Ok for the first time I got nothing to say except, enjoy the chapter.

Chapter Three:

Ember stared at Danny as if he suddenly grew another head; the two remaining ghosts did the same thing, needless to say that she just couldn't get any words out. Her eyes literally bulged out of her eye sockets, she seriously began to think her mind began to play tricks on her again because there was no chance in hell that she heard Phantom timidly utter the words "who are you?" to her.

Danny started to look around the room; he was not even transforming into his alter ego to blast her and the annoying brat into oblivion and try to make a run for it.

Speaking of witch, Youngblood's face told her all she needed to know, the halfa DID ask the question, but it just didn't make any sense, didn't the boy recognize them? Where was that familiar look of determination? Where was the anger that he showed earlier? Why wasn't he yelling at her?.

These and many other questions went trough the rock diva's mind "It's a trick, he's getting sneakier, yeah that's gotta be it, but he's not going to fool me that easily". She hissed mentally.

She thought her mind snorted at her conclusion, Ember scowled darkly and then spoke, getting Danny's attention "Ok dipstick, don't try to mess with me, I am in a TERRIBLE mood right now and if you THINK you can just fool me with your little act you are seriously mistaken!".

Youngblood looked at his "sidekick" he had a face hat said, 'what is going on?' the parrot just shrugged, he had no idea.

Danny in the meantime began to shiver as his ghost sense finally kicked in, he actually seemed… scared of the pale ghost all of the sudden, he looked down at himself again and winced at the site of his battered body, red blood mixed with green ectoplasm were on his arms and stomach, truth be told he couldn't recall ever seeing the green stuff before and that only scared him even more.

"Smooth move Ember you freaked him out, what's next? Telling that he almost died and that his loved ones are nothing more than ashes and that he's all alone his world?"

"Oh just shut it!" She snapped "He's obviously faking, no doubt he wants to trick me so then he can have his little revenge after he's all better"

"Ah good thinking except for one little detail there… didn't YOU told me that you WERE gonna help him heal?"

"Uh yeah but when he was UNCONSCIOUS!!!" She snarled "I really don't think he'll let me even come close to him anyway"

"Then why is he not telling Youngblood to back off then?" Her mind asked smugly.

Ember came back to reality and she saw that in fact Youngblood was sitting at the end of the couch, his parrot on Danny's head looking down at him.

"Um… hi" the raven haired boy tried to start a conversation with them, not noticing their suspicious stares "Can you please tell me what happened?".

"What happened to you? That's what I would like to know, you look like crap."

Ember glared down at Youngblood. "Oh really? And I suppose he was trying to look so nice."

The parrot raised his eyebrow at the sudden outburst, then he looked down at Danny's scared face "Hmm, Well it's obvious from your wounds, your bloody scars and your possibly broken bones that you were in some sort of a fight with some ghost you gob!" The Parrot told him… big mistake.

"WITH A GHOST?!?!?!"

"Duh, what else could have happened?" Youngblood replied. "You didn't think you hurt yourself did you?".

Danny hyperventilates, sweating and trying to calm himself by saying "Ghosts don't exist, Ghosts don't exist, Ghosts don't exist" over and over again, this of course made Ember narrow her eyes and without a care in the world laugh uncontrollably.

Everybody was now looking at her as if she just lost her mind… and considering she sometimes argued with herself it's a wonder it had not happened yet.

"Well of COURSE ghost exist dipstick" She said between fists of laughter "What do you think WE are?"

"Wait… you're a ghost?!" he said in disbelief.

"Uh yeah!" They all said annoyed.

"But… but… you can't be... I mean if you are ghosts then that would mean that you're…."

"Dead?" Ember sneered. "Well I hate to break it to you baby pop but your kind of… a ghost"

Yet another mistake.

"WHAT????!!!! He bellowed "I'M DEAD!!!"

"Ugh, did you hit yourself with something or are you just plain stupid?!" The ten year old asked disgusted.

Ember couldn't help but feel a tidbit of guilt at that, but she quickly regained her composure and glared at the boy in the couch.

"I can't be dead… I can't be dead… I can't be dead" Danny repeated in his mind while he was shaking like a leaf, it was a pathetic sight to behold.

"Would you just drop the freaking act dipstick?!" Ember said mercilessly "You're not fooling anybody!"

"WHAT ACT?!" Danny bellowed in frustration "How can I be a ghost if I don't remember dying?!"

Before the blue haired woman had much time to ponder what was exactly going on, Danny was continuing.

"Wait… Wait a minute!" His voice was rising, a hint of panic discernable.

"Where am I? Who are you?"

Youngblood was about to use his hook to put the boy into a dream world when his parrot stop him.

"Don't do anything yet you idiot!" The skeleton whispered harshly once he got off the hybrid's head "I wanna see if my thoughts are right"

Before the child had a chance to say anything, his sidekick put a rotting paw in his hand to shut whatever he was going to say.

"HMMP! HMMP!".

The animal ignored his "master" and narrowed his eyes waiting for anything that could confirm his suspicions; Fenton's eyes grew even wider as more time elapsed. He looked at the two "pirates" then back at Ember, almost on the verge of having a breakdown, but his self-control was amazing.

The parrot tried a different approach, he sighs and spoke in a deadly calming voice "Look kid, your not the first one to go through this, you just gotta accept the fact, it's true, you're a ghost but technically speaking your not fully dead".

"What… what does that mean?" Danny said now looking at the talking bird.

The Parrot narrowed his eyes "Tell me something whelp" He said "Do you know where you are?"

Danny however ignored the question and keep asking questions "How can I not be fully dead?" he demanded, "I gotta be dead or alive, human or ghost! I just can't be both!"

Well now he lost his self control, the next thing the trio saw was the one who had defeated them do something they never thought would see from him.

He shut his light blue eyes tightly and rolled onto his side, wincing, they all cocked they heads in confusion and it wasn't until the sob escaped seconds later that he along the others realized that… he was crying.

They all realized that this was the first time they had actually seen the teenager show any kind of vulnerability.

Ember who was the one who had witness more than the other two remaining spirits felt the most uncomfortable, seeing someone as strong as him break down like that, to her… It just wasn't right, but it was to be expected, she remembered doing the same thing when she woke up in the Ghost Zone, but that's probably because she KNEW nobody cared when she died.

Here, her mind snorted, she just scowled back "Ugh, WHY am I even trying? Your just too stubborn you know that?!" Her mind raged.

Ember ignored her conscience and keeps her neon green eyes on Phantom, she couldn't believe he broke down that easily, he endured many fights with ghosts that were a lot stronger and scarier than him and here he was defeated by his own emotions.

She eventually came to the conclusion that emotional pain had to be a million times worse than any sort of physical pain, after all Spectra was proof of this, she didn't realize her eyes softening as he boy continued to cry.

he was crying for the reason he actually believed to be true, he thought he died, "It must be frightening not remembering dying" that thought actually scared her, not remembering your life as a human a time when you were happy and trouble free from the responsibilities of an after life, yet as she saw this another more darker thought came to her "He's NOT fully dead remember?!" A frown was on her pale face "For all you know he could be faking!" here her face turned into an angry one "He could just be waiting for the perfect chance to have his revenge on you!"

"I almost forgot about that possibility" She thought darkly.

Her conscience screamed in exasperation.

"Do you listen to yourself?… EVER?!" Her moral side screeched angrily "He CAN'T be pretending, just look at him!" The pale ghost's eyes narrowed "He's all alone in the human world and our world, he is surrounded by his enemies and has no idea what just happened to him. Do you actually believe he could be lying right now?"

Ember lowered her head in shame realizing the mistake of her thoughts and answered "No".

And without giving it a second thought the rock diva leaned over him and put her hand on Danny's shoulder to reassure him that everything was going to be all right... But it wouldn't be.

Nothing would ever be all right.

"Shh, it'll be alright. Just try and relax."

Meanwhile Danny was fitful himself, he was lost; a million questions went through his mind "What happened? Why am I like this? Who am I? I don't know who I am; I don't even know my own name!"

Ember didn't know what was happening to him, a few hours ago he was yelling at her, the next he was crying, it was just too weird, Youngblood and his parrot didn't say a thing, hey just watched their enemy, the silence was unbearable, finale the bratty ten year old snapped, by liking the bird's paw and breaking everyone out of their own little words.

"Ok, enough of this!"

"Eww why did you have lo lick my paw!"

Youngblood glared at the talking bird and then continued, they all thought the boy was going to say something intelligent for once but of course that wasn't the case "Nah nah nah, Phantom's crying like a little girl nah nah nah!"

He then blows a raspberry, the parrot and Ember slapped their foreheads.

This cached Danny's attention, he stopped his crying enough to start to sit up, but a sharp pain in his temples and his lower neck made him pause, however that did not stop him from seething his eyes on the floating ghost in front of him, he stared at Youngblood as if he just meet him for the first time, a smirk was on the child's face, he thought he finally angered the hybrid.

"Phantom?" he stared at Youngblood. "Is that my name?"

By now Ember's brain was frantically trying to work out what had happened. But no matter what scenario he was able to propose, the result would always end up the same: Danny Fenton a.k.a Danny Phantom had lost his memory.

"Maybe hitting him on the head with your guitar wasn't the best idea huh sis?"

"Shut up".

"Was that?" Her conscience said playfully "Is that… guilt I'm sensing?"

"NOO!"

"You're a terrible liar" her human side said happily "You're feeling sorry for him and you can't deny it, can you?"

Her conscience was partly right; she WAS feeling guilty, it was a new feeling to her, well not entirely new she felt it when she was alive but now that she was dead she had no reason to have such emotion but the fact that she was NOT feeling sorry for the boy was another thing to argue, maybe because she was still angry at him or maybe because she WANTED to feel said anger, she was not completely sure after all it has been a long time since she felt something besides hatred towards others.

"Perhaps I haven't lost all my humanity?" Ember marveled to herself as she kept an eye on her "guests", apparently the green haired child was not pleased with Danny's "acting abilities" and tried to get him to attack him, in retrospect it was a foolish thing to attempt but then again the green haired child was not a very smart ghost to begin with.

Her brain keep wondering at the situation at hand, the concept of not being in control was something alien to the blue haired woman, and she thought about how frightening it must be to not be in control of one's own memories, those minor things usually taken for granted. She cringed mentally, and without even realizing took Danny and squeezed him in a tight hug.

This of course surprised her as well as the others in the room.

Several minutes passed until she opened her eyes and realized what was happening "Okkk how did I end over here?"

evil snickering was heard "Aw is my wittle sister embarrassed?", she bit her lower lip in an attempt to not say anything out loud, the last thing she needed was for others to think she was crazy or in this case crazier than usual, she apparently was unaware of the fact that she was squeezing the life out of the injured teenager, for you could see he was apparently trying to breathe.

"I am NOT embarrassed" She replied to her conscience dangerously, although her face told otherwise, she was blushing "And stop calling me your sister!"

"Excuse me?" came a slightly meekly question from the teenager she was currently hugging, she look up at him and noticed that he didn't have his normal blue eyes but his neon green ghostly ones, he blinked and his eyes were blue again, a small sheepishly smile was on Ember's face.

"Yes?" She asked, still holding him.

"What's my name again?"

"Uhhh," was her intelligent answer, she shook her head carefully, not wanting her ponytail to set the guy on fire and told him nicely "Well your first name would be Danny.

"And my last?"

"You have two actually… Fenton but most actually call you Phantom".

He raised an eyebrow "I wonder why?" He thought.

"And what's your name?"

"Ember McLame… I mean Ember McLain" She said hurrily after realizing her mistake, a small chuckle reached her ears.

"Great I just made an idiot out of myself" She thought bitterly "Wait why do I care what he thinks?"

"Smooth move my dear sis..".

"You finish that sentence and you'll never…"

"I'll never what?" Her consciene challenged "Ember dear I'm a part of your subconscience, there is NOTHING you can do to me"

"I'm gonna kill you"

"And I love you too".

"Uh...Ember...Ember?" Danny squeaked, tapping her shoulder lightly but rapidly trying to get some air back in his lungs.

Seeing as how Ember looked like she was trying to squeeze the life out of Danny, Youngblood assumed she was trying to hurt him, he smirked cruelly and turned his hook into a slingshot , his parrot hearing something powering up, turned around and saw the bratty ten year old ready to put the halfa into a dream world.

"NO… stop you fool…!"

"Too late, the slingshot released the small ecto-cannonball hitting Danny on the head and knocking his lights out.

Needless to say that things didn't go too well after that, Danny's body felt limped to the pale ghost all of the sudden, she looked up and noticed something in his forehead, she lowered him and saw the small ecto-cannonball , she slowly but surely turned her head to the culprit.

"Youngblood" Her voice was dangerously low "Why in the hell did you do THIS for?" She said pointing at the unconscious boy in her arms.

"Well you WERE trying to hurt him... I figured I give some help" He commented without a care.

She slapped her forehead.

"Uh Earth to pipsqueak, LOOK AT HIM!" She hollowed. "Every bone is his body is probably broken, he COULD have more damage in his mind thanks to your little idea AND he is obviously scarred for life!"

"So?"

"DO YOU REALLY THINK HE NEEDS MORE MISFORTUNE TO ADD TO HIS MISERY?!"

"Uh are you ok Ember, aren't you forgetting something here?" He asked "He's OUR enemy, we're NOT suppose to care what happens to him!"

"For once I agree with captain idiot here" The Parrot said "Just what on Earth happened to him anyway?"

"Not of your concerned birdie" She spat.

"Well now it is of our concern" Youngblood snapped "And imagine what great amount of money Walker would pay if I told him you're hiding Phantom here in your home"

"You wouldn't!"

"Hey I'm a kid I'm supposed to be irresponsible" Youngblood blurted out.

Ember growled, her eyes got brighter and her hair got bigger due to her rage she was feeling towards the green haired boy.

"Temper my dear sis temper; it's what got in this mess in the first place".

Her ponytail became bigger and bigger, obviously she was not listening to her rational side "I'm giving you to the count of ten to guess both your asses out of my house before I blast you both outta here!" She warned between gritted teeth.

"I don't think" The Parrot spoke" You are well aware that we could easily tell Walker about this and not only will the whelp be in prison but you too!"

"Ten"

"All the Ghost Zone knows he has a vendetta on him, and imagine what he'll do if words gets to him that you'll been helping him out".

"Nine"

"Do you really want to spend the rest of your afterlife stuck in that hellhole?"

"Eight"

"Yeah!" Youngblood yelled "But then again this would be an excellent way to get revenge on you!"

"Seven"

"Youngblood you're not helping"

"Six"

"Sure I am!"

"Five"

"No, your not"

"Four".

By now her hair had reached the ceiling and if Ember didn't calm down soon the entire place would be burned down.

The temperature became a lit higher, the two "pirates" look at the sign in front of them they saw an expression of rage beginning to cross the female's face, and her left eye began to twitch uncontrollably as well, the thing that scared them the most was the fact that her green eyes turned bloody red.

One more wrong mood and she would definitely kill them, although kill would not be an appropriate term in this situation.

"Ok new tactic " The skeleton said to himself "Look Ember, how about this, you let us stay her and well help you out on whatever it is you were planning to do with the halfa"

"Huh?" Youngblood asked confused "What makes you think I wanna help her?"

"Three".

"Because if we don't make a deal or calm the psycho woman here WE are gonna end up fried!" The bird told him harshly.

"Two"

"You might want to get some bandages, disinfectant and, get some water" Youngblood ordered" this will take a while, and we might want to hear the whole story".

"One".

They both prepared themselves for the impending doom.

But the blows never came.

"I don't have any of that stuff" She admitted reluctantly.


Amity Park:

Fourteen year old Valerie Grey walked home despite the dark and dreary situation she witnessed a few hours ago it was sunny and happy and just delightful day. Valerie ignored everything about it. The sun's smile didn't pierce through the solid shield of her angered mind. Not being able to shed any light on the situation. Her head hung low and her eyes drooped. All they watched were the countless cement blocks she walked on. To make things worse she felt like she had failed a friend, a true friend, she just saw as some rogue ghost took the boy she liked like it was not a big deal.

The truth was that she has never felt so useless in her life, Valerie found herself in a situation were she NEEDED her ghost hunting equipment ore than any other day but her dad had taken everything from her, any ecto-weapons she had obtained from Mr. Masters were locked, hidden from her or most likely destroyed, she knew her father worried about her and told her more than once that ghost hunting was something to be left to the professionals but now those professionals died in a freak accident plotted by some sick ghost no less!

That's what she told herself.

She now believed that something should be done about this, if she didn't then who would? the sad part was that she couldn't do it alone and she couldn't tell anyone about her double life as a ghost hunter, she was pretty much screwed.

"I'm so screwed" She thought bitterly, newscasters, police officers, firemen, every department in Amity Park has reached what used to be The Nasty Burger in a matter of minutes, too bad they weren't fast enough in her opinion, but the thing that was stuck in her retina forever was not only witnessing the explosion but seeing innocent people die and one person's life being destroyed in a millisecond.

"What must it feel like to lose that much in one foul swoop?"

To make matters worse her dad no doubt would be seeing the news or hearing about the explosion in a few hours and he would KNOW Valerie was there, he would not only nag her but would remain persistent of his daughter's choice and more than likely ground her for who know how long.

Then another thought came to her mind, "What would Mr. Masters say about this?" She frowned "The guy was obviously a close friend of the Fenton family, surely this would after him too, and then it clicked. "Mr. Masters!!!"

He was the only other person who knew of her career as a ghost hunter, if anyone could help her out it had to be her mentor, she speeded up her pace, she had no time to lose.

"I'll find you Danny, I promise".


Ember's Place:

After a few more hours of arguing Ember finally allowed both Youngblood and his Parrot to help her out with the Phantom kid, said teenager was now resting on the couch, still asleep but now he had a white gauze bandage wrapped firmly around his midsection. The blood and ectoplasm was cleaned away from his body, his scars and wounds were bandaged and his head was covered in yet another bandage, his clothes were still the same, Ember felt that the last thing she needed was to take the clothes off her enemy.

You can ALL imagine that her face went as red as a tomato that time, and of course you could all figure out that she got teased about it, currently the rocker, the pirate and the parrot were all sitting in what appeared to be her living room, not much was different from all the other rooms of her lair, except that in this one there was a table chairs, a stereo with other musicians CDs and oddly enough there was not a single piece that was done by Ember herself, this confused the young ghost and the bird to say the least.

While they inspect everything about the room, Ember was in a little world of her own, she took a deep breath. Her dark green eyes were half lidded and crestfallen as they analyzed her hands on the table.


Flashback to the Nasty Burger:

"Ember get the hell out of here I am NOT in the mood to deal with you!" Danny said as he flew towards her getting ready to throw and ectoplasmic energy blast.

"Aw well too bad baby pop!"

"Its ghosts like you that made my life as hard is it is!"

"Excuse me?!"

"You heard me" He hissed "If you and other damn ghosts were just inside the ghost zone then I wouldn't have to protect anybody! He continued "And I would have been able to have a normal life!"

"Woah! Woah! Don't go blaming me or anybody else about you being a half-ghost freak if anything you should blame those idiots you call parents for even creating the damn portal!"

""My parents are NOT idiots!"

A bunch of ectoplasmic blasts followed after that.

From afar, Sam Tucker and Jazz were inside the Nasty Burger trying to get Mr. and Ms Fenton out of the building while they were looking for their son, Mr. Lancer was still outside watching in astonishment as the battle took place.

Danny obviously let his guard down, at the moment the only thing he cared about was to get rid of some frustration, he keep launching ghosts rays, He even went as far as starting to punch Ember, she obviously did not expect this at first and of course she started to defend herself, she used her guitar to protect herself and to even hurt him by launching her guitar at him but the musical instrument just went trough his waist.

Danny smirked and grabbed her by the neck, starting to choke the life out of her, she tried to break free but his hold on her was too strong, as she tried to escape, the ghost hybrid thought about the unfairness of his situation. He thought about how he would gladly give up ghost hunting if there were no more ghosts attacking the town. He thought about all the normal stuff he was missing because of his superhero job. And then he thought about how this was his reality and he wished that he never even activated the stupid portal.

"Damn you Sam".

By now tears went down his cheeks, without even realizing he released a wave of electricity going through the pale ghost's body, she screamed in pain and when Danny noticed this he gasped in surprised, he didn't even realized he was using his ghost stinger, as if on impulse he let go of Ember.

She was pissed to say the least, her hair was fried and she had bruises on her pale cheeks, her eyes became red and her ponytail became bigger, she used her fiery hair to attack him, throwing blue flames in every direction she could, but Danny dodge every one of her flames, he surprised her when he was in front of her and punch her, Ember was thrown backward.

Just as Danny stared into nothingness he reached the decision to tell his parents about his secret, maybe if the found out they would give him a second chance, he knew they would give him that at least.

When Ember felled in the direction of the restaurant, she hit the vat of the Nasty Sauce, she opened her eyes and realized that she was witnessing a side of her enemy one else saw before, he actually seemed murderous at the moment, he was filled with blind rage, an emotion she knew all to well, she was getting ready to flee and for the first time ever, she was afraid, she was actually scared of the Phantom kid.

Just as she was about to leave a voice reached her ears "Going somewhere?"

She turned around and Danny was floating there ready to continue with his plan to get rid of his anger, Ember just floated away from him. "Oh no you don't!" Danny shouted. He aimed an ecto-blast at the female ghost and fired.

"Danny wait stop!" Jazz screamed.

But it was too late, the rock diva dodged the blast and escaped up through the roof. Danny's ecto-blast hit the vat his enemy collided with in the corner of the room. Then without any sort of warning the Nasty Sauce heated and exploded. As a habit of his ghost fighting, Danny turned intangible, but the force of the blast was still enough to send him backwards onto the grass outside. Debris flew around him. As the dust settled a while later, he felt his energy drain and he fell unconscious, his form changing back to human.

When he woke up, he was still in the middle of the street, hewas worried, he did not see his family, his friends or his teacher anywhere, he managed to get up and walked to the remains of the building, then he saw the only thing that remained of his loved one, he saw Sam's headband.

It was obvious the bodies had been vaporized, then it hit him, he had killed the people that meant the most to him (and Mr. Lancer) with his own two hands.

He screamed and ran around the place, he completely lost it, for the next few minutes he was nothing did nothing more than looking around the place refusing to believe they were dead, when he finally gave up he collaped on the concrete and cried.

"I did this" He cried "I did this".

Of course, Ember was also to blame, too bad he didn't remember.

End Flashback.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ember had tears flowing down her cheeks, staining her make-up, the memory replayed in her mind; she used her hand to get the tears out her eyes before the others would notice this.

She didn't know why she was crying thought, it was technically none of her concern what happens to the ghost hybrid but her mind keep repeating the same thing over and over again, "maybe I'm help him because he's suffering as much as you did??".

It was a war to her, her evil side told her not to feel guilty and just go on with her after life while her conscience told her to help her nemesis because even he didn't deserve the cruel fate he was given, nobody did.

"Why did you stat to mess with me?" She asked her conscience in desperation.

"I didn't" She answered "I think you did this to yourself after years of anger".

Ember's hands clenched "Will you stop it with the mind games?!"

"You know there's a pun here somewhere" Her mind told her "But I rather avoid it".

Ember scowled darkly.

"And to think that after everything you went through in your life, the pain you have both seen and endured, I would have thought you would have learned that pain can be shown in ways that do not involve acts you pulled before like the act of cowardice you did years ago!"

"I was twelve!" Ember pointed out angrily "I was lost, I felt weak, I didn't know what to do!" New tears escaped from her eyes.

"But your sister offered to help didn't she?"

"So, are you gonna tell us what happened or what?" Youngblood asked skeptically, saving Ember from having another conversation with herself.

The blue haired ghost raised her head from the glare she was giving the table, she raised her eyebrow at him and groaned, forgetting she wasn't alone "It's… complicated".

"Complicated as in how?" The Parrot questioned.

Ember took a deep breath, she fiddled with her hands as she looked at them "I just kind of pushed him over the edge and… ruined his life".

"Well shouldn't you be happy?" Youngblood asked incredulously "I mean you defeated him, its something no one else in the Ghost Zone has achieved!"

"THAT'S JUST IT!" She exploded "I WASN'T ATTEMPTING TO RUIN HIS LIFE THAT WAY!" She buried her head in her arms.

"Well you might want to give us what happened then!" Youngblood snapped.

"I don't have to tell you squat!" Came a muffled voice.

"Are you forgetting we..."

"Yes, yes I know!" She interrupted "Walker is looking for him and you'll them if I don't cooperate, can't you say anything else?!"

They both glared at her.

Ember sighs, still with her arms over he head, she then looks at them both and sniffed "I think we got ourselves a situation here".

"Indeed" The parrot agreed.

"Huh?" Youngblood was confused "What are you two talking about?!"

"Haven't you noticed the dipstick's odd behavior?"

The short boy shook his head, his parrot rolled his eyes.

"Big surprised" Ember thought sarcastically. "Look dummy, the boy obviously has amnesia and before you ask that means he lost his memory" She said out loud.

"So, what were you planning to do about this?" The child asked interested.

"Wait… Me?"

"Yeah I mean, you must have something planned concerning him" Youngblood commented "After all isn't why you got him here in the first place?"

"Not really" Ember admitted "I was not expecting to end up in this situation"

"Well my mates it appears we been given a golden opportunity!" He said grinning ear to ear.

"What do you mean you gob?" The skeleton asked confused.

"The sea dog is vulnerable!" Youngblood concluded "Imagine what the three of us could do if we manage to turn Phantom into our slave!"

For the first time ever, his parrot was impressed with his "master's" way of thinking, he smirked at the idea.

Ember on the other hand was not so sure about this, again her conscience kicked, this was one of those times when she wished it would be better if she was one of those ghosts who only existed because of unfinished business or because they were born in the Ghost Zone but nooo, she had to be one of the few ghosts who previously had a life on Earth and who still had some humanity within her ectoplasmic body.

"Where's Desiree when you want her?".

He hair once again roared with intensity and out of nowhere she screamed in agony as she hands slamming flat on the rickety wooden table, the chair screeched across the floor and clattered to the ground, this of course made Youngblood and his parrot turn their heads quickly in the direction of the possibly mentally unstable ghost.

"Settle down will you." The parrot said "I swear your mood swing are worse than the lunch lady's

"No, I don't think I will," She said icily. "And don't compare me to that psycho woman again, the last thing I need is being compared to an overweight old hag!"

"Who would?" The bratty kid snickered.

"Anyway" the parrot spoke, "I doubt you were listening but Youngblood here came with the brilliant idea of having the ghost boy on our side"

"And how exactly is THAT a brilliant idea?"

"They both stared at her "Uh hello?" The boy said "Are you forgetting how powerful Phantom is becoming?.

"No"

"Well if we have him on our side we can actually do whatever we want and no one will be able to stop us!"

"There is one flaw in your plan genius" She leered "YOU knocked him out and I don't think he'll be very found of you or that parrot when he wakes up"

"But he apparently seems to trust you" The parrot countered back.

"Yeah so… what if he does?" She said gathering up the chair and placing it back and sitting down "It's not like I would actually want to be a part of whatever stupid plans you have"

"You know, you're a very hard ghost to deal with". The small bird said getting annoyed.

"Yeah! I was actually thinking you still wanted to take over the world!"

Ember froze just right there "World domination?" she was so busy battling Phantom and her emotions that she forgot why she had gone to the human world in the first place.

"Oh no" Her conscience scolded "Don't even THINK of listening to those two, Ember, sweety, I'm a part of you... and believe me cause I am your smart side, if you go on with whatever silly plans these two dimwits have you WILL regret it".

'Yeah right, what could possibly go wrong?" She replied smugly.

"Don't say I didn't warn you".


And that my dear readers it's chapter three, I think this is the best chapter so far but of course there will be more angst moments to come and of course more action.

I think I'm making Ember just a little OOC here, but I just think that her thinking of way too much stuff at once can make her almost end up having a nervous breakdown, believe me when I tell you this was one of the hardest things I ever tried to write.

I wanna thanks those who have continued to leave me reviews and to my good friend SapphireWolfMaster I give a special thanks for giving me great feedback, ironically enough one of the scenes in tis chapter was inspired from his fic "Ghost Crisis", those who have read it see if ya can find the similarity.

By the way if I don't post anything within the next two months its because of my final major project at college, I'm just giving you guys a warning because I'll probably wont be in FFN for the next 60 days or so.
