Ok! New Story and my first crossover, as well as my first SP FanFic. Enjoy this short, introductory chapter, and R&R!
Valkyrie Cain smiled as the man launched himself towards her. She lifted her arms and pushed forward, seeing the air ripple in front of her. The man flew backwards and hit a wall, slumping to the ground.
'I'm starting to get the impression that I'm not really needed anymore.'
Valkyrie turned and saw a man walk towards her, dressed in a pristine pin striped suit with a hat covering the top half of his face. The end of a scarf poked out of one of his pockets. His name, was Skulduggery Pleasant.
'Skulduggery, you know you haven't been needed at all.'
'Of course Valkyrie, and without me, you would have been introduced to another world of magic, nearly died numerous times and learned of secrets that should have remained hidden?'
'Ok. Keep your hair on.' Valkyrie winced as soon as she spoke, but Skulduggery didn't let on.
'Come on Valkyrie. We need to get back to the Sanctuary.'
Valkyrie nodded and began to make her way towards the entrance to the building, when a floating globe of light appeared in mid air. She adopted a fighting stance and looked behind her to see Skulduggery doing the same.
The globe expanded and shot forward, enveloping the two of them. Valkyrie clicked her fingers and put some magic into the spark. She was about to throw it at the globe, when there was a flash and the building disappeared.
They appeared again facing the sky. Valkyrie looked around her and saw they were standing on a tower, in an unfamiliar part of Ireland. Then again, they could be anywhere in the world. She turned and saw a person clad in a black cloak, floating in the air beside a huge black crystal. No, that wasn't a person, and there were no disturbances in the air that she could feel. She was about to move towards it. When it lifted its arms and shot a black orb towards her. Valkyrie reacted quickly, putting up a barrier of air as she lifted her arms. The orb hit the barrier and strained for a moment. Valkyrie took this time to move out of the way, which was a smart move as the orb managed to break through the barrier. The thing in the black cloak seemed to cry out, before darkness spread over the top of the tower. Valkyrie saw Skulduggery's scarf fall to the ground and get sucked into the darkness, and she sent a small flame at the cloaked thing. It responded by lifting the darkness at a certain point to form a wall, which stopped the flame from hitting. Valkyrie backed up against a wall, and feared for the worst.
