Battle at Ghost Castle

Rin POV

Let's make this completely clear, I don't scare easily, after all fighting demons, and my father, you would think I would be used to most to the bizarre. Well trying telling that to the kid who is flying, holding you by the arms going well over any legal speed limit I know off, heading to a very disturbing castle that holds a ghost knight and a demon sword, yeah, a bit nerves.

I looked down and saw the battle field. Exorcists old and young where fighting to keep this place safe, while others were standing tall, others were falling hard. I clenched my fist tight as I looked forward at the castle. "So what's the plan ghost boy?" I asked the pilot.

"We get in, get the sword, kick butt, and have a relaxing time with some rice balls." He said humor still in his voice "All in exactly that order." He finished with a smirk "I like the way you think." I said with a smirk.

I looked forward and my eyes got wide at the sight of the army of flying ghosts heading right for us. "Uh Dan, maybe we should try a different way." I suggested but all I got was a smirk from the boy "What's the fun in that, hold on." "What do you mean hold on, your holding me!" he didn't say anything as he speed up and charged at the army.

Danny POV

This was going to be fun, first I was holding Rin under the arms so there goes the ghost ray, so I just had to doge, easy right? I increased my speed as I flew god bless my enhanced strength making the guy not much of a burden.

The ghosts where all lower class, much like blobs and ectoplasm but some actually had a shape, many I have seen before and some never in my life. I flew past one as it tried to swipe me, ducked under a few as they tried to blast us, and went through one who was just ectoplasm. Phasing it off both me and Rin we continued onward.

However we stopped when I saw that I was now surrounded. I looked around and let out a sigh as I looked down at him, I let out a sadistic smirk as I tossed him in the air and started to fire ghost rays at all the ghosts in my way.

When that was done I lifted an arm out and caught Rins arm stopping his decent as he passed me. "Have a fun ride?" I asked with a smirk. Okay maybe the whole not holding grudges thing was a bit of a lie but whatever.

He glared at me for a moment before shaking his head "Do that again ghost boy." He didn't have to finish his warning. I just rolled my eyes and continued to fly straight toward the castle.

We landed gently letting go of his arms. He rolled his shoulders trying to get feeling back in them. I looked forward at the opening and narrowed my eyes as I started to head in Rin right behind me.

Rin POV

Okay this place gives new meaning to the term 'Haunted'. The feel alone was disturbing. We continued to walk well me walk him hovering in the air, show off. It still seemed strange and odd that this boy had two sides to him, one a normal scared teenage boy, the other a ghost hero who is barley scared of anything. But then I remember that scream, that horrible blood curdling scream the boy made. It made me think for a moment. "Hey just who is the knight anyway?" I ask him.

"He is known as the Fright Knight," he stated with ought looking back at me "Known as the ghost of Halloween, he is one of the mot powerful ghosts in the Ghost Zone where ghosts reside." He explained. I nodded "And the sword?"

He paused for a moment "It allows him to show one there true fear, so they could die from fright alone." he said "One slash, one stab, and you're seeing your worst fear." He said. I blinked a bit at him "What did you see?" I asked.

He stopped now standing completely still his head lowered and eyes closed. I blinked as I passed him and looked back at him. "Dan?" I asked a bit confused. He opened his eyes and looked at me. I blinked as I saw a mixer of fear, sadness and anger. "I'm fine," he said going ahead of me."Just promise me one thing." He said. I nodded as he looked away from me "Never call me Dan." He said his voice cold as ice.

I stared at him a bit surprised by the tone but nodded anyway "Alright." He nodded and looked forward "Where close." He said. I blinked and narrowed my eyes "Okay."

We approached some kind of room the door was on the floor some ways away, as if someone had blasted it open. We entered quietly and hid behind some pillars. The room was huge, if anything it looked like the inside of a church, with strange green stain glass windows with an image I could not make out.

However what did get my attention where some steps that led to an altar and there standing in front of it was that knight holding my sword. I glared and growled low at him wanting to charge at him, but stayed back, to see what he was up too.

I saw him say a couple things before placing the sword on the altar then a bright blue light eliminated it casting it and the top of the altar on blue fire. I hear him laugh as I watched shocked, just what the hell was this guy doing?

Danny POV

The sword and Rin catching on fire was one thing, now an altar what next, the castle, the school, this is getting annoying. I looked over at Rin and saw he was staring wide eyed at the altar and at the knight. I looked back over and turned intangible and moved closer so I could hear what he was saying.

"Now," he started "With the devils sword in place, you will be one step closer in returning for your revenge my master." He stated bowing at the altar. I let out an annoyed sigh "Why do all the bad guys I know have to reveal their master plan?" I asked him now becoming visible. "I mean really is it too much to ask for a villain to actually think of their plan instead of saying it." I sighed placing a hand over my face.

The knight got to his feet fast jumping back and pulling his own sword out of his scabbard. "Phantom, But how?" he asked shock evident in his voice. "Come on knight, you think a little trip to Halloween Town is enough to take me down? And also who else do you know that can pull this look off?" I asked spinning in place with a smirk.

He charged at me swiping his sword down to try and get me, I dodged it and moved away from him, I may joke around but I know he is a serious threat. I glared at him but still held my smirk "Getting lazy with those sword swings aren't ya?" I asked in a mocking manner. He charged again and I held my hand out and fired a ghost way witch collided with his sword sending it a different way. My smirk disappeared as I charged at him as well.

He slashed at me from the side but I avoided and went for a standard right hook, he dodged it as well. I jumped back landing on my feet as he charged at me, I held my hands out as my smirk returned, he lifted his sword ready to block but instead felt my fist on the side of his helmet.

He skidded back a bit then looked at me his green eyes now narrowing at me. I shook my hand trying to ignore the pain as well as get the feeling back, it may not look it but hitting that tin can hurts, a lot.

He stood up now and glared at me well I guess glared, hard to tell when his eyes are just green lights. "You have grown boy" he said. I just chuckled a bit "Thanks, I guess" I said. He nodded "But sadly even if you have grown, you are still no match for me." He said starting to walk over to the altar.

My eyes narrowed as I followed his movements. "We'll see about that!" I said charging him my fists glowing a shade of green. He only stood there as I hit him having him go through the blue fire. I let out a sigh as I floated over to him my hand glowing ready to fire at him "Give up?" I asked.

But before I even noticed I was flung back hitting the wall hard and falling to the floor face first. Pain rocked my back as I slowly looked up and my eyes got wide as I saw Fright Knight standing up and seeming to get bigger, the purple flames that surrounded his helmet and what resembled a cape turned a shade of blue, his green eyes turned as well from a glowing green to a demonic red.

I stared in shock and horror as my ghost sense was going crazy. He finally stood straight and looked at me laughing; my body froze when I saw those demonic eyes. "So-"he started his voice much deeper than before "-this is the power of the devil himself?" he asked himself than laughed a bone chilling laugh "I like it."

I stood up mustering all the courage I had and glared at the new Fright Knight. "Let's test it." he said his vision returning to me, I glared at him but then my eyes got wide as I felt intense pain in my gut, I looked to my side and saw he was there and his knee was on my gut. He let out a laugh as blood started to fall from my shocked open mouth.

"So much power, so much potential!" He said lifting me with his leg and tossing me to the side. I skidded for a bit before actually stopping. I never felt pain like that before. I tried to move but couldn't. I looked up and saw that he was there his green sword in his hand. "Now ghost boy, let's send you back to your nightmare forever this time." He said with an eerie calm voice. I closed my eyes as he raised his sword waiting for the end to come.

It never came. I opened my eyes to see what happened and they grew wide as I saw the familiar blue jacket and pants as well as black hair of "Rin!" The sword was in his shoulder blood coming from the wound, his arms where stretched out. The knight blinked for a moment "You?" he asked as he pulled the sword back and kicked Rin to the wall where he slid down.

"Rin!" I shouted again trying to get his attention, my body still not moving. I saw him shake, and I thought that he was entering the nightmare world. "No." I said to myself. "What did you think you were doing?" I asked him.

I was shocked when I heard him chuckle a bit "I thought that was part of the job." he said his voice low almost a whisper. "What?" I asked. He looked up at me "Isn't it part of the hero job des-description?" he asked. My eyes got wide at that. He chuckled a bit "I can tell you this, I'm no hero, but I still protect my-my friends." He said.

My eyes widened at that, before closing them then nodding with a smile "Right" he smiled to but gasped when he felt the sword go through his gut. "RIN!" I shouted but it was no use. I saw his eyes glaze over and him slouch on the blade.

I watched as the knight pull the sword from his body the wound started to slowly heal. He laughed loudly reeling his sword back to slash him again "That's very touching, but too bad you have to die now." He said. Something in me snapped at that as I felt something. I slowly fought the pain and got to my feet, to the shock of the knight.

"I'm going to say this once" my voice cold, I looked up at him my body glowing a shade of blue. I felt the room cool down and saw him drop the sword to the ground as it started to be surrounded with ice. I opened my eyes witch glowed a light blue. "You never," I raised my glowing hand at him "hurt my friends."
