"Everyone got the plan?" Danny asked.

"Solomon, Sam and I will stay on the ground and try to defend everyone while Tucker and Frostbite distracts everyone in the castle so that you and Vlad can get to Pariah" I relayed silently adding a mental note to fly up to the castle to help once the ground was covered. I rummaged through the weapons they had brought over in a duffel bag. I took out two ecto pistols and a ghost bow and arrow set and handed them over to my brother. Hopefully all the video games he played and short archery class would pay off.

"Here" my adopted father said as he handed me a staff with a light blue crystal gem on the top.

"My staff?" I asked, swinging it around expertly.

"Got a few upgrades while you were gone. Concentrate your light beams into the gem and the attack will be increased exponentially. And before you ask, yes, you can still make your scythe" he told me. I grinned and practiced a few moves from memory. After Sam and Tucker were armed, we moved out and went to the streets. Sam, my brother and me attacked any ghost skeleton we could see and saved as many people we could but it was harder to get them to a safe area.

"Sam, got a ghost shield device on you?!" I shouted over to her while swiping my staff at a skeleton and blasting three in a row. She tossed the device over to me and blasted two skeletons in front of her and Solomon shot one sneaking up on her. I flew over to the group of people we had managed to save and activating the device. A translucent green dome covered them and I put my hand on it, confirming that it will prevent the skeletons from entering.

"Do not leave this dome no matter what, and don't touch the device, got it?" I told them sternly and received nods in acknowledgement. I flew off immediately and helped blast skeletons from the sky.

"Is everyone safe?" I asked once I landed. Sam and Solomon were surrounded by piles of bones and holding slightly smoking guns.

"We got about sixteen more people in the safe zone" Solomon reported.

"I think we got all of them" Sam continued. I nodded and looked at the sky to see if I could find the castle.

"Think the others could use our help?" I asked, knowing Sam would mostly likely agree. She did and we practically forced Solomon to come with us. I carried them on a shadow disk and flew to the flying castle. We landed right where Tucker and Frostbite were outside the castle. They were handling a group of skeletons and it seemed like they were about finished. As we landed we helped blast the last few and caused them to disintegrate into a pile of bones.

"Danny and Vlad?"

"Looking for Pariah"

"Then let's go!"

We ran in the castle and split up, Tucker and Frostbite stuck together one way and Sam and Solomon went another. I went by myself through the last corridor. I flew through as fast as I could to find Danny and Vlad. I found two familiar faces instead however.

"Skulker, Ember, what are you doing still here?" I asked as I landed in front of them.

"We were looking for Phoenix, they took him after Vlad escaped with you from the hall" Ember explained swinging her guitar to her back. I figured that he might be locked in his room or in the dungeons.

"You guys help on the ground or outside the castle. I'll look for Phoenix" I told them and flew off immediately. I practically blasted every door I could find but Phoenix wasn't in any of them. I saw the throne room along the way and I heard fighting from inside. I didn't go in to help though; I flew past it and towards the dungeons. I felt guilty for leaving them but I wanted to free Phoenix as well. They should be fine though; the others should have found them already right? They would be able to handle Pariah without me.

"Phoenix!" I shouted the moment I flew in the dungeon.

"Spirit!" he shouted back. He was sitting against a wall in one of the prisons but stood up and grabbed the bars when he saw me.

"I'm getting you out of there" I told him while grabbing the ring of keys I saw at the other end of the dungeon. I unlocked the cage and grabbed his hand tightly.

"Let's go" I said pulling him with me to the throne room. We flew quickly to the throne room and burst in in time to see Pariah throw Danny and Vlad off of him. Solomon, Sam and Tucker fired at him simultaneously and Pariah made a shield. Frostbite shot an ice beam from behind him, freezing the ghost king for a few seconds before he broke the ice. The ice shards flew everywhere and a large piece headed straight for me but my brother pushed me aside and it pierced him straight through his heart.

"Solomon!" I shouted flying over to him and putting a shield of light around us. The distraction allowed Pariah a temporary advantage and he blasted both Sam and Tucker launching them backwards and hitting a wall hard. Danny shouted their names and flew over to them while Frostbite and Vlad continued the fight. I didn't know where Phoenix went since I was too busy trying to save my brother.

"No, no, no, please no. Don't you dare die! You said you were going to make up for not being a good brother, this isn't how you do that!" I cried out putting my hands over his wound trying to stop the bleeding after I yanked the ice shard out of him. My white gloves were turning red but I didn't care.

"Sorry sis" he said before letting go of his last breathe. I frantically searched for any sign of a pulse but didn't find any. I looked over to Danny to see him searching for a pulse on both his friends with tears in his eyes. I hoped so desperately that he would become a ghost. I didn't care he never acted like the best of brothers, he was the last of my biological family and he couldn't leave me. I stopped hoping after seeing that nothing was going to happen and Vlad and Frostbite were in need of Danny and my help. I let the shield surrounding me and my brother disappear and went over to Danny.

"Are they?" I asked knowing that he knew I was asking if they were ghosts.

"Maybe, my ghost sense went off but they're not waking up" he said standing next to me. Sam's hair was beginning to develop streaks of green in it and Tucker's skin was turning a little metallic. They were both glowing slightly so I guess they were turning into ghosts.

"Solomon isn't so lucky" I remarked giving my now decease brother one last look before looking away.

"Let's get it over with" he said and I nodded the both of us turning to Pariah. We charged over and both fired blasts at him. I concentrated my light beams into the gem of my staff and fired it at Pariah while Danny shot an ice beam combining both attacks and causing an explosion that threw Pariah back slightly.

"Vlad get Sam and Tucker out of here… and take care of my brother…" I told the older halfa sadly. He looked over to the three, noticed two were glowing, nodded solemnly and left. Danny and Frostbite were combining ice attacks, Danny occasionally throwing ecto blasts or ecto blasts covered in ice and Pariah was trying to deflect it with a sword. I fired a shadow beam at his hand hoping that it would cause him to lose his grip on the sword but he did not falter and I switched to bringing the shadows to life. They formed into a pack of wolves like they did when we fought Dan and they bit and pounced on Pariah.

Pariah kept throwing them off of him and I allowed them to turn back into shadows before they hit the ground and reformed them. It was a ridiculous cycle combined with more attacks from Frostbite and Danny but Pariah refused to give up. Finally he just shouted out in anger and threw off all my shadow wolves. I turned them back into shadows but didn't reform them. Pariah seemed fed up and frustrated threw his sword. It headed for Danny and was about to hit him when my adopted father threw himself in front of the halfa and the sword pierced him close to his core.

He was unconscious afterwards and Pariah walked over to him and simply yanked his sword out while Danny and I watched. That was when I lost it. I saw red and turned my staff into a scythe and went straight for the ghost king.

"You will pay for what you have done!" I shouted in anger while swinging my scythe at him.
