The fight had finally ended, Freakshow laid on the ground unable to get up as Danny panted slightly over him. "Where are the gems Freakshow?" Danny questioned. Halfway through their fight Sam, Tucker and Danny had managed to unlock the full power of the reality gauntlet just as the stones of power vanished. Freakshow just laughed on his spot of the stage, in front of the whole Casper high student body and the G.I.W. "You won't be able to find them before the world is reshaped in my image!" he wheezed. Danny had shot an ecto-blast that had hit Freakshow squarely in the chest, forcing the air from his lungs and making him grunt in mild pain.
"But we hid the gems!" Sam burst out. She was clutching the book of ghostly artifacts in one arm as she glared angrily at the villain.
"You were the ones to send them away, yes, but they only appear in places of magical significance to the hider." He then burst into laughter. "The gems will only appear when they want to appear, and until you find them….THIS TOWN IS MINE TO DO WITH AS I PLEASE." He screeched. His hand glowed as the gauntlet shot a green dome out over the town. As soon as the green light touched the ground, Sam, Tucker and Danny were screaming and writhing in pain. To Danny, it almost felt like the ghost portal all over again.
"You will not be able to set foot in this town again unless you have the gems of life, form, or fantasy." Freakshow continued, slowly standing so he was looking down over the Phantom trio. A smirk was plastered on his face as two rings burst forth around Danny and transformed Phantom back into Fenton. Loud gasps were heard in the crowd and people struggled to get to their hero turned zero.
"Ah, ah, ah." Freakshow admonished wagging his finger as if to taunt naughty children. "I am the ringmaster of this town now and you will all do as I SAY." He thrust his hands out over the crowd and forced their bodies to calmly sit back down on the bleachers, even as their eyes screamed at their bodies to move.
"You fruit loop!" Danny screamed even as he curled tighter into a ball next to his friends to try to stave off the pain. "A world in your image would be a nightmare." He grit out through clenched teeth.
"Ah, well, that's the problem." Freakshow said calmly, stepping over his adversaries and towards his ghostly accomplice, Lydia. "Right now, I only control this town and the people in it, except for you three, who have been touched by the gems. My power will grow larger as time passes, but I really don't see the point in waiting years to control the world when I can just have you three return the gems to me."
"What makes you think we would do that?" Tucker panted, like Sam and Danny curled on his side and glaring at the demented ringmaster.
"Because, if you don't, I will make the townspeople kill you and your families. I am going to win either way, children. The only question is… will your families be alive for my conquest?" Freakshow laughed as he and Lydia disappear into a storm of tattoos. The spell on the sitting students and the government agents broke and everyone rushed the three teens passed out on the ground.
It was eerily silent in the stadium. No one could believe what happened. Danny, Sam, and Tucker, the three biggest social outcasts in Casper High, if not Amity Park (besides the Fenton parents) were on the ground passed out and, from the looks of it, still in pain. Sweat trickled down their faces as moans and groans were escaping from their mouths. The first to react was, surprisingly enough, Dash. He stood and ran down from the bleachers to the fallen trio and immediately swept Danny into his arms in a rough bridal carry. Haphazardly making sure he didn't break the boy, he yelled to the Casper High football team.
"Come on, guys! We have to get them out of this weird ghost shield." Dash's words spurred the other jocks into action and soon Tucker and Sam were cradled in the arms of their very own muscle-bound A-listers. Teachers and students alike were racing their cars. News of the attack was spreading through Amity like wildfire, as students called their families in and out of town, soon realizing that communication through the dome led to static. Paulina nearly shed a tear when she realized that she couldn't post or load new content on her social media apps, as the server was not kept in Amity Park.
The entire town showed up when the A-listers literally threw the trio outside the dome when they figured they couldn't pass through it. The three landed in a heap, but it looked like they weren't in that much pain now. Tucker woke first, being at the bottom of the pile of friends and pushed and struggled until he could finally breath again, his struggle waking Sam who, in turn tried to wake Danny.
"Danny?... DAnny? DANNY?" A familiar voice called to him as his shoulder was roughly shaken. The pain that had wracked his body was gone as if it had never been there and his head was slowly clearing. To his right was the welcome sign to his hometown and over him were Sam and Tucker.
"What happened?" Danny asked, wincing at the volume of his own voice in his ears.
"We passed out, dude." Tucker explained. "Freakshow had us kicked out of town to look for the gems."
"That's not all," Sam said, picking up where Tucker left off. "The town is covered with some kind of shield, no one but us can pass through it. But if we try to go back into Amity, we are hit with pain until we pass out." By now Danny had managed to open his eyes and look around. Behind the welcome sign stood what looked like the entire townspeople.
"Hey Fenturd!" Dash shouted. "None of us can leave this place, so you and your lame-o buddies need to find those gems and get us out of here."
"Yeah" and "You can do it ghost boy!" were shouted from the crowd as everyone there clamored to get in a word of encouragement. It was safe to say that everyone knew about Danny's secret identity now. Even his parents were in the crowd of townspeople.
"Don't worry, sweetie!" Maddie Fenton shouted. "We'll find a way to break this shield," Jack continued and the Fenton parents shouted to their son in unison, "we still love you!" It was enough to bring tears to his eyes. Even the Guys in White agents were encouraging him in their own way, with promises of painful experiments if he didn't get them out of there, quick!
"How are we supposed to find the gems?" Danny asked, he wasn't talking to anyone particular but the entire populace at the dome grew quiet. Sam and Tucker looked at the ground and shook their heads.
"The book says that we hid the gems, but they were supposed to go to the places we thought of when hiding them. I was thinking about Gothapalooza in the Nevada Desert." Sam said.
"And I was thinking about the comic convention." Tucker added, smiling lightly.
"And I was thinking about the space center. Freakshow said that these gems would only be in place of magical significance to us, though, not necessarily where we were thinking of." Danny mused. It was at that moment that a bag full of supplies and anti-ghost weapons landed at their feet. The trio looked up to see each of their parents smirking at them from behind the green dome.
"We thought you guys might need something to search for and defend yourselves with while you get those gems." Jack and Maddie Fenton said to their son and his friends.
"Inside, you will find a credit card in your name, Sammi. No limit." Jeremy and Pamela Manson butted in.
"And we packed some food to keep your hopes up while you look." Maurice and Angela Foley finished. The three teenagers smiled and grabbed the bags in front of them.
"Thanks mom and dad!" Danny and Tucker said while Sam just waved at her parents.
"No problem kids, now go get those gems and get us out of here!" Jack answered.
Danny powered up the gem finder (how his parents found time to make it, or even knew how to track magical gems Danny would never know) and waited for the machine to boot up and show Team Phantom their first destination.
First location: Gem of life… London, England.
With one last look at their hometown, the trio turned and headed off to a magically significant place in Danny's life.
Activation time estimated….. 4 months.
