invisablchild and Pokemaster22, thanks for adding this story to your alerts.

"I don't know," Vlad stated, his voice slightly shaky until he then continued to speak to the rather large ghost holding him captive. "But if you would consider becoming my ally-" He was cut off as a pink blast struck the older ghost down and away from the Fright Knight.

"Guess what Amity? The newest ghost hunter is here to take down all you stinky ghosts! I hope you are ready to die again!" Vlad looked proud as he dusted himself off.

"She is really good at this," he stated in an offhanded manner, Sam shooting him a disbelieving. She was suspicious of what the other ghost meant...Did he have something to do with Valerie's new powers? Unfortunately for her this wasn't the best time to figure that out so she just pointed out the obvious to the jerk that stood beside her.

"She believes we are ghosts that are on her kill list!" Valerie swooped down between the two half ghosts, dropping three little silver and pink balls that the pair could only guess were bombs.

"Point taken," Vlad stated as the bombs blew up, a cloud of smoke covering the spot they were standing in. Off in the distance several students were watching the fight below, several skeletons surrounding the smoke that had hidden Sam and Vlad from view.

"I hope you are all right," Danny muttered, his sister throwing him a rather uncertain glance. At that moment several parents arrived, the barrage of SUV's something that Danny was sure would have driven the Goth crazy, but at this point was something he was both glad and uneasy to see. Valerie's father was the first one to approach the group, Danny and Tucker looking behind them uneasily.

"Have you seen Valerie?" he queried.

"She is with Sam!" the pair stated in unison. Maddie rushed up at that point, pulling Danny into her arms without considering how embarrassed he would be with his mother's PDA. Crushing him in her arms she made sure he knew how worried she was while at the same time drawing the attentions of Dash and his jock crew. Pushing her away he tried not to glare at his mother.

"Mom, they need your help down there!" Another door opened to reveal Jeremy and Pamela Manson, the parents of Sam. They looked around the group of students and it was apparent that they were worried about their daughter's whereabouts. "Sam is with Valerie." A look of confusion came over all the parents before them.

"Who is Valerie?"

The person in question grabbed Sam by the collar of her shit, the black material stretching in her own black gloves.

"What is going on here, ghost?" She was looking at Sam, but the Goth could only imagine what was going on through this teen's mind. Vlad and Sam were the enemies but at the same time she could obviously see that they were being ganged up on by far more adversaries that the teen in the red suit would need to take down. Sam pointed out the charging ghosts, the Fright Knight leading the pack with his sword pointed at them. At this point the Goth wasn't sure if Valerie was a ghost hunter just born or if she had been one for as long as Danny had been a ghost...It was so confusing with all that was going on and what she had done to change Danny's role in saving the town.

If it was indeed her first fight then why was she not destroying Sam, but asking her questions instead.

"That is what is going on," the white haired female stated. It was just as the skeletons attacked that Vlad decided to play the good guy and separating into three he took down all the skeletons that were in the immediate area. It still left quite a few, but as he rejoined and turned to them Sam needed to make sure that Valerie didn't take Vlad down or herself for that matter. It was at that moment that the Fright Knight attacked, taking down Vlad. As the pair hit the ground Sam took a chance. "I know it is hard to believe, but he is not the problem, the guy that is on top of him trying to destroy him, is." She could see that Valerie was thinking it over, but with the visor over her eyes it was hard to tell if she believed the Goth or not.

"I don't trust you, ghost girl, but at this moment I can see that we have bigger problems then you are that thing with you." Sam glared at her, frustrated that she thought this was about trust, but thankful that she could at least see that the Phantom and Plasmius were not the ones out to destroy the town.

"I don't need your trust, V-" She stopped, knowing who her opponent was would only make the other female more suspicious toward her. "I just need your help to take down these ghosts! Are you in?" Valerie looked down at the other female holding her white glove out toward her and with a single moment of hesitation she took the Goth's hand. Knowing that they would be able to fight together, at least for the moment, Sam and Valerie flew over to where the Fright Knight now had Vlad by the throat, the other ghost looking even more white as his oxygen was being cut off.

With a single green blast Sam managed to knock the Knight off of Vlad while Valerie followed up with her gloves glowing pink. Punching the enemy a few times she took him back a few feet and as Vlad gained his senses back he finished off the Fright Knight with one more blast. At the Knight fell to the ground he let out a curse. He wasn't completely down, he was just caught off guard, but he knew that if he didn't do something soon that he would be down, buy Pariah's hand.

"Fools," he spat, standing up. "All I wanted was to seize the ring and return it. You have left me with no choice," he continued, his flaming sword in his hand growing brighter. "By the power invested in me, by my Lord and Liege," the sword flaring with green power as the Fright Knight plunged it into the green field of Casper High's football stadium. "I claim this town, now and forever, under the banner of King Pariah!" As the light from the sword burst through the ground and hit several of the approaching skeletons, they stopped as if frozen. A swirling beam of green headed up the skies, the eyes of all who could see it looking scared, confused, or just plain lost at the sight of the unknown power. The light finally hit a peak and began to crash down like a wave in the shape of a dome, a large dome that Sam could see was covering the whole town as it disappeared behind buildings, the feel of the ground shaking as it hit, locking them in.

The final mark was the face of Pariah, the Ghost King, becoming clear in the power of the Dome...
