A Flame to Blame

After Ripjaws dealt with some criminals at a dock, Jeryl, Rick, Ginny and Frank find their way to a circus run by a fire performer named the "Bunsun Burner", much to Jeryl's's chagrin. There, Jeryl's fear of? fire comes out as they explore. They find a flamed humanoid creature show along the way, featuring a trio of flamed humanoid creatures with incredible abilities; the flame spitting Heat Breath, the muscle bound Strongflame and the agile Flamewig with the power to control her hair like strong tentacles. During Bunsun Burner's's show, Jeryl is too afraid to laugh and ends up leaving. His departure turns out to be for the best, since Bunsen Burner drains the happiness of others to sustain himself. Meanwhile, Jeryl finds the freaks robbing the town. Wildmutt is able to beat them, but can't fight Bunsen Burner because of fear. Jeryl later discovers that Bunsen Burner has kidnapped Rick to feed his hunger and has left the entire town in a near death state including Frank and Ginny.

Upgrade confronts the Flaminions using a baseball pitching machine to snipe them into submission. After Jeryl travels through a nightmare of Bunsen Burner he sees that Rick is on the brink of death. Finally conquering his fears, Jeryl transforms into Ghostfreak and smacks Bunsen Burner around, seemingly killing Bunsen Burner in the process (it's later revealed that Bunsen Burner teleported to safety).
