## Synopsis

Dan is haunted by the spirit of Gerald Harris, who his parents accidentally killed on their way home from the Waste Olympics.

## Plot

Dan and his parents are going to the stadium in Detroit, Michigan, where the Waste Olympics are being held at. Later, they move to the basketball arena for the first event, scrunched up paper ball basketball. On the way home, while having a conversation about a recent terrorist attack in Greenhill involving an ice cream truck, and not concentrating on the road, Johnny and Cheryl accidentally run over Gerald, who was crossing the road with his father and also in Detroit. Guilty about what they just done, Dan's parents drive off in a hurry, instantly believing that Gerald will be fine. However, the next day, a funeral for Gerald is being held, where Gerald's father, who survived the accident, winds up bursting in tears, even binge-chewing several Maxibon ice cream bars in sadness. Dan, feeling guilty, comes to Gerald's grave to apologize to him and leaves a Goku action figure for him as a final gift. However, after Dan walks back home, Gerald's spirit comes out of his grave and starts following him. At Dan's house, Dan sits down and yawns with his eyes closed, which was the perfect time for Gerald's spirit to go inside Dan through his mouth. When Dan grabs a can of Pepsi and starts watching TV, when he turns on the TV, it shows Gerald's face with bloodshot eyes coming towards him with every channel he tries to change to get away from him. When Gerald gets close to the TV screen, he blurts that his death was all Dan's fault, as Gerald prepares to punch the screen, Dan throws the TV remote at the TV, breaking the monitor. Gerald disappears afterwards, with the screen instantly returning to normal. Dan is in shock over what he just saw, and calls his therapist, Phillip Wyte.

At Phillip Wyte’s office, Dan tells his therapist about the events that just happened and asks him to explain why he saw an evil spirit of Gerald on his TV. As Phillip explains the solution to his situation though, at the part where he begins talking about losing someone they loved as a friend, he starts to mention Dan and his family running Gerald over and his voice segues into the same voice Gerald’s spirit used when he appeared on Dan’s TV. Dan looks at him and sees his face melting into Gerald’s spirit’s face, frightening Dan and instantly prompting him to leave his office. Dan runs away until he gets tired. Dan stops in front of a Vlokist church and enters, hoping that he can forget about the visions of Gerald with thoughts of Vlokism. Inside, Dan starts to calm down, slowly forgetting about the visions of Gerald, only for more visions of Gerald’s spirit appear in the church, causing Dan to burst out of the church and accidentally knock down a recreated portrait of Michael Vlokozu and his family.

Dan decides to get some lunch at Burger King, hoping that he won’t see visions of Gerald in the restaurant. However, when he enters, he sees more visions of everyone’s heads in place of Gerald’s spirit’s face, causing him to beat up every person in the restaurant and running out. Dan is seen running across downtown Greenhill, seeing everyone and everything turn into Gerald’s demonic face. As a result, Dan hurriedly buys some snacks and drinks from the Dollar Tree, heads back to his house, enters his bedroom, and barricades his door from the inside. He then starts seeing Gerald’s face replacing almost everything in his room, making him even more insane. Dan instantly calms down when he finds a copy of an El Kadsreian porno starring Linda Grundy and her husband, Ryu Judoku in his closet. Thinking that watching the porn might truly get rid of the visions, he pops it in the DVD player and the visions slowly begin to disappear, only for them to instantly come back when red static appears on the screen, and after 6 seconds copies of Gerald’s face begin to appear out of the TV, with every copy beginning to split in two with blood inside of them. Afterwards, Dan’s room walls, ceiling, and floor turn into intestines, causing Dan to puke in traumatization and have an aneurysm, passing out. His parents barge in and break through the barges, where they see Dan's comatose body on the floor, ignoring the fact that a porno is on his TV.

At the hospital, a nurse tells Dan's parents that Dan is in a coma and are unsure when he will wake up. Dan's mother is devastated, while Dan's father simply doesn't care as he is reading an issue of Billboard Magazine. The nurse then leaves and the camera zooms into Dan's closed eye, where he is seen slowly falling in a crimson red whirlpool. After 4 minutes and five seconds, Gerald's spirit comes out of the whirlpool and jumpscares him, tormenting him even more. Dan, having had enough, asks Gerald's spirit what he wants from him and what he has done to Gerald to deserve the endless torment, Gerald responds with, "It's not what you've done to me, or should I say, It's not what you've done to *him*!" Dan is then puzzled and a spirit comes out of Gerald, revealing himself none other to be Fate-Bringer, who Arnold had supposedly killed in the Christmas special, It's The Season. Fate-Bringer explains that after Arnold killed his spirit, he was reborn as a "Sub-spirit", which are ghosts of deceased spirits from the spirit world, and in order for a sub-spirit to become spirits again, they have to posses another spirit or a recently deceased person. When Fate-Bringer was flying around Greenhill, he saw Gerald's spirit begin to rise up, and then, he got into his body, and fully possessed him. As revenge on Dan, he possessed him and made him see visions of Gerald possessed by him to torment him and drive him mad into a coma, which succeeded. Now, all Fate-Bringer has to do is kill Dan's spirit in his coma and send him to Hell, where he will remain for eternity.

Dan, now knowing about his plans, challenges him to a fight. If Dan wins, Fate-Bringer will have to let Gerald go and ascend to the afterlife, wake him from his coma, heal his aneurism, and Fate-Bringer will be sent to Hell instead of Dan, and if Fate-Bringer wins, Dan's spirit will go to hell for eternal damnation and his body will be Fate-Bringer's to control. Fate-Bringer and Dan both accept each other's win conditions and begin to fight each other. But just as Dan begins to overpower Fate-Bringer, he counters Dan by scaring him some more, and disillusioning him by telling him that nobody loves him. Just as Dan is about to give up, he hears his mother calling out to him in the hospital, telling him to wake from his coma and reminding him that he is not alone. Dan then rises from Fate-Bringer's foot, where he now dons visible armor, and a glowing sword fueled by the strength of his many relationships with his friends and family. Dan tells Fate-Bringer that no one is ever alone, and he is the only one who is better off alone. Fate-Bringer is shocked and declares Dan's rise impossible. Dan slays him multiple times before slaying Fate-Bringer in his torso. As a result, Fate-Bringer is defeated and Gerald is released from his possession. Dan apologizes to Gerald for having his parents run him over, and Gerald forgives him, saying that Dan's parents are to blame and not him. As a result, the two say one final goodbye to each other before Gerald ascends to Heaven. Dan then wakes up from his coma, with his parents finally happy to see him awake. Afterwards, Dan and his family decide to go home as Dan looks up in the sky, knowing that Gerald can rest easy now that Fate-Bringer is gone.
