This is a fan fiction that thought about the Disney Infinity game and I had to think on how the heroes would come together if an evil force of my own creation is on the verge of destroying their world. I also decided to add characters from ParaNorman and Rise of the Guardians to make the plot a lot more interesting. Also in this chapter there is a little reference to The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices.
I don't own any of the Disney, DreamWorks or other franchise characters, but I do own the Allies and the Titans.
Infinity Allies
Chapter 1:- The Shadow Network
A shadow scuttled down the floor. Its brilliant blue eyes adding a bit of colour to the ghostly shadow figure as it slipped unnoticed down the damp dark corridor of the abandoned castle. Keeping low to the ground the shadow kept to the shadows that were made by the monstrous guards as they patrolled the corridors that wound around the castle dungeons. However the shadow was not after anyone or anything in the dungeons; it was interested in the Pit far below the castle. The Pit that had once fed water to the moat was now being used by the castles new occupants as a Meeting Room.
The further the shadow got into the depths of the castle the more darker and damper it got. When the shadow had first entered the castle, the Titans had lit the castle with bright Aurora gems that were found on their home world. The Aurora gems were one of the brightest gems along with Witchlight that the Shadowhunters used, and Aurora gems were also big. The gems varied in the size, from around the size of a football to that of a golf ball. Where the gems varied in size they also varied in brightness, the massive gems were the ones that would light a room like an electric light used in many homes around the world; while the smaller ones burnt brighter as if their long lives depended on it. The Aurora gems sent a blue glow up the dull walls and that send strange shadows to dance up the slimy walls. But by the dungeons and the Pit there was hardly no Aurora gems lighting the slippery path. Without the aid of the Aurora gems the shadow figure didn't notice the massive rats that scampered across the floor.
The rats with their brilliant keen senses knew there was a predator out there, but they didn't know where it was. The fur on the rats back picked up as an unseen spirit slithered past them. On instinct the rodents scampered for the thicker shadows, by the walls. The rats screeched at cried when they realised that there was more of the spirit serpents slithering in the shadows.
The Shadow Men! The eyes and ears of The Night Fury, Nightshade Deathwalker. The Shadow Men could get into places that no other Ally could get to and remain hidden for months on end. The Shadows, or Viles as they are known in Lysia, are the only ghosts that appear as shadows and get to keep their human form, or they can make a new form. The Viles could also poses a person like a ghost, or they could make a copy of a victim and live out their life to get the information that Deathwalker needed in order to defend the earth in the secret war the Allies were raging against the Titans. The Shadow Men were not just spies for the Allies; they were an excellent fighting force, and a great ally of Earth. And like any other army, the Shadow Network needed a strong commander and that came in the form of Julian Wolffang. Julian was not just known for being a Shadow Man, he was known throughout the ranks of the Allies and Titans as being nicknamed The Shadow Wolf.
The shadows may not have had any solid form when they were in their ghostly shadow form, but they did have a way to be noticed! Fierce blue eyes that came in different shades, but they all had the same cold but yet protective glare within the blue flames of shadow. These blue eyes could also be unnoticed if the Viles required it.
The shouting of a parliament was getting louder and louder the deeper the Network got closer to the lion's den. Julian split behind a pillar as a pair of guards stomped past. They may have looked like two ugly bald men, but they were hardly that at all. The guards laughed at the thought of their mighty masters needing help from others to help them to get rid of The Night Fury. Julian's brilliant blue eyes locked onto the guards. His ears picked every word that the guards said about Nightshade Deathwalker. His snow white hair was well trimmed around his delicate face, given him a look that related to his Wolf. His hollow cheek bones were filled with shadow as if he were just bones and skin. Like the guards, Julian Wolffang wore military clothing that showed the fraction that he was fighting on and also his rank. The Titans guard's uniforms were modern-stolen from a dead man- but they were dirty, worn out and not looked after. However, Julian's uniform was that from Britain when the country was fighting in the First World War, the only difference that Julian had to his fallen comrades was that he wore a clock with a hood to conceal his features when he was in human form. Julian held his trusted rifle in his pale white hands, ever since he had became the Shadow Wolf Julian kept parts of him from when he was human and alive. Julian could thank Margret for keeping his clothes clean after every mission that he lead, for if it wasn't for her he would be in clothes much worse than the Titans.
Julian Wolffang could feel his anger building. The rest of his Men were about him waiting for the right moment to strike. Their blue eyes were also filled with rage at what the Titans were saying. "Nightshade Deathwalker, bah! She is not alive! Blackbones and The Keeper made sure of that!" spat one of the guards as they walked past the Viles without a sense that they were being watched. Julian thought that the guard who had spoken must have obviously not know that Nightshade had been brought back to life by an ancient relic found by the Network in the ruins of a ancient Scottish castle, and that Blackbones for years had been the Ally spy who had been causing so much problems for the Titans and their Allies. "I am telling you, Deathwalker is back! And she is building an army to go against Malice and Kronos!" squeaked the other. The two guards looked exactly alike! They were both tall and chubby with muscles and fat. There was no hair on their heads or anywhere else on their bodies, if they had been Apes. Their eyes were the same shape and looked like bug eyes, the only difference between the two guards was their eye colour, which varied from blood shot red to white. The first guard that had spoken started to laugh, which made his partner very anxious, "If Deathwalker is truly back I'd slay that bag o' bones myself, and send her deep into the Underworld!"
The two guards stopped in their tracks. "What was that?" asked the guard who had argued that Nightshade was indeed alive. The first guard may have acted tough when there were no Allies around, but that may all soon change. He stammered and stuttered until he managed to squeak, "It must be Nuerouses latest creations or maybe it's Leatherback!" he didn't want to believe that the eyes and ears of the Allies were lurking in the shadows waiting to strike. The second guard looked back at the first guard with those dark-green eyes. "What's the chance that it's a Shadow Man?" it asked looking from its companion to the dark shadows that seemed to creep ever closer to them.
The first guard didn't have the time to reply, for a lone figure had strolled out from the shadows. His snow white hair was bouncing and swinging with every step that he took. The way that the young man strolled towards them told that he was not afraid, and with a balance that nothing living could master, the guards knew right away that the strange man approaching them was a Shadow Man. His brilliant blue eyes were narrowed onto the two guards, with his pale skin just covering his bones. A belt kept his breaches up, and on the belts buckle was the symbol that every Titans feared, the Rising Phoenix. The silvery legendary bird was screeching up into the heavens as its massive wings and body rose up from the roaring flames. Julian smiled revealing pearl white teeth that were slowly growing sharper as Wolffang allowed the Wolf in. It was not just Julian's sharp teeth that caused the two guards blood to run cold through their veins. Joining Julian Wolffang was the many ranks of Shadow Men. Their figures may not have been clearly seen, but their different shades of blue eyes that glowed like fire in the darkness brining hope and yet fear.
The tough guard out of the two wiped out a horrible weapon. The sword may have been neglected with blood that had been allowed to dry, and the blade being allowed to face the elements, but Julian could see that the blade had been blessed with both Silver and Lead, two metals that had been banned in two worlds. Silver could easily bring down a Werelord even with their excellent healing factor. And like Silver to Werecreatures, Lead could bring down any Draigerian, Draigerians like Nightshade Deathwalker, Blackbones and The Keeper. "If this can bring down a Werecreature, I am sure id can bring you down, Shadow Wolf!" spat the guard swinging his rusty sword from side to side right before himself and Julian. The ugly man may have been trying to sound tough in front of his partner and Wolffang, but Julian could tell from his voice that the man was terrified of having to face a whole horde of Shadows!
Julian had to smile at the man's actions. Since becoming the Shadow Wolf in the first day of the Battle of the Somme during the First World War Julian had been sliced and diced by weapons that were either blessed with Silver or Lead. These weapons had burnt his cold flesh and even left blue scars on his true shadowy form, but they healed on their own time like a cut from a knife of a paper cut. The fights that Julian had gotten himself into over the years should have killed him, but then he was not truly alive. He had become a Shadow Man in his last moments on Earth when he first meets with Nightshade Deathwalker. Julian Wolffang wanted to make an Earth a safe place from the growing evil that was lurking in the shadows. Since the Somme and becoming the Shadow Wolf, Julian had met strange but yet marvellous creatures but he had also come across wounds that would not heal. He had faced weapons that the militaries and governments of the world could only dream of using. Being positioned based in the mountains of the Scottish Highlands that was made of Earths finest materials along with a Draigerian technology that was alive, that was known on Draiger as Bone-Metal. He may have come across all that, but never had he came across a blade that had been blessed by both Silver and Lead! Nightshade would really want to hear about that new development!
The Titan guard who had pulled the sword was starting to sweat. His bald head was covered in small water droplets, which then eventually dripped down his face into his eyes and mouth. The massive blade began to tremble in his tight grasp. His yellow nails digging deep into the velvet prommel of the blade. The living humans may have found Julian Wolffang attractive in many ways, but too the Titans lab creations they were their worst nightmares. One was bad for them, but a squad of the vengeful spirits was a living hell. The guard looked around; he only saw the brilliant blue eyes of the shadows glaring back at him! He looked back at Julian, who had folded his arms close to his chest waiting for the Titans to make a move.
"Parlay!" that one word caused Julian to listen and for his men to stand-down, for now. The guard's partner looked at him as if he had sprouted a pair of wings. "Speak your terms!" said Julian, in his strong English accent that hardly existed in modern times. "I will tell you everything you want to know, as long as you let me and my partner live" the guard had remembered his terrified partner who stood right beside him. Julian looked from one guard to the other, his brilliant blue eyes not missing a detail on their actions and movements. The clones were indeed terrified of the Shadow Wolf. "You have my accord!" replied Julian in his strong English accent.
Julian Wolffang struck fast he was not allowing the clones a chance to react. His shadowy form wrapped around the clones like a dark cold snake, constricting with every movement that they made. The other Shadow Men wrapped around their master and their prisoners; and then like a massive wave of shadows stormed out of the castle unseen by everything.
