Okay, I know you guys were anxious to get on with the story, so I finished this chapter as soon as I could. I had already planned it out by the time I posted the last chapter anyway. So. How exactly are Dani and Wulf supposed to get Danny out of the Blood Blossom predicament when he's already fading fast and how will they get the other prisoners out of Freakshow's grasp? You can now find out. Here's chapter nine.
Chapter 9: Play with Fire, Get Burned
"Wulf?" Tucker and Sam said in unison and in surprised disbelief as the giant hairy beast pounced on top of the completely startled ringmaster. The force of the pounce pushed Freakshow onto his back, several feet away from Danny.
Wulf gnarled his hugely long teeth down at Freakshow, who looked fearfully into the face of the beast. He glanced up at Lydia for help, but she looked rather hesitant as she floated a few feet above the ground by the train, staring at the familiar beast that had her master pinned. Her glowing red eyes showed a flicker of fearful recognition from under her hood.
"Don't just float there, Lydia. Get this hairy animal…" but Freakshow stopped when he saw the young girl, who had sent the beast on him, running towards where Danny was. "Hey! Get away from there!" He shouted at her.
Danielle stopped in mid-step at the sudden protest as if someone who had just gotten caught doing something wrong. Lydia spotted what she was doing as well and before the girl-clone could take another step, the cloaked ghost glided in front of her, blocking her path to assisting her older cousin.
Lydia threw her cape back and lowered her hood, finally revealing her face to the girl. The tattooed woman's hair was a spiky, black mohawk and she had a nose ring and multiple ear piercing. Danielle couldn't help but feel a bit discussed at the ghost-woman's grotesque appearance. The full body of tattoos was bad enough, but she would have preferred that she kept her hood up.
Lydia extended her arms out as her green tattoos separated from her skin and shot right at the young girl with their usual wicked sounds and malevolent laughter. They hit the girl right in the chest all at once and forced her backwards several feet and onto the ground. Before she could recover from this attack, the spectral pests started swarming around her like before. Danielle still couldn't Go Ghost or even turn properly intangible to escape them. But with a few self-defense techniques enhanced with secret, ectoplasmic explosions from her hands, she was able to keep them away from her. However, having gone through this once before back in the cave, she knew that without her full strength back, she wouldn't be able to hold out for long.
Seeing his young friend being attacked, Wulf got off of Freakshow and went at his ghostly assistant tackling her from behind. The force of it carried both of the ghosts right over Danielle who was still on the ground. Wulf rolled as he hit the ground several feet behind the girl and letting go of Lydia who flew a few feet further away. Now turning her attention to the ghostly canine, she recalled her tattoo minions away from Danielle and sent them all after him. Lydia was no longer afraid of the giant dog, now that she's battled with him before, but Wulf was still a ferocious fighter, thus evening out the score.
Danielle took advantage of the cloaked ghost's averted attention, and as the two engaged in an all out, head-to-head battle, she quickly ran towards Danny again.
The clone hybrid was just about to the circle of Blood Blossoms when she was suddenly grabbed by the arm and yanked away by Freakshow. Wrapping his arm around her neck, he held up a burning stick within her eyesight that he must have gotten from the fire pit when Wulf had let him up.
Danielle tried to pull the man's strong arm off of her, as he said, "Nice try, girl. But you and your pet will not be robbing me of my vengeance." Then he held the torch closer to her face.
Just as the girl felt the rush of heat blowing on her skin, she stamped on the man's foot, and elbowed him in the stomach, knocking the wind out of him. The counter-attack caused him to drop the flaming stick, and loosen his grip around his victim.
After freeing herself of the ringmaster's hold, the young girl faced her cousin's foe, and grabbed him by the collar of his dark coat. She then rolled backwards, onto the dry, grassy ground and used her foot to toss him right over her body. She used as much of her enhanced ghost-strength as she could bring out to throw the evil man as far behind her as possible. Her effort paid off, for he landed head first and hard in an empty cage-car of the train that seemed to have been left open.
Just after he landed on the floor of the train car, Danielle got up from the ground and rushed over to the cage he was thrown in. "And you're not robbing a family of the person you just so happen to want to take your vengeance on." She said forcefully, as she slammed the cage-gate shut, and it automatically locked the clown-faced man inside.
Danny's friends and family looked at the girl, stunned. Sam looked over at Tucker with an equally surprised but confused look, asking and indicating the mid-teenager, "Um…do we know this kid?"
"I don't think so, but she totally rocks." Tucker responded, smiling and looking rather impressed.
But the admiration of the unknown teen's performance by all was cut short by Jazz. "Oh no. Danny!" She suddenly shouted from her own cage.
Danielle turned towards Danny in hearing the urgency in his sister's voice, and gasped to see that the torch Freakshow had accidentally dropped had set the dry grass underneath it on fire, right next to where Danny's now limp figure was bound to the wooden post.
The flames extended fast to the circle of Blood Blossoms and the red flowers themselves soon caught fire.
"No! My Blood Blossoms!" Freakshow cried from the cage he was now locked in.
"Well that's what you get for playing with fire, huh?" Danielle said to him, angrily. It was Danny she was concerned about and not the ringmaster's precious flowers. She once again sped over to the ring of Blood Blossoms.
The flames were spreading quickly and even though they were destroying the Blood Blossoms, the flames climbed higher and were moving dangerously close to Danny as well.
Danielle reached the circle, but when she tried to step through the vapor-wall, it stopped her as if it were made of brick and stung her the way it was already doing to Danny. She was forced back and she fell to the ground from the sudden rush of pain. Moaning a bit, she sat up, shaking her head to clear it.
Well, this was perfect. Even in her human form and a lot of her ghost powers depleted, she still couldn't get through to help her cousin without killing herself as well.
Danielle didn't know if a ghost could be destroyed by fire, but considering Danny was only half-ghost, the spectral cuffs neutralized his powers, and the Blood Blossoms had already weakened him extensively, there as little chance that he was going to be able to survive a burning.
Freakshow must have realized this too, because he started laughing hysterically from the cage. His destructive anti-ghost remedy may be going, but they had already done enough of a number on the ghost-boy that the fire would simply finish the job. It wasn't the exact 1600's Salem custom that he wanted to use to finish his ghostly enemy, but he was finished just the same with the way accused witches were punished back in the Witch Trials. Freakshow laid his head back and watched pleasurably as the world's ghost hero disappeared behind the growing flames.
"NO!"
"Danny!"
"Somebody, do something!"
His loved ones called out from their cages.
Danielle stood up and backed away from the flames, watching helplessly as they continued to grow bigger and spread more quickly. By now, the Blood Blossoms were destroyed, but Danielle still couldn't go intangible and remain in that state long enough to save her still dying cousin.
Wulf had seen what was happening while still fighting Lydia. With a thunderous roar, he slashed down the remainder of her little minions and threw the cloaked woman back as well.
Danielle watched in shock as her canine ghost-friend then charged on all fours straight at the burning area with another load roar. Everyone gasped in horror as he leaped right into the heart of the blazing inferno.
The flames had become so thick, no one could see what was happening inside. Everyone stood by, watching with growing anxiety. No one could tell what was happening inside the fire and they couldn't hear anything over the roar of the huge flames.
A few seconds passed that seemed like several minutes and just when Danielle was starting to expect the worst, Wulf suddenly burst back out of the bonfire on the other side. In his teeth, he was carrying the limp figure of the half-ghost teenager by the collar of his black-and-white jumpsuit, as if carrying a young cub.
Danielle, Sam and Tucker all sighed in relief at the sight of the doglike specter. As Wulf gently set the boy down on his hands and knees, Danielle rushed over to both of them. As soon as she girl reached Danny's side, he collapsed the rest of the way to the ground.
The young girl knelt next to her ghost-cousin's immobile figure and gently rolled him onto his back. She gasped at the sight of his face.
He was covered with severe burns and ash, and his clothes were letting off smoke where they had nearly caught fire. His eyes were closed and aside from his coughing from the smoke he had just emerged from, his breathing came in small, wheezing gasps.
Danielle inserted an arm under his neck and carefully lifted his head up from the ground. If he looked this bad on the outside, She couldn't imagine what the Blood Blossoms had done to the rest of him. Solemnly looking over her cousin's marred appearance, she removed the spectral cuffs from his wrists, which Wulf must have been able to unlink with his strong and sharp claws while in the fire.
Danielle looked up at Wulf in concern and noticed that his black fur was singed in several places. Now that she thought about it, Wulf also seemed to be a bit exhausted. She then wondered if the flames he had bravely jumped into to save a friend in peril had still been laced with what was left of the red vapor from the Blood Blossoms.
Even though Wulf was obviously still strong and functional, Danielle looked sadly at the multiple injuries of both her cousin and her dog-like friend. She couldn't help but feel that this was her fault. Had she been able to use her intangibility power properly, she could have gone in herself. Or perhaps if she didn't have any of her powers back at all, she would have registered as completely human and would have been able to pass through the flower circle without injuring herself and before the flames had spread too far.
Wulf started sniffing Danny's wounds, and when he licked one of the burns on his forearm, the teenage boy shuddered from the apparent sting the wet tongue caused and quickly pulled it away.
In seeing this reaction, Mr. Fenton called from the cage, in angered warning "Hey! You keep away from my son, ghost monster!"
"Don't worry Mr. Fenton, he's a friendly ghost." Sam quickly said, in reassurance. "It's okay."
"That isn't." Tucker put in, indicating the fire that Danielle had just remembered was still spreading. The flames were now higher than the train and had made their way towards the tracks, dangerously close to where the prisoners were. The hostages retreated to the backs of their cages, shielding their faces from the heat of the fire that drew ever nearer.
Danielle tried to think fast of what to do and looked down at her hurt cousin as his eyes seemed to flicker open, just a bit.
Turning his head in the direction where his friends and family were in danger, Danny slowly raised a shaking hand. When he seemed like he couldn't hold it up, Danielle, not knowing what he was trying to do, used her own free hand to support it for him.
He squinted as if trying to focus and aim when a blue aura appeared around his elevated hand.
A second later, a beam of blue energy shot from his palm at the base of the fire. The clone girl watched in awe as the ground around the fire froze solid. The heat of the inferno melted the icy surface but the remaining water helped to smother the flames even more. Danielle felt Danny's body tense up as he struggled to keep the icy power coming and extend it to all edges of the burning area. Before long, the fire was completely extinguished and what had already been burnt to ashes was blanketed in a moist and slushy surface.
Danielle stared in awe at what had just happened. "How did he do that?" She asked herself. But before she could think of anything else, she felt Danny's body go completely limp in her arms.
Danny had made a last exertion to keep his loved ones out of danger, even with his already extensively weakened state. He may have become so weak he could barely keep his extended arm up, but as long as his heart was still beating, he was determined that he was not going to allow any harm to come to the people he most cared for.
Danielle felt her admiration for him grow even more as she thought of the noble effort her cousin always put in to protect the needing.
But the time of appreciation would have to wait. In seeing Danny going unconscious, his relatives concern for him grew even more. "You've got to get him out of here. Now." Tucker said to the girl urgently through the bars.
Danielle looked up at the teenage mayor, somewhat surprised. "But what about you guys?"
"Worry about him." Sam argued, indicating Danny. "He needs help."
Looking back down at Danny's motionless form, Danielle knew that they were right.
Tucker started speaking to Wulf in some weird language and Wulf nodded in acknowledgment. "Wait. So you know his language?" Danielle asked in surprise.
"Nevermind that." Jazz argued, though she seemed as perplexed as Danielle was that Tucker could talk to this ghost-beast. "Just get Danny away from here. Away from Freakshow."
"You will do no such thing." Said a forceful voice behind them. Danielle looked behind her to see Freakshow, standing a few yards away, holding a ring of keys that he must have used to get out of the cage she had locked him in.
The Fentons looked at the young girl who was still holding their son in her arms, expecting to see her surprised and maybe even a little scared, but she presented them with yet another surprise. She raised an eyebrow at the keys and said skeptically to the ringmaster, "Um…if you had those the whole time, why didn't you just unlock yourself before?"
Freakshow ignored the question and put the keys inside his coat. "Now give back the boy." He demanded.
Danielle allowed Wulf to scoop Danny's unconscious form into his massive front paws and she stood up, facing Freakshow, and stepping forward defiantly. "Make me." She said softly but with much determination.
"Or perhaps 'make someone else make you'?" The ringmaster said, repeating the girl's exact words. He snapped his fingers and Lydia suddenly phased through the ground in front of the teenage girl.
Danielle stepped backward from the unexpected appearance, but she was ready for her this time. Before the woman could send out her mobile body art again, Danielle leapt at her and yanked the ghost's hood down in front of her face so she couldn't see.
Immediately after, the young girl grabbed the ghost woman by the collar of her cape and swung her around, throwing her at the train and the two cage-cars that held Freakshow's prisoners. The cloaked ghost hit the place where the lock on one of the cages was and the Ghost Trap that Danny had originally been kept inside was triggered.
"Whoa. What the…" Danielle exclaimed, surprised at what just happened. She watched, wide eyed for a second as the cloaked ghost pounded angrily on the walls of the dome and even rammed into them as if trying to phase through them.
The young girl laughed when she realized that Lydia was stuck in the blue energy dome. "What a lucky break." She said, folding her arms. "I didn't even know that was there."
She smiled mockingly at Freakshow, who looked stunned at first at the fact that this little girl had just defeated his ghost counterpart. But then his expression changed to a hateful one and he suddenly lunged at her.
Danielle just dodged most of herself out of the way and turned the rest of herself that couldn't make it intangible.
Freakshow flew right passed her and fell flat on his face on the black, cold, and wet ground that was the result of Danny's ice power putting the fire out. The ringmaster got up on his hands and knees, finding his whole front drenched from the ground. His captives laughed at his disgusted look as he tried to shake some excess slush and damp ash off of him.
Danielle quickly concealed something behind her back before he turned his head to look menacingly at her.
He growled at the girl who had successfully defied him several times now, through gritted teeth, but the ghost-girl simply scoffed, shaking her head at the ringmaster's expression. "Please. Wulf can do way better than that." And Wulf did. He made his own growl at Freakshow, who instantly scooted away in fear of the beast.
Everyone laughed again at this reaction and while their captor was preoccupied with the frightening distraction, Danielle took the chance to quickly toss something through the bars of the cage that Danny's family occupied. His sister was the one who caught it before the ghostly teenager rushed over to Wulf. He had already bent down for her to mount and had laid Danny across his broad shoulders.
"No, get back here." Freakshow protested angrily as the ghost-girl climbed onto the big dog's back behind where Danny was carefully placed. He stood up, dripping with dark water as Danielle looked down at him from her perch. "Unless you return that boy, I've got some plans with his family." He said pointing to the cages where his hostages were being held.
At this, Danielle hesitated. She couldn't just give Danny back to the man who was going to kill him, but she couldn't just leave his loved ones in the hands of possibly the same fate.
But as she tried thinking this through, Jazz just started laughing. "Plans? Like what?" she said to Freakshow. "Making weird clown-faces at us? Or maybe slopping us with that muck you're already covered in?"
Danielle was a bit surprised at this reaction of Danny's sister's, but when she looked back at Freakshow for an explanation, he was just looking to the side as if seeking an answer, himself. Jazz then directed her speech to the girl on the ghost-dog's back. "Trust me. It's happened before. When it comes to interrogation of the people he's only using as leverage, he's hopeless." She said this, shaking her head with a smile and folding her arms (also hiding the thing Danielle had tossed to her just now.)
With this reassurance, Danielle looked back down at Freakshow, smiling. "Well then, in that case, I'll just take my leave." She said to him with a mocking bow from on the back of her hairy friend.
"No!" Freakshow ran at them, but Wulf snapped his powerful jaws at the man and he fell backwards into the wet, blackened area again in fright.
Danielle took one last look at Danny's still captive loved ones. "Don't worry. We'll take care of him." She said reassuringly, putting a gentle hand on Danny who was laid in front of her. Then, hanging on to him, making sure he was on securely enough, she braced herself and Wulf sped off.
Freakshow cried out in angered frustration as he watched the giant spectral beast carry the kids far away, and fast.
This was not happening to him. He was not going to allow a child and her pet defy him of his vengeance that he was already so close to obtaining.
He quickly got up and rushed over to where the Ghost Trap had Lydia contained, pulled out the respective remote and deactivated it. Tucker looked at him with a raised eyebrow the same way Danielle had when she saw him with they keys. "Man. You really are slow with that, aren't you?" He said. For yet again, even though Freakshow had the control to unlock everything within proximity of the train, he seemed to have forgotten to use it.
Freakshow just glared at the young mayor. "Come Lydia." He said, as the dome around his ghost partner vanished. "Let us retrieve the subject of my revenge."
"You're going after them? And Wulf?" Sam said with a laugh. "You're toast."
"We'll see." Freakshow responded as Lydia put an arm around his waist. The two of them kicked off from the ground and flew after their escaping enemies.
As they flew out of sight, Mr. and Mrs. Fenton looked on in the direction their son was being carried off to safety but pursued by his foe. "Do you think he'll be all right?" Maddie asked, sounding rather worried.
"Oh, don't worry Mrs. Fenton." Tucker said with confidence.
"Yeah. That ghost-dog is a good friend of his. He'll protect him well enough." Sam put in with a reassuring nod.
"And who was that girl with the ghost-dog?" Jack asked in wonder.
"I'm not sure." Sam responded, looking off in the direction they had disappeared to. "But I wonder how she came across him. Not to mention made friends with him." Sam put a hand on her chin in thought. In addition to the question of how Wulf could have become a good acquaintance of a young human girl like that, She also couldn't help but wonder why the girl didn't seem to be able to bypass the Blood Blossoms. Humans could definitely touch them and be just fine. Unless…
"Yeah." Tucker said, interrupting her thoughts. "And you know, come to think of it, her witty banter sort of sounded like Danny's."
Like Danny's? Could it be that that girl was his cousin?
"Well, whoever she is," Jazz began. "She's really good at slight-of-hand techniques." When Tucker, Sam and her parents looked at her, expecting her to clarify, she took out the thing the girl had tossed to her before she took off with her injured brother.
None of them saw it when this happened, but when Freakshow had lunged himself at Danielle, she had secretly turned part of herself intangible. As Freakshow was coming at her, she had purposely run her insubstantial hand through his chest and grabbed his key ring as she dodged out of the way. She successfully phased it right out from his back as he was passing her on his way to the ground.
While he was face down in the wet ashes and being laughed at, Danielle had pulled out the folded note Freakshow had previously written for Danny. She wrote a quick note of her own on the front of it, and attached it to they keys. In the next chance she got, she had tossed the key ring to Jazz.
Now Jazz presented it to the other captives, twirling the ring around on her finger with a smile.
"Wow! She really does rock!" Tucker said triumphantly, as everyone's spirits suddenly lifted at the sight of the keys.
"And now that Freakshow and his freaky ghost assistant have gone to try and get Danny back, we can all make our own escape." Jack specified.
"We'll also be able to find Danny after escaping." Jazz informed. And she took out the note Danielle had attached to it. Scribbled on the front of the folded piece of paper in hurried handwriting were the words,
Woods of Lake Eerie.
"And we can use the train to get there." Maddie said happily, after reading the note out load to everyone.
Everyone nodded in agreement as Jazz stood up, walked over to the lock of the cage, and gladly started putting the keys to use.
000000
Meanwhile, as Wulf sped on all fours with the two teenage hybrids on his back, Lydia and Freakshow were gaining on them.
Danielle had Wulf running in the direction of Amity Park to throw them off their real intention of heading back to the woods, but if she didn't find a way to lose them, the plan wouldn't work.
Wulf was fast, but he had the weight of two teenagers slowing him down and Lydia was smaller and could fly. She was now yards behind them, carrying the cruel ringmaster. If she got any closer, she would be able to send all of her tattoos after them at once and Danielle already knew that without the full extent of her powers, she'd never be able to fight them off. Wulf wouldn't be able to help either since he was busy running at his full speed.
She looked behind her to see them closing in and seeing the menacing smile on the cloaked ghost's face, Danielle just knew that she would wipe it off if her powers were as defective as hers were.
Wait a minute. Powers. Defective. The ghost-power stopping device she found at the Fenton Works lab. Danielle had been so concerned about helping Danny, she had completely forgotten about the gadget she had at her waist.
She looked behind her as Lydia and Freakshow started coming up alongside them. For some reason, Lydia wasn't sending her tattoos after them, even though they were more than close enough now. Danielle guessed that she already knew that they'd be able to catch them without using that power.
The cloaked ghost carried her master and they were now level with Wulf's mount. Freakshow reached out a hand at Danny, attempting to reclaim him, but his younger cousin was not about to let that happen.
She executed a sidekick from where she was, being careful to keep her balance on the great animal's back. The kick pushed both of the flying villains away. Now was the chance. Danielle unclipped the badly named device from her side and just as the two were closing in for another attempt to take the ghost-boy, she pointed it at Lydia. Lets see how she likes it when she can't use her powers. Danielle thought, and she pressed the fire button on the back of the gun-like device.
The girl hybrid's aim was true and it delivered a direct hit at her pursuers. The shot forced them back and the cloaked ghost accidentally dropped Freakshow who rolled as he hit the ground. Lydia, also crashed from the shock of the blast.
Just as the clown-faced ringmaster and his ghost assistant recovered from the fall, Danielle gave her signal to Wulf. Freakshow watched from his hands and knees as the trio went intangible and dove head first through the ground. "NO!" He cried out as they disappeared. "Hurry. Stop them." He ordered Lydia.
Now, Lydia sent her tattoos forth and as they reached the place where the three had phased underground, they dove. But instead of phasing after the ghosts as expected, they all crashed into a heap on the grassy surface.
Looking extremely surprised at this happening, Lydia quickly ran over to the same spot to try and dive through the ground herself. But she couldn't go intangible and she hit her face on the hard, dry ground.
Freakshow rushed over to where she was as she shook her head to clear it. "What happened?" He asked angrily. Lydia simply shrugged up at him from on her knees. It was then that he realized that the device the girl had used must have short-circuited her powers: Or at least some of them, because her tattoos seemed to still work. Nonetheless, her special power couldn't be used to continue the pursuit of his escaped captive.
Freakshow let out a shout of frustration and went down on his knees, pounding his fists on the surface where dog and his teenage passengers had disappeared, as if attempting to break through and follow. But as much as he sometimes wished he was, he was no ghost. And the ghost he had with him couldn't even use the power he needed to do such a task. Even if she could, by now they were long gone. Lydia's tattoos could be used for teleportation, but without knowing where the teenagers and their dog-friend were going, it was no use in trying it.
He eventually gave up the thought of catching them and turned to go back to his circus train. They were quite a ways away from it from chasing the ghost dog and his friends and Lydia could no longer fly. At least she still had her other means of fast transportation.
The cloaked woman released her tattoos again and they circled around her and her master and they vanished. But instead of being back at the train, Freakshow found that they were just in some other random place on the empty plains. Lydia tried again, but they just seemed to get further from the train in another place that wasn't even along the path to it. At first Freakshow just thought that his was a joke of Lydia's, but then he remembered that beam that stopped her normal powers from working. It must have also scrambled the more powerful effects of her special ability.
They would have to walk unless they wanted to accidentally end up in a swamp or something. As Freakshow reluctantly started doing so, he started to think how it could have been possible that the girl had found the train in the first place. No doubt she had assistance from that canine pet of hers. He also found it strange how she could have been that strong when she threw him into the cage. As he thought about it, he also remembered that she couldn't seem to go near the Blood Blossoms. But she was a human and Blood Blossoms don't affect humans. Could she perhaps have been…? Nah. That was ridiculous. She probably was just afraid of the fire that was already dangerously close to the person she was attempting to help.
He still couldn't believe that she was able to slip through his fingers. But he had another thought that cheered him up. Even if the girl did manage to find help for the Phantom boy, he would have to be back to retrieve his family. And when he returned, Freakshow would just have another trick waiting for him.
He smiled at this and looked up where his train could be seen at a distance. As long as he had his hostages, he still had the leverage he needed to get his revenge. As he looked at the train though, he noticed that it was in a different place than he remembered it when he first started walking. "Wait. Is my train…moving?" He asked, turning to Lydia for her opinion.
But hearing the train-whistle blow answered his question. It was moving. But how? He was the only driver of that train since his Circus Gothica show was canceled after his arrest. His prisoners must have escaped and were using it. But that wasn't possible. Unless.
He quickly reached inside his coat for his key ring…but couldn't find it. In searching the rest of his pockets, he realized that his keys were gone. "That thieving little brat!" He cried out. "She's stolen my keys!"
His hate for the girl increased even more as he watched his train speed up, faster and faster along the tracks. There was no way he would be able to catch it. Not without Lydia being able to fly or teleport properly with her tattoos. Even if they could catch them, there was little he or Lydia could do that they wouldn't expect. The Fenton's would undoubtedly have their ghost-hunting gear back that Freakshow had confiscated from them when the captured them.
He could do nothing but stand there as his chances for his revenge slipped away from him completely. Or did it. "Lydia. You can still use your tattoos." Lydia nodded in response and sent some of her bat-shaped tattoos after the train.
The last time Freakshow had escaped from jail, Lydia had used these same tattoos to monitor Danny Phantom and his friends, making sure they did what he wanted and knew when they were completed with the task.
The tattoos themselves were basically a part of the woman ghost. So wherever the train was going, Lydia would know. And if all went well, Freakshow might just have his revenge on Danny Phantom, after all.
I couldn't find any better way to end it.
To tell you the truth, I was a bit concerned about putting in the fire part, but it was the best thing I could come up with in getting Danny out of the Blood Blossom circle. I'm not exactly sure if it worked out for you readers. Let me know what you guys think in your reviews, please. And thanks for you're support when I was first posting this on my sister's account.
