(A black train was approaching Ponyville.)

???: "It's time to give these ponies a show they will never forget."

(The Crystal Staff he was holding, the ball began to glow, revealing a face.)

(He had 4 other ghosts with him. 1 was a dwarf sized ghost, 1 was a muscled ghost, 1 was a acrobatic ghost, and the last one was a hooded ghost.)

???: "Minions, when we arrive, prepare to ready yourselves."

(They nodded and went into costume.)


(Back in Ponyville.....)

"Tell me again why we are going to see this "Circus Gothica"?"

Rainbow: "I heard it was a place for awesome tricks and stunts. And they aren't even pony!"

"Wait.... Not pony?"

Twilight: "Yes. They are dimensional travelers that put on a show."

"Makes sense then."

(The trains arrives and a door opens, the man with a crystal ball staff came out. His crystal ball glowing.)

???: "I am Freakshow and welcome to Circus Gothica! Come join us to the dark side."

(I looked at the staff and that was when I felt it..... I felt..... evil, surging through my very being. The swirling in the ball filled my eyes. Twilight noticed this and began to shake me.)

Twilight: "Danny, you alright?"

(I snapped out of it, feeling a little ditzy.) "Yeah, I was thinking about how awesome Circus Gothica can be."

(At the end of it, we began to walk home. Rainbow wouldn't stop talking about it and I smirk a bit daredevilish, something about that place made me feel...... dark and dangerously daring.)


(Twilight got home and when she came in, she saw Spike talking to a hooded pony. Spike looks at Twilight and waves to her.)

Spike: "Twilight, this is Trixie! She's Princess Luna's new protégé."

(Trixie looks at Twilight and took off her hood.)

Twilight: "Its a pleasure to meet you Trixie."

Trixie: "Likewise Miss Sparkle. From what I heard, you are Princess Celestia's protégé. So, this is like a bondage between Protégés."

(Twilight and Trixie shook their hooves.)

Twilight: "Why did Princess Luna send you here?"

Trixie: "Oh, I am suppose to meet with my mentor's son for some ritual."

Twilight: "Oh yes, the fusion ritual."

Trixie: "What's the Fusion Ritual?"

Spike: "It's a special that allows you to access to a new arsenal for yourself and no pony can do. We consider it a blessing."

Trixie: "Who's we?"

Twilight: "The other Mane 6, Spike, and Princess Celestia so far. You are going to have this new power, but heed my warning. If Danny sees you unworthy to wield the power, don't argue. You have to prove you are ready for it."

Trixie: "I understand."


(The next day....)

(Twilight, Trixie, and Rainbow went to my house and knocked, only for the door to open. They panicked and went inside. They searched around the house but found no one. That was when Trixie found a book, opened with a message on it.)

Trixie: "I found something!"

(Twilight and Rainbow came over and Twilight picked up the book and read the title of the page.)

[Twilight's Reading]

Crystal Ball Staff.

The Crystal Ball Staff works like a hypnotic spell and it is extremely powerful, capable of placing ghosts from a mere glance into a trance-like state as slaves. Even just looking at it is enough to put ghosts under it's control. Once Ghosts are under the influence, the user can control them and the ghosts are forced against their will to obey.

Rainbow: "What does this have to do anything with Danny?"

Twilight: "Let me read the note."

Note: This tool is a heirloom to the Showenhower family on Earth. However, put Frederich Isak Showenhower divided and put certain parts together and you will find where I am now. Hurry, I'll need your help.

Rainbow: "What does that mean!? Ugh, he speaking in riddle!"

Trixie: "Wait.... He wants us to take the name of Frederich Isak Showenhower and put certain parts together."

(Trixie takes the note and began to fold it where the giant words of the name was. After 10 minutes, they were growing impatient and Trixie was at a lost. She got a idea and bend some parts and she got a new that made her gasp.)

Trixie: "Frederich Isak Showenhower is actually Freakshow!"

Rainbow and Twilight: "WHAT!?!"

Twilight: "But that means-"

Rainbow: "He went to Circus Gothica! Freakshow has him under a spell!"

Trixie: "How is that possible. The staff works only on Ghosts."

Twilight: "Danny is a Halfa. Half Pony/Half Ghost! I believe his ghost side got under the influence and Freakshow is going to use it for his show!"

(They separated to get their friends.)


(Later....)

(The Mane 6, Spike, and Trixie were at the Circus now.)

Rarity: "Why would Danny go in there?"

Rainbow: "We discovered that the ringmaster uses ghosts as part of his show. So, because Danny is a halfa-"

Fluttershy: "He is being used by Freakshow...."

Trixie: "We must hurry, he needs our help."

(The Mane 6 scattered. Rainbow, Twilight, and Fluttershy went Backstage. The others went to the audience section. They watch the show to keep and eye on the performers. They was when Group 1 found a hooded pony there with a Scythe. The Reaper looks at them and Fluttershy eeped but then the reaper un-hooded himself, revealing Danny there. His eyes were green.)

"Rainbow? Twilight? Fluttershy? I guess you figured out my riddle."

Rainbow: "Seriously dude, why did you tell use in riddle?"

(Before I could reply, Freakshow came around.)

Freakshow: "Hey, what are you 3 doing here!?"

Rainbow: "We are here to..... search for a friend."

Freakshow: (Looks at Danny and noticed his eyes green) "What's that? Was that---was that free will?!?" (holds staff higher) "Obey me, minion!"

(My eyes turned Blood Red and I looked at them, grinning evilly.)

Twilight: "Danny! Don't do this!"

Freakshow: "Get them."

(I lifted the scythe and they screamed and blacked out.)


Trixie: "Ugh, we can't find him-"

(The Spotlight lights up and they see Freakshow in the center ring.)

Freakshow: "Please welcome a brand new vict-- talent to the high wire in her first....and final...performance." (gestures to the high hire)

(Everypony looked up and that was when the spotlight hits up there. Up there was Fluttershy, Twilight, and Rainbow (Rainbow and Fluttershy's wings tied) and they were blindfolded. They see a Reaper with a Scythe up there and raises the Scythe and cuts off their blindfolds. They looked down and almost lost balance.)

Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie: "Fluttershy!? Twilight!? Rainbow Dash!?"


(At the high wire....)

Rainbow: "Danny, don't do this."

(I raised my scythe.)

"Have a nice fall!"

(I laughed evilly and cut the wire and they began to fall. They began to scream. Twilight manages to teleport to the ground but she could only save 1 of them. That was when they see a blur coming down, following Rainbow. The hood came off the Reaper, revealing Danny! His wings flared up and his eyes were green again. He dashed down to them at blinding speeds and catches Rainbow. Twilight used her magic and catches Fluttershy. They landed and I released the ropes around their waist that bounded their wings. The others come to them.)

Rainbow: "Danny, don't scare me like that!"

(I blinked and my eyes returned to Blood Red. The others gasp at what they saw.) "How should I scare you?" (Freakshow comes over, his staff glowing and I stepped back.)

Freakshow: "Consider that a warning, girls."


(Later....)

(Twilight send a message to Princess Celestia and Luna and they came over with a battalion of guards. They went to the Circus, only to see the train leaving. They manage to get on top of the leaving train.)

Princess Luna: "Are you sure about this Miss Sparkle?"

Twilight: "Does falling from a high wire against my will makes me sure?"

(A green energy beams hits in front of them. They looked and gasp, seeing me with my Blood Red eyes, glaring at them.)

(Dark tone in my voice) "I guess you didn't get the warning right."

Rainbow: "Danny! It's us! Your Friends and Family!"

(I began to blink. My eyes kept blinking Red to Green and back again) "Rainbow....... Mom...... I.... I..."

Luna: "Yes, it's us! Come back to me son!"

(I began to shake) "I...." (My eyes turned back to Blood Red) "...Am a... Ghost. I have no friends and family!"

???: "Don't waste your breathe children and Royalty..." (They looked and see Freakshow behind Danny) "He's under my control now."

Celestia: "I DEMAND YOU RELEASE MY NEPHEW AT ONCE!!!"

Freakshow: "Ugh, what was the answer again..... Oh yeah, never! Minion!! Attack them!!"

(I grin evilly) "With Pleasure! Ghost Soldiers! To your Lord and Master's Side!!"

(2 Green Portals (1 on my left and 1 on my right) opened. Green Skeleton Ghosts came out, carrying swords.)

Celestia: "He's the Lord of the Ghost Zone!?"

"Indeed I am! Soldiers, kill them!"

(The Soldiers saluted and they charged at them. The Royal Guard Soldiers engaged the Ghost Soldiers from behind the main group. Danny looks at the main group.)

"Let's even the playing field, shall we? Johnny 13, Ember Mclaim, Skulker, and Fright Knight. Your master calls for your aid!"

(That was when 4 more ghosts came out of the portals. They recognized Johnny 13 but the other 3 were unknown to them.)

Johnny: "These ponies giving you trouble dude?"

"Indeed. Think you can take care of them?"

Ember: "Baby, we can give them a rock n' roll song."

Fright Knight: "Attack, for Lord Danny!"

(The 4 ghosts attacked them. Rainbow and Twilight vs. Johnny 13, Applejack and Pinkie Pie vs. Fright Knight, Rarity and Fluttershy vs. Skulker, and Trixie & Spike vs. Ember Mclaim. Leaving Princess Celestia and Luna vs. Danny Eclipse.)
