Hello everyone. LooneyAces here and welcome to the ninth story of the Danny Phantom/Marvel Cinematic Universe Fanfiction crossover series, better known as DPxMCU. This story will mark the second DPxMCU appearance of my half Xandarian-half ghost OCs Daranak and Salzer Xander, better known as Daranak and Salzer Nova, the Nova Twins. You can see them, in their ghost forms, on the story's cover photo, which that will be their new attire in this story, and you can see the cover photo work and more on my deviantart page. Now, before we get started, to anyone that are new to the DPxMCU series or haven't read GHOSTLY GUARDIANS, this may be a crossover between Danny Phantom and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but Danny Phantom and Team Phantom won't appear in this story due to their connection with the Avengers at Earth in the series, as I am keeping the timeline accurate, and because this story is prepping for the future encounter between Team Phantom, especially Danny and Dani Phantom, and Daranak and Salzer Nova in Infinity War. To catch up with the DPxMCU series, you'll need to read these following stories in order before reading this one.

Chapter 1: King Cobra & Giant Sea Monkey.
On the planet Earth in the year 1980 at the US state of Missouri, a young couple was singing happily to the song 'Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)' by Looking Glass. One was a young female human woman who had blonde hair, hazel eyes and fair skin. The other was man who had messy hair, wearing shades, jeans and a leather jacket. The man looks like a human male, but in truth, he is actually not from Earth, and the woman knows it too. A few minutes later, the man takes the woman to the woods behind a Diary Queen ice cream shop.
"Come on!" the man said.
"Slow down!" the woman said while giggling.
"This way, my river lily! Come on!" the man said.
"Where are you taking me?" the woman said.
"Come on. Come. Look. Look!" the man said.
The man guide the woman before showing her a alien like plant that was glowing.
"Oh, it's beautiful." the woman said in awe.
"I was afraid it wouldn't take to the soil, but it rooted quickly. And soon, it'll be everywhere. All across the universe." the man said, making the woman chuckle.
"Well, I don't know what you're talking about, but I like the way you say it." the woman said.
"My heart is yours, Meredith Quill." the man said.
Meredith then places her arms around the man's shoulders.
"I can't believe I fell in love with a spaceman." Meredith said.
The two then share a kiss as Meredith is unaware that the man is planting the alien plant for a diabolical plan that won't go into affect for the next three decades.
It's now the year 2014, and at a collective of planets called the Sovereign, the renowned superhero group known as the Guardians of the Galaxy are getting ready for a battle in the middle of a hurricane. It's been two months since they've been hailed as heroes for helping defeat Ronan the Accuser and saving the planet Xandar, and now they're being hired by the High Priestess of the Sovereign to defend her home planet's power source from a interdimensional beast, in agreement for a trade.
"Showtime, a-holes! It will be here any minute." Peter said while looking at his Inter-Dimensional tracker, which is actually a modified Mattel Electronic Football game.
Peter Quill, better known as Star-Lord, is the leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Not much of his personality has changed, but he still cares about his friends.
"Which will be its loss." Gamora said.
Gamora, the former assassin and adopted daughter of Thanos, became close to her new friends, especially Peter. During a few months with the Guardians, Gamora's hardened personality has begun to vanish, in which she is becoming an almost mother-figure to Baby Groot, but she still has an aggressive edge. Gamora preps a blaster, which made Peter curious since she would normally use her sword the Godslayer.
"I thought your thing was a sword?" Peter asked.
"We've been hired to stop an interdimensional beast from feeding on those batteries, and I'm gonna stop it with a sword?" Gamora asked.
"It's just, swords were your thing and guns were mine. But I guess we're both doing guns now. I just didn't know that." Peter said.
Gamora then noticed that Drax isn't wearing the aero-rigs, jetpack-like devices invented by Rocket.
"Drax, why aren't you wearing one of Rocket's aero-rigs?" Gamora asked.
"It hurts." Drax replied.
Drax, also known as Drax the Destroyer, has grown fond of his teammates. After the battle with Ronan, Drax attempted to learn more about living as a modern citizen to avoid getting into any more trouble with the law since his records have been expunged. He is now being questioned by Gamora on why he isn't wearing the aero-rigs.
"It hurts?" Gamora asked, not liking Drax's odd response.
"I have sensitive nipples." Drax replied truthfully, making Rocket laugh at his statement.
"Aha! 'My nipples hurt! Oh, goodness me'!" Rocket laughed.
Rocket Raccoon is a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Not much of his personality has changed, but as he got to know his fellow Guardians better, he became much more protective of them. Apparently Peter's taste in music seems to have rubbed off on Rocket as he seems to enjoy listening to songs from Star-Lord's era, hence he is currently setting up speakers, which gain the attention of Drax.
"What about him? What's he doing?" Drax asked.
"I'm finishing this so we can listen to tunes while we work." Rocket replied as he sets up the speakers.
"How is that a priority?" Drax asked.
"Blame Quill. He's the one who loves music so much." Rocket said.
"No, I actually agree with Drax on this. That's hardly important right now." Peter said.
"Okay. Sure, Quill." Rocket said, winking his left eye, which Peter noticed.
"No, seriously, I side with Drax." Peter said seriously.
"No, I understand that. You're being very serious right now." Rocket said, still winking his left eye, which Drax also noticed.
"I can clearly see you winking." Drax said.
"Damn it. I'm using my left eye?" Rocket asked before seeing Baby Groot shoving and punching some Orloni creatures.
"I am Groot." Baby Groot said.
Baby Groot has been regenerating for months since the original Groot sacrifice his life to protect his fellow guardians during the Battle of Xandar. He is now in baby form and has the traits of a baby as well.
"They were not looking at you funny." Rocket said.
"Enough arguing. This beast is about to show up at any second now." Daranak said.
"Yeah, the last thing we need is arguing right before a battle." Salzer said.
Daranak and Salzer Xander, the well known half Xandarian-half ghost hybirds known as Daranak and Salzer Nova, also known as the famous Nova Twins in the galaxy, have also gotten close to their teammates since leaving the Nova Corps to join the Guardians of the Galaxy. Daranak is still a serious and caring individual, but now not only is he protective to his sister, but he is also protective to his teammates. Salzer is still a kind, caring, and thoughtful woman, but she has become very close to her teammates and also became a mother-figure to Baby Groot. Both were now wearing their new Guardians of the Galaxy/anti-ghost attire. The top was red, with a darker red collar, white accents on the sleeves and black gloves. On their chests is the yellow Guardians of the Galaxy symbol. They were also wearing a white belt, black pants and red boots.
Suddenly, a storm occur and the thunderclouds became colorful before a portal appears and a large beast known as the Abilisk fell through the portal, falling towards the group.
"Well, that's intense." Rocket said.
"And gross." Salzer said.
The Abilisk landed as the Guardians prep for battle. Peter, Gamora, Drax, Rocket, Daranak and Salzer then charge to attack the Abilisk while Baby Groot plugs in the speakers and starts to dance to the song 'Mr. Blue Sky' by Electric Light Orchestra.
Sun is shinin' in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin' everybody's in a play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day, hey hey
Runnin' down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly in the city
On the streets where once was pity
Mister blue sky is living here today, hey hey
Peter landed to the ground hard next to Baby Groot. He fired a Quad Blaster before seeing Baby Groot dancing.
"Groot." Peter said before being kicked away by one of the Abilisk's tentacles as Baby Groot continue to dance.
Mister blue sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Mister blue sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
"Groot, get out of the way! You're gonna get hurt!" Gamora said with concern.
Baby Groot however responded with a wave to Gamora.
"Hi." Gamora said before flying off as Baby Groot continues dancing.
Where did we go wrong?
Drax lands behind Baby Groot. Baby Groot once again freezes whenever Drax looks at him. Drax eventually goes back to the fight and Baby Groot dances more.
Hey you with the pretty face
Welcome to the human race
A celebration, mister blue sky's up there waitin'
And today is the day we've waited for
Oh mister blue sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Baby Groot then ate a insect like creature, gaining Rocket's attention.
"No! Spit it out! Come on!" Rocket said, making Baby Groot spit out the insect like creature. "Disgusting!" Rocket said before heading back to the battle before Baby Groot chases a Orloni and eventually rides on it.
Where did we go wrong?
Hey there mister blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Everybody smiles at you
Hey there mister blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Everybody smiles at you
Mister blue sky, mister blue sky
Mister blue sky
Daranak and Salzer landed next to Baby Groot after he fell off the Orloni.
"Groot!" Salzer said as she made herself and Baby Groot intangible before a tentacle can slam into them.
"That was close." Daranak said as Salzer and himself got back to the fight. Baby Groot then resumes dancing near the speakers.
Mister blue, you did it right
But soon comes mister night creepin' over
Now...
The song ends as Drax crashed into the speakers. Baby Groot got upset and start to whip Drax with no effect. The rest of the Guardians flew around the Abilisk, Peter, Gamora, and Rocket fired their weapons and Daranak and Salzer fired ecto-blasts, ecto-disks or any other of their ghost powers at the Abilisk, but their attacks didn't work. Drax looks at the Abilisk thinking what he think should be done.
"The beast hide is too thick to be pierced from the outside. I must cut it through it from the inside." Drax said.
"Huh?" Gamora said, not believing what Drax just said as he sees him laughing and raising his knives. "No, no! Drax, wait a minute! Drax!"
Drax however charged towards the Abilisk and jump into its mouth and gets swallowed.
"What is he doing?" Peter said, couldn't believe what Drax did as he deactivate his helmet.
"Is Drax insane?!" Daranak asked.
"He said the skin is too thick to be pierced from the outside, so he..." Gamora said.
"That doesn't make any sense!" Peter said, cutting Gamora off.
"I tried telling him that!" Gamora said.
"Skin is the same level of thickness from the inside as from the outside!" Peter said.
"I realized that." Gamora said.
"Enough arguing, we gotta kill this thing and get Drax out." Salzer said.
While Drax starts attacking the Abilisk from the inside, Peter noticed a cut on the beast's neck on the outside.
"There's a cut on its neck. Rocket, Daranak, Salzer, get it to look up." Peter said before activating his helmet and flies to attack. "Hey, you giant Sea-Monkey! Up here!" Peter said, shooting at the Abilisk with his Quad Blasters.
Peter, Rocket, Daranak and Salzer attacks the Abilisk while trying to get it to look up and evading its tentacles and its Matter Wave attacks.
"Watch it, Quill!" Rocket shouted.
"Watch out for its Matter Wave attacks!" Daranak said.
As Peter, Rocket, Daranak and Salzer distracts the Abilisk, Gamora gets a good aim on the cut, but when she pull the trigger, the blaster was out of ammo. Gamora then summon the Godslayer before she charged at the Abilisk before she drew her sword and drove it into the beast's injury, cutting the creature open. The Abilisk collapsed, dying soon after from 'blood' loss, ending the battle. Drax then emerge from the beast's body, covered in its blood before laughing as the others look on.
"Yes! I have single-handedly vanquished the beast!" Drax laughed until Baby Groot threw a pebble at him. "What?"
And that's the end of this chapter. The lyrics of the song 'Mr. Blue Sky' is own by Electric Light Orchestra. So, once again, just to clarify what takes place in DPxMCU since it's still the year 2014 in this story since it takes place two months after the first one, this story takes place after the events of DANNY PHANTOM: THE ASGARDIAN DRAUGR (December, 2013), a few months after the events of DANI PHANTOM: THE ROGUED DRAUGR (January, 2014), and a year before the events of GHOSTLY AVENGER: AGE OF ULTRON (May, 2015). Anyway, what do you think so far? please review. :)
