Stan dove, the mist reflected off his gleaming sword.
"What is that stuff?" He screamed across the room.
"Destroying mist, it takes people to their lair." Cashek responded.
The ghost like creature drifted in the castle. It's hand still out stretched towards the group. It shot another blast of mist this time it was directed in Stan's way. He jumped left, dogging the ray by seconds. The ghost screamed in rage. Stan shot out the scream. He saw Glam crumple to the floor as the scream ended.
Out of the dark a arrow zipped towards the creature hitting it in the chest. It yelled and turned to Scazm. As it moved it a sizzling sound filled the air. Stan gazed at the monster as it boiled and vanished. Leaving behind a piece of the clothe that had stuck to the arrow.
"So, what was that thing?" Stan questioned
"A Phantom and a very evil one at that." Ren told him.
"A Phantom's touch will kill you, glancing it's face will make you one of them." Splitter said.
Glam had bent down examining the clothe. He walked over to investigate himself. It was small and smell of burned meat. Stan flipped it over, the clothe burning him. On the back and a symbol of a dragon and a bright sun. The dragon was shooting flames at the sun.
"What does that mean." Stan whispered.
"It is the symbol of Dem The Great." Scazm said,"Looks like are newest man."
"Why is he so great?" He said
"He was a warrior much like you, but he had a passion for evil." Splitter said softly,"He turned on his trainer killing him, at this moment he is ruler of South America, but secretly."
"We were very lucky, Dem's Phantom does not take prisoners." Splitter said.
Stan's brain kicked in. Maybe Dem wants something from him. Or maybe he wants him.
He started to pace around the room. When he turned back to examine the clothe more it was gone.
"Hey, its gone." He yelled.
Glam responded,"Yes, well it does that if the Phantom is being ranked up or he just wants it back."
"Okay, that makes sense." He said, but not understanding.
He noticed that his sword was not on his belt. He turned and saw it on the floor. Stooping he picked it up.
"Put that down!" Splitter yelled, across the room.
Stan through it on the ground. He saw what it was, there was a dark haze covering the sword. Then it was gone.
