Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom or any of the character related to the show. I am only a dedicated fan. The only thing I own are my oc's. If you want to borrow one just ask.

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 preceder, so it won't take as long.

I am so sorry. I know, it's late, but I have a good reason not excuse. I went to Atlanta to see my grandmother and also my father who's a minister had some business to take care of so we spent the night and though I can get a connection on my laptop it's weak and I can't upload chapters on it. We didn't get back until Friday night and I had no time to update (I mean we ate at ten o'clock). Anyway, I was gone all day today doing a chicken fundraiser, so I just got back. Really sorry about the late update!

Second, I know the story is going fast. It's meant to go that way because in all honesty I didn't want to write this one. I just needed to give everyone a little background for the crystal before I go on. The next one is slow and around sixteen chapters maybe. The one after that may be even longer because it focuses on two people and not the two I've been focusing on and will be focusing on in the next one. So this is just like a filler in. Meant to be short and sweet. Just something to stick in there to fill it in and also partly because by next year I want to be done with this series. So that's why.

Next, I know by now you guys are probably like, what the heck is wrong with Sam? Yeah I know. She's different isn't she? I find this story fun to write when it comes to personalities and I know exactly how it's going to go, but I can't wait to write the next one. You'll like that one for sure.

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

Museum Chase Part II

By

DarkDragonQueen

-.oOOo.-

Danny muttered to himself as he and Ember flew to the museum. Danny was not pleased to say the least. Of course he really didn't want to scold Black Phoenix because then he would sound like his sister which was the last thing he wanted, but he had to o something to get through to his best friend. As soon as they began to approach the building Danny shivered and his ghost sense went off. He looked down at the museum. It seemed that Sam wasn't the only one at the museum tonight.

"You coming?" Danny asked Ember knowing that since a ghost was in there it would turn the situation around completely in her eyes. She didn't play hero whether he needed the help or not no matter how much Aly pleaded.

"To find Goth Girl, yes. To fight ghost, no." Ember said as she flew through the ceiling.

Danny went through as well not seeing Ember anywhere so he assumed she was looking for Black Phoenix. He decided he'd let Ember take care of her for now. He had to focus on whatever ghost was here.

He wandered silently down the dark halls of the museum with moonlight shining through a few windows. He hadn't seen any ghost yet. He continued and then stopped.

Click, click, click

Danny frowned upon hearing the noise. What was that? He heard it continue and then stop for a moment and then start up again. The noise got closer and then it suddenly dawned on him what it sounded like.

"Are those high heel boots?" he asked an as if on cue someone ran into him.

"Darn it," came Black Phoenix's voice as she fell backwards almost dropping the sack in her hand along with Toya. She stood up and then looked at Danny who was eyeing the bag in her hand and giving her a disapproving look. She sighed although she was more so annoyed about what she knew was coming once the bight was over. "Scratch that, let's try... Fuck."

"Phoenix," Danny said looking her in the eye. "What did you steal from here?"

"I didn't steal it from here." Black Phoenix smirked. "I stole it from the person who stole it from here."

"Who stole it from here then?" Danny asked confused.

"I did!" Black Phoenix ducked as a blue blur shot into Danny causing him to knock into a statue.

"So I see you invited your boyfriend." Sabrina said looking at Black Phoenix. "Too weak to take me on yourself?"

Black Phoenix's eyes flashed dangerously. "I don't need his or anyone's help to take you on." she held up the sack of precious items.

"Why don't we just see about that?" Sabrina asked disappearing from sight and then reappearing behind Black Phoenix and kicking her.

"You know, only a coward attacks a man from behind." Black Phoenix said as she got up.

"You're no man," Sabrina said simply shooting her sharp edged diamonds at Phoenix who moved out the way.

Danny who had long since recovered went over to Toya. "Why are you here and why was Phoenix here?"

Toya looked hesitant and then shook her head.

"Toya,"

"Phoenix told me not to tell." Toya whispered.

"Did she by any chance threaten you?" Danny asked dryly.

"Not verbally."

Danny rolled his eyes. Black Phoenix always did use that glare of hers to her advantage. It was a scary sight that would make the fearless of men cower in fright.

"Relax, she won't hurt you, now why was she here?"

"She said she wanted a few things on the exhibit and that she was going to take them. Sabrina came and we hid. When Sabrina stole had the items Black Phoenix tackled her and took the sack and ran off, that's when we ran into you." Toya admitted.

Danny shook his head. Black Phoenix liked to steal from little places. A few small desires here and there, but nothing like this. He didn't understand. What could have caused such a drastic change in his best friend? He pondered this for a moment before glass breaking was heard.

Danny turned his attention back to th fight between the two females and saw that Danny had thrown Sabrina into an exhibit encased by glass. Ectoplasm leaked from the ghost's hand where a piece a glass had cut it.

"Still think I'm too weak?" Black Phoenix asked as she turned around and was about to leave only to knock into Ember.

"Goth Girl," she demanded. "Where's my guitar?"

"Not now Ember?" Phoenix said but all the same the guitar appeared and she gave it to Ember running past her.

"Why's she in such a hurry?" Ember asked before Sabrina shot past her and took off after Phoenix. Her eye's narrowed and then she looked back down at her guitar and gasped. That blue haired ghost had scraped it.

Danny meanwhile followed the two women who were fighting. They were going to wreck the museum at this rate. And then he heard Ember behind him raging about a scratch on her guitar. Soon Ember had tag teamed with Black Phoenix to take down the jewelry stealing ghost.

"Cat fight?" Toya asked next to Danny.

Danny nodded. He knew something was wrong. What had Sabrina done to tick Black Phoenix off this bad? It had to be something. Yeah, Sabrina challenged her, but she was going all out. Sabrina had to have done something before and now Phoenix was holding a grudge, but the question was, for what?

"Cawww," Danny heard Black Phoenix cry out as she slammed into a wall.

Sabrina was smirking as she threw Ember into the wall next to her by her guitar.

"Damn," both girls muttered.

"Looks like you can't take me on with or without help." Sabrina smirked.

"Why would I care? We aren't finished." Black Phoenix said standing up. "Beside, I still got this." she raised the bag of stolen items that was somehow enchanted for it hadn't torn during the fight even with the sword inside. Black Phoenix stepped back into the shadows and was gone.

"That darn Goth girl," Sabrina gritted as her two helpers appeared behind her. "Lets go." she demanded and disappeared leaving Danny, Toya, and Ember.

Ember let out a growled. "That dumb jewel thief. Look what she did to my guitar. Wait until I get my hands on her. She's going to see what happens after your afterlife ends." Her hair grew out and spiraled around her making her disappear.

Danny groaned. That was it. He had to talk to Sam and get some things cleared now. He grabbed Toya and flew invisible through the roof not wanting to be caught at the scene of the crime. The museum was a mess.

"Danny, what's wrong with Phoenix?" Toya asked as they flew.

Danny sighed. "I don't know Toya, but it's about time we find out."

-.oOOo.-

When they were at the Manson Mansion Danny dropped Toya off and then floated into Sam's room. He saw her sitting on the bed looking at the stolen items curiously, but she was especially looking at the sword.

"You're going to return it right?" Danny asked appearing in front of her.

She looked up. "Tsh, yeah right." she replied rolling her eyes.

Danny sighed. "Sam, what's wrong with you. First you suddenly stop saving people from death and then you go to stealing."

"I used to steal all the time back in the city." Sam replied simply.

"Even you told me it was a few items here and there from cheap stores, but never a museum!" Danny exclaimed. "What's next the bank?"

Sam raised an eyebrow. "That's not a bad idea..."

"Sam!"

"Look Danny, I don't need you to be my conscience. Don't want one. I'll do what I want when I want and nothing's going to stop me form doing that." Sam declared

Danny looked at her shocked. So apparently he was starting to get on her nerve. She didn't snap at him like she had everyone else, but she was getting annoyed at this point.

He sighed and looked at his close friend and partner. "Alright, whatever Sam. I'm going home. Talk to you later."

Sam looked at him and nodded. Danny noticed she didn't seem annoyed with him anymore. "Yeah, whatever." she sighed and continued looking at the stolen items as Danny flew through the ceiling concerned for his best friend.

-.oOOo.-

Yay! Another chapter. Next chapter is going to be fun. Here's you sneak peek:

Aly stalked over to her dead aunt and sat next to her.

"What are you doing here this late?" Ember asked playing a chord on her guitar.

Aly sighed. "I'm worried about Sam. She's been acting so different lately. We now think it had somethng to do with her crystal, but we can't be sure about it until Danny goes and sees Celosia."

"You mean that dumb crystal Goth girl wears around her neck all the time?" Ember asked looking ahead and playing a light tune on her guitar.

"It was stolen."

"Really?" Ember asked with no emotion.

"I told you that weeks ago." Aly sighed. "Remember?"

Ember shrugged. "You might have mentioned it once." she replied "But like I was saying you said something about a woman named Alesia giving her that when she brought her back to life right?"

"Yeah," Aly replied. Ember had to be going somewhere with this or she wouldn't be asking all these questions.

Well nothing to say here except, R&R.
