Inside the house everything was destroyed. From the furniture to the walls, everything was in chaos. It seemed as if no one had lived in that house for decades. In that place, despite all the darkness, you could notice that on the floor there was some kind of strange symbol that seemed to be ancient. Nobody paid attention to it because it was not very noticeable.
- This place is really gloomy... - said Erin. The group was somewhat separated at the time.
- It really is... - said Andrew.
- How many times am I going to tell you? - replied Erin. - Stop restating things I've already said!
- But if I don't, I'm going to be quiet all the time! And I don't like that... - Andrew replied.
- Shhh... - Mat made that sound, to shut them up. - (There... There seems to be something, I feel hostility... I think.) Ah, Sam!
Mat noticed something rapidly approaching in her direction. Mat quickly approached her and pushed her. What was approaching was some kind of... Gunshot. They were both lying on the floor, with the lamp a few feet away from the group, and that shot was next to Mat's feet. It had gone through the floor.
- What was that? - Erin exclaimed, frightened.
- Watch out! - exclaimed the shadow ghost that isn't a ghost.
Everyone turned to look at that aberrant ball that had several mutilated faces and limbs around it. Also, upon closer inspection, it seemed to have several eyes and mouths as well.
"Th-that's not a... What is that thing?" Thought the shadow ghost that isn't a ghost... I don't have what to call it anything else, since I don't know what it is. Well, actually I do know, but I'm not going to tell you.
After seeing them, it started muttering unintelligible words and... It didn't do anything else, it just floated right there. Mat got up, and helped Samantha up. They returned to their previous locations.
- Aren't you going to do anything? - Mat said.
- I don't know... - said Sam.
- Do something, hurry up! - said Erin, who was next to Andrew, and pushed him forward.
- Hey.
- Don't worry, I'll attack it! - the ghost who isn't a ghost said, but was interrupted by...
- Take cover!
That ball wasn't just standing there doing nothing, it seemed to have gathered energy to attack a second time. What it was shooting out was some kind of dark flames, just like that of its victims. This made Mat already sure that it was the culprit. And so... After that, it started flying erratically around the place, smashing the things it collided with and... Melting some (it touched the ceiling sometimes). Mat covered everyone with a light blue PSI barrier.
- It stopped! - Erin shouted, after a few moments. That ball went back to where it was.

- Well, in that case... - said Mat. - H-hey...
- Here! - Erin exclaimed.
She had thrown it a large piece of wood she found nearby. The creature didn't flinch. Erin then said:
- I-It doesn't do anything to it... It was useless...
- Well obviously not, didn't you see how it melted things? - Mathias said.
- Well yes, but... What if I throw things created with your powers at it? - asked Erin.
- In that case, it would be better if I did it. - replied Mat.
- Right, right. - replied Erin.
- Then... - he said, and added, this time addressing the specter. - Hey! You're the one causing all that trouble down there in town, aren't you? Why are you doing it? Say it!
The sphere or ball didn't answer him.
- Answer me!
It still didn't answer.
- Hey, Mat... - Sam said to him. - I don't think it can... Answer.
- It looks like... Watch out! - the shadow shouted again.
The ball fired several beams of energy at the group. Mat protected them by reinforcing his PSI barrier after putting another one in front of it, it was green.
- Damn, really, I can't talk to it? - Mat said.
- Mat, attack it! You too, Andrew.

- Huh, me?
- With that shadow, quick!
- Ok! - Andrew replied.
The shadow shot out towards the sphere and, from its hands, shot a fireball, which the sphere dodged as it flew erratically again. The shadow quickly approached the sphere again to attack it with its hands, which grew claws, but had no luck. It kept trying to attack, but was missing. At that, it also received a blow but... Only a metallic sound was heard coming from the crash, the shadow didn't receive damage. This puzzled Andrew, but not the rest. The shadow kept trying to hit a shot.
"So... I'm going to have to defeat it in order to save the townspeople... I've never fought ghosts like this and I can't exorcise either, but... It doesn't matter, I have to stop it." Mat thought, as the shadow attacked.
At that, Mat also started attacking it with his PSI creations, in the form of multicolored spears coming out of the ground. To do so he had to put his hands on the ground.
Sam and Erin were frightened by that, even Andrew was frightened and it showed on his face... Even he, who was almost expressionless, was startled.
- ...Did I overdo it? - Mat said, after turning to look at them.
- Y-you didn't hit it... - Sam said, startled.
- What's it doing? - said Erin.
Mat turned around and saw that the sphere was being charged with energy.
"What is that?" thought Mat and, without hesitation, covered everyone with PSI barriers. The sphere released all the energy then, which looked like an explosion, and... It went through the barriers. It wounded everyone with minor cuts, though... Mat took the most damage.
- Agh! - Mat.
Only Mat groaned in pain.
- Hey. - Mat said to the rest, he seemed to want to laugh, ignoring the situation a bit. - You know what? It would have been better if you didn't come, ha.
- And now you say that? - Erin complained to him.
"I didn't think it was going to end like this? Althogh, those are not very serious injuries." Mat thought. "But I have to defeat it somehow... Wait."
Mat realized something at that moment and... He ran up to the creature, readying his left arm to attack it.
- Hey, what's that lad doing? - said the shadow.
- I don't kn- Hey, Mat, wait up! - exclaimed Andrew.
- Mat, what the hell are you doing? - Erin exclaimed.
- Hey, Mat! - said Sam.
Mat paid no attention to them and approached the creature but... It dodged him. Mat, almost instantly, pushed himself with a spring-like PSI creation to reach it, but the sphere kept dodging him until... It worked!
Mat touched it with his left hand but...
- Mat! - Sam shouted.
Everyone watched the scene in astonishment. The mark on Mat's left hand was glowing and he, along with the spherical aberration, was levitating in the air, doing nothing. They were spinning.
- Huh!? - Mat said. - What the heck? Agh!
Whips, similar to that at least, and spears started coming out of the mark. They were golden and glowing. These began to cover the creature, who was trapped in these. The sleeve covering Mat's arm began to destroy itself as well.
- Mat! What are you do-? - Erin said, but she couldn't finish what she wanted to say after seeing Mat.
- Erin, what's going-? What? - Andrew exclaimed.
Sam was petrified at the sight. No one at that moment could understand what was happening.
Mat's left hand was... It was bleeding badly. No, his entire left arm was damaged, with severe wounds. The things coming out of the mark were damaging his arm as well, but it was regenerating.
Mat put his right hand over the mark, as if trying to stop... That and...
- AGHH!
He pulled his hand away quickly, he was overwhelmed with pain. He damaged his right hand severely. His fingers were charred and barely hanging on his hand and... They regenerated.
At that, the creature slowly began to disintegrate and Mat began to lose consciousness.
