In the late evening, Danny sat in the library, reading the book which told the story of the battle against Pariah Dark. However, as he read through it, it didn't sound as heroic or glorious as his father had told it. It sounded like…like a blood filled battle filled with horror.
His reading was interrupted when Jason entered the room and sat down in front of him. He noticed the book and asked, "Doing some late night reading huh?"
"Yeah. It's the Battle of the Evil Ghost King." Danny answered. "You know, this is my father's favourite story and he used to tell it to us all the time."
"Well, your father had good taste in authors." Jason agreed. "Are you enjoying it?"
Danny looked down and answered, "Honestly, it's not at all like how my dad told it. I mean, he always made it seem so heroic and like a great victory. But when actually reading the chronicles, it all sounds like…"
"Like hell?" Jason guessed.
Danny looked down and nodded, confirming Jason's guess was correct. Jason nodded and closed the book as he said, "Come on boy. I think that's enough reading for tonight. You have a big day tomorrow, for I'm gonna teach you how to really fly."
The next day, a huge storm with thunder, lightning and everything had begun and Jason was flying along with Danny, Jazz, Tucker, Frostbite and Sam right in the middle of it! Apparently, this was his way of teaching them how to really fly.
"Feel the gutters! The currents in the rain!" Jason instructed. Exhaustion was clearly shown on the other's faces. "A scuffer! Baggy wrinkles!"
"Baggy wrinkles?! He could have at least given us a vocabulary lesson." Sam commented.
"This is definitely the way to learn!" Jason said.
"Oh yes! This is exactly how I want to learn to fly! In a monsoon!" Tucker said sarcastically, as he continued to push against the wind and the rain.
"The air currents warm in different ways, you see... ...from the sky to the ocean. You can't fight them. You have to feel them with your cores." Jason instructed.
Danny listened and continued to fly further and further ahead of them. Following Jason's teachings, he began to trust his core and headed for the eye of the storm.
"Aha! You see that one? Danny, see it? Go for it. That's it! Use your core, boy. Trust it! Fly inside." Jason called out.
Danny closed his eyes for a moment and when he opened them, he suddenly felt like he was flying in a whole new perspective. He flew amongst the currents of the wind and allowed the rain to fly with him.
"He see it. He sees it." Jason whispered, watching Danny in awe.
Danny closed his eyes and continued to fly with the storm. Trusting his core all the way as he was now flying with his back below.
"That's it. Now hold it. Hold it boy." Jason said.
Danny opened his eyes once more and suddenly, started to panic as he saw he was heading right towards Frostbite. Danny crashed into Frostbite and was now falling towards the ocean below. Jason immediately began to dive down towards him, before Danny could hit the ocean, Jason grabbed him and straightened him back up.
Danny floated there, breathing heavily and wondered what the heck happened. Jason then said to Danny, "Boy come to my house."
Danny nodded and all of them began to return to the island.
Meanwhile, Vlad Plasmius and the other two ghosts had finally arrived at St. Aegelious and were watching from the shadows. They looked over a high ledge to see Blizzard and Bertrand mind controlling more children, through the red crystals.
"Lord Plasmius, the boy was right. Those children are in danger, we have to rescue them." One of the ghosts said quietly.
"Caution. We mustn't rush in blindly. We don't know what we're up against here." Vlad said. They all then saw the monstrous vampire bats fly over them.
"We'll follow those bats. I bet wherever they're heading, we'll be able to discover the full extent of their plan." Vlad ordered.
They followed the bats, deeper and deeper into the Pure One's hideout. They then stopped and hid behind the rocks. Vlad looked ahead and saw two Pure One ghosts standing guard and then looked up to see another Pure One on a ledge.
He turned to the other two ghosts and ordered, "I'll take out the one on the ledge, you two will get the two down on the platform."
The ghosts nodded and waited until Vlad took off and then, they both dived down and tackled the two Pure Ones to the ground, but just when they were about to move them, they found that the Pure Ones were nothing but statues made out of straw.
"What is this?" One of them asked, completely confused.
"Something's not right." The other one said.
They both suddenly heard screeching and turned to see two vampire bats on some kind of pulley system. The bats pressed down on it and suddenly, there was a green flash of light and all that could be heard was the sound of the two ghost's screams.
