Well everyone today is the day the day of combat you all have been waiting for. We will find out the rank of some of our characters and possibly next chapter the pairing of combat partners. As I have read in a few of the comments you all want Danny paired up with ember. Well im not sure. Give me a few good reasons why they should be paired up in the comments. Let me say this chapter and the next one will be longer than the others. I do not own Danny phantom or its characters.
Chapter 8
Danny and his friends talked until fright knight and Pandora appeared in the middle of the ring. "everyone please quiet down." Pandora roared. Everyone all stood quietly so they could speak. "now then now that we have everyone's attention." Pandora said pointing up at the board above them. "this board will for now determine your sparing partners for this round." Fright knight explained. Pandora then spoke up. "this will not be your combat partners assignment this will simply determine your rank here at phantom academy. There are four total." She then raised her top left hand pointing to each finger. "4th class 3rd class and 2nd class and finally 1st class."
She said putting down her hand and raising her lower right hand. "first class meaning that so far you are the top of the food chain here at the school and fourth meaning the lowest." Fright knight then spoke up. "determining your rank will then depend on who you fight in the second round. Who ever wins the 2nd round is given the choice to pick their partners." Pandora spoke up. "those who lose the match will sit on the bench outside the ring to await being chosen." She said smiling. They then both looked at the students with joyful voices. "good luck to you all." They both said as they disappeared into flames. Danny and his friends looked up in time to see the scoreboard lighting up as faces danced around the screen. Danny felt his heart leap out of his chest with excitement.
Suddenly they all came to a stop dannys eyes scanned the board over. Kitty was going to fight boxlunch.(kitty is vomiting in the background by the way.) skulker was fighting vortex much to skulkers excitement. Ember was going to fight a Penelope spectra. And he…..his heart sunk down to his stomach he fought back the urge to throw up again. He was to his horror fighting Desiree. He felt skulkers hand on his shoulder. "dude I am so sorry." He said patting Danny on the back. Dannys face turned from as sulking frown to an evil grin. He started to chuckle then laugh and laugh somemore. Skulker and kitty looked at eachother with a worried look.
Danny stopped and looked at them both. "this is fantastic." He said smiling bringing them both in a hug. He noticed their confused expressions. "don't you guys see if I beat Desiree then I wont be assigned to her." He said flying backwards like a looney cartoon character. He then flew down and looked at his watch and the scoreboards. "I gotta get moving my battles up shortly." He turned and faced kitty and skulker. "good luck with your fights guys." Skulker looked at his girlfriend with an odd look. "do you think he needs a straight jacket?" he asked only to have kittys shrug as an answer.
Danny reached the entrance and was just about to open the door. "hey dipstick." He turned to see ember glaring at him with an evil grin. He smiled back the same way. "so what can I do for you ember?" he asked smiling. Ember grinned flipping the bangs out of her left eye. "just saying you better get out of this fight alive dipstick." She said popping her knuckles. "cuz I might still be hungry after your fight with walkers niece." Danny had a look of shock on his face. "wait Desiree is walkers niece?" he asked pointing his thumb in the direction of the arena.
Ember nodded. "yep so better make it out alive. I want to see how really strong you are." She said adjusting her hoodie. Danny smiled wickedly. "no problem and be ready because im not going easy on you just because youre a girl." Embers faced flushed red as she smiled. "ill take that as a compliment." Danny walked up to the door and put his hand on the switch. He then turned to see ember walking away. "hey ember." She turned to face him. "I know you and I don't really get along that well but thanks." He said smiling. Ember smiled back. "no problem babypop. And If you want to know a way to beat Desiree heres a hint." Danny turned to face her completely. "when all else fails make a wish." Danny was about to ask her what she meant when she turned on her heels.
Danny flew out towards the ring and landed on the right side of the arena. He looked to see Desiree in a grey battle outfit. She smiled. "hey Danny. Like what you see?" She asked slyly putting her hands on her hips. Danny fought back his breakfast that was trying to fight its way out of his stomach. "Hello Dez. And to be honest no I don't see Victoria justice in front of me." He said frowning. Desiree giggled. Kitty and skulker both face palmed themselves. Ember sat right behind them. "shes so stupid she doesn't realize it's a diss." She said to herself. Pandora appeared in flames in between the two teens. "well then are you two ready?" she asked. both teens nodded. Pandora turned to Danny and smiled. "well young plasmius are you ready?" she asked. Danny smiled and nodded. "if I might say really quick maam." Pandora cocked her head. "its an honor to meet one of the legendary figures of the ghost zone."
Pandora smiled. "thank you Daniel and thank you for your manners." She then bellowed. "and now the first of the battles. On my left is Desiree Asari." Desiree blew kisses and smiled as the crowd applauded. "and in this corner Danny plasmius." Dannys gut tightend. "well its now or never." He said quietly. He walked up feeling the looks of hundreds of kids watching him. He then stuck out his arms outward. "going ghost." He bellowed at the top of his lungs. The crowd roared as the blue white rings separated revealing his jumpsuit and hoodie. He then walked up smiling. Pandora smiled back. She turned to face the crowd. "now let me explain the rules of combat." She turned to face the board and pointed to it.
"the matches will be timed you both have at least 5 minutes to knock your opponent out of the ring. The person who wins this round will advance to the next battle." She turned to face the bleachers behind her. "the loser will take a seat over there and await to be chosen by a winning teammate in round two." She then flew up in the air and faced everyone. "let the match begin." At that moment Pandora disappeared and Danny readied himself.
Danny made the first move and teleported behind Desiree hoping to get an advantage. Desiree smashed her elbow into his ribs. Danny stepped back and held it in only to get back into action. He flew as fast as he could throwing a punch and a kick only to have desiree dodge both and deck Danny hard in the face knocking him over. Before he could get back up a larger hand the size of a minivan grabbed him and started squeezing the afterlife out of him. He followed it realizing it belonged to desiree. She smiled menacingly as she brought him close to her face.
"Since theres only two more minutes until times up Danny ill answer those questions going on in that cute little head of yours." She said sweetly. Danny struggled to get free only to realize she was too strong. She smiled. "do you know what my power is Danny my sweet?" she asked. Danny threw up in his mouth. "you see Im a genie as you could tell. But I was up all night granting wishes near a wishing well in the human world." She said smiling. "the more wishes I grant the more powerful I get." She raised Danny higher in the air and dropped him in the air. he then felt her hand smash him down into the ground. At that moment he screamed in pain.
Ember watched in horror as Danny struggled to get free of desirees grip. "cmon babypop fight back do something." She said putting her hands to her mouth. Danny fought with all his might to get free but with no luck. "is there anyway to get free at all?" he asked himself in his head. "just how many wishes did she grant last night?" at that moment it hit him. Embers clue. "hey dezzy" she looked at him immediately at being called that. "how bout you grant me a wish. I wish everyone here except you and me had earplugs." He said smiling. Desiree having no choice snapped her fingers. Danny looked around smiling at his handywork looked at desiree. She looked down at him just in time to get an earful of a blast of sound coming from Danny.(ghostly wail.)
Ember watched in awe as desiree dropped Danny who was now floating in the air and started floating backwards covering her ears. She then saw Danny clone himself into 4 copies who joined in the attack. Desiree then tripped and fell out of the ring. The crowd cheered as Danny floated down and merged his clones together. Pandora appeared next to Danny smiling. "ladies and gentleman our first winner Danny plasmius. As the crowd roared and applauded more and more Danny could only smile as he passed out on the ground.
