Last Time:

It was Clockwork's turn to look away, ashamed. "Your brother has it. He's using Dan Phantom in this war." My blood run cold and thoughts swirled around in my head. No, no, no. It can't be happening; it just can't be happening. Darkness swam in front of my eyes, rendering me unconscious. My vision was blurred, but I was able to see as Clockwork's expression turned from one of shame to a look of surprise before I finally closed my eyes and hit the floor.

Battle of the Century

Chapter Five- A Few Memories

I woke up to see Clockwork, in ancient form, staring at me, concerned. "You need to be more careful, Lily," he said. "If you let stress build up like that, it really affects your body."

I slowly got up, my head throbbing. "Oops. I guess I'm stressed out from this war." I sighed deeply. "I'm just extremely confused by everything. One minute, I'm fighting with Black Thorn, the next; I'm in Amity Park in the middle of a war." Just then, my eyes went wide. "Clockwork, what's going on? Something happened between the fight with Black Thorn and now. What happened?" I frantically asked.

Clockwork gave one of his mysterious smiles. "That, Lily, is for me to know and you to find out."

Ugh! I hate it when he does this, I mentally moaned. "Why can't you tell me? You don't understand how confused I am! Nothing makes sense, Clockwork, so why can't you tell me?" I was so mixed-up right now. I was mad Clockwork couldn't tell me anything, scared that Dan Phantom was loose, and extremely concerned about everything in general.

He put a hand on my shoulder in a comforting gesture, changing form to his younger self. "Lily, I can't tell you everything that you want and need to know. If I reveal too much, it will…"

"…change the course of time," I finished for him.

"Exactly. I'm sorry about this. I know you need this information. All I can say is that everything will reveal itself in time."

I gave him a tight-lipped smile and nodded my head ever so slightly. Slowly, I floated out of Clockwork's tower to go back to the Fenton portal. Something then sparked inside of me. Why don't I check out Vlad's portal? Maybe there will be some answers there. I changed course and started to head in the direction of the Masters' portal. I recognized a few of the lairs as I passed them, remembering when Dad took me into the Ghost Zone. He always gave me tours for when I finally developed my ghost powers. He always said, "If you get your ghost powers. Too bad he's not here now. A deep sigh settled in my mind. Taking a look to my right, I saw Skulker's lair and the door to the Box Ghost's lair. I quietly laughed, remembering when Dad took me to visit the Box Ghost.

Flashback (8 years ago)

"Dad, where are we going?" I asked. I gripped his hand tightly, not wanting to be lost in the Ghost Zone.

"We're going to visit the Box Ghost," he answered.

"You mean the guy who always says 'Beware!', but you always end up beating him and sucking him into the Fenton thermos?" I curiously questioned.

Dad laughed at my explanation. "Yes, Lily, that's the Box Ghost," he said between laughs. We reached his door, and Dad slowly opened it.

"Why are you opening it slowly, Dad?"

"The last time I visited the Box Ghost, things started to fly out of his lair the minute I opened the door." As soon as he said that, boxes and other miscellaneous junk flew out of the door. "See?" He then got clonked in the head by a box. "Ow," Dad muttered. I laughed at my dad's predicament. The Box Ghost then peered out of the doorway.

"Beware Danny Phantom and little girl! I am the Box Ghost!" he shouted.

Dad groaned and I laughed again. "Box Ghost, this is my daughter, Lily." I gave a small wave.

The Box Ghost screamed. "Is she a Phantom as well?" He shook slightly.

"No," my dad curtly said. I looked away, ashamed. I was a Fenton, but I still didn't have the Phantom half. I hoped that I got it soon.

Box Ghost gave a sigh of relief. "You may come into the lair of the Box Ghost." He moved to the side and allowed us to come in. When we flew in, I saw many things floating all over the place. There were many boxes, sunglasses, potted plants, books, and other miscellaneous things.

"Wow," I whispered in shock.

"Yes!" the Box Ghost shouted, flying in front of us. "All things lost in the Ghost Zone soon belong to the Box Ghost!" (A/n: I absolutely love that line from "Prisoners of Love"!) As he talked, I saw a pretty necklace fly by me. It had a red jewel hanging from the gold chain. My eyes went wide, and I reached for it. I grasped it tightly and held it close to me.

"It's so pretty," I whispered to myself.

"What is?" Dad asked. Obviously, I hadn't whispered it as quietly as I thought. I showed him the necklace, the jewel glittering from some unknown light source. "Lily, that's not yours," Dad said. "Give it back to the Box Ghost."

"No, it is fine," the Box Ghost said gently. "I have no use for the thing which girls wear so much. You may have it, Lily Fenton."

I beamed at him, extremely happy. "Thank you, Box Ghost."

"You are welcome, Lily Fenton," he replied.

My dad then cut in. "Lily, we need to be getting home soon or else your mom will send Gramps and Grandma Fenton after us"

I nodded my head silently and followed him out of the Box Ghost's lair. "Goodbye, Danny Phantom and Lily Fenton!" he shouted. I waved goodbye before being led out of the Box Ghost's lair and the Ghost Zone by Dad.

End Flashback

I still have the necklace. It's somewhere in my old house, somewhere in my old room. I remembered that Dad refused to show me Skulker's and Ember's lairs. "If it's too dangerous, we aren't going to see it. You don't have your ghost powers, if you ever get any, so you'd be too vulnerable." I had argued, but he had stayed firm on his answer. I wondered where exactly everyone was now. I also hoped that none of my enemies were in the Ghost Zone, or I would be dead. I saw a castle that seemed to be in the middle of the Ghost Zone. If I remembered right, that was where Pariah Dark was sleeping in the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep.

"I hope he's still sleeping there," I muttered to myself. Dad had told me the battle with him had been fierce. He had nearly lost his life because of the Fenton Exo-Skeleton. I remembered his words that day…

Flashback (About 8 years ago as well)

"Lily, always remember that having ghost powers is a great responsibility, but it can also be your greatest downfall. I nearly lost my life a few times fighting against these ghosts. I fought against Pariah Dark, the ghost king who nearly ruled over Amity Park. I fought against my future self Dark Dan. He nearly killed Mr. Lancer, Aunt Jazz, Gramps, Grandma, your godfather Tucker, your mom, and me. He's locked up in the Fenton thermos right now, so we should be safe. Freakshow was another person I nearly lost my life to. He's not a ghost, but he had something called the Reality Gauntlet. It had the Gem of Fantasy, the Gem of Form, and the Gem of Life. (A/n: I hope I'm remembering that right.)

"I destroyed it, though, so we shouldn't be seeing it anytime soon. Clockwork tried to kill me as well before my fight with Dan. Gramps and Grandma used to try and kill me or rip me apart molecule by molecule as Gramps put it before they found out that I was Danny Phantom. Thank God they know now, or I would have been dead by now. I really hope you don't get your ghost powers, and your mom agrees with me. If you do, though, I'll always be there to help you, okay?"

End Flashback

A few tears shined in my eyes before I brushed them away with the back of my light purple colored glove. Soon enough, I saw Vlad's portal, or should I say the football blocking Vlad's portal. (A/n: Sorry, just had to use that. I thought it was hilarious!)

"It looks like Drake picked up on a few things from Vlad," I mumbled. I remember Dad said that Vlad was obsessed with the Green Bay Packers, so it looks like Drake loves football now as well. I needed to check out the Masters portal, so I went against the green and gold colored football and pushed as hard as I could. Damn, this thing is heavy! After a while, I finally had it moved out of the way. I slowly flew into Vlad's portal, ready for anything that was on the other side, even if it meant I had to face my brother.

Hope you like the chapter! I will try to update A.S.A.P. Later! R&R please!
