Prologue I

Earth Year 1981
oooOOOoooOOOooo

Velsher was sitting at his work station on the mighty flagship of his people. This alone signified that he was the best in his field, an honor that made him strive to remain the best. It was this diligence that allowed him to pick out a faint anomalous energy reading from the vast amount of raw data that the sensors were collecting. Velsher manipulated his stations controls and concentrated the powerful long range sensors in the direction that the anomalous energy reading emanated from. Invisible beams reached out and soon an answer of what the anomalous readings were returned.

The answer made Velsher gasp in surprise; for Asgard don't gasp. The computer core automatically initiated the procedure that was developed for just a purpose, sending out a priority message and all relevant data back to his home world so that the High Council would know of this development and also informed his commander of just what he discovered. Velsher increased the power to the scanners, determined to give his superiors all the information that he could, knowing that the fate of his people hung in the balance.

Thor, Supreme Commander of the Asgard fleet was alerted to Velsher's discovery immediately after it was made. To say that he was shocked would be an understatement. He knew the probability of what they discovered happening was possible, but he never would have thought that it would happen this soon. But inside he was happy that it did. Every member of their society knew that there race was on the precipice.

His people, the Asgard, for eons, used clones and consciousness transference technology to achieve a sense of immortality, and that choice was killing them today. Physically, they are a mere shadow of what they once were. The Asgard of old, closely resembled a modern day human in size while having a larger cranium to house their advanced brain capacity but now, they were a diminutive race, half the stature of old with a more pronounced bulbous head to store their immense knowledge. This is the result of cellular degradation and soon, their ability to produce viable clones to store their consciousness will end. To date, everything that they have tried to reverse the degradation has failed. But all hope has not been lost for an answer might have just been discovered, and Thor wouldn't let this opportunity go to waste.

Thor knew that by now the rest of the High Council would be meeting, discussing the situation so he transported himself to the computer room and activated the holographic projection system to join in on the meeting. He appeared in his throne like chair and all in the High Council chambers where they were obviously waiting for him.

"Supreme Commander, what do you have to report?" Freyr, the council spokesman asked.

"Several minutes ago, senior sensor operator Velsher detected faint anomalous energy readings. Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that the energy readings were actually a human that was emanating large concentrations of zero point energy on Terra. I do not have to tell you what this means, I propose that we bring this human to Othala where they will learn of their destiny and realize their full potential."

"What you propose hasn't been done in thousands of years. What of our own edict that we will not interfere in the development of less advance civilizations." One of the high councilors said.

"If these readings are indicative of this humans true nature," Thor said, sweeping his gaze around the room, "they now belong to race that is older than ours. Let's not forget what is at stake."

"So you propose to take this human and use them to our own gains?" Freyr said indignantly.

With a patience that seemed infinite, Thor answered Freyr. "While I admit that part of my motivation is solely on our survival, we must not forget about the alliance of old, we are required to render aid to any member of a member race. We know the current state of several galaxies, their own in particular. Should we not share that knowledge to ensure that they are ready to face the perils that they are surrounded by?"

"But all we have is an energy signature, we don't know if this means that they are Alteran." Said a different Asgard.

Thor had to concede to that, he was too far away to know definitively what the readings actually were, so he proposed an alternative suggestion. "I will go to the planet and thoroughly investigate the situation and report back with my findings. We can decide our next course of action from there."

There were nods all the way around, seeing this Freyr approved of the plan. "We agree; we will await your report when you have one. Good luck Supreme Commander."

"Good luck to us all" Thor said to the rest of the council before he deactivated the holographic projector, ending the transmission to his home galaxy. He transported himself back to the bridge and used his command terminal to override bridge controls and activated the ships hyperdrive, bringing them to the. While the crew could have done this just as efficiently, he had other things that he needed them to do; once again using his command terminal to assign them there tasks. The trip to Terra, or as the humans have named it, Earth was made in seconds. With the stealth systems fully operational, Thor positioned the ship in a high orbit.

The Asgard was no stranger to the planet Terra. In fact his people were responsible for the birth of Norse mythology on Terra and in fact still used the same methods today to interact with cultures that they believe can't handle the truth of who and what the Asgard truly are. But even before that, the Asgard were frequent guests of the planet when it was the chosen home world of the Alteran Empire, an empire that spanned majority of the galaxy. The Alterans were the oldest and most advanced race that the Asgard has ever encountered in the numerous galaxies that they have explored. Compared to the Alterans, the Asgard was still in their teens.

Not only were the Alterans tens of millions of years older, but there fundamental understanding of the infinite universe was far greater than any imaginable quantity. This can be seen in the well-known technologies that they created; Astria portas, potential, and their famed drone weapons. Unfortunately, a plague that even with the amassed amount of knowledge at their disposal, a plague ravished the galaxy, destroying every living thing in its path, and the Alterans were powerless to stop it. The Asgard, visitors of the galaxy retreated back to their home galaxy and continued to grow while what was left of the Alterans left the galaxy for a new one. But if they were anything, the Alterans were planners. While they destroyed a lot of their empire, they left a large amount of technology and installations still functional throughout the galaxy; some easier to access than others. After the city ship Atlantis left the galaxy, a device purged the galaxy of all life, the plague with it and reseeded the galaxy with the building blocks needed for life forms to grow and evolve once again.

It was here that there plan began. On Terra, they made sure that the second evolution of man, their children would be born, with the hopes that one day, one would be born that could use their massed amount of knowledge to return the Alteran race back to its former glory. The technology and installations were left, were left so that it could be used to assist the first reborn accomplish their goals. The Asgard, being the closest ally to the mighty Alterans knew of this plan and therefore did not interfere in it, even though many thought that all Alteran technology, minus the stargate should be destroyed. It was feared that the technology could be abused by any society that found it.

This fear turned out to be accurate and a race known as the Goa'uld came to power. But by the time that the Asgard discovered them, they already had a sizable fleet of ships, thousands of worlds. It was discovered that the Goa'uld had managed to pervert several technologies left by the Alterans. They also enslaved humans and also used them as hosts, claiming that they as a race were Gods, the advanced technology that they had led credence to their claim. It was the Asgard's own edicts that allowed the Goa'uld to remain in power for they did not interfere in the development primitive races, and the Goa'uld was classified as such. But neither could they just sit back nor let the entire human population be subjected to slavery and domination.

The approval of the High Council, the Asgard military deployed a stealth satellite network throughout the galaxy. From there they claimed several planets as their own. After several conflicts, in where the Asgard displayed just how wide the gap in power was between them, the Goa'uld began to fear the Asgard. It was this fear because it was the catalyst for the creation of the Protected Planets Treaty. It allowed the Asgard to have several worlds that they Goa'uld would never touch, allowing human populations the chance to evolve at their own pace, but in return, the Asgard would leave the Goa'uld free to do as they will. The satellite network was used to determine if any ships approached the planet via hyperspace, and any infraction was quickly dealt with. It was the patrol of the protected planets that brought Thor and his flagship into the galaxy. They needed to remind the Goa'uld that they were still there, ready and able to defend the planets that were under there protection. It was for this reason that Thor was in the Galaxy and chance that he was in position for the sensors of his flagship to pick up the faint energy reading. Now Thor had to investigate and determine the next step that he would take.

With the bridge crew still working on the other tasks that he assigned them, Thor took control of the sensors, sending powerful yet invisible probes to the surface, stripping away at is secrets. It took only a few moments for Thor to get a fix on the location of the zero point energy. Intensifying the sensor, Thor was able to get a clear picture of what he was looking at. The energy was radiating off a child that was asleep on the porch of what the computer said was a human dwelling.

Thor started to put together a disturbing picture from the information that he was seeing. The house had four bedrooms but only enough supplies and materials for three people. Upon further intense scans, Thor was able to tell that the child outside was of no relation to those that were in the dwelling. Thor continued his scans while he sent the information that he had to the other members of the high council along with his suggestion for his next course of action.

It was his belief that due to the way that the boy was left outside, that he was in fact left there for the family to find when they awoke. Being left outside, the relative primitive state of the planet, and the fact that the child was exuding considerable amounts of zero point energy, more than even the Alterans during the height of their empire, he proposed that he bring the child on board and find out exactly what was going on inside him to radiate such energy and to see if his earlier belief was true, that this child was the return of the Alterans. Quicker than he thought, the high council transmitted their reply and it seemed that most on the council agreed with him.

With a few deft commands, the boy was transported from the surface and into the medical bay. Thor also beamed himself there so that he would be present while the medical crew ran the child through a series of tests. It was of the upmost importance that they know exactly what was happening and what the boy was so that they could make the best decision on what should be done with him. When he appeared in the medical bay, Thor could see several of his kin already running deep scans on the, what appeared to be sleeping child. He walked over to a pile of stuff that the arrived with the boy when he transported him on board. There was something for the child to rest on, a covering, and a note. Thor took the note to the nearest terminal and had the computer core on the ship translate the letter.

After several moments, Thor was able to read the letter. It was a letter that had been left by Albus Dumbledore to a Petunia Dursley and explained the circumstances of the child, Harry's arrival, including the death of both her sister, Lily, and her brother-in-law, James. As she was the only member of the family that had her sister's blood running through her, this ensured the protection of Harry and her family from Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters. Thor knew that this Albus was wrong in he said that the young child was related to those inside and scans have already proved that as not true. As to who or what Lord Voldemort and Death Eaters were, a more thorough investigation will be needed to discover that. Thor approached the others that were conducting the tests on the child; he wanted to get a preliminary report.

"What information do you have at this time?"

One of the healers stopped what they were doing and turned his attention towards the supreme commander while the others continued on with their work.

"Preliminary scans show that the child's DNA is in a state of flux. We also know that he is saturated in two types of energy and it is that mix that is resulting in the creation of zero point energy."

"What type of energy is it?

"That is still uncertain, but early analysis leads to the conclusion that the two energies are the inverse of each other."

"Interesting."

"It is indeed."

"Alert me when you have more information." Thor said. When he got a nod in response, he beamed himself to the computer core room; he was going to see if he could get more information on their young guest.

In the med bay, the officers quickly started finding answers. Half an hour after Thor left, they discovered that the boy could naturally produce and manipulate energy. A little while later they made the discovery that the second energy pattern was very close to terminating the boy's life. The matrix of the foreign energy pattern was almost a direct inverse to that of child's original energy pattern, and the dual annihilation would kill the boy. Being close to inverse however did have unforeseen consequences; the zero point energy that the child was producing as a result of the mutual destruction of the two energies was somehow being absorbed and used to advance his body and brain to handle the stress that it was under, resulting in his DNA fluctuations. They notified Thor immediately with findings, which in turn made another appearance to the High Council meeting room in his home galaxy.

"Greetings, I come with an update. We have discovered that the energy readings…" Thor told the rest of the High Council what he and his crew discovered.

"So the boy has no family?"

"Unfortunately, the planet is not that advanced, computers are being developed on the planet but as of yet, they are not in use on the entire planet. From the few that we could connect to, there is no reference to the child, Harry Potter. Also the note that was left with him said that he had no family left of any kind."

All the Asgard on the council nodded their heads in understanding, taking a minute to let the information sink in. After several moments, the meeting resumed.

"Are there any theories on what the end result of the fluctuations of the child's genome will be?"

"While we don't know the end result, the child is already far more advanced physiologically than the baseline humans on the planet. Along with that, his brain activity has already risen 18 percent. His unconscious use of the zero point energy, we believe will allow him to manipulate and generate the energy at will, more so than the only other race known to produce and manipulate this energy, the Alterans. Lastly, we have discovered that the child has the gene that will allow him to operate any and all technology left by the Alterans. This means that while it is too early to tell for certain what will happen, we can speculate that the child is indeed, the first child of the Alterans."

Excited whispers broke out amongst the High Council at that statement. Freyr raised a diminutive hand, silencing the rest of the council. "We have much to prepare for. If we are to raise this child of the Alterans, we must find an appropriate place and have the right personnel ready to attend to his needs."

"In case this was the outcome, I tasked my crew to begin finding an appropriate solution to…"

Thor was on his way to visit with young Harry and to assess his progress. The high council decided to raise him in the safest place that they knew of, in a neighboring galaxy where no one knew who or what an Alteran was. The Asgard had frequent dealing in the galaxy and had a system that they claimed as their own. There was already a small Asgard outpost built on a habitable planet so the Asgard decided to add to it. Using all that they knew of the Alterans architecture, they expanded the infrastructure of the outpost, turning it into the size of a colony. They also gathered pieces of Alteran technology that they have collected and different pieces of outposts that were salvaged after they were destroyed. They just left the technology gathered together in one place, figuring that Harry could eventually learn from the gathered technology. The final test would be if he could make all the tech operational once again. There was one device that they didn't leave out though, it was the repository of knowledge that they salvaged and tried to learn from. When the time was right, they would gift it to the child.

Alteran technology wasn't the only thing that the Asgard took to the new colony, Statim Disce; they also took a colonies worth of teachers and scientists and also a heavily defended Asgard database that contained all their knowledge. They had a lot to teach Harry but they also had a lot that they could learn.

The futuristic and sleek design of the colony was further enhanced by the parks and plant life found throughout it. This served as the perfect place for the Nox to come and visit with Harry. The Asgard themselves have no experience of self-energy manipulation so they couldn't help him learn to control it. But they could find those that could. The Nox, were another ancient race that displayed the ability to manipulate energy and were also s member of the ancient alliance. It wasn't ZPE that the Nox manipulated but a type of energy derived from nature. Finding the Nox home world was easy as the Asgard had the coordinates but actually finding them on the planet was much more difficult. The Nox were perfectly capable of hiding themselves, even from the mighty Asgard sensors. But answer they did, bringing the two races together again.

After the pleasantries and appointments set for the leadership of both races scheduled to be held, they asked for the purpose of their visit. The Asgard told them about young Harry and to say the Nox were shocked would be an understatement. They agreed to meet with Harry and would determine if they could help him. Needless to say that soon after meeting him, the Nox agreed that they would help him. Not only did they help him learn to control and harness his energy manipulation abilities, they also let their young visit and play with Harry, allowing him to interact with kids for the first time. After Harry learned to control and feel the energy that flowed through him, the Nox started to teach him the abilities that the Alterans were known to have, telekinesis, telepathy, healing etc…

They, the Nox, were startled at the speed in which Harry picked up the skills. It seemed that he had a natural affinity to manipulate the ZPE within him. While they didn't know it yet, the abilities that he were taught were just the tip of his capabilities.

Thor dropped his ship out of hyperspace close to the planet where Statim Disce was located and continued on to the planet, easily passing through the defensive grid employed to protect the planet. Entering a high orbit, Thor beamed himself outside of Harry's favorite room, his lab.

oooOOOoooOOOooo

Harry was a happy boy of six years old. Even though he was six, he knew that he was different than kids of the same age on his birth planet, Terra. Curious as to why that was, he asked his Asgard mentors. They explained that given his advanced physiology, being more developed than other kids on his home planet was natural. His energy, the zero point energy, advanced his body and mind to that of an Alteran and explained to him what that meant. After they told him about the Alterans, he asked them how he could be one if he was born on Terra, millions of years after the Alterans left the galaxy.

When he asked them, the Asgard knew exactly what happened to him to advance him to that of an Alteran; but they didn't know why it happened. Harry learned that his body was naturally able to produce and manipulate a special form of energy. If that wasn't enough, when he was found by the Asgard, his energy was fighting off a field of energy that was almost completely the inverse to his natural energy. A completely inversed field would have ensured his death, but luckily that was not the case. However there was a side effect; the two energies created zero point energy which began to fluctuate his genetic structure. His body was under immense stress so his body began to absorb the zero point energy and using it awesome power, his entire being was advanced so that it could cope. It appeared that sometime far back in the past he had an Alteran ancestor, whose genome remained strong in his family since it was those genetic properties that his body used to guide his advancement.

Harry realized how precarious his situation was and how close he was to dying but he firmly believed that he survived because he was meant to. He was an Alteran and was very proud of it. He knew that he had a rough road ahead of him and would quite possibly lead a solitary life in the beginning but he was determined to fulfill the plans of his ancient ancestors, he would return restore the Alteran civilization, or die trying. He was also determined to help the benevolent Asgard that was giving him the tools to complete his task.

Harry didn't know if they knew that he knew, but he learned some time ago that the Asgard were in danger of dying as a race. Some time ago, Harry asked if there were any Asgard children that he could play with, he was told that the Asgard is incapable of having children. From there he learned of how the Asgard insured their long lives through cloning and consciousness transference technologies. Sometime after that conversation, Harry was researching a theory in the Asgard database and came across information on the physiology of the Asgard when they first started to use cloning technology. The deference was appalling; true there was advancement in the size of their cranium allowing for the sizable increase in intelligence, which is displayed in their technology, but in every other area of physical development, there was only degradation. Harry considered the Asgard family and he wouldn't let their demise come to pass if he could help it. He knew that it would be some time until he was able to help them, and he would need to learn all that he could, so he took to mastering everything that he was taught.

The very first thing that Harry learned was the Alteran language. Since the dialect that he learned was in use before the Alterans left Terra millions of years ago, it is possible that the language had evolved since then. Harry also learned to understand the Asgard language; while he couldn't speak it, so far no one could , except the Asgard themselves; he could understand what they were saying. Once he mastered those two languages, they proceeded to teach him the other languages of the galaxy, starting with Goa'uld and the language of his birth country on Terra, English. Along with the languages, the Asgard taught him the basic sciences. The beauty of the setup that the Asgard created was that since it was only Harry that was being taught, they were able to work at Harry's own pace. It was due to that setup that brought Harry as far as he was, he was learning hyperspace theory. At the age of six, this was amazing.

It wasn't only science that he was learning, the Nox were teaching him about energy manipulation. The Nox was a truly amazing race with incredible powers. He was privileged to learn from them. They even told him that when he learned to control his powers and achieve a certain level of clarity of thought, he would be even more powerful then they and able to do much more with his gifts. The first thing that they taught Harry was the art of meditation; this was vital as he needed to be able to find his center and be one with himself to even get the beginnings of control. Like his other studies, Harry pushed himself to learn as much as he could. Fortunately, the Nox understood his reasoning to master his gifts, all they said was that it might not be there way, but they couldn't choose his way for him.

Harry was interrupted from his inner musings when he felt the energy pattern of the Asgard transporter. This was another thing that he learned he was capable of, sensing energy and its patterns, all it normally took was one time for Harry to sense an energy pattern and from there on, if he felt it again, he would be able to tell what it was.

"Ilkma, open the door." Harry said aloud to his personal AI matrix. The Asgard created Ilkma to assist Harry in learning and tasks related to his day to day life. Ilkma had the ability to appear to an advance holographic matrix but for now, the AI decided to communicate through voice alone. With a swish, the door to his lab opened. Before Harry could see who it was that came to visit, he received the answer.

"Sir, Supreme Commander Thor is approaching." Ilkma said. Harry was expecting Thor and couldn't wait to show him his newest creation. It was a game that Harry loved to play, how many reactions could he get from the seemingly emotionless race that were the Asgard. Oh the fun he was going to have…

With a gasp, Harry removed his head from the repository of knowledge. The sheer amount of knowledge that was available to him was staggering. This was the first time that he was allowed to use the repository; the Asgard believed that he would be able to handle the amount of information due to his advance brain physiology and his understanding of many advanced technology and sciences of the Asgard. But what they didn't know and that Harry figured out was that any Alteran that was mentally strong could control the flow, amount, and the contents of the knowledge that they wanted. This was preferable because if he were to download everything in the repository, he would lose himself to the information.

While he was connected to the repository, in his mind he saw designs and schematics to some truly wondrous technology but he was decided that instead of creating powerful weapons or power sources, he would use this opportunity to pay back some of the debt that he owed. In seconds he the answers to the Asgard's cloning problems. He had plans to a device that would allow the Asgard to sequence and modify a beings genetic code at the deepest of levels.

Now all he had to do was build it.

Harry stood proud before the High Council of the Asgard. He was 14 years old, but looking at him you would assume that he would have been in his early twenties. He was confident, but not overly so, and was ready to strike out on his own and begin the quest left to him by his ancestors.

The Asgard knew that he was ready due to Harry's ability to construct a fully functional Alteran outpost with a Potentia, drone weapons, and stargate included. The Asgard never expected Harry to make the outpost as functional as it was, not so soon anyways. After studying and mastering nanotechnology, he devised a way for nanites to build whatever it was that he needed; all that they needed was to be programmed with the design and access to raw materials. Using the natural resources on the planet which were vast, it was the reason the planet was chosen, Harry built facilities to create not only Potentias but the drone weapons as well. For the Potentia, the Asgard had to find and transport the required crystals that were used in their construction. Using transporter technology, mining the crystal was a simple affair.

To say that the Asgard people were proud of Harry would be an understatement. His gift to them three years ago has saved their race from certain death. There was even hope that with enough time, they will be able to reproduce once again. Already, thanks to the DNA re-sequencer that Harry gifted them, the physiology of the Asgard has changed. They were a little taller and didn't look as frail as they once did. Promise of a future has revitalized the Asgard race, where once all they thought of was how to survive; now they thought of how they would live. All thanks to the proud young man that was standing before them.

"Harry Potter, you have greatly exceeded any and all expectations set before you. Not only that but you have given us, the Asgard people a future. We will always be in your debt." Thor said from his seat on the council, bowing his head deeply in respect.

Returning the bow to his closest friend, Harry spoke in a strong and confident voice, the Alteran language flowing flawlessly from his lips. "It is I who owe you. You saved my life when you didn't have to. You taught me all that I know and gave me the means to not only help you, but to restore the Alteran Empire to its former glory, and most importantly, you gave me friends and family. For that, I will always be eternally grateful."

Freyr, as the speaker of the council spoke next. "It is the opinion of the High Council that you are ready to lead your people, and as such wish to convey onto you the title and the recognition that it is entitled to, Magnus; leader of the Alterans."

If possible, Harry stood a little taller, proud of his accomplishment. He bowed deeply showing his gratitude of the Asgard High Council. "It is an honor to be recognized as the leader of my people and I will do everything in my power to live up to that standard."

"Believe in you we do Harry Magnus. Tell us, what will you do first?" Thor asked, curious as to the path that Harry would take.

"I plan to recover the shining light of my ancestors, Atlantis. From the repository, I was able to discover a gate address that will take me to the stargate control complex. For security reasons, very few knew of its existence and even fewer knew where it was and how to access it. From the control complex, I was able to ascertain Atlantis's gate address and location. It is in a neighboring galaxy in the local cluster. I will return with Atlantis to the galaxy of Avalon and will start rebuilding."

At the mention of Atlantis, the Asgard started murmuring excitedly. The magnificent city ship was legendary, not being seen for millions of years. The murmurs quickly turned to some quick debate and discussions. Harry purposely didn't eavesdrop on their conversation, already figuring out what they were talking about. It was in fact part of his plan.

"Magnus," Freyr started, "the High Council would like to know if you would allow a contingent of Asgard to go with you to the city ship Atlantis. They will be your to command and if you so desire, they will remain that way until a time in which you decide that you would like for them to return. With this team, there will also be a small strike force of Asgard vessels."

Harry instantly nodded and smiled. "I think that arrangement would work. We both could gain a lot from us working together; here is my plan…"
