Chapter 6

Aries smiled as he led Rosa to a cave on the outskirts of town. The gun was still pointed at her, so if she even dared to move, he would blast it right through her. It would be messy to clean up, but he couldn't let her get away now. When they got there, he forced her to the ground. Then he tied her arms behind her and bonded her feet together.

"Now, don't use your ghost powers to get out of those." He ordered. Rosa only nodded. She realized that she was trapped, that she was gone. Danny and the others would never find her. The place was too remote. She internally wished that some person would come by and see what was happening and call the police. But after a few hours, Rosa began to give up hope on that too. She glanced at Aries, who was busy talking to himself. His eyes would change green to brown again. She wondered how crazy he was. But the eye glowing thing seemed very familiar. Almost like Danny's. Her eyes widened at this. Could it be that Aries is half ghost too? Rosa wondered. Then, finally Aries turned to her. He had green eyes. He ran over and untied her. What?

"Go hurry, run! Before he wakes up!" Aries ordered.

"What?" Rosa was confused.

"Hurry, before evil Aries takes over...ugh..." Aries stumbled back into a wall. "No...no don't!" He fell to his knees as two red rings surrounded him. Rosa gasped. He opened his eyes and they faded from green to brown. "No.." he whispered, as the rings went up and down on him. His clothes turned into a red and black lab suit, his hair turned from black to red. He looked back up at Rosa once more and his eyes changed from the pleading brown, to a sinister green. He formed a smirk when the transformation was complete. Rosa felt her insides tighten. She knew this was far from good..

Danny paced back and forth in Rosa's room. Once everyone had exchanged stories, the pieces started to fit together. Obviously, Aries was planning more than just kidnapping Rosa. He was planning on taking over the world! At least the evil side of him was. But there was another good side of Aries that they had hardly seen. Apparently the accident Aries was in, caused his good self to die, and become a half ghost. Danny was still very confused how that happened. But Star said that his mother said that Aries had claimed that a angel or spirit saved him. Something saved Aries from dying, causing him to only half die. He decided that the bad self would be able to control his ghost powers and use them for evil purposes, so he risked his human life to protect everyone else. Danny actually started to feel bad for the guy. He didn't ask for this. It was the only way he could live. But now evil Aries has a plan and is going to try to take over his ghost self. Throwing the good Aries in a closet and keeping him there. Danny's mind raced with so many thoughts he felt himself inhale deeply to keep from collapsing. They were all in deep trouble. Even Danny began to think that this was over their heads.

Star stared out the window in sadness. If she had only came a few minutes earlier. Then Rosa would have still been here. In a way, she helped Rosa get kidnapped. Rosa needed her, and instead of protecting her, Star merely lost her temper and stormed off. Behind Rosa's demanding voice, Star knew that really Rosa was pleading with her to help her. Star knew, because she had done the same thing when she first came to Amity Park. But Rosa never gave up on her. No matter what Star said or did. These past few months had been the best of her life. Until Aries came. God she really wanted to kick Aries's butt now. Like all evil, he must be destroyed. Star knew she was the only one who could do it. She wouldn't fail them, not again.

Sam was sitting down on Rosa's computer chair and glanced at Danny. He looked really bad, pacing back and forth. He was really worried about Rosa. They all were. Still, Sam felt like her and Danny needed to talk. She wished that this whole thing was over with, she had to tell Danny. She rejected her earlier feelings about waiting for Danny to choose. Just like a girl like her to be fickle. She needed to know how Danny felt about her. That's when her mind turned to Rosa. God she must be scared being with Aries. Sam couldn't imagine herself in that situation and coming out of it emotionally undamaged. If they were able to save Rosa, she wouldn't be the same Rosa, that is for sure.

Jazz was on Rosa's bed. Out of all of them, she was the most concerned about them all as a whole. They had no idea things would just keep getting bigger for them when they started this. Danny had no idea when he became half ghost that his life would change forever. But that is what happens to a person. They change, and then there is no going back. All of them have to live with responsibilities that they are way too young to handle. Even Jazz herself felt she was too young to handle all of this. Now Danny was responsible for all of their lives. Especially Rosa's life. If Aries does kill her, Danny would never forgive himself. Jazz knew that much. And if Rosa did survive this, could Danny have the guts to risk everyone's lives again? She knew something bigger would happen, it always happened. Especially when dealing with the unknown. Another thing popped into her mind. Would they destroy Aries? She knew Star well enough to know that she wouldn't hesitate to destroy anything that threatened her friends. But then again, Star stopped him from killing Vlad. Star was full of teenage girl hormones, that much she knew. Jazz smiled softly, remembering how happy all three of the Halfa's were before this happened. Could Rosa and Danny change Aries like they did to Star? Or would they destroy him? Could they destroy another human being? Jazz bit her lip in frusteration. She was beginning to get a headache. Her brain was used to handling this kind of pressure, but she still wished that the pain would cease.

Tucker was probably the least concerned of them all. Sure he was afraid Rosa would get hurt. But what would happen, would happen. He wouldn't sweat it. Instead he thought about making a smart alack remark or something, but then he saw Star's face and knew better than to crack a joke right then. All of them seemed to be in their own worlds and Tucker knew better than to try to make them laugh when they were in their worlds. His thoughts wandered to Rosa. He hoped that Aries wouldn't do anything bad to Rosa. He liked her. She was a great person to talk to. Also to joke around with. Tucker had suspected that Danny might like Rosa more than a friend. Of course, Sam and Danny also had crushes on each other. He reminded himself to sell tickets to when Sam, Danny and Rosa all faced off about it. He smiled to himself and leaned back against the wall. Then suddenly another thought sprang into his mind. What he didn't realize was that everyone in the room had the exact same thought at the same moment.

Where did he take Rosa?

Good Aries screamed as he was thrown into Aries's human body, which was at the moment, asleep. Everything around him was pitch black. He couldn't change back or move, or anything! He growled in frusteration. He almost had Rosa free! He had to stop Aries's plan somehow! His form soon saw Evil Aries's green eyes.

Stop this! Go and take over the world! But leave Rosa alone!!

Why should I? Shes perfect. So pure, so beautiful, so mine..

Okay, you've skipped from evil to INSANE!!! You cant hold a girl hostage!

Watch me Aries. Oh, by the way... that's who I will be from now on, Aries, god of War.

Its times like these I wish my parents named me something like Theodore.

Good Aries sighed and thought for a second. Evil and Insane Aries was planning to become a god and control the world. There has to be a loop hole. Something that he doesn't know... Aries concentrated. He had to tell the others where they were. They had to stop him from destroying everybody! It was now that he realized, he had to die.

Everyone in Rosa's room was still deep in thought, as a strange message suddenly filled each of their minds.

Hurry! Were at Ceaser Hill! Please stop me from making a huge mistake!

Abruptly, everyone's eyes widened and they all looked at each other. It sounded like the good Aries. Sam turned her chair around and signed onto the computer. She soon found Ceaser Hill on the map of Amity park.

"There! Its about a quarter of a mile south of here." Sam said, glancing back at the others. Star and Danny were getting ready. Both turned back into their ghost forms. Star smirked, her white hair gleaming in the moonlight. It was way past dark. But they had no choice but to loose sleep and make their parents worry.

"Jazz...go home and tell mom and dad something.." Danny told her.

"Same here to Sam and Tucker." Star said, glancing at the two. "Make sure that our parents don't call the cops on us. We don't need any parental action as we take down Aries."

Jazz gulped as Star said that, but she nodded and ran out of the room.

Sam smiled. "Good luck." She said as she also ran out. Finally it was Tucker's turn.

"Uh, just try not to get yourselves killed, I do not want to explain any of this to your parents." Tucker grinned and ran out after them.

Star and Danny smiled at each other, then phased through the wall into the night sky.
