Ring to it (dp x dc)
the idea’s not mine, go check out this post for that good stuff:)
"So what, I just call them here?" Danny asks Frostbite dubiously.
"The royal guard's apparel will appear on command of the king," Frostbite confirms patiently. "And Great One?" the yeti adds. "Take care to remember they can only be bestowed upon ghosts."
"Yeah, I got that," Danny waves away. "It's more the summoning thing I don't get."
"Envision the stones in your hands," Frostbite guides him, "and close your eyes."
Danny wants to comment on how cliche that sounds but holds back and instead does as he's told. He holds out an open palm and concentrates on the task. He focuses all his attention on his palm and wills the tokens to appear in his hand.
One second, there's nothing and the other, there's a bunch of black rings spilling out of his hand.
"What the hell?" Danny yelps as he tries to catch them but his hand can't hold it all and they spill on the green-tinged snow. The halfa turns to Frostbite but the older ghost has a frown on his face as well.
"This is not right," the yeti says. "There are only supposed to be thirteen tokens."
"Did Pariah make more?" the teen hazards a guess but Frostbite shakes his head.
"Not to my knowledge." He bends to pick up one ring and examines it carefully. "It seems as if someone reforged the original tokens into these rings, only leaving a sliver of the original stones in each."
"Is that bad? That sounds bad," Danny says nervously.
"In the wrong hands, these stones could mean a war in the Realms. I can not imagine the ravages it would cause in the living world," the yeti answers solemnly as he hands the ring back to Danny.
"Yep, that's bad," Danny states. "At least we got all of them right?"
That should be good news, but the yeti hesitates. The halfa groans.
"Not necessarily," Frostbite starts hesitantly. "It is possible only the rings with the most of the original stones have answered your call. I would wager that these are not the only rings, only the most powerful."
"Oh you have got to be kidding me," Danny groans.
"Don't worry, Great One," the yeti tries to reassure him. "The Infini-map should be able to locate them easily."
"Thanks, Frostbite," Danny says before dragging a hand down his face as Frostbite goes out to get the map.
"Of course it's a scavenger hunt," the halfa mutters to himself. "Why would the powers that be let anything in my life go smoothly."

Once more unto the Breach writing prompt
"Run Dann-o! RUN!" Jack Fenton slams his armored fists into an undead Maddie Fenton flying at them, her hazmat suit bearing a rudimentary hand shape. He grabs the figure's hand as it grasps his chest, Danny hesitates before turning invisible and flying back to Fentonworks and through the portal.
"This needs to be put to an end. Everything's gone..." Phantom blurs as his speed increases, looking for a specific haunt. Passing destroyed lairs and islands; Skulker's hunting grown withered, Ghostwriter's library is burning and the Zone is quiet.
Pariah's keep still stands, the skeleton army long gone, inside Phantom finds the Crown of Fire and the Ring of Rage. Their spirits weeping inside their artifacts.
He heads to Duat region; spotting who he was looking for he slams into them, causing her to scream and blast him. "Phantom! I never thought, they couldn't have gotten you."
"They haven't, Desiree. Everyone's gone, I need your help." Phantom floats up and sets her right as he apologizes.
"I-I can't. I can't fight them, I can't.." She
"I need you to grant a wish."
"No! Please don't, a wish is what caused this. I can't undo it. They've gained to much power."
"Desiree... Please, I- As your king, you must do this, I command you."
"Yes, sire..." Desiree glowers as she bows.
"I would go to Clockwork or Frostbite for the map but I can't; their," Phantom bites back a sob, "They're gone."
Desiree's anger lessens slightly and sighs, "Make your wish my sire and make it a good one."
"You may not be able to stop the Black Lantern Corps but I can. Not now but back then, I've lost to many people, my core is breaking. I Wish for you to send me back in time before the Black Lantern Corps came to be, before the Black Hand used the cosmic divining rod when he was William Hand. I will save our loved ones and our people."
"So you have wished it, so shall it be." Desiree gives her king a kiss on the cheek before casting him back in time. A black fist erupts from her chest, her core shattering, "You will not get me, you will not get my king. I am at peace because there will be Balance... He has wished it."

You're not making me feel any better about the story choices you've made, DC.
It doesn't make her sound like a badass when she's citing shit we all hated.
Especially when you decide to use a metatextual reference in an attempt to be cheeky

The Blackest Night
Falls from the Skies
The Darkness grows as all light dies
We crave your hearts, and their demise
By my Black Hand,
The Dead Shall Rise.

Giovanni Zatara faced death with bravery, honor and fire. It's why the Black Lanterns were doomed to fail, the heroes were there when their friends and comrades gave their lives and they know that no hero sells their lives with regret, only with courage.
