Danny Phantom and Ember Mclain Heroes of
Danny Phantom and Ember Mclain were in Danny's basement sparring.
"Come on Baby-pops is that all you've got?" Ember asked her boyfriend as she dodged his attacks.
"Well then what about this?" Danny said as he threw an ecto ball towards Ember hitting the tail end of guitar ,knocking her to the ground.
Danny then took the opportunity to pin Ember to the ground.
"I win!." Danny exclaimed turning human while helping Ember to her feet. "Well, what do you want to do since its just us and Jazz?" he asked her as they walked up stairs.
"Study." Ember said hovering beside him.
"Why?" Danny asked as Ember just gave him a look that said you know 'why.' "Ghost fighting, I know."
Danny and Ember went the living room where Jazz sat on the couch reading a book entitled "Raising Your Siblings When Your Parents Suck".
"What's up guys." Jazz said looking up from her book.
"Amber and I were wondering if you could help us study for a biology test on Friday." Danny said looking at his sister.
"Sure." Jazz said as Danny's Ghost sense revealed The Box Ghost goes by their house.
"Jazz call Sam and Tucker, Ember follow me. I'm Going Ghost." He shouted turning into his ghostly alter ego Danny Phantom. As Ember followed suit with Danny, as they followed the Box Ghost to Amity Harbor.
Ember threw a ghost fist from her guitar sending the Box Ghost through a wall into a pile of boxes.
"Beware! I am the Box Ghost, for I have power over all things cardboard and square!" The Box Ghost said looking at Ember and Danny.
" Okay, can we get this over with? We've got a test to study for. "Danny Phantom said.
"Study? There will be no time to study,when you find yourself crushed beneath the forgotten possessions of Elliot Kravitz of Arlington Heights, Illinois!" The Box Ghost shouted loudly as he threw the shipping boxes towards our ghostly heroes. Looking at each other Ember and Danny turn intangible as the boxes phase through them.
"Tucker we don't have time for this!" Ember sighs as Tucker, Jazz and Sam kicked a steel door down. With Fenton Thermos in hand Tucker sucked in the Box Ghost.
"Perimeter secure." Tucker said with a smile.
"Perimeter Secure? But your not a Navy Seal." Jazz said looking at Tucker as he started to spin the Fenton Thermos on his fore finger.
"Whatever Tucker, just make sure you don't drop it." Sam replied dryly.
"What? They're all right here." Tucker said as the spinning thermos fell off his finger and onto the ground releasing all of the ghosts that they caught throughout the week.
"TUCKER!" all of them shouted while glaring at him while Ember turned back into a human.
Elsewhere Skulker is spying on Danny Phantom from afar.
"Half human, half ghost. He'll make a fine addition to my collection ." Skulker said while the Box Ghost crept up behind the cage of Ghosts. "Touch that box and your pelt will adorn my fireplace. " causing the Box Ghost to cringe.
A few days later Danny was sitting in the kitchen with his dad and mom when Jazz entered the room shouting.
"Oh my gosh they said yes!" Jazz shouted holding a magazine in her hand.
"Who said yes, The person you asked if you were a conceited snob?" Danny replied mocking his older sister.
"No, Genius Magazine said yes! They got my letter and want to put mom on the cover!" Jazz screamed while hugging the magazine.
"Genius Magazine?" Maddie asked her daughter.
"Genius Magazine?! Is it the swimsuit issue?" Jack asked his daughter while snatching the magazine from her.
"Uh, Dad, Genius Magazine is for women geniuses, by women geniuses, and about women geniuses." Jazz answered.
"So it is the Swimsuit issue." Danny said after thinking for a moment he frowned at the thought of his mom in a swimsuit on a magazine cover.
" It's not the swimsuit issue! But it is the perfect magazine to show that I have normal parents instead of a couple of ghost-hunting freaks." Jazz exclaimed with glee.
" They're not ghost-hunting freaks." Danny remarked.
"Hey, Danny, speaking of ghost hunting." Their father said while taking his wife's invention from her. "Check out the latest in ghost-hunting technology: the Ghost Gabber! Genius Magazine has to be interested in this. It takes the mysterious sounds a ghost makes and translates them into words you and I use every day. Here, try it." he said holding up the Ghost Gabber to his son while Jazz started freaking out a bit.
"Uh...Boo?" Danny said into the Ghost Gabber.
"I am a ghost. Fear me." The Ghost Gabber said puzzling their parents while Jazz calmed down a bit.
"Well I better get to school, uh Jazz could you give me a lift?" Danny looked towards his sister for help.
"Sure Danny." as the two Fenton siblings exited out of the kitchen and headed towards Caspar High, leaving their father looking at the Ghost Gabber questioningly.
Casper High as Danny,Tucker, Sam and Amber sat at the library.
"Hey Baby pop, what'd you get on the test? I got a 'B'." Amber said with a smile.
"I got a 'D'. I can't have a 'D' in biology my parents would kill me. " Danny lamented.
"So much for the Fentons being a family full of geniuses." Tucker said coolly.
"Well you can pull up your grade with an extra credit biology assignment.. With this magnificent creature." Sam informed her best friends with a web page of a gorilla.
"A Purple Back Gorilla?" Danny said walking to the computer.
" Yep. Extremely rare. Only two left, both male. After this, they're gone forever. Which is why you are going to prove he deserves to be set free." Sam told Danny.
"Unfortunately Baby-pop I won't be able to help you or Sam's agenda tonight." Amber informed her boyfriend and best friends as Danny nodded in an understanding way.
"Well, I won't do the extra credit assignment anyway. I barely have enough free time as it is." Danny remarked.
"Actually you do you just have to learn how to manage it better. I decided to become your time manager. It's the least I can do after Sam made me let all those ghosts out." Tucker said holding out his PDA.
"I don't know Tuck." Danny sighed as Sam glared at Tucker.
"It'll be my job to keep track of your schedule so you can do your school work and catch all those ghosts that Sam let loose." Tucker replied coolly. Danny while Sam glared at Tucker in response.
"Remember what happened when I let you manage the thermos?" Danny asked Tucker who was tapping on his PDA.
"And I've already scheduled 'Remember: not to let Tucker handle the thermos.'" Tucker said proudly.
"Fine I'll give you a trial period." Danny said.
"Well Baby-pop I'll see you later." Amber said as she kissed Danny on the lips.
"You know, being a Ghost living in the mortal plane must be tough, you know...the limited amount time you can be as a human before you're forced to go back." Tucker said as Danny sighed and nodded his head in agreement as the three teens watch Amber leave the library. Moments later the three friends leave the library themselves with plans to visit the Amity Zoo later that night.
Skulker phased through the wall and floats over to the computer with the web page of the Purple Back Gorilla.
"So this is your prey eh Ghost Boy?" Skulker said to himself as a student named mike walked up to him.
'Excuse me sir, but are you finished with the computer?" Mike asked Skulker who shot him to the wall of the library.
"I could go after that female ghost or I could kill the ghost boy to impress her." Skulker said to himself and turned intangible and went through the wall as Dash and his friend walked through the library seeing Mike webbed to the wall.
"Whoa did you do that?" Dash asked his friend as he shook his head no.
"Nope, but I can always stop and appreciate high-quality bullying." Dash's friends said as Mike fell to the floor.
Later that night Amber and her mom along with Vlad were at Nasty Burger.
"So um.. Vlad why are we here at Nasty Burger." Amber asked Vlad as her mom looked at him and smiled.
"Well my dear, your mother and I were wondering if it would be alright you would call me dad from now on?" Vlad asked Amber who is just sat there smiling.
"Yes! Thanks Dad." Amber shouted, throwing up her fists in the air. "Does this mean what I think it means?" as Vlad just sat their nodding his head.
"You'll be a Masters in a couple of months from now, when your mother and I will tie the knot." Vlad said with a smile on his face.
Meanwhile in Amity Zoo Danny, Sam and Tucker are watched Samson the Purple Back Gorilla scratch his butt.
"Sam, we've been here for how long now watching that gorilla scratch his butt?" Danny said as he started yawning.
"Six hours." Tucker informed Danny as they both nod off a go to sleep hugging each other in the process.
"It's only a matter of time before you find out something about Sampson nobody's ever learned!" Sam said looking through the binoculars watching Sampson. Turning around Sam saw an opportunity. Taking out her camera she snapped a picture of Danny and Tucker hugging.
"Oh, this is one for the yearbooks." Sam said to herself as she went down to where Samson is caged.
In another part of the zoo Skulker phased through he managed to wake a tiger in the process as he looked through his binoculars. He saw Danny and Tucker sleeping together.
"Oh please." Skulker said netting a tiger.
Meanwhile Sampson awoke from his slumber as Sam walked up to him as the Gorilla tried to tell her to let him out.
"What is it you want me to free you?" Sam exclaimed as she jogged up to the control panel and let Sampson's cage open.
The gorilla sent himself flying toward skulker and started to beat the living tar out of Skulker smashing his suit.
Skulker shot etco-webbing at the gorilla and missed, while the gorilla caught the webbing in his hand and spun skulker around like a plastic chair sending him flying to where Danny was. Danny's ghost sense went off sending chills throughout his body.
"Good-Bye Ghost child." Skulker said as he was about to kill Danny when Sampson flew through the air towards him. Not wanting to fight the Purple Back Gorilla again Skulker turned intangible and left the area, as the gorilla started pounding on the wall waking up Danny and Tucker.
"Gorilla. Loose!" Tucker said with fear in his voice having already letting go of Danny.
"Already on it I'm going Ghost." Danny yelled turning into Danny Phantom. Danny flew towards the Gorilla and caught him in his arms, while phasing through a wall and put him back in his cage.
"Danny I was going to tell that a go-" Sam said but was interrupted by Danny.
"Gee I wonder who let out a 400 pound gorilla Sam." Danny replied looking at Sam.
"Yeah. Wait 'til we tell everybody at school you let out a 400 pound gorilla." Tucker said along with Danny as Sam just held up a photo of him and Danny hugging on the floor asleep.
"Or we can just keep it quiet." Danny said after seeing the picture of them.
The next afternoon. Jazz, Maddie and Jack sat in the living room across from Connie a journalist from Genius Magazine.
"A few more questions, Maddie can you tell our readers what you're working on now?" Connie asked enthusiastically.
"Well, it's called the Ghost Gabber, and -" Jack Fenton informed Connie while Jazz cut him off.
"Dad put that thing away!" Jazz exclaimed snatching her father's device away." She's actually working on a new form of self-generating energy. She's an amazing, intelligent woman who's about to change the world" Jazz said trying to cover up her parents tracks.
"Connie my primary focus these days is ghost hunting." Maddie said as Connie frowned at the real answer.
" I'm sorry did you say Ghost Hunting?" Connie asked as Jazz sighed while Danny, Sam and Tucker come through the front door.
"Danny look at you! I 'm not sure I like this overnight zoo research." Maddie scolded her son on his appearance .
"Mom, come on. We're just a bunch of kids. In the zoo. At night. Alone, We'll be in my room." Danny informed his mom as Danny, Tucker, and Sam head towards his room while everyone stared at them.
"We'll be in my Room, Fear me." The Ghost Gabber said as Amber dashed through the front door.
"Hi Mr. and Mrs. Fenton! Is Danny in his room." Amber asked as Danny's parents just nodded their heads yes. "Thanks." said Amber as she ran upstairs towards Danny's room.
Danny's Ghost sense went off as he looked back behind him to see Amber running towards him. Opening the door to his room Danny sees nothing.
"Since when does my Ghost sense go off when Amber is in her human form." Danny says as Skulker appears in front of him.
"Hello Ghost Child." Skulker says capturing Danny in a net and pulling him into his room.
Amber seeing the exchange happen before her, turning into her Ghost form and phases through Danny's door just in time for Danny to ask Skulker who he is.
"I am Skulker, A collector of things rare and unique. and you, Ghost Child, are that and more; and once I've eliminated you I'll be able to impress that female ghost with your head on my wall." Skulker said looking at Danny as he smashes a model rocket.
"In your dreams Dipstick, if you think for one minute you killing my man will impress me, you're going have go through his woman in order to do it." Ember says striking Skulker with her guitar freeing Danny. "The names Ember Mclain and you better Remember my name."
"I'm Going Ghost." Danny says transforming. After transforming into his ghost half Danny punches Skulker into his wall. "And that's for my Rocket that I built."
Outside Sam and Tucker are trying to open his door.
"That's the Ghost from the zoo."
"Who Danny?" Tucker says looking at Sam.
"No the other guy." Sam replying to Tucker.
"Hey what's going on up there?" Jazz calls from the down stairs. "You know, ghost hunting isn't the only thing my parents do, Connie. It's really a side interest. What they're really into is-"
As the destruction become more evident through the noise upstairs Jack stands up from the couch.
"Ghost! Ghost!." as Sam and Tucker run down stairs to where everyone else is.
"kids over here, there's a ghost in the house." Maddie says to Tucker and Sam.
"Actually there's two-" Tucker said as Sam elbowed him in the gut. "Much homework to be done for a ghost to be here, I'll get some snacks." Tucker says before walking to the kitchen.
"But Where's Amber?" Maddie asked Sam.
"She's upstairs with Danny, their practicing for a concert of hers." Sam replies to Danny's mother.
"But Danny doesn't play an instrument." his mother responds as a loud crash comes from the kitchen.
Everyone goes to the kitchen to see Tucker strikes a karate pose with the broken kitchen table. A loud crash shakes the house.
"Ghost rats in the lab we'll take care of them for you Mr. Fenton." Tucker says grabbing Sam's hand as they head towards the basement.
"I'd like to learn a little more about this Danny" Connie says heading upstairs.
"Uh, that's probably not such a great idea!" Jazz says while trying to cover up for Danny and Amber's secret. "Wait!"
Downstairs in the Basement Skulker holds Danny by his throat while Ember is passed out on the ground.
"Time to put you on display Ghost Child." Skulker said as he turns on the Ghost portal.
"Noo." Danny screams as Sam steps in front of Skulker.
"No is right, Danny. Cages are wrong. How do you think Sampson feels being in a cage?" Sam says with her arms blocking the entrance to the Ghost Zone.
"But." Was all Skulker could say before Danny kicks him off sending him flying towards Tucker and Ember.
Skulker seeing Tucker's PDA lying on the ground next to him, picking it up he puts it on throwing his old technology off. Ember regains consciousnesses and shoulder dashes Skulker, knocking him to the ground between her and Danny. Skulker uses the new technology and fires two heat sinking etco missiles at Danny and Ember, Causing them to stick to the wall in spider web like fashion.
"Now Ghost child its time to- fly to the library? Get a book on eating habits of purple-back gorillas?" Skulker says looking at his wrist as it forces him to fly out of the Fenton household towards the library. Making the Ecto webbing disappear on Danny and Ember.
"You ok, Baby-pop?" Ember asks Danny helping him up.
"I should be asking you that." Danny replies to Ember as they hear Danny's mom call for both of them. Turning in Tangible, the two ghosts phase through floors and end up in Danny's Room. Thinking on her feet Ember turns back into her human form as Danny follows suit pulling him into a heated make-out session.
"Danny, Ember this is oh my." Maddie said as she opens the door to Danny's room seeing Amber's hands up Danny's shirt realizing their planned audience was there, Danny breaks his kiss with Amber.
"Don't you people ever knock?" Danny says to them in a false angry tone while slamming his door on Connie, Jazz, Maddie, and Jack. "Jazz is so going to kill me for that." as Amber just nods her head in agreement.
"I am so going to kill him for that." Jazz says in the hallway.
"Brooding? Messy? Reclusive? Now those are the signs of a true genius. Oh! If only he were a woman." Connie says as the next day Tucker,Sam ,Amber and Danny all walk up the steps of Caspar High.
"Any sign of him?" Danny asks looking around.
"Nope! He hasn't bothered you for thirty-eight minutes Maybe he hunting someone else right now." Tucker says checking his PDA
"HHAHAH that's funny Tuck." Amber laughs as Tucker looks at her. "who would he hunt, Me! more like hit On! Right now I'm just grateful we have some time to breathe from that dipstick."
"How many of those do you have anyway?" Sam asks Tucker.
"Two and Good thing I backed up everything onto this one, Danny right now your going to be late for class." Tucker says pushing him through the doors of their high school. Meanwhile Skulker phases through the stairs unseen by anyone.
"Soon Ghost child, ever so soon and Then Ember will be mine." Skulker says to himself.
Danny,Amber, Sam and Tucker are leaving Mr. Lancer 's classroom as Danny goes and checks his locker, ghostly chains shoot out a grab Danny as Skulker appears in front of him.
"And now Ghost Child I will." Skulker says aiming a wrist ecto-blaster at Danny as the PDA starts to go off. " I will Go to the news stand and purchase magazine with article about purple-back gorillas?"Activating his jet pack Skulker unwillingly goes towards his destination, as the chains holding Danny disappear.
"I think we'll blow that one." Danny says walking to his next class.
Lunch time rolls around with Jazz, Danny, Amber, Tucker and Sam are hanging around the football bleachers.
"Danny eat something please." Jazz begs her little brother.
"No, he could be anywhere." Danny says refusing to eat his lunch.
" Hey, this food was scheduled to be eaten." Tucker says picking up Danny's milk carton and opening it revealing Skulker as Amber just looks at him not even bothering to change as Skulker's PDA goes off.
"I will now Take photos of gorilla?" Skulker shouts flying off as an idea forms in Jazz's head.
"Danny has this happened before?" Jazz asks her brother as Danny nods his head yes. "Then Skulker is bound to Tucker's schedule for you Danny what's next on the List then?" Jazz asks Tucker.
"Gym."
The Boy's locker room as Danny and Tucker look over at Dash looking over at the mirror flexing his arms.
"Hey Dash I'm too weak and helpless can you open my locker, can you do it for me. " Danny asks Dash as he shoves Danny out of the way.
"Out of the way, loser." Opening up Danny's Locker Skulker captures Dash in a bubble and checks his readings.
" Hmm, my sensors indicate you're an average human, destined for an less- average life after high school." Then Skulker's PDA goes off throwing him towards the gorilla display at the museum of natural history.
Later after school Danny and his friends hiding out with Ember and Danny already in their Ghost forms waiting for Skulker.
" Where is he? According to this infernal device which I can not reprogram The Ghost Boy was supposed to be here an hour ago." Skulker says to Sampson as he walks towards the gorilla. Turning around Sam and Jazz are in a fake Sampson suit.
"You again goth girl, it doesn't matter how many allies have you will not defeat me." Skulker said as Tucker from the distance presses the Send button on his PDA making Skulker do push ups and clean his armor.
"Any Last words Skulker." Danny asks rushing towards him punching him in the face, while Ember holds him down with an ecto rope with her guitar. Danny then calls for Sampson to finish beating up Skulker as he calls for him in the gorilla's language. as the four teens look in shock as Skulker is a small blob ghost.
"Awee you look cute enough to date."
"Really!" skulker asks Ember.
"No." Ember says with her hand out as Tucker gives Ember the thermos as she sucks Skulker into it and cap the lid.
"To bad you didn't get anything for your report Danny." Jazz says putting her arm around her brother as Sampson walks up to them as Danny looks over at Sampson.
"It's alright Jazz, OH MY Gosh!"
The Next day at Caspar High Mr Lancer is reading the Genius Magazine article that's say He is a She with Jazz and Maddie hugging Danny with Smiles on their faces. To the entire class.
" Brooding genius Daniel Fenton did what no other researcher dared to do. He got close enough to this rare purple-back gorilla to realize Sampson was actually a Delilah." Nobody at that zoo ever bothered to see if it was a boy or a girl?"
"That's weird right." Danny says with a smile on his face as walks over to Danny's desk.
"Well, Fenton, I have to admit I'm impressed. Wanted to get your grade up so bad, you risked getting mauled by a gorilla, 'B'." Mr. Lancer says putting the grade of his desk. "Next time go to the library Fenton and try not to get your sister involved next time." informs Danny as the School Bell rings.
"Alright I got a 'B'."Danny says as his friends walk out to meeting Jazz in the parking lot to go home from school.
The End.
Author's Note: I changed the C to a B because of Jazz's influence on the situation. next chapter should be coming up soon sometime this week or next. And don't forget to let me know what you think.
