chapter 42.

clockwork along with xemit and the other teachers watched as the tensions grew in the ring and the real battle hadn't started yet. "this should be interesting." Clockwork said winding up a switch on his staff. Xemit nodded. "yes I can already tell that young plasmius is getting tensed up." He said smiling. Clockwork turned to walker who was shaking horribly. "is something the matter walker?" he jumped as he looked at the headmaster. "not at all sir." He replied. Clockwork frowned. "don't worry no harm shall come to miss mclain and plasmius. If anything theyre more than ready for this fight." He said causing walker to calm down. "how are things with your niece by the way?" Xemit asked. Walker frowned. "about to get ugly." He said to himself not even answering the time and space duo.

Danny stretched his legs and arms readying himself. Ember doing the same. He then grew a smile on his face. "hey Ember I have an idea." She looked over at him and grew a smile. "whats that dipstick?" she asked. Danny popped his neck as he continued. "how bout this whoever lands the most hits on Desiree wins dinner tonight?" Ember smiled. "or who ever can make her explode first?" she suggested making them both laugh. "sounds good to me." Danny said smiling. Ember smiled back. At that moment clockwork flew down from the teachers box and landed in the middle of the ring.

"welcome students to the first elimination battle of the year." He announced causing the school to erupt in cheers and shouts. Clockwork waited for it to die down before he continued. "allow me to say. The reason we have these battles is to determine who stays at phantom academy and who leaves." He said grimly. The school remained quiet. He then turned to face the two teams. "now then allow me to say we have two very powerful pairs here. However only one will stay." Danny and Ember looked at eachother in shock. "you mean to say if Ember and I lose that we can never attend school here ever again?" he asked full of shock. Clockwork nodded. "so that there is no rising tention between the two teams." He continued on causing Dannys jaw to drop. Clockwork flew up into the air and with a mighty yell bellowed. "let the battle commence!"

Danny and Ember braced themselves as the terrible two sprinted towards them. Danny and Ember both flew opposite directions of eachother to avoid the hits. Vortex aimed for Danny while Desiree aimed for Ember. Danny dodged all of Vortexes lightning bolts and freeze blasts only to have his jaw met with Danny fist. Vortex shook it off grabbing Danny by the face and slamming him down on the ground. "cmon plasmius whats wrong head still hurt?" Skulker and Kitty watched in horror as Vortex continued on with smashing Danny continually into the ground. He then slammed dannys head into his knee and punched him in the ribs. "have to say Ive wanted to do that for a while now." He said laughing.

Ember slammed Desiree into a corner and turned to see Danny fully unconscious. "Danny!" she shrieked. She was about to fly ahead and help her boyfriend until she felt something grab her leg and fling her into the ground. Desiree was cackling. "oh how cute you think you can help your boyfriend?" she asked causing Ember to scowl. She smirked. "well don't worry after this is all over im going to enjoy getting all the attention of the school. And then Danny will be mine. All I have to do is have Vortex wish our partners were switched." Embers hair flared up even more as she swung her guitar missing every hit.

Vortex smiled as he slammed his foot onto dannys chest. "any last words plasmius?" he asked creating a large electric ball the size of a bus into his hands. Danny could whispered something but vortex couldn't hear it. "what was that?" he asked. Danny smirked raising his hands. "going ghost." He muttered. At once something began to change in the arena. A large bright light grew brighter and brighter until the ring was engulfed with light. After a while vortex uncovered his eyes only to have it replaced with horror.

Desiree smiled as she held Ember over the ring. "now all I have to do is drop you and it will all be over." She said smiling. Ember tried to loosen from her enemies grip only to have no prevail. Desiree was at once grabbed by the neck and flung into the air followed by a barrage of Ecto blasts one after the other. Ember looked up only to see a strange looking ghost. His face was a pale white along with his hair which like hers was ablaze. He turned to face ember smiling. "you okay Em?" Ember gasped with shock. "Danny?" he nodded smiling.

Pandora watched in shock as the new improved Danny helped his girlfriend onto her feet. "what on earth happened to him?" she asked full of shock. She turned to see Xemit laughing. "the ring I gave him is meant for one thing. It shows the world what we really are." He turned to Pandora smiling. "you see Danny is a warm hearted boy. So if I were to give the ring to him his power increases by one million fold." He then saw the confusion in her face. "the ring works better with those who have good intentions. Danny protects others. The more pure the soul is that owns the ring. The more powerful they become." Clockwork nodded in agreement. "and so far Danny is the most pure one here in the entire school."

Desiree looked up from the ground glaring at Danny. "you insolent little bastard!" she shrieked charging at Danny. She had the wind knocked out of her as her stomach was met with Dannys knee and then his fist slamming her into the ground. She looked through swollen eyes to see Danny smirking. He picked her up by the hair knowing full well she couldn't do much in her weakened state. "listen close Desiree cuz I want you to hear me now." Desiree shook with fear not knowing what to expect. He continued on. "I wish your obsession over me was gone. I also wish you never remembered any of this and me." He said smirking. Desiree could only burst into tears as she waved her hand causing a white light to shine around the arena.

When it died down. She got up and looked around. "what the hell happened to me?" she asked. Ember was confused at what Danny was up to until he walked up to her. "do you know who I am?" he asked. she looked at him full of curiosity as she shook her head. "no cant say that I do." She answered. Ember was about to say something until Danny spoke up. "Im here to let you know youre being transferred to another school. Youre going to be the top student at that school understand?" she looked at him comprehending what he was saying only to nod in agreement. "okay." She answered flying out of the ring. The whole school was lost for words until the silence was replaced by one set of hands clapping. Danny and Ember looked up to see clockwork followed by Xemit and the rest of the staff applauding. And soon the whole school joined in. they both smiled as they took their respective bows. Danny looked around and smiled at Ember. "any good ideas for a grand finale?" he asked. she smiled. "I have one." As she said this she put her arms around his neck and he around her waist pulling each other into a longer deeper kiss than they had ever done.

After school.

Danny and Ember walked hand in hand to clockworks office. Both not knowing what to expect only that it was big. As they reached the door Danny looked over at Ember smiling. "ready for this?" he asked. she nodded. "ready as ill ever be." She replied. Danny knocked on the door knocker. "come on in." they heard clockworks voice reply. They walked in to see Xemit along with his father standing side by side. "so the champions appear before us." Xemit said smiling. Both teens beamed. Clockwork floated towards them smiling. "I must congratulate you both on your victory today. And hopefully will choose your rewards wisely." Ember and Danny looked at one another in confusion.

"what rewards clockwork?" Ember asked. the time ghost chuckled. "well that remains totally up to you two actually." He said smiling. Xemit walked up to them both holding two rolled up pieces of paper. "the first choice are these. Certificates that show you've passed every class here at phantom academy." He said unrolling them both. Danny and Embers eyes went wide with shock. The paper then disappeared as Xemit continued on. "or there is a much bigger prize." He said making both teens raise their eyebrows to each other. Clockwork spoke up. "have you two ever considered your futures at all?" he asked. Causing both teens to look at the headmaster with interest.

7 years later.

Danielle flew on her way to her first day. She had grown a lot for her age. She was not the little girl that many of the residents of the ghost zone called cute. But now just plain dangerous. "Phantom academy. Wow." She said as she got a good look at the tall building in front of her. She kept an eye out for anyone she knew and sure enough. "Danni!" she turned to see Rachel and marcus waiting for her at the entrance. "hey guys." She said giving them both hugs. "you enjoy your summer?" marcus asked smiling. Danielle nodded. "yep I trained all summer for this. You wouldn't belive how exhausting it was." She said smiling. The bell rang getting the trios attention. "we better get moving if we don't wanna be late." Rachel said smiling.

They raced through the hallway towards the great hall. However Danielle didn't notice as he ran into something that felt like a brick wall. "im sorry." She looked up and was lost for words. A boy wearing a black jacket with the hood still up looked behind her and smiled. He reached out his hand and helped her up. "you okay?" he asked. Danielle didn't know how to respond. "I uh…um…i…" he laughed. "ill take that as a yes. Names Collin youngblood." He said putting his hand out for a handshake. Danielle took it slowly and replied. "Danni plasmius." Collins eyes widend. "woah woah you mean Danny plasmius's sister?" he asked in awe. She nodded slightly. He smiled. "well now my day just got better. You know I never guessed youd be cuter in person." Danielle turned as red as an apple. At that moment Collin turned to face the doorway. "I guess ill talk to you later then." He said waving. Rachel and marcus stood there laughing.

"dannis got a boyfriend." Rachel teased. Danielle didn't even care at all what her friends said. they took their seats and soon enough the room darkend. Soon the hooded figure clockwork walked down to the pedestal. "welcome to phantom academy one and all." He said reciving loud applause. He raised his hands to cease the noise. He then continued on. "now then I must say before we send you all off to get your scheduels I must first turn the time over to our combat instructors here at phantom academy." He then took a seat by the other teachers. Everyone ducked just in time for a robin blue blurr to fly by and land on the stage. A tall woman stood there. her hair was in a long ponytail now reaching far past her back as well as a black suit with a small yet appropriate black miniskirt. At once white flames erupted next to her and out of the blue came a ghost who Danielle recognized all to well. Mainly because of the smile and the logo on his chest. "hello there one and all." He announced. "my name is Daniel plasmius. This is my wife Ember and we will be your combat instructors." He said causing Danielle to smile. "this year is going to be so much fun."
