Fable of a Phantom
Meet the Commanders
And so the war between the Dark Sin and Danny's friends had begun. Both parties were ready to battle but Pariah had no concerns about his foes. Danny stood together with his friends as he got ready to unleash his found monster powers.
"It seems they truly do not know who they are up against. Release the soldiers." Said Pariah.
"Understood, master." Said Fright Knight. Fright Knight and the other commanders then walked away as they decided to get ready for the battle.
"Boy, you have no idea the mistake you have just made. Shanoa, take Perona to the underground." Said Pariah as he returned to his throne.
"Yes master." Said Shanoa as she bowed to Pariah. She then walked over to Perona and started walking down with her. She looked over to see that even though Perona was sad, she was happy that her friends were there to save her.
"Don't lose faith on them Perona. They will save you." Said Shanoa as she carried on walking.
"Are you sure? I-I mean….can they really? I saw Danny almost die by the hands of my father." Said Perona.
"Do not worry Shanoa, this time he has his friends to back him up. Not to mention, Pandora has taught him a few things since last time. So trust him….trust Danny." Said Shanoa.
"Okay, I believe in them. I just hope they can make it." Said Perona.
"Indeed, but that's not what we should worry about. For now, we need to escape." Said Shanoa.
"How?" asked Perona.
"Danny and Daedra should be here soon. They will take you away as soon as they reach us." Said Shanoa.
Back to the battle field
"Okay guys, it's time." Said Danny.
"Definitely! But guys, what about them?" asked Ember as she pointed over to the opening gates. Just then, more than millions of skeleton soldiers began flying out in a formation. Danny and the rest quickly flew back to see the large number of soldiers. After flying up, they looked down to the soldiers as if they were grass covering the castle.
"That is a lot of soldiers." Said Desiree.
"Way to state the obvious." Said Ember.
"So what now? We don't have time for these guys." Said Kitty.
"Well, we aren't gonna be getting to that castle with all these soldiers in front of us." Said Spectra.
"Well then I say we take them down." Said Daedra.
Danny then looked over to the warrior girl and saw the passion burning within her to go save her father and sister. Danny spoke to her about what happened and how she was under the control of Pariah. At first she wasn't ready to accept it but once Danny shared with her the memories of her past, she soon began accepting the truth. She decided to fight by Danny and save her family.
"Well, it's not the worst idea. With our power, I say we can do it." Said Ember as she got her guitar ready.
"Well then we better hurry it up!" said Dora as she transformed into her dragon form and took flight. She flew down toward the soldiers and started burning them down with her fire.
"Way to start us off." Said Kitty as she flew towards the soldiers as well. She immediately began charging her hands with energy and flew towards the soldiers. As the soldiers got ready to fight back, she immediately blasted the energy in her hands towards them. As the energy carried on speeding towards them, it began enlarging. It got bigger and bigger until it finally took they took form of two giant black cats.
The two black cats then began shredding through the skeleton soldiers and began destroying everything. Kitty also joined in but then she started transforming herself. Her hands began growing claws and she had beast eyes with cat ears. As she started swinging her claws, she sent out two air slash which split up a group of skeletons with ease.
"Whoa, I never knew she could do that." Said Danny with awe. He looked over to Dora and Kitty who had gotten a whole lot stronger in a short amount of time. He knew that he couldn't himself fall behind.
"Those are but a few things we have up our non-existent sleeve. We're saving our powers for the real fight." Said Desiree as she flew down and morphed her hands into hammer. She quickly started smashing the skeletons with her giant hammer hands and started mowing them down with ease. She then morphed her hands into a rope and caught a group of skeletons. She quickly started spinning them around until she finally slammed them down with another group.
"Wow, she's so strong!" said Danny. As soon as Ember heard those words, she quickly decided to fly down and show off her powers as well. She strummed her guitar sending twin fire fists at a group of skeletons causing giant explosions around them. Immediately her flame turned red and she carried on strumming her guitar as she sent a giant wave of musical notes all over the soldiers. One by one, they were all burning down with her increase in power.
"Amazing, they got so strong in such a short period of time." Said Danny.
"Of course, knowing that a war was coming. I personally called them over after school was over so I could train them. They wanted to get stronger so that they could fight by your side during this moment." Said Pandora.
"So that was why you came to work at the school. For a second there, I thought you really wanted to teach there." Said Danny.
"Well that's true as well." Said Pandora. Danny then quickly over to Pandora seeing that she was actually telling the truth.
"Wait, what?! You're serious?" asked Danny.
"Of course. I can't let them get the upper hand now can I? By the way Danny, I still want that book report after all this is over." Said Pandora as she flew down and joined the rest of the gang to fight the army.
Danny just smiled as he watched his friends do their best to help him. He then turned over to Spectra and Daedra realising that things were still awkward between them.
"Spectra, Daedra…I know we didn't meet up on the best terms and that what I'm asking of you is really dangerous but all I can say now, is that I need your help." Said Danny but then Spectra just placed her finger on his lips and smiled at him.
"Danny, there's no need for this talk. When I decided to stay with you guys, I agreed to stick by you and help you until the end. I hope we can change what we had in the past and start new." Said Spectra as she lifted her finger.
"Thanks Spectra." Said Danny. Spectra simply smiled and flew down to the battle field with Pandora and started fighting back the skeletons in her shadow form. But with the power she absorbed from Danny, she had new powers of her own. She transformed her hands into dragon head and started firing flame towards the skeleton soldiers.
"You truly have a deep bond with these women don't you." Said Daedra as she looked over to Danny. Danny then smiled and realised that it was true, by helping them they were able to help him this time.
"Your right, I do. Even though I tried to help them out in my own way, in the end it felt I like I was the one who needed the help. It took me a while but now I realise that it is important to have friends by your side." Said Danny. Daedra then started realising about friends and what it meant. All her life she was away running with her father but then her life was stolen as she was mind controlled by Pariah to be her pawn. She never had time to make friends.
"Let's go. We cannot let them have all the fun." Said Daedra as she got her sword ready. Danny then nodded his head as the two flew down to the battle field and began fighting. Danny quickly summoned his twin lightning whips and started swinging them around as the soldiers got vaporized on touch. Daedra was swinging her sword with so force that one swing was strong enough to cut the ground.
They all carried on fighting against the soldiers with the best of their abilities. No one was feeling tired or fatigued from fighting back but even then, the soldiers number didn't seem like it was decreasing. If anything, it was barely changed due to the number of ghosts fighting against the soldiers.
"Darn it! No matter how many we bring down, they just keep coming!" cried Ember as she blasted more fire at the soldiers.
"Hate to say it but I agree with Ember! We're not getting anywhere fighting these guys." Yelled Desiree as she slammed her hand on the ground, crushing another group of soldiers.
"Danny, what're we gonna do?! This battle seems like it's gonna last forever!" said Daedra.
"(They're right! The number just doesn't decrease no matter what we do! At this rate, we'll never save Perona!)" thought Danny as he blasted lightning at the soldiers and disintegrated them. Just then, skeleton soldier's jumped on their wyverns and started flying towards them. Danny was about to attack but then a large blast flew in and destroyed the wyverns. He turned his head and couldn't help but smile.
"SAM, TUCKER, STAR!" cried Danny as he looked up and saw the spectre Speeder with the three inside.
"Good to see you too you jerk! Where have you been for the past few days?! Do you have any idea how worried we were?!" questioned Sam.
"Yeah dude, when you didn't come back. We thought you were gone. That is until Pandora finally gave us the message about what happened." Said Tucker.
"Guys, I'm sorry! But you can't stay here! It's too dangerous!" said Danny.
"Danny, don't worry. We're only here to bring in he reinforcements." Said Star as she grabbed the microphone.
"Reinforcements?" asked Danny.
He looked over to see the ghosts come out of the Spector speeder. Just then, Skulker, Walker, Box ghost, Klemper, Johny and many other ghosts came out. Star then waved goodbye as the Spector speeder then finally turned around and flew off.
"Normally I'd ask how you guys fit in the speeder but I'm more surprised you guys actually agreed to fight. Looks like there is a heart under that metal, Skulker." Said Danny.
"Don't even think about it. As long as I exist, you're still my target. Now less talking and more fighting!" yelled Skulker as he got out his rockets and started firing at the soldiers.
They all flew around and started fighting back against the soldiers as they all began working together. Before they knew it, the soldiers were actually getting pushed back. Danny then looked around to see that they finally had a chance with the help of the other ghosts.
"I think this is the chance that we were waiting for! DESIREE, EMBER, KITTY, DORA, DAEDRA!" yelled Danny. Just then the girls all turned to Danny as he took to the air.
"Guys, I think this is opportunity we've been waiting for! While they handle these soldiers, we're gonna head into the castle and get back Perona!" said Danny.
"Got it!" said the girls.
They then started flying straight towards the castle while they were dodging all the arrows and attacks. They were finally getting closer and closer but then more wyverns began flying towards them. Danny was going to attack but then a few missiles flew in and destroyed them.
"What the?" asked Danny as he turned over and saw Skulker. Skulker then flew ahead and blasted a large missile straight towards the castle gates and blew it up.
"Now go and defeat him! So that I will be free to hunt you another day!" said Skulker.
"The guy really knows how to motivate ya." Said Danny but then he looked over to the girls to death in their eyes as soon as they heard that. Danny then turned back to the gate and flew straight in.
"Okay, we're in. Seems like all the soldiers were outside so we don't have to worry about meeting any soldiers in here. But I wouldn't be surprised if we meet any of those commanders here. Everyone, we need to split up to find Perona and Shanoa. But because we might meet Pariah, I'm gonna need you guys to go in pairs." Said Danny.
"(Now is our chance!)" thought Ember and Desiree. Just as they two were about to say something.
"Desiree, you can go with Ember. Dora, you can go with Kitty and I'll go with Daedra. Any questions?" asked Danny. Ember and Desiree then stayed silent and looked down.
"Alright then, Daedra, you and I are gonna go this way." Said Danny as he took the middle path and went ahead with Daedra.
"Guess me and Dora will take the left." Said Kitty as she left with Dora.
"For once, we will set aside our difference." Said Desiree.
"Fine, let's go." Said Ember.
The two then finally took the right path and went on ahead to try and find Perona. Kitty and Dora then carried on flying until they reached a library. They stopped moving and landed on the ground as they started looking around. They carried on walking but there was nothing to be seen but an endless sea of books and shelves. Even though there was nothing in sight, they still had their guard up since they knew an enemy was near.
"Dora, anything?" asked Kitty.
"Nothing, I can't seem to find anything or anyone here." Said Dora as she carried on looking around.
"You're right, there is no one here but…..there is something." Said Kitty as she quickly turned to a certain shelf and walked ahead to it.
"What is it?" asked Dora. Kitty kept her eyes closed and started moving her hand around the books until she finally reached a certain book with a skull head mark. She then pulled the book which gave a click noise. Just then the shelf started moving by itself and opened a new path.
"Amazing, how did you know?" asked Dora.
"I was curious." Said Kitty.
The two then started walking down the stairs but they knew something was coming. As they were walking down, they knew an enemy was up ahead since they could feel a large energy source from up ahead but he wasn't alone. Two other souls were with him. Immediately as they reached down, they saw that they were in a catacomb. Looking around, there was nothing but a huge line of skull heads stuck to wall with cages of rotten beasts and ectoplasm.
"Unbelievable. This is truly horrifying." Said Dora as she looked around.
"I think I'm gonna be sick. But I can't, since someone just happens to be up ahead!" said Kitty. They then flew ahead and finally looked over to see a figure in a hood with blades on their foot and blades on their arms. Wearing a navy shirt with chainmail armour while having dark pants with a wolf shin guards. They then looked over to see that Perona was trapped inside a cell.
"Who are you?!" questioned Dora.
"Introductions…..I'm not one for formalities but since this is the last time you will be able to talk, why not? I'm one of the four commanders of Pariah's Army. I am Vulture the assassin. Also don't bother introducing yourself, I don't care." Said Vulture as he quickly took out 3 blades and threw them Kitty and Dora but then Dora brought out her dragon arm and blocked it. Her skin being made of dragon scales; it didn't even hurt her.
"A dragon huh? Looks like this will be enjoyable." Said Vulture.
"That must be Perona. Come on Dora, we need beat this guy and save her!" said Kitty as she got into a battle stance.
"Agreed, let us show him the power of our team work." Said Dora as she too got into a battle stance.
Vulture then took the first attack and took out two daggers from his shirt and started swinging them around both Kitty and Dora. Kitty then tried to sweep him from below while Dora tried to attack him from the top. Vulture quickly put up his guard taking both of the attacks but as he was being pushed back, he quickly threw two knives at Kitty and Dora. They saw the upcoming projectile and quickly started back flipping to dodge the attack.
"You two are good at this but it's a shame you're on the wrong side." Said Vulture.
"We could say the same to you but we're not here for small chats. We're here to accomplish a mission and we have no time to fail." Said Kitty.
Kitty then charged in and started swinging her new claws at Vulture while he was dodging the attacks. Dora then transformed her hear for a quick second and started blasting fire towards Vulture. Kitty saw the attack coming and quickly landed a punch on Vulture's face and jumped out of the way. While Vulture was distracted by the punch, he got hit directly by the fire attack and sent flying back to the wall.
Perona then looked up to that Kitty and Dora were actually pushing back a commander of Pariah's army. She was amazed at the power that they were displaying.
Vulture then stood back up as he recovered from the fire attack and turned to the two girls. He then started laughing as he brushed off all dust on his shirt.
"What's so funny?" asked Dora.
"Forgive me, I'm just impressed to find someone strong enough to be my opponents after all this time. Now I can gladly go all out." Said Vulture as he started morphing his tiny daggers into bigger blades. He then started getting ready as he started attacking with this twin blades.
Kitty then started backing off and dodging all of his attacks but this time, they were getting faster and faster. She was almost pushed back to a wall until she quickly tried to jump over but Vulture was already prepared and got ready to attack. Dora then came in and began attacking Vulture to help Kitty. Vulture then morphed his twin blades into giant mace and swung it at both Kitty and Dora.
Both of them took the hit directly and crashed into a wall.
"Dora, are you okay?" asked Kitty.
"I'm fine. But he's really starting to get serious." Said Dora.
"Well, maybe we should try disarming him first. It looks like he's nothing without his weapon." Said Kitty.
"Not a bad idea, let's try it." Said Dora.
The two then charged Vulture with a quick speed and started sending in kicks and punches towards him but Vulture was dodging them with ease. Kitty quickly brought out her claws and went into her primal mode and started swinging her claws to get a good hit. Dora also morphed her hands into dragon claws and started attacking him.
Vulture quickly morphed his giant mace into twin shields and blocked both of their attacks. He then used his strength and pushed them back. The two shields then morphed into twin blade yoyos. He quickly started swinging his yoyos at Kitty and Dora but they were dodging with the best of their abilities.
He then pulled in both of his yoyos and morphed them into blades again. But this time, he started using his magic to create multiple blades. The blades then started spinning around vulture and created a tornado. He then started throwing his blades towards the two.
"KITTY WATCH OUT!" cried Dora.
Kitty then looked over to see the blades flying towards her. She then dodged to her left and started running towards Vulture but she looked back to see that the blades were following her. She tried to dodge but it was too late since Vulture got close and grabbed her by the neck. He then slammed her on the wall and jumped back as the blades were flying towards Kitty. The blades then pierced Kitty's arms and hung her on the wall.
"KITTY!" cried Dora as she looked over to see her friend hurt. Dora then started raging as she morphed herself into part dragon and charged at Vulture to attack again but then Vulture turned his blades into chains. Dora then started punching Vulture but Vulture just dodged them and got closer to Dora. He quickly wrapped the chains around Dora's neck and took to the air.
Dora grabbed the chain around her neck as she was being pulled and tried to break through but then Vulture flew down towards the ground and slammed her.
Perona gasped as she saw both Dora and Kitty defeated. Kitty was stuck on the wall with blades cutting through her hand and Dora had a chain stuck around her neck as she was collapsed on the ground.
"You two were entertaining but against a commander, you cannot win." Said Vulture as he took his chain and started walking off.
"Well then princess, now that you have been found. It is better if we move to another location." Said Vulture as he started walking towards Perona who was covering her mouth in horror.
As Vulture was walking, he felt a change in the wind and quickly turned back but it was too late. He turned over to see a fist approach his way and land on his face. Dora had already recovered and sent a strong punch directly to his face, sending him crashing to the wall.
"We will not be so easily defeated." Said Dora. Vulture then got up from the wall and looked over to Dora with anger. He quickly drew out his blades and charged for Dora again but then a kick came in from the sides and slammed his face on the ground.
"That was slamming me on the ground and hitting me with the blades." Said Kitty. Her hands were still bleeding.
"I will admit, it is impressive that you two are still standing but I will not be defeated!" said Vulture.
"Dora, we need to end it now!" said Kitty.
"I agree, we have to hurry this up." Said Dora.
Kitty then closer her eyes as she started concentrating the energy inside her. Three souls then began flying around Kitty and combined with her hands and head. In her left, was a white wolf and in her right was a black wold. From her body, a brown wolf spirit was floating behind her.
"Beast Spirit! Cerberus!" said Kitty. This technique was one of her new abilities, this allowed her to harness the power of the Cerberus and use them as their own. Each head gives her a new ability. White (Ice), Black (Fire) and Brown (Strength) but the strength of their attacks would depend on how damaged she was. So it was only effective when she sustained a large amount of damage.
Dora was then transforming into a dragon, destroying both the catacombs and the roof due to her size.
"Let's do this." Said Kitty as she rushed over to Vulture with her three Wolf spirits. Vulture then sent in all of his blades at Kitty but Kitty carried on flying towards them. Her new powers were strong enough to destroy all of the blades with one punch. She then started charging in all fours as she was being covered in the power of the beasts.
Vulture could only look over to see Kitty's spirits turn into a giant wolf. He was trembling as he saw the giant Cerberus was charging towards him. Kitty then punched him directly in the gut and sent him flying towards Dora. Dora then quickly grabbed Vulture and took to the air, all the way outside of the castle. Skulker then looked over to see Dora in her dragon form but then she started spinning in a 360 continuously. She carried on spinning until she started flying back down and threw him to the ground.
They then looked over to see that Vulture was finally knocked out. Kitty and Dora then fall on their knees as they had to use up a lot of energy to use their new techniques but it was worth it as they finally got Perona.
"We…..did it." Said Kitty as she fell on her back.
"Yeah we did. Come on, we need to get Perona." Said Dora as she started walking towards the cell where Perona was. Perona was amazed at what she saw, the power that those two displayed were on a whole new level.
"WATCH OUT!" cried Perona. Dora then turned around to see a blade flying towards her and hitting her shoulder.
"Dora!" cried Kitty as he looked over to Vulture had stood back up again. Dora then fell to the ground as an intense pain was stopping her arm from moving.
"D…..did you really think…I would stop after that?" asked Vulture. He armour was broken and his blades were all snapped. He still had his tiny blade available and since both of the girls were no longer able to fight, he knew he could finish them off.
"Now to end this!" cried Vulture as he got ready to attack Kitty who wasn't able to move.
"N-no." said Kitty as the blade almost reached her. But then an energy blast hit Vulture directly on the back, causing him to fall on his back. Dora and Kitty then look over to see what happened and saw that Shanoa attacked Vulture.
"Y-you?! What are you doing?!" questioned Vulture as he looked over Shanoa.
"Something I should've done a long time ago." Said Shanoa as she went over to Perona and freed her from her cage. She then went over to Kitty and Dora and healed their wounds.
"You will pay for this betrayal." Said Vulture before passing out.
"Thank you for helping us." Said Kitty.
"It is quite alright but I think we should move while we can. After all, there is still more that is needed to be done." Said Shanoa.
"You're right, I should let Danny and Ember know at least." Said Kitty. Kitty then closer her eyes as she was telepathically calling over Ember.
"(Ember, great news! We took care of a commander called Vulture and saved Perona. We're gonna take Shanoa and Perona out of here. How are you guys doing on your side?)" asked Kitty.
"Good job on saving Perona but our hands are kind of full right now." Said Ember
"(Why, what's wrong?)" asked Kitty.
"(We have our commander to take care of!)" said Ember as she dodged a giant energy blast.
With Ember and Desiree, Lab
Both of them were covered in cuts and bruises as they were taking care of the other commander by the name of Skull. Skull was the brute force of the four commanders and his strength made him one the greatest leaders. He was wearing a full Spartan Amour while holding a spear and shield.
"Give up! You two can never defeat me!" yelled Skull.
"You haven't beaten us yet old man! So don't get ahead of yourself!" cried Ember as she strummed her guitar and sent into two musical fists. Skull then simply slashed the musical fists with ease.
"Trust me, I know an easy victory when I see it. I have fought for many years, even before you died!" said Skull.
"Come on Ember, let's finish this! We'll take him down together!" said Desiree.
"Right, let's do this!" said Ember.
"Funny, because I do not want to kill you so quickly. I will not use any weapons." Said Skull as he dropped his sword and shield.
"(This guy is mocking us!)" thought Desiree.
Desiree and Ember then charged Skull together in perfect synchronization and started attacking him together. Both of them were sending in punches and kicks to hit him but Skull was moving left to right as he was dodging of all their attacks. Ember and Desiree then quickly got behind him and tried to attack but then Skull simply ducked and pushed his feet directly to their faces.
Ember and Desiree then crash into the wall after getting hit directly on the face. The two then bounced off the wall and charged at him again but as the two were getting closer, Skull charged up his hands and fired a two large energy blasts at them. Ember and Desiree then quickly jumped out of the way to dodge the blasts but the power of the attack was so strong, it sent them flying back.
"I can't believe it! This old guy has this much power?" asked Ember as she looked back. The blast was strong enough to break through the entire room.
"Come now, you two could surely do better than that." Mocked Skull.
"Alright Ember, you got some kind of hidden ability I should be aware of cos we could really use it right now!" said Desiree.
"I do but I was hoping to save it for last." Said Ember.
"This will be our last unless you use that technique." Said Desiree.
"Well then, let's get to it." Said Ember.
"Agreed!" said Desiree.
Just then, the two started charging their bodies with their own energy. Ember's body started changing from blue fire to red fire and her guitar turned into a dark colour instead. Desiree also started changing as her hair turned red and so did her eyes.
"Not bad, you tapped into your hidden potential." Complimented Ember.
"I could say the same about you but I'll admit, you have a bit of an edge over me because of that Dragon necklace incident." Reminded Desiree.
"Well looking at the two of you, I can see that I will have an enjoyable fight." Said Skull as he got ready to fight again.
"So, should we start?" asked Ember.
"Why not?" replied Desiree.
The two then fired off two energy blasts at Skull but then he used his ecto shield and defended himself. Desiree then flew in close and tried to punch him but Skull quickly grabbed her hand and stopped her. Skull was about to attack again but then Ember came in and punched him in the back, sending flying towards a wall.
"Not bad, but it is not enough!" yelled Skull as he fired a large energy blast at the two. Ember and Desiree look at each other and nod as they go back to back and fired a large red blast of their own. The two blast then begin colliding with each other but Ember and Desiree had the advantage with the combined power of their energy. The blast then sent Skull flying away and disintegrated some of his Spartan armour.
Skull took the air and charged for Desiree. Desiree saw him coming and quickly fired an energy ball to distract him. As Skull quickly deflected the energy ball, Desiree took her chance to deliver a punch to his face. Ember then flew in close and kicked him on the face causing him to slam to the ground.
"Ready?" asked Ember
"Do you even need to ask?" replied Desiree as both of them flew to the air and combined their energy blast. They flew down while spinning next to each other, infusing their powers to creating a spiralling red tornado. Charging down at hyper speed, they crashed down and caused the entire castle to shake.
Skull became too tired to fight and collapsed on the ground. Ember and Desiree also finally returned to their original state. The two were breathing hard with all of the energy that they had to use.
"Not bad….for an old hag." Said Ember.
"Whatever slut, I'm just glad it's over for now." Said Desiree.
"Well, I guess that's two commanders defeated. Kitty said that they defeated some guy called Vulture and with Skull defeated, that leaves only commander left." Said Ember.
"Hehe….." laughed Skull. Ember and Desiree then look over to see that Skull was still awake.
"You're still awake? Gotta admit, for an old timer, you're not so bad." Said Desiree.
"Your friend is doomed. His luck has betrayed if he is to fight off against Fright Knight, the boy will not stand a chance. Hahah!" laughed Skull. Ember and Desiree then look at each other and smiled.
"That's where your wrong bonehead." Said Ember.
"That's right, his luck didn't betray him. Danny knew the path to Fright Knight so he intentionally took that path with Daedra. He wanted to take him on." Said Desiree.
With Danny and Daedra, Clocktower
"And so we finally meet." Said Fright Knight as he looked over to Danny and Daedra. Danny was ready to fight back but Daedra was getting worried that she would have to fight her own father.
"I must commend you for coming this far and challenging the king but this is where it ends." Said Fright Knight as he drew his blade and pointed it at Danny and Daedra.
"Fright Knight, I need to let you know as well. My fight is with Pariah, not you. I'd rather avoid this fight with you." Said Danny.
"Well I cannot allow that! As a knight, it is my duty to protect my king even if it costs me my life!" said Fright Knight.
"(Father…)" thought Daedra.
"Why can't you understand that you're being manipulated? You're doing this because he is controlling you not because you want to!" said Danny.
"Enough! I will not hear any more of your words!" said the Fright Knight as he charged at Danny with his blade. Danny then quickly jumped out of the way and dodged the attack but the Fright Knight kept on pursuing him. He carried on swinging his blade until Daedra finally stepped in and blocked his attack.
"A foolish choice Daedra, you sided with the enemy!" said the Fright Knight. Daedra was then surprised by his words and got weaker. He then started swinging his sword at her only for her to just carry on blocking. She carried on blocking all of his attacks because she didn't want to hurt her father. Danny saw that Daedra wasn't ready to fight her father so he stepped in and kicked him out of the way.
"Daedra, I know you don't want to do this but we don't have a choice." Said Danny. Daedra was then starting to feel weak on her legs as she knew the only way to reach out to her father was by fighting back.
"I know but…I can't." said Daedra.
"It's fine." Said Danny.
Danny then turned over to the Fright Knight again and summoned his own ghost blade. He then started charging at the Fright Knight and started clashing blades with him. Danny then jumped into the air and swung his blade at the Fright Knight pushing him back and sending a large shockwave around them. After the attack, Fright Knight decided to retaliate by thrusting his blade at Danny but Danny quickly dodged while he could.
The force of the thrust was still strong enough to create a hole on the wall behind them but Danny decided to attack back but sending a slash at the Fright Knight. The Fright Knight also dodged by the Danny's attack creating a large slash across the wall.
"Unbelievable…such swordplay." Said Daedra in amazement.
"Not bad, your swordsmanship is excellent." Said the Fright Knight.
"Thanks, you're not bad yourself." Said Danny.
Fright Knight then quickly started swinging his blade at Danny with all of his strength while Danny kept on blocking but with the strength of his attack, he knew soon enough that his blade was going to break if he didn't do something soon.
Danny then quickly pulled his blade back and decided to swing his blade upwards, sending a slash towards the Fright Knight. Fright Knight quickly blocked the slash with his blade but it still sent him back.
Danny then took the chance and collided his blade again and pushed him back towards the wall. Fright Knight then pushed him back and got into a fighting position again.
"Sword technique!" said both Danny and Fright Knight as they got their blades ready. Daedra then looked up to the to see them both take a stance.
"AIR HAWK!" cried Danny and the Fright Knight as both of them sent a large bird shaped slash towards each other. Their attacks caused the entire building itself to start crumbling down but the Fright Knight then took the chance and disarmed Danny. He then got ready to stab him and pushed him down to the ground.
"FATHER! STOP!" cried Daedra as she saw Fright Knight almost kill Danny. As soon as he heard those words, Fright Knight then stopped as his blade was about to reach Danny. He then turned over to the teary Daedra and started having flash backs.
Danny then saw that Fright Knight was distracted and quickly charged up his fists with lightning. He then punched Fright Knight in the gut and sent him flying towards the roof. Immediately afterwards, he flew up to him and started sending a shockwave through his body.
"AAAHGHHHH" cried the Fright Knight in pain.
"TRY TO REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE! YOUR PAST, YOUR NAME, YOUR FAMILY!" cried Danny as he carried on sending a shock through his body.
The Fright's knights helmet then fell off as it revealed his face and white hair. Through his eyes, he was able to remember everything once again. The memory of his love, his books, his mother, his kingdom and especially his family.
After Danny was done attacking, they both fell to the ground but Danny grabbed him and started running out to the exit as the room finally collapsed.
"Father!" cried Daedra as she ran over to her Danny and Fright Knight.
Fright Knight then started opening his eyes as he was finally free from the chains that held him back.
"Father!" cried Daedra as she began shedding tears on him.
"Daedra…..my daughter." Said Fright Knight as placed his hand on her face. "Forgive me….for everything I did. I dared to attack my own daughter and forget her."
"No Fear, it wasn't you! You were being controlled the entire time but even then, you stood by her and took care of her until the end." Said Danny.
"Young warrior….thank you for saving me from this torment. Forgetting about my past and my identity was difficult but nothing could compare to the pain of forgetting my own daughter." Said Fear. Daedra then smiled as she grabbed Fear's hand.
Just then, from the entrance. Perona, Shanoa, Kitty, Dora, Ember and Desiree finally made it all the way to the top and met Danny.
"Danny!" cried the girls as they ran over to Danny.
"Brother! Are you okay?" asked Shanoa as she went over to her weakened brother.
"Shanoa…..it has been some time. Forgive me, I couldn't save her." Said Fear.
"Brother please, do not blame yourself. My sister did what was best for us. But now we are together as a family." Said Shanoa.
"I'm sorry. You have been taking care of Perona this entire time." Said Fear.
"I only did what family would do for each other. But now that we are together, we can finally have the family that we were missing." Said Shanoa.
"Perona, I'm so sorry for everything you had to go through. Shanoa did her best to take care of you but I was never there for you. Forgive me." Said Fear.
"Please, do not worry. I know what truly happened. There is no need to ask for forgiveness." Said Perona.
"But I promise you now, I will stay by you." Said Fear.
All the girls then had a tear in their eye from watching a happy family reunion but it was cut short as a black force sent them all flying back and crashing into a wall.
"What a touching reunion." Said Pariah as he appeared into the scene and summoned blue chains around Fear. He then started wrapping the chains around Fear and turned him into his personal puppet.
"Pariah!" yelled Danny as he clenched his fist.
"So it seems that there are two other children that I have yet to dispose of. But I must admit, I thought having you under my control would prevent the prophecy of my death but I now see that there is no other option than your death!" said Pariah as he made Fear pick up his blade.
"Father! Stop this!" said Fear as he was trying to resist the control but he was too weak. He then started swinging his blade around and carried on attacking everyone but they all did their best to dodge.
"Shanoa, I must admit I was surprised to find out that you were the sister of my beloved wife Grata. I thought I killed all the members of the Dragon Blood but it seems you were able to deceive me this entire time." Said Pariah.
"My sister was never your wife! She never loved you! She was trapped in torment and pain all because of how you treated her like a prisoner. I stayed in this wretched castle because I wanted to take care of sister and Perona." Said Shanoa.
"I see, but not like that matter in the end. After all, she ended up passing away so it seems like you failed." Said Pariah.
"Only because she did her best to escape from your clutches! I let her escape with Perona but her pain finally caught up to her and took her life away. All because of you!" cried Shanoa.
"Her pain caught up to her? HAHAHAHAHA!" laughed Pariah.
"What's so funny?!" questioned Danny.
"The fact that after all these years, you still didn't know. I was the one who killed her!" said Pariah shocking everyone in the room. Daedra, Shanoa, Fear and Danny all went blank with confusion as they had no idea that it was Pariah the entire time.
"F-father…what?!" questioned Fear.
"That's right my son, I was the one who killed your beloved wife. When I found out she escaped, I began searching around for her but I didn't find her. That is until I noticed a spark in the forest, I flew down and saw Grata resting on a tree. Soon enough, I crushed her heart from the inside and let her die." Said Pariah.
Shanoa, Daedra and Fear then had tears streaming down their eyes after finally realising the truth about what happened. Perona however, was the only one who wasn't shedding any tears.
"What's wrong Perona? Are you not sad that I killed your mother?!" asked Pariah.
"…..I already knew." Said Perona suprising everyone again. Shanoa then looked over to Perona realising that she had to live with the pain of watching her mother get killed by her father.
"What?!" asked Pariah.
"I was there….inside mother's necklace." Said Perona
Past
Grata was running with all of her might while holding Perona but her injuries were making it difficult to get anywhere. She then finally collapsed and fell on her back. Just then a tiny Perona was beginning to wake up.
"Wha…..where am I? Who are you?" asked Perona.
"Forgive me, my child. I'm a friend. I'm here to take you away." Said Grata as she tried to stand up again but her legs were covered in cuts.
"You're hurt. Please let me heal you." Sad Perona as she walked over and used her power to heal her legs. The healing power was giving off a large bright light but it was able to heal her at the same time. Just then Grata noticed a power heading towards her and knew it was Pariah.
"Perona…I must ask you for a favour." Said Grata.
"What is it?" asked Perona.
"Please close your eyes and touch this necklace." Said Grata. Perona then agreed and closed her eyes as she placed her hands on the necklace. Just then, her body started turning into a spirit and she flew into the necklace.
However, as she was going into the necklace. She could hear some words before she flew in.
"I love you." Said Grata
Perona then looked around to see a strange room with no doors or walls. All she could see was a diamond shaped light, she went over to it and saw the location of where she was.
"Where am I?" asked Perona as she was beginning to feel scared. But then Pariah flew down in front of Grata.
"Father?" said Perona.
"Ah Grata…so nice to see you." Said Pariah as he grabbed her by the neck as lifted her.
"Ack." Grata was barely breathing. Pariah then threw Grata towards a tree and slammed her.
"Now then…where is she?" asked Pariah. But Grata didn't answer.
"I SAID WHERE IS SHE?!" questioned Pariah.
Perona however stayed quite as she knew that she didn't like her father. His cold dark nature made him even more dangerous and scary for her.
"You think….I will tell you..?" said Grata. Pariah then looked over to Grata who was standing up again.
"Ever since she was born….she was destined to face a life of torment. But she never gave up." Said Grata.
"This lady…..what is she…..?" asked Perona inside the necklace.
"Being in that dark castle with no one to look up to or anyone to call family, she would never truly be happy. As her mother…..there was nothing I could do for her. But even if it costs me my life, I will save her. Leave my daughter alone!" cried Grata.
Perona then began shedding tears as she finally realised why that person knew so much about her and why she cared so much for her. Because she was her mother.
"Have it your way." Said Pariah as he fired energy blasts directly towards Grata's heart. She then finally collapsed and fell back to the ground. Pariah then didn't even turn back, he just flew away and never looked back.
A few minutes later, Perona finally escaped the necklace and looked over to dying woman.
"Momma! MOMMA!" cried Perona as she was doing her best to heal her. Grata then wealy opened her eyes and smiled as she turned over to her daughter.
"P-Perona….you called me….momma. How long I have waited to hear that ….word?" said Grata as she coughed ecto plasm.
"MOMMA! NO!" cried Perona as she carried on trying to heal her mother but it was all in vain. Grata then finally placed her hand on Perona.
"Do not worry my child…take this." Said Grata as she took off her necklace and gave it to her.
"Momma please no…please don't leave me!" cried Perona as she shedding tears.
"As long as you have this…I will aways be with you. One day, you will find happiness…..remember Perona. I….love you." Said Grata as she finally smiled and passed away.
"MOMMY!" Yelled Perona as her hand finally dropped on the ground and went cold.
Present
"So you knew the entire time huh? Not like it matters, now that the two of you are here. I will simply end this and make it so that prophecy does not come true!" cried Pariah as he made Fear attack Daedra. Daedra then blocked the attack with her sword but she got pushed back towards the wall.
Danny then took the chance and started running towards Fear.
"You're next boy!" said Pariah as he made Fear attack Danny. Danny then dodged all the sword swings and quickly disarmed Fear and took his green sword.
"DANNY!" cried Daedra as she threw her white sword at Danny. Danny then caught the blade and now had dual blades. Immediately, he went in closer and got behind Fear and started cutting down the chains that was controlling him.
Pariah saw Danny and started sending more chains towards him but Danny used both of the swords to cut the chains that were going towards him with ease. As he finally got closer, he dropped both blades and charged his fist with lightning and punched Pariah directly in the gut. Sending Pariah flying back towards a wall.
Danny's hand then returned to normal. He then walked over to Fear but then two chains came flying in and grabbed both Daedra and Perona.
"DAEDRA! PERONA!" cried Danny.
"I just need these two! I will deal with you later!" cried Pariah as he flew towards the roof with both the girls.
"NO!" cried Danny as he got ready to fly but just before he flew off, Fear quickly grabbed his arm.
"Young warrior…after hearing the story of what my father did…..I can't ever forgive myself for what happened to Grata. With her gone…my daughters are all I have left. I beg of you…not as a knight, a warrior or a commander….but as a father. Please save my daughters." Said Fear before he let go of his hand and finally fainted.
Danny's rage was finally burning up inside him as he couldn't stand what Pariah did. To his own daughters, his wife or his own son. Danny couldn't take it anymore; his rage was unleashed.
"PARIAH!" cried Danny as his body was enveloped in a red aura and his body began transforming into his half dragon form. His scales and horns had returned but he wasn't in his dracomancer form.
