FREAKNAPPED!
A few minutes later after Team Phantom had returned back from their adventure in the alternate universe with alternate Team Phantom against Hertha and the Harvesters. Dani and Dale were still camping, Jack and Maddie were in the lab and Jazz was in the living room reading. True to Clockwork's word, none of them other than Danny, Dayla, Sam, Tucker, Andrew and Valerie remembered what happened over the past few days.
Everything seemed quiet as Danny, Dayla, Sam, Tucker, Andrew and Valerie sat down in the kitchen until Danny and Dayla's ghost senses went off.
Everyone including Jazz ran outside to see a huge green blob ghost monster roaring down the street, chasing after several cars along the road.
"So much for a ghost free summer huh guys?" Dayla joked as she and Danny changed into their ghost forms.
Valerie changed into her ghost hunting suit and then Sam, Tucker, Andrew and Jazz pulled out several ecto blasters.
Danny and Dayla flew in front of the monster and delivered a combined ecto blast at it, blasting it to pieces and sending its body all over the street. Danny and Dayla landed beside the others and said in unison, "That was too easy"
Suddenly the goo all gathered up and changed into three medium sized blob ghost monsters. Danny and Dayla both then said, "Like we said, too easy!"
Danny and Dayla took on one of them, Valerie and Jazz took on another and Sam, Tucker and Andrew took on the third one.
"Dayla! Figure eight manoeuvre!" Danny shouted.
Dayla nodded and then she and Danny spun around and dodged the ghost's tentacles in a figure eight movement which caused the ghost's tentacles to get wrapped around its head and accidentally get tangled up as it tried to catch Danny and Dayla.
Danny and Dayla then blasted it again with a combined ecto blast, causing it to explode once more and this time, they didn't allow it time to fall to the ground to reform again and both of them sucked up the pieces of it within their Fenton Thermoses.
"Hey Sam! Grab on!" Tucker called out.
Sam knew what he was talking about and allowed him to grab her hand and started spinning her around, she started firing several blasts at the blobs, splattering them all over the place. Tucker then put Sam down and he, Andrew and Sam sucked up every single drop in their thermoses. Jazz rode on the back of Valerie's board as they flew around, Jazz blasting the blobs with her ecto blaster while Valerie sucked the pieces in her thermos. It wasn't long until they were all done and not a single ghost blob was left.
"Still think it was too easy?" Sam asked with a smirk as they all re-grouped, which earned an annoyed look from Danny and Dayla but then they all just laughed their heads off.
A couple of days later, down at the Amity Park Police Station, Officer Carly Logan had just finished writing up a report when someone knocked on her office door. She got up and opened the door to find a man with a small crew cut hair style and wearing semi casual clothing.
"Yes can I help you?" Carly asked.
"Hi. I'm Officer Jason Lyle from Missing Persons Unit of the Chicago Police Department" The man introduced as he showed her his badge.
"Oh yes, I was expecting you. Please come in" Carly said as she gestured for him to come in.
Jason sat down in the office chair and said, "So I guess you know why I'm here"
"As we spoke on the phone, you're here because we have had a case of a missing teenager similar to several cases you have been dealing with in Chicago lately" Carly said. Jason nodded and then said as he showed her several pictures of missing children, "It's not just in Chicago. I've had same reports of missing children and teenagers from different police departments in New York, San Francisco and Florida and at all crime scenes and at all crime scenes, there were traces of faint ecto-signatures"
"It was the same at the last place the kid went missing here as well" Carly said.
Jason nodded and said, "Looks like we could use the help of Team Phantom on this one"
Danny, Dale, Dani and Jazz were at the table eating breakfast. Jack and Maddie had left for a week long ghost hunter's convention in Wisconsin. Dani and Dale had just gotten back from their camping trip with their friends the other day and were ready for some relaxation time at home.
"So what are you guys gonna do today?" Jazz asked.
Before any of them could answer, there was a knock at the front door. Dale got up and answered the door to reveal Officer Carly Logan, Officer Jason Lyle and a middle aged Chinese man standing with them.
The Asian man then spoke, "Please. We seek help of Team Phantom"
After a few minutes of introducing themselves to each other, all of them sat down in the living room as Jason started, "Several children and teenagers have gone missing in Chicago. For a couple of weeks we still have not been able to find them, then I started getting reports of missing children and teenagers from New York, Florida and San Francisco. All of them have shown that all that was found at each place they were last seen was faint ecto-signatures. Then when I spoke to Carly over the phone, she had told me that they had just had a case of a missing teenager here in Amity Park and I came as soon as I heard"
The Chinese man who's name was Li Jing showed a picture of a fourteen year old Chinese girl, with short black hair and blue eyes, wearing a white blouse shirt with black jeans and converse shoes to Dani, Dale, Danny, Dayla and Jazz and said, "This is the missing teenager. My daughter Nian, she's all I have left since her mother died when she was four years old. She has always been a kind, happy and brave girl. Before the summer holidays began, she had gotten a part time job at Read Along Book Store. Two days ago, she had left that morning for work but didn't come home and for three days she had not been seen"
"Wait. I've seen her around Casper High. She's was in Dani's and I's history class during the school year" Dale said as he recognised Nian's photo.
"All we know for sure is that she disappeared after she finished her shift at work and when I and a couple of officers checked around where she disappeared, there was also a faint ecto-signature as well" Carly said.
"So a ghost could be behind this?" Danny asked.
Jason nodded and said, "We were hoping you could help us with this case and hopefully find not only Nian but all the other missing children as well"
Li then grabbed Dayla's hands and pleaded, "Please help find my daughter. Please bring her home safe. If I lose her….I….I don't know what I'll do"
Dayla placed her hand on Li's hand and said, "I promise, we'll do everything we can to help find your daughter"
After contacting the others, they all split up into teams to check out Amity Park, hoping to find other clues that could lead them to the missing kids. Danny, Sam and Tucker teamed up with Officer Carly to search one part of town, Dayla, Valerie, Andrew and Jazz went to check out the other side of town and Dani and Dale teamed up with Officer Jason to go check out the book store where Nian worked.
All three of them entered the book store and spoke with Nian's boss, Michael who told them everything he had told the police. He then remembered something and said, "Oh wait! I remember something. Sarah was here when I left the book store early to head home because my wife was feeling sick. I asked her and Sarah to close the store after they finished"
"Who's Sarah?" Dani asked.
"She's another part time employee at the start of the summer. Hasn't worked here long but her and Nian got along pretty well and she was the last one who probably saw her when she went missing" Michael answered. "She'll be here in a moment to start her shift"
The store door opened and a fourteen year old girl with blonde hair tied back in a tight bun, hazel eyes and wore a white shirt with blue jeans.
"Good morning boss. What's going on?" The girl asked.
"Sarah, I'm sure you recognise Dani and Dale Fenton and this is Officer Jason" Michael answered.
Sarah smiled and said, "Of course. It's an honour to meet you both. I assume you're here because of Nian"
"Yes. Michael said you were the last one to see her before she went missing" Jason said. Sarah nodded and said, "There's not much I can tell you. We closed up the shop and I noticed the flowers in the vase needed changing, so I asked her on her way home from work if she could get some more from the park and bring it to work the next day. There's a really nice field in the park filled to the brim with flowers"
Dale then had a thought and asked, "Sarah, do you think you could show us the field where Nian would've gotten the flowers?"
"I can't just leave work" Sarah said.
"It's okay Sarah. Please, go with them to see if you can help them find Sarah" Michael requested.
She smiled sadly at them and nodded as she said, "I just have to stack these new books on the shelves and I'll be out in ten minutes"
"Thank you" Dani and Dale both said at the same time.
As the three of them walked out of the store to wait for Sarah, they didn't notice the sly look on her face.
As Danny, Sam, Carly and Tucker were walking around the Amity Park Mall, asking people if they had seen Nian, showing them a picture of her as they went, Danny got a phone call and answered it. After a few moments he said before hanging up, "Okay. Keep us posted and let Dayla's team know"
"Was that Dani?" Sam asked.
Danny nodded and then answered, "Yep. She, Dale and Jason may have a lead. They're gonna keep us posted if they find anything"
Dayla, Andrew, Valerie and Jazz were mainly heading down the streets of Amity Park, asking anyone and showing a picture of Nian, hoping someone might've seen her. They had received the call from Dani and Dale about the lead they had discovered at the park.
As they were showing her picture to a middle aged woman, she said as she nodded, "Yep. I definitely saw her. We accidentally bumped into each other as I was doing my late afternoon jog at the park. She helped me pick up my stuff and then she continued to go further into the park"
"Thank you so much" Jazz said and then the woman continued on.
"So Nian was at the park. That confirms what Dani, Dale and Jason had discovered" Valerie said.
"But if she went into the park, why didn't she come out?" Jazz wondered.
"It's a good question and it's a good thing Dani, Dale and Jason are already investigating that area" Dayla said. Andrew then added, "Not to mention, Carly said there was a faint ecto-signature heading for the park before they lost it"
Dayla's phone then went off and she answered it, "Danny? Yep….hmmmhmmm….okay….see you back at the house"
She hung up and then said, "Danny's team is heading back to Fenton Works. We'll keep heading down this area for another fifteen minutes and then head back to Fenton Works ourselves"
Dani, Dale and Jason continued to follow Sarah throughout the park as she led them to the field where Nian was going to get the flowers. All three of them had noticed that they were going pretty deep into the heart of the park.
"Are you sure that Nian would've come this far to get flowers?" Jason asked.
"Of course. As I said, there's an area in this park where during the summer, it's filled to the brim with flowers" Sarah answered.
As they continued to walk, Dani couldn't help but feel something off about Sarah. Like there was some kind of strange aura surrounding her. Dani was about to say something, when Dale cut her off in a whisper, "I know Dani. I can feel it too. We better keep a close eye on her"
Dani nodded and they continued to follow Sarah deeper and deeper into the park. They then stopped at the field and saw it was in fact filled to the brim with colourful flowers of all different colours and types.
Sarah then said, "We're here. I told you"
They all started to look around for any signs that Sarah was here. Dale then noticed something deep in the flowers on the ground, he pushed apart the flowers and found an iPhone 7+, he picked it up and said, "I found a phone here. It could be Sarah's"
Just when he was about to turn around, Dani screamed as she formed a shield around Dale, "BRO WATCH OUT!"
Dale and Jason gasped as they saw Sarah was about to stab Dale with a glowing green dagger. Dani then demanded, "Is this what happened to Nian? Did you kill her?"
Sarah said nothing and suddenly her appearance changed to reveal a purple skinned bald-headed female ghost with black pupiless eyes and was wearing a red robe. She screeched and then flew off. Dani and Dale changed into their ghost forms and after grabbing Jason, they all flew after the ghost.
"Now I know why there was a strange aura around her! She was a ghost!" Dani said.
They continued to fly until they stopped as they could feel Sarah's aura between a circles of trees. They were unaware that behind one of the trees, Sarah had drunk something and then came out. Dani and Dale lit their hands with ecto-energy ready to fight if they needed to.
Jason then demanded, "Where is Sarah?! What have you done with her?!"
"She has not been harmed….well that is if she has done what she is told and our lord and master hasn't punished her" Sarah answered. "She will forever remain a slave to our cause"
"What cause? What are you talking about?" Dale asked.
Sarah said nothing and then suddenly fell to the ground and melted until there was nothing left of her but ectoplasm, causing both Dani and Dale to scream and look in fear. Jason asked, "Are you two okay? What's wrong?"
Dani and Dale were both silent at first, but then Dani answered, "It….her melting reminded us of what Vlad Plasmius tried to do to us"
Jason was silent, he had heard from the TV interviews of their story and could see the fear in their eyes. Jason then noticed the small bottle and picked it up, he observed the carvings on it and said, "We better get back to the others and let them know what we found"
After everyone had gotten back to Fenton Works, Dani, Dale and Jason told them everything that had happened in the park. Tucker had immediately started charging up the iPhone to see if they could find anything on that and Sam looked at the vial and said, "These carvings are nothing I had ever seen before in my Goth books. It may be a ghost symbol"
Andrew then got an idea and suggested, "Dayla, do you think Zortheus may have an idea about these markings?"
"Maybe. I'll call him" Dayla said and tapped on the purple gem on the metal bracelet Zortheus had given her during when they had to save Danny from dying from Vlad's poison. She said to the gem as it began to glow, "Zortheus. It's me Dayla Phantom. I need your help please"
"Who's Zortheus?" Carly asked Andrew.
"Zortheus is a ghost sorcerer and one of our friends and allies. He helped us during the time when Vlad still had his ghost powers and he poisoned Danny" Andrew answered.
The gem glowed and then suddenly in a burst of light, Zortheus appeared in the middle of the room. He smiled at Dayla, Andrew, Sam, Tucker, Jazz, Valerie, Dani and Dale and said, "My friends. It is so good to see you again"
"It's good to see you too Zortheus" Dayla said. She gestured to Carly and Jason and began, "Oh this is…"
"Police Officer Carly Logan from the Amity Park Police Department and Officer Jason Lyle from the Missing Person's Unit of the Chicago Police Department" Zortheus cut her off as he shook both the police officer's hands. "It's a pleasure to meet you"
Jason and Carly looked at the ghost in shock and amazement and asked in unison, "How the heck did you know that?"
"I'm a sorcerer, henceforth my powers allow me to know all about a person just by looking at them" Zortheus answered with an amused smile. He then asked the others, "Now what can I do for you?"
Danny handed Zortheus the vial and asked, "Could you please look at this vile and tell us about these markings on it?"
Zortheus nodded as he grabbed the vial and began to look it over. He first lightly smelled the inside of the vial and said, "Nightlock mixed with blood blossoms. This poison melts and fully kills a ghost instantly"
He then looked at the carvings and said, "I have seen those carvings before"
He, handed the vial back to Danny before he snapped his fingers and suddenly a book appeared in the room. He grabbed it and began flicking through the pages until he stopped and read through it before saying, "As I suspected. The carvings on the vial describe Morrigan"
"Morrigan?" Everyone asked. "Who's that?"
"Morrigan is the Ghost Goddess of Death. And the ghost who tried to kill you, is part of a huge cult of ghosts and one human leader that was thought to be long gone known as the followers of Morrigan" Zortheus answered. "Looks like someone has started it up again"
"You mean this had happened before?" Carly asked.
Zortheus nodded and began, "It was many years ago. This cult had been going on ever since the late 1600's. This cult basically put the town known as Salem on the map. A band of ghosts had created a cult that followed Morrigan and worshipped her. They had lived in the human world and with their human leader, they took dozens of children and kept them as they're slaves. Their leader was a man named Frederick Isaac Showenhower and the cult continued, with each new male born in the Showenhower family. It wasn't until the 1800's that the Ancients and the Observers had stopped the cult and forever banished them to the far corners of the Ghost Zone"
"Why would this cult take children though?" Valerie asked.
"It's their tradition. They take children from the ages of ten years of age and keep them as their slaves until they turn eighteen….and that's when their ritual starts" Zortheus answered.
Everyone was silent as they knew that couldn't mean good news. Tucker then nervously asked, "And what is they're ritual exactly for the kids who turn eighteen?"
Zortheus was silent at first and then answered, "Under a full moon, they would sacrifice them. Basically kill them for their goddess"
Everyone's jaw dropped in complete shock and fear and then shouted, "NO WAY!"
Danny and Dayla's eyes then widened and they both asked, "Wait a minute! Did you say Frederick Isaac Showenhower?"
"Yes. Why?" Zortheus asked.
"Tucker. Look up Freakshow for a moment" Danny said.
Tucker did what he asked and then showed Freakshow's profile on the web. Everyone then looked and saw his full name was Frederick Isaac Showenhower the 56th.
"So Freakshow's family has always been in contact with ghosts. Ever since the 1600's" Andrew said.
Jason then realised something and pulled out a file and his eyes widened and said, "Oh no! One of the mission kids is now eighteen. He just turned eighteen yesterday"
"Zortheus, when's the next full moon?" Dale asked.
Zortheus closed his eyes for a moment and after a few seconds, he opened them and answered them, "Tomorrow evening"
"We better hurry and find them!" Danny, Dale, Dani and Dayla all said in unison.
"One problem guys, we don't know where they are" Jazz pointed out.
"Actually I think we now do" Tucker said. Sam asked, "What makes you say that Tucker?"
"Because Nian had sent a video message somehow to her phone just yesterday" Tucker answered as he showed them the now fully charged iPhone.
Everyone gathered close as Tucker pressed the video and it began to play showing Nian on the screen, who looked horrified and scared. Her shirt was a little ripped and her hair ruffled.
"I really hope someone sees this video. My name is Nian Jing and three days after work, I was kidnapped by a bunch of ghosts and they took me far from Amity Park" Nian spoke quietly. In the background, she was in some kind of old barn. "It's not only me here. There's almost 50 other children here from ten years old. I can't talk too loudly otherwise Freakshow's ghosts might hear me. We are treated like slaves and anyone who doesn't follows orders is severely punished. One of the teens here, Michael has just turned eighteen and in less than two days they're gonna kill him. They're already keeping him in solitary to prepare him for some kind of ritual. He hasn't got much time. I only managed to record this video, because one of the kids had managed to hold onto their phones when they were taken and it only has enough battery for this. Please! Whoever finds this video, get the police and Team Phantom and hurry! They got us hidden in the forests of Salem…"
The video then stopped. Dayla then said, "Of course. As you said Zortheus, this cult put Salem on the map so it's no wonder they would be hiding the children in Salem. It's the town of its origin"
"So what's the plan Team Phantom?" Carly asked.
"It's already late in the afternoon. We're gonna have to leave now if we're gonna get to Salem on time" Danny answered. "We'll take the Fenton Jet. We'll be there by tomorrow night"
"Zortheus, will you come with us and help take down Freakshow?" Dayla asked.
"Anything for my friends" Zortheus said.
"Then let us waste no more time" Dani and Dale said in unison.
Jazz pressed a button on the floor and commanded, "Twelve to the Op Centre"
A large tube circled around them and then immediately sucked them all through, right to the Ops Centre. Carly then said as they got out of the tube, "I have to admit, your parents have made some pretty cool high tech stuff"
Everyone then buckled in as Danny, Valerie and Tucker activated the controls. The Op Centre then detached itself from the roof of Fenton Works and transformed into the Fenton Jet and began to fly at high speed out of Amity Park.
Valerie activated the auto-Jack which said in its computer voice, "Auto-Jack activated. Please buckle up and pass the fudge"
"Auto-Jack, takes us to Salem" Valerie commanded.
Later that evening, in the forests of Salem, all the children were still working. Some of them were feeding Freakshow and his cult members at a large table. Freakshow was in his ringmaster clothes still but now, he wore a necklace with a bright red ruby in the centre. His cult members was just like Sarah. All of them were male and female ghosts and were purple skinned bald-headed, with black pupiless eyes and was wearing red robes.
Freakshow looked at Nian and ordered, "Slave girl, take some food and give it to the sacrifice. He'll need his strength for the ritual tomorrow evening"
Nian nodded and grabbed some food from the other children. She walked over to an old run-down jail house and entered inside. In one of the cells, sitting on the ground showing nothing but fear was Michael himself. He was now forced to wear a white shirt with white pants, to show he was a sacrifice.
She placed the food through the hole and whispered, "Michael, it's going to be okay"
"I'm trying to be brave….I'm really trying….but no-one is coming. How can we be sure that someone had seen the video you sent yesterday?" Michael asked.
"We must have hope. Someone had to have found my phone and seen the video I managed to send thanks to one of the other children who had their phone still" Nian said as she placed her hand through the gaps of the cell doors.
Michael grabbed her hand and asked as a few small tears fell from his eyes, "Can you promise me something Nian?"
"Anything" Nian agreed. Michael nodded and asked, "If I don't make it and the rest of you managed to escape on time, will you tell my mother that I love her and….I'm really sorry about that fight we had"
Nian was silent but nodded and said, "I promise"
They were both unaware that someone was listening to their conversation and flew off to go and tell Freakshow.
The next morning, Nian was suddenly dragged right out of her bed by two of the cult members, alarming the children and causing the shake in fear as other cult members threatened them with glowing red whips if they tried anything.
Nian was dragged outside and forced to kneel down in front of Freakshow who wouldn't stop grinning.
"So slave, I heard you made a little video two days ago" Freakshow said, his grin not dropping.
He then grabbed her chin gently but forcefully as he kneeled down and made her look straight into his eyes and asked, "If you tell whose phone you used, I'll show you some mercy in your punishment. Now whose phone did you use?"
"No-one's. I found the phone and decided to use it" Nian lied, not wanting to get anyone else into trouble. "No-one else was involved. It was me and me alone"
"Trying to get help? How noble of you, well it looks like it didn't work since there's obviously no-one coming" Freakshow said as he stood back up.
"You're wrong freak! Someone will come and bring you down! I heard about you from the news reports and interviews of the Phantom Twins and they're gonna take your sorry butt down" Nian said defiantly and bravely.
"A freak am I? Well, I believe it's time to show everyone what happens when you defy your masters" Freakshow said. He then announced to everyone, "Tonight at the full moon, there shall be two sacrifices! You will be joining the boy and sacrificed for the great Goddess Morrigan"
Nian's eyes widened in complete fear. Freakshow then ordered the two cult member, "Get her ready for the ritual tonight and then throw her in the cells with the boy"
"At once Master" Both the cult members said as they dragged Nian away.
A few minutes later, Nian who was now wearing a white plain dress was thrown into the cell with Michael. She began to cry with fear and Michael hugged her in comfort.
"I'm sorry Michael. I won't be able to keep my promise, they caught me and now….I'll be killed too" Nian cried.
"My friend, as you said we must keep hope" Michael said. "We have to"
Team Phantom, Zortheus, Carly and Logan arrived at Salem at about 8 o'clock at night. They parked the Fenton Jet outside of the woods. Carly and Logan had contacted the state police and they were on their war, everyone grabbed some ecto-weapons and headed into the woods after Danny, Dale, Dani and Dayla changed into their ghost forms.
They arrived at the area and remained hidden amongst the trees. They looked around and saw torches were lit and the cult members were gathering around two wooden posts in a huge circle. Some of the other cult members were forcing the children inside the old barns and locking the doors.
Four cult members at drums then began to play. Zortheus said, "The ritual is about to begin"
"So what's the plan?" Jason asked.
Danny then said, "Okay. We'll split into teams. Jazz, Dani, Carly and Valerie, you guys will cover the north side. Sam, Zortheus and Tucker, you're with me here and Dayla, Dale, Logan and Andrew, you guys take the right side. When I give the signal, we all jump out and stop the ritual, Dayla and I will handle Freakshow while you guys take care of sucking up all the other ghosts in the thermoses"
Everyone nodded and then quietly headed for their positions. They all watched as Freakshow came out of the old house, wearing a red cloak and carrying a book. He stood in front of the two wooden pillars.
"All hail Morrigan!" Freakshow shouted and then all the other ghosts repeated, "All hail Morrigan!"
"Bring out the sacrifices!" Freakshow commanded.
The old cell house doors opened and Team Phantom, Carly and Logan gasped as they saw not only Michael but Nian as well, being dragged over with their hands chained in cuffs over to the wooden posts by the cult members.
Tears continued to fall from Nian's eyes as they were taken over to the posts and then cuffed and tied to them with rope as well.
The drums then stopped and Freakshow spoke, "My brothers and sisters, after so long of our glorious cult was disbanded so many years ago and my ancestor was killed for what we believed in, we have risen from the ashes! And now, we shall please our goddess Morrigan with sacrifice!"
"ALL HAIL MORRIGAN!" The ghosts all shouted in joy.
"As tradition, for the sacrifices to be accepted by our great goddess, a loyal member must give us his / her ectoplasm in order to please her and allow her to accept our gracious gifts" Freakshow continued. "Who shall volunteer?"
One of the male ghosts stood forward and said, "I shall volunteer Master"
Freakshow nodded and gestured for the ghost to come forward. Danny whispered to Zortheus, "What are they doing?"
"He's going to take some that ghost's ectoplasm for the ritual" Zortheus answered.
Freakshow handed the ghost a dagger and then watched as the ghost sliced his hand and allowed the ectoplasm to fall into a goblet that Freakshow had held underneath.
The ghost then joined back with the others and Freakshow turned and face Michael and Nian. He raised the cup high into the air and spoke in Irish, "Le cumhacht na gealaí gealaí, cumhachtóidh mé an cupán ectoplasm do Mhorraigáin le do thoil léi agus glacadh lenár bronntanais (With the power of the full moon, I empower this cup of ectoplasm for Morrigan to please her and accept our gifts)"
They all watched as the goblet began to glow for a moment before it died down. Freakshow then walked up to Michael and dipped his finger in the ectoplasm for a moment, he then placed some of it on Michael's in the shape of a small line and spoke in Irish once again, "Morrigan, mar a mhargaim an íobairt seo le ectoplasm duine de do lucht leanúna dílis, d'fhéadfá achomharc a dhéanamh go luath agus gheobhaidh tú do bhronntanas (Morrigan, as I mark this sacrifice with the ectoplasm of one of your loyal followers, may you be appeased for very soon you will recieve your gift)"
He then walked over to Nian and did the same thing with the ectoplasm as he repeated, "Morrigan, mar a mhargaim an íobairt seo le ectoplasm duine de do lucht leanúna dílis, d'fhéadfá achomharc a dhéanamh go luath agus gheobhaidh tú do bhronntanas ((Morrigan, as I mark this sacrifice with the ectoplasm of one of your loyal followers, may you be appeased for very soon you will recieve your gift)"
Freakshow stepped back and announced as two of the cult members walked and stood in front of Michael and Nian with daggers in their hands, "And now, Morrigan we your humble servants give you, SACRIFICE!"
The two ghosts raised their daggers up high, aiming towards Nian's and Michael's chest, Nian and Michael closed their eyes believing it was the end when…
"NOW!" Danny shouted and all of Team Phantom, Zortheus, Carly and Logan all jumped out, taking Freakshow and the ghosts by surprise. Dani and Dale blasted the two ghosts that were gonna kill Nian and Michael away from them and freed them from their binds and cuffs.
"Go take cover! We'll handle this!" Dani and Dale told Michael and Nian who both nodded and ran towards the cell house to take cover.
Freakshow frowned and growled, "YOU!"
"So Freakshow, looks like we're putting you right back into jail and this time we'll make sure you won't escape" Carly said.
"Have you forgotten, I have a massive army of ghosts here" Freakshow challenged and then grinned even wider as his necklace began to glow and suddenly he started floating in the air and finished, "And as you can see, my ancestor's amulet gives me incredible powers"
"We stopped you once before freak and we'll do it again because we have gotten pretty more powerful in your absence" Dayla said as she and Danny floated in front of Freakshow.
"You guys take care of the ghosts, Danny and I will handle Freakshow" Dayla said.
"You got it!" Everyone else said and began to fight against the cult members and suck them into the thermoses.
Freakshow started flying around in the air with Danny and Dayla chasing after him. Zortheus duplicated himself and each duplicate stretched out their arms like they were rubber and wrapped themselves around some of the cult members, holding them long enough for Sam, Andrew and Tucker to suck them inside their thermoses.
"Great teamwork guys!" Andrew said. "Zortheus keep doing that!"
Zortheus nodded and continued along with his duplicates to grab onto the cult members. Valerie sent various nets from her jet sled, trapping seven cult members at a time as Jazz sucked them inside the thermos.
"Guess what everybody! The best ghost hunters in the world are here!" Jazz shouted and then Valerie finished, "And that means you're about to get your butt handed to ya!"
Dani and Dale stood back to back with Carly and Logan. Dani and Dale blasted the cult members with their ecto-blasts while Carly and Logan sucked them into their thermoses.
"Hey Dale, ectoplasmic tornado time!" Dani said. Dale nodded and replied, "Let's do it!"
Dani and Dale both started spinning around and allowed their ectoplasmic energy to flow from their bodies, forming two medium sized ecto tornados, as they spun around more and more cult members got caught in the winds and then spat out heading straight for Carly and Logan, who aimed and sucked them up in their thermoses.
"I gotta admit, this is a bit fun" Carly said. Logan nodded in agreement and said, "Same here"
Freakshow sent multiple energy blasts at Danny and Dayla who both dodged it expertly. Danny then managed to get up close and punched Freakshow right in the stomach and sent him towards Dayla, who grabbed the end of his cloak and started spinning around before letting go.
Freakshow regained his balance in the air and growled at both Danny and Dayla and then shouted in rage and anger, "I have had enough, of being defeated by a couple of half-ghost freaks of nature!"
He raised his hands in the air and suddenly a huge red and black ball of energy formed above him, before Danny and Dayla could react, he threw the energy straight at them which hit them dead on and they both screamed as they both suddenly started getting electrocuted by the enormous amount of energy and sent crashing straight into the ground, in a different part of the woods.
Freakshow landed in front of them and pulled out his own dagger, he picked them both up by the collars of their suits and sneered, "Once I kill you two, I'll kill your friends and then there'll be nothing to stop our glorious cult from grabbing more children and sacrificing them to the great Morrigan!"
Danny's and Dayla's eyes suddenly glowed but this time one of their eyes was bright green, while Danny's right eye was blue and Dayla's right eye was red and they both screamed, "No…you…WON'T!"
Their Ghostly Ice-Fiery Wails were activated, Freakshow screamed as he was forced to let go of Danny and Dayla and he was pushed back by the huge waves of raw ectoplasmic energy straight into a huge pile of rocks, combined with ice and fire energy, as the energy continued, all three types of energies suddenly began to combine and instead of green, blue and red, it was now pure white energy.
Freakshow continued to scream as the energy continued to hit him, the amulet could no longer take the pressure of the energy and had broken into a million of pieces, leaving Freakshow completely powerless.
Danny and Dayla stopped their assault and changed back into their human forms feeling a bit drained from using that much energy. Freakshow fainted and fell to the ground.
"Our Ghostly Ice-Fiery Wails….haven't done that before" Dayla panted out. Danny nodded in agreement and panted, "That was…pretty…awesome"
After cuffing Freakshow, Danny and Dayla returned back to find that Dani, Dale, Sam, Tucker, Andrew, Valerie, Andrew, Zortheus, Carly and Logan had captured all the ghostly cult members and the Salem Police and ambulances from the North Shore Medical Centre Salem Hospital had finally arrived.
Nian and Michael opened both the barns and all the children ran out of there, cheering that they were free from the cult's clutches. The children were checked over by the paramedics and then transferred to the hospital. Freakshow was handed over to the Salem Police and would be transferred to a high security prison in a week.
Zortheus had taken the thermoses and had used his powers to teleport to the Ghost Zone and had told Team Phantom he would take the cult members to Queen Annaya for sentencing and hopefully this time, they would never return.
After spending a week in Salem, all the children's families were contacted and all the were transported by plane back to their homes, except for Nian who got to ride in the Fenton Jet back to Amity Park, where her father would be waiting at Fenton Works.
As soon as they got back to Fenton Works, Nian's father had arrived at the front door. As soon as he entered the house, Nian cried and hugged her father in a huge embrace.
"Oh my daughter! I thought I lost you! Wǒ ài nǐ wǒ de nǚ'ér. Nǐ shì wǒ zuì hǎo de lǐwù (I love you my daughter. You are my greatest gift)" Li said as he continued to hug his daughter.
"I love you too Fùqīn (Father)" Nian said as she hugged her father and tears of happiness fell from her eyes.
As they let go of each other, Li turned to Team Phantom, Logan and Carly and said, "Thank you for finding my daughter and bringing her back to me"
"It was no trouble at all Mr Jing" Dayla said. "We're just glad everyone has been returned"
Logan had returned back to Chicago. News reports showed all the children that had been kidnapped were reunited with their families in Chicago, New York and San Francisco. Zortheus had contacted Dayla and let Team Phantom know that the cult members had been banished to the Unworld by Queen Annaya and were never to be seen again.
Jack and Maddie had returned from the Ghost Hunter's Convention that morning. Dani and Dale asked, "Hey mum, dad. How was the convention?"
"It was fantastic honey. We even got chosen to share some of the new theories on ghosts we've been working on this time" Maddie answered. Jack smiled and then asked, "So anything happened around here while we were gone kids?"
Dani, Dale, Jazz, Danny and Dayla all smiled at each other and said in unison, "Boy have we got a story to tell you"
