Disclaimers: This is a crossover between Sailor Moon and Danny Phantom. I do not own these two shows. Sailor Moon is written by Naoko Takeuchi in manga form and aired as a series by Toei Animation and TV Asahi in Japan and by Kodansha Comics in North America. Danny Phantom is created by Butch Hartman and aired as an American animated action adventure television series by Nickelodeon in 2004.
- Then -
Danny first grabbed the Ring of Rage and placed it onto his left ring finger. He then placed the Crown of Fire on top of his head in resignation. Once both items were on Danny's person, a powerful wave swept over the ghosts and traveled over the entirety of the Ghost Zone, indicating that SOMEONE was the new Ghost King.
- Now -
"That power," exclaimed Plasmius.
"Power," questioned King Endymion.
"Um," said Plasmius.
"Please, dear Plasmius," said King Endymion with a glare, "What power are you talking about?"
It was in King Endymion IV's domain that the power of the next Ghost King was felt by all of them. King Endymion IV, however, didn't know what kind of power wave went through his domain. So, when he heard Plasmius exclaiming about this power, he knew that Plasmius was hiding something from him. He narrowed his eyes when he saw that Plasmius was about to lie to him. Plasmius, on his part, winced when he saw the glare that King Endymion IV sent to him. Apparently, he can't lie about the power wave that swept over everyone in HIS domain. 'Butter biscuits,' swore Plasmius in his head.
"Well," said an impatient King Endymion, "I'm waiting."
"Yes, well," said Plasmius, "The power that was felt was the crowning of a new ruler for all of the Ghost Zone."
"Hm," contemplated King Endymion, "Are you sure?"
"Of course, I'm sure, you imbecile," said Plasmius.
"What… did you call me," growled King Endymion.
"Uh, I mean, your liege," said Plasmius who was sweating.
"That's what I thought," said King Endymion.
With that, King Endymion IV summoned another ghost-infused Youma. This Youma looked like a black-purple flame with a red face. It awkwardly bowed in front of King Endymion IV due to not having a physical body before straightening itself to see its ruler. Plasmius looked intrigued on what kind of Youma this is because there was no definite gender with this particular Youma. King Endymion IV smiled cruelly before addressing said Youma. "Soul Shadow," said King Endymion, "I would like you to do a little recon."
"Recon," questioned the now dubbed Soul Shadow.
"Hai," said King Endymion, "I need you to stay in the shadows of the Ghost Zone and proceed to gather on WHO this so-called ruler of the Ghost Zone is. You know as well as I do that the real ruler is Metalia-sama."
'Metalia-sama,' thought Plasmius, 'Who or what is that?'
"Hai, Endymion-ōsama," bowed Soul Shadow awkwardly.
After the bow, Plasmius saw Soul Shadow dip down onto the floor and into the shadows, traveling to who knows where. He, however, was not prepared for two Youma to grab his arms forcefully. Plasmius struggled within the grasps of the two Youma as he looked at King Endymion IV. King Endymion IV, however, was smirking evilly. He had plans for Plasmius as the two Youma started to drag Plasmius away. Plasmius continued to struggle as he yelled out, "What is the meaning of this?!"
"Dear, idiotic Plasmius," said King Endymion, "You really think you could get away from hiding secrets from me?"
"I never hid anything from you," said Plasmius.
"Oh," questioned King Endymion, "How about not telling us that there MAY have been another way to rule this pitiful green dimension? Or glares how about everything else you have done to Prince Aeolian?"
"You hate your son as well," growled out Plasmius.
"Yet, you have all these delicious secrets that you weren't willing to share," said King Endymion.
It didn't take long for Plasmius to be dragged away while another Youma was ready to dive into Plasmius' head for any secrets he was keeping from their ruler. King Endymion IV, on his part, ignored Plasmius' struggles as he turned to his hidden door. He then proceeded to go through the double doors and closed it behind him. There, in front of him, were two pods that were radiating blackish-purple waves. Inside the pods were his son Prince Endymion V's reincarnation and his niece Princess Ashara's reincarnation. "Soon," said King Endymion, "Soon, I can let you both out, and we will enact our vengeance on Aeolian."
- With Danny, Serena, and the Good Guys –
"Can we NOW plan," asked an impatient Rei.
"That's what we are doing," Hotaru sniped back.
After the coronation, Danny reintroduced himself as Prince Aeolian to the ghosts present. The ghosts looked at each other in shock because all ghosts remembered the stories, the myths, of the Silver Millennium. They all turned back once Danny got their attention about a serious situation that was happening in the ghost zone. Apparently, said situation was about his past father, King Endymion IV, trying to destroy and rule BOTH worlds. Danny also told them that his reincarnated cousin and reincarnated half-brother were in danger and need of rescuing. That led to several ghosts to give their help to Danny quickly. Now, everyone was situated in a round table. Danny was sitting in the head with Serena sitting next to him. Hotaru was sitting next to Serena, Kwan sitting on her other side. Tucker was sitting next to Danny with Jazz sitting on his other side. Within that table also sat Pandora, Princess Dorathea, Frostbite, the Fright Knight, Clockwork, and surprisingly, some other ghosts that are still labeled as Danny's enemies. "Also, do NOT talk like that to the king," said Fright Knight menacingly.
"It's fine, Fright Knight," said Danny, "She's like this all the time."
"Even so," said Frostbite, "She IS in a new dimension that has its own ruler. Does this mean that if she traveled to a different planet and didn't have any respectful decorum, you all have been fighting a lot of wars?"
"What is THAT supposed to mean," barked back Rei with an angry face.
"Well, Hino-san," said Setsuna with a patient face, "Look at it in a different angle. Pretend we were missioned by Queen Serenity IV in the Silver Millennium to travel to a different planet for an alliance. Once arrived, you did not show respect to the rule of said planet while being rude and angry, just like now. What is the most likely thing would happen? The ruler of the planet listening to your beck and call? Setsuna narrows her eyes. Or the ruler of the planet declaring war for the shown disrespect of one girl?"
Rei felt totally chastised as she crossed her arms over her chest. She knew that she shouldn't be angry and taking it out on here, but she was also worried for her friend/crush. Yes, she still had a crush on Mamoru, the reincarnated Prince Endymion V, but she couldn't tell the others that. The Inners, however, knew what Rei was feeling for Mamoru. Of course, they were all friend with him, but the Inners knew that Rei still never gave up on her crush on Mamoru. The Outers, on the other hand, weren't as close to the Inners to know what happened before they came into the picture. Serena and Hotaru eyed Rei for a moment before turning back to the conversation at hand, Serena grasping Danny's hand in comfort. "Now that that is out of the way," said Pandora, "What do you propose that we do?"
"We still don't know what other ghosts they have on hand," pointed out Kwan.
"Yeah," said Tucker, "I was for sure thought that Skulker would be with King Endymion."
"Brat," growled Skulker before sighing, "I would have been in the employment of the threat, but I have seen what happens to Plasmius to know that I rather have this threat be taken down instead."
"Wait a minute," said Jazz, "What happened to Plasmius?"
"He bit more than he can chew, that's what happened," said Skulker as he crossed his arms, "King Endymion IV is as ruthless as they come. He even makes his punishments worse than Pariah Dark could ever come up with."
"Punishments," questioned Dash.
"Yes, child," said Skulker, "Apparently, he has some ghost scientists that I have never seen before that could produce a black star beam and take out a ghost core for shivers experiments."
"A… black star," questioned Ami worriedly.
"Ami-chan," questioned Minako.
"Remember how the heart crystals came out of the bodies of the civilians," responded back a worried Ami.
"How could I forget," said Makoto, "It was just our latest enemy we defeated."
"Then, do you all remember what kind of beam the Daimon would shoot at the civilians," pressed on a worried Ami.
"Hai," said Minako, "It was a black… star…"
"Masaka (No way)," exclaimed Haruka, "We have to deal with THOSE scientists again?!"
The Senshi looked very worried when Ami dropped hints on what exactly Skulker was talking about. Though, the others in the room looked on in confusion. They got that the scientists were probably enemies of the Senshi, but that was the only fact they could get. They didn't know what Daimon were and figured they didn't want to. Hotaru and Serena stiffened a bit when they heard the world Daimon, but the only ones who noticed were Danny and Kwan. The others were looking at the Senshi to explain more about what this Daimon was. The Senshi, however, were looking worried and, in Haruka's case, very angry. "Um," said Jadeite, "What are Daimon?"
"Daimon," said Haruka with anger shining in her eyes, "Are monsters that can produce a black star beam and extract a Pure Heart Crystal."
"Heart Crystal," questioned Dash.
"Hai," said Michiru, "A Pure Heart Crystal is a person's soul. This soul, when extracted, would look like a small, pink crystalline object that is a physical representation of a person's heart."
"O…kay," drawn out Hotaru, "So, instead of worrying about a ghost army, we also have to worry about YOUR past enemies?"
"Correct," said Setsuna, "Which is what I had feared in the beginning."
The Reincarnates, Jazz, Jadeite, and the ghosts that were present for the meeting looked at each other in surprised worry. They all thought that they had to worry about the Youma that were infused with ghost powers, but apparently, King Endymion IV had been busy gathering the Senshi's past enemies, like these scientists and Daimon. The Senshi, on their part, were angry that they just believed it was only the Youma from the Inners' past, along with Queen Metalia, but they were proved wrong when this Skulker told them about scientists and black star beams. It wasn't long that Rei tensed before producing an ofuda from nowhere and looked around. When the Senshi and Jadeite saw that, they too tensed and looked around. The others, however, were confused on what was happening but were alert all the same. "Come out, Youma," called out Rei.
"You think I will," cackled an evil voice, "I have the information I want and more."
"Ugh," groaned Jadeite, "Soul Shadow."
"Soul Shadow," echoed everyone present.
"A shadow-like Youma that could travel through shadows and gather information," grumbled out Jadeite who tensed once more when he heard…
"And won't Endymion-ōsama be just happy to learn what you have been doing, Jadeite," said the evil voice before laughing evilly and disappearing away.
"The Youma is gone," said a tensed Rei, "I can't sense it anymore."
"Great," groaned out Danny and Serena together.
"Well," said Tucker, "So much for a surprise attack."
"So…," said Kwan, "What ARE we going to do?"
- With The Enemies –
"Endymion-ōsama," said Soul Shadow as it reformed and bowed awkwardly.
"Report," said King Endymion.
It didn't take that long for Soul Shadow to come back with the information it had gathered silently. The Soul Shadow also knew that it just needed to report on WHO the so-called Ghost King is and his allies. It never said anything about learning about a plan to attack King Endymion and saving Samantha Mason and Mamoru Chiba. The Soul Shadow looked up at King Endymion and proceeded to tell him everything about what it had seen before trying to get closer. It was its ambition to find out more, but that Mars Senshi felt its evil presence, making the Soul Shadow flee. Once the information was given, King Endymion had an enraged face on. "So, my dear Aeolian is the new ghost king," growled out an angry King Endymion, "Anything else to report?"
"Hai," said Soul Shadow, "It seems as though Jadeite has allied himself with Prince Aeolian and the Senshi."
"Nani," yelled out an enraged King Endymion.
"Hai," said a nervous Soul Shadow, "I saw him sitting next to Prince Gaels of Saturn."
"The nerve of that general," growled King Endymion before smirking, "No matter on losing a weak Shiten'nō. We have our two allies."
"Ōsama," questioned Soul Shadow.
"Let me reintroduce you to my dear eldest son, Prince Endymion V and my dear niece, Princess Ashara," proclaimed King Endymion.
After the proclamation, two shadowed figures emerged slightly to only show their similar black hair and a pair of evil eyes filled with power, all the while King Endymion laughing evilly. That laughter rang throughout the entire castle/domain, making its way to Plasmius' ears. Wincing at the thoroughly evilest laugh he had ever heard, one thought rang throughout his mind with regret: 'Who have I agreed to work with?'
AN: Whelp~! Now, you all know that there are more than JUST Youma waiting for our heroes. (-"-;) But, you should have seen that coming. I mean, I said that King Endymion IV used a spell similar to that of the Wiseman on Sam. You gotta realize on HOW on Earth King Endymion IV knew that spell, ne? ( ´ー`) Well, I don't know when I will update again, but it's getting towards the heroes planning once more before confronting for a big battle… I think. ヽ(´ー`)┌ Anyways, happy reading. I am updating this story whenever I want. ◔_◔ So, ignoring all the reviews of updating faster. ᵕ꒳ᵕ
