Hobbes was sitting alone outside in the rain, quietly. He wasn't quite sure what to do, now. Calvin's body was still at the pool, but was more importantly in Hobbes's heart. He wasn't going to do anything stupid like Jason and Marcus had, like go off an attempt to avenge Calvin's death through ghostbusting. But he couldn't just do nothing... As he thought, our three favorite ghosts, Boo, Wendell, and Quiver flew around, celebrating their victory.

"We like, totally busted those ghostbusters!" laughed Wendell. "Dude, there's so much irony there, it's not funny!" Boo noticed Hobbes. "Hey, check it out, guys! It's Mr. 'Sixth Sense' Tiger! You know, Quiver, you could actually scare him!"

Terrified as ever, Quiver approached Hobbes. "Uh...boo?" Hobbes turned around, and with a look of pure hatred, gave the fiercest roar he'd ever given. Quiver disappeared in terror. Boo and Wendell also decided to leave. "Wow, talk about an upset cat!"

The second the other two vanished, Snoopy, Woodstock, and Quincy came. Snoopy did the "speaking" for them, as he was the only one who could speak...sort of. "Hobbes? We can also see the ghosts. At least, I think Quincy can...it's hard to tell with this guy."

"It doesn't matter. We can't do anything about it..."

"What we need is an exorcism, and we've chosen a guy to do it...Linus!

Soon, Linus was standing with Snoopy, Woodstock, Quincy, and the now stuffed Hobbes. In his hands, Linus held an illustrated prayer book. "I don't know if this will work, but it's worth a try, right, Snoopy? Here it goes..." But before Linus could say anything, a huge windstorm started up by the sprites, blowing him away. Snoopy watched Linus disappear into the clouds and thought to himself, "That was pointless."

Once again, the animals were visited by the Darkling;s spokesghosts, Boo, Quivers, and Wendell.

"You shouldn't have done that, you filthy freaks!" hissed Boo. "The Darkling HATES Exorcists! We're gonna send you to a place where you can't bother us!" Using telekinetic powers, the three ghosts lifted the four animals in the air and dropped them into a Mario book that Wendell was holding. The animals all landed in a dark forest inside the book. "Stupid ghosts!" Hobbes said.

Upon hearing this, they were surrounded by a swarm of Boos, who never liked to hear insulted ghosts. "Now he's done it..." thought Snoopy.

Back around camp, the Eds were still looking for the book, this time in the bushes. "Maybe it's in here..." Eddy's possession at this point, was wearing off, so he was the first to crack. "Why are we even looking? The kids have all run away, so no one's even gonna watch us do the ritual!" Ghastly was, of course, sitting right by him, so a simple touch sent Eddy back into anti-free will mode and he quickly continued searching. Suddenly, Ed pulled out the book! "A book I've found!"

Edd took a close look at it. "Ed, you've done it! That book has the ritual!"

As always, the Darkling watched the boys from below. "Preform it! Preform it NOW!"

Above ground, the Eds joined hands and started chanting the odd words in the book. It was in a language that even Edd didn't know. Whatever it was, it was restoring the Darkling, for he soon began to form in front of them, slowly getting stronger. The boys noticed him and stopped.

"Look at the size of that bug, guys!" said Ed.

"Bug!" growled the Darkling. "Foolish mortal, you dare call me a bug! Continue the ritual!"

Ed didn't hear the Darkling and started dancing around the hulking spirit. "I can't wait to squash it!" Eddy wasn't that impressed, either. "We're summoning that thing? We must be crazy!" Edd, always one step ahead of the others, figured out what was really going on. "Someone's been pulling strings, Eddy! We've been tricked into doing something evil! I'll bet that the Darkling will suck out our souls the second the ritual is finished!" This delighted Ed even more. "Way cool! I want my soul sucked out!"

The Darkling was all-powerful, but anyone would have been driven crazy at this point, even him. "KEEP CHANTING! THE RITUAL WILL BE FULFILLED!" Ghastly calmly plunged his hooks into them. "Keep going, boys."

Like mindless drones, the Eds continued to say the strange words, but now in front of a cheering audience of horrifying ghosts.
