School Library
Aelita and Jazz walked out of the library carrying a few books.
"I don't see why you need all these books for a theory for a college you haven't even attended." said Aelita,
"It never hurts to be prepared and besides with Danny and the others checking out that Ecto Promethium we need to relax and get some reading done." said Jazz.
Suddenly a beeping was heard and Aelita took out her laptop.
"It can't be. Jazz, we need to get down to the subway station now!" said Aelita,
"Why? What's wrong?" asked Jazz.
"I'll explain on the way." said Aelita.
They ran down the streets and hurried as fast as they could.
Subway station
They looked to see Vlad standing in front of two cloaked figures. One was tall while the other looked it had a camel's lump on its back. Vlad took out a large stack of money and handed it to them. Aelita and Jazz watched from the distance and Aelita took out her cell phone.
Junkyard
"This is a small vile containing Ecto Promethium I got from Damon's lab. Danny I want you to go ghost and blast it when I throw it." said Yumi.
Danny nodded and turned into ghost form and Yumi threw it at a junk pile and Danny blasted it. It caused a large explosion that rocked the ground.
"It's seems to be very unstable." said Yumi,
"You think?" asked Odd.
"I doubt the government would be stupid enough to use this." said Ulrich,
"I wouldn't bet against it." said Danny.
Yumi's cell phone started ringing and she turned it on.
"Hello?" asked Yumi,
"Yumi, its Aelita. Jazz and I found that transmitter Danny gave to Star when she was Ember's control. Someone tagged it on Vlad and we just saw him some weird guys a big stack of cash." said Aelita on the phone.
"Vlad? What's he buying? How did he get the transmitter?" asked Yumi,
"We're not sure. Wait, those two guys have just got onto the northbound train. We're tailing them. Oh no! Yumi get help now! These are not like any ghosts we have encountered before." said Aelita.
She hung up and Yumi looked at her phone and looked at the others.
"Danny, you need to get to the northbound train. Jazz and Aelita are in trouble." said Yumi,
"What's going on?" asked Danny.
"I'll explain on the way." said Yumi.
Flashback
A bald man carrying a staff with a red orb walked into the room on his train.
"I am finally free of that infernal prison and now I can resume my role as the Ringmaster. But so much to do so little time." said the man
Freakshow suddenly heard a glass break and turned to the window.
"Who's there?" asked Freakshow.
He walked over to the window and saw a vile labeled 'Amity Chemical'. His eyes widened as the vile glowed green. He inspected it and noticed the plant in his room. He walked over to hit and opened the vile.
He let out a small drop and the plant started to glow green and a face appeared.
"I am Undergrowth! The ghost of plants and father of all habitation!" said the ghost,
"Well, than I am Freakshow the Ringmaster of Circus Gothica and right now I believe we can help each other." said Freakshow.
The man smiled evilly.
The Train
Danny landed on top of the moving and flew forward but suddenly several ghosts appeared. Some where plant like creatures with humanoid bodies while others were dressed like circus freaks. The plant lunged and grabbed him and rammed him into the train roof. Danny quickly broke free and froze the plant ghosts and avoided the circus ghosts as they lunged at him.
He punched and kicked them and they retreated.
"Circus freaks and plant ghosts? Not good." said Danny.
Danny flew from roof to roof until he reached the car holding Jazz and Aelita. As he walked forward he noticed a large scorpion tail pierce the wall and retracted inside the car. He blasted the door opened and noticed the two cloaked figures trying to grab the girls.
"Get away from them!" said Danny.
They looked at him and went intangible to fly through the wall. Danny flew after them and one of the ghosts pulled out a staff with a paint brush on the top of it. The pain flew out of the brush and shaped itself into a car. The figures jumped into the car and drove off.
Danny flew after them and launched ecto blasts after them. The car released strange flowers that exploded on contact. Danny quickly shielded himself from the blast and continued to follow them. The car made sharp turns and launched plant bombs but Danny quickly avoided them and used his ice rays to freeze the tires.
The car made a swift turn and fell over into the ditch. Danny looked at the car as hit the tree and fell upside down. There was a small fire and Danny noticed something fall out. Aelita landed on the ground with Jazz. Danny looked found the object was an apple.
"This is weird. Ember last had the transmitter so how does she fit into this?" asked Danny,
"I don't know. She was nowhere in sight. Just the transmitter you gave her." said Aelita.
"From the looks of those thugs on the train. I would have to say Freakshow and Undergrowth were behind this. Maybe Ember placed the transmitter to lead us to them. But why?" asked Danny.
Fenton Ops
Aelita typed on the computer to locate the transmitter and soon found it.
"Whoa!" said a voice.
"You find something, Yumi?" asked Ulrich.
"Yes." said Yumi.
They looked to see a ghost plant inside the apple sticking its roots out.
"That's gross." said Tucker,
"You think it could survive inside a human stomach?" asked Sam.
"It's got a pretty thick hide but . . ." said Yumi,
"Sam, you're not trying to say Vlad ate . . ." said Danny.
"Don't finish that sentence, Danny." said Danielle,
"He's gone to what's left of Amity Chemical." said Aelita.
"Right, Dani I need you to figure out what Ember's role is in all of this. I'm going after Mayor Fruit Loop." said Danny,
"And I'm coming too." said Odd.
"Don't forget about me." said Sam.
