Freakshow came to loom over them, wearing the Gauntlet. The power gem was blinking. "Well, well. Look what the bats dragged in...with my Reality Gems!" Freakshow rubbed his hands together.

Danny glanced at the thermos, then standing up and starting to open it, determined. "I don't think so." Some of Lydia's tattoos snatched it from his hands and he tried ineffectively to catch it. "What? Ah!" They dropped it into Freakshow's hand. "Oh, no."

Another tattoo creature wrapped around the trio, binding them together helplessly. Freakshow opened the Fenton Thermos, poured the gems into his hand, and tossed the thermos away.

As he placed each one into the Gauntlet, Freakshow continued. "The Gem of Life...the Gem of Form...the Gem of Fantasy...and put them with a power source, and thanks to you," Freakshow tapped his head. "I now know how to activate the Gauntlet!" He laughed, then started tapping out the sequence.

"Danny, stop him!' Kurai tried to transform but failed.

Danny struggled. "I can't break free!"

Freakshow completed the sequence. "Thanks to you, I am now ringmaster of all reality!" Fireworks went off behind him as he rose up on a pedestal, now wearing a more elaborate hat and coat and wielding a red-gemmed scepter. He waved the Gauntlet, and the sunny sky turns into a starry night. "Neato, huh?" Freakshow Laughed, he glanced over at the trio's families, still locked in their cages.

Danny should angrily. "Let 'em go, Freakshow! I brought you the gems. We had a deal!"

Freakshow walked over to the trio. "The deal was, bring me the gems if you want to see them alive again. Well," He gesturied. "here they are: alive-for now." Freakshow Laughed.

The Gauntlet glows red, and the Fentons, Foleys, and Mansons vanish. Freakshow then gestured to Tucker, who also vanished. All of them reappear in a car on a giant roller coaster, which seemed to have appeared spontaneously. We see that there are lethal barriers along the ride, a fire-breathing Jack-in-the-Box and two giant stone mallets that crash together over the track; and the track ends at 'Deadman's Drop', a dead end with a pool of bubbling, steaming green something-or-other at the base of the fall. Lydia threw a lever, and the roller coaster car begins to move. Its unwilling passengers scream as the car raced down the track.

Kurai and Danny were still bound and furious. You lied to us!"

Freakshow looked at Danny and Kurai over his shoulder] Yes, yes I did. Goody for me." Freakshow turned. "But it wouldn't be drama if I didn't give you a sporting chance."

Smiling, he raises the Gauntlet, making Danny and Kurai's bindings disappear in a red flash. Danny looks down at his fists, then up at Freakshow as he bent down to his face level.

"And an audience!" Freakshow said.

There were vast stands where an audience of thousands was seated, a giant screen above the stands displaying video of Danny looking around. The stands were full of cheering fans.

Danny and Khione turned to the roller coaster, where their friends and their families were screaming through a loop. Freakshow gestures expansively as Danny and Khione launched himself into the air toward the coaster.

"Ladies and gentlemen, freaks of all ages," Freakshow's scepter turned into a microphone. "may I direct your attention to the center ring-" Freakshow gestured.

Danny flew as fast as he can toward the roller coaster, a look of grim determination on his face.

"-where Danny Phantom, AKA Danny Fenton, and Khione, AKA Kurai will attempt to rescue their friends and family from a ghastly doom of my own construction!"

Danny landed on the track a ways ahead of the coaster car but is immediately hit by a beam of gold light which transforms him into immobile orange gelatin.

"Hey, what did you do to Danny?" Khione shouted.

The coaster car hit him and splattered him everywhere.

"Only to be stopped at every turn by the master of all reality." Freakshow took off his hat and bowed.

Khione was horrified. "DANNY!"

"It can't be!" Tucker said.

Jack screamed. "NOOOO!"

"Danny! No" Maddie lunged;Jack grabbed her before she can fall out of the car and she let him pull her back to him, crying.

The globs of orange gelatin that were Danny splatted to the ground.

Freakshow held a hand up to his ear. "What's that? You want more?"

The clowns in the audience cheered enthusiastically.

"Well, since you insist, I'll give you more. Much more!" Freakshow said.

He blasted a red beam of light into the sky, which pulsed out in expanding rings. As the rings of light moved outward, nearby grain turned into snapping carnivorous plants, a tractor transformed into a tiny car from which several clowns emerge, a scarecrow turned into another clown, a barn turned into a circus tent, the heads of Mount Rushmore all turn into Freakshow's head, the Golden Gate bridge turned into a roller coaster, the Capitol Building turned into another circus tent, and the Washington Monument turned into a hammer game.

"It's all mine now. My revenge, your nightmare." Freakshow said. "There! A kingdom fit for a freak, and a freakdom fit for a king."
