Danny backed away from the floating knight. The shields floating around him parted enough for him to see the vampire hunter. "It has been an amusing fight, but I am afraid I must end this." The shields cocooned Fright Knight again as the spears and swords began to spin around him at high speeds.
The ghost teen ducked several swords and shot into the air. "Need more power!" He swung his whip. Three spears shot up and tangled up the weapon. They ripped the weapon free of his grasp. "That can't be good." He tried going in tangible, but the weapons changed as he changed. "Now that isn't fair!" He flew around the arena as the weapons flew at him. Ace tried to lunge at the knight, but a small shield smacked him away.
"Getting tired yet whelp?" The Fright Knight laughed as Danny swooped down and picked up his dog before a spear impaled him.
"Why don't you try fighting me one on one?"
Fright Knight sighed, "My master would prefer if I just get the job done. So I'm afraid you will never get a fair fight." Several metal shields flew around him. He was trapped with only a small hole out. Danny tried to use his ghost beams to blast free, but the shields held fast. Fright Knight held his hand up and dozens of spears flew around him. "You'll live through this. You'll be paralyzed, but breathing."
"Gee thanks!" The spears shot at him. Danny closed his eyes and awaited the impact. He heard a loud howl and opened his eyes. Wulf had jumped in front of the spears. "Wulf!" The werewolf ghost smiled and dropped to the ground. His body exploded in white light and a statue of tiger appeared.
"What is that?" Danny grabbed a green gem from his pocket and bashed his way to it. He placed the gem into the tiger's mouth and the statue vanished. Both Fright Knight and Danny looked around for a minute. "Well that was point less!" Fright Knight summoned his weapons. "Now to end this!" The weapons started to fly, but Danny's whip suddenly exploded with white light. It shot ahead of the weapons and Danny caught it.
He set Ace down. "Guess it is worth another try!" As he swung the whip. The whip smashed several of the weapons in half. "So the earth statue gives my whip a power up. Nice!"
Fright Knight shook his head. "Your new weapon will not stop mine." His shields formed a large wall and floated over Danny. "Prepare to be crushed." The wall shot downward. The whip wrapped around Danny's fist and he slammed it into the wall as it hit. The shields at the center of the wall exploded into shrapnel. Danny flew into the air with Ace on his back.
"Round two!" Danny left had erupted with white light and threw a white holy beam. Several shields rose up to block the attack. The beam ripped into the metal shields and blasted Fright Knight across the arena. "Guess my whip wasn't the only thing to get boosted."
Fright Knight landed on the ground. All of his shields were gone and he only had a dozen or so spears left. "I will not lose with out a fight." His remaining weapons surrounded him.
Danny tightened his fist as his whip continued to burn his hand. "Need to end this now!" Danny landed several feet away. "Bring it on!" He grabbed his holy book and held it up.
"I know longer care. DIE!" The spears shot at Danny.
Danny's chain whip flew around the book in a circle. "Divine Barrier!" Multicolored light burst from the book and formed a large energy shield. The spears impacted the shield and shot back at Fright Knight.
"Damn it all!" The spears impacted the knight. Many impaled him straight through. "I refuse to lose this fight. "Get Him!" Every creature in the coliseum jumped up and began to swarm towards him.
Danny dropped to a knee. Smoke was rising from his body. "Don't have the power to keep going." Ace barked as the creatures surrounded them. The collar around the dog's neck sparked with red energy. In a flash of red light, Ace transformed into a twenty foot, three-headed dog. Danny gulped as the now transformed Ace started a growl that shook the arena. All the creatures looked from Ace to Danny. Danny gave them an extremely sinister grin. "Fetch boy!" There was a chorus of screams as Ace jumped into the crowd.
Danny limped to his bike. He carried a sleeping Ace in his left arm. "Good work boy!" The collar he had gotten from Cerberus had vanished shortly after Ace returned to his normal form. "Have to remind myself to bring a very large chew toy with me next time I'm in Hell." He set Ace into the bike's saddlebag. "Only a few hours until daybreak. Better get some rest. Only two more days left." He mounted his bike and started his journey back to the central safe house.
He stopped as he crossed the large street the led directly to Master Tower. It was two miles away. He spotted a black moving cloud near the bottom of the tower. "What is that?" The cloud was moving erratically up and down. Danny made the choice to leave, but then the cloud burst apart. The cloud it seamed was actually a flock of giant black ravens. The cause of the separation was a large fireball. A man caring a woman flew out of the fire and crashed into the street several feet away. "Sam!" He abandoned his bike and flew over.
The man turned out to be Burn. "Hey!"
Danny dropped down next to Sam. She was dressed in a black robe. "How!"
"Vlad brought her in for another session. I figured, what the hell?" The ravens cawed in unison and flew around them. An eight-foot tall man walked up the street. His head was that of a black bird and he had large black wings.
"Who is that?"
"Karasuman! Demon lord of the ravens!"
"Great!" Danny stood up, "Not sure how much energy I can summon."
"Just go!" Burn summoned balls of fire in his hands. "I plan on going to Hell anyway."
"But!"
"Go and be with your love. And let me go to mine!"
Danny nodded and managed to gather enough energy to pick Sam up. "Thanks!" Burn flew at the demon lord as the ravens descended upon him. Danny flew at his bike and threw Sam on. He revved it up and shot out of there.
Vlad watched the events from his balcony. "Splendid! I love when things go according to plan."
Walker bowed behind him. "So when will you spring your trap?"
"When the sun goes down. The vampire armor I had grafted to her is inert during the day."
He laughed in his darker voice. "After they get one day of peaceful slumber. The nightmare can truly begin!"
