with you Plasmius and be thorough"

About twenty minutes later, Danny and Jazz watched as Plasmius and two other ghosts flew behind him, heading to investigate the Pure Ones Lair. Danny and Jazz then continued to look over the island in awe.

"Danny we did it" Jazz said. Danny nodded and then said, "I just hope Plasmius finds the children"

Jason landed near them and said as he looked at them, "Oh to be a young ghost with a taste of adventure arriving at the island for the first time. Well done to hold your own in there. Some more strong cores. The island always needs them"

With that he flew off. Danny then commented, "He is one strange ghost"

"I think he might be missing a few brain cells" Jazz said. Suddenly a ghost girl the same age as Danny with black hair, green eyes and wearing a green sleeveless dress that went to her knees walked up behind them and said, "I always think the same thing about Jason. You'll want to stay out of his chaw"

"Chaw?" Jazz asked.

"I'll tell you on the way to dinner. You're already late" The girl said and then began to fly down.

Danny and Jazz followed her and landed down to the ground. They followed behind the girl as she explained, "Now Pandora has instructed me to give you lot a rundown on the way we do things around here. During your basic training…."

"Wait. Basic training?" Danny asked as they followed behind her.

"You don't just become a Guardian overnight. It takes years and only our absolute best are chosen…." The girl continued but then Jazz cut in, "Who are you?"

"Are you going to keep interrupting me?" The girl asked annoyed as she faced them. She then continued, "Now if however unlikely you do have talent, you'll be tapped or selected for a specialised chaw or squadron"

Jazz noticed that Danny was smiling at the girl, almost lovingly as the girl continued, "There's navigation, healing, search and rescue, blacksmithing, weather interpretation, collaring. I expect to be placed in the navigation chaw myself"

She smiled at Danny and said, "My name is Samantha by the way but I prefer to be called Sam"

"I'm…I'm D-Danny" Danny stuttered while blushing a little. Jazz scoffed and smirked a little.

"Now you're friends are eating over there" Sam said while gesturing to a large table in the corner.

Jazz and Danny both laughed a little as they saw Tucker was stuffing his face with different sorts of meat. Tucker spoke but his mouth was full of food they couldn't understand what he was saying.

"He says it's good. I think I might play a little music" Frostbite said. He pulled out a small guitar and began strumming it, making a good rhythm and gaining a small audience.

In the morning Danny, Jazz, Tucker and Frostbite sat at desks in front of Clockwork, ready to begin their training to become Guardians. Clockwork then began, "Here at the Island of Emotions, every ghost trains in different skills we call chaws. You'll study tracking, navigating, combat, but maybe you're a blacksmith…"

They watched as a ghost named Skulker made different types of weapons and armour, watched as Tucker managed to track down using not only his technology but also his aura, Jazz looked on in amazement at the projection of the many constellations of stars used for navigating and began combat training.

Danny duelled against Sam with swords and the two were equally matched. As they were walking through the hallways, Danny looked at Jason standing in front of some of burning coal. Jason then said to Danny, "Fire boy. It's the lifeblood of the Island and there's nothing more dangerous"

In another combat lesson with Ember, it was Frostbite's turn to fight. He picked up a staff and stood ready to face his opponent, who was revealed to be a small ghost named Youngblood.

"You must be joking" Frostbite scoffed.

But Youngblood had managed to take Frostbite down in just five strikes, causing the whole group to laugh. They then had a flying training session with Pandora.

"Feel the air and follow me" Pandora instructed.

They followed Pandora down into a nose dive before rearing up and flying back up, they all then stopped in mid-air and fell down for a moment before flying once again.

Back at the Pure Ones Lair, Dan stood on a ledge and watched the meeting taking place. Every single Pure One soldier had gathered for this important rally. Pariah Dark then spoke, "My soldiers, my sons, many of you have heard of me in late-night whisperings but I assure you, I am not a myth. I am real. And I stand before you with one simple truth: the strong shall rule the weak"

Many ghosts murmured in agreement and then Pariah continued, "Long ago, I was viciously attacked by the coward the Great Hania for defending that truth. Now I wear this eyepatch to conceal my scars but the anger is strong. It is a symbol of the Pure Ones strength and resolve. It is time to set a fire that will consume the ghost kingdoms and take back what is rightfully ours! Because we are Pure Ones! And I am Pariah Dark!"

Everyone, including Dan began to chant and cheer, "Pariah Dark! Pariah Dark! Pariah Dark!"

Danielle then stopped her brother and said, "Uh Dan. I miss mum and dad. I'm scared"

Dan smiled gently at his little sister and said, "Don't worry. You're with me now. Dani, this is our home. They really appreciate us here"

"Dan please, could we just find Danny?" Dani asked. Dan suddenly snapped, "Hey! Forget about Danny! Danny's weak! We're Pure Ones"

"Dan I promise I won't tell anyone what you're doing. I just want to go home. Please" Dani pleaded.

Dan sighed and said, "Alright Dani"

"So we can go? When?" Dani asked.

"Tomorrow" Dan answered as Spectra landed next to Dan holding a staff with a red gem in front of the full moon. "But first, tonight just sleep"

Dani whimpered in fear as she looked at the glowing red gem in front of the moon….
