It was well known by now that Ghosts generally fear Angels, albeit Humanity is not the wiser why. Either way, this known fact made it weird when ghosts on mass asked Dante, Amity's Guardian Angel, for help. Apparently someone freed the old Ghost King from his eternal sleep. He was asleep for good reasons.
The Ghosts reasoning was that he – as a Guardian Angel – has to protect them and the humans. Walker pointed out that Pariah will be a danger to the humans as well. "I do it." Sera will have his butt if he doesn't. Even if an Exterminator is not exactly a protector. Then Pariah arrived, ripping the city into the Zone. 'Come on! Flying in here sucks!' It just feels uncomfortable. As if his wings are dipped into something disgusting.
Danny attacked the massive, ancient king, who flocked his attack with an arm. Pariah attacked as if his arm could just body angelic energy. He realized this was not the case when his arm burned like hellfire. Pariah grabbed his arm in pain and looked who had done it. "You aren't a ghost."
"Nope. I am an Angel!" he said proudly.
"An Angel? Are you a messenger? Announcing my divine right to rule?" asked Pariah.
"You really are as stupid as you look like." answered Danny, "I just burned your arm! No divine right for you!" Danny was sure that didn't exist to begin with. "No, I am here to defeat you!" He switched into his Exterminator form, full well knowing this may scare or disturb the ghosts and humans watching. "I am an Exterminator. Once a year we go to Hell and end the Sinners. Looks like you got lost on your way to Hell."
One flap with his wings and he attacked the king again, his sword – Lute decided he lost to many spears even though that only happened twice – ready in hand and waiting for ghostly blood. He still had two spears on hand, though.
Pariah attacked with his sword, only for Danny to dodge it in flight. That happens when you fly in tight urban spaces, you master the art of dodging. (Especially if Overlords decide to just throw things your way. Like, Vox literally threw a bath tub his way on his first Purge.)
Danny weaved a thread and bound it to one of his spears. He flew around Pariah. Due to his size, Pariah couldn't turn on the spot with ease, which made slapping the annoying fly called Dante very annoying. When Dante was in his dead angle, he threw the threaded spear to the crown, knocking it off.
He swept down and grabbed the crown, before melting it with heavenly fire. Pariah was furious seeing his regalia being destroyed, so he attacked Dante.
Danny found himself in the king's giant hands. He had a deja vu from Vlad's cubes. Then Pariah felt his hands getting burnt. "My wings are Anti-Ghost!" Some ghosts learned the painful way an angel – or Nephilim – can't be overshadowed. Danny smacked his sword onto the ring, cracking it and the blade. 'Lute will be pissed.'
Danny then attacked the throat of Pariah, stabbing him with his second spear. The angelic metal stuck deep, causing Pariah Dark's Ectoplasm to desolve, until the king was gone.
When he landed, he turned back into his more approachable angel form. Dante noted the ghosts kept their distance, while the Christian community felt validated and scared at the same time. They must have overheard the thing about Hell's Surge. 'Shit.'
