The concert stage was set up next to Casper High. Panning over to the front of the school, there is a large banner over the doors reading "Dumpty Humpty Live Tonight". The bell rang, the doors burst open, and a crowd of shouting kids came running out to cheer around the stage. The trio walked through the door, holding folded sheets of paper.
"Finally! I've been looking forward to this summer vacation forever! The three of us, traveling together cross country seeing the sights." The paper Danny was holding was a flyer for "Space Camp in Florida". "Cape Canaveral Space Center in sunny Florida..."
Tucker was holding a flyer for the Comic Book Convention. "The Comic Book, Sci-fi and Fantasy Expo in sunny San Diego..."
Kurai was holding an Akon flyer. "And AKon in the Metro Dallas!"
"But tonight we rock out at the Dumpty Humpty concert!" Danny said.
Suddenly Jazz walked right into Danny, bonking both of their heads and making Jazz drop several books and papers.
"Jeez, Danny, watch it!" Jazz said.
"Jeez, Jazz, watch it!" Danny looked down at one of the books she's dropped in surprise, bending to pick it up. The title read 'Ghost Envy for Dimwits: Ghosts are not the Boss of Me' "Ghost Envy for Dimwits...ghosts are not the boss of me"? What is this?"
Jazz knelt to pick up her dropped papers. "My college entrance thesis on ghost envy. College might be a year and a half away but you can't be too prepared. In fact, did you know that ghosts often-"
Danny shoved the book at her. "Don't know, don't care, not listening. From now on, it's no more pencils, no more books, and no going ghost so my parents can't tear me apart" Danny gestured in illustration. "molecule by molecule."
Suddenly, people started running and screaming, and Danny's and Kurai's ghost senses went off. They looked up to see Lydia floating above the concert stage, her tattoo minions swirling around her and flying around attacking people. Kurai and Tucker screamed, and he saw that two of the tattoo creatures were flying off with them.
"Aaah, get away!" Paulina shouted. Danny started picking off the ghosts one by one. "He loves me!" He zapped another. "He loves me not." And the last one. "He loves me!"
The bat tattoos that had captured Kurai and Tucker dropped them in a trainyard and wrapped them up so they can't move. The Tattoo was keeping Kurai from using her ghost powers even; Freakshow had prepared for her.
Freakshow came to stand over them, wearing the Reality Gauntlet.
"Freakshow!" Tucker exclaimed.
"Why do you have the Reality Gauntlet?!" Kurai said, recognizing it.
"In the anemic flesh. How's tricks? Had a nice few months while I was rotting in jail because of you?" Freakshow said.
An ectoblast knocked him offscreen, and Kurai and Tucker grinned over at Danny, who had just arrived.
"Actually, yeah! I've been working on my aim!" Danny said.
Freakshow aimed a red beam of light from the Reality Gauntlet at the barbed wire security fence below Danny, which sprang up and wrapped around him, dropping to the ground.
"Hey!" Danny said.
"Danny he has the Reality Gauntlet! And he's activated the Gem of Life and Gem of Form!" Kurai shouted.
The bat covered her mouth.
"Silence Princess!" Freakshow shouted.
"Gem? Gauntlet?" Danny was confused.
The Gauntlet glowed yellow, and Freakshow shot a beam of yellow light at two nearby train cars. They reformed into two vaguely humanoid golems. Danny at first looked worried, but when the golems simply stood there unresponsively, he looked quizzically at Freakshow then popped out of the fence to go look more closely.
Danny laughed. "What are they gonna do, rust on me?"
Freakshow touched the Gem of Life. "And Freakshow said, let there be life!"
He redbeamed the golems, which activated and attacked Danny. One of them seized Danny by the jumpsuit with its teeth, shook him around, and threw him down, disoriented, at Freakshow's feet.
"Hm, that's odd. I commanded it to eat you." Freakshow Looked thoughtfully at the Gauntlet. "I need more practice."
Danny glared up at him, starting to get up, then looked to the side in alarm as the Guys in White showed up in a low hovercar. The agents stared up at the golems as they drove up, which turned to roar at them.
Kurai struggled and tried her best to break the power of the tattoo and transform, but even her powers could be trapped by Lydia.
"The Gauntlet is active. Bad news." Agent O reported.
"Very bad. When I file a report." Agent K pulled a pair of handcuffs out of his jacket. "I shall be affixing blame to you."
Agent O scowled and reached into his own jacket for handcuffs. "Not if I affix it to you first." Agent O spoke To Freakshow and his minions. "Freeze, freaks!"
"Freeze? If you insist!" Freakshow said.
He blasts a jet of yellow light and then one of red at a cloud above them, reforming it into a giant smiling monster of snow. It fell on the Guys and White and the robots, completely burying them.
"Now, where were we?" Freakshow reached down to grab Danny by the front of his jumpsuit. "I was going to ruin your life the way you ruined mine, ha!" He raised the red-glowing Gauntlet, but before he could strike; Danny knocked him to the ground with an ectoblast.
Danny was approaching "Show's over, Freak-yahh!"
Lydia phased through the ground and punched him away. Freakshow got to his feet, the Gauntlet still glowing red.
As a train engine pulled up behind him, whistling. "Looks like our little showdown is going to require a bigger audience." Freakshow cried. Lydia stepped out onto the back of the train, smirking at them. "A much bigger audience." Freakshow Laughed.
The tattoo bats trapping Tucker and Kurai released them, flying back to Lydia. Freakshow used the Gauntlet to bring the train engine to life; it sprouted a pair of bat wings and flew away, whistling. Danny, battered and scowling, walked over to his friends and looped his arms around them, ready to fly.
"Danny, what about Freakshow?" Kurai said, about to transform.
Agents O and K popped out of the snow nearby, shivering.
Danny put a hand on her shoulder, stopping her.
"Let the jerkcicles handle it. I'm on vacation. Besides, two words:" Danny said grinning. "Dumpty Humpty!"
