Chapter 10
The students were given an hour break to get something to eat and take a rest. Danny sat with kitty and skulker as usual. He looked around with a worried look. "What's wrong Danny?" Kitty asked putting down her salad. Danny kept looking around but answered anyway. "wheres Desiree?" he asked with a concerned tone. Skulker smiled. "in the teachers lounge with walker no doubt getting chewed out." He explained taking a bite of pizza. Danny sighed in relief. "thank goodness." He said scarfing down fries and a burger. He swallowed and smiled. "today is awesome don't you agree?" he asked getting a strange look from kitty and skulker. "I mean after this fight I wont have to worry about Desiree anymore." He said pumping his fists in the air. skulker smiled. "There's more to it than that Danny." He said taking a sip of his milkshake. Danny looked at him puzzled. "Whaddya mean skulker?" he asked.
Kitty smiled taking her boyfriend's arm. "Skulker lost to vortex because he was saving you the trouble of being assigned to Desiree." She said taking a bite out of a cookie. Danny looked at them both now more confused than ever. Skulker spoke up. "when he and I were fighting he had the upper hand he shocked me and rusted me everything." As he said this took another sip of his milkshake. Danny listened with interest.
Flashback.
Skulker was pounded into the ground and was held there by vortex. "cmon skull for brains. Get up and fight." Skulker tried as he might couldn't get up. Vortexes strength was too much for him. Vortex grabbed skulker by the neck and smiled. "tell me whats your girlfriends name again?" he asked skulker now in fear. "cuz im going to be making her my partner after round two." He explained. Skulkers mind was racing in anger rage what would Danny do at a time like this? All at once an idea popped into his head. He gritted his teeth pretending to be angered. "you'll stay away from Desiree or ill snap your neck." He said fake venom in his voice. Vortex grinned. "so Desiree is her name huh?" he asked face full of joy. He then grabbed skulker and with one mighty toss chucked him out of the ring.
Present.
Danny and kitty were laughing. "and he bought it?" Danny asked wiping a tear from his eyes. Skulker smiled. "yep he was so busy talking on his phone he didn't even notice the names when the board announced the fights." He said chuckling. Danny smiled. "so what do I owe ya for this brave deed you have done?" he said chuckiling. Skulker thought about it for a while and smiled. "how bout kitty and I join you for the game this Sunday. Danny smiled. "sure why not." He said with cheer in his voice. Packers verses the bears was this weekend. "ill talk to my dad about it he probably wont mind anyway." He said grinning.
His eyes quickly turned to ember walking in. she took a seat far away from the other students. Danny picked up his tray and dumped the food. He walked up and sat on the opposite side of ember. She looked up and jumped back so that she fell off her seat. Danny rushed up. "I am so sorry ember I just wanted to talk." He said grabbing her hand. She shook his hand away from hers and glared. "are you out of your mind plasmius.?" She hissed. "hey I said I was sorry." He said folding his arms. "I just wanted to give you a few pointers in our fight coming up." He said putting his hands in his pockets.
Ember was taken aback by this but quickly returned to anger. "look dipstick I don't need pointers." She said adding a bit of venom in the last word. Danny shrugged and reached into his pocket. He pulled out a small box and handed it to her. She looked at it with confusion and looked up at Danny. "that hoodie is getting in the way of your vision behind you and on the sides." He said now pointing to the box. "whats in there will help you out." Before she could ask Dannys was being called back to his friends.
Ember opened it up to see a hair tie made of pure ice. She stared at it for a long time. She took off the hoodie and all at once her hair went crazy like a bonfire. She grabbed the tie and tied her hair in a ponytail. She looked in the reflection of the vending machine and smiled. "I look pretty." She said giggling. She looked at Danny who was talking to his friends. She sighed sadly. "I think beating him up is going to be harder than I thought." She said as she made her way to the arena.
Danny and his friends made their way to the arena just in time to see ember enter the ring. Kitty smiled. "well its now or never." Danny looked at the board to see that he would be fighting against kitty. Skulkers face went pale white until kitty gave him a kiss on the cheek. "don't worry skulky Ill be fine." She said smiling. Danny looked up and much to his delight saw he would be fighting ember next. "you know I think its akward the way you two act around eachother." Kitty said getting a look from Danny. "whats that supposed to mean?" he asked. kitty shook her head and skulker face palmed himself. Kitty was about to answer when the bell rang for the fight to start.
Danny flew out towards the ring and as soon as he was above the ring transformed into his ghost form and freefalled into the ring. He landed on one knee and use one arm to brace himself. He looked to see ember with her guitar strapped to her back and her hair in a ponytail. "I see youre using my advice." He said smiling. Ember glared but slowly smiled back. "don't you go thinking that were on good terms because of this dipstick." She said throwing her hoodie in the air and blasting it with blue flame coming out of her hand. At that moment Pandora flew down and once again placed herself between the two.
"welcome to the first of the partners assignment match." She said receiving applause. As soon as it died down she spoke up again. "this is how the rules work. Unlike the last matches you will have ten minutes to knock your opponent out of the ring." She said pointing up at the board. "when you lose the match you will be assigned by random. When you win the match you will be given the option to either choose your combat partner or you may wait to be assigned." With that she turned to face Danny and ember. "are you two ready?" Dannys heart lept as he nodded. Ember did the same. Pandora grinned as she teleported out of the ring. And with that the match begun.
Ember flew towards Danny guitar raised ready to smash dannys skull in. Danny raised his hand up and created a small square ectoshield. Ember brought her guitar smashing down to the field throwing Danny back. He looked and in shock saw a crack in his shield. "she cracked my forcefield." He said to himself in shock. Ember saw in shock as Danny was still standing. "he survived that?" she asked herself in shock. Ember then flew at him again swinging her guitar only to have Danny dodge it. He then brought his elbow brining it down on the neck of the guitar(ember brought it up in a defensive position.) Danny flew back rubbing his arm. "that hurt." He said in pain. Ember looked up smiling but her smile disappeared when she saw a crack on the guitars neck. "he cracked the neck of my guitar?" she asked.
Kitty and skulker watched in awe as they saw their friend and his opponent going at it. "its like theyre one step ahead of eachother." Kitty said as Danny blocked a hit and ember doing the same. Skulker nodded. "that's not it. Theyre both holding back." Kitty looked at skulker in shock. "why would they?" she asked in disbelieve. Skulker smiled. "this is Danny were talking about. Hes always trying to do the good guy thing." He said explaining himself. "he didn't hit Desiree because he wasn't trying to." He said folding his arms.
Kitty questioningly looked at her boyfriend. Skulker continued. "and now hes doing the same with ember." He finished explaining. Kitty shook her head. "okay we know why Danny is holding back but why Is ember holding back? From what we saw she hates Danny." She said watching the match. Skulker smiled. "im not sure she does." He said getting a strange look from kitty. "what do you mean skulker?" she asked. skulker laughed. "do you remember why we used to fight a lot in the 2nd grade kitty? Why you used to tease me a lot?" kitty smiled. "yeah its because i…" she stopped. It hit her like a train wreck. "she likes him?" she asked seeing skulker nodding.
Danny and ember punched and dodged each others hits with only 2 minutes to go on the timer. Both were out of breath and were running out of energy. Ember looked up and smirked. "whats wrong dipstick getting tired already?" she asked laughing. Danny returned the wise crack. "well look whos talking." He said getting in another fighting stance. Ember prepared herself as well. Danny charged up the last bit of energy he could gather up and released his ghostly wail. Ember quickly countered it with a powerful guitar riff. At the moment the two hits collided the force was so great it knocked the two teens out of the ring.
The school watched in shock as both Danny and ember hit the ground at the same time. Ember landed on her back her guitar landing next to her. Danny also landed on his back changing back to his human form. The class erupted with applause of both teens. Kitty and skulker ran up to help Danny. And fright knight helped ember up. He then flew into the ring silencing all of the students. "it seems that we have a tie." He said causing the whole arena to fall into dead silence. He looked up at clockwork. Danny walked up to where the fright knight was. "clockwork what happens now?" Danny asked. ember appeared next to him. "yeah who won?" she asked the time ghost. Clockwork only smiled. "it was in fact a tie. So congratulations to both of you." He said causing the school to erupt in applause.
Danny and ember looked at each other with confusion. Clockwork raised his hand quieting down the arena. "the rules state that If the match is a tie then it is up to the headmaster to decide the outcome of the match." He said floating down to the two teens. He smiled. And then turned them to face the crowd. "and I say phantom academy say hello to the new battle pair Danny plasmius and ember mclain." Dannys gut twisted and embers heart lept out of her chest. Kitty and skulker both stood in shock not knowing what was going to happen next. Desiree broke down into tears. Clockwork then raised both teens arms in the air. Danny and ember looked at each other only to realize they had just been assigned as battle partners.
Well might I just say im glad so many of you saw this coming. I had planned to pair Danny and ember together anyway. But im glad many of us were on the same page. Just to be clear im not sure when ill be able to update but hopefully it will be soon. So until then to be continued in Danny plasmius at phantom academy.
