Beginning A/N: Normally, when I write stories of this category, I would send the main character on a journey throughout the multiverse so they could grow stronger, beat the bad guy, find love, and live happily ever after. I don't know why, but when I came up with this idea, I thought I'd try something a little different. And let me just say; I do not regret it one bit. So, sit tight and join me as Danny goes on his own journey to become the new King of Ghosts. But you can bet that he won't be alone in this adventure of his.
A/N 2: Please keep in mind that this story is purely experimental. I won't be updating it frequently, and if anyone else wants to give this story a shot by writing their own version then that's fine. But please be sure to PRIVATE MESSAGE ME SO THAT I KNOW IT'S YOU AND I CAN READ YOUR VERSION OF THE STORY!
Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom, Avatar The Last Airbender, Star Wars, Bayonetta, Highschool DXD, Bleach, Teen Titans, Dragon Ball Super, or RWBY!
Prologue
Young Danny Fenton, he was just fourteen when his parents built a very strange machine that was designed to view a world unseen. When it didn't quite work, his folks up and quit, then Danny took a look inside of it. There was a great big flash, everything just changed! His molecules got all rearranged!
When he first woke up, he realized he had snow white hair, and glowing green eyes. He could walk through walls, disappear, and fly. He was much more unique than the other guys. And it was then that he knew what he had to do. He had to stop all the ghosts that were coming through.
He's here to fight for me and you!
Is how it normally would be in one of these stories.
However, the timeline heavily deviated from the original when Daniel 'Danny' James Fenton received his powers from the portal incident. For one, he didn't receive his powers until he was sixteen years old. Two years later than when he got them in the original timeline. And, despite Sam and Tucker's pestering about them, he's kept his powers hidden away for fear of what his parents, as ghost hunters, would do to him if they found out about his ghostly powers. He, rightfully so, feared that they would strap him down to a medical table and dissect him alive to see what makes a ghost tick, and at the worst they would slowly and agonizingly rip him to pieces molecule by molecule! And it is because of those fears that Danny has kept his powers hidden away ever since.
But that doesn't mean that he's helpless. Danny has been training with his powers in his own special location that not even Sam and Tucker know about. And he intends to keep it that way.
Due to his secret training, Danny has discovered that he has a plethora of different powers that he can use. He started out with a few basic powers. Among them were flight/levitation, invisibility, intangibility, the power to overshadow living beings and use them as living puppets, and a sixth sense that tells him when a ghost is nearby. He calls it his Ghost Sense, which is at the same time both appropriate and ironic. Through his training he has unlocked the power to use his own ectoplasmic energy to fuel a variety of attacks and other special abilities. The first was a Ghost Ray which shoots concentrated blasts of ectoplasm like laser beams. Then there was his ecto shield which is an ability that is quite self-explanatory. He could also use duplication, electrokinesis, telekinesis, and a repulsion field.
And Danny could feel that he was merely scratching the surface with his powers. He often uses his powers to rangle stray ghosts back into natural portals that seem to appear in town, usually in an area where there are no witnesses to these fights and away from the city to avoid property damage. So far, the ghosts he's fought have only been Ectopi, ghostly octopi that seem to have no true sapience and are relatively easy to take care of so long as they don't attack in large groups.
And yet, as he was walking to school that day, Danny couldn't help but feel like that would be changing soon, and that he would soon be fighting against new enemies that were much more intelligent and would begin to push him to his limits like these ectopi never could.
Oh, if only he knew just what was happening in the multiverse right now.
Something that would be a major turning point in his life.
~In The Void~
Within the vast multiverse is a plane of existence that is meant to be the gap between separate worlds. Sometimes, people can accidentally find bridges between those worlds and traverse said gap, thus allowing them to interact with worlds so vastly different from their own that they defy comprehension. But there are also those who traverse the multiverse with reasons that are not so noble or accidental. Such as a futuristic ship flying through the void carrying cargo that it should not be carrying.
"How are the prisoners doing?" asked a shadowed humanoid in a distorted voice.
"Vitals remain stable. Cryogenic slumber functioning at optimal levels." responded another distorted voice.
"Good. The master will be pleased with this haul. Once we arrive at base, we can collect our loot and the boss's scientists can begin the brainwashing procedures before augmenting them with their own advanced technology to create the perfect super soldiers. Technology that was reverse engineered from conquered scientists across the multiverse, actually. And if it doesn't succeed, well…" the owner of the first voice turned to a set of pods and said with a lecherous voice "I'm certain that our boss's troops will be more than happy to have their way with the bitches."
The owners of the voices cackled as they refocused on getting the ship to its destination so that they could deliver some special cargo. At the back of the ship lay several cryo tubes where the ship's prisoners were being kept in suspended animation. Each one of them was a powerful figure from a different part of the multiverse. All that was visible of them was a silhouette in the shape of a humanoid body. Each one was clearly female as one can tell from the body type. Though each one had certain distinguishing features about themselves that clearly showed that they weren't from the same world. Even their pods were labeled in a way that showed that they came from different parts of the multiverse. Like the stylized flame insignia on one of the pods, for example.
The raiders had one thing in mind when they were gathering these powerful women. And that was a job that they had been hired for.
They were to travel the multiverse and essentially kidnap some of the strongest female warriors for a race of beings known as the homunculi so that they could be brainwashed and molded into the perfect super soldiers for their army. An army bent on destroying the multiverse one world at a time before rebuilding the multiverse in their image. And if brainwashing was unsuccessful for whatever reason, then the femme fatales would be used as broodmares to create more powerful children that could be molded into the weapons that their mothers couldn't. And with the advanced technology of the homunculi, they wouldn't need to wait nine months for them to be born.
Either way, it would be a truly horrifying situation for the prisoners aboard the mercenary ship.
But the ship suddenly lurched forward as if it had been struck by something!
"What the hell was that?" asked one of the mercs.
"I don't know, but whatever it was it was big!" exclaimed the one piloting.
"Ready all weapons! I want whatever this thing is vaporized by the time we're done with it!" ordered the apparent leader.
"Yes sir!"
But before they could do anything, something appeared in their view port. It was an enormous eye belonging to a giant dragon of Chinese mythology! The beast snarled and opened its maw to reveal rows upon rows of sharp, dagger-like teeth! The mercenaries screamed to the heavens as they realized that they wouldn't be making it out of this alive. But as for their prisoners?
Their journey isn't over yet. Not by a long shot!
Especially since their pods were knocked through a bridge in the void and sent to the world where Danny Fenton resides. Or rather, the Danny Fenton from the world that we had just witnessed earlier.
And as they all fell through into his world, the bridge sealed shut as the mercenary ship was destroyed with everyone on it. As the dragon finished destroying the mercenaries and their ship down to the last atom, he looked to where the mercenaries' prisoners had been launched.
"Oh dear! I must tell DJ what happened! He'll know what to do!" the dragon said.
He then flew off through the void to find the one person who could possibly help him with this situation.
***To Be Continued…***
Ending A/N: The prologue's a little rushed, I know. But like I said, this is an experimental story so it's not my best work. I'm working with what I've got right now. Anyway, thank you all so much for reading this chapter. I really hope that you all enjoyed it. Be sure to leave a review if you so desire, and I will see you all in the next update!
