Chapter 19
Danny and Ember both braced themselves for the battle. Dannys heart was racing for once he was going to have to go all out and not hold back this time. He turned to ember who was shaking. Danny put his hand her her shoulder. She looked over to see him smiling. "don't worry you'll do great." He said. as soon as he turned away facing Vortex and Desiree Embers face turned as red as a tomato. At that moment the bell rang for the match to begin.
Desiree charged with Vortex behind her. Danny and Ember braced themselves at they all collided. Vortex threw punches at Danny repeatedly. He looked up and to his surprise wasn't doing anything. Danny smiled. "that all you got?" he then turned to Ember who was dodging Desiree's attacks. He turned back to Vortex and grabbed him by the neck only to be smashed into the ground. "hey dipstick!" Danny turned and smiled to see Ember holding Desiree down. "Tag up?" she suggested smirking. Danny smiled. "tag up." In that instant both teleported to where the partner was. Danny was on top of Desiree.(my little brother says that's what he said.) and Ember held Vortex down with her guitar on his neck.
"you!" Desiree growled at Danny. Danny smirked. "so wanna do me a favor?" he asked reciveing a confused look from Desiree. He smiled. "I wish you and Vortex were weaker than you already are." He said grinning deviously. Desiree's eyes widened. "No no no." She reapeted raising her hand. She hated this power although she granted wishes she had to grant every wish she heard. With one snap of her fingers she felt herself getting weaker. Vortex felt the same. His wind powers were giving out and he couldn't fight Ember anymore. Danny picked Desiree up by the arm and threw her in the middle of the ring. Ember did the same with Vortex. They both got on a corner of the cage. They both nodded at eachother and at that moment Danny released his most loudest ghostly wail and Ember struck an enormous power chord. Desiree and Vortex both tried covering their ears to block out the sound. But with no prevail both gave up.
Danny fell to the floor holding the side of his head. using his ghostly wail had left him half drained. At that moment he felt himself being smashed against the cage. He looked into the burning eyes of Desiree. "you think you can get rid of me Danny think again." She sneered punching him in the gut. "if I cant have you." She raised her hand as a large energy ball grew and grew in her hand. "nobody can." Danny looked into her eyes seeing nothing but insanity. All at once Desiree was smashed into the edge next to Danny and he was pulled out of her grip. He looked over to see Ember full of rage. "keep your slimy hands off of my partner you obsessive bitch!" she growled connecting her fist with Desirees jaw.
The crowd cheered as Desiree fell unconscious on the floor. Danny smiled as Ember put his arm over her shoulder as the cage disappeared. Kitty and skulker both flew down to help Danny get to the nurses office. "you guys did great." Kitty squealed. Skulker grinned at Danny and Ember. "I owe you guys big time." He said smiling. Danny smiled back at skulker. "just get me a freakin coke and well call it even." He smiled looking over at ember. She smiled back. "well done you two." They all turned to see Pandora and the Fright knight. "you did well in teamwork and in ethic." Pandora said grinning. Fright knight clapped his hands. "I must say young plasmius I was hesitant towards you at first but." He paused for awhile until he put his fist over his heart. "you both have my respect." He said heartily. Danny smiled.
Desiree watched as Vortex picked her up. Her eyes fell on ember with pure hatred. "mark my words mclain I will get even with you for stealing my Danny from me." She said in her head. Vortex looked over at her quietly. "I know what your thinking." He said. Desiree looked over and raised an eyebrow. "and count me in." he said smiling. Desiree grinned. "just wish we were healed and then we have work to do." She said raising her hand. As soon as they were out of sight from the shadows a pair of yellow eyes had watched the whole thing. "this is not good." Said a voice.
Danny walked out of the nurses office later that day. "just remember Danny drink plenty of fluids." The nurse said smiling. Danny smiled back. "no problem and thanks." As he turned around Skulker and Kitty were both in the waiting room smiling. "you really slaughtered them dude." Skulker said smiling. Danny grinned as skulker held out a can of coke. "thanks. And just so were clear were cool." He said giving skulker a thumbs up. They reached the exit where Ember was waiting. Kitty turned to Danny. "so what the heck is going on with you two?" she asked folding her arms. Danny raised an eyebrow. "what do you mean?" he asked. Skulker spoke up. "you two were at eachothers throats and now you guys were acting like nothing happened." Danny looked at them both with a wide grin.
Ember went over to the corner and listened in on dannys conversation with his friends. "guys shes not that bad a person." She heard him say. Goosebumps shook all over her. "she threatened to kill you dude." Skulker replied. Her heart stopped until Danny spoke up. "look guys I know we both got off on the wrong foot but cmon I trust her. I don't care if you guys don't." Ember could feel her ghostly heart melt. "he does trust me then." She thought to herself. "its not that we don't trust her Danny." She heard kitty say. "its that we don't want you getting hurt again." Ember raised an eyebrow in confusion. "hurt again?" she asked herself. Kitty spoke up. "look Danny I didn't want to tell you this but…" silence fell and dropped like a bomb. Embers breathing increased its pace.
"I had a talk with pandora and clockwork earlier and they all agree with me." Ember couldn't take it anymore. "she knows I like him well no one is going to tell him but me." She thought in her head as she turned the corner. "hey Danny. Oh." She pretended to look surprised. "Im not interrupting anything am i?" she asked. before kitty could answer Danny interrupted. "no not at all Ember we were just talking." He said turning to his friends. Ember smiled sweetly. "okay so are we still on for today then?" she asked. Danny nodded. "yep the sooner we get that project done the better." He said smiling. He turned to his friends waving. "see you guys." And with that Danny and Ember left the school leaving kitty and Skulker shocked.
