It was Morning at FentonWorks.

"Oh, Crud! Of all the days to oversleep!" Danny Groaned and scrubbed his hair into it's trademark mess. "Can't have Lancer keep me after on the last day of school, so..." He went ghost and flew out his window. "I'll just take the aerial route."

Jack Fenton was in the shower, and looked up and saw Danny Phantom through the window.

Jack was Shouting out the window and shook his back scrubber at Danny. "You, ghost kid! I get my hands on you, I'll tear you apart" Jack Squeezed the duck so it squeaked. "molecule by molecule!" He picked up an ecto-gun off the shower floor and fired it at Danny, who dodged and flew away.

"Which is a perfect example of why I won't be going ghost during my Fenton family vacation." Danny said.

Jack was yelling after him "Listen to me when I'm talking to you!"

"It's summer! Starting at 3:30, I don't have to listen to anyone for a long, long time." Danny grinned.

Danny flew over Amity Park Penitentiary. Inside Freakshow was in chains in an interrogation room. Guys in White Agents O and K approached from the darkness, Agent O were carrying a folder with Freakshow's name and a CLASSIFIED stamp on it.

"I hope you've enjoyed your stay with us, Freakshow." Agent K snapped.

Freakshow glared up at them, then faked fear mockingly. "Ooh, the Guys in White. Top-secret ghost catchers who can't actually catch ghosts."

Agent K clicked a button on a remote. A dark tank lit up, revealing Lydia floating unconscious inside.

"Care to revise that last statement?" Agent O said.

Freakshow was startled. "Lydia?" He scowled.

"No longer under your control." Agent K said.

Freakshow spoke coldly. "What do you want?"

Agent O looked in Freakshow's file then closed it. "Your knowledge of ghostly items. Anything you care to tell us about this?"

He clicked a remote and a panel opened up in the floor. A stand bearing a metal gauntlet with four empty slots for gemstones and a case of three gems rose out of it.

Freakshow was wide-eyed. "The Reality Gauntlet!" Freakshow Smiled innocently. "Never heard of it."

"We know how you envy ghosts." Agent K said.

"And we believe this to be an object of enough spectral power to eradicate ghosts forever. Perhaps including this one." Agent O pulled a photo of Danny Phantom out of the file.

"Ah, that Reality Gauntlet. I believe I've heard of it after all." Freakshow said.

Agent K clicked the remote, and Freakshow's manacles were released.

Freakshow rubbed his wrists. "Now then, the Reality Gauntlet." He Got up and walked around it. "Hmm, well, I don't know that much about it, but I believe these things" He pointed to the gem slots. "play a key role-may I try it on?"

"I suppose so." The agents exchanged a look. "It doesn't work anyway."

Freakshow clasped his hands. "Joy!" He picked up the Gauntlet and put it on his arm. "Each of these gems has a power." He picked up the square red stone from the case. "The red one, the Gem of Life." He set it into its slot on the Gauntlet. "It can make anything come alive. And I believe this one is the Gem of Form." He picked it up the yellow diamond-shaped stone and placed it as well. "It can transform anything into anything else...uh, so I've been told. And this" He held up the round blue stone. "is the Gem of Fantasy." He Placed it. "It can make your dreams real. These gems, if touched in the proper sequence, will allow the wearer to control all reality. But the Gauntlet is useless without its power source...which I just so happen to have right here!"

Both agents reached into their jackets as Freakshow reached into his pocket. "Freeze it, Freak!"

Freakshow pulled out a triangular orange gem, which he set in the final slot of the gauntlet. It and then the Gem of Form began to glow.

Freakshow Raised the now red-glowing Gauntlet. "Have a little taste of the Gem of Life!"

He blasted a red beam at the agents, which hit their ectoguns. The ectoguns immediately wrapped around the agents like pythons, trapping them.

"Now that's what I call living!" The Gauntlet smoked slightly and the glow retreated to just the Gem of Life. Freakshow looked down at it. "Blast! If I only knew the secrets to activate all the gems, I could control all reality. Still.." He reached into the fallen Agent O's pocket and pulled out an access card, which he put into a control panel, opening the tank containing Lydia. Lydia wakened and smiled, immediately kneeling in front of him.

Freakshow turned back to the agents as Lydia hooded up behind him. "This concludes our demonstration." The two walked away. "Now, if you'll excuse us..."

Lydia flew them both out of the penitentiary.

"What shall we do with our new-found freedom? Dinner? Movie? Make myself ringmaster of all reality?" Freakshow laughed and Lydia smiled as the Gauntlet glowed red again.
