Well, the cliffhanger is stopped here. This will be the final chapter. I really enjoyed writing this story. At first will be General POV, but will change later. Let's get started with the chapter.
Chapter 23: Epilogue
The ghost king kept looking around to find out who was the responsible of the blast, but the black dot had disappeared. He shrugged his shoulders and walked towards his sword. When he was about to grab it, it mysteriously started floating in the air. Pariah got angry and tried grabbing the weapon. Albert opened slowly his eyes and smiled.
"You are…very stupid" he said and coughed. Pariah fired a blast towards him, making him faint. Sam and Tucker were very weak to move, and so they just kept looking at the ghost king. He groaned.
"Who's doing this?" he yelled. Another blast appeared, hitting his face. The responsible of the attack then turned visible. Sam widened her eyes.
"W-Who are you?" Pariah asked.
"The one who will put you back into the sarcophagus" the ghost replied and looked at the sword.
"In your dreams!" the ghost king exclaimed and clenched his fists. A skeleton ghost flew silently behind the ghost and tried grabbing him, but he noticed it's presence and kicked the skeleton.
"If you want to battle, it has to be between us" the ghost said and played with Pariah's sword.
"Then let's get started" said Pariah Dark and started firing blasts. The ghost shielded himself with Pariah's sword, the weapon breaking down in small pieces.
"Wow…this sword of yours is resistant" the ghost joked.
"No! You broke my weapon!" exclaimed Pariah angrily.
"Me? Your ecto-blasts are very powerful" the ghost said sheepishly.
"Of course they are! I'm a king after all. I used to…" started presuming Pariah. The ghost sighed and ignored his words.
"Not another…" he whispered and concentrated energy on his hands, firing a light blue ecto-blast. The ghost king was so distracted talking that he didn't notice the beam attack until it was too late. Pariah became frozen. The ghost started laughing weakly.
"Yeah interesting story" he joked and flew around Pariah. His anger increased, melting down the ice. Then he fired a red ecto-blast. The ghost turned intangible and yawned.
"It's that all you have got?" the ghost taunted.
Sam looked around, and saw lost of skeletons grabbing other ghosts, and destroying part of some homes. A scream of pain made her turn around. She saw the ghost being grabbed by the neck.
"Stop mocking me!" Pariah exclaimed. The ghost struggled to get free, but with each move he did, he had more problems for breathing, and so he stopped. Sam made a spiky vine appear behind Pariah and grabbed him. He let go of the ghost and looked down. He smiled darkly and cut in 2 the plant by using a ecto-blast. The ghost panted heavily for a few minutes, and then stopped.
"Ok, I wanted to make this battle slower, but it seems I will have to stop now. Frostbite!" he called. Suddenly, a white monster appeared, and was holding a sarcophagus. It had 2 frozen horns, one smaller than other, a frozen arm and a tail with icy spikes. Sam and Tucker gulped at the same time.
"No! You are not trapping me inside there!" Pariah said and started firing lots of purple blasts towards the ghost. He avoided most of them, but when of them hit his face, he got angry.
"Ok, this will end it" he said and took a deep breath. When he opened his mouth, big sonic waves got out of it. Pariah covered his ears, and because the power was very strong, he was pulled back, crashing against the open sarcophagus. Frostbite had a hard time closing it as Pariah was struggling and his ears were hurting. The ghost then stopped and took out a key, locking the sarcophagus. The skeletons immediately disappeared.
"Whew…thanks Frostbite" said the ghost and smiled. The monster nodded and flew away. The ghost turned around and looked at the trio.
"Uh…are you ok?" he asked. Tucker and Sam nodded.
"Well, except for him" said Tucker while pointing at Albert. The ghost sighed in relief. Sam kept looking at him with widen eyes. Suddenly, tears started forming in her eyes.
"Hey, what's wrong Sam?" asked Tucker.
"…Nothing" she replied sadly. The ghost got closer to Sam.
"Hey…what's the matter?" he asked gently. She wiped some of her tears away.
"Just remembering what happened 6 months ago…" she replied and looked at the ground. The ghost just kept looking at Sam.
"You can tell me what's the matter" he said and smiled. She smiled weakly.
"…I…lost a very good friend of mine…" she answered and started crying a little harder. The ghost touched her shoulder.
"He…died because he…tried to protect me…" she kept explaining while sobbing.
"…He died…" the ghost repeated and started playing nervously with his fingers. After some minutes later, the ghost sighed.
"Sam…" he called. She turned and looked at him curiously. He then sighed once more.
"Uh…y-your friend…i-isn´t…dead" he replied nervously. Sam looked at him even more curious, Tucker also looking at the ghost.
"What do you mean?" they both asked.
"…Uh…" he started, even more nervous. "I…have to…tell you the truth" He sighed and looked at his hands. "I-I…am…D-Danny" Sam's eyes widened.
"WHAT?" she asked. The ghost sighed.
"I will show it to you" he said and closed his eyes. A white ring appeared in his waist, dividing in 2. They moved in opposite sides, transforming his black suit into a white t-shirt and blue jeans; his white hair into the black messy hair Sam and Tucker recognized; When he opened his eyes, they weren't the ectoplasmic green: they had transformed into a baby blue. Sam's eyes widened more.
"D-Danny…is that…you?" she asked. When he nodded, Sam hugged him tight.
"Oh Danny! I'm so glad you aren't dead!" she exclaimed happily.
"Well… I'm half human, half ghost" he said sheepishly.
"H-How?" asked Sam. Danny sighed.
"In fact I was going to be a ghost, but Skulker divided me in 2. My ghost half was sent into the Ghost Zone. When this evil ghost attacked the city, I found my other half and we fused together" he explained. Sam looked at him sadly.
"Why you didn't tell us anything?" she asked.
"Because…I wanted to protect you" he replied. Sam and Tucker smiled.
"Well…but how did you revive?" asked Tucker. Sam looked at Danny curiously. He sighed.
"Ok…this is the story…"
Danny's POV
Sam! No! I can't let him hit you I thought and flew in front of Sam and received the damage. Suddenly, all turned black, and my senses turned off for a long time. Suddenly, when I finally recovered my senses a little, I saw a bright light. I thought it was the end…and I had reached a better place. I blinked and noticed I was in a capsule. The capsule was in a white room
"What? How I arrived here?" I asked myself and looked around. I saw a white yeti walk towards me.
"Well…it seems you have woken up, Great One" it said. I looked at him, puzzled.
"Oh, I have to introduce myself. My name is Frostbite, and you are in a special capsule" he introduced himself.
"But how it is that I ended here? I was in the Ghost Zone a few time ago" I asked. Frostbite smiled.
"Well…I saw you protecting your friend, and being knocked out. She thought you were dead and started destroying the Ghost Zone. I turned invisible and flew towards you, then touched your chest. Indeed, your heart wasn't beating. I decided to help you, but an attack of hers sent me flying. When I woke up, I saw the ghosts flying back to Earth, and so I followed them. I saw them putting you in a hole, filling it with ground and crying for a long time. But I knew you weren't dead at all, as the beam only stopped your heart for a time; I had to save you. So I took you out without nobody noticing.
I used a special antidote so that your heart could keep beating. And by the way, you are still in the Ghost Zone, just in another part of it" he explained me.
"Thanks for rescuing me" I thanked him.
"No problem Great One"
"Uh…why do you call me like that?" I asked. He laughed weakly.
"Because you saved the Far Frozen from the plans of the ghosts to rule a city. They made us fuse with them" he explained. I nodded.
"Well…when I got close to you that time I noticed you were a werewolf and a vampire at the same time" he said. I sighed.
"Yeah, since I fused with my other half, I became that creature" I explained.
"Oh…well, I told you that because I have 2 friends: one is a vampire, and another a werewolf. They can teach you how to control your status.
"Really?" I asked happily.
"Yep" he said.
"Uh…when can I get out of this thing?" I asked while touching the glass.
"Oh…sorry" he apologized and walked towards a small computer, pushing a green button. The water inside the capsule was sucked, and the walls disappeared. He gently unhooked some cables that were attached to my chest. He then gave me my clothes.
"They have been washed" he said. I smiled and put them on. For some reason, I felt very good wearing them.
"Oh yes, I'm going to present you the ones who will be your new tutors" he said and walked outside the room, I followed him. The place was strange: all thing were made of pure ice.
"This place is called the Far Frozen. Everything here is frozen, as you have noticed". I nodded and suddenly had a cold sensation go through my body. But it wasn't the ghost sense as the sensation was stronger. It made me shiver.
"Ah sorry, if you want I can bring you a jacket" he offered. I shook my head.
"No thanks" I said and closed my eyes, concentrating the best I could. I felt the cold sensation going towards my hands. Then I slowly released the energy as an ectoblast. I immediately stopped shivering. Frostbite's eyes widened.
"Wow…so you can also fire ecto-blasts…awesome" he said happily.
"Well…that's because I'm half-ghost" I explained. Then he gave me a proud look.
"Well…I know a lot about ghost powers, as the yetis like me are one of the strongest ghosts in the Ghost Zone. I will also be a tutor of yours" he said with a big smile on his face. I nodded and smiled back. He opened a door, and my smile vanished when I saw the tutors. The vampire had very big fangs and gave me a look that told me "I want to bite you". The werewolf was playing with his claws. Frostbite cleared his throat.
"Ahem. As I told you some hours ago, you will have a new disciple. Here, I present to you the Great One.
"Oh Frostbite, please call me Danny" I said. Both the vampire and werewolf got closer to me. I started shivering.
"Oww…he's a cute thing" commented the werewolf and smiled.
"Yeah. I can't believe he is one like us" said the vampire. I looked at Frostbite.
"Thanks everyone for helping me. Just a small question. I know you have a reason for training me" I asked. The 3 looked at themselves nervously, until Frostbite started talking.
"Mm…well, when your friend was very angry and transformed into a plant monster, she destroyed Pariah's Dark sarcophagus. He will wake up and try to break free, and he is very strong. But now I have seen your potential, I know you can beat him"
"Pariah Dark was the ghost king that dominated this place until he was stopped" explained the werewolf.
"And he had the ultimate power because he had a very special crown and a ring. This objects are somewhere around the Ghost Zone, and I'm sure he will be searching those items. But it will take some time until he finds them" said the vampire. In that moment I felt like they all needed my help and accepted their training.
The vampire's one was hard, as he was always showing me ectoplasm. My instincts were telling me to take it, but I had to resist. Well, he explained me that vampires will never stop liking blood, and will still need it.
The werewolf's one was also tricky, as I barely had enough conscience when I was in that form. However, as time passed I learnt to control myself perfectly. He even taught me to talk properly when I was in that form.
Frostbite's one was the easiest. He told me I had born with the ability to easily control my powers. In general, they all were very kind to me.
6 months passed and I had dominated my powers. I even learnt I had other powers while I was a creature. For example, I could fire a beam from my mouth.
Frostbite told me one day: "Well…the ghost king has found his items, and flew towards the Earth"
"What?" I exclaimed.
"Yes…here's the plan: you go and find him. Weaken it, and call me: I will bring his sarcophagus. And then, help me to trap him inside. Here do you have the key" he told me the plans and gave me a small key.
"Well…I guess this will be a goodbye…for now. I can't thank you enough for the training you gave me in this months. I surely won't forget you guys" I said and smiled.
"Never forget what we thought you" said the werewolf.
"Have a safe trip" the vampire said. I nodded and flew outside of the Far Frozen, finding a natural portal and going through it. I curiously ended up in Amity Park. I saw Pariah Dark raising his sword and about to hit you. I fired an ectoplasm and managed to save you.
And here I am.
Sam and Tucker looked at me happily.
"Sam couldn't stop crying and blaming herself" Tucker told me. Sam elbowed him.
"Yeah it's true. Everybody was very sad about your "loss". Even your brother seemed to be unhappy" she said and got closer to me. "But I was one of the most affected ones. You are my best friend Danny. If I ever lose you again…" she whispered. I looked at her eyes.
"Sam, I promise that won't happen again" I said and smiled. She smiled back. I looked up, and saw it was night. I remembered my training and prevented my transformation. Suddenly I hear a groan coming behind us. When I turned around I saw Albert sitting up. He held his head.
"Ugh…what hit me?" he asked and looked around. When he saw me, his eyes widened.
"Danny! We all thought you were dead!" he exclaimed happily and got up, flying towards me.
"Well, I'm here bro." I said happily. Suddenly I noticed lots of ghosts coming towards us. My parents were the ones who flew closer towards me.
"Danny! You didn't die! We are so happy to see you here" said mom. Dad started crying soft.
"Oh Danny…will you forgive me? Will you forgive this bad dad that ignored you these years?" he pleaded.
"And…can you forgive me for the jokes?" asked Albert. I couldn't stop smiling.
"Of course" I forgave them. Dad hugged me and wiped away his tears. I couldn't stop my transformation anymore, and so it started. When I finished, everybody looked at me, scared. I cleared my throat.
"Ok, I know how to control myself now, so you don't have to be scared" I said. They changed their looks and got surprised.
"Hey Danny! You will have to tell us about what happened in this 6 months" said dad excitedly. I smiled.
"Ok, I'm telling it again…" I said.
