Second Chance at Life.

A Danny Phantom fic by Gildy AKA YaoiUke.

Chapter 12.

Ember was just sitting in front of his laptop that evening, just after the small incident at the school. He had nothing to do besides or replying e-mails and deleting loads of junk mails from his inbox folder. Absent mindedly, his hand stretched away from the laptop and his fingers clamped firmly on something that fifteen years old wouldn’t even dare to think about. His fingers clamped on a lit cigarette. He brought the cigarette into his lips and inhales a good dose of nicotine into his lungs. A coughing fit followed soon after.

“Damn… I’ve to stop doing a thirty four years old stuff in fifteen years old body” Ember grimaced as he put the cigarette out. He rose from his seat and walked toward a window, which he promptly open to bring some fresh air in.

“Hmm… What a moonless night…” He sighed as he put himself down on the window frame. Ember tilted his head, looking at his own, empty apartment. He was rather fortunate that no one was suspicious of the fact that a sixteen years old boy was living by himself.

“And wheres that Godparent of mine…” Ember sighed loudly.

“Sorry I was late… I was visiting my old friends” Out of nowhere, a tall and very muscular man appeared. He was holding a rather tall scepter as well with a glowing star at the end of it.

“Ah, I just want to remind you that PTA meeting is next week… So you better play convincing role as my father, Jorgen…” Ember tilted his face to see the man.

“Don’t worry, I, Jorgen Von Strangle, am the best Fairy Godparents ever and I shall not let my Godchild down !”.

“Just don’t overdo it…” Ember buried his face in his palm. “Why can’t I have a better fairy instead… No, Jorgen is WAY better than… Cosmo…” He thought miserably.

“How’s your day, Ember ?” Jorgen stood next to Ember.

“Not too bad, I suppose…. Although I’m somewhat concerned…”

“About ?”

“Ghost zone. Sooner or later, I’ll have to return there… As the last of the resistance, I’ve to take the overlord down…” Ember paused. “But that also mean that I will change back into ghost permanently…I’ll become his enemy again…”

“Daniel Fenton ?”

“Yes…” Ember cast his eyes down at an empty street below.

“… I see…”

“Heh… I probably worry too much…. I should thank you for supporting me though…”

“Don’t… I’m only doing this because fairy council wishes so… Still, I never have a Godchild so responsible like you, Ember”.

“So the Fairy World council is also uneasy because of the overlord, eh ?”

“Even the Head Pixy supports the fairy in this matter…”

“I never thought it was this bad-“ Suddenly, Ember’ ghost sense flares up. It flared up just when he saw something white streaked almost at street level. He recognized that white streak right away. “Danny…” Ember rose from the window frame and dived into the street level. “Going phantom !” He whispered as he transformed into ghost.

“Be careful, Ember, I don’t want to lose a Godchild like you…”

“Hey, Danny !. Wait up !”

“Ember ?!. Thank goodness you’re here !”

“What’s wrong ?”

“Massive ghost infiltration !”

“Define massive…”

Suddenly, Danny’s mobile phone rang. “Danny, ghost at the park !” Tucker’s voice burst out from the phone.

“I’ll handle that” Ember peeled away from the formation and flew toward the park.

He arrived just in time as he spotted a ghost that looked like a giant cobra is about to sink its fangs into Tucker. Ember focused his power to his two fingers and released sufficient amount of energy to punch a hole on the ghostly cobra’s cranium, ending its ghost life for good.

“Ember, did you just…?”

“Yes, I killed that ghost” Ember said as he floated down to land next to Tucker.

“Wow… I never seen something like that before” Tucker stared at the ghostly snake that started to vanish into thin air. He, Danny and Sam usually caught the ghost and return them to the ghost zone, not kill them instantly.

“Well, thanks for saving my skin” Tucker raised a thumb up at Ember.

“No problem” Ember winked as he leaped up, and flew off toward where he came from. He followed his ghost sense and it lead them into Danny, who was just subdued a wolf like ghost that was about to pounce Sam in the vicinity of Nasty Burger.

He was about to give the ghost another nice dose of Snipeshot Ecto Ray when Danny successfully subdued it into the Fenton Thermos. “Man… You should’ve killed it instead” Ember shook his head as he landed just next to Sam.

“I don’t know, Ember… “ Danny frowned at Ember as he screwed the cap of the Fenton Thermos on. “I tried not to hurt them when possible”.

Ember looked slightly disappointed, however, he didn’t press the issue.

Suddenly
-

Jorgen Von Strangle appeared in front of Ember and the rest of his friend. “Ember !. Bad news !. Ghost appeared in… Nevermind…”

“WHERE ?!”

“I don’t want to say the name…”

“Spit it out, Jorgen !”

“Endsville…”

“Endsville ?... Right, I’m on my way”

“Wait… Beware, a powerful being resides in Endsville and believe me, you don’t want to see him…”

“Oh, it’s probably no one scary… Besides who could be scarier than the death himself ?” Ember laughed.

“Well… That person is THE death…”

“Wait…You’re joking…”

“You’ll see…” With that Jorgen disappeared.

“Man… He’s not making this easier…. Let’s go, Danny… This one sounds serious” Ember leaped up and started to fly due south.

“Hey, wait up !” Danny followed Ember quickly.

“Who was that guy ?” Danny asked Ember while in mid flight to Endsville.

“Jorgen Von Strangle. He used to be one of my ally during my days with the resistance in the ghost zone, but at the moment, he acted as my Fairy Godparents” Ember replied.

“Wow, you’ve a godparent ?!”

“Yes…He acted as my dad when I register into that school and when I applied for that apartment”.

“You’re lucky…”

“Not really, he don’t grant me any wish because I’m technically adult”

“Damn…”

The two Halfas approached Endsville and their ghost sense suddenly flares up. Even from the distance, they can saw some ghosts flying around the place, terrorizing the residents of Endsville. However, once in a while, there was a streak of green light that pulverizes the ghost it touches. Clearly, someone or something was defending the city.

“Heads up, here we go again” Danny peeled from the formation and fly low at street level. Ember kept his altitude, picking the ghost that flew high into his path. The two finally saw someone clothed in black was fighting all the ghosts by himself.

“He’s good…” Danny whispered as he observed the person who fought the ghost alone.

“Who is he ?” Ember frowned as well as he joined Danny in low level formation flight.

The two landed not far away from the person who was still fighting the ghosts. “Hey !... We’re helping out !” Danny dashed toward that person and started to blasts the ghosts down with well aimed Ecto Blast.

“Much appreciated, man !” The figure in black replied with thick Jamaican accent.

“Don’t forget about me !” Ember joined the fray. However, he stopped just few feet away from Danny and the figure. He felt cold sweat ran down on his forehead. His breathing became irregular and short as if something or someone sucked all of the air out from his lungs. “I… I know this feeling….” Ember looked down on his hand and notice that he had severe goose bumps.

Rather than joining the fray, Ember backed away and fought the ghosts rather far away from Danny and the figure. The fight didn’t last that long. After about 20 minutes, all of the offending ghosts has been captured or killed.

“Thanks again for the help man” The figure turned around to shakes Danny’s hand.

Danny will not forget what he saw. Instead of a face, he saw a glistening white human skull hidden by the black hood and cloak. The weapon that the figure used to fight the ghost away stopped to shine and revealed its true form, a scythe.

“N… No… This can’t be…” Ember paled and started to back away. He had seen that figure before.

“YOU !” The figure pointed a bony finger at Ember.

“N… No… Not again… Please…” Ember stumbled backward and crawled away from him.

“How on earth did you return here ?” The figure asked.

“Uh… Ember…” Danny looked at Ember and at the figure. “You know this guy ?”

“Danny… He is THE Grim Reaper….” Ember fainted and reverted into human form.

“Wow… The Grim Reaper… for real ?!” Danny looked somehow excited as he reverted into human form.

“Yes, man. I am the Grim Reaper… And how does she… I mean he… I mean Ember McLain returned to this world as a person ?. I reap her soul long time ago…” Grim Reaper looked at fainted Ember in confusion.

“Long story, Mr. Reaper”.

“Call me Grim”.

“Right, Grim… Well… You see, there was this….”

-

“Oohh… My head….” Ember slowly regained himself. He felt extremely dizzy.

“Welcome back McLain”

“GRIM REAPER !!” Ember fainted again.

“Ookay, maybe you should keep your distance away from him for awhile, Grim…” Danny shook his head as he fans Ember with his hand.

“… I still don’t trust you…” Ember glared at the Grim Reaper with much hate.

“Don’t blame me, I’m just doing my job man” Grim replied with his thick Jamaican accent.

“Right… You have to reap me when I was at the golden age of my career…”

“Guys, this is getting nowhere… I told Grim about our situation and he agreed to help us” Danny sighed, breaking the tension between Grim and Ember.

“Are you sure, no one in the ghost zone will be happy to see you Grim, unless they died of old age…”

“Now that McLain mentioned it…” Grim tapped his skeletal chin.

“Many people… I mean ghosts… Hold a grudge against him ?” Danny looked at Ember.

“Yes… I know that Technus would be happy to strangle you with some power cables, Grim… Not to mention Walker, if he still around… And Johnny 13 would be very happy to run you down with his bike… And Skulker is more than happy to shoot you like sitting duck-“

“Okay, okay, I got the point” Danny sighed.

“Be that as it may, ghost zone is part of the underworld and I can’t leave it to ruin” Grim crossed his hands.

“You already did” Said Ember.

“Then I’m going to fix it !”.

“Whatever… Let’s go, Danny… Our Job is finished” Ember didn’t say another word and transform into ghost mode. He flew as fast as he could toward Amityville.

“Sorry about that… He’s upset…” Danny tried to apologize on Ember’s behalf.

“I’m not surprised at all, Daniel… But don’t worry, I’ll keep my promise” Grim reached for his pocket and produced a red crystal ball. He handed the crystal to Danny. “Whenever you need my help, just whisper my name into that crystal and I’ll be there at no time”

“Wow… Thanks…” Danny took the crystal. He held it against the light of a street light and tucked it safely into his pocket.

“Please call me often, I hate being in this town…”

“Why ?”

“Well… There’s this two mortals that really ticks me off…”

“Okay then, I’ll call you as many as I can then you can join us in catching some loose ghosts”.

“Sweet !” Grim smiled cheerfully.

“Heh… See ya around then, Grim” Danny transformed into ghost mode and flew toward Amityville.

“Heh… What a nice Halfa” Grim smiled as he waved toward Danny.
