I managed to scratch the ghost king in a few places but he still managed to block my scythe from injuring him severely. I was concentrated on getting revenge for what he had done. First he kills my parents, then my brother and now my adopted father may die again. Pariah will pay for what he has done. I charged in for another attack when his eyes glowed brighter and I felt my memories change. I gasped and fell to the ground, dropping my staff and clutching my head painfully.
"Foolish girl, you won't win against me. I still control your memories and I control you" he said confidently. I did what my adopted father told me to do last time and focused on my memories and kept a hold on them but the mental struggle was painful.
"Why fight? I can allow you to forget all of this; you won't have to manage the pain of the death of your close ones. You will be happy, maybe not as my daughter in law but as a warrior" he offered while circling me like a vulture. I glared at him but still held onto my memories.
"You're sick" I told him through clenched teeth. I gasped in pain again and continued the mental struggle of keeping my memories.
"Fine, since you choose to resist then I shall put you out of you misery and end you" he declared pulling his sword out once again and aimed straight for my core.
"No!" I heard someone shout and saw Phoenix fly in front of me. He knocked his father over and the distraction caused grip on my memories to be released. I sighed in relief but then gasped at the battle between Phoenix and Pariah. Phoenix had made his own sword out of ecto energy and was engaged in a fierce battle with his father. He was losing though. I shot a shadow beam at Pariah to distract him. He got hit and was frustrated and wasted no time in shoving his sword straight through Phoenix's core. I watched in horror as the sword pierced through someone I cared about for a second time.
There was no chance for Phoenix though, the sword went right through his core, I saw him look at me sadly, mouthing an apology and confession before he dissolved into ectoplasm. I didn't know what happened next because the next thing I knew I was standing over Pariah as he dissolved into ectoplasm, my scythe pierced through his core. I pulled it out disgustedly and turned to Danny.
I had forgotten he was here throughout the whole struggle but it seemed he was busy caring to my father. I ran over and help him cover the wound the best we could with our abilities and we hoisted him over our shoulders and carried him out. Phoenix's sacrifice left me thinking and along the way I had checked my tattoo but did not see any sign of a Phoenix on it.
There was none but it was turning a slight blue.
…
Danny was hugging Sam and Tucker tightly in a group hug. Sam was now wearing a dress completely made of leaves and had green streaks in her hair and dark green eyes. Tucker looked pretty much the same only now a walking robot. I was standing off to the side of the room watching the childhood friends embrace each other while I awaited Vlad's results on my dad. The moment he came out of the room he was treating Frostbite in, I ran straight up to him, hope evident on my face.
"He was hit dangerously close to his core. Lost a lot of ectoplasm and the wound was deep. He will be okay after we get him back to the zone but he may not wake up" he reported. I didn't know if I should be upset or relieved, relieved that he would be okay or upset that he was now in a coma and may never wake up. Now I had to focus on other matters though.
"How are we going back home?" I asked while the trio joined us. The moment I finished my sentence a blue portal opened next to us and a team of yetis came in.
"The same way we came here" Danny commented after seeing the portal. I directed the yetis that came through to Frostbite and they carefully, but quickly, rushed him through the portal straight to the infirmary in the Far Frozen.
Vlad went in next, then the trio. I stayed behind to look around the house I grew up in one last time and left through the portal bringing only one thing with me.
That's the end; as usual I will be doing another QnA so please leave any questions in a review. Also I have set up a poll on my account for the fourth installment of this series. Please vote on it as it will help me decide how to write the fourth story.
