DarkDragonQueen: The sequel to The Black Phoenix: Life After Death is here. This one is going to be good and we find out exactly what the crystal Sam always has around her neck does. That's all I'm giving you. You figure out the rest. So here's the full summary since I'm not sure it will fit under the link. I actually don't like this part of the series, but it was necessary (Yeah, it's already done. I admit it.)It won't be as long as it's preceder, so it won't take as long and I know. It's late! I just couldn't find the time to upload it. My mother has taken a liking to my laptop, which is okay, but jeez can't the owner get a little time on it. Okay, okay, here's the summary...

Summary: After being asked a question about what her crystal does by Toya, Sam works day and night to find out what it does, but when it's stolen in a fight, Sam starts to change. Suddenly she doesn't care about anyone's well- being or whether people are hurt or not and is entertained by people dying. With Danny, Toya, Aly, and Tucker concerned for the girls mental stability they decide it's time to figure out exactly what the crystal's purpose was.

So without any further interruptions, here is the first chapter of The Black Phoenix: Humanity

-.oOOo.-

A Simple Question

By

DarkDragonQueen

-.oOOo.-

Oh, I see you're back. A lot has happened since the last time you, but not much has changed Toya's powers are developing. Danny and me are getting closer still, Tucker is still a techno- geek, and Aly is still the most observant person in the world who's sharing her body with the ghost of her great aunt. This summer though, something happened that's a good thing, but then again it was kind of bad. To think though, that it started off with a simple question from Toya and a jewelry thieving ghost...

Sam sighed as she sat back on her bed in her room. Summer had finally come, although she had been suspended from school for a month and a half already. She sighed as she sat on the bed fanning herself. Of all days it just had to be today that the air conditioner wasn't working and the soonest anyone could come to fix it was tomorrow. Just Perfect...

"You okay?" a girl with long golden brown hair, skin to match, and cotton candy pink eyes asked poking her head in.

"I'm just hot, Toya." Sam sighed. She had long ago discarded her jacket and stockings and boots. "I want to be in Antarctica right about now."

"And if it were freezing cold you would be wanting to be in Miami." the four year said knowingly rolling her eyes as she stepped into the room and the temperature drop about thirty degrees.

"Stay right there." Sam said liking the drop in temperature and suddenly she wasn't so hot. "I forgot you're a ghost, so you wouldn't care if it was hot or not."

Toya sighed. "If you won't let me leave I might as well sit down." she said walking oer and jumping up on the bed. "If you're so hot, why don't you call Danny and ask if you can go over there. I'm sure their air condi... contion... AC is working." Toya said giving up on saying the word.

Sam laughed. "I don't feel like going out into that oven and having to walk over there. I was up all night fighting murderers. I'm tired." the goth almost whined.

"I'm sure if Aly asked her Ember would fly you." Toya suggested

"Ember doesn't like being anywhere near us when she has to be... Aly has Ember, so she's not bothered by the heat either." Sam groaned. "Am I the only one in this house effected by the heat?" she asked

"Since your parents are gone for three weeks, yeah." Toya replied bluntly.

"It was a rhetorical question Toya." Sam said dryly as Toya cooled off the room.

"What's rhetorical?" Toya managed to ask.

Sam sighed again. "Forget it Toya." she said in a monotone not feeling like explaining.

"Even when you're hot as hell-"

"Toya who taught you that?" Sam scolded

"Well, in your Phoenix form you don't have such a decent mouth." Toya rolled her eyes. "And neither does Danny when he's bothered or angry. So I was bound to pick it up sooner or later. Anyway like I was saying even when you're hot as... hot you can still talk in the dry monotone voice that creeps anyone who doesn't know you out."

"I get a lot of practice doing it when I'm fighting off ghost and bad guys." Sam replied

"Speaking of that," Toya started. "Can I ask you something?"

"You just did." Sam answered and Toya rolled her eyes.

"Anyway, I just wanted to know what that crystal does besides telling you when danger's coming?"

"Well, I think it keeps me alive and helps me to transform into The Black Phoenix." Sam said simply

"I don't think it keeps you alive." Toya said suddenly

"Huh?" Sam asked

"Well the night you got it, you left it on your dresser and then the next day went to school without it and you didn't drop dead did you?" Toya asked

Sam frowned. She had never really thought about that. The four year old was smart for her age and was really like a mini Aly.

"And I don't think it helps you transform. I bet you could do that on you own. I bet the crystal just triggered it by tapping into the power for you until you could do it on you own." Toya added. "I don't even think it senses danger anymore. I think part of your powers is a sixth sense. Now answer my question. Alesia gave it to you, there must be a reason and I don't think it's to make you look good."

Sam sighed and leaned on her pillow. What did her crystal do?

-.oOOo.-

Sam sighed as she tapped her finger nails on the keys of her keyboard. This was seriously starting to bother her. She had looked through every supernatural book she had, been on every supernatural website she could think of and even went to one of those websites where they sold magical pendants and charms and still she had found nothing that could tell her what her crystal did. All she knew was that it had it be some kind of magical black diamond. It was late and she really should have been going to bed, but she was used to late nights

She banged her hand on the desk in frustration and then came her danger sense, but this time it was warning her that Danny need her help. She had gotten really good at being able to tell the difference between each vibe she got. She got up went to the window transforming into Black Phoenix as she walked. She jumped off her balcony landing silently on her boots.

Phoenix decided to walk on the sidewalk since she was sure no one was up at this hour. Her feet led her to a jewelry store where she was just in time to see Danny thrown through the window of it. Twin female ghost walked out with long black hair and pale blue skin. Both were holding a sack of jewels. Behind them was a beautiful ghost with short blue hair that cupped her face. She was adorned in a silk pants, tank top, jacket and jewels.

"You know," Phoenix started dryly. "It's against the law to steal." she sighed. It was a typical jewel theft only with ghost. Why did Danny need her help?

"Phoenix watch out she-" Danny was cut off as the ghost with blue hair stretched out her hand and shout out blue sharp edged diamonds. They were so fast Black Phoenix couldn't dodged and the grazed her sides and gave her various cut on her arms.

"Perfect. My parents already think I'm hanging with the wrong crowd. Now when they see this cut added to all the bruises I have, they'll definitely send me to the school in Scotland." Phoenix muttered dryly touching a cut on her shoulder.

"Phoenix move!" Danny shouted urgently. Phoenix looked up and then dodged the two blue beams that came from the twin ghost.

Phoenix landed on top of a car that was still parked in the street and growled. Today just wasn't her day. She jumped off the car and charged into the twin ghost. They went flying into the wall where a black aura appeared around her fist and she punch one under it's chin and then grabbed her twin and threw it into her making them drop the jewels.

"My jewels!" Exclaimed the blue haired ghost glaring at Black Phoenix looking ready to murder her.

"Phantom what did I do to piss her off?" Phoenix asked as the ghost threw her sharp edged jewels at him and he flew in the air to dodge them.

"She's obsessed with the jewels if you haven't noticed." Danny replied as the blue haired ghost took her eyes off of him and directed her attention to Black Phoenix.

She threw her diamonds at Black Phoenix. Black Phoenix this time prepared jumped over them and kicked the ghost in the chest making her fall on her back with Black Phoenix's foot in her chest.

"Okay, who are you?" she demanded

The ghost laughed. "I'm Sabrina the prettiest pearl in the sea." she said in soft sugary voice

"Like I care," Phoenix said sarcastically rolling her eyes.

"You should." Sabrina said grabbing Black Phoenix's foot and pushing her back making the goth fall hard on her back. She growled and moved to get up only to duck back down when Sabrina's sharp edged diamonds came flying at her.

Danny aimed and Sabrina's back and shot an ecto- ray at her back, but she moved out of the way with lightning speed and it went towards Black Phoenix. The girl's eyes in turn widened and she rolled out the way.

"Sorry," Danny said hurridly flying after Sabrina and then stopping when he noticed she wasn't around. "Where'd she go?"

Black Phoenix stood up and looked around cautiously. "She's still here, but I don't know why unless she still wants those jewels."

Then Sabrina appeared right in front of Black Phoenix pushing her into a wall and putting her knee in her stomach.

"You're darn right, I'm still here." she growled. "But not for those jewels." Sabrina said referring to the ones scattered on the ground as she eyes the crystal on the choker around Black Phoenix's neck. "I like the one around your neck. It would look much better on me." she winked and snatched the choker with the crystal off Black Phoenix's neck before she could do anything and disappeared as did the two twin ghost.

Black Phoenix slid down the wall clutching her stomach.

"Sabrina has a strong knee punch." she managed trying to get her wind back.

Danny flew down next to her. "You okay?" he asked concerned

Black Phoenix nodded. "I've felt better." she admitted

"She took your crystal." he pointed out. "Is that a bad thing?"

"I don't know, but I'm not dying and I still have my powers, so I'm guessing no." Black Phoenix replied grabbing the hand Danny offered her and stood up. She sighed as she touch the dried blood on one of her arms. "Today is just not my day." she stated dryly

"I'll fly you home." Danny offered, but Phoenix shook her head and gave a small smile which was something she rarely did in this form, but it was something she would give Danny sometimes in appreciation.

"You might want to get home before your parents realize you're gone. Mine are gone for a few weeks, so I'm in no risk of getting into trouble. Later Danny." she yawned as she jumped onto the roof of a nearby building and went on her way home, but getting a nagging feeling that something wasn't quite right.

-.oOOo.-

There it is. One of the questions that wasn't exactly answered in the first story will be revealed, but then again the first story was just and introduction. There are two more hints at what the next two stories will be about in the first story. The next one is really obvious and the third you might have to consider for a moment... Now that I think on it, there are actually three hints at three future stories. Oh well, you can figure it out. Here's your sneak peek:

Tucker choked and spit out the juice in his mouth and Aly who had finally managed to bring back up the pancake she had been choking on fell out her chair. Jazz simply stood there in shock and Toya simply sat picking a pancake to eat not being old enough to understand what the conversation was about.

After recovering from their surprise and shock the three teens stared at Sam expecting her to fall out laughing and say 'just kidding'. She instead looked up and noticed their curious gazes.

"What?" she asked looking at them.

The others in the room shook their heads and came out of their stupor just as Danny came down the stairs.

"Morning," He yawned.

"Morning Danny," Sam said as Danny sat next to her.

The other three were still getting over their shock of Sam's reply to Aly's question having not noticed Danny even come in the room.

"What's their problem?" Danny asked the goth teen next to him

"I don't know. I just answered a simple question from Aly and they all looked like they went into cardiac arrest." Sam stated

"What did Aly ask you?" Danny asked.

"Nothing big." Sam replied and Tucker, Aly, and Jazz looked at her incredulously before shaking their heads.

I hope you like. I'll update every Thursday (or when my mother doesn't have it.)R&R.
