Chapter 7: Ember, You Will Remember

Waking up with another scream once again, Danny was in his bed. He looks around his room to find no signs of beautiful females or magical greek words scattered across his walls nor anything. He yanks the cover off him and steps his right foot on the cold icy ground first. Now that both feet landed on the floor he observes his room, Making sure no one but him was in there. After a while he went downstairs since he strangely already had his clothes on. Daniel was greeted by a powerful hug from his sister with his parents in the background who looked so worried about him for some reason.

"Oh Danny, I'm so glad you're okay!" Jazz tightens the hug. "You scared us..."

Danny gently removes her arms around his neck. What on earth is she talking about? He backs away a little to get a better look at his over-emotional family who seems to be in tears.

"What's going on?" He asked anyone. "Am i the only normal person in this kitchen today?"

"He doesn't even remember! My Boy have anti-something caught up in his brain!" Jack panics as he drops to his knees, punching the ground over and over. "I knew i should've gotten that butter toast!"

Maddie sighs, bending her knees down to Jack's level. "It's amnesia hun."

Daniel's eyes became fairly large. "A-A-A-A-Amnesia?" He stutters to the point Jazz thought he was having a seizure.

"Danny are you alright?"

That word echoes through his eardrums down to his spine. This whole time all these evil demons who tried to take the souls of his lovers and enemies were...Not real? His mind was completely amazed by how it can dream so real and make things look realistic. Maybe something happened that he didn't remember, yeah that's it.

"Yeah." He answers Jazz. "Mom, Can you please explain to me what you mean by that? I'm so lost..."

Maddie raised Jack's heavy body off the floor with her. Danny could tell she didn't want to discuss the tragic topic again this time to her son, reliving every detail on what went down. He needed to know, if he didn't who knows if his 'dream' was really reality.

"Sit down Danny, This will take up alot of your time."

Maddie along with Jack and Jazz went towards the kitchen table and sat down. This can't be good if his dad understand what happened to him also. Daniel was the last Fenton to sit down. Every eye glare was placed on him not a single Fenton looked away from him. Maddie was the first to start off the story.

"You were unconscious for at least twenty-six days, We didn't know what happened to you. Jazz found you in your bedroom in near death. We didn't take you to the hospital, I kept you nice and safe in your room till you wake up. Every day i would check your blood pressure and heart with my new creation The Fenton Life storm. It gave us a bad result, telling us you had amnesia and it would be impossible to wake you up. All your friends and your girlfriend sent balloons, It was heart-breaking. As days went on my brain told me i had only one... Option, and that's pulling the cord. I forbid myself for making that drastic decision, And pulled myself together! Nursing you evert single day till i finally see my beautiful baby boy blue eyes again. Thankfully that day is here."

Jazz placed her warm hand onto Danny. She saw a tears come running down from his eye sockets. Was this happiness he was feeling? Or the thought of he could've died the day Jazz found him? None of that matters anymore, He scoots his chair back giving him enough space to get up. Daniel makes his way to Maddie and gave her a warmful hug. Jack hops up from his seat aswell and smashed his weight on Danny and Maddie, squeezing them both with great strength.

"Get over here Jazz!" Jack orders his oldest child to come join.

Jazz giggles at this and went on to the other side of the table to join in on the family hug. Danny felt so relieved that it was just a nightnare he had that's finally over. He broke off the hug first, claiming he had to get ready for school.

"Heh um, I'll be upstairs now." Danny makes his way back upstairs. "Give me six minutes!"

They didn't argue back with him, It was just very odd of Daniel to be so eager to go back considering he had amnesia. Who will he remember? Will they kicked him out for this? Maddie and the others went on with their day, continuing to eat breakfast without the Ghost child. In his bedroom Danny was searching everywhere for something, Like his life needed to find this one item.

"Come on, Come on! Where is it!?" Daniel searching in his closet. "Where is it?"

He checks the last place he haven't searched yet, underneath his bed. Danny goes under his bed and pulled out a black box that had spikes and dust on it. He knew this box was the right one since it had a huge six number that was in red ink. He opens the box without hesitation to find nothing was in it. Daniel was utterly confused, First he finds the box that gave him hell then discovers it was only a regular box? He didn't buy it not one bit, There's something up with this box He wondered. It felt so light but heavy at the same time. Danny needed more answers if he wants to feel safe and easy again-

"Why does this box feel so, Familiar?" He looks under the box seeing words he couldn't understand. "I-Is this greek!?"

Indeed it was. The words were mix in with other words, Clearly unreadable. Who was able to read greek that he knew? It wasn't Jazz, Most certainly wasn't Tucker. Who then? That question sparked up a full name and a memory. He answered his own damn question

"That old lady." His mouth opens wide. "Maybe she'll help me out in this, She did warn me about this."

Instead of going back downstairs, He went intangible and flew outside his wall in the search for the Elder lady's guidance. Elsewhere, taking things far back to the an unknown location, Ember just finish her final concert. McLain was at Far- Frozen the whole time, Rocking her music to the crowd of yetis. The punk star was famous across the world, Not just Amity Park. She had places and shows to be, Not wasting her time like her idiot ex boyfriend who chase after that loser Phantom everyday. The girl had a life, Even if her 'real' life was taken down by flames she still had her inner confidence to show the world she can still rock on, Without being alive.

"Tell me who you love!" Ember throws up a rock on hand sign in front of the crowd.

EMBER, EMBER, EMBER, EMBER

Her hair sparks up the flames growing bigger than before. She feeds off her name, Giving her more power for great destruction. If only the world could chant her name...Then she will be unbeatable.

"Sing again, Sing again!" One yeti encores hoping she would replay her song to them.

Ember smirks as she looks back at her band mates. They didn't say anything, only toss up a rock hand sign ready to perform again. She moves her head back to the crowd throwing up a rock on hand sign as well. Her drummer starts the music off by banging his left drum stick hard on the middle tom while adding beat on his right drum stick to the Hi-Hat ride cymbal. Next her guitarist adds her theme song beat to the mix, Playing now 'Remember Ember'.

Yeah! Ohh-ooohhh!

It was, it was September,

Wind blows, the dead leaves fall,

To you, I did surrender,

Two weeks, you didn't call...

Your life goes on without me,

My life, a losing game,

But you should, you should not doubt me,

You will remember my name...

Oh, Ember, you will remember!

Ember, one thing remains!

Oh, Ember, so warm and tender!

You will remember my name!

Your heart, your heart abandoned,

You're wrong, now bear the shame,

Like dead trees in cold December,

Nothing, but ashes remain...

Oh, Ember, you will remember!

Ember, one thing remains!

Ember, so warm and tender!

You will remember my name!

Oh-woo-oh-woo, Ember!

You will remember!

Ember, one thing remains!

Ember, so warm and tender!

You will remember my name!

Yeah! You will remember my name

The crowd of yetis burst out with screams. It felt like they were humans to Ember. Her hair grew more powerful, Having her hair melt down the ice around her. Gaining enough energy she had no use for this place anynore. Before she could leave their leader, Frostbite gave her a serious warning.

"Be careful, Miss McLain i feel great danger among the Ghost Zone."

"Careful? Of what? Now that i have the power, I can end that Dipstick's life once and for all!" Ember slams her fist inside her other hand.

"That's not the point." Frostbite explains. "Evil entities are surfacing around outside of here, The Savior of the Ghost Zone did not cause this, Only the spirits that's lock up inside of him."

Ember rolled her eyes and ignored his warnings. "Whatever, I have business to take care of."

The Ghost Diva disappears in a hair-flame tornado, going back to the Ghost Zone.

Fortune Teller area, Time: 6:45 PM~

Danny reached his stop and found the tent in the same area he last saw it. He lands his feet back on the ground, speeding his way inside the gloomy scary tent. The Elder lady he was looking for, was surpisely there. She was stirring something in a old black pot that was probably made from the late 40's. He went closer till he accidentally touched a trap book setting a rope to catch him instantly. The old lady sips on her magical soup, As she knew the boy who took her box nine years ago, Now coming back to her in need of help.

"So, You decided to show your pitiful face again i see." The old lady sips again on her soup. "Why Are you here Ghost Child?"

Daniel rips apart the net with his ghost aura. This caused him to flop down on the ground in a flash. Danny heads over to the lady, Showing her the exact same box she warned him about.

"You gotta help me! This box is a curse!" He drops the empty box on a wooden table.

She grabs the box off the table, Her eyes became big jawbreakers. What did this idiot of a boy do!? Her thoughts came into play when he feels anger building up inside her, This can't be good.

"What have you done!?" She angrily questioned him. "You allowed the demons to escape!? How stupid can you get!?"

"Hey, I didn't do anything!" He exclaims.

The old lady throws the empty black box at Danny leaving him with a bloody nose. Why the heck is she so dang angry all of a sudden?

"You nincompoop! Letting out one demon is bad enough, But opening the box for all of them is stupid! Who knows how many souls they gotten out of you. Your stupidity will lead us all floating down in lava straight to hell!"

The lady was so angry she flicks away her magic ingredient recipes and potions off her wooden table. Daniel backs away from her, still having his two hands cover his bloody nose.

"What time is it?"

"Wha?-"

"What time is it!?" She demanded.

Danny checks around to see if he can find a clock. He soon finds one, It was a annoying old school cat clock that moves left to right when the actual clock ticks.

"I-It's 6:50." He replies back almost sweating his life away. "What's wrong?"

The elder lady picks up her belongings one by one then responded coldly. "I see. Today is her day huh? Who would've thought the 5th queen out of the Seven Queens of Purgatory will have a chance to obtain a soul. After her...It's game over."

"Game...Over? What do you mean?" Daniel freaks out by hearing that one word.

"Did i stutter? The human world will turn into another portal to hell, Once the demon sisters give their souls to 'him'."

He rushes towards The elder lady who was taking her time in picking up her items. "Is there a way i can...Stop it!?"

She picks up her last belongings and heads back to making her magical soup. Danny got a better view in looking at The elder lady's appearance. She had purple eyelids long eyelashes tipped with small gold balls and a nose ring. It seems she has- heterochromia, her right eye has an orange iris and the left one has green and orange coloring. She wears a large golden earing on her right ear. Her attire consists of a green dress covered by a purple cape and a blue hood.

"For a extra fee i will give you the information you need." She pours a yellow liquid in her black pot.

The Ghost boy digs in his pockets to see if he had any money left, And he did. It wasn't much, But it something. You can pretty much buy food with twenty dollars.

"Here."

She snatches the twenty bucks and place it inside her hood. That old lady would take anything, Just don't swindle her, She despises the greedy and the inhospitable, and subjects them to spells that only repair when their sins are reversed.

"Very well." The elder lady went to her bookshelf, pulling out a ancient dirty book

She slams the book on the table in front of them, flipping through every page till she saw a page where a demon was drowning what appears to be in sunlight.

"Is this suppose to be a clue?"

The lady nods. "Yes. Amorous is powerful, But her weakness is her downfall. She is quite smart in placing a hallucination time lapse spell for now, Till the actual sun comes down."

"I'm not really following you gramps." Danny sniffs his runny blood snot back to his nose. "Does this means we won?"

"No you idiot! This!" She smash her index finger on the page, pointing directly at the sun. "That demon Amorous, Is stalling. She is waiting till dark to make her move. The only way you can finish her off is pure light. When that clock reaches 8:00 she will be searching for you."

Daniel had so many questions to ask her, But his biggest concern is not with Amorous, His main concern was about the greek language that was found underneath the black box. He went over and picked up the box that was on the floor. Danny place the box gently on the table, The elder lady was confused as to why he still cared about a box that was empty and useless to them.

"Tell me what does this say." He shows her the greek writing under the box.

The older lady squinch her eyes together to see the small words that was placed on the box. She read the words in greek too get a better understanding.

Επιστρέψτε τη πλάκα! Επιστρέψτε την πλάκα, ή υποφέρετε την κατάρα μου! Αυτή τη νύχτα, θα επισκεφτείτε τρεις πληγές! Κάθε χειρότερο από το τελευταίο!

"Um, What?" Danny looked puzzled by what she was saying. "English perhaps?"

"It says. 'Return the slab! Return the slab, or suffer my curse! This night, you will be visited by three plagues! Each worse than the last! Return the slab!"

Hearing those words gave Danny goosebumps. Those ancient greek words haunted Daniel, But what does it mean? What the heck is a slab?

"Explain to me more about this 'Slab' item you're talking about." Danny's curiosity took over him.

Ghost Zone, Time: 7:12 PM~

In the Ghost Zone it was a living nightmare for Ember. Every ghost was acting so...weird. Skulker didn't bother her like he usually does, Johnny 13 wasn't around at all. Spectra was acting like a complete Zombie searching for brains or whatever, And Kitty? Speaking of her Ember was at her Realm knocking on her door, Quite worried about her best friend whereabouts.

"Kitty! Open up! It's me Ember" The Ghost Rocker knocked on her door.

Ember stops upon seeing the door crack open on it's own. Weird. She enters her friend's Realm, basically trespassing. Ember didn't have to search for Kitty at all, she was sitting on couch watching T.V? Odd. She floats to her best friend to see what's been going while she was away.

"Kitty?" Ember sat beside her on the couch. "Can i talk to you?"

"Hm?"

"Can you explain what the hell is going on? Skulker is acting weird, Your idiot boyfriend is not at his Realm or The Ghost Bar, Spectra isn't herself today, The freaking Ghost Zone is Red-!"

Kitty silence her with a kiss on the lips. Their lips became as one, Ember's expression was at a near explosion. The punk diva pushes her best friend off her and quickly raised her body in the air, Now floating.

"The heck Kitty?!" Ember wipes her mouth in disgust. "You know i don't swing that- way, Are you okay?"

Kitty remains sitting on the couch, still locking eyes back at the T.V in a creepy type of way, What's more scary is that the channel she was watching wasn't even a program, It was a black and white static screen. Ember floats in front of her waving her hands up and down in Kitty's face, The Biker girl didn't blink not one bit.

"Kitty? Hello?!" Ember shakes her hand right in her face, having no results in waking her best friend from a endless trance,

The Rock Queen eventually stops. She got annoyed by this very easily and gave up. She let her best friend be weird like the others for today. She flys out of her Realm intangible, heading to the Ghost Bar at her own speed. Ember only been gone for three days and this happened? Ghost Zone isn't the same, Her friends is werid, Hardly anyone is around, No one. That was until she sees her Ex boyfriend coming at her with a cool badboy vibe, Which didn't impress her not the slightest-

"Tsk. Skulker." Ember address him in an unpleasant tone of voice. "Maybe you know why this place is acting so weird."

Skulker's appearance looked so different compared to his original looks. His- electric green eyes, And electric green flaming hair was now both red. His face expression wasn't evil, Instead it was calm and sad? Maybe she should consider not leaving so far when she have her next concert.

"Hm? Weird? Whatever do you mean, Amber?" Skulker using her real name.

Ember's jaw was literally broken. No one but Kitty knew her real name. How did this robot dirtbag knows it? Kitty would've never reveal her secrets to anyone, Especially not to Skulker. She jerks his shirt towards her giving him a deadly stare. The Rockstar didn't like to be toyed with, definitely not with Skulker.

"Don't ever say that name again!" She let's go of him, Moving him away from her with a hard shove-

Skulker brush off the invisible dust and politely continue his conversation with Ember. "Very Well. Don't you remember?"

Ember lifts an eyebrow in confusion, "-Remember what exactly?"

"The second plague that took place seven days ago. I thought you would be here. to see it." Skulker told her.

The diva growls at him. Plague? What Plague? Ember asked him a question she's been dying to know every since she got back to Ghost zone.

"What's wrong with Kitty? She's weird, You're weird, Johnny isn't here, Spectra is acting dumb, Everything is so...Stupid!"

Skulker chuckles at this and responds. "One Kitty always been like that, Crazy. Two Johnny 13 is a human who doesn't know about Ghost zone, And lastly Three, Spectra is coping in a tragic loss of her husband, Bertrand."

He can't be serious. Is this some type of nightmare she was living in?! This can't be true, None of this is freaking real! Ember slaps her right cheek, snapping herself back to the real world. This place was too toxic for Ember's taste, She knew this can be the work of...

"Phantom." She grinds her teeth angrily. "Wait till i find that Punk, He's so Dead"

Ember lifts her right arm in the air. She left in a whirlwind of flames. Her main goal was simple find Phantom, Kill him. This joke went on long enough and it wasn't amusing for Ember. This whole Ghost Zone was corrupted, Soon Danny will too be corrupted...By Ember's fist.

Amity Park, Time: 7:22 PM~

Daniel had his face burried inside a map The Elder lady gave him, So he can search for this 'Slab' item that's located somewhere around Amity Park. While not looking, He bumps into two people he at least expected. This won't end good.

"Sorry I-"

"Watch where you going Fenturd!" A male boy who alerted Danny to watch his step,

"T-Tucker!?" Danny's eyes bolted out of his eye sockets. He looks to his left to find his other best friend slash long time secret crush, Sam. They were holding hands!? Not the way a friend would do, But in a romantic relationship type of way. Daniel knew this was Amorous spell to stall him till night, This is spell just ain't right to put him in this situation.

"Sorry." He apologize, then proceeds to go straight again. By the time he was far enough for them, he looks back at the 'couple' who were walking peacefully together...Happy. Danny wanted to kick Tucker's butt so bad but this world wasn't real nor their relationship. The real Sam would've vomit if Tucker liked her like that. Enough said, The Ghost boy didn't approve of this world. His family is overemotional, Dash and Kwan is surpisely his two best friends, It gets worst Paulina is his girlfriend. This alternate universe was too much for him.

Daniel exhales. "This might take years to find! I know granny Shirley said it was located around here...But Where!?"

"Well, Well. I finally found the Dipstick."

The Ghost Child looks upwards to see Ember McClain floating up over him. At first Danny didn't have time to fight her as he was on a serious time limit. But his memories of him talking to The Older Lady refresh his true goal.

*Mini Flashback*

A female name Ember, She's a ghost. Don't waste your time fighting her. If she does come to Amity Park, you must convince her that she's in great trouble.

"Ember...H-How did you-"

Enough! If you fail this task, Ember's only soul she have left will be gone. You two must work together, And find the Slab and return it back to me. I will place the seal back on the box. The Slab is the demons weakness! Hurry, Night will be her new power soon.

*End of FlashBack*

"Ember, Stop!"

Danny dodges her attacks. She used her guitar swinging it around to hit Daniel. He jumps a great amount of distance away from her, still in his base form.

"Stop? Don't make me laugh Baby pop!" Ember fires a pink blast from her guitar.

The Ghost boy used his arms to protect himself from her blast. Sadly, Her power attack sent him flying backwards scraping the concrete, Then crashed at the nearest Amity Park welcome sign. The black haired boy looked nearly done for, But that's only because he was still holding off on turning Ghost. Ember flys over to him with anger and hatred in her eyes. What did he do to her?

"All my friends are weird because of you!" Ember says, ready to strum another power cord.

"M-My fault? Look around you, We're the only ones who appears to be normal!" Danny stated a good point.

Ember looks around to see he was right. This place wasn't how she remembered it being like. She didn't want to admit the boy she had hate for was right. That doesn't mean she is willingly to stand her guard down.

"Fix this...Now." Her electric guitar glows pink. One more wrong move on his part, and he'll be gone for sure.

"I would, But you blasted me for no reason! Have you seen this anywhere!?"

Danny shows her a picture of a gold large, flat piece of stone. It appears to be the the slab Skulker was talking about. No matter this still doesn't explain why things are so weird and strange for Ember.

"No? What of it."

"Can you please help me find it!? If we don't, bad things will happen-!"

"You need my help!? Ha! Why don't you get your goth wacky girlfriend or geek boy to help." Ember teases him, causing him to blush heavily.

"She isn't my girlfriend!" Daniel claims.

"Whatever." Ember said not really caring if she is or isn't the Dipstick's girlfriend-

"You are kinda cute though Ember..."

Danny quickly covers his mouth wishing he didn't let that thought escape out of his lips. Ember was now blushing aswell. She took three steps back away from him,

"T-The hell you just say!?" Ember blushed at the unexpected compliment

The Ghost Boy cheeks redden even more. "Forget it! I didn't even mean none of it!!!"

Ember's heart burst into flames. She could feel her heart broken to pieces, The Ghost Diva was stubborn to admit she had a solid crush on Phantom. What he said however, Changed her thoughts about him all together. Her cheeks tint up in a bright red color. Her embarrassment reached maximum overload, McClain don't take things likely when she gets rejected. It reminds her so much about her past.

"Forget it? Let me forget you entirely!"

Ember turns the guitar nob to Attack mode. She slams her guitar pick on her guitar string sending a power fist heading Danny's way. Before he could go Phantom the attack already punch him straight in the jaw. His slim body clash into another building across the street from Ember. Today wasn't his lucky day at all, He didn't land a single punch at Ember ever since she got there. Far away, Daniel used his superhuman strength to move a car that was completely mashed on top of him.

"That's it! I'm going Ghost!" Danny shouted his catchphrase as two sliver rings move away from each other at the opposite direction. He was now Phantom-

The white haired teen glares at the now glitchy sky. The sun's light was disappearing on Daniel. He could almost feel Amorous negative energy- approaching soon. He focus back on Ember who was walking towards him with fire in her eyes. He's in a bad pickle for he had four minutes to deal with Ember's rage and talk some sense to her about the bad situation they were in.

"Ugh, This can't be happening..." Phantom thought, Getting ready for Ember's next attack. "She can't be serious about this,"

Underground Hell, Time: 7:49 PM~

In Hell, Amorous can see the fight between Danny and Ember clearly inside a red crystal ball. She stayed in the shadows, sitting on her thorne only allowing her beautiful tan legs and part of red dress to show. Sitting next to her was her two well behaved hellhounds. They are supernatural demon dogs who have the ability of speed and super strength, if provoked. Their appearance are absolutely scary. This includes mangled black fur, glowing red eyes, Phantom characteristics, and a foul odor. Amorous is the only known sister to have a pet, Well apart from Amatory having a turtle. The eldest demon watches the fight with an amused face expression.

"My time is almost here, Master." Amorous says to herself, sipping down her favorite wine, Blood vessels.

Her time to herself was interrupted by her Father. The true demon himself, walks to his first daughter and greeted her with a evil smile.

"Are you ready my dear?" He asked while looking at the red crystal ball too.

A flush of embarrassment rose to her cheeks from her Father wanting to know everything. "Daddy...You know i have things under control."

He raised his eyebrows and offered her some assistance- "Wouldn't it be more better if i can aid you dear? That way, You'll have a easy time obtaining her soul more quicker."

Amorous clutches her wine glass, eventually breaking it from frustration.

"No! Don't patronize me Father. Avidity made her choice to make another deal with you without force, So let me handle things my way! I won't stand waiting another century to find someone stupid enough to open the box up again, I won't."

The impact of her voice made her shadows spread out of control. After a few seconds later she calms down. Her Father felt the need this wasn't his place to shine, He let's Amorous have this once in a life time chance to get her own soul alone.

"Can i at least walk my favorite daughter to her location? It's time for everyone to know what night of lust is all about."

Amorous happily nods. "Of course, Now is the time for judgement to take over."

She gets up from her royalty throne, Leaving with her Father 'Lucifer' and her two homicidal hellhounds. Once she arrives there, Daniel will feel the power of her lust and anyone who stands in her way, Including Ember. She's the last demon to gain her soul, When she does get it there won't be anyone stopping her from having her human life back that's been snatched away from her 27 years ago. Getting this soul means everything to her, She will have a chance to be human again along with her sisters, Will finally be at peace forever.

End.

Next Time: Ember, You Will Remember Part 2

A/N: I know that you maybe wondering where's the 'lemon' in this chapter, That's because Amorous the demon couldn't come out during daytime. Part 2 will be night time, where she mainly appears. The lemon will be on the next Chapter.
