Ariel woke in a blur. She rubbed her dry eyes to see a bright light shining in front of her she put out her arms to move it and saw Danny, Skye, and Jason strapped to a machine. They were all sleeping, and they looked peaceful. Ariel sat up and looked around. Light spots still distorted her vision as she made out the laboratory. She saw a big computer and a portal of some kind. She guessed it was a ghost portal, but the trap wouldn't work without everyone going through.
She felt something missing inside her and pained to know what it was. She walked over and freed Skye and Jason from their straps. She hesitated before undoing Danny's. She didn't trust him after he had made her lose her only chance to condemn the ghosts to the ghost world only. She couldn't move Danny, but she carried Skye and Jason to the portal. She put her arm through it and pulled her arm back out. It looked normal. She took a vehicle she was guessing was easy to drive and placed all three of the sleeping bodies in the back of the vehicle. She got on the driver's side and pushed a button that said 'GO.' She started flying through the ghost realm. She found a huge castle and landed her vehicle slowly before entering the floating land. She walked out without taking her friend and siblings.
She opened the door to see a sword lain on the floor and several pumpkins in the huge room. She picked up the sword and it felt light in her hand. Danny came up from behind her and grabbed her shoulder. She yelped and dropped the sword.
"What are you doing with the Fright Knight's sword?" Danny asked.
"The who? I was just looking at it." Ariel sighed, Danny didn't seem to like her right now, and she didn't like him.
"The Fright Knight, he's a knight and when his sword passes through you, it sends you to your deepest fears." Danny looked at it and looked at all the pumpkins around. "Did you take this out of one of the pumpkins?"
"No, I found it on the floor." Ariel watched as he plunged the sword into a pumpkin. Nothing happened. Ariel looked at Danny as if she expected something to happen. He was confused and kept staring at the sword.
"Something should have happened. The Fright Knight's ghost should have been sucked into this pumpkin." Danny looked at Ariel fearfully. "The Fright Knight is free."
Ariel didn't know who the Fright Knight was, but he sounded scary. She walked over to him to give him comfort, but it didn't seem to help. "Why is there a red dot on your forehead?" Ariel noticed.
"What?" Danny touched his forehead and felt nothing.
"It's some sort of laser," Ariel commented.
Danny's eyes went wide and jumped out of the way as a small dart whizzed by his ear. Ariel realized what's going on and stared running away from the red light. A big ghost appeared with weapons scattered across his body.
"Who's that?" Ariel asked.
"I am Skulker! The greatest hunter of all time!"
Danny's blue lines surrounded his body and he changed into his ghost form and flew at Skulker. Ariel changed and saw the neon pink ring move up her body as she changed. She flew back to the vehicle as Danny fought Skulker. Danny had left them alone and Ariel was worried. She checked on them, Jason and Skye were still there. She shook them, but they wouldn't wake. Ariel sighed and shut and locked the door. She checked and saw that she couldn't phase through the car, just in case. She couldn't and with a sigh of relief, flew back to the fight.
