Danny Phantom: Infinity war

PROLOGUE

Summary: A large storm grew ever closer and everyone - ghost, humans and animals alike were unaware of it. It was coming for them and Clockwork should have heeded her words when she told him. The time for preparations is at hand. And they were going to need as many allies they can get.

A/N: A DP fic that is long overdue. This is a mix of some old stuff mixed with new stuff so that it makes more sense. After PP.

PROLOGUE

[Timeline #90]

Within a tightly closed chamber, nothing but dimly and otherworldly orbs were the only source of light there is. The room itself lacked any materialistic decor. It was a discussing display of living veins and nerves bunched together that created the room itself.

A scream filled the silence. Echoing her feeble pleas to deaf ears.

"Stop! Stop it! You've already won, stop it!"

A petite female ghost struggled to get out of her binds, for many a times now. But they held her down, and they were stronger than any material substance on the planet. Living or dead.

The veins held her down with a iron grip that not even her strongest attack, the Sonic screech, could release her from her binds.

Agonized screams caught her attention again as she returned to look at the eyeball of a screen to see two more of her precious friends die at hands of Cartophyllus' minions.

"Blisse, Vlad! No!"

"Oh, look at you. So helpless. So pathetic!", a disembodied voice echoed around and the trapped ghost couldn't help but flinch from the sudden appearance of said voice.

"Cartophyllus, enough! You've got what you want. We had an agreement!"

Humming resonated around the cage. "Nah, I think not. Why waste a good opportunity as this? And with your Emperium core, dear Egret, gathering the core of every living being and ghost alike, I will be unstoppable."

Shock coursed through the ghost, Egret. How? How did Cartophyllus know about the cores inside the humans? It makes sense for the ghosts, but that type of knowledge was never supposed to be brought to light. No one was to know about it. How? How? How?!

"How did you know-"

Egret was cut off by a high pitched laugh.

"Oh, please. I did not wonder the earth for millennia after my banishment doing nothing. I was once the guardian of knowledge. And you know that knowledge means power. I could never get enough of it when I read from the Sacred Library. The fools didn't even realize that several of their more precious tomes were replaces by fakes." Cartophyllus said with a flippant before a gleeful continuation followed.

"Imagine my surprise to discover such as the Ghost zone. Admittedly, long, long before the Fentons did. My search for power were the most fruitful of discoveries. Imagine my finds of such as the Emperium core."

Cartophyllus cackled as Egret struggled to get free.

"I would say that struggling is pointless, but it is funny seeing you do so. Now enjoy as the last of your comrades perish. After I take their cores, you will be next. Ta ta, my dear."

The sinister being laughed as they left the lone ghost to herself but her shrill screams drowned it out as she helplessly watch see her friends die one after another.
