Heroics Gone Wrong?

" Hello Casper High! Tell me who you love!?"

He couldn't believe what he was hearing. The pop diva that everyone is talking about. It would be kinda hard to miss her with her face across the numerous posters covering the very walls of Casper High. Even most of the students attending class today could be seen showing off her latest merchandise. A pop diva whose song Remember has become a worldwide hit in record time and he couldn't blame the critics for singing its praises. He would never mention this to Sam outloud but her song totally rocks! Number one song on many people's playlists by now and by tomorrow it would be at the top of his list as well.

But this was extremely odd. It was no secret she would be holding a concert here in Amity Park shortly. It was no secret that it is already sold out with only limited tickets being resold for much higher prices. That wasn't surprising but what is surprising is to see her suddenly appear out of nowhere with her band already starting to play her beat. Already having the background noise that just pumps you up. It was as though she just suddenly appeared out of thin air like a ghost or something.

" Ember,Ember,Ember,Ember…."

Taking in the loud chants from the students still rushing through the already packed crowd surrounding the stage throwing her head back with a satisfied smile as Ember feels her power growing drastically each and every time she hears her name being shouted out unknown to her knowledge suddenly Danny quickly followed by Sam emerge at the entrance of the school. These two students whose eyes go wide in disbelief.

One who can't help but look around at her fellow students with a hint of anger in her eyes. Some in which had pushed her out of the way in an effort to get outside quicker. She would make sure to remember the names of those particular classmates. They may have won the battle but she would win the war in the end no matter how long it takes.

As for the other? The other can't help but to stare up at the stage in disbelief. The pop diva that everyone has been talking about. Has been listening to her song repeatedly. Whose face is everywhere is right here in the flesh standing on a stage masking in the chants and cheers of the crowd. Though odd enough from his advantage point if he isn't seeing things he swears her hair is growing larger and larger like a flame. Must be some killer special effects he reckons.

" That's it baby say my name. You ready for a little youth revolution!?"

Hearing nothing but his classmates letting out cheers as they push their way closer to the stage ignoring a suddenly appearing Tucker that for some odd reason decides to jump off the front steps towards the crowd only to land painfully face first on the ground before he can even shout out to ask him if he is alright Danny watches in amazement his best friend snap back up to his feet and rush towards the crowd shouting.

" We love you Ember!"

" That's because I fill a void in your empty lives."

A statement that he sees earning an annoyed look from Sam out of the corner of his eye but as for him? Well could he really say that she was wrong? Music does have different meanings to people. Some use it to fill voids like she has stated. Others use it for calming sensations. Even some use it as inspiration. No what she said is true but from the look on her face there is definitely another meaning behind those words from the way she stated it. What that could mean he wasn't sure and wouldn't have much time to ponder it when suddenly a blue mist escapes his mouth indicating that there is a ghost nearby.

" Uh oh."

Quickly looking around trying to spot anything floating above the crowd finding no such thing only to do the same at every single place that he would think a ghost would appear from having the same luck glancing over towards Sam seeing a worried look just when he opens his mouth the sound of a loudspeaker going off makes him snap back forward before his eyes go wide as he sees Mr Lancer balancing himself on a fire hydrant with a megaphone in his hand.

" That can't be good."

Clearing his throat as loudly as possible only to receive no reaction from the chanting crowd trying not to show the annoyance across his already furious looking face pressing down hard on the trigger raises the megaphone up high Mr Lancer shouts into it at the top of his lungs.

" Attention freakishly dressed teen idol! I order you to cease and desist!"

The wrong answer. The complete wrong answer. How dare he say such a stupid thing. To demand she give up this power surge she is getting from the chanting crowd screaming her name. Oh she will make him pay for even opening his stupid loud mouth. She might have taken it easy on him but he reminds her of a teacher that she once hated with a fiery passion.

" Desist this grandpa!"

Her secret weapon. It may look like an ordinary guitar to anyone. Well that's not true. Her guitar is truly badass. Not a single other guitarist has a guitar designed quite like her own and that's not just what makes it badass. No the little feature on the side makes it truly more work of an art than it already was. Sure she has only had the need to use two of the five options at her disposal. One such time was when a fan had rushed the stage and she had to teach him a lesson otherwise the dial would stay right where it was.

As for the other three well one in particular would be the dial of choice whenever he decides to make an appearance. The one that she had been warned about ahead of time in advance. Danny Phantom. The protector of Amity Park. Why he would do such a thing still baffles her. Is he or isn't he a ghost? Shouldn't he be on their side instead of always going out to capture their kind in that famous thermos of his before tossing them back to The Ghost Zone like a used piece of gum? Whatever she has just the thing for him. Who knows? Maybe she will help him change his way of thinking for the better. Being a hero is overrated in her book. It's the darkside that truly rocks!

Making sure to turn to the right dial smiling sinisterly at this old man that dared shout out at her rearing back her gloved hand instantly Ember plays a note across her guitar sending this twirly purple energy wave towards the massive crowd of high school students. A note that hits each and every single one of them causing an immediate reaction. The desired reaction she was looking for making her smile even widen. Their once happy filled eyes now void of any emotion. Their once loud chanting coming to an halt as their eyes glaze over into this bright red closer. These eyes that all snap towards Mr Lancer and slowly approach the confused and cowering teacher with angry expressions across their faces.

Unable to keep the look of shock from coming across his face staring straight at the stage where a sinister looking Ember is just smiling down towards the now angry mob approaching Mr Lancer recoiling in shock Danny takes a step forward with wide eyes.

" Ember's a ghost!? Oh my gosh! I gotta save Lancer. Wow this is bittersweet."

Feeling as though she is being watched rather closely turning her attention away from the cowering teacher who looks like he is about to wet himself at any moment looking around all around her for just who is causing this feeling instantly snapping her head upward to look back towards Casper High as she finds two teenagers looking back her way before she can raise up her guitar once again to send out a note to deal with this nuscience Ember witnesses a sight that she can't believe. The teenage boy standing at the entrance suddenly transforms when these two white circles travel up and down his body changing his appearance into none other than Danny Phantom. This transformation that makes her jaw drop before his companion catches her eye. A companion whose eyes go wide in realization as she glances back and forth between her and Phantom before going wide in horror.

Oh I've got you now dipstick. I might not know your name yet but I will soon. Very soon.

A reveal that just makes the smile return to her face. In fact it even widens further than it had before as she watches with amusement this so-called hero soar through the air to protect this annoying bald headed old man from being pummeled by the rampaging mob heading his way. The distraction that she needs before without thinking twice she makes herself along with the members of her band and the stage they are on disappear in a whirlwind of blue flames leaving a wide open space in the road as though they were never there.

" Tell me who you love!?"

Everything is set now. Everything that she would need anyways. The roaring crowd chanting her name from down below. The surge of power flowing through her veins making her feel invincible. All that is missing now is a certain green eyed ghost. Oh how she is going to enjoy this. Where once was a hero has now become a villain. A quote that she will make sure is written in the years to come after she gets through with him but first he needs to show up.

But that would have to wait for at least a moment when she hears gasps of outrage echo from down below. Fans that she sees looking off to the far right with angry expressions across their faces. Looking at what is causing this reaction instead of chanting her name for everyone to hear instantly Ember narrows her eyes in anger. The very same teenaged girl that she had seen standing next to Phantom hanging across the large cardboard cutout of herself making a mockery of her cutout.

" Hey everybody! Look it's Ember Mclame!"

Feeling the flame in her hair starting to die down to almost dangerous levels glancing up to her ponytail in worry seeing that she is right a surge of anger runs straight through Ember. But something was off. She could feel it in her dead bones. This teenage girl didn't pose a threat to her. Well maybe a little. Nobody disrespects Ember Mclain and makes it away not battered or bruised! No she was distracting her. And if she is here then where is her partner in crime?

" Oh great a critic. Maybe you'll like my new song better!"

Shouting it out at the top of her lungs making sure to already turn the dial to the right setting the she wants raising her left non gloved hand up in a threatening manner drawing Sam's undivided attention just as she starts to form an purple energy ball within her hand as though some kind of sixth sense was telling her that someone was approaching her from behind immediately Ember snaps around and unleashes the energy ball out of her hand sending it soaring through the air that hits an fast approaching Danny Phantom whose green hands had been glowing as though preparing a sneak attack on her. A plan that goes up in flames when the blast sends him soaring backwards and crashing into the wall as though he had been swatted away like a fly.

Smirking down at her fallen prey that just shakes his head to wipe away the cobwebs making sure to point her guitar directly at him in a swift clean motion rearing back Ember grazes the strings of her guitar and sends a powerful music note his way. A green music note that if you were to look closely on the insides you would find green skulls chopping away. Not the strongest of energy blasts that she could muster up but it will do. It isn't meant to hurt him. No why would she want to do that? He will soon be her's after all. No sense in hurting him when she can play a little with him instead. And just as she predicted he avoids the energy beam with a rather nice spin move heading directly back towards her with his right hand glowing green.

Not bad Babypop but you'll have to try harder than that to earn my affection.

Letting out a laugh making sure that he is watching this time with a snap of her fingers instantly Ember disappears in a whirlwind of blue flames right out from the music store and directly to the roof on top of another large cutout of herself. This moment alone that is broken up within a matter of seconds when she watches his head pop out from the ground from high above before the rest of his body emerges. Oh how it would be so easy for her to just hit him again with another energy wave. Possibly with one that would keep him down for the rest of the day allowing her concert to go smoothly but she has other ideas. True it might have crossed her mind once or twice before but she never thought she would ever be presented with this possibility. It would checkmark a lot of things for her. To ensure world domination was a no brainer but to have someone? Someone that would be able to understand her? It would be lonely at the top. Who better to share the power with than Amity Park's most treasured hero.

" Yo dipstick!? Up here!"

Instantly drawing his attention looking down towards him with a smirk knowing fully well what he is about to do before he does right when she sees him fire off an energy blast her direction Ember dodges the blast with ease allowing the energy beam to go untouched and smash into the cutout sending a evaporating a small section of the cutout.

" Dipstick oh ho so funny."

Deciding to tease him even further strapping her guitar over her shoulder motioning him to come over with her right gloved hand immediately as she sees him charging head matching his speed reaching out Ember catches Danny's closed fists into her hands and quickly locks fingers with him as she feels him trying to out power her. A pointless tactic in her book. Not with the energy outlet presented to her in the form of her fans still chanting her name from inside of the music store. He is strong. There is no doubt about that in her mind. His record speaks for itself. Skulker,Technus,Desiree,Vlad Masters,The Box Ghost….okay maybe the last one wasn't all that impressive but the first ones sure as hell was. Not to mention hearing the tale about how he along with many other ghosts had escaped Walker's Prison. That alone just showed there is a bad boy within him and she would pull it out of him before all is set and done.

But no matter how great these feats might be she is still more powerful than him right now. Perhaps he would be stronger if the hundreds of fans down below weren't giving her energy right now but unlucky for him then that they are here to stay. She is here to stay. Making sure to make that point loud and clear planting her feet in the ground staring directly into his face that starts to sweat flashing him a smirk with ease Ember pushes on forward gaining the upper hand by making his knees buckle and his body twist to the point where he is nearly touching the ground.

" Chanting makes you stronger."

" You've got that right Babypop and the more kids chanting the stronger, I get!"

Without giving him a chance to react making her strength known with a flick of her wrists instantly Ember sends Danny soaring over her shoulders and crashing into the large cardboard cutout causing the lines attached to snap instantly making the cutout soar downward and smash against the roof with a crash with only a small cardboard portion on the bottom keeping it from falling to the unexpected crowd that maybe walking the streets down below.

" You think i'm strong now just wait until midnight when my concert goes global and the whole world chants my name! Then you will all be my slaves!"

Quickly snapping her guitar back around into her waiting hands seeing him turning to look back towards her without any delay rearing back Ember sends a green energy music note that lands clean against Danny's chest sending him dropping out of the air and straight into the cardboard cutout causing an opening to instantly be made with only his legs sticking out. Strapping her guitar back over her shoulder once again descending down from the sky not even bothering to hide the sinister smile that comes across her face the moment her feet touch the roof instantly her attention is drawn to look behind her when she hears the door leading to the roof slam open revealing Sam.

" Get away from him!"

Staring at the black haired girl with amusement right as she sees her try to move away from the door and head towards the downed Phantom instantly Ember sends an very small energy beam from her index finger directly at the ground that Sam had been about to pass making her jump back in shock and turn to glare at her hatefully.

" Ah teen love. They say it never lasts. But lucky for me then that it doesn't count when you're a ghost. How unfortunate for you."

Being met with nothing but confusion from the teen standing directly behind her throwing her head back to let out a quick laugh shaking her head in amusement turning to face her not even bothering to grab her guitar with a smile Ember forms an energy ball in her hand.

" Whatever you might have thought you had with him is over. Babypop is mine now."

Not even given her a single second to register what she had just spoken with lightning fast speed snapping her hand up Ember blasts Sam away with an energy blast sending her back from where she once came. Glancing back over towards Phantom seeing the white rings once again making an appearance and start to turn him back to the teenager that he was before taking a step forward as a sudden thought occurs to her snapping around slightly instantly Ember sends another energy beam towards the door leading towards the room completely collapsing the entrance ensuring they won't be distrubed again.

Lowering her hand down to take in her handiwork nodding her head in satisfaction turning once again to face him without any delay Ember makes her way over to stand right in front of what was once the downed Danny Phantom now turned Danny Fenton. Crossing her arms under her chest looking down towards his face that even unconscious looks so peaceful to her letting out a sigh with a hint of a smile forming Ember shakes her head in amusement.

" Now the real fun begins."

Faint chants being heard in the background. A splitting headache just waiting to burst. His back feeling sore and yet surprisingly comfortable against whatever he is laying down on. Very strange things but he can't really complain. He is the definition of strange. A ghost hunting family. Wears the same outfit almost every single day and did he mention he is some sort of hybrid of a human and a ghost mixed together all in one? Yeah is definitely strange. But this comfortable feeling is very strange for him at the moment. He's sure he isn't laying on his bedroom bed. No the last thing he remembers is….

And just like that it hits him making him snap up to a sitting position with wide eyes. That's right. The very last thing he could remember was fighting against Ember on the rooftop of the music store. If you wanted to call it fighting anyways. He had gotten his ass kicked. Rather badly might he add. He could remember being blasted into the cardboard cutout but after that it all goes blank. Did Sam rescue him? Did she somehow capture Ember?

" Welcome back to the land of the living dipstick."

Instantly any future thoughts he might have been having go out the window as he snaps his head to look in the direction of the familiar voice finding Ember Mclain smirking at him from a chair directly across from him. A chair that she had turned and is watching him now with her head resting underneath her hands. The teen idol herself that in a short amount of time will try to take over the world. Will try to make everyone become her slaves unless he does something to stop her.

Fully knowing what he is about to pull not even bothering to move from her spot as she watches him snap up to his feet with his hands clutching into fists by his sides raising an eyebrow up in amusement at him instantly Ember has to suppress her laughter when she sees him close his eyes as his body starts to shake as though trying to transform. A transformation that will not come. He wasn't the only one that has achieved many great feats only unlike him in the matter she kept souvenirs.

" Having trouble there dipstick?"

Snapping open his eyes seeing a smirking Ember just staring directly at him silently while her eyes laugh silently at him staring at her in disbelief finding his voice Danny croaks out.

" What….what have you done to me?"

Rolling her eyes motioning with her right downwards to her neck the moment she sees his eyes dip downward only to have his eyes go wide in horror a wide grin comes across Ember's face.

" Like it? I would love to take the credit for that little gadget but you will have to thank Walker the night time you see him. That is if he allows you to continue remaining free. A thousand years in his prison. Man i've heard that he lays down the law but damn Babypop! That's gotta be an all time record for him. Anyways getting off track here. That little collar around your neck is his. It is designed to prevent ghosts from being able to activate their powers. I'm rather surprised he didn't use it on you back then but hell after all of the crap he's put other ghosts through the old timer had it coming."

Letting out a chuckle looking back up towards him only to find him still staring down at the collar in absolute horror feeling a bit of annoyance shoot through her rather loudly Ember snaps her fingers making Danny's head snap up to look her way.

" Were you even listening to me?"

No ghost powers. No being able to transform into Danny Phantom. He was in big trouble. Bigger trouble than he would have already been. Even if he could transform right now he would bet every cent that he owns that she would still be able to wipe the floor with him. Especially now if the chants outside of wherever they are is any indication. He thought she was powerful before. Nothing would compare to having to face her in front of a live concert audience. An audience that is not only in Amity Park but would be broadcast to the entire world where fans inside of their homes would be chanting her name. There was no way he could win. Especially now. His only hope now is somehow and someway Sam and Tucker are planning something to stop her.

Staring directly into his paling face having a good feeling of what is going through his mind right now crossing her arms over the back of the chair resting her head on top of them as she sees him silently nod his head in defeat Ember flashes him a quick smile.

" Good now dipstick, I was hoping to have some more time to train you but I've got a concert that is about to begin in…."

Snatching her cellphone out of her pocket looking away from his pale face immediately Ember looks down towards the screen.

" Two hours. That gives me about an hour and a half to start training you. I would have had more time but you decided to be a sleeping beauty."

Staring at her silently pocketing her cellphone as the words finally register Danny's eyes go as wide as saucers before he croaks out.

" Train!?"

Nodding her head happily not even bothering to hide her smirk getting up out of the chair making her way around swaying her hips slightly with this predatory look in her eyes that just makes him to her amusement back away from her with a furious blush coming across his face finally corning him up against a wall slowly reaching out with her right gloved hand towards him just as she sees his eyes dip down to her hand in fear instantly Ember brings her hand upward and flicks his nose with her index finger making him jump in surprise.

" Yes train. There is nothing that can stop me now. I am going to rule the world. The youth revolution is already in full motion. After tonight it will spread across the world with millions chanting my name. Soon after I will control everything. I will make the rules. I will make the decisions needed. I will lead the revolution for eternity. Which brings me to my next subject."

Leaning her face closer invading his personal face as she watches his face get redder and redder the closer she gets to his lips stopping before they connect Ember whispers out making a shiver run down Danny's spine from her hot breath touching his face.

" You."

Recoiling in shock that can't help but be shown across his face looking at her eyes trying to read them only to find amusement within them Danny watches rooted to his spot Ember nod her head and to his shock pin her hands on the wall behind him a few inches away from his head.

" Yes you. Do you know what the difference is between you and me? Nothing absolutely nothing. We're both ghosts. Lost souls that will wander the Earth even after everyone that we love has passed on. There is no escaping that fate. You may think I'm evil for what I'm about to do. I could say the same for you except the exact opposite. To tell you the truth there is no line between good and evil. There is good in all of us and there is evil as well. It's our actions that define us. As for me?"

Leaning even closer until they would have to go cross eyed to see the other's lips once again Ember whispers out.

" I like to be bad."

Without giving him a chance to react instantly Ember crashes her lips to Danny's own. A kiss that shocks him to the core making his whole entire face heat up until it turns crimson. A kiss that he is so shocked is even happening makes him freeze before the feeling of Ember grabbing his hands makes his brain reboot and his body responds to her making him kiss her back. Making his hands rise up to rest on her hips as he feels her arms snaking around the back of his neck. This heated kiss that is suddenly broken making him take a few much needed breaths before he opens his eyes to see her smirking at him.

" I want you to be with me. Together we will rule it all. We'll be the king and queen of the world."

Still flustered at this unforeseen kiss taking place flapping his mouth like a fish out of water staring into her eyes seeing that she is dead serious before he can come up with a response Danny is silenced when he feels the index finger of Ember's right gloved hand coming up to rest against his lips.

" But if you need more convincing I've got a few hours to kill and after tonight's concert when we're alone well…."

Returning her right gloved hand back behind the back of his neck leaning forward Ember leans her forehead against Danny's own.

" Use your imagination."
