It starts in the early morning hours. Maria is having a really bad nightmare.

Maria was in Dakota City in her dream and she came across her sister Carmen.

Maria: Carmen? What are you doing out here?

Carmen: I could ask you the same thing, sis.

Maria: I couldn't sleep so I decided to go outside for a bit. And why are you wearing your Urban Ranger uniform?

Carmen: I just thought that I'd earn more badges from Captain Rolf by doing some late night patrol.

Maria: Well, you shouldn't be out here so late. You may never know what might be lurking about at this time of night!

Carmen (smiles mysteriously): I'm touched that you're looking out for me, Maria.

Maria: Well, of course I am! I'm your big sister, after all. (sees a holographic disguise band on Carmen's arm) Wait. Carmen, why are you wearing a holographic disguise band?

Carmen (grins evilly): Sorry, Maria!

Carmen removes the holographic disguise band and reveals herself as Puff.

Puff (smirks): But Carmen's not here right now!

Maria (shocked): Puff?!

Puff: Surprised to see me, Maria? Don't worry. Carmen's safe and sound back in my hideout.

Maria: Leave Carmen out of this, Puff! She did nothing to you! I was the one who betrayed you and the rest of the Meta Breed, not her! There's no reason for you to sink this low.

Puff (takes out Carmen's Urban Ranger hat): Oh, I can go lower. (dissolves Carmen's Urban Ranger hat with her corrosive breath)

Maria (glares at Puff): You think you're so funny, don't you? Well, I don't see Ebon or the rest of my former teammates anywhere. Maybe they're afraid of me.

Ebon then walked out of the shadows in his shadow form with Shiv by his side.

Ebon: You're the only one who should be afraid, Aquamaria! You never seem to learn your lesson. No one leaves this crew, especially you!

Maria: Nice lesson, "Boss". How do you expect me to learn that lesson, Facilier?

Shiv (confused): I thought his name was Ebon. (gets it) Oh, I get it! Facilier's called the Shadow Man! And Ebon's literally a shadow man! (laughs)

Ebon (smacks Shiv upside the head): Shut up, Shiv!

Maria (smirks): See, Shiv? I can be just as funny as you.

Ebon: You're not as tough as you think, traitor.

Shiv (his hands turn into light blades): The bad guys are making a comeback. I wouldn't want to be you right now, Maria.

Puff: I wouldn't want to be her at all.

Maria: What makes you think this'll be any different then all the other times that Static kicked your butts?

Ebon: He kicked your butt several times as well. After all, I let you join the Meta Breed because you hated how people were disgusted at your appearence.

Shiv: And how'd you repay us, huh?! You ditched us for Static, Knudson, and your so called sister, Carol!

Puff: C'mon, boys! Let's show our former teammate what happens to traitors like her.

Maria: Bring it on! (charges at the three of them)

Maria dashed and punched Ebon in the face and formed a ball of water over him and he was drowning. He drowned 30 seconds later. Then she went after Shiv and kicked him in the face.

Shiv: C'mon, Maria! You wouldn't hurt a friend, right?

Maria: "Friend"? Do you know how many times you've annoyed me whenever we work together?!

Shiv: Oh yeah. That's right.

Maria: Also, (punches Shiv in the jaw) that's for showing me that disgusting playboy magazine that one time!

Electro: Never send metahuman infants to do jobs of real villains!

Killer Croc: Time we settle this! Now!

Maria: Electro and Killer Croc.

Killer Croc: That's right. Now you're gonna die.

Maria: You first.

Maria punched Electro in the face and decided to do something interesting.

Maria: This time, I've got a perfect way to take you out.

Electro: And that would be?

Maria then kisses Electro while spreading water through him from her lips. The result was that Electro shorted out.

Maria: Good thing William didn't see that.

Killer Croc then tackles Maria into the Dakota Lake.

Killer Croc (Maria gets up): You're in my turf now, girlie! Let's see how you like getting beat up!

Maria (Croc punches her): I didn't want to have to do this, Croc. But you've left me no choice!

Maria turned into her water form and absorbed the water in the Dakota Lake to become giant.

Croc (eyes wide): Oh, (censored) me!

Maria destroyed Killer Croc by pulverizing him into pulp with her enormous size.

She got out of the water and turned back to normal.

Maria: Now it's just you and me Puff.

Puff: As it should be.

Maria spread her wings and flew at Puff. Puff blew a cloud of corrosive gas and Maria fired a blast of water that went at her. Puff dodged them and went into her cloud form. Maria fired a huge blast of water and it covered Puff and melted her.

Maria: And that's the end of that.

?: No, Maria Rockell. This is only the beginning.

Maria turned to see Pariah Dark. But since this is her first time meeting him, she didn't recognize him.

Maria (shocked): Who the heck are you?

Pariah Dark: It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that soon, I will return to exact my revenge. And then, the world will know the name Pariah Dark!

But just as the Ghost King attacked Maria, she woke up.

6:45 AM

She woke up and screamed. She was covered in sweat and panting in fear.

Natilee came in.

Natilee: Maria are you all right?

Maria: Natilee!

She hugged Natilee and was crying hard.

Natilee: Maria you had a really bad nightmare. It's all over. Lets go downstairs and you can tell us about it.

They did so. In the living room we gathered and Maria told us about her dream.

Maria: And then this red shadowy figure came out of nowhere and he said that he will return to get revenge. His name was Pariah Dark.

Danny, Sam, Tucker, Dani, Jazz, Sidney, and Star gasped in horror.

Danny: Pariah Dark the Ghost King!?

Maria: Yeah that's him.

Me: I've heard about him. I heard that he once pulled Amity Park into the Ghost Zone and tried to turn our dimension into the Ghost Zone.

Danny: That's right. I stopped him and everyone helped out.

Sidney: That's right. Pariah Dark is the most evil bully of them all.

Lori: Who is Pariah Dark?

Me: I'll show you.

I pull up his profile on the computer and he was a terrifying ghost. He was called the King of Ghosts.

Me: His name is Pariah Dark and he is called the King of Ghosts. The reason for this is because that eons ago before anyone in the Ghost Zone was around he ruled all of the Ghost Zone. Pariah Dark is a ghost of such incredible power and magnitude that only he can control the powerful energies within two powerful ghost artifacts: The Crown of Fire and the Ring of Rage. When he's wearing both, he can do anything. He's like a Ghost God. But a band of powerful and ancient ghosts banded together in a last ditch effort to defeat the king. They fired a powerful blast of energy and took him down. They removed his ring and crown and locked him in a powerful artifact called The Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep. These ghosts then used their power to separate his castle from the rest and in doing so they created the Ghost Zone as it is today.

Lincoln: He must be incredibly powerful.

Danny: He is. He gave me one heck of a run for my money and it was a deadly fight.

Sam: It was an incredible fight. But in the end Danny won and he saved us all.

Star: That was incredible.

Tucker: It sure was.

Sidney: Pariah Dark is a name that is terribly feared all throughout the Ghost Zone and he wants to rule over everything in it with an iron fist.

Dani: And he also wants to rule Earth too.

Me: That dream Maria had was not just a dream, it was a message.

Maria: What does it mean?

Me: It's a warning. It means that Pariah Dark is coming.

Everyone gasped in sheer horror.

Dani: We have to be ready when he comes!

Me: And we will. A huge war is coming. And this will be a battle unlike any other. We're going into war against the forces of Hell. And when that happens, it'll be the Battle to End all Battles.

Lori: Then we have to be ready for anything.

Vince: We sure do. If Pariah Dark is as powerful as Danny claims then we are in serious trouble.

Aqua: And we have to be ready for him when the time comes.

Melody: This is not gonna be good.

Me: No it's not. If its a battle Pariah Dark wants, then we will give him a war like no other. Get ready Pariah Dark, when we fight, you will perish.

The stage has been set and the Battle That will Decide the Fate of The Earth will begin.
