Fright Knight's POV

"Do you guys think we can actually do this?" Jazz asked her friends as they entered the lab belonging to her parents. Tucker and Sam looked at each other. Sam stopped the Speeder and turned off the engine. She turned in her seat to face Jazz, "If I'm being honest.... I'm not sure."

Jazz sighed. "But that doesn't mean we can't lose hope. I'm sure everything will be fine," Tucker quickly added. Jazz smiled, "I sure hope so."

Sam opened the door of the Speeder, "Well, I'd better get going. My parents are going to go into full interrogation mode when I get home," she joked.

"I just hope I didn't miss dinner," Tucker commented. Jazz and Sam laughed as the three of them stepped out of the Speeder. I quietly exited the vehicle and followed them up the stairs.

"Night guys, see you tomorrow," Jazz said as her friends walked out the door. She locked the door and headed upstairs to her bedroom. I phased out of the house and flew around the perimeter, checking for any threats. There were none.

I phased back into the house and checked on the Prince's older sister. She was in the bathroom brushing her teeth. She wore checkered blue and black pants and a simple short sleeved blue shirt.

I ducked into her room, checking her window to make sure it was locked and that no other ghostly presence was in her room. I quickly rushed over to the Prince's room to do the same and found Jazz sitting on his bed holding a model rocket.

She turned it over in her hands looking at every detail. Jazz let out a little laugh, "Danny, I remember when you first saw a rocket. Your eyes lit up as you saw it take off into the sky on TV and from that day on you wanted to be an astronaut."

She placed the rocket on the nightstand, "Please be ok. I need my little brother back."

I floated in the doorway, speechless at what I just heard. Jasmine cared deeply about her brother, and it's because of my actions that she might lose him. I sighed in shame.

Jazz gasped, "Who's there!?" she demanded. My eyes widened, I must have sighed louder than I thought.

I dropped my invisibility, "It is just me Lady Jasmine."

She sighed in relief, "What are you doing here?" she asked as she stood up. I let my feet touch the ground and clasped my hands behind my back, "I am here to protect you."

Jazz raised an eyebrow, "Protect me? From what?" Her question took me aback. "I... um...."

"Fright Knight, it's not your fault Vizier got Danny," Jazz said. I let my hands fall to my sides. Jazz walked over to me, "There was no way you could've prevented it."

"My mission was to protect the Prince, to prevent harm from coming to him. I failed and now because of me I may be responsible for the Ghost Zone's destruction," I told her.

Jazz exited her brother's room, "We're not going to let that happen," she said as she walked to her own room, "We're going to beat Vizier and we're going to get Danny back."

As she reached her door she paused and looked back at me, "When Danny told me he was the Prince one of the first things he mentioned was you. How great an opponent you were, how you would try and leap to his defense even when he told you not to. Fright Knight you did not fail, you just need to not give up."

With that she entered her room and closed the door. I phased through the floor back down to the lab. What Jazz had told me had made me realize something. I was the Fright Knight, feared spirit, bearer of the Soul Shredder and protector of the Prince. And I was going to ensure Vizier did not destroy what I had worked to protect.

The Next Morning

Jazz's POV

I woke up at 7 a.m. sharp. It was 2 days until Vizier could crown Danny. I quickly got dressed, brushed my hair and ran downstairs. Sam and Tucker were already sitting on the couch.

"How long have you guys been here?" I asked surprised. "Only about 10 minutes, Fright Knight let us in," Sam responded. Fright Knight emerged from the kitchen.

"Clockwork has asked we meet him at Queen Dorathea's castle," the ghost knight said. The four of us rushed down to the lab and hopped into the Specter Speeder. Tucker activated the portal and Sam started up the Speeder. The doors of the portal made a whooshing noise as they opened revealing the radioactive green of the Ghost Zone.

Tucker climbed into the Speeder and shut the door. Sam drove straight towards the portal and we entered the realm known as the Ghost Zone.

A hour and a half later

We arrived at Dora's castle and Sam parked the Speeder. We rushed into the castle and to the throne room where Clockwork, Queen Dora, and Pandora were already waiting.

"Good we are almost ready to begin," Clockwork said as he shifted to his toddler form. We walked over to the others just as a portal opened and out stepped Frostbite. But he wasn't alone. A certain little halfa was sitting on his shoulder.

"Hey guys!" Danni said cheerfully.

"Danni? What are you doing here?" Sam asked obviously surprised like the rest of us at the girls visit.

"Yesterday when I went to see Frostbite for training I saw you guys leave. Frostbite told me about what was going on and I thought I could help," Danni explained.

"No offense Danni, but I highly doubt one more ghost will make a difference," Sam commented.

"That's the thing, I did some recruiting of my own," the young halfa said as she gestured to the still open portal.

From it came more ghosts. They were Johnny 13 and Kitty, Ghost Writer, Sidney Poindexter, Wulf, Cujo, and Ember.

But that wasn't all of them, next came the last ghosts any of us expected to see. Skulker, Walker and his lackey Bullet, Technus, Youngblood, Lunch Lady, Box Ghost, Spectra and Bertrand and Nocturne.

I took a few careful steps away from all of the ghosts and saw Sam and Tucker were having similar reactions. I bumped into Fright Knight and he looked down at me. I saw him slowly clasp his sword in his hand, but not draw it.

"Surprised to see us whelps?" Skulker said crossing his arms. "A little yeah," Sam replied obviously a little angry to see Danny's enemies.

"Please, the only conflict we are going to have is when we attack Vizier," Clockwork said, floating in between the two rival groups. "If you are here you have agreed to fight alongside us and listen to our orders. If anyone has a problem with that they may leave now," Clockwork said, dropping his monotone voice and using one of anger.

No one moved or made a sound.

Clockwork snapped his fingers and a huge 3D model of Phantom's Keep appeared in the middle of the room. Everyone crowded around it.

"Vizier will have barricaded himself and Danny in the throne room," Clockwork said as a window of the castle lit up. "The skeleton army will be guarding the castle and be Vizier's line of defense."

"We should use a direct approach using my forces to storm through the first line of skeleton warriors," Pandora suggested.

"Yes and I along with my people will back your forces," Frostbite offered.

"Excellent, once the front lines have been depleted, Queen Dorathea and her armies will take out the next line," Clockwork said shifting to his elderly form.

"I can use my men to assist them," Walker said. I was shocked at Walker's offer, as were Sam and Tucker.

"Perfect, then Lunch Lady, Technus, Sidney Poindexter, along with Frostbite and Pandora's armies when they finish off the first wave, will take out the third wave," Clockwork said.

"What about the rest of us?" Ember asked.

"The rest of you will be divided amongst the armies and the castle force," Dora responded.

"I can help with the third attack," Youngblood said. He was wearing his pirate clothes so he must have his crew with him somewhere.

"I the Box Ghost with my amazing powers over things cardboard and square will assist with the first attack!" Box Ghost cried in his annoying voice. I saw Skulker reach for a blaster when Walker nudged him. Skulker moved his hand away from the blaster but I was going to continue to keep an eye on him.

"I suppose Bertrand and I could help with the second wave," Spectra mused.

"Good," Clockwork said shifting to his young adult form. He gestured to the remaining ghosts. They were Ember, Johnny and Kitty, Ghost Writer, Danni, Skulker, Wulf, Cujo, and Nocturne, "The rest of you, will be part of the direct attack force. You will storm the castle and take down Vizier."

"Does everyone understand?" Pandora questioned loudly. Murmurs of yes and other words of agreement sounded through the room.

"Excellent, we attack tomorrow at the highest hour. Be prepared. Tomorrow will be the greatest battle any of you have ever been in since the final war with Pariah Dark. Until then," Clockwork said as he conjured up portals and the ghosts flew through them.

Only Fright Knight, Sam, Tucker and I, along with Clockwork, Dora, Frostbite and Pandora remained. I noticed Danni still was at the castle as well. I walked over to my little cousin.

"How did you manage to get Danny's enemies to help?" I asked her.

She smiled, "I gave them two choices. Either be stubborn about helping Danny or be destroyed by a second Pariah Dark."

I smiled at her creativity, "Nicely done."

Clockwork had finished speaking with the other ghosts and now headed over to where Sam, Tucker and Fright Knight stood. I walked over to join them and so did Danni.

Once I rejoined the group Clockwork began to speak, "I can't ask you to risk your lives in this battle. You have done so much to this point and-"

"Wait, you're not cutting us out of the fight are you?!" Sam questioned angrily. Clockwork shook his head, "No I am not 'cutting you out of the fight' as you said. I am merely stating that if you wish to not participate that will be understandable."

"No way dude, we're in this 'till the end," Tucker said, crossing his arms. Clockwork adjusted the time on his staff, "You are aware you may lose your lives in this battle."

We nodded. "Very well, if you wish you may stay at my tower tonight and I will go through training exercises," Clockwork said.

We all smiled and nodded, "Could that offer extend to me?" Danni asked timidly. Clockwork glanced at my young cousin and nodded. Danni grinned.

"Before that though, you must alert your families that you will be staying at Danny's house so to not arouse suspicion and grab any ghost hunting equipment the Fenton's left behind," Clockwork told us.

"Sure thing Clockwork," I said and we headed out. Tucker, Sam, Fright Knight, Danni and I piled into the Specter Speeder. Sam started the engine and headed back to the Fenton Portal.

I sat beside Danni in the Speeder and she rested her small head on my arm. Tomorrow we would attack. Tomorrow we would win. Tomorrow Vizier will fall.
