Wow lots of suspense in that last chapter. I think you all will love this chapter and the next. I do not own Danny phantom or its characters.

Chapter 9.

Danny woke up and realized he was on a bed. "So he wakes now huh?" he looked up to see kitty and skulker around him. Skulker was covered in bandages and had wires sticking out of his arms and legs. "we were worried you wouldn't wake up Danny." Kitty said voice full of sadness. She looked like she was on the verge of tears. "You've been asleep for four weeks." Danny's eyes went wide. "Four weeks?" he screamed falling out of his bed. He looked up once he heard laughter. He saw kitty handing skulker a 20 dollar bill. "I told you he would fall out of his bed." Skulker laughed. Danny looked at them in confusion. Skulker smiled. "Don't worry dude you've only been asleep for an hour." He said laughing. The next thing he knew skulker was blasted backwards by an ecto blast.

He looked at skulker and kitty. "so what happened with your guys battles?" he asked rubbing his arm. Kitty frowned. "skulker lost his battle with vortex." She then smiled. "but with a cost." Danny looked at skulker with a confused look. Skulker grinned. "let's just say you owe me bigtime dude." He said. Danny looked at them with confusion. Suddenly something hit him. "whens embers battle?" he asked with a worried tone. He wanted to see embers strength. Kitty pointed to the doorway. "its going on right now.

Danny got up out of bed only to feel a sharp pain in his side. Kitty at once grabbed under his arm skulker joined in. "Danny you should be in bed." Kitty said already pushing Danny back to the bed. Danny pushed kitty and skulker out of the way. "I need to get out there." He said flying out to the room. Kitty and skulker flew behind him. "Danny what's the deal?" skulker asked trying to keep up with Danny. Danny made it just in time to see ember on the ground being held down by a red haired girl. Danny got a good look at the girl to realize that was Penelope spectra. Danny flew down near the ring.

Ember was being held down by spectras knee. Danny looked up to see that ember only had 3 minutes left on the clock. "ember!" she looked to see Danny. Her eyes widened when she saw him. "Danny what are you doing?" she shrieked as Penelope picked her up and smashed her on the ground. Danny's eyes widened. He screamed as he saw her lifeless. "cmon ember get up!" he yelled over everyone screaming. She didn't respond. "cmon ember you promised we would fight Im not going to lose that chance." Her eyes fluttered open. "youre not a quitter!" he yelled. Spectra picked up ember by her hoodie raising her fist ready to end the fight. Only when she brought her fist down her punch was caught. Her face had a look of shock as ember brought her fist to meet spectras jaw.

At that moment Danny smiled. "cmon ember show them what youre made of." At that moment skulker and kitty along with Danny started to chant her name(you all should've seen this coming.) "Ember Ember Ember Ember." Danny stopped chanting as soon as he heard the whole school chanting. He took a look at ember and spectras fists in eachothers grip only ember was winning. Ember grabbed spectra and threw her up in the air. at that moment faster than Danny could see ember whipped out a blue guitar. She smiled up at Penelope who was floating above the ring.

Danny looked down at ember to see her take off her hood and to his surprise a burst of flame erupted from her hair. She teleported up to where spectra was and grabbed her by the scruff of the sweater. "you know the old phrase Penelope?" she asked punching her enemy in the gut and releasing a loud guitar riff blasting spectra back to the ground. "if you cant take the heat stay out of the kitchen." She said smashing her foot down on spectras stomach. Ember looked up at the clock to see she had one minute left. She grabbed spectra by her hair and brought her head up so their eyes were the same level. "do you know why im so powerful now?" she asked seeing the fear in spectras eyes.

"its because theyre all chanting my name. the more people chant the more powerful I become." She said smirking. She then decked Penelope so hard not holding back she went flying out of the ring. Pandora flew down smiling. She raised up embers left hand. "and the winner of this round ember mclain." Danny could make out people chanting her name more and more. Ember put her hood back on fixing the bangs so they covered her left eye again. She hopped out of the ring and put her guitar back in its case. "nice job back there." she jumped and looked behind her. Danny stood there arms folded and in human form. "don't expect me to thank you dipstick." She said scowling. Danny smiled. No problem I just cant wait for our fight if it happens." He said putting his hands behind his back like his father always did.

"well thanks for a good show." Danny said turning away walking towards his friends. Ember turned away and blushed. Then as quietly as she could whispered: "thanks Danny." She said smiling. In the teachers area walker was quieter then usual. Everyone knew what was eating at him. He had challenged the headmaster to a bet and lost. At that moment clockwork came in arms full of papers. He handed them to walker whos face was full of anger. "now im going to need all of this done by the Wednesday." Walkers mouth dropped in shock. "but today is Monday this will take me forever to get done." He complained.

Clockwork smiled. "then id get started then now wouldn't i?" he said looking over the arena. He smiled seeing Danny talking to his friends. He looked over at the bench and as he predicted Desiree was on there along with spectra and box lunch. He looked at the list to see skulkers name on the bench list. His mind calculated what he was up to and smiled. "I don't think walkers going to like who his niece is paired up with Pandora." He said grinning ear to ear. Pandora looked at him with a confused expression. "whys that?" she asked all arms folded. Clockwork turned to face her. "because whoever it is will be causing walker more and more grief." He said winding up a switch on his staff. "anyway back to the matter at hand has every winning student been evaluated?" he asked technus. He nodded. "yep surprisingly no 4th classes this year." Clockwork smiled. "good get ready to announce it then."

Danny was getting patched up by kitty when the alarm went off. He looked up at the board as names came acrossed.

Spectra 2nd class

Boxlunch 3rd class.

Kathrine(kitty.) 2nd class.

Skulker 2nd class.

Vortex 1st class.

Ember 1st class.

Danny 1st class.

Dannys eyes widened. He stuttered until he exploded with joy. "im in first class!" he yelled at the top of his lungs over the applause. Kitty and skulker shook hands with him. "congrats dude." Skulker said smiling. Kitty gave Danny as small hug. "I knew you'd make it to first I just knew it." Danny looked over at ember who was smiling. He walked up in front of her smiling. She scowled. "well looks like well be fighting in the next round." He said rubbing his neck. Ember fought back her blush. "yep and remember I have a lot of fans now theyll all be chanting my name. so be ready dipstick. Don't hold back like what you did with Desiree." She then walked away smiling once Danny couldn't see her face blush.

Now people don't be mad at me because the fight between ember and Danny will be in the next chapter so please don't hate me. Now many of you are wondering why skulker lost his match with vortex. Why does Danny owe him? Well all will be answered next chapter.
