A Ghosts Secrets

To Protect

Phantom opened the doors and all of the heroes were shocked, there were thousands of ghosts. Some of them were bigger then others, some of them didn't look human, some of them didn't even have a distinct form. Phantom walked out onto a fancy balcony and looked at all of the ghosts, enemies and friends alike were in the crowd.

The ghosts were talking but when they saw Phantom they stopped talking and all of their attention was on him. Fright Knight stood at Phantom's side and Robin couldn't help but be amazed when he looked at Phantom. His cloak moved like it was being blown by some invisible wind and Phantom looked so proud.

He looked confident and it was like he had a purpose, right now he did, an important purpose. Phantom made sure his posture was good before he spoke, "I know many of you are wondering why you were called here. I'm sure even more of you are wondering why these living people are standing behind me and I will tell you."

"I have called you here for several reasons, the first is to inform you that Vlad is once again up to no good. He is planning on not only taking over the human realm but the ghost zone as well and we all know what will happen if he does. Vlad is working with a group of villains from the human realm to create an army to take over the Earth."

"Once he and his associates take over the Earth they will come here to attack the ghost zone and take it over. Another reason I called you here is because these people behind me are heroes in the human realm. It is unlikely that they will be able to stop Vlad themselves, they do not have much time to prepare and they will fall."

"I am not blind to the fact that you will be reluctant to help the living after everything that they've done. That leads to the third and final reason why I called you here, the heroes are going to fight Vlad no matter what. That's why I'm asking you, not as your king but as your friend, as someone that belongs to both worlds to help me fight."

"I am a ghost but I am also human and I will not stand by and watch either dimension fall to ruin because of another halfa. I am asking all of you, for the humans, for the ghost zone, for your family and friends, please help me save both worlds. I know you might not want to help the humans but they aren't the only ones in danger, we'll all fall if Vlad succeeds."

"If you choose to fight I will fight with you and so will the heroes, the humans and the ghosts will fight together to protect both worlds. I'm not asking you to make your decision now and I'm not ordering you to fight a battle where you might get hurt." Phantom held up three fingers, "Three hours, in three hours those of you that wish to fight will come back here."

"If you don't want to fight I won't blame you, I cannot deny that this battle won't be an easy one. I am your king but I won't force you to fight with me, I won't be like Pariah Dark, I care about both worlds and I will fight for each of them. Go back to your homes and think about what I have told you, if you choose to fight I'll be waiting."

Phantom walked back into the castle and Fright Knight followed, once the armored ghost closed the doors they walked to the throne room. Fright Knight smiled at Phantom, "I'm not sure about the others but you convinced me my king."

Phantom smiled at the knight, "Thank you Fright Knight, now we just have to see if the others agree with you."

Artemis huffed, "Okay, wait, can someone please explain what's going on?!"

Phantom mentally sighed, "This is going to be a long three hours." Phantom cleared his throat as he thought of how to explain what was going on to the heroes. "Why don't you just ask questions and I'll answer them."

Everyone nodded and Aqualad asked the first question, "Why did he say 'my king?'" Aqualad asked while gesturing toward Fright Knight and the armored ghost looked slightly annoyed.
