Last Chapter of HH! Finally!
"We're going to be stuck in ghost form until the spell's broken?!" Abby shouted in dislike. Her mouth had dropped open. Looks like the little princess wasn't used to stuff like this yet.
Danny had put his hands over his ears to block out her deafening yelling. Realizing that she was done, he uncovered them. "Yes. Which is just more of a reason to defeat the Fright Knight. Now, come on. We can use Grandma and Grandpa Fenton's portal." He took off with Abby, but noticed that Shadow wasn't doing anything. "What are you waiting for?!"
The boy spun around. He looked confused. "What?! I can't hear you! I think Abby's screaming made me deaf!" He shouted, unaware of his voice level.
"Okay, Fright Knight's castle, dead ahead…no pun intended." The ghostly man reported, pointing to a creepy looking tower.
The three were gliding through the Ghost Zone. Shadow had, at last, regained his hearing abilities. If she had screamed any louder, he was sure that she would have obtained the ghostly wail.
"I'll hold off the Fright Knight, while you two get Amorpho." Ordered Danny as they approached the structure.
Abby opened her mouth to argue, but her Dad cut her off. "And that's final."
This ticked the girl off and resulted in her gritting her teeth at the "unfairness" of it all.
The three barged into the lair, prepared for battle, but nothing sprung out at them. The loosened their stance.
"Hey, where's…" Shadow began, but the three were then hit with a blow to the back. They fell flat on the floor, but immediately, flipped themselves around to identify their attacker.
"Just who we were looking for." Abby growled, leaping to her feet along with the others.
"Come for a fight, I see. How very foolish." The Fright Knight mocked.
Danny hit the ghost with a strong ghost ray, only managing to make the Fright Knight stumble backward slightly. In response, the knight raised his sword, ready to strike.
"Maybe you have forgotten my sword's main feature. Let me remind you." The Fright Knight said venomously, swinging the blade down.
Shadow ran to jump in front of his father, but couldn't beat the amazing speed and agility of the sword. He watched in horror as the blade sliced through his father, who had nearly dodged it, causing said half-ghost to vanish on contact.
"Where is he?!" Abby demanded. "What did you do to him?!"
"I sent him into a realm where he will be forced to live his worst fears. And soon, you will join him." The evil ghost replied, hoisting his weapon once more.
She screamed loudly before the blade sunk into her as well. After a moment, she disappeared.
"Just one remaining." The knight hissed, turning to Shadow.
The boy braced himself in a battle position. The Fight Knight charged at him determinedly. The sword swooshed through the air as it missed its victim. Another powerful strike was made, making contact with the intended being. Within seconds, Shadow disappeared as well.
"Now, nothing will stop the inevitable rule of the Fright Knight!" Screamed the ghost in triumph, raising his sword high.
"Guess again." A male teen's voice echoed as a hard kick was slammed down onto the Fright Knight's helmet-covered head. The Soul Shredder was knocked right out of his hand.
Shadow picked up the ghostly blade and held it firm, standing victoriously over the defenseless ghost.
"But…how is this possible?" The Fright Knight stuttered upon seeing Shadow.
"Duplication, duh." Shadow replied smartly. His blood red eyes searched the room quickly for a minute before finding what they were looking for. "A pumpkin!" The boy dashed over to the orange squash (yes, a pumpkin is a squash). He was almost there when a strong, cold hand pushed him to the floor. He stared straight into the face-or at least eyes- of the Fright Knight.
"Return to me my Soul Shredder." He demanded, towering over the teen.
"Never!" Shadow shouted, thrusting the sword through the knight's legs.
Nothing happened except for the ethereal cackle of the ghost of Halloween.
"Imprudent halfa! My own blade will not work against me!" He bellowed.
"No, but this will!" Shadow countered, shooting a ghost zapper at the ghost.
Ecto-energy began surging through the Fright Knight's being and his unsteady legs forced him to back away. Taking his window of opportunity, Shadow jumped to his feet and raced for the pumpkin he had spotted. He cast a quick glance over his shoulder. His enemy was recovering from the attack…and he looked furious. The teen faced forward again as he neared the pumpkin. Without hesitation, Shadow sliced the sword though it. A victorious expression washed over his face as a strong wind picked up and he spun around, beaming at his opponent.
"Game over." He said dramatically just as a great green beam erupted from the sword and everything began to be pulled toward it.
The Fright Knight desperately gripped the ground, struggling against the pull, but to no avail. Shadow held tightly onto a surrounding red curtain so that he would not be sucked in as well. The ghost boy watched triumphantly as the knight was dragged into the ghostly green tornado that had formed. In a matter of seconds, nothing was left but the sword, the pumpkin, and the castle.
"Wow, who knew that reading all of Mom's old Goth books would come in handy some day." He commented as he searched for any traces of the Fright Knight's power.
Suddenly, Danny, Abby, and Amorpho popped into view. They all looked like they had a serious headache. Danny was the first one to speak, although it was very dazedly.
"Where's the Fright Knight?" The oldest half-ghost questioned, searching the surrounding area.
Shadow simply pointed to the pumpkin with the sword in it.
"No, seriously." Abby commented, earning a glare from her counterpart. Her face immediately twisted into shock and disbelief. "Y-you beat him? All by yourself? With no help?"
This seemed to wake Danny up as well.
"You know, you seriously underestimate me." Shadow stated, crossing his arms, clearly offended.
Danny was about to comment when a groan distracted him. He glanced in the direction the noise originated from and saw Amorpho.
"Amorpho!" He exclaimed, running over to the exhausted ghost. "Are you okay?"
The shape shifting ghost nodded. "Just a little woozy is all."
"I'm sorry if it's too much to ask, but can you help us restore everyone back to normal?" Danny requested.
"Is the Fright Knight sealed away again?" The ghost inquired.
"Yep." Shadow responded for his father.
"Then everything should already have returned to normal."
"What?" Abby asked in confusion.
"He may have used my powers, but the energy came from his own sword. Therefore, if he and the sword are taken care of, everything should have returned to normal." Amorpho explained.
"Well, this simplifies things." Danny commented with relief tinting his voice.
"Yes, well I must thank you for freeing me from that awful realm." The ghost thanked.
"Actually, you should be thanking Shadow. I was stuck, too. He was the one who beat the Fright Knight." The ghost man corrected.
"Shadow? Where is he?" Amorpho inquired.
"Gone." Abby replied tiredly after taking a quick look around. "He vanished without us knowing again."
"You sound like you've heard of him." Danny stated.
"Yes. There are very few ghosts who do not know of Shadow. News of his appearance is spreading almost as fast as of yours." Amorpho responded.
"Really? Why? I mean, I was the second half-ghost in existence, but why has he suddenly caught so much attention." Danny wondered.
This question led Amorpho to believe that Danny did not know of Shadow's half-ghost status. Or the fact that Shadow was said to be Danny's own son.
"If you do not know, then I cannot tell you." Amorpho replied cryptically. "Now, I must leave. See you around."
The ghost flew off, leaving a very confused Danny and Abby behind.
"I wonder what he meant." Danny muttered to himself after the ghost was completely gone.
"So I was really a werewolf?" Matt asked in amazement the next morning.
"Yep." Jake replied, not finding the question quite as interesting the third time.
"And the whole town was turned into monsters?"
"Yep."
"And you beat the Fright Knight without your Dad or sister's help?"
"Yep."
"And you like Tori?" Matt snuck in.
"Ye-NO" Jake caught himself, causing his friend to burst out in laughter while the pale-skinned boy glared at him. "You better run." Jake warned.
Looking at his friend's irritated face, the African American boy decided to take off down the street, still chuckling. Jake ran after him a second later. Ah, boys.
You don't have to tell me that it was rushed or skippy because I know. So you guys saying it is just a confirmation.
