Kurai and Tucker run along the train cars towards the front. Inside, Freakshow and the three remaining ghosts heard their footsteps.
"What are you waiting for? GO!" Freakshow said.
The ghosts phased up in front of Kurai and Tucker, and Danny phased up behind them.
"Danny, it's us, Kurai and Tucker! You're best friends, remember?!" Kurai attempted.
Danny blinked. "Tucker? Kurai? I.. I.."
Kurai and Tucker smile hopefully.
Danny was shaking. "I...: Danny's eyes glowed. "..am a.. ghost. I have no friends."
Freakshow was now on top with them.
"Don't waste your breath, children. He's under my control now." Freakshow said.

"We owe you Fentons a debt of gratitude and an apology!" Lancer said.
"Save it for the bake sale, Lancer. We need to bust out of this tent!" Jack said.
"Leave it to me!" Lancer said. "I'll whip this angry mob of parents into a frenzy!"
Soon, the crowd exploded out of the big top.
"Saddle up the Fenton RV! We'll head those spooks off at the pass!" Jack said.

"Don't just stand there, finish them!" Freakshow said.
The train approached some scaffolding.
"Maybe you should try holding that thing up a little higher." Tucker said.
Freakshow raised staff and it was knocked out of his grasp as the train passed under the scaffolding. Tucker made a grab for it but missed and it landed in Danny's hand.
"Way to go man!" Tucker walked up to Danny, hand raised. "Now gimme five!"
Danny raised his hand and knocked Tucker away with a blast. Tucker hit the large ghost and was grabbed.
"Very good, drone. Now, bring me my staff. Come on, bring it." Freakshow made kissing noises
Danny looked uncertainly at the staff.
"Fight it Danny! He's not holding the crystal ball anymore, you are!" Kurai said. "Break it! That power belongs to you!"
Freakshow grabbed Kurai and threw her aside, causing her to nearly fall off.
"Silence! Obey me, ghost! Give me my staff. Come on. " Freakshow made kissing noises.
Danny looked uncertain again.
"I saw you up on that high wire, you were fighting him the whole time! Fight him now, Danny! You're not just a ghost! Fight him!" Kurai said. "Please! This power was meant for you!"
Danny groaned. "Quiet!" Danny held his head. "All of you! I need to think!"
Freakshow pushed her off the train.
"Danny!" Kurai screamed.
"Kurai?" Danny shattered the crystal. "KURAI!"
He leapt off the train, but he was too late—when suddenly the light from the ball struck Kurai and she transformed into Khione—only with white hair instead of blue—mid-air.
Danny flew to her and they caught in each other's arms—his eyes were green again.
"Danny.. are you okay?" Kurai said.
"I think so. It's all a blur. I did some bad stuff, didn't I?" Danny said. "Hey—you got your powers back!"
"Yeah I did." Kurai said. "You can fix what you did."
They landed back on the train.
"Good. Now maybe you can convince Tiny here to let go of me?" Tucker said.
The three ghosts' eyes also went back to normal.
"H-huh? Where are we?" Eye patched ghost said.
"Are we free? Finally free?" Dwarf ghost said.
"Only one way to find out." Danny said.
The ghosts and Danny ganged up on Freakshow, grabbed him, and phased into the train.
"Okay, uh, when I called you, er, "minions," it was really a-a term of endearment like-like "I love my minions!"" Freakshow attempted. "And obviously all honor and glory to the Ghost Princess."
Khione blasted him into the piles of gold, and Danny blasted them so they fell on top of him.
"Gah! Oh! That.. quite.. smarted.." Freakshow said.
The train pulled to a stop in front of/among police cruisers that had blocked the track.
"So, what d'ya say we stick around and explain to the cops we were being controlled by an evil ringmaster?" Danny suggested.
The ghosts phased out of the train.
"Ya know, I had a feeling that would be their answer." Danny and Khione phased out as well.
The cops busted down the door and Freakshow grinned innocently. A cop shoved Freakshow into the cruiser.
"Nice work, kids. You caught that weirdo goth punk thief red-handed!" Jack said.
"I'm just happy you're all safe!" Maurice said.
"More than safe, they're heroes!" Lancer said.
"We're so proud of you." Maddie said.

Danny, Kurai, and Tucker were all in the library, being forced to study.
"BUT YOU'RE ALL STILL GROUNDED!"
