Ember's Realm, Ghost Zone

"You bastard!" screamed Ember, enraged at her soon to be ex-boyfriend, Skulker. A fight had erupted in the punk princess's realm after the hunter had made another one of his women-degrading comments, and this time he crossed the line.

20 minutes before

The sounds of guitar strings plucking could be heard throughout the small, apartment-like realm as Ember tuned her mystic guitar. The sound of knocking was just barely heard over that, and the blue-haired ghost went to check her realm door, expecting Kitty and Johnny, and came face to metal chest plate with her boyfriend.

"Finally you answer. I've been waiting out here for ten minutes! Well, aren't you gonna let me in?" Skulker pushed past Ember into the realm and sat on her couch. Ember remained at the door, peeved at the punkish boldness her boyfriend showed. She closed the door, just barely avoiding slamming it, and headed in to see Skulker lazing on her couch.

"Hey babe, find the remote. And while you're at it, I'm starved. A sandwich would be satisfactory after all the hunting I did today," the ghost man demanded.

"Find the remote your own damn self. Or are you not as good of a hunter as you thought out were? I guess not, because I don't see any 'prey'," she grumpily replied.

"I'll have you know I was hunting the whelp. He barely escaped my traps. I will have his pelt, some day!"

"Oh, so you got your ass kicked by the dipstick again? No surprise there. I don't see why you don't give up," she quickly crushed his dreams.

"How dare you?! I am Skulker, greatest hunter of the Ghost Zone! I don't give up! I will have the whelp's pelt, and I'll have you skin it."

"Oh hell no! I am not helping you in your sick hobby, or skinning that scrawny Phantom."

"But you will. I'll make you. Besides, it is a woman's job to prepare the catch," he replied hotly.

Present time

"You bastard! How dare you say something so sexist to me? I'm your girlfriend, not your bitch!" Screaming in rage, she stomped towards her room.

"Well you sure act like one!" he called out to her as she walked. She froze in place just before entering her room. Shaking her head, she headed in and grabbed her guitar. Walking back out to Skulker, she set her guitar to the power chord. Looking right in his eyes, she scarily and calmly said, "We're through."

Before blasting him with a power chord off her couch.

Skulker quickly recovered, aiming a wrist cannon at Ember, now just as pissed off as the flaming girl. "You'll pay for that, witch."

Shooting an ecto-blast, he jump into the hall, not caring that it missed his now ex-girlfriend. Ember easily deflected the blast and set after the hunter. Setting her guitar to the power fist, she struck the strings, pointing the musical weapon at Skulker. He dodged, throwing an explosive at her, causing her to dive back into the room.

Skulker used this time to make his escape, but not before arming something that looked suspiciously like a bomb and throwing it into the room Ember was holed up in.

"Have fun in the after-afterlife!" he cried out before jet packing off into the Zone. Ember, seeing the bomb, freaked out, knowing it'd do some real damage, and possibly kill her again if she remained. She quickly teleported in a whirlwind of flame seconds before it went off.

Reappearing several hundred feet away from her realm, she watched as it collapsed internally after the explosion. Her realm was gone, for good, and there was no getting another anytime soon.

At the same time, 20 minutes ago

Danny Phantom entered the GZ through his parents' Ghost Portal, setting a track for Clockwork's tower.

"Man, I wonder what old Father Time has for me now. Hopefully, nothing bad. I'd hate to make a trip through the Zone for nothing," the halfa said to himself. Flying past realm doors and floating, green rock islands, the halfa slowed down when he heard muffled blasts a few doors down. Thinking it was nothing, Danny passed by, turning around when he heard a door open and Skulker yell.

He watched as the hunter threw a device into the door and flew off. He followed the ghost at high speed, tackling Skulker in midair. "What was that, Skulker?!"

"None of your business, whelp. Just a breakup and a 'bomb voyage' as they say," the hunter chuckled darkly. The halfa powered up an ecto-ray, pointing at the mechanical head of the ghost.

"A breakup? With who? And wait, a bomb?! You better start talking, Skulker, or I'll finish what I started today and destroy your suit," Danny growled.

"With my bitch of an ex, Ember. And why do you care, whelp? Now let go of me, or I'll skin you!" No sooner had he said this then he shot Danny in the stomach with a low ecto-blast, making his quick escape.

Holding his stomach, Danny chose not to pursue Skulker. Why do I care about Ember? She's just another enemy, right?

A blast resounded in the background, and he turned to see a door disintegrate and a shockwave shoot from where it had floated. He faced away from the blast, taking the brunt of the wave. Looking up after getting pushed a few feet in his free floating state, he noticed a blue flame a bit away.

Thank god she's okay. Wait, what? His frantic thoughts played through his mind as he decided to make sure Ember was okay.

"What do you want, Baby-pop? Can't you see my damn realm just got blown to smithereens! Leave me alone," she seethed as Danny approached.

"Just checkin' on you, Ember. I heard about the breakup from that scumbag, and watch the explosion. Luckily, you got out."

"Yeah, ol' rust-bucket couldn't handle me dumping him for him being an ass. So he destroyed my realm. Where am I supposed to stay now, dipstick?" she all but screamed at him.

Danny thought about this. Well, she could stay with me... or I'll check if she has someone to put her up for awhile.

"Don't you have friends, Ember? What about Kitty and Johnny? Or someone else?" he questioned.

"No, dipstick, I couldn't burden Kitty like that, and they don't have any space anyways. And there is no one else. Being a punk princess doesn't leave much time to build reliable friendships, even if you're an undying ghost," she glumly shot back.

Guess it's now or never.

"You could stay... with me," he hesitantly mumbled.

"What?! Stay with you, dipstick? In the human world?! No way, Baby-pop."

"It'd just be until you could get a realm built back up. We could have a temporary truce, and this way I know you aren't running loose causing trouble in the Ghost Zone or human world," Danny pressured.

"There's no way, Phantom. It'd be impossible."

"No it wouldn't. You can stay, Ember. Get back on your feet. Hey, maybe we might even become friends!"

"I don't know, dipstick... How would this work? I can't exactly just stay at your house, with your family. And we'd never be friends if my afterlife depended on it, Phantom."

"Sure we won't, Ember," he stated sarcastically. "So you'll stay? With me? I promise I'll figure out how this will work, ASAP," he continued.

"Sure, Baby-pop, sure. I'll stay."

And thus the new story starts! Danny x Ember fic, and ima actually try this time. As you can see, a longer chapter than usually in my stories. And I will try regular updating. I have this all mapped out, I promise!
