Hey!

So, because the results of my poll say that the Secret Trio idea won over the DC's Legends Of Tomorrow/Danny Phantom crossover idea, here is the first chapter of the Secret Trio story! It's kinda like a prologue, to kick the story into gear, but I hope you don't mind! No, I don not own Danny Phantom, American Dragon: Jake Long, the mentions of Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja or Life And Times Of Juniper Lee. They, respectively, belong to Butch Hartman, Disney and Cartoon Network. Enjoy the chapter; please read and review! GhostWriterGirl out!

Chapter 1

Prologue

Within the endless realms of the Ghost Zone, a citadel appears surrounded by clocks, cogs and gears. It looked like a clock tower, and inside there were gears, clocks and strange screens showing different images; one image was of a boy with spiky black, ice blue eyes and wearing a white and black jumpsuit with a black emblem of a D with speeding edges and a P inside being electrocuted by green electricity in some sort of portal as his hair turned white, his eyes became glowing radioactive green and his suit inverted colours as the emblem became black; another showed of a boy with spiky black hair that had green highlights change into a massive red dragon; another showed a purple-haired boy in a hoodie picking up a book with a strange red marking on it; another showed a strange pod-like contraption opening to reveal a twelve-year-old girl with black hair tied in a ponytail and spiky bangs and icy blue eyes, before a white ring of light came and her hair turned snow-white, her eyes became glowing radioactive green and she wore a black and white jumpsuit with the same emblem as the first boy's, whom she extremely looked like; another showed a girl that had her black hair in pigtails change into a purple dragon with a dark pink underbelly and the inside of her wings were dark pink; and a final screen showed a young girl gain a white streak in her hair, before she fought off a monster. Various screens showed these six different people fighting; including ones where the first boy and the girl that looked like him fight together, before he saved her from melting into a pile of green goop; the boy with green highlights and the girl with black pigtails, who were obviously siblings, fighting alongside each other; the purple-haired boy fighting monsters in some sort of black and red ninja outfit; and the last girl, the white streak in her hair now dyed magenta, fighting what appeared to be a witch in a mall. But some of the screen showed the first boy, the boy who could change into a dragon, and the boy with the ninja suit meeting and fighting monsters and powerful foes together, with one screen showing them preparing to head to college with their respective friends. Overseeing all this was a ghost.

He had blue skin, red pupil-less eyes and was wearing a purple cloak and tunic, black gloves, multiple watches on his wrists, a clock inside his chest and in his hands was a staff with a clock on top. This was Clockwork, and he was the ghost Master of Time.

Clockwork smiled as he watched the three boys from the last screen preparing to go to college, knowing that the future for one of them was very bright indeed, after what had happened to him. The Master Of Time prepared to leave-until he gasped.

"No," he whispered, as he let the vision that had met him be played out…

….

Clockwork's Vision

A bleak, barren landscape stretched out, nothing living in it. Brown clouds hung in a black sky, adding to the desolate nature of this place. A caw could be heard, and moans of pain sounded over the landscape. But, the ground cracked, until it suddenly broke apart.

Brown rock rained down and a furious roar could be heard.

"ROARRR!"

A red-gloved hand stretched out, before clutching the ground, before a figure hauled himself out of the ground, something that could have come out of nightmares even the most hardened ghosts could never dream of.

The creature had chalk pale skin and red flaming hair and red glowing eyes. Black horns curved out it's flaming locks, looking razor-sharp. It wore a black suit, with red gloves, a belt, boots, cape and grey spiked armour, and a red scabbard hung by his side, the hilt of the sword sheathed inside showing what appeared to be a carved eyeball… until it moved. A scaly black tail that turned red at the end whipped about, and huge black bat wings unfurled themselves from the creature's back. The creature roared again, baring fangs that would've made even sabertooth cats cower in fear from.

"FREE! FREE AT LAST FROM THAT PRISON! AND WHEN I AM FREE OF THIS WASTELAND, I WILL RETURN TO THE HUMAN WORLD, COMPLETE WHAT I STARTED, AND THEN, I WILL CONQUER THE HUMAN WORLD, THE GHOST ZONE AND THE MAGICAL REALMS! HA HA HA!" The creature roared, laughing evilly at the end as dark red mist swirled and covered the creature from view as the vision started to end…

…

End of Clockwork's vision

Clockwork gasped as the vision ended, leaving him with an emotion that he didn't experience often… fear.

He's back? But he couldn't escape! It's not possible! Clockwork thought. But still, he had to be sure.

"Show me his prison," Clockwork ordered. One of the screens clouded with the same red mist, before revealing that barren landscape-and the place where the creature had climbed out of.

It was intact, but even as Clockwork watched, cracks started to appear, and the Ghost of Time knew that he wouldn't have long before his vision came true. He would have to consult the forces that helped him lock him in there in the first place.

But it won't be enough, Clockwork thought. For millennia he has been trapped, and he is now escaping. To defeat him again, we need more. But who could possibly stop a creature like him?

Clockwork thought about, before an idea struck him. He looked back at the screens, but he looked most noticeably at one screen; a screen that had the silhouettes of the twelve-year-old girl, the girl with black pigtails, and the girl with the white streak that she had dyed magenta on it.

Clockwork looked at once, before briefly looking at the screen that showed the three boys preparing for college, then back at the silhouettes of the three girls, and back again.

"I know they could possibly defeat this threat, but he's too strong, even stronger than their strongest, most powerful and most dangerous enemies combined. To defeat him, I'll need…"

Clockwork glanced at the screen, which now showed the three girls and not just their silhouettes, the girl with pigtails changing into a dragon and the girl with icy blue eyes changing into what could now be surely a ghostly form, before the two girls changed back into their human forms and their transformations began again.

Clockwork looked at them, knowing that they are the ones needed to defeat him; no one else. But maybe, they'll become friends during this, and like the three boys before them, they'll become a…

"I'll need a new Secret Trio."

I hope you liked this!

Ooo, wasn't Clockwork's vision ominous! Who was that creature in his vision? What does he mean about completing what he started? What was that place in Clockwork's vision? What does Clockwork mean about needing these three totally different girls to become a new Secret Trio to stop this creature? And, why are these three girls needed to become a new Secret Trio to stop this creature? You'll know your answers soon!

Did any of you guys recognised some of those scenes from Clockwork's time screens and what he meant about one of these guys' future be very bright indeed?
