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. It won't be as long as it's prequal, so it won't take as long.

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 third chapter of The Black Phoenix: Humanity.

A Near Tragic Death

Sam sighed as she went through her swimsuits in her home. Everyone was waiting for her downstairs and she still hadn't decided which one to put on. The ones she had seemed too conservative. All of them were black or purple one piece with no style at all. Then she picked up the last one and smiled a smile that she usually only smiled as the Black Phoenix.

"Perfect," she said and put it on and grabbing a black swim skirt not putting it on yet, but simply draping it over her shoulder.

She came down the stairs where Aly, Tucker, Danny, and Toya were waiting very impatiently. They heard her come down the stairs.

"Finally Sammy, honestly how long does it take for you to find a bathing- God!" Aly exclaimed cutting herself off. "I thought you said you were never going to wear that!"

"You like it?" she asked

Danny and Tucker couldn't reply as they stood there with their jaws dropped. Sam had on a tube top black bathing suit that laced across the front and showed off her bellybutton and black breif cut bottoms to it that showed off her legs. She had let her hair out which had grown yet again, but only to the middle of her back.

Two years ago Sam would have put on her bat cape, but that was then. Nowadays she just put on the swimming skirt and the pair of black sunglasses.

"So what do you think?" Sam asked finally reaching the bottom of the stairs.

Tucker managed to snap out of his stupor while Danny was still standing there shocked.

"Wow Sam. Who knew," he said all the while frowning in his head. Sam may have been goth, but she was a conservatie one at that. According to Aly she had given that to Sam a year ago and she refused to wear it.

Sam put the skirt on and Danny finally snapped out of his stupor.

"You enjoyed that sneak peak didn't you?" Tucker teased.

"Yeah Sam, nice one." Aly smirked.

Danny turned an interest shade of red, but Sam seemed unaffected as she gave Aly a dry look and rolled her eyes shaking her head as she grabbed Toya's hand and headed for the door. Aly frowned. That was a very wrong reaction. Sam should have yelled pervert to Tucker and something about if she kept this up she would be standing on the corner with her hooker friends, all the while trying to hide her blush, but it wasn't right.

Aly dismissed it as they walked to the water park with a jumpy Toya holding tight to Sam's hand. She thought it was cute the way Sam took to Toya. Even though she was only around twelve years older than the girl she acted like a mother to the girl.

When they arrived at the park, as usual during the summer, it was full of teens. Some were boys looking a all the girls in bathing suits, some were girls trying to show off their body and then turn down all the boys that asked them out and some were just there like them to have fun.

"Sam, Sam, Sam, can we go on a ride please?" Toya asked.

"Yeah in a minute," Sam replied as she told Danny, Aly, and Tucker she would meet them later. She would drop Toya off and come back. She didn't have to really worry about Toya. The girl was a ghost who could take care of herself if anyone tried to grab her and if she found out someone had tried to do some molesting or attempt a rape on her she would find that person cut off a very sensitive part, shove it down their throat and then rip their limbs off before snapping off their head. She smiled to that picture. That sounded nice.

"Sam, I want someone to stay with me." Toya whined.

"You'll be fine."

"But what if a ghost comes and I can't beat it."

"Me and Danny will still be here."

"But Sam,"

Sam sighed, the girl's charm didn't work on her, but she did have a point. She was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she didn't see the person in front of her and bumped into her.

"Sor- Oh it's you." the Latina accent said.

"Hello Paulina," Sam sighed. She didn't feel like going through this.

"Hi, my names Toya."

Sam smirked. And she wouldn't have to...

Paulina looked at the little ghost girl who was giving off a little innocent ghost energy. This was her charm and obviously it worked on teens too. Maybe since she had her powers, Danny was a halfa, and Aly was sharing her body with Ember, it didn't work on them. She wasn't sure about Tucker though. Toya had never used it on him.

"Aww, you're so cute." she exclaimed with adoration in her eyes.

"Can you take me to the waterslide and stay and play with me?" Toya asked with her eyes shining with innocence.

"Aww, how can I say no? Come on and I'll by you a treat too. How about some ice cream?" Paulina asked as she took the girl by the hand and walked off with her.

"Well, that solves that problem." Sam said as she turned around to find Danny, Aly and Tucker.

She walked over to one of the wettest rides in the park, which was called Hurricane. Her three friends were standing in line waiting to get in.

"This will be so cool." Tucker said. "This is one of the wettest rides here and it's supposedly like a real Hurricane. People have come out of it owing to never go to Florida or any beach during hurricane season."

Sam just stood in line waiting. She was rather bored and had an urge to do something reckless. Back in her old town, maybe she would have done it, but she couldn't do it now. Danny was here and if she did, Sam would never hear the end of it.

They were at the front of the line now. The place was this big round black dome or something with lots of paths and makeshift house in it. The four got in their seats and then everyone else boarded. The ride started to move. The seat they were in was round and fit four people. It started to get dark and the wind picked up.

The ride began to move and the wind picked up and it started to rain heavily. Then the ride started to rock back and forth. A few screams were heard, one of which was made by Aly who had forced out a startled Ember.

"Why that darn niece of mine," she growled as the ride shook and spun like they were in a real hurricane. Even Danny was startled at how realistic it was.

Then the ride took a hard jug to the right where it nearly tilted over. There was a scream, but not at the ride. Someone had fallen out the ride and the water in the ride by now was rather deep.

"Oh, no someone fell out."

"Someone do something!"

Danny, Tucker, and Ember turned to Sam who seemed a bit bored by the situation.

"Well?" Danny asked over the ride which had momentarily stopped ut the rain was still pouring hard with the winds blowing.

"Well, what?" Sam asked wiping water from her face, or tying to since the wind and rain was still going.

"Hello, Goth Girl. You died a tragic death. A woman grants you the power to come back and make sure no one suffers your fate as long as you can help it. This is a wonderful example of a tragic death." Ember said looking at her with a dry look.

Sam shrugged. "What am I supposed to do? Not like it's my problem."

Her three friends were shocked to say the least. She was just going to let this kid or who ever it was drown. Danny shook his head deciding to ponder it later. He ducked in his seat.

"Going Ghost!" he cried turning into Danny Phantom.

Danny went intangible and through the bottom of the seats they were in and up from the water. She grabbed the person from under the water where they greedily gasped for air.

The ride ended and Danny put the boy down who was only around nine and not supposed to be on the ride in the first place.

"You okay kid?" Danny asked floating in front of him. The boy nodded and Danny disappeared as soon as he heard the boy's sister or whoever runs to him. "Now to have a little talk with my partner."

Danny went and grabbed Sam who had been watching him with the boy when they got of the ride. He flew them behind the bathrooms and dropped Sam in front of him.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"Okay, how about we start with... What the hell is wrong with you?"

Sam sighed. Danny was about to chew her out now. "Nothing's wrong with me."

"Sam," Danny yelled. "You were going to let that kid drown!"

"I'm entitled to a break. I didn't feel like saving him. I didn't feel like anything. If anything though, it was amusing." Sam rolled her eyes.

"AMUSING! Hello, Earth to Sam. When you chose to be a hero, it means whether you want to or not you have to save a person if their innocent. You can't just not save someone because you want a break!" Danny exclaimed.

"Listen Ghost, Boy," Sam started with no feeling in her voice so Danny couldn't tel if she was angry, shamed, sad, or exasperated. Danny did catch however, that she was thoroughly annoyed for that was the only time she called him Ghost Boy or when she was teasing. "It's not my fault that kid snuck on the ride. There's a reason they won't let anyone fewer than five feet on that ride. He snuck on and had to deal with the consequences. So it wasn't my problem, what was I supposed to do."

"Have you forgotten that you're the Black Phoenix?" Danny asked exasperated.

"No, but I didn't fell like playing hero today." Sam shrugged.

Danny groaned and grabbed the black haired girl by her shoulders. "What is wrong with you?"

"Nothing's wrong with me Danny." Sam insisted rolled her eyes. "I have to go find Toya. She's with Paulina, now if you'll excuse me." Sam rounded the corner to find Toya, but then poked her head back. "You might not want to stay like that, being Public Ghost Enemy #1." she said and Danny realized he was still in ghost form.

Danny sighed as the two rings went up and down his body leaing him in his human form. Maybe nothing was wrong with Sam and they were just a little over- protective of her. He would just leave her alone for a while, but in the back of his mind he knew something was off about his best friend.

-.oOOo.-

The blue haired ghost with jewels and a silk outfit adorning her smiled as she looked at the shining black crystal in her hands. Around her were all types of jewel. Some of them were common and some were the rarest of the rare. Either way, it was all some type of jewelry and she was obsessed over them.

Sabrina sighed as she looked over the jewel. She had never seen anything like it, but it looked familiar.

"Ruby, Emerald." she called her two helpers in her lair in the ghost zone. The two black haired ghost appeared in front of her. "Have you ever seen this before?" she asked

Ruby looked at it. "It belongs to that girl that Danny Phantom partners up with. I think her name was Goth Girl," she said a bit unsure at the name.

"That Ghost kid called her Phoenix." Sabrina replied

"That's because her name's Black Phoenix." said Emerald

Sabrina raised an eyebrow in surprise. "That was the Black Phoenix, Ha," she laughed. "From what the other ghost were saying I was expecting someone a bit more intimidating and more powerful. The way the ghost are afraid of her and that Danny Phantom, one would think they were gods... They were too troublesome in my opinion."

"I wouldn't underestimate them Lady Sabrina. Rumor has it the Goth girl passed the judgment." Ruby said.

"Oh, really?" Sabrina asked. "Well, it's not like it makes a difference. She was no more powerful than any other person I've fought and her boyfriend too. I must admit though, she has a taste in style and jewelry. She seemed a bit more dismayed than I expected her to be when I took it though. I wonder why..." Sabrina mused.

"We could find out." Emerald smirked.

"No," Sabrina waved it off. "It's not important. I have some more jewels to get and this time, I think we'll pay the museum a little visit."

-.oOOo.-

There it is. By now I hope you smart reviewers of mine have figured out what's going on. If you look at the title and the summary I'm sure one person figured it out, but as I like to say, Maybe, Maybe not. Oh and I knowit's late but I went to the skating ring tonight. It was so much fun.Here's your sneak peek:

"What are you doing here dork?"

Danny turned around to face a smirking Ember who had her arms crossed. The brown hair, belonging to Aly, had blue streaks in it and flared a bit like flame.

"What is it Ember?" he asked with a sighed. He really didn't feel like putting up with her remarks and insults.

"Nothing, just wondering why you're wondering the house as if you're looking for something." she replied leaning sideways against the wall.

"I'm looking for Sam." Danny said simply.

"Oh, your Goth girlfriend." Ember stated before nodding her head upstairs with a slight frown. "She was in her room last I checked."

"Well she's not there now." Danny sighed in frustration. He really needed to talk to her.

"She isn't... well I didn't see her leave and since she doesn't practice heroine- ship anymore I don't know what she went to do." Ember shrugged. "Not like it's my problem."

Ember went back upstairs and no sooner had Danny been about to take off did her hear her scream and come back out. She came through the door looking ready to murder.

"That be damned Goth girl." She growled turning to Danny. "Dipstick, your girlfriend took my guitar."

I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it. R&R.
