Author's Note: Sorry for the lateness of this chapter, but I had a lot of writing to do in my classes last term, and I didn't feel like writing much due to it. Anyway I hope for like this chapter, and I hope I can get the next chapter up soon.

Chapter 6: Wanted Dead or Alive

Jazz laid awake on her bed restlessly letting time slowly disappear into nothingness. She was thinking about her missing brother, and what happened to him. At first she kept a positive attitude about it, and even now she would put on a fake smile acting as if she knew Danny was safe. However, the truth was she lost hope of her dear brother ever returning. They looked everywhere, even in the Ghost Zone, and they still could not find him; it was like he never existed in this time, like he was only a memory of the past. Jazz did not know why she felt so depressed about her dear brother's disappearance her thoughts on these issues forced needed sleep away from her troubled mind.

Her thoughts swayed from concerning issues of her brother to why she felt so sad about the whole affair, Ya, Danny and me are close, but I've never felt this sad about anything before. I mean what if Danny is really gone forever, would he become a full ghost, or would he become something else. What if I never see my brother again, and what if he is really gone forever. He's never felt true love before, I know he may thinks he loves Sam, but in truth he doesn't, Sam is just not the right girl for him, and I know it. Jazz reached for the piece of paper that once held a place in Ember's diary. I just hope Danny doesn't turn out like Ember; feeling alone in this world without anyone that he truly loves. But what am I saying at least Danny has his family, and a few close friends, Ember didn't even have that. It sounds as if her life was horrible, and it turned her into this heartless person in her afterlife.

With that last thought in her mind Jazz got out of bed, and headed outside to where the fight between Danny and Ember was suppose to take place. The dark night glowed down on the gloomy version of Jazz as she slowly stumbled to the park with the weight of all the shadows of the world trying to hold her back, but she forced back and stumbled through all the hardships. When she made it to the park the sky grew darker around her, and as she gazed at shadows that invested the park desperately looking for some source of light a bright vortex of light came right in front of her. The light blinded her, but as the light faded into the darkness two figures could be seen, but it was hard to make out their features until the light faded completely. When the light was gone the appearances of Danny and Ember stood before Jazz with Danny's hand on Ember's shoulder yelling something that could not be heard.

"Danny is that you?" Jazz said with small traces of hope in her voice as her eyes recovered from the blinding light.

"Jazz, what are you doing?" Danny said as he and Ember got closer to Jazz making themselves visible to her.

"Danny I don't believe it, it real is you," Jazz said as she gave Danny a hug. "We have been worried about you for the last few days. We looked everywhere, but couldn't find you."

"You should have looked here in Amity Park, about four years in the past," Ember said like it was easy to find them, as she turned away still feeling angry about her past, but also feeling a little uneasy having Danny touch her which she thought to be a very strange feeling.

Jazz suddenly turned to Ember as for the first time realizing she was there, "Ember?! What are you doing here, with Danny?" she questioned being very confused with the whole thing. "And what do you mean 'four years in the past'?"

"It's a long story Jazz, but first I have to talk to Ember about a few things," Danny said facing Ember's back because she still could not bear to look at him for some reason.

"Like what dipstick, about how we shouldn't of came back to the present. About how I shouldn't of took off the time belt," Ember said trying to blow off some steam, but at the same time, deep down inside her, hoping that Danny would bring up her reason behind her removal of her belt, and talk to her about. Ember has never had anyone really to talk to since she was taken from her mother, and that was before she really had anything to talk about, but she was not going to get her hopes up with anyone because she felt it would just hurt her more, and so any feeling of hope lies deep within her.

"Well that wasn't exactly the smartest choice considering there's an all powerful evil ghost that even Clockwork can't stop, who is after us," Danny said angrily, but then he said calmly, "But that isn't what I wanted to talk about. I wanted know if you're okay, you were really upset back there."

"What, you think I was upset dipstick," Ember said as see turned around to face Danny. "Well I wasn't I was just sick of the past okay, and it was nothing more."

"You wanted to kill your foster father, and you're telling me you were not at least a little bit angry," Danny said angrily as he glared down Ember.

"I was not angry!" Ember said as blue fire flared up from her head.

Danny and Ember stood face to face glaring into each other's eyes enraged with one another looking as if they were about to clash, but Jazz got between them before they got the chance. "Listen I have no idea what you two are talking about, but it sounds as if we all are on the same side, and we shouldn't be fighting. Why don't you two just tell me what's going on, or at the very least we could head back to our house Danny everyone is worried about you," Jazz said.

"Look Jazz, I'm sorry but we can't go home, at least not yet, it's like I said the most powerful evilest ghost is after us, and the first place he'll look is my home."

"Now that is where you are wrong Danny Phantom," the evil one said in his monstrous form coming out of the shadows with Undergrowth, Vortex, and Fright Night. "I always know where you are, and even you Ember McLain, and look who else decided to join us, Jazz Fenton, Danny's older sister. It looks as if today is my lucky day, I get to kill three bothersome little pest with one stone."

"Listen to me you two we need to get out of here. The guy must be the evil one Clockwork warned us not to fight," the ghost boy said quietly to Ember and Jazz.

"But what are we going to do when he knows where we are all the time?" Jazz said not really knowing who this evil one is.

"Ya, maybe he knows where we are, but perhaps when might be a different story. I still have the time belt if I can somehow finger out how to work it, but you two need to hold on to me so when it does work you two will travel with me," Danny says quietly as he tries to unlock the controls to make the time belt work, while Ember and Jazz hold on to the ghost boy's arms.

"Enough of your useless talking, it is time for you three to meet your demise," the evil one said as he fired a huge blast of ghost energy at them.

"Come on dipstick, just get it to work," the blue haired ghost girl said.

"Hurry up Danny," Jazz said.

"Come on you stupid piece of shit work all ready," Danny said as he fiddled with the time belt, and finally as the blast was about to hit them Danny got the belt to work, and they vanished in a time vortex.

The blast made an explosion with a lot of dust and smoke, and as the smoke cleared nothing but a hole of blacked ash remained where Danny, Ember, and Jazz were moments ago.

"Where did they go sir, did your blast destroy every bit of them," the Fright Night said as he glared on at the remains of the explosion, and then to his master.

"No they are still alive," the evil one said with a smile on his face.

"So then where are they?" Vortex said very confused.

"The question isn't where are they; the question is when are they. Listen to me I will find Clockwork and finish him off myself, and you three track down the ghost boy, the rocker ghost, and the human girl using this," the evil one said as he took out three time belt of a different more evil form and a weird looking thing that was for tracking. "Use the belts to travel to the time they currently reside in, and use this to track them; it will tell you where and when they are, but it may be off a bit."

The Fright Night took the tracker as he, Undergrowth, and Vortex put on the time belts, and used the belt to travel to the time Danny, Ember, and Jazz went to. The evil one went on to find Clockwork in the only place he would go, to The Boundary of Time.

In the Future

Danny, Ember, and Jazz just landed in a future looking version of Los Vegas. The city was huge with streets in the sky, buildings that were taller than was possible in their present, and lights everywhere. Time affected this city greatly not only due to the looks, but also the people, or ghost, in the city. Ghost moved along freely with humans doing the stuff humans would do, it was a strange sight for Danny, Ember, and Jazz.

"So where or when are we?" Jazz said looking around the city.

"I think this is Los Vegas in the future, but what I'm wondering about is why are there both ghosts and humans living here together," Danny said pointing out a few ghosts walking side by side with humans.

"I don't know, but I think we should get out of here, it doesn't look safe."

"I do not believe it! It's her," Ember said glaring at a strip club as she flew off in that direction.

"Ember wait," Danny said as he flew off after her.

"Danny hold on..." Jazz said looking at the strip club Danny and Ember just entered.

Jazz took a look around and noticed a few wanted posters; the first one was of her brother Danny, but the picture was an older version of him. He was wanted for opposing the ruler of the world and the Ghost Zone, and he was considered to be a dangerous enemy, who was worth $80,000,000 dead or alive. The next wanted poster was of Ember, but again the picture was an older version of her, who was wanted for the same crimes as Danny. She was worth $78,000,000 dead or alive less than Danny because he is stronger than her; Jazz took a guess why she was worth less than Danny. The next poster was of Clockwork who was worth far more than even Danny and Ember combined, his total worth was $500,000,000. He was wanted for the same stuff as Danny and Ember, but also a few other crimes dealing with something about time, or the boundary of it, or something, it was faded so Jazz could not really make it out. Jazz grabbed these wanted posters, and then grabbed the others without taking much look at any of them until she got to the last one which was a picture of an older version of herself. She could not believe that she was wanted for the same crimes that Danny and Ember were wanted for. She looked at the old picture of herself shocked, and then she looked at her worth and it was for $20,000,000 why she was worth this much she did not know.

But she then quickly put her wanted poster at the bottom of the pile, and looked around for some means to hide herself before going off to find Danny and Ember. She spotted someone wearing a black hooded coat, and she pulled out the ghost gun that she kept with her and pointed it at the guy saying, "Now I don't want to hurt you, but just give me your coat."

The hooded man who was sitting down against a wall of some building looked up at Jazz glaring right into her eyes with his yellow blood hungry eyes saying, "Well look who thinks she is all big and bad just because she has a bounty on her head."

The hooded man got up quickly revealing himself to be a ghost, but before he could do any more Jazz shot the man knocking him out. Jazz was shocked, but then remembered that Danny may be in trouble, so she took off the black hooded coat, put it on, and headed to the strip club that Danny and Ember were at.

At the Strip Club

Ember rushed into the strip club took a quick look around and found the striper she was looking for, and headed right for her.

Ember grabbed the striper and said, "Hello big sis, did you miss me."

"What, wait, Ember?" the striper said.

"Who else did you think it was," Ember said as she threw her former foster sister into a table.

Everyone in the strip club stopped, and looked at Ember which most of them, at least the ones that were not too drunk, knew that she was the wanted rocked ghost girl, Ember McLain. Ember did not take notice of this; she was too focused on her foster sister ready to kill her with a blast. Danny walked in on this scene, and stopped Ember before she was able to fire her blast by holding her wrist so that the blast hit the ceiling.

"What are you doing dipstick?" Ember said as she struggled to get free from Danny.

"Well you were going to kill her," Danny said struggling to keep Ember at bay.

As Danny and Ember struggled with one another a ghost from the crowd gets up and heads to them. He reveals himself to be Skulktech as the Technus part says, "Well look who it is Danny and Ember," and then Skulker said, "Two of the most wanted people on Earth or in the Ghost Zone."

Skulktech took a shoot right where Danny and Ember were fighting, but they dodged the blast, and both of them fired back at Skulktech which caused him to crash into the wall. At this time the owner of the strip club called the cops, and the people in the strip club were either watching the fight cheering for Skulktech, or ready to enter the fight themselves. As Skulktech got up, the other fighters circle Danny and Ember who were back to back.

"So what do you think this is all about dipstick," Ember said ready and really wanting to fight.

"I think we must be wanted in this time just like Skulktech said," Danny said. "But for what I don't know."

"So do you think this is the time to try our move, or should we just waste some time beating the shit out of these guys."

"I think we should beat the shit out of these guys, it'll be more fun that way, and besides it will allow us to blow off some steam," Danny said as he shoot the first guy that attacked them.

"I was hoping you would say that," Ember said as she got out her guitar and joined the fight.

The strip club became this huge braw with Danny and Ember fighting a ton of ghost and some humans in which Skulktech lead. Jazz came in the strip club, and saw this fight taking place, but before she could do anything about it a ghost spotted her, and attacked her not really knowing who she was, the ghost just wanted to fight. Jazz points two of her ghost guns and fired rapidly as the ghost was in the air which caused the ghost to go crashing to the ground.

Jazz took off her hood and yelled, "Danny, Danny, where are you?"

"Jazz," Danny said as he knocked out one of the ghost attacking him, and flew over to Jazz. "What is it Jazz?"

"We have to get out of here; you, me and Ember are wanted for millions of dollars."

"Ya, so what, I think we can take them," Danny said as hundreds of police showed up some humans with powerful weapons from the future, and some powerful ghost some of the ghost also had weapons. "Or I may be wrong about that."

"Hey dipstick what should we do now, there is no way we can take them all," Ember said flying next to where Danny and Jazz were as she fired as many blast as she could.

"We need to find a way out of here, but this place is surrounded from all sides, even above us," Jazz said looking around for a way out as she blasted as many people as she could.

"Everyone stop, this is the law enforcement now we have reason to believe that Danny Fenton/Phantom and Ember McLain are here, and we will give you one chance to surrender. If you fail to surrender we will blow up this place and the surrounding area, so come out with your hands where we can see them," One on the police men said, and as he said the part about blowing up the building everyone, but the police, cleared the area. Danny, Ember, and Jazz now stood there surrounded by the police with no way out, but one.

"Dipstick I thinks it's time we show these guys the new move we been working on," Ember said ready to play her guitar.

"Fine, but I hope this works because if it doesn't we're all done for," Danny said as he used his ghostly wail and then Ember played her guitar.

The two blasts did not quite go together as well as either of them hoped, but it was enough to give them to breach a line in there forces for them to escape from. Ember and Danny, who was carrying Jazz, flew out of there as fast as they could. They were able to get away without anyone knowing where they went. Danny and Ember picked up some hooded cloaks like Jazz's just in case someone could see them when they turn invisible. The three of them were able to sneak into a room at one of the hotels without anyone picking up on who they were.

"So why is the police after us, and why did Skulktech say we are wanted?" Danny said looking out the window of the room to make sure no one was following them.

"This is why," Jazz said as she took out the wanted posters she took from before. "All three of us are wanted for the same crime, 'opposing the ruler of the world and the Ghost Zone.'"

"Wait the ruler, but Earth doesn't have a ruler, and I thought the Ghost Zone didn't have a ruler."

"Well it looks like someone rules over both of them now."

"Ya and it seems that the three of us are major enemies of his," Ember said.

"Ember you don't think that this ruler is the evil one," Danny said.

"It looks like it dipstick, and it would appear that we have to stop him."

"But you heard what Clockwork said, we can't stop until he learns how to."

"He can travel through time, I'm sure he is ready by now."

"Maybe, but we're not ready, not until we learn how to connect our blasts together."

"Ya I guess your right, but we should get some rest first, and then we'll work on it."

Danny, Ember, and Jazz decided to spend the night at the hotel each taking turns taking watch in case anyone was looking for them. Jazz took the first watch since she said she won't be able to get much sleep anyway. As Jazz watched the night sky out the window sleep took over Danny and Ember as they lay down in their beds.
