Remember Me chapter 2

Luc, flew through Amity Park, seeing how all of it had changed since he had been in the ground.

All the buildings looked modern and futuristic, like something a nerd would be reading out of a comic book, right before Luc would've snatched out of their hands. From this height, the people looked like ants, scurrying about from building to building, job to job and house to house.

Landing on the sidewalk, and upon closer examination the people were staring intently at some sort of device in their hands. Walking to some sort of cloth shop. Luc went inside and the bell chimed.

"Can I help you?" a lady asked from the desk. Instead of answering Luc wandered around the store a bit looking at the new styles of clothing and feeling the material the lady coughed trying to get Luc's attention.

Luc turned his full attention to her, "where's your rock shirts at?"

"You're in luck young man, we had just gotten an original Death lords T-shirt in." the lady said.

The lady held up the shirt in question. It was black, with a scythe being gripped by a grim reaper. Luc put it on and looked at himself in the mirror, the black shirt contrasted with his white skin, his eyes were no longer crimson, his eyes had turned a lighter shade.

"That'll be a hundred dollars plus tax." The lady said.

Luc ignored her and attempted to walk out of the store, with his stolen merchandise.

"Harry!" the woman yelled.

A six foot two-hundred-pound man with a grey shirt and black khakis, walked out from the back room.

"Where do you think your going pal?" Harry asked as he grabbed Luc's shoulder.

Luc smirked. "outside, lame brain."

Harry smiled back, ignoring the jab. "not without paying, you're not."

Luc snapped his fingers with his free hand and the pop music that had been playing, switched to a rock song. It was Rock you like a hurricane by the scorpions.

Luc didn't notice it at the time, but his eyes went crimson, and with both hands Luc picked up Harrys hand and bent it back till it made a pop sound. Harry doubled over with pain and Luc took the opportunity to sucker punch Harry in the face, sending him to the floor.

With the last here I am from the radio, Luc phased out the store and flew off.

…..

What felt like forever Danny and Ember finally made it to someone who could tend to Ember's injuries: Desiree.

Desiree had created an enormous palace straight out of the sixteenth century, if Danny had to compare it to the Taj mahal, he'd say Desiree's palace was bigger.

Danny knocked on the massive wooden door and it swung open a second later, floating through the door the duo, made their way down the long and elegant hallway, pinks and golds covered the interior.

"hello, again child." A sultry voice called out. "Phantom." The same voice acknowledges.

"Desiree, we need help." Danny called out.

Do you?" Desiree asked, "because I seem to recall I already helped you earlier."

"were not leaving until you help us." Ember said her voice defiant.

"fine, come on then."

The duo, floated towards the interior of the palace, after going down yet another infinite hallway, they come across the wishing ghost.

"What do you want?" Desiree snapped.

"Can you help her?" Danny asked as Ember made her way over to Desiree.

"Let me guess, your wish did this to you?" Desiree said as she examined Ember's wounds.

Danny turned to Ember, shock in his voice. "You wished for that ghost?

Ember shrugged, not answering Danny's question.

"Why would wish for that asshole?" Danny asked.

"You don't get it!" Ember snapped.

"Hold your arm still child, if I you don't theirs a chance, I could do more damage." Desiree commanded.

Ember did as she was instructed, and Desiree hovered her hands over Ember's wounded arm. Desiress's hands glowed briefly as purple tendrils wrapped around Ember's arm and encased it in a protective shell

Danny crossed his arms and said quietly." No, you're right, I don't get it so explain it to me."

"You don't know what its like to only remember how you died, and even that's fuzzy. How I don't remember my family or my friends or anything about who I was. Just one day I woke up in this ugly place with a guitar and some powers." Ember said.

Ember took a breath and continued. "All those times I tried to rule the world; it was just really about me being remembered by somebody."

"I get it far more then you could ever know." Danny said, his voice soft. "You may not remember anything about your parents, but at least you weren't the cause of their deaths."

Ember shook her head in disbelief, "what are you talking about dipstick?"

" last year, when my school was preparing for the C.A.T. test, I freaked out about my future, my bad grades, so with a chance encounter with a ghost, I phased right through my teachers briefcase and came out the other side with the test answers, for two days, I argued with my self whether or not I should use them. Ultimately I did."

Ember looked at Danny's face and she could see traces of shame and guilt.

Danny counited with his story, " but little did I know through that course of action would send me ten years in the future, you wouldn't believe what Amity Park looked like, it had flying cars and there was so much chrome everywhere, it looked so peaceful on the inside of the bubble, outside of it, it looked like an apocalypse happened. There was no life beyond that ghost shield. No animals and no humans, just death."

"wow." Ember said.

Danny nodded. "Amity Park was trying to keep something out, or rather I should say someone. Me, in the future I was evil and strong and full ghost. And when I got there my evil self-had broken through the shield and started terrorizing the town. I gave it my all and he was holding back, but he overwhelmed me and threw me in the Ghost Zone or what was left of it."

"Did you see me?" Ember asked interrupting.

Danny nodded," but somethings are better left unsaid."

"what happened child?" Desiree asked.

"with the help of Clockwork, I saved my friends and family and got a second chance with my future." Danny said.

Desiree eyebrows furrowed, "I remember why I know that name, Clockwork he's a primordial extremely reclusive and extremely powerful, he was the only way, our ancestors were able to defeat Pariah Dark or The Ghost King."

Ember looked at Desiree in shock, "you're that old?"

Desiree scoffed, "I'm old child, but not that old. I knew a soldier who fought King Dark's armies, who personally managed to lock King Dark in his tomb."

"I thought you were a man-hater?" Ember asked.

Desiree shrugged, "sometimes I enjoy the company of a man if I allow it."

Like glass, the shell broke off her arm and like that was as good as new. Ember flexed her arm and hand and called for blue flames. Ember smirked and looked at Danny, "let's go get Luc."

"Child, before you arrived, I had a vision of what price you would have to pay for bringing back Luc." Desiree said.

Ember's lip quivered in fear, "what is it?"

"If Luc doesn't go back in the ground before the week's up, you take his place and child believe me when I say, you do not want to go there."

Danny grabbed Ember's hand, "we don't have time to waste, let's go."

The duo flew through the zone looking for a portal back to the human world.
