DarkDragonQueen: Okay we're coming to a close here. Around two more chapters. It was actually a longer story that I first originally thought. I didn't want it as long as the Introduction and by now I'm working on its sequel. thank God it's summer or I'd never do it.
Oh my God! This is the last chapter of this story and I couldn't be happier. I'm telling you now that the sequel won't be up until three months. Before you start cussing me out though, please know that a girl needs a break every now an again. Not only will this give me time to work on other stories, but also type up the sequel to this so I won't be pressuring myself to do it as an update nears. Alright, next thing… I'm sorry about this chapters lateness. I was busy Thursday and not even home on Friday for most of the day. Hope you like.
Yeah, you read this next part from me all the time. Grammar is not my best subject. I can apply it well to writing but I'm not perfect people. If you see a few mistakes here and there dismiss them. Luckily my spelling and use of words makes up for that.
So without any further interruptions, here is the possibly last chapter of The Black Phoenix: Humanity. If not it's second to last.
-.oOOo.-
Humanity

The door closed behind then and then and eerie glow cast itself over the dark room. It was full of jewels and rubies and everything of the like. There were even some of the rarest diamond, rubies, and jewels that the world had to offer.
"And you've been on my case. Why don't you lecture Sabrina?" Phoenix smarted as she scanned oer the room full of jewels on the walls and the gold floor.
"You know better." Danny retorted.
"So does she," Phoenix shot back.
"And she's a ghost whose obsession is jewelry; you on the other hand just do it for the heck of it." Danny glared.
Phoenix growled under her breath having no retort to it. "Let's just go." she said going to the other side of the room where there was a large gold door.
Phoenix pulled the handle and to her frustration it was locked.
"Perfect," she turned to Danny. "Think you can blast it down."
"Back up," Danny replied and then shot a ghost ray at the door, but to no avail.
"Well how do we get through?" Tucker asked and then Aly gasped.
"Hey guys look at this." Aly had stuck her hand through the wall. "In this world we must be the ghost."
Danny could have slapped himself. He had forgotten about that and it took the Miss Perceptive, as Ember called her to remind him.
"Okay," Danny said powering down to his human form. "Let's go through the door then."
Aly and Tucker went first and then Danny turned around to let Phoenix through who didn't have to power down since she was still human in either of her forms. She wasn't behind him like she had been; instead she was standing in front of a pile of jewels and had on in her hand.
"What are you doing Phoenix?" he rolled his eyes trying to catch her attention as he went to stand behind her.
In her hands was a cotton candy pink heart shaped diamond on nice matching leather belt. She was looking over looking at it like a bird staring at a shiny object. Danny sighed.
"Phoenix!" he called and she looked up at him.
"Hmm," she said before turning back to look at the jewel.
"No stealing alright?"
"Why not?" Phoenix smirked. "Sabrina stole this, so would it really be a crime?"
Danny thought about this and saw the logic, although it was logic from a villains point of view in his opinion, he had to admit she had a point.
"Put that down." he replied finding no argument.
"It reminds me of someone but I can't put a name on it..." Phoenix tilted her head.
"Well until you remember, let's go." Danny said pulling Phoenix but the hand to the door and through it.
"It's about time you two dipsticks came!" Ember's voice said as soon as they were through. "What were you doing, having an intimate moment?"
Phoenix glared at Ember not taking in the whole picture to focused on what the pun rock star had said. She was there fighting of Sabrina's twin minions and was in desperate need of help... or it was more like she wanted Danny and Phoenix to take over since she hated fighting other ghost to protect humans.
"Going Ghost!" Danny declared as he flew in to knock one of the ghost down.
He and Phoenix took care of the two ghost with no problem. I was somewhat like the normal battle with Skulker that they now anticipated at least once every other week. The problem came after they were done.
"Well done. You're better than I thought, though I still don't see why everyone here makes such a big deal out of you two. The box ghost could have done that." Sabrina chided as she appeared wearing Phoenix's crystal around her neck.
Phoenix narrowed her eyes. "I don't loose."
"You did when I stole this." Sabrina fingered the crystal around her neck. "I think it looks much better on me. How about you?"
Phoenix's hand glowed black as he eyes burned with rage. Danny held her arm to keep her back. Sabrina was a powerful ghost and if she underestimated her it could be dangerous.
"Actually it makes you look uglier than you already are." Phoenix stated casually and Sabrina's turquoise eyes raged. "I'm here to take it back."
"If it's so valuable to you why do think I'll give it back?" Sabrina asked as she went over to the walls and caressed the red jewel in it.
Phoenix had no answer that she could explain in a few minutes and Danny knew it. He had of course tricked her into coming here.
"I said I was taking it back and that means whether you like it or not." she finally replied.
"Fine, bring it honey." Sabrina charged into Phoenix much like she did right before taking the crystal. It knocked the wind out of Phoenix momentarily, but she recovered quickly and pushed Sabrina off.
Danny moved in to help but to his surprise was knocked back by Phoenix who had kicked him back into a wall.
"Sorry Dan," she said. "But I don't want your help. This is personal."
Danny rubbed his chest as he pulled himself up. Phoenix had one heck of a kick already, but with those boots he was sure to have a large black and purple bruise on his chest in the morning, though he couldn't get mad at her. She hadn't meant to hurt him he was sure, but without her humanity he assumed that just saying no and asking him not to interfere hadn't crossed her mind. He respected her plead- more like demand- though. As Phoenix, his best friend had an ego and a bucket of pride bigger than Tucker's mouth and that was saying something.
He looked up to where Phoenix and Sabrina were clashing in the air and saw something in the formers hand. It was the sword she had stolen and she was using Sabrina's ability to fly to hold herself up in the air.
"I'm impressed, but it's not good enough suga'." Sabrina's sharp edged crystals appeared and she shot them at Phoenix who barely moved enough for them to only tear the top of her leather jacket and leave three nasty gashes on her right arm. Sabrina took her down time to grab her and throw her down to the ground. Phoenix landed painfully on her back and the sword she had disappeared. Danny assumed she had somehow made it apart of her somehow.
Sabrina landed and put her foot on Phoenix's chest.
"It was fun, but game over."
Danny was now prepared to come to Phoenix's rescue knowing full well that she would kill him later for coming to her rescue like she was the damsel in distress. He was stopped though, for Phoenix who was breathing hard gave Sabrina a hard look.
"I still have one final play to make." Phoenix painfully took a deep breath and then...
A loud cry filled the air that sounded like a bird call. It had been dubbed as the Phoenix Cry. Black Shadows in the shape of a phoenix appeared and went through Sabrina who screamed in agony and staggered backwards. When Phoenix closed her mouth the attack was done and Sabrina was on the ground completely out of it.
"Now, game over." Phoenix said as she got up and went over to the fallen jewelry thieving ghost and snatched the crystal from around her neck. Then she put it on and immediately wished she hadn't.
"Ahhh," she screamed and held her head as a rush of feeling and emotion overcame her. She felt herself power down and the feeling overwhelm her. As she black out all she remembered was falling in cold arms and concerned voices calling her name.
-.oOOo.-
"You think she'll be okay?" Danny asked pacing the floor.
"More importantly will she not try and snap us in half when she wakes up?" Tucker added.
"Silver Moon said she'll be fine and that the last couple of weeks have caught up with her." Jazz said assuringly.
Sam moaned and everyone turned to look at her as she opened her eyes and propped herself up on the pillows behind her.
"Where... What... Ow, I feel like I was run over by a truck and then stomped on by an elephant." Sam rubbed her head.
"I'll get some aspirin." Jazz said as she left the room.
"You feel better?" Danny asked standing on the right side of her as she swung her legs over so they dangled off the edge of the bed as she sat upright.
"Was something wrong with me?" Sam asked.
"You don't remember?" Toya cocked her head in curiosity.
"I don't know what I'm supposed to remember. The last few weeks have been a blur to me." the raven haired girl replied standing up so that she was in front of Danny. She swayed a bit and Danny grabbed her shoulders to steady her.
"What happened?" Sam asked with her eyelids half closed.
"You mean to tell me you can't remember?" Danny asked surprised.
"Bits and pieces."
"Don't worry. I'm sure it'll all come back to you and even if it doesn't it might be a good thing because you might stay forever red in the face if you do." Aly grinned.
"On second thought I don't want to know. Wait what am I wearing?" Sam looked down to see herself clad in black hip hugger jeans and a see through black lace top with flared sleeves and her stomach showing. Underneath looked like a bikini bra that was visible with the see through top and made her cleavage look bigger. It was much less conservative than what she remembered wearing.
Danny shook his head. "Don't even ask, but Aly nearly had a heart attack when you put it on the other day."
Sam blinked and Aly noticed a blush hadn't crossed her face.
"Are we sure she's back to normal?" Tucker asked.
"Only one way to find out." Aly said steeping behind Danny and pushing him into Sam making them both loose their balance and fall backwards on the bed, with Danny on top.
The icing on the cake... Danny had been looking into Sam's face so when Aly pushed them he accidentally kissed her. At that moment Jazz walked in and nearly screamed in shock at the sight before her. Sam immediately pushed Danny off and stood up with her face red as a fire hydrant and Danny's just as.
"If you two wanted some time together you could have at least waited until we left the room." Came Ember's voice though she didn't take over Aly's body.
If it were possible Sam's cheeks darkened and she put her hands on her cheeks to hide it. "I can't believe you did that Aly," she squeaked.
"Yeap she's back." Tucker laughed.
"Oh I am so going to kick both of your a-," Sam was cut off by Jazz.
"Not around Toya."
"Well, almost back to normal at any rate." Aly grinned as she took off down the hall of the huge mansion with Tucker before Sam or Danny could grab them and turn them inside out... literally.
-.oOOo.-
Alesia laughed as she watched it from Clockwork's castle in the ghost zone.
"I told you she would be alright. They keep each other in check. I wouldn't worry. Samantha is going to go which ever path Daniel goes. He's like her guide and in addition with the crystal I wouldn't worry about her becoming an evil tyrant. It's not like the other time line. They've gone far past that point. I doubt that will happen again." Alesia said to the master of time as she glanced back at the beat up thermos on the table.
"I'm still concerned though. We never did find where her other self disappeared to after last years event when we played with time." Clockwork said shifting from a young man to an old one.
"Time is never set in stone Clockwork. You know that better than I. It's based on the choices we make that we determine the most likely future to happen and deem it a person's future." Alesia looked down as the time switched to a different time and she smiled at it.
"True, true, only her choices will enable time to tell what she does next." Clockwork agreed and the two stayed silent unaware that the person who was about to prove that statement correct was on her way.
-.oOOo.-
It's all done. Yay! I barely finished it. I was so tired and wanting to get to the next one in this series, but I did it. Here's your sneak peek for the next installment. The end hints to what it is and if you don't figure it out, may god help you:
Phoenix pushed the thoughts out her head as she went into the Time Master's castle. She drifted through it and found the place she was looking for easily enough. It was the room Clockwork watched time, but she had no interest in what was going to happen in the future. There was only one thing she wanted and that was the thermos on the table where Clockwork could keep a close eye on it.
Phoenix picked it up and shook it.
"Dan, are you in there?"
"I was beginning to think that you would never come and I would have to stay in this think for the rest of my afterlife." Dan's emotionless, cold, lifeless voice came through the metal container.
"I came didn't I? I could have just let you rot in there." Phoenix said before opening the container and Dan came out.
He looked at his hand turning it back and forth. "Finally, Now I can get my revenge on that-."
Phoenix cut him off. "It's enough of that Dan. No more killing for the heck of it. It's over. Your past self is much more powerful than last time you met and this time he's got a partner."
"Who?" Dan asked.
"My past self." Phoenix replied simply.
Now the sequel won't be here for three months or so. Hey, a girl needs a break and if you had no clue I was a girl, you really need to work on your observational skills. Haven't you read my pen name. Okay sorry, I'm just as sarcastic as Sam but with a smart mouth. I have a sarcastic and smart remark for everything so please just dismiss that. R&R.
