Brent dashed after his friends and the professor and made it to the fourth floor corridor just after they did. Well, there was no Skylar, which kind of worried him seeing as there was a monster currently on the loose. Shouldn't she have made it here before he did? And where was the professor? Brent finally caught sight of Marchand, but he still hadn't seen Skylar. Only three-fourths of their original group was here.

...and so was Derf, who had been singing as Brent was running up here. Peeves had told him to sing and then he'd tell him where Storm was? Brent frowned. None of those poltergeists could be trusted, could they? "Look, Peeves, you're either better than Storm, or you're not. So which is it? If you're truly better than him, you don't need us to tell you that," he pointed out. He was really hoping that reverse psychology would work, and it didn't end up backfiring on him. He knew firsthand that a mad and offended poltergeist wouldn't end well for anybody.

"Research says the energy of a poltergeist can destroy an entire portal, just like the one on the sixth floor. Thing is, a poltergeist has to go in the portal to really get the job done," he tried to explain to Peeves. "So if you really want Storm out of your hair, so to speak, we've got that way. We just need to know where he's at."
