**Amity*
"I remember," Sam said to herself.
"Remember what?" Tucker asked.
"Everything, the only question is what happened," Sam said thinking.
"No, there are a lot more questions than that. One who is Serene. Two, what are you talking about remembering? Three, shouldn't we follow him?" Tucker said pointing in the direction Danny flew.
"Ok Serene can wait," Sam said running to the door, "right now we need to help Danny."
"That's what I said," Tucker said to an empty room.
**Circus Gothica*
A grey hooded man stood off stage, eyes red with hypnosis, but for a moment, a flash of green made it to the shaded face. A black glove touched the shoulder of the grey fabric, the shaded face turned to the man with eyes flashing green once more.
Eyes flashed green, "Let me go!"
"I better not see any more of that, do you hear me?" Freakshow asked holding the red batted orb to the boy's face.
Eyes flashed red once more, "Yes master, to remain hidden," the grey hood said.
"Honestly, you are a lot harder to crack than most, so much spirit, so much hope…." The clown hissed.
"Hope can be broken," the gray hood called in a chilling tone.
"That is what I like to hear. Now, it's show time, get out there," the pale clown said pushing the boy out.
Freakshow smiled a wicked smile. Before following the boy out into the darkened tent. A single spot light hit the clown at center ring, cheers rang from the audience.
"Please welcome, the act that puts dead into death defining acts, the grim reaper himself!" A spot light hit the tight rope high above, to revel a single hooded man.
The hooden man quickly walked to the center of the rope with ease. Ahs and oos eliminated from the audience. The man stoped and placed his staff along the slim roap balanceing himself on the blade.
Cheers roared through out the tent.
The pale face clown walked back stage to get ready for the next act. Movement caught the man's eye, a young ravened hair girl was wondering about back stage.
"What are you doing back here?" Freakshow asked.
"Wow Freakshow, this is so cool. Focus, I'm looking for a friend who's been acting kind of strange lately," Sam called in surprise.
"Well that narrows it down to, well everyone in this tent," the man laughed.
A grey cloaked man walked in catching the attention of the two.
"What are you doing back here? Get back out there and finished your encore," Freakshow said pointing the staff out.
Eyes flashed green, the man removed the hood to reveal his snowy hair, "Sam?"
"What is that? It that free will I'm seeing? Obey me minion," the clown said bringing the staff close to the boy's face.
"Yes master," Danny said as his eyes turned red.
"Your controlling him?" Sam said with surprise.
"Get her," the man said sinisterly.
The girl screamed in fear as the hooded boy came closer. Danny grabbed both of her arms and held Sam in place, waiting for his master's command. Sam screamed and kicked in attempt to escape, but her friend was far too strong.
"You wanted to play back stage so badly girl," Freakshow said coldly, "let's see how you do in the act."
He clown wrapped a white cloth around the girl's face, and then he looked at his minion and pointed the staff out, "Finnish your encore."
The grey hooded boy walked out to the blackened stage, holding the Goth girl in place, hand muffling her cries.
The room was dark, she could see nothing only hear the sounds of movement, and bites of popcorn. A voice broke the silence, the one she recognized as the clown.
"Please welcome, a brand new victu..Talent, to the stage. Preforming her first and final act."
The sound of metal through the air filled the room, lights bright as her vision un-blurs.
There was no ground, no surface, on wire prevented the girl from falling to her death. She screamed as she tried to regain balance, the audience cheered believing it to be part of an act. No one was there to save her, the only person who could was pushing her forward.
"Danny listen, you don't want to do this, your being controlled," Sam said wobbling along the wire.
"It's not Danny anymore," the chilling voice called.
He laughed an evil laugh as her sliced the rope sending the girl to her death. Screams filled the air, all from the girl.
Eyes flashed green, "SAM!" Danny yelled flying to save her.
The boy bent over, as if in pain, holding his head.
"Danny don't scare me like that," Sam said with concern.
Eyes flashed red once again as the boy stood, "How should I scare you?"
The pale faced clown walked from behind and looked into the girl's terrified eyes, "Concerned that a warning, girl," he hissed.
Tucker ran over to his friend, "Can we take five minutes from your Gotha-whatever to look for Danny?"
"That was Danny," Sam snapped, "Under the hood. He's being controlled, we have to do something."
"What? It not like we can get the police's help. Oh hey, our friend Danny , AKA the ghost kid is being controlled by an evil ring master, can you come and help us?" Tucker said sarcastically.
"Well we can't just do nothing!" Sam pleaded.
"We can't do this alone Sam," Tucker said.
"I don't think we have to," Sam said running out of the tent.
**Ghost zone*
Green eyes flicker awake to a dark room. Her eyes were weary and tired, muscles tired and sore, she still stands. Step by step the girl walks to the doors of the room. Creaks of blinding light fill the room as the wooden door opens. Serene places her hands over her face to block the light, She licks her dry lips as she walks into the empty office. Papers remained where they laid before her sleep, but no Clockwork to be seen.
"Simon?" Serene called.
No answer, only silence.
The girl wondered the room for a moment before something caught her eye. The time orb shined a green coloring, creating an almost mirror quality. The girl starred at herself with wonder, no scares, no markings revealed on her human face. No trace of bruise remained, then she looked at her sling. She carefully slid the fabric off her shoulder, she squinted her eyes from the soreness. Serene starred at the full dress on her body, she carefully unzipped the dress partly with her good arm. The fabric softly slid off her wounded shoulder. The skin was winkled and a dark purple, four triangle like marks were indented in her arm. The skin was almost rubbery like, it was strange.
"What happened to me?" She asked herself.
A white and green floating speeder flew into the clock tower catching the girl by surprise. Two teenagers sat in the hover craft, the raven hair girl pressed a single button. A blue ray shot from the speeder surrounding Serene. She screamed as she began to be sucked into the ray.
"transport compete," the small screen said.
Sam picked up the Fenton thermos attached to the dash board.
"What did you just do?" Tucker asked in confusion.
"Got her," Sam said holding the thermos up.
"Let me out of this!" Yells came from the metal tin.
"We need your help Serene," Sam said driving away.
"That's Serene?" Tucker asked in shock.
"You already knew that," Sam said.
"No I didn't!" Tucker yelled.
"How do you know my name?" the thermos asked.
"Because were friends," Sam pleaded.
"We are not friends and I swear when I get out of here, I am going to destroy you," Serene growled.
"You got to believe me," Sam said.
"I don't think we should let her out of there," Tucker said afraid.
"I do not know you, but I will make you wish you didn't know me," Serene growled again.
"I can prove it, right now, your grinding your teeth," Sam said.
"How did you know that?" Serene asked softly.
"Because, you always grind your teeth when you're mad, I also know Clockwork is your brother, I know your one of the top four, I know you can control ghost with song, and I know," Sam paused for a moment, "I know about Fright Knight."
The speeder was silent for a moment, "Who are you?" Serene asked softly.
"I'm Sam, Sam Manson, and this is Tucker. Were your friends, please remember," Sam pleaded.
"I honestly do not know who you are, but if you know all of that about me I must trust you," Serene said.
"Good, because we need your help," Sam said letting the girl out of the thermos.
Serene stood weakly in the back of the speeder. Her eyes were drooped, her hair mixed with colors and un-brushed, wearing a green and gold gown with the shoulder on one side down, reveling her bruising marking.
"Why did you do that?" Tucker asked.
Serene stood swaying to each side, her eyes widened as she stared at the two. A smile reached her dry lips and her eyes brighten as much as they could.
"Sam," Serene smiled, "You could have just asked nicely."
"You remember!" Sam yelled with joy.
"Indeed, but I don't know how much help I am," Serene said sitting down.
"We can't do this alone," Sam said sadly.
"What exactly," Serene asked looking weakly up at the two.
"What is going on here?!" Tucker asked confused.
"Tucker, Clockwork wiped your memory, along with Danny's and the people of Amity of me," Serene said weakly.
"Why?" Tucker asked.
"That is a story for another time," Serene said, "Now, what's wrong Sam? Where is Danny?"
"That's the problem, a ring master named Freakshow came to Amity. He has some orb that controls ghost, makes them evil and stuff. Well he has Danny under his control," Sam explained.
"And you thought bringing one of the world's most powerful ghost into the situation would be a good idea?" Serene asked sarcastically.
"I just thought…" Sam said.
"Sam, what could I do? I don't have the energy to do more than the most simple of ghost abilities. And even if I could, as soon as I get near them I too will fall to his control." Serene said weakly.
"Is there anything we can do?" Tucker asked desperately.
"I may be able to regain more power from my cloak and staff," Serene said, "But even then, I would need something to block out the commands."
"Where is your stuff?" Sam asked.
"Pariah's castle," Serene said coldly.
**Amity*
Four ghosts fly from the local museum, paintings, jewels, and other fortunes. A green ray hits each of the ghosts, the shooter none other than the snowy haired hero, eyes red with blood. Golden crown placed upon the hero head.
"Get your butts in gear," he said sharply, "This party is just getting started, and I'm here to stay."
Syrians chased after the ghost boy, "Oh please," Danny laughed.
He shot an ecto ray at the tires of the cars, causing them to flip and turn.
**Pariah's castle*
The halls were bare and empty of souls. A cold chill ran from the doorways, Serene changed into her ghostly form and flew into the castle with the speeter speeder close behind her. The three made their way to the great hall, floors were torn from there placement, vines and burn marks covered the walls, the battle sight was left un touched. The two teens looked around in wonder.
"What happened here?" Tucker asked in astonishment.
"The down fall of Pariah," Serene said coldly.
"Do defeated the ghost king?" Sam asked.
"No, I defeated Pariah," Serene said looking through the rubble.
"What's the difference?" Tucker asked.
"Pariah isn't nor was ever the ghost king," Serene said continuing to dig.
"What are you talking about?" Sam asked.
"There is no ghost KING, because I am not wedded, well, theoretically there is but," Serene was cut off by Tucker.
"You're the queen of the ghost zone?" Tucker shouted.
"Not anymore," Serene said moving some rocks.
"But you tectonically were?" Sam asked.
"And tectonically Danny is king," Serene said finning what she had been looking for.
"Wait, what?" both of the teens asked.
Serene looked at the two holding her cloak, "Perhaps I've said too much..."
"Perhaps," growled.
Serene flew back into the hover craft and placed the cloak to the floor and looked at the two confused teens.
"To make a long story short," Serene took a deep breath, "Danny went back into the past, I stole Clockwork's time staff and followed him, he tried to talk to me, but the only way to talk to the princess was to win the joust, once he won, Danny became courted to me, but I, future self-tackled him, took him into the woods, to prevent him from being killed by my father, did I mention Pariah is my father? Well after that we watched my death, and I kind of lost my tempore, then I sent him forward in time to present date, while I was taken by Fright Knight, tried to escape him, almost froze to death, they captured Danny, and killed Undergrowth, I sacrificed myself for Danny, then I stabbed the knight, rallied the people of the ghost zone, started a revolution, killed my father, erased everyone's memory, and then clockwork erased mine." Serene said as quickly as she could.
Sam and Tucker just blinked at each other in dead silence.
"Should I repeat myself?" Serene asked.
"No," both of them said at the same time.
"Wait," Serene flew from the ship and to the upstairs balcony.
A blue rose grew from the wood of the castle, a single petal lay on the dirt next to the flower. Serene placed her hand to her mouth and shock her head.
"It's too soon," she thought, "There has to be something I can do."
The ship soon caught up the girl.
"What is that?" Sam asked.
"We need to go," Serene said flying into the ship, "Now."
**Amity*
The doors to the ghost portal opened wide letting the specter speeder fly into the lab. Serene looked at Sam and Tucker with worry, then back into the lab.
"I can feel the control," Serene said looking around.
"You can feel it from here?" Tucker asked.
"Go, now, leave, listen," Serene said eyes flashing red before turning green.
The young ghost girl held her head in pain and squinted her eyes. Her two friends watch with concern.
"I need, I need something to block out the commands, anything, hurry," Serene said.
The two teens looked quickly around the Fenton's lab, searching for anything that could help. A shin of metal caught Sam's eye, the Goth girl quickly picked up the ear buds and gave them to Serene.
"Will these work?" Sam asked.
"I gave Danny these to cancel out my songs, I would think so," Serene said putting the buds in.
She stood and listened for any of the voices, she looked at Sam and Tucker, and nodded. The three teens ran up the stairs and out of the house.
**Train station*
The sun had just set leaving the chill of the night to set in, the ghost girl landed near the train tracks with Sam and Tucker in arms. A crash landing was there descent, Serene pushed herself up on to her hands, balancing herself before looking around. Her gaze met that of Sam, who wore a look of concern. Serene averted her eyes to the ground, she was weak, too weak to ever carry her friends a short distance without falling. She took a heavy sigh before pushing herself up from the ground, Serene bit her lip hard to prevent herself from screaming. Her hand reached for her shoulder in attempt to sooth the pain, the two teens looked at her with a mixture of fear and worry.
"Maybe this was a mistake," Sam thought to herself watching the girl struggle.
When all three were to their feet Sam quickly walked over to her wounded friend. "Serene are you sure yo-,"
"I'm fine," Serene snapped cutting the Goth off.
"Come on," Serene said positing herself to help the two up the train's side. Sam looked around the top of the metal, looking for a way in. She noticed a small shaft that they could get through, or at least one at a time. Sam jumped in first, followed by a falling Tucker.
The Goth girl looked up at the opening, "Stay up there in case we need help," she said to the ghost.
Serene replied with a nod and closed the opening.
Gold filled the train box, paintings, jewels, riches galore. But the real treasure sat propped against the back wall, glowing a powerful red, lighting the room. Sam, without thinking ran full speed to the staff. A green ray hit the two, sending them out of the train and on the railroad. Both looked mindlessly at the dark opening as Freakshow and a red eyed Danny came forward. A whistle screeched as the metal beast began moving forward.
"Danny, no!" Sam screamed as the two ran after the train.
"Yes scream, to bad anyone who could help you is enjoying a free circus," Freakshow laughed.
The two continued to run after the increasing speed of the train.
"Where is Serene?" Tucker asked.
A green blast of ectoplasm came from behind the clown and Danny, hitting Danny in the back of the head. The red eyed ghost flipped his vision to his attacker. A hooded Serene walked out, haft way in the light of the moon, her eyes a neon green, and her teeth grinding.
"Hasn't anyone ever told you not to through people of a moving train?" Serene asked in a cold tone.
"Well what do we have here?" Freakshow asked in a sweat tone.
"You work with nightmares, you should know," Serene said firing a shot at the clown, a shot that was blocked by Danny's shield.
She took a deep breath and grabbed her side slightly. The clown noticed this and smiled a wicked smile.
"You are of no threat, if I know anything about ghost, and I believe I do, you're switching into your reserve powers. You're in no condition to fight my dear," Freakshow snarled, "but such determination will add quite a lovely addition to my circus," he said raising his staff to the girl's face.
Serene kept her composer, not even blinking at the orb.
"What, how can this be?" Freakshow asked, "No matter, you are too weak to be of anything but a pest, finish her," he said looking at Danny.
Serene's eyes widened as she dogged the first punch. A second one came just as quickly, then a kick in which Serene jumped over his leg.
"Danny, I don't want to hurt you," Serene said dogging more attacks.
"The feeling is not mutual," Danny growled darkly.
"Danny?" Serene asked with confusion at the tone of his voice.
Serene lowered her gaze and jumped on of the boy's kicks and as she floated back down she pulled down part of his tunic revealing the red markings. Serene's jaw dropped, but before she could even thing a punch hit across her face sharply. The girl was thrown across the room, hitting the metal sidings. She placed a hand on her jaw and cracked it slightly to the left.
"Since when did he hit that hard? Actually, I don't think he has ever been able to hit me," Serene thought.
Serene quickly got the her hands and knees in attempt to stand, but hot before the ghost boy fired a ectoplasm ball at her shoulder. Serene gasped in pain and held her arm for a moment, before standing up, arm limply against her side. Freakshow smiled for a moment and looked at his minion.
"You've found her weak point, now use it," He commanded.
Danny nodded at his master and looked at the weak girl with a wicked grin. Serene's eye widened for a moment, before sinking into a deadly gaze, she raised her single good arm and spread her feet shoulder length apart. Her eyes glowed a full green, lighting up the dark room. Vines grew from the floor around the girl, she looked at Danny with a deadly gaze. Taking a deep breath she sent a burst of energy through the greenery. Green rings forming around her waist, causing her to change into her human form, the human girl fell limply to the ground. The greenery flew forward in a straight line to the ghost boy; Danny readied himself for the incoming blow, when the vines took a sharp turn attacking the pale faced clown instead. Ivy and leaves covered the man and took the staff from his hand throwing it off the end of the train.
Blurs of green flew past the tracks catching the staff from crashing, Lydia floated in front of her master waiting for his approval. The pale ghost smiled and looked back at the human girl lying in the train pit.
"We need to jump," Sam yelled as the train pasted.
"Are you nuts, I can't jump?" Tucker asked.
"And I can't abandoned Danny," Sam said pushed Tucker over the edge as she followed.
The two landed on the train flatly, Sam looked at Tucker to make sure he was ok. "Plus I will never hear the end of it if my parents were right about him being evil."
Sam stood offering her hand to help Tucker up as well, "Come on, there at the other end of the train," Sam said pointing towards the end of the metal.
Serene's eye flickered slightly before opening haft way. The sounds of a steady beat filled her ears; she turned her head slightly to take count of her surroundings. She was defiantly lying on the floor, that was a given, gold and jewels blocked her general field of vision. Serene twisted slightly hearing only the sounds of metal on metal, until a laugh broke the pattern.
"Well, look who's awake," Freakshow said moving into the girl's limited sight.
"Disappointed in yourself? Couldn't stop an old clown?" Freakshow laughed.
Serene looked away, the best she could. She moved her vision enough to see the lining of white boots, a partial smile reached her lips.
"You know him don't you?" Freakshow smiled.
"….yes," Serene managed to whisper.
Freakshow grabbed the back of the girl's head and brought her up to eye leave, his face was in a growl, "Is that why you tried to stop me? To rescue your little friend?"
Serene spit into the man's eye, "Who do you think you are?" Freakshow yelled.
A full smile filled Serene's lips, "Green, please to meet you," Serene hissed.
Thumps from above interrupted there conversation. Freakshow looked at the other four ghosts floating in the train.
"What are you waiting for, go!" Freakshow yelled.
The four minions flew quickly to the top of the train, to face there intruders.
Freakshow starred back at the girl, "You may be of use to me," he hissed.
"And you may need a mint," Serene laughed slightly.
The clown ginned his teeth slightly, and looked at his staff and back down at the girl.
"Wondering why it doesn't work?" Serene asked smugly.
Freakshow raised his eyebrow.
"Maybe you need to stay out of my territory, I can be very protective," Serene said singing a single note after.
"What are you getting at gir-" Freakshow was cut off by Danny's voice from above.
"Tucker, Sam?" He asked.
The clown growled, "We will finish this later," the clown said walking out the back doors.
"I, I…." Danny's eyes flashed red once more, "am a ghost, I have no friends."
The two teens turned around to see the clown standing closely behind. "He's under my control now."
The white haired boy joined the others minions at the hands of their master and waited for commands. Sam's gazed turned to one of hopelessness, there was nothing left to do.
"That wasn't Danny, it wasn't her Danny," Sam thought.
"Maybe you should hold that thing up a little higher," Tucker smiled.
"What are you doing?" Sam whispered.
"Trust me," Tucker whispered back.
The clown lifted the glowing staff slightly higher than he had before. As the train moved a construction lift hit the red bat sending it flying towards Sam and Tucker. Both teens desperately tried to catch the staff, step by step, carful of their surroundings, careful not to fall, but still running as fast as they could backward to get control. The red hilt brushed by two of Tucker's fingers before falling closely behind the boy, into the white gloved hands of Danny.
Without thinking, Tucker said, "Nice catch dude, give me five," raising his hand for a high five, only to be met with a blast of ectoplasm, blasting him into the grasp of the strongest ghost.
Freakshow smiled, "Very good drone, now bring me my staff, come on," the clown asked making a small kissing noise.
An idea brighten up the Gothic girl's face, "Fight it Danny, he's not holding the crystal ball any more, you are! I saw you on that tight rope you were fighting him the whole time."
Two hands grabbed the girl's shoulder throwing her to the side, Sam attempted to balance herself as she fell to the edge of the train. A large drop was in view, the largest in Amity. It lead from atop the mountains to the forest below.
"Silence!" Freakshow shouted, "Obey me ghost, give me my staff, come on."
"Go, now, Obey, give it to him! Listen, Go, NOW!" Dan shouted in Danny's head.
"Fight him now Danny! You're not just a ghost, FIGHT HIM!" Sam pleaded.
"GO, NOW, LISTEN, GO ,PLEASE!" Dan continued to yell.
"Quiet! All of you, I need time to think," Danny said rubbing his head.
"Stop her now!" Freakshow commanded.
"It's the crystal ball of your friend Danny," Sam said filling her feet slipping of the edge.
As she fell Sam screamed, "I didn't mean that so literally."
Danny's eyes flashed neon green as he jumped from the train to save his friend, bring the staff with him. The screams began to fade away from the girl as Danny grew closer to her, he had figured she had passed out from the pressure. Tears ran from the boy's eye from the speed he was flying. His head screamed for him to return to his master, but his heart screams save her! Danny threw the staff and grabbed on to his friend flying up to the train once more.
Sam moved slightly in the boy's arms as he continued to fly, Danny looked down at her with relief, "I did so pretty bad stuff, didn't I?"
"Nothing you can't fix," Sam said snugging into the boy's neck.
Freakshow turned to face his former ghost minions and smiled a very fake smile. "When I said minions, it was a term of endearment, like, how, how I love my minions," Freakshow tried to lie.
The man began back up from the ghost when he hit something. The man turned to see a green hooded girl standing there smiling.
"Thank you so much for keeping several stolen planters in the train Freakshow, really kick up the energy levels, " Serene smiled.
Freakshow smiled another fake smile.
"I'd love to stay and see you get pulverize to a pulp, but unfortunately, I have work to do," Serene looked at the three ghostly figures in front of her, "I will lead you back into to your right full place in the afterlife when you are done."
Serene flew off into the nearby woods, just before Danny landed on top the train.
Danny looked at the pale clown and growled. Each of the ghost took hold of the man and flew into the train cart below.
**Manson's house, next day*
"Punishment, munnishment, but this is cruel and unusual punishment," Sam's Grandmother said pointing at the lovely pink and floral dress Sam was wearing.
"I know, but it's the only way my parents would let me with in hundred feet of Danny," Sam said.
"At least freakshow is in custody and the stole goods were returned," Danny said reading his book.
"But I feel like were forgetting something," Tucker said.
"Forgetting, oh yah, Danny, I have som-" Sam was cut off by her mother placing a letter on her book.
The letter was in an old paper, with a single green vine going down the left side.
"Sam, this letter came for you while you were out, now normally I wouldn't allow yo to read mail from no return addresses, but it was just so pretty," Pamela said walking over to the Fentons and Jeremy.
Sam open the letter very carfully and began reading the green papered letter.
Dear Sam,
I do not wish you to remind Danny of who I am, or anything of what happened.
This is for the best, Simon must have had a reason, so I will remain a secret.
There is nothing to remember, so there is nothing to forget. Live your life, and watch after Danny.
Keep him on the right path, good must concur evil. Do I make myself clear?
P.s. I have one last present for you…..
~Serene
Sam looked up confused, "one more present?" she asked herself quietly.
"Sam," Pamela called, "I don't think there's any reason for you to wear floral, in fact, black is slimming. And you are ungrounded.
"I agree," Jeremy said eyes green. "And I give you my condolence to see Danny and Tucker whenever you would like."
"Danny, you're ungrounded as well," Madi said with green eyes.
"Well ok," Jack said with brown eyes.
Tucker looked at Danny, "I didn't know you could over shadow people from a distance."
"He can't," Sam smiled.
