Khione lunged forward, shouting rune after rune and obliterating scores of skeletons, her body lighting up like a Christmas tree.
"Eat Fire and Ice Bone Breath!" Khione shouted.
Weapons popped up from every conceivable place on Skulker's body.
The Box Ghost popped up.
"Beware! For my place of employment has given me a new weapon!" Box Ghost held up a relatively harmless piece of bubble wrap. "The Bubble Wrap- OF DEATH!"
Klemper used his ice breath on some of the Skeletons, freezing them. The Box Ghost wrapped them in his Bubble Wrap (OF DEATH!), and Klemper pushed them off the land.
"Now will you be my friend?" Klemper asked.
"NEVER!" Box Ghost said.
The Dragon Ghost, ridden by Poindexter, spewed flame at the skeletons. Ember took out a skeletal dragon with a power chord. She missed the next one, which was smashed by Skulker a second later anyway. He turned around to face Danny and Ember.
"Now, go! Defeat him! So I will be free to hunt you another day!" Skulker said.
"Guy really knows how to motivate ya." Danny said sarcastically.
"Go, Danny." Khione kissed the Battlesuit, and Danny blushed.

Danny flew into the Keep. He reached the doors to the throne room. "Well, this is it." He blew the doors open. Standing right there was Pariah Dark, in all his glory. Danny groaned angrily.
"A little ragged round the edges, eh, child?" Pariah said.
"Whaddya say..." Danny flew closer. "We ditch the snappy patter and get right to the part where I kick your butt!"
"Very well, I accept your challenge!" Pariah said.
He flew towards Danny. He put up a shield to stop him. His power was now at 40%, and his strength was limited. He was now very tired. He fired ectoplasm at Pariah, which knocked him into his throne. He was now weaker than ever. Pariah got up.
"Having that much power, it's a burden, isn't it, child?" Pariah said.
He threw his mace at Danny. He jumped up to dodge it, but it just came back around. It hit him in the back and came back to its owner's hand. Once that was over with, Pariah kicked Danny.
Danny flew into the wall. He got up, sweating.
"The power isn't the burden. The burden is in how I use it. And I've been using it poorly lately." Danny focused very, very hard. After a bit of focusing, for the first time, he was able to generate clones. Say hello to Dannies 2, 3, and 4! Danny now had 25% power. The Dannies then flew at Pariah.
The Dannies hit Pariah with beams from all directions. Angered, Pariah swung his mace at Danny 4, making him disappear One of the Dannies got Pariah in the back, knocking him over. The three remaining Dannies walked up to him.
"Now leave my town ALONE!" The Dannies chorused.
They punched Pariah.

In Amity Park, Tucker landed the Specter Speeder in front of Fenton Works. He looked up at the sky, which, for one fleeting moment, flickered to a normal sky instead of a Ghost Zone sky.
"Whoa." Tucker said.

Danny 3 was hit by a beam, making him disappear.
"Surrender, child! You can't possibly win!" Pariah said.
"I don't have to win." Danny 2 pointed out.
His hands charged. He fired his blasts at the wall, revealing the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep.
"I just have to make sure that you lose!" Danny 2 finished.
Danny 1 flew up and held the Sarcophagus open for Pariah. Pariah was looking a bit scared now! Danny 1 fired a bit of ectoplasm, knocking off the Crown of Fire. Danny 2 caught it.
"No! NO!" Pariah screamed.
Danny sealed the Crown into the top of the Sarcophagus, then flew up and, with extreme difficulty, pushed Pariah into the Sarcophagus. Danny 1 closed it. Danny 2, all worn out, retracted back into Danny 1, who was now just Danny.
A pale hand reached into the Sarcophagus and liberated the Ring of Rage from the King. Khione flew the Ring back to it's place of Sealing and it deactivated and a force field appeared around it.
A whitish-blue oval of light surrounded both the Sarcophagus and Amity Park. The Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep shook violently.. Danny groaned, almost at his limit.
10%...9%...8%...
Pariah still didn't wanna sleep.
7%...6%...5%...
Danny was now sweating from exhaustion. He slumped down. Just as he was about to die and Pariah was about to break loose, unleashing all heck on both worlds, an anonymous black-gloved hand turned the Skeleton Key in the lock, sealing Pariah back in, and Khione caught Danny in her arms.
After Pariah was locked in, the Ghost Zone sky over Amity Park reverted back to a normal sky. The residents cheered. The Skeletons still in town turned brown and crumple to dust.
Back at the Keep, Danny looked over. The black-gloved hand belonged to Vlad Plasmius, who was standing with the Fright Knight and all the other ghosts.
"No! Nooo!" Pariah screamed.
Khione was still cradling Danny, and looked fiercely at Plasmius for an explanation.
"I don't understand..." Danny said.
"What? That I used two 14-year-old pawns to turn a knight, and topple a king?" Danny's eyesight began to waver as he loses consciousness. "It's chess, Daniel. Of course you don't understand, but-but then you never really did."
Danny lost consciousness completely.
