As the ghosts of the Dark Kingdom rulers past attack the gang, the group do their best to dodge and avoid them. One of the ghosts swoops down and lifts up Lance, carrying him off as he screams. But Pascal leaps onto the ghost, who catches him in its glowing hand. The chameleon flits his tongue into the ghost's eye, who drops Lance and Pascal.

"Adira! Catch me!" Lance cries out. But instead of catching him, Adira catches Pascal as Lance crashes to the floor. "Love hurts..." He groans.

Varian opens his mouth to agree, but Cassandra shoots him a warning look as if to say, Don't you dare say a word on the subject. He shuts his mouth, and instead helps Lance up.

"So, you have a dad?" Rapunzel says to Eugene as the spirits continue to glide around them.

"Yeah, turns out you weren't the only one who had a destiny waiting here," Eugene replies, as a couple of ghosts appear behind them.

"Is now really the time for this conversation?!" Varian shouts, pointing to the ghosts approaching them.

Rapunzel and Eugene smirk at each other, and work together to kick through the ghosts. But when the ghosts are defeated, they only reappear out of their statues.

Still attempting to keep anyone from entering the Moon Stone Chamber, Edmund fights one-on-one with Adira. He shoves her out of the way, and darts after Rapunzel who is headed towards the door. But before he can intercept her, Eugene rushes at him and knocks him down.

"No!" Edmund shouts. "She mustn't be let in!"

"Listen, Your Majesty —Father— I-I don't know what to call you, but you have to stop these spirits!" Eugene says.

"Please!" Varian adds, ducking to avoid a ghost's attack. "This is honestly the freakiest thing I have ever experienced!"

     "Even if I could, she must never enter that room!" Edmund says again

"Even if I could, she must never enter that room!" Edmund says again. He takes hold of Eugene, and flings him to the ground.

"Shows you don't know her at all," Varian tells the King. "When Rapunzel sets her mind to something, there's nothing that can stop her!"
